For best results when using the trackpad, keep in mind these tips:

m Use only your finger on the trackpad (and be sure your finger is dry).
Do not use a pen or any other object.
m Sometimes humidity or condensation may cause moisture to gather
on the trackpad. If this happens, gently wipe the trackpad with a
clean cloth before you use it.
m You can use the trackpad to click and drag. For instructions, see
“How do I use the trackpad to click and drag?” in the “Customizing
Your Computer” topic area of Mac OS Guide, available in the
