This is reported against an old version of Ubuntu and many things has
changed since then. Because of that we won't fix this issue however if
this behavior repeats on a modern version please fill a bug report
against it and we will take it from there.

Title:
  Apple Magic Trackpad requires PIN to pair, fails manual pairing

Status in bluez package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: bluez

  The Apple Magic Trackpad requires a PIN to pair upon first activation.
  Such PIN is '0000' which can be entered on a regular keyboard. Once
  connected, it also requires granting authorization to connect again.
  See the two attachments for such dialogs.

  When trying to setup this device manually (after moving it from
  another system, for example), by default Ubuntu will propose a random
  6-number PIN, which can't be entered on the trackpad, which then means
  pairing fails.

  This trackpad should connect automatically, although I don't
  personally know enough about bluetooth to suggest how this should
  happen.

  I have documented a workaround to pair this device here:
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Multitouch/AppleMagicTrackpad

  Once paired the device does not need pairing each time the system is
  used / restarted, it will remember it.
