Any fix for touch pad issue in mac book pro on windows 7?

Hi, I've recently installed windows 7 and parallels in my mac book pro. While i run windows with the parallels track pad, scrolling and right click are functioning properly. But when i logon to windows directly none of them are functioning.
Pls lemme know if there is any fix for this.
Thanks

Running Windows in parallels from the BootCamp partition messes the original installation. My experience. You will have to remove the parallels virtual machine from mac and did a complete reinstall of Windows later.It is better to keep your virtual machine separately.
This is not true. Running Bootcamped Windows from Parallels or Fusion does not impact the Bootcamp installation of Windows. It just provides a different access to the single Windows installation. Both Parallels and Fusion support this configuration and instructions for how to use Bootcamped Windows as the virtual machine's tartget operating system is included on each virtual machines's respective site.

The touch pad on my Mac book Pro is very sensitive and causes changes without hardly touching it. Can this be changed or does it need replacement?

Touchpads are just that, touchpads.
You touch it and something happens unfortunately, you can't rest your fingers on it while your waiting to do something else or it triggers a response.
You either have to train yourself to remove your fingers and keep them suspended, causing wrist, arm and hand pain, or plug in a standard mouse where nothing happens until you press the button, like years of ergonomic experience has shown is a much superior method.
Touchpads are likely less expensive to produce and breakdown less often under warranty, so just like less expensive to produce glossy screens, it's a cost cutting measure they were incorporated into our devices and required users to adapt to sweeps, gestures and other useless actions for little benefit.
I've owned my Early 2011 MacBook Pro for a year now and have only used the trackpad once, the mushy keyboard perhaps only a couple of dozen times. Preferring external devices where I can rest my digits and nothing happens until I apply pressure or use a scroll wheel.
Needless to say my keyboard area is in brand new condiiton, remains covered from the original packaging, protects against dirt and spills too.
Mac's keyboard and trackpad area tend to wear out pretty fast, like in about 3 years, making one consider getting a new machine long before it physically fails.

Hey rudreshchoubey,
Thanks for the question. The following resource may help to resolve your issue:
Boot Camp Installation & Setup Guide

If Windows doesn’t install properly
Verify that you’re using an original, full version of the 64-bit version of Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Professional, Windows 7 Ultimate, Windows 8, or Windows 8 Pro.
Restart your Mac and hold down the Option key until one or more disk icons appear on your screen. Insert the Windows installation disc into the optical drive or insert the USB flash drive with Windows into a USB port on your Mac. Select the Windows installation disk icon, then click the arrow beneath it. Quickly press any key on your keyboard to start the installer. Follow the onscreen instructions to repair or reinstall Windows.
Thanks,

Open your Displays system preferences. Is there an Arrangement tab and does it show two screens? If no Arrangement tab then your mac does not know it has two screens. Maybe smc and pram reset will shake it free and maybe not. Maybe there's something wrong with the connection. Thunderbolt plugs are similar to mini-displayport plugs so make sure the plug is pushed firmly in so that essentially all the metal part disappears inside the socket. The plugs can be a little tricky in that you need to make sure the plug is fully seated in their socket.
If you do see two screens in the Arrangement tab then click Detect Displays and Gather Windows to get the Displays preferences of the other monitor on to your main monitor. Check the resolution and if there is a refresh rate check that as well.

Recently my track pad (in my Mac Book Pro) does not respond to 'clicking' commands. It does just fine with a USB cable mouse. What do I do?

Are you tapping to click or physically clicking? If you're clicking, does the trackpad button go down all the way?

Best regards : aljuhani

That's the US and Canadian terms only. The other countries each have their own terms document, e.g.:
http://www.apple.com/uk/macosx/uptodate/
http://www.apple.com/fr/macosx/uptodate/
http://www.apple.com/de/macosx/uptodate/
http://www.apple.com/it/macosx/uptodate/
http://www.apple.com/eg/macosx/uptodate/
http://www.apple.com/kw/macosx/uptodate/
Etc. This is true of almost all Apple legal documentation; they have one set for each country.

Any Trade in info to upgrade to Mac Book Pro?

I have a 1 yr old PowerBook G4 15 inch. Would like to upgrade to a Mac Book Pro 15 inch. Bought G4 thru Denver Apple Store. Are there any offers to upgrade from this to the new Intel version?

a brody,
Thanks for the advice and link. I'd actually read the Apple notice about the "high-pitched buzzing noise," which in part prompted me to send the machine in for repairs (the Genius actually recommended a logic board replacement, but the Apple techs seemed to ignore this request, probably because of the shortage).
I like your plan, but from other users' accounts of their experience with customer relations, I'm skeptical that I'll actually be able to receive a replacement. It sounds like AppleCare and Customer Rervice are both very reluctant to do replacements for machines that have only received a single repair. Am I simply wrong about this? In any case I suppose it wouldn't hurt to try.
And just to flesh out the plan a bit... Suppose I'm talking to an AppleCare rep, and they repeatedly refuse to replace my machine. What do I need to do in order to 'escalate' the issue to customer relations? Presumably getting mad and yelling at the rep is not a good idea. Are there some magic words I can utter? Is it as simple as saying "I'd like to escalate this issue to customer relations"? As of next week my notebook will be "business critical," would telling them this help? Maybe crying?? (j/k but hey, if it works...)
Finally, is there any chance of a refund if I bought the machine in late May? I know it's WAY past the 14-day repair period, but conceivably they'd make exceptions under certain circumstances? Quite honestly the speed of the MBPRO is not worth dealing with these issues (for me, anyway), and I'd be ecstatic if I could go back to square one and get an EOL PowerBook.

Is $500 a good price for a 2007 15 inch Mac book pro?

Hi guys, first post so go easy on me!
I'm just curious if $500 is a good price for the 2007 Mac book pro. He tells me it is running Lion, it also includes a magic mouse. I just want to make sure I'm not walking into a bad deal.
Thank you for your help!

"I just sent a message to the guy asking for those details. When I find out, I'll post here."
So some guy advertises a MacBook Pro 2007 with no information and you don't ask for details up front?

Canon MX850 printer issues with Mac Book Pro

I have a new Mac book pro - I have used my Canon 400D camera with my Canon MX850 printer for 6-7 years with great results. Now my images look great on iPhoto but do not print clearly. It is disappointing as I bought the laptop with the retina screen for my photography. What can I do to get me images up to standard?

Jenniferann48,
have you installed the most recent PIXMA MX850 driver for Mavericks from Canon?

Hard Drive / software issues on Mac Book Pro

I am a new MAC owner! I have splashed out on a 17" Mac Book Pro with standard configuration of 2Gb Ram and 160GB HD. iLife 2006 is on as standard and I have loaded Parallels with MS XP service pack 2, Office 2004 iWorks 2006 and Reunion Family tree software and iTunes with all my music transfered from my old PC which fills about 8GB on my 80GB iPod. Last night I tried to load my back up documents from a portable HD it all started ok then an error message said not enough memory. When I checked the HD there was only 8.14Gb of space left on the HD with the rest being taken up. iTunes seems to have 79GB of space and iPhoto abot 60GB with about 100 photos in.
Does anyone know where all my HD resources are? Have I inadvertantly given everything over to windows in some strange way? What has happened? HEEELLLP! Please.

it might be worth reposting over in one of the Mac Book Pro forums. (you're currently posting in iTunes for Windows, and the Mac specialists may not see you here.)
Mac Book Pro
a note about your itunes problem on the old PC:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=4446770#4446770
... what you're getting there is consistent with itunes being run in an odd "Display Settings" compatibility mode.
use the following document to find where the compatibility mode controls are kept:
iTunes for Windows: How to turn off Compatibility Mode
now below the checkbox discussed in that document, you should see three different checkboxes in a "Display Settings" area. make sure that none of those boxes are checked.
does that help with the display problem on that PC? (if you've still got it about?)

Are you using subscription versions of Office? If yes, the subscription entitles you to install Office on up to five machines, including Macs or PCs and tablets.
If it's a traditional version (which need to be activated with a product key), if you want to transfer it to a new machine. You may choose the phone activation and activate the Office. You might check this link to see how to do a phone activation:

Mac book pro or windows..please help me.....

Ok so I have a mac mini….i wanna get a mac book pro…im gonna get the 7200 rpm drive..2gb ram.everything good with it as you vcan probably terll money is not an issue…but I c that the mac book pro only has a 2.16ghz processor…..now ive looked at windows computers and they have like over 4ghz… would a windows be faster……..
Any help is apreciated

Ahh, it all depends on what you're doing. What is it that you want to do? It's an important consideration when buying a computer. This is my (rough) understanding of Windows-compatible processors (gleaned from my PC using friends).
AMD processors are like a race car, they go really fast, but try taking all your shopping home in them (ie. great for single processor intensive tasks, but fall down on multi-tasking.)
Intel processors are a people carrier, their handling ain't so snappy (ie. great for multi-tasking but their MHz just don't go as far when you really push them to do something hard like top-end gaming, graphics or video.)
These are generalisations, and silly analogies. Bear this in mind. If you want to know more, you need to learn about processor queues, pipeline stages and such - I know the slightest smallest teeniest bit about that, but you can google it yourself if you wanna know that badly.
The top spec laptop is always slower than the top spec desktop. If your 4GHz system is a PC desktop (which I'm assuming, I've never heard of a 4GHz laptop) then of course it will be faster (although there are other things to take into account, like frontside bus speed, memory bus speed, L2 cache, single/dual processor which are also very important). To be honest though, if you don't understand this stuff, then why do you need a very fast computer?
If you're doing games you're gonna having to learn about this (and I'd definitely recommend a top-spec Windows desktop machine).
If you just want a computer to some word processing, e-mails, videos and photos then get the mac - it's way more compatible (can run OS X and XP) and a lot more pretty, and a lot easier to use
If you're involved in creativity, again, I'd recommend the Mac - it's just the done thing and the laptop'll have plenty of poke for nearly anything (except maybe heavy-duty HD video editing).
Oh yeah I agree with the last guy as well, Windows does end up running slow as sh*t after a year tops. Basically it requires an annual system reinstall if you want any sort of performance out of it

Printing from Mac Book Pro to windows printer Error 306

Error 306
I tried several setups before I figured this out.
Trying to print to windows printer
Mac Book Pro / Canon MX 870 resulted in print error 306.
Home network with Linksys wireless N router
First delete the printer on the Mac.
Make sure you go to Canon's website and download latest driver for your Mac. Canon's software driver site detects your operating system automatically and takes you to the driver you need, just make sure everything matches up. You can see the OS version you are using by clicking on the apple icon and then (about this mac)
I also down loaded network tool package. Not sure if you need it, but I loaded it too.
Now on the Canon MX870, go to the wireless set up menu. (key pad on the printer itself). Follow the promts and you will get to where you can enter your network password and get your printer to connect to your router. Now the wireless Icon on the printer will be on steady.
Now back on the Mac, Click the Apple Icon, System Preferences, then click on printers and scanners.
You will see, Default- Scanner- IP- Windows, icons at the top of the page. Just be sure the default is highlighted.
My Scanner came up first, then a few seconds later the printer appeared.
Select the printer
Use the one with all the numbers after the printer name. (MX870xxxxxxxxxxx)
Canon U Network
Click on it and then click the add button bottom right
Make sure your are always in good wireless signal strength throughout the entire process.
Hope this helps.
Lou

Thanks for the detailed info Lou!
