Apple trackpad on Bootcamp won't work

I have MBP 2012, I installed Windows 7 pro and everything was fine until I restarted my MBP. When I boot to windows to windows the track pad works fine for about 3 minutes and then will act like Boot camp was never installed. I went to the control panel and double checked that boot camp setting is there and checked the settings and everything is as it suppose to be, however, the track pad is not working as it suppose to be ( tap to select, tap with two fingers to get the right click ...Etc. ). then I tried to reinstall the bootcamp from a USB and worked fine until I restart to go back and use my MBP again. I have to reinstall the Bootcamp everytime I need to use windows.
Please help. anyone know why my MBP act like this on windows.
I'm running OS X Yosemite on my MBP and it's working perfect

Event Viewer is a built-in Windows utility.
Can I also suggest connecting a USB-wired mouse to your Mac to ensure that a wired mouse also shows the same behavior? If it does not, then your trackpad may have hardware issues.
If it shows the same behavior, then it can be a driver issue or a USB bus issue.
The built-in trackpad is connected to a USB bus internally.

Does that mean you cannot move it to the TC and plug in by ethernet? What does bypass mean?
I would still move it closer to the TC.. and just trial it there. Range on some AC models for 2.4ghz is worse than old one. For some people.
Another thing to try is fixed wireless channels.. one of the very few options still available in the AC model.. lock the 2.4ghz to 11, 6, 1 .. try it in that order.

Trackpad in bootcamp doesn't work all the time

Hi, so I just bought a brand new MacBook Pro because out of my own stupidity, I destroyed my old one. I decided when I got the new one, that I would BootCamp it and run Windows 7 on a partition. I've been pretty happy with it so far, but occasionally, the trackpad doesn't work. Normally when I reboot into Windows the next time, it'll work. I don't know exactly what is causing it, but the settings within BootCamp tell me that it should be scrolling, right clicking, etc, and it simply isn't.... Any reason why this would be? It shouldn't be the drivers unless this came out with new ones between now and this past Saturday...
Thanks

my magic pad works fine under win8 but to use it I have to click on it first
as to activate it just start grouping it don't work

Apple mobile device service won't work?

I tried googling it and doing what it said. I ended up having to reinstall itunes which worked the first time. Now I am back to square one. As in an error message comes up saying apple mobile device service isn't started. It is running always and on automatic and won't let me even stop it. I can't stop, start, pause or change it. It seems the only way to fix this I can see is to keep reinstalling itunes... which obviously is not helping the problem. Somebody please help!

That is the exact page I was on when I googled the problem. Did not help. I did everything it said. Maybe it is something with my computer? I have a toshiba satellite L655-S5153.

APPLE TV 2nd GENERATION WON'T WORK IN BRAZIL

I just bought the new version of AppleTV. I have the old one as well and it
works flawless.
But this new version is not working as fine as the salesman told me at Apple
Store Miami Beach (Lincoln Road).
I bought this one so I could watch Apple TV at my folks place in Brazil.
Since I live in the US, I logged in my iTunes Store as soon as I got to
Brazil to visit them. The thing is, I can access the option to rent a movie,
but whenever I try to rent it, there's a message saying that there's a
problem with iTUnes Store and asks me to try again later. The salesman
guaranteed me that the AppleTV would work in Brazil with my US Account (but
I could only rent movies). What should I do ? Is it really a problem with
iTunes Store or all that proxy thing (that I was told it would not happen).

I would guess this is a restriction of your internet service in the UAE - A lot of middle eastern countries are restricted. Get yourself a router that support VPN, purchase a subscription to StrongVPN and then you will appear to be in the UK.
Hope that helps

The drivers supplied by bootcamp won't work for my macbook pro running windows 7

I installed windows 7 on new macbook pro using bootcamp. It downloaded drivers but the drivers dont work for ethernet, network adapter, usb and others.
Help needed.

I found out you need to run the 'setup' application from the flash drive in Windows to install the proper drivers. I was trying to windows to search the drive for the drivers. I don't know why its not being explained that way.
Hope this helps others.
It is explained that way in the Boot Camp manual, did you read it (page 22)?

Apple "Chat Now" Feature Won't Work in Safari

Every-time I try the Chat Now feature on the Apple Store page, it says "TEXT/IMAGE FOR SYSTEM NOT AVAILABLE"
Is there a way to make Safari work with this? I've tried using Firefox and still the same problem.
Thanks,
Mason

I'm not sure if it is a problem. Some people on other forums say it works for them. Actually about a month ago it worked for me in Firefox.

WHAT HAS APPLE DONE? ipod won't work with itunes 9.0

I have an 80GB iPod, (MB147LL) when trying to sync with iTunes 9.0 the iPod gets corrupted. I have the luxury of having more than 1 type of Apple computer at home. All the computers that have been updated to iTunes 9.0 will corrupt the ipod all with itunes 8.2.1 will sync just fine. All systems are running 10.5.8 OSX. What is going on? I have several iPods and they all act the same. Surely this is not just a phenomena at my house.

I have solved the problem. You need to re-instore iTunes 8.21 by following these instructions:
http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-10371925-263.html?tag=nl.e780
Would recommend backing every stage up though just in case.
Now plug the iPod into the computer. This is what happened. It still would not sync but said 'do not disconnect'. The iPod did this time show up on the desktop so I ejected it that way. Closed iTunes down and unplugged the iPod. Reconnected it to the computer. Opened iTunes. This time it synced. I let it finish syncing. But it still said do not disconnect. So I looked in iTunes and saw it was ticked for 'enable disk use'. Undid that and everything works just fine.

Canon MP470 purchased from Apple 2 months ago won't work with Leopard

I purchased the latest and greatest iMac 2 months ago for my wife. I also purchased a printer as part of an Apple Store promotion. This past weekend I upgraded to OS 10.5.1 and now the printer will not work. There is no driver for that model included in 10.5.1 and Canon referes you back to Apple. Apple refers you back to the Manufacturer.
My wife wants to go back to OS 10.4 (like the commercial where Vista users upgrade to an older more reliable experience). I now have a totally useless Canon multi-funtion printer and a really cool OS without the ability to print.
Can anyone help?

Canon posted new drivers for some of their printers - including the MP470 - at the start of November. These specifically say they support 10.5 (though I had no problem using older drivers for my MX310 in 10.5.0).
Get them from:
http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&tabact=DownloadDet ailTabAct&fcategoryid=334&modelid=15403
or:
http://www.canon.com.au/products/allin_one_printers/all_in_one_printers/mp470support.aspx
I only upgraded to 10.5.1 (from 10.5.0) last night so haven't tested printing again. I hope this helps.

Got replacement MacBook Pro from Apple and now CS2 won't work. Help!

After a long story of woe, which is too long to get into now, Apple ended up replacing my near-dead two-year old computer with a new MacBook Pro. (Yay, Apple!) They imaged my old drive, and put it on the new computer, including the applications. I transferred over my CS2 Suite, but now I'm getting Space Monkey, and my Illustrator will start loading and then shut itself down. Since I got the original CS2, I've moved and moved and moved again, and the disks are no where to be found.
Does anyone have any advice about how to get the CS2 Suite up and running again? Am I going to have to call Adobe and plead my case with them for a new install file?
Help! I have so many files that I need to access.

Your best option is to reinstall it, and if you don't have the discs you'll need to contact Adobe.
Otherwise, since CS is not an Apple product, and your issues are not with an Apple product, you should post further questions regarding CS on Adobe's own forums at: http://www.adobeforums.com

Bootcamp won't work on MacBook pro i7 Lion

I'm trying to install windows 7 on my MacBook pro i7 with the latest lion os. It won't create the driver DVD download as it says it can't find the SuperDrive. Then it won't partition the main drive as it says there are large files it can't move! I don't really want to go down the defrag route. Please help. Cheers

Well, your only free method is to erase and restore your system.
Now, Superduper does a great clone with consolidating free space on restore and clones are bootable, so doubly useful.. So does Paragon's Clone (Windows) OS. Neither is free.
Disk Utilty: Restore
TimeMachine
free but sometimes the restore does not consolidate all the free space.
And yes those can. And you can't restore without booting from another drive or partition.
Safe Mode only applies to "pick yourself up by your own bootstraps" and defrags are long slow and inefficient. And should never be attempted without backups. The number of people that dont' backup; want free (they think programmer's time isn't worth anything I guess).
There is one method that people have stumbled and found worth trying:
Shrink your main HFS partition down by 105GB. Then undo and move back to full hard drive space.
Installers will fragment and use the inner tracks for temp files and changes. And some programs place file that remains locked.
Use Lion Recovery partition (command-r / or use Option key to select to boot from) to be able to unmount and repair your main drive.
Check Disk Utility: Help menu for tips and topics. Just like those "?" you fnid on most Windows programs. They often have what a person wants and links to support.

Changed Apple ID Email, iMessage won't work.

Hi,
Today I changed my primary email on my apple ID so that it wasn't an ISP email, and now when I try to associate FaceTime and iMessage with the ID I can't because a screen pops up wanting me to login with my old email. The iTunes store and iCloud both accept the new email, but iMessage and FaceTime will not let me get past trying to sign in with the old email. When I click add an email in the messages menu, a screen pops up with the CORRECT email address but then there's quickly a popup to enter the password for the wrong one. Has anyone been able to fix this?
-Nathan

If you follow the instructions given by Apple and sign out of all Apple ID services before changing the primary email address of your Apple ID, you don't run into problems. I've done that a few times with no issues.
