Boot camp, trackpad problem with windows 8.1

Hello everyone,
I started to use windows 8.1 on my mac pro (13-inch, retina, late 2013)
The problem is that none of the trackpad gestures are working.
My keyboard lighting also does not work. My all drivers are installed and up to date.
How can I fix this problem?

There are two things to check.
1. Control Panel -> Boot Camp -> Trackpad tab. Here is an example.
2. You have two different drivers.
Device Manager > Human Interface Devices > Apple Multitouch version 5.0.2.0
- It says Up to date and I've reinstalled the device to fix the problem, it did not work
Device Manager > Human Interface Devices > Apple Multitouch Mouse version 4.0.3.0
- It says Up to date and I've reinstalled the device to fix the problem, it did not work
Do you have both, a Trackpad and a Magic/Mighty Mouse paired to the same Mac?
On a 13" 2012 MBP with W8.1 this is what I have installed. Your list should be similar.

  • Boot Camp not working with Windows 7!

    I have a 2011 MBP which has Boot Camp installed w/ Windows 7. I recently had to reinstall Boot Camp after a bad experience with Windows 8, and I've started Windows 7 fresh. I used it 5 or 6 times, but now when I go to use Windows 7 all I get is a black screen. HOWEVER, if I boot up in Windows Safe Mode, it works fine. Something tells me the Graphics Driver is playing up, but what do I do??

    start over with a removal of Windows and the partition it is on, using the Boot Camp Assistant program again, and then Reinstall Windows by using the BCA program.
    Mkae sure you have the latest Windows drivers from Apple by running the Apple Updater found in the start menu of Windows after it is reinstalled.
    you may also be able to do that while booted into Safe Mode and solve your problem. You might want to try that first before you remove and reinstall Windows.

  • Boot Camp not working with Windows 8 System Builder

    I have a 21.5 inch late 2012 iMac running 10.9.1, and purchased Windows 8 System Builder to install with Boot Camp. I also have an external Samsung DVD writer for the Windows disk and a 16-gig USB thumb drive for the support software.
    Because I have the external DVD, I did not select the Boot Camp Assistant option to create an ISO image. Boot Camp proceeded through several steps, downloading the software and partitioning the drive. But it hangs up at the black screen, after I boot from the Windows disk. Error: "Couldn't find BOOTMGR."
    It seems that people with similar problems are finding they have to create a bootable USB <http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1511982>. But I don't understand how to do this step. Can somebody explain the process / what to look for on the DVD? Or do I have to download something, in which case I keep being led to this <http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/hh699156.aspx> but I need Windows 8 and not 8.1.
    Thanks for any help.

    UPDATE
    I have made a lot of progress. Windows is now running and trying to install. It identifies the various partitions but says that I cannot install Windows on the Boot Camp partition or any other. I select Drive options (advanced) and Format the Boot Camp drive, but it makes no difference.
    This is the Windows error:
    Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk has an MBR partition table. On EFI systems, Windows can only be installed to GPT disks.
    Windows cannot be installed to this disk. This computer's hardware may not support booting to this disk. Ensure that the disk's controller is enabled in the computer BIOS menu.
    Would appreciate any help. I installed Windows on an older Mac years ago without much trouble.

  • Boot Camp 3.0 with Windows 7

    Hi!
    I have upgraded the Mac OS X to 10.6.2 and the Boot Camp 3.0. After I installed Windows 7 on Mac Book air, I cannot find any boot menu for Windows 7 and Mac OS. Would anyone can help me.

    "By relaunching BootCamp from the Windows side, it re-installed all of the features for BootCampBy relaunching BootCamp from the Windows side, it re-installed all of the features for BootCamp"
    How did you relaunch it? I tried using the Snow Leopard install disk to do so and it didn't work. I searched the Windows 7 program list and there in no "bootcamp" program. Apple offers a program to run BEFORE the Windows 7 upgrade that unlocks something, but that didn't work either after the install.

  • Problems with Windows XP SP3 in Boot Camp

    Hi,
    I have recently received a 21.5" iMac; it is the higher-end of the 21.5" standard configurations. The problems I am having, I believe, specifically relate to drivers.
    Firstly, I get no sound whatsoever in Windows XP SP3 (boot camp); I have tried removing and reinstalling the drivers from the Snow Leopard install disc, but no success. I have no yellow question marks in the device manager window, but the absence of audio still persists.
    Secondly, I cannot gain access to the special functions of the Apple wireless keyboard in Windows XP SP3 via Boot Camp. Again, I have tried reinstalling the drivers, but no success. I have read an Apple support document which states that the keys are only supported on late 2009 Macs; I own one of these Macs, so that cannot be the problem.

  • Boot Camp problems with Windows 7, and a new Macbook Pro

    When I try to install Windows 7, when the process is almost complete and Windows is finalizing all settings, the system reboots then gets stuck at the white/gray bootscreen, and then tries to boot from disk, only to repeat the bootscreen cycle indefinitely. How do I fix this? Thank you very much.

    My MAC BOOK is 13 inch, first generation of unibody that I bought when it first came out last November, 2009. It seems that the latest boot camp 3.1 does not support windows7 64 bits on my mac book model. I followed Apple instruction to upgrade boot camp 3.0 when running XP 32 bits. And I then upgrade my XP 32 bits to 64 bit Windows 7. The upgrade/installation was successful but I encountered a lot of problems with the mouse and sound.
    1. No sound with my new Windows 7 64 bits.
    2. I managed to make Windows 7 64 bit recognize my apple mighty mouse. But the mouse does not funtion normal as expected. It does not work with swiping and scrolling.
    3. I could not re-install boot camp 3.0 from windows.old nor from the Mac OS X installation disk. When I tried to run setup.exe from the MAC OS X snow leopard, I got the error "Boot camp x64 is unsupported for this model"
    I am really disappointed that boot camp 3.1 is not universally supported for all mac book or mac book pro.
    I need help to re-install boot camp for my Windows 7? I bought the upgrade through education upgrade program and I selected to get 64 bit version so I do not want to rollback the installation to 32 bit.
    Please help.

  • Problems with Windows install and erasing Boot camp partition.

    I recently decided I'd try running a copy of XP on my Macbook, the only reason being that the software for my OU work is only available on Windows. I used Boot camp assistant to partition my hard drive which went smoothly. When I tried to install Windows, I get to the Windows install screen, and it says "Press enter to begin installation". Unfortunately, my keyboard doesn't seem to work, so obviously I can't begin the installation. I've tried using my old Apple USD keyboard, but it didn't make any difference. I thought I'd try the whole process from scratch, but found I can't erase the original partition. I've read that you should use Boot camp assistant again, but when I press the continue key, I get the message:
    "The startup disk must be formatted as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume or already partitioned by Boot Camp Assistant for installing Windows."
    Does anybody know a way of sorting either of these problems out? Much appreciated.

    I've been doing a bit more reading into the problem. I think the keyboard problem's because I'm not using the SP2 version on XP. So hopefully once I get a copy, I should be able to sort it. But I still can't seem to use BCA to erase the partition.

    If GTA IV believes the system is under specification even though the computer is powerful enough to run the game with higher settings, the following will fix this problem.
    This will work if your problem looks like this: "resource usage 230/60" and you can't change any other setting
    Just follow the steps:
    Step 1: Create a text file named ‘commandline.txt’ (without the " ")
    Step 2: Put the following statement inside it:
    i5 users: -availablevidmem 18.0 (with the -)
    i7 users: -availablevidmem 22.0 (with the -)
    Step 3: Open the main GTAIV folder (C/ program files (86)/ rockstar games/ GTA IV) and copy the commandline.txt file into it.
    Step 4: locate the file "GTAIV.exe" (in GTA main folder)
    Right click the file and select Properties
    Under the shortcut tab, you will see an area that says Target
    Modify the Target adding the command line after the last quotation mark (just add the statement you added in commandline.txt)
    (remember, i5 users: -availablevidmem 18.0 / i7 users: -availablevidmem 22.0)
    It should look something like this:
    Make sure to add space between " and -"
    I hope This helps, although late cx

  • I have a mac book pro with Boot Camp that also runs windows.  I upgraded to Lion and somehow it crashes the mac side peridoically.  I am told I need to "clean" it and reinstall lion using the recovery drive.  will that delete the windows partition too??

    I have a mac book pro with Boot Camp that also runs windows.  I upgraded to Lion and now the mac side crashes/freezes periodically, especially iphoto.  I am told by the genius' that I probably need to "clean" it and reinstall lion using the "recovery drive" which resets everything back to default and reinstalls the lion operating system.  My question is will this also delete the "windows" partition drive and all that data too.  If so that will be a huge pain in the ___ to back up and reinstall boot camp and windows. I want to shoot the lion.

    There is no system like Acronis for the Mac platform. You can try using the buiilt in Disk Utility to create an Image of the complete Mac drive but I have found that this does not work very well as on tryiing to restore it gives errors sometimes.
    You can use SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner to create a bootable Clone of your system partition. But that is only for the System partition and not the complete drive.
    If you use Boot Camp to install Windows on your Mac neither of those two programs will clone the Windows side.
    Neither will Disk utility as Mac's can not create or write to a NTFS partition. So some other program is need for that.

  • Just installed windows 7 Ultimate using Boot Camp. Problem is when I chose to boot the windows partition, I get the windows icon on the sreen showing that it is starting, but few second after I get a black screen

    Just installed windows 7 Ultimate using Boot Camp. Problem is when I choose to boot the windows partition, I get the windows icon on the screen showing that it is starting, but few second after, I get a blank screen. I suspect a driver (screen) issue, since I also installed Parallell using the boot camp partition and that works fine.
    Do anybody out there has an ideal of what to do to solve this issue.

I had only 4gb available on the windows so I wanted more space. I went to the disk utility and created some space for the windows by shrinking the mac's hard a bit and then switched to windows and tried to do it by a program called '' AOMEI Dynamic Disk Manager'' and the machine restarted and everything seem to go well untill  almost at the end of the installation the problem occured some kind of an error I dont remember anymore and then I restarted my computer and pressed the alt button and I had still there the windows option the available, but when I enter it nothing happens and then occurs text '' system operating file missing '' ??? So what can I do? Have I lost all of my files that were on windows 7? is there anyway to get them back and if so how? Please guys I really need help, I have very important files that I need ASAP !!! I might lose my job, if I will lose them, so please help me ! I havent done any back up to the windows? Is there anything I could do anymore to get the partition and the files back?

    Please guys help me out ! what can I do? I tried to google something but really couldnt find anything,
    Thnx for u in advance!

    You have to install the drivers yourself with either a 10.6 install dvd or from a download choice when starting the Boot Camp installation.
    After installing Windows, install Mac-specific drivers and other software for Windows using your Mac OS X installation disc.
    The Mac OS X disc installs drivers to support Mac components, including AirPort, built-in iSight camera, the Apple Remote, the trackpad on a portable Mac, and the function keys on an Apple keyboard.
    The Mac OS X disc also installs the Boot Camp control panel for Windows and the Apple Boot Camp system tray item.
    OR
    If you can’t find the CD, DVD, or external disk with the support software you downloaded, open Boot Camp Assistant and download the software again.
    You can quit the assistant after you save the software without creating a new partition.
    Insert the CD or DVD or connect the external disk with the Windows support software.
            The installer may start automatically. If it doesn’t, do one of the following:
    If the support software is on the same USB flash drive as the Windows 7 installer, double-click the setup.exe file in the WindowsSupport directory.

  • Boot Camp error: The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition. The startup disk must be formatted as a single Mac OS Extended (Jounraled) volume or already partitioned by Boot Camp Assistant for installing Windows.

    Hi!
    I am getting the error:
    "The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition.  The startup disk must be formatted as a single Mac OS Extended (Jounraled) volume or already partitioned by Boot Camp Assistant for installing Windows."
    I read up some on google, but all of them says that they have crated a partition and that is the problem, I only have the standard "Macintosh HD".
    I tried to create a partition manually in disk utility but then the error message: "Partition failed with error message: Could not unmount disk."
    Can anyone help me? It's driving me crazy.
    Thanks.

    This message, and threads like yours got asked daily for over two years, now it is only a couple times a week!!
    Is it so hard to follow through? you were to have backup already, clones are best, then erase/format and restore.
    Then partition.
    Some have been able to use Disk Utility booted from OS X DVD or another drive, and repair the drive.
    You have to use Boot Camp Assistant (99.9% anyway) to create and achieve a proper Windows Master Boot Record partition.

  • White Screen of Death at Startup - Boot Camp Based Problem

    I recently received my Intel-based 20" iMac yesterday and this morning I set it up and transfered all of my files from my old Windows XP computer successfully. I then played around with the iLife suite and a few other programs and decided I should probably run Boot Camp and set up Windows for a few Windows-based programs I need and some games that are Windows only.
    I started to look up Boot Camp on the Apple website, then realized iMacs that came with Leapord pre-installed should already have Boot Camp on them. I searched in Spotlight for "Boot camp" and found the "Boot Camp Assistant." I thought that was close enough, so I started the application up.
    First, it told me I needed to partition my hard drive and create a space for Windows. I figured I would have only a few esential programs on it, so I opted for a partion of about 10-12 GB if I remember correctly. The installer then told me to insert my Windows disc and I then put in my Windows XP SP1 installation CD. It read it, shutdown, then booted back up into what I recognized as the Windows setup screen.
    It went through the normal setup steps, until it got to a point where it asked what partition I should install Windows on. There was only one partition listed, so obviously I chose that one, but what was weird was the partition said it was over 100,000 MB, which is not the 10 GB I told it to partition. I got scared when it told me it would have to format the partition since it wasn't suitable for a Windows installation yet. I figured it wouldn't hurt to recheck the amount I partitioned, so I quit out of the Windows installer.
    Next, my Mac restarted and went to the infamous white screen of death.
    I have tried basically every single way to fix this.
    I tried:
    Alt - Option - PR (Reset the PRam) And waited for both 2, 3, 4, and 5 dings
    Alt
    Option
    Shift (Safe Mode)
    Put in the Mac OS X disc and booted up holding:
    D
    C
    None of these worked. Sorry if my key abbreviations are off, by the way, because I'm writing this on a Windows laptop and I haven't gotten the keys down for Macs yet.
    Does anyone have any suggestions? Apple call support is curretly closed, at least in my timezone. I'll probably try calling them tomorrow, but mostly I'm afraid of having to get a whole new harddrive and/or iMac. I haven't backed up my data anywhere yet (this is just my first day with the Mac) so if I lose the data, there goes upwards of a few thousand dollars in music and other data expenses.
    Thanks in advance for ideas, I'll try anything you throw at me now, as long it doesn't void the warranty or involve formatting my hard drive. (Though if you know a way to format my hard drive AND save my data, that would be even better)

    All the data that you transfered to the iMac should still be on the PC which originally contained the content. Transferring to the Mac is in reality only copying.
    A Boot Camp Windows installation requires Windows SP2 only;
    To use Boot Camp, you need:
    1. An Intel-based Macintosh computer with a built-in or USB keyboard and a built-in trackpad or USB mouse.
    2. Mac OS X 10.5 or later
    3. The latest firmware updates available for your Intel-based Mac.
    4. At least 10 GB of free space on your startup disk (single partition).
    5. A full, single-disc version of Windows Vista, Windows XP Home Edition or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later. Boot Camp does not include Windows. You must provide your own properly licensed installation disc.
    

Important: A Windows XP installation disc must include Service Pack 2 (SP2). You cannot install an earlier version of Windows and upgrade to Windows XP, nor install an earlier version of Windows XP and update it to SP2.

    6. Boot Camp Assistant (find it installed in /Applications/Utilities/ on Leopard).
    Just an idea for you. There is an entire Apple Discussion forum dedicated to Boot Camp and Windows.
    Whereas, not everyone here with an Intel iMac has installed, tried to install or has experience with BC & Windows, everyone there has or at least has an interest. You may attract help more quickly there.
    The Forums are at the bottom of the main Apple Discussions page under Windows Compatible Technology. Here is a link;
