Cant change tap to click settings because boot camp does not appear in the drive or task bar.

Late 2008 macbook pro 8Gb ram 750Gb HDD 2.8Ghz intel duo-core with OSX 10.9 (partition with Windows 7 ultamate)
I am experiancing a whole host of issues with installing windows on my mac, frst of all the genuine product key that I bought directly from microsoft does not work. Also my trackpad is partially broken so I can only tap to click which means that I have to use my external trackpad to use the computer in windows 7. Therefore I have tried to set windows 7 to tap to click but could not find the way to change that and the fourms said I could change it throuh the Bootcamp settings but bootcamp doesent appear anywhere in the search field and the icon is missing from the task bar and so is the arrow for showing hidden icons. As it is I can't get anywhere with this machine. Will someone please help me!

Boot camp does not give me the option to make a partition, instead it just gives me the options to download windows support software, install windows 7, etc. I do not want any of these, I want to set aside the space on my hard drive!

Hello, I wish to install Linux Ubuntu on my macbook pro by using boot camp to set aside space. Whenever I load the Boot Camp Assistant application out of the utilities folder in applications, it only gives me the options to download windows support software and install windows 7. I do not want this, I just want to be able to slide that little bar to set aside the space on my hard drive that i can use for Linux. I tried just downloading the windows support software but my internet is immensely slow and it has been an hour or so since it started and it's not even half way done. When this download is finished will i get the option to partition or will i just be faced with those same options?
I am on a 13" macbook pro, with apple OS X snow leopard version 10.7.2
A lot of the data on this macbook was transferred over from my old macbook i had.
Any ideas on how to fix this problem?
Thank you for reading.

Well thank you for your honesty. Apple requires you have to have a Mac to develop iPhone apps, ergo my foray into OS-Xland. No way around it that one except for running OSX in a VM, which would have probably saved me some quid, true enough.
BUT for those interested parties: VirtualBox has a startup script in /Library/StartupItems/VirtualBox that will prevent OSX from fully booting on the initial (and required) rEFIt boot cycle. Once I temporarily moved that out of the StartupItems rEFIt went in as expected.
FYI, the openSUSE desktop running native is a little peppier than OSX native which was a nice surprise. Now if the Mac just had more open source software we would have a deal. (:

Tap to click Windows 8 Boot Camp MacBook Pro Mountain Lion?

I am running Windows 8 through Boot Camp on a 2012 MacBook Pro, and I can't figure out how to enable the tap-to-click feature that I use on the OSX partition of my hard drive. Can anyone help?

Change “Tap to Click” (and other preferences) using Apple’s Boot Camp Control Panel:
Hit Windows + W (er, Command + W) to search in settings, type “Boot Camp” and hit Enter/Return.
Answer “Yes” to the question about whether you want to let this app have its way with your computer.
In the resulting “Boot Camp Control Panel” switch to the “Trackpad” tab.

My back button does not work because the prior screen does not appear in the history. I therefore must go back to the blue screen and reload safari. Apple tech support could not help. Can anyone else help?

After I installed mountain lion my back button frequently does not work because the prior screen does not appear iunder History. Apple tech support was not able to fix the problem. Does anyone have any suggestions?

You don't in the condition it's in. You will either have to get the phone replaced by Apple or pay a 3rd party to repair it.
there seriously should be more than two ways to solve this other wise apple is useless and we will never buy another apple product.
Seriously? It's physically broken!

Boot camp does not install windows 7 -

I have created a partition with bootcamp - on my 250GB SSD - and put the slider to 41 Gb; I have the USB with the drivers inserted and the windows 7 disk (dvd?) inserted. When the retort happens, the windows installer starts (from dvd).
First of all I see the partition is 98 Gb - way too much, leaves almost no room for the soft are disk.
Then the installation does not commence, the partition is MS-DOS (FAT) (I checked with disk utility) while the partition should be NTFS (as windows expects). I does not allow me to select this partition.
What should I do?
I have had a working partition before on my HD, now - after I upgraded my iMAC - I wanted to install bootcamp/windows on my SSD.
-> I know that I can delete the partition using Boot Camp Assistant. Then I am clean all over again. I hope.

When creating a partition, Bootcamp assistant wants to also to install windows. That does not work because the error is there that it expects an NTFS file - and I am not going to reformat the partition using windows :-(
Yes. Terribly sorry about that. I forgot that Boot Camp automatically goes into a setup sequence and boots to the Windows installation DVD. I never use Boot Camp when I want to create a Windows partition since I can do the same thing manually the way I want the drive to be.
NTFS isn't a file, it's a format. Like FAT32 or Mac OS Extended (HFS+). Boot Camp will always create a FAT32 partition (called an MS-DOS partition in Disk Utility). Once it boots to the Windows DVD on the restart, your first step is to format the drive you just created in Boot Camp as NTFS. Then continue on with the install.
What I should have written above as step two was to manually create a new partition with Disk Utility and format it as MS-DOS. Then you could have made it any size you wanted and gone right into restoring your Windows 7 backup with WinClone. Again, while not making the least bit of difference the partition was FAT32 rather than NTFS. Restoring your Win 7 backup would have made it NTFS when done.
Since most folks aren't all that handy doing things manually, or just plain don't know how, Apple tries to simplify the process with Boot Camp. But the only part of it you really need is to create the drivers flash drive or disk. After that you can do the whole thing yourself, which is what I do.
Anyway, once you did create the new partition with Boot Camp, you could have stopped the entire process and booted back into OS X. Then restored the WinClone backup to the FAT32 partition. That would saved you the time watching Windows 7 install when you're just going to completely replace that install anyway.

Boot DVD does not appear in list on Option Restart

Greetings - I am attempting to run Stellar Partition Manager to adjust two partitions on my SSD drive. I have setup a dual boot configuration where 10.6.8 as well as 10.7.2 reside on that SSD drive in two separate partitions. To adjust the partitions I must restart the workstation from a Boot DVD created using that software, however after restarting while holding down the Option Key, the DVD disc does not appear as one of the choices in the bootable drives list. I believe the DVD drive is functioning properly as I routinely use it to read and write discs, including loading software. I have reset the PRAM, but that has had no affect. So far I have not received knowledgable support from Stellar, and have kind of gotten the run-around. I am hoping I can independently work around this issue. Thanks for any thoughts. Scott

I have a message on my iMac 24 says Boot Camp does not support 64-bit on this computer. how do i fix is?

I have a late 2009 iMac 24 that i downloaded Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit on. When i tried to download Windows 7 Support, i got a message that says Boot Camp does support 64-bit on this computer. I do have Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit CD. What would be the easy way to fix this. Thanks

There is no OS X 5.0.5. If you can boot to OS X on your computer select About This Mac from the Apple menu. It will display the version you have installed.
I think the message meant you can only install 64-bit Windows 7.

Boot Camp Assistant couldn't partition the drive

Hi everyone,
I recently deleted my windows partition, and wanted to create a new one, however, boot camp assistant told me that I couldn't (I do not know the exact wording). Boot camp assistant said to save my mac drive as an image, reformat my hard drive, and restore the image using disk utility.
SO, I tried to, but something went wrong, because the disc image I have will not mount....
In disk utility, I created an image of Macintosh HD, but I'm thinking I should have created an image of my hard drive "320.07 GB WDC3200..."
Can anyone confirm this?
Also, if anyone knows how I can view the files in my dmg that I created, that would be great.
The message I get with disk utility is: Unable to attach "Macintosh HD.dmg" (No mountable file systems)
So I click okay, and verify the disk, and I get ALOT of incorrect block counts (should be 1001 instead of 1020220) for example..
After checking multi-linked files and such, disk utility tells me to "repair disk" But I cannot mount the image, therefore I cannot repair it. I tried to repaid the DMG itself, but nothing happens.
Any info would be awesome.

converted corrupt DMG to CDR with disk utility. Some data loss occurred, but I got the majority of my files back.

"Save Image As" does not appear on the right click menu of an image I want to save.

Trying to save images as a file to my desktop/laptop. I right click on the image and the menu appears. The entry Save Image As... is not present on the menu. How do I get the menu to show this entry?
I've heard that the problem may have something to do with plug-ins, but I've reinstalled and disabled each of them. It didn't change anything.

Does that happen with all images or only on specific web pages?
Can you post a link if the later applies?
Can you save the images via Tools > Page Info > Media ?
To be sure:
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
You can also try "Reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults" on the [[Safe mode]] start window.

System settings "Keyboard & mouse" Dialogue does not appear

Hi,
I'm using my MacBook Pro with latest version of Mac OS X Leopard (10.5.4).
I bought recently a new Apple Bluetooth Keyboard and a Bluetooth Mighty Mouse. I connected them by using the Wizard in System Settings --> Bluetooth.
Unfortunately the Mouse behavior is a bit too slow from my perspective, so I wanted to speed it up a bit.
Therefore I tried to enter the "Keyboard & Mouse" Menu in "System Settings". Once I click on the Icon for "Keyboard & Mouse" the dialogue box turns to the grey background only without any settings on top of it.
I could go back to "all settings" but the Keyboard & Mouse dialogue doesn't open. Reboots did not help ...

Well,
trackpad works fine. Unfortunately "Keyboard & Mouse" dialogues does not work either once I have no connected external mouse. My USB Logitech mouse as well, but I'd like to move from Trackpad and Logitech mouse to MightyMouse.

Boot camp does not detect windows anymore

hello
i have an iMac, osx Lion, i was using boot camp for windows xp, the cmd button did not work for some time and since i had to access some info on osx and was fed up with pushing over and over again the cmd on start, i went to windows control panel and changed the default opt on startup on osx.
after that the only option remained was osx lion, nothing shows windows partition anymore except the space on disk that is used but cannot be accessed. I would really need to access that, i have lots of stuff there i also use windows on mac for playing a game which sadly does not work on osx (League of legends). I tried using cmd+r, nothing happened. I am very sad and dissapointed, please someone help me.
with best regards,
me

you still have not clarified if you used BCDedit or repair the MBR
Whether you used an NTFS driver - that may be all you need - try the full functional demo Paragon NTFS for OS X, it is great at mounting PC NTFS volumes and cases.
http://www.paragon-software.com/home/ntfs-mac/
There is no such thing as "boot camp" to detect Windows. Poor language. BCA partitions. Do you want to remove XP partition? that is the tool.
Boot Camp control panel in Windows that has a Startup Disk style feature.
But "boot camp" means zilch other than installing a set of drivers and the creatiion of a partition.
Of course Lion Recvovery only works with OS X, not XP. There is a hidden feature to show all partitions and their health but nothing more.
Backup everything and rebuild and restore.

Boot Camp does not have the "remove" option

PLEASE DISREGARD THE QUESTION. IN CASE YOU WONDER BOOT CAMP ASSISTANT APPLICATION OFFERED ME TO REMOVE WINDOWS AFTER THE FILEVAULT DECRYPTION WAS COMPLETED AND SYSTEM REBOOT.
I was installing Windows and while at the expanding files stage I stopped the installation (don't ask me why) and then I waited for a while with the hope that I will be prompted to a "installation has been stopped" or similar screen but it did not happen. Then I had to shut down by holding down the power off button.
Now Windows appears to be installed in the opening screen as well as the Startup Disk application. However when I open the Boot Camp Assistant application, removing Windows option is not available. Instead, installing option is available.
Knowing that one should remove the bootcamp partition via the Boot Camp Assistant application rather than Disk Utility, I am now totally unsure about how I must proceed. (I know internet recovery of the OS is an option, but frankly that's my last resort).

Boot from your Windows installer disc. Reinstall Windows. After it finishes you can decide whether you wish to keep it.

Boot camp does not format the partition for Windows 7

I recently purchased a copy of windows 7. This is the full version. I downloaded the drivers to a usb drive then placed the windows 7 disk in my apple optical drive to partition to disk. After portioning the iMac restarts and gives the a blank screen with _ blinking. It seems as though the windows partition has not been formatted. I cannot enter a dos command such as format or anything else. If I start up the mac again with the windows 7 disk in the optical drive I will be prompted to insert a bootable disk. I understand that after the partitioning takes place that bootcamp should start the installation process. By the way after working on this for quite a long time I decided it might be the copy of windows so I returned it and got another. Same resuts. I hope someone can help.
Thanks

Read the instructions and it is pretty clear that you format to NTFS where you see the BOOTCAMP partition.

Cant change tap to click settings because boot camp does not appear in the drive or task bar.
