HP Mini 1000, Windows 7, trackpad not working

Hi all,
I decided to format my Mini this morning to install a legal OEM copy of Win7 Pro. The first thing I noticed was there was no mouse cursor during the installation - not a big deal because I used a USB mouse. However, in Windows, the trackpad was still not recognized with the base level of drivers.
I've discovered that others have used the Synaptics driver for Vista on Win7 RC. Even though I'm using the final version, this doesn't work for me! I see a Synaptics tab in mouse settings, but there is no listed trackpad hardware. There are no relevant Windows updates either. I've also tried the Synaptics driver for WinXP from HP, but the same thing happens.
Has anybody had any experience with this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Windows 8 Trackpad Not Working - Other Solutions Didn't Help

Hello all,
I recently installed Windows 8 Pro 64-bit on my Mid '09 MacBook. I had Windows 7 and 8 installed before and working, so I know it is compatible. Unfortunately, my trackpad does not work at all; No clicking, moving, nothing. I tried other solutions like changing the driver to the USB Input Device, but that will not work. I manually installed the 64-bit drivers from BootCamp v5. Here is a picture of my Device Manager: http://puu.sh/2Abyy
As you can see, I am missing drivers for my Coprocessor and an Unknown Device (Which I believe is my Trackpad, but it could be something else)
Thanks in advance for your help.

The update to boot camp is now available!
Just installed Windows 8.1 Pro to my MacBook Pro, Retina, Mid 2012, OS X 10.8.5: Memory 16GB 1600MHz DDR3
http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1638
Boot Camp Support Software 5.0.5033
This solved the Trackpad Right Clicking issue (not working) as well as tapping.
The wireless and network connectivity issues where resolved as well. The Boot camp support software enabled a boot camp control panel available in the windows 8 system tray and from there you can enable the track pad to tap and use the secondary click.

Trackpad not working; says it's not installed

Last night, I was watching a YouTube video. Kept it open and closed my iBook G4, and today I woke to find my trackpad not working and when I go into System Prefrences, it makes no mention of a trackpad except when I type in "turn off trackpad" and it then says I don't have one installed. What's up??? I can't really open it up because it's not mine (the state gives students laptops).
It stopped working before because it got wet and I eventually dried it out and until now, it's been working fine.
Any tips? I heard it I might have to get OS X reinstalled (which is possible).

NEVERMIND!!! IT'S FIXED!!!
I somehow managed to fix it, and the trackpad is working again!!! I cleaned it real good with these "Electronic Cleaning Wipes" so maybe that's what did it (don't worry, the laptop was off and the battery was removed when I was cleaning it).
SO DON'T WORRY... IT'S WORKING!!!

Windows update does not work after using System recovery disk

I have a Toshiba Satellite c655 with WIndows 7 64 bit Home premium. The hard drive died on it, so I purchased a new hard drive and purchased the appropriate Recovery media from Toshiba. I followed the directions and installed the 3 disks on to the new hard drive. But Windows update does not work I get the following error: Windows update can not currently check for updates, because the service is not running. You may need to restart your PC    No matter what I try, I can not get it to work. And it will not let me install Windows Defender either. Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time on this matter.
Solved!

I get errors saying A problem is preventing the troubleshooter from starting.
That makes two similarities to the following thread. Both Windows Update and Troubleshooters fail to work correctly.

Macbook pro Late 2011 13.3 inch i7 keyboard and trackpad not working bluetooth showing a cross sign and no usb mouse is detected. Almost dead keyboard and mouse. Earlier same problem used to be solved by opening the lower cover and closing it.

My macbook pro 13.3 inch i7 late 2011 edition has previously encountered unresponsive trackpad and keyboard. To solve that, I used to open the back cover and then close it. It has been working fine since that. Yesterday, same thing happened, this time I noticed that bluetooth icon is showing a cross sign across it and keyboard and trackpad were unesponsive. After some time , everything worked fine and bluetooth sign was back to normal. Then , suddenly it went back to the problem. I shut it down by holding the power button. When I booted it again, I could not login because keyboard and trackpad were not working. I attached a HP mouse it didnt work. I opened the back cover disconnected the battery and then connected it again, didnt worked. Since then , I have tried many things and nothing has solved the problem.

@sanjampet
As you suggested I reset the smc, in the first boot nothing worked. In the second boot, it all worked like a charm. I thought that my problem is resolved now. To test it, I shut it down properly. Next morning, I powered it on, all things i.e, keyboard, trackpad, bluetooth etc. worked and I thought that problem has been solved. When I was just going to visit apple forum to reply you, the same problem reappeared. A sawtooth cross over bluetooth icon, keyboard not working, trackpad not working,no usb mouse working which worked well when it was fine. I reset smc so many times again and again but same problem continued. Isn't it a problem of the firmware?
Next time when it will work, I will update its firmware.
My macbook was bought in dec2011 so no warranty now.

Mini-Displayport to DVI adapter not working, but Mini-Displayport to VGA and Thunderbolt work fine

Mini-Displayport to DVI adapter not working, but Mini-Displayport to VGA and Thunderbolt work fine.
This is a brand new MacBook Pro (15-inch, mid-2012) just received. I suspect that this is a hardware problem as:
The mini-displayport to DVI adapter and the external monitor that I am utilizing connect and operate just fine using my older MacBook Pro (mid-2010) with the same OS.
The new MacBook Pro powers the external monitor with a mini-displayport to VGA adapater without issue.
The new MacBook Pro powers an Apple Thunderbolt display without issue.
Both MacBook Pro's are running OSX Lion 10.7.4.
The only combination which does not work is the mini-displayport to DVI adapater used in conjunction with the brand new MacBook Pro (mid-2012).
All adapters and components (mini-displayport adapters) are Apple retail adapter.
I have tried several external monitors, including my Dell U2412m.
When I connect the mini-displayport to DVI adapater to the new MacBook Pro (mid-2012), nothing happens. The external monitor reports "no signal" and attempts to go into sleep mode. Using the "Detect displays" button has no effect, even when used multiple times. Rebooting does not help, nor does resetting the SMC or PRAM.
Any other suggestions before I take it to the Genius Bar?

I turns out that the logic board of my MacBook Pro was faulty (despite being brand new).
I took it to the Apple Store, presented the problem, and one of the Tech's came to the same conclusion that I had -- hardware failure. Phone support was no help in the matter (and even told me that what I was trying to do wasn't a supported option, which is rediculous). However, the Genius Bar did take care of the problem, and my MacBook Pro was back to me with a replaced logic board within a few days.
Hope that htis helps.

Self.close() or window.close() both not working in iOS8.0.2 safari

Both these function(self.close() and window.close()) are not working in safari.
These methods are used to close the tab currently opened.
So, if there is any workaround for this.

if you have programming questions then you should likely post them in the developer forums rather than the normal forums

New Release QuickVPN client 1.4.0.5 for windows 7 does not work????

New release of QuickVPN client version 1.4.0.5 for windows 7 is not working properly.
We can not connect; instead we receive this message:
"Remote Gateway is not responding, do you want to wait?"
Dear Cisco,,,,
Your release is not complete; please correct issue and advise after it has been tested.
Rgds, EM

Hi, first disable this POLSTORE.DLL again in your QuickVPN-Folder. Then start in this folder IPSEC.MSC and than IPSEC.EXE. You should get from IPSEC.EXE the error above. If not, than any other problem you have. Follow all the hints here in this thread.
If you get the same error above, than enable this POLSTORE.DLL again and start the IPSEC.EXE. You get the full info what has been gone. And within the IPSEC-Window for Local Computer you may find this FREESWAN-setting.
B.t.w. before I went this way I did export and import the IPSEC-settings from the XP-machine, as it was hinted some posts earlyer. But the way I have gone, works also with manualy deleting the FREESWAN config. With the IPSEC.EXE it will new generated in any case.
When you start via QuickVPN you may monitor also what happens within this IPSEC for Local Computer. Press F5 to keep it aktual.
From time to time the connection gets only succeeded after the second and more times. I have a very slow UMTS Internet-Access.
Juergen
Adding: These effects, getting not connected, first and during the VPN-Tunnel exists, has not changed since the top-first Version of Quick-VPN.
Dear customer, be patient, don't care about these stupid messages, click again or when the connection allready has succeeded through the VPN-tunnel do what you did like to do.
...... and again, with which configuration-scenario do the guys at Cisco test and develop .....
Fortunately, I never was a Cisco partner, only a poor user ;)

Hi All,
I've had Infinity for a week and Windows updates have not worked since. My permissions are the same and i have Admistrator access.
The error code is 80070005
I have done a system restore which has removed Explorer 9 and am still having the same problem
Can anyone help me?
Thanks

Same as the others my Win7 updates ok.
Hi,
The error code 80070005 usually means that you do not have enough permission to install updates.
First please confirm you have logged on an account with administrative privileges.
I suggest you to reset Windows update components and run Fix it.

Hi there, I have a problem with my iPod Classic (from 2009). Everytime I connect it to my computer (Windows), iTunes does not work anymore. Music is automatically deleted on my iPod. Any suggestions please?

Hi there, I have a problem with my iPod Classic (from 2009). Everytime I connect it to my computer (Windows), iTunes does not work anymore. Music is automatically deleted on my iPod. Any suggestions please?

Thanks, for info, iPod Classic is a slower machine compared the Nano, unfortunately, if you read these discussions, majority of the freezes involved iTunes 10. Although if might be just slow and some impatient user just disconnect the iPod ands cause more problems. ( Yes I also did that but safely by doing a iPod Hard Reset, before disconnecting).
Here is the Apple support article that may help you.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1717
or my usual solution for Windows Users.
Antivirus has a tendency to freeze iTunes sync Operation with iPod Classic, causing a timeout, which corrupt your iPod filesystem, so when iTunes can't read the iPod, it is pointing to this problem. Other causes is when your iPod hardisk is dying, or your battery is dying causing hardisk crashes.
My suggestion.
Connect your iPod to the PC and run chkdsk, to fix any iPod diskerror, then disconnect it, after chkdsk complete.
Disconnect your PC from Internet. (just to make sure no nasties creep into your system while you syncing.
Stop the Antivirus program
Connect your iPod to the PC, using a high speed USB 2.0 port at the back of your PC, do not use any USB Hub.
When iTunes Open up, Restore your iPod please, this is for iTunes to map correctly, to fix the corrupted filesystem.
When Restore complete, eject the iPod and reconnect again.
Sync your ipod, preferably manually Manage in small batches and disconnect after every batch, to check that all is well.
When all sync is complete, and iPod disconnected, start back your Antivirus and connect back the Internet.
Good Luck!

Is it me or?, Window Buttons Do Not Work When Clicked

Is it me or?, Window Buttons Do Not Work When Clicked
What is going on in Snow Leopard.
It seems Window buttons (X, -, +) Do Not Always Work when clicked.
Sometimes window does opens, closes, minimizes and often times it does not.
You have have re click like crazy

What app are you using?
Here's something strange I've noticed in Mail a couple times.
For some reason Mail opens several viewer windows all stacked on top of each other.
So while click the close button does close the window, there's an identical on behind it.
So it almost seems like clicking the close button has done nothing but it really has.
Could this be what your seeing?
