HT1338 magic trackpad windows bootcamp

Hi again,
Forgive if this has been asked prior,
but
I got Apple Magic Trackpad and it obviously works on Mac side
but I have Windows on bootcamp partition and I have not
been able to connect it via bluetooth in Windows 8 not that
that is important, but just wanted that flexibility.
Well that is all. I am sorry if this is like trying to reinvent the wheel
but I thought it would connect a lot easier as Apple does seem
to be considerate of other operating systems.
But for now, the Logitech C651? trackpad has to do as it
seems to connect on both sides (though a bit of a struggle and
inconsistency under Windows as I got the Logitech trackpad
for Mac).

I got the Apple Magic Trackpad to work on both sides
on the iMac so never mind this.
well Mac and Windows 7 on iMac...
I was just initially trying to pair this trackpad on Macbook
and Windows 8 so who knows if Windows 8 has a
compatibility issue even after running the Wireless Trackpad 64 bit drivers
that bootcamp supplies.
I am set unless I upgrade the iMac's Window 7 partition to Windows 8 and
who knows what will happen.
Thanks.

Magic Trackpad with Bootcamp?

Hi, I have been reading on the support page, that one need Boot Camp 3.1.35 to enable the Magic Trackpad support on a Windows partition. Now 3.1.35 needs obviously 3.1 to be installed. When I try to install 3.1 the installer says I need Boot Camp 3.0... Now the problem starts. There is no Boot Camp 3.0 I can find to download. When running the Mac I have Boot Camp 3.0.1 displayed. So I am confused what this all means? Does somebody know what I need to do to get those Boot Camp versions installed?
Thanks.

I installed all the various updates last night--just curious, did I miss it or is there no way to reconfigure the magic trackpad under windows (I'm running XP SP3) in bootcamp?
I'm also finding that the sensitivity of taps on the trackpad is pretty poor running under windows, when compared to running under Mac OS X. Not that I'm stunned by that revelation. I'm just curious if others are finding the same thing.
The other "stupid" question I have--the manual says the magic trackpad goes to sleep after inactivity or you can turn it off. There does not seem to be any indication that the trackpad is on or off (since once it is paired the green light goes off).
So the trackpad is "on". Do you just push the on/off button and assume it shut down?

What gestures are available on Magic Trackpad with bootcamp

I bought the new Magic Trackpad, installed the Bootcamp drivers and found that only limited actions are possible, in fact the actions available are the same those on the trackpad pad on my laptop. Are the additional functions only available when in OSX?

Hi,
have a look at this Apple article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4273 on what gestures are avaiable for the various WIndows versions.

Magic Trackpad & Windows 8

I received a new laptop not even 3 weeks ago and it has Windows 8 and bluetooth 4.0 in it. I am looking around for a bigger trackpad and remembered that Apple makes the Magic Trackpad. I'm wondering if it would work and/or if drivers are availlable. If not i would be going for logitech's T650 one
Can the M TrPad work with my pc??
Just an fyi, it's an acer v3-571-6850

Has anyone figured a way to use the Magic Trackpad with Windows 7 on a partitioned disc using Bootcamp?

Has anyone figured a way to use the magic trackpad with Windows 7 on a partitioned disc using Bootcamp?

Yes. After Windows/Bootcamp discovers your bluetooth device (Magic Trackpad or Mouse, be sure to make it discoverable), right click, with your wired mouse, of course, on the icon and select Properties.
Then check the mouse drivers box and your device should work. (I located this solution on another thread)
It works for both the Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad.
Must admit, the solution was not intuitive within the Windows environment. But we all must remember. It IS Windows, after all.
Another thing. Keep in mind that the gestures on these devices that work just dandy in OSX do not carry over into Windows.
It's Windows.

Magic TrackPad wont connect in bootcamp 4. Windows asks for a pairing pin

I am running bootcamp 4 and using a 32 bit version of Windows 7. Every time I try to connect the Magic Trackpad it loads the the drivers but when I go to use the pad it says a bluetooth device is trying to connect and asks for a pairing pin. Is there an updated driver for BootCamp 4?. Magic Trackpad connected and worked flawlessly (as usual) in Mac OS X Maverick.

UPDATE: I installed Vista on Bootcamp and tried the Magic TrackPad driver. It has the same problem. I can get the device to work as advertised on the initial install and reboots in the same OS. But when you switch from Windows to Mac OS X (or vice-versa) the device will not work: in Windows is listed as paired and connected, but does not work. In Mac OS X, it will not connect automatically and does not work. If you manually try to connect the Bluetooth icon briefly shows connected and then disconnects.
I sent a bug report to Apple as a "developer" and they state that it is a known issue. I guess we simply wait for them to get around fixing the drivers at some point in the distant future. Clearly they ignore these forums altogether. The experience has left me disappointed with Apple and their slow and inadequate response to problems. I would rather they devote some resources to getting their existing products to work instead of wasting resources to add iPhone-style displays to Mac OS X. If I wanted buggy drivers and no support I should have just stayed with Windows.

I am having trouble getting my Blutooth Magic Trackpad to work in windows 7 running through a bootcamp partition on my 2008 MacPro. Any ideas?

I installed the apple drivers and it works though unlike
in osx where it works from the start in windows I need to click it once before it begin to work

HT202731 How do I find pairing code for Magic trackpad. Running bootcamp to enable windows and asking for pairing code...

I'm running Bootcamp on my iMAC. It finds the magic trackpad but asks for pairing code. I've looked on the trackpad and in the paperwork that comes in box - no pairing code. How do I find this so that I can use the device with my iMAC. Help appreciated. Many thanks

After pairing in Bootcamp, magic trackpad does not work

after pairing in Bootcamp, magic trackpad a) does not control cursor and b) does not persist after closing Bluetooth devides dialog.
Summary of Problem:
Magic Trackpad is found and paired, but does not control the mouse.
When you shut the Bluetooth devices and reopen (or reboot and reopen), the device is not listed.
Detials of problem:
Bootcamp 3.1 (i cannot find a later one) Windows XP all updates, All Apple Software Updates (to bootcamp and mac os x) installed, Magic Trackpad driver download and installed.
Control Panel, Bluetooth Devices, Add - it detectes the magic track pad (ie track pad blinking, click add) everytime
- It asks about a pass code, I have tried it without a pass code and with automatically Generate Passcode; does this setting matter?
In bluetooth devides, the track pad shows with "Auto Generated passkey" when that is the option selected
Found new hardware comes up, Apple Wireless Trackpad, everything looks fine.
- In Bluetooth Devices, it shows the trackpad wiht "no passkey", even when I told it to automatically generate one.
The track pad does not control the cursor.
Close Bluetooth Devices and reopen it, or reboot and reopen Bluetooth devices, and the track pad is gone.
Rebooting does not change the outcome of above.
I have gone to device manager and tried to update the two (apple & microsoft) Bluetooth drivers with the update button, it says I have the most current.
I do not see how to tell if the Magic Trackpad driver is installed, so I tried installing it again. It does appear to be listed under HID in device manager.
I have done a lot of googling, wasted a lot of time, if I cannot get it to work, I will return it to the apple store.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
bob

Bob, cannot help directly but I am having a similar problem on my MacBook Pro with Windows 7 Pro. Pretty much the same symptoms except my trackpad is not always recognized - it seems I have to click it to get Bluetooth to see it. Windows claims to have seen it OK on one occasion and installed the drivers, asked for a reboot etc. but the TrackPad still does not respond.
Works OK on the Mac side although it is not recognized as a separate Bluetooth trackpad which can be configured differently from the built-in. I wonder if this might be a clue?
I have installed the patch and tried a bunch of other things. Seems like Apple has some work to do sorting out the bugs on both the Mac and Windows side with this device. Pity because its an excellent piece of kit otherwise!

Unable to install magic trackpad driver on Windows 7 on MBP

I recently purchased a Magic Trackpad and it's working perfectly on the Mac side of my MBP. However, I downloaded the 32-bit driver for my Winfows 7 Bootcamp side and every time I try to run the driver I receive the following error:
"Windows Installer
The installed product does not match the installation source(s). Until a matching source is provided or the installed product and source are synchronized, this action cannot be performed."
It then tries to point me to the following source "C:\ProgramData\Apple\Installer Cache\Boot Camp 3.0.0\". If I press OK it tells me that the file there is not valid. I also tried pointing it to the OSX install disc in my optical drive and it doesn't work. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!

Hi Stefan, I checked the version on my Boot Camp drivers and they are in fact 3.1. Checking a little further I seem to have found two issues:
1. It seems that it's not only this, but any type of update I try to do it tries to find the drivers in folder 3.0.0.
2. The Boot Camp install I'm asking help with is actually one I migrated to my new MBP using winclone. I moved from a 2009 2.4GHz MBP to a 2.66GHz MBP. I tried to update the old MBP's driver and it does so successfully, so this leads me to believe that the winclone install didn't go 100% perfectly. I will try to reformat my Boot Camp partition, reinstall Windows 7 and then try to update to see if this resolves the issue.
Thanks for your help and I'll post back with my results in a couple of days.

Pair Magic Mouse With Both OS X and Windows (BootCamp)

Hi everyone!
So the other day I setup bootcamp on my mac. I can now access windows but when I do, I have to first boot up OS X, disconnect my magic mouse then switch back to windows to pair it again. Is this supposed to happen because its really annoying.
Thanks!

FFor anyone with this issue I have found a solution here: http://www.tonymacx86.com/general-help/72201-dual-booting-windows-7-mac-mountain -lion-both-magic-trackpad-magic-mouse-bluetooth-setup.html

Updating BootCamp for use with Magic Trackpad

I am getting an error message when I try to update from BootCamp 3.0 to 3.1 which I need to be able to run the Magic TrackPad. I am running WinXP and have tried to run the BC3.1 32 bit update but get a message that the "Apple Bootcamp Installer has encountered a problem and needs to close." I have tried downloading and running the update as well as running it off the Support site. The Trackpad works but I can't right click and have no gestures.

Note I do not own magic jack but it looks like a standard ATA voip adapter.
How is the TC setup in the network? ie is it bridged or main router.. Is there another router?
Being a non-apple product you will do better sticking with SMB compliant network names.. ie short no special characters no spaces.. Apple by default break these rules.
Also you may have port forwarding issues.. apple do not use upnp most windows and non-apple products will expect and so you might have to open the required ports not just for sip but the actual call RDP packets.
Even if you do open ports apple routers often break port forwarding. You might find it is easier to use a modem router or alternative standard router and bridge the TC.
Look at posts that deal with issues which will be common with airport extreme.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3662236?start=0&tstart=0
I would say it is not working because you have not forwarded the required ports.. or it just doesn't like Apple routers.. plugged into the Mac, the networking is handled by the Mac.. and is able to auto open ports.. non-apple products cannot generally do that.

Magic Trackpad - Pairing Problems Switching Between OS X & Windows

My system has Mac OS 10.6.4 (with Magic Trackpad update 1.0 installed) and Windows 7 (with Bootcamp 3.1 plus the "Magic Trackpad/27" Cinema Display" update). The Trackpad works correctly after setup in OS X with all functions working even after reboots. The Trackpad also works correctly after setup in Windows 7 (with passkey 0000) and continues to work correctly with the supported features with multiple reboots into Windows 7.
The problem is that after using Windows, when I reboot to OS X the Trackpad will not function. It shows as paired but disconnected and will not stay connected. If I un-pair and then re-pair it will work. And the same thing happen when I switch from OS X to Windows - it shows as paired but unconnected and the only way to get it to work is to un-pair and then re-pair.
I had a similar sort of problem with the Magic Mouse and found that if I un-pair in OS X, pair in Windows, and then pair in OS X it will work with both. But the Trackpad won't work this way, even after trying this. I think the problem is that the Trackpad won't allow paring with two different systems (for the obvious reason) but isn't designed to accommodate the Bootcamp scenario.
I really like the Magic Trackpad and would like to be able to use it on those rare occasions when I need to use Windows without the hassle of reinstalling it each time I boot a different OS. Any solution to this problem?

UPDATE: I installed Vista on Bootcamp and tried the Magic TrackPad driver. It has the same problem. I can get the device to work as advertised on the initial install and reboots in the same OS. But when you switch from Windows to Mac OS X (or vice-versa) the device will not work: in Windows is listed as paired and connected, but does not work.

Magic Trackpad issue with Windows 7 Boot Camp

Hi, I just cannot get the the magic trackpad to work with bootcamp in indows 7.
1) is it compatible?
2) I have already updated bootcamp to the latest version, installed driver software. It detected the trackpad once and worked but than on reboot just does not work, and also now cannot detect it. Works fine in Mac OSX. Any help is appreciated.

I came across this problem today after buying a Magic Trackpad to replace my dying macbook laptop pad - all of the symptoms above. First I added a USB mac mouse, which at least gave me some control! Then I got a lucky break when the laptop discovered the Trackpad (it did it 1/4 times roughly), I quickly double clicked the icon for the 'wireless mouse' it thought the device was. This kicked off Windows 7 retrieving a driver from the web for the actual device (Magic Trackpad), just the same as the process for adding a Mac USB mouse to the Windows environment. I now have it working fine - although it seems I still have the same problem that inspired me to buy the new pad (left click in Minecraft just keeps going on its own, sometimes stoppable with a second click but destructive in the meantime ;-). May be a Minecraft problem, everything else works fine. Now I have a mouse, a half working pad on the laptop, and a working Magic Trackpad. Recipe for some hardware confusion.
