HT1899 Installed windows 8 through boot camp ,track pad not working

I installed windows 8 though boot camp , track pad not working

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
After going through the usual process from boot camp, then installed windows and the support drivers... the trackpad rt click did not work. I had to then go download the boot camp again from windows 8 using the url below and ran the set up.exe from the boot camp folder you can download from below. Run it within windows 8.
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.

  • Boot Camp Question .... I just bought a 2013 late model Mac Book Pro Retina and am wondering if it is worth installing windows through boot camp. If I install the windows component in order to run an exe file and its component "Declans Korean Flash Cards"

    I just bought a 2013 late model Mac Book Pro Retina and am wondering if it is worth installing windows through boot camp.
    If I install the windows component in order to run an exe file and its component "Declans Korean Flash Cards"... will it make my mac suseptible to viruses overall due to having a windows component? also will it make my mac slower as well

    If you are only going to use one or two window only programs then I wouldn't waste the space.  Try WinonX it allows you to install exe. Files on Mac without installing windows.

    There is no Lion DVD. Start Boot Camp Assistant and select the menu item to download the Windows Support Software.

  • I just bought a 15" macbook pro, do the cds that come with the mac have the drivers i need to update windows after installing windows using boot camp?

    I just bought a 15" macbook pro, do the cds that come with the mac have the drivers i need to update windows after installing windows using boot camp?

    What DVDs are this ?
    If it is OSX Snow Leopard Installation DVD then yes this disc contains the BootCamp Drivers version 3.x and is needed after the installation of Windows to install the BootCamp Drivers.
    With OSX Lion BootCamp is at version 4.x and the BootCamp Drivers have to be downloaded during use of the BootCamp Assistant in OSX.

  • How should i allocate the right RAM and disk space to windows through boot camp or parallels ?

    i am trying to understand how you need to set things up when trying to run windows from a mac ( using bootcamp / parallels ). i want to understand the implications around RAM.
    i have a mac with 1terra SSD and 16 GB of RAM, and if i want to install windows i need to partition and allocate memory and disk space for windows.
    now i would be running on windows :
    cad 2015
    revit / rhino
    photoshop and some other graphic softwares
    so my questions are:
    how do i decide how much space should be allocated to windows and once i decide that, can i change it later ?
    how do i decide what RAM should be allocated to windows. and can i also change that in the future ?
    now lets say i allocated 8 GB of RAM for winddows using bootcamp, does that mean that every time i log into my mac through OS, it will only be using 8GB of the total RAM ?
    here's my last question : i have my parallels software yet to be installed, just as the windows 8 software. now should i use bootcamp to install windows ? could i install windows using parallels ? if yes which is better to use ?

    1. Windows needs 60GB for good performance, add the needs of the apps you intend to use and I would say no less than 100GB. (it can be changed later but it is not an easy task unless you pay for Camp Tune)
    2. You do not allocate Ram to Windows in Boot Camp. Windows will use all of it (64bit Windows) or 4GB (32bit Windows)
    3. See 2
    4. Use Boot Camp, Parallels will not allow Windows to run at full speed.
    General Notes:
    1. Make a complete backup of your Mac before you start! (do not skip this)
    2. Read the Boot Camp directions, then read them again.

  • Leopard with windows through boot camp

    I downloaded windows xp through boot camp today. The installation instructions say I also need to download leopard to the windows side. Do I really need to install mac ox s leopard to the windows side of my mac? And what does leopard do? Will I bee fine without downloading it?

    Need clarification.
    BootCamp makes a partition on the hard drive which can then accomodate a Windows installation. You have to have a genuine retail XP installation disk in order to install after using BootCamp to make the partition. The Leopard disk has the Apple drivers necessary for Windows to function on Apple hardware properly and is installed when booted from Windows.
    Please read throught these links to see if you missed something.

  • How do you use a dmg file image to download windows through boot camp?

    after reaching my limits in finding the answer to this problem/question i have, i finally decided to post it for everyone to feel my pain
    so i dont know if i would be spanked or something but i downloaded a windows xp sp3 from the internet through torrent
    it was originally an iso file so i changed it to a dmg by using disk utility
    now heres the problem:
    after that, i opened the dmg file image and mounted the virtual drive
    then when i started up the boot camp installation and clicked the "Start Installation" after about fifteen seconds it said that it couldn't find any disk installers!
    AARRGG
    it would be awesome if someone could help me
    and this other question that i did not mention above is:
    when you run windows xp on Parallels, is it slower than when you use windows on a PC or through boot camp?
    thanks and hope you have a nice day

    Hi and welcome to Discussions,
    so i dont know if i would be spanked or something but i downloaded a windows xp sp3 from the internet through torrent
    I don't spank you for that but I also don't comment on it as maybe this post will be deleted soon !

    then when i started up the boot camp installation and clicked the "Start Installation" after about fifteen seconds it said that it couldn't find any disk installers!
    The BootCamp Assistant requires Windows to be on a bootable CD/DVD and will not work with any kind of images, iso or dmg.
    when you run windows xp on Parallels, is it slower than when you use windows on a PC or through boot camp?
    Yes, since it is not running 'natively' , using the real hardware, but it is running on a virtualized environment.
    How much slower really depends on the kind of programs you use in Windows, with typical Business/Office programs you might not even notice any slower performance, but with programs that depend on having access to the 'real' hardware, you will notice the slowness often right down to be un-useable.
    thanks and hope you have a nice day
    You too

  • Installing Windows in Boot Camp - ISO image?!

    Hi all,
    So I've got some Sage accounting software which only works with Windows....I've downloaded Boot Camp and it's asking for the ISO image - what the **** is this?!  I haven't yet bought Windows, I don't want to pay for it until I know I'm buying the right thing.  When I bought Office for my Mac, I downloaded the software and bought the key code to activate it.  If I buy the windows thing below, I won't get an actual disk will I?  Can I still install this via Boot Camp?  I'm so confused and rubbish with computers!
    http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msuk/en_GB/pdp/Windows-8.1-Pro-Student/produ ctID.288533400

    I've just read the reviews and found this -
    No .iso file
    There is no downloadable .iso file and i do not own a computer that runs Windows so i am unable to create a bootable iso myself. I am now left with a £50 OS that is completely useless
    Can anyone direct me to what I should buy?  All I need is the most basic windows so I can install the Sage software :-(

  • Please help! Need to re-install windows under boot camp

    Hi,
    My windows (in boot camp) is not booting but I have many software licenses on there and cannot afford to wipe windows off.
    I am hoping I can re install windows over the top of the current windows without losing my applications/licenses with boot camp but am not confident enough that a: re-installing windows wont mess up the mac osx and b: I cannot even see an option in the boot camp assistant which offer me the option.
    Has anybody esle ever had to re-install windows over an existing installation and managed to do so without losing applications etc?
    Thanks for any help on this.

  • I can not use my mouse or keyboard when I am trying to install windows via boot camp

    Please can you help!
    I can not use my mouse or keyboard when I am trying to install windows via boot camp

    Starting a couple of days ago my mouse and keyboard stopped working suddenly.  
    How are they connected?   In my case they are wireless and their receiver is plugged into my USB hub.  After an update I found the OS inexplicably not recognizing my USB hub and hence any devices which were plugged into it.  My fix was to
    plug the receiver into a different USB port (so I could use the mouse and keyboard; otherwise I would have had to use the OSK via Touch or pen.)  Once I had normal access into my machine again I used Device Manager to remove all USB controller and
    hubs (including hidden ones) and I then shut down, disconnected all USB devices and powered back up, this time using only Touch to get going.  Once the OS had settled down I started plugging stuff back in the way that I wanted it to be recognized. 
    If I didn't have Touch I would have had to have left the wireless receiver plugged in both places which I assume would be OK.  I have no idea why updates have such a catastrophic effect for USB devices.

  • My track pad not working properly

    Hi Guys
    I have been reading loads of forums on trackpads not working due to updates but I only have 10.7.5.
    My track pad was working fine all day then when I get home to open computer again it starts playing up randomly selecting folders and wont click.
    I restarted my computer checked for udates now I cant click and drag but the cursor and tapping and two three fingers is fine.  Any suggestions. 
    The pad can click all the way to the bottom and if I want to use soming in the top bar I can click on it but nowhere else
    Please help

    Hello Vikas,
    It certainly can be inconvenient and frustrating when your trackpad is acting erratically.  I recommend reviewing the following article for an issue like this:
