MBP running windows 7 in bootcamp. Magic Track Pad doesn't work properly

Hi,
The trackpad on my MBP works great with my Win7 OS. I can use to fingers to click and scroll etc. For some reason when I use the Magic Track Pad it doesn't allow me to interact the same way. I've tried installing some 3rd party apps that are meant to make Windows work with the device on NON apple hardware but that hasn't helped. Anyone have any clues?
Best,
Jay

When you connect it & open it WMP click on the SYNC tab of the program. Choose the files you want to sync to the computer then hit SYNC . The files should transfer to the computer. (check your settings as to where you want the files to go.)

My track pad doesn't work properly anymore I can't click only tap

My MacBook Pro is acting strange. I can't use my track pad properly. I can only tap and when I click it doesn't work properly. Has anyone else experienced this and what you did to fix it. Thanks

All of a sudden my track pad doesn't work properly and mouse pointer is jumping all over my screen

Help, it feels like someone else is controlling my mouse. This just started happening. My trackpad doesn't work or works sporadically. While typing the pointer is scrolling all over my screen. This is really annoying.

Great tip! Your suggestion to check for a swollen battery in my laptop is working for me. You should get credit for solving the problem.
On my MacBook Pro (2008), my cursor was out-of-control for the past couple of days, like it was having a sissy-fit. In TextEdit, for example, I would enter text, but the text would no longer be entered smoothly, in sync with my typing. Nor would the text appear where I wanted it go. Sometimes, the text I was typing, say in the last line of the document, would jump and insert itself somewhere above in the document. Sometimes, entire lines of text, or entire paragraphs, would get highlighted and then immediately deleted upon my hitting the next keystroke. Not an acceptable way to work!
I tested this odd behavior in Leopard and in Snow Leopard and in Lion, which are all partitioned on my laptop's hard drive. Since I could not isolate the problem to any one version of the Mac OS, I began to fear that my motherboard had gotten compromised and went defective on me.
Your tip proved that it was merely a swollen battery that was the cause of my problems. I was able to confirm this by removing the original battery (now 4 years old) and placing it on a hard surface. It rocked like a see-saw, ever so slightly, about 1/8-inch to 1/4-inch at the far sides of the rocking motion. When I looked at that original, swollen battery from the side, I got further indication that your insight was likely correct, for I could spy the area where the swelling was occurring: it was at an edge in the middle of the battery, and it was separating from the base by about 1/16-inch, just enough to make me wonder why the "springiness" had suddenly disappeared from the central portion of my trackpad.
That change in the touch and the lack of aural feedback (i.e. no "click" sound or feeling) when I depressed the trackpad in the central section, was my first clue that something was wrong. The crazy cursor behavior on-screen was further indication that something was amiss.
I type this reply under A/C power, as the replacement battery, which I had purchased from Other World Computing back in September 2011 for just such an eventuality, is now charging. At first, I was worried that the replacement battery was a dud, for it was stuck on 0% for nearly 10-15 minutes before it began to take a charge. But, 30 minutes of paience has paid off: the replacement battery is now at 15% and getting more powerful by the minute.

Eratic pointer and track pad not not working properly

my pointer is eratic, deleting words as I type and moving around on its on opening items while trying to type. The track pad doesn't even seem to be working

Sometimes a very thorough cleaning of the trackpad restores its functionality.
I have no idea what you mean by the screen jumping around. More details would be helpful.
Ciao.

Did you download and install the Windows Support software? If you did, did you use the Boot Camp Control icon to set up the trackpad how you want it?

Two Finger Scrolling using track pad doesn't work.

You know how you can drag 2 fingers down the track pad to sroll down a page. Well, it doesn't work for me using Vista through Boot Camp. I tried the update, but it wouldn't install.
Is this as good as it gets?

Hypnoguy,
Sorry I haven't used boot camp for a long time my memory is a little fuzzy. Also note I used it with XP and not Vista, but don't use it at the moment anymore.
Here is a list of Supported Macs for 64-bit windows: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1846
As per your trackpad problems after the drives have been installed I would try to install the update again: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3336
Here are the boot camp updates and also may help with errors:
64 bit: http://support.apple.com/downloads/BootCamp_Update_2_1_for_Windows_Vista64
32 bit: http://support.apple.com/downloads/BootCamp_Update_2_1_for_Windows_Vista32
Also I would look in the boot camp system tray tool to see if there are settings related to your function keys.
Sorry I don't know of a function key that changes the startup volume, I only know of the select from the boot camp system tray (Windows)/Startup disk preference pane (Mac) or the hold option during startup. More on that here http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/11892.html
A good place to find a lot of Bootcamp support would be here: http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
Hope that helps,

Track pad doesn't work

I initially had my windows XP up and running. I sent my computer to apple to fix something.
When it came back and I boot windows the trackpad won't work and even if I try to uninstall and reinstall it doesn't work.
Any ideas?

If you are anywhere near an Apple Store, your best bet is to make an appointment with the genius bar. It's free, even if your warranty is expired.
In under a minute the genius will know whether the trackpad is working correctly, and in two minutes the genius will have the settings and anything else straightened out and will be demonstrating how to pinch and twist your pictures into the shape you want.
This is one of those problems that does not lend itself to a forum solution.

Clicking on track pad doesn't work?

Clicking on my track pad only works if it's in the lower left corner. Tap to click function works ok, but it's very frustrating when I try to double-click something. I'm on a less than one-year-old MacBook Pro with OS 10.6.7. Has anyone else had a problem like this? Know of a solution?

I am having the same issue with my trackpad. I cannot double click. Just started today and my macbook is only about two months old. What gives?

Windows 10 IDT High Definition Audio Codec doesn't work properly on Hp Envy 20d001-la after update

I'm using a Windows 10 just updated pc, Hp Envy 20 d001la, and I'm having problems with my speakers, they work with IDT High Definition Audio Codec driver. It has beatsAudio available, but the bass don't sound the right way, I can barely hear it. It has a low quality sound... the worst quality. This problem isn't new for me, when upgraded to Windows 8.1, also the problem apeared, when the driver released with a new version, specificly for Windows 8.1, but how did I solve it? I only installed the Original Audio Controller found on Hp Support & drivers page (It was designed for work on Windows 8 64 bits). So, I know Windows 10 is newer than ever, and sure of some bugs or little corrections after updating. But when I try to install the Windows 8 Original controller to get the extreme sound quality again, it can't be installed. The problem says: "Operating system doesn't has the requirements" The new drivers have low sound quality (driver Windows 8.1 & Windows 10 versions) If I could install the Windows 8 version driver, I'm sure the sound quality returns. Thanks in advance.

Hi! Thanks a lot, I've tried the solution you've given me, (extracted the setup file with winrar on a folder and search for the driver as you said) but an error message shows: "There are not compatible drivers on the selected folder, try with one for Windows x64" It happens with both drivers I have, W8 & W8.1 versions. And also I have other problem, I didn't connect the headphones when trying solving the problem, and when I connected them, a surprise: The speakers didn't shutdown, they continue playing sounds and the headphones and speakers were playing sound at the same time. I've checked for the internal connector and The connector is clean. Then I tried to install W8.0 IDT setup manually clicking on the files extracted, the process finished succesfully, and system restarted, the sound quality came again, but still when I connect the headphones, the speakers don't shutdown and sometimes music stops. The problem is with all versions of driver I tried, the W10 got by Windows update, the found on Device Manager, the W8 , W8.1installed manually, But not worked.I hope in a future upade the problem could be solved, because I listen to music always only on headphones to avoid disturb others. Thanks, I'm trying a new method if is kanown for you. Thanks a lot.

Non-Scrolling, Non-Zooming Magic Track Pad???

Hi guys!
Any ideas here? I love the Magic Track Pad when its working, but now I seem to have lost the ability to two-finger scroll and zoom. I've probably done something wrong setting-wise to get back to where I was.
Help appreciated for a happy Mac user in sunny Western Australia!

I thought the whole point of an iPad was touching the screen.......

Track pad used to work...not anymore

I have a mbp original and after installing xp the track pad used to work great but after I tried to upgrade the driver it stopped working. I reinstalled the leopard part then updated boot camp but it still dosent work, Is there a solution to this issue? Now in order for me to use xp I have to use a mouse and thats a pain,any suggestions would be appreciated, Thanks

Go to Device Manager and uninstall the Track pad driver.It should be listed under "Human Interface Devices". Then you should restart and install the Driver from the Bootcamp CD (The older on).
Sometimes just overwriting of Driver doesn't work so always remember : For best possible result, uninstall the old driver and only then Install the new one.
Hope that helps.

My mac mini (2011) is only downloading at 100mbps running Mountain Lion, but 200 mbps when running Windows 7 on bootcamp. Why?

I've upgraded my internet to a shaw 250 Mbps plan. Using their speed test I'm getting over 200 Mbps on this mini, running windows 7 on bootcamp.
When running moutain lion, I'm getting exacty 100 mbps. solid, looks like it's being limited.
Network utility app shows link speed of 1Gbit/s zero errors or collisions.
Network is cable modem wired into airport extreme (5th generation), then wired to the mini; all cables cat6.
Is there something in Mountain Lion that limits the ethernet bandwidth to 100 Mbps?
And how do I turn it off so I can get the 200+ the hardware can clearly do?
Thanks

oh, btw.
I get exactly the same max download speed of 100 (102.?) Mbit/s using wireless; which shows as a 450 Mbit/s link speed.
So I seem to have the same limit to all my network connections.
