Microsoft Arch Mouse disables track pad

Windows 7 is soooo stupid it can't recognize multi finger gestures, so I had to plug my mouse in. Bad idea. It's so stupid ( of course only Microsoft could make a product this horrible) it needs a driver of it's own and whenever I unplug the USB it disables my track pad. I went into bootcamp settings and the track pad tab is gone, in control panel it says every things fine. How do I get the track pad back?!
Oh, and I'm not asking this on micro craps site because the morons there like to give false info all the time

All set.
Thanks anyways.

    System Preferences > Mouse -- deselect "Scroll direction: natural." Do the same for the trackpad > Scroll & Zoom preference.

  • My  message bar keeps opening without my hitting the icon. It does it when I move the mouse or track pad to the left  top corner of the screen. Any fix for this?

    The Message bar opens without clicking on its icon. Usually when I bring the curser to the top left of the screen. Both with mouse and track pad.

    Hi there kellyaames,
    It sounds like you may have Hot Corners enable. You can change this setting in System Preferences > Mission Control. Take a look at the article below for more information.

  • Disable track pad/mouse?

    I have one of the first gen macbooks. It has probably 100K miles plus on it. Needless to say it's seen better days. The track pad/enter bar is not working properly. It works fine with an external mouse. i would like to disable the track pad and the enter pad. Is there a way to do this with preferences?
    Thanx

    In Universal Access preferences click on the Mouse and Trackpad tab. There are a couple of checkboxes near the bottom to disable the trackpad when using a mouse. If you don't find it there then the option should be either in Mouse or Trackpad preferences.

  • Spotlight starts indexing after every restart and there is a scrolling delay with both mouse and track pad.

    I had to restart my MBP three time, two after it crashed. Every time Spotlight starts to index the content on my Mac
    which takes two hour. Then there is a delay when I start scrolling, both with the mouse and with the track pad.
    I also notised that after changing the icons with Candybar they still appear unchanged in Launchpad, which makes
    it confusing. Launchpad isn't consitent when putting the apps in aphabetic order, but jumble up some of the apps.
    i don't get back the wab sites after restart as i was to believe I would.
    As Jobs sez; And more thing.
    Well one more might OK, there are more bugs then that, but I to tired to tell them all.
    I have never found so many bug in such a short time (only in two hours with Lion now) with any other OS and I have worked with Macs since -91.
    God help us.

    Hi, me again, more data.
    I have found that some plugins are accessing the internet without my permission.
    And when I went into the plug in menu via the addons options through the Tool Menu option, I found the plug ins there.
    BUT I never installed those plugins, and now they are there and they are accessing the Internet. Here are two images to show the plug ins disabled and yet another image showing them still accessing the Internet even when disabled.
    I then removed them from the system (I did back them up first, just in case).

  • Is there a way to disable track pad from moving faders?

    The track pad is great for mousing around, zooming in, zooming out. 
    It's not great for making destructive mix commands. 
    Actually ******* horrible for it.
    Any way to work around this without like, buying an external mouse?

    Hi Everyone,
    To give an update on the situation: I disabled the Yahoo account and it seems to make a VERY NOTICEABLE difference in battery life - prior to this my battery would drain quite rapidly but since disabling it it's only lost about 15-20% over the past 24 hours (and thats with using the video/music/internet functions for about an hour and a half).. Prior to this it would have been close to drained under the same circumstances.
    Also, to confirm, the "Your last transaction cost 0.00" messages only appear when accessing the internet manually now. before they appeared every 10-15 minutes with no interaction from myself at all (while it was sitting idle, while watching videos, while charging, while in my pocket, etc..)
    I do have it set to only check Manually but Yahoo would seem to check on it's own even though this setting is checked (I'm guessing it has to do with the Push setting). Aside from draining the battery, it was quite annoying having 30 or so "Your transaction cost $0.00" messages to click through whenever I turned on the phone.
    I did have the screen set to shut off after 1 min, but the 'your transaction cost..' messages would first wake the iphone up, the screen would stay bright for about 30 seconds, dim for about 30 seconds, then turn on bright again for 1 minute until it shut off. I'm guessing the screen (being on for about 10-15 minutes per hour due to this) and the fact that yahoo accesses the internet on such a frequent basis are what cut the battery life down.
    I really wish I could make Yahoo work more like Gmail and have it manually search for new mail

  • Disable track pad with SL

    I just upgraded to snow leopard. Before the upgrade, I could disable the track pad when I used my mouse. This option doesn't exist in system preferences.
    Its annoying that every time I touch the pad (even after ticking the box for ignoring accidental) it respond when I don't want it on at all.
    Any one know what to do to disable?

    it still exists but for some reason it was moved to universal access system preferences.

  • Magic Mouse and Track Pad won't scroll after after waking

    I installed Lion and a TrackPad on my 27" iMac at the same time. When I wake my Mac up after sleeping for a period of time, the scrolling does not work on either the TrackPad or the Magic Mouse. The pointer works fine on both, however. I have to restart in order for things to work again as they should.
    Apple Care has so far been unable to help. Has anybody else experienced this? I'm ready to return the track pad and/or uninstall Lion. This is turning into a Windows experience. Not typical for Apple.

    Agreed. My bluetooth keyboard works fine with iMac and Lion. Not so for my magic mouse. It will work for a while and then clicking and scrolling become unresponsive. Sometimes a complete shutdown and start up will solve the problem for a little while (not always), but then mouse becomes unresponsive again.
    Speaking of unresponsive, that is Apple on this subject. Many, many complaints, but no action.
    I'm using a 2010 iMac, all updates are installed. Batteries are charged. Reset PRAM. Checked settings in System Preferences. Did everything others have suggested. No help.
    The magic mouse was fine with Leopard. It was even fine with Lion, until the Lion update and then the problems began.
    I'm back to using my USB mouse. I'll see if Apple Store will accept return of magic mouse. Doubt it.

  • How to initiate right click functions of a pc mouse on track pad on MBP

    I use the Microsoft Outlook Web App for work.
    When Im viewing the website from work on a desktop PC I scroll down the left margin to "Calendar" right click the mouse and am given the option to create a new calendar.
    How  do I do  the same thing from my Macbook pro. And if there is no such thing as being able to "right click" from mbp to get a pop up to appear that will allow me to create a new calendar --- how do I actually create a new calendar using this "Outlook" thing by Microsoft on my macbook pro.
    thanks in advance.

    All set.
    Thanks anyways.

  • Disable track pad rotate??

    Is it possible to disable the tackpad two finger "rotate?" I was told in the Apple store that I could slow it down by changing the preferences for scrolling, but I don't want to slow down scrolling. I find the two finger twist unprecise and it screws up a lot of my image work, especially when I hadn't planned to rotate in the first place! Is there an update software fix in the works? I'm desparate. I have been using Macs ever since the 2E, but never have found such an anomaly. Other than the rotate snafu, my Macbook Pro is the most wonderful Mac I have ever owned.

    At the moment I am not on my MBP I am using a PowerBook G4 with 10.4.11 so I can't be as precise from memory. Did you go into the System Preferences >> Keyboard & Mouse/Trackpad settings? I know you can disable some of the trackpad settings.

  • My right click is not working. the context menu does not come up and i can no longer drag files/folders. I have checked the mouse and track pad in system preferences and the correct boxes are all checked (with a support member). Please can you help

    My right click is not working and producing the context menu or ability to drag files and folders. I just spoke with a phone support person and we checked that all the mouse/trackpad options for right click were correct and checked.
    Please can you help with this.
    It has only just happened in the last few days.
    Many thanks

    You might want to update your profile so that we can see what model iMac you have and what version of OSX you're running.
    For this question, it might help to know if you're dealing with a trackpad, Magic Mouse, or something else?
    (Until your issue's resolved, you can Control-Left Click to get the right click functionality).

  • Mac OS X not picking up keyboard, mouse or track pad

    Im having trouble with all 3, first it was my keyboard, went to try and pair it up, but keep saying no key board found, battery life is at 68% then my mouse stopped working, after coming on here, and someone suggesting that maybe a system update might fix it, so I done that, after the mac restart my trackpad is not working grrrrrrr frustrating, please help?????

    Did you try both USB ports?
    Try it with just the mouse or just the keyboard. One or the other may be bad.
    If you have some other USB device, like a printer or USB hub, try it with something other than the keyboard or mouse plugged in.
    If any device causes this problem, the USB ports may be faulty.
    You can try resetting the PMU (power management)
    http://mrjcd.com/junk/PMU.jpg
    and resetting PRAM

    Also, check the PRAM battery to make sure it is not dead or weak. It looks like this one

  • Mac Book Pro - Mouse and Track Pad Freeze

    I left my mac book pro asleep for a few hours, everything had been working fine. When I returned it would not wake up so I restarted it.
    It makes the chime and comes to the password page as per normal. Then I cannot move the mouse and the keyboard does not work. Also impossible to select Caps lock (light does not come on)
    Things I have tried:
    PRAM
    Safe Start Up Mode
    Attaching external keyboard and mouse
    Restarting holding down ctrl, apple and power key
    No luck with any of the above.
    Any ideas.
    Thanks in advance!

    It's not completely clear if you are using an external USB mouse. Some people use the term "mouse" for the clicker bar so I want to make sure I understand how you are set up instead of guessing.
    If you are not using an external mouse, remove the battery and inspect it for bulging or other deformation. That can put upward pressure on the underside of the trackpad assembly and take it down, often taking the built-in keyboard with it.
