Mouse tapping for old macbook under bootcamp

i know that the new macbooks have no click button at all and is able to have tapping for clicks. i am wondering if this is possible for the older generation macbooks with button? a patch of some sort? thanks

Nope, it's one of the oldest feedback items for Bootcamp...no tap to click yet on the Windows side.

  • Mouse Availability for Old Macs

    Does anyone make a mouse anymore for old macs? I have an old system, with an 7.5.1 OS and a standard keyboard, that still runs fine. I had been using a Kensington "Mouse-in-a-box" Model #642068. But now it needs to be replaced, and I cannot find a compatible mouse. The current Kensington Mouse in a Box for older macs apparently only fits into a deluxe keyboard. Does anyone know where I can buy a compatible mouse?

    1) Thrift stores. Usually there will be a rack or something with a bunch of old mice, most of the time there will be at least one ADB mouse. You may have to try more than one store, or go back from time to time.
    2) eBay. I did a search for "mouse adb" and there were quite a few listings, not expensive, and some were a mouse and keyboard combination.
    3) Here. I bet there are lots of people here who have a spare mouse to share.
    4) Did you try bringing your keyboard into the store to try it with the current ADB mouse?

  • New power adapter for old macbook - It doesn't work!

    Hello!
    My MacBook is 3 years old. My power adapter got broken at the end where you put it into the socket.
    Now I bought a new power adapter. The adapters have changed now. The end where you put it into the computer looks now a little bit different. But they told me in the Apple Store that it will also fit my 3 years old Macbook.
    At home it really fit my Macbook but it didn't charge. Nothing happened, no light. How can that be? Then I combined the two, the end for the socket of the new power adapter and the other part where you put it into the computer of my old power adapter. Now it charges. So is the problem after all the part where you put it into the computer of the new power adapter that looks different now?
    Or what can I try now?
    Thank you for help!
    Sorry for my bad English.

  • I used migration assistant for old MacBook Pro to New MacBook Pro

    Today, after being on the phone to applecare I uses migration assistant to copy files, applications etc from my old macbook pro to my new one using firewire, but only somethings copied for example, none of my photos, or music came over and also a lot of the software is asking for verification and codes etc. When the applecare person asked me to restart the old macbook pro holding down the "t" key, when it restarts all it shows is a firewire icon bouncing around on the screen like a screen saver, giving me no access to the old mac and therefore having to choose the transfer "from a time machine back up or other disk" option instead of the "from another mac" option, could that be the problem? Has anyone else experiamced this?

    I did choose "other disk" cause it wouldn't let me choose the "from another mac" option. I'm thinking this is why not all of my stuff transfered? Also is it strange that the old mac just had the firwire icon bouncing around on the screen the whole time?
    Thanks

  • Purchasing A New Hard Drive For Old Macbook

    Hey everyone!
    I'm new here. I found an old Macbook of mine—a black Macbook about 12 3/4" across. I got it a while ago, and the hard drive stopped working so I just bought a new computer. But now I would like to have two computers, and I would like to use this old Macbook again. I realize that this old Macbook still works; it just needs a new hard drive. So I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction of a nice hard drive that I can slide into this black Macbook of mine. I looked online, and I'm afraid to purchase one without the help of someone; I don't know if the size of the drive will fit into this old Macbook or what. So if anyone can help me out, that would be so great! Thanks guys!

    Here are step by step instructions with pictures on replacing the hard drive in a MacBook with a removable battery. http://creativemac.digitalmedianet.com/articles/viewarticle.jsp?id=45088

  • Finding suitable apps for old Macbook

    Hello!
      I'm interested in finding games that'll work on my older MacBook Pro.  I've the 2.26 Ghz Intel core 2  Duo. I know that some games offered on the App store are too powerful for this platform.  How do I research, without laboriously examining every software title listed in the app store?  Some listing don't list minimum system requirements, anyway. I don't want to pay and download a game app only to find it won't work. Is there some website that lists games with system requirements?
    Thoughts?  Thanks, Vince.

    This doesn't really answer your question, but children find tablets much easier to use than traditional computers. Even children much younger than your daughter are surprisingly adept with them, and they usually don't need to be taught.

  • USB "N" enabler for "Old" MacBooks?

    We bought two MacBooks a long, long, long time ago (June, 2006), and now we find that there's no real point in buying the new Airport Base Station, as the internal Airport card doesn't support 802.11N, and there never will be one that will.
    Does anyone know of a currently selling USB device that will enable a plain old Core Duo MacBook to access the "N" wireless?

    the internal Airport card doesn't support 802.11N, and
    there never will be one that will.
    Dont be so sure. People are reporting that if you install one of the new Mac Pro extreme cards into a Core Duo Macbook Pro, you can enable N. Probably will work on a Macbook too.

  • How to transfer windows files from old macbookpro under bootcamp to new notebook

    Hi all,
    I'm currently using both Mac OS and Windows XP on my macbookpro, and I'm buying a new one. I know how to transfer everything on the Mac OS, but how do I do so for the Windows part. Please advise.
    Thanks in advance!

    Drag and drop copy the iTunes folder to a external hard drive on Windows, then take it to the Mac and use iTunes there to import it.
    If you want to read/write the external drive between Mac's and PC's, right click on the drive and format it exFAT or FAT in Windows, not NTFS.
    Some Mac's can read NTFS, but not write to that format as it's proprietary.
    When you format the drive, all data will be erased on it, so make sure before you do so.

  • Install Windows 8.1 BootCamp drivers on old MacBook (Late 2008)

    Here is how I installed BootCamp drivers for 8.1 on my old MakBook (Late 2008):
    Download Boot Camp 4.0.4033 (Drivers for old MacBook is in this version)
    Install Windows 7, then WIndows 8.1 (There are other threads on how to do that).
    After Windows 8.1 installed, try to install Boot Camp 4.0.4033 again !!! (Reason: Only this version has the drivers for old Mac like mine)
    Download and install InstEd on Windows 8: http://www.instedit.com/download.html. You need this to modify the BootCamp 4 MSI installer to allow you to run it
    Run InstEd, click File > Open, browse to your <BootCamp_4.0.4033>\BootCamp\Drivers\Apple folder and choose BootCamp64.msi.
    Click LaunchCondition on the left-hand list.
    Select all the rows then right click Delete Rows. (Take a look, you will find thses are the messages you saw when you could not run the installer)
    Save the file with a new name (I used bootcamp4.msi) and quit InstEd.
    Now, you can install the BootCamp 4 drivers on your Mac, by click the Setup.exe (Yes, this will also instll TrackPad driver for old Mac)
    The BootCamp 4 service application itself is not compatible with Windows 8.1, (not the drivers). So just download BootCamp 5.1.5621, and install it (Tip: InstEd).
    After restart, click the BootCamp icon in the system tray. Set up TrackPad, Keyboad, etc. (How is this possible? Because the drivers were installed by BootCamp 4.0.4033.)
    Unstall InstEd, if you want.
    Enjoy!

    And I used this method:
    1. Install Windows 8.1
    2. Download BootCamp 5 and unzip to folder BootCamp5 of a USB drive
    3. Start CMD as Administrator
    4. Install BootCamp 5 by entering the following commands
    D: (Assuming the USB drive is assigned to letter D
    CD BootCamp5\BootCamp\Drivers\Apple
    BootCamp.msi
    No need for InstEd might be considered by some as even more elegant as bezodziu's method

  • Matrox DualHead2Go DP Edition on MBP (May 2010) under Bootcamp Windows 7?

    Will the Matrox DualHead2Go DP Edition be recognized and work under "Bootcamped" Windows 7 running on a Macbook Pro (May 2010)?
    On a similar/related note, are there DisplayPort drivers for Windows 7 under Bootcamp to make the miniDP port to be recognized and work under it - even for something else, like the simple miniDP-to-DVI and miniDP-to-VGA adapters (if not for the DualHead2Go)?

    Ok, I think this problem has been resolved, so I'll post the solution in case others with the Samsung Syncmaster 204B have the same problem. The answer was erasing the PRAM by holding Option-Command-P-R at boot up (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379).
    This is what I think happened:
    An update in Windows Update is available for the Syncmaster 204B, but wasn't visible when I first connected the Syncmaster. I wasn't able to see the update until I rebooted with the Syncmaster connected (after several crashes). After seeing the update in Windows Update under 'Optional Updates", called "Samsung - Display- 204T/204Ts/204B, Syncmaster Magic CX20Ts(digital)", I installed it, but bootcamp Windows continued to crash randomly after attaching the Syncmaster via both Mini Display Port-to-DVI and Mini Display Port-to-VGA. Sometimes it crashed after a few minutes, sometimes an hour, the same as before I installed the update.
    I was convinced that it was a compatibility problem between Windows 7 x64, the Syncmaster 204B and the MacBook Pro 13" Mid-2010 hardware since this problem only happened when booting into bootcamp Windows 7 x64 (everything worked fine in Mac OS), but now that doesn't seem to be the case. I think the update fixed the problem, but after installing the update some of the of the original incompatible display settings remained resident in the Mac's PRAM. Erasing the PRAM cleared these settings and allowed the new updated settings to be loaded instead, fixing the crash issue.

  • Old MacBook Protective Case Question

    I have an older White MacBook (before 2009). I bought it in the summer of 2008. I'm trying to shop for a protective case for it as the one I originally bought has broken. I've tried searching around online and haven't been able to find anything. I just keep coming across the Unibody model. I'm just wondering if there's someone out there who knows where I can find a case, particularly the incase brand.
    Thank you.
    Kristen

    This ebay site apparently sells hard cases (absolutely NOT Incase or Speck brand) for 2006-early 2008 MacBooks, shipped from Hong Kong. I haven't purchased one from this vendor so I can't vouch for them.

  • Old MacBook black A1181 upgradequestion.

    Hi,
    I have a MacBook black A1181. Model identifier is macbook1,1. Whats the year of this MacBook? What's the latest osx I can upgrade to? What's the max (or best size) memory I can upgrade to?  Can I install ssd drive on it?
    Thanks.
    Jay

    If you upgrade the HDD to an SSD, that can be a boost in performance at a price.
    However, due to the limited data transfer speed to & from the hard drive bus, a
    super fast rated SSD would not be the correct part. These have a slower 1.5Gbps
    Hard Drive Interface.
    The OWC macsales site has some links, information (video) from specific product
    pages that are free, which could be helpful to upgrade a HDD or an SSD. And of
    course they offer certain items that probably could be purchased there or anywhere.
    Tools, and instructional video; correct parts (I'd hope to get their OWC SSD for one
    of my older portable Apple computers; a 'legacy' one for ATA-IDE PPC G4) and an
    other place for a set of free repair guides for old MacBook, is http://ifixit.com site.
    There are some advantages to Snow Leopard 10.6(.8) in the early MacBook 13
    coreduo, in that is has greater support and later browsers, etc. If my MB1.1 had
    a few hardware repairs done, I'd likely upgrade from Leopard 10.5.8, too. Mine
    is the slower CPU White 1.83GHz coreduo, while the Black is 2.0GHz coreduo.
    Good luck & happy computing!

    I just upgraded to a new MacBook and my wife is inheriting my old MacBook Air. How can I change the her MacBook Air to now be fundamentally hers? That is, so the House Icon under Users folder is her name and not mine? Also the default AppleID for purchase stubbernly remains my own.

    You do not mention it, but I will assume you are running OS 10.9.1.
    Go to: Apple menu / System Preferences / Users & Groups. Click the padlock and enter your password.
    Click the + (plus sign) and set up a new account for your wife. You have to enter a bunch of info. And then create the correct Login Options. Automatic login does not require a password from the selected user.
    When that is done, verify the account works by restarting the computer and login as your wife.
    Make sure that any applications in your own Users folder that will be needed are moved to the Applications folder in your wife's Users folder.
    Now go back to Users and Groups, click the padlock and authenticate, select your own account, and hit the - (minus sign). This step cannot be reversed, so you might want to wait a few days before doing it.
    When your wife is logged in, the App Store will know.
