Multi touch on previous MBP possible throughhardware upgrade?

Does anyone know if its possible to change the topcase/trackpad of aprevious model (late 2007, 2.2GHz), to the new one w multitouch?
Or is the logic board also involved in the multi touch abilities?

sadly, this is not possible.

  • Which mbp models support multi-touch under 10.6?

    I have been googling around looking for an answer to this question but haven't found an authoritative answer, just conjecture.
    I wonder if someone from Apple could post the specific models which will support multi-touch under Snow Leopard. Mine is a MacbookPro 3,1 and I would like to know if it is possible to enable multi touch.

    So this page
    http://www.apple.com/macosx/refinements/enhancements-refinements.html
    which says:
    Multi-Touch gestures in
    older Mac models.
    All Mac notebooks with Multi-Touch trackpads now support three- and four-finger gestures.
    Was a lie? Cause my mbp has what seems like multi-touch (two-finger scrolling)... Or does multi-touch have a more specific definition?

  • Multi-Touch Right click feature on 1st Gen. MBP

    I have a 1,1 MBP, and the new ones are pretty cool, but not awesome enough to convince me to buy a new one. However, the right click feature on the multi-touch pads are amazing. I'm wondering if any one has figured out how to get it to work on an older Pro.
    The only reason why I think that it's possible is that the track-pad of the older mbp does recognize when there are two fingers present and allows you to scroll up down left right etc. Why would it not be coupled with a click to allow for a right click function?
    Anyway, thanks for your time.

    It's true that the first 15" MBPs did not support two-finger taps (although my 1st gen 17" did). I thought that had been fixed in a software update. So, when you look in System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > Trackpad tab, there's no option for "Tap trackpad using two fingers for secondary click"? (Clicking has to be enabled for that, else the option is place 2 fingers on pad and click button). There should be!
    There was a hack released just after the 17" came out to get that functionality onto the 15" MBPs at the time, you can check it out here:
    http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=17685&pid=118022&st=20&
    (scroll down to this file - SecondaryTrackpadClick.zip - for an installer)
    Hope this helps...

  • My iPod touch 3G stuck with iOS 4.2.1 is it possible to upgrade it?

    I have iPod touch 3G 8GB with iOS 4.2.1..can i upgrade it?
    because everytime i check for update..the iTunes says its up-to-date..
    i use this ipod mostly for music but now i wanna play games with it too and most of the games required iOS 4.3 or later..
    please help..
    thx..

    I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.
    Identifying iPod models
    iPod touch (3rd generation)
    iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
    The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.
    A real 3G can go to iOS 5.1.1 and that requires iTunes version 10.5 or later on the computer.

  • Is it possible to adjust the sensitivity of multi touch zoom in Safari 4?

    Hey, everyone.
    I got my Macbook a few weeks ago, and it's my first exposure to OSX. I really enjoy it, and the mouse gestures have really been an incredible user experience (especially the two finger scroll- how absurdly convenient). I also occasionally used the zoom-in|out feature with multi touch, but something's changed. Before, a pinch would bring me one up or down one 'level' in Safari. Now, however (and I don't think I've changed much... upgraded to Safari 4, which come to think of it might have something to do with it) it skips over pretty much 6-7 'levels' of zoom from a pinch. It still works fine in Preview, it's a Safari only problem.
    Is this a known problem with Safari 4?

    I have noticed that problem with this Safari 4 beta, also, hypersensitive touch pad zooming. So it must be a software issue that is out of our hands. Hope the development team gets this fixed soon.

    A better solution is to try a number of better, free alternatives. Consider
    LibreOffice (donation-supported)
    NeoOffice (free)
    OpenOffice (free)
    I use Apple's Pages ($19.99) as well as OpenOffice and have been completely Microsoft - free for over a year now. Life is better without Microsoft.

  • HT3390 OS X 10.9.2 how to use the Multi-Touch trackpad to adjust icon sizes in the Finder like previous OS?

    After I upgrade my OS X 10.6 to 10.9.2, I lost.
    Everyday I search the forum to look for the "feeling" of using Mac OS (migrate from windows to OS X10.6). The OS X 10.6 is just great.
    Now the questions, how to use the multi-touch trackpad to adjust icon size with simple pinch open or close gesture?
    Thank you.

    I might also add, you can run 10.6.8 Server in virtualization, if you need access to Rosetta applications:

  • X61 Tablet sxga multi touch upgrade

    Hi everyone,
    Just picked up a X61 Tablet. I actually have 3, got them all on Ebay for $25.00. I have rebuilt 2 of them with the 3rd unit acting as a donor unit for parts. One unit has the sxga 1400 x 1050 screen, (very nice screen!).
    I have been reading how the digitizer just peels off of the back of the screen and can be placed on to a new screen. i currently have 3 digitizer backings with the following numbers:
    su5e-12s05as-01x
    su5e-12s05as-02x
    su5e-12s05as-04x
    I have been searching to find out if any of these are the multitouch digitizers, but haven't found any information.
    Does anyone know if it is possible to switch any of these backings to get multi touch on the sxga?
    Thanks
    zog

    No, there's no "list" per se.
    My understanding is that -101 screen won't work for the mod, and that you need -100 which was used in X60T.
    There was someone in the UK building these cables and selling them on eBay. No idea on the pricing or quality, though.
    Good luck.

  • I just got an 8GB iPod touch, I'm concerned that I will not have enought gigabytes for future music purchases. Is it possible to upgrade to a 32GB without having to pay $300 for a new iPod?

    I just got an 8GB iPod touch, I'm concerned that I will not have enough gigabytes for future music purchases, Is it possible to upgrade to a 32GB without having to pay $300 for a new iPod?

    Well, obviously you can't walk into the apple store and get them to upgrade your iPod for you for FREE when the 32GB costs at least a 100$ more.
    Just stick with the 8GB, don't download rubbish apps.

  • W510 Multi Touch Display Driver NOT installing properly on a fresh Windows 7 Professional Image.

    Hello everyone, this is my first post here and I will make it as short as possible. First, thanks in advance for taking the time to read this and helping me out in any way possible.
    I have a fairly new W510 machine with a crucial 256GB SSD in it. My SSD crapped out (luckily I had a back up) crucial sent me a new one and I just imaged the new drive a couple of days ago with my backup (The backup is made from the original Lenovo install). However during the imaging some Windows components were damaged for some reason (perhaps due to the previous drive crapping out). The only fix was to go ahead and use the retail windows 7 Pro DVD to "repair" the windows installation by clicking the "upgrade" button after inserting the disk. --As Microsoft suggested this to fix an existing win 7 installation. After I did that EVERYTHING worked flawlessly! I was really happy with the machine, it booted in 30 seconds and what not. However, the multi touch driver for my W510 screen will not stick ... no matter how many times I install it, as soon as I "log out" of the machine, the driver rolls back to a normal pointing device and multi touch is disabled and my on-screen keyboard vanishes. It is the weirdest thing I've ever seen. Here is exactly what I'm doing.
    1 - Log into my Admin user account
    2 - Install this: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?LegacyDocID=MIGR-74908
    3 - Multi Touch works great!
    4 - Logoff or Lock machine or put it to sleep.
    5 - Log back in my admin user account
    6 - Touch screen works but all multi touch features are now disabled (As in no pan/scroll no pinch to zoom no nothing) the touch screen simply works as a simple mouse (point and click).
    7 - Install the driver again (mentioned in step 2) --Again everything works great.
    8 - Repeated 3 to 7 ... Forever …
    I tried completely removing the driver and re-installing it from scratch, I tried getting the raw ISD-V4 (W510's screen driver) directly from Wacom (works too) but again the minute I Logoff or lock that machine, the driver just rolls back or goes back to a normal pointing device. It is really weird that this is happening. The touch screen always worked well and I never had any problems with it. Also in device manager nothing has changed, it seems that everything is in good shape there.
    My W510 specs:
    - Intel Core i7 Extreme X920
    - 16.0 GB DDR3 RAM (G-Skill)
    - 256 GB Crucial M4 SSD
    - No GOBI 2000 Card.
    - Intel WiMax Installed and Enabled.
    - CD-ROM Drive in UltraBay
    - Cam / Fingerprint Reader / Color Sensor / Smartcard Reader / Expansion all installed
    - Windows 7 Professional SP1
    It seems that Windows is somehow defaulting to a different "driver" that is over-riding the multi-touch driver I download and install when I log off. Do I need to install the driver outside my user account? Or is there a method to erase the default drivers or something? I am trying to avoid re-imaging this machine from scratch using the provided Lenovo Windows Partition. I just have too much development software on it, some of which will take me forever to re-install and re-configure.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks!

  • Windows 7 and Multi Touch on IQ790

    Hello
    I am wondering if there is a multi touch driver available for this model.
    As far as I know this model also uses the NextWindow Hardware which is multi touch capable and uses FTIR but as of yet the driver they provide is only for the IQ500, IQ800, and DX9000 series: http://www.nextwindow.com/nextwindow_support/windriver.html
    Does anyone know if a multi touch driver will be provided by them or by HP at some point.
    I tried contacting NextWindow but they have not replied yet.
    Thanks
    Robin

    Mine is the IQ790 though. Is that the same as for the IQ770?
    I have already tried installing the driver on my machine but it just gets to about 99% and then uninstalls itself and says an unexpected error occurred and to try setup again. It does exactly the same thing on another machine without a touch screen so I'm thinking either the driver isn't finding the expected hardware or possibly there is some other problem. Looking through information I found it seems the IQ790 uses an older firmware than the IQ800 so it may be thay if I could upgrade the firmware the driver may work.
    When touching the screen when a second finger is placed on the screen the screen makes a lower pitched beep than the first press with a touble tap generating a higher pitched beep.
    From what I have read the system uses a NextWindow touch screen which supports two fingers (using infrared light and two cameras) at once as opposed to the N-trig hardware which supports more than two (using full FTIR).
    As far as I can tell there is just a lack of drivers and if the proper drivers were provided then in theory it should support multi touch (I may be wrong though!). I'm hoping this is the case and that at some point the drivers will be developed.
    Can anyone confirm this?
    Thanks
    Robin

  • Multi-Touch Trackpad in Windows 7 Pro x64

    Macbook Pro Unibody
    OSX 10.5.8 (Leopard)
    Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
    Bootcamp 2.1
    Trackpad Update 1.1
    Just upgraded my Boot Camp partition from Win XP x32 to Win 7 x64. Or rather, I did a clean install, not an upgrade. I'm running all of the above listed stuff. Muti-Touch isn't working on the tack pad, so I don't have RMB functionality and I'm really missing two finger scrolling.
    Also, looking in the Boot Camp Control Panel, I don't appear to have any trackpad options, even after installing the trackpad update. I just tried installing it again, and I get a message saying that it won't update my drivers for the tackpad because what I'm trying to install isn't better than what I already have. That's all well and good, but the pad still isn't working with multi-touch.
    Any helpful suggestions are appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    I didn't do anything proactive to get it to work, just the things I mentioned above. Installed Boot Camp 2.1, installed the Trackpad 1.1 update, uninstalled Boot Camp 2.1, Installed Boot Camp 3.0. Side scrolling just started working.
    The only thing that's a tad finicky is multi-touch RMB. It works, more or less, but, for example, if I RMB on a bookmark in Firefox to access it's properties (let's say I want to rename it), I have to hold my two fingers down in the click position as as I move the cursor into the conext menu. Otherwise it will launch the bookmarked page. So you can't just two-finger-click on something to evoke a context menu, let go, then use one finger to navigate to the option you want, which is how I would expect it to work.
