Multitouch on track pad not working when running Windows 8 in boot camp

Does anyone know a work around on how to resolve the issue of more than one fingers on the trackpad? For example, I use one finger to click a window then another finger to slide/move the window to a different location on the screen. This does not work when running Windows 8 in Boot Camp latest version. Any suggestion is much appreciated.

very very few gestures are supported in windows

Keyboard backlighting not working when using Windows in Boot Camp

Hi, I'm posting this for a friend with a new Macbook Air. He says that his keyboard backlighting does not work when he is using it for Windows (don't know which, but probably Vista). Any ideas why? Thanks. Gary

Install all the drivers needed when running boot camp - try for example inserting a DVD - then press the eject key - See if it comes out - If it doesn't install all the drivers - try Control Panel - If not try re-installing your version of Windows.

Built in Mic not working on Imac Windows 7 boot camp

I've been doing research and a lot of people seem to have problems with macbook pros mics not working for vista or XP. My current problem is on an Imac running Windows 7 32bit boot camp.

Any help is appreciated if you need any more info let me know. Yes my mac is fully updated with both windows updates and mac updates.

Edit: I'm running an Imac Version 10.6.6 intel core 2 duo, 2.4GHz

Same Here... is there any solution? i have 64 bit windows 7 and still the same problem.. external mics don't work either!

Printing to pdf when running Windows in Boot Camp

I have reluctantly installed Windows 7 on my Macbook Air (1.7 GHz, Core i5, 4 GB, OS 10.8.2). I run a simulation program which produces a report for printout. I would like to have the option of printing to pdf so that I can select pages for printing, change print quality and print additional copies of selected pages from the report.
The software developer advises using PrimoPDF. Is it possible to select this as the default printer in Windows so that the program prints to PrimoPDF automatically?

cute pdf for windows is free and acts as a printer and when printed to creates an pdf file

Macbook Pro running Windows with Boot Camp, wanting to use iMac as second monitor.

What are my options? I just want to use my iMac or TV as a second monitor!!

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:

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.

Hyperlink is not working when running on sun solaris OS

Thanks in advance,

Ok, there are 2 docs i've tried.
A = Doc created originally from MPB Pages with hyperlink
B = Doc created from iPad Pages with hyperlink
A was transfered to iPad Pages using iTune. I emailed A as pdf from iPad to gmail and reopen the file on iPad using Quickoffice / PDF Reader Lite, the link is NOT active, not working. BUT, when i read A using MBP gmail, the link is ACTIVE, i click on the link and it brings me to the correct webpage.
As for B, after the page was created with links on iPad, i emailed B as pdf from iPad to gmail, reopen the file on iPad using Quickoffice / PDF Reader Lite, the link is NOT active, and this time, when i read B using MBP gmail, the link is NOT active as well.
Weird huh? I'm starting to sense that is the problem with iPad Pages. What say you?

Use external monitor w/ Macbook running Windows in Boot Camp?

Within the Mac OS, I close the lid to my Macbook and then hit the spacebar to then use an external 20" monitor. When running Windows within Bootcamp, I shut the lid of the Macbook, but cannot get the external monitor to show an image. How can I get my external monitor to work when using Windows XP within Bootcamp, once I shut the lid to the Macbook?

Hi,
As far as I know, while on Windows XP you have to do it "the microsoft" way! To switch displays, just press Fn + F7 until the image shows at the tv.. tell me if it worked (imho this way better than the "close the lid and touch the external mouse" trick)

Key board and track pad not working

Ok, My situation is similar to some of the other things posted but not quite.
I tried to wake my computer up from sleep the other day and it wouldn't "wake up" so I did a hard shut down and restart. When it restarted the key board and track pad did not work. The caps lock light wouldn't come on or anything. I tried connecting a usb apple keyboard and mouse and those didn't work either.
When switching to windows in bootcamp, everything works. So... I guess that means it's a software thing.
I called Apple support and we did all the possible key combinations and restarts possible and it came down to this: I need to archive install tiger again, then install all of the updates, then install leopard back on (I don't have leopard disk because it was a family pack and im at college). My roomate's macbook (White, bought in aug 2008) install disks which are 10.5.2 do not work with my computer.
My question is: Is this really the correct solution to my problem? Will archiving and installing tiger then leopard affect my files? I haven't backed up using time machine in a month, so is there a way to backup through osx with my keyboard and trackpad not working or can I do a good back up through my windows partition in bootcamp? Any more tips? Thanks, this has never happened before and I guess I'm a little clueless.

Do you have access to another Mac? If so, possibly you could use Firewire Target Disk Mode to access your drive and do a current Time Machine backup:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661
Since you have a family pack of Leopard at home, possibly you could have someone burn a safety copy of it and send it to you so that you can reinstall Leopard. Once you have the OS installed and brought up to date, you could even restore from Time Machine if you had to.
Since we don't know all the steps you took, it's hard for any of us to say if this is the right solution. Evidently the Apple tech came to the conclusion that your software had become corrupted, and this could well be the case, since everything works on the Windows partition. Hence the suggestion to reinstall the OS.
I think you need to get a copy of the Leopard disc so that you can bring your OS completely up to date. I'm not sure of the logistics of doing an Archive and Install with both Tiger and Leopard, especially if much of your work has been done on Leopard. I'm not even sure if it's necessary to reinstall Tiger--it might be better to just reinstall Leopard using Archive and Install.
It's always a good idea to have a good up to date backup like Time Machine before attempting an Archive and Install, because things can go wrong. If they do, you may end up having to do an erase and install. If that happens, you can restore from your Time Machine backup.
I think what you should do is to get a copy of your Leopard disc, and then boot from it and try to do the Archive and Install. Navigate to Disk Utility first and verify both permissions and the disk and repair if necessary. Then proceed with the Archive and Install. Once you're done, run all the updates. Then go to Disk Utility and repair permissions.
Good luck!

TS1248 Track Pad not working correctly after upgrading to OSX10.8

I've the same issue since yeterday night after upgrading to OSX10.8 from OSX10.6. The problem I am having is only right side of the track pad is not working.. Did some one already experience this issue ?
See screen shot
Cheers,
Vivek

In addtion to Altenbach's comments -
I'd recommend trying another VI function to get the power spectrum for
your signal to see if the behavior is the same. You can find some
examples of VIs using the power spectrum functions using the NI Example
Finder.
You can go to LabVIEW's Example Finder by going to Help >> Find Examples.
Then search for FFT. There should be some results that include FFT and
Power Spectrum Units.vi, Power Spectrum Measurement.vi, Basic Spectral Measurements.vi, and Spectrum Measurements.vi. Try opening and
running these examples to see if the VIs are returning the proper
results.

Track pad not working in Windows 7

I have a mac book pro running boot camp and windows 7. I am unable to use my track pad to scroll and right-click when using windows. I have looked at other threads and am in need of a step-by-step explanation for how to fix this problem. Has anyone run into this problem? Any help would be much appreciated.

When you ran Bootcamp Assistant did you download the Windows Support software? Did you then install the Windows Support software from within Windows?
If not, start Bootcamp Assistant and select the option to download the Windows Support software then follow the instructions in the Bootcamp Installation manual to install the Windows Support software.

Track pad only works when really close to iMac

Hi guy,
After lending my mouse to a friend, I needed to use my track pad again for my iMac. However, I found out that the track pad will not connect to my iMac. After messing around with it I realized that the track pad will only connect and pair with my iMac when I place my track pad so close to iMac that its pretty much touching it. I wonder if it is something wrong with the bluetooth hardware inside my iMac? I tried some solutions that I found online but they do not seem to work.

Hello nismobrothers,
The following article contains a number of things that may be helpful in getting you Bluetooth hardware working as expected (if they've not already been attempted).

Bamboo Track Pad not working properly

My Bamboo track pad is not working properly. Plugged it in into my macbook pro via USB like usual today and for some reason when I try to use it and begin using the pen tool in illustrator my pointer only stays in the top left corner of my screen and wont move with my pen. This is the first time I have had this problem with my Bamboo track pad. Not sure why it is doing this. My MBP recognizes the track pad but for some reason it just won't work properly. Not sure if I need to reinstall the driver or what? Any help would be grateful, thanks.

Ralph, thanks for the quick reply. All of the Trackpad preference boxes are checked for "Point & Click" except "Three finger drag." Once "Three finger drag" is checked, this action spawns a simultaneous action in the Trackpad "More Gestures" area that changes the gesture for Mission Control from "three finger swipe up" to "four finger swipe up."
Since I am having this problem on an early 2009 iMac, I decided to check-out my 2013 MBPr for the same behavior. Amazingly, all was working well with the built-in trackpad functionality regarding the "double-tap select and drag" until i checked and then un-checked the "Three finger drag" box (in Trackpad preference > point & click). Now my "double-tap select and drag" is BROKEN on my 2013 MBPR.
