Tap to Click on Windows 7

Hello,
I'm searching for a way to get the Tap to Click function works under 7 with my Magic Mouse. On OSX, I achieved this with MagicPrefs, but on Windows, I haven't found a way to do it yet.
The click noise is boring me, makes me wanting to throw my mouse away, while I'm satisfied of it under OSX. I'm just searching for a way to not hear it while working under Windows.
Any idea?

As I understand your concern, you are unable to disable tapping.
Make sure the touchpad driver is installed and the version for the driver is 13.2.7.3
You can download the touchpad driver from the mentioned below web link.
http://consumersupport.lenovo.com/us/en/DriversDownloads/drivers_show_1959.html
After this go to Control Panel, open Mouse category then Synaptic/Alps and then Touchpad Settings and check for "Tapping" option.
Also, like to share with you that if you want to disable the complete touchpad then you can do it with Fn+F8 key.

Tap to Click in Windows 7

Instead of clicking on the bottom of the trackpad, how can I change the setting so that I can tap on the trackpad to act as double click. I'm currently using Windows 7 in my Mac.

My Windows 7 on Macbook Pro with Snow Leopard, does not have touch control at all on trackpad except to move the mouse. Only way to click is hard depression of trackpad and concerned that may damage the trackpad. Where is the trackpad Boot camp control panel. I do not see when I open OSX preferences, nor do I see when I open control panels when Windows 7 Home Edition is running. John

Hi Rhondavas77,
To enable/disable Just-In-Time debugging
On the Tools menu, click Options.
In the Options dialog box, select the Debugging folder.
In the Debugging folder, select the Just-In-Time page.
In the Enable Just-In-Time debugging of these types of code box, select or clear the relevant program types:
Managed, Native, or Script.
To disable Just-In-Time debugging, once it has been enabled, you must be running with Administrator privileges. Enabling Just-In-Time debugging sets a registry key, and Administrator privileges are required to change that key.
Click OK.

How to enable tap to click in a login window?

Hello,
In my MacOS I have setup three users for my family. I've been to System Preferences, and I have setup tap to click functionality for all of us three using the TrackPad preference utility. It works for all of us three when we login.
To my disappointment, I can't find a possibility to enable tap to click for login window, as there are no users logged in at that time. Now I'm forced to actually click the trackpad every time I want to login. That heavily annoys me.
In Windows, there's a system user, that you copy your configuration to to affect the login behavior, it's easy in Windows. But how it is done on a Mac?

Hi Ming,
It seems that the page you are trying to open has some security access on it. Read Menus and Page Security in Dev Guide for more details.

Windows 8.1 Two Finger Tap Right Click

So, for anyone who has upgraded to 8.1 and suddenly lost their two finger tap right click functionality, I highly suggest that you use this: http://www.intowindows.com/how-to-enable-two-finger-tap-for-right-click-in-windows/. It restores the functionality of the trackpad and does not interfere with the synaptics clickpad. Just make sure that if your synaptics two finger scroll still works, you turn OFF that feature in the downloaded app.
Until HP figures out how to make their software compatible with 8.1 (which, if they're listening, SHOULD NOT BE AT ALL DIFFICULT NEARLY TWO WEEKS AFTER LAUNCH), this is an acceptable workaround. Also, I'm sure many of you have already figured this out, but HP customer service is atrocious and definitely not worth your time. If you ask them how to solve this, they'll tell you to restore your PC to factory settings and completely reinstall Windows 8.1.
I hope this helps anyone else who's experiencing this problem, as I only decided to post it after spending several hours fruitlessly searching for a solution.

On updating from windows 8 to windows 8.1, my Synaptics touch-pad lost the two finger right-click gesture.
Even after frustatingly trying to install-uninstall new driver software, problem didn't solve.
Finally I find the solution in registry entry:-
Go to Start > Run and type Regedit in Windows 7, or in Windows 8 type Regedit at the start screen.
Once open navigate to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Synaptics > SynTP > TouchpadPS2
There, right click and select New, DWORD Value. Name the value '2FingerTapAction'. Once created, double click it and set the Value Data to '2'.
If '2FingerTapAction' is already there, double click it and set the Value Data to '2'.
On certain systems the registry folder where the "2FingerTapAction" key is located may be named differently. e.g. On Envy x2 it is called "TouchPadRMIHID2c".
Then log off and log on, and it should all work. Easy.
I hope the problem is resolved.

Tap-to-Click doesn't work on Windows 8

Hi all. I'm using bootcamp for two weeks, and Trackpad's tap-to-click feature doesn't work on Windows 8 x64. Can you help me please? Thanks a lot.

Aah, thanks a lot. That's so easy.

Tap to click Windows 8 Boot Camp MacBook Pro Mountain Lion?

I am running Windows 8 through Boot Camp on a 2012 MacBook Pro, and I can't figure out how to enable the tap-to-click feature that I use on the OSX partition of my hard drive. Can anyone help?

Change “Tap to Click” (and other preferences) using Apple’s Boot Camp Control Panel:
Hit Windows + W (er, Command + W) to search in settings, type “Boot Camp” and hit Enter/Return.
Answer “Yes” to the question about whether you want to let this app have its way with your computer.
In the resulting “Boot Camp Control Panel” switch to the “Trackpad” tab.

Magic Trackpad's One Finger "Tap to Click" Not Working in Login Window?

Magic Trackpad's *One Finger* "Tap to Click" Not Working in Login Window:
All of my iMac's accounts have *One Finger* "Tap to Click" turned on (checked) in System Preferences. However, in the Login Window where the user decides which account to login to, the Magic Trackpad's clicking ability does not work even though moving the arrow does work. How do I turn on the Magic Trackpad's ability to click in the Login Window?

After accidentally pressing down on the Magic Trackpad, I realized the trackpad has tactile feedback, that is, it is a big button that can be pressed down and pop back up like old computer mice. Though this will allow the trackpad to select the account I want to open in the Login Window, it still doesn't explain why "tap to click" isn't working in the Login Window. Nevertheless, my question can be considered as answered.

HOW to permanently disable Tap to Click? Keeps re-enabling !@$#@&# HP 2000 Notebook PC Windows 7

I sincerely hope whoever implemented this featurehas [edited comment by moderator]. I was so tempted to just throw this machine out, or donating it to a homeless person though the latter could possibly be considered an act of cruelty.
Anyway, no matter how many times I disable tap to click, before long my laptop is clicking everything against my will, again. Is there a way to permanently disable this without permanently destroying the whole of the physical machine (which is growing increasingly tempting)?
My drivers are all up to date. So far I could only find a vague suggestion to edit the registry without details as to how and where.

Hi @hypgnosis ,
I have brought your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP. They will likely request information from you in order to look up your case details or product serial number. Please look for a private message from an identified HP contact. Additionally, keep in mind not to publically post ( serial numbers and case details).

Cant change tap to click settings because boot camp does not appear in the drive or task bar.

Late 2008 macbook pro 8Gb ram 750Gb HDD 2.8Ghz intel duo-core with OSX 10.9 (partition with Windows 7 ultamate)
I am experiancing a whole host of issues with installing windows on my mac, frst of all the genuine product key that I bought directly from microsoft does not work. Also my trackpad is partially broken so I can only tap to click which means that I have to use my external trackpad to use the computer in windows 7. Therefore I have tried to set windows 7 to tap to click but could not find the way to change that and the fourms said I could change it throuh the Bootcamp settings but bootcamp doesent appear anywhere in the search field and the icon is missing from the task bar and so is the arrow for showing hidden icons. As it is I can't get anywhere with this machine. Will someone please help me!

Bootcamp told me the windows support software was no longer avalable from Apple's servers. If I manage to get it from apple independently, do I download it from the windows side or the mac side of my drive partition?
Read the Boot Camp install guides. http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/

L440 Clickpad - "Tap to click" function not working in "Trackpoint Only" mode

On a fresh Window 7 install it is possible to tap-to-click when using the Trackpoint rather than pressing down on the Clickpad (which is *very* noisy compared to the X220/X230 buttons and requires far more force). This is very nice alternative to using the Clickpad for left/middle/right button clicks when using the Trackpoint only. It requires almost no force, it generates zero noise and is very comfortable.
Unfortunately, upon installing the Synaptics Ultranav drivers from Lenovo SU, this function is no longer present! You MUST click down the Clickpad otherwise it is not possible to register a left/right/middle click when using the Trackpoint.
Even with Touchpad enabled this functionality is not present, which is quite baffling because you would expect that when the Trackpoint is used, the touchpad should behave as mouse buttons + gestures + scroll zones.
I remember that there were plenty of tricks that could be done through registry entries to enable/disable "hidden" functions of the Synaptics driver. Is there a knowledge base that I could browse and find out if there is a way of enabling the tap-to-click feature when using only the Trackpoint?

Hi Harris,
sorry for not getting back to you quicker, had a job getting hold of an L440.
When I received the system it had driver version 16.6.4.27 installed and tapping worked as expected. After updating to driver version 18.0.7.99 tapping also worked.
Which driver version did you receive from SystemUpdate?

Trackpad - tap to click gets reset on laptop restart

I have set my trackpad setting to "tap to Click" but it gets reset every time I restart my macbook pro. Could you please help me overcome this problem!?

Tap to click has to be enabled separately in your Windows partition. I'm assuming you've installed all the Boot Camp drivers - in which case you need to navigate to the bottom right of your task bar and press the little arrow to reveal all of your background services. You should see the Boot Camp logo. Double click on it (or if that fails, right click on it and open the Preferences menu) and you should see some tabs such as 'Startup Disk', 'Keyboard' etc. Navigate to the one called 'Trackpad' and you should find a checkbox for the tap to click option.

My original iPad takes about 5 long seconds before responding to my finger tap in the safari window. Like I tap in Safari window, then count 5 seconds before I can begin typing my search words. Is this normal? I really don't remember it taking so long when I bought it, but it has been this way for awhile. I have closed all open apps many times to no avail. I just reset all settings and still 5 seconds. I don't have a lot on my iPad with plenty of free space available. Also, I have to click twice on many things that typically take one click. Like it highlights it with first click, then second click completes the action that normally would be done in one click, like Facebook like button. Like will underline with click one, then will change to like on second click. Do I need to try to restore from my computer?
Thanks for any help!

Ive tried that but when Im logged in I dont have all the permmisions I should have so it just runs the test for my usernames own little virtual world. Ive been using macs for over a decade now and I have never had my computer do anything like this. while sitting in front of my screen I watched the mouse go to some personal files and change the permissions and then covered their tracks by changing the timestamp on the file dates back. I watched it happpen while all internet conections were off. I had my identity stolen, my facebook password changed, my email accounts closed out. and my firmware password changed all within two weeks of the origninal boot date

Touchpad tapping and clicking

Hello.
I have a strange problem with the touchpad. I cannot select internet search result using the touchpad. I tried double tapping, right clicking, left clicking. It just won't work. I have to copy the link and paste the link in the URL. I already check the pop-up blocker.
Touchpad works fine on my internet home page. I can double tap(s) on a story, news, and other icons. No problems. It just when I do a search. I can only see the result, but cannot click on it, or double tap it.
I'm hoping someone out there with a similar problem. It is a laptop Pavilion dv7. I'm using Windows 7/64.

How can I double tap to put a window in the dock in 10.10.1

Greetings,
I have a brand new late 2014 MacBook Pro Retina, 15". I have used Macs all my life and I'm used to double 'tapping' (clicking) on the title bar to send a window to the dock. This new machine only changes the size of the window with this movement. I have to click on the yellow ball to send it to the dock. Any ideas as to how I can change this?
Also looking for a way to view iTunes as a list instead of all the icons spread out. What happened to 'simple'.
Thanks for listening.
Danny

System Preferences > Dock > Minimize windows using:
Enable "Double-click a window's title bar to minimize".
If you double-click an app’s title bar, and the app minimizes into the Dock, the “Double-click a window’s title bar to minimize” option is set in Dock preferences. To instead expand the app window, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Dock, then deselect “Double-click a window’s title bar to minimize.”
