I deleted my apple keyboard and track pad driver by accident.

I deleted my apple keyboard and track pad driver by accident so now i can’t do anything on my windows side. Not sure what to do now. Please Help!

for this you will need a wired usb mouse. back in osx, download windows support software to your desktop or where you prefer, go back to windows with the wired mouse connected, open "this pc" go into your osx drive and install the support software from where you left it.

I uinibody MBP and Track Pad driver compatible?

After a grueling few weeks, I FINALLY got the apple drivers to install on my unibody MBP (boot camp 2.1) without error. Of course, installing and working are not the same thing.
The track pad works poorly at best. You cannot right mouse on the start button, for example. I have checked downloads, and I have the latest. Is there any way to make this work right?
Thanks

Satelite P500-12F will not load the track pad drivers!

Hi, I just got a driver DVD for this lappy and its a self intall of all drivers that are missing or need updating, when ran I was told the track pad driver was missing and started to load it but it won't I tried a force load but hat also failed, the track pad has not worked since getting this second hand could the track pad be disconnected from the main board?
Would this make the driver fail to load please?
Any help would be truly appreciated.
Many thanks, Wayne..

Hi, When I bought this second hand the guy removed the hard drive for data protection and put in a new drive so no Toshiba software on ths one, the dvd was bought from ebay and is a driver dvd from USA no operating system it just self installs the drivers after windows has been installed, as in OP the track pad was not working and I thought it may be just the driver fault but it will not load it even with a forced install so I am just wondering if the track pad is actually connected, when the disk is inserted it searches for missing drivers and looks for updated drivers on the disk and it says then it is missing this driver but will just not install it, very confusing indeed.
Regards, Wayne..

Track pad used to work...not anymore

I have a mbp original and after installing xp the track pad used to work great but after I tried to upgrade the driver it stopped working. I reinstalled the leopard part then updated boot camp but it still dosent work, Is there a solution to this issue? Now in order for me to use xp I have to use a mouse and thats a pain,any suggestions would be appreciated, Thanks

Go to Device Manager and uninstall the Track pad driver.It should be listed under "Human Interface Devices". Then you should restart and install the Driver from the Bootcamp CD (The older on).
Sometimes just overwriting of Driver doesn't work so always remember : For best possible result, uninstall the old driver and only then Install the new one.
Hope that helps.

I tried to update my macbook pro, the screen is now frozen. My track pad hasn't been working for awhile and my disc drive is broken. IS there anything that can be done without buying a new laptop. It was bought in 2009

My track pad has not been working properly for awhile and my disc drive it damaged. I went to update my macbook pro to maveric and it is now frozen and not allowing me to click anything. Is there anything that can be done to fix this without buying a new one? Its from early 2009

ShelbyMackenzieLynne,
when you say that your disc drive is damaged, do you mean your MacBook Pro’s hard disk drive, or do you mean its SuperDrive (the CD/DVD drive)?
When you’d updated your MacBook Pro to Mavericks, did the installation succeed, and subsequently freeze up? Or did it freeze up during the Mavericks installation?
Which version of OS X was installed on your MacBook Pro before you’d installed Mavericks?
Are you currently able to boot into the Mavericks recovery partition? To see if you can do so, hold down a Command key and the R key while starting up your MacBook Pro.

Problems with track pad and osx installation disc on macbok.

Okay so I am having two separate problems with my macbook.
First, the track pad, or the button beneath it, is pretty much completely out of commission. When I try and use it, the computer acts as if I am holding down the button all the time. Example, when I drag it across the desktop, the "click-and-drag" square starts appearing next to the cursor or when move the cursor on an icon, it tries to click and drag that. The only way that I can fix it thus far is to hook up my wireless mouse. Hoping someone else has a better solution so that I can continue to use the notebook on the go without having to bring the mouse. Note: the button does not appear to be depressed in anyway.
Second problem is happening when I attempt to reboot the computer with the OS X Leopard disk in for a re-installation. When the gray start-up screen appears, before the gray apple comes on the middle of the screen, a folder icon with a question mark on it appears for a split second and then turns into the normal apple icon after which my OSX disk is spit out of the drive and the computer boots straight to the desktop. I have attempted holding down the control button, the option button, and starting the process while the computer is still turned on and then just restarting it, the disc is ejected upon restart every time. I have reinstalled the OS with this disk once before and it has worked fine and other disks seem to be working fine in the drive, so I am at a lost here.
I know that was a lot of info but if anyone out there can help me out with either one of these problems it would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

exactly the same issu with the track pad here.
I v tried to use it without the battery but the problem persist.
If I use an USB mouse i can move it arnd but wen I click or double click nothing happen...so is useless.Same problem with the Blur Tooth wireless mouse.
The issue appear several months ago...after a couple of weeks went away, and now is back again. I try the routine manteinance but nothing solved the issue.
Any suggestion? I have some urgent work to do ...I will try tomorrow to bring it in an apple store but I can't leave it with them ..
Thanx in advance

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!

My brand new iMac track pad reverted to a system preference option that doesn't allow gestures to work or be restored, any suggestions?

I purchased a brand new IMac 21 inch a few weeks ago and restored it to my macbook pro. A few days later the gestures on the track pad stopped working. After listening to the advice of apple support and wasting a number of hours without success, I decided to restore the computer to new and start fresh. The outcome was the track pad worked just fine. I noticed the system preferences track pad choice provided options that I didn't have before. All worked fine and of course from their I migrated apps and documents from my time machine. a few days later I plugged my ipod in and noticed the track pad was not working.
Having spent another two hours with apple support, they concluded they would call me back as they agreed that the system preferences setup for the trackpad had reverted to an older version.
I am not certain if migrating the apps folder had anything to do with this and am waiting to hear back. I am tempted to restore the machine to new again and see if that restores the track pad system preferences. If it does I will avoid migrating any files to see how long the track pad works. I have my docs, photos, and other critical folders backed up individually on a separate drive. Let me know if anyone has experienced a similar problem. Thanks!

Have you tried all of these?
1. Pressing the Eject key while opening the iMac.
2. Pressing the Eject key while closing down the iMac.
3. Holding down the Option key while restarting the iMac.
4. Using Disk Utility to try to Mount, Repair and Eject the disk.
5. Holding down the Mouse while restarting the iMac.
6. Pressing the O and F keys while closing down the iMac.
7. Opened Applications > Utilities >Terminal and typed in 'drutil tray eject'.

Synaptics Track Pad and HAL

Hello,
I just installed Arch on a new Acer Aspire One 751h. I have used Arch before, but haven't installed a graphical environment since hwd was recommended. Anyway, I got HAL to autodetect all of my hardware correctly (as far as I can tell, so far). I don't even have an xorg.conf file. Nice, progress.
But I can't get my Synaptic track pad to work at all.
Here's the relevant config stuff:
/etc/rc.d (not the whole thing):
MODULES=(acpi_cpufreq ath5k pciehp r8169 !snd_pcsp uvcvideo)
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng network netfs crond sshd hal alsa)
/etc/hal/fdi/policy/11-x11-synaptics.fdi:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.touchpad">
<merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">synaptics</merge>

<merge key="input.x11_options.SHMConfig" type="string">true</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.VertTwoFingerScroll" type="string">true</merge>

<merge key="input.x11_options.TapButton1" type="string">1</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.TapButton2" type="string">2</merge>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
It doesn't seem like HAL recognizes my configuration data at all. (Notice "TapButton2" is different below) But on the other hand, HAL is aware that a touch pad is installed. (I checked, and it matches dmesg's report, so it is finding real hardware)
lshal:
udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_i8042_i8042_AUX1_port_logicaldev_input'
info.capabilities = {'input', 'input.touchpad'} (string list)
info.category = 'input' (string)
info.parent = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_i8042_i8042_AUX1_port' (string)
info.product = 'SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad' (string)
info.subsystem = 'input' (string)
info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_i8042_i8042_AUX1_port_logicaldev_input' (string)
input.device = '/dev/input/event4' (string)
input.originating_device = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_i8042_i8042_AUX1_port' (string)
input.product = 'SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad' (string)
input.x11_driver = 'synaptics' (string)
input.x11_options.HorizTwoFingerScroll = 'true' (string)
input.x11_options.SHMConfig = 'true' (string)
input.x11_options.TapButton1 = '1' (string)
input.x11_options.TapButton2 = '3' (string)
input.x11_options.TapButton3 = '0' (string)
input.x11_options.VertTwoFingerScroll = 'true' (string)
linux.device_file = '/dev/input/event4' (string)
linux.hotplug_type = 2 (0x2) (int)
linux.subsystem = 'input' (string)
linux.sysfs_path = '/sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio2/input/input5/event4' (string)
But in the end, the track pad doesn't work -- no matter what i do:
synclient -m 10
time x y z f w l r u d m multi gl gm gr gdx gdy
0.001 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 00000000 0 0 0 0 0
Anybody have any ideas?

This was pretty dumb in the end. As the logs show, the SynPS2 touchpad was detected correctly. I just had to turn it "on", with a special Function key combination.

Two Finger Scrolling using track pad doesn't work.

You know how you can drag 2 fingers down the track pad to sroll down a page. Well, it doesn't work for me using Vista through Boot Camp. I tried the update, but it wouldn't install.
Is this as good as it gets?
Hypnoguy

Hypnoguy,
Sorry I haven't used boot camp for a long time my memory is a little fuzzy. Also note I used it with XP and not Vista, but don't use it at the moment anymore.
Here is a list of Supported Macs for 64-bit windows: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1846
As per your trackpad problems after the drives have been installed I would try to install the update again: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3336
Here are the boot camp updates and also may help with errors:
64 bit: http://support.apple.com/downloads/BootCamp_Update_2_1_for_Windows_Vista64
32 bit: http://support.apple.com/downloads/BootCamp_Update_2_1_for_Windows_Vista32
Also I would look in the boot camp system tray tool to see if there are settings related to your function keys.
Sorry I don't know of a function key that changes the startup volume, I only know of the select from the boot camp system tray (Windows)/Startup disk preference pane (Mac) or the hold option during startup. More on that here http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/11892.html
A good place to find a lot of Bootcamp support would be here: http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
Hope that helps,
Weston

Track pad not synching

Hi all. New boy here looking for help with my track pad sync. so i am on 10.5.8 and the track pad says got to run 10.6.4 or later, so is that it, i am stuck and no joy? can my intel duo core imac run the latest os? cheers all oh, anyone know and god tutorials for Automator, that thing is driving me crazy..lol

Hi Mr Dean,
Unfortunatley you'll have to upgrade. Your machine is capable of Snow Leopard as long as it meets these general requirements:
General requirements
* Mac computer with an Intel processor
* 1GB of memory
* 5GB of available disk space
* DVD drive for installation
It think you'll like the upgrade, here's a list of what's new and enhanced.

Track pad buttons won't work

My track pad buttons on Mac Book Pro will not work. Can move cursor using the track pad, but when I click on the buttons nothing happens

I suggest deleting the preference file for the trackpad - it may have become corrupted. Heres how:
Home Folder>Library Folder>Preferences Folder>com.apple.driver.AppleBluetoothMultitouch.ytrackpad.plist
Delete: com.apple.driver.AppleBluetoothMultitouch.ytrackpad.plist
If this doesn't resolve the issue, I wonder if you are using a third-party trackball or mouse, the driver for that hardware might also be helping to make stuff wonky- Make sure you are using the latest version of drivers for third-party stuff and that the hardware is in fact compatible with your system.
Hope this helps! :-)

HP Pavilion dv7-1232nr keyboard and track pad no longer work

We purchased our lap top 1-11-09 and have had to already replace the battery in the summer of 2010 and then in October the entire system stopped responding, after determining it was not due to a virus, working with Norton/Comcast, I took the to a computer repair shop 11-29-10 and the technician said that the mouse/track pad and keyboard were not working and would need to be replaced as they no longer were responding, he said this was a common occurrence with HP laptops. He suggested I try to use a plug in mouse and keyboard so that I could use the computer temporarily until I contacted HP about this, I have plugged in a key board and mouse but the computer is still unresponsive. I am very upset about spending $600 plus 7.75% tax on a product less than 2 years ago that appears to be defective and I would like to hear from your consumer affairs department or from someone that handles issues such as this. I need my computer for work/school/ personal use and have had to borrow a computer for the time being as I can not afford a new one and think its ridiculous to have to pay for the parts an labor to replace the defective mouse/track pad and keyboard.

This is a user to user forum, its out of warranty, HP will do nothing for you unfortunately.
I suggest you back up your personal data to an external drive and use the HP recovery to completely reinstall the OS and drivers, see if this cures it.

Using track pad on iMac

Hi
I have just bought a track pad for my iMac. Pleased with it but not sure about one thing, is it possible to do a double tap on pad to pick things up and move them like the windows or a files? I find pressing down hard on the track pad to move things is quite difficult and you can do a double tap and hold your finger down on a Mac book pro.
Thanks for any help

Gramps,
I haven't tried a "safe boot" but overnight I disconnected my ScanSnap S1500M, and two external firewire drives, a G-tech and a LaCie. The problem appears to have gone away for now. When I figure out which peripheral is causing the problem I'll be able to deal with it. Fujitsu just issued an update on the scanner (I had the problem before the update) so I'll see if the drives can be updated.
I'll also try the safe boot. I might have more than one problem.
Thanks to all for taking time to help, I may be back.
