Trackpad issues - Windows 7 64-bit

Hi. This may have been posted already, but I can't seem to find any topics. I just installed Windows 7 64-bit on my Macbook, 2.4 Intel Core 2 Duo, and am unable to right click when in Boot Camp. I'm running OSX 10.6.6. Should I just install the 32-bit version, or is there a fix that allows me to run 64-bit and be able to right click. Having left click only is kind of a drag.

in osx bootcamp program one creates a usb stick or disc with the required apple drivers
installing that made my imacs magic pad work in windows 7 and later windwows8

  • Random hard freezing issues, Windows 8 64-bit on Macbook Pro (Late 2008)

    Hi,
    I recently upgraded to OS X 10.8.3 and got a hold on copy of Windows 8 64-bit. As I'm running on my old trustworthy 15 inch Macbook Pro (Late 2008), my hardware is officially unsupported. Over the years I've had XP, Vista, Win7 32-bit and 64-bit running running on the same machine, and thought I'd give Win8 a chance.
    To be able to install Win8 on my unsupported hardware, I tricked the Bootcamp assistant that I was going to install Win7, and after the reboot and start of the Win7 installation, I exited the installer, rebooted, switched DVD to Win8 and did the installation from there. So far so good. For installing the Bootcamp drivers, I followed the instructions in https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4894920?tstart=90.
    Now, the machine runs just fine with Windows 8, and I've installed some basic third party applications (Firefox, Spotify, Steam). However, I get completely random hard freezes on the machine (sound looping, no other activity whatsoever) during normal use. These can occur 20 minutes after start, or 3-4 hours in. The freezing behavior is very much similar to how my model can behave under overheating conditions (which mostly have occured in past Windows versions while gaming), however overheating doesn't seem to be the issue here (based on simple palpation ).
    Have anyone experienced a similar problem, or know something about it? My current idea is that some weird things are going on with the Bootcamp drivers, so unless anyone comes up with a suggestion I might try doing a rollback to the point before I installed the drivers to see what I can make of it.
    Thanks!

    Had a few similar short system freezes, after installing Windows 8 x64 on 13” MacBook Pro Mid-2010 with BootCamp 5.0.5033.
    There is a suggestion that DisableDynamicTick may fix the problem: https://discussions.apple.com/message/21565295#21565295. There were similar topics at Microsoft forums: 1, 2, 3. It was said “that this will likely reduce system battery life, so it should be undone when you update your Windows build or if it doesn't resolve your issue”, and that “this problem is resolved in the release versions of Windows 8”.
    Another possibility is that there is indeed a buggy driver, within BootCamp 5.0.5033, or a 3rd party, like a wireless network driver in the following case http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-performance/system-fr eeze-randomly-after-installing-windows-8/49488183-26cf-4389-af21-a85dc366c99a?pa ge=2#LastReply.
    The problem has been noticeable on my MacBook, but not annoying enough yet to spend time troubleshooting. If you find a robust solution, using the links above or other method, it would be interesting to know.

  • How to fix applepushservice.dll issues for downloading iTunes on Windows 7 64 bit

    I recently had iTunes crash on my home PC, Windows 7 64-bit.  I have tried several attempts to uninstall and reinstall the program and it still does not work and I receive error messages.  The latest:  The program can't start because ApplePushService.dll is missing from your computer.  Try reinstalling the program to fix the problem.  Problem is, the articles that I have seen state this is an Unknown source and my firewall will not allow it to be installed.  The original error was a Windows Error 7 (registry & .dll issues).  Any suggestions on how to fix this problem?

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • Issues with itunes 10.5 on Windows 7 (32 Bit) When Trying to sync iphone 4S or older

    I see a lot of people out there, specifically windows OS owners (xp all the way to 7), having issues with iTunes 10.5.  Here are the following issues I've encountered (some may only have one problem, others my have a combo pack of problems).
    1. iphone 4S or older won't sync or backup
    2. iTunes store won't open
    The issue I found after using the diagnostics tool in iTunes (which is useless in identify scripting issues or major communication issues), reviewing the windows event log, and reinstalling all apple software and components, was the fact that my spyware and anti virus software was causing a communication error within apple's software.  I use spyware doctor with anti virus.  I had to uninstall spyware doctor in order for iTunes 10.5 to work.  After that, everything worked well and I did a clean install of spyware doctor.
    If the issue still persists, you might have to reset your internet protocol (TCP/IP).  You have to run a command prompt as an administrator and enter the following: netsh winsock reset
    Visit this Microsoft link for more info about resetting your IP:  support.microsoft.com/kb/299357    
    Finally words:  Apple, like all other software companies, continually encounter software glitches and issues because they don't test products correctly before bringing them to market- this has been a reoccurring theme for the last 2-3 years.  The most important aspect of using any software should be functionality, efficiency, ease of use, and above all "A Positive End User Experience."  Wasn't that Steve Job's mantra?  We can all hope that Apple embraces his philosophy and vision for the many years to come.  This, above all, is not a great start for Apple moving forward without their true inspirational leader. 

    Here is what worked for me for both 10.5 and 10.5.1 after hours of frustration with Itunes stopping and shutting down in the middle of a sync or tranferring Apps downloaded on my Ipad2 or Iphone 4:
    Start iTunes in iTunes Safe Mode:
    1.  hold down the Shift and Control key together and click to start iTunes.
    2.  when you see the iTunes icon in the task bar, click on it.
    3.  you will get a box that says "iTunes is running in safe mode.  Visual plug-ins you have installed have been termporarily disabled."   [I don't know what plug-ins I installed but you should clearly see that these so-called visual plug-ins are likely the cause of your issues];
    4. click Continue to open iTunes.
    You could already have your device connected to your computer or do it after opening iTunes in its safe mode.
    Now press your sync button and everything should work fine.
    I also disabled Genius in iTunes preferences but I'm not sure if this is one of the issues causing these types of problems.
    I hope this works.  This may be the workaround for all of us Windows 7 64-bit folks.

  • Having issues installing iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows 7 (64 bit).

    Issues installing iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows 7 (64 bit).This install clobbered my previous version of iTunes. Error message is "service Apple Mobile Device failed to start". Cannot start the service manually even though I am the administrator of the machine. There is obviously some conflict that was recently introduced by a Windows update or in the Apple installation. I have tried removing iTunes and the AMDS (the Apple mobile device service) and reinstalling with the same error message.
    Thanks for any suggestions you can provide!
    Marilyn

    Hey there Marylin,
    It sounds like you are unable to start iTunes due to this error message even after uninstalling the iTunes application and the Apple Mobile device. I would recommend uninstalling not just those 2 applications but iTunes and ALL its associated applications with the following article:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

  • Windows 7 64 bit, iPod touch 2nd gen, iTunes sync issue

    I have Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium and am frustrated to death. I have spent days wiping out my iPod trying something different an only to start all over again. I am not a n00b to computers and only ask because I only find a trail of tears and none of the problems I see look specifically like mine.
    I have been following this issue since Feb 2010 and notice reports that are sort of similar back to Jan of 2009. Anyway here is my problem.
    iTunes will recognize my iPod touch 2nd Gen. iTunes will "sync" apps and data. iTunes will not sync movies, music, books, or software upgrades.
    I get an error code that changes depending on what I am trying and seems to lead to no where. I can't honestly remember the code anymore.
    I can sync with this same computer using Windows XP 32 Pro win a VirtualBox VM, but can not do it directly from within Windows 7. So hardware and drivers are not the issue. I reinstalled iTunes with a Vista 64 bit install that I found online which appeared to work temporarily then ultimately I ended up back where I started.
    I actually switched to Windows (from linux) because I got tired of the VirtualBox method. Quite ironic that I am still facing the same issue.
    On top of the not being able to sync properly from Windows 7 64 bit. Everytime I try I have to put in hours of work to get my Ipod back to working order as iTunes only allows you to sync with one computer and is slower that snail poop in January. In order to try again I have to be willing to commit to the problems that I am most likely to encounter.
    So my questions are
    1. Does anyone have a clue why Apple has not fixed this issue? or is there a solution I don't know about?
    2. Is there an easier way to attempt a fix that does not require me to re organize my 70+ apps on my iPod?
    P.S. I do not have an intel based chipset as that seems to have been an issue for others. I have
    ASUS M2V VIA K8T890 AM2 Mother Board
    CPU AMD|A64 X2 4600+
    VGA EVGA GF 7300GT
    Have tried direct to MB USB and through powered Hub

    Are you sure that you downloaded the 64 bit version and not the 32 bit version?  I would delete the download and try again.  You also might want to look at the iTunes forum since youu have an iTunes problem and not an iPod problem.

  • ITunes issues with Windows 7 64 bit

    SO i upgraded to Windows 7 64 bit and I see 10s of thousands of posts lamenting the fact that iTunes does not work with Wondows 7 64 bit.  This is an Apple issue not a Microsoft issue.  I expect more from Apple.  I am now hostage to the many many $$ and time I've invested in Apple TV and programs, iTunes music, etc. . .  Apple has dropped the ball and I want to know when they will fix this debacle?

    Did you download the 64bit version of iTunes? I have Win7 Pro 64 bit and iTunes works on my pc. Just keep in mind that when you upgrade your OS, that doesn't mean that your programs automatically switch to 64 bit too, you may need to do a lot of re-installing of some of your programs

  • Issue with Oracle service bus installation on Windows 7 64 bit machine

    Hi,
    I am trying to install Oracle service bus 11.1.1.4 in Windows 7 64 bit machine for which i have downloaded the generic installers of both weblogic server and Oracle service bus. As per the instructions -
    1. Install JDK 1.6
    2. Install Weblogic server
    3.Install Eclipse separately (In my case Galileo 11.1.1.5 64 bit) - Just unzip the contents in the home directory where weblogic server is installed
    4. Install OSB
    I have installed all the above 1,2,3 in the same folder as per the instructions. But when i try to install OSB which asks for eclipse home location. But when i give the eclipse home location, it gives an error ""Home location is invalid" and i am unable to proceed with the installation.
    I have tried this with OSB 11.1.1.5 as well and have the same issue.
    Does anyone has any links which provides the steps to install OSB in Windows 7 64 bit machines or if someone can help me to resolve the above issue ?
    I really appreciate any information on this as it is urgent.
    Thanks

    I have installed OEPE 11.1.1.6.1 now in the same middleware home as weblogic server but when i try to install OSB 11.1.1.4 in the same middleware home, it asks for OEPE home location. Even though i provide the OEPE home location , it displays as "invalid oepe home location".
    I have been struggling to get this sorted out so that i can carry out IDE development in OSB 11.1.1.4
    Below are the paths where sfotware are installed -
    JDK - C:\Oracle\Middleware\Java\jdk1.6.0_21
    Weblogic server - C:\Oracle\Middleware\wlserver_10.3
    OEPE - C:\Oracle\Middleware\oepe-galileo-all-in-one-11.1.1.6.0.201007221355-win32-x86_64
    Thanks

  • 12c Cloud Control installtion issue (on Windows 7-64 bit)

    Hello,
    I am trying to install 12c Cloud Control on my personal computer Windows 7 (64-bit) OS for practice purpose. The database setup has been fine and the creation of pluggable database has been successful post which we need to install the cloud control setup. There is an issue at "Step 6 of 9" where we are required to provide the database Configuration Details. The details are: Database Host Name, Port, SID, SYS password. After providing these details it shows the following error:
    "There was a problem connecting to the database on the host and port specified. Check to make sure the host is up or that the database listener is running on that host."
    My understanding is:
    Database Host Name: it is the fully qualified name of my computer, which in my case is "SRIDHAR-PC".
    I ran the following script and it confirmed the same: [quote]DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE()UTL_INADDR.GET_HOST_NAME[/quote]
    Port: the default port "1521" that I have provided and which I have not configured anywhere during installation. So it is the default one.
    SID: The SID of the pluggable database being asked and. In this case it is "PLUGDB"
    SYS password: The password of the sys account.
    How do I resolve this error?

    I am sorry for having asked this question outside the forum that I am supposed to for the issue. Progressing further on the issue, yes I have tried connecting them using the credentials and it succeeds connecting the database. On digging further I found that I have been installing the 12c Cloud Control setup on 12c database with pluggable-container database architecture, unfortunately which the 12c Cloud Control EM does not support to be installed on. To install the 12c EM Cloud Control we need to install it on either of the two databases:
    1) A pre-12c instance, i.e. 11g database (OR)
    2) 12c database installed as a regular installation (as we install the 11g DB) which is not installed as a container-pluggable database combination (This option needs to be selected at the time of database installation).
    Oracle can support monitoring the databases which contain the container-pluggable database structure along with the single instance and RAC architecture, but to install the EM Cloud Control setup, it cannot be installed on DB's which consists container-pluggable structure.

  • IMac 27" heat issue in windows 7 64-bit

    I have installed Windows 7 64-bit on my iMAC27" i7 machine. it's working fine with no evident issues.
    But lately I found that the fan is always blowing hot air and the back of my iMAC is hot (especially on the upper left side of the back of the screen). It gets hot even if it was locked or not activities are there.
    But I don't get this issue when I am using the Snow Leopard MacOS , the MAC operates fine and everything is cold?
    any help please? because I work mainly in W7 and I don't want the machine to wear down because of the heat.

    As long as the machine is operating fine forget about it, you are simply noticing heat leaving the machine through the exhaust vent. My suggestion (and it's probably unpopular) is if you can leave Windoze just dump it and run everything in OS X. Leave virus's, malware and other maintenance headaches behind.

    Hi there,
    Specs: as per Qosmio X 300. SSD 110GB, pentium core 4 extreme, 4 Gb RAM, plenty free storage on SSD (29GB), NVidia drivers with primary being GE Force 9800 M GTS, Direct X10.  there is also a note down the bottom saying that if i have linked graphic cards (whihc i do i believe there are three), that i can expect better perfomrance with some software.
    Ok I aplogise from the outset, i am a layman and not that techie. K.  So the issue that I upgraded recently (last week) from vista ultimate 64 bit to windows 7 64 bit. ultimate.  For the main, I am reasonably happy with the outcome in most areas - except gaming that is. I have increased speed and agility and the processor is now rated at 7.2. WEI. overall the laptop is rated at 5.8. however, getting back to teh reason for writing, I have nothing negative to say about windows 7 (as compared to its predecessor) apart from wishing to resolve my game crash issue. which usually occurs about 15 mins - 20 mins into a game and comes in the form of a shutdown ? BSOD from whence the laptop reboots when prompted at on/off and wants to know if to start normally or in various safe modes. I have noticed that the laptop does become very hot at the back (around the fans) prior to teh shutdown, and i am wondering if this is an overheating issue, and how to resolve if this is the case. the only other thing i have noticed that seems untoward is that i have apparently lost a wireless jump start driver from the upgrading process which i cannot find anywherre, and may be totally unrelated to this issue anyway.
    All i want to do is play the games i could play on windows vista ultimate 64 bit. these include: Sims 3, sims 3 world adventures, sims 3 ambitions, highloft end stuff, and Bioshock. Oddly enough, i have played sid meyers civillisations revolutions IV (the latest one) with no crashes, and i havent tried ANNO 1404, but fear a similar fate may await this game as some of the others.
    Addditional information:
    everything is as i described it above, however the screen does not go blue but black,and the laptop shuts itself down,  laptop acts as if hibernating mode? (these are guesses) or some mechanism geared at preventing over heating - the back becomes very hot.  the machine can be rebooted from normal mode but comes up firstly with a screen suggesting that the laptop was incorrectly shutdown, and offers options as to safe mode, normal etc. i have been starting normally with no adverse effects.   This is scenario one.
    scenario two ends up similarly at teh reboot stage, but gets there differently. i play the game and the screen freezes, unable to move touchpad curser, unalbe to use ctrl alt del to get up task manager. end up having to crash to reboot.
    I am quite frustrated and very reluctant to mess around with things that i dont understand (dont want to make the problem worse!). I am happy to attemtpt to follow your good explicit advice.
    the only other negative thing i am expereinceing is screen flicker on internet. I have changed my power mode from high performance to balanced to try to nullify the overheating issue but i now am noticing this screen flicker which is irriating and appears on keystroke, or cursor movement.
    Please note well:  I am a layman, not a technician! Please explain in easy to (dummy) terms! Thanks!
    kind regards

  • Display Quality issue after updating to Bootcamp 3.1 (windows 7 64-bit)

    I managed to install Windows 7 64-bit without issues (all issues got resolved after installing bootcamp 3.0 from the OSX DVD).
    Then I saw the BootCamp update for windows 7 64-bit as being (Recommended) and I installed it...
    after that I got a problem in the screen where I get low quality in gradient colors.
    I tried installing the ATI Radeon 4850 Driver from the ATI website , but without any luck, the driver is identified correctly and color depth (32-bit) , but still the quality isn't acceptable.
    Anyone facing similar issue? please advise ? I tried restore point but it failed.
    Any suggestions?

    Are you sure? Since both CPU-Z 1.53.1 and Catalyst Control Center are stating that my graphic card is a ATI Radeon HD 4850 (device ID 944A).. :S
    So, Bootcamp 3.1 seems to have solved nothing (plugging headphones in still

    exist - i.e colour banding!. And, obviously, no software fix is going address
    You could try to roll back the driver. I've more or less the instruction written in this thread and at the moment, with 8.661 version of the driver I don't have the color banding issue (I've to test stability yet, since it seems that this driver version is quite more unstable).
    However, yeah I feel your disappointment, I'm a Mac user since 2001, changed several macs and this is the first one that comes with so much issues.

  • Issues with Thinkpad yoga on Windows 7 64-bit

    I uninstalled the windows 8.1 that came with my Thinkpad Yoga to installe windows 7 64-bit because there was no support for Power Manager ( a tool that allows you to charge your battery only upto a certain percentage (eg 40%) which helps reduce battery aging when the notebook is mostly operated on AC power).
    Doing that required me to fully clean the Hard-disk during the installation process.
    I installed almost all of the drivers available on  http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-yoga-series-laptops/thinkpad-...
    for thinkpad yoga and windows 7 64 bit.
    Happily, this provided me the Power manager, and I can use it just as I wanted.
    However, all these has brought in additional issues which are listed below:
    1. The touch pad right click doesn't work. Only two finger tap works as right click.
    2. The touch pad gestures for zoom and scroll doesn't work at all.
    3. The screen auto-rotate doesn't work.
    4. The touch screen gesture for zoom doesn't work.
    I did install the ultra-nav and screen-rotate drivers, but I get error messages regarding synaptics ... not working and also sensor driver not working during the windows startup.
    Any help please?
    Thank you.

    Just when I was happy that major issues have been resolved by constant updating, I am now experiencing this frightening problem. Mostly during startup, and lately in the middle of working, the screen freezes, shows very damaged image (like TV noise), produces the most unpleasant sound through the speakers and nothing works. I need to restart and hope that it will be ok. Sometimes it requires 2 or 3 restarts, going to safe-mode and returning back to get the issue resolved.
     This has happened three or 4 times within 24 hrs. I searched in the forum and for another model it was suggested that epresscache might be the cause. I disabled the service, but the problem reappeared even then.
    Any help please:
    This is what appears on the screen when the computer freezes and produces loud unpleasant noise sound.
