Window 8.1 update on MackBook Pro. TrackPad Issues

Hello will soneone help me please, I recently upgraded to Windows 8.1 from 8.0 on my MacBook Pro running Maveracks. Now the trackpad features no longer work.Before the upgrade I was able to do a two finger right click and scroll. Now at best I can move the pointer around. Is this a comman bug with the update or is there a setting that needs to be changed?
TRhank you

Hello deekay56,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand the computer keyboard and other programs are experiencing issue since updating to Windows 8.1. I'll do my best to help, but first I require the following information:
1. The computer's model number. If you require assistance locating this information, please reference this website: Guide to finding your notebook product number
2. The computer's operating system you are currently using. If you require assistance locating this information, please reference this website to determine your Windows operating system.
3. Does this occur on certain spyware/anti-virus programs, or all programs?
4. Have you installed any new software or drivers on this computer, before the issue appeared?

Windows 8.1 - Update consideration, resources, and known issues

This community KB article is being consolidated to help Lenovo customers who are early adopters of the Windows 8.1 update. This article will be frequently updated to include information on recommendation on issues that have been reported and are currently being addressed by Lenovo product teams. It is recommended that a backup of all data be made prior to starting the Windows 8.1 update.
Official Lenovo Windows 8 and 8.1 Support resources - list of officially supported systems, information on license keys, activation, upgrade / downgrade rights and more.
Update Drivers before upgrading to Windows 8.1. At this time Lenovo recommends that customers who are planning to install the Windows 8.1 update, first update to the latest version of device drivers and BIOS on the Lenovo support site and apply Windows updates. Lenovo customers who are using ThinkPad, ThinkStation, ThinkCentre systems may elect to use the System Update to accomplish the Lenovo driver updates before updating to Windows 8.1. System update 5.03 should be used. If system update is downlevel, it should first update itself to version 5.03. Windows 8.1 drivers are being packaged and made available for automated install through System Update; therefore initially a limited number of 8.1 updates may be reported through System update. Updated drivers can still be installed manually by downloading from the support site. Lenovo is currently working on the release and availability of Windows 8.1 drivers through system update.
Not finding 8.1 drivers for officially supported models on the Lenovo support site?  The driver list for some systems ( Helix for example) currently reflect a mix of drivers for Windows 8 and Windows 8.1. The Windows 8 drivers should work and have been tested, and compatibility designations are being revised to clearly reflect compatibility with Windows 8.1. This updating of descriptions is expected to complete in early November

Please note: Reset back to factory will wipe out all data.
SOLVED - Black Screen with flashing pointer after install on some hybrid graphics equipped systems , S440/540, T430/530   W530 could potentially be affected. This issue has been addressed and Windows 8.1 updates on these models conducted after 10/29/13 should proceed normally. A Lenovo support tip for S series has been released to assist any previously affected customers. Another tip for T430/530 and W530 series is available, too.

I have a z580 Ideapad that came with Windows 8.0. Some materials on the Lenovo site indicate that this laptop should not be updated to Windows 8.1 due to provides with the video driver, other materials indicate that it is OK. Has the video driver issue been resolved? Are there other Windows 8.1 upgrade issues? Maybe I should avoid problems and just stay with WIndows 8.0.

Windows 8.1 Update Core and Pro edition Retail

Hi
In the Windows 8.1 Pro Update DVD
Retail , there is also the Core
edition? If so, how do I
choose it?
Thanks

Hi,
No, If you buy the Windows 8.1 pro, it just for Windows 8.1 pro edition. Windows 8.1 core is Windows 8.1 edition actually.
You could compare them as the following article:

Mackbook pro trackpad not responsive

Hi, today my macbook pro started to open windows on it's own. I've tried to use different mouse. I thought the problem is in trackpad, but it's same. It woudl open windows and move screen. Could someone please give me and advice? May be I should re-install Operating System? How can I do that? And what if the problem is not solved? Many thanks in advance.

Remove the batteries from the trackpad and test with the mouse. Any difference?

Macbook Pro Trackpad issues

Macbook Pro 15" Early 2011 Model
Issues on trackpad, able to right click and left click.. Just that trackpad is not responding... Tried SMC, PRAM still didn't work.
But magically it will work after each restart for 15minutes and it will go insane.. help please!

Update the actual click is now not working as great as it used to?

Bootcamp 3.1 and imac windows 7 64bit update not installing. Audio issues!

After many days of work getting the windows 7 working in bootcamp in my imac 27 (still with audio issues) I eagerly awaited the bootcamp update and imac updates.
Neither will install.
Then I find that according to tech support as of now I have to reinstall Windows 7 again for the updates to work!
It took me 5 full 8 hours days to get all my scientific programs installed and working, now I find I can't even simply update the drivers I need. I don't want to reinstall.
My only issues are audio.
Here they are:
1) The headset jack works fine on the Mac side, but in Windows 7, it causes the i7 intel CPU to go crazy. There is no CPU spike on the mac side.
2) The headset jack in the imac is a trrs jack. The same as in the iphone, a tri-band jack that has three bands, two audio out channels and one mic in channel. A trrs headset works fine on the mac side with using the headset mic (as in iphone) rather than the built in mic. (this provides much better quality for sound recording). I don't want to use a usb mike.
In Windows 7 the mic part of the trrs headset does not work.
3) In Windows 7 when going into audio devices recording, no audio mixer shows up, so when I do video or audio screen capture the only way to capture the sound is through the speakers and then back through the imac built in mic, rather than directly through the unit. (terrible sound quality) On the mac side the mixer element works fine.
Now I find from other imac users that even the new updates for the imac on windows 7 don't address and fix the audio issues. I am sure not going to go through 5 more days work only to find the audio issues still don't work.
I need these audio aspects to work properly though!
I have tried to get drivers for the cirrus logic audio card, but guess what there are none available and cirrus logic doesn't even recognize the board or offer drivers.
I have many windows programs I must have for my scientific research!I bought the top of the line Imac with all the bells and whistles because Apple promised that the machine could run Windows 7 in bootcamp natively!
It doesn't. This has been a nightmare of problems.
Is Apple going to step up to the plate and make good on their promises?
Does any one have a fix for any of the audio issues, or know how to install the new drivers without a complete reinstall of Windows?
Installing a few sound drivers and software should not require a complete reinstall. Getting the proper drivers for the headset jack audio in and audio out jack should be the most basic of fixes. Making the audio mixer work should be elementary.
If you are an Apple tech person or an Apple user that can help on these issues, please do!
Thanks, Dr. Duke

PS I will post this under Imac windows 7 updates without a reinstall and under
imac Sound issues.

On another thread a few people have responded saying that their imac has the same situation, the cpu is going crazy and the imac gets hot with headphones or speakers plugged in. But this doesn't happen in the mac side.
If you have an late 2009 imac and don't have these audio issues, let us hear from you. If you don't, lay out the problem here.
Here is my last two cents in to the inquiry.
Not only does the cpu run crazy but the imac 27 gets very, very hot. Since I unplugged the headphones, it runs much, much cooler.
Certainly, some Mac engineers should take care of this problem, it seems it is universal on all the imac 27's and from what I gather, the smaller screened cousins too.
Also, we certainly want a stereo mix option for audio in or out, or what is called "what you hear" or wave out. Imac is supposed to be much geared to multimedia apps.
Finally, the mic jack part of the trrs set up MUST be fixed! A lot of manufacturers are going to headset combo jacks as they call them, mic in and stereo out on the same tribanded plug. But, the old single jack for mic in and single jack for stereo out are two tiny parts of the hardware and super inexpensive for the manufacturer. Why in the **** to go to the "advanced" triplug if the **** thing doesn't work.
Mac has a great reputation. I hope they remedy these problems right away.
Anyone whose imac 27 or 24 whose headset plug is working correctly. Let us know! I don't think anyone's is, but I think that few people understand that their cpu is running so much faster with the plug in, plus few even understand the combo jack and the triband, or trrs audio jack! Out of 4 audio technicians I talked to, not one of them knew what a trrs jack was or that you even have a mic in jack as part of the headset jack!
When I told one senior that it worked on the Mac side, he didn't believe for a while, thought my sound might be recorded from the onboard mic, but I proved it to him by tapping iaudibly on my iphone mic headset and and it showing up in garage band clearly and listening to big difference in audio.
As for a usb audio adapter, I am in a neon light environment and find that those adapters are more sensitive to electrical interference. Besides I want to use the headset jack as it was meant to be used!
Thats it.
Again, if anyone using an imac 27 and windows 7 64 or 32 doesnt have these problems, let us know! We are all anxious for a fix!
Best to all!

Windows 8.1 - Update consideration, resources, and known issues - You lost a customer

I bought my Ideapad U460s 2 years ago. Lenovo appears to be failing to provide support for Windows 8. Ridiculous. You have lost a customer and I will share this info with friends and family.
There have been no updates to the drivers or other software for my laptop. I had to download the fignerprint reader driver from another laptop to fix it when I recieved my laptop.
poor customer service will killa c ompany.

Installed Windows 8.1 on Retina Macbook Pro - Many issues

I just recently downloaded the Windows 8.1 .iso file from Microsoft's website. My school got it for me and other members of my club for free so I don't have any install disks or anything like that. I used the Bootcamp Assistant to burn the .iso file to an external hard drive, let it install, and started it up. I'm running it on a mid-2012 15" retina Macbook Pro. Here are some problems I'm encountering. If anyone could help solve any of them, It'd be greatly appreciated.
First off, when I set the resolution to 2880x1800, most windows and icons are sized normally. However, the taskbar is absolutely tiny and some text (like the desktop icon text) is also very small. Any other resolution makes everything look distorted and blurry.
I can't connect to the internet. It doesn't detect any wireless networks at all even though I know there are many in the area.
The sound only works through headphones. Not through the speakers.
Some text is crisp and clear (like menu titles) but other times it's very pixelated.
Thanks for any help!

MacBook Pro Trackpad Issue

I have a 13' MacBook Pro purchased in late spring of 2010 and I've had no problems with it until now. A few days ago I noticed the cursor being really unresponsive to my movements and just moving erratically around the screen when I tried to do anything. When I don't touch the cursor it will even move and jump around on a horizontal line on the screen. The problem is on and off, becoming more prevelent. I took it to the Apple store today (where of course it was working fine) and they replaced some wires of some kind, but when I got home the problem remained. I've given it a really thorough clean with one of those computer cleaning wipes so humidity/grease is not the issue either I don't think. I think it's mourning Steve Job's. Any ideas before I take it back to the 'genius' bar?

Just wondering if you solved your problem with your trackpad because my MacBook Pro is starting to do the same thing. It's starting to drive me a bit crazy because it will randomly highlight or click and open things if I am close. I was thinking of even resetting my computer to the factory settings, but I can't find my OS disk

Windows 8.1 Update and the EI.cfg file

Hi
I have noticed that, installing Windows 8.1 Update Core or Pro with the Multiple Editions MSDN iso, I see, with the slmgr.vbs /dli command, that its distribution channel is Retail. If, however, I add the EI.cfg file
[Channel]
Retail
[VL]
0
in sources directory of the iso using Windows ADK for Windows 8.1 Update, the distribution channel becomes Volume. How come?
Where am I wrong?
Thanks
Bye
Balubeto

Since the Windows Update 8.1 Update (Multiple Editions) MSDN iso includes the retail editions of the Core and Professional, how I should do to change this iso so that, during the installation, allow me to choose which edition to install?
In addition, I would include in this iso my two serial numbers of installation (one for the Core and the other for the Professional) so that I should not insert any serial number during installation.
So, what should I do to reach my goal?
Thanks
Bye

Hi Buterem,
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your MacBook Pro since your recent Yosemite update. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. If you are having intermittent but persistent responsiveness issues with your mouse or trackpad, you may want to try using Activity Monitor to see if these incidents correspond to occupied system resources, especially system memory or CPU. You may find the following article helpful:
How to use Activity Monitor - Apple Support
If the entire system hangs or locks up (for example, if the system clock freezes and stops counting up), you may also be experiencing some variety of Kernel Panic. If that is the case, you may also find this article useful:

Can anyone answer why in logic pro X I keep getting a window popping up that says Directory not found, result code= -120, followed by another window saying, Fade update failed, (error -120)?

Can anyone answer, why in Logic Pro X I keep on getting a window popping up saying, Directory not found, result code = -120. Followed by another window saying, Fade update failed, (error -120)?
I am running the latest version 10.0.5 through a Macbook Pro that has just been upgraded to 16GB Ram and a 960GB SSD which has made it as fast as ****. I upgraded because I was experiencing problems before and it was suggested that I didn't have enough Ram?
I am using a Focusrite scarlett 2i4 and an Alesis Q61 midi controller. Weirdly, just trying to put a bass line down on a track using the Alesis, the bass sound goes out of tune with the track during recording only. This is very frustrating! I surely can't be the only one experiencing this?
Many thanks
Rob.

Hi
Time lost could be a problem, but.....
Sadly, I don't think that there are any Apple docs relating to networked storgae issues with Logic. Other than a 'school' or 'business' setup, NAS/OD/AD setups are not usual circumstances for audio.
If the issue is one of data backup & security, it may be enough to automatically backup the students local work folders to the NAS.
If the issue is one of the Users being able to work from any Mac and pick up their files from the server, you are not likely to resolve this problem, without copying the files to the Local Mac.

If you already have an older version of Flash Player, open the Preference pane and select Check Now... under the Update portion under the General tab:
You shouldn't have to install a new version from the website (I'm not even sure if you can) if you've already installed Flash Player.
