I just installed Bootcamp and Windows 7 on my MacBook Pro (13 inch, 2010), and booted into the OS. The keyboard and mouse worked fine, but because there were no drivers, things like multitouch and the two-finger mouse click didn't work – this is as expected.
I have a 2010 Macbook Pro with Snow Leopard (10.6.8) installed and couldn't get the right Boot Camp upgrade using any of the Apple download software from within the bootcamp Application. After installing this Update/Upgrade suddenly all of the required drivers appeared in the Windows 'Device manager' and everything started working perfectly.
I went back into OS X Lion and downloaded the Windows Support package to my thumb drive, rebooted, and installed the driver package and the Boot Camp Control Panel. After I had restarted, my keyboard wasn't working.
- If you have a macOS DMG, you can create bootable USB disk from a Windows PC — use a software like TransMac for this purpose. Clean installing or restoring a Mac offline with USB pen drive As said earlier, you could use the macOS USB installer to do a clean install or restore it upon a boot failure.
- To explore the Boot Camp Assistant User Guide, click Table of Contents at the top of the page, or enter a word or phrase in the search field. If you need more help, visit the Boot Camp Support website.
- The Boot Camp 3.3 update includes critical bug fixes and hardware support. It is recommended for all Boot Camp 3.2 users. The update weighs in at 199.75 MB and requires Windows 7 (32 bit or 64 bit.
The weird thing is, the F-keys do work and function correctly (brightness, volume, etc). If I change those keys to perform the F-key functions in the control panel (ie. require holding Fn+F1 to change brightness), the F-keys work correctly.
Any of the keys below the F-key row do not work at all. They don't type anything, no matter what program I am in. The Caps Lock key does light up when I toggle it on and off.
I've tried going into the Device Manager and uninstalling the Keyboard driver and then scanning for hardware changes (which reinstalls the Apple Keyboard driver), I've uninstalled and deleted the driver (and then reinstalled it from the package in the WindowsSupport folder), and nothing is working. The keyboard appears as the Apple Keyboard in the device manager. The trackpad and everything works fine as well.
I checked the Language settings and it is set to United States (English).
Is there anything else I can try to get the keyboard working?
