Boot Camp installation knocks out my network connection in OS X?

I've tried doing an installation of Windows XP in Boot Camp on two different occasions, and both times have resulted in the same odd finding: the network settings in OS X are altered or affected and I can no longer get the computer to connect to any network, either wireless or through ethernet. I can't see anything noticeably different in the settings, but nothing seems to be able to get it to connect. The only thing that has saved me has been doing a restore from Time Machine to right before the Boot Camp install. It makes no sense to me what might be happening here and I haven't found other reports of this. Anyone have any ideas?
(If it makes any difference, when I got the new MacBook, I did a migration of a 10.4 system from my PowerBook G4 and sometimes wonder if something weird was inherited from that... but that is just a pure guess in the dark. And since, I've had the WIndows 7 beta and RC running in Parallels and Fusion with no problems. But I'd like the Boot Camp option.)

Free space? 15GB or more free.
chkdsk comes up clean?
cleaned out temp/tmp and cache?
Programs can be repaired right from the control panel "Programs"
Go into Services to check properties and make sure Apple Mobile, Bonjour, iPod etc are all set to running and automatic. I have to restart all of those usually to get my iPod to connect.
Windows 7 DVD to check for system repairs.
Windows system restore image

  • Boot Camp Installation: Definition of, and insights into "External Drives"?

    I'm recovering from a logic board failure. One casualty was that I lost my prior Boot Camp installation of Windows on my main internal hard drive. :-( Wondering if I can install Windows anywhere other than the main internal hard drive so I can maximize space on my OSX main internal drive?
    From what I've gathered, installing Windows 7 Boot Camp is very difficult (and perhaps impossible?) on an external hard drive. However, what's not entirely clear is what constitutes an "external drive".
    Questions:
    1. Can I install a bootable installation of Windows 7 using Boot Camp (obviously not running OSX in this scenario) on either the:
         A) Data Doubler 7,200 drive
    or
         B) Express Card 34 SSD drive
    2. Can I also install Parallels (on the main internal OSX drive), then while in OSX launch (a much slower) Windows from location A or B?
    Context:
    1.  On a late 2011 MBP 17' (version 8,3), I've replaced the stock hard drive (7,200 rpm) with a much faster OWC SSD Drive. (Awesome upgrade, btw!)
    2. The internal apple dvd device was removed and the stock hard drive was inserted in this location using OWC Data Doubler. (Also, very nice.) An extra challenge here is that the dvd drive is now an external device. I have a Windows 7 install disc, but I'm not sure if it will be recognized during the installation process?
    3. This model MBP has an ExpressCard 34 slot, for which I can buy an SSD drive. Never used this slot and have read mixed reports on boot ability.
    Any and all insights greatly appreciated!

    Many thanks for the helpful response, Loner T.  I think I've got it. To install Windows through BCA on the Optibay drive, I temporarily move it to the main SATA bay. I can then temporarily put the DVD drive back in the Optibay. So here's a question: In doing this, I would no longer have an OSX boot drive (since I'm temporarily removing my OSX boot SSD). It's been a while since I used BCA, so my memory is fuzzy (sorry), but does the BCA process need a working OSX install on the drive in the SATA bay?
    The SSD with OSX boot is normally (for your specific scenario) kept in an external enclosure (USB/FW/TB) to boot from and run BC and partition the disk in the main SATA bay.
    You mention that modifying the BC info.plist causes issues. I lost you a little here. Using the method you describe (move the Optibay drive to the SATA location, run BCA to install Windows, then move the drive back to the Optibay location), does the BC info.plist need to be modified or not?  If yes, a few more details would be welcomed. If not, what prompted this thought?
    If you have a functional Optical drive and the designated Windows-to-be in the proper bays, the BC info.plist modifications are unnecessary, and can cause other grief, and are best avoided.
    Thanks also for the bleeptobleep post. It says to use a USB3/Thunderbolt external drive (which I do have); however, my MBP (version 8,3) only has USB2 ports. I realize that a USB2 port will read a USB3 external drive, but was wondering if this limitation is a deal breaker for a bootable Windows system, or if it just means that things will be really, really, tragically slow due to low transfer rates. Any idea on this aspect?
    USB3 can cause problems for Windows 7 installer, bot not as many issues for Windows 8+. It is better to stick to USB2, but you are correct it will be slow. OSX can boot and will use RAM much more aggressively, unless it has to go back to the USB (2/3) when things may give you a beach ball. Windows 7/8 are less friendly for caching the whole OS and applications in RAM, and may be slower. A TB connection is much faster (TB2 even better).
    BTW: Bummer that the ExpressCard slot can't work for booting into Windows. That would be pretty slick. I've seen some older posts by folks who were once able to do this, but seemingly only with early versions of OSX. Apparently newer OSX versions either did away with this feature, or seriously complicated the process. Would love to find a workaround if one exists.
    You can test it, but may have some issues finding storage for ECards.

  • How To Stop After Effects From Knocking Out My Internet Connection As It Is Downloading?

    Greetings,
    Yesterday, January 20, 2015, I purchased an annual subscription to After Effects.  And, after numerous attempts at downloading the software with the same abysmal results, I am now going to the forums for a possible remedy.  Everything goes well in beginning my download, including getting my McAfee Anti-virus program to accept Adobe Creative Cloud, however after a few minutes, the download process knocks out my Internet connection, forcing me to re-boot.  I do receive two back-to-back error messages; none of which are listed by Adobe set of error messages in their FAQ section.
    The first one reads:  "Core: Creative Cloud - Application Error.  The instruction at 0x100014a0 referenced memory at 0x100014a0.  The memory could not be written."  The second error message is likened to the first, only with a different number...
    "94% Complete: explorer.exe - Application Error.  The instruction at 0x80001610 referenced memory at 0x80001610.  The memory could not be written."
    Finally, do you know if I can bypass all of this trouble by having Adobe After Effects disks shipped to me?  Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
    Joy in the Lord,
    A. Landis Jones

    Greetings,
    And thank you both, Mylenium & Dave.  After I compose this note, I am going to mark your answers as correct.  I just wanted to write this qualifier, first.  I tried to do as both of you suggested, however, I could not figure out how to disable McAfee Anti-Virus.  I did manage to turn off McAfee Firewall.  And when that was done, I tried to download After Effects.  However, that trick did not work the first couple of times I tried it.  A few re-boots later, After Effects (as well as some unknown program I did not expect called Media Encoder) finally downloaded on my computer.
    After I began this thread, I recalled that, oftentimes, when I view YouTube videos online, the same thing happens - my Internet connection gets disrupted.  Then I remembered that the trouble began when my computer crashed and I tried to re-install Windows 8.1 Pro.  So, maybe that is the real culprit - my system crash, that is.  A little while ago, I tested viewing YouTube videos to no avail.  So, I am suspecting that your solution to turn off my anti-virus (in my case, my firewall) did the trick, and I thank you two, Mylenium & Dave, mightily.
    May you have many blessings.
    Joy in the Lord,

  • Help evaluating complex boot camp installation

    I need to do a bit tricky boot camp installation, and would appreciate if somebody could evaluate before hands whether the plan outlined below should work, or if i should try some different approach:
    Current setup is Tiger with two OS X partitions (16gb root, rest mounted under /Users)
    Desired setup is Tiger with two OS X partitions, AND a Windows Vista partition.
    Plan is:
    - Make disk image of the current (Tiger) root partition, and backup of /Users
    - Boot from install DVD, re-partition the internal disk to single partition, restore the disk image to the single partition
    - Upgrade to Leopard
    - Install Boot Camp and Windows Vista
    - Use 'diskutility resizeVolume' to split the Leopard partition to two
    - Overwrite the first partition with the original Tiger disk image
    - Restore Data to the second partition
    How about? Will Boot Camp continue to operate when i overwrite Leopard system with the Tiger disk image, and when i split the single partition to two pieces? Or is there some other recommended way for doing this?
    Thanks,
    Henri Karapuu

    'diskutility resizeVolume' should had naturally been 'disktool'. Also sorry about the layout, for some reason single dashes in front of each line got eaten.

  • Windows 7 Pro not finding network connections after boot camp installation. Is there something special we have to do to get the network (wired and wireless) set up?

    Any suggestions for getting the network connections working on Windows 7 Pro running on a Mac Min with OSX Lion?

    If you haven't yet installed the Windows Support Software, that's probably why, so install it now.

  • MacBook Pro 13" Late 2011 Experiencing Significant Slow Down After Boot Camp Installation

         Okay, so today, after installing Windows 7 on my MacBook Pro via Bootcamp Assistant, I experienced significant performance slow down (fans going at full blast, applications opening after extended periods of time, keystrokes not being registered) when I returned to my OS X partition/second hard drive. I have dual hard drives, one of them being a Samsung 256 GB SSD with OS X Mavericks and the other being my original 500 GB HDD, divided into a 250 GB OS X Mavericks partition and a 250 GB Windows partition. I have the SSD set as my startup disk and I have it located in the main HDD bay. I moved the old HDD into a caddy and placed it where the optical drive normally should be.
          After multiple failed attempts to install Windows via USB and Bootcamp Assistant, I decided to reinstall my optical drive and use a Windows installation disk. This attempt proved successful, and I was able to install Windows 7 onto the 250 GB partition I had created for it on the 500 GB HDD. After completing basic setup of Windows, I removed the optical disk drive and reinstalled the SSD and the HDD into their original spots (SSD in the main HDD bay, HDD in the caddy where the optical drive normally is).
         After completing this tedious process, I booted my Mac back up using the SSD. However, I noticed something was wrong when the login screen, apps, and nearly everything else on my desktop had slowed to crawl. I decided to check my Activity Monitor to see what the problem might be. Activity Monitor told me that the task "kernel_task" was taking up anywhere from 200-600% of my CPU, which explained the slowdown in performance. I looked around to see if there were others with the same problem as me, and I found that Spotlight Indexing might be an issue, with a potential remedy being move my Bootcamp Partition into the Privacy section of Spotlight under System Preferences. After doing that, I experienced no increase in performance and everything was still going very slowly.
         The next step I took was to see if booting into Safe Mode would help the issue. After booting into Safe Mode on my SSD, I noticed that things were back to their normal speeds, with applications opening at the speed they should be and keystrokes being registered instantaneously. However, the fans were still going and had not shut off once booting into Safe Mode. In addition, I checked Activity Monitor and the "kernel_task" in question was no longer taking up massive amounts of the CPU.
         At this point, I don't know what to do and I need help in restoring my Mac to original speeds. I may end up deleting my Boot Camp partition as a last measure if all else fails, seeing as I installed Windows in the first place for running a few programs and games that I can live without. However, I'd prefer to not have things come to that and fix things before deleting the Boot Camp Partition. I've heard that if everything runs normally in Safe Mode, then the issue is third-party software. Is this true?
         Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am writing this from the MacBook in question in Safe Mode because it's essentially useless in normal SSD operation.

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    Don't be put off merely by the seeming complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the behest of a stranger. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
    Paste into the window of another application.
    Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
    4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    7. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
    [Process completed]
    to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
    11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start Time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.

  • Cinema DIsplay sleeps when I use Boot Camp with Radeon 5870 through DVI connection

    I just created a bootcamp partition on my Mac Pro (1,1) with Radeon 5870 and XP Professional so I can play Train Simulator 2012 with maxed out settings. Well after hours of installing Windows XP and updating it (via Parallels so I could do other things while waiitng for Windows) I got Train Simulator 2012 installed, Windows XP Professional fully upto date and reboot to bootcamp. I see the Windows screen and then my monitor goes to sleep (best guess). I am using an Apple Cinema Display 20" and is of course connected to the DVI port. One guess (and I hope I am totally wrong about this) is I think I remember reading the DVI port id display 3 not 1. I hope this isn't the problem (requiring me to buy a $40 Mini Display port for DVI adapter.
    Any ideas as to why this is happening? I was so looking forward to playing Train Simulator with maxed out graphics via Boot Camp with the Radeon 5870 1GB. Don't get me started as to why my line out is not being detected by XP Pro.
    I also have the latest Bootcamp drivers for XP (3.2).

    Never used XP and on Mac Pro I wanted to use all 4-cores and more than 1.9GB RAM but often it seems that in the past and with Fusion anyway you would need to install Windows updates and drivers natively not thru or in the VM.

  • Boot Camp Windows 8.1 WiFi Internet Connectivity

    I have a MacBook Pro (Mid 2012) running Yosemite, and I have installed Windows 8.1 via Boot Camp.
    Most everything on my Windows OS works well, but I'm hitting an odd problem with the Internet connectivity. Sometimes, I can only get to certain sites in Internet Explorer, and NOT through Firefox or Chrome. And now, after initially installing a few days ago, I can no longer connect to the Internet via my Evernote, Dropbox, or Git apps.
    Has anyone else out there experienced something similar? It could be that this is just a Windows issue and I need to post a similar query elsewhere, but I thought I would start here. I don't see any errors anywhere in my Device Manager, and I even manually added Evernote to list of apps that is supposed to be able to access the Internet via a private connection, but still no joy.

    1. Your MBA does not support EFI/Free Space method.
    2. You need to ensure that your USB is a USB2 device.
    3. The MBR should be checked, because there are known cases where BCA fails to create the MBR.

  • A few questions about Boot Camp: installation, performance, which Win OS?

    Hello.
    I am planning on getting a windows OS. My main motives for this are because I would like to get some PC only games (I've been eyeing that Fallout 3 Game of the Year Edition that is soon to come out) and because there is a good chance that I will need some PC only programs for my college work. I just had a few questions before I did anything. Note: I am running 10.5.8 now but getting 10.6 soon.
    1. According to wikipedia: "Its functionality relies on BIOS emulation through EFI and a partition table information synchronization mechanism between GPT and MBR combined". The only word I understood of that sentence was "emulation." I know that emulation software significantly reduces performance. Is this true for boot camp? (say i were to get the exact same game for both mac and windows and set them to the exact same performance settings, when playing on windows, would there be more lag than on OS X?)
    2. Which Windows OS should I get? Since I am just going to be using Boot Camp to run games and a few other programs, would XP be the best to get to optimize the application's performance (as opposed to Win 7)?
    3. How complex is installation? I am a decent Mac techie, but this is my first time with boot camp, and I am a Windows noobie.
    4. There seems to be a lot of talk about partitions. What exactly is a partition? I have some theories, but want to know for sure.

  • Need to repair boot camp installation on each sleep/reboot

    I Have a Mid-2009 Apple Macbook Pro computer with Windows 7 installed on it.  I use the Boot Camp drivers version 3.2.  These days i have an issue: every time I put the computer to sleep or reboot it, the boot camp drivers go faulty; the special keys stop working, the keyboard baklight stops working and every setting in the boot camp control panel goes to default.  The only solution to this is to use the BC 3.0 installer to repair.  Any ideas on how this problem might be resolved?

    Ok, here was the rundown of my situation, and the solution:
    I partitioned the disk through Bootcamp, tried to install Windows, and got to the point where it asks which partition to install on. It showed one with about 130GB, and that was ALL. So I backed out. Upon reboot, I tried to get back into the Mac OS by holding the Option key, and it wouldn't show me the option to go back - just the boot disk, and the Windows HDD (on which there was nothing yet, and which disappeared as an option on the next reboot).
    In speaking to the support line, I formatted my hard drive re-installed, and we suspected the problem was due to the 10GB partition I created - apparently Windows XP needs 15GB to install itself. Maybe it just picked the wrong partition and screwed it up?
    I tried the process again, same thing happened. I called the support line again, got someone different, and was informed of my real problem:
    ------I was using a Windows XP disk I had received with my PC when I bought it a few years ago (an OEM Windows XP disk)-------
    Apparently you can't do that for some reason! I was told that my partitioning was ok, and it was the copy of Windows that was screwed up, and I would have to go buy a new version (which I'm not going to do).
    Before trying Boot Camp, I had this exact copy of Windows installed through Parallels, and it worked fine - I just stupidly decided to make the switch to Boot Camp and all **** broke lose. Back to Parallels!

  • Enormous frustration over Boot Camp installation of Win 7 64bit

    Please help, I am totally frustrated after days and days of trying to install windows 7 on my iMac 11,2  (21.5”, i3, mid 2010).
    So, my super drive is dead and currently I don’t have an option to replace it. I recently upgraded my OS to 10.8.3. Because my iMac is having an optical drive, in Boot Camp Assistant there was a grayed out option to create bootable USB drive. I edited info.plist file, so I finally got that option right, but no metter what, I can’t boot Windows 7 64bit installation. I’ve tried numerous ways to do that. I tried standard create USB in Boot Camp assistant, I’ve tried Windows download DVD/USB tool, I’ve tried Rufus, BootInIc, I’ve tried more than 10 different Kingston/Verbatim/No name/Corsair/Patriot USB sticks, I’ve tried several WD/Toshiba/Transcend/Silicon Power external drives formatted both fat32 and NTFS (when formatting external drive in fat32, I was reducing the external drive’s size with diskpart/create partition primary commands in windows. EVERY SINGLE TIME after partitioning the hard drive in Boot Camp Assistant, my computer restarts and there was a “No bootable device” screen. I’ve than tried Refit, there I get an option to boot from external drives/usb sticks, but than after clicking on a boot windows from USB I also get the “no bootable device” screen. I’ve tried naming sticks different (because some people are saying that it must be named WININSTALL, but without any success)
    Thank you very very much in advance, currently I don’t know what to do next.

    If your iMac came with an internal optical drive you can not use the USB port to install Windows. Get the optical drive fixed.

  • Vista Blue Screen after Successful Boot Camp installation (32 and 64 bit)

    OK so there are a number of people with issues relating to the BSoD after a successful (or not) implemetation of Bot Camp and Windows XP and/or Vista. One of the identified problems relates to the NVIDIA GEforce 9600m GT display driver which crashes out AFTER windows performs its update routine.
    Having removed and installed the partition (to ensure a clean install each time), the inescapable conclusion is that the NVIDIA driver is to blame for the crash dump, but it is one of the many MS updates that is the root cause of the failure. If you do a clean install of Vista 32 or 64 Ultimate and install the Boot Camp 2.1 (build 1256) and DO NOT allow updates, the system is not only stable, it runs like a train!
    I have Contacted AppleCare about this (as my new MBP is only a few days old) and they have not even heard of the problems. NVIDIA have obviously got issues with something as the driver has been updated to a BETA on their web site, but this will not work on a Mac as it cannot seem to find the hardware to allow the update to complete.
    If (like me) you have bought an MBP for support issues for both Mac and Windows users, this is a showstopper and one that is about to cause me to ask for my money back. So far, the nice shiny and new MBP is back in its box pending a 140 mile trip back to Exeter from whence it came.
    SHARK!

    Boot Camp was a response to public challenges at the time to see who could find how to install Windows on a Mac - which is totally okay thing.
    Then you want Apple to do more than any normal PC vendor selling a laptop where people have to do things like deal with BIOS, drivers and all the things you have had to deal with, for Windows.
    I'm not disagreeing, let alone arguing, I agree that hardware abstraction layer type stuff Apple would need to do. But I don't think Apple needs to do more than get Windows installed. Drivers, AV, and all the stuff that comes with Windows doesn't change. But it should not BSOD when you install something you are told you need.
    I wouldn't be surprised though to see Windows 7 eventually support Apple hardware out of the box so to speak.
    Cookie cutter answers are part of today's customer experience "level one" is no level at all, but a lot of times - and it takes a lot of work - to translate feedback and problems into "cook book" before you get to the troubleshooting (level 2 and above).
    Which is why I read sites like MacIntouch; subscribe to MacFixit (tons of articles on a CD along with shareware). And books.
    Nvidia has terrible drivers in OS X on the Mac Pro (workstation) while ATI has had very good drivers and OpenGL support.
    I prefer to have more choice and freedom when it comes to drivers. As for engineering and how things get qualified (use to see even SCSI hard drives had to be qualified for both the OS; the controller to be used; driver version; firmware; etc).
    What I see is the first shipped BIOS/EFI firmware on any device or system is not the one you want.
    Back in the 70's I was introduced to "bleeding edge" but we would get premiere on-site support if we were willing to install, adopt, some new IBM service, software/hardware. And sometimes we were there on Sunday on holiday weekends.
    One person just could NOT after doing everything under the sun, get Adobe CS4 to install on their new $5000 Mac Pro 2009. Got a new system, worked perfectly.
    In 2008 Early Mac Pro, most all systems would freeze on wake from sleep. Took two months before an EFI update was issued that cured the problem. There is/was also a problem with "inrush current" and PSU.
    I had Blue Screen with Vista. Repeatedly.
    At first I thought it was a new MICROSOFT 4000 keyboard.
    Later I wondered if it was my Apple OEM Nvida 7300GT (and some are failing but it worked in OS X) so I bought 2nd, a PC 8600GTS.
    And pull 3rd party PCI Express controllers (FW800, SATA 1x, SATA 8x cards).
    Came away and thought "oh, it was the 3rd party card" when that seemed to work.
    Around the same time I had bought a new WD Caviar 750GB SATA drive.
    It was that drive that would cause problems with Vista after the install.
    I thought it was something in Microsoft Windows Update that was causing my personal ****, not my equipment. And MS for their drivers. Somebody else's.
    And mind you, I would go through install half a dozen times, try installing Boot Camp before updates, after updates, not at all, add AV software.
    I finally -- after a full year -- learned a lot (don't learn from things just working and I still say it has always been "Plug and Pray" PnP ) things work. I know the frustration and aggravation and the wish that things were different somehow.
    The BSODs that I got were not from Apple Boot Camp. I even ran my system w/o Boot Camp for six months. And this time, with Win7, everything worked fine, wake, sleep, networking, no need for Apple drivers. At all.
    I hang out on a forum where people build their own, X58 board, Intel Core i7, eVGA graphics. And how to get even DDR3 to work, and then how to get the most out of and push it to the extreme, then throttle back a notch.
    The nice thing about that is you learn from it, like you do from racing and sports, to build a better mousetrap.
    Nvidia is bleeding. Even as they and ATI want to stay on leading edge. Intel is contracting (even as they have their best cpu technology ever coming out) and costs that should go into R&D may be harder to "justify" or all the prototype programmers engineers and testing labs. Everything is more commoditized than ever.
    Bottom line: I have Leopard 10.5.6. It has Boot Camp 2.1.2 version, later than the 2.1 download. And there has not been a single update posted online. But my original Leopard DVD 10.5.0 has the SAME contents packaged as 2.0 as were in the 1.4 Beta. I spend $129 for a new DVD to get the latest drivers. Make sense?? of course not.
    Oh, and my Mac with 64-bit hardware, cpu, the EFI BIOS is 32-bit so no official support from Apple to install BC 2.1.2 or use Vista 64-bit. Snow Leopard will be 64-bit kernel, require and enforce 64-bit drivers. Should be interesting. Because technically, and logic, would say I don't have a true 64-bit BIOS environment.
    Got an iMac? not supported with 64-bit. MacBook 2008 had 64-bit support, but not the "Late 2008" there you need MacBook Pro. And yet everyone wants to address more than 2GB (Apple EFI32 allows access to 3.3GB on some, 1.9GB on others, and in my Mac Pro? limited to 1.9GB memory in Windows.... so you know I don't want to run a Xeon workstation in Windows 32-bit.

  • Apple Update screwed up my boot camp installation

    Hey all -- I just installed boot camp 2.0 via Leopard (fresh, not an update) for the first time the other day. I installed XP SP2. For the first day or two, everything worked fine. Then I got a popup notice from Apple Update that offered updates for Quicktime, iTunes and Apple Boot Camp Drivers. I accepted the updates, and then afterwards things started going haywire. Now I can't use Firefox at all. It won't connect to any websites. Internet Explorer will get on the internet, but won't allow me to use any services where I have to sign in, such as this support site, iGoogle, etc. It even refuses some connections from various websites when trying to download other drivers. I've lowered all the privacy and security restrictions and turned off all anti-virus and firewall programs and still nothing. Apple Update won't even work anymore. Also, now my audio will only come out of my internal speakers, whereas before I had no problem with plugging in my old Creative Labs speakers into the rear audio line out port and getting audio through them. This is really, really frustrating. I hate Windows in general, but this is really making me start to dislike Apple too. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    I would try reinstalling the Apple drivers off of the Leopard CD, but if you can, back up any application data you want. In the end you may have to reinstall Windows.

  • Boot Camp assistant times out when supposed to download BC files

    Hello,
    I am helping a friend that need a Boot Camp (BC for short) partition on his DualCore iMac. But as we run BC assistant, it never finds the localized BC installation-files to use after we have installed win7 x64 on it.
    1. Note that he has his original install-CD´s "somewhere" (read: nowhere to be found).
    2. Due to compatibility-issues with some of the installed software - he has chosen to continue to run on 10.6 (Snow Leopard)
    3. The internet works 100% with no restrictions and all other downloads and update works while BC assistant does not.
    Even though we never got the BC-package - we managed to download a heapfull of updates (that all aquire previous version to be installed).
    We still installed the Win7 x64 and even though most of it still works off the shelf (network, graphics etc.) - I would prefer to have the proper BC-package installed.
    Is there no way to download a BC 3.3 full install - or is it possible to run 4.0 on a 10.6-system?
    I boils down to:
    * Where can I get/download a Win7 x64 BC 3.3 full install? (or at least a full 3.0, since I got the 3.2 and 3.3 updates)
    * Or can someone verify that I can use BC 4.0 on a Snow Leopard 10.6-system (and where do I get that one then)?
    It would be nice for me to have in any case, since I help a lot of people with their computers (both Apple, Windows and Linux) - and sometimes offline.
    Thank you in advance for your time and effort!
    Best regards,
    /Fredrik

    Thank you for your feedback!
    Choice 1 - After trying 12 times over the course of 2hrs, I gave up...
    Choice 2 - This will be a choice even if I get this settled
    Choice 3 - Will try and find my own (also in a box somewhere) or ask other contacts with simular configuration and borrow their disks (which sort of voids choice 4)
    Now I just need to continue the search on choice 2...
    Cheers

  • Power Failure: Boot Camp Installation gone horribly wrong

    Was in the middle of the Windows installation part of the Boot Camp setup, and our building had a brief power failure. The Mac went dark. Upon reboot, it boots to a white screen but progresses no farther. The Windows XP install disk is still in the SuperDrive.
    1. Partition was created successfully by Boot Camp Assistant
    2. Windows installation had started, and was in the process of reformatting the partition to NTFS when the power failed.
    3. iMac boots to white screen and stops.
    I assume I need to get the WinXP disk out so I can boot from the OS X disk, but it isn't patently obvious how to do this without an OS interface. No hole to poke in a paperclip a la Windows drives.

    Tried with no progress: still stuck at WSOD (white screen of death).
    1) Booting with the Install Disk 1 in the SuperDrive while holding down the C key.
    2) Booting while holding down the Command + Option + O + F keys
    3) Booting while holding down the Command + Option + P + R keys
    4) Booting while holding down the X key
    5) Booting while holding down the Option key (this generates a non-functioning mouse pointer on the WSOD, which is more than anything else has done).
    I have held down the keys in the following orders:
    a) Before I push the power button
    b) As soon as I push the power button
    c) As soon as I hear the Mac chime
    I have released the keys in the following orders:
    a) As soon as the white screen appears following the chime.
