Bootcamp tray icon missing win7 64bit

I am using mavericks 10.9.2 with bootcamp and win7 ultimate 64bit, after windows update the driver, the system tray icon for bootcamp is not there anymore.
I just go to control panel and click bootcamp to choose osx again.
but how can i fix the tray icon again in taskbar.

Disclaimer: I work for the people that make MacDrive.
MacDrive is designed to reactivate on the same computer provided there are not a significant number of hardware and OS changes. It's very comparable to Windows XP/Vista...if you're reinstalling the same OS on the same system, and you don't want to be bothered with uninstalling first, then the software will reactivate without any help from our support staff, or any preventative action on your end (e.g. uninstalling).
In the event you are constantly changing operating systems (and/or hardware), and you don't want to be bothered by the self-help option of uninstalling before you wipe the computer, then you can always turn to our extremely effective and responsive support staff. We guarantee a same day response during the week (average response time is less than an hour). That level of response time ensures that even if you buy a brand new computer on the weekend...you can use the software in trial mode until we're able to assist you during the week.
I genuinely appreciate the criticism...I just want to ensure that everyone reading this thread gets the facts.
To the original poster, I'm very appreciative of you bringing this up. What version of the Boot Camp drivers do you have installed on your MacBook Pro? I've been trying to replicate what you're describing on my MacBook Pro (admittedly, an older model) without success thus far.

  • Tray icon missing after 3.0 driver install?

    After installing the latest boot camp drivers, my boot camp tray icon has gone missing. Anyone else see this phenomenon? Is there any other way to access the boot camp options in Windows?
    Edit: reinstalled and the icon appears
    Message was edited by: jefisher

    This is a stupid windows problem and often occurs if you install Browser based VNC software or use the Bootcamp partition within Parallels or Fusion.
    These applications(programs) create their own Special Profiles and at the same time modify the items visible in the Task Bar Tray.
    One of the victims is always the Bootcamp switcher.
    By the way whats worse is at the same time they can disable the media keys on Apples Wireless Keyboards.
    When you switch to Windows it may well boot to the wrong profiles.
    On occasion rebooting Windows may actually load the correct profile with the tray icon.(This is however random in my experience)
    Worse still if you have to restart Windows in some circumstances it will generate a further set of Profiles.
    As a starting point and not foolproof whilst in windows
    Right Click My Computer/Computer
    Click on the Advanced Tab in System Properties and the setting radio button on under user profiles and see how many profiles are set.
    Now delete any multiple and unidentifiable profiles.
    Now reboot your Mac within windows and it might just load the base Try items including the Bootcamp switcher.

  • System Tray icon missing sometimes

    I have an HP printer 4100 series, Gateway computer, Vista.
    I've had two times when I booted up and the HP Printer system tray icon was not in the system tray.
    I will look at the Notification Area setup and one of the icons listed (under Past Items) is "Terminating Digital Imaging Monitor."
    However, I was still able to print normally.  If I reboot, the system tray icon will return.
    I've had the same printer/setup for over a year.  This never happened till today.  Normally the system tray icon will appear at startup.
    It may be one of Vista's quirks - I sometimes notice inconstent things about the system tray icons.
    Anyone know why this might happen?

    I am on the same os and having the same issue. I tried reloading java and found it did not help.
    Please advise.

  • Upgrading to Bootcamp 4 (lion and Win7 64bits)

    Hey there folks! So much time without asking something ^^
    I'm wondering if it's possible to upgrade Bootcamp onto a Windows Partition without having to re-install Windows. As far as I have red in the Bootcamp Appple Support webpage, upgrading to Bootcamp 4 requires a clean install of Windows 7, but I don't want to go through that time taking process. Any of you have been upgraded to Bootcamp 4 over an existing Windows 7 installation without doing a clean install of Windows?
    Thanks for the help, guys!
    Ø3

    No need for a clean install.
    Use the BootCamp Assistant in OSX Lion to download the "Windows Support Software" (aka BootCamp Drivers version 4.x).
    I prefer to use an USB-Stick for the download and save.
    Boot into Windows, uninstall the previous BootCamp Drivers first then connect the USB-Stick and run the Setup.exe
    It is best to either have a backup of your Windows before updating, but at minimum have/make a System Restore Point before.

  • How to enable multi-finger touchpad gestures on 2740p win7 64bit tablet.

    I recently purchased an HP 2740p that works pretty well.  The issue I'm having is related to the multi-finger touchpad gestures.  I'm a huge fan of two-finger scrolling, and the manual for this tablet states that this pc has multi-finger scrolling.  The manual also describes/explains how to use this feature.  However, when I first got this tablet, the "multi-finger gesture" options were grayed out in the synaptic touchpad setttings window.  I then elected to install the latest synaptic touchpad driver in the hopes of enabling this feature, but this only allowed me to check the "MultiFinger Gestures" checkbox, and not actually use mutlFinger gestures.  Is this a known problem with this pc/synaptic driver combo.  If so, is there a fix?  Any help would be appreciated.
    E
    Build: HP 2740p, i5, 4GB DDR3, Win7 64bit, synaptic touhpad driver version 15.2.7.0 (12/22/2010).  Product #: 2CE0330DSH

    If you find that it is greyed out, try right clicking the synaptics tray icon in the taskbar and if the option "disable gestures: is ticked, untick it and the options in the touchpad settings should be accessable.
    Hope this helps

  • When installing iTunes 10.5 64bit on my win7 64bit computer I get a weird error message.

    This all started when one day I plugged in my iPhone 4 to my iTunes 10.4 on my PC (win7 64bit) and I got nothing. I got the connection noise and my phone started charging but it would not show up in iTunes. In My Computer, it sees that I have an iPhone plugged in but shows it as a Camera, not a phone, and I am not able to see anything inside said "camera". At this point I decided to clear everything "Apple" off of my computer and manually install iTunes 10.5. Mid download i came across this error message that I have no clue what it is telling me. After clicking "OK" it then tells me "rolling back session" and then tells me that "Apple Mobile Device failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services." Since getting this messag I suspected that it was an AMD (apple mobile device) issue. AMD seems to be IMPOSSIBLE to uninstall/delete from my computer... At this point I'm giving up and looking for advice/help on this issue.
    Im lead to believe that it is an AMD issue because iTunes 10.4 reads my iPod Shuffle perfectly but wont read my iPhone 4 or a friends iPhone 3g.
    Thanks in advance for taking the time to read this!! Any help would be greatly appreciated because I dont want to reformat

  • Can't mount Time Capsule on PC (white system tray icon no longer there)

    My new time capsule is working perfectly on my MacBookPro, however recently I tried to get it to work on my PC laptop. I easily got the wireless internet work on the PC, that's not a problem. I installed the airport utility on my PC and it was able to recognize it through the airport utility interface/configuring window where I could change settings, etc., just like I could on my Mac. There used to be (on my PC) this white icon in my system tray on the lower right of my screen. When I clicked on this I could type my password, as prompted, and mount to the time capsule, which I could now see in My Computer as a drive. I tested a few files by dragging them over into the drive, and it worked fine. Now, a week later the icon in the system tray has disappeared, and I can no longer see the time capsule on my PC in My Computer. I can still click on the airport utility icon in my programs and see/change settings in my time capsule from my PC, but cannot see nor access the drive from My Computer (or mount by clicking on this now missing icon). Anyone else know what I can do? Thanks in advance!

    I was just having this problem and figured out that the white system tray icon is the Airport Base Station Agent. It wasn't running for me for some reason, too, but I found it and started it back up again at C:\Program Files\AirPort\APAgent.exe.
    Here's an Apple Support article (it's a little old) I found that discusses drive mapping in windows with the Airport Base Station Agent: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1331
    Hope this helps.

  • Airplay Icon missing from iTunes 11.0.2.26 (PC) and Genius Sidebar

    After upgrading to iTunes 11.0.2.26 my Airplay icon is missing. I've tried the simple fix that reportedly works where you switch to mini player, see the Airplay icon and then it stays when you switch to normal mode.
    Firstly the icon does appear but it is grayed out and only pops up a volume control. It does not detect, display, or allow you to select output devices, Second, it is still missing from the normal size window.
    This has been tried with and without restarting iTunes as well as reinstalling iTunes. I'd go for a downgrade but then it fails to work with the new iPads at all. I discovered that with my first iPad mini where it required an iTunes upgrade.
    Genious Sidebar
    I figured Id just downgrade to 10.6.3 to get the genius sidebar back afterwards. WRONG, it will not synch or do anything without the newer versions of the iTunes software. Genius sidebar was the best thing about the software and they kept taking it away, brought it back for a few versions, then took it away again. It was and remains my favorite way to shop for new music. The remaining so called genius functions are just plain lame.

  • CS4, Win7 64bit Media Encoder Errors

    On a fresh install of Win7 64bit, ASUS P6T Deluxe V2 motherboard 12GB RAM, NVIDIA GTX 260 graphic card and all updates (software/hardware), I'm having a bear of a time exporting even a bars/tone test project from CS4. Here is the sequence of events:
    1)Create/edit project, export media, I get warning message that an update of Media Encoder is available (but I've already double checked that I'm running CS4 4.2.1 with multiple computer restarts). AME version I have is 4.2.0.006
    2) choose export format, location, etc. (I've tried various export formats with no difference in resulting error messages)
    3) dynamic link exports the file to AME...BUT....AME doesn't open
    4)When I've manually opened AME beforehand, CS4 will export to the queue
    5)On attempt to encode I get the message:
    - Source File: C:\Users\Oren\AppData\Local\Temp\Zi8 Test_7.prproj
    - Output File: E:\Choco Rehab2.f4v
    - Preset Used: Custom

    Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted.
    6) I've looked in the folder and indeed, the source file doesn't exist...but it keeps creating this same message, regardless of what project I try to work on.
    I've done a re-install (with cleaner script) TWICE already and it is really a time-killer (especially when I defrag the drive in between installs). I beseech Harm and all the other gurus to offer some sage wisdom. Thank you.

    I'm the only user on the computer, and I do have full rights to the C: volume. By default, I should be the administrator, is that correct?  Thanks again for your offer to help and your invaluable assistance to all Adobe users. With your help (and the upcoming Mercury engine), I hope to have a Matrox-free system eventually. I still have to use my XP-32 matrox and CS3 system until I can work out the kinks that keep me from exporting completed projects on my newly build Win7 CS4 system.
    Let me know if anything stands out to you that I'm missing. I'm a bit frazzled currently.

  • Access Connection Tray Icon disappear

    Hi, I got a problem on a T61p model 8889-AB5 owned by my boss.  The ThinkVantage Access Connections tray icon was disappeared occasionally.  It is noticed that below registry keys were missed and I needed to add them back to get the tray icon displayed.ACTray=C:\\Program Files\\ThinkPad\\ConnectUtilities\\ACTray.exeACWLIcon="C:\\Program Files\\ThinkPad\\ConnectUtilities\\ACWLIcon.exe This T61p hardware was checked by Lenovo service center on July 2008; no problem was found and the Win XPP was reinstalled from recovery CD afterward. Does anyone encounter similar problem? Thanks, Eric 

    And still no improvements in version 6.11!
    Can we expect a fix for this?

  • Sometimes Tray Icon not loaded correctly

    I am trying to make my (html/ajax) website available as a desktop application, (with little enhancements like notifications in the background etc.)  without writing any extra code. Everything works fine except the tray icon. Sometimes the tray icon is not loading correctly.
    Following is the structure of my sample air application.
    1. An html page(page1.html) i am using as my inital window.
    It creates an invisible html window and loads a new page (page2.html) as below.
            var options = new air.NativeWindowInitOptions();
            options.systemChrome = "standard";
            var windowBounds = new air.Rectangle(200,250,300,400);
            newHTMLLoader = air.HTMLLoader.createRootWindow(false, options, false, windowBounds);
            newHTMLLoader.window.mainAppWindow = window;
            newHTMLLoader.load(new air.URLRequest("page2.html"));
    and later redirecting to the website.
    2. I am using this invisible html window to control the application behavior (like sending ajax requests in the background, monitoring network, checking for updates etc.)
    page2.html contains code to load the tray icon for the application.
    Here is javascript the code in page2.html
    function BgWindow(){
            this.init = function(){
                this.loadTrayIcon();
            var iconLoadComplete = function(event){
                air.NativeApplication.nativeApplication.icon.bitmaps = [event.target.content.bitmapData];
            this.loadTrayIcon = function() {
                air.NativeApplication.nativeApplication.autoExit = true;
                var iconLoad = new air.Loader();
                if (air.NativeApplication.supportsSystemTrayIcon) {
                    iconLoad.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(air.Event.COMPLETE,iconLoadComplete);
                    iconLoad.load(new air.URLRequest("lmt16.png"));
        window.onload = function(){
            bgWindow = new BgWindow();
            bgWindow.init();       
    But the problem here is, sometimes the icon is loaded correctly but sometimes its not loaded.
    What am I missing here ?
    Any help is appreciated.
    I am attaching the complete application if somebody needs to analyze it.

    Sorry. Your attachment didn't come through. It triggered an error message about a "malformed container violation." Please try to rezip it and try it again.

  • .xlsm File use from Excel 2013 64bit/Win7 64bit to Excel 2013 32bit/Win8.1 64bit - Component Removed (not API related)

    Work Environment:  Excel 2013 64bit/Win7 64bit
    Home Environment: Excel 2013 32bit/Win8.1 64bit (1 desktop and 1 laptop)
    I am developing an an .xlsm file at work (with Lists and a single form with controls linked to a worksheet ControlSource). It works and saves all day long just fine in my work environment. I save the file to either a USB drive (or DropBox - makes no difference)
    and then open the file on my home computer. I can open the file the first time with no problem and with no error messages. But then when I try to save the file Excel 2013 32bit most often tells me that it has removed a component. But it doesn't tell which
    component it has removed. After that, if I close the file and try to reopen it, it won't reopen. I get a series of error message: [1] file path errors (error 75) [2] Excel has stopped working errors. [3] Excel hasn't enough memory to complete the operation,
    [4] Excel will close. So I click the close button on the last error message and Excel disappears. I say disappears, because its not really gone. Mind you, its not listed in the Task Manager at this point. But, if I then click the Windows Taskbar icon to start
    Excel, Excel will sometimes automatically open up with the file that I was trying to open before, already up and running, i.e. I do not select the file to open it - it just appears. Other time Excel just repeats the series of error messages noted above.
    The strange part is, once this file has been corrupted, I can still take it back to my work environment, fire it up on my work computer, and it works just fine. No error messages, no saving problems.
    I have totally uninstalled and reinstalled Office 2013 (HUP Click to Run) on both my home computers and it makes no difference.
    I can say though, this is driving me nuts. Anyone have any suggestions or ideas?
    phillfri

    I think I solved the issue.
    Step 1: Moved all my code from the Worksheet_Open event to the Auto_Open Macro.
    Result: File would open from inside Excel but when opening by clicking on the file in Windows explorer I would get the error msg "There was a problem sending a command to the program."
    Step 2: Apply FixIt 20074. Note that to get this FixIt to work in Windows 8.1 you MUST save the FixIt file to your desktop and run it from there. If you follow the instructions on the FixIt page - download and run - you will get the error msg "This Fixit
    does not apply because the computer does not have the expected software (Excel.exe)."
    Excel 2013 definitely seems to have some bugs when starting a macro enabled file. I have seen other comments on the internet about the Excel workbook_open event actually failing to run all the VBA commands that are put into it.
    Environments:
    [1] Home: Microsoft HUP Click-n-Run Office Professional 2013; Windows 8.1, 64 bit; Excel 2013, 32 bit.
    [2] Work: Enterprise Microsoft Office Professional 2013; Windows 7, 64 bit; Excel 2013, 64 bit.
