where can I get windows 7 keyboard and mouse drivers for bootcamp?
I have installed Windows 7 in a boot camp partition. I can only use usb keyboard and mouse by booting Windows intyo safe mode, and I am totally unable to use my Apple wireless keyboard and mouse. How do I resolve this?
I'm running Lion - 10.7.2. Boot Camp Assistant fails to download drivers - that issue has been going on for some time, and has been reported by others as well.
But that answers your question. You get the drivers by using BCA to download them. Your inability to download the drivers is a separate issue than not being able to use your wireless keyboard.
While some people may have issues downloading the drivers, many others have successfully downloaded the drivers. I have downloaded them fine on several different Macs. It may take a long time, depending on the speed of your internet connection. Mine took over 3 hours.
Regardless, you need to download the drivers using Boot Camp Assistant. Try again, and if you still have problems, start a new thread and provide as much details as possible to describe what your seeing so that we don't have to go through this back-and-fourth, and you'll get your answer quicker.

My iPod Classic is seen by Windows but not by iTunes. I have reset it, gone to disk mode and it won't show up in iTunes. There appears to be music on it in a file called MUSICSAVE. How can I get this to work with iTunes again?

1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
3. Check the USB cable
4 Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job
7. Check for third-party software conflicts.

How can i get acrobat to work with windows vista

I rec'd an iPod Nano and can't get it to sync with playlist. I also have Windows 8. I need help!

I have rec'd an iPod Nano and can't get it to sync with my existing playlist. I am using a Windows 8 Dell laptop. Any suggestions?

One iCloud account has one user name (a .mac or .me email name) and password. If you have set up multiple accounts in the past then you must choose one and stay with it. If you don't know the user name, then you have a problem. If you haven't really begun using iCloud (but you mention trying to get mail, so I'm assuming you have used iCloud before), then use a .mac or .me account you know you have or just sign up for a new account - and be sure to write down the name and password for future use.
If you want to use the account to sync your contacts, email, calendars, etc, then each of your ios devices need to use the same account, otherwise they will be independent of one another.

AppleScript error with iTunes: Can't get window 'iTunes' of class pcap ...

Hi there. I'm working on a script that posts iTunes track names to Campfire based on the AirPlay device in use. I've been getting a "Can't get window 'iTunes' of <<class pcap>> 'iTunes' of application 'System Events'" and was hoping someone might see an obvious answer. The error pops up randomly. Some machines receive the error much more often than others. Here's the code:

I'm positive there's a better way to check if AirTunes is the active device (maybe by seeing if the current playlist is a device playlist, and checking the source name?), but I don't have any way to test that.

How do I "get Windows" to install with Boot Camp

I never, ever thought I would have to utilize Windows ever again, but the real estate industry is so outrageously hostile to the Mac platform, most or all of the industry software and websites ONLY run with IE on Windows. So I'm f'ed. But I don't know much about Windows. What is the latest version? I heard Vista is really crap? Is XP better? My man question though is:
According to the Apple site, all I need to do is "get Windows" and install it through Boot Camp. On the Microsoft site under "Buy", they funnel you straight into buying a whole PC in order to get Windows. I can't find anything about just buying a copy of the OS.
Would appreciate some basic clarification on getting started with this subject...
Thanks!

Hi Christopher,
first for clearance: your signature states a G5 dual 2GHz. Is this still correct ?
Because BootCamp only works on Intel-Macs not on PPC-Macs like yours !!
Bootcamp itself is merely a helper application which sets the Mac up so that Windows can be installed.
For a Windows installation you have to have/buy a Windows XP Home or XP Pro with Service Pack (SP) 2 or 3 or a Windows Vista Home / Business or Ultimate.
These can be found at Amazon or Newegg for example.
You can not use so-called Upgrade-discs and manufacturere-branded OEm-disc (from Dell, Hp or the like).
You can use so-called System-Builder discs.
Personally for your use XP would be my first choice, since Vista is for my a 'Nice Try' but not more.
If you can wait a little bit, the I would propose to get Windows 7 which should be out later this year, since it's the Vista that Vista has never been.
Apart from BootCamp there are Virtualization applications like Parallels, VMWare Fusion and VirtualBox which would better suit your needs, since they allow you to run Windows while still be in OSX, whereas with Bootcamp you have to restart your Mac in order to run Windows.
http://www.parallels.com/products/desktop/
http://www.vmware.com/products/fusion/
http://www.virtualbox.org/
For these you also have to have/buy a Windows license/CD.
Hope this helps.

How can I get Wireless N 5MHZ Capabilities Dual Band up to 300MHZ on my DV7 Laptop?

How can I get Wireless N 5MHZ Capabilities Dual Band up to 300MHZ on my DV7 Laptop?
Question for 4/18 experts ...
Or specifically, how can I replace my wireless card on a DV7-6B32US and upgrade to Intel Centrino 6230?
I have a relatively new DV7-6B32US puchased on 11/2011. Still under warranty. purchased 2 of the laptops. (also own 3 hp desktops and 1 HP All in One)
Existing card is wireless N but does not support 5GHZ or dual band. It is Broadcom 4313 wifi card and I am just realizing that the Broadcom card does not do the dual band 5GHZ wireless N. I have Linksys e4200 router which supports 5GHZ and dual band speeds up to 300 Mbps.
I called tech support and with their help identified Intel Centrino 6230 as the correct upgrade, and with their help ordered 631956-001. In the Maintenance Manual for DV7 laptop, this part number was listed for Intel Centrino 6230. Turns out HP sends an Intel Wireless N 1030 card, which is no better than my existing card. I called HP and they acknowledged that some manuals use part number 631956-001 for Centrino 6230 and some use 631956-001 for INtel 1030. So HP support said they would give refund but case manager was of no help in solving the upgrade problem. Said it was unavailable but here is your money back.
So after more searching, I see others have used part number 636672-001 to order Intel Centrino 6230, specifically for HP ProBook 4530s, 4230s, 4730s. And if I use part number 636672-001 and go thru parts store at HP, I can purchase it.
But will it work??
First, will the Intel Centrino 6230 with part number 636672-001 from HP parts, work in my HP DV7-6B32US, even though the part number is NOT listed in the Maintenance and Service Guide for my specific laptop. I see postings about whitelists and changing bios, etc, and am hoping someone can provide some guidance. I have been thru 2 tech support calls and one case manager and have gotten 3 different feedback from HP, from yes it will work and ordering the part, to buy it on amazon, to it will not work and here is your money back.
Second, I see some postings about Centrino 6230 and multiple antenna's. When I replaced the Broadcom 4313 with the Intel 1030 card, I simply unattached 2 wires and reattached the wires. And it worked. I am wondering if the reason HP doesn't list the 6230 card for DV7 is that DV7 does not have the antennas required to support 6230. Does the Centrino 6230 require 3 antennas?
Thanks for any suggestions. The existing cards do work but I paid extra for the Linksys e4200 Router and just assumed a winter 2011 $700 laptop from HP would use the latest wireless n technology, otherwise I would just keep existing cards.

I have went thru the exact same problems trying to upgrade the wireless card in my DV7. It is very frustrating that the wireless card can't be upgrade to one that supports 5Ghz. Here is my post from the network forum. http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Wireless-Internet-Home/Unsupported-Wireless-LAN-6230/td-p/1419595 Doesn't sound like it is possible to upgrade to the Centrino 6230 without it being added the the "white list". Sound like HP doesn't update the list after shipping the notebook. I feel your pain. HP needs to help out the consumer in upgrading the wireless cards. I see we are not the only ones that have had this problem.

How can I get Windows (v7 x64) to open in Dreamweaver (CS5) if I right click it?

Hi
How can I get Windows (v7 x64) to open in Dreamweaver (CS5) if I right click it?
None of the normal mechanisms of setting an application to be the DEFAULT application for the .HTML file type seem to work...
Extremely irritating.

If I use Bootcamp, can I get Windows viruses on my Mac?

I am using Mac OS X 10.8.3. I am about to install Windows 7 on my iMac with Bootcamp. Can I get Windows virus on my Mac because of Bootcamp?

If you do, it'll only affect the Windows partition of your hard drive.
If you feel really worried, I'd suggest running Windows in a virtual machine using Parallels or similar. You can set things up so that there's no access to your Mac from the virtual machine and, if the VM gets a problem, you can just delete it.

I have a macbook with 10.6 os and i can't get my new hp 6600 officejet online for wireless printing.

Reset the printing system:
- Go to System Preferences > Print & Scan
- Right (or control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.

I can't get Window's Media Player to "recognize" my new ipod shuffle. Does anyone have a solution? When I pull the ipod shuffle up in Devices and Printers, it says it needs Troubleshooting, but the Troubleshooting provides no solution.

Windows Media Player? As far as I know, that won't work. You need to install iTunes
http://www.apple.com/itunes/
That will install the software you need to use your shuffle with your computer.

Help Mac-brothers: can't get Windows to install

Thanks for reading. No matter how I try, I just can't get Windows (either Vista or XP Pro) installed on my Macpro! I made a partition with Bootcamp, started the installationprocess, on asking where to put Windows I selected the Bootcamp-partition and reformatted it. No matter what I do, it keeps telling me that it can't install Windows becouse it does not see a suitable sytem volume. what am I doing wrong? It drives me mad. Any help is welcome. Thank in advance!

Vista x64 doesn't like the NTFS partition BootCamp creates, so you have to delete and format, then reboot off the Vista DVD again.
And sometimes it only works if OS X is nowhere to be found (removed).
I always put Windows Vista on its own hard drive. And pull my OS X drive.
Having four drive bays, very easy.
Never tried with Pro. And in fact, I only 'tested' BootCamp Assistant once or twice. I just format a drive as FAT and then let Vista format it. BCA isn't necessary, and you can install the Apple drivers later when Windows is fully installed, patched, updated, and running fine.

I just purchases an ipod nano. I can not get it to synce with my existing itunes account. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I had no trouble using my ipad or my daughter's ipod touch.

Hi there,
I would recommend taking a look at the information found in the articles below. The first two articles have the same content, but are geared towards either OS X or Windows.
