Have successfully installed windows 7 but can't get wireless connection?

Hi There,
I have just installed a Windows 7 Partition using Boot Camp on my partner's iMac and it works fine but can't connect to the wireless connection? On the mac side it connects without problem? Can anyone advise???

I used boot camp to create partition then installed brand new home users windows 7 I backed it up to an external hard drive before installing. Her iMac connects to her sky router without problems? Which is why I can't understand why, when we switch to windows in doesn't find any networks? Hope this helps
Regards

I am trying to unlock my ipad with the message that the ipad has not been backed up successfully in 2 weeks, but can not get past this screen. I have plugged it in, it is connected to the internet, but will not back up or do anything else. What can I do?

If you want to be able to access your entire music library from iCloud, you'll have to subscribe to iTunes Match (http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/). Music purchased from the iTunes store is already in iCloud as it can be redownloaded at any time (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519).

Yes. Switching to Mac might be overwhelming at first, but it is not difficult. I Just started using Macs regularly about 9 months ago after using only Windows based pc's for over 15 years. Macs come with TextEdit , but you can also purchase MS Office for Mac or use Apple's version, called iWork.Yes, you can partition the hard drive of a Mac. Read these also: http://www.apple.com/support/switch101/, http://www.apple.com/support/mac101/. With regular use of a Mac, you will be able to use it without even thinking about it, just like how you learned to use a WIndows pc.

My computer beeps when I turn it on . I have tried to reset pram but can't get past the beeps.

The beeps (or flashes) are usually an indication that there is no working RAM. This article gives some examples, but the concept applies widely across many Mac models.

Installed Windows 7 but can't find get on the Internet

Hi there!
I am trying to help a friend install Windows 7 on his new mac book pro.
I went through the procedure of getting boot camp to do its thing and I successfully installed Windows 7 on top of boot camp. However, the problem is now that I can't get Windows 7 to go on the internet.
I didn't realize that apple no longer makes DVD disks for the new mac book pro. Therefore, I went back into boot camp and downloaded the drivers onto a USB disk using FAT format on the USB stick.
I was able to eventually get Windows 7 to read the USB disk (I had some problems before that and I had to reformat the USB disk). I looked inside the disk and saw a folder called Windows Support. In that folder were the following files and folders:
I looked all over for the drivers that would install the wi-fi or the ethernet connection. Unfortunately, there were no file(s) to be found.
I clicked on the setup.exe file. I believe that when I double clicked on the setup execution file, I was prompting me to reinstall boot camp.
Now, since boot camp and window 7 is already on the windows partition, I didn't go further on the install.
Can someone tell me what would what's going on here. The instructions for getting the drivers is a bit confusing.
Thanks!

Also, I realize that even if I DID a screenshot, I am sure that you or someone else could tell me what YOU see or guide me as to when you do the prompts for the setup exe.
As I said before, I am not at the computer in question and am trying to get as much information as I can so that I can possibly go over to this person's house today and finish the install.
How about posting what I should see for a reference. It would be most appreciated. thanks!
Shift-Command 4 will get you a screenshot, then click the camera icon in your post and insert it.

Installed Windows 8, but can't open in OS X anymore!

I have installed Windows 8 on my mid-2009 13" Macbook Pro, with mountain Lion on the other partition. Now when I shut down/restart, it only opens in Windows 8! I've held down "X" on the start-up and that doesnt work.
How do I start up in OSX?!

you have to hold down the option key
another option is to use the bootcamp tools that you installed along with the apple drivers disc you made in osx bootcamp program
this bootcamp utils in windows will let you choose if you want it to boot up default in windows or osx
you have a tool like it in osx so you can switch between them without using the option key at startup at all

Installed Windows 8 now can't get into Mac OS

NOOB MAC USER NEEDS IMMEDIATE HELP TO GET MACBOOK PRO WORKING AGAIN FOR SCHOOL!!!
I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to Mac's. I recently installed Windows 8 Consumer Preview Release on my desktop and thought it was really neat. The thought popped into my head to do the same to my Macbook Pro 15" using Boot Camp. I swear I did everything right, and installed it the way it was supposed to be installed. However, for some reason my Macbook isn't booting into OS X. When I boot it up it boots straight into Windows 8 without a boot up selection or anything. So, what I did is I used EasyBCD for Windows to edit the BOOTMGR add Mac OS X to the BOOTMGR to try and boot into OS X from the selection menu. When I do that, a couple of screens pop up very quickly with some command line codes, and then it goes to a screen that says "Darwin/x86 boot v5.0.132 - Chameleon v2.0-RC4 r684" on the top left and one selection that says "Press any key to start up from Windows NTFS, or press F8 to enter startup options." From here it's got "Macintosh HD" and "Windows NTFS". I select "Macintosh HD" and a line pops up at the top left of the screen saying "Hibernate session is too old by 2077 seconds. Use ForceWake=y to override." However, I have no idea how to go by inputting that command to override the hibernate session. I've tried looking up a way to get into the Mac "BIOS" or firmware to see if I could do it from there, but nothing seems to get me into it.
Once again, I'm a bit of a noob with Mac's. I obviously made a boo-boo trying to do this without a veteran Mac user present or assisting me. I'd GREATLY appreciate if I got some help to fix this ASAP because I use my Mac for school, and all my files and programs for school are essentially unreachable.
UPDATE: Discovered that I had to hold down "Option" key to go into the EFI boot selection and was able to select the Macintosh HD and get into the Mac OS. However, when I just turn the computer on and let it boot itself, using the BOOTMGR selection for the Mac OS, it goes through all the steps I outlined above. I can boot into Windows 8 this way, but not to the Mac OS.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
This does not sound good. Any noise that is like a finger nail on scratchboard could be a sign the hard drive is nearly dead. Take it to an authorized service technician if the sound is reproducible.
Hopefully your data is backed up.

I have os 10.6.5, but can't get the mac app store

I would like to access the App Store, and even though I have version 10.6 as stated in the requirements, I don't have it on my computer nor can I run software update to get it as the App Store page suggests. My "About This Mac" window says I'm running 10.6.5, but the "Software Update" button is grayed out and when I hover over it says, "This button is disabled because there is no Software Update application."
Seems to me I'm stuck, as I can't run software update to get the mac app store.
Am I missing something simple?

If the Software Update application is not in your Applications folder, then apparently you've inadvertently done away with it. Downloading and installing the standalone Combo Update, as the previous poster has suggested, may install a new copy of it. If it doesn't, you can reinstall it from your original OS installer DVD using Pacifist:

Upgraded to Mavericks and installed new iphoto but can't get iphoto to work

I have not been able to open my iphoto library with the current version after installing Mavericks and purchasing/installing iphoto 9.5
Here's the system info: iMac (from Dec. 2007)
2.8 GHz Core duo
4 GB SDRAM
OS X 10.9.1 (as of yesterday)
Iphoto 08 (7.1.5) lived on a network drive ( Lacie cloud drive) shared between a pc and a mac.
Upgraded to 9.5 yesterday
I used time machine backup before installing Mavericks and proceeded to try to upgrade iphoto. However, I did not make a backup of my system after this installation and before I installed the new iphoto. Does Time machine backup iphoto files located on a network drive? Does it matter that the backup was made with snow leopard and not Mavericks?
I followed instructions on a thread indicating that iphoto Library upgrader 1.1 should be used to prepare my old library prior to opening with iphoto 9.5.
When I double-clicked the upgrader it gave me this message:
Your library can open with the current version of iPhoto and does not need to be prepared with this tool.
I noticed that the iphoto icon has already changed from orange to blue.
OK- great! So I go to the freshly installed iphoto and try to open my library and get this message:
The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto.
Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process for very large libraries may take an hour or more to complete.
Alright, so I click the upgrade button and I get the beachball of death for about 15 minutes and then see a message that says:
Examining photo library- Examining with the beachball of death goes on for another 10 minutes and then iphoto just crashes and closes.
Back to searching through threads- Ah- try option + cmd while opening iphoto to rebuild the database but then get this message AGAIN:
The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto.
Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process for very large libraries may take an hour or more to complete.
And so, the cycle continues....
After reading through a few other discussion I discovered that the iphoto library should have been on a drive formated as Mac OS extended (journaled)
So- I format an external harddrive as Mac OS extended (journaled) and proceed to copy the iphoto library (234 GB) onto the external harddrive and after about 30 minutes I received this message:
The operation can’t be completed because an item with the name “iPhoto Library” already exists. I click OK and everything stops and shuts down.
Is it possible to get rid of Mavericks and go back to my original iphoto 08 using the time machine backup? If so, should I then use the upgrader before installing Mavericks and the new iphoto?
At this point I have no clue how to proceed. I am trying not to panic but this process is starting to drive me a little bananas and my brain is slowly, but surely, melting away.
Please help save my sanity. Please.
Thank you.

The problem is the library has been damaged from sitting on the Network Drive, and frankly, returning to the old OS won't change anything, nor will downgrading iPhoto. You're going to have this issue once you try and move the Library, or update it in any way, and - even if you stick with the old version of iPhoto, you're going to start having issues just saving edits, sharing and so on.
So, you're between a rock and a hard place.
I've no idea if TM backs up material on a NAS, but I do know that it can be set to back up externald rives. I'm somewhat surprised that you don't know, as this is your back up system that you created and the easiest route out of this situation. NOw there's only one way to find out.
So, my first effort would be to try restore the Library from TM to the correctly formatted drive:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4927?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
will help with that.
If that doesn't work or is not possible, your next effort is to try rebuild the Library to the correctly formatted drive:
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
If that doesn't work, then you're recovering the masters from the Library and starting over from scratch.

Installed latest version but can't get it to work with you tube videos

I installed the latest version of Flashpayer for Windows XP but when I go to Youtube and try to play videos Youtube doesn't recognize that it is installed
What am I doing wrong or how do I fix the problem? Thank you.

I'm having the same problem, when I try to see a youtube video, it says "you need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video". When I click on "download it now", Adobe says I already have it installed.
I too have Windows XP and using Windows Internet Explorer 8 browser.
