Lion forgets mouse settings after using boot camp on my 24" iMac.  How do I retain the mouse speed setting?

Lion always forgets my mouse speed setting after using Boot Camp.  How do I retain this info in Lion?

After I posted my question this thread showed up in the side bar.  Too bad it didn't show up when I searched the forums prior to posting.

  • Trouble restarting Mac OS after using Boot Camp

    I am using Mac OSx 10.6.8 and have Windows 7 on my Boot Camp. In probably 90 percent of the times I restart my Mac OS side after using Boot Camp, my computer freezes during the startup. I usually get to my desktop screen but my desktop icons don't fully load and it freezes, or if I try and open an application in my dock, I get the spinning ball of death and I have to restart.
    A co-worker suggested opening in safe mode and then going to my preferences file and looking for any .plist file that appears corrupted and then deleting it before restarting. That usually works except for the times I can't find anything that looks corrupted. Also, there are times when it starts up and my dock is back to the computer's default setup. Sometimes my clock gets set to a different time as well.
    On occasion, I've sometimes restarted as many as a dozen times before things kick in correctly.
    I don't have any applications in the startup menu. This thing just has major problems restarting after using Boot Camp. (I have a co-worker with the same exact issue). It's a pain when I am in a hurry after using Boot Camp.
    I don't have privileges to run disk utility or do anything similar so before I take it into my IT folks, I'm wondering if this is an issue with anyone else and if there is another solution.

    sorry for digging up an old thread, but what was the problem?

  • Folder with question mark on startup after using boot camp!!!

    im getting a folder with a question mark on startup after using boot camp. it shows up for a second, then the apple logo pops up and OSX boots normally. i wouldnt be concerned except this folder with the question mark usually shows up when the computer cant find the startup disk or OS. so in fact what is happening is that my macbook cant find the startup disk for a second and then seems to find it. is anybody else having this problem. i dont like it and want to get rid of it. help!!

    This is correct.
    I wonder how it can be that in the System Preferences - Startup Disk - OS X volume can become "deselected" like it was... I had to re-highlight the OS X volume and all is well.

  • Can't boot into Windows 7 after using Boot Camp

    So I installed Windows 7 on a separate 70GB partition using Boot Camp. Everything seems fine, but once installation finished and the computer restarted for the final time, the computer shows the blinking "_" on the black screen and then promptly reboots and this cycle continues without end.

    Sounds stuck at the Windows bootloader. It's not clear why. I would zap PRAM by holding command-option-p-r at the startup chime until you hear a 2nd startup chime. Let it boot back into Mac OS. Insert the Windows 7 install disk and reboot, holding down 'c'.
    Read this, in particular the 3rd option below the screen shot To open the System Recovery Options menu using the Windows 7 installation disc or a USB flash drive, or a system repair disc

  • Lose airport connection after using boot camp and windows XP

    After using windows XP on boot camp and shutting down windows and booting to Mac OS 10.5.7 I lose the airport connection and have to restart or reset my airport extreme base station. My imac 2.8 is connected to airport via ethernet. Air port is operating on 5.7 version. This is a recent development and suspect it is related to updates in windows. I do not know where to start but need to solve this problem as it interrupts the other computers on wireless. Thanks Carl

    I have solved problem. It was in the windows settings using airport rather than ethernet connection. Carl

  • Messed up Windows 8.1 install after using Boot Camp 4 drivers

    Hey guys, I just finished successfully installing Windows 8.1 on my Mac with Lion. There were no issues there, but I royally screwed up the Windows partition after trying to install the Boot Camp support software from a USB flash drive. I didn't look into it enough and am now realizing (after the fact of course) that I needed Boot Camp 5.1 for support for Windows 8.1!
    I realized that something was wrong when I tried to install the drivers and software from my Boot Camp 4.0.4 and I received a prompt on Windows telling me that it expected Windows 7 instead and then asked me to run in compatibility mode to see if that works. I stupidly clicked yes and then my Windows locked the screen on me. So of course, I unlocked it and the display is all messed up with my battery indicator at the top left, most of the screen is black and a small portion on the right side is not black. It instantly locks itself again. I can only repeat the process with no way to correct it (that I know of).
    Is this install of Windows 8.1 salvageable? I am getting the new drivers from Boot Camp 5.1 now, but it won't help if I can't even get to the desktop for Windows. Help!

    Right - this would be the easiest thing to do. Will I have issues the Windows license being activated again? I have actually never had to reinstall before so I have never had license issues.

    Mar 18, 2013 1:58 PM (in response to fotofil_de)
    With 10.8.3 Bootcamp and Win8 install work like a charm. No DVD needed. Win8 install image and drivers are packed on the same usb stick (or similar device) and the installation and driver upgrade process are a clean sweep through.
    Solved!
    There many who made this work, so there is some evidence.

  • After using media from iCloud on a MacBook , how do you send the media back onto the cloud so the media is stored there and not in my MacBook?

    After downloading media from iCloud and watching/listening to it, how do you send it back to the iCloud for storing it rather than leave it in my MacBook?

    Apps, music, books, tv shows, movies and music videos are already in iCloud.  All you need to do is delete them from your Mac and you can download them again in the future as explained here: Download past purchases.  (This is not available for audiobooks, ringtones or tones.)  However, to download them again they still have to be available in the iTunes, iBooks and App stores, and the copyright owner has to allow it.  To avoid the risk of them not being available in the future, keep them in your iTunes library.

  • Problems installing Windows 7 using boot camp assistant

    I have followed the guide form the Apple website and using boot camp assistant, I have managed to install Windows 7 Home Premium up to a point.
    When the IMac re-boots and starts up in Windows 7 it tries to complete the installation but neither my mouse, keyboard or trackpad work.
    This means I cannot enter a computer name in the first windows 7 screen, which in turn prevents the completion of the installation and the installation of the drivers for the keyboard, mouse and trackpad.
    Does anyone have an idea how I can complete the installation?
    I am using a 2012 IMac 27".
    Thanks

    Hi,
    yes I used boot camp for everything and followed what was advised on the Apple web page. The USB remains in the back of the machine and it did download the windows drivers etc, but it doesn't seem to have installed them yet.
    If I'm reading help manual properly, it is supposed to install them after windows 7 has been installed. But I can't get past the first Windows screen asking me to name my windows computer.
    If I obtain a USB keyboard will that run without any drivers being required?
    Thanks

  • I tried installing Windows 7 using Boot Camp, but it didn't work, I don't know how to "unparticion" the memory I gave to Boot Camp, and Boot Camp "vanished", help...

    I tried installing Windows 7 using Boot Camp, but it didn't work.
    Although it didn't work, the memory is still divided. So I looked for Boot Camp in aplications, but it literally vanished...
    So I tried downloading it again, but I only found EXE files... they don't work on my MacBook Pro...
    It's very new... Bought it recently...
    Please... I need help to unparticion memory back to original Mac HD and install Boot Camp...
    Thanks...

    Below is the paragraph from the instructions. Follow it exactly and then report what happens at each stage.
    How you remove Windows from your computer depends on whether you installed
    Windows on a second disk partition or on a single-volume disk.
    If you installed Windows on a second disk partition:  Using Boot Camp Assistant as
    described below, remove Windows by deleting the Windows partition and restoring
    the disk to a single-partition Mac OS X volume.
    If your computer has multiple disks and you installed Windows on a disk that has only one
    partition:  Start up in Mac OS X and use Disk Utility, in the Utilities folder, to reformat it
    as a Mac OS X volume.
    To delete Windows and the Windows partition:
    1  Start up in Mac OS X.
    2  Quit all open applications and log out any other users on your computer.
    3  Open Boot Camp Assistant.
    4  Select “Remove Windows 7,” and then click Continue.
    5  Do one of the following:
    a  If your computer has a single internal disk, click Restore.
    b  If your computer has multiple internal disks, select the disk with Windows on it,
    and then select “Restore to a single Mac OS partition” and click Continue.

  • Unable to boot mac OS X Lion after windows 7 installation using boot camp!

    Hi,
    I'm first time mac user & recently bought the latest entry level mac mini model 2.3GHz 599$ (http://www.apple.com/macmini/specs.html).
    The machine by default came with OS X Lion.
    I was trying to install genuine windows 7 on my mac mini using boot camp. I had the windows installation CD the download part for windows support software was taking too long & I foolishly skipped this crucial part set aside 70GB for win7 & continued the installation. The windows installation was done successfully with no machine specific drivers installed yet. I thought I would get some grub like thing to select OS at boot time but everytime it boots to windows. Is it since I missed downloading/installing windows support software? Please help me out to get my mac back
    I've not done much of googling to troubleshoot it but bit of nervous for my foolishness at skipping that downloading part.

    That was quite dumb question, the RTFM issue
    Booted from macintosh HD at startup & removed the windows installation.

  • Need Working Drivers for Macbook 2,1 running Windows 8 (64-bit) using Boot Camp 5 (Mountain Lion)

    So I found my old Macbook 2,1 on Leopard the other day and decided to make it my dedicated Windows computer. I wanted to run Windows 8 on it, so I figured out I needed Boot Camp 5. Then I realized Boot Camp 5 only runs on Mountain Lion, so I went though the process up updating it (had to use MLPostFactor since it's techincally unsupported on my mac.) After getting it updated to Mountain Lion, I went and used Boot Camp 5 to install Windows 8 64-bit. However, when I try to load any Boot Camp Driver Files (I've tried the drivers for BootCamp 3, 4, and 5) it says it is unsupported on my computer model. I suspect this is because of the fact that Windows 8 shouldn't be on my computer. Without these files, I can't right click, among other things, which is pretty important. Can anyone help me get these drivers loaded?
