802.11ac works in OSX but not Windows 7

My Haswell Macbook Air connects to my new Airport Extreme with 802.11ac in OSX but in Windows 7 with the drivers in BootCamp 5.1.5621 I only connect with 802.11n.
I can't find any new drivers for Windows -- has anyone had any luck?

Not the answer for your question. But I have Steam on my mac. You can download it on their website!

Printer connected to Airport Express only works on OSX Partition, not Windows 7 Partition

I have a mid 2012 Macbook Pro, 13 inch with 2.9ghz processor and 8GB RAM that has a Boot Camp partition on it running Windows 7 Professional. I have had an Airport Express base station that I purchased in 2013, and have a printer connected to it, a HP Laserjet 1102w which is plugged into the Airport. When I am on the OSX partition, the wireless printing works perfectly, however, on the Windows partition, it will not 'find' the printer under a list of available printers. This is annoying as I primarily use Windows and have to restart my computer every time I need to print something. Is there any way to fix this?

You might want to take a look at Printopia to see if it will do what you want. There is a free trial, so you will know for sure before you buy.
The upside with Printopia is that printing from the iPhone will work just as if you had an AirPrint printer.
The downside with Printopia is that you must have a Mac running on the network to be able to print.
Printopia - AirPrint to Any Printer - Print from iPad - Print from iPhone ...
I have no interest in Printopia other than that as a customer.

Strange on - Wake on LAN (WOL) works with Win2K3, but not Windows 7

Hi,
I have a PC that I originally had Windows 2003 on. With Win2K3, I can send a wakeonlan (magic) packet (WOL) and get it to power on remotely from my home network/LAN.
I just installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, in a dual-boot configuration, i.e., so I can boot the machine to either Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit or Win2K3.
As mentioned, I can power the machine up remotely (from my home network/LAN), but if I've LAST booted into Win7, then shutdown, it doesn't respond to the WOL packet.
I've confirmed that if I boot into Win2K3, then shutdown, the WOL works fine.
I have another PC that has both Win2K3 and Windows 7 (also dual boot), and that works fine with WOL.
One difference between the one that doesn't work vs. the one that works is that the one that works is a machine that I just built a couple of weeks ago, which uses an MSI 880gm-E43 motherboard.
The one that doesn't work also has an MSI motherboard, but it's an older one, an MSI K9NBPM2-FID.
I've cross-checked the various Windows power management settings between the one that works, and the one that doesn't work, but I just can't get WOL to work with Win7 on that older machine. I've even turned the Windows Firewall off completely on the machine where WOL isn't working, but no matter what I've tried thus far, no joy :(...
The only thing that I can think of is that the network card driver (it's the MS one, from the Win7 distribution) might not work with WOL, but I've checked, and it's the latest driver from MS (Nvidia Nforce Networking Controller - 10/17/2008 - 1.0.1.211), and MSI doesn't have a specific Win7 64-bit driver for this motherboard.
So, I was wondering if anyone has any ideas about this?
Is there some registry setting or something that might allow WOL to work?
Thanks in advance,
Jim

Hi,
Unbelievable!
Just for the record, I got WOL working with the older machine, JUST after I posted the original msg.
Here's what I did:
- I was in Device Manager, and did Update Driver, but
- I selected to let me choose, and then I checked the "Show Compatible devices" checkbox
Then, a 2nd, older (10/6/2006 - 6.2.0.127) driver appeared, so I figured, "what the heck?" and tried that. I then shut the machine down, and sent a WOL packet to it, and kind of forgot about it (machines in a different room), but a few minutes later "bing!", the machine had powered up and booted into Win7!!
Anyway, as I said, for the record, and hope that this helps someone in the future.

JMF code working under linux but not windows XP

Hello everyone,
I'm currently working on a nice cross-platform project involving sound producing. I decided to take a look at JMF and test it a bit to know if its features can suit me. I tried to make it works under windows, using a very simple sample of code. The system seems to play the sound as some console output detects the start and the end, but all i hear is a very short noise ( 1/2second ) like a "CLIK" and nothing else. I tested the code under linux, using the same computer and it works just fine, playing the same wave nicely and entirely.
some info:
-i used the cross platform JMF, no performance pack ( i tried it , but still no result )
-the code just opens a file dialog and plays the selected file
-the selected file was always a very simple .wav
-i did not use system classpath variables because i don't like it, i rather use local classpath ( which works fine too, no doubt about it )
-i tested this little soft on 2 other computer using windows XP, and still got the same result.
Please, have you got an idea about what's going on ?
Thanks a lot for any answer!

Media Queries: Works on Mac but not Windows

http://www.sandiegohomegrown.com/testSDTG/
I have been coding this site on my Mac and it works with Firefox, Safari, and Chrome. I fired up the old Windows machine and it doesn't work with Safari, Firefox, or IE10. It just ignores the media queries completely. This has to be something really simple but I am baffled. Help!! Gary

Alt attributes on images are not significant for rendering. Did you fix the duplicate ID problems? Those are important.
Windows OS doesn't ignore media queries but some browsers will if they see code errors they can't reconcile.
Make sure IE is NOT running in Compatibility Mode which is practically the same as IE7.
If you want to ensure IE always opens in standards mode, add this meta tag to the <head> of your HTML pages.

Apple script for 10.4 - works in OSX but not older

Hi I have a script which I'm using on my current system 10.9 it runs in excel and it goes something like this:
tell application "Microsoft Excel"
-- put the complete set of data into a list of lists (i.e., 2 dimensions -> columns of rows)
tell active sheet to set myData to value of used range
-- recipient email
set myRow1 to 1
set myCol1 to 1
set Address to item {myCol1} of item {myRow1} of myData
-- recipient name
set myCol4 to 4
set rName to item {myCol4} of item {myRow1} of myData
The above is just a small snippet from the script. However I try running this on apple 10.4 apple script and it does not work. I'm trying to save my computer time from have to this minimal task on an older mac I have but I'm experiencing some problems. Does the active sheet not work in apple mac 10.4? What am I missing? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Ohms238,
I found this Apple developer page that talks about changes made in each version of OSX. It will require some work, but you can go through and see what changes are relevant to your script.
But I would actually recommend running pieces of your code separately to see exactly what parts don't work and then rewrite just those portions.

SplashScreen class that works in Linux but not Windows?

OK so I wrote this splashscreen class:
public class SplashScreen extends JWindow {
    public SplashScreen(String imageFile, int msecs) {
        Image imgData = getToolkit().getImage(getClass().getResource(imageFile));
        System.out.println(imageFile);
        // Create label with image on it
        ImageIcon image = new ImageIcon(imgData);
        // Create label with image as content
        JLabel imageLabel = new JLabel(image);
        // Add label to content pane
        getContentPane().add(imageLabel, BorderLayout.CENTER);
        // Resize window to match image
        pack();
        // Get the size of the screen and the size of the image
        Dimension screenSize = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
        Dimension imageSize = imageLabel.getPreferredSize();
        System.out.println(String.format("%d %d", imageSize.width, imageSize.height));
        // Center window on screen
        this.setLocation(screenSize.width/2 - (imageSize.width/2), screenSize.height/2 - (imageSize.height/2));
        // Runnable that handles closing down the screen
        final SplashScreen parent = this;
        final Runnable closeThread = new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                parent.setVisible(false);
                parent.dispose();
        // Thread that simple sleeps and then calls the closer
        final int waitTime = msecs;
        Thread waitThread = new Thread(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                try {
                    Thread.sleep(waitTime);
                    SwingUtilities.invokeAndWait(closeThread);
                } catch (Exception e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
        // Display the screen
        setVisible(true);
        // Wait and close
        waitThread.start();
}Which I call thusly:
gui.SplashScreen sc = new gui.SplashScreen("/images/splashscreen.png", 2000);Obviously this is supposed to display the given image on the screen for 2 seconds before disappearing. My problem is that it works exactly like you'd expect in Linux, but when I run it in windows the image doesn't appear. The app loads and runs fine otherwise. I put some print outs in and verified that it looks like it's finding the image correctly, but then it just doesn't display... I'm stumped, does anyone have any clue why this would be a problem on different platforms?

Seriously? I tried it on two different windows machines and it didn't work.... Maybe it has something to do with how netbeans is jarring stuff up.

SanDisk ImageMate works on Vista, but not on Leopard

I bought an iMac when my old Windows XP machine from Dell died last Christmas, and am mostly very pleased with it. I used Boot Camp to install Vista Home Basic on it also, because I still needed to run some Windows software.
I recently acquired a digital camera from my daughter, along with a SmartMedia card reader by SanDisk (model SDDR-55 ImageMate). On the SanDisk website I found a driver for Windows that would work for 95, 98, ME, 2000, and XP. I downloaded it after not finding one for Vista listed. Similarly, there was a driver that would work for Macintosh OSX and OS 10.1. I downloaded it after not finding one specifically for Leopard.
I installed both drivers under their appropriate OSes and plugged the ImageMate into a USB port on the computer. What I found was that it worked fine under Vista but was not recognized at all by Leopard. I contacted SanDisk and they had me verify that it was not a problem with the USB port. Also, they had me try to install it on another Mac (my daughter has a Mac laptop running Leopard) and it didn't work there either. So I know the ImageMate works and the USB port works.
SanDisk then suggested I contact Apple. Is there anything I can do to get the ImageMate working on Leopard?
One thing I noticed was that when I ran Terminal and went to /System/Library/Extensions and looked at a couple of files created during the install on the Mac, the owner and group were different from all the other files, so I made them match the others thinking file ownership might be the problem. Alas, it was not. (I did the install while logged in as admin.)
Can anybody point me in the direction of what to do next?
Thanks in advance,
Sherry

Many thanks to both of you for responding. My guess is that my ImageMate is getting old and SanDisk isn't going to help support it. I'm sure they'd rather I replace it by buying one of their newer models.
One of my lesser attractive qualities is that I am cheap, and hate to throw away anything that still works. Since this little doobie still does (under Vista), I'll probably limp along with it there until I can't stand it anymore and buy a new one. I appreciate learning that some require drivers and some don't: that will help when it comes time to buy a replacement.
Neither here nor there, but this is the 2nd device I've had difficulty with getting to work on Leopard but not on Vista (the other being my HP PSC 1315xi printer/scanner/copier).

Flash Player works in Safari but not Internet Explorer 9

I've installed Flash Player 10.3 and it works in Safari but not Internet Explorer 9. When I look in Manage Add-Ins I see Flash Shockwave but not Flash Player. My operating system is Windows Vista Ultimate (32bit). Safari is 5.0.5 and IE 9 is 9.0.8112.16421. I've tried uninstalling and re-installing Flash Player and uninstalling Norton 360. Nothing has worked so far. Can you help?

Thank you for your reply. Shockwave is loaded and enabled.
The files in flash directory are: a folder called FlashPlayerTrust: file, flash10q.ocx: file, FlashInstall.log; file, FlashUtil10q_ActiveX.dll; file, FlashUtil10q_ActiveX.exe, file, install.log.
There is no file: NPSWF32.dll.
When I test the browsers I get no spinning logo in either Safari or IE9. Safari says: missing plug-in, where I think the logo should be. IE-9 says nothing at the same location.
Thanks.

Mac mini webcam works on facetime but not oovoo

I am using a Rocketfish hd webcam and it is working on facetime but not on oovoo. Can someone provide a solution?

P.S.
If the third-party support info and help does not get it working for you, you can also use OS X Mavericks recovery or reinstall to repair your startup disk or reinstall OS X 10.9.
Also Apple's http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
(Over time, Apple has changed the built-in camera's name on newer Macs from "iSight" to "FaceTime" and then to "FaceTime HD." Regardless of the name of your Mac's built-in camera, the same info and troubleshooting applies.)

QTSS Works on Mac but not the other

I have a Server running OS X Server 10.5.8. I am running QTSS and Apache on this machine, however I am having issues with Quicktime streaming. One mac here is able to successfully stream but all other macs on our network fail to connect despite the QTSS "Connections" window shows the connection to the machine trying to stream the video. In the end on the client Quicktime X shows "Not Found" however I am able to connect to the server via other services (ARD, AFP, HTTP). I can post any logs that might help.
Thanks in advance

I couldn't remember what the Display Preferences had said when we tried this last spring and again in the summer, so tonight we connected it again, and wouldn't you know - it worked just fine. We didn't do anything different, so I have no clue as to why it worked this time but not before. He's thinking about getting his own big display, but didn't want to waste his money if he couldn't get it to work, so now I guess we're shopping for another 23" display - probably a used one. Thanks!

Flash 10 works in FF but not Safari, OS X 10.5

About a week ago flash stopped working in Safari and both firefox and safari started bugging me to install a newer version. Muttering, I went to the download page and downloaded the latest, which claims to be for Safari, Opera, and firefox.
Installation completes fine with no errors. Firefox works. But in Safari, I just get the usual 'no flash installed, would you like to download it?'
I've downloaded and installed multiple times, no dice. Plug-ins are enabled on Safari. I do not have settings folders to delete--/Library/Application Supprt/Adobe has no flash player folder, only Acrobat, Updater6, and Help.
This whole thing is a black box and I don't see what else to do. Installation completes and there's no way to verify anything. Any ideas would be welcome.

Thanks! BTW I'm also having trouble updating Adobe Reader. I have 9.4.0 and want to update to the new Adobe Reader X. I keep getting Error 1402 which refers to the registry keys. I am unable to completely uninstall the old version. After receiving the error message it reloades the older version. I read about how to modify the registry to accept it but I believe this is a very wierd way to have to get an update loaded. Any suggestions?
