802.11n with Bootcamp and Windows xp

My 13 inch Macbook connects to my airport network at 802.11n 5GHz dual bandwidth using OSX but only 802.11g works when using bootcamp and windows. My 802.11n network shows-up on windows as an available network and I can type in my network password but it won't make the connection. Is 802.11n automatically active with bootcamp? I am able to connect at 802.11n speeds to my network using my work's Window laptop and a Linksys 802.11n usb card so I know it works.

Webcam on 2008 Mac Pro with Bootcamp and Windows 7. Cannot get it to work.

Have windows 7 Professional on my mac, using Bootcamp
I cannot get any webcam to work.
So far, I have used ....
A Logitech QuickCam Vision Pro for Mac. No app can detect it.
A Logitech C510 Webcam (for PC) No app can detect it.
An Agama V-2025 Webcam (for both Mac & PC and supposedly no additional drivers needed). No app can detect it.
I called Logitech and they said as it was too complicated for them to support, (i.e. Windows on a mac with bootcamp) and so they couldn't help.
Any ideas would be most appreciated.
Thanks.

Use bootcamp. I have been a loyal Adobe guy for 12+ years, but now that I have upgraded to mac...Adobe just sucks. I have not been able to finish a project yet do to the shabby CS4 media encoder.

Numerous problems with Airport Express 802.11n with DSL and extending WLAN

Hi all,
I have the following hardware:
802.11b/g Airport Express with firmware 6.3
802.11n Airport Express with firmware 7.3.2
MacBook Pro
iBook G4
Mac Pro PowerMac 2x450 G4
Up until now I had been using the old Airport Express as the base station connecting to my PPPoE DSL line, and it worked fine. I wanted to extend the range of this network, and got another newer Airport Express, the 802.11n model.
First I tried to use the 802.11n to connect to the Internet and the old one to extend the network. Turns out the old one can't be used to extend a network, which is bad enough, but the 802.11n one refuses to connect via DSL for more than a couple minutes, then drops the Internet connection.
So I tried downgrading the firmware to 7.3.0 and 7.3.1, but it didn't help. Did a hard reset, factory default reset, soft reset, nothing worked.
Next I tried swapping the two, putting the old Express back on the DSL line and the new one as the bridge to extend the network (using WPA2). But the 802.11n complains that it can't access the network and flashes amber.
Again, tried upgrading to 7.3.2, downgrading to 7.3.1 and 7.3.0, hard reset, soft reset. Nothing works.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Fairfax71

I don't see any option in the Airport Admin Utility for the old Express for creating a WDS network, only to participate in one...?
That is the option you want to choose.
You could use the newer AirPort Utility to configure the older AX.
Sorry, forgot to ask something else: The 802.11n Express is able to join the WLAN created by the 802.11b/g Express as a client, but not extend it, is that what you're saying?
No. If you join the network the AX is simply acting as another wireless client and is not extending the network. The "extend" option is not available since the older AX is not 802.11n capable. You must use WDS.
Use AirPort Utiity and follow these steps for both AX's. To set up the main AX:
Click the AirPort status menu in the menu bar and choose the wireless network created by the base station you want to set up as the main base station.
Open AirPort Utility (located in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder on a Mac, or in Start > All Programs > AirPort on a Windows computer). Select the main base station, and choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click the base station to open the configuration in a separate window. Enter the base station password if necessary. If the base station is using the default password of public, you will not be prompted for a password.
Click the Wireless button, and then choose “Participate in a WDS network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu.
Click WDS and then choose “WDS main” from the WDS Mode pop-up menu.
Select the “Allow wireless clients” checkbox if you want client computers to connect to this base station.
Click the Add button and enter the MAC address of the base stations you want to connect to this base station. If there is a base station listed that you’d like to remove from the list, select the base station and click the Delete (–) button.
Click Update to send the new settings to the base stations in the WDS. By default, the “Allow wireless clients” checkbox is selected. If you deselect the checkbox, and later want to change the settings on the base station, you must connect to the base station’s LAN port with an Ethernet cable. You will not be able to connect to the base station wirelessly.
To set up the second AX to connect to the main AX:
Open AirPort Utility. Select the AX, and choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu. Enter the base station password, if necessary. If the base station is using the default password of public, you will not be prompted for a password.
Enter the same network password as the main base station, if necessary.
Click the AirPort button, and then click Wireless. Choose “Participate in a WDS network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and choose the same channel as the main base station from the Channel pop-up menu.
Click WDS and choose “WDS remote” from the pop-up menu.
Enter the MAC address of the main base station in the WDS Main field. The MAC address is also referred to as the AirPort ID and is printed on the label on the bottom of the base station.
Click Update to transfer the settings to the base station.

Brightness with bootcamp and windows 8.1 on rMBP 13 2013

Hi,
I've googled for this issue and i've found many potential solves of my problem:
- Turning off adaptive brightness
- disabling Light sensor in Device Manager
- deleting SensorsAlsDriver.dll
Nothing works. I'm actually using Win 8.1 Pro N x64 with installed Media Feature Pack and with the newset updates. It is fresh-installed via bootcamp manager.
After sleeping and waking up my Mac brightness buttons magically start working!
What do I suspect?
When i delete SensorsAlsDriver.dll and uninstall Proximity sensor in Device Manager, after reboot Windows re-installs the sensor, and re-apply the .dll file.
I dont have an idea how to prevent OS from doing it...and I think it is potential solution.
Could someone help me solving this problem?

I've been experiencing this same issue. I have the exact same laptop and running windows 8.1 pro through bootcamp. Everything runs great except the brightness doesn't seem to work properly. Also the keyboard's backlight is maxed out everytime i turn it on no matter what the lighting conditions. This isn't too big of a deal as i can turn it down once its on but still a minor inconvenience. My bigger issue is that the laptop's brightness is set to a certain level when i boot up in windows 8.1 and i can't change the level of it. I've tried disabling the adaptive brightness with no fix. I read somewhere that disabling the generic PnP monitor under device manager might fix it but im worried that it will disable my laptop's screen altogether and have to redo my bootcamp partition all over again. I have the latest bootcamp drivers for apple that were updated in early feb (2014) so I know that's not the issue and i have also tried reinstalling the bootcamp drivers but it just seems to do it again after a reboot. Dont' know any other fixes. I really want to get this working, other than that, bootcamp on windows 8.1 is perfect on my 13 retina pro.

Problem with bootcamp and windows xp disc

Hi! I've been using mac for about 3-4 years now and I am fairly acquainted with my Macbook pro.
My problems surfaced 2 days ago when a friend of mine opened it up and changed the harddrive to this: http://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/seagate_momentus_500gb/
My friend then did a clean install of OS X Snowleopard (not with the OS X-disc that came with my MBP) and all seemed to work fine.
But the problem is that my MBP don't seem to recognize or can't read Windows-installation DVD's. I insert the disc, the MBP reads the disc 2-3 times and then just spits it out. I have tried this with two diffrent Windows XP SP2 discs and one Windows 7 home disc with the same result.
Sometimes though (completely random) it seems to recognize the Windows disc and I can start the Windows installation via bootcamp, but halfway through the installation the disc still ejects.
The funny thing is that I ONLY have this problem with Windows-discs. OS X-discs, media-DVD's and unwritten CD's is no problem at all.
And I have repeatedly "repaired" and "reinstalled" OS X with both the snow leopard-disc and the OS X-discs that came with my MBP but I still get the same result. I have also tried SMC-resetting and doing a "safe start" but it still doesn't work.
So... Halp? :3

802.1x with ACS and Windows AD

Hi
Im trying to setup 802.1x with ACS 5.2 but am struggling as its very differnet to ACS 4.2.
I have setup the ACS to be the domain and think i have setup up the External Idnetity Store, however when i try to authenticate a pc using authentication Medthod 'PEAP (EAP-MSCHAPv2), i get a failure reason '22056 Subject not found in the applicable identity store'
Marco

Hi Marco,
i guess you've missed a mapping configuration in the Access Policy Section.
Create a Access Service name it AS-802.1x select User Select Service Type and select Network Access. Select the Policy Structure Identity and Authorization. Select PEAP as allowed Protocol. Click Finish
You'll see the new service click Identity.
Select the identity source you've created then save.
Click on authorization
Select a default authorization rule permit access and save.
Create a Service Access Rule name it 802.1x
Select Protocol Radius as Condition and as Compound Condition select RADIUS-IETF:Service-Type match Framed then select the service you created before.
then you can try again.
regards
alex

Screen print imac with bootcamp and windows 7 64 bit

I have a new 27" Imac i7. I have boot camp installed and windows 7 64 bit. I have auto-cad installed for college. There are several assignments that require a screen print to turn in. I have not been able to figure this out. I have been using the snipping tool, but in certain instances i need a menu drop down included in the screen print. With the snipping tool the menu goes away. I have looked for some ways to do a screen print while in windows, and have been unsuccessful. I have a wireless apple keyboard, the shorter one. The F keys are enabled to be used as the real F keys without using the fn key on the windows side. So when i hit F10 for example it is the real F10 function. Does anyone have any ideas?

I can get those keys to work if i make the keyboard use the shortcut keys that are listed on the top. For example, if i want to use the f10-f12 keys to control the volume without having to hit the fn key. If i set the keyboard up that way that key combo will work. But if i set up the keyboard to use the f keys really be f keys without hitting the fn key, it will not work. Would you know how to get it like that? I have tried just leaving the fn key out of that combo and it will not work.

Camera is not working on MacBook Air 6,2 with Bootcamp and Windows 7 Pro 64-bit -- how to fix?

I have a MacBook Air 6,2 that has been Bootcamp'd with Windows 7 x64 Pro. Everything works find except for the camera, which does not appear to work at all. In the Windows Device Manager it shows the camera as installed with a working driver, but the camera never turns on.
Any ideas on how to make it work?

Hi,
If there is no error after the disk checking, please temporary disable antivirus, update BIOS and device drivers such as hard drive from computer manufacturer’s
website to check the result.
If the issue persists, I suggest you boot in Safe Mode, and clear the temp folder. Delete every files that can be deleted.
C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Temp

Problems with Bootcamp and windows 7

I have a MBP (not sure what year it is, 2009, I think) 15" 2.53Ghz Core 2 Duo, 4GB. It has Leopard 10.5.8 on it and Bootcamp 2.0.
I have a Windows 7 install DVD and I would like to install Windows 7 under boot camp on it.
Bootcamp 2.0 looks like it's all about Windows XP and Vista, and when I insert the Windows 7 DVD it doesn't even recognise it.
Looking on the Apple support site in the downloads section I can see some updates to bootcamp - 3.0 and 3.1 - but they look like they're Windows exes?!?
My question is - what do I need to get Windows 7 installed on my MBP under boot camp?
Thanks
M

You have to have Windows installed first before you can run the Apple hardware device driver (mobo) set.
3.0 is a year old but any new 10.6.3 or later SL DVD would have later 3.0.x drivers.
BC 3.1 is 6 months past.
You can install Windows 7 just fine. As for suppport... I don't know MacBook but if it came with 10.5.x then it came out before Sept 2009.
You don't need anything other than Boot Camp Assistant, and that should work just fine. If you need BC 3.0+ later, SL DVD is $29.

Problems with Bootcamp and windows 7 graphic driver

So I installed windows 7 ultimate on my 24" Imac 2.93GHZ with a Nvida GT 120.
I installed the boot camp software on windows, which installed the graphics driver and everything.
Anyway so I downloaded Dungeons and Dragons online cause I wanted to see how the performance is.
When I run it, it says no sutible graphics drivers were found, check to see if your system meets the requirements.
Which it does, the game is quite old and could run on a old Geforce 6600.
So I went to Nvidia to look for the driver, I thought I found the right one, downloaded it, but it didn't work saying that I didn't have the card. Am I supossed to download the mobile version of this driver?
Thanks!

Fixed it, just needed to upgrade my bootcamp.

What is the proper resolution to use with bootcamp and Windows 7 on a Macbook Pro Retina?

Hi All,
Let me start by saying I have read numerous articles and blog posts about choosing the correct resolution to use when running Windows 7 via Bootcamp on a MacBook Pro Retina (15"). I have not found the "silver bullet" (correct resolution). My eyes are sensitive to displays that are running in non-native resolutions (scaling).
When running the display in native resolution (2880x1800) everything looks great, except that icons and text are way too small to read. I have played with the zoom settings (150%, etc.).
When using any scaled resolutions, the display doesn't look as crisp and I get eye fatigue. I have also tried Windows 8, with the same results (no surprise).
I would love to use this Macbook to run Windows 7 because the hardware is great, but it looks like I may have to switch back to Dell/Lenovo/HP.
Is there a proper or "best practice" resolution to run at in this scenario? I want to give it one last try before putting the laptop away...
Thanks for any help!
Andrew

While I've never seen retina display, if you have not tried Hi-Contrast in Windows, you might find settings with it that are comforatable.
This is set with desktop rightclick->Personalize. You can vary desktop icon size in the View option above Personalize.
You can change most of what you see in Windows foreground/background colours & text with high contrast settings.
Also, text size in Windows browsers is variable with the Control an + and - key combo.
If the display you use is small maybe an external 24" or 27" monitor, if possible, would alleviate problem.
The attached pics are expadable by double click.

NO Sound or Audio with Bootcamp and Windows XP.

I have been trying to get this solved for months with no success. Everything I have read here . . . no one seems to know how to solve this problem from all the other sound problems I have read.
I have a MacBook and IMac with Core 2 Duo. System 10.4.9, Bootcamp 1.3 (June'07), Windows XP. Neither has the sound working with any program. I have reinstalled all the drivers 3 or 4 times. The "Sounds and Audio Devices Properties" from the control panel icon says "No Audio Device".
Can anyone help? Please?!?

External Monitor with Bootcamp (and Windows Vista Business)

It looks like this has been discussed quite a bit already, but as a computer neophyte I've had a hard time deciphering an answer that applies to my unique circumstance. So apologies if some of you've already been over this.
Anyway, here's my question/problem:
My second monitor (Gateway HD2250) doesn't work when I'm using Bootcamp (Windows Vista Business). I'm running a VGA cord from the Gateway monitor to a VGA adapter that's plugged in to the back of my Mac. My computer's a late '06 iMac w/ Mac OS X 10.5.5. BTW, my virtual Windows does seem to register the second monitor; it's just that nothing shows up on the Gateway screen.
Ideas for help? Thanks everyone!!

I managed to get an upgrade version of XP to run by using the internal DVD drive for the main all disc and an external DVD drive for my qualifying disc. Has to be that way round because the Apple keyboard ceases to function for a while and the required USB windows keyboard dosen't have an eject button. The whole business was very painful however, trying to get the installer restarts to select the correct drive each time.

Thunderbolt display not working with bootcamp and windows 7

I am running a late 2013 MBP Retina display with a Thuderbolt monitor. I am running windows 7 on a dual boot partition. I can not get my thunderbolt display to work while working in windows. The screen is currently black. I have attempted to follow the instructions in prior posts regarding this issue with no success. Is there a clear fix to get the monitor to work? Thank you

it has to be plugged into the machine before you power on the machine, it is not hot swapable like on OSX
does the screen work in OSX
