Audio driver for MacBook Air and Windows 8?

Is anybody aware of a solution to get audio from the built-in audio device of the latest MacBook Air under Windows 8 Pro?

The OP asked for "best" portable drive, not the cheapest.
Maybe you got mega bucks, but for me throwing money at at Thunderbird drive is STUPID.
How many times a day are you cloning your 200GB drive? Must be several times a day.
I'm all for getting the fastest computer with the most HP, but for backup money I'm going with USB external drive. I probably should state that I run my Time Machine about once a week.

Updated osx and flash storage for macbook air and now i can't start up

I updated my macbook air, and now when it restarts I get a circle with a line through it, then the apple, then the screen turns blue, and then it takes me right to the disk utility. It wont boot my desktop. Help!

You say you updated the flash storage. I'm guessing you just recently had it replaced by an Authorized Apple Service Center, perhaps as part of the replacement program.
If that's true, take it back to the Authorized Apple Service Center and have them fix it so the new flash drive boots for you. They should have done that originally.

Audio driver for HP Compaq with Windows 7???

Hi
Here's my problem...
I have a HP Compaq dc7100 PC tower, I installed Windows 7 on it, but now impossible to find a working audio driver...
There's only audio drivers for XP and Vista...
What should I do?
Thank you so much in advance!

Hi:
You have two choices:
1. Launch the Windows Update program and let WU download and install the W7 audio driver for your dc7100 or,
2. Download and install the Windows Vista Business audio driver for your PC:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=12...
If you installed the 64 bit version of Windows 7, you will need to click on your audio controller in the device manager, click on the driver tab. Then click on update driver and select the automatic method of finding the driver. Windows Update will download and install the 64 bit driver that way, but it won't if you just launch the Windows Update utility from the programs menu. Go figure!

Audio driver for Compaq NX7400 in Windows 7

My OS is Windows 7 Professional. The computer is Compaq Nx7400. Can anyone tell me where I can get a compatible audio driver for this laptop? I tried installing the one available for Windows Vista but I think it's not compatible since the computer always turns to blue screen (with dumping physical memory, etc.) so I uninstalled that driver and up to now, my audio device is not working.
Another problem is that this computer go to this blue screen thing from time to time and I'm worried that eventually this might not entirely work anymore. How can I solve this? Thanks!

Hi,
Go to Control Panel -> Devices Manager
Click with right button of Your mouse on each yellow sign and choose properties. Then go to bottom details and paste here Hardware Ids. This way we will know what it is.
Below You've got example how to do it:

Need driver for iPod video and Windows Vista

I had an iPod video and it synched no problem to my computer. There was a hardware issue inside the iPod so i sent it back and got a new one. Now when I connect it to my computer, it brings up the looking for a driver window and says it can't find it. Its only been a week since it worked fine.. I don't know if there is an issue with the new iTunes or what but has anyone had any experience with this issue or can simply tell me where to directly download or find the driver?

I too have had a problem with needing a driver for ipod. My ipod was working fine, then my computer stopped recognizing the ipod. It says it needs a driver for the ipod and I can't find one anywhere...need help..please

Common power adapter for Macbook Air and Macbook Pro?

I have both a Macbook Air and a Macbook Pro at home, and it would be really nice to have one magsafe adapter by the couch rather than two...
I have actually tried the Air 45w adapter on my Pro and it works fine as long as the Pro is not fully discharged. If the Pro is unable to start up on battery, it's also unable to start up on the 45w AC. But otherwise it seems fine.
In the reverse direction, normally I use the 85w Pro adapter for both the Pro and the Air. That also works fine; the drawback there is that, since the Air receptacle is mounted at an angle, and the magsafe connector on the Pro adapter is straight-ahead, I have to put the Air on a pillow and even so the connector comes out frequently.
The obvious solution would be an 85W adapter with an Air-style right-angle connector. I find the angled connector is not a problem at all on the Pro.
A few questions therefore:
1) Am I doing any damage, in either direction, using the 45W adapter on Pro or using 85W on Air? My guess is that the adapter and the system are smart enough that it's not a problem. Put another way, I suspect the designers accounted for the possibility that idiots like me would plug one computer's adapter into a different model, and they made sure it was not harmful. But that's speculation on my part. Anyone got any real information?
2) I have done the obvious web search and can't find an 85w with a right-angle magsafe connector. Am I missing something obvious?
3) My next step is to snip both cords and splice an Air connector onto a Pro adapter. I'm not super handy so it will probably be kind of an ugly job. Anyone got any suggestions on the cleanest way to do this?

Hi Ottosmo!
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
1) While it's certainly recommended to use the appropriate wattage on the charger, I too have often found myself using a MacBook Pro (85w) and MacBook (60w) with my MacBook Air. I've yet to encounter an issue in the almost 10 months I've been using my Air. The wattage on the power adapter, to my knowledge, is an indication to the amount of potential power that the charger can deliver to the unit. I know I've read various "blogs and forums" indicating that the power adapter is smart enough to 'scale' back power appropriately.
Now with that being said... should something happen, for whatever the reason, with you using the non-supplied adapter then you'd be taking matters into your own hands. (take that as my own little disclaimer)
2) Correct, the 85w adapter does not come with the right angle adapter. The adapter on the 24" LED Cinema Display does have a right angle adapter that supports up to 85w. But I realize that's not what you asked.
3) Regarding "modifying" the cabling. I'd strongly recommend against it, especially if you don't feel comfortable with splicing and then insulating. Too much room for chance and potential problem/failure. If someone else wants to instruct you on how to do this, that'll be their prerogative.
I ended up purchasing an iLap 13" for using my MacBook Air. It's been fantastic and I have it set off to the side just enough to allow plenty of room for a MacBook or MacBook Pro adapter. Not to mention it allows me to easily use the Air in my lap without any ventilation issues.

No, highlight the drive and use the Erase tab.

I need an audio driver for Yoga 13 with Windows 7 Pro 64 bits English

Hi all,
I downgraded my Yoga 13 from Windows 8 to Windows 7 pro 64 bits, and ever since then I have a problem with my microphone.
Skype finds the microphone and can use it, calls are all working fine, but any other program using audio does not work with the microphone.
After troubleshooting, I concluded that I need to update the driver but I cannot find it. Anything that I find on the Lenovo support pages does not install (event the one found on this page: http://support.lenovo.com/fr/fr/downloads/ds002860).
After looking at this post: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Idea-Windows-based-Tablets-and/I-need-an-Internet-driver-for-Yoga-13-wit.... I figured I would to be provided with the link by someone from Lenovo support.
Here's the hardware ID of the soundcard: HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_14F1&DEV_506E&SUBSYS_17AAA001&REV_1000. In Windows it is recognized as High Definition Audio (in the device manager).
Thanks a lot for your help.

Hello,
From looking at the Yoga 13 Hardware Maintenance Manual and downloading the driver package from the Realtek Wireless LAN & Bluetooth Driver for Microsoft Windows 8 (64-bit) - IdeaPad Yoga 13 page and extracting (but not running) it to look at the contents, it appears the Yoga 13 uses a wireless LAN card based on Realtek RTL8732 chipset.
I would suggest that you try downloading the drivers, expanding, but not installing them on to a USB flash drive or SD card, then plugging that into the Yoga 13, running the Device Manager (filename: DEVMGMT.MSC), clicking on the appropriate entry for the wireless network adapter, selecting update, and then choosing the Browse my computer for driver software option, pointing that to the location of the unpacked drivers. Perhaps Device Manager will find the correct drivers to install that way.

HP Print Software for MacBook Pro and Windows 7 gone awry on HP OfficeJet Pro 8600

Almost one year ago today I wrote a post about my first problem with HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 N911. Today I write my last.
I have an HP OJP 8600, with option Tray 2 included, and auto feed included. My system test computers are:
1. Apple MacBook Pro, OS X 9.5, HP software is the only 3rd party software.
2. HP Laptop, Windows 7.
The OJP wireless radio gave up, so I cannot run it wirelessly. It is connected by ethernet to my router. All five of my computers can use. All of the functions of the printer are usable. For example: it prints, it scans, it copies, it faxes. All functions working. My problem is with the HP software download to the Apple and to the HP Laptop.
I would like to be able to use all of the feature settings when I print. But alas, I cannot. Both the Apple and the HP Laptop have a similar appearing window that opens when you choose to print something. In theory, you are supposed to be able to control a range of paper types and quality, print type and quality, and (in my case with the two trays) what tray to use to select the paper.
I regret neither of the computers perform these functions. And all of the mistakes that I find on the Apple computer I find on the HP Laptop Windows 7 computer.
I don't have the time to test every combination. But I think the table below will help you get an idea of what the problem is with the software that HP sends offshore for maintenance.
The results of the paper quality selection, the print quality selection, and the tray availability are as follows:
PAPER PRINT QUALITY TRAY AVAILABILITY
Plain Paper
Plain Paper DRAFT/NORMAL/BEST/MAX DPI gray Auto/Tray 1/Tray 2
Thick Paper DRAFT gray/NORMAL/BEST/MAX DPI gray Auto/Tray 1/Tray 2 gray
HP Bright DRAFT/NORMAL/BEST/MAX DPI gray Auto/Tray 1/Tray 2
InkJet
Other DRAFT gray/NORMAL/BEST/MAX DPI gray Auto/Tray 1/Tray 2 gray
HP Bright DRAFT gray/NORMAL/BEST/MAX DPI gray   Auto/Tray 1/Tray 2 gray
Specialty
Other DRAFT gray/NORMAL/BEST/MAX DPI gray   Auto/Tray 1/Tray 2 gray
Card   DRAFT gray/NORMAL/BEST/MAX DPI gray Auto/Tray 1/Tray 2 gray
Brochure
HP Brochure DRAFT gray/NORMAL/BEST/MAX DPI gray   Auto/Tray 1/Tray 2 gray
Other DRAFT gray/NORMAL/BEST/MAX DPI gray   Auto/Tray 1/Tray 2 gray
In summary the new HP Print software for Apple and Windows 7 computers has identical programming mistakes on both operating systems. Under no circumstances can I use the MAX DPI setting.
The user cannot use the features that are built in to the HP software because the paper selections override the locked tray, the print quality, and the unusually small list of HP selection of papers.
It is time to invoke my warrenty rights. There are too many systemic problems with the software and the device. I don't have any more time to act as an unpaid system test analyst for HP.
Who do I contact to use my warrenty before it runs out in a few weeks?

Hi,
Those are not programming mistakes, but those are limitations of the product, please check the printer specifications below:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02858465&tmp_track_link=ot_faqs/top_issues/en_u...
As you may find under Paper-handling specifications > Paper tray capacities, Tray 2 only support Plain Paper.
Maximum DPI is only only supported on Photo Paper, therefore those limitations are applicable.. these limitations are also listed on the Printing Specifications section above, Maximum DPI is listed as 4800 by 1200 dpi:
Color print resolution: HP enhanced photo quality with Vivera inks (up to 4800 by 1200 dpi Optimized on HP Premium Plus photo papers with 1200 x 1200 input dpi)
As well that can be find listed within the Print photos on photo paper or the Print borderless documents sections, you may simply search for Maximum DPI within the user guide as a reference:
http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03026243.pdf
Those are not an issues with the printer but those expected limitations fully meet the product specification.

Can i use time capsule as external hard drive for both mac and windows

I have a mac book pro, ipad and iphone and ipod and a windows pc
Can i use time capsule as a external hard disk only for all of the above ( including windows ) without the back up activity for mac ?

You cannot access the TC from iOS devices without a browser. eg filebrowser.
Can i use time capsule as a external hard disk only for all of the above ( including windows ) without the back up activity for mac ?
Yes, with the following proviso.. the TC is not able to back itself up.. so if you store files on the TC without backups one day you will discover all your files are gone because of a hard drive failure of the TC. TM also cannot backup TC.. so you will need to buy a proper backup software.
It is also much slower than a real NAS..
And windows can be a bit painful.. especially windows 8.. other versions should work if you spend the time getting everything set right.

Best external hard drive for Macbook pro and Aperture

Hi, any recomendations for an external hard drive for the macbook pro and aperture. I was looking for approx 300Gb !
Many thanks
macphi

Personally I have had poor luck with LaCie Big Disk peformance and support and don't recommend LaCie. However I do recognize that my sample of one is statistically insignificant.
The eSATA concept is interesting, but bleeding tech edge at the moment. For a solid solution that works now I recommend FW800 (forget USB) and RAID 0 technology. I have had great success with OWC and just bought their least expensive (in $ per GB) 640 GB FW800 US$370 RAID O drive setup: <http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/ME8R7640GB16/>.
Just this week OWC introduced RAID 0 +1 drives that have RAID 0 speeds but also provide mirror backups. Perhaps the very best solution but pricey.
EDIT: If you bought a 15" MBP instead of the 17" you forever lack FW 800. Go for a FW 800 or an eSATA Express Card solution when available. You could buy an OWC drive now and jusr run it FW 400 until you get an Express Card FW800 port. The OWC drive came with ports and cables for both FW 800 and FW 400.

Problems with wireless printer set up for Macbook Air and iMac

I'm not having success in setting up my Macbook Air (2012 ML version) and iMac wirelessly to a new Epson 837 printer. I've tried darn near everything and am coming to the conclusion that perhaps it's a router issue. Are there known issues with the Netgear N600? It's supposed to be Airprint compatible but yet my ipad and iphone doesn't recongnize either.
Any thoughts would be appreciated!

Yup, and since all your devices can probably access the Internet and other services over the router, you may want to study the printer's manual or use other Epson resources to figure out why that thing can't be talked to.
Oh, did I mention that already...?

AUDIO DRIVER FOR MACBOOK

Hi guys, my name is thiago and i have a MacBook
i used the boot camp to install Windows Vista in it
after installing all drivers with the Apple CD
i noticed that my speakers were not working in Windows Vista
even though in Mac it works...
what is the problem with it ? where can i find the correct driver to install ?
thank you all
regards
thiago

Well, my first experiance of the applecare helpline did not go well, after explaining my problem (including not having the start-up discs) thier first responce was "a set of replacement discs will cost around £90-£100 (english pounds) strange since i called the Irish number (and ireland like most of europe uses euros??) thier second solution "you should reinstall the operating system using the start-up disks that came with the machine" just made me think i was talking to a idiot.
I then changed focus and asked if/where i could find out what soundcard is installed and i was told "we dont keep such specific information about our products" ????? Apple doesnt know what soundcards are installed on thier own machines??? can this be true ???
Im off to an applestore to see if they can tell me the same with a straight face.
So without knowing the specific soundcard, is there such a thing as a "generic driver" i could use??

How to get correct HP Photosmart B010 driver for Macbook Air?

I used the HP Photosmart Printer/Scanner on my 13" MBP with the extended HP drivers (incl. enhanced Scanning driver/software). After migrating my User Data to the MBA 13" I am not able to get that driver/software from HP because HP references to the Mac Appstore. Any idea?
Thx.

I see. Unfortunately you are right, there is no additional software for this printer in OS X 10.8. Image Capture and Preview are the built in options. You can try using Vuescan if you would like, but it is not free. I'm very sorry for the inconvenience.
