Boot Camp 3.0, Win XP and new Audio Drivers for MacBook Pro Core2Duo

I just installed the new drivers in Boot Camp 3.0 on my 2006 Core2Duo MacBook Pro. Before the update, my audio worked perfectly, but after the update, I have a lot of static sound coming from my speakers. I can hear the audio, but it sounds staticy, if that's a word.
Has anyone else had this problem?

Just in the process of trying it myself for audio problems after BC 3.0
It worked.
My sound problems with BC 3.0 gone.
My problem was that there was no internal speaker sound on my MBP with the BC3 driver...only headphones, and no way to switch.

  • How can I know if my new internal hd for macbook pro is compatible?

    I have been trying to upgrade my internal HD for macbook pro early 2008 2.4 and have been having a hard time getting it to boot.  Problems with both WD and Seagate.  I am wondering if the problem is with Mavericks.  I got a good back up from Time Machine to load on the hybrid drive.  Then when I try to restart it shows the apply symbol with no chime and then a black screen comes over the blue screen with some code (strange problem I have never seen) I can see that all the data is on the drive.  I was able to partitian in disk utility.  Anything ringing a bell.  I have done several switches like this and this is the first time I have had so much trouble.  I reinstalled my old drive just to make sure there was not another hardward issue and everything is fine there.  In fact I have a new logic board freshly installed by mac. 

    Your machine has a SATA 2 interface and I'm sure the new drives are SATA 3. They should still step down and work though. It's possible your SATA cable is marginal and the newer drive is trying to demand more out of it than the old one did. A good test would be to put the new drive in an external enclosure and see if it works ok from there. If so, it's probably the cable.

    How did you install Mavericks on the new drive?

  • I need and VMS FTP recommendations for Macbook pro

    I need to access a VMS site using FTP for Macbook Pro.  Any software suggestions?
    thanks!

    You need a scanner to scan those slides and make either JPGs or TIF files from them.
    Do you have a scanner that can do that and that works with Mac.

  • Unable to install Boot Camp Update 3.1 on Windows 7 32-bit on MacBook Pro

    I have Windows 7 Professional 32-bit on my MacBook Pro and have Boot Camp 3.0 now. I've tried to install Boot Camp 3.1 both using the Apple Software Update on Windows and the installation from http://support.apple.com/kb/dl996 but it won't work. Are there any ways to solve this problem?

    Hi and welcome to Discussions,
    do you have any kind of Remote Viewing software installed, like LogMeIn or Go To My PC ?
    These are known to cause trouble with the the BC Driver packages.
    Check if there are additional Graphics Adapter shown (apart from the "real" one).
    If so, uninstall the remote software, do the 3.1 update and then reinstall.

  • Adata sp900 sdd 128-GB ssd, optibay optical drive to replace superdrive, and 16 GB upgrade for macbook pro mid 2012.

    Hello everyone,
    Thank you in advanced for all of the support.  This is my first post to the communities.  I just bought a 2.9 GHz core 17 processor MacBook pro mid 2012 13" with 8 GB of RAM and I am in the process of upgrading it.  When I bought the MacBook pro originally, I was told that I would never mac out the performance because I do not do a lot of photo/video editing.  This is true, but I am an academic researcher and tend to multitask often, having 20+ safari tabs open, SPSS (a statistical program), full screen mail app, full screen calendar app, and preview, iTunes open all at the same time.  I often get slow performance and error messages that state low memory.  This is why I am interested in upgrading the laptop.  I am getting ready to go to medical school and I want to have a powerful laptop.  I also want to future proof because I plan on having a dual boot system to mac OS and windows OS.
    Because I know I will be maxing out the performance of the computer, I want to take full advantage of upgrades, especially now because the cost of the components is reasonable at the moment.  The following are the proposed upgrades:
    1.  Upgrade my current 8-GB ram (2x4-GB) with 16-GB ram (2x8-GB).  I plan on using crucial RAM.
    Crucial 16-GB Ram: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008LTBJFW/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&coli d=2B1KHELSPJPNN&coliid=IYGJWGQDH8LV0&psc=1
    2.  Replace my optical drive with a hard drive.  I will place a SSD into my current hard drive position and then install my current HDD into the optical drive bay with the optibay optical drive caddy.  I am doing this because I plan to use the SSD as the boot drive and my current HDD as my backup and files drive.  I am putting the SDD into the HDD because I have read it is better to place it in this bay for performance.  I will put the other HDD in the optical drive because the performance of that one will not be as important.
    Adata SSD: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008LTBJFW/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&coli d=2B1KHELSPJPNN&coliid=IYGJWGQDH8LV0&psc=1
    Optibay Optical Drive Caddy: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0058AH2US/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&coli d=2B1KHELSPJPNN&coliid=I3GI8MGWAKXY79
    My questions:
    1.  Is the listed RAM appropriate and sufficient for my MacBook pro?
    2.  Is the listed SSD appropriate and sufficient for my MacBook pro?
    3.  Is the listed Optical Drive Caddy appropriate and sufficient for my MacBook pro?
    4.  Is there still a firmware problem that does not allow for SATA 3 (6Gb/s) support in the optical drive?
    5.  Would it be easier to format the new SSD outside of the MacBook using a SATA to USB adapter?
    6.  Does working on any of the listed components void my AppleCare (I plan on keeping all of the original components so I can replace them, if I ever need to see apple support)?
    7.  What is the best way to put Mavericks onto the SSD to make this my boot drive?
    8.  What is the best way to make all of my files remain on the HDD, but link to the SSD with the operating system?
    9.  Has anyone ever successfully upgraded to 16-GB RAM and used their optical drive for a secondary hard drive?
    10.  Is there any miscellaneous advice for this project?
    Please feel free to give partial answers.  I know this was a lot of information, but I wanted to be efficient in my post.  I am very appreciative of everyone who will contribute. 
    Thank you!

    16 GB of RAM is the best you can do.
    The optibay HD will null  and void your warranty.

  • New hard drive for macbook pro (late 2009) anti shock or not?

    I thought I read somewhere that if you replace a HD in your macbook pro, the new one should not have shock protection as it interferes with the mac's own internal shock sensor.
    So I went out and bought a Seagate 7200.4 500GB drive - without the 'G' Suffix - ie the non-shock version of the drive.
    I carefully opened my Macbook Pro and was surprised to see the drive in it was a Seagate with a 'G' Suffix!
    Does the macbook actually have it's own separate shock sensor?
    Is there any published data from apple as to what drives to use for replacement?
    Thanks!

    Shifty08:
    I can speak form experience!
    I got messed up 3 times with my Mid 2009 15 inch MB Pro (Some 13 inch units also) with a Seagate 500 GB Sata // 3 gps HD right after the EFI 1.7 update. There may be issue with some other larger 3rd party HDs including WD.
    This is my MB Pro present configuration:
    +MacBook Pro+
    +Model Identifier: MacBookPro5,4+
    +Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo+
    +Processor Speed: 2.53 GHz+
    +Number Of Processors: 1+
    +Total Number Of Cores: 2+
    +L2 Cache: 3 MB+
    +Memory: 4 GB+
    +Bus Speed: 1.07 GHz+
    +Boot ROM Version: MBP53.00AC.B02+
    +SMC Version (system): 1.49f2+
    This is my present internal HD configuration:
    ST9500420ASG:
    +Capacity: 465.76 GB+
    +Model: ST9500420ASG+
    +Revision: 0002SDM1+
    The resolution to these issues is now well established and discussed on a different discussion thread.
    One has to have Firmware EFI 1.6 installed to avoid the problem. If Firmware EFI 1.7 is installed--back roll it to EFI 1.6. Run the Performance update 1.0.
    In order to do this you have to remove the 500 GB 3rd party HD and "back roll" to EFI 1.6 from an external HD. There is a special download for this.
    If you have Apple Care or have 3 month coverage for free tech support have the Apple store do it for you. It is about a 20 min routine. Schedule this appointment with the "Genius" through the Apple care. Apple is aware of the issue though some of the Genius staff are not. There is an Apple Engineering bulletin on this. There is a *EFI 1.6 rollback.dmg* file which is on the apple site.
    Once this rolled back is in effect, then re-install the 3rd party HD. Then install the Performance Upgrade 1.0--and the MB Pro will work at 1.5 GPS--but this is better than nothing and it does not seem to be an issue for this MB Pro.
    Now one likely can install the larger drive in an enclosure and it may work without this modification. I have not done this so I can not confirm this.
    I did install the factory supplied 250 GB Hitachi HD in an enclosure and have it working as Universal boot drive.
    See below for details.
    +1394/USB20 Drive SBP-LUN:+
    +Capacity: 232.89 GB+
    +Removable Media: Yes+
    +BSD Name: disk2+
    +Mac OS 9 Drivers: No+
    +Partition Map Type: APM (Apple Partition Map)+
    +S.M.A.R.T. status: Not Supported+
    Volumes:

    +Writable: Yes+
    +File System: Journaled HFS++
    +BSD Name: disk2s3+

    This universal boot drive is explained in the Apple KB posting here.

  • RE: eSATA express card/34 and External Hard Drive for MacBook Pro

    I have a 17" MacBook Pro and do lots of movie editing. I need a fast external hard drive option to use. My internal is totally used up. Also need a back up drive.
    I am a newbie and all of my info is based on googling. My FIRST QUESTION: Can I, and would it be a good solution, to use an express card 34 such as, Sonnet Tempo or Firtek SeriTek/2sM2-E with an external hard drive such as SeaGate 500GB or 300GB.
    QUESTION 2: Why do so many of the SATA hard drives come without a case or enclosure?
    And QUESTION 3: Does anyone have any recommendations or experience with the express card/34 and SATA external hard drives.
    Thanks alot,
    Jill Rand
    And please, don't hesitate to tell me I am nuts...because I am peicing this info together without any experience at all.

    1. Yes, eSATA would be a good choice for an external enclosure with a SATA drive. Alternatively, you could use Firewire 800, but it's mostly a matter of choice.
    2. SATA drives a primarily used in desktop machines. SATA capable enclosures have made them usable outside of desktops.
    3. I can tell you from experience to get an enclosure with a good chipset. It makes all the difference in the world. Oxford is very good for firewire. Cypress AT2+ and Prolific 3507 are excellent for USB 2.0.
    I have a case with the new Oxford 924 chipset (eSATA, FW 800, FW 400 & USB 2.0) and couldn't be any happier. An added bonus; it acknowledges OS commands to power down on inactivity. Link: http://www.cooldrives.com/esata-firewire-800-enclosure-case-external.html

  • New Hard Drive for Macbook Pro.

    Hi,
    My old harddrive completely failed on my Macbook Pro. My new harddrive arrived today, i've fitted it with no issues but thats about it.
    I need to install OSX Lion from the original disk that came with the Macbook. I've tried starting it up from then pressing C after the chime but all I get is a grey screen with the Apple logo.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated and please accept my aologies for my ignorance!
    KR
    Mike

    Be sure your computer is connected to an active Internet connection. Restart the computer without any disc. Immediately upon hearing the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION-R keys until a Globe appears near the top of the screen. Since you are using Internet Recovery this will take quite some time so be patient. After 12-15 minutes you should see a Recovery screen.
    Install or Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
    Partition and Erase the hard drive:
      1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
      2. After DU loads select your new internal drive (mfgr.'s ID and size) from the
          left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the
          dropdown menu under Partition Scheme to one (1.)
      3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition
          button and wait until the process has completed.
      4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
                because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • New/Additional HD for MacBook Pro

    I have had my MacBook Pro for about 1 year now. The model I have contains a 120gb hard drive and I am finding that size is too small. Am I able to add another HD drive (and RAID the 2 drives for 1 virtual drive) to the MBP (is here a slot for another drive) or replace the current drive with a 250gb without voiding the warranty? (I purchased the MBP through BestBuy with the BestBuy extended warranty). I have recently purchase a 500gb portable HD, for pictures, but with the 120gb hd l can't include all my music and movies onto the harddrive.
    Thanks

    Am I able to add another HD drive (and RAID the 2 drives for 1 virtual drive) to the MBP (is here a slot for another drive)
    No. There's no room for a second hard drive internally.
    or replace the current drive with a 250gb without voiding the warranty?
    Replace the drive, yes. Without risking the warranty, no, not unless you have the installation performed by an authorized Apple service center. The new MacBook Pros have user-serviceable hard drives, but the previous models did not.
    Regards.

  • Recommended new hard drive for MacBook Pro

    Hi, my mate has a MacBook Pro 2.16 GHz. He wants to upgrade the hard drive to something bigger than the current 5400rpm 120GB.
    Can anyone recommend some of the best drives (or the best) to go with at this point in time?
    I think probably it's worth going for 7200rpm, don't you think? Probably looking for something in the 250-320GB mark.

    Presently the largest drive you can install is the Samsung 500 GB Spinpoint drive. It's the only 500 GB drive that fits in a 15" MBP. It's a 5400 RPM drive with 8 GB cache. Other drives are available up to 320 GBs (they all fit) varying from 5400 RPM to 7200 RPM - some with 8 GB and some with 16 GB caches. Models are available from the main manufacturers such as Seagate, Toshiba, Hitachi, Samsung, Western Digital. You will need to choose between performance and price.
    Good sources for drives are:
    MacSales.com
    Buy.com
    NewEgg.com
    Note that when you buy an OEM drive that vendors do not provide any warranty service. If the drive doesn't work you can get it replaced (right away.) But if the drive fails more than 30 days after purchase then you get your warranty service from the drive's manufacturer. New drives may come with 3 or 5 year warranties from the manufacturer. You will pay extra for the better option.

  • Video Card and Video Card Configurations for MacBook Pro

    Does anyone know where I look to confirm which video card is in my MacBook Pro and also examine the current configurations and possibly look at configuration values for the video card.
    I'm kind of new to Mac, but on the Windows world I would right click on the screen and then navigate to the Advanced Video card configurations. Is there something analogous in the Mac world?
    Thanks again.

    Hi Jason,
    use the System Profiler app from the Applications/Utilities Folder to 'examine' the insides of your MBP.
    You can also click on the Apple Icon in the Top Menu, choose About This Mac and the the More (Further) Informations button. (I have a german OSX...).
    The only avaiable configuration options are found in the System Preferences (Display and Energy Savings).
    Have Fun

  • Shouldn't Apple recall and provide FREE replacement for MacBook Pro screens with ghosting and dead pixel issues?

    Read the forum posts, Google the issue, watch the YouTube videos on the problems; they are everywhere. I purchased a 2012 Retina MacBook Pro and the screen is riddled with dead pixels, white ghosting throughout, and image retention issues, all from a company that promotes the quality of the product they sell. There's no way this issue facing so many consumers shouldn't result in Apple replacing these screens for FREE.
    I purchased the high-end machine for photo and video editing. Photo editing is particularly difficult when I can't tell if I have dust, dirt or colour shifts in my images or if it's just the screen overlaying these issues. I've never had so many issues with any screen I've purchased, from my Panasonic Plasma TV to my cheap ACER laptop. Please Apple, quit ignoring this issue.

  • What is macdefender and is it needed for macbook pro

    What is Macdefender?  This software tried to download on my computer by itself and during that process said I had viruses on my computer including a trojan.  Is it necessary to have a virus software on my Macbook pro?  Should I be concerned that several viruses were noted and if so, what should I do?  Thanks.

    Judy
    Your son is correct sooner or later someone will write a virus for Mac. Let's hope it's later! There is perhaps forms of malware that can get to a Mac, but from what more knowledgable than me said it's not likely if one is careful where their surfing, and the malware would have to be clicked on or downloaded. As I said you can download and intstall ClamXav it's free to use and has been around for a long time. If that's give you peace of mind then by all means do so. Actually I run it. You said you were looking at stock photos? Is that a website? I apologize I'm not familiar with. I know flickr. As for browsers I use Chrome as well, but a knowledgeable member of the forums said it is has security issues according the the site ThreatPost. suggesting Firefox was a better choice. However FF 4 has a huge memory leak affecting the Mac version. But I'm comfortable running Chrome. I'm running the developer verision of Chrome. Hope this helps. Thanks for the info.

  • Any new Nvidia driver for Macbook pro?

    Hey, after I upgrade to new OSX 10.6.x, my software Houdini (www.sidefx.com) viewport flickers every frame. It used to work fine on 10.5.x.
    I don't know it's the problem for OSX or Nvidia driver, at least, it worked fine on 10.5.x, so I think it is the new OSX bug.
    I use Macbook pro, I tried both 9400m or 9600m can't work. Please fix this.
    Regards.

    Ah, I see - Asking here is just asking other users - if you expected an answer/status directly from Apple here, that won't happen, sorry. Perhaps some users have heard on other forums in which case I'm sure you've already searched, etc. Good luck in any case.
