Boot Camp - Apple remote

Hi,
Under boot camp, when iTunes is selected, you can use your apple remote to play/pause & skip tracks. When iTunes is not focused however, this functionality is lost leaving you with just volume control. Are there any other remote drivers that can be loaded to enable skip, play/pause when iTunes is not selected or perhaps a Windows equivalent to remote buddy so I can attach these behaviours to specific buttons. I ask because I frequently game in boot camp with COD for example, full-screened on one screen & iTunes, playing on the other. This works great although I have to cmd-tab out of the game whenever I want to skip tracks, it'd be great if I could retain the skip functionality of the apple remote whilst in-game!
Thanks.

    Check this link from apple support http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1821
    Apple suggests disabling 802.11 wireless from windows xp. hope this will solve your problem. The funny thing is apple is not even sure it will fix the problem because they mentioned on their website "in some cases".
    Symptoms
    The Apple external USB modem may not connect, or may not maintain a connection for longer than a few minutes if you are using Microsoft Windows XP on MacBook Pro, MacBook, or Intel-based iMac computers that have built-in AirPort/Bluetooth.
    Products Affected
    Boot Camp, Apple external USB Modem
    Resolution
    In some cases, disabling 802.11 wireless networking in Windows XP may resolve this issue.

  • I can't find ios partition after installation of Windows 7 via boot camp. can someone help please?

    I installed Windows 7 via boot camp and now I can't find my Mac partition. My commuter boots up to a blank gray screen and after several minutes the Windows partition starts. I don't know what to do. Can someone help me?

    In Windows, go to Control Panel -> System. Do you see a Boot Camp option? If you do not, please download BC drivers as appropriate for you specific Mac year/model System requirements to install Windows on your Mac via Boot Camp - Apple Support
    and Boot Camp: Install or repair Boot Camp drivers.

  • Boot Camp drivers won't install on Windows 7

    I have a late 2011 MacBook Pro (10.10.2 Yosemite), and just installed Windows 7 (64-bit) via Boot Camp. It works fine but I am unable to install any of the drivers (version 5.1.5621). I put them on a flash drive but when I open Drivers/Apple/BootCamp, it says the program can not be run, check your bit version for compatibility (something like that)... I then try the troubleshoot way but this is what happens-
    Thanks for the help.

    Please verify that you have the correct drivers using System requirements to install Windows on your Mac via Boot Camp - Apple Support  and install or repair using setup.exe in the BC folder.

  • Can not install a Windows ISO in Boot Camp

    I created a partition for Boot Camp and I am ready to install Windows. Downloaded a trial Windows 7 ISO from MS and copied to a flash drive. Boot Camp does not recognize the ISO and is looking for an installation disk. How can I Install the downloaded ISO?

    Hi NCMau,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you are trying to install Windows using Bootcamp on your Apple computer. I understand you are using a trial version of Windows as well. To install Windows via Bootcamp on your Apple computer, Windows must be the full version. Please refer to the attached article for further information.
    Mac Basics: Using Windows on your Mac with Boot Camp - Apple Support
    Requirements
    To use Boot Camp, you need:
    An Intel-based Mac with a built-in keyboard, external USB keyboard, or an Apple supplied wireless keyboard, and a built-in trackpad, USB mouse, USB trackpad, or Apple supplied wireless mouse or trackpad.
    Mac OS X v10.5 or later.
    The latest firmware updates available for your Mac.
    Boot Camp Assistant, which is located in /Applications/Utilities/ . You can also open Launchpad and type Boot Camp Assistant in the search field.
    A DVD or downloaded (ISO) "full version" of Windows installation media. Boot Camp does not include Windows.
    For additional requirements, see Boot Camp: System requirements for Microsoft Windows
    Cheers,

  • Boot camp "needs software updates"

    ok i got a MacBook (13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008), that had worked nicely but this week i want to make a boot camp partition but the only thing i get its you have to update your software to use boot camp, i check all my updates and are ok, then i try reset pmc and try all over but in still getting the same message

    OS X Uses Disk Utility to manage storage. BCA will format the USB flash drive as necessary and build the Windows Installer on the USB, if supported. This is normal.

  • Boot camp on 2006 mac pro

    I am trying to set up my 2006 Mac Pro 1,1 to run Win XP with boot camp. I used the original Tiger install disks to put OS 10 (10.4.11 after software updates) on the machine.
    Now I want to run Boot Camp assistant, but can't find it in the Utility folder, and furthermore, I searched for "boot camp", and did not find it on the computer.
    Did I misss something in the install? Years ago when the machine was new, I clearly remember Boot Camp assistant (beta?) in the Utilities. Can someone help, and more to the point, tell me how to install Boot Camp Assistant.
    Thank you for your consideration.....

    BETA. It was not included, and expired in 12/31/2007.
    Currently requires 10.5 or later.

  • Numerical keypad not functioning in Windows partition of Boot Camp

    Unlike other users, the new keyboard is working fine in Windows -- mostly. Any ideas on why the numerical keypad on the far right isn't working? Is there a "Num Lock" key that I need to press when on the Windows side? If so: where? Can't find it on the keyboard.
    Also: does anyone know if one of the software applications (Parallels or VM Wave Fusion 2) is able to mediate these hardware issues?

    FYI, and for a bigger list of the Windows - Mac keyboard mapping see:

  • Windows 8.1 through boot camp

    are there any flaws in installing windows through boot camp and does the system run flawlessly after installation.
    i own macbook pro mid 2014

    Hardware is supported by BC Drivers available at System requirements to install Windows on your Mac via Boot Camp - Apple Support.
    You should avoid using stock Windows drivers that come from Windows Update.

  • Boot camp wont open windows

    boot camp wont open windows

    What you have downloaded is probably a .exe file that when run on a Windows machine, will download the entire Windows OS ISO (ISO is a CD/DVD image). Once you have the ISO available, installing Windows that you downloaded as an ISO requires a few more steps than just double clicking the ISO image.

  • Boot camp 4 stuck at boot up

    Hi
    I have a Mac Pro 1,1 which I am trying to install Windows 7 on a boot camp partition.
    Having burnt my ISO and inserted it into the drive and set bootcamp 4.04 going it has rebooted and when it has attempted to boot from the CD i get a black screen with the numbers 1. 2. and the command prompt select CD-ROM Boot Type with a flashing cursor indicating i should make a selection.
    Although I have a keyboard in it isn't interacting with the Mac Pro (no lights on num or caps lock and no response from keys) so i can't make my choice or eject the DVD. Obviously this machine has no eject button so im struggling to get the disk out to allow the machine to boot properly.
    Ive tried 2 known good USB keyboards but to no effect.
    Any ideas forward on this one?
    Thanks
    John

    The CD/DVD does not have relevant drivers for the Keyboard/Mouse. You can power cycle, hold the Alt key, and when you see the Bootmanager, click on the CD/DVD and press Alt/Eject.
    You  will need to download appropriate drivers for your hardware from System requirements to install Windows on your Mac via Boot Camp - Apple Support to a USB. If your MP is not listed, use the DVDs that came with MP for BC Drivers.

  • Cannot install windows 8.1 on imac 5k - apple support says "Correct, that machine can't install windows" Boot camp fail

    I have a brand new imac 5k, with 4ghz i7, 295x GPU, 3.1TB fusion drive.  Bought the machine so I could dual boot - I need windows for VR Dev work.
    I've spent the last week and a half on tech support calls with Apple Senior Tech agents, and Microsoft agents as well, and today have been told that indeed this machine cannot run windows 8.1.  Apparently Apple engineering knows about the issue, but says the problem is microsoft's.  Ugh.
    The latest iteration of the issue comes when installing 8.1 onto an external thunderbolt SSD (without even using boot camp) - I go through the EFI installer, convert the drive to GPT, format it as ntfs, but when I select the partition to install onto, the installer says it can't find the partition it just created.  Smuh? 
    I've also tried the install through boot camp.  This installation actually worked twice, but the install was unstable.  After booting back into osX, then returning to Windows, the windows install went corrupt and couldn't be repaired.  Subsequent attempts to install windows yielded a flurry of different errors, including "windows doesn't support GPT in this mode" or "the disk is locked, please unlock the disk" or "MBR must be converted to GPT" (where once I converted to GPT, the drive could no longer be found, despite the operation completing successfully.)
    At any rate, it's a huge mess.  I'd happily return the machine for a different config, but the company I bought it from will only swap it for a similar model -- so I've spent a pile on a machine that does not function as advertised; apple says "too bad, talk to Microsoft." Microsoft says "too bad, we've never seen this, this is an apple issue."
    Has anyone out there gotten windows up and running on an iMac5k with fusion drive?  If so, did you have to go through a crazy maze to make it work?
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks,
    MC

    After much gnashing of teeth, and a half dozen support calls, I'd all but given up.  I finally seem to have solved this though - sort of - by installing windows 8.1 on boot camp on an older iMac, then cloning the bootcamp disk to an external thunderbolt drive via Winclone.  That worked seamlessly, sticking to winclone's instructions, and I can boot via EFI to Windows 8.1 on the new iMac.  So far so good.
    I usually install W8.1 via EFI by using DU and a Free Space partition. The 3TB Fusion is first split into the underlying SSD/HDD physicals. OSX and Windows OSes are installed on SSD via EFI (no BCA). The OSX part and half the HDD are then used to create a new CS volume. The other HDD half becomes NTFS for non-Windows OS files. The Hybrid MBR method is completely unsatisfactory with the 3TB Fusion drive.
    How is the TB/Winclone image for performance of the OS (since pagefile.sys is also on the TB)?
