Boot Camp Issue: Mouse Problem

Hello. I occasionally use BootCamp to start up a version of Windows XP, specifically the latest SP3. The problem is when I plug in a USB mouse, it will work for literally 2 seconds and then stop. All lights are on, but nothing functions. Windows will say found new hardware, but even then through all the wizardry provided, the mouse still does not respond or function.
Secondly, I use the bluetooth mighty mouse. It connects 100% fine and is detected. That too after literally 2 seconds will not function anymore. Lights are on and all seems to be fine except for the mouse functions not responding.
Both mouses work 100% fine on Mac without a problem. Can anyone offer me a solution that will fix the situation? This is really frustrating.

Many of us "experts/long time Mac users" don't bother with Boot Camp and Windows, do we have no idea what to tell you.
However, Apple does offer Boot Camp forums here:

There, you'll find a USB-related forum and a Bluetooth forum, and the users there might be able to help you.

Did you make sure to declare you C: drive during the BootCamp setup process?
I had no problems with my BootCamp, XP, and Virus Protection installation.

New MacBookPro (alluminium) + Boot Camp + Photoshop CS4 problems

There seems to be problems with the video drivers and Photoshop CS4. Upon starting it says that Photoshop has encountered a problem with the video drivers and GPU enhancements will be disabled. If I enable it (Open GL drawing) anyway I get a messed up drawing sheet.
Adobe says it is important to update the video drivers to the latest version, but yeah, I can't, being on Boot Camp.
Anyone has had this happen too?
I'm waiting for an update on display drivers for Boot Camp anxiously!

Did you uppdate to bootcamp 3.1? To update to 3.1 you need to have installed 3.0 from your Snow Leopard install disc. What version of the display driver are you using.
See this thread that just started too.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2345677
3.1 solved the "display stopped responding" for me. Of course that introduced other issues.
Check your driver version and read here for other display issues fun...

IMac 24" Vista Boot Camp Video Display Problems

Just recently, as of Christmas 2007, I have had a new alumninum 24" iMac. Great machine! One annoying problem (really annoying) is under Boot Camp's Vista OS. I have a valid Vista Home Edition installed and operating quite fine.
Here is the issue:
After running in the Vista partition for more than an hour unattended (screensaver is set to blank or any other), the display is all distorted and wavy.
I have seen people mentioning video issues, and I have reinstalled Leopard BootCamp drivers, manually installed drivers as advised by others on this forum, yet nothing works. I keep getting the same ol' problem.
To explain in more detail: The screen is very pixelated and color gradients (i.e. standard Windows Vista wallpaper looks like an ugly histogram graph). When it's usually very smooth gradients of color, it's very sharp and distinct "smearing" appearance. Text and icons look terrible too!
As any tech support person would say: "Just reboot!"
Sure, rebooting clears the issue and it looks great again. Just give it an hour or two and the same ugly discoloration is back.
Anyone out there having issues with this in Vista? Of course Apple really promoted their new iMacs to run Windows under bootcamp (but they won't support it). Poor marketing if you asked me (it is their hardware).
Under the Leopard partition, I have not seen any issues with this display resolution. Leads me to believe it is for sure a windows driver issue. I have fiddled with just about all of the ATI Radeon HD drivers but cannot come up with a solution.
Any help, or updates on the drivers that may solve this would be greatly appreciated.
I'll try Apple again. Wish me luck.
Machine Details:
24" iMac (newer Alumninum - December 2007)
2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
OSX 10.5 Leopard w/ Boot Camp Windows Vista Home Edition (32 bit)

So, after three days with new drivers, I may have found an ATI driver package that might be working.
Here is what I downloaded and installed:
8-3vista32_dd59752.exe
Found here: http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_catalyst.aspx?p=vista32/common-vista32
I installed the package and by default set the ATI graphics card driver as an "ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600 XT" - so far so good!
I will keep you updated if this ends up not working, but so far no smearing screens and gradient issues within Vista (32-bit) Home Edition on my iMac.
Just thought I would share - again, Apple was unable to help. On my own.
Let me know if others have success with this.

Maverick boot camp issues

Hello,
I am relatively new to Apple Products and I have a Mac Book Pro and I recently upgraded it from OX X 10.8.6 and I am now running OS X 10.9.1.
I had been using Boot Camp and running Windows 7. No issues.
When the Mavericks update was completed, everything was running fine on the Apple side, but my boot camp partician and ability to use boot camp is gone.
I now have a 55 GB particioned as disk 04.
When I used the boot camp utility my computer was partioned in a 650/100 GB split.
I am not sure how to proceed at this point.
Is there a way to recover my Win 7paticianed portion, or am I out of luck and I need to start all over. What is this disk 04 I am seeing on disk utitility? Can I erase it or should I?
thanks for any help that can be offered.

I am deeply sorry if anyone was offended. I did not mean yell at anyone. I just wanted to state the most important paragraph as summary. When I have to yell at someone, I put all the text in capitals and bold and also with exclamation mark at the end. But anyway, thanks for the clarification.
Finally, I solved the problem by returning to the old system leopard.

Boot Camp Mighty Mouse

I have vista ultamate 64-bit running on boot camp. My mighty mouse does not work. When you add the bluetooth device it asks for a passkey. I have tried all of the options and the mouse still won't pair correctly.

I ran in to this same problem and found the solution in another forum. Just enter four zeros for the passkey and it will work.

Latest Windows 7 on latest Mac OS X via Boot Camp = display driver problems

I've just done (with difficulty) a Windows 7 installation via Boot Camp on my hot new Mac Quad. But when I use Photoshop Elements for Windows-- the problem may occur with other Windows applications too but I haven't tried them yet-- I'm getting frequent blackouts and recoveries accompanied by the now slightly infuriating error message, "DISPLAY DRIVER STOPPED RESPONDING AND HAS RECOVERED. Display driver Radeon ATI family stopped responding and has successfully recovered."
I'm also getting frequent spotty screens which suggest compatability problems. What gives? Are other people troubled by this? Seems to me that this is a problem crying out for an Apple software fix. But other people may have an answer now.

Did you uppdate to bootcamp 3.1? To update to 3.1 you need to have installed 3.0 from your Snow Leopard install disc. What version of the display driver are you using.

Boot Camp Issue

Hello everyone.
I have this issue where I am trying to install Windows on my Mac but every time, after about 45 minutes or partitioning I get this message:
"Back up the disk and use Disk Utility to format it as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume. Restore your information to the disk and try using Boot Camp Assistant again."
I have 2 issues:
1)I don't know how to back up the disc and...
2)I don't have an extra hard drive to back it up to.
Here's the real kicker. It is already formatted as a "single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume" and here is the picture of my issue:
http://img10.imageshack.us/i/picture1lf.png/
I have tried using Boot Camp once before and it worked just perfectly, but I had to back out in the middle of the process of installing Windows, but I reopened Boot Camp and erased that partition, so it should be perfect.
Thank you all for help. This has been driving me crazy. xD

When I was in the Windows world I had seen this type
of problem with some cd's before. So I just decided
to try it in this case.
Well, I'm very, very grateful. You saved my bacon. I delivered the MacBook Pro on time today because of your tip. Very much obliged.
I also installed MacAffee's Virus package (2006) and struggled to get it upgraded until I finally realized that my Airport Base station and Express units needed an upgrade. After I upgraded and rebooted all of them, my the MacBook Pro was able to join the wireless network just fine.
Do you have any recommendations for a great cloning utility for the PC partition? I'm assuming that my fave, SuperDuper! will not make a FAT32 partition and then clone that drive, so I'm wondering what to do. On the PC side I believe they call this making a "disk image" that one can restore a system with. What's your experience with this kind of thing? I really loathe incremental back-ups that one cannot boot with, and I'm wondering how best to support this computer in the future. I went to PC World and liked the program: Acronis True Image 9.0 Home I'm going to try it out.
The last thing I'm curious about is what the best way to protect the Mac side of the computer from PC viruses and worms. I'm not really up to date on that. Can a PC virus wreck havoc to files on the Mac side if I've used the FAT32 formatting? I thought that would be beneficial format because it would allow me to move files (at least) from the Mac side to the PC side.
Any other good threads I should be following here?
Thanks again for your help, Bill. If I could give you another blue dot next to your name (for ranking) I would.
cheers,
Mick

A weird Vista/Boot Camp issue

OK, this one seems backwards to me. My XP Boot Camp installation failed after 4 months of relatively trouble free operation. Parallels started flaking out about a month ago, so I started to use Fusion. Long story short, I blew away the partition and installed Vista Enterprise instead. All seemed to go well, and I successfully set up the Parallels VM using the Boot Camp partition. However, I can no longer boot into Boot Camp Vista. It hangs every time at the dotted progress line (or whatever it's called). I've tried repairs via the Boot Camp install process and have reinstalled the Boot Camp Drivers - to no avail. The strange thing is that I am still able to get into the Vista partition using Parallels. In fact, it works great! What would cause the Boot Camp startup to fail that wouldn't also affect Parallels? Very perplexing.
I used to be a Mac hater, then I softened up and accepted them. Now, I hate PCs and Macs. One is just as frustrating as the other.
Any help would be appreciated.
Ed

Ask or look on Parallels forum.
The upgrade to Leopard and BootCamp 2.0 has bitten more than a couple, almost "out of the blue" just like you.
Vista Recovery Console or Environment would be one. Boot from Vista DVD and see if it can repair the partition.
The latest Parallels for Leopard are pretty much "test this for us" in some cases.
There are problems with Fusion 1.1 (beta) along with Leopard, too. I don't like the way Fusion degraded my BootCamp graphics (Nvidia Vista 64-bit) to "generic" and some other issues so I am waiting for these VMs to mature.
Also, I'm guessing that there aren't a lot of people using Enterprise or that have access to it. Business and Ultimate, yes. And Apple doesn't officially support x64 (though it seemed to install better this time around).
Don't beta test or adopt a new OS or anything.
I keep Vista on its own drive and it works quite well (user error: installed Norton SystemWorks).
XP failed. Parallels flaked out. Fusion died an early death. All have some common elements.

Macbook Pro Retina Boot Camp Issue

Hi all,
I recently purchased a macbook pro with retina display and installed windows 7 on it with boot camp. Windows 7 on boot camp does not wake on sleep after closing the lid or making it sleep for the second time. I have tried unplugging, pressing any keys but still no success, and eventually have to force shut down my macbook pro. Please let me know if there is anyone who has encountered the same problem and has a solution. Thanks!!

There was someone else that had a problem installing Win 7 in a BC partition on a retina model. The system would hang during the install and give a Win BSOD.
They returned that unit and got another which worked first time installing Win 7.
So it may not be Windows at all but some type of hardware fault with the Retina unit you have.
Just a suggestion.

Windows 7 ultimate 64-bit boot camp issues...

Whats up guys?
So here is my problem:
I installed windows 7 ultimate 64-bit on my macbook. The install went great and everything works like a charm except my headphone jack is red, and i have no audio, and no wifi. I installed 3.0 drivers from my Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard disc, and updated to 3.1, and it seems the update fails. This is the third day i have been trying to fix this, and i cant find anything. Apple doesn't even know what to do! I have tried DLing realtek drivers, nvidia drivers, intel chipset drivers, EVERYTHING! I don't know what to do, but i need windows for my new job! Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Josh

Yeah i have done that a couple of times. When i navigate through the disk it doesn't even let me run setup.exe, so i installed from bootcamp64.msi. Then after 3.0 installs, i try to update to 3.1 and after the nvidia install, it just quits. When i use my version tracker it says that boot camp is in version 3.0, and it shows an update for 3.1 in software update. Now when i go to uninstall programs, it shows boot camp 3.1 is installed.
As far as the audio, i have tried that as well. If i manually put a driver into that device, it fails on every reboot. It only shows working on Microsoft High Deff Audio Drivers( and it actually dosnt even work, it just glows red on my head phone jack.)
Im stumped.

Can not install windows 7 pro using boot camp as mouse and keyboard will not work Help please

I have a new iMac and trying to install Windows 7 Pro using boot camp. I have reached the stage of starting to load windows from the DVD then discovered the mouse and the keyboards not working so I could not interact with windows installation.

Open, if not so already, the Windows formatter. Identify the BC Windows partition. It will be the one listed with the proper size you created and/or will be labeled as a C: drive. Be careful you select the right one or you may be corrupting the entire drive.
Format the partition as NTFS.

Windows 7 and boot camp issue

On an iMac a1224 I installed windows 7 then boot camp from the os disc. Bootcamp version 2.1 was installed. The current installation and set up guide suggested updating bootcamp to 3.1 however that particular update requires version 3.0. That being said, is it necessary for me to update my version 2.1?
Thanks

Leeopard huh?
You need Snow Leopard w. 10.6.x to get 3.0.
If it works and no issues fine though probably the first time I have read someone did.
BC 2.2 was more about XP and some support for Vista.

Windows 7 with Boot Camp issues

Hi,
I have a Macbook early 2008 model, with 10.5, which apparently has boot camp 2.0 installed on it. Despite this, I managed to install Windows 7 64-bit on it, without issue, until I tried to install all the bootcamp drivers for stuff like the trackpad and the function buttons. It turns out that the only way to get the drivers for 64-bit windows 7 is by updating to bootcamp 3.1, which you can't do if you have 2.0 (not totally sure about that), because the OS X cd which should install the drivers, doesnt work for windows 7 64-bit. As far as I can see, you can't download the drivers from apple without the cd, and to use the downloads you do have, I would need bootcamp 3.1, which would require purchasing snow leaopard, and completely reinstalling my entire system (which would be an enormous pain). Is there any way around this? Can I download the drivers independently? The only thing I need to be honest is two-finger right clicking, because I don't use windows much, and that is pretty essential...
Thanks in advance,
Pete

Hi Pete,
you can buy Snow Leopard for about USD 29 but you don't have to install OSX Snow Leopard in order to install the updated BootCamp Drivers from it.
Since the BootCamp Drivers are on a seperate 'partition' on the OSX DVD (better said the OSX DVD is an OSX/Windows-hybrid disc) you can just install the BootCamp Drivers from it.
Regards
Stefan
