Boot Camp Windows 8.1 WiFi Internet Connectivity

I have a MacBook Pro (Mid 2012) running Yosemite, and I have installed Windows 8.1 via Boot Camp.
Most everything on my Windows OS works well, but I'm hitting an odd problem with the Internet connectivity. Sometimes, I can only get to certain sites in Internet Explorer, and NOT through Firefox or Chrome. And now, after initially installing a few days ago, I can no longer connect to the Internet via my Evernote, Dropbox, or Git apps.
Has anyone else out there experienced something similar? It could be that this is just a Windows issue and I need to post a similar query elsewhere, but I thought I would start here. I don't see any errors anywhere in my Device Manager, and I even manually added Evernote to list of apps that is supposed to be able to access the Internet via a private connection, but still no joy.

1. Your MBA does not support EFI/Free Space method.
2. You need to ensure that your USB is a USB2 device.
3. The MBR should be checked, because there are known cases where BCA fails to create the MBR.

  • Boot Camp Windows 7 No Longer Connects to Internet

    Hello, I have a mid 2011 iMac with Boot Camp Windows 7 installation.  It has run flawlessly for more than a year.  Recently however, I have been untable to connect to internet when running Windows.  The connection works fine as a Mac.  While in Windows, I can momentarily (about 10 seconds) connect by disconnecting and reconnecting the LAN cable.  Then the "no internet."  I have all the latest Boot Camp support software installed.  All MAC and Windows software updates are installed.  My network devices are configured correctly.  I have rolled back to previous Windows updates with no resolution.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

    your router, your Windows firewall, you are using something other than Windows Defender (8) or Essentials (7), something else on the cable.
    you had a storm and the modem is on life support and your ISP can login and see what errors the modem is showing, you don't have network surge protection (APC tend to interfere, Cyberpower tend to work).
    What else is on the LAN?
    I found Windows to be funny about network but 8 and 8.1 have never had trouble. With 7 I sometimes had to reboot.
    Besides Apple and Windows, some drivers are or often still needed - manually.

  • I have an iPad mini - trying to set up a wifi internet connection on Windows 7 laptop.

    Have a new iPad and need to still set it up.  Problem is that it needs to connect to a wifi internet connection which I have set up on my Win7 laptop.  The iPad mini sees the network but can't connect to it.........  What am I doint wrong?  I have set the network up via the adhoc network set up and have done everything as per the turorials I have seen, but it still won't to connect.  Is this possible and if so, how do I do it?  I have tried the ad-hoc network way and the iPad recognises it but can't connect to it.  THANKS A MIL

    Windows 7 Home Basic does not support ad hoc or hosted network functionality (what Connectify and Virtual Router use). At a minimum you would need to upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium. Note the Applies to these editions of Windows 7 statement at the right in this article.

    Again using a broadband wireless (WiFi) router is the best way to go presuming its in your budget.

  • Sony Vaio not recognising Wifi/Internet connections since System Refresh ... Help!

    I'm using Windows 8.1 on a Sony Vaio SVE1512C6EW.  It was running really slow, so I did a System Refresh and deleted a few programmes. Now it is not recognising Wifi/Internet connections and Audio doesn't work.  I don't know if I deleted the driver or it was the refresh.  Please help!  

     
    Hi nickisheps, 
    Thank you for visiting Sony Community! 
    Here in Sony Support USA for Vaio, we do not recommend System Refresh right away since your issue was slow performance. You could uninstall programs and check for viruses/malicious programs first, running Vaio or Windows update, etc. You are right about drivers. There is a possibility that some drivers and software are not properly installed or was deleted after the refresh. You may try this first: Go to Device manger -> Network adapter -> select the name of the adapter -> right click and select Uninstall (DO NOT DELETE). Restart the laptop. The default driver will be reinstalled. You may do the same process in Audio, just select Sound, video and game controllers. Check again if you the will connect to the internet.  
    If none of these work then you need to visit Sony's website (based on your location or from where you purchased the unit) and download the needed drivers. 
    Since your Vaio SVE1512C6EW is not a U.S. model and we have limited information about your unit and we do not have the drivers and software that support your computer. We kindly recommend visiting our Sony Global Web site for information on contacting the Sony Support Center in your region at http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/Support/. 
    Hope these help. 
    Best regards,
    Vincent

  • Boot camp Windows xp SP2 wireless is extremly slow

    boot camp Windows xp SP2 wireless is extremly slow or doesn't work at all. It shows connected on weird 270Mpbs good connection. Other PC and laptops work fine. They are on Linsys wireless N GB router.
    I heard some people have problem with SP3, but I am on SP2. If I boot into MAC os, it works perfectly.
    It's MacBook 13, just bought it last week. All drivers are updated.
    Any suggestion?
    Thanks

    I tried what Snackyotter did with no success. I don't really use the Caps Lock Key, or the Option Key at boot, when I want to switch to Boot-Camp and Mac OS X I just change the Boot Disk in System Preferences & vise-versa. Thanks for trying to help though. This weekend I am returning my Apple Slim Wireless Keyboard at the Apple Store. I still have the original packaging and receipt, I bought it offline and received it a few days ago. If the return doesn't go as planned and I'm stuck with this keyboard I will keep this question labeled 'unanswered'. If the return does go well I will label it solved, there is no need really to keep this topic waving around when I no longer have the Apple Wireless Keyboard. I have never EVER even thought of returning an Apple product before, wish me luck. To Apple though I must say that I am disappointed that you have had many months to fix this simple issue since this keyboard came out, but have decided not to. I will try to keep you updated. Again Thank You for your kind support.

  • WiFi Internet connectivity problems after upgrade to 10.8.4

    After upgrading to MacOS 10.8.4 I am facing regular interruptions to my WiFi internet connectivity. Periodically the internet connectivity is lost and the only way to fix the problem is to turn WiFi off and on again. This happens frequently when I am downloading files at using big bandwidth (more than 1.5-2 MB/s). If I use assist me on the Network preferences tab, it displays an ISP error when the connectivity is down, however I am certain that I do nota have any kind of ISP or router issue since at the same time I have WiFi internet connectivity from my iPad mini, iPhone 4S and Samsung Galaxy S3. Therefore it should be a 10.8.4 issue

  • How do you switch iMac 27" display when in Boot Camp (Windows 7)?

    Hello,
    My 27" iMac works great as an external display as long as the iMac is booted into OS X and I hit command-F2. 
    When I boot my iMac into Boot Camp (Windows 7) however, hitting command-F2 doesn't work to use my iMac as an external display.
    Is there any way to get the 27" iMac to enter external display mode if you have booted it into Windows 7 rather than OS X?
    Thanks!

    I have the same problem, 64bit Win7 Home Ed. loaded with all the recent updates including a Bootcamp patch from last week.
    I posted on 9/2/10 and haven't gotten a reply. Did a lot of Google searching but only found it is a problem many have, but that no "real" solution is available.
    Since I have had issues in Win7 after it crashes this way and after on/off (unlike you), I'm not willing to mess with it anymore.
    I doubt Microsoft will commit to fixing this and it's not likely to be a top priority for Apple.

  • HT201541 Mac mini Late 2014 Boot Camp Windows 7 sound issue

    Hi,
    I'm wondering if anyone can help me with my Mac mini (Late 2014) and Boot Camp (Windows 7). The problem I'm having is that there's no audio when I boot into Windows 7, though everything works fine under OS X. After installing Boot Camp and Windows, the audio worked perfectly up until yesterday, and now there's nothing. I've tried updating as well as uninstalling and reinstalling drivers, but this hasn't helped at all.
    When I open Volume Mixer and Playback Devices, the sliders show that audio is playing, but I hear nothing - either from the built-in speaker or when I headphones.
    The Device Status indicates that "This device is working properly" and that the drivers are up to date. Tthe following drivers are installed:
    dmk.sys
    HdAudio.sys
    ksthunk.sys
    portcls.sys
    SysFxUI.dll
    WMALFXGFXDSP.dll
    Has anyone else encountered this issue, or does anyone have any tips on how I might fix this?

    Is the volume Muted? The Mac has an Audio database of devices and volumes in NVRAM, so an SMC Reset or PRAM reset might help. Please see this link for appropriate keys Startup key combinations for Intel-based Macs - Apple Support.

  • Boot Camp / Windows Partion... Can it be installed on a separate hard drive

    I am just beginning to explore the idea of installing Boot Camp & Windows on a new Intel Mac I will be buying. I've been reading a lot of references to the Windows partition...
    Can I dedicate a separate hard drive to Windows rather than partition my primary hard drive? If so would it be best to use an internal drive rather than a Firewire or USB drive. What would a reasonable minimum drive size be?
    Thanks for you feedback.
    Mike

    Hi Mike,
    since only the Mac Pro can have more than one internal HD, I assume you are talking about getting one of them
    With more than one internal HDs you can put Windows on the second, third, fourth internal HD with the BootCamp Assistant.
    On a side note: Windows does not support to be booted from external HDs (neither FireWire nor USB).
    Reasonable size depends on what you want to do with it.
    Windows XP itself takes up to 3.5GB of HD space after installation, Vista takes up to 10GB.
    Add to that the HD space you need for the programs and data you use/produce.
    And when keeping in mind the hassle it takes to enlarge the Windows partition if needed, my personal suggestions are:
    Windows XP at least 30GB, Vista at least 50GB.
    Have you already had a look here http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/ especially at the Installation Guide ?
    Regards

  • 3rd gen atv drop wifi Internet connection?

    Why does my new 3rd gen atv drop wifi Internet connection? 2nd gen in bedroom works fine

    Hi Gvegastiger,
    The problem might be just with your iMac, so I will suggest you to check your firewall on your iMac, and if it is on make sure you are allowing incoming traffic in the area you need to work with...
    Second I would check the Proxy settings on your iMac as well under Network profile. Also for troubleshooting purposes leave the IP address DHCP if you have it set static. And Under Network/Ethernet make sure you have it set "Automatically"
    Third make sure you use ether Wireless or just Wired connection, not both. I don't know your network layout but if you have to separate networks that will be a problem when you have both of them enabled on separate networks.
    Let me know if this helps,
    Goran

  • Is Paragon's "HFS+  for Windows" safe to use in Boot Camp Windows &/or Parallel 8 Windows?

    Is Paragon's "HFS+ for WIndows" safe to use for read+write access to HFS+ drives when running Windows [8] via Boot Camp?
    Drivers that came with Apple Boot Camp (or maybe Parallels [8]) enable "read-only" access to HFS+ formatted drives from Boot Camped Windows, but I want to be able to write to the drives, too.  I'm worrying about whether something in those Apple (or Parallels) drivers for Windows that makes that possible might also conflict with other software like "HFS+ for Windows," maybe even make a risk of corrupting the HFS+ disk (either external or even the OS X boot partition) so badly that everything on it becomes lost.
    So I'm looking for people's experiences with using "HFS+ for Windows" with Parallels Desktop [8] for Mac.  Is it safe?
    Thanks.

    Thanks, Templeton.  Yes, within OS X using Parallels 8 the integration with the Windows Parallels virtual machine is great.  But once I leave the OS X / Parallels environment the folder sharing access disappears.  So when I Boot Camp to Windows I have no visibility into the OS X partition nor any external HFS+ drives.  (Except for a few specific activities that can only be done in OS X or are best in OS X, I spend almost all my time in Windows, so I usually wouldn't run OS X or Parallels to Windows.)
    Thanks GeekBoy.  Paragon HFS sounds risky with Parallels.  I'll be eager for more feedback about risks of using that combo from whomever can offer it.

  • Boot camp, windows xp and macbook pro-install problem

    MacBook Pro 1,1
    Mac OS X 10.6.8
    Boot Camp Windows XP
    I installed a SSD and want to put Windows XP back on the computer.
    I had Windows XP running under Boot Camp on my old HDD.
    During the Windows XP install when it tells you to
    press ENTER to install Windows XP
    press R to repair a Windows install
    press F3 to exit
    I can't get the install to accept any input from the keyboard.
    I tried searching the discussions but I'm not finding the answer.
    I'm sure it is just something simple I'm not doing. I had Windows XP
    running on this MacBook Pro before.
    Thanks

    I wonder if your XP works with SSD or some SSDs have had trouble with Windows on Macs...
    I'd search out PC forums + brand SSD for starters users with XP.
    Everyone I run across though have moved on to Windows 7 64-bit.

  • Windows APP without real internet connection stops working in time

    Windows APP without real internet connection stops working in time
    Hello all,
    I am trying to get the following to work. We have an intranet page which users need to connect to, to operate some machines. This is done through an windows 8.1 Tablet with an assigned KIOSK mode app (Kios SP Browser).
    This works great as the assigned app is the only thing the user can run and we don't have to really harden the device. One drawback in using the assigned apps is that it needs to be an New App (as Microsoft call it)
    The app is installed on an reference machine which runs in workgroup mode (no domain connection is needed on the devices) and after the reference machine is installed it is imaged with the use of Acronis. After deployment the tablet has no connection to
    internet and the intranet page is wireless put available to the tablets. As a side note, the tablet operates with local accounts and the app is installed using an corporate hotmail account we created just for this purpose.
    I now deployed the image over 20 different tablet devices and this worked great until recently a few devices start to complain it needs to connect to the windows shop before the app can be started. As the devices don't have internet access this can't be
    done and the tablet is rendered useless for the user.
    How can i make the app available without internet connection ? and how can i be sure the app will continue to work over time without connection to the store ?

    Thanks for the reply.
    I can't unblock the internet connection as the wireless network doesn't have any internet connection what so ever. The main purpose is to be able to operate the machinery and nothing else, hence the kios app which is being used to show the intranet page
    which connects than to the devices.
    The problem is that after imaging the app works as expected but after a few days the app stops to work ...
    I found the following website over site loading an app without the needed appx files. It shows an way to capture the files during installation from the windows store.
    https://www.404techsupport.com/2014/06/installing-free-windows-8-modern-apps-without-the-windows-store/
    It is a bit strange to have it this difficult to install apps without the needed store and i think that Microsoft should make this easier. I hope this works better and after a few days i will give the feedback how this handles..
    If anyone knows of a better way .....
