Bootcamp 3.1 and imac windows 7 64bit update not installing. Audio issues!

After many days of work getting the windows 7 working in bootcamp in my imac 27 (still with audio issues) I eagerly awaited the bootcamp update and imac updates.
Neither will install.
Then I find that according to tech support as of now I have to reinstall Windows 7 again for the updates to work!
It took me 5 full 8 hours days to get all my scientific programs installed and working, now I find I can't even simply update the drivers I need. I don't want to reinstall.
My only issues are audio.
Here they are:
1) The headset jack works fine on the Mac side, but in Windows 7, it causes the i7 intel CPU to go crazy. There is no CPU spike on the mac side.
2) The headset jack in the imac is a trrs jack. The same as in the iphone, a tri-band jack that has three bands, two audio out channels and one mic in channel. A trrs headset works fine on the mac side with using the headset mic (as in iphone) rather than the built in mic. (this provides much better quality for sound recording). I don't want to use a usb mike.
In Windows 7 the mic part of the trrs headset does not work.
3) In Windows 7 when going into audio devices recording, no audio mixer shows up, so when I do video or audio screen capture the only way to capture the sound is through the speakers and then back through the imac built in mic, rather than directly through the unit. (terrible sound quality) On the mac side the mixer element works fine.
Now I find from other imac users that even the new updates for the imac on windows 7 don't address and fix the audio issues. I am sure not going to go through 5 more days work only to find the audio issues still don't work.
I need these audio aspects to work properly though!
I have tried to get drivers for the cirrus logic audio card, but guess what there are none available and cirrus logic doesn't even recognize the board or offer drivers.
I have many windows programs I must have for my scientific research!I bought the top of the line Imac with all the bells and whistles because Apple promised that the machine could run Windows 7 in bootcamp natively!
It doesn't. This has been a nightmare of problems.
Is Apple going to step up to the plate and make good on their promises?
Does any one have a fix for any of the audio issues, or know how to install the new drivers without a complete reinstall of Windows?
Installing a few sound drivers and software should not require a complete reinstall. Getting the proper drivers for the headset jack audio in and audio out jack should be the most basic of fixes. Making the audio mixer work should be elementary.
If you are an Apple tech person or an Apple user that can help on these issues, please do!
Thanks, Dr. Duke

PS I will post this under Imac windows 7 updates without a reinstall and under
imac Sound issues.

On another thread a few people have responded saying that their imac has the same situation, the cpu is going crazy and the imac gets hot with headphones or speakers plugged in. But this doesn't happen in the mac side.
If you have an late 2009 imac and don't have these audio issues, let us hear from you. If you don't, lay out the problem here.
Here is my last two cents in to the inquiry.
Not only does the cpu run crazy but the imac 27 gets very, very hot. Since I unplugged the headphones, it runs much, much cooler.
Certainly, some Mac engineers should take care of this problem, it seems it is universal on all the imac 27's and from what I gather, the smaller screened cousins too.
Also, we certainly want a stereo mix option for audio in or out, or what is called "what you hear" or wave out. Imac is supposed to be much geared to multimedia apps.
Finally, the mic jack part of the trrs set up MUST be fixed! A lot of manufacturers are going to headset combo jacks as they call them, mic in and stereo out on the same tribanded plug. But, the old single jack for mic in and single jack for stereo out are two tiny parts of the hardware and super inexpensive for the manufacturer. Why in the **** to go to the "advanced" triplug if the **** thing doesn't work.
Mac has a great reputation. I hope they remedy these problems right away.
Anyone whose imac 27 or 24 whose headset plug is working correctly. Let us know! I don't think anyone's is, but I think that few people understand that their cpu is running so much faster with the plug in, plus few even understand the combo jack and the triband, or trrs audio jack! Out of 4 audio technicians I talked to, not one of them knew what a trrs jack was or that you even have a mic in jack as part of the headset jack!
When I told one senior that it worked on the Mac side, he didn't believe for a while, thought my sound might be recorded from the onboard mic, but I proved it to him by tapping iaudibly on my iphone mic headset and and it showing up in garage band clearly and listening to big difference in audio.
As for a usb audio adapter, I am in a neon light environment and find that those adapters are more sensitive to electrical interference. Besides I want to use the headset jack as it was meant to be used!
Thats it.
Again, if anyone using an imac 27 and windows 7 64 or 32 doesnt have these problems, let us know! We are all anxious for a fix!
Best to all!

  • Windows 7 64bit would not install on bootcamp partition

    I have a Windows 7 64bit ISO. I inserted a 8GB usb stick into my New Retina MacBook Pro and ran the Boot Camp to install Windows 7 bootable from the USB stick. It all went fine, booted into Windows install, and when I had to select a partition, I selected the only one that said BOOTCAMP and was 40GB, just as I created it earlier when creating a partition size compared to the total disk. I selected the partition and as I could not select next, I selected to format the 40GB Bootcamp partition. It didnt take long, but afterwards, when I clicked next, it showed up an error about not being able to use the partition or something, I cant fully remember.
    But now my OSX will not boot. When I turn off the computer by holding down the power button, it turns off, and then when I hold down the power button to turn it back on it does the grey screen part, and then shows a black screen and shows:
    No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key
    What do I do here?

    Hold the option/alt key down on a wired or built in keyboard and boot the machine, you enter Startup Manager and thus can get into OS X.
    Next, when your installing Windows, you first have to format the internal Bootcamp partition from the FAT32(MSDOS Apple calls it) to NTFS while booted from the Windows 7 install disk, THEN you can install Windows and it takes a lot longer than a few seconds.
    Read the BootCamp manual, there is also drivers you have to install into Windows

  • Satellite U500 - Windows 7 64bit (after clean install, wireless issues...)

    Good night,
    I've just installed windows 7 Professional x64. Now I'm experiencing some wireless issues such as constant breaks on the wireless connection (every 5 minutes more or less). I've tried to install the lastest drivers for the wireless LAN adapter, without success.
    By the way, I have a Toshiba Satellite U500.
    Any help? :)

    It's a U500/00k? Model PSU9MA-00K013.
    I havent actualy managed to access windows at all. The install problem has come up "out of the box" so checking any settings is impossible.
    It just keeps looping back to the same error message. The only software I have is what came on the hard drive, and an XP istall disc that came with the package. According to the manual, if i use the XP disk it will wipe XP completely.
    So frustrated right now.

  • Is there any way how i can download and run Window based games, with out installing Windows-thus Bootcamp? and if so, is it free?

    is there any way how i can download and run Window based games, with out installing Windows-thus Bootcamp? and if so, is it free?

    No, you must install Windows to run Windows software. You do not need to use Boot Camp (yes, it's free because it comes with OS X.)
    Windows on Intel Macs
    There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
    Install the Apple Boot Camp software.  Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7.  Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows.  Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
    Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows.  The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
    VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.  It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
    Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc.  There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization.  The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
    You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

  • Windows Updater Not Installing and Troubleshooter Wizard Is Not Working???

     I am in need help desperately!
            I have tried to install the Windows 7 latest update since late October 2014 and every time that I have tried it has failed, this is messing with certain programs to either not run such as my Troubleshooter,
    leaving me unable to fix the issue, and making my computer to run poorly as well as when I am on Firefox unable to load pages, do downloads, watch movies & TV, or watch videos on You Tube without having to move the mouse around to keep it running and just
    freeze the picture on the You Tube and Xfinity but the sound keeps playing though. I am unable to run the Troubleshooter Wizard at all; gives me an error code  0x80131018. I have gone to the forums to find a solution I tried everything possible. Such
    as trying to do all the maintenance; disc clean ups, compressing files to save on space, checking the disc drives for errors, defragmenting the drives, try to use the Fix It (MicrosoftFixit.malware.RNP.1343648269423620.1.1.Run,  as well as: MicrosoftFixit.ProgramInstallUninstall.RNP.1343648269423620.2.1.Run,

    I also installed Boost, also ran the scans through my Norton Security, and so much more to try and fix this problem, I just can't remember everything that I tried I have been working so hard at solving this problem since of the effect of how this Windows Updater
    failing at updating and Troubleshooter not working to leaving me unable to find and fix these issues.
               I am a Graphic Design Artist and I am pretty computer savvy but I am at a loss on this . If anyone has any advise on these issues please help me ASAP, I use my HP everyday and it is important for
    me to have it for work purposes, concepts and so much more. My Mother got this computer for me when I graduated from college in 2012 for my graduation gift so I can do what I do.
    Thank you so much for your help in trying to get this resolved without having to take it into somewhere and pay $$ that I do not have.

    I recently had a similar problem - Windows 7 Ultimate. Apart from updates not installing and troubleshooters not running I started getting crashes and BSOD's
    I checked that my Cryptographic services was set to auto (it was)
     Press the 'Windows key" and and key "R" together   to launch the  RUN  box. Type
    services.msc in the box and press Enter. It'll open Services Manager.
     Scroll down to  "Cryptographic Services" in the list. It should be set to Auto ( mine was)
    I then checked my Windows updates to see when the problem started
    Taking the bull by the horns I deleted the last 20 updates installed.
    I restarted the computer and was amazed to find the troubleshooters working ok
    I downloaded the Windows updates and installed them 5 at a time checking the troubleshooter after each batch. Everything was ok .
    I can only assume the troublesome update was not re-offered or the one that installed itself was corrupt.

  • Trying to install the new itunes update and it keeps saying error could not install itunes. Currently I am running windows 7. Any advise to fix this problem.

    Trying to install the new itunes update and it keeps saying error could not install itunes. Currently I am running windows 7. Any advise to fix this problem. This is doing this when installing itunes/quicktime, safari 5, mobileme control panel, and the software update itself. The itunes version is 10.3.1

    That suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

    If you are on windows computer,  navigate to  Control panel >  Programs and features.
    Then Locate the Adobe products and right click on it, then choose uninstall.
    In the uninstaller window you may uncheck 64 bit and uninstall only 32 bit,  may also do wise versa.

    Hi there!
    Yes, same problem too; I've already sent an email to apple support and just received a very vague and unpractical response with "call apple support in your country" as main advice. I've obviously emailed back stating that I need a clearer response and I don not have any intention to spend money calling for support when updates is a free tool. I do also believe this is a probem generated on Apple's end, I just wish they learned to say "sorry, it's us;  working on it!"

    There are two ways to recover from this condition.
    1. Select
    Store ▹ View My Account
    from the App Store menu bar, then select View hidden purchases. Stop or resume the download.
    2. Open LaunchPad and find the icon of the app you're trying to install. There will be a small progress bar below it. Click the "X" to stop the download.

  • Windows Moile Device Centre 6.1 64bit Does not install proply after laptop put on Domain and then removed

    hi Guys.
    We have a laptop where Windows Mobile Device Centre 6.1 was happily working ok on a windows 8 Laptop and was running ok when the usb mobile device was connected. The Laptop was moved into a domain when the software would no longer work.
    The laptop was removed  from the domain but the software still did not work. I have tried removing and software and reinstalling but the Device Centre 6.1 64bit program does not appear to install correctly. The event viewer seems to state that the program
    does install and gives a 0x0 install code. But no Windows mobile Device Centre icon appears also the 2 windows mobile related services are not created. I have tried installing the drvupdate-amd64.exe file with run as administrator and still the same thing
    happens.
    Anyone any ideas ? Could there be some old inherited domain policies hanging around that is causing the program now not to install correctly. ?

    hi Guys.
    WMDC can have great problems when trying to work with Computers that are in a Domain. 
    This is what solved the issue we were having.
    We have fixed this problem on our network.
    The key to this was understanding the role of the TrustedInstaller security principal in the Windows Resource Protection
    feature introduced in Windows Vista. TrustedInstaller is a Windows service with the display name Windows Modules Installer in the Services list. Its full name is NT SERVICE\TrustedInstaller, which is what you use in permissions dialogues and the like.
    The
    reason we had a problem is because we followed the advice issued by Microsoft in response to the Conficker virus outbreak. See  http://support.microsoft.com/kb/962007
    In this Virus alert, Microsoft do point out that following their advice might cause problems with installing updates.
    Our implementation of that advice was to create a group policy which modified the permissions on the registry key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SvcHost.
    In order to allow Windows Mobile Device Centre to install successfully we reverted the permissions back to what we
    think is their default values. On our PCs the key permissions are:
    HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion
    Owner: TrustedInstaller
    TrustedInstaller permissions: Full Control & Read, not inherited
    HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SvcHost
    Owner: System
    TrustedInstaller permissions: Full Control & Read, inherited from CurrentVersion
    Microsoft have effectively told us that the Mitigation steps in the advice were only supposed to be applied temporarily.
    However, if someone doesn’t want to be responsible for removing this GPO, as far as we can tell, once WMDC is installed you can re-apply it without breaking anything WMDC related; devices are detected, drivers installed and connections established as normal.

  • Windows 7 Pro will not install on iMac after HD replacement.

    I have a late 2009 iMac on which I have OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion and ran Windows 7 Professional in Bootcamp. My iMac wound up having a defective hard drive which was just replaced last week under warranty. The problem is now I am unable to install Windows 7 in Bootcamp. I use the Bootcamp assist to partition the HD, it goes through the motions of installing Windoes 7 but at a certain point after 2 reboots and just before it would say Windows is setting up your computer for first use the screen goes black and nothing happens. The iMac is still turned on because if I hold the power button down I hear it shut off. When I turn it back on I can see that Windows was not fully installed.I tried to see what it says running in safe mode, and then I can see that it wants to continue setting Windows up but I get a message that Windows cannot be installed in Safe Mode, and I should reboot but then I get the black screen again. I've tried to repair the installation but to no avail. I've done this using both 32 bit and 64 bit with full disc of Windows 7 Professional but neither work.
    Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong and what I can do to rectify this problem? Thanks in advance for any help.

    I hope you don't mind me asking this question for Jack the Newbie.
    You say i have to use a Windows XP-Pro Install-CD that includes SP2 as well as the JMicron driver for the JMicron IDE-Port which i have my Optical Drive connected to.I know this is telling me how to fix my problem, but what i would also like to know is WHY do i have to install it with SP2 & the JMicron driver like this on my P965 when it installed on my old pc with just the XP-Pro Install-CD.
    Your Windows Installation CD should be as up to date as possible, especially for newer hardware.  SP1 is from 2002, SP2 was released in 2004. Neither SP1 nor SP2 install CDs provide the proper drivers for the JMicron chipset used on your mainboard.  I cannot give a detailed list about the differences between SP1 and SP2. I just know, that there are a lot of problems when people do not use SP2 on Intel 975/965 Chipset-boards which where released in 2006. 
    When you say that your installation works fine on your old PC I believe you.  It worked on my old Laptop too.  However I was not able to install XP Pro on my 975X-board without SP2 at all until I upgraded my Installation CD.

    Garfield,
    I had exactly the same problem--because I had my optical drive hooked up to a Promise IDE controller, rather than to a mobo IDE connection.  Turns out the Promise will read and write the optical drives OK, just won't boot from them properly.  And, somehow, that affects Windows Setup.
    I don't know anything about the JMicron and the need for SP2.  But, as you can see from my sig, I'm using XP Pro SP1, and once I moved my NEC 3500 back to the mobo IDE (as secondary behind my IDE hard disk) everything worked like a champ.
    Just my $.02.
    Stahlwird
    To relate Garfields problem with your solution is a mistake.  Your board does not use any JMicron hardware, has NVidia chipset instead of Intel and an AMD CPU.  Your are talking about a totally different Setup here.
