Bootcamp usb windows installation not working

Hello all,
Heres the issue, My iMac is running Yosemite and I'm installing bootcamp with bootcamp created usb installation of windows 7. the bootcamp partition is created and i see it in the partitions so thats fine. but i reboot from bootcamp to begin the install i get the non bootable device error. when I use the option key on boot the thumb drive does not show at all. i checked the thumb drive and all windows files are present but apparently the iMac does not see it as a bootable drive. I have never had this issue with bootcamp prior to Yosemite so I'm not sure if thats the problem. Any ideas?
Thanks

ok guys i had the same problem in my new macbook retina. The problem is not entirely the USB. The windows version u are trying to install is either pirated or cracked.
Try installing the original windows 7 or 8 90 day trial version from Microsoft website and then it flows flawlessly. No USB or any other problem.
After installing the trial version using USB 2.0 (bought 3 yrs agao) the installation completed successfully and all USB ports were working perfectly and no red light in the headphone jack!
just for the sake of checking your mac's hardware try the windows trial if it works means the USB is not the problem and your windows copy is not original.
I am 100% sure windows trial version will work with no errors.try and let us know
thanks

Windows installer not working

I just purchased my Toshiba about a week ago. Everything worked fine but now it won't install anything. I'm not receiving any error messages or anything, it just won't open at all. The problem started yesterday. I downloaded Google Chrome and tried running the file to install it but nothing happens. I've even right clicked and tried running as administrator but still nothing. Windows installer worked perfectly the day before yesterday, as it allowed me to install Silverlight and Adobe flashplayer, but as of yesterday nothing will install.
I also noticed this morning while trying to uninstall a program the same problem happened. The only difference was that about 10 minutes after I tried uninstalling I finally had the Windows Installer box pop up on my screen but then it took 30 minutes or so for the 11 MB program to be uninstalled.

I don't know if this has anything to do with it but my computer just made me update my BIOS from 6.5 to 6.6. After my computer restarted and booted back up I tried installing chrome again and windows installer started without a problem.
Maybe the problem was just that my computer wasn't up to date?

Windows Installer Not Working for Itunes 64

I just got a touch and it says I have to use Itunes 64 bit. So I go download 8.02 64 from the apple site but when I try to install it a popup comes up and say windows installer could not be accessed. So I can't install it. I have vista 64bit home prem and was wondering if anyone has a solution yet? I have tried a lot of google solutions but none seem to work. Thanks

Hi Darrien,
What is the name of the iTunes installer file?
You may have to download iTunes again using Internet Explorer.
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
+"Note: The installer for 64-bit Vista is named iTunes64Setup.exe instead of iTunesSetup.exe. If you download the iTunes installer from iTunes.com using Vista 64 and the file is iTunesSetup.exe, your browser is likely not correctly identifying the OS as being Vista 64. Try downloading iTunes again using a different browser, like Internet Explorer."+ from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1426

MSI installer not working MSI 5.0 Windows 7

Hello I am trying to get MSI installer to work and when I go to install anything that has the Windows Installer Package it opens Notepad in a scrambled message. I have tried numerous avenues to no avail (regedit,copy paste regedit, troubleshooters, sfc/scannow,
command prompt etc.) I tried to choose the file association of MSIexec in System32 and it just opens this
I have tried what is suggested in this forum
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/f699e632-54ba-443b-85df-269a7fd6cf1a/windows-installer-not-working?forum=w7itprogeneral and regedit says:
I have tried this http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2438651#reso1 and didn't work
I have tried changing C :\Windows\System32\msiexec.exe /V in regedit and that didn't work
I have searched event viewer and all that's in there is a warning and information of successful installs and uninstalls.
I have tried %windir%\system32\msi.dll version in Command prompt and it says that the system cannot execute the specified program
I am thinking it is just a matter of finding the correct file association that the windows installer can use to install that program but I am unable to find that!
I did a system restore but the only good restore was from earlier today and it still just opens notepad. before I did the restore I went into services and the computer couldn't find the file (windows installer) so I did a restore and now it at least sees
the file and I can start the service.
Can I please get some help fixing this? would uninstalling MSI and re-installing it work? I have been searching forum after forum and nothing has yet worked.
I did a clean install of windows a couple of weeks ago
Microsoft answers gives me thee worst answers a person could come up with.

Hi ingenuities,
Try importing these reg file under Safe mode.
If you really need this work, I am supposing the only way is to try importing them manually, if any value key is using by process, use process monitor to filter out these processes and shut them down.I monitored values under MSI.package seems like no
value was using by system.
I exported msi.package and patch to text, it is from a clean Windows 7 intallation。

USB Ports are not working in Windows 7

I am on a MacBook and I installed Windows 7 via Bootcamp. It is working amazingly. I love all the new features and the look.
But all my usb devices are not working. I have a external HD and a Zune and a printer plugged in and nothing shows up.
I have tried with my usb hub and without. Doesn't make a difference.
BUT, they do show up in the Hardware and Devices place. Like I can remove them but not explore them.
I have installed all the drivers for bootcamp and everything.
Please help.
Thanks in Advance.
Best Regards,
Luc

"I'm a new mac user and I've just purchased a Late 2009 Macbook White. I updated bootcamp and installed windows 7 on it, and upgraded the boot camp assistant on the Windows 7 to 3.1. but when ever i plug in a Flash drive into the upper slot it does not seems to recognize it and there is no safely remove icon on the task bar, but i am able to see it in my computer. but when i plug the same flash drive to the lower usb slot everything works fine, autorun, safely remove. can any one help me with this problem, is it a Hardware problem or Software problem."

Windows installer not booting up after resizing the partition

Hello.
I am trying to reinstalling Windows 8.1. pro on my macbook with Yosemite.
When I initially installed Windows, it went fine, but Windows corrupted my booting process.
So I tried to fix it with gdisk command to create hybrid mbr, but I was not able to fix the problem.
So I deleted the Boot Camp partition using Boot Camp Assistant.
then I created a new Boot Camp partition through Boot Camp Assistant.
However, Windows installer did not boot up automatically nor manually(pressing option whilst booting) anymore.
I have booted up Windows installer using the same usb on pc, so I know that the usb containing Windows installer does work..
I am not sure how to boot the Windows installer.
Do I have to do clean install the OS X??
thank you for your help and time in advance.
Rin

Is it possible to create the disk using BCA and a Windows ISO on the Mac, if your Mac supports it? If your Mac has a built-in Optical drive (or used to have one), you are going to run into issues.
Can you
1. Run Disk Utility Repair.
2. SMC Reset - Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) - Apple Support
3. PRAM Reset - OS X Yosemite: Reset your computer’s PRAM
You can also look at Bootcamp Windows 7 Install Problem.

Windows updates not working because it extract patches on Mac partition first., Windows updates not working because it extract patches on Mac partition first.

I have installed BootCamp 5.1 and Windows updates not working because it extract files on Mac partition before installation. Is there any workaround for same ?

To replicate this issue - Try to download .net framework 4.5 from microsoft website and than run that setup on windows partition.
Before installation. it will first extract all the binaries to a other drivers, since in my case other primary drive is E which is a Mac partition so it always give me an error while extractiing and therefore setup is not able to execute propely.
Let me try to get the screen shot of error and send it here.

Apple USB keyboard does not work with one internal usb port

Hi everyone,
hope someone can help me to solve my problem. I have a MPB13 retina late 2013 since something like 3 months. I have additional screen (dell), usb wired keyboard (apple) and BT magic mouse.
Since a few days, my usb keyboard does not work well. It only want to work properly when plugged to the rights side usb port internal port and not anymore on the left one. It also work on a usb external concentrator. Before, I had no problem, it worked perfectly. There was no problem such as cofee on it...
After searching the web on such problem, I tries a few things such as:
I tried the keyboard on another computer (windows): works fine
I tried usb stick and external DVD reading on the left internal usb ports: works fine
I switch the MPB off and turn it back on: the usb keyboard still does not work on the left usb port
I tried the SMC and PRAM reset : nothing
Any idea ??
Thanks

I'm facing the same problem, found any solutions ?

Coldfusion 64 bit windows installer stops working after recent microsoft update

Coldfusion 64 bit windows installation stops working after recent microsoft updates and how I worked around it.
My question is at the end.
Trying to deploy coldfusion 9 enterprise 64 bit trial version onto a Windows 2003 64 bit datacenter OS with all OS updates from MS (as of 4-7-2011).
Steps taken (remember, this is all 64 bit):
1. Installed the base OS which was slipstreamed with SP2.
2. Checked w/ microsoft and installed 63 OS updates.
3. Launch the CF9 trial exe.
4. As soon as the first screen finishes (the one that looks like it is extracting files) then the second screen pops up (the one that simply says CF Adobe Coldfusion 9) and the progress bar quickly moves 95% to the right and the install application quits. No error, no nothing. No log file either.
5. After a moment of incredulous silence (and retrying/rebooting, etc), I started to google it. I found nothing. However, I did find a post (thanks dspent!) that was helpful in that it told how he was able to get at a log file of sorts, by pre-extracting the coldfusion_9_WWE_win64.exe file and launching the adobe_cf.exe by hand. (Dspent's install snafu was different than mine, but his post was very valuable and got me started in the right direction.)
6. Got a copy of rarunzipper and extracted the coldfusion_9_WWE_win64.exe file.
7. From the windows directory created by step 6, I launched adobe_cf.exe.
8. Same thing (the install application quits. No error, no nothing. No log file either.).
9. I examine the hs_err_pidxxxx.log file (where the xxxx is a number).
10. I see inside that file an ominous message: "A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime" then "Problematic frame ntdll.dll" and then "The crash happened outside the Java Virtual Machine in native code".
11. OK, so now I am thinking ntdll.dll !! Native code !! It is like Java is telling me that for some reason it can't dance with the OS.
12. On a hunch, I decided to test a CF install again on a server with just the base install of W3K3 64 SP2 (ie: skipping step 2 above this time).
13. Bingo! That install works.
14. Therefore, one of the 63 patches I had downloaded from MS had triggered a problem with the CF installer.
15. Back on the first server (the one with the MS security patches installed and the one that CF won't install on). In the CF file adobe_cf.lax (one of the files extracted in step 6) there is a line that mentions where the install gets it's java. Find that file, and check java version installer is using. It is using 1.6.0_14-b08.
16. Off to the Java website, and there is a newer version of java (1.6.0_24-b07). Downloaded and installed it.
17. Modify a line in adobe_cf.lax :
   before
     lax.nl.current.vm=resource\\jre\\bin\\java.exe
   after
     lax.nl.current.vm=C:\\program files\\java\\jre6\\bin\\java.exe
(that assumes that you let step 16 install to the default location)
Save the file.
18. Run the install ... ** IT WORKS ** !
Obviously, the built in java provided with the CF installer is no longer compatible with some change introduced by some recent MS update on the W2K3 64b SP2 platform.
And now the interesting part. Although I forced the installer to used the new java, it did not incorporate it into the cf build (ie: in jvm.config, you still see c:/coldfusion9/runtime/jre AND the version of java.exe that is in that directory is the original version, not the newer version I forced the installer to use).
On the surface, CF seems to run OK, but I have not done any application testing yet.
And finally my
** QUESTION **
Would it be appropriate to simply point the java.home var to the new java directory? I see that the directory structures and files are not exactly the same (close though) so I certainly don't want to break things by doing this, but instinct tells me that if the installer broke using the older version, then something else is gonna break down the road if I don't use the new version. On the other hand, the differences in the directories and files is enough that it makes me very nervous, with my limitied java skill set, to make this decision.
Thanks in advance!!
Byron

Hi Byron,
Wow great post no doubt much of the information will be useful for those on Win03 SP2 +. Have to say not come across similar problem on Win08 r2 SP1 +.
So to your question. Adobe security bulletin (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/894/cpsid_89440.html) recommends running CF8 and CF9 with JVM 1.6.0_24. The bulletin does not say how to do that. I take you installed JDK and not just JRE 1.6.0_24? Post install of JDK follow these steps:
Stop CF - SERVICES.msc stop "ColdFusion 9 Application Server".
Take a copy of CF\runtime\bin\jvm.config - so you got a backup.
Edit CF\runtime\bin\jvm.config find line "java.home=" and comment it out eg:
#java.home=C:/ColdFusion9/runtime/jre
Add new line like so and save jvm.config:
java.home=C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.6.0_24/jre
Note there the slashes and the location of the JRE (runtime) - you need to point to the one in JDK because the other JRE in C:\Program Files\Java\jre6 will be missing a DLL.
Start CF via SERVICES.msc.

T420 USB Ports do not work after installing XP

Hello my office has been using Lenovo's for some time now but we recently purchased a T420 and installed Windows XP SP3 on it. The issue we are having is that the uSB ports do not work. I have tried every driver I can find but still no luck, can anyone help?

hey chris0277,
could you check in Device Manager and see if there is any ? or ! symbol on the USB area.
If there is, i do recommend uninstalling the drivers from it and then visit http://support.lenovo.com and update your unit

One of my usb ports in not working

On my compaq presario v5000, os xp media center, the bottom usb port is not working. When i plug a thumb drive in, it does not reconize it. The mouse lights up but does not work. It shows up in device manager and says it is working properly. The other port works fine. Just reinstalled windows and the computer is completely up to date with all the service packs etc. Have tried unpluging and restarting to no avail. Have tried updating but says it cannot find a better driver. Please Help. Thank you.

Could you please give me the exact model number of your notebook?

USB webcam microphone not working with Starcraft 2 voice chat

=USB webcam microphone not working with Starcraft 2 voice chat?Windows 7, X-fi Fatalty Pro
I have a webcam with ?a built in microphone (Ps3 eye). ?It is connected by USB. ?The drivers are the CL-Eye drivers; a third party driver set since Sony does not directly support the eye for PC.
in the windows audio device management, the microphone appears as normal and is set as the default device. ?I can use the windows sound recorder to record me speaking just fine. ?However if I use any other applications it doesn't seem to work at all. ?I can select the device as the default recording device in Starcraft 2 as well as Teamspeak 3 but no sound is detected. ?The USB microphone does not show up as a selectable device in recording options in my Creative Control Panel. ?Disabling the default creative microphone does nothing.
I think the problem is in that windows can directly detect the microphone and so software that uses the windows audio device manager works fine, but anything that talks directly with my sound card software does not properly detect the microphone. ?Basically, I can select the device as a default device but it does not work.
Any thoughts on this or am I SOL and have to find myself a shiny new headset?

I had the same problem. You need to check the device index of your USB mic.
In my case. I'm on a Mac OSX 10.6 system. I had four devices cataloged. With the last one being the USB mic.
Then set like so in your AS code audioPub.microphoneManager.micIndex = 3;
Remember, that the indexing is 0 based.
The sound framework make the assumption that the index is 0.
Hope that helps.

Airport Express USB printing suddenly not working

Hi, we have an airport express which doesn't seem to be working properly. We've had it at least 2 years now. All has been working fine but suddenly USB printing is not working on it. When I load up AirPort utility and go to the printers tab, it says "USB printers: None". It didn't use to say that! I've checked the printer - it works fine when printing direct from computer to printer over USB (hence both the printer and the USB lead are fine). We use the airport express for iTunes and it works fine. The airport is running version 6.3. We used to print (when it worked) from both Windows computers running XP and from macs running Snow Leopard...
Any thoughts?
Edward

Erm... help!
In a bid to try to sort out the problem myself, I decided to restore the Airport Express (b/g) to the factory default and see if that helped... I did this through the airport utility. The airport reset fine and I then went through the set-up wizard. However, when it then tried to restart as part of the setup process, it said that there was an error and that it could not restart. It said to restart the airport utility and try again. This I did but it cannot see the airport. If I rescan, it says the same thing (unable to find any apple wireless devices). What should I do?
All thoughts and suggestions gratefully received!
Edward
