Bootcamp:Windows 7 ` = \ problem

So, the problem I am having is that is many programs when I press the key that has a "`" on it i get the proper char "`" but others I get "\" I have my language settings set to "English(United States) - United States-International(Apple)" in almost any other setting I will only get "\" regardless of what program or context I am in.
Ex... if I press "`" into the address bar in windows file explorer I get a "\" and if i try renaming a file and press "`" i get the proper `. In this textbox it is the first case, I cannot properly type a `.
Any input would be appreciated.

rebooting seemed to have fixed the issue for almost all programs and contexts, but it still doesnt work in skyrim.

Bootcamp Windows 7 Install Problem

Hi,
I am having problems Installing Windows 7 via Bootcamp on My Macbook Pro 13" Early 2011 (running Mavericks) and was wondering if anyone could help/offer advice.
I took out the optical drive and put in an SSD a while ago, and now I want to install Windows 7 on the SSD. So firstly I tried installing it using a Windows 7 disc and an external optical drive but apparently you can't install it using that method (when you try to install it comes up with a blank screen and blinking cursor). Next I made a bootable USB using an ISO image, and tried to install via the BCA. But when I restart and try to install, it comes up with a black screen saying there is no bootable drive present; I have even tried holding down alt on start up to see what options I have for booting but all I have is the recovery drive and my SSD.
One thing I have read is that I can buy an external SuperDrive, amend the coding in the terminal (or somewhere) which will make the drive compatible with my mac, and then install Windows 7 via Disc through BCA that way. Does any one know if this will work before I purchase one?
Does anyone know of any other methods?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

On Macs with built-in Optical drives, there is no supported method of installing Windows, if the Optical drive has been removed. There are possible solutions, but there are convoluted.
Here is an example - http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?p=20584499#post20584499
You can put back your Optical drive temporarily, and install Windows.

Bootcamp Driver Problems in Windows 8

I use a MBP 13" 2010 model, and I've used it for a long time, but it's never had any problems with Bootcamp until now.
Last month I bought a copy of Windows 8 Pro x64 (disc) and I wanted to install it on my recently clean-installed Mac. I installed it with no problems using Bootcamp. Booting into Windows 8, I found that the Bootcamp Drivers weren't compatible with Windows 8, but I looked up a guide that told me just to install the drivers one by one. I did that and rebooted.
The drivers still didn't work for some reason. The brightness controls weren't adjustable, the keyboard shortcuts didn't work, the trackpad failed as well, and numerous other problems plagued me in Windows mode. I re-installed the drivers and rebooted, but it still didn't work. I even installed the Nvidia display driver seperately, but no go. Is this Bootcamp's problem? Most likely the driver's out of date.
So I'm stuck using my office computer now, until I can find a way to fix this. Any help would be appreciated.

defan752,
I recently put Windows 8 (64bit) on my 15" 2009 MBP. I performed a clean install utilizing Boot Camp. I followed instructions found online. Prior to installing Win8, I had WinXP installed on a partition, which worked perfectly.
For my Win8 installation I upgraded my MBP's OS from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion. Mountain Lion comes with a newer version of Boot Camp (version 4.0 - I believe). The newer version has a slightly different process for driver installation. It has you create a driver installation disc within the Boot Camp Asstant software running on my Mac BEFORE creating the partition and installation. First it will connect to the interenet and download the latest support files for the drivers for your machine, then it will ask you to insert a blank disc, upon which it will write Windows friendly installation file (the disc contained an executable file [.exe] which is to be run on the newly installed windows parition). While Boot Camp (4.0 or whatever it is that came with Mountain Lion) doesn't have official support for Windows 8, utilizing the Windows 7 installation method will create a Driver CD that works in Win8. After creation of driver disc, follow the normal installation instructions (create partition, install win8). Once Win8 finishes installing, go to the desk top (Windows Button + D), pop in the driver disc and the Executable file. After the file runs the drivers will be installed but will require a reboot in order to be utilized. Reboot your machine and you should be good to go.
NOTE: hold on to that driver disc, I have already had to use it to repair some of my drivers that got messed (my own fault, not mac's or MS) and reran the executable file which fixed everything again.
NOTE: You will be able to utilize much of the drivers in the Win8 environment, however there are limitations. While the trackpad supports multitouch, it is limited (two finger right click, two finger scrolling). The nifty new multitouch gestures in Win8, are not yet supported. I suspect they will be with future updates to these drivers. But we won't get that until Boot Camp can fully support Win8. Also I noticed that my speakers don't switch to headphones when I plug them in, nor does it recognize the toslink connection. I'm still looking for answers to those problems.
For more details regarding the driver support in Windows 8 running on a Mac i found this website useful:

Mcbook Pro (2009) freezing all the time. Bootcamp windows works perfectly...

Hi,
I'm very confused.
I've had my macbook pro for 2 years now, with bootcamp Windows installed for almost that long without a problem.
As of today my macbook keeps locking up everytime I click on an application or click my mouse on something. It freezes with any action and stays busy for about a minute before doing all my commands.
The problem is, my Windows 7 works perfectly fine! Which means, unlike the other people posting here about their freezing macs, it's NOT a hardware issue!
I installed Lion about 2 weeks ago. I'm not sure what's going on. I don't really know what to do. I'll do some cleanups and everything, and post a little later.

Do you have FileVault enabled or a Mac with a "Fusion" drive?
It appears to be trying to boot into Safe Mode, but fails. I've seen Safe mode fail for the above reasons.
Can you boot into Recovery? OS X: About OS X Recovery
if so, try repairing the disk. http://osxdaily.com/2012/02/08/repair-boot-disk-mac-os-x-disk-utilit/

Bootcamp windows 7 listen to line in soundcard driver not installing

Hi there and thanks for reading.
Bottom line Bootcamped Windows 7
I just want to be able to HEAR my line in input in REALTIME not a 1-2sec delay like the "listen to device" thing in windows has by default.
I've tried to install realtek drivers however I get an error message.
I've attempted to install other drivers and those fail as well.
It's upsetting because litereally everything else works (minus the aircard for some reason but I dont mind using a cable) and the internal speakers.
If anyone has had the same problem and found a fix. please please do share.

I got to the same point as viggo. bootmgr was missing after restoring the partition with winclone.
i fixed the bootrecord of the cloned partition like this:
1) create a windows system repair disk. you can do this in your virtual machine. since you cannot boot from cd. you need to create the repair disk directly into an iso file. windows only lets you choose an existing cdrw drives, so you need to simulate a cd burner. use TotalMounter for this. its free and does exactly what you need.
the following steps have been done with parallels. don't know if this works with vm fusion
2) Create a new parallels vm and use the cloned, broken bootcamp partition as its main drive (if you start it right now, you get the same "bootmgr is missing" message)
3) mount the previously created system repair disc as a cd rom
4) boot from the cd room
5) run systemrepair to fix the bootrecord
6) windows is now booting in parallels and it hopefully does so directly from disk :-)

ExpressCard/34 not working in BootCamp Windows 7 64-bit. Apple's BIOS emulation does not give enough resources.

MacBook Pro unibody, 15" 2009
ExpressCard/34 (Card is by Transcend TS-RDF1, JMicron chip for SD card) is not working in BootCamp Windows 7 64-bit. Windows reports:
"This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. (Code 12)
If you want to use this device, you will need to disable one of the other devices on this system."
Other data points: Card works fine in Mac OSX, worked under Windows XP 32-bit (initially reported same problem, but works after reboot).
Checking the forums there seems to be no actual device suggested to actually remove that would help the problem. And even if it was, the concept is ridiculous. What other device would you like to remove? Display adapter? Network adapter? No way. I use all available devices and don't want to compromise.
It seems like BIOS emulation does not allocate enough resources to ExpressCard.
Are others having the same problem?
Does anyone have a fix for this?
Is there anyone at Apple who cares to provide a solution?

It is not a driver problem, but a problem in the BIOS emulated by bootcamp on some (not all) MBP models. So unless Apple fixes it in bootcamp, there is no real solution. And obviously, Apple doesn't care. They are dropping the Expresscard slot anyway.
Unfortunately, this poster seems right: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=912259 :
The 2008/2009 Macbook Pros don't allow to use the ExpressCard slot because of EFI/Bootcamp errors (Windows Vista/7 cannot allocate an IRQ to the slot). You don't need any drivers for using an ExpressCard slot on Windows, you only need the drivers for the corresponding card you are using.
Bootcamped XP allowed to use the slot, but you could not use hot-plugging.
And from the Sonnet site ( http://www.sonnettech.com/product/tempo_sata_express34.html ) :
Tempo SATA ExpressCard/34 not supported under Windows 7 or Windows Vista when running on unibody MacBook Pro computers. The problem is caused by the MacBook Pro's BIOS emulation, which doesn't allocate enough resources to support certain kinds of Expresscard/34 devices, such as a SATA controller, in these operating systems.

Bootcamp WIndows 7 x64 and Syncmaster 204b external monitor

Hi,
I didn't see a sub-forum for external monitors so I hope the Firmware forum is ok since this seems like a drivers/graphics card issue issue.
The issue I'm having is that Mac OS crashes randomly when I connect my external Samsung Syncmaster 204b monitor to my Macbook Pro when running Windows 7 x64 under Bootcamp. The external monitor turns yellow and the Macbook LCD turns gray and I'm forced to do a hard-reboot. Windows does detect the monitor and I can see it with it's correct name under Windows Display Properties.
Everything works fine when I run the monitor under Mac OS 10.6.4.
I'm running Windows 7 x64 on a mid-2010 Macbook Pro 13". I have all of the latest updates installed for Windows and am using Bootcamp 3.1.
Has anyone encountered a similar issue or have any ideas how this may be resolved?
Thanks, -Scott
Message was edited by: Scott Cullen

Ok, I think this problem has been resolved, so I'll post the solution in case others with the Samsung Syncmaster 204B have the same problem. The answer was erasing the PRAM by holding Option-Command-P-R at boot up (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379).
This is what I think happened:
An update in Windows Update is available for the Syncmaster 204B, but wasn't visible when I first connected the Syncmaster. I wasn't able to see the update until I rebooted with the Syncmaster connected (after several crashes). After seeing the update in Windows Update under 'Optional Updates", called "Samsung - Display- 204T/204Ts/204B, Syncmaster Magic CX20Ts(digital)", I installed it, but bootcamp Windows continued to crash randomly after attaching the Syncmaster via both Mini Display Port-to-DVI and Mini Display Port-to-VGA. Sometimes it crashed after a few minutes, sometimes an hour, the same as before I installed the update.
I was convinced that it was a compatibility problem between Windows 7 x64, the Syncmaster 204B and the MacBook Pro 13" Mid-2010 hardware since this problem only happened when booting into bootcamp Windows 7 x64 (everything worked fine in Mac OS), but now that doesn't seem to be the case. I think the update fixed the problem, but after installing the update some of the of the original incompatible display settings remained resident in the Mac's PRAM. Erasing the PRAM cleared these settings and allowed the new updated settings to be loaded instead, fixing the crash issue.

Bootcamp - Windows 8.1 - Mac Pro (Late 2013) -- ATI Driver Crash

Hi All,
I have a open case with Apple as well on this but i can not seem to locate any information on this issue on the web at all.
Case: 601052633
Basically, we received a new Late 2013 Mac Pro, and out of the box proceeded to install bootcamp and windows 8.1.
After the install and the bootcamp drivers are installed the screen starts to display lines and the ATi drivers eventually crash.
If we uninstall the ATI drivers the screen is returned to normal and windows uses the generic drivers, however the graphics performance is degraded.
If we install the latest ATI drivers (downloaded directly from the ATI webpage) the display issues reoccur.
If left to run its path the screen becomes unreadble and eventually the system bluescreens.
To recap all the things I have done:
Straight out of the box we started the boot camp install. We use the latest Windows 8.1 Media.
Once the process is completed the PC reboots as normal and we install windows on the “BOOTCAMP” partition.
Windows installs without issue and when the bootcamp drivers window pop’s up it starts its install. At the “Chipset” drivers install the window starts to flicker, this appears to be normal but afterwards the screen shows “lines” on it. (these lines can be seen on image below)
Once windows is booted the lines remain and progressively gets worse. Image below shows the ATI Criver crash and the blue screen. This takes 2-5 seconds. And depends on how much you move on the screen.
Screen capture (shown Below) shows the issues, even with screen capture the issue is recorded.
If we uninstall the ATI display drivers the issue disappears.
Process of tests:
Install Bootcamp windows 8.1 on Mac pro 2013 out of the box – Issue recorded
Remove Bootcamp and update firmware on Mac.
Install Bootcamp windows 8.1 on Mac Pro 2013 – Same issue.
Updated ATI Drivers using ATI drivers off ATI website – Same issue
Uninstalled ATI Drivers – 2 Generic Microsoft video cards detected – issue removed but video performance degraded.
Updated Bootcamp Drivers – ATI drivers reinstalled – Issue returned
Removed bootcamp, restored system to factory settings via web install.
Installed Bootcamp windows 8 on Mac Pro 2013 – Same issues
Removed bootcamp restored System to default
Tried installing windows 7 – not supported
Installed Windows 8.1 and ran screen captures and diagnostics.
We have also tried using different display ports, Different display adaptors, Different monitors.
Mac OS is not affected.
Note Mac is “out of the box”, Windows is a next next next install. No changes or software is installed.
Any support would be appreciated.
Cheers
Steffen.

I had this exact same issue and had been hunting it down since i first received my Mac Pro back in May 2014. I researched the problem all over the place but I have no idea why i did not find this post, or in fact why Apple techs did not find this post either.
Bottom line: In my case I have pretty much proved this was a problem with the AMD FirePro D300 video card/s. They basically can't cope with Windows graphics needs.
I have a new Mac with D500 cards, and now the problem is almost completely gone. I can recreate if i run certain situations and a screen saver. Upon refresh, there is a chance the card will crash, but showing a slightly different outcome.
Having read the prior posts, the D700 may also have the same issue??
Longer story and background: I am not exactly an expert, but i did try many different things and probably spent in excess of 200 hours onto tech support and installing, reinstalling, trying different monitors, trying different software. Eventually i was so frustrated and in tears with this issue.
The major problem over all this time was the constant response from Apple that this was not an Apple issue since the Mac OS was not showing any issues.
I was at the time a new Mac convert, my brother had purchased the 'awesome' machine for me as a birthday gift, with the goal that we could play a specific game together. My disappointment in Apples inability to recognize or even attempt to recognize that this was related to the hardware in the Mac itself was constant and ongoing.
My final visit to the Apple store to again visit the 'Genius' bar came up yet again with the most senior tech in the store telling me that there were no problems identified with the hardware and that this was not their issue. Totally frustrating. I was rather hoping, in the good tradition of true geeks, that this would have been a challenge to hunt down. I was pretty sure they trusted me that this was not a standard Windows issue, and thus was hoping they would switch out individual pieces of components (video cards being my first choice) to see if that the problem repeated. Nope, didn't want to do it.
My response was to threaten with legal action - not something i enjoyed doing, plus that i would NEVER buy an Apple product again. Since I was a new business client, this may have had an impact.
This wonderful Manager at the store agreed that he wanted to take the hardware out of the equation and see if I still had the issue. So he, amazingly, agreed to refund in full for the machine and I could order a new one.
As i was convinced this was hardware related, since I had the Quad core, D300's, 12 gig machine and my brother had the top of the range six processor, D500s, 16gig memory machine which did NOT have this issue, running identical software, when i reordered the Mac Pro, I bumped it up to the D500s (still Quad core) and 16gig of memory (also had the 1TB drive partitioned 40/60 in bootcamps favor).
I tentatively installed windows after a couple of days of normal Apple usage (software updates included).
I then hammered the system with the same software and installs.
Its been up and running for perhaps 2-3 weeks now, and I have not seen the issue at all, other then when i had screen saver running and 4 instances of the game running (Everquest for those of you who are interested - but the software is almost irrelevant, since i have had this issue using internet explorer or Chrome).
So.. I urge Apple to review this issue with the D300s and either remove them from the configuration options or resolve the issue. One of the powerful selling things for this wonderful machine is its ability to run Windows in native mode. I like it because I also want to get into App Development, so the dual option boot option is just what i wanted.
Responding to us poor Windows installers with 'not my problem' simply isn't good enough and should never have been something i had heard.
All good now, I am happy with the end result, but I would like Apple to recognize this IS AN ISSUE THEY NEED TO ADDRESS.
I apologize if my technical knowledge is not a strong as it might need to be in relaying this information to you guys, but hopefully it all makes sense.

Disk utility resize mac partition resulted in 'no bootable disk' while starting from bootcamp windows partition

my macbook air had two partitions for Mac OS and Windows XP. Because XP partition is too small, I used disk utitility in Mac OS to shrink the Mac partition, and make a new FAT32 partition, which I expected to use it in windows. Till now, I can find three partitions in disk utitily, MacOS/FAT32(which is totally free)/Bootcamp(windows). And in system preference->boot disk, I can see both Mac OS X and Bootcamp Windows.
But when I reboot the computer and press "option" key while rebooting, I only see two boot device options, "mac os" and "recovery", no Bootcamp Windows.
Anybody can give me a hand to recover my previous windows and use the freed partition in windows? Thanks.

Hi Stefan!
I have a rather similar problem having a BootCamp Windows 8 Partition. I actually have 2 NTFS partitions for windows and 1 for Mac OS. The situation is:
0 - for Mac OS
1 - BootCamp windows (NTFS - boot) - 60GB
2 - Windows (NTFS) - 100GB
After updating to Maverick I have no idea why, but now I have:
in Mac OS:
0 - Mac OS
1 - BootCamp - 160G
In Windows:
0 - Mac OS
1 - BootCamp - 60GB
I have tried recovering the partition with a windows program, but all it could do is find it, but without any files on it.
How can I restore my partition table to the way it was?!
WHY did Mac OS mess up my windows partition table?
WHY didn't I get a warning that the Boot Table will get altered?!
Thank you for any help

Bootcamp, Windows 7: EN option not showing up in input method selector

Hi,
I added a Japanese and a German input method on my Bootcamp Windows 7 install.
For some reason only JP (Japanese) and DE (German) are shown as options in the input method selector - but no EN, which should be the default...
In the settings the EN entry is shown however:
EN English (United States)
    +-+ Keyboard
        + United States (Apple)
JP Japanese
    +-+ Keyboard
        + Microsoft IME
German (Germany)
    +-+ Keyboard
        + German (Apple)
When starting up, the German keyboard is activated and there is no way to switch back to the English one.
When adding another English keyboard, US for example, an EN option is shown - but it selects the normal US keyboard and not the "United States (Apple)" one...
Any idea how to solve the problem?
Thanks, Dietrich

Bootcamp Windows Installer won't boot properly on rBMP late 2013

I have been redirected to this community. I will repost the same question I asked in the mackbook pro community. I am new to Apple Support Communities, I hope this is okay for me to ask the question here again.
Here is my post in the other community: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5922375?tstart=0
I just bought my MBP Retina 13" Late 2013 last week. It came with Mavericks 10.9, and I have since updated it to 10.9.1.
I have installed Windows 7 64bit using Bootcamp, and ran into a situation, which I hope the experts here could give me a hand.
I used the first two options in Boot Camp Assistant (BCA) and sucessfully created a Bootcamp Windows Installer for Windows 7 64bit on a USB Thumb Drive (USB 3.0). Then I launched Boot Camp Assistant again, and selected the last option to install Windows 7 64 bit on the bootcamp partition, the installation went through successfully. Both Windows 7 and the bootcamp drivers are installed, and I am able to dual boot OS X and Windows properly.
However, if I try to launch Bootcamp Windows 7 USB Installer created using BCA as described in the above by holding down <option> key while rebooting, and select the USB device lableled as 'Windows', Windows 7 Installer starts (in BIOS boot mode, I believe) and then it freezes after it gets to the language selection screen, the mackbook no longer responds to either the trackpad or the keyboard.
In other words, this Windows 7 USB Installer boots properly when launched by BCA's third option. However, this USB Installer does not boot properly when launched by selecting 'Windows' after holding down <option> key while rebooting. What am I doing wrong here?
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Joe

I did create a Recovery Disk from inside Windows 7 this weekend following your suggestion. Unfortunately, this has the same problem as the installer.
However, USB Installer I created for Windows 8.1 could boot properly both in BIOS boot mode or EFI boot mode. This Windows 8.1 USB Installer is created using the standard procedure for the BCA; the only difference from the Windows 7 USB Installer is that I used Windows 8.1 ISO instead of Windows 7 ISO.
With this Windows 8.1 USB Installer, I am able to access the BOOTCAMP partition and perform necessary operations to fix startup issues, and perform backup and restore using the native Windows tools for the BOOTCAMP partition. And no need to spend $30 on WinClone
Thanks for your help!

No sound in Bootcamp Windows 8.1

Hi.
I recently installed Windows 8.1 on my Macbook Pro, late 2011 model and ran the Bootcamp software. Everything works great except there is no audio playing at all, I have an X mark on the volume control, troubleshooting results in a 'A recent hardware might have not been detected' I have no Sound, video and gaming controllers' in the Device Manager, there is 'High Definition Audio Controller' in the Device Settings, though has a warning sign on it, I checked it and tried to update the driver but it says that it's the latest one installed. I had tried to re-run the Bootcamp drivers software and downloaded the Realtek audio drivers from the internet, but it still not working, though a Realtek High Definition Audio driver is now detected in the Device Manager, but not working, it has an warning sign too, When I try to run the troubleshooter it says that Realtek High Definition Audio has a driver problem.
Please help me, this is so frustrating.

I was thinking about upgrading my entry level MBP 13" late 2011 to the top of the line rMBP 15 late 2013 for gaming, I thought I could install Windows and run any game just fine without losing the OS X experience. I had no issues before with Bootcamp with Windows 8 x64 back when I had Lion. Now I'll just buy a Razer Blade and ditch Apple.
Sadly, once I installed 8.1 x64 on my current MBP with Mavericks, I've had every single possible issue with a laptop that according to Apple supports Windows 8.1, first I couldn't create an install usb drive without first burning the .iso file to a DVD, which was possible before Mavericks. I don't have a DVD with Windows 8.1, since I received the OS through dreamspark, so I come to think, what if I buy the rMBP that lacks a DVD drive? I found a way to get the option to create the install drive from a .iso file, attempted to install, then had an issue with the partition created by Bootcamp, Windows wouldn't let me install in that partition, nor I could erease it then use it with the tools of the install setup. So I went to disk utility, deleted the partition, and left that as free space, booted back to the setup, and finally installed Windows by creating an NTFS partition at the free space. After I installed Windows, and installed the drivers provided by Apple, I had no sound, the driver was not working, and spent 3 days actively looking for a solution online, tried a lot, none work. Finally uninstalled Windows 8.1, I'm using VM Ware now, but gaming is not the same on a virtual machine.
I thought Bootcamp had real support, this is not the case. Razer Blade, here I come!

Lost bootcamp windows disk partition after mountain lion installation

Greetings all!
So I've had Bootcamp (windows 7 and snow leopard, 125gb of hard drive storage on each) on this MacBook Pro (late 2010) for over 2 years and I decided to upgrade to mountain lion.
As we all know that we can partition the disk under windows into smaller volumes, often labeled as C:, D:, E:, etc. my friend divided the hard drive storage for Windows into C: and G: when I first had windows 7 on my MacBook Pro 2 years ago.
The problem emerged after I installed mountain lion couple days ago. I'm still able to choose the system I want it to run after i press and hold "option" key and it will log on windows without any problem. My windows desktop looks the same as what it was before installing. HOWEVER, my partition G: totally disappeared! Partition C: remains the same. I'm pretty sure that G: is still somewhere in the hard drive because the system tells me that out of 125GB of storage for windows, 50GB is used, which is the size of C:, and available is only 10GB! So the difference of about 60GB must have been taken by the lost partition G:. I tried searching specific files that I have in G: under windows but it returned me no results. So I'm thinking it might be virtual somewhere. The files in G: are very important to me, so I'm looking for help/suggestions here to restore that partition by all means.
Thank you very much for taking the time reading my post and I'm really looking forward to your reply!

Ok, I just found a way out this nightmare. The problem is that for a unknown reason, the password has to be entered as if it had been originally entered on a US keyboard layout (QWERTY)... So I had to find which keys I would have stroke if I had entered my password on a US keyboard thinking it was a FR one (AZERTY).

Bootcamp Windows 7 bluetooth mouse not working

From my macbook air with bootcamp windows 7 my bluetooth mouse is not working. It was working before and it still works fine under mac os but I don't know why it's not working anymore under Windows 7. I also tried to find bluetooth from control panel or device manager but bluetooth is not showing. Anyone can help me to solve this problem? Thanks.

getting blue tooth device to work after install
iMac 21.5 inch OS X Lion (10.8.4), Bootcamp 5 install of Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.
At the end of my install, I noticed that Bootcamp was not available from Windows (e.g., no hidden taskbar
icon). Other issues with missing USB drivers. Magic mouse worked ok, except the trackpad-like swiping
features were absent. Ran setup in the BootCamp folder of the thumb drive (not the setup in the thumb
drive's root directory), which indicated it was a continuing install (guess somehow the first one stopped
prematurely), installed all the special Apple etc. drivers for the Bootcamp interface with Windows.
After restart, all the troubleshooter warnings for USB devices had cleared, but Magic mouse was not
communicating with system.
Attached a standard Microsoft optical USB mouse.
Then, in Windows control panel > devices and printers:
right clicked the magic mouse's icon (was labeled apple-username's mouse)
selected Services tab
(Bluetooth Services refreshes, then shows checkbox for Drivers for keyboard, mice, etc (HID))
check the checkbox
Windows installs the driver and the magic mouse works with all its features in Windows.
incidentally, noticed that had lots of internet cutouts with both wi-fi and lan connected. maybe an issue
with my ISP, don't know, although issue only apparent in Windows, not Mac OS X.

If you're gonna do it via Bootcamp, dedicating the entire hardware to Windows while running the game and already have the Mac, don't see a problem.
If you're deciding whether to buy that Mac or not for this purpose, might want to get the 2.6GHz model instead. Twice the RAM, twice the VRAM and more disk space to set aside for the dedicated Bootcamp partition.

Bootcamp:Windows 7 ` = \ problem
