Bootcamp: Windows 7 x64 won't see my graphics card

Hello everyone.
A few months ago I bought a brand new iMac 21,5 2013, been loving it.
I used Bootcamp to partition my HDD yesterday, and installed Windows 7 x 64 on a small 250 GB partition.
A bit sloppy, but works fine. The problem is, I could play Games like Skyrim on ultra without any lag on Os X,
but Windows doesn't pick up the graphics card (Intel Iris Pro 5200), it keeps saying I have a standard VGA adapter.
I tried downloading the latest drivers from Intel, but I get an error message saying that the computer does not meet
the minimum requirements to install the software. I installed Windows so I could play Cabal Online, and this is really bugging me out.
I've already installed the bootcamp support drivers, but it's still not working and still "don't have" a graphics card.
Please, someone help me, I'm really starting to get annoyed from all this.

with bootcamp you want to get the latests drivers from apple not intel
the osx bootcamp app should have given you the oppotunity to make a driver pack but you can also download the zip file from apple directly
http://support.apple.com/downloads/#macoscomponents
not just with your video driver but likely if you have problems with other stuff you need those drivers too
if the root setup.exe don't work for you then you need to navigate to the sub dirs to get the drivers you wish manually
if a iris pro 5200 can play skyrim very well I can't say
seem youtube is full of videos showing what performance one can expect of these various low range video cards setups

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

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 7 x64 Ethernet controller error...

I've installed the Windows 7 x64 drivers, yes I'm aware of how to get around the x64 error. However after installing My internet doesn't work.
Theres a few drivers with error code 28, saying they aren't installed next to them; ethernet controller, network controller. I've ran the repair utility, and it still doesn't install the files.
Any suggestions?

Just got a used iphone 3gs and it won't see my sim card what can I do?

Just got a used iphone 3gs and it won't see my sim card what can I do

Seems your story has changed... not seeing is not the same as not supported.
If the phone is carrier locked, you need a SIM from the carrier it's locked to to activate it. The sim does not have to be active, it just has to be one from that carrier.

How do I get Windows 8 to function with my Iris Graphics card?

Hello!
I have a late 2013 Macbook Pro retina with 8 GB of RAM and Iris graphics card.
I am having a problem in WIndows 8 64 bit (I'm using bootcamp 5). It seems as the Windows 8 doesn't work properly with the Iris graphics card. Under display adapter information it shows only 32 MB of dedicated video memory. And I only want windows on my mac because of occasional video games. No games run with 32 MB of video memory. And it seems that windows drivers are correct because it recognises the Iris 5100 graphics card...
I tried reinstalling bootcamp drivers and went to Intel's website for newer versions of Iris drivers but nothing helped. Is there a way to allocate more memory to the graphics card or some other solution?
I would really appreciate help on this.
I attached a screenshot of the display adapter information panel in windows 8.

Dedicated is how much physical memory it have software cant change that its the same deal in osx

Photoshop CC 64 bit sometimes won't recognize Nvidia graphics card

Sometimes when I open Photoshop CC 64 bit on windows 8.1 I get these warnings. I then have to restart my laptop for Photoshop to recognize my graphics card. Sometimes when I launch photoshop it is fine and there is no issue at all. It seems like every other time I launch Photoshop I get these warnings. I noticed that when installing programs from Adobe CC there are 2 versions installed. I tried opening the version that is not 64 bit and I did not get these warnings.

I noticed from another thread, that nVidia released a new Windows driver earlier this month. About the 3rd of March if memory serves. I don't know what card you are using, but I think some of those drivers cover a range of cards for the OS the driver is intended for.

Lighting effects filter not available on PScc - using windows 8.1 with GeForce GTX 680 graphics card

I have Photoshop cc and Lightroom 5.5. My computer runs windows 8.1, 64 bit, with GeForce GTX 680 graphics card.
I am trying to use the lighting effects filter, but it is grayed out so I cannot select it.
Can you tell me what I need to change in order to use the lighting effects filter?

This is the Lightroom forum. I don't use the lighting effects very often in Photoshop. But if I recall correctly, it will only work on 8-bit images.

Why can I not see Nvidia graphics card when i click "more info" on my 15 inch macbook pro?

I've just purchased a mid 2012 macbook pro
its supposed to have an Nvidia graphics card, but when i click "about this mac" --> "more info" i only see Intel HD 4000 graphics card. Is this ok? Does this mean that somebody opened my macbook and stole the card :- /

Nope - it's likely just the card in use at the time when you do the More Info...
...to check to see if the card is 'there' hold down the option key and select System Information from the Apple menu. Go under Hardware>Graphics & Displays and two cards should be listed.
Good luck,

Bootcamp windows 7 usb won't work

I have a Macbook Pro 9,1 (mid 2012) non-retina 15". I have recently installed Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 64-bit. The bootcamp version that I used was 5.1.5621.
Everything seems to be running properly, my keyboard (including apple buttons), trackpad, etc. The problem is my USB ports. Nothing I connect to them functions at all. My mouse, external HD, and USB flash drive are not recognized by Windows at all. Only the external HD seem to even get power. My mouse functioned fine during the Windows install and is lit up until about halfway through the "Setting up Windows" boot screen. After that the power is cut to it and will no longer function.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled bootcamp twice now, but nothing changes. I have to use a Microsoft uninstall fixer because when I try to uninstall bootcamp from the uninstall screen, I only get "change" and "repair" as options. I tried to repair as well, but after it finishes and my computer reboots, nothing is different. I am unsure if there is an installation issue because I can't easily uninstall it or if bootcamp just naturally works that way.
Everything works perfectly on Mavericks.

Glad you got it solved, BTW there is a Boot Camp forum if you ever need it. You can find it at:

Mac Pro - Bootcamp Windows 7 x64 problem. No Drives were found. Please help

Hi,
I have recently purchase a Mac Pro and I was trying to install windows 7 with bootcamp which i successfully done it on my imac before but somehow after I partition my HDD in bootcamp, inside winodws 7 install page it saids "No drives were found. Click Load Driver to provide a mass storage driver for installtion"
I have read some previous post but I didn't really get it how people have solved. I have dismount the other 2 HDD but it doesn't seems to work.
Can someone please help. Is there a way that I can have my windows 7 into my other HDD instead of the Mac OS drives.

You read the PDF Guide? You have to use Advanced Options to format the FAT volume (BOOTCAMP) to NTFS.
And yes, pull other drives.
Personally, I use a separate hard drive for Windows 7 and just pull the others, boot from Windows DVD and install.
I assume your recent MacPro 5,1 is Mid 2010. If you want to use more than 4GB RAM you will want 64-bit, and if you have dual processor 8 or 12-cores, you'd need Windows 7 Pro.
As for where you are now, use Boot CAmp Assistant again to remove the partition on your Mac OS boot drive.
Backup Mac OS to another drive yet? I use SuperDuper or CCC.
You can format the intended drive in Disk Utility.
Use Partition tab, Options and change partition table from GUID to Master Boot Record and format the entire drive as FAT. Or use Boot CAmp Assistant to do so. You'll need to shutdown then, not restart, so you can pull your other drives.

Bootcamp - Windows installation disk won't read

I have a late-2011, 13 inch MacBook Pro and I am running OS X 10.9.3 with all the latest updates. I am trying to use Bootcamp to runs windows but the windows disk isn't be read by my laptop. I run Bootcamp, it downloads the latest support software but when I put the windows installation disk in; it starts to spin up, makes some noises like it is being read, then it ejects the disk. Anybody have this problem, or now a way around it?

I have about 8 different burners on my systems, and some will read DVD's better than others will. On my workstation, I have one LG and one Plextor. The LG does the best, and when it fails, the Plextor usually can read. When this happens, I just do a Copy from the drive that can read the disc, to the other drive, using Verbatim, or Taiyo Yuden blank media. If neither can read, I have six others to try. Sometimes, it's just the burner.
One little hint would be to make sure that your burner's firmware is updated to the very latest. That can improve the burner's ability to read from a slightly damaged disc.
Otherwise, contact Adobe. For many programs, they sell replacement media. Do not know if there are version limitations, but one call should give you what is available.
Good luck,

Bootcamp windows 7 x64 installation on macbook air 2012 installation screen problem

Below are some pics on what happens after osx restarts to boot into the USB - windows 7 installation.. tried 2 different USB drives and got the same result. any ideas? please help.

Well, I've seen lots of those threads as well and most failed to manage cooperation of Bitlocker and FileVault, have trouble to get a second partition for windows to use with bitlocker or truecrypt etc. But these issues don't apply to me anymore.
Next there are threads instructing how to get a USB stick to work with Bitlocker claiming to have GPT instead of MBR so EFI is gaining any access on them. Those cases seem to work with MacBooks running with Windows, only, thus passing the issues mentioned in paragraph before as well.
And there is my confusion originating from: I can remember some sites claiming to have trouble with EFI on a Mac using Lion, but all those sites are older than Lion's final release date. So I don't know if there is a similar issue today or if I'm actually missing some option ... rEFIt isn't working with Lion according to the refit site itself. Some sites claim EFI is behaving differently on whether there is a super drive or not as Lion isn't supporting USB booting as long as booting from DVD/CD is available ... what's true about those facts? Is my problem related to having a super drive? Are things getting better as soon as I'm replacing my superdrive by a second internal drive? Is it that strange or some sort of plausible behaviour?
According to GPT, Windows 7 is obviously failing to properly detect hybrid MBR/GPT setups on USB sticks while that's what MacOS' disk manager is doing on having GPT-based single partition stick with exFat format. Instead of using the second hybridized partition it's accessing the protected part, only. If I'm converting a disk to GPT in windows everything works fine, but then without hybridized MBR ...
Regarding the fans I'm with you ... as soon as processor load is exceeding 5% the fans get quite noisy ...

Itunes 9.1 update for Windows Vista (x64) won't run, why???

I have been running itunes for several years and have had no problems. I updated today to the latest version (9.1). The update seemed to go fine. However, when I try and run itunes the computer whirrs and flashes as if the software is starting but nothing happens. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling and the result is the same, it simply won't launch/run.
Looking at other discussions there are obviously lots of people with similar problems, but I can't find a solution that works, can anyone help??
I'm about to order an iphone (i have an ipod) but there's not much point if the software doesn't work. Help!

I had exactly the same problem and I spent 3 Hours 2 Min on the phone with Apple Support. Basically there is a conflict with Bonjour and you have to disable Bonjour first, then go into the control panel and uninstall all Apple Applications. iTunes, Quicktime, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Apple Application Support, and finally Bonjour in that order. (If you try to uninstall Bonjour before disabaling, you will pull your hair out because it will not uninstall until it's disabled.)
Then reinstall iTunes 9.1 and it will work. However Bonjour will not work, therefore if you have Apple Wireless Applications, Apple TV, such as I have, etc. they won't work.
iTunes works fine now and I've been able to synch my iPhone, with no problems. I sure hope they come out with a fix soon. I'm surprized they didn't post a fix as I mentioned, because while I was on the phone with them, they indicated I wasn't the only one with that problem, but I guess they are busy with the iPad rollout.

MP won't see Caldigit esata card

I installed a Caldigit Fasta-2e and it show under pci cards as pci1095,3132 mass storage controller but even after trying 3 driver versions including a SL version it still shows as no driver installed ? Anyone know what's going on ?
And if I want to remove all these loose drivers how do I go about this ?
TIA

OMGosh, I didn't realize Mr. Firmtek himself was addressing me. I feel rather special now. Since I never got a response from your Customer Service, maybe you can tell me why I bought the En2 and the 2-port Seritek card only to have it not work with my Velociraptors, in fact almost destroying them. Sorry, bud, not using your products again.
MsB, I'm of the mind that it will only work in 32 bit mode. But as we both know it won't even do that. If I remember right though, I thought I ran across something that said the Sonnet drivers might get it to work. I don't know what risks there are to doing that, I can't imagine they would be to great though, and they can always be uninstalled. I'm tired of putting junk in my Mac though, you'd have to try it to see.
I still can't get over buying an E2P advertised to work in the Mac Pro, then getting it and seeing the tiny label which said, "Not for 09 Mac Pros". Eesh.
My E4P has been flawless though. And HighPoint cards, while really expensive, are very interesting to me. I especially like the bootability.
Curious though, have you ever seen this? You'd have to take out your DVD drive and put it in an external to use both ports there, but it seems a very cool and inexpensive option. All native too so anything attached to them would be bootable to. Look for the asterisk.
