Hello everyone. My MBP spec is 15" i7. I've installed a Windows 7 via Bootcamp. after that, i installed the drivers using my Apple Os X disk. But after all that, I can't use the volume slider to control the volume. why is that?

  • Using MS Access 2010 on Windows via Bootcamp

    Using MS Access 2010 on Windows via Bootcamp
    I am wanting to do an online course which uses MS Access 2010. I am using an Apple Mac and thought I could use Bootcamp to set up a Windows partition to use the software.
    My query is once I have created a database with MS Access 2010 in Windows on my mac, is the database essentially useless for my future mac work?
    Hope someone can help

    I do think converting will end up being complicating. Do you know what Office for Mac is like, is it similar to MS Access? If so, I could do the course using MS Access and then buy Office for Mac and teach myself how to create databases using office.
    As I mentioned there is no Access for Mac.  Microsoft never made one. Office for Mac includes Word, Excel, Powerpoint (and Outlook for the Business edition.)  And even these are missing some features of their Windows versions.  (e.g.: Excel macros often don't work on the Mac version of Excel.)
    You can bring over your general knowlege of database programming (e.g.: relationships, joins, normalizing,) to any database product such as MSSQL, MySQL, Oracle Database, Filemaker, Alpha5, OpenOffice, etc.  But none of those other database products will open a database file made in Access.  (Or rather, may have very limited ability to open very simple databases, but you'll probably lose the relationship links.)  So your Access training won't be a total loss, but you'll need to learn the specifics of whatever database product you eventually use.

  • Is installing Windows via bootcamp bad for my hardrive? (It crashed)

    Hello,
    I purchased my new Macbook Pro 13" in January of this year, and my hardrive recently completely crashed. I was lucky enough to have Apple pay for a new hd, but I really want to know what caused it. The only thing I can think of that makes any sort of sense is that installing Windows via bootcamp screwed up the hardrive somehow and caused it to fail from getting worked too much from always restarting into Windows / having too much of my hd dedicated to Windows (150 gb of my 750gb SATA hd). I dont know if any of this makes sense, or if I just got really unlucky and got a bad hd from the factory. I have never physically damaged my macbook (like dropping it or whatever) and have never stored it in extremely hot or cold temperatures. The copy of Windows I installed was legit and everything....so I am scared to reinstall windows in fear that my hd will fail again
    So my question is this...... is there any way that the bootcamp partition could have cause my hd to fail? Is it safe to go ahead and install windows again?
    Thank you for you time.

    I have never heard of bootcamp causing hard drive failure. I think it is more likely that you were unlucky and ended up with a bad drive. Something like 1 in 100,000 fail, that 1 has to land on someone. If you are worried about bootcamping again I would recommend Parallels or VMWare Fusion. They are both excellent virtualization applications and offer a soft cap on the windows partition size because it is a file kept inside of OSX instead of a physical partition. I have been running Parallels for 6 months with no problems.
    Best,

  • Problem booting after failed Windows (via Bootcamp) installation

    Good Day,
    yesterday i recieved my brand new 21" iMac.
    I wanted to install Windows via Bootcamp. I partitioned the Harddrive, started the installation and when Windows setup came to the point where it has to reboot (after copying the necessary files to the harddrive during the part of the setup process with the blue screen), it said something like "disc error, press any key to boot from CD. Nothing happend and the only way to start the computer was while holding down the ALT key and selecting the Macintosh disc.
    I deleted the bootcamp partition, but still my computer wants to boot windows giving me the "disc error" message. Everytime i have to start the computer holding the ALT key to boot into OSX (it only shows me the Macintosh drive, no more windows drive to select).
    Who can help?
    Thanks!

    It is a common error, which i've faced too.
    Did you formatted the windows partition when into xp/vista/7 installation?
    Boot Camp assistant only partition the hard drive, but you will have to format the windows partition yourself before installing, or you'll get that error when trying to boot/reboot in windows after installation.
    You'll just have to start your iMac with the Windows CD/DVD, and redo the installation, this time formatting the partition (not with the fast format option).
    Best regards!

  • Macbook Pro 2011 problem with windows via bootcamp

    I have macbook pro early 2011  and my disk drive not working.
    I tried to install windows via bootcamp by an external disk drive but it failed to boot from the windows install disk.
    how can i install it?

    The Snow Leopard Windows drivers are on your Snow Leopard install disk. There is no download for Windows drivers and Snow Leopard.
    You should include your computer model and year in your posts. Answers may vary depending on your hardware.
    XP is not supported on newer Apple computers. You should install Windows 7.

  • Used 60 GB for Windows partition (BOOTCAMP) had less than 25GB free after instalation

    Installed windows on bootcamp on my 2012 Retina MacBook Pro (256 SSD). I used 60 GB for Windows partition (BOOTCAMP) had only about 25 GB free after instalation. Why?
    If I look at the size of all the folders inside BOOTCAMP it adds up to 17 GB. Where did almost 20 GB go?
    I'd truly appreciate any help with this.
    Thank you,
    Matej

    Look for two files.  pagefile.sys and hibernation.sys...these are used as swap space and ram sleep image respectively.  You can limit the first as suggested and turn the later off.

  • IMac not working after attempting to install windows via bootcamp, what do?

    So I tried installing windows into my iMac OS X via Bootcamp. I followed the instructions from the tutorial video; however, I may have used the wrong disk. I used iWork to partition so I can get windows running, the results of this attempt was a black screen with white text saying "no bootable drive -- insert a boot disk and press any key" I cannot eject the disc at all, none of the keys on the wired keyboard responds, nor does the wired mouse I use. I need to get rid of this and go back to using the previous operating system. The only button on my computer that does work atm is just the power button. What is a solution to solve this?
    Also, I did not download anything from the internet (i.e. download windows 7) to get to where I was trying to go, so I'm sure a virus did not cause this. How do I eject the disc from the computer if I cannot eject the disc using the eject key on the keyboard since the keyboard does not respond...

    Hello Erick419
    Try starting up the computer and holding the option key. From there you should get something similar to the image below. Then you can choose your Mac Startup Disk and also should be able to hit the eject button to get the disk out.

  • Windows via Bootcamp keyboard/mouse not working???

    I have a 15" Macbook Pro and have installed Windows 7 Ultimate via bootcamp with all the correct apple support drivers but suddenly my keyboard/mouse will not work at the sign in screen for Windows at all. Up untill this point I could restart my mac and resign in through the windows partition and easily play my favorite games. Recently I tried signing into windows but at the sign in screen I cannot use my mouse nor my keyboard. Please do not tell me to reinstall windows unless that is the only solution because of data not backed up. Is it a driver issue, how can that be because it worked fine for weeks? Please get back to me as soon as possible!!
    Specs:
    Processor 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7
    Memory 8 GB (Raam) 1600MHz DDR3
    Graphics NVIDIA GeGorce GT 650M 1024MB
    Software OS X 10.8.2 (Mountain Lion)

    If the mouse and keyboard are working under OSX then it can't be a hardware issue. 
    You could try:
    starting Windows in safe mode to see if the mouse and keyboard work. (Press F8 repeatedly just before Windows starts to boot to bring up the Windows boot menu.)  Safe mode loads a set of basic drivers to just get Windows running and no more.
    Another thing you can try is unplug the mouse and re-plug it in after a few seconds while at the login window.  The USB ports may re-detect the mouse.
    Try booting from a Windows PE CD or USB stick if you have one.  If the keyboard and mouse work under Windows PE then it's probably a driver issue under your Windows install.
    Did you install anything under Windows before this happened?

  • Trouble removing Windows via BootCamp

    Hello,
    I've installed windwos about a year ago on my Macbook Pro via BootCamp.
    Now I wish to delete it and I feagured out that the only way to do it is also via BootCamp.
    When I open BootCamp there is only one option available: "Download the latest Apple software fro Windows".
    Below that there is an options that says: "Install or remove Windows 7" but I can't choose it for some reason.
    I also can't (and shouln't) delete the windows partition with Disk Utility. I can easily access my BootCamp partition via Finder but it seems as if Boot Camp Utility doesn't realize that I've already installed Windows.
    Is it because I don't have the Windows installation?
    Thanks for the help

    If the delete windows button is grayed out, the only option I know is backup your OSX files and clean install OSX either via USB or internet recovery (command + R). Before you install, use the disk utility option to fully erase your physical drive.

  • Deleted Windows via bootcamp, but Launchpad still shows the windows apps. Why?

    I had Windows 7 installed on my 2008 Macbook Pro, but after deleting the partition via Bootcamp some time ago, the Windows apps still appear in Launchpad. I'm wondering whether this indicates that there is something of Windows still present on my hard drive? Because I'd rather it not be there, at least for the reason that it absolutely clutters up my Launchpad app selection.
    Something to mention is that I used to have a trial copy of Parallels installed on this computer, but I deleted it before I deleted my Windows partition. Hence, the apps are visible within the Mac OS.
    This link shows a screenshot image of Launchpad, which shows what I see in Launchpad. I daresay that this is related to something Parallels left on my computer, but if anyone can give any idea as to what I should do, I'd greatly appreciate it!

    Okay...had a breakthrough! I went to my Applications folder, but not the regular one, the one found in HD/Users/Me/Applications. There was a folder called "My Boot Camp Applications". I was like whaaaat? So I looked inside, and all the applications I was concerned about were there. I deleted them...and all's good. I'm confused, but relieved. I'm guessing that they were just isolated apps that weren't connected with anything, as I had deleted the Bootcamp partition. So, it looks like things are resolved for the time being...let's hope things don't explode!
    I thought I'd put message out there before I rebooted, in case I couldn't after for whatever reason...
    Thanks heaps for your help everyone, I really appreciate the helpfulness and willingness of the community. Bravo to you all.
    All the best,

    When I select my windows volume it says no bootable device -- insert boot disk
    What can I do ?
    Thanks

    Lilly,
    since you just got your new MacBook Pro, at this point I’d recommend making an appointment at an Apple store to show them what’s happening when you run Boot Camp Assistant. Be sure to take your Windows 7 disc and your USB SuperDrive with you, so you can show them how it currently behaves. Please include in your reply whether they were able to resolve the problem, and if so, how they did it, so that future readers of this discussion can benefit from your experience.

  • Cannot use isight camera with Windows 7 x32 on Macbook mid-2009

    Very very weird,
    it worked until bootcamp was upgraded mid next year.
    I have been looking for a solution siunce then.
    Wife is using the notebook and she is mad every time she is answering call from Skype or MSN Messenger she needs to reboot into Lion.
    She uses Windows 7 x32 on bootcamp most of the time yet she cannot use the camera.
    The camera shows grey and freezes wiuth busy mouse cursor.
    booting intro Lion works so it is something with the drivers.
    Can anyone help?
    I have looking for months already and I did not see solutions...
    Andrea

    Issue Fixed.
    BootCamp 3.2 - 3.3 breaks the functionality with Windows 7 at the latest patch level.
    The fix has been:
    upgrading OSX to Lion
    Patch to latest release
    Go To Boot Camp Assistant
    Download Windows Support Files to Jump Drive (second option I believe it is)
    Reboot into Windows 7
    Run Setup - BootCamp 4.0 will install
    Reboot
    Launch Skype or MSN Messenger - ISight will magically work again!
