Clean install of windows 7 - how to install drivers from USB memory stick?

I purchased a Toshiba Satellite C50 loaded with windows 8 but want to revert to windows 7.
I have downloaded the necessary drivers and have mounted the .exe files onto a USB pen for installation.
Before I proceed to wipe windows 8 I'd like to know - if I install 7, will my trackpad stop functioning?
If so, how do I install the relevant drivers from the USB pen?
Thanks, John

99.9% sure that W7 will identify the trackpad and install it. You just run the exe's using file explorer or Start >Run then browse. You may decide to leave the laptop as the W7 install left it but you should check Device Manager to ensure there are no unrecognised devices

How to get iPhoto and iTunes to a clean installed Yosemite from Time Machine

I wiped the Hard Drive and clean installed to OS X Yosemite. For Some reason, some of my Time Machine back ups disappeared or got deleted and it wasn't even full. I had back ups from 2011 and now it only starts from 2013 of June.
Next....when I try to restore my other apps(like iPhoto and my iTunes) I doesn't give that warp space effect in the background. It gives me the window layer effect but I just see the same mountain background on the desktop as the default Yosemite(unless thats how its suppose to look like that?) I can't restore using Time Machine because the little lines at the right are red (see screen shot) and it won't let me restore, and if i go back by using the arrows, if freezes. So,
I don't know how to install the old iTunes and iPhoto on my existing clean installed Yosemite from my Time Machine.
Can someone help me?

@ LarryHN Thank you ver much for you help I understand now that you just can't copy over the old library(got it)
I had the latest version of iPhoto before I cleaned installed.
The link you gave me was most informative and I want to thank you. But still problems arrive.
This came up and I don't know which one to pick

Acrobat X Pro no longer edits pdf's after doing clean install going from 10.9 to 10.10 on mac.

all other suite programs seem to work just fine. Just not Acrobat X. Was install from upgrade serials numbers. Acrobat X does not work well using Yosemite for me.....

I am not able to edit scanned documents that once could. They were scanned in as PDF files. The files that I once could edit in Acrobat x Pro are no longer editable. Past PDF's that I used change dates and resend no work. I did a clean install going from maverick 10.9 to yosemite 10.10 due to an issue with third party program. Since the clean install I have not been able to see or work on older adobe files that I once could. Everything that had a adobe icon attach to it has disappeared and been replaced with an apple pdf icon. It will not let me select areas as I once could to even copy and paste.
Thanks-

Installing Yosemite from USB - OS X Utilities or OS X Installer

I have created a USB memory stick to do a clean install of Yosemite. Having created the USB memory stick, I have booted the MacBook (late 2013 Retina MacBook Pro) with the Option key held down. Each time, this gives me the option to boot from the internal disk or the USB memory key. I select the USB memory stick.
The odd thing is, sometimes the MacBook boots in to OS X Utilities. This shows a window from which you can select Disk Utility, install OS X etc. However, other times it boots in to OS X Installer. There is a menu at the top of the screen from which you can run Disk Utility.
Not sure about this, but I think the first time I boot from a newly-created USB memory stick, it loads in to OS X Utilities, and subsequent boots load the OS X Installer. If I recreate the key, it loads OS X Utilities.
Two questions come to mind:
1. Why does it do this?
2. Does it matter which way Yosemite is installed?
Thanks for any advice.

Auto Start Up when installing a usb memory stick into a usb port on the computer

Whenever I install a usb memory stick into my computer the Photoshop Album Starter Edition program begins running. How do I stop this from happening?

Phil,
I am not running the Starter Edition, but actually another version. However, since no one else has responded I will post what I think will work for the Starter Edition.
Look in your System Tray at the bottom right of your monitor. You should see a Camera icon that when you move near it will say Adobe Photo Downloader. Right click on the camera icon and you will probably have a choice of Disable - click on it.

Cannot install Raid Drivers from USB stick on Tecra S series

I tried to install RAID Toshiba drivers (F6 stuff u know) using a USB pendrive and BIOS USB FDD emulation, though detected XP installation told me file sytem was unknown.
Any help?

Hi
I agree with Jeffrey. The RAID driver installation in XP OS can be done only from the connected USB FDD!!!
The Microsoft Vista OS supports both; USB memory stick and the USB FDD drive.
As you already said you have to press the F6 during the XP setup installation to include the RAID driver from the diskette.
The RAID driver installation works a little bit different under Vista.
The vista supports a button driver installation (or something like that dont know the exactly name).
Then you should choose the right path to the RAID driver.
Thats all

OS X Snow Leopard install from (non-boot) USB memory stick

oi~
just bought this second hand and after i finally got into it (the seller forgot name/password) it turns out the DVD drive is malfunctioning, i was able to watch part of a movie but it will not boot from it nor let me install from DVD. (seller is not calling me back or responding to anything i sent) bottom-line for now i can live without the DVD drive but i would like to install OS X Snow Leopard.. can i copy the DVD contents onto a 8 GB USB memory stick (using a Vista pc) and install from the USB stick ? it does not have to be bootable as i realize to do that you must use the Mac.
i also have a old(er) iMac, maybe i can use that copy copy contents (if it even reads DVD's)
any help appreciated.. thanks.

thanks..
i thought i put my model # in my info, it's a MB061LL/B (Apple MacBook "Core 2 Duo" 2.0 13") darn... i keep getting stuck when i think i have a solution. so copying the contents of the disc to a network pc will not work either. or, could i make the
USB stick bootable and copy contents using a old iMac ?
added: i might be able to borrow a MacBook w/ a working DVD player.. is it a fairly quick and painless process to create a bootable USB stick + put OS X Snow Leopard on it ? (i'm rusty when it comes to Mac..)

How Can I boot from USB - Portege A200

Hi,
I've got an Portege A200 which is only a couple of years old but the hard drive no longer works. Initially I thought this was due to corrupting the boot record on the drive but after attempting to replace the hard drive (with two different drives) it is showing an IDE #0 error upon boot. I have therefore come to the conclusion the IDE controller chip has died.
In order to get the latop working I burned a cd with the ubunto ISO. This boots ok but due to only have 512Mb RAM the system is somewhat limited and anything installed is lost everytime I reboot.
I have now bought a 2Gb flash drive and installed ubuntu onto this. My next problem is that there appears to be no boot from USB HDD or USB Memory Stick option in the bios.
The possible options that I can think of are:
1) Upgade the bios so it supports boot from memory stick (although no HDD so not sure how I could reflash the BIOS or if there is even a BIOS upgrade that would support this functionality)
2) Create a cd which starts the boot process then tells the system to continue booting from the usb drive (Is this possible and does anyone know where I might be able to obtain such software)
3) Boot from CD but use the USB to retain any information saved / any installs etc (I guess similar to option 2 except the cd would manage the whole OS and the USB would just hold 'additional' information)
If there are any other options that anyone can think of I am happy to give them a go. Seems a shame to have to chuck a laptop that isn't particularly old because the IDE controller chip has failed on the mobo.
I apppriciate any help anyone can offer.
Many thanks,
Mark

Hi
First of all I have to say that its not possible to boot from the external USB device like the USB stick, USB CD/DVD drive or USB HDD.
Its possible only to boot from the external USB FDD (diskette) drive
However, not the booting possibilities are clear but I think you have misunderstood the IDE#0 error message. In m opinion the IDE controller is not faulty but only the new HDD is not compatible and not recognized by BIOS.
There are different reasons for this issue
Mostly this error message appears if the HDD master/slave/c-sel settings are not correct.
Usually such settings dont need to be changed or switched on 2.5 HDDs but some HDDs support an jumper which must be set in the right position. But I dont if your HDD supports this
Furthermore the not compatible HDD size could be the reason for such error messages!
So finally I would recommend contacting the ASP in your country to get a new, compatible HDD and to check if the same error persists.
Good luck

Just upgraded my system to snow leopard...now when I open documents from my memory stick, its in 'pages' not word...how do I fix that??

Did you click on the little triangle? Did you select one of the document files before pressing COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window? If the panel is closed it looks like this:
If you then click on that little triangle gadget you get this:
A temporary solution is to CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the document file, navigate to the Open With item, and select from the sub-menu.
The first method makes the association permanent. This method only applies to the currently selected document.

RD 240 1046 11U won't boot if I have USB memory sticks plugged in to it, How do I get around this?

I have the boot order changed, so that it shouldn't even try to boot from the memory sticks, just the CD-ROM and the harddrive.
However, if I start up, the server just sits there with a flashing cursor until I shutdown.
If I remove the USB memory sticks, it boots fine. They are SanDisk 64GB sticks.
Is there another setting that needs to be changed, or is there a problem with the server?
Thanks!

Dear all,
your input on the following problem would be appreciated:
We have encountered a problem with both the "logout" and "timeout" functionality used in eCRM, due to the use of basic authentication.
Following a users logout and/or timeout period expiring, we are invalidating the user's session, so any user info will be removed from the server memory, and if the user attempts to access the site again there will be a security challenge.
But since basic authentication is being used and the browser already has your authentication information, it just sends it again transparently.
Whether users will notice will depend on how many windows they have open, and which browser they're using.
For example, in IE 5, if you open the secure site in a browser window, and close that window (using the close button on the logout confirmation page), it will "forget" the authentication information. But if I open other windows while connected to the secure site, it remembers the authentication info. Even if the users don't notice, there is a security issue associated with this behaviour.......
Any thoughts/ideas on getting around this problem (other than the obvious - not using basic authentication!!)Send HttpServletResponse.SC_UNAUTHORIZED (401) in the response header: http://www.tapsellferrier.co.uk/Servlets/FAQ/authentication.html has more info.

How do I download documents/files from a memory stick onto my MacBook Pro into organised folders

How do I download documents/files from a memory stick on to my MacBook Pro and organise in to Folders?

Hi RockingRon,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The Finder application on your Mac is what you need to organize and manage files. The link below will explain how to use it. See item #8 - your memory stick will appear in the Devices section of the Sidebar on the left.
Mac Basics: The Finder
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2470
Mac Basics: Applications, files, and folders (OS X Lion)
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2476
Organizing files and folders
If you want to add more folders to set up an organizational scheme, here's how to create a new folder:
Make the Finder active (click the desktop, click inside any Finder window, or click the Finder icon in the Dock).
From the File menu, choose New Folder; a new "untitled folder" icon appears in the active Finder window.
Name your folder by simply typing a name in the highlighted text box next to the folder icon.
Or, you can simply press the Shift-Command-N key combination.
To organize your files and folders, drag any file, folder, or application that you want into your new folder, or drag the folder into any other folder to establish an organized hierarchy.
Cheers,
- Judy

How do I move a file from a memory stick to a an external drive using a mac (copy paste doesnt work)

How do I move a file from one memory stick to another using mac pro? copy paste doesnt work

Have you tried simply dragging the file from one stick to the other? Do you know the format of the memory sticks (Macs can't write to those formatted as NTFS without the use of third-party software)?

I'm new to apple after years of MS OS! How do I transfer files from my USB memory stick to another USB memory stick? cheers

How do I transfer files from one USB memory stick to another USB memory stick on the iMac? cheers, linley94

Plug in the memory stick and it should open then create a New Folder and drag and drop the contents from the memory stick to the new folder you created. Remove the original memory stick all the information should be in the new folder you created. Now plug in the new memory stick with nothing on it when it opens drag the folder with the contents from the original memory stick folder and all into the new memory stick that opened and there you have it.
