Cursor problem when I boot to Windows

So, I've used a Windows 7 install disk with Boot Camp to create a Windows partition, but, when I boot to Windows, the cursor isn't on the 'select country options' install screen. I'm running the latest version of Mavericks (10.9.4) and am using a MacBook Pro 13-inch Retina.
To out it differently, I'm getting no mouse, trackpad or keyboard response when trying to install Windows. PLEASE HELP!!!!

Sorry, really bad typos there and I put it rather badly...
What I mean is that I used Bootcamp and booted to the Windows partition. It was working fine until it comes to the 'Installing Windows' screen, where it tells me to select my keyboard, currency and language options, but my keyboard is un-responsive and the backlighting i';t working, my trackpad cursor doesn't show up on screen and my mouse (a Windows-compatible options) has the same problem as the trackpad. I've tried 'wriggling' the mouse around, but that doesn't work...
Please help, I really need to use Windows 7!!!
Thanks in advance!

I am having problems when i have minimized windows and try to open a new window it will open all minimized windows along with the new window. It just changed when mozzilla updated. It did not do this before the update.

I am having problems when i have minimized windows and try to open a new window it will open all minimized windows along with the new window. It just changed when mozzilla updated. It did not do this before the update. Before the update if i had minimized windows they would stay minimized when i opened a new window. Please help ,I would guess it is just a setting somewhere but i cannot figure out where the setting is. Thanks jason

How do you switch iMac 27" display when in Boot Camp (Windows 7)?

Hello,
My 27" iMac works great as an external display as long as the iMac is booted into OS X and I hit command-F2.
When I boot my iMac into Boot Camp (Windows 7) however, hitting command-F2 doesn't work to use my iMac as an external display.
Is there any way to get the 27" iMac to enter external display mode if you have booted it into Windows 7 rather than OS X?
Thanks!

I have the same problem, 64bit Win7 Home Ed. loaded with all the recent updates including a Bootcamp patch from last week.
I posted on 9/2/10 and haven't gotten a reply. Did a lot of Google searching but only found it is a problem many have, but that no "real" solution is available.
Since I have had issues in Win7 after it crashes this way and after on/off (unlike you), I'm not willing to mess with it anymore.
I doubt Microsoft will commit to fixing this and it's not likely to be a top priority for Apple.

When dual-booting with Windows 7, Mac OSX time settings reset every reboot.

I have recently installed Windows 7 Professional on my mid 2010 MacBook Pro via BootCamp (Running Mavericks BTW). Everything runs grean and have not experienced any problems on the Windows side, but I have a problem with Mac OSX now. When I am using Windows 7, and I reboot into Mac OSX, I find that my time settings are wrong. It seems like my time zone has changed, because the date is correct, as well as the minutes, but the hour is always wrong. When I go to Date & Time in System Preferences, and my time zone is correct, but I still have to chage the hour in the time. Any ideas as to why this is happening and how to stop it would be greatly appreciated.

If you dual boot your Windows PC with OS X or Linux, you may have experienced a problem in which your clocks reset themselves incorrectly every time you boot into Windows. Here's a simple registry edit to fix that.
Essentially, the incorrect clock setting happens because OS X and Linux use GMT time while Windows tries to synchronize with your local time zone, getting confused when you reboot between the two. Apple's own Boot Camp drivers for Windows are supposed to fix this problem, though some users have noticed that it still happens even with the drivers installed, and some Linux users are left out in the cold. Furthermore, if you have a Hackintosh, you can't install the Boot Camp drivers, so you'll need to find another way around the problem.
To fix it, just hit Start and type regedit.exe in the search box. Hit Enter and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation. Right click anywhere in the right pane and hit New > DWORD (32-bit) Value. Name it RealTimeIsUniversal, then double click on it and give it a value of 1.
Lastly, reboot into OS X, then reboot back into Windows. You should now notice that your clock actually displays the correct time.

Gmail sign in problems when using Firefox in Windows 8

I haven't quite figured out under what circumstances this does or does not happen, but many times when I boot up my new Windows 8 computer, launch Firefox (in 'desktop' mode, not 'metro,' if that makes a difference(, and go to http://gmail.com, I cannot sign in to my gmail account. After entering the username and password, the sign in simply 'hangs' or freezes. There is a sign in progress bar that normally disappears in a blink of the eye, but instead it just stays there, empty, and the sign in process is never completed. Clearing the cache and cookies resolves this problem, but it is annoying to have to do this every time I boot up my computer. Has anyone else had this problem, and is there a known solution?

Thanks, iamjayakumars. It was clearly something in one particular user account on the computer (there are several, and only one user seemed to have the problem). Since it's a new computer, I just wiped that user from Windows 8 and started from scratch. Problem seems to be solved. So, as your help file suggests, there probably was something in that user profile's setting folder causing issues, and a clean start as a new user (hopefully) resolved it.

Arch does not show up in Grub when dual booting with windows 8

I just installed Arch linux, dual booting with windows 8 using the beginners guide[https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners'_Guide] itself. Now Grub is installed and i can only find Windows 8 and I cannot find Arch. Is there a way I can find if arch linux has been installed and show up in Grub.
Sorry, I am a newbie, but i chose to post this topic here and not newbie corner as it is installation related.
My windows 8 is installed on /dev/sda1 with ntfs partition type. Arch Linux is installed on /dev/sda6 and it is ext4 partition. I dont know if this info helps. I am using Thinkpad R61

I am sorry, yes you are too late. I have wiped windows 8 and performed clean install. No regrets. And as a matter of fact, I did grub-config and then installed os-prober. That could be the problem. Thanks. I will try this again another time.

Cursor problem when using inside JInternalFrame

HI there,
My problem is describe below:
JDK Environment: 1.3
Scenario: A JLabel with a mouseListener inside a JInternalFrame. The mouseListener listen to the mouseEntered and mouseExited event. When it is mouseEntered event,it change to Cursor.HAND_CURSOR , when it is mouseExited event,it change to Cursor.DEFAULT_CURSOR. This works fine inside JInternalFrame. I had tested that...
The problem occurs when the mouse move OUTSIDE of the JInternalFrame. The cursor won't convert anymore after the mouse move outside the Jinternalframe, is it a swing bug? any suggestion there?
Thank you.
Application Developer,
Chin
---------code attached for clarification -----------------
label.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter(){
public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent me){
frame.getContentPane().setCursor (Cursor.getPredefinedCursor(Cursor.HAND_CURSOR));
public void mouseExited(MouseEvent me){
frame.getContentPane().setCursor(Cursor.getPredefinedCursor(Cursor.DEFAULT_CURSOR));
WHERE label sit inside a JInternalFrame...

I believe you are setting the cursor to far back in the containment hiearchy. Each JComponent could have a separate Cursor. I cannot recall how to make a JInternalFrame active so you'll have to click it to see the Cursors on the Iframeimport java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class CursorTest extends JFrame
   private JDesktopPane desk;
   private JInternalFrame f;
   private JLabel l;
   public CursorTest()
      super("Cursor Test");
      setSize(500, 400);
      setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
      l = new JLabel("Point Mouse Here");
      l.setCursor (Cursor.getPredefinedCursor
         (Cursor.HAND_CURSOR));
      f = new JInternalFrame("Cursor Zone",
                  true, true, true, true);
      f.getContentPane().setLayout(new FlowLayout());
      ((JComponent)f.getContentPane()).setCursor
            (Cursor.getPredefinedCursor
            (Cursor.CROSSHAIR_CURSOR));
      f.getContentPane().add(l);
      f.setVisible(true);
      desk = new JDesktopPane();
      desk.setCursor(Cursor.getPredefinedCursor
               (Cursor.MOVE_CURSOR));
      desk.add(f);
      f.setBounds(50, 50, 144, 89);
      setLayeredPane(desk);
   public static void main(String[] args)
      CursorTest cT = new CursorTest();
      cT.setVisible(true);
      cT.desk.getDesktopManager().
         activateFrame(cT.f);

Using Airport on A mac When you booted into Windows XP

I'm a complete newbie when it comes to iMac computers. In a short while, I will receive my first imac Computers. As i Heard, you can access my wireless network at homewith the airport in my Mac. However, how do i access the web if i was to Boot in Windows Xp. Is there a special process that allows me to use the Airport card when Im using Windows Xp
Windows XP

Hi
The Airport connection will appear as a wireless connection in your network settings in Windows. Depending on your Windows configuration, it may well appear as an icon in your taskbar at the bottom right of the screen - you can double-click on this icon (and enter a password if necessary) to access your network.

If I want to run OSX Server and also want to run Windows 8 on Boot Camp, will server still run when I boot into windows?

I want to set up OSX Server on my iMAC running Mavericks and also install Windows 8 on Boot Camp. If I do this and boot into Windows, will that prevent server from running while I'm in Windows?

No. Bootcamp, as you've described, requires rebooting into your chosen operating system. If you want to run both OS X and Windows at the same time from your hardware, look at virtualization tools like Parrallels or VMWare.

I'm also getting the dreaded Blue Screen Of Death when I boot into Windows

This happened right after I upgraded to the most recent version of iTunes. Everytime I initially boot the computer, it would get into Windows, crashes immediately, then my system reboots and I'm able to get into windows no problem.
Reading the help section it says to go and download & reinstall the previous version of iTunes. Ok simple enough, but where on earth can I find the previous version?? The link it provides takes me to the latest version. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place?
Can someone please direct me to where I can download the previous version?
Thanks very much.

Hi,
Thanks very much for the reply. I'm glad somebody was able to give me this information!
So I went to the website and I downloaded 8.0.0.35, BUT when I tried to install it, I got an error message that said: "A later version of iTunes is already installed on this computer."
I'm afraid if I uninstall my current iTunes, then I will lose all my playlists and stuff. There's no way to just install the old version on top of the new one? If no, is that the proper procedure to uninstall first and then reinstall?
Thanks.

Serious problem when instaling Boot Camp.

Hi, I hope someone can help me because my boot camp has been giving me every problem imaginable.
When I first tried to install windows, boot camp had no problems creating the partition, but my windows XP, for whatever reasons, did not installed.
So, I borrowed a trial windows from a friend, it installed ok, and I installed 3Ds Max in it(which is pretty much the only reason I needed boot camp, since I don't own a PC), and everything was perfect for the 30 days the trial version lasted.
Then, after it expired, I destroyed, the re-created the partition again, and another friend gave me a copy of his windows XP, and from her everything went to ****. The system installed correctly, but when I ran windows, the graphics were incredibly slow, even dragging a window around the desktop looked really jaggy, and 3DS Max installed, but wouldn't run.
I tried the exact same thing with other 2 windows xp copies(all 32 bit), and the exact same thing happened. And now, I have noticed the when I create the partition for windows, it renames itself "untitled" in the mac os desktop, and, even if I erase it, when I turn on the computer it doesn't get me directly to Mac OS, but rather searches for the windows partition even if it's no longer there. I have to press the alt key for the mac partition to appear.
I hope someone can at least tell me what the **** is wrong with my boot camp, thanks to everybody in advance.

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
as for the startup problem: once you are in OSX goto System Preferences - Startup Volume and set your OSX volume to be the default startup volume.
(During the Windows installation this is set to be the WIndows partition and remains that way until resetted).
For the obvious with the Windows installation: after the successful installation of Windows did you insert your OSX install DVD while in Windows to install the needed BootCamp Windows Drivers ?
If not, then that's why you had these graphics problems.
Read through the BootCamp Installation Guide here http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/

I installed bootcamp 5 for my late 2012 iMac 21" and installed the latest version of windows 8, however when i boot with windows i dont get any sound, what can i do to fix this?

I'm trying to playa game called day z (not sure if many are familiar) through boot camp 5 and the newest version of windows 8 it's pretty much a must to hear everything going on around me and I can't exactly do that when the sound drivers aren't working. I've updated all of my software and still nothing is working. If anyone has a link to the newest windows 8 sound drivers it'd be greatly appreciated. Or if you have any other solutions it would be greatly appreciated!

I'd recommend reposting in the Boot Camp forum, with a few exceptions most people on this forum only speak OS X. That forum can be found at:

VERY SENSITIVE TOUCHPAD CAUSING PROBLEMS WHEN TYPING MESSAGESS IN WINDOWS LIVE MAIL

The laptop was recently purchased new. Windows Live Mail was installed and a mouse is used.
In respondng to an email, new email or typing a message in a forum setting such as this, the entire text would disappear which was often before a complete sentance could be typed and could not be retrieved. This process would repeat itself over and over again.
A technical representative from the company that sold the laptop concluded that combined with a very sensitive touchpad,
a moving cursor arrow, shadow from the typing hand and lightly brushing the touchpad with the typing hand either singularly or in any combination were the likely causes of the problem. He then, using the software in the laptop, deactivated the tap function in the touchpad leaving all other functions in the touchpad in place. This resolved the problem.
- Is there a device or software in the laptop that adjusts the sensitivity of the touchpad so that the tap function can be restored?
- Is it possible that the combination of Windows 8.1 and Windows LIve Mail is really the problem and if so, how is this determined and if necessary resolved?
-Is there a hardware / software malfunction in the laptop causing this problem?
Any advice and comments would be appreciated

Hi @unfinished ,

Problem in dual boot xp & windows 7--Lenovo g450

I installed Windows 7 & xp and i set up dual boot menu also. The problem is Windows 7 works only with ACHI HDD configuration in BIOS and XP works only with IDE HDD configuration in BIOS. So eyery time i boot other os, i have to set HDD configuration in BIOS. Is there any solution to avoid the BIOS settings change?

Put the HDD to IDE. Install XP, Leave it IDE install Win7 and they both will dual boot. Thats what I used to triple boot.
