DVD's and game install discs not working on Windows 8 bootcamp.

I have installed Windows 8 on bootcamp and whenever I insert a disk into the computer, windows 8 doesn't seem to pick it up. I've installed Windows 8 just as all the tutorials have said, and I've downloaded all the drivers onto Windows 8. How can I fix this problem?

Windows 8 is not supported on Boot Camp. Install Windows 7 instead.

Plugin created using C++ 6 and Acrobat 6 SDK Not Working in Windows

I have an Acrobat plugin compiled in Visual C++ 6 using Acrobat 6 SDK. The plugin works flawlessly in Acrobat versions 6 to 9 in Windows XP. While the plugin is able to add a menu iterm and tool bar icon in Windows 7, it causes Acrobat to hang everytime when activated in which event I have to close Acrobat. Since Visual C++ 6 is a 32 bit app, I have to believe that Acrobat 6 SDK is responsible for the behavior described herein in attempting to get the plugin to work in Windows 7. Any comments or suggestions regarding what Visual C++ version to use along with the appropriate Acrobat SDK to get the plugin to work in Windows 7 are appreciated. In doing so, I would also be interested in knowing what backward compatibility one may expect w/regard to previous versions of Acrobat in updating the plugin to work in Windows 7. As for the answer, correct me if I am wrong but I'm thinking Acrobat 9.

Adobe hasn't supported Acrobat 6, VC6 or the Acrobat 6 SDK for at least 5 years. You will need to move to the Acrobat 9 SDK if you wish support.
And Acrobat 9 and its SDK are fine with Windows 7.

Brightness and volume control keys not working with windows 7?

brightness, volume control and some other keys keys are not working with windows 7 with macbook pro retina. Can I fix it?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Have you installed Boot Camp drivers? You need them to make your computer work properly on Windows, and to use your function keys as Play or Pause, volume and brightness keys.
To install them, follow these steps:
1. Press the X key while your Mac is starting to start into OS X.
2. Open Boot Camp Assistant and tick only the option to download Windows support software.
3. Windows support software will be downloaded and Boot Camp Assistant will ask you to burn it into a DVD or USB drive, so do it.
4. Start into Windows, insert the DVD or USB drive and install Boot Camp drivers. Your Mac and your volume and brightness keys will be working after installing the drivers

APPLE mouse & keyboard not working with Windows (Bootcamp)

I installed Leopard and Windows XP on my Mac Pro. The installation went very smoothly. Only problem I have is that my Apple wireless keyboard and mouse do not work on Windows (frozen) although they work fine on Leopard. I tried a Logitech wireless trackball and it works fine on both Windows and Leopard. Any suggestion?

Thanks. I upgraded from Tiger and downloaded Bootcamp from Leopard Installation disc ( I did not have a beta version ). I then installed Windows XP SP2 ( brand new, just bought for that purpose ). Wonder if Mac wireless keyboard and mouse are compatible with Window. Everything else work beyond my expectation.

My key sound and game sound is not working I did everything

My key sounds game sound not working YouTube music working fine pls help

If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

Adobe AIR Error - Uninstalling and Re-installing does not work?

I keep getting this error everytime I turn n my laptop. I have uninstalled and re-installed Adobe AIR several times and still keep getting this error after it tells me it has been installed successfully. "This installation of this application is damage. Try re-installing or contacting the publisher for assistance." What is wrong with this program? I cannot keep uninstalling and re-installing this program and it is not installing properly.

Pat has a great point and asks a good question. In addition to identifying the AIR application that is causing you problems you may also want to review Troubleshoot AIR installation | Windows - http://helpx.adobe.com/air/kb/troubleshoot-air-installation-windows.html.

Windows XP Professional Install Disc not working properly?

Recently my school offered everyone in my major a free copy of Windows XP Professional, which I was able to download for free from their site. I downloaded the install disc as a .iso file, and burned a copy onto a CD so I could install it on my Mac with Boot Camp. However, when I ran the Boot Camp Assistant and put in the XP Professional CD, it restarted, began loading the disc, and then came to a screen asking me whether I wanted to install Windows, repair Windows, or quit out of the installer. I tried pressing the enter key several times to get it to start installing, but it wasn't accepting any keyboard input. I held down the power button to restart, ran the Boot Camp Assistant again, and did the same thing with my copy of XP Home Edition. It brought up the same screen as before, but now I was able to start the install, without any problems. Is this a problem with the .iso file I downloaded, or is there a compatibility issue with booting from the XP Professional CD?

I have posted a fix on the following thread, I hope that this helps.

Magic mouse and aluminum wireless keyboard not working in windows 7

Aluminum wireless keyboard (fully upgraded firmware as of 2/19/2010) not working, or magic mouse. Both from Apple Store, not amazon or ebay.
No error shown for magic mouse, only "connecting to device" for 15 minutes now.
With keyboard, at times it shows an error, but sometimes it lets me type a passkey. It doesn't recognize the passkey although it's saying it's paired, it doesn't work.
Help?

Getting Bluetooth set up initially in Bootcamp is a bit of a hit and miss affair in my experience, but persistence pays off, and connection is reliable. I gave up with the keyboard on my Mac Pro at one stage, tried again a few days later and it worked.
How did you do it?
Persistence and repetition, reading lots of threads and getting snippets from various sources, can't recall any silver bullets.
Have you searched this forum, there are a LOT of posts on the subject.
Links please? I can't find any.
If you type "bluetooth" in the search box while at the top level of the Bootcamp section you will get six pages of hits. Here are just a few, not necessarily the best or a complete list or in any particular order, but they contain relevant info.
I can't remember the detail now but one of the key steps for me was launching the bluetooth "service" mentioned in some of these links. Initially option wasn't appearing at all. Also mine (and others) seems to need a single click after boot to be activated. If you try and move it before a click it won't respond so you might think it wasn't working.
BTW I am assuming you have successfully installed the Boot Camp 3.1 drivers?

11.1.4 and 11.1.5 not working in windows 7 64bit

I updated to 11.1.4 and experienced the same problems as many others- uninstalling and re installing eradicated the error messages but the store never opened and my phone would not sync.
I've up graded to 11.1.5 and now it is freezing, crashing- including the laptop and the problems with the store and phone remain- my phone shows an error message saying it is unsupported- is this because it is a standard 4?
Any ideas?
SisterM

When do you see that error message, when you update or launch iTunes? And does QuickTime launch normally.
What versions of iTunes and QuickTime Player are installed on your computer? We'll want to get iTunes updated to 11.1.5, and Quicktime Player updated to 7.7.5.
This Apple doc also has info that can help -> iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues

Connection to external display does not work under windows bootcamp, with a thunderbolt to vga adapter.

Hello guys, after searching a lot in the forum for an answer to this, I could not find a solution so this is the reason for this post.
I have a Macbook Pro (early 2011 I think) running MacOSX Lion and I have installed Windows 7 64-bit through bootcamp (version 4.0).
Everything works fine except that I cannot connect my external display through my thunderbolt-vga adapter.
The external monitor shows only the boot screen of windows (the one with the windows logo) and then, when I get into the login page it goes blank.
After reading the forum, I have done several things in order to fix this problem such as:
Restarting the macbook with the thunderbolt device connected to it.
Updated to the latest ATI drivers through bootcamp.
Removed the graphics driver and re-install it again.
I have tried to identify the external monitor through windows 'screen resolution' tool (attached photo).
but still no luck.
Does anyone have any idea on what else I could do in order to fix this? By the way, I find it very frustrating that Apple does not have a stable solution to the problem with devices that are connected to the thunderbolt port.
Thank you in advance

and here is the attached screenshot

Satellite A300 - dvd, usb and card reader will not work

Help required please.
Have a A300 Satellite laptop, running vista.
Until a couple of weeks ago all good, then noticed the dvd/cd did not recognized and disc in it. The card reader cannot find anything on the card (and yes the card was full).
The usb scanner is recognized as a external memory card and the other usb port does not fuction.
I have not installed or cannot remember changing settings or doing anything out of the usually.
Any help or thoughts would be appreciated.

Hi
Your posting is very confusing.
> Until a couple of weeks ago all good, then noticed the dvd/cd did not recognized and disc in it.
Well, there are many reasons for that; it could be possible that inserted disk is not fully compatible. Try different disks from different manufacturers.
It could be also possible that laser lens of the ODD is dirty. In such case you could clean it using a cotton-wool tip and alcohol. In my case this helped.
> The card reader cannot find anything on the card (and yes the card was full).
Did you use a compatible card? The notebook handles these cards:
SD Card 8MB - 2GB
SDHC Card - 4GB
xD picture card - 16MB-2GB
Memory Stick - 8MB-256MB
Memory Stick Pro - 256MB-2GB
MultiMediaCard - 8MB-1GB
miniSD (with SD adapter) - 32MB-2GB
I would also recommend to format the card and to copy some files from computer and then to test this.
You could also reinstall and update the driver for card reader controller...
> The usb scanner is recognized as a external memory card
Cannot believe that You should use a scanner software (should be provided with the scanner) and should test this device. By the way; mostly a scanner driver needs to be installed in order to use this

Wireless keyboard and mighty mouse do not work with windows Vista

I have a new iMac core 2 duo 20" used by my granddaughter.
The drive has been partitioned using 50-50 with Boot Camp Assistant to form 2 250 GB partitions and windows Vista has been installed on one of them. The installation process runs smoothly as does the process when the OSX disc is installed for the relevant drivers for keyboard, mouse, isight camera etc. At the end of this process it is necessary to click a :"finish" button but at this point the mouse and keyboard have frozen and there is no other way of inputting information. Restarting in windows takes me to the log in page but there is no way to input the user name and proceed further.
Apple support has suggested hat I use a wired keyboard and mouse or call Microsoft support. Microsoft support have told me that they do not support Vista on a Mac.
Any suggestions would be helpful.

I had the same problem on the mac mini from my dad with windows XP.
I could install everything smoothly but when i wanted to connect the mighty mouse and a wireles apple keyboard i had the same problem.
I fixed this by using a mouse with cable and then add the keyboard and mouse via bluetooth in the configurationscreen. i had to do do this 6 times (the same thing) before it worked so maybe its the same in vista

USB trackball and optical drive do not work in Windows

When booted in Windows, my new MacBook Pro -- which has no internal optical drive -- does not recognize a USB trackball or my new USB optical drive. Neither appears in the Windows control panel. I downloaded the recommended driver for the trackball, but although I can find the driver installer in Windows' downloads, when run it has no effect on the trackc ball. I worked with two senior Apple support technicans on this problem to no avail. Mac OS 10.10.2

BC is short for Bootcamp Drivers. These drivers support Apple-specific hardware on your Mac. They can be found at Boot Camp: System requirements for Microsoft Windows operating systems - Apple Support . Assuming you have a 2014 rMBP - Boot Camp Support Software 5.1.5640 should be installed on your MBP. Do you have a Boot Camp option in Control Panel -> System? If yes, then you can Boot Camp: Install or repair Boot Camp drivers and test the devices?
After you plug-in these devices, do you see any unknown devices (with a yellow triangle and exclamation mark) in Control Panel -> Hardware -> Device Manager? The Apple SuperDrive driver is included in the BC drivers bundle 5.1.5640.

Website payment and shopping cart buttons not working on Windows Phone browser

A customer shopping on our site notified me that the "add to cart" and "view cart" buttons were taking him to the PayPal main site and not the shopping cart. I tried a Windows Phone at the Verizon store and found the same issue. I have tested the site on multiple Windows desktop browsers, on Android, Linux and iPad and have never seen this issue. What is going on with IE on Windows Phone?

I had this problem too, but I found a post burried on the web that said to add " p06- " (without quotes) before the imap and smpt server names and that worked:
p06-imap.mail.me.com
p06-smtp.mail.me.com
Everything stays checked, SSL for both, authentication and use same username and password checked.
