External Display won't work with boot camp updates?

I'm using Boot Camp 4.0 with the latest updates - on Windows 7 x64.
I've been using my Thunderbolt to DVI adapter for months now on the same monitor (la2206x) and suddenly it doesn't work - forcing the resolution to 640x480, which, really is a lie because the monitor isn't picking up a signal.
Tried this with 2 other monitors as well with no luck.  I depend on the second monitor for testing and design/development, so this has become high priority issue.
And no downloading HP drivers does not work - thet PC doesn't even recognize them and reverts back to "Generic Non-PNP Monitor"
Anyone else experiencing this issue?
Kind Regards,
J

I'd just like to add that this no longer works with OS X Lion 10.3.8 either...  Get your **** together Apple.  It's called MacBook "Pro" for a reason.

  • ISight is not working with boot camp

    Hi,
    I have a Macbook Pro and very satisfied with it. Formerly I worked with Windows XP, so I decided to buy a Macbook and use boot camp. Everything was fine. In my enthusiasm I bought the LED cinema display. Very good display but the iSight camera is not reliable working with boot camp. There is no driver available. Sometimes the camera is recognized as video device but mostly not. When the camera is not recognized then there is a yellow exclamation mark in the device manager. I don't know what to do. Is anybody working with boot camp and the iSight build in the LED cinema display? And what driver do you use? Hopefully I get some help here. Everything is working convenient except this issue.
    Thank you, Frank

    Sorry, I think I mixed some things. I tried several contellations to find out what is going wrong. The iSight is woking with my MacBook (and boot camp). But it is not working with other Laptops or PCs (all with Windows XP). It is working really rarely but not reliable and not replicatable. In all cases I tried only the USB connector from the LED cinema display. Audio, micro and hub is always working without problems. The iSight driver delivered with the Macbook is not working (only with the Macbook itself). If I had known this before I think I would buy the display although. The display is great. But it is a pity that the iSight is not working when you do not use Apple hardware. May be I will buy the Mac Pro in one or two years when I need a new PC. Perhaps someone can answer if Windows XP is working without problems on a Mac Pro? And is the iSight build in the LED cinema display working (Mac Pro and boot camp)?

  • Will Windows 8.1 upgrade work with Boot Camp on OS X Mavericks?

    Will Windows 8.1 upgrade work with Boot Camp on OS X Mavericks?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Of course. Make a backup of your files in Windows, and install Windows 8.1 as an upgrade. The Windows support software supports it without any issue, so if it is updated, you do not have to worry

  • Magic Mouse Not Working with Boot Camp.

    Hi All,
    I have a wired issue here. I installed Windows XP on my iMac 27" using bootcamp and all worked fine till one day my Magic Mouse stopped working in Windows. Now the funny part is windows is able to detect my mouse and says that the device is working normally but the green light under my mouse is OFF. No matter what i try i cannot get it to come on. But the moment i boot to Mac OS X the mouse works perfectly fine. My Apple Wireless KB works just fine in Windows. A USB mouse also works fine. I have also installed Parallels on my Mac and when i boot into the Windows partition using Parallels the Magic Mouse works fine. Any idea as to whats going on here.?
    John.

    I have a new (July 2009) iMac24 and neither the wireless mighty mouse nor keyboard work with Boot Camp XP Home Edition SP3. They install OK with the Bluetooth control panel, but then after five or ten seconds, drop out of the control panel and have to be discovered again. I spent two hours today with a Mac support expert, but no joy. We both gave up. It seems the wireless mouse/keyboard does not work with Boot Camp. If anyone hears of a solution, please let me know.

  • Mouse not working with Boot Camp after 10.5.7 update

    I upgraded to 10.5.7 recently, and now my mouse doesn't work on Boot Camp. It doesn't seem to register, and I can't move the pointer. I tried this with two mice that worked just fine on the Mac OSX side. Any ideas? Has anybody else noticed this?

  • Windows 8 won't work in Boot Camp, help?

    I have a late 2011 MackBook Pro 15" and I have tried multiple ways to get Windows 8 on it via Boot Camp.  I don't want to use a Virtual Machine because I need the dual booting ability.  When I try to burn the Windows 8 .ISO 32 or 64 Bit onto the DVD Disk Utility says "unable to burn Windows8 consumer preview (not recognized)".   The .ISO is from the Microsoft website so I don't understand why Disk Utility won't burn it.  I burn the .ISO through Finder and when I put it in my MacBook with Boot Camp up and running, Boot Camp just tells me to insert the Windows disk.  So Boot Camp won't read it.  Someone please help me, I've been at this for quite a while now and I haven't had any luck.

    I decided to give Windows 8 another try this morning and have installed it successfully on my 2009 MacBook Pro. It is fully functional (with audio, keyboard controls) after performing the following steps:
    - Burned 64-bit Windows 8 Consumer Preview DVD at 4x
    - Opened Boot Camp Assistant and created a support disc (I installed this on an external dos drive)
    - Allocated around 35GB to Windows
    - Restarted and performed Windows installation
    - Important: Installed Windows updates (this makes the OS stable)
    - Installed Boot Camp drivers from support disc
    For safety, I created some restore points along the way. Before installing the updates, the system hung quite a few times and there was no sound. After the updates and boot camp drivers, everything is now working fine. Good luck with your installation.

  • Wireless keyboard not working with Boot Camp

    I have a brand new 15" Macbook Pro.  I need to run Windows for work so I installed Boot Camp and Windows 8.1.  I have a HP wireless keyboard with a USB dongle.  It will not work at all.  Windows recognizes that I've plugged in the dongle but the keyboard won't work at all.  It's a brand-new keyboard and the batteries show full charge.  All drivers look good in device manager.  When I went thru the Windows troubleshooter, which is typically worthless, it said something about the dongle being USB 2.0 and the Mac's USB is 3.0.  But shouldn't it be backward compatible?  It has no problem with my old wireless mouse with a USB dongle.
    I also notice a significant difference in the clarity on my dual external monitors with Windows instead of OSx.  The colors aren't as sharp and the text isn't as clear - kind of fuzzy.  Is that just how it goes with boot camp, or is there anything I can do, like maybe an upgraded driver, to get the same clarity on my dual monitors with Windows like I get with OSx?
    Any help is appreciated.

    Unfortunately I can't turn off Bluetooth in Win 8.1.  I go to the page where i should see the slider and the page just spins and spins.  I thought my install might be hosed so I blew it away and did a fresh boot camp install.  Still no joy; BT still spins - and I still can't connect to the USB keyboard.  I can plug the dongle in and see it in devices, and it says it's ready to go but the keyboard doesn't work.  It's brand-new and has worked on a Windows box so I know it's not a bad keyboard.  Maybe time to go back to a Windows box and ditch boot camp?

  • External display won't work on Window

    Hi can anyone please help me in this? when I using window XP, my external display won't display out but when I'm using MAC OS X it work well, why? please help... Thanks

    I can only help if you are using an NVidia graphics card, as with that you can use the NVidia Control Panel to setup the external display.
    Connect the display
    Start NVidia Control panel
    Select the Display icon
    Then select Change Display Configuration
    There you can set the resolution, extend the screen or create a copy et.c.
    Hope that helps...

  • Does Quicken Premier work with Boot Camp?

    Does Quicken Premier work well with Boot Camp. I'm contemplating replacing my iMac Power PC with a new Mac Mini.

    Most any program that is compatible with Windows 7
    will work.  With the new Macs and OSX Lion, they
    will only support Windows 7.  An alternative would be
    to use VMware Fusion or Parallels Desktop for Mac.
    These create a "virtual" pc that runs inside MacOSX.
    They act as an application in OSX so that you have
    windows running at the same time OSX is running.

    Did you install the correct driver for your Windows version? Are you saying the mouse does not work in Windows after Windows is installed?

  • External display won't work over DVI

    I've got an ViewSonic vx2025wm hooked up to my MacBook Pro. It used to work fine over DVI, but some time ago the monitor stopped being able to detect the signal and I had to switch over to VGA (via my Apple DVI-to-VGA adapter). That works fine at the full resolution of the external display, but the image quality leaves something to be desired.
    Strangely, the external display works just fine in Windows XP via Boot Camp. Oh, the irony!
    Any ideas on how to get this working again? I dread the OS X re-install.

    Same problem here. Had a Dell 30" monitor plugged in for a long time. Suddenly stopped working yesterday. The symptoms: the Mac detects the external display and "thinks" it's got it there (I can tell because the active content of the window is gone on the laptop's screen), but the display does not successfully see the output from the Mac (it shines its orange "no signal" light).
    Restarting does not seem to help.
    I should test it with a new display cable, but am a little reluctant to do this, as the dual link DVI cables required for this monitor are so expensive, and because previous posters on this topic have tried swapping cables with no result.

  • LED cinema display doesn't work under boot camp

    I just installed Boot Camp and Windows 7 x64 on a Macbook Pro 2010 (6,2) with and NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M 256MB video card. The Boot Camp drivers automatically installed during the process. I plugged in my 27 inch LED Cinema Display, which works just fine on the OS X side. However, the screen was dark, as if it wasn't plugged in.
    Audio does go through the Cinema Display.
    I have tried to repair the drivers twice by running the Boot Camp support software.  I also tried to run the NVIDIA driver installation software separately. It failed.
    So, what can I do to get the Cinema Display working?
    Thanks.

    I found a solution that worked for me. I deleted from my USB drive the Boot Camp support software that I had downloaded from the Apple website and downloaded in its place the support software through the Boot Camp Assistant program. I ran setup.exe, did the repair option and restarted. I then went to the NVIDIA driver install application on the USB drive and ran it. This time, it worked! I restarted the computer and both the laptop display and the Cinema Display lit up.
    Originally, and during the previous 3 times trying to repair the drivers, I saw the ATI graphics driver getting installed. Somehow, it appears that the NVIDIA drivers didn't install before.
    I hope this helps others.

  • How can I get MagicTrackpad to work with Boot Camp and Windows Vista?

    Just installed Lion and then installed Magic Trackpad. Now I need to know how to get the Magic Tackpad to work with Windows Vista in my Boot Camp partition. Windows Bluetooth recognizes the Magic Trackpad but it says the device won't confirm the passkey. No passkey came with the Magic Trackpad and the option to not use a passkey still doesn't achieve connection with Windows. Suggestions/ comments, please.
    TIA,
    Picman

    UPDATE
    Just completed several lengthy sessions with Apple Tech Support (escalated to excellent Sr. Advisor). Bottom line is that there seems to be no answer to the problem of the Magic Trackpad not being able to maintain its pairing/connection with Windows (Vista in my case) or OS X (10.7 in my case) when switching Boot Camp partitions. In fact, when trying to re-pair it is necessary to remove the MTP batteries first. To pair at all with Windows requires the use of the Bluetooth passkey "0000" (not provided in MTP documentation). This achieves limited MTP/Windows functionality (cursor and "click" control only - with BC 3.1. BC 3.2 is supposed to provide more gestures, but I have not gotten there yet). Appears that when switching back to OS X, that passkey has remained with the MTP and is not what OS X is looking for, so it fails the connection. Removing/replacing the batteries probably dumps the passkey and allows the OS X connection. The Sr. Advisor says he sees this issue often (including with Windows 7) in their internal chat rooms, but no solution. He will be referring it to the engineers and will let me know the outcome. Meantime, assuming I keep the MTP, I'll have to resign myself to using a wired mouse when going to Windows (not a huge inconvenience, since it's only for Quicken; but the issue is worse than "in-elegant" for Apple!
    I am satisfied that I have obtained the best possible help from Apple on this issue. If anybody has more, please reply.
    Thanks,

  • Adobe Creative Cloud does not support Bootcamp by Apple IOS operating system, but does work with boot camp Win 8.1 why"

    Adobe Creative Cloud does not support APPLE latest IOS operating system, but does allow Windows 8.1 to be accepted. This seems a shame to me, as
    Apple IOS is the leader in graphics, photography. The advertising states it is usable under both APPLE IOS and Microsoft 8.1 windows operating systems. Adobe Support Chat Sooraj tells me on 02/19/2015 that i must buy two computers to have it operate on both operating systems. Adobe will not support apple's Boot CAMP allowing both operating systems.
    i love the apple product and love the ADOBE Photoshop CC, but it simply does now work with an apple keyboard and a WiN operating system. .[email protected]  Adobe Creative Cloud

    In Thehatters defence, this was initially posted in the MacbookPro forum and then moved to Boot Camp,
    If you have any joy solving your trackpad device driver issue, feel free to post here (there might be a similar fix for my  wireless adapter device)
    Thanks

    Sorry - I've now got it to work.
    I don't know how - I just went through all the settings one by one, switched them off and back on again and it now works - I have to assume it is 'user error' but I can't work out which bit
