External Monitor with Bootcamp (and Windows Vista Business)

It looks like this has been discussed quite a bit already, but as a computer neophyte I've had a hard time deciphering an answer that applies to my unique circumstance. So apologies if some of you've already been over this.
Anyway, here's my question/problem:
My second monitor (Gateway HD2250) doesn't work when I'm using Bootcamp (Windows Vista Business). I'm running a VGA cord from the Gateway monitor to a VGA adapter that's plugged in to the back of my Mac. My computer's a late '06 iMac w/ Mac OS X 10.5.5. BTW, my virtual Windows does seem to register the second monitor; it's just that nothing shows up on the Gateway screen.
Ideas for help? Thanks everyone!!

I managed to get an upgrade version of XP to run by using the internal DVD drive for the main all disc and an external DVD drive for my qualifying disc. Has to be that way round because the Apple keyboard ceases to function for a while and the required USB windows keyboard dosen't have an eject button. The whole business was very painful however, trying to get the installer restarts to select the correct drive each time.

Is Verizon going to acknowlege the problems with FIOS and Windows Vista

For months now, I have been reading the numerous problems Fios internet customers are having with Fios internet/Actiontech Router and Windows Vista and there has been no acknowledgement by Verizon of this current major issue.
I have also experienced the exact same issue for months now since I switched to Verizon FIOS internet. Previously I had Comcast HSI using my Windows Vista laptop. I had their service for over a year and I NEVER has a problem with the Windows Vista globe icon disappearing and loosing internet connection. The Globe always stayed on and never went away and I never lost connection when I had Comcast
I had Verizon FIOS installed last September with my Windows Vista computer and my wireless internet connection started to drop from day 1 and it has been a daily occurrence for over 5 months now. It has gotten so bad, I have had to hardwire my laptop to to be able to use the internet uninterrupted.
This is what daily scenario is:
When I turn on my laptop(with Windows Vista, I can initially get full internet access(with the globe on and it says "Local and internet). After about 10 minutes or less, the globe switches to "local only" and I can still get internet access. After another 5 or so minutes, a large X covers the globe and I lose internet connection entirely. The actiontech router wireless signal is no longer listed as one of the wireless networks. The only way for me to regain internet access is either to restart my laptop or reboot the actiontech router.
Numeorus posts here, over by DSL forums(Broadband Reports),Microsoft's website and a few othere websites detail this issue.
I am extremely shocked and surprised that Verizon has not tried to fix this issue by working with both the makers of the Actiontech Router as well as Microsoft to find out what the problem is and how to fix it.
I would just like to reiterate I strongly believe this is primarily a FIOS internet issue since I previously had Comcast HSI for over a year with the same Windows Vista laptop and I NEVER had that problem. Also, I can connect to my neighbors wireless connection(she uses Comcast HSI) and when I do, the globe stay on all the time on my computer and the internet does not lose connection.
I know that there are a couple of Verizon employees here. Please tell the higher ups who handle FIOS internet that this is a major issue that needs to be resolved as soon as possible.
P.S: Please don't tell me to go by my own router because then, I will have to deal with the issues of setting it up to work with Fios TV and the related VOD, widgets, remote DVR compatability issues to deal with. I don't think I can deal with the additional headaches.

FIOS is short for fiber optics. fiber optics is different technology than DSL.
With that said, if you search the Microsoft databases for vista issues with fiber optics, (CURRENTLY THERE IS ONLY ONE PROVIDER OF FIBER TO THE HOUSE, that being Verizon, so yes you can also search Vista issues with verizon and\or fios) and you will find that Microsoft already acknowledges this issue with their software. AND they offer you a fix.

Is Magic Mouse compatible with PC and Windows Vista

Hello to everyone, I'm a new member of this forum, I hope someone will help me, please.
I'm taking a look at the latest beautiful Apple's product and I felt in love with Magic Mouse, I'd like to have it for ma PC (not a Mac) with OS Vista.
Is there anyboby who knows if this mouse is compatible with a Pc and Windows Vista OS?
Actually I don't have bluetooth thecnology on my pc but if Magic Mouse were compatible I'd buy an usb adaptor.
Thanks to everyone will help e!

I asked a similar question a few hours back and no answers yet. I think nobody knows since nobody has had the chance to test them. If previous releases are any indication, you'll probably get basic functionality because it is bluetooth, but for the advanced features or setting options you'll have to wait for a Windows driver, which can sometimes take a few months or more.

ITunes 7.0.2 and Windows Vista Business

I just installed Windows Vista Business in my HP Workstation xw4100. When I try to play a song I've purchased from iTunes Store, it asks me to authorize the computer (which I expected). However, although iTunes Store tells me I've successfully authorized two computers, when I try to play the song, iTunes asks me again for authorization. These process continues again and again, without iTunes ever successfully authorizing my computer.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

This seems to be a common problem, search the forum for: vista authorize.

Webcam on 2008 Mac Pro with Bootcamp and Windows 7. Cannot get it to work.

Have windows 7 Professional on my mac, using Bootcamp
I cannot get any webcam to work.
So far, I have used ....
A Logitech QuickCam Vision Pro for Mac. No app can detect it.
A Logitech C510 Webcam (for PC) No app can detect it.
An Agama V-2025 Webcam (for both Mac & PC and supposedly no additional drivers needed). No app can detect it.
I called Logitech and they said as it was too complicated for them to support, (i.e. Windows on a mac with bootcamp) and so they couldn't help.
Any ideas would be most appreciated.
Thanks.

Use bootcamp. I have been a loyal Adobe guy for 12+ years, but now that I have upgraded to mac...Adobe just sucks. I have not been able to finish a project yet do to the shabby CS4 media encoder.

802.11n with Bootcamp and Windows xp

My 13 inch Macbook connects to my airport network at 802.11n 5GHz dual bandwidth using OSX but only 802.11g works when using bootcamp and windows. My 802.11n network shows-up on windows as an available network and I can type in my network password but it won't make the connection. Is 802.11n automatically active with bootcamp? I am able to connect at 802.11n speeds to my network using my work's Window laptop and a Linksys 802.11n usb card so I know it works.

Brightness with bootcamp and windows 8.1 on rMBP 13 2013

Hi,
I've googled for this issue and i've found many potential solves of my problem:
- Turning off adaptive brightness
- disabling Light sensor in Device Manager
- deleting SensorsAlsDriver.dll
Nothing works. I'm actually using Win 8.1 Pro N x64 with installed Media Feature Pack and with the newset updates. It is fresh-installed via bootcamp manager.
After sleeping and waking up my Mac brightness buttons magically start working!
What do I suspect?
When i delete SensorsAlsDriver.dll and uninstall Proximity sensor in Device Manager, after reboot Windows re-installs the sensor, and re-apply the .dll file.
I dont have an idea how to prevent OS from doing it...and I think it is potential solution.
Could someone help me solving this problem?

I've been experiencing this same issue. I have the exact same laptop and running windows 8.1 pro through bootcamp. Everything runs great except the brightness doesn't seem to work properly. Also the keyboard's backlight is maxed out everytime i turn it on no matter what the lighting conditions. This isn't too big of a deal as i can turn it down once its on but still a minor inconvenience. My bigger issue is that the laptop's brightness is set to a certain level when i boot up in windows 8.1 and i can't change the level of it. I've tried disabling the adaptive brightness with no fix. I read somewhere that disabling the generic PnP monitor under device manager might fix it but im worried that it will disable my laptop's screen altogether and have to redo my bootcamp partition all over again. I have the latest bootcamp drivers for apple that were updated in early feb (2014) so I know that's not the issue and i have also tried reinstalling the bootcamp drivers but it just seems to do it again after a reboot. Dont' know any other fixes. I really want to get this working, other than that, bootcamp on windows 8.1 is perfect on my 13 retina pro.

Network problems with TC and windows vista

When I try to transfer data from my laptop using Windows vista to the TC, I get an network error message after a few seconds saying the computer is not connected to the network. I have no problems transferring small files (that take less than a few seconds to transfer) and the external router, my laptop and the TC are located close to each other. I tried almost everything but i don't know what the problem is.
Any suggestions?

Hello Bastiaandp. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
There is quite a bit of dialogue going around the Internet about Windows Vista & Windows 7 when it comes to file sharing with either the Apple AirPorts or Time Capsules. Most of this dialogue seems to be revolving around the version of SMB used by the newer Microsoft OSs and that used by these routers for files sharing.
A number of suggested solutions have been proposed, but none at this time, have provided a "permanent" solution. I too have experienced this same issue and have tried a number of these solutions. What finally worked for me was to make sure that: 1) The Workgroup name used on my Win 7 computer exactly matched the Workgroup name setting on the Disks > File Sharing tab within the AirPort Utility for my base station, & 2) That this name did NOT include any spaces. In my case, I used WORKGROUP for both settings.
Since doing so over six months ago, I have had no problems copying/moving files between my PC and the AirPort, regardless of their size.

Server 2012R2 -- RDS Farm with XP and Windows Vista Clients

Hi There,
My team has been having some fun in getting our Server 2012R2 farm operational, annoyingly MS documentation is severely lacking on how to correctly configure a 2012R2 Farm correctly.
We have an RDG1-TCC server, which is the RDGateway, RDConnection Broker and RDWeb Server. We have two session host servers RDS1-TCC and RDS2-TCC.
It took us some time and much online research to figure out exactly how we needed to configure the RDS server as a lot of information online for 2012R2 was apparently incorrect(was based on 2008R2 practices). We started off with using a DNS Round Robin for
the RDS Session hosts servers and after a number of certificate issues, we later found this was incorrect. We're now using RDWeb exclusively, which appears to be the correct way to have the Connection Broker working?
We've ran into a number of issues with certificates too, we have an external certificate for remote.domain.com. Installing this on all 4 options in the certificate manager has made internally work correctly via RDWeb, however externally we are getting a
certificate mismatch as it's trying to connected to RDG1-TCC with a certificate for remote.domain.com. I'm pretty sure I can resolve this with a replacement remote.domain.com certificate that includes a SAN for *.domain.internal. Testing with a self signed
certificate seemed to resolve this issue.
Now providing i've configured everything the correct way, we have an issue where RDWEb RDP files do not work internally or externally for XP, Vista or Windows 7 (With RDP7.1). Windows 8/8.1 and Windows 7 with RDP 8/8.1 updates work perfectly fine. Unfortunately
this new client has a few XP machines that they are not willing to update just yet.
Is there a known fix/workaround to get these older clients working correctly?
Sorry for the extremely long post, but I'm sick of banging my head against the wall trying to get something that we assumed would have been fairly simple to get up and running.
Cheers,
Ben

Thanks for the assistance so fat, now I have all clients connecting, I need to tackle the certificate issues.
The UC SAN certificate is going to cost much more than the current certificate, currently that idea is on the back burner as the client does not wish to pay a few hundred extra.
To quickly sum things up:
AD DNS(internal DNS) override in place for remote.domain.com.au pointing it to the internal IP of the gateway/connection broker/RDWeb server.
Connecting Internally its working perfectly fine under all circumstances (I'm guessing this is because of Kerberos Auth)
When users connect externally via RDWeb they get a certificate missmatch as the cert is for remote.domain.com.au and the server is RDG1-TCC.domain.com.net
When users connect externally via MSTSC using the Gateway option, they get a certificate missmatch as per the above, however they also receive a second "certificate is not trusted" error for whatever RDS server they hit.
I have tried the below previously and they broke other things:
"Change published FQDN for Server 2012 or 2012 R2 RDS Deployment."
This resolved the external certificate issue. However then internal connections stopped working. When connecting via RDWeb, you would get asked for credentials instantly and no matter what you entered, it just asked for credentials again.
There did not seem to be ANY event logs for this connection.
"Changing RDP-Tcp listener on RDSH to use external certificate."
I can't recall the exact error we had when we did this, but I know we had to roll back the change. I have a feeling we then started getting certificate missmatch errors on the Session Hosts.
I'm half thinking that when the farm is free(Currently being used for application UAT), I'm going to try and reconfigure the RDP-Tcp listener on the RDSH servers again and see if that resolves one or more of our issues.
Do you have any suggestions on how I can use the correct published FQDN name without breaking internal access? Or any other ideas on getting this entire thing working both internally and externally?
Also, Dharmesh, I've tried clearing out the certificate cache as suggested, but to no avail.

Nokia PC suite and Windows Vista business

Has anybody tried installing PC suite on Vista business. One of my friend claims he is unable to sync his E90 with his laptop.
Here's what he mailed me
"• The installation gets completed and does not get completed at the last stage when there is a message that installation is completed successfully .
• after pressing OK button next window pops up as follow.
• welcome to get connected wizard which says please have your mobile phone and connectivity accessories at hand and click next , after conecting phone suddenly a message comes up saying that thereis no available connection type therefore the connection to the phone can not be established. the wizard will exit , I have to press okay as thereis no other button available, once I press okay the whole window disappears ."

I was able to fix my problem by completely uninstalling PC Suite and artifacts of its install using the PC Suite Cleaner app (Extras in the software section)
To Nokia:
It appears that when i chose to 'never show this window again' when the Get Connected wizard first starts up, that in subsequent attempts to Get Connected, some mission-critical initialization and discovery failed to occur.
I'd surmise that this was a registry key change, but as a user I should be able to un-do this action, to be able to see this Wizard start-up page again.

Problems with iTunes and Windows Vista

I just got a new dell computer that came with Windows Vista. I'm new to Vista, and just downloaded iTunes. I was able to add my music and it will play, but I can't edit track information. I downloaded iTunes from the administrator account, so I don't know what the problem is or how to fix it. Please help!!

For windows vista, like someone suggested, it may change your permission for editing a file and appear grey screen. As such, the following step might solve this problem.
Go to "Computer", go to your portable hard drive, right click and go to "Properties". Select "Security" Under the "group and user names" choose your user name. To change the permission, choose "Edit" Under permission column, choose "Full Control". After this you may able to edit song information in your itunes.

Burning issues with itunes and Windows Vista Ultimate

I recently purchased a new computer with Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit version. Since loading itunes on my new computer I can not burn a CD. The message that I receive says that there is no burner available. I know the burner works because I have burned music out of different software programs. I have loaded and reloaded Nero 7 but I am finding that is not the problem. Itunes does not recognize any type of CD burner on my computer. Any thoughts?
Thanks

paul's onto it.
if you run your DVD/CD diagnostics (in itunes "help > DVD/CD diagnostics", select DVD/CD diagnostics) and you see a 2380 error showing up down near the bottom of the diagnostics (you may need to scroll down a bit), try reinstalling the 64-bit version of the GEAR drivers iTunes uses for importing and burning.
here's a link through to the GEAR drivers. note that there are two different versions of the 64-bit drivers. be sure to get the one that matches your hardware:

Problem with bootcamp and windows xp disc

Hi! I've been using mac for about 3-4 years now and I am fairly acquainted with my Macbook pro.
My problems surfaced 2 days ago when a friend of mine opened it up and changed the harddrive to this: http://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/seagate_momentus_500gb/
My friend then did a clean install of OS X Snowleopard (not with the OS X-disc that came with my MBP) and all seemed to work fine.
But the problem is that my MBP don't seem to recognize or can't read Windows-installation DVD's. I insert the disc, the MBP reads the disc 2-3 times and then just spits it out. I have tried this with two diffrent Windows XP SP2 discs and one Windows 7 home disc with the same result.
Sometimes though (completely random) it seems to recognize the Windows disc and I can start the Windows installation via bootcamp, but halfway through the installation the disc still ejects.
The funny thing is that I ONLY have this problem with Windows-discs. OS X-discs, media-DVD's and unwritten CD's is no problem at all.
And I have repeatedly "repaired" and "reinstalled" OS X with both the snow leopard-disc and the OS X-discs that came with my MBP but I still get the same result. I have also tried SMC-resetting and doing a "safe start" but it still doesn't work.
So... Halp? :3

Burning cds with itunes and Windows Vista

It seems like my problems with itunes are never ending on my HP laptop with Windows Vista. Originally, itunes screwed up my disc drive, but then I downloaded the 64 bit version of it and that turned out ok. However, whenever I started itunes it says it wasn't downloaded properly and I won't be able to import or burn cds. I've downloaded it before multiple times to see if that message would go away when I started it up, but it didn't. That was fine for a while because I never burn cds but today I wanted to and it wouldn't work. It would say Disc Recording not found. So, I thought I should upgrade to the new itunes 8.1 but I was afraid to because it might screw up the disc drive again. And of course, it did. I even downloaded the 64 bit version. So I guess my question is, how can I install the 64 bit version without that error message and be able to burn cds?

paul's onto it.
if you run your DVD/CD diagnostics (in itunes "help > DVD/CD diagnostics", select DVD/CD diagnostics) and you see a 2380 error showing up down near the bottom of the diagnostics (you may need to scroll down a bit), try reinstalling the 64-bit version of the GEAR drivers iTunes uses for importing and burning.

Screen print imac with bootcamp and windows 7 64 bit

I have a new 27" Imac i7. I have boot camp installed and windows 7 64 bit. I have auto-cad installed for college. There are several assignments that require a screen print to turn in. I have not been able to figure this out. I have been using the snipping tool, but in certain instances i need a menu drop down included in the screen print. With the snipping tool the menu goes away. I have looked for some ways to do a screen print while in windows, and have been unsuccessful. I have a wireless apple keyboard, the shorter one. The F keys are enabled to be used as the real F keys without using the fn key on the windows side. So when i hit F10 for example it is the real F10 function. Does anyone have any ideas?

I can get those keys to work if i make the keyboard use the shortcut keys that are listed on the top. For example, if i want to use the f10-f12 keys to control the volume without having to hit the fn key. If i set the keyboard up that way that key combo will work. But if i set up the keyboard to use the f keys really be f keys without hitting the fn key, it will not work. Would you know how to get it like that? I have tried just leaving the fn key out of that combo and it will not work.
