Having problem in Windows 7 for my MacBook.

Hi,
I have install Windows 7 RC in my MacBook.
But I having few problems.
1. Everytime when I switch from 1 OS to another OS, the date time changed.
For example, I set the MacOS date time to 09/June/2009 14:00. If I go to Windows 7 and restart back to MacOS, the date time changed to 09/June/2009 06:00. Same thing happened for the Windows 7.
I have set the Time Zone to Kuala Lumpur for both OS, but still having same problem.
2. After install Windows 7, a new shortcut created in MacOS desktop which is name "Untitled". This is the Windows 7 partition. Can I change the name to "Windows 7"??
3. Eject button is not working in Windows 7 even I have install the Apple Keyboard.
4. Cannot use right-click on TrackPad even I have install the drivers.
I really hope to solve this problem ASAP as I might take this laptop with me to India for biz trip soon.
Thank You.

Like others have said you need to run the bootcamp installer to install the drivers.
The time issue was a constant annoyance rebooting with OSX and my old XP bootcamp setup but it's gone with Windows 7 once you set your time to UTC format in the date and time properties instead of local time which OSX uses and XP couldn't support.

Having problems installing Windows 7 on my Macbook Pro w/Boot Camp

Having a problem installing Windows 7 Home Premium (64-Bit) on my Macbook Pro (mid-2010) 13". I use the Boot Camp Assistant, download the necessary drivers and burn them to a disc. I insert my legit Windows 7 install disc, and the process begins but once I get to 'Completing installation', my mac freezes and I have to restart it and delete the partition. This has happened twice. I have contacted Apple and Microsoft and neither of them said that they could help me with the problem so if someone has had a similar issue and found a solution to it, I would really appreciate the help.

Hi S,
You may want to post in the Boot Camp forum where more of those experts hang out: https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp

Is anyone having problems downlaoding new update for window

Is anyone having problems downlaoding new update for window

You ought to be very pleased with that MacBook. 16 GB memory and a 512 GB SSD is a very robust configuration that should serve you well for many years.
Mavericks runs extremely well on a MacBook Pro with a quarter that amount of memory.
Since Mavericks is free it doesn't really matter if it or Mountain Lion is installed when you buy it. You really should purchase Macs from the Apple Store since they won't be any cheaper anywhere else, and that is the only way to buy one with absolute assurance it has not been misused or improperly stored.
You can order a Mac configured with custom options on a Sunday evening and it can be on your desk that Wednesday morning. Shipping is free.
I have no idea why anyone would by a Mac from anyone other than Apple, but they do. Complaints from those who buy Macs from "big box" resellers appear on this site in disproportionate numbers, for reasons that are not clear.

Problems installing windows on new retina macbook pro

Hi i am having problems installing windows on the latest retina macbook pro, I end up getting an error , cant install windows on this GPT partition style. I have tried booting into windows , and EFI, but it all ends up with the same error. Please HELP.

Did you use Boot Camp Assistant to partition the drive? If you want both Windows and Mac OS X on your Mac that is what you have to do.
If you only want Windows then you can install it by itself but you have to delete all partitions on the drive and format it NTSF from inside the Windows installer or a third party Disk Management/Partitioning/Formatting program.

can i install windows 7 for 13" macbook pro ? I got that in august 2012.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You can install Windows 7 on your computer without any problem. First, determine if you need Boot Camp or a virtual machine > https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3321
If you need Boot Camp, get a Windows 7 retail DVD, open Boot Camp Assistant and follow the steps to install Windows. If you want all the steps to install it, you can print this PDF file > http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.7.pdf. Windows 8 support will come with a OS X update.
If you need a virtual machine, you can use Parallels, VMware Fusion or VirtualBox. All of them are paid except VirtualBox, and they work well with Windows

Problem install windows on mid 2010 MacBook Pro 13 with 10.9.1

I run into problem install windows on mid 2010 MacBook Pro 13 with 10.9.1. Boot Camp Assistant shows error "Can't install the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server.". So what is the problem and how can I work around it? I also tried to only chose "Install Windows 7" option, but it could not recognize my windows dvd (which I created from ISO). Any help is appreciated.

WINDOWS XP FOR MY MACBOOK PRO???

This might be a little of topic, but where can I buy Windows xp for my macbook Pro for the cheapest possible price. Also what is the procerdure of installing it, and what exact version of windows should I get? I need to run Acid Pro desperately.
Thanks

Thanks.
I figured everything out except where to find the
cheapest possible price for windows. Any
suggestions?
Yes - Newegg. Not only can you buy the OEM version of XP very cheap, you can get the Multilingual version of XP for only a few dollars more. As far as I know, you (a non-enterprise customer) can't buy the Multilingual version of XP anywhere else for any price. This was a big issue for me because I upgraded my NT to XP only to find out I lost the ability to run in French. I wish I had know about Newegg then. The OEM was cheaper than the upgrade.

Try temporarily disabling your firewall and anti virus software and try again...

Help me please.

On January 13, Microsoft ends support for the Windows 7 Service Pack (SP) 1. No need to panic. That does not mean your computer with Windows 7 is going to automatically break or stop working. Though the
Extended Support for Microsoft product with free security update is not ending until Jan 14, 2020 comes.

Are you having problems with Windows XP Pro and Airport Utility Updates?

I was having problems with my wireless laptop setting up my Bonjour Printer. I checked to make sure I had downloaded the latest updates to Airport Utility and Bonjour. Check. After doing this I noticed I couldn't see my Airport Extreme through the Airport Utility. After much frustration and bringing my entire network crashing down around me, I got help from a knowledgeable guy from Cox Cable in San Diego. He helped me get my trusty iMac Power PC online. It saw my Airport Extreme but no answers were forthcoming in any forums about my XP issues. Here is what finally solved my problem. I uninstalled all Airport Utility and Bonjour Programs. I then went back to Airport Utility 5.3.1 for Windows. It installs Bonjour Printer services with this download. Everything is working perfectly again. I have my Canon Pixma MP500 connected to the USB port on my AEBS and Bonjour walked right through the setup process. I suggest that if this works for you, turn off all Airport Utility and AEBS firmware updates until you see that whatever issue Apple created with these updates gets fixed.

Well... it worked! :D
I'm pretty sure the extra 512 memory stick was the problem, that would explain why it was being inconsistent with its type of failures before. I'm going to reinstall it later and run memtest86 and try and see if i can get it to work at all somehow without causing problems, cuz 1.5 was already low enough...
DryHeat, yeah it was with SP2 but I got it installed now so no worries
Thanks a lot!

I am having trouble with sleep mode for my macbook pro

My Macbook pro 13" is getting old, about late 2009.
Sorry if language confusing you.
Ok, Normally when you are turn your screen down osx will automatically get into sleep mode and when you open the screen it will be back as usual.
Lately since 2-3 months ago til now I am having problem with that, when I am turn my screen down everything is fine I mean no horrible noise or anything that warn you like this mac is having problem and turn to sleep mode as usual BUT when I am turn it back on my monitor screen is blank, black screen for awhile I mean not less than 5 minutes also no respond to anything then my mac will auto restart and show up the dialog "This mac has restarted because unexpected problem blah blah blah" something like that. Sometimes I can't wait that long so I hold down the turn off button then turn my mac on again.
Not everytime this problem show up just it seems this problem start show up more frequently.

Ok I got the answer from google, just resetting PRAM or something and now everything is fine.

Just purchased Wndows Vista and having problems with the port for Palm 125

I just purchased a Windows Vista computer and having problems with getting my Palm 125 to sync with the desktop. I get an error message saying: "Com1 not available" What do I do?
Thanks,
Frustrated

Sorry, that didn't work. I get no drop down menu from the Hot Sync Manager for the Serial Port. What comes up often is: "The selected port, COM1, is not available at this time. Hot Sync Manager will open the port when it becomes available."
Could it be the Norton Antivirus Firewall that is preventing the Hot Sync Manager to open the Serial Port? Just a thought. Thanks for your help.

Having problem with extra DDR2 for P45 Neo2

Having problem with adding more DDR2 to my P45 Neo2. I currently have 2x hyperx 2gb ram installed, but I would like to take it up to 8gb. I had purchased another set, installed and pc wouldn't load. I installed these into another pc and they worked fine. What am I missing? I have tried googling but cannot find the solution to my question.According to MSI it will take DDR2 800/1066/1200. It does not mention what module name it takes eg pc 5300, which I'm quite sure are the ones installed. I have just updated the bios to the most recent should this help?

Guessing you have all RAM related settings as "auto"?
Does the PC work with your new set only?
You may need to set the RAM timings&voltage manually in BIOS to common factors
that are valid for both your new and old RAM kits.
These settings you will do with your old kit in place, save in BIOS, exit and power down.
Insert the new kit in addition, see if it POSTS. May take a few tests to succeed.
CPU-Z program can help to figure some of the parameters.
