HELP! In middle of upgrade to windows 8 and keyboard/trackpad stopped working!

Hey all, new mac user here. Just bought a new macbook air 13" 2014 model. I succedded in installing windows 7 via bootcamp via a usb drive and was in the middle of installing a downloadable windows 8 upgrade (at a preferences page when they ask you to select your favorite color) when my macbook's keyboard/trackpad stopped functioning. I plugged in a usb mouse and that would not work either. I have absolutely no clue as to what to do next. If I had to install some driver or thing please tell me how to cancel the windows 8 install and return to windows 7. Thanks for all your help strangers

I was not able to find any drivers specifically for the web cam. I did find software to use the camera, but that was all I could find.
However, I do have a question about the Windows 8 upgrade process that was used.
Did you do an in-place upgrade or a clean install of Windows 8?
Go back to device manager. Is there anything here at all in an other category indicating it is having some type of an issue?
There are certain events that will need to happen.
Go to the start screen and search for uninstall a program. Select this option in the settings category.
This should take you to the Desktop app and show the familiar uninstall a program feature from Windows 7.
Select add/remove Windows Components on the left.
Is Framework 3.5 checked here? If not, enable this and install it.
Then, install the HP framework which is needed for some HP programs. This is a Windows 7 installation, but it should go through.

Once that is finished, reboot the system.
Let me know what happens.

Hot Corners and Keyboard Shortcuts Stop Working

When disconnecting from my 27" (that I use as a docking station with keyboard and mouse), in some cases my hot corners and keyboard shortcuts stop working.
F11 does not show the desktop, Ctl-UpArrow does not show mission control. Ctr-left-right arrow does work, as i can still toggle between desktops.
I know, lots of randomness here...
A reboot fixes everything.

I've go a Windows 7 system running CS5 and when I start Photoshop all my shortcuts are working but eventually really important ones like the brush tool sizing stop working. At the moment the only non-adobe/windows app running is iTunes and that have been running the whole time, turning iTunes off does not enable the stortcuts again.
Has the only conclusion to this problem been to turn off other apps? This has been a problem for me since I upgraded to CS5 and its driving me a little mental !

Upgraded to IOS6 and streaming meye stopped working

I have cameras at my business using meye. It is now failing to connect since I upgraded software. IS there anyone that may know why the upgraded operating system would prevent me from watching my surveillance cameras? Any ideas or help would be appreciated.

Hi
This worked for me:
I called Huawei and spoke to a service agent and the person I got through to was very helpful.
I accessed the firmware update at the official site: http://consumer.huawei.com/en/support/downloads/detail/index.htm?id=31145
The agent advised me to unpack the download with WinRar on a Windows computer and then access the unpacked files on my Mac.
I had tried using a Mac rar file unpackers that I downloaded through the App Store but they did not work.
My Huawei E303 works now for me.
Thanks.

Please help! my iMac keeps freezing, mouse and keyboard do not work after

Early this morning I turned on my iMac and started downloading updates through software update as usual. I was browsing a website in Safari when all of a sudden the "zoom" feature activated itself and I could not turn it off. I restarted and the keyboard started typing different characters but not letters, so I took out my installation CD and it took me quite a while to reboot the computer using the CD as a startup. Since the keyboard had a different input, the C key was not running the CD. I tried loggin into the support page, but it downloaded the links into the desktop. I used system utilities to restart the computer from the CD, I verified the Disk Permissions, then Repaired the permisions, then the Verify Disk and then the Repair disk, in that order. I restarted the computer and everything seemed fine, but after a couple of minutes the mouse starts closing windows, downloading website links into the desktop and then the keyboard freezes and does not let me type! This has repeated over and over, and I don't know what to do!
Posting this message has been quite an achievement, because I have restarted the computer a lot of times in order to finish.
Someone please help! I don't know what else to do!!!
Thanks!

Yes. And since you aren't backed up, you may have to use Prosoft Data Rescue to try to recovery any information that is critical. First though, do you have another Mac you can hook this one up to using Target Disk Mode?
If you do, that's another way to rescue information. Target Disk Mode is explained here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58583
Similarly, if you have a bootable external hard drive, you can try to boot off that with the Startup manager:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106178
To rescue your information. This at least will allow you to do further analysis to see what data corruption might have happened. If the drive is invisible when booted off another, that may indicate a directory issue. But first let's see if we can attach or boot off another and see the internal drive of the machine.

I have Harman Kardon Soundsticks but they are connected via USB. They are recognised without any drivers - I have connected them to three Macs and they never needed drivers.
If you connect via minijack, I don't see how the Mac can recongise them other than compensate according to the impedence, but I may be wrong.
Do you get output from them when you select Line Out or Headphones from Audio System Preferences?

Upon updage, I cannot use back button on new windows that pop-up on link clink but back button is available on the browser window and google toolbar stopped working.

I just updated my firefox and would really like to uninstall the update. My google toolbar is no longer compatible and I am having other issues. When I visit a site that links me to other parts of their site via new windows, the new window i get to has back and foward buttons, but I am unable to use them. Even though I have changed pages, the back button does not go bold and I am unable to get back to any previous pages. I dont have this problem with IE using the same site. I really want to keep using firefox but the new update is making it really hard!

Mouse and keyboard both stop working

I've had my imac for about 3 years. I am currently running Mac OS X 10.6.7. In the past six months this problem started, I was using an ergonomic MS keyboard (USB) and mouse (wireless) but then I have removed both MS devices and the problem has not gone away since plugging in my apple keyboard and optical mouse. I have tried using different usb ports and the problem still occurs. The problem happens when I leave my mac unattended for 10+ mins I come back and cannot use the mouse to click or select anything* and also cannot type with the keyboard. I have tried unplugging and plugging in again to the usb ports. I listen to music on itunes and leave the mac on as a stereo then want to use it to pick another song - no it won't let me do that either (other than use the skip, pause or play buttons). *If I'm lucky the mouse will let me select the apple then select restart or shutdown - however more often than not I have to reset by the button on the back of my mac as the mouse is not responding. I don't overload the machine with a lot as I only use 3 applications (safari, itunes and sometimes outlook for mac).
What I find most interesting is that I can sit and constantly use the mac for hours on end - as long as I don't stop using the mouse or keyboard. Inactivity over 10 mins begins the issue. At the moment I can make it stay for a while by putting the machine to sleep and then waking it up but this doesn't help when I want to listen to music.
I have searched long and hard all over the net on how to fix this problem and it appears I am not alone. I am hoping someone can help me please. We have tried other apple accessories from other machines we have at home without any luck.
Hoping someone can help me.

Could you say the keyboard and mouse model, please? That could help track the problem.

It sounds like it is time to restore from the backups you made just before making the disk changes.
You can re-partition and restore your backups. If you didn't make backups first (you were warned that it might damage things and to make sure you had a good backup) then you will need to repartition everything and reinstall from scratch...

I'm not aware of any, not to say that there aren't any issues.
it may have nothing to do with ntpd, there are a lot of things running.
ntpd just happen to make the log entry at the same time as the panic.
I would check to see if there are any updates available for you system.
if this is the first time that this has happened. it may be (pick one):
cosmic rays
sun spots
the trilateral commission
if this happens more frequently and that traces look the same, then
there may be a real problem that needs to be looked into further.

If you had a paid product such as Acrobat Pro, re-download, install, and activate it with your serial number.
If you used an Acrobat.com online service, just sign in with your Adobe ID.

USB mouse and keyboard don't work on HP Pavilion g7 2203sd, Windows 8.1.

It is not possible to use a USB mouse or keyboard on the HP Pavilion g7 2203sd notebook running Windows 8.1.
A wireless mouse used to work (already some time ago), but now wired or wireless mouse and keyboard don't work any more.
I have tried removing USB devices in the Windows Device Manager and let Windows detect them again, but it does not work.
I read somewhere that it might have to do with the xHCI USB controller that is installed.
I tried removing that and connecting the USB mouse but no succes.
I also looked for driver updates or something to disbale in the BIOS (like xHCI), but nothing found for that.
Can anybody help me with this problem.
Thanks!

TS1717 iTunes 11 and Windows 7 (32 bit). iTunes crashes frequently (Windows message : "iTunes has stopped working and will be closed").

iTunes 11.0.1.12 and Windows 7 (32 bit, latest version). iTunes crashes frequently (Windows message : "iTunes has stopped working and will be closed"). I may be trying to search for an App. or book (or anything else), trying to access iTunes store, checking for updates to Apps., inputting my password, etc. etc. I have uninstalled iTunes several times, reinstalled several times, but the error persists. I tried the iTunes 10 suggested fix of running in safe mode, but iTunes again crashed when I was trying to create a new ID.
Any real help would be gratefully received. Thank you.

Still having this issue

I would like to know which app/software in MAC gives us the same feature that is provided by System Restore in Windows, and how does that work

I would like to know which app/software in MAC gives us the same feature that is provided by System Restore in Windows, and how does that work.

Time Machine is one such program, although it is a recursive backup program which offers limited archive capability, based on the capacity of the backup destination, and it requires you set it up before you start editing your files. Some programs are also Versions aware, which offers a kind of restore capability by file. Again needs to be setup before you start editing.
Just a for-your-info:
Mac is not an acronym, it is a nickname for Macintosh.
