How do I install sound drivers on the PC side of my MacBook pro

My son used bootcamp to create a PC side of our MacBook Pro. However, now there is no sound. I asked about it on a previous post, and was told to install the drivers from the installation discs. However, neither of us knows how to access the discs from the PC side. I could use some step-by-step instructions.
AND, another issue: I tried to download a massive (3.2GB) program (for a school course) and was unable to do so on the PC side because of corruption (SLLLOOOOWWW download speed). So I downloaded it on my eMac and transferred it to the PC side of the PowerBook via flash drive. I was able to install it, no problem (or so I believe), but then I couldn't open the program. The only desktop icon was the Install package (.dmg). I went in to the 'programs' section (of the PC) and tried to select it there, but again there was no icon to open it. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Hi again Bob,
When I went to that link about Bootcamp, it didn't tell me how to do the thing I really need to do. I can boot up into windows (hold down alt. key while restarting, right). But how do I ask Windows to find the right drivers? As you can see, I'm clueless on this. I need a step-by-step set of directions. Do you know of any post that has them? And if I have to "manually go to the device site", I assume that that means that the drivers don't exist on the Mac install disks. What device site would I go to?
About the PC program, I may not have been clear enough. The program I downloaded was not in Mac format. I didn't try to open it or run it on the Mac. I just spoke to the people who make the program and they say that, yes, it is possible to do what I did; the problem has to do with serial #'s of some sort. I'll let you know how it turns out.
TIA
Fred J.

How do i install a free osx or operating system on my macbook pro 2008?

Hey so the go is i have a macbook pro 2008 i love it too bits but for some reason my screen flickers all the time but ill just have to deal with it. Secondly i cant install any operating systems because i dont have a mac to download osx from or mountain lion. And when i go to download it directly from my macbook pro it says i need to buy it :/ or i dont have the licence i cant remember but i just want it working whoever can help me i would much appreciate!! thankyou for reading this and also ps my screen when im on the net on it in the safari osx menu it intermittly spazzes and all the url bars keep clicking etc i dont know what the problem is but i would appreciate some advice or help! it is a good machiene quiet no damage looked after just got it given to me from a family member but i have had no luck so far

Jamesandmacbooks,
if by “free” you mean “gratis” (as opposed to, say, “open source”), then there’s only one version of OS X to date that’s gratis, namely Mavericks. You can only download Mavericks if you currently have Mac OS X 10.6.6 or later installed. If you’re still running Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5.something) on your 2008 MacBook Pro, then you’ll need to first purchase the white retail Snow Leopard DVD, install it on your MacBook Pro, and run Software Update to get it to 10.6.8, after which you can download Mavericks gratis from the Mac App Store and install that. Be sure that your MacBook Pro meets all of Mavericks’ system requirements before trying to install it. If you currently run any PowerPC apps, note that they won’t be supported in any version of OS X after Snow Leopard.

How much does it cost to replace the late 2013 model Retina Macbook Pro battery?

The page on Apple's website isn't very clear: www.apple.com/batteries/replacements.html
I just bought my first Mac computer ever and I'm loving it -- and the battery life is phenomenal. I'm just worried that in a year it'll be half of what it is now which would not be unlike any other non-Mac laptop, but I really like the battery life this Mac gives.
So I'm wondering, at that point, how much would it cost to have the battery replaced? Does AppleCare include a battery replacement? I know that it's not exactly something I want to replace myself, so how much would it cost to have the Apple Store replace it, if not?

Thanks for the response. I'm worried partially about voiding the warranty if I remove it, and iFixIt's teardown of the latest 2013 Retina model suggests that it may be quite difficult to do without breaking other components...
If they wouldn't do it for free, is $129 the price of a battery, or the price of battery and replacement?

How do I delete an album and the photos from iphoto on macbook pro

I have set up several photo albums on my macbook pro while expereimenting with macro. The experiments are completed and I want to delete several entire albuns, including the name and all the photos within the album. How do I that? Thanks in advance.

Deleting Photos from an iPhoto Library
1 - from an Event or the Photos mode: select the photo(s) and use the Delete key to move the photos to the trash bin. Then empty the iPhoto Trash bin as follows:
2 - from an album, smart album, book, slideshow, card, etc.: select the photo(s) and use the key combination of Command+Option+Delete to move the photos to the trash bin. Then empty the trash bin as above.
NOTE: deleting a photo from an album, slideshow, book, etc., with only the Delete key only deletes that photo from that item. Deleting a photo from an Event deletes ALL occurences of that photo in the library.

Why is the right side of my MacBook Pro screen distorted?

I've had my MacBook Pro for 4.5 years and have really had little trouble with it. A little over a year ago, however, someone in my family dropped something on the laptop when it was closed and broke the screen. One trip to the Genius Bar later and we now had a new screen, one that has again given us little to no trouble whatsoever since then.
However, as of a week or so ago the right side of the screen has become distorted. At first, it was a minor annoyance, as it’s only about an inch wide and would come and go at random. Plus, if I applied some pressure to the screen where the distortion appeared, it would go away. Unfortunately, it would inevitably re-appear a short while later, usually if I lightly bumped the laptop or moved it a bit.
Now it’s there all the time. I’ll open the laptop to use it and, after a minute or so, it’ll appear. Now the only way to make it go away is if I close the laptop. I can still use the computer, but the distorted column makes it hard to concentrate, plus I don’t know if it’s wrecking the screen any further. It’s hard to use various programs such as iMovie, as I’ll have to move them around so the distorted area isn’t covering any of my work.
What could have caused this? I installed any and all updates the other day, so everything’s up to date on there. I always keep it out of harm’s way, especially ever since our incident last year. When it’s not being used, it’s always on a soft surface, always under a bed, couch or some other area where our two-year old and cats can’t get to it. I also never keep it anywhere other than our family room or bedroom, where the room temperature is never too hot or cold. Trust me, nothing else has fallen on it since the new screen was purchased last year.
Are there any possible remedies to this? Or is it back to the Genius Bar again? I’m reluctant to try and take it apart at all, but if that’s my only option and there’s an easy method that won’t harm the computer, I suppose I could give it a shot. Or if there’s some video card setting I need to adjust I’m all for hearing about it.

It fixed it self when i picked up to use it this morning. Thanks for the tip I'll try that when all else fails.
If anyone else would like to tell me what they have done to fix this problem I would take any other advice as well.
Thanks, Ashka!

How do I get sound out of my tv and not my macbook pro when I am streaming?

I don't know how to get the sound, when I am streaming, to come out of my tv rather than my macbook.
Thanks.

You should certainly get the sound coming from your TV if you are streaming there from your Mac. Can we assume you are streaming via iTunes?
Which versions of the following are you using --
MacOS
iTunes
Apple TV
Was this previously working and now is not? If so, what has changed since it was working?

How do I install 3Q portable HDD External U275-BS on my MacBook Pro 10.7.2

HI there - I just bought a 3Q portable HDD External U275-BS in Russia and it won't let me copy to it. Any suggestions? Thanks! Lorrain

Most likely the drive is formatted in Windows NTFS, which Macs don't normally write to (only read) without extra software. You should be able to reformat the drive with Disk Utility. If you only use it on the Mac, reformat it in Mac OS GUID.

How do i install microsoft office? i put it in my macbook pro but it didnt start automatically.

please answer. kinda desperate because i need it for college.

Seems to me that posting your question on Microsoft's own forums for Mac Office would be a good idea. After all, it's their software you're having issues with.

How can I install gutenprint drivers for my Epson Stylus Color 440?

Good day all!
I have and old and useful printer -Epson Stylus Color 440- and just bougth a cable for connecting it to USB port. Add a new print on its Print and Scan Preference Panel and it was recognized inmediatly, but I was told there was not any driver to that printer.
Tried to set "Epson Stylus Color Series" on its driver but when I went to print, printer seemed to work but does not eject any ink. It seemed as if I were ran out of ink; its car moved over the places occupied by the photo and sounded as normal printing, but not a drop of ink. I checked on an older windows pc, and ink is full, printed normally. I also looked for its drivers on Epson pages, but it seems there are only available for previos Mac OSs, not for X.
A son told me that in his Snow Leopard MacBook White there's a dirver called "Epson Stylus Color 440 gutenprint" on his Print and Scan Driver Menu; haven't tried to print from his MacBook yet, and as I searched, those are open drivers.
I wonder if I can download and install that "Epson Stylus Color 440 gutenprint" from the web, of if there's a way to copy it from my son's Macbook, when he comes and check.
Thanks in advance for your help.

It sounds like maybe you installed a trial at some point in the past and trashed the application folder rather than doing an uninstall?
Have you tried the cleaner tool:

How can you cancel sounds registered during the lessons?

In applications, drag the install OSX 10.10.1 to trash. The download will not install unless you tell it to. You can download it without it installing, so trash it if you have decided you don't want it or simply don't tell it to install.

How do I instal Omron blood pressure monitor soft wear on my Mac pro when the soft wear supplied only refers to Windows

How do I instal a Omron blood pressure monitor on to my Mac Pro.It came with an installation softwear that is only compatable with Windows.I have contacted Omron and they inform me that it should be possible using Bootcamp.How do I do this.I am using Lion OX.

Basically, the software Omrom uses is made by Microsoft and will only run on Microsoft Windows. There are two ways to run it on your Mac Pro, both require a copy of Microsoft Windows. Option one is to use Boot Camp, which sets aside a section of your hard drive to use for an installation of Windows. Once installed, you can then boot to Windows rather then OS X. The other option is to use something like VMWare Fusion to run Windows on top of OS X. A quick Google search has confirmed that the Omrom software has no issues running in VMWare.
In my opinion, VMWare is a simpler option. But it does require purchasing the VMWare Fusion software as well as a copy of Windows (I think they sell a bundled version of VMWare that includes Windows).
