How to know when Windows support files are updated? (BC 4)

I have MacBook Pro Retina w/Lion (of course), installed Win 7 Pro 64-bit, using Boot Camp procedures and files that were issued June 14. My BootCamp Assistant says it's 4.0.4.
My question is: how do I know when the Windows Support files (drivers) are updated by Apple? I would have expected an update by now, but I just went into Boot Camp Assistant on Lion, re-downloaded the drivers, and I *think* they are all dated June 14th still. (looked in WindowsSupport folder which is where it said it downloaded them)
There doesn't seem to be a reasonable way to get notified if there are new drivers or not.
My expectation was that I could run *something* either on the Windows or OS X side, and it would *tell me* that drivers needed updating, or at least say "you are running version X".
It can't be that I have to re-download the drivers and check the dates on all the files every time I'm curious if there's updates available. Can it?
The files seem to be on some mysterious Apple server and the only thing I can do to that server is ask to download the support files. No query, no "is an update available", ... ???
It's not even clear to me that the Windows Support files have a version number.

When the next revsion of OS X you can run Boot Camp Assistant again, or of course once 10.8 though might want to just sit tight, you would likely see reports in forums and elsewhere.
Apple Software Update for Windows use to but no longer.
The easiest way to see device driver version, chipset and more is with AIDA64

I have Prem. Elements 12. I am trying to add audio media. I know where the audio files are located (using GET INFO while in iTunes), and when I try to add certain audio files, some are accepted and some are not. In one case, when I opened a particular folder, the song was not listed, even tho' the song is there when using Windows Explorer. This happens with mp3 and mp4 and just wav files. Some audio are accepted, most are not. I get that codec is not installed error message, too.

Perhaps it would be helpful for you to view the page source code of this page

Windows support files - bootcamp, drivers are not working [no sound, keyboard shortcuts]

Hi guys,
I'm using the following version of Bootcamp Version 5.0.3 (464) on MBP mid 2010, wit latest OS on it. I ave installed Windows 7 through multiple errors and had to clean the whole HD after backing the files. The Windows is running fine now, however I think I havent dowloaded Windows Support Files (second tickbox) in the bootcamp assistant when installing Windows (I only ticked the third box).
And now I have tried to download the drviers from bootcamp on USB after formating it correctly, but the USB shows its empty.
I tried the following steps:
I went back into my Mac and opened up Bootcamp, reinstalled all the Windows Support Files (the top box of Bootcamp) and made sure to put them onto an external device i.e. USB/External Hard Drive etc...
I then logged back onto my partioned Windows on my Mac and updated all the Windows Support Files. After that I restarted my computer back into Windows and popped in Guild Wars 2...
But nothing seems to be working. I went to Windows Update smth, and looked for updates found quite a few of them and isntalled all of them, but noting is working - sound and keyboard shortcuts are gone and I cant downloaed the software I want.
Could you please advice on what to do with those drivers. I have been trying for days...

Hi JFFulcrum, thanks for your suggestion. I updated the BIOS earlier and still am getting the same results. Also, I decided to try another old soundcard I had laying around today, a SB PCI 512. And....same result i'm getting with the Audigy. Windows detects both cards, says they're working, but there's no sound. I'm beginning to think I should just RMA the board
if you could find anymore information about those DMA issues, please do post! I have e-mailed gigabyte 3 days ago and they still haven't gotten back to me, so i'm not really sure where to go from here, if it's some setting in the bios, some sort of driver, a bad pci slot or what. ..

i recently downloaded an album from itunes and from what it appeared, everything completely downloaded, but 5 of the songs won't completely play through when i want to listen to them. i don't know if the song files are damaged or what. what actions should i take to either repair the files or get my money back from itunes?

Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the corrupt tracks from the music section of your iTunes library, close & then reopen iTunes, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unchecked.
If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the "Report a problem" links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

Hang when downloading the windows support files.

My iMac stop dowloading the windows support files at about 20% when
i was installing Window 7 on my iMac 21".
I leave the download over night and same thing at about 20%.
I tried this over 2 nights and the same thing.
This would not have happen if LION comes with a DVD.
I think Apple is trying to discourage Mac users from using Window 7?

I had the same problem. I searched all over the internet and could not find a place to manually download the Boot Camp 4.0 Windows 7 support files.
I have now managed to get everything working by getting Apple staff to manually provide the files to me on a usb disk.
I've uploaded the files here: http://www.sekara.com/download/WindowsSupport-Bootcamp4_drivers.zip
When the zip file has finished downloading, extract all the files into a usb disk and proceed installing Windows 7 via Boot Camp 4.0 without downloading the support files.
Once Windows 7 is installed, open your usb disk (within Windows 7) and install the support files. After the support files have been installed, Windows 7 will recognise all the hardware and start working correctly.

How do i set drive to update changes only when same name files are added

I Want to set up an external drive to update changes only when same name files are dragged from desktop can any one help?

That's still a little ambiguous. What recording software are you using?
Usually the individual sound files in a music project file are included in a separate folder. For example, GarageBand normally hides these files inside a single Project file in the Finder, but you can right-click and Show Package Contents to see the individual audio files.
Any of those backup utilities I mentioned will be smart enough to copy the new and changed files within the project file. In the Terminal these .band files are actually directories, just like .app Applications in the Finder are actually directories. I think Finder may actually handle it properly also, but I'm not really sure what the Finder will do when you re-copy a GarageBand project folder to an existing backup copy and only some of the audio files have changed.

Machine doesn't boot. You experience strange crashes. Gets wrong results. Your harddrive is five or more years old. Time to consider repacing it.   You do have backup?
You may want to run these "standard" fixes if the problem persists.
1) Check the amount of free space on your harddrive. You should have a several gigs free.
2) You should run disk utility
     a) verify the disk
     b) update your permissions.
3) Try a safe boot.
    Shutdown your machine. Hold down the shift key. Poweron. Wait awhile Wait awhile while you harddrive
      is being checked.

How to run disk utility from your startup DVD.
Insert your startup DVD into your reader. Power down your machine. Hold down to the c key. Power on your machine. This will bootup your startup DVD.
This will bring you to a panel asking you for your language. Pick your language.
You you come to the Install Mac OS panel. Do not install.
Click on Utilities menu item. This will give you a pulldown list of utilities.
Click on the disk utility.
You are now in disk utility. Pick your disk. Click on repair it should be on the lower right of the panel.
Once the repair completes successfully, you should update your permissions.
Verify a disk
As an alternative, you can verify that the filesystem on the disk is correct. You will not be able to repair the file system.
I suggest that you use disk utility to verify that your startup disk is OK.

Start up disk utility. On the left pane view, you will see a list of all your disks.
Click on your startup disk.
Click on the First Aid Tab.
Click on verify.
Hopefully your disk will verify. If not, you have to boot from your installation DVD and run Disk Utility from there to attempt to repair your file-system.

How Do I create Windows Form file in VS and add the form to my VS project?

C#, How Do I create Windows Form file in VS and add the form file to my VS project by using C# code?
I like to create a Windows Form file into my VS Win Form project by using C#. I have the path and the file name.
I need a Win Form with FileName.cs, FileName.Designer.cs, FileName.resx, and FileName (as you see it VS by adding a Win Form manually by using VS)
Rune Brattas

You cannot create a Form from code at run time.
For one thing, the user running your application will, almost certainly, not have a copy of Visual Studio to hand with which to build anything. (Not that you actually need 'Studio at all; Notepad and csc.exe are all you actually
need), but that's another story).
You can do this with an awful lot of pain, using the innards of the compiler from iside your own program, compiling the new Form's source code on the fly and then executing the resulting assembly within your application. IMHO, that's a simply terrifying
prospect especially as the code you will be compiling will be on someone else's machine and over which you will have absolutely no control. If you're lucky, they'll spell something wrong and it won't compile.
The "usual" way to do this sort of thing is to create additional, "plug-in" forms as library assemblies and have your program load and execute these at run-time.

How to know when I'm doing a createInsert?

how to know when I'm doing a createInsert, this to hide a button when you run this action, I am using a task flow.
my version of jdeveloper is 12c

hi,
So you are using the createInsert as a method call in task flow. That is your form/table will be come new rows and you want to disable some button.
Your task flow might be as below
      CreateInsert---->Page.
To do so
1.) Take properties of your method call and bind the Method property to a method in a bean (bean registered in the task flow with scope view or any higher scope)
2) Call the create insert operation programmatically in that method.
3) And in that method after the createinsert ,set a boolean variable in pageFlowScope.
4)Put this variable in the disable property or visible propery of the button you wabt to hide/diable.
eg:
    public void doCreateInserOperation(){
        try {
           // Programatically invoke CreateInsert
            DCBindingContainer bindings = (DCBindingContainer)getBindingContainer();
            bindings.getOperationBinding("CreateInsert").execute();
        //Set a variable in page Flow Scope
        AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getPageFlowScope().put("disableButton", true)
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
    public BindingContainer getBindingContainer() {
        FacesContext facesContext = getFacesContext();
        Application app = facesContext.getApplication();
        ExpressionFactory elFactory = app.getExpressionFactory();
        ELContext elContext = facesContext.getELContext();
        ValueExpression valueExp = elFactory.createValueExpression(elContext, "#{bindings}", Object.class);
        return (BindingContainer)valueExp.getValue(elContext);
you can access this variable in EL expression as #{pageFlowScope.disableButton}. So when your page render it will be in CreateInsert mode and the button will be disabled/hidden.
I hope this will help you.
With regards,
Gijith.

How to know when the JComboBox popup is about to show or hide?

Hi all,
In JDK 1.4, a new addPopupMenuListener() was added to the JComboBox component. I found out I have to use JDK 1.3, but I already wrote a lot of code around this particular capability. I am trying to figure out how to duplicate it in JDK 1.3. I need to know BEFORE and AFTER the popup is displayed. OR, is there a way with JDK 1.3 that as soon as they click the combo box, it fires an event. The thing is, as soon as they click it, I want to change the background color. When they are done selecting, I can use an ActionListener or ItemListener to find out what was selected and change the color again. My killer is trying to figure out how to know when they have selected the box. I tried adding MouseListener, PropertyChangeListener, AncestorListener. None are doing a thing when the JComboBox is first selected.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you.

Hello,
There is free software you can download that gives you a graphical image of what files are used on your hard drive. http://www.derlien.com/

I can´t find windows support files for boot camp

I can´t find windows support files for boot camp

Boot Camp Assistant
If you can't download, go to Network control panel and check your settings there, look to see if there is more than one interface listed. And turn off "Auto-proxy setting" and see if that helps, it does in half the cases.
The only thing really needed would be a small Apple Software Update for Windows program to pull the drivers down while running Windows. Just that one program, which could update itself as happen with 2.0 and 2.1 version.
As it is, downloads can take 8 hrs for a tiny 620MB package. Strange. True. Been like this.
