I can't install my drivers from my external hardrive as windows wont recognise it.. how do i get back to my OS X Lion operating system?
I installed windows 7 on my MacBook Pro 13 inch fine and then when it came to install the bootcamp drivers from my external hardrive windows 7 doesnt recognise it in any way. So im stuck on windows 7 any ideas?
Some people don't even know there is a Set Default OS startup disk control panel as part of System Preferences.
With Lion and no DVD any more there is however a new Lion Recovery Mode and boot partition you want to get familiar with
Lion Recovery Mode
Lion Recovery Disk Assistant
Boot Camp 4.0, OS X Lion Frequently asked questions
http://www.apple.com/support/lion - change the last part to most any product name etc to find the support back, like "bootcamp" also.
Or Bing for instance: Apple startup key commands

I can not install app's from the app store on my phone,and when i try, i get a message tells me (cannot connect to itunes store) that happened after i updated it to "IOS6" . it's a "IPhone4 S"
Remember, any purchased item from the itunes store is forever associated with the Apple ID used to buy it. So when you get prompted for an ID/password and it doesn't accept it, then you are using the wrong ID.
Go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores, be sure it's logged into the ID you have set on the iphone (since that one seems to be connecting with the right ID). If you've done this, then you might wait a bit to see if the "cannot connect to .. store" message has to do with internet connections. -
When I try to install "AppleMultiTouchTrackPadInstaller64.exe" (Apple Multitouch (09/04/2013 5.0.20) and Apple Multitouch Mouse (09/11/2012 4.0.3.0)) on Windows 8.1 I get an install failed. As a result of this, I can't use right click (does not even work with a two finger click) or scrolling.
Note: I have a macbook pro retina 15 inch from late 2013. I used Bootcamp to install windows 8.1@BobTheFisherman: "After installing Windows run the support software you downloaded and saved to your usb thumb drive. The support software contains the correct drivers for your computer's hardware including the trackpad etc." Have you even read the question details? I already tried to install to drivers support software from "\BootCamp\Drivers\" I even tried to download the latest drivers from the Apple website: Boot Camp Support Software 5.1.5621
But I get the "Install failed" error.
@Loner T: They don't have seem to have a different driver for Windows 8.1 See the description "Windows Support Software (Windows Drivers) you need to support 64 bit versions of Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1 on your Mac." -

My iPad has been 'upgrading' for the last 12hrs.That is, after I had downloaded the new version of iCloud, and pressed 'Install' without entering my password. It is probably searching for it. How do I go back to the window that will allow me to enter my password. I have tried switching off the device, but each time the 'upgrading' comes on. I have also switched it off and left it on the charger for at least 6 hrs.

Can't Install Boot Camp from Snow Leopard DVD in Windows 7
I have an iMac "Core 2 Duo" 3.06 24-inc (08) running 10.6.2 and Windows 7.
I was able to successfully use the Boot Camp Assistant to partition and install Windows 7 on my iMac. After the installation, I was able to download updates from Windows Updates which included video drivers.
However, when I inserted my Snow Leopard DVD to install Boot Camp 3.0, the Setup.exe only gave me two options: To Install Mac OS X remotely and to install CD/DVD Sharing. I was not presented any options to install Boot Camp.
I did manually navigate the Snow Leopard DVD and found a Boot Camp directory with its own setup.exe and when I clicked on it, it gave me an Installation Error stating "Boot Camp x64 is unsupported on this computer model". I did some research and I found no mention of my iMac listed as an unsupported model.
Any help would be appreciated.When I inserted Snow Leopard DVD, the autorun didn't show me an option to install Boot Camp Drivers. Just like the author of this topic, it only showed me 2 options: to Install Mac OS X remotely and to install CD/DVD Sharing.
Then, I've run Windows Explorer, navigated to Snow Leopard DVD, opened Boot Camp folder and runned "setup.exe". The installer opened and Boot Camp 3.0 was installed successfully.
I don't know if it could help you guys with that error message, but after the installation of Windows 7 64bits, I've rebooted my Macbook Pro. Only after the reboot I did the Boot Camp Drivers installation.
You can also try to run the "setup.exe" as Administrator (right-click, Run as administrator).
Also, my Snow Leopard DVD is that grey one with the white "Mac OS X Install DVD" labelled on it. -
Can I install a program on an external disk via Windows under Boot Camp?
Simple question.
Will i be able to install Flight Sim X onto a FAT32 Formatted USB Hard Drive and be able to run it from the drive?Hi Ryan,
this should be possible.
Just make sure that the external HD is fully accessable when running BootCamp Windows and during installation point the destination folder in which FlightX should be installed to the external HD.
Most definitely there will still be some files that the installer of FlightX must install into the Windows System Folder, so some free space should be on the internal Windows partition.

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

This question was solved.
View Solution.Hi,
Nearly all hardware vendors won't release drivers for Windows 10 until Windows 10 is officially released (not preview). Windows 10 should install drivers for your machine after few updates. Windows 10 can find all drivers (except one: finger print) for my 5 years old machine. It should be able to find drivers for newer machines).
Regards.

Hold down the Option key while you boot your Mac. Then, it should show you a selection of devices. Click your flash drive and it will boot from that.

Can I install iDVD (only) from an iLife 11 CD on a new (late 2011) on-line MacBook Pro/Lion purchase that no longer included it?
Purchasing iLife 11 on disk is an easy thing to do. ILife 11 will include iDVD.
If you have iDVD on another Macintosh you can transfer it to your new computer. That procedure has been discussed here many times, if you do a search you will find that procedure. -
