I need help getting my Thunderbolt display to work with Windows 7 through Bootcamp.

I recently bought a thunderbolt display and it works great in my Mac environment. But I recently added Bootcamp and Windows 7 (I need since my Broker Dealer only uses Internet Explorer). Unfortunately, I can't seem to get Windows to recognize my Thunderbolt display. Today, I spent 2 hours with a very kind advisor from Apple Support but we didn't have any success.
Here's my setup:
MacBook Pro (purchased new in 2011) with i7 processor
Thunderbolt Display
Lion OS (all updates installed)
Bootcamp with Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit (all updates installed)
With the help of Apple Support, I downloaded and reinstalled (through the repair option) all the Bootcamp drivers. I shut down my computer, plugged in the Thunderbolt display, turned it on and booted into Windows 7. When the Windows Welcome screen appears, it shows on my Thunderbolt display for about 2-3 seconds. But the thunderbolt quickly goes black. My MacBook Pro changes to a 640x480 resolution and the Thunderbolt remains blacked out--with no signs of even a single flicker. Once the computer finishes the start-up, my MacBook Pro remains in a 640x480 resolution, with no option to change the resolution (it's grayed out in Windows control panel). If I unplug the Thunderbolt cable from my MacBook pro, the high resolution of my MacBook pro snaps back to normal.
To me, this seems like some type of driver problem but I must be missing something simple because it appears that Thunderbolt works with Bootcamp and Windows 7--based on some of the readings I've found here in the Apple support community. I'm most appreciative of anyone's help here.

Need help getting Adobe OnLocation CS3 to work with windows 7 64 bit. Any ideas?

Need help getting Adobe OnLocation CS3 to work with windows 7 64 bit. The program installed ok and the S/N took.
The program does record video and audio HDV M2T.
The problem is video doesn't display or play back on the monitor component @ 16:9 or 720 p. 4:3....
The scopes respond as do the audio components when recording. (with a blank monitor component).
The video does play back on my system no problem.
Any ideas?

You can't. Theoretically, Thunderbolt devices that only transfer video and audio should work with Mini DisplayPort MacBooks like yours, but it's not the case of the Thunderbolt Display. Its firmware doesn't allow it to be used with non-Thunderbolt Macs, so you can't use the Thunderbolt Display with the Mid 2010 MacBook Pro.
Instead, you have to look for another screen, or you can get an adapter and connect the MacBook Pro to a TV

Thunderbolt display not working with bootcamp and windows 7

I am running a late 2013 MBP Retina display with a Thuderbolt monitor. I am running windows 7 on a dual boot partition. I can not get my thunderbolt display to work while working in windows. The screen is currently black. I have attempted to follow the instructions in prior posts regarding this issue with no success. Is there a clear fix to get the monitor to work? Thank you

it has to be plugged into the machine before you power on the machine, it is not hot swapable like on OSX
does the screen work in OSX

Apple thunderbolt display can work with a macbook pro 2009?

Apple thunderbolt display can work with a macbook pro 2009 (mini display port? The image passes through the mini display port to the monitor, but the connections (Firewire, USB, ethernet) do not work. Can you confirm?

I'd love to get confirmation if this is the case too. I was all ready to buy the new iMac until I found I couldn't use it as an external monitor for my DisplayPort-based MacBook Pro. And then I was all ready to buy the new display.
I really hope Apple hasn't restricted this to purely Thunderbolt-equipped Macs. I know I'll end up upgrading my MacBook at some point but I can't do so just yet, and this means I'll have to go for some third-party display, camera, speakers etc for the new Mac Mini which is crazy.

How can I get my Canon A620 to work with Windows 7

Just signed up here, ot the brightest with tech stuff. I'm trying to get my Powershot A620 to work with Windows 7. I'm guessing there's drivers I need to down load ? Will they be on the Canon website or on this help site ?
I'll keep looking around.
Steve

If you need photo software and don't have any you can download Canon software here.
http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/digital_cameras/powershot_a_series/powershot_a620#Dri...
But if you already have software you use there is nothing special you need. Ether connect the camera using a USB cable or remove the SD card from the camera and use a card reader (either an external one or the computer may already have one built in.)
If you decide to connect the camera via USB you don't need a driver; its built into W7.

Getting old Laserjet printers to work with Windows 7

Hi Everyone,
For those of you, like me, that may have an old Laserjet 4, 5, or 6 I figured out how to get it to work with Windows 7!
First, new computers do not have LPTx ports. So, when you first set up your Laserjet you MUST select a USB port - this is the main problem with getting your old laserject to work on a new computer. MY computer dispalyed USB001 and USB002. Since I have another HP printer installed using USB001, I selected USB002. You will also need a Pararellel to USB adapter cable - you can buy one on Amazon (I paid just $11.87).
Next, when selecting a printer driver you MUST select HP, NOT Hewlett Packard. Scroll down until you find Laserjet 4,5, or 6. NOTE, if you don't see these models, click on the Windows update button in the dialog box. NOTE: This may take a few minutes to display the updated list. Again, select HP and scroll down the list of drivers until you find your model Laserjet (Laserjet 4, 5, or 6).
At this point you should be good. Just finish the install process and make sure to print out a test page.
Good luck !

I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial printer. You can do this at http://h30499.www3.hp.com/hpeb/
I hope this helps.

Desperately need help getting Flash music player to work correctly!

I'm working up a Flash template for a site that has a music player for 3 different tracks. The template came with 3 separate fla files for each track (Music1.fla, Music2.fla and Music3.fla), which I opened and imported my own mp3's into, set them to repeat only once, and then published the swf's. The music player works fine, but when the first song ends, the music stops unless you click on the next music track in the player. I'd like to have it where after the first song finishes it automatically starts playing the next song, then when it finishes the 3rd and final song it goes back to song one. How can I do this? Is it as easy as inserting some Actionscript into the Music fla's or would it have to be fixed in the player itself on the site's fla?
I have the site uploaded here to check out:
http://truetilldeathhq.com/main8_v7/main8_v7.html
Thanks in advance for your help, I'm really in a bind and need to get this fixed quickly!!

K, give this a shot.
All you need to do is duplicate the code on the buttons in the sound controller that load the three songs. So on the last frame of music1.fla, enter -
path="music2.swf";
loadMovieNum(path,1);
Do the same for the other music flas using the next song number. You may have to add _root. before the loadMovieNum command, so it would be:
_root.loadMovieNum(path,1);
This will only work if the mp3s are imbedded in the music flas. You will have to add a zillion frames to the timeline to see where the audio file ends, create a keyframe there and enter code on the keyframe.

Need Help Getting New iPod Classic to work on system with existing iPods

I have an iPod shuffle (for workouts) and an iPod photo 60GB which I have had for some time. I have iTunes 8.
Got a new iPod Classic 120 GB for Father's Day - I cannot get it to work with iTunes yet. Plugged it in and nothing happened. iTunes just acted normal, no setup assistant, nothing. Going to reboot and see if it does the same thing, but in the meantime I am hoping someone here can advise.
Thanks in advance,
jf

Turns out, of all things, it was the cable - seems the 'old' cable does not work with new iPods, but the newer cable that comes with Classics works with everything - cable was updated somehow, per Apple.
Thanks,
jf

Outlook (former Hotmail) Forum says I need to get a "Mail Client" that works with 10.4.11

Hello Apple Friends:
I have a PowerBook G4 still running Tiger 10.4.11.
Unfortunately, due to virus concerns and spam at work, I have had to use non-apple mail such as Hotmail for well over a decade now. Not a problem! Mac works fine. But the folks over in the "Microsoft" (delete that word after reading it) group felt their Hotmail was too old fashioned and jazzed it up and are calling it Outlook now.
And Hotmail/new Outlook no longer works like it did before on the Tiger OSX of course!
After over a month and reading dozens of Emails (about 20 which I sent myself) to various Forums and help groups, the latest "advice" is that I go searching for an "old style" "Mail client" whatever that is.... that will work with Tiger 10.4.11. And install and transfer it somehow, hopefully without losing or deleting 17 years of contacts and Email, transfer over to using it for my Outlook (I looked at some others who have the great modern Mountain Lion etc OSX systems and read their posts about this and they had significant problems using the new Outlook too.
Problem is, I deal with many very stubborn people who are just not going to spend the time and effort needed to "convert" my "hotmail" address into anything new to replace it, not even counting how many weeks of effort, missed emails messed up communications this will entail and last far into 2014 I'm sure.
The best hope is that someone knows of a "Legacy" site with older mail clients on it (or even older browsers than my Safari 4.1.3 in case someone thinks that is the problem (I also tried it with Firefox, but only can have up to 3.6.28 and TenFoxFour is not highly recommended as it creates unstable computers occassionally)
So I'm caught in the middle trying to upgrade older Mac and without the funds needed to purchase one that has Intel Chip in it for use with something higher than Leopard so I can use the Hotmail/Outlook again.
Sorry for long message, but I wanted to cover all the bases in case someone is searching the data base of the Forum in later months, and hopefully someone else here has has similiar total frustration with trying to continue using the "M--------" free Email product.
While I'm on the topic, I wondered if the .Mac was an Email client?   I had it once but long ago subscrption elapsed and got notice that it became "mobile me" or something like that....just covering all the bases since Apple has so many more choices.
Thanks for reading all of this complicated (you should only see the other Emails!) question. (sorry products and username are wrong for this message can't get the hang of editing them "before" I think of writing the message!).

Hi BDAqua:
Just catching up to your earlier suggestions so hope this is not taken as anything less than the excellent advice and fantastic support you have given me here..
I cannot use the current edition of Sea Monkey 2.17.1 as System Requirements are : 10.6 Minimum, and I have Tiger 10.4.11 max in "non-Intel" G4
Note also that reading details (I always do) I cannot just jump to that one if I could or wanted to as too old a Sea Monkey at 1.1.19. They say to upgrade to 2.0 first, then reset the "profile" page (does anyone remember my password or even what Email I used back in 2004??) before moving on to upgrade (use it at least once in new profile of course!)
So I copied them first here for anyone else's information:
System Requirements, Installation and Uninstallation
Before installing, make sure your computer meets the system requirements. SeaMonkey 2.17.1 will no longer offer to migrate your data from SeaMonkey 1.x or Mozilla 1.x at the first start after installation (bug 689437). In order to upgrade from such an old version, install the last SeaMonkey 2.0 release first, do the one-time profile upgrade, uninstall SeaMonkey 2.0 and then install your target release (e.g. this one).
You can find more details about installation, profile data and uninstallation in our install and uninstall document.
Here are the specifics of Minimum Requirements of Sea Monkey 2.17.1 version:
Mac
Operating Systems
Mac OS X 10.6 or higher
Minimum Hardware
Macintosh computer with an Intel processor
200 MB of free hard drive space
Older System Sea monkey 2.0 requirements are ::
Mac
Operating Systems
Mac OS X "Tiger" (10.4)
Mac OS X "Leopard" (10.5)
Mac OS X "Snow Leopard" (10.6)
Minimum Hardware
Macintosh computer with an Intel x86 or PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor
256 MB RAM
200 MB of free hard drive space
But..... Caution signs are EVERYWHERE not to download or use this anymore.....
(I know my 1.1.19 is really old but so old no one bothers with it anymore?? but newer ones may have huge security loophole for viruses etc....
Sea Monkey 2.0.14 Warns:
Released April 28, 2011
WARNING! The SeaMonkey version available for download from this page is outdated and suffers from known security vulnerabilities. This page is only available for historic reference.
We strongly advise you to download the current release instead.
So I'm sorry if I could not follow your instructions and get a better Sea Monkey Experience as well..... I'm just using existing one as another browser in addition to the newer ones provided as I use them for different purposes, i.e. Sea Monkey can be great for just interrupted "look ups" on google, etc of a quick definition and then closing it, so nothing complicated, no Java/Adobe Flash ads requirements, etc in and out that's all.
Then I can leave my major browsing and using Email Hotmail/Outllook which prompted this whole exploration of solutions for the two brand new browsers TenFourFox and OmniWeb..
Thanks again to everyone! I replied to everyone below in addition to this reply above to BDAqua....

Help getting my headset/mic to work with my Audigy 2 ZS I/O

Hi,
I have an Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro with the external I/O dri've. I am trying to plug my headset/mic into my external I/O dri've, however I can't get the microphone to work. I have used the headset/mic with my other computer without any problems, so I know it is working. There has got to be a problem with the I/O connections or the way I have set up the Audigy 2 ZS.
Here are the connections I have made:
Headset speaker cord: Plugged into the external I/O hub headset port --- Works great.
Mic speaker cord: Plugged into the external I/O hub Line /Mic In port --- Doesn't work.
I have tried talking to a friend using Skype as well as using the Windows XP Sound Test Wizard, neither once picks up my voice from the mic.
Thanks for the help, I am at my wits end with this thing.

Thanks,

Audigy 2 Zs do have another ASIO driver for 24-bit/96 kHz. You need to set it acti've through Sonar Options..Audio..Drivers tab (when ASIO is selected as device). Unselect all I/O drivers there and then select those 24/96 I/Os. NOTE: 24/96 mode is for line sources only so, no Mic input w/ this driver w/o external mic pre-amp through line input.
Audigy cards gives best quality w/ 96 kHz so, it's best if you use it in your projects ... you can then, after final mixdown (to 24/96 WAV file), use software like Voxengo r8brain for SRC (96 kHz ->44. kHz) and dithering (24-bit->6-bit) w/ lowest quality loss (SRC and dithering made w/ Sonar don't give as good results).
W/ ASIO 24/96, or any other than ASIO 6/48 driver, you can record from one source at once only. W/ ASIO 6/48 you should be able to record from all separately listed sources simultaenously and w/ kX drivers maybe from couple sources more.

Thunderbolt Display not working with Yosemite

Hi all,
After I have updated my mid 2012 Retina Macbook Pro from Mavericks to Yosemite my Thunderbolt Display has stopped working. It makes no difference if I connect the display before startup, or while the macbook is already powered on. It just doesn't power up. The display doesn't show up in System Report (?) while it was actually working on the Yosemite beta 2. I have reset the NVRAM / PRAM and SMC all to no avail. When I connect the thunderbolt cable and power plug the MacBook also doesn't charge.
Does anyone have a solution for this?
Thanks in advance.

By power leak issue I mean something to do with what I just found here https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5276098?tstart=0
I was wondering why my Macbook was a bit tingly to touch. I've since plugged it in with the longer 3 pin lead. No fix to my display issue.

I would like to have Internet Explorer on my 2008 iMAC, what and how is needed to install. There is a site I need to get to that will not work with Apple

Would like to know what is needed to install Internet Explorer ion my iMAC ( 2008 on OSX 10.7.3)

Try Safari > Preferences > Advanced and down the botton tick Show Develop Menu In Menu Bar. Now you will see Develop in the top menu in Safari, click on it to open the drop down window, go to User Agent and select Internet Explorer and see if this allows you to open the page. Otherwise, as Deggie said, it's up to a Windows Install on your Mac through Bootcamp or Paralells or the like to run IE within Windows.

How do i get a scanjet 5200c to work with windows 7?

I have a Scanjet 5200c that worked well with Windows XP. When I went to Windows 7, it stopped working. HP support said they did not support this machine with a driver for Windows 7. Why not? How can I get this perfectly good scanner up and running again?

BSLund, welcome to the forum.
I do not work for HP, but I have experience with driver development. Once printers/scanners get older, it becomes too difficult to continue updating the driver. There are newer printer/scanners that have to be supported. Drivers are difficult to develop and maintain. It is not as simple as going to the code and changing the model or OS version.
