IMac with windows 7 issue

Hello
I am setting up an iMac with win7 and it came with magic mouse and wireless keyboard. But for some reason I cant connect the magic mouse and the keyboard to the iMac when is using windows. Also other people facing this issue. Anyone know the solution?
Thank you

And you burned the drivers disk and used it to install the drivers in your Windows partition?
Just an idea for you. There is an entire Apple Discussion forum dedicated to Boot Camp and Windows.
Whereas, not everyone here with an Intel iMac has installed, tried to install or has experience with BC & Windows, everyone there has or at least has an interest. You may attract help more quickly there.
The Forums are at the bottom of the main Apple Discussions page under Windows Compatible Technology. Here is a link;

    If you don't want Boot Camp and you don't want a virtual machine, go buy a Windows computer.
    Both Boot Camped Windows and Windows running in a virtual machine work well. Your issues are because of your lack of knowledge or understanding, not because Boot Camp and virtual machines are poor products. Universities, large and small businesses, home users, etc. use virtual machines to run their operating systems.
    Your statements about Boot Camp and Parallels are not the experience of thousands of users.
    Either find someone who is knowledgeable about running Windows on Apple computers to help you or buy a Windows computer. Believe me, if you find a way to install only Windows on your Apple computer without using Boot Camp or a virtual machine you will have more problems than what you have already experienced.

  • No sound on imac with windows 7 running boot camp

    Just to elaborate further; if the Windows OS has been previously installed, go to the bootcamp assistant in OSX (found in applications/utilities). There you will have the option to burn a disk or  download the needed drivers to a USB flash drive. After getting the necessary files downloaded/burned proceed and start your Windows partition, run the installer from the disc. This should solve the problem.
    Did you mean to reply to the poster who has the problem?

  • Can Anyone Help? Upgrade with Windows Issue

    I bought my daughter a Ipod nano for Christmas this past year (2005). Everything worked great until the new 6.0 upgrade. We downloaded the upgrade last week and it was completed successfully. Yet when I go to my desktop and try to go to the site I get nothing at all. I can't even access the itunes site. Can't even access it through apple.com. I get the download message. I spent hours on the phone with apple trying to figure out the problem. Uninstalled and reinstalled the whole thing several times. Even went back to my original CD that came with the ipod and still get message that I need to upgrade. I was told
    ( by an apple rep) I have to do a msconfig start up on my computer for the upgrade to work on Windows. Upon doing that I can access my library but access to store is denied. I called apple again and was told they have no idea what is going on but it has to do with the upgrade and windows. I was basically told I may want to consider selling my Ipod, by a apple tech. Is anyone else having this problem. I just want to know how to get the upgrade using windows xp and be able to use it without having to msconfig start and then still not be able to access anything.
    I have tried everything, from shutting down my firewall, anitvirus to rebooting my computer back to before I ever put Itunes in it since I was unable to un-install it with the add/remove on my computer.
    Can anyone give me some advice on how to get this to work with windows? It would be greatly appreciated since I have a few friends also having the same issues. Thanks

    Don't give up yet. At this point I would suggest cleaning your system with ipod and itunes software and reinstall. I know you tried this before but I'm going to give you more detailed instructions. Please read them carefully first before doing them and ask questions if you don't understand them. Also don't skip anything and be careful to not skip part of a step.
    1. Uninstall itunes and ipod software
    2. Reboot your PC
    3. Re-download the itunes installer and QT and save this installer to your desktop
    4. Go to C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Installations. You should see folders like {06EB3288-C5F4-4C73-8EEE-AC798668FF66}
    5. Look in each of these folders for itunes.msi and delete the folder. Be careful to only delete the folders containing itunes.msi
    6. Clean out your the following folders, Delete as much as you can in these folders except for the folders Cookies, History, Temporary Internet Files.
    a. C:\windows\temp (if one exists)
    b. C:\Documents and Settings\{username}\Local Settings\Temp
    Sometimes installers will pick up old files or won’t delete their temporary files.
    Also delete c:\program files\itunes & c:\program files\ipod
    7. Go to http://www.download.com/3000-2094-881470.html and download the regcleaner. Unpack it and run it. This is a nice utility that will delete broken registry entries and create a file with them. This way if it deletes anything needed you can add it back. Note I never had to do this with using it for many years. Also it doesn't list XP but you'll be fine. I run XP on both.
    8. Reboot your PC.
    9. It wouldn't hurt to scan your PC for viruses at this point.
    10. Now try to go and install everything again. I'd do QT first then follow with itunes. Remember to disable virus/firewall/privacy/web accelerators before launching the install.
    You don't have to try the QT if you don't want to but if you do make sure you do it first before itunes and ipod software.
    I hope this helps! Let me know what happens.

  • New iMac with windows 7 64bit

    Why does the New iMac 27" with SSD 768GB / bootcamp / runs only with Windows 7 Professional   32 bit  and not with 64bit?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    It's the inverse. The Late 2012 iMac is only compatible with 64-bit Windows versions in Boot Camp. The main reason is the memory: the iMac comes with 8 GB of memory, and a 32-bit Windows version can only detect 4 GB or less. Also, it's time to upgrade to 64-bit operating systems, that works with both 32 and 64-bit applications.
    If you want to use a 32-bit Windows version, the only solution is to install Parallels, VMware Fusion or VirtualBox, and install Windows in a virtual machine

  • Mac print sharing with windows issue...

    I set up a intel iMac to share its printer with a dell laptop. From what i can see in the printer's queue..all the jobs get sent from the laptop to the iMac; however, it doesn't print anything. It seems that windows is sending the print job and the iMac is receiving it but nothing is printing.
    what could be the solution?

    I have a very similar problem....
    I got a MAC PRO a couple of weeks ago and I have two USB printers (an EPSON CX 4200 and a CANON S900 connected to it).
    I tried both Ifelix procedures to add the printers connected to the MAC and I had problems with both procedures.
    If I try the http://mac-ip:631/printers/printer-name I am successful in adding the printer to the Laptop running windows XP however when I try to send something to that printer the job goes straight to the "completed" queue on the MAC.
    I spent two hours with Apple support on the phone today and they could not figure out what was going on and suggested that I post my issue to this forum to see if anybody has any ideas.
    I also tried to configure the printers using Bonjour (as per Ifelix method) but at some point during the printer setup I get an error message indicating that I do not have "sufficient access" to install the printer driver even though I am logged in as admin on the windows XP computer.
    Has abybody experienced similar pain? Is anybody here being able to print to printers connected to a MAC PRO from a Windows XP laptop?
    I should also say that my computers are in a network and both are connected to a Linksys Wireless Access point/router.
    The Laptop is a wireless laptop and the mac pro is conneced to the linksys router via a regular network cable.
    Also, I have no issues printing straight from the mac to both printers.
    Would appreciate any suggestions/comments.
    Thanks in advance for your time.

  • NO AUDIO - (Late 2013) iMac with Windows 7 64-bit

    Hey everyone,
    I have been scouring the forums to find something that will help me, but I have yet to find anything that works.
    Here is my problem:
    I recently installed Windows 7 64-bit using bootcamp on my (Late 2013) 27" iMac. I have the latest drivers for both OSX and Windows 7, and I used bootcamp 5 to install them. But I have NO AUDIO whatsoever, and I can't seem to find anywhere what audio controller I actually have. I tried using a bluetooth headset as a work around, but windows couldn't find any drivers to install it. It's supposed to be "plug and play", at least wireless and play. No drivers should be needed. This makes me think that I'm missing any audio drivers at all, and I have no idea how to fix this with the very little info I have on what's actually inside my mac. Any help with this would be great. It's getting very frustrating.

    have you tried looking in devices under windows?
    unrecoqnized devices should have a yellow !

  • I have an IMac with Windows 7 Ultimate and I want to install Imac sistem operation

    How can i backup my Imac operation sistem, i dont like windows anymore!
    thank you kind

    It appears that your iMac shipped with OS X 10.6.6 which came on disc. If you have the original grey discs put disc 1 into the superdrive and restart while holding the C key. Choose your language and at the next screen from the menu bar select Disk Utility. Erase and reformat the hard drive and be sure to select Mac OS extended journaled and for the format select GUID partition scheme. Quit Disk Utility and go back to the installer screen and install OS X. Whenit's done run software update to get to 10.6.8 then access the Mac App Store and you can upgrade to Mavericks if you choose.
    If you don't have the discs you can use Internet Recovery IF the firmware was upgraded to allow it before someone erased the Mac partition and installed windows. If the firmware wasn't upgraded you'll need to contact Apple and get a set of original install discs.

  • IMAC with windows XP on it as well Tiger, won't run mac after 10.4.8 instal

    My wifes IMAC, which we also partioned and installed windows XP, will not allow us to restart the Mac side. This just started this morning after she installed the upgrade from 10.4.7 to 10.4.8. When you restart the computer and hold down the ALT key you will get the option of going into either the mac side or the windows side. Now when we select the MAC side we get an error message telling us to hold down the power key to reboot the computer. This ends up doing nothing to fix the problem. Any help or advice would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Brian

    Michael, my guess is that you've installed a third party utility to modify the OS in some way, and it's broken. We've seen, for example, people who installed utilities that were supposed to improve network operation unable to get reliable network connections as a result.
    There's a utility that can remove unnecessary components from the OS. Unless used with caution, it can kill Rosetta.
    Haxies can break after an OS update. That's not Apple's fault, and it's a reason I don't install haxies such as Shape Shifter, for example.
    Does this happen with other PPC applications that have to run under Rosetta?
    What to do: If you've installed third party utilities that modify OS functions, remove them one at a time and restart. Try Entourage after each restart.
    BTW I don't suspect smcFanControl as the culprit.

  • Networking iMac with Windows 8.1

    I am running OS X Mavericks 10.9.4.  I have successfully networked both iMac machines with my wife's Windows 8.1 laptop and can successfully share files between all three computers with only one exception.........The Windows 8.1 machine WILL ALLOW BOTH IMACS TO ACCESS FILES ON IT BUT IT WILL NOT CONNECT TO MY WIFE'S IMAC TO SHARE THE iMAC FILES ON THE PC. Even though both iMacs show up in the PC workgroup, when she tries to connect to her iMac it always returns the error "cannot connect, bad stub" .  Any ideas?
    Thanks

    I would try opening File Explorer on Win8.1 and entering the path to a shared folder on the iMac in the address bar. For example
    \\iMacName\Downloads
    When you press enter a window should appear asking for credentials. Enter the wife's account name and password. This will either connect to the Downloads folder or fail with an error. So what happens?

  • Non-bootable iMac with Graphic Issues

    Hey,
    since yesterday mylittle bit over one year old  iMac (Mid 2011, ATI) shows this strange lines while booting and after some seconds only shows a white screen and freezes.
    Before I had not a single problem with the graphics.
    Is the graphic card broken or is there a change that it is a software error?
    Is anyone else having this problem?

    I too have had the same problem. Apple ackowledged the issue and paid for the repair (new motherboard). Within 1 week, the same problem occured. It went in for repair again. Less than 2 days later the 2nd replacement motherboard has failed. It is going back to Apple again!! Seems like the life expectancy of a G5 iMac is around 3 years!
    Not good enough Apple.
    However on a positive note, my previous Bondi Blue iMac running OS9 is still going strong.

  • Old iMac with serious issues

    Today when booting up our old iMac, my husband was greeted by a loud bleep of a noise and was staring at a screen booted into open firmware. Upon typing in the directed phrase to continue (mac-boot, I think), the computer would not boot. We manually shut it down, waited, then tried to boot again. It is booting up, and hubby has connected an EHD to salvage files. Thing is, though, it has Quark 4 on it (which we still use!) and aren't quite ready to pay to upgrade the Quark or take the time to learn the idiosyncracies of InDesign (which we also have). Is there any hope for this machine?
    Also, maybe worth noting, hubby tells me that for quite some time, he's been having to reset the date on this computer. We don't use it a lot (also have two iBooks, one running Tiger and the other Panther). It seems the date on the old iMac has been defaulting to1904. Does this shed any light on the current problem?
    I know...it's an old machine, and it's probably time to bury it, but hubby isn't ready to give up. Any thoughts, ideas, suggestions?

    Hello Diane,
    The first thing involves the date and time issue. This is usually caused by a bad pram battery.
    I would start with changing the battery. If you know the model, you can search for step by step
    instructions. it is not hard to change the battery. the battery can be purchased at local stores
    like Radio Shack.
    Next...do you have the original disks for the computer? You could try booting from the CD's or from a disk utility like Tech Tools if you have one. Many times the battery can cause booting problems.
    To be certain I understand....this old computer is running OS 9?
    I understand the complaint about the apps. For me, I was a great PageMaker fan then had to go to Quark...Now I am trying to learn InDesign 3. It is often frustrating when you get pretty comfortable using one app then try to do simple things in a new app. They call call things by different names.
    Don't give up on the old computer I am fairly certain it can be resurrected.
    I almost forgot...to reset the PRAM try this.....from Apple
    Resetting PRAM and NVRAM
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    Your computer's PRAM and the NVRAM are reset to the default values. The clock settings may be reset to a default date on some models.
    Try the resetting with the keyboard.........Jim

  • I'm using Parallels 7 on an imac with Windows 7.  Both OSX and Windows (and especially quicken on Windows) runs very slow.  Is there a good way to fix this?

    Since installing Parallels 7 and Windows 7 (to use Quicken), my imac and the virtual computer run very slow.  Is there a good fix?

    Start up while holding Command R and run Disk Utility, check the SMART status and repair your hard drive.

  • Distorted sound on iMac with Windows 7

    Hi,
    I've just upgraded from Windows Vista Ultimate to Windows 7 Home Premium.
    Before the sound worked perfect, but now it is very distorted.
    When I mute windows I can still hear sound - it is just a bit more distorted and at a bit lower volume.
    I tried to upgrade the sound card driver from Realtek, but lost sound completely. I reinstalled the Apple driver and now I have distorted sound again.
    I'm running Boot Camp 3.1 drivers.
    Does any one know how to solve this problem?
    /Tejs

    Can you find out which drivers you currently have for me please.
    go to Start >> right click Computer >> System Properties >> System >> Device Manager
    Now open up the sound, video and game controllers section and there should be something correlating to your sound driver here, if you could give me the name or the driver name if possible.
    also what iMac model are you running.

  • Driver issue with Windows 8.1 on new iMac 2013

    Just got a brand new iMac and am attempting to install Windows 8.1 on it. The Boot Camp Assistant kept timing out on the support software download so I downloaded Boot Camp 5.0.5033 from Apple support and put that on my external FAT drive.
    I was able to get Windows installed, but when I attempted to run setup.exe off of my external drive, I got a "Boot Camp x64 is unsupported on this computer model" error. I was able to work around this by running bootcamp.msi from a DOS prompt in administrator mode at which point the install seemed to go through successfully.
    Despite that, I'm still getting no love on WiFI, bluetooth, audio, etc. I'm attempting to download again through Boot Camp Assistant on the hope that there's a later version for my machine that's not yet available for direct download but am not optimistic.
    Any thoughts/ideas would be great appreciated. Note that I am running the latest everything on the Mac side (recent 10.8.5 Combo). 
    Thanks in advance.

    Actually, that link is exactly what got me in trouble. Use Boot Camp Assistant to get the drivers.
    As of this writing, Boot Camp 5.0.5033 will not adequately set up your drivers on a new iMac with Windows 8.1.
    The only way I was able to get the WiFi working was to use the drivers automatically downloaded by Boot Camp Assistant. Presmably this is a newer version than 5.0.5033 but I haven't been able to find it anywhere else for download. 
    I should also note that I was having some DirectX issues running graphics intensive software even after updating through Boot Camp Assistant. These were resolved by downloading the latest driver for my video card (GeForce 780M). There might be other issues that will require a manual driver update but I've yet to run into any more.
    Best of luck.
