Installed Windows 7 but can't find get on the Internet

Hi there!
I am trying to help a friend install Windows 7 on his new mac book pro.
I went through the procedure of getting boot camp to do its thing and I successfully installed Windows 7 on top of boot camp. However, the problem is now that I can't get Windows 7 to go on the internet.
I didn't realize that apple no longer makes DVD disks for the new mac book pro. Therefore, I went back into boot camp and downloaded the drivers onto a USB disk using FAT format on the USB stick.
I was able to eventually get Windows 7 to read the USB disk (I had some problems before that and I had to reformat the USB disk). I looked inside the disk and saw a folder called Windows Support. In that folder were the following files and folders:
I looked all over for the drivers that would install the wi-fi or the ethernet connection. Unfortunately, there were no file(s) to be found.
I clicked on the setup.exe file. I believe that when I double clicked on the setup execution file, I was prompting me to reinstall boot camp.
Now, since boot camp and window 7 is already on the windows partition, I didn't go further on the install.
Can someone tell me what would what's going on here. The instructions for getting the drivers is a bit confusing.
Thanks!

Also, I realize that even if I DID a screenshot, I am sure that you or someone else could tell me what YOU see or guide me as to when you do the prompts for the setup exe.
As I said before, I am not at the computer in question and am trying to get as much information as I can so that I can possibly go over to this person's house today and finish the install.
How about posting what I should see for a reference. It would be most appreciated. thanks!
Shift-Command 4 will get you a screenshot, then click the camera icon in your post and insert it.

I downloaded a rental movie but can't find it on the upgraded itunes page. Old home page showed a tab that read "rentals" on the left side. Anyone know how to find that tab?

I have the same issue. Just rented a movie, and I can't find it anywhere. Where is it stored, and how do I watch it on iTunes 11.0.4 ?
I don't see the 'rented' tab anywhere, and nothing under 'purchased'.

Are you checking from within the Apps section of iTunes on your computer? Is there a reason you can't download it directly to the iPhone?

Hi,
Have you tried using your iPod's Search function to find the movie? (The Search function is to the left of the home screen.)
Hope this helps!

Hi,
Which CS5 suite have you purchased?
This document has guidelines on locating your serial number depending on the mode of delivery of your purchase:

You also mention that you are able to locate the serial number for Photoshop. Did that come as a part of the suite or did you purchase Photoshop as a standalone application?

I know it's been posted, but can't find podcast in the store

I've read all the post about this issue, but can't find an answer to my situation. I have submitted and had a podcast approved a week ago. It is not searchable yet in the iTS. Feed is fine. Name is Mr. B's Classroom.
feed: http://julius.centura.k12.ne.us/~boelhower_j/Site/Podcast/rss.xml
Thanks for the help.

Good morning Roger,
I have that site to view the podcast. But I just went to iTS and could not find the podcast. I had a colleague try on their computer and they could not find it either.
I am using iWeb to produce the podcast. I am new to this, when I submitted the podcast it had my name listed (so I thought). I looked at the tec questions and I do not understand how to get my name added? Thank you for your time helping, and I am sure I am frustrating veterans at this. Sorry, I'm trying.

Why can't I get to the Internet without wifi?

When I'm out of WiFi range but I have cell coverage I cannot get to the Internet with my iPhone but I can with my iPad. Has anyone else experienced this and how did you solve the problem?

It could be any number of issues...
First who is your ipad cellular provider (AT&T, Sprint, Verizon)? Is your data plan active and up to date on the ipad? You may want to call them and make sure all is well on their end.
The troubleshooting steps for cellular data on an ipad can be found here:

If the troubleshooting does not work then the SIM card or iPad may need to be serviced.

I installed windows 8 and can't find all my bookmarks etc. I tried reset but it didn't help. How can I restore my old info?

I tried to find the database files from my old firefox on explorer 7 but any old files I tried came up as can not open or not found. I tried the suggestions from mozilla help about what files contain the info but got the same results. I did reset but all it did was give me the few new things I've done since installing windows 8.

hello, did you install windows 8 on top of another operating system on a single machine and do you have any form of prior backup available?
one thing you could try is to search the whole filesystem (make sure you include all locations, also hidden ones) for the term ''bookmarks*.json'' - if any results show up with a date in their filename that lies before the windows install, you can then likely import them into your current firefox profile.

After install Windows 7 i can't find MacOS in bootcamp menu. And when i'm pressing alt at start I have just Windows OS. How to return to MacOS?

After install Win7 I can't find MacOS in bootcamp menu. And when i'm press alt at start I can watch just 1 OS. How to return to MacOS

Hmm, then it seems Windows is trying to use a video driver that doesn't work with the one in your Mac.
Try a safe mode start in Windows. Restart and boot to Windows. If you're doing that from the startup manager (holding down the Option key and choosing the Win 7 partition), select the Windows disk and immediately start pressing the F8 key. If the Mac is trying to boot to Windows right at a restart or startup, then start hitting F8 the instant the hardware chime bongs.
Rather than the normal Win 7 splash screen (which from the sounds of things, you're not even seeing that), you will get a DOS screen of boot options. Chose Safe Mode and continue. This will force Windows to use the bare bones video driver and you should get to a desktop you can see.
Now install the initial Boot Camp drivers.

I can't install windows 8.1 - can't find hdd drive

Hello,
I am trying to install Windows 8.1 also I have tryied windows 7. I put my USB stick and I used the Bootcamp installation. Everything was copied+latest drivers, created bootcamp partition with bootcamp assistant. After that Mac restarted and booted into the windows installation. I run install process and it says something like: "Any drives were not found." So in this stage my install journy ends. Because I don't know how to create an installation usb stick. If I going back and check Disk Utility, the Bootcamp partition is there. So I don't understand why the installation can't find any partitions.
Funny is if I try to find some drivers I can browse for them and I see the the HD-partition and folder like an Users, documents, Program Files.....
My SSD is Crucial M4 256GB with latest firmware and used Mavericks by fresh installation.
I will be happy for any usefull suggestion.
Thank you very much.

The .exe is a Download Manager. You need to run it on a Windows machine and download a USB and/or ISO file.

Installed Windows 8, but can't open in OS X anymore!

I have installed Windows 8 on my mid-2009 13" Macbook Pro, with mountain Lion on the other partition. Now when I shut down/restart, it only opens in Windows 8! I've held down "X" on the start-up and that doesnt work.
How do I start up in OSX?!

you have to hold down the option key
another option is to use the bootcamp tools that you installed along with the apple drivers disc you made in osx bootcamp program
this bootcamp utils in windows will let you choose if you want it to boot up default in windows or osx
you have a tool like it in osx so you can switch between them without using the option key at startup at all

Trying to install wireless network, but can't find installation CD

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi hdkimball,
How about trying to get into the setup page of your WRT160N v2? Launch your internet explorer or other browsers then you type in 192.168.1.1. Leave username blank and password in small letters admin. Here are the links on how to reconfigure your router.

How do I get rid of xmarks. I never installed it and I can't find it in the control panel

Hi,
If it was installed as a Firefox extension you can try to '''Remove''' it in Firefox '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons''' > '''Extensions'''.

On the other hand, if it was installed as a Windows application or Internet Explorer application, you may have to uninstall it via the Windows OS Control Panel, or via the browsers concerned. The [http://answers.microsoft.com/ Windows support] would be helpful.
