Internet only works on the windows side of my bootcamped mac

I have a bootcamped 2012 macbook pro running os x 10.8.5. My issue is it says that I'm connected to the internet but everything that requires internet will not load. Web pages go about 20% of the way before it stops. This is occurring on any wifi I try to connect to, not just my home internet. I have ran diagnostics as well and it tells me nothing is wrong. When I switch over to windows 8 everything works perfectly fine. I can't figure out what the problem could be.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

I would like to run a stock analysis program called Toolkit 6 on my Macbook Pro, but it only works on the Windows platform. Is there software that allows me to run Windows applications on the Mac?

Yes it's MS Windows! You will need a license of MS Windows (preferable Windows 7) and from there you can decide on the strategy for running Windows on your iMac. You can use Boot Camp (you already have this) or you use virtualization software such as Parallels or Fusion. For your situation I'd recommend virtualization software. However for only one program I'd do some due diligence to see if there is a OS X version. You can start with the App store or simply use Google to search.

USB ports not working on the Windows side

A few days ago I installed Windows 7 Ultimate onto my mid 2012 Macbook Pro, but I noticed my USB ports will not recognize any device when I'm on my Windows side. My friend installed the same OS the same way I did (through a university agreement burn disc) and we used the same USB drive with Bootcamp support, but his ports work while mine don't. Any suggestions?

Does he have the same exact laptop, model and year?

My earphones only work on the left side on Macbook Air (2012)

I don't remember if it wasn't working from before, I just bought a new Macbook Air; today, I plugged in my earphones and only the left side was working (left bud). It also works this way with my headphones and Apple Earbuds. Any ideas?

It could be that they're faulty, or myabe even your PC. Have you tried another pair of headphones on the PC to see if it's the PC that's faulty instead of the headphones?

My trackpad is only working on the right side, is there a way of cleaning it???

Recon3D Omega Wireless Only working from the left side

Hi everyone,
A week ago I purchased the Sound Blaster Recon3D Omega Wireless headset. Today I started setting them up in my Ps4 and Pc and there is no sound comming out from the right side. Does anyone know what it could be? Or did the headset came defective?
thank you very much in advance!

How do i get the wireless internet to work for the windows??

downloaded windows using bootcamp so that i could play a computer game (shogun 2 total war) but the wireless wont work when i get on it... but it works when i get on the mac... how do i fix it???

Unless it has changed, I read that XP didn't have as good wireless networking as Windows 7. And even that takes a couple tweaks usually to get it right (strength, range, power settings).

I recently installed Bootcamp and Window 7 ultimate and the sound doesnt work on the windows side of the partition whats up

Computer is late 2007 MacBook Pro 15 inch Processor 2.16 GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo
Mac Traker says it can run Lion but I have had no luck

Just a guess, but if your wireless network is not appearing in Windows, it's probably a result of a Windows firewall setting.
An Apple AirPort Base Station just creates a wireless network, like any other. There is nothing different about it than any other wireless network, so it should be available to select from Windows. It has been a while since I've used XP but I am quite certain no additional drivers need to be installed for XP to communicate with a Mac's wireless hardware.
You might try asking in the Boot Camp discussions area.

I'm running Windows 7 on a Mac, and just downloaded Firefox 6.0.2 for the Windows side. However, my right-click function is not working in Firefox. It clicks on a link instead of bringing up the context menu. Please help.

This is the only program on the Windows side that has this problem. Windows Explorer and Microsoft Office work just fine with the right-click.

My scroll also doesn't work in Firefox -- but does in Excel and Word. This has been intermittent for months now. Usually, if I reboot the scroll would begin working again until for no apparent reason it quits again. Now even the reboot doesn't fix the no-scroll problem. I have Windows Vista. I even did a Firefox Update to 9.0.1.
I don't have that file on my about:config page so this solution won't work for me.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Most of the current Apple Intel based computers are comparable in CPU speed. I don't think it is so much the model of laptop as it is the memory, and storage capacity of the machine. If you are going to use FCP on a regular basis, perhaps as a professional or semi-professional, then you should think about the maximum memory and a very large capacity internal disk drive. For instance, one hour of finished compressed video will take up about 1.5 to 2Gbytes of disk space. If you add up the raw footage and still imagery and audio, you'll use up your disk drive capacity real quick. So a hard disk on the order of 750Gbytes @ 7200rpms might be good for video editing. 5400RPMs might be slow to rendering times. Rendering a video might take up a lot of memory so more memory is better e.g. 8Gbytes.
As a rule of thumb, once you get to about 80% of your disk drive or memory you'll see degradation of performance.
You can check out macsales.com. THey have a menu system that will allow you to pick and choose from various alternatives. BTW, it's been said that although Macs are typically spec'd at a certain memory size, macsales.com found that Apple computers will actually support higher memory levels. That is, if 4Gbytes are spec'd, some machines support 6Gbytes. macsales.com will provide the guidance for you.
You might also consider buying an external disk e.g. 500Gbytes to carry around with you for back-up or transport to another machine.

I have a MacBook 10.5.8 with Boot Camp. I can only operate the Windows side. When I move into MacOS it does not open.

Your phrasing is not clear. How do you reboot into Mac OS? /can you describe the process step by step?
Usually, you should do like this:
- while in win, restart
- immediately after chime, press option or alt key
- wait for 2-3 seconds, you should see the boot options
- select Mac OS partition
If you have performed all these steps, and, after choosing Mac OS partition, you cannot boot into Mac OS, then your system is corrupt and should be reinstalled.

I use the "Bootcamp" on my Mac to work between Mac and Windows. How do I get my iTunes music from the Mac side of my hard drive to the Windows side?

I use my "Bootcamp" harddrive to work on both the Mac side and Windows7 side of my computer. How do I get my Itunes Library from the Mac side to the Windows side of my Mac Book Pro?

Time Capsule is for backing up your data. It's not really a solution for live file storage; using it will not reduce the bloat of your boot volume.
If you have a lot of movies, music, etc. in your iTunes Library, that can be a good thing to move to an external drive. Here's how:

After you follow those instructions to copy your media over to the external drive and point iTunes to it, you can delete it from your internal drive.

Okay so my iphone says its connected to the internet but the internet only works for games so i cant use things like facebook twitter or youtube PLZ TELL ME HOW TO FIX THISf by the way it an iphone 4s and i have never encountered this problem before my dads iphone is the same after we updated to ios 8.1.1 but my mum hasnt updated yet and hers is fine

If deleting then reinstalling the apps doesn't work, then contact the app developer for support.
It sounds, though, like your internet connection is simply very slow.
Try making a backup, then restoring the iPhone as new, and testing again.
