Macbook Pro(15' Retina) have conflict with saitek X52 PRO joystick in Windows

Hi everyone,
When I connect my joystick with my MBP in windows7, the system will recognize the device(the LED lights will be all switched on except the LED screen) but the whole system will become slow, the internet will disconnect, I can't logoff or shut down the computer, or modify the driver of the joystick, basically the system doesn't works well after I connect my joystick.  However, this joystick works well in windows PC or notebook, but only have problem with my mac.  Do anybody have any idea about that?
Henry

My Macbook Pro 15" Retina Late 2012 has the same problem with Saitek X52 Pro. After I plug the joystick, the system will just stop working. Sometimes, the mouse can move around, but can not click anything. I am running bootcamp Windows 7 service pack 1. I have tried my original driver which is 2.0 and also download the latest driver for it. Both had the same problems.

    You should be able to get the CS3 programs installed and running on the new pc since CS3 is spec-ed for Windows 7 Service Pack 1.  Downloading the programs does not require a serial number.  You can find them here:  Download CS3 products  but you will need the serial number to activate the programs.  You might be able to find that thru your Adobe account online.
    You will not be able to install the CS5 Mac version on a PC and you won't be able to trade it to a PC version either due to it being an older version.  Trades are allowed only for the latest version (CS6)

  • MacBook Pro Core i7 + Windows 7 Bootcamp issues

    I recently bought a brand new MacBook Pro Core i7 2.66Ghz with 8GB Ram and 500GB 7200rpm HD and Hi-Res display.
    When I received it, I updated all Mac OS X software via software update.
    I then created a 70GB Bootcamp partition to install a new full copy of Window 7 Ultimate.
    I started with the 64bit version of Win 7, but as has been noted here there are some issues with the driver packages and even after managing to get the 64bit version of the Bootcamp 3.1 driver package update to install in Windows (having first installed Bootcamp 3.0 drivers), the wireless driver would not install or work, nor would the NVidia driver, so I had a very odd display aspect and low res support. There may well have been other drivers not working either, but these two really stood out.
    Despite the Bootcamp 3.1 driver package apparently being installed (as reported by "About Bootcamp", the 3.1 package was still being offered to me in Apple Software Update. I tried to install again, and again it still showed as being available to install. Obviously some issue's here.
    So I decided to try the Windows 7 32bit edition instead, as I don't necessarily need the 64bit version to run the Windows apps I need.
    I deleted the Bootcamp partition and started again. I ended up in the exact same situation with Windows 7 32bit as I had done with Windows 7 64bit - wireless device without a driver, NVidia drivers not installed. This time I had used the Bootcamp 32bit driver packages.
    In the end I've opted to just install it via VMware as a pure virtual machine. This works fine, but for what I do in Windows, I prefer to have a Bootcamp setup.
    Is there a general issue with the new MacBook Pro's and Windows 7 despite Apple releasing updated driver packages? Do these new driver packages handle the dual GPU setup properly?
    I have read a number of "How to's..." for installing Windows 7 on the a MacBook Pro, but none have been successful for me. Am I wasting my time for now and need to wait for Apple to update Bootcamp for the 2010 MacBook Pro's, or am I just missing something in the way I'm doing this? I can't believe it shouldn't be this hard?

    Running Windows 7 Ultimate x64 on my brand new 15" MBP right now.
    The only problem I'm having is the USB controller issue that is reported in the following thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2411685&start=30&tstart=0
    I ran the Boot Camp assistant, made the partition, rebooted with my 7 DVD, formatted the partition, performed a clean installation, & then installed the drivers from the OSX DVD when Windows booted the first time.
    Replaced the NVIDIA drivers with the latest Verde release. 258.96notebook_winvista_win7_64bit_internationalwhql.exe
    Everything seems to be running just fine at this point.

  • Using Migration Assistant to move files from old PC laptop to new MacBook Pro that has Windows 8 installed containing Outlook

    When using Migration Assistant to move files from old PC laptop to new MacBook Pro, that has Windows 8 installed containing Outlook, will emails, contacts and calendar entries be moved to Outlook on the new MacBook or into Mail, Contacts and Calendar?

    I doubt they will. But then I'm not sure as I used a migration program once about 18 years ago and totally FUBARed the system I had at that time and I've never used one again.
    For me the reason to have a new system is to start fresh. Installing only program that I now use and manually copying data over from the older system.
    Not sure your older version of Outlook, and the outlook mail boxes, are compatible with Office/Outlook for Mac 2011.
    A better place to ask this question would be on the MS Office for Mac forums.
    Hope it all works out for you.

    Hi LamboMong,
    just try this:
    http://refit.sourceforge.net
    install, reboot twice and choose the Windows-Partition on next startup.
    (The apple-bootloader doesn't display all bootable harddisks.
    With rEFIt you can boot from all partitions/harddisks on your computer.)
    I hope that will solve your problem.

  • MacBook Pro crashes on Windows 7 Boot

    Hey,
    I just bought a new 2010 13 inch macbook pro, and installed Windows 7 on it. When I boot Windows 7 I can use it for like 20 seconds and then later the mouse cursor gets stuck and nothing works. Both the keyboard and the mouse both dont respond to anything I do.
    Just worth mentioning: I installed all the updates before installing Windows 7 and installed the windows 7 drivers after the installation finished.

    So just to be sure, you have the Apple BootCamp control panel and other devices.
    You checked device manager.
    Might want to run msconig and for me, I disable and uninstall what I don't want running and don't use (Bonjour, MobileMe, etc).
    Your OEM DVD is newer than the Boot Camp 3.1, so if you did install 3.1 I would suspect it is at fault.
    Mouse and keyboard seem to (again) be common complaints. Also graphic drivers.
    Make sure you have room for and using System Restore points and can "roll back" and driver update you made.

    Most external drives are formatted for Windows; you should be able to format it for Mac. Plug it in, open Disk utility, highlight the drive and choose the Partition tab. Do not worry about any software on the drive - you don't need it and it will be erased. In the partition tab, choose how many you want, name them, choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and, under the Options button, choose GUID partition scheme. Hit Apply. The drive will be erased and formatted. If that process does not work, contact Seagate and inquire about the Mac compatibility.

  • Retina Macbook Pro 13" on Windows 8 Wifi Stops Receiving Data

    Hello!
    I am running a Retina Macbook Pro 13" with Windows 8 Bootcamp. Recently I have discovered that my laptop internet stops working. When I boot it up in windows I will be able to use the internet for an average of around 30 seconds before it stops loading pages but it is still connected to the network. The only way I can actually use the internet is if I keep reconnnecting to my WiFi network every minute or so.
    Can anyone help me with this issue?

    I'm having a similar issue on my brand new MacBook Pro Retina 15". Internet seems to run fine on my windows side, but when I bootcamp into Windows 7, using my ethernet adapter, downloads seem to only get between 80mb-200mb done before it just stops, and I have to restart. I can browse the internet completely fine (and quickly) but downloading large files seems to cause an issue.
    I had to download a Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet driver to get the adapter to work, and I'm wondering if perhaps I have the wrong driver? It's weird that it works though....I also downloaded 7.5GB of Team Fortress 2 seemingly fine the first night, but I think thats because Steam is able to force a reconnect even if it stops working.
    Anyway, any help would be appreciated.

  • Retina MacBook Pro Trackpad in Windows 8

    Hello, and apologies if this has been answered anywhere, I've been digging for hours and to no avail.
    I just recently picked up the new Retina MacBook Pro, and I'm having issues with the trackpad in boot camped Windows 8. For reference, the trackpad worked fine in Windows 7, and I used the same Windows Support drivers that Boot Camp downloaded for both Windows 7 and Windows 8.
    The issue manifests itself as such:
    Windows receives no input from Trackpad at all
    2 "Touchpads" appear in Device Manager in Windows 8
    Both touchpads have yellow yield sign indicating on further inspection "driver installed improperly"
    So far I've tried the following:
    Uninstall and re-scan for devices
    Reinstall by running repair with boot camp utility
    Older versions of the driver in boot camp
    Running the individual boot camp driver directly (results in "you need to run 64 bit version of DPInst.exe"
    Extracting boot camp driver archive, replacing DPInst.exe with a 64 bit version, running DPInst.exe as well as re-archiving and running the driver
    Checking online for additional drivers, including Microsoft's auto-check functionality
    Each of these methods have resulted in the same thing, 2 touchpads appearing with "incorrectly installed drivers." I'm at a total loss, if anyone has had any success conquering this issue, or if you've simply been able to use your Trackpad on your RMBP, please share your steps!
    Cheers.

    To make the trackpad work. You need to install trackpad++
    (http://www.techspot.com/downloads/4967-trackpad-control-module.html), it will enable the trackpad driver on boot camp. After you install the trackpad++, trackpad++ will complain something. ingnore it.  You should be able to enable trackpad. And you can now even uninstall the  trackpad++, the trackpad will sill work. 
    brightness, what graphics card are you using? It might be due to the auto adjusting brightness running there. You can go to your power options, edit the one you are using  (Change plan settings >> Change advanced power settings) and look for Batteries >> Enable adaptive brightness and disable the one you are using. After that, the scrollbar for adjusting brightness in power options should work again.
    bluetooth connection is incredibly unreliable/intermittent when in Windows (I run Windows 7 64-bit and Boot Camp 4.0, and got both devices connected without any trouble via Bluetooth).
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4079148
    After much testing, I have found the cause of lagging/jumpiness on the Bluetooth Magic Mouse and Magic TrackPad in Boot Camp. Hopefully this will help others:
    The drivers for the Broadcom 802.11n Wireless Adapter have a setting called "Bluetooth Collaboration" that is Disabled by default. Enabling this option removes the problem instantly. My Magic Trackpad now works flawlessly, even if I stand 6 metres from the machine. It now works just as well as under Mac OS. The setting can be found under:
    Control Panel > Device Manager > Network Adapters > Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter (right click and choose "Properties".
    Under the "Advanced" tab, highlight the setting named "Bluetooth Collaboration", then change it to Enable. Then click OK.
    I narrowed the problem down to the wireless card by disabling ALL startup services and processes for Windows, then re-enabling one by one.
    As soon as I enabled the Windows Wireless Service, the problem came back.
    Similarly, disabling the Wireless Card inside the Network and Sharing Center (or Device Manager) removes the problem.
    This led me to believe it must be a driver issue with the wireless card, since the problem didn't occur with the Magic TrackPad under Mac OS, or on my mother's Windows 7 64-bit computer.
    So when I went into the Driver Properties to check for an update, I found this setting about Bluetooth Collaboration.
    All Apple notebooks use the Broadcom card (and have done for years), so this driver is installed for almost anybody using Boot Camp on an Apple notebook. I'd assume this problem would affect anybody using Boot Camp + wifi + a Bluetooth device.

  • Hi,I am unsure if I have a safari or modem problem. It only happens when I use my macbook pro, my HP windows is fine. Internet crashes on modem and then a message that safari is not connected. I don't know where to start sorry I am not technical at all.

    Hi there, my internet is crashing everytime I use my macbook pro/safari it happens roughly every 2 mins, it can happen on any website.
    I am not technical at all and I am at a total loss of where to start with this. I did a bit of research on the internet but no luck in finding any
    help.
    Basically I am not sure if it is a modem of safari problem. I have no problems when using my HP on without windows explorer on the internet.
    I am working wireless ADSL 2 - Bigpond - 2 Wire 2701 HGV-W and a macbook pro purchased around 5 months ago. Since the purchase date
    I have had problems with internet.
    Safari brings up a page you are not connected to the internet. I then look at the modem and DSL and internet lights are both flickering and or/off.
    They then re-set themselves. I then have to re-set preferences on safari and quit and restart.
    I have also tried using with cable into mac and modem and no difference.
    I can only figure that maybe Safari is not compatible with the modem? could this be the case?
    Thanks for reading and any assistance would be appreciated.

    There's an Apple help page on the DNS problem - at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3408
    The first thing to try is changing your DNS settings - and for that you need to open System Preferences, then the
    Network section.
    In Network - click  on Advanced - then the DNS tab
    under DNS servers - use the + button to enter two extra lines
    either these, from google dns
    8.8.8.8
    8.8.4.4
    or from OpenDNS
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    then click OK & then 'Apply'
    You would need to do that seperately for the Cable (Ethernet) settings and Wireless (Airport)

  • Retina MacBook Pro 15 inch Windows 8.1 Bootcamp

    Hi all, I'm going to buy a MacBook Pro Retina 15 inch soon and was wondering if anyone has tried bootcamping Windows 8.1 on it and see how well it works? I'm very curious about the display scaling. Besides the display scaling, I am also curious to how well it plays games. The game I'm most curious about is smite. If anybody can help me that would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    @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."
