Macbook Pro Bootcamp Windows 7 cannot use audio

Hi Guys:
I have a Mac OSX 10.6.3 laptop withbootcamp assisted Windows 7 installed on it. Under Mac OSX, when I attempt to use the microphoe feature, the screen freezes a little bit but works.
Under Windows 7, the audio locks up the entire browser session and audio is lost on the entire system until the browser session is terminated via task manager.
Has anyone come across this issue and do they have a fix for it?

Windows 64 bit for these reasons;
1. Windows 32 bit can not address more than about 3.5 GB RAM. If you ever upgrade your RAM it won't be accessible to Windows 32 bit.
2. Your computer is 64 bit
3. Lion is 64 bit
4. Newly developed apps are likely to be 64 bit
5. The retail box of Windows 7 contains both a 32 and 64 bit disk. So there is no extra cost.
6. 32 bit is older and being replaced everywhere by 64 bit
7. 64 bit Windows will run 32 bit apps
8. There is no reason to install 32 bit Windows 7

I get the following error message when I connect a usb ethernet adapter to my new MacBook Pro: Unsupported - You cannot use an Apple USB Modem with this computer. I live where we only have dial-up and the Apple Store said this is what I need. In addition, when I connect the phone to the connecter it falls out, it will not click in.

Why are you using a usb ethernet adaptor? Just plug the modem into the usb port.

MacBook Pro bootcamp windows cant see FAT partition

I have 4 partitions on my SSD
- 1) MAC OS
- 2) SHARED ETC (MAC OS EXT)
- 3) SHARED WORK (FAT)
- 4) NTFS BOOTCAMP
I created two additional partitions (ETC, WORK) after I setup windows via bootcamp, also after I've done that I did a workaround to fix MBR because I wasn't able to boot Windows natively.
But for some reason when I am booting windows it is does not see ETC and WORK partitions! It should be able to see at least WORK(FAT) partition?
How do I fix that?
I want to be able to access WORK(FAT) partition from Windows and ETC(MAC OS EXT) partition as well, if it is possible

Cant edit this question eny more, here is some more details http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/112449/macbook-pro-bootcamp-windows-can t-see-fat-partition

Mid 2014 15" Retina Macbook Pro Bootcamp Windows 8.1

Okay, so this is part question and part rant.
The question part: Has anyone successfully installed windows 8.1 in bootcamp on a mid2014 Macbook pro?
The rant part:
This new macbook is awesome. Everything is great. Except that apple needs to get their $h1t together on this bootcamp crap. I am an engineer. It is a sad world that we live in, and there is little I can do to change it, but as of right now, Microshaft owns the corporate world. Software for engineering is developed for winblows. Hopefully that will someday change, but for now I have to put up with it.
I purchased this brand new macbook with the understanding that I would have to install winblows on it, and with the understanding that I would spend about half of my time there. This is not choice, it is necessity. When I purchased this computer I did so because I was reassured that windows would run well in a dual boot.
5 hours of my time has been wasted trying to make that a reality. Currently, I am sitting here watching my mac reinstall Mavericks after being forced to wipe the entire drive due to incompatibility bullpoop.
So far I have tried:
Letting bootcamp do it's thing. This resulted in a near perfect installation, followed by a notification that the boot configuration could not be updated. great.
booting again and trying to format the partition with winblows. Winblows cannot install because of the GPT setup.
delete partition leaving blank space, boot in efi, and then allow windows to make the partition. This resulted in windows making 2 partitions (so far so good) and getting all the way to the end before letting me know that I am right back to trial 1 and it cannot update the boot configuration.
So I go into mac to delete these two partitions. The main one deletes, and the little one wont.
So i go into recovery. Still cannot delete partition.
I was forced to TOTALLY wipe the drive, and I am not sitting here looking at a screen telling me that in 4 hours the mac will have downloaded and installed Mavericks, and I will hopefully be back where I started a day ago. This is ridiculous.
So far I STILL do not have windows, and I am not really any closer. This is total and complete bologna, and I am about ready to return the macbook, and but a piece of $h1t winblows machine simply because it will ACTUALLY do what I HAVE to do. It would suck, because I prefer the Macbook, but if it flat out won't do what I need it to AND apple won't put enough effort into their compatibility software, I am going to be forced to make a compromise.
I send this faithfully from my Late 2008 13" Macbook running the new OS that I am not allowed to mention in this post without my post getting autodeleted.... Don't get me started on that... What is happening to apple? I want to love you guys, really I do!
Somebody help me please... If not with the computer, at least send me a cocktail.
MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014), OS X Mavericks (10.9.4), Bootcamp

This is probably late but I just finished installing Win 8.1 on my new Mid 2014 15" MBP. It still has a few quirks but it works. I just purchased my MBP and it is configured with 16Gb RAM, 1Tb SSD, 2.5Ghz CPU and the NVidia Graphic Controller. I am running the latest version of Yosemite. Here is how I was able to make it work:
1) I purchased an OEM Version of Windows 8.1 64bit Professional from Newegg.com. I needed an ISO in order to use bootcamp. For this I used my dedicated windows 7 machine and installed burnaware_free. This ripped an ISO from the Windows DVD. Some websites will say you can use the Microsoft Windows 7 USB Download tool. This tool will NOT work with an OEM DVD of Windows 8.1. I tried it 3 times and all times it barfed and told me the tool could not be used on my version of windows.
2) I used a 16gb Flash drive and plugged it into my MBP and started the bootcamp utility. (I used a 16Gb drive as I did read on a few web sites that stated you needed a Flash drive this big. I'm not sure why as it does not fill it but perhaps with a 8Gb drive there is some temp files created that cause a problem) When it gives me options I let it download the bootcamp drivers and when asked, I pointed it to my Win8.1 ISO that I created earlier. (A side note, you MUST let the Apple bootcamp utility create the bootable USB drive. Foolish me used a standard windows utility to create a bootable Win8.1 drive. Went all the way through the download tools, repartition, etc. The MBP reboots and then pukes telling me the USB I inserted is not a bootable drive. It will boot on a windows box but not on the MBP. I have no idea why but I know this to be the case.)
3) Windows should boot on the apple created USB flash drive. It will walk you through the install. The first thing you need to do is format the partition that the apple bootcamp utility created. You will most likely be given 4 partitions to choose from. Pick the partition that matches in size the one you created on the OSX side and select to format that partition. Once formatted you can hit next and go forward.
4) Just a note.... if your eyes are as old/bad as mine, when Win 8.1 is installing it is not smart enough to know to scale objects and so displays everything in the native retina resolution. I literally needed a magnifying glass to check the serial number I typed in to be sure it was correct.
5) Let the install do it's thing and finish. When it completes and reboots, it will default to boot into windows. This is probably not bad, as if you are like me there is then a whole host of things to install and multiple reboots are required. Before I did a bunch of installs however, I wanted to test to make sure I could go back and fourth between the two OS's. Here is where things get interesting. On my install, once bootcamp was complete and windows 8.1 was installed, booting my MBP no longer gives the gray screen on boot. The screen is now black. At first this had me fooled into thinking something was wrong. When it reboots and you just see the very faint change in the black screen you need to hit the alt/opt button. Better yet, just have it shutdown and then hit the on button and hold the alt button next. You will now be given two drives to boot from, the OSX side and the Windows side. The recovery disk is no longer present.
6) I picked the OSX side and booted into Yosemite. Everything on the Yosemite side is mostly right. OSX sees the bootcamp drive. I use the Paragon utilities that allow me to R/W NTFS from OSX and R/W HFS from Windows. On the OSX side I can R/W the Bootcamp drive without an issue. It is curious, however, that if I go to the system configuration and select Startup Disk, my windows drive is not visible. I don't know the reason but it does not give me an option.
7) I reboot the MBP again and this time I go into windows. On the Windows side Win 8.1, for some reason, is not seeing the OSX drive. I can to into System Management tools and the partition is clearly there but at the desktop level there is no HFS drive. For what I do this is not a huge deal but it is curious as with my old MBP, Win7 and Mavericks everything was visible on both sides. If I go to the BootCamp Utilities and select Startup Drive, the utility on the windows side DOES see the OSX partition and gives me the choice to make OSX the default boot OS if I want or I can select Windows too.
So far everything works, sans the inability to see my OSX drives on the Windows side. I've not used Windows 8.1 yet and so now I'm quickly discovering what all of the fuss is about. I don't want to turn this into a Win8.1 rant but holy crap..... what did Redmond do? Anyway, I found enough copious threads on the web to get 8.1 almost looking like 7 so I'm happy. This was a major PITA however.
PS - One last note. All of this came about because my poor mid 2011 17" MBP finally started suffering the graphic adapter fail that so many have been seeing. Really torxs my chain as I really loved this trusty laptop. Sans the graphic card issue I should have been able to run it another 5 years at least but turned itself into an unreliable time bomb that I just can't trust. Its a real shame but it is what it is. The new 15" MBP are very nice, very fast and very well built but I miss my 17" screen for certain.
I hope this helps someone so they don't have to go through the pain I did.

Macbook Pro, BootCamp, Windows XP and Creative Suite 2, Oh my!

Okay so here goes. I might get a 15", 1 GB mem, 120 GB HD MacBook Pro. On it I will most probably install Windows XP and CS 2. Is this a good idea or should I give up hope now? Will I be able to install any other progams including the above mentioned ones? Also, how exactly does bootcamp work, it shuts down the Mac OS and starts up Windows? So will it go snail speed? Thanks in advance.

If you are intending to use Windows I would suggest upgrading the hard drive to 160GB. That will then allow you to have a 40GB Windows partition while leaving you with 120GB for your Mac OS X partition.
As for RAM, I think you should look at having a 2GB minimum. Adobe CS2 coupled with Rosetta are quite the memory pigs so you'll get far better performance with an upgrade here as well.
Boot Camp allows you to run either Windows or Mac OS X at a restart. It's really simple and runs Windows extremely quickly.

MacBook pro bootcamp, windows 7 32 or 64bit

Hi all.
Iv been doing sum searching but just can't seem to find a definitive answer.
I have a mid 2010 13" MacBook pro with 4gb of ram. I am running the most upto date version of lion and want to run bootcamp with windows. I believe that I can only run windows 7 with lion.
I have been looking at windows 7 options and not sure weather I can run the 64 bit version with out any problems or if I have to stick with the 32bit.
Any help will be greatly received.
PS. On a different subject to save starting another thread. If I restore from time machine will it restore all my photo albums in iPhoto.
Thanks

My Macbook (13" White) that I have had for three years recently had its screen die, and so I purchased a new macbook pro, since I cannot use the screen, how do I go about getting my information off of it such as my iTunes, iPhoto and other documents?

The screen would fade into these weird pastel stripes, and if I pinched the sides a bit it would return to normal, but a few weeks ago it stopped returning to normal. I would like to get my iTunes and iPhoto contents and my documents of various sorts off of it and onto my new macbook pro. A friend of mine removed the hard drive and got the information like it was an external hard drive. Can I do this? I don't know if I can use my migration assistant application because the screen of my macbook won't let me see anything to even log into my username on the computer... Help?

Firewire disk mode.
Plug in a foirewire cable, most likely need a 6pin (400) to 9 pin(800).
on the older machine, boot it up, and hold down the t key
HDD should show up on the new computer.
If you havent booted up the new machine, you could run migration assistant whith the above steps to pull the data off.

I have MacBook Pro but I cannot use my FaceTime

I have tried but my facetime is not working.

I am using a Macbook Pro, MAC OS X 10.6.8. I downloaded Face Time through Itunes and when I try to login, I get this error message: "Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again." My apple ID is correct, I checked. I am using my WiFi with all other apps and I'm fine except with Face Time. Ideas?

Remote Install Snow leopard to macbook pro from windows xp using airport??

I have a problem... I finally bought my snow leopard, but I can not install it because my cd drive broke. so... I have a PC with XP on it, so I am trying to remote install it... I rebooted my mac and held the "Option" key and a list of one disk "Machintosh HD" came up. I noticed that the airport selection thing wasn't there... I don't know what's wrong with it. Do I need to setup a computer-to-computer network to do that or can I use my internet Wi-Fi.

You think that be booting the MBP holding the option key you will have the PC optical drive as a bootable option come up? Won't happen, won't work.

Is it best to run Windows 7 in Boot Camp, or would it be better to use VMWare Fusion or similar? I have a MacBook Pro Intel Core 2 Duo (OSX 10.6.8) and I also have a Dell laptop solely because one program that I need to use for work is only available for Windows. I would love to consolidate to my mac but am afraid installing Windows will ruin it!
It all depends on what your useage of Windows will be, for playing games install it in BootCamp, for word processing, spreadsheets, email. browsing etc a virtual Machne will be fine.

Clone pc-xp to macbook pro bootcamp partition

trying to clone PC with XP onto MBP. We created a bootcamp partition on MBP. We command-T to get FIREWIRE logo and status
we have XXCLONE running on PC. It registers the PC c: drive but does not recognize the MAC
we are wondering:
1. will this really work, its been done successfuly before?
2. if we need some drivers?
3. do we need to install new XP OS onto MAC partition first? or after we clone?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
If you have a MacBook Pro with Retina display or a recent MacBook Pro, you can't use Windows XP with Boot Camp, only Windows 7.
In your case, you can only install Windows in a virtual machine, using Parallels, VMware Fusion or VirtualBox. VMware has got an utility to migrate your PC to a virtual machine in the Mac. See > http://www.vmware.com/download/fusion/windows_to_mac.html

Why slow wireless download Macbook Pro Bootcamp Xp Leopard

Problem: wireless download speed is much slower running windows Xp on a macbook pro (bootcamp) than when running OS X. Example OS X = 1,164 KB/sec download, 496 upload vs Xp = 265 KB/sec download, 940 KB/sec upload.
I have a Macbook Pro Duo Core running OS X 10.5 with the newest Boot camp drivers for windows installed. Test was done using Speakeasy speed test, Safari/Explorer 7.
funny how only the download speed is slow under Xp, not the upload speed.
thanks for any help,
Paul

Here's a solution that worked for me, my chipset is a Broadcom 802.11n (4328). It's a 24" iMac (Pre Alu).
Hopefully it helps others. Broadcom have updated WHQL drivers (picked mine up from here, they have Vista versions on there too) and it was just a case of installing those and changing 2 settings.
Changing IBSS mode to 802.11a/b/g/n Auto:

Setting the Rate (802.11b/g) to 54:

Now my speed is on par with Leopard

Keyboard hangs on MacBook Pro with Windows 7

I have a 2008 MacBook Pro and Windows 7 RC installed with Boot Camp drivers.
More and more, the keyboard hangs. Sometimes it does not register a keystroke (for about 1 second), and shortly thereafter it hangs on 1 keystroke (pressing a random key once results in about 30 of that characters on screen).
I know Windows 7 is still not officialy released, but I do hope this gets fixed in the near future. I have had many Windows 7 installs, including previous versions. They all had the same issue.
The problem seems to be the Keyboard manager. Windows 7 also reported that this service was using more than usual resources, causing it to be bad for battery life.

Same problem here. I already installed Windows 7 and then Windows XP to see if this was a Win7 issue but on both OS the issue is occurring.
Delay with the Keyboard when press a key. Sometimes it writes 30 or more of the same character.
I can't do the double fingers/right click most of the times since the drives seems to hang and multitouch trackpad stops to recognize the two fingers right click. It eventually come back working OK from time to time and then stops working again.
Bootcamp 3.0 did not resolve the issue for me under Win XP and Win 7
