MBA 2011 installed WIN7 problem!!

after i installed WIN 7 using bootcamp cannot connect the internet in Windows, MAC OS is ok for network,
it look like missing the driver and i checked in hardware installation page is show fault on internet control card,
where can i find the driver?
anyone can help plz!!

Win7 on the MBA uses the Broadcom driver. The drivers are installed automatically when you run the setup.exe program from the Windows Support folder on the bootable USB stick that was created as part of the BootCamp process. You should not need to download the drivers individually. Try re-running the setup.exe program to see if the driver loads properly.

G400s after installing win7 problems..

I install windows 7 in this preinstalled windows 8 notebook, but there're several problems that I need helps with.
1. After installation, the preinstalled programs like youcam and onekey recovery are gone. I can't find them in the g400s drivers download page.
Please let me know where I can download them, and what other preinstall programs beside youcam and onekey, that are useful and I might want to install.
2. So if onekey recovery doesn't work in windows 7, what should I do if I decided to change back to windows 8?
I don't have product key or cd since it's already in the system when I bought it.
3. After installation, my 2nd hard disk (named Lenovo something), just disappeared.. and now left with just 1 disk.
What happened?
Please help! Thanks!

One Key Recovery (OKR) works with Windows 8 pre installed OS using a special partition that is on the hard disk drive. When you installed Windows 7 it mostlikely formatted the entire drive, wiping out both the Windows 8 partition and the OKR partition in the process.
At this point the Windows 8 files are lost and if you wish to re-install Windows 8 it will require the recovery disk set purchased from Lenovo Support. The other programs that were loaded on with the orginal disk may not be supported by Windows 7, or there are no drivers in Windows 7 to support the hardware that is linked to that software.
Good luck.

Having problem installing Win7 using Bootcamp on Mac Mini 2011

I'm trying to install Win7 using bootcamp on my new Mac Mini 2011. I first partitionned the disc using Bootcamp assistant. Then during Win7 installation I select Partition 4 BOOTCAMP, format it to NTFS, then when I try to select the drive, it says that the drive is not compatible for the installation.
Is there anything I missed???
Thanks

I had a similar problem when I selected upgrade instead of complete install. I want to make sure your aware that you should click the complete option instead of upgrade when you reach that portion of the win7 install. Then you need to select part ion 4 like you have stated and format it to ntfs.
But it seems that you've already done all of that. My advice would be to go back to the Mac side, restore the partition using bootcamp and again partition it. You need at least 25gb of space for 64 bit. I would recommend using at least 40gb. Just trying to help. I apologize if I misunderstood your problems. But make sure you click on the opposite choice of upgrade, I did my mini last night lol but I can't remember the exact name of the option I think it's complete, then select part 4 and click format....

Installing win7 on imac 27" mid 2011 model - sloow

i am trying to install win7 x64 ultimate edition in bootcamp on my latest imac mid 2011 i7, 3.4ghz, 12gb ram. I have created the bootcamp partition and i have the win7 installation disc. Once the computer restarts to begin setup of win7, the speed is rediculously slow, and i mean slow. it would literraly take about 5 hrs alltogether to install the windows7, and in between the screens, it usually takes about 10 minutes for each screen to appear, plus mouse is not responsive for about 5 minutes before the next step is completed. i have first tried to install win7 from snow leopard via bootcamp (installation of windows was slow). i upgraded to lion OS, and the same problem is consistant, redicously slow instalation. Even if thw win7 installs successfully (after like 5 hours), its not operational at all. i am unable to install the drivers once the win7 installation fully completes, because of its no response to any commands
I have performed the installation of bootcamp win7 a week earlier on my MBA (latest edition), same win7 disk via USB drive without any problems and it runs smooth. the same is not the case installing on imac 27". Any ideas?

You probably left out something signifiant. Like your iMac is configured with....SSD?
3rd party memory might be an issue.
Both have been known to be factors. Some Apple (Toshiba) SSDs are very slow, some seem not to be supported or have issues. The SATA 3 6G cable interface for one.
Do you have an SSD plus 2TB hard drive?

Hi,
There is a Boot Camp (it's Boot Camp not bootcamp) forum, I'd recommend re-posting there. Also if you haven't seen it here is the Installation and Setup Guide for Boot Camp.

Install boot camp driver 4.0.1 on windows 8 beta in mba 2011, have error

install boot camp driver 4.0.1 on windows 8 beta in mba 2011, have error
Boot camp requires that your computer is runing windows 7
I search in the net, and also this sait, somebody say:
right click icon setup.exe, select properties , and check box windows 7
or
right click icon, select Troubleshoot compatibility, select windows 7
I do this method, but the problem is still there!
anybody can help ?
please

You really want to consider posting in the Boot Camp forum -
https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp
An unsupported OS using software not designed for that unsupported OS, probably going to be hard pressed to get concrete answers.

Problem installing win7 in bootcamp via usb

Hi, I switched my early 2011 MBP's superdrive with a Corsair SSD a couple of months ago and managed to install windows 7 on it with a usb key and bootcamp using the VMWare method (A long and tricky process, but it worked). Everything was working well until some system files on my win7 drive were damaged (Impossible to launch the wlan service, frequent random freezes, etc.). I tried to repair the system install but wasn't able to do so (Impossible to repair on boot since I have no DVD drive and my system restore option was unabled for disk space reasons...). I then tried to reinstall (overwrite) windows 7 via bootcamp (I created a new win7 install usb stick, then tried to reinstall it at boot but it said something like "No installation disc found, please insert the win7 install dvd and press any key", in other words, windows boot utility wasn't able to see my usb stick).
Now, my situation is the following: I managed to boot back on OSX, I see my second SSD but it's now empty and formatted as "BOOTCAMP" (not a problem since I want to reinstall win7 completely).
Is there any way I could still make a fresh win7 install via USB on that SSD drive or is it easier if I just remove the second SSD from my MBP and install win7 on it by connecting it to my PC...?
Thank you,
Jean.

2011 MBP MC700 13" cann't install win7 from an external usb CD/DVD ROM

My new 2011 MBP MC700 13" cann't install win7 from an external usb CD/DVD ROM,WHY?

Yes, very annoying. Not unworkable though. We've a bucket load of different external devices too, tried all of them.
It's not common to one OS either - can't boot OSX DVD, Ubuntu, Win7.... Only way I can is via the internal SuperDrive when it's actually internal.
Even tried it with just 1 x Hard Disk & an External USB. No joy.
Obviously not annoying enough for me to try and find a solution I just work around it now. Interesting it's been the same on my last three MBPs though - no problem on both the Air's I've owned.

Does anyone else have this issue? What was the resolution to this?

I have a MBP mid 2010, and after installing Maverics, the following apps will not launch, as in "not responding" when i try to launch them.
Maps
Photo Booth
Apple Script Editor
Color Sync Utility (did launch but after pressing the "Profiles" button, it crashed)
Grapher
Also struggling with streaming sites like Netflix, extremely slow launch the video (No network issues, tried on different network).
The problem isnt percistant, occasionally the programs will launch and work.
I have tried re-installing OSX. I sent the machine to apple service, where they told me my hdd was defective. So i bought a new SSD harddrive and installed Mavericks and i still have the same problem.
Does it sound like a hardware or a software problem?

What do I need to install win7 in my iMac 2011 21.5" ,and how much

I think all your answers can be addressed in a free session with an apple genius. All of your questions are about things that, as softwater points out, are free.
you have time machine already on your machine, hit command+spacebar and type time machine, hit enter. time machine will come up. Follow the steps it says to set it up.
Boot Camp (which I've never used) is also on your machine already. hit command+spacebar and then type Boot Camp. Hit enter. This is boot camp assistent. Use your CD of windows with this software and you'll be able to boot into windows 7.

Satellite A300 (PSAG8E) - Hardware problems after installing win7 ultimate

Hello and good day,
I've installed win7 ultimate a few days ago and windows managed to recognize most of my hardware accept my build in mic and camera and another component I am not sure about what it is (Windows update automatically downloaded the sound and graphics driver for me).
My questions are - where can find the remaining drivers and where can I get the preinstalled Toshiba tools and software? (The driver site in the Toshiba support page does not include those drivers and software)
Thank you very much
Roi Ben Simon

Hi
I have Satellite A300 (PSAG8E) too and installed Win7 Home premium and everything works perfect.
At first I must say that I don't know where you have searched drivers and Toshiba tools and utilities because all stuff is downloadable on Toshiba support & download page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com
It is logic that mic will not work if you didn't installed proper driver. Install drivers alone and not using Microsoft update. What you need are real and tested drivers and not some free drivers from internet.
Go to Toshiba download page and install all stuff following this installations order:
-Win7
-chipset driver
-storage manager
-display driver
-sound driver
-modem driver
-supervisor utility
-infrared
-patches
-configfree
-VAP
-toshiba hardware setup
-HDMI control
-WLAN driver
Everything works well but missing some drivers
Added Vista stuff:
-Toshiba assist - work properly
-Card reader - installed properly
-Webcam driver for A500 - tested with Skype - work properly.
-Synaptics driver

HP 2000 - 2c12NR: Removed Win8, Installed Win7 64-bit; Touchpad Problems

Greetings HP forums!
My name is Bob and I am having an issue with an HP 2000 laptop. A friend requested I remove Windows 8 from a laptop, and install Windows 7 since he was much more familiar with the old GUI.
I installed Win7 64-bit and am having issues with the touchpad consistently working correctly. I have let Windows use its generic drivers, and have installed the Win8 Synaptics touch pad driver/utility. Both drivers produce the same problematic results. The strange issues I am having are as follows:
- Touchpad works fine for 5-30 minutes
- Touchpad becomes inoperable for varying amounts of time; 1-5 minutes
- Touchpad starts working again, but requires higher than normal pressure to work OR only works on the RIGHT side of the touchpad
- Touchpad stops working again, and then after swirling/twirling my finger around the touchpad it will start moving itself without any further input to the Touchpad at all. Everytime it starts moving on its own, it exhibits the same behavior. It moves only vertically, in a perfectly straight line, roughly 2/3 the heighth of the screen, and is very choppy skipping up and down; This lasts for 10-30 seconds.
- After it's done 'ghosting' the cursor up and down, the Touchpad is usable again, but is very finnicky. It requires excessive pressure or response is very laggy/inaccurate to the touch you are inputting.
- Typically after a reboot it works perfectly fine for a short amount of time, and then starts acting as I have described above.
I have tried altering any and all of the settings in the Synaptics driver utility to no avail. I have uninstalled/reinstalled, enabled/disabled the hardware/drivers numerous times. Each time either drivers are removed and installed it will work fine for a short amount of time and then go back to acting crazy.
I thought the ribbon cable may have been loose, so I opened the laptop up far enough to check the ribbon cable for the Touchpad. All was well, everything was snug.
At this point I am thinking there is an issue with the Touchpad itself. While I am waiting for a reply I am going to try reinstalling Win7 since I have exhausted all other ideas I have.
Any and all information is greatly appreciated.
Thank You,
Bob Melchert

*EDIT*
I just started the process to re-install Windows. Once files were finished loading and the initial install screen had loaded, (where you select Language, Time/Currency Format, and Keyboard input method) the Touchpad immediately started moving vertically on itss own. Once it stopped moving on its own, I am only able to move the cursor vertically in the spot where it was moving itself; Any input to the Touchpad only allows vertical movement. This is the first time I have encountered this issue. Since this is happening with Windows loaded into RAM, I am becoming more certain this is a hardware issue.

Hello disgrntld,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand there is no audio coming from the computer. Before anything else, I would suggest a manual uninstall and reinstall of the sound driver:
1. Go into Device Manager, then "Sound, video and game controllers".
2. Look for the Audio driver. Right-click on it and select "Uninstall". Do not restart the computer.
3. Restart the computer. It will force the computer to detect the hardware and install an appropriate driver.
Please let me know your results. Thanks!

MBA 2011

Hello everyone !
I just bought a 2011 MBA with Lion O.S obviously. Can someone tell me how many partitions does it have? I want to install win7 as well and from what I`ve read so far, there can only be 4 partitions. I`m thinking O.S Lion is one, recovery partition must be the 2nd....
I`d like to partition my SSD as follows:
1. Lion O.S
2. Win 7 O.S
3. Shared [storage partition]
4. Lion recovery
Is that possible? without erasing anything? Is there someone who could walk me through that?
Thank you

Hey Niel...,
I did install Windows, using a usb flash drive and have just 1 partition for it, created by Boot Camp. Is there a way to shrink that and make 2 partitions[in Windows]?
I would like to have the Win7 O.S in its own partition and all the storage to be in another one, separatley...do you think it`s doable? 256 gb SSD.
I have Lion O.S as well, 51gb (I did not erase anything), the rest is Windows.
Thanks.

Installing Win7 on a macbook pro using a mac mini as external optical drive

hi everyone,
My 2 year old son watches movies on my macbook pro. He stuck something in the optical drive making it unusable. Repairing it is 200 to 300 euros (ouch).
I want to install win7 via bootcamp and I'm using my mac mini (october 2009) as an external optical drive. These are my steps:
1.hold the "t" on the mac mini
2.connect it to the macbook with a firewire 800 to firewire 400 cable
3.Power up and hold the "alt" on the macbook
4.I see the optical drive on the boot screen and I choose it
5.Then I get a blank screen and a few seconds later the "missing operating system" message appears.
Am I missing something? Is it possible to install win7 using a mac mini as an external drive?
PS1:I already have partitioned the HD with bootcamp.
PS2:I've upgraded the hard disk drive of the macbook with a seagate momentus 500GB hard disk. Don't think this is the problem, thought I should mentioned it.

Hi Mike,
For reference it is called "IP over Firewire".
Connect the two computers with a fire wire cable. System Preferences > Network > Configure IPv4: > Manually > IP address: 192.168.3.1 (and .2 on other) > Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0. Leave the other fields blank. Do this on both computers on the computer you want to allow access to or both for two way access go to System Preference > Sharing > Select a service to change its settings. Turn remote Login on.
On the MBP go to the Finder Menu > Go > Connect to Server > Type in the IP address of the Mini 192.168.3.2 (Whatever you gave it)
With this configuration you still have full use of the Mini and certain apps can use Xgrid and use the processor of the mini when it is not doing anything. I would keep the Mini as 10.4 unless you really need both machines running Leopard. As noted before you cannot boot the MBP from a HDD that is Apple Partition Scheme and vice versa you cannot boot the PPC from a Guide Partition Table.
