MBA thunderbolt VGA projector with windows 7 in bootcamp not working

Hi,
I'm the happy owner of a Macbook Air I7 with a thunderbolt port. Everything works fine in Macos. However for my job i'm dependent on Livemeeting and visio, so when I use the MBA in the workplace i run Windows7 genuine in bootcamp. All works well, except using a projector or beamer. It just does not connect. I know I can use parallels, which works fine, but I want to use windows7 for presentations via bootcamp as well.
Anyone have the same problem, or better yet a solution? I am running at the latest drivers and the fact that all goes well in Macos shows that's it's not an hardware issue. I appriciate any help to get the problem fixed.
Who want to run Win7 on a macbook anyway ;-)

Would love to see a reply to this. It's really ******* me off - sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. I'm very close to ditching Apple for good -iOS is a joke (Siri anybody?), and you get better performance in OSX from a machine that costs 1/3 of the price.

Autodesk Revit on Yoga 3 Pro with Windows 8.1 not working

I have just started working with my new Yoga 3 PRO with Windows 8.1, and have found that it has compatibility problems with Autodesk Revit (2014 & 2015). This is perhaps a graphic driver issue.
Does anyone know of any solutions/updates that will resolve this? Or a way to communcate this back to Lenovo?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I have been running Revit 2014 very successfully for months now - There is
probably a limit to the size of projects that will run efficiently on 8GB
of RAM, but most small/medium size project will be fine.
I love it!

DaRT with Windows 8.1 not working on some machines

Problem: x64 bit DaRT8/801/8.1 not recognizing the OS and utlities are greyed out/unavailable on some machines.
System: Windows 8.1 x64
Steps taken:
Tried different DaRT toolset versions, set BIOS SATA operation to different modes, tried both UEFI and Legacy mode secure boot mode off/on, created the DaRT image with Windows 8 installation media and Windows 8.1, tested the DaRT boot iso on Virtual Machines
and it worked, all the utilities available.
Eventually gave up and booted into MiniXP from Hirens boot CD and reset the local account password with NTpass tool.
Why would DaRT work on some machines and not on others?

How was the SATA configured originally? If it was configured for RAID/AHCI and the DaRT disk does not have the RAID/AHCI driver the operating system may not be detectable, even if the mode is changed in the firmware.

Zen touch, crashing with Windows XP professional, not working with Windows media pla

i will start with an apology if someone has posted this up before i have just had a quick look and could not see any think about this.
if i turn my computer on with out running any other programs and connect the zen touch the computer automatically turn on the zen touch media player program. this work's fine as long as no other programs are running.
i have tried to work the zen touch with Windows media player but this dose not work and the computer crashes every time.
i have window xp professional and have all up dates from Windows. my computer is very new and has more then enough memory and ram.
please can you help. i am not to happy with the zen touch computer program and would like to know how to fix this problem.
thank you for your help

I wonder if there are problems here associated with the use of the zen touch on SP2 machines. Interestingly I cannot transfer music from my PC to my Zen 20gb on a SP2 machine but I can do so on my sisters machine which has got SP. Obviously having the lastest firmware is a good idea though but I believe there are issues associated with SP2 and as you say you have all the latest updates to windows perhaps the problem lies there. Sorry if this doesn't help you at all

Remote disc sharing with windows 7 pc not working

I bought Photoshop Elements to put on my MacBook Air. Since I could get a better price from Amazon than Adobe, I ordered the cd version and recieved it in the mail. I was planning to either use a product key to download it or use remote disc sharing. Unfortunately, Adobe doesn't let you download the software with a product key without paying $80 for it. So that leaves me with using remote disc sharing, but that doesn't seem to be working, either. When I open Finder, I can connect to my Windows 7 PC no problem. But when I click on Remote Disc, nothing is there. It is just blank white; no computers or files are available. I tried using other cd's to see if it was a problem with Photoshop, but nothing works. I also reinstalled the Remote Disc software on my PC several times and have clearly activated it. I really don't want to pay $50 to call Apple, only to have them tell me that I need to pay to download Photoshop online. Also, since I already opened the Photoshop box, I won't be able to get hardly anything for it on eBay. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi. I have set up the trial versions of Photoshop CC 2014 and Lightroom 5.6 (ie the Photography plan) on a desktop that I have added a new drive to with Windows 7. Everything works fine BUT it is an old computer and I'm thinking that it may pack up unexpectedly. These things happen. I want to sign up for the Photography plan but I also have a Windows Vista laptop, and that is old too so I may want to put the apps on a new desktop and a new laptop, having already installed on my desktop. That makes three activations. Am I allowed to do this? Cheers. Paul

You cannot have three activations. It's simply not technically possible. If and when the time comes, you simply deactivate/ sign out on one of the old systems and install on the new one. If the system goes belly up, you contact support to reset your account. No need to make it more complicated than that and overthink it.

Then it sounds like the FW800 to 400 adapter just gets in the way. You don't have FW800 case? on my MDD G4 I added and used FW800 controller and cases from OWC and Sonnet.

My HP Pavilion p7-1439 with Windows 8 will not add Bluetooth Devices.

My HP Pavilion p7-1439 with Windows 8 will not add Bluetooth Devices. I ran all available updates using HP Assistant. The BT devices work with Laptop, iPhone, Surface and Ipad but not the HP Desktop. I can access the Add Device button and the system searches but never finds any BT devices. Any thoughts?

Hi NumberTumbler,
I would like to help you with your Bluetooth issue.
In this document Understanding Bluethooth Wireless Technology go to the section "Setting up a Bluetooth Device" for detailed information about setting up Bluetooth devices on your computer.
Let me know if this helps or if you need any further assistance.

Purchased MacBook Pro with windows which will not now open b/c no license number.

This is not a Mac/Apple issue. You need to contact the seller and ask where the Windows XP product key is.

Hi there, I have a problem with my iPod Classic (from 2009). Everytime I connect it to my computer (Windows), iTunes does not work anymore. Music is automatically deleted on my iPod. Any suggestions please?

Hi there, I have a problem with my iPod Classic (from 2009). Everytime I connect it to my computer (Windows), iTunes does not work anymore. Music is automatically deleted on my iPod. Any suggestions please?

Thanks, for info, iPod Classic is a slower machine compared the Nano, unfortunately, if you read these discussions, majority of the freezes involved iTunes 10. Although if might be just slow and some impatient user just disconnect the iPod ands cause more problems. ( Yes I also did that but safely by doing a iPod Hard Reset, before disconnecting).
Here is the Apple support article that may help you.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1717
or my usual solution for Windows Users.
Antivirus has a tendency to freeze iTunes sync Operation with iPod Classic, causing a timeout, which corrupt your iPod filesystem, so when iTunes can't read the iPod, it is pointing to this problem. Other causes is when your iPod hardisk is dying, or your battery is dying causing hardisk crashes.
My suggestion.
Connect your iPod to the PC and run chkdsk, to fix any iPod diskerror, then disconnect it, after chkdsk complete.
Disconnect your PC from Internet. (just to make sure no nasties creep into your system while you syncing.
Stop the Antivirus program
Connect your iPod to the PC, using a high speed USB 2.0 port at the back of your PC, do not use any USB Hub.
When iTunes Open up, Restore your iPod please, this is for iTunes to map correctly, to fix the corrupted filesystem.
When Restore complete, eject the iPod and reconnect again.
Sync your ipod, preferably manually Manage in small batches and disconnect after every batch, to check that all is well.
When all sync is complete, and iPod disconnected, start back your Antivirus and connect back the Internet.
Good Luck!

Windows update does not work after using System recovery disk

I have a Toshiba Satellite c655 with WIndows 7 64 bit Home premium. The hard drive died on it, so I purchased a new hard drive and purchased the appropriate Recovery media from Toshiba. I followed the directions and installed the 3 disks on to the new hard drive. But Windows update does not work I get the following error: Windows update can not currently check for updates, because the service is not running. You may need to restart your PC    No matter what I try, I can not get it to work. And it will not let me install Windows Defender either. Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time on this matter.

I have installed the agent 10 or 15 times and one installation has failed, no error appeared during the installation but I am having inconsistent issues with my ethernet card not working here and there. We rebooted and can log into Novell client but the login prompt did not appear for ESM client or the icon was not in the systray. Everything seems to work, besides at times (a couple times today) it terminates his ethernet card/connection. I would re-image his computer but he has several applications and it would take several hours, so I am hoping someone has an idea to fix this issue. So I was trying to figure out why he did not get the prompt to login and why it's not in the systray and it appears to not have completed the install? I checked the add/remove programs, its not listed within their, I also checked the registry and found nothing for endpoint within their, but the files are within c:\program files\novell\zenworks endpoint security.
I have also tried uninstalling it but that fails due to it "not being installed", and it will not reinstall over itself either.
I did notice that stuninstdrv.exe is running in task manager. Any help would be great...

If you are searching the registry, check for the "Senforce" string. It should be at HKLM\Software\Senforce
Try running the install program for the ZSC with the following command line:
setup.exe /V"STUNINSTALL=1"
If you've specified an uninstall password, try this one instead:
setup.exe /V"STUNINSTALL=1 STUIP=password"" (please note the double quote at the end)
Let me know if that helped you.
