My MacBook Pro 13" (2012) is running Windows 7 on Bootcamp and there is an issue with the headset I'm using.

My MacBook Pro 13" (2012) is running Windows 7 on Bootcamp and there is an issue with the headset I'm using. I use a cheap Logitech Stereo Headset H130, but since there is only on audio plugin on the computer, I purchased a 3.5 mm 4-pin smartphone audio adapter thingy. That allowed me to put both my the sound coming to my headset & the microphone on my headset onto one wire. Everything worked wonderfully when running the Mac OS since they probably have support for that kind of stuff. The problem is though that once I try to use the same method in Windows 7, the OS doesn't recognize my headset microphone at all, but, instead when recording my voice decides to use the built-in mac microphone. Using this adapter still allows me to hear from my headset, but not use the microphone and that becomes a problem. It might be so that Windows 7 doesn't have support\drivers for that... How should I continue from here on out? Any advice?

From what I have read from others on here you may be out of luck. You would need the appropriate Windows drivers for the Cirrus chip in the Mac and no one has been able to successfully locate them. Apple wouldn't support this since Windows is an optional install.
Sorry to bring the bad news.

Airplay mirroring.
Macbook 2012 retina display. Unable to see desktop on television, audio works perfectly. Both OS on ATV and Mac are running latest versions.
Firewall set correctly (allow incoming...)
When I click mirroring to turn it on, teh Apple TV screen goes blank (from its home setting)
Any help appreciated.

Hi!
I figured it out! It was a firewall issue.
I use Handsoff and I checked it before i wrote here. There was no "user defined rule" that denied the communication but when i changed to "All rules" the program displayed several rules regarding AppleTV and its IP.
So if anybody has the same problem make sure you see all rules of your firewall and get rid of the AppleTV related rules generated by the program itself. You dont need to update to the latest iOS on the AppleTV!
I hope that I can help some people with this info to fix the problem.

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.

I am trying to connect my macbook pro to a windows 7 server pc.

I am trying to connect my macbook pro to a windows 7 server pc. I keep getting a connection failed message saying "The server is available on your computer. Access the volumes and files locally". Any ideas on how to resolve this? I cannot find the the volumes or know where to look for this volume

Depends on your model TV. Read your TV user manual. The newer models have "how to hookup" instructions for computer & games.
You can also do a forum search as well as a Google search.

I cannot send an email with attachment from elements 11 via windows live mail 2012 on my windows 8.1 pc. Can anyone help?

I am using elements 11, windows live mail 2012 on a windows 8.1 PC. When trying to attach an elements 11 image to an email via the sharing option in Organizer, I get a message that the email message cannot be completed, and to try Adobe mail. I have set preferences to windows live mail, but no success.

Hi,
With Windows 8, the new message sometimes hides in the taskbar
When you see the spinning circle, look at the taskbar to see if the Windows Live Mail has grown another task. Hover over the icon on the taskbar to shown the two images, right click on the right hand image and then select maximize. That should show the message ready for sending.
Good luck.

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.

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.

Getting "setup.exe has stopped working" message when trying to install labview 2011 or 2012 on a windows 7 machine

I am getting a "setup.exe has stopped working" message when trying to install labview 2011 or 2012 on a windows 7 machine. I already tried running setup.exe as an administrator with the same results. I have Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.1 installed on the affected machine. Could this be the cause of this issue? Or does someone know the root cause of such error?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi - are you getting it at the start of installation, during or after 100% progress has finished?
Is it just LabVIEW you're installing, or is it drivers too, in which case, what was the last large package that was installing at the time?
This could be caused by the NVIDIA chipset driver :

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.

SCCM 2012 R2 and Windows 8.1

Hi,
I have installed SCCM 2012 R2. SCCM client deployed on 10 PCs and I can explore Hardware resources on all PCs except 1 PC which is 8.1
so my question now does SCCM 2012 R2 supports 8.1?
Thanks,
Kareem Behery

Hi,
Yes, ConfigMgr 2012 R2 supports Windows 8.1. Check the Windows 8.1 computer to make sure that the SCCM client is operational and sends in Inventory to the Site server. Inventpryagent.log file on the computer is a good place to start.

Hyper-v cannot boot Gen2 guest from Windows 2012 R2 or Windows 8.1 x64 ISO - file format not supported, Gen1 works fine

I am new to Gen2 Hyper-V and so far I simply can't use it, because I am unable to install any (supported) guest OS from an ISO ...
So far I tried that on:
1. my HP Z230/i4770 workstation (Secure Boot disabled) host running Windows 8.1 Pro x64 (with Hyper-V feature enabled), can't boot any VM with supported OS ISO.
2. my home desktop/i3770K (secure Boot enabled) host running Windows 8.1 Pro x64, same result, error during VM boot from ISO, quoted below.
Synthetic SCSI controller (instance blah blah) Failed to Power on with Error 'The version does not support this version of file format'
Gen1 guests of course work perfectly fine with those ISOs, because emulated DVD IDE picks up the official Enterprise Evaluation ISO of either Windows Server 2012 R2 or Windows 8.1 x64 Enterprise, perfectly fine and all works OK in Legacy boot mode.
When I create a new guest and select Gen2, then no matter if I check or uncheck the Secure Boot in virtual Boot Order options for the guest (while setting the SCSI DVD at top of course), it simply doesn't work, always same error. I tried first connecting
to VM to see if it prompts for key press, but it doesn't, the error is instant on Power on when (supported) ISO image is selected to be booted.
I verified that both of official Enterprise Evaluation ISO's of either WS2012r2 and W8.1x64 are bootable in both the UEFI mode (Secure Boot enabled) and Legacy BIOS mode using a physical computer.
What am I missing here???

FYI, above is wrong! it's not about linking ISO to virtual DVD or selecting "Install OS later", it's all about the location of the ISO file and share permissions on parent folder!
I was actually suspecting several issues, but haven't had time to test it, was thinking about issues like assigning (or not) some of initial settings during Gen2 VM creation, e.g.:
-Network connection through virtual switch or Not Connected (make no different if assigned or not)
-Memory above 4096MB (makes no difference if < or > 4096MB)
-ISO file location (makes huge difference!)
The ISO file CANNOT be placed on network share OR in shared folder on same local drive as the VHDX file (works fine if parent folder is not shared).
I can now replicate the issue easily every time and it always fails with file format unsupported message whenever I have the ISO file located either on remote network share, or (fails the same way too) when I have the ISO file placed locally (on host drive)
when simply a parent folder is shared... must be some permissions issue... and a pretty dumb one considering that in production environments nearly everything is placed on remote file servers ...
... so the moral of the story is, if you want to install Gen2 VM in win8/2012 hyper-V then you must copy the ISO file to Hyper-V host drive AND make sure the parent folder is not shared. works every time now! :)

MacBook Pro (Early 2011) - Windows 8.1 Bootcamp

Hey,
Just wanted to share with you some information if you have this version of MacBook Pro and you want to install Windows 8.1 in NON-EUFI mode. (The reason you might want to do this is because the graphics and sound drivers have problems in EUFI mode which means you won't be able to get the most out of your system).
You cannot install Windows 8.1 in NON-EUFI mode if you install from a USB drive. You need to install Windows 8.1 from a DVD and choose the "Windows" option during boot, not the EUFI option.
Hopefully this will save you a couple of hours of your life.
After installing the newest Boot Camp package, I recommend you go to AMD website and get their newest Boot Camp drivers, after I did this i could suddenly use the Catalyst Control Centre, which I was unable to previously.
Also go into Power Options and disable adaptive brightness (google how to do that) otherwise your screen might go kinda dark (NOTE: Do _not_ try to make it brighter before you have installed the Boot Camp drivers, or you might end up with a totally black screen every time windows boots).
Enjoy!
/Marc

Hello,
I have the same mouse and after searching a solution, I found this article:
http://superuser.com/questions/814156/hp-bluetooth-mouse-works-in-osx-on-macbook -but-not-in-windows-8-1-boot-camp
You only need to unpair the Mouse from your Mac System, Reboot to Windows Boot Camp and pair the Mouse...
Now you can pair again on Mac OS and "voilà", your mouse can now work's in both Systems...
For me, it works!

Can I get my macbook on to a windows network?

Hi, I was wondering if i could use my mid 2009 macbook on my dads windows 7 home network. He has the network already set up, and has enabled printer sharing and some of the other options. I wanted to know because it would be very handy if i could print documents and other various items from my macbook, without putting it on a usb drive and crossing it over, and my dad does not like me using his computer very much .
Thanks, Travis
