New iMac bootcamp XP sp2 no internet no audio

I'm having a bit of trouble getting my wireless connection and audio to work on XP professional sp2. I have a week old 24" iMac. I ran bootcamp, installed XP, inserted the OSX install disc1 to update the drivers, and still no internet nor audio. When I go to network settings, my wireless network is not appearing... and instead a 1394 (firewire) network is showing as active... but of course that doesn't do anything for my internet connection.
Any ideas?

I have the same problem. No audio or internet. Can't adjust the volume in the control panel because the volume control is grayed out. An active ethernet network is detected but no internet connection.
I installed Win XP Pro SP2 from an OEM disc, which I was assured is identical to the retail version (which is no longer available).
Installation via bootcamp was anything but smooth and I first thought it wouldn't work.
Used the FAT32 format.
Other info: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.16GHz white iMac; 1.5G RAM.

  • Brand new IMac can't connect to Internet while using Vista Ultimate

    The subject is pretty much it, but basically.  We just bought a brand new IMac and I happened to have an old copy of Windows Vista Ultimate lying around and wanted to partition some hard drive space for gaming.  During the installation a message popped up that said Lion only supports Windows 7.  I went through with the installation and after Windows started I loaded in my old Snow Leopard CD.  I installed the drivers and went through the set up.  Everything seemed fine, but I am unable to connect to the Internet.  I plugged my desktop in via Ethernet to my router but still no Internet.  In my device manager there are many devices, including network controller, that have yellow exclamations next to them but I don't know how to update them or where to get the drivers.  Any help would be greatly appreciated, and I would be happy to take any steps to relay more information.  Thank you!

    New motherboard. So unless you can find, and want to mess around, which is why the pdf guide and all the faqs tell you what and how to install, and that only 7 is supported.
    Vista SP1 is no longer supported even by MS.
    You have Sandy Bridge based system with Thunderbolt, hence it needed new device drivers.
    Windows 7 64-bit SP1 Home Premium System Builder is $95

  • How to install Windows XP on new iMac - Bootcamp or Parallels?

    Hi
    I'm very new to the Mac world. I just purchased a lovely new iMac.
    I would like to install my Windows XP Professional (SP3) on to my iMac.
    I purchased Parallels Desktop 5 for Mac and before I do anything, I want to know what I should do first.
    Do I install the Windows disk through bootcamp first and then install Parallels Desktop 5?
    or
    Can I bypass bootcamp all together and install Windows through Parallels?
    Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

    Parallels 6 comes out on the 14th.
    http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/10/09/09/parallelsdesktop_6_for_mac_to_launch_sept_14_with_80_newfeatures.html
    If you will never want to run Windows natively, then you don't need Boot Camp. Otherwise, install first on its own partition, get it setup, then Parallels, and only then activate. Or reactivate. After you have Parallels Tools installed.
    Really ought to check on Parallels forum.

  • New iMac won't sleep with internet sharing on

    Less than 3 month old iMac (core i5) has stoppped being able to sleep when Internet Sharing is enabled. It took me a good while to narrow it down to that but I've confirmed that when Internet sharing is off, it will sleep as it's supposed to. When sharing is on though, not only will it not automatically sleep per the energy saver setting, it wo'nt even sleep when forced with the Apple command. The display will  turn off, but the machine does not sleep. I can tell by the facts that my wifi access on my iPhone continues to run off the iMac, and the Caps lock on the keyboard remains lit. (Too bad the blinking LED is no more on the new iMacs).
    Sleep was working fine when I first got the new machine; it seems to have stopped shortly after I upgraded to Lion. (I think it may have been working for a few days after installing Lion, but I'm not positive...I'm thinking now I just thought it was asleep because the display would turn off.)
    I've looked at all the related sleep posts I could find but nothing seems to address this particular issue. I know I could just turn off sharing whenver I want it to sleep, but tha't's like having to disconnect my car battery when I want to shut the car off.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Jamie

    Well, I'm certainly no expert at this and I'd never enable internet sharing (being too concerned about the health of my Mac and/or not knowing what untoward sites/networks/people may be seeking access), but it seems to me that having it turned on means that your computer is sharing a connection, so anytime anyone on the network seeks access, it will either wake up the Mac or cause it to stay awake. Here is an excerpt from the Help Menu (in Finder) (which has nothing to do with your question, but I found it interesting nonetheless):
    If your Internet connection and your local network use the same port (Ethernet, for example), investigate possible side effects before you turn on Internet sharing. In some cases (if you use a cable modem, for example) you might unintentionally affect the network settings of other ISP customers, and your ISP might terminate your service to prevent you from disrupting its network.

  • After moving files to new iMac, an iMovie project won't play audio music tracks

    I bought new imac. Transferred files using target disk method and firewire - drag and drop.  All files appear to have moved OK to new imac.  But when I try to resume working on an imovie project that I had started on the old imac, the itunes music clips I dragged into a series of clips does not play the music, even though the green bar appears under the clips and the audio adjustments appear to be the same as in the old imac, which I still have.  The audio that is "built in" to the original clips when the videos were made on the camera are still there and play.  Help, please ?  Thanks.

    Hi
    *Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows.*
    • Delete iDVD pref file - *or rather start a new user/account* - log into this and re-try
    iDVD pref file resides.
    Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences
    and is named. com.apple.iDVD.plist
    While iDVD is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
    Now restart iDVD.
    • Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
    • Hard disk is untidy. Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
    • Program miss-match. iDVD 5.0.2, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK - DON’T work under Leopard
    • Program miss-match. iDVD 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
    • Program miss-match. iDVD’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
    • iDVD (08) v7 Locate theme folder. Move out iDVD1, iDVD 2 and eventually iDVD4 folders to desktop - re-try
    • Try a Cleaning CD/DVD that cleans the laser lens on the DVD burner/player
    iDVD 6.0.4 and iDVD 7.0.1 are compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
    Last resort. from Craig. Solved the problem!! Finally!!
    I deleted every iDVD application and folder from my boot drive,
    emptied the trash and then installed iDVD 08 using the customize option
    and I am up and running.
    If You do a re-install be sure to get rid of all iDVD old parts AND then EMPTY the Trash-basket !
    iDVD updated ?
    Apple Codec updated ?
    Start a New Clean project - or delete project assets
    No of Colors - must be set to millions

  • My new imac cannot connect to the Internet sometimes. What is the cause?

    Sometimes after I play league of legends, the iMac could not connect to the Internet anymore. Only restarting would solve he problem. What are the possible reasons for such problem?

    The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership. If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you also have 14 days from the date of delivery in which toexchange or return it for a refund.

  • My new iMac won't connect to internet, will connect to network.

    I have a 3 week old 2012 27-inch iMac and this morning I turned it on and it wouldn't connect to the internet. It connected to my home network just fine, just not the internet. I assumed it was my router's fault, but every other device in the house connected to the internet just fine. I have already tried turning it off and on again, many times, as with my router. I have also tried turning the Wi-Fi off and on in System Preferences. Any help?

  • Just ordered new iMac do I still need a modem/router for Internet access

    Just  converted to apple,ordered a new IMAC but little confused on Internet access.
    does the extreme still need a modem/router,just a little confused after reading all the comments about poor connections etc.
    Old windows soldier sorry if a little vague .

    The AirPort Extreme is a router, but it is not a modem. You still need your existing cable or DSL modem. That device is usually supplied by your ISP and may or may not include the functions of a router.

  • Permanent loss of Internet connection on new iMac - old G3 works fine

    After 1 month new iMac won't connect to Internet. (Cable modem/ethernet) All usual procedures tried - powering off modem/unplugging connection etc/rebooting. Network connections show valid addresses etc and modem shows correct lights - even sending/receiving!
    Reconnecting old G3 works immediately! So can't be problem with ISP or cable modem.
    Any ideas please?

    Update for anyone reading the first post.
    Solved the problem by archive & install 10.5 and updated again to 10.5.1 and other updates EXCEPT Security Update 2007-009 1.1 which I installed yesterday and coincided with accessing the net problem!
    Question - now to install this Security Update?!

  • Why does it take a really, really, really long time to download updates on my brand new iMac?

    Brand new iMac.

    It depends on our internet connection...
    Speedtest.net - The Global Broadband Speed Test
    If your download speed is less than 15Mbps, you may want to contact your ISP to discuss upgrades.
    Re:  your new iMac, running v10.8.4 Mountain Lion
    If at some point you need to repair the startup disk, or reinstall OS X, Apple recommends a broadband high speed internet connection for accessing About OS X Recovery
    Macs no longer come with install discs so it's important to have a high speed connection to access OS X Recovery.

  • Can i install Windows XP on new iMac 2013 to use quickbooks

    I have just bought a new iMac 2013  and need to use my Windows Quickbooks programme for our small business. I understand that I can use Bootcamp to  install my Windows XP and then Quickbooks 2010/11.
    Is it true that the new iMac  Bootcamp no longer supports Windows XP?  I realistically only use the Quickbooks every 3 months. What is my best solution to be able to use Quickbooks on my new iMac

    No. Boot Camp only supports Windows 7 or Windows 8. If you want to use XP, then you will need to use virtualization software such as:
    Windows on Intel Macs
    There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
         1. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business,
             Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  Parallels is software
             virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently
             with OS X.
         2. VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate,
             or Windows 7.  VM Fusion is software virtualization that
             enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
         3. CrossOver which enables running many Windows
             applications without having to install Windows.  The
             Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
         4. VirtualBox is an Open Source freeware virtual machine such
             as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.
             It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM
             Fusion.
    Note that VirtualBox, Parallels, and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc.  There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization.  The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech Labs- Virtualization Benchmarks, January 2013 | MacTech for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
    You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

  • New iMac running lion 10.7.2...partitioned drive for  windows xp pro ...successfully installed...up and running(duel boot) but no internet connection on windows side...need drivers?.....please help

    new imac running lion 10.7.2     partitioned HD for duel boot and successfully installed windows xp pro (sp2)....have internet through eithernet cable on the mac side but no internet connection on the windows side....need drivers????   please help

    I too am running xp spiii on my mac with lion. However I installed xp while running snow leopard then upgraded to lion and both are running fine. If you have the support disc that came with the imac all the relevant drivers are on there. The only other thing i would suggest is that you get spiii and upgrade to that.
    Hope that helps

  • Can't get on the internet with my new Imac.

    My new Imac arrived yesterday. It has Tiger installed and a Leopard disk in the box. I had already downloaded my usb broadband modem's drivers for Tiger 10.4.5 from my Isp and thought it would be a simple matter to install them. No chance! They won't work. It's running Tiger 10.4.10. The modem doesn't sync up and the computer says it doesn't exist. Then I had the bright idea of upgrading to Leopard and using Boot Camp to install Windows XP. Big mistake! I've only got an ancient XP upgrade disk and you need a full SP2 one. But of course I didn't find that out untill I'd put the disk in the superdrive. So now it's stuck in there. Every time I switch the computer on it just boots into the windows setup. Pressing F3 just reboots it into Windows setup. Does anybody know how I can get that cd out of my drive? And how do I get on the internet? My usb modem and it's driver works fine on an old powerbook running Panther.

    Hello again Nevertheless,
    Probably! - Possibly! Almost certainly! Hmmm...
    Belkin equipment has caused more problems than it had solved ( in my experience only )
    Netgear equipment has solved all the problems I have, so far, encountered.

  • Bootcamp issue with new iMac

    Hi - I just purchased a new 21.5 inch iMac with Intel Core i7.  I used Bootcamp to partition a new drive, and I installed 32bit Windows 2007 Home Premium.  Everything worked without a problem, until I tried to install Bootcamp in the Windows environment.  It says that "the version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you are running".  I searched the forums for similar issues - I tried to re-download the Bootcamp update in OSX; I tried to use the command prompt to go right to the msi file, and nothing worked.  Unfortunately, I cannot connect to the internet through Windows until I instal all the drivers, so I am stuck.
    Does anyone know if the Bootcamp drivers are supported on the new iMac i7?

    Hi, ta know, they don't mention it here, but I'm wondering if 10.8 might not require 64 bit Win7?
