No sound on windows 7 ultimate, but it has worked before!
Hi, I'm using a macbook air OS X Mountaint Lion (10.X.X <- not sure about those numbers since I'm on the windows 7 atm) and I've tried to install windows 7 ultimate(32-bit) a couple of times, and the very few first times it did work, installing it, and getting the sound and internet, everything working.
But when I realized I didn't have enough space and had to re-do it, I removed windows 7 again and re-installed it, this happend a couple of times because I needed 50gb, but ended up having about 45 everytime I finished installing windows 7.
And for some reason I just couldn't open set-up.exe anymore through my USB with the boot camp support software in it. Note, it did work before, but after a few re-installations, whenever I try to open the set-up.exe this is what shows up : This version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running.
I mean it has worked before, I did exactly like all the other times, but I did notice one change from the first times and to the times where errors started occuring. It was that when I'm installing windows, I get to choose between windows 7, basic, and all the other ones, including windows 7 ultimate. But the very first times I installed windows it automatically chose Windows 7 Ultimate, I couldn't chose which one I wanted.
I've tried to install boot camp support softwares through apple's website on the download page, I've tried 4 different and only one, almost worked. I could open the set-up halfway and and then somehow I couldn't install anything, so I decided to try and open all the maps and install the softwares manually, which provided me with internet atleast, some worked some did not work such as Nvidia. But I need the sound! Help me?

Can you check the USB that you built with BC Assistant or manually from Bootcamp downloads to see what you have?
For my model, using System requirements to install Windows on your Mac via Boot Camp - Apple Support, I get Boot Camp Support Software 5.1.5621.

I can only get the sound going when mirroring through my macbook. it worked before but now suddenly only sound comes through. There's no problem mirroring my iphone or my ipad. then i get sound and picture. it must be a setting. what have i done and how do i sort it out?
when mirroring the screen just goes black.I am having a similar problem, that has just started recently. I am on OS 10.5.8 with all security updates run. My Mail account is an IMAP account. When I check my mail through webmail on Safari, my new messages show up immediately. However, Mail does not show them. Clicking the "check mail" button does not bring them in. I have to quit Mail and re-start it, then the messages show.
I tried to implement Ernie's solution of turning off "Use IDLE". That command is ticked in my preferences, however it is greyed out and I can't change it. Why is that? If it helps, my IMAP path prefix is blank, I'm using port 133, and "use SSL" is not ticked. These are all default settings that I have used successfully for years and haven't fiddled with. -
My itunes has stopped playing music. I recently downloaded more music and now it has stopped playing, it says it is playing but there is no sound and the time bar does not move from 0. I have uninstalled all apple apps on my laptop and reinstalled and then updated the software. I have tried 'repair' aswell but nothing has worked.
Songs in the itunes store are also not working

Somehow my nano now lost all its music so now its empty! Also, before windows used to recognize my ipod and i'd get a pop up saying "open to view files" but now I don't even get that anymore. I have also tried syncing it by putting them in disk mode but NOTHING has worked. I am getting so frustrated.
I followed all of the "steps" on the apple support page but none of that has worked too. PLEASE help me because I literally feel like just throwing my ipods out the window. I never had this problem before.When you connect your iPod to your PC, what appears on the iPod's display? Does the iPod charge when you have it plugged into the PC?
Are you running the latest version of iTunes (10.6.3)? It wouldn't hurt to also make sure your Windows OS has all of the latest patches and updates as well.
I assume you have plugged the iPod ino different USB ports located directly on your PC and tried using another 30 pin dock connector cable to rule out the possibility of a bad cable?

I have been able to open files from this camera before but still checked for latest Camera Raw download. Still won't open files from this camera. Opens files from my 60D just fine. I downloaded the latest and it has worked before. What the heck is going on?
Glad to be of help. But I'm curious (not critical of what you are doing) to know why so many people like to use Nikon Transfer to transfer their files to the computer. It is still necessary to import them into Lightroom. And, from my perspective, it seems simpler and maybe even a little quicker to use the Lightroom import dialog. I have Nikon cameras, and have never even installed the Nikon Transfer utility. What is so unique about it?

The enter key is not working in firefox but it has working fine in chrome and IE so please help me to rid out from this.
Hello gokulaan, '''try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you. -
My iPhone 4 started to update but got stuck in recovery mode. I've tried everything anyone on the website has told me to do, but nothing has worked. When you go to turn it on, it shows the Apple symbol, then it goes to the connect to iTunes screen. When I do that, it just says error with the code 9006. I've followed what the Apple site has said to do for it, but the phone is still is the same state. Is there anything I can do? I need my phone back as soon as possible.
Hello Hester Emily,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
I'm sorry to hear about the difficulties you're experiencing after this update process. I found the following article that has more information on the iTunes error code 9006:
Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
Configure your security software
Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006, 9807, or 9844. Sometimes as a result of this issue, a device might stop responding during the restore process.
Check your security software and settings, which can block ports and prevent connection to Apple servers during update and restore.
Take care,
Alex H. -
When I launch the app store, I get "minecraft." It will not allow me to return to the "featured" menu. I've tried rebooting / killing the app, but nothing has worked. Any insight?
I have also tried the fixes offered in this forum such as using the "Other" mail in setting up the gmail accounts, and not using the dedicated gmail setting. I also went to google and signed in and enable the additional devices. I had the same problems with the original account I set up for gmail, but it corrected when i went to using the "Other" instead of the Gmail button. I was able to set up the new gmail accounts on my iphone without problem and on my husband's ipad1 for his gmail account. Just the ipad 2 is giving me problems. Again, thanks for any suggestions.

My computer is saying that I am not in the US and so I am unable to view shows, Youtube, etc. I've gone under the location settings and put US several times but nothing has worked. What should I do?
It may not be your computer telling you this, it is probably the company providing the shows to you over the Internet. If that is the case, no setting on your computer can change it because the media company is going by your network address (IP address), which is where your Internet modem (cable or DSL) connects to the outside Internet. If the location of your Internet connection appears to be outside the US (even if it is mistake), media companies that distribute shows under contracts with geographical restrictions may lock you out.
If you use a service like a VPN service, you may have the ability to use IP addresses from other countries so that you can appear to be connecting from there. But it takes some setting up. -
My screen freezes after a few seconds on my iphone 5c and the display fades slightly so you can see faint lines in the background. I'm not sure whether this is easily fixable or a major problem. Have reset the device, but this has worked. Any ideas?
To make sure that this is not software related, set it up as new device, explained in this article:
How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups -
And disconected the plug many times, but nothing has worked. I'm in Brazil and bought the phone
My iPhone 4 is interpreting that the headset is conected even if it isnt. I've already reset it, conected and disconected the plug many times, but nothing has worked. I'm in Brazil and bought the phone in Canada. Does it have a garantee? Is there anything I'm missing in adjusting my iPhone?
It may not be your computer telling you this, it is probably the company providing the shows to you over the Internet.

It has been on this black screen with the apple logo and some small white writing at the top of the screen for many hours. I've tried rebooting it and connecting to iTunes but nothing has worked.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!It likely means there was still water inside it and something has now shorted out and permanently damaged one or more components. THE very worst thing you can do with wet electronics is energize them - even a small drop of water inside on any of the circuitry or electrical contacts can cause catastrophic damage.
Take it to Apple for a free evaluation, but most likely you will need to replace it. For the out of warranty fee ($269.00 USD) you will get a refurbished replacement (like new, with a factory new screen and battery). An out of warranty replacement will also re-instate your remaining warranty, or 90 days warranty, whichever is longer. -
My new iphone4 won't connect to the app store or iTunes. It says cannot connect to iTunes. But I logged into the game center and onto this web sit. I tryed some fixes on here but nothing has worked. Suggestions?
HI again Andy,
The last message had some more stuff in between the "Hello" and "Regards" - I have no idea what happened to it. But nevermind...
I started up the Mini with the modem in one usb, and the speaker system in the other (M-Audio Sonica Theatre) - I have one of the Minis that have only 2 USB (and one FireWire) ports. The firewire has the external drive connected to it.
So far, as I"m typing this, I AM able to be online and use iTunes simultaneously. (both SaFari and iTunes respond slower than if I was using only one or the other, but they ARE actually working - in addition to having Adium running) - So I think what you suggested ( that is was something wonky was the USB hub) was a correct, yet assessment.
Would you have any reccommendations for USB hubs? The only thing that I have connected to the hub under normal circumstances that would be constantly "running" would be the RadioShark (even though the Radio soft isn't playing - the blue light on the RadioShark is always on) - and the speakers naturally. Everything else is of the occassional variety - iPod Sync Cable, Dual Layer External DVD Burner, and a "pass thu" to the USB ports on my Hard Drive Enclosure (which had been unplugged before the problem was noticed). The hub I current use is the
Kensington DomeHub USB 2.0 (7 ports) Weighted Hub 33118 http://www.amazon.com/Kensington-DomeHub-ports-Weighted-33118/dp/B0002FHENE/ref= sr16/002-4275642-8664817?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1187848108&sr=8-6
which (I thought) worked better than the "throwaway" ones I had used previously.
You think it is the hub or something connected to it that may be causing the problem?
Regardless, thank you for your time, and I hope to hear from you soon. -
No external sound in Windows Vista Ultimate, using Leapord Boot Camp
I'm using a mac pro. I had this problem pre-leopard, and I thought leopard would possibly fix it, but it hasn't. The only sound I get when I'm in Windows comes out of the internal speaker. The externals don't work . But, they do work in OS X, so I know it's not the speakers. I tried re-installing the drivers, and that didn't work.
In device manager, the realtek High Definition Audio device looks to be installed correctly.And in Vista don't forget to change the audio output in Vista itself.
Go into the control panel and choose the sound panel.
There are 3 tabs with each their audio out, make sure to choose the right audio output one and set it as default. -
Windows 7 Ultimate, But no flash player?
I've got Windows 7 Ultimate Edition, and in the last several days I've noticed my Adobe Flash Player has not been working...I try to redownload, it just won't install, it seems. I could not get it to work! It's SO frustrating! Help Me! Please!
Thanks!
~joey~Hi,
Do you have any anti virus software installed in your computer? If you do, make sure you check the list for blocked content for Internet Purposes and programs that may also be in that category.
There are several users thatare having the same problem. Is Flash not working at all for any website? Or just specific ones?
The best thing to do is to contact Adobe Support:
