No sound when running Windows, after installing Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit-Macbook Pro

As the title states I can't get any sound, no matter what configuration I try, when I run Windows. I used the latest version of Lion and the latest version of Bootcamp when installing Windows 7 via bootcamp. I have completed all available Windows updates as well, and still no luck. Mac side, the sound works perfectly. I've been online for hours searching for a solution and I'm running short on possible solutions and patience. So any help or suggestions are would be helpful and greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

  • I am now running Windows 7 Ultimate on my Macbook Pro and the through VMware Fusion Software and I have a few questions about the ins and outs.

    So far I have a few kinks to work out. While running Internet Explorer 8, I get the error message, " Cannot connect to the internet." In Networks on the control panel, it says that I am connected to a local area public network but there is no internet access. How do I establish a connection to my existing network which works with the mac os? Also, of course, programs like Adobe, Quick Time Player, and uTorrent/bitorrent are already installed on my computer. Do I have to download them again on windows or can I import them or share them somehow?

    I am about to run specialized GIS software that may or may not need the full machine resources. I am an attorney who uses QuickBooks for my accounting. The Mac version does not do as much as the Windows version. This is from both Apple and Quick Books professionals. I am using Parallels Desktop version 8 at this time. It does not support QuickBooks Windows version per Parallels. Any other questions? I am a highly competent PC user who is new to Macs. I am entitled to my own configuration choices. That said, I know when I need help which is now.
    As to the free space issue I have 665.18 GB free space out of 749.3 GB on the drive. I am not trying to run the 32 bit version. I know that it requires the 64 bit version. Besides, it does not get that far in the process. As I said Boot Camp asssitant terminates unexpectedly as soon as you hit the continue button after setting the partition size. Therefore I conclude that it does not have a chance to see which version of Windows that I am using. I am using Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit version in the virtual engine (to use Parallels speak), but again Boot Camp would not see that since it is not running. It can't run at the momenet because Apple just installed a new hard drive and I have just restored the data from TIme Machine and Parallels needs reactivated, which I have not done yet deliberatley. With all of this addtiional information do you have any further suggestions? Thanks for your time and interest my issue.

  • HT5639 Will running windows with bootcamp effect my macbook pro's overall speed

    Will running windows with bootcamp effect my macbook pro's overall speed ?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    In some cases, there may be slowness in OS X because of the lack of free space. However, you shouldn't note this and in most of cases, performance is the same in Windows and OS X after installing Windows, more in the case of a MacBook Pro with Retina display.
    The only thing you have to worry is to give Windows the necessary space. The MacBook Pro with Retina display hasn't got a lot of storage

  • I have a MacBook Pro Late 2011 and I'm wondering if I install Windows 7 Ultimate to this MacBook Pro with this Full Retail Version. And if so, which bit to use either 32-bit or 64-bit since I have both disks.

    I have a MacBook Pro Late 2011 and I'm wondering if I install Windows 7 Ultimate to this MacBook Pro with this Full Retail Version. And if so, which bit to use either 32-bit or 64-bit since I have both disks.

    64 bit.
    32 bit won't use all your computer's ram.
    64 bit allows you to run 32 bit programs
    Your computer is 64 bit
    New programs use 64 bit.
    There is no reason to use the 32 bit version of Windows.

  • Disconnect sound when running windows 7 on macbook pro 15"

    First of all, here are some of my computer specifications:
         Using macbook pro 15"
         Mountain Lion OS X
         Windows 7
    When I use windows 7, I occasionally here the disconnect sound as if I'm removing something from the USB port.  This happened more frequently this evening when I switched from using the mac operating system to the windows operating system using bootcamp.  I have had my computer for a month, and this has just recently started happening.  I have run upgrades for both the mac side and the windows side on the 24th of October.  I take good care of my computer and have not done anything to cause harm to the USB ports.  Please help.

    I have exactly the same Macbook Pro as yours but mine has the matte screen. I bought mine in September 2006 but it is classed by Apple as the 'early 2006' Macbook Pro because they released the 'late 2006' Macbook Pro in October 2006, a few weeks after I bought mine :@. As I said in my post, http://discussions.info.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2307301&tstart=0 , Windows 7 is working fine on my Macbook Pro, so it should work on yours. Good luck!

    Many thanks.
    With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:
    Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
    (If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

    This is s SQLNET error.
    You can search for it on OTN using the search button.
    IT usually means that the tnsnames.ora file was changed. Or that you are now using another tnsnames.ora.

  • Im trying to install iTunes on my friend's Dell XPS, running windows vista ultimate (32-bit), but whenever I reach the end of the install, it pops up with an error telling me:   "Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) could not be instal

    Trying to install iTunes on my Laptop, running windows 7 (64-bit), but whenever I reach the end of the install, it pops up with an error telling me:
    "Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) could not be installed. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to install system services"

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for performance issues or compatibility with third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • I can only run Windows on my Mid 2007 MacBook Pro :(

    So, a weird thing happened recently.  A friend of mine was trying to get his old PowerMac G4 working, but his DVD drive wasn't working, so I booted my computer into Target Disk mode so that we could restore his computer using my DVD drive.  After we were able to get it installed, I tried to reboot my computer back into Mountain Lion.  Upon restarting the computer, I noticed that the OS wouldn't boot.  After playing with that for a little while, I backed up my files onto another iMac (again, using Target Disk mode) and tried to reinstall the OS.  When I put in the Mountain Lion DVD and tried to boot from it, it didn't work.  So I tried my Lion disk, also didn't work.  Tried Snow Leopard and was able to get it to install, but I wasn't able to use my keyboard and mouse upon getting to the "Select Language" screen.  I finally thought "screw this" and made an appointment with an Apple Genius (who was quite helpful) at the Apple Store near me.  I showed up and we tried a bunch of things to no avail.  He ran the Apple Hardware Test and that nothing was wrong with the computer.  I did have non-apple RAM in my computer, so we tried switching that out.  No luck.  I also told him that I switched Hard Drives to another 320 GB to try and see if that was the problem. That wasn't the fix either.  After trying all of that stuff, I tried installing Windows 7, and ironically enough (since its an Mac), and it worked.  I am now using my Mid 2007 MacBook Pro with Windows 7 only and I still can't install MacOS (which I miss big time!).  The Genius said that he had never seen this before and was at a loss (couldn't think of another thing to try).  Instead of leaving it with them, I took it home with me as I needed a computer for School as I am a High School Teacher.  I also am a bit of a Computer Engineering guy (built my own computers, been installing OSes for 10 - 15 years, etc) and while I like to consider myself a modest person, I will call myself a self proclaimed expert.
    Has anyone heard / seen this happen?
    I've searched high and low on the internet for this and haven't found anything.  ****, even the Genius has never heard of anything and gave me his business card and told me to drop him a line if I am able to figure out the problem.
    I'm really hoping someone can help me shed some light on this subject as I feel like I have tried completely everything.
    Thanks in advance,
    Todd

    Take your MBP to an Apple store genius bar for a free diagnostic examination.  Since these symptoms are 'regular' and not intermittent, they should be able to determine what the problem is and the cure.

  • Installing AUTHENTIC windows 7 ultimate 64bit on Macbook Pro - ERROR, help!

    I am trying to install windows 7 ultimate 64bit (not the beta or RC, this is an authentic windows 7 DVD -- signature edition) on my macbook pro using Bootcamp. When the computer tries to reboot, i get a message that says:
    1.
    2.
    select cd-rom boot type:"
    I saw forum posts with this problem where people were using improperly burned windows 7 versions, however, this is not a burned DVD -- its authentic from microsoft. This means i cant reburn the dvd...
    Any suggestions?!

    Did you by any chance install Snow Leopard on your MacBook Pro?
    My MacBook Pro was working perfectly fine. Installed windows many times the last 2-3 years and never had problems.
    I installed Snow Leopard a couple weeks ago and since then I get this exact same error with all my Windows Install discs (ones that always worked before!).
    Whatever I do. I can't get any Windows installed anymore.
    The discs are fine, Bootcamp menu reads it and recognise it. But the moment you try boot from it you end up with the error the OP is describing!
    And all this, after I installed Snow Leopard. Restoring to previous versions of MacOSX did not help!
    So it seems that the Snow Leopard installation does something to the DVD drives on the MacBook Pro's (upgrading firmware whatever) and now it's ruined!!

  • Can I run windows xp on a new macbook pro retina display?

    I would like to know if it is possible to downgrade boot camp in order to run windows xp on the brand new macbook pro.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    The hardware of your MacBook is just not compatible with Windows XP. You won't find any computer with the specs of your Mac running Windows XP, and Apple doesn't provide Boot Camp drivers for Windows XP in your MacBook.
    Instead, what you can do is to install Windows XP on a virtual machine created with Parallels, VMware Fusion or VirtualBox. As your MacBook Pro is very powerful, you won't notice any performance difference between Boot Camp and the virtual machine unless you need Windows for things that require a good graphic card. In this case, consider the option of installing a 64-bit Windows 7 or Windows 8 version by using Boot Camp > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5634

  • Can I run Windows XP on my 2010 Macbook Pro running Lion?

    Hi,
    I have a 2010 Macbook Pro running Lion. If I install BootCamp on it can I get Windows XP CD installed? I've heard compatibility issues so I'm asking here. Thanks.

    No. BootCamp in Lion only supports Windows 7.

  • Running windows 7 only on a macbook pro

    Can anyone tell me if I can run only windows 7 on my macbook pro ?
    Will all the apple hardware like the usb, speakers, track pad etc will work properly with windows 7?

    Yes it will work, but I strongly recommend keeping a copy on a clone of the Mac operating system, in addition to the original 10.6 installer disc that came with the computer.  If you are missing that disc, call AppleCare now before they don't have stock of it since starting in October 2011, Apple no longer supplied prebundled installer discs with MacBook Pros and relied totally on the internet for software installation.  Carbon Copy Cloner or Superduper both do the job to an external hard drive and make it bootable.   You can also run Windows and Mac OS X without rebooting between one and the other using other virtualization options here:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2741
    One of the great advantages of having a Mac is native legal support of more than one operating system.

  • Running windows 7 & additional programs on macbook Pro

    Evening all,
    Im in the process of getting a new computer and very keen on finally getting on a macbook pro as do fair bit of design stuff etc(and i really want one!). Only problem is if i brought one i would also not have enough money straight away to replace my windows only programs like photoshop, indesign etc so would need to use windows on it with these programs.
    Has anyone got any experience of doing this and is the performance affected? or will using photohshop via windows 7 on boot camp(think thats the name of it) be as quick, responsive as using mac version of photoshop?.

    Mac's have been able to run MS Windows on them for several years now. You have several options for doing so, first is using Boot Camp which essentially turns your Mac into a PC. Boot Camp is included in OS X therefore the only expense you will have is for a license of MS Windows if you don't already have one. The upside is it provides the best performance, the down side is you cannot run MS Windows and OS X simultaneously. Another downside is as with any Windows machine that portion of the machine is susceptible to Virus's and other Windows malware so you need to protect it.
    There are also virtualization applications that allow you to run Windows side by side with OS X, meaning you can run both simultaneously. The most popular options are using Parallels or Fusion which are direct competitors that do the same thing. The upside of this solution is the ability to run Windows and OS X at the same time, the downside is if you are playing 3D games, doing 3D virtualization or CAD/CAM performance will be slower than a stand alone Windows machine. Again because you will be running Windows that portion of the Mac is susceptible to the same problems any Windows box is. I would think you would have excellent performance using this solution with Photoshop and would recommend taking this route. I would also upgrade your RAM to 8 GB (don't buy it from Apple though) this will help performance too.
