No wireless network on Windows 7 boot camp!

Hey fellow Mac users!
I'm having a problem that has been bothering me for the last two days... Once I partitioned my hard drive, and installed Windows 7 on one part, there's no wireless internet connection. I did insert my Mac OS X Snow Leopard DVD once I was in Windows 7 and installed the boot camp thing, which installed all of the drivers. Yet, if I unplug the ethernet cabel (which Windows 7 Troubleshooter told me too) there's no internet connection, and I can't connect to a wireless network, while on Windows 7 (it works great in Mac OS X).
BUT.. I have a clue what the problem might be (or at least whats causing it). If I go into Computer->Properties->Device Manager in Windows, I see that I have a yellow warning sign on the Network Controller, under Other devices.
But if I click the Update driver button, it says that Windows couldn't find any new driver software for this device?? Please help me .

Mr Tech,
I did insert my Mac OS X Snow Leopard DVD once I was in Windows 7 and installed the boot camp thing, which installed all of the drivers

HP LaserJet M1120 MFP will not print on wireless network with Windows 8.1 operating system

The printer worked on the wireless network with Windows 8.
I have been advised that it does not work with windows 8.1 because a driver is required. However this is not available to download.
It is ridiculous that by having the latest operating system I am unable to use the HP printer on the wireless network
When will HP have the driver to download?

Check the support site here.

Third-party NTFS software interferes with the Apple NTFS drivers, which control whether you can see the Bootcamp partition in the Startup Disk option. As a test, can you uninstall all third-party NTFS software and check System Preferences -> Startup Disk?

How do I restore data to a new mac with windows boot camp partition?

Hi
I have a new iMac and an old MBP, I'd like to copy all of the data of my old MBP to the iMac.Would doing that affect the windows boot camp partition?
and how do I do it?
right now im backing everything up on my MBP using super duper
both the MBP and the iMac are running on Lion

I am assuming the Boot Camp partition is on the old MBP and that the SuperDuper clone is on an external drive and is bootable. The Super Duper clone does not include the Boot Camp Partition.
To get the Mac Data moved you can use Migration Assistant and if you want to transfer the Boot Camp partition you would need Winclone to move/copy it to a newly created Boot Camp partition on the iMac. The SD Clone ( and a Winclone backup) is your insurance policy if some kind of difficulty arises.

Could I reinstall OS X partition keeping the windows boot camp partition?

II have a OS x partition that need reinstall. In the same hd I have a Windows Boot camp partition. The question is, could I reinstall OS X partition without affect the Windows partition?
Thanks,
Jorge.

Sometimes it works, sometimes not.
Of course you should backup both.
Q: why do you think OS X needs to be reinstalled or something?
Disk directory trouble?
Because 3rd party disk utility can do better, as well as maybe clone Mac volume so you can boot and do more repairs.
Or maybe the partition table is shot. Or bad sectors. And bad sectors can require a full format.
In a perfect world, but disk drives and systems aren't

Windows Boot Camp does not exist, you mean Boot Camp Assistant, which is a Mac program, it is the program you would use to prepare your Mac to run Windows.
You will need a 64bit retail or OEM version of Windows Home or Professional.
You will also need to read the Boot Camp Documentation thoroughly, and make a complete backup of your machine before repartitioning.

Group Policy to disable ability to turn off wireless networking in Windows 8.1 Update

I am wanting to disable the ability to turn off wireless networking in our Windows 8.1 Update clients using Group Policy. We are a school that runs classroom management software enabling the teachers to view what the students have on their screens.
Students just switch off their wireless to avoid detection. I have searched the Group Policy listings and can't find anything.
Thanks.

Hi GeoffAUS,
I can’t find a direct group policy to disable the users’ ability to turn off the wireless network in Windows 8.1.
If we just disable the display of wireless connection, we will need to additionally disable the ability that disabling the driver in device manager.
We could try the workaround to use UAC to control the wireless connection.
Go to Computer Configuration->Windows Settings->Security Settings->Local Policy->Security Options, and set the option
User Account Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for standard users.
Please make sure the computer automatically connect to Wireless.
For more information, please refer to the following article.

Will genius bar install windows (boot camp) for me?

will genius bar install windows (boot camp) for me? if so, costs?

Ask them. We don't know what your local Apple Store will do for you. It will certainly cost you their hourly charge for however many hours are involved. You may have to purchase Win8 from them but if not you must have a copy of your own.
Or you can take the time to read the Boot Camp documentation and do it yourself. Start here: Apple - Support - Boot Camp. Open Boot Camp Assistant then click on the large button on the left to print the documentation. Then read it very carefully.

Connecting to Wireless Network Using Windows in Boot Camp

Hello!
I installed Windows on my MacBook Pro, and I know how connect to the internet using Mac OS X, but I have no idea how to connect to my AirPort network in Windows. I know it must be simple, but I just don't know what to do.
Thank you!

I went to Microsoft's site and looked up how to connect to a wireless network. You have to enter the wireless address or something into Internet Explorer.
-Hope this helps!

Slim Wireless Keyboard Not Working (Boot-Camp (Windows XP SP2) Leopard

I installed Boot Camp with Windows XP SP2 on my iMac. My new slim apple wireless keyboard did not after I rebooted to finish the install. It worked when I was installing it though. My wireless mighty mouse works fine with xp.I have given my keyboard many passkeys in the bluetooth settings on windows, but it still doesn't work. I have Mac OS X Leopard. My boot camp version is 2.0. I have also tried to repair the drivers with the boot camp drivers on the leopard disk but that was unsucessful.
Help Soon, Thanks

I tried what Snackyotter did with no success. I don't really use the Caps Lock Key, or the Option Key at boot, when I want to switch to Boot-Camp and Mac OS X I just change the Boot Disk in System Preferences & vise-versa. Thanks for trying to help though. This weekend I am returning my Apple Slim Wireless Keyboard at the Apple Store. I still have the original packaging and receipt, I bought it offline and received it a few days ago. If the return doesn't go as planned and I'm stuck with this keyboard I will keep this question labeled 'unanswered'. If the return does go well I will label it solved, there is no need really to keep this topic waving around when I no longer have the Apple Wireless Keyboard. I have never EVER even thought of returning an Apple product before, wish me luck. To Apple though I must say that I am disappointed that you have had many months to fix this simple issue since this keyboard came out, but have decided not to. I will try to keep you updated. Again Thank You for your kind support.

Limited or no connectivity to wireless on XP using Boot Camp

Hi all, I need a little help!
I just installed Windows XP with SP2 on my Intel Mac using Boot Camp. Everything seemed fine until I tried to connect to my wireless network. I've installed and reinstalled all of the drivers, and I can see the driver for wireless networking, but every time I connect it tells me it has "limited or no connectivity." Any idea what to do here? Thanks!!

Denisimo posted this reply to me, and it worked!

I found this on one of the Macrumors forums on the web:
I had exactly the same situation as iBunny.
I got it working by changing the settings via Airport Utility from "WPA2 Personal" into "WPA/WPA2 Personal" and it worked. Btw, before this, I changed from channel 11 to 1, 1 to 2, 2 to 7 without success. I've kept it under channel 7 and just made the change mentioned above.
Also, under winXP, I went to Wireless Network Connection properties and filled up the preferred networks. Am not sure if this has anything to do with the problem at hand but I am now connected automatically.
The user was using a Macbook. Hope this helps.

I just changed from WEP to WPA/WPA2 Personal, and didn’t bother with the rest. That worked.

Windows/Boot Camp printer sharing with OS X

I have three Macs on a wireless network - 2 MacBooks and a MacMini. The MacMini and one of the Macbooks runs Win XP under Boot Camp. The MacMini has a USP printer attached.
I can print to this printer from both of the WinXP/BC machines and the OS X MacBook can 'see' the MacMini WinXP/BC environment and picks up the printer for setting up in printer preferences. However, the OS X MacBook cannot print to the printer. The printer is marked to be shared in the MacMini and is accessible from the WinXP/BC MacBook. The correct driver has been loaded into the printer panel on the OS X machine.
When the print command is given from the OS X machine, the printer panel shows: "Attempting to connect to host (MacMini) for printer. Connecting..." and then hangs on that.
This is a solid problem. Any ideas would be most welcomed.

There are links on this FAQ site to printer sharing under Windows etc

OS X can't connect to wireless network. Windows can?

A friend of mine has 64-bit WEP on his home router. I know WEP is bad, but it can't do WPA and he can't afford to buy another router. Anyway, I can't connect to it on OS X. After I type in the password, I get the error that it can't connect and I have the options OK or Try Again. Try Again never connects. I thought it was a weird hardware issue, with my wireless network card not being compatible with the router. But if I reboot into Windows, I connect just fine.
For the record, it's a 2WIRE DSL Modem + Wireless Router (HomePortal 1000HW to be exact).
I thought it was my OS X, because I've had weird errors ever since moving it back and forth to an external drive for Boot Camp, but he said another friend of his with a MacBook couldn't connect either.
Does OS X have a problem with 64-bit WEP networks, or is it a problem with 2WIRE 1000HWs? What do you think?

The dollar sign is called a "hex escape".
Mac users choose to use Mac, and they will have their own batch of idiosyncracies.
A novice? Your mac registration date is 5 years ago.
A novice would do exactly as you have done. Come to the Discussions, ask a question and get the answer. Or call their ISP which provided the 2Wire.
Or heaven forbid... Search the discussions.
In this article here on apple.com are some more references to the dollar sign

HT3986 No wireless network on Windows 7 Bootcamp Install

Just did a Windows 7 Professional Bootcamp install on my brand new MacBook Pro. Everything seems to be fine, except that I cannot detect our home wireless network when I try to set up a new network. The wireless network works fine when I'm in the Mac software. I wonder what I am overlooking?

Have you installed the Boot Camp drivers?
1. Press Option key on boot and choose Macintosh HD.
2. Open Boot Camp Assistant, download the Boot Camp drivers and burn them in a CD or USB disk.
3. Press Option key on boot, choose Windows volume and install the Boot Camp drivers
