No Wireless or Ethernet Driver After Installing Vista Ultimate on New Mac

After installing Vista Ultimate 32 bit on my 17" 2.6 GHz MacBook Pro (486 gb hard drive, 101 gb bootcamp partition), (4 gb ram) The Vista Installation has no Driver Listed (or connectivity) for either the Apple Wireless or Ethernet drivers.
Any thoughts?

Did you install the drivers from the computer's software install DVD?

  • Cannot install Vista Ultimate 64bits on Mac Pro 2008

    Hello,
    I'm trying to install Vista Ultimate 64bits on my new Mac Pro (2008, 2x Quad Core, 3x 500GBHDD, 16 GB Ram), but Vista is unable to find a correct partition type.
    The first thing I did was to install a 4th HD, and I constantly received an error 0x80004005 which seems to be too generic.
    Then I tried to install it on the 3rd HD (Bay 2 is where my OS X startup disk is located btw) but here no way neither....Windows cannot find a valid partition.....
    I tried to partition it manually in MBR...same problem....
    Then with BootCamp assistant...same problem...
    I also tried to use Vista Business 64 SP1, same problem...
    Do you have any idea ?
    Thanks,
    Patrick

    Hello,
    Thanks for your answer, but unfortunately I'm still stuck...
    To resume the situation :
    I put a brand new 250GB SATA in the bay 4.
    I start Bootcamp Assistant and tell him that I want to use this new disk for Windows and then start Vista x64 install.
    Vista sees 2 partitions on this new disk :
    Disk 3 Partition 1 : 200 MB (Primary)
    Disk 3 Partition 2 : 230 GB (Primary)
    If I try to use the P2 for the install, I have to format it first. Once formatted, Vista says : This computer's hardware may not support booting to this disk. Ensure that the disk controller is enabled in the computer's BIOS menu.
    If I try to use the 200 MB (just for fun..), then I also have to format it, but here I receive the error message 0x8000xxxx
    So clearly I'm lost...
    Could it be related to the 16 GB RAM ? Too much for Vista ?? I don't believe as this is Vista x64...
    Thanks for your help, ideas..

  • Cannot connect to college network after installing Vista business on Satellite A215

    I have a Satellite A215-S4757, which i brought with me to college, I was told that the college's server has a problem running on vista home, which is what I had, currently the wireless is down, so after installing business and connecting the ethernet cable my notebook does not pickup any of several networks available, wireless or otherwsie

    What to say you can also access the network using Vista.
    But please note that the Vista OS supports additional network access security settings which must be either disabled or reset.
    This How to website released by Microsoft should help you to configure the network settings with Vista:
    http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/networking.mspx
    Here several hints:
    You should try to Open Network Diagnostics by right-clicking the network icon in the notification area, and then clicking Diagnose and repair.
    The Vista supports additional firewall options. Please disable it while trying to connect to the server.

  • DW CS3 preview issue after installing Vista SP2

    I have DW CS3 installed on my desktop and laptop computers. One computer uses vista64 and the other vista32. After installing vista service pack 2, I now have the following issue previewing PHP pages under Apache: All browsers give me a "cannot display the webpage" error UNLESS I am connected to some kind of network--it could be the internet or my peer-to-peer network. My destop computer is attached to a printer via RJ45 cable. If the printer is turned on, I can preview webpages in DW. If the printer is turned off, I cannot! Or, if I am connected to the internet through my wireless internet card, I can preview pages, otherwise, not.
    Previous to installing SP2, I was able to preview pages on both computers without the need to be connected to a network, so I am pretty sure that SP2 is involved in this new issue.
    When Apache and MySQL start up in the XAMPP control panel, there are no errors, and I can go into PHPMyAdmin just fine.
    Has anyone else run into this? Any thoughts?

    I'm just following up here. I have not solved the issue, but I did figure out that the problem isn't with vista service pack 2 but with Kaspersky anti-virus 2009.

    how come my mac isnt showing my external hard drive after installing os x maverick? and how to i fix that??

    How do you mean it isn't showing the external drive?  If you mean on the desktop, click Finder on the menu bar, Preferences, General and check the boxes for Show these items on the desktop - make sure hard drives is checked.
    If you mean it is not showing in Finder or Disk Utility, make sure it is turned on, reboot and see if that mounts it so it shows up.

  • Time Machine can't find external drive after installing Lion

    Time Machine can't find external drive after installing Lion. I have a Laice 1 terabyte external drive that worked fine with Snow Leopard and now no show ... tried connecting it to front port and Mac Pro can't see it. Also lost Office,Quicken, and Final Cut Pro  says: " You can't open application because Power PC apps are no longer supported" this is Not a good surprise!

    Does the drive work when just directly connected? If so, have you prepped the drive?
    Extended Hard Drive Preparation
    1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder. If you need to reformat your startup volume, then you must boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger or Leopard.)
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (only required for Intel Macs) then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.

    Hi Jim,
    You're welcome
    Is the version of Windows 7 Ultimate you have installed 32bit or 64bit?
    Open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers - do you see an existing entry for the IDT High Definition Audio CODEC listed here?
    There is an alternative IDT Audio driver you may wish to try on the following link.

    Let me know if you get the same error with this version.

  • I have Logic on my iMac and want to install it on my new mac book but my mac book doesn't have a dvd drive. I tried to download the upgrade but it looks for an older version. How do I get Logic on the Mac book ?

    I would like to install logic on my new mac book but there is no dvd drive. I tried to downlaod the upgrade but that didn't work. How do I download it for the first time?
    Thanks!

    You can only use the App Store version to reinstall on your new Mac if you bought Logic via the App Store in the first place.... and then it will appear under the Purchases tab in the Mac App Store App so long as you are signed in using the same Apple ID you used to purchase Logic via the App store in the first place.
    If you bought the DVD edition of Logic Studio then you must initially install using those original DVDs to begin with and then update to the latest version of your version of Logic via software updates.
    No DVD drive? Buy an external one.. Amazon do a very cheap basic one that works well..
    or...
    Use Remote Disk if you still have your older Mac which has a built in DVD drive...

    Correct.
    After that just select the new folder location in iTunes> Advanced settings.
    Incorrect.
    Hold Option and launch iTunes.
    Select Choose library and select the iTunes folder.
    This will read the iTunes library.itl file in this folder and the library as it was previously will be opened.

  • Can i use pen drive to install boot camp on my mac?

    Can i use usb pen drive to install boot camp on my mac?

    No. Windows cannot boot from nor be installed on an external drive. That said, in the Windows world there are ways to put a bootable Windows installer on a flash drive. But you will have to find those on your own.

    i have vista x64 installed.  You are going to have to be more descriptive and clear.
    Mike moved your post and gave it a topic; he didn't offer any advise on your issue.
    4 GBs of RAM means you have added more memory.  Are you sure this memory is compatible?  Have you tested the stability of the upgrades with Memtest86+?  Does it work without the extra memory?
