Not able to adjust brightness while running bootcamp and windows 8 on a macbook pro

I have a Macbook pro with retinal display. I loaded windows 8 using bootcamp. The brightness of my screen cannot be increased beyond five boxes.

So it does go down and then up but not up enough to suit you?

  • Question on using bootcamp and windows on 15" macbook pro retina (late 2013)

    So i just bought a new macbook pro 15" retina (late 2013) and i want to play games on it like LOL, WOW, and SC2. i was wondering if i really need to play them on bootcamp using windows 7.

    Open Boot Camp Assistant (in Utilities) print out the instructions, setup Windows on its own partition, insall and run Windows natively, not much difference than on any laptop.

    Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
    Partition and Format the hard drive:
    1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    2. After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • I want to run Quicken through Windows on my macbook pro, whats the best way to do this?

    I want to run Quicken 2012 through Windows on my macbook pro, whats the best way to do this?
    I have been looking at Parallels or VMware in order to use Windows but then I will also need to get a Windows license. Just looking for the most inexpensive way possible as this will probably be the only Windows app I run.
    Also looking at this CrossOver software which says you dont need Windows license. Anyone used this before? had success?

    CrossOver's website has a list of software it has certified as working or working with known issues - Quicken 2012 has a bronze rating meaning it runs but with enough issues that it isn't recommended. In other words, "Run away!"
    Get a copy of Windows 7 OEM from Amazon or New Egg and give it a try with VirtualBox (an open source virtualization program). If VirtualBox doesn't cut it you can always buy VMWare or Parallels.

  • Running Aperture and Slow Performance on MacBook Pro

    I am running a MacBook pro w 4 GM interal memory, lost of HD space, and OS 10.8.4.  Often when working with Aperture system performance seems very sluggish to the point of becoming unuseable.  Export of 20 images to mail can take 10 min.  It just becomes so slow as if strangled for memory.  I find I shut down other apps but don't think this should be necessary with current OS technology.  Any suggestions?  Thanks

    Have you checked what it going on, when Aperture becomes sluggish?
    I'd recommend to launch some diagnostic tools, if you have not already done so:
    Aperture's own "Activity Viewer": From the main menu bar: Window > Show Activity
    This will tell you, how Aperture is spending its time : rendering, previews, scanning for faces or places, raw processing. Inparticulur, check, if Aperture is hanging while processing one particular image or video over and over again.
    The Console window: Launch it from the Utilities folder in the Applications folder. Look, if you see error messages or warnings in this window, when Aperture starts to hang.
    The Activity Monitor: Launch it from the Utilities folder in the Applications folder. This window will tell you, which processes are using the cpu, the RAM, and doing page outs to the disk. You can see, if other processing are competing with Aperture and slowing it down, orif Aperture is starved for memory.
    How large are images? Do you have very large raw files or scans, or are your photos moderately sized?
    Is your library on the internal drive or an external drive?
    Do you see this slowness only with your main Aperture library, or also, if you create a new, small library with a few test images?

  • Over bright screen using bootcamp and Windows X

    My 24" iMac works great with bootcamp, but the screen is so bright it's unusable. The bootcamp control panel has a very limited control range and doesn't make the screen even close to dim enough.
    I use Shades applet with Leopard when on the Mac side, and it works great.
    Is there anyone out there who can suggest a similar program for Windows, or another way to further dim the iMac screen so it's usable under Windows in Bootcamp?
    Thanks!

    I wish you had follow my suggestion and called Apple to get a replacement set of original system disc.
    The reason is that disc you order from Apple has only Snow Leopard version 10.6.3 and your Mac may need a later version of Snow Leopard, like 10.6.4, .5, .6 or .7 and that disc will NOT install the OS on your system.
    Along with that the original system disc set contain a second disc for the iLife applications, "i" Photo, Movie, DVD, Web and Garage Band.
    Without that second disc you can not install those iLife Apps unless you buy them from the Mac App Store at about $19.99 for each or the set of them on DVD from someplace like Amazon or eBay.
    And if you buy it from the Mac App Store you can only get "i" Photo, Movie and Garage Band as Apple has stopped supplying "i" DVD and Web with the iLife Apps.

  • How do you access numpad keys on a macbook pro retina (mid 2012) keyboard while using bootcamp and windows?

    There are no function overlay for numpad on the keyboard and there are backlight controls where the numpad on/off was on previous macbook pro

    I recommend resetting your SMC and your PRAM. Perhaps even a safeboot as well.

  • Z-Program not able to pick up Payment Run date & Identification.

    Hi,
    I created a Z-Program for Payment file creation.
    This Z-program able to pick up Payment Run Date & Identification if I run it alone ( back ground and fore ground).
    My issue is, if I run it from F110 with variant, it is not able to pick up the Payment Run date & Identification.
    I used following code to get the Payment Run date. (SAP Version 4.6C)
    *------- SPA/GPA-Parameter
    DATA:    BEGIN OF gpa,
               laufd             LIKE f110v-laufd,
               laufi             LIKE f110v-laufi,
             END OF gpa.
      IF p_laufd IS INITIAL OR p_laufi IS INITIAL.
    Get the parameter values for Run Date & Identification from F100, if
    User not passed the above parameters while running this program
        GET PARAMETER ID '110' FIELD gpa.
        MOVE : gpa-laufd TO p_laufd.
        MOVE : gpa-laufi TO p_laufi.
      ENDIF.
    Your help appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Reddy

    Hello,
    What exactly is your requirement?
    IF p_laufd IS INITIAL OR p_laufi IS INITIAL.
    * Get the parameter values for Run Date & Identification from F100, if
    * User not passed the above parameters while running this program
    GET PARAMETER ID '110' FIELD gpa.
    MOVE : gpa-laufd TO p_laufd.
    MOVE : gpa-laufi TO p_laufi.
    ENDIF.
    Your code will execute if the user doesnot pass Run Date & Run ID. But you CANNOT execute F110 without passing Run Date & Run ID.
    Hope this helps.

    Hi Richard,
    You mentioned that 'Apple put the AirPrint spec out there for all printer makers'. I've been looking around but I haven't found any spec. Where did you find it?
    Do printer makers have to buy a license in order to be able to advertise that they've implemented the AirPrint protocol? Is there maybe an Apple review process in place?
    TIA

  • HT5252 I tried to change my metadata date and got this   Aperture was not able to adjust the date and time of the original file "01769_p_h13ajyrm4bm0944.jpg" because it is locked or you do not have permission to modify it.

    I tried to change the metadata date.  It changed the date on my photo, but when I checked the box that said "also change my original file", it gave me this error message.
    Unable to change original file.  Aperture was not able to adjust the date and time of the original file “01769_p_h13ajyrm4bm0944.jpg” because it is locked or you do not have permission to modify it.
    Wassup?

    What is your Aperture version? The older versions of Aperture 3 had a problem to apply Metadata changes to the original file.
    If you are using the current version Aperture 3.4.5, try to repair the permissions on your Aperture library, if you have not already done so:
    Launch Aperture with the key combination ⌥⌘ held down and select "Repair Permissions" from the First Aid PAnel, that will appear.
    If that does not help, post back with more information on your original files - are the referenced or managed? Where is your Aperture library located? Since when do you have this problem? And what did you do directly before noticed the problem for the first time?

  • Aperture was not able to adjust the date and time of the master file "2008-06-22 at 14-41-14.jpg" because it has a format that does not permit date modification.

    I can't seem to find a way to update the date/time of a master file. There is a format issue but I can't seem to figure out how to correct it.

  • Not able to adjust date and time - format does not permit

    Hello,
    I just scanned one old photo as a JPG and then imported it to Aperture 2, I renamed the file 1976-07-01_01.jpg based on the date the pic was taken. Then I tried to adjust the date and time in Aperture but got this error window:
    "Unable to adjust master file
    Aperture was not able to adjust the date and time of the master file "pic.jpg" because it has a format that does not permit date modification."
    What next?

    I am having a similar problem. The time is off by 12 hours exactly (ahead). When I touch date and time, screen goes black for less than a second and then reverts to main screen with all of the icons. I have first generation touch and just noticed this problem. All of the software is up to date. Any one know of a fix for this?
