Odd... Dell Display kills internet in boot camp

When I hook up my Macbook pro to a dell 2007fp via DVI, in boot camp, the internet seems to get messed up. The computer won't be able to connect to the network, or the network connection stops. If I try to repair the connection, it says that there is limited signal to the router, which is literally 10 feet away. As soon as I disconnect the monitor the connection works perfectly.It doesn't matter if the computer is clamshell or open, the minute i connect the monitor, the internet craps out.
The monitor has worked fine, with zero problems using Vista 64 bit on a pc, the same OS that the mbp runs. I have no clue what is going on. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately this didn’t solve my problem. It did improve slightly.
I stopped by an Apple store today and the MacPro with 30” Cinema display was doing the exact same thing. I don’t remember mine doing this in the past. To make matters even more frustrating, the problem doesn’t exist when I boot to XP. I wonder if some software or firmware updated caused the problem.

I can access internet via boot camp with windows 7, but not when I use the Mac w/Mt Lion side. Thanks for any tips!

I'm using a 2012 Intel-based iMac with Mt. Lion and Windows 7 with Boot Camp. I used to be able to access the internet on both sides. Now, my only internet access is through Boot Camp. At one point, access was unable on both sides but IE in Windows 7 automatically diagnosed the problem, changed some settings (which I don't know) and I could access the internet on both sides . . . for a while. Now, I can only get online in Boot Camp. Since IE detects no problems it doesn't apply the fix as it did before. Does anybody know what's going on?
I should mention that I installed Boot Camp because there is no Mac version of the software (VantagePoint) I need to use (duh). I wanted to be able to use the software w/o rebooting all the time so I installed Fusion. Of course, I didn't ask the VantagePoint techs if this would solve my issue. It didn't - VantagePoint won't work with Fusion, but it will with Parallels. So I installed Parallels and imported Boot Camp. Apparantly, it was not set up properly, I'm getting all kinds of errors reported in Console (e.g. "Found cross-bounds GPT partition. GPT disk detected," mdworker cannot talk to sandbox, etc.). The VantagePoint techs say the first step in a VM retry is to regain internet access to the Mac.
Anybody who can help will become my new best friend. Thanking you.

Are you using a MacBook Pro? Is everything installed on the same drive?
I would love to know how that install was performed. When I install Windows under boot camp, my MacBook Pro drive ends up with 4 partitions: Mac, Mac Recovery, Windows, and a small partition that I believe is used by boot camp.
Installing BitLocker on Windows requires the creation of a new small partition that Windows will boot off. The small partition is unencrypted, while the primary Windows partition will get encrypted. The following post discusses the maximum partition issue: https://discussions.apple.com/message/22753791#22753791
Has anyone installed Windows through boot camp on it's own drive, and if so, can BitLocker be installed on that without reaching any partition limit? I'm assuming that's possible, but would like to know before I spend hundreds on new hardware.

Not able to connect to internet in boot camp

First time using a mac computer so I decided to install vista on my macbook pro. But when I enter Vista I am not able to connect to the internet, I have looked through the leopard and vista discs trying to find the right files so I can use the internet. So any suggestions on how I can connect to the internet using vista?

After Vista installed, did you insert the Mac drivers CD (if you're running the beta Boot Camp) or the Installation DVD (if you're running Leopard)? Without the Apple-supplied drivers you probably won't have a lot of things working right.

I can't access the internet with boot camp -- windows 7

Just bought the computer yesterday (15 inch mac book pro) and installed windows 7 with boot camp. I have a wireless network with a comcast modem and apple ariport extremes. The macs (including the new mac book pro when not running windows) and a different windows computer can reach the internet fine using the wireless network. When I run windows through boot camp it can't find the network. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Glad it has a simple cure

No internet with Boot Camp

Would love any help anyone can provide.
Brand new Mac Mini - Works flawlessly.
When booted under Mac OS X, easy access to home/office LAN via Ethernet and/or Airport to our NetGear router.
Installed Boot Camp and Windoze XP (home) SP2 on separate partition (50% of drive space).
When booted under WIndows XP, no network available - not direct through LAN, not via Airport... nothin'.
No firmware updates are available for this model.
I re-created Mac Drivers CD with Boot Camp Assistant and reinstalled, no help.
It can't be a Windows driver issue for the wireless router, as the Mini doesn't recognize the ethernet LAN connection either.
I've read every post I can find on this discussion site to no avail.
Airport router is currently set to no WEP or any encryption to try to solve this. We have four local wirless LANs - none are visible to the Mini booted under Windows.
Microsoft says they can't help - no support - it's an Apple product.
Apple says no support - Boot Camp is beta.

For those experiencing similar problems - Apple Boot Camp beta 1.1.2 download solved the problem. Reinstall Boot Camp Assistant in Mac OS X, burn new drivers CD, reboot in Windows and reinstall new drivers. Then have to go to Network settings in XP and delete all previous network settings and start from scratch. Mac Mini will now recognize Airport, other wireless networks and obtain an IP address from local LAN on TCP/IP.

Cannot dial up Internet with Boot Camp bundled with Leopard

this problem has been plaguing me since I got the beta version of Boot Camp. I waited until Leopard came out, hoping this would solve he problem; but it hasn't.
I have a dial-up connection. When I enter Windows, I configure the dial up connection like if have man times, and even entered the DNS number manually. The modem dials up, but will only hold a connection for less than two minutes, before it hangs up.
My user name and password are correct, along with the dial-up phone number.
I find it hard to believe that the external Apple modem is incompatible.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks.

Internet OK w/ Parallels but not Boot Camp

Background:
Last week my WDS network consisting of 3 Airport Expresses (802.11g) got snarled up to the point I had to reset the entire system. Prior to this I was able to get Internet via Boot Camp, Fusion (on my Mac Pro), or Parallels (in my MacBook Pro).
*Current problem:*
After the network was restored I had to reenter my WEP password/code into all my machines. On my MacBook Pro, however, I cannot get Internet with Boot Camp. When I try to "repair," it times out and tells me it can't find the IP. (It has no problems "seeing" my network, it just won't get online).
However, when I use Windows via Parallels 2.5 (which uses this Boot Camp partition) I have no problem getting online. *The problem only exists when using Boot Camp on the MBP.* (I have no problems getting online via Fusion or Boot Camp on my Mac Pro either, just to eliminate my ISP, modem, and base stations).
But now that I've narrowed down the issue to just Boot Camp on my MBP I'm not sure how to proceed. I'm not much of a Windows troubleshooter. Any ideas how to get Internet back?

Same general problem, but I'm using a Mac Pro that previously connected without a problem under BC.
For my case, I removed then reinstalled Vista to a larger partition. I can connect to the network, but not the internet. Parallels and OSX have no problem (though I have to select the connection in OSX after booting to Vista and back).
I'm using WPA+TKIP

Can't boot into OSX or Windows after installing boot camp

I used boot camp assistant
Clickced on the "32 gig" parititon size button... It did its magic, then asked for a Windows XP Disc.
I put the disc in, and the system rebooted.
Upon reboot, XP install began
Got to the hard drive part, and it said "install on C: 130 gig unpartitioned space" (my drive is 1 terabyte). I thought it was a little odd since I clicked "32gb" on boot camp assistant, but I went ahead.
XP Went through install, and rebooted. Upon reboot, it simply booted to the XP Install Disc again and wanted to go back through same install. I ejected XP Disc, rebooted, and nothing starts up now.
I put the Leopard install disc in... Booted. It says there are no places to install Leopard to. I open disk utility, and all I have right now are:
disk0s1 (811gb) (which should be my mac disc!)
disk0s2 (259.4gb) - ??? This doesn't make sense, the drive is only 1tb, so the 2 partitions combined shouldn't equal more then 1tb!) This could be my WD Passport drive, but this still shows even with that unplugged.
It says that it is not mounted, if I try to mount it i just get an error saying "Mount failed - try running disk first aid and then retry mounting".
Disk first AID won't let me run, the repair disk button is greyed out.
I don't know what to do at this point, does anyone have anything that might be of help?

I've just escaped Boot Camp ****. Went to Boot Camp and it didn't start up as it has for a year.
It jumped to checking the XP hard drive and would not recognize the keyboard. No input possible. Finally got to XP and it restarted all over again before I could select starting up with OS X. Went through this a dozen times or so before I was lucky enough to get out of it and start in OS X using an OS X install disk.
What keystrokes are used to bail out of Boot Camp when it fails and start up in OS X?
I'm afraid to try to fix XP in Boot Camp unless I know for sure, as I'm visiting my folks and haven't brought all my software disks with me.
If all else fails, can I wipe the Boot Camp partition and reload XP?
Or must I wipe the whole drive and reload everything?
Thanks be I have a new fireWire 1 TB coming, but am also waiting on an ordered FireWire cable to arrive.
Thanks

Trouble installing Boot Camp 2.1 - BCUpdateVista32.msp

I have had severe difficulty trying to install the Boot Camp update 2.1 onto my MacBook Pro 15. I'm running Windows Vista Home Basic 32.
When I run Apple Software Update, it downloads the file but when it runs it quickly displays the following message:
Boot Camp Installer Completed
The installer encountered errors before Boot Camp could be configured
To retry these operations at a later time, please run the installer again.
Click finish to exit the installer.
An apple support page, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1845, advises running Command Prompt using administrator rights and typing the following:
msiexec /update <path to the .msp file>\BCUpdateVista32.msp
When I do this the response is "access denied."
I've also tried turning off User Account Controls in Vista and using .exe as the file extension (because that is how it downloaded). No luck.
Any Ideas???

Boot Camp is mix of services and control panels. There is no Assistant in Windows.
There is Apple OSSwitcher; Boot Camp control panel. And whether there was an update to all components to 2.1 - the only thing that matters: is there something not working?
If it isn't broke, don't fix it.
A number of people installed the UPDATE to SP3 w/o and before BC 2.1.
Some people have had trouble, only AFTER installed BC 2.1 (was fine before).

Does Boot Camp come with Microsoft Word, PowerPoint etc?

I would like to install Boot Camp on my MacBook Pro with Retina Display (it comes with Boot Camp Assistant). I was wandering if Boot Camp has Mircrosoft Office and all the other ones? That is the only reason I really need to download. Help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Nope MS Office is not included with Boot Camp. A copy of Windows isn't included either. So you'll need to buy either or both depending on your needs.
Boot Camp just helps you install Windows on your Mac. That's it. The copy of Windows, you need to buy or own already.

External Display Flickering/Blanking out on Windows 8.1 Boot Camp

OK, so I have a MBP 15" Mid-2012 model running the latest versions of Mavericks and all software and drivers on Windows are up-to-date. I am using my external display through an Active HDMI adapter for Mini DisplayPort/Thunderbolt (one that broadcasts audio as well as video).
So, this adapter and image seems to work perfectly fine on the Mac side, however, when I flip the switch to Windows 8.1, the external display goes haywire and goes blank and flickers with occasional lines and static across the screen. Image comes back every few seconds and then will suddenly lose signal.
I've been reading around the internet and I've seen that this could be a hardware issue in that Intel never put support for Thunderbolt/Mini DisplayPort on their chipsets for Windows, not a driver issue.
How screwed am I? If not so screwed, what steps do I need to take to attain functionality of the external display while running Windows 8.1 through Boot Camp?
Note: my Mac does not come with an HDMI port already installed like current Macs. This was the last high-end Macbook Pro to have an optical drive installed on it.

From Tech specs for your machine MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2012) - Technical Specifications
Intel HD Graphics 4000
NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 512MB of GDDR5 memory (15-inch 2.3GHz configuration) or NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 1GB of GDDR5 memory (15-inch 2.6GHz configuration) and automatic graphics switching
Dual display and video mirroring: Simultaneously supports full native resolution on the built-in display and up to 2560 by 1600 pixels on an external display, both at millions of colors
From the Intel downloads, there is a new driver for HD4000...
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&ProdId=3712
It may be worth a test.
From Nvidia website...
http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/77228/en-us
On a later rMBP, I can connect three displays via TB at full resolution.
One suggestion is to try a Display-miniDP cable, instead of a converted HDMI signal, if the monitor will accept a DP connection.
If it works correctly on the Mac side, it would be a driver issue, since the hardware supports it with one OS, but not the other. The effects you describe indicates that some pins on the HDMI are not getting correct signals to maintain image refresh rates or pixel sync. When you use the current connection, does the Control Panel -> Displays detect the model and name correctly? If not, the EDID detection is failing.

Can't Connect to Internet on Windows 8.1 Pro Boot Camp

Hello all,
I installed Windows 8.1 Pro without any problems. However, I saw that I can't connect to the internet, because there are no connections being displayed. How would I fix this? What drivers would I need to install? I purchased my MacBook Pro with Retina Display o November 5, 2012.

How did you install windows? Boot camp assistant would have downloaded and installed drivers for you.

Boot Camp Windows 8.1 WiFi Internet Connectivity

I have a MacBook Pro (Mid 2012) running Yosemite, and I have installed Windows 8.1 via Boot Camp.
Most everything on my Windows OS works well, but I'm hitting an odd problem with the Internet connectivity. Sometimes, I can only get to certain sites in Internet Explorer, and NOT through Firefox or Chrome. And now, after initially installing a few days ago, I can no longer connect to the Internet via my Evernote, Dropbox, or Git apps.
Has anyone else out there experienced something similar? It could be that this is just a Windows issue and I need to post a similar query elsewhere, but I thought I would start here. I don't see any errors anywhere in my Device Manager, and I even manually added Evernote to list of apps that is supposed to be able to access the Internet via a private connection, but still no joy.

1. Your MBA does not support EFI/Free Space method.
2. You need to ensure that your USB is a USB2 device.
3. The MBR should be checked, because there are known cases where BCA fails to create the MBR.

Mac Pro/Boot Camp - inf files for Windows XP & Apple 23¨ cinema displays

have a Mac pro with the ATI video card. I have installed Boot Camp 1.1 and can boot to win XP or Mac ok when I use a dell monitor for win xp. If I use the apple displays, the screen often doesn't turn on at all - just black screen though it has booted to win XP as I can type in my password and hear it log in. If I boot to Mac and then change to Win, it sometimes displays Win XP OK. However, when it does do that, it dosn't recognise the Apple Display - rather it is a plug and play monitor with lousy resolution. Are there .inf files for the Apple Displays to work properly on XP?

Can windows 8.1 in boot Camp display in target display mode on an IMac?

I have given up on Windows 7 running in Boot Camp on my 15" MacBook Pro and displaying it on my 27" IMac via thunderbolt and Target Display Mode.
The FAQ concerning Target Dsiplay Mode farily clearly says Windows 7 won't work.
But it does not say Windows 8.1 will or will not drive Target Display Mode via thunderbolt.
see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5219, question 29
Has anyone found that running Windows 8.1 in BootCamp on a MacBook Pro Retina mid 2012 will display via a thunderbolt cable in to Target Display Mode on a late 2013 IMac 27"?
I don't want to go to the trouble of installing Windows 8.1 and trashing my otherwise functional Windows 7 Boot Camp installation unless it is going to display properly on my late 2013 27" IMac running OSX 10.9.3 via thunderbolt.
Thanks in advance!

no, tdm doesn't work under bootcamp regardless of which windows is being used, imho i don't think it will ever work under bootcamp
