Problem with Windows 7 through Bootcamp.

WIndows started up fine via a partition through boot camp and the drivers installed fine (except iSight, but meh.)
HOWEVER, whenever I try to start up any downloaded online game, the keyboard and trackpad stop working except for the brightness and sound keys.
Is this a problem with the drivers or is it something else completely?

Doesn't matter what if even any Mac OS they have.
Sounds like the game and whatever it is expecting.
Mac OS has zilch to do, only thing about Windows on Mac is Apple Boot Camp 3.2 or 4.x drivers (and lack of 100% support) which are the main problems.
The one way people shoot their own foot is by making the partition too small. And assuming we are "mind readers" and that you told us all we need to know. Like the game, whether user installed the AMD or Nvidia graphic drivers themselves (essential) along with audio (Cirrus). Apple doesn't do 100% or even make it clear what else is left up to the user.

Office Mac 2008 compatible with Windows 7 through Bootcamp?

Hi, this is my first post to this forum and am seeking some assistance.
I have always been a PC user and switched to a mac around 8 mths ago and loving it, although I am still trying to drive the thing
For study I have just installed Windows 7 through bootcamp for some CAD programs and have the following question. Can I run my Office Mac 08 through Windows or do I need to purchase again under the windows platform?
When I purchased my mac I bought office mac at the same time for excel etc, but I don't want to pay again just to run on Windows? This may be a simple question to some, but I don't know much about programs.
Thanks, Evan

Can I run my Office Mac 08 through Windows
No. You may want to run Windows in emulation.

I need help getting my Thunderbolt display to work with Windows 7 through Bootcamp.

I recently bought a thunderbolt display and it works great in my Mac environment. But I recently added Bootcamp and Windows 7 (I need since my Broker Dealer only uses Internet Explorer). Unfortunately, I can't seem to get Windows to recognize my Thunderbolt display. Today, I spent 2 hours with a very kind advisor from Apple Support but we didn't have any success.
Here's my setup:
MacBook Pro (purchased new in 2011) with i7 processor
Thunderbolt Display
Lion OS (all updates installed)
Bootcamp with Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit (all updates installed)
With the help of Apple Support, I downloaded and reinstalled (through the repair option) all the Bootcamp drivers. I shut down my computer, plugged in the Thunderbolt display, turned it on and booted into Windows 7. When the Windows Welcome screen appears, it shows on my Thunderbolt display for about 2-3 seconds. But the thunderbolt quickly goes black. My MacBook Pro changes to a 640x480 resolution and the Thunderbolt remains blacked out--with no signs of even a single flicker. Once the computer finishes the start-up, my MacBook Pro remains in a 640x480 resolution, with no option to change the resolution (it's grayed out in Windows control panel). If I unplug the Thunderbolt cable from my MacBook pro, the high resolution of my MacBook pro snaps back to normal.
To me, this seems like some type of driver problem but I must be missing something simple because it appears that Thunderbolt works with Bootcamp and Windows 7--based on some of the readings I've found here in the Apple support community. I'm most appreciative of anyone's help here.

Problem with Windows 7 on Bootcamp Yosemite

First of all hello, I'm French (Normandy) and I can not find the solution to my problem on the net in my language, so I just ask for help here.
iMac 21.5-inch mid-2011
Processor 2.5 GHz Intel core i5
OS X Yosemite 10.10.2
I explain my problem,
There is 1 month I resize my Windows 7 partition using tools exteriors ...
There are 2 days I came back on my Mac partition and Yosemite made updates, but wanting to return to Windows 7, I realized that no longer appear in bootcamp "boot disk" or startup with the option key down !!
I have lots of important data that I do not want to lose (personels and professionals) on Windows 7.
Having many look on the forum (with the help of a translator, so sorry I have a very low level of English), I did not find any post where the solution is detailed from A to Z.
Can you help me with this problem please?
Thank you in advance of the time you can devote to help me
Tout d'abord bonjour, je suis français (de Normandie) et je ne trouve pas la solution à mon problème sur le net dans ma langue, alors je viens demander de l'aide ici.
iMac 21.5 pouces, mi-2011
processeur 2.5 GHz Intel core i5
OS X Yosemite 10.10.2
J'explique mon problème,
Il y a 1 mois, j'ai redimensionner ma partition Windows 7 à l'aide d'outils exterieurs ...
Il y a 2 jours, je suis revenu sur ma partition Mac et Yosemite à fait des mise à jours, mais en voulant retourner sur Windows 7, je me suis rendu compte que bootcamp n'apparaissait plus dans "démarrage de disque" ni au démarrage avec la touche option enfoncée !!
J'ai beaucoup de données importantes que je ne veux pas perdre (personels et professionels) sur Windows 7.
Ayant déjà beaucoup regarder sur le forum (avec l'aide de traducteur, oui désolé j'ai un niveau d'anglais très faible), je n'ai trouvé aucun post où la solution est détaillée de A à Z.
Pouvez vous m'aider à résoudre ce problème s'il vous plaît ?
Je vous remercie par avance du temps que vous pouvez consacrer à m'aider

I'm Having problems installing windows 7 through bootcamp Version 3.0.4onto my Imac 27in mid 2011 model

So confused... ran boot camp, and created the partition, but when I insert my windows 7 disc, it spits it out, and says please insert disk! When I reeboot my computer, it now goes to a black screen that says no bootable drive... and insert boot disc to continue? So now I have to hold down the option key to boot my Imac in its normal mode! Someone, please help!

Update Boot camp through Software updates and sorry to tell you but if the built in Superdrive is not working you will never install Windows on that Mac computer.
As has beenn pointed out Apple have Locked the system from booting from the Windows install system from any other source then the internal DVD drive. So no working internal DVD drive = No installing of Windows.
You'll have to get the internal drive replaced or maybe hack the case and install a Tray load DVD drive in the system. Never tried that but I bet it would work. I think the restriction is the DVD drive has to be connected to the secondary SATA port. Having any DVD drive connected to that port would allow you to boot to the Windows installer.

Cannot load windows 7 through bootcamp

i have been trying to load windows 7 through bootcamp. but after the initial partition process, the screen goes blank with a cursor on the top left corner.

i did not have any problem making the partition before. this is the first time i have had this issue.
can anybody help?????

I just successfully installed Windows 8.1 Update 1 on BootCamp on Mac OS X Yosemite. Here is a step by step I just wrote, hope it helps y'all:
How to successfully install Windows 8, or above, on Mac OS X Mavericks or above:
Requirements:
1- Windows OS ISO Image file
2- An 8GBs USB Flash Drive
3- A good Internet connection as you will need to download the Windows compatible drivers for your Mac
Steps:
1- Open up Disk Utility and create an additional partition for Windows formatted as ExFat. 100GBs, or above, is recommended as update to the operating system, as well as Apps requiere space on your HD or SSD [This step can be done during Mac OS X's installation process]
2- Open up BootCamp Assistant
3- Make sure only the 'Create a Windows 7 or later version install disk' is checked and your USB Flash Drive plugged in and click 'Continue'
4- Click 'Choose' and select your Windows ISO Image file
5- Select the USB Flash Drive you will be using during the installation process and click continue to confirm
6- Once done, restart your Mac and hold down the 'alt/option' key on your keyboard to bring up the Boot Menu
7- Select the USB Flash Drive named Windows, not the UEFI Boot
8- Install Windows as you normally would
* Remember to press and hold the 'alt/option' key, and select the Windows Partition, whenever the installation process requires your Mac to restart

Problems Starting Windows 7 Using Bootcamp

I have a 2011 iMac which I have been running Windows 7 on for over a year through Bootcamp. No problems operating it for the past year. When I tried to go into Windows today through Bootcamp, I got to the screen where you selet your boot choice. When I select the Windows drive like normal, the screen tirns black (with very slight backlight) and just sits there doing nothing forever. I don't have a prompt of any kind and neither the mouse or keyboard seem to be operating.
Computer boots fine as a Mac and operates with no problem as a Mac. Tried several times to re-cycle. Shut down........restart while holding Option key......start using Windows drive.......all with the same results......a black screen......
Does anyone have any idea what is going on and what I can do to fix it?

Thanks for the suggestion Rudegar. I think I found the problem which was from a different source. I installed an external hard drive and initated Time Machine in my Mac OSX. While it worked fine for Time Machine when running Mac OSX, apparantly it was causing a problem with Bootcamp and Windows. When I realized this might be the problem, I sejected the drive in OSX and turned it's power off. I then shut down OSX and started up using Bootcamp and Windows as I has in the past with no problems.
Thanks ayway!

I have been through it again and at the end it came up with the error:

Premiere Elements cause problems with Windows Media Center while streaming to TV.

I was having the following problem:
The audio from the streaming process of a recorded TV show on my HP computer to the remote receivers, a Sony Blu-ray player and/or a Sony Streaming Player, results in the loss of audio signal at exactly 30 seconds from the beginning on either devices. The video continues on as normal.
A user on the Windows 7 forum had the following possible cause and solution. His response was as follows:
I "solved" my issue, at least partially. Turns out for me a codec installed by Adobe Premiere Elements for audio (Main Concept) was causing mfpmp.exe to fail (you should see it getting an appcrash in the event log two or three times as soon as you start playing the media remotely.) This program is used by microsoft for DRM. I went through and one by one remained the various attached (non-microsoft) modules until i found the one that caused the appcrash. I haven't fully figured out if Elements is now negatively effected, but that's for a different forum.
I tried the quick fix by un-installing Adobe Premiere Elements. The uninstall solved my problem with Windows Media Center, but I want to re-install the software but I do not want to recreate the problem with Windows Media Center.
Is there another solution for this problem?

I reinstalled Adobe Premiere Elements 10 and the above mention problem reoccured. With a little detective work I was able to determine that the file causing my problem was "mc_dec_dd_ds.ax". I am not sure what this does to Adobe Premiere Elements 10 since I removed (renamed) the offending file. A strange side affect, renaming the file did cause an increase volume. Strange.

Hi all,I have just purchased new iphone but have difficulty in completing the itunes download with message : problem with Windows installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected.
Would appreciate help...its driving me up the wall!!

Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time?

I have an imac bought late 2013, can i use it as a display for the new mac pro running windows 8 through bootcamp?

No. Target Display mode is only supported when connected to a Mac running 10.6 or later.
It cannot be used with a PC, bootcamp, gamaing console, cable box, DVR or PowerPC Mac.

Everything Worked Perfectly with Windows 7 until BootCamp 3.0

Everything Worked Perfectly with Windows 7 until BootCamp 3.0:
Bluetooth Mouse - No longer detected
Has anyone else had this problem?

This is amazing! thank you, worked splendidly for me!
One question though, since the all the database files are not shortcuts is that going to require me to re-copy those files any time I want my windows partition to look just like the mac one? I'm pretty sure I know how this is working, but I'm kinda scared to try it, because my library is like 240gb, and i really don't want to mess it up, ha ha
thanks again for the tutorial

Recent problems with Windows Update with Thinkpad 8

Since last week I've started having problems with Windows Update on ny Thinkpad 8. It seems to be related with some recent update. At first I received different error codes. As I don't have many programs on my tablet, I refreshed it and set up Windows and Office again. I ran WU, and after the first update (with 100+ updates) WU was working ok. However, after a second set of updates (probably the most recent) I've started receiving error messages again. Most recently I am receiving code 80070002, and the error seems to affect only the installation of Windows Defender definitions through WU -- other WU updates install correctly, and most of the time I can install Windows Defender updates through Windows Defender. I have already tried the Windows Update Diagnostic tool, but the problem persists.

thanks farby

Iphone 3GS - windows 7 - syncing problems with windows live mail

I brought a new iphone 3gs last week and tried to sync it with my new dell PC running windows 7 (with windows live mail).
It wouldnt sync, so I read the forums and reset the sync history through itunes.
This worked, and synced my iphone to the computer. It appears to have backed up all my contacts on the iphone to somewhere on the PC (cant find where) but it hasnt copied the contacts from windows live mail to the iphone
Have I confused anyone??

have you tried using imap instead?
if you can access your email from the web page then sounds more like a problem with windows live mail and not your BT account
