Running Win 7 on Macbook Pro via Bootcamp - Clock is inacurate

The only option I can find for Windows 7 CDT Zone is UTC-6. I reset the clock and when I reboot I get incorrect time again. It isn't saving apparently.
Right now it is 7:50pm CDT but the clock in the lower right hand says 12:50am next day.
Help please on how to set and SAVE correct clock time. Thanks.

One more question: where do I download the apple drivers or does that happen automatically?
Nope. The first thing that the BootCamp Assistant offers you is to create a drivers CD or USB flashdrive. Once Windows installation is complete, you use that media to install drivers that allow Win7 to identify and use properly the Mac's hardware. Else it will use generic drivers that may not work fully.
Run the first step of Assistant again if you missed that. It won't mess up your installation.

Gaming issues and heat issues, running windows 8.1 pro via bootcamp

I have a few problems, and I don't know what else to do, then to write for help here..
I really hope someone out there can help me, because I have had this problem since I bought my laptop mid 2012, and I got smarter since then, so now I know that I actually shouldn't have these problems, it's not because my very expensive laptop is bad, or that it is a laptop or because it's a mac, regardless of what people say, I'm positively certain that it's a problem which shouldn't be there.
I have pretty great specs, (trust me i checked them out, not the best in the world, but pretty good) yet I can't enjoy 1 single mmorpg game like, Tera, or the new Archeage (currently in open beta), or any other game, (swordsman online)... Even though people say Tera has bad coding, I have tried adjusting things for weeks if not months, NOTHING helps, i get a frame rate that is from 0-25 very unstable, usually around 7-12, and sure if I go the lowest settings in the games I can get very unstable framerates but i guess they can get up to around 35-72 but drops to like 7 or 3 sometimes as well, so even on the LOWEST settings in the games I can't enjoy the games fully... It lags and such because of the low fps ofc...
Other than that it also have a heat issue, mostly when running windows 8.1 in bootcamp.
It get's quite hot, just by opening a browser window, and yes i have tried reseting smc, and p-rams, many times.. nothing seems to help.
And even if it helped the heat problem, the gaming problem is still there.
Now to my specs: (I have the macbook pro retina, mid 2012, 15 inch)
- Prosseser: 2.6GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processor (Turbo Boost up to 3.6GHz) with 6MB shared L3 cache. "Core i7" processor (3720QM)
- Memory: 16GB 1600MHz DDR3L onboard memory
- Storage: 256GB ssd flash storage. (Seperated into os x = 130GB, windows 8.1 pro = 120GB) Running games and such from my 1TB external harddisk.
- Graphics and video support:
Intel HD Graphics 4000
NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 1GB of GDDR5 memory 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 up to two external displays, at millions of colors.
And here's a link to see what is inside it for yourself: http://http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook_pro/specs/macbook-pro-core- i7-2.6-15-mid-2012-retina-display-specs.html
When that is said, apple's warranty has run out, and I didn't buy apple care, but I still have warranty from the store (humac) I bought it in, because in my country the law is warranty 2 years, no matter what, but if i can avoid it, I REALLY would like to avoid switching it out with a new one, since there could be problems all over again, and I would lose what I have on it right now, plus it's a hassle to get a new one, they will always try and fix it for a long long time before they give a new one, and probably can't find the problem...
But if that's the only thing i can do about it, I will ofc, but just don't advise me to do that, unless there's no other solution to the problems.
Please help me.
ps: sorry if I posted it the wrong place, I wasn't allowed to post it the right place by apple...

If the underlying hardware was exposed correctly by the CSM-BIOS when Windows was installed, your Device Manager should look like this.
If the Windows installer did not see any devices as your screen indicates, Windows will use generic software-based drivers which will be very slow and painful.
Rudegar ... I think the Windows installer did not see any hardware, otherwise there should be HW with yellow triangles with exclamation marks.

Apple Wireless Keyboard is lagging and disconnecting when using Macbook Pro via Bootcamp

Hey guys,
I am using my Macbook Pro (I think from 2009) with an external monitor and the apple wireless keyboard (connection via Bluetooth).
First when I set up Bootcamp everything worked fine. But now suddenly the keyboard is lagging (letters sometimes appear after a few seconds or get stuck and typed 20 times or something) and randomly completely disconnecting.
I already downloaded the newest drivers for Boot Camp 64bit from the apple website, but this didnt solve my problem.
I tried disconnecting the keyboard on mac and then reconnecting on the Windows 7 partition again. Also didn't work.
Of course I had to reconnect the keyboard when on the mac.
But it's not that it's not working. I'm using the keyboard via Bootcamp right now. It's just that it's randomly doing this...
Now I don't know what to do. Do some of you have the same issues or have any ideas that might help?

How can I get Netflix Movies to run on my MacBook Pro via wi fi?

When I log onto Netfix with my MacBook Pro and select a movie to watch on line, I find that I lack an application that will work only in a 32-bit environment. It won't load. Is there any other application I can use to substitute for that?

Do you have Silverlight installed?
What browser are you using? I know that FireFox 4 beta 7/8 had a problem. Make sure if you are, update to the non-beta version.
This was posted on Mozilla Firefox support;
Netflix requires the Silverlight plugin, which isn't working in Firefox 4.0 Beta 7 or higher on Mac OS 10.6, because of this bug:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=598406
Bug 598406 - Silverlight not supported by i386/x86_64 universal binary on Mac OS X 10.6
As a temporary workaround until this bug is fixed, try running Firefox 4 Beta in 32-bit mode, using these instructions:
From the menu bar, select Firefox and then select Quit Firefox
Open the Applications folder in Finder and locate the Firefox application icon.
Hold down the control key while you click the Firefox icon and select Get Info from the list of menu items.
In the "Firefox Info" window, click the box in front of "Open in 32-bit mode" so that it is checked.
Close the "Firefox Info" window and then restart Firefox 4.

Help putting Windows 8.1 on a Macbook Pro via Bootcamp?

Roommate destroyed old Macbook that had Windows 7 on it via Boot Camp so I have to start over and put it on my new Macbook Pro, the 15-inch Retina one. The following images show up whenever I try different options in the beginning of the Boot Camp part.
I have the 64bit disc in the disc drive and I have no idea why it won't work. And I'm outside my phone tech support (OF COURSE -_-) for Apple so unless I pay them $19 I'm completely stuck. Can someone give me a step by step of what to do?

Everything on it will be erased, but the drive will be re-useable.
Use Disk Utility to format it, select the erase tab, select the drive in the sidebar on the left, select MSDOS as the format and press the erase button.
Be certain that you select the flash drive and not your internal drive by mistake.

Display is set to Mobile PC Display on Windows when I run it on Macbook Pro via boot camp

Just installed Windows using boot camp. I downloaded the drivers that were provided by boot camp assistant. After installing the display says: Mobile PC Display. I have 15 inch Macbook Pro. What display driver do I need to get the right resolution? Here is a screen shot http://i.stack.imgur.com/hIvj6.png
My boot camp is version 4.0 (424) and doesn't look like it needs updates.

Proceed with caution. I offered my college student son a new 15" MacBook Pro and he said, "No Thanks."
He says that at this writing, there are no Linux graphics Drivers for the wacky dual graphics in the current 15" MacBook Pro, and there are no Linux Drivers for the current proprietary WiFi chip.
I had some recent reports saying Ubuntu will run on actual MB-Pro's, although it's not a easy "click and run" task to get it work.

USB gaming mouse unrecognized by Windows 7 Pro (via BootCamp)

Hey,
I bought a Zowie EC1 Gaming USB mouse. But when I plug it into my MacBook Pro 15" running Windows 7 Pro (via BootCamp), then the mousewheel flashes blue shortly for 1 second or so, and the driver installation process starts. After awhile it says hardware unsuccesfully installed. And when I re-plug the mouse in the same USB port it says unrecognized.
I think maybe it's just some buggy drivers? Anybody experienced something similar with other mice maybe? Or know how I solve this problem.
Kind regards,
Simon

I looked around on the web and read a bit about your Zowie EC1. It's a very nice mouse that I need to put on my Christmas list
But it seems that it should be recognized by Windows as a normal USB mouse and install generic drivers. I have a couple of questions:
1) Are there any Windows Updates for your hardware waiting to be installed?
2) Do you have all the Apple Boot Camp drivers installed? Apple just released 3.3 if you're not on Lion (which is 4.0)

Installing XP on Macbook pro in bootcamp ~updates first?

For installing XP on Macbook pro in bootcamp what updates should I have installed first? I have already installed parallels with XP and all is well but I have one PC program that will not run on parallels and needs to be setup in a Bootcamp environment. I want to run the same version of XP in bootcamp - I hope.
If anyone has experence in partitioning the HD without compromising the Parallels OS setup and the MAC OS please advise, or where I can find instruction for doing this. Thank you.
Linda

Thanks- that what I was hoping. I wanted to run Windows XP- do you recommend a specific partition size? I have found information that is a bit conflicting about installing the same copy of Windows as was is installed on my Parallels. Some information states that it will wipe out my XP in Parallels if I try to install the same CD in Bootcamp,then there is information about work around's - and running Bootcamp inside of Parallels? Yikes!
I have been told by the software manufacturer I need bootcamp to run 'Pool Studio' on a MAC- that I can't use Parallels- do you have any idea if running the bootcamp Virtural Machine inside of Parallels would act the same as a separate version of windows. Except possible eleveate the licence issue.
Its ****** to have to buy another windows licience to run one program.
Do you have any ideas? Thanks

I am trying to install windows 7 to my Macbook pro with bootcamp but every time I open bootcamp I am only able to check the first two boxes but not the third one saying "install or remove Windows 7", any solutions ?

Hi, I am trying to install Windows on my MacBook Pro with bootcamp. Every time I open bootcamp I am only able to check the first two boxes but not the third one saying "install or remove Windows 7". I did this before using the same computer and the same hard drive so I am not sure why this is happening now but did´t happen then. Any solutions ?

Was your Bootcamp info.plist manipulated to change any options?

Java will no longer run on my MacBook pro since I updated my java

Java will no longer run on my MacBook pro since I updated my java - what the heck is with that? When I try to do as suggested and go under Java preferences it wont allow me make any changes this is the error message I get "Cannot launch "java preference" no compatible version of Java 1.5 + is available."
Then it gives the option to open java preferences or quit. It will only allow me to quit as it won't open java preferences. Stupid updates!

Running an old MacBook Pro 2.5ghz core 2 Duo. Battery went chemical meltdown and expanded out of its housing. Removed it and was running off the power cord. This worked for a while. Now it won't start up. Have a Replacement on order. Is there a bigge

Running an old MacBook Pro 2.5ghz core 2 Duo. Battery went chemical meltdown and expanded out of its housing. Removed it and was running off the power cord. This worked for a while. Now it won't start up. Have a Replacement on order. Is there a bigger issue or does a battery need to be in the compartment to boot up? Appreciate any help. Thanks.

Working battery needs to be in for the computer to function.

i tried transferring my iphoto library from my old macbook onto my new macbook pro (via external hard drive), but when i open the new iphoto, it seems to have transferred ALL images ever used on my old macbook. so i tried to just delete all those images so i could try a different approach to transferring, but the new iphoto won't let me do anything and every time i try to delete anything it crashes (since the image amount is so high). please help!!
MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2), iphoto '11, version 9.4.2

To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
But however you do choose to link the two machines...
Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
