Bootcamp Install issues on Windows 7

I've just installed W7 on the new 27 inch IMac and I got everything to work fine through the methods mentioned here. The issue I'm having is that Bootcamp refused to install the driver that allows it to have a "Keyboard" tab that would allow me to make Bootcamp recognize the Function Keys "Mac" functions.
Any idea why it did this and how to fix it?

Mid 2012 mbp bootcamp install issues

I am having trouble installing Windows 7 64bit via bootcamp on my 15' mbp. I made a usb boot drive and I am able to boot into windows 7 INSTALL, but it asks driver. There's a browse and a rescan button. Rescan does nothing. I have browsed to the bootcamp driver folder and it fails to find anything. Running through each folder I get the window to populate when I am under INTEL/CHIPSET/ALL folder but nothing will install. I usually get "No new devices could be found. Make sure the driver files are correct and located on the driver installation media." However, the USB drivers crash the machine.
I am an IT person but this is my first Mac so I am not in my element. (Actually I just bought a mini as well.)

I think I have similar problem.
I have MacBook pro mid. 2012. And for hole year it was perfect.
But several days ago I noticed some graphic artifacts all over my screen. I rebooted my system - but the problem was still there. I use gfxCardStatus to monitor and control video card status. And I noticed, that that glitch appears only when nvidia adapter is in use. I tried to roll back hole system for one week back with time machine, but no luck...
There's no apple store in my contry (Russia, Saint-Petersburg), but there's several apple authorized service providers. I called them for diagnostic, and they told me, that this is videoRAM problem, and only solucion is to replace motherboard, and it will cost me for something around $1000
Irony is that my year warranty expired just one week before this trouble appears.
So I'm working now only with integrated video

Several bootcamp issues and os version

I just did a clean install of my macbook pro led 15". I just used the osx install disc, not the app disc.
I then did software update to update everything including to 10.5.6. I ran bootcamp and selected 45gb for windows. I booted from my retail windows vista ultimate and installed ultimate 32bit. When inside vista bootcamp doesn't seem to work. I ran the installer from the osx disc and bootcamp install installed fine and i rebooted windows fine too. video is terrible with a score of 1.0, keyboard keys don't seem to darken or anything. They just stay lit and won't dim or anything. Trackpad won't right click at all even though bootcamp is checked for two fingers for the right click. Scrolling in windows and IE etc is extremely fast and is in fact backwards. I have to scroll up to go down and down to go up.
windows says new hardware and i need to refresh the windows score. i refresh and it just stays the same saying i need to refresh cus there's new hardware.
I have no clue why this is so messed up nor how to fix it.
Oh yeah. Why can't you use 64bit windows and why do the instructions say you must have windows xp sp2 and nothing else? this is ridiculous. it shouldn't matter what version of windows xp or vista you use.

!.) Boot Camp is installation software - once it partitions the drive and starts your installer it no longer operates. It is done. Since Apple went to Intel, the Mac is no different than a PC when Windows is installed.
2.) You have a drivers problem. You need more and better drivers.
3.) Boot Camp is poor in that it gets finished too soon. The drivers on your OSX DVD will get you started, but they are inadequate for a satisfying OS install.
4.) Apple doesn't update these drivers automatically - another failure. You have to find them - you install them from the Apple website WHILE in Windows.
5.) Some of us get these updated drivers faster and better straight from the manufacturer.
6.) The drivers for the strictly Apple hardware (Trackpad iSight etc) only can be had from the Apple website THROUGH your Windows booted machine.
For example:http://support.apple.com/downloads/MultiTouch_Trackpad_Update_for_Windows_XP__Vista
7.) The example I just posted is a December 2008 Apple Windows Trackpad driver update. If your OSX disk is older than that, then your Apple-supplied Windows drivers from your disk are out of date and have not recieved the latest driver fix from Apple (and Apple won't prompt you on this).
8.) Driver fixes contain both Vista and XP software - your Windows hardware installer KNOWS which one to use (Vista) and will leave the other one (XP).
9.) All is not perfect in the Windows-on-Apple world. There is a thread in this forum that has anguished over the Trackpad issue for OVER one year now AND it is still going - http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1433222&tstart=0
It is a good idea to see what others have tried first before starting from scratch on your own.
The hatter - you made an error: he has a Pro (thus needs the video driver you speak of)
NOTE I had VISTA! It sucked, and I asked for my money back - XP rules.

Can no longer boot to MacOSX after bootcamp install

Hello all, I have an issue to where I can no longer boot into the Mac OSX partition after what appears to be a failed Windows bootcamp install. As I was running the bootcamp assistant process, a reboot occurred and I was greeted with the "No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key". I have no idea how to get past this and boot back to OSX.
Things I have tried:
Holding down the "option" key does nothing, even using a USB keyboard
Resetting PRAM (CMD + OPT + P + R) does nothing, even with USB keyboard
I have put in a MAC OSX 10.7 Disk and cannot boot to disk using CMD + C on startup
I also pulled the hard drive out and connected it to another PC and wiped the drive completely. I put it back in the macbook and I am still presented with this error. It seems, even though I get the Mac startup tone, that it is stuck in which ever OS it tried to run previously, that being Windows. Not sure why I am still receiving this error even after wiping the drive completely clean.
As far as hardware goes, I am pretty sure its a late 2010 Alumn. Macbook Pro. I cant get the current model number since I cant boot the OS. Any help is appreciated.

Please reset SMC as well.
You can get the serial number from the back cover and use https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do to find the model.

SP2010 Foundation Post Install issues on development workstation - Database and Services

Just recently installed SP2010 Foundation for a development workstation. Platform isWin7 X64 pro, SQL 2008 (Developer edition)
(1) Looks like search has some configuration issues. This is in the Windows event log
The Execute method of job definition Microsoft.SharePoint.Search.Administration.SPSearchJobDefinition (ID 38eefca2-d092-47f4-a833-23f8280c5f63) threw an exception. More information is included below.
The device is not ready.
(2) In Central Admin > Servers in Farm
Status - "Upgrade Available",
(3) In Central Admin > Manage Database Upgrade Status
Sveral of the Datbase(s) mention that upgrade is recommended, but one in particular mentions that the DB is too old?
WSS_Search_GHHTY
SPSearchDatabase
Database is too old and upgrade is required
Huh?
(4) Looking at my local SQL 2008 instance that SP2010 created, I see several DB's with "Config" in the name along with a guid on the end of the name. Is the result of re-running the configuration wizard several times while
I was correcting install issues?

here is question, i am assuming its fresh install not upgrade...
when you run the config wizard( you mentioned many times), which option you select from 2nd try to on ward....cannot disconnect this server from farm?
are you using any script to install ?
I would say run the config wizard without disconnecting and this server will host CA option.
from the central admin > manager server in farm...on top you will see farm version and config database name. note it
from the Manage database Upgrade status page note all the db names
now match it on sql and keep those and all other should gone now as a clean process.
Please remember to mark your question as answered &Vote helpful,if this solves/helps your problem. ****************************************************************************************** Thanks -WS MCITP(SharePoint 2010, 2013) Blog: http://wscheema.com/blog

BootCamp Installing Vista on Macbook Pro

I am using bootcamp to instal Windows Vista Home Premium on my Macbook Pro (with lastest software updates). I have the install CDs for Vista but its multiple CDs and on bootcamp install it can only use one (cant eject to put next CD in). How do I go about installing my Vista on here?
thanks for any help

zwalk,
Welcome to Apple Discussions. I know you are new here so let me help steer you to a forum where you might get the answers you are looking for. This is a generalized MBP forum, I think you will get more answers by re-posting on a Bootcamp forum which you can locate:
http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=237
Look over the various forums then choose one that comes closest to your needs which to me sounds like an installation issue.

Can't reinstall MacOS X Lion on a MacBookPro with Bootcamp installed

Hello,
I have a MacBook Pro 2010 15" with 2 systems installed :
- MacOS X Lion
- Bootcamp with Windows 7
MacOS X Lion does not work anymore and the screen goes to black after I have started the system. I wanted to reinstall and I used several methods :
- Install Mavericks from Within the MacOS X system
- Using the recovery partition to boot the computer and reinstall through a complete download of the install files (MacOS X Lion)
- Installing MacOS X Lion booted with a USB stick
- Installing MacOS X Mavericks booted with a USB stick
All the solutions failed with almost always the same message : the installation failed because it was not able to create a recovery partition...
When I press ALT at the computer boot, I can see three partitions :
- MacOS X
- Bootcamp
- Recovery
I have tried reformating the MacOS X partition but it does not work, I have always the same message.
Please help.
Kind regards,
Alan

MAC OSX should be mountain lion or above.

Simple Answer - Will upgrading to Lion Break my Bootcamp Install?

I'm running Snow Leopard. I have an IMac with a 1TB Drive - I have 800Gig for Mac and 200 Gig Partioned for Windows through Bootcamp(Win 7)
I want to download and upgrade my Mac OS to Lion. I've read through a ton of posts on issues to do with reinstalls etc; but I jut need to know if I upgrade to Lion, will I also have to redo my Bootcamp as well?
I plan to back up everything anyway, but I'd prefer not to have to reinstall all the Windows programs I use etc;
I'm not a tech geek so I'm just trying to figure out how complicated this install would be. If I didn't have bootcamp, I'd just do it, but getting Bootcamp installed and running the first time was a chore and I don't want to have to do it again, especially now that I have a Windows partition full of programs and data.
Thanks,
Tom

Thanks for this. Makes perfect sense and this is the type of answer I was looking for. I could simply move a bunch of data off the MAc Paritition to make sure that there is enough HD Space. Looking at it now I have 188Gigs Free so I should be ok.
The other question would be, I have Bootcamp 3.02 now I think. I would have to upgrade this to 4.0 with Lion as I understand it? This would have to be done after the Lion upgrade?
Thanks so much for the help.
Tom

2011 MacBook Pro, 64 bit i7 quad core, upgraded to Lion OSx, Bootcamp installed with Windows 7, wanting to install Windows 8 (don't ask), tried downloading/installing bootcamp 5.0.5033, error message something similar to bootcamp doesn't support this Win

2011 MacBook Pro, 64 bit i7 quad core, upgraded to Lion OSx, Bootcamp installed with Windows 7, wanting to install Windows 8 (don't ask), tried downloading/installing bootcamp 5.0.5033 (both on the mac/windows partitions (actually using a parallel to run Windows)), error message something similar to bootcamp doesn't support this Windows
So the question is am I doing something wrong? Should I just try and install windows 8 through my windows 7 partition and see if I can use the bootcamp 5.05033. Or do I solely have to use the bootcamp to install Windows 8? I'm not too familiar with bootcamp and how it runs.

if you're using parallels and full bootcamp then you're making it 100% more troublesome for youself then it needs to be
bootcamp is running windows directly on the hardware this give full memory and cpu and 3d video game power
running windows in parallels is running a virtual machine where one can't run powerful games and the like but one can have it in a window and change fast between osx and windows
parallels as the only virutal machine (as far as I know) support not have the operating system as a file on the osx harddisk but can access a bootcamp parition as virtual machine but without the benefits bootcamps provides
it's a service parallels provide for those who want both to play games in normal bootcamp and sometimes use windows in a virutal machine
just install it like a normal virtual machine and you need not worry about bootcamp drivers and the likes
plus it would mean that the windows part would be a part of the timemachine bacup of osx
which it is not when it's in bootcamp

Help! 13" macbook pro will not boot. Tried running disk repair from HD recovery, not repairable. Trying to reinstall OSx Lion, says disc is locked. Do I have to erase the drive and lose everything? I also have Bootcamp installed, will boot to Win OK

Tried running disk repair from HD recovery, not repairable. Trying to reinstall OSx Lion, says disc is locked. Do I have to erase the drive and lose everything? I also have Bootcamp installed, will boot to Windows no problem.

Hotrodmkviii,
try rebooting in Recovery mode, but when you reach the Mac OS X Utilities menu, run Terminal (from Utilities in the menu bar) instead. Inside the Terminal window, give it the following command, and then press the Return key:
diskutil list
Please include in your reply the output from that command.

Does latest version of bootcamp installed on late 2013 rMBP put thunderbolt drivers for lacie external thunderbolt/USB 3.0 drive?

does latest version of bootcamp installed on late 2013 rMBP put thunderbolt drivers for lacie external thunderbolt/USB 3.0 drive?
I am wiping my current windows bootcamp partition and reinstalling windows using disk utility /bootcamp wizard to clean up and reinstall.
just curious if the Thunderbolt drivers get installed from bootcamp/windows sofytware update as I can't remember iif i had to do it manually before. I do see it shows up on windows side in device manager and if it is pluggged in during boot screen (to windows 7 pro 64 bit) shows ASMedia drivers being loaded for it.
Thanks

thank you so much I was pretty sure it did but wanted to be 100% sure as purpose of clean install was to clean up some mishaps I did with office 2007 (custom install), etc.
Many Thanks

Mac OSX: Flash CS3 Font Install Issues

Hi,
I have a Mac Powerbook G4 with OS X installed and Adobe CS3.
I've installed a font. The font works in Photoshop and Illustrator
but not in Flash CS3. Why? I've put the font in the Library/Fonts
folder and the User/Fonts folder and it still doesn't show up in
Flash. Apparently this is a problem for a number of people see
another forum here:
MAC
OSX: Flash CS3 Font Install Issues Forum
Please let me know what to do to fix this. I need to be able
to work with the font in all three applications Flash, Photoshop
and Illustrator.

Hi davidd61713525,
Sorry for not getting back to you sooner.
Unfortunately, it looks like something is wrong with the file system and the installer can't see the root drive to install to. A Google search returns numerous results affecting various products and the recurring theme is that something is wrong with the disk. There are many recommendations from various sources, but nothing definitive.
Here's a similar thread over on the Apple forums:
Broken Installer Permissions | Apple Support Communities
And a similar older one:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1203509
I would try the following options:
Try using the PKG installer. This is used Mac SysAdmins to install Flash Player within their organization and uses a slightly different installer path, which may or may not work.
Some people have had success with disk and permissions repair some have not. You can try running a disk and permissions repair. After the disk and permissions repair is complete, reboot the system and try to install again using either the online installer (get.adobe.com/flashplayer) or the offline installer, posted at the bottom of the Installation problems | Flash Player | Mac page in the ‘Still having problems’ section.
If these options do not work, I'd reach out to Apple support to see if they have a suggestion. If you do find a resolution to this, please let me know. I'll be happy to share it with people that encounter the problem in the future.

Re-Installing Issue

Hi,
I have a G5 I had to re install and erase my HD cause I had issues, now that i am rebuilding the system it won't let me install FCS, I get to the DVDP disc and it says Installation failed.... I tried it a few time and I get the same error. Can anyone shed some light on this please?
thanks

Welcome to the forum!
Made sure the disks are clean? I'd call Apple on an install issue if it's new or if you suspect a damaged disk and you're the registered user.
Which OS are your running? QuickTime Version?

Webutil install issue

Hello,
I have a strange WebUtil install issue on 10gIAS 10.1.2.0.2. I downloaded the 1.0.6 WU version and put it into a webutil directory under forms (which the pre-configuration of AS seem to assume) and when I call the forms servlet with ?config=webutil the "RegisterWebUtil - Loading WebUtil Version 1.0.6" shows but the main applet doesn't load. The webutil HTML template is found and looks OK in View Source but no applet. The config section has a archive_jini but it behaves as if the main jar can't be found(?) Nothing extra in the jinit-console, even at log level 5. webutil.cfg is copied to forms/server and frmwebutil.jar to forms/java.
Suggestions appreciated,
Nik

Hi,
Can you check Vitual Path of WebUtil in the config file ..\forms\server\forms.conf?
I would like to see your files
..\forms\server\default.env
..\forms\server\forms.conf
