Sorry still in trouble with corrupt drivers for Win 7 ....

Hi i have an early 2011 Mac Book Pro. I installed Win 7 (using boot camp) and Win 7 just about works OK, but of course it is missing the correct drivers, which i thought were available from the Mac OS X disc, obviously not from the Mac Application drivers disc.
So then i asked the question on the Forum, where it was suggested because i have a fairly recent Mac Book Pro i should download and burn to Disc the correct drivers by running Boot Camp. When this is done simply run the SETEUP.EXE file in Windows 7 and it will all be sorted !.
Sadly it doesn't and isn't, i run the SETUP.EXE file and i am presented with two options ....
1. Remote Install Mac OS X
2. DVD or CD Sharing
i do believe according to the instructions i have read elsewhere there should be 3 options, the first option should be ... Install MAC drivers for Windows 7 !!!!
So please can someone help me out here ?.
Tim

It shouldn't require pounding the answer over and over. it shouldn't even require using OS X DVDs. Or typing the same answer on the keyboard multiple threads and times. It SHOULD either just be an independent download, or "FIX" whatever that 10.6.6+ 'featue" in Boot Camp Assistant. An additional chapter in the Boot Camp for Windows install PDF Guide.
the troubles are not with Windows my dear Dr Watson at all, no sir. They are in the guide, self-inflicted, left out of the guide, lack of reading the guide, and there are 100s of articles that belong under and in the Apple Support product page for Boot Camp (and weed out the stuff that is old, and have a link to sub-category if needed, and a "NEW Support Articles" addition. Which of course only .001% check to see.
Like this tidbit from a week ago:
Resolving issues with Windows when using Apple Magic Mouse or Apple Wireless Keyboard
Belong listed -
Apple Support Boot Camp
And having all "knowledge" base articles on everything made that harder to wade through than before it ballooned to take in all the devices and products (not just "mac"). Which you or I would almost have to check a couple times a week.

  • Are people still having trouble with iPhone/HP Laptops?

    Since I've had my Envy I've had no end of trouble with getting it and the iPhone to play nice. Any my search continues. So far, I have updated every bios, reinstalled Windows 7/iTunes many times, have restored the iPhone far more times than I care to remember and I am STILL having troubles with this thing. Having got through the Syncing issues with the PM55 chipset and iPhone I can now sync with my laptop. However all is not well as it would seem that I cannot sync my photo's. It doesn't matter if I have 0gb, 15gb or 30gb free, iTunes is telling me that there is not enough memory available. This error seems like an old one and there is even some info in the Apple KB but after following all that I still can't get it to sync my photo's.
    Some info on my setup:
    HP Envy 15 (all the latest drivers installed, bios F.24) Core i7-820, 8gb ram etc.
    iPhone 32gb, ver 3.1.3
    iTunes (whatever the latest one is)
    I should add that I can sync my iPhone with an identical install of intunes on my vintage Quad core desktop PC, but as I use my Laptop a lot more (and have all my media, email, and contacts etc on it) I would prefer to sync to it.
    Is there anything that I can do? Its very frustrating to have blown $4k on this equipment and it doesn't work...

    Well I tried deleting the photocache but alas, no luck. I also tried syncing with just the photo's enabled, and it worked! So then I enabled my other media and that copied across too! I thought I was on a bit of a roll here, but now whenever I try and sync it will do one of 3 things:
    iTunes will crash.
    iTunes will indicate that there is not enough memory on the device (+9GB free)
    iTunes will remove the iPhone from the sidebar (and my computer/disk management) even though it will continue to charge.
    Interesting point to note is that it works fine (cable/iphone/itunes/media library) on my desktop and macbook. Still really disappointed that I cannot get these two to cooperate. Also still haven't got any contacts from outlook but that may not be related?

    Did you download and install the Windows Support software? If you did, did you use the Boot Camp Control icon to set up the trackpad how you want it?

  • Anyone having trouble with iPad app for Comcast?

    Anyone having trouble with iPad app for Comcast?

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports (not "Diagnostic and Usage Messages") for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents—again, the text, not a screenshot. I know the report is long. Please post all of it anyway.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

  • OS : Win XP Prof SP3 ... with Recovery Media for Win 7 Prof

    i. 2nd attempt. The 1st didn't show. 
    ii.This is my first post in this forum, so I'm not sure whether email Notification is automatically sent if there's a reply.
    iii. On Nov 22, 2010, I contacted Toshiba pre-sales Support for info on the same subject.  I haven't received a response yet. 
    Hello;
    1) I'm about to buy a new Toshiba laptop:
    .... Toshiba TECRA A11-S3540
    .... OS : Win XP Prof SP3
    ......... : with recovery media for Win 7 Prof
    .... Processor : Intel Core i7 - 620M
    .................. : 2.66 GHz / 3.33 GHz with Turbo boost
    2) What is particularly attractive about this model (at least on paper and as I interpret its specs) is that it comes with Win XP SP3 OS, and I can upgrade to Win 7, if I choose to and at my convenience, with what appears to be a minimum hassle.
    3) I have reviewed Jim's article at:
    http://forums.toshiba.com/t5/System-Recovery-and-Recovery/Recovery-media/m-p/9148#U9148
    but still have some basic questions, and I'd very much appreciate your help:
    a--> What does " ... with recovery media for Win 7 Prof" really mean ??
    b--> What does it include ??
    c--> Does the laptop come with Win 7 OS software pre-stored on the HD ??
    d--> Is there a time limit for installing Win 7 on the unit ??
    e--> What if 6-12 months after purchasing the laptop, tried to install Win 7 and it failed and I ended up with NO OS ??
    f--> Can I go back safely to the Win XP Prof SP3 OS ??
    g--> Does Toshiba consider failure to install Win 7 as a major malfunction and would replace the unit at no cost within the provided 3-yr warranty ??
    Your comments and advice would be gratefully received.
    Kind regards.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Tecra M11-S3450
    I'll take another shot, Monir (with the same proviso that I'm probably not the best one here to reply).
    d. Does it mean the unit comes with the 2 versions of Windows 7 (the 32 and the 64 bit) pre-installed ??
    e. Can one choose which of the 2 Win 7 version to use ??
    f. Let us say the laptop comes with the Win 7 32-bit version:
    g. What does " ... with Windows XP Professional downgrade" really mean ??
    h. Does it mean the Win XP OS software is there if you want to downgrade from the pre-installed Win 7 ??
    i. Does it mean ONLY the option to downgrade from Win 7 is there, but one has to buy Windows XP OS if he wants to install it ??
    d&e. My guess is that when the laptop arrives, you'll have the opportunity when you first boot to choose which version to put on the hard drive. They are stored in another (hidden) partition on the same drive.
    g&h. It means the same as before (except this time for Windows XP), that there are recovery discs included which enable you to restore the hard drive to Windows XP.
    i. Everything is included. You don't have to buy anything.

    Highly appreciate any advice from themembers of Apple Support Communities

    It depends on the model MBP you own. Early 2008 only addresses up to 6GBs.. and then it goes up from there model to model.
    See OWC and http://www.macsales.com   for assitance on deciding how much.. If you plan to run Parallels and Windows as a VM, or do video editing etc. you'll probably need more memory. Otherwise mende1 is correct.

  • Trouble with database connector for FAST for Sharepoint

    I have plenty of experience with the JDBC connector for FAST ESP using Oracle, but this is the first experience I have with the same connector for FAST for Sharepoint (F4SP).  I've created the XML config exactly to specs based on the technet guides
    and configured my user accounts on the SQL Server appropriately.  I'm using SQL Server 2008 R2.
    If I try to use a Windows account, no level of access granted on the SQL Server results in a successful login.  Any attempt to use the connector is met with "Login failed for user:  domain\username".  If I try a SQL Server account, I no longer
    see a login failure, but this instead:
    PS C:\FASTSearch\bin> jdbcconnector start -f ..\etc\DTtest.xml
    Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation.  All rights reserved.
    14:44:59,870 INFO  [JDBCConnector] Starting the connector!

    14:45:00,620 INFO  [JDBCConnector] Connection made to target system
    TCP/IP is certainly enabled for SQL Server -- I am connecting to it with Sharepoint 2010, not to mention a test install of Toad Freeware for SQL Server from another machine, resulting in no errors.  My connection string, username and password are all
    set up according to the technet guide, including the encrypted password set by the encryption utility run the in F4SP Powershell.  The same user who runs the connector also ran the encryption tool, so that should not be a problem either.
    I've never had this kind of trouble connecting to Oracle databases with the JDBC connector for FAST ESP.  Any suggestions?  These failures aren't exactly helpful to me.  Thanks in advance.

    I found the solution to this problem in case anyone else was still curious.
    This was caused not by JDBC settings, permissions/access on SQL Server, etc.  It was caused simply by a missing SQL Server in F4SP configuration.  When you run the F4SP config wizard, either as single-node or multi-node installations, the wizard
    might end up ignoring the value you select for SQL Server, even if you are using a deployment XML file.  When configuring as a multi-node setup, the wizard ignored both my deployment XML tag <connector-databaseconnectionstring> and the SQL Server
    setting done manually in the wizard itself.  Examing the evidence, I suspect this was caused by corrupt installation media (since the installer also failed to create some core files in /etc upon doing a reinstall).
    The bottom line is that you must see a value for SQL Server in your install_info.txt file in order for the JDBC connector to work with SQL Server, like this:
    Other services
    Log Server:             myserver.mydomain.com:13415
    SQL Server database:    jdbc:sqlserver://myserver.mydomain.com;DatabaseName=FASTSearchAdminDatabase;integratedSecurity=true
    If you see this instead, the connector will never work:
    So, the JDBC connector is certainly dependent on the main configuration of F4SP, regardless of what SQL Server is targeted in your connector's XML configuration.
    Other services
    Log Server:             myserver.mydomain.com:13415
    SQL Server database:   
    ;integratedSecurity=true
    I had no idea there was a connection between my install_info setup and the use of the JDBC connector.  But, the connection makes sense considering this was the error message from the JDBC connector:
    09:20:04,016 ERROR [JDBCConnector] Caused by: No suitable driver found for ;integratedSecurity=true

  • Y50-70 trouble with intel drivers

    Hi, I'm having a problem installing some of the intel drivers on my Y50-70, I had some trouble with my OS and decided to downgrade to windows 7 which ended up needing the Partition type change which wiped the disk, so here I am.I'm on Windows 7 64-bit, I've installed most of the drivers but there are 2 that just aren't working, the only driver I have actively not installed is the webcam driver, because I'm paranoid The drivers that aren't working:Intel Management Engine Interface Driver 9.5.15.1 730-"The setup program failed to install one or more device drivers. Setup will exit."andIntel Video Driver for 64-bit Windows 10.18.10 .3574/6. 16.0.3137- "This computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing this software"In my Device manager my current display adapter is listed as:Standard VGA Graphics adapterand I have a few items with yellow alerts, these are:3D Video ControllerEthernet ControllerPCI DevicePCI Simple Communications ControllerAny ideas as to why I can't install either of the Intel drivers?This is driving me nuts, any help will be greatly appreciated. Sorry for the bunched text, apparently the spaces I used made the post complain about invalid HTML, today is not my day.

    If you don't need the Management Engine, don't bother installing the drivers for it. Disable it in BIOS too.
    As for the integrated graphics driver, you need to unpack it, then manually install it using Have Disk from Device Manager.

  • Can't create a new account at ePrintCenter - trouble with the server for 2 weeks.

    Hi. I'm trying to create an account at ePrintCenter and all the time getting mesage 'Возникла проблема с сервером. Проблема будет устранена в ближайшее время. Приносим извинения за неудобства.' (A trouble with the server, wait, bla bla bla). When will it be fixed?

    For those who are experiencing ongoing issues with their web services, you can attempt to try the following steps that may help resolve your problems.
    1.) Completely shut down your printer and restart it
    2.) If you have prints that have not printed, log into ePrint Center (or create an account if you do not have one) and then look for your printer status. If printer status is green but you still have pending jobs, delete the pending jobs one at a time (Starting with the oldest first). There may be a print job stuck in the queue that further restricts other jobs from completing.
    a. If option 1 or 2 above still doesn’t work, removing web services and re-adding web services will cause the printer to reattach to the cloud.
    b. Please note that if you attempt option 3, you will get a new eprint email address (and lose your custom one with no ability to get it back) furthermore, you will need to re-add your printer back to your ePC account.
