The drivers supplied by bootcamp won't work for my macbook pro running windows 7

I installed windows 7 on new macbook pro using bootcamp. It downloaded drivers but the drivers dont work for ethernet, network adapter, usb and others.
Help needed.

I found out you need to run the 'setup' application from the flash drive in Windows to install the proper drivers. I was trying to windows to search the drive for the drivers. I don't know why its not being explained that way.
Hope this helps others.
It is explained that way in the Boot Camp manual, did you read it (page 22)?

  • Is there a way to auto-configure the optimal screen settings for a macbook pro running windows 7? When running Lion the screen looks 10x better.

    Just like the title reads. 2011 MBP Quad Core 15". Used boot camp to instal Windows 7 Home premium but screen resolution is bad. Thank you

    No. Reopen Boot Camp Assistant and click on the Continue button. You'll see in that screen a checkbox to download drivers. Check that box and uncheck the other boxes. Have a freshly formatted USB flash drive or hard drive connected. Must be partitioned MBR and formatted FAT32. You can format it while in Windows. Have it connected when you use Boot Camp Assistant. Once you click on the Continue button again BCA will attempt to download the drivers.
    Once you have the drivers boot Windows. It should autorun the installer you downloaded after Windows gets itself settled in.

  • CanoScan 9000F scanner won't work on my MacBook Pro even though it should be compatible with the Mac 10.7.2 OS.

    My new CanoScan 900F scanner won't work on my MacBook Pro even though I've followed all instructions to make it compatible with the 10.7.2 OS. The USB connection isn't recognised. What else con I do?

    I have a similar problem with a new CanoScan 9000F which I tried to use without any success on my desktop computer (Mac Pro 5,1) and laptop (Macbook Pro 1,2) both running OS 10.6. Problem is identical on both, viz:
        •    Scanning process appears to start, a message comes on the screen: Scanning do not open document cover followed by Scanning...
        •    This is then replaced by the message: Cannot communicate with scanner. Cable may be disconnected or scanner may be turned off. Check status. Scanner driver will be closed. 2.155.33
    I've spent several hours on the phone with Canon support but having uninstalled/installed/reinstalled/updated/turned on/turned off/unplugged/plugged/restarted innumerable times, the problem is exactly the same. The scanner icon shows up in the Printer & Fax System Prefs (though without the little status lights) and shows as being connected in the USB tree. I think it's a problem with the scanner, Canon bods are suggesting the Macs are at fault and suggest I try connecting to a wintel (hawk, spit) and it's 100km to the nearest Canon service centre.
    Any suggestions as to what might be the problem/s and what I might be able to do to fix it/them?
    Thanks.
    By the way, bought the Canon to replace a HP Scanjet 8300 which I've used for 6 years almost without problems. Any that I have had have been fixed merely by turning the scanner off then on after a 10 second rest.

  • What is the best USB powered portable 1TB hard drive for a macbook pro that allows Time machine to work, windows (thru Parallels software) and mac storage and is available in Australia?

    What is the best USB powered portable 1TB hard drive for a macbook pro that allows Time machine to work, windows (thru Parallels software) and mac storage and is available in Australia?

    I agree with teh OWC sggestion above, but why must it be USB powered? I find that far more unreliable, and the low power devices slow.
    I'd frankly get a good external enclosure and buy a bare drive.  But the OWC stuff is quite good - vastly better than some of the majors (WD being aprime example of stuff that's boderline quality and often not compatible)

    There are some keyboard commands (shortcuts) you can use instead of having to go to the Apple menu -
    Control-Eject          This brings up the Restart-Sleep-Cancel-Shutdown window.
    Command-Option-Eject          This puts the machine to sleep.
    Command-Control-Eject          This closes all apps and restarts the machine.

    You stumbled on a Mac Tower forum, not notebooks.
    If you are running 10.6.8 then you must have bought it 3-4 yrs ago?
    Might want to check the specs and then look at various programs and their requirements as to whether Final Cut Express and ah, you want to import media to an app, not "upload."

  • F2 button for brightness won't work on 2010 MacBook Pro

    I have a mid year 2010 MacBook Pro utilizing Mountain Lion 10.8.3 OSX.  For some reason the F1 and F2 buttons are not working for brightness.  Maybe I turned something off by mistake? If I hit F5 it shows a circle with a line in it like it is off or locked.  Any ideas how to get the brightness to work again?  Trying to avoid the Genius Bar if possible.  Any ideas?

    Morning Alison Mcshane,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    The System Management Controller (SMC) is responsible for many low-level functions on Intel-based Macs.

  • Will the new Apple wireless keyboard and mouse work with my Macbook Pro?

    Looking at purchasing a wireless keyboard and mouse for my Macbook Pro. Figured the one made by apple will work, but not sure... Any suggestions on a good wireless keyboard and mouse, or knowledge on whether Apples will work or not?

    keyboard: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Apple/MC184LLANB/
    magic mouse: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Apple/MB829LLABB/
    I just got them last week and the keyboard is new and the mouse is used but looks brand new.  And you get a free pair of AA bateries with the mouse.  And you can get 2AA batteries for the keyboard for an extra $1.29 I highly recommend going this route as I did very recently and am very pleased.

  • Is the latest version of Adobe Flash Player bad for my macbook pro? I have heard different things like it causes MBP to overheat. any truth to this?

    From research on different communities, I have read that Adobe flash player will cause my macbook to overheat, and a bunch of other rumors. is there any proof or truth that Adobe flash player is bad for my macbook pro? I installed it a couple hours ago and so far nothing has happened but im worried about the future.

    That might have been true for the 13" Intel HD 3000 graphics models, but the newer machines with Intel HD 4000 have a bit more kick in the CPU graphics.
    and a bunch of other rumors. is there any proof or truth that Adobe flash player is bad for my macbook pro?
    No it's not bad, it's just that the late Steve Jobs came out publicly against Flash because it couldn't run on the new low performance devices like iPads and iPhones that he was serving up.
    So a lot of young people took it as a mission to kill Flash and bad mouth it to death.
    What you do have to do, like you need to do with any browser plug-in or software, is be careful from where you install it from as there are many websites that will try to trick one into installing a fake one.
    Many people thus tricked into installing a trojan immediately blame Flash as the cause, when it's not.
    Also you have to keep it updated, but using a browser like Chrome will do it for you and Firefox will not let you run outdated web browser plugins.
    Safari also blocks outdated plugins, but Apple is very slow to issue updates so it's almost worthless.

  • Will aperture 4 work in my macbook pro running 10.6.8?

    Will Aperture 4 work in my Macbook Pro? I've got 10.6.8? thanks

    There is no Aperture 4 at this time.
    Aperture 3.5.1 requires OS X 10.9 or higher, so one would figure that any future versions of Aperture (3.5.2 or higher) would require 10.9.x at minimum, as well.

    I just recently got a Macbook Pro that came with Lion installed already. When I tried to put Sims 3 into it, the computer didn't read the disk. Is there anything I can do to get Sims to work on my computer? Thanks

    Is it a Mac disk?  If not, it won't work unless you create a Windows partition, and install Windows through Boot Camp or an emulator like Parallels.

  • External back up won't work on Yosemite Macbook Pro

    I downloaded OS X Yosemite a couple of days ago, works well. I went to back up my Macbook Pro on the external hard drive I have always used and it won't work, it just keeps saying preparing back up. It is a WD My Passport hard drive. I tried removing the hard drive and selecting it to use a a back up but still wouldn't work. It has worked fine every time before downloading Yosemite. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    I know that no one has replied yet, but figured out the issue.  I called Applecare and they couldn't figure it out, so sent me to a genuis at the Apple store.  They too couldn't figure it out and told me that it was a firmware issue with the Toshiba dvd external drive.  When I got home, I thought I would try one more thing.  I hooked it up to a powered hub and it works perfectly.  I'm not sure why no one else thought of it, but glad that I did.

  • Canoscan LiDE 210 won't work on my macbook pro

    Can't get my scanner to work on my macbood pro, OSX 10.8.4.  I've downloaded the driver for the scanner and the MP Navigator EX 5.02.  MPNav won't even open.  LIsts only a few Canon products supported.  EXTREMELY frustrating.

    I should have clarified I was referenceing the software as Canoscan LiDE 5.0.1.4 for Mac OS X. It appears to be the most current version.
    The scanner is a Canon model CanoScan LiDE 600F. After posting, I found and installed the current scanner driver. Same results with a subsequent scan attempts. The preview displays the full picture, but finished horz. image is clipped at the top and shows part of the sprocket holes at the bottom of the frame.
    But after teasing the piece of film into the most extream position against the bottom edge of the holder with a toothpick I was able to trial and error some full frame images with minimal clipping. I suspect it is a software problem. Probably some focusing or alignment algorythm
    The film adapter is a 13"X4" device that lays on the larger glass, a cable plugs into a port labled FAU and the device engages two magnetic latches to exactly position the film adapter. The adapter itself has a hinged lid and seems to be disigned for a 35 mm strip of film, not an idividual cut frame. The larger scanner lid is double hindged, so it can close over the film adapter when its mounted on scanner bed.
