I settup Bootcamp drive on my Macbook pro retina. Loaded Windows 7. The necessary drivers to communicate with Win7 did not load. How do I get drivers for flash drive, etc. when the keyboard et. all do not work on Windows side?

Can't get Windows 7 to recognize my keyboard, usb drives, nor the mouse pad on my MacBook Pro. Have settup Bootcamp division and loaded Win 7. Apparantly the needed drivers did not load. How do I deal with this issue?
Thanks.

Got it working!
First off, I found out if you use a 32GB Flash Drive or larger, you need to format it with EXFAT format, not MS-DOS FAT. I was also trying to use USB 3.0 Flash Drives which may have something to do with my problems. I was successful in my installation attempt when I used an 8GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive formated in DOS/FAT.
Also ensure when you install Windows, that Windows 7 Premium (NOT Basic) is selected for installation (also had the option to install Windows 7 Professional and Ultimate but do not have the license for them). I did not see that window with all the options on any of my three previous installation attempts. I noticed that Windows 7 Basic is the default which may have been part of the problem.
Happy and safe New Years to all,

Flash exported from Keynote and embeded in iWeb page not working in IE

using the "html snippet" widget and swfobeject code generated here: http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?page=wizard I placed a swf file generated by Keynote in an iWeb page.
It seems to work fine except for folks using IE in Windows. They get to the first page, but the "Next" link doesn't work. My problem page address is here: http://shortpoem.org/readings/Selected_Poems.html
Can anyone help me see what needs to change?
This is the generated code (I also tried using the html generated by Keynote and had the same problem):
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.jeroenwijering.com/embed/swfobject.js"></script>
This text will be replaced
<script type="text/javascript">
var so = new SWFObject('http://shortpoem.org/readings/SelectedPoemsfiles/thoughts.swf','mpl','800','600','8');
so.addParam('allowscriptaccess','always');
so.addParam('allowfullscreen','true');
so.addVariable('height','600');
so.addVariable('width','800');
so.addVariable('file','/upload/player.flv');
so.write('player');
</script>

The code in your first post is not what you pasted in the Snippet.

You simply exclude IE users.

Macromedia Flash Professional 8 trial, english windows version. Download not working?

Is anyone else having this issue? Everytime I try to click the download button on the windows english version of the flash 8 trial it does nothing. When clicked it tries to load something, but doesn't end up doing anything. I've tried using different browsers (I use firefox mainly) but it still does the same thing. Can anyone help?

Although it seem legitimate, I think it is mainly for historical purposes - maybe an orphan page :-). You should use the following link:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=flash
in order to download the software. The other links to flashbasic, a version of the software that isn't used anymore. If you are trying to get an old version in order to publish to an older version of the player, you shouldn't have any problems with the new version. You can set the target player under File > Publish Settings ... in the program.

Transfering CS3 from XP to Windows 7 (XP computer not working, so can't uninstall)

I want to install an old copy of CS3 on my windows 7 computer.
It was previously installed on an XP machine, which now doesn't work.
I can't install it on the windows 7 machine until I've uninstalled it on the XP machine, which I can't do because it doesn't work.
What can I do to fix this?

How to Access DATA, Physical Flash Drive from Host machine

Hello Everyone,
First i am sorry for My English also if i post wrong place.
In HyperV, I created 3 VM machines, and i want each machines can access to Data or Flash Drive from Host machine.
THanks you so much!
Regards
VeasnaYim

Hi,
The Hyper-V forum is here:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/home?forum=winserverhyperv
But, your question is relatively simple. You will need to use standard Windows networking to access data from the host machine. Depending on your version of Hyper-V, connecting to it via RDP from the host machine can use the RDP client's ability
to access the host drives also.

The device may be formatted for Windows, as NTFS. The format is readable, but not natively writable on a Mac. To write to the device, you must either reformat it (erasing all the contents) or install third-party software to enable write access to NTFS.

How do I eject the flash drive from an Officejet 8610 after scanning a file into it.

I used the front panel controls of my Officejet 8610 to scan an image into a flash drive plugged into the front panel of the 8610.
The 8610 recognized the presence of the drive just fine, and placed the scanned image on it as desired.
But for the life of me, I cannot figure out how to do a controlled ejection of the flash drive. (I finally did a controlled power-down of the 8610 and removed the drive after the 8610 turned itself off.)

@dcollins_mac
Thank you for your post on the hp.com forums regarding safely ejecting your USB flash drive. In our printers, to remove your USB flash drive, all you need to do is - remove the flash drive. There is really no other method needed. You will not harm the flash drive, printer or files.
Hope this helps.

Mount a USB flash drive from a shell

I am about six months new to Linux; I have installed my first arch system but not yet installed a desktop environment. I am trying to mount a USB flash drive from the shell but I am not having much luck. I have tried following the instructions in the archwiki, http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/USB_Storage_Devices. I am having a problem with the following command:
mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbstick
I get an error message saying that the mount point does not exist. I have in the /mnt directory the following:
cd cdrom dvd fd0 f1
(I am not sure what fd0 and fl are, if somebody could please tell me I would appreciate it. Also I do not have a DVD-ROM on my computer is the dvd listed by default or do I have a package installed I do not need?) I did some searching online and came across the following site, http://linuxcommando.blogspot.com/2007/ … -from.html. I followed the instructions to identify the correct partition name corresponding to the USB drive by running the following command:
grep SCSI /var/log/messages.log
and I get the following results:
Dec 30 22:16:17 morgan-desktop scsi2 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage divices
Dec 30 22:16:22 morgan-desktop sd 2:0:0:0: [sdb] Attached SCSI removable disk
The next steps in the instructions are to mount the partition to the existing mount point (directory) by using the following command.
mkdir -p /mnt/myusb
mount -t vfat -o rw,users /dev/sda1 /mnt/myusb
This is where I am having a problem, I do not understand the results and how to proceed to the next step, please help me.
One other small question what is the best command to shut down the computer as a normal user?
Thank you
Morgan Smith

Ok, Lots of different advice here, let's see if I can explain it all together, and clear up a few bits...
I'll try to explain why I'm saying what I am, it doesn't matter if you don't follow it all, commands are below.
You are on the right lines here, but a few things missing. Firstly, to mount the USB stick you are using the correct command, but the locations are a problem. The command is "mount -t type what/to/mount where/to/mount". You can find out more about the mount command with "mount --help" or "man mount"
You have correctly identified type as vfat - this means the pen is formated as FAT.
To find out what to mount, you can check /var/log/messages.log, the second command you posted searches trough that file and prints out lines including the phrase SCSI, and the result tells you that a usb storage device had been attached as sdb, so the correct device is /dev/sdb1. Storage devices are named sda sdb sdc etc in the order they are attached, and the numbers refer to the partitions on the disk.
You can mount it anywhere you want, as any existing directory, but the one you tried to use /mnt/usbstick doesn't exist, so create it, using mkdir.
The commands you need therefore are:
mkdir /mnt/usbstick
mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usbstick
This will work as root. There is also, as byte said, a program called pmount (which you can get with pacman -S pmount) which works the same way for a standard user.
Finally, there are also a number of tools like HAL which can be used to automate the process.
As for shutting down, as has been said you must be root or in the power group, then you can use 'halt' 'poweroff' 'reboot' or 'shutdown'. All have slightly different effects, and poweroff is probably the easiest.
Hope this helps

How do you save PDF to a USB flash drive from iPad 2

How do you save PDF to a USB flash drive from iPad 2

You can't, the camera kit connection kit which has a USB connection only supports the copying of photos and videos to the Photos app, and doesn't support the copying of any content off the iPad - you will either need to go via your computer.

Is there a way to protect a USB flash drive from virus?

My daughter's school computer lab is seemingly infected with some PC virus but their school IT folks seem to be unable to clean them and with all the young kids using USB flash drives they brought these viruses home when they plug the flash drive into our home computer but luckily since we are using Mac at home and I have ClamXav installed it detected the virus immediately. So we are kind of safe but I am getting tired of removing this same virus every week using UNIX command in a terminal mode, as it's locked and can only removed using the sudo command (taught by some people). My questions are:
1. Is there any way to protect a USB flash drive from virus infection (it's a window PC virus)
2. is there a way or suggestion on how to stop these apart from dis-infecting the whole school computers? The problems are that these young kids are not aware of those viruses in their USB flash drives and their teachers are just too ignorant about it!
Thanks for any suggestions and help

I'd still invest in your case into Mac protection against passing along malware.
Take a look at Intego AV for one for the Mac and for dual-protection.
http://www.intego.com
Whatever you are finding is 'dormant' I assume, but that doesn't mean it can't become active or passed along either. And there are some 'man in the middle' spyware and malware, some which target online home banking (some people run their home banking from a virtual OS that is used for that purpose only, I always wished Mac OS X could be run in a VM mode as well).
The IT folks sound like they need... do their jobs properly and better.
I don't care how young they are, or the staff's ignorance. Time for education is now.
Download and install Microsoft Security Essentials in Windows and follow guidelines. And there are tons of FAQs, guidelines and articles on the subject.
http://www.microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

Nearly six months after Apple added a malware blocker to Mac OS X (Snow Leopard), the feature appears to be collecting cobwebs.
Apple has not added any anti-malware signature updates to the XProtect.plist file that launched with antidotes for OSX.RSPlug.A and OSX.Iservice, two known Trojan horse programs targeting Mac OS X users.

Unmounting USB flash drive from cRIO

Hi all,
I am using the USB port of a cRIO 9012 to save datafiles (using File I/O) to a USB flash drive.
After having run the program, I want to unmount the USB drive. Can anyone please tell me if there is a better/nicer way than just taking it out? Since this might result into losing my data if the USB drive gets corrupt (just like under Windows).
I have searched the forums, but I was not able to find anything on dismounting a USB drive on a cRIO...
Hopefully you can help me solving this (little) problem.
Thanks in advance,
Joep

Joep,
under Windows there are two scenarios that could cause data corruption on a USB-Flash-Drive:
The Flash-Drive is removed during a write operation. This potentially destroys the FAT which results in data loss. There is not much that you can do against this behavior, neither on Windows, nor under VxWorks.
With caching enabled for the Flash-Drive there is a chance that files are not written to the drive completely because some parts of it are still sitting in the PC's memory. When the drive gets removed the data is corrupt.
I don't think that VxWorks uses cache for mass storage devices at all so this issue shouldn't be relevant for a cRIO-9012, but I will double check if this is true.
Best regards,
Jochen Klier
