Using a Projector with Windows XP on my MAcBook Pro

My MacBook Pro connects fine to my projector when booted on Mac OS 10.4.8. When I boot on Windows XP (Bootcamp) the bootup screen makes connection initially and shows on the screen, but before it boots all the way up it loses connection and the projector goes out "looking for signal". Nothing I do remakes the connection.
Any suggestions

Someone who actually uses Bootcamp would be able to verify this for you, but from the sounds of it, the video drivers for Windows may not support what you want to do.
Like i said though, you'll need someone whos tried all this to verify as i prefer Virtual Machines to Bootcamp.

  • How to use an external display with Windows 7 and a Macbook Pro (Unibody)

    I just set up my new Macbook Pro 15 inch with the Windows 7 beta, and noticed that I couldn't get the external monitor to be seen using Windows 7 only. I am using my Dell 30 inch monitor and it was only seeing the laptop's main display. The fix was to download the Nvidia video drivers for the 9 series (e.g. the GeForce 9600/9400), after which it was maically able to see the display.
    The driver can be found here. Enjoy.

  • Cannot use isight camera with Windows 7 x32 on Macbook mid-2009

    Very very weird,
    it worked until bootcamp was upgraded mid next year.
    I have been looking for a solution siunce then.
    Wife is using the notebook and she is mad every time she is answering call from Skype or MSN Messenger she needs to reboot into Lion.
    She uses Windows 7 x32 on bootcamp most of the time yet she cannot use the camera.
    The camera shows grey and freezes wiuth busy mouse cursor.
    booting intro Lion works so it is something with the drivers.
    Can anyone help?
    I have looking for months already and I did not see solutions...
    Andrea

    Issue Fixed.
    BootCamp 3.2 - 3.3 breaks the functionality with Windows 7 at the latest patch level.
    The fix has been:
    upgrading OSX to Lion
    Patch to latest release
    Go To Boot Camp Assistant
    Download Windows Support Files to Jump Drive (second option I believe it is)
    Reboot into Windows 7
    Run Setup - BootCamp 4.0 will install
    Reboot
    Launch Skype or MSN Messenger - ISight will magically work again!

  • Camera using with Windows 7 on my Macbook Pro(2012)

    Hey there,
    I have a Windows 7 on Macbook Pro 2012 (Bootcamp). I have no idea, how I can use my built-in camera on the Windows side?
    Do I have to download a software?
    Thanks so much!!!

    You need to install it.
    Go back to OSX, open Boot Camp Assistant, read and follow the directions on page 1

  • TS2972 Everytime I want to use Home sharing with my iPad from my Macbook Pro, it crashes.

    I have checked the internet connection, apple ID and firewall, and everything is fine. It's just that iTunes on my iPad crashes every time I want to access the library that's on my Macbook Pro.
    What can I do?

    I have a new iPad Air and am using iTunes 11.1.3.8 on Windows 7 and I have this same issue.
    Everytime I open iTunes it asks me to authorize my computer.  I do so and it tells me that the system is already authorized.
    I have followed the directions linked to no avail.

  • How do I use an iPhone with an iMac and a MacBook Pro?

    I have an iMac, a MacBook Pro and an iPhone 4S. I will be travelling and would like to sync my iPhone with the iMac or MacBook, depending on where I am.  I am on the cloud and manage my music manually. I'd like to be able to sync and download app updates via iTunes. Currently I sync via the iMac, will I lose my music if I attempt to sync the iPhone with the MacBook?
    Thanks (and, yes, I know there is an obvious answer somewhere but I can't find it)
    Kron Dos

    I was afraid of that. That's why I posted the question before trying to sync and losing everything. Too bad as I just bought a MacBook Pro and would really like to have mirrored devices across the board. Either Appke's technology isn't up to it or they have some obscure secrecy reason to prevent it.

  • Using Apple TV with external DVD drive on Macbook Pro

    I am unable to play DVDs from my external hard drive attached to my Macbook Pro via the Apple TV on my Samsung smart TV. What am I doing wrong. Thanks.

    Thanks for your answer Brian. I am running Yosemite on a 15 inch Macbook Pro. I use a 'super drive'/external DVD player for DVDs. I am trying to play these DVD's that I have purchased on a large screen Samsung Smart TV using my Apple TV. I get sound but no video. I suspect that they cannot be played using Apple TV. Is that correct?

  • I used bootcamp to install windows 7 to my macbook pro 7 whenever I try playing a game the graphics seem to be lower or than what it's suppose to handle. I'm not good with technical stuff so i don't know that much but I'd really love some help.

    Help please

    Try a restart.
    If that doesn't fix the problem, shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application unistaller. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

  • I am trying to download windows 7 on my macbook pro but it keeps saying the disk cannot be partitioned because some files cannot be moved.

    Its all in the title. I am trying to use bootcamp to download windows 7 on my macbook pro mountain lion, but I keep getting this error. I tried going to Disk Utility, and my active volume already is formatted under Mac OS Extended (Journaled), so I don't know how to fix it. I already backed up the volume on an external harddrive. Also, everything under the volume I wanted to edit is greyed out, and when I try to restore the backup that I created via time machine, it pops up with another error that says "Could not unmount volume "/" (Resource Busy).
    Please be gentle, I'm used to using windows and don't know like anything about computers. If someone could give me a detailed explanation for these errors and a solution of how I could correctly download windows on my mac I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

  • Is there a way to use PM4.0 with Windows XPH?

    Is there a way to use PM4.0 with Windows XPH without purchasing the latest suite or upgrades?  I origionally purchased a suite with Pagemaker, Photostyler and Freehand just before Aldus went Adobe, and Win3.1 went Win95, then WinME and WinXP.  I miss PM and have several manyscripts saved on PM4.0 and can not export or import them to any current wordprocessing programs.  I was very far into one manuscript and am now in a position to finish it up but don't want to have to purchase a whole suite in order to do so.  Any suggestions for this old tightwad?  [email protected]

    Shouldn't that be Win3.0  c.1991?  And with a very early of version ATM (Ver 2?)  if you want to do anything with fonts?
    I think I have a WinME PC in the garage, which if you can re-format with DOS 5 and install Win3 instead (I may have the disks in the garage too), PM4 will positively scream along.
    I reckon it's non starter on a modern WinXP PC, as the OS is so different, but if you're willing to experiment, you never know!
    But if you want to open some old files to extract the text, you can open the PM4 files and save them with a d/l'ed trial copy of PM7, which will be OK on WinXP

  • Using an iPod with Windows Me

    As far as I know, you can't use iTunes with Windows Me. I knew that when I bought my iPod, but I figured surely I'd be able to use it without iTunes--with a different program, maybe, like Winamp. Apparently not: my computer wouldn't recognize the iPod as anything but a removable drive, which was fine, except I couldn't play anything on it that way. Tried the installation software that came with the iPod and was told it wouldn't work on anything but a Windows 2000 or XP either.
    So then I thought, hey, I've got a semi-functioning Mac OS X at work; I'll just use that to put everything on my iPod, even if I can't use iTunes at home. Great, except it doesn't have the right version of iTunes, won't go online to upgrade, and demands a password to install from the CD. Again using it as an external hard drive, I stick something on it anyway and try to bring it home, whereupon my Windows Me tells me that the iPod needs to be formatted.
    This is all making me crazy, because I paid good money for that iPod and I'd really love to, you know, use it. Is there any possible way I can use this iPod with Windows Me, with or without iTunes? Some kind of plug-in I can download, maybe?
      Windows ME  

    groans
    I finally figured I had nothing to lose--I'd just downloaded a new version of Real Player, which supposedly will work with iPods and Windows Me--and I let my computer format the iPod, hoping that would let it work with Windows again. Apparently not. Now it won't turn on--it's giving me the folder-and-exclamation-point icon. Resetting it didn't help, and I can't restore it because I can't install the software to my computer in the first place.
    I suppose the only thing to do is borrow a friend's computer or something.

    Thanks

    Saving each image as different size - is it an option for you?  I would save images with their name as: 20x30.png, 16x20.png etc etc.
    Or explain whether you want these in a webpage  in which case only one image is necessary and different sizes are displayed with good CSS code.  this is question for Dreamweaver forum if this is what you want.
