Using Airport on A mac When you booted into Windows XP

I'm a complete newbie when it comes to iMac computers. In a short while, I will receive my first imac Computers. As i Heard, you can access my wireless network at homewith the airport in my Mac. However, how do i access the web if i was to Boot in Windows Xp. Is there a special process that allows me to use the Airport card when Im using Windows Xp
  Windows XP  

Hi
The Airport connection will appear as a wireless connection in your network settings in Windows. Depending on your Windows configuration, it may well appear as an icon in your taskbar at the bottom right of the screen - you can double-click on this icon (and enter a password if necessary) to access your network.

  • How do I access the music from my Mac drive while booted into Windows?

    How do I access the music from my Mac drive while booted into Windows via Bootcamp? I tried using MacDrive but it's not supported for Vista 64-bit edition. Is there another program out there that I can use? I just want to be able to access my music that's on Leopard while in Vista. Any advice will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Your best bet is to move the music on the Windows side since Leopard will be able to read and play the music from the mounted Windows drive (Leopard will not be able write anything to the Windows NTFS partition).
    In your case it won't work the other way around.

  • If I want to run OSX Server and also want to run Windows 8 on Boot Camp, will server still run when I boot into windows?

    I want to set up OSX Server on my iMAC running Mavericks and also install Windows 8 on Boot Camp.  If I do this and boot into Windows, will that prevent server from running while I'm in Windows?

    No.  Bootcamp, as you've described, requires rebooting into your chosen operating system.  If you want to run both OS X and Windows at the same time from your hardware, look at virtualization tools like Parrallels or VMWare.

  • I'm also getting the dreaded Blue Screen Of Death when I boot into Windows

    This happened right after I upgraded to the most recent version of iTunes. Everytime I initially boot the computer, it would get into Windows, crashes immediately, then my system reboots and I'm able to get into windows no problem.
    Reading the help section it says to go and download & reinstall the previous version of iTunes. Ok simple enough, but where on earth can I find the previous version?? The link it provides takes me to the latest version. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place?
    Can someone please direct me to where I can download the previous version?
    Thanks very much.

    Hi,
    Thanks very much for the reply. I'm glad somebody was able to give me this information!
    So I went to the website and I downloaded 8.0.0.35, BUT when I tried to install it, I got an error message that said: "A later version of iTunes is already installed on this computer."
    I'm afraid if I uninstall my current iTunes, then I will lose all my playlists and stuff. There's no way to just install the old version on top of the new one? If no, is that the proper procedure to uninstall first and then reinstall?
    Thanks.

  • Does SyncToy autostart when you boot up Windows?

    I set up a Left to Right Echo File account to back up my media files between 2 hard drives on my PC. Does SyncToy auto start at windows boot up and immediately begin one-way syncing between the files I set up, or do I have to start the process
    manually? 

    Likely there was a delay booting up and Internet Recovery kicked in and was attempting to contact Apple's servers to download Internet Recovery, which is just like Recovery HD to fix your machine, then it cancelled for some reason.
    I suspect your hard drive is going to die soon, you need to backup your personal data off the machine as soon as possible.
    Step #9, then run through these other Steps to see what the problem might be.

  • When dual-booting with Windows 7, Mac OSX time settings reset every reboot.

    I have recently installed Windows 7 Professional on my mid 2010 MacBook Pro via BootCamp (Running Mavericks BTW). Everything runs grean and have not experienced any problems on the Windows side, but I have a problem with Mac OSX now. When I am using Windows 7, and I reboot into Mac OSX, I find that my time settings are wrong. It seems like my time zone has changed, because the date is correct, as well as the minutes, but the hour is always wrong. When I go to Date & Time in System Preferences, and my time zone is correct, but I still have to chage the hour in the time. Any ideas as to why this is happening and how to stop it would be greatly appreciated.

    If you dual boot your Windows PC with OS X or Linux, you may have experienced a problem in which your clocks reset themselves incorrectly every time you boot into Windows. Here's a simple registry edit to fix that.
    Essentially, the incorrect clock setting happens because OS X and Linux use GMT time while Windows tries to synchronize with your local time zone, getting confused when you reboot between the two. Apple's own Boot Camp drivers for Windows are supposed to fix this problem, though some users have noticed that it still happens even with the drivers installed, and some Linux users are left out in the cold. Furthermore, if you have a Hackintosh, you can't install the Boot Camp drivers, so you'll need to find another way around the problem.
    To fix it, just hit Start and type regedit.exe in the search box. Hit Enter and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation. Right click anywhere in the right pane and hit New > DWORD (32-bit) Value. Name it RealTimeIsUniversal, then double click on it and give it a value of 1.
    Lastly, reboot into OS X, then reboot back into Windows. You should now notice that your clock actually displays the correct time.

  • MAX shows PXI card when booted into Windows but not in Hypervisor mode

    Hello again all you helpful forum-goers!
    I'm having some difficulties with a Hypervisor system seeing the two Pickering 6 channel programmable resistor cards that are loaded into the PXI chassis.  When I boot into Windows mode, MAX sees them under the My System just fine.  When I then run the Hypervisor configuration software, I see them both listed, and have them assigned to the Real-Time OS.  However, when I then boot into Hypervisor mode, MAX does not see them under the Remote Systems -> Hypervisor Target -> Chassis (or anywhere else), and the drivers report not seeing any modules either when I debug my code running on the real-time system.
    Does anyone have any idea what setting or configuration I might have incorrect?  Is there any other information I can provide that would be relevant or useful to answer this question?  I'm not the main hardware guy, he just got married and so isn't available, so I'm out of my comfort zone.  ;-)  I write the software that runs on the system, though, so I'm not completely clueless.  I know we just replaced the controller in the main chassis with a faster one (unfortunately I don't have the number on hand, the simulator is down in the lab), but I also know we are using that same controller and Pickering card on a different simulator and it is working just fine.
    Any ideas?  I very much appreciate your time!
    -Joe
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Nevermind, the answer turned out to be that I did not have the drivers fully installed on the real-time system.  Apparently that caused it to not recognize the cards.  I never did figure out / remember exactly how to install the Pickering drivers on the real-time side, but fortunately I was able to just copy all the files that had "Pickering" in their name from the C:\ni-rt\system folder of the real-time file directory from another simulator to this one.  ;-)
    Cheers!

  • No SATA drive after booting into Windows (BootCamp 5.0)

    One of my DVD burners has failed in one of my 2008 Apple Mac Pro's.  I pulled the drive out (it was PATA/IDE) and replaced with a new LG WH14NS40 Blu-Ray Burner.  I had to pull the fan out (temporarily) and run a new 24" SATA cable (with right-angle connector) from one of the two extra SATA ports (on the motherboard) to the new actual SATA drive, and also install a MOLEX to SATA power connector.
    I managed to get the drive installed (and working).  I now at least have a Blu-Ray burner in my 2008 Apple Mac Pro (with OS X 10.8.3 Mountain Lion).
    The problem seems to be with when I boot directly into Windows 8.  When I boot into Windows 8, the two ports on the motherboard are disabled and the latest BootCamp 5.0 drivers don't seem to support the two SATA ports on the motherboard (they seem to be disabled).  So when I boot directly into Windows, my LG WH14NS40 Blu-Ray drive disappears.
    I really wish Apple would have just "done things right" from the very beginning and took the time to write decent BootCamp 5.0 drivers that supported the two SATA ports on the motherboard, so that users who need to replace their old/dying/aging PATA drives could easily replace them with SATA drives and use the two SATA ports on the motherboard.
    Also it would have been nice if Apple would have taken the time to write good BootCamp 5 drivers (for Windows 8) that support booting from the two SATA ports on the 2008 Apple Mac Pro motherboard.
    I've heard of many people that have tried installing RAID Controller Cards (from OWC) in their 2008 Apple Mac Pro to upgrade their four hard drive caddys from SATA II (3Gbps) to SATA III (6Gbps) but unfortunately the RAID Controller Cards don't seem to be bootable and the only option is to install a fifth (bootable) hard drive into the Apple Mac Pro and this is normally done by installing a bootable SSD drive into one of the DVD-drive bays.  Unfortunately if you use a SATA SSD drive (which most SSD's are SATA) and then use one of the two SATA ports on the motherboard to connect it, then you go back to having the problem of not having a boot drive when you boot directly into Windows 8 (since there are no BootCamp 5 drivers for the 2008 Apple Mac Pro that support the two SATA ports on the 2008 Apple Mac Pro motherboard).
    This seems to be a never-ending problem, and we have twelve 2008 Apple Mac Pro's (along with an office full of 2008/2009/2010/2013 Apple Mac Pro's) and we're getting extremely frustrated with Apple's lack of support in BootCamp 5.0 drivers for the 2008 Apple Mac Pro (and the two SATA ports on the mainboard).
    Please fix this problem, and please update the BootCamp 5.0/5.1 drivers (for 2008 Apple Mac Pro users) and please support the two SATA ports on the Apple Mac Pro mainboard, and please make those two SATA ports on the motherboard bootable and usable in both Microsoft Windows 8 and in OS X 10.8.3 Mountain Lion.  Please update the BootCamp 5.0 drivers to support the two onboard SATA ports in Windows 8 (so that my Blu-Ray burner is viewable/usable in Windows 8).

    Just as a follow-up, yes it does seem to be possible to get both SATA ports on a 2008 Apple Mac Pro working (in Windows 8).
    You need to enable AHCI in Windows 8.
    First boot into Windows 8 and then go into the windows registry (regedit) and enable AHCI in your registry.
    You can do this by going to the following registry key:
    Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\storahci
    Set the "Start"  Value data to "0" (to enable AHCI in Windows).
    After AHCI is enabled in Windows, then reboot your computer and now the SATA drive (connected to the ODD port) should appear in Windows (under devices).
    Now the next step is to update your AHCI drivers (in Windows) to the latest Intel drivers, so that your SATA device will actually work (and work properly).
    The latest Intel RST drivers can be found here:  https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&ProdId=2101&DwnldID=2306 0&ProductFamily=Software+Products&ProductLine=Chipset+Software&ProductProduct=In tel%C2%AE+Rapid+Storage+Technology+(Intel%C2%AE+RST)&lang=eng
    Download the 64-bit drivers (if you are running 64-bit Windows).
    After you install the latest drivers, and perform a reboot, your SATA drive should now work under windows.
    You can find a long detailed thread about enabling AHCI (in Windows 7) here:  http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=760482
    The thread listed above is a bit old/dated (2009?) but it does give detailed step-by-step instructions for those that want to enable AHCI (and get those two onboard SATA ports working in Windows 8 or Windows 7).
    I managed to get everything working in Windows 8, and I was able to enable AHCI in Windows 8, installed the latest AHCI drivers and I'm now able to use my SATA Blu-Ray burner in my 2008 Apple Mac Pro.
    Hope this helps!

  • Drivers don't load on every boot into Windows.

    I have Windows 7 installed on my Mac Pro via Boot Camp, and for the most part everything works wonderfully.
    However, 50% of the time when I boot into Windows, the Apple drivers don't work, rending my keyboard volume, brightness, eject buttons, etc. all useless.
    The other 50% of the time they boot up and everything works perfectly.
    Both scenarios happen from both cold boots and restarts, and I can't figure out what would cause the drivers to fail to load, any ideas?
    Thanks for any help!

    Nevermind, it seems I had forgotten to install the application for that purpose (Volume Control Panel) upon the installation of the driver with the CD...

  • Is normal that appear a spot  when i use the camera? and when you apply the zoom, the spot increases its size?

    Is normal that appear a spot  when i use the camera? and when you apply the zoom, the spot increases its size?

    Morning alex navarro,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For troubleshooting on this, take a look at this article:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
    Third-party cases can interfere with the autofocus/exposure feature and the flash (iPhone 4 only); try removing the case if you have image-quality issues with photos.
    If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
    Hope this helps,
    Mario

  • Black screen when trying to boot into Windows 7

    Hello everyone.
    Today we've encountered an issue with one of our MacBook Pros with Windows 7 installed. The computer was booted into Windows 7 (it's strictly used as a Windows machine by this particular user) and after a time of inactivity it went to sleep. It wouldn't wake up from it's sleep so we tried a hard boot. At that point we would get the grey screen, the Apple tone wouldn't sound off and it would just go to a black screen (by default we have it booting to windows). So then we reset the PRAM. Now, we get the apple tone and we can boot into the Mac side. But when we try and boot into Windows, we get a blank screen.
    What's even more interesting, if I try and boot into a Windows install disk to do a boot repair, it gives me a black screen. If I even try to boot from a live Linux cd, I get a blank screen! When important thing I then noticed was that the cd spinned for a couple minutes, then stopped. So I began to wonder if it was still loading the OS like expected, but just wasn't displaying it.
    So I booted into Windows, got the blank black screen. Then I went into another computer, fired up remote desktop and voila! I'm in the machine!
    So the problem is this: When booting into ANYTHING other than OS X, the display turns off.
    What can we do?

    Hello there,
    I have a similar problem! Windows 7 shutdown unexpectedly and since that I can not reboot in windows anymore only with safe mode where everything is a mess.
    Also when it's trying to reboot in windows a blue window appears,says something about drivers  and it is counting something (79.78...till100)but  I m not able to read it cause it disappears immidiately and then black screen and then it turns to reboot in mac which works fine.
    I m sorry if I confused you with my english...
    If anyone knows please help!
    Thanks

  • Mac Pro 2006 boots into OS fine but graphics freezes on grey apple logo

    When I boot my Mac Pro it boots into Mac OS X fine. I can access it remotely and all seems fine however the monitor only displays the grey apple with the whit background. I know the graphics card isnt over heating because I have removed any dirt/dust and had additional fans blowing the card and it is running cool.
    does this mean the graphics card is dead? if so what can i replace it with as the machine is now 5 years old?
    the current graphics card is a GeForce 8800 GT.

    That last one is not a good sign. Kernel panic when starting from an installer DVD either mean you are using an installer version that cannot boot your model or there's a hardware problem.
    I'm thinking your original thought may be valid. It would be provable if you had another GPU to try, but if you don't then I suppose you should replace the one you have. Of those available the ATI 5770 is an excellent replacement choice for both performance and cost unless you want to look for a different replacement card on eBay.

  • I was wondering can i install windows on my mac when i have downloaded windows form the internet and do not have a C.D.??

    I was wondering can i install windows on my mac when i have downloaded windows form the internet and do not have a C.D.??
    Because when i get to the part in Boot Camp Assistant that says Start Windows Installation it says u need a disc... is there no other way??

    Get the physical copy (disk) this will enable you to reinstall when (not if ) it messes up.
    Make sure to purchase acopy that is compatible with your OSX
