Using line-in microphone in boot camp

I've installed Windows 7 Ultimate on an early 2011 Core i5 MBP with Cirrus drivers, but I can't get Windows to recognize my iPhone earbuds as an input device. I know the computer is capable of doing it, since that's what I use to talk to people when I'm on OS X. Even after extensive googling (I'm talking 6+ hours), I can't figure out how to make it work with Windows. Any ideas?

you guys keep talking as if when you change the modes to "gamer" mode or w/e there is some dramatic change. visualy there is no change what so ever none of the tabs are different.there is only one port for a?mic it is the blue port and it is a line in port as well so one would think yes this would be a "flexiport" and you would have a setting for it however there is not. i have provided links to exactly what i am seeing this is strait from my desktop.

  • Can Windows 7 be installed using the latest version of boot camp on 3TB fusion iMac drive?

    I have tried unsuccessfully several times to install an .ISO version of 64-bit Windows 7 SP1 on my late 2012 iMac, equipped with a 3TB fusion drive. My proposed Windows partition, set up under boot camp assistant from the utility folder, is well under the 2.2TB size limit. I have carefully followed all the prescribed steps using the latest available software mounted on a FAT USB thumb drive.
    The install fails, however. early on when Windows fails to recognize the requested partition situated in the fourth slot. I get an error message that the partition can't be found. ("Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition.") I have picked the partition labled "BOOTCAMP."
    After booting back on the Apple side, the disk utility shows the partition as being there formatted as a FAT install.
    Apple has an update release with the 10.8.3 version of OS X that says this bug has been addressed and should now work.
    I would greatly appreciate some help.

  • Can I use Windows XP Home with Boot Camp and/or Parallels or VMFusion?

    I am planning on purchasing a new Mac Mini with Snow Leopard. I have a copy of Windows XP Home Edition that came with a 7 year old Compac computer, can it be used with either Boot Camp and/or Parallels or VMFusion? I REALLY don't want to purchase Windows if I can help it. Thanks!

    Read the boot camp requirements. I believe you will need a Windows disc that is stand alone. By that I mean a Windows disc that is not designed for a specific computer like your Compac. I believe that applies for Parallels and Fusion as well. Some of the newer disc that come with new computers may work since some of them are stand alone. I think your compac disc maybe married to your computer. You can try it when you get your Mac but it may not work.

  • Apple 23" display, using MacBook V2.1 in boot camp mode with XP Professi

    My MacBook has the Intel 950 Graphics card, In Boot camp mode with Windows XP Professional SP3, is there any way to get full screen resolution on the 23" Apple monitor. The windows screen has about 2" of black on all sides of the window

    no, tdm doesn't work under bootcamp regardless of which windows is being used, imho i don't think it will ever work under bootcamp

  • Possible to use Leopard disk to install Boot Camp on 10.4.1 ?

    I have a MacBook Pro running 10.4.1, and I have a number of Mac programs that are not yet compatible with Leopard. I would like to install Boot Camp, but I can't install Leopard until those programs are updated. I have already purchased Leopard (but haven't installed it), so I do have the Leopard disk. (I was asleep at the wheel and didn't download the Boot Camp beta before it was pulled.)
    Is it possible for me to use the Leopard disk to install Boot Camp on my 10.4.1 system now, but wait to make the Leopard OS upgrade later?
    Thanks

    Ah. There may be other mirrors around.
    You may be able to install just Boot Camp Assistant from the Leopard DVD, but I'd be a little suspicious about how well it would work, and whether it would cause other problems. You should certainly be able to use the Leopard DVD instead of burning a drivers CD.
    If you can't locate a copy of Tiger BCA, you might want to look at some of the posts that describe doing all of this manually - mostly that's creating a partition that Windows can use. Disk Utility will want to erase the entire drive to add a partition, though, which you may not be willing to do. Some third-party partition utilities claim to be able to do this without a reformat. Regardless of what path you take, be sure you have a good backup of anything not easily reinstalled or restored from other places!

  • Can i use pen drive to install boot camp on my mac?

    Can i use usb pen drive to install boot camp on my mac?

    No. Windows cannot boot from nor be installed on an external drive. That said, in the Windows world there are ways to put a bootable Windows installer on a flash drive. But you will have to find those on your own.

  • Using Casper 6 to clone Boot Camp drive

    I've cloned my XP Boot Camp drive using Casper 6.0 to a new NTFS internal drive but am unable to boot into the newly cloned drive.
    I've sent the log files from the cloning to Casper's developer and they've said everything looks correct.
    Pressing the option key on startup does not display the new'y cloned drive.
    Going to System Prefs>Startup does display the drive but when I select it for startup I get an error message saying something to the effect that I need to insert a bootable CD. I can boot from the Casper CD but I need to boot from the drive.
    The new drive is formatted NTFS using GUID Partition Table. Just like all 4 of my internal drives (2 of which are NTFS) I have not set any jumper blocks on the cloned drive. The drives are all SATA.
    Any ideas how I can resolve this?

    Well I sort of fixed my problem w/booting my Casper drive. I ended up purchasing Paragon Partition Manager Pro and created a bootable clone of my XP BootCamp drive on the first attempt.

  • IMac used as PC only through Boot Camp

    Crazy question on behalf of a friend of mine who loves the form factor of the iMac, but is unfortunately completely reliant on Windows applications for his profession:
    Has anyone used an iMac as basically a PC only...utilizing Boot Camp? Is there any downside to this? Apple hardware (especially in the all-in-one category) seems so much better than similar PC hardware. But I'm wondering if planning to completely relegate an iMac to being just a Windows box is a crazy idea. Any opinions appreciated.

    Windows 7 on iMac Late 2009 graphic fix:
    Installing graphic drivers on iMac
    iMac and ATI graphics with Windows is a PITA and real issue.
    There are work around solutions people came up with.
    Is a Mac OS better? I don't see it that way at all.
    That's why I now use and built two PCs and turned Mac Pro into Windows 7.
    Is a PC or a Mac better when it comes to Windows? No. Much better and easier to run Windows on PC hardware. Really.
    Windows 7 support for Core i-family of processors is a step ahead.
    OS X is so tightly tied to hardware, that can work against you.
    And Apple doesn't keep Windows drivers (Boot Camp) updated.

  • Use of Fiber Channel in Boot Camp with Windows XP

    Hi All,
    I am looking at getting a Mac Pro for a project that requires I use Windows XP under boot camp and wanted to know if there were any problems accessing a RAID array via the standard 4GB Fiber Channel adapter available through apple. I don't need to boot off this drive, just access data on it. Not a lot of information on the official apple support pages...
    Thanks!

    Yes, XP will be able to detect the expansion card if you download the appropriate drivers online. When bootcamp was first starting... this article circulated http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305401... summary, you should remove the fiber channel card before bootcamping. Since then the software has gone through the proper modifications that you can just plug the card in, boot into windows, and download the LSi driver for XP.
    So you'll have no problem setting this up.
    Cheers
    Ron

  • Using built-in iSight with Boot Camp and Yahoo Messenger

    Has anyone had a problem using Yahoo Messenger video conferencing by using the iSight?? It shows up as a USB device in the windows hardware but Yahoo says it isn't available. I can use the camera with other programs though. The camera works perfectly on the MAC side (of course). I can't figure out why I can use it for other programs but not Yahoo messenger. Any ideas.
    Thanks

    Welcome to Apple discussions, DualOSuser
    I no longer use YM in any OS, so I have no problems with it.
    If your only problem is with Yahoo video, have you checked a Yahoo Help search like this one? Yahoo should be able to give you the best help either to tell you how to make their software work with your system or to tell you the limitations of their software.
    You could also check Windows Help in case the problem might be with Windows.
    If you think the problem might be with Boot Camp, try searching Boot Camp Discussions.
    If you get no help via any of those alternatives, when you post back here for other ideas, tell us which Windows and YM versions you are using. Some Windows user may be able to offer suggestions based on your additional details.

  • Using osx snow leopard with boot camp, optical drive keeps ejecting windows 7 disc

    Upgraded my late 2008 macbook pro from leopard to snow leopard.  Added the max 4GB of RAM and replaced the working 250GB hard drive with a new 1TB hard drive.  Rebooted with time machine from external hard drive.  Now tried setting up Bootcamp to add a Windows 7 partition, but the optical drive keeps ejecting the Windows 7 disc after it spins for a few moments.  The optical drive will read other discs, just not the Windows 7 disc.  How do I fix this problem?

    you need to install the new bootcamp drivers from windows. boot into windows, insert the snow leopard DVD, open it and follow the instructions.

  • Using two hard drives with Boot Camp?

    Hi,
    I have two hard drives in my mac pro. They both show up on the mac side but when I use windows only the one shows up. Is there a way to have access to the second hard drive using windows?

    You need to install a product like MacDrive. This will enable Mac OS Extended format support for Windows. Be aware that if you do something like this all of your Mac files and OS will be vulnerable to Windows "issues" such as viruses and spyware etc. It is NOT recommended.

  • Can I use an external HDD for Boot Camp?

    I've got the new MacBook. So, I'm gonna be short on space if I allocate space from the in built Hard Disk or ssd whatever you want to call it..
    Is it in any way possible to set up the windows account with an external hard drive(with USB 3)? Or can I use time capsule(or whatever their external hard disk is called) as an external drive for windows?
    Since I'll mostly be playing games in windows, I'll need decent space there too...

    I'm not sure you're numbers are quite right. I have Windows 7 Home Premium 32bit installed right now with Service Pack 1 on my bootcamp partition. I've also got Steam and Deus Ex: Human Revolution installed. Steam and the game occupy 8.47GB of space. Total space occupied on the disk is 21.2 GB, which means Windows is taking 12.73 GB. So I'd say the system requirements of 16GB for 32bit and 20GB for 64bit definitely include cache and paging, and also account for service packs and drivers.
    You could easily get by with 20GB minimum space for bootcamp.
    Take a moment and read the posts on this site, users who installed Windows in a 30G or less partition come here regularly trying to find the easy way to make it larger. We'll help you when you need the space.
    Windows 7 should not be installed in less than a 40G partition, larger if the drive is an SSD.

  • Wondering if possible to use Windows XP SP1 with Boot Camp

    I just recently bought a mac a few days ago and i only have Windows XP SP1 cd. I was wondering if it was possible to run that instead of the Windows XP SP2 cd that it says in the requirements.

    Not directly; you need to slipstream SP2 or use Parallels Desktop.

  • Can I upgrade Vista to Windows 7 (using an upgrade disk) on boot camp when my Vista drivers aren't functioning?

    I have an early 2011 Macbook Pro and I'm trying to create a Windows partition. I have Windows Vista Ultimate, but apparently my computer can only support Windows 7 (I've tried everything to get drivers to work on Vista.) My question is, can I buy the $29.99 Windows 7 (shown here http://www.microsoft.com/student/en/us/windows/buynow/default.aspx) and upgrade my Vista, even though none of the drivers work? I can't afford to buy a full version of Windows 7, so I'm trying to work around it as best I can. Thanks so much for your help!
