Will a 10 point touchscreen work as well on a mac with windows 8 (Bootcamp) as it would on a normal PC?

I'm just on the verge of purchasing a touchscreen monitor and a Mac Mini and installing Windows 8 using Bootcamp. I was just wondering if anybody knows how well supported Windows 8 is on Macs?
I have a Macbook Air with Windows 7 and it runs exactly as it would on any other Windows only laptop, but I wondered if this will be the case with Windows 8 as it's a newer OS, especially the touch control?
I would use windows 8 75% of the time and specifically rely on the touchscreen interface so I would really need the touchscreen to be flawless while in Windows 8. Alternatively the monitor I'm looking at can be purchased as an all in one but I'd really prefer the Mac Mini for the awesomeness of Apple Care and to have the best of both worlds as far as OS's are concerned.
Any info or advice from anyone that's using Windows 8 with Bootcamp and specifically with a touchscreen monitor would be awesome!

    If its animated you'll want to convert it to an FLV file and embed it in your webpage.

    Otherwise a standard JPEG or PNG image file should suffice.

  • DVD optical drive no longer works with Windows under bootcamp or parallels

    For some strange reason, the DVD optical drive- Optiarc 5680 on my 27" iMac, no longer works anymore with Windows under Parallels or Bootcamp. It used to work perfectly fine before, but now it just shows up with a yellow exclamation mark under Device Manager and Code 39 "Windows cannot load the device driver..."
    The DVD drive continues to still work fine with OSX. But it won't work anymore under Windows via Parallels or bootcamp, despite trying to uninstall the optical device drivers, update, reinstall, etc. Anybody else experiencing this or have any ideas?

    Finally found the solution for anybody else who runs into this problem. It was solved by doing a registry mod in Windows from this site:
    http://aumha.org/win5/a/xpcd.php#problems
    described in “My CD drives have vanished (from Explorer, Device Manager, etc.)”
    After applying the registry changes the DVD optical drive worked instantly again with Windows....sigh...guess I can't blame the Mac on this one.

  • Will any Cat5 Ethernet cables work equally well for Gigabit ethernet ports?

    I'm almost embarrassed to ask this, but I must. Are some Cat 5 Ethernet cables designed for Gigabit Ethernet? The Airport Extreme Base Station(b/g) uses Gigabit Ethernet for its LAN and WAN ports. I think my Comcast modem's single Ethernet port does, also. Currently, I use a Cat 5 100Mbs cable to connect the modem to the AEBS. So, I'm wondering if I can get faster throughput with a Cat 5 1000Mbs cable (if such a thing exists).

    In addition to Bob's comments, it's important to understand that Gigabit Ethernet requires using all four pairs of wires inside the cable ... regardless of whether that cable is CAT-5, CAT-5e, or CAT-6 certified. The real difference of the categories is how high of a frequency can they support. For example CAT-6 is rated for 10 Gigabit traffic. It's not that CAT-5 won't work, but it's not guaranteed to do so.
    If you have any Ethernet runs in home that is supplying connections for both data & phone lines on the same cable, you will NOT achieve Gigabit speeds on those cables as the installer used at least one of the necessary pairs for the phone line.

  • I HAVE A MAC NETWORK WITH A HP LASER-JET AND EVERYTHING IS WORKING FINE.  I ALSO HAVE A WINDOWS BASED MACHINE THAT I WOULD LIKE TO PRINT TO AS WELL.  HOW CAN I ACCOMPLISH THIS?

    Make sure that you Printer Sharing enabled on the Mac Mini.   System Preferences > Sharing > Printer Sharing
    Do the same on the PC
    On the PC, try downloading and installing Bonjour Print Services for Windows v2.0.2
    Run the application on the PC to see if it will discover your printer and install the printer.

  • Wifi on iPhone 5 not working, as well as, iPhone 4S with software update

    I just got the iPhone 5 and it will not connect to wifi.  I have tried to reset the network settings and turn off wifi then back on, nothing is working.  Also have an iPhone 4S that I just upgraded software on and now the wifi wont work on it either. I have a total of six apple products (iPhones/iPads) and the only ones no longer connecting to wifi are the ones that have the new software on them.  What is the problem?

    close out of the phone app, double tap home button and completely close out of the app.
    then do a reset, no data loss.  hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for your phone to boot back up.
    Then check voicemail again.

  • Will my Razer Gaming products work on my Macbook pro 2011 with bootcamp?

    I have purchased 16gb of RAM for my Macbook pro late 2011 so bootcamp will run very fast when I purchase it. I was wondering if my Razer gaming accesories will work on my Macbook with bootcamp, and for future purchases of gaming accessories. Thanks

    Boot Camp is
    a misname for an Apple oriented GPart etc to partiton a drive for use by Windows natively, drivers, a control panel for Windows, and download utility for those drivers.
    You are running Windows natively which is 93% the same as running on most any PC hardware.
    So it should.

  • Why am I getting an invalid serial number response when trying to install Photoshop Elements 10 on my new Windows 8.1 PC. It worked perfectly well on old now defunct Windows Vista PC

    i'm not able to install Photoshop Elements 10 on my new PC. I'm told the serial number is invalid. Why? It has 24 digits separated into 4 digits at a time by hyphens. Am I typing it wrongly?

    i just had same issue.  never installed on old pc which is a window 7 convert from xp.  Now installing on laptop dell win 8, would not accept number. so i decided to install on the win 7 old pc (which has no firewall security because I'm dumping machine)  and it worked.  So I turned off firewall on win 8 machine and it worked.  I had read that  you should turn off the fire wall.  Try that.  Di

  • I want to run Photoshop and Light room on my mac, but I'm worried that osx only running eight bits of color will lead to lower quality picture results. Should I stick with Windows?

    The headline sums it up. Will running the programs in Windows result in better pictures? Do professionals do touch ups on Mac? Thanks for your responses! I'm new to this.

    "Deep colour" - meaning a 10bit colour driven display - can only be achieved in hardware with a screen and a graphics card that support both. The average Windows system does not support this - few do. Only Windows workstation level graphics cards from AMD and Nvidia support this option. These are generally more expensive than consumer cards of the same caliber.
    Many screens with so-called 10bit support often fake the extra colours by introducing dithering - true 10bit displays are only manufactured by companies such as Eizo - and they are expensive: prices range to around almost $2000 for a 24" 10-bit screen from Eizo. You also need a special HDMI cable, I believe.
    Also, the software must support a 10bit workflow. These are far and between. I believe even Lightroom still does not support this - Photoshop does from version CS5 and up.
    If you have a hard time understanding all this: no worries. The reason why you are confused and worried is because you lack the know-how, and, subsequently, reading all that "10bit colour is unsupported on Macs" made you anxious.
    In reality, while Windows does support this (and Macs do not), almost no-one uses it currently (beyond high-end film/FX work, cad/cam, and a couple of high end Photographers). Any generic consumer and even most workstation level Windows machines will not support it unless all the hardware and software is properly set up. And it is very costly. Colour management becomes even more intricate with 10bit displays.
    In a nutshell: much ado about nothing. A Mac is great for design work, as are well equipped Windows machines. By far the majority of professionals in Photography, Graphic design, Video and Effects editing, and so on, currently work without 10bit hardware, and produce outstanding work.
    Unless you are spending at least around $2000 on screen hardware, and limit yourself to a very small group of applications that also cost an arm and a leg, you are not going to be able to use 10bit on Windows either.
    You can forget what you have read - it is of no consequence to you. (or if you are interested, learn the technical backgrounds.)  Perhaps in 10~20 years the situation will have changed.

  • ITunes stops working when syncing my iPhone 4 with windows 7, why?

    I got my new iPhone 4 today, I am trying to sync my music, photos and such and iTunes constantly stops working. All I can do is shut down the program. I have restarted my computer AND the iPhone bu no such luck. Any help out there?

    I just got a new HP Win 7 64x Intel i7 computer, installed the latest 64x iTunes etc and tried to move my iPad over.   It will synch everything except for photos and videos; it gives the error "iTunes stopped working, program will close" when I try to synch my photos.   I have tried to uninstall and reinstall etc. to no avail, it just keeps doing the same thing.   
    I went back to my old computer 32x machine and successfully re synched and put my photos back on.   This seems to indicate that the problem is either with iTunes compatibility with the version of Win 7 on my HP computer or with the iPad compatibility.
    Anyone find the solution to this bug?

  • Keyboard not working with Windows 7 Bootcamp

    I am using Window 7 with bootcamp. Its been working fine but for some reason the keyboard doesn't appear to to work as I can't even sign in. I've tried rebooting several times but no joy.

    Did you install the Windows support software? Did you check in Windows sytem to see if the drivers are working? Check the Boot Camp help documnets http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/ and visit the Boot Camp forum https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp

  • Get "Licensing for this product has stopped working" error on my New Mac with old Adobe software

    hi people, i've recently purchased a new machine and can't work out how to get Illustrator cs3 or photoshop cs5 working on it...
    photoshop says "Licensing for this product has stopped working. you cannot use this product at this time. you must repair the problem by uninstalling and then reinstalling this product or contacting your IT administrator or Adobe customer support for help", which is strange as it said some different before i tried asking adobe support about this...
    illustrator says the same thing.
    customer support said i need to ask here because they can't provide support for these products.

    thanks for response, let's start the dialogue.
    what OS version?: OS version 10.9.3
    Have you deactivated Photoshop on the old machine? No, i am not inclined to try this as i do need a working version for work, customer support tells me that i've purchased a serial key but they won't tell me what it is, just that i could try using it...  can't find any reference to this on my machine though:(
    On how many computers have you (or someone else) installed Photoshop and register with your license?1 i think..
    Have you tried uninstalling, cleaning and re-installing? no, though i've tried to find out how and can't even manage that:(   went to the adobe site and could only find their creative cloud thing which requires me to pay monthly:/...
    thanks

  • ISight stopped working with windows messenger (bootcamp/parallels)

    A few days ago I installed windows xp pro via bootcamp. After installing the drivers and everything, windows messenger was great with the iSight and everything. Just today I installed parallels, and after opening windows i no longer have a "webcam" installed, and i noticed that even my "speaker" and "Microphone" settings have gone back to "Intel(r) Integrated Audio"
    Any ideas how i could get this working again? The audio actually works, but I just need windows to find my iSight again...

    Hi,
    Parallels is not an application I have so I can not test this further.
    I would think the answer may lie in the BootCamp forum where people may have tried the same thing as you or at any Parallels Forum you can find.
    (Start here as there are links to the unintegrated ones).
