Win 7 on MacBook pro under bootcamp and USB to serial
Hi all,
I am planning running win 7 under bootcamp on my macbook pro with mountain lion 10.8.2.
There is only one program I want to run under windows and that program needs to use a USB to serial converter made by KeySpan.
Question is once win 7 is installed will I then be able to install the windows drivers for the keyspan device as if I was on a win 7 PC?
Thanks

One more question: where do I download the apple drivers or does that happen automatically?
Nope. The first thing that the BootCamp Assistant offers you is to create a drivers CD or USB flashdrive. Once Windows installation is complete, you use that media to install drivers that allow Win7 to identify and use properly the Mac's hardware. Else it will use generic drivers that may not work fully.
Run the first step of Assistant again if you missed that. It won't mess up your installation.

Hi, I'm a complete novice. How do i install MS Office on MacBook Pro - have disks and USB Superdrive?
Attach the drive via USB. Insert the disk into the drive. It'll show up on the desktop. Double click the disk icon and then run the installer.

hi i downloaded windows on my macbook pro without bootcamp and it deleted the mac portion of my laptop and i downloaded os x but my laptop started off with os x lion and i want os x lion back on my laptop what do i do now?

I'm confused. Are you saying that your mac came with an older version of OS X, but you want to be able to use OS X Lion, which you downloaded from the App store? If this is not the case, what do you mean by "I downloaded os x but my laptop started off with os x lion and i want os x lion back"? Specifically, what do you mean by "I downloaded OS X" if your mac came with Lion? -
Running Acrobat 3D 8 capture on MacBook Pro under BootCamp
Has anyone tried running Acrobat 3D 8 (preview) on a MacBook Pro or Mac Pro or Intel iMac under BootCamp?
Specifically I am trying to find out if they are able to get 3D Capture (which requires OpenGL hardware acceleration) to work.
I have a MacBook Pro. I have not installed BootCamp yet. But if Acrobat 3D 8 capture works under BootCamp then I will install it. Thanks if any one has tested!I have seen what you're asking about work on a MacBook Pro.

MacBook Pro Retina Display and USB SuperDrive
Just wanted to let everyone know I had to update Mac OSX to be able to use the superdrive on the new macbook pro retina display. Before that it would show me what was on the disk but I couldn't access it. Even after I updated it I had to browse through finder to find the drive to be able to run what was on the disk, as it didn't pop up automatically. Just wanted to give people a heads up so if anyone else has this issue.
The superdrive not showing on the desktop may just be a setting in Finder. If it is listed in the Finder window then it is a setting in Finder to show, or not to show, DVD drives on the desktop.

How do I use a NORMAL headset (dual 3.5mm) on my new Macbook pro retina? No usb ports available and headset buddy adapter doesn't work.Hi Auracles1,
Here's a pretty discussion regarding wireless printing with this device and a Mac.
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-networking-and-wireless/HP-Officejet-6500-E 709n-wireless-issue/m-p/258853
I have a similar OfficeJet and it was a multi-step process. (1) Install printer drivers on the machine, (2) Add the printer queue in print & fax, (3) Run the "setup wizard" from the disc for wireless printing. -
My USB port on my Macbook Pro stopped working and i tried the SMC reset and the one closest to the SD port still continues to not work. Is there anything i can do besides bringing it in?
I would do another SMC reset. If nothing changes you should take the computer in to an Apple store for a free diagnostic. You should make an appointment.

I can print from my macbook pro using airport express usb connected printer, however my iPad and iphone are looking for an airprint printer. Can I direct the iPad/iphone to the usb connected printer. Macbook iphone and iPad confirm a wifi connection through the airport express.
You will need to install an App like Print Central on the iPad to try to print to the printer. It will allow you to print to most printers. Check with their support folks if you need more info.

Hi,
I purchased Huawei Dongle and trying to connect with my new MacBook Pro (OS- Mountain Lion) USB port 3.0 but unfortunately it does not support.
When I plugged in my macbook the power is flowing in dongle due green light blinking twice in every 3 sec but no connection found or diver shown.
Please let me know how I have to use it. I got some suggestion for USB hub 2.0 but It does not make any sense and driver installation.
So please suggest proper direction to use it and provide link to install any driver.
Thanks
Tauheed AhmadYes Clinton I did same, but they were (Huawei customer support) surprised about this problem, They behave like they have no idea about USB 2.0 and 3.0 knowledge. They handsUp that reason I posted my problem in this forum.
So is there any better solution to use any mediator between these USB version handling, Please let me know.
Thanks

I upgraded to mountain lion a week ago and now on startup of my macbook pro, microsoft excel and word start up automatically and then crash? very strange can anyone please help? I have checked the login items under users and groups and there is nothing.
Are you using the Office for Mac 2011 version, as you need to do? The Office for Mac 2004 is Not at all compatible with Mountain Lion, and the 2008 version has been noted to have some problems running with ML.
Hope this helps -
MacBook Pro C2D, Bootcamp, Windows XP Pro SP2, D-Link DWA-645 Driver
I just did a test by installing the D-link DWA-645 drivers in Windows XP running under Bootcamp and connecting to the new AirPort Extreme 802.11n base station to see if I can get the higher speeds. I can confirm that the D-link driver does enable the 802.11n capabilities under this environment. It works at both 2.4 and 5.0 GHz.
Both the MacBook Pro (as well as a few other recent Macs) use the Atheros AR5008 chipset for their wireless connectivity. Until Apple updates the Bootcamp drivers or Windows this seems to be a good workaround to get the full speed out of the 802.11n chipset in Macs under Bootcamp.I have the same computer and the same issue in Bootcamp. I haven't noticed any correlation with a context menu however. Hoping for an updated driver soon to fix this...

Install windows 7 on my macbook pro with bootcamp.
I am trying to install Windows 7 off of a dvd version of windows on my macbook pro with bootcamp. I have gotten to the installer screen of windows 7 and each time I proceed, I get an error message saying it does not recognize my drivers. I installed the drivers from bootcamp on a freshly formatted usb drive. I don't understand why it won't read the drivers.

Hi, I am trying to install Windows on my MacBook Pro with bootcamp. Every time I open bootcamp I am only able to check the first two boxes but not the third one saying "install or remove Windows 7". I did this before using the same computer and the same hard drive so I am not sure why this is happening now but did´t happen then. Any solutions ?
Was your Bootcamp info.plist manipulated to change any options?
