Win 8.1 boot camp

Hi, I installed windows 8.1 using bootcamp.  Windows does not recognize the wifi which works perfectly fine on the MAC side.  Tried setting up a new network but it does not recognize that I have any networking hardware

Hello,
I bought windows 8.1 online at microsoft. Do you know where I can get those drivers? I never used windows before, but this time I need to use it for a working program (cubex3D) only works with windows.

    Hi All,
    I tried this and it improved my FPS in games yesterday, still not getting FPS I would desire, but its become playable.
    Repasted here from another thread:
    My retina MacBook Pro has had terrible graphics performance problems for a couple of weeks. I searched all over various forums and tried everything: resetting SCM, manually selecting discrete/integrated graphics card, deleting graphics kexts, etc. Nothing helped until I found this: https://discussions.apple.com/message/19880198#19880198
    Now my rMBP has silky smooth graphics again!
    The directions in that post are a little hard to understand so I cleaned them up here:
    Step 1: Delete system windowserver preferences
    In the Finder, from the menu bar, select "Go -> Go to Folder..."
    Enter: /Library/Preferences/
    Delete the file called com.apple.windowserver.plist
    Step 2: Delete user windowserver preferences
    In the Finder, from the menu bar, select "Go -> Go to Folder..."
    Enter: ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/
    Delete all files that start with com.apple.windowserver   (On my rMBP, there was one file called com.apple.windowserver.12AFB147-95D6-5C70-8F62-C1E4F2BE81BE)
    Step 3: Reset the PRAM    (These instructions are from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379)
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    Hopefully this helps others with bad graphics performance on retina MacBook Pros.
    For anyone that wants to check out the problematic plists from my rMBP, here are the files:

  • Can I install Win XP with Boot Camp?

    I have a need to install a copy of Win XP but Boot Camp doesn't seem to support it. Is there any way around this?

    Not the answer I wanted to hear but it was what I expected. I have Parallels but I really needed the Boot Camp installation.
    Thanks,

  • Can't install win 7 using boot camp in Lion

    Hi !
    help please!!
    i can't install win 7 (any version)  on my MBP 13", i'm running Lion and that's when it all started!
    had no problem  on SL using boot camp and win 7 but now my win 7 installation just stops on last
    install step screen and that screen is there forever...
    did my steps like i've always did it using snow leopard and now it just won't work...

    Are you trying to install the 64 bit version of Windows 7? I get exactly the same problem. I'm going to try the 32bit version and see how I get on. I don't think 64 bit is supported just yet.

  • Installing Win 8.1 over Win 7 in Boot Camp

    I recently replaced my 2008 MBP with a MBP(retina). I had been running Win 7 Pro on the older machine and thought that it might be OK to install 8.1 on the new machine using Boot Camp. As with most installs that I've been reading, it didn't go very well. I received the following message:
         " Windows could not update the computer's boot configuration. Installation cannot proceed".
    I searched the many discussions surrounding this error message and it appears not to be an isolated thing. There have been many well thought out fixes however most have been at the sacrifice of EFI, which is clearly an advantage to have working when using Boot Camp. I tried the several "fixes" that didn't require a great deal of tinkering within the OS, including downloading the latest ISO from MS, but still the installation failed just as it was about to complete.
    Getting fed up with this I installed Windows 7 Pro without a hitch.

    I got an mid 2011 imac and installed windows 7 pro ultimate 64bit on it
    and upgraded it digitally to windows8 and then upgraded it from windows marketpalce to windows8.1 works great

  • HT3986 HOW TO INSTALL WIN 7 VIA BOOT CAMP ON MAC BOOK PRO 15".

    hi everyone , I m new to this forum. I wish to know the process of installing the Win 7 on macbook pro if my superdrive is not working.
    Kindly help...i need to install it urgently...I cant use the applications in parallel environment.

    Have you tried a USB installer?
    Boot Camp Assistant will now ask if you want to install the Windows installer with the Boot Camp Dirvers onto a USB drive on some supported and not so support machines.
    Do a search for "Windows USB installer" on Yahoo/Google and there should be quite a few.

  • Running win 7 on boot camp

    I am trying to set up Windows 7 on my brand new Mac book pro. 15 inch retina screen. I7 processor.
    Apple support says the  version of Boot Camp on my brand new machine only supports, Win 8.
    I don't want to have to buy another version of Windows, but it appears I may have no choice.
    Does anyone know another work-around? What about parallels?
    If forced to do so,
    Can I buy and download Windows on line? Or must I have a physical copy on CD Rom?
    Thanks so much.

    You can use Parallels which does not rely on Boot Camp. Or you can try to find the previous version of Boot Camp Assistant that does support Win 7.
    You will have to go to the Microsoft site in order to see what is available for purchase online. I think they only sell you an updater for Win 8 online for download. But you must buy the DVD for a full installer. Not sure, so you will need to check it out.
    For future reference do not reveal your email address on the forums.

  • How do you Install Win XP using Boot Camp without use of an optical drive?

    So I'm about at my wits end. I'm try to get Windows XP on my OS 10.5.5 MacBook Pro. I've run into what seems to be a bit of a dead in. Unfortunately my optical drive has gone stupid on me and won't allow me to get through the entire set-up. The Mac has know trouble seeing the Installation Disc. After my partition has been created and I click start Windows Installer, the computer reboots in a normal fashion up to when you get the apple with spinning progress wheel. At this point the screen goes black and I get a "-" blinking in the top right corner of the screen. I figure it's just trying to boot from Win Install disk but it just kinda sits there. So here's my question. Is there some way to boot this Windows Installation from anything else but the CD? I luckily have an image of the WinXP CD in about 5 formats. I'm going absolutely crazy because I had just Installed WinXP not more than an hour before I ran into this initial problem but wanted to change the WinXP partition to FAT 32 as opposed to the NTSC format I accidently used. I would really appriciate any help in my dark hour.
    System Info
    MacBook Pro 4.1
    Mac OS 10.5.5
    Bootcamp 2.1
    Windows XP with Service Pack 2
    HL-DT-ST DVDRW GSA-S10N
    System was just recently re-installed with fresh copy of a software and updates.

    Kirkdan:
    I really would like to help you and get your issue resolved in your dark hour as you said. I am afraid that I do not have good news for you. This is because the limitation put on by this entire process of installing Windows via boot camp.
    The answer to you question to install windows from any other medium other than your built-in optical drive is a NO. This won't work since once Windows begins to install then it will not have all the drivers installed to recognize the external CD drive (USB/Firewire) and installation will halt.

  • Cannot install win xp by boot camp

    acturally, I install the Win Xp sp2 before, but I found the network very unstable, so I uninstall it. and the HD has already separated in two parts. however, when I want to install the win xp sp2 again, the Boot Camp showed that it cannot install in the HD which has two parts. to , How can I combin the two parts as original? use boot camp or others? thank you so much`!!

    My guess is you deleted the Windows OS not using Boot Camp Assistant (which for future reference is the easiest way to to do it) & now you have an empty partition plus the normal OS X one, what you call 'separated parts.'
    If so, just as the Boot Camp documentation mentions, Boot Camp Assistant will refuse to set up the drive for Windows since it only does this for a drive with a single OS X partition.
    One simple solution is to run Disk Utility, select your HD from the list (not the volume name like "Macintosh HD" indented under it), & click on the "Partitions" tab. Locate the empty Windows partition in the window -- it should be the lower one of the two you see -- & click the minus button to remove it. Then drag the tab at the bottom right of the OS X partition down all the way to the bottom so that it uses all the space the just deleted partition occupied. Click Apply, wait for the procedure to end, & quit Disk Utility.
    Now run Boot Camp Assistant again, following the instructions in the documentation, & it should be fine.

  • Features in win XP via boot camp

    has anyone found ways to make some of the mac features work in windows?
    for example, in order to get to the task manager u have to manually run it, because windows thinks your delete key is a "backspace" and the mac dosen't have a delete key. this makes it hard to hit ctrl-alt-del.
    perhaps the biggest thing that will be a problem is the ability to right click. anyone know how to set a shift-click or something to be a right click?
    Also, the volume and brightness keys do not seem to work in win xp.
    and, the 2 fingered scrolling seems to be a constant anoyance to not have in windows.
    other than that everything seems to be working good for me constantly switching between windows and mac.
    black mb   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    The key board issues can be alleviated via a keyboard mapper, just google it. As for right click, this utility will make it happen for you http://tinyurl.com/gbmmh
    Brightness should work via a icon in the windows tool tray (next to clock). There should be a icon that looks like a screen, click it and it'll allow you to increase/decrease screen brightness. That should have been installed with the boot camp driver disk you created. Volume same thing, use the sound icon in the task bar.
    CTRL-ALT-DEL can be accessed via right clicking the task bar and chosing task manager.
    You can't two finger scroll however. If you're not doing games or video editing in windows you may wish to get parallels which will allow you to run XP while in OS X and most everything works and quite well, including two finger scrolling.

  • How to capture snapshot in Win XP in boot camp

    My Mac Book is booting in Win XP. How can I capture snapshot.

    Not exactly a Mac question but a Windows operation question. For starters post over in the Boot Camp forum:

    Other than that speak to your Windows friends.

  • Windows Group policy on win XP via boot camp

    i have a MBP 17" and im trying to block some web pages for a certain non admin user ....does Windows group policy or the GPMC still work on win XP pro via boot camp
    thanks

    Yes it should work fine. If you are planning to work your mac on your network, there are a few security items you will need to disable within the GPMC to be able to access shares on windows boxes - running windows though will have no differences as it is essentially just another windows box.

  • Does setup on Mac side set AEX for Win side too (Boot Camp)?

    Hi - I'm using Airport Express to USB/print from the Mac side of Boot Camp
    but Windows can't see the printer from the Win xp side. Can one configuration
    serve both simultaneously? If i have to set up AEX from the Win side do I need
    to switch configurations when going back to Mac?
    Thanks for any help.
    Tom

    1. If the Windows partition is in FAT32 format or you have an external FAT32 disk, such as an USB flash drive, copy the files to the FAT32 disk, and then to the other partition as needed. If no FAT32 disk or partition is available, you will need to install either MacFUSE or MacDrive, and use the OS into which that software was installed to transfer the files.

  • Win 7 in Boot Camp: Drivers will not install from snow leopard cd.

    I have a early 2011 Macbook Pro (8,1). I am loading Windows 7 with Boot Camp, but cannot get any of the drivers to install. (ethernet, video, etc)
    I have tried both the Snow Leopard cd (I think it's Boot Camp 3.2?), and also downloading drivers online, neither work. I have tried reformatting/reinstalling, and even tried loading a old copy of XP and I had the exact same problem there too.
    What happens: I install the drivers successfully, restart, and nothing has changed. I can see the drivers installed in the programs list (when I go to "uninstall programs") but if I go to Device Manager all of the devices (ethernet, video, etc) show a yellow triangle and say they need drivers! It's like I'm installing the wrong drivers or something.
    I can't find any other posts with a problem like this, I have been working on this forever and am kind of at my wits end. Any ideas??

    Don't believe what Apple posts.
    If you don't have EFI64 like 2008 and later Mac Pro, then you will run into a hurdle and have to modify the Windows DVD to get it to boot and install.
    To Apple, and due to the non-standard way they implemented UEFI, and that ours (2006/7 Mac Pro) all there was that we got was the 2005 EFI32 (affects our choices in graphics cards too).
    I installed 32-bit, then installed 64-bit on another partition.
    The DVD can be modified, from Windows, most easy method would be from any of the VMs like VirtualBox. Then use one of the 2-3 Imgburn or other tricks mentioned online (search for "Jowie" and search for the "Select CD-ROM" error you get trying to boot).

  • Clock Un-Sync Between OS X and Win 7 on Boot Camp

    I use OS X Mountain Lion and Windows 7 Pro on Boot Camp. I set the clock on both OS to UTC+7. However, the clock on Mountain Lion always leaps 7 hours further than Windows. So, when Windows' time is correct at UTC+7, OS X's clock would be UTC+14. When I set the OS X's clock to UTC+7, Windows' time would be UTC+0.
    Is there any way to fix this issue? I wish I could just ignore it, but it has messed up my Outlook, file records, & backup data.
    Thanks.

    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

  • None of my games work in Win XP via Boot Camp

    I have the 20" iMac (MA200LL/A i believe is the model) and it has the 2GHz Intel Core Duo, 1.5 GB RAM, and 250 GB Hard Drive with Radeon X1600. I have installed OS X Leopard and through the embedded Boot Camp software, have installed Windows XP Home SP2. It runs great except I cannot play games, and SOME videos are displayed wierd. (Mostly streaming videos, but some videos I have on my hard drive don't work either) The video problem was solved my turning off Windows Video Acceleration. However that made it so I couldn't watch them in full screen. Now my games when loaded up, are glitchy right off the bat, flashing and such. And usually I can't get past the Menu. Unreal Tournament Game of the Year Edition plays, however the movement is SLOWWWW. The game Eragon is the only one so far to play smoothly. All others are not working. I have installed the latest ATI drivers for the Mobility Radeon X1600. Still don't work.
    Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! I have JUST switched to Mac and this iMac was my first purchase. And I am afraid that if I cannot get my games to work I am going back to PC only. I DON'T WANT THAT!
    Thanks
