Windows 7 64 stuck (keyboard/mouse) but not when reboot my Boot camp

Hi Guys,
After spending more than 3 times 12 hours reading/searching/trying I've decided to seek for your help.
My problem is pretty simple, trying to install Windows 7 64bit on MacBook Pro 15 Retins (mid 2014 model - MGXC2LL) gets stuck at language selection level if system is not booted by Boot camp.
I've performed many tests and the only way to get mouse pointer moving and keyboard responding is to create partition using bootcamp and restart system.
Once rebooted, Windows 7 installer starts and I can go past language selection.
I can poweroff mac (powerbutton) and power it on, boot from USB stick and it will still work. I can even pull it out of system and mouse/keyboard will still work.
Once system gets booted to Mac and restarted to Windows installer, from the very same stick, it get's stuck - no keyboard or mouse moving.
On top of this I did integrate into boot.wim and install.wim USB3 drivers as per description from other threads. No luck.
From my side I'm fine to play even with Gparted to create partition whatsoever and I can't figure out why is this so complicated with Mac if one wants to not go with mainstream. It should be as easy as adding Mac drivers to W7 installer and booting it off the stick. Why there's this black magic that system has to be rebooted with BootCamp. What is this black magic? It has to be simple command.
Why do I care about this?
1. Well, once I get past the language selection screen, I'm getting stuck on next step as system doesn't see installation medium (No device drivers found). I'll work on this problem in parallel as seems that have found solution: http://techsavvystuff.blogspot.co.uk/2014/05/running-os-x-mavericks-miss-windows .html
2. I'll need to have multi-boot system and will need to install another windows on same mac (Win7 too) and so far didn't find a solution to start properly installer without having partition created by Boot Camp.
Thanks in advance

I'll reply to myself, as have found the magic command thanks to guys from TwoCanoe and example at google groups:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/macenterprise/1FT-h8OvVL8/eG94TXpZWHsJ
sudo /usr/sbin/bless --mount /Volumes/USB_Boot_Volume --setBoot
--legacy --legacydrivehint /dev/disk1`
I'll continue my journey towards TrueCrypt installed successfully on this system then.

Hello i would like instal windows in my mac pro retina but i don't have boot camp

Hello i would like instal windows in my mac pro retina but i don't have boot camp

What version of OS X are you running on your MBPr?
If you open Applications > Utilities, you should see Boot Camp Assistant in that folder.
That is the utility which will create the partition into which you can install Windows that you have purchased from Microsoft.

Airport works on MacOS but not on WindowsXP with Boot Camp

Hi,
I just bought my first mac, a MacBook and I love the way everything works - a great computer. Tho I like OS X, I still need to use XP time to time so, I got boot camp naturally and installed XP on it. Everything went smoothly.
I have a wireless network with Belkin ADSL/Router. In OS X, I have no problem connecting to it. I use WEP on it. But when I try to connect to it in XP, it just wouldn't even establish a connection. In fact, it seems to somehow screw up the wireless router in the process that when I go back to OS X and try to connect to it, it won't either until I reset my router. In my limited understanding, I suspect the driver on XP not working very well.
Can you help? When I look at XP device manager I do find some strange USB device that isn't working properly but Airport is reported as working fine.
Thanks a bunch,
cnergy

Yes i Seem to be experiencing a similar problem as you, in which connecting to a router on OS X is easy but as soon as i try it on windows xp it cannot establish a connection but my router is already connectingto other windows pcs. Maybe this is because windows cannot recognizethe built in airport, or perhaps it needs to be configured in a way to work with both Xp and os X

"Install Windows 7 or later version" check box not showing up in Boot Camp

I am following a Reddit guide to dual boot Windows 7 on my late-2011 MBP. I've done every step up to installing Windows 7, but there is no check box to "Install Windows 7 or later" in Boot Camp. I've tried several other resources but none mention this. There is a "Remove Windows 7 or later version" check box which has a description stating it can install a Windows partition as well, but when I select it and click to go ahead it only has a selection to remove a Windows partition. I hope I'm just having a brain **** here, because I've been at this for a minute and it's causing hair loss at 21. Haha.
Ohh, and here's the guide I'm following: http://sampower.ie/windows-7-on-mavericks-via-bootcamp-and-usb/

your mac seems to think you had installed windows before
do you have more than 1 partition on your drive, if so, boot camp assistant will not work
if not, restart your mac and do a pram reset
open disk utility and repair permissions twice
open bca and try again

Sound card works but not when rebooting

i followed all the steps...
alsaconf
alsamixer
/etc...noise.wav
alsactl store
edited the rc.conf
sound works but when i reboot, before the root i get the error... sound card not found?

check in rc.conf and see if your sound module isn't listed. Odd that it doesn't find your sound card on boot.
U may also need to run alsactl store as root. Permission problem, possibly?
sounds like alsaconfig is finding and loading the module each time u reboot, but its not being loaded because I think u need to run alsactl store as root, since it needs to be loaded by the kernel. That would require root privileges I would think. That's my best guess.

Hello, my MacMini was in repair and now when it´s starting it finds the bluetooth-mouse but not the bt-keyboard. What can I do?

Reset smc and pram.

Computer Starting, but no display/keyboard/mouse, but work after CMOS clear

I have an MSI Z77A-G45 motherboard, intel i5-3570K CPU, 16 GB of ram, a Sapphire Radeon HD 7850 GPU, XFX PRO650W Core Edition PSU, and am using a 550 VA UPS.
My computer powers up with no posts, all CPU indicator lights are lit, and the display, mouse, and keyboard get no signal, but when I read some posts about solving this problem I cleared my CMOS with the button on the back, and when the computer powers back up signal is sent to my monitor, mouse and keyboard, but upon continuing or running setup the previous behavior continues.
Help would be appreciated!

I ain't really be able to help you. The only two things i could think of are an empty battery or a faulty board. But for that matter wait for others to answer your post.
But what you are describing sounds like what i experienced five years ago, when i set up a new system with a MSI P35 Neo3-F. I fortunatly bought board, cpu and RAM from the same vendor. Same as you i had to reset CMOS in order to do anything useful with that computer. I think i had to reset everytime i turned on the pc, but not for reboots. Althoug i'm not sure about that.
Besides that i had occasional failures in Windows which is why i did run MemTest86+ from CD. I got some faulty memory addresses in that run and thought the RAM were to blame, but in further passes of memtest i got different addresses. This i mailed to the vendor and i told him, that i'd had no means of figuring out, if the board, the cpu or the RAM was faulty. They told me to send in those three to figure it out themselfs and to give a replacement for the broken one, which turned out to be the mainboard.
After that i still got failures - can't remember what failures - and could make out that the cpu wasn't working correctly. I still believe the broken board did some damage to the cpu sometime i tried to start the PC without resetting the CMOS while maybe having random values in CMOS.
I cannot say that this is fact, but for the vendor it was reasonable enough to also replace the cpu and since then i'm quite cautious when it's about a board that might be trying with random CMOS content.
I don't want to frighten you. I just want to say don't try to much without resetting the CMOS as long as it needs to be resetted all the time.
At least til someone can ensure, that my interpretation of my experience must be wrong.
Greetings,
Micha.

I can access internet via boot camp with windows 7, but not when I use the Mac w/Mt Lion side. Thanks for any tips!

I'm using a 2012 Intel-based iMac with Mt. Lion and Windows 7 with Boot Camp. I used to be able to access the internet on both sides. Now, my only internet access is through Boot Camp. At one point, access was unable on both sides but IE in Windows 7 automatically diagnosed the problem, changed some settings (which I don't know) and I could access the internet on both sides . . . for a while. Now, I can only get online in Boot Camp. Since IE detects no problems it doesn't apply the fix as it did before. Does anybody know what's going on?
I should mention that I installed Boot Camp because there is no Mac version of the software (VantagePoint) I need to use (duh). I wanted to be able to use the software w/o rebooting all the time so I installed Fusion. Of course, I didn't ask the VantagePoint techs if this would solve my issue. It didn't - VantagePoint won't work with Fusion, but it will with Parallels. So I installed Parallels and imported Boot Camp. Apparantly, it was not set up properly, I'm getting all kinds of errors reported in Console (e.g. "Found cross-bounds GPT partition. GPT disk detected," mdworker cannot talk to sandbox, etc.). The VantagePoint techs say the first step in a VM retry is to regain internet access to the Mac.
Anybody who can help will become my new best friend. Thanking you.

Are you using a MacBook Pro? Is everything installed on the same drive?
I would love to know how that install was performed. When I install Windows under boot camp, my MacBook Pro drive ends up with 4 partitions: Mac, Mac Recovery, Windows, and a small partition that I believe is used by boot camp.
Installing BitLocker on Windows requires the creation of a new small partition that Windows will boot off. The small partition is unencrypted, while the primary Windows partition will get encrypted. The following post discusses the maximum partition issue: https://discussions.apple.com/message/22753791#22753791
Has anyone installed Windows through boot camp on it's own drive, and if so, can BitLocker be installed on that without reaching any partition limit? I'm assuming that's possible, but would like to know before I spend hundreds on new hardware.

There is no need for anyone to use 32-bit version anymore.
Retail comes with both. Or you can save on just buying 64-bit System Builder disc.
Better support for today's hardware with larger video graphic memory and systems.
Better memory management.

Keyboard + mouse functions not working

After updating InDesign CC 6-days ago started to have issue with all keyboard + mouse functions not working ex. shift key does not constrain proportions when scaling. A restart fixed the issue thr first time. Today I have installed latest update and shut down and restarted several times does not fix issue. On a MacBook pro running OS X Mavericks 10.9.2.

Disconnected extrenal devices ie keyboard and Wacom Bamboo tablet and restarted computer seemed to correct the issue.

Two Macbook pros circa 2009 in our temporary household in Turkey suddenly failed to boot and got stuck on the grey screen. They were able to boot at the Apple store, but not when we brought them back to our apartment. Could this be a coincidence? A

THank you Ogelthorpe. When my wife's computer I went on line to the site that you sent and tried everything But nothing worked. When my son came to visit and his MacBook Pro did exactly the same thing we became suspicious - too much of a coincidence. We took both computers somewhere else, out of our apartment, and they both booted. We ran disk utility on both, but the report in both cases was that there are no issues with the hard drive. Back in our apartment neither will boot up. My MacBook Pro is a later model with a solid state drive and it seems to work fine here.. I tried an external drive and it works fine. We think that this has something to do with some kind of magnetic interference in our apartment to which the 2009 drives are susceptible. It is indeed a mystery!

Hi, is this a question" Post?
or are you just offering an insight into your Mouse Issue?
Generally and at times we all have little idiosyncrasies appearing with the running of our Macs.
I use the same Logitech BT with my MBP. MB & iBook..(not at the same time) Only ever had one issue
and the cure was to completely Delete the mouse from BT -> Repair Permissions & Reboot then Re Install the BT mouse..Ihave just put a new set of batteries in the Logitech (only 2nd set ever)...L

Ok so I happened to figure it out while on the phone to apple support. Even though the guy was very nice, I think I knew more than him! He was explaining very basic resolution principles I played about. I had the second option in displays resolution. All I did was unplug the HDMI cable, click on 'best for display' then plugged the HDMI in and my resolution on the normal monitor changed to the normal blue, then went black momentarily and then changed to a strange resolution but another window appeared that said SONY BRAVIA HDMI at the top! Hey presto! Don't know why it didn't do it yesterday - I probably left the HDMI cable in or something! Oh well. Problem solved!
