Windows 8 Clean Install drivers question for USB, CD, and Wifi

Hello,
I did a clean install using bootcamp for Windows 8. The problem I am experiencing is that I cannot download the needed drivers through bootcamp due to a slow connection. (I am in Afghanistan for work). Does anyone know where I can get the drivers so my USB ports, Cd-ROM drive, and Wifi will work from an external website where I can use a download manager? I have a 15' Macbook Pro-Mid-2012.
Thank you,
Ryan

  • Spinning ball problems--need to do a clean install--have questions

    Hi
    background:
    I have a G4 (quicksilver) since July 2002, it came with OS9.2 and OS10.1.3. I've upgraded a few times since and currently have 10.3.9. I mainly work in OS9.2 due to most of my programs being used are only in 9 and the PC network I'm hooked up to likes it better. I boot up in 9.2 -- 80%of the time.
    I'm not sure when the problem started in OSX since I'm not working there alot but I started to get the spinning ball in installer, software update and some preferences. So I reloaded (archive/install) from 10.3.5 upgrade disk but couldn't further upgrade to 10.3.9 due to that spinning ball-- still there even after I reloaded 10.3.5.
    I've run Disk Utility from the 10.3.5 upgrade disk (repaired disk, repaired permissions) and then I again reloaded (archive install) 10.3.5 and then upgraded to 10.3.9 and this time it worked because I went immediately to the 10.3.9 to install.
    BUT I still have the spinning balls in almost everything. Almost seems worse now. I can't even use Disk Utility from the utility folder on my mac without getting the spinning ball.
    OS9.2 is fine and I would like to leave it that way.
    But it's looking like I need to do a clean install--which means I'll have to reload OS9.2 -- correct?
    My question is for a clean install do I need to go back to the original disks that came with my Mac (OS10.1.3) or can I do a clean install with the 10.3.5 upgrade disks. And if I do a clean install from 10.3.5 can I still install OS9.2?
    Also what are those Software Restore disks for? They came with the original set of CDs, are they used in the clean install?
    Thanks for any help you can give

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    You really should start a new topic, as threadjacking is frowned upon in these Forums.
    The spinning ball or the beachball effect is a result of the computer spinning its wheels, so to speak, as it does not have sufficient computing power to deal with the task at hand. This can be caused by many things.
    I am almost certain that it has nothing to do with the latest Panther update. I did them all with no problem.
    Is there a way to deal with it?
    1. Sufficient RAM
    2. Sufficient available HDD capacity.
    3. Regular maintenance.
    4. Repairing Disk Permisssions before and after any installations.
    In terms of RAM you should aim to max out your RAM if you can. I don't have much information on your computer specs so I can't give any more specific information about that.
    You should have 10 to 15 percent of your internal HDD as free space. This gives your computer room for virtual memory to be most efficient.
    Here is an article on maintenace that has good advice and links to resources: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=607640&#607640
    In addition to repairing permissions, another simple procedure is to reset the PRAM. You should boot from your install disk and run Repair Disk from Disk Utility on the install disk. I run monthly diagnostics and repairs with Tech Tool Pro or Disk Warrior. In addition running regular CRON cleaning with a utility like MacJanitor, Cocktail, Macaroni or Onyx (all linked in the article above) keeps your machine running smoothly and minimizes the potential for major problems.
    I think I have given you enough to chew on for now. Post back if you have further questions.
    Good luck.

    thx
    Regards

    nolsqn,
    Can you clarify what you have installed? You must have all of the following installed to get NI IMAQ for USB Cameras to install:
    System Requirements:
    - Windows 2000/XP (English,
    Italian, Japanese, French, Italian, Norwegian, Dutch,
    Spanish/Portuguese, Russian, and simple Chinese)
    - LabVIEW 7.0 or higher with NI Vision 7.1 or higher for the USB LabVIEW support
    - Vision Assistant 7.1 or higher for the USB Vision Assistant plugin module
    - Vision Assistant 8.0 or higher for the USB Express VI
    It sounds like you are missing Vision Development Module (this is what is referred to as NI Vision)? Is this true?

    I have had about 9 iOS devices at work do this. 
    The fix and it will wipe out anything on your iphone is to connect it to your computer and have the latest version on iTunes open.  Hold the Power/Sleep and Home button till it blanks out.  Keep holding the home button untill it says recovery mode on the screen of the computer and do a restore.

  • HT5312 Hi, i'm forget answer for may security questions for Apple ID and can't reset it

    HI. i'm forget answer for may security questions for Apple ID and can't reset it, after verified email adress the link for reset questions is not available.

    The reset link will only show if you have a rescue email address on your account - if you've just added an address then it will be an alternate/secondary email address, which is a different setting/address on your account (a rescue email address can only be added by answering 2 of your questions).
    You will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down the page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use

  • Can i use the iphone just for the ipod and wifi without simcard

    can i use the iphone just for the ipod and wifi without simcard

    Forgive me as I did this a while ago, but heres how I remember it happening:
    1. I wiped it
    2. I selected "Set up as New iPhone"
    3. It registered
    4. It was activated, and was an iPod Touch basically
    5. I sold it, so I can't try it. I now use Verizon, so no SIM, although I do have an original iPhone (retired), but can't find my old SIM.

  • Yoga 2 Pro Ideapad windows clean install

    Dear Friends,
    I have just bought an Intel I7-4510U based Yoga 2 Pro winth pre-installed Windows 8.1. I would like to have a clean system without software add-ons. Can I clean-install Windows 8.1? In other words, can I boot from an USB pendrive in order to install a standard Windows 8.1 OS? Do I need Windows 8.1 Key and where can I find it?
    Many thanks in advance for your kind help
    Sergio

    Not all the drivers work with Windows 7.
    That said, you cannot legally flash a Windows 7 SLIC.
    If you want a bloatware free Window installation, you might as well buy/acquire a legal Windows 7/8.x key. Once done, just delete all partitions and reformat the computer.
    I personally used iOrbit Uninstaller in advance mode and had it remove all the BS leftover files + registry entries. Effectively, it did the same job with less effort.
    Also, as long as you don't change the partition types/size, you should be able to revert back to factory install using the OKR button. However, installing a fresh copy of Windows will force you to change from EFI GTP to MBR. Once you do that, you will break the OKR system. Hence why I suggest you delete all partitions and at least recover some lost/dead space.
    As I explained elsewhere:
    OKR only works if no changes to the partition type and size are made. Once the partitions have been altered, the system is broken and cannot be used. Only $69 (if I am not mistaken) recovery disks can fix this issue.
    It sucks and I think the price is absurd. However, shy from installing a retail version of Windows, this is your only option.
    I am not sure about the legality of torrent sites in this case. After all, your BIOS stores a legal key. However, Lenovo might be selling the images not the license. If that is the case, torrenting an image of these recovery CDs might be illegal. 
    Regardless of the fact, you will still need to buy an external CD drive if you go the CD recovery route (unless you use another computer to make the CDs into a bootable recovery disk).

  • Need to do a clean install, important questions

    Hi all,
    For several months my two-year-old MacBook has been having a serious typing issue that I have not been able to resolve. When I am typing, quite frequently, the typing will move to the middle of the text box (or Word document) and start writing over or deleting what I've already wrote. I've searched online, other people have suffered this problem, but there is no definitive solution. I will not go further into this, but if you know what might fix the problem please let me know.
    Anyway...
    Per the suggestion of a friend, I plan on doing a clean install to Snow Leopard. Since this sounds like a software issue, I am hoping this will resolve my typing problem. I have never done a clean install before and need to purchase an external hard drive. Everything must go seamlessly, as I am a college student and have very important docs and applications that must safely be transferred back. This is what I'm looking at:
    - 40 GB of media files in iTunes
    - 10 GB of photos in iPhoto
    - 0.5 GB of text documents
    ~ 30 GB of applications (Office, Adobe Suite, etc.)
    My friend told me I will need the install discs for Office and Adobe Suite in addition to to the serial numbers. I live far away from home now, and am not even sure if the install disc for Office is still in my hometown. Adobe Suite came preloaded on my MacBook when I purchased it from Apple with a student discount (there were never any install discs). It is very crucial that I am able to transfer the Adobe Suite.
    Will I be able to transfer all these documents/applications to an external drive? If so, could you provide me a tutorial on how to go about this process.
    I greatly appreciate all help.

    You are very welcome.
    "I just learned that external hard drives are either Windows or Mac compatible. You said I needed one that works with Firewire 800, but what about USB 2.0? I'm not even sure if this MacBook is Firewire 400 or 800."
    Almost all drives will work on either. What matters is how the drives are formatted. If you were to buy a drive, things might be a tiny bit easier if it came formatted the way you want. If the firewire port is oblong, then it is 400. If it is pretty square, then it is 800. 800 is better than USB 2.0 which probably is better than 400. You can get USB 2.0 that are bootable, but I don't know that all of them are. You can be almost certain that a firewire 800 or 400 will be bootable. You need one that will bootable, of course.
    "What exactly is the migration process? You said it will prompt me to migrate (transfer to external hard drive?) after I've put in the Snow Leopard install disc? I assumed I would be manually transferring the files and applications to the external hard drive before putting in Snow Leopard. So you are saying I will be able to transfer my applications such as Adobe Creative Suite and Microsoft Office without needing the original discs or even entering in the serial numbers?"
    Yes, to the last sentence. It wouldn't work to transfer things to the drive before installing the OS. At the end of an erase and install of SL, you will be prompted to migrate, or restore, your users, settings, apps, and data. I would migrate the apps and data, but not the users and settings. You would elect to migrate from your Leopard installation (i.e., from an earlier system).
    "Thanks again for the reply. I will go ahead with buying an external hard drive as soon as the first question is cleared up."
    A good thing to do is to see what is carried at the Apple Stores. One brand I like is LaCie, but they can be more expensive than some. The manager at "my" store is willing to do price matching on drives they carry. Another brand (not Apple oriented) that I like is Buffalo. Newegg.com and Frys tend to have good prices on these. You can get a 1 TB 7200 RPM Buffalo for < $140.

  • Error when installing drivers & software for Photosmart C410a

    Hi - I have a Photosmart C410a that I am trying to use with a 64-bit Windows 7 SP1 laptop, with an Intel i5-2520M CPU.  The printer was working with this laptop a while ago (back in March), but I applied a Windows update sometime in March, and since then the printer has not worked.  I've tried several times over the past few months, but have had the same result everytime.  Today I've been working on this for 11 hours (no, I'm not kidding...)
    I've tried downloading the latest full software suite and basic drivers (separately) from the HP website, and I tried using the CD that came with the printer.  I tried the Windows 7 wizard and diagnostic utilities available on the HP website.  I've tried setting it up with a USB cable and wirelessly.  I've used the ccc uninstaller to get a clean start, and have followed the instructions of the troubleshooting guides.  But no luck.
    I have this printer installed on another Windows 7 64-bit system, using a wireless connection, and it is working fine.  However, on the 2nd system I cannot get the software or drivers to install.
    The error I get varies a little depending on if I try the USB or wireless installation method, but the consistent parts is "Exit Code = 1603".  When trying to install with the USB cable the error is:
    When I try the wireless install I get this:
    I tried reregistering atl.dll and the windows installer (as suggested here http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02455020&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&product=4059652#N38...
    Nothing has worked.  Does anyone have any new suggestions?  Thanks.

    It appears if you are unlucky enough to get ths recurrent fatal error(asI I have) and are not a pc tech,   you have purchased a door stop.  I have purchased hp printers for years but this will be the last.   Like the previous consumer,  I have wasted countless hours on this correction.... Will never happen again.   I will not double the cost of the printer paying consultants who swoop in like vultures to correct the problem. 

  • SLES10 SP4/OES2 SP3 32 bit Clean Install - Basic Questions

    Hi everyone.
    I am now an expert in installing the above software and ending up with a server which does not work as we require. Must be something I am doing wrong. Hope someone can spot it.
    Have installed and supported Netware servers for 25 years without major problems. Decided now to move to SLES because Novell say we should and we need Groupwise 12 to replace GroupWise 8.
    The operational environment we are targeting is an 80 user edirectory/NDS based single tree, single context containing two Netware 6.5 SP8 HP Proliant servers running uncomplicated file and print services , NSS volumes, Groupwise 8, DHCP, ifolder, Quickfinder and the like, spread across the two servers. It all works a treat. Client PCs are are all XP Pro with Novell client software.
    The idea would be to replace one of the two Netware servers first with a SLES/OES server and then the second Netware server with a second SLES/OES server and move GroupWise functionality to one of the SLES/OES servers. Ideally users would continue to log on using their eDirectory accounts without noticing anything was going on in the background.
    The test environment we have set up is a 5 user NDS/eDirectory single tree, single context already containing a single Netware 6.5 SP8 Proliant server running file and print, NSS volumes etc and Groupwise 8. Into this tree we are trying to install a 32 bit server with a empty 36 GB SCSI disc running SLES 10 SP4 with OES2 DP3 as an add in, with NSS data volumes.
    Because it only takes a few hours to do we have repeatedly run the SLES 10/OES2 install (probably about 9 times!) with minor variations to see whether we can end up with a properly configured SLES/OES server but there is always one problem or another.
    The major problem we have is how to configure NSS data volumes on the SLES server and how to allow users to be validated against their eDirectory entries and knowing whether the test server is 'good to go'.
    The process we followed for each test install, after checking edirectory was clean and removing any entries placed in the tree by earlier attempts to install the SLES server in the same tree were:
    1. Boot the SLES 10 SP4 32 DVD (downloaded ISO and burnt DVD) and selected Installation.
    2. Followed the prompts on time zone and language etc and selected i386 OES CD (also downloaded ISO and burnt) as the Software Add-In.
    3. Loaded SLES DVD and OES CD as and when requested
    4. At the Partitioning stage we selected the EVMS proposal, and at the Software selection stage selected the base software, file server Role, Documentation, DHCP, eDirectory, iFolder, iPrint, Quickfinder, NSS and LDAP.
    5. Miscellaneous errors would appear or not appear during the eDirectory stage (eg LUM error, or iFolder error) but the eDirectory stage would still seem to complete OK and get ticked.
    6. The system would then reboot and appear to come up OK.
    HOWEVER, we are not convinced we have created a fully working reliable server.
    and
    SPECIFICALLY we are unable to create NSS volumes and we cannot logon users via their eDirectory accounts.
    NSSMU shows a single device sda (33.92 Gb) and three partitions sda1 (70Mb), sda2 (31.91GB), and sda3 (1.94GB). sda2 seems to contain all the 'spare' space on the disk (type Linux LVM) but says there is no spare space to create our NSS partitions.
    iManager cannot see any devices to configure NSS data volumes on the SLES server but it connects OK
    NSSCON status seems to show NSS to be running
    EVMSGUI shows /dev/evms/lvm2/system/ro at 10 Gb, /dev/evms/lvm2/system/sw at 2GB and /dev/evms/sda1 at 70 Mb
    So my questions are:
    Does the above look right?
    Why cannot we get at the spare disk space to set up NSS volumes? Did the EVMS proposal grab it all and if so how do we get it back?
    Did not selecting the EVMS partitioning proposal do everything needed to run NSS?
    [There seems to be some suggestion in the several hundred pages of SLES, OES and NSS Guides, Installation manuals, Configuration manuals etc that we have studied over several days, that we now have to edit a fstab file to make it work properly (Really? in this day and age where clicking on Setup.Exe will configure a fully working Windows server) Is that so? Is there anything else we need to do?]
    How do we get the users to access their NDS accounts to log into SLES and Netware?
    How do we know the server is OK for operaational use and 'works' ?
    HELP!!!

    You are partially correct. Admins who used NSS on NetWare likely did
    install NSS on OES Linux but I suspect they used a separate drive for
    NSS either by installing an additional drive, by carving out a chunk of
    space on their RAID array and assigning it to a separate LUN, or by
    running OES in a VM where storage space on a single disk/array can
    appear as separate drives.

    Semantics!
    IDEAL = Recommended; EVMS != IDEAL; EVMS != Recommended;
    IMO, Novell recognised that they had to provide a way for customers to
    install NSS on a system that only had a single disk and provided this
    procedure as a workaround. By the way, they also support 2-node
    clusters but they aren't recommended either. I have also seen cases
    where a supported configuration was deemed no longer to be supported as
    NTS became aware of additional complications.
    My point (and Simon's and ab/Aaron's) is this: Just because it is
    supported doesn't mean you should do it. If we can agree on this point,
    I'll try to help you to get it working. The last thing I want to do is
    give others the impression that by helping you find a solution we think
    this is a good idea!!!

    Let's look at the default proposal. This is *not* what you have.

    A single (SATA/SAS/SCSI) drive will be known as sda (/dev/sda).
    /dev/sda1 is the first partition. In the example and in your
    configuration this is the /boot partition. In both cases it is 70.5 MB.
    /dev/sda2 is the second partition. The partition uses LVM so logical
    volumes of various sizes can be created within the partition. The total
    size of all logical volumes cannot be larger than the size of the
    partition.
    In the above example:
    /root is 10.0 GB and swap is 1.1 GB. This leaves: 14.9 - (10.0 + 1.1) =
    3.8 GB of additional space within /sda2 which can be used to create
    additional logical volumes. Furthermore sda1 + sda2 use only ~ 15 GB.
    Only 15 GB of the disk has been allocated. The remainder of the disk is
    *unallocated* and *unpartitioned*. Presumably, it was left that way so
    that the space could be used for NSS.
    In your case: sda2 is 31.91 GB
    This does not follow the Default EVMS Proposal for Devices over 20 GB
    in Size. Either YaST did not allocate space according to the default
    proposal or you changed it. Either way, sda2 (+sda3) consume *all* of
    the available disk space. It is no wonder that there is no space
    available for NSS!
    > What do you reckon???
    I reckon that something went wrong along the way. If you did not
    specifically change the default allocation yourself, then consider this
    one example of kinds the things that can happen when one tries to
    exploit seldom used, but supported, features!
    It looks like it is time for yet another installation. This time, make
    sure you leave enough unpartitioned space on the drive for NSS and let
    me know how you make out.

  • Microphone doesn't work after Windows clean install

    I have a satellite A135-S4677 (Part# PSAD0U-0N700P) which came with 32 bit vista.
    I recently did a 32 bit windows 7 clean install on a new hard drive. Everything works fine except the internal microphone which does not work. If I connect an external mic it works. Speakers work fine.
    I have tried the Toshiba Software Installer but it didnt help
    I have tried both drivers on toshiba's website for Realtek but it still doesnt work
    driver_audio_realtek_TC40053600B.exe
    driver_audio_realtek_TC40064600A.exe
    Anything else I can try. Please help
    Thank you.

    Satellite A135-S4677
    After a clean install, the order of loading first the Toshiba supplied hardware drivers and hardware utilities, then the Toshiba utilities and software is critical for success.
    1st Hardware Drivers & Hardware Utilities
    1) Chipset related
    2) Display
    3) Sound
    4) All other hardware drivers & hardware utilities
    2nd Toshiba Utilities & Toshiba Software
    1) Toshiba Value Added Package (TVAP)
    2) Toshiba Flash Card Utility (sometimes included in the TVAP)
    3) All other Toshiba utilities and Toshiba software
    Also, Toshiba laptops are very finicky about only using Toshiba supplied hardware drivers to work properly, and those drivers supplied by Windows Update and/or the chip makers. That's why I recommend disabling automatic Windows Updates. To do this, click 'Start - All Programs - Windows Update', on the menu at left click on 'Change settings', under 'Important updates' click on the drop down menu at right and choose 'Never check for updates (not recommended)', and click OK. Then only manually check for Windows Updates, check all available updates carefully, and never allow Windows Update to change any of your hardware drivers. Though you should still regularly check for updates.
    So, after disabling automatic Windows Updates, try downloading and installing these drivers in this order, and see if it resolves your mic problem.

  • How do I use existing sync key after Windows clean install?

    Hi,
    I had setup Firefox Sync on my old Windows 7 install and I have the Sync Key given during the set up. I had to clean install (format C drive) my Windows.
    Is there any way I can use the old Sync Key to get all my bookmarks and stuff back?

    The problem has resolved itself...
    ...despite spending several pointless hours trying to delete the existing BootCamp drivers without success, I finally restarted Windows yet again - and this time I was easily able to delete the existing drivers.
    I then restarted my Mac, installed the latest drivers without issue and it all works just fine.
    Windows, eh?!

  • T60 windows clean install- any tips?

    I have managed to make a mess of my windows installation after three years or so- and I would love to start fresh from factory and apply more sense to my software installation this time around.  Now it seems like the best way to do that is to create a set of Recovery discs and then back up my info, wipe the drive, and then install from the recovery discs.
    I have two issues with this however:
    1: I have a larger HD and it'd be dandy if I could recover to that disc instead (however if I can just clean install and then image transfer that would be fine too)
    2: (and most urgent) The Recovery disc creation tool does not seem to recognize my DVD/CD Drive. 
    I have updated all system files and installed the Lenovo-recommended upgrades- I am surely out of warranty by now so Support is lackadasical at best and expensive at worst.
    Is there a fairly well-vetted process for this?  Has anyone seen the Recovery error before?  Do I have any other choice other than trying to obtain recovery discs from another t60?  Thanks in advance-

    Similar situation here.  Also with an early-2011 MBP 15".
    Not with the MBP's trackpad, but with the wireless trackpad.
