Windows 8 - fails to find wifi interface, anyone know how to add it?

windows network driver wifi

Ooops, sorry, I hit return at the wrong time and this got posted accidentally.
I have a MacBookPro 13" Late 2011 2.4 Ghz. Intel Core i5 with 4GB RAM and a 1TB disk drive divided into two partions about 2/3 Mac and 1/3 Windows.
Windows 8 was installed, and when it boots I have no network connectivity.
The wifi interface is not detected.
The wifi interface is listed as en1, an airport extreme
When I go to what used to be the "device manager", detect new hardware finds nothing, and there is no way as their used to be to add in a device that you already know is there - like select device from a list?
I got rid of my Windows stuff years ago to avoid this, but now for an Oracle database class I must have access to a PC.
Does anyone know how this kind of problem gets support ... from MicroSoft/Windows or Mac/Apple?
I have no experience with Windows 8, but confident that most of it is intuitive and easier than it used to be ... I just cannot find a way to add in  the Mac Wifi adapter.

    I want to have all the facilities of my Ipad obtained for my e mail address, available for another e mail address belonging to my wife. Anyone know how I set this up please? I am a new user and long in the tooth so any help would be much appreciated.

    What do you mean by "facilities of my Ipad obtained for my e mail address"?
    Do you mean you want to setup your wife's email account on your iPad? Or something else?

    can you see the wi-fi address in the about? if it show N/A, your iphone needs to be repaired.
    if your ios is 5.1.1 or you can see the wi-fi address,you could try to  connect your iphone to the itunes to restore and update.

  • Cannot burn an iMovie project to a DVD because the computer can't find iDVD.  Anyone know how to accomplish this task.

    Cannot burn an iMovie project to a DVD because the computer can't find iDVD.  Anyone know how to accomplish this task.

    Macs don't come bundled with iDVD anymore. If you have an older Mac that came with an iLife disk, you can install iDVD from that.
    If your Mac didn't come with iDVD, you can still find iLife '11 disks in some stores.
    There are other programs that can create DVDs, but I've never used them. From what I've heard, they're not as good as iDVD.

  • Does anyone know how to add a preface page at the beginning of the book in ibooks author once the book is written? No matter how I try to add a Preface page, it goes to the end of the book.

    Does anyone know how to add a preface page at the beginning of the book in ibooks author once the book is written? No matter how I try to add a Preface page, it goes to the end of the book.

    Thanks. I've tried this and apparently the template I'm using is one of those where it doesn't work. I've tried dragging it as well as cutting a pasting but it always travels back to the end of the book. Maybe I can try changing the template temporarily, move the preface page, and then convert back to the original template. I'll experiment a little.

    Maybe you would be better off posting this in the iPhoto or iDVD categories of the forums.

    The answer to your question depends on what you ant to do with the DVD.
    Do you want a DVD menu, slide show etc.
    iPhoto will allow you to burn straight to a DVD. Just select the album you want to burn then go to share in the tool bar and select Burn.

  • Does anyone know how to add time using TIME function?

    Hi,
    I just switched from Excel (lol) and found an error in a key calculation i use. Does anyone know how to automatically add hours to a time? i.e. i have to convert Pacific Time to other U.S. Time Zones so in the past I used this formula in Excel (=B6+TIME(3,0,0)) which is now not working in Numbers. Is there an equivalent?
    Thanks for your help!

    In cell D3, the formula is simply:

    which match the Numbers's syntax which, what a surprise, is not XL's one

    You don't have to hide it completely if you don't want to - just reduce it to a small dot.

  • I have a Windows media bar that appears in the middle of my browser window that I cannot close. Anyone know how I can close it?

    I have a Windows media bar in the middle of my screen that just sits there. It cannot do anything other than show me its properties. I tried rebooting Firefox, rebooting the computer, running a virus scan and running Eset's deep virus scan and it is still there. I cannot get rid of it. It will not close.

    Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.<br />
    You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.<br />
    Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.<br /><br />
