Windows XP drivers & hardware not working post install - please help.
Hi there, I just installed XP on my 2008 17" MacBookPro, NOT using boot camp. The reason for this is I'm currently on the road and don't have access to back up. SO, I made an windows partition and did it the old fashioned way. Everything's working as far as basic usability, however, I have the following problems, and I'm pretty sure there's a simple "Apple loves you" update out there somewhere, but after lurking the forums, I've got nothing:
-Graphics are laggy, I need a driver pack.
-Sound not recognized. (camera too, I assume)
-Track pad doesn't work properly, if at all. For some reason, http://support.apple.com/downloads/Multi_Touch_Trackpad_Update_1_1_for_Windows won't install, either.
So, is there a bundled file out there that makes everything work with my set up?
I know boot camp will sort most of this out- but it won't run without a clean wipe; which I cannot do right now. There surely must be a back up option for this scenario?
Thank you
What you need are proper drivers for the Mac hardware. Those are on the gray disks that came with your Mac. Boot into Windows and insert the first installation DVD. The typical Windows message will pop up asking what you want to do with the disk. Select "Run Setup".

I recently downloaded iMovie on my iPhone 5 and it is telling me to connect to wifi or use itunes to download iMovie well I have done both and it is still not working can someone please help me?
Hi troy157,
I'm sorry you are having issues with the iMovie app you purchased for your iPhone5.
The first thing I would suggest is to log out of your iTunes Account on your iPhone, turn the iPhone off and then on again, and see if app finishes downloading/updating.
Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Tap on your Apple ID account > Tap Sign Out
If the issues persists, the article below will give you a few more troubleshooting steps:
iOS: Troubleshooting applications purchased from the App Store
Try the following steps to resolve your issue, testing the app after each step.
1. Update your device software
Update your device to the latest version of iOS.
2. Check for app updates
Ensure that your apps are up to date:
Open the App Store and tap Updates. If updates are available, tap Update All.
When prompted, enter your iTunes Store account information. App Store will then download and install the application updates.
Note: Some applications may require a Wi-Fi connection to update.3. Install another app from the App Store
4. Restart the application
If the issue affects only a single app, try closing just that app:
Press the Home button to return to the Home screen.
Double-tap the Home button to display recent apps.
Tap and hold the affected app until the red minus appears.
Tap the red minus to quit the app.
Press the Home button, then restart the app.
5. Restart your device
Hold the Sleep/Wake button until "slide to power off" appears. Slide to power off your device. When it is off, press the Sleep/Wake button to turn it back on.6. Reinstall the affected application
Remove the application from your device and reinstall it.
Touch and hold any application icon on the Home Screen until the icons start to wiggle.
Tap the "x" in the corner of the application you want to delete.
Tap Delete to remove the application and all of its data from your device.
Press the Home button.
Go to the App Store.
Search for the application and then download it again.
Note: If it is a paid app, ensure you are using the iTunes account you purchased the app with originally. If it is not, you will be charged for the app again. For more information regarding downloading previously purchased items, see this article.
I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!

i was trying to put music to my iPhone, but my iTunes don't recognize my iPhone. I tried to restart my iPhone, iMac, reinstalled iTunes..but still not working. can anyone please help?
This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes or iPhone forums.

Hello, the 'Save As' dialog box used to allow the backspace button to go up one level in the directory when the focus is in the folder contents box but it does not work any more, please help. BTW the same 'Save As' dialog in other applications still allow the backspace button to go up one level in the directory.
cor-el,
I kept forgetting and procrastinating about following your instructions, since I have internet access only for limited amounts of time and usually I am busy with important tasks when I am.
Out of the blue, the problem corrected itself (the Save As box started to open full screen, then shrunk down to a normal size and the edges can now be dragged to a custom size).
Even the copy and paste problem in the filenaming area seems to have been less troublesome lately even though there have been no updates to Firefox in a few weeks.
Even though I marked the solution as not helpful, the problem has in fact been resolved. I will save the solution instructions in case the issue returns. -

Why does iMessages does not work properly ? Please help me ! Its works better with the previous version if compared with the latest iOS
Many, many thanks for both of you Todd and Rick.
to Rick:
I suppose you mean the Color Settings in Project Settings as follows:
- Working Space: None
- Match Legacy ... Gamma Adjustments checked ON
But it does not correct the colors in effects. And checking or unchecking Make Movie/Output Module Settings/Color Management/Profile/Preserve RGB does not make any difference.
to both of you:
Those parts of the video image that does not have color effects are just fine. In these parts the color is preserved when reimporting to FCP. However, those parts having color effects (except Levels, as decribed earlier) have altered color results. So, only the parts having effects affecting color are misinterpreted in the image area. The mismatch is of course seen in AE, before making the movie.
What I ment with "Color Management not working properly" is that (instead of "disabling" it) Color Management does not seem to be able to correct this "misinterpretation" or difference in effect handling between AE 6 and 10.
So, would you have any solution for this problem?
Again, many thanks for your fast replies! -
Usbs not working very frustrating please help
My usbs have all stopped working for no reason just after i did my last windows update even with a roll back it still says this error in the picture very frustrating i updated bios on my motherboard and downloaded usb drives but still did not fix the issue
please help it says unknown usb device(device descriptor failed)whn i plug hard drives in the usb has power but it wont show up on my pc also happens with my keyboard and mouse even after driver re installs please help.Hi,
For this issue,please let us know the error code.
Meanwhile, I suggest we disable and re-enable the USB controller to check the result.
This lets the controllers recover the USB port from its unresponsive condition.
To disable and re-enable the USB controllers, follow these steps:
1.Press Win+X，and select Device Manager.
2.Expand Universal Serial Bus controllers.
Note You might have to scroll down the list to find this item.
3.Right-click the first USB controller under Universal Serial Bus controllers, and then click Uninstall to remove it.
4.Repeat step 3 for each USB controller that is listed under Universal Serial Bus controllers.
5.Restart the computer. After the computer starts, Windows will automatically scan for hardware changes and reinstall all the USB controllers that you uninstalled.
6.Check the USB device to see whether it is working.
Regards,
Kelvin hsu

Number 4 on my wireless keyboard is not working can someone please help
number 4 on my wireless keyboard is not working can someone please help
You do know with absolute certainty he, that the mic does not work at all? Have you tried recording a video with sound to test to make sure that the microphone isn't working?
if you have tried recording a video with sound and that did not work, have you tried any troubleshooting steps at all? Have you looked to see if there is any debris covering the mic? Or do you have a cover that could be interfering with the microphone?
you can start with a reset of the iPad if you haven't done anything else. Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time, for about 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears on the screen. When you see the Apple logo on the screen, you can let go of the buttons and let the iPad start up. Try the microphone after the iPad starts up again.
You could try restoring the iPad to factory settings and see if that recovers the microphone for you.
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support
It is also possible that you could have a hardware issue which you will not be able to resolve on your own. If you cannot find any other way to get the microphone to work you may end up having to take it to an Apple store and let an Apple genius evaluate the device. -
