Can't install windows 8 on new macbook pro retina display.

I spent my afternoon trying to install Windows 8 Pro on my new Macbook Pro with retina display. I get fairly deep into the installation process using bootcamp when I get a windows message that says something to the effect that windows can't be installed because the hard drive is not formatted in NTSF format. And that is the end of the line.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
It's normal. Boot Camp Assistant formats the Boot Camp volume in FAT32 because in the past it supported Windows XP and it could use FAT32. This changed with Windows Vista.
The only thing you have to do is to choose the BOOTCAMP partition in this step, and select "Drive options (advanced)". Then, press "Format" and it will be formatted into NTFS, so press Next and the installation will start.
See the Apple's guide > http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.8.pdf

How can I install Windows on my new Mac?

This question sounds simple, but I am going nuts. I got this MacBook Pro recently, and I need Windows (to run ArcGIS 10). I know it can be done, and in fact is very common. However, I'm stuck.
Here are the problems:
- Only Windows 8.1 is currently available from Microsoft
- According to Apple, 8.1 cannot be installed on a Mac
- My download from Microsoft included only a small .exe file, not an ISO
- I don't have a CD drive. Just an 8 gigabyte USB thumb drive.
- I don't care what version of Windows I get. If there's some way to get 7, that's fine.
So what do I do? How do I buy a copy of Windows that will work? How do I download it so that Boot Camp can use it? Hasn't this been done millions of times? I was on the phone with Apple for over an hour, and with Microsoft three times. No one can help. Can you?
Thanks!

your best bet is to download virtualbox and install it that way
though if it's an exe it's not a full version but and upgrade so you need to install a full version in the
virtualbox first

It will never run in OS X. You need to install Windows on your machine.

If you use Windows program to partition the Hard Drive, the Apple partition gets destroyed.
Windows does not understand it is a guest on your Mac, and throws garabge wherever it pleases.

Oliver,
Are you getting activation errors? As Ned stated , it is easier to troubleshoot if we have the specific type of error and error detail that you are getting.
Here is some help on activation if this is the issue:

No. Target Display mode is only supported when connected to a Mac running 10.6 or later.
It cannot be used with a PC, bootcamp, gamaing console, cable box, DVR or PowerPC Mac.

Can't install Muse on a new Mac

I'm a Creative Cloud subscriber. I signed out of creative cloud on an old mac pro, signed in to a new mac pro running yosemite. Started installation of creative cloud apps onto new mac, but the CC desktop app "sees" Muse 2014.2 and Acrobat Pro as already installed and up to date. And this is definitely not true of a mac taken out of the box and registered for the first time. Is anyone else having this kind of problem, with CC installers reporting phantom applications? What can be done to remedy this?

Hi Dave,
After manually copying Muse 2014.2 to the new mac, I can't launch Muse even though the CC app registers the presence of Muse beforehand. The copy of Muse that I manually put there does not properly communicate with CC and so can't operate and I get "error code 1 - contact support." hatever is erroneously triggering the CC app to detect Muse has nothing to do with actually putting Muse into the Applications folder of the new mac. I got the same result when I manually copied Acrobat Pro 11: failed launch. BUT, CC then took Acrobat Pro out of the "up to date" list and made it possible to install Acrobat. I had to first uninstall Acrobat (using its uninstaller), then re-install it from the CC app. Acrobat is now working. I have installed all of the other Adobe apps I use and have tested a bunch of them to make sure they open and function and can sync settings, etc.
Muse won't work and CC won't let me "uninstall" it. The cleaner tool won't uninstall Muse either; doesn't even list it. Creating a new admin account and logging into it to perform these uninstalls/installs did not help in any way. I eventually uninstalled Muse using Clean My Mac application. The CC app still detects Muse as being present. Then I got the idea that perhaps the presence of Muse on my other computers could be a problem (although wouldn't that be true for all of the CC apps?). Shutting down the other computers on my home network did not change anything.
At this point, I have to move on. I can't let this consume all of my time. Very frustrating, especially since none of it makes any sense. I do have Muse working on my macbook pro and that's what I'll have to do for the time being. I just got through using Muse to redesign my website on the old mac pro. So I'm pretty much done with Muse for now. But even for tweaking the new web pages, I can still get Muse running - just not on the new mac pro.
The reason that you see a late September date for installation of Muse in that graphic is because I had to re-install it and my other Adobe apps on the old mac pro because I was not happy with the performance of Premiere Pro on the laptop. I was going to retire the old mac pro then, but had to postpone that. Not this time, though.
If you have any other ideas, let me know. I won't be in the position to spending a lot of time making this work, but I do want to see Muse work on my new mac pro someday. One major turn-off for me is the need to uninstall everything in order to fix one thing. That is not a good model for a product line. Just saying.
Thanks,
Richard

Hello, I purchased Adobe as a download a few years ago and installed in on a Mac Pro. I would like to uninstall it on that mac and install it on a new Mac Pro. Any idea how I can do that?

Just download, install, and activate using your serial number. You are allowed to have the software installed and activated on two machines. If you do not wish to retain the original installation as a backup you can deactivate it by opening one of the programs and choosing Help -> Deactivate.
Here is a general link for where you can find download links...
Download and Installation Help -
https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install.html
If you would like a more direct link you will need to name the software and the version.
If you need your serial number you should be able to find it in your Adobe account online if you registered the software when you first installed it.

How can I install logic 9 on new mac 10.8

how can I install logic 9 on new macBook pro 10.8?
My Cd rom shows Logic 7 and on the old mashine (MacBook white 10.6) I have Logic pro 9.
My MacBook pro 10.8 does't accept the Cd Rom...

Kerrse,
...and it's content?
While your method will get the app itself across.. the content will present a possible problem, though once it is updated to 9.1.8 the OP could try the "in menu' option to download content but the essential stuff normally gets installed from the DVDs initially with LP9 Boxed set... so it may not be as easy as simply copying across the app only.
However, worth giving a try.....

Can I install Windows 2000 onto my macbook pro

Can I install Windows 2000 or newer on my Macbook Pro. OS x 10.8.5??

Boot Camp does not support Windows 2000 - it might work sort off, might not perform well if at all.
You can run Windows 2000 in a virtual machine using something like Parallels for Mac, or VMware Fusion.
To install Windows 2000 in a virtual machine you will need the original Windows 2000 Install Media with a useable Product Key.

I need to install windows on my new Macbook pro for running my flight simulator software

Hi!
I'm new to the Mac world and I need to install windows on my new Macbook pro for running my flight simulator software which only runs on windows. I would like to purchase and download the windows 8.1 rather than buying the CD.
When i go to the microsoft store and click windows 8.1 it says it is only for who has windows xp or vista...
can you tell me where and how can i purchase the full installation 8.1 for download?
i will keep the ISO file on my flash drive.
Thanks!
<Re-Titled By Host>

it's likely an upgrade you are looking for and not a full install of windows
http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/windows-and-office/get-the-iso-you-need-to-crea te-your-own-windows-81-dvd/
if you get it as an iso file then you need to burn the iso file to a optical disc to install it

Can you put windows on a new macbook pro

can you put windows on a new macbook pro ? yes or no, which notebook can i put windows on if not the macbook pro?

WIndows 7 is the only Windows OS supported by the new Macs.
You usually use Boot Camp Assistant to partition the drive and install the Windows product on the Mac.
This creates a system where you boot into Mac OSX OR Windows.
see more at http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
There are programs such as Parallels or VMWare Fusion that can create a Virtual Machine within Mac OSX - giving you access to both Operating Systems at once. You may get slight performance issues as you would be essentially running two Operating Systems at once.

How can i install windows games in my macbook pro

I m a game lover but since i've macbook pro,i haven't played any game on my macbook...so guys please tell me how can i install windows games to my macbook pro.

As eww said, that computer isn't specifically made for gaming. To get advanced graphics in a game, your computer needs what is called a "discrete" graphics processor, or GPU. This means a seperate chip that processes graphics. In Apple laptops, these are only found in the 15" and 17" MacBook Pro. It is not common to find these in laptops in general that are not expensive and high-end. What you have in yours is an "on-board" or "integrated" GPU. This means that graphics processing is done by a small portion of your main processor (the Intel i5 board). This takes away a portion of primary prossessing and dedicates it to graphics. This works perfectly find in most scenarios, but video rendering, gaming, and 3-D graphics tend to suffer. Most high-end, modern games require discrete GPUs to run at full quality these days.
As far as running Windows 7 and Mac OS both, yes you absolutely can. If you install Windows 7 via Bootcamp (this would require you to have a Windows 7 CD), when you turn on your computer it will default to opening up in Mac OS. But if you hold down the Option key (bottom of the keyboard next to the Command button) while the computer is booting up, it will ask you if you want to open Windows or Mac OS.
