Any suggestions to fix this?

How can I install windows 8.1 on my macbook pro late 2013?

I bought a new Macbook pro 15" late 2013 and i want to install windows 8.1 on it. I tried several times but it always says me that windows cannot be installed on the partition that i made with bootcamp assistant.
Thank you for your answers
Alessandro

You can install Windows 8.1 using Boot Camp Assistant or by using a virtual machine like Parallels, Fusion, or VirtualBox.
The Boot Camp Guides are located here: https://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
The Boot Camp Discussion Community is located here: https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp

I/O timeout all the time on console - what can I do with my hard drive? Macbook pro late 2011

My macbook has been extremely slow for a while and after looking on this site I discovered I should look at the console - and noticed I had I/O timeouts all the time which I gather are a problem.
What can I do with my hard drive? If I back it up using time machine and erase the disk with zeros will the problem continue if I simply restore from time machine?
Or should I invest in a new hard drive - but if I buy a new hard drive is there something on my computer that will wreck that one as well? i use final cut pro/studio a lot and it's got to the stage where I can barely use it - do I need a 7200rpm hard drive? My current one is a 500gb 5400rpm.
I have 16gb of RAM in but since upgrading this from 4GB it made a difference to the speed for all of two seconds then the computer returned to its normal slow speed.
Would appreciate any help on this issue as I'm not particularly technical.

I wouldn't worry too much about what the Console logs are showing... although I/O timeouts, if related to reading/writing to your disk may be a problem. I would have to see the whole Console message to know for certain...
Your hard drive is sure to be slowing you down with FCP. Your best bet would be to upgrade to an SSD, if you can afford it. It's the only way you're going to see a real speed increase in FCP as so many large temp/cache files are written to the drive.
If you can't afford a SSD, you may want to look at a 7200rpm SATA III drive (if your MBP supports SATA III - which model do you have? 2011 or later, I'm assuming, since you note that you've 16GB of RAM?).
You should also update your OS to 10.7.5 if your profile reading of 10.7.2 is correct. Won't help speed, but will be more reliable -> http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1582.

How can I install Snow Leopard on my 15" MacBook Pro without using its DVD drive?

How can I install Snow Leopard on my 15" MacBook Pro without using its DVD drive?

I'm assuming your dvd drive is broken? if you have a thumb drive large enough (8GB or better), you can use another computer to make a bootable image from the install dvd to the thumb drive. then you can install from the the thumb drive.

Can't install windondows 8.1 on my macbook pro - format issue

Can't install windondows 8.1 on my macbook pro - format issue
Running latest version of Mavericks.
Followed the exact bootcamp proceduce.
Have official window 8.1 version on cd.
All goes well until I have to format the 65Gb partition. Disk=0 and partition=4
Can't get over it. Altough I formatted it via a hint found on the internet with "dislpart" in NTFS. Wich also went weel and give the labelname "BOOTCAMP". But still no luck.
I have two questions:
1/ How to start my mac again in normal mavericks mode?
2/ How can I overcome the windows installation issue?
Tried already a lot of hints found on the internet.

First, make a time machine backup. You will need to erase ands reformat your hard drive. I had the same issue. The issue is that you can't install Windows using bootcamp without having the hard drive formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Do this from disk utility or recovery mode (hold down command and r at startup). Then you have to restore the backup to the hard drive. Then make a usb installer drive with bootcamp and then partition and install. Here's a tip: after you install bootcamp and are in the Windows desktop, go into the installer drive and then go into the bootcamp or support folder, then find a installer that contains the Apple bootcamp drivers. Also, you will need to convert the disk to an iso file. TO MAKE THE USB DRIVE FROM A DISC, USE THIS LINK

Can I install OS X Server on my Macbook Pro ?

Q1)
Can I install OS X Server on my Macbook Pro (mid 2010) and use it as a server in my small office network ?
Q2)
If i have OS X Server, can some of the client machines be windows Xp / 7 ? Will it work well ?

A1: Yes.
A2: Yes. (Though this is dependent on exactly what you're planning to do. Windows Server and Active Directory will be a better choice for Windows distributed authentication, for instance.)
A3: are you going to have your MacBook Pro configured at a static IP address, with proper local DNS running on your server or some other LAN-local device (server provide and need local DNS, and referencing your ISP DNS won't work here), and will your server be available most- or full-time for the clients that are going to come to depend on the services from the server? If not, then this approach is probably not the best one. What happens to your environment and to any of your shared data if you're carrying your MacBook Pro server around and it happens to get dropped or lost or stolen?
A4: If you're "just" planning on serving storage to your other systems, then get a NAS device. Something akin to an Time Capsule, or a Synology NAS widget, or similar network-attached storage devices are available, flexible, and cost-effective. NAS devices are also usually rather less to manage than a full-blown server, too.
A5: If you have specific services or requirements in mind, somebody here might be able to provide a more specific answer.
TL;DR: Servers differ from clients in that a client outage generally adversely effects only one user, where a server outage generally adversely effects multiple users.

MacBook Pro Late 2011 Restore and EFI partition gone.

Hello!
Sorry if my problem seems easy to you but im stuck in a difficult situation. Im quite new to Mac, but after i tried to delete the BootCamp partition on my MacBook i deleted the Recovery HD and the EFI partition by accident. Now my question: is there ANY way to get a new copy of the Recovery HD so i dont have to use Internet Recovery each time? And is there a way to get the EFI partition back so i can update my EFI Firmware again? Mac OS X isn't damaged and is at the same place on the disk as before. 200 MB of free space before Macintosh HD and ~4 GB after it. I have a MacBook Pro Late 2011, 13", 4 GB RAM, a 500 GB Hard drive and i have the EFI Firmware version 2.3 on it so i can still restore using Lion Intenet Recovery.
Thank you for your answers!

HT1237 Macbook pro late 2011 latest 1.69f3 but I have 1.69f4 installed....

Hi,
Model: Macbook pro 15 inch Late 2011 2.4 i7
Software: OS X 10.9.4 (13E28)
Last week I had the BSOD..... Tried everything what apple suggests, tried everything what google suggests.... Nothing.
I decided to recover from last Time Machine.... Problem only appears when Macbook gets very hot and fans aren't cooling!
Then decided to reinstall clean OS. Until now no problem.....
From my investigation from Apple forums I understand that what controls the FAN's and hardware etc., for this to work correctly I must have latests EFi and SMC updates.
Problem:
In the lists of SMC updates: EFI and SMC firmware updates for Intel-based Macs states that My macbook pro Late 2011 (MacBookPro8,2) has to have: 1.69f3 (SMC 1.5) but what I have now installed is: 1.69f4 (SMC 1.7)
So what? I have a incorrect version on my mac? Do I have to (seems to be) downgrade to: 1.69f3 (SMC 1.5) ??

If you look at that listing, there are two MacBook Pro8,2 machines, the Early and Late 2011, and the SMC firmware specified is not the same...you have the SMC firmware that table lists for the Early 2011...it is likely the table has not been updated properly since the servers that download the SMC firmware look at the machine serial number and install the appropriate firmware for that machine.

It's not that you can't format it because you have no backup, it's because you'll lose everything when you do. Lesson learned. Always have a backup.

Installing window 7 to macbook pro late 2011

I am trying to install Windows 7 to a Macbook Pro (late 2011). I got this far: After downloading Bootcamp 5 and going into Bootcamp assistant and clicking both, a) Download the latest windows support software from Apple, & b) install Windows 7 or later version.
NEXT: Installed external 8G usb drive for Windows support software to download to
NEXT: In about 10 seconds it downloads then never moves on the "visual" download scale???????? THIS IS WHERE I GET STUCK
ANY HELP WOULD GREATLY BE APPRECIATED

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
As it looks like you can't download the Windows support software from Boot Camp Assistant, download it at the Apple site > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1638 Follow the steps to burn it to the USB drive.
Then, open Boot Camp Assistant and install Windows. Don't mark the option to download the Windows support software

Macbook pro late 2011, completely messed up, everything I click it brings up beachball very slow, blue ray and hd unwatchable as it jerks. genius bar app didnt help at all, very disappointed, can some1 help me?

Macbook pro late 2011, completely messed up, a macbook pro of this year should not be operating like this, everything I click it brings up beachball very slow, blue ray and hd unwatchable as it jerks. genius bar app didnt help at all, very disappointed, can some1 help me?

You have a hardware problem. It is probably the hard drive is either to full, not enough free space, or it is starting to fail.
If you have an external drive connec that to the system and use the Recovery HD, Command + r keys at startup, to install a clean fresh copy of OS X Lion on the external then run the system from that. It will be slower but if you don't get the beachball then that is the sign your internal drive is on its way out or is filled up with files and not enough free space.

How do I install the recover portion of OS X 10.10.1 on my MacBook Pro late 2011? It is missing!

When I boot up my MacBook Pro late 2011 while pressing the option key it should show the recovery icon which it doesn't.
How do I install this portion of Yosemite?

This was changed with Yosemite. The recovery is hidden when booting with option. Hold command and R when booting to get into recovery (without option). If you see the globe, then it is actually going to Internet recovery, which means you do not have a local recovery.
