Can the new Macbook Air and Macbook Pro with retina display that run OS X Lion or Mountain Lion run Windows through bootcamp?

I was just wondering.. since the new macs have omitted the optical disk drives is it still possible to install windows on a mac running OSX Lion and Mountain Lion?

Yes. Read the Boot Camp Install instructions for the MacBook Air which also does not have an optical drive. Put Windows onto a thumb drive or external optical drive and make these bootable. Then follow the instructions for installation from the thumb drive or external optical drive.

    Office::2008 was drag & drop, but Office::2011 has an installer you need to run.

    I tested them side-by-side in Apple Store today and after the same 10 apps loaded, I didn't feel significant speed gain from iPad Air and iPad Mini with Retina Display from my New iPad.
    I wonder what Processing Speed and Built-in Memory do the iPad Air and the iPad Mini with Retina Display have.
    Can someone who has upgraded give any feedback?

    Thanks Diavonex.

  • Has apple named the the new ipad(3rd gen ipad) ipad with retina display

    Has apple named the 3 rd gen ipad ipad with retina display.

    The iPad 3rd generation has a retina display, but it was sold for only a few months.  The iPad 4th generation also has a retina display and some of Apple pages refer to it as iPad with retian display. However, most of us in these forums refer to the various iPads as iPad 1, iPad 2, iPad 3 or iPad 4.

  • Error in Adobe Illustrator update to the new version 16.0.3 (compatible with retina display)

    Hellow, so i have Adobe Illsutrator cs6 version 16.0.0. I was so excited to update this version to a retina display compatible one (16.0.3).
    I downloaded he extension 24.2 Mb from the official adobe website, and when i tried to install the update, by the adobepatchinstaller file, the adobe application manager poped up and gave me this message....
    i read several posts from people facing the same problem, so please if anyone knows how to fix this just tell us...we are so eager and excited to update to the retina adobe

    fwiw I just did a fresh install of my OS (Windows 7 x64) and Apps including the CS6 Master Suite and have exactly the same issue and U44M1P7 error message . This is with the Illustrator16.0.3_x64 update which is the most recent for the PC version.
    I downloaded the manual installer and it did not help. Illustrator reports that it is running v16.0.3 while the Application Manager still claims it still needs the update.
    The Application Manager shortcut links to the app manager app which is PDapp.exe and checking its details shows that it's v7.7.7.233.
    My next step will be to uninstall and then reinstall the Illustrator CS6 component of the CS6 Master Suite and reinstall.

    I dont think you can get an arabic keyboard on a macbook pro though apple.
    You have 2 alternative options; you can buy an external arabic keyboard and plug it in through the usb, or you can buy an overlay for the english character keys like the rubber one I have a picture of (probably the best bet).

  • My macbook pro with retina display

    As a person that likes apple products like me i love the macbook pro with retina display, but there is one complaint that i have that i dont know how to fix. my macbook pro with retina display is getting to a point when it starts to overheat when i play graphically intense applications from the play store or off steam which has games as well. i dont know why this is that the macbook heats up i would like to fix this problem because i dont want this thing to start burning the internals and my computer starts to break itself because of heat problems. if anyone knows how to fix this problem please tell me i would like to know.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    All PCs and Macs get hot while running heavy apps that require hardware work harder than with other tasks, so you shouldn't be worried about that.
    However, if you feel that your computer doesn't turn on fans automatically when it gets hot, you may have a problem. Morever, this is a bigger problem in the MacBook Pro with Retina display, that has got less space to cool down your computer, getting higher temperatures.
    If fans don't turn on, run Apple Hardware Test, holding Option (Alt) and D keys while your computer is starting. Connect the MacBook Pro to the charger, choose your language, mark the option to make extended test and start this. If at the end you see an error, copy it here and take your MacBook to an Apple Store.
    If you don't get any error, you can use an application like smcFanControl to set up temperatures as you want. You shouldn't set up a speed higher than 2000 rpm if you don't want to damage your computer

  • I know many have this issue but i can't find a solution to the problem. i get message saying insuffisiant disk space in the volume iPhoto library and i have plenty of space available. i have the new macbook pro with retina display.

    I know many have this issue but i can't find a solution to the problem. i get message saying insuffisiant disk space in the volume iPhoto library and i have plenty of space available. i have the new macbook pro with retina display. i have never seen this message before and i have 2 other macbooks and have had many other also. i am assuming this is a problem with the new macbook retina. does anyone know the exact fix to this issue? i have seen many sugestions to try to fix this issue but none have solved the issue for anyone that i can find in the Apple Support Community. thank for looking into this in advance.
    ******A true apple fan********

    Actually your suggestions are the ones that i have tried. i have seen that you have tried to help others with this issue and the only one that i could find that said they found the problem said that it was an ilife update issue and it fixed it and i have no available updates. i know it has to do with something in photo stream because it happens when i create a new library and it is loading the photos but i get the message before i reach the maximum 1000 photos. so i've tried updating, new library(first backing up photos and then deleting them from iPhoto), reinstalling OSX many times, running disc utilities. I called Apple the first day i had this issue and i was the first person to call them for support with the retina display and i actually had it escalated to a senior advisor and we thought we fixed the problem but we did not. i am pretty fluent in dealing with troubleshooting these type of issues and this is the first time i'm reaching out to the community. i figured now that the retina has been out some time now that there would be an obvious answer to this issue. thanks for the quick reply.

  • How can I tell the differences between the new MacBook Pro with retina display and the old MacBook Pro with retina display by looking

    I'm just wondering the differences between the new MacBook Pro with retina display which was just released in October 2013 and the old MacBook Pro with retina display.

    Thank you for the reply! As you said they looked exactly the same, so I'm not able to tell the differences just by looking, right? I'm thinking to buy a new 13-inch MacBook Pro with retina display, but I'm not buying the MacBook in Apple Store, I'm buying it in other shops, how can know whether they are not selling me the old model of MacBook Pro with retina display?

  • Can I exchange my Macbook Air for a Pro with the warranty card?

    I recently found out that My Macbook Air 13'' is the same price as the Macbook Pro with Retina Display, I currently have my warranty card and was wondering if I could exchange My current laptop for no extra charge

    You can return a Mac within 14 days of purchase.
    Then purchase  a new Mac or ask for an exchange if possible
    Best.

  • I can no longer shoot directly into phaseone software since i use my new macbook pro with retina display. pictures are not transfered from the camera into captureone. anyone else with this problem? any solutions?

    i can no longer shoot directly into phaseone software - neihter version 6 or 7 - since i use my new macbook pro with retina display. pictures are not transfered from the camera into captureone. anyone else with this problem? any solutions?

    My eyes just glazed over...Please in the future break down each of your issues with paragraphs separated by two carriage returns. It would be much easier when trying to address your issues.
    Go to Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Keyboard and Mouse -> Mouse
    And edit your mouse settings to do what you want it to do.
    Secondly, this is not the place to vent. If you have a complaint, there is:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    or http://www.apple.com/contact/
    We are just end users here helping other end users.
    Third, from my understanding, it would appear you are concerned about the noise the hard drive makes when it falls asleep? Why not put your machine in screen saver mode instead? Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Energy Saver turn off all Energy Saver settings, or set them to run Never.
    Fourth, if your machine was purchased just a few days ago, you may still be able to get an exchange from the store, quicker than you can get a repair done. You may want to look into that possibility.
    Fifth, it does appear you found the Logic forum. I would persist in asking there how to solve your technical issue with Logic regarding the audio. It may be you don't have to do anything special to the hard drive. Remember audio can be transmitted by wire, avoiding ambient sounds.
    Good luck!

  • New MacBook Airs and MacBook Pros supporting Snow Leopard?

    Do the new MacBook Airs and MacBook Pros support the Snow Leopard OS? I have been trying to install 10.6 but the screen is blacking out after install for the Air and I cannot even boot into an external drive for the Pro. Any suggestions or help?

    Kada,
    A Mac's Firmware is designed to reject the installation of a Mac operating system that predates the version and build the unit originally shipped with. There is a good reason for it, as earlier versions would unlikely be in anyway compatible with the hardware. An OS that predates the hardware would not have the requisite drivers for the built-in peripherals, such as the graphics subsystem and ports. The safetey measure prevents Apple from having to deal with the potential nightmare of users having problems they are not prepared to alleviate.
    You may be able to physically create a working situation by running an earlier build using a VM layer, such as using Parallels or Fusion, but Snow Leopard's single user licensing doesn't lawfully permit it. Snow Leopard's Server edition does however. Then again, it still wouldn't solve your scenario, as you would be running Lion or Mountain Lion to support the VM.

  • I have only loaded phone contacts in my new iPhone 5 and my email contacts only on my Macbook Pro with retina display contacts how can I keep them from changing my iPhone to email contacts only when I connect to iTunes please

    Since purchasing a new iPhone 5 and macbook pro with retina display I have decided to keep the iPhone 5 for phone contacts only, and the macbook for email contacts only .. Is there a way for me to keep these as they are recorded on each apple product when I sync with iTunes as it has changed my iPhone and put in email contacts and thus deleted iPhone phone contacts once when I syncd thanks appreciate any help

    To prevent your iPhone from automatically syncing when you plug it in, click on iTunes in the menu bar, then preferences, then "devices", then tick "prevent iPhones, iPad's and iPod's from syncing automatically".
    Plug it in, then on the iPhone sync summary screen, click "info" along the top.
    Make sure the "sync contacts" option is not ticked. as long as it's not ticked, then it won't sync with your mac's contacts but will still include them in backups.
    Also, if you use iCloud, make sure that the iPhone/mac are either not signed into the same account, or that "contacts" is not turned on for both of them
