I wand to install Windows 7 on my band new Macbook Pro 13 inch. Do I need to buy a specific Mac version of Windows 7 or do I install a standard Windows 7 OS on the Mac

I want to install Windows 7 on my band new Macbook Pro 13 inch and use Parallel Desktop 6 torun it alongside my Mac OS. Do I need to buy a specific Mac version of Windows 7 or do I install a standard Windows 7 OS on the Mac using boot camp.

As vazandrew said, Boot Camp will work with any standard copy of Win 7.
The only exception would be if you want to run it in a virtual environment, such as with Parallels or WMware.
I personally recommend Boot Camp, however, since it only uses the resources for one OS at a time.

    I got a MacBook Pro for the first time and just install iTunes.... how to I get my purchased songs from my Windows 7 to my new MacBook Pro..... please try to make it easier for me since im new to the Mac OS

    1) Copy all music files to a thumb drive / external hard drive.
    2) Open iTunes on your MacBook Pro (congrats!)
    3) Under the File Menu, select "Add to Library."  Navigate to the folder with your music in it and click "Open."  Bam!  Music.

  • Have CS 5 Installed on my iMac and works ok. But installed on my new MacBook Pro it won't open NEF files from my Nikon D810. Displays NEF icons, but when I try and open them the response is: Make sure latest RAW updates are installed. If problem persists

    Have CS 5 Installed on my iMac and works ok. But installed on my new MacBook Pro it won't open NEF files from my Nikon D810. Displays NEF icons, but when I try and open them the response is: Make sure latest RAW updates are installed. If problem persists follow link: http://www.adobe.com/go/kb407111. Have installed Bridge 5.0.2.4; Raw Ref Version 7.0.0.308; DNG converter_8_7_1.dmg; Bridge 5.0.2 Update 2. Also same problem with Lightroom which I don't normally use. Lightroom_3_LS11_mac_3_6.dmg installed.

    In the link you posted it states that the Nikon 810 requires ACR 8.6 or newer.
    Version of ACR are specific to versions of Photoshop. You cannot use 8.6 nor even 7.0.in CS5.
    I believe that ACR 6.7 is the latest that will work with CS5, so make sure you have this installed and get rid of ACR 7.
    Having 2 versions of ACR will cause problems.
    You have already downloaded DNG Converter 8.7.1.
    Have you double clicked the DMG file to allow you to install DNG Converter on your computer?
    Be aware that DNG converter is a stand-along application and not a plug-in.
    You need to open DNG converter at select the FOLDER that contain your .NEF files.
    Don't open the folder and try to select individual files, it doesn't work that way.
    After converting your D810 files to DNGs you can then open the DNGs in CS5
    The problem is your camera didn't exist when CS5 & its version of ACR was developed.
    i don't use Lightroom, but the list mentions Lightroom 5.6 as needed to open D819 so your 3.6 version of LR won't cut it.

  • How do I download Windows 7 into my new MacBook Pro

    How do I install windows 7 to my new MacBook Pro?

    I won't speak to how to obtain Windows 7, which you'll need to purchase or you must have a Key that you've purchased or own. 
    You have two choices to use Windows 7.  First, are the virtual Windows emulator, using Parallels or Fusion (I think those are the only 2 but there might be others).  I never liked them much (nor do I like Windows, but sometimes you've got to use them).  They are slow and memory hogs, so you need a ton of memory to use them (8GB good, 16GB better).  But you can use Windows and easily move over to OSX because Windows is in an OSX window.  Easy. 
    We're not going to tell you how to install Windows 7 with those emulators, there are forums for them at the company website.  It's not easy, but it's not terribly difficult.
    VMware Fusion: Run Windows on Mac for Desktop Virtualization
    Parallels Desktop 7 for Mac
    Your other choice, which is better and free, is Boot Camp.  Boot Camp runs Windows natively, no emulator.  But, you don't have access to Mac OSX unless you log out of Boot Camp.  Again, this isn't the place to learn about it, go to the Boot Camp forum for more details.

    If you purchased a computer from another person, you need to wipe it clean.  To do this, click on the link - Erasing disks securely 
    Depending on your model Macbook Pro...
    Start up from your install disc, go to Disk Utility and select the disk and click erase - to securely erase data click Security Options and Erase Free Space which will entirely wipe your disk, overwriting it with zeros so that no data is recoverable.

  • Installing Windows XP on a new MacBook Pro with Retina Display.

    I just purchased a new MacBook Pro with Retina display and need to install Windows XP on it so that I may run 3 Windows programs.  I have watched a few videos on the internet on how to do this through Boot Camp Assistant, and it says at one point to use the driver CD from Mac to install the drivers.  I did not get any CD's with my new MacBook Pro.  I also saw on some of these boards that said Boot Camp does not support Windows XP.  The people at the Apple store said it can run Windows XP, so I have ordered an original version. 
    Question 1.  Does my MacBook Pro with Retina Display running OS X version 10.8.3 able to run Windows XP?
    Question 2.  How do I install the drivers?

    Would this work? And also, what is the VM I need?  Where do I get it?

  • I want to install Windows XP on my new Macbook Pro

    I want to install Windows XP pro on my new macbook pro.  I followed bootcamp assistant until i got the driver disc saying I need windows 7.  oopppss i dont want windows 7.  Can I still use Windows xp?  I have only one professional software package that works perfectly using Boot Camp and XP. I don't use Windows otherwise.  I think is is the 32 versus 64 bit issue which i don't need.  Help please.

    I assume I can save $100 by upgrading before Apple drivers.
    Display mirroring is use by me to let my Client watch and change home design without breathing on my neck, lol.
    My fear is upgrading and losing that option.  I have a 52" monitor they can watch on.  XP updated one day an used the 2nd monitor for some TV addon without permission.  They later fixed that problem but it cost me 20 lost days i don't want to repeat.  One of my iMac is running XP with the old drivers perfectly.  So apple Boot camp assistant has no work around to use my 7 bought copies of XP pro.
    I guess i will try upgrade and cross my fingers.
    Thanks again!

  • How do I download and install Lightroom 5 on a new MacBook Pro, as I have replaced the original MacBook Pro that it was installed on when I purchased it 9 months ago?

    I purchased - downloaded and installed Lightroom 5 on my old Macbook Pro in June, 2014.  I have since replaced that computer with a new Macbook Pro.  I uninstalled Lightroom from that computer.  I would like to download Lightroom 5 onto my new computer, but none of the codes I have are working.  How can I download it without having to re-purchase it?
