Is there any possible way I can dual boot Windows with OSX 10.7.2 on a MacBook Pro 15' from 2006?

Hello,
I am new to this forums.
I have searched about dual boot win/mac, but couldn't find a clear answer, so I decided to post this now.
I run a MacBook Pro 15' from 2006 (Intel based) and have upgraded it to OSX 10.7.2 Lion.
I have tried to install windows 7 on a small (20GB) partition by using Bootcamp, but then I've received a notice saying that there was no windows support software available. However, I did install Windows 7 Professional by unchecking that box. After the installation I have downloaded the windows support software and tried to install it but then I've received a notice saying that I can't install it on this machine.
Could you please give me any suggestions on how to dual boot win/mac, if it is possible at all using this machine? And how to safely go back to where I was before (with a single mac OSX 10.7.2 partition)?
Thanks.

This problem has been solved as I just needed to download Boot Camp 4.
Can I delete this post?

  • Is there any possible way I can download Microsoft powerpoint on my MacBook Pro OS X for free? I need it for lots of projects of my school.

    Dear Apple Inc.
         I would like to know if there is any possible way I can download Microsoft Powerpoint on my MacBook Pro OS X for free? I hope you can reply as soon as you can so I can be able to do all the projects being presented to me from school on Microsoft Powerpoint.
    Thank you,

    These are user forums. You are not speaking to Apple here. You cannot get MS products for free. You can purchase the student version of Office for OS X from MS. You can download a 30 day free trial that you can fully activate by purchasing a license key for $139.00.
    You can download a free copy of Libre Office which is functionally similar to Office 2007 for Windows but runs on Macs. I don't know how compatible the presentation module is to Powerpoint.

  • Is there any possible way they can access my phone even if there is a passcode if someone steal my phone?

    plss help?

    they can restore it to new and use it, the passcode is to stop people from gaining access to the information on the phone.

  • Is there any possible way I can use the keyboard controls/shortcuts of Microsoft on the Mac version or PhotoShop?

    I am very used to using a PC for Photoshop and just recently changed to Mac. I tried plugging in a different but the keyboard shortcuts arent like Windows version

    Since you have a mac, learn how to use Photoshop for Mac and stop thinking about Windows.  Time to let go and learn how to use programs for Mac.
    This is pretty horrible advice. 95% of Photoshop works the same on Mac and PC. Almost all of the keyboard shortcuts are identical except that Ctrl becomes Command and Alt becomes Option (same key anyway). The menus are all the same.
    shldr2thewheel wrote:
    Also, when using PS on a Mac, their is no option to enable "windows keyboard mode" in OS X. I know, I have used PS on a PC and currently use it on a Mac.  You have no option but to learn how to use it on a Mac.  If you are comfortable with Windows, purchase a copy of Windows and run it in Boot Camp or a virtual machine and purchase a copy of PS for windows. Then when in Windows, I believe you can use MS shortcuts.
    This is also (mostly) incorrect advice.
    If you look in the Keyboard system preference, and you click Keyboard Shortcuts, you will find a shortcut called "Move focus to the menu bar." Once this happens, you can type ahead to menus and commands, much like the alt menu shortcuts in Windows. If you wanted to open the Duplicate command, it would be Ctrl-F2 to activate the menu bar (edit that shortcut if you don't like it), then type I and Enter to drop the Image menu, then type D and Enter to open Duplicate. If there were two D commands, you would type ahead until the letters are different. You can use the spacebar instead of Enter, and Esc does the same as Windows. I just tried all this in CS5 and it works fine. The advantage over Windows is that you do not need to memorize the alt shortcuts, because it's based on the command name you want instead of an arbitrary letter in the middle of the name.
    As jasdril said, you can simply edit the direct shortcuts too. But in most cases there should be no need to because as I said, most are the same anyway.
    In short, there is plenty of keyboard-driven flexibility there for anyone willing to adapt just a little tiny bit.
    The second advice that is not so good is recommending a Windows virtual machine. That'll slow down Photoshop, in addition to using up a lot of RAM and CPU that Photoshop really needs. The Mac version of Photoshop being native, would run at a proper speed.
    The last possibly bad decision in this thread is TTro787 deciding to take the Mac back to the store, ignoring a quarter century of history of the Mac as a well-established graphic design and photo workstation. If you don't think the Mac is going to work well for Photoshop, it isn't going to be because of the Mac... the Mac is not just for Starbucks posers. Too many smart scientists (who want to use the Unix-based OS) and competent designers use Macs.
    In short there is a whole lot of intolerance and assumed differences in this thread by both Mac and Windows zealots, which is too bad. Photoshop is mostly the same on Mac and Windows unless you're trying really hard to make it not work.

    Often when plugging a device into a computer (which has not been discussed if this has ever happened) one will be given the auto play option of transferring photos/data from the mobile device to the computer. Did you ever transfer the photos from your device to a computer?

    with some 5.0.X.X OSes, the BBm is a core application and cannot be removed.
    BUT other 5.0.X.X OSes, the BBm has become an addon application and can be removed. (i.e. 5.0.0.436 and on 5.0.0.462)
    if you have the first category OS, I suggest you try and install BBm for example using AppWorld. Maybe by upgrading BBm, it will become an addon.

  • Is there any possible ways to get the MAC address?

    Hi guys:
    I am writing servlets on the server side. Is there any possible ways to get the MAC address when a HTTP request come in? Thank you very much for any helps.
    all the best!

    It is usually impossible to get the MAC address of the maker of a HTTP request in any programming language or system.
    At best, you can get the MAC of the closest intervening router, firewall, whatever.
    Are you sure you mean the MAC address? MAC looks like this: 8:ab:f0:0:71:bb:90 (Ethernet), or 01-23-45-67-89-ab (Token Ring), etc, depending on your network type.
    In contrast, an IP address looks like this: 209.249.116.195. If you want the IP address, check out the javadoc for HttpServletRequest and ServletRequest. Caveat: load balancers, web caches, proxy servers, etc will mask the "true" peer's address. Don't do anything silly like try to use the IP address for security or authentication.

  • If your iphone 3gs just shuts down when theres something wrong with your hardware,is there any possible way to get all your pictures back?

    if your iphone 3gs just shuts down when something went wrong with your hardware is there any possible way to get all pictures or other important stuff onto itunes?

    What happened to the phone. Did it just go black? Did you try to plug it into Itunes and see if it can be seen or throw it on the charger. You can still try the reset procedure listed in http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430 and see if the phone turns back on.
    The only way to get things back is to have backed them up ahead of time.

  • Is there any possible way to see all Log-in information I have used one the web-page (not just passwords, but also a logins used)?

    Hi all,
    The problem is:
    I have been using site at different times from different accounts, and I have used autologin thing.
    But when last time I opened the site, for some reason Mozilla automaticly logged in with my very old account.
    For some reason in Security -> Passwords - I see only 1 "Login" detail for this site.
    Is there any possible way to see all Logins (login information) I have used on this site to log-in?
    May be some file folder is recording them?
    Thanks

    If a password is filled then that can only be done if the password is saved in the password manager.<br />
    If only the name is filled then that can be done by form fill.

    Check for 'others' in iTunes against your iPhone.
    Restore from a previous backup to reclaim some of it.

  • My documents on my iCloud storage got automatically deleted, is there any possible way to recover them? They're nearly 1GB and very important to me.

    On January 26th, I downloaded iCloud for Windows and logged in using my account which was the same with the one on my Mac. 2 days later, at 3:27 PM January 28th, my 1 GB of documents on my iCloud storage got deleted automatically. I'm saying this because at that time I was sleeping and both my Mac and my Windows PC are turned off, and I'm home alone, besides there was no suspicious login reported to me by Apple.
    So is there any possible way to recover these documents? I'm a teacher and they're very important to me. My Time Machine wasn't enabled so using it is useless.
    Thank you so much for any help.

    Please please help me, if you know how.
