  • If I use a USB stick for time machine, will I be able to install Windows (using bootcamp) from the same USB?

    I have a 64GB USB Stick, and I am interested in usign it with time machine. My question is, firstly, is this possible? And secondly, if I do do this, would it be possible to install windows using bootcamp from the same USB. My mother refuses to let me install windows without a backup of Mac OS X, so I really need to know if this is possible???

    You need to use a drive that is larger than your Mac's internal drive for Time Machine, so a USB stick will not work.  You need to buy an external hard drive.  It's worth it. Time machine is a fantastic backup system, keeping not just a single backup, but multiple versions of your files as well (hence the need for a larger drive).

  • How do I install windows using BootCamp without cd drive fot the new MBP?

    I need some softwares for my work (modelsim, altera, ltspices etc) but some of them only supports windows.
    New MBP doesnt seem to have a cd driver.
    How do I install windows using bootcamp without cd drivers?

    You can use a USB thumbdrive to do this, assuming you have access to a windows machine to format the usb stick.
    I installed Win7 on my MB Air (2011), which of course lacks a DVD drive altogether, using this technique.
    Basically, you download a tool called rEFIt to your macbook. ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/refit/files/rEFIt/0.14/rEFIt-0.14.dmg/download ) When this is installed, it gives you a boot selector menu when you boot the Macbook ('Do you want to boot to MacOS or to the USB drive?')
    Then you download and run an Apple tool called Boot Camp Assistant, which allows you to partition your HD for the two operating systems to share; it also pulls down all the windows drivers you need.
    Then prep the USB thumbdrive on a windows machine to be a Win7 installer disk. You'll want a drive in the 4gb+ range I think. You have to set up the thumbdrive to be bootable (lots of tools for that available), and then copy all the windows installation files over to it.
    Put the thumbdrive in the macbook and boot holding down the option key.
    Choose the rEFIt icon on boot, then choose to boot from the thumbdrive, then format your new windows partition to something Win7 can handle, and install windows.
    On my machine I followed a slightly more involved process and wiped out MacOS entirely. I would have kept it on a small partition if I'd had a bigger hard drive.

    I tried to install windows 7 using bootcamp, i did every steps, when the installation of the windows started i selected the partition created by bootcamp but it didn't install because it said that maybe something was corrupted, then i quit the installation but now my mac doesn't start up, the screen gets black and it says: no bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key.
    I try to press alt/option when it starts but nothing occurs. I don't know what is going on, i really need to use it urgently, i hope i won't loose my data. Well i hope someone could help me!!

  • I tried installing windows using bootcamp and it didnt work properly, now neither is load.

    So i tried installing windows, it got to the point where you are on the windows setup after a reboot. I didnt have enough space on my mac so i pressed cancel and it shut down my mac. Now when i start it up it says "No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key" so i put in the memory stick i used and press all the keys and nothing happens, i even try restarting it with it in and taking it out and restarting it but the same message keeps coming up. I have no idea what to do, any advice?

    Two possibilities: As CellerDweller suggests, your computer is still set to boot from the Windows partition which it cannot. restart holding Option (also labeled Alt). The second is that you erased the Mac partition. If attempting to reboot with the Option key and selecting the Mac drive fails, restart holding Command R to enter Recovery mode. You can then run Disk Utilities to repartition the Mac the the GUID partition scheme and then format the drive as MacOS Extended (journaled). If you have a backup you can then restore using the backup drive. If not you can redownload the Mac OS.

  • Can't manage to install Windows using Bootcamp

    For some reason I can't manage to install Windows 7 using bootcamp. It paritions the disk, pop in the Windows installation DVD and restart.
    The Macbook Pro takes a while to startup (it stays on the grey screen for a while). After a while of waiting, it goes to a black screen with a white blinking thingy on the top left of the screen. Here is where it gets stuck... I've tried to leave it like that for 30 minutes or so, but it just keeps blinking.
    I tried holding the option key at startup and boot into the disc, but it does the same thing. I'm using a original Windows 7 DVD. I tried a XP CD also, no go.
    I'm using an early 2008 Macbook Pro (2.4Ghz) with Snow Leopard.
    Anyone can help?

    Having this exact issue after getting my (Early 2008 24", 3.06GHz, 8800GS) iMac back from having it's stock drive replaced by Apple.
    Prior to the drive replacement, it had a stock 500GB drive, and dual-booted 10.6/XP Pro flawlessly. Then the drive died. After running it off an external for a month, I brought it in for service.
    Apple replaced it with a 640GB, as apparently they don't stock the 500GB disks anymore.
    10.6 works fine.
    Applied updates, restored my home directory and apps from the external, no problems.
    Ran BootCamp Assistant, made a 120GB partition. Inserted the same XP CD I've used before. Reboot...black screen, flashing cursor. Waited 30 min for it to pick up, nada. Rebooted, held down Option, picked the disc - same deal.
    Rebooted into 10.6, checked the disc was readable. No problem. Tried starting an install in VMware from the disc. No problem. Tried the disc in my MBP. No problem, boots like a charm. Highly skeptical the CD is the issue.
    Re-ran BootCamp Assistant, merged the partition back into the 10.6 one. Rebooted from my 10.6 install disc, ran Disk Utility's Repair over the internal disc - no errors found. Repaired permissions to be safe (found a couple minor things in my home directory). Rebooted into 10.6 and ran BootCamp Assistant again, this time with a 32GB partition. Same problem.
    Rebooted from the 10.6 install media, wiped out the partitions, laid a new, fresh OSX install on the internal. Booted, ran updates, then BootCamp Assistant (did not copy any of my data back this time, nor did I install anything other than the OS and updates). Same problem.
    Shut down completely, unplugged for 5 min or so (reset SMC). Booted, clearing PRAM. Booted into 10.6, re-merged the partitions. Rebooted, clearing PRAM again. Booted into 10.6, ran BootCamp Assistant to create the partition. Rebooted, clearing PRAM yet again. Removed all peripherals save the keyboard/mouse. Tried to boot from the Windows CD - same problem.
    Dug out my WIn7RC1 DVD for kicks. Same problem through similar iterations. This disc also boots fine on the MBP, and can start a VMware installation without issue.
    As we speak, I'm booted from the 10.6 installation media once more, this time zeroing out the internal disc entirely. If this doesn't work, I'm not sure where to go next.

  • Installing windows using bootcamp. HELP!! :(

    Ok so ive decided i need to install windows onto my mac, to use software important for my university studies, and have opted to use the boot camp method.
    I started by purchasing and downloading windows 8 directly onto my mac book pro, and as such, have a file called 'windowssetupbox.exe' in my downloads.
    i have attempted to follow the instructions to use bootcamp, however it doesnt seem to work. When i first attempted it, all that happened what that i downloaded the suport software onto a usb, so i now have a usb with the support software on it (i think) however this has since been erased, and when i try anything else (involving iso images for example), i cant get it to work. Firstly i dont know what an iso image is, (i presumed it to be the .exe file i downloaded), but i dont seem to get anywhere. Could anyone guide me in the right direction as to how to go about this. I feel like i need to start from scratch but im not really sure what im doing.
    thanks.

    You have to run the setup file on a Windows machine. If you want 64 bit Windows then you must run the setup on a 64 bit Windows machine.
    Once the download is finished (about 3GB if I remember correctly) you will get the option to create install media.
    Select that then check the box for creating an iso file.
    Move that iso file to your Mac then start Bootcamp Assistant and point it to that iso file. You'll also need to download the support software again if you've deleted it.
    You'll need a 8GB USB stick to put everything on.

  • Macbook pro mid 2012- Wanting to know how to install windows using bootcamp

    Hello everyone,
         I'am sure this question has been asked many times but this is urgent and can't really find all the necessary steps I need in my situation. I am using a MacBook pro mid 2012 I believe. I'am taking colleges courses, and need to use visual basic. Unfortuanatly visual basic is not compatible with macs. I've done a few researchs and found out installing windows 7 with bootcamp is maybe the best solution? Probleme is I have no start up disk that came with the mac, and the cd drive is broken. I do have an external hard drive I bought a few months ago.     
         What exactly do I need in order to set this up? Is it still possible without a start up disk, and by using a external hard drive? How should I get windows 7? Online or buy the disk?
         If someone could either direct me to a threaded explaining a similar case? Or point out what I need, and a few important steps to follow?
    I appreciate it!
    Thanks
    LJ.C

    if your MBP has a DVD drive (even if broken), it requires that to install windows via boot camp so you have 2 options
    get your dvd drive repaired, or

  • Please help me I had installed windows using bootcamp assistant and forget to get back to Mac OS while starting by using that specific keys

    Help me

    It's normal for the Mac to set the Windows partition as the default startup disk when installing Windows since it will restart a couple of times during the install.
    One way to get back to OS X is to restart and hold down the Option key. You'll get a display of the various drives you can boot to. Double click on the OS X drive.
    An Option key boot is a temporary choice, and your Mac will continue to boot to Windows by default. To change that, once you're back in OS X, open the System Preferences and click on the Startup Disk icon. Click on the OS X drive to make it the default choice.

  • Help! when i turn on my mac while holding down the option key to swith from windows to mac (i have just installed windows via bootcamp) it comes up with a white screen with a grey padlock asking for a password.

    I have not installed the windows drivers yet if that is relevant. here is a video of the problem https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xR9dQPSIyNg

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    That's the EFI password. If you don't know the password, the only thing you can do to turn it off is to take the Mac to an Apple Store.
    If you know the password, follow these steps to turn your EFI password off:
    1. Press Command and R keys while your Mac is starting to start into OS X Utilities.
    2. Go to Utilities menu > Firmware Password Utility, turn it off and restart your Mac

  • Macbook bad DVD drive how to install windows in bootcamp

    My macbook has a bad DVD drive. I just upgraded it to snow leopard and want to install windows using bootcamp. Unfortunately when the windows installation starts the machine reboots but does not seem to be able to detect the windows disc in an external dvd that I have attached to it. I tried two different usb dvd readers and finally a firewire one I had laying around to no avail.
    without the DVD drive working, how can I get it to install Windows?
    thanks very much in advance for any help

    Hi Amy
    Welcome to Apple discussions.
    This particular forum is for student software developers so you might not get an answer to your question. I suggest you post it again, but this time to one of the Boot Camp forums. Maybe someone there will have the answer you want.
    Best wishes and good luck

  • Trying to install Windows with Bootcamp

    Hello. First, I do know this has been a recurrent trouble for a lot of Mac user who have tried to install Windows using Bootcamp. Believe me, I've looked it up both here in the Apple Communities and in saint Google. My situation is, however, that I have replaced my optical drive with a SSD, and now my optical drive works externally, via USB. Everytime I try to install Windows in a dedicated partition in the SSD, it just stays forever in a blank screen with blinking cursor.
    Apple's troubleshot won't work for me, and I'm beginning to think that the issue has more to do with the optical drive itself. I tried:
    To install Windows on the HDD instead of SSD.
    To unplug every USB (even mouse), except for the optical drive with Windows 7.
    To install it via USB stick (creating a bootable .iso with Disk Utility). In this case the usb stick does not even appear when holding option key.
    To try another Windows 7 version (32/64 bits).
    I have even read it might be because of a bad installation of the RAM memory... this makes no sense?!
    If anyone has encountered this same situation, I'd appreciate some help. Hope I can get this done, because Steam's Age Of Empires won't ever work in OS X :S
    Thank you all for reading and helping!

    If your Mac was originally configured with a built-in Optical drive, and it was later replaced, Bootcamp knows your original configuration and will not work properly in the modified configuration, because it uses your Mac's model string (found in About This Mac -> More Info -> System Report -> Hardware) for example, MacbookPro 11,3. The only supported method to install Windows is to restore the original HW configuration and install it and then move hardware around.

  • Installing Windows using a different computers install disk

    I am trying to install Windows using bootcamp. It says I need "
    A Mac OS X Leopard installation disk, which can be either of the following:
    Â
    a Mac OS X Leopard disc (included with all purchased copies of Leopard)
    Â
    a Mac OS X Install Disc 1 (included with all Macs that have Leopard preinstalled) "
    I am out of town and do not have either disc, but my Dad who has the macbook Pro (I just have the Macbook) has his original install disk. Could I use that disk?

    No. Try Virtualbox by Oracle. No Mac installer disk needed, just a Windows installer disk that meets your 32bit/64 bit compatibility.
