Not able to install Win7 on OS Mavericks Macbook Pro (late 2008)

Hi folks,
since yesterday I'm trying hard to install Windows 7 on my Macbook Pro (late 2008) without any success.
I put the .ISO file for installing Windows on my USB stick. When I started Boot Camp Assistant 5 it says either "the installer disc could not be found" or if I check "Download the latest Windows support software from Apple" it says after few seconds "Can't install the the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server."
Can anybody help me, please?!
Cheers

You can only install Windows from a USB drive on a Mac that came without a DVD drive. Your Mac came with a DVD drive, so you have to install Windows from a DVD.
I do not recommend you to download the Windows support software from Boot Camp Assistant. Instead, I recommend you to download it from the Apple site > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1630
Follow Apple's steps to install Windows > http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1636/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_ 10.8.pdf

  • Not able to install photoshop elements 11 on MacBook Pro OS 10.7.4

    spent last two days downloading photoshop elements 11 onto MacBook Pro OS 10.7.4 multiple times with no luck opening and installing
    popup reads: no default application specified to open the document PhotoshopElements _11_LS15-2.7z
    other download reads as text only and says must open with Windows 32 - the rest is garbled encrypted and illegible
    i am ready to get my money back and forget about this unless someone has an answer soon!

    Yes, it's the Windows version. Download the correct Mac version, which by all means could be the trial even...

  • Z87-G45 Gaming not able to install Win7 x64 with Samsung 840 EVO

    I have a brand new:
    i5 4570
    MSI Z87-G45 Gaming
    250GB Samsung 840 EVO
    1x 8GB Corsair ValueRam DDR3 1600
    I got everything hooked up properly, but I am not able to install Win7 x64 through an USB pen drive (Kingston Datatravel 32GB USB3) I have a proper  official and Legit MSDN ISO, formatted by the Win7 USB tool from MS itself.
    Note that i do not have an optical device (DVD) installed so I cannot use it 'the old way'.
    Bios settings are okay, everything is recognized
    USB Legacy - Kingston Datatraveler
    HDD Legacy - Samsung 840 EVO
    Win7 setup loads properly; but before I can select the Harddrive / SSD to install Win7 on I get prompted that additional (3rd party) drivers are needed to proceed. The volume is not recognized. This happens 9 out of 10 times. In the 10% cases I do get the option to format the SSD and/or create partitions. However, installation fails after all, cannot load or find file ...
    What I've tried so far:
    Switch out the SATA cables and power cables
    Switch through the various SATA ports on the MB 1 through 6
    Tried UEFI and UEFI/Legacy (UEFI doesn't seem to work at all)
    Update UEFI to V 1.50
    All the above result in the case mentioned.
    I have succesfully installed the SSD in an other PC, using the same pen drive and ISO and it worked like a charme, thus ruling out that the SSD, pen drive or image is corrupt.
    Even when I switched out the SSD after Win7 setup has succesfully copied, unpacked and installed all the files (doing this on the other machine where it works like a charm). Then switching it to the MSI Z87...it fails; starting the setup procedure right from the start, like nothing was ever written on the SSD...
    Finally i turned to Win8, and guess what, it installed without any glitches on the MSI Z87
    What am I missing here, I would really want to install Win7 instead of Win8
    Forgot to enable / disable something in the UEFI? I really don't know, google doesn't give much information on this specific problem (SSD is recognized properly by the BIOS / UEFI as far as I can tell)
    The only thing I have not tried out so far is updating the Samsung SSD firmware to the 1.0 version which has been release 3 days ago...
    Any clues, tips, hunches??

    Quote from: Bernhard on 25-October-13, 18:33:41
    Did you disable Secure Boot in the BIOS? If not, then Win7 won't load.
    Hmmm not sure, thanks for the reply, will have to look into that later today!
    I didn't change it from the default setting I think, unless it is part of the Win8 features in the UEFI. All where disabled by default, and I kept them disabled.
    Where is Secure Boot listed in the UEFI, and any idea wether it is enabled by default?
    ::EDIT::
    Found it in some screenshots, I cannot recall from the top of my head wether it was enabled or disabled, allthough my gutt feeling says it already is disabled.

  • I am not able to log into FaceBook on my macbook pro using my Apple ID

    I am not able to log into FaceBook on my macbook pro using my Apple ID

    Then, what razmee209 says.  It's apparently not a phone issue since other people can get in, so I'd call the facebook app developer and let them know what's going on.

  • I recently attempted to re-install Mountain Lion on my MacBook Pro late 2012 model and the internet recovery is failing.

    I recently attempted to re-install Mountain Lion on my MacBook Pro late 2012 model and the internet recovery is failing. I have absolutely no clue what to do here. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
    - Currently if I boot it up there is a flashing folder icon with a question mark in it. I am assuming this means there is no OS because I wiped the SSD and tried to reinstall Mountain Lion
    - When I hold Command+R, it prompts me to Choose Network... the problem with this is the wifi constantly is disconnecting. The Retina 2012 does not have an ethernet port so i have considered buying the attachment then returning when done.
    Once again Thank you in advance.
    Best.

    There is nothing to do if you don't have a reliable Internet connection unless you have a copy of the Mountain Lion installer application from when you first installed it.
    Install or Reinstall Mavericks or Mountain Lion from Scratch
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    OS X Mavericks- Erase and reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Erase and reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Erase and reinstall Mac OS X
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
                because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Flashing Question mark: New hard drive not working Macbook Pro late 2008

    After following several peoples advice on this forum I decided to upgrade my Macbook Pro late 2008 with a Seagate (1TB) Solid State Hybrid Drive 2.5 inch.
    Heres the device.
    http://www.morecomputers.com/spec.aspx?pn=ST1000LM014
    After creating a mountable boot on a External hard drive with Mavericks install I removed the current hard drive and replaced with the new seagate drive. However it didn't seem to recognize the external hard drive (it is quite old but works perfectly) and went to a flashing grey question mark screen and wouldnt do anything else. Ive tried holding down command-r and option-r but I get nothing. Its just the same flashing question mark. I have done this several times and the same result.
    I put the old drive back in and it works fine.
    I am trying to work out is the problem with the mountable external hard drive OR is it the hard drive is not compatible with my computer?
    Appreciate your help
    Gary

    Sorry I think you may be confused.
    I am trying to install the new Seagate hard drive to my mac (not as an external hard drive).
    I replace the macbook pro hard drive with the seagate drive:
    http://www.morecomputers.com/spec.aspx?pn=ST1000LM014
    I then started up the machine with a usb external hard drive with a boot copy of mavericks on it. However, it just displayed a flashing question mark and wouldnt start booting the osx.
    I am trying to work out is the problem with the mountable external hard drive OR is it the hard drive is not compatible with my computer? Im guessing it must be hard drive. Would it be better to use a USB pen drive as the external hard drive is quite old?
    Does anyone know what the problem could be as the hard drive is brand new.
    Appreciate your help
    Thanks, Gary

  • Instaling ML on Macbook pro late 2008 from dmg problem

    Hello all
    a friend of mine has a macbook pro late 2008 with snow leopard installed.
    He wanted me to clean install the machine and install ML on it
    i checked the requirements and i saw that this is possible
    went on my mac mini and restored the image file to a usb stick and holding option key while booting i started the process
    first erased the hard drive and then  back to main screen press install ML
    the next screen after confirming that i agree  the dialog box was reading tyhe instalation files..it went throughh till the last bit and then just stuck there!
    left it almost all night and nothing happened
    Any ideaw on how to proceed?
    Maybe the installation image that i have used is only for my mac mini and that is the reason that this happens?
    a possible solution is to install snow leopard again and inform him to buy the software so as to be machoine specific from the mac app store?
    Any help will be much appreciated
    Many thanks

    Your friend has to purchase OS X Mountain Lion with his/her Apple ID. If you install OS X Mountain Lion without having purchased it with his/her Apple ID, he/she won't be able to reinstall OS X Mountain Lion if it gets damaged, so this is dangerous.
    He/She must purchase OS X Mountain Lion, so he just have to open  > Software Update and install all available updates. Then, open App Store and purchase OS X Mountain Lion, so it will be downloaded into his/her MacBook and the Mountain Lion installer will show up when the download finishes, so just follow the steps to upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion.
    He/She should make a backup of his/her files with Time Machine or Carbon Copy Cloner before upgrading, and also, check if the applications are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com
    The OS X Mountain Lion version used is the same for all Macs (except the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display, and the Late 2012 Mac mini and iMac because of driver problems), so this is not a problem

  • Macbook Pro late 2008 with Mavericks gets Grey screen of death.

    Hey guys..
    When Mavericks was released, I updated my old Macbook Pro (late 2008) 2.8ghz on work, and since then I have had a couple of Grey Screen of Deaths.
    I had none of those before Mavericks, so I guess thats the source of the problem.
    I've been trying to figure out what might cause it, from the crash log below, but I can't seem to figure anything from it, so I was hoping you guys could help me?
    Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems to be a kernel panic, caused by some PowerManagement from kernel_task. But how do one fix that?

    Tried to reinstall the original OSX ( 2008 )   No luck : grey screen changes to darker screen coming in from the top asking to reboot the system .
    1st real bad signal was : When donwloading Maverick ( again )  to create a bootable USB  the screen started flickering ( this started when pressing the download button ???  - I had to reboot the mac to stop
    2 days later :
    Last Live activity with this mac was : Trying to create maverick Bootable  USB  using diskmaker X )   During this activty the mac died on me .
    I have a full time machine backup : so no worries about data...I hope  )
    This mac is one of the lucky ones with the bad NVDIA 8600m gt cards ... after upgrarding in march 2013 to Lion ..it crashed on me with the black screen of death ...Since apple stopped the guarantee I baked it in the oven at 200 c for 7 minutes  . For the last  months it was working Fine  .   ( Hardware check shows no issues  - and upon reboot it chimes happy ..)
    What could be my next options ?  ( Obvious buying a new one ... This  is allready launched as an idea .   I need more creative thoughts :-)

    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.

  • I have a MacBook Pro late 2008 edition with 2 Gigs of RAM and running Mavericks. When trying to download Yosemite from the App Store it gives me an error message. Anyone has a similar problem?

    MacBook Pro late 2008 edition with 2 Gigs of RAM and running Mavericks (10.9.5). It gives me an error message when I try to download Yosemite

    All,
    I thought it may be related to spaces in the path in which the script was called from. I tried having the ODBC command script in another directory but the same thing happens. It will give me the "CONFIGSYSDSN: Unable to create a data source for the 'Oracle in OraClient10g_home1' driver: Could not load the setup or translator library with error code -2147467259". As soon as the script is done running I can manually double click the script and it adds the DSN fine.
    Thanks,

  • Macbook pro late 2008 (unibody) backlight not working, trackpad issue

    Hi,
    My wife is running 10.7.4 (Lion) on a MacBook Pro late 2008, first gen unibody. There is two issue with her computer.
    The first issue is that the backlight keyboard is not working correctly. In fact, it is not working at all. My assumption is that it stopped working when it had a a display assembly replacement in 2010. My wife not behing to technical realized she did not had this feature when I bought a MBA 13" last year. It could be something with the system (OS) but I'm pretty sure it is not. I open the back of the case to see if something (a missing wire connectivity) could be found, but none step to my eyes. I did not want to dismantle everything in case I'll be making it worst!
    The second issue is the trackpad. She told me many times that her mouse was not working as expected, and when I looked at, I finally found that the problem was not the mouse, but the trackpad. What I found is that the trackpad button, sometimes, stayed pressed. If that happen, eventually, the mouse is acting very trangely! My wife never uses the trackpad, so I can't figure out it is an abuse of it. To temporaly resolve the issue, I dissabled the trackpad when a mouse is connected in the Universal access system pref.
    I plan to have it send to the Apple store next time I go near one. The Apple Care is expired...
    My questions are:
    any idea of what may be the problem and is it repairable easily by myself?
    Could it be that the trackpad is broken in anyway?
    Could it be possible that the technician forgot to reconnect a cable near the keyboard (under the motherboard) that prevent the backlight to work?
    Thanks

  • AirParrot 2.0 CRASH on Macbook Pro (late 2008) OS X 10.10.1 NOT MIRRORING on AppleTV 7.0.2

    I’ve purchased last AirParrot 2.0, to mirror my MacBook Pro (late 2008 model) on my AppleTV. I’ve dropped the app in my application folder and run it. Added the license key. I’ve tried to connect my apple tv. The app finds my AppletTV but as soon as the connection between them starts, the app crashes and shuts down.
    I’ve Mac OS 10.10.1 Yosemite and AppleTV software 7.0.2.
    Currently "Audio Only" mode it's the only way to use the app but Airplay It'a already supported on my Macbook i need AirMirroring.
    On Mac OS Mavericks 10.9 the app working well, almost.
    Do you know what supposedly could be the problem? Where can I find Log File?
    thanks

    Sorry about that! Try the 2.0.2 update we just released this evening . It should get you going.
