Problems installing Windows8.1 on High Performance MBPr late 2013 running Mavericks.

Hi, im currently new to MacOSX ( i made the jump from PCs) and although i think the overall experience on MacOSX is perfect i still need to run Windows natively on my mac ( i dont trust virtualisation programs.) and then i started to investigate how to setup bootcamp to "load" Windows 8.1 but im having some troubles with the process ..
1- when i open bootcamp it ask me where is the ISO. file (where the OS is), so i select my Windows 8.1 installation that my brother gave me and he told me that the ISO. have both forms of installations ( the 32 and 64bits) so when i load it on bootcamp it doesnt recognise the existence of the 64bit installation..
right now thats the only problem ( so far ) that im having with this, if somebody can give me some tutorial to install windows 8.1 will be really appreciated.
regards.

Im downloading windows from this link http://www.123myit.com/downloads/ the 64 bit one, ( idc if its made to be downloaded with intentions of piracy since i have my license key) so illl try running boot camp with that and lets see if that works.
I also have been reading about some problems on the MBPr late 2013 when they try to install windows 8.1 in EFI mode, but they "solve" the problem instaling it on the emulated bios, since its much faster to install it in the efi mode ( better speeds at waking up from sleep, better startup times, etc.) are there any workarounds to this problem or the problem has been solved with a patch from Apple?
thanks.

Problem installing Windows 7 64-bit on late 2013 iMac 27"

Is Windows 7 64-bit compatible with this computer?
Hardware and software:
• Late 2013 iMac 27", 3.5 GHz I7, 16 GB memory, 1 TB hard drive (no fusion drive)
• Mac OS 10.9.1
• USB thumb drive
• Boot Camp Assistant 5.1.0
• Windows 7 64-bit install disk iso image downloaded from Microsoft
Install steps:
1. Use Boot Camp Assistant to install Windows 7 install (from iso image) and Apple Support Software (creates WININSTALL USB drive)
2. Use Boot Camp Assistant to create 50 GB Windows partition on iMac internal drive and start Windows install
3. Complete initial install steps until given option to select install partition
4. Select 50 GB partition. Error message that partition is not formatted correctly. Use Advance Options to format (presumably to NTFS)
5. Select 50 GB partition again and click "Next"
6. Get error message "Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition. See the Setup log files for more information."
7. Install quits at this point
I have successfully installed Win 7 on another computer (2010 Mac Pro) using these steps. I also tried installation on the iMac using an iso image created from my original Win 7 64-bit install disk, with the same installation error as above.
I'm wondering if Windows 7 and/or Boot Camp is compatible with this iMac. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

I am awaiting delivery on the exact model you have and have been researching how much trouble it will be to put 64 bit windows 7 ultimate on my machine when it gets here. I'm not pleased at what I've been reading so far. I have not seen the two other posts but yours is enough to concern me.
Have you also seen that 10.9.1 update may be responsible for this? I've seen where 10.9 caused some problems with the bootcamp app but then the process was completely hosed with the 10.9.1 update. Are you seeing this as well?
Being a life-long mac dude, it pains me when their stuff just doesn't work because it usually just does. ****, that's why I started on a mac in the first place.
The support site says that they come with 90 days of complimentary support. Is this not an issue they should be responsible for addressing via support? Or is that just one long wait on hold waiting to talk to somebody that won't consider this a pure apple issue?
I was also curious if your install .iso contains both 32 and 64 bit versions?

Can I install Windows 7 (64 bit) on late 2013 edition of MacBook Pro?

Can I install Windows 7 (64 bit) on late 2013 edition of MacBook Pro using Bootcamp? Before today, I would have never even asked this question due to the large number of users who continue to use Windows 7 in the PC world! However, there seems to be two conflicting links on the Apple site.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3986
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634
From the first link, there is a statement as follows: Mac Pro (Late 2013) only supports Windows 8 (64-bit).
From the second link, the table (under MacBook Pro) clearly states that the Retina, 13 inch, late 2013 edition supports BOTH Windows 8 64 bit and Windows 7 64 bit.
So the above information is conflicting; and as a result, I am confused! Thanks for any responses.

As far as I am aware your computer supports Win 7 and Win 8 - 64-bit.
Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
   1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows 7
         or Windows 8. For Boot Camp 4.0 and above you can only use
         Windows 7 or later. Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on
         installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and
         installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the
         computer into OS X or Windows.
     2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business,
         Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. Parallels is software
         virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently
         with OS X.
     3. VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate,
         or Windows 7. VM Fusion is software virtualization that
         enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
     4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows
         applications without having to install Windows. The
         Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
     5. VirtualBox is an Open Source freeware virtual machine such
         as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.
         It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM
         Fusion.
Note that VirtualBox, Parallels, and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech Labs- Virtualization Benchmarks, January 2013 | MacTech for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Benchmarks of all of the above except Crossover can be found in Benchmarking Parallels, Fusion, and VirtualBox Against Boot Camp - The Mac Observer. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or later. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

New mbpr late 2013 2.6GHz

Hi there
I just bought a new mbpr late 2013 15" yesterday.
The battery is fully loaded but only has power for 3 hours and 15 minutes?
And the display brightness is very low..
Running OSX Mavericks, my old mbp 2008 has a better battery life time....
Any suggestions on this?

I have the same model.
There have been reports of incorrect estimated battery time remaining under Mavericks. Also, if you are performing GPU/CPU intensive tasks on battery power, these reports would be close to expected (Handbrake for encoding, gaming, etc).
Increase the display brightness under System Preferences > Displays

How often can i overwrite a SSD (MBPr late 2013 Haswell)

Hello,
do here someone know how many times the SSD's from the new Haswell MBPr late 2013 can be overwrite? I mean the 512 GB Model.
Do here someone have more informations about the SSD? I have reed that it comes from Samsung but i dont know witch technologi here works?
Can a sector here overwrite 1000/3000 or 10000 times.....??
Thank you very much.
Bye

Are you SURE that you want to replace the hard drive rather than just add an SSD? If so OWC sells 3.5 to 2.5 spacers. EveryMac says this about your model *This model has a Serial ATA (6 Gb/s) connector for a hard drive as well as a proprietary PCIe connector for an SSD. As reported by site sponsor OWC, if the SSD is not installed at the time of purchase, the connector still is present and later professional or self-installation is possible.

HT5628 Trying to Install Windows 8.1 on my late 2013 21.5" iMac. After I Format the Bootcamp partition, Windows Setup tells me "Windows can't be installed to this disk because it is GPT partitioned." Huh?

You must use the Windows formatter to format your Windows partition NTFS. Please be sure you select the Windows partition otherwise you might end up formatting your OS X partition NTFS.

I have Windows 8.1 installed on my Macbook Pro Retina (Late 2013) and it keeps on crashing with a WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR BSOD error

I have Windows 8.1 installed on my Macbook Pro Retina (Late 2013) and it keeps on crashing with a WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR BSOD error. Is this an issue with the bootcamp driver not compatible with Windows 8.1? or is there something I can do to fix this.
I also keep getting WHEA-Logger Event-ID 19 warning events in the Windows Event Logs with the following details.
A corrected hardware error has occurred.
Reported by component: Processor Core
Error Source: Corrected Machine Check
Error Type: Cache Hierarchy Error
Processor APIC ID: 3
The details view of this entry contains further information.

likely win8.1 dont have official bootcamp support yet
1/3 of my logins into win8.1 result in a fatal bluescreen
was the same deal when I installed win8 before official support
and when the drivers with official support was released the issue went away

Problem installing officejet pro 6830 software on my iMac running Snow Leopard

Greetings, I have a problem installing officejet pro 6830 software on my iMac running Snow Leopard. When I insert the HP software disc onto my iMac, and go to the HP website, it says:
"403" Ooops! Request forbidden...
Any possible solutions to this? Thanks for any feedback...

Hi @RNOjetnow ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue with needing the drivers for the 10.6 Snow Leopard OS. You should be able to install the Apple Drivers just by connecting the USB cable.
Here is a document that might help.
Hope this helps you install the drivers.
Thanks.

How to clean install os x on macbook pro late 2013 using usb (offline) (without recovery direct download)

hi,
Im trying to clean install OS X from last month using inbuild recovery partition method. Due to slow internet connection Im unable to complete the installation. I tried many times using this intallation process but it failled to complete the installation. My internet connection is steady but due to "time out" the whole installation process is skiping. So Im not able to use my brand new macbook pro late 2013 from last month beginning. Please provide an alternative solution to install os x.

For several years now, Apple has acted as if everyone on the planet has high speed Internet access. That is obviously not the case for many people, and for them installing or reinstalling any OS X version since Lion has been a problem.
I can only suggest that you take your MacBook Pro to a location that has a faster, publicly accessible Internet connection and download it there. An Apple Store would be ideal, but if that is not an option, a public library may offer high speed Internet, as do many hotels, coffee shops, or similar locations where you may have to pay a small fee.
When the download completes, you can copy the Install OS X Mavericks icon to another folder or an external storage device such as a flash drive, where it will remain available to use again, as often as you wish. Do that before proceeding with the Mavericks upgrade, otherwise the installer will erase the file.
The installer icon resembles the following
(Launchpad)
The following will also appear in /Applications:
Copy that to another location, such as Documents, by holding an option key while you drag it there.
Of course, every time Apple releases an OS X update you will need to download another, rather large file.

Problem installing Windows (7, 8.0, 8.1) on BOOTCAMP - Mavericks

Hallo guys,
First I want to say thanks a lot to Christopher Murphy, because one and a half years ago I was having problems the same like the 1st post on that topic and with the instructions from Christopher I was able to get back my BOOTCAMP with Windows 7. Now I think that the commands from the 1st post changed something that is making my current problem appear. All was working like a charm till few days ago when I was get a decision to update to Mavericks.
Previously I was with Mountain Lion 10.8 and with Windows 7 on Bootcamp. The hardware is iMac Late 2010 27'' with 1Tb SATA HDD.
Few days ago I have deleted the BOOTCAMP partition and resized the disk to only 1 partition (with Bootcamp wizzard). Then I made a boot usb stick with Mavericks and then started the installation of Mavericks from my USB Stick. I have deleted all partitions and created a new one when the installation asked me to choose a partition. So everything was fine and Mavericks is ok and working great. Now the problematic part.
I have created a Bootable USB Stick with Windows 8.1 first. I used some windows program to made it which I was using before and never had a problems on normal Computers (PC, not Apple) to boot and installing that windows from the same USB Flash Stick and the same Windows 8.1 and so on. I started Bootcamp Wizzard on my new Mavericks and than I notice that I have only 2 options there:
1. Download drivers
2. Install windows 7 or later version
I have already the bootcamp software support drivers downloaded before and I have leave only the second tick checked.
I tried to press Continue, but the Wizzard told me that it doesn't recognize a Windows DVD and cannot continue. Asked me to insert a Windows DVD and to continue.
Now it's time to say that my DVD device is not working and I cannot use it.
So I was thinking that the problem is coming from my USB Stick and tried few other programs to make a bootable usb stick with windows. That doesn't help.
I started to read and googling the internet. I tried few options from some guys with a close problems. Reset with Options+CMD+P+R, to format USB Stick fully etc. Then I found that if I install daemon tools and mount a Windows 8.1 ISO the Bootcamp Assistant will continue on the next step and will build the BOOTCAMP partition. I made that and restarted the computer with the USB Stick plugged in. I got a message that there're no system disk and to insert one and to press any key to continue (or something like this). Then I made a hard restart and tried to hold the ALT (Option) key after the startup chime. I got the list of bootable devices, but the usb stick wasn't there Only Mavericks partition and HD Recovery one. Tried few more things with no luck.
Then I found a topic where a few guys explaining how to get the 1st option on Bootcamp Wizzard (Create a Windows 7 or later version install disk). I changed the plist file in Bootcamp Assistant, then signed the app with xcode tools and yahoo, I got that option enabled.
I made again a bootable usb stick with windows 8.1 from ISO with the Bootcamp Assistant 1st option. Then when I restarted the Mac keeping the ALT pressed it was a surprise that the USB stick with windows 8.1 showed up. I started Windows 8.1 setup, entered the serial number and then I selected the BOOTCAMP partition and the Next button wasn't active and error message was written that:
"Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk has an MBR partition table. On EFI systems, Windows can only be installed to GPT disks."
I tried format, delete partition, create new etc with no luck. Then I tried to recreate the bootcamp partition with Disk Utility, but with ExtFAT format and again no luck. I found another topic on internet where some guys are talking that only Windows 7 can be installed in that way on Mavericks BOOTCAMP. I don't know that this is true or not, but I tried with Windows 8.1, Windows 8.0 and now I'm going to get a Windows 7 from a friend these days, but I don't think that it will work.
Is there someone who can help me out somehow or to tell me some tips or opinions what to do next?
Here are few infos:

Looks perfect with the Free Space. You can verify this by running sudo gpt -vv -r show /dev/disk0.
If you try the EFI boot, please pick this Free Space slot, and it will get split into a 128MB MSR and the remainder as NTFS, if the installer finishes successfully. You may be able to install, but a preUEFI model cannot use the MSR to boot the main Windows partition, but a UEFI compliant machine can.
On a Late 2013 15" rMBP (which is UEFI compliant), this is what Bootcamp on GPT looks like. (Notice GPT#4 - MSR and GPT#5 - NTFS).

How to fix the mouse and keyboard freezing when installing Windows 7 on 27' iMac late 2013?

Hi, I have a question for u guys who can solve this.
I recently bought the new 27' iMac late 2013, and I installed some softwares and used it for few days.
Before I bought this I used the 15' Macbook Pro Retina, I installed Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit, and I used the Windows for gaming.
So back to my question.
So I bought the new iMac and I was tying to install Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit (with the same CD).
After dividing the partition, and other stuff, the iMac rebooted and I hold down the option (alt) key. I choose the Windows CD, and it said it is "getting ready to install Windows". I let it load, and the blue screen where you choose the language, time/location and keyboard input popped up. At the bottom right corner (at the same page), there is a button that said "Next (N)" which u need to click it to go to the next step. I was moving my mouse to click the button, but I realized that my mouse and keyboard was frozen. I tried both wireless and wired mouse and keyboard but they didn't work. There was nothing I could do. I hold the power button, (that was the only option) and tried my mouse and keyboard on Mac OS and it worked fine.
I thought something went wrong in the CD so I bought the Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. The result was same. It frizzed again. (I just wast few hundred $)
Latter my friend lend me his Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit. I tried it, and it worked, it didn't freezed on Windows 8.
The problem is I played Battlefield 4, Titan fall, and Watch Dogs, and Battlefield 4 multiplayer doesn't work on Windows 8.1. Even though when it works on Windows 8, I prefer using Windows 7.
Dose anyone knows how to fix this freezing thing?
My computer is:
27' iMac late 2013 (bought it just few days ago)
I did no upgrades when I bought it, except the graphic card.
I bought the iMac in Korean Apple Store, and my Windows CD is in Korean, can that be a problem?
Please leave a comment when u think u can solve my problem.

See -> http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1636/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_ 10.8.pdf.
In addition to the Windows disc (or USB flash drive with the Windows installer) you'll need a 8GB+ flash drive.
The referenced manual - on page 3, I think, gives you a run-down of what you'll need before you begin the installation. You may also want to post any further Boot Camp questions in the Boot Camp forum -> https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp.
Good luck,
Clinton

How to fix MBPr (late 2013) slowdown due to defective battery w/o replacing it?

Hi,
I have this late 2013, MBP retina 13" running OS X 10.10.2 which has a defective battery (with 'replace now' warning).
The computer is always connected to the charger (since the battery doesn't hold the charge) and I have started to notice extreme lags while doing day to day stuffs (like web surfing, word processing).
I understand its solely due to the battery issue and some have successfully fixed it with several ways
1. Go to About this mac under the apple in the upper left and click on More info
2. Click on system report
3. make a note of what it says after Model Identifier
4. go to your master drive – System -Library – Extensions – IOPlatformPluginFamily.kext -Contents – Plugins – ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin.kext – Contents – Resources – find the name from step 3 and move it to a folder that you can find again if needed.
3. Restart and you’re done
However the above method doesn't seem to work since I can't find relevant file for late 2013 MBPr.
Would be grateful if someone can offer me a fix until I get my battery replaced.
Thanks

The problem you face is that a failed battery can expand and DAMAGE the MBP. At the very least you should take the battery out of the MBP (which will require Pentalobe and Triwing drivers) or better yet, have it replaced. Trying to disable it internally does not solve your problem.
Ciao.

Macbook Pro Retina Late 2013 Runs extremely Hot

Hello, I have an Macbook Pro 13inch Retina, Late 2013. it gets extremely hot after 30 minutes of usage, I don't know why, please help me out. I've tried running Apple Hardware Diagnostic but it couldn't find any problems.

Runaway applications can shorten battery runtime, affect performance, and increase heat and fan activity

2008 MPB (OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion) to late 2013 MBP (Mavericks) - Backup

Hi
I have a 2008 Macbook Pro w/ OSX 10.8.5 Mountain Lion. I ordered a late 2013 Macbook Pro 15"
I purchased a 2TB external hard drive. I am thinking to not use time machine, but instead, start from "scratch" with the new MBP. That is, backup my files and software install files to the external drive. Then, when I get the new MBP, install the s/w and copy the files I would want on it (not everything as the current MBP drive I have is 1TB and the new MBP will have the 512GB SSD)
Then, when I have the new MBP setup, I could start using Time Machine etc.. and sell my old MPB
I wanted to get feedback on this, is this a bad idea to start from scratch? I figured it might be easier since I dont have Mavericks now, and starting from scratch would be less headache since the new MBP has mavericks already, and it will be a smaller HD, and I have read about issues people have with s/w not working when migrating or upgrading to Mavericks.
I dont use ITunes, just have a lot of folders of MP3s. I do use IMovie, and read, that you can copy your movie folders/projects over to an external hard drive and save them there, and whichever ones I might want on the new MPB, I could copy over.
I also use VirtualBox, but I figure, it would be better to copy the Virtual Image files over and install VirtualBox from scratch as well.
I also code (python, java), but it is not an intricate development environment that I have setup.
Thanks

I too am a fan of it. That said, i just did two plain old upgrades from 10.6.8 on advice from people here. Both worked just fine.
If you clean install, i would first make a regular, old-fashioned bootable clone. My preferred method is Carbon Copy Cloner ($40). Then you have a) a way to go backwards in a pinch, b) a complete backup, and c) a way to get access to the individual files and move them over.
test that your machine boots from the external drive.
Beware, some od the file locations (mail is prominent) have moved. You may have some challenges there.
Your "home" library folder is also now hidden, you can un-hide it by "go" finder menu, hold own option, and select Library (magic).
If you dont have locally stored mail folders it might be easier to just let IMAP rebuild.
