Trying to get Win 7 64 installed, not working

I am trying to get Win 7 64 installed. I have my dvd (downloaded a authorized version from Microsoft partners group, legal copy, we use it for other installs all the time). I imaged it to a dvd, should be all set.
Both Mac and Win side see the DVD. I go to my bootcamp utility, and go through that process. I am setting it up on my solid state drive that I just put into my CD slot. The DVD drive is now in an external housing hooked up VIA USB.
I then tell it to continue to format my new HD, and start the instal. It restarts, my DVD drive spins up and starts running. Then a gray screen comes up with the Apple in the middle. It then flashes, every now and then.
Can any of you give me some ideas? I have spent hours on this so far.
Thanks,
John        

If you use Apple Disk Utility to burn the ISO, it won't work properly unless burned at reduced slowest speed 2x. Common and what I would consider "well known" but not documented, not put in the PDF guide in writing.
Sometimes it even boots and installs but bad install and fails. So in a way you were lucky it wouldn't start.

    mono 8 bit 8k is 64kbps, yes. 8 bits times 8,000 = 64,000 = 64k bits/sec.
    And yes I think that's a typo - there's no such thing as 'Mone' that I've ever heard of...
    But you might want to check to find out if this is a mu-law non-linear format, possibly - there are several ways that 8 bit 8k wav files can be encoded, and typically phone systems don't use linear ones. If you have a log-in to Zultys' user-base system they have an FAQ there, I believe - the answer might be in that, and it won't cost $500.

  • I am new to DPS and have been trying unsuccessfully to get it installed and working. Please help!

    I am new to DPS and have been trying unsuccessfully to get it installed and working.
    I have updated the entire Creative Cloud repeatedly, even used the cleaner tool to remove older files, preferences and OOBE file and still cannot use update from help menu in IndesignCC to get DPS tools. It is greyed out.
    No options available in the folio builder either.  And if i close the folio builder the only way it comes back is to reset the publishing profile.
    Please help as learning this software has become a priority in my industry.

    Hi Bob
    I have downloaded the tools and get an admin error trying to install it. ( See attached).
    Apologies for the late response. This site was very slow yesterday.
    Can we attempt to resolve this issue via email instead?

  • Tried Everything - Boot Camp will NOT work!

    Hello everyone, for about the past 7 days, I have tried installing boot camp on my macbook pro late 2011. My MBP Has an hdd in the optical drive bay, and a hybrid drive in the hdd bay. Recently, after the failure to install boot camp the first few times, I bought an enclosure for my optical drive. I have a copy of windows online in iso format, so everything should be working, but, it has not. I have tried using a bootable usb flash drive, with SEVERAL different ones, to no avail. I have made boot camp look as if I had a MBA, to no avail. I have burned a bootable iso to a blank cd, to no avail. NOTHING HAS WORKED. I have waited around 32 hours of work in 7 days to post onto this website, thinking I can do it myself, but  I simply cannot. When I did the bootable usb drive method, I got a please insert the bootable disk, and then press any key. And then when I did the bootable blank dvd with a bootable iso on it, all my mbp would do is blink that cursor thingy on the black screen. EVERY single usb drive was taken out for the computer. The only things plugged in were my charger, and the external optical drive bay. Please help me with any useful info, as it would help me so much.
    P.s. I have also used Wine/Crossover. I am ONLY doing this so I can game windows games on Steam. It is the sole and only reason for this venture. Crossover did not have enough support for the games I wanted to play, and would crash often, and Wine will not work with some of the newer games, with very little support/incentive from developers. Please if I have done something wrong by trying to use these, or maybe I'm just not using them right, please tell me.
    If anyone has any other solutions to windows games played on a mac through steam, please tell me, It would mean a lot.
    This has been a very frustarating adventure, and I really would love to get this resolved. Whoever gives the advice that ends up working, will get best answer. Thanks!

    If you had done any google searches for installing Windows on your model Mac computer you might of found out that Windows will ONLY INSTALL from the BUILT IN DVD drive when it is installed INSIDE the system. So since you have replaced that drive with a hard drive there is absolutely NO WAY to install Windows on your Mac. It will not install from a USB key, It will not install from an external DVD drive, it will not install from any other source other than the built in DVD drive when that drive is installed INSIDE the system.

  • I am trying to get my printer to work.

    I am trying to get my printer to work. It is a Canon MP240, it does not show up in the printers menu. Though it is plugged in via USB.

    This printer does have a driver available via Software Update, meaning that when you connect the printer to the Mac via USB cable the driver should be downloaded and installed automatically for you. Of course this will not occur if the Mac cannot detect the printer at the end of the cable. So if you open Print & Scan, select to Add and the MP240 is not shown in the Default Add Printer view then there could be a problem with the USB cable or with the printer.
    To double-check if the printer can be seen by the Mac, open System Information and under the Hardware entry in the sidebar, select USB. Then in the top right pane you will see all the USB connections on your Mac and what is currently connected to them. If the MP240 is not shown, then try moving the cable to a different USB port on the Mac. And don't use a USB hub or the USB port on the keyboard. If moving doesn't help the printer appear under one of the USB busses, then try a different USB cable. If that still doesn't help, turn off the power to the printer and unplug the power cord for 10 minutes before reconnecting and turning it back on.

  • Trying to get icloud, installed snow leopard, now it says I need OSX, but my processor isn't right for it. Is this possible? Do I need to buy a nw computer? will I loose all my mobile me storage?

    Trying to get icloud, installed snow leopard, now it says I need OSX, but my processor isn't right for it. Is this possible? Do I need to buy a nw computer? will I loose all my mobile me storage?

    You will lose the entire contents of your iDisk whether or not you migrate to MobileMe as there is no equivalent in iCloud and MobileMe will be terminated at the end of June. You will need to download any data which you don't have on your Mac already.
    Snow Leopard is not compliant with iCloud and most of the facilities will not work. You can migrate from MobileMe to iCloud at http://me.com/move even with Snow Leopard: when asked to confirm that your Mac is running Lion just lie and say 'yes'. Of course you won't be able to access iCloud directly from your Mac.
    If you have MobileMe mail set up to collect mail from external POP accounts you should cancel this before migrating, or you may find it still working in iCloud (where it isn't supposed to) and with no way of stopping it.
    This will be the situation with Snow Leopard when you have migrated:
    Your email, calendars, and 'Find my iPhone' will be migrated to iCloud. Contacts and Bookmarks cannot be migrated from a Snow Leopard Mac.
    Your iDisk, together with website hosting and Gallery, will continue to work as before until next June.
    Syncing of Dashboard Widgets, Dock Items and Keychains between Macs, and Mail Accounts, Mail Rules, System Preferences, Signatures & Smart Mailboxes between Macs & iOS devices, will cease altogether.
    You will be able to access email and calendars on the iCloud website at http://icloud.com provided your browser is reasonably up-to-date.
    You will not be able to sync contacts or bookmarks from a pre-Lion Mac.
    You will be able to enter the server settings for email manually in the Mail application and access your email.
    You will not be able to sync your calendars directly.
    Some people have been able to set up calendar syncing by using the method detailed here - this is an unsupported hack and may not be reliable, and may stop working at some future point.
    There appears to be no method of syncing contacts (though Address Book on a Mac can be synced with Google or Yahoo address books - I don't know how reliable this is).
    There are a couple of third-party solutions which may be of interest.
    BusyCal is an iCal-like calendar application with extra facilities: it can sync with the iCloud Calendar while running on Leopard, Snow Leopard or Lion. A single user licence (two machines allowed) is $49.99.
    Soho Organizer can sync Calendars and Contacts with iCloud on Leopard, Snow Leopard and Lion. A single user licence (multiple machines allowed) is $99.99.

  • Since 2012 I have Photoshop Elements always worked without any problem, however now the language is suddenly German how can this be changed, removed the program and re-installed, not working. Program is downloaded and updated via the apple app store?

    I've done some research on the SQLite database. Whenever Aperture hangs up (like during auto-stack or opening the filter hud) there are thousands of SQLite queries happening. These SQLite queries cause massive file I/O because the database is stored on the disk as 1kb pages. However, the OS is caching the database file; mine's only 12MB. I'm trying to track down some performance numbers for SQLite on osx but having trouble.
    It's starting to look like most of the speed problems are in the libraries that Aperture uses instead of the actual Aperture code. Of course, that doesn't completely let the developers off the hook since they choose to use them in the first place.
    Oh, and if anyone is curious, the database is completely open to queries using the command line sqlite3 tool. Here's the language reference http://www.sqlite.org/lang.html
    Hmm, just found this. Looks like someone else has been playing around in the db http://www.majid.info/mylos/stories/2005/12/01/apertureInternals.html

    Sounds like you actually have a 1st generation as those cannot update beyond iOS 3.1.3.
