Windows 7 validation problem in bootcamp

I Installed a 32bit version of Windows 7 (purchased from a reputable source) on my bootcamp partition of a new MBP OSX10.6.3 about a month ago. I entered the validation code and registered Windows and everything was fine. After several weeks of not using Windows (and upgrading to OSX10.6.4 in the meantime), I booted it up and now I get a message that my copy of Windows isn't validated and may be counterfeit.
Anyone have any ideas what happened? Was it the OSX update? Is there some other update that I'm missing?
I like to not have to call the friendly and oh so helpful folks at Microsoft, so I'm hoping someone out there might have some ideas.
Thanks

I had similar happen to my Win7 installation on my MBP when I booted into it last weekend. I hadn't used my BootCamp for several weeks, and it reported that I had validation issues. I followed the links it provided, downloaded an MS "Validation" tool, let it do its thing, and now I', all set again. My Win 7 is just as happy as can be. Now, I haven't checked it recently, but my Office 2010 was having minor activation issues when I would use it under BootCamp then try to use it under a Parallels boot environment. If I had switched between native & emulated hardware between uses of Office, it would require re-activation. Of course, I also haven't run Office for a few weeks, so I'm not sure where it stands right now.
I just consider it to be MS trying to put a strangle hold on installations and it doesn't like some other utility/OS controlling the boot drive...

Windows 8 installation problem using bootcamp!

Hi guys, I would really appreciate some help with this, I think I might of made a big mistake.
Ok so I bought windows 8 yesterday to run on my iMac through bootcamp.
I went through the instllation process and came to downloading the drivers (windows support software) but here is where I think i went wrong, when i was asked to burn the windows support software to a cd or save it on to an external drive I chose the option of saving onto a drive but I actually just ended up saving the software on to the main hard drive for my iMac.
I continued to install windows 8 but after installation as expected I'm having problems with the keyboard, mouse, Internet etc without any support software. I went to 'my computer' and the local hard drive only shows the part of drive of the that was particitianed for windows and can't seem to find any way of accessing the mac os x side of the hard drive. I cant even transfer to the mac os x from windows to figure out the problem from there.
Could any one please help with this?
Thanks

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
After using Boot Camp, your computer will start always in Windows. To start in OS X, just hold the X key while your Mac is starting. If you want to start always in OS X, after starting in OS X, go to System Preferences > Startup Disk, and select the OS X partition.
By default, Windows can't read the filesystem that OS X uses for the partition, so that's why you can't access to the OS X partition. Also, you should have burnt the drivers onto a DVD or a USB drive.
As you have already downloaded the drivers, after starting in OS X, copy them to a USB drive or burn them into a DVD. Then, start in Windows and install them. Note that Windows 8 requires Boot Camp 5 drivers, that you can only get from Boot Camp Assistant if you are running OS X 10.8.3. If you want to be sure that you install the correct drivers, I recommend you to download again the Boot Camp 5 drivers from the Apple webpage > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1638

You have Office 2013 installed on a Windows 8 computer - but posted in a Windows 7 forum that cannot deal with office problems. Hence the move to this forum.

Windows XP or Window 7 installation problem through bootcamp

Hi,
I tried to install Window XP through boot camp and successfully made partition, boot the xp cd and copies all the windows installation files on NTFS drive. After restarting system for installation it gives error system32/hal.dll file not found. Can you help in that regard.
2nd Question: Can I Install Windows 7 without any problem on my MacBook Pro.
3rd Question: I have installed Paragon NTFS to access NTFS drive from Mac OS but it doesn't work. It does not show any NTFS partition. Any other solution in that regard?

my experience with the hal.dll had more to do with creating partitions. I have 2 HD in my computer and I wanted to partition the second drive (because it is huge) into 2 and put winxp on one and win7 on the other.
The end result is that, for whatever reason, you cannot partition the drive the windows is on, or you will get that error. I don't know why this is. I tried partition first via bootcamp, partitioning in the XP setup and partition afterward using a tool to partition HD. In every case, as soon as I had partitioned the drive, I would get the hal.dll error.
Windows 7.
32 bit should be just like 32bit vista. If you're asking about 64 bit, then its a little different. The windows 7 64bit isn't supported by apple, and if you have an older mac, it won't install at all. I did find a solution to one of the possible errors. If you are installing win7 64 bit and get the error "select cd-rom boot type" then look up my post on that issue here on the apple forums.

Windows installation problem with Bootcamp

Since a few days I have a new iMac 21,5 (end 2013) Maverick latest version installed as I had on my "old iMac" I tried to instal Windows 8 or Windows 7.
Use the bootcamp and set the right size for my windows part, and download the drivers all goes well. After the iMac reboot comes up with the setup from Windows
ask the keyboard settings and than shows the partitions. Select partition 4:BOOTCAMP. Here starts the problem, I do not see the advance drive options, as also the "NEXT" button is not selectable. As I format the partion also "NEXT" button is not selectable. I am stuck here, please help :-)

I got stuck with the same error and spent a long time trying to work this out. It turns out that the issue is your USB3 stick. I'm not sure how it gets so far into the installation, but it seems that the USB3 drivers aren't available to the Windows installer.
Try again with a USB2-only drive and you should find that Windows will install fine.

Is anyone else having these problems with Bootcamp Windows 7 on MBP?

Ok, I bought a new MBP on Amazon a couple of days ago to be able to put Windows 7 on it with Bootcamp. I wanted the OS with the hardware the MBP had to offer, but have since run into a few problems. Let me know if you've run into similar problems and/or you have solutions.
1. After installing the drivers for Windows, my webcam doesnt work. It says that the drivers are not installed yet I downloaded the most recent driver package from Apple.
2. The MBP gets REALLY hot when running windows 7. This cant be good for the computer components, but is it a fire risk as well?
3. Videos on youtube do not expand fully to the screen, instead leaving black bars on the bottom and right sides.
4. The battery life has decreased from 7 hours to about 2.5 hours while on Windows.
5. When I click an icon on the taskbar, its title flashes over it. (not the biggest deal but its annoying)
These things shouldn't be happening at this price tag. Any help is greaty appreciated.

I personally have no knowledge of how windows runs on a mac. Other then the mac having a efi instead of a bios the hardware is the same. Apple has restricted windows in some ways. After all apple supplies os x. I do know a few people the run windows on their macs and they don't seem to have any really problems.
If you look around HP, Dell, Toshiba, Sony all use i7 cpus and have system that come with ati or nvidia graphics cards.

How do I get Windows 8.1, run via Bootcamp, to detect an external HDMI display

Good afternoon,
So earlier today, I managed to install Windows 8.1, via Bootcamp, on my 15' MBP retina with Iris pro 5200 integrated graphics (Late 2013). I cannot figure out how to get the dang thing to recognize my TV through an HDMI cable. I did have it kinda sorta working the first time I installed Windows on my MBP with bootcamp, but that installation failed. What do I need to do to fix this problem?
Summary:
Using a 15' MBP retina with Iris Pro 5200 graphics. This is not the model with the nvidia graphics card.
This current installation seems to be working without too many problems.
Windows 8.1 will not detect my tv, and yes, the HDMI cable is plugged into both the TV and the MBP.
Why is Windows on my MBP failing? It seems like everything is set up properly.
(I know I could do some weird combination of Thunderbolt to eventually HDMI, but I have not tried this)
I simply want to plug an HDMI cable into my TV and my MBP.
I do have a regular windows desktop, and this works without any problems (besides being windows)
Thanks for any help you guys can offer.

with my imac it worked as automatically as in OS X my video card is amd though and the monitor is dvi rather then hdmi

Connect Wireless Mighty Mouse to windows xp pro sp2 on bootcamp

I recently installed windows xp pro sp2 on bootcamp i tried to hook up my Wireless Mighty Mouse and I got basically nowhere. I was able to get the computer to recognize it and i typed in the passkey "0000" and it knows that it is a bluetooth device and I changed the settings of the bluetooth to "always" be discoverable and still I have hit a dead end. I can still not seem to connect the wireless mouse in any way. What do I do???

I FUIGURED IT OUT!!! omg im so happy right now. For anyone who might be wondering I'll tell you how to make it work it you had the same problem. Once you establish the mouse a device, highlight it in the devices menu, then click properties, then services, and once it is done searching check the box for the driver and click apply and your mouse should work.

HP C309 G AIO can't install in Windows 7 64bit running under BootCamp

HP C309 G Printer wont install in Windows 7 64bit running under BootCamp on a new iMac
Just bought a new iMac. Installed HP C309 all in one without incident on the Mac side. I am also running Windows 7 on iMac through a program called Bootcamp. When I boot to Windows 7 and try to install the newly downloaded software for windows 7 from the HP site, it begins to load then stops, giving me two error messages. They are both essentially the same except one says software and the other says hardware. The software one says: This computer does not have the necessary USB software support to allow completion of a USB installation. The printer plugs directly into the monitor in one of four usb ports. All the usb ports work on the system when using Windows 7. I have other devices working and plugged into the usb ports while in Windows 7. It is almost like the printer software is unable to find the usb software or hardware. Any ideas

Well, you have a full Window's 7 install so you would really have to go to HP and/or Microsoft to see what is going on. Bootcamp basically is only involved with "booting" and just installs Apple product drivers and such. Just treat the Window's side as if you are using it on a "normal" Window's PC. (As far as problems, crash's, updates, or any other Windows, HP, etc, problems you may have.)
"Installed HP C309 all in one without incident on the Mac side."
So,,, that means the printer "works" (prints) on the Mac or the installer just worked? Make sure the Printer actually prints in the Mac side as you may have a dead USB port on the Printer. It happens.
If your HP works fine (prints) in the Apple environment you know it's not the USB ports on either the printer or the computer.
You said you already downloaded the newer versions, have you tried using the drivers on the install disk and then update them to the newer ones? Also if you haven't yet, make sure the drivers are for the 64bit version, just a thought.
That's about all my brain cells have so good luck.......

Please help me with the digital signature validation problem?

Installing Windows 7 64-Bit Using BootCamp on Mac Pro 2,1 (Early 2007)

Hi everybody,
I have Mac Pro 2,1 (early 2007) 8-core, my OS X is 10.6.4, I couldn’t install Windows 7 64-Bit on BootCamp separate drive (as my Mac Pro 2,1 is not supported for this installation by Apple). I am seeking help if anyone find a trick to do that task. Your help on this will be highly appreciated.

I was waiting to see if the original poster was still intent on going through with it, since it's (a) lot of work, and (b) an unsupported configuration. Unless he's using > 4GB of memory I'm not sure why he needs the 64 bit version of Win7 (there's even less reason to run 64-bit Windows as a VM). I'm not prepared to assume the responsiblity of solving any/all current and future problems he may run into, especially if this is for "work" and not a hobby-level, "I just want Win7-64bit" situation. If he's reading this and wants to proceed -
The Jowie page, while workable, requires a more steps (i.e. even more work); plus, the screenshots used are from an earlier release of imgburn, which has different options from the current version, and if the original poster needs that much handholding he could be put off.
Win7 AIK is "needed" because of the oscdimg.exe that is included. It is the "official Microsoft sanctioned" way of generating Windows ISO images. It's a one-line command that outputs an ISO image file once you have the Win7 disc in the drive, no need to muck about checking/unchecking boxes etc., and running the risk of burning coasters (since there's no way of knowing whether your output works until you actually run it, and imgburn has too many ways of messing up when you don't know what you're doing).
There are alternate "direct" sources for oscdimg.exe, which are smaller downloads than Win7 AIK http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=696dd665-9f76-4177-a 811-39c26d3b3b34&displaylang=en , but I'm a little chary of "programs sourced from unidentified hosts", even though I'm certain most of them are just being helpful and are not malicious (have you read Ken Thompson's Reflections on Trusting Trust - http://cm.bell-labs.com/who/ken/trust.html )
If the original poster (or anyone else reading) is interested, either the jowie.com method can be used, if you are averse to a command line or have poor download bandwidth, or you can get oscdimg.exe (however you choose to do so) and execute:
oscdimg -n -m -bd:\boot\etfsboot.com d:\ c:\iso\win7dvd.iso
assuming oscdimg.exe is in your path (or your current directory), and you've created a directory c:\iso
Incidentally, after getting 64-bit Win7 installed your problems aren't over yet, because Boot Camp will refuse to install the 64 bit version on your "unsupported" machine. There is a workaround (see my post in the thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2589967&tstart=0 ) but I do not know if there will be a future release of Boot Camp that would defeat this.

Validation problem in Mapping

Hi,
I am getting this error when I am trying to validate the mapping
Source table is QMI
" VLD-1002: Mapping object QMI is not bound to a repository object.
All objects in a mapping must be bound to objects in the Design Repository. Unbound objects inherit the logical location of the module that owns the mapping. Warehouse Builder cannot generate the physical access specification (schema name and database link) for this unbound object. Perform a synchronization from QMI. "
Could, some body give me a solution for this validation problem.
Cheers,
Krishna,

Hi,
Thanks for your suggestions. I followed your steps and validating didnt returns any errors.
But, When I am trying to deploy I am getting a message
DEPLOYMENT STATUS : USE DEPLOYMENT
UNDO OR REDO BUTTONS TO CLOSE
WINDOW TO FINISH, PROCESSED : 0, ERRORS :0, WARNINGS :0.
I am able to deploy the mappings but not the source tables and target tables. I am getting deploy status failed in the control cetner.
The work process of my scenario is as follows:
1) I am having two tables from which I need to populate my target ( NEW table ) with some of the columns from those tables.
2) I created a two stage tables manually in the database for both of the source tables in two different mappings
source table 1 into stage table 1 in mapping 1
source table 2 into stage table 2 in mapping 2
3) I created a third table as the final target table where I can map these two stage tables into that .
stage table 1 and stage table 2 into target table in mapping 3 using a JOINER operator. I had given the join condidion as well.
4) All these stage tables and the final target table and the mappings are in the target module.
Is this is the way to work on these type of scenarios. Actually I need to JOIN 8 tables and pull some of the necessary columns into the target table based on the condition.
Intitially I had used a JOINER condition to JOIN those 8 tables in a single mapping.But it gave me the deployment error.
Could you guys please give me a hand by giving me some suggestion how to proceed in this scenario.
Last question : Are there any training centers in chennai or Hyderabad where I can get some trining over OWB 10g.
Cheers,
Krishna.

Cannot enable hyper-v in windows 8.1(EFI from bootcamp)

Hi Guys,
I wonder whether anybody has the same issue as me.
Use boot camp assistant to follow the instruction to install windows 8.1 and failed at last step said windows cannot write into boot configuration data something
Find one remediation solution to delete the partition created by boot camp and create it from disk utitlity. everything went smooth and get windows 8.1 installed(Bios), can even enable the hyper-v without any issue
Find another thread talking about EFI boot. So try it with the way(need use gdisk to do some patching and finally need recreate bcd record). windows 8.1 installed without any issue, not sure whether it is EFI boot. But I cannot enable hyper v anymore. after tick the option in windows features and it restart twice and nothing happen. The hyper-v option still remain in windows feature.
Anybody has the similar issue and provide your valuable advice? Thanks a lot.
BTW, the hardware is rMBP 15", i7 2.3GHZ, 16G RAM and 512G SSD

Hi TeddyIsSam
Encountered the same problem on my 27" iMac Mid-2010 (CPU i5-2500s)
I tried for hours/days and could not enable Hyper-V.
If i enabled hyper-v, windows would boot to black screen and could not be repaired without disabling hyper-v.
Found the problem. installing bootcamp from USB with always use latest EFI boot and hyper-v doesnt like it - at least on my old iMac.
Installing windows with old bootcamp style - BIOS emulation (or whatever apple call it) works OK.
non-EFI (or old bootcamp) is when you get 1-2 second of cursor flash in the top left before windows boots.
Unfortunately, i had removed my super drive DVD from iMac... so i could only install bootcamp from USB and this requires EFI boot only.
To remedy this, i used this process which was very,very time consuming, costs $ for winclone and not for beginners
http://huguesval.com/blog/2012/02/installing-windows-7-on-a-mac-without-superdri ve-with-virtualbox/
However, i can confirm i can now happily run hyper-v with Windows 8.1. great performance. It boots in old non-EFI mode which doesnt seem to have any downside? except the 1-2 cursor flash and i had to manually install latest graphics drivers from ATI as bootcamp drivers we buggy.
Hope this saves someone a lot of time!!!
im assuming later generation Macs happily run hyper-v with latest EFI.

On MacPro Windows XP slow - is it Bootcamp?

I have MacPro with 2 dual core Xeon processors 2.66 Ghz , 3GB Ram, 3 hard drives. The last 6 month I've used it mainly under Bootcamp and Windows XP because of software availability issues.
Last month I've become desperate - computer was working so slow. For example to start Maya took 70 sec, after I click on a file with .txt extension in file manager I have to wait a minute or 2 for notepad to open.
So I did some research, downloaded some utilities to configure computer, to tweak configuration, cleaned up registry, unfragmented hard drives. After a week of work I still had the same problem,
what I've learned that there is no way to use more than 2 GB of RAM under bootcamp and that only one processor is used for all operations, only for rendering system uses all 4 processors.
Then I've decided to go back to Mac OS, installed Maya for Mac and Parallels and miracle happened, now my computer is so fast. To start up Maya under Mac OS takes 25 sec, it uses all 4 processors for all operations and all 3 GB of RAM. I still need Windows to run some applications but it seems to run much faster even if it uses the same Bootcamp partition.
So now I'm trying to figure out: is it Mac OS X so much faster than Windows XP or Apple's Bootcamp slows down Windows and on a Windows computer Windows XP is fast.
What do you think?

is it Mac OS X so much faster than Windows XP or Apple's Bootcamp slows down Windows and on a Windows computer Windows XP is fast
I don't believe it's either. I think it's simply Windows XP having problems. Windows XP should go like any PC with similar hardware. All Boot Camp does is allow a GUID partitioned drive to have a NTFS/FAT32 partition on it such that it appears as a C drive to Windows. That all it does. Additionally, drivers are supplied for Apple specific hardware.
I would check the state of your Windows XP installation.
