2011 i7 Macbook Pro with Windows 7 SP1, can't get it to work

2.2 GHz Macbook Pro 2011 17 inch
OCZ Vertex 3
Mac OS X 10.6.8
2nd HD instead of optical drive
I bought a downloadable version of Windows 7 SP1 from Microsoft and burned it to a disk. I have tried probably 25 times to install via Bootcamp, but I always get a black screen with a blinking cursor. I went to an Office Depot in Mexico and bought a hard copy of Windows 7 and still have the same problem.
I have searched and it seems like you can't install Windows 7 on Bootcamp via external drive (have read it on multiple sites, but can't figure out why).
I just upgraded to Lion after reading that you can install a Windows iso on a USB Stick, but after looking on these forums, the FAQ says it will work on only certain models.... My question is, what models? I have tried searching, but have had zero results.

your burn is the first issue, common - reduced slowest 2x burn speed
3rd party superdrives also don't work and you need support driver
you need to disconnect the 2nd internal drive also

Hello, this might be a basic question, but how do you open QuickTime to record a new webinar? I have a new MacBook Pro with Yosemite and can only get QuickTime to appear in Finder but not actually open to allow me to record something new. Thx.

Hi Winterwilly,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
The article linked below answers your question of how to use QuickTime to record something on your MacBook Pro’s screen.

How did you get them to install the first time and where did you get them?
Read the Installation Guide, Boot Camp 4.0 FAQ and the Windows 7 FAQ.
Here's the Boot Camp Manual.

Purchased MacBook Pro with windows which will not now open b/c no license number.
CD package has license number stripped from Apple. How do I get the license number
for the software I purchased for Windows XT?

This is not a Mac/Apple issue. You need to contact the seller and ask where the Windows XP product key is.

i bought the macbook pro few months ago can i get the lion upgrade for free as a part of my software support?

They announced it; sorry, no free Lion:
"The Mac OS X Lion Up-To-Date upgrade is available at no additional charge via the Mac App Store to all customers who purchased a qualifying new Mac system from Apple or an Apple Authorized Reseller on or after June 6, 2011. Users must request their Up-To-Date upgrade within 30 days of purchase of their Mac computer. Customers who purchase a qualifying Mac between June 6, 2011 and the date when Lion is available in the Mac App Store will have 30 days from Lion’s official release date to make a request."

If i bought a macbook pro on 4 juin,can i get the upgrade of new max os lion free?

if i bought a macbook pro on 4 juin,can i get the upgrade of new max os lion free?
i buy it directly from the apple store.

Might be a discount voucher near-term, to match up with past programs. That would positively scream "epic win" in addition to being a really nice gesture by Apple. But this is an educated guess.
We still have to find out how 10.4 and 10.5 holdouts from late '06-mid '09 (and y'all know who y'all are, ladies and gents) are going to get Lion based on the only system requirement of a 64-bit CPU. I suspect a Mac Box Set refresh would be in order for this task.
Also: how would one reinstall Lion "clean" if, say, the hard disk flips out or one just doesn't want excess baggage gumming up his machine? Recovery partitions assume the worst won't happen.
Unfortunately, this also leaves the earlier '06 Macs on life support and effectively kills off all prior Macs with PowerPC chips, so to anybody with a Core Duo or G-series chip, Apple wants you upgrading hardware--NOW!

Some problems on my macbook pro with windows 7.

I just installed win 7 on my macbook pro with retina. I used win7 several times, but now, when I enter in win7 side, there is always black screen on my computer. However, I can enter in safe mode. What can I do about this? PLZZZZZ　ＨＥＬＰＰＰ　ＭＥＥＥ！！！

When you say black screen are you referring to the black screen that says "This is not a genuie copy of Windows" ? Or specifically when do you get the black screen/ are there any errors?

TS3196 i have installed windows 7 on my macbook pro with retina display but the internet won't work in Windows, please help!!

I have the latest 13" Macbook Pro with Retina Display. I just recently installed Windows 7 through Bootcamp assistant but when I am in Windows the internet doesn't work. How can I fix this??

I found where to download it in bootcamp, I just can't find my usb drive I will need to buy a new one and then give it a shot. I am sure I will be back to ask more questions... thanks for your help.

Updated MacBook Pro with Windows 7, doing nothing on Apple

I have a MacBook Pro with Leopard 10.5.1, and I was running Windows XP Pro Service Pack 3 on the Windows side.
I updated to Windows 7 , but did not do anything on the Apple side. Big mistake,
Windows 7 works fine BUT!!! I have no Mac OS.
In order to get the Mac working again, what do I need to do? Will I have to restart my Windows 7 upgrade, and use Bootcamp with the Leopard. Can I reload Leopard and BootCamp and then have both Leopard and Windows 7 working as properly.
If you could provide or direct me to someone who could, step by step instruction on this please do so.
My windows Data is still on Carbonite and I have no issues with having to lose my Apple side memory.
I have a external drive if needed I also have 37.3Gig free space
A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.

I am not sure what the selections were. Maybe this will help. I ran the Windows 7 upgrade without any thought to BootCamp or the Leopard OS. Now Windows 7 is on the same partition that XP had been on.
I have no reason to thank that my Leopard OS is not fine but is now isolated from the Windows 7 or anywhere that I could find.
Maybe If I downloaded BootCamp it would make that connection again.
Thanks for your help, am I the only one to make this mistake??

Keyboard hangs on MacBook Pro with Windows 7

I have a 2008 MacBook Pro and Windows 7 RC installed with Boot Camp drivers.
More and more, the keyboard hangs. Sometimes it does not register a keystroke (for about 1 second), and shortly thereafter it hangs on 1 keystroke (pressing a random key once results in about 30 of that characters on screen).
I know Windows 7 is still not officialy released, but I do hope this gets fixed in the near future. I have had many Windows 7 installs, including previous versions. They all had the same issue.
The problem seems to be the Keyboard manager. Windows 7 also reported that this service was using more than usual resources, causing it to be bad for battery life.

Same problem here. I already installed Windows 7 and then Windows XP to see if this was a Win7 issue but on both OS the issue is occurring.
Delay with the Keyboard when press a key. Sometimes it writes 30 or more of the same character.
I can't do the double fingers/right click most of the times since the drives seems to hang and multitouch trackpad stops to recognize the two fingers right click. It eventually come back working OK from time to time and then stops working again.
Bootcamp 3.0 did not resolve the issue for me under Win XP and Win 7

The only place that I know that you might could score a specific logic board is www.ifixit.com. They may be able to ship to your hotel.

Can i buy a macbook pro with windows already on it

I'm looking to buy a Macbook Pro and I am also wanting windows on it. Can I buy it with it already installed ?

No you cant't however you can easily install it with bootcamp. Here is an easy guide READ THROUGH ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS AND MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND BEFORE DOING ANYTHING: http://www.tuaw.com/2009/11/02/an-illustrated-guide-to-boot-camp-and-windows-7/
All you need is a usb (8GB), Windows 7 full copy (no upgrade) and about 1 hour of time

Appcrash with multitrack sessions in Audition CS6 on a MacBook Pro with Windows 7

This is an issue with multitrack sessions different from 44100 Hz in Audition CS6 (as part of a Premium Suite CS6). While multitrack sessions with a sampling rate of 44100 Hz works normally (as long as I use clips with 44100 Hz) any other sampling rate causes an APPCRASH (s. below). Also with the insertion ( in a 44100 Hz multitrack session, of course) of any clip with a sampling rate different from 44100 Hz, the programme crashes in the moment it's going to generate a adapted copy for the multitrack timeline.
Audition is installed on a MacBook Pro Retina 15" ,Mid 2014, Model 11,3, Intel Core i7 4870HQ 2,5 GHz, 16GB RAM with Windows 7 SP1.
I tried all advices of the Adobe troubleshooting site and some of the community.
Especially:
- the simplified mode with user-defined system start
- deactivated user account control
- new user account
- deactivated data execution prevention (DEP)
Also the use of different audio interfaces affords no effect:
- build in Cirrus Logic CS4208 with MME drivers
- Motu UltraLight mk3 hybrid via USB with Asio drivers.
In spite of an extensive search I can't find any similar case in the net.
So, please, can you help me?
Sorry, it's a german version of windows 7:

I'm afraid you are right. At the worst I'm more than 50% of the audition users on a mac with windows.To solve the problem within a passable time I would like to change to the mac version of audition. But unfortunately it's impossible to use the mac version with a windows licence. And CS6 licences (mac audition) are not longer available (only at a moon rate).
Because of the weekend we can pass the time with the latest news of my trouble-shooting.
The crash is not only within the multitrack session but also within the waveform view: when I try to change the sampling rate (Edit -> Convert Sample Type) the programme crashes with the same problem signature. And here it crashes with all sampling rates , including 44.1k audio files. On the other hand I can play all sampling rates within the waveform view.
I compared the logfile from the predecessor of the MacBook , a LG Notebook with windows vista and a working Au CS6 with the current logfile of the Mac: They are identical at the beginning and at the end (termination sequence). But after " Initializing AuScripting" there is a "DLMS 6.0x39 FileServer startup code: 0" and the listing of a couple of codecs in the Notebook logfile - but not so in the Mac logfile.
Also the logfile of my workstation with a working Au CS6 shows this "DLMS 6.0x39 FileServer startup code" - line. Because of the two working and one crashing computer this part of the logfile seems to be important ??
