64bit Vista on a macbook

can i run the 64bit version of vista on my 1st gen macbook?

Actually... Vista has two versions... a 32 bit and a 64 bit version. Only the latest edition of MacBooks have the Core 2 Duo processors (64 bit)... the original MacBook release had a Core Duo processor (32 bit)... You can install the 32 bit version on 64 bit hardware, but you CANNOT install the 64 bit version on 32 bit hardware. The current version of OS X does not fully support 64 bit... that will come with the next release, Leopard. From what I can tell, Leopard will have one version that will support both 64 & 32 bit systems (although, I could be mistaken on this).

Do I need to install boot camp on Windows 7 as well as on Lion? I already installed it some years ago on Leopard when installing Windows Vista on my Macbook Pro. But now after installing Windows 7, many things in windows doesn't work (sound etc.)

Do I need to install boot camp on Windows 7 as well as on Lion? I already installed it some years ago on Leopard when installing Windows Vista on my Macbook Pro. But now after installing Windows 7, many things in windows doesn't work (sound etc.). I made a clean installation because I needed to go from 32 bit to 64 bit.
Or should I just update bootcamp in Lion? (cause when I search for "boot camp" in Windows 7 there's no result)

Java SDK ME on 64bit Vista?

I'm trying to pick up some programming skills in Java so that I can make apps for my phone, I require Java SDK ME to do so. I've seen a lot of people saying that Java SDK ME won't work on 64bit Vista and they're right, it doesn't. However, some people said there was a way to make it work, but they didn't seem to be very good at giving instructions so I'm still lost.
At the moment, I have no Java developer tools installed because none of them worked. Could someone point me in the right direction to getting Java SDK ME to work on 64bit Vista?

Hopefully this can help you:

Installing Windows XP Pro or Vista on a MacBook

Yes, i've backed up all my information onto a image disk. Now, i want to install Windows XP Pro or Vista onto my MacBook. What is the easiest way of doing this without slowing down my performance of my macbook???
I would like step by step instructions and hopefully they are simple, lol.
Thanks,
Jeremy

The easiest way to do it is to download and install Boot Camp. As long as you follow Apple's instructions it should go just fine.
I have installed both XP and Vista - at different times - on my BlackBook and they both work fine.

Adobe is not Compatible with Vista? or not compatible with 64bit Vista?

From reading through some of the threads here, I am still a
bit confused. Is Captivate 4 not compatible with Windows Vista at
all? Or just not supposedly compatible with 64bit Vista?
Has anyone tried to do a software simulation recording of the
start button, or start menu, or any control panel windows? It
doesn't register a click at all! It will not record a frame!
This is rediculous Adobe. You had, what... 2 years almost? to
develop Captivate 4? And you can't even make it Vista compaitble?
I suppose you'll drop Captivate 5 in 6 months and make
everyone pay $400 for an upgrade just so they can record anything
in Vista? This had better be a high priority update. As it stands
right now, I have to do full motion recording. If I want to do
that, I will use Camtasia!!!
Please give me an answer or a workaround.... Someone..
Anyone.
I am using 64bit and it works fine if recording within an IE
window. All editing, recording, etc functions work fine. I have
tried to do this on a 32 bit version as well with no luck
(recording start menu / button/ control panel windows/etc)
Thank you.

> The problem somehow lies in the system windows. I always
run captivate "as

"control panel"

What changed??

Captivate 3 and 4 work fine on 32-bit Vista. Neither is fully
compatible
with 64-bit Vista, so far as I know, but you should be able
to get results
by running in 32-bit compatibility mode.

Vista x64 and MacBook Pro 65nm

According to this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1846
..this MacBook Pro 15" model is the only one with Vista x64 drivers: MacBook Pro (15-inch Early 2008).
I have the model from mid 2007, and am wondering why it is not supported?
As far as I can tell almost nothing has changed in regards to hardware, so why wouldn't it be supported?

The 2008 Mac Pro went from EFI32 to EFI64, not sure if that is the main or only reason.
I had to grab 64-bit BootCamp setup elsewhere, as Leopard 10.5.0 retail didn't include those and I wouldn't have support needed for HAL and such.
Apple started using new Intel chips, but that alone doesn't explain an even more glaring question: the latest 2008 iMac has Penryn cpu and would seem an excellent "candidate" for 64-bit Vista, but that model is excluded and not listed in that article.
No one of course that knows can say and just speculating out loud.
Can Vista 64-bit be installed? Probably yes and I think you can find some threads. I started with Vista x64 back in fall '06 pre-beta BootCamp with RC1 of Vista Ultimate but lacked a few things.
I suspect you have 32-bit EFI firmware is the only real reason.

FIX FOR 64BIT VISTA SPIDIF (Audugy2 ZS platinum) running to an external

?This is when I want to run my PC to my projector and home theatre amp.
Hello All. Im not an expert on this subject but I have been trying to get spidif to work for frigging ages and last night I actually did. So here goes. Hopefully this information will help other 64bit vista users out there with an Audugy2 ZS platinum.
Things I got before starting: Latest creative drivers, K-Lite 64bit codecs and 64bit version of media player.
In audio console, pick spidif passthrough.
In control panel, Go to speakers, custom tab, and set to digital output only.
Set your spdif out as default. and tick output to 48000hz (i just ticked all of them, but I hear that 48000 is a safe one to aim for). Mine is set to 96000hz.
Now for PowerDVD in configuration pick spdif in the audio tab, mine actually worked now! and for Avis etc with a 5. soundtrack? use the 64bit version of media player (Ive read somewhere that the default 32bit version has issues with 64bit vista when it comes to spdif). Now I watch Avis in 5.!
Hope this has hepled some people and I apologise if this info is somewhere else on the forums.
Bye

How to transfer my daughter's iTunes from her Vista laptop to MacBook Pro?

I am trying to transfer my daughter's iTunes from her Vista laptop to her new MacBook Pro and I cannot figure out why iTunes cannot find the songs. Help??
Her old laptop runs Windows Vista and her MacBook Pro is running Leopard.....I copied the iTunes folder under My Music on the PC and then dropped in the Music folder under iTunes. I can see the songs when we opened up iTunes but when you try and play the song, a message pops up saying iTunes cannot find the music file, and asks if I want to try and locate it. I locate it and nothing happens.
I spent $100 at the Annapolis Apple Store so she could go in on her One-0n-One and have all of this done for her. When she went in, they told her she could leave her laptop and macbook and it would take up to three days!!!! That was unacceptable....they then told her she needed to transfer everything and then come in for the One-On-One and have any questions she had answered. SO, I am trying to complete the transfers and everything worked like a charm until I tried to tackle the iTunes part.
Any help would be deeply appreciated!!

Can I run Vista on my MacBook?

Will I be able to run Vista on my MacBook with bootcamp? I am planning to allocate 28 GB to the Windows partition as I do not run a lot of Mac OS X programs, but nonetheless...that leaves 6 GB of free space. Is that enough? Will Vista run well?
btw is OS X better or Vista better? The UI on Vista is very cool.

Nobody knows that vista will runs well until it is officially release and you install market version not the beta version.
For pc user vista ui might look awesome but maybe for most mac os x user, those ui has been there in os since os migrate to os X from os 9.
Also consider stability and security over a cool ui, for vista is build from the scratch apart from dos and win 2000/xp engine.
Every software have had their own follower and user and have their selling point or feature that not available as trade mark for its respectively os., and I am sure vista has that too, but it still beta tester until now and I don't want to speculate with that.
ps: you need at least 5 GB for windows partition as boot camp suggested.
Good Luck.

Maximum usable RAM under 64bit Vista with LR2 / CS3?

Forgive me if I'm just stupid but I've been looking and looking and cannot find a definitive answer here on the Adobe site.
What is the maximum usable system RAM that LS2 and CS3 can take advantage of when running 64bit Vista on a multicore x86 processor PC?
Any links to articles or practical hands on experiences posted would be appreciated!

Hey Jao thanks for the quick reply. So if I have an 8GB box running under Vista 64bit LR2 can use as much as it needs beyond the memory used by CS3 and the memory sucked up by Vista 64bit O/S?
It was my understanding that XP 32bit users could use up to 3GB and the O/S would see and use it. I used to have 4GB in a box and XP Pro only used the first 3GB but due to the overhead of memory refresh and the propagation latencies adding up it turned out 2GB was as fast or faster much of the time. So you're saying that CS3 is still limited to the previous 3GB barrier?
Thanks!

Itunes 64bit Vista

Hi guys,
I bought a new comp 2 weeks ago downloaded the latest version of ITunes (7.3) it worked fine yet I couldn't get it to burn anything (no big deal).
Two days later, I had ITunes running went away from the computer for a while and when I came back ITunes had closed???? Tried to re-open ITunes and it said DEP or something was stopping it from opening. I have now turned off DEP yet it gives me a different error problem APPCRASH.
Quicktime will not open either.
I am running 64bit Vista and have heard of numerous program combatability issues. I really don't want to install XP though is there a patch or something that is ready to enable ITunes to work on VISTA.
Does anyone know why;
-ITunes worked for 2 days then died???
-Quicktime doesn't work either???
-Burning didn't work originally???
IS there a date for when a patch or solution for this problem is meant to be fixed, have tried contacting Dell, Microsoft, Apple and have had 1 unhelpful response from Microsoft.

We are all just users here and we do not know what Apple plans until they announce them.
However there is a clue that Apple may be working on 64 bit support in a mysterious error message produced by iTunes which referes to a 64 bit version - which does not currently exist.

Satellite P100-324: Need 64bit VISTA drivers

Hi. I have problem with finding drivers for 64bit VISTA for my lap (P100-324). On Toshiba drivers page, there are mostly Vista 32bit drivers, but no 64bit...
What drivers I found working:
chipset - from intel page
display - from laptop2go.com
Especialy, I have problems with Connexant audio and card reader driver.
Maybe you know what EXACTLY is inside this lap?
Best regards,
Jarek

Hi
The internet is a really a gossip factory. I found some statements that Toshiba plans to publish the Vista 64bit drivers. But thats all
We will see in the future what drivers and what notebook series will be supported

Unable to open Bootcamp install of Vista after upgrading MacBook Pro / Mid 2010 to OS Mavericks

Dear Community,
I am unable able to boot the Windows Vista install (via Boot Camp) on my MacBook Pro / mid 2010 after upgrading to OS Maverick.
Any idea about how this problem can be solved (I don't want to purchase Windows 7 and I don't want to purchase a virtual machine)?
Many thanks for your support!
Regards,
PSeguro

Hello 88,
I haven't resized / modified anything since installing Vista on my System. The problem must have incurred when upgrading from Snow Leopard to Maverick.
by the way:
I (just) found out that Windows Vista is booting (automatically) when I insert my original "Mac OS X Install DVD" / 10.6.3 (or my "Applications Install DVD") before starting the MacBook. It will - hwr - not boot without above DVDs in the tray...
