Adobe Bridge freezes up often on Windows running under Boot Camp

Does anyone else have this problem? I am using Bridge on Xp with Boot Camp to do my initial sort of photos and it will freeze up almost half the times when I go to delete a batch of photos.

You should probably post your question in either the Boot Camp discussions, or on Adobe's forums.

Can quickbooks 2012 for windows run on boot camp?

I just bought the new macbook pro, and was wondering if I can run Quickbooks 2012 for windows on the boot camp using windows?

Yes. But first you have to install Windows.
Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows 7. 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.
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.
VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows. The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
VirtualBox is a new 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 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.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. 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.

MacMini running Windows 7 under boot Camp

I have a MacMini running MacOS X 10.6.6 and bootcamp 3.2. I use this machine specifically to run my windows applications. The mac is running Windows 7 Professional. Its on a network with 2 iMac. Both iMac can connect to the MacMini without difficulty, and look at the files on the machine. Windows 7 is configured for Remote Desktop Access. Both of the iMacs are configured with Remote Desktop Connection 2.1 from Microsoft and according the Microsoft's website I should be able to access a Windows 7 machine. Of course they are not specific about the platform they Windows 7 is running on.
Is anyone out there connecting to a MacMini running Windows 7 (BootCamp) with a RDC client and access the applications on the Windows 7 machine? This use to work with Parallels 6 but I had problems with the machine freezing and reconfigured to run under BootCamp.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Just an idea for you. There is an entire Apple Discussion forum dedicated to Boot Camp and Windows.
Whereas, not everyone here with an Mac mini has installed, tried to install or has experience with BC & Windows, everyone there has or at least has an interest. You may attract help more quickly there.
The Forums are at the bottom of the main Apple Discussions page under Windows Compatible Technology. Here is a link;

ITunes opens but without any text showing. Drop down menus have text but not the app itself. I have a Mac Powerbook Pro running Windows XP under Boot Camp.

Running under Windows XP, a few upgrades ago iTunes started opening without any text showing in the application. Clicking on PLAY will play music but no text shows to indicate what's playing and no text to show music library. Drop down windows show text but not the app itself.
Subsequent upgrades and reinstalls have not corrected the problem, When I run under iOS (Snow Leopard), iTunes opens with text and runs correctly.
Help!

Because I created FAT32 partition using Boot Camp tool few days ago I installed my custom copy of Windows XP with SP3, IE7 and WMP10 integrated using nLite (for WMP10 integration use RVM Integrator). I did not use Boot Camp tool this time - I just booted CD using Option key. Then I installed Boot Camp 2.0 drivers you can find on Mac Disk 1. After this I installed Boot Camp drivers 2.1 update. In Add or remove Programs I checked drivers - I uninstalled old drivers which call identical, but you can skip this. Everything works fine BTW it is better to format your partition to NTFS - you have much less disk errors, you do not waste time for disk errors scans during Windows startup, your data are much more safe. If you need NTFS write permissions use great tool Paragon NTFS for Mac OSX or open source NTFS driver.

Windows updates under boot camp

What are boot camp users doing about windows updates. I downloaded the auto-updater and it hosed my video drivers. Had to hook up another monitor to see anything and reinstall the Mac CD drivers.
Is the auto-updater a no-no? Should I just download any updates manually?

I have seen this behavior on my MacBook Pro (Boot Camp). It doesn't happen often, but interestingly it usually occurs in a reboot following a Microsoft Update. Sound familiar?
I know by observing the reboot sequnce of events if it has been locked into this state. Normally, the second time the screen goes black, then I expect the cursor on a black background, and then the final sequence Windows desktop. But the cursor never reappears and the screen remains a black void. There is no response to external input, and the only solution is to hold the power button until power down. It always boots up just fine thereafter...
I haven't installed Boot Camp on my new Mac Pro yet, but I'm interested to see if this problem shows itself on the new machine...
Whatever the cause, it is very fleeting. But it does exist.

Can't get wireless keyboard to work in Windows 7 under boot camp

I have removed the keyboard in OS X, and when I try to get it to pair it will show up and ask me to enter a string of numbers and hit enter, and when I do, it says it is working, but the keyboard itself stays in discovery mode (blinking light) and doesn't work.
I have followed every guide I can find with no success. Is there anything I have to do after it is 'paired' to be able to actually get the keyboard to realize that it is paired and not automatically go into discovery mode?

This problem is not a problem with Windows or Apple. It has to do with when the updates are applied to Windows boot camp. The way to fix this is as follows. First click on the bluetooth icon from the Windows start page. Then click show bluetooth items. From this window click add a new device. When the device appears double click on the icon for the device. A window should appear that at the top says general and other. Click on the other tab and another window comes up with a small box in it. Check the box and Windows will search and install the exact, correct drivers for the device. Now the device will pair and work fine.

Can I use my Mac OS iTunes Library with Windows XP under Boot Camp?

Hello. I have a Mac Pro with two drives, a 1TB Mac OS 10.5 drive and a 500GB Windows XP drive. I have a large iTunes library on my Mac OS drive, and I'd like to be able to access it when I'm using XP. I downloaded MacDrive hoping that I'd be able to use the same iTunes library, but I'm stuck as to what to do now. Anyone know if this is possible, and how I can get it to work?

I have my entire iTunes library shared between Mac OS X 10.5.2 and XP (aka. Media Center 2005).
I use an HFS+ volume accessed via MacDrive. In my case I started off with the Windows iTunes as the master (and use it to rip all my CDs). I then set the Mac side running iTunes to use the same iTunes folder as specified in Windows (this is done in Advanced Preferences). I also replaced the Mac "iTunes Music Library.xml" and "iTunes Library" file (both stored in /Users/username/Music/iTunes) with aliases pointing to "C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\Music\iTunes\iTunes Music Library.xml" and "C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\Music\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl" respectively.
Note: I suspect the Mac side will need write access to these two files, and as I used FAT32 for the Windows volume the Mac does have write access. However there are now at least two ways for the Mac to get write access to NTFS volumes (MacFuse being one). It may also be possible to tell iTunes to store these files themselves in a common location (not tried that).
While it is not relevant to your query, I have also managed to share my entire iTunes library with Windows Media Player (and therefore also to Media Center 2005). All my music is in Apple Lossless format and I have a directshow filter for WMP to let it play Apple Lossless (or unprotected AAC). I also have a plugin installed to let WMP read the meta tags in MPEG4 (i.e. AAC and Apple Lossless) files.
When I switch from Windows to Mac and run iTunes it does a brief rebuild, when I switch from Mac to Windows it again does a brief rebuild and the result is that the list of music in iTunes on both operating systems is always the same and successfully accesses the same music files on the shared volume. I rebooted back in to Mac OS X at the weekend and was happily accessing the music in Front Row.

Installing new NVIDIA Drivers in Windows XP (under Boot Camp)

Greetings,
This may seem like a stupid question, but I'll ask anyway. Are we able to download and install the latest 9600M GT WinXP Drivers made available here: http://www.nvidia.com/object/geforcenotebook_winxp_185.85whql.html ?
I noticed the ones that came with my MBP 15" are 177.56, but NVIDIA has posted new ones, 185.5.
Can I update to the latest drivers or am I restricted to the ones that came with my MBP and Leopard Installation?
Thanks!

I have been repeatedly advised by Apple that future Boot Camp upgrades may not install properly if users have installed different drivers manually.
I had experienced this myself on my late 2007 MacBook Pro, and I had to roll back the drivers in order to upgrade Boot Camp.
Many issues have been reported about driver conflicts in Boot Camp on the unibody MacBook Pros, and Boot Camp is definitely due for an update. For these reasons, I have chosen not to manually update drivers on my unibody MacBook Pro.
I hope that this helps!
Good luck!

Fat32 External Hard Drive does NOT mount on Windows XP Pro under boot camp

I have a gateway 160gb portable external HDD. When it came pre-formatted in NTFS. It mounted on Windows XP under boot camp or Vmware Virtual machine very well.
I then formatted it under HFS+ to use it with superduper.
Now that I want to convert it back to NTFS. I formatted it under Fat32 so that windows can recognize it and I can format it again under NTFS.
The drive mounts fine on Mac OSX leopard but not on Windows XP (bootcamp or Vmware VM). Could someone help? I need this drive to be under NTFS so that I can store work related files which can only be run on Windows and some of the files are larger than 4gb.
Thank you

Under Disk Utility>Partition select anything other than 'Current' under 'Volume Scheme', then the format field will light. However, you should have been able to format under Windows Disk Management once it was online. See:

Mac Notebook - Install Windows 7 with Boot Camp

The DVD drive is broken so I am not able to install Windows 7 using boot camp. I created a few bootable Windows 7 USB drives and while the Mac is reading the drive, when I attempt have boot camp use this flash drive to install Windows 7, it keeps giving me an error that the Windows 7 CD is not in the DVD drive. It's looking for the Windows 7 installation CD in the DVD drive.
How do I get around this? I think I created the bootable USB drvie with Windows 7 correctly but it's still not working. Are there other workarounds I can do such as download the ISO file to the Mac's desktop and use boot camp to install Windows?
Thanks.

You didn't mention which OS X version you have. Not every Mac or every version of OS X or every version of Boot Camp supports installing every version of Windows from an ISO image.
Boot Camp 5.1: Frequently asked questions - Apple Support
Depending upon the age and parts availability of your Mac, it might be less expensive to have it repaired, or to purchase an external DVD drive. No guarantee that Boot Camp will 'see' the external DVD, with the internal DVD still connected, however.
If Boot Camp on your Mac does not support an ISO image, and your Mac DOES support the minimum requirements to run a recent version of Parallels (7 or newer), Parallels is capable of installing a Windows virtual machine from a Windows ISO image. Windows performance under Boot Camp is likely much better than Windows running as a virtual machine under Parallels and OS X. The most recent version of Parallels is always available for a short-duration free trial: http://www.parallels.com You still need a valid Windows license to complete even a trial installation. Older versions of Parallels (prior to version 9) will not run under OS X 10.10 Yosemite. Parallels needs to be set to look for the correct ISO image location, rather than a DVD.

Resolve trouble between Parallels and Windows under Boot Camp

After seeing several threads relating to this issue, I decided to make this it's own thread instead of trying to reply to each. hopkinsvscloudlivestream.blogspot.com/2013/03/watch-hopkins-vs-cloud-live-stream-2013.html This article NOW resolves all issues pertaining to using Windows under Boot Camp through Parallels, INCLUDING activation. Hopefully Parallels will be able to integrate these fixes into a future release.
Before doing anything, I would recommend preparing your existing Windows installation under Boot Camp, for Parallels, before trying to access it through Parallels. If you have already installed Parallels and now have problems, don't worry, this article should address and resolve these issues as well.
Something to know upfront: using your existing Boot Camp installation with Parallels will most likely require you to activate your Windows installation a second time. The reasons for this are addressed in Section 4 of this article.
Section 1: Preparing your Boot Camp Installation for Parallels
(If you already tried to access your Boot Camp installation through Parallels, and can no longer get into Windows through Boot Camp or Parallels, please skip this step and come back to it after you have completed Section 2.)

Personally, I think the software fix is a band-aid for a larger hardware problem, probably involving the power management circuitry. I think the reason Photo Booth and QuietMBP and Windows XP all work to silence the noise is because they draw more power by using more CPU, and it's the extra power draw that kills the noise. Nothing scientific, mind you, just a hunch.
What if your speakers made an annoying hum that went away whenever you started playing music through them in iTunes? Would you still think it's a software problem? I think it's a similar situation here - where software can cover up the issue but not really fix it...

Stuck on windows start up (Boot camp) and can't use my keyboard or mouse

Hi Eryland,
If you are having issues logging in to your Windows install under Boot Camp, you may want to see if you can select the startup volume to boot into OS X. You may find the following article helpful:

If I want to run OSX Server and also want to run Windows 8 on Boot Camp, will server still run when I boot into windows?

I want to set up OSX Server on my iMAC running Mavericks and also install Windows 8 on Boot Camp. If I do this and boot into Windows, will that prevent server from running while I'm in Windows?

No. Bootcamp, as you've described, requires rebooting into your chosen operating system. If you want to run both OS X and Windows at the same time from your hardware, look at virtualization tools like Parrallels or VMWare.

Can't run windows install/upgrade within windows installed on boot camp

I have an issue which seems to be something related to the new version of boot camp. I have installed Win7 on my mac, but my disc is special which requires it to be used as an upgrade. I am able to install it on a formatted partition but can't activate it until I run windows 7 setup again within windows and "Upgrade" itself. I cannot run windows setup within boot camp win7. I get the message: "Windows was unable to create a required installation folder. Error code: 0x80070005"
The reason I say "new" version of boot camp is because I found old solutions to this problem where you just have to uninstall the boot camp stuff from Windows, but you can no longer do that it seems.
Does anyone have a clue as to how I can get around this and do the upgrade?

Even though it worked fine with the old motherboard setup? Before I tried installing windows 98 and ME, it would automatically run scandisk and it didn't report any errors.
