Antivirus for iMac running Windows with Boot Camp

I am running Windows on my Mac using Boot Camp. If I install an antivirus, will it protect me when I am logged into windows? Or do I need to install an additional antivirus when I am on Windows?

You only need anti-virus protection for the Windows environment, though this will likely bring out a fire storm of debate.
The most susceptible system is Windows so protect yourself there.

Macbook Pro running Windows with Boot Camp, wanting to use iMac as second monitor.

I am using a Macbook Pro that is running Windows with Boot Camp. I want to connect it to my iMac so that I can use the iMac as a second monitor.
If it is not possible, I also have a TV that I could use using an HDMI, however when I tried this my Macbook Pro running Windows 8.1 did not detect it in the Display Settings.
What are my options? I just want to use my iMac or TV as a second monitor!!
Any help is appreciated, tMachanks!

Can a mac running windows with Boot Camp be found by Find My iPhone

I'm running Windows on my MacBook Pro via BootCamp and I'm using the Find My iPhone iCloud app on my iPad. My MacBook Pro cannot be found by Find My iPhone, it's labeled as off-line, even though it's connected to the Internet.
So my question is this: is there a way for Find My iPhone to see my Mac while running Windows. Note, I've already got iCloud for Windows installed on the Windows side of my MacBook Pro (and Find My Mac turned on on the Mac side, and while on the Mac side, it's always found, no problem.)

When you iPhone is not connected to the Internet either through 3G/Wi-fi or because it is off then you cannot track it.
If FindMyiPhone is enabled, even if the iPhone is off or not on wifi/3G, it will still show in FindMyiPhone under Devices, though it cannot be located.
If it is not showing No Devices, FindMyiPhone is not enabled.
If it does show in Devices and shows Offline, FindMyiPhone is enabled but it is off or not on wifi/3G.
This is one way to remove the activation lock if you do not have the device. Delete it from FindMyiPhone in iCloud.

How do I activate the numeric on my iMac in windows with boot camp

Problem on early 2009 iMac with OS 10.5.8 500gb hdd after uninstalling Windows with boot camp there is still no more disc space available

I had a partioned HDD 250 gb Mac and 250 gb Windows. I have uninstalled Windows with boot camp but still dont have the extra 250 gb available. What to do now?

You need to remove the partition you created when you set up BootCamp.

Problems installing Windows with Boot Camp

Hello,
i am having this strange issue with boot camp. i have my windows 7 install dvd and go through all the standard boot camp procedure's, but once its finished partitioning the disk and restarts it just opens up to the apple logo on a grey screen, no spining logo, no status bar, nothing! ive left it for 6 hours on this screen 2-3 times now and nothing is happening. when i turn off and on again it just goes to a black screen telling me to install a bootable device and press any key. BUT THE INSTAL DISC IS IN!!! its driving me insane!
windows was burned to a dvd using disc aid and the .iso copied over fine and was verified and everything. the machine im trying to get this to run on is a 15 mbp 2.66 i7. the optical drive has been replaced with a 120gb ssd and there is a 1tb internal sitting in the hdd bay. i dont know if that has any relavance to this issue? i boot osx 10.7 (mountain lion) off the ssd and am trying to boot camp my hdd, but that couldent cause issues could it?
ive had a look around the other disscussions and fourums for 4 days now and i think i have seen nearly every bootcamp related youtube video there is! AND IT STILL DOSENT WORK!
if any one has ANY idea or sugesstion on how i can rectify this issue it would be greatly appriceated.
thanks for your time!
Harry.

"You can't do both boot drive and storage drive on the same drive.
A boot drive requires (all data off first) it to be formatted GUID and OSX Extended Journaled, then OS X installed, then option key at boot to select that HD OS X boot drive, then BootCamp proceedure ran and install into the partition it creates on the HD."
THANKS AGAIN, i think im getting closer to a solution, i really dident think that simple old bootcamp could become so complicated!.
so i couldent (boot off the ssd as normal) and then create a seperate partition on the hdd of about 30gb, install osx on it, boot from that (with the optical bay back inside), create a thrid partition on the hdd via bootcamp then instal windows?
its just that erasing and reformating the hdd sounds a bit scary, its taken months of getting the permissions and fixing rouge ubd processes all right so everything works perfectly and seamlessly together with the ssd+hdd combo
"You can replace the data back into OS X on the HD and use that as extra storage, but your main use OS X user(s) needs to remain on the boot SSD.
To do this you need to use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the OS X boot partition of the SSD to the blank/empty of data HD, this will copy all the Users accounts accuratly so you can access them from the SSD.
As you can see here, I can access the same user folders of my cloned partition from the original partition, no "-" minus signs on the folders as I'm the exact same user.
I am currently booted into Macintosh HD and accessing my same named user folder on the clone on Macintosh HD 2.
So basically OS X on HD will become your new "Storage Drive"
this is pretty much exactly how im set up at the moment! with the user account and applications on the SSD and libarys like iphoto, itunes etc are on the HDD and i symlinked some others like the downloads off to the hdd aswell.
thanks for your help again, ive given you some more stars for your time!

Installing windows with boot camp

i have a legal windows xp cd with sp2 in good condition and i am trying to install it on the 35gig partition i made with boot camp, however every time the installation gets to 53% during the copying files phase, it cannot copy a certain file and stops. i tried skipping the file in the installation to no avail. i am running out of ideas if anyone knows what might help.

Are you running Leopard or Tiger? This is posted in the Tiger forums. I believe the only version of Boot Camp for Tiger was a beta version for which the license has expired, although [this MacWorld article|http://www.macworld.com/article/61249/2007/11/bootcamp.html] says existing partitions made before the end of the license will continue to work.

Word for Mavericks, PC version with Boot Camp or Mac Office 2011?

I have clients who need work in Word for their PC environment. Pages is great, but doesn't always faithfully convert design to Word. Micro#@&^! isn't my favorite for anything but I'm trying to decide if I should purchase the PC version and run it via Boot Camp or purchase Office for Mac. Any recommendations?

If Microsoft Office is a fundamental tool in your workflow, as it is in mine, then I would recommend MS Office for Mac 2011. That is the easiest way.

Starting Windows with Boot Camp

Forgive my ignorance, I'm new to this. I think this is a simple question. I installed Boot Camp, and when I'm in Windows there's an icon at the bottom that I can click to switch to Mac. But when I'm in Mac how do I switch to Windows? There's nothing on the desktop.

To use Windows in boot-camp you need to go into *System Preferences* and choose *Startup Disk* Choose your Windows partition and click restart. The Mac has to reboot to get to windows.

Can I partition my external hard drive so that one partition is for Time Machine and the other is to install Windows with Boot Camp?

I have a Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex 1TB USB 3.0 external hard drive that I currently use just for Time Machine backups. Is it possible for me to go into Disk Utility and create a new partition on the drive so that I may install Windows 7 via Boot Camp? Or since I am already using it for Time Machine do I have to keep it only for Time Machine?

You must install Boot Camp in your internal drive because Windows can't be installed in an external disk and Boot Camp can't do that

USB ports/drives in windows with boot camp?

Windows (explorer) in Boot Camp does not recognize any usb ports/drives on my new iMAC (mountain Lion). Got the MAC 6 days ago - installed a new windows 7 package using boot camp with the (optional) usb superdrive drive. I have reinstalled (repaired) the windows support software - no change. BTW, after installing windows 7 I downloaded all updates, 140+, my windows, os X, and boot camp are up to date. Any suggestions? Thanks........jam

Did you download and install teh Windows support software which includes all the necessary Windows drivers for your computer?

Graphic problem in Windows with Boot Camp?

I only just noticed this today when I was editing some pictures in Photoshop using Windows (Boot Camp). My version is Windows 8 64-bit and the Photoshop is CS 6 but I suspect the same thing would happen even if I were using Windows 7.
Whenever I view an image in Firefox, Chrome, Windows Picture Viewer or any other program besides Photoshop, the image is always displayed as it is and appears as crisp and sharp as it should. For example, if I load a picture that's 600x600 pixels outside of Photoshop, it would look exactly like it is - at 600x600.
But once I open it in Photoshop, and if it happens to be a very big picture (which it is for me, most of the time), the picture would look resized (i.e. smaller), but the Photoshop navigator would still say it's displayed at 100% magnification. So a 2000x2000 picture would basically look half its real size but still be at a zoom setting of 100% according to Photoshop.
That in itself isn't the problem, but trying to edit/crop the image is. If I were to select a part of the picture and resize it to, say, 100x100 pixels, the final image would be a bit blurry, even if I save it at "most high" quality. That obviously makes my image "un-usable" because the quality is so terrible. This doesn't happen at all on a computer without retina display but on mine it makes the task of editing images in Photoshop frustrating and pointless.
I really think it's an issue with retina display's native resolution not being supported in any version of Windows, so I'm hoping anyone who uses a Macbook Pro RD, Windows AND Photoshop could help me get around this problem.

Did you grab and install the graphic driver from Nvidia?
Apple or even Microsoft driver are not always the best.
Boot Camp 5.0 drivers to start just to enable the various chipsets and basic support.

I see a black screen or distortion when I install Windows 8 on a MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2012). How do I fix this?
The Windows 8 installer does not contain the correct graphics driver for your computer. You'll need to attach the USB media that contains the Boot Camp drivers during installation to address this issue. See this article for more information.

Windows 8, Thunderbolt devices are being recognized when I connect in. How do I fix this?
Disable the Windows 8 Fast Boot feature to allow Thunderbolt devices to be recognized. See Boot Camp: Thunderbolt devices not recognized after Windows 8 upgrade for instructions.

Also with any GTX you may want to see if there is a CUDA driver as well.
Intel HD Graphics 4000
NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 1GB of GDDR5 memory and automatic graphics switching
Dual display and video mirroring: Simultaneously supports full native resolution on the built-in display and up to 2560 by 1600 pixels on up to two external displays, at millions of colors
Also, Intel 4000 graphic driver, switching between Intel HD and Nvidia has been a problem.
From my (now old) notes:
I had problems with windows 7 after the installation using boot camp. The GT 650M was not showing up as the graphics adapter. I fixed the problem by inserting my windows support software CD a second time. I did not let it use auto run. I went into the Windows 7 directory and then into the Nvidia directory and ran setup.exe. This installed the Nvidia drivers for me. If this works correctly, you will have an Nvidia control panel available to you. I set the resolution to 2880x1800. I also set windows to 200% magnification.
I think what happens is that after you install windows, and then run the windows support CD, the main boot camp setup script seems to stop on the nvidia driver install--everything else installed correctly.

Boot Back Into Windows With Boot Camp

Hello,
I am running Boot Camp on a Mac Book Pro. It runs extremely well except for one issue. When the mac goes to sleep for a short time minutes to a few hours, and I click a button, the Windows screen is there ready to use. But, if it sleeps over night, I can not click a button to wake it, I have to click the power button and wait for the boot cycle again holding down the option button so I can choose the Windows drive again. Am I missing something is settings so no matter how long the system sleeps it will wake back into the last running operating system?
Thanks Jr

Check on the hibernate settings by going to the advanced power options as posted by Loner T above. Look under the sleep heading, see pic.
While sleep puts your work and settings in memory and draws a small amount of power, hibernation puts your open documents and programs on your hard disk, and then turns off your computer.
It can be disabled. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/920730

Windows with boot camp

Hello,
I have a friend with a G5 A1144 PowerPC computer. He wishes to install windows to play games. I have searched this site and this forum and haven't been able to find drivers for his mac. I'm assuming bootcamp (he;s running 10.5.x) will help me install windows (as it didn't boot to a ubuntu disc I tried earlier). Is there anywhere I can find those drivers? It cannot be installed on a VM as we need full use of the hardware to play games, and that doesn't happen in virtual machines. Thanks in advance,
enduser

Hi enduser000;
I concur with what tmartine had to say. The only thing I wanted to add is that the only way I know to run Windows on a PowerPC Mac is Virtual PC. That is the good news.
The bad news is that Virtual PC is no longer supported. It is also unbelievably slow. For game playing it will be totally useless.
