Anyone know how to install windows 7 and Lion with more than 1 partition?

Hi guys, hope this is in the right place, it's my first post, I did search the forums but to be honest it's my first mac so half the time I don't understand what I'm reading.
Basically, what I would like is, a partition for mac os, a partition for windows 7 os and a shared partition using say FAT32 so I can use it to store Music, films and other things which will be accessable to both OS's.
However Bootcamp will only let me create 1 partition with Lion, so to bootcamp, it's bootcamp and a mac os partition or nothing.
so any help getting what I want would really be appreciated. I did find some similar articles about the subject but they were all aimed at snow leopard and vista and other windows OS's. I couldn't find one dealing with exactly what I have.
If anyone has the answer to this please remember i'm new to Macs, so please write your answer in a way I can understand.
Thanks to anyone who helps.
I asked this question on macrumours, out of 500 views, not 1 answered

My profile: bookmarks - I added one of someone that did manage, it does take planning.
take a look and good luck, it is not supported or standard but can be done.
NTFS and HFS drivers to write back and forth may be easier and better though.
or 2nd hard drive - and use NTFS along with HFS driver as needed.

Does anyone know how to install Windows 8 on a late 2008 Macbook Pro without a previous copy of Windows 7?

So, I'm trying to do a direct install of Windows 8 on my old Macbook Pro, but my machine isn't officially supported for Windows 8; I get an error message every time I try to use boot camp. I previously had Windows 8 running, but that was because I had upgraded it from Windows 7. Later on I ran into problems because I couldn't update to Windows 8.1 so I ended up deciding to just erase the partition and start over. Since then, unfortunately, I've lost the Windows 7 install disc I used and now it turns out Boot Camp won't help me do the install. Is there a way of manually installing Windows 8? Without the help of Boot Camp? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

CS3 is unsupported under Windows 8. That said, you'll need to contact Adobe
directly for serial number issues.

Unless you've done anything to change it, Google keeps every email that ever passes through their server in your All Mail folder/mailbox/label. Even if you delete stuff, they hold onto it, there. You have to go out of your way to actually delete anything permanently.

Tell my wife that!
This is the best I can do. This way you can use the 2011 MBA way to do things.
Look for the post from @jacktourist. (on page 2 about half way down) This seems to be the easiest.
There are a couple of more similar to this with pictures I've seen around but can't remember where.
Here's another search with added info. It's easier then it sounds.

Does anyone know how I install Microsoft office onto an I Mac or if I even need it.

Does anyone know how I install Microsoft office onto an I Mac or if I even need it.

If you need to write or modify documents made with Word, Excel, or Powerpoint, then you need Office. Otherwise, you don't. If you already have it then installation just involves double-clicking on the Office Installer's icon.
You may want to consider as well:
These two suites are similar to Libre Office but not as current or as well-supported:
NeoOffice
Open Office
And, then there is Apple's iWork suite:
Pages - word processing and layout
Keynote - presentation
Numbers - spreadsheet
Each can open and save Office compatible files. They may be purchased separately via the Mac App Store for $19.99 each.
(Access to the Mac App Store requires Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or higher and an Apple ID.)

Does anyone know how to update OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.1. to 10.8.2. on a late 2012 Mac mini. All I get are 'not compatible' messages even using supplementary updates etc?

Does anyone know how to update OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.1. to 10.8.2. on a late 2012 Mac mini. All I get are 'not compatible' messages even using supplementary updates etc?

It appears that many of the problems with the HDMI are the "monitors" that are being used. Samsung and Vizeo both DO NOT support a computer input on HDMI only VGA. There probably are others, manuals must be read to confirm compatability.
I strongly believe that the reason the 10.8.2 update was pulled is due to the fact (it happened to me) that the new Disk Utility creates a Fusion drive if aftermarket SSDs are added to the system. I think Apple wants this propriatary Fusion Drive to be something you buy from them not a "homebrew" for lots less money.

Does anyone knows how to install Iplanet Messaging Express under iWS 6.0

Does anyone knows how to install Sun One Messaging Express in iWS 6.0?
I have a server which has been installed with iWS 6.0 and another server which installed Iplanet Messaging Server 5.2.
anyone can help me on this?

The Webmail interface for Messaging Server is implemented as its own daemon - it's not a CGI or Servlet that runs through another web server. As such it can not be deployed through Sun ONE Web Server (or any other web server).

The only way to get 10.5 is to purchase it on CD. Such as http://www.amazon.com/Mac-OS-Leopard-10-5-10-51/dp/B0012RAVRC where is being sold for $179.99.
If your optical drive is broken, you will either need to replace it or get an external. There is no other way.
Why do wish to upgrade? As you can see it is going to be expensive, probably more the Mac is worth.

How to program a midi foot controller on Mainstage? Does anyone knows how to program the foot controller with exclusive solo channel in order not to dance "tip tap" while from clean guitar I go to crunch or solo? How to do this programming on Mainstage?

How to program a midi foot controller on Mainstage? Does anyone knows how to program the foot controller with exclusive solo channel in order not to dance "tip tap" while from clean guitar I go to crunch or solo? How to do this programming on Mainstage?
I basically managed to learn how to invert parameters which allows me to be as default in the clean guitar channel and if I switch the first button on the midi foot controller I switch to crunch, but at this point I tryied so hard to programm the second and third button to switch, only through a button in one step, to a third channel for distorsion or a 4th channel for solo guitar but I couldn't figured out how this work can be done!
I would appreciate if anyone could help or share this experience with others who are experiencing the same problem.
Cheers.

I cannot seem to get mainstage to recognize my FCB either. I am using IFCB. Anyone figure this out?
Thanks,

How to install Windows 8.1 with Windows 8 Product key?

I have purchased Upgrade pack from Windows 7 to Windows 8. I have also Updated the OS to windows 8.1 through Store. How to install Windows 8.1 with Windows 8 Product key?

The download link for the Windows 8.1 installer at the Upgrade with Product Key Only does not accept a Windows 8.0 product key. I ended up using the trick suggested by Andre Ziegler in this thread to obtain the 8.1 download independent of the Windows
Store, but I haven't yet checked if the 8.0 key works from 8.1 Setup.
I do IT for a living but I have plenty of family members that bring their notebook PCs to me and ask me to do the heavy lifting, and I'd rather not re-download the same 3.6 GB every single time someone tells me to fix their PC. I also want to be able to
re-install 8.1 from the source media in case of a catastrophic hard disk failure and I have to replace the disk.
As an aside, tools that retrieve product keys for installed products end up retrieving the 8.0 product key from an 8.1 install that was upgraded via the Store. It kind-of makes sense that an 8.0 key could work to install 8.1 because 8.1 is supposed
to be a free upgrade for licensed 8.0 users, but this doesn't seem to work until after 8.1 is successfully installed via some trickery and the user supplies the 8.0 key to activate it.
