Anyone using bootcamp and Vista on there new Imac
Just curious how it runs. Nice to have both worlds.

You can't install an OS version that is earlier than the OS that comes pre-installed on the Mac. However, you should be able to run your old PPC apps by installing Rosetta (part of the OS X install, if you want it). I happily ran all my PPC AdobeCS apps this way, although the Mac came with OS X Snow Leopard installed.

Has anyone downloaded Yosemite and found that there are no ore scroll bars? I have to move the window (of any window, Skype window, browser window etc.) in order to find the scroll bar and then it disappears so fast I can't even use it.
Not sure why that was unchecked but good to know!
Apple's new default (since at least a couple of OS releases back) is to have it off so OS X matches the behavior of an iPhone or iPad.
I almost never need a scroll bar, and when I do, I just move over to the edge of the window when scrolling and a larger scroll bar appears.
Yes, for the most part, users don't really need the scroll bar. That's what the scroll wheel on almost all mice is for. Saves the trip over to bar to physically grab and move it. But, I do like it on all the time regardless. That way (especially with a long article) I can just take a quick glance over to the bar to see about where I am on the page (a third of the way down? halfway?). Otherwise, I have to move the page just to make it appear to give me the same information. -
Has anyone used bootcamp to play PC games? If so, do the games run well and without lag?
I want to use bootcamp to install windows on my Macbook Pro (Early 2011). It runs Mac games well but I am afraid it will slow down my computer once I install Windows 7.
Won't slow your Mac down if you use Bootcamp, Windows installs on a partition on the slower 50% of the boot hard drive from the bottom up, however that shouldn't affect PC game performance all that much, only when loading data it might not be as fast as it can be. Likely hardly noticable really.
OS X might feel a bit more snappy as it loads from the faster top 50% of the boot drive.
If you have a SSD then it doesn't matter about the drive performance.
Outside of that Windows will run on the CPU and dedicated video card just about the same, as since OS X and Windows are in seperate parittons they boot seperatly and thus have full control of the hardware.
Now if you also install virtual machine software like Parallels or VMFusion that can copy the BootCamp partiton to use Windows in a window in OS X, and you run other programs in OS X and Windows/programs at the same time, that could slow down your Mac as it's running two operating systems and several programs at the same time.
A powerful Mac, a recent 15" or better should have no problem, as long as there is 4GB of RAM or more. However for best 3D game performance it's better to direct boot into Bootcamp to let Window shave full hardware control and Direct X drives.
Virtual machine software uses the OS X OpenGl drivers, so any program in there will have to use Open GL drivers.
The 13" is better off using Bootcamp and direct booting, it won't be good at games anyway as it doesn't have a more powerful dedicated video card.
Ideally Windows 3D games should be played on a dedicated Windows 3D gaming tower, this way the video cards can be exchanged for newer ones which on the Mac you can't.
If you intent ot Windows #3D game, go that route and don't bother with gaming on a Mac as you can't upgrade the hardware. (or get video cards for the MacPro if sticks around, it hasn't been updated in ages)

Windows in BootCamp or Virtual Machine? -
Dear Apple. I have just installed Windows 7 64-bit full version Home Premium using Bootcamp and cannot get access to the internet. I installed on a Macbook Air Mid 2012 with Mountain Lion. Are there some drivers that are missing from the Windows 7 bootcamp install download from Apple
It is a Total Misconception that the Support files are installed when you are installing Windows, even if the USB drive that holds them is inserted in the system when doing the Windows install.
You must always Run the Setup.exe files from the support files or run the drivers individually once Windows has finished installing and booted to the desktop.
Also you really need to run the Boot Camp Control Panel Applet and check for updates as not all the newest drivers for full function of all the hardware is included with the original support download. That download is basically a generic version to get the system working and without doing the updates not everything will work properly. -
hi,
i wanted to resize my windows partition. I was thinking of using the default backup system for windows. Then switching to mac partion, deleting the bootcamp and then restoring a new enlarged partition from the backup. Is this possible?I see youhave gotten recommendatons for using WinClone or CampTune. I have used both and they both work well.
You have asked about using the WIndows 7 utility to backup your drive and restor it onto a larger partition. I will tell you fro experience that this will probably not do what you want, and may do something that you don't want. You can use the Windows 7 native backup tool to make a backup of your Windows 7 partition. It will most liekly end-up making a dive image of the whole drive. When yourestore that backup, it will try to re-create teh partitions of exactly the same size as they were when the backup was taken, so it won't increase your partition size for you. Worse, since Windows doesn't natively know how to read./write HFS+ volumes, the backup will make a partition for your MacOS (replacing any you may have now), except that the copy restored by WIndows will be totally worthless, and you will not be able to boot MacOS from it, or even read it under MacOS.
Now I will tell you that I've also had some fairly good success working with the free tool CloneZilla. Since it hasn't been mentioned yet, and everything else mentioned does cost you money, I thought I would throw it out. CloneZilla is not as easy to use as the tools mentioned, but it has worked for me int hte past, so it is something to consider. I tend to use CampTune myself, but that was because I purchased a bundle deal for them and it was included in that deal. -
I allocated too much space on the Windows side when using bootcamp and want to take some space back for the Mac side is there any easy way to do this?
Purchase and use Paragon Camp Tune

How do I install windows 7 on a macbook pro mid 2009 using bootcamp and no optical drive?
How do I install windows 7 on a macbook pro mid 2009 using bootcamp and no optical drive?
My optical drive is non-functional and I want to dual boot with win7. The only problem is my macbook does not boot from USB at all, even when I hold th ALT key down when it is starting up.
-I have a flashdrive with win7 on it.
-I mounted the ISO of win7 with toast for bootcamp to do its thing.Good luck.
Consider this a bump so that hopefully someone with better news spots your thread.

i recently tried to remove widows7 on my macbook air using bootcamp and halfway through it grayed out .The windows 7 is removed but i cant free up the 62gig partition the windows was occupying on my 121gig ssd harddrive please help
You may have to see about using the Recovery HD partition to attempt to erase and restore useful function of the capacity lost to the former Windows installation.
And you may have to backup your contents outside the computer to do it. Disk Utility on the Mac OS X historically has not been able to touch a BootCamp created partition; so if BootCamp cannot remove it, then you have to see how to do the equivalent of a reformat of the entire drive (less Recovery partition?) then reinstall your OS X. Maybe from internet recovery, then get your applications, etc from the Mac App store, etc.
A complete system clone of your OS X on an external HDD would be another method to restore after reformat, of the portion you want whole again, not necessarily the space where Recovery may live.
There may be (an)other way(s).
Perhaps someone with recent experience
in this matter can reply & discuss options.
With my antiques, they almost know what I want before I tell them.
Hopefully yours will after you talk to it awhile.
Good luck & happy computing! -
T4i... lousy SD video... has anyone used SD and had final edit look ok. on timeline its a disaster.
T4i... lousy SD video... has anyone used SD and had final edit look ok. on timeline its a disaster. cell phone does better video.. im a pro video type and at this point may return cam and wait for a more capable eos.. like a mirrorless 60d...
Speedorms,
I would like to help determine what is causing this.
What exactly are you seeing that is poor quality in the video from your EOS Rebel T4i?
What are you using to edit your video?
What settings are you using to edit the video?
When you refer to SD, are you referring to the card in the camera or Standard Definition video?
If you prefer a mirrorless design, we do have the new EOS M. You may want to take a look at that model to see if it has the features you are looking for.
If this is a time sensitive-matter, additional support options are available at Contact Us.

Anyone using openstreetmap and mapviewer/mapbuilder to create maps
anyone using openstreetmap and mapviewer/mapbuilder to create maps?
Ok, I do exactly as you specify here. In addition I import the needed jars from the import folder of j2mepolish. Also, I put the resources folder from the polish sample (MenuMidlet) in the project, and all marked errors disappears.
Then I try to run it as an Ant build, and get the following error:
BUILD FAILED
D:\Program Files\eclipse31\j2me\sample\build.xml:115: The MIDlet [source.src.de.enough.polish.example.MenuMidlet] could not be found. Check your <midlet>-setting in the file [build.xml] or adjust the [sourceDir] attribute of the <build>-element.The MIDlet should be in D:\Program Files\eclipse31\j2me\sample\source\src\source\src\de\enough\polish\example\MenuMidlet.java
Ok - so it seems that it for some reason gets "source\src" two times. So I go back to the <midlet class and remove the source.src, leaving just de.enough.polish.example.
Then I run as Ant again, and it compiles successfully.
However, when I try to run the MenuMidlet class as a j2me midlet (in eclipse) it starts, and then crash with this error:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: de/enough/polish/util/Locale
at source.src.de.enough.polish.example.MenuMidlet.<init>(+11)
at java.lang.Class.runCustomCode(+0)
at com.sun.midp.midlet.MIDletState.createMIDlet(+19)
at com.sun.midp.midlet.Scheduler.schedule(+52)
at com.sun.midp.main.Main.runLocalClass(+28)
at com.sun.midp.main.Main.main(+116)
So - seemingly - to compile it I need to give it one address, but for the midlet to run it must be compiled with an address that won't let it compile :-)
Well - then I create a J2ME package from the project, and run the deployed/sample.jad file. Then the midlet actually starts, but when I click Launch, the display shows:
New Midlet de.enough.polish.ui.MenuBar Exception: java.lang.classNotFoundException: de/enough/polish/ui/MenuBar
I can't find a reference to MenuBar anywhere in the sample code. -
How do I get messages to go back to an AIM account? It's only seeing the iPad's Facetime email address and not seeing the old AIM account name that is on my desktop. I am using my iMac using iChat to talk to a newer iMac that doesn't have iChat. We had this working using Messages and Facetime (on the new machine) talking to my existing iChat account. One day last week, when Facetime rang, my kids answered on the iPad. Dang! Now it's all fouled up! The new iMac won't see my AIM account name and shows that I'm offline, because the iPad is off. We were able to call using "most recent call" in Facetime, but now I can't go and control that new iMac remotely to help with some email concerns the user is having. I'm trying to not personalize this too much, but it's grandkids talking to Grandma and Mom and Dad trying to solve new machine hiccups. Normally, I could just go in via iChat and control the other machine and troubleshoot, but I can't do it with Facetime only. My buddy list doesn't see the other computer even though we are connected on Facetime right now. My name is not highlighted for the other computer. What could have gone so wrong?

I am going to buy a mac mini i7 with 3 thunderbolt displays for forex trading. the question is if i use bootcamp and run windows on the mac mini will the displays still run the same way as if i was running it on Lion?
No idea if Windows will do it, but you can run Windows without Bootcamp & have OSX available at the same time, which should give you all the Monitors that OSX uses.

If it's showing the connect to iTunes screen then you will need to do that.
But Apple don't provide any method to update the first gen iPad to iOS 5 (nor do they support downgrading the iOS version). -
