ARD issues - MacBook Pro to partitioned MacBook (running Windows)

I really have read all I can before making this posting - so apologies if this issue has been addressed before.
Goal - to allow MacBook Pro (OS X 10.4.9) to observe and control Windows running on a partitioned MacBook.
Issue - I can observe and control the MacBook when it is in Mac mode, but when the MacBook is in Windows mode, just can't get the connection. I have installed VNC onto Windows, I have opened both ports 5900 and 3283.
When I view the MacBook in Windows mode I can see the computer and it's status is "VNC ON" - but still no connection. I have even removed the firewall completely - but still no luck.
Any suggestions are welcomed.

Have you tried a different VNC client? Some work and some don't, it seems, particularly when dealing with Intel-based Macs. I believe most people who have success are using RealVNC, but if you search for "VNC" in this forum, you should find reports of what works and what doesn't.

My MacBook Pro 13" (2012) is running Windows 7 on Bootcamp and there is an issue with the headset I'm using.

My MacBook Pro 13" (2012) is running Windows 7 on Bootcamp and there is an issue with the headset I'm using. I use a cheap Logitech Stereo Headset H130, but since there is only on audio plugin on the computer, I purchased a 3.5 mm 4-pin smartphone audio adapter thingy. That allowed me to put both my the sound coming to my headset & the microphone on my headset onto one wire. Everything worked wonderfully when running the Mac OS since they probably have support for that kind of stuff. The problem is though that once I try to use the same method in Windows 7, the OS doesn't recognize my headset microphone at all, but, instead when recording my voice decides to use the built-in mac microphone. Using this adapter still allows me to hear from my headset, but not use the microphone and that becomes a problem. It might be so that Windows 7 doesn't have support\drivers for that... How should I continue from here on out? Any advice?

From what I have read from others on here you may be out of luck. You would need the appropriate Windows drivers for the Cirrus chip in the Mac and no one has been able to successfully locate them. Apple wouldn't support this since Windows is an optional install.
Sorry to bring the bad news.

I made a windows partition on my mac but now i cant swap back to the mac part so is there any way that i can delete the windows partition whilst running windows 7 so i can go back to the mac part

i made a windows partition on my mac but now i cant swap back to the mac part so is there any way that i can delete the windows partition whilst running windows 7 so i can go back to the mac part

You are telling us you read and tried the normal methods?
Boot Camp or Taskbar. Option on restart. "x" on startup. And none of those work.

How many fans does a macbook pro have if it runs windows 7 and Mac OS X

i just recieved my mac for christmas it runs great! it runs Mac OS X but also i can run windows 7 operating system... anyway i downloaded a fan control app to try to keep it cooler and it shows that one of my fans isnt spinning is this a broken fan or normal with 2 OS?

Hello,
I did so and it shows up one FAN. Now how can i know from your anwser if it only has one or it has two and one of them is broke and not showing up ... .
I found the answer by the way on youtube and the manual shows a a diagram of the inside (not mentioned though):
I thought I would share it with everybody: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T161ICl3mDM
This info would have been handy on the system info data sheet.

Use external monitor w/ Macbook running Windows in Boot Camp?

Within the Mac OS, I close the lid to my Macbook and then hit the spacebar to then use an external 20" monitor. When running Windows within Bootcamp, I shut the lid of the Macbook, but cannot get the external monitor to show an image. How can I get my external monitor to work when using Windows XP within Bootcamp, once I shut the lid to the Macbook?

Hi,
As far as I know, while on Windows XP you have to do it "the microsoft" way! To switch displays, just press Fn + F7 until the image shows at the tv.. tell me if it worked (imho this way better than the "close the lid and touch the external mouse" trick)

Confused about Parallels vs. Partitioning to Run Windows on New iMac

I need to buy a new iMac for work, where currently its a PC environment. The only thing I really need to continue to run is Quickbooks, which I must use the PC version as we run payroll in house and want to remain compatible with all our global accountants.
While I've used Macs exclusively at home, I've never messed with partitioning. I was under the impression that I would create a partition and install Windows 7 and a copy of our Quickbooks and then would have to sign in and out between partitions to run Quickbooks...effectively signing in and out of 2 different computer systems (as if I had 2 different computers).
I am confused as to whether I need Parallels (which I have also never worked with). Is this needed to work in the 2nd PC partition? or is Parallels something that I can run on my new Mac in the Mac environment and run Windows 7 & Quickbooks without having to log in and out and/or keep rebooting to go back and forth?
Any insight is appreciated.
Thanks!

Parallels is a program like any other. You create virtual hard drives on your current hard drive that it uses to store the Windows installation. It is just like creating a disk image on your hard drive. To the computer, it looks and acts like a hard drive, but it is cut out of space on your hard drive. To your Mac, it is just a single file.
Search the internet for "virtualization." Or, look on the Parallels/VM Ware websites for how it all works.
Because the OS sees the Virtual Disk as a single file, if you go into Windows and add a transaction, that whole file changed, not just the single transaction.
Time Machine* "listens" for changes in files. When it detects that a file changed, it backs up the entire file. It doesn't go in and back up the part of the file that changed.
If you could break that virtual disk image into tiny slices, then Time Machine would only see one of the tiny slices change instead of the entire virtual disk. Apple uses that concept in what it calls a Sparse Bundle Disk Image. Database systems use the same method. The "slices" are called stripes. So, to be Time Machine-aware, the developers would have to store large amounts of data in a sparse bundle disk image so that Time Machine only sees when one of the stripes changes and just backs up that stripe.
I don't know whether Parallels or VMWare use Sparse Bundles for their virtual disks. If they do, then you could back them up efficiently with Time Machine. If they don't, it would be better to use something like Carbon Copy Cloner to just back up the Virtual Disk Image periodically (it can be scheduled).
It is a combination of both. To make Time Machine fast, it doesn't look inside each file to determine what has changed. It just looks to see if the file changed, and then it backs up the whole file. Because of that, software engineers need to take advantage of Sparse Bundles if they intend to store large amounts of data the user might want to back up. I don't know what the tradeoffs are in using a Sparse Bundle vs writing straight to disk.
*It is actually a process called fsevents (file system events) that watches and logs every change to the file system. Time Machine uses that database to determine what needs to be backed up.
P.S. You seem fixated on Parallels. There are two other options, VMWare and VirtualBox. For what you need to use Windows for, I would use VirtualBox. It is free and will work just fine. They have done a very good job keeping up with OS X updates and upgrades.
For any of them, you will need a copy of Windows to install on the Virtual Machine.

I have a macbook pro running 10.5.8 The drive is partitioned to run windows 7 I need to decrease the size of the Mac side and increase the size of the windows side? I cn't remember how to access the drive to reallocate the resources

Hello,
I would like to know how to change the partitioned drive on my mac to give more resources to the windows side of the machine?
i have one other little problem, If I am running the windows side of the machine the mac book's internat speakers produce no sound, but if the content is streamed to my TV the audio id there and working right.When you look in the jack on the side of the computeryou see a red light shinig through itand the speaker icon tells me that the speaker output is at 100% even though there is no sound coming out of the internal speakers.
Thank you all in advance for sny help
JTN

To change the partitions on your MBP, go to DISK UTILITY>PARTITION and follow the instructions.
Regarding your sound issue, the red light in the audio output port indicates that the switch is set to provide audio to earphones and the internal speakers are disconnected. To alleviate the problem try a repeated insertion of the earphone jack. If that does not get the internal speakers functioning, the get a cocktail stirrer or tooth pick and jiggle it inside. If still no success, the Apple store.
Ciao.

CS6 Master Collection on Macbook running Windows 8.1 in Parallels

Hi
I have a licensed Windows version of Adobe CS6 Master Collection which runs happily on my Windows 7 PC. I have recently purchased a Macbook Pro Retina (latest model, 16GB RAM, 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7 processor, OS X 10.9.2), and have installed the Windows 8.1 OS as a Parallels 9 virtual machine.
The CS6 Master Collection installed OK, applied all software updates OK, completed online activation OK, all programmes launch OK.
BUT... when I run any of the CS6 applications, I get prompted to sign in to Adobe to register the product. When I enter the correct Adobe ID and password, I am advised that the ID and password do not match, and that my software will no longer work after seven days (now down to five days).
I know that the ID and password are correct, as I can log in to my Adobe account through a web browser using the same credentials.
The CS6 software IS registered already. I registered it immediately after first purchasing it on 18-May-2012.
I had a LONG online chat session with Adobe Support about this issue. They confirmed all of the above, but eventually said that they won't support installation of Master Suite CS6 on a virtual PC, and suggested I try here on the Adobe Communities Forum. So here I am.
Has anyone else encountered this problem with registering CS6 s/w under Parallels 9? Any solutions or suggestions?

Hi Bob. Yes, the serial number was entered and accepted, in the activation process during installation. It's only when I open any of the CS6 programmes that I get advised to register the product, and am prompted for my Adobe ID and password.
I even tried changing my Adobe password. The new password works fine to log in through a web browser - but won't log me in through the in-app dialogue. I'm tearing my hair out trying to work out how to get around this before my seven day limit expires.

Overheating MacBook running Windows XP with CAD program

Every time I run the Autosketch program with Windows XP, the laptop overheats and the fan becomes extremely noisy. The over heating occurs only when in Windows.
What can I do to overcome this problem?
Thanks for your assistance.

welcome to windoze.
you'll have to contact the software vendor, it's their app doing it, must be running the CPU / GPU pretty hard. My guess is that the fix is probably a desktop machine with good power & cooling.
tho a good machine, macbook is a consumer oriented machine that wasn't designed to run pro CAD software.

Macbook running Windows 7 - How do I revert?

Alright, so I'll just tell you the story from the beginning. My neighbor got a new computer, so she decided to give me her old Macbook. I decided to install Windows 7 on there because I am more comfortable with Windows than Mac. Unfortunately, I didn't research at all, so I didn't realize all the problems I would have by installing the operating system without using a bootcamp. These problems include;
No audio output
Certain buttons on the keyboard not working (such as the control and option keys)
Disk eject not working
So, because of all of these things, I want to get the Mac operating system back on here. Can someone guide me through this?

Did you get restore DVD with the Mac?

Is the current MacBook more reliable running Windows than a MacBook Pro?

I have a newish Santa Rosa/Penryn based MacBook Pro. Unfortunately, I have to run some apps under Windows and am running XP most of the time. However, the MacBook Pro has proven to be a poor choice for this. I get a Windows Blue Screens of Death on a frequent basis (more frequent than I ever seen on any non-Apple notebook). Burning DVDs take almost 30 minutes now (it used to take 10 minutes). The wifi drops constantly. Audio glitches most of the time. It is really frustrating and has only gotten worse with time and updated drivers.
I have a MacBook for work that I run MacOS (and the OS from my employer) on and it seems to work more nicely that my MacBook Pro.
Does the MacBook run Windows XP more reliably that the MacBook Pro?

In this context, I think Kappy was suggesting that "defective" meant that your
XP had either not installed correctly or the installation had become corrupted.
I know it's a complete pain and would waste at least a day, but I'd be tempted
to reformat the Boot Camp partition and try installing again from the Win XP CD.
The BSOD issue with the MBP has been present since early on and reported by others as well. The problem is with the Apple supplied driver(s). (I have run diagnostic tools that point to the wifi driver being part of the problem, but not the entire problem. I suspect that there might also be an issue with the touchpad driver, but I haven't run any tests to verify that.) I just don't get the sense that Apple has much motivation to fix the problem(s). The nature of the BSOD problem (as reported by the BSOD) is something that could lead to the other problems that I have observed.
I have had my MBP for a few months with no sign from Apple that the issue is being addressed. The MBP is a great machine, but unless someone ports all of the apps that I need to MacOS X, I need to run Windows better than it does.
So, any more reports on how well XP runs on a MacBook?

I have a new Macbook pro and need to run some Windows software, it appears "Parallel" should work well from what I've have read. Will I have any issues or problems accessing and printing from various printers on my Windows 7 network within Parallel?

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
Reset the System Management Controller.
If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.

Can I partition an external hard drive to run windows games on my Macbook Pro

I want to play windows games on steam but I am not sure if I want to partition my Macbooks hard drive. I heard you could partition external hard drives but didn't know if you could run games on that external hard drive. I have a lot of files on my computer and don't want to take time to move my files to the external hard drive, so can I buy the external hard drive and then partition it to run window games or do I have to partition my actual default hard drive?

Hi! If your macbook doesn't have a cd drive you need to have Windows 7 but an ISO image, you can't just copy the contents of the copy into a USB and expect it to work. There are many tutorials on internet on how to obtain an ISO image from an installation disc, for example: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/software-tools/a/create-iso-image-file.htm As for "just download Windows 7" (i suppose you mean free download) this is not the right place to ask, believe me. Try searching Windows 7 ISO on google, but be careful with what you download and form where, also you are going to download the Windows drivers from the Bootcamp program, try reading this manual to give yourself a better idea: http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1636/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_ 10.8.pdf

MacBook Pro running Windows XP with Snow Leopard 10.6.8

When I got a MacBook Pro in 2006 I gave a small partition to my husband so he could log into his computer at the office. I used Boot Camp and an OEM WIndows XP disk. Everything ran smoothly for 5 years... last week he started having problems with windows and after doing some diagnostics and deletions we were able to get the system up and running.
I have recently gotten a newer MacBook Pro and decided I should wipe the old one clean, give him a larger partition and reinstall everything. SO... I downloaded lion wiped the drive clean and reinstalled system software. Opened up Boot Camp clicked download Windows support software got an error. After searching support found that Lion doesn't support XP... His company still uses XP and he's not that computer Savvy so it makes sense to keep him with what he's familiar with (plus who wants to buy another windosOS)... SO I decided to reinstall the original disk of Snow Leopard, re partitioned the drive loaded XP, used the Windows installer disk I originally made with the Boot Camp beta version I downloaded 5+ years ago and everything was hunky dory... till this morning when I logged on to his system to do further installs and it says that hardware changes had been made and that WIndows needed to be "reactivated" click here... so I do and find the internet connection was missing (?) Works fine on the mac so it's a windows issue.
So I put in the windows xp disk to see if I can reinstall the OS and get an error "no boot disc"... I just decided to start over but am wondering if I made a mistake using the "mac windows installers" disk I made years ago. I go on to support and tried to download a newer version of the installers and it wants to give me an older version of Boot Camp.(am now thinking I might have had regular leopard when I first set up the initial partition/install for Windows)
I realize this is all long winded and maybe somewhat confusing. Bottom line is... I have a macbook pro that I need to install Windows XP on. Am I on the right track (planning to reinstall the XP disk but NOT repartition, etc.) Should I go back to Leopard? Should I erase the partition and start over? is there more updated Windows drivers I should be using??? SHould I bite the big one and buy Windows 7 and go forward from there?

Ok, that's what I have done... I have Snow Leopard Installed, 10.8.6 and it's got Boot Camp 3.0.4... my questionis the Mac Windows Install Drivers you add after installing Windows. Windows looks terribly awkward and I'm guessing it has something to do with the ATI graphics card sofware the mac disk installed. Is is ok to use the one I created years ago? I can't seem to find a place to create a new one using the 10.8.6 and 3.0.4.
When I orignially installed Boot Camp you had to create a disk using Boot Camp that you installed in Windows after the initial OS installation.
