Are you using Bootcamp, as stated in your subject line, or are you using Fusion? If using Fusion, Autocad is sharing your computer's resources. If using Bootcamp Autocad is using all the computer's resources. Do as already suggested, run Windows in Bootcamp to make use of all the computer's resources when running Autocad.

Parallel runs slow on Boot Camp partition and other questions...

Hi all,
I have had my MBP santa rosa for about 3 weeks. I love it. Everything is super fast and responsive on this thingy. I have parallel running on Boot Camp partition and it is slow. I mean its not awfully slow but when I click start (the play button of Parallel), I see the spinning beachball for 0.5 to 1 min. When I get to Windows XP or Vista (I tried both of them), there is no way parallel could perform up to "near native" speed, I get a lot of sand-clock and it takes 1 mins or so to boot up MS SQL server 2005. When i tried to open lots of windows at once, it freezes for a while then all the windows pop up. I dedicated 1gb of ram for parallel. I am thinking of removing boot camp and use parallel virtual drive on which to install windows. Would that make the performance any better?
I have another question. I bought Disk Warrior 4 but my lovely cousin broke the disc into half coz he thought it was a cheap toy. Is there anyway I can make another bootable CD for disk warrior? I know BootCD only works on Panther. Can I use SuperDuper to clone my MBP and put the image file on a PC-formated external hard drive to bootup from there to run Disk Warrior?
Thank you so much for your help. I gotta say this MBP is the best laptop I have ever used in my entire life. VEry happy with the purchase so far. Thank you Apple.

p/s: Any recommendation on how to keep the Mac running well without slowing down? Cheers

I have to say, I have never used Parallels in a system with 2GB. I don't feel that it's worth it given Boot Camp is available. That said, if you run nothing else it should run quite happily.
If you're having problems getting through the installation try setting it up with a virtual environment that has no drive. That way you should be able to get through the installation/setup and then you can add your Boot Camp partition after that.
As for transferring files, I will either use Parallels folder sharing else a 1GB DOS formatted USB flash drive.
PS You're right, I certainly can't complain about the equipment I get to play with. I've had to fork out quite a bit of money for the privilege but it's all been worth it.

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!

How do I get Windows XP onto my new mac running lion when boot camp only gives me the option for windows 7

Hi I have been trying to partition my hard drive on my new Mac so that I can run some windows specific programs and I wanted to use Windows Xp because I beleive it to be suitable for my needs + becuase its now an older OS it's cheaper.
My version of Mac is running the Lion operating system and when I start up the boot camp assitant I only get the option to install windows 7. If I proceed and put in the XP installer disc I get a message "Installer disc not found- insert disc and wait a few moments".
The Xp disc is supposed to be a full version- at least thats what the guy who sold it to me claims, anyone any solutions on how to proceed or do I have to buy Windows 7?
Chris

With OSX Lion Apple has removed support for Windows XP and Windows Vista from BootCamp.
That leasves only Windows 7 as a viable option to use.
You can however use Virtualization apps like the free VirtualBox to install and run XP on your Mac.
Commercial ones are Parallels and VMWare Fusion.

Newbie question: Running Parallels from Boot Camp on separate drive

All: I'm new to the Mac world, so bear with me. I'm awaiting arrival of a Mac Pro that has two separate 250GB drives. I plan on running Parallels because there are certain Windows apps that I need to access periodically--but not enough to open up Boot Camp separately. Someone suggested the following, but I need help in figuring out how this works:
+"...install Boot Camp on another internal drive (Since you have 4 drive sleds build into the Mac) and run Parallels from that Boot Camp volume. This way you have a dedicated drive for Windows, so its faster and its not using the boot drive at all. You can boot to it natively if you really need the speed and power for gaming or just use Parallels when your in OS X."+
So in other words, if I already have two drives, I can have my main drive running normal Mac apps, and then if I need to run Windows, I install Parallels and all my Windows apps, along with Boot Camp and Windows XP, on the second drive and use it from there whenever I need to run Windows??

I don't think BootCamp allows an installation on another drive, but Parallels and other software will.
You might repost this in the BootCamp forum where there are many more users running Winders under all kinds of 3rd party software.

Problem running BCUpdate.exe (boot camp 2.1 update)

Just bought a new iMac 20", upgraded from OSX 10.5.4 to 10.5.6 (plus all other s/w upgrades), ran Boot Camp, made a 50GB Windows NTFS partition, installed Win/XP SP3 from the Windows DVD. Booted into WIndows. So far so good.
Under vanilla Windows, I stuck in the Leopard Install DVD and autoran the Boot Camp drivers install. It crashed half-way through with the blue screen of death (flashed up for only 1 sec), and then the machine automatically rebooted. Now it will no longer boot normally into Windows, it gets halfway and then repeats the crash & reboot scenario over & over.
So, I reinstalled all of Windows (again!), but instead of using the Leopard Install DVD, I tried to run the Boot Camp 2.1 Update package, BCUpdate.exe. However, when I double click on the package in Windows, nothing happens. I right-click -> Open, and it doesn't run. Run as... Administrator, it doesn't run. Safe Mode won't let me run it either. The checksum of the file is correct. I don't get it.
What am I doing wrong???

Hmm, for that to work, I would need hardwired Internet access. All I have is wireless, but Windows doesn't see the Broadcom card, so I can't go the online Apple S/W update route.
So, I'm still stuck. Maybe there's some way I can make an autorun CD or something out of the BCUpdate.exe file...?

Please help...better to run PC Games, Boot Camp or Parallels?

Any assistance would be appreciated.

definitely boot camp. you have a more direct path to the hardware, which will improve performance vs. parallels, where you're essentially running some virtual hardware over the top of OS X.

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.

Given the circumstances I agree taking it to an Apple Store might be the best way to address the problems with it. Manually eradicating all the software contributing to its unacceptable performance will be time-consuming and tedious. If it were mine there is no question I'd erase it and reconfigure it from the ground up. That would be less time-consuming and more likely to be successful, but it's also tedious.
And I do agree with a previous respondent that he could use some more RAM.
So do I. 2 GB is the absolute minimum for Yosemite to even run, and it won't run well with that little. That Mac can address as much as 6 GB, which would probably be acceptable if you were to reconfigure it and leave out the garbage software causing and / or contributing to poor performance.
Lastly, you have to evaluate how much time and money you are willing to spend on a Mac that's nearly eight years old. Age itself doesn't kill Macs, but eight years is about as much economic life that can be expected from any computer. Among the limitations that cannot be overcome are its Core 2 Duo CPU and RAM. Even 6 GB memory isn't all that much any more.
Having said that, even a brand new fully configured top of the line Mac Pro would run poorly, if at all, given the software that's on your Dad's Mac. Intego, Norton/Symantec, MacKeeper, Cocktail... all that stuff is utter garbage and there is too much of it to mention. Personal testing of Intego alone on a brand new Mac containing nothing other than one minimally configured user account resulted in performance degradation so extreme no knowledgeable Mac user would consider it acceptable.
For reference, here is the procedure I would recommend:
Back up your Mac if you have not already done so. To learn how to do that read Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac. You will need a suitable external hard disk drive for this purpose. One with adequate capacity can be purchased for about $60.
The recovery procedure will require that you erase the Mac using OS X Recovery, and then create a new user whose contents will be empty. You will then be able to use Setup Assistant to migrate your essential documents including photos, music, work products and other essential files.
When doing so, select only your previous User account and do not select "Applications", "Computer and Network Settings" or "Other files and folders". De-select those choices.
Subsequent to using Setup Assistant, you will need to reinstall the essential software you may require, once again remembering to install software only from their original sources, and omitting all non-essential software.
Always obtain software from authorized sources such as the Mac App Store, original installation media (CD or DVD), or from the developer's authorized download source. Never obtain software from download aggregator websites such as C net dot com, Mac Update dot com, Soft onic dot com, random popups that may appear while browsing the Internet, or other sources that primarily rely upon junk product advertisements for their revenue. Such sites are not to be trusted, and are the most common means of distributing adware or other junk you probably do not want.
To erase and install Yosemite read: OS X Yosemite: Erase and reinstall OS X
To migrate your essential documents read: OS X Yosemite: Transfer your info from a computer or storage device and follow the procedure under Transfer info from a Time Machine backup or other storage device.

MacBook late 2007 runs slow

My MacBook (late 2007, OS 10.6.8) seems to be running more slowly lately. Its especially noticeable when it's runs Safari (currently v5.1. but the macbook and Safari ran slow even before latest software update. I've freed more disk space by deleting unneeded large files. Any other suggestions?

Download Onyx (Google will find it) and run through its all the options of its first three procedures: Verify, Maintenance and Cleaning. Take note of any error messages and reboot when finished.
Let us know if things improve or not.

Can the illuminated keyboard be activated on the Mac Book Pro while running windows in boot camp?

Illuminated ket board only works when in OS 10. When switched to windows 7 it will nit light. How do I get it on?

Invalid B-tree node size
Volume check failed.
I'll expand on the last post a little.
Disk Utility cannot repair that error.
If Disk Utility can't fix it, you'll need a more robust utility for the repair. I would recommend DiskWarrior. It is the best at directory repairs. It rebuilds then actually replaces your old directory. I feel every Mac owner should have a copy. Make sure you get the disk so you can boot up on it to run repairs. You can also install it on another drive and run it from there to repair this one. DW works faster that way.
I use DW once a month to try and catch errors in my system from getting too far out of hand. It has repaired every little and big issue I have ever had with my three Macs.
If you have a good backup, hopefully a clone of your system before you had issues, an Erase and Install will also rid you of this issue. But, beware! You will lose everything on the drive with this procedure. Let us know if you need help with that!
Good Luck! DALE
p.s. Here's a rewiew of DiskWarrior 4.

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)

Printing to pdf when running Windows in Boot Camp

I have reluctantly installed Windows 7 on my Macbook Air (1.7 GHz, Core i5, 4 GB, OS 10.8.2). I run a simulation program which produces a report for printout. I would like to have the option of printing to pdf so that I can select pages for printing, change print quality and print additional copies of selected pages from the report.
The software developer advises using PrimoPDF. Is it possible to select this as the default printer in Windows so that the program prints to PrimoPDF automatically?

cute pdf for windows is free and acts as a printer and when printed to creates an pdf file

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.)

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.
