Bootcamp with Windows Vista

Does installing bootcamp with Windows Vista significantly slow down a mac with a noticeable difference? I have a pretty new mac and am thinking about using this function. Does it make more sense to install windows xp? And what is a good amount of space to leave for the windows side to have?

Does installing bootcamp with Windows Vista significantly >slow down a mac with a noticeable difference?
What do you mean by this? Slows down the whole system? Or the performance of windows?; since you mentioned XP on your later question.
I have tried both windows (vista & xp) on a macbook, and for performance, xp is faster.
as for the whole system (macosX & windows) no diffrence in boot up and speed
as for partition size of windows... that would depend on you whether your mp3, pics, videos would be used on windows or mac... mine is 20gb with no problem

Bootcamp with Windows 7 won't start with upgraded RAM

Hello!
I upgraded my RAM from 4Gb to 8Gb.
OS X works fine but bootcamp with Windows 7 Ultimate x64 wont start. The screen goes black and white cursor is blinking at the top left corner. I have waited several minutes but nothing happens.
When I remove the ram I just installed, Windows 7 will start normally.

Are there any other options here? This is quite frustrating. I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit on my Bootcamp, and upgraded my RAM from 4GB to 8GB (bought Crucial RAM, which should be completely compatible). When I try to boot Windows, I get the blinking cursor hung. This is the ONLY thread I have been able to find that relates directly to this issue. I started to re-install Windows from the bootable install disc, but that tells me it will re-install Windows, and save all the old data in a volume called "Windows.old" and that I can access this data but "will not be able to use my old version of Windows." Maybe that's OK. Since I use my Windows partition exclusively for gaming and 3D sculpture work, I am pretty sure I can just pull all the appropriate data and re-install it in the new version of Windows. But I am leery of going through all this after reading the tale of woe told here that says that even re-installing with 8 GB RAM fresh does not work. Does anyone know of any other resources or options here? I can't even get to "Safe" mode - just a black screen and the blinking cursor.....arrrrgh! Any help greatly appreciated!

Bootcamp With Windows 8.1 Virtualization Issues On Start

Hi All
Ive just purchased a new 13 inch MBP Retina with 8GB Ram
I am a Microsoft Developer, specialising in mobile, so I installed Windows 8.1 on bootcamp, and am using windows this way 2/3rd of the time (I also use my MBP for OSX a third of the time)
When I go into Mac system preferences and restart as bootcamp, my Mac restarts in Windows with virtualization enabled, which is essential as I am running Visual Studio's dev tools including Windows Phone Emulators.
If I've booted into Windows via bootcamp (virtualization is enabled) and then do a restart in Windows, the virtualization is still enabled - great!
However, if I hibernate my Mac while in Windows, or shutdown windows (which is a form of OS hibernation with Windows 8), and then restart, the virtualization is disabled, and my emulators will no longer spin up.
I have tried restarting windows via the bootcamp control panel in Windows, but that doesnt fix it.
The only way to get windows running with virtualization on is to boot into windows via the bootcamp option in Mac preferences - EVERY TIME, so I am stuck with doing the following every time I want to use my mac for windows development:
1) startup in windows
2) Using Bootcamp control panel restart OSX
3) In mac system preferences retart Bootcamp
4) start Visual Studio and emulators
Surely there must be a way of getting this to work seemlessly

Folks,
If you scratch beneath the shallow Apple support surface, you'll find out that this issue has been around since 2008 (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=821551).
There's nothing wrong with Windows, and your hardware (Intel CPU that is) support virtualization. What Apple support doesn't tell you is that engineering has a bug with firmware that causes this. There's also a well known workaround, painful but workaround (http://apple.stackexchange.com/a/122071/106730).
What infuriates me is the fact that
1. Apple support deceives and send people away by claiming there's nothing wrong (read "lies")
2. Engineering knows about it and does very little to address it properly moving forward (read "ignores")
3. Consumers that just accept this as-is because it's Apple (read "stupidity")
I'm vocal about it because it is unbelievable. It's 2014 outside, and Apple neither has a basic support tracking mechanism nor is transparent about what it's doing when providing support.

No WiFi when in Bootcamp with Windows 7

I have a MBP running Yosemite with Bootcamp running Windows 7 installed. My problem is that no matter how many wifi drivers I try in Windows I cannot get the wireless card to pull up any networks. It works fine in OS X - sees all networks and connects with a strong signal.
But when I switch to Windows here's what happens:
I can see the wifi bars down in the system tray but when I highlight and click it nothing pops up... When I hover the cursor over the bars it highlights and when I click it, the symbol depresses like its being pressed but no network list pops up at all... Anyone know what I'm doing wrong here? I'm thinking it might be a compatibility issue between Yosemite and Bootcamp/Windows 7? I have downloaded and installed the latest bootcamp wifi drivers and still no go... Any help is greatly appreciated.

Based on Boot Camp: System requirements for Microsoft Windows operating systems - Apple Support the drivers for your MBP are Boot Camp Support Software 5.1.5621. Using the Bootcamp.xml file in the package, the version number is 5.106.199.1, but your screen shot shows 6.30.223.215.

One option you can try is to uninstall the current driver and reboot and ensure that the WiFi adapter shows up in 'Other Devices' (without any drivers). Install this version and test and post back your results.

Lion and snow leopard bootcamp, after installing lion snow leopard bootcamp with windows 7 does not boot

Just installed Lion OS on my 2nd mac (on the 1st without an issue) but as I had a partition with windows 7 (installed with Snow Leopard bootcamp).
It seems that Lion OS renamed the Bootcamp partition but I am not able to rename it through OS.
Is there a solution for this or do I need to re-install?
Many thanks for your help

Hi Jack.........ok ive managed to create a link to that video on how to install bootcamp.....this is the tutorial i used and i managed to gain 100% completion on bootcamp 1st time no messing......like i said in my previous reply did you save the windows support files from apple....(Critical).....ok no point in messing about i suggest you start again from scratch........these are the things i used and YOU will need to complete bootcamp
mem stick or cd-r / dvd-r......original copy disc of win 7 ...i never used an iso i used original disc....allow a minimum of 30gb of space for your win 7 partition.....if you want bootcamp so you can use big programs like windows based games i.e.....Crysis/Call of duty etc etc ..then you will need to consider that you will need to allow a bigger partition to allow your HD to store the files.....this is the reason i installed bootcamp and so i made my partition i have a 750GB HD so i made a partition of 300gb for windows 7 and left the other 450gb for Mac....so you need to partition enough for what you want bootcamp for remember once you get bootcamp working you will need to install ALL Important Windows updates Including Win 7 SP1......once everything is installed you will have bootcamp up and running lovely.....u can then boot up with either win7 or mac......click this link and watch carefully and do exactly as shown ok and you should be fine...if you have any probs contact me again ok.....let me know how you get on ok..:)...http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=fvwp&v=QFIWtXTl4d0&NR=1

I am using bootcamp with windows 7, and always is showing me that there is no networks, it says I don't have a driver for the adapter; therefore i keep installing it, and suddendly windows 7 doesnt recognized it.

I have a Macbook Air 13" (mid 2012), recently i installed windows 7 with my original disk and code. I downloaded all the drivers via bootcamp assitant, however everytime the machine keeps disconnecting spontaneously from the internet, and keep saying that there is not driver for the adapter.
What can i do???

I install it according boot camp instructions. My thunderbolt adapter used to work fine with windows 7, but suddenly windows 7 did not recognize the driver of the adapter, and each time i install it, happens the same.

Bootcamp with windows 7 pro 32bit playing call of duty 4 modern warfare

i hope that this topic is correct in this forum..recently boot camp with windows 7 professional 32bit and install call of duty modern warfare and run the game..when i play the game..everything run smoothly..however when i press escape and goes into the pause menu..my screen hangs there..i can't move my mouse..y is it so?anyway to fix this?however when i press escape back..it goes back into the game after some time..hope i can get some help here..thanks..: )

I have exact the same problem with COD4 and my iMac and thought I'm the only one so far. So I'm sure, it is not an hardware issue, but a driver issue (esp. since the bootcamp 3.1 drivers are really outdated). Installing the latest ATI mobility catalyst drivers (i.e., 10.6) helped me at least a little by making this screen blanking somewhat more rarely but didn't solve it completely. However, I guess we have to wait until Apple fixes the iPhone issues first until they can gather some resources to update the bootcamp ATI drivers from *NOVEMBER 2009*!

Can't install HP Photosmart 2575 on BootCamp with windows 7

Upgraded to OS X Lion and, so far didn't have any major problems. Then I opted to upgrade to Windows 7 on my BootCamp partition, since Windows XP is not supported any more. My HP Photosmart 2575 worked fine under Windows XP. But now, in Windows 7 I can't get the installer to work. The system recognizes the printer in the (ethernet) network with IP and everything but, the installer won't install the appropriate driver for the printer. Error code 0x00003afc. Sending problem to HP via internet comes up with a solution for printers connected via USB, but I have ethernet connection. Anyone a solution by any chance?

Please re-post on the Boot Camp forum, that is where the Boot Camp and MS Windows people hang out.

Can't Install ATI Video Drivers on Bootcamp with Windows 7 64-bit

I've just installed Windows 7 64-bit under Bootcamp but can't seem to get any ATI Graphics drivers to install. I ran into the common blank-screen problem during installation and temporarily solved that by deleting atikmdag.sys from within Lion. At the moment W7 runs with 640x800 resolution (pretty chunky on a 27" screen!). The ATI Catalyst software just doesn't run at all (i.e click on it and nothing happens). I've used DriverSweeper to force remove all drivers and start again but every time I reboot, Windows automatically reinstalls the default driver that seems to be causing the problem in the first place!
For reference, here are iMac specs:
iMac 27" w/ OS X Lion 10.7.2
2.8Ghz Intel Core i7
4GB 1067Mhz DDR3 RAM
ATI Radeon HD 4850 512MB GDDR3
Any ideas?
Thanks

Bootcamp with Windows 8

Has someone built a bootcamp partition running Win 8?
Someone know if windows 8 is compatible with bootcamp?
Thanks

I managed to install Win8 RTM this way on my rMBP:
install Win7 with the regular bootcamp assistant, any version will work, no need to activate it
install the Apple Bootcamp drivers, reboot to finish installation
back in MacOSX, re-create the USB to install Win8 instead of Win7 on the USB key
reboot and launch Win7
install Win8 from the USB key just created above:
run setup.exe from the key
use the second option - new installation, will create a windows.old folder
let it go until the end
it will reboot maybe once, make sure to select the Windows partition (option key at boot time)
Welcome to windows 8
Re-Install the bootcamp drivers from the USB key from where you ran the win8 setup, some will work, some will fail, no way to fix it unfortunately
Things that do not work:
the bootcamp control panel
All Fx keys work as on MacOSX. Use fn+Fx key to get the normal Windows behavior
on-screen display
Things that DO work:
You can put the computer to sleep, by closing the lid for instance.
Just be patient (a few seconds) when waking up the computer, it will eventually resume.
No need to restart it.
Not tried hibernation, but, with the incredible battery life here, no need.
Enjoying this for 2 months without any hiccups.
Regards.

Bootcamp with windows 7 from my college website.

Hi, I am a new mac user and I wish to use bootcamp to have windows 7 on my mac as well as macintosh. I am studying in the field of programming and my college allows me to download Windows 7 Pro for free. It is a legit version of windows 7 and is not pirated. I would like to know how I would go about doing this with bootcamp? With bootcamp it says that I need to put in a disc..How do I put in a disc if it is a download from my schools website?

Hi,
most likely the Windows 7 download is in the form of an .exe file which in fact is a self-extracting archive.
Since Mac OSX cannot handle/run .exe files since they require a Windows environment you have to run it on another WIndows computer.
On it you should run the .exe file and should get the possibility to burn a WIndows 7 bootable DVD from it.
Maybe you can ask a friend with a Windows computer to help you.
You should also contact your schools IT-department for how-to make a bootable disc from the download.
Regards
Stefan

ATI 6750M and Bootcamp with Windows 7 - where to find drivers?

I have a 2011 MBP 15" with a ATI 6750M, where can I find Windows 7 drivers? I installed the Bootcamp drivers from the install DVD, but it looked like it actually installed nVidia drivers, not ATI. Help!

Actually Bootcamp does install the AMD drivers. Bootcamp will run the nVidia driver install, but it will see that you don't have an nVidia card installed and will close and continue on to other drivers. The AMD drivers install towards the end.
It worked just fine for me, but the drivers included are not the most up to date and they are the only drivers that will install for the 6750M. I tried installed the latest mobile drivers, but all it did was update the CCC and not the graphics driver.

I am trying to install bootcamp with windows xp professional on my macbook core duo. This is my first mac and i just purchased it. The disk will partition but when i try to start the installer a white screen appears then a folder with a ? in it appears

I just recently purchased this macbook. The optical drive was faulty, i opened it up and rubbed alcohol on the lens and that didnt work. I connected an old ide dvd rw drive in a 3.5 enclosure and it seems to work like a charm. I installed snow leopard with it so i know that it is in complete working order. I also upgraded the ram so that should not be an issue either. This is a first generation macbook 1.1 with the core duo processor. I just want to install my xp professional operating system onto this unit. I have the original xp professional disk with service pack 2, not a burned iso. When i try to launch the windows installer the dvd drive fires up and it seems like its attempting to launch windows then the screen goes from bright white to a folder with a question mark on it. From there nothing happens. Is there something i can do or that i am missing here?

Your problem is not Boot Camp, in fact, is your optical drive. Win XP requires indeed sp2, but also the internal drive, does not work from external optical drive.
For other possible tricks, please use the appropriate Boot Camp forum, not here. Mac OS X may be installed from both external and internal optical drive and/or internal/external partition of a disk, any disk. Windows is not so generous.

Using external mic with iMac 27 i7 under bootcamp with Windows 7

Hi,
I've recently got myself an iMac 27" with the i7 upgrade. I'm running Windows 7 Professional 32bit for gaming (Snow Leopard for everything else). I have a headset with two 3.5mm plugs, one for the headphones, one for the mic. I can't get the mic to work (headphones work fine though). I plug it into the line in port (as it's the only other port when the headphones are plugged in) but this doesn't work.
Does anyone know how to get this to work?
I read somewhere that the headphone port on the iMac is a "triband" port, so would work with the headphones provided with the iphone that have 3 bands on it (stereo sound and mic) or something similar...

Two things to try, first make sure your Win7 disk is spotlessly clean, my superdrive regularly spits out even slight smudges. then if that doesn't clear it up here is a maintenance tip with the reset:
As old as your iMac is, have you cleaned out the dust? Dust buildup can lead to over heating issues. Remove any and all things plugged into it including the power cord, Remove the RAM access grille. Vacuum all openings starting with the RAM access area (air intake). Vacuum all ports and plugs, DVD slot and the opening across the top of the rear of the body. Blow compressed air through all your openings and vacuum again to remove any dust you loosend. Reinstall the RAM grille. Plug in the keyboard and mouse if not blue tooth. Insert power cord...
You are now in a perfect position to do a
SMC RESET
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
Wait 15 seconds.
Attach the computers power cable.
Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
It is the 5 second timing that initiates the reset.
