Bootcamp 3.1 (64 bits) can't be installed on Bootcamp 3.0 (32 bits)

I installed without problems Windows 7 (64 bits) on my iMac and everything works properly, except for the printer (not found) and the Magic Mouse.
When I try to install the Bootcamp 3.1 (64 bits) in Windows, I get the message "You have to install Bootcamp 3.0 first". But when I try to install the last (found on my OS disk), I get the message "This version (32 bits) will not work on this computer."
Where I can find a Bootcamp 3.0 (64 bits)? Or how can I fix that otherwise?
Thanks (and sorry if this was already answered somewhere - I took a look but just can't find the solution.)

Copy the whole contents to a folder in Windows and navigate to
Apple - Drivers - Bootcamp64
Control click and select Troubleshoot
Or, change Properties and choose Vista or Earlier Windows mode.

You must use the Windows formatter to format your Windows partition NTFS. Please be sure you select the Windows partition otherwise you might end up formatting your OS X partition NTFS.

Mid 2010 iMac upgraded SSD, can't seem to install windows via bootcamp. Windows can't be installed on this storage device. The chosen harddisk contains a MBR-partition-table. Windows can only be installed on GPT-harddisks on EFI-systems error

I have windows 8.1 on DVD & on USB CF Reader/Card. I've followed the full steps in bootcamp, but when it restarts and its time to select the bootcamp partition to install windows (after alt rebooting to the efi startup) I get the "Windows can't be installed on this storage device. The chosen harddisk contains a MBR-partition-table. Windows can only be installed on GPT-harddisks on EFI-systems" error.
I've scoured the internet trying different solutions that seem to work for everyone else, but to no avail. I've reformatted from that screen, doesn't help. I've removed bootcamp partition and manually partitioned using disk util, leaving it empty once partition-wise, and filling it with a blank partition the second time. I've done a full back up and clean re-install of Yosemite, and nothing seems to be working.
Thats when I switched to DVD install, as I heard sometimes you can't install with a CF card. When I alt-boot, I can see EFI-windows and windows, but if I select EFI-windows, same problem as before, and if I select windows, I get the black screen of "no bootable device please insert boot disk and press any key."
I've been stuck w/o bootcamp for over 2 years now. Anyone, please help?
Mid 2010 iMac running 256gb SSD, Yosemite 10.10.1 trying to install windows 8.1

I am having the same problem. Windows is trying to install. It identifies the various partitions but says that I cannot install Windows on the Boot Camp partition or any other. I select Drive options (advanced) and Format the Boot Camp drive, but it makes no difference.
This is the Windows error:
Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk has an MBR partition table. On EFI systems, Windows can only be installed to GPT disks.
Windows cannot be installed to this disk. This computer's hardware may not support booting to this disk. Ensure that the disk's controller is enabled in the computer BIOS menu.
I am not sure what Csound1 is suggesting with that post above. There are some involved suggestions over here <https://discussions.apple.com/message/23548999#23548999> about using Disk Utility to delete the Boot Camp partition and create new ones - is that the idea?

When burning the .iso file to a disc restrict the burn-speed to 2x
Otherwise the disc will most likely not work.
It's a common phenomenon on Macs.

How Can I re-Install Bootcamp? I deleted it from my applications somehow.

I have recently purchased an i7 core processor MacBook Pro and I am trying to install BootCamp so I can run a Windows program. I have 2 other MacBooks running BootCamp (one Windows XP and the other Windows 7).When I tried to run the Windows XP install DVD the MacBook wouldn't read it (I have an update DVD to upgrade to Windows 7 once XP is installed). Appearently XP is no longer supported by BootCamp, so I will get a Windows 7 install disk.
I have somehow merged BootCamp and it is no longer in my applications list in Finder. How can I re-install BootCamp? Is there a way to do this without wiping the disk clean and re-installing the Snow Leopard OS?
I also have a Parallels 6 DVD. Should I just use it and forget running BootCamp? I'm running Mac OS X 10.6.8 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7 with 4 GB 1067MHz DDR3.
Thank You For Your Help,
Curt

If the computer came with 10.7 Lion installed NEW then you cannot install XP or Vista now. If it's an older one then you can still use XP and upgrade to Lion and it will still work.
You do not have to install XP in order to Upgrade to W7. It will just erase and install over XP anyway. You cannot merge the OS together like you would with VIsta and W7. That's the only way you can install W7 over XP is a clean install. You already have the legal XP disk so you can just skip that step and just go to installing the Upgrade version of W7 as it is mentioned by Microsoft. There are a few ways of installing with the Upgrade version the easiest way is to just install W7 normally then without updating or authorizing it reinstall over the new install and then you can authorize it and update it normally and all is good.
I'm not sure what you mean by merged Boot Camp?
Have you done a search in Spotlight for "Boot Camp Assistant" and see what it says? Worst case scenario you can just re-install (Restore?) 10.6 over itself and it will just reinstall the core OS without deleting anything else. Click on your empty desktop and at the top of the Apple Menu click on Help and type in Reinstalling Mac OS X and follow the instructions.
Also you do have an Application Disk along with the OS disk to restore applications with, Boot Camp Assistant should be on there, you will just have to make sure to use the Apple Software Updater to make sure it gets updated before you need it.
As far as using VMWare/Parallels, if you have a heavy duty program that is processor heavy or needs a lot of ram then you may need to use Boot Camp for the native use of the hardware. If you don't need the full Proc or lot's of ram then a Virtual disk is fine. Myself I use both, I can boot into Windows for the heavy programs and stay in the Mac side and use Parallels for the lighter applications. I'm still using 10.6 so I don't have it installed on my Lion HD yet so I don't know how Version 6.x works in Lion.

HT4929 I am unable to install OS XLion and get a message that it can't be installed on Disk Mackintosh HD because a recovery system can't be created. I am then referred to apple support but am unable to find anything which can help. Can someone help pleas

Unable to install OS X Lion as "...it can't be installed on Disk Mackintosh HD because recovery system can't be created. Visit www.apple......"
Visiting the web pages does not help me can someone please point me in the right direction ?

OK. You have a Boot Camp partition which is why the issue. See the following:
It seems the issue is that the space at the "bottom" of your available space when Lion installs it's partition is already occupied by BootCamp. The fix was to go into Disk Utility; Select your Hard Drive; Select Partition; Move the bottom of your main partition "up" a bit to create a space for Lion; close Disk Utility; Install Lion; once Lion is successfully installed, go back into Disk Partition and drag the bottom of your main partition back "down" to the bottom of the window.
In your case use Disk Utility to "shrink" your OS X partition a little more than 1 GB.
To resize the drive do the following:
1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
After the main menu appears select Disk Utility and click on the Continue button. Select the hard drive's main entry then click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
2. You should see the graphical sizing window showing the existing partitions. A portion may appear as a blue rectangle representing the used space on a partition.
3. In the lower right corner of the sizing rectangle for each partition is a resizing gadget. Select it with the mouse and move the bottom of the rectangle upwards until you have reduced the existing partition enough to create the desired empty space. The space below the resized partition will appear gray. Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.
Remember that you only need to shrink the OS X partition a little more than 1 GB. Now, when you try the Mountain Lion installation the installer will be able to make the Recovery HD.

TS1600 OS X could not be installed on your computer. OSX can't be installed on the disk Macintosh HD because a recovery system can't be created.

I just bought the new OS X 10.8 and downloaded but when I tried to install it on my computer Installation Failed and I got this message:
"OS X can't be installed on the disk Macintosh HD , because a recovery system can't be created."
I tried so many times but the same message comes out to me each time and when I restart the computer I am back to the same OS X installer and can't access my computer any more so I am really stuck I can't install the new OS X version and can't go back to the old OS X version or access my computer.
Please help

Windows cannot be installed to this disk 0. The selected disk has an MBR partition table. On EFI system, Windows can only be installed on GPT disks

Hi All,
I have been trying real hard to install Windows 8 on my Macbook Pro early 2011 model. I followed the instruction given by Bootcamp word to word, all things went very smoothly untill I was asked Windows Setup Instaled to selct the Hard drive. Here's the error:
"Windows cannot be installed to this disk 0. The selected disk has an MBR partition table. On EFI system, Windows can only be installed on GPT disks...."
Let me know guys what should I do?
Thanks,
Attiqe

You have started the Windows 8 installer in EFI mode, and you don't have to start in EFI mode on a Mac because your Mac emulates a BIOS and a MBR partition table in order to install Windows in non-EFI mode.
To start the Windows installer, hold the Option (Alt) key while your computer is starting and have a look at all the boot options you have. You should see two with a DVD above and they must be named "Windows" and "EFI Boot". Choose the option with "Windows" and follow the steps to install Windows. Note that you have to format the "BOOTCAMP" partition from the installer to be able to install Windows.
If you are trying to install Windows from a USB drive, note that your computer isn't compatible to do it

Windows can't be installed on Drive 0 Partition 4.

Macbook pro, 13 inch, mid 2012.
2,9 GHz, intel Core i7
8 Gb 1600 MHz DDR3
Version 10.9.5
Hi,
I've been trying to install windows 8,1 Pro, x64 on my
Macbook pro and I followed the instructions of this site " http://www.instructables.com/id/Install-Windows-7-on-MacBook-Pro-with-Retina-Dis pl/?ALLSTEPS "
Everything went smoothly until after step 5, when my computer shout down and a black screen came up and it said "boot device not found..." i searched the web and found that i could press option key after that I could choose between MAC, System recovery, Windows(didn't work) and EFI BOOT. To get too windows installations i pressed EFI BOOT. I started my installation and entered my product key and then i got stuck.
The installation ask me "where i want to install windows" and had 4 options, the last one said BOOTCAMP, so i choose to format my "disk 0 partition 4, BOOTCAMP" as the instructions said. When the disk was done formatting, it become "disk 0 partitions 4" and it also said "Windows cannot be installed to this disk the selcted disk har an MR partition table. On EFI systems, windows can only be installed to GPT disks.
I don't know what to do and i'm kind a new at this, does anybody have any ideas?
Best regards.

On your MBP (I have the same model - Model Identifier MacBookPro 9,2), EFI method of installation will cause problems with Graphics/Keyboard/Mouse/Audio. The EFI Firmware on this Mac is a preUEFI model. Such models do not support installation on pure GPT disks. This is from the Bootcamp info.plist.

        </array>
The regular method (non EFI boot) is fully supported and uses a BIOS compatibility mode, which only works on a GPT+MBR (aka Hybrid MBR disk). This requires BC Assistant to partition/format (as FAT32). Such a partition needs to be reformatted from FAT32 to NTFS for Windows to install correctly.
You are mixing the two methods by choosing EFI, but partitioning the disk via BCA. I would not recommend using the EFI method on this specific model

Can OSX be installed onto a PC?

Sorry, kind of long.... but expresses what I'm looking for, trying to do, and why.
I need a new computer. We used to have two, and then one caught fire (watercooled, developed leak, coolant dripped onto electronics...). Now we have one remaining computer to share. I have options: I can build one from scratch and select my OS of choice (Win8, Linux, Apple), or I can buy a computer from the store and go with either Win8 or Apple, or buy one from the store and wipe it's hard drive and install my OS of choice. Here's the problem.... Macs are insanely expensive and well out of my price range at $1,000+ (even the Mac Mini, with decent performance options plus the needed soft/hardware to get started), Linux requires a lot of user involvement to make it work with everything, and I absolutely despise Microsoft's new Windows 8 abortion.
So here's my main question: can I install OSX onto a PC? Regardless of whether I build it from scratch or buy a ready-made computer from the store and wipe it's hard drive free of Win8?
Secondary questions, assuming "yes" to my first: I looked up the OSX software here on Apple's website, and it's like $26 or something, far cheaper than any Windows offering (even at their upgrade price). Is this a full version of OSX, or an update that just tweaks your current version to bring it up to speed with new stuff? If it's an upgrade, can you buy a full version? Or if it is a full version, can it be installed by a common user onto a fresh hard drive without having to be an Apple employee with special passcodes, permissions, etc, or without having to send it off to Apple so they can install it for you? And will it work with PC components? I've read of people taking Macs, removing OSX, and installing Windows onto it, so theoretically the two OS's don't have problems recognizing and using each other's individual components which means nothing's proprietary....right?
Thanks for any help you guys can provide! I really don't want to be forced to use Windows 8, fuss with Linux, or take out a second mortgage on my house just to afford a Mac. I'm trying to find a compromise of affordability, internal hardware upgradability (which Apple doesn't let you do), and user friendliness (I can deal with Linux if needed, but would rather have something that just works).

Awww, ****. Oh well, it was worth a shot. Thanks for the quick replies guys. I guess I need to go back to looking into Linux..... Linux is a bit of a hassle (trade-off for being free?), but I refuse to have anything more to do with Microsoft now that they have ruined Windows to complete and utter uselessness. It's a kids toy now, not a useful work program for adults. Vista and Win7 were bad enough (although still usefull), but Win8 is a joke. *sigh*
Thank you all, you were very helpful. :-)

Can't re-install the iTunes

Dear All,
I can't re-install the iTunes after i removed it accidentally.
i have download the lates iTunes version but when i want to install it,
The error message is :
really appreciate the answers and help.
thank you

You also can try this steps posted in another forum:
Are you running Kaspersky security software on that PC? (There's been a few reports in recent times of Kaspersky interfering with iTunes installs, with that message being produced.)
If there is Kaspersky on board, we should try some general-principles getting-past-security-software-interference troubleshooting.
Download and save a fresh copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (32-bit installer file) or iTunes64Setup.exe to your Hard drive. (Don't run the install on line, and don't start the install just yet.)
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Restart the PC. After the PC restarts do not open any applications. Disconnect from your network and/or the internet. Now switch off all your security software (firewall, antivirus, antispyware).
Now start the install by doubleclicking the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) file you downloaded earlier.
Reenable all security software prior to reconnecting to your network and/or the internet.
