Bootcamp Assistant... Trying to Install and STUCK
Please help!!!! I spent half of the day today trying to install windows via bootcamp on my mac and am completely stuck. I have gotten no where.
I have a iMac 27 inch late 2013 with 3.2 GHz Intel Core i5, 8 GB memory, 10.10.2 Yosemite. I’ve got more than 600 GB free space. I am trying to install windows 8.1 via the disks.
I followed the instruction manual for bootcamp located here: http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1636/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_ 10.8.pdf although it seems like it’s a bit old because it talks about software update off the apple menu. It is made for windows 8. I also followed this: http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201468.
I have searched many others that asked this question and have tried their suggestions but I am still stuck.
Here are the steps I took:
Made my own ISO from the 64 bit windows 8 disk.
Opened bootcamp, selected all 3 of the boxes – downloaded the updates, etc.
Partitioned the drive so that there is 199gb dedicated to Windows.
It then gets stuck on the partitioning disk screen. It looks like it’s 100% done on the status bar as soon as I push install, but then nothing else happens.
I had previously gotten past this screen, booted to windows, and when I tried selecting the partition to install windows on, it gave me an error message: “Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is of the GPT partition style.” I tried clicking “format” but that didn’t help. I read a post where a person recommended to partition the drive via Disk Utility instead. I tried that but then got a new error…. So I used the bootcamp assistant to put back to one single partition and remove everything I did. I deleted the data on the USB drive and started over. Here I am now – stuck on the bootcamp screen trying to partition the disk.
When I go to disk utility, it only shows one partition with my full 1 TB of storage.
Also, if you are kind enough to answer, please take me step by step because I am great at following instructions but don’t know how to do this off-hand. J
Okay - I figured it out! I repaired the disk in Disk Utility and then just selected the third box. That allowed it to get past where it was stuck and then the whole install went smoothly.

BootCamp Assistant 4.0.1 and errors while trying to download Windows support software
I am using BootCamp Assistant 4.0.1 and I keep getting errors while trying to download the Windows support software. I keep getting errors that says the software is not on the server or that there was just an error saving and it stops. Any help please!! I am using a MacBook pro with the new Lion OS
I finally got it to work correctly. I re-formatted the external hard drive and everything worked fine.

I'm using a 15" Macbook Pro running OSX6.8 and cannot upgrade. I have a subscription to Adobe CC but none of these work on this so I was on with Adobe for 5 hours trying to install and launch Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, Muse, and Acrobat Pro from CS6. Well, InDesign is the only one that works and I have a ton of work due! I don't have a serial number for Photoshop or Illustrator except for CS3, and they don't work. InDesign gave me no problems. Illustrator says it can't work on this machine. Photoshop needs a serial number. I'm stumped and getting anxious and freaked out. Can anyone help? Adobe Chat is down right now.
if you have a cc subscription, close ps > sign out and then back in to your cc desktop > open ps.
ai cs6 requires:
Multicore Intel processor with 64-bit support
Mac OS X v10.6.8 or v10.7. Adobe Creative Suite 5, CS5.5, and CS6 applications support Mac OS X v10.8 and v10.9 when installed on Intel-based systems.*
2 GB of RAM (8 GB recommended)
2 GB of available hard-disk space for installation; additional free space required during installation (cannot install on a volume that uses a case-sensitive file system or on removable flash storage devices)
1024 x 768 display (1280 x 800 recommended) with 16-bit video card -
windows 7 64 bit will not install itunes..it tries to install and keeps telling quick time for windows did not properly install any help?
Hi Tamekia,
I am sorry to hear nothing has worked yet. I have looked up some additional information and possible solutions. Follow the steps in this document to perform a level-three uninstall, register the Windows Installer Service, and then reinstall the HP software. An uninstall and reinstall of the software deletes and overwrites any of the files that might cause the error and resets the Windows Installer. HP recommends that you download the latest software from the HP Web site to remove any files that might be causing this error.
Level-three uninstall, and register the Windows Installer Service
Note: The title of this document is not specific to the issue you are experiencing or the operating system you have, but the 3 steps and instructions are what I suggest we do to resolve the issue you are experiencing.
Hope this helps.

I have tried to install and run Captivate 4 but it tell me I have this product installed on 2 other computers. I do not have this installed on any other computers.
How do I solve this issue so I can use the Captivate software?- You can only sync with one iTune library but you can manually music music and vides with different computers. To do so go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.

Error 1856 yeah tried re-install and running as admin still have that error
yeah tried re-install and running as admin still have that error any Ideas?
Good start.
Only two things I did differently. I used a new admin account. I opened a .mov file freshly downloaded from Apple's web site.
Log into a different account with admin privileges (create a new one if necessary)
Download a .mov file and store it on the hard drive.
Open the .mov file.
Move that same file to a temp folder on hard drive and assign rights to problem user.
Log off and log in as the troubled user.
That same file should now open
Try opening one of the files that could not open before.
If that doesn't work, (I didn't do this, it was on another Apple support forum post elsewhere)
Fully uninstall QuickTime
Download the K-lite Codec pack (I downloaded the full version here http://www.free-codecs.com/Klite_codec_packdownload.htm)
Install it and accept its changes it will make
Once K-lite is installed, now you can re-install QuickTime
Try opening the file again
G'luck. -
I keep trying to install and reinstall itunes but keep getting apple application support not found...how do i fix this?
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if Apple Application Support won't install normally.

im trying to install and i get a message saying
"an error occured during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft. VC80.CRT,type="win32",version="8.0.50727.6195",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b ",processorArchitecture="x86"" . Please refer to Help and Support for more infomation. HRESULT: 0x800736B3These ones are typically caused by underlying problems on the PC that also often cause Windows Updates to fail to install. If we can fix the Windows Update trouble, we can usually get the iTunes trouble cleaned up en passant.
Go into your Windows update and try to check for new updates. If updates install, stock up on the ones you're behind on, restarting the PC if requested to do so. After the restart, try installing iTunes again. Does it go through this time for you?
If windows updates fail to install, go into your Update History and doubleclick the failures. What alphanumeric codes appear for you? (For example, 8007000B.) -
When trying to access i tunes store when in I Tunes i cannot connect to the internet - any thoughts? i have tried un-installing and re-installing but no joy
Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 n above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

I reinstalled acrobat 8 on my computer but when I try to print to a pdf it states that the program isn't activated. I tried to install and reinstall it but it still doesn't work. It shows that it is activated. I tried to deactivate and reactivate but that doesn't help either. Everything else seems to work.
Hi tspcat,
What operating system are you using, and what version? You may be running into a compatibility issue between your older version of Acrobat and the OS that you're running.
Please let us know a bit more about your setup, so we can get to the bottom of this printing issue.
Thanks,

Need help with " BOOTCAMP" after trying to install windows 7
I have a problem. I was trying to install windows 7 on my MBP, i followed all of the instructions. When i was trying to install the cd it was asking me in what partition that i wanted to install the drivers Partition 0, 1, 2, 3 etc. I had to create a new one and it asked me and gave me and option that it will need to erase mac(journaled) and it gave me another option to create a new volumen, the one that i erased was mac(journaled) i don't know if i was supposed to or not. Now when i click the BOOTCAMP to start the windows set up this is the message that pops up " The startup disk must be formatted as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume or already partitioned by Boot Camp Assistant for installing Windows. "
I tried everything and it is till doing the same thing i don't know what to do !! if somebody can help me i will very much appreciated.
Another thing i did not mention. The message started showing up after i click the option erase and mac(journaled) and create a new one and after i installed mac os x 10.5.7 in the bootcamp partition.Used Boot Camp Assistant only, and not Disk Utility, to create one volume for Windows? you wouldn't want to erase and use mac extended journaled.
At this point, you will need to initialize your drive and restore from TimeMachine as one HFS+ partition and redo with BCA. -
