Bootcamp & Mac purchase

Bootcamp & Mac purchase: just bought song in boot camp. Expect it will not be in Mac. I can copy song folder to Mac
but will it be accepted? Will album art be there?
I could not go other way because Vista does not see Mac files, so all purchases should be with Vista?

Expect it will not be in Mac.
You're right, it won't be.
I can copy song folder to Mac but will it be accepted?
Drag the song into the iTunes window and it should be, yes.
Will album art be there?
Album art from the iTunes Store is kept in a separate folder, so you'll have to copy it separately.
I could not go other way because Vista does not see Mac files, so all purchases should be with Vista?
Or buy them on the Mac side and use one of the various means available to copy them to the Windows partition, including burning a CD, copying the track to a USB flash drive, or getting drivers that allow Windows to mount a Mac volume.
Regards.

  • First Mac Purchase - iMac i3 - Please Advise

    Hello, I am very close to purchasing my first ever Mac, but I am unsure of which direction to take. I am debating between the iMac i3 - 21.5 inch base model with 8gb of ram, or the next model up. I know that the hard drive is double, the processor is a little bit faster, and the video card is better. I am hoping there are some Mac gurus who might help with some insight is this decision. I will be mainly using it for work, but also for some light gaming, nothing serious. Is the $250 worth the 3.20 i3, 1TB HD, and the better graphics card? Or, should I increase the ram on the base model from 4gb to 8gb? Any suggestions on above mentioned information or any other relevant information would be much appreciated, thanks.

    Thank you all for your quick responses. As far as the first respons goes, I just do not know enough yet about the OSx applications, so I am really not sure yet what applications I may be using. However, I do edit/add new products to the web for the company I work for. It's primary used will be for work, but the web editing I do is nothing too crazy. Mainly just editing photos and writing the info in HTML.
    In reference to the second response, that was the way I was leaning. I am unsure if I can convince my wife to go up to the i5 model though, ha. I do want to check out some games on I though, even though I have a ps3. I also may want to run Windows with the parallel program. I guess I'm just trying to make the most informed decision since I do not know a lot about the macs and which one is the best value.
    The third response has almost convinced me now to go with the base model. The bottom line for me is $250 is not a huge deal, but $450(to go to the i5) is getting closer to being a big deal. To me, it seems like the faster processor and the graphics card are worth $250 and the hard drive is a bonus as well. I definitely liked the point of getting an external drive, but how much am I going to spend for a 500gb external drive? Will I be getting closer and closer to the original $250 difference I could have spent to go with the nicer model? Once again thank you for responding, and I hope to hear some more insightful thoughts to help me with my first Mac purchase, cheers.

  • I need to run a clean scan report on my os x mac purchased in oct 2006. Can anyone help me with a software that is available to do this? Thanks Madhumann

    I need to run a clean scan report on my os x mac purchased in 2006.
    Can anyone help me identify a software that will do this?
    Thanks Madhumann

    clean scan report
    What do you mean by this?  What results are you looking for?  List some of the results you would see in the report.
    Are you saying you want to check the hd for problems?
    Verify a disk
    As an alternative, you can verify that the filesystem on the disk is correct. You will not be able to repair the file system.
    I suggest that you use disk utility to verify that your startup disk is OK. 
    Macintosh-HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility 
    Start up disk utility.  On the left pane view, you will see a list of all your disks.  
    Click on your startup disk.
    Click on the First Aid  Tab.
    Click on verify.  
    Hopefully your disk will verify.  If not, you have to boot from your installation DVD and run Disk Utility from there to attempt to repair your file-system.

    What is your iTunes version?
    If iTunes 11, have you checked the "Up Next" list? If it is not empty, try if clearing "UP Next" will help:

  • Befuddled second-time Mac purchaser

    New Leopard Mac purchased. I had a Panther which developed an aversion to getting online. Now need to transfer files to my new machine, but Intel Leopard is snubbing PPC Panther so I'm having to transfer files via a storage hard drive unit.
    Problems:
    1. I can't figure out how to transfer info like iPhoto Albums, iCal daily notations and the like. No problem transferring my music into iTunes.
    2. I can't seem to get Leopard to stop going directly to Admin Account instead of the managed one I want to work from after a Shutdown. (Bypass separate log in page and go right to my secondary account. Can't remember how I got Panther to do this, but seem to remember it just did it if I shutdown from the secondary anyway.)
    3. With Panther I went months before finding out about things like YASU and Permissions Repair. What maintenance programs are considered must-haves for Leopard? Is YASU still needed? Couldn't find it on VersionTracker. (I already installed new versions of Little Snitch and ClamAV.)

    I went to Accounts, did the Login Options and was given the choice of changing my password and altering Parental Controls. That was it. No option to stop Admin being auto chosen to open when turning on the computer. (However, I just did Software Update yesterday to ignore GarageBand and iMovie. So naturally those two items showed up with the huge MB files waiting for my dial up to download. sigh
    What with two screen freezes yesterday (one requiring a hold-start-button restart, maybe I got a lemon Leopard? Does that option show up on anyone else's OSX10.5.3?
    I've only got until July 5 to return this if need be and though this will definitely be my last Mac purchase, I'm not ready to go back to Windows yet.

  • Question from a prospective Mac purchaser...

    I'm planning on getting a new Mac in May...Is that a good time to get one? Will it be the same ol 08 Garage band that comes with it? When does '09 come out?
    Would it be smarter to wait til later in the year?
    I have about a 1600 budget.

  • My bootcamped Mac Pro version 10.6.8 has sound in the windows 7 side but not on the mac side. Help!

    My bootcamped Mac Pro version 10.6.8 has sound in the windows 7 side but no sound in the Mac side. Any suggestions?

    Hi there, @James.
    You should check the audio output from the settings.
    1) Open the System Preferences.
    2) Click the "Sound" icon.
    3) Follow the steps.
    I had this problem and that's how I solved it.

  • Trouble using firewire drives via thunderbolt adapter on bootcamped Mac Pro 2013 towers

    Here at the university, we've just installed a new classroom of Mac Pro towers (late 2013).  We like to use Bootcamp in said classroom, and so I (painstakingly) installed Windows 8.1 on a test machine.  I've found that the brand new firewire-to-thunderbolt adapters we bought don't seem to work when booted into Windows.  I have few LaCie firewire drives I use to install software packages, and the occasional WD My Book, and our students are encourage to purchase G-Drives to back up their film projects.
    I have a couple of LaCie drives that I've partitioned as part Mac OS Extended and part ExFat (or even MS-DOS just in case).   The Windows-friendly partitions don't mount or even get detected, so I think it's the adapter(s) not being recognized by Windoes, especially since the firewire to thunderbolt adapters work on the Mac side.
    Could this be a driver problem like what's mentioned here?

    Well, no one answered at all, but somehow the problem solved itself.  I'm not sure if one of the automatic Windows updates cleared things up or what, but now I can connect Firewire drives with no problems.  Also, as some kind of bonus, Windows 8 is able to read Mac partitioned firewire drives, which I don't think was possible in Windows 7.
    The problem may also have been that I hadn't entered the Windows activation key in yet? I'm not sure that makes sense in terms of Thunderbolt adapters...
    10+ years ago, I read a Microsoft tip of the day that said "Problems that go away by themselves can come back by themselves." It's haunted me ever since.

  • Is there a way to install Bootcamp without purchasing a Windows disc?

    I understand that to install Bootcamp on a MacBook Pro (15"), I need a Windows 7 installer disc. I am happy to purchase this if absolutely necessary, but it seems silly to buy Windows 7 all over again when I have it running on another laptop I own. Is there any way to somehow make my own installer disc from my own version of Windows 7 instead of buying a completely seperate copy just for use on Mac? Thanks

    Windows license is an MS issue, not a Bootcamp issue.  MS says "one install per license".
    To install in Bootcamp, you need a copy of Windows install with *ALL* drivers, be it a full (install as often as you wish) or OEM/"System Builder" (install once, but beg permission to install on another system).  Windows disk that came with your old Dell or HP or Gateway only has drivers for that system.

  • Bootcamp/Mac os Problems

    So I installed Bootcamp on my mac. I made sure that everything was installed correctly. I put in the disc, started up the program, ect. After the Installment I switched over to my mac os. I went to system preferences and changed the default operating system to Windows then restarted the computer. When I try and switch over to my mac os It stays on the white loading screen. I found a way to bypass that part, I inserted a disc, restarted the computer, held the mouse button down, the disc came out, then it took only 2 mins to load. After that I got some error about my homefolder not opening (firevalt). I clicked repair and logon and it seemed all fine. Then I opend a internet window but It wouldn't load. I checked the router, restarted it a bunch, all that stuff. Then I checked my connection and I still don't know whats the problem. The strange thing is that I can connect to Skype but I can't open an internet brouser. I don't get most of what's going on with my mac. There are only 2 main problems, the internet and the startup. Please reply.

    its not a dream, it really does work. I'd suspect that Leopard is on that drive where you have it attached to the ata cable in place of an optical drive.
    anyway here's some info:
    Mac OS X 10.5: System requirements for Boot Camp and Microsoft Windows
    * Last Modified on: October 11, 2007
    * Article: 306538
    Apple's Boot Camp software, included with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, lets you install and use Microsoft Windows and Windows-based applications on your Intel-based Mac.
    System requirements
    To use Boot Camp with Mac OS X 10.5 you need the following:
    * An Intel-based Mac
    * A Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard installation disc. This can be either a Mac OS X Leopard disc included with a purchased copy of Leopard, or a Mac OS X Install Disc 1 from a Mac that had Leopard preinstalled
    * A USB keyboard and mouse, or a built-in keyboard and trackpad
    * At least 10 GB of free space on the disk you’re installing on (for Microsoft Windows and Windows-based applications)
    * 2 GB or more of memory (RAM) if using Windows Vista on a Mac Pro computer
    * Boot Camp Assistant, which is installed by Leopard in (/Applications/Utilities/).
    * An authentic, 32-bit Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition or Professional with Service Pack 2 (or later) disc
    or
    An authentic, 32-bit Microsoft Windows Vista Home Basic, Home Premium, Business, or Ultimate disc
    Important: For a Windows XP installation, your Microsoft Windows XP installation disc must include Service Pack 2 (SP2).

  • Leopard/Bootcamp/Mac pro RAID Card

    The last two bullets in the "More Info" section of Apple's Mac Pro RAID card read as follows:
    • The Mac Pro RAID Card is required when selecting 15,000-rpm SAS drives.
    • The Mac Pro RAID Card supports Mac OS X only.
    Five Apple tech reps have told me I can run Leopard on a striped array of three 300GB SAS drives and then, via Bootcamp, use the fourth independent 300GB SAS drive to run Windows XP. I ordered a $10,000 G5 tower on this premise and now, today, a sixth Apple tech rep tells me it cannot be done. Each time I've called, I get a somewhat different answer. Does anyone have actual experience with a G5 such as this? Is there a third party RAID card that will work? If necessary, I still have time to cancel my order. Why would Apple build a RAID card that is not compatible with a most important feature of Leopard--Bootcamp? I don't understand their philosophy. They seem to work at biting the hand that feeds them.

    Kappy, thanks for taking time to try to answer my question. I'll state it more clearly.
    At this moment I'm typing on a 3 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon machine with four 500Gb drives. Three drives are configured as a RAID 0 Volume running Leopard. The fourth INDEPENDENT drive is partitioned via Bootcamp into two bootable volumes--one with Leopard and other with Windows XP Professional. For the new machine I would like to purchase, I never intend to run Windows from a RAID volume. My beef with Apple is that their high performance 15,000 rpm SCSI drives require their RAID card to function, whether it be in a RAID set or independently. Their interface to the motherboard is through the RAID card. Apple has not written Windows drivers for their RAID card. Consequently, if I intend to run Windows on their latest Mac Pro, I cannot install the high performance 15,000 rpm drives. I simply would like to configure the new machine the same as the one I have now, which is three drives combined in a RAID 0 array running Leopard, and the fourth drive remaining a stand alone for Bootcamp to partition into two bootable volumes--one with Leopard and one with Windows XP.
    In summary, there is no way to use Apple's highest performance Mac Pro in a Windows environment. I think that's inconsiderate of Apple. I would like the performance of 15,000 rpm SCSI drives (RAID or not) but I also need Windows XP. I'm sure many others will face the same dilemma. Apple should give this matter a high priority and churn out the sorely needed drivers. So back to my original question--five Apple tech reps said I can configure the machine as described above and it will work fine--the sixth rep said there is no way it can work, because their card cannot run Windows. Who should I believe. I don't want to make a ten-thousand dollar mistake.
    P.S. The configuration shown below is for the machine I hope to purchase, not the one I'm using now. This one is a 3GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon Mac Pro.

  • Purchased 3 movies on my Apple TV and they are not showing up on my Mac., Purchased 3 movies on my Apple TV and they are not showing up on my Mac.

    Hi,
    Two days ago I purchased The Dark Night Trilogy on my Apple TV.  All three movies are available on my Apple TV, iPhone and iPad.  Today I wanted to check out the itunes extras on my Mac but none of the movies are showing up.  I checked under both the store and purchases. 
    What can I do about this?
    Thanks,
    D

    Ringtones are currently a one-time only download, they won't appear under the Purchased tab nor in the cloud. Have you got copies of them in the Tones section of your computer's iTunes library or in the backup of your downloads that you can use to re-sync them to your phone ? If not, and they are still in the store, then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then try selecting Purchases, Billing & Redemption
