Bootcamp (windows compatability with programs pre-installed to mac)

Hi, i've recently got a macbook pro on a grant for university. i have today purchased and uploaded the windows 7 programme on bootcamp. the only problem is that on windows it now appears that i have no access to programs which are installed on the mac part of the computer such as microsoft word, excel, power point etc. is there anyway of accessing them through the windows part of my computer?
thank you for your help!

    Will not show up in safe mode, will not show when started from Windows 7 DVD.
    I suspect the Mac update wiped out my PC video drivers but can not think of a way to re-install?
    Can see the PC volume from Mac side with files.
    I've looked at all the online solutions so far and have tried most of them without success. Please help!

    Specifically, the posts by Dunsany and valkyr did the trick.  I booted in safe mode, uninstalled and deleted the Nvidia driver, disabled automatic driver installation, and restarted normally.  I then manually downloaded and installed the previous Nvidia driver for my graphics card (which at the time of this writing was 335.23, rather than the latest which was 337.88), and everything is now bueno!
    Two hiccoughs along the way: First, when I tried to uninstall the Nvidia driver the first time, when I restarted I got the login screen (which was a good sign), but it quickly went black again.  I powered down, restarted in safe mode again, and repeated the uninstallation process, and it worked the second time.  Second, when I started the manual install of the 335.23 driver, the computer played a sound similar to the one for disconnecting a USB device, and the screen went black.  I'd seen a lot about trying to increase the brightness (though it hadn't worked up to this point; but if you haven't tried it yet, might as well); I tried it, and it worked! So far I'm back up and running. [/fingers crossed]
    Hope this helps someone else!

  • T61 with linux pre-installed in Ireland

    I would very much like to buy a T61 but can only do so if linux is pre-installed, I could easily install it myself, but only by buying it with linux pre-installed could I dodge my employers commitment to dell: if I buy a windows computer it has to be a dell. So, is it possible to get a T61 in Ireland with linux pre-installed?

    Did you go to the lenovo site and type "linux" into the search box? That provides some good results in the US site, I don't know about sweden.

  • Windows 10 not accepting pre-installed Windows 7 key

    I have an Acer laptop which came with windows 7. I installed Windows 10 from an ISO provide by the Microsoft web page due to the length of time I was waiting for my  upgrade notification. The Install went fine but I am concerned that Windows 10 is now refusing to accept the Windows 7 license key I got with my pre-installed laptop. If I had waited for the upgrade notification I'm sure the upgrade would not have asked for the key and the OS would be happy.    So, what can I do now?

    It is confusing.  I took the safe route and just went through Windows update.  But the article in Link below says you can use iso.  I don't know because I didn't try it and didn't want to risk it......because I didn't want to cough up $100 for windows 10 license if things went bad. https://www.thurrott.com/windows/windows-10/5008/windows-10-tip-associate-your-pc-with-your-free-windows-10-license Maybe try creating a Microsoft account????? and it will activate??? I guess you could always use your Windows 7 recovery discs that you made prior to updating to Windows 10 and just start over. Or is erecovery still availble on your computer???? http://community.acer.com/t5/Knowledge-Base/Windows-7-Recovery-options/ta-p/59667 worst case scenario is you can buy erecovery from acer store (if you forgot to make recovery discs) to get windows 7 back on your computer and then go through windows update to get Windows 10 (and save $50).  But I would exhaust all other methods before I went down the worst case scenario path. http://store.acer.com/store/aceramer/html/pbPage.globalStoreSelector/ThemeID.35703000  

  • I bought a mac mini with Lion pre-installed.  If I upgrade my mac mini to Mountain Lion, am I free to install Lion on my older macbook using the mini license?

    I currently have two macs.  A 2008 macbook which is running Snow Leopard, can run Lion, and cannot run Mountain Lion.  I also have a mac mini which came with Lion pre-installed.  I plan on upgrading my mini to Mountain Lion when it's available.  After I upgrade, it seems like I should be able to install Lion on my macbook using the license that came with my mini.
    I have found many articles about making a DVD or bootable USB drive to recover, or install Lion onto other macs.  So, I am not tied to the mac app store.  And I am not worried about how to install Lion onto the macbook.
    I have also read a few discussions about upgrading using pre-installed Lion license.  From what I've read, if someone buys Lion through the app store, they can install it on all of their macs.  But, if they have a machine the came with Lion pre-installed they can only use Lion on one machine.  However it is unclear if that license can be transferred to another machine.
    Another common answer that I have seen is, "Don't be cheap!  Just buy Lion throught the app store."  This is not about money, I'm interested in the technical challange, and the leagal question.
    Does anyone have experience with this, or opinions?

    If your machine came with Lion preinstalled, you cannot use it on another machine. It is tied to the machine it came with. You are allowed to make a one time transfer of the OS when you sell the machine as long as it remains with that machine.
    If you purchase Lion from the app store, you are free to install it on as many Macs as you own - however, if/when you sell one of those Macs, you are required to uninstall Lion as the license is not transferable and you need to reinstall the original OS.
    You can read the SLA for yourself - the link to the downloads to all licenses is here:

  • MacBook Pro with Lion pre-installed. How to get installer?

    Ok, so I purchased a shiny new MacBook Pro 15" yesterday, which came with Lion pre-installed.
    I am planning to downgrade to Snow Leopard. Don't ask me why, I just don't want Lion at this time.
    My question is: how do I get a Lion installer, which I can put away somewhere safe until I'm ready to upgrade to Lion again? My MBP came with a Lion license, so I shouldn't have to buy it again, right?
    Any suggestions greatly appreciated!

    No need to buy another license, all you have to do is create a Lion Recovery USB (perhaps 2 for safety)
    1: USB 1+ GB formatted GUID OS X Extended Journaled in Disk Utility
    2: Lion Recovery Disk Assistant > USB
    https://support.apple.com/kb/dl1433
    3: Optional: Carbon Copy Cloner your present Lion OS X partition to a external GUID OS X Extended drive, it's hold the option key bootable.
    (hold option to boot from USB if you need it)

  • My MacBook Pro came with Lion pre-installed so I can't re-download it from the app store. Is it possible to get the installESD.dmg file and how can I get it if I can't re-download Lion in Apple Store option?

    My MacBook Pro came with Lion pre-installed so I can't re-download it from the app store. Is it possible to get the installESD.dmg file and how can I get it if I can't re-download Lion in Apple Store option?

    FYI Mac OS X is not designed to be installed on additional Macs, unless you purchased it from the App Store, in which case you can make as many copies as you wish and install it on as many Macs as you own.
    From the Recovery Disk Assistant -
    Notes
    If the computer shipped with OS X Lion or Mountain Lion, the external recovery drive may only be used with the system that created it.
    If the system was upgraded to Lion or Mountain Lion purchased from the App Store, the external recovery drive can be used with other similarly-upgraded systems.

  • My iMac keyboard not responding in Bootcamp Windows 8 with drivers installed

    Hi,
    I'm using late-2012 27.1 inches iMac and using Apple Wireless Keyboard, I've installed Windows 8 on bootcamp for a long time now, all drivers are working fine, keyboard is also working perfectly. Then one day, I decided to install a new controller driver from a software called DS3 Tool and when I installed the controller driver, the keyboard switches off and not functioning, I went over to the Driver Manager and it says my keyboard is offline, I checked the battery and it is full, i tried restarting, still not functioning, so I tried switch to Mac OSX, the keyboard works flawlessly but in the Bootcamp Windows, it does not. So can anyone help me fix this
    Thank you

  • How to make boot disk for MacBook Pro with Mavericks pre-installed

    Hi -
    I recently bought a new 15" MacBook Pro with Retina Display, which came pre-installed with Mavericks (10.9.0).  I want to make a bootable USB disk of the system software, and have successfly used DiskMaker X (formerly Lion DiskMaker) to make the USB boot disks for Lion and Mountain Lion.  In those cases, however, I was running earlier versions of the OSX, and downloaded the new OSX version -- Lion and Mountain Lion -- from the App Store in order to make to make the disk.  In this case, however, Mavericks was pre-installed, and I was unable to download it from the App Store (an alert said that it couldn't be installed on this computer... presumably because it was already installed).  I would apprecite any suggestions as to how I can create the boot disk without the ability to download Mavericks.  Thanks very much for any help anyone can provide.
    Shelly

    Open App Store and locate the full installer download file (5.29 GBs) for 10.9.1. Download to your computer.
    Make Your Own Mavericks, Mountain/Lion Installer
    After downloading the installer you must first save the Install Mac OS X application. After the installer downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing.
        2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
    Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    After DU loads select your flash drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the leftside list. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list.
    Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to an hour depending upon the flash drive size.
        3. Use DiskMaker X to put your installer clone onto the USB flash drive.
    Make your own Mavericks flash drive installer using the Mavericks tool:
    You can also create a Mavericks flash drive installer via the Terminal. Mavericks has its own built-in installer maker you use via the Terminal:
    You will need a freshly partitioned and formatted USB flash drive with at least 8GBs. Leave the name of the flash drive at the system default, "Untitled." Do not change this name. Open the Terminal in the Utilities folder. Copy this command line after the prompt in the Terminal's window:
    sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app --nointeraction
    Press RETURN. Enter your admin password when prompted. It will not be echoed to the screen so be careful to enter it correctly. Press RETURN, again.
    Wait for the process to complete which will take quite some time.

  • Suspecting my windows 8.1 OS pre installed notebook

    I purchased my notebook on 29-06-2015 With pre installed Windows 8.1. But I didn't find the genuine software label on my notebook. But the retailer told that the software is original. How can I believe with out label. My product ID: M9V07PA#ACJ. Serial no:[Moderator edited Serial]. Warranty: 1y1y0y. Model: 15-ac047TU.

    Hello, Thank you for posting in the HP Support Forum. What you were told is correct. Microsoft changed their mind/policies and since Windows 8 (8.1 +) there are no stickers/labels/COAs no more.The product keys are built inside the computers and the machine will only have a Windows logo. http://www.cnet.com/news/windows-8-moves-to-bios-based-product-keys/ For your information, you can also read these two articles:https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2806745http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/help/genuine/faq

  • Problem with the pre-installed WEATHER application

    Hi,
    I was quite pleased with the Weather app that came installed with my iPod Touch. I tapped in my location, deleted the default one, and all was well. However, after working for a short while just fine it's not stuck constantly on a sunny 28 degrees. If I tap the icon the actual weather report is correct (a miserable gloomy 2 degrees, lol). It's just irritating me that it's stuck on the main screen. Any ideas?
    I have updated to latest firmware and still no good. Can I delete the app at all? Can you delete pre-installed applications? I would try deleting and using a 3rd party app or something if I had to. I'm something of a tidyness freak and it annoys me having so many icons I will never use, haha. I would also like to delete the STOCKS app.
    So in summary - Does anyone know what the problem with my weather app is? And can I delete pre-installed apps?
    Thanks!!

    Safari, YouTube, the iTunes WiFi Store, the App Store and the Camera can be removed from the home screen by enabling Restrictions (Settings->General->Restrictions). Manual, Page 95
    The other original applications cannot be removed, only moved to another page.
    The weather app icon is static 73°F for United States region format or 23°C for United Kingdom region format. Did you switch your region format?

  • Wheres the option to buy laptops with Linux pre installed?

    I've herd of Lenovos good support for Linux, but when I try to surf Lenovos homepage, there's no way to chose a Lenovo without Windows "Genuine" <**bleep**>.
    Tried to use the homepage for Thinkpad and came to this page: http://www.pc.ibm.com/se/thinkpad/
    there's no way I can chose a laptop without that genuine **bleep**.
    Cant you guys give me a break and change this lousy support?
    Sorry for my language, impatience and kind of straight forward-without-soft-asking-and-begging-words.
    Please:
    * Stop "recommend" windows for every product (sounds the same at every PC manufacturers homepage - doesn't sound like its your idea!) Telling us "lies" like that only undermines your reputation. At least tell us what its really about: Microsoft pays us for recommending Windows "anything" for you!
    * Give us the option to remove Windows (and the cost as well)
    * Give us the option to chose Linux pre installed.
    Commit!
