Can a mac running windows with Boot Camp be found by Find My iPhone

I'm running Windows on my MacBook Pro via BootCamp and I'm using the Find My iPhone iCloud app on my iPad. My MacBook Pro cannot be found by Find My iPhone, it's labeled as off-line, even though it's connected to the Internet.
So my question is this: is there a way for Find My iPhone to see my Mac while running Windows. Note, I've already got iCloud for Windows installed on the Windows side of my MacBook Pro (and Find My Mac turned on on the Mac side, and while on the Mac side, it's always found, no problem.)

If FindMyiPhone is enabled, even if the iPhone is off or not on wifi/3G, it will still show in FindMyiPhone under Devices, though it cannot be located.
If it is not showing No Devices, FindMyiPhone is not enabled.
If it does show in Devices and shows Offline, FindMyiPhone is enabled but it is off or not on wifi/3G.
This is one way to remove the activation lock if you do not have the device. Delete it from FindMyiPhone in iCloud.

  • Antivirus for iMac running Windows with Boot Camp

    I am running Windows on my Mac using Boot Camp. If I install an antivirus, will it protect me when I am logged into windows? Or do I need to install an additional antivirus when I am on Windows?

    You only need anti-virus protection for the Windows environment, though this will likely bring out a fire storm of debate.
    The most susceptible system is Windows so protect yourself there.

  • I have a mac book pro with Boot Camp that also runs windows.  I upgraded to Lion and somehow it crashes the mac side peridoically.  I am told I need to "clean" it and reinstall lion using the recovery drive.  will that delete the windows partition too??

    I have a mac book pro with Boot Camp that also runs windows.  I upgraded to Lion and now the mac side crashes/freezes periodically, especially iphoto.  I am told by the genius' that I probably need to "clean" it and reinstall lion using the "recovery drive" which resets everything back to default and reinstalls the lion operating system.  My question is will this also delete the "windows" partition drive and all that data too.  If so that will be a huge pain in the ___ to back up and reinstall boot camp and windows. I want to shoot the lion.

    There is no system like Acronis for the Mac platform. You can try using the buiilt in Disk Utility to create an Image of the complete Mac drive but I have found that this does not work very well as on tryiing to restore it gives errors sometimes.
    You can use SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner to create a bootable Clone of your system partition. But that is only for the System partition and not the complete drive.
    If you use Boot Camp to install Windows on your Mac neither of those two programs will clone the Windows side.
    Neither will Disk utility as Mac's can not create or write to a NTFS partition. So some other program is need for that.

  • I can't access the internet with boot camp -- windows 7

    Just bought the computer yesterday (15 inch mac book pro) and installed windows 7 with boot camp.  I have a wireless network with a comcast modem and apple ariport extremes.  The macs (including the new mac book pro when not running windows) and a different windows computer can reach the internet fine using the wireless network.  When I run windows through boot camp it can't find the network.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Glad it has a simple cure

  • Problem on early 2009 iMac with OS 10.5.8 500gb hdd after uninstalling Windows with boot camp there is still no more disc space available

    I had a partioned HDD 250 gb Mac and 250 gb Windows. I have uninstalled Windows with boot camp but still dont have the extra 250 gb available. What to do now?

    You need to remove the partition you created when you set up BootCamp.

  • Problems installing Windows with Boot Camp

    Hello,
    i am having this strange issue with boot camp. i have my windows 7 install dvd and go through all the standard boot camp procedure's, but once its finished partitioning the disk and restarts it just opens up to the apple logo on a grey screen, no spining logo, no status bar, nothing! ive left it for 6 hours on this screen 2-3 times now and nothing is happening. when i turn off and on again it just goes to a black screen telling me to install a bootable device and press any key. BUT THE INSTAL DISC IS IN!!! its driving me insane!
    windows was burned to a dvd using disc aid and the .iso copied over fine and was verified and everything. the machine im trying to get this to run on is a 15 mbp 2.66 i7. the optical drive has been replaced with a 120gb ssd and there is a 1tb internal sitting in the hdd bay. i dont know if that has any relavance to this issue? i boot osx 10.7 (mountain lion) off the ssd and am trying to boot camp my hdd, but that couldent cause issues could it?
    ive had a look around the other disscussions and fourums for 4 days now and i think i have seen nearly every bootcamp related youtube video there is! AND IT STILL DOSENT WORK!
    if any one has ANY idea or sugesstion on how i can rectify this issue it would be greatly appriceated.
    thanks for your time!
    Harry.

    "You can't do both boot drive and storage drive on the same drive.
    A boot drive requires (all data off first) it to be formatted GUID and OSX Extended Journaled, then OS X installed, then option key at boot to select that HD OS X boot drive, then BootCamp proceedure ran and install into the partition it creates on the HD."
    THANKS AGAIN, i think im getting closer to a solution, i really dident think that simple old bootcamp could become so complicated!.
    so i couldent (boot off the ssd as normal) and then create a seperate partition on the hdd of about 30gb, install osx on it, boot from that (with the optical bay back inside), create a thrid partition on the hdd via bootcamp then instal windows?
    its just that erasing and reformating the hdd sounds a bit scary, its taken months of getting the permissions and fixing rouge ubd processes all right so everything works perfectly and seamlessly together with the ssd+hdd combo
    "You can replace the data back into OS X on the HD and use that as extra storage, but your main use OS X user(s) needs to remain on the boot SSD.
    To do this you need to use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the OS X boot partition of the SSD to the blank/empty of data HD, this will copy all the Users accounts accuratly so you can access them from the SSD.
    As you can see here, I can access the same user folders of my cloned partition from the original partition, no "-" minus signs on the folders as I'm the exact same user.
    I am currently booted into Macintosh HD and accessing my same named user folder on the clone on Macintosh HD 2.
    So basically OS X on HD will become your new "Storage Drive"
    this is pretty much exactly how im set up at the moment! with the user account and applications on the SSD and libarys like iphoto, itunes etc are on the HDD and i symlinked some others like the downloads off to the hdd aswell.
    thanks for your help again, ive given you some more stars for your time!

  • Starting Windows with Boot Camp

    Forgive my ignorance, I'm new to this. I think this is a simple question. I installed Boot Camp, and when I'm in Windows there's an icon at the bottom that I can click to switch to Mac. But when I'm in Mac how do I switch to Windows? There's nothing on the desktop.

    To use Windows in boot-camp you need to go into *System Preferences* and choose *Startup Disk* Choose your Windows partition and click restart. The Mac has to reboot to get to windows.

  • Installing windows with boot camp

    i have a legal windows xp cd with sp2 in good condition and i am trying to install it on the 35gig partition i made with boot camp, however every time the installation gets to 53% during the copying files phase, it cannot copy a certain file and stops. i tried skipping the file in the installation to no avail. i am running out of ideas if anyone knows what might help.

    Are you running Leopard or Tiger? This is posted in the Tiger forums. I believe the only version of Boot Camp for Tiger was a beta version for which the license has expired, although [this MacWorld article|http://www.macworld.com/article/61249/2007/11/bootcamp.html] says existing partitions made before the end of the license will continue to work.

  • How do I get Windows XP onto my new mac running lion when boot camp only gives me the option for windows 7

    Hi   I have been trying to partition my hard drive on my new Mac so that I can run some windows specific programs and I wanted to use Windows Xp because I beleive it to be suitable for my needs + becuase its now an older OS it's cheaper.
    My version of Mac is running the Lion operating system and when I start up the boot camp assitant I only get the option to install windows 7. If I proceed and put in the XP installer disc I get a message "Installer disc not found- insert disc and wait a few moments".
    The Xp disc is supposed to be a full version- at least thats what the guy who sold it to me claims, anyone any solutions on how to proceed or do I have to buy Windows 7?
    Chris

    With OSX Lion Apple has removed support for Windows XP and Windows Vista from BootCamp.
    That leasves only Windows 7 as a viable option to use.
    You can however use Virtualization apps like the free VirtualBox to install and run XP on your Mac.
    Commercial ones are Parallels and VMWare Fusion.

  • Time in my mac changes after switching to Windows with Boot camp

    Hi there..
    I don't know whether this is normal, but every time I switch from Windows back to Mac OS (Using Boot camp-all versions I've tried have this flaw, it hasn't appeared in case of Parallels), system time changes in one hour ahead. Can anybody explain this to me, is it something that can't change or just a flaw in Boot camp, waiting to be corrected? What should I do to prevent it from doing so again?
    Thanx everyone

    ok.. though you might've answered my question, is there any solution to this issue? Though I don't know what dst flag in windows is, I noticed that my time zone is in both cases set to gmt+1, which could possibly cause the switching in one hour ahead... but I wonder can I solve it not by setting the option to gmt 0? In that case the automatic correcting of my changed time via the internet would be in my opinion better than actually 'solving' it by setting my time in both OS' to gmt 0, which would mean that in wouldn' be corrected in a correct way via internet any more... so what do you think, is just letting it be the only solution i can consider?

  • Can I partition my external hard drive so that one partition is for Time Machine and the other is to install Windows with Boot Camp?

    I have a Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex 1TB USB 3.0 external hard drive that I currently use just for Time Machine backups.  Is it possible for me to go into Disk Utility and create a new partition on the drive so that I may install Windows 7 via Boot Camp? Or since I am already using it for Time Machine do I have to keep it only for Time Machine?

    You must install Boot Camp in your internal drive because Windows can't be installed in an external disk and Boot Camp can't do that

  • Can I Install PC-BSD with Boot Camp?

    Vorrei sapere come installare Pc-BSD tramite Boot Camp e scegliere quale OS far partire al Boot del mio Mac...
    Grazie...

    Can I install PC-BSD with BootCamp?
    Apple only seemlessly supports Windows Vista, 7 and 8 in BootCamp with drivers etc.
    Anything else in BootCamp (Linux, BSD etc.,) are hacks that requires a customized (and problematic) EFI bootloader like so installed.
    http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/
    Then more work involved to get things to work as Apple doesn't supply drivers etc., for their hardware.
    Since PC-BSD is based on  FreeBSD.
    http://www.pcbsd.org/en/download.html
    https://wiki.freebsd.org/AppleMacbook
    So if your computer geek it can be done, if your not then you should consider another option.
    You can install PC-BSD into VirtualBox, a free virtual machine enviorment and run it in a window in OS X. Not as powerful as a full install, but good enough for many uses and easier to get out of trouble and not into it via the above dangerous methods.
    https://www.virtualbox.org/
    PC-BSD is based upon FreeBSD, so you use that as your setup in VirtualBox.
    Posso installare PC-BSD con BootCamp? 
    Perfettamente solo Apple supporta Windows Vista, 7 e 8 in BootCamp con driver ecc.
    Niente altro in BootCamp (Linux, BSD, ecc.) sono hack che richiede un bootloader EFI personalizzato (e problematico) come così installato.
    http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/
    Quindi più lavoro coinvolti per ottenere le cose a lavorare come Apple non fornisce i driver ecc, per il loro hardware.
    Dal momento che PC-BSD è basato su FreeBSD.
    http://www.pcbsd.org/en/download.html
    https://wiki.FreeBSD.org/AppleMacbook
    Quindi, se il vostro geek computer può essere fatto, se non la tua, allora si dovrebbe prendere in considerazione un'altra opzione.
    Si può installare PC-BSD in VirtualBox, un ambiente di macchina virtuale gratuito ed eseguito in una finestra in OS X. Non così potente come un'installazione completa, ma abbastanza buono per molti usi e più facile ottenere fuori dai guai e non in esso tramite i suddetti metodi pericolosi.
    https://www.VirtualBox.org/
    PC-BSD è basato su FreeBSD, così che si utilizza come vostra installazione in VirtualBox.

  • Boot Back Into Windows With Boot Camp

    Hello,
    I am running Boot Camp on a Mac Book Pro. It runs extremely well except for one issue. When the mac goes to sleep for a short time minutes to a few hours, and I click a button, the Windows screen is there ready to use. But, if it sleeps over night, I can not click a button to wake it, I have to click the power button and wait for the boot cycle again holding down the option button so I can choose the Windows drive again. Am I missing something is settings so no matter how long the system sleeps it will wake back into the last running operating system?
    Thanks Jr

    Check on the hibernate settings by going to the advanced power options as posted by Loner T above. Look under the sleep heading, see pic.
    While sleep puts your work and settings in memory and draws a small amount of power, hibernation puts your open documents and programs on your hard disk, and then turns off your computer.
    It can be disabled.  http://support.microsoft.com/kb/920730

  • Graphic problem in Windows with Boot Camp?

    I only just noticed this today when I was editing some pictures in Photoshop using Windows (Boot Camp). My version is Windows 8 64-bit and the Photoshop is CS 6 but I suspect the same thing would happen even if I were using Windows 7.
    Whenever I view an image in Firefox, Chrome, Windows Picture Viewer or any other program besides Photoshop, the image is always displayed as it is and appears as crisp and sharp as it should. For example, if I load a picture that's 600x600 pixels outside of Photoshop, it would look exactly like it is - at 600x600.
    But once I open it in Photoshop, and if it happens to be a very big picture (which it is for me, most of the time), the picture would look resized (i.e. smaller), but the Photoshop navigator would still say it's displayed at 100% magnification. So a 2000x2000 picture would basically look half its real size but still be at a zoom setting of 100% according to Photoshop.
    That in itself isn't the problem, but trying to edit/crop the image is. If I were to select a part of the picture and resize it to, say, 100x100 pixels, the final image would be a bit blurry, even if I save it at "most high" quality. That obviously makes my image "un-usable" because the quality is so terrible. This doesn't happen at all on a computer without retina display but on mine it makes the task of editing images in Photoshop frustrating and pointless.
    I really think it's an issue with retina display's native resolution not being supported in any version of Windows, so I'm hoping anyone who uses a Macbook Pro RD, Windows AND Photoshop could help me get around this problem.

    Did you grab and install the graphic driver from Nvidia?
    Apple or even Microsoft driver are not always the best.
    Boot Camp 5.0 drivers to start just to enable the various chipsets and basic support.

    I see a black screen or distortion when I install Windows 8 on a MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2012). How do I fix this?
    The Windows 8 installer does not contain the correct graphics driver for your computer. You'll need to attach the USB media that contains the Boot Camp drivers during installation to address this issue. See this article for more information.

    Windows 8, Thunderbolt devices are being recognized when I connect in. How do I fix this?
    Disable the Windows 8 Fast Boot feature to allow Thunderbolt devices to be recognized. See Boot Camp: Thunderbolt devices not recognized after Windows 8 upgrade for instructions.

    Also with any GTX you may want to see if there is a CUDA driver as well.
    Intel HD Graphics 4000
    NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 1GB of GDDR5 memory and automatic graphics switching
    Dual display and video mirroring: Simultaneously supports full native resolution on the built-in display and up to 2560 by 1600 pixels on up to two external displays, at millions of colors
    Also, Intel 4000 graphic driver, switching between Intel HD and Nvidia has been a problem.
    From my (now old) notes:
    I had problems with windows 7 after the installation using boot camp. The GT 650M was not showing up as the graphics adapter. I fixed the problem by inserting my windows support software CD a second time. I did not let it use auto run.  I went into the Windows 7 directory and then into the Nvidia directory and ran setup.exe. This installed the Nvidia drivers for me. If this works correctly, you will have an Nvidia control panel available to you. I set the resolution to 2880x1800. I also set windows to 200% magnification.
    I think what happens is that after you install windows, and then run the windows support CD, the main boot camp setup script seems to stop on the nvidia driver install--everything else installed correctly.
