Can Bootcamp run on the new fusion drives?
I'm interested in hearing from people who had a success with installing Bootcamp on the new fusion drives. I read a lot of the challenges in the beginning. i'm considering af new iMac with 1tb fusion and wont buy if I cant run the Windows Bootcamp for games.
So what are you saying?
Do computers that come with a Fusion Drive support Boot Camp?
Yes. Use the Boot Camp Assistant to create a Windows partition and install Boot Camp. The Windows partition will exist on the hard disk drive, not the Flash drive, and is not part of Fusion Drive Logical Volume Group. 3TB Fusion Drive configurations need to update to OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.3 or later to install Windows 8. See iMac (27-inch, Late 2012): Boot Camp alert with 3TB hard drive for more information.

my hard drive crashed on my MacBook Pro crashed and I need to get my CS5 up and running on the new hard drive. I copied what I could onto an external hard drive but when I drag and drop I get directions to uninstall but the uninstall folder I have does says it is an alias that is no longer present. I get error 6. I would like to get my software up and running on the laptop again please
If you subscribed to iTunes match the songs are kept in icloud. If you didn't but you did save the actual iTunes library folder which should include the music, video, etc. you should be able to just drag this file back to your machine in the same place and when you open iTunes it will give you a chance to identify the iTunes library folder.
You can test this to find out if you saved the media files or not and don't need to attach your nano to do it.
You are correct that once you connect the nano it will clear the existing files from it and sync it with the new iTunes library.
If you don't have the media files i'm not sure if/how to get them back on a windows ipod. I have everything backed up regularly because of the horror stories I have seen & heard. -
Will Bootcamp work with the 3T fusion drive with the Mountain Lion update?
The notes on the update say it will work with the 3T drive but in typical minimalist fashion, Apple doesn't mention whether that includes the 3T fusion drive. Why can't they just explain things fully?
anyway, does anyone have an answer?I installed 10.8.2 update today with my 2012 MBA. The details of the update include: Resolves a video issue with some VGA projectors when connected to certain Mac notebooks.
I tried using the MBA with a video projector and it found the correct resolution and connected with the projector automatically. Using detect displays in the disoplay preference pane wasn't even necessary.
I hope this is the fix I have been waiting for with the 2012 MBA.
Thank you Apple.

Can FCP run on the new XServes?
I know XServes used to be a problem bec of the graphics card, but new XServe has a ATI Radeon X1300 PCI Express.
In the specs for FCP it says "AGP Quartz Extreme or PCI Express graphics card"
But the X1300 is not on the list of FCP minimum or recommended cards.

Can I run use the traditional NIDAQ Driver with PCI-6259 M
I'm trying to run the Matlab signal processing toolox with my PCI-6259 M series DAQ card. I know that
I can't use the DAQmx driver and Matlab signal processing toolbox together. NI is obviously in competition with
Mathworks b/c there aren't any mathworks products listed although VB are listed. Is there a way I can use the traditional NI-DAQ driver with my card. Yes, I've read the discussion about using the NI commands in Matlab using a the dll. I have signal processing toolbox and I want to use it b/c it's a lot easier.
Thanksnsm...
Unfortunately the answer is no, you can't use the 6259 with Traditional DAQ. It is only supported in DAQmx

The new fusion drive. I read here that you couldn't add an external hard drive to it. Maybe, I missunderstood it, but that dosn't make sense. Please clear this up for me. I want to get one along with a Time capsule and us my existing hard drives.
A computer with a Fusion drive has no issues with external drives. My new iMac has three connected to it. The warning you read about refers to something else.
A fusion drive doesn't have to be bought from Apple. If you have an SSD and a hard drive you can create your own. The warning you read about is that you should not pair an external drive and an internal drive to create a fusion drive because it would be too easy to disconnect the external drive accidentally which would be a minor - if not major - disaster. -
Can I configure Mac Mini with Fusion drive AND a secondary internal 1tb HD?
I am about to order an new Mac Mini, and would like to have the speed of the new fusion drive, but would also like to have the option of adding a secondary internal 1TB hard drive.
I know I can add an external HD, but I really like the increased speed, and access times of an internal HD.
Secondly, since I am about to make this purchase, I am curious if there is any word on the street about any dramatic upgrades or changes to the Mini due to come out at the June conference, or in the fall?
Thanks for the input.
MarkThe only clue you really have about possible upgrades, is to look at the product cycle in the past.
The average product cycle for the Mac Mini is 381 days, the last upgrade was 209 days ago, so it's not very likely we'll see a major update in june.
you can look at product cycles of mac mini (and apple products in general) on this page:

keep in mind this is a website based on rumors, only Apple knows. -
My new 27" 1Tb fusion drive iMac has arrived and I am planning on setting it up over the next couple of days. I chose not to migrate my data from my old Time Machine backup as I want to start afresh so before selling my old MacBook I copied all the data I wanted to transfer onto an external drive into organised folders. I now want to import theses file to the new imac. I have a 25Gig iPhoto library, a 74Gig music folder, plus around 120Gig of video, documents, Logic Pro and Garage band files that I want to keep on the internal drive. I also have around 600Gig of iMovie files that I will keep on external scratch drives which don't need to go on the internal drive. I am not going to use migration assistant as that all went wrong last time, I will just drag the folders from the external drive on to the imac's internal drive.
Is there an order that I should import all of this when migrating to the new Fusion Drive so as not to clog up the SSD part with files that don't need to be accessed often or speedily, i.e. photos and iTunes media files? I know that the fusion software somehow sorts it all out in the background but I want to know that the type of files that will most benefit from SSD speed will live on that part of the drive.
Or, will it just sort itself out no matter what order I import?Contact Apple's Express Lane and ask them, It's their new technology and they're responsible for providing the salient details.

How do I transfer my checked songs from one computer to another - tried exporting library playlist etc but no luck! Please help! I have 26,000 songs - 17,000 are selected and I can't run down the list on my new computer and re-check 17,000 songs! Thanks!
Make a smart playlist of your whole library but only checked songs - #4 on http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1801
Highlight all files in that playlist, then drag to the other drive. This isn't preserving any playlists or whatever, just copying files from one drive to another.
You might want to delete the smart playlist this once you are done because it will probably gobble up resources with that many files. -
I am running Windows XP.
my firefox deleted the existing adobe flash player 10.3.183.7 BUT I'm unable to download the new flash drive 10.3.183.10. Now I can't play anything. Can I go back to the old flash player (10.3.183.7)?''There is something wrong with the download that Adobe is pointing too. You can get the working download here:
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/win/install_flash_player_10.exe
That solved my problem immediately.
I got this info from this post on the Adobe forum:

Flash Download Problems
WindowsXP SP3
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:6.0.2) Gecko/20110902 SeaMonkey/2.3.3
(Note well: Internally, SeaMonkey 2.3.3 is the same as Firefox 6.0.2. They both use the same Gecko 6.0.2 for rendering Web pages, interfacing with the Internet, downloading, etc.) They differ only in the user interface (menus, buttons, etc).
I see two problems when trying to download a new version of Flash Player from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/. .
1. Your Web server is sniffing for my browser. I select the "Download now" button, and I get the same page all over again. The navigation is looping. If I spoof Firefox 6.0.2, however, I do get a download. This means you are sniffing for "Firefox" when you should be sniffing for "Gecko".
2. While spoofing Firefox, the download gives me install_flashplayer10_chrd_aih.exe, which is not the installer for Flash Player 10.3.183.10. Instead, it is some kind of helper. To get the correct installer file, I had to search my archives to find the URI http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/win /install_flash_player_10.exe.
Both of these problems were previously cited in this forum at http://forums.adobe.com/message/3885371. Neither problem has been fixed. -
How do I save and import my bookmarks from another hard drive? When I try to open the installed Firefox on the old drive, it (obviously) opens a browser from the new main drive, free of bookmarks. Is there a way I can save the bookmarks on the old drive without opening a browser?
The guts of my computer were rearranged and I got a new main hard drive. My old one is still in there and I can get stuff from it, but when I go to the Mozilla folder on the old one, I can't figure out if there's anything I can do to get all my bookmarks from that drive to my new one, where Firefox is newly installed.If you open Firefox then Firefox will always use the default profile folder as found via profiles.ini on your system drive.
You either need to import the file in your current default profile or copy the file to your current profile folder while Firefox is closed.
Firefox 3 stores the bookmarks and the browser history in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/places.sqlite places.sqlite] and no longer creates an HTML backup by default.
There are also (five) JSON backups in the bookmarkbackups folder within the Firefox profile folder.
You can either copy the file places.sqlite to your [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] or import the most recent JSON backup from the bookmarkbackups folder of that old profile.

Where can I buy a larger hard drive for my late 2008, 15" macbook pro? From reviewing questions and answers on the support community it would appear that having Apple remove the old and install the new hard drive is recommended. But how/where?
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You can install the new hard disk yourself if you want to. You just need a 2'5" SATA II hard drive, which is compatible with your MacBook Pro. You can buy one at OWC > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/ You can filter hard drives by computer, so press a "Click to view all...", choose your computer in the sidebar and it will give you the compatible hard drives.
There are different brands for the MacBook Pro. The most recommended are HGST and Seagate, which have good reputation. A 7200 rpm hard drive will give you extra performance -
I lost my iTunes library on my pc when the hard drive crashed. None of the data on the drive was recoverable and I did not have a backup either locally or on the cloud. Much of the music is from old vinyl and podcasts which are no longer available.
How can I get the music that resides on my ipod nano (4th generation) back onto the new hard drive on my pc.
I have been reluctant to install iTunes on the new hard drive out of fear that I will lose all the contents on the ipod if I try to synch to the new hard drive.
Help!No backup is a huge mistake.
You can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:

Hi All,
My hard drive crashed and is no longer usable. I just installed a new drive however, I am not finding any way to export my recorded CD's from the Ipod touch to the new hard drive. Can anyone help please? I thought by enabling syc with Ipod woudl do it but to no avail.
ThanksI used a 3rd party program called copytrans http://www.copytrans.net/ that is not free to move my library from my ipod to my itunes library when I had to start from scratch. After that happened I started backing up my music that purchased from the itunes store to a dvd so I would always have it if things went south. Now I always backup my purchased digital music to an optical disc just in case plus everythng else I have is on retail cd's so I can just rebuild my library from scratch again if I have to. You should also regularly back up your itunes media folder to another disc so your entire library will be backed up just in case you should lose your program drive.
