  • Can't install Windows on my iMac with 16 Go !

    Hello !
    I bought an iMac i7 3.4 GHz SSD + 1TB drive and 4GB of ram. I replaced the 4 GB of RAM with 16 GB purchased from Crucial (4 strips 4GB with a priori the same features as the apple strips which are Samsung ...).
    Everything is fine when I use Mac OS 10.6.8. No memory problem.
    By cons, can not install Windows 7 32 bit or 64. An error occurs during the installation process : 0x80070570. After a little research on the forums, it is an error that may be due to a corrupted media - for example broken record - but this is not the case : my window installed itself perfectly on another computer.
    The experience of other users evokes an error caused by memory. So I reinstalled my original bars of 2 GB. And there, no problem of installation. Windows is working properly. After reinstalling Windows, I replaced my memory with my 4 bars crucial,"and there is the drama." Windows becomes unstable : crashes, errors of registration,software installation... useless... I run a diagnostic memory test that went smoothly ! Obviously, the memory does not seem corrupted, especially since it works well on Mac OS 10.6.8.
    So I decided to link the two strips origins (2 GB each) with two crucial strips (4 GBeach), a total of 12 GB of ram. And it works.
    Do you have an explanation for this problem? Do you know how I can install Windows with my 16 GB crucial?
    Thank you.

    You make no mention of how your are attempting to install MS Windows so it's a little tough to help you. If  you are using Boot Camp please use Boot Camp Assistant and if you still have problems please post in the Boot Camp forum. If you are using virtualization software (Fusion, Parallels etc.) then use the instructions that came with their software and if you still have difficulty please post in their forums.

  • How Can I install Windows on my iMac??

    Hi There! I wanted to ask that how can i install windows 7 64-bit on my imac as i wanted to use some softwares and also, play some games that are not there on osx. Please tell my how to do this. I have a 2007 24-inch iMac with the following specs-
    Intel Core2 Duo CPU@ 2.40GHz
    4GB RAM (That i Upgraded Myself)
    Radeon HD2600 Pro Graphics, 256MB
    320GB HDD
    OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion

    Your Mid 2007 iMac has got a 64-bit processor that allows you to install a 64-bit Windows 7 version, but Apple doesn't give you support for it in your iMac. Only Late 2009 and newer iMacs are supported by Apple to install a 64-bit version. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    My advice is to install a 32-bit Windows 7 version, although you will probably not be able to use all the RAM. Follow Apple's steps to install Windows > http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.8.pdf
    If you still want to install a 64-bit Windows 7 version, do it, but note that it won't work properly as there are no Apple drivers for it

  • How i install Windows 8 on my iMac whit, How i install Windows 8 on my iMac with all drivers working well?

    Hi,
    I just want to know if bootcamp allready supports windows 8 with all drivers working like magic mouse gestures, the optic drive, sd card, USB ports, bluetooth al patches are working fine and if all is working ok how to intall, if is a normal bootcamp installation or requires other procedure
    Thank you

    The Windows 7 drivers worked perfectly for me on my Early-2011 Core i5 MBP.
    It's not officially supported by Apple yet as it's pre-release software, but you can install it without any problems.

  • Can I install Windows on my iMac 27, 3TB Fusion Drive, late-2012 with Boot Camp 5?

    Hello. When I first opened the Boot Camp Assistant app, it said it could not work with the 3TB fusion drive. With the updated version of Boot Camp, the option to install Windows appeared. I tried to install Windows 8, but the loading bar stopped moving. I waited for hours, but it still did not move. I decided to quit the app, and re-open it, in order to try again. It crashed, and would not open. So I restarted my system and when I did that I noticed that I had about 1GB or so left of storage. This shocked me, because the disk was just suddenly filled for some reason. In hopes of fixing this I used an app called 'CleanMyMac' to try and recover the disk space. And as I thought the disk space returned to normal. However when I went to Disk Utility and clicked 'repair disk' it said this...
    There is only 1 partition, so the Boot Camp process did fail.
    I don't know whats wrong with my system though? I would like to install Windows, but I'm worried that I might recieve errors again. I have not got Apple Care, but I'm playing on buying it soon, due to it being almost a year since I bought the system.
    Maybe I did something wrong when trying to install Windows with Boot Camp? I don't know, but if possible can someone please tell me if I can install Windows and if something is wrong with my system.
    Here is some additional screen shots of the type of system I have.
    Thank you for your help with this issue!

    Which copy or version of Windows? and how where was it purchased?
    my window installed itself perfectly on another computer.
    One copy and you want to activate on two computers?
    With 16GB, it will try to create 16GB hibernation file, 24GB page file, and need 20-30GB for the OS, plus room for temp, cache, applications, 9GB just temp to install SP1 update(s). 
    did you create 80GB or larger partition?
    also, some macs with ssd + hard drive have issues, and of course you need Windows 7 64-bit home premium (Pro to use more).
    OWC has up to 32GB, not cheap.

  • How can I install windows 7 on imac 27 late 2012

    I wanted to install windows 7 64 bit on a iMac 27 inch late 2012. Everything went smooth until it restarts. Then I get the following message.

    3. Windows
    4. EFI Boot
    I choose option 3 (Windows). But i got the following message.

  • How can I install windows XP in my Macbook using bootcamp?

    I`ve just bought my mackbook Pro and I`m student of engineering. I`d like to install windows XP in my macbook to use some especifics softwares! But when I use bootcamp, Mac just gives me the option to install Windows 7? How can I install Windows XP? Thanks at all!

    Bootcamp 4 which ships with Lion doesn't support XP or Vista, only 7.  Try using Parallels or VMWare instead.

  • I can't install Windows 8.1 on my Imac with Mavericks using Bootcamp. Why?

    I can't install Windows 8.1 on my Imac 27" with Mavericks using Bootcamp. Why? I first did all the software updates needed, downloaded the driver software to a 32Gb flash drive formatted as FAT32, fired up Bootcamp Assistant, inserted the Windows 8.1 Full version 64 bit installation DVD as requested, and got as far as partitioning (tried this at 82 Gb for the Windows partition), then the MAC rebooted but halted before getting to the login page. Then a black screen came up with the error message: 'non-system disk - Press any key to reboot'. I did this and nothing happened. I was forced to shut down forcibly then restart with my finger held down on the option key. Then a screen came up with two icons: the macintosh HD icon and the Windows DVD icon. I double-clicked on the Windows DVD icon and the MAC came up with another black screen and error message: 'CDBoot: Couldn't find BOOTMGR'. Had to shut down forcibly again and restart as before, this time ejecting the Windows DVD first. Then I repartitioned my MAC back to all OSX. What the **** do I do now? Applecare couldn't help me beyond this point. They said to contact Microsoft. I notice a lot of other MAC owners have had similar problems.
    Please help? tagjsmith.

  • Can i install windows 7 on my iMac 2012 using a external drive

    Can i install windows 7 on my imac 2012 using a external cd drive ?
    Thanks

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    If you have a Late 2012 iMac (without a built-in SuperDrive), you can use a USB drive to install Windows with Boot Camp and you shouldn't have any problem

  • Hi, can I install windows XP with bootcamp on my iMac which is now on Maverick? Please help.

    Hello all, can I install windows XP with bootcamp on my iMac which is now on Maverick? Please advise. Thank you.

    Install 7. Don't bother with applying drivers and such, just reboot again from DVD and install again, it will see the existing system and this time activation will be possible.
    Vista is mess, takes longer etc. Hope you have SP1 version of 7. And for Vista, only SP2+ are even supported now, by MS.

  • Can i install windows 7 with bootcamp on imac with flash storage

    can i install windows 7 with bootcamp on imac with flash storage

    Yes, you can. The type of storage on which you install is not relevant, as long as it is connected to an 'internal' storage control. Windows licensing restricts its installation on external/portable disks. Windows-to-go is the only legal means to do that.

    Windows on Intel Macs
    There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
    1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software.  Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7.  Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows.  Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
    2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    3. VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows.  The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
    5. VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.  It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
    Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc.  There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization.  The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
    You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

  • How can I install windows 8 on a mac without superdrive?

    Hi there.
    I have an old Macbook pro (early 2007) which is still quite good, except from the superdrive which got broken.
    I would like to completely wipe out OSX (Lion) from that and install Windows 8 instead.
    Problem is, I cannot install it from optical drive, since it's broken (and plus, I don't have access to an external drive).
    Is it even possible to install windows 8 from USB on this computer? If so, what should I do?
    Thank you!

    You can only install Windows from an external disc drive or an USB drive in one of these computers:
    - MacBook Pro with Retina display.
    - MacBook Air.
    - iMac (Late 2012).
    - Mac mini (Mid 2010 and newer).
    As you don't have any of these computers, you need the SuperDrive to install Windows 8. In your case, you have to install a SuperDrive in your MacBook Pro in order to install Windows by using Boot Camp
