Device I/O Error with Windows on Macbook Pro

I have a friend who has the newest Macbook Pro Unibody Laptop. I have a Macbook Pro as well. He just got his laptop and tried using boot camp to install Windows XP Home. When it was copying the files to the hard drive after formatting, I had to keep telling it to retry copying the files. It would say it couldn't so retry, skip, or cancel and i would retry with each file. It would do this many many times before it would finish copying all the files. At first, everytime I would try and boot into windows, right after the windows screen, it would give me a BSOD. SO we erased that partition and tried again except this time, we got into where Windows finishes installing and you can set it up and it had a device i/o error and it would not proceed.
He went out and bought Parallels Desktop 6, we tried on that VM and it gave us the same Device I/O error.
When he bought the computer, the CD drive made a loud buzzing noise. He called into support and they had him hold control, option, and shift to reset the drives. The noise is fixed, but I think the problem has something to do with the CD drive. He just wants to be able to run Windows one way or another. Thanks for any help in advance.

Depends what you want to do...
http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/10/02/09/parallelstakes_virtualization_speed_crown_in_head_to_head_withvmware.html
http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
start by backing up, use Boot CAmp Assistant and install 7 and get it up to date and your OS X DVD to install the Apple Boot CAmp 3 drivers installed and updated. Then whatever you need and intended to use, along with Microsoft Security Essentials.
Then you can use it natively, or inside OS X using Parallels.
If you just want a VM, no need to go through installing Windows on its own hard drive with Boot Camp.

WEP working with Windows and Macbook Pro - NOT with G4 laptop

In order to get a Windows laptop connected to my home network, I changed over to WEP Encryption and have gotten the Windows laptop, my Macbook Pro, and another Powerbook G4 to connect - however, when I try to connect the other remaining G4 laptop, a 400mhz PowerPC running an Airport card with firmware v.9.52 doesn't give me the pulldown option for WEP (only WPA) and I am, therefore, unable to input the password that is working on my other computers.
Thoughts? Solutions?
Thanks.

MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Hi Don,
Thanks for your response. The articles were informative, but here's what's odd about my situation:
I understand passwords, etc. I've been running WPA/WPA2 encryption on my all-Apple Network. It worked great. When I brought home the WindowsXP laptop, I changed the network over to WEP and not only did the Windows laptop get signal, but 2 of my 3 Macs did as well. When I started up the "upstairs" G4 Powerbook and sought out my network the Airport Internet Connect did not give me a WEP option in the pulldown menu, so I was unable to log in. All I really need to do is determine how to get the older G4 Powerbook to see WEP where it only sees WPA. (Ultimately, I switched back so my wife could use her computer. It may just be easier for me to try to configure the Windows Laptop to a WPA/WPA2 network.
Thanks again for your thoughts on this.

Failed Logic Board with April 2010 MacBook Pro?

I went to the Genius Bar today to ask about repeated Kernel Errors with my 2010 MacBook Pro. The person who helped me said that the logic board was failing because of the graphics card and that it would cost $310 to repair.
My Mac is an A1286 model with NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M 256 MB Graphics.
Reading about Macs with NVIDIA graphics I immidately found that there were issues with the generation prior to my Mac, 2007-2008 Macs with NVIDIA 8600M GT.
So what I want to know is have any other Mac users had issues with their 2010 Macs and their graphics cards? My Mac has always run hot (too hot to actually use as a laptop because it turns my legs red!) and I figured it was just the nature of the machine. I now have one USB drive that is slowly failing (doesn't like my mouse). I haven't had any weird graphics issues, just the random restarts and a freeze now and then.

My March 2010 15" Macbook Pro's logic board just failed. Here's my report:

Sometimes you have to reset the SMC two or three times for it to work, don't know why. I've seen that error message before and 100% of the time it was fixed with an SMC reset. I suppose it's possible that your keyboard or mouse IS drawing too much power, do you have access to another you could try?

maybe your spdif default properties, in the supported format tab, options there are configured too high for your revceiver???
is there an error code on your receiver? if there is an error code check the troubleshooting section in the manual your receiver came with.
you could also try in windows media center, go to the tasks->settings and click windows media center setup->setup your speakers for 5.1 and hit the test button..

How can I sync my iPhone 4 with a new MacBook Pro without losing all my data and settings?

I used to sync my iPhone 4 with a PC running Windows XP until the hard drive died. Thankfully, I already had a backup of all my iTunes media (Songs, TV Shows, Movies, Podcasts, Apps, etc), so when I bought a new MacBook Pro, transferring my iTunes library was easy.
My problem now is that I want to sync my iPhone 4 with my new MacBook Pro without losing all the data and settings. I have already used iTunes to back it up and transfered my purchases onto the mac. I just need help to sync the iPhone with the Mac without losing app data, emails, contacts, settings.
Everytime I click on the tabs (to sync contacts, apps, music, et al), I get an error message that reads:
"Are you sure you want to sync apps? All existing apps and their data on the iPhone “Ryan's iPhone” will be replaced with apps from this iTunes library."
What do I do? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

(Trouble printing) Trouble with connection between Macbook Pro and Hp Deskjet 1510.

Trouble with connection between Macbook Pro and Hp Deskjet 1510. (Nothing Prints).
I have a Macbook Pro and am having difficulty printing documents from ‘Pages' from my Hp Deskjet 1510. I have installed the necessary software for the printer and it is connected via USB. Every time I try to print the printer icon comes up as it should, 'printing' and then 'job completed' and then the icon disappears. (Nothing is printed.) I thought it might be something to do with Pages compatibility with the printer but exporting the document to Word or making it a PDF doesn’t change anything. I don’t have Microsoft Word on my computer. The scanner does work and when I printed a ‘Test Page’ that worked too.
Let me know if you know why this is happening.

With these settings the network now works flawlessly, however, when i have my ethernet cable plugged in, my internet access via my airport card(on the macbook pro) is no longer available. Hoping you can tell me why this would be with this info i've provided.
Educated guess. The networking devices have priorities as to which are used. The standard order is that Ethernet has a higher priority than Airport.
While your Ethernet is unplugged it is inactive and the Mac ignores it. Once you plug it in, the Mac sees that it is active and switches traffic to that interface.
I actually take advantage of this feature at home, but configuring my Airport and Ethernet with identical fixed IP addresses. Normally I'll use Airport, but if I'm copying a huge file and I want faster performance, I'll just walk my MacBook (previously iBook, previously Powerbook) over to my Ethernet switch and plug in my MacBook. Magically, the Mac detects that the Ethernet is active and continues the file transfer uninterrupted over the faster 100baseT Ethernet connection. When the transfer is finished, or if I really need to move back to the Comfy Chair, I unplug the Ethernet cable, and all activity reverts back to the Airport, all without disrupting any existing networking connections.
You on the other hand have totally different settings for your Ethernet and your Airport, so when you switch to Ethernet, you basically loose your Airport connections.
Something you can try:
System Preferences -> Network
Gear icon on the bottom left, next to the [+] [-] icons.
Select *Set Service Order...*
Now Drag the network interfaces into the perfer priority order you want. In this case put Airport above Ethernet.
NOTE: You may want to create a new Network Location for this, instead of messing with your normal home Location (which is most likely the default Automatic. That way you have your original you can always fall back to.

How can I sync my iPad 2 with my new MacBook Pro when it is already synced with my old MacBook? I am getting a message on the new MacBook Pro that says I am not allowed to sync the iPad 2 because it is synced to another iTunes library.

How can I sync my iPad 2 with my new MacBook Pro when it is already synced with my old MacBook? I am getting a message on the new MacBook Pro that says I am not allowed to sync the iPad 2 because it is synced to another iTunes library.

1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPad but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPad with it.
above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.
also, there are PhoneView and iRip.

What is max internal hard drive transfer rate compatible with a 2007 MacBook Pro?

In attempt to upgrade my mid-2007 MacBook Pro (Intel Core 2 Duo), I bought a Seagate 750GB listed as compatible with my computer on MacSales.com . . .
Seagate Momentus XT ST750LX003 750GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache 2.5" SATA 6.0Gb/s Solid State Hybrid Drive -Bare Drive
Installation appeared to go well and I ran an extended hardware test with no issues found. However, the drive is listed at 5.46 TB (would be nice) and I get an input/output error when attempting to partition. I can initiate an erase, but after the time I would suspect it would take to erase the drive, I get an input/output error - it seems to appear after the first 750 GB of the '5.5 TB' was erased. At all times, the drive is not recognized when I attempt to install OS X from original discs.
I suspect the 6.0 GB/s transfer capacity of the hard drive is not compatible with the MacBook Pro. The drive came with 4 jumper pins but no jumper and no label diagram to set a slower transfer rate. I called Seagate, Newegg, OWC, and Apple, but no one has compatibility info for my MacBook Pro. To them, it appears I am running the first tests of this new technology with an 'older' MacBook Pro.
My MBP has had no issues - I'd like to keep her going with the optimum internal hard drive capacity, but don't necessarily want to set up a test bench in my house (though my kids would enjoy destroying it) and pay several shipping and restocking fees to test new hard drives.
The original drive had a 1.5 GB/s transfer rate. Does anyone know the maximum transfer rate compatible with a 2007 MacBook Pro? 3.0 GB/s? 1.5 GB/s? Thank you.

No spinning hard drive will transfer data faster then 60-80MB a second. The XT models have a flash storage area that is used when reading and writing data that can make it Appear faster in some situations. That flash memory if only 8 or 16GBs in side, I forget which one.
The drie is rated to work on 6GB SATA bus but it certainly can not transfer data that fast. It should be backword compatible to work on slower buses.
Your drive is 750GBs in size. Not wure where you are getting this 5.5TB (that is 5.5 Tera Bytes which is 5500 Giga Bytes. Your drive is under 1TB)
What are you using to partition the drive? Disk Utilities from the original install DVD?
You need to install on your old drive, Update it from the Apple Website then clone it to the new drive. The version of OSX you are using may not function correctly with that large of a drive. Or get yourself a copy of Snow Leopard, retail disk for $29 from Apple, and do all the partitioning and installing with that version od OSX.

My 2007 Intel Macbook Pro had Tiger 10.4. Can I boot into that drive,now an external, with my 2011 Macbook Pro?

I have software that is no longer compatible with my 2011 MacBook Pro that I would like to continue to use.
When I upgraded my old 2007 MBP from Tiger to Leopard, I did a clean install on a new drive, and put the original internal in an external case.
This same software did not work with Leopard, but I could boot into the old drive when necessary, and use it that way.
But so far, I have not been able to do this with the new computer.
Since that MBP had an Intel processor, shouldn't I be able to boot into the old drive, or is the problem due to the i7's quad core?
BTW, I have Parallels 7 (and 8 available, but not installed yet) running WIndows Pro 7.
Can I use Parallels to install Mac 10.4 as a VM as a way around this?
Thanks.

You can upgrade from10.4 to 10.6 with no problems. Any program that runs under 10.4 will run under10.6 but you might have to upgrade some drivers for printers, etc.... I recently upgraded an 2006 MacBook (model 1,1) from 10.4 to 10.6.
You can order a Snow Leopard 10.6 install disk for $29 as long as you have at least1gb of RAM and 5gb offree space on your hard drive. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY You won't need the box set unless you want the full iLife '11 and iWork '09. If you only want iPhoto or other single apps you can get them from the App Store after you've upgraded to10.6.6. iPhoto, iMovie or Garage Band for $15 each and Pages, Keynote or Numbers for $20 each.
A 10.5 Leopard disk will run you over $100

Considering a switch from Windows to Macbook Pro, Help

Hi, I've never owned a Mac before and I just recently noticed a lot of cool things they can do. I own a Lenovo laptop that is 3yrs old and works just fine. My question for you is, that if the only thing I use my laptop for is to surf and play poker on the web, am I just wasting a lot of money on this machine since I wouldn't be using everything it is capable of?? I use Itunes also a lot, but that's about it for my laptop. Thanks for any suggestions and help!

This sort of sounds like you want to move to a MacBook Pro... you just need to justify the purchase (a position I often find myself in). As you've pretty much mentioned, your current Lenovo machine works just fine for what you are using it for... so you probably know that you don't "need" a new machine. Having said that, if you are looking to get a new machine, the MB Pro is an excellent choice. You can still install Windows (either natively through something called BootCamp, or by setting up a virtual machine within OS X). So... with a new MacBook Pro, you're not losing anything. It will be faster (even for Windows). I personally am the type that just likes to play around with different operating systems as well. I don't really have any issues with Windows (and I actually like Windows 7)... but I also like to try out different Linux distros as well. OS X is really the only other operating system out there that is really consumer friendly. The community behind Apple products tends to be top notch as well. All too often when I go to a PC forum... if someone is asking a question where the answer may seem obvious... you end up with a ton of derogatory comments from users telling them how much of an idiot they are. That is very rare in the Apple support forums. Frankly, I'm not sure I have ever seen it... but since I can't say for sure it "never" happens... I'll just go with it happens "rarely". Other users are always very supportive and willing to help out with the simplest to the most complex issues... often taking the time to actually research questions and provide comprehensive responses.
So... in going with a Mac... you're not just getting the newer hardware (which... lets be honest... as nice as it looks... inside it's the same stuff as every other PC maker)... you're also getting a great secure OS and a support community that's second to none.
It doesn't sound like you "need" a new machine now... but if you really are itching to upgrade, moving to a MacBook Pro is a great choice.

Bluetooth do not show or recognise cellphones on HP Pavilion g4-2020tx Notebook with windows 8.1 pro

Bluetooth do not show itself to or recognise cellphones on HP Pavilion g4-2020tx Notebook with windows 8.1 pro 64-bit.Yes the comm say it is working fine but it is clearly lying and yes I did switch on visibility.I do not find any bluetooth driver on the Notebooks support page any longer.

Hi ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. It is a great site for information and questions. I have looked into your issue about your HP Pavilion g4-2020tx Notebook and Bluetooth not working. Here are some links that might help. I would check to make sure Bluetooth is on. It shows you how to do that under Connecting Bluetooth. A device such as computer might need to have the Discovery setting turned on. To turn on Discovery in Windows 8, from the Start screen, type Change Bluetooth to open the Search charm, and then select Change Bluetooth settings from the search results. Hope this helps. Thanks.
