Does the upgrade to Lion preserve an existing Bootcamp partition

Can someone give us a definitive answer on whether upgrading to lion will preserve an existing bootcamp win 7 64 bit partition (don't know if the win system matters but I tried to be specific)?
Thanks

It is supposed to install only on the OS X formatted drive you select. It does not change a Windows partition.
However, Lion must create a Recovery HD partition on the drive that requires slightly shrinking the last partition which is the Windows partition. If the installer is unable to do this then it will produce an error. In some cases the Windows volume is corrupted by the process. In this case boot from the Windows installer disc, go past the first screen into the recovery tools, and run the automatic recovery option. This should fix the problem.

  • If I upgrade to Lion, does the upgrade include iMovie 11?

    If I upgrade to Lion, does the upgrade include iMovie 11?

    Lion is the operating system and does not include applications.
    I upgraded to Lion and I still have iMovie 11 which was on my Mac prior to the upgrade.

  • Does the Mountain Lion upgrade include the upgrades from Lion?

    I was wondering if I should update to Mountain Lion, and I was wondering if it includes the upgrades from Lion as well?

    You only need one OS. I'd use Mountain Lion, but you should first figure out if you have any old programs that are not compatible with either Mountain Lion or Lion.
    Old PowerPC programs will not work on Lion or Mountain Lion.
    To view which programs you have that are PowerPC, hold down option key and select System Profiler from the Apple menu. Then, select Applications in the Software section. Click on the Kind column header to sort by kind. Look for programs that are PowerPC. Those won't work. If you need them, don't upgrade.
    Additionally, Roaring Apps has compatibility information for other software: http://roaringapps.com/apps:table

  • When I upgraded my iMac to Lion I can no longer connect the iPad 2 to WiFi.  It gives me a message unable to search for WiFi.  Before the upgrade to Lion it worked fine.  What gives?

    When I upgraded my iMac to Lion I can no longer connect the iPad 2 to WiFi.  It gives me a message unable to search for WiFi.  Before the upgrade to Lion it worked fine.  What gives?

    Could there be a setting I need to adjust in the iPad2?  When I try to turn on WiFi and enter the name of the WiFi that I have established, including the security type and the password, I get the message "Could not scan for wireless networks."  Is there a setting in iCloud or other location that needs to be changed?

    Yep, me to exactly the same problem,  the error message keeps telling me to check my internet connection  or try later.  Nothing wrong with my internet connection.  Is it an apple server problem?

  • External display, don´t connect after the upgrade to Lion?

    I frequently use an external display when working. Now after the upgrade to Lion the mini dvi port seem to work. Signal goes though but no picture. Display works fine with my other Mac. Really need this to work. Pleas help me out and I´ll buy a new MacBook Pro A.S.A.P . 

    Still sounds like the display port is not sending out a video signal.
    Try this:
    Leave the Mac powered on, close the lid, wait for it to go to sleep. Using an external keyboard, press the space key. This usually activates and wakes the computer back up to using the external display port.

  • Does the Fill Workspace Background function still exist in any capacity in Photoshop Elements 12 (Mac version)?

    Does the Fill Workspace Background function still exist in any way?
    I could make it such that I could see my desktop (or whatever was open behind my file) when I was using Elements 6.
    Thanks and best.
    (Mac Version. Elements 12)

    Hey, thanks kindly for the assistance.
    That is highly disappointing.
    Do you happen to know if the feature remains for PS CC? I have CS5, too, and this feature exists, I wonder if it has continued in this line...
    Thanks again.

  • Does the upgraded MBA 11'' from 1.4Ghz to 1.6Ghz affect the battery life?

    Im looking into buying 11'' MBA and i still cant deside if i should upgrade the CPU.
    Surely i will upgrade the RAM to 4GB.
    But Apple Store staff adviced me that if i upgrade CPU to 1.6Ghz it may reduce the battery life from promised 5hrs to around 4.5hrs... Is that true? Personally i think that is maybe not really true, cuz normally any OS have an option to control and set up a limit of the CPU performance and frequency speed in regards to manage the baterry life... it even can be adjusted either manually or automatically.. am i right? And actually if you dont use CPU intensive programs so it won't consume more power, right? And even in such case also you can set the limit of the CPU performance to save the battery...
    So does the upgraded CPU affect the battery life or not ?
    And another matter - will the upgraded CPU get overheating sometimes and will it be "throttled" to control overheating ? as i heard...

    Higher GHz = More Power = Lower Battery Life
    Personally i think that is maybe not really true, cuz normally any OS have an option to control and set up a limit of the CPU performance and frequency speed in regards to manage the baterry life...
    And actually if you dont use CPU intensive programs so it won't consume more power, right? And even in such case also you can set the limit of the CPU performance to save the battery...
    If that were true, then why pay the xtra $100 for 1.6 GHz???
    So does the upgraded CPU affect the battery life or not ?
    Yes

    I have a macbook and after i've done the upgrade to lion os i cant eject the cd from the tray! any suggestions???

    Restart the computer (e.g. via the Apple menu). At the point you hear the startup chime (or sooner), hold down the trackpad or mouse button, and keep holding it down until after the point the Apple logo appears during startup.
    The CD should be ejected by the time the Apple logo appears.

  • How to Reinstall Windows on Existing Bootcamp Partition

    I've been running Windows 7 under Bootcamp on my 2011 MacBookPro. I've run into a situation where Windows7 will no longer install updates. I worked one day with Microsoft for over an hour but they could not find what was causing the problem. FYI, when looking into this problem, the error code that is produced is Error Code 8007010B. I have found nothing substantial online in regards to this code.
    I've used Winclone (a Mac application) in the past without issues to restore a Boot Camp Windows partition. Since purchasing Winclone 3.4 I've made several backups, but now that I am actually trying to restore one of those backups I'm getting a message:
    "the image you are attempting to restore does not contain the correct information".
    So I am frustrated and have emailed twocanoes.com, the Winclone publisher and waiting for their answer.
    Working with Bootcamp
    I'm trying to figure out the steps I need to reinstall Windows from scratch in an existing bootcamp partition. Do I need to start from scratch with Bootcamp, or can I reinstall Windows from inside Windows? If I do the latter, how do I prompt Bootcamp to reinstall the Apple drivers?
    Other Issues FYI
    I'm having trouble locating the Windows 7 instal DVD I originally purchased. I do have the serial number. So I've downloaded a copy of Windows 7 from the  MyDigitalLife Windows7 Repository.
    I have burned the iso image to a DVD. I've got 2 versions, one is the .iso file burned onto the DVD, the other are the contents of the .iso file burned to DVD. I assume to install Windows, it will want the one with the contents of the Windows installer burned to it? Any other issues I may be unaware of regarding this kind of Windows install?
    Is there any advantage of reinstalling Windows from a USB Flash drive as compared to a DVD? Just curious.
    Finally, for Activation, because this copy of Windows is going back into the same Bootcamp partition on the same hardware, will I have to reactivate Windows? If so, suggestions appreciated.
    Thanks!
    -Dave

    I appreciate the help. Can you tell me what are the steps to tell Bootcamp to install drivers into a Windows install? Thanks!
    Update: I looked at the Bootcamp Assistant instructions and now I understand your answer. Info here:
    "Step 4: Install the Windows support software
    After installing Windows, install Mac drivers and other support software for Windows. The
    support software installs Boot Camp drivers to support your Mac hardware, including AirPort
    devices, the built-in camera, the Apple Remote, the trackpad on a portable Mac, and the function
    keys on an Apple keyboard. The software also installs the Boot Camp control panel for Windows
    and the Apple Boot Camp system tray item.
    You can download the support software by selecting the “Download the latest Windows support
    software from Apple” option in Boot Camp Assistant. The support software must be copied to a USB flash drive formatted in MS_DOS FAT. If the installer does not start automatically, doubleclick the setup.exe file in the Bootcamp folder."
    If you or anyone have any other tips, they would be appreciated. As this appears to happen with Windows quite frequently, and I've had to do it multiple times over the years, I'm not looking forward to it.

  • HT1752 I both one Mac Pro 15" March 2009  and five month ago I have to change the harddrive and put some actional memories, since I have to make the upgrade for Lion IOS. Now the motherboard fails. What should I do or expect from Apple to solve this probl

    Hi everyone. I both a Mac Pro 15" in March 2009. Five month ago I  was forced to buy by one new hard drive and extent the memory, because I had to make the upgrade (and pay) to install the new Lion operation system. Four days ago the Mother-board fails. To change it will cost a fortune. What should I do or expect from Apple to solve this problem? I am very disappointed because my trust on Apple was destroyed.

    I am not sure why you are upset with Apple. Electronics equipment does fail. If the product is out of warranty or you do not have AppleCare there's not much you can do with Apple. Apple will charge you for the repair. Suggest you look for a third party repair store since they are usually less expensive than Apple. Alternatively you can buy one for about $850US and install it yourself. Sorry, but there aren't many choices in this situation.
