"earlier versions of windows are not supported boot camp" with bootcamp 5.1.2

Hi everyone !
I have a problem about installing window 8.0 pro 64-bit with bootcamp ( v5.1.2 ). When I finished setting up, Bootcamp shows me a message as " earlier versions of windows are not supported boot camp " although I'm using bootcamp with 5.1.2 version. How can I resolve it ? My mac is mgxa2 mid 2014.
Thanks a lot !

Thanks for supporting to me .
According to "Boot Camp: System requirements for Microsoft Windows operating systems - Apple Supports" If I use bootcamp version equal or greater than 5, so I can do it. But my current bootcamp likes that. So why not ? . In the first time I set up though bootcamp , it's good but now it always shows that message .

Version of Windows OS not supported

Downloaded Adobe Reader 70. When opening desktop message comes up this version of Windows OS not supported. What do I do?

Ok, if you do not have service pack 2 of Windows 2000, you cannot
install Reader 7. Go to
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2_allversions.html and
choose Windows 2000 SP1.
HOWEVER, if you do not have service pack 4, you should not be
connecting to the internet! You are vulnerable to many viruses. You
should use Windows Update to bring yourself up to date with patches
for Windows 2000. This will take quite some time, but I recommend you
don't delay...

My mac pro does not support boot camp (somehow)?

So for some reason every time I try and open the boot camp assistant I get this message "Boot camp assistant can not be used, This Mac does not support Boot Camp". I find this vary confusing as it should be able to (or so I assume as boot camp came pre installed). I don't Have a RAID set or even a RAID card for that matter. All the HD's are formatted to Mac OS Extended (Journaled). I'm not sure what else Im missing. I would consider using Parallels like on my macbook only that I'm trying to test out some rather graphic intensive games to see wether or not I want to build a gaming rig in the future, and virtual machines have this nasty habit of cutting my power in half.

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. For Boot Camp
         4.0 and above you can only use Windows 7 or later. 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 Fusion and 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 an 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 VirtualBox, 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 Labs- Virtualization Benchmarks, January 2013 | MacTech for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Benchmarks of all of the above except Crossover can be found in Benchmarking Parallels, Fusion, and VirtualBox Against Boot Camp - The Mac Observer. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or later. 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.

But I can't find a solution. Any suggestion?

If you can grab Boot Camp 3.0 thru 3.x you should be able to get the drivers you need.
Apple took more agressive steps to really lock out and lock down drivers from being used and installed on systems that did not fall under the guide of 'supported'.
So if you have 10.6 DVD that does have Boot Camp 3.0 on it and you would need to update to 3.2, which use to be posted for manual download (so could do so even from Windows) if not thru the Apple Software Update utility in Windows.
If you can find a more "no we won't allow you to" I have never seen it.
And Google as best you can.

Late 2012 iMac 3TB does not support Boot Camp Assistant

Got my new customized iMac 27' yeasterday. After installing some soft, I decided to install Windows 7 as second OS on Boot Camp. After clicking the Boot Camp Assistant icon, programm opens, and immediately it shows error "Boot Camp Assistaint does not support Windows installation on this iMac 3TB" or something like that (I have a russian version of dashboard/OS). Only option available at that moment - button "OK", which exits Boot Camp A|ssistant.
So... Any suggestions on how to solve the problem? I really need Windows as second OS, and don't want to install it like a virtual/emulator machine.
My customized iMac "loadout" is Core i7 3.4, 16Gb DDR, Nvidia GeForce 680MX 2Gb, 3TB Hard Drive.
P.S. I thought this may be solved by separating Hard Drive into partitions (main, which is for Mac OS, and little tome for Windows, formated into MS DOS FAT system), still - this has not helped me.

There is a thread covering this subject here. I would advise you to read the whole thread before trying the 'solution'.

Is it possible to bypass the number of partitions limitation (no more than 2) when trying to boot into windows by not using boot camp assistant, and instead just partitioning the drive manually?

I can't find a specific answer to this question.
I did have a functioning Windows 8 installation on my MacBook Pro previously. I tried to make a third exFAT partition so as to have a drive mutually readable/writable to both operating systems. This made it so I could no longer boot into my Windows installation.
I know I'll need the boot camp drivers installed on the Windows installation after the fact, but would manually creating a partition and installing the OS without Boot Camp Assistant work? And would I be able to boot from it while having a total of 3 partitions?

That's the spirit!
Just be sure to have your OS X junk safe in a tested backup, in case the whole thing craps out and you end up having to do a low-level partition and erase of the entire drive.
And like I said, the problem is not OS X. I've set up mine at least once with 4 partitions holding as many flavors of OS X as can run on the hardware, all perfectly bootable on demand.

Windows 8 not recognizing Boot Camp partition

Just purchased a new iMac 27", with some extra bells and whistles added. Also purchased a copy of Windows 8, with the intention of partitioning the iMac for it. I have followed the instructions here thoroughly:
http://help.apple.com/bootcamp/mac/5.0/help/#apd5a4fe62a-dda5-4a8f-aca4-371bc726 d861
I am stuck at "Install Windows on your Mac" step 2. The partition that was created with Boot Camp is not visible in the Windows Setup window (unlike what is shown in the step 2 image from the link above). I have attempted to restart, remove the partition, and create a fresh partition, then followed the steps from the link again - all with the same results.
School started recently, and I need to install Revit and AutoCAD Architecture asap - any help with overcoming the problem above would be very appreciated.

Kiecu,
I hope you were able to find the solution. I resolved my original issue, and it turned out to be a big fiasco over a minor fix.
I had to go into a Genius Bar, which took several hours. And what we discovered was that there was a small misstep in the setup guide on the Apple Boot Camp site. That is that the instructions stated to leave the USB or external hard drive plugged in the whole time, which was incorrect. Instead the USB or external hard drive needed to be removed when boot camp automatically restarted the computer. It was such a simple fix, but the online instructions caused a lot of head ache.
In other words, when the computer went into restart, I pulled out the flash drive, and it all went according to the instructions from there.
Good luck.

Some devices in MBP are not working in win7 with bootcamp drivers

Hi.
I've just got my new mac book pro 15", with SSD 255 disk and hi-ress antiglare screen. I've used bootcamp to partition the disk and I've installed windows 7 64bit pro Greek.
The problem is that, after installing the bootcamp drivers, some hardware, do not work or recognized. eg, the trackpad, the keyboard, the wireless adapter, etc.
I've tried to install again and again from the disk, and make any internet updates, but, nothing happens. When I'm installing by single file in boot camp dvd, says, that the driver is not support the OS's language (greek).
Is there any suggestion for my problem? (In mac OS X there are no problems)

Hi!
Unpack the installer files. (I've used winrar for this.)
Find the DPInst.xml file, and open with Notepad.
Change the Australian language code to Greek (0x0408) here:




<language code="0x0C09">
<eula type="txt" path="EnglishLicense.txt"/>
</language>
Save the file, and run DPInst.exe
Have fun!

It says "you cannot open the application because microsoft windows are not supported on os x.

Using 3.6.12, when I enter a bid on eBay, FF immediately signs off eBay. Never had that problem with earlier versions. I do not have this problem with Internet Explorer.

Using FF 3.6.12, I can log onto eBay, view my account, rate a purchase or win, and search for items. In other words, pretty much do anything normally on eBay.
But if I try to enter a bid on an item, the program exits eBay.com and I get the "You've Signed Off. See You Again Soon!" screen. This happens every time I try to enter or re-enter a bid.
I've been using Firefox for a few years to bid on eBay without any problems. This started as soon as I upgraded to 3.6.12 a month or so ago. Any suggestions?
I've been forced to use Internet Explorer just to get on eBay and bid now. Not nearly as fast and elegant as Firefox. Help!

To re-install Lightroom 5.4, there's no need to go back to the original full version and systematically re-install every upgrade you've ever purchased in order to re-install the latest version. All you need to do is re-install your most recent version (in this case 5.4), enter your Lightroom 5 serial number then enter your Lightroom 4 serial number when prompted. That's it.
How did you first license the Lightroom 5 upgrade on your computer? Since it's not a subscription version, you must have received a version 5 serial number somewhere in the purchasing process. Without a record of that, Adobe Customer Care may struggle with your case.
If you're running Windows, you can try running the free Belarc Advisor which often successfully retrieves your full serial number from inside your computer.

Microsoft health "notifications are not supported in this version of windows phone"

Adding some tiles to my Band shows the 'Notifications are not supported in this version of Windows Phone' error.
The affected tiles include calls, mail, Facebook, Cortana and Facebook messenger. My Lumia 630 is running on the version 8.10.14234.375 of WP8.1 Preview for Developers. Microsoft Health is Version 1.3.10424.1. Microsoft Health is allowed to run
in Background.

Never mind. It's actually working now.
The health app wasn't presenting me with a request to access notifications. Strangely on the 4th or 5th time opening the app it did.

You can't open the application "MFI_Simulator.exe" because Microsoft Windows applications are not supported on OS X. Can someone assist. I have Office for Mac 2011 on MacBook Pro 13''.

You can’t open the application “MFI_Simulator.exe” because Microsoft Windows applications are not supported on OS X. Can someone assist. I have Office 2011 on my MacBook Pro, OS X, 10.9.1.

Your Office 2011, though a Microsoft product, is designed to work with OSX the Mac operating system. Any program/application ending .exe is an executable program for Windows. It will only work in Windows and is not part of or openable with Microsoft Office.
the application you want to open needs Windows - you have a couple of alternatives:
Open it on a Windows PC
Install a valid version of Windows via Bootcamp (or Parallels or VM Fusion) which will allow you to boot your Mac into Windows where it will function like a Windows PC and you can use it to run the application.
See if the manufacturers of MFI_Simulator have a Mac version available.
Please note that if you follow the second option, then you will need to purchase a copy of Windows (if you do not have one already). BootCamp is free (part of OSX) but Parallels and VM Fusion cost too. I see quite a few posts from people who buy Parallels and try to run the program under Parallels - this doesn't work - you need to install Windows as well.
Hope this helps.

You need to uninstall the Community / Conduit toolbar add-on.
Locate the files in bold print and move them to the Trash. The first five are in your root /Library
/Library/Application Support/Conduit
/Library/InputManagers/CTLoader
/Library/ScriptingAddtions (anything CTLoader realted)
/Library/Receipts/<Toolbar name>.pkg
/Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/CT2285220.bundle
The next one is in your Home folder.
~/Library/Application Support/Conduit
When you're done, try Safari.
