How Can I re-Install Bootcamp? I deleted it from my applications somehow.

I have recently purchased an i7 core processor MacBook Pro and I am trying to install BootCamp so I can run a Windows program. I have 2 other MacBooks running BootCamp (one Windows XP and the other Windows 7).When I tried to run the Windows XP install DVD the MacBook wouldn't read it (I have an update DVD to upgrade to Windows 7 once XP is installed). Appearently XP is no longer supported by BootCamp, so I will get a Windows 7 install disk.
I have somehow merged BootCamp and it is no longer in my applications list in Finder. How can I re-install BootCamp? Is there a way to do this without wiping the disk clean and re-installing the Snow Leopard OS?
I also have a Parallels 6 DVD. Should I just use it and forget running BootCamp? I'm running Mac OS X 10.6.8 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7 with 4 GB 1067MHz DDR3.
Thank You For Your Help,
Curt

If the computer came with 10.7 Lion installed NEW then you cannot install XP or Vista now. If it's an older one then you can still use XP and upgrade to Lion and it will still work.
You do not have to install XP in order to Upgrade to W7. It will just erase and install over XP anyway. You cannot merge the OS together like you would with VIsta and W7. That's the only way you can install W7 over XP is a clean install. You already have the legal XP disk so you can just skip that step and just go to installing the Upgrade version of W7 as it is mentioned by Microsoft. There are a few ways of installing with the Upgrade version the easiest way is to just install W7 normally then without updating or authorizing it reinstall over the new install and then you can authorize it and update it normally and all is good.
I'm not sure what you mean by merged Boot Camp?
Have you done a search in Spotlight for "Boot Camp Assistant" and see what it says? Worst case scenario you can just re-install (Restore?) 10.6 over itself and it will just reinstall the core OS without deleting anything else. Click on your empty desktop and at the top of the Apple Menu click on Help and type in Reinstalling Mac OS X and follow the instructions.
Also you do have an Application Disk along with the OS disk to restore applications with, Boot Camp Assistant should be on there, you will just have to make sure to use the Apple Software Updater to make sure it gets updated before you need it.
As far as using VMWare/Parallels, if you have a heavy duty program that is processor heavy or needs a lot of ram then you may need to use Boot Camp for the native use of the hardware. If you don't need the full Proc or lot's of ram then a Virtual disk is fine. Myself I use both, I can boot into Windows for the heavy programs and stay in the Mac side and use Parallels for the lighter applications. I'm still using 10.6 so I don't have it installed on my Lion HD yet so I don't know how Version 6.x works in Lion.

How can I remove the photos without deleting them from the album?

I am making a book in Aperture 3. I want to change some of the pages that I have put together, and want to remove some of the photos from some of the pages, to put them on another page. How can I remove the photos without deleting them from the album?

As a follow-up, I have found that clicking on the photo in the book also highlights the photo on the strip below. So, if you then hit delete, you will delete the photo from both the book page and the album (which is the book, the way I have it set up). If you only want to delete it from the book page, you then have to un-click the photo on the strip below, or both will be deleted. This seems unwieldy. I deleted 6 photos from a page and found all of them gone from the album. The only way that I can see to keep them in the album is to then unselect them from the bottom strip after selecting them fro the page. This seems to call for an extra step.

How can I recover pics that were deleted/emptied from the trash?

I deleted a folder that was named incorrectly, and it turned out to be the bulk of my photos. How can I recover these files if the trash was emptied. This is years of pictures.

Your back up?
Other than that... File Salvage - you can download a free trial and it will scan the disk for you and tell you with might be recoverable. Actual recovery will require that you purchase the app. There may be many files with the same or similar names. Always recover the largest file size.
There are other such apps. Search on Macupdate or the App Store

How can i make Distiller autoname file ( when exprting from other application?)

hello everyone,
i have been searching for a solution for a long time please help me >
we have more than 100.000 docuents saved as pic on our network at work by using ( Laser Fiche). I wanted to save all files by using acrobat distiller but when i try to print a file i was prompted to enter a file name! but i don't want to... i want the distiller create a file name automatially.
in the preferencesd i unchecked ( ask for PDF .. ) but the problem is that all files saved were overwritten because distiller was imporing the file name from Laser Fich!
how can I make distiller ( autoname files like 0001 0002 0003 and so on) ?
forgot to tell you that i am using acrobat version 5 ( and windows xp + laser fiche at work )
thanks in advance

thanks Bill@VT -
it didn't work
I opened the properiteis of the distiller and uncheck the ( prompt for the PDF file name) so that the distiller can save files automatically . it did but by overwriting the files because the original files in the LASER FICHE have same names so the distiller saved one file only by overwriting ....that's why i want to make distiller to name files when saving them ( the distiller are imorting the files from Laser fiche only but i want it to autoname them )
i also opened distiller properites and unchecked the ( ask to replace existing PDF filename ) the distiller was always asking me to replace file ! and I can't do it this way because I have more than 100.000 docuents!
sorry , I know this is a very difficult question
but I would very happy if you can help me

How can I move an email without deleting it from iCloud server?

I have local rules on my Mac to move emails from certain people into their own local folders, and sound a unique alert. The problem is that it appears that moving it causes it to be deleted from iCloud's IMAP server, and therefore not delivered to my iOS devices.
When I changed the rule to copy rather than move, I'm left (of course) with duplicate emails in the local Inbox folder.
I tried creating iCloud Mail folders and using iCloud Mail rules to move certain emails into those folders. The problem is that I can't sound the alert: it appears that Mac Mail rules only apply to mail coming directly into the Inbox. (Also, only iCloud Inbox items get 'pushed' -- the mail in my John folder can only be retrieved when Mac Mail polls every N minutes.)
I'm new to IMAP, so I may have missed the solution. Can anyone suggest how, using iCloud Mail, I can:
See the same email in my Mac and all my iOS devices
Automatically route certain email to special folders and sound an alert, at least on the Mac
Thanks-
Chap

Double tap the home button. THe app icons will line up along the bottom of the screen. Scroll sideways to find hte one you want, hold your finger down on it until you see a little minus in a red circle. Tap on that then single tap the home button to exit the mode. You've just force closed the app.

How can I re-install FF without any imports from other browsers?

I initially installed FireFox because supposedly it allows me to run Sky Go which sadly Chrome no longer does. When I did so, I thought it would be wise to allow it to import my bookmarks etc. However, since I was not able to run Sky Go, they suggested that I unistall FireFox and reinstall it without any imports, this I have now tried twice without success to do; hence this question. All help gratefully received and greatly appreciated.

Good afternoon Fred,
Thank you for your prompt reply.
I had to re-think the sequence of events yesterday following very helpful support from the Sky Go team.
Sky Go had originally been installed on my laptop because I used it with Chrome.
Sadly and somewhat unexpectedly, (like overnight) last week, Sky Go no longer worked with Chrome. My first on-line Chat with Sky revealed that this was due to an upgrade by Chrome and it should soon be once again available; however, after a week, when it had not been resolved I contacted them again. I should say that in the meantime, Sky Go continues to work very well with Internet Explorer.
Yesterday I downloaded and installed FireFox with the option ticked to import bookmarks etc. when Sky Go was still loaded on the laptop. However, upon the advice of the Sky go Adviser, I did uninstall both Sky Go and Firefox, and reinstalled the FireFox and the FireFox version of Sky Go and when this did not work, repeated the attempt. Again the adviser was incredibly patient and helpful. He put this down to the original installation of FireFox during which I exercised the import bookmarks etc. option; hence my question. Is there any way I can reinstall Firefox now without it remembering that I originally chose to include the import option?
In the meantime, I continue to use IE for Sky Go but think I would really like to use FireFox instead.
I hope that this information will help you to help me Fred, and thank you for your kind attention and assistance.
Yours sincerely,
Sharon Pendorf

I Have iPhoto on my macbook pro under a different account, how can I create/install my own iPhoto?

I Have iPhoto on my macbook pro under a different account, how can I create/install my own iPhoto?

The iPhoto application should be installed in the "Applications" folder and thus available for all users on your MacBook Pro.
When you launch iPhoto from a different account hold down the ⌥-key, to be prompted where you want to create a new iPhoto library for that account. By default an iPhoto Library would be created in the "Pictures" folder of that user account.

I have installed Illustrator thru Cloud and then un-install the Illustrator. How can I re-install I?

Quit the Creative Cloud application and relaunch it again. When the CC app gets launched it scans through the installed applications and updates it's "Apps" tab accordingly. After this you can install Illustrator from the APPS tab.

How can I remove the BootCamp partition? as the size i created ws too small to install MS Office on 64Bit Windows 8.1 on MacBook Pro (Aug'13)

How can I remove the BootCamp partition drive for Windows 8.1, as the size which I created was too small for me to install Microsoft Office onto Windows 8.1 64-BIt. The machine which I have is the MacBook Pro 13' inch purchased in August 2013.

Either use Paragon's CampTuneX to resize it or use Boot Camp Assistant to remove the partition and restore the drive to one partition. Then create a new, larger Boot Camp partition. This will remove/delete/erase your Windows system.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If you have deleted your photos, you can only restore them from a back up.

I inadvertently deleted and emptied the trash bin on Firefox. I have a MAC OSX-VERSION 10.4.11. How can I re-install the latest version of Firefox that is COMPUTER FRIENDLY for the MAC OSX Version 10.4.11? I appreciate any help.

I inadvertently deleted Firefox and emptied the trash bin. I believe it was version 3.5. I have a MAC OSX 10.4.11. After several futile attemps how can I re-install the latest version of Firefox compatible to my MAC system? Thanks!

As of Firefox 4.0 and newer the Firefox builds from Mozilla requires both Mac OSX 10.'''5'''+ and a Intel.
Either you can use 3.6.19 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
Though for you 3.6.18 will be safe also as 3.6.19 was to workaround a font crashing issue on 10.7 Lion that was not fixed in time on Lion before release. http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.6.18/mac/ and pick your language and download the Firefox 3.6.18.dmg

You did something wrong. Why was your usb hard drive connected? Did you somehow format the external hard drive? If so, your files are gone.
