How do I install Leopard on MacBook Pro Retina Partition

I am trying to install either Leopard or Snow Leopard on a partition of my MBP Retina. I can set up the partition but how do I load a new OS on that Partition with an external Super Drive.
I also have VMWare Fusion and am trying to do it that way or with boot camp

Consider installing Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels 7 in Lion ($29 + $79):

    Still have MobileMe icon (not iCloud) on my System Preferences, how can I install iCloud on Macbook pro when directions say to click on iCloud icon in System Pref. ?

    Read the system requirements for iCloud.  It is not compatible with Snow Leopard which your system profile confirms you have.

  • I have Windows 8.1 installed on my Macbook Pro Retina (Late 2013) and it keeps on crashing with a WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR BSOD error

    I have Windows 8.1 installed on my Macbook Pro Retina (Late 2013) and it keeps on crashing with a WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR BSOD error. Is this an issue with the bootcamp driver not compatible with Windows 8.1? or is there something I can do to fix this.
    I also keep getting WHEA-Logger Event-ID 19 warning events in the Windows Event Logs with the following details.
    A corrected hardware error has occurred.
    Reported by component: Processor Core
    Error Source: Corrected Machine Check
    Error Type: Cache Hierarchy Error
    Processor APIC ID: 3
    The details view of this entry contains further information.

    likely win8.1 dont have official bootcamp support yet
    1/3 of my logins into win8.1 result in a fatal bluescreen
    was the same deal when I installed win8 before official support
    and when the drivers with official support was released the issue went away

  • How do I connect a 2013 Macbook Pro Retina to an Epson Power Lite 61p LCD Projector?

    I am trying to attach an Epson PowerLite 61p LCD Projector to my 2013 Macbook Pro Retina, but I cannot find which type of adapter I need. I would assume whichever adapter is required it must connect via thunderbolt. However, I do not know if the required adapter is a "Mini Display Port to VGA Adapter," "Apple Mini DVI to VGA Adapter," or a "Thunderbolt to VGA Adapter." I would deeply appreciate your help and guidance. Thanks!

    It does not matter whether you get an Apple adapter or a third pary one.  What you have there is a Mini Displayport to VGA adapter, but as you know, your new MacBook no longer has an MDP port!
    Thunderbolt to VGA adapters do not exist but there are plenty of HDMI to VGA adapters out there:

  • How can I use SDXC on MacBook Pro Retina and Bootcamp?

    I bought a Patriot LX Series 128GB SDXC card recently for my MacBook Pro Retina. When I insert it on Mac, it is recognized no problem. In Windows 8 (on Boot Camp), it scans indefinitely and often-time it crashes Windows Explorer, just to insert it. Has anyone had any issues with SDXC on Boot Camp? For me, it's just not working.

    Lion tech Specs: http://support.apple.com/kb/SP629
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    But the latest Aperture requires 10.7.5 at least; I cannot find the TechSpecs for that system, if I remember correctly 64 bit processor was mandatory, same as for Mt. Lion.
    One other thought - if both systems cannot be upgraded to the same OS, why not create a Snowleopard partition on the newer mac and have both machines run Aperture 3.2.4. This would require to restore the previous version of the Aperture library from backup, however.

  • How hard can i push my MacBook Pro Retina?

    So I like to game on my macbook, but at the same time I'm afraid it won't last very long if I continue with it. If I have best resolution, maximum framerate (fps) etc will this hurt my mac or slow it down?
    I'm rocking a mid 2014 macbook pro retina 13 inc, with intel core i5, 2.6 ghz and 8 gigs of ram. Latest version of osx (yosemite). And I have intel iris 1536MB graphics card.
    So if I push my Mac too hard will it "survive" or whatever? I thought these computers were meant for this stuff, but I don't know, that's why i'm asking.
    Will battery life also drain after a while?
    I have tried best graphics and it handles it very well, but I have no idea if it's a smart thing to do. Will it destroy my mac?
    Any help would be much appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Magnus

    Macs are specifically designed for maximum performance, and are impossible to damage through normal use as long as you observe its published environmental specifications. That includes gaming or whatever else you need it to do. If it should reach a thermal limit that cannot be altered, it will throttle its performance to remain within its operational specifications. If that fails to keep it cool, it will simply shut down to protect itself.
    Avoid any clever third party hacks such as those intended to manipulate the exhaust fan speed. Doing that will only draw in more environmental contaminants than would normally occur, and could conceivably render its warranty void.
    No battery works as well as a brand new one. They are all wear items that will require eventual replacement. Usually, by that time your Mac will be so old you'll want to replace it anyway.
    It's obviously an unscientific observation, but I find that the less people obsess about their Macs, the longer they tend to last. Expect your Mac to serve you well until 2020, at least. By that time who knows what we'll be doing with them.

  • How to activate WIFI port on Macbook Pro Retina?

  • Unable to install Leopard on MacBook Pro G4

    I have a 2.16 GHz PowerBook G4 with 2 Gig of memory. When I try to install Leopard, I get as far as the restart. That it won't do. It comes up and says that it cannot be used as a start up disk and to make sure that the install disk is loaded. Well it is loaded, obviously, so what is happening? Why won't it continue into the installation. This is a brand new purchased disk.

    I do not recall it being a G5
    There was never a laptop from Apple with a G5 processor.
    so it must be a G4 unless that designation is not used for the Core 2's.
    "PowerBook" and "G4" only applied to the earlier laptops from Apple that contained the PowerPC G4 processor. Neither term applies to the current Intel-based Mac laptops of which the MacBook and MacBook Pro are examples. It's not a "technicality"; it's critical to identify correctly what model of Mac you have so that people give you appropriate advice. What works on one model of Mac doesn't always work on a different model.
    That said, I repeat my question: have you tried booting it by inserting the CD, restarting, and holding down the "c" key? If not, try that and see if that will boot the system.

  • Problems Installing Leopard on MacBook Pro

    I've been trying to install Leopard on my Macbook Pro - for some reason, it asked me to format my hard drive to continue the install. So, I changed my startup disk to my harddrive and restarted - but now, my computer won't start up!
    I've tried:
    booting up with and without the leopard install disk
    and booting up with my 10.4 install disk (the one that came with my MBP)
    Any ideas? I've been waiting on the apple support line for the last 15 minutes and I'm getting a little frustrated. Thanks!

    I had a similar experience on my MB Pro. Freshly rebooted, logged in as Administrator, backed up user data, but not applications folder (my mistake). Leopard install hosed my startup disk, could not repair with Disk Utility, could not boot from prior Tiger HD. Totally hosed. I had to reboot several times even to get it to do a clean install after that. I've just about got my machine back to usable, but have lost my applications requiring reinstalls, and some other stuff. This is a totally unacceptable upgrade process for an Apple product. I am very disappointed. It's not like Apple did not have enough time to get this right. It stinks.

  • Is it possible to get a 1TB hard drive installed into my Macbook Pro Retina?

    I am a photographer and I have a lot of photos and its hard to store them all.  I have a back up drive I currently have my iPhoto library on, but it crashes a lot.
    Can I get an internal drive installed? How much does this cost?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    The MacBook Pro with Retina display can only use flash storage because a hard disk doesn't fit onto this computer. Unfortunately, the only thing you can do is to store the photos onto an external disk, if they doesn't fit onto your flash storage.
    If your external disk is slow, you may want to buy a Thunderbolt external disk. It's much faster than a USB external disk and you shouldn't notice any problem anymore with it
