How to partition/install windows OS on the mac?

I need to partition/install/setup a Windows system on the Mac for an particular application which is only compatible to Windows OS. I have seen the applicaion note online previously, and know the task is doable, but cannot find it by searching online now.
Is anybody out there can point where to find the article?
Thanks very much!

  • Unable to install windows 8 on the mac

    how do I install windows 8 on the Mac I tried but cannot get past windows set up . Where do you want to install windows? I have highlighted Drive 0 Partion 4 and it comes up with this We couldn't creat a new Partion or locate an existing one.

    There are two different methods of installation, EFI and MBR, you are running a method which is combination of both. Either your MBR is incorrect or BCA failed to create one. EFI method requires a partition which is Free Space and the disk is GPT-only while MBR method expects to the disk to be partitioned already. If you see 'disk0 partition 4', it is the MBR method, and BCA could have failed.
    Please post the output of the following Terminal command. You will be prompted for your password, and it will not be echoed back to you. "sudo" will also warn you about improper and potential data loss due to such 'abuse'.
    sudo fdisk /dev/disk0
    sudo gpt -vv -r show /dev/disk0

    I have CS4 on a PC. I have bought a new MAC. How do I install my CS4 on the MAC- it seems this is a windows license.

    The license is only good for Windows and is too old to qualify for a platform swap.  The only option you might have is to install Windows emulation software on the Mac and install CS4 thru that.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    You need a USB drive to install the Windows support software. It contains all the drivers that your MacBook Pro needs, and you will have to install them after finishing the Windows installation. If you don't install them, a lot of things won't work: the wireless card, the sound card, the brightness, the trackpad gestures... Apart from that, you don't need it for anything else.
    Apple has released the official steps to install Windows 8 on a Mac, so if you want, print this PDF > http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.8.pdf

  • How do I install a game on the mac pro?

    I cant figure it out. I'm trying to install half life 2. Can someone help me. And how do u know if you can play a game on a mac without downloading windows?

    Without downloading Windows? Err, Half-Life 2 is a Windows game
    Anyway, for HL2 there actually is a solution that does not require Windows.
    You can get Crossover Mac:
    http://www.codeweavers.com/products/cxmac/
    (Note you have to pay for this product -- it's like $50), and it lets you run some Windows apps on the Mac (NOT all of them... as it only emulates some Windows APIs). As it turns out, HL2 is actually one of their supported apps... I actually think it is the ONLY supported game (how fortunate for you . It's worth a try.
    Otherwise, it's Boot Camp and a Windows install for you.

    You can't install XP, ML supports Windows 7 only.

  • How can I install Window server2008R2SP2-x64 on mac mini?

    A great number op people claim to have installed windows server 2008 on their mac mini.
    I have tried a number of VM ware applications to do this but so far without success.
    No matter which application I try (bootcamp, virtual box, fusion etc., it just seems impossible to select the file
    that I need to install in the created partition.
    Does someone have a working procedure on this?

  • How do I install Windows on a new Mac Mini (w/o optical drive?)

    The new Mac Mini does not have an optical drive and I would like to install Windows with Parallels Desktop 6
    Any ideas?  Can I put the iso on a USB drive or mount a NAS?
    Thanks for ay help!
    Enzo

    You can burn an ISO of a bootable disc back to a DVD, but not to a USB device. I don't know if Parallels is able to install from an ISO, but it may install from an external drive. This is why you should read the documentation for Parallels or ask at their tech support site.

  • How can I install windows 8 on a mac without superdrive?

    Hi there.
    I have an old Macbook pro (early 2007) which is still quite good, except from the superdrive which got broken.
    I would like to completely wipe out OSX (Lion) from that and install Windows 8 instead.
    Problem is, I cannot install it from optical drive, since it's broken (and plus, I don't have access to an external drive).
    Is it even possible to install windows 8 from USB on this computer? If so, what should I do?
    Thank you!

    You can only install Windows from an external disc drive or an USB drive in one of these computers:
    - MacBook Pro with Retina display.
    - MacBook Air.
    - iMac (Late 2012).
    - Mac mini (Mid 2010 and newer).
    As you don't have any of these computers, you need the SuperDrive to install Windows 8. In your case, you have to install a SuperDrive in your MacBook Pro in order to install Windows by using Boot Camp

  • Problems installing Windows 7 on the Mac Pro 3,1

    I am having huge issues intalling WIndows 7 on this Mac Pro. I bought 2 new SSDs one for OSX and one for Windows. OSX is running great and i ran bootcamp assistant and selected the second SSD and chose to use intire drive and rebooted to start the installation. Everything starts but installer gives an error saying it could not be installed on that drive. I searched the forums and found that you have to remove all ither drives while installing windows so i rebooted and tried again and everything went fine. once everything was done, all updates installed, bootcanp drivers instelled etc I shutdown and pluged the othe drive back in and windows never booted again. I removed all drives but the windows drive and same thing, no boot. I have erased the drived and gone through the whole process several times with same results everytime.

    Well I finally got it running smooth again, turns out that one of the windows updates changed the way the licensing works and for some odd reason it no longer works on Mac, go firgure lol. I ended up giving my windows 7 license to a friend who just built a PC so it worked fine for him but I am out $139 .
    To get it working again I had to take my Mac Pro to work and let the IT guys install the Enterprise Edition and activate it againist the companies activation server. Works great now but it means I will have to take it to work every 6 months now for activation
    I wish Microsft would stop making things so hard for us Mac guys.

  • How do you install an App from the Mac Store on a second HD

    I'm getting a smaller SSD drive for my computer. I don't want all my Mac App Store programs installed on my main drive but rather some on the second drive for obvious reasons. I don't see an option or even a preference panel to do this. Am I missing something simple. How is this done?
    Thanks
    Bryan

    Copy the app to the other drive.

  • How can I install Windows on my new Mac?

    This question sounds simple, but I am going nuts. I got this MacBook Pro recently, and I need Windows (to run ArcGIS 10). I know it can be done, and in fact is very common. However, I'm stuck.
    Here are the problems:
    - Only Windows 8.1 is currently available from Microsoft
    - According to Apple, 8.1 cannot be installed on a Mac
    - My download from Microsoft included only a small .exe file, not an ISO
    - I don't have a CD drive. Just an 8 gigabyte USB thumb drive.
    - I don't care what version of Windows I get. If there's some way to get 7, that's fine.
    So what do I do? How do I buy a copy of Windows that will work? How do I download it so that Boot Camp can use it? Hasn't this been done millions of times? I was on the phone with Apple for over an hour, and with Microsoft three times. No one can help. Can you?
    Thanks!

    your best bet is to download virtualbox and install it that way
    though if it's an exe it's not a full version but and upgrade so you need to install a full version in the
    virtualbox first

  • How can I install Windows 7 through Boot camp?

    I have a MacBook Pro Mid 2009 and I am running OSX Mavericks. How can I install Windows 7 from the install DVD? Thank you for the help in advance. Just as a side note, if I want to run GTA 4 on Windows 7 through Boot Camp, will it be faster than it is on Parallels? Thanks again.

    Games work much better in Boot Camp. Note that a virtual machine does not use all the performance of your MacBook, so they may work worse than in Boot Camp.
    Your Mac supports a 64-bit Windows 7 version, so open Boot Camp Assistant (in /Applications/Utilities), tick the options to download the Windows support software and install Windows, and follow its steps. Apple has got all the steps you need to install Windows > http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1636/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_ 10.8.pdf
    Remember to install the Windows support software after installing Windows
