How to put windows XP on with Mac OS X

OK, now I am able to get OS X back onto the Mac Book. I tried installing Windows XP with the disk that came with the computer. Got all the way to start up until it asked for a password. I didn't put in a password so of course it didn't recognize one. I am in the process of starting all over because I don't think that was going to work any way. My question now is after installing OS X, how do you get windows XP on too?

There are several choices, but three are probably the most common.
1. Boot Camp, which comes with Leopard. Using this set up, you will need to reboot your MacBook each time you want to change from OS X to WinXP or vice versa.
2-3. Parallels Desktop or VMWare Fusion, each of which sells for approximately $80. These do not require rebooting, so are more convenient, IMHO (I use Parallels).
For all three of these solutions, you will need to install WinXP after setting up your choice of virtualization software (though Boot Camp is technically not virtualization). It is all really very straightforward.

  • How To Put Videos On iPad With Mac?

    ok so i have three videos on my desktop and on my itunes on my mac and i want those three videos on my ipad in my camera roll but when i send them their SUPER bad quality. so i want to know how to put them in my camera roll on my ipad 2.

    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

  • HP Deskjet F380 - How to put on wireless network with Mac ? What print router is required?

    Hi I need some advice.
    I need to wirelessly network my Deskjet F380 printer (All in 0ne) I use MacBook and iBook. I need to know which wireless router would be suitable.
    Can anyone help.
    Thanks 
    Andy

    Sorry, that Wi-Fire didn't solve the problem. The issue, most likely, is Wi-Fi interference due to building construction material between the 7th & 9th floors. I would know of only two other options: 1) Run Ethernet between the floors, or 2) Employ Powerline adapters which take advantage of the building's AC circuit.
    For the second option, you would need a minimum of two adapter, one for near the router on the 9th floor and the second near your computer on the 7th. An Ethernet patch cord would then be connected between the 9th floor router and the first adapter, and a second patch cable connected between the second adapter & your computer.

  • How to put windows 7 on mac using bootcamp?

    i have a 2010 macbook air and an imac, i dont mind which windows 7 is on. i have a 4 gb usb, 4.7 gb disks and a downloaded (its not from microsoft) copy of windows 7.iso. macbook air has about 25gb of space left and imac over 3000gb. i need to know how to put windows 7 on bott camp with either machine.

    Use the BootCamp Aaistant, located in your Applications> Utilities folder. It will walk you thru the installation steps. howeve, once you get to the Windows installation step the Windows installer will check with MS if you have a legitimate copy.

    how to install windows 7 in i mac model A 1224 where a message of an operating system wasn't found. Try disconnecting any drives that don't contain an operating system.

    Thank you sir for replying my question, but unfortunately iwas using only windows 7 on my imac A1224 as my mac OS removed accidentally on earlier. Now there was only windows on the drive. i was trying to updating my windows, then on restarting, it can't boot properly (not taking cd or booting from Hd). if there is any hot keys for booting from cd or hard disk? i'm very grateful as you can help me in this problem.
    thank you once again

  • How to install Windows 8.1 with Windows 8 Product key?

    I have purchased Upgrade pack from Windows 7 to Windows 8. I have also Updated the OS to windows 8.1 through Store. How to install Windows 8.1 with Windows 8 Product key?

    The download link for the Windows 8.1 installer at the Upgrade with Product Key Only does not accept a Windows 8.0 product key. I ended up using the trick suggested by Andre Ziegler in this thread to obtain the 8.1 download independent of the Windows
    Store, but I haven't yet checked if the 8.0 key works from 8.1 Setup.
    I do IT for a living but I have plenty of family members that bring their notebook PCs to me and ask me to do the heavy lifting, and I'd rather not re-download the same 3.6 GB every single time someone tells me to fix their PC. I also want to be able to
    re-install 8.1 from the source media in case of a catastrophic hard disk failure and I have to replace the disk.
    As an aside, tools that retrieve product keys for installed products end up retrieving the 8.0 product key from an 8.1 install that was upgraded via the Store.  It kind-of makes sense that an 8.0 key could work to install 8.1 because 8.1 is supposed
    to be a free upgrade for licensed 8.0 users, but this doesn't seem to work until after 8.1 is successfully installed via some trickery and the user supplies the 8.0 key to activate it.

  • Can manually subscribe with Windows but not with Mac

    For some reason I am able to manually subscribe to the below feed just fine with iTunes on my PC (Windows XP) but I get an error when trying with my iMac (OS X 10.5.8):
    *http://feeds.feedburner.com/Metalspeak*
    The error I'm getting with my iMac references "An unknown error occured (400)"
    I was troubleshooting a different feed and am getting similar results: it works fine with the PC, but not with the iMac:
    *http://feeds.feedburner.com/MetalsPeakPodcast*
    The error I'm getting on this feed however states "The file might be corrupted, or a file type that iTunes cannot play"
    Can anyone think of why these feeds work with Windows but not with Mac? Any advice is appreciated!

    The problem lies with the URLs for your media files. The one for the top episode is
    http://www.metalspeak.com/episodes/MetalsPeak 10 - GenresPeak.mp3
    This URL contains spaces, which are not allowed in a URL. Browsers - and from what you say iTunes in Windows - handles this by substituting the code %20 for each space when requesting the file; iTunes for Mac does not.
    You need either to change the filename for each media file, removing the spaces or substituting something such as an underscore, and then amending the feed accordingly: or at the least to amend the feed by replacing each space with %20.
    It's the same problem in the other feed.

  • Is windows 8 compatible with Mac?

    Is windows 8 compatible with Mac? can be bought & downloaded online?

    Windows 8 is compatible with some Macs. Check that your computer is compatible > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634
    If it's compatible, follow these steps to install Windows 8 in Boot Camp > http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.8.pdf
    Windows 8 can be purchased as a download from the Microsoft Store, but it's an upgrade version. If you haven't got an older Windows version installed on the Mac, you have to buy the System Builder version from eBay or Amazon, and in this case, you will have to install Windows 8 from DVDs

  • How to create Windows 7 Homegroup with Verizon Router

    I have a desktop and a laptop, both running Windows 7 (the desktop is running Windows 7 Home Premium, the laptop  is running Windows Ultimate).  With XP I had a nice network and could share printerhs, files, etc .
    After I upgraded both machines from XP to windows 7 I cannot get the homegroup to create AND share.  I can create a homegroup on either machine, but in either case the other machine cannot see the home network.
    Windows 7 says that Homegroup requires IPv6, but Verizon Routers don't support this protocol.  I have attempted, as noted on the internet, to disable IPv6 on both computers,  but this didn't seem to solve the problem.  I chatted with an Verizon tech support person who told me no IPv6 routers.  
    I am looking for suggestions on how to successfully network my computers with Windows 7 and my Verizon router.  (Actiontec M1424-WR).  We previously tried to put another router in the interface to do wireless and that didn't work.  
    Thank you.

    IPv6 connectivity needs to be enabled on the Windows 7 machines to support HomeGroup networking. Make sure you re-enable those. Once IPv6 is re-enabled, verify that the PCs are at least holding a Link-Local IPv6 address. Open up command prompt and type in "ipconfig" to verify it is holding something, first of all. It's also a good idea to make sure Teredo is in working order as well, as it's considered to be needed in order to use IPv6 on an IPv4 router.
