    Hi Armin.S,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of your question. If you are asking about the system requirements for running various versions of Windows under Bootcamp, or just more generally how to set up Bootcamp on your Mac, you may find the following articles/pages helpful:

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Although you managed to "hack" Boot Camp Assistant and you can create a Windows USB installer, you will not be able to boot from the USB drive and you will get a nice "No bootable device" screen after restarting your Mac.
    Apple has set up Boot Camp Assistant in order to show the option to create a USB installer only in Macs which support it. In the case of the MacBook Pro, only MacBooks Pro with Retina display support that option, so you are out of luck. You need Windows on a DVD.

  • Install Windows 8 on 13" late-2011 macbook pro (incompatible?)

    I'm trying to install Windows 8 on my Macbook Pro 13" i7 (late-2011) using bootcamp. I've got Mountain Lion 10.8.3, which I assume means Boot Camp 5. According to this article (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634?viewlocale=en_US), my computer should support Windows 8.
    But when I run Boot Camp Assistant, during the part where it's downloading files, it pops up and says something like "This computer is only compatible with Windows 7. Do you want to continue?"
    Why can't I install Windows 8? My computer should be compatible, according to everything I've read online.
    Thanks,
    Harrison

    I have had Windows 8 running on the 13" MacBook Pro i7 16GB (Late 2011) since December 2012 before the release of OSX 10.8.3 and it worked fine after a few missing drivers were located.
    After the release of 10.8.3 and the new BootCamp 5 Drivers the MBP functions perfectly.
    Don't burn the Windows Support Software to a USB but burn to a DVD unzipping them from here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1638
    We have internal DVD's so use it for both the Windows 8 install and the BootCamp 5 Support Software and forget the USB route.
    Piece of Cake!

    If GTA IV believes the system is under specification even though the computer is powerful enough to run the game with higher settings, the following will fix this problem.
    This will work if your problem looks like this: "resource usage 230/60" and you can't change any other setting
    Just follow the steps:
    Step 1: Create a text file named ‘commandline.txt’ (without the " ")
    Step 2: Put the following statement inside it:
    i5 users: -availablevidmem 18.0 (with the -)
    i7 users: -availablevidmem 22.0 (with the -)
    Step 3: Open the main GTAIV folder (C/ program files (86)/ rockstar games/ GTA IV) and copy the commandline.txt file into it.
    Step 4: locate the file "GTAIV.exe" (in GTA main folder)
    Right click the file and select Properties
    Under the shortcut tab, you will see an area that says Target
    Modify the Target adding the command line after the last quotation mark (just add the statement you added in commandline.txt)
    (remember, i5 users: -availablevidmem 18.0 / i7 users: -availablevidmem 22.0)
    It should look something like this:
    Make sure to add space between " and -"
    I hope This helps, although late cx

  • HT203167 I am trying to transfer itunes songs that were purchased using a previous apple id and windows pc ( I now have a Macbook pro). I know the previous apple id, but have forgotten the password.

    I am trying to transfer my itunes songs that were purchased using a previous apple id and windows pc ( I now have a macbook pro). When I try and download the itunes files, a message appears telling me that 7 songs purchased under the old apple id cannot be added to itunes on my macbook( the rest are added ok). I know the previous apple id, but have forgotten the password. When I try and retrieve the password using the security questions, I am asked for my birthdate. When I enter my birthdate, I am told this information is incorrect! Thats as far as i can go!
    How can I update my apple id( and remove any old ones) if I can't retrieve the old password?

    You need a third-party program lke one of those discussed here:

    about a month ago, Mavericks had an automatic update. I have a Windows 7 partition bootcamped on my macbook pro. Before the update, everything was fine. Now, when I attempt to start Windows partition, as soon as I touch the keyboard or mouse the screen goes black and I can't go any further. I have tried to re-load the bootcamp drivers and try again. It does the same thing. Any help would be great.

    if your computer does not support the operating system you wish to install in bootcamp then you have to use a virtual machine like virtual box to install the operating system you wish to install

  • 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

  • I wand to install Windows 7 on my band new Macbook Pro 13 inch. Do I need to buy a specific Mac version of Windows 7 or do I install a standard Windows 7 OS on the Mac

    I want to install Windows 7 on my band new Macbook Pro 13 inch and use Parallel Desktop 6 torun it alongside my Mac OS. Do I need to buy a specific Mac version of Windows 7 or do I install a standard Windows 7 OS on the Mac using boot camp.

    As vazandrew said, Boot Camp will work with any standard copy of Win 7.
    The only exception would be if you want to run it in a virtual environment, such as with Parallels or WMware.
    I personally recommend Boot Camp, however, since it only uses the resources for one OS at a time.

  • Windows laptops can't connect to Macbook Pro shared internet when WEP security is on

    As the title states, my Windows laptops can't connect to Macbook Pro shared internet when WEP security is on.  My iPhone has no problem asking for the password when I try to access the shared internet my MacBook Pro on Mountain Lion is sending, but my Samsung Slate on Windows 8 sees the network and only succeeds in connecting when no password is required.  When security is on, it just tries for a moment and says it can't connect to the network without ever prompting me for the password.  The same thing occurs on my Asus Netbook running Windows XP.  Since all the reviews about OS X's internet sharing mentions "any wifi device" can access it, I haven't assumed it's only compatible with Apple products.  I want my MacBook Pro to save me from needing an external router.

    I would post a new question, outline the specific problem you are having and skip all the extra. Outline any steps you have taken already to try and solve the problem. Post the question in the forum most likely to have followers who can answer your question. Give your topic a good title such as: My MacBook Pro cannot connect to my WEP-enabled PC.
    Provide any hardware information that may be relevant such as the make and model of your router and method of connection - wired or wireless.
    I'm no authority, but have you tried using WPA2/Personal on your PCs? This method is most compatible with Macs.
    If the WEP password is a hexadecimal password then on the Mac you need to preceed the number with a $ sign or the hex digits, 0x.
    These links may be useful:

    AirPort Express- Difficulty joining 3rd-party network that is using WEP
