HT203909 Why can't you provide specific instructions here about how to make the USB drive bootable?  The article referenced is not dedicated to Bootcamp--too long, too many options.  How do you make it bootable?

Why can't you provide specific instructions here in HT203909 (Boot Camp: Creating an ISO image from a Windows installation DVD) about how to make the USB drive bootable?  The article referenced for partitioning the drive is not dedicated to Bootcamp--too long, too many options.  How do you make it bootable?

If your BC Assistant shows the option to create a USB Installer, it automatically is marked as bootable. There is no need to have manual intervention to make a bootable USB. Once the process is manually modified, it is supported by the person modifying it.
You have two or three options (depending on your Mac Model).
1. Create USB... - Use a USB2 flash drive, which is erased and formatted. If your Mac supports ISOs then BCA will prompt for the Media. Any Mac which does not have a built-in Optical drive will support an ISO. There are specific Mac models which support both, DVD and USB based installation.
2. Download Software from Apple servers...
3. Install Windows...
Are any additional instructions really necessary?

  • Where can I find the USB driver for the serial to USB adapter?

    I have a Palm IIIc with the serial HotSync cradle and USB adapter but I dont have the driver disc for it and was wondering if there was a page within the site here I could download it from?
    The OS platform needed for the driver is Win2000 / XP.
    TIA,

    I did a Google search and found this link:
    http://www.gilsson.com/usb_drivers_download.htm
    It had the Prolific USB-to-Serial driver for WinXP. I downloaded & installed it. It created a COM5 port that my Palm Desktop found automatically. I hit the HotSync and, presto!, everything works perfectly. I only spent 5 hours trying to solve this problem for my dad.
    He hadn't HotSync'd his Palm IIIxe to his home laptop since NOV2005!! And he hadn't HotSync'd to his work PC since he retired in JUL2008 (and he doesn't have access to that PC anymore).
    I'll repeat this post in the other threads I queried on. I hope this helps someone solve their USB-to-Serial Adapter Driver problems.

  • Can you program a Slave's Node ID or Zone ID using the USB-8476 as the LIN Master?

    I am planning on using the USB-8476 LIN interface as the LIN bus Master in an application.  The application would require the USB-8476 (Master) to program a Node ID and Zone ID into a slave device that is on the LIN bus.  The slave device is a PIC12F1822 mcu + MCP2021 LIN transceiver.  After reading through the User/Software Manual for the USB-8476, it does NOT seem possible to assign an ID to a slave device.  It seems like you can only communicate with slaves that already have an ID programmed into their memory.  The Node/Zone ID terminology is used by our customer and may not conform exactly to the IDs associated with LIN.  I am new to the LIN world, so please let me know if you need more information about what I'm trying to accomplish.  Can you program a Slave's Node ID or Zone ID using the USB-8476 as the LIN Master?

    No need to respond to this topic.  The company that builds the slave device has a communications specification that was recently provided to me.  I should be able to use the NI USB-8476 and a call to the ncWrite function (NI-CAN Frame API function) to accomplish my goals.

    What did Apple tell you about what they did (or did not) find here?
    See if working on the main disk is any faster.
    USB2 is glacial, as I/O interconnects go.  And USB2 disks have been known to fail, or sometimes to drop back to USB1 speeds, too.  FireWire 800 is substantially faster than USB2, but still not as fast as the internal drive connections can provide.
    Put another way, start varying your configuration, and see which configuration changes (still) have the problem, and which don't.

    Accidents happen, and apple can certainly assist you with replacement of said device.  Most manufacters would tell you to buy a brand new retail unit, apple will charge you about half price for a replacement unit.  I agree its unfortunate that it happend, but expecting a free replacement is just going to lead to disappointment

    why can't I charge me ipod shuffle on another computer? My "home computer" is the one at work.

    So you are trying to connect your iPod Shuffle to another computer you don't normally sync it with is that correct?  And it won't charge for some reason?  How are you connecting it?  To a USB or a USB port located directly on the PC?

  • My hard drive crashed. I slaved the old drive, but did not make a backup of my bookmarks. how can I transfer my bookmarks from the old drive to the new one?

    My original hard drive was replaced due tom multiple errors. Before it crashed completely, I installed a new hard drive and slaved the old one to allow me to access the data and transfer it to the new one. I did not backup the bookmarks. How can I pull the old bookmarks from the old drive to the new installation drive???

    Since you said you were able to transfer the data from your old drive to the new one, you probably still have the old Firefox Profile. Please read this article to see if it helps:

  • How do you get Photos to recognize the "old" iPhoto Library on an external drive without it copying it to the internal drive on the computer which is low in HD space?

    How do you get Photos to recognize the “old” iPhoto Library on an external drive without it copying it to the internal drive on the computer which is low in HD space?

    Launch Photos while holding down the alt/options key.
    This will show the Library Chooser panel. Select the library on the external drive. Photos will create a Photos Library on the same drive.
    Photos may not be able to open the library, however, if your external drive has an incompatible file system. It needs to be formatted MacOS Extended (Journaled) and locally mounted, not a remotely mounted volume, as described here:  Format external drives to Mac OS Extended before using with Aperture

    Why can I upgrade my mc086bt (iPod 3g) to ios 5? it says I have the current version

    You probably have a 2G iPod and those can only go to 4.2.1.  If 8 or 16 GB it is a 2G. A 32 GB can be either . To identify yours:

    Hello RumDog,
    I think this article will help you find the media in your library.
    Where are my iTunes files located?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1391
    Discovering and changing the iTunes Media folder location
    Note: You would usually only change the iTunes Media folder location to share music between accounts on the same computer. See this article for specific steps on how to accomplish this. Also, see this article if you want to know how to move your music to a new computer.
    Mac OS X: Click the iTunes menu and choose Preferences.
    Windows: Click the Edit menu and choose Preferences.
    Click the Advanced pane. iTunes displays the location of your iTunes Media folder.
    You can then:
    Note where your media folder is, such as for backing up your media.
    Use the Reset button to reset it's location to the default (which is the iTunes folder).
    Click the Change button to select a folder for a new location. Once you change this location:
    If you make a new or alternate iTunes library, the new location will be used by that library.
    Existing files will not be moved unless you choose File > Library > Organize library and choose the option to "Consolidate files."

  • Can anyone explain when the USB port on the Express is really needed?

    Back with another question!
    My Airport Express is used only for my Canon printer (MP980), nothing else. I know, with hooking up my new Mac Mini, I'll get new drivers from Apple and will need to install some of the updated software from Canon... from what I've read, I won't try to use the disc that originally came with the printer.
    Since I'll join my Airport network for printing after my older Mini is disconnected, when is there a need to use the USB port on the Express? I've read that it's used for connecting multiple computers to the network. But, I'm having some confusion with this. With my network up and running, I assume I would be able to use my old Mini and the new Mini on the same network, if I decided to unplug one and use the other one for a short time, since my network settings won't change. (I have but one monitor!). Is a USB connection to the printer only required if multiple computers are shared simultaneously with the printer via Airport Express?? I never really understood this completely. All I expect to do for a few months is occasionally unplug one Mini for the other as I save some files onto disc, etc.
    Did I make sense?

    you can hook up a printer (or a Keyspan remote to control iTunes). one aspect may be location. what if you want the printer in a different room or on a different floor in the house ?

    yes, you can also share a printer connected to your mini with other client machines.
    btw, you could use the +screen sharing+ feature to access and manage the screenless mini.
    Is a USB connection to the printer only required if multiple computers are shared simultaneously with the printer via Airport Express??
    no, all machines on your network could use a printer connected to either of your mini's or connected to the AX.
