HT4410 Newbie MAC user...Boot Camp question

I have the OS X 10.7.2. I need to be able to access web statements for our franchise, but according to our IT contact, the web statements are not compatible with Apple, only Windows. Does anyone know if Boot Camp will solve this issue for me? Thanks!

You want to run Windows natively, you do so with Boot Camp Assistant.
Want to run Windows as a Guest OS VM within Mac OS, you use one of the three VM programs.
When you are running Windows it is 99% Windows.
Try the various browsers first and change the User Agent from auto detect and check their support forums.
Things that aren't compatible with Apple aren't WWW standard or relies on MS Active-X. Or Apple's Safari. So try Firefox, Opera, OmniWeb or Chrome.

I want to use Windows on my Mac, but Boot Camp doesn't work (Mac OS X 10.7.3)

Everyone knows that w/ Boot Camp you can use Windows on Mac, but I can't.

common issues:
downloading the drivers with Boot Camp Assistant
Not reading the guide from in Boot Camp Assistant
Wanting to use XP (not supported)
Not enough disk space
Space is too fragmented - and people don't know or understand the error or how to even backup and then erase and restore (very basic part of prevention and use of computers).

The Boot Camp Assistant can burn Boot Camp software (drivers) to a DVD or copy it to a USB storage device, such as a flash drive or hard drive. These are the only media you can use to install Boot Camp software.

General Boot Camp Question

Hello everyone.
I have this issue where I am trying to install Windows on my Mac but every time, after about 45 minutes or partitioning I get this message:
"Back up the disk and use Disk Utility to format it as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume. Restore your information to the disk and try using Boot Camp Assistant again."
I have 2 issues:
1)I don't know how to back up the disc and...
2)I don't have an extra hard drive to back it up to.
Here's the real kicker. It is already formatted as a "single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume" and here is the pic of my issue:

I have tried using Boot Camp once before and it worked just perfectly, but I had to back out in the middle of the process of installing Windows, but I reopened Boot Camp and erased that partition, so it should be perfect.
Thank you all for help. This has been driving me crazy. xD

How can I use Microsoft Access on my Mac? Boot camp?

Running Windows or using a suite such as Libre Office. It is similar to Office 2007 for Windows, but runs on a Mac, and contains a database manage that is Access compatible.

Mac pro boot camp partition cloned to MBP?

i have a 200 GB mac pro boot camp partition with windows 7 on it and between setting it up and getting all my software customized it has been like doing time in a soviet gulag.
if i create a 200 GB partition on my MBP can i clone this from one machine to another?
it would save me a heck of a lot of time and aggravation
TIA
p.s not sure if this makes a difference but my mac pro is a first generation deal that required amy burning a image to disk or something along those lines...

Do you know what I do to get 10.5?
Purchase it if the computer doesn't include it.
Also, I don't understand why the drivers are going to be on older software that doesn't have Boot Camp bundled with it.
The drivers are not on a Mac OS X 10.4 CD or DVD. They are on the Mac OS X 10.5 DVD.
Leopard has Boot Camp bundled with it doesn't it? Isn't part of the deal upgrading and improving the drivers?
Yes.
You say in the above "or use up a Windows installation"
This only applies if the Windows disk or license agreement allows you to create a limited number of installations.
Are you saying here that I could also reformat the drive with XP on it?
You could, but there is little reason to do so.
Do I have to reconfigure my workspaces if I do the second option above?
If you erase the Windows partition, yes.

Reinstalling Mavericks depends on several factors:
if you erased your recovery partition
what OS originally came on your Mac.
I'll assume you don't have a backup available that you made before your mishap, because you didn't mention it.
That's really the take home message here: have a backup!
If you still have your recovery partition:
boot into the recovery partition (command R at restart)
use the recovery partition to reinstall Mavericks. see: OS X: About OS X Recovery
if you do not still have your recovery partition, then it depends on whether your Mac originally came with installer disks or not.
If it originally came with installer disks, you would boot from the installer disks, erase your HD, and then reinstall the OS that is on the installer disks, and then upgrade as necessary until you get to Mavericks.
If your mac did not originally come with installer disks, but you managed to erase your recovery partition, then you can try to boot into internet recovery (option-command-R at restart), and use internet recovery to erase your HD and reinstall the OS that originally came with your computer, and then upgrade to Mavericks if you need to. See: Hands on with Mountain Lion's OS X Recovery and Internet Recovery | Macworld
(the reference refers to ML but it applies just as well to Mavericks).

How do i boot back to mac after boot camp? I was in the middle of installing windows 7 when i received an error message saying the partition needs to be in a diff format ( NFTS ). I tried restarting my mac but now its saying "no bootable device - insert boot disk"

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You have to format the volume using NTFS in Windows installer. After you've installed Windows, press X key while your computer is starting to start in Mac OS X

Hi Rajthumar,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
You can install Windows 7 or Windows 8 ISO using a USB flash drive. Please read over and reference the attached link for information on using Boot Camp to install Windows.

Boot Camp Question .... I just bought a 2013 late model Mac Book Pro Retina and am wondering if it is worth installing windows through boot camp. If I install the windows component in order to run an exe file and its component "Declans Korean Flash Cards"

I just bought a 2013 late model Mac Book Pro Retina and am wondering if it is worth installing windows through boot camp.
If I install the windows component in order to run an exe file and its component "Declans Korean Flash Cards"... will it make my mac suseptible to viruses overall due to having a windows component? also will it make my mac slower as well

If you are only going to use one or two window only programs then I wouldn't waste the space. Try WinonX it allows you to install exe. Files on Mac without installing windows.

2 Boot Camp Questions

Good Evening Folks,
Two quick questions for a newbie to both mac and the boot camp program.
1) I am using a apple brand external modem for my dial-up connection (Yes, I know I am still in the stone age). When I use XP in boot camp it of course does not recognize the modem. Any ideas on what I could do or if there is a way to have it recognize the modem? Without the modem I have no way to get online when using xp.
2) I know that you can transfer files very easily from mac to xp via the drive on your desktop. What about when you are in windows mode. How would I access something on the mac side or say put a picture or song on the mac side?
Any and all advise is very much appreciated.
Thanks all,
John

I'm writing you, from XP side, using external USB Dial up, the maker is Best data, model # 56USBP , it's a Data AND Faqx modem, and works/made for both Mac and PC's. ($45.00)
There are 3 makers I found, that make a model made for both Mac's and PC's, and comes with the software for both OS's . One important item, the model for PC's must be for Win..ws XP WITH service pack 2, if it's just xp, it may not work. Besides Best data model above, Zoom modem makes 1, and also a model from Diamond, a Diamond Supra ----# I forget. In my case, I called Best data, (who say they now own/merged w/ DiamonD) , they had to send me, (email or regular mail, I chose em) a newer driver, for it to work w/ XPP Serv pack 2. In closing, I tried burning the new drivers on my iMac side, (I couldn't get online on the PC/Win..ws side). The iMac burned disc, WOULD NOT work on the Win..s side, I went to a local copy store, (Kinko's), and burned the email w/ drivers from a PC, on getting home it now worked, thus, burn a pc drviver from a pc, to a pc, If I find the exact model #'s of the other 2, Zoom and Diamond, I'll repost, but the above works. G'luck

Hard Drive Full - After Reboot, Will Not Boot to Mac OS - Boot Camp OK Tho?

Hello all,
I having a severe issue with my 2007 Macbook Pro 2.33 w/10.6.xx (I believe I'm up to 10.6.2). Yesterday I was on the net in Firefox and got a message from the OS that my hard drive was full and that I had to kill some running apps to recover needed virtual memory. I killed everything but Firefox, finished my web-based game and shut down. The next time I attempted to start the computer, it would not go past the "gray screen with Apple logo and spinning wheel". In fact, if I hold the option key at startup, I can see my Windows Boot Camp partition, any bootable CD/DVD I might have in the drive and "EFI Boot" only. I cannot see Macintosh HD as option.
Here is a list of things I have done/tried:
1. The day before yesterday, Mac OS (10.6.xxx) informed me on my 2007 15" 2.33 MBP that it was out of HDD space and I needed to kill some apps to recover virtual memory.
2. I force killed everything but FF since I was in a game of Settlers on Asobrain at the time!
3. The computer ran fine for the rest of the session.
4. When I rebooted, all I could get was gray screen and spinning wheel.
5. I forced shut down, tried again, same thing.
6. I tried resetting PRAM with Ctrl-Cmd-P-R at startup, same thing.
7. I tried booting to safe mode. I got past login but it never loaded anything but the default background wallpaper. I shutdown.
8. I booted from the Snow Leopard DVD and ran disk verify, then disk repair but it could not be completed as the drive has been "corrupted".
9. At this point all I get upon startup now is Gray screen w/ Apple, then spinning wheel with progress bar that never goes anywhere then it shuts itself down.
10. When I start the computer in Target Disk Mode (TDM), only my Boot Camp partition will mount, not my Mac HD
11. *I do have boot camp installed, with XP Pro, and it will boot without a problem. In fact, I have HFSExplorer (a free utility f . or reading HFS volumes while in Windows) installed on the Windows side and I can see/browse folders on the Mac partition, so on the fact alone that I can boot to windows I know I don't have a HDD failure.
12. I have also tried booting to Single User mode which worked, I got the prompt. I tried using the "fsck -fy" command and it could not repair the volume.
13. I have tried creating an image of the Macintosh HD while in Disk Utility booted from the Mac Install DVD, but I get an "i/o error".
Please help! Any good suggestions, help, etc. is much appreciated! -Kyler

Hello and welcome to the discussions. All OS X drives need to keep 10-15% free space. If you were operating with less that that capacity, it is quite possible that some files were overwritten. Thus corrupted. The only thing that I could suggest is to try to copy your drive to an external HD or another Mac (Space permitting) Then reinstall using the install disc. You will then have to physically copy files from the external to your new install.
How large was your HD and how much free space does it have? You can use the install disc and Disk Utility to find out.
Cheers,
Glynn
