  • 27" iMac Bootcamp Windows 7 Pro and second 27" iMac as external screen

    I have a 27" iMac with Windows 7 Pro 64bit on it and it runs great. I would like to have a second 27" screen, unfortunately Apple made a mistake with the design of the Cinema Display, it's not the same size or has the same looks as an iMac. So i would like to buy a second 27" iMac just to use it as an external monitor. I know this works on OSx, but i don't use OSx, just Windows 7 pro.
    Does any of you know that this works? Have you tested it yourself? How does it work?
    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Did you follow these steps?
    Insert a blank disc.
    Start Disk Utility.
    From the File menu, choose Open Disk Image and select the ISO to be burned.
    In the list of volumes, you will now see an item representing the ISO file. Select it.
    Click the Burn button and follow the instructions.

  • IMac, Bootcamp, Windows 8.1, Fusion Drive - not working

    Hey there,
    as many other here I habe problems installing Windows 8.1 on my iMac (late 2013) with a 3TB Fusion Drive.
    I'm playing around with that installation about 3 days or so.
    Even got a problem where I couldn't delete  partition and suddenly got a second logical volume group
    Somehow I could fix that.
    I tried to install it with the help of Threads which are already opened here but had no success.
    I just want a plain Windows version, not on that SSD part of my Fusion Drive, just about 500GB of Windows
    And maybe there is a chance without reinstalling Yosemite?
    Hopefully you can help me through that process.
    And many thanks in advance, here is the output of my disk:

  • IMac Bootcamp: windows support software

    Hi! Recently I installed windows 7 on my iMac. It installed perfectly however, it is like certain drivers are missing.
    I did some research and discovered that the windows support software is actually important. So I downloaded the software from the Bootcamp application and put it on my USB. I booted in windows and attempted to install it but windows said:  Bootcamp x64 is unsupported on this computer model.
    How can I fix this? It is the latest support software.
    If this helps: iMac late 2009. Intel core 2 duo @ 2.66. 8 gb ram.

    You will find better support for Boot Camp in the Boot Camp forum.

  • Imac/bootcamp/windows

    I am new to boot camp and want to run windows for just a few applications like Quickbooks.  Where do I purchase Windows and is there a certain version I need to buy to run it in bootcamp on my imac or can I just buy it straight from Microsoft?
    I would prefer to download it immediately online but it seems like I have to wait for the disc in the mail.  I want Windows 7, not Windows 8 because I hear 8 is horrible.

    What you hear is people get attached to one thing, don't know how to minimize Metro and probably have not used 8.1
    you dont need to run Windows natively. A VM will do fine for what you say you want.
    Windows 7 OEM System Builder. if you had Amazon Prime it would be there in 2 days, Friday ordering now. Or Newegg longer. Two most popular.

  • Windows brutally slow on my iMac (Bootcamp)

    Hey guys,
    first of all I would like to say sry, if my english isn't propper enough and lacks sometimes. I'm from germany...but anyway, here's my problem. ;-)
    I have an 21,5 inch iMac mid 2011 with an intel i5, 4gb memory, AMD Radeon HD 6750 512 mb and a 500 GB Harddrive ( NOT SSD!! ).
    All in all my iMac is working well with Mavericks on it but since last year I'm still trying to get windows work properly on it, but it just doesn't.
    I tried different ways of installing windows on it. Through the normal BootCamp process, through a USB install method and also with a way, to install windows with VMware. It's a bit tricky cause you first start installing windows through the virtual machine, though it gets installed on a partition as a windows partition, just like bootcamp. But no matter what I tried, my windows is just slow, specially on the startup.
    My last way to install it was this: I reinstalled mavericks, comepltley clean install. Updated mavericks, started bootcamp and went through the normal installation process. The bootcamp support software gets downloaded, a partition gets created and then it restarts to boot from CD to install windows then. In this case it is windows 8.1, but i tried it with 8 and also with 7 and it makes no difference. The installation process works well, without any problems. The drivers from the current bootcamp support software mostly gets installed automaitcally when windows starts the first time, if not, is just start the steup exe from within the support software. So far so good.
    Now I finally will come to my problem...:D
    Windows just runs slow like sh**. The boot process until i can log into my account works well, I have for example not the problem with the blinking cursor at the windows boot, like lot of people had. I'm within 23 seconds or so at the login window but then it's just horrible. When I type in my password it takes like 12 seconds to get me to the desktop and once Im on it, it takes 20-30 seconds more to get windows running so that I can open an internet browser. For example Skype, which I have in my autostart, takes at least 20 seconds to open and that's just not normal. I tried a lot, believe me....I tried disabling all the autostart programs, though I dont wanna disable them in general, cause I need a few in the autostart, but it didnt make a difference anyway. Even when I enable the automatic login that I dont have to type in my password, it makes no difference. Windows takes just years to get ready once Im on the desktop.
    And again, all the drivers are up to date, I installed them from the newest bootcamp support software and even checked manually if updates are avaible.
    To me it just seems that something is going wrong with the driver load at the beginning of windows. My hard drive istn broken as well, cause mavericks is running without any problems and also i checked the drive with many tools for problems. Yes, I defragmanted my drive under windows and I actually did everything you find on the interent. But still, it just makes no difference. I know that windows is propably not so fast at the start up but what I see isnt normal. I saw many macs on youtube with bootcamp windows on its and windows was running completley normal on it.
    I mean, its not normal that it takes me up to 1 minute from the moment i type in my password, to get a browser open and google the internet. Oh and before I forget it, when I have a anti virus software installed and takes even longer...when i disable all anti virus malware else what programs, it gets a bit quicker, but i guess the problem sitll exist. Also I dont log into my windows with an internet microsoft account, its an offline sign in. Just saying that cause a lot of people on the internet say that the internet login can be slow someitmes.
    So I have no more ideas what to do but I'm pretty sure there is a problem, it's not normal that it takes that long. I recently took a look into some boot log file on windows, dont know exactly what it was but there were many startup items which were causing problems and a slow startup proces. For example the "windows driver module" with the error code 101 took 9 seconds to load. But I have no clue about that boot analyze stuff, so I cant say more about that.
    EDIT: One important note I should make, is, that after it takes that long to work properly, it runs pretty fast and nromal then. Its not that slow the whole time! It's just the start proces or better the login process, what I am talking about. Once the "years" are over whene I log into windows, it runs well then. Thats why I think something with the drivers isnt working properly. Also, in the moment when it takes that long, my hard drive is 100% in use when i look into the task manager...
    I hope someone of you can help me and I'm looking forward to hopefully hear from you!!
    again: sry for my english.
    Cheers!
    Max

    Well...I have already checked msconfig and the automatic startup items. I have looked for all the non-microsoft things and disabled them, to see if it makes a difference. But it makes no difference. Disabling microsoft things in the msconfig isn't really what I wanna do, cause I have no clue about these system files.
    I have also checked a boot analyze section to see if, and what causes trouble at the start. There were a couple of things which slowed down my start process. One thing that seemed to causes a lot trouble was a file called "windows driver installer module" or something like that. But its a system file, I cant simply delete it or something.
    And before you say now: check for the newest drivers...I have the up to date drivers from the bootcamp support software and also checked manually for maybe an update. But it is as up to date as it gets. If it isn't a "bootcamp" issue, what is it then? I would agree with you that it isn't a bootcmap issue, cause bootcamp pretty much does nothing except downloading the support software and making a useless fat32 partition to boot off from...well if you have the usb install optoin, bootcamp does a bit more for you. But anyway... Whatever the problem is, it can't be solved be reinstalling windows or something like that. I reinstalled it many times, windows 7, 8 or 8.1. I fromated the whole system with mavericks to start it over then again, but there are still these problems. 14 seconds waiting when I type in my password, 30-40 seconds more once im on the desktop, until I can open a browser. The strange thing is, after that time, everything works well and windows is running fast..
    You said, that almost have the same imac as me. So how exactly did you install windows? Was it like: You started bootcamp downloaded the support software on a usb drive, made a partition and booted off from an install ddvd to install windows?
    Cause thats what I did, which is exactly the way it should be....Did you install windows only on a partition on your main hard drive or on a second hard drive?

  • How can i install a windows version 8 on a 3 year old iMac 27 (only windows and nothing else not via bootcamp = result shut be a clean iMac with windows - no

    If you don't want Boot Camp and you don't want a virtual machine, go buy a Windows computer.
    Both Boot Camped Windows and Windows running in a virtual machine work well. Your issues are because of your lack of knowledge or understanding, not because Boot Camp and virtual machines are poor products. Universities, large and small businesses, home users, etc. use virtual machines to run their operating systems.
    Your statements about Boot Camp and Parallels are not the experience of thousands of users.
    Either find someone who is knowledgeable about running Windows on Apple computers to help you or buy a Windows computer. Believe me, if you find a way to install only Windows on your Apple computer without using Boot Camp or a virtual machine you will have more problems than what you have already experienced.

  • Bootcamp Windows 7 Install Problem

    Hi,
    I am having problems Installing Windows 7 via Bootcamp on My Macbook Pro 13" Early 2011 (running Mavericks) and was wondering if anyone could help/offer advice.
    I took out the optical drive and put in an SSD a while ago, and now I want to install Windows 7 on the SSD. So firstly I tried installing it using a Windows 7 disc and an external optical drive but apparently you can't install it using that method (when you try to install it comes up with a blank screen and blinking cursor). Next I made a bootable USB using an ISO image, and tried to install via the BCA. But when I restart and try to install, it comes up with a black screen saying there is no bootable drive present; I have even tried holding down alt on start up to see what options I have for booting but all I have is the recovery drive and my SSD.
    One thing I have read is that I can buy an external SuperDrive, amend the coding in the terminal (or somewhere) which will make the drive compatible with my mac, and then install Windows 7 via Disc through BCA that way. Does any one know if this will work before I purchase one?
    Does anyone know of any other methods?
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    On Macs with built-in Optical drives, there is no supported method of installing Windows, if the Optical drive has been removed. There are possible solutions, but there are convoluted.
    Here is an example - http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?p=20584499#post20584499
    You can put back your Optical drive temporarily, and install Windows.

  • I have an email account causes the machine to hang up after being in use for a day.  It only occurs on my Macbook Pro and only one particular account.  The problem account works fine on my iMac and Windows Machines.  Any ideas what is causing this?

    I have an email account causes the machine to hang up after being in use for a day.  It only occurs on my Macbook Pro and only one particular account.  The problem account works fine on my iMac and Windows Machines.  I have been to the local Genius bar and through trial and error we have determined that Mail is working ok but somehow the account is causing the problem.  I have used this account for years.  Any ideas what is causing this?

    No idea why, but one thing you may try if you have the time, is create a new user, and set up the problem mail account in the new user space. See if it causes your MBP to hang as well.  That will tell you if it is something wrong with your main User, or something wrong with MBP.
    Assuming this works, I'd nuke the problem account in your main user space, re-start, and reinititate the account and see if that helps.
    Depening on how many email accounts you have setup, it may be necessary to nuke the whole Mail folder in your User/Library....   Hard way to get it to work, but just my idea.

  • Bootcamp Driver Problems in Windows 8

    I use a MBP 13" 2010 model, and I've used it for a long time, but it's never had any problems with Bootcamp until now.
    Last month I bought a copy of Windows 8 Pro x64 (disc) and I wanted to install it on my recently clean-installed Mac. I installed it with no problems using Bootcamp. Booting into Windows 8, I found that the Bootcamp Drivers weren't compatible with Windows 8, but I looked up a guide that told me just to install the drivers one by one. I did that and rebooted.
    The drivers still didn't work for some reason. The brightness controls weren't adjustable, the keyboard shortcuts didn't work, the trackpad failed as well, and numerous other problems plagued me in Windows mode. I re-installed the drivers and rebooted, but it still didn't work. I even installed the Nvidia display driver seperately, but no go. Is this Bootcamp's problem? Most likely the driver's out of date.
    So I'm stuck using my office computer now, until I can find a way to fix this. Any help would be appreciated.

    defan752,
    I recently put Windows 8 (64bit) on my 15" 2009 MBP. I performed a clean install utilizing Boot Camp. I followed instructions found online. Prior to installing Win8, I had WinXP installed on a partition, which worked perfectly.
    For my Win8 installation I upgraded my MBP's OS from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion. Mountain Lion comes with a newer version of Boot Camp (version 4.0 - I believe). The newer version has a slightly different process for driver installation. It has you create a driver installation disc within the Boot Camp Asstant software running on my Mac BEFORE creating the partition and installation. First it will connect to the interenet and download the latest support files for the drivers for your machine, then it will ask you to insert a blank disc, upon which it will write Windows friendly installation file (the disc contained an executable file [.exe] which is to be run on the newly installed windows parition). While Boot Camp (4.0 or whatever it is that came with Mountain Lion) doesn't have official support for Windows 8, utilizing the Windows 7 installation method will create a Driver CD that works in Win8. After creation of driver disc, follow the normal installation instructions (create partition, install win8). Once Win8 finishes installing, go to the desk top (Windows Button + D), pop in the driver disc and the Executable file. After the file runs the drivers will be installed but will require a reboot in order to be utilized. Reboot your machine and you should be good to go.
    NOTE: hold on to that driver disc, I have already had to use it to repair some of my drivers that got messed (my own fault, not mac's or MS) and reran the executable file which fixed everything again.
    NOTE: You will be able to utilize much of the drivers in the Win8 environment, however there are limitations. While the trackpad supports multitouch, it is limited (two finger right click, two finger scrolling). The nifty new multitouch gestures in Win8, are not yet supported. I suspect they will be with future updates to these drivers. But we won't get that until Boot Camp can fully support Win8. Also I noticed that my speakers don't switch to headphones when I plug them in, nor does it recognize the toslink connection. I'm still looking for answers to those problems.
    For more details regarding the driver support in Windows 8 running on a Mac i found this website useful:

  • My iMac keyboard not responding in Bootcamp Windows 8 with drivers installed

    Hi,
    I'm using late-2012 27.1 inches iMac and using Apple Wireless Keyboard, I've installed Windows 8 on bootcamp for a long time now, all drivers are working fine, keyboard is also working perfectly. Then one day, I decided to install a new controller driver from a software called DS3 Tool and when I installed the controller driver, the keyboard switches off and not functioning, I went over to the Driver Manager and it says my keyboard is offline, I checked the battery and it is full, i tried restarting, still not functioning, so I tried switch to Mac OSX, the keyboard works flawlessly but in the Bootcamp Windows, it does not. So can anyone help me fix this

    In the past the Apple keyboard would easily adjust the brightness or I could use the Bootcamp Control Panel and use a slider to change the brightness settings.  The keyboard function keys (F1 and F2) pop up the brightness control options and shows the onscreen slider moving as I am changing the display setting but there is no actual brightness change.  The Bootcamp Control Panel has actually removed the Brightness Tab as if to indicate this freature is not available. (Bootcamp version 3.2 and 3.3).    I can Image this Win 7 copy to an 21" Wide Screen 2009 release of the Imac that has a Nvidia Chipset and the Bootcamp Control Panel now displays the Brightness Tab AND the Keyboard control option works perfectly. 
    Suggestions?

    You're probably seeing bad performance because you don't have the latest graphics drivers installed. The ones provided by Apple's Windows support software are long out of date. Going to AMD's main website and navigating to the download section won't get you the correct files. This is a direct link to the proper driver.

  • Is iMac, Bootcamp and Windows XP 100% a PC

    My friend and his wife own an accounting practice with 4 staff.
    They use IRIS Accountancy Practice Software, which itself uses the latest SQL Server technology and Microsoft Windows XP.
    He has a PC at home, which his wife uses to work on the office system.
    He needs to replace a PC and is attracted to the iMac for home – attractive, space saving, etc.
    He is not technical and relies 100% on third party support who also supply his PC’s.
    IRIS and the support company say the IRIS software will not run on Apple.
    I have tried to persuade them that with an iMac, Bootcamp and Microsoft Windows XP he will be running IRIS on a PC not on an Apple. Am I correct?
    Does anybody have experience (good or bad) of such a set up?
    Is the iMac with Bootcamp and XP, 100% a PC? This is a business decision and he will not buy the iMac without 100% confidence.

    MacBook Pro was rated as one of the top three Vista laptops and supports 64-bit versions.
    I think running on Apple meant "doesn't run on PowerPC" actually, and there are programs of course that aren't ported to OS X.
    A lot of IT organizations run servers as virtual environment to better use idle resources and lower costs. Apple's Xserve is often used for running Windows 2008 or any other flavor.
    You might even want to look at VMware products and run XP inside OS X.
    You can't run OS X as a VM except in OS X server, which is a shame, great for testing.
    Your iMac is Intel Mac.
    Compaq was one of the first, along with a German company, to provide "100% IBM Compatible" ISA hardware. Eventually, it became "PC" rather than the longer name, microprocessor (with mini and mainframe being the other two main architectures).

    And then there is this story on Apple service and support, that you rarely find with PCs:

    I've been running Vista now for two years since it went RC1. On Mac Pro.
