HT5628 Bootcamp with dvd MS Windows 8 x86/x64 not possible?

Bootcamp 5 gives official Apple support for installing Windows 8 so I'd like to install it on my MacBook Pro 13" Retina.
I was thinking to make a partititon of just 32gb. I don't need more, I just need this for my job with a program called MS Mappoint 2013 working just on Windows (no good alternatives for mac).
I have just a Windows 8 Pro DVD with support for both x86 and x64 installation.
Using Apple's External Superdrive it seems that Bootcamp recognizes Win dvd but it does not really want to use this dvd.
It keeps on telling me that I need a x64 version. If this DVD have got a x64 version, what's wrong?
I even tried to make a "manual bootcamp" by using disk utility, made partition 32gb FAT32, restart... windows installing program starts correctly but when you have to choose where to install it, all the partitions are not usable, not even erasing them, not even formatting them.
I don't really want to use any of Parallels or Vmware...
Anybody can help me?

Thanks for your advice BobTheFisherman.
I tried also with 100gb but Bootcamp repeats me that it needs a Windows x64 dvd.
Mine is both x64 and x86 (my key is just for x64) but I cannot go further. It even do not make the partition for Win without that x64 disk.
What I do not understand it is why Windows 8 disk boots correctly (it means it is working), and why Bootcamp does not accept it even if it is a x64 disk.
I've used bootcamp often in my past macs with win xp or win 7 and it's been always soooo easy!
I never had those kind of problems!

I installed the CC trial with an error window saying: Could not create the file '/Users/dranim/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/13.2/dummy'. That was the first window. Heres the second: After Effects can't continue: unexpected failure during app

I installed the CC trial with an error window saying: Could not create the file '/Users/dranim/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/13.2/dummy'. That was the first window. Heres the second: After Effects can’t continue: unexpected failure during application startup I paid for the month subscription of 29.99. It claims it is downloading again?! Am I missing something here? Why is this process so complicated? I need to get this resolved asap and start working.

I originally had Adobe Photoshop Extended, then upgraded to the Production Suite. I ran the Adobe Cleaner, and that uninstalled most Adobe products, including my existing Adobe install, and then I re-installed everything with the same error code. Since CS4 came with CS5, I've installed AE CS4, but would really like to upgrade because I'm new to Creative Suite, and not sure how CS4 integrates with CS5...CS4 After Effects installed perfectly. I do have a 64 bit system, and installing to an OCZ Vertex 2....every other suite installs perfectly, except AE. And I think that is the coolest program in the Suite. I thank you all so much for taking the time to help, I really want to get AECS5 running...I did try to install after doing the recommended items Adobe suggests for Exit Codes 6 and 7, including turning off many startups...
I'm baffled....

You need to buy PSE13. But you can continue with PSE9 if you download and install the free DNG converter to convert your CR2 files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the DNG files will work with yoir existing software(keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)

No, it's not possible. You will need a Malaysian credit card or gift cards purchased in Maylasia.

That is possible, John, but it is only speculation on your part. Might, not will.

There is a "Lightroom 6" upgrade available for US $79 if you have a valid license for any of the earlier versions. From what I can tell, the only difference between Lightroom 6 Full, Lightroom 6 Upgrade and LightroomCC is in the license. The download file is the same.
Other differences - with CC you get LrMobile/LrWeb and they throw in a free copy of Photoshop too.
Yes, but when I bought my standalone license and clicked on the "Download" button it took me to the LightroomCC page. The downloaded file is named Lightroom 6, but in the CC app the installed program is LightroomCC (2015).

HP PhotoSmart C4599 problems with Wireless on Windows 7 x64

I've got a laptop (running on Windows Vista x86) that I use to print documents via Wireless and when i try to add the printer by wireless on the laptop it says the main computer (the one that is running Windows 7 x64) does not have the OEM proper driver installed, and it has...

Verify that power outlet is working with a lamp or other appliance.
Verify power cord and power module are correct parts for that specific printer. Compare the Output voltage on the power module (the black box) with the listed voltage on the printer where the power cord plugs in. These must be the same
Remove power cord and power module from printer and power outlet. Separate power cord and module (let stand for 15 seconds)
Plug Power Cord into Power Module (plug firmly together)
Plug Power Cord with module directly into WALL outlet (Remove any surge protector or extension cords and plug printer cord directly into wall socket)
Check to see if power cord or module has LED light.
If has LED make sure it is glowing (if not glowing then replace power cord and module)
If no LED Plug cord into printer - make sure it is plugged in properly and firmly.
Press power button on printer to power up. If does not power up first time hit power button a few times to see if it works.
if you happen to have another printer with same power cord configuration (fits specs) try these steps again
If printer will not become responsive at this point, then you'll need to replace the printer.
if it is a hardware issue, contact HP support at 1-800-474-6836. Often there are special offers on replacements available to returning customers who are having hardware issues.

Unable to burn CD/DVD - X200 - Windows 7 x64

X200 - 7458-CTO - Intel 4 Series chipset, Intel P8600 Duo Core Processor, 6 GB RAM, Intel Turbo Memory, latest BIOS from Lenovo site, all the Windows 7 X64 drivers from Lenovo site (manually loaded and loaded by the "update" process) Ultra Base with Mat**bleep**a UJ862A CD/DVD writer SB04.
Originally Windows XP Pro SP3 x32. December 24th upgraded to Windows 7 Pro, x64. Machine went through upgrade well. Only problem is inability to burn a CD/DVD using the Ultra Base (Mat**bleep**a) CD/DVD burner. Tried the "built-in" Windows 7 program and CDBurnerXP. Will burn 10 to 15% of the disk and then errors out.
I have disabled the Turbo Memory and it made no difference, rolled the Intel Storage software back to a previous version - no help. Have not found any other posts regarding this problem. Reads CD/DVD just fine - burning is the only problem. Have not found any newer drivers for the Mat**bleep**a CD/DVD device. Uninstalled device (through Device Manager) rebooted, found and reinstalled drive - still fails to burn a CD/DVD.
Will post on a couple other boards -
TIA, Michael

Tried different media brands - no change
Resolution= It works now - don't know what exactly I did - Ran the Lenovo System Update last night before leaving for home - following shows to be installed yesterday.
Windows "patch" KB958685 (shows correcting a "sleep" problem.)

Bootcamp only saying "install windows 7" , also not working with install disks

i want to install windows 8.1
as u can see bootcamp only says "install windows 7"
i think that i can't do a usb drive install without deleting everything off the only usb stick i have, right?
so i have an install disc instead, like u used to be able to do
should it be working with a disc?
i have a copy of windows 7 as well, so i even tried to install 7 off a disc and this is the message i get when i have either the 8.1 or 7 disc in the drive and i click "continue"
i also figured it would give me the option of how space to allocate before it asked for the install disk

For Macs with built-in Optical drive, you need the Windows installer on a DVD. What year/model is the Mac? (The option to create USB Installer is missing which is also a clue).
The Windows DVD is identified as 'legitimate'. From Boot Camp 5.1: Frequently asked questions - Apple Support
Which versions of Windows work with Boot Camp 5.1?
Boot Camp 5.1 supports 64-bit, non-Enterprise versions of Windows 7, Windows 8.0, and Windows 8.1. This version of Boot Camp doesn't support Windows XP, Windows Vista, or any 32-bit version of Windows. Depending on your Mac, you may be able to use an earlier version of Boot Camp to work with other versions of Windows. For details, see the Boot Camp system requirements for Microsoft Windows.

HP Pavilion DVD-3013eo recovery problem with dvd`s Win 7 x64

Hi, i have a problem with my dv7-3013eo pavilion, recovery dvd just wont work, they are original but here's the problem:
in recovery pavilion says something like this on start recovery program is not compatible of this version of windows, but it proceed, then it Boot's then the installation stars and then uiadump32exe crashes, and pavilion says start recovery again? that shall i do?
My windows version is WIndows 7 x64 Home, and computer is broken. dvd are fine and this is first time i have to use them.

Hi:
I don't have an answer for you, but I have a workaround if you can't get the recovery disks to work.
You will only have the option of installing the English, French or Spanish version of W7 Home Premium 64 bit.
If you can read the 25 character Microsoft windows 7 product key, you can download plain Windows 7 ISO files to burn to DVD's for the version of windows that came installed on your PC, and that is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC's case.
Burn the ISO using the Burn ISO option on your DVD burning program and burn at the slowest possible speed your program will allow. This will create a bootable DVD.
Use the 25 character product key on the PC to activate the installation.
The key will activate either a 32 or 64 bit installation.
Then go to the PC's support and driver page to install the drivers you need.
Link to the W7 ISO file downloads is below.
http://www.mydigitallife.info/official-windows-7-sp1-iso-from-digital-river/
Now, instead of burning these to a DVD, use the Windows 7 USB flash drive installation tool available at the link below and follow the instructions on the page to install.
You will need a 4 GB flash drive or larger.

Freezing Issues with Video Playlists - Windows 7 x64, iTunes 10

OK, I've been troubleshooting this problem to the best of my ability for weeks now. I can't come up with any solution, if anyone has any insight I would greatly appreciate it.
When playing videos from a playlist when one video ends but before another begins itunes becomes unresponsive. Sometimes a new video will start right away but it's rare, mostly an outright freeze, sometimes a new video will begin after about a minute or two of unresponsiveness.
This leads me to believe that when itunes is updating the library database files it is somehow getting stuck.
Interestingly enough, if I skip to the end of a video just to test if it will play the next in sequence it works perfectly. It only does this behavior when a video plays all the way through.
What I have tried already:
-Complete re-install of my entire OS after a clean format.
-Added all itunes files to the exception lists of my virus software (NOD32).
-Uninstalled virus software completely (same behavior without virus scanning software at all)
-Ran itunes as an administrator.
-Removed all devices from the PC with the exception of critical components, plus mouse and keyboard, sound card.
-Updated all drivers
-Ran itunes in compatability mode (Vista, XP)
-Completed all suggested items for "unexpected freezes" in the itunes help section.
I am running windows 7 x64, i7 @3.06GHz, 6GB Ram.
Running itunes 10.2.1.1
I briefly tried to downgrade to itunes 9, this seemed to clear up the problem. This is not a solution to me, I want the shared library features for my ipad.
All video files play fine in other media players.
Please help, I'm completely frustrated.

As much as I loathe thread bumpers I'm still at a loss as how to fix this issue. If anyone has any insight I would greatly appreciate it.

Lightroom6 instalation rejects installation on Windows 7 with remark that windows vista is not supported

I tried to install Lightroom 6 on my Windows 7 System
The installer jejects the Installation with the remark that Windows Vista is not supported by this product
Is that Problem known? Is any solution available?

Hi Michael,
You can follow the article: How to troubleshoot issues that may prevent a program from being installed correctly on a Windows Vista-based computer and check whether the installer is running in Compatible Mode or not.
If the check box for Compatibility Mode is checked and simply UnCheck it and click Apply.
Run the installer and again and check if it still gives you any error message.
Let us know if it works or not.
Thanks,
Ratandeep Arora
