HT5639 Can I install Win7 32-bit from a bootable USB-Stick on iMac using Boot Camp?

I would like to run Win7 32-bit on my iMac 8,1.
I have a bootable USB-Stick to install Win7.
Does Boot Camp support the installation from USB-Stick?
Thanks

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You can only install Windows from a USB drive in one of these Macs:
- MacBook Pro with Retina display.
- MacBook Air.
- Mac mini (Mid 2010 and newer).
- iMac (Late 2012).
As you don't have any of those Macs, you have to install Windows through a DVD. Also, the only iMac that can install Windows using a USB drive only supports a 64-bit Windows 7 and 8 version with Boot Camp

Here's the link to the BootCamp support page listing which Macs can run 64-Bit versions of Windows 7: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1846 I don't see your Mac listed, indicating you can only run Windows 7 32-Bit.

Having trouble installing windows 8.1 on my new iMac using boot camp

Hi,
I'm having an issue with trying to install windows 8.1 on my iMac.
OS X Yosemite version 10.10.1
iMac (27-inch, Late 2013)
3.2 GHz Intel Core i5
8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
1TB Storage
I'm getting the error:
"Boot Camp only supports Windows 7 or later installation on this platform. Please use an ISO file for Windows 7 or later installation."
I purchased and downloaded the Microsoft Windows 8.1 Upgrade Download from snaggstuff.com... I guess I'm wondering if it's an ISO file or if it's not is it possible to make it an ISO file?
Not sure what to do. Please help.
Thank you in advance,
-Heather

It depends on your uses. See > https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3321 Windows 8 works properly in Boot Camp, always that your iMac is compatible > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US You can only use the 64-bit Windows 8 edition.
Respecting to your processor, you may want to contact with Apple, as they may have sent you the iMac with a wrong processor

To install Windows 8 OS on a new iMac using Boot Camp, what size "partition" should I allocate for Windows on a system with 3TB Fusion drive?

I am trying to install Windows on a new iMac w/3TB Fusion drive. The system crashed on my first attempt but appears to have partitioned the drive correctly before crashing??? So, what size partition does Windows 8 need to operate effectively? Is "more" better??? or just over-kill? And, has anyone installed Winodow 8 on an iMac...and how did it work? Would apps like "Parallel Desktop" or "VM Ware Fusion" be a good idea and troubleless?
I will try again but not too confident that it may get worse before it gets better.
Regards....?
P.S. I configured this iMac with the i7 processor 3.5GHz with Turbo Boost to 3,9GHz. When I select "About this Mac" it diplays my i7 processor as a 3.4GHz instead. Do you think they ran out of the i7 3.5GHz and shoved a i5 3.4Ghz in the iMac to meet deliver schedule??? I there a way to check the real-time speed of my processor??.

How can i sync my work calendar from my iPhone 5 to my iMac using iCloud?

We just updated to the Mountain Lion software on the iMac and now i would like to be able to look and even create new appointments on my caldendar on the iMac and see them on my iPhone. Is this possible??

Yes. On your Mac log into you iCloud account in the System/iCloud preference pane and make sure Calendars and Reminders are checked:
On your iPhone log into the same iCloud account and make sure Calendars are turned on:
Then entries on either device will by synced to the other.

I can't delete a partition from my Hard Drive using Boot Camp!!??!!

Hello. Earlier today I installed Windows 8 to my iMac using boot camp and creating a partition. I've decided I don't like it, and want to remove it. I cannot delete the partition!! Help!!

How are you trying to delete it? What happens when you try? There is only one way to remove a Bootcamp partition and return your drive to a single OSx partition, use Bootcamp Assistant and choose the menu option to remove Windows.

Can't install Win7 on 2011 MBP

Hi All,
I have a new 2011 MBP 15 i7 with the Apple SSD and I'm trying to installing Windows 7 (64 bit Ultimate) via Boot Camp. I also tried the 32 bit version, with the same results...
I used Boot Camp Assistant to make a 60GB partition, and got pretty far along in the Windows installation. Windows started, but then immediately rebooted, and then just kept rebooting. I never got as far as installing the drivers. Anyone seen this?
Of course I did a software update first, and read the installation instructions for BootCamp.
In case it's relevant:
Boot ROM Version: MBP81.0047.B04
SMC Version (system): 1.69f1
Thanks in advance!
Rick

Windows 7 came out in 2009.
The MacBook Air has support files
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4407
Windows 7 SP1 DVDs would be nice and more likely to support more hardware natively.
I can see Apple dropping XP, why create, test new drivers for new hardware.
Windows on Mac takes back seat to the consumer-entertainment side of business, and to OS X.
The 2011 MBP are so new that they were not it appears part of the standard 10.6.7 release cycle. Not the first time (10.4.9 fell on release of Mac Pro 2007 8-core) and had to wait for 10.4.10 to get everyone on the same build and test cycle. A perfect storm is new hardware, new OS, and everything incompatible on multiple fronts.
"Save drivers to CD" on 2011 MBP would be essential. The drivers HAVE to be on flash drive or something DURING the boot and install of Windows 7. Only way it would work.
Now, it seems that some people are successful getting Win7 on new MBP so something seems different. No idea what.
The most current FAQ on Boot Camp (from that link above)
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3777
I will hand it to Apple Support pages, they could always of course be and do better and have help articles (vote on? most accessed? newest vs oldest? by category?) I'd even though in some under yours that are particular to installing Windows -

HP 2000 - 2c12NR: Removed Win8, Installed Win7 64-bit; Touchpad Problems

Greetings HP forums!
My name is Bob and I am having an issue with an HP 2000 laptop. A friend requested I remove Windows 8 from a laptop, and install Windows 7 since he was much more familiar with the old GUI.
I installed Win7 64-bit and am having issues with the touchpad consistently working correctly. I have let Windows use its generic drivers, and have installed the Win8 Synaptics touch pad driver/utility. Both drivers produce the same problematic results. The strange issues I am having are as follows:
- Touchpad works fine for 5-30 minutes
- Touchpad becomes inoperable for varying amounts of time; 1-5 minutes
- Touchpad starts working again, but requires higher than normal pressure to work OR only works on the RIGHT side of the touchpad
- Touchpad stops working again, and then after swirling/twirling my finger around the touchpad it will start moving itself without any further input to the Touchpad at all. Everytime it starts moving on its own, it exhibits the same behavior. It moves only vertically, in a perfectly straight line, roughly 2/3 the heighth of the screen, and is very choppy skipping up and down; This lasts for 10-30 seconds.
- After it's done 'ghosting' the cursor up and down, the Touchpad is usable again, but is very finnicky. It requires excessive pressure or response is very laggy/inaccurate to the touch you are inputting.
- Typically after a reboot it works perfectly fine for a short amount of time, and then starts acting as I have described above.
I have tried altering any and all of the settings in the Synaptics driver utility to no avail. I have uninstalled/reinstalled, enabled/disabled the hardware/drivers numerous times. Each time either drivers are removed and installed it will work fine for a short amount of time and then go back to acting crazy.
I thought the ribbon cable may have been loose, so I opened the laptop up far enough to check the ribbon cable for the Touchpad. All was well, everything was snug.
At this point I am thinking there is an issue with the Touchpad itself. While I am waiting for a reply I am going to try reinstalling Win7 since I have exhausted all other ideas I have.
Any and all information is greatly appreciated.
Thank You,
Bob Melchert

*EDIT*
I just started the process to re-install Windows. Once files were finished loading and the initial install screen had loaded, (where you select Language, Time/Currency Format, and Keyboard input method) the Touchpad immediately started moving vertically on itss own. Once it stopped moving on its own, I am only able to move the cursor vertically in the spot where it was moving itself; Any input to the Touchpad only allows vertical movement. This is the first time I have encountered this issue. Since this is happening with Windows loaded into RAM, I am becoming more certain this is a hardware issue.

Hello disgrntld,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand there is no audio coming from the computer. Before anything else, I would suggest a manual uninstall and reinstall of the sound driver:
1. Go into Device Manager, then "Sound, video and game controllers".
2. Look for the Audio driver. Right-click on it and select "Uninstall". Do not restart the computer.
3. Restart the computer. It will force the computer to detect the hardware and install an appropriate driver.
Please let me know your results. Thanks!

Can I install the 64-bit version of Windows 7?

My computer >
17-inch MacBook Pro, Mid 2009
Processor: 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory: 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
I have ordered Windows 7 so I can install the operating system using Boot Camp. Now that I've ordered it, I am wondering if it will even work. I looked at my order and it says 64-bit. WIll this work on my computer, or do I need to order another operating system? Thanks!
Thanks

From the Boot Camp system requirements page located here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634. Look for your computer model and year and you will find the following which indicates Windows 7 64 bit is supported with version 4 of the support software.

After installing a new hard drive can I install snow leopard directly from snow leopard disc

After installing a new hard drive can I install snow leopard directly from snow leopard disc. Or do I have to install previous versions first. iMac 7.1 (2007) 2.8ghz

You can install directly, assuming the disk is newer than your computer and not designed for a different Mac, but doing so won't install iLife.

HT5639 Can I use Boot Camp to install Linux on my MacBook Pro?

Can I use Boot Camp to install Linux on my MacBook Pro?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Boot Camp wasn't designed to install Linux. Apart from that, the Boot Camp version included in OS X Mountain Lion will ask you to insert a Windows 7 or Windows 8 DVD in order to run Boot Camp, as far as I know.
Apple doesn't support Linux on Macs, but it works properly on Macs. There are a lot of how-to's in the Internet about the steps to install Linux and the different possibilities you have. Also, what distribution do you want to install on the computer? You should also consider the option to install Linux on a virtual machine
