HT5639 Does Boot Camp 5 support flash storage

I'm new to Macs and recently purchased an iMac with flash storage rather than a hard or fusion drive. Boot Camp Assistant will not partition the drive - I press the 'Install' button to partition the drive and nothing happens. Does this mean that Boot Camp does not support flash storage?

Bootcamp creates a partition on which you install Windows. You then install Windows programs like your games on the partiton running Windows. It is as yhough you had a Windows computer.

Setup.exe from Boot Camp won't work with Windows Xp Home SP2

Hi,
I just bought the great MacBook Pro. So I work over years in Windows it's absolutliy necessary to migrate my old System to MacBook. I succeeded in cloning my old installation completly to the MacBook and Windows is activated. when I start windows, of course no MacBook drivers are installed, so I have only a minimum of functionality. Now I want to start the BootCamp to install the drivers. But if I start "Setup.exe" it's ending immediately with: There were errors... before Boot camp could be initialized.
I downloaded the newest BootCamp (3.1) and start it, the program crashes!
I can't get it working!!! What have I to do - please help me!
I use Windows XP Home SP2.
Thanks!

If you didn't try installing Boot Camp from your OS X disc, try that first.
From what you wrote it sounds like you somehow cloned your old install of windows over to a fresh partition. Depending on how you did this, the problem might lie here.
First, what version of OSX are you running?
If your MacBook Pro is new, it should come with Snow Leopard, which wouldn't explain the problem.
How exactly did you clone windows over?
Depending on how you cloned windows, your easiest solution might be to back up any files and applications you need from windows, remove the current Windows partition, and create a new partition and installation of Windows through Boot Camp on OSX. Normally Boot Camp should install its drivers after a successful installation of Windows.

Can I install boot camp on a machine with a Software Raid-0?

I have a machine with a software Raid-0 running Snow Leopard. I'd like to install Boot Camp but I only have 2 SATA hard drives. Windows does not need to run in a RAID on this machine and I'm fine partitioning both drives so that I have a 30GB Windows 7 partition. Both drives are 500GB each.
Can I partition each drive with -30GB run a software raid and still use bootcamp?
Please let me know.

No, and 30GB is too small for Windows 7 64-bit Pro for your Mac.
Get a 3rd drive. Assuming this is a Mac Pro you have 4 internal drive bays.

Boot Camp Services allegedly interfering with Windows 7 upgrade installer

The MS Windows 'upgrade advisor' analyzes my Vista install & says I'm good to go with an upgrade, onto my Boot Camp partition, from Vista 32 bit to W-7 32-bit - - - -
BUT..... when, after booting up in Vista, I try to run the W-7 installer program the following happens:
1) starts off immediately copying needed files and trying to create temp folders and then aborts with a a Microsoft error message Code 0x80070005 - "unable to create a required installation folder."
It is said, on credible Microsoft help forums like this one, that this is a known issue with Boot Camp not supporting W7, but the workaround some people have apparently tried quite successfully is to run the Vista uninstaller and REMOVE -"Boot Camp Services" from the boot camp volume; THEN,//////install the W-7 upgrade normally; then go back to the Leopard install DVD and reinstall BootCamp Services. Can this be done ? Should it work just that simply ?
I am leery and cautious about trying this without assurances from more experienced Mac guys that it should not cause me any serious issues I'd regret creating.
IS Apple aware of this issue and do they have a suggested fix ? Are they working on a solution ?

You must be using the Win7 upgrade software. I ran into the same problem. Here's what you can try. First, run the upgrade software application and let it extract all the files to your Windows drive. The installer will then fail, but you will have a folder on your drive that contains the upgrader's content. Burn the contents of that folder (not the folder itself) to a DVD. Then restart Windows and delete the upgrader folder. Now insert the DVD you made and navigate to it. Double-click on the Startup application. The updater should now work. I had the option to upgrade my existing system or archive the existing system and do a clean install Win7. I had nothing to save so i opted for the clean install. I've tried this twice so far, and it has worked for me.

Does OS X.5 Still Come With OS 9?

Does OS X.5 Still Come With OS 9 to allow you to run older applications that won't run on OS X? Thanks!

Thanks Allan. In particular I'm interested in AOL 10.3.7 for Mac OS X. It seems like the newer Mac Desktop as well as the email systems at the two colleges where I teach (each uses a different version of Microsoft Outlook) to not allow me to download my emails in the pre-existing folders in my hard drive. I've had all my saved emails organized on my hard drive using one version of AOL or another for a good 10-15 years now, and I don't want to lose that capacity. I have looked in vain for a way to do the same thing with either the newer AOL Desktop or Outlook, so if I'm missing something I'd appreciate it if someone would point it out. Otherwise though I'd like to keep using AOL 10.3.7. Currently I forward all my emails from either Outlook account to my AOL account and then use AOL to save each email. This allows me to do things like look back at my correspondence with students to see what they and I said previously, etc.
Thanks.

Doe's the mac come with windows 7?

Does the MAC come with windows 7?

No. You can run Windows on a Mac in several different ways, but all require that you purchase Windows separately. Apple only supplies the Windows drivers needed to integrate with the Apple hardware.
Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7. Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows. The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris. It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

Your Client Does not Support Opening this list with Windows Explorer on Windows Server 2012 R2

I am trying to open a document library in Internet Explorer 11 on a Windows 2012 R2 server and I am receiving Your Client Does not Support Opening this list with Windows Explorer

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to open a document library with the Internet Explorer 11 on a Windows 2012 R2 server. But you received the following error message: Your client
does not support opening this list with Windows Explorer.
There can be multiple reasons for it.
So, I recommend you can check with the following steps:
Go to the “Server Manager” of “Administrative Tools” > Enable the “Desktop Experience” feature in your environment.
Go to the “Services” of “Administrative Tools” >
Ensure the “WebClient” service is started.
Ensure that your computer has supported Web browser.
Ensure that Internet Explorer is configured correctly to add
https://*.sharepoint.com to Local intranet site in the “Security Tab” of “Internet Options”.
Ensure that
you have applied the latest updates on the system.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you got “Your client does not support opening this list with Windows Explorer” error.
Did you enable the both authentication (Windows and FBA) on default zone.
As far as I remember when FBA is enabled on the same zone when Windows is used, it breaks whole client integration.
So it will be better if you will recheck your architecture and will use different zones for Windows and FBA.
There is also another thing to try: use claims based authentication with authentication provider which will work both with Windows and FBA.
What’s more, you can also check with below steps.
Use compatibility mode to check whether it works.
Open IE->Tools->Compatibility View Settings
Add the site into Trusted sites to check whether it works..
Open the IE->Internet Options->Security->Sites->add the site into the Websites, then check whether it works.
In addition, you can also try to enable Basic authentication on the client computer, by setting the BasicAuthLevel registry entry of the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WebClient\Parameters

Boot Camp one more partation in windows 7 Professional 64 bit

I installed Marwicks and through Boot Camp Windows 7 Professional 64 bit and After installing windows 7 professional 64 bit I want to create another partation in windows but when i am creating another partation through windows disk management I am able to create another partation but after creating another partation it changes all disks to dynamic disks.
When I am coverting back disks from dynamic to basic disk through third party software it changes disks back to basic from dynamic disk except new partation.
And it leaves new partation as a unallocated space.
Can someone help me how to create one more Partation in windows 7 Professional 64 bit.
Many Thanks in Advance

Once you install Windows on a Mac you can NOT FOOL with any of the partitions in Windows or in OS X.
Hopefully OS X still boots. At startup hold down the Option/Alt key to get the Mac Boot manager/selection screen. Select yopur Mac OS X drive and boot to it. Run Boot Camp assistant and Remove the Windows partition/s if you can.
If not use Time Machine to backup the OS X partition and then you'll need to use the Online internet Recovery system to repartition your drive as One Partition to remove the FUBAR you have created. Then once that ios done restore your Mac from the Time Machine backup you created.
You can then use Boot Camp Assistant to recreate the Windows partition and reinstall Windows. Then do NOT try to make any other partitions in Windows or OS X.

Does Boot Camp come with Microsoft Word, PowerPoint etc?

I would like to install Boot Camp on my MacBook Pro with Retina Display (it comes with Boot Camp Assistant). I was wandering if Boot Camp has Mircrosoft Office and all the other ones? That is the only reason I really need to download. Help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Nope MS Office is not included with Boot Camp. A copy of Windows isn't included either. So you'll need to buy either or both depending on your needs.
Boot Camp just helps you install Windows on your Mac. That's it. The copy of Windows, you need to buy or own already.

Does Boot Camp work with Fusion Drive

After having Boot Camp fail this morning while partitioning the drive, and now having to erase and restore my entire hard drive, 500GB worth of crap, I am wondering -- does Boot Camp work with the fusion drive? My new iMac has one of these things, and I am wondering if that is maybe the reason it did not work.
Thanks

A virtual machine is less risky because it doesn't modify your hard disk. However, it gives you less performance because it doesn't use all the hardware of your computer.
While that is true the actual performance available depends on how much resources you have, and how much is made available to Windows. (Win 7 in BC on my iMac gets a 5.9, in a VM it gets a 4.8) all the reduction is in the graphics performance. Disk performance in the VM is faster. I have 16GB or Ram, the VM gets 8 of that when it is running.
If games are to played a VM is useless.

Moving boot camp to new machine with Parallels 10 or WinClone?

i seem to have a ton of document here but have not been able to figure a way out of my dilemma.
i have a 2006 mac pro that had two boot camp installs with one of windows 7 and one of XP. each of these are still intact on my hard drives in this computer. however, i can not see this computer on my display as there appears to be some issue with the converter that i am using for my cinema display mini display port (to get it to DVI display port on the 2006) so i cannot really DO anything with these installations other than see them when i put the disk in my new 2012.
Parallels 10 appears to have a new "boot camp" mode and i am trying to figure out if there is a way to get the boot camp installs into my 2012 as "virtual boot camp" installations. i just put one of the 2006 disks into the 2012 machine and tried this and Parallels seems to have accepted this but i am not sure if i somehow need to leave the physical boot camp install in this bay 4 or if i can just pull the disk and now i have a "virtual boot camp" install of windows 7.
ALSO, i DO have WinClone backups of both of these boot camp installations on the new machine but i believe i am supposed to run CHKDSK and Sysprep on the actual boot camp installs before trying to migrate them over to the new machine and since i cannot see anything in the old machine i can't try this. actually, i did try it back when i could see the 2006 but there was some error with the Sysprep and the thread proposing solutions was like 26 pages long.
anyway, anyone done this and have any suggestions?
THANKS

A. when you say you can boot from corresponding installation media - you are talking about my Windows 7 and Windows XP install disks?
When you installed XP or W7, you would have used either an Install DVD or a USB, or both. This is what you would need. You can recreate the USB using Bootcamp Assistant, if necessary. The only caveat would be if you subsequently upgraded to later Service Packs, and the installer was built earlier than that.
B. when you say "if your windows is already bootable" you are saying that i could put the disk in the new machine, set preferences to BOOT from the Boot Camp installation on the other disk and run the Safe Mode on this boot camp install and then manually remove drivers? also presumably i can compare the 2006 machine to the 2012 machine and see which drivers i don't have to remove? also, i am guessing here that i can try either of these (boot from media or boot into safe mode in the boot camp) despite the fact that yosemite does not support XP boot camp?
It is possible that Windows may not boot at all, due to hardware changes and driver differences. Safe Mode is a minimal driver load boot. It should be bootable. If you end with a completely un-bootable system after you move disks, then Windows Startup Repair may be necessary first. You may also need to run chkdsk. I would also recommend uninstalling any third-party NTFS software. Once Windows is fully installed, there is no interaction with Yosemite, and a minimal interaction with firmware and Apple Bootmanager which recognizes a NTFS system.
C. can you help me with the terminology here? you ask if any of my "W7/WXP" disks have a version of OS X co-resident". at one point i had what i understood to be JUST an XP install on my 2006 machine on a hard drive which i still have. i don't know if this was installed "under" some OS but as far as i know i /just/ had a boot camp installation of XP on this disk. is this possible? if so, what do i call it? ALSO, i /now/ have basically two disks with one containing a PARTITION of Snow Leopord or Mountain Lion and a PARTITION of Windows XP Boot Camp. then the /second/ disk contains a CLONE of the OS X install and a PARTITION of Windows 7 Boot Camp. Do you know what i call these?! are either of them what you consider "co-resident"? i guess i don't exactly understand the types of boot camps i can have (ignoring virtual machines).
If the disk was formatted as an MBR disk and was fully dedicated to Windows, it will not have OS X. In some cases, a single physical disk can be partitioned to host both OSes. If the OS X part was on a separate physical disk, this is what is usually is done on a MacPro with multiple disks.
D. can i /PLEASE/ ask you to help me understand the types of virtual machines i can create on the 2012 with Parallels 10? right now i just hooked up a Windows 7 virtual machine from Parallels 7. so this is a "true virtual machine". but i can somehow also now create a "boot camp virtual machine" where i can EITHER boot into the boot camp or into the virtual machine? i mean, i guess what we are discussing is a way to CLEAN the Windows 7 BOOT CAMP INSTALLATION on my 2006 by putting the hard drive into the 2012 and to then - well i guess i then create a WinClone of the Boot Camp install and i run the WinClone MIGRATION procedure to get this boot camp on the 2012? /then/ i run parallels and hook up this Boot Camp install in the new machine?
Usually, BC installations can be imported as virtual machines. You can also install a VM using a virtual disk, which, to OS X, appears like a set of system files. You can as a test import the 2006 disk clone as a VM and test. The VM engines impose their own BIOS engine and can have their own drivers in such a VM. For example, they will emulate SCSI to access the underlying virtual or physical disk. They may also provide their own file system drivers. For example, VMware Fusion can provide HGFS to share files between OS X and Windows. Your approach should work, but I have never tested Winclone with the VM layer in the middle. You should ask Wincloen support if they support VM as an in-between layer or not. I do not think so.
E. can you remind me why i can't get a XP Boot Camp on the 2012 machine? was this due to the 2012 mac pro or was it yosemite or both i guess? i mean, for XP i am presumably going to run the TRANSFER procedure on the XP install /after/ putting the hard drive with XP boot camp from the 2006 into my 2012 and then i am going to run this VIRTUAL MACHINE FROM BOOT CAMP operation (link below)? if so, we are saying i can run this from the 2012 and then can i remove the XP Boot Camp drive from the 2012 and still have the virtual machine i guess? in this case i SHOULD ALSO run the XP through the procedure you explain? so in this case i will only have a virtualized XP Boot Camp install and with Windows 7 i will have both the BOOT CAMP install (which i presumably migrated to my OS X hard drive!) and i will be able to virtually boot to this boot camp install using Parallels 10?
Apple deprecated XP support as they moved to BC version 5.x. A new XP installation is not possible, but an existing XP installation will continue to work across OS X version upgrades. This is a 'physical' machine from 2006 MP. Once you install BC drivers on the XP installation to work with 2012, you will need to reverse the migration procedure (uninstall drivers for 2012MP, install 2006 MP drivers). It is a very unusual direction to want to go back to 2006 MP, but it is still a method if the 2012 MP hardware failed, and you wanted to go back to a working 2006 MP. You should check if Parallels 10 supports XP.
F. i guess if i want to make sure to retain a true boot camp install of the Windows XP install i have to repair the 2006 machine is that right?
http://kb.parallels.com/en/113658
Not necessarily. If you can migrate (simulating a SysPrep) to the 2012 MP machine, you do not need to resurrect the 2006 MP.

Does Boot Camp Assistant Partition It in GUID or MBR?

Hi. Does Boot Camp Assistant partition using GUID or MBR? Does it initially format it with FAT32, leave it blank or format it with NTFS for the Windows installer to be able to detect it? How's the Windows installer able to see the Boot Camp partition made by the Assistant? Thank you in advance. Gbu.

Microsoft recommends GPT for 2TB and larger volumes.
MBR can't boot from a volume larger than 1.9TB.
Windows 7 can see GPT just find, but not HFS+, and AppleHFS and MNT are buggy.
Disk Utility can create a drive that uses MBR.
GPT has support for sub-tables and for Master Boot Record.
Apple's implementation of MBR might be on the weak side.
Windows 7 wants to actually have and boot from the 100MB system partition.
Apple, Intel, Microsoft, Sun etc are members of EFI Group and Unified EFI is supported on Windows Vista SP1 64-bit and later 64-bit versions, but Apple's is more proprietary and differs, but is the sole reason really for Apple's excluding and including which Macs are "supported" (which really isn't true) running Windows 64-bit (Vista/7) - that they have to have EFI64 or UEFI 2.x.
The external drive is likely something else, as you could format a drive to GPT and NTFS and have it work fine.
The best way to 'clean' a drive of all partition tables and volumes is with Windows and something like WD Lifeguard or similar tool.
As for hybrid, while some Macs can now boot by default to 64-bit kernel mode, I prefer the "from the ground up" of Windows 7 64-bit which still supports and runs 32-bit apps, but of course mandates 64-bit drivers in places.
Your Apple disks not only have GPT, but have to have other partitions like EFI (128MB) after any HFS partition. GPT does have an MBR - see the Apple tech note #2166.
Windows and GPT FAQ
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/device/storage/GPT_FAQ.mspx
*Secrets of GPT* http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#technotes/tn2006/tn2166.html
Table 1: GPT Summary
Block Description
0 Protective MBR
1 Partition Table Header (primary)
2 through 2+b-1 Partition Entry Array (primary)
2+b through n-2-b partition data
n-2-b+1 through n-2 Partition Entry Array (backup)
n-1 Partition Table Header (backup)
The protective MBR is an MBR that defines a single partition entry that covers the entire area of the disk used by GPT structures and partitions. It is designed to prevent GPT-unaware programs from accidentally modifying a GPT disk. A GPT-unaware program sees the GPT disk as an MBR disk with a single, unknown partition. In a way, this is like the HFS wrapper around an HFS Plus disk.
