HT5639 I want to install WIN 7 on my MBA using Bootcamp. What is the easiest solution

Being an avid Quicken user I find that MAC ESSENTIALS the Quicken app is a lame duck no comparison to the windows version.
SO, I want to install a copy of WIN7 using Bootcamp. I'd appreciate some tips on a easy installation since there is no optical drive to work with

Did you take a look at Quicken 2007 for Lion (and Mt. Lion) for only $15?:

Still not the full complement of features found on the Windows version, but much better than Quicken Essentials.
Have never attempted to install Windows into Bootcamp on my discless Mac Mini, since I use Windows XP with Parallels.
See if this FAQ helps out at all:

  • I want to install Win7 on my new iMac using bootcamp. I got a USB drive for the win7 install-disc, but I don't own a cd for the Mac OS (since it was preinstalled when I got it). I read somewhere that I need a mac OS disc as well?

    I need some recomendations plz.

    Hello,
    you don't need OS X install-disk, but I strongly recomend to burn a Win 7 disk. You may have some problems with installing it from a USB Flash :)

  • I am using Iphoto 11 ver 9.4.3 on mac using oxs 10.8.5 i want to export calendar projects to an external hard drive. what is the easiest way to do this? i have tried export and import but it didn't seem to work.

    I am using Iphoto 11 ver 9.4.3 on mac using oxs 10.8.5 i want to export calendar projects to an external hard drive. my goal is to store them in an external hard drive so it doesn't use up memory on the mac hard drive. is it possible to copy the specific projects without copying the entire library? what is the easiest way to do this? i have tried export and import but it didn't seem to work.

    What do you not understand?
    You can duplicate the iPhoto library (command - D ) and delete everything except the project and its photos from the copy and move that
    Or
    However the calendar takes very little space - it is simpy database entries - it is the photos in the calendar that take space - and for most people you would wnat to keep those photos in your library
    you can use a photo in 50 calendars and it still is only one photo in your library - as I explained calenders do not exist as such - they are simply database entries telling iPhotop how to display the calendar - they take almost no space at all

  • HT4623 Hi, i cant upgrade my ipad 2 to ios7 over the air its downloaded but when i want to install it it shows error, do someone knows what is the problem?

    Hi , when i want to install downloaded ios7 on my ipad 2 it occurs an error, does some one know what should i do?

    Do you get a specific error mesaage? If so, what is the message?
    Have you tried updating with iTunes on a computer? If you do that, disable your firewall and antivirus software while you are trying to update.
    if you don't have a computer, try resetting your router and the iPad and then try the update again.
    Unplug the router from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it back in. Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • I want to install win 8 but...

    Hello
    I want to install win 8 but not with Boot camp. So I downloaded my drivers and win 8 and I burned its DVD but when I want to install, at the select disc, I get an error about  windows can not be installed on this drive because partition map is GPT. I formatted two partitions as FAT32 and by PARAGON NTFS as NTFS. But I cannot.
    Can someone help me?

    Or better yet install and run your Windows8 on a VM like ParallelsDesktop.

  • I downloaded and installed Lion on an external hard drive using my laptop which is running Snow Leopard I have now decided that I want to install Lion on my Laptop, but when I go to the App store and click on my purchases it will not download

    I downloaded and installed Lion on an external hard drive using my laptop which is running Snow Leopard I have now decided that I want to install Lion on my Laptop, but when I go to the App store and click on my purchases it will not download again

    Thanks Dirk,
                         Tried your suggestion various ways but it had no effect the download button was still greyed out and the install button would not activate will keep trying to find a solution. I dont want to boot from the external hard drive that has Lion on mainly because it is a usb HD and the connection to my wireless modem slows the connection rate and downloading would take about ten hours

  • I have a new MacBook Air with Yosemite (no CD/DVD capacity). I want to install Photoshop Elements 6. Can I do this with the serial number? If pse 6 is not compatible, can I upgrade to pse 7. I do not need pse 12 or 13.

    I cannot answer regarding compatibility, but there is no download available for PSE6 if you would need one for this.  You might be able to copy the installation files from a disk to some other removable media that the machine accepts.  Upgrading to PSE7 would not be possible mainly because Adobe does not sell older versions of their software.

    There should not be any reason you cannot download it, unless you are referring to not having a link in your account for it.

    Here is a copy of the error
    This means : Installation failed.

  • What is the easiest and best way to install or open flash drive in Sarfari on my Macbook Pro...2010 model using mountain lion

    what is the easiest and best way to install or open flash drive in Sarfari on my 2010 macbook pro using mountain lion?

    There is no really good way to do what you want. Any tracks you purchase via your own iTunes Store account are for your personal use, tied to your iTunes Store account, and can't be given to anyone else. If you don't want to gift the tracks to her and can't access her iTunes Store account, the only option other than creating her a completely new iTunes Store account (which will require a new email address for her) is to buy the CDs those tracks are on.
