I have to have windows so I can use CAD and photoshop for my classes. Any suggestions?
Boot Camp Assistant is in your Utilities folder. You will have to purchase Windows somewhere. Preferred would be 64-bit Windows 7.
Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows
XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7. For Boot Camp
4.0 and above you can only use Windows 7 or later. 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.
2. 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.
3. VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate,
or Windows 7. VM Fusion is software virtualization that
enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows
applications without having to install Windows. The
Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
5. VirtualBox is an 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 VirtualBox, 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. -

Did you download and install the Windows Support software? If you did, did you use the Boot Camp Control icon to set up the trackpad how you want it?

I plan to buy a MacBook Pro with retina display and I already own and use Photoshop CS 5 on my PC?
I plan to buy and use a MacBook Pro with Retina display and I already own and use the PS CS 5 on my PC window-based. How can I obtain a copy of CS 5 for my MacBook Pro?
Message was edited by: CHARNCHAN. That is without having to buy another copy for the Mac!Not sure why you'd want CS5 for your new Mac with Retina display.
Retina support was first added to Photoshop in CS6 version 13.0.3
http://blogs.adobe.com/jkost/2013/01/retina-display-support-and-photoshop-cs6.html
So, assuming you own standalone Photoshop CS5 (and you're running at least Windows 7 on your PC) then your best option - for optimal display on your Mac - might be to subscribe to the Photoshop Photography Program for $9.99/month
https://creative.adobe.com/plans/offer/photoshop+lightroom?sdid=KIHZP
Then you'll get Photoshop CC + Lightroom 5 + extras and you can run them both on your Mac and Windows (2 installs permitted regardless of operating system) for the same $9.99 monthly fee.
If you don't want to subscribe then your other option would be to buy a separate CS6 license for Mac (paying full price). -
I'm just wondering the differences between the new MacBook Pro with retina display which was just released in October 2013 and the old MacBook Pro with retina display.
Thank you for the reply! As you said they looked exactly the same, so I'm not able to tell the differences just by looking, right? I'm thinking to buy a new 13-inch MacBook Pro with retina display, but I'm not buying the MacBook in Apple Store, I'm buying it in other shops, how can know whether they are not selling me the old model of MacBook Pro with retina display?

Hi,yesterday I made a purchase of gmail app for mac book pro but I cannot open it!I have the receipt for the perchased item it is in my list of installed apps but cannot use it.Do anybody has the same problem like me?Please,advice!
You should also ask this in the MacBook Pro forum. This is the forum for the white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

I am part of a 2 person group, who's entering a documentary for the NHD competiton. If you don't know what that is here's a link: http://www.nhd.org. Anyway, that doesn't really matter. What does matter, is that my partner and I, we're using Final Cut Pro X to make the documentary. I downloaded the Final Cut Pro X trial on my MacBook Pro so I could work on our documentary at home. My partner Cecilia, wanted to work on it as well, but using Windows Media Player or something like that. My family uses a lot more Apple than windows. So I come home, work a little on our documentary, go under file ---> share ------> masterfile---> settings-----> Video Codec -----> H.264. A couple seconds/ miniutes (it didn't take very long) later, I see our documentary as a Quick Time file pop up under my documents. I then log into gmail. i click compose, type in my partners e-mail, and then click the little paper clip to attach my new quick time file. Considering that it's 11 minutes long and is filled with media and audio, It's no suprise when I see that it exceeds the limit of ...gigabytes i think. So i send it to her using google drive. However, a couple minutes later, my partner says that she can see the file, but can't seem to download it. I double-check and make sure that I, as the owner, allowed her to edit the file. Then I check to see if i accidently clicked: "Prevent viewer from downloading" which I hadn't. Then i, myself, click on the file and click download and it works fine for me, but apparently doesn't work at all for her windows computer. This means that there's somethig wrong with her computer, or I did something wrong while sharing the file. Any ideas as to why the whole downloading process worked on my Apple Laptop and not her Windows Computer?
These links might provide some information that may be of help.

I've encountered this error myself upon occasion. If I remember correctly, it was a permissions/ownership issue with the some of the files I was copying. -
I can't seem to figure out how to burn my imovie to a dvd. I have an external optical superdrive and blank dvds. Is there a way to do it without downloading lots of other apps/software? I bought a macbook instead of pc because I wanted the video/photo editing, I'll be disappointed if there isn't a convinent way to turn them into a hard copy dvd to share with family and friends.
Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac?

Boots to black in OS X mode (I believe 10.10.2? tough to check right now). I can boot into Windows 8 using Boot Camp without incident. I have booted to Disk Utility and run Disk and Permissions Repair. I have booted into Diagnostics, and no issues were found (ADP000 was the Reference Code given). I reset the PRAM, which gave a louder chime than I had been getting when failing to start up OS X, but otherwise no change. Feeling that my options were exhausted, I attempted to restore from Time Capsule, and it won't connect to Time Capsule, despite Time Capsule being the active router whose network I am connected to. Please advise.
(This is my girlfriend's computer, she tells me that she selected an option to perform an automatic update later, that night.)Install or Reinstall OS X from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
because it is three times faster than wireless.
This should install the version of OS X that you had installed.
Be sure you only work on the OS X volume, not your Windows volume. I cannot tell you if you will still be able to boot the Windows volume after the above. You will need to find a fix for that. -
i need help or a working solution , apple call here
Luckily I reinstalled the software and the problem just disappeared , and now for all those facing the same problem after reinstalling mountain lion don't update to 10.8.1 , cause only after that update earlier was when the problem started showing up , along with that don't reinstall lion using your recovery on your harddrive it takes 23 hours to install because it downloads the software first and then does all the installation so just download the app for mountain lion from the AppStore first and then make a bootable USB installation disk out of it , I'm sure you'll find a tutorial on google on how to make a recovery USB out of it , as for your data and stuff I moved all my stuff to an external hard drive and then performed a reinstall I recommend you do the same . The steps are simple after making the USB insert it and then reboot when the computer turns itself on press the alt/option key and then their will be a list of options there you will see your mt lion USB boot into it , select disk utility and then your Macintosh HD , WARNING IN THIS STEP YOU WILL ERASE YOUR HARD DRIVE COMPLETELY MAKE SURE YOU BACKUP ALL YOU DATA BEFORE PERFORMING THIS STEP I WON'T BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DATA LOSS DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK, so choose your drive , go to the erase tab choose Mac os extended journaled usually the first option from the drop down menu and name it Macintosh HD again click on erase and then after thats done close the utility , now select the option to install mt lions copy from the first menu and then chose your Macintosh HD that we erased eirlier and install, it takes about 20-40 mins depending on your Mac and then viola the problem will disappear , well at least it did for me . Here is the link on HOW TO MAKE A LION RECOVERY USB
