  • If I use a USB stick for time machine, will I be able to install Windows (using bootcamp) from the same USB?

    I have a 64GB USB Stick, and I am interested in usign it with time machine. My question is, firstly, is this possible? And secondly, if I do do this, would it be possible to install windows using bootcamp from the same USB. My mother refuses to let me install windows without a backup of Mac OS X, so I really need to know if this is possible???

    You need to use a drive that is larger than your Mac's internal drive for Time Machine, so a USB stick will not work.  You need to buy an external hard drive.  It's worth it. Time machine is a fantastic backup system, keeping not just a single backup, but multiple versions of your files as well (hence the need for a larger drive).

  • How do I install windows using BootCamp without cd drive fot the new MBP?

    I need some softwares for my work (modelsim, altera, ltspices etc) but some of them only supports windows.
    New MBP doesnt seem to have a cd driver.
    How do I install windows using bootcamp without cd drivers?

    You can use a USB thumbdrive to do this, assuming you have access to a windows machine to format the usb stick.
    I installed Win7 on my MB Air (2011), which of course lacks a DVD drive altogether, using this technique.
    Basically, you download a tool called rEFIt to your macbook. ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/refit/files/rEFIt/0.14/rEFIt-0.14.dmg/download ) When this is installed, it gives you a boot selector menu when you boot the Macbook ('Do you want to boot to MacOS or to the USB drive?')
    Then you download and run an Apple tool called Boot Camp Assistant, which allows you to partition your HD for the two operating systems to share; it also pulls down all the windows drivers you need.
    Then prep the USB thumbdrive on a windows machine to be a Win7 installer disk. You'll want a drive in the 4gb+ range I think. You have to set up the thumbdrive to be bootable (lots of tools for that available), and then copy all the windows installation files over to it.
    Put the thumbdrive in the macbook and boot holding down the option key.
    Choose the rEFIt icon on boot, then choose to boot from the thumbdrive, then format your new windows partition to something Win7 can handle, and install windows.
    On my machine I followed a slightly more involved process and wiped out MacOS entirely. I would have kept it on a small partition if I'd had a bigger hard drive.

    If your on 10.6.8 like you should be for security/stability updates, somewhere along the line a later Bootcamp version was issued and only supports Win 7.

  • Can't manage to install Windows using Bootcamp

    For some reason I can't manage to install Windows 7 using bootcamp. It paritions the disk, pop in the Windows installation DVD and restart.
    The Macbook Pro takes a while to startup (it stays on the grey screen for a while). After a while of waiting, it goes to a black screen with a white blinking thingy on the top left of the screen. Here is where it gets stuck... I've tried to leave it like that for 30 minutes or so, but it just keeps blinking.
    I tried holding the option key at startup and boot into the disc, but it does the same thing. I'm using a original Windows 7 DVD. I tried a XP CD also, no go.
    I'm using an early 2008 Macbook Pro (2.4Ghz) with Snow Leopard.
    Anyone can help?

    Having this exact issue after getting my (Early 2008 24", 3.06GHz, 8800GS) iMac back from having it's stock drive replaced by Apple.
    Prior to the drive replacement, it had a stock 500GB drive, and dual-booted 10.6/XP Pro flawlessly. Then the drive died. After running it off an external for a month, I brought it in for service.
    Apple replaced it with a 640GB, as apparently they don't stock the 500GB disks anymore.
    10.6 works fine.
    Applied updates, restored my home directory and apps from the external, no problems.
    Ran BootCamp Assistant, made a 120GB partition. Inserted the same XP CD I've used before. Reboot...black screen, flashing cursor. Waited 30 min for it to pick up, nada. Rebooted, held down Option, picked the disc - same deal.
    Rebooted into 10.6, checked the disc was readable. No problem. Tried starting an install in VMware from the disc. No problem. Tried the disc in my MBP. No problem, boots like a charm. Highly skeptical the CD is the issue.
    Re-ran BootCamp Assistant, merged the partition back into the 10.6 one. Rebooted from my 10.6 install disc, ran Disk Utility's Repair over the internal disc - no errors found. Repaired permissions to be safe (found a couple minor things in my home directory). Rebooted into 10.6 and ran BootCamp Assistant again, this time with a 32GB partition. Same problem.
    Rebooted from the 10.6 install media, wiped out the partitions, laid a new, fresh OSX install on the internal. Booted, ran updates, then BootCamp Assistant (did not copy any of my data back this time, nor did I install anything other than the OS and updates). Same problem.
    Shut down completely, unplugged for 5 min or so (reset SMC). Booted, clearing PRAM. Booted into 10.6, re-merged the partitions. Rebooted, clearing PRAM again. Booted into 10.6, ran BootCamp Assistant to create the partition. Rebooted, clearing PRAM yet again. Removed all peripherals save the keyboard/mouse. Tried to boot from the Windows CD - same problem.
    Dug out my WIn7RC1 DVD for kicks. Same problem through similar iterations. This disc also boots fine on the MBP, and can start a VMware installation without issue.
    As we speak, I'm booted from the 10.6 installation media once more, this time zeroing out the internal disc entirely. If this doesn't work, I'm not sure where to go next.

  • Installing windows using bootcamp. HELP!! :(

    Ok so ive decided i need to install windows onto my mac, to use software important for my university studies, and have opted to use the boot camp method.
    I started by purchasing and downloading windows 8 directly onto my mac book pro, and as such, have a file called 'windowssetupbox.exe' in my downloads.
    i have attempted to follow the instructions to use bootcamp, however it doesnt seem to work. When i first attempted it, all that happened what that i downloaded the suport software onto a usb, so i now have a usb with the support software on it (i think) however this has since been erased, and when i try anything else (involving iso images for example), i cant get it to work. Firstly i dont know what an iso image is, (i presumed it to be the .exe file i downloaded), but i dont seem to get anywhere. Could anyone guide me in the right direction as to how to go about this. I feel like i need to start from scratch but im not really sure what im doing.
    thanks.

    You have to run the setup file on a Windows machine. If you want 64 bit Windows then you must run the setup on a 64 bit Windows machine.
    Once the download is finished (about 3GB if I remember correctly) you will get the option to create install media.
    Select that then check the box for creating an iso file.
    Move that iso file to your Mac then start Bootcamp Assistant and point it to that iso file. You'll also need to download the support software again if you've deleted it.
    You'll need a 8GB USB stick to put everything on.

  • Macbook pro mid 2012- Wanting to know how to install windows using bootcamp

    Hello everyone,
         I'am sure this question has been asked many times but this is urgent and can't really find all the necessary steps I need in my situation. I am using a MacBook pro mid 2012 I believe. I'am taking colleges courses, and need to use visual basic. Unfortuanatly visual basic is not compatible with macs. I've done a few researchs and found out installing windows 7 with bootcamp is maybe the best solution? Probleme is I have no start up disk that came with the mac, and the cd drive is broken. I do have an external hard drive I bought a few months ago.     
         What exactly do I need in order to set this up? Is it still possible without a start up disk, and by using a external hard drive? How should I get windows 7? Online or buy the disk?
         If someone could either direct me to a threaded explaining a similar case? Or point out what I need, and a few important steps to follow?
    I appreciate it!
    Thanks
    LJ.C

    if your MBP has a DVD drive (even if broken), it requires that to install windows via boot camp so you have 2 options
    get your dvd drive repaired, or
    see if the usb boot camp hack will work for you - http://forums.atomicmpc.com.au/index.php?showtopic=51873

  • I tried installing windows using bootcamp and it didnt work properly, now neither is load.

    So i tried installing windows, it got to the point where you are on the windows setup after a reboot. I didnt have enough space on my mac so i pressed cancel and it shut down my mac. Now when i start it up it says "No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key" so i put in the memory stick i used and press all the keys and nothing happens, i even try restarting it with it in and taking it out and restarting it but the same message keeps coming up. I have no idea what to do, any advice?

    Two possibilities: As CellerDweller suggests, your computer is still set to boot from the Windows partition which it cannot. restart holding Option (also labeled Alt). The second is that you erased the Mac partition. If attempting to reboot with the Option key and selecting the Mac drive fails, restart holding Command R to enter Recovery mode. You can then run Disk Utilities to repartition the Mac the the GUID partition scheme and then format the drive as MacOS Extended (journaled). If you have a backup you can then restore using the backup drive. If not you can redownload the Mac OS.

  • Please help me I had installed windows using bootcamp assistant and forget to get back to Mac OS while starting by using that specific keys

    Help me

    It's normal for the Mac to set the Windows partition as the default startup disk when installing Windows since it will restart a couple of times during the install.
    One way to get back to OS X is to restart and hold down the Option key. You'll get a display of the various drives you can boot to. Double click on the OS X drive.
    An Option key boot is a temporary choice, and your Mac will continue to boot to Windows by default. To change that, once you're back in OS X, open the System Preferences and click on the Startup Disk icon. Click on the OS X drive to make it the default choice.

  • Boot camp does not give me the option to make a partition, instead it just gives me the options to download windows support software, install windows 7, etc. I do not want any of these, I want to set aside the space on my hard drive!

    Hello, I wish to install Linux Ubuntu on my macbook pro by using boot camp to set aside space. Whenever I load the Boot Camp Assistant application out of the utilities folder in applications, it only gives me the options to download windows support software and install windows 7. I do not want this, I just want to be able to slide that little bar to set aside the space on my hard drive that i can use for Linux. I tried just downloading the windows support software but my internet is immensely slow and it has been an hour or so since it started and it's not even half way done. When this download is finished will i get the option to partition or will i just be faced with those same options?
    I am on a 13" macbook pro, with apple OS X snow leopard version 10.7.2
    A lot of the data on this macbook was transferred over from my old macbook i had.
    Any ideas on how to fix this problem?
    Thank you for reading.

    Well thank you for your honesty.  Apple requires you have to have a Mac to develop iPhone apps, ergo my foray into OS-Xland. No way around it that one except for running OSX in a VM, which would have probably saved me some quid, true enough.
    BUT for those interested parties: VirtualBox has a startup script in /Library/StartupItems/VirtualBox that will prevent OSX from fully booting on the initial (and required) rEFIt boot cycle. Once I temporarily moved that out of the StartupItems rEFIt went in as expected.
    FYI, the openSUSE desktop running native is a little peppier than OSX native which was a nice surprise.  Now if the Mac just had more open source software we would have a deal. (:

  • Cannot install Windows 7 32 bit-64 bit not working either

    I have tried to install Windows 7 Professional several times, but to no avail.
    Here are my problems:
    1. After using Boot Camp to partition my hard drive (32 bit) the Mac restarts, but it spits out the disc and then restarts in Snow Leopard.
    2. Using 64 bit, it does boot from the disc, but, then the installer says that I have to load the drivers for my optical drive. Seeing as I don't have the drivers, I cant go any further.
    So, this is where I am, and would appreciate any help given, thanks.

    I don’t agree that VMWare or Parallels is the best way to run Windows on a Mac. If you run both OS’s this way you do not get the true speed of either OS. If you are not doing anything processor intensive then you are okay to do so, but imagine if you are running say 3D app or Music app. In those kind of apps they need all the CPU / Memory power they can get hold of.
    You need native speed for them to run properly.
    Like rednectar said 64 bit is the way to go as all the apps are heading in that direction anyway you might as well be ready.

  • TS4463 I have just installed office 365 and now icloud will not work.  It says that I need to open or install outlook.  Before I installed 365, ICloud worked  and I believe I had Outlook loaded yet it is not there any longer.   I am lost.

    I just installed office 365 Home Premium editiion and have lost my ICloud capabilities.  I cannot sign in nor will Photostream work.   A message comes up that says I need Outlook on my computer (I had it before  the 365 was loaded).   I checked on-line and it says that windows 7 does not support outlook and that I cannot download it (don't know how I got it before).   I am totally confused as what to do.   Really upset as I needed the new office package as Windows 7 wouldn't support the 2010 started edition any longer without my buysing that.  Figured it made sense to get the newest version.  Packaging says that it contains outlook.   I don't know what to do at this point.

    Did you remove the existing installation of Office before installing the new one?
    I checked on-line and it says that windows 7 does not support outlook and that I cannot download it (don't know how I got it before).
    Outlook is part of Office 365, and Windows 7 supports all versions of Outlook back to 2003.
    I am totally confused as what to do. 
    You need to correctly remove all versions of Office on your Mac, you need to remove their settings as well. You need to save your Office Userdata from removal by moving it temporarily. I would also uninstall iCloud.
    Then reinstall Office 365 followed by iCloud.
