I've downloaded Windows 7 onto my USB drive and Boot Camp does not recognize the disk.

Following the Apple Support manual, I've initiated the creation of a partition and downloaded Windows 7 from Microsoft's online store to a USB disk.  When I attempt to initiate the creation of my partition to install Windows 7, I receive a notification that my installer disc could not be found.
Thanks in advance!

  • Boot camp does not format the partition for Windows 7

    I recently purchased a copy of windows 7.  This is the full version.  I downloaded the drivers to a usb drive then placed the windows 7 disk in my apple optical drive to partition to disk.  After portioning the iMac restarts and gives the a blank screen with _ blinking.  It seems as though the windows partition has not been formatted.  I cannot enter a dos command such as format or anything else.  If I start up the mac again with the windows 7 disk in the optical drive I will be prompted to insert a bootable disk.  I understand that after the partitioning takes place that bootcamp should start the installation process.  By the way after working on this for quite a long time I decided it might be the copy of windows so I returned it and got another.  Same resuts.  I hope someone can help.
    Thanks

    Read the instructions and it is pretty clear that you format to NTFS where you see the BOOTCAMP partition.

  • After installing Lion on my Mac mini I no longer get a sound whe I plug in a usb device, and sometimes iTunes does not recognize my iPad.  Is this normal (lack of usb recognition sound)?

    After installing Lion on my mini, I no longer get a "recognition sound" when I plug in a usb device.  Is this normal?

    I am not sure any Mac every had a sound for plugging/unplugging USB devices.
    You may be right. It's only on Windows that the sound is created and heard.
    I know that since Tiger on this MBP, when I plug in my external scanner, I never heard anything.
    And plugging in my Blu-Ray recorder also does not make any sounds.
    I cannot speak for anything but my Mac laptops, however. Desktop Macs might make a sound.

  • I have downloaded a copy of Quicken but my Yosemite 10.10 does not recognize the developer.  I bought the program from Staples.  Can anyone help?  Thanks.

    That's just Gatekeeper telling you the program isn't codesigned.
    You can override it by ctrl-clicking on the installer and selecting Open from the contextual menu. It will warn you just like it did before, but it will allow you to click the Open button to go ahead and install it.

    Hi all,
    I have had an 8100 for some time.  Recently the desktop will communicate to the 8100 via bluetooth but Windows does not recognize the 8100 when I plug it in via USB.  I have tried downloading and reinstall the desktop with no luck.

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    Here is the list of troubleshooting KB's...hopefully something will be useful:

    KB11439 BlackBerry Desktop Software does not detect the BlackBerry smartphone when it is connected

    Also, check that you are using only root USB ports...no hubs (sometimes the front-side ports are hubs...use a rear USB port). And make sure to try disabling USB power management in your system configuration (Device Manager).
    Apologies in advance if this is redundant -- there's no way to be sure if you've already seen and tried these.
    Hopefully something there is helpful!
    Cheers!

  • Windows 7 in bootcamp does not recognize the wifi and usb

    i have just made the bootcamp with Win7. it does not recognize the wireless driver and the high resoltion screen.
    plus every time i have set the right click of trackpad.
    could any one help me in solving this issue?
    is there any way to upgrade the bootcamp driver from 3.0 to 3.3 without passing through 3.1 and 3.2?

    You might wan't to ask in the Boot Camp forum where the Boot Camp gurus hang out.

    It sounds like you have not yet completed the Windows installation process by installing the Windows drivers.

    Hey Stan1958,
    Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with your iPod nano and iTunes. Based on your symptoms, you may find the following resources helpful in resolving this issue:
    Windows
    iPod appears in Windows but not in iTunes
    iPod not recognized in 'My Computer' and in iTunes for Windows
    iTunes reports that "iTunes cannot recognize this iPod at this time"
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • Is it possible to boot windows solely from an external hard drive so that it does not affect the internal drive

    Is it possible to boot windows solely from an external hard drive so that it does not affect the internal drive. I already know that you can partition the internal hard drive to do the very same. Idon't want to use any of the internal space to run windows so I'm asking if it is possible to use a flash drive or external drive through USB to run windows when it is plugged in.

    Read https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5043762?start=0&tstart=0 to discover you can't do it.

  • TS1500 Windows does not recognize the iPhone as existing, though iTunes can see it.

    Windows does not recognize the iPhone as existing, though iTunes can see it.

    I found a webpage where a user reported the same issue as me.
    He said he determined that "foreign pictures" -- meaning any pictures not taken using the iPhone's camera -- were the cause. Once he deleted the "foreign pictures" -- such as pictures obtained from receiving texts from others which included pictures that he saved onto the iPhone, then iTunes worked.
    In my case, the fix was to upgrade the iPhone's OS from 5.1.1 to the latest version.
    Now, both issues are solved:
    Windows recognizes the iPhone as a storage device.
    iTunes can see pictures that I've saved on the iPhone.

  • Can´t install windows 8.1 because boot camp can't partition the disk. I´ve follow many tips but they did´t work

    There are several possibilities.
    1. You do not have contiguous free disk space.
    2. BCA has failed, or you may have a Fusion drive which is causing problems.
    3. You have incorrect permissions on the disk.
    4. Can you boot in OS X Safe Mode - OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? - Apple Support?

  • When I try to click on a download link for a .pdf file Firefox does not recognize the MIME type and tries to download the file as "index.php"

    When visiting a site I frequent I tried to download a linked .pdf file. Previously I've used Firefox 7.0.1 to download the link with no problem. Using Firefox 8 however I the browser does not recognize the .pdf link's mime type. Instead of recognizing the download link as a .pdf file Firefox 8 tries to download it as "index.php". Firefox 8 does this with .doc files and .txt files as well. When I downgrade to 7.0.1 again the problem disappears.

    Hi hakmacpace,
    I'd try starting Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If you don't have the issue while all of your add-ons, extensions, and themes are disabled, you can try adding them back in one by one until you find the culprit. You should look at the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting-extensions-themes Extensions and Themes troubleshooting guide ] and the [[Troubleshooting plugins]] article as well.
    You could also try [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Managing-profiles?s=create+a+new+profile&r=2&e=es&as=s#w_creating-a-profile Creating a new profile].
