I want to install Windows on my Mac...

but I realized that I need an installation disc to properly install the drivers, however the Mac didn't come with one. So where can I get an installation DVD?

its bad to say such thing first his question not related to apple store and we are professional engineers so we know what we are talking about and who told you we don't have apple we have everything here places like icity and alfastore etc....

  • I want to install windows on my mac pro but my superdrive is dead...

    I have a 2008 Mac Pro (Intel) running 10.10.  I'm trying to install windows (8.1) on my machine which I have done several times before (mostly XP and windows 7).  I've created a bootable USB drive using bootcamp but my machine won't boot from it or recognize it on startup.  From research it doesn't seem that machines that came with super drives will allow this.  Since my super drive is dead I need a way to install windows without it - buying a new one would only be used to install windows.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    I can have the USB show up either with or without pulling the OS X hardrive.  When I try to launch it however nothing happens although the USB flickers forever showing activity.  I've tried creating the usb from both .cdr and .iso files with no difference.
    I looked at the link you posted and it seems that the OP was only able to install windows from his DVD player.  I really hope there is another way and appreciate your help.

  • My keyboard and my mouse doesn't work when I want to install windows on my mac.

    Hi,
    I have a macbook 15 retina, 2.5 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 Memory Go 1600 MHz DDR3, OS X 10.9.5  (13F34).
    I'm trying to install Bootcamp, but when they ask me to choose the language I'm not able to move or write. So I can't install windows. I tried to do everything from the beginnig 3 times by following carefully each step. I'm using windows 7 professionnal to install boorcamp. I'm sorry with my english, I'm french speaker.
    How can I resolve this problem?

    1. Did you use Bootcamp Assistant?
    2. Did you build a USB with Windows 7 ISO and Bootcamp drivers?
    3. You should use a USB2.0 disk, not a USB3.0 disk (flash drive).
    4. What year is the Retina MBP?

Help

    The two other posts are correct... so I'll just clarify.  What's happening right now is your system is trying to boot into Windows in order to finish the installation.  What you want to do is make it boot into OS X.  As mende1 indicated, with your system off, hold down the Option key and continue to hold it while you turn the system on.  You will eventually be presented with an option to select which partition you would like to boot from.  Choose OS X.  After you get into OS X, again, as mende1 indicated, change the Startup Disk to OS X.  What this will do is cause your system to automatically boot into OS X when you restart it instead of you having to use the Option key when booting each time.
    Relaunching BootCamp Assistant will allow you to remove your Windows installation and partition.

    "At least 16 GB of free space on the disk onto which you’re installing for 32-bit, or 20 GB for 64-bit (for Microsoft Windows and Windows-based applications)."
    That's what Apple proposes in here Boot Camp: System requirements for Microsoft Windows
    Personally I would double these amounts and add to that the diskspace needed for your Windows games.

  • I have a Mac Book Pro A1226 and I want to install Windows 7 Ultimate. I have boot camp 3.0, I have a Mac Book Pro A1226 and I want to install Windows 7 Ultimate. I have boot camp 3.0

    Please help.  I have a Mac Book Pro ( late 2007- A1226)  that I want to install Windows 7 ultimate on.  I have boot camp 3.0 and I can set up the partition but when i click start installation, I get a black screen ( for a few seconds) then it goes to a grey window, which alternates between flashing the apple symbol and a circle with line through it.  It will do this for however long I let it go for.
    Would it be better for me to buy parallels software than keep persisting with this avenue.

    First, make sure you ONLY have the wired Apple Keyboard and wired mouse connected.
    You should have BootCamp Asst. 3.3 or 3.4 now I believe is the latest version.
    Do you have the W7 disk or ISO download version?
    When does the flashing start, after Windows 7 sets the NTFS formating and you click to install?

    Hey everyone,

    Sincerely,

    There's been an update for OSX ML which addresses the issue for installing Windows 8 on bootcamp.
    It's NOT recommended that you Upgrade.. However, the way to get the drivers is:
    You'll need an external USB drive formatted as FAT for this.
    1) In OSX, start the Bootcamp Assistant
    2) Press Next
    3) UNTICK 'Remove WIndows 7 or Later Version'
    4) TICK Download the Latest Windows Support Software from Apple
    5) Insert USB drive
    6) Press CONTINUE
    The drivers should download, and copy a WIndowsSupport folder onto the USB drive.
    I did notice that Windows 8 still requires beta drivers for some aspects such as VGA (the Radio HD Card), which you can get on the AMD website.
    Futhermore, why are you using Windows 8 "32" bit when you blatently have a powerful 64bit?
    Anyway, hope this post helps ;-)

    Of course there is. There is with any computer system that you connect to the internet or transfers files to and from. When you run Windows on your Mac you increase the chance from zero that you will get a Windows based virus to virtualy the same risk as any other Windows user.
    The weaknesses in Windows OS and applications are well trodden by virus and worm malcontents the world over. That doesn't mean that OSX is exempt though. All it will take is once and the entire Mac world will sit up and take notice......

    insteade of using mac os on macbook pro, i wanted to install windows 8 pro on mac book pro, will that void my warranty

    Installing any OS you want on your machine will not void the warranty.  Only making hardware changes other than those listed as "user servicable" by Apple, or negligence will void your warranty.
    I will warn you that there might be SMC or EFI udates you will want for your Mac hardware that are only available if you are runnign Mac OS.  For this reason, you may want to keep a small partition on your drive which still has Mac OS installed, or at the very least, keep an external HD around to be able to boot Mac OS.  Additionally, if you are having hardware issues, like a failing DVD writer, you may have a harder time getting Apple to repair it under warranty if you can not reproduce the error under Mac OS.  When I had the DVD writer replaced in my first MacBook Pro, I found the problems trying to write discs under Windows 7, but when the tech could reproduce an error under Mac OS, he quickly accepted it was a hardware problem and not software.  Without reproducing it under Mac OS, he admitted that he might not be able to get them to replace the drive.

    You can install Windows 7 or Windows 8 ISO using a USB flash drive. Please read over and reference the attached link for information on using Boot Camp to install Windows.

  • How to install windows 8 on mac 10.6.8...

          I've been using mac 10.6.8 from 2008 which consists of 512MB RAM and 80GB Hard Disk.I want to install Windows 8 on my comptuter and so tried to install using Bootcamp but didn't get it.Could any one can help me..
         Thank you

    This is not quite correct. Windows 8 can, in fact, run in Boot Camp with Snow Leopard. I am doing it myself. Apple does not officially support this for my hardware (MBP 2009) and it will not allow the installation of the boot camp Windows drivers in the normal fashion (one has to get the Windows download from Apple (Boot Camp 5?) and install them manually).
    [To the OP] You will not want to run Windows 8 with 512MB ram. I can't imagine using that little in SL. Windows 8 install is huge and takes quite a bit of space - 40GB minimum. If your machine can run it you need to max out the ram on your machine, which you should do anyway, and get a bigger hard drive. Also consider running Win 8 in a vm with VMware, Parallels, or the free Virtualbox which will make it much easier to set up.
