I went to the Bootcamp Setup Assistant...

... and it says I can only install Windows 7, but I want to install Windows XP Pro SP3. Do I just continue restart and put in the Windows XP Pro SP3 disk? I also have Windows XP Home SP2 I could install but I'd rather use the Pro.

"It" or "I read somewhere" ? those usually need to be qualified. Or link. Doesn't apply to your Mac.
So you should be fine. There IS a problem with MB/MBP and iMac 2011 models.
http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
I wish Apple would remove old and obsolete tech notes, have sections for or place MacBook etc model specific in their own support page, as in http://www.apple.com/support/macbook that apply just to them also, like there is for the Air that needs special driver.
Summary
MacBook Air (Late 2010), MacBook Pro (Early 2011), and iMac (Mid 2011) computers support 32 and 64 bit versions of Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Professional, or Windows 7 Ultimate.
Note: Windows XP and Vista drivers are not supplied for these computers and are not supported.
Windows 7 MB Air 2010, MBP iMac 2011

  • Every time i try to open itunes i get the 'Itunes Setup Assistant'

    Every time i try to open itunes i get the 'Itunes Setup Assistant' even though i have already installed and configured itunes. And after exiting this i get onto itunes but all of my music is GONE. (even though i know i can always import it back) But this means that whenever i want to use itunes i have to configure it and import all of my tunes again which takes ageees. The, as soon as i go to open it again i have to repeat the whole process!!! By the way, i have already tried re-installing itunes and every other apple device completely on my computer, but nothing is working!!! ANY HELP WILL BE MASSIVELY APPRECIATED!!! Ps. this only just started happening a week or so ago.

    This just started happening to me last week also. After I went through the setup process I could get into my itunes but would get a msg about library not being saved due to user not being an administrator. I went into my program files opened the itunes folder right clicked on the itunes music folder and clicked on "Run as administrator". I haven't had a problem
    since. Don't know if this will work for you but I guess it won't hurt. good luck.

  • Is there a way to acces the "iOS Setup Assistant" from iOS 6 without restoring it?

    When I installed the iOS 6 on my iPhone 4, I chose the wrong computer to sync with (between my old one and my new one) and now my iPhone will only back up on my computer and won't sync new songs or anything!
    I tried to sync with USB cable, I reinstalled iTunes and I'm affraid to restore it!
    So, is there a way to acces the "iOS Setup Assistant" from iOS 6 without restoring it? (so I can choose the right computer)
    Or, is there another solution?
    Thanks!

    Hi!
    you have two ways:
    1- move your iTunes library from your computer to other one and sync your phone again. your apps and etc. has been reinstall.
    2- you can sync your iPhone just with iCloud. first upload your song with iTunes to your iCloud account and then sync your iPhone with that.

  • Can not use the Gateway setup assistant

    Hello,
    I want to use the Gateway setup assistant from NAT service.
    My Os X server is in french.
    I have a bug, when setting for VPN from the assistant, I can't continue she setup.
    I click on the "continue" button but nothing happens !
    Is this a bug ? Someone got the same result ?
    Thx to help

    No answer ?
    Perhaps it is a bug in french translation.

  • How do I get rid of the Microsoft Setup Assistant loop? I migrated my software/documents from another laptop so don't have the disk to reinstall. Please help! Can't open any Microsoft Office software, like Word, and stuck in a loop?

    I migrated my software/documents from another laptop so don't have the disk to reinstall. Please help! Can't open any Microsoft Office software, like Word (for 2008), and stuck in a loop?
    Whenever I select Word Microsoft Setup Assistant appears, asks for feedback, then after selecting okay (both on saying yes or no to feedback) goes on to a registration page. When I click on this it says I've already registered so I just click okay, and then move on to a update page. After this, if I click on Word, the process repeats itself.
    As I said, I don't have the disk to reinstall, and can't find the Office Settings to delete as many pages have suggested I should try. Safe Boot restarting also hasn't worked... Really stuck and need Word very soon for work.
    If you can help, that would be great, and feel free to ask any questions about the situation as I'm not an expert here.
    Cheers,
    Jack

    First, export your contact from iCloud.com and save them on your computer in a safe spot some where (like you desktop).  Use this to help you do this: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3606
    Next, on both of your devices, go to Settings > iCloud and turn on contacts and select Merge. Then turn off contacts and select 'Delete form my [device]' when prompted.
    Now go back to iCloud.com and select a contact (yes they will all be messed up again) and select Command+A on a Mac or Control+A on a PC to select all of the contacts.  Tap the delete key on your keyboard (or right click /control click a contact and select delete).
    You iPhone, iPad and iCloud.com should not be empty for contacts.
    Go back to Settings > iCloud on both devices and turn on contacts again (you should not see merge this time).
    Next, go back to iCloud.com and import your contacts (those exported .vcards).  You can either drag and drop them into the empty contacts list in your web browser, or you can use the gear icon to import.
    You cleaned up contacts should import correctly into iCloud.com and sync to both of your devices.
    Good luck.

  • Can I re-run the Server Setup Assistant?

    I have a G5 tower with OS X Leopard Server installed. I made some rookie mistakes (such as not setting up DNS) during the initial Server Setup Assistant wizard so I would like to give it a try again. However, I already have a lot of files on the server that I don't want to lose. In the past, I have had to reinstall the server software but when I did, it only wants to do an erase and install. There is no opportunity to archive and install so I can save my data and just redo the server setup.
    Further reasons to do this are tonight I discovered that all of my users were gone, including the admin user. I searched the threads and found that I could login as username "Local Administrator" with the password of the previous admin account. I then tried to use the Workgroup manager to add all the users back. I can at least now let the clients log in and access the AFP shared folder that is stored there but I'm getting a log of strange errors with other things. For example, on a fresh client, I used to be able to fire up Directory Utility and have the client automatically configure a few things to work with the server such as Time Machine. Unfortunately, now when I try this I get an error.
    Therefore, if someone can tell me if there is a way to blow out the existing server configuration and redo it from scratch, please enlighten me.

    Makes sense, although you're in a tough spot. While I can appreciate the notion of an inexpensive server, I'd hesitate to use a mini still. Even with an old G5, you can find eSATA options for RAID devices, or at the very least, install two HD's that you can easily access. One option you always want with a reliable server is to be able to replace HD's and copy from a backup in case of a HD crash. The expansion ports on a tower are also pretty important for a server when it comes to expansion, adding RAID's, and exploring other backup/redundancy options.
    Even when we purchase Windows servers, we still buy a box in the 3-5K range. There is certainly a niche for mini servers, but just make sure it will fit your needs and you have a good backup strategy.

  • Using the isight camera in the bootcamp setup with windows 8.1

    Hi
    I am running OSX Maverick in a bootcamp setup with Windows 8.1 and have played around with the isight camera but I would like to know what folder the photo's/video's are sent to?
    Also, are there any settings or user guide for the isight camera in Windows 8.1?
    Thanks

    I don't use Boot Camp, but does anything here help you? Boot Camp - Apple Support.
    My look there did not show anything about the new Windows 8.1.  The latest I saw was Windows 8.

    The answer will be wherever the app you are iusing for the capture stores them unless you change the default location.  This answer is the same for either Windows or Apple operating systems.

  • How do I re-run the Setup Assistant in iPhone 5?

    Just got an iPhone 5 (Sprint is carrier).  I backed up via iCloud the old phone iPhone 4s.  Afterwards, I reset the iPhone 5, went through the motions but did not download the complete backup. So I re-set again and was able to retrieve the iTunes backup but now, I want the setup assistant so I can restore from iCloud
    Already activated new phone 5 from iphone 4s.  However, I don't know how to re-run the setup assistant in order for me to restore from iCloud backup.  I also don't know where restore from iCloud backup is located at. Help!  Don't know iPhone too well, this is my daughter's phone.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

    You can restore a backup only by using the iOS Setup Assistant.

  • ISE cannot push the profile to the cisco network setup assistant?

    We have tried a few android devices with version 4.2+ but still got the error message ‘Unable to download profile.(Have you logged into the guest portal?)’ as shown at the bottom picture.
    In fact, we are connecting the devices to an open SSID which performs MAC filtering, then redirect to CWA and login with AD credentials,
    then redirect to Google play store and can successfully download the network setup assistant.
    Could you please advise the possible reasons that would cause this error message and make ISE cannot push the profile to the cisco network setup assistant?

    Here's a snipit from the Android spw.log.  I see that there is an error trying to verify the hostname.  Is it possible that this is caused by a non-trusted certificate?  I'm using the self-signed cert built into ISE.  I have an entry in the public DNS for guest.domain.com that resolves to the IP of my ISE server accessible from the guest subnet.  I'm allowing all traffic from the guest VLAN to the ISE vlan on the firewall and all traffic to/from the ISE server in the provisioning ACL I have applied by ISE on the WLC during native supplicant provisioning.  I know that guests can communicate with the ISE server since regular guest portal redirection works, just not the network setup assistant.  I've renamed the domain to domain.com in this snipit.

    How can I get to the setup assistant if the iPhone is already setup?

    Hey Toddheel,
    Thanks for the question, and great question by the way. If you have a device that has already been setup, you can erase it to return to the iOS Setup Assistant:
    If you've already set up your device, you can erase all current content to go through the iOS Setup Assistant again. Tap Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. Do this only if you already have a backup, because this step will remove all current content from your device.

  • Network Setup Assistant runs every time I turn the computer on.

    Everytime I turn on my computer, Network Setup Assistant decides that it wants to help me locate and create a new network - which is awfully nice of it. The problem, however, is that it either a) never fully completes because of some failure, or b)doesn't need to happen in the first place because I can access my Airport network without the setup assistant.
    Is there any way to turn the Network Setup Assistant off, or at least make is stop trying to help me when I don't need it to?

    First you can just uncheck them if they are checked if there's nothing there that you want to open when you boot up. Usually there are software programs that you have downloaded
    that you might have in your menu bar at bootup.
    There might be the Mac HD. Check that if you want the HD window opened after bootup.

  • Can't find the manual setup anymore

    Hi Community!
    Yesterday I got myself a TC 2 TB for my MBP and PC setup. Everything went fine with the setup so far. The airport setup assistant guided me through to make my basic settings. Now I would like to make fine adjustments here and there. But when I open the Airport Utility now I can't find the assistant or the manual setup anymore. Where did it go? All I get is the cool graphic with the internet globe and my TC at the bottom. When I click on the TC I can edit, but not for example my printer for sharing over the TC and other configurations that were present during the initial setup.
    How do I get the manual setup back?
    Cheers, Zoober

    Just how do I get rid of the 6.0 version. I tried deleting it but a message said it is a utlity app and can't be deleted. I'm really sorry, I'm new to the Mac world.
    Suggest that you leave it on your Mac and wait for further updates and improvements.
    It is possible to delete the application, but you must use Terminal commands to do so. The Terminal is a scary place for most of us. Best to leave things alone.
    You can keep both 5.6 and 6.0 on your Mac
