  • Will installing OS X Yosemite ruin my Windows 8.1 Boot Camp partition?

    Hey everyone,
    The question is pretty self explanatory. I've got a MBA running on latest version of Mavericks, and I'm wanting to update to Yosemite.
    I have a Windows 8.1 partition created with Boot Camp, and I'm just wondering if installing Yosemite will wipe the partition or cause it to not be able to used - because I've seen that some people have had issues with this in the past with the beta test version of Yosemite.
    Has anyone given it a shot? Had any issues?
    TIA

    I Have a windows partition as well as a ubuntu partition. When I installed ubuntu, the same thing happened that a lot of people are describing. My windows partition disappeared, but my system files were still there. This was because once anything messes with the existing partitions, the built in boot manager no longer recognizes your partitions. I have a boot manager (rEFInd) that I installed that I use to recognize and boot all my partitions now. Now I want to update the OSX partition and it's giving me warnings that this will negate the bootcamp boot manager (which is why I have rEFInd in the first place), and I just want a way to bypass the warning

  • If I reinstall leopard will I lose my windows partition?

    I am new to mac, and this may be a silly question. I want to reinstall leopard, but I am afraid that in this case my windows partition would be erased. If I reinstall leopard choosing "archive and install", will my windows partition be damaged?

    Just one more question, is there any option to copy my existing applications and data to the "previous system" folder WITHOUT keeping my network preferences?
    No. The options you see are the only ones available.

  • I want upgrade my software to snow leopard. If I install it will I lose all my information on my computer?

      I want upgrade my software to snow leopard. If I install it will I lose all my information on my computer?

    It is always a good idea to backup your data prior to ANY update/upgrade.
    That being said, 10.6 is designed to upgrade without the loss of data if you are moving from 10.4 or later.

  • HT1444 If i download the new OS X Mountain Lion to my Macbook Pro that has Snow Leopard, will i lose my apps and downloads (such as: Microsoft word, powerpoint, excel, oovoo, skype) and will i lose all of my pictures/documents and information?

    If i download the new OS X Mountain Lion to my Macbook Pro that has Snow Leopard, will i lose my apps and downloads (such as: Microsoft word, powerpoint, excel, oovoo, skype) and will i lose all of my pictures/documents and information?

    I should just change the OS and leave all your apps and data alone.  That said, if any of your apps are old and use Rosetta (ppc apps), they won't run under Mountain Lion.
    Make sure you take a good Time Machine or Clone backup before you convert.
    You can check compatibility of your apps here:

  • I tunes will no longer open. If I uninstall and re-install itunes will I lose the music in the library

    Itunes weill no longer open. If I uninstall and re-install itunes will I lose the music from the itunes library?

    Hello,
    All of your content is stored outside of iTunes in the event that the program needs to be removed or reinstalled. Take a look at the article below for instructions on how to properly remove and reinstall iTunes.
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
    Notes:
    iTunes Store purchases or songs imported from CDs are saved in your My Music folder by default and are not deleted by removing iTunes. While it is highly unlikely that you will lose any contents of your iTunes Library when following these steps, it is always a good idea to ensure that your iTunes library is backed up. If you're unsure how to backup, see iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive.
    These steps may take a significant amount of time to complete, depending on your system.
    Hope that helps,
    Griff W.

  • I have an older PC with three i-tunes libraries on it that go with three different i-tunes accounts.  The PC won't boot up and needs to be re-installed.  Will I lose the three libraries?  Is there a way to reverse sync the libraries from the i-pods after?

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer files/docs/pics/music/etc.
    Just use your backup to put everything back.  This is one of the many reason that backup are very basic.

  • Top 15 or 20 mistakes I made installing Windows XP using Boot Camp/Leopard

    There are pitfalls installing XP in Boot Camp. I'm pretty sure they are mostly covered somewhere on the Apple Bootcamp Support page. Here's what this Windows virgin found in the past few days installing XP on my MacBook Pro running Leopard. By all means, feel free to correct or add to my comedy of errors.
    1) First run Software Update on your Mac to make sure you are working with the newest Mac software and firmware. If you are obsessive, run Disk Utility afterwards and restart. (I did this)
    2) Follow the instruction in Apple's Boot Camp Installation Guide pdf to the letter. Don't skip anything. Don't assume anything. Print it if you can't run it on another machine during the Windows install. (I looked at it, not well enough.) Read #3-7 before you start the install.
    3) Run Boot Camp Setup Assistant to "preformat" a Windows partition. 5 gigs is too small a partition and means more work later since XP eventually used up 5.6 gigs of my 32 gig partition (26.4 gigs free after a fully updated install of Win XP Service Pack 3 + anti-virus software + Adobe Reader + one app). (I avoided the too-small partition by dumb beginner's luck but see #4)
    4) If you mess up your Windows partition and decide to start over, restart in Leopard and use Mac's Boot Camp Assistant to remove any inoperative Windows partition. If you are obsessive, run Disk Utility afterwards and restart. Then use Boot Camp Assistant again, as in #3 (I got to use this feature, too.)
    5) Use the right Windows software. Win XP Service Pack 2 does install and can be updated after you have a solid XP installed with driver. Before you update, read #8-10. (I managed to buy the right XP software)
    6) During installation, with the Windows Installer, you must reformat the Windows partition created by the Boot Camp Assistant. Don't get fancy and repartition: just format. Read pp. 13-14 of the Apple Boot Camp Installation Guide pdf. The Windows NTFS format using long, slow, careful reformat takes a looonnng time, long enough to make me think the installer was hung, except the cursor was blinking. (I did this but only after I tried to install the dumb way, without the Win installer reformat. If you don't reformat, you'll see a black screen, "Disk Error" with a flashing cursor at the top. Time to refer to #4.)
    7) When Windows reboots after a successful install of XP SP 2, immediately eject the Windows install disk using Windows and immediately insert the Leopard Disk to install Windows drivers. (I did this. Some report problems with this step, but it worked for me.)
    8) When you restart in Windows, run Windows Update to install everything except Service Pack 3. Mouse around the update feature a bit. If you don't update to SP 3, there is an optional install of a new IE 7 and an XP update that fixes some installer issues. (I did the optional install before I figured out #9 and tried to install SP 3 a couple of times. See #10 for what happens if you try to install SP 3 before #9.)
    9) Using IE 7 in XP, go to the Apple Boot Camp page to download and install Boot Camp 2.1 Update For Windows XP. This installs on the Windows side, not in OS X. ( I did this, throwing caution to the wind and choosing "Run" when the download options of "Run" or "Save" appeared.) When BCUpdateXP.exe opens, the installer asks you to choose repair/update or uninstall. Choose repair/update. I think the machine needs a restart.
    10) Now install XP Service Pack 3 using Windows Update. If you try to install XP SP 3 before the Boot Camp 2.1 Update for Windows XP, you will receive the following error message:
    "There is not enough disk space on C:\WINDOWS\$NtServicePackUninstall& to install Service Pack 3. Setup requires a minimum of 4 additional mebabytes of free space or if you want to archive the files for uninstallation. Setup requires 4 additional megabytes of free space. Free additional space on your hard disk and then try again. Error Code 0x8007F003." It's a lie, assuming you set up a large enough Boot Camp partition at the outset. Both Windows and Disk Utility will tell you the size and available space of the Boot Camp partition.
    Like I said, everyone is welcome to add the next 5 or 10 ways to mess up. Without Search, this forum is rough.

    Because I created FAT32 partition using Boot Camp tool few days ago I installed my custom copy of Windows XP with SP3, IE7 and WMP10 integrated using nLite (for WMP10 integration use RVM Integrator). I did not use Boot Camp tool this time - I just booted CD using Option key. Then I installed Boot Camp 2.0 drivers you can find on Mac Disk 1. After this I installed Boot Camp drivers 2.1 update. In Add or remove Programs I checked drivers - I uninstalled old drivers which call identical, but you can skip this. Everything works fine BTW it is better to format your partition to NTFS - you have much less disk errors, you do not waste time for disk errors scans during Windows startup, your data are much more safe. If you need NTFS write permissions use great tool Paragon NTFS for Mac OSX or open source NTFS driver.

  • How can I install windows 7 using boot camp, if the partition will not format correctly?

    Hi All,
    I'm new to this forum and have had a chance to look around a little bit, but haven't really found an answer to the problem that I'm having.
    I have an imac and I'm attempting to use boot camp.  I have used it in the past, with prior versions of mac os x, but this is the first time that I have tried it with 10.6.8.  The first thing I found out is that I can't use Windows XP, even with service pack 2 installed, because it doesn't find the "boot camp" partition.  So, I recently obtained a full retail copy of Windows 7 and have been trying to install it.  I have no problem with the boot camp assistant creating the new partition, 200 GB.  However, when I insert the Windows 7 DVD and the computer restarts in the Win 7 install screen it tells me that I cannot install Windows on the selected partition (which I expected to see.)  So I choose "format" the further format the partition.  It doesn't ask me how I would like to partition this, but just seems to start.  All seems to go fine until it finishes and i see the same message of "Windows cannot be installed in the selected partition."  I can click on the format tab endlessly but it still doesn't seem to work.  Does anyone have any ideas?  I've called Apple and their technicians keep telling me that I need to reinstall the Mac OS again, which I've tried.  It doesn't seem to help either.
    Thanks in advance for your help,
    DTK

    Yes, I choose "Format" under the advanced options screen.  It seems like it formats, but then I get the same message of "Windows cannot be installed to this disk.  The selected disk is of the GPT partition style."  I can continue to click "format" but i keep getting the same error.
    There is the answer, right in front of us ....
    Delete the bootcamp partition and start again the correct partition type is GUID but BootCamp should take care of that automatically so try again.

  • Error 0x80070017 when installing Windows 7 via Boot Camp...

    I've been trying hard to research this issue and haven't come across anything that has worked for me.
    At work, we have an iMac (Early-2009) that we wish to install Windows 7 on. Previous user has left, so I reinstalled Snow Leopard (10.6) and used Disk Utility from the disc to reformat complete to GUID single partition Mac OS Extended (Journaled), which is pretty standard for Macs. Mac OS X installed and booted just fine. I updated completely to 10.6.8 and all other updates. Only installed Microsoft Office 2011 and Firefox.
    So Boot Camp begins...
    Found that the early-2009 model doesn't "support" Windows 7 64-bit, so we are fine going with 32-bit. The 32-bit Windows 7 disc has been used to install Windows 7 using Boot Camp on 2 Mac Mini's (one Intel Core Duo, the other one Intel Core 2 Duo) just a few days ago.
    Opened Boot Camp Assistant, partitioned the 1TB drive equally, inserted the Windows 7 disc, and clicked Restart.
    It boots from the Windows 7 disc, I go through the options, choose the BOOTCAMP partition and format it (I assume Windows 7 is choosing NTFS for me). Click next.
    It copies the files instantly, but then "begins" to Expand the files. It remains at 0% for 5-10 minutes (I can hear the Windows 7 DVD spin down and spin up, but mostly spin down). That's when the error hits:
    "Windows cannot copy files required for installation. The files may be corrupt or missing. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation. Error code: 0x80070017"
    I click Ok and cancel the install. Restart and boot back into Mac OS X. And here I am.
    Important Notes:
    I've tried multiple times with a 64-bit disc as well. I will likely go check out another 32-bit disc from our software department, but I know this disc works on other Macs.
    This issue occurred a month back as well when we attempted to install Windows 7 via Boot Camp (so before the hard drive and OS were reformatted and reinstalled). I was hoping reformatting and reinstalling the Mac OS X would solve the issue.
    The Superdrive appears to be working just fine.
    I read somewhere that I need to use repair disk to fix it. Does anyone know if I can repair disk a NTFS partition? Or am I suppose to repair disk the parent drive itself? The place I read it wasn't specific AT ALL and the forum was closed and I couldn't find a way to get a hold of the person. It just said "Repair disk did the trick". People, if you find a solution to your own problem, POST the solution!
    Thanks in advance!

    Yea, I saw that kb article. I verified we have the early 2009 iMac. It's an iMac 9,1 (3.06 24-inch, A1225).
    As far as different hardware, I really don't think so, but I'll have to double check with my fellow employees. The specs all match up, but I'll see if anyone remembers having to replace hardware or send it into Apple.
    I did think of trying an external DVD drive too, I'll see if I can scrounge one up. I'll post if it works or not.
    The employee using the machine knows Windows, but is willing to learn the Mac OS X. Diversify your experiences I always say!
    An added note to the Repair Disk "solution". Turns out you can't run Repair Disk on NTFS partitions or the parent hard drive that contains that partition, which makes since. I can only run Repair Disk on the HFS+ partition which did no good. (This is, of course, from booting up using a Mac OS X Install DVD).
    Mac_Win, thanks for the suggestions!

    If you have a Mid 2010 model: Computers that can be upgraded to use OS X Internet Recovery. If later then see below:
    Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
    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 Internet Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
    Partition and Format the hard drive:
    Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    If you have an earlier model:
    Clean Install of Snow Leopard
         1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
             with your computer.  Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
             After the chime press and hold down the  "C" key.  Release the key when you see
             a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
         2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
             button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
             After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
             size.)  Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.  Set the number of
             partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
             and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
             (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
         3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed
             with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
         4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
             Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
             username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
             Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
             install of OS X.  You can now begin the update process by opening Software
             Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

  • Need help installing my graphics driver in windows vista via boot camp

    New to mac so first time on forum as well.
    Love the Mac but i also want to get on some old games. C&C The First Decade mainly.
    I am currently using below.
    Mac mini Mid 2011 processor 2.5 GHz Intel Core it
    Memory 4 GB 1333 Mhz DDR3
    Graphics AMD Radeon HD 6630M 256 MB
    Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5
    Installing windows vista home premium 32 bit
    I have installed windows vista home premium using boot camp assistant and downloaded the windows drivers as well. After i have installed windows i installed boot camp using my Mac OS X snow leopard which installed boot camp 3 or 3.1 i believe and i eventually got apple updates for 3.2 which is what i am now runnning on vista. I had trouble getting my sound to play through my speakers at first but eventually got them working and now it is my graphics driver that i cannot seem to get working. In vista(I also downloaded service pack 1 and 2) when i go to control panel and check out my device control it shows a yellow exclamation point next to the adapter. I guess i need help in getting my graphics installed correctly on my windows. Is there something i should take off to install the correct driver? Or do i just need the correct driver download? If i have the correct driver how do i upload it onto my windows side in the device control.
    When i try to run c&c generals/zero hour i get a directx 8.1 error, red alert 2 is black but i can hear. i know these games can work i installed the graphics correctly the first time when i did not have sound as this is my second time installing windows so the game did load when i did not have sound.
    Advise?
    I was thinking about saying forget this i can't waste hours of my time anymore but i have to be close to getting everything working if i had graphics before and no sound but sound this time and no graphics. I was also thinking about just buying windows 7 home premium sp1 64bit system builder dvd off amazon and reinstalling windows using windows 7 but i want to make sure i can play these games before i spend the money. I thought my mini couldn't support windows vista and if it did only boot camp 4? how am i getting this far to get things to work?
    What is the driver i need to install to get these games working? What do I need to do or what am I missing???
    Do i need to install a different boot camp off apple and find a driver that will get mine to work in vista?
    Any and all responses will be greatly appreciated i have been at this everyday for hours.

    Also is there something, say maybe a driver, that was installed i do not need that is blocking me from installing the correct drivers? What driver in my boot camp folder do i need to install to get to the correct display to run those games.
