Boot Camp - Installation & Setup Guide (OS X Lion)
Boot Camp: Windows 7 installation frequently asked questions
Apple Support - Boot Camp
Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7. For Boot Camp 4.0 and above you can only use Windows 7 or later. Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows. The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
VirtualBox is an Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris. It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
Note that VirtualBox, Parallels, and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

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.

Recovering Windows for Mac that is installed on a previous version of Mac.

I recently downloaded the Mac Lion OSX and I haven't installed it because, my Windows Office for Mac is still at my old operating system, Mac OSX
Leopard. I lost my Windows for Mac 2011 CD including its key. How can I recover my Windows for Mac before installing my MAC OSX Lion?

Call Microsoft.

Windows for Mac hangs frequently, how can I stop this?

I have Windows for Mac 98, and lately I have been using that a lot to type some papers, usually for seven hours a day for long stretches. What has happened is that at least once a day, the Windows program suddenly freezes without any warning, and the beachball starts spinning. I can't do anything to stop this from happening. I usually wait a few minutes and then go to Force-Quit and shut it down (the message in Force-Quit is that Word is not responding). I can usually recover some of the work when I go to Microsoft (Auto) Recovered Documents but usually I have lost a lot of the work I have done.
After this happening regularly, I started to save the work frequently, and hoped that if it crashed again, I could at least save all the work I had done. However, despite doing this, the recovered file had not saved the work until the most recent save, which I thought was strange.
As my work involves frequent typing in Word documents, this is a big worry.
I type .doc and .docx documents using Windows but from my recall (but I am not sure about this), both types of documents are involved in this problem.
How does this problem arise? Does it have to do with the memory? The Windows is using up too much memory perhaps? Would it be the same with Pages? I don't recall this ever happening with Pages but I suppose I haven't typed really long documents in Pages yet.
My computer is MBA version 3.2. I usually have other programs running at the same time: two browser windows, Pages, iTunes, vlc, Skype, and a program for using wifi with a USB stick. I should close as many programs as I can, I suppose while I am working in Windows, I suppose. Anything else I can do?
Saving frequently helps but not as much as I thought it would.
Does it have to do with my using .doc documents in this Windows program which is a .docx program? Should I install the older Windows for Mac program on the computer? Can I run the two versions of Windows for Mac simultaneously on my computer?

(1) Does it hang or does it crash frequently?
For the difference, see
How to tell an application crash from a hang
<http://marinersoftware.corphelp.com/kb_article.php?ref=5501-WIPV-2930>
(2) Have you installed any add-ons to Word, such as EndNote CWYW?
(3) Are you using any 3rd party font managers, such as Suitcase Fusion?
(4) Are you using any keyboard shortcut or macro managers, such as Keyboard Maestro or TextExpander?

Can I use Windows for Mac in iCloud?

Hello, I would like to use Windows for Mac or any similar program, but I don't want to store it on my hard drive. Can I use it in iCloud, or any other Cloud environment?
Would you recommend a good Windows for Mac type of program?
Thank you!

A virtual machine is a program, see my above post, that lets you install Windows in a virtual environment on your computer. You can not run Windows from iCloud or any other cloud.
As for cost, you have to by the virtual machine (about $60). You also have to buy Windows (about $99). Or you could use Boot Camp Assitant to install Windows. Boot Camp Assistant is included with OSx. Windows will still cost about $99.

I am in my last few months at university and want to buy windows for mac. After i graduate will it still work?

There is no such thing as Windows for Mac. Windows is Windows and you can install it on a Windows computer or on an Apple computer. Once installed it will work until you remove it.

How do I load windows for mac

How do I load windows for mac I have DVD software

You can install Windows on a Mac with Boot Camp or a virtual machine. If you need maximum performance, use Boot Camp.
If you want to use Boot Camp, first check that the Windows version you want to install is compatible with your iMac > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634 Then, open Boot Camp Assistant, in /Applications/Utilities, and follow the steps to install Windows. Check > http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.8.pdf
If you want to use the virtual machine, you have to install an application like Parallels, VMware Fusion or VirtualBox, create a virtual machine and install Windows there

Can I use Windows for Mac?

My boss bought me Parallels Windows for Mac.
Why would I want to use that?
Would it harm my Mac?
Would my Mac be suseptive to viruses with that?

He said in case I wanted to run something that would require windows.
I do not like Windows, I use it at work because I do not have a choice.
Whatever document or anything that anyone sends me that my iMac will not open I just delete.
He also bought me Acronis True Image for Mac, for Backups, but what he does not know is that I purchased a
WD My Passport for Mac 2TB and that is how I back up my Mac once a month.
I feel bad he is such a nice boss. But I really do not like installing things in my Mac that are unnecessary or that might be
harmful to my Mac.

2 Questions about Windows for Mac

1) When you install windows for Mac, does that become the "dominant" OS for the computer, or can you go back and forth? The reason I'm asking is because...
2) I just got a mac, but I have a lot of PC only game,s most of which are PC games, that I want to play. Do PC only games run on Windows for Mac?

Just wanted to clarify one thing and that is that there is no such thing as Windows for Mac. There is Boot Camp that will partition your drive so that you can install Windows on the new partition which in turn will allow you to run Windows Operating system on your Mac.
When you install windows for Mac, does that become the "dominant" OS for the computer, or can you go back and forth?
Neither OSx nor Windows become the dominant system. You are free to choose and go back and forth (requires shut down and reboot) as you see fit. You can set one system as the default over another and switch that too at will.
I just got a mac, but I have a lot of PC only game,s most of which are PC games, that I want to play. Do PC only games run on Windows for Mac?
Yes the PC Only games should run on Windows when installed via boot camp on a Mac however your Mac in turn must meet the games' hardware requirements just like any other windows based PC.

I just installed Acrobat Pro for Mac. I would like to set it up to go into the regular program home

I just installed Acrobat Pro for Mac. I would like to set it up to go into the regular program home page (just like the windows based) instead of the "getting started" window.

Good day,
Choose Acrobat > Preferences. Click 'General'. Uncheck the 'Show welcome screen' option under Application Startup.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Using windows for mac

I am new to computing. My Mac is intel based with OS 10.7.5. I read on one of the communities that if I use boot camp
to download windows 7 it would open up my mac for PC viruses.
If I get windows for mac from the app store, will I be suseptible to PC viruses

Boot Camp installs Windows on a separate partition from OS X. When you boot Windows OS X is not running, so any malware from Windows cannot affect OS X.
Windows must be purchased separately as there is not 'windows for Mac.' There is Windows only.

Bootcamp gpu for Mac Pro 1,1

Hi all
Looking for a good Windows only bootcamp gpu for Mac Pro 1,1.
Anyone one have any ideas for a windows gaming gpu that will work well?
Dont need to get latest if the Mac Pro 1,1 slot is limited, but would like to get a better card for Windows games.
Price is not really a problem, more just dont want to spend more if the Mac Pro 1.1 is slot limited.
Thanks very much.

What do you want to use the pc vid card for? Gaming?
If you don't need the best of the best you can get, perhaps just grabbing an apple 4870 might work best.
The $350 might be a little steep, but it might be worth it as you can good graphics in not only windows but mac as well.
You could sell your 1900xt to off-set the price. And then just keep the 7300gt just in case.

I'm sure this is a setting fix, but can't find it-. All of my windows for mac programs open when I turn on my computer, such that I have to close each one individually to get to my desk top. How do I adjust so none of them open unless I choose to?
