Install parallels with bootcamp already installed

I want to install Parallels and already have bootcamp installed. Can I repartition after installing Parallels?

Repartition for what reason? Parallels will automatically offer to create a new VM using your Windows system already installed in the Boot Camp partition.

Parallels with XP allrady installed.

Hello,

[Win]: Can't install ExtendScript ToolKit 2 - Problems with an already installed E'Script T'Kit 2?

Hi
I have problem to install ExtendScript ToolKit 2. I had installed ExtendScript ToolKit 2 and removed it with the Uninstaller. Now I want to reinstall it but it doesn't work. The setup says there is a conflict with the already installed ExtendScript ToolKit 2, but I have removed it.
What can I do?
I have searched in the registry about keys with the ExtendScript ToolKit 2 and removed it, but no success. I have searched in the file system for ExtendScript ToolKit 2 and removed all, no success.
How can I force the installation?
Thanks
Hans

I have just had exactly the same problem and I ended up telephoning Adobe support - officially free products such as the ExtendScript Toolkit 2 do not get telephone support.
The person I spoke to at Adobe suggested I run the CS3Clean utility, and that worked for me. See http://www.adobe.com/go/kb402767
BE SURE TO READ THE INSTRUCTIONS IN FULL FIRST
In my case I only needed to run level 1 in the utility. Bit of a pain though to have to uninstall everything and re-install.

HT3423 How do I find my original serial number if I bought my macbook with logic already installed?

I recently bought a new macbook. Previously I had been using my c.2008 macbook which I bought with Logic express installed. Since then I upgraded to Logic 9. I've restored my new macbook with my time machine. When I open logic it wants the serial number. I put in the upgrade number but it then asks for the original logic serial number. As I bought my mac with it already installed I don't know it. What can I do?

Apple does not pre-install Logic before delivery so either you purchased the laptop used from an individual or a store installed if for you. In either case, you should have received ALL the paperwork and install disks. The serial number for Express is in the paperwork. If you did not get that material, you were running a pirated copy.
If this does not describe your situation, you should call Apple Care and plead your case.

Flash Player will not install thinks it is already installed

Win 7 64bit
I can not open a PDF in the latest reader. It tells me flash needs to be installed. I go to the adobe site and flash player will not install stating it is already installed. The active x widget says not player is installed. It is not listed in managed add ons and is not listed in installed programs.
How can I install the program?

Some PDFs (with Rich Media Content) require the Flash Player plugin (NPAPI) to be installed.
I do not quite understand what you have installed, and what not. I recommend that you uninstall Flash Player completely using the uninstaller from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html
then download and run both installers from
Flash Player for Internet Exporer - ActiveX
Flash Player for Firefox - NPAPI

Requires me to install programs that are already installed

I keep trying to install Google voice but it keeps asking me to install it even days after I installed it. Same with the Netflix Microsoft Silverlight that is needed to play the instant queue. Why does it ask me to install programs that are already installed. I already uninstalled them and reinstalled them but that did not work either. PLEASE HELP!

There's a new version 5.7.1. If you click on install, it will install the new version in lieu of 5.7.

Running Parallels with Bootcamp

Hey guys. I was really wondering whether i should buy Parallels or just use Bootcamp. I was going to play some games on my new MacBook Air so i just thought of Bootcamp, but somebody told me that you could install Parallels and Bootcamp. I could experience both worlds! Cool!
Anyways, here are my questions. I hope you can answer them!
1. If i read correctly, i heard that you can use Parallels based on your bootcamp partition. Am i correct?
2. Does that mean i only have to install Windows once? And i can only have one part of my hard drive used for Windows, instead of 2 if i use Parallels and Windows separatly?
3. So basically, whenever i use Parallels based on my bootcamp parition, am i using Windows basically on bootcamp at the same time? (please tell me if you want to understand what i'm saying, i might not be clear here)
4. So when i use Parallels do i have all the stuff that i will have on my Bootcamp parition? Like all my files and games and whatnot?
Thanks!

1. yes
2. yes
3. yes
4. yes
Read the instructions for doing this on the Parallels or Fusion site. Both explain how to do this.

Can no longer use CD/DVD for installing drivers with bootcamp?

So I was about to use bootcamp to install Windows 7 yesterday, but then I saw that I needed either a CD/DVD or a USB drive for the support software (already have a dvd with Windows 7). Instead I updated the OS and then planned to try again today after returning home with a blank CD. But now there is nothing in the description that says I can use a CD, only stuff about USB drives. I tried going through the process anyway, with a blank cd inserted, but I got a popup telling me to insert a USB drive. Am I going crazy or was this previously an option that has now been removed with the last update? I have found images online that mention CDs/DVDs, but the attached screenshot clearly does not mention it. If its of any relevance, I am on a Retina Macbook Pro, using an external dvd drive. Also I actually don't own a flash drive, and although they're pretty cheap these days it seems silly to have to buy one just for this.

Just download the Bootcamp drivers separately and then load them once you've installed Windows on the system. It's really the same steps, just when you do it yourself, it's not part of this wizard.

Easy to install Lion with BootCamp + Win 8 + NTFS partition for data?

Hey, I have a MacBook Pro (2011) currently on OS X 10.6.8, but I bought Lion 10.7 and want to use that.
Here's what I want to do:
* install Lion (fresh, not upgrade)
* install BootCamp
* install Win 8 (DevEd) (for games and some other apps)
And here are my questions:
1) What's the best (free) way to save/"ghost" the current OS so I can quickly get back to that in case something happens when I install Lion?
2) What order do I install BootCamp and Win 8 in? Any fool-proof tutorial for how to do this?
3) If I do a backup with Time Machine as the last thing I do before installing Lion, I just copy the data back from the TM drive after install, right?
4) I would like to use Win 8 and some programs there to read and write to the HFS+ OS X partition - is there a free and/or good way to do that?
5) On PC I can use WinAmp, the great plugin "DeleteCurrentSong" and a shortcut key to delete the currently playing track. Is there a way to do something similar in any program in OS X?
6) If not, would it be possible to - early in the install process - make a big NTFS partition and put most of my data there so it can be accessed from both OS X (with Paragon) and Windows? And Time Machine wouldn't back it up as long as it's NTFS, right?
Thanks a lot for any answers!

Answer to question 1:
a. Get a USB disc the same size or better larger than your internal HD
b. Download Carbon Copy Cloner (free)
c. Clone the internal HD to the external disc
d. Reboot with the 'option' key held down. Choose the external disc to check that the clone was successful and is bootable.
e. If yes, reboot again, hodling down the 'option' key. Choose the internal HDD.
f. Dismount/eject the external HD and disconnect it from your computer.
g. Go to app store and download Lion.
h. When the download is complete, DO NOT run it. First, copy the file (Applications > Lion Install.app) to another location on your disc (the downloads folder will do). This is because after you run the installer it will delete itself from the Applications folder, and you may very well either want/need to do a re-install later without wanting to wait for hours for the download.
i. Run Applications > Lion Install.app

Trying to install Windows with Bootcamp

Hello. First, I do know this has been a recurrent trouble for a lot of Mac user who have tried to install Windows using Bootcamp. Believe me, I've looked it up both here in the Apple Communities and in saint Google. My situation is, however, that I have replaced my optical drive with a SSD, and now my optical drive works externally, via USB. Everytime I try to install Windows in a dedicated partition in the SSD, it just stays forever in a blank screen with blinking cursor.
Apple's troubleshot won't work for me, and I'm beginning to think that the issue has more to do with the optical drive itself. I tried:
To install Windows on the HDD instead of SSD.
To unplug every USB (even mouse), except for the optical drive with Windows 7.
To install it via USB stick (creating a bootable .iso with Disk Utility). In this case the usb stick does not even appear when holding option key.
To try another Windows 7 version (32/64 bits).
I have even read it might be because of a bad installation of the RAM memory... this makes no sense?!
If anyone has encountered this same situation, I'd appreciate some help. Hope I can get this done, because Steam's Age Of Empires won't ever work in OS X :S
Thank you all for reading and helping!

If your Mac was originally configured with a built-in Optical drive, and it was later replaced, Bootcamp knows your original configuration and will not work properly in the modified configuration, because it uses your Mac's model string (found in About This Mac -> More Info -> System Report -> Hardware) for example, MacbookPro 11,3. The only supported method to install Windows is to restore the original HW configuration and install it and then move hardware around.

Installing RHEL with Bootcamp on MacBook Pro MacBookPro4,1?

I have a one year old Mac Book Pro that I am trying to get RHEL 5.4 installed on via bootcamp. No matter what I do I can't get the installer to boot. I have tried multiple DVD's and even verified the install works on a new Mac Book Pro. Most of the time the installer simply locks up.
I usually use Linux text with all-generic-ide on the boot line.
Thanks for the help.

First off thanks for the excellent support, I am really stuck at this point.
I removed the ide parameter and now I just used linux text. The results I get are that a bunch of kernel messages appear then the background turns blue and a thin text box pops up saying its loading ata..... something it disappears too fast for me to read. Then the machine freezes. I pressed the alt function keys to see if I could look at the system log, here is what it says:
Alt-f3 says "trying to mount CD device hda"
Alt-f4 says status error: hda: lastFailedSense
Hda: Failed opcode was: unknown
Hda: Lost interrupt
Hda: Drive not ready for command
Ide-cd: command 0x3 timed out
Above this junk it looks like it found the partition because it knew it was 20 GB and listed as /dev/sda3. I think it has something to do with the CD drive, is that possible?
Thanks again for the support.

Can i add a single 8GB or ram with my already installed 2x2 GB of RAM?

I need to upgrade my RAM. I have the original 2x2GB of RAM installed but want to know if i can add a single 8GB of RAM with the 2x2GB already installed? Please help?

Here is some info; and below that is an excerpt which appears to apply to your model:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1423?viewlocale=en_US
Additional notes i5 and i7 Quad Core iMac computers come with both top memory slots populated. These computers will not start up if only a single DIMM is installed in any bottom slot; these computers should operate normally with a single DIMM installed in any top slot. Core Duo iMac computers should operate normally with a single DIMM installed in any slot, top or bottom. ("Top" and "bottom" slots refer to the orientation of the slots in the pictures below. "Top" refers to the slots closest to the display; "bottom" refers to the slots closest to the stand).
Now I always get confused which slots Apple deems to be the top or the bottom on the newer Macs - they seem to be looking at it from a different angle than I am. Yours is a 2011 - do you still have two rows with 2 slots each? Yours is working and recognizing it; if I remember correctly Apple calls the top what I'd call the bottom when the iMac is laying screen down. In any case, you should be fine as long as it's working.
