Installing Windows XP on your Mac. PLEASE HELP!!
So I am trying to install windows xp on my macbook pro and I am having difficulty doing so. To begin with I do have Parallels already installed on my computer. However I do not have a windows XP cd. My school currently offers a free download of windows xp and other programs to students and what not and I downloaded it from there and received a working product key. Now when I go to open the program its a bunch of grey boxes and when i double click on them it asks what program I would like open them up with.
Can anyone help me out with this? Thanks
Wow. The "papa smurf always says..." attitude is amazing.
You must work for Apple. The condescending attitude is unmistakable and I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say go crawl back under your "did you try holding the shift key down" rock.
Theop: Installing WindowsXP on your mac requires you to have Bootcamp, which comes with OSX 10.5.6.
Instructions here: http://www.askdavetaylor.com/howdo_i_install_windows_xp_on_my_mac_using_boot_camp1.html
Installing with Parallels info is here: http://www.askdavetaylor.com/howdo_i_install_windows_xp_on_my_mac_with_parallels_desktop1.html
Suggestions for handling people that are rude to you for no reason can be found by watching Silence of the Lambs and Hannibal.
Sorry for the attitude, but we aren't all unhelpful.

My superdrive damaged so i use external dvd-rw. Boot camp assistant shows only two options and it recognise my ext dvd-rw then i partition for boot camp partition but after the partition that restarts automatically then blank screen displayed infinitely give me solution.
Also, If you have a Mac which is a UEFI model, and not in the list as shown by the BC Info.plist file, then a direct UEFI install of Windows 8 (not Windows 7) is possible and works very well.

I followed this procedure to check my files:
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
The following procedure will help whether your system has been modified. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then either copy or drag it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Copy or drag — do not type — the line below into the Terminal window, then press return:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}'
Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered (the text, please, not a screenshot.) You can omit the final line ending in “$”.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|edu\.mit|org\.(amavis|apache|cups|isc|ntp|postfix|x)/{print $3}'
This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|edu\.mit|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'
Step 4
ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' 2> /dev/null
Remember, steps 1-5 are all drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste, whichever you prefer — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal.
I believe that I have a keylogger or some sort of spyware installed on my mac, please help!
POST YOUR OUTPUT FOR REVIEW/COMMENT.
After running these commands, here is the output. Can you please tell me if you see anything here. I would be so grateful.

thank you much for helping...sincerely. tlenbro. -
my iphoto wont open since i updated my mac, please help? it says i need to install an iphoto library upgrader which I have installed but still cant see my photos.
What version of iPhoto are you using? 9.6 is the current version.
Do a backup.
Quit the application.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.iPhoto.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Restart, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this. -
Detailed walkthrough of Installing Microsoft Windows 7 or Windows 8 on your Mac
This is for anyone wanting the step by step instructions for installing Microsoft Windows 7 or 8 on their Mac. I have the Mid 2010 model iMac with the bluetooth keyboard and touch gesture mouse. If you have similar or just want to know how to do it step by step, please watch my tutorial. Hope it helps.
http://youtu.be/rTPoyElIgZgMy guess, you have not seen the threads and posts about Windows 8 on here before posting.There are no stuck threads and people tend to not look or when they do not find threads that are helpful (try search and "month" means "Aug" not the last 30 days and it is harder now to do searches than it use to be or than just using Google!
Common issues? Trouble just downloading drivers. Burning ISO. Using external USB-DVD or flash installer drive. Lack of internet access!! audio, graphic drivers, graphic switching between Intel and ATI.
Someone wrote a nice guide "How to install Windows on Mac Using Boot Camp" o weeks ago, it was nice, but I CANNOT find it again (I should have bookmarked it and put the link in the quick reference cheat sheet. They seemed to not be aware of the help on the Boot Camp Support page.

when trying to launch the "Boot Camp Control Panel", but I just stumpled upon a solution.
I created a new Windows user, that was not Administrator. When I logged in Boot Camp updateded something and asked me to restart the computer.
After restarting and logging in with my new user, I could start the "Boot Camp Control Panel" configure tap to click and use F1-F12 as function keys.
Then I changed the new account to Administrator and now the control panel can not be startet again... but my settings remained... only on the new user only though.
============
I had problems with windows 7 after the installation using boot camp. The GT 650M was not showing up as the graphics adapter. I fixed the problem by inserting my windows support software CD a second time. I did not let it use auto run. I went into the Windows 7 directory and then into the Nvidia directory and ran setup.exe. This installed the Nvidia drivers for me. If this works correctly, you will have an Nvidia control panel available to you. I set the resolution to 2880x1800. I also set windows to 200% magnification.
I think what happens is that after you install windows, and then run the windows support CD, the main boot camp setup script seems to stop on the nvidia driver install--everything else installed correctly.

I did manage to make the trackpad work. You need to install trackpad++
(http://www.techspot.com/downloads/4967-trackpad-control-module.html), it will enable the trackpad driver on boot camp. After you install the trackpad++, trackpad++ will complain something. ingnore it. You should be able to enable trackpad. And you can now even uninstall the trackpad++, the trackpad will sill work.
brightness, what graphics card are you using? It might be due to the auto adjusting brightness running there. You can go to your power options, edit the one you are using (Change plan settings >> Change advanced power settings) and look for Batteries >> Enable adaptive brightness and disable the one you are using. After that, the scrollbar for adjusting brightness in power options should work again.
HDMI audio in Windows 7 64 bit
reinstalled the Intel video drivers and audio worked immediately.
My config: 2011 Mac Mini 2.3, Intel 3000HD video
. . upgrade to 8GB ram
Samsung 8000 series LED TV connected with HDMI
Memorex external BluRay writer(USB only power)
For Windows 7 install, I tried installing with the 64 bit DVD but this failed as documented elsewhere.
Instead, setup with USB drive, follow instructions available in bootcamp
After partitioning drive with boot camp and reboot, install Windows 7 with install wizard.
When asked whether to allow automatic updates say 'no', then complete installation and run boot camp tools for Windows.
Because the network driver gets installed prior to the Intel video driver, Windows will install the Windows Update Intel video driver which breaks HDMI audio.
When auto updates are off, the Intel video driver that is correct gets installed last. HDMI audio works with this driver.
Apple should install the Intel video driver first and it would solve this problem.
I now have full blown 3D BluRay support on the MacMini with TruHD audio, fantastic!

MacBook Pro audio sound fixhttp://realitypod.com/2010/07/macbook-pro-no-sound-in-windows-7-final-fix/
bluetooth connection is incredibly unreliable/intermittent when in Windows (I run Windows 7 64-bit and Boot Camp 4.0, and got both devices connected without any trouble via Bluetooth).
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4079148
After much testing, I have found the cause of lagging/jumpiness on the Bluetooth Magic Mouse and Magic TrackPad in Boot Camp. Hopefully this will help others:
The drivers for the Broadcom 802.11n Wireless Adapter have a setting called "Bluetooth Collaboration" that is Disabled by default. Enabling this option removes the problem instantly. My Magic Trackpad now works flawlessly, even if I stand 6 metres from the machine. It now works just as well as under Mac OS. The setting can be found under:
Control Panel > Device Manager > Network Adapters > Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter (right click and choose "Properties".
Under the "Advanced" tab, highlight the setting named "Bluetooth Collaboration", then change it to Enable. Then click OK.
I narrowed the problem down to the wireless card by disabling ALL startup services and processes for Windows, then re-enabling one by one.
As soon as I enabled the Windows Wireless Service, the problem came back.
Similarly, disabling the Wireless Card inside the Network and Sharing Center (or Device Manager) removes the problem.
This led me to believe it must be a driver issue with the wireless card, since the problem didn't occur with the Magic TrackPad under Mac OS, or on my mother's Windows 7 64-bit computer.
So when I went into the Driver Properties to check for an update, I found this setting about Bluetooth Collaboration.
All Apple notebooks use the Broadcom card (and have done for years), so this driver is installed for almost anybody using Boot Camp on an Apple notebook. I'd assume this problem would affect anybody using Boot Camp + wifi + a Bluetooth device.

Windows 8 to manage your mobile broadband use for you
By Peter Bright
Windows 8 will contain built-in support for mobile broadband devices and smarter use of metered Internet connections, as detailed in the lastest post on Microsoft's Building Windows 8 blog.
Most 3G mobile broadband connections are subject to usage limits, and keeping track of data usage at the moment normally means running an application from the mobile operator, or even checking on their website. Windows 8 will have its own usage counters so that users can keep track of how much data they've burned through over the current billing cycle.
Windows 8's faster Wi-Fi connectivity, with hot spots being found and connected to in under a second, and its new support for Wi-Fi hotspots that use authentication portals. Instead of having to open a browser to enter a username and password, it will be possible to type credentials directly into Windows itself.
How to view error message:
From Control Panel-> Admin. Tools-> Event Viewer-> Windows logs:
Check Application and System Folders for Red highlit messages. Note that you can right-click clear these log folders.
Memtest
This is a step by step guide with audio and video to explain how to use memtest to see if your memory is defect:
Another thing to add is that some errors will not be found on the first pass, best to do at least 3 passes.

Memory that "seems" to work in OS X (Lion, ML and earlier) but fails and does show errors with Windows and shows up in memtest - so don't trust your RAM just because it seems okay. -
Hi, since installing mountain lion on my macbook, it wont download pdf files from internet sites, the same problem does not exist on my mac mini, i am using firefox on both macs, please help!
Back up all data.
Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then launch Safari and test.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again. -

Hello ,
I have installed adobe illustrator CS5 and when i open it..tool bar isnt working.. when i click at rectangle/pen tool the sub options on it dont appear though black sign comes.. am confused wat to do?? i have windows 8 as OS.. please help soonest.....thankyoucharmi,
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Unable to install windows 8 on the mac
how do I install windows 8 on the Mac I tried but cannot get past windows set up . Where do you want to install windows? I have highlighted Drive 0 Partion 4 and it comes up with this We couldn't creat a new Partion or locate an existing one.
There are two different methods of installation, EFI and MBR, you are running a method which is combination of both. Either your MBR is incorrect or BCA failed to create one. EFI method requires a partition which is Free Space and the disk is GPT-only while MBR method expects to the disk to be partitioned already. If you see 'disk0 partition 4', it is the MBR method, and BCA could have failed.
Please post the output of the following Terminal command. You will be prompted for your password, and it will not be echoed back to you. "sudo" will also warn you about improper and potential data loss due to such 'abuse'.
sudo fdisk /dev/disk0
sudo gpt -vv -r show /dev/disk0

Installing windows XP on a mac mini
Hi All,
I have installed windows XP on four macs now and have never experienced a problem whatsoever however on my 5th attempt the following is happening and i wondered if anybody can help?
I partition the hard drive using boot camp no problem then i click on the start installation still no problem the blue box appears and starts to install windows files this then brings you to the screen were you can select the partion to install xp to so i scroll down to my partition and press enter now it is here were the problems seem to start when i press enter rather than taking me to the screen which lets you select what format to carry out on the partition in it starts the installation therefore not formating the partition in the correct format and as a result windows will not start!
Please can somebody assist with this?Which Mini? Is BC drive external or a BC 2nd partition on your internal?
I just installed Vista on my new Mini '09. Used BC to install 80Gb partition, launched Vista installer. When it came drive selection, I did select the BC partition, and selected format option. The installer didn't go to a DOS like selection window, I thought because of only 1 partition available, but now I think that's just Vista, and not having a DOS like installer. Hope this helps. -
Can i install mac osx back again after installing windows 7 on my mac book a1181?
i have apple mac book a1181 white, but i had problem logging on as it was secured by a password, and i allready lost my recovery dvd, so i installed windows 7 on my mac book a1181 by deleting its partition from GTP to NTFS but i experienced problems after installing windows 7 as sound was not comming as i could not find sound drivers for macintosh, so now i plan again to restore my apple macbook a1181 back by reinstalling mac osx 10.5.8, how can i again install mac osx on my notebook and is it possible to re-install mac on my notebook? please give me some help.
Insert your OS X install disc and restart holding the C key, hold it down until you see the Apple logo and spinning gear. Choose your language and at the next screen from the top menu bar select Utilities-Disk Utility. Select your internal hard drive, click on the Partition tab and select 1 partition. Click on the Options button and select GUID partition scheme. Click OK. Choose to format the drive as Mac OS Extended Journaled. When Disk Utility is done and your drive is properly partitioned and formatted quit DU and go back to the installer screen and reinstall OS X. When you're up and running run software update a couple times to get everything up to date as far as you can with 10.5.8. Then consider upgrading to OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard for $19.99 here http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
