is boot camp the answer to run scottrader streaming quotes?

Bootcamp will allow you to run an installation of Windows that is independent from MacOsx.  When booting int windows, MacOsx will not be available and you would need to reboot the computer each time you want to switch operating systems.
So unless you plan on spending a lot of time in windows, I'd say no, not really.
Perhaps Winebottler or even Parallels may be a better choice.

However seeing as its perfectly compatible with a Mac, its totally unnecessary to run Windows.

    I use e-trade and a couple of times, years back, I found them behind the Java updates.
    So, now I install new Java platforms on my backup disk and test the streaming data on that first because I know it will be over-written that evening with my nightly backup.
    Of course, since I began doing that there hasn't been a problem. Do the same with printer driver updates.
    Anyway, call ScottTrade and howl! Tell them how many Macs are out there and why aren't they in Apple Developers Program?

    I have installed Windows 7 into my Macbook Pro 15 inch with Lions as operating system.  (current model with 2.2 GHz i7 processor, 500 GB HD ad 5400 rpm).  When I started with boot camp, the system promped me to create a disc, which I presume is for the drivers for windows 7.  Now windows is intalled.  What do I do with the CD that the system created for me?  Also, why does the system automatically start in Win7 instead of Lion.  I need to pression the option key to have it start in OS X.  I thought it was supposed to be the opposite.

    Insert it while you are in Windows, if it does not autostart run setup.exe.
    Choose your startup disk using Apple>System Preferences>Startup Disk (in OSX) or Control Panel>Boot Camp>Startup Disk (in Windows)

    I have the same problem, they never told me that, just that the newest version of Java "locks" up streaming quotes.

  • I started Boot Camp on a MAC mini but then  had a power failure after 30 secs :( Now when I start Boot Camp the option to install Windows 7 is gone.  In it's place is Remove Windows 7.  It seems to hang at Partitioning disk  Can I recover?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    That's because the Boot Camp volume was created, but your Mac hasn't been set up to start automatically from the Windows disc. Insert the Windows DVD and press C key while your Mac is starting to start Windows installation.
    If you want to make sure that everything is correct, open Boot Camp Assistant and choose the option to remove Windows 7. Then, open that application again, select the option to install Windows 7 and you will be able to install Windows as usual

  • If I want to run OSX Server and also want to run Windows 8 on Boot Camp, will server still run when I boot into windows?

    I want to set up OSX Server on my iMAC running Mavericks and also install Windows 8 on Boot Camp.  If I do this and boot into Windows, will that prevent server from running while I'm in Windows?

    No.  Bootcamp, as you've described, requires rebooting into your chosen operating system.  If you want to run both OS X and Windows at the same time from your hardware, look at virtualization tools like Parrallels or VMWare.

  • Boot Camp or Parrarels to Run Microsoft SQL Server in MBP

    Hi i have this question for you all mac expert here.
    I'm a switcher , My MBP is my first apple product that i buy (except of few ipods of course :P ) ,
    Anyway i really glad that i made the switch, everything is simple and easy to learn especially with mac user forum like this, every problem that i met are solved easilly (except the part taht i still can't figuree out how to use iphoto :P )
    Anyway i use my MBP mainly at home for surfing the net, keeping photos and music, and editing photos and videos.
    However i'm gonna set up a bussines now , and it uses Microsoft SQL Server for the stock data and finance accounting, my bussines is quite small, and the network consist of 1 Win XP PC at warehouse , 1 Win XP PC at cashier, 1 Wirelles router to connect all of the computer to a network harddrive where the data for the microsoft SQL server is stored.
    However I need another Win XP PC/notebook in my office to connect to the network, but since i have my MBP, i think "why should i buy another WinXP PC/notebook?"
    Okay so i searched the forums about WIn XP on MAc, and found Boot Camp and Parrarels, but i still can't decide which one to use or better for my needs.
    my needs is simply to run the **** Microsoft SQL Server on my MBP and connect it to the rest of the network.
    I read some post before that the parrarels didn't support networking yet, is that true ?
    If that;s true, that's mean i shoud go for boot camp instead, but i don't like the idea that i must restart my MBP to get to WinXP , and that's also mean that about 8 hours a day i'll fix my eyes to that ugly interface again
    can anyone give me any solutions?
    First of all Thank you very much.
    and sorry for my broken english :P

    Since your software is custom made I won't be able to tell you what you'll need on your system. However, the purpose of having a database on a network is so that multiple computers can access the same database. That's what SQL Server does; it stores and shares the one database to other computers on the network. A "front end" application such as Microsoft Access or even a web browser is typically used to connect to the SQL Server.
    I suspect that what you're calling SQL Server is actually just the front end application, which is why I was confused.
    Regardless, if you'll be using your MBP to connect across the network to the database then you'll be fine using either Boot Camp or Parallels. I would recommend Parallels simply because it is currently supported (Apple is not yet officially supporting Boot Camp) and Boot Camp only allows you to run Windows or Mac OS X one at a time. Parallels is worth the price for the capability of using both systems at once.
    Keep in mind that you'll have to purchase a copy of Windows for your MBP as well.
    Hope this helps! bill

  • Boot camp assistant won't run - says must update boot ROM.

    Just updated my mid-2010 13" MacBook Pro to ML 10.8.2.  When trying to run boot camp assistant, I get the following:

    Anyone have the answer to this problem?

  • Wanting to remove bootcamp but Boot Camp Assistant won't run

    I open Boot Camp Assistant on OS X Mavericks on my Early 2011 15" MacBook Pro and and it says that I need to update my boot ROM firmware before using the assistant. However, I am already running MBP81.0047.B27 which is the current one to my knowledge. What needs to be done then to remove my partition? Everything I have read says that Disk Utility is not the way to go.

    Have you run Software update to see if there is a firmware update?

    Did you download and install the Bootcamp Windows Support software according to the Bootcamp Installation Guides? http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
    There is a Bootcamp Forum here. https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp
    You should ask Bootcamp questions there. The moderators may move this thread to the Bootcamp Forum.

  • Boot Camp "The installer disc could not be found"

    Hi,
    So i'm attempting to load win7 onto my MAC. Thus far i have downloaded the .iso image off MSDN (throught my university, for all intents and purposes should be as legitimate as an off the shelf copy)  and burned it to DVD as a bootable disc image. however for some reason when using Boot Camp im told "The installer disc could not be found"
    There is data on the disc however when i go into the disc via finder it appears empty (no icons)... even though it is not (get info > xyzMB used)...
    I know most people use parallels etc but if anyone has successfully accomplished a win7 install and knows where im going wrong it would be greatly appreciated... thanks

    on windows its easier you can just download the microsoft iso tool or use pendrive linux to create the bootable usb from the iso (downloaded from msdnaa)
    Your comment is uncalled for. And you give the wrong info on installiing Win 7 on a Macbook Pro in a Boot Camp Partition.
    It can only be installed from a DVD drive installed internally in the system. Apple has limited the installation of Windows 7 from only that drive. Can't install from USB thumb or DVD drive connected by USB port.

  • Boot Camp: The Disk Cannot Be Partitioned Cause Some Files Can't Be Moved?

    I'm ready to add Vista to my Macbook so opened up boot Camp and set aside GB's for the mac to partition them...it does it for about 10 min then I get this:

  • Boot Camp - The disk cannot be partition

    Appreciate if someone advise how I can overcome this problem. I have installed the parallel desktop for Mac when I bought the IMAC. I have also later installed the Leopard. Recently, I was told that Parallel can't support any PC game with Direct X version 9 above and the suggested solution is to use boot camp to install XP window as this will allow direct access to 3D card. I have uninstalled the parallel and try to used the Boot Camp assistant to install XP. My 1st problem is it give the following error "The disk cannot be partitioned because some files cannot be moved". Boot Camp assistant suggest the following"Backup the disk and use Disk Utility to format it as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume. Restore your information to the disk and try using Boot camp Assistant again". I bring the Disk Utility and to be honest I have no clues what I need to do (as I am new to Mac operating system. Can someone tell me exactly what I need to do in Disk Utility. I am also think of reformat the whole harddrive and fresh anew however I would take the easier approach if someone care to share his/her experience.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I never used Bootcamp because it was just too confusing to use.
    I have done 3 partitions in which one was for Leopard, another for shared data, and the last for Vista.
    If you would like to do the same, then you would have to reinstall your OS X. Here is how I made 3 partitions.
    1) I inserted the OS X disk during startup and went to Disk Utility.
    2) I then had to erase my hard drive...which erased Leopard.
    3) Once it was erased, I made 3 partitions in this order (with the 160gb hard drive)
    *1st Partition - +HFS Extended Journal - 60gb - Leopard
    *2nd Partition - FAT32 - 30gb - Shared Data
    *3rd Partition - FAT32 - 60gb - Vista 'MAKE SURE YOU NAME IT WINDOWS/VISTA/WHAT EVER YOU WANT THE NAME TO BE' & THAT WINDOWS WILL BE ON THE LAST PARTITION THAT YOU MAKE
    4) Re-install OS X back into the 1st Partition
    Once your OS X is installed, now you can install Windows.
    5) To install Windows, insert your Windows installation cd during startup and hold down the option key when you hear the chime sound.
    7) When you see the Windows installation cd, click on it
    8) Now since you partitioned your hard drive and had a FAT32 partition for Windows, you will have to format to NFTS. MAKE SURE THAT IT IS THE PARTITION THAT YOU MADE FOR WINDOWS--the one that you named!!!
    9) Now you can install Windows
    10) When Windows is installed, you can now install the Boot Camp Drivers.
    BUT if you do not want to have a Partition for shared data, just skip that part so that you will have only 2 partitions.
    Sorry if this was confusing.
    Hope this helps...if you were interested
