Is windows 8 already supported in OSX lion bootcamp?

is windows 8 already supported in OSX lion bootcamp?

No. But that only means it is a little harder and a few issues to work around. No one knows when but it could happen when 8 is posted to buy 10/25/2012, or after. And it may be that they somehow figure whether to provide for Lion or only ML.
Odd concept as to what Macs support Windows 8 but are not supported by 10.8.

If I remember right there "may" be a problem if you have a proxie settings enabled.
System Preferences/ Network/ Advanced/ Proxies. Can't remember which one or if it was an issue in 10.7 or 10.6. Just make sure their all unchecked and try again.
You might try a search in these forums for more information. Different fix's for different issue's.
Sorry I can't help more.........

Problems with GUID partition table and/or Boot Camp usually require a full reformat of the drive. All data on the drive willl be lost.
Backup your user files and folders manually (drag and drop) from all partitions/OS's installed to a external powered drive and disconnect this drive, before proceeding with any OS upgrade.
Create a bootable disk.
BackupLion Bootable 10.7 Disk
Purchaseand download Lion from the Mac App Store on any Lion compatible Macrunning Snow Leopard.
Right click on “Mac OS X Lion”     installer and choose the option to “Show Package Contents.”
Inside the Contents folder that     appears you will find a SharedSupport folder and inside the     SharedSupport folder you will find the “InstallESD.dmg.” This is     the Lion boot disc image we have all been waiting for.
Copy “InstallESD.dmg” to     another folder like the Desktop.
Launch Disk Utility and click the     burn button.
Select the copied “InstallESD.dmg” as the image to burn,     insert a standard sized 4.7 GB DVD, and wait for your new Lion Boot     Disc to come out toasty hot.
With this disc you can boot any Lion compatible Mac, and install10.7 just like you installed previous version of Mac OS X. You can even use Disk Utility's Restore function to image your Lion boot disc image onto a external drive suitable for performing a clean install on a optical-drive-less MacBook Air, or Mac mini server.

If you can't do any of this. Just hold off upgrading and let a computer support person help you.

Urdu Support: Does OSX Lion support Finder/Mail/System Menus in Urdu?

Hello,
I have been trying to customize OSX Lion for a while, and while I find that it supports Urdu natively, there are a few hiccups:
I have set my System language to Urdu (Using the Languages & Text option in System Prefs)
I have set my Keyboard layout to Arabic (as the keyboard supports Arabic better, and they're closely related in script)
However, I have noticed that the System menus, Finder, Mail, etc are all still in English. Urdu is set as the only language, and English and other languages have all been disabled from System Prefs, and yet, the menus are all displayed in English only.
However, if I set Arabic as the first language, then all menus and even applications (an their respective menus) display in Arabic. I am beginning to believe that OSX Lion only partly supports Urdu. Is this true?

Yes, there is not yet any Urdu localization of the OS menus and dialogues. Those languages for which this exists are listed directly in the published specs:
http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
Since Lion does provide a keyboard for Urdu, I would be interested in the details about why you prefer to use the Arabic one instead.

Recommendations for running Windows on Macbook with OSX Lion version 10.7.2?

I Just bought a new MacBook Pro, running Lion, version 10.7.2. I am looking to run some windows applications on my mac, including AutoCAD, etc. I would ideally like to install bootcamp on my MacBook, but from what i understand, Lion is only compatible with Windows 7... I have Windows XP and VMWARE Fusion that I had run on my previous MacBook, however, I am unable to install VMWARE Fusion on my new MacBook (Lion). Any recommendations for running higher-profile windows apps on a mac without having to purchase Windows7 or a new version of VMWARE? Thanks

Newer computer = newer drivers and apps. You can only run Windows 7 using Boot Camp Assistant with the newer computers. Or, you can download and install Parallels or Fusion (the most current versions work in Lion). If using Parallels or Fusion you can install XP, Vista, Windows 7, etc.
Or, you could try the free VirtualBox.

HT1461 can i install windows xp on OS X Lion bootcamp?

I read somewhere that Windows 7 can only install of OS X Lion. I have very limited knowledge on Mac OS. Is that mean Windows XP can't be installed on OS X Lion?

CardDAV Address Book Accounts Finally Supported in OSX Lion 10.7?

There are several issues with CardDAV Address Book accounts in Snow Leopard 10.6 that still have not been addressed:
You can move all of your contacts to your CardDAV account except your Me card. It has to stay local
Numerous applications do not have an established API available to access the CardDAV account (e.g. Skype, LaunchBar)
You can create contact groups in your CardDAV account, but you can't edit the distribution list. Mac Mail, for instance, will use the first email address for contacts with multiple email addresses and you can't change it
It seems that development was only taken so far and then deferred. So I'm wondering, for those who have installed a beta version of Mac Lion and have hooked up a CardDAV account, are these issues resolved?
I realize this is a small subset of people, but I thought I'd check and see anyway.
Thanks

Oh, I didn't realize that, but I guess that's similar to the restrictions with other Apple products.
I have read some reviews on LifeHacker already so I had incorrectly assumed it was fair game.
Anyway, thanks for letting me know.

Bootcamp utility in OSX Lion tries to format my Drive when i only want to download the support software for my existing install...

So i have a bit of a problem...
im using a Mid 2009 13 Inch Macbook Pro in dualboot.
Im running OSX Lion and Windows 8 Consumer Preview in dual boot, no problems...
However i only have bootcamp 3.x software on my Windows install and i want to install 4.x ...
i know that to get the 4.x software i have to use the Bootcamp utility in Lion to download it, here is where the problem is...
i run the utility and check the box next to download support software and uncheck the rest (i dont want to format my install or remove it) and im prompted for a save location, which i set to my desktop (because i can read it from windows). it then informs me that its trying to format my Drive... My System drive!? all i want is the software, nothing else...
is there a way i can download it directly? such as i direct link to the software from the servers?

Read carefully. You have to download the software to a FAT32 formatted USB flash or hard drive.

I already partitioned my hdd via Bootcamp, supports downloaded, and windows is on an external USB. How can I start installing Windows now? at startup it doesnt show up as bootable device...

hi,
I am having a problem installing windows via bootcamp.
I already partitioned my hdd via Bootcamp, downloaded and copied all the supports for windows, and windows is on an external USB as well. I had to stop the process the other day, so i shut down the computer. Now I am trying to boot from the USB, but I cant get to that point where the computer should restart and windows would start installing.
. After restarting, holding command, it doesnt show up as bootable device.
How shall I move forward? My disk is already partitioned, and if i start the whole process from the beginning, it wants me to partition again - although I already made a 100GB partition for windows.
Please help me out.
best,
Zoltan

So, here is what happened when I tried to make it.(sorry for quality, i had to take them by phone)
At first when I opened it I saw that I could simply resolve it just by stretching the arrow at the bottom, giving the 100 GB back which I partitioned before via Bootcamp. At this point options was not available.
I didnt do it because you mentioned earlier that it might be not designed to install windows.
The second thing I tried I choose 1 Partition from Partition Layout. This time Options were available but I didnt see anything like GPT, the onces that are optionable are on the screenshot.
What do you think how shall I move on? I was thinking to give it a shot with option 1, just stretch it back and try everything from scratch.

Error 0xc00000e9 when installing windows 7 on OSX lion

I have a mid 2011 model of macbook pro i7 15 inch , and i just upgraded to OSX lion from os leopard . I tried to install windows 7 via bootcamp 4.0 , and the download for the windows support software always hangs at mid point , and must retry several times before it completes. After which when starting to install windows 7 , at the screen where it says loading windows file , suddenly there is an error of 0xc00000e9 , and i could not continue to install after which , even though i have removed all USB. Is there any way to solve this or do i have to downgrade to bootcamp 3.0 to install the windows 7.
Thanks

No downgrade, what you need to do is head to Bootcamp and delete the Bootcamp partition
Then head to Disk Utility and Erase Free Space with Zero. this will take some time and write zeros' to all your spare space on the drive, it also reads those zeros back to confirm and when it can't do that the driver software will map off the problem sector on your drive.
Once that's finished, use the Bootcamp software again and Windows should install.
You should learn about Carbon Copy Cloner and WinClone so you can restore OS X or Windows
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3045
also read this, if your not going to be using Windows heavily or for 3D games, then this might be a better solution that dual booting.

I have recently installed the new OSX Lion on my 2009 MacBook. Now I cannot get access to my Windows-Partition, which is on the harddisk. I cannot choose to boot from LION OSX or Windows. Who can help?

I have recently upgraded my MacBook to OSX Lion. Now I cannot get access to my windows-partition. I cannot choose booting from OSX Lion or Windows. Who can help???

I believe that Lion and Mountian Lion use BootCamp 4.0 and earlier versions used 3.0. I don't use BootCamp but from reading The link below you need to get new drivers, burn a cd and install. Check out #20 on this page.

OSX Lion won't boot after Bootcamp installation interrupted

Hello, I started a Bootcamp installation on my OSX Lion Mac Pro. Once I realized that I could only use Windows 7, I had to hold off on the installation until I located my Windows 7 disk. I had set the Bootcamp partition size to 100 GB on a 500 GB Drive. Due to threatning weather, I shutdown the computer.
Now the OSX Lion does not boot! I have been reading much information on this topic to see about fixing the problem. I talked to Apple Support and so far it is still not working. I was able to boot using the recovery partition "Disk Utility -> First Aid -> Repair Disk". When I ran Repair Disk there were some errors reported and repaired, then OSX still not booting. I installed Lion on another drive using recovery and that works OK. I was hoping to install Lion on the original drive and still not disturb my data files like music, photos, etc. That volume with OSX is greyed out and does not mount. I am thinking that the GPT had been modified and since Windows was not installed on Bootcamp, there is no way to boot on the original drive /dev/disk2. I read about a backup GPT, so I am wondering if I can use the backup GPT to fix the boot problem.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
David

Thanks for the fast reply. Ill try this again. Did this the first time, but wouldn't boot again. I've since done a,fresh install of Lion, and it created the proper recovery partition. I didn't have this before, because I cloned my old drive, when I upgraded to an SSD drive. Didn't know about the recover partition. Ill try again, and see if I can get it to work.
Just need to figure out the driver situation, with my Nvidia Quadro Mac video. Not worth trying again, if I have to use default generic video drivers.

Problems with Boot Camp, OSX Lion Server 10.7.3, and Windows 7

My new Mac Mini Server is running OSX Lion Server 10.7.3. I want to install Windows 7 as a dual boot. I start up Boot Camp and use an ISO image to create a USB boot disk. I don't seem to be able to use the DVD to install, so I use an ISO image on disk. I continue with the Boot Camp installation, with all three options on the main screen checked. When I get to the part where I have to pick a partition on which to install, the only one I can select, and must format, is the partition labeled BOOTCAMP. But the Boot Camp support software Windows is installed there. I can continue with the Windows installation, and boot into Windows 7 with no problem. But since the Boot Camp drivers were wiped out, I cannot connect to the network, etc. I don't have a Boot Camp control panel either.I did this once before on my other Mac Mini Server I have, running the same OSX Lion Server 10.7.3, and it worked without a problem. I'm writing this message on that copy of Windows. But this new install just will not work, after two days of trying. I *must* get this working. I'm stumped.
CAN ANYONE HELP ??? TIA !!!!

First, this is re-post of your other thread.
Your driverrs were not and will not be "wiped out."
Run Boot Camp Assistant. Download the drivers
Your profile says Lion so that will let you store drivers on flash memory card.
They are never placed where Boot Camp created a partition.
