Link to download Windows 8 ; for installation in Macbook pro-retina

Hi, I have the Macbook-pro-15 retinal display(2013-haswell). I want to install Windows 8 using BootCamp. But do not know which windows version to install.
In the Microsoft website ; The Windows 8 page says ; "For current Windows 7 user".
Can someone let me know how to download a fresh windows 8 from Microsoft website. Any link Pointing to the page should help me.
Thank you

The Boot Camp assistant created an extra partition, then just stopped. It didn't move forward with installing Windows. Now I have a BOOTCAMP partition and a few options for installing Windows. I have a DVD I burned, and an ISO out on a USB HD formatted for FAT. But I'm not sure how to go about installing Windows now. I did this once before a few years ago but don't remember the steps. I want to install Windows onto the boot camp partition. Would you happen to know how I can proceed?
I tried holding down the Option key upon boot and selecting the Windows DVD but it just hung there on the Apple logo. Only way to boot was to hold Option and select my main HD.

  • How can i get windows drivers for the 2013 MacBook Pro Retina?

    Hi there,
    today I have installed on my late 2013 MBP retina via the Boot Camp Windows 8.1. The installation was smoothly but some drivers are not present including the wifi driver.
    Through online research, I found out that in the current version of Boot Camp no drivers for the 2013 model are listed. Do you have one probably have an idea how to get it to run anyway?

    For feedback from experienced users,  post in the Final Cut Pro X forum here.
    They should be able to offer suggestions for training.

  • I'm trying to download windows 7 support software on macbook pro retina. Problem is, it stops downloading half way.

    I've been trying to download this for a while. When ever I try downloading it stops halfway, but it says it still downloading. I let my computer wait for 9 hours when I slept. It was at the same place it was loading the night before! What do I do? I've tried everything! The flash drive is good. its at and the disk is too. What's wrong?

  • Whats the maximum resolution resolution supported @ 60 Hz on an external display for mid 2014 macbook pro retina 13 inch ?

    whats the maximum resolution supported @ 60 Hz on an external display for mid 2014 macbook pro retina 13 inch ?

    I don't know where you found 1920x1080, but that isn't the max. The INTERNAL display can even support more than that.
    The maximum resolution is really hardware based, and since Thunderbolt 2 has a Mini displayport connector (Mini Displayport 1.2), the max resolution for Mini Displayport is 4k (3840x2160).
    PLEASE NOTE: Not all adapters can support that resolution, most monitors that can run 4k @60Hz have Displayport 1.2 (The most recent revision), Mini Displayport 1.2, and HDMI 2.0. DVI dual link can run 4k, but only 24-30Hz, depending on the monitor.
    Hope this helps!!

  • How do I download Windows 7 into my new MacBook Pro

    How do I install windows 7 to my new MacBook Pro?

    I won't speak to how to obtain Windows 7, which you'll need to purchase or you must have a Key that you've purchased or own. 
    You have two choices to use Windows 7.  First, are the virtual Windows emulator, using Parallels or Fusion (I think those are the only 2 but there might be others).  I never liked them much (nor do I like Windows, but sometimes you've got to use them).  They are slow and memory hogs, so you need a ton of memory to use them (8GB good, 16GB better).  But you can use Windows and easily move over to OSX because Windows is in an OSX window.  Easy. 
    We're not going to tell you how to install Windows 7 with those emulators, there are forums for them at the company website.  It's not easy, but it's not terribly difficult.
    VMware Fusion: Run Windows on Mac for Desktop Virtualization
    Parallels Desktop 7 for Mac
    Your other choice, which is better and free, is Boot Camp.  Boot Camp runs Windows natively, no emulator.  But, you don't have access to Mac OSX unless you log out of Boot Camp.  Again, this isn't the place to learn about it, go to the Boot Camp forum for more details.

  • What is the best keyboard case for the 15" Macbook Pro Retina?

    I currently just bought the new 15" Macbook Pro Retina display to replace my old 2007 Macbook 13" however I am reluctant to use it until I find a keyboard cover.  I have read many forums already and tried the Moshi keyboard cover (which didn't fit well at all) however I still cannot decide which keyboard cover to use.  So far I have found two keyboard covers that look O.K. any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated.
    Here are the links I have found

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/BLACK-Silicone-Keyboard-Cover-Skin-for-Macbook-Pro-15-wi th-Retina-Display-/190691543540

    You mean a keyboard cover.

    noun
    a container designed to hold or protect something
    • the outer protective covering of a natural or manufactured object : a seed case.

  • What cases are good for the new macbook pro retina display 15"

    What folio cases are out there that don't damage the new macbook pro retina display 15" I keep looking but can't find any, they all seem to have serious negative reviews

    be specific,  hard case or CARRY CASE?
    hard cases are not recommended, trap in dust and junk and trap heat
    A great carry case, and best made for the money are those made by INCASE as seen in Apple stores and amazon.com

  • Windows 7 RC installation on MacBook Pro: 'DVD drive device driver missing'

    I'm trying to install the Windows 7 RC on my unibody MacBook Pro (purchased november 2008). I create the partition in Boot Camp, insert the install DVD, and restart the system. Then the Windows setup starts as it's supposed to (Windows is loading files). The install program launches fine, and I get to choose language settings.
    And now it all fails. After I've chosen language settings, I get the message: "A required CD(DVD drive device driver is missing. If you have a driver floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB flash drive, please insert it now."
    Screenshot of the message: http://img25.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dsc00102yyh.jpg
    I'm kinda baffled by this message. Obviously the drive can be use by the install program, but it still complains of a missing driver. I had no trouble installing the Windows 7 beta earlier this year.
    I've done some googling, and it appears to be problem experienced by some others. Someone had the issue on an Asus machine (I think), and the solution was to download the driver and out it on a USB stick. But I can't seem to find the driver for the MBP DVD drive anywhere.
    Has anyone else experienced this issue?

    After countless days trying to solve this problem, I feel I can now add to the few solutions presented on the various forums of the internet. I'll post here because 1: i'm a mac user for everyday life although like most have as many pc's as well. 2: I already have a login for these forums!
    okay so i tried everything from re-burns to usb install (which I could not complete because removable drives are not recognized by xp and I don't have a vista system). The problem for me ended up being because the DVD drive was plugged into the primary master ide channel. My hard drive for the unit i was installing windows on is sata and was configured as such (not bridged into IDE channel by bios). So in a nutshell it seems like the hard drive and the DVD drive are nit picky in regards to the IDE configuration of the drives themselves. This won't help for virtualization on a mac pro I realize but nonetheless is food for thought hopefully for all the people searching for " windows 7 install cd/dvd device driver missing " in their search engine!

  • Where can i download Os Lion for my new macbook pro

    Hi,
    i have just purchased a new macbook pro but it has snow leopard installed. The genius`s said i can download lion for free from apple.. any body know the link for this. ??
    regards
    Keith

    Of course, just going to the App Store will require that he buy it, and going to the Apple website does not provide anywhere for downloading Lion.  No offense, but you should avoid giving advice if you don't actually know if your advice works.
    Keith, see the following page to get a code that will allow you to obtain Lion for free:

  • Can I run windows xp on a new macbook pro retina display?

    I would like to know if it is possible to downgrade boot camp in order to run windows xp on the brand new macbook pro.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    The hardware of your MacBook is just not compatible with Windows XP. You won't find any computer with the specs of your Mac running Windows XP, and Apple doesn't provide Boot Camp drivers for Windows XP in your MacBook.
    Instead, what you can do is to install Windows XP on a virtual machine created with Parallels, VMware Fusion or VirtualBox. As your MacBook Pro is very powerful, you won't notice any performance difference between Boot Camp and the virtual machine unless you need Windows for things that require a good graphic card. In this case, consider the option of installing a 64-bit Windows 7 or Windows 8 version by using Boot Camp > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5634

  • Firefox window UI is tiny on MacBook Pro retina screen

    I have Firefox 33.1.1 installed on a 13" MacBook Pro with retina display, and the UI is always tiny when viewing on the in-buillt retina screen. I often have the MacBook plugged into an additional 27" Dell display and firefox looks fine on this display, but when moving the same window on to the retina screen, it redraws like the attached screenshot. If I don't have the external display plugged in at all, and open Firefox after a restart, the same issue still occurs.
    Example screenshot is uploaded here: http://imgur.com/WpCIMGN

    There are two things that can be tried:
    # Reset the zoom feature from the Firefox Menu (Ctrl+0 (that is a zero) should reset it, )
    * To make things bigger, press '''Ctrl''' and '''&#43''' at the same time.
    * To make things smaller, press '''Ctrl''' and '''-''' at the same time.
    * To reset the size back to normal, press '''Ctrl''' and '''0''' at the same time.
    # Do you clear the cache on quit? If so the zoom percentage may not be saved because it is only remembered for the current session.
    Also make sure that its not an add on, by starting Firefox in Safe Mode [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]

  • Bug/No full support for GLUT on macbook pro retina

    Hi,
    We have a software that makes use of GLUT, the openGL utility library. This is multiplatform so it conveniently let's our software compile to many platforms. We are now thinking of compiling it for macs but there seems to be some bug in the OSX implementation of GLUT. Rendering to 1 pixel in our rendering context shows up as 4 pixels. Why is this the case? This will make the graphics look horrible on an otherwise superb screen. Is there some way to get around this?
    Cheers,
    Petter
