Locks up on google, yahoo mail, running windows 7 on imac with bootcamp

I'm running windows 7 on an imac with bootcamp. When I go to google or yahoo mail, I never seem to land. It seems to lock up. The links aren't active nor are the back buttons. When I close it, out it doesn't shut down, so I have to shut it down in task manager.

You can
Select CD-ROM Boot prompt
You just can't boot from the DVD without extra steps.
Apple uses UEFI on those Macs that are "blessed" as being compatible, and yours and mine have older 2005 era EFI32 that won't.
We also are stuck with 1.9GB usable RAM in 32-bit Vista/7 also, another blow.
And no firmware update to Unified EFI 2.x to make us "compatible." Has not stopped 1000s from doing so though.

  • When I try to install Windows on iMac with Bootcamp I get this message,"Can't install the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server."

    I try to get Windows 7 on my iMac 21.5-inch but on the Bootcamp Assistant I get this message,"Can't install the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server." Please help me and thank you.

    I have that problem too.  There's many other discussion threads as well.  Either Apple doesn't realize they have a problem, or they do and simply don't care.  Either way, not good.
    There is a workaround that I'm going to try next.  Go to this webpage:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634
    Scroll down to the middle of the webpage.  Hit "Expand All".  Now, search the webpage for the Apple product name of your computer.  It should be something like "MacBook Pro, 17-inch, Early 2008".  If you're unsure what you have, open "About This Mac" (upper left corner of your screen, Apple menu), and hit "More Info".
    Now that you've found your computer, read across the table, to the version of Windows that you want to install (32-bit or 64-bit).  Hopefully you'll find a "4" or "5" there.  Click on that number, to go to the download page for the drivers that you need.  If you just see an empty box there, then you're out of luck....
    Hopefully there will be drivers.  Download those, unzip, and then copy to a USB stick that has been formatted for MS-DOS FAT (or FAT32).  Use Disk Utility to format your USB stick if necessary.  Now, you have the drivers you should have gotten from the Boot Camp Assistant download.  You should then be able to go back to Boot Camp Assistant and follow the instructions from there.
    Hope it works!

  • Running windows 8.1 through bootcamp

    Hi guys, ive been having some issues with running windows 8.1 on bootcamp and i'd really appreciate some help.
         I'm using a 13" Macbook Pro with retina display and, because of the lack of a disk drive, i had to use a usb drive to install windows. I had some trouble retrieving the iso file and so ended up starting the installation process on a pc and choosing the option to install through usb drive to get the usb set up (i'm not sure if this has any relevance but i figured it wouldn't hurt to mention that i didn't use the method of preparing the usb drive though bootcamp with the iso file). The process afterward went smoothly enough until bootcamp reset my computer and restarted using the "Windows" driver. When my computer had completely rebooted i was me with "non-syster error" and a prompt telling me to press any key which was unresponsive. I restarted my computer while holding option and instead chose "efi boot." This brought me to the windows setup but the window was extremely small (also not sure if this has any relevance). I continued with the setup and was met with another problem when I had to choose the drive/partition. I chose drive 0 partition 4:Bootcamp but it didn't allow me to continue. I chose the "more details" option and it said that it needed to be formatted to ntfs. However, when i was back to the mac os after giving up, i checked disk utility and the drive was formatted with ntfs. So i'm sort of out of ideas, i've seen and read about other methods but, i case they are mentioned here, i dont have access to windows seven and i would like to avoid using other programs. I would appreciate if someone would let me know if there is a way to solve this problem and what that is, or let me know if there is no way so that i dont have to keep looking and just wait for apple to solve whatever issues botcamp has.
    Thanks for any response
    Also, i'm not sure if this matters but, when asked in bootcamp what size i wanted the windows driver to be, i chose the minimum (20 GB).

    thanks, that was exactly what i was looking for, i just wanted to know whether or not i should bother trying to get it installed now or just wait. Do you, by any chance know around what time 8.1 will be supported? If not, thanks anyway, and youve been a big help. no more hours of confusion and searching for possible solutions.

    is there any way how i can download and run Window based games, with out installing Windows-thus Bootcamp? and if so, is it free?

    No, you must install Windows to run Windows software. You do not need to use Boot Camp (yes, it's free because it comes with OS X.)
    Windows on Intel Macs
    There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
    Install the Apple Boot Camp software.  Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7.  Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows.  Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
    Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows.  The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
    VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.  It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
    Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc.  There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization.  The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
    You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

    I have just changed over from a computer that was 11 years old, running Windows 98, to a new computer running Windows XP. With my old computer I could easily download video clips, they would open and play as soon as the download had ended. Now I have to click on the download box and click on "Play". Also, when I wanted to keep a clip, I just right clicked and a menu appeared and I would then click on "Save as" or similar. Now there doesn't appear to be any way to save the clips. Apart from a faster and more powerful computer I feel I've gone backwards. Can anyone help?

    Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
    This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

    Read and follow the Bootcamp Installation instructions that you were offered to view when you ran Bootcamp Assistant.
    Run Bootcamp Assistant again and select the option to download the Bootcamp Support software. Follow the instructions. Then boot into Windows and install the Windows Support software you downloaded and saved.

  • Can I install Windows XP SP1 with Bootcamp on my new Mac Mini 2011 i7 ?

    Can I install Windows XP SP1 with Bootcamp on my new Mac Mini 2011 i7 ?

    Baiscally if your Mini came with Lion Pre-installed new then No you can't use XP.
    The Lion installed computers no longer support XP OR Vista via Apple's Boot Camp.
    For one thing Apple only supported XP with SP2 in order to install it on pre Lion computers.
    If the Mini had come pre-installed new with say 10.6 then you could have installed XP and still of been able to upgrade to Lion without any issues as you already have the drivers for XP installed. Lion only has the drivers for W7.

  • How to eliminate windows partition created with bootcamp

    Instrucdtions for how to eliminate a windows partition created with bootcamp.  thanks

    Go back and reread and open the application you used.
    though most Mac Pro owners choose to dedicate a drive to Windows.
    Even Disk Utility will remove and then stretch the adjoining partiton it is best to use Boot Camp Assistant.
    Best place to ask, Boot Camp forum, of course.

    As your MBP has an optical drive you must install from a disc, not an iso on a stick. The previous advice is incorrect.
    Purchase the version of Windows you want on a disk. If you already bought an iso burn it to a disc.

    Will Windows Vista work with Bootcamp 3.0.4 (325)?  the documentation says that I need a Win 7 installation disc.  I don't want windows 7; I want Windows Vista.

    You don't provide any info regarding your computer but Vista is not supported by the newer Apple computers: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4410
    You could use a VM like Parallels, Fusion, or VirtualBox to install Vista.

    IMac with bootcamp and parallel boots into windows 7 but won't boot into Mac OS lion?

    Hi,
    Thanks for your suggestion. Actually that was not the problem, because I had the Mcintosh drive set as my boot drive. The answer was that my Lion Os got somehow corrupted and I had to reinstalll Lion. This was all after I discussed the situation with the Apple Support people.
