Macbook pro and Bootcamp for Windows 7 32bit

looking for advice re setting up Bootcamp with Windows 7 on my new Macbook Pro 13".  Anything to be aware of???
Cheers

32-bit only uses 3.5 GB RAM max.
Home 64-bit uses at most 16 GB RAM.
Pro 64-bit uses at most 192 GB RAM.
2011 Macbook Pro can handle 16 GB RAM, and iMacs can handle 32 GB RAM.
If you want to be "future proofed", buy 64-bit Pro.
Unless you have already purchased 32-bit and do not want to lose the money invested.

  • Im completely new to Mac. Im swapping my windows laptop for macbook pro and looking for network storage solution which the Time Capsule seems to do. Is it possible to use this as NAS for my desktop Windows PC - windows 7

    Im completely new to Mac. Im swapping my windows laptop for macbook pro and looking for network storage solution which the Time Capsule seems to do. Is it possible to use this as NAS for my desktop Windows PC - windows 7

    Broadly speaking I want some sort of network storage( wireless or through my existing wifi router) that I can access files for both my windows PC and Macbook and also to access files to my iPad/ iPhone. Some sort of backup and sychronisation so that I can access certain files remotely.
    Buy a real NAS.. synology or QNAP are the standard... although companies like Netgear and Western Digital and Seagate make them as well.
    There is no problem sharing between Mac and PC now.. you do not even need a NAS to do that.. you simply share the hard disk directly. Mac talk SMB.. everything talks SMB nowadays.. so it is easy.
    ipad and iphone are not designed to use NAS.. they are designed to backup only to the cloud or itunes.. but you can load an app like file browser if you want.

    Remote access to the Apple TC is somewhere between difficult, to impossible from a PC.. Apple use BTMM and iCloud but the service is not offered to PC.
    A real NAS will offer HTTPS or SFTP or several other methods.. that both Mac and PC can use.
    You simply plug it into the current wireless router.. it is a network device and assessable over the network. It is not necessary to buy another router.. in fact that is a waste.

  • How can I have one thing open in Safari on my MacBook Pro and search for another thing in Safari without closing out of the other? For instance, How can I leave Pandora playing while I search Facebook?

    With Safari open use the Command + T keyboard shortcut to open a new tab.
    Or, Command + N to open a new window.

    As Bob says, any iMap service can do this. GMail can, iCLoud mail can too.
    Both of these can be used with Mail on any device.

  • Sharing folders between MacBook Pro and workgroup in windows 7

    In September 2013 I was able to share folders between a MacBook Pro and 2 Windows 7 computers where all 3 computers belonged to the same workgroup.
    Leelannee Cochran (at that time an Apple Level 3 support person) was satisfied with how I did it and I understood her to say that it would be "memorialized" by Apple.
    I had a lightening incident where my cable modem was fried and had to be replaced.  Now, I am not able to share the files in the MacBook Pro
    Would someone tell me how to share files - unfortunately, I had not kept the notes

    Thank you Team ZigZag
    I have had 3 different vendors where I had to go to "higher" level support.  The most recent occasion was with my router where I overheard the "supervisor" tell the 1st level tech support person "there is no way that the router will work with a workgroup. 
    I pleaded that it had done so before I had to replace my cable modem.  Finally, I was able to share files between two windows 7 computers in the same workgroup and wrote to the manufacturer that I had done so, the reply was that they
    are not responsible for 3rd party vendors!
    As I mentioned, I was able to work my way to Leelannee Cochran who was a 3rd level support person at Apple, and she too was, initially, very skeptical and when I succeeded she offered to memorialize what I had done.  I had to use my methods to
    re-establish the MacBook on several occasions as a "sharing" member of the workgroup.  I probably have lost my nerve and therefore am unable to recall exactly what I did
    I found that  a third vendor, despite the claim that their product would work with Mac OS the higher level support person was using me as a "resource"  but my problem was that my computer kept crashing!
    Trust me, frontline (1st Level) tech support are normally very competent but  it is not easy to reach higher level tech support persons when their expertise runs out and are reluctant to call for higher level support!
    I have had similar nightmares with support and that why I volunteer here and elsewhere.  I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemies.  I have found persistence is the key.  I have, in the middle of a level 1 call where they said there was nothing
    they could do and there was no supervisor aound, hung up and immediately redialed and wonder of wonder got the supervisor within 5 mins.
    Good Sleuthing on your part

  • MacBook Pro keyboard drivers for Windows 7 guest under Snow Leopard

    I am running Snow Leopard along with Vmware Fusion 3.1. MY guest machine is 64bit Windows 7 (I have tried 32 bit but have the same problem)I am unable to change the keyboard in Windows to anything other than 'Standard PS2' so the key mapping is hopeless. I have installed the bootcamp keyboard drivers but can't find them on the system anywhere. All I really want is a .inf file for Windows 7!!!
    Any suggestions gratefully received!!

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    The Snow Leopard disc that came with the computer has got Boot Camp 3 drivers, and the latest drivers for your Mid 2009 MacBook Pro are Boot Camp 4. As you are using OS X Lion, you can download them from Boot Camp Assistant or from the Support page > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1630

  • MacBook Pro and Bootcamp

    Hi;
    I am thinking of buying the new MacBook Pro but I have a quick question. I currently have a windows HP laptop and I have Adobe CS2 installed on it. If I buy the MacBook Pro, install Windows and run Boot Camp, will I be able to install the windows version of the CS2 I will uninstall from my old laptop?
    thanks again.

    well.. I'll just answer that as I'm sure someone would like to know.
    NTFS
    Pro: can transfer files greater than 2GB
    Con: OSX can only read NTFS drives, they cannot write onto it
    FAT32
    Pro: Both Windows and OSX can read/write onto drive
    Con: Cannot have files greater than 2GB
    if you're working with a lot of uncompressed files like for example: video files for video editing, then NTFS is your only option.

  • HT5891 os x mavericks and bootcamp for windows 7 64 bit

    I am currently running Win 7 64-bit in Bootcamp on my OS X 10.8 and it works great. I am connected via fire wire to my old DELL 2007WFP Display and this is allowing my MacBook Pro Retina to really act as a workstation for Revit/Acad 2014.  Questions: will Mavericks be compatible with my current Bootcamp setup?  If not, what version of Bootcamp IS compatible? Will Mavericks preclude me from using my existing second display, as it looks like the mirroring is all wireless with this OS upgrade.  Thanks!

    1st question: yes
    2nd question: no

  • HT4818 15" Retina Display MacBook Pro and Bootcamp Assistant crashes.

    I've spent several days with the AppleCare Support team and also with the Genius Bar team at my local Apple Store on this issue.
    Has anyone else with a MacBook Pro 15" Retina Display encountered the same problem?  A colleague of mine who has a 13" MacBook Pro with a 13" Retina Display was able to install Windows 7 using Bootcamp Assistant.  My local Apple Store even tested installing Windows 7 on a clean-build OS X (10.8.3) 15" Retina MacBook Pro.  Same problem.

    Where does it crash, if it crashes at the partitioning of the drive try to remove any other external/thumb drives that may be plugged into the computer before it goes to the partitioning phase.  I have seen this happen on occasion when the thumbdrive that has the windows drivers on it is plugged in and mounted.

  • I have a macbook pro and F3 for launchpad and I tried to restore it and its not working. Help please, what should I do?

    Plase help

    Not sure what you are asking here.
    Are you saying that pressing F3 no longer brings up Launchpad?
    If so check System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts
    Follow the instructions at the top of the box. (Double-click "Show Launchpad" and then press the F3 key on your keyboard.)
    Should start working again.
    Also, make sure that System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard "Use All F1, F2, etc, keys as standard function keys" is UNchecked.
