Macbook Pro with Windows 7

I have a Mac and i want to run windows 7 on a different partition. How do i install it without purchasing the hard copy of Windows 7. in other words, how do I directly installed it from the Internet. It cost more to buy the hard copy then to download it. Any ideas? I think I will have to restart my Mac and install the CD for the operating system. However I don't want to buy the CD. Has anyone done this before?

yes i have done this but i dont know if its violate the rules of this community

How did you get them to install the first time and where did you get them?
Read the Installation Guide, Boot Camp 4.0 FAQ and the Windows 7 FAQ.
Here's the Boot Camp Manual.

This is not a Mac/Apple issue. You need to contact the seller and ask where the Windows XP product key is.

Some problems on my macbook pro with windows 7.

I just installed win 7 on my macbook pro with retina. I used win7 several times, but now, when I enter in win7 side, there is always black screen on my computer. However, I can enter in safe mode. What can I do about this? PLZZZZZ　ＨＥＬＰＰＰ　ＭＥＥＥ！！！

When you say black screen are you referring to the black screen that says "This is not a genuie copy of Windows" ? Or specifically when do you get the black screen/ are there any errors?

Updated MacBook Pro with Windows 7, doing nothing on Apple

I have a MacBook Pro with Leopard 10.5.1, and I was running Windows XP Pro Service Pack 3 on the Windows side.
I updated to Windows 7 , but did not do anything on the Apple side. Big mistake,
Windows 7 works fine BUT!!! I have no Mac OS.
In order to get the Mac working again, what do I need to do? Will I have to restart my Windows 7 upgrade, and use Bootcamp with the Leopard. Can I reload Leopard and BootCamp and then have both Leopard and Windows 7 working as properly.
If you could provide or direct me to someone who could, step by step instruction on this please do so.
My windows Data is still on Carbonite and I have no issues with having to lose my Apple side memory.
I have a external drive if needed I also have 37.3Gig free space
A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.

I am not sure what the selections were. Maybe this will help. I ran the Windows 7 upgrade without any thought to BootCamp or the Leopard OS. Now Windows 7 is on the same partition that XP had been on.
I have no reason to thank that my Leopard OS is not fine but is now isolated from the Windows 7 or anywhere that I could find.
Maybe If I downloaded BootCamp it would make that connection again.
Thanks for your help, am I the only one to make this mistake??

Keyboard hangs on MacBook Pro with Windows 7

I have a 2008 MacBook Pro and Windows 7 RC installed with Boot Camp drivers.
More and more, the keyboard hangs. Sometimes it does not register a keystroke (for about 1 second), and shortly thereafter it hangs on 1 keystroke (pressing a random key once results in about 30 of that characters on screen).
I know Windows 7 is still not officialy released, but I do hope this gets fixed in the near future. I have had many Windows 7 installs, including previous versions. They all had the same issue.
The problem seems to be the Keyboard manager. Windows 7 also reported that this service was using more than usual resources, causing it to be bad for battery life.

Same problem here. I already installed Windows 7 and then Windows XP to see if this was a Win7 issue but on both OS the issue is occurring.
Delay with the Keyboard when press a key. Sometimes it writes 30 or more of the same character.
I can't do the double fingers/right click most of the times since the drives seems to hang and multitouch trackpad stops to recognize the two fingers right click. It eventually come back working OK from time to time and then stops working again.
Bootcamp 3.0 did not resolve the issue for me under Win XP and Win 7

Appcrash with multitrack sessions in Audition CS6 on a MacBook Pro with Windows 7

This is an issue with multitrack sessions different from 44100 Hz in Audition CS6 (as part of a Premium Suite CS6). While multitrack sessions with a sampling rate of 44100 Hz works normally (as long as I use clips with 44100 Hz) any other sampling rate causes an APPCRASH (s. below). Also with the insertion ( in a 44100 Hz multitrack session, of course) of any clip with a sampling rate different from 44100 Hz, the programme crashes in the moment it's going to generate a adapted copy for the multitrack timeline.
Audition is installed on a MacBook Pro Retina 15" ,Mid 2014, Model 11,3, Intel Core i7 4870HQ 2,5 GHz, 16GB RAM with Windows 7 SP1.
I tried all advices of the Adobe troubleshooting site and some of the community.
Especially:
- the simplified mode with user-defined system start
- deactivated user account control
- new user account
- deactivated data execution prevention (DEP)
Also the use of different audio interfaces affords no effect:
- build in Cirrus Logic CS4208 with MME drivers
- Motu UltraLight mk3 hybrid via USB with Asio drivers.
In spite of an extensive search I can't find any similar case in the net.
So, please, can you help me?
Sorry, it's a german version of windows 7:

I'm afraid you are right. At the worst I'm more than 50% of the audition users on a mac with windows.To solve the problem within a passable time I would like to change to the mac version of audition. But unfortunately it's impossible to use the mac version with a windows licence. And CS6 licences (mac audition) are not longer available (only at a moon rate).
Because of the weekend we can pass the time with the latest news of my trouble-shooting.
The crash is not only within the multitrack session but also within the waveform view: when I try to change the sampling rate (Edit -> Convert Sample Type) the programme crashes with the same problem signature. And here it crashes with all sampling rates , including 44.1k audio files. On the other hand I can play all sampling rates within the waveform view.
I compared the logfile from the predecessor of the MacBook , a LG Notebook with windows vista and a working Au CS6 with the current logfile of the Mac: They are identical at the beginning and at the end (termination sequence). But after " Initializing AuScripting" there is a "DLMS 6.0x39 FileServer startup code: 0" and the listing of a couple of codecs in the Notebook logfile - but not so in the Mac logfile.
Also the logfile of my workstation with a working Au CS6 shows this "DLMS 6.0x39 FileServer startup code" - line. Because of the two working and one crashing computer this part of the logfile seems to be important ??

Can i buy a macbook pro with windows already on it

I'm looking to buy a Macbook Pro and I am also wanting windows on it. Can I buy it with it already installed ?

No you cant't however you can easily install it with bootcamp. Here is an easy guide READ THROUGH ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS AND MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND BEFORE DOING ANYTHING: http://www.tuaw.com/2009/11/02/an-illustrated-guide-to-boot-camp-and-windows-7/
All you need is a usb (8GB), Windows 7 full copy (no upgrade) and about 1 hour of time

IR on Macbook pro with windows

I have been using my MBP 2.33 and the only problem i have run into so far is that i cannot get any remote control to work with the MBP under Windows MCE. I have mce 2005 loaded on my macbook pro and the only functions that i can get to work are the play/pause, and skip forward or backward. I have a logitech remote and this program also will only do the same functions. Has anyone got a remote to work with eiother front row, or mce other than the supplied one. I want to be able to navigate through mc without having to go to the keyboard, i plan on using this laptop as a secondary livingroom entertainment pc.

Same problem here. I already installed Windows 7 and then Windows XP to see if this was a Win7 issue but on both OS the issue is occurring.
Delay with the Keyboard when press a key. Sometimes it writes 30 or more of the same character.
I can't do the double fingers/right click most of the times since the drives seems to hang and multitouch trackpad stops to recognize the two fingers right click. It eventually come back working OK from time to time and then stops working again.
Bootcamp 3.0 did not resolve the issue for me under Win XP and Win 7

New MacBook Pro with Windows 7 only - need OS X installed

Hi,
For my new job, I have been given a new MacBook Pro, but for some strange reason, it only has Windows 7 pre installed. Is there any way of installing Mac OS without trashing the Windows installation? I have booted from the Mac OS install disk and have the option to partition the disk via the disk utility, but would this delete Windows?
I basically need the MacBook to be dual bootable.
Thanks in advance
Greg

I am under the impression that Mac OSX 10.6 is necessary to install Windows via Bootcamp. If your Windows operates via an emulator you would have to have a Mac OSX install to access the application.
I can only guess that the Mac OSX is in some way hidden so that you can only see Windows. Have you tried to boot while holding the option key down to see if there is a Mac start up choice?
I would not repartition with disk utility till you have an answer as it would certainly erase the hard disk. Is there someone at your new job who could explain this situation. Be sure to follow up on this thread as I am quite interested in the explanation.

2011 i7 Macbook Pro with Windows 7 SP1, can't get it to work

2.2 GHz Macbook Pro 2011 17 inch
OCZ Vertex 3
Mac OS X 10.6.8
2nd HD instead of optical drive
I bought a downloadable version of Windows 7 SP1 from Microsoft and burned it to a disk. I have tried probably 25 times to install via Bootcamp, but I always get a black screen with a blinking cursor. I went to an Office Depot in Mexico and bought a hard copy of Windows 7 and still have the same problem.
I have searched and it seems like you can't install Windows 7 on Bootcamp via external drive (have read it on multiple sites, but can't figure out why).
I just upgraded to Lion after reading that you can install a Windows iso on a USB Stick, but after looking on these forums, the FAQ says it will work on only certain models.... My question is, what models? I have tried searching, but have had zero results.

your burn is the first issue, common - reduced slowest 2x burn speed
3rd party superdrives also don't work and you need support driver
you need to disconnect the 2nd internal drive also

Poor graphics performance on Macbook Pro with windows 7 bootcamp

I have a 13" Non-Retina Machbook Pro with Intel HD 4000 Graphics, purchased around 2 years ago. I installed Bootcamp for certain assignments for school, running Windows 7, and started playing videogames on it. I played Dark Souls and Chivalry, mainly, and both ran reliably at a pretty mediocre framerate but with decent graphics settings. I picked up Dark Souls 2 in the summer, and was able to run it and medium-high graphics with decent framerate. several months later, after not having played on Windows for a while, I came back to Dark Souls 2, but found that the game would run with this strange, pulse-y lag, like everything would animate quickly for a moment before pausing and continue again. the framerate itself was normal, it would just stutter constantly. (about one pause per second) and it wasn't a complete freeze, either. The game would move very slowly for a moment instead of freezing.
Anyway I was surprised and decided to test it with Chivalry. Same Problem. Kingdoms of Amalur, same problem. All of these were windows only so I decided to compare something that could run on both platforms. I tested it with league of legends - Mac side: Medium-high graphics with 60 fps. Windows side: Low graphics with pulsing lag and 30fps.
I read through some articles and found something about SMC reset. Tried that. No effect.
Then I updated my drivers. No effect.
Any idea what's wrong with my windows-side graphics?

I have Windows 7 Pro Boot Camped on my Mac Mini (late 2012) HD 4000 as well. Nvidia driver. On a graphics intense game of mine I have learned to just get by. Unfortunately using Nvidia or other graphics driver updates through Windows Update is the best you can do. I would not attempt or recommend a newer graphics driver from the manufacture website. You may end up rendering your Windows unusable. Windows 7 has great benefits on a Mac, but, limited user options. One of my graphics intense programs had to be found and purchased from the App Store. Windows version just would not run correctly. If you are stuck with the RAM that came with your MBP, you may want to upgrade to 8 or the full 16 GB of RAM which may help. Otherwise I find Windows to run quite well. I use it for DVD playback and Media Center which runs great. I have 4 GB of RAM. Cheers!

You can use SyncMate. I've downloaded it but have yet to try it as my phone should be here tomorrow. Seems like a nice little program. You can get it here... http://www.eltima.com/download/syncmate/

MacBook Pro with Window XP Home...

Hi,
Once we disable Norton Internet security for 10 minutes it seems that my wife's Windows XP/Aim can initiate/invite me to video chat but I am unsuccessful when I try to initiate video chat.
1) How can we make it so that my wife (Windows XP Home) does not have to manually shut of the internet security temporarilly?
2) How can I successfully initiate the vid chat calls?
3) Will the solutions to the above questions allow us to successfully pass along pictures and music files?
Thanks a lot!

HI SC00,
Welcome to the Apple Discussions
Ok to pass pics and files the modem and the Mac firewall need to have port 5190 open to the UDP protocol.
Have you done this ?
The Linksys can use UPnP to open the ports.
The Mac firewall settings are like this http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com/page4.html (Tiger and Panther versions shown)
iChat sends and receives invites on port 5678 but as your can see invites this appears to be open.
AIM needs the same port 5190 open to UDP and TCP for the same functions as iChat uses this port for.
To allow incoming Video chats AIM needs ports 1024-5000 opened in her Modem.
The Xp firewall at Service Pack 2 can be opened like this
http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com/page12.html#_Service which should be the same ports in the Norton when the XP firewall is Off.

Bootcamp/Partitioned my Macbook Pro with Windows 7, No Internet

So I ran bootcamp assistant, installed Windows 7 (Pro) and partitioned my Macbook Pro (running Mavericks), and in the first runthrough I had a few bad hard links, which was an easy fix. So I tried again, got everything installed, and when I tried to run windows on my partition, there's no way for me to connect to my wireless internet, nor does it give me any options to select from in trying to troubleshoot. I can connect just fine when running Mavericks, but cant even diagnose the problem in windows. Thanks

I'm not sure what "a few bad hard links" means. It sounds like you didn't install the drivers for the Mac hardware. Start here:
