Macs don't show me created the partition for windows. And if through Bootcamp that says "No bootable device found" . Please HELP.

Shared disk (Tried 2 methods BootCamp and Disk Utility) to install windows, but the section is not shown, to be precise, when you turn the Mac while holding Alt key shows the partition for system restore and disk partition with OSX, and not created by me. If you try through Bootcamp that actually says "No bootable device". What could it be? I have a macbook pro 371ll/a, OSX 10.9.5 . Thanks for the reply.

Thank you! All established, but a new problem with Windows 7 partition. If you install Windows on a Mac, say you gave 30GB on widows, after installation you have 2GB from 30GB, while the size of the files in Windows is 18 GB, should be free 12 from 30. Hidden files on large amounts of no (100 MB all hidden files together). Know that there is a disk which reserves memory for the system, but I don't have, I look through the taskbar there is a disk with osx and bootcamp and all. What could it be, if you of course know.

    Ok Great,
    Will installing Boot Camp drivers allow me to both read and write to the OS X Volume from windows?
    This is important as if it will it means i can make the windows partition a lot smaller and keep all my files on the OS X partition which would be preferable.

    No, OSX will be read only (from Windows) and vice versa. (you can install 3rd party utilities on either or both partitions, to make read/write possible)

    sure pretty simple.  make a backup of your current settings
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US
    then restore device from old backup you need pics off of
    then import pics to computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    you may need to save pics to camera roll first
    then restore the new backup and sync pics back to phone via itunes

  • How is the performance of Mac Pro if i use it as host for windows and linux virtual machines.

    How is the performance of Mac Pro if i use it as host for windows and linux virtual machines.
    I am planning to buy a high performance PC to run my Windows and Linux servers as vitrual machines for my testing purposes.
    Initially i planned to build my own computer with recommended configurations but considering space constaints and cooling factors i think Mac Pro can be a choice. But need some inputs if Mac pro (Intel Xeon E5, 12 GB RAM) is good for running virtual Machines.

    You could even run Windows natively and still run your VM servers.
    I have seen reports and such on MacRumors and elsewhere - run Windows natively as well as VMs (can also do testing and run Mavericks in a VM under Mavericks)
    The fast internal PCIe-SSD, plus 6 or 8 cores, and 32-64GB RAM. Of course for $5,000 for 8-core, some Thunderbolt storage and 32GB/64GB RAM you can buy some serious hardware.

    after i use 4.3.3 for iphone 4. the notification for facebook and yahoo do not work. what is wrong? anyone can help?

    I am also on my forth hard drive on the same model.
    When I unpacked the computer, the hard drive did not include OS X either. Actually, it was completely blank. Did not even have a partition table! I have also had random problems with the machine not charging.
    I have replaced the drive myself with an SSD after figuring the Apple Certified technicians were incompetent. Now even the SSD is starting to fail
    I have bought an HP laptop and setup Ubuntu on it. Hope it turns out better than my previous four various Mac models. All have had various repeating hardware issues that Apple Certified technicians have been unable or unwilling to correct.

  • BC Assistant won't create single partition for Windows on four drive MacPro

    I have a Mac Pro with four HDs, and want to dedicate one of them to be a Windows disk.
    When I run Bootcamp assistant and select the intended windows disc, I have the options to partition or "Erase the Disk and Create a Single Partition for Windows".
    I select the Single partition option and continue, but the Bootcamp volume is not created. In Disk Utility it appears as an unmounted disk with name like disk4s2 or similar.
    If I select the partition option, it correctly creates an "Untitled" mac partition and a "Bootcamp" partition.
    I have repeated this with different hard drives and after zeroing out the intended disk.
    Thanks for any help.
    PS I have Softraid on my system, although neither my Boot drive or the intended windows drive are converted to Softraid format. The Softraid driver is installed on my boot drive. Do you think this might be the problem?

    Thanks Hatter,
    Thanks for the answer, which unfortunately isn't quite appropriate in my case, which I didn't lay out fully in the interest of brevity.
    My usual configuration is with a the bay 2 HD a dedicated Windows 7 whole disk installation, which works fine.
    I occasionally need to support my father with Vista problems. I used to have Vista on this bay 2 HD, and still have a Winclone image from then.
    My goal is to have a spare sled and slot in the Vista HD in when I need Vista. I don't want to start again installing etc.
    Since starting this thread, I decided to proceed with the Bootcamp assistant option which worked, ie to partition to an OSX and Windows partition, and make the OSX one as small as poss (5Gb) then delete that partition. I have restored the Winclone image, and all is working exactly as I want it, except I have lost 5gb. Not a big deal.

  • My sound no longer works on Mac OS after installing a Boot Camp partition for Windows 7 x64.

    I installed Windows 7 x64-Bit Professional Edition on my iMac Mid-2011 on Yosemite 10.10.2 through Boot Camp. I installed Windows 7 without any hitches and I proceeded to install an old PC game and I was able to run it just fine, I could here the audio perfectly. But, the next day, when I started my iMac on the Mac OS partition, the sound bar icon on the top right was greyed out. This problem began occurring after I restarted to the (original) Mac OS partition I've tried to check it out on System Preferences and Audio MIDI Setup. On Sys Prefs, it says, "No output devices found" and "No input devices found". On Audio MIDI Setup, it says,"No Devices Found on the System."When I go back to the Windows partition, I can hear audio just fine and I can even set the volume from my keyboard. I have already updated the necessary drivers on the Windows side. I've reset the PRAM and repaired the disk permissions with Disk Utility. Headphones don't work either but I can send audio through a bluetooth speaker that I have.

    Hi 0day,
    unfortunately you have to have the MacOS DVD to install the Boot Camp 3 (legally).
    The 3.1 and 3.2 are upgrades to that (as you found out).

  • How large should I make the partition for Windows XP?

    I am mainly using it for light gaming, the partition means how much of the hard drive is used for windows and windows-based programs/games it can use, right? What does Windows alone need, and what would you suggest? I have about 100GB total disk space left on my macbook.

    This will in part depend on the copy of Windows XP you are using to install. If it is the absolute latest copy you could get it should come with SP3 built in, which will reduce the amount of space necessary. If it is Windows XP SP2 or earlier, you will need significantly more space. I suggest 4.5 - 5 gb just for XP alone, especially in the latter case. After that, find the maximum space that your programs can use on installation, add it all up, and add at least 10% to that. Next, take your amount of physical RAM and add at least that much to your previous total (this accounts for the pagefile). That would be your bare minimum to allow for Windows XP. As long as you don't expect to store significant amounts of data via Windows, that amount can be all you need.

  • The larger the partition for windows, the slower it will run?

    Hello Everyone,
    Someone has told me this was the case, The larger you put your partition for windows, your computer or windows will run slower. Is this really the case? i was planning to make windows 500GBs and Mac 500GBs, will this cause any issues?
    Thank You

    Yep, even if you put them to 500GB each.
    If this were true, 500+GB hard drives wouldn't be very popular. Also, IF there is any connection between HD size and speed, it'd be very very hard to notice. Generally, at least in the past, HD's with more storage feature slower drive speeds, so this is potentially where this untrue statement came from, however, I do believe that is a thing of the past and Windows will run fine on your 500GB partition, without any noticable speed difference from a smaller sized partition. The drive still spins at the same speed, regardless of partition size.

  • Having an issue with creating a partition for Windows 8?

    Hey, all. I'm trying to make a partition for Windows 8, but now it's stuck on the "shrinking the disc" phase of the partition. It's been over two, and it's only about 25% through. It's been there for a good hour and a half. Should I let it sit through the night, or do a full reboot?

    Likely you have already figured it out by now and this is just a guess.
    I suspect that if the flash skin is linking to it's embedded assets (not embedded) or is using css (same difference) then the flash player is not able to access the assets from the context of the page in which it is being included.  Check for problems with the way that the paths were defined to those assets.
