MBP Mid 2014 Bootcamp windows 8.1 installation fails

Hi,
three days ago, my new MBP 15" retina arrived, switching from my "old" 13.3 early 2013 one. After setting up mac system, I had to install bootcamp with windows 8.1 again. This combination Yosemite vs. Windows 8.1 (from exact same media) worked with bootcamp on the 13" for more than a year flawlessly.
Firing up BCA, I resized the disk to generate space for Win and started installation procedure, now the hazzle began.
Windows was constantly quitting installation
using the bootcamp created partition, it stopped with "cannot update boot loader"
recreating windows partition through win setup, it stopped with "cannot start next phase of installation"
I found several posts here and on the web, that solved the issues for older MBPs, but none of them worked for me.
Finally, by constantly repartitioning cos of that hazzle I crashed my boot, now reinstallaing yosemite from scratch.
Anyway, I need windows on that machine. Any1 having same issues or some proposals, why what worked on my 13" is failing on the newer hardware series on my 15"?

It`s not beacuse of the case. I have the same problem with a macbook pro retina 15 late 2013 (I7 - 2.3 Ghz, 16 GB, 512 SSD, GT750M) with windows 8.1 on bootcamp. The temperature is higher than yosemite. It gets easily at 80 celsius in a demanding game, while on yosemite it barely reaches 55-60 under heavy load. It`s beacuse of windows, and these are the temperatures, I got the same average 55-60 in windows and 45 celsius in yosemite. I read on the forums and I tried evend with a cooler pad. But it doesn`t seem to be any improvement with lowering the temperature in windows.

My MBP mid 2014 is using too much RAM

My MBP mid 2014 is using too much ram on kernel task, and some others what can I do to fix this?

To add to Tim's excellent advice, look at my numbers for my quad-core i7 iMac with 12GB RAM installed:
As you can see, the system has reserved almost all the available RAM but the swaps are zero and the memory pressure is on the bottom of the scale. My computer runs very fast.
RAM handling in OSX changed with OS10.9 and continues in 10.10. The measures you were using only apply to Mac OSX 10.8 and older.
If your swaps move up into the Gig range, you are probably using a bunch of RAM. You cannot upgrade RAM in a 2014 Retina model so it behooves you to avoid third-party utilities like "FreeMemory," keep an eye on Safari extensions, and be frugal with your user login items (System Preferences > Users and Groups > {your account} > Login Items tab).

Bootcamp windows 7 x64 installation on macbook air 2012 installation screen problem

Below are some pics on what happens after osx restarts to boot into the USB - windows 7 installation.. tried 2 different USB drives and got the same result. any ideas? please help.

Well, I've seen lots of those threads as well and most failed to manage cooperation of Bitlocker and FileVault, have trouble to get a second partition for windows to use with bitlocker or truecrypt etc. But these issues don't apply to me anymore.
Next there are threads instructing how to get a USB stick to work with Bitlocker claiming to have GPT instead of MBR so EFI is gaining any access on them. Those cases seem to work with MacBooks running with Windows, only, thus passing the issues mentioned in paragraph before as well.
And there is my confusion originating from: I can remember some sites claiming to have trouble with EFI on a Mac using Lion, but all those sites are older than Lion's final release date. So I don't know if there is a similar issue today or if I'm actually missing some option ... rEFIt isn't working with Lion according to the refit site itself. Some sites claim EFI is behaving differently on whether there is a super drive or not as Lion isn't supporting USB booting as long as booting from DVD/CD is available ... what's true about those facts? Is my problem related to having a super drive? Are things getting better as soon as I'm replacing my superdrive by a second internal drive? Is it that strange or some sort of plausible behaviour?
According to GPT, Windows 7 is obviously failing to properly detect hybrid MBR/GPT setups on USB sticks while that's what MacOS' disk manager is doing on having GPT-based single partition stick with exFat format. Instead of using the second hybridized partition it's accessing the protected part, only. If I'm converting a disk to GPT in windows everything works fine, but then without hybridized MBR ...
Regarding the fans I'm with you ... as soon as processor load is exceeding 5% the fans get quite noisy ...

Windows 7 SP1 installation failing. Error code 800F0816

I've had same problem as Rossigno :
Windows 7 SP1 installation keeps failing. Error code 800F0816. Package KB976932 is downloaded successfully but on reboot, windows doesn't start but only in Safe-mode and after System Restore. I run Windows 7 Professional. I've also run KB947821.
)

　I've tried the following:
Renamed SoftwareDistribution to SoftwareDistrbutionOld
Then installed SP1windows6.1-KB976932-X86.exe from :http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=c3202ce6-4056-4059-8a1b-3a9b77cdfdda
None of these suggested remedies have helped
Before that I've run System File Checker, result: Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violationts
newest log files:http://cid-5c2db66d44dcf55f.office.live.com/self.aspx/Collected%20Log%20Files3/Collected%20Log%20Files3.zip
After tried the following:
Stopped wuauserv and crypto services, deleted the “%windir%\softwaredistribution” directory and restarted the services
Deleted complitly Norton antivirus
then again installed SP1
Any suggestions on how I can find the cause of this?

MacBook Air Mid 2013 BootCamp Windows 8.1 Compability

Dear All, actually I have a doubt on installing Windows 8.1 on MacBook Air Mid 2013 by using BootCamp. the thing is when I bought Windows 8.1 from a typical computer accessories store, I been told by the salesperson that there will be no problems at all after installing it, but after I installed the Windows 8.1 on my friend's MacBook Air, the USB ports and trackpad seems like no functioning at all, and the sadest thing is the Computer cant be turn off!!! Its there any remedies on this problem? Or should I just use Windows 8 or either Windows 7 because seems like there is still dont have any software update from Apple, Guys, I need helps from you guy. Thanks!!!!

Thanks themachead: I have tried the adaptors on different macs, as I indicated in my post. The adaptor works fine with a different mac
Yes, I have also tried starting up with the monitor connected, and disconnected.
I just got off the phone with Apple Care. They couldn't solve my issue through normal means, but during one attempt, we closed my MacBook Air while it was connected to the external display, with my Magic Mouse and Apple Keyboard connected via Bluetooth. The external monitor did not come on. However when I opened my Macbook Air's screen, we saw that my Mac had crashed and prompted me to reboot. When it did, the external monitor worked. I have been able to disconnect and reconnect the monitor and it seems to be working now. I will see what happens after a few attempts.

MBP Mid 2010 Trackpad acting up after installation of Yosemite.

I recently Installed Yosemite and after installation my built-in trackpad now acts erratically. This include causing cursor to travel in directions that are in no way similar to gesture. Also clicking on words and showing def without being prompted to. Random gestures at random times.

In Applications->Utilities start SystemInformation.
In the Hardware section of the navigation panel on the left, look at "Power" then look at "health information": give us the 'Cycle Count' and "Condition".
(even if you don't think it has anything to do with your issue)

Hi,
How did you upgrade Windows 8 to Windows 8.1? Through Windows Store? To resolve this problem. Firstly, please check and install all Windows update, and upgrade hardware driver to be latest. After that, please try to create a new user account and upgrade
system again.
If problem persists, please access to the path below to check Windows installation log:
setupact.log and setuperr.log in c:\windows.~BT\Sources\Panther. If this folder not exit, please check setupact log in C:\Windows\Panther. You may find the reason for this problem. You also can provide these log to us, we can help you analyze these log together.

Windows 2003 R2 installation failing with ORA-12154

Windows 2003 R2 Enterprise default installation, no Windows Updates at all
Pentium 4, 2 gb ram, 127 gb hard drive
In a workgroup using DHCP
Installed Microsoft Loopback Adapter as per installation docs (which I read)
Default installation of Oracle 10g R2 Enterprise, which installs a starter database.
During the step Creating and starting Oracle instance with Clone database creation in progress at 46%, an error dialog appears:
ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified.
The same problem occured when using a static IP address. About a year ago I followed the same steps with 2003 Enterprise (not the R2 version) and was successful. I also tried installing on XP Pro Service Pack 2 and failed at the same point.
At this point I am completely unable to install Oracle 10g R2 on Windows using the default options. I even tried just installing Oracle without the starter database and then use DBCA to create a database. It failed to create a database.

some more information
I’ve just restarted the server with its full quota of 16GB of RAM and selected both boot.ini switches (/PAE and /3GB) at server startup. I then amended the dbblock_lru_latches parameter from 128 to 64. Before I even started the database I tried running ‘ipconfig /all’ at the command prompt with the following result:
D:\Oracle>ipconfig /all
Windows IP Configuration
An internal error occurred: Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service.

is it windows causing these issues?

OCS windows single box installation fails

Hi there,
I´m having trouble with installing the OCSR2 single box distribution.
My environment is a Xeon with 1GB Ram running Windows Server 2003.
The machine is a blank installation without any third party tools, just the available MS patches are installed.
The information storage installer runs without any complaints but the second step which installs the IAS infrastructure fails with a couple of configuration assistants.
First one that fails is the Instance schema assistant. All other assistants are related to OID. Like Password randomize and creating guest account etc.
I have used all defaults for every setup option, though there are not many ;-)
The server is registered with our DNS server and has a fully qualified domain name, which I have proofed from other computers in our LAN.
Are there any suggestions for this issue. I´m really stuck with installation and have no idea what to do.
Any help is very much appreciated.
Cheers Elmar

I have the same problem, on Windows 2000 Server with SP4. I noticed that the InternetDirectory service is marked as "starting". I looked at which ports were open (netstat -an) and 389 is not opened.\
I also have an another problem: the Database Configuration Assistant has failed too. It complains that I have a invalid database domain name:
Invalide database domain name. The database domain name must start with an alphabetical character.
But my database domain name (and SID) only contains letters.

Windows 7 SP1 Installation Fails, Error 80004005

Thanks for your help.

Windows 8 lightroom installation failed

Hello,
The installation of the latest version of Lightroom 5.7 failed. The reason see below.
I tried to delete the folder in windows but I cannot delete them because I do not have enough rights. I tried to take over the ownership of the folder but that also doesnot work because the owner is not changeble.
Has someone an idea what to do?

If you are logged on as an administrator you can use this solution to take control of the folder.
To take control of the folder that you cannot delete create a text file called “delete.bat” and add the following lines to it:
SET DIRECTORY_NAME="C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.7\Resources\CameraProfiles\Camera\Sony ILCE-5100"
TAKEOWN /f %DIRECTORY_NAME% /r /d y
ICACLS %DIRECTORY_NAME% /grant administrators:F /t
PAUSE
You will need to change the directory path to match your requirements e.g. “C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.7\Resources\CameraProfiles\Camera\Sony ILCE-5100y”if it is not correct.
Right click on the file “delete.bat” select “Run As Administrator” and you should now have full control of the directory and all sub directories meaning you can do what you wish with them.

Upgrade to Windows Server 2008 installation fails (reports Services to uninstall but they are not installed)

I am upgrading a Windows Server 2003 to 2008.
When I run the install it completes the Compability check and reports that Sharepoint Services and WSUS are installed. They are not installed and are not running Services either. I have attempted to remove Registry keys for these but this does not resolve
my issue.
Control Panel, Add/Remove does not report these as installed either.
How do I get the 2008 install to continue and ignore these OR how do I "truly" get these "uninstalled" if there is nothing I can do to find out what is reporting that they are installed?

SBS 2003 does contain these feature by default. Is this a small business server OS? If so I'd try them over here.

Duplicate file of file already exists.
Has anyone had similar error?
This happens when installing Win 7 as a first time startup

Hello amck
To be clear: Either HDD recovery works or not. You cannot rename something in hope it will works.
The whole thing is Toshiba specific procedure and designed for each notebook model separately.
If you lose this Repair my computer option in Advanced boot options (F8) you have big a problem.
Only thing you can do now is to contact nearest Toshiba authorized service provider and explain the situation in hope you will get new recovery DVD for free or you must order new one under https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx
