My late 2012 iMac keeps shuting down by Kernel Panics

I been having several Kernel Panics on the last few days. I ran an AHT and it returned a memory failure so I contacted OWC to replace the modules. I extracted the modules yesterday and will ship them by the end of the week. The KPs still happening, AHT says everything is ok. I thought it was my TB-FW adapter that I use for external hard drives but even if I unplug it the mac keeps shuting down. I ran Onyx to repair permissions ans sed me to Disk Utility due a Disk error. I ran Disk Utiliry in repair mode and it says it can't repare the dik and I need to format and back up data. I am trying to back up but KPs dont let me. Here is the first KP message on Mar 21 an the last on Mar 25. Hope someone can help. Thank you all!

I removed the two DIMMs and I'm writing this on safe mode. I have noticed some flickering on the display, but not the entire screen. Let's say in Safari, the progres barr flickers or while scrolling. Is this normal?
This is the las KP I have had. This was before I remove the RAM.

  • My new (late 2013) iMac keeps rebooting due to kernel panic

    I just picked up a brand-new iMac and pumped it up with 32Gb of RAM. Kinda surprised to have unexpected restarts twice a day (although it really does reboot FAST) Sorta bad though as I'm a designer and need to keep saving my projects every 30 seconds for fear of crashes.
    Anybody else? Here's the report.... Fun part is the BSD process name is different every time

    SInce it's a new machine, contact Apple's Support, formerly Apple Express Lane and let them deal with it.
    Alternatively, boot into safe mode (restart holding down SHIFT key). If no KP, then uninstall and reinstall Parallels. If KP, then most likely hardware related. Run the Apple Hardware Test suite, extended tests at least twice, followed by Rember.  See

    It may be a pretty old version - you may wish to uninstall whatever that is and see if it helps.

  • IMac keeps shutting down when asleep.  Need to unplug and start again.

    iMac keeps shuting down after being put sleep or going to sleep on its own.  Requires disconnecting and restart. Is there a fix?

    Gary...
    Try Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    Power:
    The computer doesn't respond to the power button when pressed.
    A portable Mac doesn't appear to respond properly when you close or open the lid.
    The computer sleeps or shuts down unexpectedly.
    The battery does not appear to be charging properly.
    The MagSafe power adaptor LED doesn't appear to indicate the correct activity."

  • I have a late 2012 iMac running osx 10.8.5.  I keep losing access to my internal hard drive.  I can reboot and regain access and it will last for a few minutes or hours.  Disk utility does not seems to help.

    I have a late 2012 iMac with an I5 precessor running OSX 10.8.5 and a 1tb internal hard drive.  I keep losing access to the internal hard drive/startup disk.
    I can reboot and everything operates as normal for a few minutes or hours but then I lose all access again to anything on the hard drive.  The computer is still up and running but no files can be accessed and certain websites cannot be acessed even though internet access appears to be normal.  Disk utility can only find permission errors related to iTunes which can be repaired only to come back at the next scan (I would not think permission errors would have anything to do with the hard drive crashing).  It does not seem to matter what program I am using at the time access is lost and it can lose access sometimes right after reboot when no program is running.

    You will need to boot into the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart or hold down the option/alt key during restart and select it) to run Disk Utility/Disk Repair.

  • I have a brand new iMac (late 2012) that keeps losing its internet connection

    I have a brand new iMac (late 2012) that keeps losing its internet connection - like every five minutes. I have had it for three weeks. During the first two weeks, it worked flawlessly. However, just as the refund period ended - it became desktop dead weight. Suggestions?

    did u ever get a solution to this?  I have the same 2012 mines 27". It drops after sleep sometimes and can't find anything. Wifi. Connection to the Internet. I pull up network assistant it just gives me blank stares and restart everything. It doesn't even see the time machines and they are still there. I have it right now in full error and my iphones allowing me to see everything as connected and I'm posting here in the forum while my iMac cannot. Doesn't happen all the time. Not sure why it happens or what's goinng on with It. Works great and then sudden wifi failure to recognize.

  • Memory corruption due to bad RAM in late 2012 iMac

    I just unpacked a brand new late-2012 iMac a few days ago. Its specs are basically maxed out, only choice being the 3TB fusion drive. To summarize:
    3.4 GHz Core i7
    32GB RAM
    3TB Fusion Drive
    2GB NVidia
    Latest patches for Mountain Lion
    Since I got it, I have been experiencing intermittent abnormalities with it. Programs randomly crash with error messages along the lines of "such and such file appears corrupt, please run --repair".
    I do a lot of programming in my job and just today I started getting bizarre 'segmentation fault' messages in Terminal. What worked just a few minutes ago started crashing with a segfault. The exact same programs have no negative effect on my Macbook Pro and work just fine. In a matter of minutes, the entire iMac became unresponsive and I got the "we shut down your computer to prevent damage" panic screen.
    After a reboot, I started thinking it could be some sort of memory corruption. I downloaded the 'memtest' utility and started the basic test with:
    memtest all 2
    In just a few minutes, below are the results I receive (I re-ran multiple times to the same effect).
    Any opinions on whether this is indeed bad RAM? How do I handle this with Apple support? Any suggestions/comments are most welcome.
    Thank you,
    Ozgun

    This must be my last last thing.  AHT was on an iMac I bought in 2009.  It was included on my "disk 2" along with several other applications.  When I wiped and installed the full Lion, AHT was gone.  Same is true for the full Mountain Lion installation media.  It does not have AHT.  I'm not at all sure how to get it back from Apple.
    I was able to find it on my SL disc 2 and extract it again from that.  Disc 2 won't install on Mountain Lion (the packages are too out of date) but the AHT pkg does.
    Since you have it, consider packing it up and keeping it safe.  Maybe someone who knows AHT better than I can elaborate on AHT.  From what I've seen, you get it when your mac ships but if you ever wipe and reinstall the OS, you lose it.

  • Late 2012 iMac Freezes every few days

    My iMac has been in the Apple Store for a week with the Geniuses and they came back saying they couldn't find anything so putting this out to this community in the hope someone else can help. Here are the details.
    Model: 21.5 inch Late-2012 iMac
    RAM: 8Gb
    Processor: 2.9Ghz Intel Core i5
    Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 512 MB
    Hard Drive: 1.12 Tb Fusion (653Gb free)
    OS: 10.8.4
    Software: Fairly vanilla with no MS or Adobe Apps. No system extensions or hacks installed.
    Symptom: Every few days or so the iMac locks up. Certain running applications will still work but many common ones such as Pages, Aperture, App Store & TextEdit will hang when trying to open. Force Quitting them doesn't affect them. When I try to shut down the computer it goes to the grey screen and stays there. Eventually the power needs to be turned off to reboot it. This has been doing this for the last several months.
    Solutions Tried:
    - Fixed permissions
    - Reset PRAM
    - Re-install OS X
    I can't replicate the crash but today it happened again. At around 3:50pm I went to the iMac and noticed that Pages wouldn't load. Force quitting the App didn't do anything. Aperture was not responding so force quit that. Still wouldn't re-open. Mail was working fine and I was able to send a test message. Safari worked fine. Launched System Preferences ok but could not launch TextEdit or App Store. Calendar opened and closed fine. Attempted to restart the Mac but got the grey screen and after 5 minutes of waiting turned the computer off & relaunched it.
    Here is a snapshot of some Console entries:

  • Issue with Fusion drive (Late 2012 iMac)

    I have a late 2009 iMac that has been backed up with Time Machine.  I recently picked up a late 2012 iMac with the 1TB Fusion drive.  When I first plugged in my Time Machine drive, I was asked if I'd like to transfer my files over.  I did, and everything was working fine.  I was using about 800GB of my 1.12TB Fusion Drive.
    I recently decided to add a new partition to the Macintosh HD in order to put Windows on it. I did this through the Disk Utility.  I noticed that it was taking an inordinately long time to create this partition.  Finally, I realized that the Disk Utility was locked up.  I was forced to reboot to fix it.
    I went back and tried again and I got an error stating that the drive had errors and I couldn't make a new partition.  So I attempted to "repair disk".  That gave me an error "Error: This disk needs to be repaired using the Recovery HD. Restart your computer, holding down the Command key and the R key until you see the Apple logo. When the OS X Utilities window appears, choose Disk Utility."
    So I rebooted into recovery.  Recovery was absolutely no help either.  It couldn't repair the drive, even though it had me erase all the data.  So I downloaded 10.8.2 on my Mac Mini and made a boot disk out of my Thunderbolt drive.  I booted into OS X and tried again to repair, thinking it would work since the Fusion was no longer the boot drive.  No such luck.  I then booted back into recovery and had recovery download and install a fresh version of 10.8.2.  2+ hours into the download/install, I get an error that says "OS X couldn't be installed because the disk Macintosh HD is damaged and can't be repaired."
    Ok, so as a final attempt, I had recovery use my time machine to start over.  That worked, kinda.  It now shows my Fusion drive as being completely filled in Disk Utility (49KB remains, only about 800 or so was used before), and Finder shows the Fusion drive as being 860GB capacity with 837GB used.  I still can't repair the disk.  And now my Time Machine acts like I'm working on an entirely new computer and says there's not enough room on the drive unless I format my Time Machine drive and start over.
    Yeah, TL;DR, but does anybody have any idea how I can get this issue resolved?  I wonder if doing the TM restore from my 2009 iMac may have introduced the non-Fusion version of Disk Utilities that doesn't know how to fix my issue.

    Yes I have AppleCare.
    Before that I've now made a bootable disk and tried to repair the internal drive, but this was not possible.
    I have a Time Machine backup, but excluded some temporary folders.
    Is there a way to access these folders in case they aren't in a damaged area?
    Maybe using "Target Disk mode"?
    I've never done this before.
    This Mac has no FireWire, but we have an adaptor for Thunderbolt to FireWire - could I connect an older Mac with FireWire using this adaptor for Target Disk Mode?
    Many thanks.

  • Disabling Fusion Drive and Installing Windows on SSD of Late 2012 iMac

    Hi, everyone.  After a two-year wait, I'm ready to buy my first iMac (was waiting for USB 3.0).  Before I get into my questions, I'll give you an overview of where I'm coming from so we can keep the discussion focused.
    My Usage
    I'm buying an Apple computer because it is the best-looking, quietist, and most powerful all-in-one computer I can find right now, but Windows is still my preferred operating system.  I've used OS X before – it looks great and I'm sure it works great for a large number of people, but it's not for me.  Windows works well and efficiently for me and I have thousands of dollars of design software for Windows.  I'm not interested in a virtualization solution because of my performance needs.  However, I do want to keep the OS X installation, if possible, for website testing and to play around with to learn the operating system better.
    What I Want
    I was attempting to buy the Late 2012 iMac last weekend, but it appears the BootCamp specifications and the Fusion Drive are currently limiting my usage needs.  I'm configuring the top model iMac with the i7-3770 processor, 24GB RAM (8 default + 16 from Crucial), GTX 680MX, and the 3TB Fusion Drive.  I don't actually want to use the Fusion Drive, though.  I want Windows 7 64-bit and OS X 10.8 installed on the 128GB SSD and to use the 3TB hard drive as storage for my music, videos, photos, and documents.
    My Questions
    1.  I've found a bunch of posts regarding installing Windows on the Fusion Drive, but they all seem to be about putting Windows on the slower 3TB hard drive portion and/or about trying to keep the Fusion setup after installing Windows.  Does anyone have a walk-through for a new Mac user on how to break the Fusion Drive configuration and install Windows 7 and preferably OS X on just the SSD?
    2.  I've seen a bunch of posts debating about whether Windows can be installed natively using EFI to bypass the BootCamp limitations.  Is this possible?  The 21.5" version is running EFI version 2.0, so I can only assume the 27" would too, but it's not been added on the Apple website yet (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1237).  From what I understand, Windows requires at least version 2.0 to run in EFI mode.  Also, if I am able to get this method to work, will I still be able to install the Windows drivers from the OS X installation USB (or do they even come with USB drives anymore?)?
    3.  If I have to use BootCamp, I assume I will have to split the 3TB drive into 1TB and 2TB partitions for BootCamp to see it (so Windows can see it).  So I'd have Windows 7 and OS X on the SSD, and two storage partitions on the 3TB HDD that would show up as two drives for my files that both operating systems could access.  Is this assumption correct?
    4.  I've seen posts about OS X automatically trying to rebuild the Fusion Drive.  Let's say I'm able to get Windows installed on the SSD.  Will OS X, or future updates to it, ruin my Windows installation?  I would hate to do all this work and then have an Apple update corrupt everything.
    I know this is a long post, but I don't want to spend over $3,000 until I can be sure I can make it work for me.  Thanks to anyone who can help!
    iMac, Windows 7

    First, an advice: Boot Camp isn't compatible with 3 TB hard disks and Fusion Drive. For 3 TB hard disks, there's a workaround, but it doesn't work on a 3 TB Fusion Drive, so you won't be able to install Windows until Apple fixes this, so my advice is to wait until Apple launches OS X 10.8.3 or buy the iMac with a 1 or 2 TB hard disk and an external disk.
    1. The SSD is used automatically by OS X to store the applications and data you most use, but Windows can't use it, and there's no workaround for this.
    2. You can try to install Windows 8 in EFI mode, but I don't guarantee that it works. I tried it on my iMac and I started getting BSODs after some startups. Also, Macs don't use UEFI 2.0 (Macs use EFI 1.x), so you can't use Windows 8 advanced features such as Secure Boot. For Windows 7, you can't install it in EFI mode (it requires UEFI 2.0 or later)
    3. Fusion Drive only allows you to have two volumes, and with Boot Camp, you can only have two volumes on your computer: one for OS X and the other one for Windows. That's because Boot Camp emulates a BIOS to make Windows run (although it isn't neccesary in Windows 8, if Apple would want).
    4. First, you can't install Windows on the SSD. Then, OS X shouldn't ruin Windows because each operating system have got its space

  • Late 2012 imac 'not enough ram' for photoshop

    I have a late 2012 imac - 3.4 i7 16 gig ram and yet when using photoshop elements 9 it keeps freezing with a message saying not enough ram. Another problem which may or may not be related is MS word tending to freeze when I cut and paste??

    Thanks

    Well, I use PSE 11 and at least in my version I would recommend, as Adobe does, that you go into Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor>Preferences>Performance>and there I would set your RAM allocation ("Memory Useage" as they call it ) to at least around 12 GB while you are using PSE.  It is heavily dependent on the amount of RAM it has available:

  • Late 2012 iMac / OS X 10.8.5 / Wifi Connectivity Problems

    Hello all I am the latest to suffer this so annoying problem. Just today when I came home it's not connecting. I have a late 2012 iMac model - OS X 10.8.5
    It's been working for past 2 months...my iPad Mini is working as normal with the wifi but my iMac and also my iPhone 5, both are not connecting to the wifi
    I have tried many things from what I have read in threads nothing has worked
    Can anyone advise please

    Back up all data before making any changes.
    Step 1
    Take all the applicable steps in this support article.  
    Step 2
    If you're running OS X 10.8.4 or later, run Wireless Diagnostics and take the remedial steps suggested in the summary that appears, if any. The program also generates a large file of information about your system, which would be used by Apple Engineering in case of a support incident. Don't post the contents here.
    Step 3
    If you're not using a wireless keyboard or trackpad, disable Bluetooth by selecting Turn Bluetooth Off from the menu with the Bluetooth icon. If you don't have that menu, open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and check the box marked Show Bluetooth in menu bar. Test. Continue if you find that Wi-Fi is faster with Bluetooth disabled.
    From that same menu, select Open Bluetooth Preferences. If the box labeled Discoverable is checked, uncheck it. Click the Advanced button, and in the sheet that opens, uncheck the top three boxes, if any are checked. Click OK. Enable Bluetooth and test again.
    If the application called "Bluetooth Setup Assistant" is running, quit it.
    Step 4
    This step will erase all your settings in the Network preference pane. Make a note of them before you begin, and recreate them afterwards. It may be helpful to take screenshots of the preference pane.
    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "SystemConfiguration" selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    Step 5
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    Step 6
    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.
    Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional — ask if you need guidance.
    If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present. 
    Keeping your confidential data secure during hardware repair
    *An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

  • Late 2012 iMac Keyboard Problems

    Since I got the new 27" late 2012 iMac I am having keyboard issues.
    The issue mainly revolves around the number pad but sometimes the entire keyboard is affected.
    So I will be using the Bluetooth wireless keyboard and mouse and everything will be fine.
    Then all of a sudden the keyboard does not work. Sometime a reboot fixes it but sometimes not.
    Or when I hook up the wired keyboard all of a sudden the number pad on the right does not work but the plus and minus keys do.
    It is very strange and odd.
    When I called Apple tech support they said go get a new keyboard so I did.
    Then when it happened again with the wired keyboard being the problem I took it down to the store and they said because I had bluetooth on it could have been communicating with the wireless keyboard and getting confused.
    Now when trying to use the wireless keyboard I have issues and when I use the wired keyboard I have issues.
    Any other suggestions?

  • Speeding up my iMac late 2012 iMac with external Thunderbolt SSD

    I am a motion graphics editor and would like to get better speed from my late 2012 iMac with a 3 TB Fusion Drive.
    I have three questions:
    1. Does the Fusion drive in this iMac always run the iOS and apps on the ssd part of the fusion drive?
    2. If not, is there a way to make that happen?
    3. If I add an External Thunderbolt 512GB SSD Drive, will I get a significant boost in performance by keeping the files (video and images) on the SSD, or would After Effects need to reside on the new SSD as well?
    I would really appreciate help from anyone that has the expertise to answer this question.
    Thank you.

  • [Guide] Install and run Windows 7/8 from an external drive without using bootcamp (works for late 2012 iMacs with 3TB drive)

    This is a copy of a post from my blog, you can also Read it on my blog...
    Introduction
    After I received my new iMac with a 3 TB Fusion Drive, I was disappointed when I realized that Bootcamp was not running on this model and prevented me from installing Windows on it. I wanted to take advantage of the powerful iMac hardware to play games but I couldn't.
    There are a few ways of working around this limitation, but I found most of them quite complex and most of the time they required formatting the internal hard drive or repartitioning it and go for a brand new installation of Mac OS X. I was not comfortable with that.
    But there is another way, and that is to install Windows on an external hard drive, using either USB or Thunderbolt. Personally I used a Lacie Rugged 1 TB drive that has both USB3 and Thunderbolt connectors. Both work very well.
    This guide may interest you if:
    You have an internal hard drive of more than 2TB and you can't run bootcamp at all (like late 2012 iMacs with a 3TB drive)
    You have limited space or you don't want to dedicate disk space on your internal hard disk drive to a Windows installation
    What this guide will make you do:
    It will make you erase all your data from your external USB3/Thunderbolt hard drive
    It will make you install Windows on your external USB3/Thunderbolt hard drive
    It will make you install bootcamp drivers
    What this will not make you do:
    It will not make you modify anything on your internal Mac hard drive
    It will not make you use or install the bootcamp assistant
    It will not activate the Preference Pane for the default boot drive. You have to boot by pressing the ALT key to manually select your boot drive each tome you want to boot Windows.
    What you'll need
    An external hard drive with a USB3 and/or Thunderbolt connector. This drive will be formatted so ensure you saved your files before going further. You can use either an SSD drive or a classic hard drive.
    A Windows 7 or 8 install DVD or ISO (check whether to install 32 or 64 bits versions based on your Bootcamp drivers) and the corresponding Windows serial number.
    One of the following:
    Mac OS X with a Windows 7 or 8 Virtual Machine (use VMWare Fusion or Parallels Desktop for example. Note: VMWare Fusion seems to have some issues with Thunderbolt and USB3. Plug your drive to a USB2 enclosure or hub to work around this -it worked for me-, or use another VM software) → Read the important note below
    A PC running Windows 7 or 8 → Read the important note below
    Windows AIK (free) running on your Virtual Machine or on your PC, or just the imagex.exe file (the rest of the Windows AIK package is not needed)
    Download imagex.exe
    Download Windows AIK (this download and installation is not required if you have already downloaded imagex.exe)
    Bootcamp drivers for your Mac. You can get these either by running bootcamp from your Mac (Applications > Utilities > Bootcamp) or, if like me you have a 3TB drive and can't run bootcamp at all, use the direct download links here.
    A USB stick to store your bootcamp drivers
    IMPORTANT: If your Mac has a 64 bits processor, your Windows Virtual Machine on OSX, your Windows installation on your PC and your Windows DVD/ISO must also be in 64 bits!
    Step by Step guide
    Step 1: Get the install.wim file
    If you have a Windows ISO file:
    Mount the ISO
    If you're on OS X: double click on the ISO file
    If you're on on Windows 7: Use a software like Virtual Clone Drive (free)
    If you're on Windows 8: double click on the ISO file
    Open the mounted drive, then go to the "sources" folder and locate the "install.wim" file. Save this file to C:\wim\ on your Windows installation or virtual machine.
    If you have a Windows DVD: open the "sources" folder on the DVD and locate the "install.wim" file. Save this file to C:\wim\ on your Windows installation or virtual machine.
    IMPORTANT: If instead of a "install.wim" file, you have "install.esd", you can not continue this step by step guide. And an ESD file can not be converted into a WIM file. So you must get a version of the Windows installation DVD/ISO that has an install.wim file.
    Step 2: Clean, partition and format your external hard drive
    On your Windows installation or virtual machine, plug in your external hard drive (can be plugged using USB2, USB3 or Thunderbolt at this stage)
    Open the command prompt in administrator mode (cmd.exe). To run it in administrator mode, right click on cmd.exe > Run as admin.
    Type the following and hit enter to open the disk partitioner utility:
    diskpartType the following and hit enter to list your drives:
    list disk
    This will display a list of disks mounted on your computer or virtual machine. Make sure your drive is listed here before you continue.Identify the disk ID of your external hard drive. Replace # by your real external disk ID in the command below:
    select disk #Clean all partitions by typing the following (warning: this will erase all data from your external drive!):
    clean
    Create the boot parition by typing the following followed by the enter key:
    create partition primary size=350
    This will create a 350MB partition on your external driveFormat the partition in FAT32 by typing the following:
    format fs=fat32 quick
    Set this partition to active by typing:
    active
    Assign a letter to mount this partition. We will use letter B in our example. If B is already used on your PC, replace B by any other available letter:
    assign letter=b
    Windows will detect a new drive and probably display a pop-up. Ignore that.Create the Windows installation partition using all the remaining space available on the external drive by typing the following:
    create partition primary
    Format the new partition in NTFS:
    format fs=ntfs quick
    Assign a letter to mount this partition. We will use letter O in our example. If O is already used on your PC, replace O by any other available letter:
    assign letter=o
    Windows will detect a new drive and probably display a pop-up. Ignore that.Exit the disk partitioner utility by typing:
    exit
    Step 3: Deploy the Windows installation image
    Still using the command prompt in admin mode (you didn't close it, did you? ), locate the imagex.exe file mentioned in the "What you'll need" section and access its folder. In our example, we have put this file in C:\imagex\imagex.exe
    Type the following and hit enter (remember to replace o: with the letter you have chosen in the previous step):
    imagex.exe /apply C:\wim\install.wim 1 o:
    This will take some time. The Windows installation image is being deployed to your external driveOnce done, type the following to create the boot section (remember to replace o: and b: with the letters you've chosen in the previous step):
    o:\windows\system32\bcdboot o:\windows /f ALL /s b:
    If you get an error message saying that you can't run this program on your PC, then most probably you are running on a 32 bits installation of windows and you're trying to deploy a 64 bits install. This means you did not read the important notes in the beginning of this guide
    If you get an error message on the options that can be used with the BCDBOOT command, then it's because you're installing Windows 7, and the /f option is not supported. If that is the case, remove /f ALL from the command and retry.
    Step 4: Boot from your external drive and install Windows
    Plug in your external drive:
    If you've done all the previous steps from a Windows PC, unplug your external drive from your PC and plug it to your Mac, either on a USB3 or a Thunderbolt port.
    If you've done all the previous steps from your Mac using a Virtual Machine, ensure the external drive is plugged in to a USB3 or Thunderbolt port. Using USB2 should also work but you'll get very poor performance so I don't recommend doing that.
    Reboot your Mac and once the bootup sound is over, immediately press the ALT (option) key and release it only when the boot drives selection screen appears. If you did not get the boot drives selection screen, reboot and try again. The timing to press the ALT (option) key is quite short. It must not be too early or too late.
    On the boot selection screen, choose "Windows" using the arrow keys on your keyboard, then press enter.
    The Windows installation starts. Follow the on-screen instructions as normal. The installation program will restart your computer one or 2 times. Don't forget to press ALT (option) right after the bootup sound, and boot on Windows again each time to continue the installation.
    Step 5: Install bootcamp drivers
    Once the Windows installation is complete, plug in the USB stick where you stored the bootcamp drivers (see "what you'll need" section), open it and right click on "setup.exe" and select "Run as admin". Follow the on-screen instructions.If you have an error saying that you can't run this program on this PC, obviously you have installed a 32 bits version of Windows and the bootcamp drivers for your Mac are made for a 64 bits version. You have to restart the whole guide and make sure to get a 64 bits version of Windows this time!
    Once the bootcamp drivers are all installed, reboot and press ALT (option) after the bootup sound to boot on Windows again. And Voilà, you have Windows installed on your USB3/Thunderbolt drive running on your Mac.
    Now each time you want to boot on Windows, press and hold the ALT (option) key after the startup sound and select "Windows", then press Enter.

    Hi i'm trying to follow your guide, I installed windows 8 on bootcamp to do it planning to remove it after the operation is done, but i get stuck at part 3: every command i give to imagex i get a pop-up ftom windws asking how do I want to open this kind of file install.wim and imagex does nothing, what do i have to do to stop those pop-ups?
