  • I need help transferring Bootcamp (Windows XP) from my old Macbook Pro to the new one. How do I make bootable clone of Bootcamp?

    Hi I just got a new MacBook Pro I need help transferring Bootcamp (Windows XP) from my old Macbook Pro to my new Macbook Pro  Mac OS X 10.7.4  2.6 Ghz Intel Core 17. How do I make bootable clone of Bootcamp?

    you can't just move XP even if you took the hard drive and have Windows boot and function.
    Apparently there are Windows tools to sanitize the OS and strip all the motherboard drivers and services.
    Time to get a supported OS. Don't want to pay, then use 8 for the time until it goes on sale.
    There are no drivers for even Vista on 2011 and later Macs.

  • I need help installing bootcamp

    I need help installing Bootcamp. Can I take it into the Apple store for help to do this?

    You're not installing Boot Camp, it's already on your Mac, you are installing Windows into a Boot Camp created partition.
    Start by reading the Boot Camp directions, and back up your Mac before you do.

  • Just coming from Win and need Help with bootcamp/parallels+general osx stuf

    Well I absolutely love my Mac. I'm just having some problems affording it financially, but when I compare this new MacBook Pro to other like computers, there's a very very small difference in the hardware, and Im usually building laptops that are similiar to this for around 2k anyways. So I'm not 100% sure if I'll keep this or not, and maybe settle for cheaper PC that's under 1.5k (because Apple charges you a 10% open box fee) and buy a mac when I'm in a better position, or just keep this and see what I can do.
    But a few of the things that are making me miss a PC might push me toward a cheaper PC. And so maybe someone here can help me out before I make a decision.
    First off, is there anything that's the equivalent to a disk defragmentor for OSX?
    Second, is the graphics card really powerful in this Macbook 15 inch 2.4 ghz (the newest one)
    Im also having a problem with this keyboard and my favorite game. Basically I need to hold down certain keys (control, alt, shift and space) in order to use skills. But for some reason when I hold down any of these buttons, it only reads it once. So I have to push it every time I'd say, want to heal myself or hit a monster... and that might not seem like a lot but if you play a game for 1 hour + (I'd usually play around 4 hours) it's going to absolutely kill my fingers and make playing the game take a lot longer.
    Now I'm using parallels (the only way to play my game) and whenever I try to install a new KB, because I've found out that the way a KB is wired will determine whether or not you can spam a key or not (Like a cheap USB one wont work, but a more expensive logitech one allows you to) but it either
    1) Crashes Parallels and my Win VM
    or
    2) It sets up whatever kb I use to be used with Mac OSX's drivers which means no matter what the KB is, ctrl alt space and shift cant be spammed.
    I'm also unable to use FRAPS, a PC video capturing program used for games while running parallels. My FPS constantly dips to 0 which lags me in the game, and I can't find a good recording program thats OSX side and that works while Parallels is running (I emailed parallels about what vid they used in their demo but no response)
    Now if use bootcamp, will I have nothing to worry about? Will all of the hardware act like it should act natively on a PC? As in will my nVidia graphics card act like it normally would on a PC instead of it being some kind of virtualized hardware or something like on parallels?
    Thanks for the help guys... 2 weeks to decide on whether or not I keep th is laptop....

    The graphics card is a higher performance GPU than the X1600 in the previous MBP models. As for "really powerful" you don't provide any basis for comparison. Visit the ATI site to find out the specifications for the model.
    Well I understand that much. I just mean as far as a graphics card in general goes, is it strong enough to support a variety of games (both PC and Mac)? This is my first computer without a crappy intergrated graphics card which could barely handle games from the late 1990s.
    As for keyboard shortcuts I'm not sure if you're referring a Mac or a PC game. However, this reference may help. If the game is a Mac version you'll need to contact the game's developer about any problems with how to use the game on a Mac. If you read the Parallels documentation it will explain how to generate any special keyboard characters when in Windows.
    Umm it's not that. Like I first figured out this problem with all electronics in general when I was a kid playing with one of those press and speak books. What I found out was that, let's pretend there were 3 buttons. One was cow going moo, one was a cat meowing and one was a dog barking. If you held down the Cow button and pressed the Cat button, the cow would still Moo. If you held down the Cow and press the dog button, the cow would still moo. However if you pressed and held the cat button, then pressed the cow button the cat would stop meowing, and the moo would override it.
    That same principle applies to keyboards from what I've seen. I know there are some keyboards where I can use the control button and the alt button at the same time, and some keyboard I can't use. I can't blame the game, because there ARE keyboards that work the way I want it to. And I'm not talking about keyboard shortcuts. Pressing Control+Alt isn't a shortcut in a game, just two different commands. Like one is jump, one is attack. In the game you can Jump and Attack with some keyboards, some keyboards only let you jump or attack.
    Another example is if I put my jump key on the letter "a" and if I hold a, I jump over and over until I let go. but if I put jump to my space bar, I jump once then stop. For some reason it won't repeat keys while in a game. Same goes for other buttons, ctrl, shift, and alt.
    Does that make things a little more clear?
    but what I'm going to do is try my mac keyboard on a PC and see if it has the same limitations.
    If Parallels is crashing either you have a faulty installation, your OS X installation is corrupted, or you have not allocated sufficient RAM for the VM. You need at least 2 GBs of installed RAM to use virtualization software and should allocate at least 384 MBs or RAM to Windows XP and 512 MBs to Vista. If you have only 1 GB of RAM installed your system won't be very stable when you try to run Parallels with Windows on 384 or 512 MBs of RAM.
    I have the newest 15 inch which has gigs. And I've tried setting Parallels to both 1 and 512 (windows xp) and I worded the problem wrong. Parallels doesnt crash, parallels runs fine. What happens is Windows XP gets the blue screen of death whenever I try to install a usb device. Since I can't find a logitech keyboard that has drivers/software for a mac, I tried using a Windows one and tried installing it on my XP... and thats when I got the BSOD
    Parallels uses all the native Mac hardware via the virtualization software. No special Mac drivers are required nor special Windows drivers.
    If you cannot run a Windows program in Parallels it's not a problem with OS X. Complain to Parallels.
    It's not that a program isn't running. It's running fine, it's just my FPS gets really low. What I'm trying to figure out is if my graphics card isn't good enough in general, or if it's not good enough to handle parallels and osx and a game with a video capture all at once.
    Boot Camp runs Windows natively on the hardware just as if you were using any other dedicated Windows hardware. "Will I have nothing to worry about?" I don't know. Boot Camp provides the necessary Windows drivers for all currently produced Intel Macs. You can install Windows XP with Service Pak 2 or Vista. Read the Boot Camp documentation to find out more.
    Well I meant will I have nothing to worry about as in, will my graphics card be as effective on my bootcamped win XP as it would be if it was a native XP laptop, or will it be slightly less effective since it was based for a mac intel computer... does that make sense or do I need to reword it?

  • Need help Uninstalling iPhoto 6

    Another bummed out iLife 06 customer. I had to uninstall iMovie 6 because it was sluggish and crashing. So with that said, I did uninstall iMovie 6 only... and back to normal.... almost. My problem is I can't get to my pictures now that I am running imovie 5. Can anyone help me unistall iPhoto 6?
    Thanks a million to who ever can help me with this.

    Alberto,
    iLife: Cannot See iPhoto Files in Other iLife Applications
    If this doesn't work try this:1 - delete the iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie and iDVD preference files. Also delete the com.apple.iApps.plist file in your User/Library/Preferences folder.
    2 - open the iApps in the following order: iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie, then iDVD.
    If that doesn't work then rebuild your iPhoto Library:
    Try this:
    Before doing a rebuild make sure iPhoto's trash bin is emptied. You can do this by control clicking on the trash bin, or from the menu bar under iPhoto.
    Close iPhoto
    Duplicate the iPhoto Library folder
    Drag the duplicate to the desktop (hopefully you have enough room on your hard drive for the duplicate.)
    Launch iPhoto holding down the Command and Option keys until you see the rebuild options screen.
    Choose the first three options. If you were missing photos in your library, also choose the last option. Be advised that you will get a roll of orphaned photos and it might be quite huge. Most of them will already be in your iPhoto library, but use caution when deleting anything from this roll until you are sure the photos are still in your library in another place. It might be a good idea to share/export this roll of photos just in case you need to import them again.
    Back to the rebuild, depending on the size of your library it might take some time. When it is done, hopefully your photos will be there.
    You might see some unexpected results as I did when I did a rebuild. Photos had been moved to wrong dates, video clips had lost their duration info and some were even orphaned from the jpg pointer file. It took me some time to straighten it out again.
    This is the reason to make a duplicate before you rebuild, in case you do not like the result. If you don't like the result, close iPhoto, then delete the rebuilt library and drag the duplicate back into the Pictures folder making sure the name is iPhoto Library. Launch iPhoto and it should open the library in the Pictures folder.

  • Need help with Bootcamp 1.2 and firmware on my MB

    Boot Camp Assistant 1.1 was working fine but I decided to update it with version 1.2 for the new drivers after it came out. I trashed the Boot Camp Assistant.app from the utilities folder and ran the 1.2 installer. The upgrade appeared to go fine but when I run Boot Camp Assistant.app I only get "Boot Camp Assistant cannot be used: You must update your computer's boot ROM firmware before using this setup assistant".
    When I check the FW on my MB I find that I have:
    Boot ROM Version: MB11.0061.B02
    SMC Version: 1.4f12
    When I look on Apple's support pages I find that the latest Boot ROM version for my machine is MB11.0061.B03. I guessed that this is why Boot Camp 1.2 was not working but didn't understand why I had not received any update message from the automatic update utility.
    I decided to manually update the firmware and downloaded the appropriate file from http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macbookefifirmwareupdate10.html
    My surprise was big when I was going to run the update and I got "ALERT: This computer does not need this update".
    I don't know what to do now. I have tried to reinstall Boot Camp 1.2 without been able to run it. Why cannot I update to MB11.0061.B03?
    I appreciate your help. Thanks a lot.

    I have been trying to find the place where it says that the firmware update must be applied before bootcamp and I really don't find this info. Could you please point me to where you have read this information?
    To re-install OS-X is a painfull process for me because I don't have access to all the appz that I have installed from where I am at the momment, I would have to wait to come back to my work base and ask for the CDs again and this is not possible until maybe 4 months.
    I really think that re-partitioning and re-installing everything just for installing a firmware update is really extreme. I could delete the XP partition using Boot Camp assistant 1.1.2b after moving it from the trash (it still works) for putting my drive as it was before bootcamp and try the FW update then, but what confuses me is why am I getting a "Your computer does not need this update" message in stead of "There is a problem trying to install this update"?.
    Thank you very much.

  • I need help uninstalling the recent download I did of Adobe Flash Player.

    I recently installed the newest update for Adobe Flash Player for my computer, but by doing so it no longer works for anything that I do.
    I saw in the help that there is a way to uninstall the latest version and download an older version of it. Reading the instructions and then doing them is difficult for me, especially when it involves something as intense as this.
    I was wondering if there was a way that I could get the instructions given to me verbally by a representative, say, over the phone. Because my biggest fear I'm having right now is that by doing it myself, I'm going to screw up royally and just make things even worse than they already are.
    If this is possible in any way, shape, or form, that would be awesome and make me feel 1,000,000 times better. This has been an issue I've been having with my computer for a week and a half now, and I would REALLY like to rectify it and make it better.
    Please, and thank you.

  • Need help with " BOOTCAMP" after trying to install windows 7

    I have a problem. I was trying to install windows 7 on my MBP, i followed all of the instructions. When i was trying to install the cd it was asking me in what partition that i wanted to install the drivers Partition 0, 1, 2, 3 etc. I had to create a new one and it asked me and gave me and option that it will need to erase mac(journaled) and it gave me another option to create a new volumen, the one that i erased was mac(journaled) i don't know if i was supposed to or not. Now when i click the BOOTCAMP to start the windows set up this is the message that pops up " The startup disk must be formatted as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume or already partitioned by Boot Camp Assistant for installing Windows. "
    I tried everything and it is till doing the same thing i don't know what to do !! if somebody can help me i will very much appreciated.
    Another thing i did not mention. The message started showing up after i click the option erase and mac(journaled) and create a new one and after i installed mac os x 10.5.7 in the bootcamp partition.

    Used Boot Camp Assistant only, and not Disk Utility, to create one volume for Windows? you wouldn't want to erase and use mac extended journaled.
    At this point, you will need to initialize your drive and restore from TimeMachine as one HFS+ partition and redo with BCA.

  • Need help uninstalling CS5

    I downloaded a trial version of both Photoshop and InDesign CS5 and don't have room for either on my computer right now, though I might buy them some time in the future. But I need them off of my computer, yet every time I click "uninstall" nothing happens. I successfully uninstalled Photoshop yesterday, but had to system restore so it's back on my computer. How can I get rid of these programmes? I see the Creative Suite Cleaner tool, but it says you have to uninstall the programme first... All help greatly appreciated!

    I am having a problem uninstalling Photoshop cs5. I will start at start, control panel, add or remove. I will then double click adobe photo shop cs5 , click remove. I will then click remove preferences or and uninstall. The message will read, Please close all of the following application to continue.
              .  Adobe Bride CS5 (Bridge.exe)
    But there is nothing open and Adobe Bridge is not on the bottom of the the screen.  How can I uninstall CS5.

  • Need help uninstalling Acrobat 9.0 Pro (including registry entries)

    Hello;
    I installed Acrobat Pro 9.0 and am not happy with it and want to COMPLETELY uninstall it. I was able to uninstall it using Add/Remove Programs, but I can see that there are still some left-over registry entries related to Adobe Acrobat 9 (this was the only Acrobat product installed on my system).
    Does anyone know how to completekly remove all traces of Acrobat from one's system, including all registry entries? I cannot find anything on the Adobe website, and am looking for similar instructions that were posted for Acrobat 8 (kb400658)
    I'm running Windows XP SP3.
    Thanks very much in advance for any help/advice offered.
    Regards, smeghead99

    Thanks for that suggestion. I tried using the Microsoft Installer Utility but I can still see Acrobat entries in my registry.
    Surely a step-by-step set of instructions to completely uninstall Adobe products (as was put together for Acrobat 8) should be made available by Adobe?
    Thanks in advance to those who offer help.

  • Need Help Uninstalling PP CS4 Trial

    I have had CS4 Design Standard on my pc for a while now.  I recently downloaded the trial version of Premiere Pro CS4 which has now expired.  I have decided not to purchase it and would like to uninstall it (it takes up a lot of space that I would like back).  When I begin the uninstall I'm brought to the "Choose Products to Uninstall" screen.  In this screen when I choose to uninstall Encore CS4, OnLocation CS4 and Premiere Pro CS4 it automatically selects to uninstall Bridge CS4, Speech Analysis Models, Device Central CS4, Extension Manager CS4, and several Supporting Components which include fonts, scripts, update manager, etc.  How can I uninstall Premiere Pro without uninstalling these programs which I assume are needed for the rest of my CS4 programs to function properly?  I've included two images as an example.  Thanks in advance...

    I'm still having an issue with the uninstaller and would like to get this off of my computer.  Does anyone out there know how to prevent it from uninstalling the shared files??
