Noob help with bootcamp

Hi
So recentley i got my first mac which is the late 2013 27 inch with a i7 processor and a nvidia gtx780 gpu and so far im loving it. Ok so i want to put windows 8 which i have on a cd on to my mac. It will have to be from usb as it does not have a cd drive so i was wondering if there was any guides to help me do this or if one of you could be helpfull. Thanks in advance and sorry if it is a stupid question.

  • Noob help with workflow

    hi. Noob here.. so forgive my stupidity !! 
    what I am trying to achieve is this ... trying to get infopath form submission repeating values into a sharepoint library as fields.
    So I have managed to get the following fields promoted to sharepoint.
    Product - product1;product2;product 3;product 4
    Price - £50;£60;£70;£80
    Qty - 1;50;10;60
    How can I parse these strings and extract the substrings into list fields ? Can I do this with a workflow ?
    Appreciate any help with this ! thanks

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to use the workflow to extract the substrings.
    To achieve your scenario, we should first retrieve the data from the InfoPath form.
    If your workflow is running on an InfoPath form, you can use the technique described in How to retrieve InfoPath form data in a SharePoint
    workflow.
    If your workflow is running on a list item or document that is not an InfoPath form, you will have to download the InfoPath form from the library in which it is located, and use XPath expressions to access and modify data in the form. See 
    Specifying namespaces to use XPath queries in InfoPath for examples.
    Then we can use the Utility Actions, such as the
    Extract Substring from Index of String to extrach the substrings.
    There is a good article, you can hava a look at it.

  • 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 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.

  • Help with Bootcamp (Speakers and mighty mouse scroll wheel not working)

    So I just loaded bootcamp onto my macbook but I'm having some problems.  First, my scroll bar on my mighty mouse doesn't work when in Windows.  The only help I've seen online has been for those who haven't yet loaded windows.  Can I still download a driver that will help me out?  My speakers also are not working and the Realtek driver that everyone said worked for them didn't work for me.  Advice?

    Sorry, this is not possible in the current version of Firefox, but we have an open bug report where we are tracking this issue here:
    https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=686228
    With luck it will be fixed in a future version.

  • 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 with Bootcamp, Superduper and Winclone.... drivn me a little nutz

    Okay..
    I just got a 17" and I used Superdupe to clone my 15" and used Winclone to do the same for my windows partition.
    I bought a new 500 gig hard drive and formatted it. I formatted it to Mac OS Extended Journaled with just one partition.
    After cloning (2 hours or so..) - I restarted with the new hard drive in the new 17" and went to bootcamp and it says...
    "The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition. Restore your information to the disk and try using Boot Camp Assistant again."
    Ok - so I went back to disk utility and did it all over again - making sure there is just one partition... now after 2 hours and super duper working again.. I am getting the same message from Boot Camp..
    Any help!!! I just did this about a month ago and did not have this problem.. I think what I did last time was partition the drive in Mac and boot in windows and make the partition a windows format.. which I think worked.. but I cant remember..
    Its about to drive me nutz..
    thanks!

  • Noob Help with inserting frame- is there a better way

    Hi,
    I am trying to create a frame in dreamweaver mx, but rather
    than have a whole frameset, i just want 1 frame. (i dont know if i
    am going about it the wring way).
    The page is at this link
    http://www.cryptomnesian.com/CryptomWebPage.html
    I want the large box with the KPA to become the main content
    box (this would eb the framed box), so that the mp3 player in the
    top would not reload when a link was clicked. The links would
    hopefully load up a new box.
    Are frames the best way to so for this?? I am a noobie as far
    as frames and css goes. Any suggestions or solutions much
    appreciated.
    Thanks,

  • Noob Help with While Loop

    Sorry for the "Noob"-ness on this one. I am working on a program for class and I am having a problem with a while loop. So I opened a new document and began to code a while loop that is basic to test my while looping skill. Apparrently, I have none. Can anyone tell me why this While Loop will not work:
    public class test
         public static void main(String[] args)
         int LoanTerm = 0;
              while (LoanTerm < 3);
                   System.out.println (LoanTerm);
                   LoanTerm++;
    Thanks.
    FatherVic

    to explain, the ; means that the while loop body is empty, and you will just spin forever testing whether LoanTerm < 3, without doing anything else.

  • Help with bootcamp please!

    So this is like the 4th time ive posted this, but anyway, here is my problem: I'm using boot camp to install windows 7 on my macbook pro (17" early 2011 model). I'm using the same usb i used to install windows 7 onto my other mac (which worked without error). But on this macbook pro, I go through the boot camp instructions, created a bootable USB (modified files to enable this on my macbook pro. i did this because my cd drive will not work and my only option was to a usb). Partitioned my hard drive, then when it reboots, it boots into a black screen with the message "no bootable device, please insert boot disk and press any key." I have never seen this prompt before, I really need to get windows onto this mac. (PS i know i can just shut down and press alt to boot into osx, but i want to start the windows 7 install, which it will not let me.) So i contacted apple support on this issue and they told me that it must be due to the fact that the iso i used was damaged. the iso i used was dl'ed off the internet so i said to myself "well maybe thats what it is." so i got my friends external cd drive and his original purchased copy of WINDOWS 8 and tried installing windows via boot camp with that. this took away the no bootable device error, but created a new one. when my drive was done partitioning, and boots into what is supposed to be the installer, it boots into a black screen with just a blinking underscore. so i let it sit for a while, nothing happened. so now what i'm trying is creating an iso of the windows 8 disc and using that iso to create a bootable usb. i will post what happens if anyone is interested. what is causing this "no bootable device" error? apple told me that i can use a usb on my computer to install windows, so why is it doing this?
    thanks to anyone who replies.
    please reply..
    please...

    So i got windows 8 to work, but when installing windows, the part where u have to format the drive to ntsf, i click the advanced options, click format, it finishes (fairly quick) and the next button is still greyed out... any help there?

  • Noob help with screen icons

    I just got an 8830 and have fumbled through figuring out what most of the icons are. I read all the manuals and asked Sprint for help. They were stumped. I figured out the message icon and how to clear it but sometimes instead of a yellow envelope, it looks like a wireline drawing of an envelope. There are other icons that there is no way to figure out what they are.
    For example, next to bluetooth icon, there is something that looks like a crosshair for a rifle scope, next to it, something that looks like speaker waves. Sprint was as clueless as I was.
    Is there a sticky or something that could guide us noobs through the unknown icon jungle?

    Click here, I think you have a text message: 8800 home screen indicators
    For example, next to Bluetooth icon, there is something that looks like a crosshair for a rifle scope, next to it, something that looks like speaker waves. Sprint was as clueless as I was.
    That would be your GPS icon. When you have the ))) waves that means it's on. I turn it off when I don't need it.
    It saves both battery and memory. Go to the options icon, click on it, advanced options, GPS.
    To turn off and on toggle GPS service to 911 or location on location aiding to enabled, disabled.

  • Needing help with Bootcamp Drivers on my late 2009 27" iMac running windows 7 64-bit.

    Hey, installed Windows 7 on my late 2009 27" iMac (Have previously done so and worked flawlessly, magic mouse could scroll etc) but had to remove the partition as I required more of my hard drive than anticipated, so I removed the partition and went to install Windows, everything worked fine until I wanted to install the bootcamp drivers, to which it said that my Mac doesnt support 64-bit... which it does as I've been running it for months with no problems whatsoever. Would appreciate if someone could tell me which version of bootcamp would be best to install and how to do so if the procedure isn't that simple. Also I get no sound from the Windows partition, as I get a red light from the audio Jack, which is clearly from the lack of drivers as it works fine on the OS X partition.
    I have snow leopard install discs handy although the version of bootcamp on that differed from the one I had, which was much better.

    Did you download the correct drivers for your Mac? The Late 2009 iMac needs these drivers > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1630
