OS X & Bootcamp or W7 and EasyBCD?
Am I right in thinking that Bootcamp is limited to Windows?
Can one install a linux flavour using Bootcamp?
Should Bootcamp (Snow Leopard) allow one to install any OS under its management?
With a Mac Pro you can do lots of things easily. Even without Boot Camp or Boot Camp Assistant.
Ubuntu, SuSE, or any flavor, along with Windows 7.
Have you looked at the forums on Ubuntu yet?

Can you use a hard drive to run bootcamp off it and also use it as a time capsule?
Hello,
i'm running out of space on my macbook air, so i was woundering if i could buy a portable hard drvie and use it for storage as well as to run bootcamp off it and use windows 8. But then will I be able to also use it as general storage?lauren_gibb wrote:

You mean Time Machine.. Yes, you can use an external drive for TM.. but you cannot use TM to backup the Windows partition. Use a windows software for that. You can use TM to a partition on the external drive for backup of the internal drive of the Air.
The partition has to be formatted HFS+ to work.
And it should be separate to the main partition you are using to boot to win8.. although I am not sure of all the details of that. As I have lots of windows computers around me do never dual boot a machine. -
Can I keep BootCamp as is and upgrade from Tiger to Leopard?
Just about to move to Leopard, and wondering if I can just leave my BootCamp as is and will it work with Leopard. I've got BootCamp 1.3 and will upgrade to 1.4 - but then want to install Leopard. OK I'm guessing I can leave it and then install the version of BootCamp which (I believe) comes with Leopard-- and which (I believe) is no longer a "Beta", rather a standard issue version.
Any comments appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve
Friday 26 October 2007I have a problem after upgrading to Leopard.
I was using BC 1.2 as I forgot to update the drivers to the latest version then, before 26th Oct.
I bought and upgraded to Leopard today and whenever I boot into Windows XP, 10 seconds into the XP desktop a small (it doesnt fill up the whole screen) "blue screen of death" pops up in the middle for a split second (not enough time for me to tell what the error msg was) and the system restarts itself.
I have tried thrice so fast and still am not successful in performing tasks in XP. I play games mostly in XP.
Anyone has encountered this? -
Bootcamp 3.2 and Windows Drivers 2.2
Hi all,
i'm a little bit confused: There's Bootcamp 3.2 and there are seperate Windows Drivers (current Version 2.2).
So, does the Bootcamp 3.2 update include a Windows drivers that are included in the 2.2 version of the drivers download?
Since i updated to Bootcamp 3.2 i have some issues like: Display drivers issue an error (NVIDIA display panel extension can't be loaded), also NVIDIA desktop manager can't be opened (i worked fine when running Bootcamp 3.0).
I thought about running the Drivers 2.2 update, too but since it's nearly 1 year older than the Bootcamp 3.2 update i didn't do so.
Just in case: i'm on a MacBook Pro running Windows XP (NVIDIA GeForce 9400 M, Driver version 6.14.11.8861).
Thanks: LarsHi,
it's easy to get confused.
The 2.x Driver packages were introduced with OSX 10.5 Leopard.
The 3.x Driver packages were introduced with OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard.
When you have the 3.2 Drivers installed you are up to date with the Drivers Apple provides.
Nonetheless, especially the Graphics Drivers "outdate" the moment they are released.
There might be a newer / better driver for the 9400 M avaiable at Nvidias website.
As always with driver updates: have/make a backup before or at least a 'System Restore Point'. Just in case.

After install Win7 I can't find MacOS in bootcamp menu. And when i'm press alt at start I can watch just 1 OS. How to return to MacOS
Hmm, then it seems Windows is trying to use a video driver that doesn't work with the one in your Mac.
Try a safe mode start in Windows. Restart and boot to Windows. If you're doing that from the startup manager (holding down the Option key and choosing the Win 7 partition), select the Windows disk and immediately start pressing the F8 key. If the Mac is trying to boot to Windows right at a restart or startup, then start hitting F8 the instant the hardware chime bongs.
Rather than the normal Win 7 splash screen (which from the sounds of things, you're not even seeing that), you will get a DOS screen of boot options. Chose Safe Mode and continue. This will force Windows to use the bare bones video driver and you should get to a desktop you can see.
Now install the initial Boot Camp drivers. -

The Prob is def with Mac 10.5.1 Get bootcamp install XP and wireless works.
I have all the problems everyone is having on here as well. But you know what? I Boot into XP and wireless works fine. Apparently apple makes better drivers for Windows then there own OS I thought mac was suppose to just "work" Then to find if I login with xp it just, "works" what am i to believe now haha
I really hate using XP but its the only way I can connect to the net consistently ...
My mac is all like "Wait i found a connection..." "ok i found it" "ok let me connect" "ok im connected... but... wait not really" "i know it looks like im connected but I am going to make you sad"
It does make me sad
BTW I have tried every single option/config possible. Nothing works. BC you know what? It should just "WORK"
Ill sit humbly on xp till this gets fix but for now just wait it outTime: This has been discussed a lot; Mac OS and Windows read your computer's clock differently. See http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6271964�

In using bootcamp to partition and install Windows on my computer, I keep hitting a snag. Message says that partitioning can not be completed because files can not be moved. I have tried several things but nothing seems to be helping to move the process along. What should I do?
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
In most of the cases, that message appears when there's a problem with the filesystem, so you have to repair the disk. This doesn't mean that the hard drive is damaged.
First of all, open > About this Mac, and check Version. If it's 10.5 or 10.6, insert the Mac OS X DVD of the version you are using and press C key while your Mac is starting. If it's 10.7 or 10.8, press Command and R keys while your Mac is starting. After doing this:
1. Go to Utilities menu > Disk Utility (if you have 10.5 or 10.6) or open Disk Utility (10.7 and 10.8).
2. Choose Macintosh HD in the sidebar and repair the disk.
3. Restart, open Boot Camp Assistant and follow the steps to install Windows on the Mac -
Bootcamp 3.1 and imac windows 7 64bit update not installing. Audio issues!
After many days of work getting the windows 7 working in bootcamp in my imac 27 (still with audio issues) I eagerly awaited the bootcamp update and imac updates.
Neither will install.
Then I find that according to tech support as of now I have to reinstall Windows 7 again for the updates to work!
It took me 5 full 8 hours days to get all my scientific programs installed and working, now I find I can't even simply update the drivers I need. I don't want to reinstall.
My only issues are audio.
Here they are:
1) The headset jack works fine on the Mac side, but in Windows 7, it causes the i7 intel CPU to go crazy. There is no CPU spike on the mac side.
2) The headset jack in the imac is a trrs jack. The same as in the iphone, a tri-band jack that has three bands, two audio out channels and one mic in channel. A trrs headset works fine on the mac side with using the headset mic (as in iphone) rather than the built in mic. (this provides much better quality for sound recording). I don't want to use a usb mike.
In Windows 7 the mic part of the trrs headset does not work.
3) In Windows 7 when going into audio devices recording, no audio mixer shows up, so when I do video or audio screen capture the only way to capture the sound is through the speakers and then back through the imac built in mic, rather than directly through the unit. (terrible sound quality) On the mac side the mixer element works fine.
Now I find from other imac users that even the new updates for the imac on windows 7 don't address and fix the audio issues. I am sure not going to go through 5 more days work only to find the audio issues still don't work.
I need these audio aspects to work properly though!
I have tried to get drivers for the cirrus logic audio card, but guess what there are none available and cirrus logic doesn't even recognize the board or offer drivers.
I have many windows programs I must have for my scientific research!I bought the top of the line Imac with all the bells and whistles because Apple promised that the machine could run Windows 7 in bootcamp natively!
It doesn't. This has been a nightmare of problems.
Is Apple going to step up to the plate and make good on their promises?
Does any one have a fix for any of the audio issues, or know how to install the new drivers without a complete reinstall of Windows?
Installing a few sound drivers and software should not require a complete reinstall. Getting the proper drivers for the headset jack audio in and audio out jack should be the most basic of fixes. Making the audio mixer work should be elementary.
If you are an Apple tech person or an Apple user that can help on these issues, please do!
Thanks, Dr. Duke

PS I will post this under Imac windows 7 updates without a reinstall and under
imac Sound issues.On another thread a few people have responded saying that their imac has the same situation, the cpu is going crazy and the imac gets hot with headphones or speakers plugged in. But this doesn't happen in the mac side.
If you have an late 2009 imac and don't have these audio issues, let us hear from you. If you don't, lay out the problem here.
Here is my last two cents in to the inquiry.
Not only does the cpu run crazy but the imac 27 gets very, very hot. Since I unplugged the headphones, it runs much, much cooler.
Certainly, some Mac engineers should take care of this problem, it seems it is universal on all the imac 27's and from what I gather, the smaller screened cousins too.
Also, we certainly want a stereo mix option for audio in or out, or what is called "what you hear" or wave out. Imac is supposed to be much geared to multimedia apps.
Finally, the mic jack part of the trrs set up MUST be fixed! A lot of manufacturers are going to headset combo jacks as they call them, mic in and stereo out on the same tribanded plug. But, the old single jack for mic in and single jack for stereo out are two tiny parts of the hardware and super inexpensive for the manufacturer. Why in the **** to go to the "advanced" triplug if the **** thing doesn't work.
Mac has a great reputation. I hope they remedy these problems right away.
Anyone whose imac 27 or 24 whose headset plug is working correctly. Let us know! I don't think anyone's is, but I think that few people understand that their cpu is running so much faster with the plug in, plus few even understand the combo jack and the triband, or trrs audio jack! Out of 4 audio technicians I talked to, not one of them knew what a trrs jack was or that you even have a mic in jack as part of the headset jack!
When I told one senior that it worked on the Mac side, he didn't believe for a while, thought my sound might be recorded from the onboard mic, but I proved it to him by tapping iaudibly on my iphone mic headset and and it showing up in garage band clearly and listening to big difference in audio.
As for a usb audio adapter, I am in a neon light environment and find that those adapters are more sensitive to electrical interference. Besides I want to use the headset jack as it was meant to be used!
Thats it.
Again, if anyone using an imac 27 and windows 7 64 or 32 doesnt have these problems, let us know! We are all anxious for a fix!
Best to all! -
I have been having trouble installing Windows 7 Home Premium on my 2008 iMac while using BootCamp. It has OS X Mavericks 10.9.1. Every time I try and use bootcamp I come across a blank black screen with a flashing white curser in the top left hand corner after it has restarted. If anyone knows a solution to this that would be great.

First off I have a 3tb fusion drive.
I created a 200gb bootcamp, I tried deleting the bootcamp because I thought I messed it up and googled how to delete a mac partition which told me to use Disk Utility, did that and then erased it and somehow it got locked and wouldn't let me do anything to any partition on my hard drive (everything was greyed out)
After looking up and googling for hours I found a post saying the only way to fix it would be to go into CMD+R and go into the terminal window and type out disklist and then find the first UUID number and do something along the lines of disklist delete (UUID) i forget the exact formula. I did this, and then I had 3 separate untitled hard drives.
One in the size of 1.9gb on in 800gb and one in 121.3gb (which is the SSD), I put my time machine backup onto the 1.9gb untitled and now my computer is booting slowly (because it's no longer running off of the SSD and the original bootcamp is still there.
To be honest I am absolutely confused on what else to do!
Is there anyway I can fix this?How do I go about deleting and then re-adding the hard drives? Completely lost on how to make it back to being a 3gb fusion drive.
Thank you for all your help, I honestly really appreciate it.

Help! Installed Bootcamp on iMac and now I can no longer access my Mac OS!
Hi ALL,
I'm hoping someone can help... I installed Windows 8 64bit on my 27" iMac and downloaded all recommended drivers. However, now I can only load the Windows partition.
I've tried restarting my computer and have pressed 'option' when restarts and the only harddrive option available is EFI Boot and if I click that it just loads Windows 8.
I've never used Bootcamp before and I'm slightly concerned I have somehow wiped my Mac OS off my computer. As I type I am on Windows Internet Explorer - it's a dark time!
What I'm asking is how do I get my mac hard drive to appear / my mac OS to load back up and not windows?You will need to reinstall OS X:
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it is three times faster than wireless. -
Two days ago I rebooted to Bootcamp Windows 8.1 and it blue screened. I have been trying for two days to fix my system following helpful posts here and I'm just digging myself further into confusion and complications. At this point I'm extremely in over my head. I have removed the Bootcamp partition using Boot Camp Assistant and tried re-installing Windows again and again using BCA…
At the moment I am back to no Windows partition, just a 3TB OS X partition, but when I try to create a Windows partition it gets created as a logical core... heck, I don't understand enough, just know it's not right.
How do I get my drive tables all right again and then be able to create a working Bootcamp partition? What screenshots do I need? I appreciate any help I can get.Okay, I used Bootcamp to create a EFI-bootable USB drive with Windows 8.1
I had my drive back to a single 3TB partition.
I created a Free Disk (empty) partition of 750GB (which was then set as 876.82GB).
I rebooted.
Created a new partition, got the notice that Windows will create a smaller 128 MB partition.
It did create the 128 MB partition, or showed such.
Then when I go to format the other, last free space partition it seems to work.
When I go to install Windows 8.1 in that partition I am told Windows cannot find a partition to install into.
Here is my diskutil list as it is now.
… and I just saw the "must be under the 2TB limit" again… I don't know how I had Bootcamp working until last week. It was cleanly set up on my new Mac as ~750GB the first time with BCA and worked for months until whatever changes were made with 10.10.3. -

Issue with Bootcamp 5.0 and Windows 7: Ultimate 64-Bit Install
HERE are the specifications of my iMac.
I am trying to install Windows 7 Ultimate 64x on a 150GB partition i created using bootcamp 5.0. I get to the point where it finalizes the windows setup, and then it says "Setup Up Desktop for first use" or something of that nature, it restarts then, and goes straight to a black screen with a black cursor. I have tried to get to the BIOS to change the boot order (thinking it may be something to do with the boot order) but I won't even let me access that! Any fixes would help a lot!!
I was using parallels before this, but I want a seperate partition so I can play games that are too high demanding (graphics wise) to run in a VM, the crash on start every time. Some run, but very choppily.
Also, I am running the latest edition of mountain Lion if that helps...ANYONE!?

BootCamp v3.1 and Windows 7 OVERHEATING
ALCON,
I've had Windows 7 Home Premium installed for a little over two weeks now and the temparature gets so hot that my MBP will actually auto-shutdown.
It gets as high as 195F/90C!
1. I do not run any heavy programs or graphic intensive work. Just running a stock trading graph chart that is currently only available for Windows.
2. Even if I do not run anything at all the computer will get intensly hot within the hour.
3. The MBP sits on an angled metal lift that only touches the computer on 4 dime sized points under the laptop (to give ample clearance below for heat syncing and typing comfort); no different than Blue Lounges "cool feet".
I can use Windows 7 while in BootCamp for about an hour (usually have to stop b/c it gets so hot) and then quickly boot into Mac OSX and the temparature reading on the SMC Fan Control is sitting at over 195F which tells me that BootCamp running Windows 7 is actually running much hotter and I am only reading the temperature after it has cooled down a bit.
My specs are below as per my signature block.
Is there anyone having the same problems of overheating and auto-shutdown?
Anyone have any fixes to this issue?This article is interesting because the new i7 MacBook Pro's are also having the SAME overheating issues:

I've now met another person who has the same overheating problem when running Windows 7 and BootCamp v3.1.
Apple, are you listening?!
