Problems installing Bootcamp on my Macbook Pro i7

Hi,
I ran the Bootcamp installation program, and then restarted my Macbook Pro Core i7, and was presented with three choices - 1. Mac OS X, 2. Windows, 3. EFI Bios. Choice 2 crashes, choice 3 runs the Windows installer, shows the progress bar, goes up to 100%, then freezes. Choice 1 also freezes. I then did a PRAM reset, and then choice 1 worked correctly. I repeated this procedure three times, but was unable to actually reach the main windows setup menu. Then finally I booted back into Mac OS X, went into Disk Utility and removed the windows partition. Unfortunately the Windows option (choice 2) still shows up if I press option and reboot the machine. So I have two problems, 1. How do I remove the Windows choice (2) while pressing option during bootup, and secondly, how I do get bootcamp to install correctly?

hi,
regarding the external drive question
i would ask the question in the boot camp forum.
regarding space issues on a mbp:
i solved my space problems using the "printer repair utility" and the additional delete of some files/apps like garageband including the sounds files.
maybe "Disk Inventory X" will help you getting an overview about your disk-usage.
i hope this hints offer a small first help for you.
best regards

Problem installing Lion on my Macbook Pro.

Hello all. I bought the virtual lion upgrade from the Apple store a year and half ago, after installing it I noticed I coudn't use many applications I used daily. That lead me to reinstall Snow Leopard on my computer using my time machine backup.
After purchasing an external HD big enough to contain my Snow Leopard I decided to reinstall Lion and keep all the old applications on the Snow Leopard Partition on my external HD. Here is where all the problems began. After installing Lion again the computer coudn't get past the gray screen with spinning wheel. I remamber once during one of the many attempts it actually did get past the gray screen right after installing it but didn't last long since at night i turned off the macbook pro and by the morning the same problem happened.
Now after a long period of time I am willing to install that OS Lion on my mac even because I need it in order to install some applications that are not supported on Snow Leopard but the same problem happends...I have now used time machine to be able to get into my computer again and type this down.
Here is the current steps I already took:
- Backed up with time machine.
- Verified Disk
- Repaired Permissions ( right after the repair completes, if I click repair permissions again it starts reparing a whole load of new permissions and as far as I know could go infinitely...is this normal?!)
Additional information:
MacBook Pro 5,1
Snow leopard 10.6.8
Processor 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Now I read that restarting the NVRAM and SMC might help and I was thinking about doing that, just not sure in what order and any help would be much appretiated.
Thanks in advance,
Gabriel

Little update.
I reset the SMC and NVRAM but it still not works. I also tried to Repair the Permissions under the Lion download using the "alt" key to access the Recovery HD and than I reinstalled lion under Recovery HD but still won't boot.

How to install bootcamp partition on macbook pro 12 with mountain lion

Then your drive is to full or has errors of some type. Those are the only reasons for boot camp to stop you from partitioning and installing Windows.

Problem installing 512mb RAM in Macbook Pro.

Hi,
I hope someone can help me, I have checked other posts and nobody seems to have the exact problem that I have after installing RAM.
I installed a Crucial 512mb module in my Macbook Pro which already had a factory installed 512mb module in one slot.
First time the Mac started up ok but it did not recognise that extra RAM had been installed. I reseated the crucial module and the Mac would not start, just a pulsing power light and a black screen.
I installed one module at a time and the Mac booted correctly with both the Crucial Ram abd the RAM it shipped with.
When I put in both Modules it will not boot, I switched the slots and made sure that modules were inserted correctly but no joy.
Sorry for being so long winded!
Macbook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Thanks guys,
It just seems odd that both modules are working correctly when they are installed on their own and there is no boot when they are installed together.
As you stated it may be that the specs are different but I checked and all the info seems the same.
I'll just go ahead and send it back to Crucial for a replacement.
Thanks again.

Hi,
I have Adobe Creative Suite 5 Design standard purchased in France in 2010. It was installed on my Macbook Pro 2010 but I just changed for a MacBook Pro Retina Yosemite 10.10.2 and there is no slot to insert a CD. I would like to install the software via adobe website, I registered both products using the serial numbers but I don't know how to download CS5 on my new computer. I already uninstalled the Adobe CS5 from my old computer as I probably have only one licence.
I would really appreciate some help!

I am having a problem with Bootcamp on my Macbook Pro (early 2011).

I know how to install windows using bootcamp etc. etc. The problem is that I have successfully installed and have been using windows on my mac...until today
I tried starting up in windows as usual and all of a sudden, it loaded up much slower than usual, then when to a black screen where my mouse cursor appeared for a brief second before the entire screen when black. I can hear the start up sound as well as my computer still running but nothing on the screen appears and remains black
I've tried googling for this answer to this problem but have only come up with this problem being for imacs and bootcamp 5 (i'm assuming my current 2011 laptop runs bootcamp 3.2?) Does anyone know how to fix this problem? I'm just confused as to why this happened since it was working just fine yesterday? ( i didn't install anything new...unless the problem resides in one of the window updates??

EDIT: The only thing new that was installed was downloading "Bootcamp 3.3 patch"
Could this be the cause of the problem? If so, how should I go about fixing it?
Thanks for your time!

Problems installing pse 8 on macbook pro

I'm trying to install pse8 on my new Mac Book Pro and keep getting an error message saying that Firefox is running and I cannot install until that program is closed. Only problem is firefox is not running. Has anyone come across this problem before? I was able to successfully download other software onto my computer immediately following my pse 8 attempt.
Help please??

Barbara,
No Firefox process is running. I created a new admin account and tried it again but the same message came up. Shouldn't the installation process automatically start when inserting the disk? It doesn't so I have to double click on the icon in the top right corner then I double click on pse8 and then set up. It starts the intiallizing but ends with the same message everytime that the firefox application must be closed in order to continue. Is there a better way? Everything is closed as far as I can tell. Nothing has begun to download.

How do i install Bootcamp on my macbook pro

Hi.
i have deleted my bootcamp for some time ago. now i try do download it and re install it but i can't.
can someone give some advice.
best regards
Amir

The support software is a package adjoining the actually application for drivers, updates, etc. you need to make sure you have the application on your computer. Spotlight to see if you still have the application, if you don't you'll need to get it whether that be by installing it via DVD of Mac OS, I can't remember if bootcamp is on the Mac App Store...

You either download drivers from within Boot Camp Assistant and save to USB FAT disk, or you insert and use 10.6.x OS X DVD when in Windows and install and run the SETUP from there.

Step 4: Install the Boot Camp Drivers for Windows
After installing Windows, install Mac-specific drivers and other software for Windows using your Mac OS X installation disc. The Mac OS X disc installs drivers to support Mac components, including AirPort,built-in iSight camera, the Apple Remote, the trackpad on a portable Mac, and thefunction keys on an Apple keyboard.
The Mac OS X disc also installs the Boot Camp control panel for Windows and theApple Boot Camp system tray item.
To install the Boot Camp drivers:
1 Eject the Windows installation disc.
2 Insert the Mac OS X disc. If the installer doesn’t start automatically, browse the disc using Windows Explorerand double-click the setup.exe file in the Boot Camp directory.
3 Follow the onscreen instructions.
If a message appears that says the software you’re installing has not passed Windows Logo testing, click Continue Anyway.
Windows that appear only briefly during the installation don’t require your input.
If nothing appears to be happening, there may be a hidden window that you mustrespond to. Check the taskbar and look behind open windows.
Important: Do not click the Cancel button in any of the installer dialogs.
4 After your computer restarts, follow the instructions in the Found New Hardware Wizard to update your software drivers (Windows XP only).
5 Follow the instructions for any other wizards that appear.
6 Check for updated Boot Camp drivers by using Apple Software Update or going to www.apple.com/support/bootcamp.
If You Have Problems Installing the Device Drivers
If it appears that the Boot Camp drivers weren’t successfully installed, try repairing them.
To repair Boot Camp drivers:
1 Start up your computer in Windows.
2 Insert your Mac OS X installation disc.
3 If the installer doesn’t start automatically, browse the disc using Windows Explorerand double-click the setup.exe file in the Boot Camp directory.
4 Click Repair and follow the onscreen instructions.
If a message appears that says the software you’re installing has not passed Windows Logo testing, click Continue Anyway.
If you need to reinstall specific drivers, you can install one driver at a time. For example,if your built-in iSight camera isn’t working, you can reinstall just the iSight driver.
Individual drivers are in the Drivers folder on the Mac OS X installation disc.

Have CS 5 Installed on my iMac and works ok. But installed on my new MacBook Pro it won't open NEF files from my Nikon D810. Displays NEF icons, but when I try and open them the response is: Make sure latest RAW updates are installed. If problem persists

Have CS 5 Installed on my iMac and works ok. But installed on my new MacBook Pro it won't open NEF files from my Nikon D810. Displays NEF icons, but when I try and open them the response is: Make sure latest RAW updates are installed. If problem persists follow link: http://www.adobe.com/go/kb407111. Have installed Bridge 5.0.2.4; Raw Ref Version 7.0.0.308; DNG converter_8_7_1.dmg; Bridge 5.0.2 Update 2. Also same problem with Lightroom which I don't normally use. Lightroom_3_LS11_mac_3_6.dmg installed.

In the link you posted it states that the Nikon 810 requires ACR 8.6 or newer.
Version of ACR are specific to versions of Photoshop. You cannot use 8.6 nor even 7.0.in CS5.
I believe that ACR 6.7 is the latest that will work with CS5, so make sure you have this installed and get rid of ACR 7.
Having 2 versions of ACR will cause problems.
You have already downloaded DNG Converter 8.7.1.
Have you double clicked the DMG file to allow you to install DNG Converter on your computer?
Be aware that DNG converter is a stand-along application and not a plug-in.
You need to open DNG converter at select the FOLDER that contain your .NEF files.
Don't open the folder and try to select individual files, it doesn't work that way.
After converting your D810 files to DNGs you can then open the DNGs in CS5
The problem is your camera didn't exist when CS5 & its version of ACR was developed.
i don't use Lightroom, but the list mentions Lightroom 5.6 as needed to open D819 so your 3.6 version of LR won't cut it.

Try booting to the Recovery drive, running Disk Utility and Repair disk and Repair Permissions.
1. Reboot and immediately hold down command and R (two keys).
2. When you see the screen shown on this page, select Disk Utility and continue.
3. When DU is running, select the hard drove on the left, First Aid and Repair Disk.
4. After Repair Disk, click Repair Permissions.
Quit DU and restart.
