Running Medieval Total War 2 on windows xp home ed via bootcamp on mac book

Hi...i have a macbook with os x 10.4.6, but im not able to have medieval total war 2 running on bootcamp 1.4, windows xp home ed.
it reported that theres an unspecified problem and program will exit now.
i read from other random forums outside apple that i maybe able to get the game working by upgrading the patch to at least v1.2. Prob is i cant even install the patch. it reports that there is no existing version of medieval total war 2. and that the patch requires a previous version.
so next, i tried v1.1, and to no avail as well. in fact, v1.2 is supposed to have 1.1 accompassed in it in the very first place. its stated in the official totalwar web that we are supposed to upgrade from 1.0 straight to 1.2. theres no requirement to do from 1.0 to 1.1 and next 1.2.
so i like to enquire how to get medieval total war 2 running on mac book with Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950. need to install something special? or like upgrade something?
thanks !

Good morning,
First of all, you are running an outdated version of Mac OS X which could contribute to your problems, please perform a system update to the latest build of OS X (10.4.10) to insure your MacBook contains the latest security and functionality updates.
Also, you may have more luck contacting the manufacturer of the game you are trying to run, or Microsoft, as Apple does not currently provide any support for Bootcamp or Windows Applications running under Bootcamp. Many games do not run optimally on the Intel GMA 950 so you will need to contact the product manufacturer for further support with their product.
Good luck! 

HT201456 I have tried to install Windows 8.1 64 on my new Mac Book Pro from a full install disc.

I have tried to install Windows 8.1 64 on my new Mac Book Pro from a full install disc. When I get the the choice of partitions to install Windows 8.1 on the Windows installer says that the Bootcamp partition is not valid.
Has anyone encountered the same issue?

BCA creates the partition as FAT, which the installer needs to format.
Please see https://help.apple.com/bootcamp/mac/5.0/help/#/bcmp173b3bf2 for reference. Where does it break in your case?

There is no need for anyone to use 32-bit version anymore.
Retail comes with both. Or you can save on just buying 64-bit System Builder disc.
Better support for today's hardware with larger video graphic memory and systems.
Better memory management.

Will this computer run Shogun2 total war or not

Hi im a noob when it comes to computers and iv just bought a HP pavilion G5200uk-m desktop, and i am wondering will it play Shogun 2 total war, if not what advice would you give to me in terms of graphics cards, if i need to buy one which one will be best for my computer HELP!!!! thank in advance

Hi,
The first thing to do is to go to the Shogun Total War web site and review the specifications for the minimum and the recommended PC and video card requirements. Then visit the Showgun forum if it's available and see if you can learn some more about game settings. Of course you will want to try the game if you have it and see how it plays.
It's recommended that the video card supports DirectX 11 but not required. Most of the decent video cards that support DirectX 11 will require a 400-500 watt power supply. The power supply in your PC is only 300 watts.

Windows 7 Home Premium under bootcamp on OSX 10.6.8 no internet connection, no drivers found?

I installed bootcamp, Windows 7 Home Premium on my Macbook Pro 13" 2011 model running OSX 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard with latest updates) and cannot manage to make an internet connection. Cannot locate any drivers on either the Windows CD nor under the installation. Just a plain zero. For me, this amounts to being utterly useless. I tried the trial version of Parallels and got the same result. What, if anything, am I doing wrongly or is this just one of those impossible things to actually accomplish? This has been very frustrating and one of the reasons I bought the Mac in the first place was interoperability with Windows so I can use my extensive collection of photo manipulation applications. As it is I might as well not have bothered.
Bill in the San Juans

Use this set of drivers and put on FAT Flash memory card to access.
They will work and better due to your having a 2011 model you should consider Lion OS eventually.
Can't locate? the Apple Setup.exe or Bootcamp.msi (Bootcamp64.msi for 64-bit) will only be accessible when in Windows.

It just makes me so mad while using windows vista home basic in bootcamp.

there are sooo many problems while running in windows vista home basic..
First..
the computer gets really **** hot after several minutes and the fans just never kick in at all...
second..
the system is soo unstable, is it because of the high temperature?
what all of these about??
is there any problem with my drivers or anything?
i thought apple says that windows will work perfectly in bootcamp..
i'm sooo disappointed. and i really need it to work well most of the times
but what is going on ? please..
i have the 2.5ghz MBP..
but it's like a 0.5 ghz while running windows.. sooo unstable and there are soo many problems!
also it shuts down by itself .. the blue screen says physical memory n stuff...?
it that my problem or the computer ?
did i do anything wrong?
someone please help.
i don't want my mbp runs like a tiger or something only under MAC OS x. and like a weak sick cat loses all its power while running windows?
if I have done any thing wrong .. please somebody tell me and i'm gonna fix it.
but if everybody has the same issue .. i think i will be just sooo mad of buying this computer..

Essentially all you have done here is create a list of complaints without really providing a lot of information about your problems. Maybe if you gave us some specifics we could help. And to answer one of your questions: yes, you can have windows running absolutely fine in BootCamp. My Vista copy works fine without an problems and it is quite fast. I've actually never had a Blue Screen with it. It is true that macs as a rule use fewer system resources and so will probably be faster for some basic tasks, but it shouldn't be too a point where you notice much of a difference.
Now for that memory problem you described. How much RAM does your computer have. Vista uses a lot of RAM and if you run a lot of applications at once in Vista, you might be overloading your RAM.

Installing Windows 7 Ultimate on Lion/Bootcamp 4/Mac Pro (before 2008)

I'm currently trying to install windows (described in title). Everything works fine until the windows intallation gets to the last step. It restarts the computer to run the configuration which causes a blue screen of death to appear and disappear so fast I can't read it. I've been poking around to see if there are any solutions but I haven't really seen anything helpful. The closest I've seen has been to rename the apple drivers bootcamp installs (or something like that) but when searching the file system I can't find the ones mentioned. Also this compy has a 2 x 2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor with 2GB 667 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM ... and was purchased around 2007/2008. Thanks all.

Windows 7 64-bit requires UEFI, which means Mac Pro 3,1 Early 2008.
That is what Microsoft supports for UEFI and GPT on 64-bit OS, www.uefi.org group, Intel, Apple and other partners.
And the ROM yu have is 32-bit and too small for that. UEFI didnt' exist until two years after the MacPro line debut.
So the easy way: install Wndows on a PC to get it started, don't update, then insert drive into Mac Pro and continue from there. That is the easy route.
You actually should, with 64-bit DVD, get an error message:
Select CD ROM 1 or 2
http://www.bing.com/search?q=select+cd-rom+boot+type+windows+7+boot+camp
I had Windows 7 evaluation copy, on my computer, which was expiring. Bought the Windows 7 Home premium and put the disk in the CD-Rom drive, and started my computer. Got the "Select CD-Rom Boot Type" prompt with the options "1" and "2", with no descriptions for either one. I entered the number '1' and my computer started with the evaluation copy (tried '2' as well). Finally, I started the computer again and entered the number '3'. Installation process for my Windows 7 home premium started.
Someone put this help tip and it should be useful, but does require Windows, and it is easy to install Windows from ISO or DVD into a VM whereas native install fails.
Again, you only need Apple drivers, not Boot Camp Assistant to partition etc and you do need to put the Windows drive in bay #1 or #2 while removing all other drives (external as well).
Try typing "3" though if you get the "Select CD" prompt first, seems Microsoft has for years had an issue with their loader is not ISO9660-compliant.
http://www.imgburn.com/index.php?act=download
http://www.virtualbox.org/
And if it was my Mac, I'd download Windows 8 Preview on the 29th (well, wait a couple days for the server to catch up as it will probably get million downloads a day). Unless you have access to Windows 7 through work or MSDN.
You only need to buy System Builder Windows 7 64-bit Pro - Pro to use both processors in your system.
And normally installing 32-bit version is a piece of cake. and from in there you can install 64-bit in another partition on same hard drive without having to boot off DVD.
I think you created the DVD with Disk Utility and that is why it doesn't work. No?

What is better for home movie editing, ipad or mac book?

i have a panasonic hdc-sd90 camcorder and my current laptop is woefully underpowered to run any of the hd editing software so i have been thinking of an upgrade and this seems to be a good reason to do so. I also am self employed and require software that i can do basic invoicing on a spreadsheet. I like the idea of portablilty so the ipad is appealing but i don't know if it is powerful enough to enable me to edit my home movies adequately, plus the exporting issues that seem to come with the ipad (although i have heard there are apps you can get that help with this and printing documents as well from the ipad would be an advantage) If the new ipad is not able to edit the home movies then what mac book would be best for my needs?
i am relatively new to apples products and growing gradually more frustrated with windows based pc's as time goes on, hence the temptation to switch to apple.

A lot of problems after installing Windows XP using Boot Camp on a Mac Book

I have been having a lot of problems after installing Windows XP Home Edition (2002).
For one, after installing Windows using Boot Camp with Mac OS X 10.5.1, I opened Windows on my Mac Book, inserted the Mac OS X Disk 1 as in the instructions and got the message: +"This package requires a newer version of the Windows installer. Do you want to update the version of the Windows Installer on your system?"+ When I clicked Yes (I had NO idea what it meant at the time), I got the message: "The required resource 'UPDATE' is missing" and the Installer quit.
How do I fix this problem?
Another problem I have is that there is no sound on the Windows XP, yet it works perfectly on Mac OS X. Is there any way to fix this problem?
A third problem I have is that I can't wirelessly connect to the internet using Window XP, yet I can on Mac OS X. I have no idea on how to fix this, and it's really messing with me. D:<
D: There are way too many problems, and I have a feeling there will be a lot more later on. Help....

Installing Windows 7 64-Bit Using BootCamp on Mac Pro 2,1 (Early 2007)

Hi everybody,
I have Mac Pro 2,1 (early 2007) 8-core, my OS X is 10.6.4, I couldn’t install Windows 7 64-Bit on BootCamp separate drive (as my Mac Pro 2,1 is not supported for this installation by Apple). I am seeking help if anyone find a trick to do that task. Your help on this will be highly appreciated.

I was waiting to see if the original poster was still intent on going through with it, since it's (a) lot of work, and (b) an unsupported configuration. Unless he's using > 4GB of memory I'm not sure why he needs the 64 bit version of Win7 (there's even less reason to run 64-bit Windows as a VM). I'm not prepared to assume the responsiblity of solving any/all current and future problems he may run into, especially if this is for "work" and not a hobby-level, "I just want Win7-64bit" situation. If he's reading this and wants to proceed -
The Jowie page, while workable, requires a more steps (i.e. even more work); plus, the screenshots used are from an earlier release of imgburn, which has different options from the current version, and if the original poster needs that much handholding he could be put off.
Win7 AIK is "needed" because of the oscdimg.exe that is included. It is the "official Microsoft sanctioned" way of generating Windows ISO images. It's a one-line command that outputs an ISO image file once you have the Win7 disc in the drive, no need to muck about checking/unchecking boxes etc., and running the risk of burning coasters (since there's no way of knowing whether your output works until you actually run it, and imgburn has too many ways of messing up when you don't know what you're doing).
There are alternate "direct" sources for oscdimg.exe, which are smaller downloads than Win7 AIK http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=696dd665-9f76-4177-a 811-39c26d3b3b34&displaylang=en , but I'm a little chary of "programs sourced from unidentified hosts", even though I'm certain most of them are just being helpful and are not malicious (have you read Ken Thompson's Reflections on Trusting Trust - http://cm.bell-labs.com/who/ken/trust.html )
If the original poster (or anyone else reading) is interested, either the jowie.com method can be used, if you are averse to a command line or have poor download bandwidth, or you can get oscdimg.exe (however you choose to do so) and execute:
oscdimg -n -m -bd:\boot\etfsboot.com d:\ c:\iso\win7dvd.iso
assuming oscdimg.exe is in your path (or your current directory), and you've created a directory c:\iso
Incidentally, after getting 64-bit Win7 installed your problems aren't over yet, because Boot Camp will refuse to install the 64 bit version on your "unsupported" machine. There is a workaround (see my post in the thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2589967&tstart=0 ) but I do not know if there will be a future release of Boot Camp that would defeat this.

IPad 2 cannot sync with Windows 7 machine but can sync with Mac Book Pro

I connected the iPad to my Windows 7 machine straight out of the box and tried to register it for the first time. It showed up in the device list for the first 3 minutes and then disappeared altogether. Thinking this is just some small error, I started troubleshooting using this guide http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/assistant/itunes/
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2292
after doing that 4-5 times, I still had not found a solution to the problem. I made sure that my computer had the Apple Mobile Device Drivers installed in it. After all my iPod can easily connect to iTunes, but not the iPad. There isn't a problem with the usb cable because I used the same cable on the iPod and it worked like a charm. The iPad gets recognized in the Device Manager as an Apple Product, but does not show up in iTunes at all. This problem has frustrated me quite alot. I also tried to use my friend's Windows 7 machine, but to no avail. It did not connect to his computer either. Finally as a last resort, I tried to connect it to a another friend's Mac Book Pro [iOS Snow Leopard], and like clockwork, it connected and showed up in his iTunes. This is what surprised and outraged me the most. After spending 5-6 hrs troubleshooting the connections on my Windows 7 machine, uninstalling and reinstalling applications, drivers and finally the OS itself, this iPad connects seemlessly to a Mac Book within 1 minute. I could synchronize data, songs and the like on the Mac Book, but I can't even get this iPad to show itself on a Windows 7 machine. I am truly at my wit's end with this problem. Could anyone please help me with it? I would surely be grateful.

Here is my statdard reply, most of which you have already done. You may wish to try the others!
Firstly, make sure that your device is not hidden (left hand pane). If it just reads device then toggle between SHOW and HIDE.
Secondly, try all the other ports on your computer, even a number of times.
Thirdly, if you have another computer try plugging your device into it without taking any action, give it a moment, remove it and try it back in your other computer again.
Failing all that, see here - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 for Windows and http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591 for Macs
And failing all that put the device into Recovery mode. See here and note the paragraph 'If you restore from a different computer.... ' down near the bottom of the page -

Cant get external Monitor to run under Mountain Lion with Dr. Bott Mini Display port Adapter and Mac book Pro Retina!

Hey there,
somehow I cant get my Zalman Trimon Monitor to run on my new Mac book pro (2012, Retina). I tried hooking it up with the Dr. Bott Mini Display port Adapter see here ( http://www.google.de/products/catalog?client=safari&rls=en&oe=UTF-8&redir_esc=&q =dr.+bott+mini+displayport&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=shop&cid=9085840057573220630&sa=X&e i=rHMeULWUNo7ysgaZvYGYAg&ved=0CHIQ8gIwBg#ps-sellers )
Neither on my new mac book (with thunderbold) nore with the 2010 Mac book pro 13 inch from my girlfriend both running Mountain Lion, would it work. Does anyone has the same troubles or knows a reason or fix? The monitor definitly works (tried with my old mac book) and this is already the second adapter I use, since I thought maybe the adapter doesnt work!
Help appreciated!

Gaming issues and heat issues, running windows 8.1 pro via bootcamp

I have a few problems, and I don't know what else to do, then to write for help here..
I really hope someone out there can help me, because I have had this problem since I bought my laptop mid 2012, and I got smarter since then, so now I know that I actually shouldn't have these problems, it's not because my very expensive laptop is bad, or that it is a laptop or because it's a mac, regardless of what people say, I'm positively certain that it's a problem which shouldn't be there.
I have pretty great specs, (trust me i checked them out, not the best in the world, but pretty good) yet I can't enjoy 1 single mmorpg game like, Tera, or the new Archeage (currently in open beta), or any other game, (swordsman online)... Even though people say Tera has bad coding, I have tried adjusting things for weeks if not months, NOTHING helps, i get a frame rate that is from 0-25 very unstable, usually around 7-12, and sure if I go the lowest settings in the games I can get very unstable framerates but i guess they can get up to around 35-72 but drops to like 7 or 3 sometimes as well, so even on the LOWEST settings in the games I can't enjoy the games fully... It lags and such because of the low fps ofc...
Other than that it also have a heat issue, mostly when running windows 8.1 in bootcamp.
It get's quite hot, just by opening a browser window, and yes i have tried reseting smc, and p-rams, many times.. nothing seems to help.
And even if it helped the heat problem, the gaming problem is still there.
Now to my specs: (I have the macbook pro retina, mid 2012, 15 inch)
- Prosseser: 2.6GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processor (Turbo Boost up to 3.6GHz) with 6MB shared L3 cache. "Core i7" processor (3720QM)
- Memory: 16GB 1600MHz DDR3L onboard memory
- Storage: 256GB ssd flash storage. (Seperated into os x = 130GB, windows 8.1 pro = 120GB) Running games and such from my 1TB external harddisk.
- Graphics and video support:
Intel HD Graphics 4000
NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 1GB of GDDR5 memory and automatic graphics switching
Dual display and video mirroring: Simultaneously supports full native resolution on the built-in display and up to 2560 by 1600 pixels on up to two external displays, at millions of colors.
And here's a link to see what is inside it for yourself: http://http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook_pro/specs/macbook-pro-core- i7-2.6-15-mid-2012-retina-display-specs.html
When that is said, apple's warranty has run out, and I didn't buy apple care, but I still have warranty from the store (humac) I bought it in, because in my country the law is warranty 2 years, no matter what, but if i can avoid it, I REALLY would like to avoid switching it out with a new one, since there could be problems all over again, and I would lose what I have on it right now, plus it's a hassle to get a new one, they will always try and fix it for a long long time before they give a new one, and probably can't find the problem...
But if that's the only thing i can do about it, I will ofc, but just don't advise me to do that, unless there's no other solution to the problems.
Please help me.
ps: sorry if I posted it the wrong place, I wasn't allowed to post it the right place by apple...

If the underlying hardware was exposed correctly by the CSM-BIOS when Windows was installed, your Device Manager should look like this.
If the Windows installer did not see any devices as your screen indicates, Windows will use generic software-based drivers which will be very slow and painful.
Rudegar ... I think the Windows installer did not see any hardware, otherwise there should be HW with yellow triangles with exclamation marks.

I replaced my old computer with Window XP with an new one that operates on Window 7 home.How do I tranfer my book marks and tabs?

Is there a way to transfer my previous book marks to my new computer?

EXTREME lag after installing Windows 8.1 pro via / Bootcamp assistant

Hey guys, today I've literally been through **** trying to get this game working on my MacBook Pro.
I've basically gone out & bought Windows 8, created a partition on my hardrive (of my MacBook Pro) & installed it into that partition using Apples 'Bootcamp assistant'. After installing the operating system I also loaded the drivers which were given to me by Apples 'Bootcamp assistant'.
I now have the game on the Windows 8 (on my MacBook) which is a £2000 machine... I have got to the menu & experienced extreme lag to the point where I've even managed to turn down all my video settings & it is still lagging a lot despite my high-end computer hardware - here is my computer http://store.apple.c...B/A&step=config#
I have tried running the game on this website http://www.systemrequirementslab.com & everything is great but it says I don't have the required 512MB of video RAM... It says I have 256MB. This is complete ********? I believe I have 2GB of GDDR5 video RAM. It also says that my graphics card is called 'Microsoft Basic Display Adapter'. So I believe this is where the issue lies. My theory is for some reason one of the drivers which I have installed which was given to me by the Bootcamp assistant is messing with me.
This is literally all the information I can possibly provide, does anybody know how I could fix this?
Thanks you!
