I am trying to install windows 7 on my macbook pro 13", when i run bootcamp it tells me that there is not a windows support software available for my computer. Where can i get the windows support software for my macbook?
Apple only supports Windows on certain hardware.
http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
Apple provides their framework for Windows to run on a Mac, a piece of software called a Hybrid MBR that bridges the gap between how Windows reads the drive partition table (MBR) and EFI/GUID partition table that Mac's use.
It doesn't mean Windows can't run on your Mac, a third party solution called rEFIt will also bridge the gap and allow booting of more that just Windows, Linux as well for a triple booting computer.
Your hardware has to meet the other requirements the second and third operating system needs as as being able to install drivers that will work for your hardware, especially the fans or they will run loud and fast by default.
http://refit.sourceforge.net/
This above is a advanced procedure which requires knowledge how computers and various operating systems, drive formats and so forth work.
I even admit I don't know everything myself, but I experiment on a separate piece of Mac hardware (out of warranty/AppleCare) designed for this purpose so in case something screws up I'm not taking down my only machine and can use the other to get online and find solutions.
There is a very high potential for losing your data if your using advanced/non-Apple methods to install Windows on your only Mac where Apple doesn't support it. Also one shouldn't be doing this on Mac hardware that is under AppleCare or warranty as it might be voided. Proceed at your own risk and education. -

iTunes movies no longer sync from Dell laptop or MacBook Pros (both authorized devices) to iPhone 6s or iPad Air 2s after configured at Apple store yesterday. In the past I could see the movies in iTunes with the cover photo and sync to the other devices but now there is a listing a movies with no cover photos and in fact if I try to view the movie on the MacBook Pro it cannot be found unless I download it.
All I had to do was complain. I synced my iPhone to the Windows machine, checked the other account at iTunes prompting (where no apps had shown up previously), reconnected the iPad, and 140 apps downloaded including the App Store. I have no idea why.

I am trying to update my iTunes to 10.5.1 so that I can upgrade my 3GS phone but am getting the following error message when trying to install the itunes: Install step failed: Run pre upgrade script for apple mobile device support. Contact software manufacturer for assistance. I am on a MacBook pro running 10.5.8 OS. Has anyone seen this before and how can I get it resolved.
Thanks for your help in advance....Did you ever figure out the problem? "Contact Software Manufacturer"?? That sounds ominous... I've got the same issue and I'm pretty durn aggravated right about now....
Thanks! -
The installer encountered errors before apple mobile device support could be configured
I'm having issues with installing apple mobile device support. Every time I try to install apple mobile device support I get this annoying message:
the installer encountered errors before apple mobile device support could be configured
I have tried these two ideas with no luck.
Had this issue, and none of the solutions above worked, here is what I did to fix the issue, Install Itunes like you normally would, admin rights ect. When you get the error message "Itunes errors occurred during installation before itunes could be configured" do not click finish, leave that folder up, no navigate to your appdata directory such as example C:\Users\Your Username\appdata\local\temp, inside there look for a file called iTunes64Setup.log or iTunes32Setup1850.log, open that up and scroll down, look for these key things as in example, "Executing: "C:\windows\system32\msiexec.exe" /i "C:\Users\Crusisxx\AppData\Local\Temp\IXP593.TMP\iTunes64.msi" INSTALL_SUPPORT_PACKAGES=1" so I would navigate inside the folder in my temp called "IXP593.TMP, there you will find all the installation packages, copy all of those files and paste either on your desktop or a new folder ect, once done you can now click finish on the failed itunes installer, now whether or not where ever you decided to place your files you copied from that temp folder you will want to run Itunes64.msi or Itunes.msi ect, and run the installer, you should now have successfully of installed Itunes.
Itunes 11.1.1 Errors occurred during installation...
I got it. I just first uninstalled iTunes then this:
1.Open up the Command Prompt as an Administrator (Go to All Programs > Accessories and Right Click on Command Prompt and then choose Run as administrator)
2.Type cd C:\Windows\SysWOW64
3.Type regsvr32 vbscript.dll (This registers VB Script with your computer.)
4.Now install iTunes as you normally would by double clicking on the install program and wait for iTunes to finish installing.
5.Type regsvr32 /u vbscript.dll (This unregisters VB Script with your computer.)

Previously, our school bought a number of codes for iMovie. One of our MacAirs that supervises some iPads through Apple Configurator showed that it was free. However, another Mac Air did not saying that I needed to import more codes. I upgraded everything, software, iMovie in iTunes, and Apple Configurator. Everytime I upload iMovie into Configurator it shows I only have 2 codes, while on the other MacAir, it shows it as free.
Can I import photos from iPhoto ('08; 7.1.5) into latest version of Aperture without upgrading my iPhoto to the iPhoto '11 version?
To elaborate a bit on TD's answer:
You can import only folders of images or selected image files that have been exported from older iPhoto libraries, not the libraries themself.
Aperture 3.4.5 cannot work with iPhoto Libraries that have not been upgraded to iPhoto 9.4. or later at all:
You cannot open them in Aperture:
And you cannot import them as a library to create an Aperture library from the older iPhoto Library.
Without upgrading to iPhoto '11 your only option would be to export your original images and the edited versions from iPhoto '08 and to import the folders of images into Aperture. That would be a lot of work, a waste of disk space, and break the lossless workflow. You will clutter your Aperture library with duplicates (version and edite image) that are no proper original-version pairs.
For a smooth transit from iPhoto to Aperture I strongly recommend to bite the bullet and to upgrade to iPhoto '11 to upgrade your iPhoto libraries to the new version 9.4.3 to preserve all the previous work - albums, books, ratings - you have done in iPhoto.

I have a cart of 25 ipads with a macbook air. I have logged into my VPP account and purchased the needed number of copies. I downloaded the spreadsheet. I took the first code from the spreadsheet, and logged into itunes using a regular account (not my VPP account), and used the code to download the app. I put the app into configurator and then tried to add the spreadsheet with the codes in it. It comes up and tells me that it is not the correct spreadsheet for that app. But it is the correct spreadsheet!! I tried re-downloading the spreadsheet again and even tried re-downloading the app. So I've now used two of my redeem codes and still can't get it to accept it into apple configurator. I removed the app from apple configurator and re-added it. The error message says it's not the right codes for the app "Grammar Games by Tap To Learn" and to please get the codes for "Grammar Games by Tap To Learn." It's the same one!
It won't let me edit my post, so I'm typing this reply to add...
I tried taking the version number out of the title. It looked like there were two spaces in the title "Grammar Games by Tap to Learn". So I even made sure that matched. I still can't import my codes. Any other things to try would be really appreciated. -
Connecting Apple TV device and Macbook Air (early version) without using a TV
Hei,
I am trying to set up my home cinema using a projector and not a TV. I have a Macbook Air early 2011 version (the one where you can only stream directly from Itunes and use a third party device to play the rest) that I am trying to connect this device to the apple tv device - but as said without using a tv. I have speakers with a console where you can run an optical digital cable from the console to the Apple TV (as this will then give me sorround sound as opposed to the airport express that has not got this option). However my computer and projector is on the other side of the room so I want to be able to wirelessly connect to my speakers via my computer.
All set up guides with the apple tv involves connecting the apple tv device and a TV with an HDMI cable. As I am not using a TV and I am not connecting the apple tv device and my projector only aiming to stream sound to the speakers to the Apple TV device I am at a loss in terms of what I need to do. Can anybody help?
Thank you!
LeneAirplay requires both devices to be connected to the same network (wired or wireless).

My iPad, Macbook and Apple TV are all set up with the same iCloud email address. I bought the iPhone 6 and accidentally set the iCloud up with a different email. My phone will not let me change the email address to be the same as my other devices, it tells me that email is already being used. How do I delete the iPhones iCloud account and reinstall it to match my other devices.
Yes it will, just sign out, then sign back in with the correct address.

I have one HDMI port on my television that is currently used for my hard drive/free view box. What kind of adaptor can I buy so I can have the hard drive and my apple tv device plugged into the same HDMI PORT? Is it a switch or a splitter? And where is it best to buy one? Thanks!
Welcome to the Apple Community.
You need an HDMI switch. -
why did i get charged three times for the same purchase? is it because i use my apple id on three devices.. two iphones, and ipad... and and macbook geez apple i support you enough can i just pay for one copy of the audiobook
These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here.
If it was an audiobook then they are one-time only downloads, to get it on your other devices you need to sync it to them and not re-download it oneach. You can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will refund or credit you for the second and third downloads : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption -
When I plug my iPhone 4s into my PC, I get a message that says iTunes needs a newer version of Apple Mobile Device Support. It wants me to uninstall both the AMDS and iTunes and then reinstall iTunes. iTunes won't recognize my phone and so I can't synch it. Has anyone else run into this problem recently and how did you resolve it? Thanks!
Thank you both. I suppose I should have prefaced my question with the concern that I've read a number of other posts from people who have had a similar issue and when they tried to follow the directions, they ran into a multitude of other problems. As you might imagine, I'm hoping to avoid the creation of new problems as I try to solve this one. Thanks again.
