To install Vista (64 bit) do you have to install 64 bit XP??

I've tried and failed at a fresh install of Vista (on a separate HD) WITHOUT Boot Bamp. It crashes...
So I tried using Boot Camp and XP but only have the 32 bit version of XP.
Is the key to instally Vista using a 64 bit XP first??
I have a brand new MacPro 3gig with a fresh, second 500gb HD that I'd like to put Vista on....
Thanks

There are many users who have had success in installing Vista onto their Intel Macs although I believe there's a small trick to it. So, what you might want to do is search some other forums. I would start with the Boot Camp forums and then move onto other Intel Mac forums such as the iMac, MacBook or MacBook Pro forums.
By the way, you should not need a 64-bit version to work with the Mac Pro. A 32-bit version should be just fine.

    Hi kensb!
    I would recommend that you attempt to reinstall all of the programs and components of iTunes on your machine and reinstall everything again. It can be tricky to get everything uninstalled, so we have an article that can help you make sure you uninstall everything:
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925
    or
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
    Specifically, when it comes to uninstalling, you will want to uninstall applications in this order:
    Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order. Then, restart your computer.
    iTunes
    QuickTime
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended effects.
    You will then want to follow the links in those articles to download the latest package of iTunes software for your computer and install again from there. Thanks for being a part of the Apple Support Communities!

  • If you have difficulties installing Lightroom 5.3 (Win 7)

    Hello everybody.
    I recently run across a (quite common?) problem: I was not able to install Lightroom 5 via CC desk top app.
    As you might know, it is necessary to download and install Lightroon this way if you have bought it as a bundle with PS CC (otherwise you will need a product key).
    Follow these steps:
    Logout CC desktop and close.
    Use run command (by pressing windows key + r) and type %temp%.
    Temp folder opens; delete all stuff there (all that can be deleted, some cannot).
    Open CC desk top, sign in, and install Lightroom 5.
    After unsuccesfull installation, open Temp folder (as described above), and search for the Lightroom installation file.
    Run this file, and lightroom should install.
    In order to see the updated software status on CC desktop, logout, and then log in again.
    Lightroom should now be available and working and licensed.
    Let me also make clear: LR 5 works only 64-bit on MAC (naturally, 'cause no options available), but also 32-bit on Windows.

    Rodwright please make sure your computer meets or exceeds all of the system requirements for Photoshop Lightroom 5 listed at http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop-lightroom/tech-specs.html.

  • HT3678 how do you install the quicktime pro if you have quicktime version 10.2?

    how do you install the quicktime pro if you have quicktime version 10.2?

    QuickTimeKirk wrote:
    QuickTime X seems to be the future development for Apple and it has features not found in version 7.
    Likewise, QuickTime Player 7 with the "Pro" license has a lot of features not (yet) available in QuickTime X. Most notable are the extensive export options, movie property editor, & "old school" window style with easy to set in & out timeline points that don't block the image.
    But because it is a 32 bit application it is much slower for some things than QT X, most notably playback of HD movie content.
    So I use QT 7 for editing & exporting and QT X for playback-only stuff.

  • You have previously installed a driver without rebooting error - tried the bas

    So I'm running Vista, a fairly new install, and I'm trying to get these drivers to work.
    When I go to install, I get the?<span class="Apple-style-span">you have previously installed a driver without rebooting error.

    Anyone fixed this?

  • I want to go back to Snow Leopard but I get "you have to install mac osx.app 23.1.1

    I have a new 21.5 iMac I just purchased July 9 so I was able to download Lion for free under the up-to-date program.  After installing Lion I decided I wanted to go back to Snow Leopard for various reasons. When I restart with the original Snow Leopard DVD that came with my machine and holding the C key down, I get the window for Mac OS X install DVD.  I click the icon to install SL and another window pops up stating "You can't use this version of the application. Install Mac OSX.app with this version of Mac OSX. You have to install Mac OSX.app 23.1.1"  To answer the question before hand....I don't have a time machine backup.

    Thanks for all your help guys. I had trouble with my first install of Lion, it seemed buggy and when I tried some of the suggestions you offered, my machine did not always react the way it should have. I thought that was weird because it's a new iMac, only three weeks old. Pondini pointed me in the right direction and I think Lion is stable now. This worked after a few tries, not sure why I wasn't getting consistent results but it worked eventually.
    1. Shut the computer down.
    2. Hold "command" and "R" and turn on the computer (I believe this is recovery HD from the internet because it wasn't working from my hard drive)
    3. After a few unsuccessful tries, and repeating #1 and #2, I finally got a window to reinstall Lion. This took about an hour to download and after that things went as expected.
    As long as Lion is more stable than it was on my first install, which it seems to be now, I'll just stay with it. After this experience, I would say "make sure you need the features in Lion, and that all your current programs are compatible with Lion before you forge ahead."
    Thanks again

  • HT4906 How do you find out if you have iPhoto installed?

    How do you find out if you have iPhoto installed on your MacBook Pro ?

    It is about my Mac, but it's so I can sync my iPhone to my Mac.  I was directed here from the Apple website.
    But I don't have iPhoto in my applications folder, so I guess I don't have it installed on my computer.
    I thought it did, as when I was going through my iCloud, everything apart from Photo Stream was selected, and underneath it, it said you had to have Aperture or iPhoto installed on your compputer (I back up everything from my phone to my computer, and iCloud)

  • None of the network adapters are bound to the Netmon driver.If you have just installed, you may need to log out and log back in order to obtain the proper rights to capture. Please refer to the product help for more information.

    1) network monitor 3.4
    2)Lync network monitor parser
    3)nmdecrypt2.3
    4)network monitor parser3.4
    Installtion got completed successfully but when I try to start capture I get this error everytime.......
    "None of the network adapters are bound to the Netmon driver.If you have just installed, you may need to log out and log back in order to obtain the proper rights to capture. Please refer to the product help for more information"
    I read many technet articles and other blogs but that didn't solve this issue. I tried things like
    A) Run as administrator
    B) nmconfig /install in cmd
    So could you please help me how I can fix this issue?

    Seems our driver didn't get installed.  What you see when you type "sc query nm3" from a command prompt?

  • CC desktop says "You have not installed any applications yet"

    I've previously installed Lightroom, Photoshop and Bridge, all working fine.
    Today my CC desktop says YOUR APPS (0) - "You have not installed any applications yet".
    I've tried logging out of CC desktoop app and loggin in again. 
    Tried loggin out of CC desktop, deleting OPM.db file and logging in again.  Both unsuccessful.
    The applications run fine.
    Running Windows 7 Pro 64
    How can I rectify this please.
    Thanks

    Found part of the problem.
    I had changed the language to English International in the CC desktop application.  Changing language from international to north american allowed me to see all the apps.
    However I only see Photoshop and Bridge installed.  I also have lightroom installed, but it does not show in my list of installed apps.

  • With an Iphone 4s you have maps installed but is this with voice guidance? I don't have my own iphone yet but I would use it as a GPS if there is voice guidance on the Iphone

    With an Iphone 4s you have maps installed but is this with voice guidance? I don't have my own iphone yet but I would use it as a GPS if there is voice guidance on the Iphone

    There is no built in navigation app on the iPhone. If you want navigation, with voice guidance, you will have to purchase an app in the app store. While you can use the iPhone maps app to plan/map a trip, it is not a true navigation app & does not provide voice guidance. The iPhone maps app also requires a data connection, as none of the data is stored locally on your phone.

    No you won't.  You will need to download it from the
