10.9.2 install Bootcamp win7 64bit iMac mid 2010 no bootable device - external superdrive, USB Stick

Hey all,
big problem here.
Trying to install Bootcamp on my iMac 27" mid 2010.
The thing is, during the installation, i get the "no bootable device" black screen, and i think i know why... but i need help.
System, a mid 2010 imac, 2TB HD ( Original) and an SSD Samsung 1TB at the Optical Drive SATA connection.
2TB HD is empty atm. OSX Installed on the SSD.
Bootcamp Assistant. Problem nr. 1.
He first did not want to let me create an USB drive. after hacking the assistat, deleting the "Pre" thing in the info.plist, that worked so far.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5479879?start=105&tstart=0 and several other postings got me so far.
Then when using the assistant, after choosing partition and so, when the iMac restarts, i get the "no bootable device" notice.
Read a lot, and it seems, that older iMacs, that originaly came with an internal superdrive only can install win 7 from that internal superdrive.
I have the problem, that i had it removed to put the SSD there.
So, when doing an EFI Boot, choosing the win USB Stick or the Win in my External Superdrive, - "no bootable...."
So i searched more. rEFIt should help. Installed, and all, doesnt work, same thing. As soon as i want to boot Win from the CD or Thumpdrive, doesnt work. :-(
In one of the many posts, someone wrote something about starting Shell in rEFIt first, etc... didnt work as well.
then i found this post:
http://www.andrewsavory.com/blog/2011/2156
sounded promissing. Somehow getting win installation files onto the Created Bootcamp partion with Virtual Mashine. But it didnt work for me.
The VW Fusion ware is different, and non of the steps he discribes works.
So how can i get it working.. it seems like it is somehow blocked to access something from the USB Ports.
Logicaly i would have to get the installation files onto a Internal drive. i Tried to create a partition and copy the Win 7 USB Thump using Disk Util Progeam onto a seperate, internal partition.. but he just does not what to do that... errormessages when trying to copy it, recreate the drive, etc.
So, i do have a 2TB internal HD, which i can use, an external superdrive, USB.Sticks. any gameplan?
And for Error-excluding: i have an original Win 7 64 bit CD, a burnd one and controled the Hash of the loaded ISO, which i downloaded for the USB-Stick.
Any help? pls!!!

Hi Sam, the Mini Optical may draw too much USB power.
Can you restore that .iso to the Flash Drive as a CD/DVD instead of an image file?

I purchased and installed lion on my iMac. How do i install it on my Macbook without paying for it again?

You'll have to download again. You will not be charged if you use the same Apple ID.
Save the file somewhere before installing.

I need to delete Creative Cloud software from my PC and install on a new iMac. What do I do first?

I have had a Creative Cloud membership for several years and have installed all the related software on my PC. I recently purchased an iMac and will be decomissioning my old PC. What steps do I need to take to deactivate and unistall the software on the PC so I can install on the iMac? I will be wiping the C drive in the old PC when I have moved everything I need to the Mac.
Also, I will be installing Parallels on my iMac and installing Windows 7 Ultimate as well, so the I can install Windows only programs I use that are not available for the Mac. Are there any Windows versions of the Adope Create Cloud software that don't have a Mac equivalent? Does it matter if I use virtual vs. bootcamp?
Thanks!
Scott

Scott if you are trying to install the Adobe Creative applications included with your Creative Cloud Membership then please see Install and update apps - https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html.

HT1338 Can't get the software update to download and install new software on iMac - what am I doing wrong?

Have tried numerous attempts to download, update, and install after restart after restart and nothing happens. Just restarts without updates. Frustrating!
Help!

Exactly what are you attempting to update from the App Store?

Where to find and install bootcamp?

A while ago, I deleted bootcamp and bootcamp assistant on my computer entirely, I deleted a bunch of things I felt like I didn't need off my computer. But I need to install windows again for reasons and I need bootcamp again. I know that it comes with every Mac computer built in but how do you get it again after you delete it off your computer? I remember a while ago I was able to just download bootcamp right off the Apple website but I can't anymore.
Does anyone know where or how I can once again get bootcamp on my computer please and thank you.

You will need to re-install OSX from the original discs, or if you are using Lion or later from the Recovery Partition.

Trying to find and install bootcamp

i tried installing it when it first came out but could get my hands on a windows xp disc until now :/
im still working off my mac mini with mac tiger, os x 10.4.11. I found http://www.soft32.com/download_200398.html but when i download it and open the assistant in my utilities it claims that boot camp has expired. can someone please help me find or figure out what version of bootcamp i can use? im trying to put off upgrading to snow leopard -_-
Thanks!

Well as it says, the license to use Tiger's Bootcamp has expired, unless you're grandfathered in. Like it or not, you're supposed to buy Leopard or later if you want Bootcamp. I don't know if there are workarounds, but if there are we can't discuss them on Apple's own forums since it would be violating Apple's licensing and against the terms of use.

Cannot install Bootcamp Drivers from imac disk #1?

Installed 10.5 on new imac 2.4 GHZ with no problems. Updated to 10.5.1. Started Boot Camp install. When directed Installed Vista Ultimate with no problem. When directed Inserted imac disk #1 to install Drivers - showed zero(0) on disk. Inserted another CD and it loaded as normal. Re-inserted imac disk 1, still 0 on disk. Disk shows up on drive. Click on disk to open - 0 on disk. Set auto run - 0 on disk. No warning notices from Vista. Vista boots normal. 10.5 boots normal. Reinserted disk in Vista - no drivers - 0 on disk. Inserted disk #1 with 10.5 running - disk has normal install applications for imac(10.4). While in Mac OS did a search on disk # 1 for "setup.exe" - nothing found. Has anyone come across anything like this??

you can use your 10.6.x DVD for your Mac Pro.
There is no direct 3.04 installer, that is needed to be installed first.

Erase and Install new Jaguar on iMac G3

I've bought a new iMac and have moved the old G3 into another room. I erased the disk on the G3 and am starting fresh. I've dug out my Jaguar Installation CDs and in the process of reinstalling the machine locks up. I've tried the install about 10 times now and it keeps freezing. Not in the same place, but it freezes and doesn't complete the installation. Any thoughts or suggestions. Or has my iMac kicked the bucket?

Hello,
The first thing I would do is clean the discs off by gently wiping them with a partially damp cloth, then drying it. Sometimes if the discs are slightly dirty, the system will freeze up because it can't read the discs properly.
If that doesn't work, I may suggest buying some canned air (available at Staples, Circut City, Best Buy, etc.) and blowing out the optical drive. Dust can get in their and can cause problems. I do this weekly to my iMac G3 to insure cleanliness. NOTE: Only do this if you have a slot loading model.
If none of this works, I might suspect something wrong with the hard drive or another internal component. I would try these two suggestions listed above first before suspecting another problem, then if needed, going to the next possible solution.
One quick question- when you were using it with the old OS, did you have any problems using the computer? (i.e. slow going, freezing, quitting applications).
Hope this helps Splatto, and as the post before me said, updating the firmware could also be a possible solution.

After downloading and installing Mountain Lion my iMac 27" is nearly non-functioning. SLOW beyond endurance on my part! This same thing happened after downloading Lion last year. An Apple advisor had me reload it. Still terrible! Help?

Has anyone had this problem? Any solution(s) welcome!

Thanks for the info. I'll have to check this later this evening, since I'm in my office presently.
However, I do think it is (was) indexing.

Previously installed Aperture3 on an iMac and a MBP. I Bought a new MBA to replace the MBP and I want to install Aperture3 on the new MBA. The installer says the serial code is invalid? What do I do?

I previously bought Aperture 3 and installed in on an iMac and a MBP. I just bought a new MBA to replace the MBP, but the MBA doesn't have enough memory for me to do a complete restore of the MBP on the MBA. So I am trying to find a way to deactivate the serial code or Aperture 3 on the MBP so I can reinstall Aperture 3 on the MBA. I have been searching forums and google and I have not been any answers. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

How did you buy Aperture? Did you buy it from the App Store? Then you can download it again on your MBA, if you sign into the App Store.
If you bought Aperture buy buying a licence key to unlock the trial, try if this download link for the trial version still works: if yes, you can unlock it with your serial number:
http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content.info.apple.com/Aperture/061-8328 .20101020.AprE3/ApertureTrial3.1.dmg
And if you own the boxed DVD installer , use the DVD to install Aperture on your MBA. If the installer does not work - and you get the message
"check with the developer to make sure Aperture works with this version of Mac OS X"
you may have a problem with an expired developer certificate (they expired mid march).
To fix this, set the Date in " SystemPreferences -> Date&Time" to a date well before March 2012 and run the Installer again. If that succeeds and Aperture now runs, reset the date to the current date.
You can see your serial number in the "About" panel in the main Aperture menu bar on your MBP:
Aperture > About Aperture.
For the "invaldid serial number" see these links: You may have read the letters incorrectly - some are look alike, "1" or "I", "0" or "O"; your shift-lock key may be set.

Doesn't accept User name + Password after archive and install

I did an archive and install, when finished the install the computer restarted and came up with the login Name + Password screen. I type in every account Name + Password I know and the login window just shakes telling me its wrong. I don't know what to do from this point, I was thinking about reseting the admin password but I'm not sure thats the problem because we have two admin accounts and I know both passwords.
I archive and installed 10.4.0 over 10.4.7. And currently on my backup install of tiger.

I did an archive and install because I had no video, and sometimes could not turn on the IBook. I have had two logic boards that went bad and were fixed free by Apple. When I finished the install the computer restarted and came up with the login Name + Password screen. When I type in Name + Password the login window just shakes telling me its wrong, which it is not.
It is possible that the administrator or other user on the computer were erased at some point when I thought to get rid of unnecessary stuff (mistake!)
I archive and installed 10.2.0 over 10.3.7, because I thought the instructions were to use the original install disk.
I have a backup of the info on this computer on a MacBook Pro that I use all the time, this IBook I only use for email, etc.

The directions for installing Bootcamp do not work on Vista

I tried setting up Bootcamp yesterday with Vista Business 32 bit on a new Macbook Pro (P8400 2.4 ghz, 2 gb ram, Nvidia 9400/9600GT). The install went fine and I was able to boot into Vista.
So I inserted the Leopard disc that came with my Macbook Pro and installed bootcamp on Vista. Restarted the computer and none of the device drivers install. Could not get on the internet, no graphic driver, no wireless networking drivers.
So I found an update to Bootcamp (2.1) so then I transfered this to the Macbook and updated Bootcamp. Restarted, but still nothing.
Someone suggested getting the drivers from the websites of these companies, however that poses one problem. What driver do I install for the Nvidia graphics chipset since it has a 9400/9600 GT.
I think it is a little ridiculous that Bootcamp is advertised to work, but I believe it is not possible to get it to work on the new Macbook Pros using the Leopard disc. Calling Apple Support did not resolve anything. The guy on the other end was stumped. Any suggestions?

You don't need to disable UAC to do anything normal (and it is a lot less annoying than all the dialogue boxes and typing password you face in OS X).
You probably need more current drivers than BC 2.1 and might have the latest on your DVD. Remember BC 2.1 came out a full yr ago. And is long long overdue for driver updates.
If you were using Windows 7 beta might have better luck, 10th is last day to download, and there you need to use
"installer name" properties -> Compatibility Mode -> Vista
for drivers to install properly.
There have been problems with BC due to language registry settings is about it. And out of date.

Downloading and installing LR5 on my 2nd computer

I downloaded and installed LR5 on my Imac and have just bought a new macbook pro so wanted to load it onto that. I went to my adobe account for the LR5 but it wouldn't allow me to download it again. I was told I can have LR5 on 2 of my computers as long as they don't launch the apps concurrently. Can anyone help me as to how I go about this.

Don't worry, just download the 5.2 update. It's the full program each time. http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5647

Install bootcamp before or after installing lion

I'm currently on 10.4.6 (snow leopard) and want to install bootcamp to run windows. I've made a bootable clone with ccc to an external hd. I also want to update to lion. What should i do first:
a) make the partition in my hd and install bootcamp
b) install lion and re-ccc my hd to an external hd
thanks!

If you're going to be installing Windows XP or Vista, you must do so before upgrading to Lion. If not, do it afterwards.
