Using Bootcamp and Fusion on SEPARATE installations

So if I install Vista on bootcamp, and then install fusion as a new installation with another 32 gb of space, will it let me activate and use both of them? Basically I want to be able to use photoshop on vista so I can utilize the graphics card and full hardware, but still use office in os x through fusion... will there be a problem, like will it block me from using vista because im using it on "two" computers or not? I don't want to just use the fusion on the bootcamp installation because then every time I go between the two I will have to reactivate
PS This Windows activation stuff is getting ridiculous, it's time for a change

Open Boot Camp Assistant (in Utilities) print out the instructions, setup Windows on its own partition, insall and run Windows natively, not much difference than on any laptop.

You may have to see about using the Recovery HD partition to attempt to erase and restore useful function of the capacity lost to the former Windows installation.
And you may have to backup your contents outside the computer to do it. Disk Utility on the Mac OS X historically has not been able to touch a BootCamp created partition; so if BootCamp cannot remove it, then you have to see how to do the equivalent of a reformat of the entire drive (less Recovery partition?) then reinstall your OS X. Maybe from internet recovery, then get your applications, etc from the Mac App store, etc.
A complete system clone of your OS X on an external HDD would be another method to restore after reformat, of the portion you want whole again, not necessarily the space where Recovery may live.
There may be (an)other way(s).
Perhaps someone with recent experience
in this matter can reply & discuss options.
With my antiques, they almost know what I want before I tell them.
Hopefully yours will after you talk to it awhile.
Good luck & happy computing!

I am going to buy a mac mini i7 with 3 thunderbolt displays for forex trading. the question is if i use bootcamp and run windows on the mac mini will the displays still run the same way as if i was running it on Lion?

No idea if Windows will do it, but you can run Windows without Bootcamp & have OSX available at the same time, which should give you all the Monitors that OSX uses.

How do I install windows 7 on a macbook pro mid 2009 using bootcamp and no optical drive?

How do I install windows 7 on a macbook pro mid 2009 using bootcamp and no optical drive?
My optical drive is non-functional and I want to dual boot with win7. The only problem is my macbook does not boot from USB at all, even when I hold th ALT key down when it is starting up.
-I have a flashdrive with win7 on it.
-I mounted the ISO of win7 with toast for bootcamp to do its thing.

Good luck.
Consider this a bump so that hopefully someone with better news spots your thread.

HT4410 I have just installed Windows 7 64-bit full version Home Premium using Bootcamp and cannot get access to the internet. I installed on a Macbook Air Mid 2012 with Mountain Lion. Are there some drivers that are missing from the Windows 7

Dear Apple. I have just installed Windows 7 64-bit full version Home Premium using Bootcamp and cannot get access to the internet. I installed on a Macbook Air Mid 2012 with Mountain Lion. Are there some drivers that are missing from the Windows 7 bootcamp install download from Apple

It is a Total Misconception that the Support files are installed when you are installing Windows, even if the USB drive that holds them is inserted in the system when doing the Windows install.
You must always Run the Setup.exe files from the support files or run the drivers individually once Windows has finished installing and booted to the desktop.
Also you really need to run the Boot Camp Control Panel Applet and check for updates as not all the newest drivers for full function of all the hardware is included with the original support download. That download is basically a generic version to get the system working and without doing the updates not everything will work properly.

I allocated too much space on the Windows side when using bootcamp and want to take some space back for the Mac side is there any easy way to do this?

Partition using Bootcamp and Windows 7

Hi
Would it be a good approach to partition using Bootcamp then install Windows 7? Later I plan to install Parallells. Can it be down this way or should I install Parallels first, then Windows 7?
Thank you.

Is any one using Bootcamp and JAWS (screen reader)

I gave my roommate my MacMini Solo. We've installed Windows Home on it and JAWS 10 (Latest version. I don't know the version number other then it's 10.)
He is having some problems with JAWS. JAWS isn't always reading the full screen to him, or it will not let normal functions for him to work (alt-E for example).
Is anyone out there using Bootcamp with JAWS that can help? I am wondering that JAWS doesn't work right under the Intel video drivers.
-Locutus

Hi Locutus,
I personally don't use JAWS, but according to this thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2332504&tstart=60 at least on other person uses it successfully on a Mac Mini.
Are you using a USB-wired keyboard or a wireless on on the Mini ?
When opening the Device Manager in Windows (Control Panel - System - Hardware tab) are there any devices with a yellow exclamation mark shown ?
Did you used the OSX install DVD to install Apple BootCamp Drivers and did you update them afterwards with the avaiable Driver Updates from Apples website ?
regards
Stefan

HT201316 This is ridiculous - I am using bootcamp and after waiting over 2 hrs to download this OS, and attempt to install, I get an error message - no recovery partition. So much for user-friendly MAC.

I am now advised by the links to ' wipe my bootcamp partition, and reinstall SnowLeopard (you are kidding..) AND
re down load Mountain Lion (2 hr + again - are you joking? ) THEN recreate my bootcamp partition (im using win XP on this).
Wow thanks Apple ! That sounds like a great way to spend my next weekend.

Did the installer get deleted? If it fails to install, I didn't think it would get deleted. Check the Applications folder.
See, What to do if the installer warns that no Recovery System can be created,
in this document: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
You can create a recovery hd on another drive and install on the startup drive (if your drive is formatted correctly).
Otherwise, you can install Mountain Lion on an external drive.

Can I use bootcamp and install Windows 7 on an external Thunderbolt drive

Hello,
I want to know if it is possible to install windows 7 on a thunderbolt external hard. I have a limited space on my harddrive and want to have windows 7 operate and store data on the thunderbolt drive.
Anyone know if this works or if its possible.
Thanks

i use a thunderbolt ssd for my boot disc and it appears that bootcamp appears to start ok. in disk utility i can partition the drive successfully so i would be really interested if this would work. personally i cant see any problems.
are you thinking about formating the drive and installing windows without bootcamp? that will definately not work!
however with bootcamp you stand a very good chance of achieving your wish. please keep us posted if you decide to do this.
i know of one way that can absolutely do it, but it means installing osx on your ext. first. i have vmware on my ext. running win 8.1 works seamlessly.
i run bootcamp from my internal hdd with win 7.

Collect Thread Dump using Script and direct to separate log file

Dear Legends,
I request you to provide me some useful guide lines to collect Thread Dump using script in linux and redirect the output to a separate log file, not the STDOUT file. If it is redirecting to STDOUT then how to extract only the thread stack to a separate log file.
i used
ps -ef | grep java
kill -3 <pid> >> ss1_td.log
but it is not providing the thread stack to the log file.
Anykind of help would be appreciated much.
Regards,
Karthik

Hi Ram,
Really a great and useful script for me at the right time. It solved my requirement and i made some changes to my requirement and the script it working fine to collect the thread dump and even i have checked the thread dump with SAMURAI works fine.
Helpful site also refer sites like these which contains more valuable things for weblogic. We will meet in the forums again.
Note: also please update several links available in the site like UNIX scripts, WLST, Python etc.

Over bright screen using bootcamp and Windows X

My 24" iMac works great with bootcamp, but the screen is so bright it's unusable. The bootcamp control panel has a very limited control range and doesn't make the screen even close to dim enough.
I use Shades applet with Leopard when on the Mac side, and it works great.
Is there anyone out there who can suggest a similar program for Windows, or another way to further dim the iMac screen so it's usable under Windows in Bootcamp?
Thanks!

I wish you had follow my suggestion and called Apple to get a replacement set of original system disc.
The reason is that disc you order from Apple has only Snow Leopard version 10.6.3 and your Mac may need a later version of Snow Leopard, like 10.6.4, .5, .6 or .7 and that disc will NOT install the OS on your system.
Along with that the original system disc set contain a second disc for the iLife applications, "i" Photo, Movie, DVD, Web and Garage Band.
Without that second disc you can not install those iLife Apps unless you buy them from the Mac App Store at about $19.99 for each or the set of them on DVD from someplace like Amazon or eBay.
And if you buy it from the Mac App Store you can only get "i" Photo, Movie and Garage Band as Apple has stopped supplying "i" DVD and Web with the iLife Apps.

I put windows 8 on my mac using bootcamp and now my mac osx is gone when i see start up disks it says windows and recovery 10.9 and when i click it an reinstall the mavericks it says that i have 3 drives 2 bootcamp and 1 other and they are all locked

How to do revert back to osx from windows

Hi bentheman2120,
If your Mac OS X volume is not showing up in your startup disks, you may need to boot from the recovery partition and use Disk Utility to repair the disk. See this article -
OS X: About OS X Recovery
If that fails, you may need to boot using Internet recovery, erase the hard drive, and start over. See the same article.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

I tried installing windows using bootcamp and it didnt work properly, now neither is load.

So i tried installing windows, it got to the point where you are on the windows setup after a reboot. I didnt have enough space on my mac so i pressed cancel and it shut down my mac. Now when i start it up it says "No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key" so i put in the memory stick i used and press all the keys and nothing happens, i even try restarting it with it in and taking it out and restarting it but the same message keeps coming up. I have no idea what to do, any advice?

Two possibilities: As CellerDweller suggests, your computer is still set to boot from the Windows partition which it cannot. restart holding Option (also labeled Alt). The second is that you erased the Mac partition. If attempting to reboot with the Option key and selecting the Mac drive fails, restart holding Command R to enter Recovery mode. You can then run Disk Utilities to repartition the Mac the the GUID partition scheme and then format the drive as MacOS Extended (journaled). If you have a backup you can then restore using the backup drive. If not you can redownload the Mac OS.
