Vista 64x for Macbook?

I have been reading that the Mac Pro works with Vista 64x. Will it work for the on the Macbook? I also read that the drivers besides the bluetooth, iSight, trackpad, ect.. work. Do they work now since the update?

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
in my opinion only the Mac Pro really 'needs' a 64-bit Windows version due to the fact that only the Mac Pro can be upgraded to more than 4GB of RAM.
And since the 32-bit Windows versions only allow the use of 2GB on a Mac Pro while the 64-bit versions allow the use of the full amount of RAM, the 64-bit versions are the way to go on a Mac Pro.
But, only the very new Mac Pros (8-core) come with a OSX DVD that features drivers for 64-bit Vista.
No possibility right now to download these drivers for other Macs.
On your MAcBook you can have up to 4GB of RAM, which the 32-bit version can use nearly completely (ca. 3.5GB).
And sincce the drivers for Bluetooth, iSight, Trackpad, ect. are not avaiable for download, I would propose you stick with 32-bit Windows.

Well I never have had much help with tech support from either of those you mention. I usually get better results and more variations of ways to do things using forums such as this one. Is this not for macbook:

I'm not trying to run 64 bit and I'm not getting 4GB just for windows. I use programs on the mac side that use alot of memory, such as audio, video, and graphic design programs. I just didn't know if one vista would run smoother than another one on the MACBOOK!

Do I need to install boot camp on Windows 7 as well as on Lion? I already installed it some years ago on Leopard when installing Windows Vista on my Macbook Pro. But now after installing Windows 7, many things in windows doesn't work (sound etc.)

But now after installing Windows 7, many things in windows doesn't work (sound etc.). I made a clean installation because I needed to go from 32 bit to 64 bit.
Or should I just update bootcamp in Lion? (cause when I search for "boot camp" in Windows 7 there's no result)

Which email service do you recommend for macbook pro?

Vista is an operating system, Windows Mail is a mail client and Windows Live is an e-mail provider, 3 entirely different things, try this, what does your e-mail address consist of after the @sign?

Hello! Help please! Best external hard drive preferably 1TB for macbook pro 2011. thank you!!!

Hello! Help please! Best external hard drive preferably 1TB for macbook pro 2011. thank you!!!

You can pickup any 1TB USB powered drive for about $100 at just about any local office supply store.
It comes formatted FAT32 (MSDOS) for reading by OS X and Windows PC's.
However if your files sizes are going to be larger than 4GB in size (like video tends to be) then your going to need to select the drive in OS X's Disk utility (in the Applicaitons > Utilities folder) and format the drive exFAT instead.
exFAT is a drive format that 10.6.5 and later Mac's, Windows Vista and 7 machines can read just fine. XP machines need a free exFAT drive install from Microsoft.
Do backup the 1TB to another 1TB drive using Carbon Copy Cloner or another backkup utility because 1TB is a lot of data to lose on a $100 drive.
I don't advise the "port powered" USB drive as these tend to have power issues and with 1TB of data on it, very risky. Use a powered drive if you can all help it.

Vista x64 and MacBook Pro 65nm

According to this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1846
..this MacBook Pro 15" model is the only one with Vista x64 drivers: MacBook Pro (15-inch Early 2008).
I have the model from mid 2007, and am wondering why it is not supported?
As far as I can tell almost nothing has changed in regards to hardware, so why wouldn't it be supported?

The 2008 Mac Pro went from EFI32 to EFI64, not sure if that is the main or only reason.
I had to grab 64-bit BootCamp setup elsewhere, as Leopard 10.5.0 retail didn't include those and I wouldn't have support needed for HAL and such.
Apple started using new Intel chips, but that alone doesn't explain an even more glaring question: the latest 2008 iMac has Penryn cpu and would seem an excellent "candidate" for 64-bit Vista, but that model is excluded and not listed in that article.
No one of course that knows can say and just speculating out loud.
Can Vista 64-bit be installed? Probably yes and I think you can find some threads. I started with Vista x64 back in fall '06 pre-beta BootCamp with RC1 of Vista Ultimate but lacked a few things.
I suspect you have 32-bit EFI firmware is the only real reason.

I have CS6 installed on Wiindows Vista 64x bit. Everyyhing is fine apart from inaccurate metadata. v

I have CS6 installed on Windows Vista 64x bit. Everything is fine except for some inaccurate metadata. Camera raw v 6.7 is displayed instead of the latest installed ver 7.1. Also lens serial numbers are not shown or are missing. In lens specification f/0 shows up which of course is wrong.
Can anyone shed any light on this?

Just to be sure, try a short procedure...
1. Open a raw file into Camera Raw.
2. From the fly-out menu select Camera Raw Defaults.
3. Convert the image, opening into Photoshop.
4. Check File - File Info. Do you see the problem there?
5. File - Save As a JPEG.
6. Check Properties of the file, ensure it's the one you just saved by looking at the date, and see if you see the problem there.

How to transfer my daughter's iTunes from her Vista laptop to MacBook Pro?

I am trying to transfer my daughter's iTunes from her Vista laptop to her new MacBook Pro and I cannot figure out why iTunes cannot find the songs. Help??
Her old laptop runs Windows Vista and her MacBook Pro is running Leopard.....I copied the iTunes folder under My Music on the PC and then dropped in the Music folder under iTunes. I can see the songs when we opened up iTunes but when you try and play the song, a message pops up saying iTunes cannot find the music file, and asks if I want to try and locate it. I locate it and nothing happens.
I spent $100 at the Annapolis Apple Store so she could go in on her One-0n-One and have all of this done for her. When she went in, they told her she could leave her laptop and macbook and it would take up to three days!!!! That was unacceptable....they then told her she needed to transfer everything and then come in for the One-On-One and have any questions she had answered. SO, I am trying to complete the transfers and everything worked like a charm until I tried to tackle the iTunes part.
Any help would be deeply appreciated!!
Charlie

Can I run Vista on my MacBook?

Will I be able to run Vista on my MacBook with bootcamp? I am planning to allocate 28 GB to the Windows partition as I do not run a lot of Mac OS X programs, but nonetheless...that leaves 6 GB of free space. Is that enough? Will Vista run well?
btw is OS X better or Vista better? The UI on Vista is very cool.

Nobody knows that vista will runs well until it is officially release and you install market version not the beta version.
For pc user vista ui might look awesome but maybe for most mac os x user, those ui has been there in os since os migrate to os X from os 9.
Also consider stability and security over a cool ui, for vista is build from the scratch apart from dos and win 2000/xp engine.
Every software have had their own follower and user and have their selling point or feature that not available as trade mark for its respectively os., and I am sure vista has that too, but it still beta tester until now and I don't want to speculate with that.
ps: you need at least 5 GB for windows partition as boot camp suggested.
Good Luck.

The normal value of battery capacity for macbook pro

Hi there,
I noticed my battery full charge capacity value is way below the technical specification from Apple.
For macbook pro 15" early 2011 version a 77.5W battery is built-in.
However, so far after 4 cycle, my full charge capacity is 6913mAh.
It seems that I missed something. Though I didn't really notice the initial value when it's brandnew.
Statistically what's the average value of the new battery will be ? around 75W or 7500mAh? Any idea?

Best battery info resource is here:

I bought the wrong version as I need it for macbook pro but somehow bought windows...help

I guess I will have to wait until normal office hours. I have no idea why it bought the window version as I did not realize that is what was selected. I hope I can get it exchanged for the photoshop elements 13 for macbook pro retina display. Anyone know if this is an easy switch and one they will do?

When buying HD versions of shows, only the HD copy will automatically download now (probably due to requests from people who don't need/want the SD version and complained about it being forced on them). The SD copy can be downloaded from your purchases area in iTunes, though. On the main iTunes Store page, go to Purchases under the Quick Links and then select TV shows. Click the "Not On This Computer" button. Uncheck the "Download HD when available" box and you should then see the SD copies of the shows and be able to download them.
Regards.
