What are the steps to install Windows 8.1 on my Macbook Pro w/retina using VMware?

I have never attempted anything like this so I'm being (overly) cautious. I already have vmware installed. Do I need Windows 7? 8.1? 32 or 64 bit? SO many questions and I can't find the answers on Windows or vmware's sites.

There are 2 ways to use Windows with Fusion. You can either install it directly as a Virtual Machine, or you can install it as a Boot Camp parttion and you will have the option of using it with Fusion or booting directy into Windows. I prefer to do it the latter way.
If you install Windows within Fusion directly once you open Fusion
1. Select "New" from the File menu.
2. Double Click on Install from Disk or Image
3. If your using a DVD it will show in the next Window, or if you are using an ISO click on "Use another disc image..." and locate the image
4, Click Continue and then follow the prompts through installation.
If you want to Install Windows via Bootcamp, you should use the Bootcamp assistant. You will need the Windows DVD or disc image, and an 8GB flash drive. Just run the assistant and follow the prompts. Once Windows is installed, run Fusion and then:
1. Select "New" from the File menu.
2. Click on More Options...
3. Click on Install from Boot Camp
4. Click Continue and then follow the prompts to setup your Boot Camp partition to be used in Fusion.

What are the chances on installing Windows 8 pro on mac?

Hi guys, i just wanna know if what are the chances on installing a windows 8 pro on mac?
I just bought a CD of windows 8 pro. Im planning to use it on my mac because i am currently studying a software which is applicable on windows such as Visual Studio 2008, 2010 or 2012.
I am planning to use bootcamp for windows 8 pro, i dont like to use parallels or vm.
and i heard about bootcamp doesnt support windows 8, is that true?
If it is true, so does it means it is not possible to use windows 8 using bootcamp?
Am i right that bootcamp offers the drivers or something?
Or can i just update the drivers for windows manually, u know the thing which u can found it on control panel on windows.

Running Windows 8 on my iMac right now buddy. You don't actually need Bootcamp to do all the heavy work for you - it's just a parition tool. However, you will need Bootcamp tools once Windows is installed to get the most out of windows. Without the Bootcamp tools installed, Windows will run - your mouse and keyboard should also work, but the resolution, graphics, speed.etc will all be a little over the place. I used Bootcamp tools 3.0 as it came with my iMac, not sure if the latest 4.0 works...
Boot Camp 5.1 is the latest version, but no version includes drivers for Windows 8.

Installing Windows XP on a new MacBook Pro with Retina Display.

I just purchased a new MacBook Pro with Retina display and need to install Windows XP on it so that I may run 3 Windows programs. I have watched a few videos on the internet on how to do this through Boot Camp Assistant, and it says at one point to use the driver CD from Mac to install the drivers. I did not get any CD's with my new MacBook Pro. I also saw on some of these boards that said Boot Camp does not support Windows XP. The people at the Apple store said it can run Windows XP, so I have ordered an original version.
Question 1. Does my MacBook Pro with Retina Display running OS X version 10.8.3 able to run Windows XP?
Question 2. How do I install the drivers?

Would this work? And also, what is the VM I need? Where do I get it?

With 6 what are the steps to install Oracle 11gR2?

In public-yum at least there doesn't appear to be any oracle-validated to get the dependencies loaded before trying to install Oracle.
So what is the process with R6U0?

As Avi suggested, following the Oracle installation for OEL 5 is pretty fine - eventhough 11gR2 on OEL6 is not yet cetified.
I just received an exception on the missing package pdksh-5.2.14-30.6.x86_64.rpm. It was not required on OEL5, I'm not a Linux specialist but I have had to take it from OEL4.7, then everything is working fine.

What is the best pre-installed external hard drive for my macbook pro?

I need advise on what kind of pre-enstalled external hard drive which supports both usb and firewire to get for my new macbook pro? I would like to stay in the $100. range but am willing to go higher .

Pre-installed with what?
Your best bet is to always format a new hard drive, so there are no surprises.
If you buy an external HD specifying ready for Mac ( or some such) it will cost you more for nothing.

What are the things required to upgrade internal hard drive For Macbook Pro mid 2012 13 inch?

Hi,
I want to upgrade my internal drive but I don't know how to do that. I have already purchased a WD 1TB internal hard drive. However, I contacted apple support and they said if I try to upgrade the hdd myself, then the warranty of the macbook would be void. I am from India . I currently have a Macbook Pro mid 2012,13 inch.
Also, do i need to download a setup of Yosemite before changing the hdd?
Please guide me
Thanks and Regards
Abhineet Arora

You know what the impact will be on the warranty terms. If you want to install it yourself, look at this video:
http://eshop.macsales.com/installvideos/macbookpro_13_unibody_mid12_hd/
It is not very difficult. You will need a #00 Phillips and a #6 Torx drivers.
Ciao.

Can I install windows XP and Ubuntu in macbook pro ? (without using virtual machine )

Hi,
I am planning to buy new Apple Macbook Pro with i5 processor , 2.4 GHZ , 500GB HDD , 4GB RAM.
I want to know can I install ubuntu and windows XP on this Mac ?
I don't want to use VMWare (virtual machine) software to install these OS.
When system boots It should shows the options, which OS to open ?
is it possible to run and perform well 3 OS (including Mac) . or it will affect something ?

Two, yes, but not three.
head to you know Ubuntu support forum and see what they are up to, they might be able to guide you.
Do you use a Mac or will this be a first?
XP is EOL I am sure you know and no more patches or support, and with new Sandy Bridge and later motherboaords, lack of true support for SSDs often used in laptops... dying.

What are the steps for installing applet on real card?

Hi,
It has been a month that I am fighting to install applet on java card and now I am really confused where I am going wrong?
I have 3 sets of cards --
1 ) Gemalto (no specific name known) - ATR is --3B 6D 00 00 80 31 80 65 B0 84 01 00 AC 83 00 90 00
As gemalto customer support doesn't know about this card so I was unable to find its card manager AID. The standard Game expresso card manager AID does not work with this card.
2 ) Pre- Personalized NXP card-- This is JCOP 3.1 complaint pre-personalized card but i am not able to perform Init- Auth using a GPShell script. I have key but some how GPshell script does not work.
3) NXP Smart MX family cards(IBM JCOP v2.2 41) -- These cards are not pre-personalized. So what i am supposed to do with these cards so that they will be pre-personalized?
I will be really thankful for any kind of reply.
Edited by: Amit_D30 on Jul 28, 2008 4:59 AM

Any ways I got rid of this error as my card was supporting mode 201 of GPShell instead of mode_211.
But even with the mode_201 I am getting error as card cryptogram failed.

So should I try it again or Will my card get blocked? (out of 5-6 tries only one try returned me Card cryptogram failed error in other cases I was getting error as Invalid parameter P1,P2 )

What are the steps to Install adialog instance - Java

I have installed the SCS, database and Central instance. They all work fine. I need to install a dialog instance on another LPAR (AIX).
1) Do I run the install from the server where i want the dialog instance or from the CI Server?
2) Do I need any filesystems mounted from the Central Instance server?
According to the documentation I would say no, but it asks you for the profile directory during the install.
3) Is there anything else I need to do to get the install going?
Once installed do I start it from the CI server using something like startsap all? If so how does the CI know about the DI instance?
Thanks
Paul

Hi Paul,
1) Do I run the install from the server where i want the dialog instance or from the CI Server?
Run install from where you want to install dialog instance.
2) Do I need any filesystems mounted from the Central Instance server?
Yes! mount the profile filesystem.
3) Is there anything else I need to do to get the install going?
Check the installation guide as well as SAP OSS notes.
Once installed do I start it from the CI server using something like startsap all?
You can start java dialog instance from DI server using startsap/stopsap JC<instance number>
Hope this will help.

What are the steps I need to take to upgrade my Macbook with Tiger to Lion and the cloud? I have the install disk for Snow Leopard.

Hi Carol, good/sound advice by Ziatron so far.
We need more info about your Mac to see if it will even be capable,
So we know more about it...
At the Apple Icon at top left>About this Mac, then click on More Info, then click on Hardware> and report this upto but not including the Serial#...
Hardware Overview:
Model Name: iMac
Model Identifier: iMac7,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.4 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 4 MB
Memory: 6 GB
Bus Speed: 800 MHz
Boot ROM Version: IM71.007A.B03
SMC Version (system): 1.21f4
You'll need to buy SL/10.6 first & get it to 10.6.8, then get Lion... if you can run it.
Or if you can erase your disk...
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD256
Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
General requirements
   * Mac computer with an Intel processor
    * 1GB of memory (I say 2GB at least)
    * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
    * DVD drive for installation
    * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
    * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...
http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
It looks like they do still have it:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDAzOA
If it's a core Duo & not a Core2Duo, then it'll only run in 32 bit mode.
Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
Lion/101.7 System requirements
    •    x86-64 processor (Macs with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Intel Core i3, Intel Core i5, Intel Core i7, or Xeon processor.)
    •    At least 2GB of memory, (I say 4GB)
    •    Latest version of Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.8), with the Mac App Store installed
    •    At least 4GB of disk space for downloading, (I say 40GB at least)
Like Snow Leopard, Lion does not support PowerPC-based Macs (e.g., Power Macs, PowerBooks, iBooks, iMacs (G3-G5), eMacs).
Lion also does not support 32-bit Intel Core Duo or Core Solo based Macs. Rosetta is no longer available in Lion, which means Lion no longer supports PowerPC applications.
It looks like Apple will have Lion available on USB drives for $69...

What are the steps to make it seamless for a customer to use the install program and then use the installed program?

I wrote an install program (.exe) that is downloaded from a website. When run, it 1) leads a customer to browse to a directory, and 2) copies files (.exe, .dll, etc.) from a website to that directory. When I run, the installed program works.

This site https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/2kt85ked%28v=vs.110%29.aspx provides a basic description of the Visual Studio Windows Installer.
Near the bottom of the page is "You can unlock all the features of InstallShield by paying to upgrade to the full version of InstallShield." Where do I find info that describes the differences between the "free" and the "full"
versions?
bhs67
Hello,
The default feature does support the task for your requirement, so there is no need to pay for the other features unless you want to use some feature which is not free.
In addition, as this thread
InstallShield LE not available with VS 2012 RTM? shared, even through there is a link to InstallShield LE in the New Project dialog under Deployment solutions, but it belongs to third-party that I would recommend you consider posting this issue
at the following forum to get supports about InstallShield.

What are the steps to follow after you install a new Hard Drive on a 17in Macbook Pro mid 2009

I plan on installing a larger Hard Drive..the physical part is simple..but what are the steps after you close it up and hit the power button? Is there softwre on the mother board that will start the unit running??

A new Hard drive will not be Mac-formatted, so you will have to do that first. A copy of Disk Utility to do the job is also on the 10.6 Installer/Utilities DVD.
Boot to the installer DVD, but do not Install. Answer only the "what language" question, and wait a quarter minute for the menuBar to be drawn. Choose Disk Utility from the Utilities menu that appears.
Select the Hardware_name of the new Drive. Partition, one partition, ( Options ), GUID partition table. Name the partition: MacIntosh HD and choose Format: Mac OS X Extended (journaled). It will complete in a minute or two, as it only rewrite the Directory area.
If you wish to shake out your drive, you can erase it and Security Erase, Zero all data, one pass. But this takes HOURS.

What are the steps in deleting in add remove to install a clean version of itunes/quicktime?

what are the steps in deleting in add remove to install a clean version of itunes/quicktime?
What has to go, in order, like itunes-quicktime-mobile me, or?

There are two part when installing WebEnt.. The first one is the web server part where it installs the fortecgi.exe or other web server components. This should be installed where the web server is going to be running. This is usually not you development server. The second part is the http library and web designer part. This should be installed on the development server. The http library need to go through a install of its own to make it part of the central environment. After that all the developers will have access to the http library and all they will need to do is install the Web desinger part.
Hope this helps.
