What happens if you install Windows on your Mac partition

I'm curious, is there such a video on youtube that shows this?

Step One: backup
Step Two: read the pdf guide
Installing Windows normally partitions some of your hard drive (unfragmented contiguous free space) which Windows installs on.
There are dozens of links, articles, how to, just type into Bing. I think the ones with screen snapshots and well written tutorial are going to be better.

    Of course there is. There is with any computer system that you connect to the internet or transfers files to and from. When you run Windows on your Mac you increase the chance from zero that you will get a Windows based virus to virtualy the same risk as any other Windows user.
    The weaknesses in Windows OS and applications are well trodden by virus and worm malcontents the world over. That doesn't mean that OSX is exempt though. All it will take is once and the entire Mac world will sit up and take notice......

  • What happens if you install Windows 8 work in Boot Camp?

    Yes, I know it's not officially supported, but I've seen several references to people installing it anyway - what does and doesn't work? Can anyone explain? Magic Trackpad is allegedly problematic....
    Any pointers gratefully.

    It's unsupported so the outcome is kinda random, everything may work, nothing may work, or something in between. It's at your risk.

    Judging by the numerous posts on here, there is a very good chance that the computer will not boot up.

  • How to Install Windows 7 on mac?

    How can i get Windows 7 installed on my mac?
    Is it pre installed ? can i get it pre installed when i buy a new one ?

    Robin,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    MS Windows must be purchased separately, you can buy it anywhere Windows is sold including Best Buy, Fry's, online stores etc. Next you must decide how you want to install it. Primarily there are 2 ways, Bootcamp or using Parallels or VM Ware Fusion, the differences are:
    Bootcamp is free and comes with Leopard and Snow Leopard. It allows the user to boot their Mac in either MS Windows (XP, Vista and now Win 7) OR OS X but not both simultaneously. In short when you boot you are turning your Mac into a Windows machine. Apple officially supports XP and Vista but doesn't officially support Win 7 installation yet. However many people have done successful Win 7 installations. Look over the Windows on a Mac video here.
    The next way is to us either Parallels or VM Fusion. Both products essentially do the same thing, allow the user to run Windows within OS X. This is productive if you want to move files across platforms or don't like the hassle of rebooting every time you want to change OS's. There are many reviews on Parallels and Fusion (just use Google), read those over and then decide which one you would like. They will cost you roughly $60-$80 and can be purchased directly from the manufacturer or most Apple resellers.
    Note: Remember when you install Windows on your Mac the partition it is installed on will be susceptible to all the virus's and other malware any MS Windows machine is so use Windows anti malware and virus software to protect your computer. Any virus's will not affect OS X though.
    Regards,

  • I'm trying to install windows 8 on mac, but after partitioning and restarting, it stucks on blue logo and i waited 20 minutes but nothing happened, what can i do, please help.

    I'm trying to install windows 8 on mac, but after partitioning and restarting, it stucks on blue logo and i waited 20 minutes but nothing happened, what can i do, please help.

    I think there's some remmants left over from when Apple transferred stuff over. We can try a quick fix, but if that doesn't work, I think the only option is to clean install OSX and then install Windows.
    open disk utility, confirm that you only have 1 partition (mac journaled)
    restart and PRAM reset
    open disk utility and repair permissions twice
    restart boot camp assistant
    Does it work?
    If not, I would boot holding command+R, choose disk utility from the menu and completely erase your HD (formatting it as mac journaled again). Then, install OSX on this HD. Once OSX is installed, don't copy your files over from the backup yet. Instead, start boot camp assistant and see if you can get Windows installed. You can copy back your other files after we get Windows installed.

  • Two part question 1) what happens if you  sign into messages beta on os x lion 10.7.5 after it expired? does the whole application not work or just imessage? 2) does installing messages beta on os x lion 10.7.5  delete ichat?

    Two part question
    1) what happens if you  sign into messages beta on os x lion 10.7.5 after it expired? does the whole application not work or just imessage? can you stil use AIM, jabbar, google talk, or yahoo?  if you open messages beta does it immediately tell you that messages beta expired?
    2) does installing messages beta on os x lion 10.7.5  delete ichat or just transform ichat into messages beta giving the illusion that ichat is deleted?

    Hi,
    It was never completely clear whether it was just hidden or whether Apple ran a download page for iChat 6.
    As the Download for Messages Beta was separate and "Deleted" iChat it would seem it would be another download for iChat 6.
    iMessages will not function as it is only an Account type within Messages and iChat 6 does not have it.
    Therefore messages on the iPhone will not sync to the Mac. (until you get Mountain Lion and Messages in that OS X version).
    Mountain Lion and it's full version of Messages will not sync the iMessages that have happened in between the 14th December 2012  (end date of Messages beta) and the Install of Mountain Lion if you decide on that route.

  • HT5312 what happens if you forget your security questions

    what happens if you dont know your security questions

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • What happens when you get Error 1905??

    ERROR 1905 MODULE C:/PROGRAM FILES/ITUNES/ITUNESMINIPLAYER.DLL
    FAILURE TO UNREGISTER
    HRESULT-2147200472
    CONTACT YOUR SUPPORT PERSONNEL
    Okay...so what do I do? After this it goes to "stopping services", but says it is unable to do that. Then when I open I-tunes it says that the part of the program where the computer connects to the ipod was not installed correctly. this is soooo frustrating. my brother's had an ipod shuffle for about 2 years so itunes was already installed. i was just trying to update it so my ipod video could be read.
    iPod with Video   Windows XP  

    Sorry no but here is some info anyway,
    We increased MaxPermSize from 192 to 512
    We also increased min and max JVM Heap size to 768 and 2048 respectively.
    Since then I think we have not experienced this problem more than once.
    We also have one server with the default parameters and it seems to work fine.
    I believe that size, and number of simultaneous request/responses have an impact  on this.
    We will now install the latest updates and after that decide whether to start logging jvm activities or not.
    Best regards

  • No Adobe support for CC Team Members if you have installed Parallels on your Mac

    No Adobe support for CC Team Members if you have installed Parallels on your Mac
    First let me make it clear my iMac is running native OS X 10.8.5 and all Adobe Creative Cloud Apps are install on the iMac running natively in the OS X system environment. I only have Parallels Desktop 8 for Mac installed to run Microsoft Office software in Windows 7 when needed (because PowerPoint for Mac sucks big time compared to the PC version)… absolutely no Adobe CC Apps have been installed on the Parallels virtual PC environment.
    I have been having problems with Creative Cloud Desktop not updating so I uninstalled it and tried to install the latest version from Adobe. I then get the following error:
    We've encountered the following issues:
    There seems to be a problem accessing a critical file/directory during download. For troubleshooting tips. please visit our customer support page. (Error code: 204)
    [retry] [cancel]
    This has happened all last week. Because we have been so busy at work I waited until the weekend to contact the 24/7 chat support.
    This was going well. I was sharing my desktop with the agent who was adjusting the permissions of some folder. The problem came when he launched chrome on Parallels and not on the MAC and tried to install the PC EXE version of CC desktop. When I pointed this out to the Agent he instantly stop the screen share and stated in the chat box that virtual computers are not supported and I must find my own solution without giving me an opportunity to explain.
    Every time I tried to start the chat again I was cut-off while trying to explain that Adobe CC was running natively under a native OS X and the Virtual PC was a separate to this
    Only after my 4th attempt (having per cut an pasted my arguement into the chat box) did a get any further. The Agent refused to continue to try and fix my problem but did say the Adobe engineers are aware of the "204" error
    Has anyone else had this "204" error installing Creative Cloud Desktop or can  direct me to a solution it would be much appreciated

    Unfortunately I am still getting the 204 error
    I download the Creative Cloud Desktop App at home and brought it into work to install — which failed
    I then tried to install the same file on the only Mac in the office not on Creative Cloud and it installed with out any problems
    I then tried plugging my iMac into the same ethernet socket incase it was a problem with the ethernet socket. No luck it still had the 204 error
    These are the Adobe download log files which show errors but they me nothing to me

I just want to use firefox as my browser and I am not comfortable with Google for very much of anything. Can you help me simply recover the functionality of your browser and explain how your growth has done this to my desktop computer? I do not need mobile and I hope my bookmarks and info are safe till I can find out what happened and fix it. Thank you for your time.
