What is the ISO image that boot camp is asking for when i try to in tall windows 7 on my mac book air?

I am at the point in boot camp where i am creating a bootable USB drive for windows installation, it has a flash drive selected but is asking for an ISO image, i am installing windows 7 and have no idea where the iso image is on the disk.

It is asking for an .iso image of the Windows bootable installer DVD. This would be the .iso file you would get had you purchased Windows and downloaded your purchase. If you have the Windows DVD then you don't need to do what you are doing. Just boot from the DVD to install Windows.
Open Boot Camp Assistant and click on the large button, Print Documentation. Read carefully before proceeding.

i was trying to download windows 7 on mac book air 10.8.2.seems like i didnt copy my windos disk on the usb properly at the begining,so after the boot camp steps the screen is black and telle me to put the write disk.
eventually i made a coorect usb windows 7 and put it back to continue as it was saying so,but there is no change and the screen still is dark and says no bootable disk ,insert.
how to solve the problem?

Right now I have 6 different systems installed. Windows XP, 7, and 8 plus Linux Mint, Commodore, and OS X Snow Leopard (for old times sake), all running on Mountain Lion.
I recommend reading the user manual as it greatly helps getting through the steps, however an intuitive person should pick it up fairly easily.
Thanks to BobTheFisherman for the link.
There are other ways to get Windows on a Mac but I'm a big fan of open-source software.
Give it a try. You might like it or it may not be your cup of tea.

Your MacPro is a UEFI model based on How to identify Mac Pro models - Apple Support since it has a Model Identifier of 6,1. From Bootcamp Info.plist
      <key>PreUEFIModels</key>
        <array>
                <string>MacBook7</string>
                <string>MacBookAir5</string>
                <string>MacBookPro10</string>
              <string>MacPro5</string>

1. Use Boot Camp: System requirements for Microsoft Windows operating systems - Apple Support to download the appropriate drivers from the Apple servers manually to a flash drive. You will need Boot Camp Support Software 5.1.5640.
System Requirements
MacBook Air (11-inch & 13-inch, Mid 2013)
MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch & 15-inch, Late 2013)
Mac Pro (Late 2013)
iMac (21.5-inch & 27-inch, Late 2013)
Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1, 64 bit
2. Remove all physical external drives except the OS X and the designated Windows drive. Manually partition your drive and create a Free Space partition of the size you want. This will be split into a 128MB MSR and remainder MS Data partition. This is called EFI installation of Windows.
3. Insert your Windows DVD in the built-in Optical Drive.
4. Plug-in your USB2 flash drive from step 1. Remove all other external peripherals, except Keyboard/Mouse/Display. The Keyboard/Mouse being wired eliminates issues with Bluetooth.
5. Start BCA and choose the last option 'Install/Remove Windows'. Choose the EFI Boot from the DVD. You can also do the same using the Alt/Option key when powering up the MacPro.
6. Windows installer should start. If it does not, please post back with any error messages.
I assume that you have not modified Bootcamp info.plist to try and create a bootable USB.

I am confused by the installation step that requires you to create a bootable USB drive for windows installation. What is the ISO image and why has it selected my Passport backup drive as the destination disc?

In the bootcamp installation it asks me to create a bootable USB drive for Windows Installation. To do so, I must choose an ISO image. What is that? When I click "choose" I don't understand the options presented. Is this the destination of the partition or where Windows will reside on the Mac? Why does it also indicate the the destination disk si my WD Passport Back up drive?

OK, so I have an apple superdrive hooked up to my mini (along with my Passport back up drive). I also have the discs for both 64bit and 32bit Windows along with the product key. I am still not sure what to do when faced with the options after "choose".

Boot Camp Question .... I just bought a 2013 late model Mac Book Pro Retina and am wondering if it is worth installing windows through boot camp. If I install the windows component in order to run an exe file and its component "Declans Korean Flash Cards"

I just bought a 2013 late model Mac Book Pro Retina and am wondering if it is worth installing windows through boot camp.
If I install the windows component in order to run an exe file and its component "Declans Korean Flash Cards"... will it make my mac suseptible to viruses overall due to having a windows component? also will it make my mac slower as well

If you are only going to use one or two window only programs then I wouldn't waste the space. Try WinonX it allows you to install exe. Files on Mac without installing windows.

What is the best email that is similar to gmail for macs?

I am tired of having to deal with the "all mail" tab and it making doubles of all of my email. When the icloud comes out i was thinking of giving it a try, but are there any suggestions? I also have a blackberry so keep that into consideration i want an iphone again and will be getting one soon.

If you are using Mail to connect to GMail, note that there's a solution to the All Mail issue. See Hiding GMail’s “All Mail” from Apple Mail*. That solution should also hide it from an iPhone or Blackberry connecting to GMail via IMAP.
If you're just using the web interface for GMail, any other web-based e-mail system would work. None will be very similar to GMail.

Answered my own question on the power supply, now I will answer the questions on the battery, and the lower right hand corner having those ghost shadows, and what they actually are. To answer the battery question, I simply went, and custom made one using the current top of the line AMD 3550MX APU, and it comes with the standard 6 cell battery so that question is answered. On to the next.
The ghosty white shadows some owners see on this model, and on others in the Pavilion line, are simply the HP logo light shining through the screen. Some like the light, some don't. I happen to like it, but as others have asked, I wish there was a way to turn it off, and on. Ok, 3 of my questions answered by own ingenuity, lol, I think I'll start a thread specific to this model as many owners are out there as this model too, has been sold out by Best Buy, and seems to be a lone child in that there is very little, correct, info on this model. We need to band together, and answer all the questions that remain on the dv6-6b47dx model.

I have a 5 month old iMac running Lion and W7 with the latest version of boot camp . It has been operating flawlessly until I went to reboot into Mac tonight. Screen went black, and system is unresponsive. I've tried force quitting and turning power off. Hard drive starts, there's a small amount of drive activity and that's it.

Hi Jane, your info may still be there, look in the Users folder at root of the drive, how many users are there there?
It sounds like this may have happened...

Product specifications of the latest mac book air

Hi, I want to buy the latest version of the mac book air. How can I ensure that I buy the right one? What are the product specifications that I need to look at when searching online for my macbook air?
Thanks in advance. Br, Debora

Hi again, sorry to insist but I just want to give you a concrete example
I saw the followiing on amazon
"apple MacBook Air MD231LL/A 13.3-Inch Laptop (NEWEST VERSION)"
Does this "MD231LL/A" attached to the product model mean something? Do I need to look at this code when I buy my mac book air?
Thanks again for your reply.

I recently purchased a time capsule and thought I would put my itunes on it as an external drive as my mac book air only has 120gb. However I can not be connected to the internet and the TC at the same time in order to download the files to the TC. Help?

I recently purchased a Time Capsule and put my iTunes library on there so that I wasn't using up my hard drive space. Only 120gb on my mac book air. However when I download songs from iTunes I can not be connected wirelessly to the internet at the same time. Can I hard wire my TC in to my mac so that I can treat the TC as just an external hard drive? Thanks

Initially, you asked if you can hardwire your MBA to the TC. The answer is yes, by using the optional USB Ethernet adapter that Apple provides. However, in order for your MBA to access the TC's internal or USB-attached HDD, it would need to establish a network connection to it. This would be true of any NAS device on an Ethernet network. Therein, lies the problem. Your MBA cannot connect to two networks simultaneously.
One option then, would be to have two separate iTunes Media folders; one on the MBA & the other on the TC. This way, you can download the music to your MBA when connected to the Internet at the AirPort lounge, and then use iTunes Consolidate Library feature to transfer the audio files to the TC's iTunes Media Folder location. A great program to help maintain multiple iTunes Librarys and/or Media Folders, that you may want to consider, is PowerTunes.

Can I leave my mac book air plugged in all the time at work, without damaging the battery?

I know people may have asked this questions many times, however I intend on using my mac book air at work and would like know I I can leave it on powered on in the office and the unplugged at night?. Would it damage my MacBook?

Yes. It will not damage the battery. You do not need to unplug it at night. If you use it from the AC charage all the time, then about once every two months you should use it on battery power until the battery drops below 20%. Then fully recharge the battery after which you should allow the battery to "rest" for about one hour. It is OK to use the computer during that time but do not yet connect the AC adaptor. Follow this practice and your battery should have a good life.

How do I burn an .ISO from MSDN that Boot Camp will recognize?

Hello, I have a developers license that allows me to download the Windows 7 installers from the MSDN site in .ISO form. I can't seem to burn any of the installers to a disc that Boot Camp assistant will recognize as an installer DVD.
I have read and followed ALL of the solutions and still can not burn a recognizable disc. I have followed the IMGBURN instructions while in Parallels running Windows too.
Does anyone know how to create a compatible Boot Camp installer disc from the ISO's available on the MSDN network for Windows 7, preferably the 64-bit English Ultimate version?
I have tried the following instructions while in Windows 7 running in Parallels but they are either inaccurate or poorly written. If you have used these instructions with success, please translate into plain english because it just doesn't work in the VM I used.
1. Insert Windows Install disc into DVD drive
2. Using the build mode of imgburn, go to the advanced tab, then bootable disc and then select your DVD folder +--(saw that correction)+ in the extract boot image drop down list . Go ahead and extract the boot image and store it somewhere on your hard drive +(where is the extract button?)+
3. Go to the information tab and add your DVD drive as the source file
4. Options tab, check that file system is ISO9660 + IDF and UDF revision is 1.02 (should be anyway by default)
5. Go to Advanced tab, sub tab Restrictions and further sub tab ISO9660: Set Folder / File length to Level X and tick the four check boxes at the bottom (allow more than 8 directory levels, Allow more than 255 characters in path, Allow files without Extensions, Don’t Add ‘;1’ Version number to Files. (Note it’s this bit that actually solves the problem the rest is effectively just duplicating the existing disc)
6. Move to the bootable disc tab: Click the tick box to make the image bootable, emulation type to “none (custom)” and the browse and select the boot image you previously extracted from the windows disc. Finally set Sectors to load to 4.
7. Click the big create iso button to create the bootable iso. +(there is no big 'create' button, there is a build button though)+
8. And use that iso to burn a new install disc.
--THANKS, searching for the solution.

When I had boot issues with CDs, I would use BCD and create a bootable disc rather quickly. http://www.nu2.nu/bcd/ I can't verify that it works with Vista or Win 7, but you'd have to try it yourself. Very easy to use and hadn't failed me in the past.
