Which driver on the Install DVD is for HFS+ read in Windows?

I installed Windows 7 Enterprise x64 on my MacBook of course about a week before Snow Leopard was released and have already gone through the tedious, time consuming process of getting all of the Windows drivers working for Win7x64. I really don't want to go through installing all of the various drivers again one by one (especially since I JUST did this) until I see the MAC partition in my Windows side (BootCamp) if at all possible... so does anyone know WHICH driver it is that will allow the HFS+ partition read? I really don't want to mud up my fresh Win7 installation by re-installing every BootCamp driver from the AppleOS CD. Thank you guys in advance, I really appreciate the help.

Yes Windows can, Leopard comes with the drivers for Windows to view HFS+. It does not need 3rd party software anymore as I have personally done this on another mac in the office. I went through and installed ALL drivers all at the same time though, so I don't know which one is the one that allows this. In Windows, it displays the MAC partitions as drive letters and you can read the partitions, you cannot write, just like NTFS.

  • Which driver on the Snow DVD allows the track pad to scroll?

    I successfully installed 64-bit Win 7 Pro on my MacBook Pro 3.1, and I can right click, but I can’t scroll by dragging. Now, since this MBP is from before multi-finger gestures were introduced, save for scrolling with two fingers and right-clicking by placing two fingers on the pad and clicking with the button, which of the drivers on the Snow DVD will install scrolling like I can with Mac OS X? Peace.

  • Can you buy the Install DVD of OS X v10.5.1?

    Does anyone know if you buy Leopard now or use the up-to-date form do you get the Install DVD with the most recent release (10.5.1) or do you still get 10.5 and have to update online? Does anyone know if Apple usually updates the Install DVDs only for major releases? I was told by Apple on the phone that they do not update the Install DVDs unless it's a "major" release. Does installing 10.5.1 from a DVD any better than installing 10.5 and updating online to 10.5.1?
    Thanks

    There is absolutely no reason to wait for an updated DVD. There is no difference between an updated DVD installation and an installation that has been updated via Software Update. More valid reasons may exist to hold off but this ain't it.
    I'm personally holding off while waiting for a couple of updates from developers whose software I use. AlchemyTV DVR is one for example. You should make a careful study of what applications you depend on that must work under Leopard. Various reliable Mac sites like MacFixit and MacInTouch have user lists of what works, what doesn't, what has been updated to work, when updates are expected, and so on. It is naive to think everything on one's system will work with Leopard when Leopard itself is a massive upgrade with many changes, additions, and subtractions.

  • How do I download the Install DVD for Snow Leopard?

  • Hard disk errors, but can't boot from the install DVD

    My mini reports disk errors when I run the Disk Utility Verify on the main boot hard drive. However, I have not been able to boot the computer from the install DVD. I try restarting while holding down the C key, and still it boots from the internal drive. I've tried option-restart, and do not get the opportunity to select a boot disk. An external USB drive, on which I periodically clone the main disk, now does not mount. Disk Utility says it too has errors, and it is unable to repair them. A third external USB drive appears to be OK.
    The computer is still operating, apparently normally, otherwise. This computer should still be under warranty. I bought it in April, as I recall.
    Any help will be much appreciated.

    <sigh>
    I've attempted most of these things.
    The drive on which I had the system clone died at essentially the same time as the problem came up with the errors on the main drive. I suspect this was due to the same root cause, or a related problem, just because of the timing. I'd cloned the main drive approximately a week previously with apparently no problem.
    I also have been unable to boot from the install DVD.
    The other external drive, the one that still works, is one I use mostly for rolling backups of my documents, photo and music folders. It is not big enough to hold a clone of the main drive. In any case, I'm assuming that if I attempted to clone it now, it would either not work, or I'd simply copy the errors to the clone.
    I haven't used the Time Machine, since I didn't feel I had an external drive large enough to make it useful.
    What 3rd party software do you recommend? Keep in mind, as I also mentioned earlier, that the computer is still under warranty, and I'm loath to do anything that could be construed as voiding the warranty.
    I'm also on a pretty restricted budget, due to recent car repairs.

  • Mac Book Pro, Bad disk but I can't get the install DVD to work

    I have a 13" macbook pro that started to have problems with different apps.  They would crash immediately when you clicked on them.  I ran disk utility repair permissions and everything was ok but when I went to verify the disk it reported that the drive was corrupt.  I bought a new drive, installed the drive and inserted the Install DVD that came with the machine.  After a few minutes I get a message "You need to restart your computer.  Hold down the power button...."  I tried using a Leopard install DVD and same problem.  Originaly this machine came with SL but I figured since I am using a new disk (unformated I assume) that any OS install DVD would get me formatted and back to a point where I could connect with Time Machine and restore. I swapped out the RAM, HDD cable and DVD drive with another MPP with the same results.  Any thoughts would be appreciated.

    Thanks OrangeMarlin. 
    I have several MPP's.  The one that is failing originaly came with SL.  I don't have an SL disk so I attempted to use a Leopard to install a brand new disk drive.  I would have thought that it didn't matter if it was SL or Leopard since it was a new disk (no reference of what was on it before).  I could see an issue with compatability between a Intel OS on a G5 but SL vs Leopard on an Intel MPP should be OK.  Thoughts?
    The install DVD I am using "should" be the correct disk.  I understand the sensitivity of using the disk that came with the machine.  The reason I think this it is the ocrrect disk is it says 13" MPP and 10.6 for the OS which fits the description of what this machine had on it when it was purchased.  I don't believe I have any other 13" machines with SL. 
    I also ran the diagnostics last eve.  All passed. 
    I'm thinking of putting a working 10.5 disk from another machine into the failing machine and running Verify from the disk utility to see if I get the same error.  If so, I would assume my disk controller is bad and need a new motherboard.

  • Installing 10.6 on a formatted drive with no install DVD

    Hi,
    I have an intel 2006 core duo iMac which has a formatted drive (Mac OS Extended (Journaled)). I want to instal Snow Leopard on this iMac, the latest version of OS X I can I believe, but I do not have the install DVD.
    I have a Snow Leopard DVD which came with my MacBook Pro, but when I tried to use that an error told me that Snow Leopard could not be installed on the iMac. I know it can as I have seen it running.
    Is this because I am trying to use the DVD that came with my MacBook Pro? If so, what are the options available to me to get a copy of the OS that I can install from?
    Many thanks,
    Ian

    You cannot use an installer DVD for another model. They are usually incompatible and it's illegal.
    You can purchase Snow Leopard by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will receive physical media - DVD - by mail.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store.
    Depending upon the actual model you have you may be able to install Lion on it. You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.

  • How do I create a start-up disk image without restarting from the Install DVD?

    (I know this is not MacBook Pro question per se, but I can't find a software discussion this applies to.)
    Situation:
    My MBP is running, but it's acting up and Onyx tells me that the start-up volume needs repair and directs me to use Disk Utility.
    But to repair a volume using Disk Utility, you must restart from the original Install DVD (or some other start-up volume).
    But although the MBP will read my old Leopard Install DVD and the Install DVD that came with my MBP, it refuses to restart from either of them. (Trying to do so gets as far as the Apple logo on a gray screen and then hangs there; all disk activity ceases.)
    Question:
    How can I (is it even possible to) create a start-up volume on my external FW drive without starting my MBP from a DVD?
    In other words, is there a way to either:
    a) create a disk image from the Install DVD on my external FW drive and then designate that disk image as my start-up drive?
    OR
    b) create a disk image on my MBP's internal drive that I can then use to run a System Install on my external drive?
    (BTW, I know I can create disk images using Disk Utility, but it offers many options for type, compression, etc., that are beyond me. )
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

    OS X Lion includes a new feature called Lion Recovery that includes all of the tools you need to reinstall Lion, repair your disk, and even restore from a Time Machine backup without the need for optical discs.
    Restart your Mac holding down the Command-R to enter the Recovery HD.
    From there you can use Disk Utilty.

  • MBPro won't read SL DVD - can I copy the install DVD on a PC?

    My MacBook Pro won't read the SL install DVD (as others have had problems with). I have access to a PC with DVD to DVD copy ability. My question is, can I burn a copy of the install DVD to another DVD and use that copy (assuming my MB will be able to read the copy DVD)? Is this possible? Any tips on how would be much appreciated - a shame to buy the install DVD and unable to use it. Buying an external DVD drive doesn't make sense, as I plan on upgrading my MB with the year. Thanks!

    My question is, can I burn a copy of the install DVD to another DVD and use that copy (assuming my MB will be able to read the copy DVD)?
    I'm not sure why you think that would work. Either the disk is damaged, in which case you won't be able to magically create a good copy, or your drive is damaged, in which case it's not going to read a copy any better than the original.
    Is this a new disk, or have you used it before? Is it readable in other machines? Can your Mac read other disks?

    Not advised it will not work or fit correctly you need to have a adapter to make that fit and as the other poster said your speed will be slower. Also you can get laptop drives each that are 2tb in both bay without needing to take out the OD drive itself. Did you look into that before getting a SSD.

  • Starting from the install dvd

    I am would like to reset the admin and the password. Help says to start from the install dvd. I put it in held the c key untill the gray apple came on. The drive starts like it is going to start, then stops and the zero with the slash comes on and all stops. This an IMac G5 running 10.4.10, using the 10.4 dvd.
    Thanks

    Make sure the Install DVD is the one that *originally came w/your computer*, not scratched, dirty or smudged.
    The Install DVD does take awhile to complete. Just keep holding down the "c" key until it takes.

    Yes you can make multiple backups on one hard drive, for example if you’ve 1TB hard drive installed in your PC and you’ve two Mac Machines with 500GB drive each then you just make two backup images with size of 500GB each.

  • My Mail program has gone south on Leopard on my 27-month old Macbook. I can't send, even though the server details are correct. I tried reinstalling from the install DVD - but no go: no longer compatible, evidently.. What to do?

    My Mail program has gone south on Leopard on my 27-month old Macbook. I can't send, even though the server details are correct. I tried reinstalling the Mail program from the install DVD, but no go; apparently that two-year old Mail is no longer compatible with my up-to-date Leopard. I tried deleting the account (hotmail) from Mail and setting up a different account (Yahoo). After loading all the inbox two things happened: first, I still couldn't send, and second, when I closed the Mail window the whole inbox then disappeared and doesn't come back. Although I couldn't reinstall the Mail program from the install DVD, would it still be possible to reinstall the whole system from that DVD? If I do, will I lose files or will there be another problem since that DVD is now over two years old?
    Thanks for any suggestions; they will be much appreciated.
    P.S. I've just noticed that now I can't change the desktop picture: I go through the motions in Preferences, but the new picture doesn't appear on the desktop. Is there a systemic problem?

    You are waiting for an apology to something that happened over a year ago? Really? This is why there is a manager in the store. You have a problem with an employee you speak to the manager. Just like you did on the phone. You would have gotten your apology in July 2013.
    Here is the information about your upgrade fee.
    Upgrade Fee
    It is because when you have a problem you (customers) go running to the store and want to take up the time of the reps to fix it. Other carriers have third parties that deal with technical support and those locations are few and far between. VZW provides this directly through their stores. Also, when you subsidize a $650 and pay $200 VZW has to pay $400. Your monthly service fee doesn't begin to scratch the surface of paying that back. Not with all the money that is put into the network and its improvements.
    Then over a year later you get someone on the phone who apologized and offered to waive the fee on your phone and you didn't take it? That offer won't come down the pike again.
    One thing you should know is that all these employees are people and as such they sometimes come off cross. I doubt that you speak to everyone so sweetly all the time. Cut them a little slack and put this whole thing behind you after 15 months. Either upgrade with VZW or move on.

  • Which drive is the boot drive?

    I installed a 2nd hard drive in my G4 dual 1ghz sometime around 2001. I'm now on a G5 and would like to pull the 2nd drive from the G4 and put it in a firewire enclosure to use with the G5. How can I tell which drive is the boot drive and which is the secondary drive? I kind of remember that the 2nd drive went in the lower bay but I'm not 100% sure. Any other caveats to pulling out this drive? Thanks in advance.
    Power Mac dual 1ghz    

    The system profiler should tell you the serial number of the hard drive, or type of hard drive when you select it in the IDE bus. Compare that with the label on the drive itself.
    Both bays can have boot drives, though typically master jumper drives are better able to boot than slaves on certain operating systems.
    You can tell the existing boot drive, because it is the first drive that appears in the upper right hand corner of the desktop if you view and arrange the desktop by kind.
    If you just want to transfer data over from a G4 to a G5, you may want to use Target Disk Mode:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58583
    Note, if the G4 is the kind that can boot into Mac OS 9, set it as the Target machine. In addition, if it is running 10.2.2 or earlier it should be the target machine, because 10.2.2 and earlier don't understand the Journaled operating system which may be installed on your G5.
