Which of the earliest OS will support Boot Camp

I'm looking to buy a used Mac Pro desktop and I'm wondering what is the earliest version of the operating system and processor that will support boot camp and running Windows on the Mac?

Any, but I wouldn't touch any pre-2008.
You want 2008 for - support for Windows x64 is better; better choices in graphics cards.
Nothing to do with OS version etc but does hinge on EFI, 2008 brought EFI64 (Unified EFI 2.x).
As for supporting Boot Camp, all Intel Macs do. But not all are 'officially' supported to run 64-bit Windows.
Also, pre-2008 (and this is minor but people make a huge deal out of fear and lack of understanding) that Mac can boot OS X now with Snow Leopard into 64-bit kernel mode (a 'true' 64-bit OS, enforce 64-bit drivers, more on par with Windows 7 64-bit, can address more than 32GB RAM).

In which table the initial balances will be stored when loading via api

Hi all,
I am doing initial balances migration...
In which table the initial balances will be stored when loading though an api.. (pay_balance_upload.process).
First I have loaded data in to pay_balance_batch_headers and pay_balance_batch_lines tables..
Then called the api pay_balance_upload.process. and the data was reflecting correctly in front end.
But we need to reconcile the loaded data.. for that, can anyone please tell me in which the loaded balances would be stored..
I have identified two tables, pay_assignment_latest_balances
and pay_latest_balances
when I try to create a balance from frontend I can see the data in pay_latest_balances table..
But when I load via api I am not able to find it in any of these tables..
In addition to that can anyone please tell me when the data will be populated in pay_assignment_latest_balances and pay_latest_balances tables.
Awaiting for your help and quick response..
Thanks and Regards
Kishore

You have followed the correct process..As Vignesh said, you can use pay_balance_pkg.get_value to make sure you have the correct values uploaded but otherwise if you are able to see the values in the front end I wouldn't worry about the latest balances tables. These tables, as the name indicate, hold only the latest values and if a payroll (ran post the initial balance upload) has been rolled back, these are deleted since they are no longer available.
You can refer the below Metalink notes for a detailed explanation:

Which cache the Formula Engine will use in this case?

Say that a MDX query contains:
❶a calculated measure defined in the targeted cube, ❷and another
WITH MEMBER.
Which cache the Formula Engine will use in this case:
❶Query,
❷Global, or
❸both (query & global)? and why? .... illustrate as possible please.

Thanks Elvis ... but
❶ doesn't your reply, especially this part:
...But if we use WITH MEMBER keyword to define a calculated measure, it's the Storage Engine cache and not the Formula Engine cache....
contradict with Microsoft's white
paper: SQL
Server 2008 R2 Analysis Services Performance Guide? ... check the figure below please:
this is in page 36, where they are talking about the Formula Engine (or Query Processor, as they sometimes refer to it) types of cache. note the highlighted, they are saying that using the "WITH keyword within a query" forces the use of the "Query
Context" which is one of the formula engine cache (as they said).
Actually I've asked the main question because of this part of the same 36 page:
I wanted to know
❷ what will happen to the calculated measures (those defined in the cube) if combined with another calculated members defined using the WITH keyword, in the same query? are they going to be recalculated even if they are already
exist in the global cache?

My mac pro does not support boot camp (somehow)?

So for some reason every time I try and open the boot camp assistant I get this message "Boot camp assistant can not be used, This Mac does not support Boot Camp". I find this vary confusing as it should be able to (or so I assume as boot camp came pre installed). I don't Have a RAID set or even a RAID card for that matter. All the HD's are formatted to Mac OS Extended (Journaled). I'm not sure what else Im missing. I would consider using Parallels like on my macbook only that I'm trying to test out some rather graphic intensive games to see wether or not I want to build a gaming rig in the future, and virtual machines have this nasty habit of cutting my power in half.

"earlier versions of windows are not supported boot camp" with bootcamp 5.1.2

Hi everyone !
I have a problem about installing window 8.0 pro 64-bit with bootcamp ( v5.1.2 ). When I finished setting up, Bootcamp shows me a message as " earlier versions of windows are not supported boot camp " although I'm using bootcamp with 5.1.2 version. How can I resolve it ? My mac is mgxa2 mid 2014.
Thanks a lot !

Thanks for supporting to me .
According to "Boot Camp: System requirements for Microsoft Windows operating systems - Apple Supports" If I use bootcamp version equal or greater than 5, so I can do it. But my current bootcamp likes that. So why not ? . In the first time I set up though bootcamp , it's good but now it always shows that message .

I need help with boot camp. "Back up the disk and use Disk Utility to format it as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume. Restore your information to the disk and try using Boot Camp Assistant again."

This message appears every time I try to partition my disk:
"Back up the disk and use Disk Utility to format it as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume. Restore your information to the disk and try using Boot Camp Assistant again."
I verified my Macintosh HD disk on Disk utility and then tried to repair it, but I am unable to click the repair button.
It says it's not available because the startup disk is selected.
I don't know what to do or how to go about both these problems.
Please, any suggestions?

Which is the earliest generation iPod touch that will sucessfully stream BBC iPlayer listen again programmes wirelessly to a dock?

My second generation touch runs IOS 4.2.1 and will no longer update. What is the earliest generation that will run the necessary software to stream radio programmes wirelessly via the BBC iPlayer "listen again" facility?

According to this wikipedia article, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IOS_version_history, you need an iPod Touch 3rd generation or iPad 1st generation as minimum to run iOS 5.1. However, if you are going to get a new (or newish) device, I would recommend getting a more recent model for a bit of future proofing - the next time the BBC updates the app it will probably raise the minimum version of iOS too.

I want to install windows7 on my 27in iMAC. I have an OEM version of Win7 which is win pro 7, 64 bit english. I will use boot camp to partion the hard drive for a win7 install. Can I use this version for the installation ??

My iMAC is a 2011 3.4 GHz intel i7 based with a 27in display. A year ago, I bought a Microsoft win pro 7 64-bit english OEM OS to install over a newly assembled AMD PC. I never installed it. Now, I want to put it on my iMAC using either Apple Bootcamp or Parallels. The win 7 OEM package has a lot of verbage about using an OEM preinstallation kit (OPK) and that it must be preinstalled on the hard drive. Is it OK to install this win7 version following the Bootcamp instructions.?

Please post in the Boot Camp (not Bootcamp) forum I'm sure someone there can answer your quesiton if no one here is able to.

Official word on whether 3 TB drives will eventually support Boot Camp would be nice

I was about to buy a new iMac with a 3 TB drive, but then I learned that the 3 TB internal drive is not currently supported by Boot Camp.
It would be nice to get some official word on whether Boot Camp with a 3 TB drive will eventually be supported, or if an iMac with an internal 3 TB drive will be forever locked out of Boot Camp.
Boot Camp cannot install Windows to an external drive (which was a surprise to me, but this is in the official documentation), so there is currently no way to boot into Windows on an iMac with a 3 TB internal drive (although virtualization will still work).
Apparently this is a known issue that has to do with historical UEFI firmware issues and Windows not supporting large drives with MBR (master boot record). Additional discussion: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3827724?start=0&tstart=0
The discussions started in March (2012) and it appears that there is no official indication as to whether this problem is likely to be addressed.

Does the 975x platinum PE support boot from OCZ revodrive?

Hi all!
Does anyone know if the 975x platinum powerup edition motherboard supports an OCZ revodrive x2 on its second long scale PCIe slot and also boot from it?

The board is going to be 5 years old this year and the RevoDrive is a pretty new piece of hardware. That basically means three things:
1.) Active BIOS Development was stopped about 2 years ago. Whatever the case is with the RevoDrive, there will most likely not be a BIOS Fix in case any issues should surface.
2.) MSI has most likely never tested an OCZ RevoDrive 2 on this mainboard is most probably not going to do so in the future (they won't dig every old board out of the archive to check compatibility with newer devices -> that kind of job is to time consuming & would never be finished)
3.) The number of users that still have this mainboard in active use, actually tried a RevoDrive and are therefore able to share their experiences is rather low.
Basically, your only chance is that a user that fits into the category outlined under 3.) finds this thread by accident and is willing to provide feedback. If that does not happen, you are basically on your own. Test it and see for yourself. That would be my advice. It should actually work. The RevoDrive 2 is first and foremost a Silicon Image RAID Controller which dates back to 2005/06 and it is therefore rather old itself.

More detail and a reply for the CQ50 - 130US will not boot with 8gb ram post

The specs, on the web site say that the max memory supported is 3GB DDR2 because the notebook was built with the OS Vista(32 bit) installed so that’s why the manual has the 3 GB max. memory supported limit. The 32 bit OS can’t address memory over 3.12 GB. To my mind that is not a spec. but rather a tech. writer who made a mistake and copied the sales literature. With Windows 7(64 bit) Pro. installed the OS can address up to192GB of memory if the system supports it. Other Compaq and HP Notebooks can deal with 8GB of memory installed. That’s why I would think HP’s could easily fix this with a patch or use one of their other BIOS’s.
The difference between 4GB and 6GB is that with 6GB system runs faster and the display quality has improved. I have set the cache size to large and the executive paging is set to off in the registry. The menu(System Properties - Performance Options – Advanced – Virtual Memory) is set to automatically manage the paging file size.

You should keep it in the original; thread you started.

Does anyone know yet if the new iPad will support a USB microphone plugged into Garageband via iPad's USB Camera Adapter?

Hi,
I've ordered a new iPad 64Gb which will arrive early April. My hobby is making music, so does anyone know yet if the new iPad (3rd generation) will support a USB microphone plugged into Garageband via iPad's USB Camera Adapter? I am hoping to use such a portable setup to record live performances of voice & acoustic instrument.
Thank you,
John.

When in doubt, try it out. I bought the Apple camera connection kit & used it to connect my Blue Snowball usb mic to my new iPad 3rd generation. It works just fine. I made some test recordings in GarageBand on my iPad 3 using my Snowball mic. They sound great.

Late 2012 iMac 3TB does not support Boot Camp Assistant

Got my new customized iMac 27' yeasterday. After installing some soft, I decided to install Windows 7 as second OS on Boot Camp. After clicking the Boot Camp Assistant icon, programm opens, and immediately it shows error "Boot Camp Assistaint does not support Windows installation on this iMac 3TB" or something like that (I have a russian version of dashboard/OS). Only option available at that moment - button "OK", which exits Boot Camp A|ssistant.
So... Any suggestions on how to solve the problem? I really need Windows as second OS, and don't want to install it like a virtual/emulator machine.
My customized iMac "loadout" is Core i7 3.4, 16Gb DDR, Nvidia GeForce 680MX 2Gb, 3TB Hard Drive.
P.S. I thought this may be solved by separating Hard Drive into partitions (main, which is for Mac OS, and little tome for Windows, formated into MS DOS FAT system), still - this has not helped me.

There is a thread covering this subject here. I would advise you to read the whole thread before trying the 'solution'.
