Will my Bootcamp Windows Install Remain after SSD Install

I currently have a i5 Mac Mini 5.1 with the standard 500gb hard drive installed. Presently the drive is split as 340gb for OSX and 160gb for Windows 8.1 running under Bootcamp. My plan is to install a 250gb SSD in addition to the original 500gb HDD onto which I will clone over my current OSX install, then format the 340gb partition onto which I will then move over my home folder and files whilst keeping the SSD for OSX and applications for optimum performance. My plan is to leave the Bootcamp partition as it is.
My question is will the 160gb Windows 8.1 Bootcamp partition still work or will I have to wipe that partition and start again by re-bootcamping my mac?
Any help and advice is greatly appreciated.
John

Hi Bobthefisherman
Thanks for the reply. That's a real pain having to have them on the same drive as I was hoping to keep the SSD purely for OSX and its applications.
Thanks
John

Doesn't matter what is in your library.
When I moved computers I literally dragged and dropped the music where I wanted it to be. THen when I opened iTunes I imported the files back into iTUnes
This creates a new library with all the same items but you lose a lot of info: Ratings, comments, date added, custom EQ, playlists, etc.
If you simply copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder, it is the exact same library, not a new library. No info is lost.

Why can't I install apps after I installed IOS 5? The app sits there waiting..

This too started to happen to me when I upgraded iOS 5 and moved to iCloud.
I have since purchased 3 apps and got the waiting que and nothing.
I noticed though that with my Mac on, I went to IPad settings/general/iTunes sync and sync now, suddenly the three apps started o download and install. Why it's doing this I'm not sure until I dig a bit deeper.

Lost bootcamp windows disk partition after mountain lion installation

Greetings all!
So I've had Bootcamp (windows 7 and snow leopard, 125gb of hard drive storage on each) on this MacBook Pro (late 2010) for over 2 years and I decided to upgrade to mountain lion.
As we all know that we can partition the disk under windows into smaller volumes, often labeled as C:, D:, E:, etc. my friend divided the hard drive storage for Windows into C: and G: when I first had windows 7 on my MacBook Pro 2 years ago.
The problem emerged after I installed mountain lion couple days ago. I'm still able to choose the system I want it to run after i press and hold "option" key and it will log on windows without any problem. My windows desktop looks the same as what it was before installing. HOWEVER, my partition G: totally disappeared! Partition C: remains the same. I'm pretty sure that G: is still somewhere in the hard drive because the system tells me that out of 125GB of storage for windows, 50GB is used, which is the size of C:, and available is only 10GB! So the difference of about 60GB must have been taken by the lost partition G:. I tried searching specific files that I have in G: under windows but it returned me no results. So I'm thinking it might be virtual somewhere. The files in G: are very important to me, so I'm looking for help/suggestions here to restore that partition by all means.
Thank you very much for taking the time reading my post and I'm really looking forward to your reply!

Ok, I just found a way out this nightmare. The problem is that for a unknown reason, the password has to be entered as if it had been originally entered on a US keyboard layout (QWERTY)... So I had to find which keys I would have stroke if I had entered my password on a US keyboard thinking it was a FR one (AZERTY).

Mac Pro Missing Serial Number after SSD install

After installing a new SSD in an unused bay in my Mac Pro (OS 10.8.4) and setting it as my start-up disk with only System, Apps, Library and Users Folders on it, I have had a remarkable improvement in performance - things simply snap open now & I have not seen a spinning beachball/cogwheel until....
Messages will not work now - on opening, the program asks me to enter my Apple ID & Password but will not accept the entries (which I have double-checked & confirmed on my Mac Book Pro, iPad & iPhone) - I get a prolonged spinning cogwheel & then a message that it could not connect and I should check my Network Connections - I did & they are all working fine for other programs.
On line sources indicate that the iMessage Registration process involves the Mac's Serial number.
This no longer appears under the About This Mac Menu item when I click on the Version 10.8.4 line (the Build Number does appear).
This 4 year old Mac Pro has never had the Logic Board replaced.
And iMessages worked great prior to the SSD install.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

you cloned the system? used Migration or Setup Assistant?
I doubt it has anything to do with the SSD.
But you might include what you did, what make of SSD even, and some brands (but not Samsung) would need firmware update.
You also need to use TRIM Enabler on any and all SSDs (unless you paid dearly and bought an Apple device).
Before you clone, install TRIM Enabler!
And after you clone, run Disk Utility's REPAIR DISK on the SSD -- just to be on the safest side.

SSD Maintenance
try creating a new user account. I doubt it is the SSD, or you, though it could be your OS install or just the common issues with iMessages. Is there not a forum for it? I'd think there would be.

Bootcamp Windows 7 Disappeared after partition resize

Hello guys,
I have a Mid 2013 Macbook Pro 15 and just recently I installed windows 7 using Bootcamp. After a few days I decided to resize my Windows partition.
So, I used Disk Utility to shrink my OSX partition. Then I restarted my laptop in Windows 7 and used a third-party software to add the available space that I just created to my Windows partition. After finishing the operation and restarting my computer in Windows everything was fine. (The disk has been resized and no files were missing whatsoever). Few hours later I wanted to use my OSX, so I restarted my laptop in OSX again and BOOM. Bootcamp disappeared. When I was opening "Startup Disk" nothing was there, like it has been completely removed.
I've done a little research but I couldn't get any results with terminal commands and stuff like that.
So what I did is this,
I restarted my computed holding the options "alt" key and got into the Startup Manager.
There were 3 Drives
1. Macintosh HD
2. Recovery 10.8
3. Windows
I clicked windows and successfully managed to get into my Windows 7. No files were missing everything was working perfectly.
After restarting to OSX again still everything was missing!
So the problem seems to be that Windows are still there and working properly but BOOTCAMP and Windows have disappeared and going in Startup Manager is the only way to access them.
I hope I helped someone with the same problem.
Any ideas or solutions are welcome.

Satellite U500 - Windows 7 64bit (after clean install, wireless issues...)

Good night,
I've just installed windows 7 Professional x64. Now I'm experiencing some wireless issues such as constant breaks on the wireless connection (every 5 minutes more or less). I've tried to install the lastest drivers for the wireless LAN adapter, without success.
By the way, I have a Toshiba Satellite U500.
Any help? :)

It's a U500/00k? Model PSU9MA-00K013.
I havent actualy managed to access windows at all. The install problem has come up "out of the box" so checking any settings is impossible.
It just keeps looping back to the same error message. The only software I have is what came on the hard drive, and an XP istall disc that came with the package. According to the manual, if i use the XP disk it will wipe XP completely.
So frustrated right now.

How to fix blackscreen Bootcamp after SSD install

Hello
I have an iMac mid 2011 21,5". I decided to boost it a little and that's when my issues started. Got no big problem to remove the optical drive, replace it with an SSD & add few gigs of RAM, but when I started to install windows 8.1 pro with bootcamp on the SSD, and keep the old HDD with MAC OSX I faced big issues.... (basically black screen with underscore blinking top left)
I read here, especially from Loner T, that it was expected, as Bootcamp was installing something in the NVram to tell the iMac to read the CD in SATA rather than in USB. I tried an EFI installation, but that was a bad idea, some devices were missing (sound card, classical) and there was some BSOD that made no sense
So I read that one option would be to modify the plist file, and add the USB boot, and try to install Windows that way, but rather than doing that option that I found a bit unreasonable (I guess that if USB boot is disabled for bootcamp for mid2011, there's a reason...?) ; I launched Bootcamp from Mac OSx, downloaded the utils/drivers on the USB key, selected the SSD as target harddrive and when the iMac rebooted I shut it down, replaced back the optidrive instead of the SSD, and put the SSD instead of the old HDD. Fans were running loud/full speed as expected as the old HDD was not here with its thermal sensor, but at least, when I restarted, Windows 8.1 pro installation started, and went till completion without an issue.
I stopped everything, removed again the optidrive, and then but back the old hdd (for Fan issue + space matter) and put back the SSD at Optidrive space.
and then rebooted... and faced something unexpected.
At boot, I have again the blackscreen with underscore blinking...
If I press ALT at boot, I can choose Mac OSX that boots well and properly. But if I select my SSD with Windows detected, I have the black screen.
I wonder if everything is lost, or if it's just something to repair in the boot sequence...
I have to admit that this is way above my skills
if someone can help me, I made some sudo commands in yosemite, to share here and eventually find a solution...

My iPhone will not automatically backup to iCloud after iOS7 install

My iPhone 5 will not automatically backup to icloud anymore now that iOS7 has been installed. Steps I have tried so far...
Installed iOS7 through Software Update - relazed three days later that the phone was not backing up
Did a manual backup
Erased the entire phone
Restored from iCloud backup
Then reset all phone settings
Signed out of iCloud, deleted all data and then signed back in
Is anyone else having this issue after updating to iOS7?

my dear friend i have like your problem before and when i see alot of solution i find the one it work with me and
come autmatic again
take the solution:
Note that a manual backup also factors into the automatic backup schedule, meaning the next automatic backup will not occur until 48 hours later.
Actually the iCloud backup process sounds a bit more complicated than it actually is in practical use. You can’t schedule iCloud backups manually, but you don’t need to do so as iOS takes care of this for you, and it’s designed to be pretty transparent.
Once enabled, iCloud backups will run automatically whenever the following conditions are met:
Your device is powered on,
Your device is connected to the Internet via Wi-Fi,
Your device is connected to a power source,
Your device has the screen locked (i.e. turned off), and
It has been at least 24 hours since the last successful backup occurred.
In other words, your device may not be backed up to iCloud at the same time every day, but once 24 hours has elapsed the iPhone will make a backup as soon as it is plugged in and on Wi-Fi with the screen off. For example, if your iPhone backs up to iCloud at 10:00 pm tonight, but you don’t plug it in while on a Wi-Fi connection until midnight tomorrow night, the next backup will occur at midnight—basically as soon as you plug it in—and future backups will continue to run at midnight on subsequent days as long as the iPhone is plugged in, connected to Wi-Fi, and has the screen off at that time. If you’re working an irregular schedule and coming home at different hours, this may gradually push the backups to later at night, but the backup won’t be skipped if you miss the time window—it will still occur as soon as possible once all of the other conditions are met.
This does of course mean that sometimes backups can get pushed to the point where they may be delayed until the next night; come home at 10 a.m. on a Sunday morning and plug in your iPhone and that’s when your next backup will occur, but if you leave for work on Monday morning at 9:00 am and your phone isn’t plugged in and on Wi-Fi while at work, you won’t get another automatic backup until you get home and plug it in later that night.
You can check the time of the last successful iCloud backup by going into the Settings app on your iPhone and choosing Storage & Backup from the iCloud section.
You can also tap the “Back Up Now” button from this screen to create a manual iCloud backup at any time. To create a manual iCloud backup, your iPhone only needs to be on Wi-Fi, it does not need to be plugged in or have the screen off.
Note that a manual backup also factors into the automatic backup schedule, meaning the next automatic backup will not occur until 48 hours later.
This can be one method for adjusting to a specific backup time if you really feel the need to, but it’s largely unnecessary as iOS should naturally settle into a standard backup routine as long as your iPhone is regularly plugged in and on Wi-Fi for at least a few hours each day, such as while you’re sleeping.
As one last note, it’s also worth keeping in mind that the iPhone only needs to be connected to power with the screen off to start an iCloud backup; once the automatic backup has started, it will continue as long as the iPhone remains on a Wi-Fi connection, even if you unplug the iPhone or begin using it.

All previously installed applications remain after "fresh" install of OS X 10.8.4

Hey guys,
So this may or may not be a problem. The issue is that I was having some system screen flickering/freezing on my Macbook Pro (Early 2011) so I decided to reinstall 10.8.4 Mountain Lion to see if this would solve the issue. Went through the procedure of creating a reinstall flash drive and proceeded. Chose the drive containing my old OS (10.8.4) and installed. Process took about 1:30 hours to download and install necessary files. When the OS install is complete and the machine boots back up nothing has changed. All previously installed applications remained and the machine home folder is still named for the previous owner? (bought on ebay) Does Apple auto reset all previous settings through my AppleID? Or did this OS re-install not complete correctly? I need to FULLY wipe this machine and after going through the process I am not even sure if anything took place. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
-Andrew

I am reading an article suggesting that I can use boot utility to format all drives if I boot into the recovery partition. From there I can reinstall using the internet recovery. Is this a wise move to avoid buying Snow Leopard?
The Early 2011 Mac originally came with 10.6
10.7 and 10.8 are paid upgrades tied to the previous owners AppleID, therefore you can't apply security updates to that previous owners copy as you don't have their AppleID and password.
The object to go back to Snow Leopard 10.6 is so that when you upgrade to 10.8, it's yours and you can upgrade all your paid software and operating system through the AppStore concept.
Later, if you need to erase and install 10.8 fresh, then yes, you use Internet Recovery or RecoveryHD as then your AppleID and password will work as intended and there is no need to use the 10.6 disks any longer, they can be sold if you wish as you don't have 10.6 on the machine anymore.

Windows running programs after CS4 install ?

Hope this is the right place for this....I've noticed there are 6-8 new programs running in task manager on windows startup after installing CS4 webdesign premium ? Are all these necessary...or can I delete them from starting on windows startup...?...for instance one of these is Adobe Version Cue CS4 ?
If I disable these new startups...will it negatively affect CS 4 program operations...or will the simply start upon the individual apps launch ?
Running XP Pro sp3 and all CS4suite apps up to date
Thanks, TR

If I don't need it I don't want it ? What is Version Cue and what does acrotray do ?
Other startup programs that are now running:
Acrobat Assistant 8.0     - acrotray.exe
Adobe Acrobat Speed Launcher   - acrobate_sl.exe
Adobe_ID0ENQBO     -   versioncuecs4tray.exe
Adobe.Acrobat.ContextMenu   - contextmenu.dll
Adobe Drive CS4   = adfsmenu.dll
Adobe LM Service -   adobelmsvc.exe
Adobe Version Cue CS4   = versioncuecs.exe
I think that's it. Will CS4 run ok with these disabled or not loading at system startup ?
Thanks

IBook doesn't wake up after SSD install

Hello, i've recently installed a 64Gb kingspec PATA SSD to my iBook G4 1.2Ghz. All it's running well, Leopard detected the drive, installed without problems and the system is more fast and responsive. I only have a problem when waking up from sleep. The screen turns on, i can move the mouse and also the dock can be accesed but in few seconds the computer freezes and i have to hard power down. I can't launch any application and the logs show nothing.After reboot all goes fine.
I've tried the following, without luck:
* S.O reinstall
* Tryin different hibernate modes using pmset, including disksleep=0.
* I've disable "sleep the disk when possible"
For any unknow reason the system can't write on the disk when waking up.
Any help?

If your Mac happily goes to sleep but won't wake up--Hold down the power switch to force-reboot your machine and get it running again.
Don't worry-your Mac isn't narcoleptic. Its Open Firmware system or NVRAM (nonvolatile RAM) is likely corrupt, and your Mac can't remember how to wake up.
Restart your Mac and immediately hold down the Command-Option-O-F key combo until you see a somewhat intimidating command-line display that ends with the Open Fimware prompt. Type the following lines:
reset-nvram
press Return on keyboard
set-defaults
press Return
reset-all
press Return
Your Mac will reboot. Once it's running, put it back to sleep to test. If the problem recurs your Energy Saver preferences may be the culprit. Delete the com.apple.PowerManagement.plist file (go to Finder/Hard drive/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration)--don't worry, your Mac will regenerate a new one--and then restart to see if that rights the wrong.
Still did'nt work? Might be time to call AppleCare or see an Apple Genius or a technician.
Cheers!

MBP 5,3 75°C hot at 0% CPU load after SSD install

Hello, i decided to post my problem here because i have not found any help on other forums.
Two weeks ago i installed a Samsung 830 SSD with 256 GB using the Optibay SSD Kit from Hardwrk (http://hardwrk.com/en/ssd-hdd-adapter-kit-for-macbook-pro.html). The SSD sits where the HDD was beforce and the old 500 GB HDD sits in the Adapter from the Kit where the optical drive was.
After installing the hardware, everything worked fine; i (partially) cloned the HDD to the SSD and booted from it. Only the biggest User folders are left on the HDD. A couple of days later i noticed that the CPU temperature was between 75°C and 80°C in idle, with no processes causing CPU load. The fans are working and spinning with about 3000 rpm. I increased the fan speed to maximum with iStat Menus and the temperature lowered to about 58°C which was normal before installing the SSD. After about 10 minutes of maximum fan speed i set the fans back to normal and the temperature increased to 78°C again.
I tried a safe boot and there are no such problems, the CPU temperature is at 58°C in idle. So i booted in normal mode again and the temperature stayed at 58°C in idle. I shut down the MacBook and turned it on again in normal mode. The temperature increased to 80°C and stayed. I don't understand that behaviour.
The HDD is far away from the CPU so it doesn't affect heating, the SSD is more cold than hot. I don't know where this problem comes from. Has anybody noticed a similar behaviour after installing a SSD? If you need additional information i will provide these.

Hello and thank you for participating in this discussion,
as i am the starter of this thread, i want to tell you the story how i fixed this problem.
as you know the MacBook from Mid 2009 has TWO internal SATA ports, one for the optical drive and the other for storage devices such as HDD and SSD. Prior posting my problem here, i used this two ports as follows:
SATA connector 1 (where by default the optical drive is attached to):
here i placed the adapter cage from hardwrk (Link) and IN there i placed the old HDD, which was attached to SATA 2 before setting the MacBook up for SSD
SATA connector 2 (where by default the HDD is attached to; below the optical drive):
here i placed the new SSD
With this setup i did experience the problems with higher working temperature of the MacBook. After testing on software level, turning TRIM on or off had no effect to the high temperature, i decided to open up the MacBook another time. i checked all the wires and connectors, everything okay. Back turned on, same problem.
Then i decided to switch the devices. Means, SSD in adapter cage, HDD on the old place. Voila! Temperature problems are gone. Maybe you try this.
Hope it helps. Let me know!

Install iTunes After Re-Installing Windows 7

I am going to be reinstalling Win7 from scratch. I will wipe everything out and reinstall. What do I have to backup or make copies of, so that I can keep all my iTunes stuff?
I've looked to see where my Media folder location is. I have music and audio books as my primary media assets. When I look in this folder I see some music and some audio books, but not all. I can understand the music since I had a bunch of ripped CDs that I added to the library and did not have them copied in. I thought my audible books were all under control of audible, but I see some of them in the iTunes media folder, but not all.
I've noticed that when I download an audible book using audible software, it is automatically added to the itunes library.
I am trying to figure out what filies/folders I should backup to minimize the work of returning my iTunes to what it looks like now.
BTW, I am doing ther reinstall of Windows 7 because I'm running 32bit and want 64bit. I'm not sure if the Win install would just allow me to "upgrade" but I figure tthis is a good opportunity to clean out a lot of crap.
BTW, I currently have 3 devices that sync wiht iTunes: 2 iPhones and one iPod.

I just noticed I have on another drive the following directories:
E:\iTunes\Music\Audiobooks
E:\iTunes\Music\Music
These libraries contain the missing audiobooks and music, or at least appear to. I haven't crosschecked to see that everything is there. I wonder why I have this data there? I don't see a place in iTunes to configure it to look there.

Will my Bootcamp Windows Install Remain after SSD Install
