Windows 7 64-bit on older machine not listed

Anyone succeeded to install Windows 7 (Professional) 64-Bit with Bootcamp on a Mac not in the list bellow?
That is, older than those:
These Macs can use 64-bit editions of Windows Vista and Windows 7:
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2009) and later
MacBook Pro (15-inch, Early 2008) and later
MacBook Pro (17-inch, Early 2008) and later
Mac Pro (Early 2008) and later
iMac (21.5 inch, Late 2009)
iMac (27-inch, Late 2009)
iMac (27-inch, Quad Core, Late 2009)
MacBook (13-inch, Late 2009) and later
Mac mini (Mid 2010)
I have a iMac 2.4 GHz early 2008 (http://support.apple.com/kb/SP485), so not that old...
The processor supports 64-Bit :

Boot Camp: System requirements for Microsoft Windows

With some computers you can use an authentic, 64-bit Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium, Professional, or Ultimate disc

Thanks,

Here are my results after further digging online and from my own experience.
Here is the procedure:
1. Check whether your Mac has the 32-bit EFI or 64-bit EFI
http://www.ihackintosh.com/2009/08/snow-leopard-106-and-64-bit-what-you-need-to- know/
2. Create a Boot Camp (BC) partition for Windows 7 x64. Resize the partition size using the slider in the BC app. Follow the instruction, insert the Windows 7 disk and reboot.
3. This will load the PC partition which is FAT formatted for now. Choose the Boot Camp partition on which to install Win 7, but choose in the option to format that partition. It will automatically format it in NTFS. Otherwise, it will not install on that partition.
Note : A "OEM System Builder" Windows 7 64-bit Professional UPGRADE install without any issues what so ever. The upgrade disk is a full install. Read this for further information:
http://www.pcworld.com/article/174288/windows7_upgrade_madecheaper.html
4. Run windows, then insert the Snow Leopard disk. It will tell you your hardware cannot support x64 version. Do the following procedure to manually install the driver:

5. Then update Boot camp using Apple Software Update in Windows.
6. All hardware works fine except the sound. The sound only comes out of the internal speaker, even when headphone or speakers are plugged in the jack. Installing the Realtek High Definition Audio Codecs driver in order to fixe the problem. Shutdown and reboot to make it applicable. Try a second time if it still does not work:

Windows 7, 64 bits, iTunes 10.7, not run

windows 7, 64 bits, iTunes 10.7, not run
I upgrade iTunes to 10.7 and since then, iTunes not run
I try several times, unistall and install
I downgrade to iTunes 10.6 but still not running

Many thanks.
Can you check something for me please?
Restart your PC. after the PC restarts, bring up your Task manager, and go to the "Processes" tab. Click "Image name" to sort the processes alphabetically.
Now try to launch iTunes.
Does an itunes.exe process appear? If so, does it vanish after a second or so, or does it persist in the Processes tab (even though iTunes itself never shows up)?

Windows Vista 64 bit w/older 2 dual core 3.0ghz Mac Pro with NVIDIA 7300

I have read a variety of the posts that have appeared here on the use of Windows Vista 64 bits on a Mac Pro. I remain confused, and but want to do this. I have a Mac Pro purchased in the Spring of '07 with dual 3.0Ghz dual core Xeon cpus and 10gb of ram, using the NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT and running 10.5.1, with multiple drives. I want to run the 64 bit version of Vista Ultimate to use my ram, and to gain the performance this box should offer. It appears that I have three options:
1. Boot Camp: I don't know if the drivers are available, seems like the new Mac Pro drivers probably would not work, even if I could find them, since I have an older Mac Pro with a pair of the dual core Xeon CPUs. Don't know if there is an alternate source than Apple for the drivers, or a way to get around the problem in boot camp.
2. Parallels: I do not believe that 64 bit apps are supported by Parallels
3. Fusion: Their web site says they support Win Vista 64 bit, but it is not clear to me on the web site where the drivers are obtained, or perhaps they are built in to Fusion. Will I get the performance and memory benefits in fusion? Or is the OSX virtual overhead so high that this is a fools errand?
I do a lot of video editing, and fully 95% of my life is in the Mac world, but I have individuals who send files for editing, and occasionally they require Windows tools, much to my chagrin. I also have a small number of programs that need Windows 64. I occasionally am required to do some development work, and would like to use this machine for that purpose if it can indeed run Win Vista 64bit. I have XP loaded on a more modest box andit is running fine when I need it, which isn't very often.
Any help, or successful experience in running Windows Ultimate 64 bit on this hardware, utilizing its resources would be greatly appreciated.

Warning: Don't install Windows 7 64-bit on Older MacBook Pros

I totally hosed my machine by installing Windows 7 64 bit on a MacBook Pro that Apple has not deemed to be okay with running Snow Leopard in 64-bit. I have a Core 2 Due, which is fully 64-bit. Windows 7 64-bit runs perfectly on a MacBook Pro, but Apple's Snow Leopard can only handle 32-bits. Crazy.
I'm guessing Windows 7 updated the MacBook Pro's EFI to 64 bit, which since my Firmware hasn't been updated, can't recognize or load. Some I'm stuck.
Does anyone know how to return a 64 bit efi back to its original 32 bit version? I've been forced to reinstall Snow Leopard, hopefully the Disk Image I created will be able to bring back my data, otherwise I'm screwed and really ******.

I don't think Windows 7 would normally modify your Guid Partition Table, but Boot Camp
(particularly the later versions) is rapidly gaining a nasty reputation for hosing partition maps.
Test Disk might could help:
http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk
You will need to boot it in firewire mode (if supported) or from an external clone.
I hope your disk image is good. Rule of thumb for OS Disk Images:
Make them sparseimage or sparsebundle, do not compress, and last but not least;
Make 2 of them. Just some friendly advice.
I have yet to see anyone repair a defective, compressed, UDIF disk image. I have
successfully repaired sparse UDSP/UDSB images using either disk utility and/or Disk Warrior
and/or iPartition or some combination of the three.
I'm not against disk images, to the contrary, I use them almost exclusively for backup lately.
I mount them, then place a clone or data on them using Carbon Copy Cloner or Chronosync.
Of course I only use UDSP/UDSB uncompressed images.

Windows 7 64 bit service pack 2 not sync with Itouch4g

Windows 7 64 bit with new update of service pack 2 will not recognize ITouch4g 64 when connected or in Itunes 10.1.2 will not see the Itouch 4g 64 attached.
Is there a new fix from apple and when will they send it out??

There is no Service Pack 2 for Windows 7; they just released Service Pack 1. Is that what you meant?

Oracle 11g R2 Install on Windows 7 64 bit setup.exe does not work.

Hi
I am trying to install Oracle 11g R2 on my Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. When I execute setup.exe as Administrator the command window flashes and exits. I could not even see what the message is. Also tried command prompt. Can anyone help me resolve this issue?
Appreciate your support.

Finally the install is successful.Congratulations.
And thank you for posting your solution. The security issue was quite a surprise to me as well, although it ties into a PC World article I read today.
To continue, please make sure you have a static IP address. If your system uses DHCP, that may mean setting up Loopback Adapter, configuring a static IP address other than 127.0.0.1 for that (for example you can use 192.168.123.101), and updating C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts. (note - no 3 char 'type on the hosts file) to include an entry like '192.168.123.101 myhost.example.com myhost', and perhaps setting your ORACLE_HOSTNAME variable. This is all described well in the Install documentaiton at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e10843/reqs.htm#BABIAEEC

Connected Deskjet 6940 to computer with windows 7 64 bit, duplex print will not work?

I have a Deskjet 6940 model C8970A. The Duplex printer function does not work. It will manually ask me to turn around all the pages to print on the other side. Before it would print front then back of page at a time. I have Windows 7 64 bit on the new computer.

Hi,
The Duplex Unit is disabled by default, make sure to enable the accessory as following:
Enter Control Panel > Devices and Printers
Right click the HP Deskjet 6940 icon, then click Printer Properties.
Select the Device Settings tab.
Set the Duplex Unit as Installed, click OK.
Now set Print On Both Sides as Automatically from the Printing Preferences Dialog.
Please let me know if you may still experience any issue,
Shlomi

[ Windows 7 64-bit ] External speakers / headphones not working

Hi,
I just upgraded from a MacBook 13.3" (Late 2008) to the brand new MacBook Pro 13.3" (Mid 2010). Sound wasn't a problem in Windows 7 64-bit on the old MacBook, but the new MacBook has somehow messed up the line-out signal to my external speakers (and headphones).
I obviously already tested everything in OSX and didn't find a problem. The internal speakers also work fine in Windows 7 64-bit, but as soon as I connect external speakers (and headphones) in Windows 7 64-bit there's just silence. The speakers are powered, and the playback sound device information (and the volume bars) suggest that all sound devices are working normally, i.e. Speakers, Headphones and +Digital Audio (S/PDIF)+. The chipset is Cirrus Logic CS4206A (AB 13).
Has anyone else come across this issue, and if so, how did you solve the problem?

Hi,
After googling for two days, I finally found a workaround for my macbook pro 15'' (macbookpro5,3).
I had sound on Windows 7 64bits (with volume ok) and without the red light problem, but i couldn't hear anything from my tv with sound cable connected to headphones. My current version of bootcamp is 3.1 (with all drivers installed from it).
I tried all kind of things (drivers from vista64, xp, bootcamp 2.2, realtek, other versions of cirrus drivers, etc.) with no luck. THE SOLUTION FOR ME WAS TO INSTALL LATEST DRIVERS FROM NVIDIA (YES, graphics drivers) OVERRIDING THOSE FROM BOOTCAMP 3.1. After macbook restart, MY EXTERNAL SPEAKERS STARTED WORKING!!!
Hope this helps to anyone.

I tried Windows migration asisstant in my Vaio PC windows 7 64 bit. It does not work. I could conect and get the number in both computers but nothing after that...:(

I used an ethernet cable and my lAN (wireless) to transfer my data PC (Vaio windows 7 64 bit) to Mac. Once I got the two computers connected and the number in both computers it started to run....for 6 hours and nothing more happened. Do you have another idea how to transfer data (200 gigs) ? or any idea how is the "secret way" to do that in the Mac store? "

Ok.. I found how
First I turned off the wireless in both computers, then I turned off the firewall in the PC
after I plugged the Ethernet cable in both computers
I found the IP address of the PC in; start run CMD at the promt I wrote IPconfig enter
In the MAC I went to go connect to a server
I wrote the IP address in the server
In the user I wrote the admin user of the PC with its password
Yahooo!... conected and I copy the 200 gigs in 2,5 hours

Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 - Safe mode not listed in Advanced boot options

HI all,
After a bad driver installation, the server got the blue screen issue.
I tried to access the safe mode and make a restore, but unfortunately the safe mode is not listed in the advanced boot options.
The only options available pressing F8 at boot are :
Repair
Normal mode
Am I missing something ?
Is there a way to launch the safe mode from the console (accessible from repair mode) ?
Is there a way to restore from the console ?
Thanks for your help, for now I am really stucked...
Olivier Tisserand

Hi again
Problem solved, I document the solution for others :
open a console from repair mode
search the real system drive, instead of the X: default of the console
inn my case D:
cd Windows/system32
SystemHardwareProperties
Advanced options
start and recovery
tick the 'show os list' with 30 sec timer
close and reboot
when the system list appears, press F8 on wanted os
Then complete Advanced Boot Options menu appears, including safe mode
That saved my customer's server
Hope that helps...

HT201302 I have Windows 7, but Hardware and Sound is not listed in my Control Panel. So, how do I transfer videos from my ipad to my computer?

I am trying to transfer videos that I've recorded with my ipod camera to my computer. The option to auto play does not pop up when I plug in my ipod, so I looked up how to do this manually. Apple support websites told me to go to Control Panel and then Hardware and Sound, but Hardware and Sound is not listed in my control panel options. What other options do I have? I own a Dell laptop and I have Windows 7.

How can I get Firefox to load "Background" images in Windows 7(32 Bit)? They will not load in Windows 7 Professional but will load in XP Virtual console when I installed Firefox there. How do I get it to load properly in the normal Windows 7 window?

I have a Toshiba laptop Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU Q740 @1.73GHz 1.73 GHz , 4.00 GB RAM, 32-bit Operating system
I noticed the problem after installing Firefox 4.0.1, but by uninstalling and reinstalling found it was also a problem with the previous version.
There are no boxes displayed on this form, but on my XP desktop computer, they are displayed. I have both open so I know where to type.
I installed Firefox on the XP virtual console on this machine and it worked fine, but not using Windows 7.
None of the posted suggestions for similar questions on this forum worked.

Make sure that you allow pages to choose their colors and that you haven't enabled High Contrast in the Windows Accessibility settings.
