Windows 7 Install failed - Boot camp partition to NTFS during formatting worked but when i clicked onto the 'next' button, it won't allow me to proceed any further. Help!

Hi there,
I used the following manual (http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1583/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_ 10.7.pdf) in attempt to install windows 7 onto my mac but I get an error at Step 3 - windows installation process
I selected the BOOTCAMP partitioned drive as mentioned, clicked the advance options, and then reformatted that drive. What happens next is the drive changes name from BOOTCAMP to 'untitled'. I then tried to click 'next' button but it won't let me proceed any further and didn't state clearly why it couldn't go through (instead says to check the log file for reason why - but then I have not clue where this log file is located in as well!).
I had a look at that partitioned drive after to find that it is NTFS format (when I went back to OS x) so it appears that I am doing the right thing so that shouldn't be the issue..
Does anyone know what could be wrong? or what I should try to do next?
Could it be a format error because when i click onto the 'untitled' drive, there is nothing in there.

Hi Steve1904,
So you have use the backup and Restore to restore your files from Windows XP to Windows 7 directly?
This should be considered not work.
If you would like to transfer files between Windows XP and Windows 7, you need another tool called Windows Easy Transfer.
See the article below if you would like to upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7:
Upgrading from Windows XP to Windows 7
If possible, follow the steps there, then things should be OK.

I am trying to download/install Creative Cloud on Windows7 but when I click on the "Run" button nothing happens

The Creative Cloud appears as if it is downloading/downloaded, so I go to click on "Run" and my mouse and website window border flashes for a few seconds and then stops with no signs of installing the Creative Cloud.
Can you give me some indication as to why this is happening?
Thank you in advance!

Please refer to :

Hope it helps you.

Itunes won't open on my computer. I uninstalled it, turned off the computer, rebooted, and re-installed but when I click onto the "itunes" icon nothing happens. When I plug in my iphone or ipod nothing happens as well?? HELP PLEASE.

Itunes will not open. I click onto the icon and it does nothing. I've uninstalled it twice and still nothing. Rebooted and nothing. I plug my iphone as well as my ipod and still nothing happens. Help please.

I, too, am having a serious problem with my iTunes.
It shows that iTunes is taking up usage on my computer but there is no error message when I try to open it. Nothing even happens. iTunes does not come up and I am searching for a possible answer.
We recently had a power outage but we got power back Sunday and when we did iTunes stopped working. Before this incident iTunes usually worked and when it didn't a simple re-start was used to fix it. However now I have tried that several times and it is not working.
Help?

I have installed Firefox but when I click on the icon, nothing happens.

I have just downloaded and installed firefox, but when I click on the icon nothing happens.

In case you haven't solved this by now...
Sometimes your security software will block new programs from accessing the internet. Are you getting any alerts along those lines?
Sometimes Firefox will stall during startup and never display its window. In that case, you may need to manually "kill" the firefox.exe process using the Windows Task Manager before trying to start Firefox again.
You can display the Task Manager by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Esc. Windows 8.1 has a different display than Windows 7, so I have to go by memory. If you see a tab named Applications, check that one first. Then check Processes, and finally check Details. If you find Firefox or firefox.exe on any of those tabs, select it and End Process (or other action to shut it down).
After you are done with the Task Manager, try starting Firefox up again.

I suspect if you're trying to open a file in 08 that's been opened in 09 the file has been updated to 09 and will not open in 08.

I have Windows 7 and just recently experienced a problem with itunes freezing up when I clicked on the "apps" tab. Everything else seems to work okay in itunes. I have uninstalled it and reloaded it 4 or 5 times, but still freezes up.

I have Windows 7 and just recently experienced a problem with itunes freezing up when I clicked on the "apps" tab which shows the apps that are loaded on my phone. Everything else in the itunes software seems to be working okay. The problem is in the part where you sync the newly purchased apps. The apps will all be blank that are downloaded and that part of the software crashes itunes or freezes up. I can get out of itunes okay after the freeze up, but it just stops me from syncing anything that I have newly added. If anyone has had this problem before or knows someone that has, please let me know how I can fix it. I have uninstalled and reloaded itunes 4 or 5 times, but the problem is still there. I might add that I have been using itunes and purchasing apps for 2 to 3 years without any problems. HELP.

You would get better response from the iTunes community forum.
Have a nice day!

When I click onto the firefox webbrowser, I get the message "firefox has stopped working, windows will close the application to find a solution to the problem " This has been going on for several days, I've had to go back IE to access web pages

When I click onto the firefox webbrowser, I get the message "firefox has stopped working, windows will close the application to find a solution to the problem."

I had this exact same problem. I found this fix and it worked for me.
Step 1:
Browse to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support and copy the filen named QTMovieWin.dll.
Step 2:
Browse and past that file into C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes.
Hope this helps you. I wish I could remember where I saw this originally so I could thank them.
Good Luck.

Moving tabs from one window to another makes the new window vanish. I have hot corners enabled so when I move up to the right corner of my display I can see all my open windows but when I click on the tab that I moved to make it its own window it vanishes

I came up with an alternative solution.
Instead of actually trying to move the JInternalFrame from one JDesktopPane to another, I added a single, maximized JInternalFrame to the left side. When one of the right side frames is to be docked, I merely copy its ContentPane to the single JInternalFrame on the left, set the original to be non-visible, and adjust the properties of the JSplitPane to make the "docked" frame appear.
When the "close" button on the docked frame is pressed, I simply undo this procedure to "undock" the frame and redisplay it on the right-hand side (with its content intact from the docked frame, but in its original position).

I'm using windows 7, trying to download pictures from my canon 5d mark 2, but when I click import, the camera does not appear. I've tried changing USB ports, switching the camera on and off, trying a different USB cord, tried a different camera, but nothing. Please help! This problem only started a few days ago on lightroom 3.6, upgraded to 5.5, but still not working. Thanks.

Can you see the Canon EOS camera and image files using Windows Explorer? If not disconnect the camera, close all applications' shutdown Windows, and TURN OFF the power to your system and ALL connected devices. Disconnect all phones, iPads, and any other USB devices and restart your system.
Retry Windows Explorer and see if your camera is showing. If so try LR import again.

Probably is
You need a minimum of 10GB of free space for normal operations
You need to address that first - the best soution may be to get an external drive formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) and drag your iPhoto library to it - depress the option key and launch iPhoto and point to that library
Hopefully that will let you get started - there may be additional repairs needed

BSOD every 20 minutes running windows XP in boot camp partition

Has anyone else had this problem? Everything was running fine for a couple of months on my new mac OS X until around the time I installed the recommended updater to Boot Camp 2.1, then Windows XP started crashing every 20 minutes exactly, BCCode : 1000007f. One line of discussion suggests it's a boot camp problem but uninstalling the update hasn't helped. Others seemed to think it might be a graphics card incompatibility. I've now been advised that it's a Norton 2008 problem and I should uninstall that although I haven't tried yet. But the every 20 minutes must be some clue to what's going on. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks Axel. I removed Norton 2008 with the uninstall tool and hey presto no more BSODs so far (24 hours). I've also replaced Norton with Kaspersky. I guess this is really a Norton/Boot Camp compatibility problem but it's weird that Norton ran without problems on my system for five months until I installed the Boot Camp 2.1 updater. Having said that, I now see that there are a couple of discussions on this in the Boot Camp > Installation and Storage topic list ...
In one of these, Mark Davidson3 resolved the problem by completely uninstalling/reinstalling his Boot Camp partition and is now running Norton again with no problem but I wonder if that's because he must have uninstalled/reinstalled Norton in the process. Like me, the crashes had started for him only after he installed the Boot Camp 2.1 updater. Presumably Norton would run again on my system now too if I reinstalled it.
Has anyone out there talked to the Norton/Boot Camp people about this?

Activate Windows 7 in Boot Camp partition on iMac 27

Hy,
I have a problem with Windows activation.
My configuration:
iMac 27.4 GB Memory, dual processor, OS X Snow leopard, Windows 7 in a Boot Camp partition
I use Windows 7 in 2 ways:
by starting the machine in the Boot Camp partition (with 4 GB memory)
by opening a session VMWARE Fusion under Mac OS X (with 1 GB memory)
No problem (except: very slow with starting and black screen - problem discussed in the same forum)
My problem: how to activate Windows?
I activated Windows after starting via Boot Camp: no problem
But when I use Windows via VMWARE Fusion, I receive a message “you must activate this version of Windows 7 - there remain xx days” I understand that the hardware configuration is not the same one, but I use Windows 7 out of only one machine (but with 2 different hardware configuration), therefore nothing illegal.
How can I solve this problem?
Has somebody the same problem ?
Thank you in advance.

Did this actually work? My understanding is that Windows 7 regards this as two separate installations and that it won't work?
I'm trying to find out if I have to chose between bootcamp or Fusion or if I can work with both.
You need to activate Windows 7 in BootCamp and in Fusion. Microsoft allows multiple free activations. If these are the only two activations for your copy of Windows, just follow the online activation process. It is quick and simple. If this process fails for some reason, call the automatic activation line. You'll be stepped through the activation by an automated attendant (robot). In the very unlikely event that the automated call activation fails, call and talk to a Microsoft activation person who will help you out.
