Windows 7 with bootcamp doesn't recognize my 64-bit

I have install Windows 7 32-bit on my iMac couple of months ago. Yesterday i tried to upgrade it to 64-bit( what i mean by upgrade is that i wiped all my windows partition from the iMac side and the started the installation), but when i was done doing all the bootcamp stuff and my computer booted with windows, it says i still run a 32-bit version of windows 7. I'm sure it was a 64-bit version and i have no clue what could be the problemm

Are you sure your Mac supports 64 bit?

If it does, I'll ask a moderator move this thread to the Boot Camp forum, where more people might know why it isn't working.

  • Bootcamp, Bootcamp doesn't recognize Windows 7 partition

    Answer this: do you have NTFS for OS X installed?
    That is the only time normally though not always that Windows won't show in
    System Preferences: Startup Disk: control panel
    > i have upgrade Bootcamp over Win7, i upgrade too Win7
    Boot Camp is only Apple drivers.
    So other than language, you are running Windows natively. Only.
    You don't upgrade Boot Camp. You probably do have Windows updates of course.

    You should read the Boot Camp Installation Guide.

    And you should visit the Boot Camp forum. You posted in the Snow Leopard forum. https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp

  • Display area is too small on windows with bootcamp

    My 1920x1080 display is shrunk (appears small with a black border around it) on windows with bootcamp, but looks fine on the mac side.
    I'm going from the macpro display port converted to hdmi and plugged into the hdmi plug on a dell P2413T monitor which has a resolution of 1920x1080.
    I'm using bootcamp with windows 7 home premium. Radeon 5870 card
    All my ati drivers are updated. I took the time to update them all.  The dell drivers are updated also.
    The monitor looks great on the mac side. On the pc side it is shrunk so there is a black border of 3/4 inch or so around the edges. It also looks odd.
    How do I resolve this. Is it a problem with the hdmi connector, the graphics card, bootcamp, windows?

    There are overscan/underscan settings in OSX for 1080p displays.
    OS X Yosemite: If the picture doesn’t fill the TV screen
    Learn about overscan and underscan - Apple Support
    Look in Display Advanced settings in Control Panel.
    Can you try a DVI connector?

  • Windows control panel doesn't recognize Adobe CC Products.

    한글(Korean) :
    1년 조금 넘게 어도비 CC 정품을 이용해오고 있습니다.
    아시다시피 어도비 CC는 어도비 제품들을 원하는대로 다운로드할 수 있잖아요,
    저도 많은 제품들을 다운로드해서 쓰고 있었는데 안쓰는 제품들이 몇개 생겨서 제거하려고 합니다.
    그런데 제어판에서는 어도비 CC 제품들(포토샵, 애프터이펙트, 오디션 등등)이 뜨질 않네요.
    제어판에서 이 제품들을 인식을 못하는거 같은데, 어도비에 전화해보니 C드라이브 들어가서
    폴더를 지우라고 하는데, 그냥 제어판이 인식하게 할 수는 없을까요?
    English :
    I have used Adobe CC products for almost a year.
    As you know, I can download any adobe products what I want through it.
    I was using a lot of Adobe products, but now, there are some products
    that I won't use anymore. So I'm going to delete them.
    But windows' control panel doesn't recognize Adobe CC products(like Photoshop, After Effects, Etc..).
    So I called to Adobe Korea customer center. They told me that I can go into C drive and delete folders of Adobe products.
    This is not the answer what I exactly want. I want to make the control panel can recognize Adobe CC products.
    What should I do?

    Creative Cloud help says to uninstall CC apps on a Windows PC to do the following:
    Open the Window Control Panel > Programs and Features
    Choose an app and click Uninstall/Change
    Follow on-screen instructions
    This information is NOT correct.  Programs and Features does not contain all versions of Adobe software installed via Creative Cloud Desktop.  It only shows the most current installation.  Photoshop is a great example of why this is so.  I currently have five versions of Photoshop installed through my Creative Cloud subscription.  Windows has difficulty knowing which version to start, much less which to uninstall because the executable file for each version uses the same name--Photoshop.exe.  In terms of designating which file types should be opened by which programs, the problem is equally evident.  For example, setting current version Photoshop CC 2014 (version 15.1) as the program to open GIF files is not possible because Windows shows it's already done that with the designated program being Photoshop.exe.  Of course, all other versions of Photoshop executable files use the name Photoshop.exe.  So, it's not surprising that Windows is confused.  But that does not help the rest of us.
    The original questioner asked how they could get Windows Programs and Features to list CC applications.  I don't think that's possible given the way Adobe has configured and named the executable files that Windows relies on.  So, I'd add a question for Adobe:  How do I uninstall versions of Photoshop and other CC applications that I no longer use.  Programs and Features cannot help me--the programs simply are not listed.  So, how does Adobe envision users uninstalling CC apps that don't appear in Programs and Features?   

  • After upgrading to mountain lion i keep getting an error message saying my startup disc is full. it shouldnt be full because there is barely anything on there and i was running windows with bootcamp prior to this with no issues

    after upgrading to mountain lion i keep getting an error message saying my startup disc is full. it shouldnt be full because there is barely anything on there and i was running windows with bootcamp prior to this with no issues. my computer now freezes and programs close randomly. The usual command for opening windows with bootcamp doesnt work. once in restarted my computer after it froze and it rebooted in windows automatically. i really just want to know if there is a way to take the upgrade off my laptop because it is very annoying.

    Hi Memalyn
    Essentially, the bare issue is that you have a 500GB hard drive with only 10GB free. That is not sufficient to run the system properly. The two options you have are to move/remove files to another location, or to install a larger hard drive (eg 2TB). Drive space has nothing to do with SMC firmware, and usually large media files are to blame.
    My first recommendation is this: download and run the free OmniDiskSweeper. This will identify the exact size of all your folders - you can drill down into the subfolders and figure out where your largest culprits are. For example, you might find that your Pictures folder contains both an iPhoto Library and copies that you've brought in from a camera but are outside the iPhoto Library structure. Or perhaps you have a lot of purchased video content in iTunes.
    If you find files that you KNOW you do not need, you can delete them. Don't delete them just because you have a backup, since if the backup fails, you will lose all your copies.
    Don't worry about "cleaners" for now - they don't save much space and can actually cause problems. Deal with the large file situation first and see how you get on.
    Let us know what you find out, and if you manage to get your space back.

  • For the 2013 versions of macbook pro should I purchase 32 bit windows or 64 bit version to be able to install it on macbook and use windows with bootcamp?

    for the 2013 versions of macbook pro should I purchase 32 bit windows or 64 bit version to be able to install it on macbook and use windows with bootcamp?

    Then you might check at any of the other university book stores or software stores or any computer store in town for the 64-bit version.
    If you want to use the 32-bit version from the school (you probably get it for free or very cheap) then you could purchase Parallels and run it as a virtual machine concurrently with OS X. There are some caveats:
    1. You have to purchase Parallels (there may be an academic discount.) List is $79.95.
    2. Your computer needs minimally 4 GBs of RAM, but realistically 8 GBs would be better.
    3. Parallels creates a pseudo-drive on your hard drive. It could easily require 50 GBs of disk space.
    Accommodating these might be more costly than buying 64-bit Windows 7. And, if you look online you may find them with an academic discount (or may be able to order it through the school.)

  • If i download windows with bootcamp does that mean i can still use Macintosh and if so how

    if i download windows with bootcamp does that mean i can still use Macintosh and if so how

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    If you installed Windows properly, you can still start in OS X and use it whenever you want. However, Boot Camp changes the startup partition to Windows, so you may note that you can't use Mac OS X.
    There are two ways of starting in OS X:
    1. Hold the Option (Alt) key while your computer is starting until you see all the bootable partitions in the screen, and choose your OS X partition.
    2. Hold the X key while your computer is starting.
    If you have a iMac or a Bluetooth keyboard, make sure you hold the key after hearing the startup chime.
    If you want to start in OS X by default, after starting in OS X, open System Preferences > Startup Disk, and choose the OS X partition

  • HT5639 Will running windows with bootcamp effect my macbook pro's overall speed

    Will running windows with bootcamp effect my macbook pro's overall speed ?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    In some cases, there may be slowness in OS X because of the lack of free space. However, you shouldn't note this and in most of cases, performance is the same in Windows and OS X after installing Windows, more in the case of a MacBook Pro with Retina display.
    The only thing you have to worry is to give Windows the necessary space. The MacBook Pro with Retina display hasn't got a lot of storage

  • Windows 7 64bit on bootcamp doesn't recognize the thunderbolt-ethernet adapter

    in my new macbook pro retina I've a problem on window 7 64bit (bootcamp 4.0). the OS doesn't recognize the thunderbolt-ethernet adapter..

    The thunderbolt ethernet adapter works without issue on my rMBP with Windows 7. Did you download and install the Windows Support software? Did you refer to the Windows help regarding networking? Did you try a different adapter? What happens when you try to use Ethernet networking?

  • Problem with the wireless speed on windows with bootcamp

    I've got a problem with the following:
    the wireless card of my mac pro is very slow when i run windows on my mac pro with bootcamp
    When i just run OSX everything works fine, but in windows, when I connect to the wireless my wireless speed
    drops to 11-18mbs.
    First I thought that it was a drivers issue, but after the update of bootcamp drivers 1.4 the problem still exist.
    First I had a Topcom wireless router now I've bought a Apple Airport Extreme, but the problem isn't solved yet...
    The router isn't 2 meters away from my mac.
    And the wireless speed is fine when i connect with my dads windows laptop...
    Does anyone has a solution? using a cable isnt a solution for me because in September I will move with my mac pro one floor down.

    You might want to ask this in the Boot Camp forums. As your wireless work fine under Mac OS X it sounds to be a software issue as opposed to a hardware one which means as Windows users they'll better be able to help.

  • Trying to install Windows with Bootcamp

    Hello. First, I do know this has been a recurrent trouble for a lot of Mac user who have tried to install Windows using Bootcamp. Believe me, I've looked it up both here in the Apple Communities and in saint Google. My situation is, however, that I have replaced my optical drive with a SSD, and now my optical drive works externally, via USB. Everytime I try to install Windows in a dedicated partition in the SSD, it just stays forever in a blank screen with blinking cursor.
    Apple's troubleshot won't work for me, and I'm beginning to think that the issue has more to do with the optical drive itself. I tried:
    To install Windows on the HDD instead of SSD.
    To unplug every USB (even mouse), except for the optical drive with Windows 7.
    To install it via USB stick (creating a bootable .iso with Disk Utility). In this case the usb stick does not even appear when holding option key.
    To try another Windows 7 version (32/64 bits).
    I have even read it might be because of a bad installation of the RAM memory... this makes no sense?!
    If anyone has encountered this same situation, I'd appreciate some help. Hope I can get this done, because Steam's Age Of Empires won't ever work in OS X :S
    Thank you all for reading and helping!
    MacBook Pro
    13-inch, Early 2011

    8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    OS X 10.9.5

    If your Mac was originally configured with a built-in Optical drive, and it was later replaced, Bootcamp knows your original configuration and will not work properly in the modified configuration, because it uses your Mac's model string (found in About This Mac -> More Info -> System Report -> Hardware) for example, MacbookPro 11,3. The only supported method to install Windows is to restore the original HW configuration and install it and then move hardware around.

  • Windows with BootCamp

    This might seem like a dumb question but I have never used BootCamp before and am getting curious.  I have a scanner (radio freq such as local Air Traffic Control) and I am looking to run a specific software to assist in uploading frequencies to the scanner. 
    So here is the question... do I need to purchase a copy of windows to load onto my mac with BootCamp?

    A full version of Windows is needed to install through Bootcamp, yes.
