Windows 8.1 Installation On Mac - Got a Problem

Windows 8.1 Installation On Mac - Got a Problem
Hi everyone,
I'v researched a lot about installing Win on Mac but I still got a problem when everything seems to be fine.
I got a Macbook Pro Retina, Late 2013 with OSX Mavericks and Bootcamp 5 installed on. And for installing windows, I already got an empty 8GB USB Drive formatted as MS-DOS (FAT32). And I've prepared Windows 8.1 ISO in my Downloads folder.
During my last effort, I opened Bootcamp Assist and then Chose the options: "Create Windows 7 or later version installation disk" and "Download the latest windows support software from Apple". Then I chose my Windows 8.1 ISO location and my destination. When it finished ,I was expecting it to run windows setup. But it closed and nothing happened
When I opened BootCamp again, only the first two options were available as before and "Install or remove Windows 7 or later" wasn't.
Now ,what do I have to do exactly? (NOTE: I'm not a professional. So please answer in a simple way. )
Should I restart the Mac and Hold OPTION while booting to run Windows setup? I was thinking about it but I thought I might screw it up all. So I decided to ask it here to be sure.
Any help will be appreciated by heart!

Hi Alcatrax,
I would recommend following the steps in this link in order to help you complete your installation of Boot Camp:
Boot Camp Help: Install Windows on your Mac
https://help.apple.com/bootcamp/mac/5.0/help/#apdecf0e4b6-b472-438d-881e-57c230b 1c250
Prepare your Mac for Windows
Boot Camp Assistant helps prepare your Mac for Windows by creating a new partition for Windows and then starting the Windows installer. Optionally, you can install Windows using an external USB drive that contains a Windows ISO image downloaded from Microsoft and Windows support software.
Important: If you’re using a portable computer, connect the power adapter before continuing.
Insert an external drive into the USB port on your Mac and keep it inserted while you install Windows and Windows support software.
Open Boot Camp Assistant, located in the Other folder in Launchpad.
Select the option to install Windows, select other options you need, then click Continue.
Here are the other options you can choose:
If you want to install Windows from an external USB drive and you have a Windows ISO image, select the option to copy the image to an external USB drive. If this option isn’t available, your Mac doesn’t support installing Windows from an external USB drive.
If you haven’t already downloaded the Windows support software for your Mac, select the option to download it. In a later step, you’ll install the Windows support software on your Windows partition.
Follow the onscreen instructions for the options you selected.
When you’re asked to create a Windows partition, specify a partition size. If you have multiple hard drives in your computer, you can select a different hard drive and create a single partition on that drive, so that the drive is solely used for Windows.
Note: You can’t resize the partition later.
If you need help determining the best size for your Windows partition, refer to your Windows installer documentation. For Windows 8, create a partition that is at least 30 GB.
In a later step, you’ll format the Windows partition.
If you are using an installation disc for the 64-bit version of Windows, insert it into the optical drive in your Mac or the external optical drive. Otherwise, keep the external USB drive with the 64-bit version of Windows inserted.
Click Install.
Boot Camp Assistant creates the Windows partition, restarts your Mac, then opens the Windows installer.
Thanks for being a part of the Apple Support Communities!
Regards,
Braden

Windows media player 9 for MAC OS X PROBLEMS!

I have just installed windows media player 9 for MAC OS X (from this site http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/mac/mp9/default.aspx), in an attempt to view a windows media file sent to me via email.
Since the install, I can no longer view any media on the BBC website (not sure what application they use on this).
I have dragged all Windows Media Player 9 related files to the trash, emptied the trash and then done a restart of my computer. still no joy.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated...

Windows 8.1 Pro on Mac pro resolution problem

I have created a partition for windows 8.1 pro on my 13' retina display mac pro via boot camp, everything is fine except the resolution, when i open the browser, i could see pixels, the words aren't very sharp, but this isn't my biggest problem, when i open the Solidworks software i'm working on, the icons are too small, or the texts are too big for their boxes. what is happening here? anyone knows what is all about, or how to fix this? changing the resolution of the display didn't solve the problem.

This is how the words look like in the browser page, you could see pixels. The maximum resolution for this machine is 2560*1600

Windows 7,new installation, images folder path configuration problem

Hello all,
I am having a difficult time getting images folder (or possibly loaded images) to perform correctly on a new installation.
When apex starts up, the page has no visual objects rendered. Here's a portion of the page's source:
h1. Sample rendered page segment
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:htmldb="http://htmldb.oracle.com" xmlns:apex="http://apex.oracle.com">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" />
<title>Application Express Login</title>
<link rel="icon" href="C:\Users\violin\Documents\OracleDownloads\apex_4.1_en\apex\imagesfavicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="C:\Users\violin\Documents\OracleDownloads\apex_4.1_en\apex\imagesfavicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="C:\Users\violin\Documents\OracleDownloads\apex_4.1_en\apex\imagescss/apex_4_1.min.css" type="text/css" />
You can see the html is being rendered, but incorrectly. In the excerpt, the images path is incorrect.
h3. As it appears in the rendered page
<link rel="icon" href="C:\Users\violin\Documents\OracleDownloads\apex_4.1_en\apex\imagesfavicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
h3. As it should appear (manually corrected image path)
<link rel="icon" href="C:\Users\violin\Documents\OracleDownloads\apex_4.1_en\apex\images/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
I'm not sure whether the folder path is (forward|backward)(single|double) slash delimited.
h1. Listener script
I've started the listener with and without the apex.images parameter. I commented out the "plain version." Here's my listener startup script:
@echo on
cls
set oracle_sid=xe
set localcd=%cd%
cd C:\Users\violin\Oracle\apex_listener.1.1.3.243.11.40
rem java -jar apex.war
java -Dapex.images=C:\Users\violin\Oracle\apex_4.1_en\apex\apex\images\ -jar apex.war
h1. Troubleshooting
I've tried a number of corrections including rerunning apex_epg_config.sql, apexldimg.sql, adding an apex.images parameter to listener startup (just a shot in the dark), deleting and recreating apex.properties, adding and removing trailing /'s, \'s, //'s, \\'s, etc. I didn't have success with any of these approaches, so it may have been cumulative changes that resulted in the problem. I just list them as having tried (at least once).
h1. Environment

Thank you for taking the time to respond.

Hello Jeff E,
Thank you for quick reply.
Yes, I did specify a full path rather than /i/. I think I had originally started with /i/ but didn't understand where /i/ maps to a folder path, so I reinstalled and specified the path with similar results.
I'll test reset_image_prefix.sql and post results.
I'm confused about the EPSQL gateway v. APEX listener. I just tried to follow the documentation which offered multiple options. I am not familiar with either of them, so I can't defend a choice.
Thank you.

My Mac got stolen. I had windows 7 in it as well.

My Mac got stolen. I had windows 7 on it. When I realized that my Mac was stolen, I went right away to find my iPhone app on my iPhone and from the three options that are in iCloud ( play sound, look, erase Mac) I choose "look" . My Mac was connected to the Internet in about 4 hours from the time that was stolen. My iphone notified me when my Mac was connected to the Internet and after that I lost the signal ( that means that my Mac did look and now the person that stole my Mac is not being able to use it because it is look/ which means that my Mac can't connected to Internet because it is not useable) everything was okay until I remembered that I had windows installed in it ( in bootcamp ) and when my Mac first turns on, it starters with windows 7 right away. My question is Will iCloud look only the Mac system or it looks the windows 7 system or both?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You locked the Mac, not "look". After locking the Mac, it can't be tracked anymore, but the thief can't use it anymore too.
From what I know, Find my Mac sets a firmware-level password. With this, you can't start up the Mac if you don't know the password. This is known because it asks you for the password before starting the operating system, at least with OS X, but it should be the same with Windows

Look here for a way to do it like a 2011 MBAir is set up for.
If you get it to work it will un-dim the option to create the W7 installer and Boot Camp drivers on the USB drive automatically.

To install windows 8 or 7 on mac pro (10.9.5)

Hi
I'd like to install windows 7 or 8 on my macbook pro(10.9.5).I tried reading how to do that but there's no success could anyone tell in detail how to do that?

Howdy rbannaii,
It sounds like you are wanting to install either Windows 7 or 8 on your Mac. Since I do not know specifically what resource you were using before, I would recommend the information in the following link to help you get Windows installed using Boot Camp:
Boot Camp Help: Install Windows on your Mac
Here are the initial system requirements and preparations that need to be made, and once everything is verified, click the link and follow the instructions in there:
Install Windows on your Mac
With Boot Camp, you can use Windows 7 or 8, or OS X on your Mac.
To use Boot Camp, you need the keyboard and mouse or trackpad that came with your Mac. (If they aren’t available, use a USB keyboard and mouse.)
To install Windows using an installation disc you need the following:
A built-in disc drive or a compatible external optical drive.For information about using your Mac with an external optical drive, see the documentation that came with your Mac.
An installation disc with the 64-bit version of Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Professional, Windows 7 Ultimate, Windows 8, Windows 8 Pro, Windows 8.1, or Windows 8.1 Pro.You must use a single full-install Windows installation disc. You cannot use an upgrade version of Windows.
An external USB drive formatted as MS-DOS (FAT).After you install Windows, you need to install support software that lets Windows work with your Mac hardware. You can download the support software to an external USB drive. To format an external USB drive as MS-DOS (FAT), use Disk Utility, located in the Other folder in Launchpad.
You may be able to install Windows using an external USB drive that contains a Windows ISO image (a disk image that contains the entire contents of a DVD) downloaded from Microsoft and Windows support software. To find out if you can install Windows using a USB drive, open Boot Camp Assistant, click Continue, then see if the option “Create a Windows 7 or later install disk” is available.
To install Windows using an external USB drive you need the following:
An ISO image of the 64-bit version of Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Professional, Windows 7 Ultimate, Windows 8, Windows 8 Pro, Windows 8.1, or Windows 8.1 Pro downloaded to your Mac.
An external USB drive that is 8 GB or larger.Boot Camp Assistant erases the external drive and copies the Windows ISO image and support software to it.
If you need help determining the best size for your Windows partition, refer to your Windows installer documentation. For Windows 8, create a partition that is at least 30 GB.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

How do I share windows and iOS on my MAC book pro

how do i share windows and iOS on the same hard disk on my MAC? will each of the operating system see the whole disk?

Either you don't understand or misuse just what iOS is, it is only found on iPad, iPhone, iPod and does not run on Macs in any way, and as far as we here the only operating system of interest is Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 or above.
There are forums for iPad and if you have a notebook then you want MacBook Pro forum.
As for Windows, there is a forum for "Boot Camp" to set aside and use part of your hard drive for Windows to run natively.

No guarantees, but you could startup to your Vista DVD and try repairing startup. Just choose the options that move you closer and closer to Windows fix options, not toward installation.
