Has anyone been able to do this successfully using Bootcamp?

I think there is a difference between MBP 13 and 15. 15 has the extra video card, so it is more than the few more inches. I had a couple of bumps with my MBP 13 and 10.9.1. I had a little problem with the partition for windows. It stopped until I removed that last partition that was empty.

Windows can't find OSX partition

Windows, both under Boot Camp, and Parallels 6, used to be able to recognize the partition on which OSX is installed. It stopped recognizing it and I don't know why or how to fix it. My version of OSX is Snow Leopard; version of Windows is Vista Home Premium (32 bit). I have been thinking of upgrading to OSX Lion. Would that fix the problem? I am also thinking of upgrading to Parallels 7, but doubt that it would fix the problem since Windows does not recognized OSX partition even in Boot Camp.

I don't know if it's the same, but I removed a lot of devices in Device Manager (for example the and they get automatically reinstalled)
For example I uninstalled "Apple Broadcom Built-in Bluetooth" and "Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator" under Bluetooth Radios and all devices under Human Interface Devices. To the point that no mouses or keyboards worked and I had to plug-in a wired USB mouse to go on...
When I say that I lost the bluetooth connectivity, I mean only my BT mouse (a MS Sculpt Touch mouse I bought yesterday. My Apple Wireless Keyboard works.
But my mouse dissapeared after reinstalling the bootcamp software and I can't for the life of me reinstall it again. It gets discovered but it gets an authentication error before pairing. Alternatively, I can right-click on the discovered mouse and check the HID BT services and when I OK it starts installing to dissapear after getting "succesfully installed drivers"

Command to Start/Stop "Windows File Sharing" on OsX Tiger Client

Dear Mac Gurus:
How to use command to start/stop “Windows File Sharing” on OSX Tiger client?
Thanks!
Max

Hi Max,
Windows file sharing requires two daemons, nmbd and smbd. They can be started/stopped as follows:
To start (type the following all in a single line):
sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/nmbd.plist /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/smbd.plist
To stop:
sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/nmbd.plist /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/smbd.plist
The option "-w" indicates that the default setting (whether start them at boot time or not) is also modified (the same effect as you turn them on/off via System Preferences -> Sharing). This means, if you start them and shutdown your Mac without stopping them, then they will be automatically restarted next time you reboot the Mac.
If you use "load -F" instead of "laod -w", then they are started but the default setting is not modified (if it is off then remains off).
If you use "unload" instead of "unload -w", then they are stopped the default setting is not modified (if it is on then remains on and will be started at next reboot).
If you feel the commands are too long to type, then you can devide them into two commands, for example:
sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/nmbd.plist
sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/smbd.plist
See launchctl man page for more detail.

In osx, all three partitions show when i go to preferences-... (osx is selected as default boot disk)
i don't dare to select windows as osx doesn't show on boot with alt
thanks for your help.

Try a PRAM reset:
PRAM RESET
Zap the PRAM
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

Watch a windows 95 cd on OSX 10.4.6?

what's the easiest way to watch a windows 95 cd on OSX 10.4.6? I have an Italian learning CD I'd like to open. I downloaded WineBottler but it doesn't seem to work.

At home I am running Suse 9.3 and have no trouble connecting to my powerbook (10.4.6). I do use the KDE "explorer" program (Konqueror) and just type in (in the address bar):
smb://IPADDRESS/SHARENAME
It takes a few seconds but a windows pops up asking for user name and password. A few more seconds and I'm in.
Are both machines on a domain or a workgroup? I just have a 2 computer workgroup called "Home" (creative, I know). In the Yast control center in Suse I configured the Samba client to be blank in the "Membership" box. Maybe try changing that around (make it blank or if it is blank, enter the workgroup name).
If this doesn't help, you may want to try posting this question in a Linux forum, specifically Suse 10.0 if possible. There are definitely a lot of variations b/t distributions, even b/t different versions of the same distro.

The top part of a Safari window is hid by OSX menu bar

I have an application that runs in a browser window. When this particular app is running in
Safari the top of the browser window is hid by OSX 10.4.1 menu bar; so I cannot move the browser window, also under the Safari/View menu all items are grayed out except text encoding. All other Safari windows work okay.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Check Safari / Preferences - Extensions. If you have any installed, turn that off, then relaunch Safari.
If it's not Extensions, then follow the instructions here for troubleshooting third party Safari add ons that may be preventing the page to render correctly.

2 hard drives - Windows on one and OSX on the other

I currently have one 750gb spinning HDD with Windows on a Boot Camp partition in my MacBook. I am thinking of getting a new 256gb SSD and making it a OSX only drive. Once I get that setup, I would like to get rid of the SuperDrive and install my old HDD as a 2nd drive and use it to boot to Windows.
Can I have 2 hard drives with one booting to OSX and one booting to Windows? Will I have to reformat/reinstall Windows on the 2nd drive or will it recognize the old Windows bootcamp partition?

Install the OS X drive in place of the optical drive. Windows will not boot from an external drive, and it may treat the optical drive as an external device. If you are willing, then experiment the other way around to be sure Windows will boot from the optical drive connection.

Can't copy some files from Windows 7 to Mac OSX over network

Hi,
I'm running the latest version of Max OSX v10.8.4 on a brand new Macbook Pro.
I have followed the setup instructions at http://www.7tutorials.com/how-change-workgroup-mac-os-x-easy-networking to access my Macbook from Windows, and http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/24950/how-to-share-a-folder-in-os-x-with-windows/ to share some folders from my Macbook to Windows.
I am now trying to copy some files from my Windows 7 Pro (SP1) computer to my Mac, and have hit the following problems:
I can view my Macbook in my list of local networked computers on WIndows, but I cannot access it. Clicking on it causes Windows 7 to try and access it, but then I get a message after a minute saying the network path could not be found. However, if I manually enter the IP address of my Macbook in the Windows address bar (\\192.168.0.191), I can view and access all the shared folders. I can never access the Macbook via it's computer name (\\MACBOOK-ROB).
I cannot copy some files from Windows to my Macbook shared folders via Windows. There is nothing to distinguish these files from the hundereds of other files that I have successfully copied to my Macbook. They are pictures and music with no special characters in the filenames, not overly long filenames or folder paths, no access restrictions, or any other security restriction that I can see. However, every single attempt to copy these files to my Macbook results in WIndows reporting that access to the destination was denied.
I have tried both these above scenarios on WiFi and Ethernet, and the results are the same.
So:
Why am I unable to access my Macbook by it's computer name on the network? How can Windows see it, but not access it?
What are the limitations on transferring files over SMB that is (presumably) causing these specific files to fail?
Thanks for any help you can offer.

I have a fix for inability to copy files. I had the same problem moving a lot of old files across my LAN from a Windows XP machine to a Mac Mini running Mountain Lion. After confirming copy of some special file, I would get an error that terminated the copy operation, and info on the Mac side would show a locked folder.
I finally decided to eliminate all special files on the Windows side, before copying, by running
attrib -s -h -r /s /d [drive or folder]\*.*
in a command window. Running attrib /? tells what the arguments mean, but it doesn't explain that you need the *.* to make the command go through the hierarchy clearing the special attributes on all the files.
After I did that, and then used drag and drop between two Windows Explorer windows (one on the Windows drive, on on the target drive on the Mac), the whole move operation ran to completion without stopping either for error or to ask for confirmation.
I do not have a fix for the inability to access some computers by name rather than by IP address. I'm looking into the possibility of activating bind on the Mac but I haven't done anything yet.

How do I install windows 8 pro with osx 10.9 Mavericks?, How do I install windows 8 pro with osx 10.9 Mavericks?

Hello everyone I just purchased a brand new mac and I am trying to install windows 8 pro using bootcamp assistant. I get through almost the entire install when i get an error message that says "installation cannot proceed files missing" something like that...
my windows 8 pro is brand new and I downloaded osx mavericks from the app store has anyone else had this problem can anyone help me????!?!?

Hi. Because both Mavericks and Windows 8 are still new, they may not be free of error. Apple needs more time to perform more tests to ensure that these two different OS's will work properly without getting in conflicts. If it's posdible, I highly recommand you to downgrade back to Lion or Mountain Lion and install Windows 7 (if you have a copy of it). In my experience, all advises from Genius Bar members and computer articles confirm that Windows 7 will work on Macs with Lion OS. It should also work on Mountain Lion. Besides Boot Camp, you could try to virtualize Windows OS and its applications by using VirtualBox, CrossOver and other VMs. I already have an Oracle VirtualBox but I would like to try Boot Camp since it allows me to enjoy almost all Windows features that may be limited in VMs.

2011 17" Macbook Pro constantly drops Wifi connection on Windows 7 but not OSX. What's going on???

On OSX, the Wifi works perfectly. I rarely if ever get disconnected from the internet. However, when I switch over to Windows 7, the internet drops constantly (every 30 seconds or so).
I recently updated my OSX to the newest one (I think Yosemite) that released in December, which wiped out my Windows 7 operating system. Thus, I reinstalled windows 7 on my computer and everything works just like it used to except for the internet dropping 24/7. The weird thing about it is that whenever I "diagnose" the internet connection when it drops, the internet seems to come back to life again (for the short 30 seconds that it's up). I'm not sure why it's doing this. The internet didn't drop constantly on my previous Windows 7 until I reinstalled it.
The internet works fine with a different internet connection on Windows 7, which makes me think that the problem has to do with my internet or router... Has anyone had this problem? Restarting the router didn't do anything.

Do yu have any other Macs running Yosemite on your WiFi Network?

What is the most reliable way to run one Windows accounting program in Osx 10.5.8?

I have a simple Windows application where I basically do my accounts. I do not want to tie up my Imacs resources with running a full Windows Os "emulation" like Paralells or VMware Fusion just to run a simple accounting program.
I have heard about apps that can run one windows application at the time through a kind of Osx Application which emulates windows some how. Is is true that this is a better way of running my accounting program? Is it reliable? What I do is to punch in invoices and print out reports basically. How much resources does this "consume" to run it in "one simple application mode" in comparison with for example Paralells?
And what is the term for running windows in "one simple application mode"?

I guess you could try the free trial of CrossOver. http://www.codeweavers.com/products/crossover/ You did not say what app you want to run so it is difficult for us to recommend crossover as being able to run the app.
But your question is that you are looking for the "most reliable" way to run a Windows program. In my opinion you need Parallels or Fusion. These run the real Windows OS so my thinking is it is the "most reliable" method of running a Windows app on an Apple computer, other than Boot Camp.
But you said you don't want Parallels. This is probably why you have not received any responses. You eliminated the most reliable and easiest method, in my opinion, when you initially posted. Parallels does not consume any resources until you start it up to use your app. You can close it after you are done with your app. Of course hard drive space is required for storing the OS, your app, and data. But you still need to store your app and data regardless of method you choose.
One more thing, Parallels and Fusion create a virtual machine for running Windows.
So my recommendation, use Parallels or Fusion.

Accessing files on boot camp windows partition and Mac OSx partition

Before I install Windows 7 64 bit on my iMac using Apple's instruction manual, I have a question. The manual states:
*+FAT—Provides better compatibility, allowing you to read and write files on the Windows volume from Mac OS X. This partition must be 32 GB or smaller.+*
*+If you’re installing Windows Vista or Windows 7, the Windows partition must use the NTFS format.+*
I can read, but I want to be sure I understand these two statements as they relate to each other. Because the Windows 7 partition must be NTFS format, does this mean that there is no way to read, write or copy files from one partition to the other, no matter what the partition size is?
If that is the case, I assume the best way to move files from one partition to the other would be to use a flash drive or is that also not possible due to the file format on the flash drive? I also have an external hard drive used for time machine. Any way to use that?
How will I move files from one partition to the other? And yes, I really want to do this.

Hi,

Hi Stefan --
Could you explain how using an external HD helps? If I wanted to use an external HD for read/write access from both Snow Leopard and Windows (XP and/or 7), would it need to be in a particular format? (No partitions - this would be a new, empty drive.) If, for example, I formatted it as NTFS, could OSX write to it if it were external?
Since I don't have/use files that are bigger than 4GB in size I am able to use FAT32 as file system on the mentioned external harddisk and flash drives.
Whether I use the harddisk or a flash drive for file transport depends for me on the amount of files I have to move.
Up to 8GB of files I move with a flash drive, everything above that I use the harddisk.

Hi, I have macbook Pro, running Leopard OS X. I partitioned my hard drive a while ago to install windows and only allowed myself 10 Gig of data. Anyway, i deleted windows and want another OSX on there instead. How do i make this partition bigger please??

Hi, I have macbook Pro, running Leopard OS X. I partitioned my hard drive a while ago to install windows and only allowed myself 10 Gig of data. I deleted windows after i realised i wasnt enjoying using it at all and wasted my hard drive. I now decided that i want another OSX on there instead yet i have only allowed myself 10 gb on the partition. I have ben thru some programms but am struggling on making this partition bigger.
I only want it at 20gb but cant seem to make the partition bigger, only smaller or split it into further partition.
Is there a way to do this, i have all installation discs from original OSX so think this could help.
Any help please would be fantastic.
Thanks Chris

Hi, dragging the partition will only make smaller, not larger. In disk utility you can only split or make smaller the partitions. Yes i booted from installation disks also but still no help.
And Brody, I am willing to erase the disc completely, infact jus started doing a backup in order to do so but that failed also. And the information you gave on partition a hard drive, Although very simple and i already know how to do this, but it wont let me make the partition bigger, and i dont want to make a new partition, just enlarge the one i already have, which i dont see possible from disk utility.
Getting really frustrated now, even backing up is saying no to me. **** external being a douche.
I dont mind erasing the hard drive but surely this must be doable without deleting the secondary partition back t a single volume, and re partitioning into 2 volumes again.
Thanks again

Can I load Windows 8 and delete OSX?

I'm looking for a new windows notebook and, sad as it is, the Macbook Air looks like a better Windows machine than anything that is running Windows natively.
I understand I can use Bootcamp to install Windows 8. Once I've done that, can I delete the OSX partition and only boot into Windows? Or is it possible to do a full Windows 8 install without Bootcamp?

Looking into it a bit further it looks like the OS is responsible for the long battery life, not the hardware.
http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2013/10/why-does-windows-have-terrible-battery- life.html
So less reason to buy the Macbook Air as it looks like I can expect comparable battery life to similar spec'd Windows machines. Although the Mac is still one of the least expensive options, it's probably not worth all the hassle of re-doing the OS.
Thanks for your helpful replies!
