Hello RedNeT. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Somehow you got misdirected to this Discussions area where we cover AirPort networking. You may find that you will get better responses by posting in the OS X 10.4 Tiger area.
With that said, the Boot Camp beta is no longer available from Apple when they released Leopard. The other popular option is Parallels.

  • HT5628 Is it possible to install MS-Windows on MacBook Pro as the only OS

    Is it possible to install MS-Windows on MacBook Pro as the only OS, using all the space of the SSD, by de-isntalling thus completely the Mac OS?

    Yes.
    but
    You will have to erase the drive completely and install Windows, you can't achieve it just by deleting OSX
    I do not recommend that you do it.

  • Can't connect to work server (windows) on MacBook Pro through VPN - via router

    Due to the nature of my job now, I am working remotely.
    The IT department hooked me up with a MacBook Pro that connects to our work server, which I know is Windows-based, via a VPN. The VPN connects just fine; however, when I go to connect to the server—it doesn't find it. It gives me:
    The server “dc03” may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again.
    Interestingly enough, the first time I used it (at Starbucks, then McDonald's) it worked, but at home it wouldn't. We isolated the issue to the router, since I could do it when plugged in, but no one could figure out what kind of settings were different or weird. I went to the store and bought 2 other routers. One worked, the Linksys, but the Belkin did. WHAT? So the cheaper one worked? This was the easiest solution, because still don't know the bottom line: why?
    Now, a local spot in town that I frequent—one that used to allow me to connect to my work server—changed routers (the "newest, fastest" AVIS). So now, I cannot connect and get that same message.
    My IT guys are stumped. I don't personally know enough about this side of technology to be of any use.
    Does anyone have any idea what's going on?

    What is the make & model of the new wireless router that you ISP has provided you? Are you able to administer it if needed?
    For the MacBook Pro, try the following, in order, until (hopefully) resolved:
    1a. Delete Preferred Network(s)
    System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Advanced > Wi-Fi tab
    Under "Preferred Networks," delete the network(s) you regularly use from the list.
    1b. Delete AirPort Keychain Entries
    Launch the "Keychain Access" application located in Applications/Utilties.
    In the windows on the left side: Select login for Keychains and "All Items" for Category.
    Click on the "Kind" filter at the top, and look for any "AirPort network password" entries...and delete them.
    1c. Add Preferred Network(s)
    System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Advanced > Wi-Fi tab
    Add the preferred network(s) using the "+" button.
    Restart or log out then back in.
    2. Move System Configuration Files
    (Note: You will have to reestablish your network connections settings.)
    Go to /Library/Preferences
    Move the SystemConfiguration folder to the desktop.
    Restart your Mac. (Note: OS X will rebuild the files that are now sitting on your desktop. If this doesn't resolve the issue, you can move the folder back to it's original location.)

  • USB 3.0 HDD disconnects on Windows 7 Macbook Pro Mid 2014

    Macbook Pro with Retina display 13" Mid 2014
    I have installed windows 7 using the Bootcamp assistant which downloaded the support files and installed from an 8GB USB 2.0 flash disk.
    All went well and I have a working installation of Windows 7 ultimate, BUT I am having issues with using a USB 3.0 external HDD which contains my backups.
    It plugs in and is detected OK, but when I try and transfer field, or just leave the disk a while it will drop the disc, then resect it again.
    I turned off the power management on the USB ports and this made no difference.
    I installed the latest extensible USB 3.0 drivers from Intel but these made no difference.
    I tried reinstalling window from scratch by deleting from Bootcamp but no difference.
    The drive works fine in OSX and on other computers but just not on the Macbook Pro in Windows 7.
    Any suggestions as I need to recover my photos from a Windows backup and cannot do this in OSX which is why I need Windows 7 working with USB 3.0
    Thanks in advance.
    Sean

    maybe it's because your ext hd is in mac os filesystem which windows cant read?

  • Adding windows to MacBook Pro using boot camp and external USB SuperDrive

    I attached my Mac SuperDrive to my MacBook Pro and inserted the disc to add windows.  The disc shows up on the screen.  Went to boot camp to install and after I chose the percentage of use, press continue, it says no USB drive recognized.  What do I do?  Tried all USB ports with no luck

  • Installing Windows on Macbook Pro, NO BOOTCAMP

    I have a 15 inch core 2 duo Macbook Pro and I went to restore my computer to tiger once again and when I did I relised that the disk is too scratched up, I can only get about 90 percent of the minimal installation done.
    After a while of trying diffrent things i got fet up and partitioned my hard drive to Master boot record and poped in my Win7 install disk, I installed Windows 7 perfectly with no problems but now when I go to boot it up all I get is a grey screen and after a while a folder icon pops up with a question mark on it.
    How can I fix this without using another mac or bootcamp, because I DON'T have access to one and i DON'T have access to another mac cd, so don't give me that option, lol.. The only thing I have access to is another windows 7 computer.
    Please help, I thought mac was suppose to be one of the top brand computers. especially with the price of them, but so far I've had more trouble with this mac than what I did with my HP, I had my HP 3 years now and my macbook not even a year.
    Thanks,

    Boot Using OPTION key:
      1. Restart the computer.
      2. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the
          "OPTION" key.
      3. Release the key when the boot manager appears.
      4. Select the desired disk icon from which you want to boot.
      5. Click on the arrow button below the icon.
    Select the Windows disk icon and click on the arrow button.
    Where did you get the Windows installer from? Your HP? That's an OEM disc that cannot be used except on your HP. You need a retail Windows disc if you want to boot the Mac exclusively with Windows. Of course you will not have any of the hardware drivers for Windows for use on the Mac hardware.
    I don't understand your complaints about a computer you don't seem to know how to use, your installer discs are all scratched up and no longer usable, but you have had lots of trouble with it. And, all your doing is trying to use it as a Windows computer. Defies logic.

  • Installing windows on macbook pro without bootcamp. Will this allow for switchable graphics?

    Hi everyone, I was thinking of buying a new Macbook Pro Retina 15 Inch with the discrete nvidia graphics card inbuilt with it.
    I love windows and I am planning on running windows 7/8 on the macbook pro as my primary OS (because of advantages of gaming and being familarized with windows os), however I have heard the issue of running windows on bootcamp severally drains battery life as apple does not allow you to switch the nvidia graphics to the integrated graphics. Is this true? I have heard that running windows 7/8 on bootcamp allows for only around 3:30 hours of battery life, whilst OSX allows for 8+ since it uses the integrated graphics primarily when not running GPU demanding applications.
    I am wondering if you can install windows 7 without bootcamp which will wipe apple OS from the laptop completely. Will this allow for the laptop to do switable graphics without problems allowing the laptop to save much needed battery life?
    Thanks in advance.
    Michael

      Sorry it seems to have taken so long for you to get an answer on this question!
      Your last post was mostly right... It IS a bad idea to go that route!
      While it's technically POSSIBLE to get Windows in place without OSX, it's a MAJOR technical hassle and you need to jump through several hoops to get to that point.
      In addition to the hassle required, having an OSX partition can be incredibly useful at times - I've had my Windows system break several times in the past where the automated (and even manual) startup-repair process failed to get Windows booting again, but a short boot into OSX later, I have the problem resolved (via OSX) and am able to get back into Windows.
      Finally, you need to be aware that the graphics card situation isn't because of the presence of OSX. Just because you get rid of MacOS doesn't mean you suddenly will be able to use either graphics card! The limitation comes into play with the hardware drivers necessary to get all your hardware working in Windows - they just don't have the facility to switch graphics cards built into them.
      I'm afraid you're stuck with the NVidia card when using Windows, one way or another!
      Bootcamp is a prerequisite BTW. Without it you won't be able to get Windows installed at all (at least not without MAJOR stumbling block, again!), and again, the graphics card limitation isn't due to OSX or Bootcamp.
      Also, battery life... Yes. You'll have significantly less in Windows, and this isn't entirely because of the graphics card situation either. MacOS is just built so well, with the limited hardware used by Apple in mind, that power-management when using OSX os significantly better! The legendary battery life of Apple systems is actually primarily due to the operating system, not the batteries themselves!
      As a helpful indication: On my 2009 17" MBP I get about 7 hours on the integrated chip in OSX (8 is pusing it, but is possible sometimes); about 5 hours in OSX when using the NVidia; and about 3 and a half when I'm in Windows.
      Hope this all helps you. If you have any further questions feel free!
      Apologies for the scattered approach to answering your posts - it's LATE where I am and I"m kinda rushing through things... :-)

  • How do I right click in windows with macbook pro?

  • Mac and Windows on MacBook Pro

    Hi,
    I read a lot of hype about running Mac OSX and Windows together on the new intel machines but there seems to be no clear direction from Apple 'or anywhere else' on this except a beta bootcamp and a virtual software option.
    I have just got a Macbook Pro mainly for OSX use but I have a couple of Windows only apps on an Old PC box that I would like to run on the MacBook Pro... to save me worrying about accessing the PC and better still when I am not at home trying to get someone else to access the PC for the info.
    I see bootcamp is in Beta still yet Apple is selling the Windows Mac thing like it is the norm, easy and a fully fuctional option.
    Maybe some experianced Mac intel Mac/Windows users can answer this for me... Is it best to use Bootcamp or Parallels Mac software?
    Which option is easier to use both systems on the MBP?
    Which is more reliable?
    Many thanks guys... and girls.

    Yeah, I did not bother with boot camp because I have played that game before (Windows/Linux) and having to re-boot all the time is very annoying - especially if your in a hurry!
    I tested Parallels and XP Pro on a MACbook and it ran nicely. I did Python speed tests (Pystone.py) and found it FASTER in Windows than in OSX - pretty weird. I'm still tyring to figure out why.
    Anyway, I decided to upgrade to a MacBook Pro - I want to make sure Windoze runs as fast as it can!
    In my case, my primary need is VISIO - its the only program I have not found a MAC version of.
    Just to let you know, when I run Windows XP on the Intel Duo it takes a constant 25-35% CPU resources on both CPUS. Out of windows, the CPU % drops to 1-5%.
    On my (monster) MacBook Pro 17" with Intel core 2 Duos Windows puts both CPUs up to about (giggle) 5-10%!!! Out of Windows, its below 2%... Nice machine....
    In both tests, this is JUST to load the Windoze desktop - I'm not actually running any specific program - doing so adds a few more percent. Although, again, on the PRO laptop it does not add very much at all.
    I did not test VM ware since it was not out yet. And I need to buy and setup a fleet of support laptops NOW. When it comes out, and I hear good things, I will try it out.
    But to be honest, I would rather ditch the last of my Windows software first....

  • Audio problem with boot camp when I connect my windows 7 macbook pro to HDTV

    I have windows 7 32 bits installed on my macbook pro and I setup boot camp 4. When I connect my macbook pro to HDTV using mini display cable, the audio doesn't work. Although I set the default sound device to digital audio? help please!

    I've found that jiggling with the audio connection to my Mac Pro when running in Boot camp, I get audio OK. I don't understand why -- because I always get audio when running in Leopard.

  • How long does it take to transfer files from Windows to Macbook Pro

    Hi guys
    I just got a macbook pro (not the one with retina display)
    I have all of my files on my windows and just started to set up my mac using the windows transfer program, but it is taking a really long time. The estimate time remaining jumps between 30-35 hours. This is over Wi-Fi. I have read that it is faster using an Ethernet cable, I think I have one that is pluged into connecting both computers, but it isn't speeding anything up.
    What should I do? I don't want to leave either computer on for such a long time. (is there anything I should put my Mac on so it doesn't overheat, its currently on a wood table).
    Should I stop it? I dont want to ruin anything on the computer so soon. If so, how do I do it. I had already started to transfer files earlier today but accidently closed the Mac, which stopped the process and couldn't restart it again, so I turned it off since I couldn't find anything on the screen to stop it.
    I have an external harddrive that was connected to my windows, would it be faster to hold the mac's power button, start the startup again and just connect the external harddrive?
    Please help. Thanks in advance.

    Wi-Fi is slowest. Wi-fi must fight interference and other environmental challenges that cables don't have to worry about at all.
    Cabled Ethernet would be much faster. If your Windows computer has Gigabit Ethernet, it could actually be faster than FireWire.

    I would only abort if there is a safe way to (like a visible Cancel button), otherwise you may lose data.
    Connecting the external hard drive to the Mac could work, but if the hard drive is formatted with the NTFS disk format, you must have extra software on your MacBook Pro that can read that. If the drive is formatted as FAT32, it should work since Macs can read (but not write to) that Windows disk format.

  • Remove Windows from MacBook Pro

    Hello,
    I have Windows 7 on a Boot Camp partition on my MacBook Pro. However, I find that I don't need it anymore, as everything I use now is Mac compatible. My question is: When I remove the Windows partition and restore my hard drive to just OS X, is it a good idea to backup my Mac data and reformat/reinstall OS X as well?
    Any advice would be much appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Use Boot Camp Assistant to remove Windows. It will not impact your OSx partition except to restore the hard drive to a single partition. But, it is always a good idea to backup your data whenever you do anything to a hard drive. Things unexpectedly happen and when they do you'll be glad you have a backup.
