WIndows Vista Home Premiun 64Bits + MacBook Pro 15" Mid 2007 ( 2.4 Ghz )

Hi all,
i have a MacBook pro, ( MacBookPro3,1 ) with bootrom version MBP31.0070.B07. It is the Mid 2007 model, with 4 GB Ram. I want to install Windows for gaming purposes and i was wondering, since the documentation in the Boot Camp Support seems to be mixed, Could i install Windows Vista Home Premium 64Bits OEM, or do i need to install the 32 Bit version ? the documentation seem to suggest that the boot camp 2.1 download will offer supoort for Vista 64bits. Please help me decide what best to do here.
Thanks in advance,
Luis R. Rojas

You need 64-bit if you want to use more than 2GB RAM.

Is Firefox 4.0 now compatible with ZoneAlarm Browser 1.5.260.0 and Windows Vista Home Premium, 64Bit System, Service Pack 2?

Is Firefox 4.0 now compatible with ZoneAlarm Browser 1.5.260.0 and Windows Vista Home Premium, 64Bit System, Service Pack 2? Earlier when checking for updates there were compatibility issues. Were these issues resolved to allow me secure operation with Firefox 4.0?

I also am a zone alarm user and was not to happy about the issue with 4.0
I use sky .fm for music and was not happy when it would not play. required update to latest flash,which didn't work no matter what. even the suggestion in another thread.

Windows Vista Home Premium 64bit - Not syncing media

I'm migrating myself from an HP laptop that will sync my Centro contact/addresses/media etc. The HP runs XP Pro. I'm moving to a Sony which runs Windows Vista Home. And I am able to sync most everything but the media. None of my pictures/video or any media will transfer from my phone to my laptop. I've read about currupt media and since it transfers to my HP, I'm thinking I'm good. I currently have my /media/ to overwrite from my phone to my pc. I'm wondering what I am missing.

Palm does not support 64-bit Vista for cabled Hotsyncs.
There is a huge Vista64 bit thread at the top of this section explaining your options - BlueTooth Hotsync is about the only way you can procede with a Centro.

Tx2120us, upgrade from Windows Vista Home Premium 64bit to Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit

I wonder if there's anyone out there who has managed to sucessfully upgrade his/her HP tx2120us tablet PC from Windows Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Ultimate or to do a fresh Windows 7 ultimate install on a HP tx2120us tablet PC.
I purchased a Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit edition AND a 320GB 7200rpm hard drive and started a fresh Windows 7 installation. After the installation was done, the network adapters fixed and wireless were working. I also managed to install the Audio drivers for the built in realtek audio adapter. Even the touchpad, touchscreen and pen seem to work but then I stopped after several attempts to install a suitable display driver for the NVIDIA G-Force video adapter. The resolution with my Vista OS is 1280 x 800 but the default Windows 7 OS only provides a generic 1064 x 768 resolution and not any download from HP could install a suitable NVIDIA driver for Windows 7.
As I stopped there I don't even know if there is a driver for the card reader or the Light Scribe DVD burner and whatever is buit in into this tx2120us.
I'd really very much appreciate if someone who had succeeded with the installation of Win 7 Ultimate 64bit on the tx2120us could provide me with working drivers or the links to them.
thanks

Using Windows 7 Home Premium on Macbook Pro 10.6.6

How can I find a manual or other information to use Windows 7 Home Premium on Mac Book Pro 10.6.6.
Specically, I am trying to find information concerning keyboard combinations that work on a PC that don't
use the same keystrokes on the Mac Book Pro (ie: what keystroke combintions to "print screens").
Also other infromation where Windows 7 differs on the Macbook Pro than what occurs on a PC.

So your looking for the keyboard mapping differences between the two operating systems.
As you know you can use a PC keyboard from someplace like Logitech and map the keys the way you want too.
So really all the hard work has been done for you, use the programable PC keyboard and everything works just like before.
If you search Apple's site you'll find all the OS X keyboard combinations.

Itunes and Windows Vista Home Premium 64bit

I just purchased a HP TouchSmart with Vista Home Premium 64bit system.I have itunes loaded but after about 10 min. after i connect my ipod to it it locks up the computer completely. I have tried itunes on 2 identical computers and got the same results.
I also did a restore on the ipod and it still does the same thing. Any help will be appreciated.bobwire

Just an update, though it's more of a (non) update.
I'm not sure how but I managed to get it working.
After doing the things mentioned above, I tried a system restore but that didn't work and seemed to throw more error messages my way. Then I ran AppleSoftewareUpdater.exe and it gave me red X errors with no details, I assumed the install failed completely.
Following this, I manually downloaded and tried to install the latest version again but it said iTunes was already installed. At this point I'm far past annoyed.
So, I click on iTunes and now everything works.
I wish I knew what actually fixed the problem so others could benefit if they're experiencing the same thing....hence why I say, (non)-update.
Anyways,
Take care Everyone

How do I install Windows Vista on my New Macbook Pro

I need to use DOS for work to fill out reports for my organization. I have the newest 15.4 macbook pro with intel core 2 duo. I want to know the exact steps to install windows vista on my computer?? please help me.

It depends on what you want to use Windows for, are you going to work mainly in Windows or OSX? Will you need to cross between the two and if so will restarting your computer be a pain?
I use Paralles, a copy of that is around $75 as far as I can remember.
Personally I had a copy of Windows XP so that was the first Windows OS I used with Paralles, then Vista came out so I though I would get a copy as it was supposed to be * the * Windows OS, when I installed Vista I was so dissapointed with it. I would go as far as say it is one of the ugliest OS's I have seen, I actually prefer XP, it's like the old space programs when you look at the sets, they made an effort but you can see the budget was low, it looks like a really poor effort at copying OSX but they didn't spend the money on doing it right.
Anyway, I just use XP so Vista for me was a waste of money. XP works faster and is more intuitive than Vista 'If Windows can be intuative that is'.
I also read out there that security in Vista isn't what it is cracked up to be.
Hope this helps.

Possible Failing MacBook Pro 15" (mid 2007) B(lack)SOD?

Yeah, yet another thread about the NVIDIA card. But! The screen goes black sporadically! The laptop screen and not my external monitor fails, sometimes comes back on again. A reboot used to help. Then it failed completely, I couldn't even get a signal during booting. Luckily my external monitor still worked so I could run a last backup.
I called Apple Support and I was asked to clear the PRAM and hold down the power button for 10 seconds without power. After the reset, I could see the computer boot up, log in, but after a few seconds the screen went black again. The support guy seemed stumped and gave me a case number.
I left the computer on the whole day, and came back only to find that the screen was on a again. Now it seems to be working perfectly again, but I am scared that it might happen again when I really need the computer (during a presentation or something).
A quick recap:
- laptop display is on, i can change the brightness, OS X detects it
- video to the laptop display disappears sporadically
- external display works in every case
Is it possible that my 8600M card is failing? Anyone else with a MBP m07 and a black screen of death experience these symptoms?

This sounds more like a display issue than a GPU issue. Is this a new MacBook Pro? If not... which version do you have? The next time your display goes black... look at it up close... or place the back of the display up towards a light (the the light can shine through the Apple logo on the lid) and see if you can see anything. It sounds as if either your backlight or your display may be failing (especially since you're fine on an external display).

Crucial m4 256 GB internal SSD not showing in disk utility on MacBook Pro a1226 (late 2007) 2.4 ghz.

After the original Fujitsu 160gb hd died in my MacBook Pro (model A1226), I was advised at the Mac store to upgrade to a SSD. I installed the crucial m4 256gb internal SSD and powered on MacBook Pro from the Snow Leopard install disk so I could use disk utility to erase and reformat the new SSD.
The problem is the SSD is not showing up in disk utility. I have opened the computer twice and checked cable connections and still no luck. I have powered off computer and let sit for a while and tried again. I check compatability on crucial site before ordering SSD so I don't know what the problem is. Bad disk?

You were given bad advice.
Return/Sell the SSD and buy a 7,200 RPM hard drive instead, it should work fine and a more of a match for your older machine.
Your Mac doesn't have the faster SATA connections for a SSD also 10.6 isn't equipped for SSD's only hard drives, your basically putting a Ferrari engine in a Yugo, it can't handle it.
The 7,200 RPM drive will give you the performance and more drive space than a SSD anyway.
Follow these instructions when you erase and install 10.6, it will give the best results.

What is the Exact and certain way for installing Windows's 8.1 on MacBook Pro retina mid 2014?

There are lots of different comments about installing windows 8.1 on Mbp 2014 via bootcamp when you surf the web.but I want the certain way for doing that without any doubts . If anyone has done this installation successfully please give me a step by step guid. Thanks

Please see Boot Camp 5.1: Frequently asked questions about installing Windows 8 - Apple Support and How to install Windows using Boot Camp - Apple Support.

Used Bootcamp to install Windows 7. Now, my macbook pro 13 mid 2009 will not boot back into OSX, there is no Bootcamp utilities like there should be anywhere to be found, and the DVD drive will not recognize the OSX install disk that came with my laptop.

Basically all in the title. Also, some additional info: partition was 115 GBs for Windows, 385 or whatever for OSX (I have a 500 GB Harddrive), I have tried restarting multiple times, and the drive will recognize the DVD, but almost as if the DVD is blank, as it asks me to format it or drag files to it, etc.

Hold your "Option" key down while starting your machine. Continue to hold it down until you are presented with the boot menu which should allow you to select either OS X or Windows (provided you didn't somehow wipe your OS X partition). When you get into OS X, you can go to System Preferences / Startup Disk. Here you can select the default startup partition (OS X or Windows)... when you're installing Windows via BootCamp, it gets changed to Windows so when you finish setting up BootCamp, it automatically reboots and launches the Windows installer. Installing all of the Windows drivers from the OS X DVD should provide you with a Startup Disk option under Windows as well.

Macbook Pro Retina mid 2012 low fps in bootcamp

Hello,
My English is not so good, so sorry if it's not correct, but I hope anyone could help me.
I have a Macbook Pro Retina mid 2012, 2,3 GHz Intel Core i7, 8 GB ram, 250 GB SSD.
My problem is when I go to bootcamp for gaming I get realy low fps. The most games start at 30 fps, but then they drop immediately to 8/9 fps and a second later back to 30 fps.
It's like a car, when you drive to hard you have to slow down, but then you drive to slow so you need to go faster. He speed up and a second or 2 later he kicks on the brakes and a moment later he speed up again and kicks again on the brakes.
Even with al the game setting on realy low and the lowest resolution. And that al the time in every game. My bootcamp is Windows 8 but in Windows 7 did I have the same problem. I did already a SMC reset and Pram reset and 5 clean installs. But nothing works. I installed al the updates in OS X en in Windows. There al alrealy some forums about this problem, but by them was a SMC reset enough. Maybe something is wrong with my Nvidia grapihc card. The problems starts everytime when the Nvidia card need to do this work.
it's quite an annoying problem, it's not a cheap laptop, but my old laptop ( 2 years old ) are the gaming performs better compared to this one. I think the problems start after this SMC update http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1559?viewlocale=en_US but I'm not quite sure.
Are there more people with this problem, please let me know. And maybe how you solve it.
I hope realy if any one could help me.
If you know a anser, please give it in a comment
Thanks,
Gerwin Tiemens

Hello gerwintiemens,
I recommend resetting your SMC and your PRAM. Perhaps even a safeboot as well.

Install Windows 7 Pro 64bit on MacBook Pro 15" Mid 2014

Trying to install Window 7 Pro on my new MacBook Pro 15" Mid 2014. I went through the following:
Attempt 1: Downloading the latest bootcamp support drivers, copied on flash drive and used BCA for partitioning. Booting from Ext. DVD with USB pin drive containing the drivers inserted
Attempt 2: Using ISO to create a bootable USB pin drive with bootcamp support drivers on the same..
Both attempts ended being unable to pass Windows 7 language selection screen. Mouse/Trackpad/Keyboard are not working.
Windows 8.1 pro works fine, but I'm not very happy with it..
Any advice?

The primary challenge is due to absence of proper drivers on the W7 installer to support the USB ports. One thing to check is if the USB is a USB2 or USB3. USB3 pen drives will not work.
You should also try Attempt 2 using all available USB ports available, one at a time. Disconnect any other peripherals other than KM and USB before you start installation. BT devices are not very stable when used.
If you can see any files in the Bootcamp volume from the OSX side, look for installer logs for details.
