• Can I remove the 10.6 and bootcamp or windows still work with previous 10.11 installation?

  I have an early 2009 mac mini, 10.6 installed bootcamp at the same time on the hard drive. Have windows 7 installed on bootcamp.

  Recently, I removed the CD - RW drive and put in an SSD. I then installed 10.11 on this drive and use it as the startup of the operating system. I noticed that I can run applications that has been installed to 10.6, Autocad 2013 being a.

  What I would do is make hard drive on the old hard drive space by removing the 10.6. I can do this without destroying the current installation of bootcamp and windows 7 install?

  Due to the limited space on the SSD drive, after removing 10.6 I want to update my old applications and install less 10.11 but actually during the installation, install the actual application on the old hard drive files. Of course I know that it works, as stated above and previous experience.

  Fundamental question needs to be able to always use bootcamp and windows 7 install I have now, even after the removal of 10.6. Is this possible?

  Once Windows is installed (W7 in your case), it is autonomous. But it is very sensitive to partitioning of the changes/resizing efforts.

  If you want to keep the old Applications (10.6) intact and on the old disk, but use the 10.11 on the SSD, the only space you get in return is at the heart of 10.6 OS. It is usually 16 to 32GB.

  If you have verified that each of your applications is fully functional under 10.11, backup Applications on an external drive and erase only 10.6 partition. Create a reader of 'Fusion' between the SSD and the old HARD drive 10.6 and then drag Applications from the external drive in the Fusion drive application. It will also give you performance SSD for your Applications, rather than leave it on the HARD drive part that will slow them down.

• Mac startup showing Mac and Windows without windows in Bootcamp installed

  Hello

  I currently have a Mid-2009 MBP under Snow Leopard.

  In the past, I used Bootcamp for Windows 7 (then at 10 horrible) and had no problems.

  Annoyed, shattered Windows 10, returned to Windows 7. Made backup using the backup utility Windows on/dev/disk1 /.

  Had problems with El Capitan and wiped out all/dev/disk0 /.

  According to the screenshot below, when I start my computer displays the boot Mac and Windows options.

  I narrowed down it to caused by/dev/disk1 /, but there no other Windows operating system or backup are there.

  Is it possible that this is due to the partition on/dev/disk1/and EFI is possible to remove this fact and the option to start Windows without annihilating the entire HARD drive?

  

  

  EDIT: I know what may be in the wrong sub, please feel free to move if necessary.

  * Original title: Windows 7 - CD to USB

• Activation of Windows 7 with bootcamp and virtualbox problem

  How to correctly activate my Windows 7 Professional works on two different configurations. With Bootcamp and Virtual Box? This used to work great until an update does not allow me more. I have it setup where I can boot into parrel with my mac or by itself with bootcamp.

  Any ideas? Thank you

  You must have separate licenses for two instances of Windows 7 Professional. Both facilities are considered to be different computers. The VM (VirtualBox) and BootCamp are regarded as separate computers.

• Bootcamp partition Windows will not start since WinUpdate

  I'm working on a MacMini (mid 2011) on which a bootcamp partition has been installed. I had to work on windows update etc...

  So I did update from our wsus server, and then restart Windows, windows no longer starts. There was a line of white underscore flashing on a black screen.

  I tried to see if the Mac partition (10.7) was able to start. It has been altered too, but I was able to reinstall it.

  __

  on windows, I followed these instructions: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4936761?tstart=0

  To do this, I created a USB bootable key WIN10 (regardless of the Version of the OS in this case), I started on it to access the repair menu. Here, I opened the CMD and had results of the thesis:

  
  x:\sources>cd c:\ 
  
  x:\sources>Bootrec.exe /Fixmbr 
  
  Operation succeed 
  
  x:\sources>Bootrec.exe /FixBoot 
  
  Operation succeed 
  
  x:\sources>Bootrec.exe /RebuildBcd 
  
  Number of windows installation identified : 1 Add the installation to boot list ? : O 
  
  Asked System Device not found. 
  

  I assumed it was due to drivers for windows compatibility. (something like record of $ $WinPEDriver), but no idea how to put them on my bootcamp partition, previously never worked with bootcamp.

  I should also mention, I tried a classic Windows repair, he told me that my windows partition has been locked. I assumed it was a problem of version of bootcamp. I've updated everything on my mac partition, but he found no update for bootcamp. Right now I'm preparing a bootable usb key with both 'iso' and 'windows compatibility modules' activated with bootcamp assistant.

  I don't know when it happens, but now, when I try to boot on my bootcamp partition, there are only blackscreen (not slider more). But also, my screen flashes as if he finally gets the signal just before the black screen.

  I need your help for:

  -Fixed problem starting Windows partition, OR...

  -Give me a way to get the activation key for the license of the installed windows (without starting it (if it exists)), so I can reinstall it correctly.

  Thanks for the kind help and forgive my bad English.

• No keyboard, no blocked on Windows 8 and Windows 8 boot disk does not start

  I have a 15 inch Macbook Pro mid 2013 (I think, I can check if it helps). There are 2 days that the SPACEBAR on my keyboard broke. I hear there as soon as I turn on my laptop it is still active as if I am pressing on it and as soon as I get to type anything, by pressing any other key on the keyboard, the EEG SPACEBAR take off and won't work at all. From what I could tell, it's an electrical problem with the contacts on the keyboard and after going a TI repair shop, they said that the only solution is to change the keyboard altogether. In the meantime, I bought a USB keyboard.

  I am also under Windows 8 in Bootcamp and I left it usually automatically connect to OS X and I just use the Alt key at startup when I go into Windows. However I have noticed that since the space bar is stuck and active at startup, I can no longer press Alt to change Windows, I decided to change the automatic boot from OS X to Windows disk and restart thinking I could just repeat the process when I am done going back to OS X. But for some reason unknown, Windows 8 will not start, just of takes me to the windows icon and freezes. Sometimes a message saying "Prepare the automatic repair" will appear under the icon of windows, but it is still frozen. Now I'm stuck in this boot sequence and I can't switch back to OS X since the Alt key will not work.

  Now my questions are: is there a way to switch partitions in the boot without a keyboard? Or is there a way to cut completely from the Mac keyboard and use the USB, one instead? Or even a way to break the contact of the space completely bar so stop because I change the keyboard completely in any case and it would be just a temporary solution? Thanks for any info!

  If the battery on your Mac has inflated because of charge cycles, it can push against the keyboard, causing its functioning. Have you checked the battery to abnormal expansion?

• How to share a partition between El Capitan and Windows 7

  Hi all

  You are looking for assistance.

  I'm relatively new to Mac OS and you want to configure a MacBook with El Capitan and Windows 7, with or without boot camp. I have a 1 TB SSD hard drive, where I want to divide it into 3 partitions with the following:

  200 GB Mac OS partition

  Score of 200 GB Windows 7 OS

  600 GB shared partition accessible between the 2 operating systems.

  Whenever I have set the shared FAT32 partition it would either mess boot camp install Win7 or boot camp Win7 will not install unless the FAT32 partition is removed. I even installed Win7 without boot camp and the shared partition is safe on Mac OS, but not accessible in Windows.

  Hope that all makes sense. Help will be very appreciated.

  Thank you in advance.

  1. in what year is your MBP?

  2. you can

  a. either manually partition and create the partitions you need, if you need to use Bootcamp, or

  b. install W7 as virtual machine and VM engines will allow you sharing (reading / writing) between the two file systems.

  3. There are many variations to two models of same. W7 and year of Mac are the main limiting factors for your disk formatting.

• MPB early 2011 and Windows 10 perfect work!

  Dear all,

  I would like to inform you all that I own a MBP E2011 and Windows 10 running with no problems. I have my MBP for 2011 and start with a Boot Camp Partition with Windows 7... After a few years, it has been improved to 8.1 and even 10 windows worked. Recently, my HARD drive has been damaged and it seemed that it was impossible to reinstall Windwos 10.

  Over the years, I have replaced a malfunctioning optical drive with a hard drive, and very recently I bought a second SSD and installed Windows 10 as a second operating system (SSD1: El Capitan;) SSD2: Windows 10).

  It took me almost 1 week solving together unnecessary complex method, because I met a number of errors by setting up a Bootcamp partition that is appropriate;

  -due to the missing optical drive, bootcamp should be changed to allow you to boot from USB. (I needed to do this because I used a bootable USB key, but if you have the work of optical drive, you can

  The original Bootcamp in El Capitan is unable to create a partition on the disk (Windows cannot be installed due to the wrong table formatting of disk and partition. Windows 10 requires of TPG, and it is not performed correctly. After fixing the price at the end of the windows 10 installation, an error has occurred: Windows cannot change the boot configuration "I tried referred questions on the forums and nothing worked.»

  -

  So I would like to share my solution to avoid that your productivity is affected in the same way as mine...

  -Download the original Win10.iso

  -Download the drivers from bootcamp support (I used the boot camp for this wizard, you need this because the wifi does not work after bootin in windows, the first time).

  I forgot all of the Bootcamp Assistant program. I put my new SSD in a computer windows laptop, downloaded WIndows 10 ISO original key and activation. I made a bootable USB key which is containing an EFI bootloader. I installed Windows on the SSD and after 10 (before making any personal changes in the installation of Windows 10 I turned off the laptop and put the SSD in my MBP.)

  -J' I started directly in Windows and finalized the installation and settings of Windows

  -J' installed the bootcamp drivers (the only driver who did not was the audio drivers realtek; via the Task Manager, you can close it and the rest of the drivers will be installed correctly.) (audio working properly).

  -After, I activated my Windows 10

  -Everything works perfectly... keyboard, brightness... and put into operation in about 8 seconds...

  So... to avoid a lot of problems with the new Windows on your Mac. .. Instead, above. I took me more then 35 hours to install everything the official way and to be honest, I can't really fond way that this process has become so terrible complicated...

  Good luck with the creation of your 'Boot Camp'

• Install CS5 on Mac and Windows

  Hi all

  I have an Adobe CS5 Design Premium I use for 2 years now. Recently, I switched to a Macbook Pro with Bootcamp, which allows me to dual-boot Windows. My CS5 license allows me to double-installation on BOTH Mac and Windows on the same computer laptop operating systems (technically, I don't want to install on separate computers). If Yes, how should I do so? It seems that my installation DVD for Windows only.

  Appreciate clarification. Thank you.

• We can establish a common partition for Mac OS and Windows Boot Camp

  I'm new to Mac, so please excuse my ignorance.

  I have a MacBookPro 11 mid-2015 with 512 GB SSD and 16 GB of RAM.

  I have Mac OS X El Capitan and that you have installed 10 Windows using the Boot Camp utility on a 150 GB partition. I wanted a common partition on exFAT which could serve as a repository for my data either of the OS. My intention - 150 GB for Mac OS - 200 GB of data - 150 GB for Windows 10. How can this be achieved?

  Earlier, after the Boot Camp, I reduced the Mac OS to 350 GB partition to 150 GB and released 200 GB. Formatting this turned me expensive because it stopped my Windows to start. Repair it was a waste of time and effort. I draw the hard Windows on a Mac is sensitive to changes in the partition.

  In addition, is using Virtual Box better than Boot Camp? I don't have as much virtualized environments.

  Please advice.

  You can connect an external drive of ExFat formatted. The OSX and Windows can read/write on a disk formatted ExFat.

  A virtual machine has its advantages, as does a Boot Camp facility. A virtual machine allows the simultaneous OS, any necessary initialization to change operating systems. Data can be shared between operating systems more easily. Computer such as memory resources are shared in a VM for applications environment to run slower.

  Installation of Boot Camp allows Windows to run in native mode by using all of the system resources, so apps will go faster. But to change operating systems, a reboot is required. It is more difficult to share data.

• synchronization between the iphone and windows 7

  Can I synchronize excel and word between iphone and windows 7?  How?  CAN I get excel and word or compatible programs (aps) on iphone?  Also - I have an old version of MS Outlook (2002, 10.6 V, SP3) I want to be able to sync with the calendar on the iphone.  What can I and how?

  Also - I do not trust "the cloud."  How can I synchronize and transfer stuff between the iphone and my computer (win 7) without putting them on the cloud?

  Don't have an iphone yet, this will be my first smart phone.  Being able to use the above programs and stay out of the cloud are my priorities.

  Yes, you can sync if you store your documents in the cloud, but you do not trust so the answer is, you cannot them synchronize the.

• Hanging of Thunderbird 38, gel and does not question. 17 accounts pop (Win 8.1, MalwareBytes and Windows Defender)

  Since the update of Thunderbird to 38.* I had nothing but problems with Thunderbird wedging (spinning wheel waiting), a "Mozilla Thunderbird (not answer) ' in the header bar, whiting of window application out and possibly TB box in hell - a small box to appear asking if I want to - close the program, expected so he can resolve itself , or check the internet, then close. I now give the floor it the box to hell (B2H - call it all you want, but I'm cursed every time he pop up!)

  I did everything proposed here and nothing suits. I have used Thunderbird for years with all the same files and Add ons WITHOUT problem. On the first day of the 38 update everything has changed. When Mozilla realizes that it is in the upgrade and find the problem!

  Here is what I tried with nothing working...
  1. I don't have AVG, the only malware bytes and windows defender
  2. it still happens in SafeMode with no active add-on.
  3. I stopped saving function which slows down the frequency of the sinking, but did not eliminate the problem.
  4. I have deleted hundreds of older emails, thinking it was that but who have done nothing.
  5. I changed some accounts of POP at the thought of iMAP that was the problem but nothing has changed.
  6. I made several attempts to patch both Mozilla support and outdoors on the net. Nothing works. Looking at all the people who have the same problems, I have to say that the problem is handling of file. I noticed that as the issue with others who have multi files and emails. The answer is not to reduce these volumes but to understand why thunderbird managed their fine before and what has changed to make the program hang now? Who should be on your end, taken responsibility. Keep us faithful and solve the problem...

  Here are my tips...

  A. I have several files and thousands of e-mails longer and have manged fines, as matter of fact, Thunderbird has been great. Then like a good stooge I approved the moz and did my upgrade to 38. Never had a problem before the upgrade. After the upgrade, everything went to *.

  B. the 38 version upgrade was a big change. When I look in the folder that has been labeled the envoys or Inbox folder (where all emails from each account is collected), all the emails listed would disappear when I moved my mouse over them! Emails disappearing! They were there in records specific e-mail below but not but in the case of head as if it were just a day earlier and with the upgrade. I thought that as an addition on the question and waited for the difficulty that happened not so long ago. Again, which could be a problem of record add-on.

  C. the upgrade to 38 were other issues, but if the madness going no problem was not bad enough, the problem seems to be growing with each ' update or bugfix that followed. Don't hold me to it but I think it was in 38.1.2 or 8 (I think that's it. I wasn't paying attention, but if I had known that I would have to tell it, I will!) That's when hanging interminably long. When the program closed at least I got a project saved, then I read on line that the problem was the registration of open messages, I turned the auto reduction. He did change the frequency of the hanging (white screen pause) and timing (where the B2H appears), but he was always there and always!

  D. I had hoped with 38.2 there will be improvements. Nothing has changed. I didn't know that 38.3 would make this change/fix, but it's not. If I write all this, so you have what I know as a loyal user since 2007.

  E. here is what you need to complete the picture. I'm on a PC running 8.1. on an Intel i7-4770, with 32 GB of ram, now you tell me when you will issue the update to fix the problem! Once again, Mozilla, I suggest you start by looking at how TB 38 manages several emails, files and archives. Not all of us have only one e-mail account. Most of us have been really happy with TB before 38. If you can't find the question, can you show us how to get back to a version prior to 38?

  Thanks for listening and hope that helps!
