• Reinstallation of Windows XP Home Edition (new hard drive) does not start properly, please help

  I have a HP Pavilion zd7000 that bad on the hard drive. I bought another and used the reinstallation disc to reinstall Windows Home Edition.  Everything seemed to go well, but it starts now to a HP Invent logo black screen that says press F10 to go together to the top and F12 at startup of Lan.  Then, a second black screen appears that says press F1 to resume or F10 Setup.  I press F1 and Windows loads very well.  What can I do to have Windows load immediately without going through this?  Any help will be greatly appreciated!  Thank you much in advance!

• El Capitan and Windows 10 Boot Camp Assistant

  Hi, this is my first post so apologies if I've left out anything important. Let me know and I'll add the necessary details.

  Fast, I have been using Windows for years and I wanted to get into Apple and finally last month made the leap. I have a brand new MacBook Pro with 16 GB of RAM El Capitan - 10.11.4 running. However, I am having a lot of problems with the creation and installation of 10 Windows using Boot Camp.

  I had this work with Windows 10 times but made some fundamental mistakes. I resized the partition windows using a windows product so that I could add another partition. This seemed to work and I used it for a short time BUT when I tried to boot into El Capitan would not and that it would only boot Windows. After reading on what I see now that resize the windows from windows under Boot Camp partition is a no-no. lesson learned!

  To actually do things once again, I removed the windows partitions using disk utility. (Again I see now that it is an another no-no that I'd
  used Boot Camp Assistant to remove Windows!) Eventually however, I managed to get to El Capitan, working on the single partition, it is now again works fine and as far as I can tell without any problem.

  After having to go that if I went back to load 10 Windows using Boot Camp. All works until the final start in the section windows it:

  • Creates the separate windows partition
  • Load the ISO file
  • The Windows Support Tools downloads
  • Runs the ISO file and everything looks good... see below: (apologies for the poor quality of the screenshots)

  

  Then, during 'Finish Up', I get an error window:

  

  "Windows has no prepare the computer to start the next phase of the installation." To install Windows restart installation. »

  I tried many things such as to download the Windows ISO file again, running SNC and LANDAU after removing the Windows partition using Boot Camp Assistant and ensure that all other connections to the MBP is deleted except WiFi and get always the same message. As the whole process takes a few hours and tried to work through this for some days now, I would really appreciate some advice/help here for this issue very frustrating sorted.

  Thanks in advance

  OSX backup via TM boot in the recovery of the Internet, erase your entire internal drive, restore the TM backup, run SMC/NVRAM reset and try to re - install W10.

  Your problem with remainders of W10 floating outside the Bootcamp partition, which cannot be properly cleaned when THE is used to delete a partition.

• 19 Windows in boot camp with el capitan

  I tried to install 10 windows using boot camp and not have a bit of luck to succeed. I got the partition in boot camp, got an iso 10 load on a flash key windows, got windows to install and accept the key. When he asks to load the drivers up and say that there is no drivers are found. I went through everything, including windows dvd in the external drive. Where can I find the drivers in order to move forward and complete the installation?

  Thank you

  Peter

  1. in what year/model is your Mac?

  2. If the BCA is used to create the installer from USB, it automatically includes the proper drivers.

  Can I install Parallels after installation of Windows using Boot Camp?

  You can install Parallels, but you will not be able to transfer your license existing if its already active in Boot Camp. You first need to remove the Boot Camp, then you can transfer it to Parallels. You may need to reactivate by phone:

• Creating cloud apps on Windows (using Boot Camp on a Macbook) has stopped working

  So here's the situation:

  I've been subscribing to creative cloud (CC) for a few years now and I have the 'apps' installed on Windows (using Boot Camp on my Macbook Pro). Why is it I am running Windows on a Mac? Because for various reasons I ;-)

  A few months ago, I cancelled the subscription but decided to begin to subscribe again. That's when the problems started. Premiere Pro (which is the program I use most often) started to ask forlicensi ng/registration and registration from cc. whenever I started PP I to connect to CC with the result "Thank you for licensing/save...". "or something like that. The other day, I was in a meeting with a client to review changes in a project of PP and suddenly it does not help to to connect to CC. I am stuck in a loop where it says "thank you for the record...". "and then nothing happens. When I click on PP I sign again and so on...

  I called Adobe support and when I told them I'm using Boot Camp on a Mac the first guy said ' it is not supposed to work on Boot Camp or virtual machines and if it works it is probably due to a bug in the software '.

  
  

  I google a bit on this subject and can't find anything about supposed to CC to work with Boot Camp. When I was persistent and told them that they really help me because I'm in a hurry and that the customer is frustrated he actually hung. I called support again and this operator says 'We have no instructions on how to help users with problems in Boot Camp'.

  I tried PP uninstall and reinstall, but still get stuck in the Sign-in-loop. Could this something in the registry that I need to change or remove?

  I installed PP on my Mac OS without any problem. The thing is that I guess I can't open old projects created on the installation of Windows of PP.

  Any help on this would be much apprechiated.

  / Thomas

  Looks like the Support of Adobe has solved the problem. I called the third time and this operator is out of the box.

  I had to delete some folders (PCB Adobe, Cache SL, SL Store), and then start any application as administrator (Windows) and log in.

  Sweet!

• Master Collection CS3 (version of disk for Windows) installation on a laptop without optical drive

  Is Master Collection CS3 installation (disk for Windows version) - possible to install my CS3 - MC legitimately purchased on a new laptop without optical drive? Maybe through a download link or tranfering Adobe all files from my old to my new computer do as well? Or do I necessarily have to buy an external optical drive? Thank you for responding.

  No need to purchase an optical drive and do not try to transfer, this rarely works.

• What windows and Boot Camp for MBP 13 end 2011

  I have a MBP 13 end 2011. I want to install Windows 8.1 to launch my CAD software. I use Boot Camp Assistant 6. I run on OS X and have 4 GB of ram. Is this ok or are there other options recommended?

  Models 13 inches have the GPU from Intel. Your Mac has an Intel HD3K. Older versions of the software may perform better, but more recent versions can be slower on older hardware. What is the possibility of using a dual-GPU MBP? The more RAM, the better it is.

• 8.1 Windows via Boot Camp on El Capitan, iMac mid 2011

  I am desperately trying for a while now to do an installation of bootcamp Windows 8.1 on my iMac 2011 mid 21.5 ' with El Capitan.

  Many solutions exist for the older iMac like mine, but nothing seems to work for me. I have already applied the BCA 'hack' to edit the info.plist to make the option to generate a setup available disk, I also tried the 'old fashioned' way of installing via burn the iso image to a dvd.

  I already tried several USB sticks (8 and 32 GB).

  The result is always the same: "no boot device found; "Insert one and press any".

  If theres no suggestion on how to get windows on my Mac, I would be really happy. I don't mind which way, as mentioned previously, I still have an internal optical drive.

  Concerning

  You cannot use a USB on Mac 2011 Installer. A physical DVD will work. If the Microsoft ISO is not burned properly, it will not start.

  Please describe the method that you used to create the DVD ISO.

• Upgrade memory to the end of 2011 MBP

  Please can someone advise what is the maximum memory possible for a MBP (late 2011 model) 17IN.  Thank you

  If Apple says that 8 GB of RAM, RAM manufacturers have found THST 16 GB of RAM will be accepted.  My two Mbit/s by the end of 2011 have 16 GB of RAM installed and works perfectly.  The best sources of RAM compatible Macs are OWC and Crucial.

  Ciao.

• MacBook Air (early 2014) El Capitan impossible to install Windows using Boot Camp Assistant 10

  The ISO image has been downloaded from Microsoft.

  I was using a 8 GB USB (although not a brand new, but erased and formatted by disk utility).

  When the State of the task of the Assistant Boot Camp completed "Windows Backup Software Support", Mac restarted.

  As we see from the videos of YouTube, the Mac should start in a configuration of Windows but my screen as usual!

  Still, he resumed the partition (in my case 40GB) but it is empty!

  Can even suggest what is the problem here?

  

  You can try a different USB2 flash drive? What brand is the current USB?

• El Capitan grateful suddenly don't no optical drive

  I have a MacBook Air running El Capitan, purchased 3/2016. I bought the optical drive when I bought the computer. I used the external drive to burn DVDs and CDs. Everything worked fine until I plugged the optical drive yesterday. I opened iTunes, plugged the disc inserted a cd and the window showing that I inserted the cd never popped up. The finder does not display the drive, even though I checked in preferences to show him. The only way I could safely remove the cd was going to disk utility where I could see the disc and the cd and eject it.

  I checked to make sure that the drive still works by inserting a DVD or CD in the optical drive. The two will play correctly, but I still have to go back into the disk utility to eject because the drive does not appear anywhere else.

  With iTunes running and the drive plugged with a blank CD inserted, the "playlist to burn to the disc" is grayed out, because the computer is not recognizing the drive.

  What can I do to get the computer/El Capitan to recognize the drive again?

  Reporting system shows the optical drive? Try the commands from the Terminal after the connection of an optical drive...

• Windows 7 Boot Camp and the MacBook Pro clocks sync error

  I have a dual boot MBPro (13-inch, mid-2012, non-retine) running El Capitan.

  I installed Windows 7 32-bit, using Boot Camp, and everything works fine except there is a problem with the time.

  Whenever I passes from Mac OS to Windows 7 & vice versa the time is displayed incorrectly.

  not connected to the internet.

  While I'm online things are fine clocks updated subsequently.

  Ago a separate 05:30 hour on both partitions difference.

  I was looking at the internet, seeking to solve this problem and suggested this solution:

  Launch regedit.exe.
  Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation.
  Right-click anywhere in the right pane & hit NEW > DWORD (32 bit) value.

  Name RealTimeIsUniversal, and then double-click top & him give a value of 1.

  Then, reboot to OS X and reboot in Windows. Now, this will result in a correct display of the time.

  I'm not used to these changes, so before the well proceeding to be sure if this is a permanent, secure

  solution OR is there something else that needs to be done?

  Thank you!

  Hi Sandeep,

  Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.

  Some of our community members reported that the solution you have included in your application got similar clock synchronization issues.

  As a registry edit is a sensible step but you can try and check, but before that, you can take a backup of your registry.

  To do: Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.
