• Cannot start to OSX after using boot camp

  Hey everybody

  I have a Macbook pro 13' (2015) with display of keratina, 2.7 i5, 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB Flash storage.

  The problem started when I decided to run the boot camp on the device, everything went well until the installation of boot camp on windows 10. The installer got stuck in the process, so I left it. Then I went to the OSXRESERVED partition and I found the boot camp folder but when I tried to open it to re-run the installation program, I got an error message saying that the file cannot be opened and its corrupt. Then I formatted this partition using windows (how stupid on my part). And now I can not start back to OSX.

  I tried to go to the recovery of the Internet then disk utility. I see that the partition I made for windows that is only 40 GB. And there's "virtual whole disk", which is written in red. When I click on check, he said that the drive should be repaired, when I clicked on the repair. The same warning showed once again that the disc must be repaired.

  Also I tried to restore using time machine backup, but as I mentioned it won't give me access to the other partition is the 80 GB one. Instead, it shows only the 40 GB one and its not enough storage to restore the backup with.

  Sorry I took so long and I appreciate everyone's help, thank you.

  Hi Tayar98,

  Please visit Apple support communities. Congratulations on your new MacBook Pro!

  It seems that you cannot boot to OS X or restore from a backup Time Machine after that a partition has been formatted using Windows install.

  You should maybe erase and repartition your hard drive MacBook Pro before restoring from Time Machine backup. You can use the procedure described in disk utility (El Capitan): partitioning a physical disk:

  Erase and repartition a device

  You can delete all volumes on a device and create new ones. For example, if you want to change the plan of partition of a USB key, lightning or other storage of Master Boot Record Partition GUID carte device. If you just want to delete a volume, see to delete a volume.

  WARNING: Deleting and partitioning device destroys all data on all volumes of the device.

  1. Select the device in the sidebar you want to erase and re-partition, then click the Erase button .

     Note: You cannot erase the device that contains your boot volume.

  2. Enter a name for the original volume.

  3. Click the context menu of the card, and then choose a format for the initial score.

     For MS-DOS, and ExFAT partitions, the name must be 11 characters or less.

     • Map of Partition GUID: Used for all Mac computers with Intel processor.

     • Master Boot Record: Used for partitions Windows will be formatted under MS-DOS (FAT) or ExFAT.

     • Apple Partition map: Used for compatibility with Mac computers with PowerPC processor.

  4. Click clear, and then click done.

  Best regards.

• With parallel should I still need to use boot camp to install windows 7?

  Hello

  For example if my mac pro laptop computer requires to install the Windows 7 operating system and I have a parallel software do I need to install via boot camp?

  No, Boot Camp is not necessary to install Windows 7 in Parallels. Parallels installs Windows 7 by starting in the virtual machine.

  What OSX Version do you have? This site gives the requirements of Bootcamp: minimum system requirements to install Windows on your Mac with Boot Camp - Apple Support. And you did an upgrade? Could it be that the upgrade will not correctly for the OS?

  Looking at the 10 Windows version you downloaded, is the update of birthday, which was released less than a month ago. It could be that Apple is not reconisgin the Windows version when reading the disk, because it is too recent. I don't know if you have access to the download of the previous generation and do a Windows update?

  Hello

  I have a brand new Macbook pro and I bought the OEM System Builder of 64-bit Windows 8 driver in a store. My problem is that I have not only not able to install it using Boot Camp. At the end of the installation, a message appears with the following text "Windows could not update the configuration to start the computer. Installation cannot continue.

  I'm not really a tech guy but I also tried to download virtual box and the same error comes back.

  Can someone help me please?

  Thank you!

  The thread is old now, but it is for those who always have this problem.

  When I got the error, I cancelled and restarted the machine. I pressed the 'option' button when starting upwards and he grew the boot partitions. You should see a 'EFI Boot' partition. Choose that and you restart the installation process, but this time it works.

  Supposedly the boot EFI and WinInstall partition should do the same thing. Manually, select one or the other.

• 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.

• Magic Mouse on Boot Camp 5.1 Windows 7

  I was on the last two hours of research on how to connect my Magic Mouse to Windows 7 via Boot Camp 5.1. Here is what I tried:

  By clicking the Bluetooth and the addition of the device. Biggest problem, the mouse doesn't even appear to be discovered (and yes the mouse is on and yes I turned it on after the opening of the add unit page).

  Also, I tried to manually install drivers Boot Camp 5 on Apple's site. I even tried the 3.1, which seems to work for everyone, except that since I am 5.1, it doesn't let me open the files.

  I even tried some third-party software, but no luck.

  I think that if I can get Windows 7 to recognize the device that I could install it, but it does not appear in my choices. I tested the Bluetooth Manager by seeing if he could see my iPhone, and he did. It is also safe to say that it connected fine on my OSX partition.

  Any help would be great! Thank you!

  Note: These steps assume that you have a default Apple installation of Windows and a VMware Fusion Boot Camp Virtual Machine default partition (without a snapshot *) and if you have changed the Boot Camp partition the Virtual Machine to add additional hard disks to be virtual or RAW disk then do not use these instructions unless you backup the Boot Camp partition the Virtual Machine package first.  * Note that Fusion 2.0.0 may accidentally have a snapshot with the partition Boot Camp, Virtual Machine, and it should not have then you should check to ensure that the condition does not exist as well.

  1. If the merger is open, close it.

  2. in a Terminal (/ Applications/Utilities/Terminal) copy and paste command, as the following and then press Enter and it will remove the Boot Camp Virtual Machine meta-data partition.

  3. start Fusion (/ Applications/VMware Fusion.app) and select the Boot Camp partition on the library of the Virtual Machine window, and then click the run button.

  Notes: Then, an authentication dialog box appears. "VMware Fusion requires that you type your password." Enter your name and password, and then click OK. (It is necessary to remove the Boot Camp for the merge partition to access it directly).

  Then, we should see a Boot Camp partition message stating "VMware Fusion prepares your Boot Camp partition to run as a virtual machine. This may take a few minutes. This occurs once. »
