Applications :: Bootcamp Partitions Hardware - RAM Reduced To 2GB Rather 4GB?

Apr 14, 2010

I know this sounds silly and I'm fairly confident that it's false, but a friend of mine told me Bootcamp partitions your hardware specs. In other words your RAM is reduced to 2GBs rather than 4GB and your video card is split from 512MB to 256MB, etc. I really think he's confusing this with VMware Fusion or possibly Parallels but I wanted to make sure that I wasn't too stupid to think he's right.

OS X :: Getting Bootcamp Working With 4 Partitions

Jun 11, 2009

My machine:
- MacBook Pro (Pre-Unibody)
- 2.4 Ghz Intel C2D
- 4 GB RAM 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM
- 320 GB Seagate HD

I am trying to partition my hard drive into 4 partitions. However, I can't get Windows working with more than 2 partitions. I know that there is some way to get this to work, I just haven't been able to find the necessary hack/guide. To make matters more complicated, my Windows partition is set over 32 GB, in fact, it is about 80 GB. I'm willing to completely re-install everything and completely repartition my hard drive to get this to work. I just would like to know of a sure fire step by step way to get this setup working. 3 Partitions HFS+ and 1 partition for Windows XP SP3 = 4 partitions.

IMac :: Want To Ceate Bootcamp Partitions?

Mar 26, 2009

I tried to do a search with no luck perhaps it's because i didn't use the right keywords.

I m running my iMac with bootcamp Vista, now i created the partition with bc for windows. I am thinking about creating more partitions within the windows drive. Is it as simple as installing partition magic? or are there other features within the mac that can create the partitions for me.

Windows On Mac :: Bootcamp Basics - Partitions And Parallels?

Sep 7, 2010

I want to be able to boot into both osx and win 7 and i'd also like to be able to run win7 apps from within osx. Do I need to do a boot camp installation (for dual boot), and a parrallels/fusion install (to run apps within osx) to achieve this or will one method allow me to do both? I want to create a 200gb partition for windows and want to be able to see windows files from osx.

MacBook Pro :: Bootcamp And Parallels - Recommended Partitions?

Oct 19, 2010

Im thinking of buying a mac, i've always used a windows pc though. Im gonna see what happends tommorow at the mac event but I want a Mac Book Pro. i want to dualboot mac os and windows 7 using bootcamp, parrallels, and refit. I've been doing some research on it and I would like some expert opinions on recommended settings to partition the disk. should I do 50/50 split or what? I'll either get a 320 or 500gb hard drive. I also see that some people split it three ways and have a 3rd partition for shared files, such as music, documents, ect. is this recommended or is this not really needed to share files between the 2 OS's? I'll probably be using windows OS more often or atleast use parallels alot until i get the hang of mac os. I also want to be able to sync itunes on both the windows and mac os, so it doesnt madder which operating system im on if i want to listen, download or sync my ipod, is there a way to do this? And lastly, I use outlook to download my comcast email via pop3. Is there a way to sync outlook in windows and outlook for mac between the partitions? I can not find any answers to this question online. Any opinions, recommendations, or thoughts about these subjects or buying my first mac in general is welcome.

OS X :: Changing Partitions - Time Machine Will Be Reinstall If I Change My Partitions?

Mar 7, 2010

I have an iMac 2.4ghz with a 320g hd, that I partitioned 50/270 when I installed Leopard. I read somewhere to have the opp system partitioned and I have been kicking myself in the rear ever since. Too many apps and files want to run next to the opp system, so I'm starting over.I used time machine for a backup of the system (both partitions are showing) on my 1 TB iomega external hard drive (minimax). I partitioned the external 500/500, time machine/additional storage.So that is what I'm working with, now for the question:With my backup complete, if I do a clean install to the internal hard drive (320g) in order to remove the 50g opp/sys partition and just have one 320g internal hd; will my time machine be able to restore to a clean 320 without having the 50/270gig partition setup? If so will this be a somewhat simple process?

OS X :: Airport - Speed Is Reduced?

Nov 11, 2008

So, maybe it doesnt rly matters now because i got tired of this BS and im getting a power line for my mac pro. But im rly curious whats up with this new - yet another - problem that popped up with airport. Ok, so i managed to fix all the dropout problems, and after working good for a month or so, now suddently since yesterday my speed is reduced. The speedtest wont go beyond 2000kbps, while it used to be 7500+, and while ethernet does give me 7500+. The signal appears to be good, my channel is far away form the other networks... Thats a tottaly strange problem, its getting me insane that i cant figure out whats causing it

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Reduced The Screen Bit Depth?

May 8, 2012

When I was on Snow Leopard I was painting in Photoshop in 16-bit mode on my 21" Wacom Cintiq.It was a fantastic experience to finally have true control in settle changes in hues and shades all over the spectre.

Now that I've updated to Lion, the screen doesn't display true 16-bit graphics anymore, but instead there is pretty noticable banding. A sort of real-time downsampling in bit-depth going on. Even flickering on some grey hues. I'm very sad about this, and it's affecting my work.

I have a hunch Lion is harder on old graphics cards than Snow Leopard was.

Is my machine too old for displaying true 16-bit/ 32-bit graphics with Lion?

In the system info under the graphics card it says: 32-bits color (ARGB8888), but it clearly isn't the case in terms of what is sent to the display. 

MacBook Pro, late 2009, 8GB ram, 2,66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Unibody

NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT 256 MB 

What I've tried so far (without solving the problem)

Closing Macbook screen to run only one display (Cintiq) (to save graphics memory, I thought) - no change.

Trieid displaying the same 16-bit image in different apps: Photoshop, Preview, Quicklook, Pages - no change

Forced monitor into "billions of colors" using SwitchResX - no real change 

Anyone who knows more about this? 

I will now try:

- finding Cintiq driver updates

Info:
MacBook Pro

Applications :: Creating Partitions And Scratch Disk

Apr 5, 2010

I'm a serious photographer and do my post processing in Capture NX2 (2.2.4). Sometimes, especially when saving files, it drags on interminably. I have read that one way to speed up NX2 is to create a scratch disk. I'm currently upgrading my HD on my iMac G5 (Leopard) to a 1TB HD. Would it be wise (and efficient) to create a partition on the new HD and use it as a scratch disk? I understand you can't use the boot drive as a scratch disk, but if I partition will I be able toname the new partition something other than Macintosh HD, thus permitting use of a scratch disk?

OS X :: Battery Life Drastically Reduced After Snow Leopard?

Sep 6, 2009

I own an aluminum MacBook from 2008. I just installed Snow Leopard on it, and after a full charge, it says it only has three hours left. While on a full charge on Leopard - it would have five hours left.This thing ain't even a year old. I've not raped the battery with electricity. Normal use, this happened exclusively after installing Snow Leopard.This is wierd. I though Snow Leopard was supposed to be using less power, or perhaps it's oposite? Does anyone know?

Intel Mac :: Screen Resolution Reduced When Mirroring External Display

May 14, 2012

I have a 2.93 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (24" early 2009) iMac running OS 10.7.3 (Lion) to which I have connected an Apple Cinema Display as an external monitor using a Mini Display-to-DVI adapter. The iMac is set to 1920 x 1200 resolution and the Cinema Display is at 1680 x 1050, and everything looks great until I turn on mirroring. When I do this, the iMac screen loses its nice crisp screen resolution, but the Cinema Display still looks fine. Strangely, the pull down menu for displays in the menu bar still claims that the iMac is at 1920 x 1200 and the Cinema Display is at 1680 x 1050, but I don't think this is the case. Is there any way to keep the iMac at the higher resolution while mirroring?

Applications :: TF2 On Steam Mac Not On Par With Bootcamp?

Sep 26, 2010

Has anyone played Team Fortress 2 on Steam for Mac? I just installed it today on my MBP (config is in my siggy), but I'm pretty disappointed because it's obviously not as smooth and fast as in my Bootcamp.I turned most of my settings to at least Med (and some to Low), turned off Antialiasing, but kept resolution of 1440x900, yet it's still laggy/choppy esp. when there's more people involved... (it was fine in Bootcamp on even better settings).I get like 20-25 fps in OS X, which pretty much sucks

Applications :: How To Get Parallel Bootcamp

Apr 23, 2010

I just got a i7 15" mbp! I definately have to have bootcamp to run my school's testing software, but i want have parallels run the boot camp partition without me making another VM. I would hate to have double loss of space, but I also want to make sure I can use it on both sides that doesn't mess it up!

I had a mac a long time ago and i got it to read the boot camp with parallel but it then corrupted my bootcamp and I've had double images (waste of space since i am now limited to my ssd size too!!).

Does VMWare fusion 3 do this better? before i do it, i want to make sure it's bug free and does not mess up either side!

Applications :: How Can Use Mac Steam Instead Of Bootcamp?

May 10, 2010

After my experience with the Starcraft II demo I have to say I'm hesitant to use the Mac Steam and just stick with bootcamp. Because of DirectX, games just seem to run better on my Windows side. Anyone planning on scrapping Windows for the Mac Steam client? It's nice to see more games coming to Mac but they still seem crippled by OpenGL.
