Windows On Mac :: Vista Installation On Newly Installed Drive - Need Step By Step Guide
May 23, 2009
I am about to install a new (blank) hard drive to my existing 2009 Mac Pro. The Drive will then be used solely for windows (won't be a partition, but a stand alone drive, separate from my other drives which are Raid).
On the apple web site, it says that the OSX software installed will provide drivers etc. Does that mean that I should:
1) connect the drive
2) format the drive under OSX
3) run the bootcamp assist...

Is there a step by step guide somewhere to show how I can put a 2nd drive which would be a small SSD drive to boot only for bootcamp and OSX?

Been using a macbook with time machine on an external hard drive for about a year and have finally bit the bullet and bought an iMac with time capsule for home as well. My job involved moving around quite a bit, but in terms of backup I was wondering if it was possible to use time machine on my portable hard drive for backups when I'm away from home, and then when I get back home for a while to create a master backup on my time capsule.

I've been using Apple Mail with POP Gmail for a few years now with problems. Generally I ignore the Gmail side of things and only ever access through Mail at home, and also use a Blackberry to send and receive emails.
At the moment Gmail pushes mail to my Blackberry and also holds it in the Inbox at Gmail until my Apple Mail app on my iMac downloads it, whereupon it's all moved to All at Gmail. This works fine, but is a problem when I use Mail on my Powerbook - once it downloads the new mail, Gmail moves it to All mail and when I get home and fire up my iMac's Mail, those emails won't appear there. Annoying. So, I need to go IMAP.
My problem is that as I have never bothered with tagging or sorting things on the Gmail side of things, and have done all my ordering through Apple Mail with custom folders and rules, I get the impression all that work goes out the window and I have to start over in terms of organising again, and that in fact any rules I want to set that I want to be duplicated across devices have to be done on the Gmail webpage. Is there any way whatsoever of somehow exporting my Apple Mail rules over to Gmail so that when I change to IMAP it somehow keeps things as they are as best as possible?

I am in the process of buying a hard drive for a PowerMac G4 that i just purchased. The computer doesn't have a DVD drive, just a CD. I have a copy of Tiger that could be installed but I would need a DVD drive. Would I be better off buying a cheap copy of Panther online somewhere and just using that, or buying a DVD drive and installing Tiger? Or finding another way to install one or the other on my Mac?

I upgraded my Power Mac G4 from OSX 10.2 to 10.3. Got 3 install discs. The puter asked for the 2nd disc but completed the install without asking for the final disc. Its working fine.
Not sure whether the 3rd disc is significant or whether I should leave sleeping dogs lie.

I recently was given an 15 inch iMac G4 with 256 MB RAM and 800 MHz processor and was running OS X 10.3.9. I upgraded the RAM to 512 MB and installed Leopard using a firewire connection with my MacBook. I can boot from the MacBook Leopard but the iMac will not boot or seem to find the Hard Drive. I can see the Hard Drive on my MacBook with Leopard installed on it. All I get on my iMac is a "finder" with a question mark.

I've got a desk that has a 16 + 7/8" tall space for a computer (that's 42.75 cm for the rest of the world). I want to fit a mac pro in there.
A couple of people have done it, but there are really no step-by-step guides, or detailed pictures.
See here and here.

He has a rather large photo collection on his PC, and he has everything in precise Folders as far as Named Folders and even Named Folders within Folders.
Does anyone know of a way to maintain the folder names and keep the folder relationships he currently has?
My first attempt was to import his whole library, but iPhoto did not do a good job of keeping form. What it yielded was a massive amount of "events" but still did not Ring true to his folder namings.

well i updated to snow leopard a while back when it first came out. i've been reading that rosetta was a default for Leopard..but is now an optional install for snow leopard..
but every time i try to install microsoft office 2008 and Photoshop, the installers prompt me to install rosetta. i know that office 08' is a universal, but the installer is PPC..
i understand that its only 2.0MB to install rosetta..but will it slow my computer down or anything? can i remove it after i install it.. it was obviously not made a default for SL for a reason. and last thing, will it convert anything that runs universal to PPC when ever i open it?

To start off, when I got my new macbook pro I transferred my information from my old macbook, but there was 2 accounts. One was mine, and the other was the administrator account my school put on there which i didn't move over.
When I finished i found out that I could not do anything since I did not have permission. After many hours talking to apple over the phone they got it working, but some things don't work entirely right, and somethings are completely broken.
I tried to fix the things individually but that didn't seem to work. So I want to restart my computer. I have an external hard-drive already that I will save all my documents and applications, but I want to know which method will make it as if I am restarting my computer for the first time.
Info:
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.3)

in 2007 I purchased my first ever mac pro 1.1 intel.2 x 2.0 GHz Dual-core Xeon "Woodcrest1GB ram (2x512)GeForce 7300 GT
and right now I'm looking into upgrading processors. somewhere in the apple discussion I find out that I should look at:Intel Clovertown Xeon processors. E5345 (2.33 Ghz), E5355 (2.66 Ghz) or X5365(3.0 Ghz). I need a pair.Those are Quad core processors and are pin for pin compatible with the 2006 Mac Pro 1,1, they say. Bloody hell they are hard to find.

I'd like some suggestions for the next step up in video cameras after the built-in iSight that came with my MacBook. The plan is to do some random video capture for a website. Not arty or necessarily Hi Res, just a good basic camera that can 1) be mounted on a tripod or stand and 2) is relatively inexpensive.

When you see the low battery warning, save your work and close all applications. Keep your computer turned on until it goes to sleep.
After your computer goes to sleep, turn it off or allow it to sleep for five hours or longer.
Connect the power adapter and leave it connected until the battery is fully charged.

I am looking into getting a SSD but i am unsure if I want the same space as my 500GB hard drive. I am currently using only 35GB of space. I am thinking about only getting the 25GB instead of the 512GB and save about $200. I do have an external 1TB hard drive attached to my AEB to use as "cloud" when i am away from home. anyone skip on the same size or did they step down to the 256GB SSD insted? I also have a 16GB Flash drive and an iPad if that matters.

MacBook Pro (13-inch Late 2011), Mac OS X (10.7.4)

So I just installed windows 7 x64 (bootcamp) on my iMac 27" mid 2010.
It seems to be taking up 11 GB more than there really is on the partition.
Partition size: 33 GB
Used space: 22 GB (in reality 11 GB)
Free space: 11 GB (in reality 22 GB)
I know for a fact that a newly installed windows 7 is not this huge.
Also I selected all the folders and checked the size and it simply doesn't match what the Drive Properties tells me.

I own a MBP June 2009. I'm about to calibrate the batt.
After you let it sleep for 5 hours... you have to charge it up to full...
Can I turn it on and use it while it's charging up? or should I leave it on sleep?

I've been trying to burn a video from my Canon camcorder using iDVD and it keeps telling me that nothing is being captured. It seems like it should be such an easy process, but it is not working for me. I have imported the video to iMovie but cannot figure out how to burn a dvd from that application either.
