Daniel Some testing has been done running Desktop under BootCamp and it seems to work OK, however, there may be some issues like the crash you are having. Please see http://www.esri.com/software/arcgis/arcgis-for-desktop/system-requirements which has as note stating - Please note that ArcGIS for Desktop is not certified or supported on the Mac operating system.

I'm sorry to hear about the crash. Is it possible for you to zip the data and email it to me (slynch@esri.com)? Also, please tell me what type of Areal Interpolation you are trying to perform. What happens if you use a smaller subset of the data? Thanks Steve ... View more

Please have a look at some of the Geostatistical Analyst blogs, in particular http://blogs.esri.com/esri/arcgis/2008/09/29/understanding-geostatistical-analyst-layers/ -Steve ... View more

Also, there can only be one point that falls within the cell of the input inclusion raster. I.e if your inclusion raster has a cell size of 100m, then the minimum distance between points cannot be less than 100m. Also, if the inclusion raster has 1000 cells, then the max number of points cannot exceed 1000. You could, therefore, Resample your inclusion raster. -Steve ... View more

Do you have 10.1 and do you have a Spatial Analyst license? ... View more

A few ways to do it. - Use the CON tool in Spatial Analyst - use RasterToPoint, edit the values in the feature class and then do PointToRaster (remember to set the cell size and extent to that of your original raster) - RasterToASCII, edit the text file, ASCIIToRaster Steve ... View more

What happens if the data are in a feature class?. I.e it looks like your input is in a table. If you do, for example, kriging (no cokriging), does it work? Thanks Steve ... View more

Peter Right click on the Geostatistical layer and click on Properties->Method Summary, what is shown? Also, right click on the Geostatistical layer and click on Method Properties, can you step through the Wizard? Thanks Steve ... View more

TopoToRaster in ArcGIS 10.1 can produce larger output rasters than were created pre-10.1 However, we still cannot create huge rasters and it appears that the output size limit was reached in this case. To read more about it please see http://blogs.esri.com/esri/arcgis/2012/08/13/how-large-a-dem-can-the-topotoraster-tool-create/ Regards Steve ... View more

Andrew What version of ArcGIS are you using? and please can you zip your data and email it to me (slynch@esri.com). Thanks Steve ... View more

use the ExtractByMask tool on the output ... View more

Justina I'm sorry to hear that you are experiencing problems. Please try the following: - use Spatial Analyst IDW with the points that you are using in SplineWithBarriers - use the same field and cell size and output raster name Does this work? If it does then try SplineWithBarriers with a barrier. Or zip and email (slynch@esri.com) me your dataset, the field you're using and the cell size. Regards Steve ... View more

Jenni You may want to add TopoToRaster to your list of interpolation techniques. I'm pretty sure that it'll out perform IDW. You may also want to look at the SubsetFeatures tool in the Geostatistical Analyst toolbox. With this you can "hide" some data, interpolate and then compare your predictions to the "hidden" values. I.e. model validation. Regards Steve ... View more

In ArcMap, use the Catalog window and browse to the folder where you extracted the zip files. There is a toolbox, expand it and you'll find the script tool. Double click it. Regards Steve ... View more
