Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You have to format your Windows volume and install Windows 7. First, insert the Windows 7 DVD and hold the C key while your computer is starting. Then, follow the steps and, at partitioning step, choose your Windows volume (it's the last volume listed in your display), choose Advanced options, and format it. Then, install Windows.
Finally, after installing it, install the Boot Camp support software > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1630
Windows 8 is only compatible with some new computers. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634

  • I have just downloaded Yosemite but Final Cut Pro will not work can you help

    Hi, I have, two days ago, updated my Mac with OS Yosemite only to find the programme Final Cut Pro no longer works.  Can you explain please
    imac 27" Mid 20l1
    Processor 3.1GHZ intel core i5
    memory 4GB 1333 MHZ DDR3
    Please do not get too technical. Thanks

    Glad you got it going.
    I might suggest reading up on it starting here

    as the new version is very different from what you're used to.

  • Since I have upgraded to ios7 my internet banking page will not fit the screen. Before updating I enlarged the page by using the *2 button in the bottom right hand of the screen, there no longer is that option?

    Install or Reinstall OS X from Scratch
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Erase the hard drive:
      1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
      2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
          left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
      3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
          the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
          the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
      4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Install button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
               because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • I did an update on my ipad and now I have to restore it but it says I will lose everything How can I get my pictures on there before I restore my ipad to factory settings?

    I did an update on my ipad and now I have to restore it but it says I will lose everything How can I get my pictures on there before I restore my ipad to factory settings?

    They will be gone from the iphone, but you should be syning all contacts to your computer regularly and should be importing all pics to your computer regularly, particularly before any update.
    Have you failed to do this?

    Try closing the Camera app completely and see if then works when you re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Camera 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Camera app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.

    only have 3 devices authorized, but my new computer will not authorize. Itune says there are 5 devices connected already. why?

    Perhaps the five includes computers that you no longer own, or a computer that has had a replacement hard drive put in it.
    In your iTunes account, De-authorise All and then authorise the computer(s) that you still use.

  • Since upgrading to OS X yosemite my printer will not work.

    Since upgrading to OS X Yosemite my printer will not work.

    I found the solution in another thread. Thanks to frankglyn who posted it there.
    I've just copied it here, as this seems to be the most active thread on this subject.
    The solution (steps A to C) worked fine for me and others and should work for you as well, until Kodak will come with an updated driver. Then, you can revert the changes as also described below (steps 1 to 7)
    A) in Spotlight Type Terminal and then press enter.
    This should bring up the terminal window/program.
    B) In the Terminal type sudo sh -c 'echo "Sandboxing Relaxed" >> /etc/cups/cups-files.conf'
    It will ask for your password.
    C) After that type following: sudo launchctl stop org.cups.cupsd
    After that if you are lucky the printer driver should start to work. (which it did in my case)
    I hope this works out for you, if not then you can do following to revert the changes:
    In case you want/have to revert the changes:
    1) Open the terminal as usual (Spotlight type Terminal hit enter and wait for the terminal window to appear)
    2) then type: cd /etc/cups
    3) then type: sudo nano cups-files.conf
    4) 'type in your password'
    This brings up a command line editor which you can use to edit the file
    5) Remove the last line which says Sandboxing Relaxed
    6) press 'ctrl x'
    And then confirm with y when being asked if you want to save the changes
    7) after that type sudo launchctl start org.cups.cupsd

  • On another PC I want to backup my bookmarks but my Firefox browser is not working how can I do the backup before I reinstall Firefox

    On another PC I want to backup my bookmarks but my Firefox browser is not working how can I do the backup before I reinstall Firefox.
    Firefox can't renew it's last tabs and now won't run and let me do a backup

    It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

    There is no legitimate (Apple supported) way to downgrad an iOS on a device.  Have you tried downloading/installing a new (free) app.  That works for many users with that problem.

    Hello Anonymous.
    Although possibly not related to your problem, I will remind you that the version of Firefox you are using at the moment has been discontinued and is no longer supported. Furthermore, it has known bugs and security problems. I urge you to update to the latest version of Firefox, for maximum stability, performance, security and usability. You can get it for free, as always, at [http://www.getfirefox.com getfirefox.com].
    As for your problem, you may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
    If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.

  • Speaker on phone calls will not work, how can I fix this? I have already done system restart and reset to manufature default.

    speaker on phone calls will not work, how can I fix this? I have already done system restart and reset to manufature default. I also have no voice with Safari or any other apps including music!

    If your speaker is broken, then you may need to get a repair done.
    Are you unable to hear anything at all, or is it just one speaker in particular?
    If it is just one speaker, where's it located?
