  • I need to install Internet Explorer 6 or greater on my iMac to work with a program.  How is the best way to do that?

    I need to install Internet Explorer 6 or greater on my iMac (intel processor) running MacOS 10.6.8 to work with a program.  How is the best way to accomplish this?

    There is no way.  IE has not been available for the Mac for years now.
    Your only option is to install native Windows and use that - either through a bootcamp dual-boot scenario, or use a virtual machine to run windows in (eg. Parallels or VMWare Fusion).  Either way, you will need a full retail install disk for Windows.
    P.S. the last version of IE for Mac was for PPC machines, and it was discontinued in 2003.

  • Can I install an 8Gb Ram Module on a 2010 Imac?

    Acording to apple support iMac (Mid 2010): Memory specifications - Apple Support, "You can use RAM module sizes of 2 GB or 4 GB in each slot", but clearly is more cost efficient to be able to install an 8Gb and a 4Gb, as the iMac already comes with two 2Gb modules, the iMac only takes 4 cards and it has a max RAM memory capacity of 16Gb.
    Can I install a 8Gb?

  • Mail search not working after clean install of 10.5.4 on new 20" iMac

    Apple Mail search is not working. Search on "subject line" works, but search on "entire message" does not. For example, searching with "parking" yields NO results, and there are many messages with the word "parking" in their body in the mailboxes. It happens with both "In Box" and "All Mailboxes" checked.
    What's going on?
    I did a clean install of Mac OS X on a 20" iMac using the Install disk shipped with the machine. Then I ran Software Update. Still, the problem happens, on a clean baseline system.
    Argh.

    I've had this problem since Tiger. Various solutions have been posted, but none have worked for me. It really cripples Mail--I've used emails as my personal database for years, kind of a history log, which worked great in Eudora but Eudora isn't being supported anymore.
    After updating to X.5.5, I can search "entire message" for "All Mailboxes" and find everything including emails in the mailbox I was viewing (often finds 60,000 occurences, but doesn't take very long--it's just incredibly tedious to find the one I want from such an enormous set of results). I can also find everything using Spotlight, outside of Mail. But if I am looking at any mailbox, like Inbox, search "entire message" never finds anything at all. Searching for subjects etc works fine.

  • I have just installed a new hard drive in my imac intel 20" (2006) and now the hard drive does not show up in the 'select destinations' folder of the install program.

    I have just installed a new hard drive in my imac intel 20" (2006) and upgraded the memory and now the hard drive does not show up in the 'select destinations' folder of the install program. I can see the hard drive in the disk utilities window however it wont let me do anything.
    It is a seagate 1TB SATA II drive however it is displaying it as a 7.3 TB.
    If anyone has any suggestions I would be happy to hear them.
    I have tried to erase and partition and get the same error message each time, 'Input/Output error'.
    I have tried starting the thing with the install disk which is Mac OS X (Tiger?) which came with the computer. No good.
    Anyone?

    Thats correct. I can see it in the list however when I attempt to erase it or partition it it's like it's not being found or recognised and it throws up the input/output error message. I am pretty sure that the sensor it attached correctly and it is a SATA drive. I can see all the infor regarding the drive when disk utility is open and it all looks good but I cant access it or do anything with it. It's taunting me!
    The install disk is in the drive and the install program runs right up to the point where you have to select the location for the install and there is just nothing in the box where you have to select the hard drive icon.
    I have my suspiscions about the drive but any help would be appreciated.

  • Can I install two regular (non SSD) drives on an iMac?

    I noticed that you can configure an iMac to come with one regular hard drive and one SSD drive. I was wondering if you could install two regular drives instead? I would like to use one hard drive as a back up drive but in order for that to work they both would need to be about the same capacity.

    There simply isn't enough room for two regular sized (3.5 inches) harddisks.
    The SSD has a size of 2.5 inches and for that there seems to be enough room for that size.

  • How do i install boot camp on a brand new 3tb iMac osx 10.8.2

    how do i install boot camp on a brand new 3tb iMac osx 10.8.2?

    Note: At this time BootCamp doesn't support 3TB drives - this is due to a memory allocation issue with Windows. Check out this article on a/an (unreliable) work around. I say unreliable because some people are reporting success and others failure. At this time if you really need Windows it probably would be better to use virtualization software like Parallels, VMWare, or VirtualBox.

  • I run an iMac Intel Core2 due with mac OS 10.7.3.  One software package is HMRC Basic Tools and I am unable to install the latest updates.  I open them up enter my password and press enter and they close down.  Apple and HMRC are unable to help..ates

    I run an Imac Intel Core 2 duel with Mac OS 10.7.3.  I run a software package provided by HMRC and called a Basic PAYE Tools.  I am trying to install the latest 2012 update for the new tax year.  I have downloaded this with no problems and I click on the icon to open this.  I am asked for my computer password which I enter.  Then press enter and the update closes down.  I have tried this several times and the same thing happens.  I have the appropiate Adobe packages for this to work.
    Help please as Apple  helpdesk and HMRC helpdesk cannot find out why.  I have even obtained a CD with the updates from HMRC and the same thing happens.

    Thanks, this worked for me, too.
    At first I tried to Quit Virusbarrier x6 but it kept on running. Then I disabled the Real-time Scanner and it all worked fine after that.

  • Can I install Mac OS 10.4.7 CD's meant for an imac intel chip (Jan 2007)??

    Can I install Mac OS 10.4.7 CD's that came from an imac intel chip (Jan 2007) ONTO an ibook power pc G3? The ibook only has a CD drive and I believe the OS installs are CD's not DVD's as there are 2 of them. The ibook currently is running OS 10.3.9 with 23 GB on the HD at the moment. I may be able to free up some space though by dumping Microsoft Office. I know for sure I had 10.4.7 on there before but I got a used HD and there is only 10.3.9 on it. Sigh.

    Nope, sorry wont work, those are Machine & Architecture specific Install Discs.
    See Tom's, (Texas Mac Man), great info on where/how to find/get Tiger...

  • I have a older Airport Express unit that requires Airport Utility 5.6. When I try to install 5.8 on my OS X10.8 iMac, I get the message "Airport Utility can't be installed on this disk. The version of Mac OS X on this volume in not Supported"

    Why should I have to spend money to solve this problem? Many others have the same concern, Airport Utility 6 does not support  older Airport Express units. This is Apple's problem. I've tried many solutions proposed on the net but none worked. I'm still trying for a work around.

  • IMac Intel 17" Slow when installing software

    Hi.
    I've an iMac Intel dualcore 17" 1,5GB RAM and 160GB.
    I've searched the internet for over 2weeks now and i haven't find the solution for my problem. I called Apple and they didn't know what the problem was.
    My problem:
    My OS-X Tiger started to lag and hang so i decided to format the disk and reinstall everything. The OS intallation took over 24Hours... then when the installation finally was over, the problem wasn't solved. OS-X still hangs and is very very slow.
    I have repaired my disk, defragmented it, formated to MAC OS Extended(journaled) i have made almost everything.
    I'm trying to install the software update now and at first it said "about 5 minutes left" after 5minutes "44minutes left" after 10minutes "1hour and 5minutes left".
    It is the same problem in every installation that I try to make. Even when I formatted the drive and reinstalled the OS.. it took over 24 Hours!! I'm going crazy over here...
    I hope someone will provide me with a solution for my problem.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hello IOO and Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    I can't say for sure what the problem is, but reinstalling Tiger (both disk) should take under an hour!
    I can only suspect that there might problem with your HD, run the "Apple Hardware Test" as out lined in the following article:

  • I just installed the new mountain lion software on my iMac.  I was currently running Snow Leopard.  My problem is with my mouse.  Now when I scroll down the page it moves in the opposite direction. I checked system S.P. - Natural for scroll feature.

    I just installed the new mountain lion software on my iMac.  I was currently running Snow Leopard.  My problem is with my mouse.  Now when I scroll down the page it moves in the opposite direction. In system preferences I tried checking and unchecking Natural for scroll feature. Movement from side to side works fine.  Has anyone experienced this problem?

    I think this new scrolling behaviour was introduced with Lion. You do get used to it pretty quickly (well I did). Are you sure that deselecting Natural Scrolling in Mouse Prefs doesn't re-instate the previous behaviour, it does here.

    You need to purchase the upgrade disk (it is a DVD). Then just put it in and run the installer. When it was first released it was $29 USD, do not know if the price has changed or not.
    The usual precautions about backing up your data apply. In fact I would recommend either making a Disk Image of your current boot drive or using something like Carbon Copy Cloner to copy it to an external drive. I upgraded 5 machines from Leopard to Snow Leopard without any issues, but better to be safe than sorry.
