Does windows work on the imac
I'm interested in purchasing a notebook; my question is does windows work on the mac noyebooks?
Yes. http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
And visit the Boot Camp forum https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp.
Alternatively you can also install Windows using a virtual machine like Parallels, Fusion, or VirtualBox.

How Does Windows Boot If The iMac's Hardisk is GUID & Not MBR?
Hi. How does Windows (Windows 8.1 64-bit in this case) boot if the hard drive in the iMac (late 2009) is in GUID partition scheme? Doesn't Windows need a partition scheme of MBR?
Thank you in advance. Have a great upcoming sunday mass/great week.
God bless.You run Boot Camp Assistant to create the proper partition on which to install Windows.

Hp TrueVision HD web cam does not work. The light will come on but no image appears in the window.
Hi.
I have an HP Pavilion dv7 6178us Entertainment PC I just bought it last week. My operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1 64 bits.
The problem I have is that yesterday I install Skype in the computer and realized that the HP TrueVision HD web cam does not work. The light right next to the web cam will light up but no image will appear on the screen.
I have checked the software that I have in the computer for the webcam and the program is CyberLink YouCam BE version 3.5.
But the web cam does not work. The light right next to it will turn on when I activate Cyberlink, Skype or Messenger but no actual image will come out in computer screen. The computer is fully updated BIOS, Windows 7 and HP.
But the web cam is not working. Could you help me fix this problem?
Best regards:
JEIO71I have a pavilion dv6 notepad. it's about a year old.
about a month ago internal webcam truevision hd stop working.
Called hp tech. they sent a box for me to ship the laptop.
they hp tech attempted to correct the problem via internet
did not work.
wanted me to do a restore to factory setting i stopped him there.
Webcam detected in device manager.
the webcam light come on but no image.
I actually see the back drop through the image space.
running windows 7, fully updated.
I found many comments on the web about the webcam connector disconnecting.
But if it was the case with my computer, the webcam would not be detected.
Many other comments suggests to do a restore to factory setting but \i read also that
does not work often.
I read many comments where disappointed clients believe hp should update
the software but the driver is actually microsoft dating back to june 2006.
Is it possible it's a hardware problem, ie webcam is burned out.
I have received a box to sent it and know they will do a system restore.
Don't feel to go that way.
Many comments refers to hp making an effort to get a driver update.
ps I decided to purchase a logitech webcam, works perfectly.
What else can I do to fix this problem.
Can hp send me another internal webcam. -

Can PC software work on the iMac G5 with Intel?
Can PC software work with the iMac G5 with Intel processor? I need to know! And also, is there a new apple computer coming out next year (2007) that will be able to run PC software? I am mainly asking because I want to know if I will be able to run PC games on iMac G5 with Intel or the new computer coming out in 2007. I need to know!
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6)
iMac G5 Intel Processor Mac OS X (10.4.6)Just an idea for you. There is an entire Apple Discussion forum dedicated to Boot Camp and Windows XP.
Whereas, not everyone here with an Intel iMac has installed, tried to install or has experience with BC & XP, everyone there has or at least has an interest. You may attract help more quickly there.
The Forum is at the bottom of the main Apple Discussions page under Windows Compatible Technology.
Here is a link;
Forum: Boot Camp Public Beta
Panther was the version of Mac OS X before the current version, Tiger. Apple Computer does not release information in advance of its introductions of new hardware/software and the rules of the Apple Disussions forbid "speculation." Boot Canp is Beta because it is not yet a permanent part of Mac OS X. It works fine. It does not require constant updates. It comes with instructions for its own installation as well for Windows XP SP2. You have to purchase Windows from Microsoft. Folks report that games run fine and that Windows runs better on their Macs than it ever did on their PCs!
Visit the Boot Camp forum at the above link for further info. -
My Viewsonic monitor won't work with the Imac using the Mini Port to DVI adapter.
My Viewsonic monitor won't work with the Imac using the Mini Port to DVI adapter. I also tried the HDMI to DVI adapter ane the Mac-Mini with same result. The monitor does work on my older Macbook Pro that has the DVI connector. Is it a Software/Driver issue ?
Should be extremely simple, please carefully read Connect multiple displays to your Mac. If you still have problems then it's probably a cable issue that would be resolved by replacing the adapter cable. You should be using this adapter. If you are using a third party adapter that might be your problem!

I was running KeyPassFox with Firefox 8.0.1, but the plugin does not work in the new release (9) . Is there a way to restore my previous version with all of my bookmarks intact? I do not mind if I have to restore the plugins myself.
The plugin shows on the list as enabled and functioning, yet the tool does not show on the toolbar. It would appear that I need to restore the previous version of Firefox and wait until a newer release of the plugin is available before upgrading the browser.I copied the iTunes file from the external drive and it's in both places. I thought all I would need is the iTunes program (which I downloaded to new computer) and my iTunes library file. There must be something else that's missing. My iTunes library looks the same on the new computer as it does when I open it on the external drive. If I click on an iTunes library song from my new computer, it will only play if I have the external drive plugged in.
My back-up drive is a mess. I have multiple copies of music, video, photo, and document files and I don't know how that happened. ={ Obviously, I don't know how to back up stuff properly and there are back-up files extending over a 6- to 8-year period. I think all I did was just drag and drop the main folders from the back-up drive to the same main folders on the C: drive. Also (and I'm kind of fuzzy on this) Windows used to automatically save music files in a folder within my document files (which makes no sense to me). As my Jewish friends would say, "Oy Vey!" -
inbuilt isight camera is detected in system profiler but no image is being detected only a black screen shows up. I have tried all of the troubleshooting instructions and it still wont work. The iMac im using is OS X 10.6 and was an ex-floor model
Hi,
I would try a Safe Boot first. (This will take longer than a normal Boot and you will need to Restart afterwards).
If it were an older OS I would also suggest going to System Preferences > Displays and making sure the display is set to Millions. (My MacBook Pro does not have this option in Snow Leopard so I did presume Snow Leopard does not have it).
With some laptops there have been some issues with the cable up the back of the screen pulling loose with regular and frequent use of the lid, but this will not apply to you based on your specs. (it does take time to appear and is also somewhat rare). However it seems enough contact with the camera can make it appear in System Profiler and power it on but not give a pic.
If a Safe Boot does not work I would also try a PRAM reset.
Shut down the computer.
Restart it holding down Apple/CMD (or ⌘)+ALT( ⌥)+P+R Keys until you have heard three Start Up Bongs.
This is actually "less" destructive in that it clears less memory items than Safe Boot but they are different enough to warrant trying.
Do you have an older version of iGlasses installed ?
The one for Leopard does not work for Snow Leopard.
Do you have Web Browser open ?
This may point to Google Video Chat Plug-in and Flash Conflict. It would be rare to allow another app to access the camera even if not displayiong a Pic.
(Chrome Installs the Plug-in as does the standalone download).
Knowing what "any application" exactly you are trying might help us pin it down.
Any additional downloaded apps that can use the camera ?
Do you happen to have something balck in front of the camera ?

How well does windows work on a Mac? I am thinking of getting a mac book pro and I would want to use the MAC OSX most of the time but sometimes on the road I will need to use windows for work. If I install windows also how well does it work?? Have you had any problems?
Lots of questions! I'll do what I can, I am newish to Macs and not an IT expert.
I use a MacBook when out and about, it seems fine, better when I upped the ram and HD. I'm not sure whether "better" is the right term. The pro's bigger screen and keyboard may be useful - your choice. The MacBook is my choice because of weight and price, I'm not sure what to get next time. I think I prefer portability for travel and Mac Pro power for deskbased work. The graphics driver would be the deciding factor for Cad etc for me. Not an issue so far and it's a 2 year old MacBook.
I did put a new hard drive in, the partitions were too small. A 250gb drib=ve is MUCH cheaper than a new machine, simple to install. I allowed the max XP partition at 30gb (FAT).
AV - antivirus software for XP - essential to keep clean files.
Leopard - run BootCamp and follow the instructions. It will tell you when to insert the XP disk etc. Mine was choosy about the XP version, you need a recent one. Early SP1 just don't work.
I prefer to use BootCamp and not Fusion etc - simply to maximise the MacBook resources - it's not sharing anything. That may be why I can run the apps. You just need a little planning on what you are going to work on.
Think that's all , as I said, I'm just a user. -
I have 2 13-inch MacBook Airs. Also an iMac.
I could ScreenShare from both laptops at work with the iMac at home.
Suddenly I can only do so from one MBA, which sees the iMac, no problem.
But the other MBA cannot sse it any longer.
The MBAs can see each other.
All running the same OS and Apps.
Only difference is...
All have Multiple Apple IDs. ( 2 )
But one MBA was recently set to use the 2nd Apple ID as the main Apple ID
while the other MBA still uses the 1st, as does the iMac.
What is happening...?Hector Moll-Carrillo wrote:

That's the reason.
Unless you're using VNC or Apple Remote Desktop (which I assume you are not) both the MacBook Air and the the iMac need to be using the same iCloud account.
System Preferences>iCloud and make sure Back to My Mac is checked.

Do the sony HD cameras work on the iMac G5 to make a HD movie on DVD?
I was told that the iMac does not burn a HD DVD. Is that true? I was also told that the Sony HD hard drive Camcorder HDR-SR1 has to go through a whole process before you can make a move, and that it actually downgrades it. I was also told that the HDR-HC3 (is the one with the miniDV) is the easiest to convert to the iMac to make a move, but then again it does not make the HD movies. I can't seem to find a difinitive answer. Can I get a HD video camera to work on the iMac? Is the miniDV better than the Hard drive? Does anyone have these cameras and editing? Please let me know, its for a Christmas Present. To go HD or not for the camcorder.
Hello,
Welcome to the discussions. The iMac along with iDVD will not burn a HD DVD. There are two competing forms for high definition video discs: HD & Blu-Ray.
http://news.com.com/FAQHD+DVD+vs.+Bluray/2100-1041_3-5886956.html
Currently, a burner for either of these isn't really economical (players start @ $500!).
The AVCHD format of the HDR-SR1 isn't what I would call Mac friendly nor what I would call editing friendly. The AVCHD is a very new consumer codec so who knows what support will be like.
http://www.avchd-info.org/
Using a mini-DV camcorder is indeed the best and/or easiest way to import/edit movies on any platform. Now some will argue that a HDV camcorder (iMovie does support HDV) is the way to go. Keep in mind that even though the camcorder records in HDV, you still don't have a way to deliver a HD DVD as of yet. As such, the your HDV movie would be down-sampled to SD (standard definition) for burning to DVD. And importing and editing in HDV requires more hard drive space & patience! Personally, a good mini-DV camcorder is the way to go. It is the easiest way to get started, learn the ropes and let some of this HD/AVCHD/Blu-Ray/HD DVD dust settle.

I have an event in my calendar that was sent by someone that does not work for the company anymore and I am reminded 2 times a week. How do I delete it?
Tap on the event to open the event. Click the 'Edit' button in the event bubble, then press the 'Delete Event' button at the bottom of the Edit pop-up. It's a little different for events that come through Microsoft Exchange, you tap the event to bring up bubble and click the 'Details' button, and then press 'Decline' to remove the event.

When I update my iPhone 4S to iOS six Facebook does not work properly the newsfeed doesn't load properly and I can never see what's going on all I see is a picture of an antenna and a little thing underneath it says no new stories when I reset my phone back to iOS 5 then it works just fine and I don't have any issues so there must be something wrong with iOS six that isn't letting Facebook load properly
No I did not use any unauthorized methods for anything, I simply reset my phone back to factory.
