Download windows on mac

I was wondering if anyone could give me advice on where I could get a free version of windows or a cheap version to run windows on my mac.

I am unaware of any version of Windows being free.
You need to install Bootcamp to run Windows 7.

  • How can you download windows for mac

    I found bunches of videos one which was really good by technobufallo but i still don't know how to do it

    You can't download Windows, you have to buy a retail disk (not an install disk that came with a PC).
    You can use either Boot Camp or a third-party solution such as Parallels Desktop, VMWare Fusion, or VirtualBox to install and use the Windows partition. Boot Camp support/instructions here:

    (Edited:) In Lion, Boot Camp only supports Windows 7. Older versions of Windows should work with the other solutions I mentioned.

  • My mouse/trackpad are completely out of control. The cursor/arrow is flying all over the screen and closing/opening windows. What is the solution to this? Downloading windows for Mac?

    So far I'm dissapointed with Mac O/S .....so many areas lack common sense, require unnessary extra clicks and is not as customizable as Windows. It's like Apple thinks you are a child and not entitled to choose for yourself so that they can control your info for you.
    The mouse/trackpad problem is a major issue that Apple should be proactive in offering a solution for. If anyone has a solution to this I'd be greateful to hear it.
    Thanks, 

    Is this the first time you're using a Mac?
    If so the learning curve is somewhat steep - but, if you put in the time and use this knowledge base whenever you run into issues you'll be up to speed soon enough.
    With regards to the trackpad/mouse, you can adjust the sensitivity by:
    1. Click the Apple Logo on the top left hard corner of your screen
    2. Click System Preferences
    3. Click Trackpad
    Adjust the tracking speed to your specifications.
    Also familiarise yourself with the gestures (activate the ones you can remember)
    To go back to the menue by clicking Show All
    4. Click Mouse
    Adjust your mouse settings to your specification.
    And why use mac?
    It just works...
    (most of the time ;p)

  • I am trying to install windows on my mac via bootcamp, and it says I need to download Windows Support Software. I tried, but it says "Download can not continue. The Windows Support Software is not available.

    I am running OSX 10.6.8 Snow lepard I am trying to install windows on my intel imac 20in late 2006  via bootcamp, and it says I need to download Windows Support Software. I tried, but it says "Download can not continue. The Windows Support Software is not available. I bought the Imac secend hand and did not get the install dvd's with it What can I do?

    You don't need to download the Windows support software, because in Snow Leopard, they are only available as a download for the Late 2010 MacBook Air.
    Instead, you have to buy Mac OS X Snow Leopard. The Snow Leopard disc contains the Windows drivers for your Mac, so you have to install them after finishing the Windows installation

    Hi there,
    The simplest way is to drag it across wirelessly using the 'Airdrop' application once both computers are near one another. 'Airdrop' can be found near the top, on the left hand side menu, within 'Finder'.

    I was wondering can i install windows on my mac when i have downloaded windows form the internet and do not have a C.D.??
    Because when i get to the part in Boot Camp Assistant that says Start Windows Installation it says u need a disc... is there no other way??

    Get the physical copy (disk) this will enable you to reinstall when (not if ) it messes up.
    Make sure to purchase acopy that is compatible with your OSX

  • How do I change platform for downloading and installing Photoshop Elements from Windows to Mac?

    How do I change platform for downloading and installing Photoshop Elements from Windows to Mac?

    As long as your license supports both platforms you should only have to download the Mac version and install/activate using your serial number.  If you need help finding a link to download the file, please indicate the PSE version you need.

  • HT4410 I have a new mac mini, do I have enough space to download Windows 7, and can I just download the software or purchase a disc?

    I have a new mac mini, do I have enough space to download Windows 7, and can I do it through online purchase or disc?  My bootcamp assistant mentions using a USB flash drive??? 

    Yes you do have enough storage, you only need let's say 10GB to properly install Windows with a few (very small) programs. You'd be best of just going to a store and buying a Windows 7 install DVD (not an upgrade one!), or using one that you might have laying around at home. You can also purchase Windows 7 via the Microsoft online store and than burn it to a DVD. It is possible that installing from a USB-drive works, but I have not tried this yet.

    Serial numbers for older versions do not work across platforms.
    At one time, when the product was current, you could get Adobe to switch you to the other platform, but I don't know whether Adobe will do that for old versions.  I do know it's not going to work if you try to use your Windows license for a Mac installation.

  • I've Firefox 6.0.2 and Mac OS X Lion. I can't 'Pause' any download in 'Downloads' window..!

    Hi!
    My system is:- Mac Pro (Early 2009)
    2 x 2.26 Ghz Quad-Core Intel Xeon Processors
    Memory: 6 GB 1066 MHz DDR3 ECC
    Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 512 MB
    Operating System: Mac OS X Lion 10.7.1
    I am using the latest firefox 6.0.2. Problem is that while downloading, if I try to pause a download in 'Downloads' window, then nothing is happening and download still goes-on. If I do cancel, then it cancels the download..!
    Please provide some solution.
    Thanks.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Cannot download Windows Media Player for Mac.....

    On this intel-based mac, i cannot seem to download Windows Media Player, or Flip4Mac components for Quicktime...has anyone found a solution for this problem....although i think Quicktime is a really nice media player, Windows Media Player is used much more frequently and i need it to view videos that Quicktime Player cannot open and that are only available in WMA format..please help me!...

    OK here's the deal, you can download www.flip4mac.com and load onto your Intel MBP. First thing to do before launching the flip4mac installer is to go to
    Applications-->Utilities - Find the application "Installer" and right click- get info and check box "open using rosetta".
    Go back to flip4mac installer and launch. It will now allow you to install onto Intel Mac. Previously, you would get an error not allowing you to install on Intel Macs. Should be gone now. Once installed, you can go back and change the installer back to original. Once flip4mac is installed, find the Safari app in the applications folder and right click- get info and select "open using rosetta". All Windows .wmv files will now play within the browser window and not download to your HD. The sacrifice is the hit in speed you'll take while Safari runs in Rosetta mode. But you can toggle on and off as you need.

  • How to make downloads window appear in 34.0.5 Mac

    I've just updated my Mac's Firefox to 34.0.5. In the previous version I had used about:config to set the browser.download.useToolkitUI to true so that the old-style downloads window always came out during downloads. Now I find that setting is apparently no longer being respected??? I've tried setting it to false, restarting, setting it to true, restarting again. And still the only response to a download is that the annoying arrow in top-right goes blue.
    Is there a way to get the downloads window to come out in this new version?

    Oh, darn! Well thanks anyway for such a quick and comprehensive response. I'll give the add-ons you mention a try.

  • FF4 Mac: Can't show "Downloads" window

    I don't seem to be able to view the "Downloads" window in FF4. (FF3.6 works fine however).
    Methods I've tried:
    * Command + J
    * Tools menu -> Downloads
    * Window menu -> Downloads (yes, it shows in the Window menu)
    * Expose (the main firefox window is there, but not the downloads window)
    * Click+hold the firefox icon on the dock (gives the main window only)
    Downloading of course does work correctly. This has been happening with all the FF4 betas I've tried.
    Mac OS X 10.6.6.

    Is there anyway I can download FireFox for Mac OS X on my Windows 7 machine? I want to try to run it on my Mac emulator. I don't know how to setup the Mac emulator to download, so I want to download it on my W7 partition.
    Thank You.

  • I'm looking to use Bootcamp on my iMac 24". If I download Windows 7 from the Windows website, can I properly install it to my Mac? Do I need the disks instead?

    I'm looking to use Bootcamp on my iMac 24". If I download Windows 7 from the Windows website, can I properly install it to my Mac? Do I need the disks instead?
    I'm hoping to download it from their website because I can pay $30 for the student discount instead of $119...

    When burning the .iso file to a disc restrict the burn-speed to 2x
    Otherwise the disc will most likely not work.
    It's a common phenomenon on Macs.
