How do i download windows 8 on to my imac??

hi guys please help me im extreamly confused!

Hello,
You need to either install Bootcamp, if you need it full speed, or you can run it a bit slower & far easier in a Virtual Machine...
Parallels...

  • How do I download Windows 7 64 bit drivers for my new MacBook Air (Mid 2011) from a Windows 7 PC?

    How do I download Windows 7 64 bit drivers for my new MacBook Air (Mid 2011)? I have already formated the HD and preformed a clean install of Windows 7. Perhaps I did this too early. I have read I need to install the drivers from my OS X DVD, however, OS X Lion does not come on a DVD! I've also read that I can download OS X Lion from the App Store and burn it to a DVD, however, all I have are Windows PCs which don't support the Mac App Store.
    Is there no way for me to download these drivers from a Windows PC?  I know they exist.  However, you are supposed to download them through Boot Camp in OS X when you are creating a new Windows 7 installation.  I'm I stuck?

    I am pretty disappointed in the lack of documentation.
    This is the Apple Support page for Boot Camp:
    http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
    No mention anywhere of Lion, of 4.0/4.01
    In the past, 10.6.6+ was suppose to - and sometimes did - provide for a download drivers from within Boot Camp Assistant program, in order to save them to flash or such (that should be about 1GB, too large for CD). Some macs req'd a USB-DVD or other driver that was needed pre-install of Winidows
    You don't install Apple drivers until after Windows is installed otherwise,
    It is possible for me, with a tower, to run w/o needing any drivers from Apple. But with laptops, mini, you do need some drivers from Apple for graphics, internet, wireless, SMC support.
    And right now, loading any Apple support Tech Note articles is very very slow.
    People keep asking why Apple can't post 3.0 or 4.0 like they do the updates. Only logic is to force t he download from inside OS X or from an OS X DVD. Otherwise would be here, and avoid all the trouble. they aren't of use on a PC, and any PC motherboard vendor does post their support software for download.

    That is because whoever programmed the web site used Internet Explorer extentions. These will only run in Internet Explorer. So, use a computer with Windows to use that web site.

    How do I download windows 7 on my macbook pro step by step.

    Here's the Boot Camp setup guide. It requires a Windows 7 installation disk, but you can create one on a USB stick, if you have downloaded a full copy of Windows 7, using those instructions.

    Am I the only one that see's the walled garden horror in that statement?
    Go to a Office type store or online and buy a copy of Windows  7 Home Basic, Home or Pro  (whatever) and stick the 64bit DVD into the computer.
    You'll have to first learn about Bootcamp  if your going to want to dual boot, it's complex and a hassle, but gives full hardware performance.
    https://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
    Another way is to first install VMFusion, Parallels or VirtualBox and then install Windows into that, Windows runs like a file in a window on OS X. You can run Windows programs in that, but it's not as powerful as BootCamp method, but more convenient for most normal (non-hardware taxing) programs.

    Assuming you already have it installed: Go to system preferences and chose 'start up disc' in the system menu. Then select the Windoze partition and restart it. - To get back to OSX, find the Boot Camp icon in the tool bar bottom right.

  • How can I download photoshop extended on my new iMac? I already have it downloaded and am using it on the old iMac

    Please, how can I download photoshop extended on my new iMac? I already have it downloaded and am using it on the old iMac

    if you follow all 7 steps, you can download a trial via one of the links on this page using a browser that accepts cookies:  http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-10-direct-download-links-pse-premiere-pre.htm l
    and activate with your serial number.
    if you have a download problem, you didn't follow all 7 steps.  typically, failure to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 is the problem, but your browser must also allow cookies so that's (a restrictive browser setting) another potential source of problems.

    Looking at this article, it doesn't look like that camera model is supported by iPhoto. You may want to get in touch with Sony and see if they have any software that will allow you to import/view it.

    How do I download photos from iphoto on my imac to my new macbook?

    Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc)  or use an external hard drive formed Mac OS extended (journaled) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.

    When I download a file, how can I make the download window automatically come to the front?

    THANK YOU! I don't know which idiot thought of removing the downloads window in favor of that ridiculous menu but I've been tearing my hair out trying to fix it. The old window has everything you need in one easy window while the menu requires multiple steps to check EACH download. I was ready to drop release 20 and go back to 19.

  • How do I download Windows Media Player to my Windows 7 - 32 bit laptop?

    As the title suggests, I am having a bit of difficulty going to the Microsoft Website and downloading Windows Media Player - version 11 to my Windows 7 Hewlett Packard laptop - the Pavilion dv4.    Any suggestions?  I do not see WMP in
    my list of applications nor is it under the Control Panel in Add/Remove programs.   I cannot therefore run the Demos with Microsoft has on using MS-WORD 2007 which is the version that came installed with my laptop in 2011.      
    Please give me some step by step instructions for finding if I have WMP at all.  Second, please tell me how I can then download from Microsoft's site.  I really need to learn the ins and outs of Word and I'm used to the prior Word version. 
    thanks.

    If you purchased the pc in Europe or South Korea, you may have a Win 7 "N" or "KN" version which does not ship with Windows Media Player. Please see
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-au/windows7/products/what-is-windows-7-n-edition
    To check your Windows version see
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-au/windows7/find-which-edition-of-windows-7-you-are-using
    To install Windows Media Player on Win 7 N or KN, see
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=16546
    ...and WMP version 12 was released in 2009.
