HOW DO I GET OPERATING SYSTEM 10.7 ON MY IMAC?

Does anyone know how I can go about obtaining the above o/s 10.7 for my current iMac?

Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu and check the processor.
If it's a PowerPC Mac, it can't be upgraded past 10.5.8.
If it's a Core Duo Mac, click here, install the DVD, and run Software Update. It can't be upgraded past 10.6.8.
If it's a Core 2 Duo or better Mac, follow the Core Duo instructions, and if desired, open the Mac App Store, and try downloading 10.9. If you get told it's incompatible, go to the online Apple Store and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC software such as Microsoft Office 2004. If you upgrade the OS, back up the computer first.

An app requires a later operating system but iTunes indicates phone has latest operating system when I sync with the computer. How do I get latest system if iTunes says I have the latest?

If you have a Verizon iPhone 4, the current version of iOS is 4.2.10. You can not install anything higher at this point. The next release of iOS will most likely be iOS 5.

How many partitions and operating systems can you line up in BootCamp?

A quick question, hopefully with a quick answer.
How many partitions and operating systems can you line up in BootCamp?
Are we limited to just 2, or can we have more?
Say, for example, Mac, Win XP, Win Vista and Linux maybe?
Thanks in advance.

VPC does not run on Intel Macs. If you wish to use virtualization on an Intel Mac see this:
Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak 2 or Vista. Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, or Vista Ultimate. Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
3. VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, or Vista Ultimate. VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows. The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
5. VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris. It is not yet fully developed for the Mac - some features are not yet implemented - but it does work otherwise.
6. Last is Q. Q is a freeware emulator that is compatible with Intel Macs. It is much slower than the virtualization software, Parallels and VM Fusion.
Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system.
See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion.
Boot Camp is only available with Leopard. The Boot Camp Beta that was used with Tiger has expired and is no longer available for use. So contrary to the other poster's comment, Boot Camp isn't truly "free." You must purchase Leopard to get it.
You can upgrade XP to Vista without having to make any changes to the Boot Camp partition. Vista can either perform an upgrade install or erase the Windows volume before installing Vista. You don't need to do anything to change the partition via Boot Camp. However, if you need to enlarge the partition, then the only way that can be done is to first use Boot Camp to remove the partition. Then use Boot Camp to make a new, larger partition. All data from the Windows partition will be lost.

Get Operating System info for remote computer?

I trying to figure out how to pass credentials to this command to get operating system of a remote computer.
get-wmiObject win32_operatingsystem -Credential domain\username
Anyone know how to include the password as well? You can see in my picture below, it prompts. If I enter the password in the prompt, the command works fine.
Any suggestions? Thanks

Hi Romatio,
where there is a will, there is a script:
$pwd = ConvertTo-SecureString "password" -AsPlainText -Force
$user = "Domain\User"
$cred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential($user, $pwd)
Make sure you store the script securely though, the password is readable in plain text after all.
Cheers,
Fred
Edit: Just in case: Use the $cred variable then for the -Credential Parameter
There's no place like 127.0.0.1
well u can store password this way

There is no "Dos-Mode" in OSX.
Guessing that you tried to run an .exe file while in OSX ?
These are meant to be run in Windows.

Is this how you reset?
1. Hold the Sleep and Home button down (together)
2. For about 10 seconds
3. Until you see the Apple logo (very important)
4. Ignore the red slider

Install or Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion 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 Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion 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.

How can i get the system language of machine in script

How can i get the system language of machine in script ?

I don't get it: what you posted gives a list of all the languages (and I don't see what awk brings to the party).
Hmm. On my laptop the first bit gets me the list of languages as they appear in the listing in the International preferences pane:
(en, de, es, ja, fr, it, nl, sv, nb, da, fi, pt, "zh-Hans", "zh-Hant", ko)
So I piped that to awk to pull out just the first one (they're ordered just like they are in the prefs pane, with the current language first). But that gives me some extra text:
(en,
So I piped that to sed to remove the comma and parenthesis. That gives me the current code, which in my case was "en" (or "de" if I switched the language).
defaults read -g AppleLocale
gives me en_GB. So maybe this last is better for you?
Well, sure, if you want to do it the easy way. But where's the fun in that? Seriously though, I get en_US, which is a more accurate and complete view of my settings...

How do I get my iPod to talk with my iMac using FaceTime?

I know it's going to be something annoyingly obvious, BUT, how do I get my iPod to talk with my iMac using FaceTime? Both appear to work just fine with other emails, have made calls out to others using email addresses with both the iPod and the iMac. Have recieved calls from others on both iPod and iMac using phone numbers and email addresses. Just can't call my self as it were. Both the iPod and the iMac use the same email address, is this my problem? How do I get it work? (it's for my daughter so she can talk and see her mother when she under goes cancer treatment).

Yes, having the same FT calling email address is the problem. It like trying to make a phone call to your your phone from your phone.
On one device add another email address for FT and then uncheck or delete the Apple ID email address the Apple ID call email adddress on the device.
On the iPod go to SettingsFaceTime>You can be Reached At
