How do I know which version of Boot Camp Windows software to download

I am trying to download the correct Windows utilities to install into a Win 7 - 32 bit installation on my mid-2010 Mac Mini. I am running MacOS 10.8.4. I cannot get the auto download feature in boot camp to work so I am trying to download the software manually. The problem is that there are 4 or 5 different Version 4 downloads. I have tried two and both times when I tried to install it in Windows it told me I had an incompatible installer program. I have wasted way too much time on this already and am really ready for some expert advice. For that matter I would also be interested in finding out why I keep getting a network error evertime I try to download it through boot camp.
Thanks,
Rick

  • How can I know which version of Firefox I'm using?

    I tried to download an EOB from my insurance company's website, and it won't allow me to view the EOB. I talked to their web support and was told that I have to use the same version of Firefox that they support, which is Firefox 26 or 27. I don't know how to find out which version I am using. If I am not using their version of Firefox (26 or 27), how can I download that version. I don't know which version is on my PC now and I don't know how to find it on Firefox. Thank you
    I just tried installing below this box on Troubleshooting Information, and Firefox would not allow me to install. What is going on?

    Is the EOB a PDF document?
    Firefox updates every 6 weeks and the current version is 31.0. Rolling back almost 6 months is not recommended for security reasons. If that's their best answer, I suggest we either figure out a workaround for getting the document, or you just use a different browser for their site.

  • My laptop's been stolen; I have serial number of my Photoshop Elements but can't remember which version; I now have Wondows 8.1. How do I know which version to redownload and install?

    Sorry...title says it all. I had a Photoshop Elements 3.0 on disk and have subsequently downloaded updates and was running an updated version on my stolen laptop with Windows 7.
    MyAccount shows my Photoshop serial number but not the version number which I have forgotten. I assume I can now redownload the version I had - updated to work on Windows 8.1 but don't know which version to download.

    Contact Customer Support by chat or by phone and they should be able to look into your purchase history.  You might even find it yourself if you poke around different links in your account.
    Here is a link to a page with options to help make contact:

    Support should be able to deactivate the software for your stolen laptop as well.

  • I have a MacBook (mid 2009) running 10.8.3 and want to install a Windows operating system. Which version of Boot Camp and which version of windows do I need.

    I have a MacBook (mid 2009) running 10.8.3 and need to install Windows, at least XP, to run some software for work. What version of Boot Camp will work and where do I get a licensed copy of XP or Windows 7

    The version of Boot Camp on your Mac will work, you must buy a copy of Windows 7 or 8 (not XP)
    Windows drivers can be downloaded from here.

  • When I delete duplicates how do I know which version is the original song and which is the duplicate?

    I have recently transfered all my music to a new computer and duplicates have appeared in my itunes. I have chosen to 'show exact duplicates' so that it is easier for me to delete, but I can't work out which version of the song I need to delete. (When I click to delete on the top version a box appears stating 'move to recycle bin', but when I click on the second version the box which appears just says 'delete file from itunes.')
    Also - does any one know where these duplicates have emerged from?!?
    I hope I have given enough info. I would be super grateful if someone could shed some light on this!
    Thanks.

    Apple's official advice on duplicates is here... HT2905: How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as lost ratings and playlist membership.
    Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created.  If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
    Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background, this post for detailed instructions, and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
    (If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed.)
    The most recent version of the script can tidy dead links as long as there is at least one live duplicate to merge stats and playlist membership to and should cope sensibly when the same file has been added via multiple paths.

  • How to hide (make invisible) folders in Boot camp windows partition

    I just bought my parents a mac mini core duo and set up boot camp on it. I used FAT32 so the windows partition shows up in OSX as a volume called "NO NAME". I can also see all of the files and system directories in the volume as one would expect. I have 2 questions.
    1. can I rename the "NO NAME" partition from within osx to something more like "WINDOWS" or "XP"? or am I stuck with "NO NAME"?
    2. How Can I hide all of the system files and directories? I don't want other people in the house to be able to see anything on that partition except for 1 directory called "DropBox" (or something like that). This will protect the windows partition from being tampered with, and any files that need to be moved across partitions can just be placed in the "DropBox" folder.
    I would appreciate any help with this.
    thanks,

    Do you have the "Developer" folder on the main level of your hard drive? If not, you can manually install the Developer Tools from the install disk(s) that came with your iBook.
    I would be more than just a little worried about using the Terminal and command line codes to start hiding files & folders on your Mac if you're not already familiar with those tools.

  • How do I know which disk I booted from?

    I think I started my computer by using external drive as startup disk (I was trying to recover deleted files off my hard drive).
    I've restarted the computer several times and I think I've continued to start off of external drive.
    How do I confirm this is the drive I started from and I'm running off of?

    Whichever one is at the top of the desktop is generally the boot drive. Otherwise, go to the Startup Disk preferences and see which one is selected.
