How do I load windows for mac

How do I load windows for mac I have DVD software

You can install Windows on a Mac with Boot Camp or a virtual machine. If you need maximum performance, use Boot Camp.
If you want to use Boot Camp, first check that the Windows version you want to install is compatible with your iMac > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634 Then, open Boot Camp Assistant, in /Applications/Utilities, and follow the steps to install Windows. Check > http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.8.pdf
If you want to use the virtual machine, you have to install an application like Parallels, VMware Fusion or VirtualBox, create a virtual machine and install Windows there

  • 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:
    http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
    (Edited:) In Lion, Boot Camp only supports Windows 7. Older versions of Windows should work with the other solutions I mentioned.

  • I'm sure this is a setting fix, but can't find it-.  All of my windows for mac programs open when I turn on my computer, such that I have to close each one individually to get to my desk top.  How do I adjust so none of them open unless I choose to?

  • Windows for Mac hangs frequently,  how can I stop this?

    I have Windows for Mac 98, and lately I have been using that a lot to type some papers, usually for seven hours a day for long stretches. What has happened is that at least once a day, the Windows program suddenly freezes without any warning, and the beachball starts spinning. I can't do anything to stop this from happening. I usually wait a few minutes and then go to Force-Quit and shut it down (the message in Force-Quit is that Word is not responding). I can usually recover some of the work when I go to Microsoft (Auto) Recovered Documents but usually I have lost a lot of the work I have done.
    After this happening regularly, I started to save the work frequently, and hoped that if it crashed again, I could at least save all the work I had done. However, despite doing this, the recovered file had not saved the work until the most recent save, which I thought was strange.
    As my work involves frequent typing in Word documents, this is a big worry.
    I type .doc and .docx documents using Windows but from my recall (but I am not sure about this), both types of documents are involved in this problem.
    How does this problem arise? Does it have to do with the memory? The Windows is using up too much memory perhaps? Would it be the same with Pages? I don't recall this ever happening with Pages but I suppose I haven't typed really long documents in Pages yet.
    My computer is MBA version 3.2. I usually have other programs running at the same time: two browser windows, Pages, iTunes, vlc, Skype, and a program for using wifi with a USB stick. I should close as many programs as I can, I suppose while I am working in Windows, I suppose. Anything else I can do?
    Saving frequently helps but not as much as I thought it would.
    Does it have to do with my using .doc documents in this Windows program which is a .docx program? Should I install the older Windows for Mac program on the computer? Can I run the two versions of Windows for Mac simultaneously on my computer?

    (1) Does it hang or does it crash frequently?
    For the difference, see
    How to tell an application crash from a hang
    <http://marinersoftware.corphelp.com/kb_article.php?ref=5501-WIPV-2930>
    (2) Have you installed any add-ons to Word, such as EndNote CWYW?
    (3) Are you using any 3rd party font managers, such as Suitcase Fusion?
    (4) Are you using any keyboard shortcut or macro managers, such as Keyboard Maestro or TextExpander?

  • HT1338 how do i load windows 7 on a mac air using the super drive?

    How do I load windows 7 on a Mac Air using the super drive?

    You use Boot Camp to partition the SSD in the Air, download the Win 7 Support files from Apple (part of the boot camp process), save them to a USB thumb drive, have the USB superdrive connect to the Air with the Win 7 install DVD in the drive. Once partitioned the system will reboot and start the Win 7 install.

Help

    The two other posts are correct... so I'll just clarify.  What's happening right now is your system is trying to boot into Windows in order to finish the installation.  What you want to do is make it boot into OS X.  As mende1 indicated, with your system off, hold down the Option key and continue to hold it while you turn the system on.  You will eventually be presented with an option to select which partition you would like to boot from.  Choose OS X.  After you get into OS X, again, as mende1 indicated, change the Startup Disk to OS X.  What this will do is cause your system to automatically boot into OS X when you restart it instead of you having to use the Option key when booting each time.
    Relaunching BootCamp Assistant will allow you to remove your Windows installation and partition. 

  • Windows for Mac on Macbook Air?

    If I buy a macbook air (MC969ll/a) will my "windows for MAC 2004" work on Lion? Will I be able to load my 09 ILife and 09 IWork onto my Macbook Air laptop?

    What do you mean by "Windows for Mac 2004"? Are you referring to Office Mac 2004, if so, no it won't work with Lion as it requires Rosetta.
    Yes, you will be able to load iWork '09 and iLife' 09 on your MBA. Your new MBA will come with iLife '09 already preinstalled.

  • How do I load on Office:Mac onto my new MacBook Pro when it doesn't have a disk drive?

    How do I load on Office: Mac onto my new MacBook Pro when it doesn't have a disk drive - I don't want to have to purchase another copy.

    Glad you were able to solve your problem. For the benefit of others who may find this discussion later, allow me to suggest another possibility.
    If you have access to another Mac running Lion or Mountain Lion with an optical drive, you should be able to use the Remote Disc feature to access the optical drive on that other Mac.

  • Can I use Windows for Mac?

    My boss bought me Parallels Windows for Mac.
    Why would I want to use that?
    Would it harm my Mac?
    Would my Mac be suseptive to viruses with that?

    He said in case I wanted to run something that would require windows.
    I do not like Windows, I use it at work because I do not have a choice.
    Whatever document or anything that anyone sends me that my iMac will not open I just delete.
    He also bought me Acronis True Image for Mac, for Backups, but what he does not know is that I purchased a
    WD My Passport for Mac 2TB and that is how I back up my Mac once a month.
    I feel bad he is such a nice boss. But I really do not like installing things in my Mac that are unnecessary or that might be
    harmful to my Mac.
