How to uninstall Lion OS and install Win7?

I have a MacAir with 64Gb.
to fully utilise the space, i will like uninstall Lion and install Win7 only.
can anyone advise how to do it with bootcamp? if not possible, w/o bootcamp?
thanks

Do you have 10.6 Client? Does it boot/run on the latest Mini?
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
From there you can reformat or erase the Disk

How to Uninstall Old Versions and Install Version 6 Update 13 of Java

When I try to install Version 6 Update 13 (tried it by downloading file and doing a manual install), get this message:
bin\awt.dll:Old File not found. However, a file of the same name was found. No update done since file contents do not match.
Have tried to unintall Version 12 from "Add/Remove Programs" with no luck.
Shall I unistall all Java programs and try to reinstall?

Bailey,
This is a bit of a pain the arrse but... I suggest you disable java in all your browsers in (tools ~ options) and then reboot to ensure the java plugin is not loaded. Now try uninstalling through add-remove-programs.
If add-remove-programs doesn't work then manually delete the JRE & JDK directories in windows explorer and then run a registry-cleaner (google it, there's a few good free ones, I use registry-mechanic and crapcleaner (yes that's really what it's called)) to clean-up dangling guids, etc. Also check add-remove-programs... if any of the old Java installs still appear then try uninstalling.. they should throw some sort of "installation not found" error and remove themselves from the programs list.
Once all the old versions of Java have been removed then install the latest version, which should install it's plugins in your browser(s) and activate itself... look in (tools ~ options) again.
Check your PATH, JAVA_HOME, etc environment variables... just type "set" at the command prompt... update them to point to your new JRE (and your new JDK if you have one).
If you have a CLASS_PATH variable I recommend you copy&paste it's value into a desktop/class_path.txt and delete the variable, coz it's worse than useless.
Cheers. Keith.

How to uninstall Java 7 and install Java 6

I recently updated to OS X Lion 10.7.5, I have very important application that run Java 6, but the update removed Java 6 and the Java Preferences app and replaced it with Java 7, I am very unhapp with this and have searched online for nearly 4 hours for a fix to my problem. I just want Java 6 back, and no, I don't want to Archive and reinstall, and I don't want to pay $20 for Mountain Lion update. I want Java 6 back.

That's not really true. It removed the browser plugin and if you try to replace it you will be taken to Oracle for Java 7, but it's not clear what happens when you do that. Check in System Preferences for the Java preference pane and see what it says. Type "java -version" in Termina and see what it says. Does it replace all of Java 6, or just the plugin with Java 7.

Firefox 4 wont even start up now. how do i uninstall firefox 4 and install previous version

want to know how to uninstall firefox 4 and install previous version. also where to get download of previous version

Your problem is caused by the Ask Toolbar which you have installed. There are compatibility issues between Ask and Firefox at the moment.
Please do the following to ensure a clean installation. 
#Use Internet Explorer to download Firefox 4.0.1 from this link: [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/?ref=logo Download Firefox 4.0.1] and choose "'''Save'''" when you see the prompt. Then save it to your desktop. ''Do not choose "Run"''. 
#Then go to Add/Remove Programs, scroll down to "Mozilla Firefox" and remove it, choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc., (''don't checkmark the box''). 
#Then reboot and delete the folder called "Mozilla Firefox" at this location: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox 
#Finally run the installation file you downloaded to the desktop earlier. 
Your bookmarks, customizations etc., are maintained in a different location and will become available to you again once you complete the installation. 
Next, click the Firefox button and go to Add-ons, then Extensions. Find the Ask Toolbar in there and click "Remove".
If you would still prefer to use the previous secure version, use this download link instead of the one to v4.0.1: [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html Download Firefox v3.6.17] Otherwise the installation procedure and removal of the Ask Toolbar is the same.

Hello,
I have installed mountain lion on my macbook pro ,but it made my mac very slow. Would someone please tell me how to uninstall this one and reinstall snow leopard? I tried to do it by my original CDs but macbook pro didn't let me to do it.
Thanks

It would be easier to just fix whatever is making your machine slow.
I wrote a little diagnostic program to help show what might be causing these problems. Download EtreCheck from http://www.etresoft.com/download/EtreCheck.zip, run it, and paste the results here.

Are you talking about changing the keyboard layout when you are working in Windows? If so, you need to tell people how you are running it (bootcamp, parallels, other) and whether you have already done stuff like

How can I uninstall iDVD '08 and install iDVD '06?

There's a reported bug among iDVD '08 users where burning
large projects are resulting in audio synch problems near the
end of the burned DVD.
In other words, the audio slowly goes out of synch towards the
end of burned projects.
This is a problem inherent with 'DVD '08.
I tried uninstalling iDVD '08 and replacing with '06 but it doesn't
work. You try that and iDVD will not launch at all.
Even tried to partition my drive and install iLife '06 to the partition
but the system will not let me.
Anyone have a solution how to completely uninstall iLife '08
components and install iLife '06?
Thanks

I upgraded to iLife 08 from 06 (bad move). I couldn't install iMovie because my Mac is too old (must be Intel-based or comparable). iDVD didn't work--the document window was always black, even with a theme selected. The Virtual Band function in GarageBand did nothing whatsoever. I trashed the '08 applications, moved all Preferences files to my desktop, reinstalled iLife '06. Now, iDVD won't launch--just flashes the menu bar and exits back to the Finder. So, I have several DVD projects on my system that I cannot finish because I cannot reinstall iLife '06 (like the originator of this problem, "How can I uninstall iDVD '08 and install iDVD '06?") I hope someone has an answer as this is frustrating and costly to my small business.

how to uninstall lion 10.7.4

To add to Frank's post .... Or you can boot from the install disks that came with your system, use Disk Utilities to erase the Lion volume and reinstall your prior OS. This assumes you want to remove Lion completely. Back up your system prior to doing this.

I have a HP Touchsmart Laptop. Can I uninstall Windows 7 and install windows 8.1 ?

I want to uninstall windows 7 and install windows 8.1 on my hp touchsmart. Will the touch features work on teh new installation?

Hi,
Yes and no. Why ? because it will work with the right driver, won't work if can't find the right driver. How can we know you can get a right driver when we don't know your computer. HP has dozens if not hundreds of models/products called Touchsmart.
Regards.

How to uninstall lion

Is there anything official from APPLE on how to uninstall LION ? My Macbook shuts down if I try startup from a Snow Leapard disc. Can I just drag the entire image from my iMAC to an erased Macbook ?

Thanks for the info. Here's what I did by copying my iMAC image (SL) onto my Lionized Laptop: Connected firewire from my Laptop to my 27 inch iMAC, put the laptop in Target Disk Mode (Startup Disk System Preferences), booted the iMAC and used Disk Utility to ERASE and Restore the Laptop with my iMAC image.

UNINSTALL OLD HP AND INSTALL NEW ONE

I want to uninstall my HP 2050 and install new HP 4510. How do I do this? I am 84 alone visually impaired and need simplest explanation. thank you.

Hello @airlinelady , I hope you are well
I will do my best to help you uninstall your 2050 and install your new printer.
Before I provide any instructions, I will need to know which Operating System you are running on your computer. All you need to do is click this link - Whats My OS, and when the windows pops up, it will tell you which Operating System you are running (Windows 7 for example).
Also, I cannot find the printer you mentioned you want to install. Please check the model number of the printer and please clarify the information. This link will help you find the model number: How Do I Find My Model Number?
Please write me back with those two pieces of information and I will help with uninstalling and reinstalling your printers.
Have a wonderful day

Correct Procedure for uninstalling v4.2 and installing v4.1

Sorry to bother you with a concern I and others have currently, but I'm trying to find out the process to uninstall a newer version of lightroom (4.2) and revert back to 4.1. I have been searching for this info and have found some info that tells me to uninstall 4.2 and install 4.1 via this link http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5392 but I have a question regarding the uninstall process.
If I uninstall 4.2 does that uninstall the entire program? Would I need to reinstall it completely after the uninstallation of 4.2? Or could I simply re-install 4.1 via the link?

Aliciaverde88 for Photoshop Lightroom each of the updates is actually installing the entire program. So once you have uninstalled the entire program you can then reinstall from the link which you posted.
Thanks for posting in the forum btw. This allows other users to benefit from your inquiry.
