HT5628 I have OSX 10.9.1 on my iMac and want to install Windows 8.1. I've read that people are having problems with 8.1. What should I do?

I'm getting ready to partition my drive and install Windows. I've read that there are wifi and other problems with Windows 8.1. That I should use 8.0. Microsoft does not sell 8.0 anymore. They want you to buy 8.1. What should I do? Any help would be appreciated.

Read the Boot Camp Help first. Boot Camp does not yet support Windows 8.1 http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/system-requirements. If you insist on installing 8.1 use a virtual machine like parallels, Fusion, or VirtualBox.

  • I have been noticing that many people are having problems with Safari 3.2.

    What is going on? Does anyone know? Is Apple aware? I want this fixed because over the last hour, I restarted my computer like about 5 times and then finally decided to use, yeah, Internet Explorer . Safari used to be my favorite browser until around Thanksgiving where they started delivering horrible updates.

    I lived in Maryland for 50 years and really miss the Bay.
    Now what is your question regarding Safari?
    On second thought, you should close this window and post your own question in a new thread since you are posting in the Safari for Windows side of these Discussions pages.

    I bought a new iMac and want to install my copy of CS3 on it. Currently, I have photoshop only loaded on an older G4. After installing the discs I tried to enter the serial number and an alert said the serial was already used. I did have CS3 loaded on a 2007 imac but after the harddrive died it is no longer installed. Can you help?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple,  Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > store, scroll down and tap your ID)

    Here is a copy of the error
    This means : Installation failed.

    The product you want to install is no valid Adobe product and seems to be falsified.

    If your serial number is listed as being valid at http://www.adobe.com/ then I would recommend obtaining a fresh copy of the installation files.  You can find details on how to locate your serial number at Find your serial number quickly - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html.

    Looks like deleting and reinstalling the apps your having the problems with works in some cases

    Hi Flash, Just some info to correct yours. First, not everyone is having a problem with FP 10.1 and there are solutions and reverting to FP 10.0 would not be the first choice. If that was for you, that's fine. If you would read the many many threads here, you would find correct information for users that want to revert back to FP10.
    Also may I suggest you read up on Firefox version 3.6.6 as this is involved sometimes with FP 10.1.
    Lastly, I think it is always better to find out what a user's issues are before offering a solution. Reverting back to FP 10.0 is not for everyone that is having a problem nor should it be.
    If your instructions solved whatever problem you were having, that's great. However, to recommend this to other users that come here for help without knowing what their problems are may not be the best advice, in my opinion.
    There are many other details in the Uninstall Instructions and also the Install Instructions that need to be followed.
    That is why it is better for each user to have their own thread and receive help for their individual issues. This is also based on their computer system configuration.
    Believe me, if there was one fix for all FP 10.1 or any other version issues, it would be posted
    Thanks,
    eidnolb

  • I have Logic on my iMac and want to install it on my new mac book but my mac book doesn't have a dvd drive. I tried to download the upgrade but it looks for an older version. How do I get Logic on the Mac book ?

    I would like to install logic on my new mac book but there is no dvd drive. I tried to downlaod the upgrade but that didn't work. How do I download it for the first time?
    Thanks!

    You can only use the App Store version to reinstall on your new Mac if you bought Logic via the App Store in the first place.... and then it will appear under the Purchases tab in the Mac App Store App so long as you are signed in using the same Apple ID you used to purchase Logic via the App store in the first place.
    If you bought the DVD edition of Logic Studio then you must initially install using those original DVDs to begin with and then update to the latest version of your version of Logic via software updates.
    No DVD drive? Buy an external one.. Amazon do a very cheap basic one that works well..
    or...
    Use Remote Disk if you still have your older Mac which has a built in DVD drive...

  • I note that several people are having problems loading MS Word files into Pages and the answers have not been helpful.  I too, have had this problem recently, whereas a few weeks ago the uploads worked as the manual said.  Now, a MS Word 2 doc is rejected

    Perhaps the problem lies in the version of the Word file.  Does anyone know what versions Pages 09 will accept?  I have re-installed iWorks09, but that did not solve the problem.  My operating system is 10.6.8 and I am current on updates.

    The Word 2 doc is ancient. I wouldn't even know where to find one to test.
    The obvious thing to test is open the documents you previously opened successfully.
    If they still open successfully, then it is highly likely that the version that is the problem.

  • After i downloaded Firefox 7, I cannot open more than one page at a time. I have done everything you suggested about ad-on, etc. Other people are having problems. Can I get reall help with this or should I just reload Firefox 4?

    Firefox 7 is a dud. Cannot open more than one tab at a time, will not open additional pages. Nothing you suggested has worked.
    Can I take down Firefox 7 and reload Firefox 4?
