i can't boot windows in my iMac late 2011 as my internal cd reader does not work

Which copy or version of Windows? and how where was it purchased?
my window installed itself perfectly on another computer.
One copy and you want to activate on two computers?
With 16GB, it will try to create 16GB hibernation file, 24GB page file, and need 20-30GB for the OS, plus room for temp, cache, applications, 9GB just temp to install SP1 update(s). 
did you create 80GB or larger partition?
also, some macs with ssd + hard drive have issues, and of course you need Windows 7 64-bit home premium (Pro to use more).
OWC has up to 32GB, not cheap.

  • I keep getting the message: "what should firefox do with this file" in Windows XP every time I want to download a file, e.g., adobe, excel, etc. How can this annoying message be deleted? The check box to "open file automatically" does not work!

    cor-el,
    Thanks for your prompt reply. However, the sources you gave do not seem to apply exactly to my situation. I have attached some screenshots that show what the dialogue box looks like for a pdf download, and what my settings in the Apps panel of Options are. You will note in the first screenshot that I have checked the box to handle this file type automatically; however, the next time I try to download a file of that type, the same dialogue box appears looking exactly like the one shown, so checking the "automatic" option appears to do nothing. The files to be downloaded from my Gmail messages are not generic or altered file types - they are shown as pdf, doc, docx, etc. So while your intent was good, your post did not help. Thanks anyway.

    There is no Exposé in OS X Mountian Lion, Apple removed it for "Mission Control" and yes it is a confusing mess.

  • Can I get rid of 36? It installed an update and now firefox does not work at all

    firefox 36 is seriously broken
    It updated on my computer and now does not work at all. I've tried all the suggestions and no help.....going back to IE

    Hi wskossack, I am sorry to hear that you are having problems with Firefox 36. I am also sorry that we have not been able to get that working for you yet.
    If what you really want is to uninstall Firefox we can do that. Of course I have to ask if you would be willing to let my help you to get the most up to date version of Firefox working. But, Firefox is all about the ability to customize. If you want we can install the last version of Firefox and you can use that until the next version comes out or while we work to get Firefox 36 working for you. I will try to cover every option in my reply.
    First I will cover uninstalling Firefox. If you want to look at the [[Uninstall Firefox from your computer|article click here]] this can be done in about 7 steps
    I would recommend that you completely uninstall Firefox and install it again. This will most likely fix any problems you have right now. Because you are asking how to do this I am going to assume that you have not tried this.
    If you have Vista or Windows 7:
    1) close any open Firefox windows.
    2) from the start menu click on control panel
    3) click on uninstall a program
    4) from this list chose Firefox
    5) click on uninstall (this is located turds the top)
    If the Uninstall Wizard does not run, you can start it manually by running helper.exe, which is located in one of these locations by default:
    (32-bit Windows) C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\uninstall\helper.exe
    (64-bit Windows) C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\uninstall\helper.exe
    6) in the Firefox uninstall wizard click next and on the next page click uninstall then click finish
    7) to remove other files and folders that may not be removed by the uninstall, you must manually delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations by default:
    (32-bit Windows) C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    (64-bit Windows) C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    The uninstaller does not remove any user data such as history or bookmarks. To completely remove this data, you must manually delete the Firefox folder containing your user profile:
    Click the Windows Start button.
    Type %APPDATA% in the search field and press enter to open the hidden Roaming folder.
    Open the Mozilla folder
    Delete the Firefox folder.
    Now I am going to go over how to get the last version of Firefox installed on your computer. If you want to look at the [[Install an older version of Firefox|article click here]] . If you decide that this is what you want to do please look at the article for some impotent security information.
    Firefox 35.0.1 was the last version of Firefox and you can get it by [https://download-installer.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/firefox/releases/35.0.1/win32/en-US/Firefox%20Setup%2035.0.1.exe clicking here] . The link is also in the article. If you do this you will have to disable the auto update. To do this go to options, then go to advance. Under advance there will be a sub tab. You want to go to update. Then you can select to never check or to have it tell you when there is an update.
    So the only thing left is for me to help you with any problems you are having with Firefox 36. I hope you will give me a chance. In any case, if you need any more information or help with anything that I went over please let me know.

  • Just got an iMac 400 MHz Slot loader. Slot loader does not work.

    Ok, So I just bought an iMac 400 MHx G3 with AirPort Cart, 364 megs of ram, and It has OS 9.2 on it. I want to put panther on it, but the slot loading drive does not work right. It will suck in the disk, and the loader will make the "Rmm" sounds, and it spits it back out. I have took it apart, but I don't know. Can I use a try loader from my PowerMac G3? Can I get a slot load drive for a cheap price? Can I fix the current one? Thanks

    Remember you must update the firmware from OS9 BEFORE attempting to install OS.

    Failure to do so can leave you with a non-working computer.

  • Since upgrading to Yosemite, I can no longer print to my Kodak AiO.  The fix on Kodak site does not work.

    Since upgrading my Macbook to Yosemite 10, I can no longer print to my Kodak AiO 5250.  The fix on Kodak site with Terminal does not prompt to password like it says it will.  Macbook has all available upgrades completed.  Printer works with a PC. 

    This is where I found the Kodak fix:  http://support.en.kodak.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/49247/selected/true
    I'm not really comfortable in 'Terminal' but tried it.  Nothing happened after pasting in the first command.  The fix says it will ask for password. 
    I see now this seems to be a pretty common problem, I would have thought Apple would fix it with an update for the number of complaints I've found.  Since Kodak is in receivership or bankruptcy, I would think it's unlikely they will have any more solutions.  I feel like Yosemite stole my printer.

  • How can I uninstall I.E. 11? and install I.E. 10? 11 does not work with Sharepoint and other applications

    Windows Technical Preview for Enterprise does not give me an option to uninstall I.E. 11 or it does not list it as an update in installed updates. HELP! I need to be able to work in Sharepoint!  Any help is appreciated.

    Hi astexas,
    I would add some information:
    Uninstall Internet Explorer 11 is possible, but install an Internet Explorer 10 is not an option in Windows 10 Technical Preview, due to this is no such update existed for Windows 10 Technical Preview.

  • How can I view my app purchases when it keeps sending me to iTunes which does not work on my iPad and yet shows activity?

    I Just received a receipt from the App Store. It was for opening one section of a game when I had already bought the full game. I went to the bottom to check on my purchases. It took me to the App Store for view history. I entered my Apple ID and then it switched me to ITune which doesn't work on my iPad! And yet it showed activity in ITunes. A few months ago I had a purchase show up that I didn't make. I contacted the developers because I love their new products so much and wanted to see if it might be a bug in their system because the confusion was within their games only. I would REALLY like to view my APP STORE history but it only lets me get to the part where you can open the apps that are showing. Is their a way to view my full APP history, with dates, money spent etc? I would love to know how to get there. Thank you, Diane Maya

    Pay attention to the numerous posts on this tonight.....try again tomorrow.

  • I upgrade my iMac to OS X Maverick but my adobe reader does not work anymore. Any tips ?

    This morning I upgraded my SW to OS X. Normally I can scan via my HP printer documents and save them as PDF. With this new SW I am not able and the error says: check if you file is protected. Does anyone has similar problems and/or solutions ?

    Since i installed Maverick I not only have problems with Adobe Reader i have multipal problems with other applications like Google Sketchup, Delta Cad and more. Im not sure if my mac email app is working properly especially because i use a Gmail address rather than @me.com address. Seem that the problem is far reaching.

  • How can I convert web page to PDF? When I upgraded to 4, it does not work.

    Since I upgraded to firefox 4 I can not convert web page to PDF, before there was a place in the upper left corner that said convert to PDF. If there is not a way to do this in 4 then how can I go back to the old firefox. If I can't I guess I will just uninstall FireFox.
