I have an IMac with Windows 7 Ultimate and I want to install Imac sistem operation

How can i backup my Imac operation sistem, i dont like windows anymore!
thank you kind

It appears that your iMac shipped with OS X 10.6.6 which came on disc. If you have the original grey discs put disc 1 into the superdrive and restart while holding the C key. Choose your language and at the next screen from the menu bar select Disk Utility. Erase and reformat the hard drive and be sure to select Mac OS extended journaled and for the format select GUID partition scheme. Quit Disk Utility and go back to the installer screen and install OS X. Whenit's done run software update to get to 10.6.8 then access the Mac App Store and you can upgrade to Mavericks if you choose.
If you don't have the discs you can use Internet Recovery IF the firmware was upgraded to allow it before someone erased the Mac partition and installed windows. If the firmware wasn't upgraded you'll need to contact Apple and get a set of original install discs.

  • I have Lion on an external hard-drive and I want to install it on the internal disk

    I have Lion on an external hard-drive and I want to install it on the internal disk. How can I proceed?

    I recently completed a clean install of Lion on an internal SSD. After wiping it clean, I used a thumb drive with SL on it to boot and then another thumb drive with Lion on it. It worked just fine. The only thing to be aware of is that if you use the thumb to install Lion from... it will not install a recovery partition and you'll have to use the thumb in the future.
    That's what I wanted anyway so it's working out just fine. Good luck.
    I should add... I used the SL thumb to actually boot from and used Disk Utlities to wipe the internal SSD. It does work and there are Apple posts that can guide you through the thumb drive process. I used copycat to create both the SL boot and Lion.

  • I bought a new pc with windows 8.1. I want to install photoshop elements 10 (nl version) on my new computer, but I lost my license key. I deleted everything from my old computer. What do I have to do?

    On my old PC with windows XP I was working with photoshop elements 10 ( NL version).

    The problem is that I can't find my license key. The old PC is gone so I have a problem activating photoshop elements 10 on my new PC.

    You can check you Adobe account online to see if the serial number is registered under your account.  If not then your only option will likely be to contact Adobe Support directly thru chat to see if they can provide you with a/the serial number. For them to do so will require you being able to prove ownership.

  • I have a PC with Windows 7 Professional and Adobe Reader.  Adobe keeps auto changing all dates in a PDF.  HELP!!

    I am trying to complete an interactive PDF for an insurance company.  The form has several dates that need to be completed, like my DOB, date of training and date of current medical certificate.  If I enter data in one of the date fields, it automatically changes all the dates.  Obviously, these dates are all different, but it will not allow me to make them different.  This is also happening for the address fields.  I need to be able to input my personal address and the address where I completed my training.  I have already went to: Edit- Preferences- Form and unchecked the "automatically calculate field values" box, and  turned "auto complete" off.  Still automatically changing all similar fields with same data!!  Please help!!

    It's happening because the creator of the form did a terrible job at it and just copy&pasted the fields, which means they are identical copies of one another. You can't do anything to prevent that from happening. Report the issue to the insurance company. They need to sort it out on their end.

  • I have DHCPand DNS services in a router and I want to install domain controller

    Hello
    I have a sonic wall router managing the DHCP and DNS services for a my network and wanna keep it doing this.
    I have a computer running windows server 2012 standard and installed active directory along with DNS. I also went to the DNS manager of these server and forwarded the DNS addresses of my router.  For some reason I'm not able to join a client computer
    into the DC.
    I got this error:
    An Active directory domain controller (AD DC) for the domain "mydomain.ca"  could not be contacted.
    Is it possible to configure active directory using the DNS and DHCP services of my router? or Am I doing something wrong?
    Can somebody helping me with this matter?
    Thanks.

    Hello,
    if the DNS server on your router is able to provide all required zones, SRV records and options that the DCs require there is no problem using 3rd party DNS servers.
    But I would recommend that you u se the DC as DNS server also and just run the installation during the promotion process.
    All clients MUST use the domain internal DNS servers on the NIC NONE else otherwise you will run into trouble. Internet access will be done via the FORWARDERS on the DNS server properties in the DNS management console on the Windows Server.

  • How to get Illustrator 10 to run on windows 7 ultimate and not in XP mode?

    I have been running Illustrator 10 on windows 7 pro with no problems. I upgraded to a new computer with windows 7 Ultimate and Illustrator will only run in XP mode. It will not open my existing files stating that they were created in a newer version.
    How can Illustrator be run in windows 7 Ultimate?

    Actually, if you go to the program .exe file (usually in Program files(x86)\Adobe\Illustrator 10\Support Files\Contents\Windows).
    Right click on it and select properties.
    Select the Compatibility tab.
    In the section "Compatibility mode".
    Check the box "Run this program ...."
    From the dropdown list select Windows 7
    In the "Settings" section
    Check "Disable visual themes" and "Disable desktop composition"
    This will allow Illustrator to run normally in Windows 7 Pro and Ultimate 64bit systems.

  • I bought macbook pro at cash america used and loaded with windows 7 ultimate by boot camp.My questions is it has mountain lion loaded but original ower has name with password so how can I reload so I can sign on as administrator for downloads and upgrades

    I bought a 13 inch macbook pro9.2 at Cash America with windows 7 Ultimate with boot camp program.
    The Mac op sytem has Mountain Lion installed but the previous ower has his name and password attached to it and can only use as guest.
    My question is how do I get around this to be administrator to reload software so i can use mountain Lion,and not loose the windows op .

    If you reformat the partition that contain Mountain Lion and reinstall Mountain Lion, it should not effect the Windows pratition.
    Have said that I suggest you backup everything you might want to save just in case.

  • Has anyone sucessfully used the new Winclone 3.2 to backup and restore  Bootcamp partittion with Windows 7 Ultimate on MBP with Lion 10.7.3?

    Bought late 2011 MBP 17" with Bootcamp partition (Windows 7 Ultimate) and Lion OS 10.7.3
    I am trying to make a backup of Bootcamp partition before I start using my laptop but it proves to be a difficult task.
    I don’t have any installation disk for Windows 7 and I am afraid that, if a disaster strikes and I loose the HDD, my copy of Windows will be gone. 
    The only way to restore Windows partition according to what I read so far is to do the following:
    • Use Windows to backup data from BootCamp Partition
    • Reinstall OS Lion formatting full hard drive in the process
    • Use BootCamp Assistant to create BootCamp partition
    • Install Windows 7 on bootcamp partion
    • Use Windows 7 to restore data from backup file created in the first step
    The only problem is that I don't any image or disk to re-install Windows 7. With Windows 7 I can create only 'repair disk' (for what it is worth) or system image but according to other users it would format the whole drive including OS Lion partition when reinstalling
    Winclone 3.2 seems like the answer to my prayers but would like to hear from the users if it worked for them (most imprtantly, did the restore work?). 

    Got the response from Winclone regarding my confusion in step 18 of the procedure to create bootcamp backup.  The message displayed on the screenshot under step 18 can be ignored.  It refers to creating a Windows partition using Boot Camp Assistant but in fact this partition has already been created in earlier steps using Disk Utility. 
    I bought Winclone 3.3 as it promises to make backup and restore of Bootcamp partition with Windows 7 on it really easy, the steps to do this task are easy and well documented, and the owner of the program was very prompt responding to my queries.
    I performed the following as an insurance against disaster prior to creating Winclone image:
    Since my Windows 7 came pre-installed but without any installation disk I used Windows 7 to create 'Windows 7 system image' . From what I read on forums the system image created using Windows 7 apparently can't be used to easily restore Boot Camp partition (as it wipes out OS X in the process).  I created this image as a last resort backup rescue - some users reported that it can be used to recover Windows but the process is painful and involve a number of steps, swapping hard drives, and paid software to assist in the process.  I did not bother to make notes on this process - thanks to Winclone I am not suppose to need this backup if everything works as promised
    I also created 'Windows 7 repair disk' prior to running Winclone.  Not sure what the value of it will be but again, this is something I did just in case I need it in the future
    Then I installed Winclone 3.3 and created Windows 7 Ultimate Boot Camp image without any problems (on MBP running Lion 10.7.4).  My Winclone image file of 150GB Windows 7 Boot Camp partition prior to installing any programs and without any data on it ended up being nearly 8GB (saved to the external USB HDD).
    I have not restored and don't plan to restore the Winclone 3.3 image just to test if it works (don't want to risk loosing my perfectly well running Windows 7 in case of any disaster).  So ultimately only time or experience of other users will tell me if I spent my money well buying Winclone 3.3.  I  know it worked for you JBLTZ so hopefully it will work for me when I need it one day.
    Cheers

  • T61 Freezes with Windows 7 Ultimate

    I have had my Lenovo T61 7662CT since May 2007. It used to run fine with Windows Vista Home Premium. Until I installed Windows 7 Ultimate. Generally it operates fine, but every now an then (about every 15-30 minutes) the OS just freezes, there cursor turns into the busy icon (rotating ring thingy) and everything becomes non responsive. The freeze lasts for about 45 secs - 1 minute and then it unfreezes and goes back to normal. It does not happen during any specific activity, I've seen it happen during video streaming, page scrolling, switching through browser tabs, going through my desktop based photo gallery. It's terribly annoying.
    This is what I have tried and has not worked for me:
    - I have tried re-installing Windows 7 more than two times but the problem persists.
    - I updated almost all my drivers (incl. NVIDIA graphics driver) to the latest one from the lenovo t61 driver downloads but the problem would not go away.
    - Halted all spyware and virus scanning services running in the background.
    - Even after a fresh windows install (with no extra applications installed), I see this issue.
    Btw. Windows Vista and Ubuntu run fine (and even Windows 7 Beta ran fine).
    Hoping anyone else seen this issue with a Lenovo T61 7662CT and has found a solution. I love my laptop but this issue drives me nuts (and please don't make me go back to Vista)
    Thanks

  • F 2210 Printer quit and can't be fixed with Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit

    HP DeskJet F2210 with Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit.
    I have tried the Print Doctor to no avail.
    I tried the driver remover program. It just says "not responding".
    I tried the Printer remover program twice but the printer is still listed.
    I tried the on line installation. It sits doing nothing for 12 hours.
    I have tried the Print Manager to remove the drivers and it says it can not.
    I have tried the Print Manager to remove the printer to no avail.
    Trying to reinstall the drivers, it just stops and the window disappears after a few minutes.
    BUT, hooking it up to my lap top with Windows Vista and it works.
    What can I do other than replace it with a different brand?

    Hello Den942, and welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see you are having issues with the software on your Windows 7 machine.  I would like to try and help you find a resolution.
    I would suggest Uninstalling the Printer Software.  If you run into any issues during the uninstall, I would suggest using the windows tool on how to Uninstall or change a program.
    Once it is uninstalled, I would suggest putting the computer into clean boot mode within the Microsoft configuration.  I am including a document on How to perform a clean boot in Windows.
    Once the printer is in clean boot mode, I would use this link to ensure that you have the most up to date software when installing the HP Deskjet F2200/F2224 All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Driver.
    Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

  • The apple store is so unhelpful. I have an iMac computer operating on Mac OSX 10.5.8. I want to upgrade to the latest Mountain Lion operating system so I can work with the iCloud on my computer and download my email. I can't seem to purchase this on-line

    The apple store is so unhelpful. I have an iMac computer operating on Mac OSX 10.5.8. I want to upgrade to the latest Mountain Lion operating system so I can work with the iCloud on my computer and download my emails. I can't seem to purchase this on-line as it keeps telling me to go to the app store. I haven't got the app store on my computer as I am told I need iCloud for which I need the new operating system, which I can't download or purchase as I am sent back to an instruction telling mee to go to the app store icon.
    How difficult can it be to simply purchase the software on-line have it shipped to you so you can install it, in the event it cannot be downloaded as it appears it can't be based on my curent operating systems being Mac OSX 10.5.8.

    Whilst Apple have withdrawn Snow Leopard from download, you can still get it from Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (if you are in the USA) and they will supply the SL DVD for $30.  You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion from the same number.
