I have Vista Home Basic on my laptop and want to use it on my Imac. How do I get it on with no disks, as it came preloaded?

I have a windows laptop with Vista Home Basic and need to use windows for course work.  How can I get it onto my Mac as I have no disks.  Laptop arrived with Vista pre-loaded.
Thanks

As I have said before, AppleHFS.sys for one thing can interfere.
MacDrive or Paragon HFS help.
Paragon works
So yes if you can then use Paragon or something, though only one person has come here and really said they used Disk Utility. Not enough to endorse.
Windows 8 CP is what I use and it is more stable reliable etc etc than Windows 7 was on Mac Pro 1,1.
But why pop into someone's thread.

  • I have Photoshop 7.0 on my laptop and want to install on my desktop

    I have Photoshop 7.0 on my laptop and want to install it on my desktop but i can't locate the serial number. Adobe can't locate it either. Is there another way to transfer it from my laptop to my desktop?

    No, the installation is computer specific.

    It's a Finder feature, related to Quick Look. You can hit the space bar in the file list to get a preview.
    If that doesn't work, you may have an issue witha  preference file or similar. I find rebuilding the launch databse works quite well resilving tis kind of thing, as does trashing Finder preferences

    Hello Mac4541,
    It sounds like you may have reinstalled OS X on your 2008 MacBook and iPhoto didn't get installed.
    Given the specifications of your unit, iPhoto may be on a separate install DVD.

  • My home page only displays computers and settings icons. No other icon. How can I get other icons?

    My home page only displays computers and settings icons. No other icon. How can I get other icons?

    Looks like a sudden error being thrown up on many ATV2 units.  Yesterday, mine was fine and today I now only have 2 icons like so many other posters.
    No amounts of restarts or restores, disconnecting and reconnecting power, restarting routers, re-logging in to iTunes has any effect at all.

  • I downloaded movies onto my iPad to watch when I was abroad, I synchronised with my laptop and now they are not on my iPad how can I get them back?

    I downloaded movies onto my iPad to watch when I was abroad, I synchronised with my laptop and now they are not on my iPad how can I get them back?

    If the shows are in fact still on the pad, they will be found in the videos app, not the music or I tunes app.  Look there and see if they are still there.
    If you don't see them there, go to the searchlight screen ( farthest left home page) and type in the name of one of the shows.  If it is on the pad, hiding somewhere, this will find it.
    If they are not there, they should not be using up space.
    To get them back onto your pad, plug in and sync again.  Make sure you transfer purchases first.   Before you sync, take a look at the video tab in your I tunes, and check what you want and don't want synced.

  • I have made with iweb a website on my macbook, now i want to change it, through my imac, how can I get in the program , which is on the mac book. On both computer I have Lion

    You need to transfer your domain.sites file from your MacBook to your iMac.  This is the file where iWeb stores all info and can be found under User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites.
    Transfer this file from your MacBook to the same place on your iMac and double click the domain.sites file and iWeb will open it on your iMac and you can update your site from there too.

    Hold down the mouse button when shutting down,  If that doesn't work, try holding the Mac sideways and shaking gently, then if you see the edge of the disc, use tweezers to pull it out.

    Hi printspat,
    From what I gather, you have a payment method selected for your iTunes Store account which isn’t being accepted when setting up Family Sharing.
    Take a look at the he article linked below provides, which provides a lot of great information about Family Sharing, and make sure you're trying to use a valid payment method for setting up Family Sharing.
    Set up Family Sharing - Apple Support
    One adult in the family—the family organizer—can set up Family Sharing for the group from their iOS device or Mac. When you set up Family Sharing, you'll be asked to confirm that you agree to pay for purchases initiated by the family members you invite and that you have a valid payment method on file. Valid payment methods for setting up Family Sharing include credit cards and debit cards.* 
    Cheers,

  • I purchased (and have now deleted Aperture from my computer and want to use only iPhoto.  How do I delete Aperture albums but keep the pics in iPhoto?

    I purchased (and have now deleted) Aperture from my computer and want to use only iPhoto.  (Aperture was simply too much program for me.)  How do I delete Aperture albums but keep the pics in iPhoto?  Please accept my apologies in advance if this is a dumber than dumb question.  I simply want all vestiges of Aperture to go away with losing all my albums.  Any help would be appreciated!

    Aperture added  a second view to your library.
    You now have an additional section in your Source list , called events. But this section lists exactly the same events that you are seeing in the "Events" view. Don't delete anything from there, or you will delete your photos. But you can press the "Hide" button to collaps that section. But someday you may want to use this list. It makes it very easy to move photos between events.

  • HT204053 how do I change email address on icloud for my phone?  somehow I have another email address on my laptop and want them to be the same plus I don't know the old/phone password

    How do I change the email associated with Icloud on my phone.  It's not my mail apple id, its and old one and I don't know the password anymore.  I have another apple ID associated with my ipad and laptop and the icloud works great with that.  I just did the new iphone update and now its constantly asking for the icloud/apple id - the one I don't even know the password for anymore and it keeps popping up all the time. 

    If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple IDand that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
    This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
    However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
    The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.
