Imac 2007 and Windows 8

Hello
I have an IMac mid 2007. I have installed Windows 7 via bootcamp. The Mac OS is Mountain Lion. I then upgraded the windows to Windows 8. Everything worked fine at first but now the Boot Camp panel stoped working. I cannot download the latest boot camp because it is for later Imacs. The only version I can get is 4.0. Has anyone expirenced this? The only other issue I can find is that the Bluetooth keyboard states that it is offline.

Any word on an answer for this? Windows 8 is happily running on my 2007 iMac (the MacOS is Mountain Lion). Come on, Apple, it probably wouldn't take that much more effort to add the needed software support. I see no reason to junk an otherwise perfectly operating iMac.

Using Icloud with Outlook 2007 and windows 7, I cannot get my calendar to list the scheduled appointments as it used to do before I cloud. The to do bar just shows no upcoming appointments when my calendar is filled with them. How do I fix this

Since using ICloud with Office 2007 and Windows 7, the to-do-list will not show any appointments. If has the notation that no appointments are available? My calendar is full of appointments. How do I correct this?

I don't have a password on my phone. After attaching the phone to the Windows 7 computer, my DCIM folder is always empty. Here's the solution: While the phone is plugged in to the computer, pick it up and select the Photos application. A dialog box appears and asks if you trust this computer. Obviously, select the "Trust" option. Then the photos will download. If you have a password on your phone, I'm guessing you have to enter it before you open the photo application.

I have a partition on my IMac disk and Windows 7 loaded on one partition. I tried to open and W7 will not open and cannot repair itself. Is there a diagnostic/disk repair from Apple that I can try before reloading W7?

Csound1 What Ive been trying to explain is that I have been running bootcamp, I open the app where the first screen is the introduction, i hit continue, the first time I select "download the latest windows support software fromm Apple" then I return and instead select "Install Windows 7." Then hit continue. The third screen is where I "Create a Partition for Windows" I set Windows to 80 gigs then hit INSTALL. As stated before Bootcamp cannot find the install drivers saying "The installer disc could not be found." My windows software is on a USB drive not a disc, I tried using a virtual disc reader to make it appear that the windows software was running on a disc, still no luck. What I would like to know is how to install windows on bootcamp.

IMac 2013 and Windows 8.1 Connectivity

Up until I installed Yosemite, I could connect my new Windows 8.1 computer to my iMac external hard drives. ( I have 5 of them hooked up to the iMac) and could access all of my files.) without a problem. Now I can't access not 1 one of them. I can get into the iMac from the Windows computer and see the hard drives, but as soon as I click the hard drives the green line runs across the screen and none of my files appear. I have gone into the settings to make sure I have sharing turned on and everything seems to look ok. I have searched the boards and haven't found an answer or maybe I have over looked one. Is there anyone out there who has some insight to my problem? Thanks in advance. Dave.

Hi,
What error did you exactly get? What does "it won't work" mean?
If you can't setup the account, let me know in which step you have the problem.
If you can setup the account successfully, is the issue that you can't send/receive emails?
I need to know the details above in order to provide further assistance.
We can use Remote Connectivity Analyzer to test if there's any connection issue:

Imac 2007 and maverick will be compatible

With all the description of maverik, I have the impreion that my imac 2007 dual core will roon better, or this will only apply to i5 up cpu. Will I have full compatibiliy will the apps? thank!

OS X Mavericks has got the same requirements as Mountain Lion. Just open System Information or System Profiler app (in /Applications/Utilities) and check your model identifier. If it's iMac7,1 or a higher number, your computer is compatible.
We don't know anything more about OS X Mavericks, so you will have to wait until the final version is released to know if your computer will work properly. Note that this version includes a huge number of performance improvements and a better memory management, apart from OpenGL 4 compatibility and more. See > http://www.apple.com/osx/preview

Imac 2007 and bluetooth setup

Hi,
I just bought a pre-owned imac 2007. The computer is rebooted/re-installed and I am now sitting with the welcome screen before me. Is there a way to pair the bluetooth keyboard and mouse at this stage or do I need a USD set to finalize the setup?
Thanks,
Emil

Is iMac, Bootcamp and Windows XP 100% a PC

My friend and his wife own an accounting practice with 4 staff.
They use IRIS Accountancy Practice Software, which itself uses the latest SQL Server technology and Microsoft Windows XP.
He has a PC at home, which his wife uses to work on the office system.
He needs to replace a PC and is attracted to the iMac for home – attractive, space saving, etc.
He is not technical and relies 100% on third party support who also supply his PC’s.
IRIS and the support company say the IRIS software will not run on Apple.
I have tried to persuade them that with an iMac, Bootcamp and Microsoft Windows XP he will be running IRIS on a PC not on an Apple. Am I correct?
Does anybody have experience (good or bad) of such a set up?
Is the iMac with Bootcamp and XP, 100% a PC? This is a business decision and he will not buy the iMac without 100% confidence.

MacBook Pro was rated as one of the top three Vista laptops and supports 64-bit versions.
I think running on Apple meant "doesn't run on PowerPC" actually, and there are programs of course that aren't ported to OS X.
A lot of IT organizations run servers as virtual environment to better use idle resources and lower costs. Apple's Xserve is often used for running Windows 2008 or any other flavor.
You might even want to look at VMware products and run XP inside OS X.
You can't run OS X as a VM except in OS X server, which is a shame, great for testing.
Your iMac is Intel Mac.
Compaq was one of the first, along with a German company, to provide "100% IBM Compatible" ISA hardware. Eventually, it became "PC" rather than the longer name, microprocessor (with mini and mainframe being the other two main architectures).

Word 2007 and Windows 7

When opening a document from My Documents, first I am asked if I want to give MS Word permission to make changes on my computer. Then an error message, without a code, "There is a problem sending the commandto the program." To use Word I have to start the program and then open a file. I did not have this problem with Win 7 Beta.
I have run the troubleshooter and checked for compatability. Each time it detects a problem but no fix has worked.
I have uninstalled Office 2007, re-installed, repaired and have installed Office SP2 and nothing has worked.
Any ideas???

Important This article contains information about modifying the registry. Before you modify the registry, make sure to back it up and make sure that you understand how to restore the registry if a problem occurs. For information about how to back up, restore, and edit the registry.
SYMPTOMS
When you use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) to send commands to Microsoft Office Word 2003, your custom program may not be able to come to the foreground. If you try to switch focus away from the Word 2003 window, Word 2003 will automatically come to the foreground again. You cannot switch from the Word 2003 document or minimize the Word 2003 window while the DDE commands are being sent to Word 2003.
CAUSE
This problem occurs because every time that Word 2003 obtains a WM_DDE_EXECUTE message from the calling program, it calls the SetForegroundWindow API to force itself into the foreground. As the DDE caller continues to automate Word 2003 through DDE, you will not be able to switch to another application because Word 2003 will come back into the foreground.
RESOLUTION
This problem was first fixed in a hotfix that is now contained in a service pack. If you installed the latest Office 2003 service pack, you do not have to install the hotfix.

Synching older Palm handheld with Outlook 2007 and Windows 7

I have a Palm M515 running Palm OS 4.1. I just purchased a new computer, running Windows 7 and Office 2007. Although I transferred my old files, I needed to reinstall the Palm software from the disc. Otherwise, my synch cradle is connected as it was under Windows XP--i.e., with a USB connection. The only hint I received may be a message that it is still searching for the COM 1 port. Is there any hope for me to reestablish the ability to synch in this situation?

Printer (Canon Pixma iP6600d) setup help iMac, TC, and Windows XP laptop

So here's my issue: I have my Canon printer connected to my time capsule. It shows up in airport utility as being connected. I have it set up on my iMac (ethernet connection to the TC) as the default printer, and there are no issues. I have a windows XP laptop (work computer) connected via wireless to the internet via the TC (Airport). Bonjour, running on the windows laptop does not see/recognize any available printers when I run the wizard. So, even though it appears to be set up as a shared printer, I can't get to it wirelessly from my PC. Please help!

Open Control Panel > Windows Firewall. If you have the firewall enabled, check that the setting "Don't allow exceptions", located under the General tab, is not enabled.
Also, if the firewall is enabled, click the Exceptions tab and ensure you can see Bonjour in the list and it is enabled (tick in the box).
Actually, as a brief test, you could disable the firewall to see if this is the cause of the printer not appearing. A working PC will show the Airport printer immediately after searching.

IMac 2011 and Windows XP. Everything works fine. Little problem there.

Everything works fine.
There is one small problem. The sound is not connected to external speakers.
The sound remains on the built-in speakers.
Here we can see, SPDIF shines red light.
Does anyone solved this problem?

All drivers and devices were installed correctly
Sorry, I write this from iPad, it works not very good.

Is anyone else having frequent crashing with iphoto 11 while editing photos? We have 2 imacs (2007) and 1 Macbook pro (2010) and all three exhibit the same spinning rainbow wheel and crash after 3-7 edits.

all macs are running 10.6.7
all have 4gb ram
I saw some posts about the early intel nvidia issues, but the fix mentioned was 10.6.7 which we already have.
same library worked perfectly before iphoto 11.

I have OsX 10.6.8, and imac 2007-08, and enough disk space to download yosemite but still Apple tells something is wrong and generates a list of maybes but not a specific reason. Any ides as to how to pin point the problem of the upgrade?

Want to upgrade from 10.6.8 to yosemite and I have a imac 2007, and enough disk space. but when trying to download, I get a "I can't" due to a list of possible issues, but how to isolate the problem?
Thanks,
josefromaptos

Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks/Yosemite.
To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) model number 7,1 or higher
Your Mac needs:
OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
2 GB or more of memory (More is better - 4 GB minimum seems to be the consensus)
8 GB or more of available space
Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported after 10.6.
Application Compatibility
Applications Compatibility (2)
Do a backup before installing.
If you can/do upgrade, I recommend you make a copy of the installer and move it out of your Applications folder. The installer self-destructs. The copy will keep you from having to download the installer again. You can make a bootable USB stick to install using this free program.
