IMac for on-line course that requires running Windows 98 or later?

I am planning to take an on-line college course that says it "must be taken from an IBM Compatible (PC) computer running Windows 98 or any later version operating system. *An Apple (Mac) computer will not work for this course*." (Bold words are theirs.)
If I have to I can purchase an inexpensive Win system, but I would prefer not to. Is it possible to run a version of Windows on my iMac that might work? If so, can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance, very much!
Melissa

It would be cheaper to buy VMWare Fusion or Parallels and some cheap/used/old version of Windows.

  • Using a Mac for an on-line course that "requires" a PC?

    I want to take an on-line course from Gatlin Educational Services. They claim that I must use a PC for the software to be compatible. When I ask them about using a dual-processor iMac running windows they won't say either yes or no. Just that "some students" have had problems. In input out there? Thanks

    Melissa:
    If you have an Intel iMac as your profile indicates and have MS Windows installed then I would definitely try that online course out on WIndows. Once Windows is running on your Mac then your Mac will behave just like any other PC running windows and should run the same Windows based applications that any other PC would run in your iMac's class.
    I would try it out.

  • Looking for a stopwatch app that can run on iPod Touch 2nd Gen (using ios 4.2.1), do any exist?

    Looking for a stopwatch app that can run on iPod Touch 2nd Gen (using ios 4.2.1), do any exist?

    To more easily find compatible apps:
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
    Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

  • HT1338 Is iMovie 11 available for all mac's that can run lion?

    Yes
    Edit:  If you're asking if it comes with Lion then No.  It has come standard with Macs for years.

  • I have a mac book pro with Boot Camp that also runs windows.  I upgraded to Lion and somehow it crashes the mac side peridoically.  I am told I need to "clean" it and reinstall lion using the recovery drive.  will that delete the windows partition too??

    I have a mac book pro with Boot Camp that also runs windows.  I upgraded to Lion and now the mac side crashes/freezes periodically, especially iphoto.  I am told by the genius' that I probably need to "clean" it and reinstall lion using the "recovery drive" which resets everything back to default and reinstalls the lion operating system.  My question is will this also delete the "windows" partition drive and all that data too.  If so that will be a huge pain in the ___ to back up and reinstall boot camp and windows. I want to shoot the lion.

    There is no system like Acronis for the Mac platform. You can try using the buiilt in Disk Utility to create an Image of the complete Mac drive but I have found that this does not work very well as on tryiing to restore it gives errors sometimes.
    You can use SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner to create a bootable Clone of your system partition. But that is only for the System partition and not the complete drive.
    If you use Boot Camp to install Windows on your Mac neither of those two programs will clone the Windows side.
    Neither will Disk utility as Mac's can not create or write to a NTFS partition. So some other program is need for that.

  • When do Workflows fire for a Document Library that requires Check In?

    I have a SharePoint Designer workflow that is set to fire if the item is changed, and this workflow is running against a Document Library that requires Check In.
    So, the big question is, does the workflow fire if the document is checked out, and the properties are modified, but before the document is checked back in?  Or, will the workflow only fire after the document is checked back in?
    I understand that a workflow is asynchronous, and that a document could be modified and then checked in, and the workflow might only fire after that. What I want to know is whether the workflow will fire if the document properties are modified but the document
    is not checked in for some time.

    The workflow will fire only when the user checks in the document.

  • Where can I download HP Recovery Manager for my TouchSmart 610--1150x​t running WIndows 7 x64?

    Many users would prefer a clean install of Windows with the option to install only those applications that they personally find useful.  Currently, if performing a clean install of Windows -- even if creating recovery disks and maintaining the HP recovery partition -- it is not possible to access the Recovery Manager with the option to re-install only the drivers and any useful preinstalled software.  The only options under these circumstances is to perform a system restore back to the factory state thus removing an separate clean installation of the operating system or reinstalling the limited number of drivers and applications available for the TouchSmart from HP Support.
    If it were possible to reinstall the HP Recovery Manager software, it should also be possible to selectively re-install needed drivers and applications from the recovery partition using the "Software Program Reinstallation" and "Hardware Driver Reinstallation" options.  These options are not available from the boot menu or reinstall disks.
    I have found downloads for the Recovery Manager software specific for Windows Vista and for certain specific HP laptops running WIndows 7, but I have been unable to locate a similar download for the TouchSmart 610 AIO.  Has anyone located a download of the HP Recovery Manager software applicable for the TouchSmart 610?

    This procedure uses the original factory installed HP OEM Windows product key and HP OEM certificate and requires the HP BIOS to have SLP/SLIC v2.1. This procedure will install a completely clean Windows 7 installation and may require the installation of HP drivers. Some HP drivers and/or HP software needed by your computer may not install because the OS is no longer branded as "HP". Please create your personal HP Recovery Disc set before continuing with these instructions. Back-up all of your personal data and files before proceeding with this process.
    1) Download and unzip ABR Beta for Windows 7. Here is the main page to ABR for Windows Vista. Please follow the "How to use it" section for information and instructions on how to use it. These steps apply to Windows 7 as well. Perform the "activation backup" on your original hard drive with the factory HP OEM Windows installation, saving the backup files in several locations (USB stick, SD card, external drive, etc.).
    2) Download your version (the version that was preinstalled on your HP computer) of Windows 7 from Official Windows 7 SP1 ISO from Digital River. Using the built-in Windows 7 CD/DVD burning software, burn the downloaded Windows 7 ISO image to a DVD.
    3) Install Windows 7 from your new "Windows 7 disc" to your SSD, following all prompts as needed. Don't enter a Windows product key and don't allow Windows to try to auto-activate. After the Windows installation is complete, run ABR "activation restore" to "install" the previously backed up product key and certificate. Verify that Windows is activated, if not activated... repeat "activation restore" until Windows 7 is activated.
    ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++​++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
    I, personally, have used the above procedure with great success on many HP desktops and laptops. I can't comment on how well it works with HP TouchSmart computers as I haven't had one to experiment on until recently.

  • I cannot select "selected folders" in itunes for my home sharing for apple tv....running windows 7...my laptop running windows vista works great....thoughts....?

    please read my title.......

    its good that you jsut got it, apple products have a 90 complimentary support window for initial setup issues and things like that for new products and software that you buy from them.
    i would recommend calling them at 1 800 275 2273 or 1 800 APL CARE with teh serial number for teh AppleTV for support to get that working correctly.
    It is possible that the router may be to blame here ( im not dumpign all the blame on it, just offering a suggestion) you may wanna unplug everything from the router, wait a couple minutes and then try again. if that doesnt resolve the issue its possible you may need to hard reset your router and setup your network again.
    I had a similar issue with connecting multiple ipads, PCs, and macs to a Netear router and some would connect for a while then lose access after a few minutes. i upgraded to an airport extreme and that cleared up all my connectivity issues.

  • I was wondering how the advertised 10G multiple line plan that is running now is different from my current plan. Basically, why am I paying more now for 4G of data when Verizon is saying I can get 10 for the same price basically.

    NM

    Most of the advertisements running now are for Edge. You get discounts for having a smart phone on Edge based on the data package you have. What sucks is that most of the time they advertise a certain price for the monthly service and that is true but what they don't say is you add the Edge payments to that and most of the time it is around the same price as without Edge.
    If you think about this though, say you get a phone that is $24.99/month with Edge and you share 10GB which gives you a $25 discount, the phone is basically free and nothing is due at checkout. If you get a 2 year contract with that phone you pay the 2 year price of the phone and pay the same amount monthly.
