IMAC with windows XP on it as well Tiger, won't run mac after 10.4.8 instal
My wifes IMAC, which we also partioned and installed windows XP, will not allow us to restart the Mac side. This just started this morning after she installed the upgrade from 10.4.7 to 10.4.8. When you restart the computer and hold down the ALT key you will get the option of going into either the mac side or the windows side. Now when we select the MAC side we get an error message telling us to hold down the power key to reboot the computer. This ends up doing nothing to fix the problem. Any help or advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Brian
Michael, my guess is that you've installed a third party utility to modify the OS in some way, and it's broken. We've seen, for example, people who installed utilities that were supposed to improve network operation unable to get reliable network connections as a result.
There's a utility that can remove unnecessary components from the OS. Unless used with caution, it can kill Rosetta.
Haxies can break after an OS update. That's not Apple's fault, and it's a reason I don't install haxies such as Shape Shifter, for example.
Does this happen with other PPC applications that have to run under Rosetta?
What to do: If you've installed third party utilities that modify OS functions, remove them one at a time and restart. Try Entourage after each restart.
BTW I don't suspect smcFanControl as the culprit.

Have Photoshop Elements from 2001. Got new computer with Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. It won't run on my new computer. What version is MOST SIMILAR to the old version I have, that will run on W7P-64? Thanks for any help. Popjer
You should probably just download the trial version of pse 12 and see if you can live with it.
Download a free trial or buy Adobe products | Adobe downloads
That being said, have you tried to install pse 1 on your computer?
How much free space is on your hard drive?
Do you have Internet Explorer 10 or 11?
Pse 1 can run on windows 7 x64, provided certain conditions are met. -

Chevron B50If you don't want Boot Camp and you don't want a virtual machine, go buy a Windows computer.
Both Boot Camped Windows and Windows running in a virtual machine work well. Your issues are because of your lack of knowledge or understanding, not because Boot Camp and virtual machines are poor products. Universities, large and small businesses, home users, etc. use virtual machines to run their operating systems.
Your statements about Boot Camp and Parallels are not the experience of thousands of users.
Either find someone who is knowledgeable about running Windows on Apple computers to help you or buy a Windows computer. Believe me, if you find a way to install only Windows on your Apple computer without using Boot Camp or a virtual machine you will have more problems than what you have already experienced. -

Just to elaborate further; if the Windows OS has been previously installed, go to the bootcamp assistant in OSX (found in applications/utilities). There you will have the option to burn a disk or download the needed drivers to a USB flash drive. After getting the necessary files downloaded/burned proceed and start your Windows partition, run the installer from the disc. This should solve the problem.

I am trying to install a registered copy of Photoshop Lightroom that I never installed on my Apple iMac with software version 10.10.
I get the message “Adobe Lightroom 1. Cannot be installed on this disk because a newer version of this software already exists on this disk”
If it is here – I cannot find it anywhere, and I don’t believe that I ever installed it.
I have ordered the upgrade to Lightroom 5.0 and figured that I should install Lightroom 1.0 first.
How can I solve this problemActually when LR 5 starts for the first time after it is installed it will have a dialog to Buy, Try or Enter a serial number. You select Enter a serial number and enter the LR 5 serial number first and then because it is an upgrade serial number it will ask for the serial number of a Previous version. You then enter the LR 1 serial number.

Hello alltogether! I use PSE 7 on my PC with windows XP and now want to change to a new Mac with the newest version PSE . Is it possible to move all my albums and tags to that new version? Thank you very much for your kind answers! Candyapple111
1. Install PSE 11 in windows, upgrade your catalog, then make a full backup to a removable drive, like a usb drive, using the organizer's back up command. If you buy the boxed version you get discs for both platforms.
2. Install PSE on the mac.
3. Restore the backup to the mac. Point the restore to the .tly file in the folder, not the enclosing folder. -
I get to the file download window to install itunes and push run, but after it starts to install, it stops and I get an error message that installation can no continue and everything is uninstalled. It tells me to check with my software company to resolve. What does that mean?
Repair your Apple software update.
Go to START/ALL PROGRAMS/Apple Software Update. If it offers you a newer version of Apple Software Update, do it but Deselect any other software offered at the same time. Once done, try another iTunes install
If you don't find ASU, go to Control Panel:
START > CONTROL PANEL > Add n Remove Programs / highlight ASU and click CHANGE then REPAIR, -

My 2006 iMac running Snow Leopard won't boot even after erasing and re-installing Snow Leopard. I erased and re-installed by putting the iMac in Target Disk mode and usin my MacBookPro as the host. But after numerous attempts I still can't get it to boot either from the HD or DVD drive. I just get the white screen after the wheel stops spinning. I can't get it to run Hardware Test - just get the white screen. If I use Disk Utility via my MBP it says the disk appears OK. All the Snow Leopad files appear to have been installed. What can I do?

Perhaps you installed the wrong version OS X onto the iMac, you can't use the disk from another Mac.
clean the disk.
If it's not working then use this method to create a bootable 10.6 USB from the iMac machine specific 10.6 disk or the 10.6.3 retail disk on your other Mac, use it to boot the iMac with.

Hello
I am setting up an iMac with win7 and it came with magic mouse and wireless keyboard. But for some reason I cant connect the magic mouse and the keyboard to the iMac when is using windows. Also other people facing this issue. Anyone know the solution?
Thank youAnd you burned the drivers disk and used it to install the drivers in your Windows partition?
Just an idea for you. There is an entire Apple Discussion forum dedicated to Boot Camp and Windows.
Whereas, not everyone here with an Intel iMac has installed, tried to install or has experience with BC & Windows, everyone there has or at least has an interest. You may attract help more quickly there.
The Forums are at the bottom of the main Apple Discussions page under Windows Compatible Technology. Here is a link;

Why does the New iMac 27" with SSD 768GB / bootcamp / runs only with Windows 7 Professional 32 bit and not with 64bit?
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
It's the inverse. The Late 2012 iMac is only compatible with 64-bit Windows versions in Boot Camp. The main reason is the memory: the iMac comes with 8 GB of memory, and a 32-bit Windows version can only detect 4 GB or less. Also, it's time to upgrade to 64-bit operating systems, that works with both 32 and 64-bit applications.
If you want to use a 32-bit Windows version, the only solution is to install Parallels, VMware Fusion or VirtualBox, and install Windows in a virtual machine
