  • Best way to install Windows 8 on an iMac with 1tb Fusion drive

    I just ordered my first iMac. Not my first mac, I have owned numerous Mac laptops in the past but am finally ready to make the switch for my main desktop .
    Now I need to installed windows 8.1 because I need to run visual studio. That is literally the only app I need to run.
    Ordered with the below specs:
    27" imac
    i7 processor
    1tb fusion drive
    16gb ram.
    I am thinking of two options:
    1) use parallels or vmware fusion and create a 200gb windows virtual machine and give this machine 6gb ram (4gb is recommend by more couldn't hurt). since the fusion drive works at a block level, my windows OS and vs should parts of the VM file should get moved to the SSD as I will be using it a lot. my main goal is max performance. i will be working on metro apps (not windows phone apps). any recommendation on which is better? parallels or vmware? stability and performance is key. i don't need any fancy UI integration and i won't run any games. happy to run windows in fullscreen mode.
    2) create a 200gb partition and run bootcamp. cleary more stable but will it be faster than above because i am assuming the ssd caching will not working here?
    per mircorosft website they give instructions for both options above, but i am looking for realworld experience in what will get be most stability in terms of network IO (working on UPNP apps so need stable network bridging) and then performance is key.
    HDD size is not a big deal for me as most of my media lives in my synology NAS.

    virtual machine will be more stable
    bootcamp will be faster but the only place you will notice is if you play new 3d games on diwndows

  • Installing PSE 9 on new iMac with no CD Drive.

    I bought a new iMac and cannot figure out how to install a new copy of Elements 9. I have a disc that I previously used to install on my Macbook, but now I do not have a Cd drive on my new computer. Tried to transfer the software using an external hard drive but it did not work. Any help?

    First of all this:
    Tried to transfer the software using an external hard drive but it did not work
    Did you try to migrate an installed version of PSE? If so, you have your work cut out for you before you can install it.
    As for the disc, if you have access to another computer, even a windows computer, you can copy the files from the disc to something like a thumb drive and use that. If you're near an Apple Store they will sometimes let you make the copy there.

  • To install Windows 8 OS on a new iMac using Boot Camp, what size "partition" should I allocate for Windows on a system with 3TB Fusion drive?

    I am trying to install Windows on a new iMac w/3TB Fusion drive. The system crashed on my first attempt but appears to have partitioned the drive correctly before crashing???  So, what size partition does Windows 8 need to operate effectively?  Is "more" better??? or just over-kill?  And, has anyone installed Winodow 8 on an iMac...and how did it work?  Would apps like "Parallel Desktop" or "VM Ware Fusion" be a good idea and troubleless?
    I will try again but not too confident that it may get worse before it gets better.
    Regards....?
    P.S.  I configured this iMac with the i7 processor 3.5GHz with Turbo Boost to 3,9GHz.  When I select "About this Mac" it diplays my i7 processor as a 3.4GHz instead.  Do you think they ran out of the i7 3.5GHz and shoved a i5 3.4Ghz in the iMac to meet deliver schedule???  I there a way to check the real-time speed of my processor??.

    It depends on your uses. See > https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3321 Windows 8 works properly in Boot Camp, always that your iMac is compatible > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US You can only use the 64-bit Windows 8 edition.
    Respecting to your processor, you may want to contact with Apple, as they may have sent you the iMac with a wrong processor

  • I want to install Win7 on my new iMac using bootcamp. I got a USB drive for the win7 install-disc, but I don't own a cd for the Mac OS (since it was preinstalled when I got it). I read somewhere that I need a mac OS disc as well?

    I want to install Win7 on my new iMac using bootcamp. I got a USB drive for the win7 install-disc, but I don't own a cd for the Mac OS (since it was preinstalled when I got it). I read somewhere that I need a mac OS disc as well to complete the bootcamp installation of Win7 ?
    I need some recomendations plz.

    Hello,
    you don't need OS X install-disk, but I strongly recomend to burn a Win 7 disk. You may have some problems with installing it from a USB Flash :)

  • How do I download/install Photoshop & Premiere Elements 10 on new iMac with no disc drive?

    My iMac hard drive recently failed and I lost everything. I just bought one of the new iMacs with no disc drive.  I had purchased Photoshop CS5 in 2011 but it came with CD's for install.  I stil have them but it doesn't do me any good since there is no disc drive to put them in on the new computer. How can I install Photoshop using my serial number from my original purchase?  I downloaded the CS6 trial version and when I try to activate it with my old serial number it says it is invalid.  

    There are links to trial installers on pages:
    http://prodesigntools.com/all-adobe-cs5-direct-download-links.html
    http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-10-direct-download-links-pse-premiere-pre.htm l
    Very carefully read and follow the instructions on the pages!
    Download and install the trials, launch and activate them with your serial number then do 'Help > Updates'.

  • Can I install Windows on my iMac 27, 3TB Fusion Drive, late-2012 with Boot Camp 5?

    Hello. When I first opened the Boot Camp Assistant app, it said it could not work with the 3TB fusion drive. With the updated version of Boot Camp, the option to install Windows appeared. I tried to install Windows 8, but the loading bar stopped moving. I waited for hours, but it still did not move. I decided to quit the app, and re-open it, in order to try again. It crashed, and would not open. So I restarted my system and when I did that I noticed that I had about 1GB or so left of storage. This shocked me, because the disk was just suddenly filled for some reason. In hopes of fixing this I used an app called 'CleanMyMac' to try and recover the disk space. And as I thought the disk space returned to normal. However when I went to Disk Utility and clicked 'repair disk' it said this...
    There is only 1 partition, so the Boot Camp process did fail.
    I don't know whats wrong with my system though? I would like to install Windows, but I'm worried that I might recieve errors again. I have not got Apple Care, but I'm playing on buying it soon, due to it being almost a year since I bought the system.
    Maybe I did something wrong when trying to install Windows with Boot Camp? I don't know, but if possible can someone please tell me if I can install Windows and if something is wrong with my system.
    Here is some additional screen shots of the type of system I have.
    Thank you for your help with this issue!

    Which copy or version of Windows? and how where was it purchased?
    my window installed itself perfectly on another computer.
    One copy and you want to activate on two computers?
    With 16GB, it will try to create 16GB hibernation file, 24GB page file, and need 20-30GB for the OS, plus room for temp, cache, applications, 9GB just temp to install SP1 update(s). 
    did you create 80GB or larger partition?
    also, some macs with ssd + hard drive have issues, and of course you need Windows 7 64-bit home premium (Pro to use more).
    OWC has up to 32GB, not cheap.

  • Trying to install iwork '09 from dvd on new imac with no dvd drive.....iwork is brand new (bought off ebay) in unopened box....I have at my disposal an older imac with dvd drive and a 16GB thumb drive...what is best way to load iwork on the new imac?

    bought my mom a new imac this xmas...didn't realize it has no dvd drive....just picked up a new unopened version of iwork '09 for her to use off of ebay....need to get it loaded on the new dvddriveless imac......I have an imac at my house with a drive and a thumb drive i could bring over to her house if I could somehow burn an image of the iwork dvd on the thumb drive...is this possible?  is there a better solution other than buying an external dvd drive?

    First use Disk Utilty to make a disk image of the iWork disc on your iMac. Then there are two easy ways to install on your mothers new iMac. One is to copy to your USB thumb drive, visit your mother and install from the thumb drive. The other is to use a free upload and download service like www.wetransfer.com. Upload the .dmg disk image via www.wetransfer.com, then your mother downloads and installs. After installation you'll need to update iWork for Mountain Lion compatibility.

  • Re-installing LR license on new mac with no optical drive

    originally purchased LR2 with CD copy, have subsequently upgraded online to LR3 and LR4 using PC.
    have now purchsed new mac with no optical drive, so how do I get LR4 reinstalled?
    any upgrade licenses require you to have the original full license first installed.

    any upgrade licenses require you to have the original full license first installed.
    Used to be the case but no longer. Adobe's process is now much simpler.
    All software versions (whether full or upgrades) include the full program code. The serial number you enter tells the installer if it's an upgrade or a full version.
    Download the Lightroom 4.4.1 trial from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5599
    Install it then enter your LR 4 serial number. The installer will then ask for an earlier version serial. Enter your LR3 serial and the install will complete.

  • Install Win7 on late 2009 iMac with Suspect Superdrive

    I may be hooped here, but it is worth a try.  I have a 2009 iMac with a very dubious Superdrive.  With the end of Windows XP support, (and the existing Windows XP installation being too slow to use), I decided to upgrade to Win7. Of course, the computer is also bugging me to upgrade to Mavericks.  So, I backed up the contents of the Windows folders for the data I want to keep, and removed the Windows partition.
    I have a copy of Windows 7 as an ISO file, which I proceeded to convert into a bootable DVD, and ran Bootcamp to install Windows 7.  Things proceeded as expected with the partition being made, Windows files being transferred, Windows starting up, then ... the system will copy no more files from the DVD. Now, of course, the Superdrive will not recognize the DVD I inserted into it.
    Is there any way to get a 2009 iMac to install Windows 7 from a USB memory stick?

    Repair your Superdrive.

  • Possible to install Tiger on a new iMac?

    I am looking to upgrade one of the designers in our studio to a new iMac, but I do not want them to have to run 10.5. There are still too many bugs with specific applications we use (especially in Photoshop). Does anyone know if it's possible to load 10.5 onto the new iMacs?
    I really don't want to be forced to move to a new OS before it's been fully tested and working in our environment.
    Regards,
    Kristin.

    You might ask around for build dates on iMacs. If it was built before Leopard ships, then you often get 10.4 on the machine and 10.5 updater in the box.
    I bought my machine about 25 days before Leopard shipped for the very reason you describe. I knew it would come with Tiger, but was hoping (with fingers crossed) that Leopard would come out in time so I could get it free. I did.
    But...as it turns out, I ended up going to Leopard after a few months anyway since I determined that all my mission critical apps would work in Leopard. Good luck!

  • Why can't I install CS5 extended on new iMac with my serial number?

    All I wanted to do was take the serial number from my CS5 extended and install PS 5 on my new iMac (they don't have disc drives anymore). My serial number however is 20 digits and it doesn't work?? It comes up shy of numbers. Can someone explain how this can be possible? I refuse to rent CS5 when I already have a lisc. Thanks.

    You need to get the serial number from your Adobe account at the corporate web site, once there go to "My Products".  You can get the s/n from there.
    Adobe applications show you intentionally truncated serial numbers, with only 20 digits as you noted.  The full s/n are 24-digits long.  This is done on purpose, so as not to encourage software piracy.
