Is there anyway to put Windows XP on a new iMac running Lion?

Purchased new iMac, 27 inch, with Lion OS. Bootcamp 4 only works with Windows 7, right? Will Bootcamp 3 run on Lion OS? Parallels 6 does not work correctly with Quicken. Does anyone know if Parallels 7 will work better, or do I have to buy a copy of Windows 7?

You can run XP in Parallels but you need Parallels 7.x. But you can only install Windows 7 via Boot Camp.

I too am running xp spiii on my mac with lion. However I installed xp while running snow leopard then upgraded to lion and both are running fine. If you have the support disc that came with the imac all the relevant drivers are on there. The only other thing i would suggest is that you get spiii and upgrade to that.
Hope that helps

In version 9 is there anyway to put the "Open Link in new Tab" back to where it was when right clicking on a link?

The menu editor addon no longer works with FF v9.0.1, is there another way to change the location of the "Open Link in New Tab" contextual menu item when right clicking on a link?

You can do that with code in userChrome.css.

How do I get Windows XP onto my new mac running lion when boot camp only gives me the option for windows 7

Hi I have been trying to partition my hard drive on my new Mac so that I can run some windows specific programs and I wanted to use Windows Xp because I beleive it to be suitable for my needs + becuase its now an older OS it's cheaper.
My version of Mac is running the Lion operating system and when I start up the boot camp assitant I only get the option to install windows 7. If I proceed and put in the XP installer disc I get a message "Installer disc not found- insert disc and wait a few moments".
The Xp disc is supposed to be a full version- at least thats what the guy who sold it to me claims, anyone any solutions on how to proceed or do I have to buy Windows 7?

With OSX Lion Apple has removed support for Windows XP and Windows Vista from BootCamp.
That leasves only Windows 7 as a viable option to use.
You can however use Virtualization apps like the free VirtualBox to install and run XP on your Mac.
Commercial ones are Parallels and VMWare Fusion.

Windows XP Connection to iMac running Lion

Is it possible to get a Windows XP PC see an Imac running Lion on the PCs workgroup folder? If yes, how? I have already enabled SMB and AFB and added a few shared folders on the Mac. Thank you.

Nope, not possible. You can however install Parallels or VMWare Fusion on your iMac then install XP and run windows. If you can somehow get the data from your PC then you can operate OS X and XP simultaneous. Boot Camp with the version of OS X installed on your system is only designed to run Windows 7. BTW if you want to continue down the XP/Boot Camp path there is a Boot Camp forum.

My computer is currently broken and cannot access my iTunes. Is there anyway to put it into manual without iTunes

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

im running mac os x V10.5.8 on my macbook pro. Is there anyway i can update the operating system to os x lion?

If it's a Core Duo Mac, no.
If it's a Core 2 Duo or better Mac, phone the online Apple Store and order a Mac OS X DVD, and if the computer can't run 10.8, a download code for 10.7.

Can I use a real router and still have the Time Capsule for backups etc?
Yes, that is what Bridge Mode is for. Just connect the Time Capsule to a LAN <--> Ethernet port on your "main" router.

I have just changed over from a computer that was 11 years old, running Windows 98, to a new computer running Windows XP. With my old computer I could easily download video clips, they would open and play as soon as the download had ended. Now I have to click on the download box and click on "Play". Also, when I wanted to keep a clip, I just right clicked and a menu appeared and I would then click on "Save as" or similar. Now there doesn't appear to be any way to save the clips. Apart from a faster and more powerful computer I feel I've gone backwards. Can anyone help?

Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

Assuming you already have it installed: Go to system preferences and chose 'start up disc' in the system menu. Then select the Windoze partition and restart it. - To get back to OSX, find the Boot Camp icon in the tool bar bottom right.

Install windows 7 in a new iMac 27 core i5

Hello, someone knows how to Install windows 7 in a new iMac 27 core i5 ?

As a new iMac hasn't got the SuperDrive, you have to buy the Apple USB SuperDrive or another external optical drive to install Windows on your computer. If you need help, print this PDF > http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.7.pdf
Also, if you have a Windows .iso file, you can use it and burn it into a USB drive. To do this, open Boot Camp Assistant and follow its steps
