New to bootcamp and cant get it to install windows 7

Hello bootcamp gurus,
I have a iMac 3.06 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo running Mac OS 10.6.6 and it came installed with Boot Camp Assistant 3.0.1 (313). I purchased Windows 7 Profession download. I have downloaded it and burned the 3 files on to a DVD. The files are entitled "Win7-P-Retail-en-us-X64.exe", "setup1.box" and "setup2.box". I followed the instructions in Boot Camp Assistant and noticed that Windows 7 doesn't appear included. I tried to find an update to Boot Camp but everything is an .exe file. I'm very confused.
In any case when it goes to the windows side it says it can't find a bootable disc.
Can any of you give me some pointers to get this installed?
Thanks you so much for your time.

You can load the ISO into VirtualBox and burn from there.
If you use Disk Utitity to burn an ISO you need to set it to 2x and use slow reduced burn speed or it won't work properly.
You purchase was thru school I assume, and those are intended as upgrade I thought but Windows 7 Pro (and either 32-bit or 64-bit).
There should have been a $15 extra offer to have it on physical media DVD also.

TS4268 hi just setting up new ipad 2 and cant get imessage to work . when i put in apple id it says password incorrect have checked and reset but still wont work

hi just setting up new ipad 2 but when trying to use imessage it says sign in with apple id which i do but password doesnt work. have checked it numerous times but no luck. any ideas ?

The screen "Create Apple ID" is for users without an Apple ID (or someone who has forgotten their password). Since you do not want to create a new Apple ID, you are on the wrong screen.
Go back to the Sign-In screen and then sign-in with your Apple ID (or start over). The sign-in screen will have both fields to input: Apple ID and then Password. The Password screen may be a secondary screen after you input ID and hit Enter.
Hopefully, your further forays into the Land of iPad will not be as disconcerting as your beginning. I was also new to Apple (three years ago with the first iPad). It was a bit aggravating at first, however, now we own multiple Apple computers, peripherals and IOS devices (iPads,iPhone,Apple TV) and really appreciate the functionality and usability.

Welcome to the Apple community.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone".
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, verify it once again, delete the iCloud account from your device and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

I have just bought a new shuffle and cant get it to syn

I have just bought a new ipod shufle and cant find the sync button. The problem is that i have an old shuffle already registered. I have downloaded the latest itunes on my laptop but cant see my new ipod listed anywhere, can anyone help please?

The problem is that i have an old shuffle already registered.
That's not a problem. You can connect multiple iPods to your computer at the same time, and each one appears separately in iTunes.
If this is the first time you are using iTunes 11.x, the sidebar (along left side of window) may not be visible. If so, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
Make sure you are using the USB cable that came with the shuffle, if your old shuffle is a different type (2nd gen). When connected, it should appear in the sidebar, under DEVICES. If you connect both shuffles at the same time, they should both appear under DEVICES.
If that does not happen, please post back.

I have just upgraded to an Iphone 5 and cant get my contacts to sync. My 4s Contacts default account was from my Mac - but I dont seem to ahve this option on my 5? How do I sync them?

I have just upgraded to an Iphone 5 and cant get my contacts to sync. My 4s Contacts default account was from my Mac - but I dont seem to ahve this option on my 5? How do I sync them?

The way I do it is I hook to my windows computer, it will pop up iTunes. I click iTunes off. The phone will show as another drive on your computer. Click it open then migrate to the photos folder from the iPhone.
Then select all, cut then right click on your pictures folder on your computer or make a new folder on your desk top like I do and right click on new folder and select paste.
Photos will be gone. Just remember to turn off the iPhone sync in your photos folder on the phone or they will come back
Good Luck

i locked my new ipod touch and cant it back open from the computer help.?:

First:
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with defect cables
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.

If you get it to charge then:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
or

Restart Windows, hold down the option key.

Just call your provider and tell them what you want and they will help you get it done properly.

I have password on my encrypted backup on computer and cant get in???

i have password on my encrypted backup on computer and cant get in??

If you don't remember the password, you won't be able to recover anything from that backup.
See this Apple doc -> iTunes: About iOS backups
Warning: If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and then forget your password, you will not be able to restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable. If you forget the password, you can continue to back up and use the device, however you will not be able to restore the encrypted backup to any device without the password. You do not need to enter the password for your backup each time you back up or sync.
If you cannot remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore, choose set up as a new device.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You could simply set each device to only use a single telephone number (settings > messages > send & receive, but this isn't really an ideal solution since the other person can always change their settings and see your messages and send messages that appear as if they are from you. There is only one real solution and that's to have your own accounts.

You each need to have separate Apple IDs and separate user accounts. Better yet, separate computers as well.

I have tried to change my User id which is an email address I no longer want to use. Now I am constantly getting requests from icloud and Apple ID for my password and cant get into my icloud account.

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

HT4410 I have just installed Windows 7 64-bit full version Home Premium using Bootcamp and cannot get access to the internet. I installed on a Macbook Air Mid 2012 with Mountain Lion. Are there some drivers that are missing from the Windows 7

Dear Apple. I have just installed Windows 7 64-bit full version Home Premium using Bootcamp and cannot get access to the internet. I installed on a Macbook Air Mid 2012 with Mountain Lion. Are there some drivers that are missing from the Windows 7 bootcamp install download from Apple

It is a Total Misconception that the Support files are installed when you are installing Windows, even if the USB drive that holds them is inserted in the system when doing the Windows install.
You must always Run the Setup.exe files from the support files or run the drivers individually once Windows has finished installing and booted to the desktop.
Also you really need to run the Boot Camp Control Panel Applet and check for updates as not all the newest drivers for full function of all the hardware is included with the original support download. That download is basically a generic version to get the system working and without doing the updates not everything will work properly.
