Running intel imac under windows?

i just bought a new imac intel dual core and im extremely new to the mac world and not to great with computers so i was wondering if i could get some help with this.
i was reading up on some forums and found out that the imac's with the intel technology can run in either windows or mac OS X and i just have a couple questions right now.
1) how do i get my mac to run under the windows OS?
2) is it possible for me to switch between the mac and windows OS's?
i would really appreciate your honesty.

I am going to set up my iMac, on Saturday, to run Windows. I was originally going to purchase VirtualPC but out came BootCamp . . . Give it a read. Switching between the 2 OS's does not really happen. You boot off of one or the other, however you can move files (again, check the restrictions [30Gig]) between the 2 OS's.

  • Authorisations to run Adobe Reader under Windows 8

    Under windows 8 with adobe reader 11, I have not been able to launch the program. Each time the system says I don't have the authorisations required (even when I follow instructions to get additional authorisations which I seem unable to obtain despite using the normal sequence of "properties" , "security" " advanced  etc. and in this case I get the following message in the "target" slot"
    The name "c:\program files\adobe\READER 11.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" is not valid. Verify that the routing (?) and the name of the file are correct
    when I click on  the Security tag although the location of the programes of Adobe Reader 11 are in fact in the location detailed above. It would seem that windows 8 has a security system that I don't seem to be able to adjust. (I have used Acrobat under Vista and under XP without these problems) . At the moment and after three days of efforts I am still incapable of getting Reader 11 to run..

    (a) After installation of Reader 11.0, the following text appears on the 
    screen after either double clic on the screen icone or clic on c: directory 
    (c:\programmes\adobe\Reader 11.0 :-

    (Translation (not on screen): You don't have the authorisations required to 
    accede to this file)
    (There are two tabs ("Continue" and "Cancel")
    If one clics on "Continuer" the screen reads:

    Translation: Acces to this file for you has been denied. To acces this 
    file  you should use the "Security" tab.
    One tab: "Fermer" (Close)
    If one then does a right clic on the Reader 11.0 screen icone, and then 
    clic on "properties" then clic on "Security", I get a listing of "groupes or 
    users"  which for this computer gives the following : "System", "John

  • D2kwutil running with Forms6i under Windows XP

    Hi
    I'm trying to run D2kwutil.pll version 6.0.6.0 with Forms6i 6.0.8.8.0 under Windows XP and it's not working when I try to call WIN_API_FILE package. I tryed to run the demo form (WAPIDEMO) that I downloaded with the PLL but they don't run either - As a matter of fact, this form don't open.
    Does anyone know what can I do to solve, I mean, to run this PLL under Windows XP - if it is possible?
    Thanks

    How can anyone help if you don't describe the problem? Saying "it doesn't work" is of no value whatsoever.
    Regards,
    Robin Zimmermann
    Forms Product Management Not to be critical or anything Robin, but publicly berating and humiliating your customers doesn't help anyone either.
    This is especially true when its obvious from the name and the return email address that the person is Brazilian and is at least making the attempt to communicate the issue in English. Would you have understood their problem better if they'd used their native tongue? Obviously something didn't translate well - and it came accross as "its broken".
    And by the way, the customer did describe some of what was wrong... they attempted to open a specific demo form, which came bundled with the PLL file from YOUR company, and it wouldn't even open. They are running XP and Forms 6i, which as far as I last knew was not a certified product combination (which is likely part of the problem).
    A little effort (and a kind word) might go a long way toward finding a solution. And if you're just burnt out or having bad day, try to remember that its not OUR fault.
    With all due sincerity,

  • Curios text in one of three computers when displaying the very same mail in Outlook. I run Outlook 2003 under Windows 8.1.1

    Curios text in one of three computers when displaying the very same mail in outlook.
    I run Outlook 2003 under Windows 8.1.1 in all of my 3 computers. 70% of the mail from the same sender are shown OK in the actual computer and 100% of the very same mail are shown OK in the two other computers. If I forwards an OK received
    mail from one of the “100%”, it will be received OK in the “70%” as well. For me the wrong displayed mail shows up as some kind of vector-descriptors (non converted html?). All links in blue are displayed ok and most of the text is readable in an unformatted
    way. When it comes to logos etc it’s not readable at all. What to do?

    i try to INVALIDATE the form every time the loop is sending the data and many more ideas but it is still become white.
    the app. is working greate under windows 2000, 98, ME.
    does anyone know this problem and how to fix it?
    Thanks Guy.

    i "just" develope an application that connected to an exsiting servers and upload data to them.
    the problem is that when i run this app. under windows XP, the screen ( the application created in "Form Base") become white, like the program is stuck.

    the weird thing is when i run this app. under all other windows, it's working fine.

  • **Read Before Posting** Intel iMac FAQ (Windows, Speed, Compatibility, etc)

    Hi all -
    In an effort to keep down clutter and repeated postings, I'd like to start this FAQ. Please, feel free to add to my basic topics.
    • First, the Intel Core Duo is Intel's Dual-Core chip, which is (as I understand it) a better version of the Pentium M series. Read more on Intel's Official Page.
    • Universal is Apple's term for applications that were built on the Universal Binary - which means they work natively, at full speed on BOTH Power PC (G4, G5, etc) and Intel processors.
    • Rosetta is Apple's emulation technology, which seamlessly runs in the background. This will emulate some of the older PowerPC-based applications that have not yet been released with Universal Binaries or released natively for Intel processors.
    • Windows. Apple is doing nothing to prevent it from being installed, but it is not supported in any way. It will most likely be tough to do, as (I don't believe) Windows can do anything with HFS+ drives, let alone BOOT from one. You would need to reformat and partition at the VERY least, as I don't know if Disk Utility can format in the Windows file system. Other drivers (such as the iSight and Airport Wireless) will most likely not be provided, either.
    • Other PCs. Mac OS X will not be able to be legally installed on any machines other than Apple Macintosh machines.
    Hope this helps a little,
    Kyle-

    More details found on this site about Classic and Rosetta:
    http://daringfireball.net/2005/06/classicnotsupported
    Rosetta is designed to translate currently shipping applications that run on a PowerPC with a G3 processor and that are built for Mac OS X.
    Rosetta does not run the following:
    Applications built for Mac OS 8 or 9
    Code written specifically for AltiVec
    Code that inserts preferences in the System Preferences pane
    Applications that require a G4 or G5 processor
    Applications that depend on one or more kernel extensions
    Kernel extensions
    Bundled Java applications or Java applications with JNI libraries that can’t be translated
    Classic is just not supported.
    It is clear that apps that need the G4, G5 or Altivec Code won't run under Rosetta.

  • Can Panther run Intel iMac?

    I have a 20" flat screen Intel-based iMac. It came with Leopard and runs great (10.5.6). This computer replaces an older crt iMac which had a maximum OS capability of OS 10.3.9. I use Vectorworks 10 Mechanical cad software, published by Nemetschek. It runs fine on 10.3.9. They are not planning on making it compatible with Leopard and want me to purchase their $700 upgrade instead, even though I've been a loyal user for 15 years and have upgraded many times previously. I tried to start-up the new iMac from an external 750 GB LaCie harddrive on which I installed the OS 10.3.9 system from the original cds, but the Preference panel did not recognize that there was an external drive with this OS on it. The old iMac boots just fine from the LaCie so I know that the 10.3.9 is installed correctly on it. The icon for the LaCie drive, and all the other documents installed on it, appear on the new iMac's screen and can be opened without any problems-it's just that it seems that the new iMac Preference panel doesn't want to acknowledge there is a drive connected to it that has the OS 10.3.9 available. Can the new iMac run on 10.3.9? What is the minimum (oldest) OS that this new iMac can run on?

    Can the new iMac run on 10.3.9?
    No. 10.3.x will not run on any Intel-based Mac.
    What is the minimum (oldest) OS that this new iMac can run on?
    Adding to what Kappy said, only the specific version of Leopard that came with the system or a later release will work. An earlier version of the OS will not have the drivers to run your iMac's hardware.

    any ideas?

    Hi,
    As mentioned in the link posted by Steve, you can check the setting of Data Execution Prevention.
    And according to the following blog, some hardware features that Hyper-V does not utilize and enabling them will prevent Hyper-V from loading.  (If your BIOS doesn't have this hardware feature, then igonre this part)

  • No 802.11n on early Intel iMac under Snow Leopard

    Hello,
    After installing Snow Leopard on my white Intel iMac (first Intel iMac model) I have lost 802.11n functionality. I had to patch the iMac under Leopard with the AirPort Extreme 802.11n Enabler to get 802.11n working (http://store.apple.com/uk/product/D4141ZM/A). Snow Leopard appears to of changed the Airport Extreme settings, and under system profiler it just shows: ‘Supported PHY Modes as 802.11 a/b/g’
    I can no longer use the 802.11n enabler under Snow Leopard as it comes up with an error message "You cannot install AirPort Extreme 802.11n Enabler on this volume. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update." - this is due to an Airport Extreme 2007-002 upgrade being required (http://support.apple.com/downloads/AirPortExtreme_Update_2007002), which also won't install under Snow Leopard.
    Help! Is this a known issue and will Apple be releasing a Snow Leopard compatible 802.11n enabler? OR, is there a work around/fix under Snow Leopard.
    Essentially, accessing my home server for work is a nightmare as 802.11g is just not fast enough for the media files I work with.
    All help would be greatly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Graham Johnson.

    I am a bit confused as to which iMac you are trying to use with 802.11n.
    You say that you have the first white iMac that was Intel. But the first three white Intel iMacs do not have 802.11n capabilities; neither the Early '06 Core Duo, the Mid '06 Core Duo, nor the Late '06 Core 2 Duo CD have AirPort Extreme cards capable of 802.11n. But you profile is showing a 2.16 GHz iMac C2D which is Late '06 and does have the AirPort Extreme card with 802.11n capabilities.
    Is that the Mac that now appears to have lost this capability?
    What does Apple say? Did you buy Apple Care? Is it still in its last weeks of warranty?

  • WRT54G v8.00.2 - DSL Internet Running Half Speed Under Windows XP

    Hello all,
    I have a rather bizarre problem with my WRT54G v8.00.2 or with Windows XP and was hoping you guys could help me troubleshoot? Anyways, here's what's going on:
    1. I have a Dell Latitude D620 notebook with Intel 3945abg Wireless Adapter dual booting with Windows XP Professional and Windows Vista Business. The system is a 1.86ghz Core 2 Duo w/ 2.0GB memory. I can connect to the internet fine under both Windows XP & Vista, however, there is one small problem. Under XP, the wireless speed is 1/2 the speed of the DSL connection. Under Vista, download speeds & speedtests (www.speedtest.net) work full speed. Hard wired into the router under XP or Vista runs full speed. I have Embarq 5.0mb/768k DSL connection and have had no problems with the connection. I am running the latest firmware on both the DSL modem (EQ-660R) and the router (WRT54G v8.00.2).
    2. I have an Apple Macbook that runs full speed (5mb)on my wireless.
    Do you guys have any idea on what I can troubleshoot? I have run into this issue at one of my customers businesses where they have a WRT54GS and we're experiencing the same issue on XP machines. Is XP limiting wireless speed? Thanks so much to everyone in advance for their help on this issue.
    Mark

    After some research, I found Speedguide's TCP Optimizer. I ran it and set the software to the speed of my DSL connection (5000kbps) and set it to Optimal settings. After this, my download speeds are what I expected. Thanks.
