Using Windows 7 on an iMac ...Can I wipe and Install Windows 7 only ?

i have installed win 7 evaluation copy (which expires in march i think) using bootcamp ..... works just fine except for one thing:
even though i have selected startup disk as windows in system prefs, it will often start in mac instead (and this is after i have shut down previously in windows)it's like it "forgets" it's supposed to start always in windows
it's getting frustrating...what am i doing wrong ??
second...has anyone successfully wiped their hard disk and installed windows 7 on an imac without osx or bootcamp being present
i love the imac hardware but need to do some work in windows for a while

Start in Windows and select the default boot drive.
Yes, there are 3-4 threads recently asking about "Windows only."

    How can i download and install and really use Adobe Flash Player on my MacBookAir with OS X 10.8.2 ??

    Hello Allan,
    thank you for your promt message. I have download the installer like many times before and install the flashplayer like many times before, too. But it does not work ... only getting the black screen ... but then, after checking some settings and defaults i realize that i have to switch in Safari > Security > Plug in to status activated !!!
    Shame on me and sorry for wasting your time, but i started with Mac 3 weeks before and have to leave windows-thinking !!! But i am convinced that mac is the better way ...

  • I have paid and downloaded LION and want to update my IMAC, can i just run install and it keep photos settings etc from Snow Leopard or is a full reinstall with wiped hard drive, anyone have any experience of this and do i need to run a backup beforehand?

    Always backup your important data before upgrading to a new Mac OS X.
    Lion doesn't erase the drive but better to be safe than sorry.
    And run Disk Utility  (Applications/Utilities). Verify and if necessary repair the startup disk before upgrading.
    Using Disk Utility to verify or repair disks
    Before upgrading read here >  Lion upgrade questions and answers:  Apple Support Communities

  • The Safari on my iMac is no longer supported, how can I download   and install a new version?

    The Safari browser on my iMac OSX 10.6.8 is no longer supported. How can I download and install a supported Safari browser?

    If you’re running Safari 5.1.10, you need to either upgrade the computer’s OS or switch browsers.
    To upgrade, open the Mac App Store and try downloading Yosemite. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
    Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.

  • I need to use an earlier version 3.5 for testing something. I have 3.6. How can I download and install 3.5?

    I need to test a new learning management system used by my university in Firefox 3.5. This browser is certified for Blackboard 9.1 wheras 3.6 is not. I already upgraded to 3.6. How can I download and install 3.5?

    My advice is to install the Firefox Portable version that you need for Blackboard on your computer, and use that installation only for Blackboard. Continue to use 3.6 for all other web browsing. <br />
    FP 3.5.x is here: <br />

    Per Terms of Use to which you agreed when you joined this

    get no help here.
    Be advised the jailbreak made unknown alterations to the iPhone
    which will prevent future upgrades, open up the OS to malware,
    and may result in it becoming useless - a brick, if you will.

  • Hi! Just got my new ihpone 4 yesterday, but i'm having issues in texting a specific contact. sending sms or iMessages works perfectly fine with all my contacts apart from 1,which is even using my same network, though i can call it and receive sms from it.

    My Quad is as quiet with 10.4.5 as it was on arrival Jan 31, with 10.4.2
    Altivec Fractal Carbon gives the CPU too much chance to cool down. I've got other ways to drive the CPU to sustained 100% load. Yes, the fans speed up, but it's still pretty quiet. I've run it at 100% for hours.
    I like the idea of taking things gradually. If you can wait a few days before making big changes, it can make things much easier. 3-4 weeks is very conservative, but great if you have that much patience.
    My Quad has been up full-time since I got it. Works perfectly.

  • How can I erase and install the most recent Mac OS X?

    I have bought a new iMac and want to give my old iMac to a friend.
    Before I give it to them, I want to erase to old iMac HD and re-install Mac OS. However, it defaults back to the Maverick OS. My slow internet means it will take hours to download and then I would have to run upgrades in the AppStore and take more hours to download Yosemite and then more cycles of incremental upgrades... :-/
    How do I get my old iMac to simply install a fresh version of the latest Mac OS?
    I have saved a copy of the install file of Yosemite when I updated my new iMac because of my slow internet connection but I don't know if it truly gives a full fresh installation of everything, so I didn't try it.
    Cheers,
    Neil

    Click here and follow the instructions. If the computer originally shipped with Mac OS X 10.6.8 or earlier, when you reach step 5, insert its original disk, restart with the C or Option key held down, use the Disk Utility to erase the internal drive, and install a fresh OS.
    You can't sell it while it has an OS more recent than the newer of the computer's original one or 10.6.8 installed on it.
