WHAT TO PURCHASE FOR WINDOWS TO RUN OM IMAC

I need help on what to purchase for windows to run on imac?

Along with the edition, what you need to run (in Windows) and whether you need to run Windows natively and dual boot, or both dual boot and use a VM, need to be answered.
The more RAM and the better your cpu (new 2012? or older) and allocating say 80GB for Windows partition.
You do realize that most questions are answered on the support page:

  • I need appleisightinstaller.exe to install the isight driver for Windows Vista running in Parallel Desktop 6 for Mac, but I don't have a Leopard DVD. What came with my Macbook Air was a flash stick "MacBook Air Software Reinstall Drive" only.

    I need appleisightinstaller.exe to install the isight driver for Windows Vista running in Parallel Desktop 6 for Mac, but I don't have a Leopard DVD. What came with my Macbook Air was a flash stick "MacBook Air Software Reinstall Drive" only.

    All,
    A very interesting NOTE to this thread. In order to try and get the "ignore permissions" box to show up in GET INFO (so I could execute Matt the Magician's solution to file sharing issues)-- I ran the terminal command for disabling ACLs on my internal HD / start up disk (as indicated in the linked thread to BDAqua's forum).
    Although I understand that this was useless for disabling permissions on the start up disk (as everyone here pointed out) and allowing me to see the "ignore permissions" check box - somehow it did seem to fix my file sharing problem...and that was the root problem I wanted solved in the first place! After doing the terminal command and a quick reboot, I went in and tested file sharing on the chosen directory and I can create new files or work from existing files in the directory, with both users being able to modify / and save from both machines and each machine sees the revisions and can build from them. Bottom line - I'm stoked and want to thank everyone for their help.
    The only other tweak I made was going over to my wife's machine and instead of using her log in / password, I just used my name and password to connect to my main machine that was sharing directories. Maybe that's what fixed the problem or the ACL disable but either way...I'm up and running the way I want to be.
    Hope this thread helps anyone else who has these file sharing / permissions issues with Leopard. Especially for anyone wanting to do such a simple file sharing set up between 2 computers. I wish I understood exactly which tweak fixed the problem, but at least it works the way I want now.
    So happy to be done w/this one!
    Thx everyone. Any additional input on what solved it is welcome, so my curiosity is quelled...

    Hi Jorg ,
    Are you trying to reduce the file size with the "Reduced size PDF" in the save as other option.
    Give it a try if you haven't done it prior.
    Open that PDF>File>Save as Other>Reduced size PDF.
    If possible ,please share the snapshot of the error message with us so that we can have a look in order to assist you further.

  • How to download Adobe Premiere pro CS5 for windows to my new imac 27 inch

    How to download Adobe Premiere pro CS5 for windows to my new imac 27 inch

    IMHO Windows would be the place to start.
    Why do you want to load CS5 for Windows?
    Adobe does produce a version of CS5 that runs on OS X so that it would not be necessary for you to have to screw around with Windows. Personally that would be the way to go and avoid the hassles of Windows.

  • What Lenovo notebook for Windows/Ubuntu dualboot

    Hey there,
    can anyone recommend a notebook for Windows/Ubuntu dualboot? I've heard that there are many problems with UEFI. I would like to use Ubuntu 12.04.2.
    Best wishes and thanks in advance!

    T530 has been working prett y well for me since November or so... got it with 4GB RAM & 500GB SATA HD, because that was the best price/performance package I could afford at the time.  Since then got a little more OT pay and upgraded to 16GB RAM and a 256GB SSD, and moved the 500GB SATA HD to the UltraBay in lieu of the optical drive which I almost never used. 
    This model came with Windows 7 Professional, and I had zero problems setting it up for multi-boot.  I tinkered with several different distros - Ubuntu, openSUSE, Scientific, Mint, Fedora 18... Ubuntu was one of the smoothest installs, and pretty much everything - including almost all of the function keys for sleep, lock screen, volume, brightness, etc. work 'out of the box'.  Currently running Xubuntu on it for other reasons, but may go back to 'plain' Ubuntu sometime in the near future as not as many of the little things like the Fn keys work in Xubuntu as in mainstream Ubuntu.
    Mine came with the oversized 9-cell battery pack, and that was the one thing that was a major complaint for me originally - the battery life under Linux (any flavor) was about half what it was in Win7; 2-3 hours vs 4-6.  The WebUpd8 site has a number of articles on adding various PPAs that help out with the battery life quite a bit - highly recommended.  Newer Linux kernels (since 12.04) are supposed to have better power management abilities, so I'm not sure 12.04 would be my first choice for that reason.  Some of the subsequent releases have been buggy enough that shorter battery life might be the lesser of two evils.  12.10 had some issues with one of the kernel releases (wasn't just Ubuntu, fwiw... saw the same problem on Fedora 18) right before 13.04 came out that caused problems - like unresponsive black screen after GRUB - with cards that have multiple video adapters (like the T530).  Installing the 'aftermarket' bumblebee drivers via PPA fixed that, while Ubuntu and the kernel team were still fumbling about.  FYI, the bumblebee drivers made a big difference in the power consumption as well.  Xubuntu recenly had a problem where a code error from upstream (XFCE) propagated down and caused semi-random (but very repeatable) logouts from X Windows.  That one has been going on 4+ months (12.10 and 13.04) and still not fixed in the mainstream version (had to install another PPA for a 'patch' to be able to run XFCE at all.  This is why I'm starting to debate about either going 'back' to the 12.04 LTS, or trying to hold things together long enough to get to 14.04 (next LTS)  and staying there until EOL for the hardware...
    YMMV,
    Monte

  • Strange: SAPgui for Windows cannot run without SAPlogon installed.

    We find out that if there is no SAPlogon installed on a PC, then we CANNOT
    run SAPgui for Windows at EP7.
    We need a fix for this. That is :
    How to run SAPgui for Windows at EP7 on a PC without SAPlogon
    installed?
    Points guaranteed. Thanks!

    For a Transaction iView based on SAP GUI for Windows, SAP GUI for Windows must be installed locally on the client machine.
    The other options are GUI for HTML & GUI for Java.
    For GUI for HTML you need to enter the details (Host & Path) of the ITS server in the system object.
    In ERP 2005 the ITS is integrated with the ERP system.
    For GUI for Java you would need to place the SAP GUI for Java installation files at the server and enter its http location in the "com.sap.portal.appintegrator.sap" Service.
    This link will give you information about the 3 GUIs.

  • How do I download Firefox for Windows XP on an iMac?

    I have just installed Windows XP on an iMac (which otherwise runs Mac OS 10.6.3). I want to download Firefox to run under XP on it, but of course I have no browser on that part of the machine, so I tried to download it through the Firefox on my Mac OS system.
    The website, being very clever, thinks I want Firfox to run under Mac OS, and that's what it selects. How do I persuade it to let me download the installer for Windows XP?

    Thanks Tony.
    In the end, I noticed a little link saying something like "All languages and operating systems." Probably the same as your link. I managed to download it through there. OPerating beautifully now (and also apparently with the system, it installed Internet Explorer, so all was not as dire as thought!)
    Thanks again!

  • How to install PS CS3 for Windows on my new iMac? [was:New computer]

    I have a new iMAC and would like to download Photoshop CS3 extended. I had before a PC and I have the serial number. Is there a way? I really need to install it and dont mind to upgrade it.

    I didn't deactivate the account in my old pc because it is broken and cannot get it. Maybe is that the resaon why doesn't work?
    Not related.
    The reason it doesn't work is because perptually licensed products (such as your CS3 for Windows) are always issued with serial numbers specific to your operating system. Mac only serial numbers cannot be used on Windows. Likewise Windows serials cannot be used on Macs.
    In short, you cannot install your CS3 Windows on your new iMac.
    Your best option to get Photoshop on your iMac now is to join the Cloud, which you can do at a discounted monthly fee since you're a CS3 owner.
    If you own Photoshop CS3 standalone retail version - not a suite or an educational version - then you could do it for $9.99/month and get Photoshop CC + Lightroom 5 + extras

  • What are the Windows Experience Index numbers for Windows 7 running on a MacBook Pro 13 Retina Display?

    I am curious to know what speed those running Windows 7 on a MacBook Pro 13" Retina Display are obtaining.  I am interested in purchasing a MacBook Pro 13" Retina (i7) and will be running Windows 7 frequently since some of my business software only runs under Windows.  I have heard that the best PC is a Mac.  Just wanted to confirm the Windows Experience Index values are for those MacBook Pro users are seeing when running Windows 7.  The Windows 7 Experience Index numbers include one for Processor speed, Memory (RAM) speed, Graphics speed, Gaming graphics speed, and Primary Disk speed.

    Hi - I connected my superdrive but it does not seem to be working - now all I get is a black screen with the prompt - no bootable device; insert boot disk and press any key.
    Any thoughts on this? I put an ISO image on my desktop and also created an image on a USB drive - however it has encryption software on it which did not get overwritten so Im not sure if this is why that won't boot.
    Does anyone know if the Superdrive can't be used?
    My macbook is 3 weeks old - it is all the latest and greatest stuff...

  • ITunes for Windows (64bit) Runs as 32bit!

    I have Windows 8 Pro 64 bit, and when I install iTunes (labeled on the download site as 64 bit), it runs as a 32 bit program!  I've tried both running the setup directly from download, and downloading the file then running setup.  I have other 64 bit apps running fine - what gives????

    There is a 64-bit installer for 64-bit Windows. The core application is still 32-bit. This is not uncommon.

  • Need USB 3.0 driver for Windows 7 running in Fusion

    Greetings -
        I have a MacBookpro Retina that is about 3 weeks old.  So far it is running fairly well.  I have installed Fusion5 and am running Windows7 Ultimate 64 bit.  I have run into an issue however with my WD my passport 2tb USB3.0 drives.  they are seen in OS X 10.8 and work fine.  but when I try to attach to them with Windows 7 I get a message that the drivers are not installed and the drive is NOT seen in My computer.
      I have narrowed it down to be a driver issue because when I attach the drive to a USB2.0 hub the drive is seen and works fine. I have to run Windows 7 as windows 8 performance is totally unacceptable and I discovered that some software I have that is windows only is not compatible with Windows8.  I have tried a couple of intel drivers but they won't install so I am guessing I am trying to use the wrong ones.  If they are in the support software for boot camp they are not redily recognizable since I have all that and there is nothing marked USB3 support. 
      I am headed to Afghanistan soon (contractor) so I really need to get this thing working properly.  any and all help will be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers, RDJ

  • Help? Adobe Acrobat 11 Standard - just purchased for windows 7 now I can't open pdf files or attach?

    Help!!!
    I just puchased the latest Adobe Acrobat XI Standard.
    I put in the Serial Key number but my computer tells me that a qualifying product could not be found on my computer so I can't use the adobe product. So now I can't open any files or attach pdf files onto emails without this message coming up. I've un-installed the "Adobe Acrobat XI Standard twice! with no luck.
    I need it sorted ASAP as I'm trying to work! Any suggestions?

    DotBellaParis if you are being asked for a qualifying product then it would appear you purchased an upgrade to Acrobat XI Standard.  You should have the opportunity to enter the serial number for your previous purchase of Acrobat.  You can find information on how to locate your previous serial numbers at http://forums.adobe.com/message/3987968#3987968?promoid=KBHJW.
    If you did not intend to purchase an upgrade then I would recommend submitting a return request.  You can find more details on submitting a return at Return, cancel, or exchange an Adobe order - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/return-cancel-or-change-order.html.  Once you have returned the upgrade you can then purchase the full version which will not ask you for a qualifying product or serial number.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Okay.
    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Tecra M3 - What about drivers for Windows Vista

    It is nearly one week after Vista premiere - and siell there is no drivers for Tecra M3!
    I've installed drivers form Tecra M5 (similar hardware) - and some of them works perfect - but some of them - doesn't work,
    When can I expect drivers support for my laptop form Toshiba?
    Actually - this is not to old laptop - it has Pentium M - 2,13, 2GB Ram, GF 6600TE 128MB... so it is profoundly enough for Vista
    But drivers and software like Toshiba Power Saver, or Fn keys? - when? anybody knows?
    Ps. sorry for my english,
    Thanks a lot
    mark

    Hi Mark
    If the notebook is not ??Vista capable?? I presume it will not be supported. I have older non-Vista supported Satellite. Vista runs well and I don??t care about Toshiba specific stuff.
    Probably notebook and PC manufacturers have decide to make some kind of ??dead line?? and all products produced before this line will not be supported. Bad for us consumers, but good for PC industry!
