What version of W7 do I need for bootcamp?

I have decided to bootcamp windows 7 on my 15" MBP retina purchased in JAN13 to run a few programs I have. I hate to do this but seems to be my only options if I want to run them. I moved to Apple to unchain myself from the windows operating system.
My question is this.......
I have never built a computer, done a fresh install of an operating system or bootcamped before. What version of windows 7 do I need? I look them up online and theres several ranging $99 to $300.
I know there are "upgrade" versions of windows and these will not work for bootcamp so I want to avoid a miss purchase. I can not easly return anything I buy. I am in the military and currently deployed so I cant just run to the local electronics store to return them .
I am also in a location where downloading programs the size of windows 7 would take 3 days, so that options out as well. I need to purchase the CD's and have them sent to me.
Will this verion of windows work to boot camp
Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64bit (OEM) System Builder DVD 1 Pack
Thank you in advance for your help, sincerly
Ken

What would you recommend bootcamp or run parallel's program?

(i guess thats 3 rolled into 1)
Sorry for the repeat questions. just want to make sure I do this right the first time........love my MBP dont want to mess it up.

What version of Safari do I need for Gmail?

What version of Safari do I need for Gmail? It says my current version (5.1.10) is outdated.

Any, but if you continue to use an unsupported version, many of Gmail’s features will eventually disappear. Lion and newer contain supported versions of Safari; alternatively, you can switch browsers.

The update, which failed for you in Mail because you had moved Mail out of the Applications folder, where it needed to be to be found, or it was sitting inside another folder there, changed the version to 4.6 and you are getting that message because it's seeing the "old" version.

What version of ACR do I need for my Sony A37 for Elements 6 ?

I am having a problem finding the version of ACR I need for my Sony Alpha37 - I use Elements 6

For the SLT-A37 you have two alternatives:
(1) Upgrade to PSE 11. (2) Download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
Windows download click here DNG Converter 7.3
Mac download click here DNG Converter 7.3
You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

What version of abobe do i need?

What version of adobe do i need to have in order to be able to delete pages once a file in pdf?

Hi Joanna,
Acrobat Standard can do all the basic editing on a PDF. Acrobat Professional can do everything that Acrobat Standard does, plus it can do a bunch of other functions, few of them is mentioned below:
Convert PDF files to Microsoft PowerPoint files and update text, tables, objects, and master layouts with ease
Insert audio, Adobe Flash® Player compatible video, and interactive media for direct playback in Adobe Reader
Compare and highlight the differences between two versions of a PDF
Permanently delete sensitive text and illustrations with redaction tools
The comparison matrix is already shared with you (http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/product-comparison.html), which contains the detailed product comparison.
However, it depends on how you want to use the product, if you just want to delete pages from a PDF file, you can use Acrobat Standard for that.
Please let me know what more you wish to do with the PDF files using Adobe Acrobat, and then I suggest you which Acrobat (Standard or Pro) you should purchase.

What version of Adobe do I need?

What version of Adobe do I need to save fillable forms with the information remaining intact?

The fillable pdf file are set to either allow u to save the data you enter back to the pdf or it does not. it doesnt matter which pdf reader you use. The only way for u to save the fillable infor is if you open it under acrobat, or if you change the setting under acrobat which allows you to save the file with filled data.
To change the setting of the pdf so the fillable can be save under pdf reader is open it with acrobat and click save-as->reader extended pdf->enable additional features...

Upgrade to CS2, what version of photoshop do i need?

I have just bought Creative suite 2 premium, it is new and sealed, but the seller didnt tell me I would need a copy of photoshop to use this software as an upgrade. What version of photoshop do I need? and could I get away with an elements version of photoshop for the upgrade as this would save me £££.
Cheers

CS2 is not vista compatible.
BTW, shrink-wrap machinery is cheap.
Thirty-five years ago a company called Sam Goody had unbelievable sales
on records (now known as vinyl). They were advertised weekly in the NY
Times and other newspapers. The records came in original sealed
packages. The chain of Sam Goody stores was eventually convicted of
bootlegging their disks. That was how they were able to afford their
sales. They weren't paying the distributors for many of the disks sold.
I used to buy hardware from another well-known electronics store in NY.
I always bought new. I was having trouble with a certain company's VCR.
The VCRs were all shrink-wrapped in original boxes. After returning 5
VCRs, one of the guards took pity on me and told me that I should stop
trying to get that model VCR since at this point I was likely getting
one of the same VCRs that I returned. That was over 20 years ago.
If shrink-wraping machines were available then---they are probably
prolific now.
Shrink-wrap, bar codes, part numbers are no guarantee that something is
not bootleg. That is why Microsoft goes through great lengths to create
seals that are hard to replicate. If a deal is too good, there is a
reason for it. Just a heads up.

What kind of wireless card I need for my Power Mac G5 (late 2005) Dual 2 GH

hi there,
I have for sometime now a "Power Mac G5 (late 2005) Dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5", and recently I have been thinking to get an Airport extreme wireless card with a bluetooth on it, which could work on my machine.
I have already try to deal with apple representatives and Apple sales people to give me a hand on the matter and so far is been a nightmare to approach this guys, tired of wasting time and effort, so that is way I am posting a topic on this section to see if you guys could give a hand on the matter.
All what I would like to know is what kind of wireless card I need for my Power Mac G5 (late 2005) Dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5 (version 10.4.11) and where I could buy one on line to install myself.
This is the mac unit I have.
Dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5.
Hardware Overview:
Machine Name: Power Mac G5
Machine Model: PowerMac11,2
CPU Type: PowerPC G5 (1.1)
Number Of CPUs: 2
CPU Speed: 2 GHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 1 MB
Memory: 4.5 GB
Bus Speed: 1 GHz
Boot ROM Version: 5.2.7f1
Thanks for you time.
regards
Toyko koyko

You're welcome. Funny how Apple works isn't it? If it's any consolation, that Airport/Bluetooth card doesn't show up on the Apple U.S. store either. I don't think they ever intended it to be a user installable part, so perhaps that's why they don't offer it for sale. Do you have any Apple Authorized Service providers in your area? I'd think they'd be able to order the card as a replacement part.
Can you give a little more detail or a link to the gadget you're referring to? It sounds like a USB dongle to enable Wi-Fi, but that must be a third party solution, since I don't believe Apple ever offered something like that.

HT1515 which version of Airport Utility is needed for my Airport Express A1084????

How can I find out which version of Airport Utility is needed for my Airport Express A1084????

I have this issue, too. The problem with the advice from Saito_Chickara is that Mavericks (I'm on 10.9.2) does not allow you to run AirPort Utility 5.x. So for those of us on Mavericks, what can we do? I have yet to find a solution. This is really frustrating.

What version of ASA software supports Netflow for traffic analyzing?

What version of ASA software supports Netflow for traffic analyzing. The version of software we are running on the PIX is 7.2.4. Bottom line, I need to know if it’s able to send any “netflow” data to an analyzer. I have not found anything that states it supports it.
Any help or guidance is appreciated.
Thanks!

What version of Java do I need? I am running Mac OSX 10.6.3.

What version of Java do I need? I am running Mac OSX 10.6.3 on a MacPro 8 Core. I have downloaded Java Updates 5, 6 and 12 but they won't install. Can anyone offer suggestions?
Many thanks, Harry.

Disable Java (not Javascript) in all your web browsers preferences, that's the attack vector, via java web pages applets.
There is also Java 6 on OS X (10.6) itself already (comes installed) via the Java Preferences in Applications/Utilities folder, leave this on for Java based programs your using.
10.6 can't use Java 7 and Oracle is dropping support for Java 6 this month.
Since your not going to use Java 6 online, then your Java programs should work as long as you don't update.
Don't use Safari online as it hasn't been updated for 10.6 (10.7+ has Safari 6) use Firefox as it does get updates.

What kind of mac would I need for Nexflix, basic search and email? Also, sounds silly, but can I connect an HDMI from Mac to tv?

Just an FYI. The Macs named PowerMac date from early 2006 and before. Use this tip to discover where to post once you get your Mac:
Site map of Communities and Categories
The cheapest Mac available new is a Mac Mini. It is no bigger than many an external hard drive. But the screen and keyboard and mouse must be purchased separately. They support USB and Bluetooth keyboards and mice, and pretty much any DVI, HDMI, or displayport display. Although the iMac is certainly an attractive option if all you want to deal with is deciding on a printer. I still recommend getting an Apple USB keyboard for the occasional times you may need to troubleshoot startup issues. Normally not a problem, but as it gets older some issues can be fixed at startup or diagnosed at startup.

Sorry for my typo. Ofice 2008 will continue to run on Leopard and Leopard includes Safari 5.0.6. A G4 s an old machine and you will not get much speed when surfing the internet.
Leopard is no longer avilable from Apple, and costs around $200 on eBay or Amazon.
