What version of windows 7 do i need for my iMac?

How do I figure out if I need 32bit or 64 Bit Windows 7 for running windows 7 professional on my I Mac? Ir does it matter?

32 bit is not the "better choice". Your Apple computer is a 64 bit computer. Newer Windows programs are 64 bit. If you have more than about 3.5GB of RAM you must use 64 bit in order to address all your RAM. Windows 64 bit will run older programs written for 32bit systems.
There is no reason to use 32bit and many reasons to use 64bit Windows.

    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 It says my current version (5.1.10) is outdated.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.

    Leopard is no longer avilable from Apple, and costs around $200 on eBay or Amazon.

    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 windows do I need to download onto my mac?

    Hello. I have a macbook pro OSX 10.7.5.
    I am looking to get windows on my mac, but am unsure what version of windows I need/ should use... I just want it for a handful of programs and games that I can't run on my mac, so it doesn't need to be anything top of the line... Any ideas? Thanks!

  • 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

    "Parallels Desktop 8 for Mac"
    What is the difference? (kinda know the difference)
    And Why?
    (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 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:

  • Which version of windows 7 is needed for vmware fusion 5 - 32 or 64 bit

    I just downloaded VMWare Fusion 5 and am in the process of getting Windows 7 from the Microsoft Store. Which version of windows is needed to run properly on my Mac - 32-bit or 64-bit? I believe it's the .iso application too, right?
    Thanks!

    Thanks again
    32 or 64 makes little difference, and when you are not running Windows (Fusion) your Mac has all the power it had before you installed Windows.

  • What version of Windows 7 for bootcamp?

    Hi, ive found many games I want to play are pc only, and I have the new 21.5 inch Imac. So I have turned to trying Bootcamp. So I was wondering what version of Windows 7 is best for bootcamp? And a link would help greatly too!
    Thanks!

    32-bit sees 3.5 GB RAM max.
    64-bit Home sees 16 GB RAM max.
    64-bit Pro sees 192 GB RAM max, and has an XP mode for older programs.
    64-bit Pro may not be worth the extra cost for your situation.

  • What version of windows is best to run on an Early 2008 IMac?

    What version of Windows is best to run on an Early 2008 IMac? And should I use Boot Camp, Parallels, or VMWare? My IMac will be a secondary computer now that I got a new IMac. The Early 2008 IMac is an Intel Core 2 Duo with 2GB memory, and 2.66 ghz processor speed. It is also running OSX 10.9.5 and Boot Camp is version 5.1.2.
    I mostly want to do this so I can get rid of an old Windows machine that I just use to run Quicken on. I think I need to do this since Intuit does not support online bill pay for Apple versions of Quicken.
    I am average with computers so any help would be really appreciated.
    Thanks
    Rocco

    Bootcamp gives you access to underlying hardware on the iMac unlike VMware or Parallels. It does require reboot. Most VM engines let you take a Bootcamp Windows and run it as VM where a reboot can be avoided. With 2GB of memory, you should be able to Windows 7, but I would not recommend W8.
    You may also want to look at - Boot Camp: System requirements for Microsoft Windows operating systems.

  • Which version of Windows Server 2012 needs to be ordered so that I can downgrade to Windows Server 2008 64bit Standard SP2

    Dears in Microsoft,
    We need to have Windows Server 2008 Standard SP2 64bit to be installed and due to the fact it is no more available in Microsoft.
    I am going to order Windows 2012 with 16 CAL in order to downgrade it to Windows 2008 Standard SP2 64bit. My question is:
    1. Which version of Windows Server 2012 needs to be ordered so that I can downgrade to Windows Server 2008 64bit Standard SP2?
    2. what else required in terms of product key, media, license...etc?
    Appreciate your kind supports.

    Any licensing questions are always best addressed by a trained Microsoft licensing specialist.  You can find whom to call by looking at www.microsoft.com/licensing.
    One of the built-in rights of a Windows Server license is the right to run earlier versions of the operating system.  So if you purchase either Standard or Datacenter, you can run 2008 Standard.
    However, that does not provide the media or activation codes for earlier versions of the operating sytem.  You have to obtain those via other channels.  You should most likely contact a Microsoft reseller and talk to them.  They will
    most likely have a trained licensing specialist on hand to help answer your questions, and they should also be able to provide media for earlier distributions (for a slight fee).

  • What version of Windows is IE6/7 running on?

    Hello,
    I have been testing out some HTML5/CSS3 code, which uses the Modernizr script to render the new HTML5 classes in older browsers. I've had some trouble with layout in IE6 and IE7 on my test site (http://www.bluedutch.com/cafe/index.html), so I prompted the user to install the Chrome Frame plug-in (http://code.google.com/chrome/chromeframe/) for IE <=7.
    When viewing the site in these browsers, the user should be prompted to install the plugin. When I preview the site in BL in IE6/7, I get the window prompting to install the plugin, but the plugin window displays a message "We are sorry. Google Chrome Frame is only available for IE 6,7,8, and 9 on Windows 7, Vista, XP SP2 or greater."
    I've uploaded a screenshot of the issue here: http://www.bluedutch.com/cafe/screenshot.jpg
    I'm just curious what version of Windows IE is rendering the screenshots from, since the plugin doesn't seem to detect it in one of the aforementioned. Are IE 8 and 9, as well as the other Windows browsers running on the same Windows platform? Since rendering seems to be very platform dependent in Windows, I was curious about how this issue might be affecting website display.
    Thanks,
    Marie

    Thanks Mark!
    That explains the Chrome plugin issue I am seeing.
    I've commented out the get Chrome plugin for IE7 on the site, just so you can see the behavior in IE7.
    If I understand Modernizr, the layout should look similar to IE8, but some of the new HTML5 tags, like <menu> aren't aligning properly, and some of the other divs are messed up. This could be due to font sizing in my CSS, and maybe some other unrecognized classes that IE7 just doesn't get, which I will also investigate further.
    But if you do find out any info on your side that would be helpful, I'd really appreciate any thoughts.
    The BrowserLab is very useful, by the way! I just discovered it yesterday after searching in vain for ways to render pages from my Mac on Windows browsers. Thanks for its implementation and support!

  • 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.
