X61 Windows setup [ems aktiviert] - how to deactivate in boot menu?

I have a x61 thinkpad with Vista. Recently I installed Win 7 via a bootable USB stick. For this I had to set the boot menu so that the computer starts from the USB stick. After installing Win 7 I reset the Boot order to default.
Now everytime I start my computer a boot selection appears:
1. Win 7 Professional
2. Windows Setup (EMS aktiviert)
This is very annoying as I dont want to enter the windows setup. How can I deactivate this selection so that the computer directly starts Win 7 without entering the boot menu?
Thanks for any help!

Thanx for the rapid response. I had tried that prior to posting and it didn't help. I went to System preferences>Desktop & Screen saver and there is was sitting in Desktop, the image of Windows boot manager screen. No clue as to how it got there ut changing the desktop image cleared it from my screen.
Thanks again for trying to help.

Sharing setup on a new iMac

I've set up my new iMac using Setup Assistant because I did not want to bring over problems from my old MacMini with Migration Assistant. It all seemed to go OK, but the account name on the iMac is not the same as on the Mini, but very similar (don't know how that happened). Now I cannot get File or Screen Sharing to work between my MacBookPro and the new iMac.
I've checked firewalls and permissions on both machines, each Mac can see the other in the Finder, but the connection never completes. All machines are on LAN/WiFi using an Airport Express. The problem must be wrong credentials. One solution is to import my username and stuff from the MacBook Pro using Migration Assistant, but will this overwrite the user I have already set up? And what about the apps I've already installed?
How do I troubleshoot this? Is it even fixable? Thanks in advance for any help.

To answer my own question, after rebooting everything I'm now getting prompts for the creds and it works OK.

New iMac email acting strange missing and flashing text

Having a problem with mail,
bought my new iMac and setup mailboxes.
all emaiil from comcast server was downloaded (more thaqn 35,000 mail messages)
when browsing mail I noticed mail body text was not showing in the preview window, but the message showed in the list.
I could see the message if I doubleclicked on it and opened it.
sometimes the mail text and images would be flashing and sometimes missing, other times present.
I called Apple support and went through several steps to try and zero in on the problem.
we reset and reindexed.
we created a copy of the mail folder on the desktop
Created a new mailbox and mail seemed to work OK, until the mail folder was imported into the new mailbox, then I had the same weird problem.
somehow, when I went back to my original mailbox, there were none of the old mail items in the mailbox and they were all missing from the mail server.
All the 35,000 emails were gone. It looks like the setting in the new mailbox must have been set to delete emails from the server (maybe as a default)
after a few weeks, the mailbox continued to accumulate emails and I have not seen that problem again.
It appears that there was some mail buffer in the new iMac that got overloaded or exceeded capacity and couldn't handle the 35,000 emails.
But, I need to recover those deleted emails.
Has anyone found the cause for this erratic behavior whith large mail folders?
I still have that old mail folder
how can I restore it and recover those emails, without erasing what I now have (new emails) from the server?
is there a limit on the number of emails on the iMac? my old Mac dual G5 system didn't have this problem.
Thanks,
Matt

You could try importing the mailboxes (File ▹ Import Mailboxes) from the old Mail folder, at the risk of possibly corrupting the database again. There is no fixed limit on the number of messages, and the number you had is not unusual. It's corrupt messages that cause problems.

A PC can have more issues connecting than a Mac.
But it really should not matter.. so just try it in situ.. press and hold the reset.. once it starts up, it will return to default IP, 10.0.1.1 the PC should then be able to find it via the airport utility.
If not drag it over to the Mac and plug in there by ethernet.. or since it is a laptop, really should not be that difficult to drag the Laptop and plug it into the TC.
Important thing is to get access to the TC.
The Mac if it is running lion, then you MUST download and install 5.6 airport utility to do anything useful.

Driver issue with Windows 8.1 on new iMac 2013

Just got a brand new iMac and am attempting to install Windows 8.1 on it. The Boot Camp Assistant kept timing out on the support software download so I downloaded Boot Camp 5.0.5033 from Apple support and put that on my external FAT drive.
I was able to get Windows installed, but when I attempted to run setup.exe off of my external drive, I got a "Boot Camp x64 is unsupported on this computer model" error. I was able to work around this by running bootcamp.msi from a DOS prompt in administrator mode at which point the install seemed to go through successfully.
Despite that, I'm still getting no love on WiFI, bluetooth, audio, etc. I'm attempting to download again through Boot Camp Assistant on the hope that there's a later version for my machine that's not yet available for direct download but am not optimistic.
Any thoughts/ideas would be great appreciated. Note that I am running the latest everything on the Mac side (recent 10.8.5 Combo).
Thanks in advance.

Actually, that link is exactly what got me in trouble. Use Boot Camp Assistant to get the drivers.
As of this writing, Boot Camp 5.0.5033 will not adequately set up your drivers on a new iMac with Windows 8.1.
The only way I was able to get the WiFi working was to use the drivers automatically downloaded by Boot Camp Assistant. Presmably this is a newer version than 5.0.5033 but I haven't been able to find it anywhere else for download.
I should also note that I was having some DirectX issues running graphics intensive software even after updating through Boot Camp Assistant. These were resolved by downloading the latest driver for my video card (GeForce 780M). There might be other issues that will require a manual driver update but I've yet to run into any more.
Best of luck.

The window where Domain Name, Edit, Modify doesn't show up to access my Fatcow website on my new iMac in Firefox (the only browser Macs can use). Help!

Just got a new iMac. For the first few days, I was able to log in to, then access the window in Fatcow web host that allows me to make changes to my website. Now, the window that is supposed to say "Domain Name" and "Edit" and "Modify" is blank, so I cannot access my website to make changes. Firefox is the only browser available to Macs through Fatcow. In the two weeks before getting the iMac, I had the same problem on an Acer laptop. Hughesnet is our internet provider, since we live in the country. I have worked with several Fatcow techs, and they do not believe the problem is on their end. When I open Firefox, there is now also a message that says I'm missing plugins, yet when I follow the plugin link, no plugins are listed as missing. I have removed/reinstalled Firefox, to no avail. I have turned off the clear-cookies-automatically add-on, cleared the cache and history, etc., to no avail. I have printed out the HTML script for the Fatcow window from my Mac at work (from which I can access the window) and compared to the one at home. There doesn't appear to be any script missing, but I can't say for sure. I have read several articles, hoping for clues to fixing this problem. Now I need your technical expertise. HELP!

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
<b> To Enable SafeMode </b>
*You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
*''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox"; Linux: "Firefox/File > Quit")

Need to run windows on new imac with lion. where do i get windows for mac?

I have a new iMac and am new to Apple after 30+ years with PC-based hardware & software. First of all, and not to offend, but anyone who says Mac computers are easier to use than Windows computers must be talking about people who just came out of the jungle and are seeing their first computer. Sorry, I just needed to get that off my chest. That aside, I have legacy software that I need to run on the Mac (actually, one of the programs is CALLED Legacy). I'm told that if I want to use Bootcamp or Parallels software I need to install Windows on the Mac. Is that a special kind of Windows made for Mac, or will just any old Windows do? I've checked Bing and Google but they're so "ad-crazed" that I couldn't find anything.
I'm sure that, after 30 more years, I'll probably have the Mac OS down and find Windows 21 (or whatever they'll call it) to be difficult to use. .

Nope. Any flavor should work including both 32- and 64-bit versions. See these for more:

I am using Photoshop CS5 on a new iMac with a wireless keyboard. I used to be able to hit F11 to perform a custom sharpening action but now the F11 key is the volume control key and I have tried everything to disable or switch the volume key. I have also tried assigning other function keys to initiate the action. Is there a simple solution to this? What am I missing?

Try unmounting the volume on your iMac using Disk Utility. Then mount it again. You may need to reboot the laptop or relaunch its Finder process (using the Force Quit window) after remounting the drive on your iMac. Remember that no process may be accessing any files on the drive you plan to unmount, or the unmount will fail. Unmounting and remounting an external drive on my iMac made it become visible on my MacBook Pro after it had disappeared.

IMac 24" Bootcamp scrambled video Problem in Windows Setup.

I just got a new iMac 24" today and was wondering if anyone else's iMacs are exhibiting display problems in boot camp (see picture links below and description) while in the windows setup screen or other LOW RESOLUTION screen modes.
http://disgruntleddesigner.com/imac.JPG
http://disgruntleddesigner.com/imac2.JPG
http://disgruntleddesigner.com/imac3.JPG
In low resolutions screen modes used by windows setup and the windows boot screen, the display is completely scrambled with moving pixel artifacts such as black vertical lines and misplaced color pixels all over the place.
The computer is a brand new 24" iMac 2.4 with all the latest OS updates. I called Apple's tech support and explained the situation and as soon as the tech rep heard the word bootcamp
he essentially turned his ears off. While I understand Apple doesn't support bootcamp I'm pretty sure this is a hardware/firmware issue and NOT a bootcamp thing.. but they suggest I write here instead of bothering them... so here's my plea for help.

Update.. I exchanged the computer for another at Best Buy and this one does NOT have this issue. I suspect it's a firmware or hardware thing after all.

How to install Windows XP on new iMac - Bootcamp or Parallels?

Hi
I'm very new to the Mac world. I just purchased a lovely new iMac.
I would like to install my Windows XP Professional (SP3) on to my iMac.
I purchased Parallels Desktop 5 for Mac and before I do anything, I want to know what I should do first.
Do I install the Windows disk through bootcamp first and then install Parallels Desktop 5?
or
Can I bypass bootcamp all together and install Windows through Parallels?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
amatxilinda

Parallels 6 comes out on the 14th.
http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/10/09/09/parallelsdesktop_6_for_mac_to_launch_sept_14_with_80_newfeatures.html
If you will never want to run Windows natively, then you don't need Boot Camp. Otherwise, install first on its own partition, get it setup, then Parallels, and only then activate. Or reactivate. After you have Parallels Tools installed.
Really ought to check on Parallels forum.

To get the hang of OS X, no matter level of expertise, even though Apple has their 101 Help and Switching, "Missing Manual for OS X" is excellent 900pg reference to get the most out of it.

Problems installing Windows 7 on new iMac?

I've heard from users on other forums that there are some problems installing Windows 7 on the new iMacs, mainly that the display goes blank partway through installation due to some kind of driver issue. Can anyone confirm this or elaborate? I've heard there is a workaround but it sounds a bit complicated and I'm wondering if I should just wait until Apple patches Boot Camp with full Win7 support.

I would wait until Apple updates Boot Camp to officially support Windows 7.

FYI - There is a forum for Boot Camp

How do I stop parallels and windows 7 preventing me from installing office for mac 2011 on my new iMac?

I am trying to install office for mac 2011 on my new imac which I have already installed parallels and windows 7. On inserting the office dvd the computer defaults to windows. Parallels support suggested disabling the dvd drive in parallels. I have tried this but still the computer wants to open the exe file with windows. Any ideas please?

Cannot disable "New Message" window from popping up

Each time I click the Messages icon in my dock, immediately the "New Message" window pops up. However, I may not necessarily want to compose a new message; most of the time, I just want to view my buddy list to see who's online. It becomes rather annoying to have to close the "New Message" window every single time. Does anyone know how to disable this? Thanks in advance!

Hi,
It cannot be Disabled as such.
Click and Hold the DOCK icon and then choose "Show All Windows"
This then displays all the windows like when you Quit.
You can select the Messages window or Buddy list
The Message Window does not set up New Message this way.
You will notice in the DOCK menu that "New Message" is the default action.

Windows 8.1 on new iMac HELP??

Hi everyone! I'm trying to install Windows 8.1 on my new iMac (Mavericks 10.9.4, late 2013 27") I went through the Boot Camp Assistant process, installing the support software, partition, & created an ISO disk from the Windows 8.1 DVD. I rebooted my Mac to start the Windows installer, and everything was going well until it came time to choose where to install Windows. I chose the Bootcamp partition and got the error that reads "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is of the GPT partition style." What am I supposed to do?? Any help would be appreciated Thanks in advance.

Not sure if this helps, but when you have begun to install windows and have selected the language and entered the serial, you should be asked to choose your drive? I am assuming this is the point at which you are getting the message?
If so, select the drive labelled bootcamp and then click the option for format.
You mean select drive, then Advanced Options, then select Format.
