Windows install on IMAC causes machine to switch off in the middle of the i

I have an 17 inch Intel based IMAC that was bought two years ago with both Windows and apple OS. I bought the newer 20 inch IMAC ( Model IMAC 7,1) last month and i can see that bootcamp is now part of the Leopard OS located in utilities, i upgraded the IMAC to the latest firmware ( BootRom 1M71.007A.B03 ) and the SMC i have seems to be the latest for this machine. I also downloaded the latest software upgrade ant it shows 10.5.2 i think, i tried running the bootcamp to tool, created the windows partition ok, i inserted the Windows XP Home with SP2 and it starts the windows instalation, with all the blue screens and all, when it gets to copyng the windows files from the CD, it gets to about 50% and the IMAC switches off, i tried this several times with same results, what am i doing wrong? Have any of you come across this problem?

What is your exact machine and what's the error

In the middle of the installation processing, this has appeared: "There is a problem with the windows installer package. A program is required for this install to complete could not be run." my question is, what is that specific program?

Safe to switch off iMac regularly, safe to switch off iMac regularly

hi guys - im a little embarassed even asking this question but im new to mac and the manual says to only shut down the imac if you are not going to use it for a few days otherwise put into sleep
thing is i only use my imac about an hour every night but i prefer turning it off as im at work the next day - dont like leaving anything on. will it cause more and wear if i dont use the sleep ?
thanks

You will get strong opinions for both; IMHO, if you're only using it for about an hour, there is nothing wrong with shutting it down - I do that if I'm not going to use it for a longer period because I'd rather not be connected to the internet automatically 24/7 and prefer not to waste natural resources. I'm aware that the manual suggests letting it sleep; a senior Apple advisor told me that he shuts his down regularly. I've tried both methods and prefer shutting it down at least 2 - 3 times per week because there are certain checks it goes through during bootup which will be missed by just letting it sleep and I've never had a problem with a hard drive because of it (or for any other reason for that matter). As for the maintenance scripts which run in the middle of the night - they are no longer as important as they used to be and if you'll let it sleep once or so per week, they will run automatically when it wakes up.

Open "Java Preferences" either from spotlight or your utilities folder...it's probably going to say you need to install a java runtime. Then just click install!

Ok. So my iTunes started acting up a few months ago. ALL of the songs I purchased from the iTunes store stop in the middle of the song and then go back to the begining (I keep it on repeat one song by the way). Please help!!! (Windows 7) I would really like to hear my songs all the way through, but I can't . I tried the "Convert Protected ACC files to Purchased ACC files fix" but it DIDN'T work. I don't know what to do. It does it when I transfer the music onto my Classic too.

What do you mean "doesn't recognize"?

I have a Seagate Freeagent 1TB external drive that ejects it's self in the middle of the time machine backup, then disappears and can't be found unless I turn it off and back on again. Any ideas?

Hmmm.. sorry to jump in but...
I Wish I had seen this before I got mine.
Mine has been doing this auto eject stuff too.
I think I just plugged it in and TM let me select it but is it possible
I should have reformatted it with DU first, like with all the WD drive problems ?
Is it too late for that ?
Or just try to return it or get rid of it ?
TIA

Hi
A little information will be of a great help, witch iPhone did you upgrade, memory , and version of software ( iOS 8.x.x )?
Try restarting you iPhone and make sure you have a god internet connection , get as close to your wifi router (1-3 meter / 2-9 feet ) as possible. Don't use restore to factory settings before you tried other options . And most imported du you have an iCloud backup.

When I quit itunes it restarts again with the dot under the itunes logo but the iTunes window doesn't open until I click the icon on the dock. Also in the middle of the size vale in the size column the value starts with a number then a ? then a number.

Since I upgraded to IOS 7.0.2, many times I am unable to answer the calls. Then I have to switch off and on to answer the calls. I checked with my three friends who updated and they are also facing same problem. Kindly let me know the solution.

Since other millions of people updated and do not have that problem - it means one of two.
1.Your friends lied to you and do not have that problem and in that case only your installation of ios7 got corrupted and you need to restore your phone.
2.Your friends didn't lie to you and all 4 of you need to restore phones (that way reinstalling ios 7 properly)
here are instructions for restore and you may have to backup before restore.
