cool iMac install questions

I was gifted a 2007 iMac which had its hard drive wiped clean and unformatted.  My goal is to run El Capitan, as it is the most ancient iMac that has the ability (after that I updated the RAM - 4 GB).  Since I formatted the hard drive and an installation of an external SSD drive.  When I boot from the installable SSD, it begins the process, but fails and throws the code black and white on white screen & the Apple logo.

I installed a new hard drive and El Capitan on a Macbook ' 08 using this exact process, but did not succeed with the iMac.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Are you sure that your is a mid-2007 model? It is the oldest support El Cap - the previous model only supports up to 10.7.5. No matter when it was purchased, but the model identifier, it presents itself, and since you have no access, you can't get that.

  • OfficeJet Pro 8600 Software for iMac install Question

    I have a new iMac 27 "10.8.2 OSX operating system software. I just bought OfficeJet Pro 8600 N911g and the software supplied with the 8600 install no sound for OSX 10.7. He had 2 choices on the HP website to download and install. I chose officeJet-Pro - 8600_v12.23.0 on the OfficeJet-Pro - 8600_v12.14.0. Someone can tell me if I had the appropriate injector or is there a choice somewhere. It seems to me that the software is missing things especially in the optical reading area.

  • Free Windows 7 Upgrade Clean install questions

    Hi, I have recently buy a Mini 5101 it comes with XP Pro and Vista Business... I currently have Vista Business installed on it. I wonder about the process of upgrading to windows 7. On the free upgrade Web site it is said that the operating system can be upgraded to windows 7, according to the weather, I have vista (upgrade straigh) or xp (must be a stable cleaning). Now, my question is can I perform a clean installation with this upgrade? I know that normally you can perform a clean install via the insertion of the disc of the previous operating system media during installation, but as the Min 5101 is a netbook (no cd drive) I will probably install it via a USB key. It is very important for me to have a clean install.

    On the upgrade Web site, it says that if you are using XP pro, you must perform a clean installation. It would be better for me to install XP now order the update, and then install Vista so that I can get the version that will allow me to perform a clean installation - or I'd get the same disc anyway?

    I know the installation disc doesn't have not yet been outside and not so should know the process entirely. Kind of hope that someone will have knowledge on this subject.

    The installation media will allow you to perform a clean installation 'upgrade' using product key of the current operating system during installation. This allows him to check that you are upgrading from a previous version of Windows.

  • HP Compaq 6370b: Clean partition Win 7 install question

    My first post.

    I have a laptop HP Compaq 6370b, S/N [number of Series edited by Moderator] running Win XP and plan on running a new install for Win 7 Pro 32 bit. I have upgraded the BIOS (as suggested by the forum) at F.20 on 16/12/2014 and reviewed messages on the partition for HP tools. My question is when I format the existing HHD I must add a partition for the HP tools? A response by Dragon fur message leads me to believe that the download and installation of HP tools UEFI create a folder on the operating system drive and I would not require an additional partition.  Thanks for your help.

    Hello

    Should uefi tools be installed on a separate FAT or Fat32 partition to work properly

    When you download and run the UEFI software, the installer will give you the opportunity to automatically create the HP_TOOLS partition (if it does not already exist on the HARD disk) - for more details, see the "Prerequisites" topic on the following link.

  • KB2668562 update error install question

    I run Vista Home premium 32-bit with Vista SP 2

    Like many yesterday, I downloaded and insalled microsoft updates for February 2012.

    And like many, I got an error with the update of Silverlight 2668562 KB

    Then after I have installed all the other updates I received a default on KB2668562\\So see the 80070643 error code message, I went to the

    get help with this error link

    Panel aide said error can be caused by Microsoft Office 2003 or Windows .NET framework. I don't have Microsoft Office 2003, I had to conclude that the error was due to Windows .NET framework.  So I clicked on the link on how to run the error code 80070643.

    This page contained a fix it (fix 50123)

    So I ran that repair. Then after the fix, it is run, I noticed that I can't run the 2668562 KB

    Then I come to the microsoft answers and notice that there is a problem with the update and not my system

    BUT and this is where my real question isSince I ran the fix it and was not necessary, that will cause problems for my system?

    1. . I don't see the patch in my list of updates (see history of update). I know that in the past that "fixes" would come in the history of windows updated

    (Control Panel > Security > Windows Update > view update history). Does that mean that the fix, it didn't run and install?

    2. MORE importantly

    If a course set (50123) for Windows .NET Framework and this difficulty, it was NOT necessary, run this fix it mess up the computer?

  • vCenter Server install Question

    Hello fellow professionals of computer science,

    My question is based on 1 single step in installing vCenter. The part of the installation that I have a question about is the destination directories. In this step, it gives you the option to use the default directory or change the directory where the server vCenter Server is installed. Then just below that is the ability to change the directory data for the vCenter Server server are installed too. My question is when he says data do you mean virtual machines? I ask because I have little space to work with the vCenter Server alone. If the data for the vCenter server means computer virtual vhd then I can change that to a SAN that has at least 5-6 to a value space.

    Hello

    The vCenter Server allocates any virtual machine inside the disks.

    This means installation vCenter only data. You point where the virtual machine is preserved when you create a new virtual machine (normally on storage)

  • First time to install Question

    I am doing my first bare metal installation and I got myself confused.

    I have a new Dell with a Perc H710 server and I downloaded the ISO of ESXi 5.5 1 cumulative hotfix driver 2 (includes the VMWare tools). I also downloaded the Perc adapter driver file megaraid_sas - 06.803.52.00 - 1742752.zip, because the H710 did not appear in the PDF which goes hand in hand with the ISO.

    The instructions for the Perc driver said to copy the VIB on the ESX Server. But how does the installation if the Perc drive must be installed?

    So I guess my real question is what is the correct process to follow to install ESXi on my server?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    was the easiest would be to download the DELL custom image ESXi. It should include all the drivers.

    You can download 5.5u1 here: http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=N509V

  • Application of Office Manager & ch & LR install questions

    Hello everyone.

    I searched the threads and can't find anything that relates directly to the questions that I have.

    I'm trying to download PS & LR on my second machine. First LR & PS downloaded perfectly on my desk.

    Now, I am trying to download on Microsoft Surface Pro 3.

    Initially downloaded relatively easy application manager. Then PS loaded at 42%, as others have mentioned. I had nothing else open at a time.

    I tried several methods to try to make it work.

    I have disconnected and reconnected. I tried directly from the Adobe CC Desktop Apps page.

    Today, in another attempt, I uninstalled the application manager. Now I can't even to load. I put install, came back two hours later and always around 75% and did not move after another 20 minutes.

    I noticed that he was trying to download 32 Bit where my system is 64 bit do not know if this is the problem. ?

    Any ideas or help would be most appreciated.

    Concerning

    Andrew

    Thanks to those who responded.

    My problem was that I wasn't getting all error messages, and in the end, I couldn't even download the application manager. for other threads have been unfortunately useless. I tried something a little different. I took the 3 pro surface and he sat next to wireless router where I knew he would get excellent connection. That resolved my problems. Now, I have PS, LR, BR downloaded on my second machine. It ended up being a connection slow speed after all that. If someone else is having the same issues, may also give this a go.
