Need advice on running Windows 7 under the El Capitan on an iMac 27 ".
I was running Parallels on my MBP 15 ". It worked but was a little slow to start and not completely satisfactory. They seem to have problems with each update of the OSX. Now, they need a comprehensive upgrade to El Capitan. Last year, I bought an iMac 27 "5K and want to run Windows on the iMac.
I have a program that I need to install that works under Windows (company TurboTax). I'm about to use BootCamp and run Windows in its own partition. I read the installation instructions and watched some YouTube tutorials on this topic. Looks like it won't be too hard to install. A person highly recommended having a good backup of the hard drive internal that some have found some files corrupted when you do this, requiring a full restore of OS X, applications, and files. I wonder if a good backup Time Machine is sufficient, or do I have to do a new backup?
Also I have not found it yet in the documentation, but it's probably here. I need to be able to access the same files in both Windows and OSX. I guess this isn't a problem. I need something special to make the files accessible to the two operating systems? In my view, they are all accessible to any system of control.
Guess I'm looking to make sure that it is a good thing to do. I have a Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit DVD can I use for the installation. I'm also going to use a USB key as suggested for the installation. I was also informed that it is better to download the software to support first and put it on the USB key before starting the installation.
I've been advised to give 10 Windows a little more time before the upgrade to it. Windows 7 is perfect for limited use, I Windows.Any comments on this?
Thanks for the tips here.
Windows 7 is probably the most stable version of windows in the history of Windows, I would give him the props on 10.6.8 Yes, is very good, he's sucking fanboys.
Windows 10 is a monkey demon that came out of the bowels of * to disrupt his legacy.
that says that Windows 7 is no longer supported by MS is no longer under BootCamp (supported by 10.11) and you will need a previous instance of grandfathered in when OS X has allowed its installation or you will need to use something other than BootCamp to install Win 7

Hello!
I am running windows xp sp3, the volume icon disappears from the taskbar on each reboot or shutdown/startup.kindly, help with any permanent solution known.i should go to the control panel and to recover it again whenever I turn my on.kindly advice, someone machine me a solution permanently this problem.i want to stay always on the taskbar the volume icon.
the honest answer is expected... Thank you!Hello
Try this:
Control Panel - device - sounds Manager - note manufacturer device name and info on the graduating model.
Double click and get the date and version of the driver (if 06 are dates, you use the default windows driver). Now
Click the DRIVER UPDATE (this can not find anything because MS is far behind the certification of drivers). Now LAW
CLICK above and UNINSTALL - REBOOT - it will refresh the driver stack.Now, go to the manufacturer of the system and recover the last pilot audio/Hi-Fi as a fall.
Download it - SAVE - go to where you put it - RIGHT CLICK top - RUN AS ADMIN - REBOOT
Now do the same for the manufacturer of the device (the one that made the device - if you were using the default windows
you might need to look in the Device Manager - his new driver).Often, you will need to run the sound card drivers several times to get the latest version installed and will appear in
Manager - Sound. This is because they make back the drivers one at a time and then finally install the
most recent. Look in the Device Manager to be sure that you have installed the version of the driver is the one showing, if not
run the driver again (reset each time) until the shows a correct.Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

I have a DELL Inspiron 6400 running Windows Vista. The backlight turns off.
I have a DELL Inspiron 6400 running Windows Vista. The backlight turns off when the charger is plugged after about 10 to 15 minutes. If I shine a torch on the screen, I see about the display is always. If I select change user from the menu start or stop / restart the machine, the backlight turns on and will last for another 10 to 15 minutes. I tried in safe mode and the same thing happens. Can someone help me with this problem?
It could be the inverter Board or the backlight itself on the way to the outside. Whatever it is, it is definitely a hardware problem and it will take a good repairman to fix. You can contact Dell and see what they would charge to fix this, just to see if it would be more cost-effective to buy a new laptop or have it repaired. Because it is 5 years since it is manufacturing, you can be better to save your pennies for a new :-(

problems with wireless Vista "local only".
How is it that some machines running windows vista, when the router is updated or changed, they show "limited or local only" when you then reconnect wireless... nothing else was changed on those computers and other devices can connect ok?Hello
Each router is assigned to the specific address (called IP address or IP address). And each router maintains its own database (called as base of router) to follow the networking devices communicate with him. When the router is changed, the particular router is unable to detect the device, especially the network card to communicate with the computer. Since he does not have details of the database of network devices, communicate with him.

Hi, I'm having a problem with my laptop. I bought my laptop online, a year ago, and I got a virus. Then, I had my computer reset and I need a code for Windows Vista from the bottom of my laptop. After looking through records and information, we found that he had no number. He worked initially but then recently he was asked for a product key or something of the sort code. I was using my laptop but I cannot customise my background etc.
Can you help me?
Thank you very much
The code is located on a label and is a 25-digit alpha-numeric (and very hard to read) code separated into 5 groups of 5 numbers separated by dashes. If you can't find it on the bottom of your laptop, open the battery housing and remove the battery and look there - I know of cases where this is where it was placed.
If you can't find the product key, your only choice is to contact the manufacturer and see if they can help. Sometimes the relocations made with recovery disks don't need to be activated (depends on the manufacturer and their recovery process must ask them and confirm before you spend money on the recovery discs). A valid product key is required for activation if activation is required - there is no way around this problem. And in case you are considering on it, you can't switch from one product not enabled - you need to do a clean and complete installation (update disc will not work).
I hope this helps and that the manufacturer can help you.
Good luck!

I tried to install cs3 on windows 10 shadow run on my mac book pro. Technical support told me that it does not run on windows 10 but doesn't give me an opinion on whether she would go if I was running windows 7 to the people's Summit. Any thoughts?
First of all, that the software is old enough so that it does not at all with Windows 10... but
An idea that MAY work to install or run some programs in Windows old 10

Paragraph nets run too short under the text
I noticed that when I select a net of paragraph to run under a text (instead of the entire column) it turns a little too short, if the text has been the subject of a follow-up. If there are no kerning or followed, the rule runs the width of the text very well. But soon as the text is stretched the rule isn't quite stretches all the way under the text. Is there a way to fix this? I have InDesign CS5 for Windows (version 7.0.4).

@ Lilia,.
Forced line break is special characters, too.
But here's the good news. I tested your theory this morning about not apply tracking to the character and it works for all the alignment options, and he doesn't move to the last position of the character, so it is viable, in fact excellent, when it is applied by using the GREP style. So for the items (or any other paragraph of caterpillars who needs a set of rule less than the width of the text, and where the text is followed by a positive value) that you want to create a 0 followed by character style and apply it to the last character in the paragraph for help. $
The letter spacing value should be added to the basic character format of the paragraph style:
The character style should do anything other than assigning a value of 0 tracking:
And that the character style should be applied as one Style GREP like this:
No special characters and automatic comletely and the text can be changed at will, or formatting in the style can be changed and it will continue to work.
Play well.
By the way, welcome to the forum. If you want to learn more about GREP, and you should, as long as a teacher and an obviously talented user, I highly recommend Peter Kahrel O'Reilly Primer: http://shop.oreilly.com/product/9780596156015.do which is a real bargain at $9.99 and available in PDF, Mobi or ePub. GREP is actually not terribly difficult to learn and incredibly powerful (and the dialog box find/replace in the ID has the most metacharacters commonly used lists if you have trouble memorizing). There are a lot of users here who will be happy to help you learn the GREP, which Peter K, if you encounter a stumbling block and post a question.
I'll also update my last night bug report to include your workaround solution. He could point the engineers to an easy way to fix the code, so none of this will not be necessary someday.

An urgent need to help!
I've been running Windows 10 on my iMac via Boot Camp. I just upgraded to El Capitan 10.11 to 10.11.5. I don't know if it was because of this upgrade that made me not be able to return to Windows.

How can I restore my Acer laptop running windows Vista to the factory specifications?
I was given an Acer Aspire laptop. It is running Windows Vista with 512 MB memory RAM. It has been used and I want to try to restore it to the factory specifications. How can I do this? I tried system restore and it fails every time.
Hello
you have a very low amount of RAM to run Vista
System Restore should not perform a recovery plant
Here are the different ways to reinstall Vista
Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it
they do it for a nominal cost of $
https://secure.TX.Acer.com/rcdb/main.aspx?brand=Acer
____________________________________________________________
also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought
you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer
Ask them of the exact key sequence
Acer is usually press Alt + F10 at startup to start the recovery process or through the Acer eRecovery Management under all programs

Why not run Windows Defender analyzes the calendar?
I set schedule to run Windows Defender scan at 18:00 on money under standard user account, but I find that there is no digital activity Records.
Anyone have any suggestions on what evil is?
Thanks in advance for your suggestionsHello Oem,
Thank you for your response.
Only security software can run on your computer at a time. Having more than one security software installed at a time and keeping the two race can cause conflicts between them, which can lead to many problems of Windows.
If you want Windows Defender to run, you must keep one-third of security software disabled. As soon as you turn on the Defender third-party security software Windows by default is disabled automatically.
Hope that answers your question. Do not hesitate to write back for any further assistance with Windows, we will be happy to help you.
