Recently acquired iMac - you want to install costs of El Capitan
Hello
I'm new to the world, it Mac - I recently acquired my son iMac (27 inch, late 2009), which has been well looked after and has already been updated to El Capitan. I'm not a perfect beginner computer because I was using, construction and repair of PC from MS Windows 3 to go... and I wonder why it took me so long to get to Mac?
There are things I would do with this new iMac (for me) before you start to use it seriously initially there many applications and programs and games that my son installed and used that I will probably never, I would do a fresh install of OS - X El Capitan so that I can update the whole as a new system. I would also like to upgrade memory, the vehicle currently has 4 GB of memory (2 x 2 GB DIMMS) and I would like to upgrade it's full potential 16 GB (4 x 4 GB) I saw compatible available from Crucial.com SODIMM is a job that I could realize as I have work on PC etc and am not afraid to give it a go myself if its possible.
All tips will be useful (please excuse the terminology if it is not correct in referring to all things Mac) Please be nice :-)
Thanks in advance

First of all make sure that the iMac has been prepared for sale or give according to this document from Apple: what to do before you sell or give away your Mac - Apple Support. You may need to your son ID and password to disable iTunes, iCloud, etc. in order to get him to help you through these steps.

I don't know how or why it happened, but one day to another, WMP won't open. I tried to open an MP3 file, and he says that WMP has not been correctly configured "Windows Media Player is not installed correctly and must be reinstalled. Do you want to install the player from the Microsoft Website? ».
I assumed that since I had to make some updates yesterday, that he was at fault, it had installed an update/new version of WMP and it was either buggy or doesn't work do not, so I went to the Windows updates, but no recent updates on the list had a remote connection with Windows Media Player.
So, I accept the first proposal of the error message, and I'm headed to the Windows Media Player download page on the Microsoft Website. However, the version I should install (which was the one I already had) has Windows Media Player 12 for Windows 7. But this option is locked for me, and as I tried to install it, it says it is not compatible with my system. Not to mention, it's a whole package and not just the WMP installation.
I tried everything and nothing seems to work. It won't even let me uninstall WMP because it won't let me open.
My OS is Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. And the error messages that I get to try to launch any WMP feature (the tool, the installation program, no matter what), opens an error window stating that "there is a more recent version of Windows Media (12.0.7601.18150) player already installed on your computer. It is not possible to use and more old (12.0.7601.17514) installation package to install files or repair your current version of the reader. »
Please, I ask for any intervention in this case.
This arises from time to time, but I don't think that there is a difficulty of 100%.
You can try (in no particular order)
- uninstall, reboot, reinstall WMP- http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/26107/how-to-reinstall-windows-media-player-in-windows-7-to-solve-problems/ if that doesn't help, try a SFC/scannow check - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833
- There is this diagnostic tool - http://support2.microsoft.com/mats/windows_media_player_diagnostic/ that can help (from http://support2.microsoft.com/fixit/en-us?wa=wsignin1.0 )
- You could try a system restore to a date before the problem occurred to see if that helps - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/system-restore-faq#1TC=windows-7 and see if it gets a WMP work back
- Last resort, a repair install - http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/3413-repair-install.html
- Or just simply forget about WMP and try another party 3rd multimedia player that you can install and uninstall at will, as free VLC - http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
But it may be worth waiting a while to see if someone else has a better solution.

I have Vista Home Premium sp2 and you want to install Windows Defender, but however Gets the 08x800106ba error message.
Where should I go from hereHello
You cannot install Defender in Vista; It is already part of the Vista operating system.
Read about Defender:
If you use Norton, AVG, Avira, Microsoft Security Essentials, McAfee, etc. the default action is for Windows Defender must be disabled, that these AntiVirus programs have their own Antispyware Applications.
There is nothing to worry.
Using both programs at the same time can cause system conflicts, etc.
If you are using one of the above AntiVirus programs, this Information from David O - Support Engineer shows you how to manually enable Windows Defender (disregard information from uninstalling; not possible in Vista):
"Go to start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services. Look for Windows Defender.
Right click and select Properties , ensure that Startup Type is automatic.
Once modified, click apply and OK.
Quit and restart your computer. Check the back take the same path to confirm that Windows Defender has started"
.
If you want to have additional protection against malware using the version FREE of Malwarebytes AntiMalware:
http://www.Malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free
And for now, change startup Vista programs without using Defender, use one of these methods:
"How to use MSCONFIG in Windows Vista"
http://netsquirrel.com/Msconfig/msconfig_vista.html
Or the program Autoruns for FREE:
"V11.21 Autoruns for Windows"

See you soon.

Running Windows 7 home Premiun 64 x. Click to open the program the message pop up "Windows Media Player is not installed correctly and must be reinstalled. You want to install the Player from the Microsoft Web site? "that it takes to the site and there is no available media player Windows 7, installed WMP 11 does not work either. Tried to turn on and back on... did not work
Do you remember the last time that your Media Player worked properly? You can use the system restore (type it in the start menu to find) to go back on this point. This restoration takes about 2 minutes and will not affect your files - no matter how far you go. It simply restores your system files and settings.

Original title: installation of Windows 8.
If you bought a laptop and you want to install Windows 8 Professional, can install you it directly or you must have a base like Windows 7 Stater license?
Hello
The only FULL of Windows 8 Pro version would be the OEM System Builder... everything else is an upgrade...
Unlike Win 7 and earlier versions, Microsoft is not offering one COMPLETE Win 8 other than OEM package...
The difference is that the OEM version has no support from Microsoft... If you have a problem, you are on your own... Just enjoy the Forums and for any issues that arise...
Providing that there are drivers available for your laptop to win 8, it should work...
