• Urgent need help: I run windows 10 on iMac. I can't boot into Windows 10 after update to El Capitan 10.11.5. Help, please!

  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. In the windows startup disk, my windows HD and OS X HD icons are all grayed out. So, I can't select which one to be my default startup Mode of the disc. Help, please!

• Why my iMac (27 inch, mid 2011) cannot run Windows 10 in boot camp? And if he can't, he would work in something like parallels?

  Why my iMac (27 inch, mid 2011) cannot run Windows 10 in boot camp? And if he can't, he would work in something like parallels?

  To be honest, Windows 10 is compatible with your Mac, but Apple does not release from Windows 10 drivers for it. There are various guides on the Internet to install the drivers for Boot Camp Windows 10 even if your Mac is not supported, but follow them at your own risk (don't forget that you won't receive help to make).

  However, you are free to run Windows 10 on a virtual machine. To do this, you can use Parallels, VMware or VirtualBox, but remember that a virtual machine will give you less performance than Windows natively on your iMac. Read-> Windows in BootCamp or Virtual Machine?

• 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

• What is the best strategy to migrate data from Windows to one Mac to another? I use Parallels Desktop to run Windows on my current Mac but want to use Bootcamp on my new.

  What is the best strategy to migrate data from Windows to one Mac to another? I use Parallels Desktop to run Windows on my current Mac but want to use Bootcamp on my new.

  If it is only the data (not apps) I use Dropbox. It turned out to be the best way to move things between the side Mac and the bootcamped Windows of my iMac side. I don't see why it would not work to move data from a virtual machine installation of Win to a BootCamp installation.

• Unable to sync my iPad 2 using PC running Windows 10 Pro.

  My iPad 2 will not connect with the store, so I can sync my selected programs. I am running Bootcamp with Windows 10 Pro on my iMac 27 "(mi 2011)." I tried different ports, different hubs, hubs all work correctly. my sync cable (30 pins) is new (I even tried an old cable to sync but no luck.) I basically get one of three error messages: 1. can't sync iPad because it cannot be found. 2 synchronization has expired. or 3. Not enough room on the iPad to sync (even if I deleted all program TV, music and film s = of the iPad). My version of iOS is 5.1.1 and supposed to be up-to-date. What can I do to remedy this before you buy a new iPad? The software version is 12.3.2 running.

• Waves MaxxAudio disappeared when running Windows 7 Home Premium

  Hi DELL - Marjoram N & Kiran;

  I saw your excellent support you gave to many users here in the Forum Support. I got on the phone several times with a lot of good technicians Dell... but no one can seem to figure out how to get my MIDDLE Waves MaxxAudio button to work. I have a great machine-one Inspiron 17R SE 7720 running Windows 7 with 8 GB of ram, hard, 1 TB and a 2 GB nVidia GeForce 650 M video card. Initially, the button in the MIDDLE Waves MaxxAudio worked but stopped!

  The BIOS is always A01 (although the newest BIOS A11 we was told today by Dell NO BIOS UPDATE). I indicate I tried to update the BIOS, but like I said the technician Dell said I wouldn't be able to apply the update to this machine!

  How can I get the MIDDLE WavesMaxx Audio button to work? When I select Dell Audio in the control panel of configuration-it does nothing!

  Please help me!

  Hello

  I was on the phone half-a-dozen-time with Dell and came to no good conclusion. I bought a warranty hardware & software - but Dell will not restart the computer so they can re - install the appropriate driver to make it work. They sent me a few different drivers and they do not work. I recorded everything on a 'Click-Free' hard drive and reformat the drive with the USB that I did when I got the Dell. That still didn't work - and Dell has no comment.

  So, I cut my losses and am eBaying the Dell Inspiron 17R SE 7720. I spent too much time trying to get this piece of work of garbage.

  I always enjoy my Dell Latitude D630 - even if it's a Core 2 Duo 2 GHz machine and it works on Windows XP.

  I can't really say a lot of good things for the Dell technical support... If I knew how to speak Hindi (everyone is in India), I'd be able to get a quality service.

  The best thing I can tell you is GET A MAC! My MacBook Pro and iMac is much more stable and the Apple technical support is the best!

  Kind regards!

• How to get an external drive officially used with a Mac to be recognized and usable with a PC running Windows 7

  I have an Iomega 500 GB external hard drive that I bought about 2 years ago I used exclusively with an iMac, until this computer crashed irreparably affordable last month.  My new computer is a HP Pavilion PC running Windows 7 and when I connect the drive I see in devices and printers that he acknowledged that an Iomega hard drive is connected to a USB port, but in the computer, it shows internal hard drive of the computer and the DVD player with their respective letter designations.  However, the external hard drive is not displayed.

  Fast disk information: I buy the player on the Apple store online in early ' 08, and when I unpacked it initially, I saw no written information not specifying that it was somehow a Mac version of this Iomega drive, there was anything about it either by declaring that use it with a Mac it format to use Mac only.   When I first plugged into the Mac, I was never invited on implementation shape or anything else specific to the Mac, actually, I was never even asked about the pilots.   To plug into it, he behaved as the USB flash drive and external 40 GB drive I have - a small orange icon appears on the desktop, with the name of the drive and the USB symbol.   So for two years, I moved the files between the player and the Mac with no problems, until now, when I try to use the drive with my current PC.

  So far it was suggested to me that makes the Mac * fact * format the drive in a way that makes Mac only, and I can't reformat because I have given, I must first of all get moved to the new computer.  Another theory is that since entering at Apple, even though it is an Iomega product, it might have been shipped with a tweak specific to Mac-maybe it was already formatted for Mac use.  A third theory advanced for me, is that it could be that the cable company somehow makes the PC is not quite completely recognize it.

  Any info would be greatly apprecitated.   Worse, I can find someone with a Mac and we can move files from the Iomega to the Mac hard drive, then the 40 GB drive which * fact * work with both types of BONE, and that several times until everything is moved safely to the new computer, then can do what I do with the Iomega is usable with the PC.

  What I find a bit confusing, it's the 40 GB has never had problems of compatibility with any computer with which I have connected.  In the course of graphic design, I've been in we have Mac and PC in the same building and that player never cared that it was connected to.

  There is a format uses Apple (don't remember what it's called...? Trip...? Journal... something like that) that Windows cannot yet see.  So once you have the files and folders saved on something like the DVD, do not format NTFS for Windows can see it.  The good thing is that Apple may also see NTFS, once it is formatted and files/folders copied on it, you will be able to use all the PC under Windows or OS.

• Running Windows 7 on Bootcamp, cannot activate Windows.

  I bought a new iMac and am running Windows 7 via BootCamp. The installation went well, but the product key will not work. I bought at Wal-Mart, and he had the hard plastic on the case, so it was not tampered with. I can't have the option for the upcoming automated phone call. How do I fix this, or is this really important?

• New on Mac w/purchase of Pro. You want to run Windows applications. 8 vs 10?

  New on Mac w/purchase of Pro. You want to run Windows applications. 8 against 10 using virtualization?

  The two big names of virtualization are Parallels and VMware. They have a sort of leap-frogging each other in terms of features. Parallels has a fairly seamless integration between Mac and Windows.

  Your Mac is also already comes with Boot Camp, which lets you install Windows on a separate partition.

• My computer with Windows 7 Home updated for Firefox v34.0.5 but my two computers that are running Windows 7 Pro have not yet updated beyond Firefox v34.0. Something wrong?

  See info above. I re - run the update process at least 10 times on the two machines running Windows 7 Pro (most recently this morning), and whenever the two machines running Windows 7 Pro (one is 64-bit, one is 32-bit) say that Firefox v34.0 is "up-to-date". I checked Mozilla.org, which States that Firefox v34.0.5 was released in mid-December, but he said nothing about whether this update was only for some OSs. I also ran several scans antivirus from different vendors on two machines running Windows 7 Pro and all scans show no problems.

  Please advise is there are different versions of Firefox for Windows 7 family or Professional Edition, or if I'm having a problem. If I'm having a problem, please tell us how I can correct.

  We changed how updates were deployed to a test, that's why you were probably the 34.0.5 on a computer and 34.0.0 on the other. The only difference between them is that 34.0.5 defines yahoo as the default search. You don't need to worry because of the different versions (who both were released at the same time BTW)

• Run Windows on USB

  I have therefore a 128 GB USB 3.0. I have a copy of Windows 10 and I was wondering if I could create a USB bootable on it. Would I be able to run Windows 10 on this USB key? I know that you can run Windows 10 out of a disc external hard so is it the same process for a USB?

  Thank you

  If your Windows license allows running Windows on a USB key, you can then. Bootcamp will not support these media for the installation of Windows. You must use third-party tools or a Windows PC to install Windows on this media.

• Running Windows 8 and T-bird, return email address is wrong on e-mails.

  When I send emails to others, they cannot hit 'REPLY' because my return address is wrong. The return address has quotation marks around the part before @frontiernet.net these same people can send me emails when the address is correct. I do not understand the instructions on the websites. I am running windows 8.1

  I think that the quotes can be added if there is a typing error in your username, as a space.

  I think the first place to check your settings for outgoing mail in Thunderbird account settings screen. You can open it only by using either:

  • 3-bar menu > Options > account settings
  • Press the Alt key > Tools menu > accounts settings

  One of the various pages in your settings will display your name, e-mail address, and reply address (optional). Make sure that there are no errors in any of these.
