Windows 7 on iMac (Using Bootcamp)

[bourne768]

Ive recently moved from PC to iMac and I made the change as I want to make my videos in HD. I just got final cut express 4 and I'm having problems getting any video footage of my SDHC card.

I use a canon LEGRIA HF R17 and it records to the format of AVCHD I have recently found out that final cut doesn't like this format is there a way round this problem?

Before moving to iMac I edited with pinnacle would running windows on my iMac over come the problem and would it allow me to use pinnacle.

[mudbay77]

so when im in windows how do i switch back to OS X?

[Kwakobo]

@mudbay77 You turn your computer off, and when you turn it back on, you should get an option to change just as you would with going to windows. i'm just guessing lol, but that would be the logical step

[rinkavideos64]

I'm running WDP on my MacBook Pro, so this is real.

[GJP8888]

I'm glad that apple allow windows to run on the iMac :)

[Vo0oOo0oV]

@GJP8888 the most of people is doing this.

Ok, my father bought a 27" mid 2011 imac recently and he put bootcamp with windows 7. When he installs some windows programs it says he does not have a authentic version of windows but he bought at best buy. Im starting to think that it may not be authentic cause the startup looks likevista and the taskbar looks like vista but its running 7. What do you guys think.

[MegaTutorial101]

@XxaddamsxX Maybe because of the option.... You can changed the taskbar into the default of Windows 7..... Or maybe you are using windows7 Starter..... Starter looks like Windows Vista.....

[DjNiko17]

Lol my school computers have this on xD

[22hocman]

I wanna partition only 50gb of my internal drive for windows 7 and then use an external hard drive as an extension hard drive. is this possible?

[gdh6200]

Will you be able to play PC games on a iMac if you install windows?

Will it run as if it were a normal PC? Or slower?

[tjmashpot852]

I'm having trouble with my mic and i think its got something to do with me having windows on my mac.i got someone else to do mine so they may have done something wrong.my mics not registering on my computer anywhere not in audio devices no were please help its getting a really big problem

ps:i got mine dual booted

[Dickbaum]

Personally I use a Mac and a PC. Between the two I'm not sure what all the fuss is about. I really can't tell which is better. a Mac is faster and a little bit more stable but a PC has more features and compatability. So for those who argue which is better I have both :D

[IrishJayLGHD]

this is the best sulation, a mac with windows 7 :D

[jamesaburke7]

I recently installed Windows 7 on my imac. When I turn off the mac, and then back on it always goes into windows unless I hold down option first. Then it gives the choice btwn mac and pc. Did I do something wrong on my install? Shouldn't every start natively go into the imac partition, unless I am holding down the option key?

[1730davis]

@jamesaburke7 DO NOT WORRY - Its easy - When your on the Mac go to systems preferences - Startup Disk - then select the Mac HD then press restart, this will then boot to Mac first all the time (unless you change it) you can also do this in Windows (under bootcamp options) Thanks

[jamesaburke7]

thanx davis, I set it my startup disk in both windows and mac, as mac. the reason was because, the first info i found online was only for windows. it works great, but will i have a problem, because i set them both up, to start as a mac. also, why did it start in bootcamp before? is it because of the nature of bootcamp? Or did windows only agree to be used if it initially started in windows?

[Vo0oOo0oV]

@IrishJayLGHD this is what am doing already :D

[jan3601]

Don't you have to pay for the windows, and what about viruses??? Please reply soon!

[1730davis]

@jan3601 Yes you will need to pay for windows & in terms of viruses, I would say it would be the same as Windows 7 on any PC

[wc4life2010]

@jan360

About the viruses IMac actualy does have viruses like keylogger or malware

[MrOMGWTFxCorp]

LOL, it's really funny. PC users want to dualboot mac, MAC users want to dualboot Windows.

[guynamedoliver]

@MrOMGWTFxCorp you just explained the world, my friend

[MikeKay1978]

@MrOMGWTFxCorp

It tragic, it just means that there is no really Good OS out there.

[SootyHunt]

@MrOMGWTFxCorp Best of both

[canascot02]

@MrOMGWTFxCorp ... and yet only mac users can lol... legally and legitimately that is.

[NIKOizSCREWED]

@MrOMGWTFxCorp why not buy both?

[KILLUSALL92]

if i want to install a pc game will do do it no problem?

[MrLallaboy]

u mean to say that you can use this jut like the normal windows pc without any hiccups? does it get hanged anytime? sorry the reason i'm asking all this is becoz i'm thinking of switching over to an imac for good.

[adidasfootballer]

@MrLallaboy yep, just like a pc, great isnt it! I like windows, but i hate crappy pc build quality, so i switched to windows on mac!

[bobopinkrabbit]

[remmel100]

[SarkTheShark94]

[DeadMarshmallows]

@SarkTheShark94 you suck dick

[aguythatlikesipods]

[HellHound4101]

@roulettemovies insert and install the MacBook or iMac cd and all the functions and stuff will work like a charm

[lannim01]

[l1L890]

running boot camp on my white macbook 2010 how come the battery is so low when running a purchased copy of windows 7 home premium on it usally have to keep it plugged it any seggestions on how to make the battery run better on it Thanks l1L890 using windows 7 to play games on my mac

[SpartanKitteh0659]

so wait.. this runs "EXACTLY" like windows 7 with all of its features?

[1730davis]

@SpartanKitteh0659 Yes

[SpartanKitteh0659]

@1730davis Are you serious!? So it would be like im using it just like I am now?

[arsalankhan1]

does installing windows 7 operating bootcamp works like a virtual windows? or it works fast as an installed operating system?

[1730davis]

@arsalankhan1 Bootcamp will allow your OS to run fast but you can only run one OS at any one time. thanks

[arsalankhan1]

@1730davis Thanks for your response, but I am still confused. If I want to run Adobe CS5 MC, Sony Vegas Pro, Final Cut Pro so can I run them on using Windows on iMac?

[1730davis]

@arsalankhan1 YES, of course! I have many pieces of software and hardware that does not run with Mac OS X but runs fine with windows 7 (through bootcamp) on my Mac, Thanks 1730davis

[arsalankhan1]

@1730davis thanks alot :)

[longlifegennep]

@arsalankhan1 There are programs to use windows en Mac OS at the same time, on the same screen. or if u have 2 monitors, you can use 1 monitor for mac and the other for windows. check the apple webstie

[arsalankhan1]

@longlifegennep pretty good ability. Thanks for telling me :)

[wannie424]

can you do it also on linux?

[rowdyyoudy]

I keep getting up to the bit where it asks to back up the window save software

I've inserted a blank cd, no cigar and I've done it with usb stick AND a external HDD

my mac isnt even a month old and I have windows 7

Any help is appreciated :D

[IHaZaRDx]

so you can choose what OS you want to use on boot up? is it a good idea to have both OS' on your mac? are there any disadvantages? thanks im kinda a noob when it comes to this kinda things

[KumRuzvalt93]

So is this dual boot...i do you have both OS's working?...cuz i would use win7just for games???

[Scissorify]

@KumRuzvalt93 yh both os working

[KumRuzvalt93]

@Scissorify Thank you :)

[fslphillips]

I notice that your wireless mouse and keyboard are still working, mine completely crap out on me right when i switch to windows...and ever since i update my windows last night i havent been able to use my keyboard to type in the password or move me mouse at all.

[daleksvscybermen]

can you use the same user accounts and access the same files on bootcamp as you do on mac?

[ForzaaPAOKARA]

Can u install Cracked windows 7?I dont want to pay so much money for this software....

[DSFanboy360]

@ForzaaPAOKARA That's illegal.

[ForzaaPAOKARA]

@DSFanboy360 I know..But can i do this?

[evoxgsr21]

[felipemalatesta]

i have a problem with windows 7, i cant find the way to adjust the brightness. do you have an idea of it?

[albozpower]

wich imac have you??

[tchunu]

I have problems with the Graphics Drivers.... It doesn't work on mine.

[tchunu]

Is it the iMac11,3?

I have problem with mine.

[lezzable]

thats not yours



[1730davis]

@lezzable - Yes it is, I made with loops and affects in Garageband on Mac, the video you are seeing is just using the same loop, it's not the same

[lezzable]

what song name on the beginning?

[1730davis]

@lezzable - I made the audio myself, thanks

[maxkiller276]

How did you put windows seven on it just wondering??

[1730davis]

@maxkiller276 - You can install windows on any Mac, You need to run Bootcamp which is already on the Mac. You can also buy other software such as VM Ware or Parallels which will let you run windows within Mac, Using Bootcamp requires you to restart and choose OS, Thanks

[maxkiller276]

@1730davis thanks for the info (:

[sluggy32]

@1730davis im wondering if it is possible for you to get a virus while using bootcamp

[DSFanboy360]

@sluggy32 Yes, if you are connected to the Internet. It's not that Mac's don't get viruses; they do if you're running Windows. It's no different then a PC when you're using Bootcamp.

[frezo1337]

Thanks! Nice to see. Din't know how it works but now it's more clear for me :-)
