  • Can anyone shed some light on how to run window based application on mac air?  I must run Meta Trader 4 platform and MS Office.

    Hello,
    Can anyone please shed some light on how I can run MS Office and Meta Trader 4 platform on mac air.  I have been using Play on Mac and Wine for the past couple of weeks, but now suddenly it has stopped working, only crashing and giving me nightmares.  Is it juts best to install the latest Windows or Parallel?
    Regards Joe

    Meta Trader 4 is Windows only - Office is available for the Mac and Windows and are mostly compatible but given that you'll be doing online trading you may prefer the Windows version of Excel since there are financial spreadsheets with macros that only run on the Mac with some significant editing.
    You can install Windows 7 or 8 in BootCamp or any version of Windows usting virtualization. VMWare and Parallels are commercial programs and VirtualBox is open source. VB may be all you need. Whatever solution you choose, you'll need a commercial version of Windows (or get an OEM disc from NewEgg).

  • In Lion, running on an i MAC (late 2006), how can I stop certain programs from automatically starting up when I start my MAC?

    In Lion, running on an I MAC, (late 2006), how can I stop certain programs (iTunes, Word) from automatically starting up when I start the computer?

    Any application that is open when you shut down will re-open when you restart unless you deselect this when shutting down/restarting:
    Also check System Preferences>Users & Groups>Login items tab and make sure there's nothing listed there that you don't want launched.

  • How do I get Windows XP onto my new mac running lion when boot camp only gives me the option for windows 7

    Hi   I have been trying to partition my hard drive on my new Mac so that I can run some windows specific programs and I wanted to use Windows Xp because I beleive it to be suitable for my needs + becuase its now an older OS it's cheaper.
    My version of Mac is running the Lion operating system and when I start up the boot camp assitant I only get the option to install windows 7. If I proceed and put in the XP installer disc I get a message "Installer disc not found- insert disc and wait a few moments".
    The Xp disc is supposed to be a full version- at least thats what the guy who sold it to me claims, anyone any solutions on how to proceed or do I have to buy Windows 7?
    Chris

    With OSX Lion Apple has removed support for Windows XP and Windows Vista from BootCamp.
    That leasves only Windows 7 as a viable option to use.
    You can however use Virtualization apps like the free VirtualBox to install and run XP on your Mac.
    Commercial ones are Parallels and VMWare Fusion.

  • I have a Mac OS X and a Sony HDR-CX7 camcorder.  When I get onto the sony webpage to download program to import movies onto my Mac, they only have downloads for Windows.  How can I get a program for my Mac?

    I have a Mac Os X and a Sony HDR-CX7 camcorder.  When I get onto the Sony webpage to download the program so I can import my movies, they only have programs Windows.  How do I get this for my Mac.

    You shouldn't need any application except what you already have: iMovie, iDVD, iPhoto....
    To check on compatibility with your model camcorder, check these out:

  • How can Java program convert to .exe file which can run on window system?

    Hi,
    I am a new programmer, now I wrote a program on the Eclipse, and now I want to convert to .exe file and make the program can be run on other window office system PC.
    I had downed EXE4J software to make the program to .exe. BUT the exe file can not be run on other PC with the error message that warning the PC have not set up JVE. IS it necessary to set up JVE?
    OR give me your experience on how to do it?
    Thanks!

    If you wish to code for computers, Java is good, but it needs a JRE.
    The easiest way to get a Java application up and running on a client PC is to launch it via. webstart, and to use deployJava.js to ensure the minimum Java is on the client PC, ready to use webstart.
    Used this way, you link to a web page where the user clicks a link that downloads and installs the application (and adds extras like splash screens, desktop integration, registration of interest in file types, automatic update..).
    As an aside. The best way to ensure answers is to indicate your interest in solutions, by adding a lot of Duke stars to a thread.

    You run Windows in Parallels or Fusion. Then in Windows you install the program.

  • On the mac mini 2011 how can I run windows 7 without the optical drive, On the mac mini 2011 how can I run windows 7 without the optical drive

    On the mac mini 2011 how can I run windows 7pm bootcamp without an optical drive.  I watch lots of football on sop cast and other such windows based programmes but can't work out how to do it.

    Actually Windows can be installed and booted from an external drive if the drive is connected eSATA (external SATA), since the drive is treated as if it's an internal HDD. I used the same method previously to dual-boot from 2 different HDD instead of partitioning.
    Most PC motherboards come with them as standard so it's pretty much plug and play but I don't recall seeing a recent Mac with eSATA connectivity though, so that might not be an option for you.

How do i sort this out!? It is very frustrating as the main reason i have bought  a mac is to use logic! Any help would be great as i am a complete novice when it comes to Macs!

    You're probably on OS X Lion?
    I had the same problem as you. I used Software Update to update Logic Express to the latest version, and then it ran without any problems.

  • I just got an IPAD2 on Saturday.  With the Mac, I could always tell when programs were open/running by going to the menu bar.  How can I tell what programs are running in the background.  I am struggling with not being able to go to a menu bar at the top

    You can see which apps are open and/or recently used by double-clicking the home button to bring up the taskbar at the bottom of the screen (not all apps that appear there are active) - you can then close apps on it by pressing and holding one of them for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar. If you have an app 'open' on-screen then it won't appear on the taskbar, you will need to go back to the homescreen first, and it should then show when you next open the taskbar.

  • Windows for Mac hangs frequently,  how can I stop this?

    I have Windows for Mac 98, and lately I have been using that a lot to type some papers, usually for seven hours a day for long stretches. What has happened is that at least once a day, the Windows program suddenly freezes without any warning, and the beachball starts spinning. I can't do anything to stop this from happening. I usually wait a few minutes and then go to Force-Quit and shut it down (the message in Force-Quit is that Word is not responding). I can usually recover some of the work when I go to Microsoft (Auto) Recovered Documents but usually I have lost a lot of the work I have done.
    After this happening regularly, I started to save the work frequently, and hoped that if it crashed again, I could at least save all the work I had done. However, despite doing this, the recovered file had not saved the work until the most recent save, which I thought was strange.
    As my work involves frequent typing in Word documents, this is a big worry.
    I type .doc and .docx documents using Windows but from my recall (but I am not sure about this), both types of documents are involved in this problem.
    How does this problem arise? Does it have to do with the memory? The Windows is using up too much memory perhaps? Would it be the same with Pages? I don't recall this ever happening with Pages but I suppose I haven't typed really long documents in Pages yet.
    My computer is MBA version 3.2. I usually have other programs running at the same time: two browser windows, Pages, iTunes, vlc, Skype, and a program for using wifi with a USB stick. I should close as many programs as I can, I suppose while I am working in Windows, I suppose. Anything else I can do?
    Saving frequently helps but not as much as I thought it would.
    Does it have to do with my using .doc documents in this Windows program which is a .docx program? Should I install the older Windows for Mac program on the computer? Can I run the two versions of Windows for Mac simultaneously on my computer?

    (1) Does it hang or does it crash frequently?
    For the difference, see
    How to tell an application crash from a hang
    <http://marinersoftware.corphelp.com/kb_article.php?ref=5501-WIPV-2930>
    (2) Have you installed any add-ons to Word, such as EndNote CWYW?
    (3) Are you using any 3rd party font managers, such as Suitcase Fusion?
    (4) Are you using any keyboard shortcut or macro managers, such as Keyboard Maestro or TextExpander?
