How to use a windows app on my Mac.

I am using an iMac with the latest version of Yosemite (10.10.2). It is a work computer and there is one company that we work with that is stubborn and won't come out with a mac version of it's software. I don't want to pay for anything to use this one measly program. Does anyone know of any free software to make this work besides Wine/Winebottler? I tried these quickly but apparently I am too stupid to make these work. You have to actually know something about computers.

Yes, you would, but it's cheaper than Windows, and you'll know if it works before spending any money.

    How do I load windows 7 on a Mac Air using the super drive?

    You use Boot Camp to partition the SSD in the Air, download the Win 7 Support files from Apple (part of the boot camp process), save them to a USB thumb drive, have the USB superdrive connect to the Air with the Win 7 install DVD in the drive. Once partitioned the system will reboot and start the Win 7 install.

    You can't delete the App Store app on the iPod. You can only hide it via Restrictions (Settings>General>Restrictions).
    If not hidden by restrictions, have you used the SpotLight search to try to find it?

  • How do I download an app from the Mac App Store but not install it yet?

    How do I download an app from the Mac App Store but not install it yet?
    Can I simply download it and not install?
    What if the App gets updated before I download it?
    Why? Well, I am very busy and wish to install at my leisure even though I have purchased the App (required at a specific day in the month in order to appear on my business accounts).
    Thanks.

    There is a difference in what Kappy stated and what you stated. A major paid upgrade (v2.x to v3.0), yes, costs money, as it would in any other delivery stream. Updates (v3.0 to v3.1) to a a major version are free.
    Most apps sold through the Mac App Store (MAS) are the type that use the simple drag & drop installation. Those are downloaded directly to the designated apps folder and installation is done. Large pro-type apps download an installer to your Apps folder. Those you can install at your leisure. The MAS does not have a lot of apps using this type of installation.
    Be sure to always backup your MAS purchases, because there is no guarantee that the app will always be available for download in the future and it is your responsibility to archive copies.

    Hello jthompsonn25,
    I'm sorry to hear about your iPhone and the issues you are having with Messages on your Mac. If you are trying to send iMessage messages in Messages, your iMessage account should be tied to your Apple ID (same account name and password). If you are having password issues in Messages, you may want to verify that you have the correct password by logging in to your Apple ID directly:
    Apple - My Apple ID
    If you are unable to or are still getting an error message with your password, you may need to reset the password on your Apple ID. If that is the case, you may find the following article helpful:
    If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
    Sincerely,
    - Brenden

  • Can i use an IOS app on my Mac book?

    Can i use an IOS app on my Mac book?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Your MacBook uses OS X, which is a different operating system than iOS and that use different applications. Because of this, you can't use iOS apps on your MacBook Air, and there's no unofficial way to make them run in OS X

    Can I use an iPad app on my MAC?  Picasa, etc.  I need to find a place to store all, all of my iPhotos.

    Hi there,
    You can't use iPad/iPhone apps on your Mac as they are designed to run on iOS devices only however, in many cases, there are Mac versions available. Picasa is available for the Mac. Alternatively, you could manage your photos with iPhoto or Aperture.

  • How to run a Windows app from a PowerBook G4 using Tiger OS 10.4.11

    HELP !!!! i have a training session tomorrow, and I need to run a Windows Application from my mac.
    is it possible?
    I need to do it only once (initially, then I can purchase something).
    I use a PowerBook G4
    I'm running Tiger OS 10.4.11 (not Leopard)
    I don't need to run OS and Windows at the same time, just the Windows application
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    I signed up for and downloaded Parallels for Mac and got the message "this app can't be installed on your machine, please check the requirements for your machine." But I couldn't find requirements anwhere.
    ANY IDEAS ???" I really appreciate it!

    If you have an Intel Mac and Leopard you can use various programs (like Parallels) that will let you do what you want.
    With Tiger and a G4 PPC I think the only option is to get hold of a copy of Virtual PC and a copy of Windows that will work with it. Virtual PC is no longer produced so you'll have to look on the used stuff websites. I have never used VPC myself but I hear it is really slow, and of course since it is out of production it will probably only run some older version of Windows (not sure, maybe 98 or before?)

  • How do I configure to use X windows apps like "ssh -X" or Tk?

    I am trying to configure my machine as an X windows server so that I can use X programs remotely via "ssh -X" or run local Python scripts that use Tk. I'm currently unable to do this an am not sure what I'm doing wrong.
    I have set my DISPLAY=".0". If I run xterm in a shell I get the following error:
    $ xterm
    xterm Xt error: Can't open display: .0
    Similarly, if I run a simple Python script that tries to create a Tk app I get the following error:
    $ ./tk.py
    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "./tk.py", line 6, in ?
    root = Tk()
    File "/sw/lib/python2.4/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 1569, in _init_
    self.tk = _tkinter.create(screenName, baseName, className, interactive, wantobjects, useTk, sync, use)
    _tkinter.TclError: this isn't a Tk applicationcouldn't connect to display ".0"
    If I try to run X-windows apps remotely via "ssh -X" it doesn't work (e.g. emacs still shows up in the terminal window).
    What do I have to do to set this up?
    Does anyone have a pointer to a detailed tutorial about setting the DISPLAY variable on UNIX. For example, one saying what the format of the value is. (You'd think this would be all over the internet, but I'm having a hard time Googling one up.)
    Thanks.
    MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    "ssh -X" into a remote machine still
    doesn't work though.
    Because you need to use -Y (as someone already mentioned)
    Please don't be upset at a blunt comment, but you can't get XDarwin without installing it.
    However, you mention having fink. I would guess that you used fink to install something else that needed X Windows, and fink installed XDarwin for you. It would have asked you if you wanted to install dependencies and you would have said yes. If this is what happened, it happened because you hadn't first installed the X11 user package from your installation CD.
    If it were my machine I would do the following: (1) remove any fink packages that require X windows, including XDarwin. (2) install X windows from the Apple CD. Install the X windows development package also. (3) reinstall the fink packages. fink should notice you have Apple's X Windows, and use it.
    Then, when you start up Apple's X11 (which is in the Utilities folder, as someone else mentioned), you are starting up an X server, which is what you wanted in the first place. It will bring up a xterm window or two, as did XDarwin. In one of those use ssh -Y. Not -X. Use -Y. A while back, Apple upgraded to a more recent version of ssh, and everyone who had been using -X had to change to -Y.
    You should not have to set DISPLAY. Not on the local machine, not on the remote machine. The ssh -Y command takes care of it for you on the remote machine. On the local machine it's already set for you when you start up X11. (Maybe if you run Terminal, and try to start X windows client apps from there you need to, but I never do it that way, so I can't say for sure. Some people prefer it that way.)
    What's in Apple's X11 is essentially the same as what's in XDarwin. There may be some subtle differences, but I don't know what they are. The main thing is that it's confusing to have both installed.
