HT4818 Can you use both Bootcamp and Parallels with the same Windows 7 installed

I have Parallels installed with Windows 7.  Can I use both Bootcamp and Parallels on the same machine depending on whether I just want to work in Windows all day (Bootcamp) or alternate during the same session (Parallels)?

You can, yes. But there is a complication: once you activate windows it will only be activated for one of the two methods you use. So, let's say you install into boot camp and activate windows. You can then install Parallels and it will find your boot camp installation, but when running in Parallels, Windows will report that it is not activated. Or, you can activate it in Parallels and when running in Boot Camp Windows will report that it is not activated. The reason for this is because Windows thinks it is running on different computers depending on how you boot it. This may not be an issue for you if you run Windows a lot one way and just occasionally the other way, so be sure to activate Windows in whichever method you use more often. Hope this helps!

  • Can Bootcamp and Parallels share the same Windows applications and data?

    I'm looking at getting an Intel iMac which will let me throw away my old PC - Yeah!
    I will have a couple of Win apps that I will need to hang on to (Quicken - Quicken for Mac is horrible, but that's another tghread). Anyway, can Bootcamp and Parallels share the same Windows applications and data?
    My thought would be to allow my wife to access Quicken from Parallels and not have to reboot. She will only need lightweight access and the overhead of running virtualization wouldn't impact her. I, on the other hand, would want to occasionally boot natively into Windows and run the same application with the same datafile. Is this possible?
    Thanks and looking forward to joining the MacIntel world!

    Thanks for all of the freplies. I suspected that BootCamp and Parallels could not shar ethe same partition, but wanted to verify. To address some of the other posts:
    Re: Quicken vs MoneyDance - I looked at MoneyDance a while back and while it is comparable to Quicken for Mac, it isn't comparable to Quicken for Windows (ergo, Quicken for Mac isn't comparable to Quicken for Windows!). But, as I said, that is a topic for another thread!
    Re: Using Bootcamp/Parallels for only one app: I actually have several apps that I still need access to on Windows. I work with many business applications than only run/are supported on Windows as well as receive some complex Office documents which Office for Mac cannot handle. Quicken (for Windows 2007) was just the best example of a consumer app where I could see wanting access from both OS X and Windows.

  • Can we use both INSERT and UPDATE at the same time in JDBC Receiver

    Hi All,
    I would like to know is it possible to use both INSERT and UPDATE at the same time in one interface because I have a requirement in which I have to perform both the task.
    user send the file which contains both new and old record and I need to save those in MS SQL database.
    If the record exist then use UPDATE otherwise use INSERT.
    I looked on sdn but didn't find any blog which perform both the things at the same time.
    Interface Requirement
    FILE -
    > PI -
    > JDBC(INSERT & UPDATE)
    I am thinking to use JDBC Lookup but not sure if it good to use for bulk record.
    Can somebody please suggest me something or send me the link of any blog or anything to solve this problem.
    Thanks,

    Hi ,
              If I have understood properly the scenario properly,you are not performing insert and update together. As you posted
    "If the record exist then use UPDATE otherwise use INSERT."
    Thus you are performing either an insert or an update which depends on outcome of a search if the records already exist in database or not. Obviously to search the tables you need " select * from ...  where ...." query. If your query returns some results you proceed with update since this means there are some old records already in database. If your query returns no rows  you proceed with "insert into tablename....." since there are no old records present in database.
      Now perhaps the best method to do the searching, taking a decision to insert or update, and finally insert or update operation is to be done by a stored procedure in MS SQL database.  A stored procedure is a subroutine available to applications accessing a relational database system. Here the application is PI server.   If you need further help on how to write and call stored procedure in MS SQL you can look into these links
    http://www.daniweb.com/web-development/databases/ms-sql/threads/146829
    http://www.sqlteam.com/article/stored-procedures-parameters-inserts-and-updates
    [ This part you can ignore, Since its not sure that you will face this situation
        Still you might face some problems while your scenario runs. Lets consider this scenario, after the stored procedure searches the database it found no rows. Thus you proceed with an insert operation. If your database table is being accessed by multiple applications (or users) other than yours then it is very well possible that after the search operation completed with a null result, an insert/update operation has been performed by some other application with the same primary key. Now when you are trying to insert another row with same primary key you get an error message like "duplicate entry not possible for same primary key value". Thus you need to be careful in this respect. MS SQL has a feature called "exclusive locks ". Look into these links for more details on the subject

        There must be other methods to avoid this problem. But the point is you need to be sure that all access to database for insert/update operations are isolated.

  • Can I use both iPhoto and Aperture on the same library?

    I like some of the features of iPhoto (like faces and places) but prefer to work in Aperture for its rich tool content. Is there any way I can use both iPhoto and Aperture on the same library? Or, import images from Aperture into iPhoto?
    Thanks much!
    John

    I think you may have answered a question I have with the above, but to be sure here is what I would like to do. I currently have iPhoto09 with about 50,000 pictures in it, which seems too much for it to manage. I would like to use Aperture, which I understand is better for managing a large number of photos, but still have iPhoto available to make slide shows, etc. for our AppleTV. Would the process you described above work for that?
    Thank you

  • On my wireless printer can i use both usb and wireless at the same time

    i tried to print from coupons,com but it will not  i have used coupons.com before with my other printer and weorked fine i have coupons.com looking into it
    just wondering if anyone else out there have the same problem

    Hi,
    Same physical printer but when connecting to SAME computer using both USB and wireless it becomes two (logical) printers. Probably your default prnter is the wireless one, you have to select the right printer before print .

  • How can I use both Lion and Leopard on the same computer?

    I have installed Lion and can't recover documents created by Canvas 9, a  PPC app.  Can I create a partition to run Leopard, so that I can use PPC apps?

    My mid-2010 iMac 27" i3 came with Snow Leopard. My internal hard drive is partitoned into 3 parts - one boot volume for Snow Leopard (10.6.7); one boot volume for Lion; another boot volume for Lion. The two Lion partitions were added to the internal drive without erasing the initial install of Snow Leopard.
    I also have an external firewire drive which is partitioned into three volumes: one with a clone of the primary's Snow Leopard 10.6.7; one with Snow Leopard 10.6.8 (built on another clone of the primary); and one used for GP file storage.
    That gives me three bootable volumes for Snow Leopard (two of 10.6.7, and one of 10.6.8) and two bootable volumes for Lion. All of those are, in fact bootable - they have all been tested for that by booting to them.
    Booting to a different valid OS on a different volume is as easy as going to System Preferences > Startup Disk and then selecting the OS/volume one would like to use on the next restart. Then just restart.
    The choice can also be made at booting - as soon as the startup chimes sound, hold down the Option key to bring up Startup Manager. In that screen select the boot volume of choice.

  • I am trying to use both DaqMx and DaqMxBase on the same (Windows) PC

    Context: I am seeking to build and test the EPICS driver for "National Instruments - Various DAQ cards" - see http://www.aps.anl.gov/epics/modules/manufacturer.php for Windows.
    This depends on NiDaqMxBase because it is built for Linux.
    Consequently, I have installed DaqMxBase 3.7 on my (Window 7 /x64) PC, which already held DaqMx 9.7.5.
    I cannot get DaqMxBase to recognise my pci-6601 counter/timer card.
    It it recognised by DaqMx.
    Should this card be recognised by DaqMxBase on Windows?
    Is it OK to have both driver versions installed on the same PC?

    Hey Peter,
    The USB-6008/9 has it's own article on this that I will link rather than typing it, it shows which operating systems support which drivers. Base and mx are both supported in some instances.
    http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/2B1BB86D649297FB86256F96007AC55E
    Interestingly, in this case, Linux seems to only be supported by the Base driver.
    Thanks,

  • I'm new to Mac and the program/all called Numbers. I'm trying to use both Average and small in the same formula. What's I'm trying to do is take 20 cells, find the 10 lowest numbers, then get the average and after that multiply it by .96

    I'm new to Mac and the program/all called Numbers. I'm trying to use both Average and small in the same formula. What's I'm trying to do is take 20 cells in a column,  find the 10 lowest numbers, then get the average and after that multiply it by .96  I used to use Excel and the formula worked fine in that. Here is my Formula
    =(average(small(H201:H220,{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10})))*.96
    This formula worked in Excel and when I converted my spreadsheet over to Numbers, this formula no longer works.
    The best that I have been able to do so far is use small in 10 different cells, then get the average of the 10 cells and finally multiply that average by .96  So instead of using 1 cell, I'm using 12 cells to get my answer.
    This is a formula that I will be using all the time. The next cell would be =(average(small(H202:H221,{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10})))*.96
    Hoping I explain myself well enough and that someone can help me.
    Thanks

    You can still do it in one cell but it will be more unruly than the Excel array formula.
    =average(small(H201:H220,1),small(H201:H220,2),small(H201:H220,3),...,small(H201:H220,10))*0.96
    where you would, of course, replace the "..." with the remaining six SMALL functions.

  • Can we use Badi BBP_SOURCING_BADI and BBP_DETERMINE_LOGSYS at the same time

    Hi everyone,
    We need you help. We are working in SRM 7 and ECC 6 EhP 4. We have a doubt. Can we use badis BBP_SOURCING_BADI and BBP_DETERMINE_LOGSYS at the same time in a classic scenario?
    We want to create the contract in ECC, and then we want to return the SC in SoCo in order to create the PO with the SC and the contract.
    We activate both, but the SC is not returned in SoCo.
    Thanks,
    Ivá

    Hi Ivan
    You can use both badi to change srm standard behavior.
    but one shopping cart item and it can have only one follow on document either Contract or Purchase order.
    i presumed that you want to use same sc for two purposes to create both SC and PO but it is not possible.
    for example
    shopping cart item has follow on document created  as a contract But you need to create a another shopping cart to create a Purchase order  w.r.t that contract .
    Once follow on documents are created sourcing flag will be removed .- rule
    BBP_SOURCING_BADI - you can write your custom logic and make way to cockpit .
    BBP_DETERMINE_LOGSYS - Determine your logical system.

    Before I answer your questions, let me first just say thank you so much for your amazing patience and helpfulness.  Whether or not we get to the bottom of this, I am very, very grateful to you. 
    We will get to the bottom of it, and you're quite welcome.  Don't feel you ought to know all this stuff -- none of us were born with it!
    By the way, in answer to your original question, yes, you can use the Time Capsule while backups are running. There's no conflict at all.
    1)  Estimated size of full backup:  205.94 GB
    2)  My LaCie has available:  11.04 GB of 359.95 GB
    That's part of the problem right there; 360 GB is a bit small to back up 206 GB.  Ordinarily, a Time Machine drive should be 2-3 times the size of the data it's backing-up, so Time Machine can keep a reasonable "depth" of old backups for you.
    It looks like Time Machine is trying to do a fairly large backup, and there just isn't enough room for it.
    But something doesn't quite add up.  Time Machine should have deleted all but your most recent backup, trying to make room for the new one.  But that would mean there should only be a bit less than 206 GB on the disk, not 360.
    A clue may be lurking in your logs.  Use the widget in #1 of Time Machine - Troubleshooting to display the backup messages from your logs.  Locate the backup in question, then copy and post all the messages here.

    Before going ahead on this you should definitely check with Apogee as I think they do not recommend using their interface(s) in an Aggregate device.

  • How can i use Mail on 2 macs with the same mail address?

    Hi,
    I have two Macs, connected through WLAN. From each Mac I can use Mail (sending and receiving) with the same mail address. This worked well; on each Mac I have separate files storing the mails (input, sent, trash, …).
    Some days ago I had to change the provider. (Perhaps this may be the reason for my problem?) Now both mail systems are connected - in the way that if I put on Mac *1 a mail into the trash it is automatically thrown into the trash on Mac *2.
    What is to be done to separate the two systems (i. e. make them independent of each other)?

    It looks like you are using a IMAP mail account, a protocol used by most email providers nowadays. Read -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Message_Access_Protocol
    The main feature of IMAP is the sync of all the changes you do on your mail account. If you want to keep your mails on one Mac, have a look at this site -> http://kb.mit.edu/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=3908294
