Windows Commands on a MAC

Hi Can anyone help. I'm switching from a PC to a MAC Book Pro and I need to be able to do screen grabs to paste into a word document (on Parallels). If I was doing this on a PC it'd be the 'Alt & Print Screen' Command. How do I do this on a MAC??

You're welcome Yorky63!

Windows commands on mac

I have a mac, but I am givin windows commands. So what are windows commands on macs. e.g ctrl+f on mac

Ctrl equates the Command/ Apple key, Alt is Alt/ Option. Not much more to know beyond that. PS is pretty consistent across platforms in that regard.

Unable to install windows 8 on the mac

how do I install windows 8 on the Mac I tried but cannot get past windows set up . Where do you want to install windows? I have highlighted Drive 0 Partion 4 and it comes up with this We couldn't creat a new Partion or locate an existing one.

There are two different methods of installation, EFI and MBR, you are running a method which is combination of both. Either your MBR is incorrect or BCA failed to create one. EFI method requires a partition which is Free Space and the disk is GPT-only while MBR method expects to the disk to be partitioned already. If you see 'disk0 partition 4', it is the MBR method, and BCA could have failed.
Please post the output of the following Terminal command. You will be prompted for your password, and it will not be echoed back to you. "sudo" will also warn you about improper and potential data loss due to such 'abuse'.
sudo fdisk /dev/disk0
sudo gpt -vv -r show /dev/disk0

How add windows 7 to my mac

How add windows 7 to my mac

Believe it or not but w/o knowing what Mac you have and which OS makes a differnce, somewhat.
nMP supports 8.1 though getting Windows 7 was made easier more recently.
Some models barely support Windows at all (possible but a fudge when it comes to a 2006 1,1 EFI32).
Once I discovered that t he Windows key or command key was a one step hop out of Metro to Desktop been very happily using 8.0/8.1 and it does - other than games?? - run best of any Windows OS.
Using one copy of Windows natively and then using it in Fusion or Parallels (but have to do Boot Camp inst all first) is not illegal or anything else. And there is free VirtualBox too.
I know with Fusion and Mavericks you can run Mavericks in a VM as well, handy for testing. And appears to run very well on t he nMP 6-core.
I would use an SSD for Windows, separate from your Mac SSD, or $299 buys you a 500GB SSD

Conflict with Windows Media Player for Mac

I´ve installed parallel desktop on my mac (MacBook Pro), then Windows so I can run a PC only program. The conflict is this: When I want to play a video on WMP (for mac), for example: when I receive an email with a video clip to be played and I double click it, Parallel Desktop starts up automaticaly to play it on windows. I´ve right clicked and tried to specify that WMP on my mac should be the one to open videos by default; but it´s not working, or I´m doing something wrong.
Any wisdom? Thanks in advance.

select a .wmv file and enter command+i. in the resulting popup go to "open with" section, select the default application you want (not a Windows Media player for Mac which is extinct) to use and click "change all". see if it sticks now.

How do I transfer my ipod from my old windows to my new mac?

I got a new mac. I tried to sync my ipod classic to the new mac. It got stuck in the "Do not disconnect" mode. It stayed like that all day and all night. I finally tried to sync it back to my old windows and got a message on my windows computer that it did not recognize it. When I hook it to my mac, it doesn't do anything and the sync command in my mac itunes doesn't highlight.
My ipod won't even turn off.

Try restoring your iPod on the Mac. Restoring in iTunes for Mac will erase and reformat the iPod's hard drive, reload the software with the Mac version and put it back to default settings. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions to name the iPod and automatically sync your songs and videos onto the fresh installation. Press Done and the iPod will appear in iTunes and start to sync. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists uncheck the box beside the sync automatically instruction and press Done, it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes

My phone is not showing up in itunes. I want to sync it. I have a MAC and I have restarted the phone, it's charged, I have the most current version of itunes. What do I do now? It says to reinstall itunes if you have windows but not for mac. Help!

With your phone plugged in, open Image Capture and see if the iPhone shows up. If not, you are having a sync problem. If it shows up in Image Capture, but not iTunes, I'd delete iTunes and reinstall it.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You need a USB drive to install the Windows support software. It contains all the drivers that your MacBook Pro needs, and you will have to install them after finishing the Windows installation. If you don't install them, a lot of things won't work: the wireless card, the sound card, the brightness, the trackpad gestures... Apart from that, you don't need it for anything else.

Can I use windows software on my mac?

May seem like a silly question, but when I purchased my macbook, I was told that I could reserve a portion of the harddrive to run windows software. I need to run Quickbooks Pro that I have in windows form. How do I load it onto my macbook???

Ok, several ways.
Apparently, there's a wine-like solution for Mac, so you can run windows software from within Mac OS X. Expect it to be somewhat buggy and imperfect though, and it might not run some software. It's coming out soon as far as I know. I saw in on MacRumors a while ago.
Then there's the Apple solution called Boot Camp. What it does is just allow you to dual boot. It means you will actually be running windows on the machine.
And then a new user favorite, is using machine emulation, it emulates a second machine inside the current machine allowing you to run Windows inside Mac OS X. It's very memory-hungry, though, and somewhat slower usually. Look into Parallels and QEMU.

Transferring Playlists From A Windows Computer to a Mac (with an IPod???)

I recently switched from a Windows computer to a Mac and the folk at the Apple Store copied my documents and music files to the new Mac. All of my music that I had on ITunes on the Windows computer was transferred, including all the purchased music. The only thing that wasn't transferred were my extensive playlists, which I've spent years creating. I figured I could do it with my IPod and I was about to synch my IPod with the new Mac, when I saw the message advising me that everything on the IPod would be erased including, presumably, the existing playlists. Now, I realize I could simply print out what's on the playlists from my old Windows computer and manually recreate the playlists, but that would be a laborious pain in the butt. There's gotta be a simpler way but so far so one seems to be able to tell me what it is. A few people have told me there's no way to do it, but I have to believe there's a way because it would be foolish and dumb for there not to be. Any ideas? Thanks.

There are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve music files and clone playlists from an iPod. You could start your research with the three below, I believe they can all copy playlists and other data. If you search the web I'm sure you'll find others:
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)

Parallels: transferring info from a Windows program to a Mac program

I've been devoted to a Mac for a few years now, but I recently had to switch back to Windows because of its far superior voice recognition software. (I was recently disabled, and now rely on voice recognition to type.)
If I were to buy a new Mac and use my Dragon NaturallySpeaking professional software (the Windows voice recognition program) via Parallels, does anyone know if I would be able to use that to type in a Macintosh program? I understand that I could stay within the virtual Windows platform or do separate tasks on the Mac platform, but I'm not sure if I would be able to transfer the information gathered by the Windows program into a Mac program.
If I'm able to do this, it would mean I could finally switch back to a Mac. Thanks in advance!

It will never run in OS X. You need to install Windows on your machine.

How do I share files from Windows Vista to a Mac with Lion OSX?

How do I share files from Windows Vista to a Mac with Lion OSX? I'm having SO much trouble with this! Any help would be appreciated!!!

In a finder window, under 'shared' you should be able to see the windows computer name, click on it and connect to it. I am assuming here you have sharing turned on and permissions granted on the windows computer.
Will add a note though, I have frequently accessed files from a PC on the LAN using XP, not vista.
