AIM and other "windows based" programs

Hey,
I am getting a new macbook for christmas and I am very excited about this. My question for you guys is, how many windows based programs can you run on macbook? Such as AIM and a few games based on windows ? Thanks in advance

Hey,
how many windows based programs can you run on
macbook?
The answer is either none or all. The Mac OS does not run any Windows programs. However, you can install Windows on your MacBook and then you can run all Windows programs. The downside to doing this is that your MacBook then becomes a virus ridden Windows machine!

HT5639 At present I have Windows programs installed using parallels 7. I now wish to delete all Windows based programs and revert the hard drive back to its original state ie single partition. How do I go about it??

It's not clear if you installed Windows in a virtual machine or you installed Windows in Boot Camp but you run it in Parallels.
If you installed Windows in Boot Camp, open "Boot Camp Assistant" (it's in /Applications/Utilities) and follow the steps to restore your hard disk into one volume. If you installed Windows on a virtual machine, just open Parallels and delete the virtual machine where you have installed Windows

How can i run a windows based program on mac book pro

Can I run a windows based program on mac book pro mountain lion 10.8.4

You can use bootcamp to install windows natively on the hard drive. You then choose which OS you wish to use at startup - OS X or Windows.
You can also install Windows in a virtual machine - Parallels or VMWare Fusion - and run it simultaneously with OS X (a virtual machine is just a PC emulated in software, and you install and run windows in the emulated machine hardware).

Control key - Alt (also known as the Option key) and Delete key. However remember Chrome is not an Apple product so if that doesn't work you also might want to seek help on a Google forum that supports Chrome.

Any future copying results on the first pasted dictation to show up in the Allscripts EHR.

Trying to make Macs compatible with windows-based programs.

We have a Mac shop and are trying to set it up to run windows-based programs. I think I'm supposed to use Terminal Services for this but I don't know much about Terminal Server. Could anyone point me in the right direction for setting up our Mac machines to run windows software?

Windows software cannot run natively on a Mac OS X.
If you have a Windows server running Terminal Services, then on the Mac side you'll need the Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection client.
This will allow you to open up a Windows Terminal Services session on your Mac.
If you are not running a Terminal Server of some sort, and you wish to run Windows apps directly on the Mac... then you'll need Microsoft VirtualPC installed and configured on each Mac.

Can I install Windows 8 (DEMO) on a MAC and play windows based games ?

Can I install Windows 8 (DEMO) on a MAC and play windows based games ?

I installed the Developer beta with Bootcamp Assistant yesterday and was very impressed with the ease of the installation. Unfortunately, and I don't know if this is a problem with my video BIOS on my Macbook Air, but Windows 8 installs with two screens split horizontally - so it's effectively useless.
I tried 3 times and gave up. The same thing happens with Linux distributions, however with Linux I can pass "nomodeset" on the kernel command line which fixes it. I don't know how to do that in Windows.
This was happening with both 64x and 32-bit Win8 fwiw.
Oh, also...when I was trying to play around with Bootcamp.exe inside Windows 8, I remember a message popping up saying Bootcamp is only configurable with Windows 7 ISOs. But aside from the kernel graphics issues and some driver compatibility problems, Bootcamp loaded the Win8 ISOs fine.

Can a 128 ssd storage still effectively work if I install windows 8.1 plus msoffice and a window-based proposal system? I plan to buy a macbook air entry level with 1.7 gh i5 processor.

If you are going to use Mac OS X and its associated applications, and a BootCamp partition with Windows 8, and MS Office and all of the work created there, you will more than likely run out of space on a 128 GB SSD pretty quickly...especially if you put any music, photos or videos on it. Those things take a lot of space so you will have to be very, very careful about what you want to put on a 128 GB storage space. You would be better off going for 512 GB with what you plan on doing with it.

A fast automatic tag fixer for owners of Zen and other tag based players

Fast automatic tag fixer for owners of Zen and other tag based players.
I've written a simple freeware utility for fixing mp3 tag discrepancies. It is intended for use before uploading a bunch of albums to a tag-only media player. There's like a million of such programs out there, but this one is based on my exprience with the Creative Zen player, so it could be useful for fellow owners of the device.
First, the utility scans mp3 album folder tree looking for tag inconsistencies and suggesting corrections. After that you can review (and cancel/modify if needed) the corrections and apply the changes.
The detected tag errors can be corrected either manually or semi-automatically with the integrated Discogs search. There's a tuneable compilation processing feature, which helps keep compilation albums in one piece on your player.
You can check the utility out here http://taghycardia.narod.ru/english.html
Feature suggestions, bug reports welcomed.

The free program has been vastly updated since the last post.
Now, it can find and embed cover art for mp3 albums automatically, or it can do the opposite, remove cover images from mp3 files if you need to save space on your player or mobile device. In addition, there is an ability to correct wrong track order automatically and get exact tracklists from Discogs.
The URL is updated, too: http://taghycardia.info

Java 7 to remote in a windows based program

I am running OS X 10.9.3. I installed Java 7 yesterday to set up my remote access to a windows based program at my work. I cannot access all of my work because one program says I need to have Java 1.6.0_31 but I installed Java 7. I'm not sure if I was given that option to install that Java version on my OS version

what program used to gain remote access ?

Windows based program on Ipad2.

I really want to buy an Ipad2 but need to run a program on something portable for the next 4 months. This program is for windows based PCs. Should i take it that this is NOT possible on the Ipad???

A Windows based program will not run on the iPad. Only apps available from the App store will run on the iPad.
There are apps that will allow you to access your computer remotely from the iPad if you wanted to do it that way but you can't run Windows or OSX software for that matter on the iPad. The iPad does not run on a a conventional computer operating system.

No, you must install Windows to run Windows software. You do not need to use Boot Camp (yes, it's free because it comes with OS X.)
Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7. Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows. The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris. It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

Can I set up a home network between my mac and a windows based laptop?

Can I set up a homenetwork between my mac and a windows based laptop?

The router is te network hub.
I have a network between my Linux box and my PC and my MBP because they are both hooked up the the same router. All you need is the "192.168.1.x" address of the destination box and the software needed for the type of conection (VNC, SSH, etc).
What helps is to set up "static routing" for all boxes so the IP address does not change. I have set up my Linux box to be 192.168.1.100 always, using the MAC (the ethernet abbreviation MAC, not Macintosh) in the router's "static routing" table.
Exactly which screens you need in the router depends on te router make and the internal management screens. The router maker should have either online (if they offer it past a 1 year from purchase) or online help found through Google. A MAC address is a set of 6 hexadecimal number separated by ":" -- an example (which I imagine will match *some* MAC *somewhere* is "6A:13:F2:72:E4:A1".

My iPod touch will not let me download more apps, though I have sufficent memory space, and other internet based functions are running...

though I have sufficent memory space, and other internet based functions are running...

Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

However, since it works with other networks that really suggests a problem with your network.
