Any special considerations using Win 7 in Mavericks with Parallels

Just wondering -- I'm going to, I think, move up to Win 7 home premium edition because XP is no longer supported; it's on my bootcamp partition and I use that for parallels.
Any problems or specail considerations when using parallels with Win 7? I'm on Mavericks and I don't have any problems with XP.
I do seem to have one problem -- all the versions of win 7 out there are something called OEM system builds and I'm not sure exactly what that means, but I guess it's not the same as a version that you would buy at a store and could move from one machine to the other; can anyone shed more light on this and offer any advice? I'm not sure that I want to go to Windows 8. I use windows for work and that's it; otherwise I don't want to deal with it, but I have to for my job, and that's it. I'd stick with XP if I could, but no such luck; cant' seem to use the remote desktop connection anymore.
In any event, I can't seem to find a 'regular' version of Win 7 home premium; all the one's I've come across are system build versions; but they are fairly cheap -- about $100 or so. Should I just go with windows 8 and pay the extra money for the latest OS or is it not worth it, in your opinion?

So just one more question -- the graphics display for Win 7 is
DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver
My MB Pro has is a 13" mid 2010
Chipset Model: NVIDIA GeForce 320M
2.4 ghz intel core 2 duo (which will work).
The HD is more than large enough.
I assume this will work fine with Windows 7? I don't know if the NVIDIA is equivalent or superior to the directx

Still using Tiger 10.4.11, with Parallels 2.0 (build 3214)...

Hi, All:
I haven't upgraded to Leopard yet - I'm still using Tiger (10.4.11) with Parallels 2.0 (build 3214) so that I can run Windows XP (so that I can use Quicken for Windows).
I'd like to upgrade to Leopard, but I am reticent to do so because of having Windows XP on-board. Quicken is essential, and everything works fine together, at present.
Any suggestions on the most painless way to upgrade to Leopard? How hard is it to reinstall Windows afterward (and should I do so via BootCamp or should I buy a new copy of Parallels [or the other VM brand]?). What about keeping all the Mac software I already have on my MacBook (MS Office 2004, Adium, HandBrake, Carbon Copy Cloner, CleanApp, SuperDuper, etc.).
Sorry if this has been asked a jillion times before...

There is no reason why you'd lose your XP installation. Your XP virtual drive should be located in your Documents folder.
By default the installation CD will just upgrade your current OS. Since parallels is installed as an application and some info in your user space this won't be effected.
Alternately when you upgrade you have three options.
1) Upgrade (this is the default and will just install your new OS overtop the old but keep all your old applications and user settings and home directory).
2) Archive and install (this will archive your user directory and then install a new system you'll have to move all you user files into a new user directory).
3) Erase and install. (you will lose everything since this erases your drive don't select this option)

Is there any information about using iCloud on a Mac with multiple user accounts (Mountain Lion)

When upgrading to Mountain Lion, you are asked to sign in using your iCloud ID. I don't understand how to set up the proper synching of "stuff" if your Mac has multiple user accounts, and they each have their own iCloud ID.
The whole issue of supporting multiple users on a Mac and making everything easy to understand with regard to iTunes and iCloud is, in my opinion, currently in a state of disaster. Apple needs to address this. They have conveniently made it a non-issue on iPads by not allowing multiple users. I can tell you that as one of the resident iOS and Apple experts in my office, most of the questions I get from others (not work-related) are on this topic. It needs to be easier to understand and accomplish.
Thanks in advance for any information you have on this subject.

Any possiblity to use single Inbound Service Interface with multiple Receiver Agreements

Hi All,
Scenario: PROXY to FILE.
Requirement is to receive to two locations.
Is it possible to use single Inbound interface with multiple Receiver Agreements. I tried using two operation in the Inbound Service Interface, and Operation Specific in Determination. But couldnt proceed further. Do I need to use seperate Service Interface for two receiver locations?
Please suggest some solution.

Hi Naveen,
There is a possibility but in the case in the same server location with dynamic configuration: Placing file in two different directories using single receiver communication Channel
With different location you would need to develop a new adapter module as Amit Srivastava explains and develops here Send File to Two Different Locations using Adapter Module

Is there any way to use the Korg Kaossilator Pro with Garageband 6.0.5?

I'm getting pretty decent at working around with the newest version of Garageband. I've gotten my Akai MPK Mini (usb/midi keyboard) to work by adjusting a few preferences here and there, but for the last week I have been trying and trying to get my Korg Kaossilator Pro to hook up MIDI with Garageband. I understand if the program/software isn't as advanced as Logic or Ableton (be getting those soon!) If anybody could help me it would be MUCH appreciated
P.S. if anybody is having troubles with exporting the AIFF/WAV/MP3 audio files I could give you a bit of help. I have figured out how to correctly export the audio loops and sounds that I have made from my Kaossilator Pro into Garageband! It is quite simple actually and is ALOT easier than you would think. Following the tempo/pitch for your song w/ these WAV/AIFF files is really easy too! I have made almost 4 songs now just using samples and loops from my Kaossilator Pro. I just would like to know if anybody has found out how to use it MIDI w/ Garageband? It would REALLY help me out Thanks!

yeeeeah thats what i've been figuring out for the last 12 hours haha. kinda've a pain but hey it works out. u can still throw some pretty cool effects and what not. Even with MIDI cables running from my kaoss pro into my mac doesn't work. i can transfer the loops I make on my kaoss pro to the editor on my comp, then transfer those files to GB then go from there. It ***** there isn't a way to hook it in and sync it w/ GB so you can hit record then start jamming on the kaoss pro. Thanks for the response though!

[closed-case] Any way to use an older GCC toolchain with makepkg?

I'm having issues with a package in AUR: Code::Blocks SVN.
I'm writing this question in Newbie Corner because it is a general question with that particular PKGBUILD being a case of it.
Anyway, I'm running into compilation issues. I believe if I could use an older version of g++, say 4.6.3 instead of 4.7.0, that the compilation would succeed. My question: is it possible to have side-by-side GCC installs and how would I specify, perhaps in /etc/makepkg.conf, which to use for a PKGBUILD?
Edit:
Here is a thread on Code::Blocks own forums which highlights that GCC 4.7.0 has compilation issues with C::B.

The most recent non-cross-compiling GCC in AUR is GCC45. It's an orphan and the latest comment in it says the build is broken.
Thank you though, I've decided to wait for a patch - that is the most reasonable thing all around. However, there is a "gcc 4.7.0 broken" thread on Code::Blocks forums so I believe I'll post there as well - eventually, hopefully, the C::B SVN will Just Work™ on Arch
I'll mark this thread as closed-case, not because it is solved but because it has been fully considered.

Basic question; compatability of Win XP oem version with Parallels on mac

I am very new to this, being a recent win to mac convert so please excuse.
I have ordered a new Imac 24 and I need to use a few of my old windows programs on it. I understand the use of parallel and boot camp.
my question; I would like to purchase the OEM version of Win XP as it is less expensive than the full boxed version.
Will it work on the boot camp and Parallel programs and allow me to boot up win XP on my new mac and use the windows based Dragon Naturally speaking program.???
thanks in advance for your anticipated response.

Yes

Special Considerations about BPC on HANA System Copy

Hello experts,
We will do a system copy for BPC on HANA from DEV to QAS (system installation with system copy method), are there any special considerations about the copy.
Addtionally, can I say that the system copy for BPC and for BW are the same (both follow the system copy guide based on SAP NetWeaver)? Are the follow-up activites the same for both?
Thanks & Best Regards,
Tong Ning

Hi Tong,
If nothing has been changed in DEV after installation then backup & copy should be fine. I was thinking that you want to move custom development that way; recommended way for it is Transport system.
Not sure if this will be faster than just installing everything in QAS.
I'd think that the only follow-up activities would be change of references: to itself and to other systems. If active BW is in same box then it's more to change; if BW only serves as a platform for BPC then it's only SM59 and SPRO.
Regards,
Gersh

No Internet with Parallels (using Vista)

Just got Parallels and Installed Windows Vista. For some reason I can't get on the internet. Under device manager networking isn't even an option. I can't turn on network discovery, and because of all of this I can't get on the internet with windows to get necessary software and rives. Using the Mac side everything is kosher and i can surf the web. Any advice so I can surf the web with parallels?

Using ProShow Gold in conjunction with PSE4

I would be interested if anybody has any comments on using ProShow Gold in conjunction with PSE4 (under Windows XP).
I am currently trying out the evaluation version of ProShow Gold 2.6.
My reasons for trying out ProShow as an alternative to the built in PSE4 slideshow maker are:
(1) More and better transitions available.
(2) More control over audio - timing, fading and voice-overs for individual slides.
(3) DVD burning available without going to Nero or other product.
(4) Getting away from the problem of backing up slideshows under PSE4.
ProShow Gold does have a folder pane for picking photos but if the photos required for a particular show are spread over a large number of folders (which is almost certainly the case for most PSE4 users) it is not very convenient.
I therefore use Organizer, with all its tagging and searching and collection facilities as a "front end" for ProShow from which to drag selected photos. The only problem is that it is rather hard to find room on a single monitor for both programs simultaneously.
ProShow also allows for an "external image editor" to be specified. But after nominating PSE4, I find that clicking on ProShow's "Edit" button only invokes Organizer, and does not open the image in Editor as I would have expected.
EDIT - please disregard last paragraph - I did not have things set up properly.

I use Proshow in preference to Elements. I find the quality of the end product is far better.
I also use Elements Orgainser to make a collection of the images for the show and then drag them onto Proshow. I've found it works best by dragging the images into Proshows Light Box, which can be detached from the main window. You can shrink the Proshow main window down very small and the Organiser down too. As long as you have all the images selected in the Organiser and can just see one, you can drag this over to Proshow.
You need to be careful of the order in which they appear in your Collection.
I've found a 'feature' in Proshow that may just be unique to my setup. The preview, Full Screen or otherwise is not sharp. I have to go into the make Executable dialog and set up my screen dimensions. Once this is done the output is nice and clear.

Can I buy an iPhone without a carrier and use it as an iPod with...

Can I buy an iPhone without AT&T or any carrier and use it as an iPod with a camera and a microphone?

Apple Australia are selling the iPhone 3G for A$719, the iPhone 3Gs 16 GB for A$879, the iPhone 3Gs 32 GB for A$1040. No contract. After allowing for tax differences, at the moment these are around $100 more expensive than USA prices (Apple tend to set and keep prices relative to the date the item was released, regardless of further changes in exchange rates). This is about A$500 more than an equivalent iPod Touch, so you are paying a premium.
I am also contemplating buying a replacement iPhone without a phone contract, as most of the time I do not need to use the amount of call time required by a contract. I can already change my data package on a month to month basis. My use pattern is generally a couple of months with no real need for a phone, followed by slightly less than a month of intensive data use, usually in remote areas. Also my partner really, really wants to grab my existing iPhone to replace the iPod Touch she grabbed earlier. The extra iPhone facilities really do give it a decent edge over the iPod. In particular, the always present camera proved way more handy than I ever expected. So I am being encouraged to upgrade.
Still unknown is whether I can change SIM cards on an ad hoc basis. All major Australian phone companies sell iPhones (except most have stock shortages). Some carriers are only workable in major cities (but have cheap pre paid cards). Others are really expensive, but work well in country areas. Being able to run multiple appropriate SIM cards on different carriers would be really helpful.
