Any way to install Vista in 10.4 other than Boot Camp?

Since Boot Camp for Tiger went to the chopping block, is there any way to install Vista on my old-ish iMac? My brother's a gamer....

I don't think so.
The closest thing you can do would be getting VMware Fusion
It's a parallel so it runs right on your mac side
It's not quite as fast as native speed, but it's about 90%-95% and works really well for everything except gaming
There's a free beta out now, so you might wanna try that

  • Any way to insert into a database clob other than streaming chars ?

    I have a jsp with a textarea object which I am inserting into an Oracle clob.
    I am using the thin driver.
    I have a problem in that if it is quite large (say over 2K) it falls over with "connection reset by peer" I think this may be because you aren't supposed to use this method with the thin driver, but I don't want to use OCI.
    So is there any other way to insert my text into the database without having to explicitly select the row first for update as this is essentially a new insert so doing it like this I would have to first of all insert the other columns then reselect the row for update of the clob.
    Thanks.

    Most, if not all, database management systems have their own features to read text data from files.  You may prefer that functionality over piping the data through ColdFusion and the database drivers.
    <cffile...> can "read" .doc and .pdf file as in it can read the file from the file system as the binary data they are, but that does not extract the text from the content.  You can do some stuff with CFML to read the text in a pdf file with the <cfpdf...> and related tags and functions.  I'm not aware of similar CFML features that work with doc files, but I know of Java tools that do such as POI.  These are usually fairly straight forward to tap into with ColdFusion.

  • HT5449 In my iPad I can easily switch languages by hitting the world icon.   I have it set up to switch betwee english and spanish.  I can use both in  one document.   Is there any way to do this on the mAC other than go to system preferences?

    When I am dictating on my ipad, I can switch back and forth between languages by clicking the world icon.  On the MAC it seems as though I have to go to system preferences and switch language there.   That is a little cumbersome,  Is there a way of switching on the MAC?
    Paul

    System Preferences/Language & Text/Input Sources - Select the languages you want and then Show Input menu in menu bar. This allows you to switch back and forth from the menu bar.

  • Is there any way to report on Custom Object 3 other than lists?

    Looks like the answer is no but just wondering if anyone has come up with a brilliant work around. I guess the only chance is with Web Services, or is Custom Object 3 the red headed step child there as well?
    I read in an earlier thread that R15 fix/patch may enable the ablity to report in analytics OD on the Custom Objects, any idea if Custom Object 3 will be included?
    I wish the documentation pointed this out somewhere! It would have been nice to know before I created the Objects funtionality!
    Live and learn...
    Dan D

    It is my understanding that the patch will be applied automatically for all customers. The patch will enable reporting on custom Objects 1, 2 & 3 and will have subject areas for Custom Object, Custom Object & Account, Custom Object & Opportunity, Custom Object & Contact, and Custom Object & Service Request.
    (That is 5 subject areas per custom object for a total of 15 new subject areas!)

  • Any way to install EFI 1.7 ?

    Hello,
    Is there really any way to install the updated EFI 1.7 in a Macbookpro Early 2008 ?
    I'm sure that the controller is compatible with the SATA II and i really need an update of the EFI in my computer.
    On the apple updated EFI page there is even NO Update for my computer model and no information about the EFI ! What's that ???
    If someone found a solution for enabling the Sata II in that computer model; please let me know !
    Thank you.

    Sorry to have post in the wrong part of the forum.
    But i whant to know why there is no Firmware update.
    Today SSD are really faster than Hard drive and my computer model is limited by Software at 1.5Gb/s but from the chipset (Hardware) ICH8-M AHCI it is capable of 3Gb/s.
    (i have screenshots to prove that this chipset can run at 3Gb/s if you dont trust me.)
    So, when you say that apple said that it doesn't need an update, i really don't understand how they can say such thing today.
    And because it is a "pro" machine wich cost me over 2K€ i think it really deserve, since the controller is capable of better performances.
    And still, me and others custommer will really appreciate that update to run their computer faster.
    Thank you for your understanding.

  • Any way to install Windows 7 by copying the install disk to a HD first?

    Any way to install Windows 7 by copying the install disk to a HD first?
    I have HDs installed in my optical bays.
    I can copy the Win 7 install disk to a new freshly formatted HD if needed.
    I am unable to install from my Firewire DVD.
    It will not work.
    I have a NTFS partition ready to go on an internal drive.
    If there is a way to do this I would appreciate any help.
    I really do not want to put my DVD back in if it can be avoided.
    Thanks ... Ken

    I've done an install off a hard drive, but I was already running Windows on a separate drive partition.
    People have put DVD on flash memory, though that is 'maybe' and depends on booting from USB devices.
    I routinely put OS X Install DVD on a firewire hard drive and installs quickly (to say nothing of booting in under 60 sec).

  • Bought two audition cs6 licenses one for pcs and one for mac, not finding any way to install on mac

    I bought two audition cs6 licenses, one for our pcs and one for our macs...not finding any way to install on our macs...when I run the cd it only has programs for windows...nothing for mac...I have my mac serial number, but no install app...

    If you don't have the Mac files with the disc you can probably still download the installation files and use your serial number from the purchase to activate.  Here is a link to CS6 downloads:
    Download CS6 products
    You should check with Adobe support regarding getting the disc copy of the files if that is what you purchased, unless they know something that would result in the files already being in your possession thru that disc somehow.
