Are there any parallels alternative programs?

Rather than booting Mac OS X and Windows separately, I was wondering if I could use both at the same time. I know I can with Parallels, but I was hoping there was a free alternative out there?
I already checked with open source sites, like sourceforge, but didn't find anything.

Hi Eric,
first thing coming to mind is VirtualBox http://www.virtualbox.org/
Also at the end of this article there is a list of possibilities: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_machine
But to my knowledge in terms of speed and reliability nothing beats Parallels or Fusion.
Have Fun

Simple question. Since apple has extinguished iDVD Are there any other Software programs that can produce the end product iDVD did?

There are many a thousands of people who are producingvideos on completed DVDs. As an amateur videographer using iMovie first nowusing Final Cut pro to produce completed ready to distribute DVDs, I find ithard to believe at the meeting you mentioned anyone with common sense wouldhave explained the scenario above. On an amateur level so many folks have beencreating videos of Weddings, Home Movies, and many different Special Events. Onin particular are sports events. I shoot a sports event like Mix Martial ArtsEvents utilizing several video cameras. Then editing with Final cut Pro andsometimes iMovie. All of my completed videos that have been edited in either ofthese two programs are shared (like hand in glove) with iDVD. Short of steppinginto the commercial world Apple has deleted many people from producing a semiprofessional looking product.
I do not know if the can be answered here in the format buthere it goes!!

It doesn't seem there are any programs that takes off fromwhere iDVD left off. My end products (complete videography from start tofinished printed and burned DVD) needs to have the mapping and control usingthe semi professional look iDVD gave!
Have any ssuggestions?

Thank you Klaus 1
I have 4 latest Macs All have iDVD. The question was not where to get iDVD.
The question for anyone who knows is: Since apple has extinguished iDVD Are there any other Software programs that can produce the end product iDVD did?
I appreciate your input but it realy does not answer the question. iDVD will soon not be able to work with newer versions of Macs as it has been left behind by Apple!
Once again:
It doesn't seem there are any programs that takes off from where iDVD left off.

Imovie cannot do this. More importantly imovie cannot save the project to Video_TS folders like iDVD did.
Anyone have suggestions?

Are there any good fax programs that work with Efax besides Efax Messenger

I just signed up for a free months trial of Efax. I downloaded the Efax Messenger program which seems to work well except for the fact that it does not save any fax packages (on my computer) that I send out. This is an important needed feature. If I send out a package of 5 or 6 files to someone I need to be able to look up what I've sent them. The only way I can do this is to put all the files in a folder named for that particular fax, then put that folder in a second folder that is labeled faxes, then fax the files from the folder by Efax. Quite a process. I called Efax and was told that this feature was only available for a Windows Machine (Efax, catch up!)
Are there any other programs that are easy to use and at least as good as the Efax Messenger that have that feature?
We are traveling in a sailboat, don't have a land line. We only have a wifi internet connection when they are available, (internet cafes, etc.) or sometimes at anchor using long range wifi. I don't have the luxury of going online to check faxes all the time, hence the necessity of having them on the computer.
Any help appreciated.

Just to be clear, though, reducing the resolution of an LCD can have a negative effect on image quality. LCDs have an optimal "native" resolution and setting the resolution below that native level results in a poorer quality image.
Leopard claims "resolution independence" - I have not tried it yet, but if you read the description of this feature, you will note that it applies to the user interface elements. Granted, that's often what you notice the most (i.e. the problem with reducing the resolution below native for an LCD is that the text in Finder, all of the menu bar items, etc., looks "fuzzy"). By appropriately scaling the UI elements, Leopard overcomes the limitation. But the "fuzzyness" will still apply to non-UI things that are displayed - i.e. images. Since based on your posts you will be working with images primarily, high-res vs. standard is still a choice I'd recommend considering carefully, and ideally by trying them both side-by-side.
Ps. Thanks for awarding points!

Are there any other alternatives to Adobe software? I don't want to buy your products anymore because I don't like Creative Cloud.

I've purchased many versions of legitimate packaged and registerable Adobe software in the past. But I'm afraid that I've come to the end of the road with Adobe because it no longer sells boxed software amd jas fprced a;; pf ots isers tp [ircjase Creatove Cpid/
Do any other users feel the same way?
Would you like to express your displeasure with this policy?
If so, type your comments here.
Also, if others can mention alternatives to Adobe's software, it'd be greatly appreciated, as I'm looking for them.
Thanks.

I have had nothing but issues with creative cloud. The programs will not run properly, Its been two months and neither Adobe or I can figure out what is going on. About the only option I have left is to format my hard drive and try on a fresh Windows install. Talk about a waste of money.

HT1711 Are there any known lyrics programs that work?

I am running Windows 8, Itunes 11.4, I have Itunes Match, and am looking for a plugin, app, or anything that will automatically go through my library and get the lyrics and display them. I have already tried looking through web forums, downloaded a couple plugins and nothing is working. So does anyone know of anything that can work besides manually inputing them all?

I have had the Garmin XT for 6 months and have not seen any billing for air time. The GPS can do special items suchas search for best gas prices in the area. When you do that the unit says it is accessing the internet and you are being charged but for directions there is no charge beats 10/month or more for fees. If you get a phone with a built in PGS the phone company will try to charge you for using it. With the XT you are using the GPS box from Garmin as you would a stand alone Garmin device which is no charge.
The only question is are you willing to put up with your phone being constantly shut down. I talked to Garmin and they said they never heard of the problem before.

Are there any diagnostic software programs?

I think my fan is broken. My battery is buckling. Thx for your help.

Take your machine in for service immediately. You don't need any diagnostic software to know there's a problem if your battery is buckling.

Are there any alternatives for mseg and mkpf

I had to display from table S032...following fields.
S032-LETZTABG --> Date: last (i.e. most recent) goods issue
S032-LETZTVER --> Date: last (i.e. most recent) consumption
However the data was not properly filled in s032 table. So I went for mseg and mkpf table to get budat based on moment types.
    SELECT   MSEG~MATNR
             MSEG~WERKS
             MSEG~LGORT
             MSEG~BWART
             MKPF~BUDAT
             INTO TABLE IT_MSEG
             FROM MKPF AS MKPF INNER JOIN MSEG AS MSEG
             ON
                 MKPFMBLNR = MSEGMBLNR AND
                 MKPFMJAHR = MSEGMJAHR
             FOR ALL ENTRIES IN T_OUT_TMP
            WHERE MSEG~MATNR EQ T_OUT_TMP-MATNR
              AND MSEG~WERKS EQ T_OUT_TMP-WERKS.
Are there any other alternative table for mseg and mkpf...
Because my above coding ( which includes above SELECT of mseg and mkpf )got performance issue...
Could you please suggest me anyu other alternative for mseg and mkpf ...

Try to include the BUDAT in the selection of the MKPF.. if you don't have any restriction in MKPF than just pass an empty range.
RANGES: S_BUDAT FOR MKPF-BUDAT.
SELECT
MKPF~BUDAT   "<<<
MSEG~MATNR
MSEG~WERKS
MSEG~LGORT
MSEG~BWART
INTO TABLE IT_MSEG
FROM MKPF AS MKPF INNER JOIN MSEG AS MSEG
ON
MKPF~MBLNR = MSEG~MBLNR AND
MKPF~MJAHR = MSEG~MJAHR
FOR ALL ENTRIES IN T_OUT_TMP
WHERE
MKPF~BUDAT IN S_BUDAT   " <<<
MSEG~MATNR EQ T_OUT_TMP-MATNR
AND MSEG~WERKS EQ T_OUT_TMP-WERKS.

Are there any free remote desktop programs

Are there any free remote desktop or remote assistance programs available for Panther? I only need a server for the Panther computer, as I would be helping that user, but he would not need to help me. I was wondering if anyone knew of any. I wanted to try LogMeIn, but it requires Tiger. I couldn't find anything at Wikipedia's comparison of remote desktop applications. Thanks

I have Mac OSX Lion 10.7.4, Quickbooks Pro 2010, Parallels Desktop 7 for Mac, Operating in Windows 7. Are there any recommendations for running Quickbooks Pro 2010?

I have Mac OSX Lion 10.7.4, Quickbooks Pro 2010, Parallels Desktop 7 for Mac, Operating in Windows 7. Quicbooks Pro 2010 is not responding or opening currently. Quickbooks does not support Parallels anymore. I hear Apple Bootcamp is an opton. Are there any recommendations for running Quickbooks Pro 2010 on Mac?

QuickBooks Pro 2010 for Mac is not supported in Lion. QB Pro 2011 will work, but I just got an email today that 2011 will not be updated to work in Mountain Lion. QB Pro 2012 will be updated for ML.
Be aware that the Mac version of QuickBooks is shamefully lacking in features compared to the Windows version. I do use the Mac version, but it has more features than I need for a small business, so it doesn't affect me. No one knows why Intuit seems to hate Mac users, but they show it every day.
If QB Pro 2012 for Mac can be downloaded as a demo, I would strongly suggest testing with it before making a final decision. You will be able to import the Windows data, but possibly not all of it, depending on the Windows version features you use.
Boot Camp allows you to install Windows on its own, bootable partition. When you boot to it, you are of course running Windows in every sense of the word. Just on Mac hardware rather than typical PC gear. Your Windows version of QB will work there without issue. The problem is having to boot back and forth between Windows and OS X, depending on what software it is you need to use at the time.

Are there any packages compatable with LabVIEW to make the program CFR21 part 11

Hello All,
Are there any packages that are compatable with a LabVIEW program, which creates a .csv file, that would make the program CFR 21 Part 11 compliant?

A quick search of Google for " cfr 21part 11 labview" returns several links.

Apple's iOS platform (iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch) has never, and will never support flash.
First on this; Thoughts on Flash. This is from Steve Jobs regarding Apple's views on Flash (2010)
Second; Adobe stops making Flash for mobile devices. This is from Adobe themselves last year stating that they would stop making Flash for mobile devices.
If you can find the App equivalent of the programs you are looking for, then congratulations, however, if you require specific 'programs' requiring flash, then the iPad is certainly not for you, and returning it would be the best choice (granted you are still within the return period).
The lesson in this; Research what a device can and cannot do prior to purchase

Are there any good DVD authoring programs for Mac now that Apple has discontinued DVD Studio and iDVD? I need to make DVDs that have interactive menus and such (Final Cut X and Compressor 4's DVD option is a little cheap). Any ideas?

Are there any good DVD authoring programs for Mac now that Apple has discontinued DVD Studio and iDVD? I need to make DVDs that have interactive menus and such (Final Cut X and Compressor 4's DVD option is a little cheap and doesn't provide any kind of professional DVD authoring). Any ideas?

This comes up a lot these days.
Practically speaking, there are really four options for the Mac platform: Toast (<$100), Adobe Premier Productiom ($1,600 to buy or $50/month to rent), find a copy of Final Cut Studio from 3rd party (+/- $1,000 new) or a boxed edition of iLife to get iDVD ($50 - $90 on Amazon new).
The other question everyone has is how many OS versions before iDVD or FCS breaks? No one knows, but Apple has said they're no longer supporting these legacy apps. Of course, no one is mandated to upgrade to a new OS unless they buy a new computer. So if it works on a system, stay with it as long as it makes sense.
Good luck.
