  • Can I install and run TWO versions of iTunes in Win7?

    Please, definitive answers only (as far as possible), and read the question properly before replying - it save creating a useless and confusing thread!!!
    My problem: New iTunes is awful, I like using 'CoverFlow) for navigation. Omitting it from the newer version is a mistake.
    How to resolve?: Can I, in a newly created (seperate Win7 folder from 'Program Files'), install an ADDITIONAL (and older) version, so that I don't have to uninstall the existing newer one?
    My music resource is on an external hard-drive, so, theoretically, is available to more than one installation of iTunes variants?
    I am NOT going to uninstall the new one I already have, as this is a 'normal' install which I shall upgrade accordingly.
    Can I install another, to work temporarily until iTunes put back into their relseases 'CoverFlow', by simply installing it in a different location/folder, and then pointing both to the music resource.
    Anyone tried this already, maybe even for the same reason as me, and got a definitive outcome if it works or not, without causing any conflicts?

    Thanks. Yes, I am familiar with dual-booting systems. I often do this at work. But, again, not really answering my question:
    Can I install 2 (different) versions of iTunes, on Win7 (just the one OS, or I would have said otherwise), if I install them into different folders.
    I ask as I've never tried it, and don't particularly know all about iTunes.
    To be honest, I'll just give up with this as a forum, as this is the 2nd time I've made a plain question as straight foward as a possibly can, to get an answer to a different one.
    I give up, if people just can't read properly, then answer the question , preferring instead to give me an opinion.
    With deep appreciation of you using that forum, I will bow down deeply concerned with my incompliance with your preferences. I am very sorry that instead of answering said question I provided you with solution. I solemnly swear that I will never do it again. I thank you for giving me a credit nevertheless for helpful answer.

  • How can I install and run a Windows program on my MacBook Pro/?

    How can I install and run a Windows program on my MacBook Pro?

    You have several options.
    1, Use a Virtual Machine like Vmware, Parallels etc... to Create a Virtual Windows Installation and Run your program in there.  A Virtual MAchine will runn in a Window on your Desktop and share your Mac's resources RAM HD space processor. Your MAc desktop will still be available while you run Windows install.

    2. Install Windows on a partition using Bootcamp. It will run a full installation of Windows you can boot into, and run your programs.  The Mac desktop will not available until your reboot the computer and start in OSx instead of Windows.

  • Can I install and run Photoshop CS2 on a Windows 7 64Bit OS?

    I just purchased a computer It is a Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit OS.  Can I install and run Photoshop CS2?  What issues would I have?

    For what it's worth I have Photoshop CS2 running fine on Vista x64, but I've not moved it over to my Windows 7 x64 machine.  Generally speaking, things that work fine on Vista x64 work fine on Windows 7 x64.
    That said, you might want to wait until you hear from someone who's actually tried the exact combination themselves.

    Microsoft has not written IE for Macs for a long time.

  • [Guide] Install and run Windows 7/8 from an external drive without using bootcamp (works for late 2012 iMacs with 3TB drive)

    This is a copy of a post from my blog, you can also Read it on my blog...
    Introduction
    After I received my new iMac with a 3 TB Fusion Drive, I was disappointed when I realized that Bootcamp was not running on this model and prevented me from installing Windows on it. I wanted to take advantage of the powerful iMac hardware to play games but I couldn't.
    There are a few ways of working around this limitation, but I found most of them quite complex and most of the time they required formatting the internal hard drive or repartitioning it and go for a brand new installation of Mac OS X. I was not comfortable with that.
    But there is another way, and that is to install Windows on an external hard drive, using either USB or Thunderbolt. Personally I used a Lacie Rugged 1 TB drive that has both USB3 and Thunderbolt connectors. Both work very well.
    This guide may interest you if:
    You have an internal hard drive of more than 2TB and you can't run bootcamp at all (like late 2012 iMacs with a 3TB drive)
    You have limited space or you don't want to dedicate disk space on your internal hard disk drive to a Windows installation
    What this guide will make you do:
    It will make you erase all your data from your external USB3/Thunderbolt hard drive
    It will make you install Windows on your external USB3/Thunderbolt hard drive
    It will make you install bootcamp drivers
    What this will not make you do:
    It will not make you modify anything on your internal Mac hard drive
    It will not make you use or install the bootcamp assistant
    It will not activate the Preference Pane for the default boot drive. You have to boot by pressing the ALT key to manually select your boot drive each tome you want to boot Windows.
    What you'll need
    An external hard drive with a USB3 and/or Thunderbolt connector. This drive will be formatted so ensure you saved your files before going further. You can use either an SSD drive or a classic hard drive.
    A Windows 7 or 8 install DVD or ISO (check whether to install 32 or 64 bits versions based on your Bootcamp drivers) and the corresponding Windows serial number.
    One of the following:
    Mac OS X with a Windows 7 or 8 Virtual Machine (use VMWare Fusion or Parallels Desktop for example. Note: VMWare Fusion seems to have some issues with Thunderbolt and USB3. Plug your drive to a USB2 enclosure or hub to work around this -it worked for me-, or use another VM software) → Read the important note below
    A PC running Windows 7 or 8 → Read the important note below
    Windows AIK (free) running on your Virtual Machine or on your PC, or just the imagex.exe file (the rest of the Windows AIK package is not needed)
    Download imagex.exe
    Download Windows AIK (this download and installation is not required if you have already downloaded imagex.exe)
    Bootcamp drivers for your Mac. You can get these either by running bootcamp from your Mac (Applications > Utilities > Bootcamp) or, if like me you have a 3TB drive and can't run bootcamp at all, use the direct download links here.
    A USB stick to store your bootcamp drivers
    IMPORTANT: If your Mac has a 64 bits processor, your Windows Virtual Machine on OSX, your Windows installation on your PC and your Windows DVD/ISO must also be in 64 bits!
    Step by Step guide
    Step 1: Get the install.wim file
    If you have a Windows ISO file:
    Mount the ISO
    If you're on OS X: double click on the ISO file
    If you're on on Windows 7: Use a software like Virtual Clone Drive (free)
    If you're on Windows 8: double click on the ISO file
    Open the mounted drive, then go to the "sources" folder and locate the "install.wim" file. Save this file to C:\wim\ on your Windows installation or virtual machine.
    If you have a Windows DVD: open the "sources" folder on the DVD and locate the "install.wim" file. Save this file to C:\wim\ on your Windows installation or virtual machine.
    IMPORTANT: If instead of a "install.wim" file, you have "install.esd", you can not continue this step by step guide. And an ESD file can not be converted into a WIM file. So you must get a version of the Windows installation DVD/ISO that has an install.wim file.
    Step 2: Clean, partition and format your external hard drive
    On your Windows installation or virtual machine, plug in your external hard drive (can be plugged using USB2, USB3 or Thunderbolt at this stage)
    Open the command prompt in administrator mode (cmd.exe). To run it in administrator mode, right click on cmd.exe > Run as admin.
    Type the following and hit enter to open the disk partitioner utility:
    diskpartType the following and hit enter to list your drives:
    list disk
    This will display a list of disks mounted on your computer or virtual machine. Make sure your drive is listed here before you continue.Identify the disk ID of your external hard drive. Replace # by your real external disk ID in the command below:
    select disk #Clean all partitions by typing the following (warning: this will erase all data from your external drive!):
    clean
    Create the boot parition by typing the following followed by the enter key:
    create partition primary size=350
    This will create a 350MB partition on your external driveFormat the partition in FAT32 by typing the following:
    format fs=fat32 quick
    Set this partition to active by typing:
    active
    Assign a letter to mount this partition. We will use letter B in our example. If B is already used on your PC, replace B by any other available letter:
    assign letter=b
    Windows will detect a new drive and probably display a pop-up. Ignore that.Create the Windows installation partition using all the remaining space available on the external drive by typing the following:
    create partition primary
    Format the new partition in NTFS:
    format fs=ntfs quick
    Assign a letter to mount this partition. We will use letter O in our example. If O is already used on your PC, replace O by any other available letter:
    assign letter=o
    Windows will detect a new drive and probably display a pop-up. Ignore that.Exit the disk partitioner utility by typing:
    exit
    Step 3: Deploy the Windows installation image
    Still using the command prompt in admin mode (you didn't close it, did you? ), locate the imagex.exe file mentioned in the "What you'll need" section and access its folder. In our example, we have put this file in C:\imagex\imagex.exe
    Type the following and hit enter (remember to replace o: with the letter you have chosen in the previous step):
    imagex.exe /apply C:\wim\install.wim 1 o:
    This will take some time. The Windows installation image is being deployed to your external driveOnce done, type the following to create the boot section (remember to replace o: and b: with the letters you've chosen in the previous step):
    o:\windows\system32\bcdboot o:\windows /f ALL /s b:
    If you get an error message saying that you can't run this program on your PC, then most probably you are running on a 32 bits installation of windows and you're trying to deploy a 64 bits install. This means you did not read the important notes in the beginning of this guide
    If you get an error message on the options that can be used with the BCDBOOT command, then it's because you're installing Windows 7, and the /f option is not supported. If that is the case, remove /f ALL from the command and retry.
    Step 4: Boot from your external drive and install Windows
    Plug in your external drive:
    If you've done all the previous steps from a Windows PC, unplug your external drive from your PC and plug it to your Mac, either on a USB3 or a Thunderbolt port.
    If you've done all the previous steps from your Mac using a Virtual Machine, ensure the external drive is plugged in to a USB3 or Thunderbolt port. Using USB2 should also work but you'll get very poor performance so I don't recommend doing that.
    Reboot your Mac and once the bootup sound is over, immediately press the ALT (option) key and release it only when the boot drives selection screen appears. If you did not get the boot drives selection screen, reboot and try again. The timing to press the ALT (option) key is quite short. It must not be too early or too late.
    On the boot selection screen, choose "Windows" using the arrow keys on your keyboard, then press enter.
    The Windows installation starts. Follow the on-screen instructions as normal. The installation program will restart your computer one or 2 times. Don't forget to press ALT (option) right after the bootup sound, and boot on Windows again each time to continue the installation.
    Step 5: Install bootcamp drivers
    Once the Windows installation is complete, plug in the USB stick where you stored the bootcamp drivers (see "what you'll need" section), open it and right click on "setup.exe" and select "Run as admin". Follow the on-screen instructions.If you have an error saying that you can't run this program on this PC, obviously you have installed a 32 bits version of Windows and the bootcamp drivers for your Mac are made for a 64 bits version. You have to restart the whole guide and make sure to get a 64 bits version of Windows this time!
    Once the bootcamp drivers are all installed, reboot and press ALT (option) after the bootup sound to boot on Windows again. And Voilà, you have Windows installed on your USB3/Thunderbolt drive running on your Mac.
    Now each time you want to boot on Windows, press and hold the ALT (option) key after the startup sound and select "Windows", then press Enter.

  • HT1899 Can I install and run Windows XP on my MacBook Pro 13in. OS X 10.7.5?  If so, where can I buy it?

    I'm planning to use my macbook pro to record music, but some of the programs I will be using are only compatible with Windows.  I was told that it was possible to install & run windows XP onto my macbook pro by using Bootcamp.  I just don't know how fullproof or problematic this might be, or if it has even been successfully attempted yet.  Please help!
    Thx, K

    You can use XP with 10.7.x by installing XP when the Mac is operating from OS X 10.6.8. It can then be up graded to 10.7.x. Below I have reproduced the "Hatter " method instructions that I have used successfully. If your MBP cannot boot from and install 10.6.8 then it is a no go situation.
    Upgrade 10.6.8 to 10.7 or 10.8
    Use a maintenance utility like Yasu or Cocktail to prepare existing internal Mac OSX  HDD.
    Clone the internal Mac partition to an external HDD with SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner.
    Restart from the cloned external HDD and select it as the startup volume via System Preferences / Startup Disk.
    Install 10.7 or 10.8 on the cloned external HDD replacing 10.6.8 or 10.7.x.
    Install 10.7.x or 10.8.x updates on the external HDD
    Restart the updated 10.7.x or 10.8.x  external HDD and test and adjust the preferences if needed.
    When satisfied, clone only  the 10.7.x or 10.8.x  external HDD back to the existing internal Mac HDD replacing 10.6.8 or 10.7.x  but don't include the recovery partition.
    The Boot Camp partition will not be altered as to drive id which appeared to cause problems for a few people.
    The recovery partition will be on the ext HDD and can be used for trouble shooting. A more convenient way to have the recovery/reinstallation environment is to create a Lion install USB thumb drive.

  • Can 6i install and run in Pentium4

    Hi all,
    I want to buy new P4 PC for development in Dev 6i rel 2. Can I use Dev 6i with P4?
    Thanks in advance for your info.

    You can run Forms 6i on pentium 4 PCs. There was some issue with Pentium 4 to do with Sun's JDK, which was fixed in JInitiator 1.1.8.10 (although it's recommended to use 1.1.8.13 as a minimum).
    So download the latest JInitiator.
    Ultimately you Forms will install on Pentium 4, but you may need a higher patchset than 4, I don't know off the top of my head.
    Regards,
    Robin Zimmermann

  • Can I install and run Tiger on a slave hard drive?

    I apologize if this has been covered somewhere, but I did a search and couldn't find it.
    I want to be able to boot to another internal drive that I have in case of emergencies, etc. with my main Tiger OS hard drive (an external firewire drive).
    Anyway, I already have an OS 9 hard drive in there and it's set to master (with slave present) with the pins on the drive. But, there is another drive (set to slave) that would be perfect for my extra Tiger OS install.
    Will I be able to boot from this "slave" hard drive after I install Tiger on it?
    Thanks for your time.
