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 i use an ipod on a mac and a windows computer?

    Can iPod Classic be used on a Mac and a Windows computer, or do I have to choose only one?

    Yes, it can. Restore it on the PC; doing so on the Mac will put it in a format the PC can't use.

  • Can i install creative cloud in both mac and PC? up to how many computers can i install the creative cloud?

    Hiya, i am new to the latest version of creative cloud. Wonder if i can install creative cloud in both mac and PC? And up to how many computers can i install the creative cloud? If I am going to graduate in a few months time, can I still use student discount to purchase the one year package and pay it off in one go? Thanks! !

    Sure , you can install on both Mac as well as PC .
    Max activation allowed = 2 computers.
    Student discounted price will be valid for one year.
    Later you can purchase with different Adobe ID , with valid proof of eligibility .
    Once you had purchased yearly prepaid subscription , it will not expire for another one whole year , whether you are still student or finished graduation. It will expire after year.

  • Can same iPod connect to both a Mac and a Windows PC?

    I have a PC at work and a Mac at home. I'd like to be able to use both computers to transfer songs to my iPod Nano. Can I do that, or do iPods need to be associated with only one computer??

    Probably the easiest way to use an iPod on both Mac and Windows computers is to format the iPod (using iPod Updater) using the PC. This will force your iPod to use the Windows file system (FAT32) which both the Mac and PC can read from and write to without the help of additional software.
    Of course then all your software updates for the iPod will have to be done on Windows.


    If you need to use a Mac (HFS+) formatted iPod on a Windows PC, you'll need to install some 3rd party software such as XPlay 2.0 or MacDrive (which you can get from MediaFour Software). This will enable your Windows PC to read a Mac-formatted iPod.

    Go back to Boot Camp, delete the Windows partition (Boot Camp partition) and return the drive to as it was before you installed Windows. Then start again.

  • Can I install the traditional CS6 product (not creative cloud) on a mac and a windows pc?

    Hey,
    I already know that with creative cloud I can install CS6 on both a mac and a windows pc.
    But what about the traditional CS6 version (without creative cloud membership).
    Is it possible to install on both mac and windows pc, too, or is it restricted to one operating system, like in CS5.5 still?

    Traditional versions (perpetual licenses) are still platform specific: Windows only or Mac only.
    Installation on both Mac and PC is one of the USPs (Unique Selling Propositions) of the Cloud versions.

    Serial numbers for older versions do not work across platforms.
    At one time, when the product was current, you could get Adobe to switch you to the other platform, but I don't know whether Adobe will do that for old versions.  I do know it's not going to work if you try to use your Windows license for a Mac installation.

    Hello,
    see >>> http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html  here >>> How many computers can I install on
    I quote: You may install software on up to two computers. These two computers can be Windows, Mac OS, or one each.
    If you install on a third computer, it will request you to de-activate on the other two computers. You can then reactivate one of the previous two computers, and use Creative Cloud apps on it.
    Good luck!

  • Can I install Linux for Windows on my Apple Mac and afterwards use old windows programs as PageMaker on my new Mac. If yes where can I find Linus windows for Mac

    Can I install Linux for Windows at my new Mac and afterwards use old Windows programs as Photo Shop and PageMaker on my Mac? If yes where at the Internet can I find Linux for Mac and Windows?

    What is your definition of a "Linux for Windows" ?
    There is Linux like Ubuntu which can be installed on a Mac
    See the UbuntuForuns here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam
    And there is Microsoft Windows which can be installed and used on a Mac with Apples BootCamp http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/ or through Virtualization apps like Parallels, VMWare Fusion or VirtualBox.
    Windows Programs don't run in a Linux only in Windows.

  • 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.

    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.

  • I can't install flash player on my mac 10.6.8

    I can't install flash player on my mac 10.6.8, it supposedly downloads but then I can't find it, when I search for flash player in downloads in the finder, I get three choices:
    1. Adobe flash player install manager:  when I click on this, the options are either to quit or uninstall.
    2. Flash Player:  when I click on this, it shows me Flash Player in the finder, when I click on that, it leads me to install it again.
    3. Install Adobe Flash Player: just taked me back to install it again.
    But it never seems to install or open.
    Any help would be great, thanks!!

    Hello,
    Welcome to Adobe Forums
    You may download offline installer for Adobe Flash Player from here : Flash Player
    Once download is finished, close all the browser windows and then double click on the file to launch Adobe Flash Player installation.
    Thanks,

  • I have bought elements 11 premiere and photoshop. can i install to both my computors, pc and mac

    I have bought elements 11 premiere and photoshop. I have two computors PC and a Mac. Can i install them into both computors. Do i use the same licience number.

    Yes.
    Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements are two of the few Adobe products which come with a multi-platform serial number: Mac and/or Windows.
    You're allowed a maximum of two activations per license. So you can install them on Mac/Mac, Win/Win or Mac/Win.
