Can I run Sage and MS Access either in emulator?

Hi
I am considering buying my first Macbook. I still need to run MS Access and Sage.
I have been informed that I can dual boot a Mac with Mac OS and Windows 7/8.
I wondered if there was an emulator facility that would also allow me to run Sage and MS Access instead of dual booting.
Is this possible?

Well, Virtual Box is free, the other 2 are not but have free trials (30 days) available, I use VMWare Fusion 5, not because I think it is superior but because I have used it for a long time and also use VMWare's other products for other tasks (virtualizing Exchange servers). Having said that I have used Parallels and VirtualBox without losing much of anything (or gaining much of anything either), in short they all seem to work well. Make sure to use the latest versions.
PS:
Use Windows7 Professional for it's superior memory handing and network/remote connectivity.

    Can I run rhino and grasshopper on a virtual windows on my macbook air? I keep getting a not enough memory message.

    The USB stick from your MBA cannot be used on any other Mac. You will need to purchase a retail copy of Snow Leopard for your other computer.
    If you need to purchase Snow Leopard you can still purchase a copy from Apple's online store's telesales agents.[1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753) or Customer Service and Sales Support at 1-800-676-2775.] Ask for a Sales Representative.
    Third-party sources for Snow Leopard are:
    Snow Leopard from Amazon.com
    Snow Leopard from eBay
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store.

  • Since upgrading to Mavericks, I can't run Mail and Safari at the same time.

    Since upgrading to Mavericks, I can't run Mail and Safari at the same time.
    Either Mail will crash or the iMac will run so slowly as to be unusable. With both running, the HDD spins constantly at a high rate of speed.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

    Alternatively, partition your internal HD and dual-boot it. Do note that you have to reboot to switch back and forth. You can't do it by logging out and back in.

  • HT1199 Can  I run iTunes and Apps on my Windows 7 computer or do I need an ipad or iphone ?

    Can I run ITunes and Apps on my Windows7 computer. So  far the one App I have downloaded just won't run. Do I need an iPad or IPhone to run these programmes?

    There is an iTunes on the idevices, just a Store effectvily.
    There is an iTunes on a PC and Mac, which is the Library handler, and connects to the iDevices for sync and backup.
    The Apps that you download for iDevices are downloaded with "Appstore" on that iDevice itself, or downloaded on the Mac or PC with iTunes for transferring to the iDevice.
    That apps will only run on the iDevice.
    For Window s7 and Windows 8 there has just been released a new iTunes version 11.

  • Can we run SCC7 and BDLS in parallel?

    Hi Folks,
    We are creating a new R3 system which is a copy of a large production system. There is a requirement for running BDLS to change the logical system name. Since the source system is a huge one, SCC7 and BDLS take a long time to get completed. So, just to save time in delivering the system to the customers, can we run SCC7 and BDLS simultaneously? If not, why?
    Thanks
    Ranga

    Hello,
    Is there any connection between the two? - Of course
    SCC7 is 'Post client copy processing' - which is a part of Client copy
    BDLS is logical system conversion to be done after Client copy
    Until n unless you are not finished with Client copy why would you want to convert logical systems ?
    I would say, you please go through some BDLS SAP Notes to get the concept first - as why we need to run BDLS.
    Thanks

  • I can't run LR5 and EOS utility at the same time

    I'm running Mac OS 10.9.5, LR5.7 & Eos Utility 3.
    I can't run LR and Eos3 at the same time. Eos just crashes and have to force quit Eos.
    Any tips anyone?
    Do I have to downgrade to Eos2. Not a problem really I suppose.

    LR supports tethering using a Canon DLL and EOS Utility probably also supports tethering or at least uses something from a similar Canon DLL.  You probably cannot have two different versions of that DLL loaded at the same time, so it makes sense there are problems.

  • Can we run SYSAUD and DDDAUD reports from AppDesigner? If yes, how to?

    Can we run SYSAUD and DDDAUD reports from AppDesigner? If yes, how to?

    No, you cannot run any program from AppDesigner. This is a development tool.
    However, without the front end application, you could be able to run programs through the commands lines (PSSQR/PSAE...)

    Just adding to what CSound has said.
    Pages and Numbers will change Word and Excel documents when they open and close them.
    Sometimes the change is subtle and sometimes not. With the latest versions of Pages and Numbers, more likely not.
    So don't think you are going to work with MsOffice files without problems. You will always have something not right and in some cases really annoyingly not right. Like having all the text from Pages appear bold in MsWord, or page breaks in the wrong place or some objects and graphics not appearing in one or the other.
    If working between different Operating Systems and MsOffice files, I also recommend LibreOffice. It opens and saves nearly all file formats. Unfortunately not .pages or numbers. Yet. The folks at LibreOffice are busy adding to it all the time, and making sure it works in all Operating systems, Mac, Windows and Linux and they are promising iOS as well soon.

  • Can I run sage accounts and payrol on an apple imac?

  • Can I run FCP7 and FCP X on the same system?

      I can't open my FCP 7 projects in FCP X so I will need both programs to run simultaneously so I can access previous work while building new cuts.  This seems utterly ridiculous but it appears to be true.  Please correct me if I'm wrong since I have more than 400 FCP 7 projects, the majority of which are still ongoing... what do I do to handle this, start from scratch on 400 projects that date back several years... brutal.

    Personally, I'd never switch a project in which I've invested time and effort to a new application, other than a test project to begin the investigation into how the new app could work in the future. I don't think "pros" even update an existing app like FCP while in a project unless the update is specifically for an issue they are having with their project. FCP7 is great and will continue to be great, ongoing projects should stay there.
    It will be interesting to see as FCP X matures if Apple or a third party develops a way to import FCP7 projects, or at least aspects of it, but as FCP X is such a different approach I wouldn't count on it.
    Apparently that means that someday we'll need to "freeze" an FCP7 installed system in time (not today, but in the next year os so) to be able to just work on and have access to FCP7 projects. New and discontinued apps are a fact of life in computer world, as inconvenient as it may be. Operating Systems, and hardware that will run them, go away too. In 20+ years I've had to abandon OS platforms, apps, and documents, or make a switch where I had to start over, but never anything as complex or meaningful as my FCP7 projects.
    So, basically, I agree with Tom, I just use a few more words. ::grin::

  • Can we run Internet and intranet application on same node?

    Hi,
    Could we run Internet and Intranet applications on same node?
    Regards,

    Hi,
    You can run both sites on the same server. You should just set the site security on the intranet site to only allow access from internal IP addresses. But for security reason, it's not adviceable to do that.

  • SetDpmServer.exe (4.1.3465.0) on Windows Server 2012R2 (Azure VM) This app can't run on your PC: Access denied

    Hi,
    I've installed on a Windows Server 2012 R2 (Azure VM) the DPM agent 4.1.3465.0. This VM is not a domain member of my DPM 2012 SP1. So I ran the command
    SetDpmServer.exe -dpmServerName dpm.domain.com -isNonDomainServer -userName dpm -productionServerDnsSuffix
    domain.com
    Although I'm running the command prompt as Administrator I receive:
    This app can't run on your PC
    And in the command prompt I see: Access denied
    How can I tackle this?
    Thanks,
    John

    Hi John,
    Here are 2 things I would like to confirm.
    1. Please confirm if Protection Agents is installed on target computer before running the command line. 
    In following article it provides the command line which you are using now. However it mentioned to install Protection Agents manually on target server first:
    Installing Protection Agents on Computers in a Workgroup or Untrusted Domain
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff399479.aspx
    And please noticed the 2 community additions:
    1.  make double-click on DPMAgentInstaller_x64.exe without specify DPM server name
    2. follow the examples in this article:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff634193.aspx
    1). Enable NETBIOS over TCP/IP on BOTH DPM Server and proposed managed machine's WINS tab of NIC card properties sheet Local area connection status -----> Properties -----> Internet Protocol Version 4 -------> Properties ----> Advanced ----->
    WINS tab. Also assumes disable Windows Firewall OR create needed port openings.
    2). When using SetDpmServer.exe command also CRITICAL to use ONLY NETBIOS name of DPM Server and do NOT include [-productionServerDnsSuffix <DnsSuffix>] end command at username.
    Please remember to mark the replies as answers if they help and un-mark them if they provide no help. If you have feedback for TechNet Support, contact [email protected]

  • Can you run 7 and 6.5 at the same time?

    Since one of the key features I use is missing in version 7 (duration of a selection) I'm wondering if I can somehow run 6.5 along with V7 and, if so, how this would be done.
    Thanks!
    Rusty

    I use both (6.5.2 and 7.0.3) on my Mac mini.
    You can only have one "install" of QT on the machine but you can use the QuickTime Player from both versions at the same time.
    Version 6.5.2 will run "on top" of the version 7 "framework". You'll have all of the "old" menus when you use it. But you'll also have access to the new H.264 video codec.
    Find a copy of QuickTime Player (maybe a back up or a different machine) and place it on your Desktop.

  • Can I run Tiger and Leopard on the same computer

    Hi folks.
    I've been meaning to install Leopard for ages but have never got round to it (I bought the retail box when it first came out). I have upgraded my RAM to 2GB and my hard drive to 320GB with no problems.
    My upgraded hard drive has been partitioned into 2 equal parts of 160GB. These appear on desktop as Mackintosh HD1 and HD2. HD1 is the disk with all my files, music, OS etc and HD2 is empty
    I have 2 bootable clones of my present system - one is on a 160GB external and the other is the original 80GB HD that I replaced.
    My question is this - can I install Leopard on to my 160GB external HD, then clone it on to the empty HD2. If I do this would I be able to run both Tiger and Leopard on the same Macbook?
    Is there any problems with this plan? Would I be able to transfer between the 2 OS and how do I install Leopard on the external drive. Is it just a case of inserting the Leopard DVD and choose the external drive as the target?
    As usual thanks in advance
    Del

    # Original Tiger in the internal HD, New Leopard in the external HD.
    # New Leopard in the internal, Legacy cloned Tiger in the external.
    # Split internal, one partition with Tiger, another with Leopard.
    Leopard is backwardly compatible with older Macs, just make sure yours fulfills the minimum system requirements, both use the same filesystem format, so each can see the other. You can't run both at the same time, unless you purchase the server version of Leopard and run it virtualized. 99.9% of Firewire external HD's are bootable, some USB's are bootable but have to test first. You can choose which system to boot from by pressing the Option key at boot time, before the chime. Just make sure the external HDD is plugged in and turned on if that's where you want to boot from.
    When I migrated my PBG4 from Panther to Tiger, got an external FW HDD, cloned Panther onto it, upgraded using Archive and Install, cleaned up, customized and tested it. When I was satisfied all was ok, cloned the original Panther onto another partition of the external HDD, wiped and tested for failure the internal HDD, then cloned the known good and tested Tiger into it. Only thing that died along the way was my old and ancient Photoshop v2.x, that refused to run on Tiger.
