Can I run Windows Office 365 through VM Fusion on my Macbook Pro?

I need to utilize an Outlook 2013 for Windows feature not available on the Mac 2011 version. Specifically, I need to download messages from Dropbox and open and save them with attachment in native .msg format.
Has anyone had any experience running Windows Office 365 (on Windows 7 or 8) through VM Fusion?  Potential client is very specific about this feature and it's a non-negotiable.
Thanks, Suzanne

I use Office 2012 running Windows 7 Pro under Parallels, so I'n GUESSING that it would work just fine under VM Fusion.
I've encountered no problems whilst running Windows or any Windows-only apps under Parallels. The same should apply under VM Ware as well.
Good luck,
Clinton

  • Can I run OS 10.6.4 on my brand new MacBook Pro?

    I am a professional photographer and one of the programs I need in order to do my job is some software from Nikon that apparently will not run on Lion, OS 10.7.3.  Documentation says that it can run on OS 10.6.4, Snow Leopard.
    Can I run OS 10.6, Snow Leopard on my brand new MacBook Pro, 2.8Ghz, Intel Core i7 machine?

    You cannot install any of them. As I said earlier your only options are 10.6.6 through 10.6.8 none of which are on a retail DVD.
    If you have access to a Mac that runs 10.6.4, then you can put a small system on a 16 GB USB flash drive, boot from it then upgrade the system to 10.6.8. Now, see if you can boot your new computer with it. If so, then create a small partition on your new computer's hard drive large enough for the Snow Leopard system and whatever applications you need to use. Clone the USB flash drive to this partition using the Restore option of Disk Utility:
    Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
    Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
    Select the destination volume from the left side list.
    Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    Check the box labeled Erase destination.
    Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
    Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the new partion on the internal drive. Source means the USB flash drive.

  • Is there any possible way I can dual boot Windows with OSX 10.7.2 on a MacBook Pro 15' from 2006?

    Hello,
    I am new to this forums.
    I have searched about dual boot win/mac, but couldn't find a clear answer, so I decided to post this now.
    I run a MacBook Pro 15' from 2006 (Intel based) and have upgraded it to OSX 10.7.2 Lion.
    I have tried to install windows 7 on a small (20GB) partition by using Bootcamp, but then I've received a notice saying that there was no windows support software available. However, I did install Windows 7 Professional by unchecking that box. After the installation I have downloaded the windows support software and tried to install it but then I've received a notice saying that I can't install it on this machine.
    Could you please give me any suggestions on how to dual boot win/mac, if it is possible at all using this machine? And how to safely go back to where I was before (with a single mac OSX 10.7.2 partition)?
    Thanks.

    This problem has been solved as I just needed to download Boot Camp 4.
    Can I delete this post?

  • How can I share MS Office products with all Users on my Macbook Pro?

    The other 3 user accounts on my Mac Pro do NOT have access to Word, Excel, etc. How can I "share" these Applications? They don't show up in my admin user's 'Applications'. I'm new to the Mac (love it so far) and I don't know how to do some basic things yet. Thanks in advance

    Duh. In Applications for the other Users I saw the folder 'MS Office 2004'.

  • Found error while Deploying office 365 through SCCM.

    Hello Experts,
    We are currently working to deploy office 365 through SCCM but on client system it failed to installed.
    found error in AppEnforce.log file.
    Please help to resolved the error.

    ConfigMgr is doing it's job and trying to install the application. However the installation times out after an hour.
    See:
    Waiting for process 5820 to finish.
    That would suggest to me that there is something wrong with your installation parameters. The installation is probably not fully silent and is awaiting user input (that you cannot see).
    Narcoticoo's advice is good. Try to install the app silently manually. Until you can do this successfully ConfigMgr will not be able to deploy it.

    According to the specs for your HP Pavilion a450n Desktop Computer, this model use an Intel Pentium 4 and is almost 10 years old. Please run the Windows 8 Upgrade Assistant or  Windows 8.1 Upgrade Assistant to see if your computer is compatible with Windows 8 / 8.1
    I tend to think your computer doesn't support some of the needed technologies to run Windows 8 / 8.1

  • Can I run Windows 8.1 using VirtualBox on my Macbook?

    The system requirements for Windows 8.1 says that it needs "Microsoft DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM driver".  Can I run Windows 8.1 using VirtualBox on my Macbook? It's a late 2009 model with an NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB graphics card & 2 GB of RAM. (Do I need more RAM?)
    Thanks!

    While I can't answer to the BootCamp specification, I can state the use of Windows and Mac OS X in the MacBook will invite a need to upgrade the RAM; likely to the max it can use. Matching RAM of quality specs so the system will work. The specs are important, as details are everything.
    You'd likely use Boot Camp to make a partition on the internal HDD, but then the overall capacity for Mac OS X could be compromised. When you remove a partition, you'd use BootCamp again, or you'd have to erase content in order to restore to original capacity. Disk Utility generally has a harder time with a BootCamp partition.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • On the mac mini 2011 how can I run windows 7 without the optical drive, On the mac mini 2011 how can I run windows 7 without the optical drive

    On the mac mini 2011 how can I run windows 7pm bootcamp without an optical drive.  I watch lots of football on sop cast and other such windows based programmes but can't work out how to do it.

    Actually Windows can be installed and booted from an external drive if the drive is connected eSATA (external SATA), since the drive is treated as if it's an internal HDD. I used the same method previously to dual-boot from 2 different HDD instead of partitioning.
    Most PC motherboards come with them as standard so it's pretty much plug and play but I don't recall seeing a recent Mac with eSATA connectivity though, so that might not be an option for you.

  • HT1846 The 2012 Mac Mini's are listed on this article. Can I run windows 7 64-bit on it and/or the 32-bit?

    The 2012 Mac Mini's are listed on this article. Can I run windows 7 64-bit on it and/or the 32-bit?

    I would buy nothing less than Windows 7 64-bit Pro.
    32-bit only addresses 3.5 GB RAM ... 2012 Macminis can hold 16 GB.
    64-bit Home addresses 16 GB RAM.
    64-bit Pro addresses 192 GB RAM and han an XP mode.
    This is all about having a good version of Windows for future use.  Yu can buy "Syem Builder" version of 64-bit Pro for $140.

  • Mid-2009 MBP, 2.8Ghz Core 2 Duo, 4GB memory, NVIDIA GeForce 9600 512 MB can't run Windows 8?

    I  have a 17"  mid-2009 MacBook Pro with a 2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB memory, NVIDIA GeForce 9600M
    GT 512MB.  Recently upgraded to OS X MAvericks 10.9.4.  I wish to run 3DS MAx Design using Boot CAmp. 
    The Boot Camp Assistant, downloading the Windows installers says my system can only run Windows 7.  [The newly-opened Windows 8.1 disc is right here.]  Can this be right?  Might you please identify the weak point?  Should I upgrade?  Is the memory the reason?  Is the assistant wrong?  What should I do.
    Using 3ds max, would it be wise to upgrade the memory in any case.  When the correct Windows softyware is determined and installed,  how large should I set the partition.  Thank you for helping me.

    Thanks, Kappy.  Please, I'd read those system requirements before; I still don't understand where my system falls short.  Both 7 and 8 stipulate a 1GHz processor.  Graphics card I don't know the difference.  So it's memory- I have insufficient accesible memory?  If my purpose is to manipulate highly featured images, should I upgrade memory in any case.  Does it make much difference whether it's 7 or 8?  Some places I know my footing.  Here, not.  Step by step.  Thanks!

  • Can you run windows 7 as vmware on mac or ipad

    Can I run windows 7 on my Mac or use a iPad and use VMware on them.

    You can run Windows on your Mac, but not on an iPad.
    Windows on Intel Macs
    There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
         1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software.  Purchase Windows
             XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7.  For Boot Camp
             4.0 and above you can only use Windows 7 or later. Follow
             instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on
             installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and
             installing Windows.  Boot Camp enables you to boot the
             computer into OS X or Windows.
         2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business,
             Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  Parallels is software
             virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently
             with OS X.
         3. VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate,
             or Windows 7.  VM Fusion is software virtualization that
             enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
         4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows
             applications without having to install Windows.  The
             Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
         5. VirtualBox is an Open Source freeware virtual machine such
             as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.
             It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM
             Fusion.
    Note that VirtualBox, Parallels, and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc.  There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization.  The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
    You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

  • Can i run windows in the background?

    hi there
    i have recently purchased a macbook pro 13" and i know that it is possible to split the hard disk to be able to install windows OS, but i was wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to leave windows running in the background and switch back to OSX?
    the reason i want to try and do this is because i have a USB device for my fish tank that monitors several peramitors and uploads them to an online account so i can see what is going on in my fish tank, however it needs a local piece of software for it to be able to do this and at the minute this is only available for windows hence my question, im hoping i can get around it by spliting my mac in this way but it needs to be able to run in the background as a parralel system.
    any help would be great.

    Hey,
    You can buy Virtual Machine apps such as VMware Fusion and Parallels Desktop for Mac and these will let you run Windows as a Virtual Machine (on top of Mac OS X). You can then run Windows programs as well as Mac ones.
    If you need any more help, please ask
