Can i use parallels and windows 7 on my iMac

What is the best version of Windows to use with Parallels 7 on my iMac? I am looking into 64-bit Windows 7 or XP. But I don't know which is best suited.....

Doesn't matter, Win 7 is the newer, more secure and better one, XP is 10 years old and being discontinued.

Setup Assistant and Migration Assistant do not restore MS Windows, it only does the OS X partition. All of your Windows stuff must be backed up and restore using a MS Windows application. If no one on this forum is able to answer your question then I'd repost it on a Parallels forum to see how other Windows users approach this.

How can you use symbols in Windows 7 on a IMac 27

How can you use symbols @$€%£¥ in Windows 7 on a IMac 27 mid 2011? I tried what was normally done on Windows and got nothing. Alt plus numbers and nothing happens, what am I missing?

Frosted Flake,
Are you referring to an equivalent to the Windows Character Map Application (charmap.exe) that allowed you to see the various characters available in each font, and then give you an ALT-nnn number you could key to use the character you wanted ?
If so you can use the Special Characters from the Edit menu of most applications. Once you have located the character/symbol you want double click it and it will be entered wherever you cursor is located in your application.

Hope this helps

Can I use a USB Windows Keyboard w/my iMac while running Windows in Paralle

I have an iMac with Parallels and Windows 7. There's this one DOS program that I have to use for work, and it requires use of the function keys on a Windows keyboard. I know I can remap the keys on the bluetooth keyboard that came with my iMac, but just for simplicity, can I just go buy a USB Windows keyboard and expect that the function keys will work with this program?
I don't know if the fact that OSX is running behind the scenes might prevent the function keys from being passed along to Windows and the DOS program.
Thanks!

VM will often 'disable' and not function with keyboard function keys as they would normally running Windows natively.
That was one of my reasons for abandoning Fusion. All I could have and use was a "generic" keyboard and mouse, when the MS drivers in Windows I would have a lot of really handy useful keys for doing things.
And I use MS keyboards for years, in OS X and then in Windows.

Can I use parallel and multiplexed mode?

Hi,
I have
a NI USB-6259 DAQ Module (Two Connectors with to Cables to two SCXI-1349, which connects the DAQ to the Chassis)
a SCXI-1001 Chassis
3 SCXI-1143 8 Channel Low Pass Filter Modules
and
a SCXI-1180 Front End Plate
As the DAQ has 16 diff. AI Channels, I would like to drive two SCXI 1143 in multiplexed mode(connected to Connector 0 at USB-DAQ via SCXI 1349) and one in parallel mode assigned to AI 8-15 (Connected to Connector 1 at USB-DAQ via SCXI 1349) .
The configuration is approved by MAX
But when I run it with the software I get an error saying that a simultaneous scan is possible Error -223835. And that the selected channel is not in the task Error: -200486.
Can one DAQ device(like NI USB-6259) be assigned with Channels 0-7 in multiplexed mode (multiplexing two SCXI 1143 8 Channel) and the rest of the channels in parallel mode for on SCXI card? NI-USB 6259 has to separate connectors but is it still seen as one DAQ card?
What does the error say? I thought I configured for a simultaneous scan.
Attached to this post is a picture:
Top Left: Back view of my NI USB-6259
Top Right: Front view of my chassis with three SCXI 1143
Bottom: Back view of my chassis. Two SCXI 1249 are connected to two Cards. One card should be run in parallel mode, two in multiplexed mode.
Cheers,
Alex
Solved!
Go to Solution.

@ Lorenz-Mie
you are right that I need a new DAQ device, but as stated in the M-Series manual on page A-108:
"Use Connector 0 of your M Series device to control SCXI. NI-DAQ 7.4
and later supports SCXI in parallel mode on Connector 1."
Thats what I've done. I'll keep on trying.

Can I use Mac and Windows interchangeable with Creative Cloud?

I'm pondering getting a creative cloud membership. As I work on windows and mac, it would be great if I could work off a mac at home one day then work off a windows pc at work the next. Does creative cloud allow me to do this?

Hi Mx,
With creative cloud , you get the option to install the product on a windows and Macintosh both . Also , one single license can be installed on upto two machines as well .

Can I use safari and google chrome on my iMac?

Is it possible to use two browsers, i.e. Safari as is and add Google Chrome as well and choose which one I want to use for different activiity?

It is better to have two browsers installed.
I use Safari as main browser and Firefox as backup.
Best.

Can login to Xmarks on Mac, 10.6.4, no problem, but running parallels and windows XP and Firefox on that, I can't login to Xmarks since it won't accept my password, and I'm asking who to contact to fix this problem with Xmarks?

If the question had been asked before, I would have read the answer. Can you make this support any more useless?
I'm trying to run Firefox on a Mac with Parallels and Windows XP. I can use Firefox, that's fine, what I can't do is sync my bookmarks. They are all synced on both macs, and my old PC, a really slow Dell L110, thus trying to use Parellels. Is there any way to contact someone who can look at why my log in to Xmarks won't work on Parallels? Or if there is a support page somewhere where one can actually get some answers, please let me know. Thanks, Rob Rand

Same issue - however firefox will open but I can not click on only of my tool bar shortcuts - the writing on the google age is greyed out so I can not click on anything. Still no resolution? I have deleted the folders and re-installed - it will open and then locks and it will not work????

Help, I installed parallel and windows, and opened videos (on an external hard disk) with windows, and now cannot open them with Mac, and use i movies. How do I reverse this?

Paragraphs help the reader, just saying.
What are you actually trying to do? Why do you need "DVD size" folders if you're creatng an Archive on an external hard drive?
Also, I understand burning folders instead of individual photos or albums gives you more space on a DVD.
It makes no difference at all.
How can I keep the captions on my photos (not events) when I print or transfer to a new folder?
You can export while writing the metadata to the file in most cases.
Tne only way I know is to copy photos from the Windows to folders on my HD, then copy and paste photos or albums or events to HD, then create a new folder and fill it to the appropriate DVD size.
HD? Another HD? You use HD there in a way that makes no sense. What's the point of 'DVD size'?
I also thought I should download future photos to my Canon programming that comes with EOS cameras and edit and then decide which photos to save to iPhoto library and which to save only to my archival HD?
Does this have any relation to the previous questions? You know you can delete from iPhoto, right?
You're somewhat confused and you need to
1. Decide what exactly you want to do
2. Then go about it.
If I understand you correctly - and there's no guarantee that I do - the easiest thing is to bring all your Photos into iPhoto and do everything from there.
You can have an archive on an external disk, you can sort and select and edit with or via iPhoto

I have an iMac which I had loaded Parallels and Windows 7. I recently uninstalled both programs. How can I delete all related files? Is there a program that will find related files and delete them?

I have an iMac on which I had installed Parallels and Windows 7 so I could some of the creativity software I was used to. I recently uninstalled both Parallels and Windows. How can I clean up my hard drive by making sure stray files from those programs have all been deleted?

If you followed these steps to uninstall Parallels (you simply drag Parallels to the Trash), that's all. Parallels is a quite clean application that does not create a lot of files in different folders.
However, you may still have the virtual machines you created in Documents folder. If you want to remove them, open a Finder window, select Documents in the sidebar and remove the Parallels folder

If i download windows with bootcamp does that mean i can still use Macintosh and if so how

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If you installed Windows properly, you can still start in OS X and use it whenever you want. However, Boot Camp changes the startup partition to Windows, so you may note that you can't use Mac OS X.
There are two ways of starting in OS X:
1. Hold the Option (Alt) key while your computer is starting until you see all the bootable partitions in the screen, and choose your OS X partition.
2. Hold the X key while your computer is starting.
If you have a iMac or a Bluetooth keyboard, make sure you hold the key after hearing the startup chime.
If you want to start in OS X by default, after starting in OS X, open System Preferences > Startup Disk, and choose the OS X partition

Using parallels for windows xp on my macbook

Hello. I want to take online GIS classes from ERSI this winter and am thinking about buying parallels to run their software (which is only supported by windows xp or vista). I am basically pretty computer illiterate and am not really sure about the most cost efficient way of setting this up. I know I have to buy parallels (or bootcamp, which is better for this case?), then buy the windows software, then install and hope for no hiccups the GIS training software (which is not supported by the ERSI online team when run on a mac). Has anybody gone through this specific or related procedure before and what kind of results did you have? Is my plan sound? With my tiger operating system do I still have to buy bootcamp, is that better to use than parallels? I don't have any other plans to use windows except maybe to send photos through my hotmail account. I will greatly appreciate any advice and/or direction you can provide. Thank you,
Dave

Hi,
I use Parallels with Windows XP and it runs just fine. I need Windows for one application that is not any where to be found for Macintosh. Follow the Parallels directions for installation and you should have any problems. To use Bootcamp you would need to be running Leopard.

Setting up a small business network using mac and windows pcs

Setting up a small business network using mac and windows??

Ok that sounds great. What is your actual question as it relates to AirPort networking? Is it: Can I set up a wired/wireless network with an AirPort base station that support multiple Mac & PC clients? If so the answer is yes.
If, instead, it is how to I configure an AirPort network to support a small business you will have to provide more details on both your networking & computing equipment in order for any of us to help you.

No. Return it and get your money back if still within the 30 day return window. All US iPhones are carrier locked and cannot be officially unlocked.
