Can you put Mac OS X on a Windows PC

I was wondering becuase if you can put WINDOWS XP on a Mac, then can u it be the other way around?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Please read the license agreement that came with Mac OS X. It only allows you to install on an Apple Macintosh. If there was a method to install Mac OS X on an Intel PC like a Dell or HP, we couldn't tell you how on this board, as Terms of Use strictly prohibit potentially illegal discussion.
Furthermore, installing on a PC, you don't get the great software/hardware integration Apple has developed with its software (no other PC maker makes its own operating system), and Apple uses a different Boot ROM, that even Microsoft professes it won't have support for in Vista. Though some Virtualization solutions have managed to run the Vista betas on the new Intel Macs.
Any upgrades to Mac OS X may have further changes in drivers that the PC maker would not have anticipated, thus making any installation you try on a PC only temporarily work if at all.
Macs that can run XP start at only $600 new. And used and refurbished ones cost less. I've listed many of the possible solutions to run XP on a Mac here:

Can you put windows on a new macbook pro

can you put windows on a new macbook pro ? yes or no, which notebook can i put windows on if not the macbook pro?

WIndows 7 is the only Windows OS supported by the new Macs.
You usually use Boot Camp Assistant to partition the drive and install the Windows product on the Mac.
This creates a system where you boot into Mac OSX OR Windows.
see more at http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
There are programs such as Parallels or VMWare Fusion that can create a Virtual Machine within Mac OSX - giving you access to both Operating Systems at once. You may get slight performance issues as you would be essentially running two Operating Systems at once.

If you buy mountain lion, can you put it on both of your machines, or do you have to buy it for each?

If you buy Mountain Lion, can you put it on both of your machines or do you have to buy it for every device....?

You can use it on all the Macs you own. To save time downloading, after you DL it the first time,choose "Install Later". Then duplicate the "Install Mac OS X ML" in your Applications folder and save it off to disk. Then go back and double-click on "Install Mac OS X" in your Applications folder to begin the install.

Can you put Microsoft Office

Can you put Microsoft Office & Quickbooks on a mac

Yes, there is a version of MS Office for Macs.
But since you asked this in the iPhone forum I'll add that there is no version of Office for iOS devices. You'll have to use other apps that open, edit and allow transfer to the Mac or PC as Office files.

How many song can you put on your ipod with 16 gb

how many song can you put on a 16 gb ipod

With overhead for the software, the 16GB Nano has 14.88GB useable. I have 1,968 songs on mine, using 9.5GB, leaving 5.4 free. Assuming that all 1,968 songs are approximately the same length and size (which of course they aren't ), that would leave me room for ~1,118 more songs for a total of 3,086 songs.

Ibooks: how many books can you put in it

Hello,
I have an ipad 1 and since the latest update for ibooks, ibooks keeps loading my books (the wheel in the right corner keeps rolling).
I use the ipad also as storage for all my e-books (i have more than 3000 books). I know E-readers are getting slow if you put too many books on it, but I thought it wouldn't be a problem for an ipad, since there is much more memory and gb on then on an e-reader.
Does anybody knows if there is an limit on the amount of books you can load in ibooks? And if there is a limit, howmay books can you put on the ipad 1 without problems?
thanks

Unfortunately we must be the only ones with the problem so no hope for us friend unfortunately..
In my case, it's an Ipad 2 , 64G no 3G which worked great.. Now, i don't remember when latest iBooks was updated, but today i realised my iBooks kept on refreshing forever and not showing ANY books.. (((((
I also have many ebooks which is what's common in our cases.. Other than that, I tried everything, turning on off ipad, loading itunes and trying to throw some more books in there just in case, eventually deleting from ipad and installing again from itunes iBooks... NOTHING worked.. Unfortunately..
I'm VERY disappointed since my ipad cost me about 720 euros and the PRIMARY reason i got it was about reading e-books... (on a sidenote when i purchased it I was shocked to see iBooks was not even already bundled in - thought it was a joke)..
Hope someone from apple might read this and help us.. :////////////

Can you put the small DVD discs from a camcorder in the DVD slot of the iMac?

Stupid question...can you put the small DVDs from a camcorder in the DVD slot of the iMac?

That could be a challenge. If I am not mistaken that camera strictly records to DVD - RW and has no digital output connectors, is that right?
My only experience with a camera like that was a bad one. I was able to get the video off the disc using a tray-loading iMac but it was painfully slow.
iMovie (for example) is designed to work with camcorders such as those specified in this reference:
http://help.apple.com/imovie/cameras/en/index.html
I cannot find the DCR-DVD92 in that database
You might consider finding an external USB slot-loading DVD drive, but as I say my experience was painfully slow, and you might run into file format compatibility challenges.
I am sure it's possible but it won't be as easy as importing video from something like an iPad or iPhone. I still use a camcorder on occasion but it has a FireWire port. That's easy.

Can you put KM attributes in a office document?

Hello,
I have a question : "Can you put KM attributes such as a document version number automatically in a Office document"?
For iso documents it's needed to have a version counter in the word document itself. If the km version number could be copied into the document this would greatly reduce the number of errors.
Thanks,

Hi Frederik,
you would have to implement a repository service which subscribes to creation / modification of resources, then checks if the resource is an MSOffice document, and in this case modify this document again (this is also a trap, you would create a new version(!) and your RepService would get called again; without care, you will quite fast create an infinite loop..).
To set properties on a MSOffice document you could use http://jakarta.apache.org/poi - anyhow, as said, this sounds like not being very reasonable in the case when using versioning and / or approval services.
Hope it helps nevertheless

Can you put multiple projects together in iMovie?

I want to make a dvd that has several different iMovie projects on the dvd separated with Chapter markers. Can you put an existing project into another existing project in iMove and then mark the separation with Chapter markers? Then you can save it as one project and export it to iDVD.

A better way is to create different iMovie projects, then export them as Quicktime files (best quality), import those files into a new iMovie project, make them different chapters, then to iDVD.
