  • 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 you use logic express on a mac mini for recording

    Can i use logic exprees on a mac mini for recording? Ive seen alot of 8,12, and 16 track recorders with a cd burner and it seems like a logical and more productive gues for me to buy a macmini for the same thing of recording and then I can uses logic express, a far better program for recording. can the mac mini handle the load of processing tracks and how much ram should I uses? thanks tim

    sorry, I'd like to butt in here:
    I would like to do the same thing, so I am curious about this forum and rather than starting a new one, can I get some advice on this possibility:
    Mac Mini
    1.83GHz Intel Core Duo
    2GB 667 DDR2 SDRAM - 2x1GB
    80GB Serial ATA drive
    Glyph External HD 250 Gig
    Mackie Onyx 1620 w/Firewire
    Logic Pro 7.2
    thoughts?
    The most number of tracks I could see at once would be 16.
    Here is something I am most curious about...
    Firewire Hard drive
    Firewire Interface/mixer
    Firewire camera for FCP
    to much firewire?
    Please let me know if you have other thoughts aswell...

    thanks guys, this forum is fantastic!

  • Why can you run windows on a mac, but not mac on windows

    I dont understant why you can run windows on a mac, but not mac on windows.  Any help.  I would purchase OS X Mountain Lion if you gave me a way.

    Microsoft builds software to run on other companies' hardware, pretty much exclusively if you don't count the long line of failed devices: Zune, Windows phone, and now the Surface.
    Apple builds hardware. They support that hardware with their own operating system. It is designed to run only on their very tightly integrated hardware. Trying to write software for the plethora of crap being sold would be a failing proposition and would divert resources away from the great software they provide for their hardware customers.
    The hardware and software are very well engineered to provide the best possible experience.

    Yes,
    You can run Windows and a few programs at the same time as OS X in a window if your willing to take a performance penalty, no heavy duty 3D games or heavy CPU needs.

  • How can i run windows programs on my mac?

    i have a version of photoshop for windows, and i was wondering if it is possible to run that on my iMac. is there something i need to download?

    You have several options:
    1. Download and install Apple's Boot Camp which enables you to boot the computer either into Windows XP w/Service Pak 2 or OS X. This is a dual-boot solution.
    2. Purchase Parallels Desktop for Mac (www.parallels.com) which is virtualization software and enables you to run Windows (any version) simultaneously with OS X in a separate window.
    3. Purchase CodeWeavers' CrossOver (www.codeweavers.com) which enables you to run many Windows' applications without having to install Windows.
    All the above require you have an Intel Mac with at least 1 GB of installed RAM.

  • Can I use windows 7 on my Mac mini 2.1 with bootcamp?

    I have a Mac Mini 2.1 running OS 10.5.8, and an unspecified version of bootcamp. Currently using Windows XP. I want to upgrade to Windows 7. Can I do this? If so, do I need 32 bit version or 64 bit version?

    Just a heads up, you don't need to run bootcamp to install windows on a Mac (if you want it to be the primary OS)
    I have a Core 2 Duo Mac mini running Win7 x64 without any issues. I will check which model it is later.
    It has 5 USB, FW 800, and displayport + mini displayport (if that helps identify the model)

  • Can i run two monitors on a mac mini?

    I'm wondering if I can run a 5 year old cinema display and a cheap flat screen monitor on a mac mini. Someone at Apple said yes but someone at a Mac store said no.

    OK, I am a musician also and I just purchased a Mac Mini (late 2010 version).  So I can tell you with out a doubt that it has support for 2 monitors of any kind.  If your cinema display has the Apple ADC connector it is going to be tough. Some people use the displayport to dvi adaptor connected to a DVI to ADC adaptor and plug and claim to have it working. I have NO IDEA how it would.
    The MINI comes with this adaptor:

  • Can't run iMovie 08 on my mac mini

    I bought a mac mini OS X 10.4.11 recently (1.42 GHz PowerPC G4, 1GB, Intel processor, PowerMac 10.1, 167 MHz). I tried to load iMovie 08 but couldn't as I need 2GHz or a G5. Is it possible to upgrade this mac mini so I can run iMovie 08? Don't have alot of money to spend on a new Mac, so was hoping to upgrade. If so, how do I do this. Thanks.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Unfortunately, there is no practical way to upgrade a 1.42 G4 Mac mini to a specification sufficient to run iMovie 8 since iMovie 8 requires an Intel processor, or a G5 system running at least 1.9GHz.
    However, if you have tried to install iLife 08, you can download iMovie HD (the previous version of iMovie) which will install and run on that system. When you try and install the earlier iMovie after installing other iLife 08 components, it should search the system for a qualifying product and find sufficient of the iLife 08 software to install and run.
    iMovie HD is a little more complex and sophisticated than iMovie 08, but many users significantly prefer it.
    Oops, forgot: the iMovie HD download can be found at http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/imovieHD6.html

  • Can you use other disk drives on mac mini rather than the superdrive?

    I have just purchased a mac mini and am exploring the various options available to me regarding disk drives?
    Are you limited to just the Mac Superdrive or can you use other makes and models?
    i read somewhere that some drives will only let you install software and not let you Burn Music or play games?
    Is that correct.
