Can you TILE WINDOWS in OSX Tiger?

I don't mean like Expose, but like the feature in Windows that lets you tile all open windows horizontally or vertically depending on preference.
The point of this is that I want to see all open windows (across applications) while working in a specific program.
Windows allows me to do this with a click, does Mac?

HI, Terrabay.
There is no system-wide Tile function like you describe. Some applications support tiling of their windows, which would be under their Window menu. Whether or not tiling is supported is application-specific.
The "All Windows" Exposé shortcut — F9 by default — displays a spread of all open windows in all running apps, save those windows which have been minimized to the Dock, from which you can select a given window. See this KB search for all Exposé-related Help.
Good luck!

Can you tile windows from Javascript in CS3?

I have a javascript that will open 2 images in Photoshop from different directories based on a single filename, so that the users can view them side by side. They need this to be able to compare the colour correction from an automated process against the original image.
The trouble is that even though I can open the images, I cannot invoke the "window/arrange/tile vertically" menu item, as I can with InDesign.
Does anyone know of a neat trick to get around the missing tile vertically command within Javascript for Photoshop CS3.
(I've trawled the web and found that most answers are for 4 or more windows, where the images are pasted into one doc. But here I need to keep the windows separate.)

One way to do this in CS3 is with an action. Make a new action then stop recording. There should be no steps in the action. From the action panel's flyout menu choose insert menu item. Then choose the "window/arrange/tile vertically" menu item. You now have an action that you can call from a scipt to tile the two images.
Another way is to use Xbytor's doMenuItem function
// adatped from Xbytor's xtools stdlib.jx
doMenuItem = function(item, interactive) {
   var ref = new ActionReference();
   ref.putEnumerated(charIDToTypeID("Mn "), charIDToTypeID("MnIt"), item);
   var desc = new ActionDescriptor();
   desc.putReference(charIDToTypeID("null"), ref);
   try {
     var mode = (interactive != true ? DialogModes.NO : DialogModes.ALL);
     executeAction(stringIDToTypeID("select"), desc, mode);
   } catch (e) {
     if (!e.message.match("User cancelled")) {
       throw e;
     } else {
       return false;
   return true;
doMenuItem(stringIDToTypeID('tileVertically'));
Note newer version of Photoshop have a app method named runMenuItem that can be used instead of a custom function.

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.

A full, single-disc version of Windows 7 (Mac OS X v10.6 or later only), Windows Vista, Windows XP Home Edition or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later. Boot Camp does not include Windows. You must provide your own properly licensed installation disc. Important: A Windows XP installation disc must include Service Pack 2 (SP2). You cannot install an earlier version of Windows and upgrade to Windows XP, nor install an earlier version of Windows XP and update it to SP2. _*Media Center, OEM, and upgrade versions of Windows XP are not recommended*_.

Can you upgrade windows xp to windows 7, can you upgrade windows xp to windows 7

Can you upgrade windows xp to windows 7, even if you partioned your HD with windows xp?

And if that doesn't answer your questions, the answer is "yes, yes" -- but you'll have to do a clean install rather than an "upgrade". I believe you can only go from Vista-> 7, but double check that. You sure the hardware can handle the jump from XP to 7?
A quick expansion on that, they both can use the same or different filesystem formats (for instance, XP might use FAT32 or NTFS... whereas Win7 will most definitely want to use NTFS at least). Not to mention FAT32 would cap your usable hard drive capacity because of mathematical limits (so would NTFS eventually, but these days, with FAT32, you'd notice it.... unless they use some addressing extention mode -- no need to even talk about that).
One definite thing is they will use two different boot loaders. The old using NTLDR and the new using the BOOTMGR/GUID booting uhm... they're just two different mechanisms and monsters -- but you CAN run Windows XP and Windows 7 side by side within your "Windows" partition-- that is a possibility. So you'd literally have a dual booting dual boot machine, haha... Choose OS X or Windows, then have to choose XP or 7. Good luck, buahaha... don't end up in the wrong version of Windows... it could ruin your week! (Official "wrong version" #1 is Windows ME, second official "wrong version" is Windows Vista. I was made to use both at differing points. God help me, I think it left lasting damage).
You actually have a Mac and want to use Windows? Why? LOL. Let's trade. I'm using Windows 7 and would much prefer it be OS X! Actually I was cleaning all of these orphaned folders, DLL files, leftover temporary garbage files and registry keys left behind as a result of using a PC for any period of time... In fact, my virtualized OS X Snow Leopard runs faster being EMULATED than the actual host OS itself! Bass ackwards, that one!

Can an intel iMac run OSX Tiger from an external hard drive?

Hi can anyone please tell me if it is possible to run OSX Tiger from an external hard drive on an Intel iMac running OSX 10.5 Leopard or later?
Or is it possible to partition the intel iMac's hard drive and add Tiger?
At the moment I am running Tiger on a partitioned hard drive shared with OSX Leopard and wish to upgrade to an intel Mac. I need tiger to run some software not compatible with newer Macs and also to access OS9 Classic. Thanx for your help.

IF you upgraded from Panther as you know you do not have an Intel based iMac. I beleive the limit of your upgrades on your current machine is going to be Leopard. The system requirements for Snow Leopard are:
General requirements
Mac computer with an Intel processor
1GB of memory
5GB of available disk space
DVD drive for installation
Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply
This is straight from Apple so yes if you want to go beyond Leopard then you must purchase a new machine. My suggestion would be to begin replacing your legacy apps, you are extremely far behind and the longer you wait the more painful it will be to get current.
Good luck.

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 install Windows 7, then revert to a backup image of Vista with Rescue & Recovery?

I have a copy of 7 I want to put on my T61. I've partitioned the OS into one partion, and the files into another.
I've made backup copies of the OS with Rescue & Recovery already, so can I install Windows 7 over Vista, then if I find I don't want to stick with it, recover back to Vista?
T61 15.4" T9300 (2.5GHz 6MB L2) Windows 7 Professional x64 4GB Memory, NVidia Quadro NVS 140M

When you get to BOOTCAMP, that has to be changed from FAT to NTFS but you have to click Advanced Option.... button in order to change to NTFS.
The GPT error message can happen if you have more than one internal hard drive (say SSD and TB model).
If you didn't use Assistant, and some have managed, undo the partition.
Paragon CampTune $19 can also assist with installing Windows, creating the partition - but may not work with Lion, though you aren't there yet.
