Different OS X's installed at the same time

Is it possible to have different OS X's installed in different partitions at the same time?

Yes. Choose Utilities from the Finder's Go menu, use the Disk Utility to create as many partitions as you need, and install a different Mac OS X version onto each.

Hi, Niel!
Thanks for your answer. But it leads me to another question: in case of different OS's installed, would I be allowed to choose which one to start the machine? Besides, would I need to clone my personel files on each platform, or would I have access to the same one folder regardless the OS?

  • Why does mountain lion "bunch up" all my microsoft office documents that I have open when I hit f3? When I had snow leopard for example, if i had 4 or 5 different microsoft office documents open at the same time I could hit f3 and easily pick one of them

    Why does mountain lion "bunch up" all my microsoft office documents that I have open when I hit f3? When I had snow leopard for example, if i had 4 or 5 different microsoft office documents open at the same time I could hit f3 and easily pick one of them.
    Notice how in the photo, I can't identify which MS office document I would like to switch too. Perhaps since the Dashboard and Desktop windows are at the top of my screen now Apple doesn't let you have all the applications take up the full screen and be sized individually so that you can have a better idea on what to pick.
    I like the idea of grouping to an extent... If you have a bunch of random things it was hard for me to decifer between what was safari, chrome, or word. But now that they grouped them like this, if you have multiple pages of one program running, you can't switch between those pages easily like before.

    If I wanted to open any of my Applework documents I had to open them one at a time and resave them with pages. This could take weeks.I have 1000s of apple work documents.
    You don't have to open and re-save every AppleWorks document you have right now. Just wait till you need one, then do it. The documents aren't going anywhere.
    Am I dealing with Microsoft? This was a BIG surprise to me that Apple would release an OS without testing all programs.
    Frankly, it is not Apple's responsibility to ensure compatibiltiy with every piece of software available for OS X. That is the responsibility of the software vendor. Lion has been available to developers for several months before it's release, so Microtek had plenty of time to update their software. Yet they did not. How is that Apple's fault? I think Apple was very generous to give you a refund for Lion.
    I'm not trying to belittle your frustration but I do think your ire is misplaced.

  • Is there a way to view different portions of a document at the same time?

    No. I suggest you leave feedback for the Pages team regarding this. You can find it under the Pages menu > Provide Pages Feedback. That takes you to the same page as this link.

  • Two different streamings on two AppleTV at the same time?

    Hey guys, I'd like to buy a second Apple TV.
    First:
    Is it possible to stream different content on each AppleTV at the same time by using one computer with only one iTunes?
    Second:
    If the first question is answerred by "no", is it possible to stream the SAME content on the second AppleTV at the same time?
    Thx 4 helping out. By the way, sorry if my english sounds bad, but I am from Germany

    Yes that's possible, I do it all the time with multiple Apple TV's, it's worth mentioning though that the more streams you have running the better your network will need to be.
    Second:
    If the first question is answerred by "no", is it possible to stream the SAME content on the second AppleTV at the same time?
    The first answer is yes but to answer this one too:
    Yes its possible to stream the same content to both Apple TV's at the same time. Although it's worth mentioning that at the same time means at very nearly the same time, I wouldn't want to imply the streams would be in sync. Basically you could start a movie from one Apple TV then go to the second one and start the same (or indeed a different) movie.

  • IMovie v6.0.3 and iMovie 08 install at the same time?

    Can I have 2 version of iMovie installed at the same time? I want to view and maybe use the new version (in iLive08), but everything I have heard about it is not good. I'd like the option to keep the version 6.0.3.
    Thanks

    I don't have iLife 08 but AFAIK unlike earlier versions it doesn't overwrite iMovie 1-6.
    And besides, if you copied & renamed earlier versions before installing iMovie 1-6, the old version co-existed very nicely with the new version. For example: you want to keep iMovie 4 before installing iMovie 5-6: duplicate iMovie, rename the duplicate as iMovie 4.0.1, install iMovie 5-6 -> voila: you have iMovie 4.0.1 and iMovie HD (5-6).
    Some people have almost all iMovie versions in their Applications folder for testing purposes

    I have been using final cut express for years and now want to switch to final cut studio 3. do I have to remove final cut express before installing final cut studio 3 or can I have them both installed at the same time on one computer?

    You can have them both on the same computer as I and many others have done for years.
    Just go ahead and install FCS 3 normally.
    There will be absolutely no problems.

  • Having two oracle clients installed at the same time

    Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to have two oracle clients installed at the same time on one computer, and if there is a way to be changing the default client between the two. I need to have installed the oracle client 10g and 8 versions on the same computer, because we have a problem with a legacy application that for some reason only works with version 8, and we need the 10g because our new applications requires 8.1 or later. We are still migrating to the new system but we developers need to have the two clients. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Is it possible, sure.
    Technically, clients before 8.1.5 were not multi-home compliant, so having Oracle 8 and Oracle 10g clients on the same machine is almost certainly not supported. On the other hand, I know that a number of developers at Oracle had combinations of Oracle 7 clients Oracle 8 clients, Oracle 8i clients, and Oracle 9i clients on their development machines at the same, so you shouldn't have too many major issues.
    Most "default client" issues come down to which ORACLE_HOME is first in the system's PATH. Ideally, you would leave the Oracle 8 ORACLE_HOME first in the path and explicitly reference the 10g ORACLE_HOME when configuring anything that relies on the 10g client.

  • How do I open multiple Firefox home pages? I want all of my different Firefox email accounts open at the same time. I recently upgraded to Win7 and now I have to close and open Firefox to access another email acount!

    I want 3 separate, distinct Firefox home pages for each of my 3 email accounts to be open at the same time.

    Questions are typically followed by a question mark. My answer answered your question.
    Firefox doesn't do email, so there are no "Firefox email accounts". If you are accessing "email" with Firefox, you are using web mail. Some web mail services don't allow for direct access, they want their users to access their email from a "portal" or "main" page and will re-direct any attempt to load an "internal" web site page back to the main page.
    As far as loading 3 different web mail accounts at the same time, if they are in the same domain it won't work on Firefox without a Firefox addon. http://br.mozdev.org/multifox/
    IOW, if those three email accounts all with Yahoo, without that add-on you would have to logon to each email account separately and log out of the first before logging into the 2nd. Then log out of the 2nd before logging into the 3rd. Firefox isn't capable of having multiple session cookies for simultaneous logon's to the same server. That add-on provides that "multiple sessions cookies" feature.

  • Can Premiere elements 7 and 8 be install at the same time?

    I currently have 7 installed, can I install the 8 trial without unistalling or breaking 7?

    Yes. You can have them both on the same computer -- though you shouldn't run them both at the same time.

  • Can TWO different Zen Micros be installed on the same computer w/o confli

    I have a Zen Micro 5G, and would like to buy a Zen Micro Photo 8G as well. Does anyone know if there will be conflicts to install the software (firmware?) on the SAME computer? I had conflicts when I tried to install two different Palm Pilots on the same computer - the software of the first Palm no longer worked properly. Perhaps the new one "overrides" the first? I don't know if this might happen with the Zen Micro and Micro Photo.
    Also, does anyone know if the Micro Photo fits into the Zen Micro Traveldock?
    Thanks so much for any insight you can offer!

    I don't think they will conflict because if you use mediasource, you can have different music libraries etc...
    I believe the microphoto fits the traveldock, but don't hold me to it

  • Same songs from different albums won't download at the same time

    Hi Guys I need your help. So i purchased some albums, Some of them have the same songs, and I want those songs to appear on both albums they're in, but it wont. When the song is downloaded on Album 1, it would disappear from album 2. For example, i purchased an EP and then the deluxe version of it later on., the songs i already have from EP, would no longer download to appear in the deluxe version.. Can I do  something about it so I can have the complete copy of each album I purchased?

    Historically, I've always kept prior versions installed because sometimes, albeit infrequently, I need to access extensions that aren't compatible with the newer versions of CS. Since I can run DW & Fireworks CS4 together, I'm inclined to leave them installed.
    I've thought about uninstalling CS 5, but I don't think that would resolved my issue. I've already tried most of what's in the Adobe troubleshooting suggestions save for creating a new administrator account.
    I think I'll hobble along with my current workarounds since I'll be migrating to a new computer very soon, which should acomplish what creating a new administrator account would. I'll probably limit the reinstall to CS 6 to eliminate any issues that might be related to having multiple versions installed, which in reality shouldn't be an issue because again, I've always done that successfully in the past.
    Thanks for the suggestion just the same.

  • Back up Mac Server with Time Machine Server installed on the same Time Machine Server

    I want to back up several Workstations (“Workstations 1-4” in diagram below) and a Mac OS X Server (“MacMini Server” in diagram below) that runs “Time Machine Server” on that same “Time Machine Server.”
    Is this possible?
    The MacMini server doesn’t seem to find the “Time Machine Server” for backups. I read that this is due to the fact that Time Machine backups via network are organized in another way than “normal” Time Machine backups are.
    MacOS server is running MacOS 10.8.5 with server app v2.2.1(169)-
    workstations are running 10.10.1, 10.9.5 and 10.8.4

    The Time Capsule and Time Machine will automatically keep backups for each Mac separate.
    A user on one Mac will not be able to "see" the backups of the other Mac.
    You can add a few more Macs if you wish. 4 or 5 Macs would probably be a practical limit, depending on the size of the hard drive in the Time Capsule.

  • Can Photoshop elements 7 and 8 be install at the same time?

    I currently have 7 installed, can I install 8 trial without uninstalling or breaking 7?

    Yes, different versions of PSE can coexist peacefully. Just be sure to run one version at a time. Also, if you use the Organizer, beware that changes you make to the PSE 8 catalog won't be visible in the PSE 7 catalog and vice versa.
