Does Partition with Windows function exactly like a PC?

Ok- I need some advice-
I have a program that also has a part of it that involves a device connected via USB.
The Company says that it is not compatible with a Mac and that even using parallels or partition won't help.
So, I have been debating about getting a pc laptop, but I already have a Pro and an Air -
Today I did try the program on Parallels, and it did not work smoothly or well using Parallels-
So, do I try it by Bootcamp/partitioning off a part of my Pro or Air and getting a copy of Windows 8.1?
or, just take it that this program doesn't function as well on a Mac and get the extra pc laptop?
That is my main question - they have printed out all over their website that it is not compatible with the MAC,
and a part of me wonders, if the bootcamp/partition for Windows would work out or not? It would be less
costly than buying the extra pc laptop.
Also, is it better to use my Air (2011)  or my Pro (2014) for the partition?
Thanks for any advice

it works just like a normal windows pc
back when vista was released computerworld tested it on various laptops and it ran the fastest on a macbook pro which was a bit ironic

  • After the installation of Lion I don't see the partition with Windows 7. The solution?

    After the installation of Lion I don't see the partition with Windows 7. The solution?

    Let's be real clear here -- are you saying you are using Internet Explorer and when you try and download Mozilla Firefox it gets around 75% through and shuts down?
    If so there is something wrong with your computer -- or at least IE. I rarely, if ever, recommend this, but it might be time to reformat your hard drive and reinstall your OS (if you are even thinking about doing this the first thing you must do is back up all your data files, preferably to writable media like DVDR or CDR).
    If you have a friend with a computer perhaps you can get them to download both the latest iTunes as well as (more importantly) the latest firmware updater, and then install them on your machine (they can write them to their own CD).
    The other thing that occurs to me is you might not be logged in as admin on that computer -- make sure you are doing this and are the only user.
    Otherwise my brain is fuzzy right now -- perhaps someone else can jump in after you reply (I'm right in the middle of packing for a cross country move and only able to spend about five minutes a day on this board).

  • "SCR24 style lid with window function".And only one adaptor for DK48

    I recently purchased the product "SCR24 style lid with window function". The contents of the box is the adapter for the "dock" DK48, the problem that I find is that I have two DK48 and only one adapter. Is official that the Sony's answer is:" every time you want to charge, remove from the dock and put on the other. There is no spare part, cant purchase it separately"?.

    I've searched the places I use for parts and cases etc but no adaptors - The only thing I can think of doing is to buy a magnetic charging cable and use that

  • How do I create a Boot Camp partition with Windows & blank NTFS partitions?

    I'm trying to create this kind of setup:
    OS X partition
    Windows 7 partition
    blank NTFS partition (no OS)
    blank NTFS partition (no OS)
    This would be much easier if I created just the OS X partition and the Windows 7 partition with the Boot Camp Assistant tool (done this many times before successfully on other computers). The problem begins when I try to split the Boot Camp partition through the Windows 7 DVD partition manager during setup by deleting the Boot Camp partition, and recreating three partitions from the unallocated space. After installing Windows 7 on one of those new three partitions, I'm getting all kinds of startup errors when I try to install the Boot Camp drivers.
    What would the best way to achieve this setup?

    Yes, I researched many options for three partition dual boot set ups. After many trials and tribulations, there is a simple method that I have used on multiple MBPs.
    1. Run Boot Camp Assistant, as per the Boot Camp Installation and Setup Guide. Once you have Mac OS X and Windows 7 set up, check the partitions and back them up (with Time Machine, and Winclone).
    2. Get iPartition, and resize the Mac and Windows partitions to what you want, say 100GB each, and set up your other partitions to the size you want. I put mine "after" the Windows partition, at the end of the disk, and have had no problems. It takes a few minutes to create the bootable CD for iPartition, but you get everything you need to do so from Coriolis Systems. You will need your Mac OS X installl disc.
    3. Install Paragon's HFS+ for Windows and NTFS for Mac, and everybody can read and write everything.
    4. I have both Time Machine and Norton 360 back up the Data partitions, just in case -- to an external drive, of course.
    You can boot to either OS and access any partition.

    Typicaly, devices liek this are loaded witht he production software at the time that they are manufactured. If you buy a unit built before the release of IOS6, you will have IOS5. Once the evice has been boxed up, it won't be touched before sale.
    If you buy the iPhone from an Apple store, you can ask them to help with the IOS6 install.
    But I have a question for you. Why do you say that "ios6 built with iphone when we buy it better than the uodated one" ? It may be easier to not have to do the install but why better?

  • Help with Window Functions

    Hi all,
    I need some help in getting rid of a very slow cursor operation. 
    I have three tables:
    1. Consignments
    2. Labels
    3. ConsignmentReferences
    Labels table has a foreign key to Consignments. ConsginmentReferences also has a foreign key to Consginments. 
    I need to 'manufacture' a relationship between ConsgnmentReferences and the Labels table. Probably best shown with some example data:
    Note: my solution must work on SQL 2008R2 which does not support SUM OVER ORDER BY
    USE tempdb;
    CREATE TABLE Consignments (
    ConsignmentID Int Primary Key
    GO
    CREATE TABLE Labels (
    LabelID BigInt Identity Primary Key,
    LabelNo varchar (20),
    SequenceNo Int,
    ConsignmentID Int Foreign Key References Consignments (ConsignmentID)
    GO
    CREATE TABLE ConsignmentReferences (
    ConsignmentReferenceID Int Identity,
    ConsignmentID Int Foreign Key References Consignments (ConsignmentID),
    NumberOfItems Int,
    SequenceNo Int)
    GO
    /* INSERT THREE CONSIGNMENTS */
    INSERT INTO Consignments

    INSERT INTO Labels
    VALUES ('Label6', 6, 1);
    /* INSERT THREE REFERENCE LINES
    Note: Reference line 2 has no items, therefore, freight labels will not be 'allocated' to this reference line
    INSERT INTO ConsignmentReferences

    VALUES (1, 0, 2);
    INSERT INTO ConsignmentReferences

    SELECT L.*

    JOIN Labels L ON C.ConsignmentID = L.ConsignmentID;
    SELECT CR.*

    DROP TABLE Labels;
    GO
    IF OBJECT_ID('Consignments', 'U') IS NOT NULL
    DROP TABLE Consignments;
    GO
    For each consignment reference I need to  x labels, where x is the ConsignmentReference's NumberOfItems.
    For example, if Consignment Reference line 1 has NumberOfItems = 3, then the first three Labels are assigned to ConsignmentReference line 1. 
    Here is the desired output:
    ConsignmentID
    Label Number
    Consignment Reference Sequence Number

    >> I need some help in getting rid of a very slow cursor operation. <<
    No you have a bad design.  So bad I cannot use it in a book because nobody would believe it! You used IDENTITY, everything is NULL-able, properly designed identifiers would be fixed length,  etc – in short garbage data! 
    There is no such crap as a “sequence_nbr” in a valid data model, we can have a “<something>_seq” but NEVER that stupid generic! Why do you not know basics? 
    A count is a property of a set (duh!)
    CREATE TABLE Consignments
    (consignment_id INTEGER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
     item_cnt INTEGER NOT NULL -
    – WRONG!!!!!!
      CHECK (item_cnt > 0));
    But a count is computed from a set! (table)
    CREATE TABLE Labels 
    (label_nbr CHAR (20) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
     consignment_id INTEGER NOT NULL 
     REFERENCES Consignments (consignment_id)
      ON DELETE UPDATE);
    REFERENCES has a precise meaning in RDBMS. Your silly Consignment_References makes no sense. 
    You did not even know the INSERTION statement syntax! 
    /* insert three consignments */
    INSERT INTO Consignments 
    VALUES (1), (2), (3) ;
    Would you like to try again? You might be able to get help that would cost you $$$$ if you had to pay for it :)

  • CREATING A LIST PARTITION WITH TO_CHAR FUNCTION

    i want to create a list partitions based on months like 1..12 so that data will go to its respective month partition irrespective of Month and year. i don't have a varchar2 field for month only rather i have got the insertion date column. can anybody tell me how can i create a list partitioned table by using the to_char(date_column,'MON') function.

    Range partition means every month one new partition if i go for month wise partition. So, thats final right we cannot use any function to create any list partitions??

  • After partitioning with Windows CD in drive, MBP restarts and doesn't go to the Windows Installer. Just restarts Lion again.

    I've put the disk in yet the restart doesn't go to the Windows installer.

    Try holding 'c' on startup or Option key - does the DVD show in EFI boot list?
    It is a DVD, Windows 7 won't fit on CD.
    And you aren't talking drivers, but the installer DVD, right?
    You bought physical DVD, No? then you burned downloaded ISO but need to reburn at slowest possible speed.

  • After I had upgraded to Mavericks I can't make a Windows partition with Windows XP.

    I'm trying to make a Windows partition. I have before but I recently had to have my computer re-formatted and all of it wiped. I have the Windows XP disk and everything and I've had it before, it was only after I upgraded to Mavericks it didn't work. It says I have to use a Windows 8 DVD or usb port which I don't have either of.

    You need to do that from Mac OS X 10.6.8 or earlier, or use a product such as VirtualBox, Parallels Desktop, or VMware Fusion instead.

  • Does the iphone internet works exactly like the one on the computer?

One last thing how long does it take for a page to load?
    <Edited By Host>

    The iPhone does not support Flash, nor does it support Java. You can only view videos encoded as h.264 (there's a YouTube app on the phone which accesses a special section of the YouTube library that's been recoded).

  • Lion and snow leopard bootcamp, after installing lion snow leopard bootcamp with windows 7 does not boot

    Just installed Lion OS  on my 2nd mac (on the 1st without an issue) but as I had a partition with windows 7 (installed with Snow Leopard bootcamp).
    It seems that Lion OS renamed the Bootcamp partition but I am not able to rename it through OS.
    Is there a solution for this or do I need to re-install?
    Many thanks for your help

    Hi Jack.........ok ive managed to create a link to that video on how to install bootcamp.....this is the tutorial i used and i managed to gain 100% completion on bootcamp 1st time no messing......like i said in my previous reply did you save the windows support files from apple....(Critical).....ok no point in messing about i suggest you start again from scratch........these are the things i used and YOU will need to complete bootcamp
    mem stick or cd-r / dvd-r......original copy disc of win 7 ...i never used an iso i used original disc....allow a minimum of 30gb of space for your win 7 partition.....if you want bootcamp so you can use big programs like windows based games i.e.....Crysis/Call of duty etc etc ..then you will need to consider that  you will need to allow a bigger partition to allow your HD to store the files.....this is the reason i installed bootcamp and so i made my partition    i have a 750GB HD so i made a partition of 300gb for windows 7 and left the other 450gb for Mac....so you need to partition enough for what you want bootcamp for remember once you get bootcamp working you will need to install ALL Important Windows updates Including Win 7 SP1......once everything is installed you will have bootcamp up and running lovely.....u can then boot up with either win7 or mac......click this link and watch carefully and do exactly as shown ok and you should be fine...if you have any probs contact me again ok.....let me know how you get on ok..:)...http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=fvwp&v=QFIWtXTl4d0&NR=1

  • How to call operating system(windows) functions like sutdown,refresh,et

    Hello,
    I am new in Oracle D2k.I want to know that how to call windows XP/7 shell commands(operating system functions) or windows function key(like F5 for system refresh in windows xp/7) in an Oracle Form.
    Actually I have to make a trigger which can fire at pressing a particular key and execute appropriate action of Windows7 like shutdown,F5(function key of windows to system refresh).
    thank you
    regards
    aaditya.

    Just for future reference, regardless if you are posting in the Forms area of the forum or any other, terms like Forms 11g, Oracle 11g, etc are parts of product names. They are not version numbers although they do offer a slight hint. It is very important that when posting you include the complete version number of any products related to the problem or question you have. For example, you said you are using Oracle Forms 11g. Look at how many possible versions "Forms 11g" could possibly be:
    11.1.1.1
    11.1.1.2
    11.1.1.3
    11.1.1.4
    11.1.1.6
    11.1.2.0
    11.1.2.1
    With each new patch release and major release, a large number of bug fixes are included. In the case of new major releases, in addition to bug fixes, many new features are added. So knowing the version number is important.
    Beyond that, it would appear that you have many questions:
    1. How to copy and paste
    2. How to execute a system shutdown
    3. How to force the browser into full screen mode
    4. Refresh - this one is unclear. What do you mean by "refresh"?
    Let me answer those that I can:
    <blockquote>o Functions like cut/copy/paste are available directly from your Forms code. For these I would recommend referring to the Builder's Online Help. Look for CUT_REGION, COPY_REGION, PASTE_REGION. It might also be helpful to understand SELECT_ALL. For example you may want to code a Copy button like this:
    GO_ITEM('some_text_field);
    SELECT_ALL;
    COPY_REGION;o To execute a system shutdown on the client machine, you would first need to WebUtil enable your form. Refer to the Forms Builder Online Help for information about how to use WebUtil. You can also find lots of information in this forum about WebUtil. Once enabled, you can execute a Windows shutdown in various ways. Here one option:
    Declare
         my_cmd varchar2(255);
    Begin
         my_cmd := 'cmd /c start "" "' || '"shutdown -s -f -t 1"' || '"';
         WEBUTIL_HOST.HOST (my_cmd);
    End;Refer to the Microsoft documentation for more information: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb491003.aspx
    o I'm not sure what you are attempting to do with the F11. I understand that this function key sets the browser to full screen, but the form will not exactly adjust for this change in browser size. You can adjust the applet size dynamically, but not the form. For that you would need to code the behavior yourself. So, before I can offer something specific, it would be helpful to understand what you expectation is and if what you want is to set the browser to full screen, why not just allow the end user to do it? You could easily have a java script popup displayed before the form starts which might say something like "To maximize your browser, press F11"
    o Finally, "refresh". I don't know what you mean here. Refresh what? The Windows desktop, browser, Oracle Forms.....

  • Old external Toshiba HDD not working with Windows 7

    I feel as if this problem is going to affect more and more people. Having searched the internet without luck, I felt the need to address the issue here!
    I have an external 320GB Toshiba HDD, model: PX1267E-1G32 which Windows 7 (64Bit Professional) does not recognise. It does not show up in my computer and states the device is not working properly. Troubleshooting does not help, and it suggests i have the latest driver for it (version 6.1.7600.16385)
    I can not find any support for this device. I have read some people trying to tackle the password protection it comes with (a separate partition with this function) but this is not an issue for me as i never use it. There are drivers on that partition as well which have no affect on windows when i have transferred them via a flash stick.
    On my laptop Windows XP is installed and it finds the HDD without any problems. This has lead me to believe there is a fault with compatibility within the newer windows systems. I have tried formatting the drive, reinstalling drivers and searching for a solution. I really can not believe this has not been resolved somewhere and fear with it being an older discontinued product (Mid 2006) there will be little support for it.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    hi urbancoffy,
    boah what a hell....
    let's look if there is a cure.....
    this device is recognized under every other system than yours, right?
    if so maybe your software is misconfigured or your usb connection is bad....
    how to determine?
    try other devices like an usb-stick
    check bios if legacy usb support is on
    check device manager (device plugged in) if it shows any information like a //dev_xxxx
    if your usb port is ok
    goto device manager and remove all usb devices (show hidden devices)
    reboot and let the system determine the hub etc
    plug in usb-hdd and see if it will be detected - keep in mind: you dont have to load a driver for a usb storage device by yourself
    if the usb ports are ok and your hdd is recognized by other systems maybe it's time for a recovery of your system....
