EMac 800 512MB - What is the best level of OS to run ?

I need to reload OS X on my emac, but before I go out and buy a set of CDs I though I would ask what is the best level of OS X to purchase (10.3, 10.4 etc.) that will run comfortably on my 800mhz 512MB emac ?
Is there a feature comparison list anywhere ?
Thanks.

I just bought a full retail Tiger DVD package online here:

It was indeed a retail box with shrink wrap still intact.
If your eMac does not have a DVD drive, the same source claims to have Tiger retail on CD:

Not cheap but the alternatives (some grey system disks) may cause trouble or not work at all.

    Since you posted in the Thunderbolt Display Community, I am guessing you are attempting to connect a MacBook Air to a Thunderbolt Display, but since you tagged projector, it makes me doubt my assumption. Can you provide some more details on what you are trying to connecto your MacBook Air to?

    What is the best solution for me to run Microsoft Access on my brand new iMAC?  Assume I'm a casual user.
    I am lead to believe by some real smart guys on the Apple site that If I have the Apple Store partition my iMAC and add the full suite of Office products on that partition, I can run the few Access programs I have and need to run.
    Comments encouraged.  Thank you in advance for your consideration and help.

    You would have to install Windows, then install Microsoft Office Professional for Windows on it  To install Windows you will have to choose between Boot Camp (faster, free) and a Virtual Machine (simpler, slower, easier to backup)
    You should try LibreOffice (free), it can open Access files, it may not have all Access's feature set though, worth a try.

  • What is the best Dell PC configuration to run Master Collection CS4

    Hi
    What is the best Dell Computer/PC configuration to run Adobe Master Collection CS4 smoothly. Also please mentione about the experiences with Dell(if possible with, Dell Australia) I am using a Dell Dimension 8400 bought in 2005 (2.8GHz, 2 GB DDR2 RAM, 1 TB HDD Capacity)
    Ur help is much appreciated. Thx
    Pushpa

    Dell does not have any sensible 'best PC configuration', not even when you go for the best they offer, which is over $ 14 K and is still lacking. But you have a power cord free. However, if you opt for redundant power supply, you need to choose a second power cable. Strange they did not include that in the option for redundant PSU's.
    Dell is only good if they offer a system that meets your requirements fully. If you need anything else than their standard configuration, better go elsewhere or build it yourself. It is pretty easy to build a system for less than the price of a Dell that outperforms it by a wide margin, because their BIOS is crippled and they charge the most extravagant prices for everything not in their standard offer.
    If money is no object, try to configure a dual W5590 system with at least 24 GB ECC RAM and at least an Areca raid controller and 8 disks in raid3. But with Dell, if at all possible, the price will be around $ 20 K US or more.

  • What is the best way to get iTunes running on my Windows 7 64 bit system without installing it on my Windows 7 64 bit system?

    I had iTunes installed on XP before upgrading my system and with all the install and uninstall issues I don't want to go through the same thing with Windows 7.
    So, I'm looking for a way to get iTunes running on my system without installing it (like maybe in a Virtual OS on VirtualBox or VMWare.)
    Something that I can easily restore and/or repair (Windows 7 Restore Points/backup options are not viable because they restore EVERYTHING to the state they were in when they were created.)
    TYIA
    Any suggestions will help as to the best way of doing this.

    LOL Yeah, right, that's very funny...
    I did that on XP so I know better now!
    Here is just 1 example of many:
    On XP the uninstall wouldn't work so I coudn't upgrade iTunes.  In order to fix this without Re-Installing XP, I had to delete iTunes and then manually remove it from the registry and from Add/Remove programs before I could Install the new version.  Eventualy it did work after 1 and a half days of repairs...
    I'm not going through the same type of problems on Windows 7 that just simply waste my time!

  • What is the best operating system i can run

    Processor 2 GHZ Intel Core Duo Memory 2 GB 667 MHZ  DDR2  SDRAM, currently running Version 10.4.11
    <Title Edited by Host>

    Just so you know, a Mac with an Intel processor is not a G-series Mac (i.e., yours isn't a G5).
    "Best" depends upon what  you need, though if you only have a Core Duo processor and not a Core 2 Duo you are limited to OSX 10.4.11-10.6.8.  With your ocmputer I would grab a copy of Snow Leopard (10.6) before they really are all gone.
    Apple no longer carries 10.6 in its stores or online. Telephone Apple to purchase a Snow Leopard disc. In the USA: (800) 676-2775 (contact information for other countries: http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57)
    Alternatively you can buy from online retailers but expect to pay much more than the original price which is the price still charged by Apple

  • What is the best touch scree laptop for running adobe programs?

    For those of you that are very pleases with the performance? what model and specs do you have.
    I use photoshop and illustrator and want a two in one so I can do line art too. But for me it is not worth it if performance does not keep up.
    Thanks

    Make sure the seller that sells older versions of the Adobe CS suites, if this was the sellers own software,  has de authorized or unregistered the software they are selling. Also, make sure the seller gives you all of the registration info needed for you to register and authorize this software in your own Adobe account.
    Male sure you get the sellers contact info in case something doesn't go right with the registration process.
    The seller may need to provide you with info they forgot to five to you or you may need.
    If, you have any issues with registering the software, Adobe has a 24 hour live tech support online messaging support system that you can access on the Adobe website.
    Good Luck!

  • What is the best solution these days for running PC software on my intel iMac?

    I have some special software that only runs on Windows operating system.  Can I use a PC emulator software package or can I partition my hard drive and install Windows?

    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 Labs- Virtualization Benchmarks, January 2013 | MacTech for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Benchmarks of all of the above except Crossover can be found in Benchmarking Parallels, Fusion, and VirtualBox Against Boot Camp - The Mac Observer. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or later. 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.

  • What is the best way of converting a Top Level VI into a 'sub vi' - or function ( without duplicating programming)

    Hi,
    General question here about design architecture, which i keep running into, but haven't found a really good solution.  If i write a 'Top Level VI' to do something, what is the best way of converting it into a subVI - which is call-able from other VIs, while still allowing the top level VI to have synchronised feedback/indicator updates.
    I guess the point is that when something is a top level VI you write gui logic about what happens when someone clicks buttons or whatever - which you don't want in the 'sub vi' version.
    I did at one point try having a hidden boolean button that was an input to the subVI which would let the VI know if it was supposed to be doing the front panel stuff - or simply running as a subVI.  This isn't really ideal though - since it would be better to be able to hive off the grizzly useful stuff from the fluffy - front panel updating stuff - having them together makes the VIs rather untidy.  More annoyingly though, if you have the front panel version of it running - say waiting for you to hit 'go', it breaks all the other VIs that use it as a sub vi - since they can't compile when a sub vi is already running.
    Another possibility that i tried was to basically duplicate the vi so that there was a backend part, and a front end part - and when i click 'go' the backend part is called as a sub vi.  The problem with this is that it really limits the interface that the user gets - since none of the controls on the front panel update with the results untill the sub vi is over.  I guess again i could solve this by passing references to some of the controls to update them in the subvi - but this doesn't really seem like the ideal situation if the subvi is called by something else without the same types of controls etc.
    One final idea i had was to essentially paste all the controls in the VI into a global variable file, and make the sub vi update them, and the front panel VI read from them.  This seems to 'work' - although clearly it is a work around rather than a proper solution - since i spend loads of time worrying about how i update cluster variables in the global - reading and writing.
    Does anyone have any guidance on what they do to solve this problem?
    JP

    You could run a subvis in a Subpanel on your top level.  Lets you see the current data while the subvi is running.

  • Logic Pro 7. What's the best 800 firewire External H/Drive?

    I am not sure, but I can warn you not to buy the Rosewill enclosure with the Oxford 922 Chip...
    http://www.rosewill.com/product/product.aspx?productId=81
    That is what I have with a Seagate 160GB, 8MB Cache, 7200RPM, Ultra-IDE hard drive. It's fast, but it has A.D.D. It will fall asleep, even after playing with the hard drive sleep times... Also, it has a slow response time in Logic... I click record, and it takes 3-5 seconds for it to start recording. I get the spinning beach ball of death for that 3-5 seconds... shrugs
    My friend bought this drive...
    http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/firewire/1394/USB/EliteAL/400+USB2/
    And it works perfectly on my computer. No crappy A.D.D... Hope that helps.

    *Note a few of my best friends have A.D.D. and I hope no one takes offense to that reference... it just seemed VERY fitting in my situation.

  • What is the best way to clean up your mac and make it faster and run to an optimum level?

    Hi Everyone, Hope all is well
    Iv been running my mac pro for a long time now, its a Mac pro, 2x 2.26 GHz Quad Core Intel Xeon. 12 GB 1066 MHz DDR3 Ram
    Over time now it has become slower, at the moment its still running fine but im sure over time it has probabally collected unwanted data etc. i just dont want it to become a problem as its only going to be used more and more... i now notice that some of the regular programs which i open do take a little while longer to open and i sometimes see that little round Mac loading the sign (the round multicolor wheel).., is there a way to clean the mac up? so that it can run more smoothly and just a better over all feel.,,, the machine is still running beautifully but its time i give it more care and revive it a little more..
    What are the best ways to do this, i dont trust any of these non apple based products which claim they can clean ur Mac etc.
    Any solutaion and advice that u guys can give would be great and i would be very thankful
    Thanks in advance

    For immediate speed improvements, upgrade to a Solid State Drive and upgrade your conventional hard drives to new ones, because the newer ones are faster at reading and writing than the ones from 5 years ago.
    By Re-installing your OS onto a solid state drive, the system will boot much faster, and your programs will launch much faster.
    I use a small SSD (only 60GB) which contains only OS X and all my apps.  All of my personal files are on the large mechanical hard drive.  If you still use the drive that shipped with the Mac, then it might be a good idea to replace it.
    Depending on what kind of work you do, then additional RAM will help.  Swapping CPUs should only be done if you are really in need of the improvements they would bring. 
    You appear to have the 2009 dual-CPU Mac Pro, which is the most challenging model to swap CPUs into.

  • What is the best Mac choice for creating pro-level art/graphics/animation?

    I'm an artist who does a lot of work with Adobe Creative Suite CS5, as well as some video editing and lots of animation. I've been using a 2007 model 15-inch Macbook Pro for the last 4 years, and it seems like it's time to upgrade...it runs burning hot all the time, and the battery dies pretty quick when the cord falls out. It seems like the whole thing is running a little slow, which is probably because I have a TON of graphics/animation/video software on there, but I need each and every program.
    My question is, what is the best new Mac to purchase to replace this one? I want to make sure it lasts as long as possible, and will be able to handle the programs I use now. My first thought is to get another Macbook Pro, because of the portability, and just add on all the higher RAM, etc to customize it. But my husband suggested looking into the Mac Mini, because it's a lot cheaper, and we're a little strapped for cash at the moment. Would that serve the purpose? Or is a Macbook Pro really the best choice for what I need it to do?
    I'd love to hear suggestions from other artists or graphics people. What do you recommend?

    For a "cash strapped" person, unless you already
    have a monitor, one of the new iMacs may be
    a better choice.  If you do have a monitor, I would
    suggest the dual core i7 equipt MacMini.  Since you state
    you are using CS5 stuff, most Adobe apps,
    Photoshop for example, do not make effective
    use of multiple cores.  Also, using any of the
    Adobe products, regardless of which computer
    you decide on, get as much RAM as you can afford.

  • What is the best way to create a SSRS Report with Header Data and its associated child data

    So I have Member Information...Member ID...Member Addressing...etc.. I want to display this in the top part of the report like...
    Member Name:
    Member ID:
    Member Address Line 1:
    And then below I want to report on all the claims associated with a Member ID that is chosen by the Parameter. Obviously the Claim Data will be in Table format. Do I necessarily have to associate the Member Information with the Claim Information or simply
    use the same parameter? And what is the best Toolbox item to use to display the Member Information on top?
    Any help or guidance is greatly appreciated by this newbie.
    Thanks for your review and am hopeful for a reply.
    ITBobbyP

    Hi ITBobby,
    According to your description, you want to display all Claim Data for each Member. Right?
    In Reporting Services, we can use a table to display those Claim Data and make them group on Member ID. If you want to display the Member Information, we can put the data fields on parent group level. Then we can use create a parameter to filter the Member
    ID we need. We have tested this scenario in our local environment. Here are steps and screenshots for your reference:
    1. Create a DataSet(DataSet1) which contains the data fields of Member and Claim.
    2. Create a table and drag the Claim data into the table.
    3. In Row Group. Right click on Details and add a parent group.
    4. Select Member_ID in Group by.
    5. Right click on the textbox of Claim data. Select Insert Row->Outside of Group-Above. Drag the MemberName into the inserted row.
    6. In Report Data, right click on Parameter-> Add Parameter.
    7. Type Member_ID in Name and Prompt, select allow multiple values.
    8. In Available Values, select get data from a query. Choose DataSet1, select Member_ID in values and label. You can also set this in Default Values if you need.
    9. Save and preview.
