Help - migration to Windows - can you help ?

Hello - I dont know what snow leopard is so that the first question - i have mac os 10.6.2 on an imac and on a macpro. I want to put windows on and get rid of all the mac stuff. Can anyone help me with a) what I need to buy and then b) how to install. sorry if i apppear dim !

Second, if you're installing Windows on a Macintosh computer, it will NOT work. ALL of the hardware in your computer is Mac-specific. Windows will NOT recognize any of it. Wireless card, graphics card, video card, sound card, keyboard, etc. So if you want to install Windows only, you have to buy a PC. OR you could install Windows and run it with your Mac at the same time, and just not use the Mac.
Mac Pro makes a great workstation, and until recently, Windows 7 performed better and had fewer problems.
Apple, like other motherboards, has supplied drivers, but even w/o those the Mac Pro is fine - but you need Windows 7 Pro to use dual processor.
VMs are not going to run directly on hardware at native speed, and running 7 on its own hard drive also lets you use PC video card should you want to.
The level of noise and quite literally nonsense... reason they call Mac fans fanatics and The Kool Aide Kids.

  • I'm having trouble with Creative Cloud's desktop app, when I launch it it loads but it's just a blank window, can you help?

    I'm trying to attach a screenshot but apparently that's against Adobe's guidelines.
    I've uninstalled and reinstalled a few times today, even redownloaded the .exe from adobe. All with the same effect.
    Everytime CC loads with a blank window and the only thing I can interact with is the gear icon for Help, Pin Notification, and to Quit.

  • Firefox won't open new windows when I click "File" and "New Window". can you help me?

    My question is just as it reads above. My computer is windows 7. I've never run into this before.

    This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • I realize that when on the internet I cannot minimize the window, can you tell me what may be wrong?

    When I am on the internet I cannot get the site to minimize, what can be the problem?

    I've tried what Chris M-V said and that doesn't work.  Mine stopped working properly right after my warranty expired:( of course!  Was hoping someone had an answer.  I surely hate to have to take it to someone and have to pay for it to be analyzed and fixed!  My computer isn't even a year old.

  • R12 Migration from Windows to Linux

    Hi all,
    I am involved in migrating R12.1 with 11gR1 from windows 2003 to Linux 5U8. I referred the following documents,
    Using Transportable Database to migrate EBusiness Suite R12 Using Oracle Database 10gR2 or 11g (Doc ID 734763.1)
    Application Tier Platform Migration with Oracle EBusiness Suite Release 12 (Doc ID 438086.1)
    Kindly give your inputs on the following sections for better understanding.
    1. How much space is required to use Transportable Database - CONVERT DATABASE command, for example if my database size is 80GB
    Is there any method to estimate space required for the conversion?
    2. a. Regarding new digital signature in Application Tier Platform Migration...
    If we want a new digital signature in the target machine, what are the steps need to be followed?
    2. b. What is pairsfile, Otherthan migration, where it is used?
    Regards,
    Krish

    Hi Hussein,
    in the middle tier migration, we have 2 steps mentioned in the note given above. I did not do this type of middle tier migration before,
    please can you describe the below steps.
    Generate and upload the manifest of customer-specific files what information it will extract from the system ?????
    Download and apply the customer-specific update with AutoPatch what oracle people are going to do the the information provided above and what does that patch do????
    copy the APPL_TOP and some directory of COMMON_TOP to target systemsince source system is on WINDOWS NTFS file system, and we are going to copy these files to Linux File system (ext3 or ext2 what ever it may be).
    does it make any issues, since file systems are different????

  • Can you please assist me in increasing the speed of my server

    hai friends,
    i am using 4.7ee on windows Can you please assist me in increasing the speed of my server.....

    nice hint, but not usefull.
    how you are going to set virtual memory???
    the maximum virtual address space of a process depends on the architecture (32/64 bit) and - if 32 bit Exectuable - on
    - if running on 32 Bit Operating System /3GB and /userva boot.ini options
    - if running on 64 Bit Operating System: max 4 GB
    as long as your application is able to allocate enough memory your pagefiles are sized sufficiently. If you add physical memory, you normaly can decrease the pagefile size.
    1 GB physical is much too less. Depending on the number of users on the server and depending on the SAP Release I would at least recommend to use 4 GB.
    regards
    Peter

  • I downloaded an album from iTunes on my iPad and then i synced it with iTunes it doesn't show the individual songs in my library just the album which opens another window.  Can you help?

    I downloaded an album from iTunes on my iPad and then i synced it with iTunes it doesn't show the individual songs in my library just the album which opens another window.  One of the albums won't even play the music.  Will only open the "booklet" for the cd but not the music.  Can you help?

    Hello dannugget
    Normally, if the songs showed that it is purchased then it is probably already in your library. If not check out the article below to walk you through downloading your past purchases. You may also want to check to see if you have Automatic Downloads turned on so that way next time you can get your tracks without having to plug in and sync.

    I cannot install Creative Suite 5.5 on my Windows 7 Professional. I keep getting error message: "Exit Code: 15 - Media DB sync failed". I have disabled UAC and Startup items and Services with no luck. Can you please help?

    I am sorry Erickkasner but there is no longer direct support provided for Creative Suite 5.5 installation issues.
    You are welcome to post any specific errors you are able to discover within your installation log to this discussion.  Since you are using Windows then Exit Code 15 could mean one of the following:
    Installer database is corrupted
    Update pending to your operating system
    Improper permissions set for the Media.db
    The installation log file should provide additional insight into the exact error you are experiencing.  Please make sure to use the find command to look for the words 'ERROR' and 'FATAL' to locate the relevant error messages.
