How can i run windows on osx lion

Hi, some programs don't run anymore on osx lion. So I would like to install windows. How do I need to proceed?
Thanks, Franklin

... don't run anymore
Upgrade when possible.
Downgrade back.
Dual boot 10.6 or even 10.5 (as old as your Mac came with) and Lion -
You can even have a Mac HFS data partition.
Instead of dual booting Windows.
Depends on what. You didn't mention. Or whether they are Windows alternatives that have to run natively. Or could be run in a VM guest OS - but have to share RAM and processor resource, which may not be feasible or run well enough.
Apps incompatible with OS X Lion
keep Snow Leopard when upgrading to Lion

How can i download and install OSX LION on my old black macbook from 2009?

how can i download and install OSX LION on my old black macbook from 2009?

Click here, buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD, install it, and run the Mac OS X 10.6.8 combo updater. You can then either buy Mountain Lion 10.8 from the Mac App Store or phone the online Apple Store and order a download code for Lion 10.7.

On the mac mini 2011 how can I run windows 7 without the optical drive, On the mac mini 2011 how can I run windows 7 without the optical drive

On the mac mini 2011 how can I run windows 7pm bootcamp without an optical drive. I watch lots of football on sop cast and other such windows based programmes but can't work out how to do it.

Actually Windows can be installed and booted from an external drive if the drive is connected eSATA (external SATA), since the drive is treated as if it's an internal HDD. I used the same method previously to dual-boot from 2 different HDD instead of partitioning.
Most PC motherboards come with them as standard so it's pretty much plug and play but I don't recall seeing a recent Mac with eSATA connectivity though, so that might not be an option for you.

How can I copy the purchased OSX Lion to my MacPro?

According to the license conditions I am entitled to copy my purchased version OSX Lion from my iMac to my MacPro. Can anybody please let me know how? Thanks in advance, Theo.

As has been previously mentioned. on a new machine -i.e. lion not installed - just go to the MAS and use the same Apple id and you should be able to download it.
On a Machine with Lion installed.
Open the App Store.
Hold Down the option key and while it's held down select Purchase.
Now Install Mac OS X LIon should show "Install" instead of "Installed" this will allow you to download a new copy of the installer.
You can then save it and make a DVD etc
and/or
Copy it to another machine to install it there.

HT5049 how can i run windows xp with OS X v10.7.3?

I bought a copy of Windows XP (as recommended by my place of work) to enable me to work from home. The intention was to use boot camp to partition my had drive and install windows in the partitioned area. Unfortunately v10.7.3 doesn't seem to allow me to do this - it only seems to accept Windows7?

that's correct. With 10.7, only Win 7 can be run under boot camp. To run XP with Lion, you will need to use a virtual machine such as Parallels or VMware Fusion for example.

How can i run Windows on a macbook Pro

Hello
I am close to a business decission to use in future a MACBook Pro with Retsina Display
For Business reasons i have to be able to run also Winodws in a Virtual machine as some company internal applications need Windows
Which program would i use here on the newest MAC-OS
I want to use for private the MAC-OS and run Windows in a virtual environment to avoid Dual boot
Is the winodws Machine from Network, Printer drivers and all other transparent to the network?
bluetooth and other ports transparent supported in Windows?
any restrictions you may know on such environment
What versions of Windows are supported in such a virtuell environment?
Can i run Outllook from Microsoft in MAC-OS ?
Thanks very much for the answers

I second jopilkie's recommendation for Parallels. I've been using Parallels for years - currently using Windows 7 Pro 64-bit with MS Office 2013, a ton of Adobe apps, etc. I use it primarily for Office, Adobe Acrobat Pro, Adobe LiveCycle Designer and a few other apps that aren't available for OS X.
The answer is 'yes' to most of your questions - your network, printing, scanning, Bluetooth, DVD drive(s), external and internal hard drives, etc. can be accessed both in the Windows environment as well as OS X. And you can run Outlook either in on the Mac side or on the Windows side (personally, I signed up for Office 365 - $100 a year and you can install Office on up to 5 machines) - I use Outlook 2013 on the Windows side for three of my email accounts and Outlook 2011 on the Mac side for an additional 3 email accounts: it's nice to keep things separate that way!
I would recommend running Windows 7 - 64-bit, but whichever 'flavor' you prefer. Personally, Pro works just fine for my needs.
But beware Office 2013 on the Windows side - it really takes some familiarity until you become accustomed to it! Too much like Windows 8, but I'm getting used to it...
Call back if you've other questions.
Good luck,
Clinton

How can i run windows programs on my mac?

i have a version of photoshop for windows, and i was wondering if it is possible to run that on my iMac. is there something i need to download?

You have several options:
1. Download and install Apple's Boot Camp which enables you to boot the computer either into Windows XP w/Service Pak 2 or OS X. This is a dual-boot solution.
2. Purchase Parallels Desktop for Mac (www.parallels.com) which is virtualization software and enables you to run Windows (any version) simultaneously with OS X in a separate window.
3. Purchase CodeWeavers' CrossOver (www.codeweavers.com) which enables you to run many Windows' applications without having to install Windows.
All the above require you have an Intel Mac with at least 1 GB of installed RAM.

How can i connect windows(laptop) to lion server?

Hi..
We in our company use mac's as clients. We use Mac OSx 10.7 lion server. We have a lenovo laptop for general purpose. Now can we connect that laptop in network. So that can we remotely use mac screen sharing.

Are you asking how to connect to FileSharing from the PC ?
Or are you asking about screensharing?
On Server
If file sharing, edit the SharePoint and make sure that
Windows File Sharing (SMB) is enabled
On the PC:
Map a network drive
\\10.0.0.1\Share
(your IP and the share name)
Make sure you check the box to use another account or user/password
It will then ask you to enter a password.
In general, the above should work.
There are some cases where it requires a few other tricks.
Good Luck

How can i run windows on my ipad

Hi
I am thinking of buying a tablet pc right now im basicly just considering my optons on weather to buy a windows tablet, android tablet or an iPad. if this is possible, ill defenitly buy an iPad, if not i dont know. the reason im wondering is simply because i need a lightweight computer/ tablet for regular use, i am often traveling (45 minutes by train to and from my school), i will always have internet acces, (wifi on the train, and 3g) i was wondering if there is a way for me to run the windows from my desktop on my ipad this would make it easier for me to do homework on the train, or simply just play a few games that normally doesnt work for ipad. I frst looked into trying to install windows on it, but only found how to install windows 95. I've heard about splashtop, but if you want to use that over the internet you will need a subscription.
Is there a free, or better way to do this?
it would just be great to use the windows for the school stuff, and maybe a little gaming on the go, aswell as being able to use the ios for the more casual stuff like surfing the web, playing ios games, facetime, imessage, and other things
Thanks for your help
+ i apologise for any confusing mispellings, and bad grammar that may be there. English is not my first language

yes you can use windows on ipad, i am not going to install it, i am simply just finding a fancy way of controlling and using my desktop from a train via the internet. and that is very possible to do, i already know a way actually, what i am asking here is if there is any free ways to do it, or any better apps than splashtop streamer to use and soforth.

On a Mac Platform, how can I run Windows Media Player, v.9 or above?

There's a program I want to buy that I need have Windows program to run it: "My videos use Windows Media Player version 9 or above. If your current operating system can not support that version, you will not be able to view the videos." I have a PowerPC G3 iMac DV "400". I've heard that there's a program that Macs can run to enable me to use Windows software. Is that the way to go? THANKS for any/all INFO.!!—Leslie:)
PowerPC G3 Mac OS 9.0.x
PowerPC G3 Mac OS 9.0.x I'm in-process of installing OSX Tiger

If you're using OS 9, you really can't as the latest version of WMP for Mac on OS 9 is verson 7.
You'd have to upgrade to OS X for you to be able to use WMP 9.

How can I get Spaces in OSX lion to look like Spaces in OSX Snow Leopard

I bought a new MacBookAIR. Used time capsule to import all my settings. Perfect!
However, the new setup of Spaces, is beyond annoying and absolutely unable to work with.
Does anyone know how to get the classic view of Spaces back in OS Lion?
I loved working with that. The active programs were very easy to remember since they had their own 'visual space reference' (upper left, lower right).
Now you only have a row, of which you need to remember which screen is on what number of the row and you now need to swipe through all the d..mn pages instead of navigating intuitively to a specific part of the screen (middle left, lower right etc).
I absolutely hate the new setup and hope somebody has an answer to this....I certainly hope, as an Apple fan, this solution comes quick..for one of the most beloved features now is pretty much dead to me..
Thanks all!

I have installed to Mountain Lion and have the same problem.... I'm content about many things in Mountain
Lion, but lack of Spaces frustrate me.
Since you upgraded, you can downgrade.

Can I run windows vista under lion boot camp?

I have an older install disk for windows vista that I need to install on my mac mini running lion. I tried to do it under the bootcamp install but it froze most of the way through it. Will this work? or does it have to be W7 only? Lastly, is there a work around without spending money?

How can I run Windows XP under 10.10.2?

While I seldom use XP, there are times I need a Windows OS. I run OX 10.10.2 on my late 2012 iMac, and until I updated to Yosemite, I was running under Parallels. I deleted Parallels as I wished to upgrade it, and have lost my Windows OS ability. Any help out there?

When you deleted Parallels, did you also delete the XP virtual machine you'd run using Parallels? If not, Kurt Lang's advice to reinstall Parallels will solve your problem. Or, you can install VMware Fusion, which can also use your VM.
