I have a newer MacBook Pro with an AMD processor. It is my understanding that Parallels can only be used on Mac's with Intel Processors. Is that true and if so does anyone have recommendations about how to have a windows side to my Mac

Then it either is a pirate clone or you are misinformed.
Apple Computer has never used AMD processors in its products.
However, the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) is a Radeon unit, which is an AMD subsidiary. Parallels, VMWare, VirtualBox will all work fine with the Intel Core i7 or i5 CPU that powers the Mac, and use the AMD Radeon GPU that drives the displays.

Arranging windows side by side

In the Windows OS I can open 2 windows then right click on the desktop and select view side by side. One window will fill the right side of the screen and the other window will fill the left side of the screen.
How do I do this with OS X?
Thanks for any help, I'm a new convert.
Gary

AFAIK, you can't, but I've been wrong before.
Since you're a newcomer to the Mac, see these:

There is no Exposé in OS X Mountian Lion, Apple removed it for "Mission Control" and yes it is a confusing mess.

How do I remove Canon " My Image Garden" from the desktop when turning on my computer ?

How do I remove Canon " My Image Garden" from the desktop when turning on my computer ? I have the icon but the program starts up and I have to delete it manually from the desktop to clear my screen for other work...

Are you using a Windows or a Mac? What you're seeing (the backwards L shaped menu) is probably the Canon Quick Menu. If you have a Mac you can go into your applications, select Canon Utilities, then drag Canon Quick menu to the trash and empty trash can. On Windows you'd go to the control panel, select Programs and Features (or Uninstall Program/Add or Remove Program) and uninstall the Canon Quick Menu. Not required for all the normal functions of the printer. You can do the same thing for My Image Garden. Also not required.

How do I import a file that is on the desktop to iMovie?

How do I import a file that is on the desktop to iMovie?
I had some 8 mm film put onto DVD by yesdvd and now want to import the 3 hours of video into iMovie to edit and create a short story.
I have created a dmg file on my desktop from the DVD but am at a loss as to what's next. There are a bunch of files on the dmg file, including one that says video, which has a bunch of files in it that are video. I assume I need to convert them to a format which iMovie likes. Which one should I use, and which program should I get to do it?
Once I have done that, where should I put the converted files and how do I work with them using iMovie?

You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
(unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
which is a mere $20.
Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
which costs $25.
For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.
And from the TOU of these forums:
Keep within the Law
No material may be submitted that is intended to promote or commit an illegal act.
Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store.
If you are running Lion:
From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it.
To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. You don't have to install QuickTime 7.

How do I transfer a photo from iPhoto or the Desktop onto my Samsung phone GT S5830i ?

Can anyone please tell me how I can transfer a photo from iPhoto or the Desktop onto my Samsung Galaxy Ace GT S5830i phone ? The phone won't connect to Kies. I've uninstalled Kies. I've tried with Bluetooth and USB cable; all to no avail. I'm running Mavericks on a Mac. Many thanks in anticipation, Derek.

You can export the image from iPhoto to the desktop
File -> Export
This User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
Unfortunately, the rest of your query - i.e. - getting it from the desktop to that phone is one more for a Samsung forum.

My auto-login into Windows 7 using Parallels 7 lost the password entry. Can't find it in Keychain. How do I reload Windows 7 without messing with the other programs?

After a Windows 7 auto-update the computer restarted and stopped at the Windows 7 logon screen. I thought I used my Mac system password when I first loaded Win7 but it won't accept it. I tried using the Parallels password and it won't accept that. I checked the keychain and didn't see an entry for Windows 7 login password. Will reloading Win7 corrupt any programs on the Windows side? Will inserting the Win7 CD automatically start the reload and write over the old install?

you need to post this in a Windows Seven forum. It is a Windows problem. ,There is a way to Reset your password but I don't have a link to it.
Try Sevenforums.com a very good Win 7 forum.
Google search Reset Windows 7 Admin or user password.
Then once you have reset it WRITE IT DOWN.

How do I create a new .DS_Store file for the Desktop?

I have an account, in this case it is the System Administrator account (which I seldom use), where the Desktop icons all scrunch up to the right side of the screen. I can re-arrange them, but when I log out and sign back on, the icons are shifted back to the right side of the screen. I thought perhaps I had a corrupted .DS_Store file that needed to be removed. However, it turns out that I can find no .DS_Store file to remove for this account. Finder just doesn't seem to be able to create a new one. I'm not sure how or when the old one disappeared.
Any suggestions how I can get the Finder or something else to create a new .DS_Store for the Desktop so that icons will stay put?

I think I found an answer (not a solution) to my problem. Consulting with Apple Support, there is no way for the System Administrator's desktop to "remember" the positions of icons from one session to the next. They will always move to the right-hand side of the screen when you log back in. Apparently this is a change that occurred with OS 10.6.4. No reason by Apple given for the change, nor is it readily apparent to me why the Desktop or Finder in the System Admin account should work any differently than in any other account. Might simply be an oversight or a bug.
If anybody has a fix, I would appreciate learning about it.

How do I save a picture in "Preview" to the desktop?

Hello,
Now that I'm using Lion, I'm having to re-learn several things and right now I'm trying to figure out how to save a picture to my desktop when I'm in "Preview". In Snow Leopard, all I had to do was go under the File menu and choose, "Save As". However, in Lion, that feature is gone. Instead, it says: "Save A Version". I have no idea what that means. When I am viewing a photo, if I select "Save A Version", I do not see anything happening. Maybe it is saving my photo somewhere on my computer, but if that is the case, I have no clue where it is being saved. What I want to be able to do is "Save" the photo with a name that I choose to give it (not the default name of the picture as it was emailed to me), and I want to be able to save it to my desktop. In Snow Leopard, choosing "Save As" would bring up a dialogue window where I could accomplish these things. So my question is: How do I do this is Lion?
Thanks!

Open your picture in preview then select file>duplicate then go back the file menu and then select save, the save options window will open you can choose to save it to the desktop.

How do I lock a folder in place on the desktop

On my desktop I have 1 folder that contain completed projects as well as multiple folders to manage current projects I'm working on. Occassionally I also have files on the desktop that I am working on for the day. Whenever I arrange by name (or any other criteria) the files and folders on my desktop move all around. My completed folder is now mixed in with files I'm working on and my current projects folders are all over the placed depending on what I named them.
I would like a way to pin certain folders to their place on the desktop (similar to how the hard drive icon is pinned), so when I arrange the desktop files by a certain criteria these "pinned" folders would not move.

Take a look at Desktop Icon Manager (DIM). There has been problems of one form or another with the desktop since the days of OS9. DIM, also in one form or another, has been around since then to try to address these problems.

Webcam detected in Windows 8.1 App not the desktop...

Hello, I tried searching everywhere for a solution and have tried the usual reinstall, downloading an earlier version, etc. But I have still not succeeded in getting the desktop client to find my webcam. Again the app that comes with windows 8.1 can detect my webcam no problem but the client cannot. Also just to avoid the whole "please upload your dxdiag" response I have it already attached.Any ideas?
Solved!

Do you have the Logitech Camera Controller app installed? I had some odd issues when it wasn't, with my c525. So you may want to try that:
http://apps.microsoft.com/windows/en-us/app/logitech-camera-controller/02b3d909-8b3f-49e1-8928-6a92f...
You can also try resetting your Skype configuration. Exit Skype completely then run the following program. When it is done, restart Skype and the initial wizard should come up. See if your camera is picked up.
