How do I get Windows XP on my Power Mac?

Hey guys,
I love Mac OS X and everything, but there's this one program I've been hanging to try out on my G5 that is only available on Windows.
I suppose what I'm asking is; how can I get Windows XP on my Mac so I can use this program?
Regards,
Daniel

Good heavens. There is no way that any Windows emulation software is going to make that software usable for you. Why not buy iLife '06 and use iMovie HD? That is only $80 verses $450 for the Sony software. Unless of course the Sony software has features that iMovie HD doesn't. There is also Final Cut Express HD that is less expensive that the offering from Sony.
You can order Virtual PC from the Apple Store online or just about any store that sells computer software.

  • How do I get Windows XP onto my new mac running lion when boot camp only gives me the option for windows 7

    Hi   I have been trying to partition my hard drive on my new Mac so that I can run some windows specific programs and I wanted to use Windows Xp because I beleive it to be suitable for my needs + becuase its now an older OS it's cheaper.
    My version of Mac is running the Lion operating system and when I start up the boot camp assitant I only get the option to install windows 7. If I proceed and put in the XP installer disc I get a message "Installer disc not found- insert disc and wait a few moments".
    The Xp disc is supposed to be a full version- at least thats what the guy who sold it to me claims, anyone any solutions on how to proceed or do I have to buy Windows 7?

    With OSX Lion Apple has removed support for Windows XP and Windows Vista from BootCamp.
    That leasves only Windows 7 as a viable option to use.
    You can however use Virtualization apps like the free VirtualBox to install and run XP on your Mac.
    Commercial ones are Parallels and VMWare Fusion.

  • How do I get windows to connect to the internet on my iMac

    How do I get Windows 7 Home Premium to connect to my existing internet connection, on my iMac (Lion 10.7.3)?  The installation of the Windows 7 using Bootcamp went fine, up to the point of getting connected to the internet.  My iMac side of the partition connects to the internet just like it always did.

    You should ask this in the boot camp forum.
    You will probably get more help there.

  • How can I get Windows (v7 x64) to open in Dreamweaver (CS5) if I right click it?

    Hi
    How can I get Windows (v7 x64) to open in Dreamweaver (CS5) if I right click it?
    None of the normal mechanisms of setting an application to be the DEFAULT application for the .HTML file type seem to work...
    Extremely irritating.

    A list of various "recommended applications" but not including Dreamweaver. It's not in the list of Other Applications either. And if I browse for it, my selection of dreamweaver.exe is flatly ignored without message.

  • Envy dv6 notebook - Hard drive failure - How do I get windows 8 reloaded on my Notebook

    Hard drive failed in the notebook / laptop. How do I get windows 8 back on the new drive? Hp told me they will not send or sell me recovery disks. WHat kind of crap is that?
    Help!

    Once one is out of warranty HP is not obligated to send recocovery media for free. Owners have a responsibility to create the recovery media shortly after removing their notebook during the inital product setup.
    You can purhase the recovery media from HP here.
    The BIOS does hold the product code for Windows 8, so that is a non issue.

  • How do I get Windows 8 Pro to recognize my optical drive?

    How do I get Windows 8 Pro to recognize my optical drive? I put in an installation disk and the OS does not recognize it is there?

    I looked for drivers for my superdrive but they don't appear to be available from the manufacturer (Sony). Fortunately I was able to load the contents of the installation disk onto the mac side of my computer and transfer it onto the windows side where I could install it. So I am fine for now but it would be nice to have a functioning optical drive on my windows side if possible.
    The superdrive is internal. I downloaded the bootcamp support files from bootcamp assistant right before installing windows so I assume if a driver exists it would have been installed.
    Do you know where I could get a Windows 8 driver for an internal OPTIARC DVD RW AD-5690H?
    Thank you for your help.

  • I use the "Bootcamp" on my Mac to work between Mac and Windows. How do I get my iTunes music from the Mac side of my hard drive to the Windows side?

    I use my "Bootcamp" harddrive to work on both the Mac side and Windows7 side of my computer. How do I get my Itunes Library from the Mac side to the Windows side of my Mac Book Pro?

    Time Capsule is for backing up your data. It's not really a solution for live file storage; using it will not reduce the bloat of your boot volume.
    If you have a lot of movies, music, etc. in your iTunes Library, that can be a good thing to move to an external drive. Here's how:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1449
    After you follow those instructions to copy your media over to the external drive and point iTunes to it, you can delete it from your internal drive.

    How do I get windows pictures to sync to ipad2 when it tells me no new pictures are detected?  I have put all my pictures into albums on windows & have some new pictures on it.

    All I can suggest is to check that the photo directory in itunes is pointed to the correct place.  Also I've had issues where if there is a corrupt photo in my photo directory it will fail, not loading any other new photos as well.

  • Get rid of Windows 8-- hate it. How do I get Windows 7?

    My laptop came with Windows 8.  It will not install the Windows 8.1 for whatever reason.  Windows 8 SUCKS.  You can't do anything and simple things like "Uninstall program" have been renamed and you have to search it-- with about
    eight different terms to figure out what the heck they decided to rename it. Getting rid of viruses is a nightmare because you can't find the tools you need.
    How do I get windows 7? I don't feel that I should pay to get it when Windows 8 is so terrible that it is junk. It's as bad as Vista was... nightmare.  I feel ripped off with this system but can't get the store to help me.

    I just typed a long paragraph commenting on my experience with Win8, but for some reason my browser decided to close and I was forced to run an update.
    So I'll summarize. I've used a computer since I was 5 years old. I started with a precursor to the 8088 and have used every major system and OS since then.
    The #1 requirement of any OS is that "I" be in control, not the OS.
    This simple little thing was completely overlooked and I find myself for the first time ever, actually hating my Computer.
    If a major rework is not conceived soon, I believe Win8 will take its place in history as the OS that killed the PC.
    I should not have to install third party add-ons and scripts just to perform simple tasks.
    I bought this laptop for work and "I" should be able to choose what parts of the OS are installed.
    Lets start with adding the option to remove all Metro and full screen aps.
    I don't want to reconfigure or uncheck boxes. I literally want these parts of the OS removed and only a basic, slick desktop, work oriented environment. 
    No bells - no whistles. I work for a living.
