how do you convert windows program downloads to your imac

You need to use a tool which enables them to be run on the iMac, such as CrossOver Mac, VirtualBox, or Boot Camp.

    how to run windows  on my imac

    Glad you asked:
    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.

  • How do you convert labwindows programs to labview programs?

    Is it possible to convert a labWindows/CVI developed program into a LabView program?

    No. Maybe once NI releases the LabVIEW scripting tools, someone will create such a tool but for now, the only thing you can do is create a DLL from the CVI code and use the Call Library Function Node. This is done all the time with CVI/IVI instrument driver and there is a tool to do this type of conversion.

  • How do you uninstall a program from mountain lion osx

    Hi first time on mac forum
    my question is being new to imacs how do you uninstal a program from an imac running osx mountain lion. And of course get rid of the icon for that program from launchpad
    thanks

    What app do you want to uninstall? If it's an app that is provided by the installation of OS X, e.g. Safari, Reminders, Notes, Mail, etc. - there are many others - they shouldn't be uninstalled.
    If it is an app that was downloaded from the Mac App Store, in Launchpad click and hold its icon until it jiggles. Click on the 'x' in the corner to delete it.
    If it's an app that was installed using an installer program it is always best to see if an uninstaller is available from the developer of the app (there is often an uninstaller bundled in with the installer package).
    Other third party apps that are simply drag-installed into the Applications folder - like Skype, for example - can be just dragged to the Trash and will be deleted when the Trash is emptied.

  • How do you determine which programs or processes run following a reboot?

    How do you determine which programs or processes run following a reboot?  Also when you reboot Mac tries to reopen anything running before the reboot.  Is there any way to turn off that functionality?

  • HT3825 so how do you convert the raw files to jpeg in iphoto?

    how do you convert the raw files to jpeg in iphoto?

    Many thanks Barbara and dj_paige.
    What I didn't mention is that I'm using PSE 5 with ACR 4.6, if its relevant.  I'm thinking of updating to the next version when its out in the hope that it will run with Windows 7 64 bit or I may go to Lightroom.
    I can now see that I can batch convert a whole folder of files using "process multiple files" as dj_paige suggested but that is too many at once as the settings I choose won't be relevant for all the pics in the folder. 
    I was hoping to batch convert say 5 or 6 similar photos at a time with the same settings. I'm not quite clear what you're suggesting but I'm hoping that its a "work round" using two stages to achieve this. 
    I can't see a list of open files within ACR to ensure that they are all selected as you suggest. 
    What does clicking Open rather than Done mean?  Does this amend the original RAW file to the settings selected so that if I then "process multiple files" on the whole folder to convert from RAW to JPEG they will in fact have already been processed in smaller groups so I can convert without applying any further changes?
    If so, what settings should I apply to "process multiple files" to ensure a simple conversion of file type rather than any further adjustments?
    Any further help on this would be much appreciated.

  • How do you convert mov to wav files?

    How do you convert .mov files to .wav files in iMovie 10? I can no longer find the Share/Quicktime/Options tabs.

    * the .mov container can be handled by any PC with a free download of Quicktime for Windows; but many PC users hesitate doing so, because on the Apple website it looks like you instali iTunes too... many PC don't like that...
    * .mp4 can be handled by any actual PC mediaplayer... again: PC users are used to import .wmv (or the very old .avi container/not supported by YouTube)
    * for exporting .wmv on a Mac, you need to buy a licence at www.flip4mac.com
    * mpeg... the MotionPictureExpertGroup published many codecs... mpeg1, mpeg2, mpeg4, h261, h264. .... but using iM as exporter, all these mpegs will be "hidden" in the QT container .mov... with QTpro you can strip-off the container, but I recommed the beginner to use one of the above mentioned options......

    How do you convert a pages document to a pdf document?

    Often the reason Share > via e-mail doesn't work is an "illegal" character in the file name. The most common problem character is a / but any character not allowed in Windows can be a problem.

  • How Do You Convert a DVD video to an mpeg video?

    I was just wondering...how do you convert a DVD disc that has videos in it and make it into quicktime mpeg videos that can make the computer understand?

    Hi Ryan.
    The FREE program HandBrake will convert DVDs or just sections into mpeg4 files. They can't be imported directly into FCE but they can be imported into iMovie.
    Then you just copy the iMovie files into FCE.
    Download it here:-

    Depending on the version of osx you are using - you can drag it to the trash,  you can go to launch pad and delete.  There is also appcleaner as stated above which works well
    I am a week old newbie to ML.  Haven't fully explored Launch Pad yet.  Thanks for the heads up!
    One thing about Hazel that I love is that it runs in the background.  Any file that I trash a window pops up showing all the straggler files w/select options for each straggler file to keep or trash. 
    Before I got Hazel, I noticed when I deleted an app after using it, the preference (plist) files have not been deleted when I manually checked.  This also includes the apps that install through "packages."
