How do you run a Windows PC based program on a MacPro

Can someone advise on how I can run a program designed for a windows PC on my Apple Macbook Pro.

Use Boot Camp Assistant, the PDF Guide and FAQ and there is a Boot Camp forum.
Along with that, you might just use a virtual OS of Windows like VirtualBox from Oracle or buy VMware Fusion. But you need Windows usually (Crossover Mac covers a few programs).

    I forgot all about Wine.  Thanks for the tip.
    Have your cake and eat it too!   With the Intel Macs, you can run windows in a virtual machine.  You will need our own copy of Windows.
    Don't miss the free VirtualBox.
    "VirtualBox is a general-purpose full virtualizer for x86 hardware. " Runs Windows on Mac OS.

    You must have an Intel machine.  If it is new new, verify that you have Lion OS and you should post over here:

    What OS do you have?
    Here is how to find out what version of Mac OS you are running:
    Click on the blue apple in the upper left hand of the screen.
    click on this icon
    Click on the first line, "About This Mac"
    Most of these are numbers & that's what we want.

    How do I run a windows pps program on my Iphone?

    I take you are asking about Microsoft Powerpoint here.
    If so it can't by run on an iPhone since there is no iOS version of Powerpoint available.
    A search of the App Store in iTunes will reveal that are bunches of apps that will work with Powerpoint on the iPhone.

  • HOW DO YOU CHANGE THE WINDOW SIZE OF EBUSINESS SUITE ON STARTUP

    HOW DO YOU CHANGE THE WINDOW SIZE OF EBUSINESS SUITE ON STARTUP
    How do you change the window size for Ebusiness Suite after you log in. Currently it displays at 100% of the screen. I want to set it smaller, at some %

    I don't know if there is a way to set this. Some user's may prefer different sizes of window, depending on their job duties. For example, we have 170 Systems document management integrated with purchasing and payables so users shrink the Oracle window to fill about 60% of the screen while 170 uses the remaining 40% to display the scanned document.

  • Can you run a windows only Photoshop plugin on a Mac using Parallels?

    Can you run a windows only Photoshop plugin on a Mac using Parallels?   In particular a .8BF plugin like PTFilters.8BF  or Super Cubic.

    If you also have a Photoshop version of the Photoshop application, the answer is of course YES.
    Otherwise, the answer is no,
    If you have the CC subscription, then of course you can install a Photoshop Windows version and run your plug-in.  That'll be separate from your Photoshop Mac install..

  • HT5610 How can You authorise your Windows Vista computer??? I do not get this drop down menu nowI cannot get this here, have been trying for hours, why is this so uncooperative? My first impression of I tunes is not so good after that.

    How can you authorise your windows vista computer to play stuff you downloaded from itunes???  I cannot get this drop down menu shown on your support pages whatever I do.    I have been trying for ages.  This is not a good first impression.

    Authorize a Mac or PC
    Review the following before you authorize a computer:
    You can authorize up to five computers with your Apple ID.
    You must authorize your computer to download past purchases, use Home Sharing, or use the Automatic Downloads setting.
    You can play unprotected music that's in the AAC file format without authorizing your computer. This includes iTunes Plus tracks and content  from sources other than the iTunes Store, like your audio CDs.
    To authorize a computer, follow these steps:
    Open iTunes.
    Choose Store > Authorize This Computer from the menu bar.
    You may need to show the menu bar to see this option in Windows.     In earlier versions of iTunes, you can access this option from the Advanced menu.
    Enter your Apple ID and click Authorize.
    If your Apple ID uses an expired MobileMe account, you can still authorize your computer.
    In some cases, iTunes may ask you to authorize the computer again. iTunes should use the same authorization as before if the computer is in your  list of authorized computers.
    Learn what to do if iTunes repeatedly asks you to authorize when you try to play your content.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1420
    Note : If you are Unable to see the Store Tab on your iTunes then click anywhere on your iTunes and press
    Ctrl + B key on your keyboard once and you should be able to see the Store tab in your iTunes.

  • How do you get the Windows side on a Mac?

    How do you get the Windows side on a Mac?

    There is no Windows side on a Mac unless you install a version of Windows in a virtual machine or use Boot Camp to partition the drive and install Win 7 (if you are using a Macbook Pro that came with OS X Lion installed).
    If you use a virtual machine you can install just about any version of Windows that you have a retail disc of and a legal license key to go with it.

  • How do you run apps on creative cloud? I can't seem to run them or see them on my desktop

    How do you run apps on creative cloud? I can't seem to run them or see them on my desktop

    Hi JasonLuong,
    You will have to go to www.creative.adobe.com and login with your Adobe Id on which you have purchased the subscription.
    You can go to the download center and then start downloading all the cc apps available. It will first download and install the Creative cloud desktop tool in your computer. This creative cloud desktop will show you the option to download all the CC programs, the updates, etc.
    Thanks

  • How do you run a full virus scan

    How do you run a full virus scan on the Imac

    Take a look at this article:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phishing
    Running a virus scan would not help at all - someone got your email address and is now hoping you're dumb enough to use the links they provided and give them information so they can use your credit card or checking acount number, password, etc.
    I would change my user name and password immediately (if not sooner!!) - make it difficult to guess. Do it at least with the bank involved; however, to be safe, it wouldn't hurt doing it with others as well.

  • HT5246 How do you run the Flashback malware removal tool?

    How do you run the Flashback malware removal tool?
    Thanks

    I am away from my computer and it is somewhat awkward to reply on an iPad.
    > I had already done what softwater instructed. I've read that it deletes itself on other threads, but it's still in my Finder as a Device. That's what confused me, because it doesn't appear to have deleted itself.
    Sorry, I wasn't clear. That is not the tool. It is the .dmg image mounted to your desktop. Next to the name you will see a small eject icon. Click on it or highlight it and choose "Eject" from the appropriate Finder menu. Once that happens you can drag the .dmg file to the trash as it will not delete itself.
    > I only recently upgraded to Snow Leopard and then Lion, in quick succession. My understanding is that there were (are) variants that would have infected my computer prior to my upgrading my OS to Lion. Before the upgrade, they were Adobe, but afterward they were Java. Could it be that be that the pop-ups were/are some other variant?
    Difficult to say for certain. Apple says it deletes all the common variants but does not specify which and I haven't seen the results of any testing done to verify that it finds and deletes those. The only dialogs that appeared with the initial variants were for FlashPlayer. They are depicted in the descriptions for Flashback-A on F-Secures site if you want to take a look. There have been none that I am aware of for Java, so that is probably either a web page or application that needs Java to run giving you that alert.
    > If the Flashback malware removal tool didn't find anything and my Software Update is current, does that mean the vulnerability has been fixed? At least for now? I understand that I Software Update will prompt downloads in the future if and when it needs to be patched again.
    The vulnerability is in Java, nowhere else, so if you don't have it installed there was nothing to fix.
    If you download Java in the future it will be the latest version Apple has available at the time, which hopefully will not be subject to exploitation, yet...
