How many partitions and operating systems can you line up in BootCamp?

A quick question, hopefully with a quick answer.
How many partitions and operating systems can you line up in BootCamp?
Are we limited to just 2, or can we have more?
Say, for example, Mac, Win XP, Win Vista and Linux maybe?
Thanks in advance.

VPC does not run on Intel Macs. If you wish to use virtualization on an Intel Mac see this:
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 Pak 2 or Vista. 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, or Vista Ultimate. Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
3. VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, or Vista Ultimate. 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 a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris. It is not yet fully developed for the Mac - some features are not yet implemented - but it does work otherwise.
6. Last is Q. Q is a freeware emulator that is compatible with Intel Macs. It is much slower than the virtualization software, Parallels and VM Fusion.
Note that 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.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion.
Boot Camp is only available with Leopard. The Boot Camp Beta that was used with Tiger has expired and is no longer available for use. So contrary to the other poster's comment, Boot Camp isn't truly "free." You must purchase Leopard to get it.
You can upgrade XP to Vista without having to make any changes to the Boot Camp partition. Vista can either perform an upgrade install or erase the Windows volume before installing Vista. You don't need to do anything to change the partition via Boot Camp. However, if you need to enlarge the partition, then the only way that can be done is to first use Boot Camp to remove the partition. Then use Boot Camp to make a new, larger partition. All data from the Windows partition will be lost.

  • How many BW 7.3 systems can be connected to one HANA database?

    Hello Gurus,
    For Development,Test and sandbox environments customer likes to share one HANA database for multiple SAP BW systems.
    So how many BW 7.3 systems can be connected one HANA database (ofcourse on single HANA appliance)?

    You can connect as many systems as you want with the HANA (also 3 BWs).....The problem is, that you only have 1 system, which is able to put the data real-time into the HANA via SLT...the other systems will load their data via ETL into HANA...
    I am not aware about any such restriction. It should be possible to have as many SLT systems replicated as you like. Can you explain why only one SLT is possible?

    On How many computers and iOS devices can I download creative cloud app?
    so far it is on an iMac, an macbook pro, an iPhone , and iPad.    now it won't download onto a macbook air.

    Hi,
    see >>> http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html here >>> How many computers can I install on
    I quote: You may install software on up to two computers. These two computers can be Windows, Mac OS, or one each.
    If you install on a third computer, it will request you to de-activate on the other two computers. You can then reactivate one of the previous two computers, and use Creative Cloud apps on it.

    Can I connect more than 2 DVI or HDMI displays?
    Mac Pro supports a total of two DVI or HDMI displays when connected via the built-in HDMI port or using the Apple Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter. To connect additional DVI displays, use an active DVI adaptersuch as the Apple Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI adapter. You can connect up to six active adapter DVI displays. This requires a powered USB hub since Mac Pro offers four USB ports and you will need six to connect them all.
    However, that article says:
    Six Apple Thunderbolt Displays (27-inch), Apple LED Cinema Displays (27-inch), or third-party Mini DisplayPort displays.
    So it appears you can with active dual-link DVI adopter or monitors with a display/min displayport connection.

    I believe it's five.  It's tied to how many computers you can authorize with one iTunes account. (The same applies to music, apps, and other stuff downloaded from the iTunes Store)
    The iTunes, 5 computer limit does not apply here.  As per the license agreement, if you obtain Lion via the Mac app store, you are granted permission to install on all Snow Leopard Macs that you personally own/control.  If you have Lion pre-installed on a new Mac or obtain it via a USB key purchase method (reportedly coming in August), the license only permits use on one Mac. 

  • How many operating systems can a MacBook support?

    I wanted to know if a MacBook can support more than 2 operating systems as I wished to have a Windows OS for some applications in addition to OSX and Linux in which I have to primarily work.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    You can install as many operating systems as you want, but if you install Windows, you can't install another operating system because Boot Camp needs two volumes on the hard drive.
    I recommend you to install Linux in a virtual machine instead of on a partition if you want to use Windows

    To do this in iMovie 11. use the SHARE menu. Share your project using the Share menu and choose Export Using QuickTime.
    In the Dialog box that comes up, choose Sound to AIFF, or one of the other sound options. This will create a file that you can drag into iTubes.

  • I would like to take excel classes / tutorials (intermediate to advanced) and practice on this computer. Could someone clarify, what software and operating system is needed? Can I just use numbers? Do I need to download Excel for Macs and use Camp Boot?

    I would like to take excel classes / tutorials (intermediate to advanced) and practice on this computer. Could someone clarify, what software and operating system is needed? Can I just use numbers? Do I need to download Excel for Macs and use Camp Boot?

    Numbers is a joke compared to Excel. If I were you I would find a class/tutorial first, find out what they use (and it won't be Numbers) and see if you need the Mac or Windows version of Excel. Note that Excel is not sold as a seperate product from the Microsoft Office suites.

  • Is Lion going to be offered on a disk similar to the previous operating systems where you can get a family pack? of like 5 instals?

    Is Lion going to be offered on a disk similar to the previous operating systems where you can get a family pack? of like 5 instals?

    You don't even need the family pack anymore!  Just use the same Apple ID to connect to the App Store on each computer and upgrade... pay for it once and you can use it multiple times.  According to the Lion page on www.apple.com, this is intended, and...
    According to the App Store OS X Lion 10.7 License Agreement Section 2 Paragraph B:
    B.  License from Mac App Store.  If you obtained a license for the Apple Software from the Mac App Store, then subject to the terms and conditions of this License and as permitted by the Mac App Store Usage Rules set forth in the App Store Terms and Conditions (http://apple.com/legal/itunes/ww/) ("Usage Rules"), you are granted a limited, non-transferable, non-exclusive license:
    ( i ) to download, install, use and run for personal non-commercial use one (1) copy of the Apple Softward directly on EACH Apple-branded computer running Mac OS X Snow Leopard or OS X Snow Leopard Server ("Mac Computer") that you own or control;
    et al.
    This means that you can buy OS X Lion with your Apple ID, and any Mac you own (or have control over) that is legally defined by the license agreement can be connected by the same Apple ID and upgraded.
    Cheers.

  • How do you find out how many views and downloads a podcast has had?

    How do you find out how many views and downloads a podcast has had?

    Your question may be better placed in the "Producing Podcasts" forum instead of here in iTunes for Windows.
    I assume though (I don't produce Podcasts), that the host server (where the Podcast is downloaded from) has the option of providing that information to the Podcast's producers.
    Two points though;
    That information is likely to only be available to the producers of that Podcast, not to listeners (or competitors)
    It's almost certainly an add-on service, that needs to be paid for, in addition to the hosting service.
    If it's your Podcast, check with the host service that you use.
