Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7. 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.
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.
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.
CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows. The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
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 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 or Snow Leopard. 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.

I am sorry. I had the false impression that it was commonly known that .exe files did not run on Mac OSX natively and failed to see any constructive critique you were bringing. Maybe I am wrong. Again deepest apologies.
Unfortunately... these days... not every one is aware of this .exe fact..
Apology accepted.. and Thank You..

How to run ipad applications in mac

how to run ipad applications in mac i ahve downloaded the application in macbook air . But i do not know how to run?

It can't be done. iPads use iOS as the operating system. Macs use OS X as the operating system. iOS apps don't run on Macs and OS X apps don't run on iPads.
That's why if there is an app that has been developed for both platforms, you have to buy them separately; iOS apps from the iTunes App Store and Mac apps from the Mac App Store.

How to run presentations developed in Mac OS system 9 ?

We would like to run our old presentations. Do you have an idea how to do?

Eric, thanks a lot! Will try in according with your proposal.
Otherwise I have to find hardware for system 9 and run my old
applications on that.
Regards Torsten
2010/9/18 Erik Lord <[email protected]>:
As there's not been a Mac version of Authorware in a real long time, I think since system 8, these applications likely weren't developed on the Mac, unless Authorware 4 was used... Do you have any way of knowing for sure which version of Authorware was used to develop? Do you have the source files? If so, do those files have an extension - like .a4m, .a4p, .a5p, etc?
>
What version of OS X do these need to run on? If it can be older ones, like the first two (Tiger and Panther? I dunno, I'm always unsure of the version names) then it may be possible. However, I think the Authorware runtime simple does not work on newer versions of OS X. I'm not sure of that either, not having tested, but that's my understanding.
>
SO, what might work is:
upgrading the source to the last Authorware version - 7 - on the PC.
Package without runtime.
Get that .a7r file to a Mac
Run it through the Mac Packager
test the results.

Helps?

Yes,
You can run Windows and a few programs at the same time as OS X in a window if your willing to take a performance penalty, no heavy duty 3D games or heavy CPU needs.

Thanks in advance

Hi,
Use trasnsaction code OPPQ and goto BOM Explosion and selection depends on
Field selected
No dependent requirements are created for informational purposes for bulk material items in the plant selected. This can improve system performance.
Field not selected
Dependent requirements are created for bulk material items in the plant selected. These dependent requirements are displayed in the planned order for informational purposes only. They are not considered in the net requirements calculation; that is, they are not included in material requirements planning (MRP) and are not displayed in the stock/requirements list

HT1349 How do I transfer programs between macs without having the serial number?

I previously ordered a 2010 macbook pro and had both microsoft office and aperture pre-installed. I now have a new macbook air and am trying to transfer the two programs over. I do not have the original packaging since they came pre-installed so I am wondering how I can install them on the new mac without the serial number?

Hey kdoy071,
Thanks for the question. Moving your information with Migration Assistant should do the trick:
OS X: How to migrate data from another Mac using Mountain Lion and earlier
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4889
If you have OS X Mavericks, see this article:

Note that if your previous software is not compatible with the new system or OS, it may not function properly.

How to run repair in disk utility without a start up cd

Hello,
I have a macbook pro 2.3 GHz i5. I have run disk utility and it says that my disk needs to be repaired. It says I should insert the start up CD and then run repair but my mac book did not come with a disk. I ran disk utility because there are 247GB of miscellaneous files on my computer.
Any help gratefully received.

Lion has the 'install disk' built in.
You access it by restarting your mac and holding down the 'command' and 'r' keys. When the disk icons appear, choose the 'Recovery HD' icon. In the menu up the top, you can choose Utilities > Disk Utility.

How to sync calendars between two Macs without Mobile Me?

Is there a way to sync calendars between my wife's Mac and my Mac without Mobile Me? They are in the same house and I don't see the need to go thousands of miles and over the Internet for that purpose. Thanks.

Yes, you pretty much just drag and drop or copy and paste depending on which way you like better. It is pretty much like connecting an external hard drive. Just find the files you want and copy them over to your other computer.
This is one of my favorite features from Macs. It's very simple to do and because it's Firewire even large files transfer over very quickly.

How to have icons with a WM (without installing a whole DE)

Hi!
I was wondering if it was possible to have desktop icons with TWM/FluxBox/IceWM alone, without installing a desktop environment. As far as I know, file managers do this in DEs but then simply installing a file manager while running a WM doesn't put icons on the screen...
Thank you in advance!

Thank you guys! I actually searched not only through the wiki but tried to google it too. Now I feel sorry to have opened a thread that can be solved with a link from the wiki. Maybe I should have looked better... Nevertheless, thank you for the information.
I was trying to make a lightweight system so looks like nautilus isn't for me (as Trilby said I will need to install gnome too, which is too heavy for my goals). I will however try to make it show the files that are in /user/Desktop/ for the sake of it... I don't like leaving things halfway done! Then I will maybe move on to rox and pcmanfm but one thing is for sure - I LOVE icons and it doesn't matter how lightweight a system is, for me, it is a must to have icons
And about Tdy's responce:
I haven't thought about these icons you said. I actually wanted that everything in /user/Desktop be showed on the desktop but I sure think that those you suggested would come in handy too. I will think about them after I have finished the main task, that is - the /user/Desktop/ thing
Thank you again!

Running forms 6i on client without installed runtime !

Dear proffesionals, what do you think about code below-we tried to enable our users to run applications developed in Forms 6i, without installed runtime on their machines. Is this solutions good, and why ? We installed forms6i runtime on the server, and make batch script (with code below), and make .exe file from that. Than we send link to users with locations of that .exe file? Is this way possible to run application through VPN ?
Thanks in advance,
Adnan

In order to distribute a Forms 6i application to a client you really only have three (3) choices.
1. Install the Forms Runtime on each PC (truely distributed application).
2. Deploy the application using desktop virtualization (Citrix, etc). This option requires a Virtualization server.
3. Web Deployed. (This requires the addition of an Application server and does require some type of installation on the client (the Oracle Jinitiator), but this can be automated with the Web Deployment.) Check out this link [Forms 6i Documenation|http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/6i_forms.html] and scroll to the bottom and view the "Oracle Forms Developer Release 6i: Deploying Forms Applications to the Web with Oracle Forms Server" document.
Hope this helps.

How to run the form that is only installed on a PC and not using a server?

Hi
I am new to Oracle and have taken the forms class. But I do not understand how to run the form from my PC using XP windows. (Do not have access to a server).
I have started the OC4J, made sure the listener was started, compiled the form and then when I run it, it automatically goes to the HTTP:
ERROR: res://ieframe.dll/acr_depnx_error.htm#,http://kevin:8889/forms/frmservle
I connected to the database correctly. I can process a report and it does nor try to access the internet. My only issue is running the form. I verified it compiled.
Sorry for a basic question. Could someone please help, I tried reviewing other questions, but not sure if they are connecting to a server or not.
I see webutil but is it required if I don't have a server? Thank you in advance.

Regardless of the version, it appears that you may not have configured the Builder. Do the following:
1. Open the Builder
2. From the menu, select Edit > Preferences > Runtime
3. In the box labeled "Application Server URL:", enter a local URL needed to run a form OR click the button labeled "Reset to Default". If you decide to manually enter a value, it would looks something like this:
http://localhost:8889/forms/frmservlet
4. In the field labeled "Web Browser Location:", enter the path and executable to your preferred browser. So for example if IE is your browser of choice the entry would most likely look like this:
C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE
5. Click on OK and retest.
By the way, you can manually enter a URL in the browser. Clicking the RunForm button from the Builder is strictly optional. To run the "test" form directly from the browser enter the following into the browser's address field:
http://localhost:8889/forms/frmservlet?form=test
