How to Perform an Archive and Install
An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

How can I run 2 Mac Systems on an iMac using VMWare Fusion
Hello,
- I'm using an iMac, system 10.10.2.
- I bought VMWare Fusion 7.1.1.
I would like to use VMWare on my iMac (Yosemite) and run another Mac OS (10.7.5) in parallel by using VMWare. I have no idea how to do this, I don't even know if it's even possible.
The operating systeme 10.7.5 is installed on another Mac of mine (a Mac Book Air). I made a carbon copy of the whole operating system.
My aim is to be able to jump from my iMac (running OS 10.10.2 with VMWare Fusion installed) to a virtual Mac OS 10.7.5 (the carbon copy of my MacBookAir)
Can anyone help?
Thank you very much.Some searching at the VMware Fusion site should provide you with an answer.

How can I run my mac smoothly?
My macbook has been giving me trouble since long now. It was almost a year ago that it started to trouble me when it stopped at the apple screen at log in. I then reinstalled the Mac OS after starting it in safe mode. But it gave me the same trouble after some months and has still been giving me trouble. Now i cannot even update my mac os software. The mac runs extremely slow. Some times i have to wait 30 mins just to launch an application. could some body please help me
Thanks Mike! This seems to help a lot. Earlier yesterday i tried to update my software and I had to update individual components of the package to update the software. It has improved but I think it still has room for improvement. I have attatched the copy of my activity log, please do have a look at it. Any advise to improce the speed of my mac is highly appreciated.

HT1752 How can I run classic Mac games on my Mac, I am running Mac OS X.
I would like to run some of the old educational cds I have but none of them will work on my mac. I am running Mac OS X 10.6.8. I was wondering if anyone out there could post a step by step tutorial to getting old games to run. Thanks very much for any help.
Check around on the web and the manufacturers websites to see if any of those classic games have been updated or remodified to play on Intel Macs and your os.

Can Lion run on Mac Mini with 1.83 GHz and 2GB RAM?
Hey guys!
at first, sorry for my may bad english.
After years of windows strangulation i want to upgrade to a mac. but, there is a tiny problem: i dont have enough money for a new mac mini cause i'm a student und things like that.
But i have enough money to buy me a mac on eBay . Maybe a "old" mac mini, but its a mac. On eBay germany (my homeland) i found a few mac mini's there in my budget. There's the Mac mini 2.1 with 1,83GHz and 1 GB RAM. So, i read that that dont work anyway because the RAM is to low.
Now my question: when i buy such a machine and upgrade the RAM to 2GB, would Lion run on it?
Sincere regards, Manuel from germany.
Oh and Steve, if you read that, that's fine by me if you want to donate me a old mac from you.You are in luck. The Mac Mini 2,1 is the oldest Mac Mini that with an upgrade to 2GB or 3GB will run Lion. That said. you'll want to purchase Snow Leopard while it is still available, if the machine hasn't yet been upgraded to Snow Leopard, as that is your key to get Lion installed after the RAM is upgraded. This is a user to user forum, so it is unlikely "Steve" will be viewing your post.

Why I can not run the mac software purchased from Ancestry for Family Tree Maker 2 or 4
The software would not sync with ancestry family tree macker with out crashing when trying to sync.. This was both the FTM for Mac 2 and FTM for Mac 4.
According to RoaringApps, FTM is not known to be compatible with Mavericks. I would contact the developer.

Can I run the new Mac pro (6.1) with only one stick of ram?
Will that cause any problems. And if not how much will the overall quality be affected. it won't be a permanent solution, but for a few weeks at least. So can it happen? Can I run the Mac pro 2013 with only one memory stick?
Per this

the 2013 Mac Pro is the only MP that can use a single stick of memory. -
Installed lion and can't run office!
Hi, I installed Lion in my laptop. Now I can't run office:mac products. when I click on icons or docs I get redirected to iworks.
Has someone found a solution to this that does not imply purchasing yet more software??MlchaelLAX wrote:
If you are unable to upgrade your Microsoft Office products consider installing Snow Leopard (and Rosetta) into Parallels 7 in Lion and run Microsoft Office 2004 concurrently:
Some people have expressed compatibility problems with data files from 2004 when opened in MS Office 2008 or 2011.
For example, I have an important spreadsheet with a chart created in Excel 2004 that when opened in Excel 2011, the chart is completely unusable. I continue to use this file weekly and I do so with Excel 2004 in my Parallels 7 Snow Leopard Environment with ease.

How do i run an external monitor with my macbook and change settings so that when i close the lid the signal to the monitor is not lost and i can continue using the mac with a mouse and a wireless keyboard?
No, nothing will prevent the computer from going to sleep when you close its display except third-party hacks that are designed to do exactly that. I strongly advise against using any of those, as they may interfere with successful entry into clamshell mode (and they carry other downside risks as well). Just wait until the computer is asleep (with its sleep light pulsing), then press any key on the keyboard. It sounds as though your setup is working as it's designed to do.

You run Windows in Parallels or Fusion. Then in Windows you install the program.

I am running a Mac Powerbook G4 OSX 10.5.8 1.33 GHz and can't get Smiebox to install, it downloads the program just fine but will not let me install it, can someone tell me why?
Hi SusieQ,
Seems they have no idea what they're doing over there, to wit...
Mac Snow Leopard and above*
In general, we recommend a multi-core processor and at least 2 GB RAM.
Connection to the Internet is required; Smilebox is optimized for a high-speed broadband connection, and that faster connection will give you the best performance.
Smilebox uses your Internet browser and Flash11 (or higher) to run. We automatically detect whether Flash is installed and will help you install the free download if need be. You will also need javascript enabled. Your internet browser and any security software (firewall, antivirus) you have on your computer may need to be configured to "allow" Smilebox internet access. Please refer our article on - I have security software (firewall or anti-virus software) that I suspect is blocking Smilebox. What can I do to fix that?
If your computer shipped with Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8 you can install run Smilebox; we do require that Windows XP computers have Service Pack 3 installed.
To run Smilebox on your Mac, your Macintosh should have an Intel or Power PC processor on a G5 or higher (if your Mac was made in the past 3 years, it should meet this requirement), 2GB or more RAM.
*Smilebox will not run on earlier versions of the Mac OS X including Leopard (10.5).
Snow Leopard is 10.6.x, no G3/G4/G5 PPC Mac can run 10.6 or above.
So this line is wrong, or two other lines about Snow Leopard are wrong....
To run Smilebox on your Mac, your Macintosh should have an Intel or Power PC processor on a G5 or higher
