The new apple machines are built round and Intel processor, therfore there machines can run Windows, either boot into it, or in parallel with Mac OSX. In each case, you have to supply the Windows OS. To boot into Windows you'll need Bootcamp from Apple: http://www.apple.com/macosx/bootcamp/, to run it paralleel you'll need Parallels http://www.parallels.com/
So the question is: Will Windows run your DOS programs?

  • I just got a new computer. I need to install CS6 to my new computer but don't have my serial number and my old computer will not download and install crative cloud!

    I just got a new computer. I need to install CS6 to my new computer but don't have my serial number and my old computer will not download and install crative cloud!   HELP!!!!!!!

    In this complicated case, I think it's important that you get your work in.
    The Photography Plan includes Lightroom 5 and Photoshop CC. Open an account with them and for $10 a month you can be back in business which I think nets you more than $10. It's what I do. You can do this immediately. You get two seats and they can be either Mac or PC.
    In your spare time you can sort out the license issue and cancel the plan later on if this is fixed.
    If you don't want to go there, then you will have to call Customer Service by phone and hope they can fix this.

    I'm a user like yourself and aside from pointing you to Help docs, I have no authority to fix activation issues.
    Error "This serial number is not for a qualifying product" | CS6, CS5.5, CS5
    Find your serial number quickly
    Best of luck, whatever you do.

  • I have been getting a message saying my iPhone cannot be synced because an unknown error occurred (-50).  I have an iPhone 4, and never had this message until after I upgraded to the new OS.

    I have been getting a message saying my iPhone cannot be synced because an unknown error occurred (-50).  I have an iPhone 4, and never had this message until after I upgraded to the new OS.  Does this have something to do with icloud?

    I have the same error on both iPad & iPhone when connection is made but seems to sync when I manually sync.

  • How do I get my old printer "HP Laserjet 4mv" to work on my newer Macs with OSX?

    How do I get my old printer "HP Laserjet 4mv" to work on my newer Macs with OSX?
    There is no HP support for this old printer. I have tried to connect via ethernet (thru ethernet router), and it does not show up in printer preferences. The printer worked fine on system 9x but when I went to my new macs with system X no luck. This is a great B&W printer that prints at 18 x 24". I would like to keep it and not junk it, but its been sitting on my desk unused for some time now. Any thoughts or JUNK IT! Thanks, R.T.

    Does anyone at Apple have help for this sort of question - I too have an old printer (HP LaserJet 5MP) that I would like to keep using on my Mac. (Mac OSX 10.6.8).
    I got it working by getting a USB cord that connects to it - but every once in a while it just stops working for weeks. The mac 'sees' it and it sends the data because the printer lights start blinking but then it just doesn't do anything. Is there no one who can tell me (and raterada) how to get some new life into these old printers. I would rather not add this (and a new toner cart) to the landfill just yet. . .

  • Hello.  I have Adobe Captivate 6 and wanting to upgrade.  How can I upgrade to the new Captivate 8 since I do not have 7 or access to 7?  Doesn't make since I'd have to buy another full version opposed to simply upgrading what I have.  Please help.

    How can I upgrade Adobe Captivate 6 without purchasing the full version of the new Captivate 8?
    I'm told that the window of opportunity to upgrade to 7 was short and now that 8 is out i cannot leap from 6 to 8.  Doesn't make since that I'd have to buy a full version of a program I already own.
    Can anyone help me with a simple upgrade possibility?

    It stinks that there isn't an upgrade option from 6, but it's due to the new subscription option for Captivate which actually ends up being far cheaper for you in the long run. Captivate 7 came out a little over a year ago the upgrade for that was the same as the 7 to 8 upgrade. As the upgrade is $400 and a subscription is only $20 per month, or $240 for a year, you'll end up saving money should the next upgrade come out in another year.

  • Will any of my old displays work with the new Mac Mini

    I am thinking of getting a new Mac Mini.     What I need to know is if any of the monitor/displays I have here can bem used.
    I have two old video monitors I used to used with my old  mac mini (Samsung Symc Master 770 and old little Princeton  - VL158) , a
    n early 2006 iMac 20" (which I don't think I could use as a monitor from what I read) and an little Samsung TV with USB and HDMI connectors.,
    Can I use any of these? 
    Need new connector cords?   Mini-DVI to VGA adapter?
    Thanks

    I am a writer though  and a photographer (strictly point and shoot) for a couple of orgs.  I just don't want o run out of space.  And I hate!! slow response time.  
    Is the i5 adequate as well?
    Glad to have found an Apple guru so quickly.  May very well buc you more in the future.

  • I am planning on getting a new IMAC will my old software work on the new mac

    I am planning on buying a IMAC so will I have to replace all my software that is on my G4 running 10.5.8 ?

    Not ALL of your software, but likely some of it. Right click on an application and click "Get Info." Next to "Kind:" if it says Power PC, it will not work on a new iMac.

  • Why will Macfee Virus not work with the new version? How do I swich back to the previous version that did not have this issue?

    I selected to let Firefox install the update. After the update was done. A message came up and stated the new version of Firefox does not support the add-ons for Macfee virus software. How do I switch back to the previous version, that does support Macfee virus software add-ons? In the mean time I will have to switch back to IE until this is resolved.

    Your Anti-virus application is not disabled, just one silly little McAfee extension for Firefox.
    See McAfee for an updated version of their Firefox extension.

  • I have built a VI and then I used it as subvi it works but the front panel of subvi didn't diplay for other options

    Kindly suggest me possible errors

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Go to the VI Properties, choose Window Appearance.  The simple route would be to just use the Dialog setting.  But you can play around with the customized settings too.

  • I have been using Pages and after sleeping it will not show a cursor in a new document.  Using Lion

    I was using Pages, put the computer to sleep, and after waking it and going to Pages, it would not show a cursor in a blank document and most of the commands were grayed out.

    Carolyn,
    It seems that when you woke up you were in a Pages Layout Template, rather than the word processing template you are more accustomed to.

  • I want to purchase some music from itunes but I'm being told when I do all my old music will be removed once I add the new music

    I want to purchase more music for my ipod nano from itunes and I'm being told that if I do the cds I have put on my ipod will be deleted and all of my older music will be gone. Is this correct?

    To import your photos to iPhoto, open the app on oyur computer, then connect your iPad. wait for it to show up on the left toolbar and you can select all and import them to your iPhoto library. Drag and drop it to your desktop or wheverever you want them. Is it just photos you wanted to import?

  • The new Mac Pro (6,1) and TRIM

    With its economical internal design and limited internal expansion options, the new Mac Pro depends heavily on the speed and flexibility of Thunderbolt 2 for expansion. In the old days, we could add four HDs in the internal bays and one more under the optical drive. This also allowed us, if we used SSDs instead of HDs, to enable TRIM for other than Apple drives.
    We know that TRIM doesn't work with a USB 3.0 connection. The question is, can TRIM be enabled on an SSD connected in some fashion through Thunderbolt? I know that graphics cards can be plugged into an external PCIe expansion chassis and that eSATA SSDs, such as the OWC Mercury Accelsior_E2, can plug in too. But does having to pass through the Thunderbolt interface interfer with or prevent TRIM support? For that matter, what kind of external connection to an SSD at the other end of the Thunderbolt cable would be able to support TRIM? I'm currently using a CalDigit PCIe card which provides two eSATA external connections, and when a NewerTech Voyager Q is connected and an SSD plugged into it (like putting bread in a toaster), the drive is seen as "Rotational" in System Information, and TRIM cannot be enabled.
    Since TRIM support is important for continued performance and longer life of SSDs, is this an issue with the new Mac Pro's design philosophy?

    Hopeful but not comforting.
    With Mavericks, not all SSDs will report TRIM support, but doing a benchmark both before and after the change should confirm that TRIM is functional.
    I should see TRIM = YES and not from some benchmark.
    Thunderbolt support for TRIM is good. But Intel has as yet? never supported TRIM on an array, so not sure how that is accomplished.
    "Is" or "may" and "could" - I just  wouldn't make a "TRIM is supported by 10.8.5 and later" as it may vary by Macs that had native SATA III with PCIe support, the new Samsung controller Apple has been using. Certainly not in 5,1 Mac Pro except if and only for an Apple SSD BTO upgrade.

    The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
    If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.
