I need Parallel advice, will I be able to...

I just bought a iMAC and want to use Parallel to load Windows Vista next month. Will I be able to:
1-Transfer data from my old PC to Windows on the Mac using transfer s/w such as Laplink or Intellimover?
2-Will the OS and Vista both recognize the same USB connected printer.
3-Will I be able to fax from WinFax s/w using the MAC ext modem.
4- Any other things I should look out for.
I keep reading that Parallel has some interface problem and I'm trying to plan ahead.
iMAC   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

not sure about 1. 2 or3 but I had problems installing XP on Parallels
I would purchase it online the version I bought at the Mac store was the wrong
build, even though it said for Intel based Mac's on the box. I emailed Parallels
and they set me a link to the correct build and everything is fine now.

  • I was in the middle of the latest update and my iPhone now says it needs to restored will I be able to back it up first. I have photos on it I can NOT loses

    I was in the middle of the latest update and my iPhone now says it needs to restored will I be able to back it up first. I have photos on it I can NOT lose

    It should have backed up automatically at the start of the update process. And you should be saving photos from your phone to your computer regularly, just like you would with any digital camera. If you were not doing this you MAY lose the photos, but if your backup at the start of the update was successful you will not. Just DO NOT sync after the update, until you have restore the backup and verified that it is OK.
    What error message did you get during the update? Before you restore do the following:
    Reboot your computer
    Connect to a USB port on the computer directly, not a hub
    disable your antivirus and firewall
    Launch iTunes
    Finally, connect the phone and restore.

  • I need to upgrade Snow Leopard to get icloud before my mobileme expires at the end of June.  If I buy Lion, will I be able to upgrade to Mountain Lion free when it comes out?  When is MLion going to be released in UK?

    I am running Snow Leopard and have a Mobile Me account.  My Mobile Me account expires at the end of June.  I have been told that I will need to buy the Lion upgrade to run icloud on my imac, but I am aware that Lion is due to be replaced by Mountain Lion this summer.  I don't want to have to buy two up grades!  Will Mountain Lion be released before my mobile me account expires?  If not and I buy the Lion upgrade, will I be able to upgrade it to Mountain Lion, free, in view of the fact that I will only have had Lion for a very short time and could not avoid this purchase??????

    HI...
    We have no way of knowing exactly when Mountain Lion will be released. Most likely, if you upgrade to Lion now you'll be able to upgrade to Mountain Lion, but the actual minimum requirements are unknown at this time.
    Lion is only $29.99 plus any applicable taxes and fees and available from the App Store, or you can purchase the thumb drive > OS X Lion USB Thumb Drive - Apple Store
    Make sure your Mac meets Lion's requirements.
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space

  • If I do a clean install on my MacBook Pro will I be able to re-install apps (FCP, Aperture, MS Office etc.) from a Time Machine backup, or will I need the original install DVDs with authorization codes?

    I have two questions...
    1) If I do a clean install on my MacBook Pro will I be able to re-install apps (FCP, Aperture, MS Office etc.) from a Time Machine backup, or will I need the original install DVDs with authorization codes? (because I don't have them)
    2) Has anyone ever seen anything like this before on their computers?
    The Apple Genius' were stumped by my laptop issues and said they'd never seen anything like it before and recommended I did a clean install. Below you can see my trash bin, and if you look at the "Empty" button it reads "N201" and then there's the "N39" to the left of it. You can also see these numbers over by the folder area--"SD5, SD6, SD7." But that's not all...
    When I right click on items I see the numbers again. Instead of "Open with" I get "N152" and there's an "N35" and "LB1" towards the bottom.
    I have no idea what's going on so I'm just going to do a clean install on my machine but I don't want to lose my apps. I don't have the original install DVDs for them anymore. If you have any suggestions please let me know. Thanks!

    You don't lose them.  You can always redownload them from the app store after you log back in with your Apple ID.
    "Buy, download, and even redownload.
    You can install apps on every Mac you use and even download them again. This is especially convenient when you buy a new Mac and want to load it with apps you already own."

  • I have an iPhone 3gs and will be getting a new iPhone 4s. Once I have updated my existing 3gs with iCloud and backed up to my computer, will I be able to transfer my existing data to my new 4s using iCloud or will I need to do this from my iMac.

    Thanks

    The Apple genius at the Apple store told me this would work. It failed. Basically, updating your iPhone 3GS to iOS5 wipes your 3GS of its data so you can't really do this. Some data worked. Music, photos etc didn't work at all.
    I suggest avoiding iCloud completely for a few weeks until Apple gets it working.

  • I got a message that it needs to upgrade my library, once upgraded, i will not be able to use this library. Will I lose all my photos?

    I got a message that Aperture needs to upgrade my library, once upgraded, I will not be able to use this library. Will I lose all my photos? Please help!

    I got a message that Aperture needs to upgrade my library, once upgraded, I will not be able to use this library.
    Photogirl, that surely is only half of the alert message. You will not lose your photos; this message is alerting  you to the fact, that there will be no way back. Once the library has been upgraded, you will no longer be able to open it in the previous Aperture version. So, if you have other macs with older Aperture versions, these will no longer be able to read your converted Aperture library.
    When you see an alert like this, it is always wise to check, if your backup is current, before you proceed. Make sure, you have a working backup of your Aperture library, and also, of your current version of Aperture, just in case.

  • HT201472 I tried to find my iPad through find my iPad device on my iPhone It says device is offline I am also given option to lock the iPad ZIf I do that will I be able to find the device? Will it need to go online  and not do so once I lock it in lost mo

    I am trying to find my lost iPad using my iPhone and the findmyipad application
    My iPad is listed but cannot be located now because it is not connected to Internet
    I have option to lock the iPad in lost mode If I do that I fear that will make it impossible for the iPad to go online and thus Renee the application to find it useless Please advise

    You cannot lock or find the device until it comes online. You can schedule a lock sequence to be sent once the device is online. That's it. Furthermore, if whoever finds the device completely erases it, then even when it comes online you will not be able to track it.
    What To Do If Your iDevice Is Lost Or Stolen
    If you activated Find My Phone before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if Wi-Fi is enabled on the device. What you cannot do is track your device using a serial number or other identifying number. You cannot expect Apple or anyone else to find your device for you. You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty.
    If your iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should have done in advance - before you lost it or it was stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:
    This link, Re: Help! I misplaced / lost my iPhone 5 today morning in delta Chelsea hotel downtown an I am not able to track it. Please help!, has some good advice regarding your options when your iDevice is lost or stolen.

  • Trip to Spain.  Can iPad work on Spanish wifi?  Will I be able to check US email accounts a will there be any special charge?  Do I need to take a special charger?  Thanks.

    Trip to Spain.  Can iPad work on Spanish wifi?  Will I be able to check US email accounts a will there be any special charge?  Do I need to take a special charger?  Thanks.

    The wifi will work just fine. There will be no charge for accessing your email from across the pond the only fee could potentially be for wifi access. The few trips I have taken to Europe I found some of the hotels charge for Internet access. Your charger that came with your iPad accepts 110-220 volts (220 is used in Europe ). All you will need is an plug adaptor for your charger and you will be good to go. You can buy the appropriate plug adaptor at any electronics store for a few $. Don't let them talk you into a transformer to change the voltage unless you will be bringing other plug in items that don't accept 220v.
    One thing to be careful of is if you have a cell phone turn it off or put it into airplane mode and just turn on the wifi. Data roaming from Europe could easily cost you more that the plane tickets.
    Have a good trip.

    I'm need to sell my MacBook and need to back up all my files including itunes will I be able to do so using an external hard drive?

    To copy your current hard drive I like the free application Carbon Copy Cloner. It makes a bootable copy of everything on your hard drive http://www.bombich.com/index.html  Check that it's set up right by booting up from the external drive.

    Yes, though if the drive is formatted as NTFS, Mac OS X will not be able to write to the drive without you either installing third-party NTFS drivers or reformatting the drive.

  • I forgot to back-up my information (pictures, excel documents) on MAC before installing boot camp and Windows.  I am mid-way through the process, at the point where I need to install the drivers. Will i be able to retrieve my documents on MAC or not?

    I forgot to back-up my information (pictures, excel documents) on MAC before installing boot camp and Windows.  I am mid-way through the process, at the point where I need to install the drivers. Will i be able to retrieve my documents on MAC and finalizing the Windows 7 installation (for the 1st time) or not?
    I am worried that  may lose my information... Appreciate any feedback! Note: already half-way in the process of installing!

    Yes, IF you picked the right partition, as in the Boot Camp partition. If everything is done right you should be able to boot into the Mac side.
    If you already booted into Windows and are at the point of installing the Boot Camp Drivers your already done installing Windows! Yea! All you need to do is just install the drivers and everything should work normal.
    The Windows partition and the Mac partition are seen as two different HD's now as far as the computer knows.
    You can use the Boot Camp control panel in Windows to boot into the Mac side and the Startup Disk in System Preferences on the Mac to switch to Windows. If you can't then press and hold down the Option key untill you get the boot screen.
