Is there a way to run a program designed for PC on my Mac?

I would like to use the Firearms Management System offered by one of my suppliers on my Mac but the only operating system shown to use is with is Windows. Is there a way to run it on my iMac?

Sure, many:

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 Fusionand 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 a new 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.

Is There a Way to Run a Redo log for a Single Tablespace?

I'm still fairly new to Oracle. I've been reading up on the architecture and I am getting the hang of it. Actually, I have 2 questions.
1) My first question is..."Is there a way to run the redo log file...but to specify something so that it only applies to a single tablespace and it's related files?"
So, in a situation where, for some reason, only a single dbf file has become corrupted, I only have to worry about replaying the log for those transactions that affect the tablespace associated with that file.
2) Also, I would like to know if there is a query I can run from iSQLPlus that would allow me to view the datafiles that are associated with a tablespace.
Thanks

1) My first question is..."Is there a way to run the
redo log file...but to specify something so that it
only applies to a single tablespace and it's related
files?"
No You can't specify a redolog file to record the transaction entries for a particular tablespace.
In cas if a file gets corrupted.you need to apply all the archivelogs since the last backup plus the redologs to bring back the DB to consistent state.
>
2) Also, I would like to know if there is a query I
can run from iSQLPlus that would allow me to view the
datafiles that are associated with a tablespace.Select file_name,tablespace_name from dba_data_files will give you the
The above will give you the number of datafiles that a tablespace is made of.
In your case you have created the tablespace iwth one datafile.

Is there a way to run Windows programs on an Ultra SPARC 64-Bit Solaris 10?

I know the answer is more than likely going to be no, but I just thought I would ask...
I have an Sparc Ultra-60 running Solaris 10 64-Bit sitting here that is a web / forum / ftp server, and I would like to run a Telnet BBS program on it that is a Windows x86 based software.
I know WINE will run on OpenSolaris, but I don't know and I have searched high and low on the internet for the answer, so I came to the experts! :)
Have a great weekend.!

Hello Charles,
I have an Sparc Ultra-60 running Solaris 10 64-Bit sitting here that is a web / forum / ftp server, and I would like to run a Telnet BBS program on it that is a Windows x86 based software.
you might be able to get one of these SunPCi add-in boards. These are boards with thieir own CPU, memory, sound circuty and graphics chip (shared memory), later ones with network port but no own mass storage (the disk is emulated by a file on the Solaris filesystem). A full copy of the supported Windows operating system (the last generation supported Windows XP) is required (the installer depends on the layout of the retail copy). Depending on the ages/version of the board the CPU range from AMD K5 300/400 MHz, Celeron 600/700 to AMD K6 with over 1 GHz.
Unfortunately the first 2 generations (SunPCi and SunPCi II/Pro) don't directly support Solaris 10 (a file from the SunWSPCi package had to be modified to get the software installed) and the last generation SunPCi III/Pro requires a patch to work in 2010. The SunWSPCi packages that came with the boards are outdated and Oracle removed the packages from the download center.
The documentation for these boards is still available on docs.sun.com (enter the following in google "SunPCi +site:docs.sun.com").

Is there a way to run Motion and Final Cut Pro on Separate Machines?

Is there a way to run Motion and Final Cut Pro from the same Final Cut Studio license on separate machines? We hadn't realised when we bought Final Cut Studio that it wouldn't allow this. Our editor doesn't use motion, and while I mainly use After Effects on our motion graphics machine, I was wanting to try using motion for some particle effects. Unfortunately, it won't let me open it while Final Cut is running on our editor's machine. I can understand not letting two copies of same application run under the same serial number at the same time, but it would be nice to be able to use both programs that we own concurrently. At very least it would be good to warn you that this isn't possible in the product description, not in some fine print license agreement once you have already bought the software.
-Matt

I do not know of any software, in any platform that can operate from the same license over a network simultaneously.This is the exact reason for the existence of Volume Licensing. If for example a project ran in each one of the included applications from different sources that were not an active network, I doubt you would have a problem.Like, doing a project at work and geting the outcome with the Powerbook at home...Sorta!

Is there any way to run Classic on an Intel mini running Tiger?

Due to space limitations, I'm having to retire my old faithful Powermac 6500. It's hard to believe that it's 10 years old. It's running OS8.6, and can run OS9 even though it seems slow and memory intensive.
Is there any way to run Classic mode on my Intel Core Duo mini? It's hardly a matter of life and death, but I still have several older Mac-based games like Railroad Tycoon II and Myst that I enjoy, and they won't run on the newer mini.
If space wasn't a problem, I would keep the old machine running just to play games, but it's not possible now.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thank you,
-Bill

The only way is to install (free) emulator programs such as BasiliskII or SheepShaver.
I have both installed, though I only use them to run older programs to rescue old data from obsolete formats.
Installing and configuring them is not trivial, unfortunately.
Links here:
http://basilisk.cebix.net/
http://gwenole.beauchesne.info/projects/sheepshaver/
I don't know if either is suitable for the kind of games you want to play. Graphics is typically where emulators fall behind. But again, I have no experience with those games.

Is there a way to run Internet Explorer on a Mac mini with mountain lion?

I need to access a professional website that only works with IE (don't get me started on THAT) I need to do billing using this site so need to have full functionality. Is there a way to run IE on my mac mini with mountain lion?

The key takeaway here is that yes, you can access Windows 7 (and IE 9) from OS X Mountain Lion.
The crucial question is about your workflow. If you need concurrent access to both Windows 7 and Mountain Lion, then the Bootcamp solution included with Mountain Lion would not be the right choice. You would need one of the virtualization solutions.
If you need helpdesk support from a paid product, rather than entirely from a community forum, then the latest Parallel's Desktop or VMware would be a matter of choice, with Parallel's the better decision at this point. Either of these products are under $100, in addition to the cost of a Windows 7 license. You may need the Windows 7 installation media as an .ISO file, rather than on DVD. Check requirements.
By example, I use Oracle's VirtualBox (free) on Mountain Lion, with a Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit guest. The interactive and network performance of this Windows guest are more than adequate on my 2011 mini. I assigned 3 GB memory and 2 of 4 processor threads to the Windows 7 guest. I also restricted guest CPU use to 80%. VirtualBox is installed on my SSD, but the Windows guest is on an external HDD. That is not a default configuration. There are multiple choices for display; from full-screen 1920x1200 (mine) to an isolated resizeable window, to seamless integration with OS X. The Apple keyboard, bluetooth devices (trackpad/mouse), and printer all are recognized. I also have a shared OS X folder with VirtualBox, and copy/paste integration.
I use VirtualBox as it meets my support (forum) and functional requirements.
Best wishes,

Nevermind, I got it working.
I ended up extracting the new vob within MPEG Streamclip, which gave me an m2v and an aiff audio. I multiplexed those two back together in FFMpegX which gave me a complete VIDEO_TS folder with BUP and IFO files I needed.

Is there a way to run a external ssd with my mid 2011 iMac hdd in a raid configuration and basically have a fusion drive

is there a way to run a external ssd with my mid 2011 iMac hdd in a raid configuration and basically have a fusion drive

A Fusion Drive is not a RAID; it's a CoreStorage logical volume group. While it's technically possible to do as you suggest, there would be little or no benefit from it.

Is there a way to force a program closed on a Mac Pro?

Is there a way to force a program to close like you can using the Task Manager in Windows?
I have Motion 5 that seems to lock up showing the spinning wheel like it thinks like it is doing something in the background. Unfortunately, It happens when I haven't tried to do anything. It seems to go on for ever. The only way I've been able to get out of it if to reboot the computer but I lose all my work in doing so.

Is there a way to increase the font size in the sidebar of Mac mail and the Finder when running OS 10.6.8?

The only way to increase the size of the onscreen text in the Finder Menu Bar and in the Side bar in Finder Windows is to change the screen resolution in the OS X Preferences Pane under the Displays icon.

No need to worry about the disk version. You would just have to install an update anyway as soon as it was installed. Download from the link provided below and use the serial number you have to activate.

If you want to access to the Windows Taskbar, you should call some Win32 APIs and JNI. Refer to Win32 references.

I hope there is a solution to this problem note that I can not use the iPad now

Your question makes no sense and I'm not sure if you typed very quickly and autocorrect went nuts on you, or if you are not a native English speaker and Google Translate didn't work properly. If you are saying that you forgot the passcode to unlock the iPad, follow the instructions here.

Is there a way to run an earlier version of OSx on mavericks

I have some hardware from work that can only run on OSX.6 or lower, but my mac has OSX.9. Is there a way to run OSX.6 on my machine to accomodate the work hardware?

If your computer shipped with Lion or above, no, except for running Mac OS X Server inside a product such as VirtualBox, Parallels Desktop, or VMware Fusion. Note that an emulated OS is unlikely to work with that component; the same thing which allows it to boot(no direct access to hardware), probably will prevent it from using the device.
