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.!
--- Charles!

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 The SunWSPCi packages that came with the boards are outdated and Oracle removed the packages from the download center.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 a program designed for PC on my Mac?

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 free way to run Windows Programs on a MacBook Pro?

Hi
I am getting my first MacBook Pro tomorrow, and i am just curious as to how i could run Windows only software on it. It will only be a couple of games and music software, but i dont have the OSX version, and i dont really want to buy a new version. I'd rather get a free program that does the same thing as Paralells, but if there is any other paid software that is reliable id like to know.
Thanks

Problem is virtual machine software is about 1/5th the performance of booting directly into Windows via Bootcamp, this doesn't matter that much of your games are 2D, OpenGl driven and light weight, but 3D games you either want to direct install Windows via Bootcamp...
https://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVfRQ0YIDUI&feature=related
or better yet, get a Windows 7 64 bit tower with 4GB of RAM expandable to 8GB at least, this way you can upgrade your own video card.
3D video games advance, require video card upgrades, with the Mac platform there are either no video card upgrade ability or options. You can 3D game for a short time on a powerful Mac, but once the game gets updated your slow again and become fragbait.

If you are going both Bootcamp and virtual machine software, then I recommend VMFusion or Parallels Desktop, they have the ability to copy the installed Bootcamp Windows and use it as a another virtual machine Windows, also they have more options, ease of use and abilities than VirtualBox.
Edit: Wine is a opton, however you must check to see if the software your using will work with Wine, not a lot will or if it does it's glitchy.

Is there a way to run Windows XP or other MS software on a MAC

Hi All,
Is there a way to format a partications HD to run Windows XP of other MS software. I specifically need to run Qick Books. Quick Books for MAC does not support multiple currencies. I have to have this feature.
Thanks
Paul

I've got a 2.4MHz Macbook 7.1 & I've been using Fusion to run Windows 7 Ultimate for quite a while now. I've got Win7 all updated, it shares my Macbook's network connection just like it had its very own, shares Mac folders so that those Mac folders (or even the entire Mac file structure, if I wanted to) are accessible inside Win7, & I can Copy [Cmnd-C] & Paste [Cmnd-V] info back & forth between the two OS's by just Cmnd-Tab switching back & forth between the two. Nearly seamless integration between the two.
My Windows 7 actually works better & more problem-free on my Mac, in fact, than any Windows I've ever had running on any PC machine. Believe it or not. Just as fast too, if not faster. And I don't think I have EVER seen one of those mean nasty little Windows popup messages with text and a "So whatya wanna do, bucko?" question in 'em that only a Redmond software engineer could understand.
A couple of caveats though......
Hard drive space: Lots of it. Not knowing how much it'd take, I initially set the space my Win7 would take up on my Mac at 60GB, though Windows 7 itself is now taking up only 37GBs inside that initial 60GB allotment. I haven't yet discovered how to make that allotment size smaller, to 40GBs for example, without maybe messing something up, & I don't have the harddrive space to duplicate the 60GB file as backup. Gotta break out my external drives I guess.
And in addition to the 60Gigs of static, unchangeable space it takes up on my Mac's SSD, it uses another quarter Gig or so of my SSD's free space for its virtual memory requirements (see the Activity Monitor screenshot below).
RAM: Lots & lots of that, too. Right around 2.25GBs of Real RAM Memory it uses. I outfitted my Macbook with 8GBs though, so running Win7 along with 6 to 10 other Mac apps, including Photoshop, is usually not a problem. Close with that many other apps, but usually not a problem.
If VMWare Fusion looks like a good way to you for you to get Windows 7 running on your Mac (personally, I think it's SO cool), I'd use Craigslist to find a good deal on a copy of Fusion. And Windows 7.
Here's a Google hitlist showing a nationwide Craigslist search result for people selling VMWare Fusion disks last month & this month. Looks like $25 or so bucks is all it'd take, on average:
site:craigslist.org mac OR macintosh AND "vmware fusion" AND "intext:2012-09" OR "intext:2012-10" -macbook
Happy Mac'in!

Is there a way to run Windows 8 pro on a Retina Macbook Pro through bootcamp?

I recently purchased a copy of Windows 8 Pro to see if I could run it through bootcamp. I have a USB SuperDrive , so I thought it would be simple enough. However, I'm pretty lost on how to configure my bootcamp to work. I've aimlessly looked at tutorials and such, but none have been of much help. I know the Retina macbook lacks an optical drive, so I believed using a Super Drive would work. If anyone can shed light on this situation and help it would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, but Apple does not yet support Win8, so there are no compatible Windows drivers for the Apple hardware.

After upgrading to mountain lion i keep getting an error message saying my startup disc is full. it shouldnt be full because there is barely anything on there and i was running windows with bootcamp prior to this with no issues

after upgrading to mountain lion i keep getting an error message saying my startup disc is full. it shouldnt be full because there is barely anything on there and i was running windows with bootcamp prior to this with no issues. my computer now freezes and programs close randomly. The usual command for opening windows with bootcamp doesnt work. once in restarted my computer after it froze and it rebooted in windows automatically. i really just want to know if there is a way to take the upgrade off my laptop because it is very annoying.

Hi Memalyn
Essentially, the bare issue is that you have a 500GB hard drive with only 10GB free. That is not sufficient to run the system properly. The two options you have are to move/remove files to another location, or to install a larger hard drive (eg 2TB). Drive space has nothing to do with SMC firmware, and usually large media files are to blame.
My first recommendation is this: download and run the free OmniDiskSweeper. This will identify the exact size of all your folders - you can drill down into the subfolders and figure out where your largest culprits are. For example, you might find that your Pictures folder contains both an iPhoto Library and copies that you've brought in from a camera but are outside the iPhoto Library structure. Or perhaps you have a lot of purchased video content in iTunes.
If you find files that you KNOW you do not need, you can delete them. Don't delete them just because you have a backup, since if the backup fails, you will lose all your copies.
Don't worry about "cleaners" for now - they don't save much space and can actually cause problems. Deal with the large file situation first and see how you get on.
Let us know what you find out, and if you manage to get your space back.

How do I run Windows programs on my iMac and my MiniMac?

I have a new iMac and a new MiniMac at the office. Can I run Windows programs on these computers, such as QuickBooks? If so, how do I do it?

If you want to run MS Windows applications on your iMac and Mac Mini you need a license of MS Windows at a minimum. Then you need to decide how you want to run the apps, you can use Boot Camp which allows you to install MS Windows on your computer and then boot your computer as either a MS Windows machine or OS X machine. The advantage of this is there is no cost (except for MS Windows) as Boot Camp comes with every Mac. You will find Boot Camp Setup Assistant in (Applications - Utilities - Boot Camp Setup Assistant). The other solution is virtualization software such as Parallels or VM Ware Fusion. The advantage of virtualization software is you can run MS Windows and OS X simultaneously. This is ideal if you are not doing graphics intensive applications such as 3D gaming, CAD/CAM or 3D renderings. For applications like QuickBooks it would be great.
The downside of running MS Windows on your Mac is that portion of the computer will be susceptible to all the problems PC's have such as Virus's and other malware. So whatever solution you get you need to also get anti-virus software and other anti-malware. The upside is if Windows becomes diseased this in no way affects OS X.
Finally your best solution is to look for OS X versions of your applications. I know there is a OS X version of QuickBooks however I have no idea how Intuit's licensing works, you would need to contact Intuit to ask that question.

Running windows programs on a power mac g5

Hi i have a power mac g5 and was wondering if there was any way that i could run windows programs on it. I noticed that there was a program called parralle boot? But as i am awear you need to have an intel mac to make this work. Is there any way to make this happen for me?

Virtual PC (from Microsoft) was the way to run Windows on a PowerPC Mac. It did it by emulation, so it's not as fast as the current +virtual machine+ options, such as Parallels Desktop and VMware Fusion on Intel Macs. It should work reasonably well on a Power Mac G5, but it will still be slow compare to running Windows on a real Intel PC.
Microsoft no longer offers Virtual PC for Mac, but it is available from retailers if you search online. The last version was 7, and you can download updaters to update any version 7 release to 7.0.3.

What is the best way to run windows on my mac?

What is the best way to run windows on my mac?
I have a particular program that i need to run, and it only runs on windows. I have a macbook pro

As Templeton noted, it depends and will at least be somewhat subjective.
There are basically three options out there. You can use a Windows emulator (Wine or the commercial version of it, Crossover Office), use Boot Camp to "dual boot" or use virtualization software (Parallels, VMWare Fusion, or VirtualBox). Each has its advantages or disadvantages.
The Windows emulators have the advantage of being the one option that doesn't need the purchase of a copy of Windows. Unlike Boot Camp, but like the virtualization options, this allows you to run Windows programs and OSX programs side by side. The big problem, though, is that it is the least compatible option--a lot of Windows software either has "issues" or will not function at all. The Crossover website has information on which programs are known to work and how well they are known to work.
Boot Camp is the option that Apple ships OSX with. You'll need a copy of Windows to install into the partition. You'll effectively divide your disk into two parts and have two machines. The major advantages are, first, you don't need to acquire separate software *AND* the Windows license. As well, it's the highest performance Windows system. What you have is truly a Windows machine. That's both the good and the bad--you aren't going to be able to use OSX software at the same time, and you have to reboot to get back to OSX. I've always thought it was best for someone who likes the Apple hardware and wants to use it for a Windows box--in that case Boot Camp is clearly a great solution.
Finally there's virtualization which seems to be the most popular way to handle Windows, especially if you need to run one vertical market package. It has the advantage of allowing you to use your OSX software at the same time, and the virtualization gives an extremely high level of compatibility. About the only thing that won't run is a virtualization package (and there's not a lot of reason to run that in a Windows VM). There is a performance hit compared to Boot Camp, but it's minimal for all but the most demanding applications (that being high end games).
It will chew up RAM on the OSX machine, but if you have at least 4 GB of RAM it will probably be manageable, especially if you only need to run one Windows program.
You will need both a virtualization program (there are three major ones) and purchase Windows. Two of three programs are commercial packages (Parallels and VMWare Fusion), while the other is an open source option (VirtualBox). Virtual Box has the advantage of being free, but it's by far the least polished of the group.
Which way is best? As was noted, it depends. I run VMWare Fusion on my machines, and I have used CrossOver Office for limited purposes. I've not yet seen, in my use pattern, a reason to go to Boot Camp but I certainly can see cases where it might make sense.

PLSQL WANTS TO RUN WINDOWS PROGRAM FROM PLSQL PROCEDURE

WANTS TO RUN WINDOWS PROGRAM FROM PLSQL PROCEDURE.
I want to run EXE file from pl/sql program , i have tried host it does
work in pl/sql .
Is there any Solution to this problem
Thank you

Hi,
It sounds like what you are trying to do, is run one mapping in a pre-mapping process of another mapping. You use a wrapper that implements sqlplus_exec_template.sql in PL/SQL. Is that correct?
I don't think that by the way you execute this mapping, it ends up in the context of the process flow. The reason is because according to Warehouse Builder the mapping is being invoked standalone (through the wrapper that implements the template). As a result, the context in which Warehouse Builder would log the messages is lost.
What I suggest you do (assuming I understand the problem correctly), is run the mapping as a separate mapping in the process flow. Because in the current release we do not support passing output parameters in the process flow, you will have to (temporarily) store the results of the first mapping in a table and pick it up from there in the other mapping. In the next major release (autumn 2004) we will support passing parameters between activities.
Thanks,
Mark.

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 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,

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.
