Mac formatted i pod - windows operating system
I just received a new ipod that my friend programmed with many tunes. When I tried to upload them - via the docking station - to my PC, the message told me the ipod was mac formatted and that I should reset to factory settings. Problem is that I lose all the songs!. Anyway around this??
Help please.
Windows 2000
Windows cannot natively recognize a Mac-formatted drive, including an iPod. You'd have to purchase third-party drivers, such as MacDrive, to get your Windows system to recognize your iPod.

Can a mac pro have a windows operating system?
just wondering if a mac pro be able to have windows it's primary operating system?
I NEVER use BCA
Put Windows on its own drive and remove everything
the only purpose/use for BCA is to download the drivers you will want to have that get installed after Windows is running - it works without also.
So what I do is pull OS X drive, have Windows 8, data and backup drive, and clone Windows to #4th using Paragon (bootable) or slip ini an old Windows 7.
Yes can be 100% Windows, and you can have mulitple Windows boot drives, run VMs under Windows also. -

Can i back up my mac and windows operating system on the one hard drive?
Hello everyone, i use a 4TB external hard drive to back up my imac. I recently installed Parallels and Windows 8.1 so I can run a PMS for my business. Now that i have installed Parallels and windows 8.1 on the mac can i format the drive so it will back up the mac and the windows operating system? Thanks!
If you want to back up with Time Machine, you need a GUID partition table and an HFS (Mac OS X) partition. If you can also create a Windows partition without destroying the partition table, then you can use the same drive for both systems. I can't give you specific instructions for Windows.

HT5639 Are there inherent security risks for installing windows operating systems on a mac?
Just wondering if I use "bootcamp" and install Windows operating system and find out one of the main reasons I switched to a Mac is because of security issues. I also need to know if I can operate the Mac version of "Microsoft Office" without installing the Windows Operating System.
Thanks tech savvy people!
-Navigate100Windows concerns are in Windows, OS X in OS X. They do not co-exist because only one system is operational at a time.
Office 2011 is the OS X version of the suite. Look for it here. -
2 inDesigns one one computer. Mac and windows operating systems
i have a creative cloud membership through my company and we work on a IMac but a particular program we use called DirectSmile, only works on the windows side in conjunction with inDesign. We have Parallels installed on our computer and a creative suite installed on the Mac side of one computer. Can i get inDesigned installed on the Windows side of this one computer. Basically, Can in get 2 versions on inDesign installed on one computer? One for the Mac operating system and one for the Windows operating system?
Presuming you haven't already installed and activated a second time on some other computer....

This is going to sound dumb but I just got a call from someone claiming to be with Microsoft Windows tech dept. Apparently something malicious attacking my computer. I hung up because Mac doesn't use Microsoft Window Operating System - right? I have Mac OS X. I have loaded Microsoft Office 2011. Can that allow something malicious or is this guy a scammer and I was right to hang up???
Actually you can install Windows on your MBP via Bootcamp.
You should have kept the individual on the phone for as long as you can tolerate. The time he wastes with you is time he cannot spend scamming an innocent victim.
You can always politely ask the caller to hold while you 'answer the front door' or the like and just set down the phone and go about your business. The caller will eventually hang up.
But your analysis was 100% correct.

My ipod is formatted for my powerbook itunes the trouble is i have itunes also on a pc that has a different music library and iwant to be able to add the pc library to my ipod without having to re-format it to windows and loose all my data.I do not have access to my mac so iwill not be able to back my data up to the mac. Thanks
If your iPod is formatted for Mac it won't run natively on a PC because Windows operating systems don't recognize Mac OS-formatted disks (HFS or HFS Plus formats). There are third party programs that will allow you to use a Mac formatted iPod on Windows. XPlay for instance gets good reviews and has the added functionality to let you copy your songs back to iTunes. Once you have your songs saved to the PC you can go ahead and restore the iPod for Windows. You can purchase XPlay at this link: XPlay 3

It all depends on what your useage of Windows will be, for playing games install it in BootCamp, for word processing, spreadsheets, email. browsing etc a virtual Machne will be fine. -
Using Microsoft.UpdateServices.ClientServicing apis on windows operating systems.
Hi,
I am willing to use some apis from "Microsoft Update Services", but MSDN says that ,
`This namespace is used in combination with the Microsoft.UpdateServices.Administration namespace to support updates for clients using operating systems other than Windows (for example, the Windows Mobile operating system).`
Does that mean that i cannot use the apis on windows Operating systems (eg. Desktop OS)
Thanks,
Suraj K.There are two namespaces in the WSUS API:
Microsoft.UpdateServices.Administration - which is used to manage the WSUS server
Microsoft.UpdateServices.ClientServicing - which (as you've noted) is designed to support custom written agents on systems other than Microsoft Windows -- a facility mostly pointless since the SDP schema used to package updates only supports
Microsoft Windows executable file formats -- but theoretically it could have been used to support a Windows Mobile 6.x agent, or could even be used to support a Windows RT agent (if only the RT executables could be packaged into a WSUS package).
If you want to leverage existing Windows systems (i.e. the Desktop OS) talking to existing Microsoft patch management systems (e.g. AU, WU, MU, or WSUS), you'll actually need to write to the
Windows Update Agent API which is a COM interface.

Photo Elements 12 editor shuts down when I select enhance>Photomerge>Panorama. I am using Mac Book Pro with Yosemite operating system. Otherwise, the program preforms properly. Any suggestions?
When you see a beachball cursor or the slowness is especially bad, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.
These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Scroll back to the time you noted above.
Select the messages entered from then until the end of the episode, or until they start to repeat, whichever comes first.
Copy the messages to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of it useless for solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.

Is it legal to use Macintosh virtual machine hosted by Windows operating system? If yes, please suggest recommended hardware and license cost?

I thought that at least some version of OSX could not be VM in Mavericks, but if you say it is allowed so be it.
There are some people who dispute the details of what "the software" means in the license. From my point of view, I have a license to run all of those versions each license explicity says I can use a VM. I don't think it is illegal or even unseemly. The only version restriction I know of that the new VM policy only applies to Lion or greater. 10.6 could only be run on a VM if you had the expensive server version. The licenses do explicity list the acceptable uses and that includes OS X Server, software development, and non-commercial use. They don't want people selling online access to OS X, that's all.
I do not VM Windows on my MBP because I have no need.
Me neither. I used to though. Funny how a Mac was the most critical tool in debugging web sites on various versions of IE
I don't even run OS X in a VM anyway. It does work but it is quite resource intensive. Maybe if I had one of those new Mac Pros... -

Using a Mac formatted ipod with windows itunes
Any ideas how I can update my mac formatted ipod on windows based itunes without losing all of my music? Every time I connect onto my pc I just kept being told I need to restore factory settings, yet when I connect to my mac it's fine.
Any help is greatly appreciatedIf your iPod is formatted for Mac it won't run natively on a PC because the Windows OS does not support the HFS Plus file system and therefore will not see the drive: How to determine your iPod's disk format
Macs can read Windows drives so you could restore and format the iPod on a PC then connect it back to the Mac and reload your songs. iTunes will allow you to use an iPod formatted for Windows on a Mac but Apple currently only fully supports using the iPod shuffle in FAT32 format on Mac, in other words all future software updates for the iPod would have to be carried out in Windows to maintain the formatting. Alternatively there are third party programs that will allow you to use a Mac formatted iPod on Windows, this is one for instance gets good reviews. It's a commercial program so you'll have to purchase a license to use it:: XPlay 2

Mp4 files open in Sound Studio instead of Quicktime
When clicking on an mp4 file, they are opening in Sound Studio instead of Quicktime. However, when I open Quicktime and THEN open the mp4 file, it opens normally. I went to disk utilities and verified permissions thinking that might fix the problem.
