Mac with Windows

Hello, I know a mac running Snow Leopard can run Windows. But I was wondering if an eMachines (T5246) Desktop computer running Windows Vista (Service pack 2) could be put in a Dual-boot configuration with Snow Leopard and Windows Vista.
(Windows would be the main OS, The computer has been running windows all it "life")
The computer has support for a 64-bit OS, but at the moment it is running a 32-bit OS. The computer has a 321 GB total usable (not including recovery) hard drive/disk. It has an "AMD atholon 64 X2 Dual core processor 4200+ 2.20 GHz"
Thanks! Any questions? Ask!

No. OS X only runs on Apple hardware. Installing on non-Apple hardware is a violation of the license agreement.

Can I dual boot Mac with Windows?

Hi all,
At the moment I have Windows 7 32 bit OS. I've always wanted either an iMac, or atleast the Mac OS. I've recently found out it's only £20.99, and i've always thought it was a lot more than that, which is a bargain! The only thing which is stopping me from buying it at the moment, is that certain programs which I use reguarlarly won't work on Mac, and I really need those programs. Is their anyway I could dual-boot it with Windows 7, so I give Windows 7 say only 8gb of my hard drive, and Mac the rest?
I will appreciate any answers, and thanks for tackling this for me!

Is an Intel Mac just an Intel Processor, with Mac OS?
Yes Macs changed to Intel Processors in about 2007. You can upgrade as far as Lion with a Core2Duel Processor or better. CoreDuos will only update as far as Snow Leopard.
Hope this helps

Virtual PC for Mac with Windows XP Professional

I have two questions.
1. My VPC crashed (blue screen of death) on our powerbook G4 15 inch, and it states that the problem is a "unmountable boot volume." Is there I way I can correct this, I have programs on the VPC which would take a long time to reinstall?
2. I am considering purchasing a Macbook and wonder if I can use the Windows XP professional from my Virtual PC 7 with windows XP professional in boot camp? I doubt it, but thought I should at least ask.

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
I don't know about question 1. Might be one to ask in the Microsft forums.

Need AV or IS Software for Mac with Windows apps?

I would like to know if it is advisable to install anti-virus or Internet security software on a Mac if you run both Mac and Windows applications. I ask this question because I understand that those programs may not as necessary for Mac applications only but I wonder if the Windows applications that I installed under Parallels Desktop 7 will cause the computer to be vulnerable. I also wonder whether in installation of the AV or IS software will protect both the Mac and Windows virtual machines. Thanks

Antivirus software for OS X is not necessary. However if you run MS Windows in any fashion meaning via Boot Camp or virtualization software such as Parallels or Fusion then you should treat the MS Windows installation as you would ANY MS Windows installation, in other words install antivirus software for MS Windows! The good news is even if your MS Windows becomes totally diseased this will in no way affect the OS X installation.
In your case because you have installed Windows in Parallels then get yourself some antivirus software for MS Windows and install away. You can resist the urge for antivirus software for OS X though for many reasons, first an foremost is there are zero (none, nada, zip) viruses for OS X. While there are some trojans out there for OS X they are few and far between. The primary difference between a Trojan and virus is that Trojans must be downloaded and installed by the user. The lesson to learn here is only download from trusted sites and any site that tells you to download something should be approached with a great deal of caution. In other words if you aren't sure don't do it and come to a these forums and ask. The next reason OS X doesn't need antivirus software is most take up a lot resources on your computer and slow it down, and finally many tend to create more problems than they solve. If you still aren't convinced then download ClamXav, it's free, unobtrusive and kept up-to-date.

Will a 10 point touchscreen work as well on a mac with windows 8 (Bootcamp) as it would on a normal PC?

I'm just on the verge of purchasing a touchscreen monitor and a Mac Mini and installing Windows 8 using Bootcamp. I was just wondering if anybody knows how well supported Windows 8 is on Macs?
I have a Macbook Air with Windows 7 and it runs exactly as it would on any other Windows only laptop, but I wondered if this will be the case with Windows 8 as it's a newer OS, especially the touch control?
I would use windows 8 75% of the time and specifically rely on the touchscreen interface so I would really need the touchscreen to be flawless while in Windows 8. Alternatively the monitor I'm looking at can be purchased as an all in one but I'd really prefer the Mac Mini for the awesomeness of Apple Care and to have the best of both worlds as far as OS's are concerned.
Any info or advice from anyone that's using Windows 8 with Bootcamp and specifically with a touchscreen monitor would be awesome!

http://www.trolltouch.com/ is probably your best bet as they made their software for all operating systems.

How to disable back to my mac with Windows airport utility?

Setup is as follows:
Modem > AEBS (latest version) > Windows 8.1 machine running IPSEC VPN server
..I cannot get the outside world to talk to the VPN server despite forwarding the required ports (500,4500,1701) so I enable debug logging on the AEBS and see a bunch of these.
Mar 7 19:49:26 airport-extreme natpmp: Binding added for udp, 109.155.226.110:32771 to 10.0.1.2:4500 with lifetime 7200
Mar 7 19:49:26 airport-extreme natpmp: Binding added for udp, 109.155.226.110:32769 to 10.0.1.32:4500 with lifetime 7200
In AEBS I'm forwarding 4500 to IP .99
4500 is BTMM right?
So I'm thinking I'll disable BTMM on the AEBS and test again however the Windows airport utility won't let me disable/enable BTMM and I dont have another OSX machine on the network currently to use to check/change the setting.
Any suggestions on how I can disable BTMM from the Windows tool? Or without a tool at all?
Thanks!!

I strongly recommend whenever a router is seeming to cause issues.. you actually bypass it.. plug the computer directly into the modem and see if the vpn works. You need to get the simple easy to work before you attempt the much harder job of vpn passthrough on a known problematic device.
If the vpn doesn't work still you have the vpn server or local firewall setup wrongly.
If it works ok and the airport continues to give you grief.
My advice is simple.. get another router. Bridge the AE and use it for Wireless. A cheap normal router (particularly if you purchase wisely one that has possible 3rd party firmware) is going to save you years of aging, worry, pain, and all round trouble. Particularly when you try to get things working Apple to Windows with their different upnp vs NATPMP protocols, it is just too hard.
however I'm still seeing those binding messages in the log, as if it's still going somewhere.
Some interaction with Apple is built into every Mac with iCloud ID at least. Turn off all the other clients in the network.. reboot the AE.. but I doubt it will make any difference. It might not be BTMM it might simply be the security protection of the username and password.

HELP! Trying to network Macs with Windows PC is making me crazy.

I've been trying without success to network my Macs with a PC running Windows XP Home for longer than I care to think about. Here's the set-up: iMac G4 and PC are connected to Linksys router via ethernet. iBook and Mac Mini connect to internet via Linksys wireless access point connected to router. iMac is connected to an Epson photo printer; PC is connected to an HP laser printer. The Macs and the PC all happily share DSL internet access through the router/access point, but I've been unable to set up a true network that would allow for file- and printer-sharing. There's no problem getting the Macs to make nice (no suprise there) but getting the Macs and the PC to do so is another matter. The iMac and PC can ping each other (albeit only when I turn off the firewall in my PC security program) but do not "see" each other in their respective network set-up utilities. Nor have I been able to connect one to the other via IP address. I've found and followed instructions from a variety of sources on setting up a cross-platform network, all to no avail.
I'd love to get the whole set-up working as is, but would also add or switch hardware if it would make things easier. Among other things, I've wondered whether it would help any to add wireless cards to the iMac and PC for an all wireless set-up, or to get a print server, or to substitute an Airport for the Linksys gizmos. Any suggestions or advice will be profoundly appreciated.
iMac G4; iBook G4; Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Thanks for your reply and the terrific lucid instructions you've posted on your website. Yes, all the computers are on the same subnet. I followed your instructions for printing from the Mac to the PC and vice versa but unfortunately it's not working in either direction. On the PC, when I put in the URL of the printer connected to my iMac, I get an error message saying, "Windows cannot connect to the printer. Either the printer name was typed incorrectly [it was not] or the specified printer has lost its connection to the server." On the Mac, on putting in the account name and password for my administrator account on the PC, I get an error no. 256 that says, "Unable to connect to server with the provided password and user name."
I guess this goes back to the PC's and the iMac's not being able to "see" each other on the network. I have no idea why that is or how to fix it.
Thanks again for your help.

Mac with Windows - where do I find the settings

Hi!
I have a Mac Air with Windows on it. I need to enter security settings to prevent In-App purchases.
The instructions goes:
1) tap settings on your device home screen (don't have that as I have Windows) .
2) Tap General.
3) Tap Restrictions
I can find settings and General in iTunes but the restriction doesn't pop up here. So I gues I need to find the "Setting button" from the bar which I don't have as I use Windows. I have probably missed something very obvious...but please help.

Those instructions are for an iDevice (iPad, iPhone, iPod).

Can I Network My Mac With Windows XP Pro With This Setup?

Hey Folks. I have an iBook G4, OSX 10.4.7 and I want to network and or remote access with a Windows XP Pro laptop. In the household, we have DSL with SBC Global. We have a Linksys router. I have an Airport Extreme wifi card, the PC is hooked directly via cable into the Linksys. The router is connected to the DSL modem. Since I get online wirelessly and the PC gets on via the cable and not wireless, can we still do web access hookup, file sharing, remote access? How do we configure both machines to do this? Will we be able to do application/desktop sharing live in real time? Thanks for your insight and help steve
iBook G4 933 640 RAM Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Hi Rick. I want to experiment with networking the Mac to the PC on the internet and in the house. We both have MS Office, so I would assume we can do application sharing, work on the same documents in real time live, the same way that 2 computers play games and such. In other words, I don't want to have to hook an Ethernet cable to the Mac and PC to network together. Want to do it via the net. I did download the Remote Access Windows app from Mactopia today. Ready for the sophisticated methods now, (I think, hah)
Although it has gotten much easier to network Macs to PC's since Panther and Tiger, getting the configuration and hookups to work together perfectly is another challenge. It's tricky and frustrating when you seem to have put it all together, and then BANG!, it doesn't work. sigh I have tried the Ethernet connection method and that took forever to get that working, but it finally did ok. Also in the Sharing window under System Prefs, there are a lot of options to tweak as well.
I'll check out the link you recommended. Keep ya posted. Thanks steve

How do I restore data to a new mac with windows boot camp partition?

Hi
I have a new iMac and an old MBP, I'd like to copy all of the data of my old MBP to the iMac.Would doing that affect the windows boot camp partition?
and how do I do it?
right now im backing everything up on my MBP using super duper
both the MBP and the iMac are running on Lion

I am assuming the Boot Camp partition is on the old MBP and that the SuperDuper clone is on an external drive and is bootable. The Super Duper clone does not include the Boot Camp Partition.
To get the Mac Data moved you can use Migration Assistant and if you want to transfer the Boot Camp partition you would need Winclone to move/copy it to a newly created Boot Camp partition on the iMac. The SD Clone ( and a Winclone backup) is your insurance policy if some kind of difficulty arises.

PC Version of Photoshop CS4 Suite on a MAC with Windows Vista Via BootCamp?

Trying to decide wither to give Adobe another $1,400 for a MAC version of their Creative Suite or just use my PC Version on my MacBook Pro and iMac 24".
Either way I am spending money ($350 for Vista Ultimate 64BIT, or $1,400 for the Suite).
Technically I could installed Vista 64 Ultimate under BootCamp, VMFusion or Parallels, and then install my Windows Version of the Adobe Suite I already own and use it on the MAC since you are allowed to have 2 installs on the same Windows OS. I have 1 on a PC and thus would use the other on the MAC.
I wonder however how well Windows and Photoshop in general will play with the MAC via Bootcamp... and will I be able to share files between the Windows OS and MAC OS easily?
Or Should I just let Adobe fully take advantage of me and purchase the MAC platform Version of the exact same software I already own for PC (BTW, I need to keep it on PC as I have to use PC's for certain things and need a PC version).
Its a "$350 Vs $1,400 decision"... I guess I am looking for a little advise from people that might know how Vista64 and CS4 play with bootcamp, Parallels and or VMFusion and what is the best Ultimate option (money aside).

I have the Windows version of CS4 installed in a VMWare Fusion virtual machine (running Windows 7 Ultimate) on my MacBook Pro. While it's not quite as fast or responsive as the native versions I have on the Mac side (I installed the Windows version mostly out of curiosity), it's quite usable.
That being said, you're probably going to be better off using your current Windows versions on your Mac. The reason doesn't have anything to do with the software, but with Adobe. Adobe is a complete mess right now. Their Better Business Bureau rating is currently a D and the BBB recommends caution when dealing with them. They are correct in that. Adobe's Customer Service is worse than useless. They claim they're working on fixing it, but so far, I haven't seen any improvement at all. The went so far as to post a public apology from Lambert Walsh, Adobe's VP of Technical Services, on their website, though that seems to have been removed now. Adobe has always had very poor service, but in the past couple of years, it's gone from bad to horrible. You can indeed switch your license from Windows to Mac. I did it a little over 3 years ago (you're allowed to switch 5 times in a lifetime) and it took many hours on the phone (dropped calls, failure to call me back, endless time on hold) and 4 lost faxes before it finally worked. I understand things are much worse now; take a look at the forums on Adobe's website: http://forums.adobe.com/community/general/adobedotcom_feedback

Open Project Created On a Mac with Windows Version?

I filmed and created a video of my friend's rap concert since he is a rapper with Premiere CS4 and Encore CS4 to make the DVD. I created this project on my Mac, but now I am trying to finish it on my Windows 7 PC which has the CS3 Master Collection as I no longer have the CS4 Collection on my Mac because I borrowed it from someone. I am trying to open the files on the PC and Encore says I cannot because it was created with the Mac version of Encore. Premiere says the file contains corrupted data! How can I fix this? If it cannot be fixed, I'll need to try to obtain the software again from the person and Adobe also needs to support cross-compatibility within their applications!

Within a few parameters, the answer is yes. So long as you are going from older to newer versions of PrPro, most should be fine.
There are a few considerations: there are more Transitions and Effects in the PC version, than in the Mac version. This is a LIST of the "missing" Transitions and Effects.This was for CS4, IIRC, but will be similar for CS5.
If you have any 3rd party Effects, or Transitions, you will need those in your CS5 on the Mac. They also must be 64-bit to work with CS5. This might be an issue.
Those are the only things that I can think to warn you about, but they CAN be considerations.
Good luck,
