Need to Run something like Parallels

Seems like I am starting to need an upgraded computer, seems more and more software will only work with intel chips. Bummer, I have a nice Dual Processor G4 that has enough guts, just can't keep up with the software upgrades anymore without having an intel.
Is there software I can install to run windows as well as OSX? I tried to install a Parallels, but guess what, only intel.
Dangit!

Most of the emulators mentioned want a lot of RAM. Another less common emulator was SoftWindows by Insignia Solutions. I don't think it made it past Win98 emulation.
Note: Microsoft bought Virtual PC from the original developer, basically euthanized it, and then stuck the name on a PC product. Sort of like buying, then burying a dog to get a collar you liked. Anyway, make sure you are buying the Virtual PC that is a Mac application.

  • I need to run something that turns off certain setting, then run something else that turns them back on.

    Hey guys!
    i just bought a copy of ProTools 11 and it gave some recommendation on changing your default Mac settings to make ProTools run at its peek performance, for example it says to turn on wifi and wired ethernet connection.  There at quite a few of these recommendations.  I dont want to change each individual setting every time i use ProTools.  Is there something i can run that will change all of these setting to the recommendations.  Then run something else to turn all of these setting back to default? thanks!
    God bless,

    Is your iMac running okay? Where are you getting this update from? Especially if it is an e-mail, I would not do what the 'update' is suggesting.
    Your profile shows you are running Mavericks. If everything is okay, then it would appear to me you don't need to download something to run Mavericks.

  • What is fastest approach to get count of list items ? I need to do something like select (*) from table

    Hi All,
    I have implemented paging on huge list. Grid gets shown 20 items per page but I have to show on grid pager a total count of items. Moreover filters could be applied to the grid. So, total count will depend from filter criteria. What is best approach to do
    something similar to SQL select count (*) from sometable  on SharePoint list?
    Oleg

    Hi,
    According to your description, you want to get the total count of items in current list view.
    There is an OTTB feature  “Totals” in the list view settings, it can count the items existing in the current list view.
    I suggest you do as the followings:
    1. Set the total count for the column in the list view->”Totals”.
    Then, the total item count will show in the list.
    Best regards

  • I'm a recently transformed "Windows to Apple" user, and I need to run various Windows software.  Before installing Windows, I would like to hear from experiences from users if it works well.

    I'm a recently transformed "Windows to Apple" user, and I need to run various Windows software.  Before installing Windows, I would like to hear from experiences from users if it works well. Also, I have an "Office for PC" that I need to re-download, however I was advised by someone that this software cannot be downloaded even if I had Windows in my MAC and that I will have to buy a new "Office for MAC" software.  Thanks.

    Yes, what you are looking at will work.  
    "Most of this would be for access to the shared folders which is not the same as RDP, correct?  So i could
    have myself connect from school to pull a word document, my friend connect from home to get the excel spreadsheet for our table top gaming, and my family connect to pull pictures from the shared folder on the server all at the same time.  Because they
    are accessing the shared folders it is not a RDP where they are accessing the server itself for administration."
    This statement is correct.  All of them would be able to be accessing the shared folders at the same time.  This is the purpose of shared folders. 
    "the 1 user and RDP part is where I'm getting a little confused i think.
    For the RDP part I thought that only applied to the server itself and not any of the client computers
    connected to the server.  So you are still limited to the 2 users to connect concurrently to the server or a client computer at any time?"
    Sorry, not trying to confuse you.  You mentioned to connect to a local machine at the same time.  If you are staying away from RDP, then you won't have this issue.  I would keep all shared folders on the server,  not on any workstations.
     You are correct 2 people can be RDP into a server at once.  For client computers (workstations) you are limited to 1 person at a time.  If you setup Anywhere Access correctly,  then your friends and family should not need to RDP into a
    client computer, they should only need to access the shared folders.  
    Something to keep in mind...for Anywhere Access to work, you will need to purchase a public certificate.  You can do this from GoDaddy.com, Comodo or others. I would recommend either Godaddy or comodo.  They make it easy and give plenty of instructions
    on how to obtain the certificate.  You will probably also have to purchase a domain name, and a static IP from your ISP.  To fully do what you are looking at, it will take some out of pocket $$.

    I need to run windows program's like word and excel and PowerPoint etc on my mac for college , how can I do it?

    You can install Office for Mac
    You can install Windows using Boot Camp Assistant then install Office for Windows in your Windows installation
    You can install Windows and Office for Windows using a virtual machine like Fusion, Parallels, or VirtualBox

  • Whenever I try to open it, I get something like "Firefox is already running". HOWEVER, when I check my profiles folder... it is empty!

    Exact message: Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system
    This happened when I first booted up the computer (so I hadn't been running Firefox anyway).
    I already tried:
    -restarting and shutting off. This does not help. However, the system felt the need to run an error check on one of the restarts, which turned up nothing. This might indicate something.
    -Opening task manager. firefox.exe does not appear in the processes list.
    -Using the help file. None of it seems to help since the profiles folder is empty. I can't run profile manager either.
    -uninstalling and reinstalling. I STILL GET THE SAME ERROR. Furthermore, the profiles folder is still empty!
    I am currently running a virus scan, so far nothing. IE seems to be unaffected.
    EDIT: Latest version of Malwarebytes has turned up no threats.

    Well, if the profile folder is empty, either its contents are somewhere else and hopefully you can put them back where they belong, or you lost your profile info. I don't know how could happen, though...
    In any case, see this support article to know about managing profiles:

  • I cannot install latest itunes to my Sony notebook which is running on traditional chinese windows 7 64-bit, the error message is something like unrecognized windows package, can any one help me or has similar experience? Thanks.

    I cannot install latest itunes to my Sony notebook which is running on traditional chinese windows 7 64-bit, the error message is something like unrecognized windows package, can any one help me or has similar experience? Thanks.

    iTunes 9.0.x is certainly compatible with Win7 64 bit since I use that exact setup on 3 different PCs. Two suggestions for your installation problems:
    1)Download a new copy of the 64 bit installer from Apple then, instead of just running the itunes installer right click on it and try 'run as adminstrator'. In my experience that clears up a world of problems with program installation in Win7 and Vista. This is necessary even if you're already logged in as an administrator.
    2) Try the previous version of iTunes (9.0.3). You can get a copy at http://www.oldapps.com/itunes.php?old_itunes=54 again right click on the file and "run as administrator"
    Good luck, hope this helps.

    There's no reason to install a smaller hard drive. In some cases, it may decrease performance.
    Your MacBook Pro comes with a 5400 rpm hard drive, so what you can do is to install a smaller, 7200 rpm hard drive, so you will get a better performance. Any 2'5" SATA hard drive will work, but you can have a look at OWC for hard drives > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/
    HGST and Seagate hard drives have a good reputation, so you can purchase one of them

  • I don't know what i need. I'am a mac user but i need to run quick books premier. This is the only software i need in windows 7. Could i have some advise in  what is better for me, Bootcamp or parallels

    I don't know what i need. I'am a mac user but i need to run quick books premier. This is the only software i need in windows . Could i have some advise in  what is better for me, Bootcamp or Parallels

    The Intuit rep said they don't "support" QuickbooksPremier on a "virtual machine." Do you know what I risk by using it, anyway? thanks for the advice about Boot Camp vs Parallels, BTW!
    I use QuickBooks Pro for Mac, so I haven't had need to try any of the Windows versions in a VM. But I can't think why it wouldn't work. From within the VM, QuickBooks Premier would believe it is operating on PC hardware within Windows.
    I would guess they mean that the multiple user support wouldn't work from within the VM. But I would think that would also work. Windows can see the Internet from within the VM, which means it can see your network. So if Windows can see the network, then QB Premier should be able to, too.
    I know you can get Parallels as a demo, and maybe you could get QB Premier as trial software. So if you already have a retail copy of Windows to load into a VM, it would only cost you time to test what's possible.

    I keep downloading Firefox updates of 8.0 but it says I am still using 3.56 (something like that). How do I actually install the Firefox updates and then run them? They are downloaded but apparently they are not running. How do I make them run?
    My current version of Firefox continues to (not responding) when I try navigating and it is very frustrating. I am ready to uninstall Firefox and go back to Explorer. Help.

    found a fix... had this today.
    I deleted FirefoxExtensionsSetup within this folder:

    Then Firefox worked.
    Good luck to all... delete at your own risk.

  • I have a new Macbook pro and need to run some Windows software, it appears "Parallel" should work well from what I've have read. Will I have any issues or problems accessing and printing from various printers on my Windows 7 network within Parallel?

    I have a new Macbook pro and need to run some Windows software, it appears "Parallel" should work well from what I've have read. Will I have any issues or problems accessing and printing from various printers on my Windows 7 network within Parallel? Is Parallel in fact the best way to go?

    First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
    There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
    If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
    Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
    Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
    If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
    Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.

    Hi Johnny,
    Per my understanding you can. It is equivalent to running 2 IGP and installing the entry in RIB table based on administrative distance.
