Paralells or a similar program?

Hi all,
I need to run an estimating program which is not compatible with my Mac. The supplier's solution is to install paralells and a Windows and use it.
And now I have the question, is Pralells the only virtual software to go with or there are other products too?
Cheers

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.

  • How do you disable OS X (when you focus on a window) from auto-focusing on windows from the same (or similar) program on another screen

    Hi,
    I have what is quickly becoming a major nuisance, I hope someone here knows more than me (hopefully about to change this behaviour..?).
    Whenever I click on e.g. excel on one screen, the excel windows in the background on my other screen is automatically brough to the front, hiding the window I actually want to be able to see. And if I have no excel windows on that screen, it will automatically bring e.g. MS word to the front instead.
    Does anyone know of a way to disable this extremely annoying behaviour? It seems silly to have to minimize every single window (yes, I have a lot open at any given time, and need to transfer data between several different programs) just to be able to look at windows from two different programs at the same time.
    Cheers,
    W

    this is NOT how apps behave on a Windows PC. There, the different windows of any app focus independently.
    Mmm, no, not really. All Windows apps run inside an application frame. Nothing for that app can exist outside the frame. Once you are in the frame of a given app, all of (example) Excel's open documents are also stuck inside the frame. Along with any palettes or other objects for that app. You can take it off full screen display like below, but each app, and everything associated with it is in its own frame.
    I mention this to show that you can do the same thing on your Mac. Where you said:
    I'm clicking/highlighting to the foreground (this also applies if I use alt+tab in Windows PC; you cycle through every single excel you have open,
    The equivalent on the Mac is to press Command+` (same key as the tilde ~, which should be directly above the Tab key). So it's Command+Tab to switch between apps, and Command+` to rotate between open documents within an app.
    So anyway, in the same manner you would arrange your Windows apps as shown above so you can see the contents of both apps, you simply arrange your Mac apps' documents the same way. Adjust the size of each open document as necessary so you can see the relevant information.
    Just like if a person were going from Mac to Windows, it's "different". Folders, files and apps? All the same concept. Saving and deleting files? Pretty much the same. But if you're very used to one, the other seems odd until the need to think about "simple" steps that aren't performed quite the same way as the OS you're used to becomes habit, and it no longer seems odd anymore.

  • Error -50103 occuring in one program, but not occuring in another similar program

    Hello,
    I'm a new user of LabView and I'm trying to figure out how a part of this programming process works.  Anyway, the block diagram of the working program consists of the first two pictures (C:\Users\Labview\Pictures\errorsetupnew1.jpg  -and-  C:\Users\Labview\Pictures\errorsetupnew2.jpg).  The parts in question are the DAQAssistant9 and DAQAssistant12 in the lower half of the diagram.  When I run the program, everything goes fine.
    So now I'm trying to run two other programs that both share the same properties as these two DAQAssistants, but they are in two separate programs.  When I run one program, it works, but when I run the other program, Error -50103 occurs at DAQmx Control Task.vi:10.  Pressing continue yields Error -50103 occuring at DAQmx Read (Analog 1D Wfm NChan NSamp).vi:3. 
    So my first attempt at solving it was to consolidate it into one program and run it all together, however the same error shows up.  I isolated the two While loops which seem to be causing the problem into a test program (third picture) and the error occurs there as well. 
    My question is what is different from the program in the first two pictures that is allowing the program to run correctly and the test program (which can be extended to the program that I need to work).
    I'm new, so please let me know how many beginner mistakes I might be making here!
    Thanks

    I'm not currently at the computer with the files in question, but what if I attached those instead when I got the chance?  The problem is that I don't believe I am using the same DAQ resource in two different tasks.  The command line runs correctly in one, but can not run in the other even though the part giving the error is just a copy of the other program.
    I'm trying to run through the previous posts about this particular error but the LabView lingo is something I'm still getting used to.  Thank you for bearing with me and helping.

  • Can any advise: I have spyware, should I purchase Mac Scan or a similar program to remove this/

    I have a spyware program (atdmt) on my MAC,should I be concerned and if so any recomendations for a removal program? Thanks

    That isn't 'spyware' just a tracking cookie. Just remove it.
    To avoid them in future install the Ghostery Extension.
    There are many forms of ‘Malware’ that can affect a computer system, of which ‘a virus’ is but one type, ‘trojans’ another. Using the strict definition of a computer virus, no viruses that can attack OS X have so far been detected 'in the wild', i.e. in anything other than laboratory conditions. The same is not true of other forms of malware, such as Trojans. Whilst it is a fairly safe bet that your Mac has NOT been infected by a virus, it may have another security-related problem, but more likely a technical problem unrelated to any malware threat.

  • DNS or similar program

    Hello,
    I was wondering if anyone knows of an application similar to "SimpleDNS Plus"? http://www.simpledns.com/default.aspx
    There is not Mac version of this product and I need some of the features such as Quick Zone Wizard / Zone Templates:
    In one simple dialog, enter the domain name and the IP addresses of the web and mail servers, and click OK.That's all you need to setup a new zone. The IP addresses can even be pre-filled with default values.
    The Quick Zone Wizard is template based and you easily create your own templates with exactly the DNS records etc. you need when setting up now domains. Optionally add input fields and VB.NET code.
    Thank you,
    Joseph

    I don't think your Mac needs an application. Simply insert the open dns (http://www.opendns.com/) System Preferences>Network. in the DNS Servers box and hit Apply.

  • On my pc I used Sony Vegas to edit video, what's a similar program I could use on a Mac??

    I used Sony Vegas on my desktop PC, and I got it free when I was in college from our online downloads website...but now that I graduated last year, And just now got a Mac, I was wondering what the cheapest alternative would be for Sony Vegas.  I don't really like the imovie so far compared to it just because Sony did a ton of stuff and I miss it.  Can anyone help me out?
    Thank you.

    Heh, heh, welcome to the Real World, where Adobe practically rapes you for everything but the free Reader plugin. Yes, you'l remember fondly the fun and carefree days when good stuff was on the campus server...
    If you've still got the Vegas installer at hand, could try and set up a virtual PC running an appropriate flavor of Windoze and run it there. Oracle VirtualBox is free, you'll just have to supply your Windows activation and install media.

  • Similar Program as Microsoft Money for Mac?

    Hello,
    I am in the process of changing over from pc to Mac. I am currently using Microsoft Money...is there an equivalant for the Mac? All I really need it to do is download bank activity from my checking account, set budget, and run income/expense reports. Thanks in advance for your help.

    Quicken acceptable on the Mac, but the conversion from Microsoft Money is nearly impossible. I simply started over when I made the switch about 2 years ago. Once set up though, the bank access works well.

  • Is there a program any user can recommend similar to Mcafee shredder?

    I have recently moved from Windows (and yes I miss Windows a lot) but also love my new MacBook Pro
    I read that it's best to stick with ClamXav for routinue checks.
    But is there a similar program to Mcafee Shredder that any Mac user can recommend? As I found that to be a very useful piece of software.
    And yes I am aware that I can securely delete my trash but I would like to know if there's an alternative.
    Thanks!

    You still need a anti-malware for Windows if you running it on your Mac.
    I'm Windows savvy but I need to retrain myself onto being Mac savvy now.
    Well do this
    1: Dont install Java, but if you or a program does, make sure it's turned off in all browsers preferences.
    2: Your going to need Flash most likely, however use Firefox instead of Safari as it's better at protecting with more frequent updates than Safari. I advise the NoScript addon, add a Temp All All button to the toolbar, this way you can control Javascript, Flash and other plugins and website exploits from running on untrusted sites.
    3: Run Software Update at least once a week. When Apple has a OSX upgrade (paid) wait about 6-8 months and then upgrade so others who are more advanced can test it and report bugs.
    4: Biggest malware vectors on all computers, browser iFrames and advertising (NoScript, check block iFrames and Ad Block Plus can assist)
    5: Biggest malware vector on OS X, trojans (trust the source of outside software) and vulnerable plugins (Java and Flash mainly) next followed by Safari and iTunes, also Chrome. Because they are based upon Webkit which is been a large problem for many vulnerabilities.
    6: Apple is notoriously slow to update for security vulnerabilites everwhere, OS X and all their programs, and takes two months to update programs like Opera in App Store. So don't trust AppStore for timely updates or it's software for anything that could compromise your security or your machines.
    Mac's are now a target for malware, has been attacked (Flashback botnet trojan) and Apple has been a little bit slow to get up to speed and attention to them, they still don't have monthly security patches, rather waiting a average of 90 days.

  • Looking for a certain application/program

    I am most definitly in the wrong forum, but the people who use this forum are probably the most knowlidgable about the application i am looking for.
    I have a wacom tablet, and am getting very good at drawings and animation. I was wondering if anyone knew of a program where i can draw on my tablet , and it would record it like a film, so that i could import it in fcp. If anyone knows of this program, a similar program, or a program that includes this feture i would be very interested in knowing what it is?
    Ethan

    Another route would be to do it in After Effects.
    You wouldn't draw, like what you're describing, but you can create paths that would stroke themselves on. i.e. you'd draw it before hand with the pen tool in After Effects or Illustrator, then stroke your paths, and key frame the end-point to make it look like it 'draws' on.
    It's a bit trickier, but then you can make sure there are no mistakes, make is scalable (vector-based), and very smooth.
    Just so you have options.

  • Looking for a labview virtual instrument program we can modify

    Hi, I’m looking for a canned labview virtual instrument program we can modify for the OMB DAQ 55 from Omega to measure three temps and control three DO.  I have the driver at:ftp://ftp.omega.com/public/DASGroup/products/OMB-DAQ5455&56/ The driver is labviewpdaq5xsetup.exe. I have the OMB DAQ 55 from http://www.omega.com/pptst/OMB-Daq55.html  with a USB interface. I am trying to set it up to control a 24V electric valve. I’d like it to measure temperatures (5 separate temps), allow a set point to be programmed for three of them and turn on and off a DO based on the temperature. PID is not required yet. Maybe in the future… We have labview 7.1 and 8.0 but my colleague prefers 7.1  Do you have an labview VI programs that you can share that will do this with the DAQ 55? If you have something that will be close, we can modify it. But starting from scratch will likely mean we can not get this done in time for a project test. Simple set point and control is all I’m looking for… I’m new (my colleague knows it better than me, but has less time) to labview and do not have the resources to learn it from scratch to figure this out. Is there something you have I could modify? Can you help. Or are there canned programs you have that will do this? Labview is the preferred language. Thanks. Attached is what Omega shared with us, it might help…it’s a screen capture from a similar program, but far from the mark.

    Hi vestel,
    These discussion forums are more geared for questions - not necessarily having everyone else code for you.
    You have a few options if you want code.
    1) Look at the shipping examples that come with LabVIEW.  This will give you a starting point from which to ask questions.
    2) Look at the Instrument Driver Network that exits on National Instrument's Web site.  Here are all the Omega instrument drivers listed.
    3) Look at the list of Alliance members who you can pay to develop your code for you.  Look here.
    I hope this helps,

  • Creation of Program using ABAP Query (SQ01)

    Hi All,
    I have a program called "AQL4FI==========INVOICE_CHECK=" in my 4.6 server but a similar program doesnot exist in ECC.
    From the name, it looks like a program created using SQ01.
    Can anyone please help as to how to create the same program in ECC using SQ01 by looking at the program in 4.6?
    Please help.
    Helpful answers will be fully rewarded.
    Thanks a ton.
    Naba

    First thing is this is not the way to convert the SAP Query to Report.
    First check that how many table in your query they have used.To check this if you go in SQ02 press display button left side you can see the tables.To check the fields selecting from tables check in field groups.
    In record processing check are there any conditions are there.
    Now wrire a select statement by joing all tables which you found above and in this select statement extract all fields which you found in field group into one internal table .Here you give the selection screen fields as condition fields in select statement.If you found any conditions in record processing event ,Loop that internal table and check the conditions or modifications.
    If you need more help let me know.
    Pls. reward points for helpful answers
