PARALLEL Universe, do we have the hinterland passage to AutoCAD??

The last time i tried this stuff was virtual PC about 10 years ago. It was not a good idea after all, as many good ideas often are.
Now my question is:
Does anybody have experience with AUTOCAD on a MacBook Pro? Meaning windows based. I know what they astronaut says: "Run any version of Windows at blazing speed" but is that really true?
I'm asking not because of anything -but- that I don't want to waste my time on silly nonsense. Does this PARALLELS work properly or not? What are the issues at hand, is there a serious DISK usage, slowness, whats the deal here?

Parallels Desktop for Mac is not an Apple product. You'll find FAQs and other support for the product at http://forum.parallels.com/.
As for the basic question, "Yes, it's true." Parallels does run most versions of Windows but not as fast as a native machine. For that you would need to use Apple's Boot Camp beta to install Windows as a self-booting system on an Intel Mac. You can download the Boot Camp software and read the documentation for more information.

    iTunes is part of OS X, which implies that iTunes was deleted, or that your OS X installation is corrupt.  In either case, the easiest approach usually involves downloading the combo update for OS X — the so-called combo update, and not the delta update — and installing that.
    Applying or re-applying the OS X combo update won't alter your user files, but will reload all recent OS X changes, and should also cause iTunes to be re-loaded.
    If you are running Mavericks 10.9, then download and install the OS X Mavericks 10.9.5 combo update. 
    You'll want to have a backup of your system — updates don't fail often, but they can fail.  If you don't have Time Machine or some other form of backups running, get that going first; before further changes here.

    There has never been a Mac version of Access. Microsoft never created one, realising that it was very inferior to the FileMaker Pro database application.
    So if you must run Access you will have to run Windows on your mac.

    Hi,
    thank you for your fast reply. Please find attached my code where I marked the array creation with green circles and the control part with a red one. I removed all the other stuff and loops which are not relevant here (heart beat loop, value initialization, DMA fifo, etc). The sampling rate should be up to 50kS/s for capturing signals with a frequency of the range of 10 to 500Hz).
    @ Spectre Dave:
    I would like to do it in the FPGA because my host part (cRIO PPC) is already overloaded and I had a lot of problems to get it running and save the data to a file with the high sampling rate (50kS/s). I was thinking that simple array functions would be an easy thing for an FPGA. Or am I wrong??
    Please let me know if you have any idea or if you need more information.
    Thank you very much and best regards
    Andreas

  • How do I run two sub-VIs in parallel and have the faster VI continue to execute while the slower one completes?

    I have two sub-VI's - one that makes a laser distance measuring device turn on and return a distance, and another that moves a platform upon which a target is mounted that the laser reflects against. The laser VI takes well under 5 seconds to complet. The platform-moving VI, on the other hand, requires about 30 second. I would like to be able to have the laser on AS the platform moves. Of course, I can accomplish this by running the VIs seperately. However, I would like to control them from a master VI. Currently, the laser turns on as the platform begins to move but then turns off, since the master VI waits on the platform-moving VI to
    complete. Any help with this seemingly simple dilemma would be greatly appreciated.

    In order to synchronize the two VI's I would recommend using a global variable. By creating a global boolean, you can make reference to it in both programs, and control when your "laser" subVI terminates.
    Basically, have your "laser" subVI wait until the global boolean goes true to stop execution. Have the boolean initialized false, and then have your "platform" subVI write a true to the global boolean when it has finished running. This will keep you laser running until the platform has completed its move. Good luck!

  • Do not have the option for the universal counting leader in project asset menu

    I don't seem to the option for a universal counting leader under the "new item" action, located in my project asset menu on expert view. I am using Premiere Elements 13, on a Mac, version 10.9.5. The others are there -- adjustment layer, title, bars and tone, etc, just not the universal counting leader. Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    inatgybderstorm
    The Universal Counting Leader is there in Premiere Elements 13 Windows 7 64 bit.
    I am strictly an Elements Windows user so I am not sure of the history of the Universal Counting Leader in Mac versions.
    If you do not find it, it is probably one of the Windows Only features when one compares Windows Mac versions of the program.
    Unless a Premiere Elements 13 or earlier Mac user comes forward to confirm one way or the other, I going with this one being a Windows Only for
    Premiere Elements 13 and possibly earlier versions as well.

  • Parallel Universe?

    Hello, I upgraded Power MAC G5 2.3 Ghz(Late 2005) with a 1 TB W.D. Black hard drive. I made one partition on the drive using disc utilities. I booted up from the disc (Leopard) and then went to time machine in utilities to get it back to where it was. I made the new drive the startup disc. Now, I seem to have 2 "universes" with different files and the computer boots to one or the other. They both have their own time machine records. I know this because I set up a file on the desktop and each "universe" has a different name for that file. The base of each universe is the same, just the new added files are different. The computer is used solely for music in Logic.
    Any thoughts on getting back to one view? Your help would be appreciated!

    Thanks BD,
    When I say parallel universe, I can restart and enter directly into the new desktop. I checked and the new HD is the startup disc.
    More background - I named a file on the desktop, saving some files there. I then shut down for the night. Next evening I turned it on and the files were not there. I then downloaded the files again, saving them to the desktop but with a different file name. I then restarted the computer and the original file name appeared. I restarted again and the new file name appeared. I only have one user on this machine. What makes it strange is that I ran Time Machine and, depending on the "universe" I'm in, TM reflects that profile, same saving times for each profile.

  • File window not updating modif. dates – and mysterious parallel universe discovered

    The day started innocently enough when I tried to edit some <meta> content on a site I'm building and then saved my work. Little did I know...
    DW's "File" window refused to update the "Modified" column of the files I worked on.  Open and closing the files shows that my changes have been recognized and incorporated into the HTML, and the files show up with correct modification dates in Finder (I'm on a Mac). They just won't change date in DW.
    When I upload the modified-but-not-redated-in-DreamWeaver files to my remote site, they appear with the incorrect dates on the server, but a text comparison in DW shows that my local and remote files are synched.
    Now for the truly weird part: when I run the site in Safari (after flushing its cache), a Source check shows the old code is still operational.  (I also changed the titles of the pages in question to quickly confirm which version was being displayed. This check shows the old title displayed.)
    Here's the site address:  http://www.bearriverbooks.com/index.html
    Now for the truly, truly wierd part.  I have a parallel site ( http://www.queen-of-the-northern-mines.com/index.html ) which contains copies of the bearriverbooks.com files. These files, too, show the wrong modification dates in DW's "Files" window and on the remote server – but they display correctly. Anyone who wants to check can compare page titles, which are longer in the later pages with correct code.
    I checked the remote site addresses in the "Manage Sites..." center.  I have not crossed my wires there (though I can smell a few arcing badly in my brain.).

    I am having the same issue on a Mac 3.4Ghz i7 running Mac OS 10.7.  I have Dreamweaver CS 5.5 v.11.5 Build 5344.
    I have a linux webserver, running ProFTPD v.1.3.1
    Both my mac and my linux server are set to the correct date and time.
    And ls on the linux servers tells me the files have the correct modified date and time, but this is getting lost in translation to dreamweaver when I view the remove server in the File tab.
    Any help appreciated.

  • System crashing when I make a new folder, do I have the correct advice?

    Hi all, I'd greatly appreciate any help if anyone can offer any advice about the issues I'm having? I'll try and be as clear as possible about what is happening, but I'm not 100% sure myself!
    I'm on an iMac running the original OS X 10.4.11 which the machine came with. A few days ago I had my Nikon camera hooked up with a USB (which I do regularly), and I created a new folder on the desktop to drop some images in. As soon as I named my new folder and clicked away all of the icons on my desktop disappeared. I can't remember exactly what happened at that point but the screen was flicking from all blue, to my desktop again, to all blue, to desktop again. Sometimes the desktop had a loading animation on it too, no icons, just the dock, my background and the loading animation. It stayed like this for ages and eventually I had to switch off at the back as my cursor wouldn't show.
    So when I restarted I got the start-up sound as normal, then when my desktop and dock appeared the whole process started again. No icons showing, just the flicking from blue screen to desktop, then eventually settling on the loading animation over my desktop for a long time.
    At this point I call Apple support and describe what's above. They have told me that if I use the disk that came with my iMac and do the following my problem should be solved.
    Apparently I should:
    - Insert the disc while the machine is on.
    - Shutdown and reboot.
    - When I hear the chime hold down C for 2/3 minutes, then follow the reinstall operation.
    However after leaving my machine on for several hours with the empty desktop and loading animation I came back into the room to find my desktop back to normal with all the icons there! I worked frantically trying to get some emails done and to back up some files, then after some time created a new folder on the desktop again and as I feared everything I described above happened again!
    To cut a long story short all of the problems above occurred again, and the desktop eventually went back to normal again. Now I'm using the machine and it's working fine, but I'm not going to try making another folder again just yet!
    I would have tried the reinstall already, but the disk is at another address so I'm waiting for it to be mailed to me. In the mean time I thought I would ask if anyone else had experienced this issue, or knew what it was?
    I'm also concerned about doing the reinstall, will the contents of my hard drive be safe? I would back up, but don't have the storage for everything. One of the reasons I want to get everything running smoothly is so I can install my new copy of Snow Leopard and hook up Time Capsule.
    Hope you can offer some advice, apologies for the lengthy post!
    Many thanks.

    Cough up the money for a backup drive.
    If it isn't backed up ... you do not have it.
    Here are two utilities for making a complete backup of your internal hard drive. I've recommend using one of these so that you can create a bootable system on your external hard drive. ( PPC require a firewire connected drive. ) Once created, you can run your system from the external drive. Hold down the option key on your keyboard then power on your machine. This will bring you in startup manager click on the drive image you wish to boot then click on the arrow key to the right.

    You need an external Firewire drive to boot a PowerPC Mac computer.
    I recommend you do a google search on any external harddrive you are looking at.
    I bought a low cost external drive enclosure. When I started having trouble with it, I did a google search and found a lot of complaints about the drive enclosure. I ended up buying a new drive enclosure. On my second go around, I decided to buy a drive enclosure with a good history of working with Macs. The chip set seems to be the key ingredient. The Oxford line of chips seems to be good. I got the Oxford 911.
    The latest the hard drive enclosures support the newer serial ata drives. The drive and closure that I list supports only older parallel ata.
    Has everything interface:
    FireWire 800/400 + USB2, + eSATA 'Quad Interface'
    save a little money interface:
    FireWire 400 + USB 2.0
    This web page lists both external harddrive types. You may need to scroll to the right to see both.

  • How can i have the same files on my iMac as i do my Macbook Pro?

    Im no computer whiz but i know more than the average joe. But when it comes to things like this im not an expert. I am a Photograher, Graphic Designer, and Videographer. I use my Macbook Pro on the go and my iMac in home. I would like to be able to have a matching folder structure for all my files and have both computers running the same aperture libraries and final cut libraries. Essentially a mirrored machine. Or just a directory that i can acsess from both of them. I assume this would be the work of a server? I just dont know enough about how fast would it be if i had my aperture library referenced off of a server attached to my home network and i was connected via wireless N "i could do ethernet but that would require me to venture to the basement" Also i assume that i would be able to connect all of these external drives i have to it? Say i had drive A1 and B1 A1 would be the master and B1 would be the back up and so on for A2 and B3? kinda like a raid set up so i can have a drive for photographery thats backed up one for video thats backed up and so on thanks.
    Also could i use such server to remotely render files for my applications? Such as Final Cut, After Effects, or Cinema 4D?
    Also this is all based around a Mac Mini Server as i dont have the money to be spending thousands of dollars. "I already did with my computers haha."
    Thanks i appreciate it in advance!
    If any of this was confusing i can re write it all thanks!

    I'm trying to do something similar with my iMac set up as an Open Directory server with network accounts, and then having my MacBook bind to it for login and home folder syncing. I still don't have it working the way I would like, maybe someone here could help me. I'm no expert, I found an up-to-date book at my university library, but it doesn't mention mobile accounts.
    What I did:
    1. Installed Server on my iMac and configured it for network accounts. I made a few test accounts.
    2. Configured the test accounts for mobile home folder and mobile syncing. I also configured the path to the home folder to be the server (iMac).
    3. Under Users and Groups preferences on my MacBook, made my iMac the network account server.
    What I got:
    1. I could login to any of my test network accounts from either computer.
    2. I could could create files on my MacBook and have them automatically sync with my iMac, and vice versa.
    What I didn't get:
    1. When I removed my iMac from the network, I could not log in to ANY account on my MacBook, not even local user accounts.
    2. If I made a change, such as in iPhoto on my MacBook, then made some other changes in iPhoto on my iMac, the sync can sometimes produce the wrong results, i.e. imports added photos, but not changed foto albums. (This would not be a problem on a dedicated server, but this could be a show stopper for the parent unless there is a good work around.)
    For me the show stopper is not being able to login without the iMac on the network. I remember NetInfo from the NeXTSTEP days and I thought the reason we went with OpenDirectory was so we could login without the server being connected. If anyone knows how to get OpenDirectory to work without a network, please let me know, and no - I do not want to install Server on my MacBook and make a clone directory.

  • My ipod touch is no longer working with universal dock since downloading the new OS

    I have the Apple Universal Dock.  It had been working fine with my ipod touch.  I just downloaded the new OS and now my ipod touch will not work with the Universal Dock.
    Any ideas?

    Hi grecokev,
    Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
    You mention that your iPod nano is no longer recognized by iTunes after an update. Reinstalling iTunes is a good troubleshooting step, and if the device still doesn't appear in iTunes, try the following steps next:
    Turn off your computer and your iOS device or iPod, then turn them on again.
    Check to make sure that you've installed all required updates for your computer.
    Verify that the 30-pin to USB cable or Lightning Connector to USB cable is free of debris and not damaged. If another cable is available, test with that cable instead.
    USB cables that are bundled with third-party products or accessories might work only to charge those products and might not transmit data. Also, if you're using a third-party case or extended battery pack, try removing the case and connecting the Apple-supplied USB cable directly to your device.
    You can find these steps in this troubleshooting article:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support
    If the steps above don't solve it, see the section of the article called "Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed" for some additional steps to try on your PC.
    Best Regards,
    Jeremy
