Parallels already installed

I would like to use boot camp as an alternative way of using windows - when I absolutely need all the power of my mbpro. I already have parallels installed, have just upgraded to Leopard (and it works fine still), and would like to know the best way to install boot camp. Am I best uninstalling parallels first? Will there be issues will re-installing windows?
Simple replies please - my head is a little sore this morning in sunny Manchester. Thank you.

Hi TomiH,
Though I am still using MacOS X 10.4.10, I was always using Parallels Desktop and Boot Camp (currently v1.4 beta) together.
And since Parallels is 'just' an application (which is capable of simulating an operating system), neither installing nor using Boot Camp should interrupt Parallels or Boot Camp should not interrupt Parallels from running.
As long as Boot Camp v2.0 has not changed anything on the above, it should run as described: Without problems.
Also license-wise there should not be any problem as Windows comes with a license for one (1) computer and not one installation.
Kind Regards,
Phx_01

Are there any known issues upgrading to 10.8.3 from 10.7.5 with Parallels Desktop already installed in 10.7.5?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Most of the applications compatible with Lion are also compatible with Mountain Lion, so you shouldn't have any problem. Mountain Lion supports the latest update for Parallels 7 and 8, so if you haven't got one of these versions, you should upgrade it before upgrading Mac OS X. That application uses extensions, so it may cause kernel panics

Install parallels with bootcamp already installed

I want to install Parallels and already have bootcamp installed. Can I repartition after installing Parallels?

Repartition for what reason? Parallels will automatically offer to create a new VM using your Windows system already installed in the Boot Camp partition.

No it does not!
Windows and MS Office are two independent products. You will either have to buy an MS-office-license for your needs or you apply to office 365, you can activate up to 5 licenses at a time with your account and e.g. use them for the Parallels-Windows and for the native Office for Mac at the same time.
Office 365 comes in for approx 80€ a year, so if you need more than one license it is the better deal.

Updatemanager shows patches already installed

Hiii !
I'm using the updatemanager on Solaris 10 x86.
Recently I installed the kernel patch 118855-36 (you have to do that manually).
( By the way: the patch was not signed. How come ? )
After reboot the updatemanager comes up with a lot of patches, around 90.
When I try to install those, most of them (if not all) fail, because they are already installed.
How do I get rid of them ? Where can I tell the manager that tey are already installed ?
On other computers we have similar problems since years ;-)
Updatemanager comes up with patches for packages that are not even installed.
Thanks in advance, felix

First, I am a hobbyist running Solaris 10 within Parallels on an intel Macbook.
When I tried to patchadd 124631-03, the result was
The following requested patches will not be installed because
no patches required by the patch are installed on this system.
0 For patch 124631-03, required patch 119082-25 does not exist.
consistent with what felix wrote in reply 5. Unfortunately, I am not a paying customer and was not allowed to download 119082-25 (although I was allowed to download 124631-03).
I can only hope that both patches will show up in update manager so that I can install them from within update manager .

How to buy already installed application - namely OS X Lion?

If you try to buy already installed application, Appstore tells you it's installed and doesn't let you buy it. Only option I found is deleting the application, then you can buy it and download it anew.
But... I have OS X Lion, I bought it under one Apple ID. Now I want to buy it on another Apple ID on the same computer (I want to own the licence on other Apple ID, not reinstall OS). Is there any way to do it? Except formatting HD?
Asked same question to Apple support, but looking for help in general, so asking here also.
Thanks

I felt your pain when I purchased the mid-2011 Mac Mini to replace a dead iMac G5 last year, without doing my normal due diligence on Lion.
Like others I had the need to continue to access my finances in Quicken Deluxe 2002 (since rendered moot by Intuit's decision to release Quicken 2007 for Lion) as well as certain Excel 2004 charts that get trashed when opened in Excel 2011.
Since necessity is indeed the mother of invention, I worked out this solution: I installed Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels 7 in Lion:

Wanted to buy MBP 15'' with already installed software...

Wanted to buy MBP 15'', and wonder if it's possible to order MBP at Apple store with already installed Parallel Desktop and Windows Xp Professional. Just wanted to have ready-to-use MBP. WinXp Professional - is essential for me.

From the Apple Store… no you can't. However, you might want to call them about contracting them to do it. The problem you have is that the Apple Store does not sell Windows licenses so you would need to provide it to them. Your best would be to find an Apple reseller thay'll do it for you as the Apple Store will not.

Getting this error while opening a folder : This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Please install a program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel

Hi,
While trying to open a folder on my Windows 7 Home Premium, an error comes "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this
action. Please install a program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel." I tried searching on the net but did not get great support for the issue when it happens with folder opening.

Hi Nikunj Shah,
First, I suggest you download
Microsoft Safety Scanner or
Malicious Software Removal Tool to run a full scan.
The error messages here seems to be caused by the corrupted registries, which related with the folder association.
You may take a try to merge the following registry settings to reset the folder association, before that, remember to backup your registry settings first:

Copy and paste the following commands into Notepad, and save it to a .reg file:

I am trying to install Creative Cloud on my laptop. I already installed it on my desktop just fine but I can't figure it out?

I am trying to install Creative Cloud on my laptop. I already installed Photoshop CC on my desktop just fine. I paid for photoshop and lightroom for two computers. Isn't that right?

Kathyrn Peters do you receive any specific error messages when you attempt to install the Creative Cloud Desktop application? Are you utilizing the process discussed in Install and update apps - https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html to install the Adobe Creative applications?

Adobe Creative Cloud app not displaying already installed apps and can't install new apps Mac OS 10.9

Hi,
I've been using the new Adobe Creative Cloud 2014 for a couple weeks now perfectly fine, until yesterday. I use Photoshop, Illustrator, and After Effects quite extensively. This morning, I opened the Adobe CC app and all but Adobe Acrobat Pro show installed. The other already installed apps have buttons to "install" but clicking this button shows the "Exit Code: 7 - Unable to complete Silent workflow" error in the logs. Ive tried disabling my Sophos antivirus program and restarted several times. The already installed applications themselves seem to function normally, they open and work projects. I've even tried to uninstall one of the already installed programs (Bridge) and it fails to uninstall, saying I need to restart my computer and disengage my anti-virus, which I've done. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the Adobe CC app as well, and have the same result. Help.

So I've completed the solutions listed in the help article with no changes. Here is how it has gone with each solution listed in the article. Also, it is not clear in the article whether these steps are to be done in sequence or may solve the problem individually, but since Solution 1 fails for me, doing them in sequence was impossible.
Solution 1: Mac OS: Run the uninstaller in the Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder to remove the program listed as up-to-date.
This does not work because uninstalling any of these applications does not work. As I stated in the post, the uninstaller for all of my adobe applications (photoshop, bridge, indesign etc) throws the same error each time saying I need to: restart my computer (done) close all applications (done) and disable my antivirus (done, which was fully engaged when I installed the apps originally with no issue) and disable my firewall (done, I don't use one). Not sure what I'm missing on that, plus its a real bummer that I need to reinstall all of my CC apps even if the uninstaller did work because my creative cloud app won't recoginize they've been installed.
Solution 2: Remove the OPM.db file and relogin into the Creative Cloud desktop application using the Adobe ID tied to your subscription.
This did nothing.
Solution 3: Download and install the latest version of Adobe Creative Cloud desktop app from Creative Cloud for desktop.
This did nothing.
Solution 4: See the steps listed in Solution 1 to remove all installed Adobe Creative software. Once all Adobe Creative software has been removed, use the CS Cleaner Tool to ensure a complete removal. You can find details in Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6.
This did not do much because I can't uninstall the software to begin with.
What am I missing?

I'm having the same issue with a file called IMG_2353.MOV that was imported into iPhoto from my iPhone and also have to manually select the items to import (so the rogue file doesn't error everything out). I've tried using Image Capture to locate/delete the file directly from my iPhone, but even though I can SEE it in Image Capture, I can't delete it or anything. This is VERY frustrating! My friend/Apple guru's only suggestion was to backup my phone then restore it through iTunes. Risky but should do the trick. I'm too scared to try, though!

Are you launching Pages from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Pages from there.
