Question about any Mac Os

Hey all,
I got the fun operating system ( guess, windows xp home )
My question is, can any of the Mac Os run windows programs? I mean in the future or even now, can it run Windows Programs?
Just that.... I don't want vista and I hate xp. But I have to be able to run alot of programs that can't run on a mac. And I don't really want to have a Duel boot or have a virtual pc.
As you can tell i know nothing about macs... so i hope i posted this in the right place.
Kyle

Well ... You've posted in .Mac General ... .Mac, or DOTMac, is Apple's suite of online internet services. This is not a forum for general questions on all things MACintosh.
You really need to be asking in the OS forums, not this one. Try Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger, but on the way there keep in mind that the answers will depend on what you really mean by your question. If you mean can a Mac OS run a program coded for Windows then, obviously, no. If you mean can any Macintosh computers run Windows (and therefore Windows programs) then,just as obviously, yes.

  • Question about using mac mini as a server

    I run a small non-profit agency. Our server (A Mac G4 from about 4 years ago) recently died a somewhat painful death, and we need to get a new one. We're trying to be thrifty, but i don't want to get something that won't meet our needs. Our server needs are very basic. No more than 8 people will ever access the server at the same time, and generally it will be 2-4 people at once. We keep Word and Excel docs on it (It used to host our database, but we will have a separate server for our new database). Do you think a Mac Mini with the following specs would meet our needs:
    80 GB Hard Drive
    1 GB RAM
    1.42 GHz PowerPC G4

    Frank:
    Thanks so much for responding! One question about your post. When you say that the Mac Mini cannot boot in OS 9, does that mean that if I wanted it to hold Filemaker Pro 4 files (which runs on OS 9), that it cannot do this? We would not be running Filemaker on the Mini, just storing the files. We would run Filemaker off of our desktop computers. Sorry, I don't know a ton about computers, so sometimes I need clarification about the terms that people use.-Rob

  • Question about the Mac Pro's Video Abilities

    Hi, I'm strongly considering buying a new Mac. I've looked at the iMacs, but I am more used to Tower PCs. The Mac Pro's design and expandability is what I am used to. My question I have is concerning the graphics ability of the Mac Pro. Currently, I have a HP vs17e LCD monitor and an old Envision EN910 CRT monitor. I am very pleased with both of these monitors. Recently, I hooked up the HP monitor to this old 400MHz G3 8MB Video iMac, and it looked really good except the text sometimes looked a little blurry. I figure that the 8MB video might have had something to do with that. I do not care that much about widescreen displays or high performance $700 displays. I like to use simple, old style monitors. Would I be able to use either one of these screens on the Mac Pro with a GeForce 7300 card? Also, my next question is concerning the use of a TV as a secondary display. Our TV is a big Toshiba that has the old style CRT format. It accepts the yellow video connector and another connector that I think is called the S-Video (black connector). Can I buy adapters that will allow me to use the TV as a second display?

    I would venture to say that if the monitor has a digital input capability, then the cable that would be used, is not like the output from the Mac. But, if you want to use the digital to analog adapter that comes with the Mac Pro, or is a purchased item for some of the lower priced Macs, the monitor will work as an analog VGA monitor. The gal that cuts my hair was telling me the horror story abount how they had to spend $200 to connect their Apple Cinema Display to their PC. I am pretty sure you won't have to spend that kind of money. So, if your monitor will accept an analog input, it should work. Many LCD monitors were only analog when they first came out years ago. I took a short look at yours. It appears to only have an analog input. My Mac Pro manual says to use the adapter if you want to hook up an analog VGA monitor. You can verify this at an Apple store before you purchase. I don't see any issues, but it is always best to "get it from the horses mouth".

  • Question about how Mac OS X stores file information for iMovie and iPhoto

    I'm relatively new to Macs (am using a 3yr old iMac and a new MBA running 10.6.4 and iLife 11) and I have this general question.
    I'm using the iMac for a lot of Movie projects and photos. I've very quickly filled up my 500Gb hard drive and I don't understand why other than this:
    I import a movie using iMovie and it's stored in an Events folder. I then make a project and it's stored in an Projects folder, I then share it to iTunes and it's stored in the iTunes Music/Movies folder. And I also see the movie in an iMovie Shared folder. In other words, it appears that a 2Gb movie (as an axample) becomes about 10Gb because it's saved in multiple places. Must I keep all of them?!
    With iPhotos, I've imported about 6Gb of photos from my Windows PC. No problem. I copied across all the directories and then imported them into iPhoto. I then thought I could delete all the directories as the iPhoto folder became 24Gb in size! Not sure how but it seems that as well as keeping my original 6Gb of photo directories it's also put them into the iPhoto directory and somehow made it a big folder size?! If I delete the original folders (since they're now in the iPhoto app folder) then I can't actually browse the JPGs files can I except from within iPhoto only?
    I've got about 80Gb of music, about 6Gb of photos and about 80Gb of movies. Somehow it's pretty much filled up 500Gb of hard drive (and very little other programs or files other than the normal iMac stuff it comes with) because of the way the Mac (iTunes, iMovie and iPhoto) seems to have the same thing copied everywhere.
    All input greatfully receive and apologies if I'm being thick.
    Richard.

    Richard
    I'll answer the iPhoto part for you.
    If you use iPhoto in its default setting then the images are copied into the Library on import. Yes you can now delete the directories you have copied over.
    then I can't actually browse the JPGs files can I except from within iPhoto only?
    Yes and no...
    The point of iPhoto is that it's your Photo Manager. It's the "go-to" app when you want to do anything with your Photos. - View them, edit them, email them, print them, use them in other apps, upload them whatever - all of these things are done from iPhoto.
    There are two advantages to working this way.
    1. You get to work with your Photos and don't have to think about files. This means the organisation possibilities are much greater than just files in folders. You can use Keywording, Smart Searching, Albums, Events and a plethora of other bases for categorising and therefore find your pics.
    2. iPhoto is integrated throughout the entire OS. That means your Library is available throughout the OS without iPhoto being open by means of Media Browsers. You can search your Library from a MEdia Browser and so on.
    So, while, yes, the files are not browsable via the Finder, there's no need to. Everything you need to do can be done with iPhoto.
    Want to edit the pics in something other than iPhoto:
    You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
    Note that iPhoto sends a copy+ of the file to Photoshop, so when you save be sure to use the Save command, not Save As... If you use Save As then you're creating a new file and iPhoto has no way of knowing about this new file. iPhoto is preserving your original anyway.
    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
    *For Users of 10.5 and later*
    You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    (Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    *For users of 10.4 and later* ...
    Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
    To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
    This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
    If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    *If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
    For users of 10.6 and later:
    You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu. Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    For Users of 10.4 and later:
    Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

  • Question about ARD / Mac Mini christmas present from Parents / Remove it???

    Few weeks ago, my parents gave me a new Mac Mini 2.53 Intel 4GB 320HD, wireless keyboard and mouse, and even bought iWorks extra. The problem is my parents are too controlling and go to the point of being crazy so I moved 200 miles away. I am in my 30s. This Mac Mini they gave me seemed fine at first, but after installed the iWorks on it, it started behaving strange. I did research on Apple Remote Desktop, and found that directory in /System/Library/CoreServes, my Disk Utility prompted me that something was changed in the directory and the changed would be repaired. In the directory, it is full of Apple Remote Desktop stuff, My Airport connection at the top of my screen now has a seperate area under connections listed Devices with hpsetup listed as connected. Under CoreServices some of the follwing: AddPrinter, boot.efi, ACRCPAgent, CCacheServer, DiskImageMounter, Directory Utility, DumpPanic, Encodings (Folder), Expansion Slot Utility, File Sync, FileSync Agent, Finder, Firmware Updates (Folder), FixupResouceForks, FolderActionsDispatcher and Setup, Installer, Java Launcher / Web Start / Javaversion.plist, KerbrosAgent.bundle, login window, lonelist, manged client, mDNSResponder.bundle, Momory Slot Utility, Menu Extras (folder), MLTEFile.bundle, NetAuthAgent, Network Diagnostics and Network Setup Assistant, OBEXAgent, ODSAgent, pbs, PreferenceSyncClient, Problem Reporter, Report Crash/Panic, Resources (File), RFBEventHelper.bundle, Screen Sharing, searching.bundle/agent, securityagentplugins(folder), smbfileserver.bundle, submitdiaginfo, systemfolderlocialozations(folder), systemuiserver, systemversion.bundle and .plist, ticket viewer, unmountassistant agent, upgrade user, useraccountupgrader, usernotication center, voiceover, workflowserverunner, serverjoiner and scanner, security fixer and proxty and deleted rcd and folder of remotewhatever with ARD files including curtins and tons of files about remote desktop.

    /usr/share/derby that can be repaired, is repaired, but shows up again when I verify over and over.
    Also a normal error message that can be ignored.
    I still can't understand what problem you are finding that leads you to believe that your system is being controlled remotely. I find it very difficult to imagine that your parents or anyone else is controlling your system. Problems with disk permissions, particularly if it involves "hundreds" is far more likely to be a problem with the operating system on your computer, not someone remotely changing things.
    Anyway, the test is simple; if your Mac is connected to the Internet, either via wireless or a wired connection, just disconnect it for a while. Then while it's disconnected, make whatever changes you need, etc. If things continue to have problems, then the problem will not be any remote monitoring or control.
    Or if you're really concerned, back up any documents, music, photos, etc. you may have on the system, boot it from the Mac OS X installation disks, erase the drive, and reinstall Mac OS X and your applications, and restore the documents from your backup. If there was any sort of "remote monitoring" going on, erasing the drive and reinstalling the OS would remove it.

  • Question: Do Any Mac/Lightroom users use a case-sensitive filesystem?

    I know most people use the default case-insensitive Mac filesystem. But plugins may have issues in a case-sensitive filesystem (if not explicitly programmed to handle case), which I just learned is an option for Mac users. Just wondering if any Lightroom users actually do it.
    Thanks,
    Rob

    areohbee wrote:
    I'm starting to think that having a case-sensitive filesystem on Mac would only be done by people with very special purposes in mind - e.g. developers who want to test unix command-line apps..., and would "always" be accompanied by case-insensitive volumes for normal Mac use - e.g. Lightroom-data/plugins/photos...
    Ya think?
    Almost certainly.
    As I mentioned before, case-sensitivity is required for, among other things, POSIX compliance, which is of particular interest to a segment of the enterprise and interoperability spaces. Microsoft achieves this by a kernel change (and one of two POSIX-for-Windows licensed libraries) and offering a case-sensitive file system, NTFS. Apple achieves this by offering a way to make HFS+ case-sensitive, with kernel services and a BSD POSIX subsystem that is case-sensitive to the extent the file system is.
    Note that apps that treat filespecs as unique when they differ only in case are not necessarily "poorly coded" as this would depend on context and application. There are some very, very good reasons to do so. In fact, one could make an argument that apps that cannot handle a case-sensitive environment are the poorly coded examples. Blindly assuming the case of a filespec makes it unique, or rewriting an existing filespec to a "corrected" one, are very dangerous assumptions.
    For most of us, the defaults are more natural, and I would hazard a guess that Lr gets little or no QA under such environments. I know of at least one corner-case (exposed here) that would probably break.

  • A Question about reinstalling Mac OS X [MBP 17" 2.16 DuoCore]

    Hey everyone,
    i want to install a fresh copy of OSX on my MBP 17" which will be on one partition only [so ill be able to use Boot Camp] , but i have misplaced my installation DVDs ...
    is there anyway to get a new copy for my macbook pro ?
    Thanks alot,
    Shai Mishali .

    You need to contact AppleCare having your computer serial number handy explaining the situation. You will be charged a shipping and handing fee and be sure to keep your replacement install package in a safe place.
    Are you experiencing any problems that is prompting you to perform an Erase & Install?
    One benefit with doing so is customizing the installation removing language support and printer drivers not needed or additional applications included with the install package that you don't need or want which take up a great deal of hard drive space but other than this, there isn't any other benefit unless you are experiencing a problem or problems that cannot be resolved by any other means.

  • Question about searching

    Hi all,
    I'm considering Oracle BDBJE for a project that stores visited url's (data) based on a key of ip-address (4 bytes) combined with a date (long) to make the keys unique.
    If want to search on date (ignore ip) do I have to make a secondary database that has the date of the visited url's as primary index?
    Does a method like Cursor.getSearchKeyRange, if supplied with partial key, always search a the beginning of the key? Or could I use it to search for a date by only supplying the date-part of the key? Prop. in this case the bytes for the date will be mistaken for the bytes of the ip-address that comes first in the key.
    Thanks for any help.
    regards,
    Jeroen

    Hi Jeroen,
    I'm not sure I have all of your data model yet, but I think you've given us enough for me to say you should likely try one or possibly two secondary databases.
    If you have not already done so you should review the documentation on Secondary Indexes as found here:
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/je/GettingStartedGuide/indexes.html
    Inserting/Modifying records is faster without using a secondary index. But the queries that you have identified would perform better with secondary indexes. But you should experiment with a few different approaches and compare that with your performance goals.
    Also, if you have not already thought about this, I would consider using DPL to implement this, especially since you will be evaluating alternative database designs. You will find that the implementation time is faster and you can also make changes quickly.
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/je/PersistenceAPI/BerkeleyDB-JE-Persistence-GSG.pdf
    You know your data best, but based on the info you provided here are my thoughts/alternatives:
    Primary Database key = IP/Date or Maybe Date/IP is better if the Secondary for IP address exists
    data = URL plus other data not sure what
    Secondary Database Key = URL (I left out date because you said it is not likely that the same URL will exist for multiple dates).
    Possible Secondary Database Key = IP address (Which URL's were visited by IP X).
    Again, I think you may want to try out something like this a model your inserts and also your query performance. Feel free to post further questions about any results you are getting as you move forward.
    Also, if you have not already seen this I would keep this URL handy and consult with it before you post:

  • I have question about hooking up an external hdd to a time capsule and still have my printer hooked up as well. Anyone got any tips for me, how to do it and what brand of harddrive that will work best for me 1 or 2 TB

    i have question about hooking up an external hdd to a time capsule and still have my printer hooked up as well. Anyone got any tips for me, how to do it and what brand of harddrive that will work best for me 1 or 2 TB

    You just need a powered hub.. if you already use one then fine.
    Plug in just about any external hard disk will work fine. Format has to be readable by the TC.. ie fat32.. or much better HFS+.. plug it into a Mac to prepare the drive.
    Pick whatever size suits.. nowadays 2TB are most economical.
    WD, Seagate have goobled up all the minor players.. so pick one.
    Whatever suits your budget and asthetics.
    NOTE.. The USB on the TC is fine for printers.. IMHO it is the wrong way to go with USB disks.. use the internal disk of the TC.. USB is less than half the native speed plugged into a Mac.. TC to USB is slow.. far slower than internal drive.. or using external drive as external.

  • Questions about mac mini iTunes server, streaming to macbook pro, ipads, etc.

    I'm thinking about getting a mac mini to work with my NAS as a iTunes server. I have a bunch of questions about this. I will have two iPhones, a few iPads, and a laptop that will be accessing the files. I have iTunes match. This is basically to keep an always on computer for hosting the music/movies. My questions are as follows . . .
    #1 Are there any good, comprehensive guides to show you how to do this?
    #2 Can the movies be accessed when not at home on the shared network?
    #3 Can the iPads or the macbook pro download the shared movies to be stored locally?
    #4 Back to #3, how will it work on my macbook pro with listening to music (I have iTunes match)? Say i go to library and I break out my macbook pro and I don't have internet. What happens if I download music while at home onto my macbook pro to listen to it when I go to the library? Will i start a new library on my macbook pro? How will that mesh with the home server when I come back.
    #5 Is there a way to mirror files or folders? So something that I have on my macbook pro will also mirror on the home server.
    Thanks for your help on this. I'll post any follow up questions.

    3.) I want to replace the ram sticks to max capacity. This is 2 2GB sticks, Correct?
    No.  An early 17" 2008 MBP will accept 6GB RAM with the following specifications:  200-pin PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM.  The best sources of Mac compatible RAM are OWC and Crucial.
    4.) Most difficult...
    I want to extend the monitor wirelessly to a projector. I thought about using Apple TV and Airplay. However, support for airplay is for MacBooks 2011 and newer. I thought of using a PS3 and the media server, but I think this brings on a format compatibility issue. (my library is so large I could not afford to convert all my movies to MP4.) So, how would you recommend I put my extended monitor with VLC player onto a projector?
    Could I possibly connect the MBP to a Mac Mini as an extension? would this work natively? I would rather use a VGA cord than F with 3rd party app BS.
    Cannot help you there.
    5..) I want to Bypass iTunes this time around. I would prefer to use Finder and VLC to manage all of my music. I mostly play all my music on shuffle, so, could I create a playlist on VLC with all of my music and play it randomly? (im sure this is possible but i'd like to organize all my plans with confirmation.)
    You are not obligated to use iTunes.
    6.) Can i upgrade the keyboard to backlit? i've read that this is possible.
    All MBPs have back lighted keyboards.  Your either needs a NVRAM reset or a repair.

I'd also like to know why I only have 256MB of VRAM when I have 8GB of RAM, since I have 8GB of RAM I thought I was supposed to have 560mb of VRAM...
    So the two questions are...
    Is there any way to upgrade my VRAM, so that I can play games on steam?
    Why do I only have 256MB VRAM when I have 8GB total RAM?

    THANK YOU SO MUCH IF YOU CAN REPLY,

    The only two items that a user can change on a MBP are the RAM and HDD (Retinas not included).  You have what the unit came with and the only way you will be able to change that is to purchase a MBP with superior graphics
    If you are very much into gaming, the I suggest A PC.  They are far superior for that type of application to a MBP.
    Ciao.

  • Question: I want to update to the new LION OSX, but it says that I need to at least have an Intel Core 2 Duo. When I click "about this Mac," it says that I have a 2.16 Intel Core Duo. Is there a difference between the "Core 2 Duo" and the "Core Duo"?

    Well, my title basically asks the question that I am seeking an answer for. Im not sure what year my MB Pro is, and I cant exactly find it on the Apple site. Its a 2.16 Intel Core Duo, 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM. All I see (dating back to 2007,) is Intel Core 2 Duo on the apple site. Im pretty sure (but not 100% positive,) that my MB Pro is a late 2008/early 2009. Just trying to figure out if I can install LION OSX or not, since it requires atleast intel core 2 duo, and mine says I only have the intel core duo. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Core Duo is 32 bit processor and Core 2 Duo is 64 bit processor
    OS X Lion, will only on 64 bit Intel processor Mac's.
