Running windows and OS 10 at the same time.

I am going to order a new iMac. I want to be able to have windows and Mac running at the same time. I will be using two monitors. My question is would I be better to order more ram, or the fastest processor to optimize the performance? My brother has a mac book pro running parallels, he says that it works or but is quite slow. Any help before I order my new iMac would be appreciated.

More RAM would speed things up more when handeling multiple applications at the same time.

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.

How can i use both Windows and Mac os at the same time on my iMac

How can i use both Windows and Mac os at the same time on my iMac

You can use Parallels desktop or VM Fusion to run both operating systems at the same time. Both programs work well, but I personally perfer VM Fusion.

Can you use Time Capsule on a windows and 2 macs at the same time.

Can you use Time Capsule on a windows and 2 macs at the same time as either a backup for one and a seperate HD drive for two?

Yes.
From one viewpoint the Time Capsule is just NAS (Networked Attached Storage) and it supports the file sharing protocols necessary for both Windows and Macs.
From the viewpoint of the Macs it can also be used by Time Machine for backups.
As NAS it can be used for storing files, and there are many backup software packages that support NAS on both Windows and Macs.
In addition from a networking point of view it can serve as a router, wireless access point etc.

Running Integrated and Dedicated Graphics At The Same Time

Hey all, I know this question has been asked before, but I haven't found an answer particularly pertaining to my situation.
First of all, I have an HP Compaq Elite 8300 with an Intel i5-3470, integrated graphics (DisplayPort and VGA.) I also have a dedicated GPU (Nvidia GeForce 7300 LE.) I enabled the integrated graphics in the BIOS to use both the integrated graphics and the dedicated graphics at the same time.
Now, I have one monitor plugged into the integrated graphics, as I set that as the primary GPU. Whenever I plug a monitor into the 7300, both screens go blank and nothing shows up. As a matter of fact, on start-up once, I had all four monitors plugged in and all that happened was that every monitor stayed blank and blinked every few seconds. Any ideas on what to do?

Hi,
When the BIOS detects a discrete graphics card the integrated graphics processor will be disabled. HP normally placed black covers over the motherboard video ports marked do not remove when a discrete graphics card is shipped with the PC. Trying to run both is probably confusing the BIOS in your PC.
Not all PCs containing the Intel i5-3470 will have an enabled graphics processor.

I can't run LR5 and EOS utility at the same time

I'm running Mac OS 10.9.5, LR5.7 & Eos Utility 3.
I can't run LR and Eos3 at the same time. Eos just crashes and have to force quit Eos.
Any tips anyone?
Do I have to downgrade to Eos2. Not a problem really I suppose.

LR supports tethering using a Canon DLL and EOS Utility probably also supports tethering or at least uses something from a similar Canon DLL. You probably cannot have two different versions of that DLL loaded at the same time, so it makes sense there are problems.

Can't run wiki and web services at the same time?

I'm a newbie with Lion Server, but I've been running several web sites successfully for about 6 months. I'm up to Server 10.7.4.
I've been trying ever since the first installation of Server to get the wiki service running. I had absolutely no luck until I turned OFF the web service (always got the "URL does not exist" error when I tried to create a group wiki from inside the Server app). With the web service off, it all starts up fine and I created my first wiki (woohoo). Turning web service back on kills access to the wiki. I don't find reference to this in any of the dicussions, and especially not in Apple's documentation.
Are the Wiki and Web services mutually exclusive? Or is there a way around this?
I'm using Dyndns to provide me with sub-domains to use, and I've dedicated one of them to the wiki service. Traffic comes in on port 8080, where my web sites are on port 80.
Thanks for any pointers...

Can you run 7 and 6.5 at the same time?

Since one of the key features I use is missing in version 7 (duration of a selection) I'm wondering if I can somehow run 6.5 along with V7 and, if so, how this would be done.
Thanks!
Rusty

I use both (6.5.2 and 7.0.3) on my Mac mini.
You can only have one "install" of QT on the machine but you can use the QuickTime Player from both versions at the same time.
Version 6.5.2 will run "on top" of the version 7 "framework". You'll have all of the "old" menus when you use it. But you'll also have access to the new H.264 video codec.
Find a copy of QuickTime Player (maybe a back up or a different machine) and place it on your Desktop.

Problem running DMVPN and IPSec VPN at the same time

I have a hub-spoke VPN network: 2 hub routers are 7206 VXR and remote routers are 2800. Each hub router has had number of point-to-point IPSec+GRE tunnels configured and running with remote sites. I'm now adding DMVPN between each hub router and a few other remote sites. The DMVPN is running fine between hub and spokes, but somehow it caused all the eixsting point-to-point IPSec tunnels drop. Here are some details:
1) Hub DMVPN config:

3) When DMVPN is up, hub router existing IPSec tunnels are shown ISAKMP failure.
Hub# show crypto isakmp sa

4) After I shut down interface Tunnel1, existing IPSec tunnels are coming back. ISAKMP SA shows QM_IDLE state.
Have anyone seen similar issues between DMVPN and traditional point-to-point IPSec+GRE tunnels on the same router?
Thanks a lot

Alternatively, partition your internal HD and dual-boot it. Do note that you have to reboot to switch back and forth. You can't do it by logging out and back in.

How can I do to acquire and save date in the same time and in the same file when I run continual my VI without interruption.

I've attached a VI that I am using to acquire amplitude from Spectrum analyzerse. I tried to connect amplitude ouput to the VI Write Characters To File.vi and Write to Spreadsheet File.vi. Unfortunately when I run continual this VI without interruption, labview ask me many time to enter a new file name to save a new value.
So, How can I do to aquire and save date in the same time and in the same file when I run continual my VI for example during 10 min.
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
Your VI does work perfectly. Unfortunately this not what I want to do. I've made error in my last comment. I am so sorry for this.
So I explain to you again what I want to do exactly. I want to acquire amplitude along road by my vehicle. I want to use wheel signal coming from vehicle to measure distance along road. Then I acquire 1 amplitude each 60 inches from spectrum analyzer.
I acquire from PC parallel port a coded wheel signal coming from vehicle (each period of the signal corresponds to 12 Inches). Figure attached shows the numeric signal coming from vehicle, and the corresponding values “120” and “88” that I can read from In Port vi.
So I want to acquire 1 time amplitude from spectrum analyser each 5
period of the signal that I am acquiring from parallel port.
So fist I have to find how can I count the number of period from reading the values “120” and “88” that I am acquiring from In Port (I don’t know the way to count a number of period from reading values “120” and “88”).
Here is a new algorithm.
1) i=0 (counter: number of period)
2) I read value from In Port
3) If I acquire a period
i= i+1 (another period)
4) If i is multiple of 5 (If I read 5 period)
acquire 1 time amplitude and write to the same
file this amplitude and the corresponding distance
Distance = 12*i). Remember each period of signal
Corresponds to 12 Inches).i has to take these
values: 5,10,15,20,25,35,40,45,50,55,60............
5) Back to 2 if not stop.
Thank you very much for helping me.

Yes for most. You can run a regular app with an audio podcast. I do not know what could run with a video podcast.

Can i use both windows and OS X in the same hardisk

I want to install windows 7 ultimate(64 bit) on imac but if i install it can i use both OS X and windows in the same hardisk or do i have to plug in an external hardisk and can i still use OS X or only apple??

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Of course. You can install Windows and OS X in the same hard drive, because that's the purpose of Boot Camp.
I see you are using OS X Mavericks, so you can install Windows 7 or 8 in Boot Camp > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634?viewlocale=en_US Then, follow these steps to install Windows > http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1636/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_ 10.8.pdf
After installing Windows, your Mac will start up in Windows by default. In order to choose in which operating system you want to start up, just hold the Option (Alt) key while your computer is starting up.
If you do not want to do heavy tasks in Windows, another option you should consider is to install Windows in a virtual machine with the use of an app like VMware Fusion, VirtualBox or Parallels. This way is more secure and there's no risk to harm your Mac.

I am using several Macs running Yosemite. I was recently “upgraded” to Xfinity’s new cable modem which can support both 2.5Ghz and 5Ghz networks at the same time. Actually I can connect to the internet over both with a satisfactory bump in speed for the Ghz. However when I connect to the 5Ghz the Time capsule disappears from the Airport Utility and claims to be Not Found. Is there something I have done wrong or just a Yosemite Teething Problem

First restart your mac and try again.
It could be
that the router and the TC are interfering wirelessly with each other.
You can check this by pressing the option key while clicking on the wireless icon on your screen
Open Wireless Diagnostics
enter your user password
Press CMD 4 then Scan
You will see all the wireless channels being used in your location and you can check if they are on the same channel
Make the SSID for the TC simple like MyTC
Set 5Ghz to auto
Update the TC
Try again
