To see if you can have XP and Windows 7 on the same computer?

I am new to Forums so I don't know if I am in the right place to ask this question. Can you have the older XP and have Windows 7 programmed on to the same computer? This concerns using an older printer that requires XP.

Hello Joseph Hill.
This question should be asked in the
Windows Answers Forum.
Anyway, two Windows versions can coexist if you choose one of the following options
create a dual boot configuration: create 2 partitions on the hard disk, install Windows XP in the first one and Windows 7 in the second one; the Windows 7 boot loader will detect the Windows XP installation and configure the boot loader to display a menu
that will allow you to choose the Windows version you want to start. You can then install and configure your printer in Windows XP, but it won't be available for you to use it in Windows 7;
install only Windows 7 and create a virtual machine: you'll install Windows XP in the virtual machine and then install and configure your printer in Windows XP.
Bye.

  • How do you manage an Ipod and Iphone on the same computer

    Hi how do you manage an Ipod and Iphone on the same computer?
    I have my ihpone but for running and cycling i also have my ipod nano, every time i connect one or the other it wipes songs that i want to keep?

    create a playlist for each device and sync only that playlist.
    i'm syncing four mobile devices to iTunes and each has its own playlist. works like a charm.

  • With the limit of 5 devices per itunes account, I am wondering if I can have 2 itune accounts on the same computer?  We have many idevices and I am not sure how to manage them all.

    With the limit of 5 devices per itunes account, I am wondering if I can have more than 1 itunes account on my computer? 

    The limit of five applies only to computers, not to iOS devices, if that's what you're concerned with. But yes, you can have content from up to five different iTunes Store accounts on any given computer or iOS device.

  • Can my girlfriend and I use the same computer but have 2 itunes accounts?

    I've got itunes on my computer and have an iphone synched. My girlfriend has just bought an iphone but her old computer is broken, so she has an itunes account but can't access it.
    She has connected her iphone to my computer and at the set up specified that it was a new phone, however there doesn't seem to be any option for her to select a different itunes account?

    you could authorize your iTunes to play/use content purchased with her iTunes account.
    that's basically very easy. all you have to do is +log out+ of one account (click on the account name in the Store window and select +sign out+ from the pop-up dialog) and into the other, and then they will both be authorized. (be sure to just *log out*, not de-authorize ).

  • Can you have two itunes accounts on the same computer?

    Can you have two itunes accounts on the same computer and if so how do you access them without syncing each others music?

    Yes. Use separate iTunes libraries(launch iTunes with the Shift(Windows) or Option(Mac OS X) key held down as needed), or different user accounts on the computer.

  • Can you have 2 itunes accounts on the same computer?

    can you have 2 itunes account on the same computer?

    Yes, go to your Windows Control Panel and create another user,log into it, run iTunes and it's ready to rock and roll.
    Transfer your content over via USB Key, Dropbox or external drive.
    Heck the best thing would be to File > Backup library to disk with a bunch of DVD-R's, therefore you get a backup in the process!
    Good Luck

    You can do it. This article from Macworld will be helpful to you:

    I recommend the "brute-force" method.
    Just make sure you have your data backed up properly!

  • If i have one iPad and I want all the apps that are there how do I copy that so i can have them on another iPad the same way as i have them on the first iPad?

    if i have one iPad and I want all the apps that are there how do I copy that so i can have them on another iPad the same way as i have them on the first iPad?

    If you want both iPad to be identical .....
    Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
    Now connect your iPad to your Mac and start iTunes.
    When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases.
    After it finishes transferring all your apps to the Mac, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
    Sync the iPad and eject it when it is complete.
    Quit iTunes
    Connect the second iPad.
    Launch iTunes
    Right click on the iPad name on the left side and select - Restore from Backup
    Select the backup of the first iPad and let it restore from that backup.
    When it finishes restoring - sync with iTunes to transfer all of the apps and any other content that you want onto that iPad
    Eject the iPad when you are done.
    Check the second iPad and if all of the content did not sync as you wanted - or you want to remove some of the content - connect it again and then choose the content that you want - uncheck what you do not want - and click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes.

  • I have a Mac Pro with Snow Leopard and FCP7 installed I would like to run FCP7 and FCPX on the same computer, is this OK

    I have a Mac Pro (early 2009) with Mac OS X version 10.6.8, I use this for video editing with FCP7. I would also like to install FCPX, my operating system is Snow Leopard. Is this OK or do I need to up-grade my operating system. I want to be able to use FCP7 and FCPX on the same Computer. Your advise will be appreciated.

    You will see from the hardware spec that the latest version of FCP X requires Mavericks.
    The Mavericks spec shows you can upgrade to Mavericks on your Mac Pro.
    Ensure you have a bucket full of RAM installed.

  • Can my husband and I use the same e-mail address/AppleID for our 2 phones, our iMac, and our Macbook?

    Can my husband and I use the same e-mail address/AppleID for our 2 phones, our iMac, and our Macbook?
    We share an e-mail account and would like to use the same e-mail address for both our phones, as well as our computers at home. Is this possible?
    We both have itunes and apple ID's of our own right now, but since getting married, we are deleting these e-mail accounts and sharing one. How can we make this work?

    You may use the same Apple ID for iTunes and App Store purchases, but using different iCloud Apple IDs is recommended.
    If you use the same iCloud account on your iPhones it will sync all of your contacts, reminders, and notes automatically and it could be a pain. I don't know exactly how you would want to have the iCloud accounts set up on the Macs, because I don't know exactly how you use them. (I am assuming you share?). But you can do whatever you like, you can even keep the same iCloud accounts, etc but you may want to disable the syncing of certain items, because reminders for ones phone popping up on the others automatically would probably get annoying, but that is just me.

  • How can I have another Itunes account on the same computer for my wife?

    How can I have another Itunes account on the same computer for my wife?

    In case you didn't fully understand what dallon meant, it means another user account on your computer. You set that up in Windows and then instal iTunes onto that account.
    That way, you each have your own desktop and your own itunes. You can link to the songs in the other person's library as well, but you cannot run both iTunes at the same time. (That simply means you need to close it on the first account before opening it on the second account.)

  • Can you share music between iTunes accounts on the same computer

    Well you must have updated iTunes once or twice in that time. Do you have some sort of "tidying" app that is supposed to clean "unnecessary" files. If so perhaps it is too aggressive.
