Trouble installing virtual PC onto Mac OS X v10.4.10

i'm not very tech savvy, but...here's the best i can describe my problem.
i'm currently using an iMac OS X v10.4.10 and i'm trying to install the program Virtual PC, which allows me to run windows programs on the Mac computer. even when the first part of the installation process is successful, there is an error message that tells me that the program cannot run. i've checked all the system requirements and i have everything required; my office mac program installed just fine, but for some reason Virtual PC won't.
i've read somewhere that Virtual PC cannot work with an intel mac, is this true? my mac currently runs on an Intel Core 2 Duo processor. is this the reason why Virtual PC cannot open to finish installation?

Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak 2 or Vista. 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.
2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, or Vista Ultimate. Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
3. VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, or Vista Ultimate. VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows. The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
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.

Help installing PSE10/Premier onto Mac from PC without software CD

Help installing PSE10/Premier onto Mac from PC without software CD. I can't find my software box anywhere..... Is there a way to locate my serial number within the programs? AND how can I download the programs from your site- all I see are downloads for the new PSE 11.

You really need the DVD box which also has the serial numbers on the back. If you registered the product you can get the serial numbers by logging-in to My Adobe but that's not much help as only the current version 11 is available for download.

Trouble installing CS6 on my mac

Im having trouble installing CS6 onto my mac. I have tried each way a few times and it isnt downloading, it might get to half way and then it stops. Any ideas?

What Mac? What version of OSX? What are the specific errors. And clarify whether you actualyl alrteady have successfully downloaded and get stuck on installing or if it's the otehr way around. That false intermingling of terminology is really not helping.

Trouble installing photoshop on new mac tower

I am trying to install photoshop CS2 onto a new Mac Tower (3.33 GHz, 6 core, intel xeon) running OSX Lion from the original install disc so that I can install my upgrade to CS4 before purchasing the upgrade to CS6. I keep getting a message saying power computer no longer supported. Does this mean that I can no longer upgrade from my original versions of photoshop? Is there a way that I can install my original disc with this operating system? Do I have to go back to an earlier version of OSX to achieve this?
Thank you in advance to anyone with some answers.

You will no longer be able to install CS2 on your computer. You are welcome to install CS4 and then enter the CS2 serial number when prompted to enter a qualifying serial number. You can do the same thing with CS6 only this time you would use your CS4 serial number.

Error Installing Lightroom 4 onto Mac

I'm trying install lightroom 4 onto my Mac operating on Mac OS X 10.6.8. At the end of the installation, an error keeps occuring that is causing the installation to fail. There is no error code or anything. Help?

At the top it says, "There were errors with the installation. You may want to try installing again." I tried again and it came up with the same error. In the middle in huge letters it says, "The Installation failed." And under that, it says, "The installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance."
That's all I've got.

Trouble installing virtual pc

i recently uninstalled Virtual PC from my computer bc it was shutting down unexpectedly. Now, I'm trying to reinstall the software and when i put the installing cd in;;;;; nothing happens after i double-click to install. The screen after putting the cd in has 3 options; install virtual pc. read me. manuals and tools. They work when i click on then expect for installing pc. at the very top it states; 3 items, 0KB available. Does this mean i have no space available? My computer has 1.25 GB on it.
please offer assistance

The error message is referring to disk space not RAM. How did you uninstall VPC from within Windows? I'd be glad to try and help, but frankly I don't understand what you've done, and the explanation you've given doesn't seem to make sense to me.
Have you removed the VPC application from your Mac's hard drive along with the VPC preference files, .pkg receipts, the virtual hard drive, etc. and all the other stuff VPC installs? I really need for you to provide me with some more information. Also, I need to know how large your hard drive is and how much free space you have on it.
Are you aware that there is a VPC Uninstaller on the VPC 7 Installer CD? It's located in the additional Tools folder on the CD. Did you use the uninstaller?

Having trouble installing Photoshop & Illustrator on Mac OSX 10.7.4

Trouble installing GoLive CS2 on Mac OS X

I just de-activated the program on my old Vaio which was crashing, and in trying to install to this new Mac (Version 10.5.6) I don't get an icon for installation. It took me an hour on the phone to find out Adobe doesn't support the program anymore and that I should go to Forums. Anyone else have this problem?

You need to look at the installation media and recognize that you have a Windows license if it was installed on your Vaio. That won't work on Mac. Welcome to Mac.
Directly ask Adobe Customer Service for upgrade/crossgrade options to Dreamweaver. (or you can install Windows on your new Mac so that you can install GoLive)

Trouble installing Lightroom 4 to Mac OSX 10.6.3

I just upgraded to OSX 10.6.3 and lightroom 4 still isn't installing. I keep getting a message saying "The operation couldn't be completed. (com.apple.installer.pagecontroller error-1.) Couldn't open 'Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4.pkg'." I noticed when I go to my order and click download it brings me to a page with 3 options. Mac/Win, English, Windows, Multiple Languages, and Mac, Multiple Languages. The first option, Mac/Win, English has a serial number assigned to it and the other two do not, but when I go to download the first option with the serial number says not applicable next to it. The other two are available for download, but don't have a serial number next to them, Maybe that's part of the problem? I don't know what to do! Please help! Thanks!

HT3986 Can I install Windows 7 on Mac OS X v10.8 Mountain Lion?

I have Mac OS X v10.8 Mountain lion and i need to install windows 7 in my mac...
Please help me!

Yes, you can install Windows 7 on Mountain Lion.
You have two options:
1- Run Windows 7 through a virtual machine such as Parallels or VMWare.
2- Dual boot your Mac through bootcamp.
In any case, you will need a valid and original Windows 7 installer DVD (or image).
Since you asked under bootcamp, I will give some details about is below.
First, as suggested in bootcamp, I would suggest you to take a backup just in case. To install Windows, you have to change the partioning of your harddrive from GUID (default apple) to Master Boot Record and though it should be seamless, there can be problems occasionally.
Bootcamp is located under /Applications/Utilities/Boot Camp Assistant.app. Make ready your Windows 7 installation disk (either insert the disc to your DVD drive or mount the image) and run Boot Camp Assistant. Follow the instructions, they should be pretty easy to follow. At some point you will have to change the partitioning of your hard drive and create another partition for Windows. Notice that if your hard drive has too much fragmentation, you might not be able to create a new partition without either running a defragmenter first or reformatting the hard drive. However, I do not want to overkill you with information, so first try to follow Boot Camp assistant and let me know if you are stuck at a particular stage.
Good luck!
