I don't think your mac can handle it... but like the dude above you said... trial and error is usually the best way to find out. Hope this helps!

Having trouble installing windows 7 with Parallels

I am having trouble installing windows 7 with Parallels, i keep getting the following message: There is no operating system installed in this virtual machine. Please insert an operating system installation CD into the optical drive of your Mac and restart. Any thoughts?

Having trouble using windows media player in a browser

Everytime I try to open streaming video in Safari I get an error message, sometimes I get "Cannot open the file. Verify that the path and filename are correct and try again" and sometimes "error creating unique tmp file". I have installed wmp I don't know how many times but I just can't get rid of this. I tryed this in my friend's mac and it worked fine but mine is giving me trouble. I have also tryed this in other browsers like Omniweb, firefox and even Internet explorer (internut exploder), what can I do?

I do not know why it works on one Mac and not another. From a Microsoft Bulletin:
Playing protected files
Content providers can protect Windows Media files from unauthorized playback by using a technology called digital rights management (DRM). A Windows Media file that has been assigned digital rights is called a "protected file."
To play a protected file, you must obtain a license (a kind of electronic key) from the content provider. In many cases, the Player can acquire a license for you automatically when you attempt to play the file. In other cases, the content provider may not issue you a license until you pay a fee or provide additional information.
Although it is usually possible to play protected files by using Windows Media Player 9 Series for Mac OS X, in some cases you may encounter one of the following issues:
* The Player displays the error message "Cannot open the file. Verify that the path and file name are correct and try again." In this case, verifying the path and file name will not solve the problem.
* A Web page is displayed that informs you that you should upgrade to a newer version of the Player. In this case, you already have the latest version of Windows Media Player for Mac OS X, so upgrading will not solve the problem.
In both cases, there is no way to resolve the issue, and you won't be able to play the file.
However, I have sometimes been able to extract the url for the media file from the page source and put it directly into WMP and then been able to listen to it.

Trouble Installing Windows 7 with Parallels 6

Just got my MBA 13 today, total mac newbie. Installed parallels 6 but cant install windows 7 Home Prem.
Copied windows disc to an iso image file under documents.
Keep getting error: No boot device is available
Tried 32 and 64 bit versions on disc.
Same problem using external drive. ?corrupted windows disc? Should I try another version of Win7?
Tried also with bootcamp and 20GB partition, still no luck.
Any hints or tips?
Thanks

Using an AZERTY keyboard with Windows 7 via parallels

Hi, really hope you can help, its very frustrating! I've got a macbook (10.6) with a french azerty keyboard. Its all fine using applications directly on the mac but when i use windows 7 via parallels, I don't get the correct symbols eg the button to the left of the 1 key is @ (or a # when shift is pressed as well)
I've tried changing the language to all the different french options eg canadian, moroccan etc but none of them have the correct layout
thanks in advance for any replies/advice

You probably need to change the keyboard layout in Windows
From his reference to French Moroccan I suspect he has already tried that. The problem may be that no Windows layout exactly matches the Mac layout, as is the case with several languages. But maybe there is a work-around short of someone having to create a Windows custom keyboard layout.

Can I play games on my MacBook Pro by using an external graphics card and using windows via a software called "Parallels Desktop" or do I have to use Boot Camp (I have both installed)

Can I use Windows Parallel to play games? I mean will it not get enough power? Like I clearly remember that I read some where one my system that the Paralels is getting only 1 GB of my ram. I have the mid 2012 MacBook Pro, the $1500 one.

You shouldn't use Parallels to pay games. If you want to play games you need to install Windows via Bootcamp so that it has access to all the resources available.

I have an imac bought late 2013, can i use it as a display for the new mac pro? I also want to use windows 8 on it, would this work with parallels or bootcamp?

Yes, it supports target display mode. Windows can be run with either Parallels or Boot Camp.

Should I Use Boot Camp or Parallels for use of a Windows Desktop?

I am migrating from a PC to a Mac; I want to take advantage of having a Windows desktop to run some apps until i buy Mac equivalent software;
I have Tiger, but am installing Leopard this weekend;
Should I Use Boot Camp or Parallels for use of a Windows Desktop?
I am tempted by not having to reboot, but i don't want my mac to slow down?
I am a photographer and use Photoshop and other graphics intensive programs.

Hi,
to achieve full computing power while in Windows you have to use BootCamp and for Photoshop and other apps of that caliber in Windows its the best.
For apps less demanding using Parallels (VMWare Fusion) is sufficient enough and the slight downgrade in speed is negligible.
You should however (if not already done) max out the RAM of your Mac.

I just downloaded Autocad to my downloads file, how do I take it from there to my Parallels Desktop without using "Windows Explorer"?

Did you download it from Adobe or a pop up? If it was a pop up do not open it. Make sure you only get it directly from Adobe here:
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
There is some malware that poses as Flash, in pop ups.
Then do as macbig explained double click on the file,
After you open and install the .dmg reboot your computer to complete the installation

I want to use QuickBooks for my very snmall bussinesso the recommendation from my accountant was QuickBooks (Windows). I just do not understand enough to decide whether to buy QuickBooks for Apple or Windows and use it in the Parallels world?

QuickBooks for Mac has been available again since at least 2004 (Intuit before that had done nothing with it for years). The current version is QB for Mac 2014. It's pretty much the same price no matter where you look.
The Mac version data is not directly compatible with the Windows version. Sending your data out to your business tax accountant and getting it back in is not at all easy. It's such a pain, our accountant comes here to finalize the books at year end.
There is still also a lot of Windows features for QB Pro which have never been added to the Mac version. They're all on the higher end side that larger businesses would need. I've never run into anything with the Mac version I couldn't do.
If your accountant wants ease of data transfer, then you'd be better off purchasing Snow Leopard Server and run that in Parallels. Then run the Windows version of QB in that.

HT4818 Can you use both Bootcamp and Parallels with the same Windows 7 installed

I have Parallels installed with Windows 7. Can I use both Bootcamp and Parallels on the same machine depending on whether I just want to work in Windows all day (Bootcamp) or alternate during the same session (Parallels)?

You can, yes. But there is a complication: once you activate windows it will only be activated for one of the two methods you use. So, let's say you install into boot camp and activate windows. You can then install Parallels and it will find your boot camp installation, but when running in Parallels, Windows will report that it is not activated. Or, you can activate it in Parallels and when running in Boot Camp Windows will report that it is not activated. The reason for this is because Windows thinks it is running on different computers depending on how you boot it. This may not be an issue for you if you run Windows a lot one way and just occasionally the other way, so be sure to activate Windows in whichever method you use more often. Hope this helps!

IP Address using Windows with Parallels

Hi, I have a linux based satellite receiver with a 192.168 IP address and my MacBook Pro which also has a 192.168 IP address connected to my wireless router.
I have a program for editing channel info on my sat receiver which only works on Windows, I am running Windows XP via Parallels. No drama so far, everything works ok.
The problem I have is I need to FTP data to the sat receiver, no big deal except, the IP address that I get within Windows whilst running Parallels is a strange looking one, not a 192.168 address (I guess some kind of virtual IP address). From the VM, how can I access the 192.168 address of the sat receiver to be able to FTP the data I need ?? When I try to Ping I get destination host unreachable.
Cheers

Check the firewall settings on the mac side. Ping is a rather low-level protocol and may not be treated as well as FTP or web data. You should be able to FTP to any address in your local subnet from Windows. You may have to use passive FTP to avoid problems with the firewall.

Is it possible to have a phone line connected to a Mac Mini (OS X10.8.2) so you can use your computer with Parallels (Windows xp) to dial into a modem to download data being collected and stored at the remote location?

Hi, do you mean a real Dial-up Modem as in the old days?
As I recall, the Apple USB Modem won't work in 64 bit OSes, but there are others that will, I think this is one of them...

Or is the Modem on the other end Cable/DSL/FiberOptic?

I'm having trouble signing into the iCloud Control Panel. None of the iCloud suggested fixes work. I'm using Windows 7 on a PC. Is there a simple fix out there?

I'm probably doing this all wrong. Just in case here it is again.

Now this is the part I don't get. The book tells me to go to http://localhost:8080/ch1/Serv1 even though there are no files/folders that have the name Serv1.
Do you understand what the <servlet-mapping> declaration in the web.xml means? It is roughly just saying the appserver that it should port all requests on /Serv1 to the mentioned servlet.
a couple others like/ch1/WEB-INF/classes/Ch1Servlet.class and /ch1/WEB-INF/web.xml. The WEB-INF folder is not public accessible, so forget about that part.
"Resource not found" simply means that either the URL is wrong (case counts!) or that the resource is actually not there. I.e. not compiled, not deployed, not loaded, etcetera. Reading the appserver's startup logs might also help.
