  • Can I use a Power PC non intel Mac Mini as an external HD with my iMac 3.06

    I can't figure out how to get this to work. Is it possible?

    No. There is no "USB Target Disk Mode".
    Just so we're clear, when you start your Mac mini in FireWire Target Disk Mode (TDM - holding T on startup), do you see a FireWire icon on the Mac mini's display? IIRC, it's not required that the Mac mini be connected to a display for TDM, but it would help diagnose whether or not the mini is actually starting in this mode.

    Since you posted this in the iPod Touch forum and didn't provide enough information to contradict that I am going to say the it can't be done. VMWare does work in iPods.

  • Using MacBook backup with non-Intel Mac laptop

    I'm scheduled for a computer replacement at work (not a new one, but a hand-me-down from someone else). I was originally told it would have to be a Windows PC (grrr), but then it turned out that someone who recently left for another job had a Mac laptop that I can have instead. I'm not sure exactly what model it is, but it's my understanding that it's only a year or two old. I assume it will be an iBook or a PowerBook.
    I'm wondering if I can use my MacBook backup (which is on an external harddrive and is bootable) to boot up a non-Intel Mac laptop. Since I have to send my MacBook back in for repair (second round of RSD), I was hoping that once I get this older laptop I could just boot from my external and keep on working as if I still had my MacBook (without the ability to use Windows of course). I assume all the programs (except Parallels) would be compatible, but would the system files work?

    I don't think it will allowed you to boot from that external that installed with os X 10.4.x (compiled for macintel version).
    But surely you can use the data in it if you have proper or similar program at the older portable mac.
    But if you willing to try it, it won't hurt, just connect that external and restart while pressing the option key, and if it shows as an option for start up, click on it and see how it goes. If nothing happen, simply shutdown the laptop and restart regularly using its own hd.
    Good Luck.

  • Running Autodesk Inventor using Fusion or Parallel on Intel Mac

    I need to be able to run Autodesk Inventor and DO NOT want to purchase a PC to do it. If I use VMware Fusion or Parallel on an Intel Mac will it operate without any glitches. Our tech guy said that the keyboard shortcuts are not going to be the same, is that true and are there any other issues I will come up against (i.e. system speed, ram, video card etc.)

    Hi and welcome to Discussions,
    your signature says that you are using PPC-Macs (Power Mac; Powerbook).
    Parallels and Fusion only work on Intel-Macs.
    Same for BootCamp.
    So, if your sig is still uptodate, you are out of luck.
    Your tech guy might refer to the fact, that Apples keyboards have a slightly different layout than the usual PC keyboard.
    See here for a comparison: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304270
    On Intel-Macs some guys round here and in the BootCamp Forum have reported success in running Autodesk software on their Intel-Macs.
    Please do a search for these threads.
    Regards

  • Booting Windows on Intel Mac from an external Firewire/USB hard disk?

    Is it possible to boot an Intel iMac from an external hard disk - in target disk mode etc., without having to install Boot Camp?
    I have a spare drive with installed XP on it and I need to find out what is on the drive before re-formatting. However, I only have my mac in which to do so. The extra disk will be used in an external firewire/USB 2.0 caddy. I have researched some methods, but they are all very long winded and require a PC or the creation of a Windows partition on my start-up disk using Boot Camp.

    "Is it possible to boot an Intel iMac from an external hard disk - in target disk mode etc., without having to install Boot Camp?"
    No.

  • How to use a specific windows software on Mac

    Hi all,
    I have (and love) a new Macbook Air, having switched from years of PC use.
    Ran into a hiccup as I do a few hours of teaching a week though a company called Talkbean (http://tutor.talkbean.com/displayEng.do?cmd=siteMain) and they have specific software I have downloaded....which I now find it only compatible with windows.
    I've read through other topics and see that using boot camp (and other programs) I could also run windows on my MBA....but I'd prefer not to do that if I can avoidit - I don't need anything else other than this piece of software a few hours a week.  Also don't fancy purchasing windows after just forking out for a new laptop!
    The likes of Crossover and Virtual box look more appealing, but seem to be aimed at gaming (maybe I'm wrong!) and unsurprisingly the software I need is not on their lists.  I'm struggling to figure it out myself. Would one of these programs be suitable for using this piece of software? 
    Any help at all sooo much appreciated!

    CrossOver is a program that lets you run some Windows software withhout installing Windows. The emphasis is on some. At their website Crossover rates the supported software on a scale from Bronze to Gold - if the program you need to run is supported at the Gold standard you will probably be okay. Silver and Bronze ratings means the rated Windows software will run but with glitches or even missing functionality. (Silver being better support than Bronze, obviously.)
    Virtualization solutions such as VirtualBox (or the more capable and feature laden Parallels Desktop and VMWare Fusion) let you install another operating system (and software) to use at the same time as you use your Mac software. It is a nifty solution and while virtualization isn't quite as fast as running an OS totally native (BootCamp) the speed hit isn't all that significant and affects graphics rendering more than anything else.
    I'm an IT instructor and software trainer and about 80% of this work involves Windows software. I do it using a Mac computer running Windows in Parallels Desktop. If it weren't for the Apple logo on my notebook no one would know I'm using a Mac - and the notebook in virtualization feels faster than the cheap Dell computers we use.

  • Use illustrator CS6 Windows in a  Mac ? I've got a pc and want to work on an imac, but is there no way to use my softwares adobe windows ?

    Hi.
    All is in the title.
    If anyone could answer me.
    I've got a licence illustrator CS6 windows,  and It would sound me incredible, not to be possible use it on mac.
    Thanks a lot.
    Aurélien

    Thanks a lot Mylenium.
    Another question, please : I still have a little doubt with terms (I'm french and my english is not perfect). If I request a platform swap for Illustrator CS6, the new platform product still will be a CS6 ? Because switch to the new version CC would be as if I hadn't yet bought a licence (a subscription would mean pay twice...).
    Thank you for your answer.

  • 8130 trying to use BB desktop software using Parrallels for Windows on a MAC

    I have a blackberry 8130 which I used to sync on a Windows machine using the BB desktop software.  It worked great allowing me to transfer my contacts from Act! contact management software.
    I have moved to a Mac and use Parrallels software to run Windows in the background on my Mac.  All my software works fine but i cannot get the blackberry desktop software to recognize my 8130.  ie - it does not show it as connected.
    Suggestions? 

    When configuring your Parallels windows profile, make sure that the USB ports are bridged into the client (windows) operating system. It's the same thing as with the CD-Rom drive, except that you may need to enter the configuration screen, and explicitly state that you want the USB connections to be mapped to windows as well.

  • How to access using VNC from Windows XP to Mac G5 (OsX 10.4)

    Hi, I read all the technical documentation about the compatibility to open from a Mac Machine a Windows Server using the VNC.
    My problem is different. I have a Mac Server, and I want to see it using my Windows Laptop.
    Do you think is it possible? What is the software I can use to obtain the full control how the Apple Remote Desktop?
    Thanks a lot for your help.
    Salvatore

    "Do you think is it possible?"
    Yes
    "What is the software I can use to obtain the full control"
    Turn on VNC access in the Remote Desktop section of the Sharing System Preferences, then use any Windows VNC client.

  • USB not mounting - Used on a windows, then a Mac, then not working anymore

    Hello!
    Yesterday a faculty member gave me a USB so I could transfer a few files to it for her. She uses Windows computers but I use a MacBook Pro. It worked fine on my MacBook and I transfered the files, then ejected. However, I noticed even after I ejected and pulled the USB drive out it said I did not eject properly (or something like that).
    Today, she tells me that she cannot get it to open on her computer (Windows) that it wanted her to format it - which she did not do. I tried opening it up back on my computer and it does not mount.
    An alert did pop up saying "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer." OPTIONS: "Initialize, ignore, or Eject."
    I click "Initialize..." and it shows this...
    As you can see, the "8.03 GB JetFlash Transc.." is not giving me the option to Verify or Repair.
    I have ran into a problem before where once I put the drive in my Mac, it wasn't usable for Windows again - but I could still use it on my Mac. But this is different, it does not seem to work on either platforms.
    I would be MOST appreciative for any help you may provide.
    Thanks!

    Actually, I didn't find the FMLE forum until after I posted here. I realized that all the Flash pieces were under "Flash." Doh!!
