Will bootcamp-adding windows make all normal windows programs work on my mac?

Hi, I'm not really sure how bootcamp works...
A few years ago I switched over to Mac and have really enjoyed using my mac, but the problem is, a lot of the video games I used to play with my little brother I cant download on my mac like I could on my old pc. if i got bootcamp, and it was the correct one and everything, would I be able to use all of these windows games/ programs that I can't use right now?
For example, i cannot download a game call s4 league on mac because they only have a windows version. if i use bootcamp, will that mean i will be able to download it?
Thanks sooo much!

Boot Camp Assistant you have, it is in Utilities.
Windows you have to buy.
Depending in your MBP as to graphics capability but those can't be changed. Adding RAM and new hard drive in earlier models like yours probably can be upgraded. But not processor or gpu.
Boot Camp is a partitioning tool and set of drivers. Period.

  • Does the hp deskjet f380 all-in-one can work on a mac os x 10.7.5 ?

    does the hp deskjet F380 all-in-one can work on a mac os x 10.7.5 ? I bought my all-in-one F380 in october 2007 and I would like to use it on my new computer Mac OS X 10.7.5 bougt in december 2011. The DVD from 2007 seems to be unavailable now on my computer. Can you provide me a new way th install the F380 ? Thanks in advance,

     Update:I use mac OS 10.10, but i scrolled down in the driver download menu and selected mac OS 10.6. There I downloadedHP Deskjet PSC and office jet full feature software and drivers v 10.3. This gave me access to full feature software including utility, customer partcipation and scanner software. HP printer software V. 3.1 then automatically downloaded when i clicked apple update in the application store. Interestingly however this is not the version mentioned in the software I use though. Post download, the version of the printer driver mentioned for Deskjet F380 is v2.05 and the version for the utility software is 5.24.2 valid till 2015. Now both my HP Deskjet F380 and  HP PSC 1310 all-in-one PRINT Thanks HP! ISSUES: HOWEVER neither can SCAN! while the F380 shows a scanning error, the PSC 1310 doesn't even pop up as a selectable device to scan with! PLEASE FIX THIS HP! FAST!!     

  • How can I make my PowerPC/Windows programs work in Mac OS X Lion?

    In a few months I will be buying a MacBook Pro and I have a lot of old games that I would like to be able to play on it. But those games are Windows/PowerPC only and Mac OS X Lion does not support PowerPC. How can I make my old programs work in Mac OS X Lion?

    For porting Windows programs to Mac OS X, you can check out Wineskin.  It can be very simple to very hard to do though... its all a case by case basis.  The older the game is the more likely you are to get it to work easily though.

  • How do I make my FireWire/USB Drive work on a Mac and windows computers

    I have an Iomega Fire wire/USB 2.0 Potable hard drive I know that to use the hard drive on Windows the hard drive must be set for both Windows and Mac I forgot where to go on my Mac to do this. Its been a while since I had to do this thanks.

    The drive must be formatted as MS-DOS for it to be seen natively by a windows machine. The problem with this is you are limited to a 2gb file size limit - which can be a real problem with video files.
    There is a PC program called MacDrive that will enable a windows machine to see and access Mac formatted drives. Mac formatted drives do not have the file size limit.
    Good luck,

  • Will Most Windows Peripherals work with the MAC Pro?

    Im considering getting a MAC Pro... Unfortunately, I just invested on 2 PCI-E graphics cards (256 MB each)... will they work with the MAC Pro? Will apple sell me a MAC Pro with little options?

    Only PCIe cards with EFI type BIOS, so no. They will work in Windows just fine, just not in OS X.
    The stock configuration is fine and probably ideal anyway with the Nvidia 7300 GT, though most would recommend Radeon X1900 XT
    There is only one 16x lane slot.
    you might want to wait until Apple 'refreshes' the one year old Mac Pro line, either in the fall or wait until January MacWorld SF show. (eventually AMDs and Nvidia's latest offerings due later this year have a 99.999% chance of being adopted in some form).

  • Windows programs on new Intel Mac

    Hi there,
    I have a 20" iMac G5 at home, a Macbook and now at work, I am thinking of getting a 20" iMac Intel.
    Now, I will need to run programs such as matlab and many other data/scientific programs at work - in windows mode. Everyone else runs things in windows and also they only have a site licence for the windows products.
    Thus, I figure I either get a DELL or get an iMac. I am just wondering what problems people are having running windows programs on the mac.
    Secondly, which application is better for running windows? Can I use parallels or something? I want to be able to switch between the OS systems easily and if at all possible - drag and drop from Mac OSX (email attachment for example) into windows or vice versa...
    Any tips appreciated.
    Martin
    P.S. Feel free to check out my new site web.mac.com/martinirwin

    If all the software you intend to use requires Windows, then there is little point in buying a Mac just to run Windows' applications. It would make more sense to buy a Windows' computer.
    You can run Windows on a Mac in one of several ways. You can install Apple's Boot Camp software which lets you boot the computer directly into Windows and essentially be running Windows as if on Windows' hardware.
    You can purchase Parallels Desktop for Mac which is virtualization software that allows you to install many different guest OSes including all extant versions of Windows and several flavors of Unix/Linix. Parallels is nearly as fast as Boot Camp except for 3D video which does not use hardware acceleration as does Boot Camp. Thus, video intensive applications such as games will not work as well as they would running under Boot Camp. However, Parallels enables you to run the guest OS in a separate window concurrently with OS X. Boot Camp requires booting directly into Windows.
    Last, there is CrossOver (currently in beta) that allows you to run Windows applications without actually installing Windows. However, it suffers from the same video problems as Parallels. Furthermore, you can only use Windows' applications that have been "converted" to work with CrossOver and those applications must be downloaded from the developers (Codeweavers.)
    Hope this is helpful.

  • When will Adobe finally make a Flash Player that works well on Mac OS X?

    Every single Mac user in the world has issues with Adobe Flash Player. Whether it be crashing, slowness or temperature bursts of the computer, everyone has some issue. Flash for Windows is a well-developed plugin and works well, unlike Mac’s version. It has been years now and Adobe has done nothing. My question is, when will something be done. Is there a way to fix all these issues, Adobe, or is that to difficult for you? Thanks and post your thoughts.

    Funny, my Imac is the only box here that does NOT have issues with it,
    and Im running FF 3.5.4 and Flash 10,0,32,18
    ALL windows boxen are broke, and all run the latest Flash and Firefox 3.5.4
    They work on the flash test site fine, but NOT on Youtube, where I need
    them most.

  • Running windows programs on a power mac g5

    Hi i have a power mac g5 and was wondering if there was any way that i could run windows programs on it. I noticed that there was a program called parralle boot? But as i am awear you need to have an intel mac to make this work. Is there any way to make this happen for me?

    Virtual PC (from Microsoft) was the way to run Windows on a PowerPC Mac. It did it by emulation, so it's not as fast as the current +virtual machine+ options, such as Parallels Desktop and VMware Fusion on Intel Macs. It should work reasonably well on a Power Mac G5, but it will still be slow compare to running Windows on a real Intel PC.
    Microsoft no longer offers Virtual PC for Mac, but it is available from retailers if you search online. The last version was 7, and you can download updaters to update any version 7 release to 7.0.3.

  • NEED WINDOWS PROGRAM TO LOAD ON MAC AIR

    HI, I HAVE A NEW MAC AIR AND I HAVE REAL ESTATE MLS PROGRAMS THAT I NEED TO LOAD BUT THEY ARE WINDOWS. I DOWNLOADED CROSSOVER, PARALLELS, INTERNET EXPLORER VERSION 5 & 8 AND I STILL CAN'T GET THIS TO LOAD. I HAVE BEEN ON THE PHONE FOR 3 DAYS OFF AND ON PROBABLY 15 HOURS AND COUNTING. SO FRUSTRATED. I HAVE TILL THE 12TH AND THEN I WILL HAVE TO RETURN IT AND GET CHARGED 10% AS PENANCE. HOW DO I ACTUALLY GET IE TO LOAD ON CROSSOVER OR PARALLELS? THE APPLE GUY SAID IT JUST FINDS IT? NOT ON MY COMPUTER - IT HIDES FROM IT. SOME SAID I HAD TO HAVE AN OPTICAL CD/DVD DRIVER TO LOAD WINDOWS SO I BOUGHT ONE BUT THEN ANOTHER "GENIUS" SAID NO, DON'T LOAD WINDOWS WHATEVER YOU DO IT WILL TAKE UP ROOM AND YOU DON'T NEED IT. ANYWAY, I AM SO FRUSTRATED. I AM GOING ON VACATION AND NEED TO BE ABLE TO USE THIS MLS LISTINGS PROGRAM WHILE I AM AWAY. CAN ANYONE HELP?

    For starters, please don't type in ALL CAPS. It's hard to read and gives us the impression that you're shouting at us.
    Since this is not a Mac issue, for support with running IE through Crossover, I suggest you contact Codeweavers support or post your question on the Codeweavers forums:
    http://www.codeweavers.com/support/forums/
    Parallels requires an installation of Windows to work, otherwise it's useless to you. You just install Windows, then open up IE and you're done. For instructions on installing Windows through Parallels, consult the Parallels User Guide that was installed in the Parallels folder. For support with Parallels, post your question on the Parallels forums: http://forums.parallels.com

  • Windows Programs Working on Mac

    Is there any way that Windows programs can work on a Mac? Is there a good, free program that allows this to happen?

    There is one program that claims to do just that and that is *[_Crossover for Mac_|http://www.codeweavers.com/products/cxmac>*. This however is not free and it cost $39.95. The only drawback is that it is not fully compatible with the latest Windows software. If you choose to explore this option then be sure to take a look at their compatibility list which is posted on their website.
    If you have some serious work to do within the Windows environment then I recommend either installing Windows on your intel mac or getting a Windows based PC.

  • "Adobe Premiere Pro 6 Quit Unexpectedly" - after deleting Cache files.  All other Adobe programs working.

    I went in and deleted Cached files after repeatedly getting the 'scratch disks are full' message.  I have done this before and have had no issues.  However, this time it comes up with a crash message whenever I open Premiere Pro 6.  All other Adobe programs are working fine.
    Does anyone know what could be wrong?  Have I accidentally deleted something crucial?  How can I fix this?

    If you have a 64bit Windows adding more ram will allow Windows to use that ram, and provide more to CS4

  • Will BootCamp install Windows on an external drive?

    Instead of partitioning the onboard SSD of my 2011 MacBook Air, I was wondering if I could connect an external drive to put Windows on and boot into Windows from that device. Is that possible?
    Thanks!

    No, you can run Mac OS from there though and keep the SSD for Windows.
    Realize this has been said 100s of times and a quick search with Google/Bing/Yahoo would also answer.

  • What is the 3rd party player that will open a windows media player on the MAC

    What 3rd party player provides the ability to open .wmv file on a Mac? We have QuickTime Player but it does not recognize the file.

    Thanks for responding Barney-15E. I did install the free version of Flip4Mac prior to sending my question out to the community. I still could not open the file. After I installed Flip4Mac a window opened stating QuickTime Player does not recognize the file. How do you make it go through Flip4Mac instead of QuickTime Player?
