Will I be able to run Windows XP on a virtual machine (such as VirtualBox) in Mountain Lion?

Hello. Will I be able to run Windows XP on a virtual machine (such as VirtualBox) in Mountain Lion? Currently, I have a Late-2009 MacBook with Snow Leopard, and I am planning on installing VirtualBox and Windows XP soon, then I'm planning on upgrading to Mountain Lion afterwards. Thanks.

Yes.

    In addition to installing Windows in Boot Camp so that it will run instead of Mac OS X, you can also install Windows as a Virtual Machine so that Windows and the Mac OS can run at the same time. To use a Virtual Machine, you'd need software such as VMware Fusion, Parallels, or Virtual Box.
    Note, however, that you may have some difficulty finding Windows 7 for sale. You may be stuck with Windows 8.1.

  • If I were to drag and drop files from an OSX 9 onto an external hard drive (1 TB), assuming there is still plenty of space left, will I be able to use this same external hard drive to back up my iMac (Mountain Lion)?

    If I were to drag and drop files from an OSX 9 onto an external hard drive (1 TB), assuming there is still plenty of space left, will I be able to use this same external hard drive to back up my iMac (Mountain Lion)?  And would it ask me if I want to initialize (thus erasing it) or eject the hard drive like the OSX 9 did?

    I was trying to follow this thread because I was curious about the OS 9 installation - until I realized you have another thread going about the very same subject, albeit with a different subject line.
    FWIW: it is best not to double post - things get far too confusing after a while.

  • I want to upgrade to Lightroom 5, but I'm concerned about compatibility with my 2008 intel Core 2 Duo iMac with only 4G of Ram.  Will I be able to run Lighroom 5 if I upgrade from Snow Leopard to Lion?

    I want to upgrade to Lightroom 5, but I'm concerned about compatibility with my 2008 intel Core 2 Duo iMac with only 4G of Ram.  Will I be able to run Lightroom 5 okay if I upgrade from Snow Leopard to Lion?  What will happen to the applications that aren't 64-bit compatible?  Also the Eye-one Display 2 colorimeter to calibrate the monitor will not run on Lion, so that will be an expensive upgrade to an i1DisplayPro. Is the upgrade important enough to offset the expense?  I have an Epson R2000 printer.  Will there be problems with the drivers if I upgrade to Lion?  It would be great to hear from other mac users who are also photographers and who print their own photos.    

    Before upgrading to Lion be sure to read this link:

    Adobe lists these requirements:

    Looking at http://www.everymac.com/ even the earliest 2008 iMac was fully 64 bit, even though Boot Camp doesn't support 64 bit Windows on that machine.

  • Is my computer ever going to be able to run windows again?

    I've installed and uninstalled windows so many times I've lost count. It has usually worked fine until recently when I installed it twice and the drivers for bluetooth failed after I woke it up from sleep mode. I unpartitioned my hard drive and did a disk repair and a permissions repair. If I install Windows again will it not work? Will I ever be able to run windows again?

    Nope, because the processor cannot handle it.

  • If I update from OS X 4.1 to OS X 6.8 will I be able to run software I was using on my defunct MacBook Pro running OS X 8?

    If I update from OS X 4.1 to OS X 6.8 will I be able to run various software I was using on my defunct MacBook Pro running OS X 8?

    It depends on whether or not the program supports 10.6.8. Some commercial software may need to be reinstalled from the original media/downloads.

  • My non intel Mac runs OS10.5.6 but won't run Firefox 4.0, will I be able to run it at a later date or is my G5 ready for the graveyard?

    Latest update says it won't run on my Mac (see question above) and current latest compatible version (3.6.17) will have full tech support for only a limited time now. Is there anything I can do to bring my Mac up to spec. Is it really a dinosaur already? Will I be able to run FF4.0 (or later) at a later dater date?
    Any answers appreciated, thanks... B

    Ah you have PPC version. Either you can keep using Firefox 3.6.* are try a third party version of Firefox 4.0.* at http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
    The Firefox 4.0 and newer downloads contains the 32-bit and 64-bit version for Intel at moment.

    I was able to run windows xp on maverick for several months now it's asking my to insert boot cd from the startup

    My computer is 2007 MacBook Pro I'm using the Maverick operating system. I was able to run windows xp on bootcamp until last week when I held down the option button during the startup to click on windows it's wasn't there, only the mac and recovery system where there. So when I went on my mac partition the bootcamp file system was still on my desktop and all the files where there. Then I tried to select the disk to startup to and found the windows system there clicked on it restarted my computer and it said please insert boot disk and press any key to continue

  • Will AppleWorks be able to run on Lion?

    will AppleWorks be able to run on Lion?

    Bobio,
    I am a High School Math teacher and I keep all the info regarding presences/absences and scores of my students in an AW 6 DB file of 255 fields — the maximum permitted by AW 6.
    This I can reconstruct in FileMaker Pro, from the scratch, before the next school year begins in february of 2012. I will not need the 2011 file's data because the file data starts each year.
    I know that I can make it better and more secure using FileMaker Pro.
    But, for this current school year, I should do nothing.
    The Expenses and the CheckBook, both AW 6 DB files cover more of 10 years and I would like to get all the data I have on those. With FileMaker Pro, I can even integrate both files in just one.
    If FileMaker Pro can import the data of a Numbers spreadsheet, I will get my data, exporting from AW 6 DB mode to an AW 6 SS mode, and then to Numbers.
    But I will not die just because this turns out to be impossible.
    I am certain of one thing: Bento is not sufficient for me. Either I will have Snow Leopard or I will move to FileMaker Pro.
    Best regards,
    Jorge Lucas (the guy from Rio Grande do Sul)

  • When updating iTunes to 11.4 I get the following error:  "Files Shared by these updates" has an invalid signature. It will not be installed. Running Windows 7 64-bit.

    When updating iTunes to 11.4 I get the following error:  "Files Shared by these updates" has an invalid signature. It will not be installed. Running Windows 7 64-bit.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • Deleting Boot Camp Partition to make a new larger one- Will I be able to reinstall Windows 7 on it?

    This may be more of a Windows question, but I'll ask it here. Right now, I have a Boot Camp partition on my iMac with Windows 7 installed on it. I want to dedicate more harddrive space to the partition, but can't make it larger. So, I need to delete the old one and make a whole new one. If I do that, will I be able to install Windows 7 on the new partition, or is the licence used up from when I originally installed it?
    Thanks

    Since you reinstall the same Windows 7 license onto the same computer it should be no problem.
    Worst case would be that you have to call Microsoft to activate the new Windows 7 installation, but telling them that it is a reinstall should be enough.
    Make sure to use the BootCamp Assistant for deleting the current BootCamp partition and for making the new one.
