Will Parallels work with XP SP1 on imac?

PC user switching over to Mac. I'm getting my new intel based imac and wanted to ask if my OEM disc of XP pro Sp1 will work with PARALLELS during installation, if not, what are my options...
Will my XP SP1 serial key work with somebody else's XP SP2 Disc ?

It depends. Retail versions will work fine, but many OEM disks contain modifications that lock them to a particular hardware configuration (for example, you wouldn't expect to be able to use the WinXP install disk that came with your HP desktop -- it won't work).
If you purchased an "OEM" disk with a white-box PC, there's a decent chance it will work fine.
The serial keys can also be locked to a particular vendor. So, the serial number on the OEM disk may not be usable with another OEM or retail disk.

ITunes will not work with my computer. iMac G3 processor, OS 10.4.11

Original message posted about a week ago - I have an iMac, OS is 10.4.11. I just updated my Quicktime software to 7.5, I also updated my iTunes to 8.2.1 (I think, it is definitely higher than 8.0). When I would open up iTunes. I would get this message. (We could not complete your iTunes Store request. The iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later). This was happening before I did the current downloads. I had no trouble about 3-4 weeks ago. I was able to get into the iTunes store and download song. I am pretty annoyed to say the least. Apple makes it so difficult to get information, unless you do endless searches. Trying to contact customer service is a whole other nightmare. They offer this software for free, yet they want you to pay for everything. As you can imagine, I am not happy and venting is helping. So I am hoping there are some other people out there with similar problems who can help. Nothing has been changed or altered on my computer. I have no problem connecting to the internet. No passwords or ID's have been changed. As mentioned I updated my software to the highest, most current software available that my operating system can handle. So if anyone out there knows what is going on, or can help. Please advise. Thanks, from a very frustrated apple user! You can email me direct too <[email protected]>
Updated message 12/9/10 - I updated my iTunes version to 9.2.1. Now my iTunes will not open. When I do try to open it, It says that this program will only work with G4, and G5 processors. I don't know what to do. I can't afford a new computer right now. Any suggestions???? PLEASE HELP!!I am so frustrated!!! Thanks for your help.

OK - to answer my own question, Apple recommend 8.2.1, but you can install 9.1.1 and it will run on a G3. Very slowly. Looks like this is the only option. Get it here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1036. You need OSX 10.4.11 or later though....

Will Parallels work with OSX Lion?

A friend has just bought an iMac which still has Snow Leopard. He was wanting to upgrade to OSX Lion but has heard that Rosetta is no longer available in Lion (which he currently needs to run an older language program)
He was thinking about using Parallels and running the Windows version of this program, but needs to know if currently available versions of Parallels will work on Lion.
He can't use bootcamp because his Windows machine OS is WinXP and there is no point in buying Windows 7 just for this one program.
Or should he not upgrade for the time being?
Has anyone had experience with Lion and Parallels please?
Thanks
Ross

Thanks so much for that information - I'll tell our friend.
All the best
Ross

Get a Virtual Macine software program, Parallels, VMware Fusion or VirtualBox, and install XP in a virtual machine.
You can't install XP in a Boot Camp Partition with Lion or Mt Lion, only Win 7.

You need to install the Windows version. The serial number for the Mac version should work with the Windows version.

I have a new imac with imovie 11 however my hd everio camcorder will only work with imovie 8 or 9 how do i download imovie 9? all i can find are updates and my mac says i don't need it

i have a new imac with imovie 11 however my everio hd camcorder will only work with imovie 8 or 9. i tried to download imovie 9 but my mac says i don't need the update. How can i download imovie 8 or 9 complete not the update?

I really appreciate all your help. Today I spent some time on the problem. First I purchased any video converter from the ap store and then I connected the camera to the mac with the original usb cable that came with the camera. I turned on the camera and selected backup on pc and the logo came up on my home page. I opened it and after several attempts i found the 3 video files that were on the camera. I then converted them from a tod file to mp4 and then transfered them to imovie. Now I have to figure out how to send the video to youtube or move it to an external hard drive which I have not been able to do. So far I am not too fond of imovie 11. If you could send me the download for imovie 6 I then could try that route. When talking to apple support yesterday about the problem they suggested to get Final Cut Express. It's 200 bucks so before i order the install disc i would like to try your suggestion. My email address is [email protected] Again I thank you very much for your help! George

I just bought a new iMac and am ready to purchase Logic Pro X, but I have a Presonus Fire Studio Project with a firewire 400 as my connection. Will this work with my new iMac? I purchased the Presonus around 2007.

I just bought a new iMac 10.9 and am wanting to purchase Logic Pro X. My question is I have a 2007 Presonus Fire Studio Project 8 channel input box that hooks up with firewire 400 I believe, will this work with Logic ProX on my new iMac?

You will need a Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter... may also need a Firewire 800 to 400 connector/adapter.
Also need to make sure Presonus has Maverick drivers for the FSP.

Will my lexmark 8350 work with my intel based iMac running leopard

I have a lexmark 8350 all-in-one printer. Will it work with my iMac?
Thanks

Seems that Lexmark does not make a driver for OS X nor is one included with OS X.
Best to return it and find one that has drivers for OS X. If you want a Lexmark product, then here you will find the lists of compatible products.

Will Kingston KTA-MB1600/8G work with my late 2013 iMac

Will Kingston KTA-MB1600/8G work with my late 2013 iMac?

Maybe, maybe not. Macs are intolerant of RAM that does not meet Apple's stringent specifications.
http://store.apple.com/us/mac/mac-accessories/memory
Other than Apple there are only two vendors with which I have personal experience and can recommend: Crucial and OWC. People have reported problems with many other brands, yet Crucial and OWC's prices are as good as any you are likely to find.
Go to Crucial and download the little app that examines your system and recommends RAM upgrade options.
Their prices are good but don't have to buy memory from them - determine what you need and buy it from Crucial or OWC / MacSales.

My wife and I have separate Ids but all our music is in one library. How will this work with iCloud?

My wife and I have separate Ids but all our music is in one library. How will this work with iCloud? i'm trying to download past purchases from her id, but itunes is saying that I can't because the computer is associated with my apple id. Can I associate the computer with both ids for the purpose of identifying all of our music with both or just one of our ids? Is there a good way to do this? I'm sure we're not the only people with this problem...
Using 2 iphone 3gs, ipad, mac mini, appletv, itunes for windows, macbook, and imac.

iTunes- How to share music between different user accounts on a single computer
You cannot merge two separate libraries across user accounts. Photos does not have the function of merging different Photos.library files. If you have Aperture then you can merge the two before migrating over to Photos.

Will Lion work with older programs

I have lots of older programs including Adobe CS, Adobe CS3, Eudora 6.2, etc. that work fine on my iMac running 10.6.8 with i3 processor, will they work with Lion if I upgrade? Just checking before I download the update. Thanks for any info.

CS3 runs but reportedly has issues. Adobe CS, the original version, will not work, nor will any application that is PowerPC only, since Lion no longer supports PowerPC applications. If you don't know what apps are PowerPC only, Get Info on the app, and in the Kind section, it will say. Apps that say either "Intel" or "Universal" at least have the potential to run, though there are other factors involved in Lion compatibility. The RoaringApps site is a useful resource:
http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
though the most definitive method of confirming compatibility is to check with the developer.

Will Leopard work with my 667 TiBook?

Will Leopard work with my 667 powerbook? Will it be too slow and pig out? or is it going to be alright? I'm hoping to get a newer MAcbook Pro sometime mid year but I'd like to be current althogh I've never gone to Tiger. I love Tiger it's in my iMac at home.

Hi, Looter. I read your caveat. Questions about iPods are much more likely to be answered usefully in the iPod forums than here, so if you're interested in advice from anyone besides Sevenfish who may be able to help solve your problem, that's where to post. No offense intended.
Your observation about Sevenfish's "reply" posted yesterday is interesting. All inactive threads in the Discussions are archived off and become locked (they used to become completely inaccessible) after a predetermined period of time has elapsed since the last post in the thread. The time before archiving-off varies from one forum to another: it's usually shorter in the most active forums and longer in the less active ones in my experience, but there may be exceptions. Either Sevenfish just happened to post again immediately before his post was archived off yesterday, or else there's an exception to the "replies are not allowed" rule for the original poster of an archived thread — maybe so the OP will be able to mark a question "Answered" and not have it show up as unanswered forever on his or her "My Questions" page. I don't know which is the case. Thanks for pointing out the oddity.
