Will Windows Vista Work

Okay here is my problem, my desk top which ran off of Windows XP crashed. It's not worth fixing either. My laptop has Vista loaded on it, will my ipod work with Vista. I have heard a while back that it won't but need some go aheads from people who have Vista and it is working fine.

i'd be very careful about that. lots of people have had problems with ipods and vista, including failed ipods and crashes. but then again as you said , it has been ok in some cases. so its all up to you on that.

Will Windows Vista work with Bootcamp 3.0.4 (325)?

Will Windows Vista work with Bootcamp 3.0.4 (325)? the documentation says that I need a Win 7 installation disc. I don't want windows 7; I want Windows Vista.
How do I install the drivers?

You don't provide any info regarding your computer but Vista is not supported by the newer Apple computers: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4410
You could use a VM like Parallels, Fusion, or VirtualBox to install Vista.

Will Windows VIsta run on a Mac?

Hence the title, will Windows Vista run on a Mac?
24 inch iMac Intel Core 2 Duo Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Apple has not provided any info as to whether or not Boot Camp will support Vista. You'll just have to wait and see.

Will windows vista 64-bit run on the Macbook pro 2.33 ghz newest one?

I am contemplating on whether or not I should buy the 64 bit version of windows vista ultimate for my macbook pro, and im not sure if my computer is 64 bit capable .. let alone know what that means. Do I even need the 64 bit version? how will it help me? and will it even work on my mac?! help greatly appreciated ...

Practically speaking I think it's a waste of money unless you use Windows all the time in which case I would wonder why you have a Mac. I assume you have a Mac because that's what you use. Having Windows capability is just an after-thought and not a necessity. At least that's the impression I get from your posts.
In some cases, yes, 64-bit software could be slower because there's twice as much information that needs be processed at one time. Not all 64-bit applications will run faster than 32-bit applications. There are presently not that many 64-bit applications available, and you will have to pay additional money to replace your 32-bit versions with 64-bit versions most likely.
Does it hurt? Of course not. Is it practical? Not really for the casual Windows needs of a Mac user.

Will Windows Vista Ultimate upgrade using Win 7 Enterprise Upgrade

My pc is currently running Windows Vista Ultimate 32 bit. It was running 64 bit originally, but because of certain business applications that only ran on 32 bit, we had to downgrade to 32 bit. By the time they got the programs updated, it was
too late (cost and time-wise) to return to 64 bit version.
I recently purchased Windows 7 Enterprise 32 bit, because a Microsoft technical support person told me that Enterprise would be the upgrade to use. When I recently read "Windows 7 Upgrade Paths" it appears this is not the case. Will
I be able to upgrade from Vista Ultimate to Win 7 Enterprise, as I was advised? If not, then Microsoft just cost me a lot of money!!
Thanks
Dave

Hello Dave,
Based on my research, Windows Vista Ultimate can’t upgrade to Windows 7 enterprise.
For more information, please take a look at the following article about Windows 7 upgrade path.
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd772579(v=ws.10).aspx
Windows Vista Ultimate can only upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate.
Please contact the support to check if you can return the Windows 7 enterprise. For more information about return, please take a look at the following article.

What will Windows Vista mean to Java Developers?

I just happened to read my first article on Vista today.
More specifically this awesome (and scathing) top 10 list by
Windows competetitors:
http://www.informationweek.com/story/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=195900152
It made me wonder, though itll take 2-3 years before we see
widespread adoption of Vista by anyone what does this mean for
Java developers?
Do you think the new graphics engine will mean cool new Swing
components?
Is Sun working on a new Windows JVM?
As David Girouard from google points out theres a huge uprising
in open source software, so anyway i think Java will become even
more relevant.
My number one curiosity!!!
Will Java be able to take advantage of this new Vista desktop Gadgets stuff?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_gadgets
I think that would be a great area for new Java development.
Really fun things could be made.
In researching it though it seems like a ripoff of Yahoo Widgets
which Wikipedia claims is a JavaScript engine.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konfabulator
So though Java and JavaScript are hardly the same thing,
it seems like its been down and could be done better in Java ; )
If Gadgets is a Windows OS dependent thing it would be nice
to see Java support for it. THough i guess it would have to be
3rd party and not part of the core libraries.
Best Quote Ever: "Our friends up north spend over $5 billion a year on R&D, and yet these days all they seem to be able to do is to try to copy Google and Apple," CEO Steve Jobs said in August at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference.
Ive seen a lot of lame trolls around lately. I figured a fun conversation is what the forums need lately ; )

It made me wonder, though itll take 2-3 years before we see
widespread adoption of Vista by anyone what does this mean for
Java developers?Not much. Java runs on almost anything, and also on Vista.
Java on Vista: Yes, it Works (Chet Haase's Blog)
Do you think the new graphics engine will mean cool new Swing
components?I'm sure that there will be people who'll write cool new Swing components.
Is Sun working on a new Windows JVM?Sun is working on a new JVM all the time! Java 6.0 is due to come out in December and they're already working on Java 7.0 also.
There's no need to write a completely new JVM for Vista, as the current version of the Windows JVM already runs on Vista.

Will windows 8 work on a late 2009 27 inch iMac

I have a late 2009 27 inch iMac, 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB RAM
I recently upgraded to Yosemite, 10.10.2
I have previously run Windows XP in Bootcamp
I need to upgrade my Windows because my banking software upgrade no longer works with XP
The questions:
Am I limited to which Windows I can get, 7.8. 8.1? Will any of these work?
A few weeks ago I used a link I came across while browsing the Apple support page on this topic, it analyzed my machine and recommended that I get Windows 7, 32 bit
But I see that the new Bootcamp 5.1 will only run 64 Bit
So which Windows should I buy,? 7,8,8.1? and 32 or 64 Bit?
And what Windows drivers might I have on my machine with Yosemite or be able to upgrade to?
Windows is not cheap, so I do not want to buy something that will not work

Windows 8 will not work on your iMac. Please refer to the Boot Camp system requirements, System requirements to install Windows on your Mac via Boot Camp - Apple Support, to see which Windows will work with Boot Camp and your computer. With respect to drivers, Boot Camp Assistant will provide a link to download the correct drivers.
Alternatively, instead of using Boot Camp, you can use a virtual machine such as Parallels or Fusion to install any version of Windows on your computer. Virtual hardware and drivers are used if using a virtual machine.

Will Windows 7 work with no problems on a Mac yet?

I have a Mac Mini, 2.0ghz Intel Core 2 Duo model.
I don't know how accurate or not this is, but I remember hearing that Apple mentioned they would release an update for Window s7 compatibility in Boot Camp late 2009.
Has this update been released yet or no? If not, I hope it isn't delayed to late 2010 and I have to wait forever to get Windows 7 on my mac, I already have a sealed copy waiting to be installed.
What is the missing incompatibility anyway? What won't work right if I were to install it now on my Mac Mini?

Has this update been released ye
No
What is the missing incompatibility anyway?
You may be missing a couple drivers. Or maybe not. You won't know until you install it.
For further related questions you should really post them in the Boot Cam forums:

I cannot select "selected folders" in itunes for my home sharing for apple tv....running windows 7...my laptop running windows vista works great....thoughts....?

please read my title.......

its good that you jsut got it, apple products have a 90 complimentary support window for initial setup issues and things like that for new products and software that you buy from them.
i would recommend calling them at 1 800 275 2273 or 1 800 APL CARE with teh serial number for teh AppleTV for support to get that working correctly.
It is possible that the router may be to blame here ( im not dumpign all the blame on it, just offering a suggestion) you may wanna unplug everything from the router, wait a couple minutes and then try again. if that doesnt resolve the issue its possible you may need to hard reset your router and setup your network again.
I had a similar issue with connecting multiple ipads, PCs, and macs to a Netear router and some would connect for a while then lose access after a few minutes. i upgraded to an airport extreme and that cleared up all my connectivity issues.

Will Windows fail to work when leopard is released

My question is just that... will windows stop working properly when bootcamp expires. Ive noticed some odd program crashes lately, that didnt happen b4

You are still using Tiger then?
If so, then you need not worry. The Boot Camp Assistant will expire, probably at the end of this year, but your Windows installation should still work. The only thing is you won't be able to update your drivers unless you get Leopard.
By the way, Leopard has already been released on October 26.

Boot camp windows vista

does anyone know if windows vista will run off of boot camp?

I think thats not correct. HP is selling there notebook with intel core duo and the say are VISTA CAPABLE .
This is what they say
"What's a Windows Vista Capable PC?
The next generation Microsoft operating system—Microsoft Windows Vista—is coming soon. What will Windows Vista mean for you? It will offer new levels of ease, security and reliability, a new interface, and simple ways to organize and search for information on your PC.
We've worked with Microsoft to help ensure that the PC you buy today can run Windows Vista when it's available. All of our new notebook and desktop PCs will be able to run Windows Vista* when properly configured.
Windows Vista will be available in versions ranging from Windows Vista Home Basic for entry-level home users to Windows Vista Home Premium or Windows Vista Business, for those needing more robust features and functionality*.
*Not all Windows Vista features are available for use on all Windows Vista Capable PCs. All Windows Vista Capable PCs will run the core experiences of Windows Vista, such as innovations in organizing and finding information, security, and reliability. Some features available in premium editions of Windows Vista—like the new Windows Aero user interface—require advanced or additional hardware. Check www.windowsvista.com/getready for details. "

Windows Vista & Parallels / BootCamp

So...I'm hesitant to even ask because I've read a few posts on here and seen some scary things.
1.A) Will Windows Vista run through Parallels?
1.B) Will Windows Vista run through BootCamp
2) Does is actually run or is it just a joke?
3) I have a MacBook because I love Apple but I am forced to use Windows. My Windows based Desktop just dies...is it worth it to buy Vista and run it on my MacBook?

1.A) Yes
1.B) Yes, though drivers are not complete
2) Via BootCamp it should be fine, via Parallels that depends on how good their addin tools are
3) Are you unable to run XP for any reason?
