WINDOWS ON A MAC OS X HELP!
I have windows vista installed on my macbook and can switch back and forth from using the mac operating system and that of the vista operating system.
WHAT I WANT TO KNOW: Is it possible to use windows programs such as microsoft word and powerpoint while on the mac os x operating system? It gets really annoying switching over to use vista for that and I do not even see anywhere for me to type a paper or anything on the mac os x operating system.
ANSWERS PLEASE AND THANK YOU!
*"Is it possible to use windows programs such as microsoft word and powerpoint while on the mac os x operating system?"*
No. As The Mark already mentioned...you'll need the Mac versions of Office to accomplish what you want.

IPod is not recognised on either Windows nor on Mac. Please help!
I have an old iPod (3d generation I think) which worked ok up to the point when I got a new Macbook with a new iPod (60G, black). Since then the old iPod doesn't want to be recognized anywhere, on Windows or Mac. When I switch it on, all I see is the apple on the screen, nothing else works. I tried all the solutions that are on the support site, but none of them work. Could anyone please help me with this problem?

Hello everyone.
I have bought an (admittedly used) iPod classic 80GB on New Year's this year.For the better part of this month it was working beautifully.I was lucky that I got it.But just a week ago,it started bugging out.It would mount on iTunes and I would drag and drop music and videos on it but could only do it one at a time or it froze.This continued on for a couple days then finally yesterday it won't show on itunes at all.I tried resetting it,changing usb ports but it still wouldn't show except on plugged devices on ''Computer'' and on Finder (I have been trying to make it show on my macbook as well with no luck either)
I ever resorted to trying to remove completely and reinstall iTunes.still won't show and unfortunately for some reason whenever I try to reinstall it now on my windows 7 it says something about it ''missing a key'' and stopping the installation.
Can anyone offer me any solutions?I am growing pretty desperate here as the last time i managed to do a ''drag and drop'' to put my videos and music in it,any movie I dropped into the iPod,even though it shows on the device,it won't play at all -.-
PS.The ipod had been updated and formatted on my windows 7 if that helps any....
PS2.I had restored my iPod twice both on Windows 7 and on my MacBook when the freezing issue had happened when i plugged it in on my PC.It is currently updated and formatted on windows
PS3.iPod is on disk mode already and now still can't reinstall itunes 11
SOS Someone help me Offer me some solutions other than the ones I've already tried??I am still having the problem. I have noticed a pattern to the seemingly random freezes.
The iPod is stopping to Sync at almost predictable points during the sync. The first stoppage occurs around the 1.9GB part of the sync. This has not always been the same file but it is always around the same place.
When I sync in small chunks the freeze occurs at almost the same place every time. As soon as it freezes, iTunes is toast and the entire computer needs to be restarted.
Anyways, the freeze happens around every 2GB's of data transferred. It does not have to be in one chunk, it is almost like it is happening on the iPod. Like the iPod is kicking itself out of the sync at certain points along it's hard drive or something. Once it freezes and I restart the computer, I can transfer another 2 GB before it freezes again... then restart, repeat. Finally I was able to load up the 14.8 GB I had in my iTunes. Several hours later... not sure if I should take the iPod back or not. If it is the iPod and that fixes the problem great... but if it is my machine, I get another 3-4 hours syncing and restarting my computer. Wheeee! -
Adobe non-responsive/ineffective in exchanging CS (Windows) for CS (Mac). Please help?
I accidentally purchased a copy of CS (Windows) directly from Adobe when I needed CS (Mac). I immediately went through the process to make an exchange to the CS (Mac) and was approved. While I'm still able to download CS (Windows), I was never given a link to download CS (Mac). My attempt to resolve with Adobe is getting me nowhere. I really just want to be able to download the CS (Mac) that I exchanged for. Has anyone experienced such trouble with Adobe?

I have Windows Vista and my iTunes is v10.5, I have and iPhone 3GS and an iPhone 4. Everytime i try to update my phone to iOS5 it stops on Backing up and freezes. What can i do? Do i need t upgrade my phones on a Mac? Please help it would be greatly appreciated.
Your expectations are not based in reality.
Your G4 will not run iCloud. There will be no upgrade from Mobile Me to iCloud for you with that machine unless you do it manually, and only mail will work without further expenditure. -
I'm trying to install windows 8 on mac, but after partitioning and restarting, it stucks on blue logo and i waited 20 minutes but nothing happened, what can i do, please help.
I think there's some remmants left over from when Apple transferred stuff over. We can try a quick fix, but if that doesn't work, I think the only option is to clean install OSX and then install Windows.
open disk utility, confirm that you only have 1 partition (mac journaled)
restart and PRAM reset
open disk utility and repair permissions twice
restart boot camp assistant
Does it work?
If not, I would boot holding command+R, choose disk utility from the menu and completely erase your HD (formatting it as mac journaled again). Then, install OSX on this HD. Once OSX is installed, don't copy your files over from the backup yet. Instead, start boot camp assistant and see if you can get Windows installed. You can copy back your other files after we get Windows installed. -
i made a dual boot of windows 7 and mac os x lion in my macbook pro .i installed m icrosoft support software also. now, can i install windows updates? do i turn on the automatic updating of updates? does hot fix of microsoft i.e, " support.microsoft.com/kb/979491" helps in stop freezing in dual boot mechanism?
Windows has a software updater built into Windows and when you install the Boot Camp drivers then it will install an Apple software updater also. I believe Windows is set to automatically download and install your updates as does the Apple software Updater. They both will update the individual files it needs to periodically.
"Microsoft updates" and "Windows updates" are basically the same thing in Windows. Are you talking about the "Windows support software" when downloading from Boot Camp Assistant? Apple installs a software updater for it's Boot Camp drivers in Windows 7 so you can do it manually or automatically.
The "Hot Fix" your referring to is only for certain motherboards built from other Windows only computer manufacturers and does NOT pertain to any Apple computers.
If you have a problem with your computer then it's best to ask a specific question so we can help better. -

I'm suddenly seeing 2-point black boxes around any desktop icon I highlight, and around various elements in any window I'm working in. I have a G5 PPC iMac running 10.4.11. Neither restarting the machine nor running Mac Warrior has helped.
Thanks! I often inadvertently turn on the voiceover when I use the wrong keys to send an element to the back in Quark. Funny, I turned off the voiceover on my own, but never noticed that the black boxes had gone away until I saw your post.

Downloaded photoshop Windows and now need Mac format - please help
Hi wondering if someone can help me. I recently downloaded Photoshop for Windows and now have switched to a Mac. Is there anyway I can switch my product registration or download over from a windows to a Mac format? and is there a cost involved, or do I need to start again?
Thanks in anticipation!
CateThere are separate, dedicated license numbers for Macintosh and Windows.
You need to get on the phone to call Adobe Customer Service and request a "crossgrade", which involves a letter of destruction of the Windows version. There's a "nominal" charge. -

I intended to install windows on my macbook, but I removed Mac os X wrongly! Now I don't know how to install Mac again please help me.
I still don't know which version of OSX you have but assuming it's 10.7 or 10.8 .....
You need to press command-R (at the sound of the chime) to get into recovery, try that, if it does not work try command-option-R for Internet Recovery. -
Can anybody advise me on which key I need to press on start up to be given the option of switching from Windows 7 to Mac OS?
