Xp in Mac but can Mac run on PC?

I'm sure we all know about the discovery but can a Mac OS run on a "PC"? I hope so! Then I can enjoy my "PC" a lot better.

Well, you are right about reputation matters. Beeing a big Mac fan myself, I don't want to see that best OS in the world which is developed for best computers in the world lose all it's appeal and attraction just because it would be avaliable for PC users.
But I couldn't get away from several thoughts after watching Steeve's conference, where he declared transition from Power PC to Intel.
After exposing PowerMac with Pentium 4 CPU, I thought that Mac OS for x86 platforms, which is used in those developer boxes, probably would be illegaly drained. Exacly, after some time it was avaliable in peer-to-peer networks. Then came all those rumors, later was that video. And I suddenly start to think, that this leakage was directed by Apple. Remeber, Steeve told, that Mac OS -- is the biggest value of Apple, nor the hardware. Of cource, hard to imagine such an action, especialy ethical side of it, but still it could be a planned move in order to start strike Windows positions.
Thus, marketing is a very unethical thing. Noone knows, what we could await from Apple in the near future, but "Intel tranistion"-"MacOS X on PC"-"BootCamp" are links of one chain of events, accidentaly or not. And Apple shares price and market share are rising up. I guess, there are some global goals for Apple and they will leave no stone unturned to achieve those goals. Including dreadful "Mac OS X on PC" combination.
Of cource, these are only my thoughts. I hope that we behold only illegal hack action and Mac OS would be never avaliable on PC's.

  • HT5022 I am using Mac OS version 10.9.2 how can I configure a 802.11g AirPort Express? I have AirPort Utility 5.6 but can't run it

    Thank you for any suggestions

    My frustration stems from the fact that the devices haven't stopped working.
    Neither have any of my Apple devices, the oldest of which dates back to 1985, and some of which remain in daily use with Macs running Mavericks. They have plenty of moving parts, too.
    I gather you would be thrilled if your Express were to have simply have stopped working some time ago. If you are waiting for it to die, you may have a very, very long wait.
    They are quite capable of continuing to fill their function.
    So do OS X Panther, Tiger, Leopard, Snow Leopard, Lion, and Mountain Lion. All those operating systems are quite capable of administering your original AirPort Express. Use one of them, as I explained in my original reply to this Discussion.
    Even if you were to consider your old Express fully depreciated, which it is not, it cost you all of about 25¢ a week to enjoy the benefits of using it. If you consider such an expense unwarranted, you ought to reevaluate what you consider an essential expense, and what does not.

  • Just purchased iphone 4 but can't run it with my macbook which is running OSX 10.4.11.  How do I update to 10.5?

    Hi, I just upgraded to an iphone 4 but my macbook won't recognise it as its running OSX 10.4.11.  How can I update to 10.5 or is there another way around this problem?  I've searched for 10.5 update but can't find it online.

    You have to purchase Leopard v10.5 then update to v10.5.8.

  • Migrate an application from x86 to x64. Compiling succeed, but can not run. Always start with error 0xc0000142.

    platform: windows server 2008 r2; ide: visual studio 2005 (installed the x64 development kit)
    Hi, everyone.
    I want to migrate my application to x64 platform from x86/win32 platform. I added x64 platform in visual c++ 2005 option, and compiled successfully. But the application can not start. When start it always pop up an alert dialog saying "The application
    was unable to start correctly (0xc0000142). Click OK to close the application."  Meanwhile, it's worked well when I use win32 option to compile.
    Someone says online, the dependency walker can detect some root cause. I used it, and found that IEFRAME.dll may be had some problem because when I double click it, pop up a dialogue saying "Errors were detected when processing "c:\windows\system32\IEFRAME.DLL".
    See the log window for details.". But I can not resolve this issue.
    Please help me.

    If I had to try to solve this:
    I'd start by verifying that I can compile, and run a skeleton x64 Windows app.  Just create one from scratch using the Windows Application project template, add the x64 platform, build it and run.  Hopefully all goes well.
    If that works, then I'd try trimming down your app to just its essentials.  If you're not using revision control software, back up your projects now, because once you find the problem by hacking and slashing, you'll want to revert so you can make a
    clean fix.
    The first thing to do here is just put a return 0; in the beginning of WinMain to see if it's code at runtime that's causing the problem or something about the linking and dependent library loading.
    I'm guessing that, even with return 0, you will still have a problem, which would suggest that you are perhaps still linking against a 32-bit version of a library or something like that.  Start removing dependencies or references or libraries until
    you can build and run your stripped-down application.  Eventually you'll find the one reference/library that causes it to fail to load.
    You can also check the debug window to see if some modules loaded correctly and others not.
    You can also run
    Process Monitor (sysinternals) to see which dll it was accessing when it failed to load.
    Make sure you revert any changes you made while hacking and slashing, then make your platform fixes, and have another go.
    I suspect that eventually you'll find that you've added a link library that is a 32-bit .lib or a component that references a 32-bit library.  You'll have to make sure you specify the x64 .libs for whatever libraries you are using.  Sometimes this
    means that you have to change you additional linker directories to point to the x64 libs instead of the x86/win32 libs.  Be very careful about your platform when specifying linker libraries, directories, etc.
    It could also be that the x64 version of a dll has been copied to your output folder rather than the x86 version, assuming they have the same name.  You'll have to sort out your SDKs and get the right .libs and .dlls.
    Make sure that your settings and property pages are set correctly for Release and Debug, and for x86 and x64.

  • Able to deploy but can not run

    Hi,
    I have created Enterprise project using netbeans for testing purpose.
    I have added index.jsp in web module.
    then i added 1 of ejb module.
    I have not modified any file of both.
    then i build the project, it created .ear file
    I use this ear to deploy on Application PE9 it has no error.
    When I try to run the project from netbeans by right click the project
    It can not be run with error
    C:\TEST\nbproject\build-impl.xml:179: Deployment error:
    I click to this error link
    It bring me to this line of build-impl.xml

    <nbdeploy debugmode="false" forceRedeploy="${forceRedeploy}" clientUrlPart="${client.urlPart}" clientModuleUri="${client.module.uri}"/>
    </target>
    What's wrong?
    Thanks in advance

    we'd probably need some more information to help with this.  if you could provide a more verbose description of your problem, the ipconfig /all of the devices using the router if they're having problems, and the router's ip address & subnet settings.  in your subject line you say you CAN browse, but can't access 192.168.1.1 which leaves me a little confused.

  • Latest version downloaded but can't run it

    I've downloaded the latest version several times-each time it alerts me that the new version is available. It goes to my download mgr as usual and after it finishes, it disappears without a chance to run the new version.
    If I'm already fully upgraded then why does it keep asking me if I want to upgrade? OR if I'm not, what is the issue I'm dealing with?

    Yeowsers! That is a bit drastic.
    Sorry I can't give you a link, but try to download the file yourself.
    That is: look for the version you want on this site and download it yourself.
    Then run it and see what happens.
    Oh, be careful. I don't want you to go through what I just went through with my updates from 16 to 17.
    Good luck all the same.

  • I downloaded FireFox, but can not Run, "Server not found " displayed

    I downloaded Firefox in Safe Mode (can not download in normal mode, it blocked by IE), when I run it , it displays, "Firefox can not find the server at www.mozilla.com"
    I wanted temporarily tun off the firewall to let Firefox in. I
    contacted my Anti-virus company Tech support, they did not give me an answer. Any solution?
    Greatly appreciate your help!
    C.Y.

    Thanks for the reply.
    We are still not able to figure out the reason, but the problem seems to orignate in the way swing handles repaint() events in JDK version 1.3. (Paint coalescing, see link below...)
    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/guide/awt/enhancements.html#coalescing
    Our application has multiple swing controls. Each control requests data from the model in its paint event. If model does not have the data it in turn opens a http socket connection to the server and gets the data.
    Our guess is that the calls which were previously sequential, are going simultaneously after coalescing was introduced in swing. But it does not explain why it works if client is not on server machine.
    Also, the application does not fail in a consistent manner. In most cases data does not come at all, but sometimes some controls do get the data. (If server and client are running on different machines, controls always get the data.)
    We have ruled out the possibility that the weblogic server is modifying the classpath or any environment variable at startup and resetting them at shutdown.
    We started server on two machines, machine1 and machine2 and opened a client in machine1 which accessed server running on machine2. Everything ran perfectly.
    Any help will be appreciated. We are all ready to handover to QA except for this inexplicible bug :(

    Anyone have advice on how to install the recent Itunes update on a 64 bit Windows 7 PC?  I've downloaded the update, uninstalled the prior version, but no luck.  Thanks.

    I'm guessing - if you've uninstalled the previous version, then surely there's nothing left to "update", is there?
    Can you undo the "uninstallation" procedure? If not, you will have to download iTunes again and install it as a new installation.

    export CFLAGS="-march=pentium4 -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -mmmx -msse -msse2 -mfpmath=sse -fprefetch-loop-arrays -ffast-math"
    export CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS} -fvisibility-inlines-hidden"
    Thank you very much.

    For some times, I had this CTAGS in my /etc/makepkg.conf:
    export CFLAGS="-march=pentium4 -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -mmmx -msse -msse2 -mfpmath=sse -fprefetch-loop-arrays"
    I then added "-ffast-math" yesterday.
    Anything done after compiling with both tags didn't work (even running as root).
    I switched back to the default
    export CFLAGS="-march=i686 -O2 -pipe -Wl,-O1"
    export CXXFLAGS="-march=i686 -O2 -pipe -Wl,-O1"
    And now my own compiled firefox works... So It seems that this is a cflag error...
    Anyone know witch flag could break it?
