You can run Win XP in OSX via Parallels, but how do you run OSX in XP?

Hey, I have a week old MBP that I've boot camped to run a stripped down version of XP for gaming. I got Parallels so that I could, if I wanted, game while keeping OSX native, but with no DX9 support (and awful DX compatibility in general) it's totally useless to me.
SO, I thought, why not try to virtualize OSX within XP. I'd want to keep the memory/processor dedications as light as possible, as I'd just be using the virtualized OSX to access iTunes and keep various torrents seeding.
Any progs you know of?
Alternately, is there an easy way to get access to the iTunes collection on the OSX partition from within XP?
Thanks for your help in advance

Hi 12orphans;
There is an iTunes for XP. As to whether or not it can access the iTunes library on a Mac I don't know. I try to have as little to do with anything Windozes as I can.

    I have successfully sync'd my macbook and new ipad via itunes, but how do I sync the calendar, please ? I do not have icloud yet.

    You can select the calendar to sync in the Info Tab in the iTunes window on the right, when your iPad is connected to the Mac , while iTunes is running and after you select the iPad on the left side under the devices heading.

  • Installing Win version on Mac via Parallels

    I'm currently running Photoshop CS2 and the trial version of Illustrator CS4 on my Mac. I'm going to be purchasing Creative Suite for Windows and installing/running this via Parallel, which allows you to run a Windows OS and it's programs on a Mac.
    My question is...will I have any problems in installing or running CS4 for Win seeing as how I have other Mac versions of the same programs on the same hard drive? I plan on uninstalling these to make room for the new ones, but of course Adobe leaves behind difficult to locate files.
    Any help or insight is much appreciated. Thanks!

    CS 4 will install under Parallels with no issue. Just make sure you have
    a large disk image set aside.

  • If you right-click an image you can select to "Block Images" from the site, but how do you reverse this choice?

    If you right-click an image on a web page you can select to
    "Block Images from [the url of the site]".
    This works well, particularly to make the page printer-friendly, but how do you reverse this choice to see the images again?

    You can see all permissions for the current page in Tools > Page Info > Permissions
    If it is from a different domain then use this:
    *A way to see which images are blocked is to click the favicon (<i>Site Identification</i> icon) on the left side of the location bar.
    *A click on the "More Information" button will open the Security tab of the "Page Info" window (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
    *Open the <i>Media</i> tab of the "Page Info" window.
    *Select the first image and scroll down though the list with the Down arrow key.
    *If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

  • Can print to shared Canon iP4300 via Bonjour - but not with Canon driver

    I've searched the forums and therefore know roughly what the problem is, but still need some concrete info please...
    Have finally managed to share my Canon iP4300 connected to iMac (10.5.2) via USB and print to it from XP, using Bonjour for Windows. However... when I run the printer assisntent it finds the printer but only offers me the choice of a generic driver. The driver turns out to be labelled "HP Color LaserJet 4550 PS". A postscript driver?!? Well, it works, but I'd really prefer the proper Canon driver (which is already installed - I previously had the printer connected to the PC).
    Yet, when I select this driver retrospectively (from the printer-share properties dialogue), I cant print. This, if I understand correctly is because the Canon driver doesn't support Bonjour?
    So is there anything I can do? Eg. I've read about the Gimp drivers, but they're only for OSX right?
    Maybe this generic "HP" driver will be adequate (haven't printed anything properly yet) but would like to know if anybody has suggestions other than contacting Canon (which I will do anyway).
    Cheers

    I Have the same Problem as you,
    I Have the Canon MP180, and i have the driver on my windows XP Laptop
    But when i try to connect to it, using Bonjour (as the printer is connected to the mac) it uses a HP Color LaserJet 4550 PS driver even though its Canon
    Does anyone know how to use the proper driver.
    It works ok using the HP Driver, but the quality of the printouts from the windows XP laptop seem rubbish
    Many Thanks
    Alex
    P.S if you got this working, can you send me a message back.

  • Just got the LG G2 and it will not allow me to upload pictures to FB. I can send and receive picture messages via texting but that is it. I've tried a hard reset twice, I've uninstalled FB and reinstalled it, and I've tried uploading it 3 different ways--

    I've tried a hard reset twice, I've uninstalled FB and reinstalled it, and I've tried uploading it 3 different ways--through my photo editor app, through the gallery, and through the FB app. Nothing works. Any suggestions? My Wi-Fi connection is great....

    Really sounds like you are doing it right, but the FB app is notorious for being buggy after each update, which is fairly frequent. Try to upload via the FB webpage in Chrome on the phone. You can try the mobile or desktop verion of the page by tapping menu settings in the browser. Its a little different but it'll let you know if its the app or the phone.

  • Can't SaveAs to My Favorites via IIS, but can via Tomcat

    We've got BOE XI 3.1 installed on Windows Server 2003 SP2, with both IIS and Tomcat instances.
    When a non-Admin user uses InfoView via IIS to view a report on a public folder that they don't have rights to save to, they can't save the report to their My Favorites folder. The same user can view and then save the same report to a public folder that they do have rights to save to, can copy and paste the same report to the My Favorites folder, and can view and then save the same report from the same folder to My Favorites using InfoView via Tomcat. The default Administrator can save to My Favorites on either web server.
    One other curious detail is that when the user can't save to My Favorites, in the saveas dialog they don't see the default ~Webintelligence folder or any other sub-folders under My Favorites even tho they see them in the Documents List view.
    Here's the pop-up error:
    Save   <-- pop-up window title
    Internal Error: the value of parameter folderId is invalid. (Error: INF )
    Does anyone have any ideas about the cause and resolution?
    Thanks,
    Bill Fuchs

    Eugene,
    I opened a case with BO and the support rep believes it is a bug in the .NET version of InfoView. He has opened a ticket with the technical team who are still investigating and haven't gotten back to me yet. If you open another case it might help to get the issue resolved sooner
    For your reference, my case is 422057 / 2009 and the technical escalation id is 5000098788.
    Regards,
    Bill

  • I use a web site called ACRIS- up until yesterday I could access all parts of the site, including calling up images of deeds. Now I can no longer get the images via firefox, but can them via windows explorer. Why? How do I fix this?

    I use a web site called ACRIS- it allows me to access NYC Finance dept records- specifically images of deeds. Up until yesterday I had no problem. Then without any apparent reason I could access all parts of the site, but could not access the deed images. First I thought it was a problem on their end, which sometimes happens, but after waiting 24 hours I was still having the problem. Then I tried windows explorer and it worked without any problem. How do I fix this?

    Hi jeffbeal,
    First question I would ask is what has changed recently? Did you add any new extensions or add-ons?
    I'd try starting Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If you don't have the issue while all of your add-ons, extensions, and themes are disabled, you can try adding them back in one by one until you find the culprit. You should look at the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting-extensions-themes Extensions and Themes troubleshooting guide ] and the [[Troubleshooting plugins]] article as well.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • I can still access my .mac email via Mail but not in iCloud

    I set up a new iCloud email address and tried to add my old .mac address (via Manage your Apple ID) and get a message saying that "email address is already verified for another Apple ID".
    I can still send and receive emails on my older .mac account via Mail, my iPad and iPhone. I just want to be able to read my .mac email in a browser if I were to lose the other devices.

    Try simply dismissing the popup by hitting cancel and then Get Mail from the account in question.

  • I can home share to Apple TV via ethernet but not wireless.  Please help!!

    This has been driving me mad for a week now. I have an acer Laptop using windows vista. When I connect the Ethernet cable to my rout and laptop, home sharing works fine. But as soon as I disconnect and go wireless, Apple TV cannot find my library. My partner has a HP laptop that operates on windows xp. That works fine. can anyone help and give me a step by step guide with what to do? I've checked every apple forum on the matter and nothing seems to work. I figure it's got something to do with my wireless Internet settings. It can't be the router if my partners library shares ok, right?? I've uninstalled macafee and even turned my windows firewall off. But surely these weren't problems in the first place if Ethernet connection works?!? Am not very tech savvy, so any simple things to check would be SO appreciated.

    Homesharing should work over ethernet too, ask your network provider about homesharing, it may be that the university doesn't allow it.

  • How do I know if I can run a game?

    Hi, I know a Mac isn't ideal for gaming. I dont want answers back saying im an idiot for buying a mac for gaming, because that isnt the case. I just want to know what I am compatible of running though. I know there is the Can I Run it site, but I am not sure if that is always reliable.  ALSO I WILL BE RUNNING WINDOWS 8 VIA BOOTCAMP.
    So, by looking at my cpu and gpu, and looking at the requirements for a game, how do i know if i can run it? I would appreciate it if you can tell me if this example will work, but how does the average person know if it will work, by comparing the specs?
    My specs:
    MacBook Pro (Mid-2012)
    RAM: 8GB
    CPU:2.3GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processor (Turbo Boost up to 3.3GHz) with 6MB L3 cache
    GPU:Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB & NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 512 MB
    Here is the game:
    Batman Arkham Origins (recommended settings)
    RAM: 4GB
    CPU: Core i5-750 Quad 2.66GHz
    GPU:GeForce GTX 560
    Also, if I meet the minimum requirements for the gpu, but far exceed with the cpu and ram, what does that mean?
    And... If one of my graphics cards is 1024MB, does that mean I can run games that require that much memory on the gpu? Even though i know the geforce I have is better.
    I am just very confused, someone please clarify, I would really appreciate it.

  • Sending out a signal via Parallel port in interrupt mode?

    I am trying to send out a 5KHz TTL signal via parallel port. the CPU should be disturbed at most time. so we can't use loop structure. I guess I have to use interrupt mode to do this job.
    In other languages, we might be able to programm 8253, which is a timer and counter chip on mother board. can we generate a 5KHz siganl via parallel port without disturbing CPU?
    or can we call another labview program in our main labview program.by doing so, two programs are running at the same time, we may be able to solve my problem
    Thanks

    Hi Sean-
    This functionality is theoretically possible, but this might not be the best option if you are concerned about latency in operation. A few references for using the parallel port in LabVIEW are linked in this thread.
    If you are concerned about precise timing and operating system latency issues, you may want to consider a hardware-timed PCI counter/timer board instead. This utility is a good starting point for selecting such a card.

    Hello:
    It has options to "scan to..."  If I scan using Image Capture, I scan it to the desktop (jpeg).  If you want to get it into iPhoto, open iPhoto and import the picture.

  • Can you run a USB mini projector from a Macbook via Parallels

    I recently purchased one of those cheap Tiawanese mini projectors on ebay (Model MUSB100). It features a mini b plug on one end of its cable and two USB plugs on the other. It's designed for PC use and works fine running XP on a Windows PC with the addition of some very cheap and nasty driver software that comes with it called UVTool.
    What I was hoping to do was run it via Parallels and XP on my Macbook. I installed the software on Parallels and I could get a picture fine but no sound. I have had a little trouble with USB devices plugged into Parallels before, so I thought I'd download the latest version of Parallels hoping to correct the audio bug. Not a good idea. The cheap and nasty driver software causes Parallels to crash and freeze every time and I have to shut down Parallels and restart. So now that driver software is useless.
    I've also tried plugging the two USB leads straight into my Powerbook, but without some sort of Mac driver that can send video out via the USB ports, it won't work.
    So here are my options.
    Find some other video driver software for XP that will run safely in Parallels and send video out via the USB ports. Or,
    Use my mini display port to VGA adapter and somehow find a piece of hardware that will connect the two USB cables from the projector into the VGA adapter on my Macbook. The Projection Resolution is 640 x 480 pixels (VGA).
    Any suggestions? Or even another way of doing it?

    Your best bet is probably to install XP via Boot Camp and then install the driver. Since that gives Windows complete control of the computer, the driver would probably work fine.
