• Running Mac OS older than what came with the Mac

  I just got the phone with Apple's Support and the representative told me that no Mac will perform a Mac OS older than the one that came with it. Can someone verify or refute this claim? I've been using Macs since I was introduced to a warm SE/30 in 1989, but I never remember to do this.

  So why would I want to? Well, I just bought an iMac 2014 end provided with Yosemite (10.10), to replace an early 2011 MacBook Pro that came with Snow Leopard (10.6). I am a photographer, and I have three dear old Sony sublimation photo printers that I can run only with a software package that has turned into a pumpkin after 10.6, so I have the updated MBP in place like a machine to dual-boot with a small partition of 10.6 for the software and a large partition of El Capitan (10.11) for most of my work. I want to put in place my new iMac in the same way (of course, the upgrade of its large partition to El Capitan); Otherwise, I will need to keep the MBP as a print server. (Or more likely, press an old iMac 2006 with a screen of bad back in service as a headless print server).

  If it is impossible to start in an old Mac OS, are there emulators that could achieve this goal (which might be better - avoiding a reboot)? Sony has been much better update their printer drivers for Windows and Mac, so I could probably run in Windows under an emulator like Parallels or Bootcamp, but I try to avoid dealing with a completely different environment. (Not to mention the fact that two of my Sonys are SCSI machines I drive with FireWire 400/SCSI converter; not to tell how Windows would treat that ;-))  Of course, this alone probably favour the approach of print server, because I do not know how things do you wear with a double conversion (starting with the new iMac USB3 or Thunderbolt and passing by FireWire SCSI. It's all too complicated...

  In a related issue, if I am successful in 10.6 market in some way on a new Mac, could I also run Rosetta? Snow Leopard is the last Mac OS supported under Rosetta PowerPC applications, and I have a still-good condition, fully licensed Adobe Creative Suite Premium (PowerPC) that I want to continue to run and make so much faster that this old iMac (or even my MBP) will be.

  TIA,

  Ken

  1. use Mac OS X Server 10.6 (phone the Apple Online Store) inside a product such as VirtualBox or Parallels Desktop.

  2. Yes.

• How is it Mac can install windows, but windows is unable to install Mac?

  I am user of PC and as a computer technician. I installed a lot of windows in Mac OS using bootcamp or parallel. However, there is not an option for the PC user to install Mac OS such as parallel or bootcamp. I'm so confused why PC (I mean all PC) can not install Mac OS, when the system Mac intel. I admit that some utilities on the Mac are very useful and easy to use. When you use bootcamp or parallel to install windows 7 or XP, you do not have the license key. Why Mac can do that, but not PC?

  Hello

  I suggest you post the question in the forums and check them off below if it helps:

• No sound on Windows 7 installed on an iMac (SIGMATEL STAC 92XX C - Major HD) Audio

  I have an imac with windows 7 installed. It's a clean install without bootcamp. There is no sound on the machine. The ID of the salesperson, I found that the unit is SIGMATEL STAC 92XX C-Major HD Audio. I tried to install 3 different drivers made for Dell with the same audio card. None of them work, saying the device is disconnected or found or not functional. Any solution to this?

  Same story with the built in isight camera. I would be grateful if you can help solve these problems of driver for cross-platform hardware/software compatibility.

  Thank you.

  If you are using Windows on a Mac (if Parallels or Bootcamp) you must use a USB audio device for microphone input. I have not tested for output on speakers but a full duplex audio USB pod will probably cure the problem as well.

• Version CS4 Mac

  Hello, I have an old version of photoshop CS4 and I would like to install it on a MAC as my old PC no longer works. Unlike my more recent versions of adobe software that are multi OS licensed (Lightroom, Prime Minister,.. elements) this version of 2009 was the VICTORY. Sound is it possible to convert it to a MAC license? I have no interest in buying a CC.

  Your only option is to run CS4 Windows virtual machine on your Mac using Parallels or Bootcamp or similar.

• I have CS5 [was: Creative Suite, Creative Suite 2] on MAC running MAC Mountain Lion. They will work on Yosemite or Elcapitan?

  I have CS5 [edit: Creative Suite, Creative Suite 2] on MAC running MAC Mountain Lion. They will work on Yosemite or Elcapitan?

  My iMac and Powerbook pro both run processors intel based. The operating system is 10.8.5 Mountain Lion.

  Do you mean you're under CS2 on OS X 10.8.5?

  It is not possible in a native Mac environment (unless you use the Windows of Parallels or Bootcamp on Mac version)...

  CS2 is a PowerPC application designed to run on Mac computers with PowerPC processors. When Apple has switched to processors Intel, Apple briefly provided a translator called "Rosetta" to run the applications on Macs PowerPC to Intel processors.

  Rosetta was not understood or supported since OS X 10.7 "Lion". If (including CS2) PowerPC applications does not work on OS X 10.7 go.

• Test in IE6 & amp; 7 on a Mac

  Hi all
  
  I developed a site in DW CS3 on a PowerMac, running OSX.4, but cannot test in IE in any later version IE5.
  
  Is there a way I can test in IE6 and IE7 without asking someone with a PC to do it for me?
  
  I have Virtual PC recommended to me as a possible workaround. Can someone tell me if this is the best option, and how it works?
  If not, is there another way I can do this without having to spend £180 on additional software?
  
  Thanks in advance!
  
  

  The version of Internet Explorer that came with Mac OS X is radically different, it is the counterpart to the window. In addition, Microsoft it rejected after version 5.2 after Apple came out with Safari (maybe 4) about 3 years.
  Parallels is designed to operate only on most recent Intel based Macs. It does not work on the old PowerPC (G3, G4 or G5) Mac. If you can find a copy of Microsoft Virtual PC for Mac then more power to you (because the Micro$ oft has pulled the plug on that when Apple passed to Intel chips).
  You 4Seul options are either buying a cheap with a version of Windows PC, use the window of a friend based PC, buy a new Intel based Mac with Parallels or Bootcamp (way Apple to allow the Intel Macs so that it starts with Windows instead of Mac OS X) or use an online service such as the above mentioned browsercam.com.

• Game run smoother on parallels and then when the Bootcamp?

  Hey all, new to Mac computers, well sort of, I've used before, but never actually possessed a.

  in any case, I have 128 GB of my SSHD partitioned for windows 10 on bootcamp. I'm also under Parallels 11. Why both? I want to be able to run games smoothly while than it started only on windows 10, but still be able to run not intensive, work related programs while that started on my Mac OS.

  So I played Spintires on bootcamp lately, it's great! I have to run in mode for some reason any to keep my mouse cursor, and I have to run on medium graphics settings (at the top, it's average slow and lazy). Not the end of the world good? I wasn't expecting to run games on high gfx.

  So I decided to try to play while Mac OS on parallels last night, it works perfectly on high graphics... just the controls are a little bugs in comparison only works on Windows.

  Type of should not the other way around?

  When you run a game in a window, then you lose various features such as back buffer blithering and tastes and generally it performs well worse then in full screen

  probably, that's your problem and maybe your problem is that you have not installed the correct drivers in bootcamp for the video card also runs some lowest common denominator rather than the radeon one generic driver

• What is the best strategy to migrate data from Windows to one Mac to another? I use Parallels Desktop to run Windows on my current Mac but want to use Bootcamp on my new.

  What is the best strategy to migrate data from Windows to one Mac to another? I use Parallels Desktop to run Windows on my current Mac but want to use Bootcamp on my new.

  If it is only the data (not apps) I use Dropbox. It turned out to be the best way to move things between the side Mac and the bootcamped Windows of my iMac side. I don't see why it would not work to move data from a virtual machine installation of Win to a BootCamp installation.

• Windows 7 on MAC bootcamp or parallels

  Hello

  Is this OK for me to buy an OEM of Windows 7 version to install on my Mac under Bootcamp (or parallel)? I looked to licensing and it seems it is the responsibility of the seller to sell OEM licenses with a preinstalled computer, but it affects me as a buyer? I'm warning so don't need any medium, etc.

  If I need to install later on another machine, I would just buy a new copy I know OEM is tied to a single machine. However, it would be cheaper to buy 2 x OEM a full detail.

  Thank you very much.

  As you can tell from an OEM version of the license terms is intended for resale and is also linked to the 1st PC it installed on and cannot be moved to another PC. But there is nothing preventing you to install and use for your Mac.

• Still no solution on my Bootcamp Win10 WiFi

  A few days ago, I changed to use bootcamp to the parallel for better performance on my AutoDesk Revit.

  Then, I downloaded the iso of Windows 10 from Microsoft and installed.

  Everything was fine except the Wifi, I tried several method as pilot of Talent, the support of Apple bootcamp download and type in the command... but none of them work.

  My current operating system is OS X EL Capitan (10.11.6) and the version of bootcamp, I think it's 6. And my bootcamp is different from those who are on the net, my bootcamp has no option to be chosen, just choose the iso and the partition and install.

  I wonder what's wrong with the system and I can't wait no time to solve this problem, thank you to you all!

• Boot Camp or Parallels 11

  Hello

  I just bought a new Mac Book Pro 13 "Retina Display. I intend to use Windows 10 on my mac book as well. For the most part, I'll use windows for commercial purposes like MS Office, email, photoshop, navigation and sometimes I could use it for the basic games.

  I'm stuck between Bootcamp and parallels. Parallels seems more user-friendly, attributes of parallels seems as easy as switching between two systems also things I want to do it on Windows could not push the memory and device allows to execute in good performance. However I still have concerns about the Parallels because of performance issues I've read so far. Since its running the two systems at the same time, it could reduce the performance of the laptop. I would get the best performance and the face with minimal breakdowns of the system that I use.

  Also, I read a lot of articles that says that boot camp is best in performance wise but I couldn't make the decision for my case and my features. I need suggestions from other users who are more experienced with Mac in order to make a decision between them.

  Plug from my laptop.

  Perhaps you are not aware of this, but OS X comes with e-mail software. MS Office is available for OS X, just like most of the products like Photoshop Adobe. OS X also comes with its own browser. My question is why you must use Windows to run programs that you run on OS X without using Windows?

  Although Boot Camp is slightly faster with Windows and Parallels, but unless the speed is essential Parallels is much easier to use provided that you have sufficient memory to run two operating systems simultaneously.

• My external drive thunderbolt causes 10 Windows to reboot into Bootcamp. Normal?  Difficulty?

  I have an imac of retina.  I use Parallels to begin Windows 10 without any problem at all.  Unfortunately, due to a problem of graphics card, one application will not work properly.  They advised me to install Windows 10 using Bootcamp, repeat this application and see if it works.  This resolved the conflict with this software.

  Unfortunately, Windows kept re-booting and ultimately would crash and must be put back in place (at least it seems).  I did this same process several times.

  Process of elimination, I found that if I unplugged the external drive thunderbolt, it resolved 100% of the problem.  No more problems with the re-start.

  I tried researching and I see people have problems with the Thunderbolt and Windows 10 screens, but really nothing else mentioned.

  My understanding is that this is not a conflict when you use Parallels because I am still running off the Apple ecosystem, but thanks to bootcamp with Windows only running, it gets confused by the thunderbolt connection.

  I know that this may be more a problem of winner - snoozing, but is there any work around this other disconnect me the Thunderbolt disc whenever I want to use the version of Bootcamp for Windows 10?

  Thank you.
