Windows 8 on a Mac - 32-bit or 64-bit
I have 2 Macs and I want to install Win 8 on both, I've had Parallels in a computer and Boot Camp on the second.
I am about to purchase 2 licenses to win 8 and I am aware that I have to buy the System Builder version, but I don't know if I have to buy 32 or 64 bit

Notes
- '4' or '5' in the tables indicates the version of Boot Camp that is supported on your Mac. The Boot Camp version determines which version of Windows works with your Mac.
- "DVD" indicates that the drivers are installed from the DVD that came with your computer to install Mac OS X.

I received two notifications that the video player for Firefox should be updated. When I try to install the update, I get the message that it cannot do so because it is impossible to run Windows applications on a Mac. An update is planned for Macs? Also, if an update is only for Windows, is there a way I can indicate that I don't need, so I continue to receive messages?
You have malicious software! (Yes, Macs can get malware).
Please remove this extension and see if that helps: MediaPlayer 3.3.2
You can do this on the page modules. Either:
- CMD + SHIFT + a
- "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then find this suspicious extension on the right side and remove (or, in case of doubt, disable).
Often, a link will appear above at least an extension disabled/removed to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.

Uncloseable pop-up windows in firefox for mac
Hello
Some Web sites will open the pop-up windows, even if I have a pop-up blocker enabled.
The problem with these pop-up windows, it is that they have the option close as for other windows of Firefox for Mac.
This results in the ToolTip remains open and the only way I can get rid of it is to stop completely from Firefox.
Any help will be appreciated.
Hello
Maybe you could try the keyboard shortcut command + W (close the current tab) or command + SHIFT + W (close the current window) when the pop-up window appears in the foreground.

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 Remote Desktop for Mac 2.01 - buttons Invisible Radio
I have a MacBook Pro (Intel Core i5 2.53 Ghz to) that I use to connect to a desktop computer Dell Windows XP Professional SP3 Windows Remote Desktop for Mac 2.01. Connecting to XP from my Mac desktop, everything seems to work properly. Looking more closely however, radio buttons do not appear on the applications that use them. This does not work with just a single application, but in all areas with applications and web browsers in the side of XP displaying my Mac desktop. This problem can also be reproduced with laptops and desktop computers running XP SP3.
