Parallels on the MacBook

[erakos]

i want to know something.. i have a macbookpro... so i need only parallels? or something else?

[Clock03]

What is the song used in the video?

Thanks

[ClubbyClubman]

@Clock03 Ben Webster - Blue Skies. It says it next to the description.

[PofajafSeqapohyt]

Take your chance and win macbook air. Check out macbook7 . c0m!

[NormBarStool]

could you drag and drop files from the xp desktop to the mac os or vice versa?

[etantao]

cool sure, but whats the use or need of it?

[Porojukaha]

@etantao 1 word. Zune. the guiltless alternative to pirating music

[iamseeingyou]

Is Parallels irresponsible? Are they selling to illegitimate companies? A store apparently sold me the same original product that they had sold to someone else.

I only realized almost 2 years after because there is an apparent defect & Parallels doesn't give support unless you register. When I tried to register, the other person already had.

Taking photos of the original envelope, volunteering info & hours of foreign calls to wrong #s ... & STILL CAN'T GET REGISTERED / SUPPORT!

[Porojukaha]

@iamseeingyou I doubt that this happened because of hte store. this is probably because someone pirated parallels and used a keygen cracker to generate a product key to legitimize their copy. not because parallels made any mistake. It just so happened to be the same as yours. thats why you should register same day you buy. Think about it. why would they jeopardize their company by reissuing a product key when they generate those keys at no cost to themselves?

[laptoplover2]

How much is parallels? If you have to actually install the windows on a partition, does it still take like 45 minutes just liek on a PC?

[seansfilms]

parallels is $79.99 but it can be free on torrents and yes it will take the same amount of time to install

[bml4356]

yes

[lockernome1995]

@laptoplover2 first to answer ur question

dont waste ur money

get a key from someone on youtube

and if u use an iso file windows will install faster

[Porojukaha]

@lockernome1995 selling your dignity and self respect for a peasely 50 bucks? I dont think so

[dodgydogman]

"buy a mac so you can pretend its a pc!"

You never see mac simulators on pcs... Im sure there is a good reason for that.

[thisusersuck]

yes you can get mac simulators on a pc

[rjkahlon]

True that

[D0ug16]

You seldom see it because Mac OS was designed to work on Mac Hardware, getting it work on AMD and some Intel based PC's is difficult. iAtakos is an example of people desperately trying to get OS X on a PC.

Conversely, XP was designed to run on practically anything (poorly), thus it can be run on a Macbook with the adequate drivers installed.

[deadleg22]

PC's cant run mac but mac can run a PC aswell as OSX of course.

[deadleg22]

what do you call windows 7 then?

[amuhinamori269]

did u hav to buy i

[PiMPeTTExx10]

i am getting a macbook this summer, so excited! :)

[nosense82]

yeah i tried both and VMware fusion and parallels and i liked VMware better

[Anonx78345]

why? just curious

[nosense82]

both worked fine...i just preferred vm's layout. more convenient to me and easier to use

[lgch]

LOL, APRIL 1... :D

[kvburke3]

doe sthis work for a powerpc

[dinasaur2]

Can you run applications from a Mac onto windows. For example I have installed photoshop CS3 on my Mac, can I open this in Windows and use it there too ?

[jmasterrules102]

No, actually you can't; I wish I could though- you see the applications files are different on the mac then on the windows. Unless you have the windows version of photoshop you cannot do this.

Hope I helped

Jmasterrules102

[silverstonewebcam]

vista ftw

[consol6]

seriously parallel is the shitest thing ever, never even opens for me any more, unbelievably shit, i never write these kind of comment but i had to warn u DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!!!!!!!!!

[35g700]

whats so special about that? windows on a mac, if you. you can do the same with virtual PC in windows and run OS X in windows.

[demon824]

actually you cant run OSX in windows. Because apple is money hungry and doesn't sell OEM OS software. If you want OSX you HAVE to buy a mac. Another reason Windows>Mac. BUT if you want the safety of MAC get Linux b/c linux>windows>mac

[kill4kam]

actually it is possible to run mac os x on a pc. im running mac osx on my dell inspiron 640m

[whoastepback]

Are you seriously?

[kill4kam]

yup, its going pretty good. but the inspiron 640m is pretty out of date, so im saving up for a real mac :D.

But it works great if you just want to try out a mac and stuff.

its like a temporary mac.

[whoastepback]

Whoaaaaaa! That's so cool!! xD

[ladofalaska]

Actually you can

[demon824]

yes, but how much of a pain in the ass is it to get it installed?Can you just head to your local wal-mart and buy it? I think not.

[hambroman]

I think the difference is parallels is not a virtual machine, if I'm not mistaken it runs the second os natively on the processor - could be wrong though.

[faw24]

how the fuck did u do that dude ??

Please tell .. i have been trying to do it since i bought Mac ..

respond plzzzzzz

[amorgenstern29]

lmao how the hell do u do that

[DavinTerrizzi]

I didn't know music could have a sexual orientation.

[tommyk77]

Well, 'What What in the Butt' is pretty gay

[RaFBens0n]

FUCKIN GOOOOOD, TODAY I INSTALL IT ;o

[buhrrito]

solike.... you need the actual XP disk for like windows on mac to work?

[Eggyrocks1]

You need an XP/Vista or any OS installation disc for it to work.

[sebrat13wildcat]

i tried parallels, but it ran everything down so slow i could barely use it

anyone know why it'd be doing that on mine but running so well here?

[seizuremonkey500]

did you upgrade your memory? what's ur processor speed? generally if you have minimum requirements for a macbook. it'd run significantly slower. also on parallels have you checked ur memory placement? sometimes, even if you have enough ram if only have 128 mb going to windows, yeah, it'd be going really slow.

[forsale606]

ew who wat windows on a mac?!

[5ystemError]

Windows is an Operating System, not a deadly disease. Grow up.

[kyXst]

Windows is the worst operating system the world has ever known.

[forsale606]

yeah but if u have mac which by the way is a much better operating system why the hell would u want shity windows on it

[JAManimations]

to play Counter Strike while using GarageBand

xDD yea, why would a person want that?

[fishcomputer33]

Why not?

[Danishkid44]

lol yea just that

[jericho523]

when i put a windows disk in dont work just spit it out

[nypkny]

anyone interested in buying parallels desktop for cheap msg me

[Blitzmanguy]

is that Boot Camp or just another software?

[MZJI99LY2U]

that was faster than I expected Parallels to run and easy too! thanks for the vid.

[unoplaya4life]

hey u know how to play games on parreles io cant figure it out

[wAxYaX]

how do you get it to run XP while mac OS is up??

[gangstawanksta022]

parallels application

thats what make macs so great

[ibrahim919]

WOW

[groovycake]

Parallels - Das ist gut scheisse.

[gangstawanksta022]

and whats the difference between bootcamp and parallels?

[raidersrock8181]

on boot camp, you have to reboot your computer to switch operating systems but with parallels, you dont have to reboot

[gangstawanksta022]

can u switch 2 windows to use microsoft office, then switch back to leopard for whatever else?

[s0041464]

Great vid, thanks

[xxmina6462xx]

:o  .

[xxxleaoxxx]

Wednesdey I will receive my first MacBook from the store. Intel CoreDuo 2.20Mhz, 2Gb RAM, 120 Gb HDD White one. yeah!

[jozeto]

when you use xp, can you have viruses on your mac?? because of windows ?

[ismalinho]

NO. You can,t.

[jozeto]

thanks man;)

[Tom00West]

i think u can get normal pc viruses that effect xp, but they will have no effect when u are using OS X

[jozeto]

i think so too...

[PSTK215]

i got a question? you know how some software only work on pc. since you ran parelle does that mean you can download install it?

[lifematch]

well yeah. he just proved it by using photoshop.

[GwEnIeHaN]

I would HATE to have a macbook.. its so small.. and not to mention slow.. Im happy with my imac..

[LesPaulCryBaby]

An iMac has laptop hardware in it so what's the difference?

If you'd spend the same amount on a laptop you would have the same specs.

It's just what you prefer, small screen > compact or big screen > less compact

[munkisbeprotis]

i've got macbook 1.83ghz with 2gb of memory runing leopard but it works way slower than yours, is it because of operating system ?

[undaskkore]

yours is at 1.83ghz where theirs is at 2.0ghz.

its a pretty significant difference

[XxDeaQueenxX]

There are somethings stopping me from buyin this thing...

1: Bad Speakers

2: Bad Graphics Card.

I hate the Pro by the way, it looks like some chepo pc...

[SugarKidd]

actually the speakers arnet to bad and the graphics card is great

and you can get the card upgraded

[mongoosecage]

Could somebody explain why did this program crash in an apple store while I was using it? Literally the Mac crashed. Kernel Panic. The black screen of death.

[Hmph001]

this might be a stupid question but, does parallels come with mac book and is windows installd? :S

[zzzackzzz]

no, you have to buy both products seperatedly..

[Hmph001]

oh alright thank u for replying my question

[DjTomitto93]

Anchio lo ammetto ma non propio questo quello nero :)

[mattiuz7]

WOW...sono impresionato da questo macbook!!devo averlo a tutti i costi!!!

[revowithin]

that music is killing my ear

[Keyfaze]

This music has taste it's awsome and happy! I bet you would like Party LIke a rock star.

[revowithin]

yup. i listen to rock music. i'm a drummer, guitarist and bassist. we r in diff genre . thats all.

[Keyfaze]

Ok Sorry No Offense! =)

[itsdeeds7]

i want one now!

[tochimilfhunter]

great video man

[Rjnicko]

i bet vista runs great inside OS X

[Jawz770]

It does. I have it!

[Rjnicko]

cool, although vista is under featured and has too many graphics effects what use wasted graphics and ram power

[Jawz770]

yeh. i know. I deleted it, cause it took up to much space and I wasn't using it. So now I don't have any Windows OS on my MacBook!

[Rjnicko]

good OS X all the way

[DavidDude96]

core duo or core 2 duo?

[Dot1Hacker]

are you like frence?

[samater16]

when u get parallels for the first time does it come with ms office pre-installed?

[jaguarf11]

I'm tired of reading comments by people asking "Does parallels come with this or that" Go to their website, you will find that it is just the virtual machine software you are buying - its $79 do you really think it comes with MS Office or Vista at that price? Please...

[duncanyoyo1]

Man, now I want to get a MacBook Pro and parallels.

[gangster441]

too good man... can u plz tell me the specification of this macbook....

[wacko506]

Read The Desription...

[DavidDude96]

2.16 ghz at the most

[howitgarn]

Would I need to upgrade my ram? Is there anyway of downloading this software?

[howitgarn]

Hey, I am wondering if my macbook - 2ghz intel core 2 duo, 1gb 667MHz ddr2 sdram would run this fast if I was swapping OS? Thanks.

[Lysix]

Yes. I've seen it run just as smoothly on lower spec macbooks. :)

[rajeshdevadas]

Come on move to vista today.

[noxxrun]

heh, vista runs too much eyecandy and background apps -.-. it hogs your ram hella bad. thats why nearly every PC vendor is still offering XP with their computers, that along with many other reasons.

[XxCrimsonstarxX]

OMG its dam fast loveee it cant wait to get one this week but i still dont know to get a macbook or imac 24inch x]

[matl]

wow. it runs so fast! it takes so fast for you to open all those apps! you sure its only 2GB RAM? Your HD must not be very full then I'm guessing

[Anovan007]

lol, Windows ist auf Deutsch! Geil.

[elkillerx]

Windows will run good with anything higher than 512

[sammanzhi]

actually, parallels is able to run your boot camp partition as a VM so, if you have a partition, parallels has a VM ready for you already!

[JamishHimself]

On your model, is it better to run windows via BootCamp or parallels? Please reply anyone! :D Good vid btw 5/5!

[LettuceJoans]

You did a very good job of showing how Parallels works, thank you. I want OSX so bad, but I'll have to get a shitty un-customizable iMac to use it. The iBooks looks nice though, I'll definitely be getting one the next time I buy a laptop.

[technologicalgeek]

Can I see some Apple Cinema Displays in the background? Nice :-)

[aviv000]

running game on xp passable ?

[creematthew]

I like all your little Macbook videos, you've helped give me an idea of what to expect. I just ordered a 2Ghz C2D with 2GB RAM and a 120GB hard drive! I'm excited anyway!

[macapplecs]

this is not even the Intel core 2 duo,

but i can see how much power it has....

[eckndu]

oh yes ram makes a LOT of difference. i experienced it myself. from 512 to 2G

i follow the recommented ram size for parallels: 512 and it still runs great.

[flawless1979]

i have a 1.83ghz macbook with 512 ram do u think the ram makes that much or a difference or is it the cpu that u have nice video, photoshop is realy fast for 2 os s runiing at the same time

[lynch390]

is the macbook good for the basics? (msn,mail,internet,music etc etc)

[stouffer88]

I have a black one and it is very good for even stuff like photoshop.

[JamishHimself]

Yes..excellent...Only bad thinkg is you can't get windows live plus so you cant see all the fancy nakmes and colours and instead, A jumble of numbers n colour codes insted! Bt I use all them and I love it...!

[jackets11]

I wonder if you can play games. Also in regards to the vista, why would you want to run vista when your have a Mac Os.

[F0kke]

@ raw665: No, doesn't have to be XP SP2. As you can see Norman 1977 is running Windows XP Prof sans SP2. Norman gets his performance from his 2GB and he might be using a 7200RPM HDD instead of a 5400RPM 120GB HDD which again boosts performance. Can you confirm this Norman? Btw, you can run Vista beta's (and later on the final of course) on Parallels too.

[Norman1977]

Hi there, yes, all of this is right.

[raw665]

does the guest os have to be win xp sp2? and has anyone had the problem of when you press the play button to start the VM an alert come up saying restart your computer now?

[BeyondDreamz]

OMG! This was awesome. So Parallels is another software? Virtual machine? I gotta find out about it. If that's how a Macbook is ... I surely want to buy one now!

[javjamoll]

So dos all macbooks have parallels?/ boot camp. Im thinking on getting one and looked on here for demos of it being used and all i find is "mac/pc" arguments and then this, running windows on mac. DO u have to buy a windows service pack or is it in it?

[nathanaelblevins]

You have to reboot between Os's with Bootcamp, and with Parallels, it's instant - this video is awesome. The screen rez turned me off initially, but this makes me think twice. Wow.

[leejae]

Can someone explain to me what the difference between Parrellels and Boot Camp is? And what are the advantages and disadvantages of both?

[XDViPeR]

where can i get that wallpaper?

[boyxnumberx1]

FANTASTIC !

[clewstah]

*crying with joy*

[nightsaint]

AWESOME PERFORMANCE; cant wait to get my macbook :)

[XDViPeR]

damn, i have upgraded to 100gb and 1gb ram, and my 1.83 is still not fast as yours.

[msr911]

you need 2gb ram, 1gb for macosx and 1gb for xp

[darkriderman]

Nice Vid & sweet Music!

[kjetbar]

I second to that!

[iPond317]

I heart Apple :-)

[onegottie713]

i cant run this shit!!!!!!!!aaaarrrerrrgggggg

[nksld]

i was waiting for the expose and that was awesome. that was an incrediable display of power

[shimmydaniel]

WTF How do I put XP on the macbook??

and how much RAM do you need??

[Hexley]

GOD THIS COMPUTER SCREAM

[neiltc13]

The Apple drivers for Boot Camp won't work with Parallels because it sets up a virtual machine which has a completely different set of specs to the MacBook.

[corsairstw]

Everything seems to be pretty snappy on that machine. Did you install the Apple drivers that are required for Boot Camp? Does it let you install them?
