Non-Intel MAC (Power PC G5) Will parallels or Boot Camp install on a G5 MAC?

no. Only Intel-based macs. my older mac, a G4 (PPC) gets an error during install saying you must have an intel processor. Sorry

Don't know.. I'm using on a Mac OS X 10.8 and with parallels running Windows 7. .it works on both of those.

Also, give BootCamp a shot. It's a free download on the Apple website. The only downside is that you would have to dual-boot the Mac, which means, if you want to use the Windows apps, you would have to reboot your Mac into the Windows OS. I would recommend Parallels, but if $80 is not in the budget, BootCamp is the best alternative.

I think yes but you should contact Parallels directly. Better yet just get the newest version of 9.

Yes, as long as you have the hard drive space, and enough RAM: "To use Mac OS X v10.4, your Macintosh needs: A PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor Built-in FireWire At least 256 MB of RAM DVD drive (DVD-ROM), Combo (CD-RW/DVD-ROM) or SuperDrive (DVD-R) for installation At least 3 GB of free disk space."

I run it on my Mac Air - but... I did have to add Bootcamp and windows to do it. So this was a mild hassle. When I start my computer I do have to change my OS when opening to start windows, but after that it runs just fine.

I'm not totally sure. I know many Apple products will not run MS-Office modules (Like iPhones and iPads). There should be no reason you cannot run this if you have virtual partitions on your Mac like "Parallels", but I don't think it will run without these additions.

I would like to know how you ran Parallels on a G4 machine. The box says it is only compatible with Intel-based Macs. Parallels has a snapshot feature. If you get infected with a virus, you can always revert back to the last snapshot before the infection. Hint: take a snapshot after setting up Windows without a network connection, and after configuring it the way you like it. Then go onto the internet. A full install of the Parallels toolset opens up access to the Mac disc drives. Although a Windows virus would not infect the Mac environment via Parallels, it is possible that using an infected Windows Word to edit a Word doc on the Mac would definitely lead to a Macro virus infection of .doc files on the Mac. Sharing such a file with your correspondents would send them the virus, and they would then be infected. Also, Trojan Horses can execute code that can have devastating effects, especially if targetting the Mac. I am not aware of any of this type, but there is always a first time...

It is my understand you can install this version on a mac with an intel chipset however, from what I understand you need to get an extra program to help with the install. Dont recall the name off hand

My best friend is an all mac guy and I'm afraid he's not going to be able to play WildStar at all. They definitely won't have mac support at release. I have read several forum entries that say don't try to play Wildstar on Parallels because the delay on the MAC is overwhelming. I know some people are now trying to setup Bootcamp and make it work but it doesn't sound positive.I would definitely wait till Carbine comes out with a MAC client..

YES, and it "jams" just as good! I'm currently running Win 8.1 Pro with the complete MS Office Suite on a MAC OS X laptop. But, I'm running Win 8.1 in a Virtual Machine space using Parallels Desktop 10. Parallels will let you run dual OS along with sharing resources from the MAC. In other words the MAC is really running Win 8.1 as a "guest OS" in a sense. But, I found Parallels Desktop to be VERY SOLID and STABLE product and simple to setup and use. I ran both versions 9 and 10, as 10 is a recent upgrade. However, Parallels will cost you between $60 and $100. I bought the $60 product, which includes support for remote access from a MAC OS X laptop, an iPad, or a mobile iPone. I use Access from my mobile 5s iPhone with a high degree of success to run the laptop when it's not with me. But, BassJump 2 does work very good even under Windows! Some MAC users run Winn 8.1 using Bootcamp as a stand-alone OS. I do not have any experience with this environment. But, Parallels let's you run Win 8.1 at the same time OS X is running as a dual OS environment, and only uses about 1Gb hard disk to install and run Win 8.1. Parallels will also allow you to adjust disk and memory resources. But, I find both to be very substantial. One more note, this product does fill the "void" in sound, but is best used if placed directly behind the flip lid of your laptop and will deliver enough sound just to entrain 1 person. Namely, you. If you want to entertain 3 or more, I would advise getting an external Bluetooth sound system for that. But, remember that this solution uses it's own power source, whereas the BassJump 2 pulls power direct from the laptop via a USB port. Good luck with your choice!

Yes. It is versatile with Windows OS, but will not work without using Parallels or some other compiler with Apple.

This is a full version... The difference between this one and the boxed version is that there is no Microsoft customer support include. As for installing on your MAC, yes this version will work. You can use Bootcamp that came with your MAC to dual boot or purchase and install Parallels which will allow you to run it virtually inside of OSX.

Hi Richard! You can install programs (like parallels) in this laptop to have virtual machines where you can install any OS you want (like windows). But in fact you CANT move windows programs directly (without the apps I mentioned before) into this Apple laptop. Mac OS and Windows are two completly different operation systems that works in entirely different ways. If you are mainly going to use those windows programs in daly basis I do not recommend you to buy this laptop, get another (not apple) one.

The software is Windows based. I use Parallels on a Mac and it works just fine, but it will not work with OSx.

If you intend to run Windows on a MAC, you must first install Parallels and then install Windows onto Parallels. You can then run Windows and Windows programs on a MAC.

The Mac disk that came with the S1500M was readable under Parallels and contained drivers for running the S1500. These drivers work just fine for running the S1500M under Windows XP. It seems to work a bit better or more reliably than the Mac software :-)
