Merged

Thought it would be better to merge all the guides into one as it would be handier for users to get all at once. Would also help keep the forum less cluttered with so many stickies. (which gets overbearing for users)

It would be nice to have them all in the OP though. ;)

Hello guys,

My friend bought a Macbook and loves it. However she has 2 applications that runs only in windows. She asked me to help install XP, but she also wants her existing Snow Leopard.

How can I dual boot XP and Snow Leopard? Or Vmware is easier? She only needs XP for using 2 applications on it now and then.

Thanks for your help,

Cheers :)

You can use Boot Camp Assistent to set up a dual-boot configuration, it's located in /Applications/Utilties. If she does't rely on graphics intensive apps I'd just use VMWare Fusion since you don't have to go through the troubles of setting up multiple partitions, managing them and having to restart every time you need to access Windows. VMare Fusion is much less disruptive to your workflow.

Just picked up a macbook pro (2009) and am slightly confused with the dock section (beginner guide), it states "right clicking the separator will give you options for the dock". Right clicking?! I don't have left/right click!

You can set Dock preference by going to:

Apple > System Preferences Dock.

Also in the system preferences for the mouse or trackpad you can set the Secondary Click options.

Or hold the Option key and and just click normally

    • Using Windows 10 past its end of support date, is it really that bad?

      By +Eternal Tempest · Posted

      Because of the EU (a good thing) newer android devices been getting 5 years worth of security patches. Except some Motorola which found the loop hole, and offer ZERO updates. In addition, Google for years have been making where it can patch some stuff by updating the core Google Play Store itself.  As echoed earlier,  you take the security risk in to your own hand beyond supported.

      Yes for me, I installed 'old calculator' (Windows 7 calculator) in its place since it is more useful to me. I think paint is the only one I left installed
