zlim Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 The politically correct answer: It is against Apple's Terms of Service to run an Apple OS on non-Apple hardware.Mods/admins, feel free to remove this sentence. Yes, it can be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Google is your friend...My opinion: the same as Liz. On top of that: the college may refuse this way of handling the situation due to legal problems which may arise, in other words: get over it and buy your daughter the hardware + the software she needs. You'll circumvent any problems now or in future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeber Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Running any software let alone an operating system on hardware it isn't intended to be run on can create endless headaches with unrecognized peripherals, lack of security updates, etc. Hacking a PC to run Mac is for geeks willing to break their systems, not for someone looking for a stable environment. I'd suggest checking Craigslist and other classifieds. The one here has Macs a plenty, some at very reasonable prices as long as you're willing to work with a used computer.

Guest LilBambi Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Totally agree with striker, Liz, and Jack on this.Mac software is optimized for Mac hardware ... especially software of that nature. Strongly suggest you get her a Macbook Pro and as much RAM as it will fit for such programs (audio and video editing). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
