How to: Run Mac OSX Inside windows.

August 29, 2012 in how to, Mac, OS, Tech, Windows with 0 Comments

For long Mac users where be able to work with dual platforms [and sometimes triple] by wither software such as parallel or direct hard drive. But no it is time for windows users to have this advantage too. In this article we will show you how to install Mac OS X [Mountain Lion] on a windows computer.

You Need:

  1. Windows Computer: Runs 64-bit [Because Mountain Lion runs with 64-bit, but if you want you can run Snow leopard (uses 32-bit)] and with at least dual core/4 GB of RAM.
  2. Virtual Box [software]: You should download the Extension pack [Due it offers USB support]. Oh and did we mention that it is completely free.
  3. A Hacked Mountain Lion disk image: you can find it by searching Google. If that doesn’t sit well with you, you can head over to the Mac App Store and buy a legit copy for yourself.
  4. HackBoot1 & HackBoot2: Helps with the installations.
  5. MultiBeast 4 [You will need it later in the installation so don't download it now], which will help you get audio and other things working correctly after installation. You’ll need to register for a free account over at Tonymacx86.com to download this. Make sure to download MultiBeast 4—it’s labeled “Lion”, but for our purposes the Lion version works better than the Mountain Lion version.

Follow the Steps for a perfect installation.

    1. Start up VirtualBox and click the New button. Give your new virtual machine a name and set the operating system on “Mac OS X Server (64-bit)”.
    2. Click Next and choose how much RAM to give your virtual machine [2 GB is good to go].
    3. Click Next, and choose “Create New Disk” –> using VDI format, and with dynamically allocated storage. When you are done VirtualBox should appera on your desktop.
    4. Next, right-click on your OS X machine in the left sidebar, click Settings, go to the “System” section and uncheck “Enable EFI”, click on the Storage section of the settings and click on the CD icon that says “Empty” under Storage Type. Then, click the CD icon next to the “CD/DVD Drive”, and select “Choose a Virtual CD/DVD Disk File”. Choose the HackBoot 1 ISO and click OK.
    5. Now, your machine is ready to boot for the first time. Make sure you have your Mountain Lion ISO ready.
    2. Installing the Apple inside the window.

    1. Select your OS X machine in VirtualBox’s left sidebar and click the Start button in the toolbar. It’ll bring you to the HackBoot boot screen, with one icon in the middle labeled HackBoot.
      Click on the CD icon at the bottom of the VirtualBox window and select “Choose a Virtual CD/DVD Disk File”. This time, choose your hacked Mountain Lion ISO.
    2. Go back to the HackBoot boot screen and press F5. It should reload the boot menu, this time showing you an “OS X Install DVD”. Select this option and press Enter, it’ll take you to the OS X Installation screen.
    3. After you choose your language, you’ll see that OS X doesn’t detect any valid hard drives. So head to Utilities > Disk Utility.
    4. Click on your VirtualBox hard drive in the left sidebar, then click the Erase tab in Disk Utility’s main panel. Give your drive a name (like “Macintosh HD”) and click “Erase”.
    5. Exit Disk Utility and continue with the OS X installation as normal.

    The rest of the installation should be pretty self-explanatory. When it finishes, it’ll take you to a black screen with white text, click the “X” in the upper-right corner of the window to power off the virtual machine.

    3. The Final Step:

    1. Open up VirtualBox, right-click on your OS X virtual machine in the left sidebar. Head back to its Settings and go to the Storage section. Again, click on the disc icon on the right side of the window, this time choosing the HackBoot 2 ISO.
    2. Click the Start button to reboot your virtual machine. You should see the HackBoot menu again, this time with an option to boot into your new virtual machine. Select that option and press Enter.
    3. After a minute, you should see the Mountain Lion desktop with the familiar galaxy wallpaper. Open up Safari, head to Tonymacx86.com, and download MultiBeast.
    4. Open up System Preferences > Security. Click the lock in the bottom left-hand corner, enter your password, and set the “Allow Applications” preference to “Anywhere”. This will let you run Multibeast.
    5. Launch Multibeast. When you get to the Installation Type section, Choose the options pictured below:

      Click continue and finish the Multibeast installation. It may take a few minutes.

    Your audio won’t work right away. Now you need the HackBoot to Boot the OS X in order not to do so please read LifeHacker.com Article.

    Thanks for reading that far, if you enjoyed this article please share it, comment if you face any problems. Good luck.

     

How to: Prevent your mac from sleeping when the led is closed.

August 13, 2012 in Apple, how to, Mac, Windows with 0 Comments

Some times when you work for long hours, and only some downloads are left you

tend to close the led. But the problem is that the mac goes to sleep, and unlikeWindows laptops you don’t have the option of choosing not to. However, we found a Solution. 

With the app “No Sleep” you can control the option of closing the led without your mac going to sleep from the menu bar. In addition to that you can set time to when it goes to sleep, or never if the AC adaptor is on or you are running out of battery.

App Price: Free
