Click here to get Parallels for Mac
Click here to get Windows on Amazon
In this video I’ll be showing you how to run Windows on your Mac using Parallels. This is a virtualization program for your Mac and allows you to run Windows virtually so you can run both operating systems at the same time. You don’t have to boot into a separate hard drive or anything like that. So the first thing you want to do is click the links above to get Parallels and a valid Windows install disc.
So once you have Parallels installed you’re going to open it and choose to install Windows from a DVD or image file. If you have a Windows install disc you can insert it into your Mac DVD drive or choose a Windows installation ISO file. Enter the product key for Windows (or skip and activate later). Choose how you want the virtual Windows machine to behave. You can have it run Windows applications without opening up the Windows desktop, or you can have it all in one single virtual program. Choose a name for the virtual machine. Parallels will load the disc or image file, and it will start the Windows set up. Next choose your language, choose Install Now. Select I accept then Next. Choose Custom (Advanced). Choose Disk 0 then click Next.
Here’s an overview of the Parallels virtual machine settings. You can allocate a certain amount of memory to give the virtual machine while it’s running. Also you can allocate the number of CPU cores for the virtual machine, the total size of the virtual hard drive. It’s actually expandable so it expands as it needs to. The Options tab has all kinds of different categories that you can change. Startup and Shutdown, Optimization, Security, Backup, Sharing, Applications, Coherence, Full-Screen, Modality, and Advanced. The Hardware tab shows the hardware your Mac is sharing with the virtual machine: DVD drive, hard drive, network, USB, Bluetooth, iSight camera, etc.
Windows will perform a restart automatically after it gets done installing the first main files then it will complete the installation. Finish setting up Windows by entering a username, password, product key, time zone, recommended settings, and network settings.
When Windows installation is complete you’ll be in the Windows desktop. As you can see it’s running virtually on the Mac so it’s just like Windows in its own application. The mouse integration is seamless as well as the network. It’s bridging the network from the Mac so it already has Internet access. Parallels really makes this an easy setup, and everything is automatically set up through Parallels. It all does it in the background for you. That’s why I think Parallels is the best application that you can use when you want to run Windows on a Mac. Not to mention you can pretty much use all your Mac hardware in the Windows virtual machine. So as you can see you can do anything like you’re running a normal Windows machine, but it’s on a Mac. That is how to install and run Windows on a Mac using Parallels. It’s the absolute best way to do it.

Okay so this is going to be a quick overview on how to use Clean My Mac 2 to clean up your Mac and speed it up, make it faster, and get more hard drive space. So at any time during this video if you click on the annotation on the top of this video it’ll take you to Clean My Mac’s website where you can download it. Or you can click the link in the description below, and that will take you to the site as well.
So once you’ve downloaded and installed Clean My Mac 2 it will take you to this opening screen here. Now what I love about Clean My Mac is it does exactly what its name says. It cleans up your Mac and it does it in a very simple and powerful way. And the design is very, very beautiful. It’s got a very elegant design. They really made this app look pleasing to the eye.
Now the Automatic Cleanup represents a complete cleanup guide which incorporates all other modules of Clean My Mac. Automatic Cleanup is the most efficient and rapid cleanup, and it’s divided into three main steps. The Full Scan will look through all possible areas on your Mac and automatically identify all the items that it can safely get rid of. The full scan involves System Cleanup, iPhoto Cleanup, Trash Cleanup, and Large and Old Files. There’s also an inbuilt Ignore List so you don’t have to worry that Clean My Mac will select anything for removal that it shouldn’t. All important items will not be listed in the scan results at all.
Now after the full scan is over you’re presented with a brief results list which includes items suggested for automatic cleanup. Clicking the Clean button at this point will remove all the stuff that clutters your Mac. For instance, removed items will not include any of your personal or vital system files. What you get after Automatic Cleanup is a faster Mac with a significant amount of additional free space on it with literally no effort from you at all.
And right after Automatic Cleanup you’re presented with the Manual Cleanup steps you should take to free up even more space. When you’re done with Manual Cleanup you can click the Summarize Cleanup button to see your overall results so that you clearly know how much space was saved.
The System Cleanup section helps you take care of all the unneeded items generated by your system and applications. After you start a scan, Clean My Mac will use an algorithm to determine what files can be safely removed automatically so you shouldn’t worry about system stability. What you get after the scan is a visual representation of items that can be instantly removed with no harm. In order to review the particular stuff you’re about to remove just click the Detailed Results button, and you can see all the items that it’s about to remove. Clicking the main Clean button will remove all the unneeded items and free up a significant amount of space.
Large and Old Files helps you locate, review, and remove large files and folders that you haven’t opened for months and probably don’t need any more. The default location is your home folder, but you can select any location to analyze such as internal or external drives, network folders, or any other places where files are stored. Now once you’ve selected all the places that you want to scan just hit the Scan button to analyze the files. After the scan is over you’ll be presented with a list of all the large and old files that you have. Now what I really love about Clean My Mac is the customization. For instance here you can customize the filter by setting the minimum size of displayed items and the time they were last accessed. So now you can select the unwanted files and click Remove to finalize the process and clean up your hard drive
iPhoto Cleanup is a powerful space saving feature for those who have large iPhoto libraries. This feature looks through your iPhoto library to locate unneeded original copies of images kept by iPhoto after you’ve edited them. You can start scanning your default Library or select a different library to analyze. After the scan is over, Clean My Mac will show you the results and allowing you to automatically remove items that are completely safe to get rid of. These may include rotated and fixed redeye original copies. Then you can decide what items you want to remove and click the Clean button and it’ll finalize the process. After the cleanup is over you get the same iPhoto library but it weighs a lot less.
Trash Cleanup helps to empty all system trash folders of your internal and external drives including iPhoto trash. Now here there’s no need to initiate any scans. Clean My Mac automatically locates all trash folders and presents you with a list of them from the very start. You can use the main Empty button right away and permanently remove all the stuff you had in all the listed trash folders. Or you can click on a trash folder and go through the items to remove its contents. Then after you decide on all the items that you want to remove permanently just click the Empty button. And again you’ll be left with more free space on your hard drive.
The Uninstaller provides easy and complete application removal from your Mac. It presents you with a list of all the applications that are installed on your Mac even if they are not in the main applications folder. The applications list represents all supported applications that are installed in your default applications folder or anywhere else on your Mac. If you wish to uninstall an application just select it. You’ll see the main app file itself and all of its related items. Now the Leftovers section provides you with a list of items on your system that earlier belonged to applications that you’ve already trashed. Basically the files that are no longer used by any of your apps and only waste space. The Unsupported section will list all the applications that are present on your system but cannot be used with it. Now once you’ve selected all the items that you wish to remove you’ll just click the main Uninstall button at the bottom.
The Extensions Manager allows you to remove or disable your widgets. Apart from your ordinary applications there are quite a lot of other software components on your system that can be generally described as extensions, and they’re all listed here. After you’ve reviewed the list you can click the Disable button next to virtually any item to isolate it from your system, or you can select items for complete removal using the corresponding checkboxes. After you’ve looked through the sections and selected the unwanted items you can go ahead and use the main Remove button at the bottom to completely remove them and clean up your system.
The Eraser lets you quickly dispose of any unwanted files from your Mac without going to the trash first. If you have any file or folder that you wish to permanently remove just click the Select Files button and add the unwanted items to Eraser. Now when you’re all set you can just click the main Erase button and it’ll get rid of all the unwanted items.

MacX DVD Ripper Pro, in my opinion, is the best and easiest way to rip or copy DVD movies to your Mac if you’re planning to put those movies on your iOS device later. It’s very simple to use.

It will automatically select the main movie file for you. Then you can select the folder where you’d like the movie to be copied to. So you can click Browse then click Run and it will start to copy the DVD.
Once it’s finished the window will pop up with your video in it. Now you’ll just open up iTunes and browse to the folder and drag and drop the video file into iTunes. And when it’s done copying you’ll sync your iPad, iPod or iPhone with iTunes via the USB cable.

Hey everybody what’s up? This is a quick video on how to copy any DVD to iTunes so you can put them on any device – your iPhone, iPad, iPod, Android tablet, Android smart phone, or just keep them in iTunes. This is a fantastic piece of software that I’m using. It’s called MacX DVD Ripper Pro.

Or you can click this Load DVD folder if you already have a folder on your computer. Or if you have the ISO image you can click this ISO button. Most people are, like I said, are going to be using the DVD button so click that.
And here the Source DVD disc window pops up. It’ll show you what’s loaded into your drive right now. It’ll show the main title of the movie here in this box. You’ll just hit OK. Alright and here it is. It’ll pop up the output profile window and here is where you can select what output format that you want your movie to be in depending on what device you’re going to put it on. So I can choose anything from an Apple device, iPhone, iPod, iPad, all kinds of stuff, Android tablet to Android smart phone, and even YouTube video and PC General, all kinds of stuff. So right now I’m just going to choose iPhone. It gives you these recommended settings which is really awesome because you won’t have to go in here and change any of the settings. It’s already chosen for you. It gives you the best quality option and it gives you, even gives you the option to choose older models which is pretty cool. So I’m just going to leave mine on iPhone 5. Click Done.
And here it is. It automatically detects the main movie title. It’s got a check right here. You can see how it’s the longest. This is the duration so it’s an hour and six. That’s the main movie. If you just want to copy the main movie it automatically selects it for you and you just hit Run. But if you want to select any of the extras, if the DVD has any extras you can go ahead and select any of these here. You can select them all if you want to and you can go ahead and click Run.
That’s pretty easy. That’s as simple as it is. I will show you what the settings look like if you want to go in here and change some of these. Basically the default audio language we’ll just leave that at English obviously. And then you can choose this Open Output Folder that’s by default. And you can actually check this Add MP4 files to iTunes library after conversion. What this does is it automatically adds the video movie to your iTunes so you don’t have to do it manually after it’s converted, after it’s copied to your Mac. And you can actually choose this Shut down computer after conversion if you’d like. And here you can choose the default location of where the backed up copy of the DVD video goes onto your computer. I just have mine set to the desktop by default. You can change it to whatever you’d like. So now, yeah we’ll just hit Run and let it copy the DVD to your Mac.
And there it is folks, simple as that. The output folder will pop up. Your movie will be there. If you want to put it into iTunes, just open up iTunes and you can drag and drop this movie in there and then once it loads there it is.
