RecentlyI have dual booted a Mac with windows **Without Using BootCamp Assistant. Instead I used media creation tool on an another PC to download Windows 10 ISO file and had created bootable pen drive using Rufus. Smoothly, plugging in the pen drive and installing Windows from it.
Newer Mac computers and some older Mac computers automatically try to start up from macOS Recovery over the Internet when unable to start up from the built-in recovery system. When that happens, you see a spinning globe instead of an Apple logo during startup. To manually start up from macOS Recovery over the Internet, hold down Option-Command-R or Shift-Option-Command-R at startup.
I have successfully dual booted both Window and Mac OS as well as Kali and Mac OS. The problem is installing Kali once I have dual boot Windows and Mac OS. I have tried several tutorials, and the one that got me the furthest was here. Once I had windows and Mac OS dual booted, from within Windows I shrunk the Windows partition to 128gb, and created a 32gb for partition for Kali, a 32gb one for swap, and 32gb for a shared file folder between all three OSs. I then tried installing Kali with the GRUB boot loader. No errors occurred, then when booting with rEFInd I selected the Linux partition, only to receive an error saying "missing operating system." I then deleted all of the partitions, reinstalled Windows and then tried installing Kali without the GRUB boot loader. This did not work any better. Windows still gave the 0xc000000e with the "preparing to repair" message, and Kali still said it was missing the OS. I know this doesn't pertain entirely to Apple, as it involves Linux and Windows, but has anyone successfully done this before?
I sugest the easiest way is to instal Mac and windows as you have done before make the partition etc then when you go to install Grub there is an option where to install it. install to the partition where the linux installation is (take note during partitioning the location) this way the boot partition doesn't get edited and often it cant be on new systems except by the host OS. then make a bootable usb with supergrub2 to boot linux this way when osx updates or anything else decides to write to EFI your ok. this still gives you the option to direct refind or whatever bootmanager to grub
I'm running docker for mac and want to start up a windows container. From what I see this should work via a virtual machine. But I'm unclear where to find out how to get it to work? Or does it only work for linux containers? Thanks in advance!
You could also install Bootcamp on your machine which allows you to dual boot your computer between OS X and Windows 10. You could then use the full power of your hardware dedicated to Windows and docker instead of virtualization.
Additionally, you can make the use of VMWare Fusion for Mac OS or Parallels, which allow you to ALSO access the dual boot windows partition from within the Mac OS for maximum flexibility. During installation make sure you do not create a Virtual Machine drive, but instead access the bootcamp partition directly.
Sibelius is unusable on Mac
Posted by Niels Hak - 02 Apr 04:18PM Hide picture Hi,
I've been using Sibelius since version 4. I've always been a Mac user. Back in the Sibelius 7 days Sibelius got so slow and sluggish on Mac OS I switched to Windows. It works way faster on Windows and I have been using it quite happily like that for a few years.
I recently switched back to the Mac ecosystem for other reasons, only to find that even now, about 4 years later on Sibelius 8.5, things have not improved one. single. bit.
Scrolling through orchestral scores is an absolute nightmare and inputting notes lags behind with about a second. Matters get worse the larger I make the Sibelius window and easen when I make it small, which is of course not usable either.
Audio playback is perfectly fine however, not a single problem there.
My hardware isn't the problem either; I'm running a recent Macbook Pro with dedicated AMD graphics, 16GB of RAM and an i7 processor and I'm also running a Mac Pro with a 6-core CPU, dual GPU's and 32GB of ram.
To make it even more obvious how flawed the Mac version of Sibelius really is: it runs even worse on the Mac Pro, which is way more powerful than the Macbook Pro. This is probably due the Mac Pro being connected to a 4K monitor whereas the Macbook Pro uses the built in display.
I'd love to hear if there are any plans for optimizing the Sibelius experience on Mac, or if there's any setting I'm missing (I already tried disabling font smoothing). Sibelius is seriously handicapped on Mac OS, neigh; unusable. I literally have to dual boot Windows on my Macs just to be able to properly use Sibelius which is of course is crippling to my workflow. Are there any plans for Sibelius to go use the new Metal framework, or at least have the GPU accelerate the visual appearance of scores?
I'd hate to leave Sibelius behind. I tried both Finale and Dorico in the past but neither of them offered me the workflow I'm used to with Sibelius, before it became unusable of course. Back to top Allthreads Re: Sibelius is unusable on Mac
Posted by Philip Woodroffe - 05 Apr 01:29AM Hide picture i don't find it at all sluggish on the mac, you say orchestral scores how many staves are we talking? what sounds are you using? if it is note performer or something else relatively heavy have you tried switching to midi until you need to play, this may boost performance for note entering. also what latency settings do you have and are you using any bluetooth audio devices?
does your MacBook pro or mac pro have a spinning hard drive or ssd?
ive upgraded my mac to ssd, its so much faster,
you might want to consider making a signature like mine below with all the setup details to make it easier to answer your questions.

Posted by Niels Hak - 05 Apr 06:30AM Hide picture Thank you for replying.
I think the big difference here is that you are using relatively low resolution screens. My Mac Pro is connected to a 4K screen and my macbook pro is of the retina variety. They both use SSD storage and switching playback doesn't affect the problem at all. I'm fairly certain Sibelius is just badly written and isn't able to use system resources like the dGPU to its full potential. Back to top Allthreads Re: Sibelius is unusable on Mac
Posted by Philip Woodroffe - 07 Apr 01:08AM Hide picture do you have plenty of space on your ssd drive? I know its unlikely that you are running out of space but this can have a detrimental effect on performance, you seem to think it has something to do with the display, do you have a lesser monitor to try it and see if this improves things, yes i know it will only be a temporary fix if this is the case. have you tried different resolution to see if that helps?

Posted by Niels Hak - 07 Apr 10:04AM Hide picture Making the Sibelius window smaller indeed improves things, just like lowering the resolution. But this means Sibelius' code isn't utilizing the gpu for rendering since I can even game on my full 4k resolution. There's no reason Sibelius shouldn't be running smoothly, even on such high resolution. Back to top Allthreads
