I am using TV to support my elderly parents living a few hundred kms away. They are using Mac Pro with 10.8.5 because of Adobe CS4 Master Collection - no option to update Adobe - so no option to update Mac OS X. They have installed TV 12. I have PC with TV 15 and mac with. All-inclusive data recovery program for all iOS devices running on Mac OS X. Videos, WhatsApp, calendar. Retrieve.OS X 10.1.0, 10.9 Mavericks, 10.8 Mountain Lion, 10.
That said if you own Mac OS X based computers, you can run Windows applications such as Notepad, Mikrotik Winbox and more.
In this post I want to show you how to install Wine on Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2 (it should be also applicable for Snow Leopard 10.6, Leopard 10.5, and Tiger 10.4) via MacPorts.
UPDATE: For those of you who have upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion, you will be surprised that Wine will no longer work because Apple removes the X11 from Mountain Lion. The solution is you have to install XQuartz as the substitute of X11. You can download and install the XQuartz from XQuartz project website.
1. Download the MacPorts from its website. Select the appropriate file to meet with your Mac version. Note that you must have XCode and X11 (XQuartz in Mountain Lion) window environment installed in the system.
2. Once it’s downloaded, double-click the dmg file and follow the on-screen installation process. You have to be connected to internet while installing the MacPorts because it downloads the port files in a background process.
3. Once the MacPorts has been successfully installed, check whether the ‘port’ command is already in your PATH or not. In Mac OS X Lion, it should be already in the PATH. Otherwise run the below command to export the port into the PATH.
4. Now we are ready to install the Wine via MacPorts by issuing ‘sudo port install wine’ as follow
It will take a couple of minutes for the port script to retrieve, download, building and then install the wine and its dependency softwares. So be patient!.
Mac Os X Update
When it’s done, you should see something like below:

If there is no error like above, the Wine has been successfully installed on Mac OS X and you are ready to run Microsoft Windows programs.
