I am a iPhone Developer. I have a dell inspiron 1525 laptop. I need to install mac os x(Lion or snow leopard) on it since buying a mac is too costly. Just for practicing.
Guys can anyone help me on how to install mac os. Thanks in advance.
That's totally illegal, but nothing is impossible. There are some tricky ways to do it. But you won't get best results or good development environment in it. So, if you want Mac OSX, then buy a Mac. I will not share any tricky ways to install Mac OSX in dell laptop as it is illegal. Correct me if I am wrong.

I have one question regarding running XCode in Windows OS
is it possible to install xcode in windows 7 machine?
It's not in Apple's interests to let you do that, so they don't make it easy...you could probably use a VM or Hackintosh (I've known devs who used a hackintosh for a while).
Use a Virtual Machine (VirtualBox for example) to run OSX in Windows.

I have just upgraded to Mac OS Lion and I have a problem with Fugu application that I used to use on Snow Leopard, I can't run it on Lion now.
Do you know how a patch for running it on Lion or have you alternative applications which does the same things ?
I know there is the Terminal (scp localPath login#ip:distantPath) to copy files but it's easier to do this job with a SCP client if you are looking for the file you want to transfer among all directories.
Fugu works for me on Lion. Perhaps you should just download a newer version, or give details on the error you get.
If you don't mind spending money on it, Transmit is a great alternative (that is, if you're comfortable with SFTP).
Anyway, this question doesn't really belong here.
I use Interarchy, not that expensive and great to work with.
For Fugu, there is a preview release that works on Lion.

Having virtualized the Mac OS X 10.7 Lion with VMware Workstation i want to start with iOS development and it works.
However I want to achieve better performance to run the Mac OS as a "primary OS" on my laptop.
What I was thinking about is to set up Windows to kill all processes on startup which do not need to be executed (Sound, Aero, Explorer, ...) and to execute VMware automatically so that it seems we're are directly booting into Mac OS X without too many unnecessary services running in the background.
This would be the only solution I can think about due to the restriction that it is VERY difficult to run Mac OS X natively on a laptop or PC. Any idea how I can manage this or do you even know any better solutions to achieve what i want?
do you even know any better solutions to achieve what i want?
Buy a Mac!
Bonus: You'll be in compliance with the Mac OS X License Agreement, which requires that you only install the operating system on official Apple-branded hardware. Installation on a virtual machine is explicitly forbidden, and quite unlikely to be successful for an iOS developer.
You'll also need to buy an iPhone or iPad anyway to test your applications on the physical hardware.

I just bought an old Apple iMac G4 for $10 at a yard sale and I'm trying to figure out what I could install on the unit to make it somewhat functional/useful. For $10 I couldn't resist. Now if I can figure out something that I can actually install on it that would make it useful I will have gotten a great deal.
Any thoughts and suggestions are appreciated.
You could install
any Mac OS X up to 10.5
any Linux distro for PowerPC (see e.g. Penguin PPC

I'm deadly interested in Cocoa. I want to begin to study Objective-C and to use Xcode. Please tell me what the minimal (let's say, the cheap one) Mac Model you'd like to recommend me. I am meaning for Xcode 4.
Thank you.
Any Mac you can buy at this moment will be fine. Your cheapest option would probably be the Mac mini if you have a decent screen already. Other good options can be the MacBook 13" (I use this is my main development machine) and iMac of you don't need to be mobile.
Any new Mac. Or any used Intel-based Mac under 3 years old.
