What does Time Machine on a Mac actually do?
Time Machine is a piece of software included with the Mac operating system, Mac OS X 10.5 and higher (Leopard and higher). Time Machine functions by making a complete, bootable backup of the entire internal hard drive on a Mac onto an external hard drive of your choice (though it must be formatted specifically for the Mac, using the HFS+ formatting scheme). It makes backups of files every hour, every day, every week, and every month, until space on the chosen external drive that is used as the Time Machine is full. From that point on, the software will delete the oldest backups, and add files or changes as they are added to the internal hard drive. For example, if you make a complete backup on October 1, any changes you make after that date will be added as "incremental" backups. If your October 1 backup did not fill up your entire external hard drive, then any changes would be added on October 2. Time Machine works automatically once you have set it up, and once you have the external hard drive plugged in. It is recommended to make your backups as often as possible, in order to have the most recent files available to you in your backup, should you require them. In the latest version of the Mac operating system, Mac OS X 10.7.1, Lion, you can also make Time Machine backups to an additional internal hard drive. However, if your entire computer is destroyed or otherwise damaged, your backup would also be lost, which is why it is often recommended to have an external, if not off-site (and/or online) backup as well. Time Machine can also be configured to backup other external hard drives (such as USB flash drives) or NOT backup specific folders within your internal hard drive.

Can you run Parallels on a Mac and still play PC games?
Possibly, but it's inadvisable for several reasons (Note that I am researching this information via Internet rather than personal experience). The most obvious is hardware constraints: you are running an operating system that is running another operating system that is running a game, so speed will be hampered considerably. Compatibility is also a problem: Parallels, like any emulator, has its flaws. These are naturally aggravated when dealing with complex graphical operations. Bottom line is, games generally require absolute control of your machine in order to run properly for both performance and stability reasons, and Parallels doesn't provide that kind of environment. Therefore, it's probably a bad idea to run games with Parallels and XP. Speaking of performance and stability... for the love of God, don't try this with Vista.
What operating system does Mac use?

Is it possible run Microsoft Access on a MacBook Pro with parellels desktop installed after installing windows 7 XP or vista I want to buy a MacBook Pro but I still need to use Access for work?
It is possible to run Microsoft's Access on a MacBook Pro with Parallels Desktop. Parallels creates a virtual Windows computer on the Mac where you can run your Windows software. The Access database will need to be on the Windows side - either on the Parallels virtual disc or a connected Windows network as it will not be recognised if located on the Mac OS X hard disc.
What happens if you put a disc for PC in a Mac computer?
A CD/DVD disc: It will depend what is on the disc. If there are files (Text, Video, Audio etc.) that the Mac can read then you can open them on the Mac.

How do you make mac-book hard disk NTFS format compatible?

How do you insert 3.5 inch disk into apple computer that appears to only accept 5 inch?
The answer is probably "You don't". Macs have not supported 3.5 inch floppy discs for many years. If you need to use such a disc with a modern Mac then you will need to buy an external USB floppy disc drive. If you mean a 3 inch mini DVD then again you will need some form of external drive to use such a disc or an old Mac with a pop out drawer to hold the disc. If it is a disc from a camera then you can usually connect the camera to the Mac and read the disc from the camera. Full details of the type of disc and Mac would help.
