PowerPC apps won't work with Lion

I have an application that is no longer working as the message says Lion no longer supports ower PC apps?
Is there any work around for this?

Find an update for the application, or find a newer application doing similar work.
The app that is giving the most people fits is Quicken.  Other than running Quicken for Windows in a virtual program (like Parallels) (which I already do), there are no really good alteratives to Quicken (not that Quicken for Mac was ever any good to begin with).

    Microsoft Office. Epson Scan, Canon software won't work with Lion OS

    Microsoft office 2008 and later work fine on Lion. Office 2004 is a PowerPC application. PPC apps are no longer supported and Lion does not include Rosetta, which was required to run them on OS X. I imagine the Epson / Canon software you are trying to use is the same. Check with them to see if updates are available.

    Intuit's Quicken won't work with Lion.  Installed and am using Quicken Essentials but it's not as convenient.

    this has been an issue with Quicken for a long time! Quicken was initially a Mac only application and then they got greedy! i beta-tested Quicken for Intuit for years and when they announced they were not going to support it any more the screaming was loud but not heard!
    Quicken Essentials is a crime! i wasn't even asked to beta-test it; probably because they would have gotten an earful!!! it is not essential; it is stupid.... AND, of course, their online version was a disaster. i use Quickbooks Online for business and it works like a charm; i mean it even downloads ignominious PayPal transactions now!
    i am also stupid for not really checking out if it would work with Lion - ALL of my financials are on it. I am going to have to do what @cwiens suggested above and either pull out an old Macbook I have or my well stored original Cube in its original box! thank the fates for the double backup i've always done with Quicken - Time Machine & its own key drive!
    btw, this is an old Microsoft trick - not having older versions of apps work on OS updates so they force you to buy the new versions.

  • I recently install Lion OS on my iMac and just found out that my Canon 4400F scanner won't work with Lion, what can I do to get it working again?

    I am having trouble with some of my previously installed software before installing the New Lion OS. I just found this evening that my Canon 4400F Scanner will no longer work with the new OS. I need to know if there is a solution for this short of buying a new scanner? I am also upset that my Microsoft Office Professional will no longer boot as well. Anyone know why this took place?

    If it will not longer work due to Lion, it's most likely becasuse no drivers for Lion have been released.  No way to get aroud it other than going back to Snow Leopard.  MS Office wont work if it is '04 or earlier becasue it is a PPC application.  Mac switched from PPC to Intel in 2006 and created the Rosetta emulator to allow companies to make their software compatable or allow users to buy new software.  After 5 years, Rosetta support was dropped, with the release of Lion.  No way to get this software to work with Lion.

  • Quicken for Mac replacement - won't work with Lion

    Quicken has sent an announcement to users confirming that Quicken for Mac 2005-2007 will not work with Lion, and encourage these users to begin using Quicken Essentials.  Obviously this is not an option for many.  I'm going to try out iBank 4 as a full replacement for Quicken for Mac, although I understand online bill pay is not supported.
    Any other former Quicken for Mac users using iBank 4?  Would love to hear your thoughts about it.

    Just to add to the thread..
    As Quicken will not be supporting the Mac Lion Update, I will require a replacement financial/banking software package for Quicken 2007.
    I tried Quicken Essentials but it does not do what I need.
    I am looking for the following features:
    Check Printing
    Memorized Transactions (QuickFill in Quicken)
    Custom Reports
    Memorized Reports
    Scheduled Transactions
    I do not need investment/budget/online banking features.
    Sure would appreciate some advice!
    Many thanks!
    ...John

  • Truecrypt won't work with lion.

    Truecrypt worked great with Snow Leopard.  Won't with Lion.  Get message about "MacFUSE file system not available."  There is info I need to get from Truecrypt.  Help please.

    I have just found that it indeed does work, but only after I downloaded a new revisionof Macfuse, which I learned from another forum.

  • Mail app won't work with my university proxy

    Dear all,
    I have a problem with the mail application on Lion. I'm behind a proxy server in my university and all other applications such as Safari, Chrome and Skype works well with this proxy when I have configured it in system settings.
    Mail application, however, never works. It looks like exactly when I'm completely offline and have no internet access. This is not something new on Lion and I had the exact same problem when I was on Snow Leopard. I wonder others have a workaround for this.
    Some more information: Proxy server works on port 50 with authentication.
    All the best,
    Arman

    some updates on this issue, Mail application uses the same proxy that has been set on your system (system preferences==>Network==>Advanced==>proxies). People usually use HTTP/HTTPS proxy for surfing the web. You should make sure to set SOCKS proxy as well. Mail application works with SOCKS proxy. Note that port number for SOCKS proxy is usually different from the port number for HTTP and HTTPS but the IP address of  your server (apparently) is the same.
    Hope this helps

  • What apps won't work with maverick?

    i am about to update to Maverick, aere there any apps that won't function with Maverick?

    It is far from a complete list but http://roaringapps.com/apps:table is a good starting point. It should not be considered 100% accurate.
    Uninstall any and all "anti-virus" or "cleaning" apps that should not be installed on any Mac, and back up your system as a precaution against the unexpected. Merely having a backup seems to preclude the need to ever require one.

  • Trackpad won't work with LION new options...Apple said trackpad solid-state and not compatible MACPRO...REALLY???

    So frustrated!! Should have had disclamer that it might not work with OLDER 2008 MacPro...

    It seems to work fine with my March 2007 Mac Pro. Mind you, you're probably overlooking the need for the Bluetooth adapter. I bought a Belkin adapter from Apple Store. UK, cost about GBP10.

  • Old apps won't work with Leopard

    OK, thinking this would work out alright, I bought and installed Leopard on my eMac. I knew that my machine just met the requirements to run it, but I figured I could live with a sluggish machine for a while. I upgraded the OS from 10.2.9 which ran everything fine of course. Now after installing Leopard, a number of my programs (Photoshop 7, Appleworks 6 to name a few) will not open without crashing. And I've also had problems with the Mail 3 program. It opens, I can get mail, but I can't send mail. The send button doesn't even rollover so I can try to send. It just won't let me send.
    At this point I'd be happy to just reinstall 10.2, but I can't figure out how to do that either...the 10.2 disk won't start up the installation process, it just says it needs to restart the computer and then brings me back to my regular login screen. What in the world can I do to fix this?

    How did you install 10.5, via Upgrade Install or another method?
    If you have a good backup, your best bet may an erase & clean install of Leo. You are dragging along a lot of old baggage.
    You also should be able to use Setup Assistant (which IMO works better before an admin user is created) or migrate by hand and install the apps you need to re-install.
    PS 7 will not run on 10.5
    If you really feel you need to re-install 10.4, you should erase and reformat your drive before installing 10.4.x

  • ICal won't work with Lion OS

    I just downloaded the new Lion OS and now my iCal won't open.  I click on the app and an error message pops saying "application may not be compatible with operating system"

    yes, the "dock" is the tool bar at the bottom.  Is your iCal already showing on the dock "tool bar"?  if it is, right click on the iCal icon, click on "options", then click on remove from dock.
    Then, go into your applications folder, right click on iCal, click "options", choose add to dock (or something like that).

  • DVD Player app won't work with Snow Leopard

    I installed Snow Leopard recently. I tried to watch a DVD with DVD player. It wouldn't work. I got this message in a box: "You can't use this version of the application DVD Player with this version of Mac OS X. You have DVD Player 5.0.3."
    I looked for a recent DVD player update/download and could not find one. Same with Snow Leopard updates...
    Does anybody know the fix or the workaround?
    Thanks,
    Estel Dillon

    HI,
    Download and install the 10.6.2 combo update available here.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL959
    Then repair disk permissions.
    Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
    In the future, when updating system software, click the Apple Menu  /Software Updates. If that doesnt't work then go here: http://support.apple.com/downloads/ and use the standalone installers.
    *The DVD Player application is not available to reintall from the SL disc*. If after the suggestions above haven't helped, then back up your important data before you do anything, then reinstall Snow Leopard.
    You can reinstall the following apps from your SL disc.
    Address Book
    iCal
    iChat
    iTunes
    Mail
    Oxford Dictionaries
    Safari
    and X11

  • Logic Express 9 won't work with Lion

    I just bought a new Macbook Pro! I love it. I used Migration Assistant to move things from my last mac onto the new one. A part of that move was Logic Express 9. Eveything else from the move works fine--GarageBand files and all. But Logic will not open. It keeps saying that the program is not compatiable with this version of OS X. I removed Logic from my computer and reinstalled it from the original DVD. Said the same thing. I've been reading a lot about this issue on various communities and talked with Apple support. They said I needed to upgrade Logic from 9.0.0. Well, fine. I download the 145 MB upgrade twice and it says that the upgrade cannot be installed--that it might have been corroded during download. Says that both times.
    I am lost--I need this program to work. I produce music for myself and others. I can't do without it. I don't fuss with things on my Mac. I have never moved or renamed any files. Everything is where it was when it was installed.
    I am lost and don't know what to do...

    I appreciate the response!
    I was reading some more and kept having the same problem. I ended up re-installing it a third time, then downloading the update, and finally got it working.
    Something just was weird with this.
    But got it going!
    Thanks!
