Release dates for various universal software and games????

Hi everyone. I am totally new to Apple, infact a week ago I took the plunge from PC to Mac and ordered a Imac G5. Luckily Apple contacted me before it was shipped a offered me the the new system, which I gladly took.
My question is should I wait until the new universal editions of the programs and games are released or will I not even notice a difference using the older editions through Rosetta? Does anyone know when the universal editions of many popular programs and games should start to appear?
Thanks
Leecho

It's the old name for what we now know as RoboHelp (as opposed to TCS). At that time I think it included the bits we get now but then could be purchased separately. Rick will probably recall that better.
I don't have release dates but there is no expiry date as such. Support is only available for the current and previous versions. Beyond that they just keep running. X4 (12) and X5 (13) are problematic in that they require activation and can no longer be activated. For X5 there is a download to get around that. For X4 you are plain out of luck.

  • Release Date for Albums Year, MONTH DAY

    Why can't I enter the release date for albums (Year month and day)?   Itunes has a field for year but that's it.    I would have loved to be at the meeting where it was discussed.
    "Year, month and day? why the heck would any want that?"
    "Well a lot of us want to see our albums in chronological order and you can't do that with just the year, many albums come out every year"
    "Blah Blah Blah, music is just to dance to, no one cares about dates, besides it would four extra digit fields in each entry"
    But seriously, I would think that Itunes would aspire to be THE program for music lovers.
    Instead of being able to just enter the release dates I have had to come up with my own work around.  I put a the release date in the format yyyymmdd in fromt of each title and then sort by titles.
    Now all of my Beatle albums finally show up in chronological order by release date.   But why should I have to massage the data like this.   I can't imagine what goes on at Itunes planning  sessions.  I'm very unhappy about the loss of cover flow but that's another story.

    I'm glad to hear that I am not the only one who sees this as a problem.  And another Beatles fan too.
    This is so fundamental.  Every album has a release date and it's part of the data that is always associated with  that album.   Why did Apple look at the data available for an album and consciously decide to truncate it?
    What kind of music lover isn't aware of when albums are released?  I just don't get it.
    I like having the date yyyymmdd in front of each album.   It isn't pretty but it means the albums are chronological.   If you want, you could just put this in the sort field and leave the regular album title in the regular field.   Then the names would be right and they would sort correctly.   But again.  Why should we have to do all that? 
    Apple is busy constantly changing where the controls are on I tunes  rather than fixing something simple and important like this.
    Today I wanted to load some songs onto my ipod touch and it took me 10 minutes to figure out how to sync because the last itunes update got rid of the side bar.  
    How are you supposed to get comfortable using a product when they keep moving the controls around?   Just quit apple.   leave the controls where they are.  Add new controls if needed but stop moving them.  I know I'm ranting now but I am honestly angry and frustrated,

  • Where to find the release dates for Universal software

    Can anyone point me in the direction of where I can get info on release dates of the Universal binary software and games.
    Also would Rosetta really slow up a game like The Sims2 or would I not notice?

    Donnchaidh,
    Have a look here for some information on Universal Binary games.

  • The current iTunes 10.5 upgrade does not install on Windows 7 and indicates a faulty install package (error 2324). Advice or details on the release date for a proper fix?

    The current iTunes 10.5 upgrade does not install on Windows 7 and indicates a faulty install package (error 2324). Advice or details on the release date for a proper fix? I'm not able to roll back to the prior version, so I'm stuck in limbo.

    There have been a number of problems with installing the latest iTunes on Windows 7 64-bit machines during the last couple of weeks.  You might want to do a search on that topic and see if anyone has a solution.  There have been various versions of the problem but a lot related to errors in the download package or failure to download.

  • Software and games for mac os 9.1

    i been Google searching software and games for mac os 9.1 but i cant find software and games for mac os 9.1? dose anyone know a website to get software and games for mac os 9 only
    thinks mac os x 10.2.8 :]

    You might check the computer software section at a local Half-Price Books store, sometimes they have some new in-box Mac OS 9 software.
    Some kid games that I used to have were Freddi Fish, Pajama Sam, and the Backyard Sports series from Humongous Entertainment, they run pretty well on an old G3.
    Pangea had a demo version of Nanosaur:

    Freeverse has a link to the original version of Wingnuts that should work in OS 9 on this page

  • IMac G3 still ok for educational software and games ?

    I'm planning to buy an iMac G3 (around 500Mhz or better with DVD-ROM) for the kids. I just don't want them to be using my iMac G5 to run educational software and games. My kids are nearly 3 years old so I'm talking about very simple stuff here. But I was wondering : is an iMac G3 still enough to run those kind of things ? I found one, a Snow 500Mhz DVSE with DVD-drive and 640Mb of RAM and a 30Gb HD for €100 (must be about $140) in mint condition. But it's still a G3. I know there's a huge amount of educational software and games out there which can be bought for a few euros/dollars and that software will run efforlessly on a G3. But wouldn't I be better off spending a bit more on a G4 eMac (that would actually be around €300-$440), but then again, why spend that much money on a "play" computer for kids who are likely to bash the screen and keyboard now and again...
    Your opinions please...

    Hey Rincewind,
    Kinichi makes a good point about the durability of the G3s. However I've got 8 in my basement and 30 or so out on donation and my kids and parents have 3. These were all picked up used at garage sales or donated and many have been running for over 5 years now.
    That said I'm used to paying less than $40 each for them. Often people give them to me for donation.
    I run 9.2.2 in all the one's that go to kindergarten kids with software like:
    Kid Pix Studio Deluxe including the latest 4
    Memory Fun
    Alphabet Express CD
    Arthur's Birthday
    Curious George ABC.
    Tortoise & Hare
    TT2.
    DLCS - Kindergarten
    Carnival Countdown
    Pocahontas
    Zoombini
    All the Living Books series.
    note-I run SMIs of all these so you don't need the CD to run the program.

  • Release Dates for JDK versions

    Gettting back into the tech world after a hiatus. Trying to figure out how much catching up I have to do. I'm trying to figure out the release dates for the various JDK's so I can pick up on where I left off - it was somewhere between 1.2 and 1.4 I'm sure. The release notes and so on are very inconsistent about listing release dates. Any help out there on where to look?
    Brian

    Bri,
    Suggest you just download 1.6 and take a quick run through the tutorials http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/ to pickup the basics again... you'll probably need a bit of a refresher course anyway if you're going back into coding for a living.
    But what you've really missed is the standard hugemungious leaps in the open source libraries over the past few years.
    I don't think the release notes are really worth reading, unless you're being paid to do it of course.

  • Updated Release Date For Release 2 Running on AIX

    Could you please update me as to the release date for version 2 of the Application Server running on AIX.
    Thank you,
    Tom

    Doh! I never thought of checking my order status :P
    But, seriously, May 31 seems like a place holder. If it were May 31, they'd post that when you purchase the software in the Apple Store instead of simply saying May.
    Maybe I'm wrong, obviously :P Anywho, I guess I was hoping for it to come sooner and not technically May, but actually June.

  • Release date for next version of Forms?

    Has anyone heard of a release date for the next version of Forms (10.1.2.0.2 or whatever it will be)? I may be starting a major Forms project shortly and I'd like to use the most current version of Forms with the current Application Server.

    We are looking at mid summer this year. Depending on your start times it may be as well starting on 10g (9.0.4) as there is a long support cycle for it.

  • Release date for new updates

    I'm super excited about the new features, especially the integration of C4D and AE, and adding looks in Premiere. I've looked for information about release dates but can't find any details. What's the release date for the new features?

    No official date yet but based on past releases it will likely be in the next month or two.
