3rd party app Installation issues with Leopard

I recently purchased a new MacBook Pro with Leopard installed. I have been trying to install (from original media) a number of applications (such as Office:mac 2004) that install and run well on my old G4 running Tiger. On Leopard the installer won't even open the package. I have checked permissions, am in an admin account, etc but nothing seems out of place. I also recognize that these installation packages are pre-Leopard but I can't imagine all my software is now obsolete. Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Doug

Yes I have checked selected applications that I am having issues with. Office:mac 2004 is being used by others on Leopard and Intel based platforms. Not sure if 100% of these users migrated the installation from a prior machine or were upgrading the OS so already had it installed but that is highly unlikely. A demo copy of this even came with my machine. Per advice from other discussion groups this was completely removed prior to trying to install my bought copy of the software. I had believed that Rosetta would allow most (all) apps that ran on a PowerPC under Tiger to work. Since I can't get the installer to even run, I can't tell if the app itself will work.
BTW, I am about to go back and reinstall Leopard to see if that solves the problem.

3rd party app installation on Dev/ QA/Prod

We're installing the Informatica Powerconnect software onto our SAP instance. The way that Informatica do this is to install full program onto Dev environment (allowing developers to create code, deploy, execute). On QA and Production, Informatica install is to install only sufficient product to allow execute of generated code. How standard is this technique? Is anyone else doing it this way or are you installing all product and using security to control the environment?
Thanks for responses.

Such an error message is not known to me and I dont know a program on the recovery disk where you could get such a message.

Is there a 3rd party App to search a networked drive?

We have recently moved from archiving our graphic files on cheap external drives, to a secure server. It's a Unix based server. We can access files just fine, but we can no longer search our files! Is there a 3rd party app for Mac (Snow Leopard, Lion), tat can search networked drives?

I wouldn't recommend wasting any money on an app. If you have a Mac with iPhoto then it should be pretty easy, but if you have a PC, I would recommend creating a folder (Doesn't matter what you name it or where it is) and going to the Photos tab when you're syncing and selecting that folder. Then you'll have to go to "*My Computer*" and drag and drop the photos to that folder you created. Then you can create sub-folders and and organize all your photos. A problem is that your iPhone can only read one level of sub-folders, but that shouldn't affect this task. I hope this helps! If you still can't figure it out, then try going to an *Apple Store* and ask a "Genius" for help.

How to enable iCloud Keychain for 3rd party apps?

I came across iCloud Keychain, which if enabled, lets you backup keychain passwords and restore on other iOS devices. Also read that 3rd party apps can integerate iCloud Keychain to their apps in order to ensure that the app's keychain items are backed up to iCloud Keychain. Would like to know more on what 3rd party apps can do with iCloud keychain.
Even Appls's FAQ says so:
Does iCloud Keychain work with third-party apps? Yes. Developers can update their apps to work with iCloud Keychain. Passwords saved by those apps are then kept up to date on all devices that use the app and running iOS 7.0.3 or later or OS X Mavericks v10.9 or later.
I couldn't really find implementation details. Please help.

If the the data is stored in the backup, it should restore to the iPad when you restore the backup. If that's not happening, sometimes it's becuase the data is stored on the app's server.
SInce you are not having any luck restoring the backup, I would do a Google search such as this one using thses parameters - without the quotes.
"restore candy crush backup progress"
Personally, I do not trust any game that has in app purchases like these games have. It is my paranoid belief that the game developers do not want you to be able to restore your progress.

Backing up 3rd party apps with Time Machine

After what started out as a simple question...why won't my iChat stay connected now that i have installed OS Lion and spending over 2 hours with Apple Phone support and trying all the known trouble shoots, they told me the only thing I can now do is Back Up my MacBook Pro and do a HD erase and reinstall everything. So, this has me a little freaked out! I have never done this and am afraid of the results. In particular, my 3rd party applications such as all my Adobe Suite applications. I no longer have access to the initial start up and install Creative Suite CDs! At first apple support said Time Machine WOULD NOT back up 3rd party apps. Then I get an email and said they were mistaken and it WILL with a link to an article. Yet I see nothing about it with in the article I was sent. SO, has anyone successfully reinstalled their Mac from a Time Machine Backup along with any 3rd party apps?
What is also frustrating is that I asked if I could just go back to Snow Leopard since I had no issues with iChat using that OS. I was told I would have to do the same erasing of my HD either way to reinstall that OS. Ugh.
Thanks in advance!

Yes, as long as you let TM do a full disc backup (that is, you do not exclude anything in the TM backup settings) you will have a backup that allows a full system restore - puts everything back just as it was.
You can also clone your system using the shareware app SuperDuper or the donation-ware app CarbonCopyCloner
http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html
http://www.bombich.com/
Both of these apps will make a true clone (literally, a bit-by-bit copy) of your hard drive onto an external drive. This clone will actually be bootable itself (you plug in the drive and hold the option key during startup then select the clone to boot from). You would boot from the clone, then reverse-clone it back onto your internal hard drive.
If you are really serious about being highly confident of not loosing files, you could use both - I keep a TM backup on one drive, and 2 clones on separate bus-powered hard drives.
P.S. even if you had not had any issues, you really, REALLY should be keeping regular, up to date backups anyway - things go flooey without warning sometimes and you risk loosing everything on your machine if you DON'T keep regular backup copies available.

Many 3rd party apps that I have used before now will not open with the alert "XYZ application cannot be opened because the identity of the developer cannot be confirmed" Why now?

Many 3rd party apps that I have used before now will not open with the alert "XYZ application cannot be opened because the identity of the developer cannot be confirmed" Why now since I updated Mavericks?

The format in which a developer has to sign his application in order for it to be recognized as signed has changed. Update the applications, wherever possible.

3rd party apps crashing with 3.1

I have a 3GS running 3.1, and after updating all 3rd party apps are crashing when I try to launch them. The app's splash screen will load, and then it'll go back to the iphone app screen.
I've tried restoring and that didn't help.
I then tried deleting and redownloading apps, and that didn't help.
Has anyone found a way to fix this?

this is Apple's response:
Dear Corey,
Thank you for contacting the iTunes Store. I understand that your applications are crashing, and have not been able to use it because it quits unexpectedly when you try to open it on your device. I know this is frustrating, and I will try to provide as much information as I can to help you resolve it.
Corey, it's possible that the application became corrupt as it was downloading. Because you purchased the application and the installation was not successful, you may download it again at no charge. I recommend that you delete the application from your device and from iTunes, and then download the application to your computer and sync your device to your computer.
To uninstall the application from your device Corey, tap and hold its icon on the home screen until the icons wiggle. Then tap the "X" next to icon of the application to delete it. To stop the other icons from wiggling, press the Home button.
To delete the application from iTunes, open iTunes and click Applications on the left, then click the icon of the application. Press the Delete key on your keyboard, then click the Remove button, and then click the Move to Trash button.
Now, using your computer, sign in to your iTunes Store account and attempt to purchase the application again. You will be notified that you have already purchased the application and will be allowed to download it again for free. After downloading the application to your computer, sync your device to your computer.
If your computer is not available Corey, you may try purchasing the application again using the App Store on your device.
If the application quits unexpectedly even after you reinstall it, please reply to let me know. I will be happy to assist you further.
Please note that if you download other types of iTunes Store content—such as songs or videos—and find that they are unusable, it’s not possible to simply delete them and download them again. Instead, you must sign in to your account, access your Purchase History, and click the "Report a Problem" button.
Thank you for being an iTunes Store customer Corey. We appreciate your business. We here at the iTunes Store appreciate your business.
I did this with a few apps, and most worked, but a couple still display the same launch/crash symptoms. Also, i have several apps that if I delete them from the phone, I would loose information entered into them, so this solution is fair from ideal. I'm also running Blizzard's Authenticator, which I can't easily remove from my battle.net account without logging in, and I can't log in without the authenticator working.

I recently purchased a 4S. I now have 2 files in my iCloud both with my name. One from my 3gs and one from my 4S. The problem is the data history of all my games and 3rd party apps did not transfer over to my 4S. Is there a way to merge the two in icloud?

I backed up my 3gs to the iCloud and when I synced my 4S, it did not transfer my game histories or my 3rd party app histories. When I look at my iCloud storage, it shows both phones under the same name. Is there a way to merge them together in iCloud? I tried adding the account to my 4S but since they are both named the same, it says I already have that account added! Help!!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Assuming you have finished with your old backup.....
You can see what your iCloud storage is used for and delete any unwanted content at settings > iCloud > backup & storage > manage......

Can I set "open with" for files - associate file types with a 3rd party app

I have PDF file attachments inside my OmniFocus application. When I double-tap them, they get opened in the standard Apple PDF viewer. But I have a better 3rd-party app which opens PDFs and allows me to edit them (mark them up) - I'd like the attachments to open in this app instead of the normal PDF viewer. I don't want to have to switch to the 3rd party app to open it - it's important to me that I can place comments on many, many PDFs inside of OmniFocus. So:
1) is it possible to ask the iPad to have all PDFs to open in this 3rd party app?
2) if not, is it possible to name the attachments some other extension (e.g., .xyz) and tell it to open all .xyz files with the 3rd-party PDF viewer?
thanks in advance,
Mike

just out of curiosity: how did you see this without buying the app - is there some general way to get a trial from the App Store?
When You view the features of the app in the app store, there are pictures of some of the different screens under the main description of the app. I swiped through the pictures and the fourth photo shows a screen - An image in the black box pointing to the image name - roots.jpg. In the window to the right - it says -Action - at the top - in the grey border. I wouldn't have known that the arrow didn't give the same functionality as it does when you open the PDF in Mail. But I was able to see the trash can, the curved arrow and the blue done button on the right. I never heard of the app until we started to posting. Unless the app specifies that there is a free trial period, there is no way that I know to try an app for free.
The thing that I find odd is that you say the arrow is greyed out making that feature unavailable. That arrow icon on the iPad in Safari or Mail is what directs you to the options for - open in, print, email, etc features on the iPad. I assume that arrow must have some functionality somewhere in the app. Not sure why it is greyed out. But I stress, I know nothing about the features of the app or what it is designed to do.

Existing 3rd party apps I own - Will they be updated by the store?

So here's an oddity some folks have already noticed. The MAS (Mac App Store) recognizes installed Apple apps and some 3rd party apps. It seems to be tied to the version number and bundle ID of the app you have installed vs. the one in the store. For example, along with MAS recognizing my installation of iLife and Apple Remote Desktop on my MBA, it also recognized Things (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/things/id407951449?mt=12). It did not, however, recognize Evernote (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/evernote/id406056744?mt=12). In that case, the version number was different and it also looks like autoupdating is pulled from the MAS version in lieu of the MAS' own update process.
So here's the question - if an app like Things is recognized, will it be included as part of the MAS update process?

Got an answer from a post Cabel Sasser made on Panic's blog:
http://www.panic.com/blog/2011/01/panic-on-the-mac-app-store/
Cabel:
UPDATE: The Mac App Store may show software bought from us previously as “Installed”, even though they’re two different licenses. You will not get Mac App Store auto-updates unless you purchase from the Mac App Store. To re-enable the “Purchase” button in the Mac App Store, just drag the app to the trash and empty your trash. Your preferences/sites will not be affected.
I hadn't considered the licensing issues, but it makes sense. So the answer to the original question is a confirmed no.
He also confirmed your theory that the application fingerprinting method is a combination of bundle ID and version number. The bundle identifier for Evernote is unchanged between 2.0 and 2.0.1, so I'm probably right about MAS only recognizing versions of apps which it has distributed.

Airplay on Apple TV not working after upgrading to iOS 8 (3rd Party Apps)

Hi
I hope someone can help me with this issue.
After upgrading the iPhone 5 and iPad 2 to iOS 8.1, as well as upgrading the Apple TV to the latest version, I now end up with ** some ** videos as well as photos that can't be played over AirPlay on 3rd Party Apps. (Note: I have no issues with 'mirroring' from the iPad to the AppleTV though.)
1.   It can play .mp4 and .mov files;
2.   It could NOT play .mkv or .avi files - there's audio but NO video
3.   It can play the photos and videos from Apple's own apps (i.e. 'Videos' and 'Photos') however (i.e. with both audio and video)
4.   It could NOT display any photos from 3rd Party Apps
5.   This is happening to more than one 3rd Party Apps (i.e. no display of photos; and no video though there's audio)
Fyi, I've emailed to the respective Developers, but after reading some of the threads in this forum, I suspect that the root cause could be with iOS 8 (as well as the latest software update to AppleTV) as I didn't have this problem at all under iOS 7.
Anybody has any solution?
Thanks in advance.
Thim Fook, Law
