Anybody running LP 9 on a non Intel machine?

I just saw that the requirements for LP9 include needing an Intel based machine.
Has anybody tried installing LP9 on a PowerMac Quad (pre Intel)? Will it even let you? Just curious.
I overlooked that small requirement, and now that I have the upgrade I think I'm gonna need to buy an Intel machine. That's an expensive conversion!!!!
Thanks

I still love this G5, L9 runs fine on it, I mainly do audio so there's no problems here. Have a couple of sample libraries, East/West Gold... nothing too extravagant. I still enjoy recording people playing instruments or singing.
Minimum system requirement is 10.5.7, however... Apple will only support their app on the OS available when the application was released. As others have found out... using Pacifist, Logic 9 can be installed on any version of Leopard, maybe even 10.4.11... I don't think anyone has tried.
So, if you have a perfectly stable 10.5.5 system, you have to upgrade, even though it's not really necessary, it's for Apple's support convenience, not the users.

Most recent Photoshop Elements version that will run well on G4 PowerMac (non-Intel) and Tiger?

Good afternoon.
I am wondering if it is wise to try to get a "OK" version that will run on a G4 MDD, or just take the plunge and go to an Intel machine.
I don't that the sound of that thought.....but it may be the new reality.
Thanks for your time.

Depends how much work you do with it it, but a Mac Mini even will run circles around the fastest G4.

Snow install on a non Intel machine

If I'm upgrading a G4 from Tiger, can I only go as far as Leopard, or will Snow even allow itself to install PPC compatible items, or just give a non Intel install error?

Hi-
If I'm upgrading a G4 from Tiger, can I only go as far as Leopard,
OS X 10.5x is as far as PPC Macs go.
Snow Leopard is not installable in PPC machines.

Drag and drop doesn't work on non-intel machines

It may be just me but Pages on my Macbook Pro allows me to drag and drop. The same document on my work G5 doesn't have this functionality. Both machines run 10.4.10 though the G5 doesn't have all the latest updates (corporate firewall issues)
I am assuming its the different processor but would be interested to know of others experience.

I drag & drop in Pages, Numbers, AppleWorks, etc. on both my G5 tower & my MacBook Pro all the time, no problems. There is a trick, though. You do need to click & then wait a half-second or so before dragging.

Syncing with a non Intel Mac?

I have a new iMac that is running OS Lion.
I have an old machine that is non intel and cant run Lion.
I used to be able to sync calendars between my older non intel machines using Mobile me.
Now that I have updated my Mobile me account to iCloud, it looks like my new machine on iCloud is not syncing calendars at all with the non Intel machine.
Is there any way to keep the older machine in the loop with the syncing?

iCloud on a Mac requires Lion 10.7.2. All OSX before can't use iCloud syncing.
All you can do on non supported systems is using a modern browser to visit www.icloud.com for calendar,Adresses and Mail.

Old school, has anyone here been able to install and run Logic Pro 9.1 on a dual 1.8 G5 PPC? I know LP9 is not officialy supported on non Intel CPUs, But 9.0.0 and 9. 02 are ok on the G5 PPC as it is universal Binary, while I hear 9.1 wont work

ok thanks, that's what I tought,looks like apple machines are only good for two - three years, the software developers are ahead of the hardware to a certain point, love macs but this is forcing us to buy new macs just to keep up with development. There was a time it was the opposite.
By the time we get up on new stuff it's time to change again. Gotta be rich to deal with macs ...LOL

Firefox 4 Does Not Run on Non-Intel G5 iMac

I have a G5 iMac/Power PC/NON-Intel. I keep getting alerts to upgrade to Firefox version 4. Clearly, that's impossible because version 4 doesn't run on a non-Intel G5 iMac. Is Firefox going to leave people like me in the lurch, or is there an update in progress for iMacs that can't support Intel-associated software?

There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox

Re-install of Tiger 10.4.11 non intel now Itunes wont work

Hello all. decided to clean my old imac G5 non intel by reinstalling tiger and now itunes won't go at all. It launched as expected but when you try to go to the itunes stores it states in the status bar 'connecting' but then nothing happens. Have installed the most recent versions up to 8.2 but in each case it wont work.
I'm thinking there must be a config problem somewhere in itunes. Have deautherised then reuatherised and am able to sign in, but still no joy any help appreciated - Jimmy

I don't know the iTunes requirements for using the Store but it would not surprise me at all if iTunes 8 no longer works with the iTunes Store. I know my iTunes 7.5 stopped working with the Store several years ago. I hear they recently changed how the Store appears in iTunes which suggests they did a software change and probably didn't even consider anybody would still be using iTunes 8. Apple is pretty fast off the mark for abandoning support for older platforms and I would be surprised if iTunes 8 continued to work with the Store for this long.
iTunes 9.2.1 (the newest that will run under Tiger but I don't know if even this will still connect to the Store) - http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1056

IS THE SITUATION HOPELESS
I used Target mode to transfer files to a new i7 iMac running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 from an older Dual core Intel machine (EMC 2105) also on 10.6.8. but originally Tiger 10.4. The operation was successful and I ejected the disk icon from the new machine and powered down the old machine. When this was restarted the next day there was a grey screen with flashing Mac symbol alternating with a 'no entry' sign and occasionally a question mark.Keyboard and mouse were unusable so k inserted the original instal disc (No.1 for 10.4. with installer 1.0.4) which came with the machine in 2006 in an attempt to boot from this. The ensuing window said this was not possible and now it cannot be ejected.I have tried everything ! It offers Disk Utility and other options like Terminal but that doesn't work either.I 'repaired disk' and that was pronounced o.k. None of the various keystrokes at start up will work, and the computer will only offer the installer disc continually.The only option would seem to be is to erase the hard drive completely from the disc in the machine.I don't want to do this as there is still material which I need to recover. I think the drive has in some way been corrupted by using it in target mode, and I don't know if there are any other options to try.
Please tell me how to get this disc to eject !

Have you seen this type of problem before? I think it could be a serious issue for anyone in a similar position.
No; but then, I've not had occasion to use TDM. I've been using firerwire drives for over 10 years, both FW400 and FW800, with no issues except a bit of instability using a B&W G3 machine.
TDM should be safe. Using cautious, manual copying of files from the Target machine to the Host machine should not result in unexpected loss of files or damage to the Target drive's directories. It should behave exactly the same as if it were an external (to the Host) firewire drive.
• I don't suppose there is anything I can do to 'put back' lost items from a separate Time Machine drive which has an up to date backup on it.
There is probably a way to do that - seems to me that's one of the reasons for a Time Machine volume.
On the other hand, if the Time Machine volume is rigidly linked to the now-absent OS on the original drive, there may be no way to effectively access the files in the TM archive.
I know that using a cloned drive would work well in this instance.
I have no experience with Time Machine, so perhaps someone who has will chime in with suggestions.
With the machine in TDM with the other machine, have you tried running Disk Utility to see if you can effect repairs to the drive?

Upgraded to ios7, and can't connect to my non-intel computer anymore

I have an iphone 4, and just upgraded to OS 7. I have a non-intel mac which won't run the newest ituens, and now itunes can't connect to my iphone to add music from my computer. Is there any workaround besides buying a new computer (which I can't really afford to do)?

Yeah, turn roaming on. The work wifi issue may be a firewall. Have you checked with your IT department?

Sony HDR-SR11 /AVCHD/NON-INTEL MAC/HELP

I have called both sony and apple tech support and both offered little help today.
I have a Sony HDR-SR11 that I shot some HD content with. The computer registers that the camera is there as an external HDD. Sony's FAQ suggested that I save the AVCHD file to my HDD and it should work....NOPE
I hooked it up to a PC and installed the software it comes with and I was able to view my files but not export them into a normal format.
I have 2 sets of files one set is .m2t and the other is .mts both say they are Unix Executable files..***!
I have a Power MAc G5 running Leopard and Final Cut Pro 6 I ran the software update and it says that as of today 100% up to date yet it says that FCP should be 6.0.2 mine says 6.0
Apple support said that it may not even work on a non-intel Mac.....HELP
anyone get this to work, supposedly Imovie work s with it but the files are grayed out in the menus for imovie so I dunno all I know is I need this footage off the camera ASAP.
Thanks

I came here actually looking for a different solution and not the one I'm about to say... but I will tell you that the new iMovie will import the video straight off the camera (in either 960x540 or 1920x1080). It's not ideal, but it works.
In fact, I'm doing so right now, but I came here hoping there might be news of a new fix so that FCP will import it directly (it will not, log & capture will not do it, just so others are clear on this).
That said, the video off the camera looks very nice. I'm still happy with the camera, even if I do have to do one hoop jump before I can edit.

Sun support for 1.4.0 on non-Intel ???

Hi !
There were some questions and doubts whether Sun would support j2sdk on non-Intel chips sets.
Can someone point me to the press-releases ; rumours ; etc ???

Sun provides jdks for windows, solaris, and linux and I don't think solaris necessarily runs on intel chips. It's up to other vendors to supply jdk ports for their platforms (ie. IBM provides a jdk for AIX).

Which version lightroom for non-intel mac 10.5.8

Which Version of Lightroom works best with a (non-Intel) Mac 10.5.8? Thank You.

There is none that Adobe will sell you. They only supply the most recent version: LR 5, which requires 10.7.5, I think. Sometimes you can get the previous version, i.e. LR 4, on Amazon but sometimes those are just scams, too, so you want to make sure you’re buying from Amazon, themselves, not an Amazon-Marketplace vendor.
To your specific question about what version is compatible with 10.5.8, if you go to the Adobe page for LR Mac updates:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=113 <http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=113&platform=Macintosh> &platform=Macintosh
and click down into the past versions, it appears that LR 3.6 from 12/12/2011, will run on OSX 10.5 but LR 4.x will not, so I don’t think you’ll have much luck with such an old OS.

What version of firefox us used for o/s x non-intel?

I have an iMac with the non-dual core intel processor. When I updated Firefox, it gave me a version of 3.6.8 on o/s x. However, my intel based macs also running o/s x only updated to 3.6.13. Is there a difference version for intel based vs non intel based?

It is important for security to use the latest version of Firefox.
If you have a problem with say a single particular site one unofficial workaround is to install Firefox Portable, as an additional browser that may be used on the problem website. For the day-to-day browsing use Firefox.
*http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable
Using an alternative browser such as IE or Chrome could be considered. That is secure, but does not enable use of Firefox addons.
*What are the extensions you are trying to use ?
** please give: full name and version <br/>homesite
* Have you looked for newer or similar extensions
*Have they got some particular feature you find essential ?

Intel/Non Intel Tiger install mix up on HD replacement

Objective:
On an iMac intel trying to simply swap out an original 250GB internal drive that died with a 1TB and re-instal Tiger.
*Situation Now*:
Booting off the original install disks for this intel iMac, when get to the select destination drive screen, there is no destination drive to select.
Using Utilities>Disk Utilities the drive is listed, but oddly is listed as a 7.3TB drive. Attempting to format the drive returns "A Disk Erase failed with the error: Input/Output Error".
If I start the iMac in target mode and connect it to my non intel PowerBook G4 running 10.4.11 the drive can be formated/partitioned with no problem using Disk Utilities on this machine and works perfectly.
What might be going on here and how do I get this thing going?
Original drive was a Western Digital Caviar Se 250GB and has been replaced with Western Digital Caviar Green (WD10EARS).
History:
When I first started up the iMac with the new drive it started up with the expected question mark folder. I tried to start up using a Tiger installation DVD but it wouldn't start (the reason was I had used the Tiger disk for my non intel PowerBook by mistake). At this point I suspected wrongly that the DVD drive might be suspect and so using the same disks in my PowerBook hooked up to the iMac in Target Mode, saw the drive, formated and installed Tiger. Disconnected and re-started the iMac, which of course wouldn't boot up. At this point I realised I'd used the wrong install disk and there was nothing wrong with the DVD drive in the first place. So now I have the correct install disk and am in the above *Situation Now*

Hi,
First off, you do not want to use a "Green" drive as a boot drive, besides being much slower, they sleep or step down on their own schedule, is it too late to return it?
Also, is the Mac this is going in SATA1 or SATA2, if SATA1 then you need a jumper on pins 5 & 6 to slow it down.
