So, I just want to know where can i find a solution about this problem and who can autorize me to give the Apple][ and disk II rom with my emulator

If you still want to pursue this, the correct contact would probably be:
Apple, Inc.
Software Licensing Dept
12545 Riata Vista Circle, MS: 198-3SWL
Austin, TX 78727
Phone: (512) 674-2645
email: [email protected]
but to the best of my knowledge, Apple has never licensed the Apple II ROMs to anyone, so it's unlikely they'll grant you permission. All of the other Apple II emulators I know of require the user to get their own ROM image.

  • Strange behaviors on MacBook Pro before & after installing SL & new battery

    I have also posted this question in the Snow Leopard forum as I am not sure where it belongs. We have a MacBook Pro that up until recently had been running Tiger. A problem developed whereby we could not access the iTunes store. A message that the store was "not available at this time" came up repeatedly while at the same time another computer was able to make connections with it. In addition, when Firefox was opened, a prompt appeared to drag the Firefox icon to the applications folder. Even after this was done, the same prompt would appear during subsequent sessions.
    We updated the OS to Snow Leopard, and the iTunes store problem was resolved. However, there are some other unusual things going on with other applications.
    1. When Photobooth is opened, we get this message: "There is no connected camera."
    2. When we open any of the Office applications, we are greeted with: "To open Microsoft Word (or Excel, PowerPoint, etc.), you need to install Rosetta."
    3. The above-described issue with Firefox still occurs frequently. Even though Firefox is located in the Applications folder, there is now a volume named Firefox on the desktop. We can't get rid of it.
    We don't know for sure if the Photobooth and Office issues were present right before the Snow Leopard installation, but they had worked properly in the past.
    One thing we did do is a verify and repair of permissions. There were MANY that needed to be repaired.
    In addition, right around the time SL was installed, the computer was frequently shutting off without warning. The mouse was also operating erratically. It was found that the battery needed to be replaced, as the existing one was expanding and was actually disrupting the operation of the mouse pad. Could this battery have been the source of these problems?
    What are the next steps we should take?

    I can deal with parts of this.
    2. When we open any of the Office applications, we are greeted with: "To open Microsoft Word (or Excel, PowerPoint, etc.), you need to install Rosetta."
    Snow Leo is very aware of apps that are not coded for Intel processors. This message suggests you have Office 2004 or older. Intel coding did not come to Office Mac until version 2008. Rosetta is an Apple emulation technology that lets apps coded for older PowerPC processors work on Macs with Intel processors. Most emulators do not give the performance of a program running natively.
    You can either upgrade Office to the previous version 2008, buy a current Office 2011, or deal with the vagaries of emulation. Many people reported that Office 2004 had problems, particularly with keyboard input, when used on an Intel Mac.
    NOTE: If you rely on Entourage for a mail client, Office 2011 has dropped Entourage. The business version comes with a new version of Outlook for Mac that replaces Entourage but the Home/student edition does not. If you go for Office 2011 and want to stay with mail features similar to Entourage, you'll have to get the higher-priced version.
    One thing we did do is a verify and repair of permissions. There were MANY that needed to be repaired.
    I would do it again because some of the things you describe sound like permissions issues. Sometimes, updates can install something that changes permissions. You should be using the version of Disk Utility on your hard drive, not the install disk, to insure the settings in your user folder are properly repaired.

  • ExpressCard/34 not working in BootCamp Windows 7 64-bit. Apple's BIOS emulation does not give enough resources.

    MacBook Pro unibody, 15" 2009
    ExpressCard/34 (Card is by Transcend TS-RDF1, JMicron chip for SD card) is not working in BootCamp Windows 7 64-bit. Windows reports:
    "This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. (Code 12)
    If you want to use this device, you will need to disable one of the other devices on this system."
    Other data points: Card works fine in Mac OSX, worked under Windows XP 32-bit (initially reported same problem, but works after reboot).
    Checking the forums there seems to be no actual device suggested to actually remove that would help the problem. And even if it was, the concept is ridiculous. What other device would you like to remove? Display adapter? Network adapter? No way. I use all available devices and don't want to compromise.
    It seems like BIOS emulation does not allocate enough resources to ExpressCard.
    Are others having the same problem?
    Does anyone have a fix for this?
    Is there anyone at Apple who cares to provide a solution?

    It is not a driver problem, but a problem in the BIOS emulated by bootcamp on some (not all) MBP models. So unless Apple fixes it in bootcamp, there is no real solution. And obviously, Apple doesn't care. They are dropping the Expresscard slot anyway.
    Unfortunately, this poster seems right: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=912259 :
    The 2008/2009 Macbook Pros don't allow to use the ExpressCard slot because of EFI/Bootcamp errors (Windows Vista/7 cannot allocate an IRQ to the slot). You don't need any drivers for using an ExpressCard slot on Windows, you only need the drivers for the corresponding card you are using.
    Bootcamped XP allowed to use the slot, but you could not use hot-plugging.
    And from the Sonnet site ( http://www.sonnettech.com/product/tempo_sata_express34.html ) :
    Tempo SATA ExpressCard/34 not supported under Windows 7 or Windows Vista when running on unibody MacBook Pro computers. The problem is caused by the MacBook Pro's BIOS emulation, which doesn't allocate enough resources to support certain kinds of Expresscard/34 devices, such as a SATA controller, in these operating systems.

  • How to install Apple's Rosetta emulation software?

    Sigma Chess is a legacy PowerPC application and therefore needs Apple’s Rosetta emulation software in order to run on Intel based Macs. This is pre- installed on Mac OS X 10.5 and earlier, but must be installed manually on the new Mac OS X 10.6. Please guide me

  • What is the best Apple IIGS emulator for Max OS X?

    I'm currently using Bernie ][ the Rescue, which is the best I've seen. But it is only available for OS 9, which I run through Classic on my G5. However, once I upgrade to Leopard, I will not have Classic anymore. I've tried KEGS but it seems very mediocre. Any suggestions?

    There aren't too many alternatives. There is Sweet16 which claims to be evolved from Bernie, and it is compatible with OS X up through Tiger. It may work with Leopard.
    There is Virtual ][, but I don't know if it emulates the IIGS although it says it emulates other II models.
    You will find these at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

  • How can we convince Apple to bring back AppleWorks?

    I've been using OS 10.7 for a year and a half, and can only run AppleWorks on my old machine - once it gives up the ghost, I won't be able to use it at all. Numbers and Pages are adequate, but they don't have the ease of use and the flexibility of AppleWorks. Ditto for EZDraw (whose text function *****). AppleWorks is lean, efficient, multifaceted, and easy to use - for my money, it's one of the best apps that Apple has ever produced. I'd sure love to see it developed for 10.7 and beyond...

    Roger: since we spoke last the Apple Store has started selling Snow Leopard Server at a 95% reduction in price - $19.99 + sales tax & shipping!  This allows for much easier installation into Parallels and VMWare Fusion (and some say VirtualBox, too) than originally described in my linked thread.
    So, as noted in the first paragraph at that linked thread, you can obtain SLS from the Apple Store: 1.800.MYAPPLE (1.800.692.7753) - Apple Part Number: MC588Z/A (telephone orders only).

  • How to use the Google Android Emulator in Flash Builder on Windows 7?

    I want to try out Flash Builder to create an app, but I cannot find out how to use the Google Android Emulator in Flash Builder. The simulators in Flash Builder work, and the android emulator is installed correctly and can run. I just can't seem to connect them. How do I do that?

    Hi Pahup,
    Thank you for your reply!!
    I adapted an Android App using Flash CC on a Mac. I already published this App for the Apple App Store. When I published the App for Android I chose Air 3.7.xxx for Android. I also created the p12 certificate using Flash CC in the publishing settigns for Android. So my App is theoretically finished and ready for Upload.
    When I went to the Google Play Store Developer Console I had the options to
    1.) Upload APK
    or
    2.) Prepare Store Entry
    ...so I prepared the Store entry first. When I go to "APK"-Tab in the console it looks like this:
    ... it says "Upload APK" and the Button below "Get Licence Key". When I click on the license Key Button it looks like this:
    So I think I should enter this RSA-Key somehow into my App BEFORE uploading it to the Google Play Store. This is recommended when an Ap is set to be paid. My Application is set to paid.
    I did not use any kind of licensing API (until now - cause I don´t know how and what it is for)
    This is all new to me. It is the first App I want to bringt to the Android market. I really hoped it would be as easy as getting an app into the Apple App Store. I found so many step by step instructions for dummies on "How to get an Flash iOS App into the App Store plus creating all the certificates needed", so I thought it would be the same for Android. But there is no help at all at the moment. I am totally confused.
    So any help, hint or instrusction would be great!!
    By the way - this is the App I want to get into the Google Play Store

  • Sound effects no longer play in Rosetta emulation games

    While sorting out the data transferred from my recently deceased Powerbook G4 17", I accidently started up Audacity 1.2.3 which is a Power PC only version. It only partially loaded with its icon in the Dock but nothing else. I had to force quit the program to get rid of it and then deleted it. When my teenage son went to play his suite of PPC games such as Age of Empires 2 and StarWars after that, the game sound effects no longer worked. The background music still plays, but all the player responsive sound effects will not play, even though the settings to play them are correct.
    I am wondering if the opening up and crashing of the Power PC Audacity may have stuffed up something in the Rosetta emulation system software relating to the sound output of emulated games. Before I consider doing a full backup and reinstall, does anyone who is a regular gamer playing PPC games on a Macbook Pro have any ideas on how to fix this problem. I was wondering if the Rosetta component of OSX can be replaced from a working system or if it is totally integrated into the Mac OS unlike Classic was.
    All advice appreciated!

    +I tried to set "Problem solved" but got an error so will try again later.+

  • Can I use my Mac OS 9 emulator (classic mode) with OS 10.5 Leopard?

    Hello,
    This was the closest forum I could find to ask this question so please forgive me if it's not categorized properly.
    I'm currently running OS 10.4 Tiger on my Mac and my OS 9 emulator works great. I've heard rumors that if I upgrade to OS 10.5 Leopard I can no longer use the OS 9 emulator and/or it will be eliminated all together. Can anyone clarify this for me?
    I still use quite a few OS 9 applications, much less some older games which I really enjoy and do not want to lose the use of 'classic mode'. I would actually reconsider upgrading if I were to lose the use of it.
    I've heard there's a workaround by using SheepShaver, but I've read a lot of mixed reviews on it so I'm hesitant to go that route should I decide to upgrade since everything is working so well with my current configuration. I'd like to take advantage of the new features in Leopard, but I don't think it's worth the sacrifice if I lose 'classic mode' by upgrading.
    Any information/clarification would be much appreciated. Thank you.

    Hi, lancisti -
    Welcome to Apple's Discussions.
    First, a point of clarification - OS 9 used as Classic is not an emulator program. SheepShaver is an emulator, but Classic is not. When OS 9 is used as an Operating System, it is referred to as OS 9; when used as a program under OSX to provide an environment in which many OS 9 programs can be run, it is referred to as Classic.
    Unfortunately, Leopard (OSX 10.5) does not support OS 9 in any form, including Classic. There is no workaround supported by Apple for this.
    As far as non-Apple workarounds go, SheepShaver is one approach, as you are aware. And, as you note, whether it works well, at all, or not seems a bit whimsical based on some users' reports. This may have something to do with SheepShaver not yet being ready for Leopard - that's purely a guess on my part.
    Another solution would be to partition your hard drive, or add a second one, so that you can have a volume dedicated to OSX 10.4.x, which does support Classic and would allow you to continue using it. Or, since your machine is OS 9 bootable (using the model-specific version of OS 9.2.2 that came with it, and is installable from the machine's original disk set), set that additional volume up as an OS 9 boot volume.

  • Considering switching to Apple Pro from Windows PC, but have questions.

    Repost from the MacbookPro forums (erroneously posted it there first).
    Hi all,
    I'm currently a Vista PC user who has a long time history in PC usage. I'm an old timer who even used the very first PCs, among which were Tandy TRS80, Commodore, Synclair, PCM, etc. I'm very familiar with lots of different OSs due to my IT background (was a system's admin and a programmer for quite some years), so I know my way around in different systems (IBM, HP-Unix, Linux, etc.).
    Needless to say, I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty when needed and am one of those computer users who likes to do things himself, just because I rarely trust the tech guy from the store, who I usually end up explaining how systems work instead of the other way around.
    Now I know nothing about Macs. Only dealt with them in one company where I didn't have to work with them at all. So I'm completely new to this matter.
    I'm considering a Mac mainly because I'm tired of the whole Windows scene and because Linux is not mature enough yet and lacks Windows compatibility. So a Mac would be a logical next step. Plus I refuse to pay another $500 for an operating system that never left its beta stage. Anyway....
    Here are the things that I am wondering about but haven't been able to find clear information about:
    1) If I were to buy a Mac Pro, can I upgrade/change it to my hearts content? Or am I limited to Mac hardware only? Let's say I want to upgrade the processor and maybe I want to put a different (read better) cooling fan and body in there, can I do that?
    2) Is PC hardware compatible with the Mac? With that I don't just mean printers and monitors, but also HDDs, video cards, sound cards, etc.
    3) For those of you who made the switch recently, is it an improvement in your experience over Vista/XP? And why?
    4) How well does Windows software run on a Mac? Can I just run any type of Windows software on the Mac if I want to?
    5) I'm a big MMO fan, so play one at any given time as a hobby. Do these kind of games run well in a Windows emulated environment on a Mac (provided a Mac version doesn't exist)?
    6) I'm reading in the forums that new models might be announced soon. Is there any place where I can find information on that?
    That is about what I had in mind after having browsed a bit and read the forums here.
    Thanks in advance for any replies. I have to admit that the costs of a Mac system are what are holding me back still. But my current system is going to need replacement in the next 6 months or so, and building a new one from scratch is probably going to cost me almost as much as a brand new medium range Mac Pro. Hence the reason I'm considering making the switch.
    I'm looking forward to your ideas and experiences.
    Marc

    1) If I were to buy a Mac Pro, can I upgrade/change it to my hearts content? Or am I limited to Mac hardware only? Let's say I want to upgrade the processor and maybe I want to put a different (read better) cooling fan and body in there, can I do that?
    You are able to change RAM, HDDs and PCI Hardware (must be Apple Versions most the time (eg. graphics) afaik). Everything else will propably void your warrenty (don't know about optical devices...
    But you will propably not not want to change the fans oder body as the Mac Pro is extremly well engineered. You will notice that after changing the harddrives and compare that to a standard PC procedure.
    2) Is PC hardware compatible with the Mac? With that I don't just mean printers and monitors, but also HDDs, video cards, sound cards, etc.
    As stated above, all the internal stuff will not be so easy (as Video cards, sound cards ...) (except RAM and HDDs). External Hardware like Printers, Monitors, etc. will propably work ootb without even thinking about installing drivers. Some though need some (e.g. Logitech mice) for full functionality.
    3) For those of you who made the switch recently, is it an improvement in your experience over Vista/XP? And why?
    I switched about a year ago to a Mac Pro having quite a similar background (IT) as you. And I didn't regret it. The OS is just like it should be and in 99% of times the slogan "it just works" really is true. (My "wow" moment was syncing my mobile with iSync and Bluetooth wich took me (alone for the bluetooth installation) about 2 days in Windows))
    I think Mac OS is - especially if you have an IT background - the better choice over Windows because of its rock solid unix foundation and well-thought-through-ness . At first it was a little bit as if I was in a cage as I didn't know how to do some things but knew how I would do it on Windows but after a (very litte) while I just relaxed and everything now works for me. It sometimes even a bit boring as things just work out as they should and you don't spend hours of setting up the system.
    4) How well does Windows software run on a Mac? Can I just run any type of Windows software on the Mac if I want to?
    In Boot Camp yes. It makes your Mac an ordinary Windows PC. There is also virtualization software that make you able to run windows and mac apps side by side but there will be much slower performance and no usage of all 8 cores the mac pro has and 3d wont run well too. But nice if you lets say have one piece of software that has no mac equivalent and you just want do use it quickly without rebooting (wich is needed for Boot Camp).
    5) I'm a big MMO fan, so play one at any given time as a hobby. Do these kind of games run well in a Windows emulated environment on a Mac (provided a Mac version doesn't exist)?
    Emulated they wont work well I guess but in Boot Camp no problem. I myself played Wow for quite some time (in mac os with great performance) and now play Warhammer in Boot Camp with all settings maxed out 1920x1200 even on 2 gb of ram no problem at all.
    6) I'm reading in the forums that new models might be announced soon. Is there any place where I can find information on that?
    No. If Apple didn't announce them its all rumors. Macrumors.com though has a "buyers guide" where you can see how long the hardware has been without updates which is a good indicator for updates.

  • Unable to specify username password for emulator sessions on MAC OS 10.5.2

    We have a strange issue at one of our customers. When the want to start an emulator session the login dialog box does not accept keystrokes when started from a MAC-client with MAC OS 10.5.2 (X11 version 2.1.1). People cannot enter their credentials after clicking on the Desktop icon.
    They can though select the fields with the mouse.

    I am retired.  In my active years, I purchased Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Standard and Dreamweaver CS5 for my Windows environment.  I recently spent a fortune to migrate to  Apple.  I now (and a bite late) realize that my licenses are not recognized by Adobe. I am desperate. I cannot afford the expense of buying or paying access to the software and, still,  I need the tools for all those little things I do for enjoyment. What can be done?

    The licenses are operating system specific, so one option would be to retain use of the Windows machine you had before the Mac.
    If you want to try to use the older stuff on your new Mac you can try installing Windows emulation software such as Bootcamp.

  • Apple TV 3 refuses to AirPlay video (mirroring & music is OK)

    Brand new Airport Express, Apple-recommended config, config screens are here
         https://www.dropbox.com/sh/gqluxccdolmdx7y/AACmx4NVwZIVB8EobGu9ZYK1a
    We use AirServer.app which emulates AirPlay on both MBP and MacPro. Airplay from all of our devices works correctly sending video/audio via Airplay to AirServer.
    ATV SYMPTOMS:
    Music plays on ATV via AirPlay, Mirroring is OK, but NOT video. Any video sent to ATV causes spinner on ATV screen until a long timeout (5 min?) when ATV switches back to eg. Network screen. Every device sends AirPlay video OK to AirServer emulator, but none send to ATV -> always just get the SPINNER.
    TEST LOG:
    ** Airplay from MBP to ATV
    -- recognizes ATV as Airplay device
    -- iTunes music OK
    -- iTunes video 2m30s -> SPINNER on ATV screen, then ATV switches back to Network settings
    ** Airplay from iPad Air to ATV
    -- mirrors OK (so long as do NOT try to play video)
    -- Videos.app
              -- plays fine to Airserver.app on MBP, switch AirPlay to ATV then
              -- iPad displays "This video is playing on Apple TV" --> SPINNER on ATV
    -- Watchlater.app plays "Designed by Apple - By Intention" video in mirror mode
              -- turn off mirroring
              -- iPad displays "This video is playing on Apple TV" --> SPINNER on ATV
    -- MXTube.app - in mirroring mode - everything looks OK, until video playback started, then SPINNER on ATV screen (Note: Airplay icon has turned red in the app)
    Advice would sure be appreciated!

    I would aks this to the makers of airserver http://support.airserver.com

  • Videos won't play in JavaFX app running on mobile emulator

    Tried a lot of file types: on2 vp6f's flv, avi, flv, mpg4, wmv - doesn't play on the mobile emulator.
    It's weird since on2 vp6f is the video format supported by JavaFX.
    Odd thing is, when run with standard execution, the video plays.
    Oh and I'm using Netbeans 6.8 w/ JavaFX 1.2 SDK, KLite Codec Pack.
    Anyone here knows why?

    Me too - iMovie video, uploaded to My Gallery, accessed via Safari 4.0 on my MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard, is displayed on the screen with the Apple equivalent of the Microsoft spinning hour-glass (you know, the clockwise tick thing) with a question mark sat in the middle of it all. And the video completely refuses to play.
    I know it's a Safari problem because the video plays fine when I use Firefox. I have even tried uninstalling Safari (drag and drop to the Trash) and then reinstalling. I've got to the point where I'm thinking of dropping Safari altogether, even if it does have nice MobileMe sync settings...
    Come on Apple, what's the craic here?
