Apple LaserWriter utility that only works on OS 9 - now what?

10.5 will not allow OS 9 run even if is in a classic partition.
What about those of us that are still using Apple Laserwriters and no utility was ever made for it under OS 10? Had to keep OS 9 for that utility. There are times I still need to use the utility to change printer features.
First Apple don't give access to an Apple printer under OS X and now they break the only path available under OS 9.
Any suggestions? (No, buying a new Postscript laser printer is not an option!)

Hi, Derryl. Repost your question in the Printing in Leopard forum, where you may find someone who has a more elegant workaround for you.
The only one that occurs to me is to create a partition on your hard drive containing a bootable OS X 10.3.x or 10.4.x with Classic support installed, and boot to that partition whenever you need to tweak the Printer Utility.

    Try getting the free "Preference Manger" applicaiton from Digital Rebellion (dot com).  Use it to trash the FCP X preference files.  See if that helps.
    Also, on the new Mac, go into the App Store, under the Store menu, make sure you are signed in.

    I could do that, however when I select the icloud button (or whatever the heck it is) I am asked to enter the apple id and password. So if you are suppose to create another one for icloud you'd think it would give you the option at this point which would be logical.

    I have a bluetooth headset that only works in phone feature but not in itunes or apps on my iphone, please help.
    It works fine through my macbook, can't find anything in settings on iphone to resolve problem

    The headset has to have A2DP capability, which most (I believe) do not.

  • TS1538 Followed troubleshooting for iPhone not found in devices iTunes and that did not work...  Now what?

    Followed troubleshooting for "iPhone not found in devices" iTunes and that did not work...  Now what?

    That's what I tried. The 6 steps and I do not have security software on my phone. iTunes on my Mac is still giving me the warning that I need to download the latest version on my phone, and is not recognizing it in devices, which is the irony because that's what I need to actually update it

  • I have two screens on my Apple Mac and could extend work across both. Now updated to Mavericks and cannot do this. What can be done to restore my original functionality?

    I have two screens on my Apple Mac and could extend work across both. Now updated to Mavericks and this no longer works. How could I restore the previous functionality? Is somethong wrong?

    Hi Eustace.
    Thanks for replying to my problem. After posting I noted the "More Like This" box on the right of the screen. The top topic was "Restore old dual screen functionality" and turned out to be the the same question with a surprising answer - in the "Mission Control" dialogue, NOT the "Displays" dialogue. There are five tick boxes at the top of the Mission Control screen and the last of them is "Displays have separate spaces" and this box was ticked through the loading of the Mavericks op. system (presumably). Unticking this box, as advised, restored the 'extended' mode and all is now well.

  • I re-installed Mountain Lion from a USB stick, and now my Apps can't be downloaded.  The App store indicates that the Apps are already installed, but that is not the case. Now what :)

    I re-installed Mountain Lion from scratch of a USB stick, and now my Apps in the App store ca not be installed, the App store indicates that they are already installed, but that is not the case.  Now what?

    Ok, this is somewhat of a better work around I've found:
    Starting in the Australian iTunes store, I go through the process of signing into the UK iTunes store up until the point it asks for my credit card information.
    I then click the 'X' in the top left of iTunes to exit the store.
    Now when I click on my Apps Updates button it shows me what UK Apps I have that are available to update.
    You can't download these as at this point I've changed the store I'm viewing, but haven't officially switched accounts. Not to worry.
    I write down the names of the UK Apps to update.
    Then, use the 'search store' field in the top right of iTunes to search for one of the Apps.
    Once you've found it, click to buy it / download it.
    iTunes recognises that the App is already in your account and downloads it again for free….
    … now I'm HOPING that that App is now fully within my Australian account… unfortunately only time will tell once there is a new update for it.
    I'll let you know.

  • I have an apple id. that only works with the German store. But I am English speaking only...what should I do?

    I have an apple id. but that always takes me to the German store, I live in Berlin. But I am English speaking only...what should I do?

    Learn German?
    You can only use the Store for the country in which you reside.  I have never looked at the German store so I don't know what it offers.  It is possible there is limited Eglish offerings but Apple is basically limited by what the distributors will present to them, and probably by what will actually sell.

  • Apple Loop Utility doesn't work

    Hi everyone,
    I've been a GarageBand user for a while now and have been able to create custom loops with the Apple Loop Utility/Soundrack Loop Utility. The main problem is, that the version that I have (was using version 1.1, then downloaded version 1.3.1) won't work on my computer now, yet it did previously. When I try to launch the loop utility, a message pops up saying that 'Apple loop utility has quit unexpectedly. Click reopen to relaunch the application again.' So I did, and it still won't launch.
    At that time I was using MacOS X 10.5.3, and now have recently upgraded to MacOS X 10.6.3. Is the program not compatible with Snow Leopard or intel Macs?
    Thanks
    Jamie

    Well, I have never used version 1.3.1... (seems to be fairly old, regarding the number ?)
    The download from the Apple Developer Website should be version 3.0.1...?
    (have you tried that one...?)
    http://connect.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MemberSite.woa/wa/downloads
    As far as I know, only version 1.4 should work natively with Intel Macs...?

  • Using a plugin that only works with CS3 (how to downgrade CS4 to CS3)

    I work for a company that sells HP Indigo Presses
    HP have produced a plugin called Smartstream Designer which is used to create varible data jobs for the press
    Unfortunately at the moment, this plugin only works with Indesign CS3
    I have a number of customers who have recently purchased new Apple macintosh computers and the latest version of Indesign (ie CS4)
    (1) Is there any way for them to downgrade their copy of Indesign so they can use this plugin
    At some time in the future the plugin will be updated to work with CS4 and when that happens they will need to upgrade
    (2) will there be any problem performing this upgrade at a later date?
    thanks for your help

    The only way to downgrade would be to find a CS3 license on the open market, an iffy proposition as authorized resellers no longer have older versions available. The CS4 license would still be fine in the future.
