Can a MaC run these programs

I need these progrmas for work so I was wondering if I can run these programs before i go out and purchase a MacPro...the first one is DocMaster and the next is a file format and its a .PRN file...does mac support these items? hope to hear from anyone soon...would really help me make my decision...
MACbookPro   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

Google is your friend! :-P
There seem to be multiple apps called DocMaster, and they are all Windows-specific:

.prn is a Windows-specific file format for printing purposes, basically what you get when doing a 'print to file' on /Windows. Unlike PostScript (.ps) or PDF it's not cross-platform.

So, no.

  • I am considering purchasing the Mac mini for home studio audio production using Adobe Audition and a USB microphone.  Will the base mini model run these programs?

    I am considering purchasing the Mac mini for home studio audio production using Adobe Audition and a USB microphone.  Will the base mini model run these programs?

    The base mini has 4GB and a 5400 RPM hard drive. It is slow to start up and slow to launch large application such as Word (and I'd assume Adobe Audition) due to the slow drive. I've not used a new 4GB model, just the 8GB model, and the 8GB model (except for the slow drive) handles everything I've thrown at it, including running Photoshop, Word, Safari, and Mail at the same time but there is sometimes a delay switching between programs as the swapfile is updated. Overall I was not happy with the 5400 RPM drive (perhaps because I have MBA and iMac with Fusion drive) so I eventually upgraded it with an SSD. Now the mini is truly a warrior.

  • As of late i have been unable to run fwd email u tube videos my mac tells me i need adobe flash got it still neg = and now my bakn statement is in pdf and mac tells me i need adobe reader got still neg why can't i run these things on safari?

    As of late I am unable to run forwarded videos ie utube ect on safari- my MAC tells me I need adobe flash- got it still neg - now my bank statement is in PDF format and my MACtells me I need adobe reader - got it still neg  WHY CAN'T I RUN THESE THINGS ON SAFARI???

    Hi...
    For videos. Uninstall the current Flash plugin then reinstall new >  Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
    Quit then relaunch Safari. From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
    Try a video.
    All online bank statments are in PDF format.
    Go to  /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    Move the Adobe PDF Browser plugin  (or just PDF Browser plugin) to the Trash.
    Now try a bank statement.

  • GPO Run these programs at user logon not taking effect when configured in Computer Configuration section

    [EDIT 20140207]:
    I found that the default domain policy sets "run these programs at user logon" and (other than I expected) not BOTH GPO settings become active, but the setting from the default domain policy overrides the setting from my new GPO. So I think I have
    found the answer myself.
    When on our W2k8-R2 DC I create a new GPO and configure
    "Computer Configuration/Policies/Windows Settings/Administrative Templates/System/Logon/run these programs at user logon" to "c:\windows\system32\notepad.exe" (just for testing) it won't take effect on Win 7 SP1, no matter what the Security
    Filtering options are.
    It seems other settings (in the very same GPO) become active but "run these programs at user login" from the computer policies section doesn't. I configure the very same setting in the section "user policies" instead and add "Authenticated
    Users" to Security Filtering, the program will be started. But that's not what I need.
    I can reproduce the issue, here are the exact steps:
    create a new group "group-a" for later security filtering
    create a new GPO
    in the new GPO set "Computer Configuration/Policies/Windows Settings/Administrative Templates/System/Logon/run these programs at user logon" to "c:\windows\system32\notepad.exe"
    for setting the scope remove "authenticated users" from Security Filtering and add "group-a" instead
    link the GPO to the domain root
    make "test computer" a member of "group-a"
    on "test computer" run "gpupdate /force", reboot, log in
    Issue: notepad is not being started.
    What I'm aiming for is obvious: Depending on the membership of group-a I want to configure certain programs that should be started whenever a user logs in.
    gpresult /R returns that it would be applying the GPO. (It actually is but the setting "run these programs at user login" is not being applied.)
    For debugging I started MMC / RSoP on one of the machines on which the GPO should have been applied and found that "run these programs at user login" is not set (which seems to be the reason why the GPO won't work on the machines).
    Searching the web I found similar reports
    [1] [2] but no solution was found and the user used a workaround instead.
    If I change the GPO so that I use the very same setting in "user configuration" instead of "computer configuration" it works as long as I add "authenticated users" to the Security Filtering. But then the GPO is applied to all users
    and not only to the ones using computers which are members of group-a. According to this howto [3] I should not remove "authenticated users" but alter the security setting instead. However, the howto seems to be aimed ad w2k3 and using Win2k8 I cannot
    find security settings "apply" for "authenticated users" so I cannot remove that setting, there's only "read" or "read and modify".
    So two questions:
    1. Why doesn't it work when using "computer settings"
    2. What about that Security Filtering with removing "authenticated users" and using group-a instead?

  • Hi I've just upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion now Quarkxpress 6.5, Adobe creative suite CS2, Adobe Acrobat 7.0 professional and Microsoft Office 2004 will nolonger open. Can anyone please advise me what I can do to get these programs running.

    Hi I've just upgraded my MacBook Pro from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion. Now my installed programs:- Quarkxpress 6.5 - Adobe creative suite CS2 - Adobe Acrobat 7.0 professional and Microsoft Office 2004 will not open - I get a banner saying not supported by power mac. Can anyone please help me I really need these programs for my work. Thank you!

    hi tuggerose
    i think it is bad new for you. if it's any consilation i went through the same thing when i loaded mountain lion when it first came out. i think the problem is that mountain lion is a pure 64bit operating system and the software you have is 32bit. earlier os's were able to emulate 32bit but the new system does not. the answer is new software. i did it and it cost me a load of money and much angst so your not alone.

  • Mac OS X workarounds. Can a mac do these things.

    I have been using windows for nearly 10 years, and now that Vista is out, and it *****, I am looking to make the switch. However there is, in my opinion, certain things the a PC can do better than a Mac and now I would like users to comment and suggest "work arounds." I have been using macs for a little while, enough to learn of their strengths and weaknesses.I pose the following:
    1. I work in the web design field, so I am using Dreamweaver and dealing with images constantly. If I am on a Pc and go file>open and within that dialogue box I still have all the functions of windows explorer. I can see how big a file is by right clicking and going properties. I can the file's full path.I can see when it was modified.I can even open that file (say if it is a jpeg) and edit it.
    This is all within the program's open/save/export dialogue box.
    On a Mac, I have no right click within a dialogue box, I can't go "apple I" to see the file properties. The only way I know is to find it in the finder. But this is an another step. I certainly can't right click. This is frustrating.
    2. The other thing regarding this is apple's copying and pasting ability. This is another issue of working with mac's limited program dialogue boxes. If I have used a photoshop action to batch a heap of images, I can cut them on a pc, alt-tab onto dreamweaver, go insert image (cntrl +I), dreamweaver opens to the last images directory and now I can go paste. I can select a photo from the ones I have just copied a there a second ago.
    How do I do that on a Mac? In my past experience you would have to make sure you output your files to the correct directory on Mac in the first place. This is rigid if you are working with Photoshop batches. Then I can go insert image on the Mac. I still have no other option but open a file within that dialogue box.Anything on the Mac's clipboard is ignored while I am in "opening mode."
    Surely there must be switchers out there who can put my mind at ease and tell me if there are workarounds to this. I am trying to track down Mac equivalents to the productivity plugins that I use everyday on my Pc. One is named "Default X" which will replace my pc's Dialogue Box Assistant.
    I look forward to reading people's responses. Thank you.
    Simon Douglas.

    In a Cocoa application (such as TextEdit) in Leopard, the Open dialogue box allows a choice of displaying files as Icons, as line items, or in columns. If you select Columns, then an image such as a jpg or png shows the size (although only as 4KB 8KB etc), the kind, the created date, modified date, last opened, and the dimensions in pixels. Plus there is a More Information box that brings up the usual Inspector (Command I also works).
    I suspect it is more a matter of what Dreamweaver is doing than whether that facility is available in OS X. Since I don't have Dreamweaver, I can't comment on how it manages.
    2. The other thing regarding this is apple's copying and pasting ability.
    I would be looking at Apple's Smart Folders to group items. Apple just seem to be doing things in a different manner. I kept running into trouble when I tried to force things to work the way they did in Windows. This was a particular problem with applications that are basically Windows oriented, so I ended up not using Adobe or Microsoft. On the other hand, I am not a web designer, and hardly use photos on the web at all. So far I haven't found any web application that I feel I could recommend for a web designer.

  • Can my mac running 10.5.8 install 10.6?

    How do I understand whether my Mac running OS X 10.5.8 can upgrade to OS X 10.6? I don't know what the requirements are, and I've looked at them on the internet. All I know is my specs:
    Hardware Overview:
      Model Name:          MacBook Pro 15"
      Model Identifier:          MacBookPro1,1
      Processor Name:          Intel Core Duo
      Processor Speed:          2.16 GHz
      Number Of Processors:          1
      Total Number Of Cores:          2
      Memory:          2 GB
    WILL SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHETHER MY MAC IS CAPABLE OF INSTALLING OS X 10.6, PLEASE??
    {*bangsheadonkeyboard*}

    Yes, any MBP with an Intel processor  and 1-2 GB of RAM (and I had a 1,1 version, too, and the last update I could make was to Snow Leopard) can run SL.
    You'll have to purchase it from the online Apple Store - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard - and then install the updates until you get to the 'latest' version of SL - 10.6.8.
    Only $20 plus taxes and shipping - and the only way to get your hands on it.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • How can I stop running java program in console ?

    Hi , my name is Luck , I will explain :
    - I have created java script which execute commands from cmd level

    I have created java script which execute commands
    from cmd levelI'd be surprised if you did. You probably wrote a Java program. I never heard of Javascript being run from the console.

    youWhat are you talking about? This isn't Java, this isn't Javascript, I have no idea what it is. It's already difficult to understand your problem description.

  • Can a Mac running OS X Server be converted to just regular OS X?

    I am considering buying a Mac Mini; it is configured to run OS X Server, but I was wondering if this can be overwritten just with regular OS X? I ask because whilst I am attracted to the spec of the Mini in question, I don't intend using it as a server. Do I indeed need to overwrite the OS, as I know that Server comes with all of the regular OS apps, etc.
    Thanks in anticipation of any advice given. :)

    Yes, it can. You can simply remove the Server app, all OS X Server really is is a GUI for existing UNIX software. You don't need to reformat & reinstall.

  • Can all macs run .app files or .jar files?

    Hi everyone,
    I'm very confused concerning .app and .jar files. Do all macs natively have the capability to run .jar files?
    If not, could i use the jar bundler to create an .app file (would that run on all macs)?
    thanks

    .jar files are Java files. They may or may not run on most Macs because most Macs do not have Java installed. But one can bundle the Jave interpreter so that Java need not be present on the target computer.
    .app files are true executable applications.

  • Why does the terms for logic say we cant run these programs for commercial use

    question i have regarding the terms for garage band and logic terms where is says just under section 2 it says ((i) to download, install, use and run for personal, non-commercial use, one (1) copy of the Apple
    Software directly on each Apple-branded computer running OS X (“Mac Computer”) that you
    own or control; and)
    im not sure if it means i cant use garage band or logic to produce music for clients for commercial use ?
    check it out here
    http://images.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/LogicPro.pdf
    http://images.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/GarageBand.pdf

    Section C/2/A/(ii) of the Logic Pro document says:
    if you are a commercial enterprise or educational institution, to download, install, use and run
    one (1) copy of the Apple Software for use either: (a) by a single individual on each of the Mac Computer(s) that you own or control, or (b) by multiple individuals on a single shared Mac Computer that you own or control.
    and section C/2/B says:
    The Apple Software may contain sample content including but not limited to artwork, audio files, audio loops, built-in sound files, graphics, images, impulse responses, photographs, samples, sound sets, sound settings, video files, or similar assets (“Sample Content”). This Sample Content is proprietary to Apple and/or its licensors, and is protected by applicable intellectual property and other laws, including but not limited to copyright. Except as otherwise provided, all Sample Content included in the Apple Software may be used on a royalty-free basis to create your own original soundtracks for your film, video and audio projects. You may broadcast and/or distribute your own soundtracks that were created using the Sample Content, however, individual Sample Content assets may not be commercially or otherwise distributed on a standalone basis, nor may they be repackaged in whole or in part as audio samples, clipart, music beds, sound effects, sound files, sound libraries, stock animation, or similar assets.
    (my emphasis).
    All this would seem to cover you for the use you propose (this is not a legal opinion). GarageBand is presumably similar.

  • Can my mac run a script every 15 minute?

    I have osx 10.7 and indesign CS5, and I use a script I run several times a day.  Would it be possible to have my mac start this script automatically - maybe every 15 minute?

    Hans!
    I have been testing this script for many times, and every time it fails to close the indesign-document! The original script you wrote (the small one that did not kill Apple-script-popup) did manage to close indesign-documents.
    Any idea why?
    I have changed my Indesign script so it does not end the job with a jolly popup message, so that problem is solved.
    The only problem left is the timeout message from Applescript.
    property pathToScript : ""
    on idle
              if pathToScript is "" then set pathToScript to (choose file with prompt "Please choose the Javascriptfile") as text

  • Can a mac running windows with Boot Camp be found by Find My iPhone

    I'm running Windows on my MacBook Pro via BootCamp and I'm using the Find My iPhone iCloud app on my iPad. My MacBook Pro cannot be found by Find My iPhone, it's labeled as off-line, even though it's connected to the Internet.
    So my question is this: is there a way for Find My iPhone to see my Mac while running Windows. Note, I've already got iCloud for Windows installed on the Windows side of my MacBook Pro (and Find My Mac turned on on the Mac side, and while on the Mac side, it's always found, no problem.)

    When you iPhone is not connected to the Internet either through 3G/Wi-fi or because it is off then you cannot track it.
    If FindMyiPhone is enabled, even if the iPhone is off or not on wifi/3G, it will still show in FindMyiPhone under Devices, though it cannot be located.
    If it is not showing No Devices, FindMyiPhone is not enabled.
    If it does show in Devices and shows Offline, FindMyiPhone is enabled but it is off or not on wifi/3G.
    This is one way to remove the activation lock if you do not have the device. Delete it from FindMyiPhone in iCloud.

  • Why can't I run these news videos please?

    I'm having trouble opening video content on the following site: http://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/video/Superstar-Dolly-aims-to-be.3559363.jp
    error message says something about not being able to find plug-in and MIME.
    I've tried through Firefox and also downloaded something called Flip4Mac wmv, but i don't really know what I'm doing. Help??!

    That video content appears to be offered in an unsupported format. Most PC video content on the web is in wmv format, however, that can be a tricky thing. Some providers alter the code underneath the WMV wrapper, and the end result is a movie that cannot play, even with Flip4Mac.
    If playback of other wmv content works, then the above is probably what's goin on.
