Can I bypass not being able to run PowerPC applications on my mac?

Is it possible to bypass the "You cannot open the open because PowerPC applications are no longer supported"? I can't find anything and I need to get past it to instal a game. My macbook pro w/out retina runs the latest version of mavericks by the way.

Yes: You can install Snow Leopard Server into Parallels and regain access to Rosetta, which will allow many games to run again in Mavericks.  However some games with complex or 3D graphics may not run well or work at all in virtualization.

  • I have an early 2011 macbook pro 13" running 10.6.8, if i upgrade to osx mavericks 10.9.1 will I still be able to run powerpc applications?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Mac OS X 10.6.8 is the last Mac OS X version that supports PowerPC applications, so if you upgrade to OS X Mavericks, you will lose the ability to use PowerPC applications.
    I recommend you to look for upgrades to those apps, but if you cannot or any of your apps are not available for Intel-based Macs, a different option you have is to create a second partition and install OS X Mavericks there, so you can still use your old apps by starting up into Snow Leopard.

  • Issue with groups not being able to run applications on remote server

    Hi all..
    I've got an older PowerMac G5 running 10.5.8 that gets the OpenDirectory accounts from our MacMini server running 10.6.5. I've got a group setup called "Children" that my kids belong to and which is managed care of the Workgroup manager. However, I find that some of my apps can't be run by any of the kids if they're in subdirectories within /Applications. They receive a "The operation could not be completed because you do not have enough access privileges." I've tried playing around with various settings and finally decided to not restrict access to any applications but the problems remain.. Some apps can be run just fine but others are out of reach.. Any ideas on how to fix this or perhaps diagnose it?
    Thx!

    Hi
    Another approach is to create a folder in the local Administrators Home folder. Name it Applications. Place the applications you want to restrict access to into that folder. If you have ARD you could use the mkdir and mv commands to achieve this. In some situations I find this an easier way of managing applications rather than what's available in WorkGroup Manager. For me it only tends to work with Apple's built in applications effectively. Anything else is liable to cause a problem along the lines you mention. Some 3rd-Party applications can have dependencies that may be sited in different locations. The trick is tracking down them.

  • How can I fix not being able to export from InDesign CC?

    I'm working on Mac with Mavericks OS.
    I don't know what happened but the Export feature under the File menu is greyed out. Consequently I cannot export. This has not happenned since working in CC for about a year.
    After reseraching forums I found that I could try Replacing Preferences with Shift/Cntrl/Option/Command. After doing this I launched InDesign CC and the Export feature was enabled. However, afte quitting and relaunching InDesign, the Export feature again was greyed out/disabled. I replaced preferences once again and Export again was available. But after quitting and relaunching InDesign the export feature again was not available.
    Any help with this would be appreciated. Thank you.

  • N800 not being able to run WAV files

    I recently got a N800 and downloaded the latest operating system last week. I also am using Gizmo (VOIP) where I have my voice messages recorded and mailed to my e-mail account. These voice mail files are in .wav format and the N800 manual says that they could be read/heard but I keep getting the message on the N800 that the file is unsupported. Any ideas?

    Are you sure it supports WAV format?

  • Info buttom removed from iTunes 11.1.3, & not being able to have my contacts on my mac/pc

    A new update on iTunes 11.1.3 & still cannot synchronize my contacts from my iphone to my mac
    How to move my contacts froom iphone to contacts on mac ???
    Not having a solution is frustrating
    If no solution available, can you please share an old version of iTunes that includes this option

    I was having the same problem and this seemed to work, not sure which was the solution though because I didnt check between either.
    1. If you go on your iPhone settings > iCloud and then turn on contacts
    2. Go to iPhone settings > Mail, Contacts, Calenders and tap "Import SIM contacts"
    Hope this helps! I think it is probably the first option, but it takes about a minutes for them to appear.

  • Hello, I have been having some trouble with my mac after i bought it and used Migration Assistant, i.e. not being able to install some applications, such as adobe flash player. Anyone know a solution? Thank you!

    Reinstalling OS X won't help you unless you erase the drive and reinstall from scratch. To do that you want a backup of your files so they won't be lost. If you can do that, then:
    Install or Reinstall Mavericks or Mountain Lion from Scratch
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    OS X Mavericks- Erase and reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Erase and reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Erase and reinstall Mac OS X
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
                because it is three times faster than wireless.
    Now, after the successful first startup you will be in the Setup Assistant. Be sure you give your new admin account the same username as the one on your backup. When you get to the Desktop I suggest you install Flash from the download link I gave you earlier. Open Safari and see if Flash is now working for you. I recommend you reinstall only your data at this time. Redownload and install any third-party software you use. Be sure you get only the most recent versions and that they are compatible with Mavericks - App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.

  • I just got an IPAD2 on Saturday.  With the Mac, I could always tell when programs were open/running by going to the menu bar.  How can I tell what programs are running in the background.  I am struggling with not being able to go to a menu bar at the top

    You can see which apps are open and/or recently used by double-clicking the home button to bring up the taskbar at the bottom of the screen (not all apps that appear there are active) - you can then close apps on it by pressing and holding one of them for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar. If you have an app 'open' on-screen then it won't appear on the taskbar, you will need to go back to the homescreen first, and it should then show when you next open the taskbar.

    I have purchased music, apps, or books with multiple Apple IDs. How can I get all of this content onto my iOS device?

    First, you need to copy all of your purchased content so it is on the same Mac or PC with iTunes. This computer should be the one you sync your device with. For more information on how to move your content, see these articles:
    Mac:  iTunes for Mac: How to copy purchases between computers

    Next, authorize your computer to play content with each Apple ID in iTunes. Once your computer is authorized for all your content, it can be synced to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

  • This is a stupid question but I needed to ask because I don't want to go there and not being able to buy it, but can I get the iPhone 5 brought straight there when I go to an apple store?

    This is a stupid question but I needed to ask because I don't want to go there and not being able to buy it, but can I get the iPhone 5 brought straight there when I go to an apple store?

    And I meant go to the apple store physically without preordering it online, and I meant the Southampton one. So could I just stroll in apple store and buy a iPhone 5 in Southampton apple store and buy the iPhone 5 straight away? Because I didn't want to have to wait? I just want to go in and buy it and go out with it, if you guys get what I mean? And felipeV if it is in stock could I just buy it and leave with my iPhone 5?
