Can I get a plug-in to make old software work with Lion?

Uploaded and install Lion 10.7.2 onto my MacBook (2.4ghz, 2GB). Got it running, then discovered numerous, mostly photography-related software, no longer works. Pretty peeved. This includes:
Adobe Photoshop, InDesign, VersionCue and Illustrator
EOS Viewer Utility and Digital Photo Professional (for my Canon camera)
Acrobat 6.0 Professional
AppleWorks
Corel Painter
Microsoft Office
Real Player
I cannot afford to just buy new licenses so will have to switch back to Snow Leopard unless they fix this. Will I get my $30 back? Any ideas?
Thanks.

I've discovered that all of these applications (programs) are PowerPC and are not supported within OS X Lion. Is there a Rosetta plug-in that one can get? Any news about Apple updated Lion to include one? Any other things I can try?
There is now and will never be any way for PowerPC apps to run on Lion.
You'll need to go back to Snow Leopard.
Call Apple and ask for a refund on your Lion Purchase

My bigfish game show a black screen after I launch it...I can hear the game, but screen black...it work with Lion

When I launch my Bigfish game...the screen is black...I can hear the game, but screen black. It was fine with Lion...

You can try removing and re-syncing your apps from itunes, or try downloading any free application from the app store.
The latter usually fixes it for me

I can't get the new Maverick OS I downloaded to work with iTunes. I am trying to copy some songs onto an SD card and it won't let me create a new folder or click and drag the tunes onto a folder or into the current SD card. What am I doing wrong?

I can't get the files to drag onto a file or onto the SD card. What should I do?

Did you accidentally engage the lock slider on the side of the card? What exact error messages are you seeing?

How Can I get my JayBird Freedom Bluetooth Earbud Headset to Work with my MacBook Pro-Retina

I have a 1st gen iPad and a relatively new MacBook Pro 15 Retina. As well, I also have a Jaybird Freedom Bluetooth Earbud Headset (Mic/Stereo Speakers). Finally, I have a Droid X (I'll explain in a minute why I mention this).
My BT Earbuds can pair with my iPad and my Droid X just fine. As a matter of fact, it can bind with my iPad for audio, and my Droid X for phone audio at the same time. However, even when the Droid X and the iPad BT is disabled (on both), my MacBook Pro will not work with the Bluetooth earbuds. I am able to pair them (it shows as a Jaybird Freed Headset, and shows that it can be used as an audio output/input device), but when I try to use the earbuds for audio, it almost hangs up for a few moments, then finally fails and reports that "there was an errr connecting to your audio device.." with the "stop using headset" as my only option.
My MacBook Pro Gen 2 with Snow Leopard used to be able to pair with this headset. I'm not sure if it is the OS or the newew generation laptop. I have seen a few other threads on this, but no fixes that work for me.

Just posted a problem I'm having connecting my Jaybird Freedom and iPhone5 (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4716045). The Jaybirds connected fine with an iPhone4s and another (forgotten) device so I don't think the problem lies with the Jaybird. I'd be interested if you hear differently.

Can't get GeForce GTX 560 Ti card CUDA to work with new Premiere Pro CC 2014 version

In the past I've been able to get CUDA on my GeForce GTX 560 Ti card to work with Mercury Playback engine by adding "GeForce GTX 560 Ti" to the cuda_supported_cards.txt file. But with the new CC 2014 version of Premiere, that file isn't in the Premiere Pro directory anymore. Is there a way to get my GTX 560 Ti to be listed as a CUDA-supported card with CC 2014?

Okay, I figured it out. I installed the latest graphics driver and then opened the NVIDIA control panel. In there I selected "Manage 3D settings" and went to the "program settings" tab. I selected Adobe Premiere (adobe premiere pro.exe) from the list and under the "CUDA - GPUs" feature, I changed it to "Use these GPUs" and selected my GTX 560 Ti (which was the only one listed).
After doing that, I opened Premiere Pro CC 2014 and selected "Project Settings - General" and was then able to choose "Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration" under Renderer (which had previously been unavailable).
Hopefully this will help someone else if they encounter the same problem.

How can I make Office 2003 work with Lion?

Just made the switch to Lion only to find that Office 2003 was incompatible with the new OS. Any way to work around this or do I just need to upgrade to Office 2008 or 2011?

As Shawn said, if your copy of Office is a PC version, it won't work under Lion. You could try Virtual Box to run Windows on your Mac, or create a Windows boot partition.
If that's some old version of Office for Mac, then it won't run under Lion. This is because Lion does not include, and cannot run, Rosetta, which is the code converter which allowed old PPC-based Mac software to run on Intel-based Macs.
I second the notion of getting Pages. It's not expensive, it's easy to buy and install at the Mac App Store, and it works really well. It will read all of your Word files. Ditto for Numbers and Keynote.
You could also take a look at OpenOffice or NeoOffice. Both are free (the latest version of NeoOffice requires a $10 or higher donation, but the next-to-last version works fine and does not require a donation) and work well.

Does anyone know how to make WireTap Studio work with Lion?

I installed Lion in August, but I have been so busy that I haven't tried to use some of my applications with it until now. One of my favourite sotware suites, Wire Tap Studio, does not seem to be compatible with Lion. This is more than disappointing; it is such a disappointment that I am prepared to ditch Lion and go back to Snow Leopard, if I knew how. Has anyone had a similar experience, and is there a solution?

I am a bit late to the party . Just discovered that wiretap studio no longer works..Ive regularly upgraded the OS and recently I upgraded to Yosemite and its the first time I've had this issue.
I cant wiretap other than via a mic which results in crappy sound. Apparently Ambrosia are not going to make a fix..
Anyone know of an alternative that can capture sound internally without the use of a mic the way wiretop did. Ive looked at MixPAd... It doesnt capture internal sound as far as I can see and Onedesof Audio recorder came with a Firefox Warning about possible corruption or tampering .
I want to capture good quality sound so I can study the arrangements without background noise filtering in via a mic.

My mac has10.5.8 and should be compatible with new HP officejet pro 8600. I can't get it to install for wireless, nor to work with USB cable. Have tried downloading HP install directly from HP and it still doesn't work.

I just bought a new HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 printer. I have been unable to download the installation for wireless connection even though have had the assistance of Costco tech, HP tech and some advice from Apple. Because the system is MacOs 10.5.8 the error says it is incompatible, even though the product lists compatiblilty with 10.5, 10.6. I was advised 1 option might be to obtain Snow Leopard for installation, however am somewhat reluctant as the bo states 10.5 should work and Snow Leopard is 10.6, which is also listed as compatible. I am unable to get the printer to work even with USB cable. Too much time spent on this and I hate to start over with another printer because I'm afraid I might have the same trouble. Is Snow Leopard something I should get anyway? Help!

Snow Leopard has more compatible Java.

If that doesn't work to fix the problem, then see my FAQ* on printing:

Can anyone get they're persons inspire sound card to work on lion?

I've just bought a brand new macbook pro running 10.7 and i cant seem to get my presonus inspire 1394 soundcard to sync with it, the soundcard uses a firewire 400 cable and I've got a 400 to 800 cable (i think)
any help would be massivly appreashiated.

This forum is intended for questions about old, pre-G3 hardware, and doesn't get much traffic. Hence it's not the forum where you'll be most likely to get help with your problem. I'd suggest you ask this question in the Mac OS X 10. 7 forum or the MacBook Pro forum; you'll be more likely to get assistance there.
Regards.

Can't get my mini dvi to video adapter to work with my tv

Ok so I bought a mini dvi to video adapter to hook my imac up to my tv, and I when I go to detect displays all it does is flash white for a split second, and then doesn't work
any suggestions?

OK... so I figured it out. Firstly, the RCA cable I was using was faulty. Secondly, I think the adapter I bought is also faulty. I found that it only works when it is hanging down from the computer... as in the computer is sitting on the edge of, say, a desk, and the the cable hangs over the side. If I move the cable upwards, it stops working. So, I'm going to call an Apple store and see if this is most likely the problem, and I'll probably exchange it.
Thanks again,
Zeb

I am planning on getting a new IMAC will my old software work on the new mac

I am planning on buying a IMAC so will I have to replace all my software that is on my G4 running 10.5.8 ?

Not ALL of your software, but likely some of it. Right click on an application and click "Get Info." Next to "Kind:" if it says Power PC, it will not work on a new iMac.

With CS6 you have to pay extra for these plugins.
With the CC you can download different ME versions to add their functionality.

What version of iPhoto do you have on the Macbook and on the iMac? What systems are you running on the Macbook and on the iMac?
