Can I get my new iMac to run ancient applications?

I just bought a new iMac (OS 10.5.2), which doesn't support older "Classic 9" apps that ran fine on my eMac (OS 10.3.9).
Is there any sort of download that might make these older applications functional?
Thanks,
Carl

There are some options. First is SheepShaver, and the second is Mini vMac Full Edition. Look for them at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

Will the mini dvd adapter work or do I need to purchase an external dvd rom device? Which device works well with the Mac? Do I need anything else to get the dvd material onto my mac? Thanks!!

No DV port in camcorder. Just a yellow AV port/hole. I did find a Canopus ADVC110 device in a box that was bought several years ago to convert VHS tapes onto DVD's. Can I use this with a Mac? Could I connect a dvd player to the Canopus and transfer the disks onto my Mac? Or, connect the camcorder via AV port to the Canopus and that to the Mac and transfer that way? Thanks again!

How can I get a new HP notebook running Windows 8 to find printers on an existing network?

New HP sleekbook will not detect printers on the network. Network functions fine with new sleekbook. I think I need to get drivers for printers on network on sleekbook. Finding that difficult. Unfamilar with Windows 8

Can I use the new time capsule running 10.68 on my Imac?

Can I use the new time capsule running 10.68 on my Imac? I thinking of buying my first Time Capsule and wanted to get the new one. Is it reqiured for me to upgrade my OS first?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You can use the Time Capsule with your iMac. The problem is that you need AirPort Utility 6.3 to set up the Time Capsule, and it needs OS X 10.7 or later.
If you have an iPhone, iPod touch or iPad, you can connect the Time Capsule to the power adapter, open Settings > Wi-Fi, and set up the Time Capsule through it. Then, you will be able to connect to the Time Capsule.
If you haven't got any other device, upgrade OS X. Open the Mac App Store and purchase OS X Mountain Lion. While it's being downloaded, make a backup of your files with Time Machine and check that your apps are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com
When the download finishes, the Mountain Lion installer will appear, so follow its steps. After upgrading, open  > Software Update, install AirPort Utility 6.3, open it in /Applications/Utilities and follow the steps to set up the Time Capsule

Presumably the mains cable, which you can get from an Apple Store.

I just bought the new late 2013 iMac. Can I get the new iWork for free?

I just bought a new late 2013 iMac. Can I get the new iWork for free? I updated it to Mavericks also. The Mac App store is showing $19.99 for each iWork component (Pages, Numbers, Keynote). I also bought the previous iWork version, if that matters. Free updates for iPhoto and iMovie seemed to show up with no problems. Maybe these are just glitches that will clear up in a couple of days?

Hi. If you want it to get updated, this should take care of it.
1. Uninstall iWork from your Mac.
2. Do a fresh install of iWork from DVD.
3. Install iWork update from Apple Downloads (direct link here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1563)
4. Sign into the Mac App Store, and check for updates. It should now show up as a free update. You may have to give it a few minutes (i.e. 10-15 minutes).
I've been a Windows user for years, so I know all of the tricks by now. I had hoped I would not need this knowledge for a Mac, but oh well...
Good luck.

Without knowing what you have tried please open System Preferences - Sharing - File Sharing and select File Sharing. If you still have trouble you can call AppleCare in the morning when they re-open. You have 90 days of telephone support if you haven't already bought AppleCare.

Back up all data before proceeding.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select
          Change Settings for Keychain "login"
In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
From the menu bar, select
          Keychain Access ▹ Preferences... ▹ First Aid
There are four checkboxes in the window that opens. Check all of them. if they're not already checked. Close the window.
Select
          Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.
If you use iCloud Keychain, open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the Keychain box. You'll be prompted to delete the local iCloud keychain. Confirm. Then re-check the box. Follow one of the procedures described in this support article to set up iCloud Keychain on an additional device.

How can I get a new copy of the Voicemail app for my LG Spectrum?

How can I get a new copy of the Voicemail app for my LG Spectrum? It no longer works....the screen say Loading please wait....the
!Visual Voice Mail - A Visual Voice Mail error has occurred. Please try again. OK I've tryed several times with the same message. I've
deleted the app from my screen and replaced it from the Apps Library....still the same message.
I cannot find an answer on MyVerizon. Any ideas?
Thank you,
Dee

OK, at least 3 is working.
I don't know how you have a Tape Recorder icon on your Home Screen. I cannot add one myself. But, I am running Holo Launcher in replacement of the default LG "Optimus" User Interface. It's much better in my opinion.
Try long pressing the icon and select Edit and maybe you can change some attribute of the icon.
Another thing you could do, is long-press an empty area of your desktop, to add an icon. Select Shortcut, then Select Contact, and scroll through your contact list and choose the contact that you added for *86.
You realize if you have voice mail you haven't heard, there is a tape recorder icon in the notification bar, which you touch and pull down, then press it to dial voicemail.
If that functionality doesn't work, you MIGHT want to consider doing a factory data reset on your device, but that is going to nuke all your personalizations and cause you work to set up again.

Please I can not get a .jar file to run on XP SP3 start/run/cmd/

I can not get a .jar file to run on XP SP3 start/run/cmd/
Please help if can figure this out. I'm convinced it is a Windows XP SP3 problem from searching on google and seeing other ppl on XP SP3 with same problem (but no working solution for myself). I'll try to be complete-listing all I've done.
I had installed: Java SE Runtime Environment v6u14 for Windows Multi-language
I had checked here it was working properly: http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
I'm trying to run this jar file (soht-client-0.6.2.jar):
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/telnetoverhttp/soht-java-client-0.6.2.zip?download
http://www.ericdaugherty.com/dev/soht/javaclient.html < this is the information for the program.
(yes the file can be executed and should open the program's window
I wanted to post screenshot of it but friend that it's working for isn't here)
_(Please find log of all cmds I did in this post here: http://pastebin.com/f792983df )_
_I have extracted +'all' the files to: C:\062\+_ (I have tried using other directories, same problem)
++I then start/open/run/cmd+
then I: cd C:\062\+
then I try various commands - all+ of these do absolutely nothing- meaning no errors, no reply, no window opens, nothing except enters that directoy again:
java -jar soht-client-0.6.2.jar
java -jar -client soht-client-0.6.2.jar
java -client -jar soht-client-0.6.2.jar
java -jar soht-client-0.6.2.jar soht.properties
soht-client-0.6.2.jar
So I try this cmd: java soht-client-0.6.2.jar
Reply:

SOHT Java Client
The SOHT Java Client requires a properties file. Either start
the application in the same directory as the soht.properties
file, or specify the file name on the command line:
java -jar soht-cleint-<version>.jar c:\soht.properties
So then I do these cmds which produce the exact same error/reply just above; Unable to load..:
j_ava -jar soht-client-0.6.2.jar -client soht.properties_
java -jar soht-client-0.6.2.jar -client C:\062\soht.properties
So then I copy soht.properties to C root and do:
java -jar soht-client-0.6.2.jar -client C:\soht.properties <same error as above
Then from other information I have read I right click on the .jar file, select open with Always open with:
_"C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\javaw.exe"_
Try again.. same problem.
Then I do cmd:
_"C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\javaw.exe" -jar "C:\062\soht-client-0.6.2.jar"_
does nothing, retry the other commands same thing (either nothing or those same replies)
Then I read (http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5384879) someone had the same problem as I and they solved it by uninstalling all Java/reboot/ then install JDK 6 Update 14 with NetBeans 6.5.1 start NetBeans and then it worked for them.
So I unistalled all Java, rebooted and gave the cmd another try (before re-installing), now a new error, of course:
C:\062>java -jar soht-client-0.6.2.jar
'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Then I install Java SE and NetBeans Cobundle (JDK 6u14 and NB 6.5.1) Final Release/ reboot/ open Netbeans/
go to test java page; all is good, run cmds again -and still nothing..
C:\062>java -version
java version "1.6.0_14"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_14-b08)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 14.0-b16, mixed mode, sharing)
I reassociate program with: C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.007\bin\javaw.exe_
same thing.. nothing
Thank you very much for your time :D_
PS. My computer has been newly reformatted so needing another reformat I'm sure is not the solution.

Thank you very much for your replies Taggert_77 & swmtgoet_x :D
Taggert77_: I have never used NetBeans. I only installed it in the bundle as I had read on another post that somehow installing the bundle magically helped another user with the same problem (he didn't know why it worked after that either).
Before XP SP3 I was able to execute .jar file through cmd prompt. Now I am not.
This file is executable, grab it and you will see. Here is a screen shot (program in front is FlashFXP, behind is the cmd prompt and what should happen):http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/53273b4ddf.jpg
swmtgoetx_: I only did the other cmd's to try to make it spit out something, anything lol :D
The proper cmd is simply: java -jar soht-client-0.6.2.jar
I did give your cmd a try, and it produced nothing :( (just like the other correct cmds)
java -client -jar soht-client-0.6.2.jar soht.properties
Thank you again...the mystery remains
PS. If you do a search for this you'll find an amazing amount of XP SP3 users with the same problem and no solution posted that I could find except one chap that did the unistall install order that I did above).

HT1947 Remote app requirements are stated as "software version 3.1.3 or later". I am running 4.2.1 and when I try to download it says 4.3 required. Where can I get the (old) version that runs on my IOS?

'Remote' app requirements are stated as "software version 3.1.3 or later". I am running 4.2.1 and when I try to download it says 4.3 required.
OK, I understand that new versions make use of facilities that come with new versions of IOS, but there is/was a version that runs on 3.1.3 and therefore, I assume 4.2.1. Where can I get the (old) version that runs on my IOS?
The app store seems to ignore all legacy equipment owners, and want me to spend loadsa money to get the latest shiny toy. It probably makes business sense, but I dislike companies that take that approach. This is my first venture into smart phones, and I like the IOS interface, but I'm not sure I can afford the maintenance.

This is standard for Apple. While there is little official mention of the software support lifespan for equipment, typical support has been about 4-5 years for computers. It strikes me that newer items, especially mobile devices, are not built as sturdily nor do they have the hardware upgrade capabilities required to keep up with newer systems. When we bought an iPhone 4S we were told by the person in the store we'd probably be looking at a newer model in two years. The iPhone 3G could be anywhere from 2 to 4 years old, putting it well into.
As for app availability, Apple typically pulls old software versions from its site when new versions appear. If it is a non-Apple app then I guess it is up to the vendor. It is indeed tiresome but it is not at all unusual. Since I only ever run used Macs, I download current versions even though my computer won't run them, stick them on a hard drive, then I have them when I upgrade to a newer used computer. If you run older equipment you have to learn a different mode of operation to exist with the Apple 'new and innovative' but 'forget about the old' philosophy.

How can I restore my new iMac back to when I first switched it on?

I was so keen to get my new iMac working that I got my name wrong in the setup and I stupidly skipped the migrate settings step which would have taken everything over from my old Mac.
How can I get back to how things were when I first switched on so I can go through the whole procedure again - this time the right way?
Thanks in anticipation.

Thanks Matt. Your comments are reassuring.
But I also need to reset the name that I typed in at the beginning as I started to set up the machine for my business partner (we bought two - one for him, one for me) but he finished up taking the other one. So I need to go back to that first switch-on screen again.

I have an iMac4.1 and my iPhoto is very slow and the thumbnails correspond to the wrong pictures. How do I fix this? Or is my iMac too old? Will getting a new iMac solve this problem?.

I realize is only 512MB of memory but I want to make sure that a new iMac will solve this problem. Can the new iPhoto handle 10GB or more of photos? Or do I have to go to Picasa anyways in which case I can buy any computer to do that?

The model of Mac is not partcularly relevant, it's the version of the OS and iPhoto that matter.
iPhoto - since 2006 - is good for 250,000 images.
