Can I install iBooksAuthor on a machine running 10.6.8?

Hi All
Can I install iBooksAuthor on a machine running 10.6.8? Will it work with full functionality?
Thanks very much

IBA officially requires Lion or later. It's possible to install it on Snow Leopard. See here for instructions. However, if you do this and run into any problems, you won't get any support from Apple. I would expect that the same trick will work to install iTunes Producer too but, again, it may break in unexpected ways and, of course, you'll be on your own if that happens.

Can't install Mavericks on a machine running Mavericks??

okay, can somebody explain to me why an attempt to download Mavericks onto a machine running Mavericks throws an error saying Mavericks can't be installed this machine?
how am i supposed to reinstall the OS if i can't download it?

It's something PC makers have been doing for years. Apple was pretty much the last company to stop supplying physical media of the OS a computer came with.
For such Macs, the best thing to do is have an external hard drive with an empty Mac formatted partition available. Install the OS the Mac came with through the Recovery steps so you have a clean installation on an erased drive. Then immediately clone that clean install with Disk Utility to the external. That gives you a drive you can reinstall from a heck of a lot faster than over the Internet, and also gives you an emergency drive to boot to in case the internal drive won't boot.
That clone won't have any current or updated data on it, but that's easily fixed, too. You can use Disk Utility to keep a .dmg disk image of your main drive on yet another partition and restore that while booted to the external. You can also use Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper! to do that. There is also of course Apple's built in Time Machine.

Error message: can't install update, firefox is already running, but it is not

second request
an auto update failed a few days ago and now everytime I open FF I get an error message that says can't install update, firefox is already running, but it is not!
the parent.lock file is not open when FF is closed
in addition to this message, a box opens asking looking for a file
Help!

hi
I had the same problem (update failed for normal user, update worked for administrator, but then normal user still got asked about installing the update even though it was already done).
Following the advice on http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_update#Software_Update_not_working_properly worked for me, in particular to remove the update-related xml files.
good luck

Can I install ARD on two machines?

I've just purchased ARD 3. Mostly, I'll want to use it from my office desktop machine, but when I'm on the road, I'll want to use it from my MacBook. Can I install it on both machines, and then have both machines as clients to each other?
Thanks

You need to purchase two copies to legally install ARD on two administration systems.
Note that if all you need is to be able to control another computer, which is what most people want to be able to do from a remote location when it's only one computer, then ARD will be overkill. Look into the freeware VNC. That will give you control capabilities and not cost you anything. You can find VNC applications for Mac here. Most people seem to find Chicken of the VNC works well for them.

Oracle Apps 11.5.8 Can i Install on Win Xp Machine??

Dear Gurus!
I am new to ERP? I have few doubts regarding Apps!
Can i Install Oracle Apps 11.5.8 on Windows Xp Machine which runs with 1 GB Ram on a 120 GB sata Hard-disk!!!
I am aware of MKS Tool Kit and Gnome - and now is the above version compatible with Windows XP or i need to stick to Windows 2000 Advanced Server??
Please advice
Thanks in Advance
Ravi

Hi, GNOME, is a graphical envirorment for platforms as Linux and some Unix, but not for Windows. As part of the installation Oracle E-Business Suite on Windows, you have install MKS Toolkit for Unix command emulation on Windows.
As alternative to MKS Toolkit, exist GYGWIN, a free software with same funcionalities as MKST. Review the Metalink note 302859.1.
Good Luck

Can I Install My ML Time Machine Backup on Snow Leopard?

No.

HP C309 G AIO can't install in Windows 7 64bit running under BootCamp

HP C309 G Printer wont install in Windows 7 64bit running under BootCamp on a new iMac
Just bought a new iMac. Installed HP C309 all in one without incident on the Mac side. I am also running Windows 7 on iMac through a program called Bootcamp. When I boot to Windows 7 and try to install the newly downloaded software for windows 7 from the HP site, it begins to load then stops, giving me two error messages. They are both essentially the same except one says software and the other says hardware. The software one says: This computer does not have the necessary USB software support to allow completion of a USB installation. The printer plugs directly into the monitor in one of four usb ports. All the usb ports work on the system when using Windows 7. I have other devices working and plugged into the usb ports while in Windows 7. It is almost like the printer software is unable to find the usb software or hardware. Any ideas

Well, you have a full Window's 7 install so you would really have to go to HP and/or Microsoft to see what is going on. Bootcamp basically is only involved with "booting" and just installs Apple product drivers and such. Just treat the Window's side as if you are using it on a "normal" Window's PC. (As far as problems, crash's, updates, or any other Windows, HP, etc, problems you may have.)
"Installed HP C309 all in one without incident on the Mac side."
So,,, that means the printer "works" (prints) on the Mac or the installer just worked? Make sure the Printer actually prints in the Mac side as you may have a dead USB port on the Printer. It happens.
If your HP works fine (prints) in the Apple environment you know it's not the USB ports on either the printer or the computer.
You said you already downloaded the newer versions, have you tried using the drivers on the install disk and then update them to the newer ones? Also if you haven't yet, make sure the drivers are for the 64bit version, just a thought.
That's about all my brain cells have so good luck.......

Installing Acrobat on a machine running both Mac OS and Windows OS

I have a new MacAir (Mountain Lion OS) and that will also have Windows 7 installed (via Parallels software). I want to install Adobe Acrobat XI (Standard preferably, or Pro if required) so that I can print to a PDF from any application, whether in either Windows or Mac OS environment. How do I install Acrobat to achieve this? Do I have to install it TWICE, once in Mac environment and then again in the Windows environment? Or can I install Acrobat just in the Mac envronment and have it show up as a printer option in Windows applications? Thank you.

It can't be done. Serials for standalone products are platform specific. Yes, you would have to install it in both environemnts, but as per the previous, it's not possible unless you have 2 licenses. That aside, if all you want to print to PDF, then there's enough free alternatives like GhostScript.

Can I install XP on Lion machine?

I noticed in the Bootcamp install instructions for Lion that XP and Vista are not mentioned for install, only Windows 7. Leopard and Snow Leopard said you could XP, Vista, and W7. I'd go ahead and try installing XP except I figure the drivers are missing or something. Can I install XP on a 13" MacBook Pro with Lion, or do I need to spend the $ for a copy of Windows 7?

Yes, usually. You can use BootCamp or Parallels and a copy of whatever current flavor of Windows you can afford would be best if you want to take advantage of up-to-date tools, support etc.

I can't install Desinger on my machine ,please help me

I want to install Designer, but I can't succeed either when install Oracle Designer 6i Release 4.5 or when install Oracle Designer 9i. I have installed Oracle9i Release 2 (9.2.0.1.0) standard edition for Windows NT on my machine. When I install Oracle Designer 6i, the setup proccess automaticly stopped at checking the dependence of the components, and when I install Designer 9i, it said that some important things couldn't find.
I don't know how to do,please help me.

Hi Yushu,
Designer 6i Release 4.5 is not supported on Oracle9i
Standard Edition 9.2. I believe only 9i versions of
Designer are supported on the Standard Edition 9.2.
For 9i Designer, please can you tell me which version
of Designer you are trying to install (i.e. 9.0.2.0.0,
9.0.2.2.0 etc), if you are installing just Designer
and give me details of which items the error says are
missing?

How can I install Classic on my iBook running 10.4.11?

I wan to install an older version of OS on new G3 iBook so I can run an older version on Photoshop and Illustrator. How can I accomplish this?

Unfortunately I've realized, after looking carefully at that "ID your iBook" article I linked above, that it doesn't enable you to distinguish reliably between some models on the basis of visual cues alone, and some of the ones that could be very hard to tell apart require different minimum versions of OS 9.
So I'm going to propose an alternate approach to getting Classic onto your iBook — one that probably won't cost you anything. This method will NOT enable you to start the iBook up in OS 9. It will only enable you to use OS 9 in Classic mode, that is, within OS X.
Start up the old desktop G3 and check the version of OS 9 that's installed on it. If it's connected to the internet, download the necessary OS 9 updaters (linked in my first reply above) to the G3 and apply them to its installed OS. (If the desktop G3 doesn't have internet access, download the updaters to the iBook while running in OS X, then copy them to the G3's hard drive using a USB flash drive or a burned CD.) When you've finished upgrading the G3's OS to 9.2.2, copy the System Folder from that computer onto the iBook's hard drive. In the Classic pane of System Preferences, designate that System Folder to be used for the Classic environment. OS X will probably tell you it needs to update some files for Classic operation. OK that, and you should soon be ready to use your old applications in Classic mode within OS X.

CAN'T INSTALL Flash Player on iMac running Safari - can you help?

I have run the install programme for the latest version many times over the past 4 weeks or so - every time it seems to complete the download satisfactorally but then I still get error messages accessing BBC iPlayer and the Adobe "detector" tells me it isn't installed. I have a 2008 iMac running OS X 10.7.5 with 4 GB of RAM using Safari version 6.1. Any advice/comments?

Do a "clean install".
Download the "offline installer": Flash Player (Mac OS X)
Save it - DON'T run it yet.
Spotlight Search "Flash Player.plugin". Search your Mac HD. Trash EVERYTHING that appears in the results.
Go to [user]/Library/Preferences. (Hold the "Option" key and click "Go" from the Finder menu to access your [user] Library folder.)
Trash the Macromedia folder (The WHOLE folder).
Go to Mac HD/Library/Internet Plugins.
Trash the flashplayer.xpt file.
Go to: Mac HD/Library/Application Support.
Trash the Macromedia folder (The WHOLE folder).
Empty the trash.
Make sure ALL browsers are fully quit. Press Cmd+Opt+Esc to open the Force Quit window if necessary, to be sure they are no longer running)
Mount the DMG and run the installer to reinstall Flash Player.
Once it's all done, open Safari and go to Safari>Preferences>Security. Make sure "Allow All Other Plugins" in checked.
