Can I Multi-Process with an Older, Non-Intel Mac?

...when I am on a new Intel Mac with AE CS4?

I don't understand the question. Can you use computer A while you're using computer B? Are you talking about network rendering? If so, then consider that both computers must be able to run After Effects and open the project that you're working with. Because After Effects CS4 only runs on processors with the Intel architecture (not PowerPC chips), the "non-Intel" Mac is a non-starter.

VOIP hardware for non-Intel Macs

A question: is there any add-on hardware available to make a non-Intel desktop Mac ready to use for VOIP? Like a VOIP PCI express card? Currently, Intel Macs can use the Magic Jack or Skype; non-Intel Macs (such as my G5) can only use Skype or its equivalent. Which can be a discouraging pain in the butt if I want to also use the G5's sound system for the more conventional purposes, e.g., iTunes, iPod, alert sounds, mail sounds, importing audio, assembling soundtracks, etc. If a Skype call comes in when I'm listening to iTunes, for example, I have to plug in the Skype headset, open my System Preferences, change the settings, shut off iTunes, and only then can I answer the "phone". Are there any changes to the hardware coming to make this all(including the Magic Jack) unnecessary in the future?

I was mistaken. There are settings within Skype to settle the problem I was having.

What kind of camcorder can I get with a non Intel Mac

I am looking to buy my first camcorder and plan to spend about $300.00. After reading the following quote about a Sony camcorder I am a bit concerned, as I do not have an intel mac, I have a iMac G5 Isight -2.1 cpu,2.5GB ram. I have iMovie 08 and Leopard. What kind of camcorder should I get with my set up?
"I also have new unibody 2008 Mac Book pro OS X - laptop detects camera right away and launching iMovie08, offering video transfer. If you have older, non Intel Processor Mac - forget about this camera - and ALL OTHER's AVCHD/H.264 camcorders - most likely they will not be working for you. So, please, do not write negative reviews, do not confuse people, OK? "

Something like this should work: http://tinyurl.com/ycy4rnu
Although list price is only about $200, with the extra battery(s?), Firewire cable, camcorder case, blank media, etc., that you will need if you do not already have them, $300 is not far off.
You can also consider other Firewire connected camcorders that are compatible with your Mac and OS.
Before I buy, I like to download the user guide for the camera I am considering and review it to be sure it does what I want. Regardless of which camcorder you are considering, if you cannot find the information about system compatibility in the camcorder's documentation, the retailer can help you find the information you need.
As shown in iLife System requirements, iMovie 8 can work with your Mac and a compatible camcorder:

Note that AVCHD and 24-bit recording have requirements beyond those stated in your system info.

Can I use a Power PC non intel Mac Mini as an external HD with my iMac 3.06

Can I use a Power PC non intel Mac Mini as an external HD with my iMac 3.06 Intel Core Duo
I can't figure out how to get this to work. Is it possible?

Will it work if I connect via usb instead of firewire?
No. There is no "USB Target Disk Mode".
Just so we're clear, when you start your Mac mini in FireWire Target Disk Mode (TDM - holding T on startup), do you see a FireWire icon on the Mac mini's display? IIRC, it's not required that the Mac mini be connected to a display for TDM, but it would help diagnose whether or not the mini is actually starting in this mode.

Can you dual boot lion with an older verion of Mac OS?

Can you dual boot Lion Os with and Older version of Mac Os (Snow Leopard?) So one can rum Power PC apps until they are upgraded?

You can dual boot if your machine originally came with an older OS version. No Mac can boot from an older version than the one it came with - notable exceptions are if the machine was built right around the time of the new OS release; in that case, it would depend on the machine and OS builds - it may or may not be possible.
So the important question here is: did yours come with Lion preinstalled? The answer is most likely: No. Or Snow Leopard? The answer would be: Yes.

Using GRaid Thunderbolt drive with older, non-thunderbolt mac.

I have a GRaid 4TB thunderbolt external drive. Can I use that with an older mac that doesn't have thunderbolt if I have a thunderbolt to firewire adapter?

It won't work. No adapter exists at the moment. At this point, a Thunderbolt display needs a Thunderbolt signal sent from a Thunderbolt compatible device.
MAYBE you can plug the older MBP into a Thunderbolt peripheral (like the Promise Pegasus RAID disk), then plug the Thunderbolt display into the Promise...but that seems like an overly expensive work-around.

Syncing with a non Intel Mac?

I have a new iMac that is running OS Lion.
I have an old machine that is non intel and cant run Lion.
I used to be able to sync calendars between my older non intel machines using Mobile me.
Now that I have updated my Mobile me account to iCloud, it looks like my new machine on iCloud is not syncing calendars at all with the non Intel machine.
Is there any way to keep the older machine in the loop with the syncing?

iCloud on a Mac requires Lion 10.7.2. All OSX before can't use iCloud syncing.
All you can do on non supported systems is using a modern browser to visit www.icloud.com for calendar,Adresses and Mail.

Using MacBook backup with non-Intel Mac laptop

I'm scheduled for a computer replacement at work (not a new one, but a hand-me-down from someone else). I was originally told it would have to be a Windows PC (grrr), but then it turned out that someone who recently left for another job had a Mac laptop that I can have instead. I'm not sure exactly what model it is, but it's my understanding that it's only a year or two old. I assume it will be an iBook or a PowerBook.
I'm wondering if I can use my MacBook backup (which is on an external harddrive and is bootable) to boot up a non-Intel Mac laptop. Since I have to send my MacBook back in for repair (second round of RSD), I was hoping that once I get this older laptop I could just boot from my external and keep on working as if I still had my MacBook (without the ability to use Windows of course). I assume all the programs (except Parallels) would be compatible, but would the system files work?

I don't think it will allowed you to boot from that external that installed with os X 10.4.x (compiled for macintel version).
But surely you can use the data in it if you have proper or similar program at the older portable mac.
But if you willing to try it, it won't hurt, just connect that external and restart while pressing the option key, and if it shows as an option for start up, click on it and see how it goes. If nothing happen, simply shutdown the laptop and restart regularly using its own hd.
Good Luck.

Sony HDR-SR11 /AVCHD/NON-INTEL MAC/HELP

I have called both sony and apple tech support and both offered little help today.
I have a Sony HDR-SR11 that I shot some HD content with. The computer registers that the camera is there as an external HDD. Sony's FAQ suggested that I save the AVCHD file to my HDD and it should work....NOPE
I hooked it up to a PC and installed the software it comes with and I was able to view my files but not export them into a normal format.
I have 2 sets of files one set is .m2t and the other is .mts both say they are Unix Executable files..***!
I have a Power MAc G5 running Leopard and Final Cut Pro 6 I ran the software update and it says that as of today 100% up to date yet it says that FCP should be 6.0.2 mine says 6.0
Apple support said that it may not even work on a non-intel Mac.....HELP
anyone get this to work, supposedly Imovie work s with it but the files are grayed out in the menus for imovie so I dunno all I know is I need this footage off the camera ASAP.
Thanks

I came here actually looking for a different solution and not the one I'm about to say... but I will tell you that the new iMovie will import the video straight off the camera (in either 960x540 or 1920x1080). It's not ideal, but it works.
In fact, I'm doing so right now, but I came here hoping there might be news of a new fix so that FCP will import it directly (it will not, log & capture will not do it, just so others are clear on this).
That said, the video off the camera looks very nice. I'm still happy with the camera, even if I do have to do one hoop jump before I can edit.

Which version lightroom for non-intel mac 10.5.8

Which Version of Lightroom works best with a (non-Intel) Mac 10.5.8? Thank You.

There is none that Adobe will sell you. They only supply the most recent version: LR 5, which requires 10.7.5, I think. Sometimes you can get the previous version, i.e. LR 4, on Amazon but sometimes those are just scams, too, so you want to make sure you’re buying from Amazon, themselves, not an Amazon-Marketplace vendor.
To your specific question about what version is compatible with 10.5.8, if you go to the Adobe page for LR Mac updates:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=113 <http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=113&platform=Macintosh> &platform=Macintosh
and click down into the past versions, it appears that LR 3.6 from 12/12/2011, will run on OSX 10.5 but LR 4.x will not, so I don’t think you’ll have much luck with such an old OS.

Need URL for non-intel Mac OS X Firefox

Firefox 7 for Intel Mac overwrote a version of Firefox that worked on my non-Intel Mac. No Firefox right now. Can't find usable version of Firefox on Mozilla website.

Found the answer. The correct URL is http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html . The working version is 3.6+
Mac owners take notice---There is no link to the above URL on the Firefox website.
The advice to upgrade to version 4 is bogus.

Will Install Disks for a MacBook (10.4.6) work on a non-Intel Mac?

I have got hold of new and unused install disks for a MacBook. Its OSX Tiger 10.4.6. Although all the new Macs are now Intel Duo, will this still be able to be installed on my iBook G4 512Mb?
Or will it only work on a Mac with an Intel Duo processor?
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9) 512Mb

The story has now changed somewhat. Copied from your original post in this thread.
I have got hold of new and unused install disks for a MacBook. Its OSX Tiger 10.4.6. Although all the new Macs are now Intel Duo, will this still be able to be installed on my iBook G4 512Mb?
Although this 10.4.6 install package for an iBook may work on your iBook, usually the build must be identical also.
A link I provided in one of my previous posts in this thread.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25517
This install package may install OK on your iBook but if the build is not identical, it may not work correctly after the fact.
Since the bods at the Apple Store you visited said this makes no difference - this iBook 10.4.6 install package you acquired will work on ANY non-Intel Mac, what are you worried about? Use it but to be on the safe side, I would first get the bods at this Apple Store to provide you a free exchange for a Tiger retail install install package if your install package doesn't work.

How Can I Share Printer with 2 Older Macs?

I would appreciate detailed guidance on how to set up printer sharing for two older Macs - assuming that this is even possible in this case. I have the following Macs that work very well independently as well as through a router for internet access.
1. MacMini, 1.5 GHz, Bluetooth+Airport Extreme (approx. 3 yrs old) running OS X 10.5.2 and using Airport for internet access.
2. Power Mac G4, 466 MHz (approx. 7 yrs old) running OS X 10.3.9 and connected directly to the router for internet access.
An HP Deskjet 5940 printer was used exclusively with the MacMini, and a Lexmarl Z53 was used exclusively with the G4. The Z53 just reached the end of its life, and thus I disconnected the 5940 from the MacMini and connected it to the G4 where it now works fine.
In spite of all attempts with various settings at each Mac, I have not been able to get any printing done from the MacMini. What detailed settings/connections do I need to make so that I can use that 5940 printer from the MacMini?
Thanks for your response.

Please note that I reposted my question to the following category where I have already received suggestions:
Mac OS X v10.3 Panther & earlier > Printing & Faxing > "Can I Share a Printer Between OS X 10.3.9 and 10.5.2?"

I can not delete process with correlation

Hi,
WE have an XI 3.0 SAP system (stack 16) and I cannot do exactly what SAP Note 807906 ("BPE-TS: Deleting process with correlations") describes:
If you are certain that the process is no longer required, call the log of the affected process (using the process selection (SWF_XI_SWI1)) or the SXMB_MONI, ... and display the work item of the process (Workflows).
Go to the technical work-item display (if this is not displayed by default) and then select Edit => Change there.
Under 'Services for Administration', select the 'Logical Deletion' function.
In my case, after going to the "work-item display", the "change" option appears in grey and cannot be selected... burtnot only this option cannot be selected but most of them in the wholw menu...
¿Any clue of what´s happening?
Regards

Hi,
Thanks for the answer.
The fact is that TX SWWL is the same as report RSWWWIDE (it deletes physically in DB and affects the workload). The difference with TX SWF_XI_SWI1 is that I could delete entries of my choice logically and I would have to wait only for the next table switch....
I would like to try to make TX SWF_XI_SWI1 working well...
thanks,
