Can I run OS 8.1 apps on OSX 10.3 with OS 9.22 installed / classic?

We have some software we have been running on a powerbook 5300ce under os8.1 we now have an imac g3 400mhz dv se and we want to run the software on that. The G3 has OS 10.3 and os 9.2.2 installed.
The software is on the 5300ce and floppies but I can't connect the 5300 to the imac, can I? So I copied the mac floppy discs to my pc using transmac (I told it not to translate the file extensions). Then I burned the files to a cd and copied to the G3 desktop but when I execute them I get the message "there is no default application specified to open the document "Io Programs Installer" choose an application..."
If I do a getinfo on the the file it says it is a unix ececutable file size 1.2MB
I had started the classic environment but that doesn't seem to do anything.
Any help appreciated. I'm totally stuck and out of my depth.

Hi Robert
I think you are right about the forks problem.
I also think you are right about transmac. My plan is to do exactly what you have suggested. (use transmac to write a floppy disk with an image of a floppy containing splitsville). Unfortunately I need someone to e-mail me the that image.
"Perhaps, transmat will burn the entire floppy image to an .img file.If it did you could copy this file to the mac and double click on it. This should bring up a folder of your files."
This is what I want to do.
"Another option would be to bundle the files on the 5300ce. One program to do this is binhex.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BinHex
scroll down to second entery
http://www.pure-mac.com/compen.html"
I can't use these programs as I have no way of getting them on to the 5300ce which is why I need someone to e-mail me a floppy image wit splitsvile on it.
My first problem is getting splitsville from the pc to the mac. If I can do that I can use it to spread the image of the folder I need to transfer across 14-15 floppy discs, burn each of them to a cd on the pc with transmac, load them onto the mac and then reconstitute the image and convert it back to a folder.
thanks for trying to help.

    Alternatively, partition your internal HD and dual-boot it. Do note that you have to reboot to switch back and forth. You can't do it by logging out and back in.

    I am getting strange results on my Beige Tower running 9.2.2 (G3-366 MHz, 640 Mb ram, 6 Mb Vram, 30 gig Maxtor ATA HFS+, PCI ATI Rage 128, PCI XClaimPRo, PCI USB - not used, AppleTalk 1.1, AppleShare 3.9.2, CarbonLib 1.6, QuickTime 6.0.2).

  • Can you run SCO UNIX platform apps on 10.4?

    Just wodering if it is possible to run SCO UNIX platform apps on a Mac?
    I have 2 applications designed to run on SCO UNIX and I would be interested to see how they work.
    I don't know anything about the us of UNIX BTW
    G4   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    Hi Atlantean,
       It's certainly not possible to run a precompiled binary and SCO isn't exactly known for their open source community spirit. They'd probably sue you. I'm a little surprised that you'd mention them in polite company.

  • Can't run a 10.7.4 VMWare VM on MBP with Retina

    I have an old 13" Aluminum Macbook and a purchased copy of Lion that I created a VMWare OSX 10.7.4 VM with that I could use for work.  I had it running fine on my 13" that runs 10.7.4.  I just got a new MBP writh Retina display.  It came with 10.7.4 pre-installed.  I loaded VMWare, moved my VM over and tried to start it up.  I got the login screen, but right after login, I get an error "The CPU has been disabled by the guest operating system. Power off or reset the virtual machine."
    I submitted a VMWare ticket and they said this is caused by a mismatch between the OSX10.7.4 builds on the two machines, and that the one on my old macbook is unaware of the ivy bridge architecture on the new Macbook.  They said this doesn't normally occur because Apple generally releases one build for all macbooks.  As a point of reference, the build on my Retina is 11E2620, while on my 13" it is 11E53.
    VMWare said that it should be cleared up once 10.7.5 is released.  They had also heard from other clients that they had been successful in talking with Apple and getting a patch for the older Mac that would make it aware of ivy bridge.  So I believe I would apply the patch to both the host and guest on the 13" (although I didn't get into that level of detail with the resource). 
    Anyway, I got Applecare with my retina so I submitted an Apple support ticket and talked to someone at Apple.  They checked with their supervisor and basically said they didn't know anything about a patch and if there was one, I would have to get it from VMWare.  They did agree that this should be clared up with 10.7.5 but again, pointed it back to VMWare. 
    So now I have Apple and VMWare pointing fingers at each other, I still have a non-working VM for my new machine (I can still run it on my old machine thankfully) and too much time has been spent on that VM to completely recreate it on the new Macbook.  Anyway, not having the VM on my Retina really cuts down the amount I can use it.  So if anyone has any more details on how to get this supposed patch, OR if anyone has any detail on when 10.7.5 is likely to be released, please let me know.  Thanks,
    -David

    I can't answer the specific error message, but I can tell you a better way to do what you're asking.
    on pathToScripts()
        tell application "Finder" to set parentFolder to (path to me) as text
        set scriptsFolder to parentFolder & "Contents:Resources:Scripts:"
        return scriptsFolder
    end pathToScripts
    There's no need to use the Finder here at all. 'path to me' is a standard command that doesn't require Finder input.
    Secondly, if you're looking for a resource in the application's bundle then you should use 'path to resource' rather than 'path to me' + some hard-coded string.
    As a result your first three lines of script could be reduced to:
    set CloseBrowsersScriptPOSIXFile to path to resource "closeBrowsers.scpt" in directory "Scripts"
    set theResult to run script file CloseBrowsersScriptPOSIXFile with parameters {"uninstaller"}

  • I've build an executable which include Vision Development VI;s. Can I run this exe on another machine wich does not have Vision software without installing some license.

    I seem to get an Vision License not active error  on the the machine I'm trying to run it on.
    So again. I have two machines. Both have LabView (8.5) One has the Vision Development Software with License/activated.
    The second does not. But I would like to build an exe on the first and run it on the second.
    Is this possible with requiring a second license?
    Thanks

    you need a vision runtime license, they run about 300 USD each  (I am pretty sure the vision kits don't come with any runtime licenses... which seems silly, but eh, it happens)

    If you're using python2.7 libraries there's an error with the tutorial
    This line is incorrect:
    application = webapp2.WSGIApplication([('/', MainPage)], debug=True)
    The correct line should be:
    app = webapp2.WSGIApplication([('/', MainPage)], debug=True)
    If it is asking for an "app" attribute, your code helloworld must have this attribute.

  • Can I run more than one app at once, I.e.: keynote and a point of sale app?

    See above..

    If they support multi-tasking then yes (you can't have two apps side-by-side on the screen if that is what you want). Just double-press the home button to bring up the taskbar which displays open and recently used apps and tap the one that you want to switch into - you will need to make sure that both the apps that you want to switch between are open/recently used first, otherwise they won't appear on the taskbar.
    Also not all apps support multi-tasking (they have to be coded to support it), those that don't will just appear on the taskbar due to having been recently used - so if you re-open them from there they may not resume from where you last were.

  • I got this app in the AppStore for free. When I put in my password to confirm my purchase, it made 2 app icons and one of them I could delete. But the other one I can't like it's an app that apple made? And it still says installing? How do I get rid it?!?

    Please I don't want the app to waste gigabytes!!!

    iPod touches or any iDevices from Apple sync only to one computer. If you sync to a different computer, all your music will be replace with the music from the new computer's iTunes. If the music were purchased from iTunes, you can re-download them again otherwise the music on iPod touch will be deleted. Do you have iTunes backup?
