Creative Suite 2 installation freezes Intel-based Mac

When you install Creative Suite 2 on an Intel-based Mac with the QuickTime 7.1 update installed, your Mac freezes.
Apple has now posted the QuickTime 7.1.1 update which resolves the freeze. Boot into Safe Boot mode by holding down the Shift key when restarting the Mac, then select Software Updates from the Apple menu and download and install QuickTime 7.1.1.
Reboot into normal mode and install the Creative Suite.

  • You can't open Dictation & Speech preferences because it doesn't work on an Intel-based Mac.

    I cannot open or use Dictation & Speech in System Preferences. When I try to open it I get the error:
    "You can’t open Dictation & Speech preferences because it doesn’t work on an Intel-based Mac."
    I have tried repairing the disk from the installation CD and repairing the permissions and I have also tried re-installing Mountain Lion but the feature still does not work. Any ideas?

    Open Finder, press Option key and select Go > Library. Open Preferences and delete com.apple.systempreferences.plist. If you can't open, do a backup, format and install

  • Flash MX 2004 and the Intel-based Macs

    Due to the demise of my previous computer I just bought one
    of the new Intel-based Macs. Most of my programs seem to work fine
    but Flash MX 2004 is crashing shortly after startup. Do I need to
    upgrade before I can use Flash again?

    I have the same problem launching Flash 2004 on an intel imac 24 inch. All the other programmes of Studio 2004 launch apart from Flash. FYI Flash 8 installs and works fine.
    I recollect that someone suggested writing a script(?) in Terminal to solve a similar problem with programmes crashing on launch.

  • Are Intel based Macs more prone to Viruses than PPC based Macs?

    I do not now, nor have I ever run A-V software. Nor have I ever had an issue with any kind of viruses, malware, spyware etc. However, I read an article in our local newspaper recently that even Macs, particularly Intel based Macs, are vulnerable to viruses. So, as a newcomer to the world of Intel Macs, the question suddenly takes on new significance and urgency. I do plan to run Windows on my MBP (as soon as I get the computer and set it up), and will likely use an emulator like VirtualBox. I have run VPC on my Pismo for years, and viruses have never been an issue, albeit I used Windows only for short periods at a time. So, is this a legitimate concern? What specific measures do I need to take, if it is, indeed, a concern?

    As TD states, your Windows installation running as a virtual machine is as vulnerable as any Windows PC. If you won't be accessing email, and limit your web browsing, you'll be somewhat safer - but, I'd definitely recommend running AV software even so. There is quite a bit of malware/spyware that will install itself upon visiting some websites, and it can be easier than you think to run into one of those sites (for example, accidentally leaving out a 'p' when typing apple.com into a browser address bar redirects you to another site - 2sale.com; that one seems innocuous, but that's not always the case).
    Note that VMware comes with a free 12-month subscription to McAfee VirusScan® Plus, so for the time being there's no need to purchase additional AV software, just make sure you keep McAfee running and up to date.
    On the up side, if your virtual machine does become infected, the problems will remain confined to the virtual machine. Should you need to, you can roll back to a previous snapshot, or, if you set it up as a virtual disk virtual machine (i.e. VWware is not accessing a Boot Camp partition, but rather the virtual machine is stored as a file in the Mac OS), then the virtual machine is backed up along with your other files as part of your routine backup strategy.

  • Working Java IDE for Intel-based Mac?

    Apparently Rosetta has big problems with the Java virtual machine, so my beloved Borland JBuilder crashes on startup (on my iMac Core Duo), despite working beautifully on my PowerBook.
    Looking for a replacement, I found this apple website:
    http://developer.apple.com/tools/eclipse.html
    which enthusiastically endorses an IDE called "Eclipse" for Java development on the Mac. So I downloaded it, but it too crashes on startup. Is Apple planning to fix these fairly severe Rosetta problems? Otherwise, are there any reasonable Java IDE's out there that Intel-based macs are capable of running?
    (Wolfram -- the company that makes Mathematica -- has also noticed problems with Rosetta's handling of the Java VM: http://support.wolfram.com/mathematica/systems/macintosh/osx/macintelrosetta.htm l )

    Hello Mike,
    yes you are right.
    The Bug #98889, deals with the Eclipse on Intel-Mac problem, since June, 8th 2005 and it works great.
    I took the https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/attachment.cgi?id=33023 attachement (SWT 3219) and placed
    - eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.swt.carbon.macosx.ppc_3.2.0.jar
    instead of
    - eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.swt.carbon.macosx.ppc_3.1.1.jar
    That was all I have to do.
    After the installation, you got an eclipse which runs at an incredible speed I never saw before - even on Windows-native machines at work!
    Remark: There will also be an org.eclipse.swt.carbon.macosx.ppc_3.2.0 directory extracted which you should put into the plugins - directory.
    I use a stable 3.1 version with this patch and everything works fine.

  • CFMX on Intel based Mac, MacBook Pro, iMac

    As of yet, I still haven't been able to get this to work,
    although other's have had success, and other's such as myself are
    struggling with getting the JRun4 and getting it to use the correct
    version of Java.
    Anyway, maybe these links will help someone else, and
    hopefully Macromedia/Adobe will come out with a version of CFMX
    soon that will run natively on an Intel based Mac using it's own
    server.
    Maybe people can post below whether or not they have been
    able to get this to work.

    I'll post later everything I've tried and at what point the
    installation has failed. For the most part, JRun4 is unable to
    create the Java Virtual Machine, and when I've tried to run the
    shell commands referenced, nothing happens, or when I try to change
    the default Java config, it doesn't seem to do any good.
    Guess I'll be waiting for the next release, which I hope will
    run natively on this plateform. In the meantime I hope this helps
    someone else get it going.

  • Error "You can't open... ...on an Intel-based Mac."

    Hi.
    On the System Preferences app. When I try to open Mail, Contacts & Calendars (preference pane), it gives me the following error:
    "Preferences Error
    You can’t open Mail, Contacts & Calendars preferences because it doesn’t work on an Intel-based Mac."
    I already re-installed OSX Mountain Lion, and it didn't fix anything.
    I noticed however, that the actual preferences file: InternetAccounts.prefPane has different permissions than the rest of the .prefPane files.
    - All other .prefPane files have "System" as the first user, however, my InternetAccounts.prefPane file has "Me" (myself) as the main user, and not the System user.
    Question:
    A. Does someone have a solution for the problem in general?
    B. Can someone check their InternetAccounts.prefPane file and let me know the preferences. The file is located at: System/Library/PreferencePanes/InternetAccounts.prefPane
    C. If, your InternetAccounts.prefPane file has System as the first, or any user, can someone let me know how to set System as a user? Hopefull this will fix the problem.
    Thanks to anyone trying.

  • Is there a way to view Windows Media Files on the Intel based Mac's?

    Think I ran into the same issue. I suspect MS will
    have to upgrade MP to Universal Binary before it
    works correctly. I'm not holding my breath....
    That's good because Microsoft has discontinued all support for WMP on OS X. They recommend you download Flip4Mac instead.

  • Virtual PC not compitable for intel-based Mac?

    I saw that on the Mactopia website. I just bought a new Macbook with 1GB Ram and 80 GB Harddrive. I think that it is intel based and I am planning to purchase a copy of Virtual PC 7 but then i went to Mactopia and read: "Note: Virtual PC does not run on Intel-based Macs." on this page of Mactopia
    http://www.microsoft.com/mac/products/virtualpc/virtualpc.aspx?pid=virtualpc
    is this true? if it is then of course i won't go through the hassel of buying and returning. Please give me an answer, Thanks!

    Bootcamp is a program here on the Apple site that they made to allow you to install windows on your intel mac. It adds a windows partition to your drive and helps you burn a windows driver CD that has to be installed after windows is installed. To install windows xp you must have a windows XP disk with SP2 on it. It does not take long and does not hurt your apple install. Just do a search on this site and it will take you to the page you need.

  • Is there any workaround at all to run PM7 on a Intel-based Mac?

    Dear friends:
    I have recently purchased a MacBook Pro and, before I did, I asked some questions to Apple about the possibility of having the software pre-installed, specifically, BootCamp and Classic, receiving the computer with a partition already made and requirements of the sort. Basically, Technical Support told me that they were not able to perform any of these tasks, although the person I have spoken to said to me that I could run PageMaker (I think he mentioned an update). After a couple of days researching, it appears that I have been misinformed. Unfortunately I have several hundreds of PageMaker files in archive, and I cannot afford to lose the ability to open them directly (I am a radical InDesign fan, I have used it since v.1.0). Does anybody know any workaround at all to run PageMaker 7 on a Intel-based Mac? Maybe some software to emulate the Classic? Maybe an upgrade or a third-party application? I cannot believe that MacOS supports Windows (in fact, I have installed Windows Vista) better than its predecessor Mac OS 9.2.2.
    Thanks a lot for your time,
    Eduardo Guarniz

    >Does anybody know any workaround at all to run PageMaker 7 on a Intel-based Mac?
    Well there are two ways. the best way is to have an old machine that boots OS9. If you don't have one, buy one. I found one for about $69 a few years ago I'm sure they are even cheaper now.
    There is some software called SheepShaver its supposed to run Classic apps on a Mactel. With all the problems of running PM in Classic (I would never use PM for production in Classic) Its probably even worse running on SheepShaver.
    Be smart get the old machine.

  • External hard-drive only for Intel-based macs?

    I have an iMac G5 powerpc (without the camera). Today I bought a Western Digital: My Passport- Essential 250GB external portable hard-drive. I will be using this to back-up my iMac's hard-drive. Before I opened the packaging, I decided to see if Apple.com sold this product in their online store. They do, but one of the 'one-star' reviews posted on this product stated that "it will only work with Intel-based macs." I can't seem to find any more information about whether or not this statement is correct. I was hoping somebody could help me out and let me know the answer. If it doesn't work with the powerpc imacs, do you know of a brand or model that does? I plan on leaving it in the packaging until I know for sure just in case I need to return it to the store. Any help is much appreciated! Thanks!

    You can order them online from [macsales.com] and have them sent to your college. You can look in Staples or go online and see if they carry LaCie - the OWC ones are only sold on macsales, as far as I know.

  • You can't open Mail, Contacts & Calendars preferences because it doesn't work on an Intel-based Mac.

    I updated my Mac to Mavericks and after that, I can't open the Mail, Contacts and Calendar preferences.
    Every time I try, I get the following message:
    "You can’t open Mail, Contacts & Calendars preferences because it doesn’t work on an Intel-based Mac."
    I tried this workaround from the Mountain Lion thread (https://discussions.apple.com/message/21303574#21303574) but it didn't worked.
    Further I deleted all files in the Library Preferences folder, but it didn't helped also.
    Can anyone help me please?

    Hi Michael,
    I had the same problem. And I found a fix.
    I noticed that on a different system running Mavericks without any problems, the preference pane isn't called 'Mail, Contacts & Calendars' anymore, it's now called 'Internet accounts'. The fact that it's still called by the old name on your system, means it somehow wasn't replaced while updating to Mavericks.
    So the cure is pretty easy:
    On a different Mavericks system, go to /System/Library/PreferencePanes/ and copy the file InternetAccounts.prefPane. Take it to the system you're trying to fix, and paste the prefPane file in the same directory. Reboot, and it should all work fine. At least it did in my case.
    Cheers
    Niels
