Director MX 2004 on Mac OS X Tiger 1.4.7

Hi
I'm a Director-developer on Windows
Now I have to port some my projects on Mac
I've just PC available with Intel processor
I could Install Mac OS X Tiger 1.4.7 on it, but now I have a
problem to
install there a trial of director MX 2004 (sit-file)
As I understand, Director was developed for Power PC
Processors, and my Mac
OS X runs at Intel
From documentation I know, that such applications can be
started under
Rosetta emulator
But I do now find that emulator on my system and can not
start the
installation
Can any one help me with this?
Is Rosetta supported on Tiger 1.4.7 and how can I made
Director MX 2004 run
on that system?
Any help will be appreciated
Sorry for my Incompetent questions, but I'm totally new on
Mac OS
Thank you in advance for any answer
game_dev

Thank you Andrew
I'm one step further, but still stucking
I've installed Stuff expander, extracted installation files
from .sit and
installed trial of macromedia director
But then when I'm trying to start application per Icon
"Director MX 2004"
following message is showed
"You cannot open the application 'Director MX 2004' because
it may be
damaged or incomplete"
I Used Apple+I but do not see and option "Open using rosetta"
- can this be
the cause of my problem?
Any help will be appreciated

  • Director MX 2004 Mac OS X numeric keypad

    Hi,
    I am new to this so please excuse the basic question. I would
    like to use the numeric keypad for number entry in Director MX 2004
    on a Mac. It doesn't seem to work because I think the keys are
    assigned to shortcuts. The only keys that work are 2 and 9. Is
    there any way to turn this off so I can use the keypad for typing
    numbers? Number lock doesn't seem to do anything and there doesn't
    seem to be anywhere to change the settings in preferences. Thank
    you in advance for your help.

    This might be more trouble than it's worth in authoring mode.
    You probably need to install a blank menu to trap these events with
    your own menu system (see 'installmenu' int the help).
    In a projector or shockwave however, I believe this issue is
    gone. In authoring you can use the standard top row of the keyboard
    instead.

  • Trouble installing Office: 2004 for Mac

    Hello. I hope someone can help me. So here's the deal.
    I've been using Office X for some time. I bought Office 2004 for Mac (Student Teacher Edition) from a friend who upgraded last May. I got the manual and the Product ID with it. I never got around to Installing it, but my hard drive failed recently and Apple replaced it, obviously without any of my stuff on it.
    So I decided if I have to reinstall all my software, I'd go ahead and use the Office 2004 as I don't think the Office X is fully compatible with Tiger (because of it's age and a few issues I've had with it over the past two years). Now, here's the problem. When I tried to install it, the product ID didn't work as the Product/CD Key. I called my friend and she no longer has the box or the Product Key, and of course, the Product key from my Office X doesn't work.
    So now I'm stuck. Is anyone familiar with Office 2004 for Mac? Is there any difference between the "retail" version and the Student/teacher version that would prevent the Product Key from one with working with the other? Would anyone be willing to share their Product key with me, to install the software so I can get back to work?
    I've already lost 4 days in time (and have to recreate 2 days worth of work that was done after my last file backup) and don't have time to deal with this stuff.
    I may be contacted directly at robertben1 at comcast dot net.
    Thank you in advance for any suggestions/help.

    Sorry, that would be illegal.
    Here's a couple of alternatives though...

  • TROUBLE with Mac OS X Tiger install on G4 iMac 1.25 GHz

    Trying to install retail copy of Mac OS X Tiger 10.4 onto an iMac G4 1.25 GHz running OS X 10.3.9. The DVD shows up on the desktop when inserted, but after clicking install and waiting for the reboot, the system just loads OS X 10.3.9 and NOT the 10.4 setup.
    Inserting the CD and holding "C" during startup yields the blinking system folder with the question mark.
    Apparently no firmware updates are needed and the iMac meets the requirements. Any ideas, suggestions, or workarounds are much appreciated.
    I also have a MacBook Pro (Intel, of course), and was wondering if there was any way to use it to install the PPC version of 10.4 on the iMac. (Can I boot the iMac as target disk mode on my MBP and install the PPC version of Tiger onto it that way? I don't know if that will work with the intel/ppc hiccup.)
    Someone please tell me how to get this working!

    Yes, unless you have the original install disks that came with the computer ( with iLife included) you will have to buy iLife. However, iLife 11 requires an intel processor and snow leopard. If you don't meet those requirements you should try to find an older version. ( usually you can find something on amazon.com)

  • Mac OS X Tiger installation quiz!

    All,
    I got a resetting message with my PowerBook G4 12" and rebooted sevearal times but the message kept coming again. I decided to do the following steps:
    a. run a hardware test and it passed complete one
    b. re-install the Mac OS X Panther with the install CD after erase and format my HD
    c. re-install the Mac OS X Tiger with the CD came with the book.
    d. the resetting message with four different languages still showed up when I tried to reboot system every time. I surely can try the safe boot but how I can get my Powerbook back to normal? Should I send it back to Apple center for repair?
    Thanks,

    Just why were you wanting to install Panther if Tiger came with your machine?
    Unless the Panther installer is the retail version there are any number of problems trying to install an OS from a restore disc from another machine. It just does not generally work.
    The restore disc(s) that came with your machine are what I would suggest you use to attempt a clean installation. It would be a good idea to initialize (format) the drive (and would not hurt to "zero" it) to get the remnants of anything that might cause a problem off of it.
    Is your machine still under warranty? If doing the above does not straighten things out it would probably be best to call AppleCare and see just what they want to do.
    Good Luck

  • Can I upgrade my PowerBook G4 from Mac OS X Tiger to Snow Leopard?

    I am running Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.11 on my PowerBook G4. Can I upgrade to v10.6 Snow Leopard? Just asking because I never upgraded to v10.5 Leopard. Are there any adverse impacts of doing this for my PowerBook G4?

    Hi jjhron;
    As Stedman says you can't go to Snow Leopard with your G4 PowerBook but if your PB meets the specs for Leopard you can upgrade to that instead.

  • Can I install Mac OS X Tiger 10.4 on a dell Optiplex Gx280?

    Hi! I have a couple of questions which I can't seem to find the answers too.
    1) Can I install Mac OS X Tiger 10.4 on a Dell Optiplex GX280?
    2) Can I take the HDD from the aforementioned Dell and place it in my Power Mac G4 Digital Audio? If so, will Tiger still be on it?
    3) If I can't install Tiger on my Dell, can I rip the DVD drive out and use that to install?
    4) HDD's don't have to be Mac specific, do they?
    Thank you for your valuable time,

  • Error msg. after installing word 2004 for mac

    I have installed my Word 2004 for Mac on my brand-new iMac. It works fine, but every time I open it, I get the following message: "An unexpected error occurred while trying to load the Microsoft Framework Library." Anyone know what this means and how I can get rid of it? Many thanks.....Macquest

    Apply all updates for Office. There should be an item named "Microsoft AutoUpdate" in your Applications folder. Run the app and let it download and install the updates it finds. If you're multiple updates back, you'll need to repeat the process after each update until it tells you that the software is up to date.

  • Word 2004 for Mac "Notebook"

    Hi,
    I'm a new Mac user. I've been using Microsoft Word 2004 for Mac's "Notebook" feature to take notes and record the audio for my class lectures. In the last week, my MacBook has locked-up three times when trying to stop the audio recording at the end of the lecture. Twice, I was able to recover the text, but not the audio. This morning, I was only able to recover part of the text. This morning, for the first time, it also locked up while recording and I lost both text and audio. It has typically locked-up as soon as I press "stop."
    Could I be doing something wrong?
    Thanks,
    Jake

    Since Word is not an Apple product, you'll probably want to use a forum dedicated to Microsoft's Mac products such as <http://www.microsoft.com/mac/community/community.aspx?pid=newsgroups> rather than an Apple forum.

  • Word 2004 for Mac documents not read by pc when sent by Email

    Documents composed on my imac in Word 2004 for mac, cannot be read by PC user who receive them by email (unknown format).
    However, if I put the same document on a memory stick and put that into a PC, the PC will read it! Very frustrating as PC users cannot see my Word 2004 for mac documents when sent by email. Any solutions?

    Many thanks Templeton Peck. So simple, it has solved my problem. How come my local Mac. technician did not suggest this? Thank you again.

  • Word 2004 for mac purchase

    i just purchased word 2004 for mac from apple store online. am i to assume that i will be able to open word docs through my ISP that are attached to my emails ? and can i download only the specific apps (i.e., word, exel, etc.) that i want to use? as you can tell, i am not familiar with this. thank you!!

    If you purchased the entire Office 2004 package, you can opt not to install applications you don't want. Word 2004 will open Word documents attached to emails.

  • Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac - missing options

    Hello!
    I've got some trouble with Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac:
    I realized that there are some options missing in the menu bars, such as "Insert > Cross-reference", etc.
    Today I reinstalled the whole thing including all updates (11.3.7). No success.
    However I noticed that on my admin account the options are existent but still not on my "everyday account".
    Therefore my question:
    How can I remove user specific preferences for Office? I guess this might solve my problem.
    Thanks to anyone who has some hints for me!

    Since Office is not an Apple product, you'll probably want to use a forum dedicated to Microsoft's Mac products such as <http://www.microsoft.com/mac/community/community.aspx?pid=newsgroups> rather than an Apple forum that focuses on compatibility issues between Macs and Windows.

    Hi, hopefully you guys can help me out, I just
    purchased a G5 iMac to replace my aging dell desktop,
    and now i'm more or less completely os x dependant
    (I've had an ibook for a few months now). Anyway, I
    have a few questions:
    1. Does anyone know of a (free) mail notifier tool,
    that will alert me when I recieve new pop3 mail? I
    used to use AIM for this in windows
    The built in email program does sound an alert for new messages.
    2. Anyone know of a good (free, again) IRC client?
    iChat works well.
    3. I noticed earlier that my screen was flickering,
    it seems to have subsided for now, but is that normal
    to encounter in a new display? It wasn't really bad
    flicker, but I could see it.
    No idea.
    4. I leave my desktops on 24/7x365, will that be a
    problem with this iMac? Display shuts off of course
    after 30 mins
    You could set the iMac to go to sleep after non use. My Macs are
    always sleeping when not in use, waking them up takes seconds.
    Unlike windoze, never knew if it would be locked up or not.
    5. Should I get the extended warranty? I'm usually
    against them, but I am expecting this computer to
    last me at least 3 years (for $1300 it better!)
    before I upgrade, as I got that much out of a Dell
    and from what I understand, Mac's do not age nearly
    as fast as Windows pc's.
    It is well worth the cost. Never know what might happen. Also
    it is good insurance for future upgrades. I traded in my G4 tower
    purchased two years ago for 75% of what I paid for it. Apple care
    transfers, giving the buyer the remainder of your warranty.
    Thank you for any help,
    -Evan
