Do Classic apps work on new Intel models?

I'm ready to buy a new computer, but I am confused about whether the classic OS9 applications I need to be able to use from time to time will work at all with the new models that have Intel chips. Do I need to look for an older model that still uses the G5 chip? I don't really understand how this "classic OS9" environment is supposed to work, and how it is impacted by the new chips. Maybe you can point me to somewhere I can read up on this stuff.

Hi George;
May I welcome you to the Apple Discussion Forums.
The short answer is no as far as OS 9 on Intel.
So if you have a real need for OS 9 then you are force to stay on the older hardware.

Can't Get Win Zip Or Win Rar To Work On New Intel imac.......

Hi guys,
As the title suggests really.
Not sure if I am doing something wrong during the installation process or whether both software programs just arn't compatible with the new mac's yet.
I am downloading the program then I just cant find a setup file to initiate the install. When I have installed stuff on the mac normally installation is automatic (i.e asks if you wan't to install).
Any advice would be great or if there is a more suitable zip program for the mac then I would loke to know.
Many Thanks
Nathan

Hi guys,
In response to the question I realise that windows software and files are not compatible with mac.
The software I was trying to install clearly stated mac os x 10.4 compatible but just didn't install, so perhaps it either wasn't actually os x 10 compatible or just maybe not intel.
Either way I now know that Win Rar and Win Zip are not actually OS X compatible apps, so in light of this which is the best one to install as there are a couple of suggestions here.
Many thanks for your quick responses, help and patience with me.
All the best, Nathan.

Will PS apps work with new MS sideloading program

I came across this page ( xxx.aidanfinn.com/?p=16266) outlining the changing sideloading policies MS will be enacting on May 1st. Firstly, may I say "thank you!" to MS for remembering that small developers are important ;) . so for those who haven't
seen it, here's a brief summary from the page:
" The ability to distribute custom apps via Enterprise Sideloading is added to Windows 8.1 Pro via the Windows 8.1 Update.
The license for Enterprise Sideloading is free to those larger customers that are enrolled to an applicable large customer volume license agreement.
Anyone else can get the Enterprise Sideloading license for an unlimited number of devices for $100 through an Open volume license program."
There are a few caveats and requirements, but all in all this is great news as it looks like $100 will allow smaller developers like me to be able to sideload custom apps. Again, thank you MS! So the question is will I be able to install Project Sienna apps
via this method? Are the sienna executables hard wired to look for developers licences or other 'gotchas' that will prevent me from using this tool to create exe's that I can sideload under these new policies? Thanks
slowly getting my mind around .NET...

Well, the day has come and there is no readily available information on the MS Open Licensing site as of this writing. Could someone please share a link to the program info or a link to a purchasing site? thanks

Sandisk extreme firewire reader not working on new MBP models(unibody))

hey all,
so I have the sandisk extreme firewire CF reader since 2008. It works great on my 15" Macbook Pro2.2 (C2D 2.16ghz)
Recently(actually in march) I purchased the new thunderbolt 15" MacbookPro(2.2GHz).
At first the firewire card reader works fine on the new MBP. But somehow in May it stopped working(running SL). The CF card wouldnt mount, in System Profile it wouldn't even display the device. Even after I installed Lion it still wouldnt work. The only way for it to work is to daisychain it onto a firewire external harddrive and hook it up to the macbookpro.
It's super weird. I've contacted sandisk's web support(WHAT?! only web support but no phone, for such a big company?!), they said it was use the card-reader was due to power issues and told me to contact Apple to resolve the issue.
I later on tried the card reader on numberious mac's. Turns out that most Unibody machines wont work with it.(the weird thing is, when i just got my Thunderbolt unibody, it worked perfectly fine, for a while) But back on my old Macbook Pro2,2 from 2007(which is currently running OSX 10.6.8), it's works like a champ.(going to install 10.7 Lion and see how it goes)
And at the meantime I donno whether it's the card readers issue or not?(sandisk wouldnt replace the thing for me)
So anyone got any experience or insight of the situation?
thanks
PS.
To make things worse, Sandisk discontinued the extreme firewire reader,(they do have the expresscard reader, but the new 15" dont have a expresscard slot)
So now we're left with those stupid slow USB2.0 card readers while the size and the speed of those flash memory cards are getting faster and bigger each day.

I'm pretty much giving up on this issue.
I just found a very rare new lexar fw800 reader online for $80. Hope it works.
fun fact: the SanDisk fw card reader works on the MacPros,new MacMini's/server, even the thunderbolt display w/ the fw800.

Is gonna work the new Intel Iris Graphics with After Effects in GPU mode (ray traced) in a future?

I want to know if it will be posible... I don't want to think that lots of users (with intel iris MacBook's) are out of this option.

No.
The ray-traced 3D renderer is built on top of the Nvidia OptiX library, which requires CUDA.

Classic apps on the Intel. Why not?

Hey, sorry, you probably get this all the time. But I really wanna get some forbidden classic apps going on my fresh new Intel Mac. I already have a bit of a handle on why I can't do this. But does one circumvent this mofo?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
I don't run them, I gave everything to the person that bought my G-3 system!
Apple's article:

Yes have a look at these links:

I used migration assistant and my ethernet cable to move data and apps from my 5-yr old Intel-based iMac to my brand new Intel-based iMac running OS Lion. The old machine was running OS 10.5.8. Not all my files transferred (or I can't find them). Help

I used migration assistant and my ethernet cable to move data and apps from my 5-yr old Intel-based iMac to my brand new Intel-based iMac running OS Lion. The old machine was running OS 10.5.8. Not all my files transferred (or I can't find them). I've seen recommendations to select the old computer in System Preferences, but that didn't work. Help. Thanks!

IMO, wrong choice. Start over, using a FireWire cable and following the steps in Pondini's Setup New Mac guide.

Need to use my FCP 5 fast. Will it likely not work on the new Intel iMac?

Hi,
I purchased a standalone version of FCP 5 about 6 months ago. I am thinking about getting a new Intel-based iMac, and I need to use the program fast (so I can't wait for Apple to send me that 5.1 upgrade). How likely is it that FCP 5 will still run on the new iMac?
Thanks!

It does work, although "not supported" i.e. if you have problems with it it's not Apple's problem.
As stated in numerous threads posted in this forum, hit the Escape key when you get the error message upon opening the App.
Not believeing everything you read on the Apple site but believing what's written here is kind of a hypocritical statement isn't it? Believe me = Bwa Ha Ha Ha! (pun intended, Studio x)
And FWIW I think you'll go far in life! And that means a lot coming from me.

Will old custom 30 pin car interface work with new classic?

My faithful 60GB 2004 iPod Photo just went to hard drive heaven after 10 years of faithful service, while sitting in the car continuously in weather from -10 to 110 degrees. Thank you, Apple for all the tunes!!
I still have a custom 3rd party interface that was installed in my 2004 Toyota Camry and connected to the stereo/NAV system. This was back when these interfaces were still new pieces of tech - and I paid a few hundred dollars for the device and its installation.
This device powered the iPod Photo and fed its audio (and some control functions) to the stereo/NAV system.
The manufacturer name on the connector coming out of the hole in the dash drilled for it says "Peripheral."
So... ...I plan to keep the car a few more years and I need a new iPod.
I know some of the the pinouts on the 30 pin connector have changed over the years, and my question is if there's a reasonable chance this interface will power a new iPod Classic and play its audio feed correctly?
If it won't work, I'd prefer the added functionality of an 64GB iPod touch over the Classic (Apps, camera, just enough storage, etc.), even if I have to power it via a 12v power port and find another way to get sound into the car system.
But if it will work, I'd prefer to just be able to keep using the interface I have and buy a Classic, as I have my apps and a camera, etc. on my phone already.
Other details:
1. I haven't looked into getting sound into older cars without AUX inputs for years, and the last ways I remember were FM transmitters and cassette tape adapters that plugged into the headphone jack. So I don't know if there are other ways these days. And, no, the car does not have a cassette tape player.)
2. If the interface will transmit power and sound, the control functions are less important - as I usually controlled the iPod with its own controls. But I suppose there's a chance the interface could interfere with these??
Any comments or advice are much appreciated.

46 (and counting) views... ...and no opinions?? Somebody? Anybody....?? Oh well.... ...it is an obscure question.
Anyway, I did talk to Apple Care and they suggested I go to an independent Apple vendor with a used Classic in stock and see if they'll let me plug it in to check if it works, and that may be possible in my area. So will likely "try to try" that if I don't get any other input.....

Hi. I habe one old ID and now i have one new ID. The old one is bad , because the Email not working. But i hav a lot of Apps and i want to copy this apps in my new ID. How can i do this?

You don't. Apps are permanently tied to the ID used to purchase them. Instead of creating a new ID, change the primary email address on your existing ID.

All Adobe Creative Cloud apps fail to work, creating new user Home folder fixed it.

We have Adobe Creative Cloud device licenses. I had a user contact me yesterday with these problems.
Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 - error opening, "could not complete your request because the file is locked do not have necessary access permissions or another program is using the file photoshop"
Adobe Illustrator CC 2014 - error opening, "the operation cannot complete because of an unknown error [cant]"
Adobe InDesign CC 2014 - would crash when opening, no error given
These same apps worked when logged in as a different user.
None of these worked:
I tried removing all kinds of user Adobe preferences, Application Support files, etc.
Deleted ~/.adobe
I fixed permissions on the user's home folder.
Renamed user's Home/Library to LibraryBak.
Uninstalling and reinstalling CC.
What finally worked was creating a new user and copying the contents of the broken user home directory over, except for Home/* level hidden files. (eg: .adobe, bash_history) Basically I just copied over the visible folders and used the Terminal to copy of the hidden ~/Library folder.
Does anyone have any idea what the exact cause was? What file/folder could've been deleted to fix this instead of the longer route I took?

This wasn't answered and I see that it's still not resolved.

Printing from Classic App to new HP printer

My new HP 6988dt will not print from a Classic App. Is there a Classic printer driver that will produce a file that could then be printed? (Something like the "Save as PDF" option in OS X print dialog.)
Pete

Greg,
LaserWriter 8 requires an active Appletalk but I can't make it active - it keeps saying I have to be connected to an Appletalk network. I have Appletalk turned on in Network preferences (using ethernet) since I attempt to communicate with an iMac on occasion but that doesn't.
I posed a similar question in the Classic forum and received info about a shareware Classic print driver called PrintToPDF which does produce a pdf file. This requires the extra step of printing the pdf file but at least I can get to the printer.
Thanks for your help. If you have a suggestion as to how I can get the LaserWriter 8 driver to function, I would like to try that route as it might be more direct.
In answer to Jerry's suggestion, I not only looked for a Classic driver, I emailed HP tech support. The world is moving too fast; I went looking for an update for my Scanjet 3670 and find HP isn't providing any support or even acknowledging it's existence except in archives.

Will my printer and scanner work with the new intel mac?

My first post.. so I hope i am in the right place! (was in wrong place last attempt!)
I want to buy the new intel...but I would like to know for sure if it will work with my scanner and printer.
Printer is Epson Stylus Photo 2100 and the scanner is Microtek ScanMaker 4900.
I have emailed both Epson and Microtek... phoned Epson.. and I still do not know the answer.
The responses were
"At this point in time with have been given no information on whether our printer drivers will work or not....".
"Yes it will work with OSX 10.4"
"As you know this new intel chip has just hit the market. This particular configuration is in the alpha stage of testing. As of now there has not been any reports or customer correspondence of any concerns."
I have been scanning these posts and it seems that only the operating system is relevant? If anyone could help I would appreciate it. I am finally able to replace my old, old, well loved G4 but am worried I will make the wrong decision.

Thanks all for the helpful comments. I am getting closer to going out and buying the intel. As for the Canon printer... its not really an option for me, since the Epson cost me more than the computer will! But I will keep it in mind for the future. And do you think this applies to digital cameras as well Tomzo? I have been considering buying my first digital.. and thought the pentax might be best, since it apparently can use the lenses from my film camera.
Thanks again all..I will keep checking the apple site list and the web sites as suggested by you.
