Does ARD 2.2 run on Intel iMacs?

I'm trying to install ARD 2.2 on a 17" Intel iMac and I'm getting an error after the install when I try to open the application. (The installation process runs fine and it tells me that the software was installed properly).
http://www.xid-renrag.com/wow_screenshots/ARD%20error.jpg
I tried restarting the computer and still get the same message. Is it because it's an Intel machine that it's not working, or is there something else I can try?
Thanks.
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Try this:
- Ensure ARDAgent.app is not running. In most
instances, this just means ensuring that Remote
Desktop isn't enabled in System Preferences ->
Sharing
- Navigate to
/System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ in the
Finder, and Get Info on ARDAgent.app. Check "Open
using Rosetta".
Hope this helps.
Awesome! That did it! Thanks a ton Dave.

Does FCE HD run on intel imacs?

There are comments on other forums that FCE HD won't run on intel-based Imacs. Any truth, workarounds? I'm considering an Imac, and they come with FCE installed (not sure if HD) as an option, so I can't understand why this problem would arise. The complainers say it needs AGP card that is not present on the imacs.
imac 20" Mac OS X (10.4.3)

FCE-HD runs perfectly fine on Intel based Macs. If you are purchasing a new Mac with FCE-HD pre-installed, you will get FCE-HD version 3.5 which is the correct version.
What you heard about is a minor problem that some people had when they tried to run FCEHD version 3.0 on an Intel Mac. They got the AGP error message but you could always ESC from the error message and FCE would run.
FCEHD version 3.5 is the correct version for the Intel Macs.

Does FCP 4.5 or 5 run on Intel iMac?

Thinking of buying the iMac 2.16GHZ 24inch Intel Core Duo Mac or the iMac 2.4GHZ 24inch Intel Core 2 Duo iMac.
I have FCP 4.5 but might be able to buy FCP 5. I will not be gettingn FCP 6 anytime soon. Will either of FCP 4.5 or 5 work on the intel iMacs?

5.1 will for sure, not sure on anything previous to 5.

Macromedia Flash MX Professional 2004 not running on Intel iMac

SIGH. This is added to the enormous list of problems I've had with my new Intel iMac.
I'm a pro user and am confused as to why Dreamweaver MX will run but I can't get Flash MX 2004 Professional to run. It starts up, loads fonts and what not, shows a blank timeline for the new document as it should and as soon as the GUI for Flash comes up ka-boom it crashes.
Then I get the general "unexpectedly quit" notification.
Anyone else having this problem? Is Rosetta a synonym for Lucifer?
This is what the error says if it's of any use to anyone:

I'm on a Mac and don't had this problem. But I do watch for
video issues on this site and haven't seen this – I might
have missed a few, but most Flash users are on Windows so I think
it would be common if it were something wrong with Flash in
general.
Then again, what do I know? Because the more I'm thinking
about it the more I think I might have had this problem. But I
really can't remember. And sorry to say the solution was to not use
the import function to edit my videos.
You also might want to just see if it is the format of the
file you are importing. Perhaps a different source will work
better? I'm just grasping at straws here.
If you have many of these to do and a budget I suggest
getting a third party tool like Squeeze. Otherwise if you have some
third party editor you might want to use that.
Good luck!

FCP 4.1 won't run on intel iMac

Hi,
I've just recently purchased Final Cut Pro 4.1... yeah I know it's not the most recent version, but I will be upgrading to studio eventually, and have installed it, and when I try and launch FInal Cut Pro, nothing happens.
Any thoughts.

it is Michael,
as I tried to explain, v4.1 is not Intel compatible,
you should be using v5.1 and above to take advantage
of your new Mac's processor ... you can try the
Rosetta trick (which attemts to run the application
by using the PowerPC emulator) but as has also been
pointed out. it might not work.
bottom line. if you bought v4.1 specifically for
your new Intel Mac, then you bought the wrong
version
that said, I'd try the Rosetta trick before I gave up
hope... and worst case scenario is having do the
crossgrade which happens to be a really sweet deal.
Thanks Andy, I understood what you were saying, and I will be crossgrading to 5.1 eventally.
Fortunatey I have an Mac Mini so I can pracitse with that, I had a feeling before buying 4.1 that it woudn't work on the Intel machine, but you can always hope.

Can you boot / run an Intel iMac from an external hard drive? Built-in drive is dead.

Hello, Have a six? year old, 2.16 GHz Core 2 Duo iMac that has a dead internal HD. The drive has 16,000 hours on it (per SMART Utility) and no longer shows up on desktop. Disk Utility, Disk Warrior and SMART say it's toast. I'm backed up to Flash drives and Time Machine but need a month before I can get a new computer... Don't want to run this one off TM back-up. Question is, can I add an external drive, use TM to make it my start up drive until then... Thanks, dp

Yes you can, you're going to install OSX on it (from the Snow Leopard disk) but it will work.

Native windows program run on intel imac?

It was rumored before the product launch that this was possible.
thanks in advance

No it is not possible at this time.

20" Intel iMac 2.66GHz & Blu-Ray Clarification

Can someone give me the short answer on this?
To what level, if any, does my 2.66 GHz 20" intel iMac support Blu-Ray DVDs?
Thanks.
P.S. - Yes, I searched, but the few topics I discovered were sparse in their answers and none that I found gave a simple, yet decisive answer to my question.

True, it'll probably advise you that it knows there's a disc but it can't read it. No Mac is supplied with any kind of Blu-Ray drive. If you were to buy an external it would only work for data discs and couldn't play movies.
Rightly or wrongly Apple appears to be heading down the route of downloading/renting HD movies not buying them on physical discs.

Does StudioMX run ok on Intel iMac?

I'm thinking about buying a 20inch Intel iMac, but don't know if I can use Macromedia's Studio MX on it okay. I know that Dreamweaver (and presumably Studio) 8 runs okay on it, but I'd rather not have to upgrade just yet.

No it doesn't seem to, I had to upgrade to Studio 8

I have an Intel iMac running OSX 10.6.8. I would like to use Final Cut Pro 10.1. I know I need OSX 10.9 for this. Can I run both 10.6.8 and 10.9 on the iMac ? I do not want to convert completely to 10.9 because of my existing software. Thanks for any help

It would depend on how old your IMac is, how mush memory you have, it it can be upgraded by OWC, etc. I have a 2006 Macbook Pro and would NOT put Mavericks on it or espeacially FCP 10.1.1 on it because the most memory it can have is 4 GB. You need at least 8 GB to work with Final Cut Pro 10.1.1. IMHO.
I would try to find a copy of Final Cut Express perhaps.
Does this answer your question?

Intel iMac running boot camp success

I am looking at replacing my HS PC Lab and I am debating if I want to replace the labe with 17" iMac Intel machines and running boot camp on the iMac to get to my windows applications. Is there anybody out there that has purchased the Intel iMacs and run boot camp for windows applcations for the entire school day? If so, what is your success rate? Are you running Windows 2000, Windows XP Pro, or Windows Vista? I have heard of schools doing this for 1 hour a day and are happy with it.

Hi there.... my 5 cent is:
I use OSX for as much as possible.
I use bootcamp with Windows XP for gaming, and get "native" PC speed. With the present version of Bootcamp I have had no issues at all. The iMac just works as a PC (but looks so MUCH better)..
I use Parallels desktop with Windows XP for all other "non gaming" windows applications with only a small impact on speed. All other for me however means only a piece of GPS software for my PocketPC - not available in OSX version....
If you want style and versatility - go for the Mac

Early 2006 Intel iMac, does not boot, randomly crashes

Hi everyone,
So, I bought a used 2006 Core Duo Intel White iMac off of a friend earlier last year. The iMac has been running like a champ, I installed Snow Leopard on top of Leopard and it hasn't given me any problems until much recently.
I installed Bootcamp, secondary to the desire to play a little Team Fortress 2 and during the Bootcamp installation it actually randomly crashed. Weird, it's never actually done that, but since that time it would crash and would not power up for anywhere from half an hour to half a day. At first, it would only crash during Windows Vista, but now I found it crashing during OSX with the same problems powering up.
During the crashes, the computer will not respond to mashing on the power button, and sometimes, I will hear the high-pitched whine of the boot and the light in the bottom right of the iMac would go on and then crash at the gray screen. At other times, it will boot right into OSX and then crash with the same problems.
*Things I have tried:* Resetting the PRAM, resetting the PMC, deleting Windows Vista and removing the Bootcamp partition, Disk Utility on the few times the machine booted with a clean bill of health.
Results: Resetting the PMC seems to help rebooting, but does not prevent other crashes. Neither the PRAM reset or removing Windows Vista has helped with the problem.
*Things I will do:* Send the machine to Genius Bar and suck it up
Impressions: I strongly believe it to be a power supply/motherboard issue. I ran RAM tests and the RAM itself seems to not return any errors. If these are in fact the repairs I need, then it's beyond what I can actually repair on the machine, so to the Apple Store it will go.
I am however looking for any input into other people's problems like mine or any other thing I can do to test/bench the system (when it doesn't crash). I dig the machine and I thought I got a good deal, I am looking for any other insight you may provide. Also, if anyone has a good place to buy parts to test/fix Intel iMacs I am handy inside a computer, tinkered with PCs throughout my life. Thank you in advance!

Strange,
It’s beginning to look as though we have similar iMac characteristics. Here’s a couple of other things I did that you might try. Each of these seemed to improve the stability of my Mac.
1. One of the differences between a normal boot and a safe boot has to do with what fonts are loaded. Since my system seemed to run fine in “Safe Mode” it was suggested to me to run Font Book and verify all fonts. I did that and it found numerous (90+) minor font problems and 1 major problem. I deleted all fonts that showed any problem at all. I didn’t expect fonts to be a significant source of problems, but after doing this step and #2 and #3 below, my Mac began to behave better
2. Over time a lot of junk builds up on your Mac – caches, languages that are loaded with applications but not needed, logs, etc., etc. There are a lot of programs that will do clean up of these files. I really don’t know which ones are best, but I came across one called “CleanMyMac” and decided to buy and download it. When I ran it, it found a ton of stuff during its Scan which I then Removed.
3. Reset the SMC
4. Here’s an interesting one. I came across many comments about the importance of cleaning out the air in/out ports on your computer. I have a small compressor that I used to blow through the ports on my Mac. A not-insignificant cloud of dust came out of my Mac when I did that. Any dust sitting on components will act as insulation, retard heat dissipation, and cause those components to run hotter. After doing this, I swear, iStat began showing temps 10 deg F cooler than before.
5. I downloaded SMCFanControl. After a little trial and error, I set the minimum speeds as follows: Optical Drive fan at 1000rpm, Hard Drive fan at 1400rpm, and CPU fan at 1400rpm. This brought temps down another 10 deg. F at least.
I haven’t had a crash or hang of my system since.
Here’s the main temperature readings I’m seeing now:
CPU A: 91 deg. F (33 deg. C)
Graphics Processor: 93 deg. F (34 deg. C)
Hard Drive: 96 deg. F (36 deg. C)
Memory Controller: 93 deg. F (34 deg C)

I just upgraded to Mavericks and now my Intel iMac is running more slowly. There have been no other changes. What's up with this???

This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to gather information about the state of your computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it on this page. However, you should be cautious about running a program at the instance of a stranger on a public message board. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them.
Here's a summary of what you need to do: Copy a line of text from this web page into the window of another application. Wait about a minute. Then paste some other text, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. Details follow.
You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in your browser, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign ($) or a percent sign (%). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for your password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator rights.
The test may take up to a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. There wiil be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress until it's done. Wait for the line "[Process completed]" to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report your results. No harm will be done.

IPhoto Tray not available on an Intel iMac 24" running OS 10.5.1

I have two computers in house. One is a PPC iMac 17" running OS 10.5.1 and iPhoto 5.0.4. With this computer I can print a 4 x 6 photo on an HP Photosmart C6180 all in one printer using iPhoto.
My other computer is an Intel iMac 24" running OS 10.5.1 and iPhoto 7.1.1. On this computer I cannot print a 4 x 6 photo on the same printer. The reason I cannot is that Paper Tray selection option does not function on this computer. One is supposed to click on the box showing "iPhoto" and select the option " Paper Type/Quality" Which should then reveal the options of "MainTray" and "Photo Tray.
Clicking on "Paper Type?Quality" does make the Option appear, the selection box remains on iPhoto.
This problem can only be solved either by Apple or HP. I have e-mailed HP numerous time but only after extensive investigations on my part have I finally really understood the problem.

Had you done a search in this forum for either "Paper Tray" or "HP Photoshmart"? This has been discussed many times previously and there may have been a solution that someone has come across.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

How can i run OS 9 (classic) on an intel IMAC G5 running Leopard 10.5.6

Hi,
I run a program that requires classic, i have been running a G4 laptop on the side of my imac, but i would really like to just use my iMac as a 'one does it all' scenario. Does anyone know how i can run the Classic mode as a background to my Leopard system, ie in conjunction?
many thanks.
Keith

If you have an Intel iMac, you can't use Classic.
If you heve a G5 iMac, you have to install 10.4.11 or earlier on a Firewire external hard drive, or a separate partition after partitioning your hard drive for both 10.5 and 10.4.11. This article tells you if you have a G5 versus an Intel iMac:

Partitioning is described here, and will erase the entire contents of your hard drive:

You will also need to use the original iMac G5 install and restore discs to install Mac OS 9 on your 10.4.11 hard drive/partition following these directions:

See my FAQ* on possible alternative Mac OS X compatible titles for your Mac OS 9 applications:
