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

  • Do these programs run on the Intel Imacs

    I wanna get the intel imacs, but i just wanna know if these programs will work on them.
    -Photoshop cs2 or the entire creative suite
    -Dreamweaver
    -Micorsoft office suite
    -Flash 8
    -Firefox

    There's a special Flash plug-in supplied with the Intel-Macs because the distribution version of Flash is not Intel-Mac compatible. The other programs will all run via Rosetta. There is a universal-binary version of Firefox (it's not the standard Firefox distribution, rather a Deer Park variant.)
    Read my user tip on migrating:
    A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs
    If you are migrating a PowerPC system (G3, G4, or G5) to an Intel-Mac be careful what you migrate. Keep in mind that some items that may get transferred will not work on Intel machines and may end up causing your computer's operating system to malfunction.
    Rosetta supports "software that runs on the PowerPC G3 or G4 processor that are built for Mac OS X". This excludes the items that are not universal binaries or simply will not work in Rosetta:
    Classic Environment, and subsequently any Mac OS 9 or earlier applications
    Screensavers written for the PowerPC
    System Preference add-ons
    All Unsanity Haxies
    Browser and other plug-ins
    Contextual Menu Items
    Applications which specifically require the PowerPC G5
    Kernel extensions
    Java applications with JNI (PowerPC) libraries
    See also What Can Be Translated by Rosetta.
    In addition to the above you could also have problems with migrated cache files and/or cache files containing code that is incompatible.
    If you migrate a user folder that contains any of these items, you may find that your Intel-Mac is malfunctioning. It would be wise to take care when migrating your systems from a PowerPC platform to an Intel-Mac platform to assure that you do not migrate these incompatible items.
    If you have problems with applications not working, then completely uninstall said application and reinstall it from scratch. Take great care with Java applications and Java-based Peer-to-Peer applications. Many Java apps will not work on Intel-Macs as they are currently compiled. As of this time Limewire, Cabos, and Acquisition are available as universal binaries. Do not install browser plug-ins such as Flash or Shockwave from downloaded installers. These versions are not universal binaries and will not work on Intel-Macs. The version of OS X installed on your Intel-Mac comes with special compatible versions of Flash and Shockwave plug-ins for use with your browser.
    The same problem will exist for any hardware drivers such as mouse software unless the drivers have been compiled as universal binaries. For third-party mice the only current choice is USB Overdrive. Contact the developer or manufacturer of your third-party mouse software to find out when a universal binary version will be available.
    Also be careful with some backup utilities and third-party disk repair utilities. Disk Warrior (does not work), TechTool Pro (does not work), SuperDuper (newest release works), and Drive Genius (untested) may not work properly on Intel-Macs. The same caution may apply to the many "maintenance" utilities that have not yet been converted to universal binaries.
    Before migrating or installing software on your Intel-Mac check MacFixit's Rosetta Compatibility Index.

  • Firefox 4 Does Not Run on Non-Intel G5 iMac

    I have a G5 iMac/Power PC/NON-Intel. I keep getting alerts to upgrade to Firefox version 4. Clearly, that's impossible because version 4 doesn't run on a non-Intel G5 iMac. Is Firefox going to leave people like me in the lurch, or is there an update in progress for iMacs that can't support Intel-associated software?

    There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox

  • New Google Earth does not run on my 24" iMac

    This morning I downloaded and installed the new Google Earth 4.0.2 beta on my 24" iMac. GE loads but crashes as soon as I attempt to navigate to any where. Now I am trying to download the previous version 3 from Google but it just downloads the newest beta and because I told the new version to replace my old version I have no version. Any body else having the same problem? I have 2.16, 2gig, 7600, 500MB iMac.
    24" iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    It runs fine here. Since you are having the same problem on the new machine, and the machine you migrated from (sounds like you migrated your Home folder) why don't you try this:
    1. Quit Google Earth
    2. Navigate to ~/Library/Preferences (Note: "~" is the Short Name for your user account, which can be viewed in System Preferences --> Accounts)
    3. Move the file 'com.Google.GoogleEarthPlus.plist' to your Desktop.
    4. Relaunch Google Earth and see if the problem persists.

  • External drives that can boot up Intel iMac

    I have just bought an Intel-based iMac.
    My previous computer was an iMac G5 (PowerPC). If I needed to boot up from an external drive, it had to be a Firewire drive.
    Does anyone know if the Intel iMac is the same? If something were to happen to that system and I needed to boot up from an external drive, does the external have to be Firewire, or will USB 2.0 work as well?
    Incidentally, this Intel iMac has one Firewire 800 port. I read a review (although it could have been from last year) that if you have Firewire 400 peripherals, you won't be able to plug them into the FW 800 port unless you have an adapter. Did I read that right? I would have thought that they're simply backward compatible and work just as a USB 1.1 device would if plugged into a USB 2.0 port (the device would just run at the lower 1.1 speed). So where does one get these adapters (if needed)? Does the Apple Store sell them?

    or will USB 2.0 work as well?
    Yes.
    Did I read that right?
    Yes. The ports are physically different.
    So where does one get these adapters (if needed)?
    Click here for an example of what's needed.
    Does the Apple Store sell them?
    Yes. Click here.

  • 20" intel iMac is having bad week, "Sleep" hiccup, now can't find system

    Hi all,
    I'm running a 20" intel iMac, purchased new in January 2008. It's been a trooper.
    A handful of days ago, it developed an odd glitch. The fan would "power down" like what one hears when the computer would go to sleep -- but this would be in the middle of use. It would immediately come back up. No screen dimming. On most occasions, this would take down open and in-use programs (for example, Safari).
    Today it again did this, and shortly thereafter, the system "froze" (cursor was movable but no reaction from any open program; no visible activity from anything running). I rebooted by holding the power key for 10 seconds, waited for some time (±15 minutes), then came back to power it on. It powers up, fan spins up, white screen with apple and the spinning wait icon (not the beachball, but the "clock lines" one normally sees at restart). It does not progress beyond this point.
    In short, I see this as two troubles that I need help with.
    1. The system was damaged/corrupted during the last startup, and the drive can no longer see it.
    2. There is a problem with the fan, a possible overheating issue, or perhaps an issue with a power module/SMC. The fact that programs are crashing with this makes me somewhat skeptical of this being merely "dusty fan" or even common overheating.
    I'd like an idea of what steps to take next, either to diagnose what is wrong with my iMac, or to bring her back to health.

    HI,
    Unfortunately, it sounds like the startup disk needs replacing.
    Boot from your Mac install disk and run Disk Utility.
    Insert your install disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
    Go to Installer menu and launch Disk Utility.
    Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
    Select First Aid in the Main panel.
    *(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)*
    Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
    If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
    If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
    When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
    Select your start up disk and click Restart
    While you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window. Where you see Capacity and Available. *Make sure there is always 10% to 15% free disk space*
    If you cannot boot from your install disc, try booting in Safe Mode
    What is Safe Mode
    If the hard disk appears to be ok, you could try Resetting the SMC

  • Intel imac startup hangs on "None of your preferred networks are available" dialogue

    Hi everyone
    Running a 2006 Intel iMac, 10.6.8
    I have recently run into the "grey screen at start up" issue that is documented here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570
    I ran every routine in this article, up to and including a disk repair off the OSX install disk and this step seems to have fixed the  grey screen problem. However there is still one major problem unsolved that the article does not cover.
    Boot up runs normally and allows me to get into my account (there are 4 accounts on the machine). However i am then getting a dialogue screen "None of your preferred networks are available" with a list of local wireless networks (mine and neighbours).
    I have had this dialogue screen at times in the past and have simply been able to click cancel to bypass it. However the system is now hanging on this dialogue. If I try to click Cancel or Other the dialogue box changes position and the remainder of the desktop darkens, as if an action is taking place, but nothing happens beyond that.
    I have seen many other discussion posts on the "Preferred Networks" dialogue, but only one which describes the system actually hanging on this dialogue - that was in 2007 and the user was going to reformat the HD - he/she didn't post the outcome.
    This iMac is normally connected to the router by Ethernet cable. I have tried booting with and without the cable attached. I have tried booting in safe mode. Neither of these have had any effect.
    Can anyone recommend any other fixes I can try? Or is a complete reformat the only option?
    Thanks in advance for any help, hugely appreciated.

    Thanks Roam - however I think my situation is different.
    In the case you refer to, the user was able to cancel the "preferred networks" dialogue and then proceed normally to system settings to apply a fix to stop this dialogue reappearing in future.
    My problem is that the Mac *completely freezes* on this dialogue box - clicking Cancel simply does not work, I can't access any other menus or applications.
    I forgot to add that the spinning progress wheel appears intermittently on the "preferred networks" dialogue box, suggesting that some sort of routine is trying to run, but never successfully.
    Thanks for your reply nevertheless, really appreciated.
    Anyone else out there with any experience of this?!
    Thanks in advance

  • Connect Select 360 to Intel iMac...

    Hi -
    How can I connect a LaserWriter Select 360 to an Intel iMac? I have an existing ethernet network, but the 360 has no eithernet connection on it. Is it possible to go from a serial port connection or a scuzzy (sp?) port to an ethernet network (i.e. is there an adaptor cord from one to the other)?'
    If it is possible, will I run into a print driver problem (i.e..will the print driver for the 360 run on an Intel iMac)?
    Thanks in advance for any help with these questions...

    G4 867, Intel iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Hi, Grant -
    Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. I got side tracked on some things that needed immediate attention.
    As it turns out, I already had an AsanteTalk box on hand. After setting it up, I was able to "see" the Select 360 in the Printer Set-up Utility and make it active, but I still can't print to it.
    I've checked all the cables and they are O.K. As for the AsentTalk box, it was O.K. last time I used it (a couple years ago), and if it wasn't O.K. at this time, would the Select 360 have appeared in the Printer Utility on the Printer List?
    I think I'm further along than when I started, but no cigar yet. LOL
    Any further ideas?
    Da Kid
    The LaserWriter select 360 is a Postscript level 2
    AppleTalk/LocalTalk printer. Your Intel iMac can use
    AppleTalk-over-Ethernet to talk to printers like that
    one, and the drivers are built-into Mac OS X.
    The missing piece is a converter or "bridge" between
    the two wiring schemes. This can be accomplished with
    a stunt-box (either of two varieties) or by running
    Apple's free LaserWriter Bridge software on an older
    Mac that has both Ethernet port and a round MiniDIN-8
    serial Printer or Modem port.
    The Farallon EtherMac iPrint LT or Asante
    AsanteTalk are available used, and the AsanteTalk is
    also available new. Most of these are connected with
    PhoneNet boxes and phone cords, and a terminating
    resistor is plugged into the last open socket.
    There are also a few stunt-box variants on the used
    market that use slightly different schemes, such as
    ending in a Printer-8 cable connection. The only
    disadvantage is that a box that has a printer cable
    can only support one device, while PhoneNet ones can
    support up to 8 older Macs and/or printers on the
    LocalTalk side.

  • Imovie 6 on intel imac

    Having used Imovie 06 a bit on an earlier Imac, I was suprised at how different it was to use and the limitations of Imovie 08. I have since read a bit about people preferring to use Imovie 06, and the fact that it is now a free download. A few questions then:
    1. Will Imovie 06 run on an Intel Imac?
    2. Where is the best place to download it from?
    3. Do I need to get rid of Imovie 08 before I download 06, or can I have both on the Imac?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Will Imovie 06 run on an Intel Imac?

  • USING FACETIME ON INTEL IMAC

    DOES FACETIME WORK ON AN INTEL IMAC?

    My wife has it on her MBP to FaceTime me on my iPhone and vice versa. Works well. Does cost $.99 though. I also have it on my MBP (only have to pay once if same apple ID) and we can FaceTime on our laptops. You could iChat too, but you need two screen names. FaceTime seems quicker.

  • DIY installs on intel imacs?

    I ran across this page:
    iMac G5 DIY (Do-It-Yourself) Instructions
    which shows some stuff you can do to an iMac without voiding the warranty. Does this also apply to intel imacs?
    24" iMac 2.33GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   15" PowerBook G4, 20" iMac 2.0GHz

    Hello,
    Absolutely not.
    Apple canceled that service option, and has moved-on to requiring you to bring your computer in for servicing if you want to do anything other than upgrade the memory on the Intel Macs.
    The previous program was a support nightmare for Apple. Constant issues with people not performing the repairs properly, and parts going back and forth and huge delays in receiving parts because there were tons of them going out and coming back and few to offer to new people with problems.
    So, it just didn't work very well.
    If you don't want to void the warranty on your Intel Mac, don't do anything other than upgrade the memory.
    The design is completely different. So, even if you try, you'll find yourself working with a huge mess of parts inside the computer. It's not designed for easy servicing anymore.
    I hope this helps.
    Let us know if you have other questions.
    P.S., if you'd like, go ahead and click the "Helpful" or "Solved" buttons on any of the posts / replies above if you feel they were helpful or adequately answered your question.

  • 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.

    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?
