Feedburner no longer supported by Tumblr, alternatives?
I have a podcast at http://okay-saturday.tumblr.com and was using feedburner to get my podcast up onto iTunes. Yesterday I got an e-mail saying Tumblr no longer supported syndication through feedburner, so I quickly tried to look for an alternative. I found feedpress and redirected my feed to that, and only realized after I set everything up that they don't automatically add enclosure tags like feedburner did (at least I don't think so, anyway), so my podcast no longer has episodes on iTunes. This is the feed now (and on top of that it's only showing 10 posts at a time) http://feedpress.me/OkaySaturday
I really don't care about statistics or anything. Most people seem to actually download our podcast through Tumblr and not even on iTunes, I just want the podcast to be available on iTunes as an option for those who like to listen to it that way. As I'm pretty sure Tumblr doesn't allow you to edit the XML of your blog so I can't add the enclosure tags myself, is there any other RSS feed service that does this? Thanks!
Since my last message I was able to restore everything to my feedburner feed...which DOES still work with Tumblr. Now I'm kind of confused about what Tumblr meant in that e-mail to me. Here's the e-mail they sent:
Feedburn notice
Just writing to let you know that we no longer support syndication through Feedburner. Regular old RSS still works just fine, though.
Want to update your RSS feed preferences? Go to settings
I find the whole thing very strange because I also don't understand how Tumblr could not work with feedburner anymore either. There's a feedburner option in settings, maybe that's what they mean. All you do is type your feedburner URL in the box and it does everthing else for you. Maybe it just means this option will be gone soon and you'll manually have to direct your Tumblr feed to feedburner in the html of the blog (or maybe I'm just confused and don't fully understand how RSS feeds work).
Ether way everthing is still there, and it seems crazy to me too but Tumblr really doesn't have an option anywhere for enclosure tags. Thanks for your response though, if somehow feedurner does stop working with Tumblr I'll try moving to blogger instead!

Did I miss something in the fine print? I installed Lion and and come to find out, I can no longer open any Word documents or Excel spreadsheets as they are no longer supported (apparently because they are PowerPC apps). Seriously?!?!?!?!! What are my alternatives?
Hi Mary and Matthew
You might find it helpful to "try before you buy" - there is a 30 day free trial offer for Office for Mac 2011, accessible from M's .com website.
You may be able to use this period to open and resave your old documents in a format that enables you to switch instead to using Apple's iWorks apps moving forward.
I initially intended to do something similar, but ended up buying Office as it provided an easier way (for me, at least) to continue working with years worth of old emails, letters, spreadsheets and other documents (from my PC days) without risking damage to their integrity, formatting, etc. -

GarageBand no longer supports podcasting - Alternative Apple Product
Hello,
Since upgrading to Maverick and the latest GarageBand software, I see that GB no longer supports podcasting.
Is there an alternative software that Apple recommends?
Thank you,First, software for UPS is an extra, not a necessity. Unless the computer is unattended when a power failure occurs, the UPS will function perfectly normally and user intervention is needed only if the outage continues until the UPS battery is depleted. Most Leopard OSs will take this in stride, especially if journaling is turned on, and nothing worse that a forced shutdown will occur. If the user is absent, then one can assume that there are no ongoing activities anyway.
Also, I would check with the large Linux user database for opensource solutions to Belkin's lack of support. I never had much faith in Belkin support anyway. I am sure that there will be much opensource solutions to using a Belkin UPS, but I would also suggest moving to APC who are a real UPS company, unlike Belkin who attempts to be the jack of all trades, master of none. APC specialized in UPS boxes, and I have never had an issue with them in over a decade of use. -

I recently uploaded 10.8, but I have a number of VALUABLE old files which I can no longer read because "power PC applications are no longer supported. How can I retrieve them"?
Here is a post I assembled for another with a similar problem:
Unfortunately you got caught up in the minor miracle of Rosetta. Originally licensed by Apple when it migrated from the PowerPC CPU platform that it had used from the mid-1990's until the Intel CPU platform in 2006, Rosetta allowed Mac users to continue to use their library of PPC software transparently in emulation.
However, Apple's license to continue to use this technology expired with new releases of OS X commencing with Lion (and now Mountain Lion). While educational efforts have been made over the last 6 years, the fact is that Rosetta was SO successful that many users were caught unaware UNTIL they upgraded to Lion or Mountain Lion.
Workarounds:
1. If your Mac will support it, restore OS X Snow Leopard;
2. If your Mac will support it, partition your hard drive or add an external hard drive and install Snow Leopard into it and use the "dual-boot" method to choose between your PPC software or Lion/Mt. Lion;
3. Upgrade to an Intel compatible versions of your software, or find alternatives that will open your data files;
3. Install Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels:

~ POWER PC APPLICATIONS NO LONGER SUPPORTED ~
Hello there
I am running on Mac OS X v 10.8.2
I have a licenced copy of MS Office and have not had a problem using it, until a recent Mac 'update'!
Since then, whenever I try to access it I get the following message:
"You can't open the application 'Microsoft Word' because PowerPC Applications are no longer supported"
How do I resolve this Please? Any ideas?
Cheers
DerekWorkarounds:
1. Revert your Mac to the older version of OS X;
2. Partition your hard drive or add an external hard drive and install Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) and use the "dual-boot" system to run Word 2004;
3. Upgrade to Office 2011 or use alternative programs; or

I just upgraded my MAC from OSX 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard and then to Mountain Lion 10.8.2. When I try to access my Microsoft Office for MAC (2004 edition) files I am getting a message "can't open Office because Power PC applications are no longer supported.

Use any number of free alternatives to your nearly decade old version of MS Office.
Consider
LibreOffice (donation-supported)
NeoOffice (free)
OpenOffice (free)
In addition to the above I also recommend Apple's Pages ($19.99). I use OpenOffice and Pages and have been completely Microsoft - free for years. Life is better without Microsoft. -

Just upgraded my 2009 iMac (3.06 Ghz, core 2 duo $GB 1067 Mhz DDR3) to Mavericks OSX 10.9.5 and my HP6100 printer no longer works, when I try to reload the software it says PowerPC apps no longer supported. Printer says the software was improperly installed. Is there a way to use my HP6100 Printer with Mavericks or do I need to go back to Mountain Lion or Snow Leopard?
It's not clear whether your printer is included in the Apple list - there is an Officejet 6100 and a couple of other types. Go to the page linked to above and use the browser search for 6100.
I'm afraid HP are notorious for not supporting older printers - I had the same problem. Probably they hope you will buy another printer (I did, but it was a Canon). I did look on HP's site and couldn't see a driver - you could give it a try (make sure you have the exactly correct printer name):
http://www8.hp.com/uk/en/support-search.html?tab=1#/qryterm=HP6100&search_search type=s-002
Alternatively ou could try Gutenprint (open source software):
http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php
I found it would indeed drive the printer, but the colour dithering wasn't very satisfactory and the duplex printing bolt-on wouldn't work. However as Gutenprint is free it's worth trying to see if it's any good for you. -
I am trying to install Final cut pro 5 studio V1.0.1 (2005) on OS X lion. I get a message "You can't open the application final cut studio.mpkg because power pc application are no longer supported. My computer is New. Is their a link I can go to get tech support?
You won't find any help at tech support ... other than telling you the facts: Intel processor Macs require FCP 5.1 or higher. FCP 5.0 and earlier were written for PowerPC processor Macs, long before Apple switched to using Intel processors.
And then there's the issue of the OS. OS 7 will allow FCP 7 (and sometimes even FCP 6) to work OK, but versions earlier than that have spotty operation on Lion.
Here's a brief history of full FCP versions and recommended OS compatibility:
* = requires PPC ** = works with both PPC and Intel *** = require Intel
FCP 1.0* OS 9
FCP 2.0* OS 9
FCP 3.0* OS 9, OS 10.1, OS 10.2
FCP 4.0* OS 10.2, 10.3
FCP 4.5* OS 10.3
FCP 5.0* OS 10.3 (OS 10.4?)
FCP 5.1** OS 10.4, 10.5
FCP 6.0** OS 10.4, 10.5, 10.6 (OS 10.7?)
FCP 7.0*** OS 10.6, OS 10.7
FCP-X*** OS 10.6, OS 10.7
Essentially, you have a newer Intel processor Mac with a new OS and very old, incompatible software. You might be able to find a used version of Final Cut Studio 3 on sites like ebay or craigslist as it is no longer offered by Apple as an upgrade.
Alternatively, you could purchase and download FCP-X, but it is an entirely different application, sharing virtually nothing with previous versions of FCP.

I upgraded to mountain lion from snow leopard, but now some of my applications do not work, most specifically I would like to use my photo studio, but now it tells me that powerpc is no longer supported. Does anyone have any fixes to this problem? I would really like to continue to use software that I already have! Thank you for your help!
PPC software will not work in Mountain Lion because there is no longer any Rosetta emulator. You will only be able to run your older software by creating another partition on your hard drive on which you can install Snow Leopard. It need not be a large partition since you can still keep your files and programs on the main partition. You could also install Snow Leopard on an external drive from which to boot the computer.
To resize the drive do the following:
1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
After the main menu appears select Disk Utility and click on the Continue button. Select the hard drive's main entry then click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
2. You should see the graphical sizing window showing the existing partitions. A portion may appear as a blue rectangle representing the used space on a partition.
3. In the lower right corner of the sizing rectangle for each partition is a resizing gadget. Select it with the mouse and move the bottom of the rectangle upwards until you have reduced the existing partition enough to create the desired new volume's size. The space below the resized partition will appear gray. Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed. (Note: You can only make a partition smaller in order to create new free space.)
4. Click on the [+] button below the sizing window to add a new partition in the gray space you freed up. Give the new volume a name, if you wish, then click on the Apply button. Wait until the process has completed.
You should now have a new volume on the drive.
It would be wise to have a backup of your current system as resizing is not necessarily free of risk for data loss. Your drive must have sufficient contiguous free space for this process to work.
After you create the new partition boot the computer from your Snow Leopard DVD and install Snow Leopard onto the new partition. -
I have a problem with the CD player plays some species, others give me this letter no longer supported PowerPC
Educational software suffers from having been written many years ago, but the financial market is not such to give the publisher much incentive to update the software.
The problem for you is that Top Notch 2 with ActiveBook was written and released by Pearson back when Macs utilized the PowerPC CPU platform. In 2006, Apple migrated the Macs to Intel CPUs, but released their Operating Systems with an invisible translation program, Rosetta, so that the user could continue to use their existing library of PowerPC applications and take time to update them as needed.
The problem arises in that Apple no longer continues to update Rosetta for inclusion in Lion and now Mountain Lion, so that your CD-ROM cannot be executed on your Lion Mac.
Since Pearson looks unlikely to rewrite and release an Intel version of Top Notch 2, you must find a workaround that will play your CD-ROM and allow you to continue utilizing your ActiveBook.
You do not indicate which model of Mac you are using. If you upgraded it to Lion from Snow Leopard, you have these workarounds:
1. Revert to Snow Leopard
2. Partition your hard drive or add an external hard drive and install Snow Leopard into it. This will allow you to "dual-boot" into Snow Leopard when you need access to run Top Notch 2. You would then have to "dual-boot" back into Lion when you needed access to those features required by Lion.
If you purchased a new Mac that came with Lion, you only have one workaround available to run Top Notch 2:
3. Install Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels
[click on image to enlarge]
There is an easier way to run your Top Notch 2 in Parallels if cost is not a significant factor for you. You must purchase Snow Leopard Server from a third party souce, such as eBay, which when sold by Apple was $499 or more. I now see that it can be purchased on eBay for as little as $51. Parallels allows for easy installation of Snow Leopard Server into Parallels.
If cost is a factor, then use the link above the photo to follow my instructions on how to install Snow Leopard client ($19.99 from Apple) into Parallels and achieve the same result.
Lastly, you could purchase a used Mac that will allow Snow Leopard to be the boot OS X installed (wth the optional Rosetta installed). But this seems like an expensive alternative just to run one piece of software; and subject to hardware failure without notice or recourse.
