Flip4Mac Supports Intel-Based Macs Now?

I stumbled onto the Wikipedia article for "Flip4Mac" and read an interesting bit of information:
As of July 15, 2006, version 2.1 of Flip4Mac now supports Windows Media Player 10 content, which was previously inaccesible to Macintosh users. This new version also supports Intel-based Macs.
I went to the Flip4Mac site but found nothing about it. Is it true or is this just a hoax. And where can I get the latest version?

The article seems a bit premature. There is also a Universal version of Flip4Mac, that is a Beta. I don't know if it supports WMP 10 as yet. I use the free part to view in QuickTime and Safari.
Flip4Mac Beta
TAV uploaded this Beta version to this free server and provided us with the link!

Is there a way to view Windows Media Files on the Intel based Mac's?

I tried downloding WMP for Mac and also Flip4Mac but I could not install either because it said the programs don't support Intel based Mac's. I thought they would automatically run under Rosetta. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
MACBOOK PRO Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Think I ran into the same issue. I suspect MS will
have to upgrade MP to Universal Binary before it
works correctly. I'm not holding my breath....
That's good because Microsoft has discontinued all support for WMP on OS X. They recommend you download Flip4Mac instead.

Is there any workaround at all to run PM7 on a Intel-based Mac?

Dear friends:
I have recently purchased a MacBook Pro and, before I did, I asked some questions to Apple about the possibility of having the software pre-installed, specifically, BootCamp and Classic, receiving the computer with a partition already made and requirements of the sort. Basically, Technical Support told me that they were not able to perform any of these tasks, although the person I have spoken to said to me that I could run PageMaker (I think he mentioned an update). After a couple of days researching, it appears that I have been misinformed. Unfortunately I have several hundreds of PageMaker files in archive, and I cannot afford to lose the ability to open them directly (I am a radical InDesign fan, I have used it since v.1.0). Does anybody know any workaround at all to run PageMaker 7 on a Intel-based Mac? Maybe some software to emulate the Classic? Maybe an upgrade or a third-party application? I cannot believe that MacOS supports Windows (in fact, I have installed Windows Vista) better than its predecessor Mac OS 9.2.2.
Thanks a lot for your time,
Eduardo Guarniz

>Does anybody know any workaround at all to run PageMaker 7 on a Intel-based Mac?
Well there are two ways. the best way is to have an old machine that boots OS9. If you don't have one, buy one. I found one for about $69 a few years ago I'm sure they are even cheaper now.
There is some software called SheepShaver its supposed to run Classic apps on a Mactel. With all the problems of running PM in Classic (I would never use PM for production in Classic) Its probably even worse running on SheepShaver.
Be smart get the old machine.

Playing WM formats on an Intel based Mac...also... Azureus/dimeadozen usage

Hello, I am a newbie to the Mac. I am convinced that this is the way to go; but I am having some learning problems, so I hope someone out there can help. Specifically, I cannot get all the Window Media Files to open in Quicktime. I realize that flip4mac.com has not yet configured a plug-in for Intel based Mac's but what about Popwire v. 9? Window's is up to v. 11. Is it too early to expect an update? Is Popwire up to date? Over all, how do you feeln about Popwire? On another tangent...I cannot get Azureus 2.4.0.2. (universal) to mesh with the bit torrent provided by dimeadozen.org. Any comments or suggestions will be most appreciated. Thank you...

Search the forums for the universal F4M component - I posted it here. It's a beta, but works just fine on local and web-based files. Windows is no longer supported for Apple, so WMV9/OSX is the last you'll get - v.11 is Windows, not Mac. Popwire has no browser support, so it takes a backseat to the UB F4M beta.
Configuring the AZ client isn't hard, check the ports your sites uses...
And since you are on a Mac, not a PC, post your question in the correct forum.

You can't open Mail, Contacts & Calendars preferences because it doesn't work on an Intel-based Mac.

I updated my Mac to Mavericks and after that, I can't open the Mail, Contacts and Calendar preferences.
Every time I try, I get the following message:
"You can’t open Mail, Contacts & Calendars preferences because it doesn’t work on an Intel-based Mac."
I tried this workaround from the Mountain Lion thread (https://discussions.apple.com/message/21303574#21303574) but it didn't worked.
Further I deleted all files in the Library Preferences folder, but it didn't helped also.
Can anyone help me please?

Hi Michael,
I had the same problem. And I found a fix.
I noticed that on a different system running Mavericks without any problems, the preference pane isn't called 'Mail, Contacts & Calendars' anymore, it's now called 'Internet accounts'. The fact that it's still called by the old name on your system, means it somehow wasn't replaced while updating to Mavericks.
So the cure is pretty easy:
On a different Mavericks system, go to /System/Library/PreferencePanes/ and copy the file InternetAccounts.prefPane. Take it to the system you're trying to fix, and paste the prefPane file in the same directory. Reboot, and it should all work fine. At least it did in my case.
Cheers

Creative Suite 2 installation freezes Intel-based Mac

When you install Creative Suite 2 on an Intel-based Mac with the QuickTime 7.1 update installed, your Mac freezes.
Apple has now posted the QuickTime 7.1.1 update which resolves the freeze. Boot into Safe Boot mode by holding down the Shift key when restarting the Mac, then select Software Updates from the Apple menu and download and install QuickTime 7.1.1.
Reboot into normal mode and install the Creative Suite.

Are Intel based Macs more prone to Viruses than PPC based Macs?

I do not now, nor have I ever run A-V software. Nor have I ever had an issue with any kind of viruses, malware, spyware etc. However, I read an article in our local newspaper recently that even Macs, particularly Intel based Macs, are vulnerable to viruses. So, as a newcomer to the world of Intel Macs, the question suddenly takes on new significance and urgency. I do plan to run Windows on my MBP (as soon as I get the computer and set it up), and will likely use an emulator like VirtualBox. I have run VPC on my Pismo for years, and viruses have never been an issue, albeit I used Windows only for short periods at a time. So, is this a legitimate concern? What specific measures do I need to take, if it is, indeed, a concern?

As TD states, your Windows installation running as a virtual machine is as vulnerable as any Windows PC. If you won't be accessing email, and limit your web browsing, you'll be somewhat safer - but, I'd definitely recommend running AV software even so. There is quite a bit of malware/spyware that will install itself upon visiting some websites, and it can be easier than you think to run into one of those sites (for example, accidentally leaving out a 'p' when typing apple.com into a browser address bar redirects you to another site - 2sale.com; that one seems innocuous, but that's not always the case).
Note that VMware comes with a free 12-month subscription to McAfee VirusScan® Plus, so for the time being there's no need to purchase additional AV software, just make sure you keep McAfee running and up to date.
On the up side, if your virtual machine does become infected, the problems will remain confined to the virtual machine. Should you need to, you can roll back to a previous snapshot, or, if you set it up as a virtual disk virtual machine (i.e. VWware is not accessing a Boot Camp partition, but rather the virtual machine is stored as a file in the Mac OS), then the virtual machine is backed up along with your other files as part of your routine backup strategy.

Could someone suggest a procedure describing how I should migrate my iTunes files from old an older Motorola-based PowerMac to a new Intel-based Mac Pro?

My problem concerns migrating, or moving my iTunes files from a Motorola-based G4 PowerMac OS X 10.4.11 iTunes 9.2.1 (4) to a new Intel-based Mac Pro running OS X 10.8.4 iTunes 11.0.4.
Context Summary:
1. Migration assistants on my old and new macs are not compatible.
2. My older mac has my iTunes library stored on an external firewire disk.
3. Part (but not all) of my iTunes files are also resident/stored on my iPod classic.
4. Finally, I need OS X 10.4.11 on my old mac and cannot upgrade it to OS X10.5.
Proposed method A: Is there a way to transfer my playlists from my Motorola Mac to my Intel Mac? If so, could I then connect my external firewire disk (containing my iTunes library) to my new mac, and then tell iTunes (on new mac) to use my iTunes library located on my external firewire disk?
Proposed method B: Would my chances for success improve if I used my iPod classic to transfer iTunes files from old Mac to new?
Worst Case Proposal C: I could start from scratch and recreate iTunes playlists and library on new mac.... time consuming proposal but it's possible. (Please don't suggest this proposal unless no other viable choices exist for me.)
Or have I missed something? Is there another procedure I should use?
Please advise, and thank you.

Hello Chris,
Answer to your iTunes library question: By iTunes Library, I mean my iTunes Media folder only; not the entire /iTunes/folder with iTunes media folder inside.
BTW: Your pointer to ht4889 was very helpful, and sharing the folder, then copying it over firewire interface from old to new mac was most useful.
However, now with my entire iTunes folder (including iTunes media folder) moved to new mac, I remain unclear as to how I should configure iTunes on the new mac so that it can know about and use these copied files. I understand using iTunes preferences, how to point iTunes to my media folder, but don't know what other iTunes operations are necessary for iTunes to pick up where I left off with my old mac.
Is there any file conversion necessary?
Or inside iTunes, should I:
File->Library->Organize Library? or
File->Library->Export Library? or
File->Library->Import Playlist?
Please advise and thank you again for your help.
As you might imagine, I put a great deal of time building my iTunes library, and would feel very blue if I need to build it again from scratch on my new mac.
So long for now.

Working Java IDE for Intel-based Mac?

Apparently Rosetta has big problems with the Java virtual machine, so my beloved Borland JBuilder crashes on startup (on my iMac Core Duo), despite working beautifully on my PowerBook.
Looking for a replacement, I found this apple website:
http://developer.apple.com/tools/eclipse.html
which enthusiastically endorses an IDE called "Eclipse" for Java development on the Mac. So I downloaded it, but it too crashes on startup. Is Apple planning to fix these fairly severe Rosetta problems? Otherwise, are there any reasonable Java IDE's out there that Intel-based macs are capable of running?
(Wolfram -- the company that makes Mathematica -- has also noticed problems with Rosetta's handling of the Java VM: http://support.wolfram.com/mathematica/systems/macintosh/osx/macintelrosetta.htm l )

Hello Mike,
yes you are right.
The Bug #98889, deals with the Eclipse on Intel-Mac problem, since June, 8th 2005 and it works great.
I took the https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/attachment.cgi?id=33023 attachement (SWT 3219) and placed
- eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.swt.carbon.macosx.ppc_3.2.0.jar
instead of
- eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.swt.carbon.macosx.ppc_3.1.1.jar
That was all I have to do.
After the installation, you got an eclipse which runs at an incredible speed I never saw before - even on Windows-native machines at work!
Remark: There will also be an org.eclipse.swt.carbon.macosx.ppc_3.2.0 directory extracted which you should put into the plugins - directory.
I use a stable 3.1 version with this patch and everything works fine.

I have just bought snow leopard, but my computor tells me i am not a intel based mac help

I have just bought snow leopard . but my computer tells me it is no good as my computer is not a intel based mac

I am sorry to hear about your unfortunate mistake Catri. It should not be too difficult to sell your DVD for slightly less than you paid for it. It is too late to help you now but the following may help others reading this post.
Many people are happy with OS X 10.5.8 but if you want to update here is my general advice:
To get information about your Mac click the apple (screen top left) and select About this Mac. This will give you your OS number. Then click More Info to see which Processor you have. If it says PowerPC you cannot upgrade to Snow Leopard and above as these OSs are for Intel only. You can discover more about various Macs at: http://www.apple-history.com/
The OS numbers and names are:
OS X 10.4.x - Tiger
OS X 10.5.x - Leopard
OS X 10.6.x - Snow Leopard
OS X 10.7.x - Lion
OS X 10.8.x - Mountain Lion
If you have an Intel Mac it is well worth upgrading to Snow Leopard now and then considering other options after that.
You can buy Snow Leopard here:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A
For details about upgrading this to Lion or Mountain Lion see:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD256Z/A
In each case check that your Mac complies with the requirements.
If you are not in the US you should use the Change Country link at the bottom of the page.

CFMX on Intel based Mac, MacBook Pro, iMac

As of yet, I still haven't been able to get this to work,
although other's have had success, and other's such as myself are
struggling with getting the JRun4 and getting it to use the correct
version of Java.
Anyway, maybe these links will help someone else, and
hopefully Macromedia/Adobe will come out with a version of CFMX
soon that will run natively on an Intel based Mac using it's own
server.
Maybe people can post below whether or not they have been
able to get this to work.

Here is the info. on MAC OS X. You will need to look for 3rd party options.
Palm Desktop and HotSync Manager are not compatible with Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. Palm currently has no plans to release future versions of Palm Desktop and HotSync Manager for Palm OS. Customers do have options with third-party solutions such as The Missing Sync for Palm OS from Mark/Space.

Intel based Mac can't see airport exteme

My new intel based mac and airport had been working fine. Then last week it lost communication with base station. Now it will work using only Apple default setup and my Mac cannot configure base station through base station utility. It does not see the base station. I can connect to it only through the defaut Apple network, I have no control over naming, security, signal or any other options available through the setup assistant.
What gives? How do I gain control of this device again?
Intel I-Mac Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Try Connecting the Intel based MAC hardwired directly to the base sation, then disconnect it and returnt he base station to the way you had it and see if the Intle Based MAC then sees the base station.
Just a guess.

Why does most of the "system preferences" not load due to having an intel based mac?

I used to be able to access ALL of the items in "system preferences". Since the upgrade to Mavericks, which the Apple Store did for me, I cannot use most of them. It won't load my printer information. I cannot access security and privacy, users and accouts, parental controls, etc. Sometimes a window pops up and says "Preference Error" could not load.....pane. Or it will say "Preference Error" (and something like) cannot load ....... because it's an intel based mac. What the heck does that mean and why does it say that when I used to be able to access everything in the "System Preferences"? Please help! I'm sooooo frustrated and confused right now.

Since the upgrade to Mavericks
In order to get the correct troubleshooting suggestions, please, please pretty please, correct/update your system profile. Thank you

Error "You can't open... ...on an Intel-based Mac."

Hi.
On the System Preferences app. When I try to open Mail, Contacts & Calendars (preference pane), it gives me the following error:
"Preferences Error
You can’t open Mail, Contacts & Calendars preferences because it doesn’t work on an Intel-based Mac."
I already re-installed OSX Mountain Lion, and it didn't fix anything.
I noticed however, that the actual preferences file: InternetAccounts.prefPane has different permissions than the rest of the .prefPane files.
- All other .prefPane files have "System" as the first user, however, my InternetAccounts.prefPane file has "Me" (myself) as the main user, and not the System user.
Question:
A. Does someone have a solution for the problem in general?
B. Can someone check their InternetAccounts.prefPane file and let me know the preferences. The file is located at: System/Library/PreferencePanes/InternetAccounts.prefPane
C. If, your InternetAccounts.prefPane file has System as the first, or any user, can someone let me know how to set System as a user? Hopefull this will fix the problem.
Thanks to anyone trying.

Ok did some research - here is another thread which seems to address your problem.

Your MacBook Air is an Intel-based system. To download the current version (11.2.202.228), go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ and download it from there.
If there is still a Flash issue, you can try the Google Chrome browser, which has the current Flash built into it, to see if it works any differently with the videos. It's available from https://www.google.com/chrome
