Google Earth compatibility with MAC?

I'm surprised to see so little discussion regarding Google Earth & the MAC platform. I've checked with Google and have searched several forums. Everyone agrees there's a problem, but who can offer a remedy - or even a theory? I have an IMac 5.1 running OSX 10.4.11, and the only thing that's worked for me so far is to blow away the Google Earth application & then install it again. I just do that each time it quits working, but it's getting old, and it's a pain having to set up preferences etc. each time. Do I just resign myself to the idea that, because I have a MAC, I can't use this awesome little tool?

Hi, Jimmy. I recently discovered that my old version of Google Earth — 3.1.0617.0, the last version that ran in Panther — no longer connects to GE's database, and when I try to open it I get a "Required Update" notice. This will finally provide the impetus for me to upgrade to Tiger or maybe even Leopard, both of which I've happily ignored so far. Panther has been a great OS, doing everything I needed or wanted it to, but I've realized for some time that eventually the system requirements of some application (or version of an application) I couldn't do without would probably force me to upgrade my OS. Google Earth is that app for me.

Google earth compatibility with 10.6.8

Current version of Google Earth crashes immediately upon launch. Google appears to be aware of issue but their on line guide has not solver or indicated what issue might be.
Has anybody experienced this and foun a culprit?

Was having same problems, this seemed to work for me (disconnect from internet, launch GE, uncheck start-up tips in GE preferences, quit GE, reconnect to internet and relaunch GE): http://groups.google.com/a/googleproductforums.com/forum/#!category-topic/earth/ problems-and-errors/uOMuR5sBCXc

It's Intel based so it should work.

Are ntfs files compatable with mac os lion

are ntfs files compatable with mac os lion

Files aren't ntfs or hfs or ufs or zfs.
Those are file systems that is the basis for how the OS stores the files on the computer. Files are store inside a file system, but the file system doesn't normally affect the file itself.
Mac OS X can natively read nt file systems. If you want to write, then you'll need something like Siddharth Khanna pointed out. I've also used Tuxera's product. You can use a combination of MacFuse and NTFS-3G for free, but if you need normal everyday access, that's going to fall short, I think.
On the other hand, Windows can't natively handle HFS+ at all. If you need to format an external drive to work with both, I'd suggest using exFAT. Mac OS X from 10.6.6 on can read and write it, and Windows back to some version of XP can read/write it. As the name implies, it is much like FAT, but on steroids. It can handle very large file sizes and disk sizes.

Is Adobe Elements 10 compatable with Mac OX version 10.9.2 ?

Is Adobe Elements 10 compatable with Mac OX version 10.9.2 ?
I have just bought a new Mac and would like to know if Elements 10 will work on it please.

I am strictly an Elements Windows user but try to find common ground between Premiere Elements Windows and Mac to give a viable response to Premiere Elements Mac questions.
On this one, I suspect that the bottom line is going to be "try it" and see what happens in your specific computer environment.
Please review the discussion in the following thread
Re: Premiere Elements 10 crashes on disc templates
Also, you are in for major display problems with Premiere Elements 10 on a computer that uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card/graphics card.
There the fix is to roll back the driver version to May 2013 in order to get Premiere Elements 10 to function properly.
Please review, consider, and then let us know the outcome when your schedule permits.
Thank you.

Is google earth compatible with mountain lion?

I just installed the plug-in for the first time. Works in Safari but not Firefox (asks you to install the plug-in), even after restarting my Macbook Pro.
So I agree with the OP that it's not compatible with Mountain Lion

powercadd 6 is compatibility with mac osx 10.6?

That's a pretty old version, significantly predating Mac OS X 10.6, so I doubt it will be compatible. I'd suggest you contact the developer of PowerCADD and ask them:

Is google earth compatible with os x lion?

Lots of discussion on various websites about serious Google Earth problems with OS X Lion. but surprisingly cannot find same topic on Apple discussions -- or am I searching in the wrong place?

i'm having trouble with GE with OS 10.7.4 -
running a MacBook Pro, mid 2011 version, fully updated. neither GE v 6.2 or the earlier v6.1 would work with my computer after attempting several reinstalls. all i get is a white screen on startup, with visible toolbars on the top and left side. it enters full screen mode automatically, and seems to not be able to reduce to a window in the main desktop. i've tried the problem solvers on the google help page, but one of the solutions involves going to the "library->cache->google earth" under user name, but there's no "library" file there.
is the problem with my browser? (firefox 13.1, recently upgraded from 12.x)
is the problem that i'm using multiple spaces?
do i have too little graphic power? (pretty new computer, i'd be surprised?)
help....!!!
system info available if think it will help...

Logic Pro 9.0.2. compatability with Mac OS Lion

My old Mac crashed and I had to get a new one. Now my Logic Pro 9.0.2. version which was fully compatible with Snow Leopard, for some reason does not want to work with the new Mac OS Lion. Is there any way around getting an upgrade to get this program working again? Thanks!

Hi
You need to download and install an updater from http://support.apple.com/downloads/
Logic 9.1.5 and up is compatable with Lion.

Google Earth Freezes with Intel Graphics

I'm using an I7 K2700 Sandy Bridge. Google Earth shows funny fragments before a picture stabilizes and if you dare to zoom to quick it freezes the whole X-server.
Unfortunately also no log entry. My previous PC with NVIDIA video and closed source driver worked perfectly with Google Earth.
Doubting the 3D acceleration I tried using "Neverball", which works perfectly.
Any suggestions I could try out?

Thanks, that's my trouble too!
"When i downgrade lib32-intel-dri lib32-libgl to 7.11 version everything seems to be OK."
Since so far this is the only conclusion which is not a really clean solution we might keep this issue open.
If Google Earth is incompatible to the latest versions of lib32-intel-dri and lib32-libg there isn't much the AUR maintainer can do.

PS CS4 Compatibility With Mac OS X Spaces

I'm using Photoshop CS4 with Mac OS X version 10.5.5, and I can't seem to have different Photoshop documents (different windows) open in different "Spaces". I have no problem doing this with other applications. Is this a known issue with Photoshop, or is it the intended behavior?
Thanks for any help or insight you can provide,
-Steve

@Ramon:
this means:
if you would work with the actual mac os, you have to use a old creative suite.
if you would work with the actual creative suite, you have to use a old mac os.
i am using a actual mac too :-) (mac pro intel)
so i have to downgrade to a older system, because adobe isnt able to do, what all other programmers can do? i dont believe this!
because i would use the actual os x and the actual creative suite, my question is another one.
why can support all other NON-APPLE-applications spaces and why can CS4 not. this question is not answered in this thread.
CS4 is the most expensive application on my mac and shows the worst compatibility of all applications.
for me, CS4 is not a app, i use sometimes. i used it several hours every day.
its no argument for me to say: we would not support the actual version of the operating system we develop for.
