Hi. My iMac hard drive is running Mavericks. I have an old version of Quark Xpress (3.32) which won't run in Mavericks. Can I partition my hard drive and run an older system on one partition, so I can access my Quark? Is that possible?

Hi ancelau,
QuarkXPress 3 is a Classic Mac OS application, so you need a version of OS X that still supports Classic. I believe 10.4 was the last one.
So if you have an iMac that boots with 10.4, then yes that is possible. I doubt though that newer Macs boot with OS X 10.4.
So why don't you upgrade QuarkXPress 3 to a newer version? I am not just asking that because I want you to spend money with us.
Typically using software that was released almost 20 years ago is just feasible when you keep an environment that was current at the time of release or a few years after, so an older Mac with a operating system present at that time. 20 years in IT is a lot.
So my opinion is that on a new Mac with a brand new operating system you need to use something a bit more current.
How about QuarkXPress 9 (released 3 years ago) or QuarkXPress 10? You are better off with v9, as QuarkXPress 10 only opens v7 and higher (whereas QuarkXPress 9 opens v3.1 and higher).
Or - I am even happy to make an exception - upgrade to 9 and we give you 10 for free? Let me know please.
Thanks
Matthias

Yes. You can define alternate locations in teh application manager. just be aware that some components will always end up on your system root drive no matter what.

I have a MacBook Pro (purchased in 2011) with OS X Lion 10.7.4. I'm using Microsoft Office 2011 and cannot open older PowerPoint Files (non .pptx). It will always open the same .pptx file and then the machine hangs up and just keeps spinning.

Thank you - that all makes sense. It is, indeed, exactly what I did when I upgraded.
I'm also writing this on the machine that crashed a few minutes ago (I posted the crash in another thread). I got back with a 'safe boot' - as I have done a few times before.
I've also de-installed little snitch (and then done a safe-boot & then re-boot ) since that seemed involved. I de-installed Adobe flash, since that seemed to be a problem - I then re-installed the later, apparently fixed, flash. The most recent crashes don't seeme to have a problem with flash any more.
I've posted the various ( generally different ) crashes. I also posted a summary of the similar lines that turn up in most of the crashes.
Unfortuantely, I'm actually trying to use the machine to meet some urgent deadlines and all this is not making it at all easy.
I had had great hopes for 10.7.2 - I thought that the crashes must be pretty common, so would have a common aetiology. There do seem to have been some fundamental changes to the file sytem and to the video interface (that seems to cause problems to brand new iMacs as well as to my 2009 iMac).

Where can I find the Java SE 6 runtime download so I can get Adobe Photoshop CS5 up and running again.

Where can I find the Java SE 6 runtime download so I can get Adobe Photoshop CS5 up and running again. I have to go this route. Currently on my Mac, I need to be running Java 7.65 for work-related stuff. I went to the Java site, but could not find anything that simply says "Java SE 6 runtime" ... Or, is there another way to get CS5 up and running with my recent Yosemite download?

No, I can't go that route. I have to stick with my current Java 7.65 ... Our IT department said just to download SE6 Runtime separately ... If I was understanding that correctly. Or, can you have two different versions of Java running ... 6 ... and 7.65?

Can I put abort execution button and Run button in GUI ?

Dear All ,
Can I put "abort execution button" and "Run button" in GUI with bigger buttons ?
Thanks.....

Hi wMw.
Aborting normally works fine for very small applications or architectures but not for anything after that. Aborting a VI can leave things in states that you don't want to be in or references open. Sometimes you do need to Abort the code though (other programming environments use Abort buttons) so I don't think we can get rid of it entirely.But try to avoid it maximum.
EDIT:why you are trying to do such a strange thing??
Thanks as kudos only

My computer died and I had to buy another one. Now I can't sync my ipod classic. What is the deal with this? I added songs about three months ago and it was fine. Now it won't sync. It says it has a duplicate file.

My wife has an ipad3 can she take it to apple and swoop it for a new one

my wife has an i pad3 that she got in march now the new one is out can she take it into apple and swoop it for a new one???

Is it defective in any way? is it less than 30 days old?
If none of this is true then no, why do you think apple would trade in iPads for new ones?
If you bought the iPad 3 less than 30 days ago some Stores can exchange it for a new iPad 4, but its a sotre by store policy.And it probbaly won;t apply anymore now that's been almost a month since the iPad 4 was released.
Other than that, what's the reason for the exchange?

How do I get to the hard drive? I find only two screws on the back of the monitor/case and they do not help. What am I missing?
Thanks

It's not too hard but you have to take off the bottom cover of the case. These instructions shoudl show what yo uneed to do.

I pulled the original 10G hard drive from our M5521 and replaced it with a larger one. The whole thing took under 45 minutes, including the 15 minutes it took me to recover a screw that fell into the works.

I have 2 screen and the dock is changing from one screen to another , can I stop it (Mac OS 10.9.1)

Hello , I have 2 screens , and the dock is moving from one to the other screen at any time .
I would like to "paste" it on one screen
How should I do?
Thanks for your help

Hello there, BHDock.
The following Knowledge Base article explains how the Dock works in Mavericks:
OS X: Using multiple displays in Mavericks
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5891
Working with the Dock
When the Dock is configured to appear at the bottom of your screen, it's available on whichever screen you’re working on. Just move your pointer to the bottom of either display. When the Dock is configured for the left or right position, it appears on the leftmost or rightmost display edge.
The Dock settings are located in System Preferences.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

How do I update my iMac OSx if I have an old version 10.5.8.

I'm interested in the iCloud and it requires the latest OSx. I think I have leopard (not positive as it was 4+years ago-version 10.5.8). I've not had any problems witht the system and runs great for my family's needs.   To get iCloud, it said that I had to have the latest OSx. I'm also interested in AirPlay as well and suspect that this may require an update as well. I looked into updating the OSx and it stated that to update to Mountain Lion it requires at least Lion or Snow Leopard. Do I need to update each step of the way or is there a way to bypass the versions in between. Is it worth doing if I have to pay for all the updates (vs updating the whole computer)? Thanks for any help.

iCloud's minimum requirements are a Mac running Lion v10.7.2.
Lion's requirements:
        Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
        2GB of memory
        OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
        7GB of available space
To view this information on your Mac, click the Apple icon top left corner of your screen. From the drop down menu click: About This Mac
To see if your Mac can upgrade to Mountain Lion, see Step 1 here > Apple - Upgrade your Mac to OS X Mountain Lion.

I have an old version of Logic Pro 8 installed on an MAC air. I now need to migrate to my new iMac but I lost my CDs. How can I accomplish this task

I have purchased a new iMac and I have an Logic Pro version 8 installed on my Mac air. Can someone tell me how to migrate it to the iMac since I misplaced my CDs.

You should be able to hook the two up and run the migration assistant app to transfer all apps to the new machine.
Mike,
I do agree with you... that you *could* do that but the issue is the large number of reported problems, here and elsewhere, by people trying to use MA with Logic.... resulting in them having to re-install Logic and it's content, from scratch anyhow.. negating the use of MA to achieve this..
I also believe, though I have no proof of course, that based on previous similar situations on the App Store, there will be no discount for recent purchaser of Logic 9 when the next major version of Logic is released... but then again, the current price of Logic 9 is the same price as the Logic 8 to Logic 9 upgrade price was anyhow.. so in reality, for me at least, it would be reasonable to pay that same price for the Logic 9 to Logic <whatever> anyhow!
Cheers..

If I have a iPod 30 GB 1st generation, can I turn it for a certain percentage off of a new one online, like I can in store?

I want to get a new iPod Touch and I was wondering if there was a way I can trade in my old iPod for a certain percentage off of the new one.

you can trade it in for either absolutely nothing or an extremely small amount, you are better off selling it on third party sites (ebay, amazon, etc) or just giving it away or keeping it, i have 2 ipods and i use my 30gb as a hard drive for my playstation and its great.

Hi. My iMac hard drive is running Mavericks. I have an old version of Quark Xpress (3.32) which won't run in Mavericks. Can I partition my hard drive and run an older system on one partition, so I can access my Quark? Is that possible?
