  • I downloaded the recent software update Mountain Lion and now my microsoft word, powerpoint, etc. are no longer supported. Why is this? What can I do?

    I downloaded the recent software update Mountain Lion and now my microsoft word, powerpoint, etc. are no longer supported. Why is this? What can I do?

    Depending upon how extensive your library of legacy Microsoft Office data files are, you may want to consider continuing to use Microsoft Office 2004.
    Microsoft Office's 2011 version is compatible with Lion and presumably either works with Mountain Lion or an update will make it so.  The problem with this approach is that Office 2011 will "convert" your earlier data files and there lies the rub!  For example, I have the need to weekly open a chart created in Excel 2004, but Excel 2011 trashes the chart in its "conversion."
    So I have approached the overall problem differently.
    The reason your applications do not work in Mountain Lion is that they were written for the older PowerPC CPU that all Macs used up to 2006.  When Apple made its transition to the Intel CPU, they licensed software that they included in all versions of OS X (from Tiger to Leopard and optionally, Snow Leopard) called Rosetta.
    Rosetta miraculously allows PowerPC applications to work on the Intel processor transparently; you do not know it is even present.
    The problem is that after 6 years of the transition, Apple's license to use the underlying software expired for OS X Lion and all version thereafter (and it is doubtful that the current owner of the software, IBM, would relicense it, even if Apple were inclined to do so).
    So for those of use that need to run Lion, I have offered the option to install Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels 7:

    And now Mountain Lion:
    Full Snow Leopard installation instructions into Parallels 7 are here:

    Snow Leopard is $29 and Parallels 7 is $79 retail (cheaper from competitive sources) and Parallels offers a 14 day free trial of Parallels 7 on their website:

  • My computer's power adapter is plugged into a power source, yet the indicator light is not working and my computer is not being charged.

    My computer's power adapter is plugged into a power source, yet the indicator light is not working and my computer is not being charged.

    I have the same issue.
    The magsafe goes orange for about 20 seconds, the battery shows 0% then it goes to a black X indicating no battery installed.
    With a new battery the same happens, although it can run on battery but does not charge.
    It runs fine on mains power, the green light is always lit.
    I have tried several things so far:
    1. Cleaned the magsafe contacts on cable and macbook
    2. Reset SMC and PRAM
    3. Installed latest battery update
    4. Tried new battery
    5. Put old battery in fridge for an hour
    I work in IT and am fairly confident taking it apart, what should I try next?
    Some people recommend a new battery connector, which doesn't seem to make sense as the battery has never been removed before.  Also some people say it will need a new logic/motherboard.
    Any experts here managed to sucessfully fix one of these?

  • The indicator light doesn't work anymore

    I have a older Apple TV and the indicator light doesn't work anymore. It flashes yellow when it's plugged in then nothing afterwards. It used to be green. It also doesn't want to update from iTunes anymore either

    I get the same thing, but I'm concerned about mine since it doesn't sleep always when the lid is closed. It then starts to get really hot if I have it in my backpack when its closed but not sleeping.
    Does anyone know what could be wrong? I'm new to Apple Laptops.

  • My camera doesn't work + it doesn't recognize external cameras. what's the problem here?

    I set up a new windows 7 version for my laptop (probook 4510s) & the camera doesn't work + it doesn't recognize any external camera. So how to fix my camera & get it back to work?

    What kind of external camera is this? I am assuming it is a USB camera? Make sure that you aren't using any USB hubs. Also try connecting it to another USB port. Have you installed the drivers from the camera manufacturer yet?
    Thanks,
    Sean

  • Macbook pro 17" digital audio option not showing in Audio preference pane

    I seem to be having a problem with the Digital Audio setup with my macbook Pro 17"  2006, running Snow Leopard, when I go to select the SPDIF option in the Audio Prefernce Pane it doesn't give that option!, like it did in Leopard and Tiger of which I had running on this Macbook pro.
    Running Snow Leopard this option seem to be missing, I looked in the Midi Setup etc in Utilities as that how I worked around it in Tiger as well as Leopard.
    I also have the same problem with my other newer and last of the Macbook Pro 17" model as ti doesn't show in the Audio Preference pane either. Is this an omission in the OS or with my hardware as had no proble,s connectiong to a Sony MD and Tascam MD rack system before. I can always go back to using the older OS if thats the problem but find it hard to believe that All of my Laptops 15" & 17" are all up the swany with the same SPDIF problem.

    also posted this question in the MacBook forum. Problem eventually solved by trashing iTunes preference files & the iTunes application, then re-installing iTunes.

  • When i attach my iphone 4 with computer it shows one of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it,now what can i do ..plz help me

    when i attach my iphone 4 with computer it shows one of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it,now what can i do ..plz help me

    I would first try unplugging All the USB devices plugged into your computer, and then plug back in just the iPhone and see if that is recognized.  Also, do you have the latest version of iTunes for Windows installed on your PC, as you need to?
    Hope this helps

  • My computer is a MacBook Pro Intel core duo, and I need to know if I can run the new Lion OS?

    My computer is a MacBook Pro Intel core duo, and I need to know if I can run the new Lion OS?  The Apple web says must have Intel Core 2 Duo. Please advise. Not knowledgeable enough to know if not having the 2 between Core and Duo is a stopper.  Appreciate any guidance. 

    The difference between a Core Duo and a Core 2 Duo is a show stopper when it comes to running Lion.  The Core Duo is still only a 32 bit chip, but the Core 2 Duo is a 64 bit chip.  You need the 64 bit chip to run Lion.

  • I have a macbook pro with 10.6.8 on it but I need to do a clean re install and my CD is 10.4.6. Can I use the CD and then are my OS updates to 10.6.8 free?

    Also can I use iMac OS install disks on a MacBookPro?

    You will have to buy Snow Leopard:
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order. You also should find it at your local Apple retailers.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.

  • HT2515 My ichat says "computer does not support video chat" when i have a built in camera. what can i do?

    My ichat says "computer does not support video chat" when i have a built in camera. what can i do?

    Hi,
    In iChat open the Connection Doctor (Video menu) and the the Capabilities option
    Are all items showing Green ?
    Try restarting iChat (It re-reads the computers Ability at each launch)
    If that does not work try restarting the Computer.
    Make sure that in iChat menu > Preference > Video Section the Bandwidth Limit is not set to 100kbps (this is too Low for 1-1 video chats)
    Do a Speed test
    "Real World" speeds need at least 256kbps both up and down.
    Check the System Profiler is "seeing" the camera.
    It will be in Hardware > USB
