How can I run Freehand on a 2013 iMac?

Hi all! My grandfather recently purchased a 27 inch iMac running 10.8.2. His previous computer, another mac running 10.5, has thousands of Freehand drawings on it. (Freehand is PPC only) My grandfather wants to be able to use Freehand to edit these drawings on his new computer. To run Freehand, I tried installing Leopard as a dual booted operating system, but to no avail. I also tried using VirtualBox to install Leopard. (I got the Leopard install DVD and made an .iso file). All of my attempts at this ended in a kernel panic on the virtual computer. (I bought an external Asus DVD drive to copy the DVD and to attempt to boot using the DVD. The drive gets finicky when I try to boot the computer using it. Just FYI) If anyone has a way to run Freehand on a new Mac, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much!

With all due respect to Mende, who works hard on this forum to post important information, he has it mostly wrong on this one: Doh!
Your solution is indeed to install Snow Leopard Server into Parallels or VMWare Fusion.
However, instead of paying $169 at Amazon as Mende suggests, the Apple Store now offers it (at least in the USA) for $19.99 + sales tax & shipping. Telephone sales only: 1.800.MYAPPLE (1.800.692.7753). Apple Part Number: MC588Z/A.
He also repeats the common Urban Myth that Snow Leopard client may not be virtualized in Lion or Mt. Lion on a Mac; but that misinformation is now mostly a footnote in history, due to Apple's 95% reduction in the price of SLS (they used to sell it for $499+ when it was previously available from the Apple Store):
Freehand MX must be updated for Snow Leopard and the patch can be downloaded here:
http://helpx.adobe.com/freehand/kb/cant-launch-freehand-mx-mac.html
It will look something like this (note that you can open the Snow Leopard windows to full screen; it is made smaller here to show, in my case, Lion running concurrently with it):

Also note that Adobe now allows free downloads of its Creative Suite 2, which includes Illustrator. You may want to experiment with some of your Freehand docs and see if they can be imported into Illustrator, which still has an upgrade path:
http://www.adobe.com/downloads/cs2_downloads/index.html
As with all PowerPC software that requires Rosetta, CS2 will not run on your new iMac and must again be used in virtualized Snow Leopard Server, as is Freehand MX.
Here is an example of CS2 Photoshop running in SLS in Parallels:

How can I run Classic on my new Imac 10.4.7?

I've recently had to buy a new computer which is fantastic, however all my work (I work as a freelance designer) runs on classic and I cant open any of them. Is there something I can download that will open classic for me? Is it possible to download OS 9 to run on my Imac?

Hi, cardsculptor -
Welcome to Apple's Discussions.
If your iMac is a brand new one, it has an Intel processor. None of the Intel processor Macs are supported by Apple for Classic, which is why it is not included as an installable item from the original disk set that came with the machine.
There is a 3rd-party emulator program, SheepShaver, which is designed to work with OS 9.0.4 or earlier in order to provide OS 9/Classic capability on Intel-based machines. It may or may not work for your purposes.

How Can I Run A SQLJ Normal Project In SAP NWDS?
PLS Help me and don't let me alone!

Tony,
Why not try to import your SQLJ project in SAP NWDS. Add all the jars mentioned to the project path both for compile time as well as runtime. Now try running he project. Once you are able to bypass java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError, you will get other errors related to SQL statements. These Oracle SQL statements needs to be converted to OpenSQL format.
Chill out!!!

How can I run the report for different input values at the same time?

Reports version: Report Builder 6.0.8.13.1
Oracle version: Oracle8i Enterprise Edition Release 8.1.7.0.0
I want to run the same report for different input parameter values and spool each o/p to different file and ftp to a server. For this, as a first step, I am spooling different input values in to a file, reading those values through a loop and calling the report for that input values. Each report run/execution is taking 15 minutes. Total report execution is taking approximately 4 hours (assuming 16 different input values) to complete. So I have to wait 4 hours to see ALL outputs.
I would like to run the report parallel for ALL the input values and I should be able to see the ALL outputs with in 15 or 16 minutes.
In my shell script, I added & symbol at the end of the report call to start/run the job in the background. Due to this the control passed to the next step after the report call. At this place I have an ftp command to send the output file to a different server and it is giving error some thing like o/p file is not available/created yet". This is due to the fact that report writer is NOT yet completely started/initiated or it is NOT completed the spooling.
How can I run the report at the same time for all the input values and save the time?
Thanks in advance.
Kishore.

Increase the number of server engines running right now it seems there is only one engine running ,increase it to 4 or 6
and then atleast 4 or 6 reports will run simultaneously.
For FTPing the output add to your sript to check whether it is locked and if not then only try to ftp .
Also for more better functionality read the document (chapter 15 ) for 10g reports for its new fuinctionality.

How can I run a vga monitor and projector together on my Mac Pro 15"??

How can I run a vga monitor and projector together on my Mac Pro OSX 15"?

You can upgrade to Snow Leopard, Lion or Mountain Lion (coming next month), but you need Snow Leopard to upgrade to Lion or Mountain Lion. Check this web to know how to add memory to your computer and the memory that it supports (probably, 3 GB).

How can i run a java class file from shell?

Hi all,
I've a .class file named "File" that contains Main method, it is in the package "File2".
How can I run it by shell command?
PS: "java -cp . file" doesn't work it launch->
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: File2/File (wrong name: File2/File)
Thanks in advance.

Just to understand: is File2 ar jar archive or not? If it is a jar archive, have you tried open File2.jar? If File2 is a directory within the current directory, have you tried java -cp . File2/File? I just tested with a set of classes and it works... Let me be precise:
* Let us imagine you are working in a directory whole path is PathToDir/
* in this directory you have the classes put in a directory called File2
* in order to launch File.class then you would have to invoke :
cd PathToDir/ (just to be sure)
java -cp . File2/File
*if you were to do the following then you would have the problem you describe
cd PathToDir/File2/
java -cp . File

How can I run a packet sniffer on a Router or Switch

I have on my network several router 1700 series and switches Catalyst 2950 and I want to know how can I run ethereal on those babies to monitore what comes and goes

The two most common methods would be (the old way) insert a hub (not a switch) in-line between the devices withthe traffic you wish to monitor or (the new way, for Cisco anyway) using port mirrroring.
A hub (not a switch) will repeat every pulse that passes on the line to the analyzer.
Since finding a new hub these days is virtually impossible (even some of the things sold as hubs are really switches), the more common way, at least in Cisco environments, is to "SPAN" (aka Port Mirroring) the port of the device whose traffic you'd like to monitor.
Here's the setup guide for a 2950:

How can I run a Flash Projector(exe) under GNU/Linux without wine?

I was received a flash on projector type(exe), there's no another swf file on there.
I'd like to ask: How can I run that on a Linux?
Thanks for reading and paying attention.

This sounds like a question for the linux distribution forum that you're using. The .exe is a stand alone executable, if you can run win32 binaries then you should be able to run this.
Thanks,
Chris

If it's the latter then you need to make the jar file including a manifest.
The manifest can be just a txt file with its content to be something like this:
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Ant-Version: Apache Ant 1.7.1
Created-By: Somebody
Main-Class: NameOfTheMainClass
Class-Path:
X-COMMENT: Main-Class will be added automatically by buildTo make the jar file including the manifest, use something like this in your command prompt (of course you must have compiled your java file(s) first):
jar cfm test.jar MANIFEST.txt NameOfTheMainClass.classAfter that you'd be able to run your application just by double clicking it.
If you're a NetBeans user, you can build your standalone application by right-clicking your project and then going to properties => run => and choosing a Main class. After that right click on that project and "Clean and Build", locate the jar file in the "dist" folder and double click it =]
Hope it helps,

How can i run a jar file?

hi there
how can i run a far file on my pc. i have installed JRE 1.3.1, and set the classpath to C:\Program Files\JavaSoft\JRE\1.3.1_02\bin for the user variables, what else do i need to do to run it?

Hi everyone.. i had a funny problem. Microsoft removed from registry and system the vm and i got the problem of java.dll and the registry problem when compiling.
How did i resolve that?
too easy:
1. go to the registry and search the key "JavaSoft"
2. add a Key with the name "Java Runtime Environment"
3. select the new key and add a alfa-numeric Value with the name "CurrentVersion"
4. set the value c:\jdk1.4 //the place of your jdk-version
5. insert a new Key with the name "1.4"
6. go to the new key and add an alfanumeric value with the name "JavaHome" and put the value c:\jdk1.4\jre\lib
do this where you find the key Javasoft (in my registry was twice)
i did it and got no problems

How can I run a vi developed with 7 Express?

How can I run a vi developed with LabView 7 Express on another machine ? Do runtime versions exist ?

Apparently, you want to run it on a machine that does not have LabVIEW installed.
To make a standalone executable of your LabVIEW program, you need to have the Application builder (included in LabVIEW professional and higher, avaliable as an add-on for base and full).
To run the application, the target system need to have the LabVIEW 7.0 runtime installed (available as a free download).
There is also the LabVIEW Player. In this case you need to digitally sign your VIs and there are a few limitations. It is meant for for sharing code ideas and is not a viable substitute for the appl
ication builder.
Of course you could also get a second copy of LabVIEW.
Some other options that would work in a very narrow set of situations: Read your LabVIEW license agreement. Under certain conditions you are allowed to install a second copy of LabVIEW on your home computer. If this is for personal educational use only and you qualify, you could also buy the LabVIEW student edition.
