How can you FORCE Classic mode to run on an Intel Mac? OS 9 emulation Rosetta Software Design

Hello everyone, I had a few thoughts on running Classic mode on intel macs which I wanted to share.
Now I know little about software design, but maybe someone who does could tell me if these ideas I had are at all feasible:
Now in the first place I now that, technically, "Classic" mode went out back with Tiger because of the switch to Intel chips. Switching to Intel, Rosetta was required to "translate" pre and non-intel OSX applications, with the exception of Classic since Rosetta does not translate deep enough into the system to do that. As a substitute to Classic, SheepShaver, Basilisk II, etc. can be used to emulate OS 9, but these are very lousy applications compared to Classic mode.
Is there ANY way whatsoever Rosetta could be edited, or Classic itself so that it will work on intel macs?
(that is, with the exception of 10.7+ systems since these don't even use Rosetta)
I know if Classic was placed on an intel mac, it would tell you to download Rosetta, but from there will crashes because frameworks in the system's library does not support (or was not designed for) Classic...
So what I wanted to know:
What if an old, Classic supporting PowerPC system's library folder was added to an Intel computer in a location other then that computers real system folder (as not to confuse the real, current system) and Classic manually edited so that it would search for the needed frameworks/etc files in the new location? Would it work?
Since, after all, it now has the correct "system" to run on (which before Rosetta could not convert), do you think there's any chance it would work and function properly?
Now beyond that, I wouldn't know the actual results (or consequences). I suppose the main problem to consider would be that the the PPC's system frameworks/etc wouldn't work at all on an Intel (which leads us back to Rosetta lacking in this area), and since those frameworks will be searching for other files in the system library (which would bring them to the current, Intel system) the same results would happen: crash! Or maybe sensing the system was mixed up, one or more files would try to "fix" themselves, and in turn destroy the computer's real system.
So, would it be worth a try?
I'd love to hear any other thoughts on running Classic on Intel...

There is an "easier" way to acquire SheepShaver called Chubby Bunny and I have put together a post with some safe links that are relevant to this topic. I see that emaculation is one of them.
Why do you need OS 9 greater than 9.04?
Feel free to let me know if you need any more help.
With the newer Intel Macs, you have to run a Classic emulator such as SheepShaver, which requires you to extract the Mac ROMs from your older Classic Mac and then install Mac OS 9.
A related program is Chubby Bunny, which comes bundled with all of that included.

When slides are updated within a MS Sharepoint slide library, how can you force an alert with the updated slide version going to users who have previous slide versions on their hard drive?

How can you hardcode/force that when a slide within a slide library (in Sharepoint 2010) is updated, that an alert is sent to the user who downloaded the slide to their hard drive so that they may replace the outdated slide with the recently
updated slide. There is a tic box option to set when downloading slides from a sharepoint slide library into power point that ensures alerts are sent when the presentation is opened allowing for replacement of the slide. But, it is an option. How can that
be hardcoded are forced on all slide library users who download slides from the shrepoint library into power point? Is there a workflow that can be written in Sharepoint or an option in power point to do this? Please advise. Thanks.

Two things to check:
Add the network folder location as a trusted location in your Flash Global Security settings and then see if the videos will play.
If the first suggestion doesn't work, get in touch with your network admin dudes and find out if FLV files are disabled from working over the network from that location. Many times unless a given file format is enabled on a network, the server assumes it's not desirable and won't serve it.

How do you install "Classic Mode"? The online guide doesn't match what I have?

HI -- I have a MacBook Pro and need to install Classic Mode so my kids can play some of their games ... I looked online, got instructions to go to the disks that came with my computer and that Classic Mode would be there. But it isn't. What am I missing???

There might be a terminology issue here.
Classic is the ability to run OS 9 programs on PPC-based OSX computers. It would not have been included with a MacBook Pro which runs an Intel processor.
Rosetta allows an Intel-based computer to run PPC based *OSX* programs. It will not allow you to run programs that required OS9. This *is* included with your MacBook Pro.
Are these OS9 (or below) games or PPC games for OSX?

How can you tell what apple id is associated with your MAC

I bought a MAC desktop for my business and immediately started using FACETIME. I did a software update and after the update it stated that I couldn't use my FACETIME because the Apple ID had not been set up. I tried setting it up under the email that I had previously been using but it said it was invalid. I then tried to set it up as a new apple id through Itunes and it said it was already taken. So I tried the "forgot password" for the apple id and it says nothing is available for that ID. So I am in a "catch 22" and now I cannot use my business email on my business computer for FACETIME. Any ideas?

HT4527 how can you move songs from your iphone 4 to a mac pro laptop??

My Itunes decided to update itself without my consent and while it updated it erased my songs. I have an Iphone 4 and I want to put the songs inside my Itunes in my Mac Pro how can I do that?? not all the songs I have on my phone are bought.

It has always been very basic to always maintain to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Use your backup copy to put everything back.
The iphone is not a backup device. The music sync is one way - computer to iphone, The only exception is itunes purchases: File>Transfer Purchases

How can you find out what launches / runs something else?

In poking around with my system trying to get it to run things for all users, at some point in the past I did something which causes a script to run when ever I log in.
This script is located in the application directory, and if I put any script called Login.sh there, it runs. It runs for any user too.
I have no idea what I did to cause this and I can't figure out a way to find out who is launching it.
I looked in the loginwindow.plist files, the com.apple.loginwindow.plist files, the ttys file in /etc and in the RC files too.
Is there an easy way to find out (maybe by putting something in that login.sh script) what is running it? I know it is the 'root' user.
I thought maybe if I could search all files on my HD for the word "Login.sh" I could find the culprit. I do not know how to do that though.
Any ideas?

You look up the process in the same output and find out what the parent process is. (after crossing your fingers and hoping it's not something generic like launchd)

How can you force a release update in the appstore?

Recently KLM updated their app to version 3.4.2 an apparently Release 9890.
On my iPhone I still have to deal with (buggy) release 9886 even though by now I have deleted & reinstalled the app several times.
Any suggestions on how to force a release upgrade of an app??

I have the latest update/version (= 3.4.2).
But it turns out that there is also a release number when you look at the app under 'Settings'.

How can you retrieve what OS your running in Java

I am trying to write some logic based on the OS I am on. Is there a way Java enables you to find our what OS you are running. Some kind of method?
Thanks

Check out the class java.lang.System and look at the javadoc for its method getProperties().
Properties sysProps = System.getProperties();
Enumeration sysPropsKeys = sysProps.propertyNames();
while (sysPropsKeys.hasMoreElements())
String key = (String) sysPropsKeys.nextElement();
System.out.println(key + ": " + (String) sysProps.getProperty(key));

How can I force an applet to run in a browser?

It's simple, I have an application in my office that relies on an applet (cambozola). Now, thanks to the last security hole found in the last java revision, all the browsers blocks all the applets.
Do you have any plan to release an security patch that definitively fix the problem?
Thanks in advice.

When the SW movie encounters the frame containing the movie clip, it simply skips over it and continues. The video never plays.
Presumably you have code to stop the playhead from moving while the video plays? You might want to post it.
If you are testing this locally, you need a folder named "dswmedia" somewhere in the path or linked content, like your video file, won't be found. Check the docs for more details.

How can you import pictures from the iphoto app to your mac book pro into iphoto on a mac book pro using mavericks?

I've tried to look this up on the app, and it tells me to use the iTunes file sharing and I can see anything with this trying to use both. I'm trying to keep my pictures in chronological order. Does in know how I can use this? Any help I would greatly appreciate. Thank you!

OK. This is two separate issues. To import pictures on your iPhone into your MBP, you can use iPhoto or the Image Capture app (in the Applications folder).
To use iPhoto, connect your iPhone to your Mac with its USB cable & launch iPhoto. Your iPhone will be listed it in the "Devices" panel on the left. Choose it & you will get a window where you can import all or selected photos as either "split events" or as a single event. If you need help with this, try opening iPhoto's built-in help & selecting the "Import Photos" item. That will open the Import photos from iPhone or other mobile phone help topic. Expand the Import photos from iPhone section & study it. It should answer all your questions about this better than I can!
To use the Image Capture app, you connect the iPhone & select it just like above. The app has several options for importing images, but what you may find useful if you do not want to import directly into iPhoto is that you can just drag any of the iPhone's displayed items onto the desktop or into a folder like you would any other file & they will be copied to that location.
As for organization of items in iPhoto, there are four ways they can be grouped for display (by event, by photo, by face, & by place). All except by faces offers a "By date" sort choice in the iPhoto View > Sort Photos menu item.

HT4543 How do you know if the fan is working on the mac book pro

How can you tell if your fan is working on your mac book pro? I cannot hear mine running and can't feel any air coming out. A couple of weeks ago, my battery literally exploded out of the case, Is this an item that can be self serviced or does it require a trip to the Apple repair store?

Macbook pro fan usually has really LOW noise, and it is not really strong, so you might not feel the air.
Fans are used to cool the CPU and GPU, not batteries.
But if you need to replace fans or batteries, take it to the store. Make reservations to save time.
