How to open power pc on mountian lion

Help I paid $60 for a game put it won't open because power Pc is not supported.
Quick eiasy simple ficks please!

If your MacBook was upgraded to Mountain Lion from 10.6 Snow Leopard (or 10.5 Leopard), you can set up a dual boot system, with two partitions, one with OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard and one with OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. This could also be an external hard drive with an OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard system on it. However, if your system was delivered with OS X 10.7 Lion or OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, this isn't possible.
And otherwise, sorry, no quick and simple fix as you're out of luck on this MacBook. Apple stopped providing PowerPC support with OS X 10.7 Lion.

How to open powerPC apps in Mountain lion?

I just updated to Mountain Lion. Before, I had a couple of games I could play without any problems. Now that I have updated my OS I get an error: "the progam can't be opened, because the PowerPC-applications aren't being supported any longer"

When you said "just updated" people assumed you UPGRADED to 10.8 from 10.6 and now your PPC apps no longer work.
What it appears now is you purchased a new machine with 10.8 or updated from a factory 10.7 because you said "I miss my old mbp"
I tried to partition my external drive, but I can't install snow leopard onto it.
The machine your booting the 10.6 install disk/usb with has to have had Snow Leopard 10.6 on it at one time or is capable of booting from the 10.6 installer.
There are hardware drivers so OS X can work on different Mac hardware, for newer machines there is no hardware drivers for Snow Leopard and/or the firmware will block booting from the installer/disk.
I tried to partition my external drive, but I can't install snow leopard onto it.
All OS X boot drives have to be formatted Partition, X amount of Partitions (usually 1) click the box and Option: GUID and then OS X extended journaled on the partition OS X is being installed into.
The other partitions can be formatted differently, but OS X can only be installed into OS X Extended J formatted partitions and only on a GUID formatted drive.
Formatting a drive will remove all data on it, formatting a partition will remove all data just on it and not other partitions, backup all the data regardless in case of error.
Once you have formatted you can quit Disk Utility and then there will be a selection of boot volumes OS X can be installed into.
You do all this while c or option/alt key held at boot time to boot off the 10.6 installer disk or bootable 10.6 USB key.
How to erase and install Snow Leopard 10.6
You are doing this to direct boot the machine (if it's capable of 10.6) into Snow Leopard, you do this by holding the option/alt key down at boot time for Startup Manager.
If your machine came with 10.7 or 10.8, it can't boot off the 10.6 install disks.
Nor can you boot the gray machine disks on another model of Mac as it has specific hardware drivers for that model only.
I have a UT here about installing Snow Leopard onto a partition on a Mac that was upgraded to 10.7 or 10.8 from 10.6.
Snow Leopard partition on 10.7+ Mac
There is a option to running OS X 10.6 Server on a virtual machine software called Parallels here, the performance isn't going to be as good as a direct boot, but acceptable on just about everything but a intense 3D games.

How to open silverlight download under mountain lion

I had to clear my cookies for Netflix and am trying to install Silverlight to run streaming movies. Netflix downloads the Silverlight package, but when I try and open it, I get an error message that it can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer. I know it is something under my security prefs, but I can't remember how to do it.
Help!

It's the Gatekeeper settings in the Security system preference, but you don't have to change the settings. Right-click (or control-click) the installer and select "open". You'll get a message asking if you want to open it. If you're sure this package is valid, allow it to open.
Regards.

How can I get my App Store to open so I can download Lion?

I want to download Lion from the Mac App Store. The App Store does not open. It has never opened but I never used it so didn't care. Now I want to download Lion but I can't get the Lion App because the Store won't open. It just hangs and then you get the error notice to try again.
What do I do about this? My Applecare ran out on my iMac in February so I have no coverage. What do I have to do to get it open so I an get Lion? I know a lot of people had this problem, but I don't know how...or if...they solved it.

DL and install the 10.6.8 v 1.1 COMBO update, repair permissions, restart, and try the store again. If still no go, try http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/

How do I prevent multiple applications opening on start up with Lion?

how do I prevent multiple applications opening on start up with Lion?

It's the Resume feature of Lion:
Managing Mac OS X Lion's application resume feature.
If you shutdown your computer you should get a dialog asking if you want applications to resume on the next startup. Simply uncheck the box to prevent that from occurring. Open General preferences and uncheck the option to Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps. You can also install a third-party utility to control resume features on individual applications: RestoreMeNot or Application State Cleaner.

Shows some problems with Logic Pro 9 in ML (Logic express appears fine).
Just a wild guess: Is the installer of your version a PowerPC App? I have Final Cut Express - it is universal, but the installer is PPC and I can't use it to install. As a workaround, I have a working Snow Leopard partition and copied every file from there onto the same location on ML - it works fine. That assumes you know where all the files are located.

When I open Power Point files in Keynote the music does not play. How can I solve this?

When I open Power Point files in Keynote the music does not play. How can I rectify this?

That issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

How to open or install fonts from a .suit file under Lion?

How to open or install fonts from a .suit file under Lion? Thanks!

although I believe I *have* used the .suit extension when I was creating suitcase files for TrueType fonts.
You can get away with that because you haven't really changed anything. It's already a suitcase file, with a Type code of FFIL (the Creator code is mostly irrelevant). Adding .suit still tells the OS it's a suitcase.
However, if you do something silly like change the Type code to LWFN (the outline portion of a PST1 set), then neither Font Book, or any other font manager knows what to do with it. It's recognizing the LWFN code, but the data structure of course doesn't match. The file is still a Mac legacy TrueType font. Suitcase Fusion 5 tosses this on the screen when I change the Type code to the wrong one:
Changing the extension to something obviously wrong, like .otf produces the same message. It's trying to parse the data according to what the extension says it is, and nothing lines up.
Trying to use .ttf or .ttc also doesn't work. A Mac legacy suitcase TrueType font is not built the same as a .ttf or .ttc font. Either is technically correct (it is a TrueType font), but that's the only similarity. What's happening in that case is Mac legacy TT fonts have all of the data in the resource fork. When you add .ttf or .ttc to the name, the OS and any font manager then tries to find the data in the data fork. Nothing there.

Anybody know how to open DSS Player for Mac Update 7.2.6 while running Mountain Lion?

I am trying to download some audio from my Olympus DM-20 voice recorder, which I have not used since I installed Mountain Lion. During the installation, I run into a "Setup.app" which apparently can't be opened "because it is from an unidentified developer." When I open the setup.app, I notice that the date on it is 2009. Could this be the problem?

See the heading "How to open an app from a unidentified developer" on this support page. The instructions apply to installer packages as well as applications.
