How to update PowerPC apps after installing Lion OS X?

I need to update my PowerPC apps after installing Lion OS X, and if not find a way to run them on Lion using a patch, emulator, converter or otherwise? All help appreciated, thanks for reading. Please note, I do not curretny have a hard-copy of Lion or Snow Leopard.
I feel Apple has really let its users down by creating all these compatiblity problems. Myself along ith many other Mac users have to spend valuable time and money, which we won't get back just trying tto find solutions to these problems. It really does lower my opinion of Apple.

Use your System Discs you got with your computer and return your system to it's previous state with your last Time Machine Backup. If you were on Snow Leopard and have lost your discs then ring Apple and you can probably get a replacement set for a nominal fee.
Good Luck

  • Unable to update my apps after installing iOS 6.1

    unable to update some of my apps after installing iOS 6.1 on my ipad 3

    After Updating iTunes to the latest SW, I connected my iPod Touch 3G to the computer then checked iTunes for any app updates, found those that could not be updated to the iPod alone - downloaded them - when complete iTunes synced to my iPod. Worked fine for me.
    I have not installed iOS 5.0.1 - to many problems!!

  • 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"

    I miss my old mbp.
    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.

  • I want to be able to remotely access my lion server over the internet how do I do this after installing lion server

    i have a mac mini with lion server, I just want to be able to access it over the internet and upload and download files to it like my windows server, but I dont have a clue how to go about even starting this process

    Im guessing you simply want to know what tool to use to access it. Meaning you access with your windows box with remote desktop - the mac equivalent of that is "screen sharing"
    step 1: enable screen sharing on the mac server:  system pref -> sharing -> screen sharing
    step 2: forward needed ports if behind a router (off the top of my head I believe its port 5900)
    step 3: depending on what type of machine you're trying to access from... if from a mac, finder -> go -> connect to server ->  vnc://ip_address_or_domain_name  ------ if from a windows or linux box you'll need to get a VNC client (see google for those)
    good luck and hope this helps

  • How to update safari browser after installing snow leopard

    Hi,
      I had been having trouble for a week and couldnt get online at all. Then I updated to snow leopard just before and I can get online with firefox. My safari web browser still isnt working. Each download I use to update states it is too old for snow leopard yet I cant find any close to it on the internet to help me update it so I can use it with the snow leopard. Anyone have any suggestions? The firefox isnt working that great either but its better than nothing. Also, what web browsers are you mostly using? Thank you in advance

    Hello, I try to avoid Safari myself, but are you really on 10.5.6 & not 10.5.8 yet?
    Does Software update show a newer Safari?

  • Although I am new to mac, I am not new to computers and purchasing online.  I can't sign into the App store after installing Lion.  I have had to change my password 4 times in 2 days .  I am so sick of this.  I am trying to buy a tutorial for Lion.

    I recently downloaded Lion and since have had nothing but problems with my new i-Mac.  My problem with the App store is only one issue.  Has anyone out there had any trouble with their components after installing Lion 10.7???????   After several hours on the phone with a tech my situation isn't any better.  I think the tech is sick of talking with me.  He was supposed to call me today and the phone never rang.   He told me he was working on something to repair my problems and needed to talk with engineers.  How long could that take????   If it wouldn't hurt the person who gifted me this i-Mac, I would give it back.

    you can go to any computer with internet access in the world and
    login into your itunes account if you have the appleID and password

  • After installing Lion, my microsoft office suite doesn't work anymore, and show this message: Application Power PC no longer available. How can I resolve it?

    Is there any possibilty to recover the use of my Microsoft Office suite, which doesn't work anymore after installing Lion?
    The programs display this error message: "no puede abrir la aplicación Microsoft Excel (o any other) porque las aplicaciones Power PC ya no son compatibles"
    thanks for your help

    You will need to upgrade your suite of MS programs.
    Older suites, like MS Office 2004, use program versions written for Macs with PPC processors. In order to use those apps in pre-Lion OS's on an Intel-processor machine, it was necessary to install Rosetta, software designed just for the purpose of using PPC-apps on an Intel machine.
    Unfortunately, Lion does not support Rosetta, so those apps no longer work.
    Solution - update them to a version which will work in Lion, such as the MS Office 2008 suite, or newer if available.

  • How to recover Passwords Plus data after installing Lion?

    How to recover Passwords Plus data after installing Lion?

    While waiting for DataViz to rewrite the app, get another hard drive and install 10.6 on that; re-start from there, you can then open Passwords Plus. Use whatever method you like to copy the data. A bit of a chore yes, but I can't think of another way.
    There is in the AppStore Ascendo DataVault which performs the same function. I am going to wait a week for DataViz, then jump ship.

  • How do I recover space on my hard drive after installing Lion

    My hard disk is full after installing Lion - before it had 80 GB free out of 320 GB.
    Maybe it happened during the disabling of File Vault from Snow Leopard - I had to move a lot of files to get space enough for decrypting before using the encryption on Lion.
    I have seen somewhere that the multi version way of saving files is what takes up the space and that it can be disabled.
    How?

    Are you sure you don't have duplicate copies of the things you moved?
    Did the old sparsebundle containing the encrypted version of your home folder get deleted?
    If you're using Time Machine, the space may be taken up by Local snapshots.  See #30 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.

    I am having a similar issue, but in my situation, my users cannot log in.  All of my users are network users on Mini's.  I am running 10.6.8 on my server.  I have created users before with no issues, but have not done so in months.  When I try to log the new user in, I get the following error:
    xpchelper: Could not get path of user account (uid:1029) home directory:/Network/Servers/server.xxx.net/Volumes/Data/Users/username; error; The operation couldn't be completed. No such file or directory. Using home directory.

    I have no idea of what to do.  I have verified that the user looks the same as my other users in WGM. The user's folder was created on the server.  The user has access to the folder.  I'm not sure what else could be wrong here.

  • After Installing Lion how do i get the windows partition back?

    The Windows Partition is not showing up after installing Lion.
    I only get the option of booting Mac or Recovery
    How do I get it back.

    Hi!
    I had the similar problem, where my windows option went missing after installing Lion. I gave up trying to resolve it and did a clean installation on windows again by re-configuring my Windows partition & install Windows 7 on it. It seems to work well for now...
    Apple should have warned us that the Windows partition will be unreadable when u install Lion. Hence, allowing users to back their files up on Windows environment before installing Lion.
    Thank god I did not have any important files save in Windows.

  • How can I return back to OSx after installing Lion?

    I'm disappointed. After installing Lion, everything is slower. The best thing I had last year was my new MacBook Pro, because everything was fast.. (sleep, opening programs, multitasking...etc) Now, everything takes forever. How can I return back to OSx?

    Downgrade Lion to Snow Leopard
    1.  Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
    This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard. I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.

    How do I close apps after I have updated them? I have 30 apps saying open after I have updated them.
    IPin other words, all of my updates are still showing on the screen after they have been updated.

    The word 'OPEN' next to the name of the app doesn't mean the app is running. Instead, it is a button you can use to launch the App.
    If you don't do anything, then the list will eventually disappear on its own, along with all those buttons saying 'OPEN'.
