I can't use my Classic programs on new MacBook Pro Dual Core 1.83

How do I get the MacBook Pro to recognize my Classic programs? I've got a number of Classic programs that worked fine on my G5 Power Mac running Tiger 10.4.4 but they won't run on Tiger 10.4.5 on the MacBook Pro. On my Power Mac it would just open up my Classic OS 9.2 and that would run the programs fine.
What do I do?
Thanks.

Number 8,
Most Apple resellers have a return policy that would take it back subject usually a restocking fee.
I suggest contacting the store in question and let them know of your issue, and that you weren't aware of the limitation of the Intel Macs.
There are still plenty of PowerPC Macs out there. I've written a FAQ about the Migration to Mac OS X here:

  • Can i use older ram on a newer macbook pro

    I have a MACBOOK PRO 15' LATE 2011 2.2 GHz intel core i7 4gb 1333 MHz DDR3 can I use an 8gb 1066 MHz DDR3 on it???
    please need help??
    Thank you

    It may work, but the performance won't be the same and it's risky. If you have checked that everything except the RAM speed meets the requirements of your Mac, that memory should work, but your Mac will use 1066 MHz instead of 1333 MHz.
    I recommend you to buy new 1333 MHz memory to guarantee the compatibility and save headaches in the future if the 1066 MHz memory doesn't work

  • Can I use an USB disc with my macbook pro bought in 2005.  What capacity will it take 2.00 or 3.00?

    can I use an USB disc with my macbook pro bought in 2005.  What capacity will it take 2.00 or 3.00?

    The first MacBook Pro's were not released until the beginning of 2006, and they had USB 2 ports.
    Anything available new in 2005 would have been a PowerBook G4 and they also had USB 2 ports.
    A USB 3 disk will just transfer data slower then it could do, if you plug it into a USB 2 port though, so you can buy either.

  • Can I use Dell AOI 922 printer with MacBook Pro?

    Can I use Dell AOI 922 printer with MacBook Pro?

    Cisco:
    Very helpful!   My set up was Mac/ Lion trying to Print off a Dell Photo A10 922
    Lion does not store any Lexmark, nor dow Apple, but I went to the lexmark site, and found this-
    http://support.lexmark.com/index?productCode=LEXMARK_X5270&page=product&locale=E N&userlocale=EN_US#1
    Downloaded that, then hooked up the printer, Cmd-P, and the Mac found the drivers I had loaded.
    Works fine.  Now when I go to my sisters, I can print!
    byw, I'm probably just a Level 2  "GIYF"er, but your the only one ( of MANY folks) who thought to search Lexmart. I've seen posts by MANY geeks saying a Mac could not print to ANY Dell printer.
    Nice job,
    Rich

  • HT4796 Can Windows 7 be installed on my new MacBook Pro, through my network connection?  The disc would be in my Windows desktop.

    Can Windows 7 be installed on my new MacBook Pro, through my network connection?  The disc would be in my Windows desktop.

    I wouldn't recommend installing through a network connection.
    For a Virtual Machine:
    If you have the Win 7 media (DVD), use an app like PowerISO or MagicISO to make an ISO file of the install disc and use that.
    For BootCamp:
    Use the original install media and BootCamp Assistant, to install from your DVD Drive.

  • HT1329 My large iTunes library is on an external hard drive. Can I set up iTunes on my new Macbook Pro and copy the library to it or are there any pitfalls?

    I have my large iTunes library on an external hard drive. Can I set up ITunes on my new Macbook Pro and transfer/copy this library to the internal hard drive or are there any problems I should be aware of?

    ITs an old Iomega 100gb external HD that has about 90gb of music on it. The Macbook has a 500gb HD. I would like to put the iTunes library on the internal HD so I have room to expand.
    Phil0124 wrote:
    You can copy it to the internal hard drive as long as it fits on it. How big is your library, and how big is your internal HD?
    The only thing you do not want to do is over-stuff the internal hard drive. The OS needs some space to operate correctly, so if your iTunes library uses up more than say 80 to 85% of the internal HD's available space it may not be a good idea to transfer it over.
    With that said, the internal HD will provide slightly faster access to the library than the external would, but other than that, you can point iTunes to the external drive just fine.

  • I have an Ipod classic sync'd to a PC. The PC is no longer working. I purchased a new MacBook pro. How can I sync the Ipod to the new Macbook pro

    I have an Ipod classic sync'd to a PC. The PC is no longer working. I purchased a new MacBook pro. How can I sync the Ipod to the new Macbook pro

    Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time. It will recognize the iTunes library on the Mac as a new library. If you sync the iPod with this new library, all content will be erased from the iPod and replaced with what is in the new library. So what you will want to do is copy everything from the iPod to your new iTunes library on your Mac first.
    See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

  • I want to use iMovie 6 on my new MacBook Pro running Lion 10.7.5. It won't download. Can I download Snow Leopard instead and use iMovie 6 with that older OS?

    I have a MacBook Pro I recently purchased 'cause my old G4 just couldn't output my video films properly. My new MacBook Pro is running 10.7.5 OS Lion. Don't like iMovie 11 and want to use iMovie 6. It won't download on Lion. Could I download Snow Leopard (deleting OS 10.7.5) and use iMovie 6 then? I saw a previous thread that said that could be done.

    AppleMan...I have the same iMac you have...i-7 16GB with a SSD....just bought it second hand and it is about 1.5 years old....it was maxed out with upgrades when the original owner bought it.  It was also restored back to factory settings prior to me taking possession. 
    I am making home movies in iMovie 11....max length 30 minutes or less.  I am totally new to this editing.  I am using HD footgage filmed from my Hero GoPro 3.  I am finding that the movies that I am creating are skipping, staggering, hanging up etc...usually where I had transitions.  I am certain I have enough power and memory in my iMac, so what's the issue?  I read one of your other posts about optimizing each event or clip to 1080p?  Is this what I need to do for every clip I import?  Can I do this for all the clips at once on import?  I also read that I may need to export the movie to quick time for smooth playback?? 
    Any help you can provide would be appreciated!
    Sincerely,
    Matt

  • Running Classic Environment on new MacBook Pro

    I need to use an old software program. It requires that I use the classic environment. Is there any way that I can run the classic environment on my new MacBook Pro running Snow Leapoard?

    Hi, turtlepower -
    Does this also apply to the new imac version 10.6.2.
    Yes.
    Classic is not supported by OSX 10.5 (Leopard) and later versions; and is not supported on any Intel-processor Mac.
    Is there anything out there that will work?
    The only way to use OS 9 on Intel machines or machines running OSX 10.5 and later is to use an emulator such as mohaas05 has suggested.
    Whether running OS 9 in emulation will meet your needs is a different thing - some functions or programs will not work well, or at all. For example, programs that require direct access to the machine's hardware (such as many games do) will not do well in OS 9 in emulation.
    Given that used machines capable of booting to OS 9 are quite inexpensive these days, getting one of them is often the best solution.

  • Ipod classic sync to new macbook pro

    Hi,
    I bought a new ipod classic and did use it on my old PC but now have a new macbook pro.  What, if anything, should I do when I attach my new ipod to the new computer??
    Thanks

    Doris,
    Your iPod can only be synced with one iTunes library at a time.  If you try to sync it to a new computer/iTunes library the process will erase what is currently on the iPod and replace it with the content that is now in your new iTunes library.  If possible, copy your entire iTunes library from your PC to your Mac first.  Here are a few ways to do it.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    One way to do it is to use your iPod Classic as an external hard drive and copy it that way.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1329
    Otherwise, you'll need to use one of the methods described in this Apple support document to copy content from your iPod back to your Mac.
