I cannot install Virtual PC 7.0 onto PowerPC G5 iMac using OS 10.4.6

Hi,
I probably should try asking someone at Microsoft this question, but then I woud have to pay them, and I already did when I bought VPC 7. I had VPC 7.0 installed on a computer using OS 10.3.x and it worked fine. I got a new computer and am now unable to install VPC. I know there is an update, 7.0.2 and I have it but I understand it should have nothing to do with installation.
When I try to install 7.0 the process goes through Part 1 no problem, I get the message that the installation was sucessful, I restart and am then prompted to unlock it by typing in my name and the Virtual PC product key. I do that and then there is no further movement. The continue button never lights up, the only options I have are to "Go Back" or exit the program.
I got some advice on a different forum to try loading OS 10.3 and then installing VPC onto that followed by the update. I never heard of going backwards with the OS and frankly I am afraid to even try that.
So did Microsoft make a cool $250 off of me or what. There must be some way to do something about this. Thanx
iMac G5 Power PC   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   Virtual PC 7.0 with Windows XP Home Edition, and VPC 7.0.2 Update

Hi Dr. Spock,
Perhaps a Vulcan Nerve Pinch will subdue that misbehaving iMac..just kidding. What about re-installing 10.4.2 and then try installing VCP before going through the upgrade path for Tiger? Maybe that will at least allow you to complete the install of VCP in order to update it properly.

  • HT5022 i cannot install airport utility 5.6 onto my computer although i need it to configure an older airport express and base station

    i cannot install airport utility 5.6 onto my computer although i need it to configure an older airport express and base station

    Here is my method.. the software is free that is required.. always a good point.
    How to load 5.6 into ML.
    1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
    Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
    2. Download and install unpkg.
    http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
    Run unpkg on the desktop.. it is very simple.. drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. drill down.. applications utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
    You cannot uninstall 6.1 so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. so just ignore the toyland version.. the plastic hammer.. and start using 5.6.. a real tool.
    For screen shots see this post.

  • Cannot install Mavks. Get the message that HD is used for Time Machine B/U. Not true. Also Time Machine is turned off.

    Cannot install Mavks. Get the message that HD is used for Time Machine B/U. Not true. Also Time Machine is turned off. Running OS 10.8.5.

    That message appears when there's a "Backups.backupdb" folder in the root level of the OS X volume. This folder is used by Time Machine to store backups, being this the reason why the OS X Mavericks installer detects the OS X partition as used by Time Machine.
    To delete it, open a Finder window, select the Go menu (on the menu bar) > Go to Folder, and type:
    Then, delete "Backups.backupdb" and empty the Trash. Finally, open the OS X Mavericks installer in /Applications and follow the steps. Make sure you have got a backup of your files before upgrading and check that your apps are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com

    i cannot install apps that are upgraded to ios4. im using iphone 2g 3.1.3 this makes me sad.. why does apple need to updates many apps when we cannot update an iphone 2g anymore..

    I am having the exact same problem with trying to sync my iPad with my computer. To make a long story short, I had to reinstall Windows for my computer and therefore had to reinstall itunes.
    I have done back ups in the past for my ipod touch and other ipods with no problems, but unfortunately I have never been able to back up my iPad. During a sync, the iPad would always disconnect from my computer and it would never finish. it would say the connection was lost, but nothing is wrong with the connection.
    So now I have over 100 apps and thousands of pictures that I am afraid will be deleted if I run the sync in itunes. I have tried to transfer purchases and it goes through the list of apps, but nothing is ever transferred.
    Any help would be appreciated. I am not interested in jailbreaking my iPad to solve this problem. There should be a fix for this and I want to upgrade to ios 4.3 as the original poster. Please help

  • Need Urgent Help Cannot install Mac OSX 10.6 on 20" intel imac

    I recently purchased an intel imac an intel mac pro from an auction. When i purchased the macs i was told that no operating systems will installed and i would need to purchase and install mac osx10.

    I have tried this several times but nothing seems to work.
    I am a complete novice with macs and migrsting from pc.
    thanks

    You cannot buy a retail version of Tiger that will install on any Intel Macs. You must have the original installer discs that came with the computer. You should not have purchased the computers without them nor should they have been sold to you without them.
    The only option you have is to call AppleCare or go to a local Apple store and see if you can purchase the discs needed for each computer (there are different versions for each model.)

  • Is it possible to install FCS 5.1 (Academic) onto an newer iMac with Lion?

    So i have Final Cut Studio 5.1 (Academic).  When I tried to install on my New Imac, it would not allow me to do so.  I've heard that the installer is PPC, but the software itself is Universal.  Is this true?  And if so, can someone let me know how I can install it??  Would really appreciate the love!

    Niel,
    Thanks, so if I format it all as APM I can either clone OSX 10.4.11 which I have on my internal now. If I do a backup of my intel and Powerbook PC both of those will already have Tiger on them so do I need to do another Tiger install on each of those partitions?
    Also by doing it this way I can't boot from a parition onto my intel can I?
    Guess I'll have to weigh whose system is more important or just back up her drive as GUID on my computer and she can restore from it if she has too but won't be able to boot from it.

  • Problems installing OS 9.2.2 onto a clean iMac G3 (slot loading)

    The iMac in question is completely clean yet for some reason will not boot from my retail Apple OS 9 disc. It boots just fine from my OS 10.1.5 disc, but will not start the OS installer when I use the OS 9 one.
    I need to update the computer's firmware so I can upgrade to more recent versions of OS X, but if I cannot get OS 9 on there first, I don't know what I can do.
    When the machine boots up I insert the OS 9 disc and hold down C. It will eject the disc, but if I push the disc back in once it fully ejects, it'll start searching for a start up disk before finding the disc. Then the screen will go gray and the CD will eject again. This time, still holding down C, I reinsert the disc and a floppy disc icon with a question mark flashes on the screen.
    What can I do?

    Actually, even the last iMac G3 only came with 9.1, so that disk may be for an early iMac G4.
    Is the iMac able to boot other optical disks (like the one for Mac OS X installation)? If so, the drive is OK, so it is probably the disk being for a significantly different and later Mac model. The 9.2.2 disks in particular seem to be very model-specific.
    Ideally, you should get a retail disk that is 9.0.4 or later. It should be white with a big orange 9 on it, and it should NOT say "upgrade" on it. The only retail disk your iMac may not be able to use is the original 9.0 disk (sold when Mac OS 9 was first released). You can get it up to 9.2.2 from any version of Mac OS 9 with free downloadable updaters

  • How do i install my photoshop cs4 cd onto my new imac?

    I bought a new imac for my photography and I can't seem to be able to install my photoshop cs4 cd on it. I need it asap for my job, if anyone could help that would be wonderful! I am a first time Mac user and I'm a little lost !

    CS4 was written for the PPC processor. Your new Mac has an Intel processor and starting with 10.7 and then 10.8 Mountain Lion, Rosetta, which ran PPC apps in a PPC emulation environment, has been dropped. This means it won't run CS4.
    Depending on your model, it might be possible to install Snow Leopard to a separate partition and run CS4 there.
    Other than that, you can try running Snow Leopard in the following manner.

  • I cannot install Adobe CS5.5 on my PowerPC G5

    Hi, I hope someone can help me! I have a PowerPC G5, purchased brand new in 2005. I tried to install Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 on the machine but I got an error message that 'my architecture was not supported'. On contacting Adobe, I was informed that this software would only work on Macs with Intel processors. Can I get this software to work? is it possible to upgrade the computer to an Intel based system?

    Or maybe it really is time to upgrade with $2119 buying 2.8GHz Mac Pro 2010, which can be upgraded yourself with a W3670 hex 3.2GHz $600.

  • Cannot install Flashplayer 10 with Mozilla firefox 3.6.13 using Vista

    I can down flash player but when I try to install I receive a message that says "installer will automatically continue when these conflicting applications are closed". It then lists Mozilla firefox. What is going on here. I've tried numerous times but each time it says I must close firefox.
    I am using Vista Home 32 bit and Firefox 3.6.13 32 bit.

    Hi, I would just use one browser to do this. Go to the site from the link I gave you. You will see this: This is the Installer for IE.
    Just click once on "Download EXE Installer" on that site. It will open and you will see "Run", "Save". Just click on SAVE. It will ask you where, choose Desktop so you can easily find it. Then do the same with the Firefox link, below.
    Windows
    Internet Explorer
    All supported languages
    Download EXE Installer
    Windows
    Plugin-based browsers
    All supported languages
    Download EXE Installer
    Be sure to use the Administrator Account when Uninstalling & Installing.
    Before you Install, you want to be sure that when you ran the Uninstaller, you achieved a clean Uninstall. Go here and as soon as the site opens you will see the version of Flash Player if it wasn't Uninstalled completely. Do this with both browsers and let me know. http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/   If any version of Flash Player is shown, let me know.
    Thanks,
