I see that Macbook can't run OS9 programs- any options?

Hi,
I see that the Macbook cannot run OS9 programs like the PPC can. I work in education and all programs have not been undated to run in X.
What are the options?
Thank you for your help

If it's impossible to live without really old applications, you can run OS 9 or earlier in an emulator.

I have downloaded Firefox 5 but I keep getting told that I can't run certain programs (egEvernote Web Clipper) because I am using Firefox 3

I accepted the offer to download Firefox 5 and followed all the instructions. Everything seemed to be ok until I tried to install the Evernote Web Clipper. I was then told that I was running Firefox 3.xxx...
If I have downloaded Firefox 5 how do I make sure I am running 5 and not my earlier version?

Please do the following.
Click '''Help '''| '''Check For Updates'''. The option to update should appear and version 3.6.17 should download and install.
However, sometimes things go pear-shaped and you get version 3.5.19. If that happens, repeat the same steps to update to 3.6.17.
Once you have 3.6.17 installed, you'll get the opportunity to update to the current version which is 4.0.1 ''Please don't do that for the moment because you first of all have to update your plugins''. To do the latter, please do the following.

Hi, I activated my CS6 in 2012 under my student licence and still using it. I've heard that you can't run CS6 on multiple computers. How do I transfer it from one computer to another as I am switching computers?

Hi,
first, I'm not Adobe's "slave" as you might to accuse me. Most of the posters here are users like me.
I only can repeat that what I found in Adobe's help sites, as I wrote above. You are free to figure out the "real" truth and - the best would be - you may contact Adobe directly, here are - I'm sure you know them - the links I would use: http://helpx.adobe.com/support.html and http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html.

Just found out that I can't run microsoft word or adobe photo shop with Mavericks, is there a way to make this work?

You must be using very old versions (Office 2004 or older, Photoshop CS2 or older).
Upgrade to newer, or current versions.

Can't believe that I can't run movie videos simultaneously on my ipad. Just spent all weekend trying to do it. Downloaded 2 Apps but they just keep freezing. Come on apple this must be easy!

Can't believe that I can't run music videos simultaneouslly on ipad. ust spent 2 days trying to do it. Downloaded 2 Apps but they just keep freezing. Come on Apple this must be easy to fix!

first then this is a user helping forum only users like you read or write here if you want apples ear
http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
other then that it's unclear what you are trying to do or if it's 1 or 2 things
playing music videos simultaneously would imply you trying to play more then 1 at once, this is not something it support out of the box I'd say.
then there is the 2 apps, are you refearing to apps which should let play many music videos at once?
and do they freeze when you try to download them, or when you try to start them,
and maybe the name of the apps, in question would make it easier for people to help.

Which Adobe product?
Which operating system?

I am using a code based typesetting program (not WYSISYG) that outputs PDFs. I am producing 100 plus pages that have multiple graphics on each page. I need to know how to format a PDF command that I can incllude in my programming that will tag my graphics with "Alternative Text".
I know that with a Microsoft product graphics can be tagged before a PDF is made. I need to know how to do this with my programming.

The Acrobat SDK might be a starting point.
From there, perhaps a plug-in (built with C+).
Perhaps with a licensed release of a PDF Library (this could be $$).
The viable and cost effective alternative is use the tried and true.
Authoring in an appropriate authoring application with appropriate tag management.
Example: Adobe InDesign; Adobe FrameMaker or MS Word with PDFMaker (comes with install of Acrobat).
This way you place "Alternative Text" when mastering content in the authoring file.
Going the route and with some look-see (research) you may find programmatic approaches to placing the alt txt in the authoring file.
Note: as discussed in the Matterhorn Protocols there is no programmatic method that provides a fully accessible PDF (specifically, that is an ISO 14289-1, PDF/UA-1 compliant PDF).
Regardless, here you have a sub-forum for discussions on Acrobat usage.
Consequently discussions on/of 3rd party software is rather out of scope eh.
Be well...

Can't run some programs after system restore to remove virus

Hi,
My duaghter's Toshiba had a nasty virus that pretended to be an antivirus software product, that snuck in, between the time her default Norton service expired and I had the time to install Trend.
Could not remove it using Trend, so upon advice from a friend, decided to do a windows system restore to a point prior to the infection. This worked successfully, and the virus is gone, but now she can't run some programs, I have tried to install Trend again, but that fails as it says that you have to uninstall Norton first. But I can't run Norton, or uninstall it, and some folders on C: are no longer accessible.
Should I do a complete Toshiba system restore (ie back tofactory settings? This seems a drastic measure, but the issue is beyond my meagre PC skills.
Thanks,
Graeme

Thanks for your reply.
The main issue is that we cannot run the Norton Anitvirus that came prepackaged with the laptop, and we can't uninstall it either. If you try to perform either action, nothing happens.
However, when we try to install a new antivirus software, Trend, the install fails because it detects that Norton is installed, and indicates that we must uninstall Norton before we can complete the Trend installation. But we cannot unistall Norton for some reason.
I am getting my daughter to check what else doesn't work, but Microsoft Office works OK, and most of the games she installed seem to work. I just don't understand why Norton won't work now, and why we cannot uninstall it. I don't know if its due solely to the system restore, or some combination of events. The introductory 3 mont Norton licence has expired some time ago, but it should still let us uninstall. I have also tried to unistall through the Control panel, but nothing happens when I try that either.
Is there any way to force the uninstall of Norton? Or is a factory reset the only viable option now?
Thanks,
Graeme

I restored my I phone 4 using Itunes, after that I can't access the icon any more I only got a message that says " ( Sim not Valid.) Only compatible SIM cards from supported carrier may be used to activate iphone. I need some proffesional help. Thanks

"We're Sorry, Activation Server Temporarily Unavailable, contact Customer Care, Sim not vaild?"
99.9% of the time, the cause of this issue is the fact the phone was jailbroken/hacked to unlock it for use on networks other than the network the phone was originally locked to. Apple maintains a database of officially unlocked iPhones, and when Apple's servers detect phones such as yours, activation stops & you get the message you got.
So, either get a sim card from the carrier your phone was originally locked to, or get it officially unlocked, if you want to activate it. Because it appears that it was not officially unlocked.

If I buy a macbook can I run my microsoft software on it?

Can I run Microsoft Office 2007 on a macbook if I buy one?

you don't need to restart with crossover. you just open crossover while running your mac os X, install MS office and run from there.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What does C4 do?
A. C4 does different things for different audiences. The Compatibility Center contains the following components:
# A database of Windows applications, including information and statistics about how they run under CrossOver.
# An online discussion forum and community surrounding each of those applications, where people can discuss the application and any known issues.
# A front-end for the CodeWeavers regression testing suite (CXTest), allowing us to automatically collate information on the state of CrossOver's functionality vis-a-vis a very large number of Windows applications.
# A locus for interested parties (advocates, ISVs, etc.) to get applications running under CrossOver
Q. How does C4 differ from the Application Database maintained on the WineHQ site?
A. C4 is different in a number of different respects:
# It is actively maintained.
# It is more comprehensive.
# It allows financial incentives to be aligned behind which applications will be supported under CrossOver, thereby giving us an active interest in bringing new applications into support
# It allows for the dissemination of a uniform toolset that can be used by anyone to test their applications against CrossOver.
Q. What do the different color medals (gold, silver, bronze) mean?
A. They indicate different levels of functionality under CrossOver. Go here for more information.
Q. Why isn't my favorite Windows application in the database?
A. Probably because no one has submitted it to the database yet. If you're interested in submitting an application, click here to be taken to the correct spot to do that.
Q. If I don't see a Windows application in the database, does that mean that it won't run under CrossOver?
A. Not necessarily. Many applications work perfectly under CrossOver without any modification whatsoever. However, we may simply not be aware of them. So, just because an application isn't in our database doesn't mean that your application won't run. You might consider downloading the trial version of CrossOver to see if your application works. And if it does, please consider submitting it so that it makes it into the database.
Q. If I don't see my application here, what's the easiest way to find out if it will run under CrossOver or not?
A. Download the trial version and find out. That is by far the fastest, easiest way to answer this question. Regardless of whether the answer is "yes" or "no", we'd love it if you would submit the application to the database.
Q. I've tried the evaluation version of CrossOver with my application, and it doesn't appear to run under CrossOver. Is there anything I can do to change that?
A. Absolutely. Depending on your situation, there are a number of things you can do. These include:
# Becoming an advocate for the application in question. Volunteering your time can help us accumulate better data on the application in question. And as CrossOver Wine continues to improve, odds are the application you need will improve under CrossOver as well.
# Pledging some level of monetary support to bring the application in question under support. If we reach an economically meaningful amount of money on the table, we'll bring the application up under CrossOver. You'd be amazed how quickly a group of individuals can accumulate the necessary funds. Of course, if you have enough money by yourself, so much the better.
# Contact the software developer, and suggest that they work with us to make their application function under CrossOver.
Q. When you say "economically meaningful" (per the last question), just how much money are we talking about?
A. Answer: it really all depends. Supporting a big, important application that we think we can potentially drive more sales of CrossOver can be a factor to bring the cost down. This is particularly true if we know beforehand that {Customer X} will buy {Z Thousand} seats of CrossOver if the application in question is supported. On the other hand, if the application is known to be big, gnarly, and complex, that brings the cost up. As a result, we review our supported application roadmap on a case-by-case basis.
Q. Generally speaking, how much does it cost to get a Windows application to run well under CrossOver?
A. That's a lot like asking, "How much does a house cost?" Again, it really all depends. How complex is the application? And what qualifies as "runs well" for your production environment? The answers to both of these questions can have a dramatic impact on the likely cost of an engagement. For more information on how we approach CrossOver implementation projects, go here.
Q. Do you work with Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) to bring their applications into support?
A. Absolutely! We have a set of services designed to help ISVs get their products running on either Mac OS X or Linux under CrossOver.
Q. I'm positive that if you supported {Application X}, CodeWeavers would sell {Z million} extra units of CrossOver to the {Financial Services Sector} in {East Irakistan}. Is there any way you guys would do the work on spec, based on the Enormous Opportunity™ this represents?
A. Sadly, no. We've learned through experience that there are no "Killer Applications" out there whose support will help us sell a buhzillion extra units of CrossOver. We really wish there were, but so far it's never happened. That's not to say we won't give discounts on development work if we have a large sales opportunity sitting in front of us. But in general, we are a "coin-operated" company: if you need an application to work, you'll need to cover our development costs and profit margin.
Q. Are there any Windows applications that you can't get working under CrossOver?
A. Our experience suggests that the answer to this is most likely "probably not". For all practical purposes, we think we can make anything run under CrossOver. After all, if we can make MS Office run, odds are pretty good that we can get your application running, too. The only question is how much work is entailed.
Q. What are Advocates, and what do they do?
A. Advocates are the dedicated, talented, and extremely sexy people who help us maintain the Compatibility Center. Advocates dispense their wisdom concerning their favorite Windows applications to other users, as well as helping us test applications. If you think you might be interested in being an advocate, here's some more information on what they do, and the perks they get as a result.

Can I run OS9 on my iMac G5?

I still hanker after all the benefits of OS9 with which I was very happy for so many years. Can I run it on my new machine? Tiger is very pretty in many ways but I don't find it always very intuitive and Word doesn't work as well as it did before.
Any instructions should be couched as if talking to an idiot!

Hi Garland,
It is about the programs you use.
If you use old Classic programs, it opens Classic automatically.
Then you are in the Classic environment, everything looks and works like in Mac OS 9.
As long as you use only Classic applications, you'll remain in this environment.
Mac OS X is the one who is actually at work in the background, but if you don't use Mac OS X applications you don't see it.
You cannot boot from Mac OS 9, but you can have Classic "start when you login" (System Preferences).
If your Classic is not installed:
Install it from your computer's install DVD or CD.
Open Help (⌘?) and type "classic support".
You can type also "classic", to get a lot more useful articles.
