This is a great question, at least for me. I've often wondered about it. I run Windows on my Mac with Parallels.
I never thought about what you've asked, so I asked Google: "can parallels or vmware run earlier mac os x versions on a later mac os x" without quotes.
Here's the first link that I saw that seemed to be on point:
http://www.macworld.com/article/2014336/one-mac-two-versions-of-os-x.html
A quick scan notes two approaches; get a new external drive, or use virtual software like Parallels or VMware. It mentions a no-no about running Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) in a virtualizer, but it goes on to say that 10.6 Server is OK. The article recommends a link to another article that compares VMware vs. Parallels.
The real "trick" might be finding a legal copy of OS X 10.6 SERVER, or 10.5 or earlier.

What matters is the version of iPhoto you have on the different machines. Can you tell us what they are, and what exact error message you get.

Sounds like an activation issue. Quite Premiere Pro. Sign out of Creative Cloud. Restart Premiere Pro. Sign back in: http://bit.ly/CC-sign-out

Keynote 6 is compatible with Mavericks only, your profile states you are using Snow Leopard, if thats the case use Keynote version 5 and all will work as before.

Read this on error 1712: https://discussions.apple.com/message/20350274#20350274
Sounds like the app is having issues starting. Maybe choking on a file that didn't close correctly?
Suggest going to System Preferences, General, place a check next to "Close windows when quitting the application".
Then follow the direction in the link above. Namely, Force Quit that app and restart the computer.

I am creating a form on LiveCycle Designer and I am trying to create a form that has a e-mail submit button. When the butten is utilized it attaches the form to the e-mail in an plain text .xml format rather than the pdf format. Is there a quick fix?

Hi,
You have the choice between xml or pdf, in later versions of designer you can choose with a dropdown on the email button Object palette, the "Submit As";
In earlier version you had to edit the XML Source and change the format from xml to pdf (or vice-versa);

Mail, App Store & Terminal won't open after OSX Mavericks Update

Hey,
Updated to OSX Mavericks yesterday - today Mail started crashing, found a solution but needed to use Terminal - which won't open. I thought OK, I'll reinstall OSX, but can't open the App Store either...
Does anyone know a solution to this one, or have a link to a direct (non App Store) download of OSX Mavericks.
I've tried Safe Boot and didn't help.
Thanks,
Eliot

I went to the Apple Store today and the genius recommended a new install of Mavericks, just do a time machine back up then hold down alt and go to the recovery drive then click reinstall or new install of Mavericks.
Note: This will take a long time it took 3 hours for my machine. When it prompts you to install the back up from time machine I would recommend unchecking the box that asks if you'd like to install with your settings. I have a hunch that what caused this problem in the first place was a corrupted file in the settings. Hope this helps..

Old Applications & files won't open in OSX-Tiger/Classic

[post moved from other forum]
I finished my Powerbook's hardware upgrade with success yesterday(with thanks to JPL, Sig, A_Brody and other's great advice). System is now Powerbook G3 400 Firewire with 512mbRam, new 40GB HDD, and OS-X Tiger. However...
I can't seem to get the older Applications or their files to open. I get the error message:
"There is no default application specified to open the document Appleworks 6"
and/or
"Could not be opened because the application that created it could not be found--- could not find a translation extension with appropriate translators"
The upgrade/update procedure included...
===Back-up all files on the old 10GB HDD to an external USB drive.
===Remove old and replace w/new 40GB HDD, also install new 512MB PC-133 RAM module in lower slot.
===booted from old OS CD and ran Hard drive set-up utility with two partitions, one 30GB the other 10GB.
===Install OS 9.0.4 from that original Apple software CD onto the first 30GB partition.
===Onto same partition, ran OS-9 Update 9.1.0, then 9.2.1, then fireware update 4.1.8f5, then Update 9.2.1
===Installed OS-X Tiger onto the first 30GB partition
===Moved all backed-up files from the external USB drive onto the second 10GB partition.
I have tried running the old applications in both OS-X Classic mode and also after changing the "Start-up Disk" to the smaller partition (which should be a clone of how the original Hard drive was set-up i.e. folder structure etc.)
I'm quite surprised that when re-booting to the smaller partiton, that although it looks just like my system prior to upgrading, the apps don't run and the files don't open those older apps that created them. I assumed that the smaller Partition--and booting to it--would be the same as if the original Hard drive was still in the powerbook.
When I get those error messages above, I have followed the "Choose Application" button thru to where I could choose the application. I follow to the "Applications (Mac OS 9" folder to where the actual APPLEWORKS 6 app (for exmaple) is located, but it is greyed out and can't be selected. BTW later I did copy all of the contents of the original "Applications" folder from the backed-up HDD into the OSX "Applications Mac OS 9" folder. Also note, the apps in that folder are listed as KIND "Unix Executable File". The files (in this case AppleWorks files) are also listed as that file KIND.
===In the OSX's System Preferences/System/Classic/Advanced tab, I have tried the REBUILD DESKTOP procedure--with no effected change. I know I read elsewhere in discussions that there was a procedure to re-boot with a certain keyboard held-key combo that allows to re-build desktop upon booting?? I don't remember the keyboard combo. And,not certain how that procedure is different.
===In the change Start-Up disc Utility, I now see four Systems to choose from...
Mac OSX 10.4 on New 30GB HD
Mac OS 9.2.2 on New 30GB HD
Mac OS on Old 10GB HD (that's the smaller partition),
Mac OS 9.2.2 on New 30GB HD
Network Start-up
Both the second and forth choice will boot-up to OS 9.2, but as mentioned the apps won't run and files won't open
I'm guessing the reason the third choice won't boot (it reverts back to OSX Tiger when I try) is because that original System copy is OS 9.0.4 (backed-up prior to running the OS-9.1 and 9.2.1, 9.2.2 updates.). Also note, when in OS 9.2.2 when I go into that Utility... Apple/Control Panels/Startup Disk it doesn't list the old OS on the smaller partition. BTW could I now run/perform the OS-9 updates to bring that System on the smaller HD partition up to OS-9.2.2 with out causing problems (and maybe providing solutions?)
I wonder...
??? Why would I be having to choose which application would open an application---wouldn't an app open on its own (Unix Executable File")
??? When I moved the orig HD back-ups on the external USB drive I noticed a file with some kind of PC icon was being created within the folder. Currently I see that the file is now displayed as FINDER.DAT. Does this file relate to the error that refers to "appropriate translators"? Could the Apple Macintosh files being backed-up onto an external USB drive that may not have been formated as Apple HFS type be causing a problem?
??? Why wouldn't the smaller 10GB partition with the old HDD back-up copy moved to it not function like the original Hard drive? Particularly when I choose to boot to its SYSTEM w/Start-up Disc? BTW when I choose that route, the powerbook just boots to OSX Tiger.
THANKS for any replies, you all have been a great help with the challenges of upgrading...
MSG-PWRBkG3
PS:
Sorry for the long post. But, I have included as much up-front details as possible to assist in your replies. I also want to help others reading this thread later on as to what (correct or incorrect) procedures were followed... to help them see how these in-compatibility scenerios would be similiar to their situations... leading to solutions for all.

Thank you for including as much detail as you did. It makes it much easier to troubleshoot this type of issue. What I'll do is basically follow along with the procedure you used and point out where you (unknowingly) ran into problems.
"Back-up all files on the old 10GB HDD to an external USB drive."
Okay, I'm betting that this external USB drive was formatted as PC-Exchange/Windows format. Since this type of disk format doesn't have native support for the special "Mac" information about files (such as resource forks and HFS metadata like file type and creator codes), when Mac OS writes files to these disks, it needs to use a special method. When you copy the files from OS 9, OS 9 adds special "FINDER.DAT" files and also stores the resource-fork-parts of the original files inside a "RESOURCE.FRK" folder on the disk. My FAQ goes into more detail about this. When, from OS 9, you look at the files you just copied to the PC-formatted disk, and they appear identical to the files on your original 10 GB hard drive, that is in fact a complete illusion. The files as they exist on the PC-formatted disk are very different from what they appear. When you hook it up to your OS 9 Mac, the files appear fine, and you can copy them and have them work just like the original files did. If, on the other hand, you hook this PC-formatted hard drive up to your OS X Mac, it looks at the files in a completely different way. If you copy the files off of this disk from OS X, most of the files won't be usable.
"Remove old and replace w/new 40GB HDD, also install new 512MB PC-133 RAM module in lower slot."
"booted from old OS CD and ran Hard drive set-up utility with two partitions, one 30GB the other 10GB."
"Install OS 9.0.4 from that original Apple software CD onto the first 30GB partition."
"Onto same partition, ran OS-9 Update 9.1.0, then 9.2.1, then fireware update 4.1.8f5, then Update 9.2.1"
"Installed OS-X Tiger onto the first 30GB partition"
"Moved all backed-up files from the external USB drive onto the second 10GB partition."
If you did this from OS X, you will run into problems, whereas if you do this from OS 9, you'll be okay. The reason for this, as I mentioned above, is that OS X doesn't know how to "see" the files in the same way that OS 9 does.
This is what I would do. Make sure you still have the PC-formatted drive with the files you backed up from OS 9. Reboot into one of your versions of OS 9 that works properly. Hook up the external USB drive, and the files on it should appear properly and function properly. Now copy the files over onto your local hard drive and they should work properly as well. The files that you copied over from OS X won't be useful and can be deleted. Then reboot into OS X and you should be all set.
Hope this helps....

Hi, pmajor. Welcome to the Adobe user-to-user forums!
I noticed that your error report indicates that you are using build 4909 of Dreamweaver CS5, which is the release version. There have been some updates since, so I would suggest that you install the latest, 11.0.4 (build 4993), and then see if the problem persists.
You can get the latest update by going to Help > Updates in Dreamweaver, or by downloading it from the following page and then installing it: http://adobe.ly/DWUpdates

Iweb 2.0.3 won't open using OSX 10.4.11

Hi there, have had a look at a few forum postings but most appear to be from last year so thought i'd start a fresh one.
I recently updated my version of iWeb to 2.0.3. I'm using OSX10.4.11 on both a MBP and a G4. My problem is the program won't open.
I had tried deleting a plist file in the preferences folder as suggested in previous forums, but this hasn't made any difference except now I can't see the site I was working on. I have on my screen at the top the iweb options, file, edit etc but am unable to select any of these.
When I press the mouse cursor to select it turns into a spinning ball of death, round and round it goes....I haven't moved the site folder or anything like that, all I have done is update the software as suggested and now have this problem. Any useful advice would be appreciated as I rang support but my care plan ended 2 weeks ago, so it will cost $50...
Cheers,

First delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder and see if iWeb will launch. If it does ignore the following.
If deleting the preference file doesn't help, copy the Domain.sites2 file from your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb file to the Shared file on the Mac. Log into another account (create one if you don't have a second account), move the Domain.sites 2 file from the Shared account to the User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder for that account and launch iWeb.
Download and run BatChmod on the Domain.sites package with the settings shown here, putting your administrator login name in the owner section and Staff in the group section. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field. This is to insure the ownership and permissions are changed to the new account.
If iWeb opens and runs as it should you can publish from that account. You'll have to go into the System preferences to the .Mac section and put in the correct information for the account, i.e name, password, etc.
If iWeb works in the other account there could be a preference file other than iWeb's in your primary account that's causing the problem. To determine if that's the case try the following:
Trouble Shooting Preferences in Leopard
1 - Create a folder titled "Preferences A" on the Desktop.
2 - Open the working Preferences folder, HD/Users/your_name/Library/Preferences, and move the contents to the Preferences A folder on the Desktop.
3 - Make a duplicate copy of the Preferences A folder on the Desktop as a precautionary backup.
4 - With the working Preferences folder empty run the application again and determine if the problems is fixed.
5 - If the problem is fixed:
A - open the working Preferences folder (HD/Users/your_name/Library/Preferences).
B - Open the Preferences A folder on the Desktop, select all of the contents and drag them into the working Preferences folder.
C - When the Copy window pops up check the "Apply to All" check box and then click on the Don't Replace button as seen here.
6 - If the problem is NOT fixed, empty the working Preferencess folder and move the contents of the Preferences folder on the desktop back into it.

FaceTime won't Open on OSX 10.6.8

So I just bought the official FaceTime app from my Mac's App store for $0.99. It downloaded and installed uninterrupted. My issue is that It won't open at all. I'm now attempting to delete/trash the app, in hopes of reinstalling it, but I can't do that completely, because "PhoneNumbers" and "FaceTime" are in use. I don't understand how either can be in use, considering the only programs running are "Finder" and "Safari". When I did try to run FaceTime, it always gave the error, saying it couldn't run and had to shut down.
Help me, Apply Support Communities. You're my only hope.

Did you go through the verification process where Apple sends you an e mail for the purpose of verifying that your address is valid?
If I remember correctly, you must respond to a link in the e mail to verify.

AE CS6 won't launch on OSX 10.10, the update suggested to fix this (After Effects CS6 (11.0.4)) won't install

I upgraded to yosemite, and now AE won't open.
Steps I've found on the forums that I've tried and haven't worked:
updating from the application manager:
there doesn't appear to be an update for AE listed in the updates, so that one's a bust.
fixing the permissions problem mentioned here:
        the folder is already set to 'read & write' for my account, and for everyone.
Downloading and installing this update:
When I attempt to install it, Adobe Application Manager tells me this:
        so I struck out there, as well.
Are there any other things I can try? or is the next step uninstall and reinstall?

After a time-machine reboot and a clean reinstall of everything, I was able to successfully install the 11.0.4 patch. Do I get points for resolving my own question?
