Is app software for 10.2.8 usable with 10.5?

I'm now running OS 10.2.8 and thinking of buying a new Mac which would be loaded with 10.5 Leopard. Would my present application software be usable with 10.5, or would I have to replace all my apps software? Mainly I'm concerned about Entourage for e-mail, Microsoft Office word-processing, Epson Stylus C88 printer and Hewlett Packard Scanjet 3970 scanner. Thanks for info.

Chances are very slim that any of your apps would work since the new machines are all Intel based, so it's not just the change in OS, but the change in the actual hardware. The only apps that would run would have to be Universal Binary, and unless some of your apps are brand new, they would not run at all. Certainly you would have to buy the latest versions of MSOffice, etc.
As far as your hardware, it's unlikely that they would work properly, but they might. You would have to check with each of them to see if they have drivers for Leopard/Intel or if they are natively supported. Leopard supports many old printers, scanners, etc., but not all of them.
I would keep your present machine in case there are problems with your old hardware and Leopard/Intel.

  • What is the best software for burning a large slideshow with 500 photos and music to DVD?

    What is the best software for burning a large slideshow with 500 photos and music to DVD?

    Are you talking about strictly burning an already put-together slideshow or composing one and then burning it?
    My all time favorite slide show maker is Photo to Movie; you can then burn it from there or get it into iMovie and/or iDVD for the "finishing" touch. My favorite burn software is Toast, although you can use iMovie, iDVD, and Finder as well.

  • Error installing N-Trig MultiTouch software for HP TouchSmart tx2 1270us with OS Windows 7

    Hello. I would like to ask somebody to help me installing the Multitouch technology on my TouchSmart tx2 1270us Notebook PC. The original system came with OS Windows Vista. I bought an Upgrade for Vista from Microsoft and installed Windows 7. The problem is, that I can not use my Notebook as a Tablet( normally its working), because during the instalation of the file, downloaded from drivers&support page, comes an FATAL ERROR DURING INSTALATION, which says, that N-Trig HARDWARE was not found on my OS. The Multitouch technology does not work with WINDOWS VISTA. All I did before, was Windows reinstalation due to extremely slowed down system running, caused by too many installed programs and aplications. Exactly that reinstalation caused the whole problem. Now Im very sad about that and can not write on the display with a finger. Can anyone please help ME? If you want I can pay something. PLEASE HELP... Thanks.

    Hello DimtrijShal:
             Sorry to hear about Windows 7 failer. Are you able to do a full recovery using your orginal recovery disk? If so please back up all the files you have before doing it. Write down the Windows 7 product code also. We will need it ounce you have vista windows reinstalled. You can find it in the package it came in or in the control panel displaying computers information. This number is also none as product key.
         Now that your computer has been restored to original factory condition. You are now able to update Vista Windows to Windows 7 but this time you are going to use Windows Up Advisory open it up should be listed. This time just type in Windows 7 Product Code number and let it do its thing.
           You can also goto your computers update web-page and see what's all involved in Up grading to Windows 7 they may have HP's Touchsmart software upgrades listed for downloads. Most Touchsmart software is listed. I have not yet seen any that did not display them. Yes you are in the correct section for your post. Some one need to realise HP Touchsmart tx2 are Touch computers also. So do not move your post from here. Let us know if you are still having troubles with your upgrade. Thank you frrw

  • DVR Software for Video Streaming and Viewing with a Mac on a LAN

    I can purchase 4 video cameras. I can purchase a DVR.
    However, I do not know who makes any software to take 4 video streams into the DVR and either
    (1) write them on a DVD which can be viewed on my G5, or
    (2) provide a LAN interface from my G5 to the DVR to download the files over the LAN to my hard drive and view (and potentially edit) them on my Apple G5 and monitor system.
    The PC world requires a PC software with ActiveX which I do not believe is available on Macs. Is there any reliable way of getting ActiveX operational on a MacOS 10.4 G5 system?
    Will this become easier when Apple fully migrates to Intel chips. Can any of the Intel chip Mac systems sold by Apple today using MacOS 4.X be used with ActiveX (or equivalent)?
    Now, aren't these interesting questions. Will Apple move into 2006 with a bang and provide a wireless DVR????

    *"Apple states this is possible, but I don't see much in the ARD manual about using Java viewers."*
    As stated on the page you linked to...yes it's possible...with VNC client/server packages, not ARD.

  • 3rd Party Software for Charting

    Can anyone recommend 3rd Party Software for Charting (pie chart, bar chart etc)
    I have tried to use the Cold Fusion charts <CFCHART> etc..... but they just dont create professional looking charts.
    I bought Fusion Charts.
    It worked great for a while.
    But the charts dont render on IPADS and now they have printing issues.
    So now I have decided to start anew.
    I want charting software that outputs to professional looking JPG, GIF or PNG images (NO FLASH!!)
    Does anyone have any suggestions for 3rd Party Software for Charting that integrates well with my existing cold fusion pages?

    in case you already didn't know, you can go a long way by tweaking the
    webcharts3D bits that cf uses for cfchart. look under your cf install for the
    cfusion\charting dir. there should be a batch file to start the editor & a user
    guide PDF. there's even an eclipse plugin:

    for tricks & tips have a search through ray's blog:

    *Does anyone have any suggestions for 3rd Party Software for Charting that

    we have more "sciencey" needs for our charting than cfchart can easily provide &
    use jfreechart for most of our apps' graphing.

    though to get the most of this lib you probably need to cough up $65 US for the

  • What is a reliable conversion dvd software for ipad 2

    what is a reliable conversion dvd software for ipad 2 and compatible with windows vista?

    Handbrake.
    Note that Handbrake doesn't decrypt an encrypted DVD, it relies on your DVD driver to do that for you (most Windows 7 and all OS X drivers perform the decryption for you).
    If the DVD is encrypted and your DVD driver does not perform the decryption for you, it probably means that it isn't licensed for that purpose. In that case, Handbrake won't work.
    Be mindful of both copyright and DMCA rules in the US. Under US copyright law, copying or format-shifting a work is fine in certain circumstances ("fair use" - editorializing, making parody, educational purposes, content backup, format shifting for personal use), but they are limited. However, in the USA, accessing an encrypted work without a licensed decryption tool is a felony EVEN IF YOU HOLD THE COPYRIGHT ON THE ENCRYPTED WORK. In fact, posessing an unlicensed encryption tool, or even writing down numbers or algorithms associated with decrypting content is a felony - so don't do it (in the US).
    If you live outside the US, then generally there's rules against redistribution of works, but little to none against decrypting or making personal copies. Check with the local authority in your jurisdiction for more info.
