Is it possible to run OS 9 CD-ROMs on an Intel-based iMAC?

My children have a bunch of CD-ROMs that run using Mac OS 9.
Is there any way to run these on an Intel-based iMAC?
My kids were so excited to get a new MAC and then so disappointed when they found they couldn't play some of their favourite games on it.

A quick search of the forum comes up with these results. Sheepshaver is an option sometimes.

The old machine was running OS 10.5.8.  Not all my files transferred (or I can't find them).  I've seen recommendations to select the old computer in System Preferences, but that didn't work.  Help.  Thanks!

    IMO, wrong choice. Start over, using a FireWire cable and following the steps in Pondini's Setup New Mac guide.

  • I have an Intel-based iMac G5, running OS 10.6.8. Can I upgrade to Mountain Lion?

    I just upgraded from 2GB RAM to 4GB, thinking this was all I needed to do. But now it's telling me that Mountain Lion won't run on my machine. So am I stuck in the pre-iCloud world?

    You may upgrade it to Lion if you wish, but frankly you're just as well off with Snow Leopard. But if upgrading is what you need to do:
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
         Are my applications compatible?

  • Is software now on G4 running on Intel-based iMac

    I will order a new iMac Core Duo 20" but I am not sure
    my software (now on G4) is running on this machine.Please give me some advice. Thanks and regards Herbby
    G4   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Photoshop is not yet a Universal Binary and runs under Rosetta on Intel Macs. According to X-plane's website, it is a Universal Binary but it is not clear if that is just 8.x or 7.x as well. I'd guess that it is only 8.x but you should contact them to find out.

  • Will my lexmark 8350 work with my intel based iMac running leopard

    I have a lexmark 8350 all-in-one printer. Will it work with my iMac?
    Thanks

    Seems that Lexmark does not make a driver for OS X nor is one included with OS X.
    Best to return it and find one that has drivers for OS X. If you want a Lexmark product, then here you will find the lists of compatible products.

  • How can I check for spyware on my Intel based mid-2007 iMac running Lion?

    I recently received a message stating that my Intel based iMac desktop may contain spyware plus a friend sent me a copy of an email to my iCloud email address that i did not send to him, i was not even home using my iMac on that date. I do have anti-virus software on my iMac from Integra and I do a scan each day before i shutdown the iMac and have not received any such warnings from that software.
    I do appreciate any and all advise I can receive in this matter. A long time ago I did receive an email a Yahoo based email address and was notified that I could possibly loose my email account due to junk email being sent from my iMac. I did have the support/warranty from Apple at that time and a phone rep did talk me through steps to check for any intrusion to my iMac with negative results, the iMac was clear of any spyware, etc.
    Hoping there is the same for this issue.

    You can't use a specific Mac OS X disc for a Mac with a different computer. First, call Apple and buy Mac OS X Snow Leopard > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 Then, make a backup, insert the DVD and upgrade OS X. Finally, open  > Software Update and install the most recent version

  • Is it possible to run sub vi and main vi at same time from startup?

    Is it possible to run both my main vi and my two sub vi`s from startup, all of them continuously? I have to sub vi`s that are supposed to take in measurements from two different instruments continuously. I manage to make a program where I can open up and close the sub vi`s, but when my sub vi`s are closed, nothing is happening in them...and they start to run again when I open them...and I have to close them if my main VI is supposed to run. So the data in the chart is only from the periodes when the sub vi has been open.
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    I will send my labview programs. "Hovedprogram" is my main vi, "front" and "front 2" is my sub vi`s. I am also using global variables. I have already searched the discussion forum trying to find an answer to my problem, but I haven`t quite managed yet...
    My sub vi`s are not connected to any instrument now, but I have inserted a sinewave-generator and a chart in "front"(my sub vi) so I am able to see that the sub vi actually stop running when i close the window.

  • Is it possible to run the Classic Environment INSIDE Rosetta on a MacBook Pro (Early 2008) with Leopard?

    Hi there,
    Rosetta works up until Snow Leopard. The Classic Environment works up until a late version of Tiger. Rosetta makes apps. built for PowerPC Macs work. The Classic Environment make apps. for Mac OS 9 work on Mac OS X for PowerPC Macs.
    Would it consequently be possible to run the Classic Environment INSIDE Rosetta?
    I have read https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2292, but I am still unconvinced unless there is a flaw to my logic. At any rate, I subscribe to the Churchillian adage of never giving in unless the forces of common sense and doctrine dictate otherwise.
    If it won't work, then why?
    Best Regards,
    Stefan

    Hi there, Klaus1, BDAqua and a brody,
    Thank you ever so much for your kind replies! (I tried giving you the 10 pts. of 'Correct Answers' to each of you, but unfortunately it was only possible for Klaus1, so the points were distributed between him and BDAqua even though you were all helpful!)
    My next question will naturally be: Is SheepShaver legal? My Google search didn't yield any conslusive proof that it was, nor any that it wasn't, but as the E-Maculation web page seemed quite official and above board I would assume that it is.
    The next logical step would be to ask whether it's safe for both HW and SW to run SheepShaver. HW, it appears, is very rarely, if ever, affected by SW settings, so I would assume that hardwarewise, I'm good to go. Could it ruin the kernel of Mac OS X's Unix-based operating system?
    Kind Regards,
    Stefan

  • Is it possible to run an application from a user or container login script?

    Is it possible to run an application from a user login script or a container login script?
    A "Force Run" application object works fine if the user's workstation is setup to auto-load "Application Window" or "Application Explorer" but in this case I'd like to run an application when someone does a manual login (ie. they right-click red "N" and choose "Novell Login...")
    Using a User Package's "Scheduled Action Policy" and the Event=Login also does not work when a user logs in manually. This type of Event seems to only apply when the user first logs into the workstation, not at a manual login.
    Thanks,
    Marc

    > Is it possible to run an application from a user login script or a

  • Is it possible to run a java program without using the command prompt?

    Hi,
    I was wondering whether it is possible to run a Java program (not an applet) without using a command line in the command prompt?
    Basically I want to run a program that will be continually running in the background and hence I don't want to have a command prompt screen loaded up as well - I just want the program to be running in the task bar.
    I know how to run the program in the task bar - but I still need to launch the program from the command prompt - is there anyway I can get a program running without having to start it from the command prompt?
    Cheers

    Or create a desktop shortcut (in Windows) or an application launcher ( in Linux GUI).

  • Is it possible to run two different versions of Apple operating system (for ex. 10.6.8 and 10.9) on a MacBook Pro, either on the same disk or from an external hard disk? If so, where would I find the details?

    Is it possible to run two different versions of Apple operating system (for ex. 10.6.8 and 10.9) on a MacBook Pro, either on the same disk or from an external hard disk? If so, where would I find the details? (In order to be able to use the older applications no longer supported in 10.9)

    If you want to add a second partition to the internal drive (in Disk Utility, select the drive, then open the partition tab and just click the + button), you should first be sure that you will have enough room to accommodate whatever the second volume will be. I am currently doing this for Snow and Mountain Lion.
    To get to whatever volume is not the startup disk, restart and hold down option/alt at the chime, which will bring up a selection of the two volumes. Use the left or right arrow keys to select it and then hit enter/return.

  • Is it possible to run 5.5 on windows 8.1??

    Is it possible to run Photoshop 5.5 on Windows 8.1? I have a CD which I tried to run but when I click on install nothing is happening. I have CS6 trial already running on the laptop, so my question is, is it because I need to uninstall CS6 (although I haven't got a warning message come up to tell me to do that first before running 5.5, so don't want to get rid of the CS6 trial without making sure that it is the problem) or whether 5.5 will not run on Windows 8.1 anyway.
    Your time and advice would be greatly appreciated, as need to know whether I need to return the 2nd hand 5.5 CD.

    Thanks so much Gene. I really appreciate your time and suggestions.
    Btw, should have been clearer  as one couldn't imagine I meant that 5.5 (i.e. ancient one). The adobe website also has this info: Windows 8.1 compatibility for Adobe Photoshop version 5 which just says version 5.5 under compatibility. So it does seem possible indeed to run this but perhaps for someone more techie. Had a look at the thread re: 6.0 and tried to run it as admin. Tried copying the contents on the desktop and change the compatibility under properties (even ran compatibility trouble shooter under properties) - but in vain. Must be doing something wrong. Prolly easier to return the CD (:/)
    If anyone could drop an idea in relation to how/where to buy a genuine and legal copy of a CS5/CS6 I woudl greatly appreciate. I bought the 5.5 off eBay and probably will search for the right version this time on there again. But it's a bit of a question mark for me in regards to how do I make sure that I buy a genuine licenced version which I can register with the Adobe.

    OK, well I would go with what Apple says in writing but if you want to take a trip to visit the Genius Bar that won't hurt.
    Good luck, I'm 99% certain  you will find I was correct but please let us know.

  • Is it possible to run Posture using ISE 1.2 without NAC Agent provisioning?

    Is it possible to run Posture using ISE 1.2 without NAC Agent provisioning?
    -My customer does not want to push NAC Agent installation on BYOD type of computers (non-managed by the company computers).
    -The requirement is to check for posture only company owned wired, wireless, and VPN connected Windows computers. The rest of the endpoints should be considered as posture incompliant, and limited access to the network should be allowed.
    -No certificates are used.
    -I’ve configured the required posture check, and it all works fine if a PC has NAC Agent manually installed (without ISE Client Provisioning). However, when I use a PC without NAC Agent, it is redirected to Client Provisioning Portal and is stuck there as Client Provisioning is deliberately not configured in ISE.
    -If I remove Posture Remediation Authorization Profile that does URL redirect, the posture does not work.
    -For now I'm testing it on wired endpoints.
    Is there a way to configure ISE to fulfill the listed above requirements?
    Any ideas would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Val Rodionov

    Everyone who finds reads this article,
    I'm answering my own quesiton "Is it possible to run Posture using ISE 1.2 without NAC Agent provisioning?"
    The answer is Yes.
    After doing research and configuration testing I came up with a solution, and it works fine for wired and VPN connections. I expect it to work on wireless endpoints as well.
    ISE configuration:
    Posture General Settings - Default Posture Status = NonCompliant
    Client Provisioning Policy - no rules defined
    Posture Policy - configured per requirements
    Client Provisioning (under Administration > Settings) - Enable Provisioning = Enable (it was disabled in my first test)
    Authorization Policies configured as regular posture policies
    The result:
    After successful dot1x authentication posture redirect happens. If the PC does not have NAC Agent preinstalled, the browser is redirected to Client Provisioning Portal and a default ISE message is displayed (ISE is not able to apply and access policy... wait one minute and try to connect again...). At the same time, the endpoint is assigned NonCompliant posture status and proper authorization policy is applied. This is what I wanted to achieve.
    If NAC Agent was preinstalled on the PC, after successful dot1x authentication the NAC Agent pops up and performs posture check. If posture is successful, posture compliant authorization policy is applied. If posture check fails, NonCompliant posture status is assigned and posture non-compliant authorization policy is applied. Which is the expected and needed result.
    The only part that is not perfect it the message displayed to the end-user when posture is about to fail. I did not find a place to change the text of that message. I might need to open TAC case, so this file can be manually found and edited from CLI (root access).
    Best,
