IS THERE A LIST OF APPS NO LONGER SUPPORTED BY LION?

IS THERE A LIST OF APPS NO LONGER SUPPORTED BY LION?

You even gave me a star for my sarcastic answer. Now I suppose I should earn it for real
I would not consider any list of applications known "not supported by Lion" to be valid. I did a quick check of the Roaring apps survey and found identical applications listed as both compatible and incompatible. Which is it? None of my applications are listed, including the one I haven't touched since 2006 and that works just fine in Lion.
Any application developer, including Intuit, is free to release an upgrade that will enable their software to work in Lion or even make use of Lion's new features. For an application to not function in Lion, it must be either:
1) Highly specialized, well-made, and very dependent on a specific version of the underlying operating system. Parallels is a good example.
2) Poorly written. I won't give any examples for this category, but you know who they are. Any application that doesn't employ low-level operating system interfaces and breaks in Lion means that its developers do not care about the product or its customers. They are using interfaces that have been declared obsolete by Apple years ago. They have made a caculated decision to not update the software until something actually breaks. Furthermore, they have made no effort to test their software against beta versions of Lion. Or maybe they did and the software is so poorly written that they couldn't port it from 10.6 to 10.7 in six months.
3) Completely abandonned. Quicken is the primary example. It was last updated in 2007 and those updates completely ignored the changes to the Intel processor in 2006.
You are unlikely to encounter anything from category 1 above. Those developers worked with Apple to get their software ready before Lion was ready. There are a large number of applications in category 2 and 3. Some are very expensive, prompting people to hang on to them for years. Any developer that sells software more expensive than the computer it runs on considers their software to be the priority. In those cases, the computer and operating system are merely vehicles for you to use their product. Updates to either are not allowed or supported. You know who I'm talking about here. You are free to fork over another $1200 for the latest version that will work on Lion. Just don't expect it to work on 10.8 - because it surely won't.

  • Is there a list of apps with Airplay support for iPad 1 (drawing apps in particular)?

    I'm interested in a drawing or painting application that supports Airplay for iPad 1 in hopes to use the iPad as an electronic chalk board when coupled with a big TV. iPad 1 does not support Airplay Mirror so the app itself has to be able to stream screen content (just like iTunes for music on iPad 1). Have been searching for hours. None explicitly say that they do and I can't just buy every application until I find one that suppports airplay. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    I have some bad news for you. Of the very few drawing (including even photo retouching apps like iPhoto) apps that do support TV out are either iPad 2+ only (iPhoto) or while supporting wired external monitor connections, don't support the same over AirPlay.
    The closest hit is ArtStudio for iPad. On my iPad 1, it works just great over VGA / HDMI (that is, over wires) but not AirPlay. None of the other drawing apps I've tested (ArtRage, Draw! etc.) support external wired monitors, let alone AirPlay ones. iPhoto, in addition to not being a truly painting / drawing app, only shows  the results of operations, not even the interim state and is, therefore, completely useless. (And it's iPad 2+ only.)
    All in all, upgrade to iPad 2/3 and use AirPlay mirroring.

  • Just upgraded to Mavericks and my HP6100 printer no longer works, when I try to reload the software it says PowerPC apps no longer supported.  Is there a way to use my HP6100 Printer with Mavericks?

    Just upgraded my 2009 iMac (3.06 Ghz, core 2 duo $GB 1067 Mhz DDR3) to Mavericks OSX 10.9.5 and my HP6100 printer no longer works, when I try to reload the software it says PowerPC apps no longer supported.  Printer says the software was improperly installed. Is there a way to use my HP6100 Printer with Mavericks or do I need to go back to Mountain Lion or Snow Leopard? 

    It's not clear whether your printer is included in the Apple list - there is an Officejet 6100 and a couple of other types. Go to the page linked to above and use the browser search for 6100.
    I'm afraid HP are notorious for not supporting older printers - I had the same problem. Probably they hope you will buy another printer (I did, but it was a Canon). I did look on HP's site and couldn't see a driver - you could give it a try (make sure you have the exactly correct printer name):
    http://www8.hp.com/uk/en/support-search.html?tab=1#/qryterm=HP6100&search_search type=s-002
    Alternatively ou could try Gutenprint (open source software):
    http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php
    I found it would indeed drive the printer, but the colour dithering wasn't very satisfactory and the duplex printing bolt-on wouldn't work. However as Gutenprint is free it's worth trying to see if it's any good for you.

  • How can I get a list of apps which are supported on ipod touch model ma623zo?

    How can I get a list of apps which are supported on ipod touch model ma623zo?
    It's about 6 years old I think.
    I have put the latest IOS on there (currently 3.1.3 (7E18)).
    I download apps from the app store but they often fail to launch. I assume they're incompatible.
    Is there a way to check which apps will work and which won't before I buy them?
    Thanks!

    I have no idea how my reply could be "misleading". I stated the exact situation: there are millions of apps in the iTunes Store, and providing a comprehensive, accurate list of which apps support which version(s) of iOS would be highly impractical. You can perhaps help with your search by going to AppShopper:
    http://appshopper.com/search/?search=iOS+3
    That will give you at least some starting points, but AppShopper is neither comprehensive nor completely accurate. I've found a number of apps listed there over the time the site has existed that either are no longer offered or which have been updated beyond the iOS version indicated. But it might help.
    Regards.

  • Hi, is there any programme instead of i-dvd which no longer supported with lion? Toast11 had terrible reviews, . Aimersoft DVD creator is any better?

    Hi, is there any programme instead of i-dvd which is no longer supported with lion? Toast11 had terrible reviews, . Aimersoft DVD creator is any better?

    Not quite true. iDVD IS compatible with Lion, but does not Come with Lion.  I have a fully updated version of Lion 10.7.4 and I installed a previous copy of iDVD from backup of Snow Leopard, and iDVD works fine.  You just need to find a copy of it in iLife 11 or somewhere.
    Hope this helps

  • Microsoft apps are not supported by Lion?

    Is it true microsoft apps are not supported by Lion? I just upgraded and now I'm getting a message my microsoft apps are no longer available. Any upgrades to bring them online?

    You have Office 2004 and that won't run on Lion. You have three options:
    1. Upgrade to Office 2008 or 2011
    2. Download the free Office suite Libreoffice
    3. Buy Apple's 'Numbers' (for spreadsheets), 'Keynote' (for Powerpoint) and/or 'Pages' (for word processing) programs from the App store.
    A fourth option would be to revert to Snow Leopard.

  • Var apps no longer working on Lion

    Hi All,
    Just upgraded to Lion to find var apps not working.
    Specifically Office 2004 which wilst I'm not exactly happy with can live without, but still don't appreciate fact this was not sufficently advertised as being an issue BEFORE i upgraded, and now need to buy  either upgrade or switch to something else.
    But other apps have stopped as well, presumably for same reason.
    My Daughter went to play Zoo Tycoon this morning and that seems to have gone the same way.
    anyone know if this can be "fixed" or there is an upgrade available for Zoo Tycoon ? or is tehre a version that WILL work on Lion ?
    Like I say not happy doing what was billed as relatively minor upgrade (10.7 to 10.8 doesn't SOUND like a significant upgrade) being much more troublesome than anything I've done previously.
    any suggestions ?
    Thanks
    David

    This is a fairly well known issue, caused by OS X 10.7 Lion dropping the Rosetta emulator, which allowed PowerPC code to run on Intel systems. My system is set up as a dual boot system, which uses Lion for everyday use, but can also be booted to Snow Leopard when I need access to a few PowerPC programs I have.
    If you want to see what is affected, click on the apple on the left of the menu bar, about this mac, more info, system report, and under software click applications. This will take a few moments to populate. Then click on kind and scroll down to find PowerPC. These programs will no longer run under Lion.
    Zoo Tycoon 2 is available in a univeral binary which will run on Intel systems. If you buy an older version, here's the upgrade link to the free upgrade so it will run on Intel systems.

  • Final Cut studio won't install- "powerpc apps no longer supported"

    I'm trying to install my old copy of final cut studio 5.1 and it tells me 'power pc apps are no longer supported', however this is a universal copy of studio 5.1 (intel or powerpc) and it's being installed on an intel machine. Any thoughts?

    There are lots of threads on this subject if you do a search, but the answer is that you need to install Rossetta from a  Snow Leopard disc to be able to run the installer.  Also, I believe you need to update to 5.1.4 before you launch FCP and even then it's not a guarantee that the software will be trouble free under Lion.

  • Applications that came with Epson printer on Win XP respond "Can't open... PowerPC apps no longer supported.  Were they in Snow Leopard before I upgraded?

    Epson pinter came with photo apps that ran under Windows XP. Loaded onto iMac 27", they don't respond with "Not compatable with Mac" but rather with "You can't open the application ..... whichever one ..... because PowerPC applications are no longer supported".  Were they supported under Snow Leopard OS before I upgraded to Lion?  Why "NO LONGER" SUPPORTED?

      Were they supported under Snow Leopard OS before I upgraded to Lion? 
    Yes, using something called Rosetta.
    Why "NO LONGER" SUPPORTED?
    OS X 10.7 does not support Power PC applications.  I do not speak for Apple, but it appears they determined that since most applications are written Universal Binary, there was no reason to incur the expense of maintenance in the new OS X. 
    Many manufacturers have provided updates for older equipment (some have not).  I suggest you either run software update andor check with Epson.

  • Microsfot Sync Services in Lion - isync problems - keep getting message that can't open application  Microsoft Sync Services because PowerPC apps no longer supported since upgrading to Lion. what is this and how do I get rid of the message?

  • Can't open photoshop 4.0 power pc apps no longer supported

    is there a work around?

    No, sorry. 10.7 won't let you run any PPC apps. If you need PPC apps, don't upgrade to lion. There was plenty of publicity about this ahead of time.

  • Mountain Lion- Power PC App no longer supported

    Just downloaded Mountain Lion.  Got message cannot open Quicken.  Power PC App are not longer supported.  What happened?  Need Quicken.  Please help.

    Just so all of the pertinent information is posted here for others with the same problem:
    Intuit released Quicken Essentials some years ago, which is written for Intel and hence will work on Lion/Mountain Lion.  However, most Quicken users are very unhappy with the limited features offered in Quicken Essentials.  Normally the Genuis Bar advisors would be correct to advise users to update to the latest version of a software package.  Howerver, in the case of Quicken, it is a mistake; and one they are not likely to be aware of.
    Users of Quicken 2005, 2006 & Quicken 2007, can now purchase for $15 from Intuit Quicken 2007 for Lion (which also works with Mountain Lion) and it will work from day one with your existing data file:
    http://quicken.intuit.com/personal-finance-software/quicken-2007-osx-lion.jsp
    Users of Quicken 2004 and earlier must use the PowerPC version of Quicken 2006 or 2007 to first update their data files and then they can use Quicken 2007 for Lion.  Obviously the PPC versions of Quicken 2006 or 2007 will NOT run in Lion or Mountain Lion, as is, so you must either update these data files BEFORE you update to Lion/Mountain Lion or find a way to run this PPC program in Snow Leopard (alternative computer, dual-boot into Snow Leopard or Snow Leopard installed in Parallels 7 in Lion).
    Quicken 2006 PPC can be obtained from Ferd at this website:

  • PowerPC apps no longer support - error message from Elements that I bought yesterday

    Well, you've clearly not test your code for several years.
    I bought Elements from Apple' Appstore yesterday, I did an hour of work, saved the file as a PSD file, when I opened it today I got an error message saying that the file couldn't be opened as POWERPC applications were no longer supported.
    POWERPC!!!!!!!??????????? WTF??????????????
    So - I want a refund.
    In return I'll delete your joke of a product from my 13 month old INTEL MacBookPro and never purchase another Adobe product.
    Hope that's a deal.
    Thanks
    Neil

    Do you think you're talking to customer support, are you just venting, or would you like to try to solve this? If the first, this is just a user to user forum and you're just talking to other adobe customers here, not adobe, and nobody here can give anyone a refund. For that, you would need to use the Report a Problem link on your apple store receipt.
    On the other had, if you want to try to figure out the problem we'll try to help.

  • Videos no longer supported since Lion upgrade

    Since upgrading to 3.1.3 and Lion videos are no longer supported in Aperture. Is there a solution to this?

    I have been trying to find an answer to this for days.  I lugged my 27 in imac to genius bar last night and they said to wait because they are sure apple will have a fix sometime soon? 
    I have my managed library on a firewire extended hd.  I loaded aperture on an old macbook I have running snow leopard and it does just fine, on lion the videos won't play and crashes, sometimes it crashes regardless, preview images are pixelated.....
    I have libraries everywhere now trying to find a solution.  If you drag a video out of the library, and then back into aperture, it will ask if I want to play in quicktime and then plays normally?  weird.
