Is there a way to open powerpc installer in Mavericks to just install library files (not run power pc app)?

Hello, I was looking to install some files from a power pc program.  However, I have osx x mavericks.  I know the deal, since snow leopard apple swicthed to intel processors.  I was wondering since I only need to install files and not install and run a powerpc  app ,is there any way I can get the installer open to grab these files that I need?  I just need the files, not to run the program, there has to be a way around this without having to run a program like paralells or to run a dual boot with leopard on another drive?
I'm trying to run a music plug in instrument program in Logic and I have everything installed except for the actual sound libraries wich need to be installed off this power pc installer.  I went to the companies website and downloaded and installed all of the latest updates. I then ran a report which is telling me that I just need to install the missing library files (on the powere pc installation).  Which I find confusing since I thought the whole point of the update i nstall was a way around that?  Any help would be appreciated, thanks for your time.

In my experience advising Logic users, depending upon the version of Logic and the model Mac you are using, if your Mac will boot from Snow Leopard, you can install Logic and all of its plug-ins in Snow Leopard and then upgrade to Mavericks.

    Not in Lion. PPC applications are not supported by Lion. You can try upgrading them to versions that are designed to run on Intel Macs. You can look for Intel compatible alternatives. You can partition your hard drive and install Snow Leopard on one partition that you can use to run PPC applications by installing the Rosetta emulator when you install Snow Leopard.
    Beyond this it's hard to assist because you did not state what PPC applications you want to run.

  • Is there any way to open a file with a .msi extension on my new mac?

    I have Camtasia from the pc I was using. It has a .msi file extension for the installation file. Is there any way to open the Camtasia installation file with the .msi extension on my new Mac?
    Thanks,

    That's a Microsoft program which requires Windows. You could run on your Mac if you install Windows on it.
    Windows on Intel Macs
    There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
    Install the Apple Boot Camp software.  Purchase Windows 7 or Windows 8.  Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows.  Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
    Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows.  The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
    VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.  It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
    Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc.  There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization.  The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. A more recent comparison of Parallels, VM Fusion, and Virtual Box is found at Virtualization Benchmarks- Parallels 10 vs. Fusion 7 vs. VirtualBox. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard and later. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
    You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

  • Is there a way to open the right click menu on the left side of your pointer?

    Whenever I try to right-click an object that's located on the right side of the screen, the pointer always automatically click whatever entry in the right-click menu which just happens to be under the pointer the moment the menu is opened. I noticed that the reason this happens is because the right click menu always forces itself to open on the right side of the pointer, and when there isn't enough space, the right-click menu will open underneath the pointer. Since this is horribly inconvenient, is there a way to open the right-click menu on the left side of your pointer?

    Are you saying you have an icon on the far right side and when you rt click on it, your pointer ends up opening wherever it lands? That is a two step process, or normally should be at least a two step process. Do you have a Mouse in your Control Panel? You should check, because there may be some properties with which you can play. For instance, I can switch primary and secondary functions on my mouse buttons by checking a box.
    When I rt click on right side, the menu opens on the left.
    When I rt click on left side, the menu opens on the right.
    In order for me to take an action, I then have to move to an area in that menu and click.
    I hope I understood your question correctly.

    Is there a way to open the mircophone channel using Apple Remote Desktop so I can listen on anything thats happening at my computer at home? If not is there another software that would work?
    You would have to launch software that would accept audio from the microphone and transmit it to you in some fashion. ARD does not transmit audio itself. Another remote control solution such as Timbuktu might transmit audio, so you could look into that, perhaps.
    Also is there a way to use apple's software to control and watch a PC?
    You can install a VNC server on the PC and ARD can then take control of the system. It can be tricky to find a VNC system that will work with ARD, though, so search this forum for "VNC" for possible options. One of the applications that support Microsoft's remote desktop architecture such as their own Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac or iTap Mobile RDP will probably work better, though.

  • Is there a way to open a new window from the "Go" menu in Mavericks?

    Before Mavericks, I was able to go from the Finder to the top menu "Go" -> "Utilities", or Applications or Home… and a new window would open.

    Is there a way to open a new window from the "Go" menu?
    First, as others have already stated.....make sure the checkbox is deselected for "open folders in tabs instead of windows" in Finder Preferences.
    If you're like me and don't like tabs very much, there is a way to make folders always open in windows with a simple click (I'm using Mavericks 10.9.5).  Go to a root folder (for example, the Documents Folder), open it, and select View > Hide Toolbar, then all folders within that root folder will open in a new window.
    As an alternative method, any folder can be opened in a new window by holding down either Command Key while clicking the folder. But sooner or later you will forget to hold down that key, and then clicking on a folder will open in a tab (which will automatically resize the window and cause much aggravation).
    The Hide Toolbar trick will also work with any folder present on the Desktop. It will make all folders inside that folder open in new windows.
    To make the Applications Folder open in a new window when opening it from the menu bar at the top of the screen, you will have to open the main hard drive folder and use the Hide Toolbar trick. This will cause all folders inside it to open in new windows.
    Hope this helps.

  • Is there a way to open multiple childs of Accordian at a same time

    Hi,
    Is there a way to open multiple childs of Accordain at a same time.
    My requiremnets is something like this:--
    Thanks for any help on this in Advance.
    Regards
    Munira

    You can have multiple nodes open on a tree, so I guess you could open them all up on a button click.
    Another option that might be possible is to use individual Accordians for each section and then use the click function to close the others.

  • Is there a way to open two albums at once?

    I have two albums that I want to compare the pictures in, some but not all of the photos are the same, and I do not want identical albums. Is there any way to open a second album in another window, where I can have them side by side to compare.
    Thanks in advance.

    Another option is to make a smart album with the criteria: Album is XXXX and Album is YYYY. Rather awkward but would work.

    THis is safe for Mac's? Sorry, I have just never heard of this site before.
    And there are literally tens of thousands of sites of which I've not heard, too. Not this one.
    It's legit. There are lots of links in Apple Support Communities to the LibreOffice web site, as well as others that are legitimate open-source developers of options to buying MS Office, such as NeoOffice and OpenOffice. I have Open Office installed on one of my older Macs that can't run Office 2011 and it is rock-solid.

  • Is there any way to create an installer for Mac OS and Linux OS once a stand alone application is created?

    Is there any way to create an installer for Mac OS and Linux OS once a stand alone application is created?  I have created an executable application that I want to distribute to Mac and Linux users (different applications were created in the respective OS).  I was wondering if there is any way to create an installer?  I think there probably isn't...  If the user were to simply download the Labview Run-time Engine from ni.com would they be able to run the application or is it more complicated than that?
    Thanks so much for your time.

    I think Shane tried to say, that it is on the Mac OS X installation DVD, NOT the LabVIEW for Mac OS X installation medium. And that could very well have changed in recent Mac OS X versions as well. They used to have Xcode on it too, but that seems gone as well.

  • Is there a way of opening up old PSD documents and photos on the iMac please?

    Is there a way of opening up old PSD documents and photos on the iMac please?

    .psd (photoshop) files should open in preview to view them and make some simple adjustments. 
    If you want to edit them but don't want the expense of buying Photoshop (or Elements) for your Mac, consider downloading Gimp - it's free.
