Is there any workaround at all to run PM7 on a Intel-based Mac?

Dear friends:
I have recently purchased a MacBook Pro and, before I did, I asked some questions to Apple about the possibility of having the software pre-installed, specifically, BootCamp and Classic, receiving the computer with a partition already made and requirements of the sort. Basically, Technical Support told me that they were not able to perform any of these tasks, although the person I have spoken to said to me that I could run PageMaker (I think he mentioned an update). After a couple of days researching, it appears that I have been misinformed. Unfortunately I have several hundreds of PageMaker files in archive, and I cannot afford to lose the ability to open them directly (I am a radical InDesign fan, I have used it since v.1.0). Does anybody know any workaround at all to run PageMaker 7 on a Intel-based Mac? Maybe some software to emulate the Classic? Maybe an upgrade or a third-party application? I cannot believe that MacOS supports Windows (in fact, I have installed Windows Vista) better than its predecessor Mac OS 9.2.2.
Thanks a lot for your time,
Eduardo Guarniz

Well there are two ways. the best way is to have an old machine that boots OS9. If you don't have one, buy one. I found one for about $69 a few years ago I'm sure they are even cheaper now.
There is some software called SheepShaver its supposed to run Classic apps on a Mactel. With all the problems of running PM in Classic (I would never use PM for production in Classic) Its probably even worse running on SheepShaver.
Be smart get the old machine.

  • Is there a way to view Windows Media Files on the Intel based Mac's?

    I tried downloding WMP for Mac and also Flip4Mac but I could not install either because it said the programs don't support Intel based Mac's. I thought they would automatically run under Rosetta. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Think I ran into the same issue. I suspect MS will
    have to upgrade MP to Universal Binary before it
    works correctly. I'm not holding my breath....
    That's good because Microsoft has discontinued all support for WMP on OS X. They recommend you download Flip4Mac instead.

  • Is there any maintenance at all, to run with Lion? 6 years ago...

    Maintenance? I asked this same question 6 years ago when I got my iMac/Tiger. Other than shutting down properly, making sure Firewall is on, not running any anti virus programs (in most cases) and avoiding most 3rd party utility programs. Is there anything needed other than Repair Permissions? (I know that this too, is a contoversial subject....Thanks, Bill

    If you want to you can also run the built-in maintenance scripts. These scripts are scheduled to run between 03:15 and 05:30, so they won't run quite often. There are two ways to run these scripts manually:
    1. With Yasu (Download: http://jimmitchell.org/yasu/ )
    2. In the Terminal with this command:
    sudo periodic daily weekly monthly
    Please copy and paste it and do not type it since it is a "sudo" command.
    This command will execute the daily, weekly and monthly script. You can also run only one script if you want to. You won't see any graphical output in the terminal.

  • Running Windows on an Intel-based Mac

    I'm trying to find info on using Windows on my iMac. It's an Intel Core 2 Duo, which I think means it can run Windows. I know absolutely nothing about this and can't find info anywhere. I presume I need to buy Windows software. What kind? Do I need to buy any other software? Anything else? Not that I WANT to use Windows, but I may have to add it to be able to continue serving one of my clients.

    Is it something I can buy or download?
    Purchase Mac OS X 10.5 if you want Boot Camp.
    Or is it better to get one of the other two you mentioned?
    Using an emulator causes Windows to run slower, but is more convenient to use compared to Boot Camp, as an emulator doesn't require restarting to change OSes.

    Not using Boot Camp, but you should be able to using virtualization software such as Parallels to run Windows concurrently with OS X.

  • Is there any workaround for Bug 6644652 ?

    Hi
    This issue is documented in DBAppTables GTC Connector at Known issues:
    "Bug 6644652
    Reconciliation of account deletion is not supported. In other words, if a record is
    deleted from the target database, then this deletion is not reconciled into Oracle
    Identity Manager"
    Is there any workaround that can be used ?
    Thank You in advanced,
    Ionut

    EHLO!
    Today I ALMOST finalized my delete-recon (is for AD objects, but I think it may work in many contexts). As the pals said, you have to use the createDeleteReconciliationEvent method from the operations API.
    I had a big problem: I spent a day looking for a NullPointerException that was raised just when this method is called. I realized that there is not a problem itself, the exception was raised because I was launching from the Eclipse project! So, instead of develop all the stuff and then pass it to OIM, I had to maje the jar, put it into the ScheduleTask folder, and execute it with the Task Scheduler from the Design Console, or from the Admin Console.
    For a brief:
    1) make a class that extends com.thortech.xl.scheduler.tasks.SchedulerBaseTask
    2) implement the execute() method
    3) for creating the operator, you can call (tcReconciliationOperationsIntf)getUtility("Thor.API.Operations.tcReconciliationOperationsIntf") (getUility is inherited from SchedulerBaseTask)
    4) Make some Map object, with key/value pairs. Keys have to be the same as they appear in the Reconciliation Fields of the Resource Object, and at least you have to put the required ones. Call the method, the first parameter is a String with the RO ("Xellerate User", "AD User", "Exchange", etc).
    For example, you can make something like this:
                   HashMap hm = new HashMap();
                   hm.put("User ID", "drldap");
                   hm.put("objectGUID", "12345679");
                   try {
                        reconOps.createDeleteReconciliationEvent("AD User", hm);
                   catch(Exception e) {
                        e.printStackTrace(System.out);
    Hope it was helpful. Enjoy!
    DrLDAP!

  • Is there any method to remember the running subtitle and audio stream when navigating through menus?

    I have a language Menu named 'Setup' with 4 buttons 1.English  2.Spanish  3.Spanglish  4.Subtitle Off.
    To reach this page you have to hit Setup button on Main Menu. The setup button takes to a sub-menu of Setup where I have a symbol of 'tick' at Subtitle Off indicating the state of the current subtitle stream. I have 3 more sub-menus with similar buttons but with 'tick' at different languages indicating the state of the current running/selected language, 2nd page has English with tick, 3rd page has Spanish with tick and 4th has Spanglish with tick. My client wants me to jump on the respective language ticked page when you hit the setup button on Main Menu. As far as I understand we cannot assign a code in Encore to a single button to read what subtitle stream is running.
    Is there any method to remember the running stream when navigating through menus?
    I have done this in Sonic Scenarist.
    Regards,
    A Gandhi

    I think this was added in a "newer" version of Encore (meaning anywhere from CS4 up). In any event, it is available in Encore CS6.
    There is a menu (not button) property that allows yoi9u to make the active subtitle track button the default (i.e. selected/highlight shows) just as you want.

  • Is there any workaround for exporting 24 bit AAF of OMF in soundtrack?

    Hi
    Soundtrack pro seems to have only 16bit AAF export function. Is there any workaround to be able to export a multitrack session in higher bit (24bit industry standard) resolution, in AAF or OMF format?
    I know Final Cut has 24bit AAF export funcion, but sending clips from soundtrack to Final Cut seems not possible. Only sending mastermixes to FC is possible. But I want to send individual clips to FC.
    Or any other suggestions are welcome for solving this problem.
    Thanks!

    If Premiere offers you the option to use hardware encoding, then your card is recognized. There is normally nothing more to do.  If I understand you correctly, you are concerned that Premiere is not using the card.  There are 2 ways to check if it is:
    1. Install someting like GPU-Z (google it, it's free) to monitor the GPU. Start to encode something that will actually use CUDA cores, and you should see some activity reported, given as a percentage.  Keep in mind that CUDA is only used for some specific tasks (some effects, resizing) when encoding.
    2. Export a file that will use CUDA when encoding 2 times, once with hardware encoding enabled, and then with software only. Is there a difference in the time needed to complete the export?

  • Is there any workaround to auto-select the shipping options upon entering the zip/postcode?

    Is there any workaround to auto-select the shipping options upon entering the zip/postcode? Because currently, the user still needs to select the shipping option again (radio button type).

    Yeah, but its custom coding in conjunction with a 3rd party for the postcode lookup. You also then need to handle the annoying dom manipulation BC does with its code on things like discount code fields, shipping option changes etc effecting your code. You really need to have a good understanding of coding AND BC in this case unfortunatly.
    Possible though, but if you do not want to pay for it to be done or not able to do it yourself - Best to avoid this if you can on the project.

    Ask your email admin for an alias to your same mailbox without the apostrophe. Don't use it for anything other than your apple id.
