Is there anyway to use PowerPC applications on new Macs?

I just got a new Macbook from my college, and I run an emulator for Visual Boy Advance.  It no longer works due to dropped support for PowerPC.  I have read Mac no longer offers support for this via Rosetta anymore.  However, is there still anyway to run applications like this?

Kappy has the best solution (as usual). Partition the hard drive and install a previous version of OSX. Snow Leopard would be the best version to install, but if you already have Leopard or even Tiger it will do the job although, the new iOS devices are not supported in Tiger.
If you want to use Snow Leopard as your main OS, just remove all your data from the Lion partition to an external hard drive so that there is only the OS on there (6GB or so) and create a large partition for Snow Leopard. Unfortunately, you cannot remove Lion altogether.

  • Is there anyway to disable "per application" volume control ?

    Is there anyway to disable "per application" volume control !? 
    Keep it simple. You can leave per device  existing, but per application is a big mess.
    I need to spend a lot of time to found why am listening a sound if I decrease all my device volume. 
    I really hate it. It is not usefull for me, it just worsens my experience with Windows OS. 
    I always used Widnows, it was much better when this feature simply did not exist.

    Hi,
    It is by design,  I’m afraid that there’s no way to change it.
    You can right click the sound icon in the right-bottom corner, open volume mixer or volume control options to change the settings you want.

  • Is there anyway to share an application on an Adobe Muse web page? More specifically an applet exported from the Processing interface?

    Is there anyway to share an application on an Adobe Muse web page? More specifically an applet exported from the Processing interface?

    Hi,
    You can add your app to the Muse page using the Insert HTML feature in Muse. However, it depends on your hosting server whether or not the app will work. For example, if your app is in php and your server is configured for php, the app should work.

  • Is there anyway to use your best buy credit card online before receiving it?

    I know if you haven't received the card yet in the mail you can still use it in store by giving an employee your information. But is there anyway to use it online to make a purchase?

    Good morning Seniorfarts, 
    It's great to hear that you are either considering or have already applied and been approved for a My Best Buy credit card! It is my understanding that you would have one opportunity immediately after being approved for the credit card online to use it. Outside of this browser session, I believe you would need to wait for the arrival of the physical card. Sadly, this means if you apply and are approved in store, you would not be able to use the card online until you receive it. 
    I hope this helps! Please let us know if you should have any other questions. 
    Sincerely,

  • Is there anyway to use the kerning in a selected sentence?

    Is there anyway to use the kerning in a selected sentence instead of selecting each space between the characters?

    ok that is understandable and fully reasonable. but tech is tech. when one is made to do everything it can also be limited through the code.
    Would anyone be able to make or program something to override the code and just use it to send/receive through the hardware. like said the bluetooth tether feature was not doable but mywi was able to through jailbreaking.
    what i am asking is, would be it possible?
    ( edit: didn't read the part of the profiles. )
    profiles are not editable? ... or even replaceable?
    or is it really just too much work ?

  • Is there anyway to restore an iphone to new from a different computer and then use a backup from the cloud?

    Is there anyway to restore an iphone to new from a different computer and then use a backup from the cloud? At&t said that they unlocked the phone but that it needs to be reset in itunes and retored for it to work. However, I do not have access to my computer as I am overseas and need to put a new sim card in. Anyone had this problem and know a way to go around this?

    If you have an backup on iCloud. You can restore via iTunes (on every computer) or via your iPhone itself.
    And yes, you can restore the backup via iCloud.
    To set iPhone to new do this: Settings > General > Reset > Erase all data and Reset all Settings.
    It take a while. But after this, you can restore backup via iCloud.

    I have firefox set up on my old laptop exactly how I want, is there anyway of trasferring it to my new laptop?

    You can do this manually by copying the relevant files and folders, for details see [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_backup profile backup - MozillaZine Knowledge Base] or [[backing up your information]].
    A couple of other options are the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2109/ FEBE] add-on which can be used to copy the profile (location where user data is stored), or the free [http://mozbackup.jasnapaka.com/ MozBackup] utility.

  • The cord on my MacBook charger broke. Is there anyway apple would give me a new one or do I have to buy one?

    The cord on my MacBook charger broke. Is there anyway apple would give me a new one or do I have to buy one?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    If you didn't cause the problem and the charger is in warranty, take it to any Apple Store or reseller and you will get a new charger for free.
    If you caused that the MacBook charger broke, you have to buy a MagSafe charger at an Apple Retail Store or the Apple Online Store > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC461LL/A/apple-60w-magsafe-power-adapter-for- macbook-and-13-inch-macbook-pro?fnode=5a

  • I need to synch my iphone, ipod touch and classic to a Mac that I have and 2 I am about to buy. I have legally paid for all my music. If I use migration on my new Macs and clone the original, can I use my iAppliances on all 3 Macs?

    I need to synch my iphone, ipod touch and classic to a Mac that I have and 2 I am about to buy. I have legally paid for all my music. If I use migration on my new Macs and clone the original, can I use my iAppliances on all 3 Macs?

    Yes.
    You can authorize up to 5 computers to play itunes music ( pre-itunes plus).  There is no limit on itunes plus ( all itunes music for the past several years) and imported music.
    You can sync as many ipods/ipads/iphones as you like to each of your computers.

  • Have a student / teacher subscription. Trying to download and install applications on new mac pro with yosemite

    Have a student / teacher subscription. Trying to download and install applications on new mac pro with yosemite. Old applications still work on older Mac Pro. Can't download any applications. Creative Cloud website and desktop app both fail. Very frustrating. Anyone having this problem?

    Chas50 I would recommend removing the currently installed Adobe Creative software.  You can then install the new versions of the Adobe Creative software included with your membership.  You can find complete details regarding the uninstall and install process at Install and update apps - https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html.

  • How can I open a disk using PowerPC application?

    I have a program on a disc.  With my new mac it is giving me an error message 'PowerPC application' no longer supported.
    I have to have this program loaded and completed for school  Can someone advise?

    i have a similar situation. i have 2 cd rom's that i need for school and used quite often on my old MBP. since my new MBP came with lion, is there any way to put snow leopard on it instead? i have the disk from when i upgraded my previous MBP to SL. i need this to work beacause im doing an equine rotation and this program is very helpful with anatomy and clinical considerations. it would be worth going back to SL for a few more months to make it work.
    thanks!!

  • Is there anyway to use Facetime on Windows 7?

    Live very far from home, my whole famly have Iphones (myself included) we use facetime a lot but i have a Alienware PC with windows 7, and would like to know if there is anyway to use facetime from the laptop? i hate skype.

    Compatibility isn't really the issue. Apple supposedly left Facetime "open" such that someone could build it into an application compatible with other OS's. It's just that no one has. I wish Apple would. Skype is great, but Facetime is so easy to use on the iPad, its a shame they don't port it. I'm sure it has to do with trying to get users to buy Mac computers if they want Facetime on their computer. That's cool, I'll stick with Skype since it's ported to both.
