MacBook will not run PowerPC apps anymore

Recently, I have noticed that none of my PowerPC applications want to start up. I started noticing this after I tried downloading the latest quicktime updater. The updater downloaded, but could not install. Before the updater was installed, I had Quicktime using Flip4Mac by turning on Rosetta for installer, installing Flip4Mac, turning off Rosetta for installer, and then turning on Rosetta for QT. Everything went smooth, WMVs played great, but then QT wouldn't start after I downloaded the QT updater. I had to turn off Rosetta for QT, and since then no PPC apps will work, and QT will not play WMVs. How do I get PPC apps to work again?? Thank you, I appreciate any help!

Thanks for the replies. When I mean PPC apps don't work, I mean, nothing, Google Earth, Limewire, Word, Powerpoint, etc. Only Intel based apps work. Sorry I wasn't so thorough about explaining my problem, it was late and I was frustrated. I also forgot to mention that I have Boot Camp running with XP. This might be a separate issue, but I tried switching to it two nights ago, and XP would not start up. Anyway, I tried Disk Utility, and it did not fix it, but I did not restart either, So, I'll try that. Again thanks for the help and the quick replies!

Unlocked Iphone will not run any apps anymore

Yesterday Apple unlocked my Iphone.
Since this time no app will run any more.
Please Help
I already tried a reset/restore via iTunes
I tried deleting a app from both iTunes and Iphone and the downloading it again.

Ah, missed that you are on a mac.
Try this:
Launch disk utility, select your hard drive and select "repair permissions". When finished, reboot your computer, launch isync, select reset sync history. Launch itunes, connect your phone, sync. When finished, disconnect your phone & see it this fixes the problem.

My macbook will not download any apps from the app store. I don't know how to fix it, help?

My macbook will not download any apps from the app store. im running on mac os x 10.6.8. I don't know how to fix it, help?

Install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
That will re download and install the App Store for you which may help.
It's ok to install the combo even though you are already running v10.6.8
Restart your Mac after combo is installed, try downloading apps.
Note... if you have Little Snitch installed that will prevent downloads. If you have anti virus software installed, disable that and turn off the Firewall in System Prefereces > Security.

MacBook will not run without being plugged in.

First off, I've updated everything I can find! I've reset the SMC and read through and did anything that looked like it might help. Here's the problem... I can't turn on my MacBook without the power adapter being plugged in, if it is running and I unplug it turns off. When I press the button on the battery to see if it is fully charged it is missing one dot, yet the plug light is green and not amber. On my screen it shows battery power is at 87% and it has the little plug icon in the battery, so it's not charging my battery. I am scared that when the battery drains my laptop wont work since it is slowly draining (was at 100% when the problem started a few days ago). This really is a big inconvience because I am chained to the power adapter and since it is magnetic I accidentally unplug it when I am not at a desk or table. So if anyone has any ideas please let me know! Help!

Haha i know i was just kidding about the apple joke, its only because i am one of the first purchasers of the iPhone and they only gave us $100 back instead of $200, but o well... this problem is getting even weirder, now my battery isn't recognized in mac os x, and i've tried all the trouble shooting methods. i'm taking this in saturday to the apple store. i'm starting to believe that its a battery issue, which is why i was only able to work off power since the new firmware. luckily its still in warranty and they'll issue me a new battery. who knows, maybe the firmware short circuited my battery?

I have cs2. Was running on OSX Snow Leopard. Upgraded OSX to Lion. Now CS2 will not run (PowerPC)

I would like to upgrade to Photoshop CC. Do I get a discount for owning cs2? How do I claim the discount?

I am sorry Josephbonds but there is no upgrade offer for Creative Suite 2. You can find the currently available offers at https://creative.adobe.com/plans?s_tnt=62135:1:0.

Battery shows as having charge in System Profiler yet will not run from bat

My MacBook is about a year and half old. My battery just started doing this a few days ago. It shows as not charging. Checking the battery shows that it has 85% power left (this was 86% the day it started). The magsafe connector stays green. The MacBook will not run without the power connected.
I am not sure if this is an issue with the battery, the batteries connector, or with my MacBook. I'm pretty tight fro cash right now and need my MacBook working. I don't have money to throw at parts I don't need. If anyone has experienced this issue before and has any insight please let me know. I'm a starving web programmer and I need to be able to bring my MacBook with me to meet with clients.
Thanks,
Steven

Do you think it is software. It will not even boot when the power is not connected. I was thinking it was a problems with ACPI in the EFI BIOS. The strange thing is just a moment ago the magsafe went orange and the power states calculating. This is the first time I've seen the magsafe orange since this started four days ago. I came back to this thread to update it with this little tidbit and saw your reply.

I deactivated Photoshop CC on my Mac Mini and downloaded PS CC on my MacBook 1.1. I didn't realize the program will not run on MB 1.1. I uninstalled the app on the MacBook. I tried to reactivate on my Mac Mini and it tells me I already have the program loaded on two computers. How do I solve the problem?

The activation server shows that it is now activated on two computer, it has been deactivated once .
When you install it on the third computer or for the third time & when you to activate it, if it installed & activated already twice, there will be an option of deactivating it from the previous computers, please click on that.(To deactivate from preinstalled machine, Open any Adobe CC application > Help Menu > Signout.)
Next it will allow you to activate on your new machine,
Now you can go back to your first computer, log out & log back in of Desktopp CC App, launch any product, if there is any product to buy, in that prompt there will be an option to " license the software", please click on that & sign in.
It will reactivate the CC on the first machine.
You have already deactivated it from one machine, hence you can activate it on third computer.

I can't install my old logic 8 on my new macbook pro. It says it does not support powerpc applications anymore. what do i need to do?? this is ridiculous!!!

I can't install my old logic 8 on my new macbook pro. It says it does not support powerpc applications anymore. what do i need to do?? this is ridiculous!!!

Logic 8 will probably run on your new machine but the installation program contains some older PPC code for pre Intel Macs. This was not a problem as all OSX versions contained the "Rosetta" PPC emulation, that is, up until Lion when all PPC emulation was dropped.
There are ways to do this however, try searching Google for: Installing Logic 8 under Lion or Mountain Lion.

I was going to upgrade from 10.6.8 to mavericks 10.9.2, but the installer program notified me stating my appleworks 6 app will not run on the new set up. is there a procedure to keep or switch my documents in order to obtain the mavericks upgrade?

I can't say personally since I never used AW, but see if these articles help:

http://www.cultofmac.com/248546/convert-system-os-9-appleworks-6-files-to-os-x-p ages-files-os-x-tips/
I suggest that you clone your current drive with 10.6.8 to an external drive. If you have any issues after upgrading to Mavericks, you can boot back into 10.6.8.
Both of these applications can be used to create a clone. If you need help creating your clone, let us know.

Macbook will not boot up after running Software Update

My MacBook will not boot up after running Software Update (Security update + Java?) earlier today. I have only the gray start up screen + Apple logo + gear wheel constantly rotating. I have tried restarts several times and tried to start up from my original system DVD - this makes no difference.
I called Apple support, tried resetting the power and PRAM - still no difference. He had no knowledge of other problems reported; although I note recent post may have same issue.
I cannot get an appointment at my Apple Store before Monday.
Any suggestions?

Still no success. When I hold down the option key when powering up I get the hard disk icon plus arrowhead (only). When clicking the arrowhead it goes to the gray screen + apple logo+ rotating gearwheel.
This happens both with DVD in slot and without DVD. the DVD image is not coming up on screen. When I start up without DVD the hard disk icon appears promptly. When I start with DVD in the DVD is spinning for a short period before the hard disk icon appears. On clicking the arrowhead to hard disk icon the DVD spins again for a while then stops. Apart from the DVD spinning, both situations result in gray screen + apple logo+ rotating gearwheel.

My first generation AppleTV will not sync with iTunes anymore. I get an error message that says: "The Apple TV is not responding Check that any firewall software running on this comptuter has been set to allow communication on port 3689" firewall is off

My first generation AppleTV will not sync with iTunes anymore. I get an error message that says: "The Apple TV is not responding Check that any firewall software running on this comptuter has been set to allow communication on port 3689" firewall is turned off.. Any ideas?

Thanks Rudegar,
I only synch and do not stream off of my 1st Gen AppleTV
I will try with ethernet but will be a pain in the butt if i can not fix it with wifi for long term fix
I may end up trying to do a named IP address vs DHCP for this appleTV (not sure if i can do both and do not want to remove DHCP as i have a bunch of sensors and other devices that I prefer to dynamically add to the network via DHCP vs. assign each one
Will keep working on other fix options (factory reset, etc.)
Thanks again

Try running Safari in 32 bit mode. In get info box for Safari,
check open in 32 bit mode. There have been some oddities
on some systems that can cause some issues.
I had thought MS had fixed this, but may not have.

I recently upgraded to Mavericks from Snow Leopard. Does Snow Leopard still exist on my Mac? If so, is it possible to restart under Snow Leopard in order to run PowerPC apps? If not, is there an OS available in 64 bit that supports PowerPC apps? Mav ***.

The only reason I upgraded to Mavericks was because my Snow Leopard OS was 32 bit, which I was told would support only 4GB of RAM.
That wasn't quite right. You can put in as much RAM as your Mac's hardware supports. The division is in the apps themselves. A 32 bit app can't use more than 4 GB or RAM. A 64 bit app can use much more.
For example, as a 32 bit only version, Photoshop CS3 can't use more 4GB of RAM, no matter how much you actually have installed. CS4 or later can use all the RAM you want to throw at it.

My apps will not run
