My non intel Mac runs OS10.5.6 but won't run Firefox 4.0, will I be able to run it at a later date or is my G5 ready for the graveyard?

Latest update says it won't run on my Mac (see question above) and current latest compatible version (3.6.17) will have full tech support for only a limited time now. Is there anything I can do to bring my Mac up to spec. Is it really a dinosaur already? Will I be able to run FF4.0 (or later) at a later dater date?
Any answers appreciated, thanks... B

Ah you have PPC version. Either you can keep using Firefox 3.6.* are try a third party version of Firefox 4.0.* at http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
The Firefox 4.0 and newer downloads contains the 32-bit and 64-bit version for Intel at moment.

  • Why will Firefox 4.0 not run on my PPC (non Intel) Mac (running Tiger OS)?

    I just downloaded the new 4.0 Firefox, and when I attempt to launch the program, I get the following message: "You cannot open the application "Firefox" because it is not supported on this architecture.

    Firefox 4 requires an Intel Mac. If you are still interested in Firefox 4, you can try http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/ but that is not created or supported by Mozilla. If you want to go back to 3.6, you can download it here http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.6.16/mac/en-US/

  • Sony HDR-SR11 /AVCHD/NON-INTEL MAC/HELP

    I have called both sony and apple tech support and both offered little help today.
    I have a Sony HDR-SR11 that I shot some HD content with. The computer registers that the camera is there as an external HDD. Sony's FAQ suggested that I save the AVCHD file to my HDD and it should work....NOPE
    I hooked it up to a PC and installed the software it comes with and I was able to view my files but not export them into a normal format.
    I have 2 sets of files one set is .m2t and the other is .mts both say they are Unix Executable files..***!
    I have a Power MAc G5 running Leopard and Final Cut Pro 6 I ran the software update and it says that as of today 100% up to date yet it says that FCP should be 6.0.2 mine says 6.0
    Apple support said that it may not even work on a non-intel Mac.....HELP
    anyone get this to work, supposedly Imovie work s with it but the files are grayed out in the menus for imovie so I dunno all I know is I need this footage off the camera ASAP.
    Thanks

    I came here actually looking for a different solution and not the one I'm about to say... but I will tell you that the new iMovie will import the video straight off the camera (in either 960x540 or 1920x1080). It's not ideal, but it works.
    In fact, I'm doing so right now, but I came here hoping there might be news of a new fix so that FCP will import it directly (it will not, log & capture will not do it, just so others are clear on this).
    That said, the video off the camera looks very nice. I'm still happy with the camera, even if I do have to do one hoop jump before I can edit.

  • Which version lightroom for non-intel mac 10.5.8

    Which Version of Lightroom works best with a (non-Intel) Mac 10.5.8?  Thank You.

    There is none that Adobe will sell you.  They only supply the most recent version:  LR 5, which requires 10.7.5, I think.  Sometimes you can get the previous version, i.e. LR 4, on Amazon but sometimes those are just scams, too, so you want to make sure you’re buying from Amazon, themselves, not an Amazon-Marketplace vendor.
    To your specific question about what version is compatible with 10.5.8, if you go to the Adobe page for LR Mac updates:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=113 <http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=113&platform=Macintosh> &platform=Macintosh
    and click down into the past versions, it appears that LR 3.6 from 12/12/2011, will run on OSX 10.5 but LR 4.x will not, so I don’t think you’ll have much luck with such an old OS.

  • Can I Multi-Process with an Older, Non-Intel Mac?

    ...when I am on a new Intel Mac with AE CS4?

    I don't understand the question. Can you use computer A while you're using computer B? Are you talking about network rendering? If so, then consider that both computers must be able to run After Effects and open the project that you're working with. Because After Effects CS4 only runs on processors with the Intel architecture (not PowerPC chips), the "non-Intel" Mac is a non-starter.

  • Can I use a Power PC non intel Mac Mini as an external HD with my iMac 3.06

    Can I use a Power PC non intel Mac Mini as an external HD with my iMac 3.06 Intel Core Duo
    I can't figure out how to get this to work. Is it possible?

    Will it work if I connect via usb instead of firewire?
    No. There is no "USB Target Disk Mode".
    Just so we're clear, when you start your Mac mini in FireWire Target Disk Mode (TDM - holding T on startup), do you see a FireWire icon on the Mac mini's display? IIRC, it's not required that the Mac mini be connected to a display for TDM, but it would help diagnose whether or not the mini is actually starting in this mode.

  • Using MacBook backup with non-Intel Mac laptop

    I'm scheduled for a computer replacement at work (not a new one, but a hand-me-down from someone else). I was originally told it would have to be a Windows PC (grrr), but then it turned out that someone who recently left for another job had a Mac laptop that I can have instead. I'm not sure exactly what model it is, but it's my understanding that it's only a year or two old. I assume it will be an iBook or a PowerBook.
    I'm wondering if I can use my MacBook backup (which is on an external harddrive and is bootable) to boot up a non-Intel Mac laptop. Since I have to send my MacBook back in for repair (second round of RSD), I was hoping that once I get this older laptop I could just boot from my external and keep on working as if I still had my MacBook (without the ability to use Windows of course). I assume all the programs (except Parallels) would be compatible, but would the system files work?

    I don't think it will allowed you to boot from that external that installed with os X 10.4.x (compiled for macintel version).
    But surely you can use the data in it if you have proper or similar program at the older portable mac.
    But if you willing to try it, it won't hurt, just connect that external and restart while pressing the option key, and if it shows as an option for start up, click on it and see how it goes. If nothing happen, simply shutdown the laptop and restart regularly using its own hd.
    Good Luck.

  • Need URL for non-intel Mac OS X Firefox

    Firefox 7 for Intel Mac overwrote a version of Firefox that worked on my non-Intel Mac. No Firefox right now. Can't find usable version of Firefox on Mozilla website.

    Found the answer. The correct URL is http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html . The working version is 3.6+
    Mac owners take notice---There is no link to the above URL on the Firefox website.
    The advice to upgrade to version 4 is bogus.

  • VOIP hardware for non-Intel Macs

    A question: is there any add-on hardware available to make a non-Intel desktop Mac ready to use for VOIP? Like a VOIP PCI express card? Currently, Intel Macs can use the Magic Jack or Skype; non-Intel Macs (such as my G5) can only use Skype or its equivalent. Which can be a discouraging pain in the butt if I want to also use the G5's sound system for the more conventional purposes, e.g., iTunes, iPod, alert sounds, mail sounds, importing audio, assembling soundtracks, etc. If a Skype call comes in when I'm listening to iTunes, for example, I have to plug in the Skype headset, open my System Preferences, change the settings, shut off iTunes, and only then can I answer the "phone". Are there any changes to the hardware coming to make this all(including the Magic Jack) unnecessary in the future?

    I was mistaken. There are settings within Skype to settle the problem I was having.

  • Will Install Disks for a MacBook (10.4.6) work on a non-Intel Mac?

    I have got hold of new and unused install disks for a MacBook. Its OSX Tiger 10.4.6. Although all the new Macs are now Intel Duo, will this still be able to be installed on my iBook G4 512Mb?
    Or will it only work on a Mac with an Intel Duo processor?
    iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   512Mb

    The story has now changed somewhat. Copied from your original post in this thread.
    I have got hold of new and unused install disks for a MacBook. Its OSX Tiger 10.4.6. Although all the new Macs are now Intel Duo, will this still be able to be installed on my iBook G4 512Mb?
    Although this 10.4.6 install package for an iBook may work on your iBook, usually the build must be identical also.
    A link I provided in one of my previous posts in this thread.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25517
    This install package may install OK on your iBook but if the build is not identical, it may not work correctly after the fact.
    Since the bods at the Apple Store you visited said this makes no difference - this iBook 10.4.6 install package you acquired will work on ANY non-Intel Mac, what are you worried about? Use it but to be on the safe side, I would first get the bods at this Apple Store to provide you a free exchange for a Tiger retail install install package if your install package doesn't work.

  • Have updated to Firefox 3.6.8 and therefore can't access my zotero 1.0 bibliography. If I downgrade to Firefox 3.5, will I be able to recover the zotero1.0 bibliography?

    I use zotero 1.0. don't want to update to zotero 2.0 because I would thereby lose the bibliograpny I have built up on my current project. I updated to Firefox 3.6 and was informed that zotero 1.0 was incompatible, so have lost my zotero 1.0 biblio anyway. I want a way to recover the biblio. If I downgrade to Firefox 3.5 will I be able to recover zotero1.0 biblio?
    == This happened ==
    Just once or twice
    == I updated to Firefox 3.6

    Just run the 8.0.1 .exe and it should take care of upgrading your Firefox.

  • Linux is not ready for the desktop - Mandriva devs

    I just read this in the latest DistroWatch Weekly:
    You wouldn't expect something like this to happen at any time, let alone on the eve of Mandriva Linux 2007 release. Last week, two Mandriva developers went on record saying that "Linux is not ready for the desktop". In a web log post entitled Why I'll never use Linux for my main desktop, Vincent Danen concluded: "This kind of thing is precisely why, for me, Linux belongs on the server. Now if those kernel-developing idiots would get their act together and give us a 2.6 kernel that was a) stable and b) supported for more than a week, then I'd really be pleased." Another Mandriva developer, Fabrice Facorat, agreed. In a post called Linux ready for Desktop? Of course not!, he had this to say: "For me when you have control over the environment and the hardware, Linux is ready: think servers, workstations, thin clients, kiosks. However when you have no control on the hardware, Linux is not ready because it somewhat lacks flexibility."
    There you have it, right from the horse's mouth! From two guys who have been working for a Linux company, developing a popular desktop Linux distribution, for years! Yes, that's right, Mandriva Linux is not ready for your desktop! Don't waste your money buying it!
    One really has to wonder about the future of a company which happily asks Gaël Duval to leave, yet is quite pleased to keep developers who publicly hint that they consider Linus Torvalds, Alan Cox and other kernel developers "idiots"! A perfect pre-release PR, non?
    No comments... I just cannot find any words.  :shock:   :?

    ughhhh. Mandrake have always sucked at marketing, they do themselves no favours. IMHO, they're becoming more and more irrelevant with each release. Once upon a time I might have reccomended mandrake to a newbie, but certainly not now. They've got great assets and a good base. The *potential* to become a good distro. But each release, stupid bugs make it through, and the improvements seem negligable.
    Once of their better features is their huge repository of packages -- which is horrendously poorly advertised. You'll find nowhere in the GUI's or desktop a place to access their 'contrib' repo which is the equivalent of our extra, and contains a huge amount of packages. Also an important point for mandriva has been mandrakeusers.org/mandrivausers.org, which has been a huge community offering great support for newbies to mandrake, rather than directing them into the expensive mess that is known as the mandriva club. Mandriva have totally ignored this resource, and have made no attempt to support this board, upon which you'll find, I have quite a reasonable post count from back in my early days of Linux (mandriva 8.2 was first distro), and continuing on to now. It also exemplifies their (lack of) decent customer support.
    The distro has had countless irritating bugs which pervaded through releases, and all sorts of utterly stupid ones that should never have made it through the testing process. They do little to help themselves with this. I've reported countless bugs, and all of them have been ignored for months. On their last release, they included the old rt2500 module, which at the time, hard locked SMP machines, and made my mandriva unbootable as it was loaded on boot. I filed a bug, marked it as high priority and it was utterly ignored for more than 6 months, so much so I had forgotten about it. Other bugs and emails have suffered a similar fate.
    It's GUI tools, have become a complete mess, for example wireless, in 2006 release, was absolutely horrendous to configure, and had no support for WPA -- wpa_supplicant wasnt even on the CD's so people could configure it manually.
    It's good to see they're finally ditching their old desktop theme, which they dragged on for far too long. It's always been absolutely hideous.
    Their business model emphasises the 'club' far too much, making it difficult to even find a download on their site for the standard version, which has "Free" tacked all over it, as if to try and make you feel like a cheapskate. Doesnt help how they change their release cycle frequently either.
    The stupidity of Mandriva just confounds me. PR like this does nothing to help them. They criticise the developers for not providing a 2.6 kernel that is stable. Maybe mandriva should look in their own backyard, and offer a distro that's remotely stable. Last time I used it, it had a horrendously old udev, hotplug, and a very slow hardware detection system. It still used bootsplash, which has been unmaintained for over two years, and included supermount, which Con Kolivas has disowned and again, has abandoned for years. They're hardly doing themselves favours patching their kernels with this out of date crap. Nor do they update them, I dont see mandriva offering updates to newer ones, which would no doubt fix many of the reported issues.
    Alternatively they could do what other distros do and pitch in and help. Many of the kernel developers are also employees of other vendors, or have an important part in other distros, such as Daniel Drake and Robert Love. It'd be great for mandrake if they employed a kernel developer, because it's clear THEY are the ones who are the idiots.
    I have no idea how they made it out of their bankrupcy, with the lacklustre state of their miserable distro, I think their days are numbered, unless they do something to change around their image and fix their product.
    ok, im done.
