Old apps won't work with Leopard

OK, thinking this would work out alright, I bought and installed Leopard on my eMac. I knew that my machine just met the requirements to run it, but I figured I could live with a sluggish machine for a while. I upgraded the OS from 10.2.9 which ran everything fine of course. Now after installing Leopard, a number of my programs (Photoshop 7, Appleworks 6 to name a few) will not open without crashing. And I've also had problems with the Mail 3 program. It opens, I can get mail, but I can't send mail. The send button doesn't even rollover so I can try to send. It just won't let me send.
At this point I'd be happy to just reinstall 10.2, but I can't figure out how to do that either...the 10.2 disk won't start up the installation process, it just says it needs to restart the computer and then brings me back to my regular login screen. What in the world can I do to fix this?

How did you install 10.5, via Upgrade Install or another method?
If you have a good backup, your best bet may an erase & clean install of Leo. You are dragging along a lot of old baggage.
You also should be able to use Setup Assistant (which IMO works better before an admin user is created) or migrate by hand and install the apps you need to re-install.
PS 7 will not run on 10.5
If you really feel you need to re-install 10.4, you should erase and reformat your drive before installing 10.4.x

Need an App. uninstaller that works with Leopard.

I need to clear space on my MBP hard drive and upgrading it's internal drive is way too expensive, if you want to preserve your warranty. (Apple Stores won't do it!) I have an external drive, but I'm trying to use it as little as possible cause its a pain to carry around and set up, plugs and wires etc. So I need to find a good, Leopard compatible, application uninstaller. There are too many to choose from: Clean Sweep, CleanApp, AppZapper, Forklift etc.
What has anybody tried, and what are you happy with, and what seems to find all those pesky hidden files?
I know Leopard is an issue because most of the above apps make mention on their sites of issues they are having when working with Leopard.
Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, John

Old apps won't work on os10.4 with mac mini duo intel

I was under the impression my new mac came with ms office NOT a trial version - that's Lame.
I have several apps on 9.2 imac. I the Apple store transferred them to New mac mini. Most important msoffice 98. it was a useless transfer. Can't find upgrades. Can't install system 9 on an intel Mac. Do I buy new software all over again. Find another spot in my house to plug in my dinosaur mac or bag the thing and get a Dell.

Well, I could understand your frustration a bit until I came to....
I can't even send attachents on my verizon e-mail with
this system.
Which strikes me as rather odd, given that I've been using a Mac (several in fact) to work with my Verizon email for about 3 years and have had no issues at all with sending attachments, using Mail and POPping my email, or the Verizon webmail alternative access.
And then it made me wonder.... the fact you seem to think Apple should have given you a copy of MS Office for free suggests you didn't think to actually READ the product description - which means your rant against the system you purchased and the company who built it is really not worth much. And given that a FREE, compatible, Office work-alike software suite is available to you for the price of a few minutes download time, so you have no need for your old copy of Office or OS9.2 and it's apparent that you have all the solution you need if you want it. Free. Is that not cheap enough?

Mail app won't work with my university proxy

Dear all,
I have a problem with the mail application on Lion. I'm behind a proxy server in my university and all other applications such as Safari, Chrome and Skype works well with this proxy when I have configured it in system settings.
Mail application, however, never works. It looks like exactly when I'm completely offline and have no internet access. This is not something new on Lion and I had the exact same problem when I was on Snow Leopard. I wonder others have a workaround for this.
Some more information: Proxy server works on port 50 with authentication.
All the best,
Arman

some updates on this issue, Mail application uses the same proxy that has been set on your system (system preferences==>Network==>Advanced==>proxies). People usually use HTTP/HTTPS proxy for surfing the web. You should make sure to set SOCKS proxy as well. Mail application works with SOCKS proxy. Note that port number for SOCKS proxy is usually different from the port number for HTTP and HTTPS but the IP address of your server (apparently) is the same.
Hope this helps

What apps won't work with maverick?

i am about to update to Maverick, aere there any apps that won't function with Maverick?

It is far from a complete list but http://roaringapps.com/apps:table is a good starting point. It should not be considered 100% accurate.
Uninstall any and all "anti-virus" or "cleaning" apps that should not be installed on any Mac, and back up your system as a precaution against the unexpected. Merely having a backup seems to preclude the need to ever require one.

DVD Player app won't work with Snow Leopard

I installed Snow Leopard recently. I tried to watch a DVD with DVD player. It wouldn't work. I got this message in a box: "You can't use this version of the application DVD Player with this version of Mac OS X. You have DVD Player 5.0.3."
I looked for a recent DVD player update/download and could not find one. Same with Snow Leopard updates...
Does anybody know the fix or the workaround?
Thanks,
Estel Dillon

HI,
Download and install the 10.6.2 combo update available here.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL959
Then repair disk permissions.
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
In the future, when updating system software, click the Apple Menu  /Software Updates. If that doesnt't work then go here: http://support.apple.com/downloads/ and use the standalone installers.
*The DVD Player application is not available to reintall from the SL disc*. If after the suggestions above haven't helped, then back up your important data before you do anything, then reinstall Snow Leopard.
You can reinstall the following apps from your SL disc.
Address Book
iCal
iChat
iTunes
Mail
Oxford Dictionaries
Safari
and X11

PowerPC apps won't work with Lion

I have an application that is no longer working as the message says Lion no longer supports ower PC apps?
Is there any work around for this?

pengtao wrote:
Find an update for the application, or find a newer application doing similar work.
The app that is giving the most people fits is Quicken. Other than running Quicken for Windows in a virtual program (like Parallels) (which I already do), there are no really good alteratives to Quicken (not that Quicken for Mac was ever any good to begin with).

Apps won't work with new software

I just updated my Ipad 2 software to new IOS 7.0.4 now none of my apps work like Netflix and some game apps. What can I do? Is there a way to go back to the old software?

It's not possible to revert to a prior iOS.
Delete the Netflix app then re download from the App Store.
Same for the game apps.

Is it me or old apps don't work with IOS 5.0 ?

I everyone
In an attempt to install IOS 5 , iI realized tha none of the apps could start, only native apps like itunes and mail could work.
I had to return to IOS 4.3 to use apps I open everyday.
Do we need to wait for developpers to update their apps to current IOS 5.0?
Thanks
D

@ Meg
Thanks for the Tip I'll try that out. I just hope that my most used app will work on IOS 5 , although I didn't see the latest update on Itune .
@Allan
For stability reason, I didn't hack or jailbreak the the phone. I managed to go back to the previous IOS setting the phone in "safemode" and installed IOS 4, that was it.
I'll post back once installed
Thanks

Canon MP470 purchased from Apple 2 months ago won't work with Leopard

I purchased the latest and greatest iMac 2 months ago for my wife. I also purchased a printer as part of an Apple Store promotion. This past weekend I upgraded to OS 10.5.1 and now the printer will not work. There is no driver for that model included in 10.5.1 and Canon referes you back to Apple. Apple refers you back to the Manufacturer.
My wife wants to go back to OS 10.4 (like the commercial where Vista users upgrade to an older more reliable experience). I now have a totally useless Canon multi-funtion printer and a really cool OS without the ability to print.
Can anyone help?

Canon posted new drivers for some of their printers - including the MP470 - at the start of November. These specifically say they support 10.5 (though I had no problem using older drivers for my MX310 in 10.5.0).
Get them from:
http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&tabact=DownloadDet ailTabAct&fcategoryid=334&modelid=15403
or:
http://www.canon.com.au/products/allin_one_printers/all_in_one_printers/mp470support.aspx
I only upgraded to 10.5.1 (from 10.5.0) last night so haven't tested printing again. I hope this helps.

Updating FREE version of iPhoto to work with Leopard?

Recently upgraded our iBook G4 to Leopard. Now, the System says iPhoto 2.04 (free version) won't work with Leopard. None of the iPhoto upgrades avalable (4, 5, 6) work as upgrades. In the iPhoto discussion, others said the only option is to PAY for iLife '08.
Is that true? I have iPhoto v5.04 on my PB G4, and it works under Leopard. I never purchased iLife.
Suggestions, please

I don't know for sure about iPhoto 2's (in)compatibility with Leopard, but if that part is true, then you will have to pay for the upgrade.
iPhoto 2 is over five years old. Besides the fact that the current version is WAY more advanced, I have to say that any software that only makes you pay for an upgrade one time in a period of almost six years is a tremendous bargain.

I just got an iPhone 5S, now when I try to use my old iPad the apps won't work because they are syncing with my new phone. Can I have the same account for an old iPad and a new iPhone?

Connect your iPad to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and “ Check for Updates “...
If an Update Appears Install it... if not... you are up to date for your particular Device...

I have just brought a new ipod and it won't work with my old imac as it is running pre 10.5 software. I can't upgrade the software, so what should I do?

There is nothing to do, unless you buy a new computer.
Mac OS 10.5.8 or later is required.

Calculator won't work with Snow Leopard

I recently upgraded to snow leopard (mac pro). Now when I try to use my calculator it says the version I have won't work with this version. I have looked for updates but it says I current. Do you know why?

I went into my application file and the updated calculator was in there. Once I moved it onto my dock the caculator works. I assumed it would update automatically when I upgraded my software; now I know. Thanks.
