Opening PPC songs on Intel macs

Hi everyone,
anyone had problems when opening PPC songs on Intel macs? specialy large music scores causes intel logic to crash...
best.
intel imac 20 Mac OS X (10.4.7) 2Gb RAM
Powerbook 17 1.33 G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6) 1Gb RAM

hi andre, look up this topic here. justin c, has written about it, i think.
he recommends "rebuilding your autoload" for starters.
if these songs crash logic, you might have to do a fresh autoload and import all the files and start from scratch. bad, i know.
file corruption seems to be at the bottom of it all.
i have trouble just editing something in 7.2, and then running it in 7.1.1.! and i'm using the same mac for both.

Cannot open logic song on intel mac

I have a problem with a logic song using logic 7.2.3 on a ppc g5 and a macbook pro.
Using the g5 I can open the song but trying the same with the intel macbook pro (also with 7.2.3.) I receive the message that the song is defect, the dialog offers to repair the song but this doesnt succeed.
It tried already to save a new project of the song but the same happens again.
Any advice would be great otherwise I will have to rebuild the whole song. Thanks in advance...

What you can try is get yourself a copy of Logic 6 (if you don't have it, look here : http://download.info.apple.com/AppleSupportArea/emagic/ ) and then open the song in L6 on your G5. Then save it again, from L6, and try to open the resulting file again on the intel mac.
If this fails, you can also try to use Logic 6 on your MBP and see if that works 'directly'.
Good luck !

Logic Pro 8 PPC Songfiles on Intel Macs?

Dear fellow board members,
did anyone experiance problems with a Logic 8 Song file, that was created and saved with Logic 8 on a PPC-Mac, and which has then been opened on Logic 8 on an Intel-Mac? Would I be save to create my Logic 8 Autoload Song (With Plug-Ins, Instruments, Busses, Aux', etc.) on my G5 PPC now, and later import it to a MacPro, when I would switch to an Intel MacPro?
I would be happy if you want to share your ideas or experiances!
Best,
Vic

Going from a PPC to an Intel Mac

Will OS 10.8 Mountain Lion support PPC apps (those I've been running on OS 10.3 up to 10.5.8 Leopard)? I think they will run also on OS 10.6 Snow Leopard, but can't confirm until I have an Intel Mac (needed to run OS 10.6). If OS 10.8 will not support them, will OS 10.7 Lion? I Know that 10.9 Maverick will not.

Thanks, Lyssa for your reply
A good portion of the software you're running probably has an Intel-compatible version at this point.
That's true, except for one really important CAD app I need. My CAD app (Canvas X) was no longer upgraded for Mac starting about 2007. It has been upgraded only for Windows. I think this is about the same time that Mac completed its switch from PPC to Intel, which most likely explains the unwillingness of my CAD company to upgrade. I'm reluctant to attempt running a Windows CAD app on a Mac, using Bootcamp or Parallels.
Much better I think is to get the latest MacBook that will run OS 10.6
Try running Canvas X in Snow Leopard Server installed into Parallels for use in Mavericks.
Here is Adobe CS2 Photoshop (PowerPC) running in SLS in Parallels:

Open Firmware Password for Intel MAcs

I had used this application and password protection for my G4's. Does it work for Intel Macs?
20" iMac Core Duo 2/ 14 iBook [1 ghz] Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Yes,this support article says that Intel does support open firmware password and gives the steps to set.

Power Managment in PPC vs. Intel Mac

I had a question about power management. Previously I have used a Mac Mini PPC for a home server. Everytime my power would flicker, the Mac Mini would bring itself back up.. (I had marked Power up after power failure in System Prefs). But now, since I have had the new Intel mini.. if the power flickers, it may, or may not come back up.. depending if the power flickers quickly. I am guessing this is b/c the BIOS is different in the new Intel Minis... but I would figure Apple would have it behave the same... but it flat out doesn't.
Any suggestions?

Well, I was just presenting a single case. We actually have 100s of these mac minis in the field that we do not have physical access to. A UPS would solve one of the problems, but not all. The solution that Apple previously had in place where the Mini would start up whenever power was applied worked great for us. But in this case we need to get something that would either do that, or allow us/user to turn on the mini without physical access to it (its locked up). Any other suggestions?

PPC software on Intel Macs

I have a copy of Photoshop Elements 2 from 2003. On the CD there are Windows and Mac versions. The Windows version works well on my WIndows machine.
I tried to install the Mac version on my Macbook but it wouldn't work. I thought there was a converter built-into OSX to make it work. How do I do this or would I be better with a new version (Photoshop Elements 6)?

Photoshop Elements 4 is the earliest version that will run on 10.5 - and there are reports of oddities with that. v6 works perfectly well on 10.5.

TUTORIAL: How to make PPC Plug-Ins work on Intel Macs!

Hi guys, I wanted to share this brillant method with you all, collect ideas and create a list of Plug-Ins, you have succeeded to make work (I guess nearly all PPc Plugs will work this way but lets better stick to facts). Maybe there is a way to work with more than 1 Plug - Feel free to report and contribute! Kudos goes to a dear friend of mine... Let' share some power...
"I noticed some people complaining about not being able to use Trilogy and Atmosphere on Intel Macs. There's a tricky way to do it that takes about ten minutes to set up the first time and after that is easy. It probably works for other PPC-only instruments as well.
Here's the outline: OSX for Intel contains a layer called Rosetta, which runs PPC software that hasn't been updated. (You might run Microsoft Word via Rosetta and not even know it.) In general, Rosetta is no good for audio software: you can't use it for a sequencer or a recording application. But it's good enough for a lightweight plugin host like Rax, which does nothing but serve as a host for Atmosphere. So you can load Atmosphere into Rax via Rosetta, then run it alongside a UB sequencer like Live or Logic.
The only tricky part is connecting the two together. You need to get MIDI out of your sequencer and into Rax, and you need to get audio out of Rax and back into the sequencer. The MIDI can go via an internal IAC bus. The audio can go via the handy freeware audio-routing utility Soundflower.
Here's how to set up:
-- download Rax version 1.2.3. (Version 2 and up won't work.) You can find it at http://macmusic.org/software/view.php?id=395 . Use the serial in SerialBox to install.
-- download and install Soundflower from http://www.cycling74.com/downloads/soundflower
-- in Audio MIDI Setup, create a new IAC bus. Instructions on how to do this are at http://www.spectrasonics.net/news/Creating-an-IAC-Bus.html . Name it Rhino. (You can name it whatever you want, but in these instructions I'm going to call it Rhino.)
Now you're ready to go.
-- Open your sequencer and create a MIDI track and an audio track. Set the MIDI track's output to Rhino. Set the audio track's input to Soundflower 2ch.
-- Open Rax and load Atmosphere. In the Preferences, go to the Audio tab and set Audio Device to Soundflower 2ch. Now go to the MIDI tab and, under MIDI Inputs, make sure Rhino is the only thing checked.
You should now be able to send MIDI from your sequencer to Atmosphere, and then hear the audio through the sequencer. One last stage is to sync Atmosphere to your sequencer's MIDI clock, so that tempo-synched effects will work properly.
-- Still in Rax Preferences, on the MIDI tab, set the MIDI Clock dropdown menu to Rhino. Close the Preferences window. At the top of the main Rax window, make sure the Ext. Sync box is checked. The Tempo window should say 0, which means Rax is following the sequencer's master tempo.
And you're done. Save the Rax document and you can open Atmosphere with a single click. Trilogy works the exact same way, obviously.
If you want to use multiple instruments from Rax, you'll need to use SoundFlower 16ch and send MIDI on a different MIDI channel for each instrument (using the same IAC bus).
Anyone who's tried this, please post your results in this thread. Especially, try out other PPC instruments, and try using multiple instruments at the same time, and let us know how it works for you."
Maybe one of the Admins wants to sticky this
With my very best,
Vic.

There's another shortcut I've used successfully in order to access 'old' PlugIns on an Intel MBP :
Just use Logic 6 - and take full advantage o' that ole rotatin' rosetta
Meaning : Other than with native Logic versions 7 and 8, Logic 6 has to be fully emulated by the rosetta engine, and if your intel mac is fast enough, it does so very well - thus including all PPC PlugIns you still may have installed. Also works fine for PlugIns that were converted via FXpansion's VST-AU manager.

Problem with Java app on Mac OS X... works fine in PPC, not on Intel

Hi all,
I'm at a loss... I've always been under the impression that java is the same no matter where it's running, but I've come across something that surely counters that line of thought. At work, we use a java application from DTI to publish our newspaper. This app works just fine on Mac OS X 10.4.x on PPC Macs, but the same application doesn't work on Intel Macs, also 10.4.x.
The app launches and appears to be working fine, but there's a point where it must download some support files from the server. This is where it breaks with the error:
java.io.IOException: null, com.dtint.macutils.AppFile.decode
The corresponding entries in the console log show this:

I've got no clue why this wouldn't work across platforms unless it was compiled for the PPC processor or something, but then wouldn't it either launch in Rosetta or not at all on the Intel? I'm a systems admin, not a programmer, so I've really no idea where to start looking.
What I have done to this point is made sure I'm on the latest Apple-released Java, as well as copied the Java files from the PPC to the Intel to see if there was something there. Nothing makes any difference.
This would be a major coup if I could get this working... does anyone have any thoughts or ideas about getting this to work?
Many thanks in advance!

Can't Import Mail From PPC Mac to INTEL Mac

How does one import the mail folders from a PPC G4 system to a new Intel Core Duo system.
1. I've copied the mail folder from the G4 to an external Hard Drive.
2. I then connect the external Hard Drive to the Mac Mini Intel Core Duo.
3. I open MAIL on the Intel system and tell it to import the mailboxes from the external Hard Drive.
4. All of the mailboxes import, but contain no mail.
5. I then quit MAIL and restart it.
6. My IMPORT folder has disappeared and there are no imported folders, and no mail.
7. I've done this 6 times all with the same result.
Help Please. Has anyone successfully transfered mailboxes from PPC system to the new Intel system? If so how?
THX,
X86-1138

Hello all,
Thank you for your help, but I figured it out on my own.
Here is how I did it.
1. If you are moving "Mailboxes" you've created on a PPC Mac to an Intel Mac
you must have the Same Versions of OS X running on each system.
Please note that this is for people who are just setting up there NEW INTEL MAC and wish to transfer "Mailboxes" from the PPC Mac, and can not get the Migration Assistant to work.
If you've already created New "Mailboxes" on the Intel system they may be overwritten/replaced using this process. Resulting in the loss of any newly created "Mailboxes" on the Intel.
2. Be sure you have Tiger updated to the same versions on both systems.
3. On the PPC Mac, go to your Users/(your user name here)/Library/Mail folder.
4. Locate in the Mail folder a folder named "Mailboxes".
5. Copy the "Mailboxes" folder from the PPC Mac to an external hard drive.
6. Eject the hard drive from the PPC Mac and turn off the hard drive.
7. Connect the external hard drive to the Intel Mac and turn on the hard drive.
8. Wait for the external drive to mount.
9. Be sure that the MAIL application is not running on the Intel Mac, then go to Users/(your user name here)/Librery/Mail.
10. Look inside the Mail Folder. Do you see a folder named "Mailboxes"?
11. If yes, see step 13.
12. If no, see step 14.
13. Stop and I will try to post another solution for tranfering "Mailboxes" into an existing "Mailboxes" folder so you don't overwrite or replace your new "Mailboxes"
14. If you don't see a folder named "Mailboxes" in your Mail folder, do the following.
15. Drag and drop the "Mailboxes" folder you copied onto the external drive, into the "Mail" folder on the Intel Mac.
16. After all of the files have been copied to the Intel Mac, Start the MAIL application.
17. All of the "Mailboxes" you copied over should now appear in the "Mailboxes" list under your mail accounts list.
Hope this helps anybody else who has run into this problem.

Opening database from other OS on Intel Mac

I can open a database created on Windows on my PPC Mac.
I can open a database created on a PPC Mac on Windows or Intel Linux
But I don't seem to be able to open a database created on a PPC Mac on an Intel Mac.
Is there a known bug about this ?
Am I missing something ?
I've taken care of all endianness issues I'm aware of and it works between PPC OS X and Windows or Intel Linux.
Thanks.
Andi..

Ok, I made some progress but it still doesn't work. Here is what I learned:
- Restoring my backups works as long as the original log file is there. I can only reuse the log file
if the endianness of both platforms are the same and I verified that this worked indeed.
- When I don't copy the log file, I get the error reported earlier. The problem I reported earlier is not specific to Intel Mac OS X but specific to restoring database files without their log file.
I changed the code to call env->lsn_reset() on the db files as they are copied during a backup. Here are the steps that I take to make a backup:
- create a destination dir
- run env->txn_checkpoint() with DB_FORCE in the source dir
- run env->log_archive(DB_ARCH_REMOVE) at which point I'm left with one log file only
- each dbFile is copied by:
+ copy dbFile to dbFile.lsn
+ env->lsn_reset(dbFile.lsn)
+ move dbFile.lsn to destDir/dbFile
I'm now unable to even open these backed up database files later locally, on the same machine.
After restoring the files, the env is re-created with DB_RECOVER_FATAL | DB_CREATE, and that seems to work, but the db->open() statements on the restored db files fail.
The errfile says this:
file unknown (meta pgno = 0) has LSN [3][2067729].
end of log is [1][28]
./__repository__/__items.db: unexpected file type or format
I did verify that lsn_reset() did something on __items.db, the src file and dst files are different.
What am I missing now ?
Thanks
Andi..

Open 7.2 (PPC) song in 7.1.1?

I've read the LBN pdf, but my experience tells me something else.
When opening a song created on my G5 in 7.2.3 on my G4 in 7.1.1, everything opens up, but within a few seconds the app hangs; Spinning beach-ball of death. Here's an excerpt from the Logic crash log:
Date/Time: 2006-03-06 14:49:15 -0600
OS Version: 10.3.9 (Build 7W98)
Report Version: 2
Command: Logic Pro
Path: /Applications/Logic Pro.app/Contents/MacOS/Logic Pro
Version: 7.1.1 (7.1.1(885))
PID: 603
Thread: 0
Exception: EXCBADACCESS (0x0001)
Codes: KERNINVALIDADDRESS (0x0001) at 0x11f01000
Any ideas/solutions? Do I need to post more info? TIA.

mate, same here. exactly, although depending on the content i can still work with it but it's like walking in quicksand.
now i run three versions of logic: 6.3.1. in os9, 7.1.1. and 7.2.3. PPC in osx.
next year i definitely "upgrade" to MacPro. that'll be logic8 UB. by tht time the macs will be so powerful they'll make the current models seem like G3s. octal processing is here soon. i want a mac which has a least four quad CPUs, or 2x octals.
won't sell ol' grannie, will use as is for backward compat.

Installation problems on Intel Mac. claims PPC

I'm trying to install the current Flash Player 10.2 on my Macbook 6,1 (Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.26GHz) with 4GB RAM, running OSX 10.6.6
Browser is Firefox 3.6.13 {Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-US; rv:1.9.2.13) Gecko/20101203 Firefox/3.6.13}
I got the installer from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
The installer puts up a message: "Devices with PowerPC processors are no longer supported"
How can I convince the installer that this isn't a PPC machine ? Why might the installer think so ?

Hi, What browser are you using to try to Uninstall/Install FP vs 10.2? And when you Install 10.1, what browser are you using?
There is no Flash Player support for a 64bit browser. I have been very busy on the Forum and have not had time to check on the 10.3 beta. Not sure what it refers to. Have you? Just asking as I've seen it mentioned on another thread, but it's from those complaining about 10.2 not working. Why anyone would want a beta Installed unless they are involved in the testing and are Developers I don't know.
Any beta is a work in progress, so as long as a user is aware of that it's ok with me. Microsoft has their IE9 in beta too, but with an beta one can expect problems.
Since the 10.2 is not Installing, then I don't think you'd receive any code, do you?
I'm not as familiar with the Mac, but is it possible to upgrade the OS from a PPC to the edition you have now?
I'm going to check a couple of things while you let me know on the above browser info. Also any comments would be welcome:-)
Thanks,

I did it! Opened Intel Mac all by myself!

Hello,
For a girl, I like to think I'm a little tech savy. I like gadgets just like most guys. I have recently picked up a Intel Mac Mini and was kinda itching to crack it open to see what kind of trouble I could get into. (Hopefully none of course)
Its my 3rd day with this new toy and I found it running very slow just surfing and thought maybe if I put a bit more ram in it, it might help. However, I only had an old 512 and turns out to be the wrong kind (ddr333). But I cracked open the case none the less just to torture myself!!!!
All I can say is it was EASY as pie to open the case. I used a spatual, kind of rectangular, about 1.5 to 2 inches wide (didn't measure it) it was pretty flimsy and very thin and looked like it would do the job. I had on hand the tools that came with a replacement battery for the Ipod MIni. Futureshop had installed it and gave back the tools for me to keep. The plastic thingy used to pry open the Ipod Mini helped a bit to wedge the Mac Mini when I went to the other side, so all in all it took less than a minute to open the case. It actually looks hard and scary but isn't at all.
I fretted about the antenna and checked the web abit ....just squeeze the 2 black thingys under the antenna together and it will pop up..but don't let it fly off, there's a spring under the antenna so be careful. The antenna is attached to a wire, so don't pull away..just lay it over the side for now and and remember its there so as to not rip it off the wires.
Next step that was a bit tricky was getting this wire attached to a small plastic thing at the front off. Sorry can't really explain what it is but it needs to be popped off from where it is attached. I used my Ipod plastic tool to help wedge it upwards bit by bit to get it off. It is a very tight spot and even my little fingers got in the way. That took a few minutes.
Now the part I hated the most was removing the screws. 3 are the same size and the 4th is longer. Make sure you place the mac mini a certain way when removing the screws so as to not mix them up. I place the screws in the way they were removed and made sure the mini was facing the same way when putting the screws back in. Not really rocket science but helps.
Okay, what I didn't like about the screws is it was a bit tricky to get them out as they were not out in the open except for one. The screws are very tiny..my "00" screwdriver didn't work well but the tools from the Ipod Mini did come in handy..I used the screwdriver to remove the screws . (glad I had it) You need to be careful not to drop them in the hole when screwing the back in.
Once all the screws were off and the little plastic connector removed, you can now gently lift up this top half where the harddrive is housed. When lifting, watch for the brownish cable that is attached on one side, it is attached to the top and bottom halves. You need to lean to top half over towards the brown cable so not rip it off. Also this is where the antenna is hanging over, so watch out you don't rip the antenna off at this stage too.
To change the ram is just like changing ram on your laptop. Same clippy things.
I checked the ram and yes, my old ram is not compatible so I'm S.O.L. and have to re-open this baby tomorrow as I'll be running out to get some.
So when closing up the Mini, I gingerly flipped the top part back over and watched out for the antenna. Put the antenna back on by squeezing the black thingys again and it snapped into place nicely. No big there.
Fussed a teeny bit to line up the holes. Put the plastic wire connector thingy back in at the front...it was tricky again as the space is so small to work in. Once I felt the top portion lined up, I carefully put the screws back in....praying that they didn't fall off into the unit. That would really pee me off as I would have to probably turn it upside down to get the screw out!?!? But all was well!
Lastly, put the case back on. First gently placing it on and lining it up as there is a metal thingy at the back end and make sure no wires are hanging out. Once I thought everything looked okay, I had to tap each corner down until the case went into place completely. Viola!!! All for not!!!
Hopefully everything will be fine tomorrow when I do it all over again. If I can do it..so can you!!!
Enjoy all!

Sal,
No.
1. The actual text of the warranty and the applicable law* govern, not the manual. For the armchair lawyers who bring up e) in the warranty: The burden of proof of damage caused is still on Apple.
2. Reread the manual: It does not and cannot legally say that opening the case voids the warranty.
Even though the manual says that there are no user upgradable parts, it doesn't change Apple's obligations under the warranty or take away your rights under federal (and New York state) statutes.
One thing to keep in mind: Anything you install and anything you break because you did so are not covered by warranty. If you don't know what you're doing, you should stay out of the guts of your computer.

*I linked to the actual text of the applicable federal statute and interpretation of that statute by the federal agency that is charged with enforcing it.

HT202196 Why can't I open my garageband ios song on my Mac?

This is what it says in Apple support:
Use GarageBand for Mac 6.0.2 or later to open GarageBand for iOS songs.
My version of GarageBand on my mac is 6.0.5. When I try to open a song I created on my iphone, it tells me that my Mac version of the software can't open the song, and that I need to update. When I check updates, however, it tells me that I have the latest version of the software.
***? I want to edit the song I made on my phone, on my mac. Why is this not possible?
