OSX will not run on my new Seagate 7200 rpm 160GB drive
I tried 'restoring' to this drive as an external drive but this Macbook will not start up from it. I have been all over the internet and seen where people are using this drive as a replacement internal drive. I partitioned it as one partition and then as two 80s. Each time I try to install OSX on it from my restore disk it shows up as a drive, but with a red exclamation and OSX says it cant go on that disk. I can write to the disk and it mounts as both internal and external, but I can not figure out how anyone is getting OSX to run from it. The drive is a Seagate ST916082 3ASG. It is a SATA, and both it and my previous Toshiba drive will mount in the external case that I got for it. I think it is an OSX weirdness.
Hi dancarmack;
Changing to the Guid Partition Table is an option when reformatting.
Reformat will wipe out all data on the disk.
You don't have to worry about OS 9 drivers. Your MacBook does not run OS 9.

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.

Firefox will not run except on new download.
Firefox will not start under any circumstance from any shortcut, nor when started under Administrator or in safe-mode or with all apps disabled. It will start after a new download but only once. I cannot access profile manager from start/run, each time I get a 'Parsing error' message. I have tried basic removing and also removing complete with all profile details. I have performed re-starts after deletion and before and after re-installing. I have tried backdating the computer many times to different dates and the best result is an 'XML error' message on re-start attempt. Internet Explorer still works but frequently with 'Error on page' message. I have Mcafee installed but have had for years with no previous problems.
Try Scan your PC:

Case the problem persist try disable the McAfee only for test, because in Brazilian Forum other user had the same problem that yours and the problem was cause by McAfee -

Delighted with the new iMac but I have had an old version of CS4 for years now and it will not run on the new machine. I have tried Adobe customer care chat but it seems that nobody is available right now. Can anyone help?
I cannot locate the Flexnet folder by the way.... and the License recovery tool tells me that ....
You can’t open the application “LicenseRecoveryLauncher” because PowerPC applications are no longer supported.
Where do I go from here please? -
I tunes still will not run on XP
I have tried all the tricks listed and still I-tunes will not run on relatively new windows XP, Dell machine (also newly purchased I-pod), - I have disabled virus protection, I have loaded most recent versions of i-tunes, I have cleared temp files and reloaded. I tried loading Q-time player as a stand alone. I deleted old folders of I-tunes and Q-time and reloaded. I-tunes down-loads without any error message, I-pod connects to USB and charges - and shows up as an "E" drive. But clicking on i-tunes icon, or loading audio disk or connecting I-pod all fail to visably launch i-tunes (nothing is seen in task manager after attempting to launch I-tunes - but on shut down of the computer I get the message that I-tunes is not responding and must be shut down manually). Already 10 hours spent on this

I just upgraded to mountain lion osx and now my applications are crossed out and out of date. they will not run. how do i fix this?
Here is a recent post I assembled for a similar question:
Unfortunately you got caught up in the minor miracle of Rosetta. Originally licensed by Apple when it migrated from the PowerPC CPU platform that it had used from the mid-1990's until the Intel CPU platform in 2006, Rosetta allowed Mac users to continue to use their library of PPC software transparently in emulation.
However, Apple's license to continue to use this technology expired with new releases of OS X commencing with Lion (and now Mountain Lion). While educational efforts have been made over the last 6 years, the fact is that Rosetta was SO successful that many users were caught unaware UNTIL they upgraded to Lion or Mountain Lion.
Workarounds:
1. If your Mac will support it, restore OS X Snow Leopard;
2. If your Mac will support it, partition your hard drive or add an external hard drive and install Snow Leopard into it and use the "dual-boot" method to choose between your PowerPC software or Lion/Mt. Lion;
3. Upgrade your software to Intel compatible versions if they are available, or find alternative software that will open, modify and save your data files;
3. Install Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels:

I am running OSX 10.4.11 on my iMac; Firefox automatically updated to version 12, and now it will not run on my computer.
Is there a way to deinstall the new version while keeping my saved bookmarks, etc?
If not, how do I deinstall 12 and reinstall the older version of Firefox that worked with my operating system?
Thanks.[[Firefox no longer works with Mac OS X 10.4 or PowerPC processors]].
You can install Firefox 3.6 from [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html]. Please keep in mind that not only is Firefox not receiving any updates (thus rendering it insecure), neither is Mac 10.4 or any of the plugins used on it. Running such an old Operating System is dangerous to your information's security on the internet. something for you to keep in mind. -
I recently purchased the iPhone 5 and my itunes account on my iMac 7,1 will not recognize it as a device. My imac has stopped downloading new updates, it says it is up to date with iTunes 9.2.1. My imac will not run the newest 10.7 itunes either. All I want to do is put my music from itunes on my computer to my new phone. HELP please!!
i called apple and they are sending me snow leopard so i should, *fingers crossed, be able to run the newer version of itunes. we'll find out for sure in a few days when it arrives

It will not run on Mac OSX 10.5.8, on a G% dual 2.0ghz, now my older version of Firefox is gone...
I downloaded Firefox 4.0 and It will not run on Mac OSX 10.5.8, on a Mac G5 dual 2.0ghz. Now my older version of Firefox is gone...Why won't it work, the download page says it is for OSX and does not say it will not work on any particular OSX. Can your clarify. And can I get the old Firefox 3 back or should I continue using Safari....?
Yes I've read every one of them, none of them provide solutions whatsoever, I have spent about ten hours on this site in the past two days to no avail, none of the "resolved" threads provided any sort of solution for me, I have tried everything suggested on this website so far, multiple times, to no avail.

Is there a way to download the previous or older version of Bridge CC. The current version will not run on Mac OS 10.6.8. Thanks for any assistance.
The current version will not run on Mac OS 10.6.8. Thanks for any assistance.
The easiest way would be to update to at least 10.7.5 (supported on most older Macs) but maybe you have strong reasons not to do so, however it will put you in to more trouble in the future because newer applications have more often the habit of not being able to support older OS versions due to limitations of this old OS.
Here is the announcement of Adobe:
http://blogs.adobe.com/creativecloud/moving-ahead-with-mac-os-x-10-7-and-higher/
However PS CC should still work on your system and otherwise CS6 should. As a cloud subscriber you still have access to both CC and CS6 on the Adobe CC download pages. But only PS is a major upgrade (changed to version 2014) and Bridge has just a minor update and should still work on 10.6.8 I would think?
Installing the updates and upgrades did not remove or uninstall the CC versions of PS, otherwise use CC application to install CC again. -
Report will not run after upgrade to new Crystal server
My company has been using Business Objects version 11.5 Central Management Console and InfoView for Crystal reports. We are upgrading to
SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform 4.1 Support Pack 1 Version: 14.1.1.1036 Central Management Console and BI Launch Pad. I have one report that is using a sql command for nat2date of a database value that is running successfully on InfoView but will not run on BI Launch Pad. The nat2date function is converting a random number in our database to a date and then selecting the records for the report by using the LastFullWeek function.
({Command.NAT2DATE(PY_PAY_SEGMENT_T.FROZEN_TIME)} in LastFullWeek)
Is there something I need to add to the new CMC to recognize this sql command?
Thanks for any suggestions!Ok, with BI 4.1 you'll need to use Crystal 2013 instead of Crystal 11.5. For the vast majority of your reports, you won't have to manually upgrade them because the 11.5 version will work fine in the new version of BO.
I suspect the problem you're seeing is with the "{Command.NAT2DATE(PY_PAY_SEGMENT_T.FROZEN_TIME)}" syntax. is "NAT2DATE(PY_PAY_SEGMENT_T.FROZEN_TIME)" the field alias that you're returning for this function? Or are you trying to call the function like this? I would call the function and alias it in the "Select" clause of your command so that it looks something like this:
Select
...<various fields>...,
NAT2DATE(PY_PAY_SEGMENT_T.FROZEN_TIME) as FROZEN_DATE
from
where
You could then change the selection criteria to something like this:
{Command.FROZEN_DATE} in LastFullWeek.
That will fix the report as is.
However, when you use the Select Expert for reports that have a command, Crystal will pull ALL of the data from the query into memory and then filter it there - it will NOT push this selection criteria down to the database. So, I usually recommend that you put all of the filter criteria in the Where clause of the command. You could use something like this to get "LastFullWeek":
NAT2DATE(PY_PAY_SEGMENT_T.FROZEN_TIME) between Trunc(Sysdate - 7, 'DAY') and
Trunc(Sysdate, 'DAY') - 1
"Trunc(Sysdate, 'DAY')" will give you the first day of the current week and "Trunc(Sysdate -7, 'DAY') will give you the first day of the previous week.
If you do it like this in the where clause, you may not have to include the "Frozen_Date" in the select clause.

After computer would not boot and could not be repaired, I reformatted the HDD, reinstalled Vista plus all service packs and updates, recovered files from Microsoft backup and installed new copy of Firefox 3.6. Firefox will not run.
I have deleted all old M0zilla profile folders and reinstalled Firefox again to no avail.
After intallation was completed, the automatic startup just placed a small box on the screen "Import wiz". This just sat there with no activity. After I closed this box, none of the Firefox start buttons would open the program -- just the blue rotating icon for about 2 seconds then nothing.Hi,
