Possible to run 10.5 version of Preview in 10.6?

Does anybody know if you can install (I know how to do it with pacifist) and run the version of Preview from 10.5 in snow leopard? I like the old version of Preview much better.

A couple of things (from the few minutes I've used it).
1) They changed the search function. The old one was much better.
2) In the old version, you can choose what shade you wanted for the highlighter. I use 3 shades of yellow for example. In the new version, I only see about 8 or 10 choices.
3) They moved the button to highlight text at the bottom and they made it smaller which takes more effort to hit and click.
I read at least 10 PDFs/week, many of them over a hundred pages long and I use about 12 different colors of shading (3 yellows, 3 greens, 2 reds, and some others). I also search these pdf docs and underline key words, sometimes I have to do this over 400x for one word in one document and I have about 30 key words that I search for.
With this version, my work is now much harder. I'm almost thinking of partitioning my external FW HD, loading 10.5 on it and booting off of it when I'm reading and highlighting these docs.

Is it possible to run two different versions of Apple operating system (for ex. 10.6.8 and 10.9) on a MacBook Pro, either on the same disk or from an external hard disk? If so, where would I find the details?

Is it possible to run two different versions of Apple operating system (for ex. 10.6.8 and 10.9) on a MacBook Pro, either on the same disk or from an external hard disk? If so, where would I find the details? (In order to be able to use the older applications no longer supported in 10.9)

If you want to add a second partition to the internal drive (in Disk Utility, select the drive, then open the partition tab and just click the + button), you should first be sure that you will have enough room to accommodate whatever the second volume will be. I am currently doing this for Snow and Mountain Lion.
To get to whatever volume is not the startup disk, restart and hold down option/alt at the chime, which will bring up a selection of the two volumes. Use the left or right arrow keys to select it and then hit enter/return.

Will it ever be possible to run the latest versions of firefox on my G4 with OS 10.5.6 or will I always be non compatible

Every time an update for firefox comes out it comes upnot compatible with your OS

Hi dumbum,
You might want to take a look at the [http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/ tenfourfox] project. It's a fork of Firefox that supports PPC and older versions of Mac OSX.
Hopefully this helps!

Is it possible to run dual versions of firefox?

there are add ons and features i need from a previous version of firefox, but firefox 4 also has quite a few nifty add ons as well. is it possible to run dual sessions of firefox using different version? boot from usb hasnt worked (well, ok, it worked, but it started as ff4...), maybe theres something else i can try?

Yes, see ...
Using multiple profiles - Firefox - MozillaZine Knowledge Base
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Using_multiple_profiles_-_Firefox
But from what you indicate they might still be good extensions where it is simply a matter of the maxVersion not being updated. First check the following...
Go to the add-ons web page at addons.mozilla.com then find your add-on then check to see if what is there is compatible and if it is the same version as you are trying to use. Also go down to the bottom of your add-on's page and click on the "View all Versions" to see if there is something pending for your version of Firefox listed as "Experimental".
Check the developer and user comments to see if there is a solution.

Is it possible to run Labview ver 6.5 with PowerPC as the target CPU and VxWorks as the target operating system? If version 6.5 does not support this configuration, do any of the later versions support it?

I have an Ada executable that's creating a buffer of data that's being fed to a Labview executable that's displaying the data in a GUI. We're re-architecting some legacy system hardware and I'm just trying to figure out if this configuration is even possible.
Thanks

Hi,
I never heard of LabVIEW6.5. I only know of LV6i, LV6.1 and LV7.0...
Why don't you just call your next/regional NI sales rep?

I basically have an Ada executable and Labview executable that currently run on a Sun Machine with Solaris as the operating system. I'm re-architecting the system hardware and will be getting rid of the Sun Machine and Solaris. I'm don't have any issues with the Ada executable, but I'm not sure what configurations Labview supports.

Can I restore the Snow Leopard version of 'Preview' for use in Mountain Lion?

When running Snow Leopard I enjoyed using Preview with my HP C7280 All-in-One Scanner/Printer. I could place several items on the glass plate and Preview would then carry out a "preview scan". The superior edge detection software contained in Preview would recognise that there was more than one item on the scanner glass and put a marquee rectangle around each object (even separate images in a magazine page). I could de-select objects if I wanted to at this point to avoid scanning them, or I could opt to scan.
Preview would then scan all selected items in one go outputting a separate file for each one. No need to re-scan and select the next object. Preview would do the lot in one go! This was fantastic for saving time for me.
Preview really 'kicked the crap' out of my PC at work. The best the scanning software on the PC could was to auto-detect a single item.* So if I have a lot to do, I have to preview scan and then save/scan each item individually to achieve the same result.
All this changed when I updated from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion. The scanning is nothing like as effective and time saving as before. Preview just scans the whole glass plate straight to a file irrespective of what is on it, no preview scan and no object edge detection whatsoever; not even a single object like on my old PC at work. Absolute rubbish!
I really want to restore the functionality I had before. So I wonder, is it best to revert my iMac to Snow Leopard, or can I achieve this another way? I don't necessarily want to abandon Mountain Lion - but I will if I have to.
Is it possible to restore the Snow Leopard version of Preview whilst keeping Mountain Lion? Or maybe download the Lion version from somewhere instead - assuming that the Lion version still has same functionality as the Snow Leopard version?
*Even this is better than what Preview does since I updated to Mountain Lion

It's either that or finding other software for your scanning needs. For example, Image Capture comes with OS X, VueScan 9.2.09, ExactScan Pro 2.24.
Alternatively, partition your hard drive and install Snow Leopard on another volume.
To resize the drive do the following:
1. Open Disk Utility and select the drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list.
2. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. You should see the graphical sizing window showing the existing partitions. A portion may appear as a blue rectangle representing the used space on a partition.
3. In the lower right corner of the sizing rectangle for each partition is a resizing gadget. Select it with the mouse and move the bottom of the rectangle upwards until you have reduced the existing partition enough to create the desired new volume's size. The space below the resized partition will appear gray. Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed. (Note: You can only make a partition smaller in order to create new free space.)
4. Click on the [+] button below the sizing window to add a new partition in the gray space you freed up. Give the new volume a name, if you wish, then click on the Apply button. Wait until the process has completed.
You should now have a new volume on the drive. Use the Snow Leopard installer DVD to install Snow Leopard on your new volume.
It would be wise to have a backup of your current system as resizing is not necessarily free of risk for data loss. Your drive must have sufficient contiguous free space for this process to work.

Can I run two separate versions of the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine on one PC?

Hello, I am curious if anyone knew if it is possibly to install and use two separate versions of the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine on one PC? I currently have the 2009 Run-Time Engine installed on one machine and wanted to install the 2011 Run-Time Engine as well. I know that you can run two separate versions of the LabVIEW program on one machine, but what about the Run-Time Engine?
Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I'm guessing this is a bug that NI needs to fix. I see no reason you shouldn't be able to install the run-time engine of an older version. I'd be interesed in if it allows you to install the older development environment, which also includes the older run-time engine. There are some command line switches for NI installers as mentioned here:
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/C361087EE9F20810862577850073128E
I wonder if there is a force install option.

Is it possible to run the Classic Environment INSIDE Rosetta on a MacBook Pro (Early 2008) with Leopard?

Hi there,
Rosetta works up until Snow Leopard. The Classic Environment works up until a late version of Tiger. Rosetta makes apps. built for PowerPC Macs work. The Classic Environment make apps. for Mac OS 9 work on Mac OS X for PowerPC Macs.
Would it consequently be possible to run the Classic Environment INSIDE Rosetta?
I have read https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2292, but I am still unconvinced unless there is a flaw to my logic. At any rate, I subscribe to the Churchillian adage of never giving in unless the forces of common sense and doctrine dictate otherwise.
If it won't work, then why?

Hi there, Klaus1, BDAqua and a brody,
Thank you ever so much for your kind replies! (I tried giving you the 10 pts. of 'Correct Answers' to each of you, but unfortunately it was only possible for Klaus1, so the points were distributed between him and BDAqua even though you were all helpful!)
My next question will naturally be: Is SheepShaver legal? My Google search didn't yield any conslusive proof that it was, nor any that it wasn't, but as the E-Maculation web page seemed quite official and above board I would assume that it is.
The next logical step would be to ask whether it's safe for both HW and SW to run SheepShaver. HW, it appears, is very rarely, if ever, affected by SW settings, so I would assume that hardwarewise, I'm good to go. Could it ruin the kernel of Mac OS X's Unix-based operating system?
Kind Regards,
Stefan

Is it possible to run 5.5 on windows 8.1??

Is it possible to run Photoshop 5.5 on Windows 8.1? I have a CD which I tried to run but when I click on install nothing is happening. I have CS6 trial already running on the laptop, so my question is, is it because I need to uninstall CS6 (although I haven't got a warning message come up to tell me to do that first before running 5.5, so don't want to get rid of the CS6 trial without making sure that it is the problem) or whether 5.5 will not run on Windows 8.1 anyway.
Your time and advice would be greatly appreciated, as need to know whether I need to return the 2nd hand 5.5 CD.

Thanks so much Gene. I really appreciate your time and suggestions.
Btw, should have been clearer as one couldn't imagine I meant that 5.5 (i.e. ancient one). The adobe website also has this info: Windows 8.1 compatibility for Adobe Photoshop version 5 which just says version 5.5 under compatibility. So it does seem possible indeed to run this but perhaps for someone more techie. Had a look at the thread re: 6.0 and tried to run it as admin. Tried copying the contents on the desktop and change the compatibility under properties (even ran compatibility trouble shooter under properties) - but in vain. Must be doing something wrong. Prolly easier to return the CD (:/)
If anyone could drop an idea in relation to how/where to buy a genuine and legal copy of a CS5/CS6 I woudl greatly appreciate. I bought the 5.5 off eBay and probably will search for the right version this time on there again. But it's a bit of a question mark for me in regards to how do I make sure that I buy a genuine licenced version which I can register with the Adobe.

Preview 4.2 has stopped functioning. How does one install a version of Preview that will operate with Snow Leopard?

My version of Preview 4.2 had stopped functioning. How do I install a later version compatible with Snow Leopard?

Since Preview is part of the system, you can reinstall your OS using your install disks. It will automatically install the correct version. I have not been running Snow Leopard, so I cannot check on the correct version of Preview; however, how did it "stop functioning"? Exactly what happened?

Just wondering if it is possible to run netflow version 9 and version 5 at the same time (to different destinations) on the same router please?
Thanks very much

No Amanda,
we cannot simultaneously configure both versions of NETFLOW on cisco ios. After configuring firstone when you try to configure other version it will override the previously configured version.

Is it possible to run BP ESS/ MSS 60.x on J2EE stack 7.0 (EP 7)?

Hi there,
is it possible to run BP ESS & MSS version 60.x on a J2EE server stack 7.0 (EP7.0) ?
In the contentportfolio area of SDN ([https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/contentportfolio]) it is stated, that BP MSS 60.1.2 runs on
---> iView Runtime Technology:
Java / WebDynpro (WAS 6.40 and higher)
(Link: [https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/webcontent/uuid/70649942-a46d-2910-be9b-88db98b484f5 [original link is broken]])
Same for BP ESS 60.2.

What does "and higher" mean? Do you see any problems ?
I have studied a lot of notes already, but couldn't find a clear statement on this.
Many thanks and kind regards,
Jenny

From what I have "heard", it is possible. I say that because right now, I am on ECC6/EP7 at my current client. But my previous client was on ECC5/EP6 but are now moving to EP7...and have not had problems yet. I would suggest giving it a go in a sandbox system and checking it out...same as you would do for any upgrade. The fallback is that you can upgrade your portal to EP7 but then run a separate server for your XSS apps from ECC5 (that's kinda the point of the WAS anyways....you can run your apps on separate servers than your "main" server). Your JCO connections would point to the "middle" server and those apps would then "talk" back to your ECC5 box. Anyways, I "think" just having them on the EP7 box would work.
