Problems with classic downloads from OS X machine on OS Classic

I recently acquired a G3 Powerbook in addition to my imacs. The G3 is running mac os 8.6 (using to run old programs I had from my early mac days). My problem is this:
I downloaded some classic apps on my iMac (which is running OS 10.6.1). I put them on a usb flash drive and when I transfer them to the powerbook, it does not recognize them as applications. It actually wants to see them as the generic "document" and has the symbol for PC Exchange on it.
Is there something that OSX does not copy (resource wise) and is there a way to fix this?
Thanks

Hi, Christopher -
Is there something that OSX does not copy (resource wise) and is there a way to fix this?
In some ways OSX can behave like a PC. OS 9 and earlier Mac OS's use embedded File Type and Creator codes to let Finder know what app to open a file with, and to let the app know what kind of file it is. In the case of an app itself, its Type code lets Finder know that it is an app and not a document.
OSX does not use these codes, and, if a file is decompressed on an OSX-running machine after downloading it, those codes can be lost.
A similar thing will happen if the intermediate media, a flash drive in this case, has been formatted as a PC volume rather than a Mac OS Extended or Mac OS Standard volume.
The solution is to not decompress the file after downloading it. Instead, copy the still-compressed archive, which usually has a filename ending in .sit or perhaps .sit.hqx, to the older Mac. Better is to do that after refomatting the intermediate media to a Mac format. Do not attempt to open the file while it is still on the transfer volume - wait until it has been copied to the older machine's hard drive.
Once that is done, the .sit or .sit.hqx file should open when double-clicked on the old machine. Sometimes it won't open that way - Stuffit changed its codes; archives created in v. 4 or v. 3 may not respond when double-clicked if Stuffit Expander v. 5.x or later is in use. The solution for that is to drop the archive onto the icon for Stuffit Expander. The archive should then open, and the file(s) inside it then can be extracted.

  • Problems with iMovie downloaded from the App Store

    I downloaded iMovie 11 from the App Store Yesterday. When I try to use it I get this message, "Missing QuickTime Component." "The QuickTime component necessary to view, edit, import and export MPEG2 movies is not installed." "It is included with the iMovie installed, Please re-install." I have tried to re-download it from the App Store and then get the message "Installed." I have searched the Apple site for information as to how to accomplish this to no avail. I have looked at the iMovie Help files all to no avail. Can anyone please tell me what to do to fix this. When installing from the App Store you do not seem to get a standard installer.
    Thanks to anyone who can help fix this problem.

    When installing from the App Store you do not seem to get a standard installer.
    True.
    I have found that the physical possession of the software on a DVD or CD is a better way to go.
    In the event you have a computer problem and must rebuild your system or reinstall software, it is always easier to do so if you have the physical media in your possession.
    I would spend a few dollars more and purchase the iLife 11 disc.

  • Problem with initial download from R/3 to CRM

    Hello All,
    Initial we were able to download & replicate all object from CRM to R/3  & vice versa such as product ,BP, sales documents & conditions etc. After that <<removed>> R/3 system was refreshed by Client itself. After refresh, connectivity between R/3 & CRM is disturbed.We have observed that while initial download we are facing problem in SMQ1 & SMQ2. After debugging we found that table entry  i.e. table :- CRMMLSGUID from CRM & CRMPRLS from R/3 have Logical system guid values different( which  should be identical). Because of this no replication is happening between CRM & R/3. How to rectify this?
    Regards

    Hello,
    see note 588701:
    "The queues are deliberately halted since the change of the logical       
    system name in the R/3 backend or the linking of new R/3 backend clients 
    to a client of the EBP/CRM Server with the same logical system name as a 
    client already linked to the R/3 backend would lead to severe data       
    inconsistencies in various CRM applications.                             
    For this reason, such changes are not allowed on principle. The halting  
    of the queues prevents such data inconsistencies. The following          
    situations may lead to the queues being halted:                                                                               
    o  The logical system of a client of an R/3 Backend system linked to 
           the EBP/CRM server was changed in current operation.                                                                               
    o  A new client of an R/3 Backend system or a client of a new R/3    
           Backend system was linked to an existing client of the EBP/CRM    
           server where the logical system name was already assigned to a    
           client of an R/3 Backend system linked to the CRM server before.  
    There are different cases in which different forms of processing are      
    required or where several options exist:                                                                               
    -  The logical system name of an R/3 Backend client was changed    
              in current operation. In this case, the data hangs in the       
              outbound queues of the R/3 Backend system as specified under    
              point 1 of the symptom. In this case, the logical system name   
                                                                     Seite 2                                                                               
    must be changed back to the original value. Then the outbound   
              queues can be reactivated. If no data was transferred to the    
              EBP/CRM server before the change, also a correctioin of the     
              check table is possible.                                                                               
    -  The same logical system name was used again in a new client of  
              an R/3 Backend system that was linked to the EBP/CRM server.    
              In this case, the data is in the inbound queue of the EBP/CRM   
              server with the exception GUID_FOR_LOGSYS_CHANGED. In this      
              case, the queue entries which have status SYSFAIL must be       
              rejected, however, not the entire queues. If the new client of  
              the R/3 Backend system you have linked has exactly the same     
              data as the old client and if it is meant to replace the old    
              client (that is, this was deactivated), also a correction of    
              the check tables is possible. In this case, the inbound queues  
              can be reactivated after the correction.                        
    The correction of the corresponding check tables or the correct           
    procecure in individual cases is to be agreed upon with the support of    
    SAP or SAP consultants at the customer site. In justified cases, SAP can  
    carry out the correction of the check tables.           "

  • Problem with imovie download from icloud drive

    I recently logged into icloud.com from my windows 7 pc and selected the icloud drive icon. From there, I went into the imovies folder and then uploaded a short mp4 video (44mb) that I had saved on my hard drive.  It was a video taken from an iphone a long time ago. It uploaded successfully and the video file is now sitting in my iMovie folder on icloud.com.  Good so far.
    Now, I went to my ios 8 iphone 5 (icloud drive enabled) and opened my iMovie app.  Within the app, I tap on "projects" and then tap the download icon because I would like to get the video I just uploaded to drive, onto my phone. This now shows me my iMovie folder from icloud drive.  I tap on this folder, and it shows me the video I just uploaded, along with other iMovie projects that are already on my phone.  The problem is, it doesn't let me tap on ANY of the videos to download them.  It almost seems as if they are greyed out. Even the ones that are already on my phone as projects. I still have plenty of phone and icloud storage capacity.
    Is anyone having the same problem or has a resolution?

    Hi,
    i have similar problem. i have recently uploaded many videos to iCloud Photo Library. If I tried to use any of the videos in iMovie on iOS, I cannot download them. When tapping the download button, it does not do anything.
    IS this a bug?

  • Problem with Contact download from Microsoft Outlook 2003 SP2

    For some strange reason that I cannot, for the life of me, figure out; my contact list ( address book ) downloads, but, even though I specified " sort by last name "; some contacts show up sorted by last name and some show up sorted by first name ! Also, some have commas in the name, even though there are no commas in the record in Outlook !
    Anybody else have this experience ??

    I went to edit-preferences-ipod-contacts tab and
    selected synchcronize from microsoft outlook and
    synchronize all contacts then I select ipod and
    update and doesn't syncronize my contacts, outlook
    was open by the way.
    Any ideas.
    same for calendar.
    it doesnot work itunes 6.0.5.20 the lattest.
    Please help.
    the only way that it works if I do it manually where
    I have to same my contacts 1 by 1 becuase I can't
    export them as .vcf files so I had to same every
    contact as a .vcf file in a private folder and then
    moved to my ipod as a hard drive use. Which takes to
    many steps for a normal user. It should be 1 step
    synchonize.
    I need ipod engineers to give a hand with this.
    Thanks in advance
    There it's only two options microsoft outlook and outlook express on the ipod contacts tab. So I chose microsoft outlook, and the answer for what I have in my computer it's Microsoft Outlook 2003.
    Thanks,

  • Problems with Initial download from R/3 to CRM

    Hi,
    I tried to download the customizing objects from R/3 to CRM.I followed the SAP BP to create RFC Destination, Logical system, site id and RFC user. In our present system , the R/3 Plugin and Basis plugin version are different.I found from the SAP Notes that both the R/3 Plugin service pack and Basis plugin must be at the same version level in R/3.Is this the reason why I am getting error "SYSFAIL" in SMQ1(in the R/3 side).Plz let me know if i am missing something here.
    Thanks.
    Sudhan

    Sudhan,
    note the time & date of the sysfail error in the queue and look in both systems for short-dumps (transaction ST22) at that time and date. If you can't find any, than the error must be located in the Bdocs (SMW01) or in the application log (SLG1).
    Also check you RFC destinations in the R/3 system (SM59) to see if your return connection to CRM is active.
    Kind regards,
    Michael.

  • Having problems with album downloaded from iTunes...

    I downloaded it directly from my iPhone. It is a compilation album. Instead of displaying as one album on my itunes (on both Mac and iPhone) it displays each as song as a seperate album. Its a bit of a pain because its over a 100 songs and it thinks its over 100 albums =-S
    anyway to fix this?
    Cheers

    I know that it is time consuming and a bit of a pain in the butt to have to do it, but I would backup the iPad, restore to factory settings and then restore from the backup, and sync everything back to the device. It's going to take a while because you have a ton of music on the iPad, but IMO, that would be your best option now.
    You could try unsyncing all of the music, and then resync it all again, but that takes time as well. If you are going to spend that much time trying to fix it, you may as well restore the device ...IMO once again.
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

  • If I change the nation setting of my iTunes in order to buy a song from the American iTunes store, then change my setting back to the Korean store (where you cannot buy music) will that create any problems with my downloaded content?

    If I change the nation setting of my iTunes in order to buy a song from the American iTunes store, then change my setting back to the Korean store (where you cannot buy music) will that create any problems with my downloaded content? I want to buy an album that I cannot get hold of in Korea, but it is available in the US iTunes store. However since most of my apps are downloaded from the Korean store I'll need to switch back in order to update them. Does anyone know if there are any issues in doing this. I'd rather find out before I spend money, change my store setting back to Korea, and then get told I can't listen to the music because I bought it from the US store and my iTunes is set to the Korean store.
    Cheers.

    You canot easily change your country settings.  The iTunes Store in a country is intended only for use by that country's residents, and only while they are in the country. To use the iTunes Store in a country you need a credit card (or other card type if acceptable in a country) issued in that country, billed to an address in that country, and also be physically present in that country when using the store.  You are also restricted to waiting 90 days between country changes.

    It should unzip if you double-cick.

  • Problem with remove task from schedule in PWA

    In our environment problem with remove task from schedule by PWA.
    Problem is only when I want to remove few task in the same time, but the operation one by one is correct.
    In my opinion problem is with calculation schedule after remove tasks, column ID include wrong value it means that Number ID does not generate in the correct order same of numer
    disappear. Click Calculate button on ribbon causes problem with finshed operation and save project.
    Problem occurs only machine with IE 11.0 browser without compability mode, on other machine for example on the same project with IE 8,9,10 everything is correct.
    Problem appeared recently, earlier everything was OK.
    Txn, Dariusz Moczyński

    Hi Darius,
    I'm a bit confused. You are now talking about 2 issues.
    For the first one, you cannot edit anymore tasks in PWA, with any browser versions? Is it happenonog for any users on any projects? Try the following solutions publish the project from Project Pro and see if it helps. Press CTRL F5 to delete IE cache. Ensure
    that your PWA URL is added to the trusted site and/or compatibility sites. Check for the ULS logs or javascript errors.
    For the second issue, please refer to my previous reply, this obviously cannot be considered as a bug since it is happening with a non supported browser version and working properly on supported versions of IE.
    Hope this helps,

  • Problems with 'Order Prints' from Aperture 2.1.3 Mystery borders

    *Some background:*
    I've been using Aperture for about 3 months now, importing most of my iPhoto library into the program. I have only recently started shooting in RAW format, most of my photos image files are in JPG format. In the past, I've had no problems with obtaining prints from within iPhoto or to a limited extent Aperture. So, far as I know my program is up-to-date. I have 2 plugins installed: Aperture2twitter and *flickr export Lite* both of which work acceptably.
    *The problem:* I ordered 317 4×6 prints from my aperture library.
    Every photo has a 1/4″ border on both sides of the image, i.e. the printed image is only 4×5 1/2″. I have never ordered this quantity before, but I don’t believe that was the problem, it appears that the processing machine was misaligned and no one reviewed the prints prior to shipping.
    I tried again, on 4 different images ... all JPG files with 3 out of 4 were OK, but one exhibited the "border" issue.
    I haven't a clue what is going on here. Apple implied +(via email)+ that I would have to individually crop every photo to ensure proper aspect ratio. This makes no sense to me at all, as I have never had this kinda problem before.
    Could the plugin(s) be interfering with the s/w? Is there a trick to having photos printed from within Aperture that was not present in iPhoto?
    Any thoughts on what the problem is would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    -john

    I believe that I've solved this problem, with the help of the folks at Apple who handle Aperture tech support using the Aperture support ID that came with the product.
    So the short answer is: Aperture print services REALLY DO REQUIRE the image to be cropped (constrained as they say) prior to the data being sent to Apple Print services.
    Here is the link that describes cropping http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1993?viewlocale=en_US
    The process as described is cumbersome, but the support tech pointed out that in Aperture, crops are 'non-destrutive' and can be undone simply by removing the check mark on the Adjustments tab of the image you crop. *This means that you do not have to make a duplicate image for cropping.*
    So, here is the process that I arrived at to ensure that my "order prints" job turned out:
    1. create an album of all the photos you want to submit for printing.
    2. for each image call up the Crop HUD by pressing 'c' on the keyboard.
    3.select the aspect ratio that you want for your photo. Make sure that it does NOT SAY Master Aspect Ratio, or Main Display Aspect Ratio.
    4. Crop the photo
    on the adjustments tab you can see the X and Y data and Height / Width information which can be undone.
    5. Submit your print request to Apple for all the cropped photos.
    When the prints arrive, you can compare the prints with the submitted photos. They should all be good. You can then delete the album (since it really is not a physical thing) or keep it for reference.
    It all seemed a bit arcane to me, as I never had to worry about this in iPhoto. It must be that iPhoto sends different data than Aperture. I have just received 200 + prints back from Apple Print Services with about 98% success rate. I just have to adjust my thinking and my process when dealing with Aperture.

  • I have an iMac OS X 10.6.8 and have problems with the backup Disk for Time Machine disconnecting itself with the message that I ejected it improperly.. It ejected itself - why?

    I have an iMac OS X 10.6.8 and have problems with the backup drive to Time Machine ejecting itself and so does not automatically backup the way it is meant to do. It is connected with an USB cable to my iMac. What could cause this - malfuntioning drive?

    The "iLife" apps are not part of any Mac operating system install and are a separate purchase.
    Once you get past 10.6.6 you can purchase and download iPhoto, GarageBand and iMovie. iWeb and iDVD have been discontinued.
