Rosetta emulated apps unstable

Has anyone experienced instability with non-universal apps emulated with Rosetta? I'm finding my new iMac to be a bit unstable compared to my old G4 mac.
The app freezes, force quite does not work either resulting in needing to hard restart the computer.
Have been trying to find out why this otherwise awesome computer is glitchy at times.

Having very similar problems with iPad One...    Many of my apps now close automatically after only being open for a minute or two.. Extremely frustrating... Yesterday it took over 2 minutes for my calendar to open, always has been near instant on...
Web has turn into an snail paced experience...   Wifi is not the issue... Speednet test show ping 21 ms, upload 3.92 Mbps and download at 18.77 Mbps..
Biggest technical issue I have found is RAM useage... Open up a few apps, mail, calendar, USA Today and my free RAM drops below 5 mb, which clearly makes the whole IPAD system unstable...
I use to be able have 20+ apps and NEVER have RAM issues... Something in IOS 5 is driving this issue...
I did have iCloud on the iPad, but that completely destroyed my calendar and address apps, plus brought total chaos to my other Apple hardware (iMac, Mac Air, iPhone 4S, iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS)... Took many hours to delete it...   There could be some lingering issues on the iPad with its tie in to IOS 5...
Clearly the release of iCloud & IOS 5 were premature & we have turned into beta testers,,

Rosetta emulation gone on iMac 20" (2GHz, 10.5.5)

A few days ago, I noticed that some apps don't work anymore. They all are PPC. Now I tried to open a universal binary file (iChat, Safari) with Rosetta (used the file information and checked the rosetta option) and the app didn't work either. So it looks like my Rosetta emulation is gone completely. But why and... where?
What can I do (except for a complete reinstall) to get it back?

Hey Guys ...
While I was researching about how to run PPC games on my Intel Mac Pro, using Rosetta, I discovered that a file was missing. So after I replaced the file I'm running AOE II (a 6 year old game).
But it's a pain to do so but follow these steps ...
1) Insert your Leopard Install Disc. Make sure it's on the Desktop.
2) Open a 'Terminal' window and type in +sudo -s+ then press the 'Return' key.
3) Enter your Administrators password then press the 'Return' key.
4) Type in cp and press the 'Space Bar' (to add a space).
5) Click & drag the Leopard Install Disk from the 'Desktop' into the 'Terminal' window & release. This will add "\" to all the 'Spaces' in the Leopard Install Disk Name and at this point the 'Terminal' command line should look like this ...
+cp /Volumes/Mac\ OS\ X\ Install\ Disc\ 1+ (no space after the Disc Name).
6) Now type in this:/usr/libexec/oah/translate and press the 'Space Bar' (to add a space).
7) Now type in this: /usr/libexec/oah/. The command line should now look like this ...
+cp /Volumes/Mac\ OS\ X\ Install\ Disc\ 1/usr/libexec/oah/translate /usr/libexec/oah/+
8) Now press the 'Return' key.
9) If you receive an error then recheck the command line by pressing the up arrow key.
10) If all went well then type in 'exit' and press the 'Return' key then close the 'Terminal' window.
11) Run 'Disk Utility' to verify & set the required permissions.
Your PPC apps should run OK now.
Good Luck.

Rosetta Emulation Mode?

Does anyone know about Rosetta Emulation mode? How do I go to this thing? I have to use this mode for my browser to download and install macromedia shockwave player...but i couldn't locate it....

Your OS X comes with a universal Shockwave plug-in Do not replace it with the PPC version. If you download the most recent universal binary version of Flash it incorporates Shockwave.
Actually, the original poster is correct. Shockwave is still a PowerPC-only plug-in. Take a look at the following link to confirm:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=82216d24&sliceId=1
(Flash and Shockwave are similar, to be sure, but there are still some older education and business web apps that require Shockwave.)
That link also includes detailed instructions on how to configure your browser to run in Rosetta. Good luck!

Sound effects no longer play in Rosetta emulation games

While sorting out the data transferred from my recently deceased Powerbook G4 17", I accidently started up Audacity 1.2.3 which is a Power PC only version. It only partially loaded with its icon in the Dock but nothing else. I had to force quit the program to get rid of it and then deleted it. When my teenage son went to play his suite of PPC games such as Age of Empires 2 and StarWars after that, the game sound effects no longer worked. The background music still plays, but all the player responsive sound effects will not play, even though the settings to play them are correct.
I am wondering if the opening up and crashing of the Power PC Audacity may have stuffed up something in the Rosetta emulation system software relating to the sound output of emulated games. Before I consider doing a full backup and reinstall, does anyone who is a regular gamer playing PPC games on a Macbook Pro have any ideas on how to fix this problem. I was wondering if the Rosetta component of OSX can be replaced from a working system or if it is totally integrated into the Mac OS unlike Classic was.
All advice appreciated!

+I tried to set "Problem solved" but got an error so will try again later.+
Thanks for trying and glad it fixed the problem

How to install Apple's Rosetta emulation software?

Sigma Chess is a legacy PowerPC application and therefore needs Apple’s Rosetta emulation software in order to run on Intel based Macs. This is pre- installed on Mac OS X 10.5 and earlier, but must be installed manually on the new Mac OS X 10.6. Please guide me

Trouble installing Shockwave: Question about Rosetta Emulation Mode

Hi, I just got my macbook a few days ago. I can't access Rosetta Stone (language learning program) due to lack of Shockwave. I tried to install it based on the instructions offered on the Shockwave website, but I was unsuccessful. Here are the instructions they offered me:
Rosetta Emulation Mode
1. Quit out of the browser
2. Go to your Applications folder and control-click on the browser application bundle.
3. In the context menu that appears select Get Info.
4. Under the general heading of the info dialog select "Open Using Rosetta."
5. Close out of the Info dialog box.
Sounds simple, but I can't seem to find the "browser application bundle. A finder search yielded nothing. Please help; I need to finish Ch. 2 by next week (when school starts), haha...

To enable Rosetta in Safari simply open finder, click on Applications, and then find Safari, hold down the ctrl button on your keyboard and then click Safari, a menu will show up, click "Get Info" near the top, a Safari info window appears, check the box that says, "Open using Rosetta." Thats it! Hope this helps!

Rosetta stone via rosetta emulator

I am trying to run rosetta stone (the language program) online version and i get the error.
rosettastone.com/online/code/current_version/Local/ENGlui.cct
I even found the file to try and force it to run in rosetta emulator but when I go to "get info" there is not option for me to force it to go through rosetta emulator.
I checked their FAQ pages and it seems that with the dual core intel it should not be a problem because rosetta would run automatically and decipher rosetta stone program.
Any help would be great!!!
Grant Parkis

I had a similar problem trying to get the web version of Rosetta to run on the MBP. My work around is simple...
I am using the firefox browser and forcing the emulator mode. Then logged in to Rosetta and performed the necessary installation. I found this to be the only way to make it work for me. I hope this helps you.

Rosetta & Universal Apps - Identify?

I recently heard that Lion won't support Rosetta apps. Ever since I started using my new Mac Pro, I've continued use of old apps. Now I'm not sure which are rosetta and which are universal. Is there a way to indentify one from another? If I'm going to have to shell out big $$$ to continue to have critical aps Photoshop, I need to know before downloading Lion from the app store, overwriting the OS, and inadvertently loosing apps.

With a Mac Pro you can install another drive, clone your current set-up to it, then install Lion on the clone. That way you can boot Snow Leopard anytime you want. I have all four drive bays occupied with drives, and can boot Tiger, Leopard, Snow Leopard, and will shortly add Lion to the list.
That said, the easiest way to see what's what with your applications is open the Applications folder, do Command-F to bring up the search window, change the Kind criterion from "Any" to "Application" and put the results into List view. Now select the first app on the list and bring up the Inspector window (Command-Option-I) and at the top of the little Info window, next to the Kind description of the app, it will say in parantheses what the app is:
In this case the app is Intel. Lots of my third party apps are Universal, a few are PowerPC. Mostly games and all the MS Office 2004 stuff, plus Eudora (which I will finally have to give up). With Inspector rather than GetInfo, you can quickly run down the list of apps using the arrow key. Just press down and you go to the next app, which replaces the previous one in the Inspector window.

IOS6 makers some iPad2 Apps unstable

Hi, I updated to iOS6 through iTunes... All normal.
Now some of my Apps are unstable or won't stay open.
Example is VLC video player, was great now won't stay open long enough to start playing a film.
Help please...
Alex

It's up to app developers to make their apps work with the OS, not up to Apple to make sure their OS works with every app. So yeah, contact the developer, there's nothing Apple can do.

SATSA Card Emulator App communication

Greetings,
I know that probably this questions has been asked a million of times, but i just cant get it done and i've searched through google.
I have my midlet with with piece of code:
private final String slot0ApduAid = "apdu:0;target=f7.22.20.94.5a";
private APDUConnection apduConnection0;
apduConnection0 = (APDUConnection)Connector.open(slot0ApduAid);I have my JavaCard Applet loaded into the emulator
   public void process(APDU apdu) {
        byte[] buffer = apdu.getBuffer();
        if (apdu.isISOInterindustryCLA()) {
            if (buffer[ISO7816.OFFSET_INS] == (byte) (0xA4)) {
                return;
            ISOException.throwIt(ISO7816.SW_CLA_NOT_SUPPORTED);
        if (buffer[ISO7816.OFFSET_CLA] != Wallet_CLA) {
            ISOException.throwIt(ISO7816.SW_CLA_NOT_SUPPORTED);
        switch (buffer[ISO7816.OFFSET_INS]) {
                  .........The problem the midlet never gets to open the connection, like when you open a socket connection and stays blocked up until the other side answer.
In the emulator i send the list command and it shows me

Rosetta Stone app won't go away

I have deleted Rosetta Stone from my Satellite C650D (Windows 7, if that matters). When I run a virus scan, it takes over an hour to scan what it says are Rosetta Stone programs. What are these and how do I delete them for good?

Sometimes when you uninstall an application, the application's uninstaller only removes the application files themselves and not data made by the application. You might want to contact Rosetta Stone to see if they have more information about the files that might have been left.
- Peter

My Rosetta Stone app is stuck on the loading screen, no matter how many times I re-install it. RS customer support says to contact Mac support.

Here are the step I follow when an app misbehaves. Start with number 1 and go down the list until you find one (hopefully) that works.
1. Quit the app like I describe then try again. Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app.
2. Quit the app then reset the device. To reset your iPad press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button continuously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the button and let the device restart. You will not lose data doing this. It's like a computer reboot.
3. Quit the app and then delete the app. To delete an app tap and hold on the app until your apps begin to juggle and display an X. Tap the X and confirm the delegation. Then reset the iPad. Finally download the app again (you will not have to pay) and try again.
4. If none of these have helped the problem most likely lies with the app itself. Contact the developer.

10.4.8: Rosetta/PowerPC apps still quitting...

Sigh. Continually employing the "workaround" is getting old.

You are correct - Micron, SAMSUNG, Hynix, Nanya are all installed. My new week 38 MBP came with Nanya and I added another GB of Nanya. My belief is that 10.4.8 is a flawed update. I dumped it because it screwed up my Airport reception - 10.4.7 and all is well again

How to deactivate the rosetta option if it is not shown in information page

Hi,
by accident or why ever I clicked the option "start with rosetta" on my eyetv.app. STRANGE now the option is no longer viewable in information field and I can't start the application inside of the application folder because I get then the message "EyeTV can't run under Rosetta-Emulation" please deactivate the Option via Menu Ablage and unmark the option. BUT I can't see this option in information field. AND if i try to start the eyetv.app in an folder outside of applications it works.
Anyone an idea

Hi,
thank you for the hint with command+i BUT THIS DOES NOT help of course, because I already wrote that I used this.
I solved it now in different way which leads to a general question that somewhere the osx seems to note versions of programs and how to open them.
Description of this issue now in detail:
- I installed EyeTV in Version 3.0 on OSX 10.6 and started it.
- a message appears that this program is not made for this OSX version (it was made for 10.5)
- stupidly Elgato has no direct access to update from 3.0 to 3.1.2 which works with 10.6 WHICH means EyeTV has a buildin update BUT is useless if you can't start this app
- OK this leads me to idea to enable the "Start with Rosetta option"
- Didn't work
- I took then an 3.1.2 Version from my TimeMachine Backup and copied it over the old ones
- tried to start it and the message appear "This cannot run in Rosetta Mode"
- HERE IT COMES the little option field where you can disable or enable Rosetta in the information of the eyetv 3.1.2 is not shown so I was unable to disable it of course
- so i copied the file to a different directory and it works there normally
- ..... AFTER 2 hours i remembered that I had set the "Start with Rosetta" option on version 3.0 and the Snow Leopard seems to have noted this somewhere and i need a trick to see this option and the only way is to use a version 3.0 file maybe the option will appear there again
- ok copied Version 3.0 over the 3.1.2
- AND AH the rosetta option appears and was enabled and I had here the possibility to disable or unmark it
- then copy back the 3.1.2 Eyetv version file and AH it runs
So imagine that someone else uses today an application which really needs rosetta, and a user activates this and after some month a Snow Leopard 64bit version comes and nobody tells the user to deactivate the rosetta version on old package before installing new one.... poor user, I guess the 64bit version will tell the crap "This application can't run under rosetta" and the user will never find the way to disable it.
Hope there is a better way to find out for which application in which version was set the "start with rosetta" option in the system.
IF ANYONE KNOWS PLEASE let me know

Var apps no longer working on Lion

Hi All,
Just upgraded to Lion to find var apps not working.
Specifically Office 2004 which wilst I'm not exactly happy with can live without, but still don't appreciate fact this was not sufficently advertised as being an issue BEFORE i upgraded, and now need to buy either upgrade or switch to something else.
But other apps have stopped as well, presumably for same reason.
My Daughter went to play Zoo Tycoon this morning and that seems to have gone the same way.
anyone know if this can be "fixed" or there is an upgrade available for Zoo Tycoon ? or is tehre a version that WILL work on Lion ?
Like I say not happy doing what was billed as relatively minor upgrade (10.7 to 10.8 doesn't SOUND like a significant upgrade) being much more troublesome than anything I've done previously.
any suggestions ?
Thanks
David

This is a fairly well known issue, caused by OS X 10.7 Lion dropping the Rosetta emulator, which allowed PowerPC code to run on Intel systems. My system is set up as a dual boot system, which uses Lion for everyday use, but can also be booted to Snow Leopard when I need access to a few PowerPC programs I have.
If you want to see what is affected, click on the apple on the left of the menu bar, about this mac, more info, system report, and under software click applications. This will take a few moments to populate. Then click on kind and scroll down to find PowerPC. These programs will no longer run under Lion.
Zoo Tycoon 2 is available in a univeral binary which will run on Intel systems. If you buy an older version, here's the upgrade link to the free upgrade so it will run on Intel systems.
