Rosetta Stone - cannot install

I have recently purchase Rosetta Stone - it gets all the way through install and then says it failed. Rosetta Stone support told me to check my adobe air version - so i download adobe air and it doesn't install, says my administrator won't allow it. I'm new to Mac and am having a hard time - is this a security setting I can change? Very frustrating to not be able to see an error code on Rosetta Stone or security settings I didn't set.
Per Rosetta Stone support, if I get Adobe Air installed I should try reinstall.

Karen,
If your machine is covered by AppleCare you can call Apple for some help. All new Mac's get 90 days of complimentary AppleCare and it can also be purcharsed. AppleCare extends the warranty to 3 years and also extends telephone help to 3 years. If the machine is yours I would STRONGLY recommend it especially becuase you are new to OS X.
In addition if you have switched from a PC I'd also recommend bookmarking and using these sites. Switch 101, Mac 101 & Find Out How Video tutorials.

Rosetta Stone not working?

Hello
I just downloaded Rosetta Stone and installed it. However, whenever I open it up it asks me to update it and I do. It then says it will restart itself but it only shuts down and does not reopen. If I click it to reopen it manually it just asks me to install the same update again and it's like one big loop. Please help!
Thanks
James

I cannot install the language pack CDs for Rosetta Stone.

I'm trying to install the language packs of my Rosetta Stone package. The application CD installed ok, and it is running. You need to then install the language CD from inside that application. When I "add language CD", I get the error "You must have administrative permissions to use this feature." I've set all permissions for all groups the "read & write" on both the Rosetta Stone app file and the content folders. I've called Rosetta Stone and they tell me this is an Apple problem. Help please! I'm getting really, really frustrated with this!
I'm on an iMac, OS X 10.9.5
Thanks.

Frank,
so, I did search for the directory Language Training - it doesn't exist on my system. As an experiment, I manually added the directory and gave it read/write permissions. Rosetta still couldn't install the language CD. I've cut and pasted the permissions below of the Rosetta Stone directory as well as the bin directory. I wonder if I'm having this problem because I'm trying to install Rosetta Stone Version 3? That is the latest version that allows for homeschooling.

How do I install Rosetta Stone onto my Macbook running OSX 10.8 when installing it I go into the folder called For MAC Users and the files in there are .exe files which cant be open on a Mac. If anyone has a solution or even a download link let me know.

This is really frustrating please let me know I looked around and all the downloads cost money and I would prefer if you guys could give me a free one but a solution would be even better!!
Thanks

You have the Windows version of the software. You will need to contact Rosetta Stone directly to get the Mac version of their software. I can confirm it does install on Mountain Lion without issues.

I was going to install Rosetta Stone Spanish onto my Macbook but am concerned about it taking up space on my 2GB hard-drive. I have an external WD hard-drive; is it possible to put the application onto the external hard-drive to save space on my mac?

I was going to install Rosetta Stone Spanish onto my Macbook 10.6.7 but am concerned about it taking up space on my 2GB hard-drive. I have an external WD hard-drive, and I was wondering if it is possible to put the application onto the external hard-drive to save space on my Mac?

I think you're confused about how much hard drive space you have. You probably have 2 GB of RAM... there hasn't been a Mac shipped with only a 2 GB hard drive in a while. At the bottom of any Finder window, how much space is available?
If you're actually running low on space, you should move documents to the external drive, since many applications want to be on the system drive.

I can't install Rosetta Stone onto my new Mac OSX (version 10.7.5). It says it "can't open application because Power PC applications are no longer supported." Is there any way to install?

I can't install Rosetta Stone onto my new Mac OSX (version 10.7.5)
Any suggestions?
The message says "can't open application because Power PC applications are no longer supported."
Thanks!

Thank you... spoke to Rosetta Stone and they said the same thing, and the give a nice discount when upgrading.
Normally 5 levels of a language run about $479. When upgrading, you can get the same 5 levels for $199.
Fewer levels costs even less.

How do I install rosetta stone on my Macbook Air

I have a MacBook Air and I like to know if I can install Rosetta Stone with out a cd/dvd drive

This may have been answered before, but I also have a MacBook Air with and external DVD/CD drive. Is it possible to install the Rosetta Stone "Installer Application" on my Air hardrive? I work through the installation process, accept the installation location of Mac HD, but the application still disapears when I remove the disc.
Is the problem that the Air just doesn't have enough local memory for this product?

Having trouble installing Rosetta Stone

I am having trouble installing Rosetta Stone TotalE. After the installation I get the error Fatal Error #2124.

When I attempt to install a non-Apple app using a CD, I do not get the prompts that are supposed to occur automatically and can't find a way to make them start. I am installing Rosetta Stone.

When I attempt to install a non-Apple app - in this case Rosetta Stone - I do not get the prompts to follow after inserting the CD. I have searched for a way to activate them with no luck.

Rosetta Stone does make a Mac OS X compatible version of their software. You may be elligible for a crossgrade or a Mac version of their CD. Or you might need to consider installing Windows on your Mac, if the disc only has a .exe file.

Rosetta Stone...should I install?

Hi - stupid question here, but should I install Rosetta Stone? I did not install this option when I performed a clean install of SL on my early 2009 Mac Pro because I feared it would negate my capabilities or handicap my SL performance.
There are a few programs that I've been wanting to install - but pass due to Rosetta requirements.
Based on some Googling...nothing really mentioned about negative performance. So I just wanted to verify via the forum.
Am I'm over paranoid?
Thanks

Rosetta Stone are publishers of a range of Language teaching modules.
Rosetta is an environment that allows some Mac software complied for Power PC G3 processors to run on modern Intel Mac processors.
Unless you have such software such as Adobe CS2 or Microsoft Office or are having problems with some elderly printer drivers you probably don't need it.
There are some performance issues with software running within Rosetta notably extended loading times and no support for G4/G5 graphics acceleration.
Once launched however its a pretty seamless experience.

I'm trying to utilize Rosetta Stone software but I cannot hook up my headset USB port they came with it what's the best solution

Trying to figure out how to use a headset with my MacBook Pro utilizing Rosetta Stone software that's already loaded on my laptops

if you work with own recorded sounds you might wanna have a music program where you want to work with samples, steinberg has got very good ones (so they say)... but their really really ( ²) expensive(that's why almost no one haves them), magix haves good ones too bu their more for 'unprofessional' use, ableton haves really good ones too and they're not to difficult to use (if you know a bit of those programs you learn very quickly) and if you don't get them, there is a sort of manual built in it which explains and lets you do things to start (basics)
i hope this helped, btw stereo speakers are always better if you buy good ones (no pc speakers), but if you don't think you need them, don't buy them...
so again, i hope you have some ideas now

I cannot open Rosetta Stone on my macbook pro

I am unable to open my Rosetta Stone on my Macbook Pro. Rosetta Stone is version 3.4.5

Contact the developer. You may need a different version that is compatible with Yosemite.
Ciao.

After installing Lion, I get an audio "instillation failed" message every tine I turn on computer. everything seems to work except microphone on roseta stone software.

I have reinstalled OS Lion with same results.

If you have an older version of Rosetta Stone, it was coded in PowerPC code which Lion is not capable of executing. I understand that they either have or will have a new version that is compatable with Lion.

Rosetta Stone: 'Fatal Application Error #1141'

Hi,
I am running Lion 10.7.4, and when I installed my Rosetta Stone V4.1.10 I was given the error code in the title. After a long, long time trying to figure out how to resolve this I still cannot. I have contacted Rosetta Support, checked my Date and Time, downloaded updae v4.1.15, downloaded Adobe Air, uninstalled and reinstalled and restarted MBP numerous times and nothing is working.
I believe the problem is there is no Rosetta Stone Daemon file on my MBP after installing Rosetta, however I have already tryed to install this and it still isn't working. Please don't refer me to Rosetta Stone support, they are clueless at the best of times.
Any help is much appreciated.

I solved it. I just upgraded to Mountain Lion for free with the Apple Upgrade program. It's sad that this seemed the only way to fix it but that's just the way some things turn out. I had been on the phone with a Rosetta stone agent for 2 hours, which including them remotely accessing my MBP, but even they were stuck.
I hope you never have the problems I have faced over the past two days.

Rosetta Stone Language software

I have Rosetta Stone French and cannot figure out how to install it. All the audio options are there, but I only have option for .exe files. How do I install this on my Macbook?

if all you have is .exe files then you cannot. .exe files are for windows machines and not macs, so if you have bootcamp installed and xp on your macbook, then you can download it on the xp, but not on OSX. sorry. hope this helps.
