Rosetta?

Does the Macromedia Studio 8 (dreamweaver and flash) run on the rosetta emulator? I think I get more speed on a PC with these programs.

Yes, they run, but since they are running through the Rosetta translator it will run slower. I run those two occasionally and while it takes a bit longer to load I do not find it to be terrible at all.
The key to Rosetta is RAM. You do not mention how much RAM you have, but if it is not 1GB or more it will be considerably slower than it could be. I have 2GB of RAM and it works fine.

AS I FOUND OUT LATE, LION DOES NOT SUPPORT ROSETTA, WHICH SUPPORTS QUICKEN AND CLASSIC AOL, AND MANY OTHER APPS. CAN I TAKE LION AWAY AND GO BACK TO SNOW LEOPARD?

I found out after the install of LION, that it does not support Rosetta, which runs Quicken and the classic AOL software and a myriad of other apps.
Can I go back to Snow Leopard? Is there a way to retrieve my thousands of saved E mails, which are saved on my Mac?
I still see the filing cabinet with my screen name but cannot get them to open.
Please help! Lion may roar, but the fact it does not support apps like quicken means it purrs.

I had the Apple store wiped out my hard drive and I restore my last hard drive downloard by first placing Snow leopard DVD in the DVD drive and holding "C" when turning on the machine then I follow the instructions. I am back on snow leopard and trying out two finance software to replace Quicken for mac 2007. I am trialing Quicken essentials and ibank. They are both compatable with LION. So when I am ready will download Lion again. Also, Micorsoft Office needs to be 2011 version for it to work on Lion

imac intel Core 2 Duo Mac OS X (10.4.7)

I think that it will work, there are several items
that they don't include in the upgrade to stop people
from just buying the upgrade and running it as a full
program.
While I can't say it with absolute certainty about the Photoshop CS2 installer, this hasn't been the case with Adobe's apps for quite a while now. You shouldn't have to have Photoshop installed on your computer in order to install the upgrade version. If you didn't have the previous version installed, you'd just have to supply the install disc for the old version when the installer asked for it.
But I'll be able to test it for sure this week for sure when I install the whole Creative Suite 2 on an Intel iMac.

Does MacBook come with rosetta?

Hi tomorrow I am going into the City to buy my MacBook and I was wondering does the MacbBook come with rosetta?
From what ive heard it's inbuilt into the OS but I just thought id double check.
And I was wondering will Rosetta let me run Macromedia Flash and adobe photoshop 7.0 ??

If an application is written only for PowerPC, it will automatically open and run with Rosetta. You needn't make any changes.
There are a few anomalies that programs have hit under Rosetta, but they are few.
Here's a compatibility list, with problems and workarounds:

What is the difference between OSX 10.6 and 10.6 server? I need to install Snow Leopard in a Parallels VM and it only allows 10.6 server. Will Rosetta work if I use the server edition?

I MUST use an app that was discontinued which requires Rosetta, yet I also want to upgrade to Mavericks. I was told that Parallels and VMWare Fusion both support running Snow Leopard SERVER, but not Snow Leopard. Two questions: Will Rosetta run on Snow Leopard Server when it is running inside the Parallels/Fusion/whatever virtual machine which is running under Mavericks? The second question is: Is there any problem with running any specific software in Snow Leopard Server when it is set up this way?

Richard Cartledge wrote:
The problem with client as virtualised OS is the Apple EULA, not a technical one.
I don't know if it works, or you're just not meant to do it.
PS. If you download or have Snow Leopard DVD, you can install Rosetta in later OSs, certainly Lion and Mountain Lion and Mavericks.
insert your Snow Leopard disc, open the Optional Installs folder on that disc, and double-click the Optional Installs.mpkg package. The Installer will open and you’ll be prompted to click Continue a couple of times and then choose a destination for the installation. Choose your startup volume and click Continue yet again.
In the Custom Install on “nameofvolume” window that appears, enable the Rosetta option and click Continue. In the next window click Install to do just that.
NB/ I don't have any old software to test to see if it actually makes it work!
WRONG TWICE!
Bad idea to attempt to install Rosetta into Lion, Mt. Lion or Mavericks and good luck trying to remove it after that attempt. Result: NO powerpc app will run after that installation and you will have to complete a wipe of your hard drive and a complete pre-Rosetta install to get rid of Rosetta!
It was a common Urban Myth that the Snow Leopard EULA prohibited its virtualization in Lion or Mt. Lion on a Mac. That myth has been largely debunked over the last two years.
In addition, Apple's release of Snow Leopard Server at a 95% discount ($20) has rendered the issue largely moot!
OP: what application are we talking about here?
For example here is the long beloved powerpc application Appleworks running in Snow Leopard Server installed in Parallels for use in a post Lion world:

Endianness when running under Rosetta?

Hi all,
I have a Carbon application which is reading binary data from a file's resource and then has to work with that data. I know the endianness of the data on disk so I used to do a byte-swap when necessary (after using ReadPartialResource() to get the data into my variable).
I dutifully converted all those unconditional byte-swaps to CFSwapInt32BigToHost() in order to make sure that things work correctly when running on an Intel machine (since the application is not universal, the app is running under Rosetta on Intel machines).
Today I tested the application on an iMac Intel CoreDuo (in my local Apple Store) - things worked just fine. However, even the old version with unconditional byte-swapping works correctly...
Does this mean the "Host" on in Intel machine is still big endian? Anybody can corroborate this or point me to documentation of this behaviour?
Thanks,
Andreas

Hi,
to support the other posters intention: I would not need an emulator, if any code could be run between to processor types. If I have an emulator, it has to give a complete emulation of one processor another. If VirtualPC would have used BigEndians, no wndows would have ever started on those. So the other way round I assume that Rosetta will think Big (in Endianess).

Rosetta apps and Memory

I was just wondering - does apps that run in Rosetta use way more memory than say native apps. I can't tell. When I run Entourage it doesn't seem to use really anymore memory than say ical and addressbook. However I've noticed that at the end of the day the memory drops dramatically. At 10pm I have Retrospect launch to do a backup and it too runs in Rosetta. I'm not sure if it is running in Rosetta that causes the memory loss or the actual act of backup that uses up the memory. Anyone know?

I assume you are using the Activity Monitor to calculate how much memory your PPC apps are using, but if you aren't it will show you all the stats. To me it always seemes as though any PPC app that I run on my Intel Mac uses up a lot of memory.

Have MobileMe account, have 2008 iMac, have rosetta apps, have snow leopard, don't want Lion, have to have iCloud after June?

Hello All,
I have a MBP running Lion and its fine. I have an iPhone 4, iPad, and a family pack MobileMe account. I have a 2008 iMac that has Final Cut Pro and several other rosetta apps. The iMac is running snow leopard and I don't have any issues to complain about. Since I will be forced to move to iCloud in June if I choose to keep my account I am trying to figure out how to procede with my iMac. I find it annoying that Apple is in a sense forcing MobileMe subscribers to purchase an OS update (Lion $69.00) or at worst a newer computer (Lion will not run on pre-core 2 duo) if we want to "sync" our devices and continue to pay for mobileme services. On top of that, by forcing people to update to Lion to get iCloud, they are forcing people to lose support for any rosetta applications that they have an investment in.
I know about the rosetta install on Lion trick - (installing rosetta on a Lion machine from a snow leopard disc). I was lucky to have a snow leopard disc, so I could install rosetta on my MBP to have support for Final Cut Pro 6.
So, is there any hope of sync services with snow leopard on my iMac while moving my family MobileMe account to iCloud? So far, there seems to be alot of problems with iCloud syncing from what I have read. So in order to keep everything in sync (contacts, iCal, mail, etc.) with iCloud on all my devices (iPhone, MBP, iMac) I will have to buy a Lion install drive for the iMac and re-install rosetta and re-install all those applications as well....
Any thoughts ?

Consider running your Adobe and AppleWorks software in Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) installed in Parallels in Lion or Mt. Lion:

I can't get Rosetta to launch ANYTHING! :( Can someone please help!?

Everytime I try to run a program requiring Rosetta (i.e. Microsoft Office 2004, and about 5 others I have) my Mac says the program "quit unexpectedly. Click Reopen to open the application again. This report will be sent to Apple automatically."
This is driving me crazy! Why won't my Rosetta work? I installed it from the disc during installation, then I was prompted again to install when I tried to install Office 2004. I clicked "install"...but nothing works.
HELP! :/

Try putting in the Snow Leopard install CD and reinstalling Rosetta. Then run Apple Software Update (there are already one or two updates to put on) and then run Microsoft Auto Update and install everything that it comes up with.
MS Office 2004 would crash within Leopard 10.5 unless you downloaded every MS update there was. If you are installing Office '04 for the first time on this Mac then you'll not have these updates in the first place, if you had it before the SL upgrade you may have just lost/corrupted the updates in the process.
If all else fails buy iWork. It's 100% better than Office anyway, and half the price...

Rosetta Install 10.6.3 - Does anyone have a link for me for installation?

I recently had my hard drive replaced at the apple store and they reinstalled my mac with 10.6.3 as it was before, however, I have noticed that Rosetta was not installed, and I am having a difficult time locating a download link from Apple to install this software.
Firstly, I already know that I could install this through the OSX Installation Disc, however it is not available to me (dog chewed it ). Secondly, when I select a PowerPC application to open, it tells me that i need to install rosetta for it work properly. I get that. However, unlike what I keep seeing in forums, I do not have an option on that window to install rosetta or a link directed to download the rosetta installer. It just gives me the options of Network Diagnostics (my internet connection is fine as I am writing this right now without any problems) and OK to close the window.
Can anyone help me resolve this problem?

Hi manuden711;
If you tell your sad tale of woe about your dog chewing your install DVD for your Mac, they will for a nominal fee send you a new one.
I suggest you do this because there are numerous reason you may need it in the future.

Can i transfer Rosetta Stone Software from my iMac to an iPad 2?

Hi,
Can i move my rosetta stone software from my imac which runs 10.4.11 to an iPad 2?
I haven't yet bought the ipad but i want to take it with me while i travel but want to make sure that this is possible first.
I bought the software legally and have all the discs. It isn't an app.
Also is there any way to plug in an USB connector into an iPad 2?
Can someone help me please?
Thank you.

As Demo said this isn't an Apple thing. It is the way the world works. Software for one platform doesn't generally work on another platform.
It is something to take up with Rosetta Stone. They do make a Total Course HD application which is free. However it looks like you need to pay for some kind of monthly subscription to hook it up with your account.
Which also makes sense. Nothing is free. Rosetta is a company that needs to make money to pay its employees. They could have included the cost of this service with the inital purchase of the system, but then all the people who don't have iPads would be complaining that they had to pay for something the didn't/couldn't use.

How can I scan directly into Ps CS4 on a Mac when Rosetta wont work?

I'm using a Mac Pro Quadcore with Snow Leopard version 10.6.8 and want to scan photos straight into Ps CS4 version 11.0.2 using a Canon Canoscan LIDE 100.
BUT when I go to Import there is no TWAIN option, there is only: Variable Data Sets (grayed out), Video Frames to Layers, Anti-Alised PICT, PICT Resources and Notes (grayed out).
I right click on Adobe Photoshop CS4 inside the Ps CS4 folder to bring up "Get Info" and click the check box that states "Open using Rosetta" BUT when I click open the Ps icon to open it Ps crashes straight away. I click "Reopen" and it crashes straight away. Un tick the Rosetta check box and Ps opens fine.
I assumed this was Apples problem because Rosettas is their program but after walking it through the Apple care operator and following his instructions to download a PowerPC version of VLC (which started up fine without doing a thing)to see if Rosetta was automatically installed, it worked fine, I was told that it's an Adobe problem. Urrrggghhh
Then I downloaded the TWAIN plugin and dropped it into the import-export folder and NOTHING!
The scanner works with Snow Leopards native Image Capture so it's not the scanner. Except that the scanner buttons dont seem to work when they used to on a MacBook. But here on the Mac Pro I cant find anything within the Ps menus that resembles "permission" to scan.
I need to do a lot of photo correction/remove blurred/restoration and read that it's better to scan the old photos straight into Ps to ensure no quality is lost during the scan. Regardless if this 100% true I still should be able to scan straight into Ps. I mean the CS4 package + Mac cost enough.
What is it that I'm doing wrong or missing here? Any help would be sooo appreciated!

Hi Mate - I'm using CS4 Extended Ps v11.0.2, according to the Adobe site photoshop instals a 32 bit version only. How can I find out exactly by checking out preferences etc? I'll have to go hunt out the box.
Thanks for the reply.

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.

How can you FORCE Classic mode to run on an Intel Mac? OS 9 emulation Rosetta Software Design

Hello everyone, I had a few thoughts on running Classic mode on intel macs which I wanted to share.
Now I know little about software design, but maybe someone who does could tell me if these ideas I had are at all feasible:
Now in the first place I now that, technically, "Classic" mode went out back with Tiger because of the switch to Intel chips. Switching to Intel, Rosetta was required to "translate" pre and non-intel OSX applications, with the exception of Classic since Rosetta does not translate deep enough into the system to do that. As a substitute to Classic, SheepShaver, Basilisk II, etc. can be used to emulate OS 9, but these are very lousy applications compared to Classic mode.
Is there ANY way whatsoever Rosetta could be edited, or Classic itself so that it will work on intel macs?
(that is, with the exception of 10.7+ systems since these don't even use Rosetta)
I know if Classic was placed on an intel mac, it would tell you to download Rosetta, but from there will crashes because frameworks in the system's library does not support (or was not designed for) Classic...
So what I wanted to know:
What if an old, Classic supporting PowerPC system's library folder was added to an Intel computer in a location other then that computers real system folder (as not to confuse the real, current system) and Classic manually edited so that it would search for the needed frameworks/etc files in the new location? Would it work?
Since, after all, it now has the correct "system" to run on (which before Rosetta could not convert), do you think there's any chance it would work and function properly?
Now beyond that, I wouldn't know the actual results (or consequences). I suppose the main problem to consider would be that the the PPC's system frameworks/etc wouldn't work at all on an Intel (which leads us back to Rosetta lacking in this area), and since those frameworks will be searching for other files in the system library (which would bring them to the current, Intel system) the same results would happen: crash! Or maybe sensing the system was mixed up, one or more files would try to "fix" themselves, and in turn destroy the computer's real system.
So, would it be worth a try?
I'd love to hear any other thoughts on running Classic on Intel...

There is an "easier" way to acquire SheepShaver called Chubby Bunny and I have put together a post with some safe links that are relevant to this topic. I see that emaculation is one of them.
Why do you need OS 9 greater than 9.04?
Feel free to let me know if you need any more help.
With the newer Intel Macs, you have to run a Classic emulator such as SheepShaver, which requires you to extract the Mac ROMs from your older Classic Mac and then install Mac OS 9.
A related program is Chubby Bunny, which comes bundled with all of that included.

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?
Best Regards,
Stefan

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

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

Rosetta?
