Snow install on a non Intel machine

If I'm upgrading a G4 from Tiger, can I only go as far as Leopard, or will Snow even allow itself to install PPC compatible items, or just give a non Intel install error?

Hi-
If I'm upgrading a G4 from Tiger, can I only go as far as Leopard,
OS X 10.5x is as far as PPC Macs go.
Snow Leopard is not installable in PPC machines.

Will logic express 6 install/work on an intel machine?

don't need it to work, just install, so I can then install the Logic Pro 7.2 upgrade overtop of it. Any thoughts or ideas?

Hi,
The Logic Pro 7.2 update will only install on an existing Logic Pro 7 program.
You will have to first upgrade from Logic 6 to Logic 7, and THEN update to 7.2
Cheers
PS Logic 6 will not run properly on an Intel Machine.

Anybody running LP 9 on a non Intel machine?

I just saw that the requirements for LP9 include needing an Intel based machine.
Has anybody tried installing LP9 on a PowerMac Quad (pre Intel)? Will it even let you? Just curious.
I overlooked that small requirement, and now that I have the upgrade I think I'm gonna need to buy an Intel machine. That's an expensive conversion!!!!
Thanks

I still love this G5, L9 runs fine on it, I mainly do audio so there's no problems here. Have a couple of sample libraries, East/West Gold... nothing too extravagant. I still enjoy recording people playing instruments or singing.
Minimum system requirement is 10.5.7, however... Apple will only support their app on the OS available when the application was released. As others have found out... using Pacifist, Logic 9 can be installed on any version of Leopard, maybe even 10.4.11... I don't think anyone has tried.
So, if you have a perfectly stable 10.5.5 system, you have to upgrade, even though it's not really necessary, it's for Apple's support convenience, not the users.

I have a MacBook Pro. I am told that I can install AppleWorks on this Intel Machine. True or False? If true do I need to have Rosetta on the compuer?

I have an Intel MacBook Pro. I have been told I can install AppleWorks 6.2.9 on this machine. Is this correct? I read somewhere I would also need Rosetta but do not know if this is correct. If so how can i get Rosetta? I can presently open my old Appl;eWorks documents with Pages but my wife insist I try to get her AppleWorks back?
I had a copy of AppleWorks 6.0 from the old days but it would not install on my MacBook. A message came up saying Apple no longer supports OS9. I can purchase a copy of AppleWorks 6.2.9 but if it want install then I would be wasting my money.
Thanks, john

To install Rosetta you insert your initial Snow Leopard installation disk and double click optional install then double click the optional install package which will lead you through installing Rosetta. It is on the install disk but is not installed by default.
Once you get Appleworks 6 working, assuming it then does, you can download the 6.2.9 update
Rosetta installation procedure here http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/27987.html
Appleworks update download here http://support.apple.com/downloads/AppleWorks_6_2_9_for_Mac

IP6700D Canon driver install fails w/ "non INTEL" message

Howdy.. I have a brand new, out of box L305D-S5938 Satellite system.
I need to install the printer driver on this system, however, the install "fails" claiming this is not an "Intel x86 platform".. that is correct as this is an AMD system.
Any hints on how to resolve this install?
The file from Canon is ip6700dvst200ej
Peace...

Absolutely! According to the specs above, you have a 64-bit version of Windows.
The good news is that you have access to the whole 4 GB of memory.
The bad news is that you'll run across occasional programs that won't run. In particular, no DOS or 16-bit Windows programs are supported.

Drag and drop doesn't work on non-intel machines

It may be just me but Pages on my Macbook Pro allows me to drag and drop. The same document on my work G5 doesn't have this functionality. Both machines run 10.4.10 though the G5 doesn't have all the latest updates (corporate firewall issues)
I am assuming its the different processor but would be interested to know of others experience.

I drag & drop in Pages, Numbers, AppleWorks, etc. on both my G5 tower & my MacBook Pro all the time, no problems. There is a trick, though. You do need to click & then wait a half-second or so before dragging.

Syncing with a non Intel Mac?

I have a new iMac that is running OS Lion.
I have an old machine that is non intel and cant run Lion.
I used to be able to sync calendars between my older non intel machines using Mobile me.
Now that I have updated my Mobile me account to iCloud, it looks like my new machine on iCloud is not syncing calendars at all with the non Intel machine.
Is there any way to keep the older machine in the loop with the syncing?

iCloud on a Mac requires Lion 10.7.2. All OSX before can't use iCloud syncing.
All you can do on non supported systems is using a modern browser to visit www.icloud.com for calendar,Adresses and Mail.

Tiger and other intel machines

My question is can i install tiger on any intel machine now and if yes what would the system requirments be. if no how come, and is there anyway to do it.

hi higod,
yes, you can: on any apple intel machine - but i guess you meant on any pc.
and with some effort even that is possible, but it is forbidden to do so.

IS THE SITUATION HOPELESS
I used Target mode to transfer files to a new i7 iMac running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 from an older Dual core Intel machine (EMC 2105) also on 10.6.8. but originally Tiger 10.4. The operation was successful and I ejected the disk icon from the new machine and powered down the old machine. When this was restarted the next day there was a grey screen with flashing Mac symbol alternating with a 'no entry' sign and occasionally a question mark.Keyboard and mouse were unusable so k inserted the original instal disc (No.1 for 10.4. with installer 1.0.4) which came with the machine in 2006 in an attempt to boot from this. The ensuing window said this was not possible and now it cannot be ejected.I have tried everything ! It offers Disk Utility and other options like Terminal but that doesn't work either.I 'repaired disk' and that was pronounced o.k. None of the various keystrokes at start up will work, and the computer will only offer the installer disc continually.The only option would seem to be is to erase the hard drive completely from the disc in the machine.I don't want to do this as there is still material which I need to recover. I think the drive has in some way been corrupted by using it in target mode, and I don't know if there are any other options to try.
Please tell me how to get this disc to eject !

No; but then, I've not had occasion to use TDM. I've been using firerwire drives for over 10 years, both FW400 and FW800, with no issues except a bit of instability using a B&W G3 machine.
TDM should be safe. Using cautious, manual copying of files from the Target machine to the Host machine should not result in unexpected loss of files or damage to the Target drive's directories. It should behave exactly the same as if it were an external (to the Host) firewire drive.
• I don't suppose there is anything I can do to 'put back' lost items from a separate Time Machine drive which has an up to date backup on it.
There is probably a way to do that - seems to me that's one of the reasons for a Time Machine volume.
On the other hand, if the Time Machine volume is rigidly linked to the now-absent OS on the original drive, there may be no way to effectively access the files in the TM archive.
I know that using a cloned drive would work well in this instance.
I have no experience with Time Machine, so perhaps someone who has will chime in with suggestions.
With the machine in TDM with the other machine, have you tried running Disk Utility to see if you can effect repairs to the drive?

Old school, has anyone here been able to install and run Logic Pro 9.1 on a dual 1.8 G5 PPC? I know LP9 is not officialy supported on non Intel CPUs, But 9.0.0 and 9. 02 are ok on the G5 PPC as it is universal Binary, while I hear 9.1 wont work

ok thanks, that's what I tought,looks like apple machines are only good for two - three years, the software developers are ahead of the hardware to a certain point, love macs but this is forcing us to buy new macs just to keep up with development. There was a time it was the opposite.
By the time we get up on new stuff it's time to change again. Gotta be rich to deal with macs ...LOL

Intel/Non Intel Tiger install mix up on HD replacement

Objective:
On an iMac intel trying to simply swap out an original 250GB internal drive that died with a 1TB and re-instal Tiger.
*Situation Now*:
Booting off the original install disks for this intel iMac, when get to the select destination drive screen, there is no destination drive to select.
Using Utilities>Disk Utilities the drive is listed, but oddly is listed as a 7.3TB drive. Attempting to format the drive returns "A Disk Erase failed with the error: Input/Output Error".
If I start the iMac in target mode and connect it to my non intel PowerBook G4 running 10.4.11 the drive can be formated/partitioned with no problem using Disk Utilities on this machine and works perfectly.
What might be going on here and how do I get this thing going?
Original drive was a Western Digital Caviar Se 250GB and has been replaced with Western Digital Caviar Green (WD10EARS).
History:
When I first started up the iMac with the new drive it started up with the expected question mark folder. I tried to start up using a Tiger installation DVD but it wouldn't start (the reason was I had used the Tiger disk for my non intel PowerBook by mistake). At this point I suspected wrongly that the DVD drive might be suspect and so using the same disks in my PowerBook hooked up to the iMac in Target Mode, saw the drive, formated and installed Tiger. Disconnected and re-started the iMac, which of course wouldn't boot up. At this point I realised I'd used the wrong install disk and there was nothing wrong with the DVD drive in the first place. So now I have the correct install disk and am in the above *Situation Now*

Hi,
First off, you do not want to use a "Green" drive as a boot drive, besides being much slower, they sleep or step down on their own schedule, is it too late to return it?
Also, is the Mac this is going in SATA1 or SATA2, if SATA1 then you need a jumper on pins 5 & 6 to slow it down.

I tried to install 8.0.1 but when I tried to open the application it refused because I am non intel so how can I get back to the previous application which I lost?

to install I had to replace an older version which ran on non intel hardware. I cannot find the older version on my pc. Can I download a previous version?

Had CS4 on Power PC Mac (Non Intel) Now have new iMac and trying to install CS6 but won't accept serial number

Had CS4 on Power PC Mac (Non Intel) along with prior Photoshop versions. Now I have new iMac and trying to install CS6 but it won't accept my original serial number (Starts with PSW401, etc.).

I know what you are saying. I had purchased the CS5.5 upgrade, and a week later got the CS6 upgrade. I did this back in 2012. I had a old Mac Power PC which does not allow you to install CS5.5 or CS6 because it was not an intel processor. So even though I had the upgrades I never installed them. I waited until my old MAC died which it did this past weekend. And now that I have a new iMac I tried to install the new software. All of my past upgrades referenced my original Photoshop that was still resident on my old Mac. But since the install no longer has that reference because of the new computer, it will not accept any of my past serial numbers that it needs for the install.

CS4 Master suite; can I install non intel applications on PPC G5?

Hi, I would like to install the CS4 Master suite on both my Intel G5, but also, if possible, Photoshop and Indesign onto my old PPC G5 too. I know the Master suite is specified as Intel only, but does anyone know if it is still possible to install the UB applications it contains?
Thanks in advance!

Andy,
>To my horror, I read on the box it only works on Intel machines. Would have been helpful if Adobe had made it clear on main page of web site.
If you spend that kind of money for anything, you simply do your due diligence
before purchasing. And Adobe
does have a clear link to system requirements for each app on its pages.
For the Master Collection, on the main page: http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/mastercollection the link is near the top of the white panel on the right. That link takes you to: http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/mastercollection/systemreqs where the very first bullet-point is "Multicore Intel® processor"
And the specs do not say, "Also runs on PowerPC G5 computers" because some of the included apps don't. The minimum system requirements to run
all included apps includes the multicore Intel Mac.

Installing Tiger 10.4 on an intel machine

Hi,
I recently sold a copy of OSX 10.4 Tiger (the 5 license family pack version) to someone on ebay. The disc was the first incarnation of Tiger, bought on the day of release last year, and I sold the software as I now have upgraded all 3 of my machines to intel and therefore have the appropriate licences for individual machines.
The problem I have is that the person I sold the disc to, says he cannot install this disc on an intel 'mac' that he has built himself and he now wants to return the software.
I did say in my ebay description that the disc would work with intel machines-was I right in saying this? Could 10.4 be installed on a 'proper' mac and then be upgraded to 10.4.8 via the software update and everything be fine?
The only reason I am asking this is because if I accept the software back then I will be out of pocket by £10 at least-ebay fees, shipping & paypal fees.
Regards,
Richard

I did say in my ebay description that the disc would work with
intel machines-was I right in saying this?
You were not right. The Tiger retail install package is for PPC Macs only.
There is no reason for Apple to provide a Tiger Universal retail install package which is required to install Tiger on an Intel or PPC Mac since all Intel Macs ship with a Tiger Intel version.
When Leopard is introduced next spring, the Leopard retail install package will be Universal.
The problem I have is that the person I sold the disc to, says
he cannot install this disc on an intel 'mac' that he has built himself
and he now wants to return the software.
It is not possible for someone to build an Intel Mac but it is possible for someone to build an Intel PC and it is against Apple's license agreement to install OS X on anything other than a Mac.
You should advertise your Tiger install package as a full retail install package which can be used to install Tiger on any PPC Mac that meets the minimum system requirements for Tiger.
