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 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....

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!

Just installed iOS6, questions about "iMessage" and other things...

I've been a satisfied iOS4 user since I bought my iPhone4, but I was forced to install iOS6 tonight in order to download a "free" app. I found a few new icons on the screen along with about 200 percent more "Settings" I'd like to ask some questions about. I'm sure a few of these could be answered by doing a frantic and thorough search through weeks of posts but I'm a little short on time right now.
First, what exactly is iMessage? Looking at the page for it, I can't see any difference between it and regular text messages. The info page says its to avoid charges, but between my data plan and not being charged for text I don't see where theres any other benefit. The one person I text with the most recently asked me why I had not installed iMessage yet, and didn't have an answer when I asked him why I should. I guess he just wanted to see text replies in blue instead of green.
In a related bit, flipping through Settings>Messages>Send & Receive I find a "2 addresses" section, with my phone number in there as well as my email under "You can be reached by iMessage at:" and "Start new conversations from:". What good does it do iMessages to have my email address? Does the Mail app handle text as well as email addresses? That seems to be the only explanation, and also very odd to think I'd be trying to text through my Mail app.
Second, looking through the Settings>Mail I see now that I have an icloud email address as well as the mac.com address I've been desperately hanging on to for the past 10 years, and the me.com address they've been trying to force me into since those came out. (I was happy to see I could delete the me.com address from the phone. I wish I could delete it from the universe.)
I wasn't even aware there was a such thing as icloud.com addresses. When did this happen? What is it used for?
Third, under that icloud Setting I see a long list of apps with buttons labeled "Off" under it. What are those for? Under the Mac.com settings I see switches for "Mail" and "Notes", with Mail on and Notes off. The Notes app (which I haven't used since my old iPhone 3) still opens, regardless of this setting.
Fourth, I now have an item called "Facetime" under my Settings. It is off, but underneath it says "Your phone number and/or email address will be shared with people you call". I understand caller ID normally sends caller number info to the receiver, but why would someone need my email address if I call them?
Fifth, I now have a "Music" setting, at the bottom of which I see a "Home Sharing" item, which when clicked brings up my AppleID and asks me if I want to Sign Out or Cancel. What is Home Sharing? Its also at the bottom of the "Video" settings.
Sixth, now I have Twitter and Facebook settings? For what? I don't have accounts with either of those companies. So why have settings, especially since it asks me to create accounts and download apps for those companies right in the Settings?
Seventh, there is a camera icon on the unlock screen. Touching it causes the screen to bounce up about a quarter inch, almost but not quite revealing something behind it. I should probably just quit asking about this stuff already, but I'll take the bait - what is this now?
Finally, what is the Notification Center used for?
If I got a text under iOS4, it would put an alert on the Unlock screen. Scrolling through this huge list of things under the Notification settings I'm really blown away by all the apps set up to yell at me. I can see having an alert for a text message but Game Center? What the heck is that, and why is it set up to hit me with a "Badge App Icon" (whatever that is) when I get alerts from "Everyone". Similarly, the phone is set to alert me to something called a "Photostream Alert"? What is this? Why is there a Phone section for the Notification Center? So they can put a Notice on my screen to tell me the phone is ringing? Holy cow! The phone is set to send me alerts from the "Weather Widget". So if I miss the fact its raining there will be a message on my screen to let me know? Whats next - a buzzer to tell me I'm listening to music?
There's a lot more, like what would I need Passbook for when I have the actual movie tickets, gate boarding passes, coupons, etc in my hands, but we'll leave that for another time. Many thanks to all who can offer some answers to my questions above.

Question about rosetta

I'm sorry if this is a stupid question but please bear with me. I have had this mac pro for about a year with no problems. I do not run windows on this system.
With the SL upgrade my Epson printer no longer functions. When I download the new driver from the Epson site it still doesn't work.
The advice from Epson is to download and run Rosetta and then install 10.5 or if that doesn't work then 10.4.
So will someone tell me what rosetta is and how it will change my system. I do not intend to ever run any pc programs on this system. It is exclusively used for photo work.
thanks.

Rosetta is simply a software emulator that allows your computer to run applications built for the old powerpc processors that Apple used until switching to Intel in 2006.
It's only 2 mb in size. and was available as an optional install when you upgraded. If you didn't choose that option, it doesn't really matter because if at any time you try to launch a Powerpc application your Mac will ask you if you want to download Rosetta.
In short, it has nothing do with Windows, and will have no consequences if you choose to install it.

Question about X-Fi mode changes and relay clicks

Hello,
I've been having a heck of a time getting my new x-fi elite pro to work nicely in my computer (I have an MSI K8N neo4 platinum -- nforce4 chipset -- I'm aware of the issues). I kept having issues with the mode changer not working right about 50% of the time. Either it would stop recognizing my x-fi, or the SPI process would crash. In either case I could no longer change modes and the external box would stop working until a reboot. I tried many, many PCI slot swaps and driver reinstalls. Currently, things seem to be working ok (at least as far as mode switching goes...ASIO is another story) in that I can change modes without crashes...at least for the last half hour or so.
The only thing bothering me is that now, when I change modes, I almost never hear the relay click. Maybe out of 20 mode changes I get the click. Before, when the mode would successfully change, I'd always hear the click. Now, that's not the case. I'm wondering if the mode changing is really working correctly even though I'm not getting any crashes. So, my question to others is, when you change modes, do you always hear the relay click? I'm trying to get this all figured out before I decide to send it back. ASIO drivers work in creation mode, my cmss settings show up right in entertainment mode, etc...so maybe it's working right. I'm just not sure.
Thanks in advance.

Nevermind.... I rebooted for the heck of it. The relays clicked every time until I went into audio creation mode and actually used the ASIO drivers. Then, I tried to switch back to entertainment mode and SPI crashed on me again. I think it's about time to send this thing back, I've wasted about 2 hours trying to get this thing to work right.
Thanks anyway.

Question about central switching mode

Hi team
My customer's WLC is in following mode:
central authentication, central switching—In this state, the controller handles client authentication, and all client data is tunneled back to the controller. This state is valid only in connected mode.
He want to know what is the result if the AP loss the communication with WLC.
Does the AP can still provide service to clients?
If yes, is it all services?
In my opinion, in central switching mode, AP should not provide services any more after disconnect with WLC, and cannot add any clients too.
Do we have any URL or document about detail of flexconnect?
Best regards
QxiangZh

in local mode, once the link to the WLC goes down, the AP is down.
FlexConnect is what you would need to do:

Question about using blending modes when cloning

Hi I want to clone on a blank layer above the background layer. I have the tool set to curent and below and the blank layer is set to normal blending mode. I want the cloning to be in darken blending mode. I change the blending mode of the clone stamp tool to darken. Will that work on a blank layer that is set to normal or is it necessary to also change the blending mode for the blank layer to darken as well? Thanks for your help.

Well thanks. It's not just a portion of the image that I want to clone on using different blend modes, but the entire image. I didn't want to duplicate the background to clone on as it adds a lot in size to the image and its harder to edit out incase I make a mistake. Guess I will have to have two layers, one set to lighten and one to darken. I wish that Adobe would make photoshop work in the next version so that you could just change the blending mode of the clone stamp tool in the tool bar. Wasn't it like this in versions before CS5?
So I have another question for you. Can I use the healing brush on lighten and darken blending modes on a blank layer set to normal with sample current and below selected? Or do I have to switch between two separate layers, one set to lighten, one set to darken?
Thanks again.

I have a Question about Nokia Smart mode on Lumia ...

how come when I take a picture in smart mode it never use the flash, all the pictures come out dark, I like that it allow you to pick the best shot, but if theres no flash none of the shots would look decent enough, unless I was in a bright room
Solved!
Go to Solution.

smart mode takes 10 images (this number may change depending on the phone model) in ~2 seconds which means single flash burst will not be enough for all 10 images and you need a better light source.
The silence will fall

Archive and Install Leopard - questions about "previous system" folder

now that i have done an archive and install for leopard I have a "Previous system" folder. In it is "Applications", "Library", "Private", "Users", and "System" folders.
Which can I delete and which must I save??

Hi DrAndy;
It is my understanding that after testing the installation done with an Archive & Install once you are certain that everything is working correctly the "Previous System" folder can be deleted in it's entirety.

Muvo V200, question about the play m

Hello,I have a question about the play mode on my V200. I want to play the songs in a specific order (like in a playlist) but I don't find the way to do this. Can you help me please ?
Thanks
(sorry if I don't speak english very well, but I'm french )

Hi!
To get the tracks to play in a specific order, put numbers at the beginning of each file name. E.g.: file 'examplesong.mp3' would become '0_ examplesong.mp3' Don't spend years doing that manually though; the computer will do it for you! Click on 'my computer', then click on 'Muvo V200 media explorer'.. This shows the contents of your player. Choose the folder that you want to reorder the songs in...
( it's best to put the songs in folders, like you would in a floppy disk, as the muvo can only hold a certain amount in the root directory, and folders are great for organisation - eg: you can put one CD in each folder, and then the player will play all of the tracks in that folder before moving on to the next one )
...and click on it to display the songs. In the pictures along the top of the window, 4th from the right is an icon with a downward facing arrow and an A above a Z. Click on this, it's called 'custom sort'. You can then use the arrows at the bottom to change the order of your tracks to how you want them. Click OK, and they'll all be numbered (and so will play) in that order.
Hope that helps!

Questions about TDM mode on an iMac

Hi!
I'm thinking about buying 2009-2010 27" iMac, it should replace my home server, display and audio system.
Primarily, I will use it in TDM mode, and have some questions about it.
Firstly, what about sound? iMac receives it over Mini DP, right? And if I'll connect HDMI device to iMac (PS3, looking forward to Xbox One, and MacBook Air over hdmi adapter), sound will be played over desktop's speakers, as it should?
Second, and most interesting part: if connection scheme is MacBook Air->Mini DP to HDMI adapter->HDMI cable->HDMI splitter->HDMI to Mini DP cable->iMac in TDM, everything will work fine?
Also interested about cables. For example, this cable http://dx.com/p/cy-dp-021-mini-displayport-to-hdmi-audio-extender-cable-white-1- 8m-177527 supports up to 1920x1200, but basically, both DP 1.2 and HDMI 1.3b supports 2560x1600. Should I look for another cable or this one will support 2560x1440 resolution?)

Beta software is always a risk. Some beta releases are close to finished status and quite polished and bug-free, while others have significant and often crippling bugs. Not that software in official release may not also have problems, but the entire point of beta releases is to identify bugs prior to an official release, so bugs are much more likely. Sometimes you won't encounter any problems, but other beta software may take your machine down completely; it all depends on what the software is intended to do, how skilled the programmers are, and where in the beta cycle the software may be. A "public preview" release from a major developer such as Microsoft, Apple, or Mozilla is less likely to have major problems, but it's no guarantee.
It's always wise to be very cautious about using any beta software, and to take extra precautions, particularly making backups much more often and preferably not using your main computer, when running any beta software. I would recommend never, repeat never, running beta software on any computer on which you depend on a daily basis for work or critical schoolwork. If you must, make a clone of your entire hard drive to another volume before installing any beta, so you can recover your system in case of major problems.

Question about trying to install an old program

I am trying to install music writing software from a CD. This software has worked well for me on XP and Windows 7. When I tried to run it from the disk, I got an error message. So, I went through the whole "compatibility mode" process, trying it
in both XP and Windows 7 modes, without success. The installation process would begin, but then it would hang up. The software in question is called "Mozart," and I am attempting to run an early version, Mozart 6. The website for the software is
mozart dot co dot uk.
Now, here's the rub: I posted a question about this at the Mozart Software Yahoo Group, and one participant there said that he had installed Mozart 6 on a Windows 8 computer without difficulty. So, the question becomes, what am I doing wrong? Or do I have
a hardware problem? I have a new Toshiba laptop with 6 gigs of ram. I have Avast anti-virus software as well as Spybot anti-spyware software - could one of those be blocking a program installation from the disk drive?

Did you try download the latest version or applied the latest service pack?
This software is not free, you can also contact them for better support
Also using 2 antivirus is not recommended. You also can try to disable them, disable UAC and disable firewall to check

thank you in advance.
Qearl

Hi ,
No data will be lost either from your Windows program files or other drives as long as it is an upgrade.
After upgrade you will still be able to see your old program files under windows.ol folder in the C: Drive of the new OS.
The data will be lost only when you perform a clean install like complete formatting the HArd disk and installing from scratch.
As mentioned it always good to maintain a backup preferable important files in a skydrive as there is a good chance of external drives crashing.
