Trying to install software on new iMac

I have just bought a new iMac, OS X 10.9.  I tried to install my Illustrator 10 software and received the following message - You can't open Illustrator 10 because powerPC applications are no longer supported.
What do I do now? Can anyone advise me please?

Illustrator 10 operates in your old OS under Rosetta, with the new iMac running the OS which will not support Rosetta you can't run Illustrator 10. If you browse to the Illustrator 10 application icon does it have a circle slash over the icon? You will need to run Illustrator 10 on a system that supports Rosetta, or upgrade your Illustrator software.

  • Problem installing software on new imac

    I am using a new imac and i tried to instal the software. It seemed to work with disk 1. I skipped verifying the disk though. Disk # 2 i will try to install. It will look like its finishing but then it will say problem instaling software. Please try again. I have tried it 2 times already. PLEASE HELP!!!

    Let me see if I have this straight.
    You are simply trying to install Mac OS 9.2 from disc 2, correct?
    What happens when you insert the disc?
    Does it mount on the desktop?
    Do you receive any errors?
    Are you able to double click the install classic icon?
    b I am using a new imac and i tried to instal the software. It seemed to work with disk 1.
    So you were trying to reinstall the system software from disc 1?
    Was this an upgrade of the software or a reinstall of what came with your computer?

  • Problem installing on my new iMac

    I have an ugrade version of Photoshop Elements 10/Premier Elements 10. I  have recently changed from a Windows based machine to a new iMac. I obviously do not have my previous software installed on my new iMac. I suspect that there may be a problem to install my software for that reason, but in addition, I get the following error messages:

  • I am trying to install software and am getting the following prompt.Installation Failed, the installer cant create the folder "var/folders/sq/2fzf3s_d2bzb21159nbwkb2r0000gn/T//install.3732dq0ogT. How do I repair this

    I am trying to install software and am getting the following prompt.
    "Installation Failed, the installer cant create the folder "var/folders/sq/2fzf3s_d2bzb21159nbwkb2r0000gn/T//install.3732dq0ogT.
    How do I repair this

    Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
    Triple-click the following line on this page to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    { sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not  going to reset a password.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

  • Error trying to install software through software center Config Man 2012 sp1

    We are getting this error when trying to install a simple MSI package setup as an application on Config manager 2012 sp1.
    The software change returned error code 0x87D00607
    I noticed in the CITaskMgr.log file the following.
    <![LOG[Unable to get locations, no need to continue with download]LOG]!><time="15:06:40.398+300"
    I have verified that my clients IP address is in a boundary and belongs to a boundary group that has a DP assigned.
    In CAS.log we have   The number of discovered DPs(including Branch DP and Multicast) is 0
    We have 2 DP's setup.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks Lance

    Hi Torsten,
    I am not sure exactly what you mean but let me try to explain the best I can.
    We have a Boundary Group named Our Boundary Group.
    In this Boundary Group we have a number of Boundaries defined.
    One boundary encompasses the IP address of my machine which I am trying to install software too.
    This used to work before we created a new DP to service HTTPS requests (for macs and mobiles) and changed our regular DP back to http.   So we have 2 DP's as mentioned.  One for https and one for http.
    Under the servers and site system roles and looking at the distribution point properties, I can see our boundary group listed.
    Is there another way I can test to see if the distribution point is working properly?  Is there a URL that should work that I can try?  What log file would I look at to see if the distribution point is having problems?
    Under the monitoring and system status, the distribution point shows up as working (green check mark)
    Any guidance would be appreciated.
    Thanks Lance

    Used CS 2 on a now defunct Mc G5. Trying to instal on a new Mini running OSX.10. Won't activate despite valid number. Why? Help!

    That's a waste of time. Contemporary versions of OSX do no longer support PPC applications and even if they did, this would still apply:

  • I am trying to install a brand new WD 500 gb sata internal hd in my macbook pro. the original install dvd does not recognise the hd. all hardware is ok. any help?

    I am trying to install a brand new WD 500 gb sata internal hd in my macbook pro. the original install dvd does not recognise the hd. all hardware is ok. any help?

    For some reason OS X disks (whatever edition or flavors) that are supplied with Apple products only seem to contain a limited knowledge of available hard drives on the market at the time of thier publishing. This (rather opportunistically) creates a "Best Before" stale-OS X-software-copy situation where upgrading to or replacing a defective internal SATA hard drive with a newer, better or larger one is a largely hit and miss affair.
    If you buy the latest and greatest disk drive available for any older Mac you are likely to run into unresolvable problems making a clean re-install of your own, old edition or flavor of OS X onto any newer or larger hard drive since the OEM (gray) "OS X Install Disks" that Apple supply with retail products seem to contain only time-sensitive lists/mapings of then-known target drives that the Drive Management Tool in the then-published old "Installer Software" will support.
    Presumably new (colorful "X") retail versions of OS X (10.whatever.whatever) also contain time-limited Installers with limited knowledge of and adaptability to/compatability with a limited number of old hard drives then kicking-around on the market.
    This is especially a problem nowadays since the countless "puny old" hard drives that have been on the market are largely obsolete in a few months time, as manufacturers continue to produce larger and cheaper units, discontinuing older puny products... So if your drive fails you need an exact old (or similar familial) replacement drive for your "backup copy of OS X" to do a fresh, clean OS X re-install. Otherwise you need to purchase a new retail version of OS X, since yours is now effectively obsolete. Purchasing an old, puny drive to re-install your version.flavor of OS X to avoid buying a new version of OS X is a rather false economy.
    If you still have a working old hard drive with your old polluted 10.version.flavor of OS X still working on it you apparently must clone it with Time Machine or the newest version of Disk Utility (disk image copying) to most newer, larger drives, and a clean reinstall to such new hard drives is not possible.

    Many Thanks, Kurt.
    I knew I'd seen the solution you've provided somewhere - either in MacWorld or MacFormat - but couldn't remember the Gatekeeper bit!
    I shall save it somewhere VERY safe now in case this happens again …
    You have made an old man very happy and saved me from worrying that senile decay had suddenly set in. (I was 70 last week so you might understand the situation from that.)

    I have different icloud and iTunes id's and I want to do homesharing for all my devices. I'm trying to set up a new iMac but homesharing is not working. Should it be the itunes or iCloud id?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Preferably your iTunes account, but it shouldn't really matter for getting homesharing turned on, as long as it's a valid ID.
