What won't run?

I am considering buying a MacBook. I hesitate until I'm certain that the software I use will run with the Intel processor.
Is there a site that will show what will/will not run? I know there has been problems with certain "pro" software. I just need to find out about what I use before I spend the money.
Also - dumb question - to run a window's only compatible printer (a new Canon printer I've purchased) I would need to purchase/install windows on the MacBook. Correct? It doesn't come with windows, does it? That would be my only need for windows - is to run one certain printer I have. Not sure its worth it.
Thanks.
G5, iMac 500, iBook 700 Mac OS X (10.4.2)

Thank you, I will try. I had used it when OSX first came out - I had a large format Epson printer that would not work in OSX. GIMP print worked really well. I didn't even think to try it with this Canon I have.
And like you said, since I own the printer, it can't hurt to try it.
Thank you for the suggestion.
As for the software issue with the new MacBook....I visited the site with the list....looks like I'll pass. There are too many things I need that will not run at this time. Bummer. But I am patient and can wait!! The MacBook just looks so darn cool!!

What won't run in Rosetta?

Hi,
What type of Apps will not run in Rosetta?
Michael

For one, Apple's own Pro software will not run on these computers, despite the fact that they are using Final Cut Pro as a benchmark on the iMac/MacBook product pages. Final Cut Pro or Express, DVD Studio Pro, Logic, Logic Express, Aperture... you'll have to wait until the Universal Binaries come out (supposedly in March), and then you'll have to pay to "upgrade."
I can't believe they are using benchmarks from pieces of software that won't run on these machines (yet) to sell them. Someone who didn't do his research would think these machines would be great for Final Cut, only to find out they don't run them, period.

You should probably just download the trial version of pse 12 and see if you can live with it.
Download a free trial or buy Adobe products | Adobe downloads
That being said, have you tried to install pse 1 on your computer?
How much free space is on your hard drive?
Do you have Internet Explorer 10 or 11?
Pse 1 can run on windows 7 x64, provided certain conditions are met.

What windows applications won't run on a mac?

I'm about to go from PC to Mac and would like to get an understanding of what common applications won't run on a Mac. I'm not interested in things like MS Office and such which I know have Apple version, but I'm interested in Adobe Acrobat, Flash Player, Others such as Garmin, eBay Turbo Lister, Nikon View, etc. Seems to me I've heard that Flash files won't work on Apple Products. Are there apps that will allow some of these to run?
I don't think I have too many to worry about but I'd appreciate hearing what challenges others have had and what to expect in general.

All Office and Adobe products available on both platforms. Flash works fine on a Mac, just not on iDevices like iPads or iPhones.
Others that you've listed just find out if the developers have a Mac version. Do some research.

Updated my 2008 MacBook Pro to Mavericks. Tuneup for Mac won't run w/10.9. what do I use for housekeeping?

Updated my 2008 MacBook pro to Mavericks.Lost some programs that won't run on Mavericks. One being Tuneup for Mac. Used for housekeeping and cleaning up the machine. Can't figure out how run maintenance on drive w/o this. Seached for scheduled maintenance in help, nothing.

"Scheduled" maintenance is all done by the OS - there's nothing you should run for "housekeeping". DO yourself a favor with the new OS and read...

The update didn't update; I downloaded the whole instead as instructed and it won't run. Now what?

I am looking for advice: I wanted to update firefox - the updates (it described itself as 'security') failed. I looked on this website for advice. It said to download the whole version. I did this and the file won't run. I cannot update the browser or load on a new version.
This is raising red flags in my brain (wrongly or rightly). I know of all sorts of things I could try but having had security issues recently, I would appreciate guidance / wisdom on the matter. I may be paranoid but it looks like there is something wrong.
The old version of my browser is running ok for now.
Please help.

Try this:
*Download the full Firefox installer and save the file to the desktop<br>https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
*Start the installation with a double-click on the desktop icon
If you keep having problems then disable your anti-virus temporarily.

CS3 installs but won't run

Ok - not sure if this goes in this section or not.. but it's a technical question.
My b/f bought me a Dell Laptop last week. It has the recommended minimum of everything adobe says it needs for photoshop CS3 (see below for 1721 specs)
When I installed it on the laptop - it was slow, but said it installed. But when I go to open up Photoshop, it opens the screen - and then just hangs. After about 5 minutes it says not responding and I close it. Any of the other programs that came with won't even get that far. I click on them and it gives the little "thinking" circle (as I call it.. lol) and then nothing.
I have read that CS3 has issues with Vista - but their site says the home premium should work. I've also read about 64 bit issues.. but the OS is 32 bit - so it's capable of running 32bit systems... I guess.
I called adobe yesterday after installing and reinstalling CS3 15+ times... with the same issue. I was on the phone for about 2 hours with them. Basically - they have NO CLUE what it would be since it installs fine and opens with no error messages. I checked the log files and there is nothing in there I see that says any kind of error.
I have disable windows defender, uninstalled McAfee and google desktop (all are known to cause issues with CS3), I have ALL non MS startup services turned off.. I have turned off the MS users control.. all suggested by the adobe tech.
I have installed using the run as administrator. Nothing. Created a new admin account and installed on that user and opened on reg admin account. Nothing. (again typical things that correct cs3 install issues)
The last thing the guy said was that it might be a video issue. I checked and there aren't any issues mentioned and no driver updates listed.
We tryed installing this on my b/f's laptop. He bought the exact one I have (except his is red.. mine blue.. lol) and it does the EXACT same thing...
So today we called dell. they say it's a software issue and won't answer any questions for free. Apparently only hardware support is free... But they won't accept this is a hardware conflict with the software..
errrrr
Anybody have any clues on this?

Rob - thanks for taking a stab at this.
I have tried installing from the DVD and also from the zip file. the zip file was extracted to the hard drive brfore I ran it - and I ran it as administrator.
And when it stalls - it gives the (NOT RESPONDING) tag on the window - which usually means that even if I leave it (and I have for up to 20 minutes) - still nothing.
Here's the update from my dealings with DEll today...
Dell tech support guy told me that it was a know issue that CS3 WON'T run on Vista and that Adobe is working the issue
Told them that I knew others that were running it on Vista and it worked fine. They had no answer.
Then I waited for the Technical support manger to call. This is after expressing my displeasure to the technical supervisor about them trying to pawn this issue off on anyone else but themselves. Why can't they go grab a 1721 off the shelf and replicate the issue and try to figure it out from there?!?!?!
I used to work on a network helpdesk.. if I tried to pull that crap answer without trying to replicate the issue and AT LEAST try to find an answer.. I wouldn't have lasted very long at all!!!!
The Tech manager told me to call customer support and ask for an OS swap (from vista to XP) because they don't know what the problem is and so it muct be a Vista compatibility issue
I call customer support. They say that they no longer will give out XP since it is a step backwards. And to install XP on the machine ourselves (even a liscensed copy) would void the warranty. They suggest I talk to sales about swapping the laptop out with a "more compatible" one. Which isn't a totally bad idea since I really do think it is an AMD/ATI conflict.
They transfer me to Sales.. ohh - you used the Employee Purchase program.. you need to talk to them.. and they transfer me.
The EPP people tell me.. ohhhh you didn't actually go through us since you bought it off the Dell Outlet store. So they transfer me.
The dell outlet store says they will be more than happy to swap me out to an Intel based machine.
Only catch is the Intels are more expensive. They don't have any for the price we paid for the amd's. Fot about $40 more I can get one with a slower processer, a gig less ram, no dvd writer, but with a 160gb hd. To get compatible to mine - would be about $150 more.
And they only have silver in the low end, and black or brown in the higher. Not that I really give a s@!t what the color is.. but it brings up the main reason I am sooo pissed abput all of this....
Why should I have to pay more money, settle on doing without option/features want/need.. just because THEY don't want to take the time to figure out what the real issue is?!?!?! Why isn't it them doing these calls and doing all this troubleshooting.. Why am I being peanilzed for THEM not wanting to do their jobs....
Told the B/F that I am done with Dell. That I don't want the laptop anymore and I don't want any other one from them. He says he'll pay the extra and get me the other one.. but that isn't the point....
Not sure what my next move is.

How do I install the FM10 licensing fix when Adobe Update Installer won't run?

Adobe Update Installer won't run so can't install FM10 licensing fix
This question is Not Answered.(Mark as assumed answered)
Aug 9, 2013 12:09 PM
Tags (edit): none (add)
Because FM10 began crashing with "fatal" errors whenever I tried to generate a TOC for a small (65 page) book, I researched workarounds and none of them worked. Now that I have delivered a crippled deliverable via Acrobat manipulations, I would like to fix FM. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it, got some updates, and then received the "licensing fix" error that popped up in January. I'm wondering why this fix was included not in the updates. That said, the licensing fix package, first, would not unzip so I downloaded it again. I unzipped it but I got a message that Adobe Updater Installer could not run and after several clicks I found that file. I reinstalled Adoble Update Installer but it still does not run.
I am running Windows XP and have TCS 3.5.I uninstalled FM and RH but not Acrobat, Captivate, or Photoshop.
So, now what? Listen to my supervisor who says never use FM again?
P.S. Why do I have to enter a title for my question and then do it again when this page opens??

Give Adobe Support a call or contact the TCS team at [email protected] - something in your environment is causing the installer to fail (I'd guess).

CS2 won't run

CS2 won't run, says activation code no longer usable. Been running win7 on this system 3 years. Adobe says it won't activate in win7. Well, it did, and ran just fine. what's up?

I assume when you say "Adobe says it won't activate in win7" that you talked to customer support....
A drive change could trigger the need for reactivation. Did you tell them that you're running from a mirrored drive?
It sounds to me that they're being aggressive about trying to get you to upgrade when they should still be supporting you with active maintenance of their activation database.
But unfortunately if you can't get them to adjust their database you're out of luck.

EJB 3.0 App won't run on OAS 10.1.3.1 AIX5L

Hi All,
I'm developing Application with Struts + JSP + EJB3.0 with JDev 10.1.3. It runs well on embedded OC4J with JDev. And it runs well also on Oracle Application Server 10.1.3.1 + Windows XP Prof. But when I deployed it on Oracle Application Server 10.1.3.1 + IBM AIX 5L which is my production environment, the application won't run.
I try to narrowing down the problem, so I create a simple EJB3.0 Application. It consist of 1 Entity from Table (JPA/EJB3.0) and the entity has queryFindAll() method. One simple Facade Session Bean EJB invoke it. 1 JSP file call a class that do the context lookup to SessionBean EJB.
This simple application runs well on both platform, i.e Windows XP Prof and IBM AIX 5L.
But when I try to create an application that has complex relationship, i.e has relation many-to-many and one-to-many, the application wont run on OAS 10.1.3.1 on IBM AIX5L. Instead, it runs well on OAS 10.1.3.1 on Windows XP Prof.
this is the error messages in log.xml from OAS 10.1.3.1 on IBM AIX5L:
[SessionEJB:public java.util.List tintin.model.SessionEJBBean.queryBiOfficesFindAll()] exception occurred during method invocation: oracle.oc4j.rmi.OracleRemoteException:

What could be the root cause of these errors? I've tried to compared all components that are installed on WinXP box and AIX5L. I can't find any clue of it.
Could someone please help me? Thanks...

I found Error Code for TOPLINK here: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/toplink/doc/10131/main/_html/errcode007.htm
but it is strange, that my error exception is TOPLINK-7158:
7158: ERROR_PROCESSING_NAMED_QUERY_ANNOTATION
Cause: Error encountered when building the @NamedQuery annotation from entity class ClassName.
Action: Ensure the correctness of the annotation specification.
how come that error only occured in OAS 10.1.3.1 on AIX 5L, but it didn't occur in OAS 10.1.3.1 on Windows XP Pro?
Is it really the root cause or OAS throws wrong exception code? Could someone from Oracle help me please?

Adobe Photoshop CS6 won't run, problem with Application Manager

I've now got three Adobo Photoshop CS products on my MacBook Pro, the latest is CS6 which won't run.
I own Photoshop CS3, I just happen to install the CS5.x suite today, which runs during the trial period (30 day, today is day #1).
I then see that PSCS6 is out so I install that and get an error dialog.
Adobe Photoshop CS6
Adobe Application Manager, required to verify your license, is missing or damaged.
Please download a new copy of Adobe Application Manager from http://www.adobe.com/go/applicationmanager.
I go to that URL, run the new application manager and get that same dialog box when I try to run CS6.
When I did the CS6b install it asked for my Adobe ID/password and I entered that and the install completed. So I'm not sure what's going on.

Hi, Using OSX Lion...was getting the same AAM errors.
I hope my "fix" is of help:
During one installation attempt I noticed that it was using an Adobe Application Manager here:
~User/Applications/Adobe/OOBE/PDApp/core/Adobe Application Manager
It is version 6.0.236.0 and the installer deletes it after the install. The download page only has version 2.
So during my last install attempt, I grabbed a copy of that OOBE directory -- to catch the support files -- before deletion.
Did not work in user Applications folder, but when I copied it in the location of AAM 2, it works.
The full location is as follows (I renamed the original OOBE folder as a back-up):
HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE/PDApp/core/Adobe Application Manager
Authorization works, and software update seems to...however, uninstall can't use this method.

ITunes 7 won't run after reinstalled XP MediaCenter & reinstall iTunes7

We made backup copies of the iTunes folder on an external HD, then reinstalled WinXp MediaCenter (not full clean install) and moved iTunes files back from the external HD, then reinstalled new iTunes 7; however, it won't run now. When we click on the icon, it just says "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close, we are sorry for the inconvenience. If you are in the middle of something, the information you were working on might be lost. Please tell Microsoft about this problem. We have created an error report that you can send to us." We've tried reinstalling iTunes many times. We've turned Antivirus & Wndows firewall off and on when installing, but no difference.
Anyone got any suggestions because my wife and 2 teenagers are lost without their iTunes and iPods.
Thanks,

Someone in a different forum said to be sure that iTunes is installed under the primary user with Administrator Privileges. I'm pretty sure I did that, but I'll try it again to see what happens.

Thanks for any help you can provide. This has been a VERY frustrating problem. I’ve tried manual installs on three different PCs now.
We started at 10.1.3. All Standard PCs ran the 10.1.4 patch but won’t run the 10.1.5 patch.
Acrobat Pro 10.1.4 PCs ran the 10.1.5 patch no problem.

I installed Lion OS X and Logic Pro won't run. I downloaded the 9.1.5 update: "An Eligible Logic Pro Version Was Not Found in the Applications Folder. This Update require Logic Pro Version 9.0 or higher". I have Logic Pro Version 9.1.1 installed.

I installed Lion OS X and Logic Pro won't run. I downloaded the 9.1.5 update: "An Eligible Logic Pro Version Was Not Found in the Applications Folder. This Update require Logic Pro Version 9.0 or higher". I have Logic Pro Version 9.1.1 installed.
I even pulled the dmg file into the Logic Studio folder in my applications directory and it still does not recognize it. What do I do now?

Niel: Thanks.
For others benefit, here is what happened.
I had installed Logic Studio 9.1 some time ago.......not knowing what all the programs were nor what they did, I created a "Logic Studio" subfolder in my applications folder and put all Logic Studio programs into it so I'd know where they were and could review each at my leisure over time.
My assumption now is that when the updater looks for the Logic Pro program, it looks only in the applications folder. It seems lame that it would not also look in the subfolders of the applications folder, but that apparently IS the way it works. Because my Logic Pro program was located in the "Logic Studio" subfolder, the updater just didn't see it..hence the error message I received when I tried to update.
Solution: I moved all the Logic Studio programs out of the subfolder and now they reside in the applications folder. Ran the 9.1.5 updater and it worked like a charm.

What won't run?
