When will PPC + Tiger start losing app support?

I bought the final model PPC Mac Mini with superdrive and Tiger that was being closed out through Costco. Plays well with my legacy software investment which includes classic apps -- and it supports NeoOffice/J, which Macintel doesn't yet.
Any guesses how long it will be before new Mac software will no longer run under Tiger on PPC hardware? I ask because already so much new software requires at least 10.3.9 or even 10.4.x. How long before apps start requiring "intel-inside", or Leopard?
What are your guestimates of the obsolesence curve for the next two years?
iBook G4 800, 640 Meg; Mac Mini (final issue) Superdrive

Not sure what your questing really is here. Are you talking about how long Tiger will be viable or how long the PPC chip in your machine will be viable? Apple has asked developers to provide Universal support for PPC for at least five years, and Apple itself supported the 68k processors for 11 years after the transition from 68k to PPC. The only wrench here is that you have a G4.....I have the iMac G5 (iSight) and I am not worried about it. By the time PPC support even begins to show the first signs of drop off, it will be time to replace this machine anyway.....

When will Adobe Reader for Mobile Devices support 3D PDF files?

When will Adobe Reader for Mobile Devices support 3D PDF files?

There are two basic varieties of LiveCycle XFA...Static XFA and Dynamic XFA, which are very different in terms of their future for potential support in Adobe Reader for iOS. Which variety of XFA are you using?
Static XFA uses the PDF markup language for content and form fields, so users can view the documents in Adobe Reader for iOS, but we currently do not properly handle filling, saving, and submitting those forms. I have improving our handling of Static XFA on my roadmap, but cannot offer any specific date yet (sorry, policy plus actual uncertainty). I know that there are some other apps that partially support Static XFA, though I do not know how complete their support is. If you can even open the XFA document in Adobe Reader for iOS, it is likely Static XFA.
Dynamic XFA is effectively a JavaScript application packaged inside a PDF wrapper, which generates layout and form fields via code and requires a significant engine to support this. Support for Dynamic XFA is unfortunately not currently on our roadmap for iOS due to the nature of the technology, and our concern that any implementation we try likely will not pass Apple's restriction against installing something that allows other "apps" to be downloaded and executed from within it. The LiveCycle team is exploring solutions for our enterprise customers wanting to use Dynamic XFA from mobile devices as part of their server offering, but I cannot offer any insight here. To my knowledge, there are no applications that handle Dynamic XFA other than Adobe Reader for the desktop platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux).

i hear something about 1.1.4 coming out next couple weeks that true ???

The release of the SDK is scheduled sometime this month. That will allow developers to design software for the phones. After approval from Apple, they would be made available, probably through iTunes.
No one here would know about a release of 1.1.4, or if the next update will even be called 1.1.4. That is up to Apple and they don't release that information early.
Hope this helps you.

When will the retina display resolution be supported?

Hello,
I got a new ipod touch 4th generation and everyones app looks great except for mine. Everything is jaggy. When will I be able to see my app in high resolution? Will flash be fast enough?

Maybe I should have asked "will the retina display resolution ever be supported?"

When will Adobe Flash Builder 4.6 support iOS 5.1 and the retina display?

I have installed Adobe Flash Builder 4.6 along with the Adobe AIR 3.3 SDK and am understanding that there isn't support for iOS 5.1 nor the Retina display devices, is this correct? If so, when will this be available? If not, what is a good workaround?
Thanks,
N.M.

note sure if I'm much help other than to CONFIRM it is working for me by using the sdk WITHOUT the compiler. Check out adobe's little note: "Note : Flex users will need to download the original AIR SDK without the new compiler."
I am using FB 4.7 with AIR 3.6 and seems to compile correctly for iOS.
Maybe try reinstalling flash builder?
I honestly don't know if the JRE has anything to do with it... I'm using 1.7 ....to see what JRE you're using, open the Java Control Panel (I right click my java orange icon and hit properties), select the Java tab, then hit "View..."

HT201071 When will the Sony DSC RX10 be supported?

The Sony DSC RX10 has been available for many months now. When will RAW support for Aperture be available?

I don't mean this to be a smart type answer, but you can try asking Sony. When Sony provides the information to Apple, Apple will release it.

When will LR - have 5.4 now - support Panasonic DMC-GH4... need ASAP Please

When will Adobe Lightroom have support for the Panasonic DMC-GH4. Really need it bad, and looking over the net I see I'm not alone in the NEED. Thanks!

There is already a Photoshop ACR 8.5 plug-in public release-candidate (RC) that supports the GH4 preliminarily, meaning something might change before the final release.
That RC expires the end of July, so that would be a good indication that LR would support it before then, too, since the final ACR plug-in and final corresponding LR are usually released at the same time.
In the past there has been a LR RC and a ACR plug-in RC available about the same time. However for LR 5.4, with the addition of LR mobile that Adobe didn’t want to give away anything about, they didn’t release a beta LR, and it looks like that may happen again, since the RC for ACR plug-in has come out, but no RC for LR.
The other thing to consider, is that there is a CC 2014 Live Event on June 18, less than a week from now, that may unveil something that affects the timing of the next PS-CC/ACR and/or LR. I don’t know so I’m just speculating. Here is an article about the announcement:
http://prodesigntools.com/new-adobe-cc-2014-release.html
In other words, Adobe does support the camera internally and it’s just a question of release timing due to product interdependencies and marketing schedules.

When will Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 support be added?

Per Qualcomm's website the Snapdragon 801 CPU the Verizon S5 is equipped with supports Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0, which gives the phone the same quick recharge capability as the Droid Turbo. However in my own testing, QC2.0 doesn't work with the Verizon S5. When will this support be added?

jdrch,
We want you to take full advantage of the features of this device. The feature you are mentioning is something that we currently do not support. I would reach out to Qualcomm for any further information about their claims. Samsung, the manufacturer of this device, may also be a resource you may want to explore.

When will Adobe release the update to support Nikon Df raw/NEF file?

when will Adobe release the Lightroom update to support Nikon Df raw/NEF file?

In the mean time, or if it doesn't make it into LR 5.3 and you like techy stuff, see http://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/52616096 for how to patch the exif of Df NEFs to look like D4 NEFs, as the presumption is that the sensor is identical.
Warning: take note of the advice in that thread to make backups of your NEFs first. Second warning: read the whole thread. In the first post he says Exiftool when he means Exifchanger.

When will Ipod touch get iPhone apps

ive got my ipod touch, but its missing major iphone apps like, calander, notes and maps.
I know these are availiable with the jailbreak thing, but i know sdk will be coming out in feb. will this finnally allow us to get those major iphone apps which would be very helpful to us itouch users.
any other info would be helpful thanks.

No one here really is going to know the answer to that. The SDK being released doesn't mean that the Touch will get the official iPhone apps. It means that third party developers will be able to creat apps. They will probably fill some of the same niches but beyond that, we'll just have to wait and see.

Reinstalling tiger without losing apps, documents, mail etc

Hi,
I wish to reinstall my tiger operating system on my powerbook g12, I have all the installer discs etc, and wondered if there was a way I could do this so I could save all the settings Basically I bought this computer for my G/friend, subsequently she doesn't use it anymore having bought a mac book, so I want to change the main user id etc, and apparently the only way you can do this is by reinstalling the system...which i'm prepared to do, however i wanted to preserve all the mail, applications and documents...is their an option for doing this?
thank you

Which data did you transfer for the Mail.app?
You need a copy of the Mail folder at Home > Library > Mail and a copy of the Mail.app preference file at Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.mail.plist.
The Mail.app preference file stores all account information and general Mail.app settings and is required along with the Mail folder when moving all Mail.app data from one login account to another or from one Mac to another and the Mail.app should be quit when doing so.
Sounds like you transferred the Mail folder only but doing so will not mess up the operating system.
If all you need to do is transfer Mail.app data and documents, this should be fairly easy and straightforward and nothing needs to be done with existing applications this way.
Re-installing OS X via an Archive & Install will do what you want but this will re-create your girlfriend's login account and you will be right back where you started.
Your only other option is backing up all data and performing an Erase & Install which will require re-installing all 3rd party applications and re-installing all available OS X, Security and Apple application updates, etc and then restoring all data from the backup.
My first suggestion is the easiest by far IMO.

When will there be Nikon D4s RAW Support

?

She has forked out £5K for the Nikon D4s (which has been pointed out has RAW support from Adobe) but she uses Aperture which doesn't. So a £5k camera is sitting idle because Apple don't support it.
Is this right? You tell me.
I am sure, Apple is working on the raw support for a new flagship professional Nikon camera. They can only start to work on the raw support, after the camera has been released, so it usually takes a few months, i.e., when the camera differs considerably from the predecessor.
Your client has several options, while waiting:
Shoot raw&jpeg and use the jpegs as original files, until the raw support will be available; later she can switch to the raw originals.
Use the software that came with the camera to develope the raw and convert them to another lossless format, e.g.TIFF.
Work with Nikon's software for the time being.

When will Photoshop Touch be updated to support the new iPad (3)?

Since the screen is now greater than HD and the camera has just been enhanced to 5 MP, PS Touch should be updated to support pictures larger than 1600 x 1600 as quickly as possible as well as adding direct support for the Retina screen. Otherwise it will look fuzzy and seem underpowered for the device going forward. Any estimate on what date this much-needed update will be released?

Hi Plossi,
I don't have an iPad3 myself but I have heard from others that PS Touch looks and runs great on it. Adobe will continue to release updates to PS Touch to make the app better and take advantage of the latest hardware (including iPad3). It's not possible to provide dates around any future releases though. Larger image support is a very common request. Please add your vote here is you haven't already.

When will new version 4.0.1 support Norton? Everytime new version is issued, it never supports Norton and we're never notified when it does!!

Everyone has some version of spyware, malware, anti spam protection....mine is Norton 360. Every time new version of Firefox comes out, we're told it doesn't support Norton and we're never notified when this will be rectified. Why is this?

To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data. See https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+Firefox
You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles
