Will OSX 10.8 support splitting the HD in order to also run 10.6.8?

I am running an iMac and have just upgraded to OSX 10.8 from 10.6.8. Now I have notices saying some programs are unsupported. I want to partition the hard drive so that I can run the older apps in 10.6.8. Is this possible?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Of course. You just have to use Disk Utility (in /Applications/Utilities) to create a second partition formatted in "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU3.html
After doing that, insert the Snow Leopard DVD, hold the C key while your Mac is starting and point the installer to install Snow Leopard onto the second partition. After installing it, open  > Software Update, and install the most recent version. If you need to run PowerPC applications, you can select Rosetta as an optional install.
Doing this, your Mac will start up by default in Snow Leopard. If you want to start in Mountain Lion by default, open System Preferences > Startup Disk, and select the Mountain Lion partition.
You can also install Snow Leopard Server onto a virtual machine by purchasing it by phone, but it's not recommended if you need the best performance. Also, you will have to spend more money and it will slow down Mountain Lion if you haven't got enough memory

I just checked my BIOS and my current setting is set at IDE although it also mentions that the default should be AHCI. Currently I have a dual boot of Windows 7 (need it for Tax software) and Arch
So I guess, when I get the new HDD, I will first set it to AHCI and then install the OSes on it. See if NCQ helps any, and if not I will turn it back and re-install (if I have to). I am planning to have Windows only in virtualbox in the new drive.
Anyhoo, while I was in the BIOS I found two things which I had questions about :
1) Under Onboard Devices --> Integrated NIC , my setting is currently set at "On w/PXE" and it says the default should be just "On". Would it be ok to change it back to On since its a single machine and its not booting an OS on any server. I just don't want to have to re-install anything now since I will be doing that in the new HDD.
2) How would I know whether my BIOS would support a 64 bit OS in Virtualbox? I checked some setting under Virtualization, but they weren't very clear.
I will edit this post and let you know exactly what settings were present under the Virtualization sub-section.

Hi there, when will there be a support for the Olympus PEN E-PL7?

Hi there, when will there be a support for the Olympus PEN E-PL7?

It is on our radar and hoping to add it in an upcoming update.
As soon as it is available, it will be updated in the below article. Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras

Latest update returns error " None of the selected updates could be installed. The update could not be expanded, and may have been corrupted during downloading. The update will be downloaded and checked again the next time that Software Update runs."

Which latest update? Details get answers. Rather than using SU, DL and install from http://support.apple.com/downloads/.

Can't download the latest iTunes. A window pops up... The update could not be verified. It may have been corrupted or tampered with during downloading. The update will be downloaded and checked again the next time that Software Update runs. No iTunes now.

Now, iTunes won't launch and can't be updated. Please help.
If I have lost my music collection I will be switching platforms ASAP. It is insane that Apple has updates seemingly every day for their products.

I was in your same situation with 14 downloads and 14 attempts.
You have to make sure that your Mac is booting into 64 bit mode. You can make sure of this by going into System Preferences and scrolling down to 'Software' and making sure that you are booding with 64 bit Kexts.
If not, restart while holding the 6 and 4 keys down until you see the spinning gear wheel and try installng again.
BUT, what I also did was to go into Applications, click on the Lion installer, Get Info, and give yourself custom priviliges to Read And Write.
I did this simultaneously, and I don't know what function did it, but it worked for me, with no further downloads of the installer.
Good luck!

The update could not be verified. It may have been corrupted during downloading. The update will be downloaded and checked again the next time that Software Update runs.

How can I solve this? Every time I have the option to update an application I receive the same notification: "The update could not be verified. It may have been corrupted during downloading. The update will be downloaded and checked again the next time that Software Update runs"

Can we eliminate one minor possibility: are you in the UK and using Virgin Media cable connection? I ask because the latest 'Superhub' firmware is corrupting large downloads for some people.

Will Apple be adding support for the pointer_lock feature in the Safari browser?

Various 3d games online are using WebGL (supported in Safari) but some are using the new "pointer_lock" feature:

We don't know, and speculation is forbidden on the forums. When Apple announces it, then we'll all know.

one thing for sure, you cannot proceed without maintaining proper conditions in the PO.
Why they are not there or not anymore there is probably caused by customizing or vendor master data changes.

Will OSX Mountain Lion support PPC apps?

i'm really looking forward to the release of Mountain Lion, however, as one of the major downsides to the release of Lion was its inability to support PPC apps, i'm wondering if there's been any news as to whether Mountain Lion will re-integrate this...

When will Aperture provide RAW support for the Nikon D4s?

Just got my D4s and can't work with the RAW files in Aperture 3 ... It says 'incompatible file format'...

Wait and see, the currently available raw support is here.
http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html
iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.5)
But even, when the raw supoort for your new camera will have been released, it will probably only be available for you, if you upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.5 and at least Aperture 3.4.5. The most recent Digital Camera Raw Support releases have all been released for these versions only: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1734
Give Apple a little time to do a decent job with the raw support. Your new camera is particularly challenging with the high ISO sensor and the excellent low light sensitivity (ISO 409,600). You will want that the raw support can deal with these new features properly. Last year we have seen quite a few threads with complaints about strange blueish or pink colors on raw images taken in low light for new Nikon and Canon cameras.

Will OSX Lion still support FCP Studio?

With the disaster that FCP X is turning out to be, is there any indication as to whether or not any versions of FCP Studio will still work with OS X Lion? I have a sneaking suspicion that it will not, considering the approach Apple has taken with the FCP X release, but I haven't heard anything definitive yet. I'm hoping Apple will come out with some kind of statement regarding FCP X soon, because the way this release has been handled is absolutely bizzare. If there is no intention of continuing to support the professional community, just say so, and everyone can move on to something else.

It was an upgrade. Lion installs itself through an installer app (not rebooting from a disc), and the only apparent option is to do an upgrade from Snow Leopard.
(Coming from the Linux world, and Windows before that, I used to write off OS upgrades - they almost always produced terrible results. Clean installs were the way to go. But I've been amazed at how well things seem to run after upgrades from Leopard to Snow Leopard and now Snow Leopard to Lion.)
That isn't to say there many not be an option to do a clean install of Lion...if there is, I'll do that when it goes public. But things have run fine having installed it as an upgrade.
That being said, sometimes FCP X is laggier than I would expect on my 2011 13" MBP with a 2.7GHz Core i7...maybe because the graphics are integrated...but I'm hoping it runs better once Lion becomes public and FCPX is optimized for it.

Will Windows 7 via Bootcamp decrease the battery life or speed when running OSX?

I know that when Windows 7 is running my battery life will decrease dramatically, but I am curious is I need to worry about battery life when running OSX, or even the speed of my notebook.
Kyle

No need to worry, Bootcamp is a separate bootable partition and OS X isn't even running, the two operating systems have nothing to do with each other.
Now if you run Windows in OS X using virtual machine software, it's very much possible the extra CPU load could shorten the battery life as your running two operating systems at once and virtual machine software in addition to other software running.
However it's much safer, easier and more convenient than the hassles of Bootcamp and handling malware infections there, as OS X is always in control of the hardware.
Windows in BootCamp or Virtual Machine?

Will there be driver support for the 8600m GT under Windows XP?

Hi!
I would like to run Windows XP on my Santa Rosa Macbook Pro. I know that with Bootcamp 1.3 you get drivers for the 8600m GT - the thing is, that those drivers do not seem to be optimised, for the 3dMark 06-test scores pretty low (no more than 10fps in most tests).
Nvidia does not develop drivers for their mobile graphic cards. So the question is: Will Apple publish XP-drivers for that card in the future?
Or do I have to buy Windows Vista?
And has anyone benchmark-results using Windows XP or Vista respectively?
Thanks in advance!
Macbook Pro 2,2 Mac OS X (10.4.9)
Macbook Pro 2,2 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Thanks for the welcome!
I score about 2.780 points with 3dmark 06. 3dmark 06 didn't seem to recognize the graphics card, by the way.
Ran also Unreal Tournament 2004 and Dungeon Siege. UT 2004 ran better on my old Macbook (Intel Core Duo, 512 MB), Dungeon Siege had 20-60 fps (not impressive at all for such an old game).
So something seems to be wrong... hope it's the drivers and not the hardware.
Greetings!

Will there be raw support for the Canon G10 before CS4?

Not complaining, just asking. I'll upgrade to CS4 eventually, probably sooner if my G10 is not convered in CS3/ACR.
Richard Southworth

Some it is definately that Adobe wants to make you upgrade, they need the
money like all businesses need the money. Anyone that thinks otherwise is
deluding themselves. However, the other part of it too is that with each new
version of Photoshop they add many new features to ACR, not just camera
support but new features. To upgrade the old version of ACR the last one for
CS3 for example they would need to maintain two seperate code bases and that
is a lot of work, that is going to increase the possibility of bugs and
other problems. It is far easier for Adobe to do it once and that is it.
This is why Lightroom and ACR are by and large updated together and why they
share the same code base, they only have invent the wheel once.
Now I am sure there is little reason why Adobe couldn't just make 5.1 work
with CS3. But, that goes back to the whole money thing. I guess you could
say ACR is a privilage and not a right. You earn the privilage to use the
lastest ACR by keeping your updates current.
This time around however, I have to say that Adobe did something that I
approve of very much and that is they release ACR 4.6 for CS3 AFTER CS4
shipped adding support for newer cameras. I would like to see Adobe do this
all of the time. That is do one final ACR update for the previous version of
Photoshop after the new version has shipped. I see this as a sort of thank
you.

Will there be raw support for the Canon G10 before hell freezes over?

I know, patience. Just gripes my soul the P6000 made it and the G10 didn't. Sigh.
