I downloaded the recent software update Mountain Lion and now my microsoft word, powerpoint, etc. are no longer supported. Why is this? What can I do?
Depending upon how extensive your library of legacy Microsoft Office data files are, you may want to consider continuing to use Microsoft Office 2004.
Microsoft Office's 2011 version is compatible with Lion and presumably either works with Mountain Lion or an update will make it so. The problem with this approach is that Office 2011 will "convert" your earlier data files and there lies the rub! For example, I have the need to weekly open a chart created in Excel 2004, but Excel 2011 trashes the chart in its "conversion."
So I have approached the overall problem differently.
The reason your applications do not work in Mountain Lion is that they were written for the older PowerPC CPU that all Macs used up to 2006. When Apple made its transition to the Intel CPU, they licensed software that they included in all versions of OS X (from Tiger to Leopard and optionally, Snow Leopard) called Rosetta.
Rosetta miraculously allows PowerPC applications to work on the Intel processor transparently; you do not know it is even present.
The problem is that after 6 years of the transition, Apple's license to use the underlying software expired for OS X Lion and all version thereafter (and it is doubtful that the current owner of the software, IBM, would relicense it, even if Apple were inclined to do so).
So for those of use that need to run Lion, I have offered the option to install Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels 7:

And now Mountain Lion:
Full Snow Leopard installation instructions into Parallels 7 are here:

Snow Leopard is $29 and Parallels 7 is $79 retail (cheaper from competitive sources) and Parallels offers a 14 day free trial of Parallels 7 on their website:

Hi, I just tried to open Word and this message appeared - 'You can't open the application Microsoft Word because PowerPC applications are no longer supported.' I just recently loaded OS X Lion does this mean my software for MS Office is now out of date? Do I have to purchase a new package? Any help appreciated.
Hello:
Office 2004 was written for the PowerPC chip only. There is no emulation in OS X 10.7.
I encountered the same issue sometime ago when I updated to OS X 10.7.
There is one option that I might mention (other than buy Office 2011). I switched to Apple's iWork. Pages (the word processing package) is completely compatible with Word. If you export Pages documents, you can export them in formats compatible with Microsoft programs. iWork also contains programs that are compatible with Office presentation and spreadsheet packages.
The reason I mention this is that the cost is about 1/2 of the cost of Office.

Unsolicited ad inserted behind main browser window (pop-under)
Unsolicited ad inserted behind main browser window (pop-under) every time TheBlaze.com is visited.
ENVIRONMENT
Win7 SP1
Firefox 34.0 (Pop-up windows are blocked)
DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM
Once the requested home page, from theBlaze.com server, is received by Firefox on your PC, your first mouse click will trigger the pop-under creation process. Pop-under ads are similar to pop-up ads, but the ad window appears hidden behind the main browser window rather than superimposed in front of it. The ad window is located in a new copy of Firefox. Additional mouse clicks may produce cumulative pop-under ad window creations. So, you may end up with multiple pop-under ad windows, each in a new copy of Firefox. According to many marketing “genius” this method of presenting unsolicited ads is much less abrasive than pop-ups used to be, and now recommend the use of pop-unders.
The HTML source file received from TheBlaze.com server contains (in clear) between line 158 and line 202 , the JavaScript code needed to generate the pop-under windows and also contain the URL of the advertiser.
Line numbers may vary from user to user, but look in the source file and locate the beginning and the end of the script at:
BEGIN ADSUPPLY →
the script is located here (approx 44 lines of code)
<!-- END ADSUPPLY →
The fact that the advertiser URL is contained in the source file indicates that, this is a well organized advertizing business. In the examined case the advertiser was "gorgonkil.com".
SOLUTIONS TO STOP POP-UNDERS
This pop-under unsolicited ad plague can originate from any Web site, not only from TheBlaze.com. This is not hidden malware, but highly visible in the HTML page received from the unscrupulous Web site. Be aware that using the “block pop-up windows” parameter in Firefox > Tools > Options > Content > will not solve this problem.
InternetExplorer 11 also falls victim of the pop-under unsolicited ads. SlimBrowser7 survives elegantly and no pop-under windows are opened.
In the proposed 2 solutions, you will need to receive a first unsolicited ad, then take note of the advertiser URL and insert it in the Win7 Firewall or in the BlockSite Firefox extension.
If the unscrupulous Web site sends a large number of new and different advertiser URLs during one browsing session, then you will need to find a more elegant solution to the problem.
WIN7 Firewall
The received ad normally contains the advertiser URL (e.g. gorgonkil.com).
The Win7 firewall has the capability to block IP addresses.
The fact that Win7 Firewall requires IP addresses be expressed in dotted-decimal notation (e.g. 172.16.254.1) makes it less attractive. But, should you decide to use the dotted-decimal notation, it should work perfectly
Block Site 1.1.8 Firefox extension
Install Firefox extension “Block Site 1.1.8”. It is working very well for me.
You need to go to Block Site “Options” and “add” the URL (e.g. gorgonkil.com) you want to block.
Once enabled, the Block Site extension will display a small window for 3-4 seconds (lower right position) every time a pop-under creation is attempted by any unscrupulous offender and the pop-under will not be created.
My own “Options” file now contains more then 18 advertiser URLs (over 3-4 months).
I have stopped visiting TheBlaze.com Web site as of yesterday.
WEB SITE REPUTATION & REVIEW SERVICE
You may obtain a reputation rating for many Web sites by installing a Fiirefox extension: Web of Trust - WOT
WOT adds intuitive traffic light-style icons next to search results and URLs to help you make informed decisions about whether to visit a site or not.
A review has been submitted to WOT (12-19-2014) pertaining to TheBlaze.com. The rating is in bright red “I don't trust” (Ads/Pop-ups).
deBeaujeuSometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.

How to use a specific windows software on Mac
Hi all,
I have (and love) a new Macbook Air, having switched from years of PC use.
Ran into a hiccup as I do a few hours of teaching a week though a company called Talkbean (http://tutor.talkbean.com/displayEng.do?cmd=siteMain) and they have specific software I have downloaded....which I now find it only compatible with windows.
I've read through other topics and see that using boot camp (and other programs) I could also run windows on my MBA....but I'd prefer not to do that if I can avoidit - I don't need anything else other than this piece of software a few hours a week. Also don't fancy purchasing windows after just forking out for a new laptop!
The likes of Crossover and Virtual box look more appealing, but seem to be aimed at gaming (maybe I'm wrong!) and unsurprisingly the software I need is not on their lists. I'm struggling to figure it out myself. Would one of these programs be suitable for using this piece of software?
Any help at all sooo much appreciated!CrossOver is a program that lets you run some Windows software withhout installing Windows. The emphasis is on some. At their website Crossover rates the supported software on a scale from Bronze to Gold - if the program you need to run is supported at the Gold standard you will probably be okay. Silver and Bronze ratings means the rated Windows software will run but with glitches or even missing functionality. (Silver being better support than Bronze, obviously.)
Virtualization solutions such as VirtualBox (or the more capable and feature laden Parallels Desktop and VMWare Fusion) let you install another operating system (and software) to use at the same time as you use your Mac software. It is a nifty solution and while virtualization isn't quite as fast as running an OS totally native (BootCamp) the speed hit isn't all that significant and affects graphics rendering more than anything else.
I'm an IT instructor and software trainer and about 80% of this work involves Windows software. I do it using a Mac computer running Windows in Parallels Desktop. If it weren't for the Apple logo on my notebook no one would know I'm using a Mac - and the notebook in virtualization feels faster than the cheap Dell computers we use. -
Help. I just updated my iPhone and iPad software to IOS 5. Now my iPad isn't connecting to my WiFi. It "sees" it, and the network name even shows up under WiFi, but it's like it just keeps grinding and grinding. Sometimes it will let me click on the network and see the IP address. When I can see it, the address on my iPad is different from the one showing up on my desktop, but I can't figure out how to change it on my iPad. Any suggestions to get me hooked back into my wireless network?
If the problem persists after you reboot as suggested by Ralph:
Trouble connecting usually means interference, or another WiFi on the same channel.
If you have any cordless phones, keyboards, or cameras, check what frequency they use.
From a MAC or Windows machine you can see what channel each of the available networks are using. Make sure your network is on a channel nobody else nearby is also using. -
Hey everyone,
I want to install windows 8 32bit on my mac pro (mid 2012). I upgraded the windows 7 I already had, but now I dont have drivers at all...
I searched drivers for the windows 8 32 bit but couldn't find any...
Any solutions guys?
Thanks a lot.
Sincerely,
ChiponnThere's been an update for OSX ML which addresses the issue for installing Windows 8 on bootcamp.
It's NOT recommended that you Upgrade.. However, the way to get the drivers is:
You'll need an external USB drive formatted as FAT for this.
1) In OSX, start the Bootcamp Assistant
2) Press Next
3) UNTICK 'Remove WIndows 7 or Later Version'
4) TICK Download the Latest Windows Support Software from Apple
5) Insert USB drive
6) Press CONTINUE
The drivers should download, and copy a WIndowsSupport folder onto the USB drive.
I did notice that Windows 8 still requires beta drivers for some aspects such as VGA (the Radio HD Card), which you can get on the AMD website.
Futhermore, why are you using Windows 8 "32" bit when you blatently have a powerful 64bit?
Anyway, hope this post helps ;-) -

But even thats not certain.Depends on what you're going to do with the device at that point. UFS on Solaris also does not support volumes 1TB or larger. So you'd have to use it as a raw slice space or a filesystem that did support larger sizes.
You need later versions of Solaris 9 to get mutli-terabyte UFS support. (a separate issue from multi-terabyte LUN support).

How to install windows softwares?
i am using Sun solaris and i want to install an application (Easy Wireless manager) to connect my system to Panasonic projector via LAN.
is there any compatibly pack to install windows software on Sun system?
Please help me its urgent.You might think of using Google for this question.
One possibility is <tt>Wine</tt>:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wine_%28software%29
http://www.winehq.org/
Keep in mind that the latest stable version of it is from early 2012 and you may have to learn to compile your own working version of it before it is a functional tool. In any case you get no help with it here in the OTN forums. There are Wine forums all over the Internet.
Please help me its urgent.For the future, you need to remember that there is no "urgent" here. These forums are for the end-user community to assist one another.
