Applications :: Learning A New Language With Rosetta Stone?

Feb 28, 2010

I read a lot about this application.

And I am wondering? Does anyone really learned a new language using such software?

Is it worth to try it or better go to more traditional practices (realtime classes etc)?

It would be nice to learn a new language with your own pace and at your own time but will it work at last?

Is it worth to spend money and time using this application or it is difficult to learn a new language depending only on this as a basic tutor?

Applications :: Rosetta Stone Freezes At Installing Updates?

Apr 26, 2009

I was using Rosetta Stone without a problem for over a month. Now when i try to start it up it freezes with the screen saying "Installing Updates". In the Console I get this message

"Rosetta Stone[73642] Warning once: This application, or a library it uses, is using

NSQuickDrawView, which has been deprecated. Apps should cease use of QuickDraw and move to Quartz."

I tried to repair permissions but it changed nothing.

OS X :: Using Rosetta Stone Without A Cd Inserted?

Apr 8, 2010

I use Rosetta Stone v2 in my macbook laptop. This software requires that the language cd be inserted in the optical drive. Without the cd inserted if will not work (anti piracy?) . My macbook optical drive recently broke. It ejects everything that is inserted. Question: Is there to install the language files in the macbook (disk image?) so that Rosetta Stone thinks that the cd is inserted? I tried to copy the files into a flash drive but got a dialog box saying that some files could not by copied. I rarely use the optical drive and don't want to repair/replace it just for this program.

OS X :: How To Fix Rosetta Stone Error 1117

Oct 12, 2010

When I open RS, it says "error 1117, and error has occurred in the speech component" and then says something about restarting the program.

Error 1117 apparently means that the program won't communicate with my computer, even though I don't operate a personal firewall. It can't detect the USB headset, so the headset cannot be used.

I've looked all over the place for the answer, but there's only a solution for PC users. What can I do about this?

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Rosetta Stone Stalls When Opening?

Apr 6, 2012

I am running on OSX 10.7.3 on my iMac 3.2 GHz Intel Core i3. I recently logged in as the Root User to change my user name, following instructions on Apple's support site. Everything went fine and all files mapped over correctly. When I went to run my Rosetta Stone Totale, Adobe Air promted for an update, which I did. Now when I try to run Rosetta Stone it opens the first window, then stalls on the gray screen. Comand-Option-Escape does not say that the application is not responding. 

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Air, but the problem persists. I saw a discussion in another thread about opening Console and seeing what errors were showing. When I did so, I get this every time I try to open RST: "4/6/12 12:07:03.737 PM RosettaStoneDaemon: This process is attempting to exclude an item from Time Machine by path without administrator privileges. This is not supported." 

Info:
iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.3)

MacBook :: Built-in Microphone Volume Is Too Low For Skype And Rosetta Stone?

Apr 26, 2012

I have a hard time with skype conversation and rosetta stone speech recognition. Since I started using Rosetta Stone 3.4.5, People i'm talking with on skype complains that they don't hear me well, everything was fine untill I installed this software. The microphone doesn't emit as much volume as it should be and I believe rosetta stone is responsible for the differences in output volume. 

I tested the microphone in garage band and I don't hear my voice normaly unless I start shouting out loud. 

Or maybe the built-in microphone is too old and it's not working as good as it was before ? 

My macbook is running on MAC OSX 10.6.8
Processor: 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 duo
Memory: 4 go 1067 MHz DDR 3 

Info:
MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6.8), Skype, Rosetta Stone

Applications :: Learning Guitar On GarageBand?

Jul 25, 2010

I admit I have never really touched a real guitar in my life (obviously a Rock Band guitar does not count). But since I just got my new 27" iMac, I came to the realization that learning guitar with GarageBand might actually be pretty interesting.

So, what is the minimum buying requirements in order to start learning guitar when you are starting with nothing (other than GarageBand itself, of course).

Here is what I think I need at a minimum, but I want to make sure:
Acoustic Electric OR Electric guitar. A regular acoustic guitar won't work because it does not have a line output (is that correct?).

I have seen some acoustic electric guitars on eBay for less than $100. What do I need to make sure the Guitar comes with before buying? [By the way, I have my eye on one acoustic electric guitar that comes with an Active Pickup ... is active pickup necessary?]
1/4" to 1/8" adapater

Here are some extras that might be nice for better tone, but are not required:
USB or Firewire Audio Interface. I think I have seen I can get one of these for $50-$100
A microphone to connect to the audio interface
An amplifier

I was thinking of starting with the minimum requirements (assuming what I listed is the minimum) and if I decide I enjoy this, go for the extras I listed.

Do I have this all correct?

Software :: Rosetta Stopped Working - How Can I Repair Or Reinstall Rosetta?

Dec 17, 2008

On my MacBookPro, 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo, 1.5 GB RAM, Mac OS X 10.4.11, all rosetta emulated applications as Apple Works 6, Toast 6, Microsoft Office 2004, PhotoshopElements 3 and so on, suddenly have stopped working. A short flash of the program symbols ist all I get when I try starting one of them. Everything has been fine for the last three years!Before that, I noticed that I could not install the Security Update 2008-007 Intel, no matter if by software update or manually (for the download version I get only an error notice that the checksum failed, when I try to activate the .dmg). Other Apple software updates were installed without any problems.How can I repair or reinstall Rosetta (obviously has to do with that, or not?) without a complete reinstall of Mac OS X 10.4.???

Applications :: Software Having Learning Curve For Potential Accounting Employees?

Mar 11, 2009

We've been running Clients & Profits for the longest time in our Mac-only office. Frankly it sucks, and we are looking toward something with less of a learning curve for potential accounting employees whose experience mostly seems to center around Quickbooks. Looking at Quickbooks for Mac, it is clearly not the same thing and I don't think it suits our needs. We need something where all users can access the database and add time, create POs and invoices, etc, but at the same time isn't foreign to someone trained in Quickbooks. Does this exist??

Applications :: Using Final Cut Pro V5.1.4 And Rosetta

Nov 6, 2009

I recently installed Final Cut Pro v5.1.4 on my intel MacBook Pro but when I clicked on the mpkg file to install I was given a message telling me that Rosetta needs to be installed to open the Final Cut Pro.mpkg file.

I downloaded and installed Rosetta then Final Cut Pro v5.1.4. What is bugging me is that if Final Cut Pro v5.1.4 is now intel supported why did it ask me to install Rosetta to open the Final Cut Pro.mpkg file? When I use Final Cut Pro v5.1.4 does it still run under PPC emulation through Rosetta even though I have read that it is now intel supported?

I would buy the Final Cut Studio 7 but I am a bit short of cash at the moment and was needing videos edited for a friend.

MacBook Air :: Learning To Program For IOS Using Xcode

Oct 30, 2010

I currently need a laptop of some sort but have a very fast PC desktop for my heavy lifting, PC gaming, photoshop, etc. I am also interested in learning to program for iOS using Xcode, and I don't want to go the hackintosh route. Since I have a desktop, my general usage for this laptop would be very light, i.e. web browsing, email, tweetdeck, iTunes, light Microsoft Office use, etc. I am just wondering if these models would be good enough for Xcode? Would the 11" model be sufficient?

(I could plug into one of my PC's external monitors for more screen real estate). I guess I mainly ask that question from a processor standpoint (1.4 versus the 1.86 in the 13"). 2GB versus 4GB RAM? Again, this would be used very casually other than learning programming on Xcode. Before the Airs were released I was considering a base 13" pro. The only benefit I see in the 13" pro at this point is a backlit keyboard and cheaper than the 13" air. (Apple Store has the 13" pro refurb for $1020 right now).

Applications :: Change Language Of ITunes Without Affecting Other Applications

Dec 23, 2009

I recently adjusted International in my System Preferences to British English so that I wouldn't keep getting prompts to spell in the US fashion.

However, I preferred the US version of iTunes with Movies/TV Shows instead of Films/TV Programmes and Seasons instead of Series.

Is there any way to change iTunes without affecting anything else?

Software :: Logic Express 9 Re-Install / Get Back Original Demo Project As Learning Tool?

Oct 26, 2010

i've been using Logic Express 9 for a few months now and started today messing about with the included demo project "The Numbers Game".Unfortunately, I accidentally hit save on a change and now have fundamentally affected the demo.

If I do a re-install of Logic Express 9 will this wipe out or affect my other projects in any way? I really don't want to lose any of the work I've done so far, but would really like to have back the original demo project as a learning tool.

Applications :: Multilingual Language Preferences?

Jul 3, 2010

I was wondering if there are ways to split the preferences of Language and Text on Macs. I'm operating on Snow Leopard and I was hoping to have situations where I can isolate certain applications to certain languages.

I.e. - Open web browser in (region + language settings = Japan/Japanese) while at the same time I could also be working on my word processor in Italiano (region + language settings = Italy/Italian).

Is there any application for this? Mainly in helping to split language preferences for alternate applications or maybe even alternate windows in one application.

Software :: Can't Change Language Setting In "Language & Text"?

Nov 21, 2010

Under Language & Text there are 4 tabs:

Language

Text

Formats

Input Sources

I have added a language under the first tab, Language, only to find that there is no correspondingly supported input option under the fourth tab, Input Sources.

I would now like to remove the entry I added under the first tab, Langauge, but cannot figure out how to do this. I have tried highlighting and pressing delete, dragging it out of the window, etc., but so far nothing works.
