View 1 RepliesI -honestly- installed an illegal copy of iLife '08 just before the '09 came out, to try it. However, about 1 week later -or so- I bought the real thing (Legal copies of iLife & iWork).
Problem is:
when I tried installing the new version, it actually updated the older version, and the illegal copy serial number is still the registration number after-all!
Is there a way to solve this & go completely legal without loosing any of my files? (especially iPhoto)?
i couldn't find any answers on any other sites so i thought i would turn to the experts!
i have a brand new 13" unibody macbook (2.0gHz, 2GB DDR3 RAM, and 160GB HD) bought from apple around new years.
anyways i am about to perform some upgrades (crucial RAM to 4GB, and a 320GB or 500GB hard drive update).. and i have a question reguarding the OS X EULA statements.
Sorry for this silly question, bit I read a lot of threads where the point is to clone a HD to one another. When doing so, with the applications installed, does it mean that the copy is fully functional, applications are copied and run despite protection codes, etc.. ?? It means that everyone can clone its applications on someone else HD and up and running ?

This exists on Windows but I am struggling to find a way to do it on a Mac OS X ?
I deleted the "hidden" private folder on my mac, but that still on trash. Now the big problems are:
- when I try to open Terminal to move the folder from the trash to my hard disk, appears a message that says: the administrator doesn't specified your shell with a legal value.
- I can't change the date and time;
- well almost nothing.

I was wondering IF someone does has this printer, are you able to printer on legal paper & how were you able to?
What rights I acquire along with song bought in iTunes? Can't find a strictly formulated legal agreement anywhere.

Apple MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.6.5)
I recently bought a 17-inch iMac from eBay for a sweet price, it's here now, in literraly new condition. It had Leopard on it, and I wanted to wipe it, and reinstall OSX using my Macbook Pro's Tiger Disc. Wait, isn't that illegal? No. I had Tiger on my Mac, upgraded it to Leopard. Now the Tiger disc is no longer used on the computer. Unfortunately unnoticed by me the Tiger disc was a Macbook Pro install disc. So I had recently upgraded my Macbook Pro to Snow Leopard. Now, the thing was, the Tiger disc and the Leopard upgrade disc was freed up from binding to my Macbook Pro. The iMac came, I wiped it's hard drive using the Macbook Pro Tiger Disc. Whoopsie. I tried installing Tiger on the iMac. No juice. I then learned that that tiger disc was limited to use for the Macbook Pro. So then I pulled out the Snow Leopard disc (Single License), and I 'm installing it on the iMac. This is not legal.

Just a bunch of images and some audio.
When I export via File > Export > Quicktime Movie..., the cross dissolves between images disappear when I watch the movie in Quicktime.

I am using an old iMac g3 or whatever it is, and ive downloaded some programs and when i try to open them, it bounces on the dock and them shrinks and goes away. It has done that with Teamspeak and Mumble which are voice chat programs. Is it not supported? If it werent wouldnt it say it in a message like with another program I downloaded? I am using mac osx version 10.4.11.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am currently running 10.4 on my MBP, but due to work, it appears I am forced to upgrade to 10.5 at least, so that I can use some software that is integral to my job. I already have a CPU drop in DVD, so I'm assuming it should be a pretty easy upgrade. I'm planning to do it tonight. Will all of my old 10.4 Apps run on 10.5, or will I need to install 10.5 and then update all my apps? I'm really hoping they will work as is, because I have a huge amount of apps and really don't want to have to update them before they will work again. If anyone can answer my question, or has any tips, tricks, advice, etc.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI recently moved to Mac after a long time with Windows so the application and file structure is taking some time to get used to.
I installed Adobe Photoshop into my Applications folder. It created an "Adobe Photoshop" folder containing a shortcut to Photoshop plus a bunch of other folders for plugins, presets, scripts, etc.
I don't want to go into the folder each time I want to open Photoshop, so I tried to move the program from that folder into the main Applications folder, but that did not work (the package would not open). So my question is ... on Windows, I could just create a shortcut to Photoshop and place it in any folder I liked. Is there some way to do that on a Mac? I just want to create a target to Photoshop in my main Applications folder and then hide all the associated folders and files instead of having to access the folder itself from the Applications folder. But I still want those folders accessible from a Finder window.
I have had an iPhone 3G since February 2009. I have not been much of a fan of it, especially over the past summer when the iOS 4.0 update came out. Much of that has been fixed with iOS 4.1.
I am starting to think about getting another phone, and I am hesitant to get an iPhone 4 after the 3G. I am also extremely hesitant to get a smartphone from another maker (WebOS 2.0), but I invested a lot in the past 3-4 years into iTunes with my iPhone and iPod. I have a huge collection in iTunes (40GB+), so I am chained to it.
How can I get a 3rd party smartphone work with iTunes, or atleast be able to pull my collection with a 3rd party software package to sync with my collection or sync with iTunes. I have a Macbook, and use OS X 10.6.4.
I downloaded Geekbench a couple times now but I can't get it to work. Every time i open it it just makes another copy of Geekbench without doing anything else.

It'll just say "Sign in failed because the password is incorrect or the sign-in name does not exist. If you have forgotten... blah" I know the password and everything is correct since I can sign in on my windows computer. I've tried using another account and it doesn't work either. I would use Adium but I really dislike the style along with many 3rd party clients. I had MSN 6 installed and that worked fine.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI thought it might be useful to compile a list of apps we know won't work on Leopard (in case there are any mission-critical apps people need that won't work) and details of when updates are due (if known). The list so far is on MacRumors Guides here. add further updates there as well as posting in the thread (preferably if you have confirmed directly with the developer regarding compatibility and an expected fix date, if any).
View 24 Replies View RelatedI'm having some problems running a few apps on my Air. Firstly, Schoolhouse [URL:...] whenever I try to add a new term I get the color wheel and have to force quit. The second is XCode. Opens fine, but as soon as I try to open an existing project I get the perma-color wheel and have to force quit. I use to run both of these apps fine on a 10.5.1 MB, so I'm not sure if it's 10.5.2 that's done this, or if it's the Air.
View 2 Replies View RelatedNot quite sure where to post this, but I have a .wmv movie file which doesn't properly play in either QuickTime and VLC player. QuickTime plays the movie with no video, only emitting the sound, while VLC plays the video and not the sound. I've tried using VisualHub to convert the .wmv to .mp4 for iTunes. I synched the file to iTunes and it only plays the video.
PS: By the way, what applications out there allows me to extract/record the song from the movie file without losing audio quality?
I installed Windows 7 on a Mac mini, 4 GB ram, with a 2GHz intel core 2 duo processor. I set up the partition, formatted it (The size was around 35 gb) and installed windows. I got on, and tried to play games (The reason for windows) but none of them will start.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to use the stack overlays from: http://t.ecksdee.org/post/19001860
But I can't get them working. Apparently the overlays are set to a date, so they always will appear in front. But they don't on my Mac. When I drag them over they will appear in front, but when a newer item is placed in the same folder, as the stack overlay, the overlay will just go up in the "stack hierarchy"
The commands:
cd ~/Downloads
touch -mt 202001010101.01 " Downloads "
Don't work either. So why can't I get it working?
I have a G5 that was on 10.5.5. Then went back to 10.4 by doing an "Archive and Install" from a 10.4 install DVD (the one that one buys from Apple & is good for all computers). But now my applications will not work properly. My CS3 apps have reverted back to trial versions. FCP won't open. Disk Utilities says this version of OS doesn't support it.
View 1 Replies View RelatedEvidently through automatic upgrades my iTunes has upgraded itself to version 7.7.1 - I just tried to open it and got a pop up window telling me that in order to use iTunes I need OS 10.4.9 (I have 10.4.6). How could it have downloaded for an OS that it won't work with? I don't feel like shelling out the bucks for the OS upgrade, and when I tried to install an older version of iTunes, I got another pop up window telling me I couldn't because a newer version was already installed. I'm afraid that if I dump the newer one I'll lose all my tunes.

I have the latest updates and have done a few uninstall/install cycles + usual mac stuff (delete preferences, repair permissions) but to no avail. How does it work for you ? When I used the 2004 version it run much smoother. I could switch back, but while Office 2004 came from "unknown" sources I have a legal purchased copy of Office 2008 which I'd like to use.
