I was wondering if anybody had any info / knowledge on the Rosetta Stone language packages, having just watched Family Guy's moustache episode I feel compelled to learn Italian.
Anyone have any experience with Rosetta Stone Italian packages?
p.s. I am obviously joking about the Family Guy part - although youtube the clip -
oh and why I am here, how come none of my posts include the image I uploaded?
After the WWDC keynote where Apple officially put PPC out to pasture, I began wondering what they would do about PPC software and applications. Specifically, if Apple is now officially supporting only Intel machines with 10.6, would it abandon Rosetta as well, thus requiring all 10.6 users to abandon apps that are not universal binary/Intel only apps?
This becomes an issue for a significant segment of the user base (including me) who still use MS Office for Mac 2004 and do not want to upgrade to 2008 for a variety of reasons including use of macros, VBA, cost, UI preference, etc. If Apple abandons Rosetta, I either have to upgrade to Office 2008 or I cannot install 10.6.
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.???
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.
i just moved to US and I want to keep my italian number on my iPhone.i need to change my payment details as I closed my italian bank account and I opened a US one. it seems is not possible to change credit card's details.
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.
just bought a new MacBook Pro, and I have my 3 kids' profiles on Rosetta Stone on my old iMac that I'd hate to lose. Has anyone found a way to move profile data/progress? My Google Fu has let me down.
OK lame fear - but I fear Quicken will NOT work on Snow leopard (please this is a not I hate quicken thread so don't ask why I cling to it) -
However recently I saw some random text saying that it will work but Rosetta must be installed with 10.6 - I thought Rosetta was just a natural part of the OS 10.5 and is 'just there'- now it is an option? ???
First question does 10.6 support really support Rosetta?
Second question: does anyone know how this will be installed on a fresh 10.6 install (going to buy a New HD just for this install in Sept)?
I had to install Rosetta on Snow Leopard for 24 hours to run 1 program until someone emailed me a fix for our VPN connection. Now I have IPSecuritas working, how do I uninstall Rosetta?
Now that Macs are starting to come with 64-bit kernal enabled by default (new 2010 Mac Pro, Mac Mini Server) how does that affect running applications that need Rosetta, such as MS Office 2004?
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.
I need to use Rosetta in iMovie for my Chroma Key plugin from Cf/x to work, but when I go to Get info, there is no box I can check for Rosetta, in fact, I can't seem to find anything about Rosetta on my computer. I need Chroma Key for a video this weekend.
I have a lot of important Data from my old Power Mac (Power Mac 7300/180) that I would like to be able to run using Rosetta. The major Applications I would like to run are MacWrite Pro & Microsoft Works Vers. #4.0c. My old Power Mac was running OS 9.1 I have the original install Floppies for MacWrite & Microsoft Works. (they would have to be copied unto a CD for me to be able to install them on my Intel Mac. (no floppy drive on the Intel Mac)
Assuming I could get copies of the old Applications on a CD & then install them on my Intel Mac would they run under Rosetta & be able to open my old Data files? I am definitely not well informed about the capabilities of Rosetta. I installed Rosetta on my Intel Mac when I upgraded to Snow Leopard.
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?
i'm using a macbook pro9. osX Tiger 10.4.11 i started using rosetta stone's typing feature about half an hour ago. Now my top row and my number row are not working properly.
Her's what comes out
q1 w2 e3 r4 t5 y6 u7 i8 o9 for the keys q,w,e,r,t,y,u,i,o as well as the 1-9 keys.
I need help locating Rosetta so my new Okilaser B431d will work. The DVD, which came with my new computer, is back in Nebraksa and I'm in Colorado for the summer. I found where is says if I can access the Internet (and I can) to click on Rosetta and I will be taken to where I can do just that. Except that the word Rosetta is not a link to anywhere.I have an Intel based IMac running OS X 10.7.4?

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.Â
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."Â
How do you get a copy of Rosetta to install on 10.6.8? I have a power pc software program and need to install. Rosetta does not automatically install from the Apple servers. Is Apple discontinuing Rosetta support?
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.Â
I tested the microphone in garage band and I don't hear my voice normaly unless I start shouting out loud.Â
Or maybe the built-in microphone is too old and it's not working as good as it was before ?Â

I'm trying to install my Rosetta Stone v3 Application CD that worked on my old macbook to my brand new macbook intel core i7 and receive:Â Fatal Application Error #2111 Error #2032 Exit the Application?
