System Prefs acting up...

[phishndave]

Hey all so when apple transferred my old system to the new MacBook Pro, my system prets got all messed up. For some reason when i went to click on shapeshifter, intellimouse, and mobile pre i get this message that says, " Preferences Error: you cannot open shapeshifter preferences pane on this computer. contact the developer of this software fora newer version". Why does this happen?

Because your old versions are PowerPC only. As the error message says, you need to go to the developers sites, and download universal versions (assuming they've been updated already).

A. the old versions were from a FW800 powermac G4 (which is for sale on ebay with a 20" cinema display)

B. Ive already tried deleting the old files and reinstalling the new ones and it still doesnt work!!

I know that Shapeshifter is not Intel-compatible yet...don't know about the other ones.
