Apps that WON'T work on Leopard

Status
Not open for further replies.
AUDIO DISTORTION, TOAST, JAM, and EPSON R800 Driver

I am getting a lot of audio distortion problems when burning a Audio CD using Toast or Jam. I had to revert back to Tiger to get these Audio Apps to work. I also could no longer print to a CD or DVD using my Epson R800. Seems there no longer is a Printer Setup Utility in Utilities. I suspect an Epson Driver issue. But most disappointing is the Audio Distortion on Playback - even from the FINDER.
 
NewsFire

Having some problems with NewsFire on both of my machines (PPC Powerbook and a new MBP) - loads new feed articles ok, but the option to show the article summary inline doesn't work.

Changing the "Clicking a list item" preference to "Opens the item link in the web browser" is a workaround, but kind of defeats the purpose for me. (Most of the sites I read via RSS supply the full article text in the feed, obviating any need to visit the website)

Probably some sort of change to the WebKit framework that needs a corresponding code fix in NF. Either that, or Apple's deliberately crippling 3rd party readers to force us to use the new RSS functionality in Mail.app ;)

[Update: on one of my machines, I later did an Erase and Install, and NewsFire then works as it should. On the other machine (where I installed with an Archive and Install), I then tried everything I could to produce a similarly clean environment - getting rid of NF-related items in /Library/Cache and /Library/Application Support, and still no luck]
 
Leopard broke my precious VLC.

Using 0.8.6C, my IR remote no longer works.

My issue is, that was the ONLY way to enjoy audio/video with a remote on the SPDIF (optical audio output).

Tiger won't allow the IR remote to change the volume, neither will Leopard. (I have expected this not to change) But at least in Tiger, if you were running VLC, you could control the volume on that. Now the IR port seems locked out when VLC is running.

Boo.

I also miss my cool front row noises.
 
Ipod to Itunes Music Transfer

I need to move music and albumart from iPod to Itunes in Leopard. Senuti is not working. Dis anyone try doing this and succeed?

I tried iPodRip and that does not even start up in Leopard. It just hangs

Yes, WoW works! Oh and Inquisitor doesn't work.

I don't have Leopard so cannot, can someone PLEASE try Inquisitor with this :)

On the comments on DW's blog, someone says it works, but I would really like conformation. Once Menufela is working, I'm ready to switch. I think it could be a matter of an Application Enhancer update...
 
Howdy...

SoundSource from Rogue Ameoba doesn't seem to work.

Does anyone know of another program that lets you select sound input and output device from the menubar?

Best,

Ben

Can anyone with leopard installed already test these apps please:

- Adobe Cs3 Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, Bridge, etc.)

- Final Cut Studio 2 (FCP, Motion, Soundtrack Pro, Compressor)

- After Effects Cs3

thanks

Adobe:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/macworld/20...ard20071026;_ylt=AubK8pVjp6ulqeZu2GOvV6ExVrIF

Basically, Photoshop, Illustrator etc. are pretty good except for the video apps (Encore After Affects, Premier)

Apple:
I don't have FCS2 but I quickly tested:
Shake 4.1,
Motion 2.1.2,
DVD Studio Pro 4.1.2,
Final Cut Pro 5.1.4

and they all seemed to be working OK


side note: sheep shaver still works (well as well as it did before)
 
can someone explain to me what's wrong with after effects? it seems to work fine for me, and i remember somewhere in another thread someone reported the same. is there something critical i'm missing here?

It's an issue for those of us who've been using Classic applications on PPC Macs for years now and never found a need to change because the Classic environment worked so well. I can't upgrade to Leopard until I've solved these problems. I know can do it, but it will be costly, and unwelcome.

on an Intel mac you can try SheepShaver. it will let you run classic env. up through 9.0 (not 9.1 or 9.2 I believe)

it's not perfect, but gets me by on a few oldies I need to run now and then
 
Lots of glitches with Photoshop CS3. Marquee tool/ cursor freak outs, menu bars disappearing when "Spaces" is used... Quitting and restarting helps for a bit.

I'm using SoundSource and it works fine. I did an Archive and Install and it worked right from the word go.
 
Will those who got perian to work please post if you are running PPC or Intel.

Same with the applications you are all running, maybe that will give some others insight into whether or not the questionable apps will run on their own systems? I don't know if that will matter or not. :confused:

EDIT: Perian works...pretty good on my Intel imac, coverflow only shows some black screens and pressing space on them shows blank in the preview window, opening in quicktime, they work just fine.
-Copying my old itunes library+artwork folders from 4.10 right into 5.0's itunes folder work just fine. (I don't have to redo my album artwork, yeay!!)
 
Any news on AppFresh, Jing, Mozy, Connect360, Pref360Control or Sixtyforce yet?

EDIT: Thanks for telling me,cell-gfx, Jing and AppFresh are fine

Any news on the others?

Ok, where is the logic in this? Sure Classic is PPC based, so it would require exponential resources to make it run on Intel machines (though it would be nice ;) )

You nailed it right on the head right there.

Tell you what you have to do... You want Classic with future versions of OS X? Get in touch with Apple and offer to pay them for continuing to maintain a very old and increasingly unused legacy application. That's how we do it in my company (and why my job role never got canned when others around me were invited to move on - the customer was paying a retainer that effectivly covered my wages just to keep me around in case they needed work on a DOS/Win 3.11 system). They dumped the system this year because it is getting hard to find hardware to run it on... :eek:

So either Apple pass the cost on to everyone (not fair), or dump a legacy feature that fewer and fewer people need.

Me - I'm very happy that Apple have kept the cost of OS X so stable. In real terms it costs less (they have not even increased the cost in line with inflation over the years).

I can confirm that acidsearch crashes safari horribly and instantly when installed using that. saft just doesn't appear at all. inquisitor appears to install, but my mac is not currently online, so I can't 100% confirm that.
