After Migration you find it better to Open your Applications the first time from within Applications folder, not from the Dock. That often corrects the ? in the dock. > Do I need to do this, or just update the various programs as I dont > understand what Rosetta really does but know it is software required for some > early versions on OSX is that right? I always suggest before upgrading to Snow Leopard that people check their Applications and Upgrade any PowerPC Applications to Universal versions (if they exist). I would go through all your applications and check for updates. Use System Profiler to check all your Applications, it will show if Universal, Intel, or PowerPC. Obviously, Classic or OS 9 apps won’t run on an Intel Mac. Rosetta and Quicktime 7 are both included on the Mac OS X 10.6 installation DVD, both are designated as optional installs by default. > > Thanks for any help > > Chris Cheers, Ronni 17" MacBook Pro Intel Core i7 2.66GHz / 8GB / 1067 MHz DDR3 / 500GB Serial ATA Drive @ 7200rpm OS X 10.6.7 Snow Leopard Windows 7 Ultimate (under sufferance) -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml> Guidelines - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml> Unsubscribe - <mailto:[email protected]>
