Hello techistas!
I need help installing Quark 4.04 on my Mac.
Background: We want to buy the current version of Quark, but would rather buy the unpgrade rather than the full thing. We have Quark 4.04 that was purchased for this office 4ish years ago. it is not currently installed on any computer. I am trying to install it on mine.
I am following the directions, and a restarted in the classic environment (since Quark 4.04 does not mix with OSX).
When I put in the CD, there is no installer. Ther is something called zddatafile.1, which looks like it might be the installer, but I 'do not have the application program which created it'. The directions just say click on the installer.
I am really just looking for a definative answer on whether or not this can be installed so I can get the upgrade. personally, since is not my money, I do not care much one way or the other.
Thanks so much.
Are you sure you need to install the earlier version to upgrade? Different software companies work upgrades in different ways. Sometimes the upgrade is the full version; it's enough to have the serial number for the earlier version in order to qualify for upgrade pricing. Other times, when installing the upgrade, you're prompted to insert the CD for the old version. Maybe try contacting Quark to ask?
I'm going to convert one of my boxen to Linux. What distro is the best if I'm planning on using it for a file/web/app/DB server?
I've only really used Red Hat, and I'm out of touch with anything that's happened in the marketplace in the last four or so years.
ita, we're running SuSiE on the file server, but I'm not sure exactly why that was the choice.
We're happy running FC3, but it was the choice because we're too lazy to play comparison-shop-the-distros.
My iPod stopped working again. That is, it worked fine except when I connected it to the Cube, when it locked up, along with iTunes and Finder. So I booted the iPod (by itself, not connected to a computer) into diagnostic mode and ran a disk scan. Then I reconnected the iPod to the Cube without using the dock (as I read somewhere to not use the dock when dealing with this problem). Then it worked again, except that by failing to follow the scientific method I don't know which of the two things I did got it working again.
Then my Cube died again. This time it turned out the power cord had fallen out of the power supply.
My cube's power supply had the same problem.
It's a Flowpoint 2210.
No worky, sorry.
BTW, thanks anyway, Tommyrot.
Mac question. We just got a new G5, running OS X 10.3.8. When I tried to install PageMaker 6.5, I got the following message:
No Classic system folder
You do not have a version of Mac OS 9 installed that supports Classic. Install Mac OS 9.1 or later.
WTF? Our old G4 came with OS X installed, and it ran Classic apps right out of the box. Do I have to install OS 9 on top of OS X? And if so, where do I get OS 9?
