How do I download Rosetta®, the "software translation technology", to my MC815LLA, OS X Lion? I'm led to believe it can migrate/translate(/transfer?) my PowerPC (Tiger 10.4.11) 'stuff' to my brand new Intel (10.7.3)-a Big Jump, I know.

URGENT: To Whom Has THE KNOWLEDGE,

How do I download Rosetta®, the "software translation technology", to my MC815LLA, OS X Lion? I'm led to believe it can help me migrate/translate(/transfer?) my PowerPC (Tiger 10.4.11) 'stuff' to my brand new Intel (Lion 10.7.3)---A BIG Jump---; believe me, I KNOW! Like falling off a horse-drawn tram into the seat of an F-18. Goodness Gracious!

Regarding a somewhat similar problem: "How to get the phone book and calendar out of my Nokia cell phone ( smart?)?" The Nokia requires iSync (no longer supported in Lion) & a Nokia plugin.

Partitioning off 30(?) to 50(? ) Gigs and installing Snow Leopard was confirmed as a "do-able" by "Apple Care" (AC)____

My Question: Could rebuild my iCal & Address Book on the Snow Leopard, using iSync (presuming there is a plugin for 10.6) & then, migrate them to Lion.

The Nokia was iSync'd, March '11with the Mac Cube HD >[currently residing in an "Enclosure"] : Mac Cube, OS 9 Extended, journaled, (maxed out w/OS X 10.4.11).

Treated the Nokia as the Primary or Default. It was the FIRST time, ever, that I had a copy of my phone's "contacts".

Everyones external contacts(+notes) data is of the utmost importance!

My Nokia's 'Contacts' (phone book) is 13 yrs. old. Started 1998 with Voicestream (®, ™?). Transferid "electronically" by the service provider. Built from 40 years of personal phone books in DC. Ex. Asst., B'days, Spose's B'days, tire size, -pins, Pswds. reminders-, etc., etc., etc., ad infinitum.

That's not a solution for the files, folders, docs, etc. in the PowerPC apps. For instance, and in particular, iWork; templates, Stationary Letter Heads, archived letter files, etc., etc.

Given the FEAR of loosing some

As always, Thanks in advance,

Specifically to you Experts

Mac mini, Mac OS X (10.7.3), From Horse Drawn to Jet Fighter!

1. NO you can't use Rosetta in Lion. After six years of making PPC code redundant, Rosetta was finally dropped in Lion. There in no hack to run it in Lion.

2. Refer to Nokias site, as these are Apple forums.

Good Luck

Pete

Eric, et al,

Thanks. You gave me impetus to keep digging at Nokia. Found this goo.gl/xyusc . [Download] iSync 3.1.2 The Missing Mac OS X Lion App | Dev-Ray .

This resolved my most important & immediate worry. Backing up my contacts/Address Book & calendar/iCal.

iCal & Address Book Synced?-Sunked? Thankfully not lost {sunk)!

p.s. Still need to figure out how to get the PPC docs brought over. Thought surely I'd made the Mini's purchase contingent on having iWork (primarily Pages) as a condition of purchase. Have to check that out. My non-accessible Pages (v. 1.0.2 PPC) has proven so far to be totally inaccessible.

FYI

There is no such thing as a 'PPC' doc, only PPC applications.

You will need to buy the latest version of Pages and this will open your documents.

Not disagreeing with that (but I don't have this problem) just reminding others that data files don't come in different variants for PPC machines, and can be opened by current versions of the applications. Thanks

You have a lot to digest here and as you say you are taking a big step. I agree with Eric's comment about making archive backups of your calendar and address book, in .csv, vcard .abbu, .icbu, etc formats, that may be imported into other systems.

You may be interested in checking out your existing apps for compatibility, in roaringapps.com, and start downloading updates from manufacturers of third party apps and drivers, where possible.
