Q: how do i activate rosetta.

I dont have the installation disk but i do have it installed on my pc and its not allowing me to install Maya 2009 because the operating system is recognising it as an intel and not as a PC. I have 10.6.8 Snow Leopard but the mac is updated and goes back to 9/2010. I only have Maya 2009 because I cant afford to buy the most recent software and as far as I understand it you can install it on a Mac which has Rosetta on it. But its not installing the Maya core. The box to tick on the custom installation does not allow me to click on Maya core. I dont have the installation desk for the the Mac oeprating system software but I do see that Rosetta version 1 is installed. Do I need to update Rosetta? How would I do that?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8), Rosetta software is installed

    So this will enable me to run Maya 2009 once I have installed it and i wont lose any of the programmes or content already on my computer?

    First rule is to always make a backup before reinstalling the OS in case something goes wrong. It shouldn't, but a drive that may already have corrupt files or a damaged file table could keel over when you do something like a reinstall since thousands of files and folders get written to the drive.

     

    A default SL install will leave all of your current personal files, settings and third party software on the drive. Since the DVD is 10.6.3, you would install the 10.6.8 Combo installer afterwards, and any other available updates.
