This is a CD that has been coded for use with much older Macs when they used IBM PowerPC CPUs.

This disk probably worked when you were still using OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard as SL had a PowerPC code emulator

called Rosetta that still allowed older PowerPC software to still function with an Intel CPU based Mac running that version of OS X.

Apple finally ended support for older PowerPC code and application support by discontung the Rosetta emulation software from OS X 10.7 Lion and up!

You will need to contact Pantone or check the Pantone website to see if they have newer, updated discs or downloads available to use on your version of OS X 10.7.5 Lion.

Good Luck!
