- Mac Mini Aluminium running at 2.4 GHz.
Hi guys,
I have come across a sticky problem that has me beat (it doesn;t take much, lol)
Here are some details for you to ponder.
My Mac Mini is from Mid 2010 with the following specs.
Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 320M 256 MB
Software OS X 10.8.5 (12F37)
The software App that I am trying to install is a version of IBM's ViaVoice produced especially for Mac computer running OS X.
The Minimum required Spec list on the side of the box states that this software WILL NOT WORK on a PowerMac G3 or PowerBook G3. The list also says that I should install this software on a Mac with 300 MHz processor, 192 mb of RAM (256 is better) & 600 mb of spare hard drive space.
Now, I think I'm right in saying that my Mac Mini exceeds the required specs so how come that when I try to install the App by double clicking the ViaVoice Installer icon I get a message saying .....
"You can’t open the application “ViaVoice Installer.app” because PowerPC applications are no longer supported."
Does the App think that my computer is a Power PC? It isn't, is it? (slaps forehead)
Any help gratefully received.
Cheers,
Steve.
