[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1326522, member: 56379"] Nope. The issue is hardware compatibility. The hardware in the new iMac's is not compatible with the older PPC applications...and it's been this way for a good number of years. "Rosetta" was a way around this hardware incompatibility with the initial generations of Macintosh computers with Intel cpu's (starting around 2006). Folks using older PPC applications (starting in 2006) were supposed to eventually "migrate" to newer versions of the software they use...which would be Mac "Intel" compatible. Since this started in 2006...I think expecting Apple to continue supporting PPC applications (via Rosetta) into 2011 (and now almost 2012) is asking a lot.;) It's time to purchase new versions of what I'm guessing are Adobe programs (CS5)...or continue running the old versions of "Photoshop, Illustrator, etc. on older Mac hardware. Of course the older hardware & the older OS versions do have limitations in a 2011 environment. HTH,:) - Nick p.s. You can still run "Rosetta" using OS 10.6 on older Intel Mac's (so your only option is not necessarily a G5 based Mac. But the newest Mac models REQUIRE OS 10.7 Lion...so you cannot "downgrade" the newest Mac's to 10.6 Snow Leopard in order to run Rosetta.
