MacIntel and/or 10.4.6 compatibility??

Feedback Type:  Troubleshooting Report

Contributed by: aliastemp Monday, May 22 2006 @ 10:02 PM PDT

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Over One Year

Recommend Product: YES

I've moved to a new MacBook Pro, with 10.4.6 (from an old G4 PowerMac that had been updated as far as ~10.4.6), and despite initial hiccoughs I got it installed without the bundle deactivation problem (thanks to Eric's instructions)... but still there is no preference panel and no menu item... I had gotten very comfortable with this great reporting facility, and now I find that not only am I unable (so far) to get it to work, but it's been end-of-lifed... Wow, what a bummer!

Anyone gotten this to work with a MacIntel?? If so, HOW??

Thanks!

Success! Open in Rosetta! - aliastemp

Read a tip about another program that didn't work right on a CoreDuo Mac, which involved making a copy of the program, and in the Get Info window of the copy clicking the box to open it in Rosetta (emulation of PPC)... Tried it and VOILA, the Report Spam item appeared once again, both in the standard menu and in the contextual menu! HOORAY, I can report SPAM painlessly again!

So it does indeed seem that the SpamCop additions are not CoreDuo/Intel compatible, since Rosetta allows them to work...

MacIntel and/or 10.4.6 compatibility?? - Aspartame&MSGsuck!

I have just moved from 10.4.6 (PowerPC) to an Intel MacBook running 10.4.6 and cannot get it to fly either... Let's hope someone can come up with a fix!

A little more info in HOW to make this work... - aliastemp

Make a copy of your "Mail" program (in Applications directory), name it something clear like "Mail Rosetta," select the new copy, use File>Get Info, then check the box to "open in Rosetta" (in the "General" subsection of the resulting info window)...

WARNING: This copy will of course NOT be updated as you increment your OS version... So you'll need to periodically trash your Rosetta copy, make a new one, and proceed... or take your risk using a version of Mail that gets older and older...

Good luck!

p.s. - Still no reliable fix that I know of for SpamRoboCop, which used w/any SpamCop reporting utility would simplify this whole process immensely... Even Mail in Rosetta tends to crash if it's the focus app ("at the front") when the triggering SpamCop notification email comes back... Anyone?!?
