Frequently Asked Questions"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Q: Does the current version of Finale run under OS X?<br \/>A: Finale 2003 is not a native OSX application. Although Finale 2004 (expected to be released summer of 2003) is currently in development and will be a native application, in the interim Finale 2003 (and earlier versions) will need to run in Classic mode or OS 9.<\/p>\n<p>Q: What exactly IS &#8220;Classic mode&#8221;?<br \/>A: Classic means that an application was written with earlier Macintosh OS versions in mind, but will run in a &#8220;compatibility mode&#8221; called Classic. If you launch a Classic application while running in OSX, it will launch this separate &#8220;shell&#8221; or &#8220;mode&#8221; allowing the user to use this program. The application will use OS9 looking dialog boxes and the OS9 menu bar will be visible when you are using a classic application. Clicking back into<br \/>the Finder will bring you back to OSX. Finale 2003 is a Classic application.<\/p>\n<p>Q: Does MIDI work the same in Classic mode of OSX as it does in OS 9?<br \/>A: No. While MIDI applications (including Finale 2003) can work in Classic mode, MIDI communication is not possible.  That&#8217;s because OMS will not work in classic mode.  Users of OSX should simply choose to boot their Mac in OS 9 when using MIDI applications &#8211; IF their computer supports OS9.<\/p>\n<p>Q: Does MIDI work fine (with Finale and other applications) when booted into OS 9 from machines with OSX installed?<br \/>A: Yes, it works really well, and this is often our recommended solution.<\/p>\n<p>Q: How can I avoid a &#8220;stuttering&#8221; sound when using the Mac&#8217;s internal QuickTime sounds for playback?<br \/>A: The stuttering playback happens in OS 9 with QuickTime 5 and in Classic mode with QuickTime 5 or 6. If you are using OS 9, we recommend you upgrade to QT 6. If you&#8217;re using Classic, you could uninstall QuickTime 5 and reinstall QuickTime 4. (This will result in OS 9 and Classic using QT 4 and OS X using QT 5.)<\/p>\n<p>Q: It sounds like my MIDI problems could be eliminated if I booted my Mac in OS 9. How do I do that?<br \/>A: Follow these steps:<br \/>1. Click the System Preferences icon in the Dock (or go to the Apple Menu and choose System Preferences)<br \/>2. Click Startup Disk (in the System section)<br \/>3. Choose your OS9 System folder.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","categories":[],"tags":[34243],"storecat":[],"itemids":[22340],"manufacturers":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Check out the Finale 2003 and working in OSX (Classic Mode).
