Problem about Mac Os X 10.6.3 V.S Labview 2009

[mofi]

hi,labview~

i have some problem about Labview 2009.i saw the website of NI wrote the Labview 2009 is not support for Mac OSX 10.6.3,but i have already installed it (English system) in my computer successfully.

anyway,i cant open the programs which are wrote by labview 8.5(Japanese system) .My labmate who use Labview 2009(Mac OSX 10.5) can open those programs.

can anyone tell me the possible reason i cant open the programs?

Thanks a lot! 

PS i have already tried Labview 8.5 and 8.6(English system),but the problem cant be solved....:(

Hi mofi, my name is Taiki from National Instruments Japan.

I assume that the link you referred to is the one below, but as you stated, LabVIEW 2009 is not supported in Mac OS X 10.6 so even though you were able to install it successfully, NI cannot assure that it will fully function on your Mac.

LabVIEW Support for Mac OS 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and 10.5 (Leopard)

Since you mentioned that the VI files were able to be opened on LabVIEW 2009, Mac OS X 10.5, the actual VI files should not be the issue which leaves us with the possibility of the software environment.

You also noted that the issue could not be solved on LabVIEW 8.5 and 8.6 but was this on Mac OS X 10.6 as well?

If so, there is a good chance that this issue is due to the fact that LabVIEW is running on an supported OS and I would suggest trying opening the files on another different Mac OS X 10.5 system.

Unfortunately, currently Mac OS X 10.6 is an unsupported OS for any version of LabVIEW so I can only suggest trying on a Mac OS X 10.5.

Kind regards.
