Airport Client Monitor for Intel

It appears that the ever-useful Airport Client Monitor does not work on Intel Macs. Am I wrong - is there a universal version?
I've just found a donationware utility "AP Grapher" that may be a useful substitute available here:
http://www.chimoosoft.com/products/apgrapher/
I've been testing for a day so far. It looks good - I think a donation is deserved. I've only glanced at the "stumbler" function, but that looks good too.
From the Macreviewcast
"AP Grapher is a freeware tool for plotting the strength of a network as a function of time. AP Grapher has received a recent (Dec 06) update to Universal Binary along with some performance enhancements. It now does all the stuff that the Airport Client Monitor does as well as what MacStumbler does in one tool. The most valuable part is the time domain plot of Airport link characteristics. The plot will record data for as much as half an hour."

this would appear to the the problem.
Actually, NONE of the older tools that report on wireless networks or status work anymore.
iStumbler has been fixed. I imagine that the rest will get fixed in time.

AirPort Client Monitor

Apple's utility AirPort Client Monitor (version 1.0, 2004/04/06, PowerPC) crashes on my MacBook running OS X 10.5.7. Given its age, that doesn't surprise me too much. Has Apple released anything newer that might provide similar functionality? Does the AirPort Utility's "Logs and Statistics" pane with the "Wireless Clients" tab do an equivalent job?
On the topic of AirPort monitors, MacStumbler 0.75b (the newest one from 2003-07-14) is also crashing. I guess it's also a lost cause.

o Air Radar
That utility is shareware. Apple's AirPort Client Monitor was free. I was also wondering if Apple itself had a utility to replace AirPort Client Monitory.
o AP Grapher
That looks like it could be useful. That link also showed me something new to me about Apple's Web site. I knew about apple.com/support/downloads, but not that Apple's Web site offered downloads of third-party utilities.
o iStumbler
I have that installed on my computer. However, at 28 months old, it may start showing its age at some point.
Thanks for the AP Grapher reference.

Client monitor for iMac running premier pro 6

Any suggestions on what to use to connect a client monitor to a iMac running premier pro 6

I think I just asked a similar question: Monitoring solutions
This is what I was looking at for the iMac: Blackmagic Design: Intensity
You might want to check it plays nice with an iMac and Premiere. I'm still in the early research phase myself.

Using an imac G3 as second monitor for intel imac

I just purchased a 20 inch intel imac and was curious if I could use my old imac G3 as the second monitor.
I already have the DVI to VGA adapter to use in the mini DVI port on the intel imac. Is there an adapter that I can use to plug this cable into the VGA out on the back of my old G3 imac?
intel duo imac Mac OS X (10.4.6)

The VGA port on your old iMac is output, not input,
so what you are suggesting wouldn't work.
To do it, you'd have to take apart the G3 and hack a
connection from the gfx card to the display to
work... probably more trouble than it's worth, given
the quality & res of the old g3 displays.
Thanks for the quick response. Looks like I will have to pick up a second monitor.

Client support for Intel Mac

Does anybody know if and when there will be support for MacOs on Intel Macs for the client libraries?

Unfortunately not many people who use Oracle also use Macs (let's face it, Macs are a small percentage of desktop usage in most business spheres). Combine this with the fact that the Intel Mac is a recent innovation and so currently represents a sliver of Mac usage compared to PowerPC, and you'll see that Oracle clients on Intel Macs must be quite low on the priority scale for porting.
I agree that this is frustrating for you and your clients, but Oracle have to make hard commercial decisions. One of those decisions is to favour the mainstream OS flavours over the niche ones. They never supported Macs until Apple switched to a Unix-based OS, because the previous OS would have been too much work for too lsmall a market segment. They never supported BeOS either, for precisely the same reason.
I guess they will eventually port the Oracle clients to Intel Macs, but not just yet. Still,Any word on MacIntel support? you're not alone.
Cheers, APC

No temperature monitors for Intel Macs?

I found the below in the FAQ for the application 'Temperature Monitor' and thought it might helpful to understand why we don't have a temperature monitoring application, or perhaps never will. SInce we do have the speedit.kext way to read CPU temperature, perhaps at least that is possible to implement in a standalone application.
Q: I am using the latest release of the application which should support my computer, but still no sensor at all, or only a S.M.A.R.T. hard drive temperature sensor is found. Is this normal?
A: Unfortunately there are some specific Macintosh systems which don't allow that sensor values can be read out by a normal application program. There are two different cases:
The computer uses a self-contained cooling control system. The hardware itself controls its own monitoring. No transfer of data from the sensor to the operating system is possible because there is no bus connection between the sensor and the actual computer.
The computer contains sensors accessible via a data bus, but cooling control is independent of Mac OS X. Apple does not provide any device drivers which would allow application programs to get data from the sensor. Only the firmware or a closed part of the operating system core has access to sensor data.
In both cases, it is not possible to develop an application program which could read out sensor values. The following Macintosh systems are affected by this problem:
PowerBook G4 Titanium (all models)
eMac (all models)
iMac G4 (all models)
Mac mini (all models)
Note that Intel-based Macintosh systems use a special mix of the mentioned monitoring techniques: Mac OS X only uses the load sensor of the graphics chip for thermal management. This sensor can be displayed by Hardware Monitor without any problems, it is however not displayed by Temperature Monitor, because this sensor does not measure temperature.
All other sensors in Intel Macs are controlled by special hardware working independently of the operating system, the Apple System Management Controller. This device has not been disclosed by Apple. There are neither drivers for Mac OS X, nor any documentation, and all details related to the function of this chip have been "censored" by Apple in the source code of Darwin. For this reason it is currently impossible that any application program could get readings from this chip.

"Mac OS X only uses the load sensor of the graphics chip for thermal management"
Yes and no. But, this doesn't really seem to be the case! If this is true, simply running Quake4 SHOULD cause the fans to kick on as the GPU is being heavily used. This did not happen on my machine. Only after reapplying the thermal paste would both fans kick in during heavy use. My guess is that it is actually a mix of conditions that cause the fans to operate at different levels. Heat pipe temp + GPU load + ...
I think one variable that is not being used is processor temp. I can't really understand why not though because that would go a long way to alleviating some of our heat problems and the fans would operate in a semi-normal fashion even if the processor/heat pipe connection is suboptimal.

I have a Apple Power Mac G5 Dual 2.3 GHz/6GB RAM/500GB HDD/Superdrive PowerPC Desktop and just bought an Airport Extreme card for it. The card is recognized but will not see the in-house network. This is a pre-intel computer. Do I need an antennae?

This is a pre-intel computer. Do I need an additional antennae? If so, which one because my research is confusing me about what is supposed to work with this computer.

Please check out the following Apple Support article to see if your particular Power Mac model supports an external Wi-Fi antenna.

Hi there, I'm thinking of buying both a new MacBook Pro and a small 22 inch LED tv for my kitchen... what would I need to be able to use (wireless of course) the tv as a monitor for the new computer? Apple tv? Airport Express? something else? Thanks.

Hi a,
http://www.mctiviausa.com/
There has been "talk" on and off of Apple TV doing it (and people have done it with a hack), but I haven't really followed it.
It would be a whole lot cheaper getting an adapter (as needed) and cable and simply pluggin it in when you're in the kitchen.

Oracle Instant Client for Intel MacOS X

Hi all, this is my first post here (so I don't know if it's the proper place, but to try it is free. Sorry for any inconvenience).
Anybody, can confirm/explain why, one year after launch, there isn't one available download of Oracle Instant Client for Intel MacOS X?
Without it's impossible, for example, to compile PHP with OCI support under Intel MacOS X (native mode) and it's really a pain.
With PPC version existing since ages, wouldn't be absolutely easy to recompile that cool stuff for Intel MacOS X?
TIA and ciao, Eloy Lafuente :-)

Hi again...
just to know a bit more... two months later... how is customer demand going...?
Have you searched for "macos x instant client intel" ?
Aren't PHP/Perl/Ruby applications enough?
I sincerely think it's a big mistake to don't offer native connectivity for MacOS X Intel users... of course, your mistake.
Some developers, like me, will stop developing/improving Oracle support in their applications just because they use MacOS X to develop. So, those applications won't run ok under Oracle, no matter where you deploy them.
With thousands of applications running natively under MacOS X Intel... isn't there (@ Oracle) able to recompile that tiny piece of software to run under Intels... sorry but I cannot believe it.
I'll email SJ right now! Ciao :-)

Can't find AirPort 4.2 for Mac OS X 10.4.x software for Intel Mac Book

I have an Intel Mac Book and recently picked up a graphite AirPort on eBay without software. I installed the Installer updaters and Mac OSX 1.4.9 Combo update. I can not install AirPort software 2.0 - the error says I can not install on this machine. I went on the Apple site to find AirPort 4.2 for Mac OS X 10.4.x and can not locate the download. Any ideas?

Hi Duane!
Thank you for welcoming me and yur information. I now see that I have the software, but I'm still having issues. I can't get the airport to see the internet. It knows there is an internet connection in the Network Assistant, but fails on the diagnostic. Further, after a restart, the Admin Utility does not list the IP address I the window.
I wondered if this was because of the software version update becausse it said it fixes an issue with Comcast (my ISP).
I wanted to use the Admin Utility to configure the Airport from scratch, but how can I if the base station is not in the list?

Virtual Monitor for VNC Client/Remote (Increase Avail. Screen Size)

Now:
I have multiple Macs in my home. From time to time, I use a desktop Mac with a larger monitor to "Screenshare" work off of another Mac's (laptop) HDD. (It's the primary base of my files.)
Screen Size and Resolution:
Laptop 13" - 1280x800
Desktop 19" - 1680x1050
Goal:
I would like to have a "Virutal Monitor" on the 13" Laptop so that I can take advantage of the increased screen real estate on the Desktop's 19" Display. When I have a 2nd Display connected to the 13" MacBook Pro, it has the benefit of the larger display accessible.
Questions:
Is there a way to easily fake the MacBook Pro into having a virtual monitor? Available to all of OS X including Spaces/Expose/Screen Sharing?
So I could use Settings to drag the primary system bar over to the virtual monitor, for when I am working on the remote Mac?
-OR- Should I ask how to SSH into my machine and use its resources without the screen sending taking up bandwidth? Does Apple Remote Desktop do something like this?
Your help and tips are appreciated!

I'd like to do something similar so would be interested if you've found a way of doing this?

Reference monitor for digital cinema workflow

We use the Digital cinema workflow to create 2K title sequences for theatres. We plan to ad a 2K reference monitor into our workflow. The problem is that the video-out path for preview on reference monitors is not color-managed.
Is there a way to see a correct image on a referrence monitor in adjusting the monitor with LUTs?
Where can I find the needed LUTs?
Which monitor do You recommend?
I use After Effects CS3, Mac OSX 10.5.5, 2x2,8 Ghz Quad-Core Intel Xenon, 6GB RAM, Blackmagic HDExtreme2, Grafic card ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT

I'm trying to find out much the same thing. I would assume that anyone knows the answers can help both of us.
I'm purchasing a new Mac Pro desktop. I also use final cut but not after effects.
I actually have 4 monitors to choose from. 2 Dell 19" - One 27" Apple cinema display and a spector High Def 1080i monitor that has a DVI input.
I would like to use one of the Dell's as my primary home desk top monitors with folders and all the usual dock and stuff. I would like to use the cinema display as my primary final cut work surface.
I would like to use the HD monitor to show HD footage and use it as a client monitor. Remember it has a DVI input.
I've talked with the folks at the Local Apple store and they are not sure if I will get a real HD signal on the HD monitor if I add a second radeon 2700 card to the computer and take on of those DVI outputs and attach it to the HD monitor.
If thats not possible can I use the apple cinema display as my playback monitor?
Or do I have to go with a conversion box like a mxo, AJA board, or decklink box.
The goal is to have two monitors for the program and One monitor in HD for the client monitor,
Thanks everyone in advance.

Ho do I use one monitor for OSX and Windows 8.1 bootcamp

I am a long time Mac user, but find the fairly recent Apple switch to thunderbolt for monitor input very frustrating.
For several years I have ran a Mid 2010 IMac 27" and input video from a Mac Mini running Boot Camp Windows 7 using Target Display Mode on the IMac.
This worked fine until I upgraded to a Late 2013 27" IMac and discovered that the IMac has moved to thunderbolt as the input for Target Display Mode. The new late 2013 27" IMac just will not display native Windows 7 or 8 from a Boot Camp Mac anymore.
My problem is that I have two business/job related Windows apps that must run on a native windows 7 or 8 platform, and won't function under either Parallels or VMWare Fusion.
I have tried.
And there appears to be no way to get any Windows machine with DVI or Mini Display Port output to drive a late 2013 IMac in Target Display mode.
So, with great frustration, I have concluded that I need to purchase a non-Apple 27-30" monitor, and drive it with either a Mac Mini, or my Early 2013 15" MacBook Pro retina, running one of the Macs into on of the mini-Display Ports on the monitor and a native Windows 7 or 8 machine into a second mini-display port, switching between the two video inputs. The Dell 30" monitor seems to get the nod.
Has anyone found a better solution to switching between OSX and native Windows on one monitor?
Thanks...

Hi William,
I had the same experience in December 2013 and contacted Apple about it. According to Apple it's an issue of Windows with Thunderbolt. Your older iMac from 2010 is using DisplayPort and not Thunderbolt for the Target Display Mode. Note that just the connector looks the same but it's still a different technology. Please further note that the response below does not apply for the new iMac 27" with the 5K display because this iMac does not support Target Display Mode at all, hence can't be used as external display. Of course you can still attach one or two external displays to the iMac 27" 5K.
Hope this clears things up for you and the others.
Thanks,
Martin
So, here is the important part of the official response from Apple:
"... The Thunderbolt controller in an iMac is running exclusively in host mode. As such it cannot emulate a device mode Thunderbolt display. Instead it implements a custom Target Display Mode protocol that shares video between two peer to peer machines running with both controllers running in host mode. The "client" side of the driver does not exist on Windows so windows cannot speak to the "server" half in the iMac. There are no plans to implement a client driver for Windows since there is no Thunderbolt SW stack available for Windows. The reason this used to work is that the older iMacs used DisplayPort for Target Display Mode. In this scenario the iMac was able to expose the panel in such a way that it looked exactly like a Display Port Device which Windows does have driver support for. ... "
