Many programs I used to use in Tiger doesn't work in Leopard

Here are the ones I've noticed have not been working or have errors:
iMovie
iChat
Yahoo Messenger
Adium
VisualHub
There are probably like 10 more but I haven't seen it yet. Why are so many programs are acting like this. I was thinking it was becasuse it wasn't ugpraded enough but I did install the newer version and it doesn't work.

Well, haven't we had to deal with a slew of updates every two years?
And at least Vista x64 is probably more secure, supports EFI (UEFI 2.).
The same people that would need a Mac Pro (dual cpu, 8GB RAM, etc) would be looking at 64-bit.
Did not Apple tout the G5 from IBM as finally being a 64-bit system? But yes, even Adobe CS3 is still 32-bit and limited to 3.5GB of user space, which there are work arounds for.
One person I tried to help was using Maya but his version doesn't work with Leopard, and blames Apple and 10.5 it seems, rather than realize he needs to consider an 8-core system rather than 4-core, more memory, make better use of disk and RAID, and of course... upgrade software or... WAIT FOR MAYA AND 10.5.x to catch up to each other!
People assume you have to wait for SP1 for Windows, but think they should jump rigtht in, when we all have seen that X.3 is usually the first "sweet spot" in any release.

  • Two Finger Scrolling using track pad doesn't work.

    You know how you can drag 2 fingers down the track pad to sroll down a page. Well, it doesn't work for me using Vista through Boot Camp. I tried the update, but it wouldn't install.
    Is this as good as it gets?
    Hypnoguy

    Hypnoguy,
    Sorry I haven't used boot camp for a long time my memory is a little fuzzy. Also note I used it with XP and not Vista, but don't use it at the moment anymore.
    Here is a list of Supported Macs for 64-bit windows: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1846
    As per your trackpad problems after the drives have been installed I would try to install the update again: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3336
    Here are the boot camp updates and also may help with errors:
    64 bit: http://support.apple.com/downloads/BootCamp_Update_2_1_for_Windows_Vista64
    32 bit: http://support.apple.com/downloads/BootCamp_Update_2_1_for_Windows_Vista32
    Also I would look in the boot camp system tray tool to see if there are settings related to your function keys.
    Sorry I don't know of a function key that changes the startup volume, I only know of the select from the boot camp system tray (Windows)/Startup disk preference pane (Mac) or the hold option during startup. More on that here http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/11892.html
    A good place to find a lot of Bootcamp support would be here: http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/

  • Programmatic security using isCallerInRole(roleName) doesn't work

    Hi,
    I am developing an EJB application on WebAS 6.40 SP16 and try to use declarative and programmatic security combined. I have conducted the following steps to map a UME group to an j2ee ejb role:
    - Mapped a new Security Role (SR_ProductAdmin) to the UME Administrators group using the Visual Administrator(Services/Security Provider/Security Roles).
    - Mapped the Security Role to an EJB Application Security Role in ejb-j2ee-engine.xml
    <ejb-j2ee-engine>
      <security-permission>
        <security-role-map>
          <role-name>ProductAdmin</role-name>
          <server-role-name>SR_ProductAdmin</server-role-name>
        </security-role-map>
      </security-permission>
    </ejb-j2ee-engine>
    - Added the role in ejb-jar.xml/Assembly/security-role
    - Enforced descriptive security in ejb-jar.xml/Assembly/method-permission on my EJB. This works as expected, only members of the administrators group can access the EJB.
    - Added another role mapped to the J2EE Security Role "all" and added it to  ejb-jar.xml/Assembly/method-permission to allow some methods of the EJB to be invoked by everyone, security checking is based on parameters and done programmatically at runtime.
    - I have mapped the ProductAdmin in ejb-jar.xml/Enterprise Beans/session beans/security-role-ref as described in the Developer Studio manual.
    <security-role-ref>
      <role-name>ProductAdminInternal</role-name>
      <role-link>ProductAdmin</role-link>
    </security-role-ref>
    - I should be able to check the role of the caller using the Context.isCallerInRole(String roleName) but it always returns false for roleName="ProductAdminInternal". In the same context I can invoke Context.getCallerPrincipal().getName() and get (correctly) the user name "Administrator".
    Thanks in advance,
    Stefan

    Hi Frank,
    When using the Must value authentication worked but when using the Auth value it didn't.
    Now I've found what the problem was.
    I had to define the users and role in %JDEV_HOME%\j2ee\home\config\system-jazn-data.xml. I had setup my users in several jazn files but this one. It's pretty hard to find in which xml file you have to define users and roles. I don't understand either why switching from Must to Auth makes the authentication using different jazn files...
    Now I have to test in an OC4J standalone instance.
    Thanks,
    Seb.

  • OCI compatibility - will program build using 8.1.x libs work on 7.3 client?

    I am building an OCI program on Linux and Solaris, linking OCI statically using Oracle 8.1.6. Even with a static link, the resulting program requires libskgxp8.so - which apparently has no static version.
    My question is this - will my program work on an Oracle 7.3 client, where I'm sure this shared object will not exist?
    Also - what does libskgxp8 do? Is there no way to link this statically? What is the appropriate method for building on OCI program using Oracle 8.1.x, to make it work on an 8.0 or 7.3 Oracle client?

  • Apple Hardware Test : Use original Tiger Instal disc, or new Leopard disc?

    Hi,
    I'm STILL trouble shooting my slow iMac. I figure this may point me in the general right direction.
    My question is if my computer came with Tiger, and Leopard is now installed, which startup disc should I use?
    thanks

    Hi:
    Try the OS X 10.5 DVD (boot while holding down the "D" key). I have, frankly, never tried to run an "old" hardware test on a "new" computer, but nothing should be harmed by trying.
    Incidentally, slow is usually software-related not hardware-related.

  • Help. iPhone 5, calendar sync issues using Outlook. Doesn't work. Does any kind soul have a solution

    At my wits end. iPhone 5, OS 7.1.1, using Outlook as mail, contacts and calendar but unable to find a solution to sync everything. I have my own domain and use a small ISP. It's not an Exchange server account. I've trawled countless forums but to no avail. Can anyone help? Steve. 

    Mavericks doesn't sync contacts or calendar via iTunes anymore. Apple removed 'sync services' so Outlook doesn't have the sync engine to move data between iOS & the Mac. It will still work on iTunes 11 on earlier OS X's.
    On 10.9 you can either use iCloud, setup your own contacts & calendar server (OS X server, Biakal, Owncloud & many others) or you can find another online service to use to sync data, like Google apps.
    There is a 200 page thread on the issue…
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5460803?start=0&tstart=0
    There is also a user tip on how to setup Baikal…
    Hosting your own CalDAV and CardDAV server using Baïkal Server
    You should also look for apps that may help like SyncMate http://www.eltima.com or maybe missing sync? http://www.markspace.com/

  • How do I change Default search engine in the address bar, not the search window on the top right or by using about:config, doesn't work. Worked fine until this FF 8.0 update, now defaults to Yahoo 7. About to throw it in and use Chrome.

    When Firefox 8.0 installed it has automatically changed my address bar default search engine to Yahoo7 which is crap. I can not change this back. So when I start FF it opens to my google home page, when I type a subject and search the results are displayed in a Yahoo 7 results page, not google. I am not talking about my default home page or the search bar to the top right. This is still google.
    The settings in about:config do nothing.
    This was fine until FF 8.0.

    Thanks dmcritchie,
    Nice effort but that answers a different question about fixing the add-on Yahoo toolbar.
    Pernich and I want to know; If you type search criteria directly into the address bar and hit enter, how to change that search engine from Yahoo to Google.
    Otherwise I too will go back to using Google Chrome, even though I really like FF8.0
    please help

  • Email with attachments QPAC: setting "From" using process data doesn't work

    Hi,
    I trying to set the "From" in the Email with attachments QPAC from a process variable, let's call it "mailagent", which is of type xs:string.
    So I use a set value QPAC, which sets the "mailagent" variable to "[email protected]". The workflow then continous with the Email QPAC.
    Which stalls and throws the following exception:
    javax.mail.MessagingException: 501 Syntax error, parameters in command "MAIL FROM:<{$/process_data/@mailagent$}>" unrecognized or missing
    Hrm. I thought, I had already used the Email QPAC this way.
    Is there some kind of magic to apply to the Email with attachments QPAC in order for it to accept process data in the "From"?
    Steve

    Yes, I'm sure, it worked for us to. But it obviously no longer does.
    Yes, "mailagent" definitely is a variable of type string, though it's of type
    xs:string. I'm no longer able to create variables, which don't feature the
    xs namespace. Which is quite confusing as I've got absolutely no idea, what the
    xs is used for.
    We are using LiveCycle Workflow 7.2.1, the Email QPAC is 7.0.2. Is this the latest version?

  • IPad to tv using av cable doesn't work since update

    II've used a av cable to connect iPad to tv via hdmi to watch you tube etc but since os update it says not compatible when I plug into the iPad and doesn't work

    You need to get a new cable.  Suggest you try out the cable in the store before buying.  Do not know if any third party cables work.  Goto apple store and buy new cable.  Try in store.  Older apple cables do not work either.

  • Creating a script for a PRIMARY KEY USING INDEX SORT doesn't work

    Probably a bug.
    h1. Environment
    Application: Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler
    Version: 3.0.0.655
    h1. Test Case:
    1. Create a new table TRANSACTIONS with some columns.
    2. Mark one of numeric columns as the primary key - PK_TRANSACTIONS.
    3. Go to Physical Models and create new Oracle Database 11g.
    4. Go to Physical Models -> Oracle Database 11g -> Tables -> TRANSACTIONS -> Primary Keys -> PK_TRANSACTIONS -> Properties:
    a) on General tab set Using Index to BY INDEX NAME
    b) on Using Index tab choose a tablespace
    c) on Using Index tab set Index Sort to SORTED.
    5. Export the schema to DDL script. For the primary key you will get something like this:
    ALTER TABLE TRANSACTION
    ADD CONSTRAINT PK_TRANSACTION PRIMARY KEY ( TRAN_ID ) DEFERRABLE
    USING INDEX
    PCTFREE 10
    MAXTRANS 255
    TABLESPACE TBSPC_INDX

    MAXEXTENTS 2147483645
    FREELISTS 1
    FREELIST GROUPS 1
    BUFFER_POOL DEFAULT
    ) SORTED
    h1. Reason of failure
    The script will fail because SORTED is not allowed here. It should be SORT.
    Additionally, the default behaviour for Data Modeler is to set Index Sort to NO but default setting for Oracle database 11g is SORT. Shouldn't Data Modeler use SORT as the default value?
    Edited by: user7420841 on 2011-05-07 03:15

    Hi,
    Thanks for reporting this problem. As you say, it should be SORT rather than SORTED. I have logged a bug on this.
    I also agree that, for consistency with the database default, it would be better to have SORT as the default in Data Modeler.

    Thie last 6 lines seems to be complaining the  problem, saying that 0xe038  and 0xe01d are invalid scancodes.
    But they are scancodes of rightAlt and rightCtrl respectively, which I got from
    showkey -s
    After rebooting the system with the above settings, esc works as caps_lock and caps_lock works as  esc but  rightAlt and rightCtrl has no changes.

    Thanks plam and Raynman for your help . Follow your hints, I succeed the swapping key task in an alternative method.
    Using the command 'setkeycodes' and adding these commands into a systemd controlled service script, keymaps are exchanged as gdm started.
    Here is my script and steps for doing this.
    Created a file with filename custom-keys.service under /etc/systemd/system. Add the  following context to the file.
    [Unit]
    Description=Keymap Custom
    Requires=gdm.service
    After=gdm.service
    [Service]
    Type=oneshot
    ExecStart=/usr/bin/setkeycodes 1 58
    ExecStart=/usr/bin/setkeycodes 3a 1
    ExecStart=/usr/bin/setkeycodes e01d 100
    ExecStart=/usr/bin/setkeycodes e038 97
    [Install]
    WantedBy=graphical.target
    Enable the script so setkeycodes commands will automatically executed when gdm starts
    systemctl enable custom-keys
    The next time you reboot your system, key changes will take effect. To test if your config works, try
    systemctl start custom-keys

  • Remapping keyboard keys using udev hwdb doesn't work on rightAlt

    Hi,
    I'm trying to use udev hwdb for swapping pairs of keys ( esc, caps_lock ) and ( rightAlt , rightCtrl ) . I followed the instruction here Map Scancodes to Keycodes   with procedures describe blow. I only succeed in exchaging pair (esc, caps_lock) but failed in (rightAlt, rightCtrl).
    Details of Procedures:
    Create an empty file under /usr/lib64/udev/hwdb.d with file name 90-custom-keys.hwdb . Add the following lines into this file.
    keyboard:dmi:bvn*:bvr*:bd*:svnDell*:pn*
    KEYBOARD_KEY_01=capslock
    KEYBOARD_KEY_3a=esc
    KEYBOARD_KEY_e038=rightctrl
    KEYBOARD_KEY_e01d=rightalt
    Rebuilding hwdb.bin
    udevadm hwdb --update
    Testing and reboot my system
    udevadm --debug test /devices/platform/i8042/serio0/input/input0/event0
    udevadm --debug test-builtin keyboard /devices/platform/i8042/serio0/input/input0/event0
    Parts of the testing result of the last command looks like
    device 0x1ce3890 has devpath '/devices/platform/i8042/serio0/input/input0/event0'
    device 0x1ce3890 filled with db file data

    For USB keyboard, you need to get the scancodes from evtest rather than showkey. You may find a solution from:
