Anyone got experience with Filemaker and Mac OSX v10.4 on a G5

I am in the transition period from PPC to Intel, and installation of Aperture. My main box is an Apple G5 DP running OSX 10.3.9 and I have the upgrade software to go to OS 10.4+ but have not yet installed it. I also have a recent Intel MacBook Pro running 10.4.9.
Problem I'm experiencing is not unusual. If I run the current OS I cant run Aperture in the G5. If I upgrade the OS I suspect I will 'leave behind' some of the other software I rely on.
My query is about one main piece of software I use - Filemaker Pro 5.5 which runs a database I created handling my analog image collection, client info, deliveries and invoices, accounts etc. It works cleanly and quickly and allows great flexiblity in preparing material for output.
I downloaded the trial of Filemaker Pro 9 and it didn't like my old database when I tried to import it into the Intel laptop, and many functions seemed to have gone awol in the conversion to the newer software.
I cant experiment with this in the G5 as Filemaker is a key management tool in my work and any complications I need to overcome will impact seriously on my work.
So my question is - anyone got any experience with Filemaker in G5's - if I go to OSX10.4 upwards on this non-Intel machine will Filemaker V5.5 still run? And if not, are there any ways around this - eg using Classic environment?

*"I go to OSX10.4 upwards on this non-Intel machine will Filemaker V5.5 still run?"*
Yes

Anyone got experience with LabView and JTAG ?

Anyone got experience with LabView and JTAG ?
Especially in system programming of Altera and FLASH

Yes, I've actually driven JTAG using DIO, but this was a project in itself.
I guess you're just wanting to get the job done! I'm currently evaluating
gear to do the same job myself, in addition to interconnect testing. I've
been looking at JTAG Technologies equipment. They do PCI/PXI cards and the
SW, with a LabVIEW interface.
They're at:
www.jtag.com
You'll need to be sitting down when you get their quote though - their development
system costs about the same as a decent car!
Cheers

AnyOne has experience with pharmacies and Pharmaceutical companies apps .

hi , i am developing an application for pharmacies and small
Pharmaceutical companies , the situation is :
the pharmacy can buy a specific medicine ("Cetal" for example with item_id "1") from a store with different expiry dates (2016 and 2017 i.e.) .
so , my stock table (item_detail) has these columns
( patch_no , item_id , qty , expiry_date ) -- for example .
the "patch_no" column is for distinguishing the same medicine , for example
insert into item_detail values
(1 , 1 , 50 , '10/10/2016) ;
insert into item_detail values
(2 , 1 , 50 , '10/10/2016) ;
first problem , in any application , when a pharmacy buy medicines , there is a "purchase invoice " , which should insert the medicine automatically into the stock table(item_detail) .
which means that there will be "2" records for the same medicine(cetal) in the "purchase invoice " , which i think it is not a normal thing .
another section of this problem is the user has to write the "discount" and "bonus" in each record for the same medicine , and may be there 3 rows not 2 .
second problem is about " sales invoice " , when the pharmaceutical company sells a medicine with different batches ,
the same thing will happen , may be i can store the invoice with 2 rows for the same medicine , but the report printed will only have the sum(quantity) group by item_id , but writing the discount and bonus problem still exists , and another problem is i
do not have a proof that i sold him 2 different patches , because the buyer has an invoice which is different from the one i have , he have the sum(quantity) , without expiry dates .
i think this is enough for one post .
thank you so much
- talking about " sales invoice "

HT4587 I downloaded Airport Express Utility 5.6 to get my Airport Express to work with the latest Mac OSX 10.7.4, but when I install and run it, it still says my Airport Express is out-of-date and needs the 5.6 utility.

It is likely that you downloaded AirPort Utility 5.6.1. If you checked the requirements, this only runs on Leopard or Snow Leopard Macs.
You have Lion, so you need AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion

Does anybody have any experience with keyloggers and a good program to detect one on your mac? I think I may have one.

So yesterday I found out that my email address password had been changed. I don't remember doing this, but it is possible I changed it a while back and considering I keep my email constantly logged in. But at the same time, two of my apps were trying to access their "store". I play a game called League of Legends, which has an online store, and it randomly came up with the message "Could not connect to Maestro" (credit card). Then, Itunes (which I rarely use) came up with "sorry, we could not continue with your purchase". I think it's very strange that all of this happened at the same time, but hopefully it's a case of a forgotten password and two games bugging/crashing. I scanned my entire computer with iantivirus and it hasn't found anything, but I've heard keyloggers can be a bit hard to detect. Does anybody have any experience with keyloggers and if so, what program did you use to detect and destroy it?

If you think that a keylogger has been installed the only safe thing you can do is erase your drive and reinstall.
I don't think that is the case however.

Safari 3.1. and Mac OSX 10.5.3

Hi everybody,
I accidentaly dumped Safari from my system because I never used it and I didn't like it very much. anyway, I am using Opera but to set Opera as my default Browser I need Safari to change this setting. So I downloaded the new 3.1. Safari version but wasn't able to install it. I got the message that I need Mac OSX 10.2. or newer (wich I already have). So I tried to install the Tiger version as well (out of curiosity) but it didn't work either. Afterwards I was browsing through the threads in this forum and tried all the other suggestions I found, like:
Installing the Safari 2.1. version from the install disk that came with my PBP. I was able to install it but when I tried to launch it I got the message that I cannot use this safari version with my Mac OSX version. And Software Update doesn't mention any Updates for Safari although an older version is installed.
After that I downloaded Pacifist, repaired my permissions with disk utillity, re-downloaded the Safari 3.1 package and tried to install it via Pacifist. The .pkg file was a zero-byte file and whe I marked every file in the package, and clicked on the install button it seemed to work. I was asked for my admin password and wether I want to replace all the files connected to safari. I said yes (like mentioned in another thread in this forum). I quit Pacifist, logged out and in again but Safari is still missing. If I search for safari using spotlight, the only thing that shows up is the .dmg file.
Does anyone have further suggestions??? I'd really appreciate it.
I am really annoyed about all that and I don't understand how Apple can release a new version of their browser wich is incompatible with their new MAC OSX version...

Try this:
Go to /Library/Receipts and look for an item named Safari311Upd.pkg or something similar, and Trash it (don't empty the Trash yet).
Decompress the Safari 311.dmg file by double-clicking on it. When it's done, open the mounted disk image (if it doesn't open automatically) and drag the pkg file to your Desktop. When it's done copying, close the mounted disk image.
Launch Pacifist and open that package that's on your desktop. Click once on the top package icon in the Pacifist window and then choose Install from the menu, and be sure to replace all items related to Safari that it may find. When it's done, try launching Safari and post back with what happens. If everything is fine again, then you can Empty your Trash.
As for Apple releasing a version of Safari that's not compatible with 10.5.3, that's not the case at all. It is entirely compatible; the fact that the OS is claiming something that doesn't make sense to you is not an indication that it doesn't work or isn't compatible.

Adobe Reader 9 and Mac OSX 10.5 - FDF Issue

I have an issue that only happens when using Adobe Reader 9 and Mac OSX 10.5.
When submitting a form from within a PDF, the FDF that gets sent is completely blank.
Tested on Mac OSX 10.4 with Adobe Reader 9 - no issue
Tested on Mac OSX 10.5 with Adobe Reader 8 - no issue
Tested on Mac OSC 10.5 with Adobe Professional 8 - no issue
It only seems to be a combination of OSX 10.5 and Reader 9. Does anyone have any clue about the settings of these two and what might be happening?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Photoshop cs6 won't allow me to highlight my existing text layers. Does anyone have experience with this problem?

Photoshop cs6 won't allow me to highlight my existing text layers. I select the text tool and the text layer I want to edit, hover over text and each time I attempto to edit a new layer is created. Does anyone have experience with this problem?

Be sure you go to Adobe's Web Site and make sure there are no Updates for CS6
http://www.adobe.com
Remember if you have trouble with a software issue it is the software and not caused by the Mac you are using
Many users simply don't remember when you upgrade software you normally have to go to 3rd party web sites and update software as well.

Does anyone have experience with using a Canon Vixia HF M52 Camcorder with Final Cut Express?

I'm looking to purchase a new camcorder that is compatible with my Mac OS X (10.6.8) that will work well with Final Cut Express 4.0.1 I have downloaded the camcorder support info from Final Cut Express that list many capital camcorders. I've used Sony tape based camcorders in the past. I'm looking for High Definition. I can stick with a tape based camcorder, but thought I would look at the Canon Vixia HF M52 as an alternative, which is listed as compatible. I would like to download directly from the camera to FCE. I film in the wilderness, like having an optical zoom of 20 or greater (yes, I use a small tripod). Does anyone have experience with the Canon Vixia? And if not, but you really like another camcorder that you can recommend, what is it?

The Vixia HF M52 is an AVCHD camcorder and should work perfectly fine with Final Cut Express 4 (4.0.1).
The published "camcorder support list" has never been up to date and I would not take it to be a definitive list of compatible camcorders.
One note, however, the Vixia HF M52 supports a number of different shooting modes. I suggest sticking with the AVCHD 1920 x 1080i / 60 fps mode for use with FCE. FCE does not support progressive modes except in 720p25/30 (which the M52 does not seem to shoot anyway); nor does FCE support any 24 fps modes.

Has anyone got experience of Windows 10 please ?

Hi,
Aplogies if this is the wrong board, I could not find a better one. I'm sure a CL will move it if it is.
I tried a search for "Windows 10" and all it returned was a post about NetProtect.
Has anyone got experience of Windows 10 please ? Is it better or worse than Windows 7, 8 or 8.1 ?
Best regards,
dfenceman

As the "free" upgrade option is available for a year after the launch of Windows 10, I would advise against being an early adopter. There will be the inevitable initial problems that seem to happen to all new Windows operating systems so I would wait for a few months until any problems/glitches etc are ironed out before upgrading your system.

Wise comments, I think.
Upgrading to Vista from XP destroyed a very expensive, and powerful 3d graphics program of mine. It's going to cost another £400+ just to upgrade to the Windows 8 version.
It can be run, with considerable difficulty on Windows 7, in Windows compatibility mode.
For Windows 10, there are similar considerations.
There are posts on the Windows, or perhaps Internet Security websites, assuring us that all will be fixed on the day
Windows states that "most" programs compatible with Windows 7 or Windows 8.1, will be compatible with Windows 10.
Just wait for a while.

Does anyone have experience with error 504 when trying to download a podcast?

Does anyone have experience with error 504 when trying to download a podcast? I've been a subscriber for two years without issue and in the last two days can't download this particular podcast (everything else is working fine - music, other podcasts, etc)

The album was released on the 27th March this year, so the error occurred almost immediately after it was supposedly available.
In the manage pre-orders section of my account, it says AVAILABLE but does not give me any choice over whether to download it, just to cancel it. Is this normal?
iTunes customer services reset my password and tried to download the album themselves, but they also got the 5002 error, so it's been passed off to the engineers. How long does that usually take?
If anyone has any other suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated.

Has anyone tried REAL VNC client for Mac OSX? Is it worth the money?

Has anyone tried REAL VNC client for Mac OSX? Is it worth the money?

you should not be getting that many crashes and unlike others here i don't see any strong reason to go to 7.2 other than to get to 7.2.1. i very strongly suspect you have dodgy AU's (probably around 218 of them) and if you have a look at your crash log it should show you why you are crashing. if you see an AU in the crash log it is telling you it is causing headaches. my guess is that upgrading is not going to solve your problems.
just so you know, if everything is running as it should be logic will hardly ever crash. post up the crashed thread from your crash log next time it happens. also make sure that you have the proapp kit latest version.
i know its deeply frustrating when things are going pear shaped. everyone but everyone feels that the stupid thing should just work and gets the over-whelming feeling that apple is supposed to make products that just work, that we paid good money for that level reliability and if it's going to act like this we might just as well have stayed with cheaper PC's. reality is, once you start throwing thrid party's into the mix it is really hard to keep control of reliabillity. if you took logic back to zero 3rd party plugs and in built audio, it would take fanatical fundamentalist to crash the thing. (having said that - i reckon i could)

Does anyone have experience with Iogear GBU 421? My MacPro has no in-built Bluetooth.

Does anyone have experience with Iogear GBU 421? My MacPro has no in-built Bluetooth.

My 2010 Mac Pro does have built in bluetooth but I use the IOGear GBU421 instead. That's because the built in bluetooth on the mac pro suck$ if you are more than about 3 feet from the machine.
See the descussion: Poor Bluetooth reception and jerky mouse
It works but you need to get used to its "quirks". If you sleep your machine like I do the dongle is off because there is no USB power when sleeping for the dongle. So you need some wired USB device to wake the machine. In my case I use my wired keyboard.
When waking up it doesn't always become paired immediately (maybe 30% of the time). Then you need to flip the mouse switch to get it active. Interesting enough I don't have that problem with the trackpad.
Most of the time, in the rear occasions I reboot my machine, the mouse is ready to go.
Once you get used to the "quirks" it's no big deal. Hey, for about $9 what do you want?
By the way I also always keep a wired mouse attached as a backup.
