Arabic support under MAC OS X 10.4; 10.5

hello,
i have an application written in flex, using standart
textfield for inputs. i tested it under windows - it work all fine,
but under max os x 10.4 under safari 1.3 and firefox 3.0 i cant
write arabic characters. in other forms in browser arabic goes
good, but not in flash application. another interesting thing -
copy-paste works fine even for arabic.
i saw other flash applications over the internet and arabic
input works there, what can it be?

Bidi text isn't supported in Flash Player 9 or earlier
(coming in Flash Player 10 though.. see labs.adobe.com for that)
Here's the technote that tells you that:
http://www.adobe.com/go/a767a478.
What that really means is that some people have gotten it to
work. But we don't build Flash Player to support it, and we don't
test for it (and therefore we don't support it in Technical Support
or Engineering). Hopefully you'll have luck on forums..

LabView and Firewire support under Mac OS X

I've been following the Labview upgrades for Mac OS X and noticed that now there is a move towards supporting at least some USB and PCI devices. We have a DAQPad system in the lab that uses Firewire and I was wondering when NI will be supporting these types of devices under OS X under LabView...
I'd love to move all of our equipment off Windows simply for the ease of administering them and using OS X and Labview seems to be a great option except for the limitations on portable DAQ systems since it would appear that LabView isn't supported multifunction DAQ either USB / FW / PCMCIA very well under OS X.

I ordered NI USB-9161 thermocouple ADC. On the NI website it was claimed that the device can be used under windows, Linux and OS-X. However the cd included in the package only referred to Windows (in the read-me file on the cd however it was confirmed the device could be used under Linux and OS-X.)
I have downloaded the OS-X NI-DAQ MX Base from the NI website and installed the package. This package should have the USB driver. According to the docs with the USB device these devices come with stand alone datalogging software. However I can't locate any USB datalogging software anywhere on the NI website. Also one could test at least if the device is recognnized with the experimentation and automation explorer. Again I can't locate this app for the OS-X.
The OS X system detects a device 28082 (vendor: 14627) on the USB bus.
I would approeciate any help to get the USB-9161 working under OS-X.
Thanks,

Printing to Parallel or Serial Port Printers Under Mac OS X?

Sorry for this slightly off-topic subject, but I don't felt like adding the topic under the Apple Printer Forum.
I would like to use an Epson Stylus Color II on a G3 running Mac OS X Jaguar, or a G3/BW running Panther. The problem is that Mac OS X does not support printers attached to the serial port, or that the printers are not supported under Mac OS X.
I have a similar issue with my Laserwriter 310 Select, and Imagewriter.
I did some investigating and it seems that there is an alternative between (a) using the printers on a Mac running Classic OS; or (b) using GimpPrint, an adapter Parallel-USB, etc.
The problem is that I have a tight operating budget, and already several Macs running Classic OS. So it would seem reasonable enough to delegate the printing job to those Macs through Ethernet network.
The (b) solution is appealing because it is more straightforward and provides direct Mac OS X operation, which is handy in case you are printing from Mac OS X applications.
I would be grateful for your help and advice, both in terms of finance and hardware. Thank you!

Here's an eBay auction item that has a good picture of PhoneNet adaptors:
PhoneNet adapters
These are newer Farallons like I have. I have no idea what the "self-terminating locking connectors" are. Maybe Grant knows. Notice that each connector has two phone jacks; you can see the little terminators in a couple of the jacks. These are required if you use only one port. LocalTalk allowed daisy-chaining of computers and devices and that's when you would use both ports.
Here's a listing for an older style Farallon:
<a href-"http://cgi.ebay.com/5-Pack-of-PhoneNet-LocalTalk-Adapters_W0QQitemZ300016 248683QQihZ020QQcategoryZ51046QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohos ting">Old Farallon adapter
I recommend the newer style shown in the first listing; we had some of the old ones at the office quit working. The newer style has been more reliable.
Here is the AAUI-to-ethernet transceiver (adaptor) for older MAcs with only an AAUI port:
Transceiver
I can't find a picture of the Farallon ePrint LocalTalk-to-Ethernet adaptor but the link in my first response shows the currently available unit from Asante. IF you find a Farallon ePrint, make certain it is labeled "LT." There is another with, I think, "SW" that only works with StyleWriter printers.

When will Macs have full arabic support in all it's programs or at least on emails, iWork,

I am a proud Mac user from Kuwait, yet I was realy embariced when my friend tried to use my Mac to edit a few things to his microsoft office word report we were both surprised that their was no Arabic support, he said to me that my laptop was complex & that i'm better off with a hp laptop, any how I'm still a proud Mac user thanks to your brelianr software & hardware, but I had install Windows 7 on my Mac just for the Arabic support, any how I am ready to remove windows from my Mac & become a full Mac computer user as soon as the Arabic support is available so when will it be available ?

MS Word for OS X has never supported Arabic (or Hebrew or any Indic langauge). I think it is in fact the only word processor in the universe which cannot do Arabic on a Mac. Common sense should tell you that the place to complain about that is Microsoft, not Apple.
OS X does have full Arabic support. The best word processor to use is Mellel, but TextEdit, Nisus Writer, and OpenOffice should also work OK. Plus of course Mail, Safari, etc. iWork apps have bugs.

How will adobe Flex SDK 3.2 supports arabic text on Mac Systems

Hi,
We have developed a webapplication using Adobe Flex SDK 3.2. the content in the application is in arabic language. We Arabic text on Mac Systems is unreadable, but the same arabic language/text is perfect and accurate if viewed in Windows systems.
Please help us in finding a solution.
What we need is the arabic text should be accurate and readable on Mac systems.
Thankyou
regards
sandeep

The legacy TextField class in Flash Player -- which is the basis for all text display in Flex 3 components -- does not properly support right-to-left or bidirectional languages such as Arabic. However, the newer Flash Text Engine (FTE) APIs in Player 10, and the Text Layout Framework (TLF) library that is built on top of FTE, support bidirectional text.
If you use Flex 3.X you will have to write directly to the FTE or TLF APIs. If you use Flex 4.X, you can just use the Spark component set, which use FTE/TLF for text display. The MX components in Flex 4 still use TextField by default but can be configured to use FTE/TLF.

ATI Radeon 9000 PRO Mac Edition supported under Tiger ?

Hi all,
we are still using OS X 10.3.x for our venerable G4 AGP mac. Back in 2005 when Tiger was the new OS, we were told that our ATI Radeon™ 9000 PRO Mac Edition graphics would not be supported under 10.4.x. Has this changed? I don't want to upgrade to Leopard yet, but would like to use some Tiger features as Mail 2.0 or improved iSync.
Thanks for any input ...
Asbjoern

So is this why all my fonts are screwed on my G4 MDD dual 1.25 using a ATI 9000 Pro?
Seems as tho it works perfectly fine when i had 10.4.10 but when 10.4.11 was released all my fonts are screwed. Even when booting from a OSX CD. I installed 10.5 and still doesnt work.
looks like i need a 9600.

Under Mac OS 10.5.8, itunes 10.6.3 not running

Under Mac OS 10.5.8, iTunes 10.6.3 not running, demanding Quicktime 7.5.5 or higher. Quicktime 7.6.4 installed according to 'About this Mac,' but QT Player is 7.2.1. How do I fix this so I can use iTunes?

QuickTime 7.5.5 for Leopard - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL27
QuickTime 7.7 for Leopard - http://support.apple.com/kb/dl761
= New version of Quicktime installed but application reports it needs to have that version installed =
Open Application > Utilities > System Profiler and check the Quicktime version in Frameworks vs. the version in Applications. One person had re-installed their operating system. It had kept the newer Player application but had reverted to an earlier version of the underlying support framework files which many applications utilize. Re-installing Quicktime 7.7 took care of the problem. Do this manually, not with Software Update.

Photoshop CS6 has out of memory errors under Mac OS X 10.7.4

Has anyone who has a 2008 MacBoo Pro with the NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT 512 MB graphics card tried running Photoshop CS6 under Mac OS X 10.7.4?
On my MacBook Pro, PS CS6 launches; however, any action results in an out of memory error. The CS6 versions of After Effects, Premiere Pro and Illustrator all launch and run as expected under 10.7.4.
If I switch to my Mac OS X 10.6.8 startup volume, Photoshop CS6 runs as expected.
I have support cases open with Adobe, NVidia and Apple. Adobe thinks I need to update the display drivers. NVidia says display drivers must be provided by Apple. Apple says that the display drivers are current. The Apple support agent said that he can escalate the case if the issue can be reproduced on more than one computer.
I'd love to keep my MacBook Pro running another year or so without having to reboot in 10.6.8 every time I need to use Photoshop. I'd stay with 10.6.8, but of course iCloud requires 10.7.4.
I have not tried 10.8 yet, but it's on my troubleshooting list.
Also, PS CS6 runs fine under Mac OS X 10.7.4 on my 2010 iMac.
Thanks in advance for any feedback.

It looks like it was indeed the display driver for the NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT 512 MB graphics card inside my 2008 MacBook Pro.
It seems that this driver only gets installed if you upgrade from Mac OS X 10.6.7 to 10.7.4 while the startup drive is connected to the MacBook Pro itself. I had updated while the startup drive was connected to my 2010 iMac. Accordingly, I could have reinstalled Photoshop 100 times without it ever launching as expected. Having used the external startup drive with three other Apple computers (all 2010 or newer machines) with Photoshop CS6 launching as expected, I had just assumed (mistakenly) that it would work as expected with my 2008 computer.
So, this was simple enough to resolve by upgrading the OS on the external startup drive while having it connected to the MacBook Pro. In hindsight, this makes perfect sense.

How do I get firewire support under XP running on OSX 10.8.2?

I have an old Nikon film scanner that is bundled with Nikon scanning software that requires Windows XP. The film scanner has only a firewire cable. My iMac is running OSX 10.8.2. I installed Oracle's (free) VirtualBox and was able to get XP running on my mac. However, I soon discovered that VirtualBox has no firewire support. That sent me searching for other methods of running XP under OSX. I thought Apple's Parallels 8 software would do the trick but I don't believe it supports firewire either.
Can anyone give me an idea of what software would allow me to run XP with firewire support under OSX 10.8.2?
Another question: Do those firewire-to-USB adapter plugs work and are they safe to use?
For those who have familiarity with film scanners, VueScan is not a desirable option for me because it does not fully support Digital Ice, while Nikon's software does.
Thanks..

Reproducible Shockwave player error under Mac OSX 10.6.3

I develop Shockwave "jigsaw" puzzles with Director. Sample at kayingleside.com. My clients are experiencing problems with the most recent Shockwave player under Mac OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard. Play a jigsaw at the above web site to experience the problem.
When you click on a puzzle piece it vanishes. You can drag the mouse around as you would to move the puzzle piece but it is difficult to position correctly as the piece is invisible. When you release the mouse button the piece reappears correctly in it's repositioned location.
I can reproduce this behavior myself on a Mac 2 x 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon. 2 GB 800 MHz DDR-2 FB-DIMM; OSX Snow Leopard 10.6.3; Shockwave player 11.5.9r620. The problem does NOT appear when playing the jigsaw puzzle within Director 11 under Snow Leopard nor when running OSX 10.5.8.

Getting an HP 2840 to scan under Mac OS X Mountain Lion

There are few success reports to install the 10.5-driver for the HP Laserjet 2840. One problem is, that OSX removes the kernel extension after installation, because it cannot be installed correctly. Even after manually loading the extension I wasn't able to get the scanner working again. Starting the installer and the setup assistant with administration rights doesn't help either.
Any other tips to get it working? My guess is, that the kernel extension isn't needed anyway, as it contains to code - it probably simply keeps OSX from grabing the USB device of the Laserjet, which isn't required for network operations anyway.
I really wonder, why HP changes the scanning drivers for basically every model. It cannot be too complicated to create one driver which is able to communicate with all HP scanners (given the basic idea, that all scanners simply use the same scanner protocol).
Sadly, VueScan doesn't support the scanner under Mac OS, so there's currently no way to get it working - I was able to scan via USB using the windows drivers under VMWare but that's obviously no alternative :-/.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi,
I've put together a minimal scanner driver by taking the necessary components from the old OSX 10.5 installer (v8.2) and building an installation script/instructions.
Was worth it for me because I have a number of these **bleep** 2840s...
The good news is its compatible with Mac OS X 10.8.3 and the latest printer drivers (v2.14)
You don't even have to re-install the printer software as the scanner software does not conflict
I've uploaded the driver installation script, binaries and instructions to a dropbox
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8719551/HP%20Color%20LaserJet%202840%20Mac%20OS%20X%2010.8%20Mou...
Just download, run the install script, and setup your scanner.
YOU MUST RUN THE INSTALL SCRIPT FROM THE TERMINAL AS PER THE INCLUDED INSTRUCTIONS.

Anyconnect client under Mac OS X

Hi,
I've got a short trouble running anyconnect client 2.3.254 under Mac OS X 10.5.6.
If I use it to connect an ASA 8.0.4 through a proxy (squid) it doesn't work.
If I use Win XP, with same proxy, it works.
If I don't use any proxy, with my Mac OS X client (on another WAN access) it works too.
So, is anyconnect client supported over proxy server on MAC OS X ???? or did I miss something ?
Thanks for help ;-)
Regards,
Olivier

I think you can connect anyconnet client with MAC OS.
The AnyConnect client image for MAC OSX is a DMG disk image installation package. To install the AnyConnect client on a System Running MAC OSX, follow these steps:
Step 1 Transfer the installation package file to the desktop and double-click the file. A window opens showing an icon representing the installation package file.
Step 2 Double-click the icon to initiate the installation. A dialog window appears asking you to select the device on which to install the client.
Step 3 Select a device and click Next. A dialog to accept the licensing agreement (EULA) appears.
Step 4 Accept the license agreement and click Next.
The installation is complete.

Serial Ports, is it supported on MAC & Linux ??

Hey all...
After a long process of doing an application that runs a serial port connection to a server and upload a file to it, i could'nt find the comm package that i could download for both MAC and Linux.... There is one for Windows and Solaris though... So i was wondering, is serial ports not supported by MAC and Linux. And if not, what other than the comm package can i use to have serial ports on those 2 platforms .......
Thanks

Yes, there is third party support for linux and MacOS-X. It's released under GPL and can be found here -> http://www.rxtx.org/
