Authorware applications run on a Mac

Our language software runs on PC’s. We do have quite a few customers running it on Apple Macs, either via a PC partition or using a PC emulator software.
The following link indicates that Authorware applications will run on a Mac.
http://www.adobe.com/products/authorware/productinfo/macplayer/
The Adobe Authorware Mac Player allows Authorware applications created in Authorware versions 5.1 through 7.0 for Windows to be delivered on the Apple Macintosh platform.
The Mac Player enables Authorware developers to deliver cross-platform learning applications on the Web, LANs, or CD-ROM.
We’ve downloaded the CD-Rom file from the above link viz. -
authorware_7_packager.hqx
which unzips to AW701_Packager.sit.
We publish our applications as an exe file for our PC software. I can’t find any instructions on how to publish as a Mac application incorporating the downloaded Mac player, do we simply publish as an exe with the sit file in the xtras folder?

You need to publish the file withOUT runtime so the result is an .a7r file, then get that .a7r file onto the Mac, along with all other resources (but not the Xtras), then run that .a7r through the Mac Packager.
However, the result will likely not work with newer versions of OS X. I think the last version of OS X that a Mac-packaged Authorware application worked with was...Tiger?
Here's an older post somewhat related:

Also here:

do a find for "Mac Packaging Bits and Bites"
You also need to further unpack the .sit file (which is a 'stuffit' file) ir order to get to the actual Mac Packager and related files inside.

Will carbon applications run on Intel Macs?

Getting a new Mac soon and I still have some old carbon apps. Will they run on the new Intel Macs?
Thanks.

Yes. If they are Universal Binaries then they will run natively, otherwise they'll run under Rosetta emulation.

I keep getting error message, "can't open application PACE because PowerPC applications are no longer supported." I've run Clean My Mac and I still get the error.

Use the Finder "Go" menu while holding down the option key to expose your User / Library folder.
Look in the Application Support folder for PACE items and delete them.

Photoshop Elements 11 installed on Mac Mini OS X 10.9.5. Application running successfully on bot main user and administrative accounts for considerable time with no warning messages. When established a new user account on same computer and try to call up elements receive message “Some ot the application components are missing from the Application directory. Please reinstall the application.” How do I correct this problem without disturbing application in main user account?

Brooks lansing if you create a new Administrator account does the same issue occur? If so then it is likely that there is a file permission failure and file permissions have been set for the existing Users instead of the groups they belong to.
Have you removed and reinstalled Photoshop Elements 11? This may reset the file permissions to the correct state to allow it to work under new accounts.

Hi - I have opened a second log with the same date and name and am now tracking down the problem.
This seems to be the problem for me: Error "Exit 6" or "Exit 7" | Install log | Read, write, system file errors | CS5, CS5.5

Did you have a question?
If the diagnostic in shop indicates same, thats 1000X better than anyone can do online in "diagnosis" (not really genuine diagnosis of course)

What windows applications won't run on a mac?

I'm about to go from PC to Mac and would like to get an understanding of what common applications won't run on a Mac. I'm not interested in things like MS Office and such which I know have Apple version, but I'm interested in Adobe Acrobat, Flash Player, Others such as Garmin, eBay Turbo Lister, Nikon View, etc. Seems to me I've heard that Flash files won't work on Apple Products. Are there apps that will allow some of these to run?
I don't think I have too many to worry about but I'd appreciate hearing what challenges others have had and what to expect in general.

All Office and Adobe products available on both platforms. Flash works fine on a Mac, just not on iDevices like iPads or iPhones.
Others that you've listed just find out if the developers have a Mac version. Do some research.

Build a application in windows system and run it in MAC OS

Hello,
I have built a labview application in windows system. I would like to run it in MAC OS. How can I make it?
I tried to install the labview run time for MAC OS into the computer and run the application, but it cannot be runnable.
I don't know if possible to run a labview application in MAC OS, which is built in windows system.

Hi Jimmy,
nope. LabVIEW doesn't have an inbuilt cross compiler (atleast not for Win vs MacOS)...
Best regards,

How to avoid of application running on Oracle 10g to be copied?

I am a newbie to the security issues, so I need your help, please, where to start / what to read:
I have an application running across many customers on Oracle 10g. I have faced lately that our users
can use their daily backups to establish a totaly new database on a same / different server
and point our application to use it as well.
Is there any way to avoid it? F.e. I thought to use SELECT * FROM v$instance; to get the server instance details, and
in result with some other function to obtain, let say, local server's (WIN2003) details,
such as HD Serial Number, MAC number or so and then to check these values each time user runs the application.
Is it the correct way? What are the basics here at all?
Many thanks in advance to all!

A lot of enterprises, however, actively avoid systems which are locked down to a particular server for very legitimate reasons. If my data center dies in the middle of the night, I sure don't want to have to call your mobile phone so that you can get to a computer, log in to the office network, and get me a new key so that I can finish my emergency failover. If I've got dozens of applications, I absolutely don't want to do that with dozens of different vendors.
It sounds like your problem, though, isn't that users are installing your software on multiple computers it's that they are accessing functionality they haven't licensed. That is generally a much easier problem to solve and doesn't require you to lock anything down to a particular machine. You can create a table LICENSED_CONTENT, for example,
CREATE TABLE licensed_content (
client_id NUMBER,
content_type VARCHAR2(30),
key RAW(128)
)In this case, KEY is, say, a hash (using the DBMS_CRYPTO or DBMS_OBFUSCATION_TOOLKIT packages if you'd like) of the client_id, content_type, and a bit of salt (i.e. a fixed string that only you know). When you sell a license to manage diamond content, you provide a script that inserts the appropriate row in the LICENSED_CONTENT table. When your application starts up, it reads the LICENSED_CONTENT table and verifies the hash before allowing users to access that type of content. This allows legitimate customers to move the software from one system to another but prevents them from accessing new functionality without a new license.

Unable to open/run anything on Mac Book Pro

I have a new Mac book Pro (january)
Running:
Snow Leopard
Duo Core 2.66 Processor (13")
4 Gigs Ram
500 gig Harddrive
Disk Partition:
Windows 7
105gigs
OK as the title states, I can not opne anything, programs will not run, I can not go into folders and only menu I can bring up is when I right click and evne then I can on select any of the options. When I try to open or run anything the mac freezes up sometimes the raindow cursor apperars othertimes the screen just freezes. Also, keyboard bottons work (brightness, volume..dashboard, but agian when it comes up I can't select any gagestes or sticky notes)
I've treid re-boting and nothing, as I'm unable open anything I can't check for updates, uninstall aplliacations, ect..
Also, my windows parition loads up my default when I boot up (not sure why) and I guess its becuase of this I haven't been able to try solutions involving holding specific keys when re-booting.
To sum up, I mac book pro loads proparly, regiesters a USB drive when I plugged it in, as soon as I try to open anything I slows/frezes..rainbow cersur pops up and will not open anything with no messages or anything. Also sometiems everything except my desktop background vanishes off the screen when I double click a folder, application, menu.
I've loaded up windows and that seems to be working as usual. Because I'm in school at the moment I hope I don't wnat have to re-insall OS X, therefore I haven't popoed the OS X disk in as I'm a fraid I might loose my school work.
Lasltly, If I have to re-install the OS how do I get the apps I paid for back without paying of them again?
I tried to describe my situation as best I could, hopefully it helps.

you can easily get the apps you paid for back without paying again as long as it is with the same account, there i a tab in the mac app store that says purchased and you can just go on that tab and press install for the bunch that are there, to get your OSX partition as your main one go to system prefrenses, under system there will be something called startup disk and then you can switch it to mac OSX i hope that helped, and for your applications not working i would reinstall OSX because it would install as an upgrade if you want it to and im sure it will keep most of your info and apps

I have Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 version 9.5.2 running on my mac. I recently reinstalled my mac from a backup and now Acrobat will not update. Thanks Glyn.

Hi GlynIC,
What exactly is happening when you try to update.
How are you trying to update it, using patch or doing a check for update from application itself.

Difference on developing client applications on PC and Mac platform.

Hi,
I would like to know wats the difference on developing client applications on PC and Mac platform.
If i were to create software applications using Javascript, MS SQL Server 2000 and JAVA on Mac platform, would there be any difference from those we created on PC(Windows)?

Write once, debug ewerywhere. There should not be any
difference running pure Java code on difference
platforms.Umm.. "should" is the operative word..
Threads come to mind...as even when they are written as "Pure Java".. the native thread implementation can work harry cary (as opposed to Harry Potter) on your app...

How can I deternmine what apps are running on my Mac Book Pro

Hoe can I determine what applications I have open and running on my Mac Book Pro

1. Use Activity Monitor (it's in the Utilities folder, which is in Applications, or just type Shift-⌘-U in Finder)
2. Show the Dock and look for the "indicator lights".
If they are not there then go to System Preferences > Dock and select "show indicator lights for open applications"

What are the security implications of having JAVA running on my Mac Book Pro?

What are the security implications of having JAVA running on my Mac Book Pro?

Java on the Web (not to be confused with JavaScript, to which it's not related, despite the similarity of the names) is a weak point in the security of any system. Java is, among other things, a platform for running complex applications in a web page, on the client. That was always a bad idea, and Java's developers have proven themselves incapable of implementing it without also creating a portal for malware to enter. Past Java exploits are the closest thing there has ever been to a Windows-style virus affecting OS X. Merely loading a page with malicious Java content could be harmful.
Fortunately, client-side Java on the Web is obsolete and mostly extinct. Only a few outmoded sites still use it. Try to hasten the process of extinction by avoiding those sites, if you have a choice. Forget about playing games or other non-essential uses of Java.
Java is not included in OS X 10.7 and later. Discrete Java installers are distributed by Apple and by Oracle (the developer of Java.) Don't use either one unless you need it. Most people don't. If Java is installed, disable it — not JavaScript — in your browsers.
Regardless of version, experience has shown that Java on the Web can't be trusted. If you must use a Java applet for a task on a specific site, enable Java only for that site in Safari. Never enable Java for a public website that carries third-party advertising. Use it only on well-known, login-protected, secure websites without ads. In Safari 6 or later, you'll see a lock icon in the address bar with the abbreviation "https" when visiting a secure site.
