Bible study software done right: ISA2

The reason I write this post is that sometimes it's hard to find the right tool for the right job, and this software isn't ranking too high on SERPs.
Having struggled with buggy Xiphos recently, I'd like to raise awareness on alternatives: ISA 2 is an amazing software, it's free, but needs to run through wine.
Introduction
ISA (Interlinear Scripture Analyzer) is an Interlinear Bible and Concordance Search tool.
Etymological and idiomatic sublinears are closing the gap between translations and the original Bible text. ISA is designed to be dynamic and transparent, hereby enhancing objectivity. ISA has unique functions to present the interlinear renderings in a concise, systematic way and showing the connection between them. This will greatly improve word studies. Even possible errors in any of the databases are easily detected by this method.
The objective of Scripture4all (read "Scripture for all") is to make the original Scriptures accessible for a broad public by developing tools to bridge the gap between the original Bible texts and Bible translations.
Xiphos is great for comparing between more versions, has more resourses, but this program goes far beyond what Xiphos has to offer. IMHO, it's Bible study software done right.
Doing a packer -Ss Bible, doesn't give you too much despite the 15 hits. If I'm not the only one here appreciating such software, maybe we could help arch users stumble upon this blessing by including it into the AUR.

I just failed a second time to contact the author on a different address, but I can't get around rfc-ignorant.org. Any ideas ?
Until I get an answer from the developer, those installing manually might find the following information useful.
Known issues:
Running ISA from the command line, can be a bit tricky, but this works for me:
bash -c "cd \"$HOME/.wine/drive_c/ISA2/\" ; env WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wine/ wine \"ISA.exe\""
As already noted somewhere above, rendering hebrew isn't perfect. Among the few fonts that display niqqudim (vocals) too, none are willing to render them in their proper place, though Ezra SIL, Frank Ruehl CLM, and particularly Deja Vu Sans do a more acceptable job, ALL of them fails to display a final niqqud, thus you can't tell whether a final shin is read "s" or "sh" for example. So if anyone is trying to learn hebrew, take note of this bug as you'll be mislead on a few occasions.
This is a wine issue, as leafpad renders well. Does anyone know how to fix this ?...
Note, only one interlinear level displays niqqudim: WLC_v.

I don't how complicated this would be to build, but it would be so very awesome if someone could take up the task.

I think I have a working solution for a system-wide install with shared books.
I don't build from sources (the build.xml only had the target build-installer, and that didn't work too well - lots of missing variables and stuff when run outside of netbeans), I used the installer directly. The installer software can be used via cli, and options can be read from a file. So, I use the installer directly.
It's a good idea to download the installer seperately from download.com (here), the KIYUT server is kinda slow.
To get system-shared books to work (so that the books can be installed with the package), I hacked the startup script to append the system-wide path to the per-user setting the first time it's run. If the user removes the system wide directory it ought to stay removed.
I'll post the PKGBUILD and the patch here, please test it. If you want to maintain it, you can add it to AUR. If you want me to add it, I'll do it, but I won't promise 1st class support

Is it legitimate to call my Bible study software as MacBible?

I am a developer of a Bible study software. Can I call it MacBible and not be sued from Apple?

Ok but no one here can answer a legal question. This is a user to user forum, not Apple.
Pardon the pun but you need to talk to a higher power.

Bible study software

Anyone have a good bible study aplication you can recomend. I not sure if this is where this queation belongs.

You're correct, this isn't the place. However:
1. My apologies for lumping Mr. Schroeder with the great majority of folks who have not read the Bible start to finish, he may well in fact have.
2. Ditto the above.
3. My best answer to "they" would be the ministers and priests Jefferson was referring to in his "Eternal Hostility" letter to Dr. Rush.
IMHO, a well rounded person would want to study both sides of the Bible question, possibly by reading Robert Ingersol, Thomas Paine, Steve Allen, or Bruce Chilton. I freely admit this was not part of the original question.

I have the Olive Tree Bible Study app, which is one of the best tools I have ever used for study and within the app I purchased several resources/concordances that are very useful (plus they had up in the wallet, but very worth it)
I had it on my iPad 2 and when I went to back it up on my iMac, the app doesn't populate in the apps tab. This also applies to some of my games but I'm not that worried about losing those.
I am trying to get those particular apps on my iPad Air.
Has anyone else come across an issue like this?
Thanks and I appreciate anyone's time.

Go into the App Store from your iPad and select Purchased, then select Not onThis iPad, and download the apps that you want. Because you already own them you can download them again for free ... provided that you are using the same Apple ID as you used when you originally purchased them.
In fact when I look up the Olive Tree app, it seems like the main app is free in any case.
Once you are in the app look for some option to restore purchases.

Ned, thanks for responding. Internet access is not the problem, I will have a tower computer connected to Comcast.
Isolating the laptop from the internet is the issue.

Software Update Right Now Not Working!

I know there is a Software Update right now, its Update 1 for Java for OS X Lion updating java to SE6 to 1.6.0_29
So I run Software Update on my Mac and it advises all software up to date!
I checked the version of Java I have, its the old version.
So what is going on, is there a problem with the Software Update software on my Mac, why dosen't the update show up on my Mac, it has done for the past three years so why not now.
Or is it something which is being rolled out around the world to stagger the strain on servers, they never did this before?
Or should I just update direct from the Apple Update page?
Thanks
Phil

Apple did some maintenance, maybe it has influenced the Software Update as well.
You can, of course download the installer from Apple Downloads and install it http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1421
I updated yesterday without problems using Software Update.

My macbook pro is currently running on version Mac OS X 10.6.8. I need version 10.7 or above to run a particular study software. How do I obtain this upgrade?

My macbook pro is currently running on version Mac OS X 10.6.8. I need version 10.7 or above to run a particular study software. How do I obtain this upgrade?

First check that your Mac meets the System requirements for Lion...
Lion Tech Specs > http://support.apple.com/kb/SP629
See here to Buy it...
http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6106Z/A/os-x-lion
Be sure to make a Backup of your Current System Before Upgrading...
Also... Check here for compatibility of 3rd party Software you may be using... Also note that Rosetta is no longer supported in Lion.
http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
You should also consider more RAM... Lion is a hungry beast...
You can use these Links to check which RAM is suitable for your Mac...

If in the UK... Go to http://www.crucial.com
It is Important to get the Correct and Matching RAM
Those sites also have videos on how to Install RAM should you need it...

The new iPhone software don't connect the all facebook friend with contact

The new iPhone software don't connect the all facebook friend with contact

When you go to Settings > WiFi, does it show that you are connected to your WiFi network? (If connected, a check mark will appear next to your network name.)
Where does the "loading" statement appear? How do you just get loading if you are connected to the Internet via cellular data network?
Have you tried any other application that uses the Internet like Yelp or a bank app? What happens there?
I wouldn't try the 5.01 update until you solve the connectivity problem! It's a very large update.
You cannot compare yours to your sister's. Just deal with yours.
Observations that may or may not help in your case:
1) Sometimes WiFi doesn't work well even if connected if the cell signal is very weak or "o" (vs 3G) shows.
2) Sometimes connection via cellular does not work if connected to WiFi but WiFi signal is very weak.

How is the Updating of the iPhones Software done

How is the Updating of the iPhones Software done?
Does it update the software automatically, if I have "Sync Automatically" turned on in iTunes? Or will it "Ask Me"? (using Mac OS)

It will let you know there is an update and ask if you want to update.

Wireless issue: some online software don't work

First of all, hello to everyone and sorry for my English. I'm from Spain.
I have what I think is a strange issue in my MacBook. When I'm connected by Airport wireless, I'm unable to use some online software, although I'm able to use other online programs. I mean, I can use Firefox, Mail, Adium, Google Earth, Cyberduck, Coda, Transmission, Zattoo. But Safari, iTunes Store, Fluid, AppFresh, RSS desktop-based readers (Mainly NetNewsWire and Vienna), Microsoft Messenger aren`t working. They are just unable to connect to the net. So I can't find any pattern, and apps don't give me any kind of clue. Only iTunes displays a message when I'm trying to enter iTS: " Network connection have been refused" (not exactly: I translate from Spanish).
I have to say it happens in all kind or wireless networks: with one or another router, with or without security, big ones (like the one of my university) or little ones (my home), and so. Then the problem is in my computer, isn't it? But I don't know where.
Well, I'm with this problem since I installed Leopard, 5 or 6 months ago, and I've been looking for answers in forums, blogs, etc. I haven't found anything related to, so today I decided to ask directly. Thanks for your attention.

Thanks for your answer, but I'm afraid I didn't explain well my issue. When I say "Airport" I mean Airport Extreme card, the internal one. I connect to internet by router. As I said, the problem remains with all kind of wifi routers and IS providers.
But you gave me the idea of checking my Airport card firmware and it's 1.3.5. I really don't know if is it old or what because, by the way, Software Update is one of the apps that doesn't work by wifi. Anyway I haven't found anything interesting for me in Apple - Support - Downloads related to Airport Extreme, only firmwares and updates for Tiger users. So I'll run Software Update by ethernet amd install OS X 10.5.4, but I'm afraid it's no gonna provide any help, as I have this problem since 10.5.1.
Thanks again.

Uninstall is incomplete and I need to reinstall software - don't know what to do

Hello,
After cleaning my hard drive Illustrator couldn't open any of its own .ai files and it was suggested in the forum that I reinstall CS6. So I did an uninstall in Vista but found more CS6 lurking around in other directories, including fonts, .dll files and more. How do I proceed with a clean uninstall? Adobe has a history on my systems of making a mess and creating conflicts within itself and previous versions of itself. I'm afraid to just delete the files and proceed. My system just gets slower and slower. I have CS2, CS3 and (had) CS6 on my Windows system.
I bought CS6 about 3 weeks ago. Everybody here knows what it costs. I realize it's not the most current version but if they're still selling it they should support it. The sales rep promised I could get good support and gave me an 800 number for tech support. When I called the 800 number I was told this product was no longer supported by phone. Called another number. Same rejection but as an added bonus it hung up on me. Went online to chat for help. "Chat is not available right now." No explanation offered or info as to when it will be open, if ever.
Here I am with $2000 worth of software that's not working and no where to get help. Experts, help! I need some experts.
Thanks...

Software don't want to open anymore...

Hi,
I used to work a lot with Mac long time ago. I still have a Mac, but since I have installed Mac OS 10.3.9, I haven't work that much. So, I don't know anymore how to debugg the computer.
Now I have problem, and don't know what to do. I cannot open anymore Safari, Software update, and more. When I click on Icon in system preference is the same. I try to open these software, the cursor turns like searching, but it can stay like that all day long. I have to force quit to stop it.
What can I do?
Thanks

Hello dedine,
Exactly which model Mac G4 is it?
What is the Processor speed?
What size is the Hard Drive, and how much space is available?
How much RAM is installed, and is it original or added?
What happened between the last time the Mac functioned successfully, and when it didn't?
Have you made any changes, like upgrading the system, updated or installed any applications or programs, etc?
Have you installed, deleted, or disabled any Fonts?
Have there been any unusual occurences, like freezes, crashes, power outages, etc?
Are you able to startup from the system install disc to run Disk Repair?
THESE ARE THE STEPS FOR USING DISK UTILITY TO REPAIR YOUR HD
1.Insert the System Install disk, Mac OS X CD-ROM disk, or Restore DVD disk, then restart the computer while holding the C key. Use the System disk, of the OS, that is currently installed.
2.Once started up from CD or DVD, on the Menubar at the top of the screen, choose Disk Utility from the Installer contextual menu.
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from disc to access Disk Utility.
3.Click the First Aid tab.
4.Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5.Select your Mac OS X volume, if necessary.
6.Click Repair. If DU reports errors it has fixed, re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported.
7.Repeat steps 5 & 6, but select the Hard Drive this time. It's usually the first listed with the manufacturer's model number. Make note of the S.M.A.R.T. status.
8.When finished, select Quit Disk Utility from the Installer menu.
9.Select Quit Installer from the Installer menu.
10.In the resulting pop-up window, choose restart.
11.After the computer has restarted, you can eject the CD.
Have you run Repair Permissions?
TO REPAIR PERMISSIONS ON THE STARTUP DISK
1.Open Disk Utility, located in Applications/Utilities, and select the startup disk in the left column.
2.Click First Aid.
3.Click Verify Disk Permissions to test permissions or Repair Disk Permissions to test and repair permissions. (I never "Verify". Just run "Repair".)
Rerun <b<RP</b>, until the only messages reported, are listed here Spurious Permissions Errors Using: 10.3.x, authored by Michael Conniff.
When "Repair Permissions" is complete. Quit "Disk Utility".
Is the Mac shutdown overnight, or does it run 24/7?
Have you ever run any routine Maintenance procedures, like the suggesstions in the articles linked to below?
