Continued OS7 support for mac?

Does Blackberry plan to fix desktop syncing on Mac?
OS7 devices cannot sync via usb.
That's both a security problem and
it limts what you can buy/download.

Thanks guys, this sounds promising. Now, how much pain am I going to cause myself by upgrading the kernel? Should I expect bunches of other things to break all of a sudden? For example, I now have to update a pile of device drivers as well.... ?
Does anyone have experience with this upgrade? Did it go smoothly? I'm just a bit cautious - EVERY time I have messed with anything related to the kernel I have ended up trashing my machine!
Thanks for indulging me.

  • I like Mozilla, would you reconsider support for Mac 10.5.8

    Please reconsider support for Mac 10.5.8, please forward to appropiate persons

    For an unofficial Firefox 24.4.0 ESR compatible version that runs on a PowerPC Mac with OS X 10.4.11 or OS X 10.5.8 you can look at TenFourFox.

  • Does jdk1.6 supports for MAC os also?

    hi,
    does does jdk1.6 supports for MAC os also? becuase we have implemented some of the methods of jdk1.6 in my application.for example to find the free space i used getFreeSpace() method of jdk1.6.like this i used some the methods of jdk1.6.
    please clarify me regarding this?
    how can we free space of windows,linux and mac os with java1.4 or 1.5?
    does it possible with java to find the free space?
    if not with which one can we find the free space windows,linux and mac os ?
    i think with native code it is possible.
    i f any person already impleamented to find the free space of windows,linux and mac o/s please give me the code.
    thanks,

  • The Future of BlackBerry Support for Mac

    I'm sure I'm speaking for a number of people who use BlackBerry products and Mac computers when I ask: what are RIM's plans for Mac support with the upcoming BlackBerry 6 OS and the next generation of smartphones?
    Currently, Mac users are effectively second-class citizens:
    1. We cannot upgrade the OS on our BlackBerry smartphones without using someone else's computer, which would also need to run Windows. Failing that we would need to purchase OS emulation software, just for the purpose of using our phones like Windows users.
    2. Mac users have limited interoperability with the Sync software we were given: contacts still get doubled-up, calendars get lost or deleted.
    In light of the fact that your main competitor, Apple, offers a similar product with seamless integration with both Mac and Windows computers, it begs for something suitably robust. In my opinion, anything short of this borders on ineptitude or contempt.
    My provider's contract for my Bold will run out soon, at which time I will have to reconsider which product I continue with: BlackBerry or Apple. The answer to this depends on what RIM/BlackBerry has in development. I look forward to hearing some feedback about the future of Mac support.

    Yeah, I not only feel that the Mac support sucks, but I'm really upset that we were misled. We were promised support that never materialized. I might investigate whether there are grounds to bring a class action suit against RIM and/or T-Mobile and other carriers who misrepresented this phone.
    At the time I got my BlackBerry, it was a toss-up between it and an iPhone. The iPhone would have cost a lot more and required switching providers, but I wasn't too happy with T-Mobile, and I'm not any happier now. And when I consider all the time I've wasted trying to fix things, I'd have much rather just spent the money and gotten something that worked.
    The BlackBerry was basically me giving T-Mobile one last chance to provide me with an acceptable level of service by providing a better quality phone, and I have to admit that the sound quality and reception were somewhat better than they had been on the Motorola it replaced, but now the Bluetooth radio has died--as they so often do, apparently--and it's out of warranty, so it's pretty much useless to me now.
    The only problem is that I agreed to a 2-year contract extension when I got the Blackberry. I'm wondering what they'll say when I tell them they can have the **bleep** thing back. If they won't warranty them to the end of the contract extension, that seems like a reasonable recourse.

  • 11.1.2 support for Mac OS?

    The 11.1.2 certification matrix for JDev can be found here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/jdev/jdev11gr2-cert-405181.html
    Under the operating system category for the Mac OS the supported version is "Apple Mac OS X 10.6-". Note the dash at the end.
    The 11.1.2 installation guide can be found here: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E16162_01/install.1112/e17074/ojdig.htm#BDCFFEJC
    Under section 1 for the Mac OS it says the supported version is "For Apple Mac OS X Version 10.6 or later".
    Questions:
    a) Which one is right?
    b) If the certification matrix is correct, what's the dash at the end mean? Versions prior to 10.6? Does that rule out 10.6.8?
    c) If the installation guide is correct, is Lion supported?
    Thanks,
    CM.

    Ah the footnote explains it. When I copied the text across to post in this forum, the dash turned into a space, and I typed it back in to be consistent, but I didn't understand why I needed to do this. Now I think in the 11.1.2 certification matrix the dash is in fact the left over underscore for the superscript footnote from the previous notes, probably just copied and pasted in by accident.
    With regards to 10.7, in seeking clarification on the support can you also determine if 10.7 Lion support is planned please, and what Oracle's future JDev support for this platform are. It'll matter to a number of us ACEDs are we're running JDev on MacBook Pros. Obviously we can go with VMs, but the preferred platform is native on Mac OS.
    Thanks for your assistance,
    CM.

  • Free or cheap AoE network drive support for Mac?   [(S)ATA over Ethernet)]

    Hi.
    I recently bought an AoE network drive (this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817113049 ).
    Is there a way to set it up as a shared drive from a Mac, so that other Macs (and possibly PCs) and the LAN can access it simultaneously via its gigabit Ethernet port ?
    I found an AoE driver for Mac ( http://store.shop2degreesfrost.com/aoedrcli-1.html ) only that it's about $200 !!!

    I found out the IP address of the drive, through the router clients list, but what you suggest didn't work.
    Neither the IP itself (x.x.x.x) nor smb://x.x.x.x worked.
    Any other ideas?
    Thanks!

  • Support for mac pro

    I am told that Apple is not supporting Mac Pro from now on
    If this short-sighted abandoning of the professional creative communities is true, what recommendations are there for bullet proof Mac systems from 2012 onwards?
    Picture editors, recording and post production studios, design studios, composers all need a top end machine with an open architecture and no 'designed-in' constraints which feature on all other current Macs.
    Are we back with the build your own approach of a PC?
    Any insights welcome
    Ian

    there are good reasons for wanting to sustain and renew Mac Pro systems.
    And that is exactly what will happen.
    Power: Although the iMac is an extremely powerful machine in its own right, the Mac Pro's performance still kicks the iMac's butt all the way up and down the block. Benchmark performance in Geekbench shows the 12-core 2.93 GHz Mac Pro coming in with an astounding score of 21,789. That's nearly twice the 11,581 score earned by the most powerful iMac, a quad-core 3.4 GHz model.
    Benchmarks only tell part of the story, however. A Mac Pro that's been maxed-out on Apple's online store with as much RAM and hard disk capacity as you can shove into it is a Godzilla of a machine:
        •    Two 2.93 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon processors (for a total of 12 cores)
        •    8 TB of internal storage
        •    64 GB of RAM
        •    Two ATI Radeon HD 5770 with 1 GB of video RAM -- each.
    The best you can do with an iMac via Apple's configuration options?
        •    3.4GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7
        •    2 TB HDD + 256 GB SSD
        •    16 GB RAM
        •    AMD Radeon HD 6970M with 2 GB of video RAM
    The top-end iMac is an incredibly powerful machine by consumer and even professional standards, but a fully-upgraded Mac Pro is practically ostentatious in the amount of raw processing power it can wield. Professional consumers in areas like 3D rendering, video editing, and other extremely processor-intensive applications surely appreciate the much greater power the Mac Pro can afford them.
    Customization:
    The Mac Pro stomps the iMac in the customization department. Folding down the Mac Pro's side door gives you easy and almost instant access to its innards, and virtually every component is simple to swap out. Hard drives in particular are extraordinarily easy to swap in the Mac Pro.
    Contrast that with the iMac, where the RAM is essentially the only user-serviceable component. Swapping out the hard drive on an iMac is a harrowing procedure that requires removing the entire front display -- not something you're going to want to do more than once, if ever. You could argue that the iMac's Thunderbolt capability vastly expands its customization options (and I will, later on), but it still doesn't quite measure up to the amount of customization available to a Mac Pro.

  • Is there still no High Fidelity support for Macs in Captivate 7?

    I understand Mac users are a smaller sgement of the Captivate user population and won't necesarily have all the features right out of the box, but it's been at least 6 months.
    Does anyone know of a viable workaround for importing PowerPoint presentations into Captivate 7?
    Thank you.

    I can import the files, they just look terrible. The font get all screwed up.
    I used to run into this problem with Captivate 6 and Macs, but fortunately we had a PC license at that time. Now we're strictly Mac and the lack of the High Fidelity setting/feature makes it pretty much impossible to import PPT.
    I did end up just recreating the slides from scratch, but that's obviously less than ideal for larger decks. Thank you for the suggestion though.

  • What is the best home finance support for mac?

    Hi- I am new to owning a Mac. I have had ipad and iphone for years.  Does anyone have suggestions for best home finance software?  I have been looking at Ibank 5 as an option. Any concerns with this software?

    Updated for what?  Home accounting principles are pretty much the same now as they were in 2007: Quicken 2007 for Intel (Snow Leopard, Lion, Mt. Lion and Mavericks) for $15 here:
    http://quicken.intuit.com/personal-finance-software/quicken-2007-osx-lion.jsp
    I would still be using my Quicken Deluxe 2002 if it did not require Rosetta, which is no longer included in OS X since Lion.

  • Please consider continuing security support for 3.6.25!

    Ever since i upgraded from ff 3.6 to 3.6.24, i get this error message every time i open firefox: ff cannot install the update. please make sure another version is not already running." then i click ok and the window opens to the home page. i do have 3.6.25 now, so the updates must be working despite this error message.
    The larger question for myself and probably others on older computers is this:
    If security for firefox 3.6 is being discontinued in the 1st quarter of this year, where does that leave us? We can't all afford new computers with the right speed of pentium processors. I have an old computer with an intel processor. Will I and others with intel or lower number pentium processors be unable to continue using firefox? I would gladly buy some memory, but the processor issue I cannot fix.
    i understand that things move with the times, and that the new improved versions are bigger and better. Still, I ask the FF team to please consider those of us who can't afford buying new computers, or keep up with the CPU loads from the latest versions.
    Won't the ff team please continue security for older versions, or come up with something smaller and lighter on resources for us? This upgrade is going to leave a lot of people behind who would rather stick with FF. I'll have to use chrome or opera, which is OK i guess, but FF has been my default browser for many years. I hate the thought of losing FF; it's been the best for years!

    Your computer is fast enough with a 3.33 GHz processor.<br />
    The only problem is the amount of RAM (368 MB), so maybe try to get an extra 512 MB RAM and it shouldn't be a problem to run current Firefox releases.<br />
    Having a sufficient amount of physical RAM is more important than the processor speed.

  • Largest hd supported for mac pro

    What is the largest HD I can put in my mac pro 3 or 4TB?
    Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5), MacPro 2,1-2x3ghz Xeon 12GB RAM

    6Gbits/sec drives will work, but will automatically negotiate a slower transfer speed.
    Since rotating drives do not produce data at anywhere near that rate, 6Gbits/sec (and even 3Gbits/sec) is pure specmanship.

  • I was having problems with Firefox browsing VERY SLOW, and since Mozilla doesn't have support for Mac users, there was no solution to this problem. I have switched to CHROME and WOW this browser if FAST!.

  • Continued Support for OS X Lion...

    After Mountain Lion comes out will Apple keep on providing support got Lion in the coming years like Microsoft does? I find it highly unlikely what with the yearly release schedule from now on... I'm fairly new to the Mac ecosystem btw.

    Apple supports immediately previous releases through two generations. Hence, after the release of Mountain Lion Apple will continue regular support for it, Lion, and Snow Leopard. Security updates only would be provided for Leopard.

  • Mac support for zen mi

    i'm planning on buying an ibook/macbook soon...
    and apparently there's no support for mac with regards to zen micro (or any player for that matter)
    so might need to change to an ipod soon if there is no update for support of macOS.
    don't want to use bootcamp too.

    Yeah, there's an unofficial but working program that is comptabible with Creative players. It is called XNJB and has been confirmed to work on macs (specifically with zen micro and Vision:M). Here's the link:

  • ISE 1.2.1 support for Yosemite?

    Hello all, just curious. I see in the release notes for ISE 1.2.X that support for Mac OS 10.10 (Yosemite) was available via patch 12 on the ISE1.2.0 train of code. That said, I see nothing in the release notes stating any support for Yosemite for any of the patches for ISE1.2.1, the latest being patch 3 released 1 week after ISE 1.2.0 patch 12. Can anyone please advise if Yosemite is in fact supported on 1.2.1 with patch 3??
    Thank you very much in advance for your help
    Jeff

    Jeff,
    OS X 10.10 is supported in ISE 1.2 p11, 1.2.1 p2 and 1.3.
    Patch 12 for 1.2 and Patch 3 for 1.2.1 fix other issues for OS X 10.10, and I recommend updating to the latest patches for these fixes.
    Here is the entry in the Release Notes detailing the fix for 10.10 in 1.2 p 12:
    MacOsXAgent versrion 4.9.5.3 should be used and MacOsXSPWizard 1.0.0.30
    Note that the description for these files denote ISE 1.2 Patch 11/12, ISE 1.3 release and above.  ISE 1.2.1 is not mentioned, but follows the bug fix/release schedule for 1.2, with an adjustment.
    1.2 patch 10 = 1.2.1 patch 1
