Fscommand problem on Intel Mac

Hello!
I am new to the forum and have a big problem.
I am trying to execute an application with fscommand on a
Intel Mac usin the latest standalone player (9.0.28)
This is the code:
fscommand("exec", "myapp.app");
myapp.app resides in a subfolder called "fscommand"
This does not work in the projector file created by the
9.0.28 player. It works in the flash 8 player under rosetta, but
then I lose to much performance. fscommand works fine on windows in
all players.
Can anyone help me with this? Is it a bug, or is it due to a
undocumented change in the flash player?
My swf source file is in flash 8 format actionscript 2.0.
Best Regards
Rune

We found r28 was quite different under the hood from older 9
players,
but I'm not sure what the work around is using a standard
projector.
You can make this work with Mac version of mProjector it adds
a
executeApplication call.
it is documented here
http://www.screentime.com/software/mprojector/docs/index.html#mSystem
to use it you just install the mProjector mxp file add the
call, export
your swf then convert it with the mProjector builder
application

Installation problems on Intel Mac. claims PPC

I'm trying to install the current Flash Player 10.2 on my Macbook 6,1 (Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.26GHz) with 4GB RAM, running OSX 10.6.6
Browser is Firefox 3.6.13 {Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-US; rv:1.9.2.13) Gecko/20101203 Firefox/3.6.13}
I got the installer from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
The installer puts up a message: "Devices with PowerPC processors are no longer supported"
How can I convince the installer that this isn't a PPC machine ? Why might the installer think so ?

Hi, What browser are you using to try to Uninstall/Install FP vs 10.2? And when you Install 10.1, what browser are you using?
There is no Flash Player support for a 64bit browser. I have been very busy on the Forum and have not had time to check on the 10.3 beta. Not sure what it refers to. Have you? Just asking as I've seen it mentioned on another thread, but it's from those complaining about 10.2 not working. Why anyone would want a beta Installed unless they are involved in the testing and are Developers I don't know.
Any beta is a work in progress, so as long as a user is aware of that it's ok with me. Microsoft has their IE9 in beta too, but with an beta one can expect problems.
Since the 10.2 is not Installing, then I don't think you'd receive any code, do you?
I'm not as familiar with the Mac, but is it possible to upgrade the OS from a PPC to the edition you have now?
I'm going to check a couple of things while you let me know on the above browser info. Also any comments would be welcome:-)
Thanks,

Rsync: Problem on Intel Mac

Hello together,
I want to use rsync to backup files between my Intel Mac (iMac 20'') and my PPC Mac (G4 450 sawtooth).
This works except that the ressource forks and other files starting with ._ can not be transfered.
rsync -aE /sourcpath remotehost:/targetpath/
I keep getting lots of errors like
file has vanished: "/path/._filename"
file has vanished: "/path/._filename"
file has vanished: "/path/._filename"
The files are transfered, but the ressourcforks are not.
How can I solve this?
Best regards
Martin

I don't know if this is what is causing your problem, but I have seen these types of errors using 'rsync' on 10.4 where the source and destination are on different volumes, and one volume has ACLs enabled, whereas the other doesn't. Once, while doing an incremental backup, 'rsync' actually went and stripped off every single resource fork in my backup - not just those of files that would have been modified since the previous backup. I didn't bother to keep ACLs enabled long enough to troubleshoot after that.
Both ACL support, and support in various command line utilities for preserving resource forks or file attributes are features newly introduced in 10.4 - it looks like there still may be some kinks to work out with respect to how they interact...

Template problem on Intel Mac

Hi All, I just jumped ship,and have started developing on and working with Mac's, so go easy on me!
I am trying to use the "Wedding Classic Cover" template (First of three) and when I drag an asset to the "Content Here 1" area on the menu, it will not display, but it will show up in Drop Zone panel. I can still set the start Frame and I can see a preview, but it will not show up in the menu, nor when I simulate. Also, the border (the nice frame "FrameGold2.pox" will not show up, but the preview of it will.
Anyone have any ideas? Could this be bacause I am working on an Intel Mac and I have the standard DVDSP4 version?

802.1X wireless network problems with Intel Mac

To login to the wireless network at my school I have to use an 802.1X connection authenticating with TTLS, TLS, EAP-FAST and PEAP protocols.
This works intermitently. Some days my MacBook logs on quickly with no problems at all but most days it has a self assigned IP address and I can't use the internet. My friend also uses a MacBook, which acts in the same way. Some days she manages to get on, some days I can get on and some days we are both on together. The problem is really irritating!! We get no support from the techs as we are the only Mac people in the school. The rest of the staff have PCs. The techs are just trying to use this issue to justify why letting people lease Macs is a problem and stop other staff from leasing them in the future.
I did find a solution at
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=425113&tstart=0
but this was written in 2006 and I wonderered if this was still valid.
Can anyone help? please???

I am a tech at our school and we have the same problems. still trying to find a permanent solution!
If you turn airport off, then turn on again, (from system prefs > network) does it change from "self-assigned IP Address" to "Authenticated via PEAP)?
the macs are more and more popular at our school, so its becoming more and more of an issue.
cheers,
Harry

Fonts on Intel Mac

I recently upgraded from a G3 to an iMac , and am thrilled with the computer. I also purchased a brother laser printer through the Apple Web site with the understanding that it was compatible with the computer, and it appears to be working fine. HOWEVER, I'm finding that while working on a magazine in QuarkXPress, when I print it out the letters crash randomly. Another designer told me this is a problem with Intel Macs and fonts, that I'm going to have to replace ALL my fonts with open type fonts. This is a HUGE problem for me.
1) Is it true that the older fonts are not going to work perfectly on the new Intel Mac, and
2) Is there any other way around this except buying and entirely new font library (which i can't afford)?
Thanks.

I would either look into an upgraded printer driver or a new printer.
I just purchased a new all-in-one printer because my good old (reliable) HP printer simply did not work with my new iMac.
My new printer is so much easier, I don't even give it a second thought.
But seriously, a new printer could easily be the fastest solution to your problem - it worked for me!

Can't update acrobat 8 to 8.1, on Intel Mac

I can't update acrobat 8 to 8.1, on Intel Mac. I says I need to reactivate plug-ins. Version 8 won't run Distiller.

Hi Kristan,
I checked and fileVault has been off and I tried uninstalling. After reinstalling when I went to upgrade either it didn't do any good, gave me the message it couldn't upgrade because of some plug-in/ETC. or Acrobat was grayed out when I went to select it as the program location to upgrade.
I did find the blog, pasted below, but doing all this hasn't helped.
I will try again but I need to know, should I allow the autoupdaterer do the update or should I do it manually? Or any other suggestions you may be able to give me.
Thank you
John

Distiller 8 problem with Intel Mac?
Julie Gallagher - 09:54am Dec 3, 2007 Pacific
I just upgraded my desktop Mac in order to install CS3. I'm already running CS3 on a G4PB with no problems. Aside from the Intel/PPC difference, both computers have the same setups and files, both currently running OSX.4.11. (The new computer was set up by migrating setups from the old computer via firewire, then CS3 was installed.)
On the new computer, when I try to distill a file with Distiller 8, the file doesn't process (error message below). The same file processes OK with Distiller 7 on the new computer, also with Distiller 8 on the G4PB. The results are the same whether I'm using prebuilt or custom Distiller settings.

OK - solved it (on my Mac at least)...
Firstly, what I think the problem is is that the 8.1.2 update do not mention the word English - I got onto this clue when I studied the installer log for 8.0 Professional - it showed that distiller was only installed to 8.1 - I was baffled and examined the files at length, then went through this...
1. Uninstall Adobe Acrobat Professional
2. Go to the Adobe site and download Bridge Start Meeting 1.0.1 (I believe the uninstaller crashes components in this and if you install without in firstly installed - the installer will ask you for the disk containing it).
3. Remember this is the install and fix for an APPLE MAC Intel mac...
4. Install Acrobat Professional 8.0 from your original CS3 DVD
5. Go to Adobe site and download Acrobat Professional Update 8.10 (file name should read AcroProUpd810_efgi.dmg, and I believe the efgi bit is English, French, German, Italian, and as it clearly mentions English I think I (and many like me) messed up by using the 8.1.2 update which doe NOT mention English and obviously does not update Distiller, in fact, I think and feel - it probably corrupts it...
I hope this helps those suffering like me (it took ages to work this one out), tied now - I need a beer....

Oops - sorry - the text from the 8.1.2 release...
"This multilingual update can be applied to Brazilian Portuguese, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, Italian, Norwegian, Spanish, and Swedish versions of Acrobat 8 Professional. For more information, see the technical document describing the Acrobat 8.1.2 update in the Support Knowledgebase."
No mention of English - only Multiple Languages...

Where did you see that text at? The 8.1.2 is for English as well as 14 other languages.

AMT8/Unitor8 intel mac

Hey all my first post here, i'm upgrading my ibook shortly to either mac pro or mac book pro and i need some info on AMT8 and UNITOR8. Does anybody know if they will run with out any problems on intel mac?? If not is there something being done to get a universal driver happening. It would be a real shame to have to ebay these 2 awesome timekeepers.

They work fine with intel macs. I run a Unitor8MkII + 3 AMT-8's off my MacBook Pro.
The 'gotcha' is that the only way to get the drivers is from a Logic Pro 7.2.x install. They're not available for download on their own.

Text-wrap problem ID CS3 on Intel Mac

I've recently been upgraded to an Intel Mac workstation running Leopard and for the most part, the transition has been smooth. However, I just noticed today that I cannot get "detect edges" to work on a text wrap around an object with a transparent background in a placed Photoshop file. The detect edges only works if I have a white background. I've never had this problem before, so I wonder if it's a result of my new computer. I use this function of text wrap constantly, and I'm hoping someone knows if this is a known bug and if there is a work around.

You don´t have to use detect edges feature for extracted PSD-image.... just select a proper Contour Options Type, Alpha Channel for instance.

New Intel Mac Mini Start-up Problems

I've recently purchased a new Intel Mac Mini (my first Mac after switching from a PC). Several times (probably once a day), the mac mini won't start-up.
I've noticed it happens after I've used iPhoto or iDVD. The mini becomes busy and performance seems to slow. After the software has finished its task, I can exit the application fine and shut down the mini.
When I then go to boot the mini, the little blue light comes up, but nothing else happens. It's almost as though it's in sleep mode (which it isn't). I've tried different ways to wake it using the keyboard, mouse and start button, but nothing.
The Mac Mini will only start-up again if it is unplugged from the mains and left for several minutes.
Has anyone else had this problem? Is there something I'm doing wrong that my lack of Mac knowledge may not be aware of?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I have been frustrated by the same issue. My (admittedly non-professional) diagnosis is that the problem is related to heat build up. I am able to boot normally only after forcing a hard shut down and waiting for "a while" (5 minutes is not enough, 30 minutes does the trick). Thus my hypothesis that an appropriate cooling down period is needed.
Any similar thoughts? I'm calling Apple today...

Intel Mac Install Problems

Is anyone else out there running a new Intel Mac with 10.4.8?
The problem comes when I go to install CF MX 7.2. I tried all the
configurations possible for developer (stand alone, with JRun, on
top of J2EE) and it just won't install right. It gets to the part
where it says 'it installed okay first part, but to finish the
install check firewall ports, etc. and make sure CF is running.'
Anyway, I can never get CF to run. It tries to, and can't. The
annoying part is I have to manually uninstall the crap too each
time, as the 'uninstaller' gets so far and asks me for my admin
password (not the CF admin password, RDS password, but the actual
admin pass for my account). I enter it and it keeps telling me it
is wrong. So you can't unistall with the unistaller. Funny thing
though is when I go to just trash the whole app manually the system
asks for my admin pass and it takes it just fine.
So, my main question is: Has anyone gotten CF MX 7.2 to
successfully install and run on an Intel Mac? Or will it only work
on an older PowerPC? (All my other Macromedia/Adobe stuff is
running just fine since I upgraded from the PowerPC. It was a
little slow at first, but I threw a bunch of ram at it. I cannot
get CF to install at all though...)
Anyone with advice or insight please respond...
Thanks.

Problems with Safari, Acrobat, Intel Macs, and Life Cycle Form Mgr.

Here is my problem:
A Mac user using 10.4.10, with Acrobat Standard Ed v.7.0.9 installed,
is having to approve purchase forms through Adober Life Cycle Form Manager
through Safari 2.0.4. When trying to approve the PDF forms, it tells her
she needs to have Acrobat v.7 installed, and only shows a white page.
Went back and launched Acrobat 7.0.9, and did the "Detect and Repair"
setting to verify the Adobe PDFViewer plugin was installed.
Said it was, checked the Library/Internet Plugins folder and it was.
Launched Safari, Safari's list of plug-ins does not show it as being installed.
Trashed the Safari .plist file, relaunched Safari, same thing.
Read on the Apple site that people were experiencing similar issues,
Read on Adobe's site that for Intel Macs, should be using v. 8.01.
Downloaded the 8.01 Acrobat Reader and installed it.
re-launched Safari, success, it says the plugin, v.8.01 is installed.
Go back to Adobe Life Cycle Forms Manager, go to view a PDF,
at 100% screen size, PDF shows correctly. Zoom in on details,
PDF goes blank, will not show details. Zoom back out,
PDF goes white page, no info displayed.
My Questions:
1. is it an issue with Adobe Life Cycle Forms Manager and Safari on Intel Macs?
2. Is there a way to get a proper plug in for Safari, so that Acrobat will read the PDFs
instead of the default Preview?
thanks in Advance

anybody running ALCFM and Acrobat 8 with an Intel Mac,
are you running into issues with approval of PDF forms?

Intel Macs & G5s: Problems when moving projects between them

An earlier post* suggesting complete compatibility between the latest FCP in a G5 and in an Intel Mac may be in error.
We are experiencing continuing crashes using our Intel Mac when we work on projects that were originally either imported or partially rendered in the G5.
It has gotten to the point where we feel we must keep projects completely isolated from each other: Either it is a "G5 project" or it is an "Intel Mac" project. Moving projects back and forth between the two leads to problems such as:
The Intel Mac does not recognize any renders done in the G5...
The Intel Mac crashes when rendering 'G5' projects...
The Intel mac crashes when compressor goes to work to export sequences to mpeg...
The G5 works fine with Intel Mac-originated material: It is only in the Intel Mac where we have these problems.
Both systems are up-to-the minute on their OS, security updates, and FCP versions. We are using variously 720p/30 from the JVC GY-100UA and 1080i/30 from the Sony Z1U.
Our questions are:
Is anyone else experiencing similar problems moving projects between a G5 and an Intel Mac?
Is anyone moving projects between the two platforms and experiencing NO problems at all? That information would be just as valuable, and very welcome.
Apple FCP development team: Is our experience unique or have you had other reports like this? Any idea what could be causing our problems -- and what we can do to fix them?

Scott,
Welcome to the discussions!
I have had no problems moving my G5 projects over to my MP.
You can not move render files between machines.
When you changed systems, did you use Migration Assistant to transfer your files over to your new Mac Pro? You might need to install from the disks in order to achieve native Intel performance. See if you installed Final Cut 5.1 on your G5 then it installed the PPC code... if you put that drive into your Mac Pro or used Migration Assistant to move the app over it is still the PPC code... When you install from the installation disk, Installer determines what system you are installing on (PPC or Intel) and that's what it installs. This goes for all of your "Universal Binary" apps...
In the System Profiler app. under Software/Applications
Final Cut Pro "kind" should be Universal on your MP.
The FCP development team do not read these posts, only users do.

Intel Mac problem

I have just installed the latest Adobe Flash player as a
group of websites I use said I needed it.
I am using an Intel Mac OS X 4.10. And have installed Flash
9.1.45.0.
Browsers Safari Beta 3, and Firefox 2.0.0.4. Both latest
versions.
Tried uninstalling Safari 3 but still the same problem with
Safari 2.
I have looked at the support pages here, and followed the
instructions , I uninstalled Flash, reinstalled it and then
verified my permissions and rebooted and still these 3 particular
pages will still not open for me.
The server for these 3 sites has had a recent upgrade which
took 10 days and after it was working I used it and it was fine,
But then yesterday I got this message.
They are shopping sites. I am disabled so on line shop a lot.
Do you think the fact they have upgraded their server may
have something to do with this problem, and I ought to contact the
sites and ask for Technical Support?
One of their sites has a club offering magazines and
discounts and of course I cannot even access that.
So so frustrating.

If you haven't done so, then re-post this in the iWork forum. This forum is not really the best place for your topic.

PROBLEM WITH FINAL CUT 4 ON INTEL MAC

tried to install final cut version 4 on an intel macbook pro and it comes up with error message saying AGP card missing. How come my version 3 will run? Any ideas?

Hi,
you need to have crossgrade to FCS 5.1 to run it on Intel Mac, but I think is too late to do a crossgrade - the promotion was valid up to 17 or 19 of March.
Now you can do a "standard" upgrade:
http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=6C0 4E07A&nplm=MA286Z%2FA
or an upgrade for Final Cut Express HD:
