Graphics apps running under Rosetta

I'm VERY unhappy with the speed of Rosetta. Graphic apps like PhotoShop 7 run at 30% that they do on my G4 iBook.
I didn't buy a new Mac to run applications at one-third the speed.
AND.... I notice that even with 1G of RAM, running just two or three applications (like Mail and Safari) takes up almost all the RAM. Same apps running on my iBook leave a LOT of RAM.
Anyone else seeing terrible speed from the new iMac?

I believe that it is on option when you order to get 1x1GB chip or 2x512MB chips. If you got it from a local Apple store, it will be 2x512MB.
I re-read your post and didn't realize that you already had 1GB. I used Photoshop last night and think that I confused speed with GUI responsiveness. Doing processor intensive things like unsharpen mask did seem a bit slower, but not too bad.

[Intel] Any list of Universal Binaries and apps running under Rosetta?

Hi!
Sorry, I'm not sure about posting into the right group, but found no other place with similar threads...
I just try to figure out if all my apps will run under Rosetta or are available as Universal Binaries (and how much will the vendors charge for them). It's really a pain...
Do you folks know any web site or forum with a "Rosetta compatibility list" and an overview about available Universal Binaries?
I will not consider a change without e. g. a working backup solution (Retrospect), AppleWorks, EyeTV and a few other apps...

Mike,
AppleWorks seems to work unter Rosetta (referring to
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=314806
My greatest concern is Dantz' Retrospect and I haven't found a testing or even an information a Dantz' web site, yet.
But replacing my iBook with a MacBook wouldn't happen in the near future anyway...

Endianness when running under Rosetta?

Hi all,
I have a Carbon application which is reading binary data from a file's resource and then has to work with that data. I know the endianness of the data on disk so I used to do a byte-swap when necessary (after using ReadPartialResource() to get the data into my variable).
I dutifully converted all those unconditional byte-swaps to CFSwapInt32BigToHost() in order to make sure that things work correctly when running on an Intel machine (since the application is not universal, the app is running under Rosetta on Intel machines).
Today I tested the application on an iMac Intel CoreDuo (in my local Apple Store) - things worked just fine. However, even the old version with unconditional byte-swapping works correctly...
Does this mean the "Host" on in Intel machine is still big endian? Anybody can corroborate this or point me to documentation of this behaviour?
Thanks,
Andreas

Hi,
to support the other posters intention: I would not need an emulator, if any code could be run between to processor types. If I have an emulator, it has to give a complete emulation of one processor another. If VirtualPC would have used BigEndians, no wndows would have ever started on those. So the other way round I assume that Rosetta will think Big (in Endianess).

App running in Rosetta or Universal Binary

Is there a way to see if an app is running under Rosetta or Universal Binary AFTER you have launched it?
i am aware that get info for the app will tell you if it is a native UB or PPC app.
for Ex: i am running Adobe After Effects CS3 which is UB, but it will run under Rosetta if some 3rd party plugins are installed. I wanna be able to "check" to see if it is running under Rosetta, or universal.
thx!

Utilities > Activity Monitor. In the window that displays the CPU processes the Kind column will show Intel or PPC. (By default this column is all the way on the right, so you need to widen the Activity Monitor window or scroll right to see it).
Hope this solves your problem...

Safari issues "fixed" running under Rosetta

I have found that unless you run Safari under Rosetta there are compatability problems with some sites. In particular, I was unable to load images of my old computer to that auction site when running native but it works fine if I run Safari under Rosetta. I read elsewhere in this forum that there are Flash issues as well.
I have reported this to Apple so let's hope we get a new version or an OS update soon!

viking79,
Choose Get Info for the Safari app. Click the
checkbox "Open using Rosetta."
Jim R.
Is there a way I can make a shortcut for each method of opening Safari? So I could click one icon to launch it in Rosetta, and another to launch it native? Or it would be nice if I could just right click on the icon in the Dock and select Rosetta or native.
Thanks

App running under lock screen with StreamSocket and SpeechSynthesizer

On wp8 silverlight this was easy. PhoneApplicationService.Current.ApplicationIdleDetectionMode = IdleDetectionMode.Disabled;
In 8.1 xaml how would I go about this? I have found an ugly hack online that keeps the screen alive, this is not a solution that I can use. My users need to start my app, select a car transponder that they want to hear lap times from, connect to my server
(over wifi to a local computer running my server code, no internet) hit the lock button, then put their phones in their pockets while they drive and get the lap times on their earpiece.
I have the new and more cumbersome text-to-speech working (how you have to have an invisible media element on a the active page for mediaended to fire was especially annoying!). I have the streamsocket stuff working, just not under the lock screen. I don't
really need it to be a "background task". It is understood and preferable that it disconnects the moment you leave the page where get your live lap times.
controlchanneltrigger seemed promising, you can use it for store apps... but not phone.
To summarize.
1. connect to server with streamsocket api
2. lock screen and put phone in pocket
3. app should stay alive and as packets arrive from the server (one packet every 10 seconds on average), store lap time results and say them out loud using text to speech.

At this point I'm pretty fed up and I'm about to pull the plug on the WP8.1 version, my first experience with xaml was... unpleasant... So if you have some good keywords I can search for that would be appreciated.

Hi torg,
The most similar API on Windows Phone 8.1 is
RequestActive | requestActive method, see this for more information: How to keep the display on during audio/video playback (XAML)

IPhoto open with app running in Rosetta - super slow

Hey, just wondering if this is normal, or if it's something I should be looking into. I had Suitcase X1 open today and noticed my iPhoto running excruciatingly slow...could barely get it to open. I opened my app monitor and noticed that everything on my iMac was Intel except for Suitcase which was using Rosetta. So, just for trial and error, I quit that app and viola, iPhoto was fine. Has anyone noticed this? Is this something that Rosetta does? The odd thing is that iPhoto was the only app with any noticeable performance decrease. I also had Photoshop open and that was fine, as well as Safari. It just seemed to be iPhoto. Is this a problem that's common? I tried to locate something about it and could find nothing. Thanks for the help.

You know, I just went and tried to repeat it and couldn't. I used iPhoto and it was fine. I then went and launched Suitcase and it was still fine. So, with that in mind, the only thing I can come up with is, perhaps the file I had opened in Photoshop was consuming a lot of resources and those were making iPhoto lag...perhaps it wasn't Suitcase/Rosetta at all. Weird that it seemed to cure it when I quit it, but perhaps that was just coincidental. Thanks for suggesting that I try to recreate it, to see if that was the problem or not.

How to force Pages 2.0.2 to run under Rosetta?

I browsed Apple's Support site and found this document:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303120
I can find the check box for Safari 2.0.4, but I don't have this box for my Pages 2.0.2.
I have also confirmed with System Profiler that my Pages is an Univerisal Application, not a Power PC or Intel.
Any suggestion?
(I need it because my Fiery printer driver is not Universal Binary yet and I need to access some of the features).

Hi Joshua,
Welcome to the forums!
I've not yet made the move to intel, so I can't check this out on my Mac. But while you wait for a driver update, you might want to check out the Gutenprint printer drivers for Mac:
http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php3
They are free, cover a very large range of printers, and may be able to run your Fiery (though it may not access all of its features).
Hope this helps.

Tip for ALL Graphics cards running under Windows

PLEASE STICKY THIS
This is a really useful tip for anyone running windows ME or XP.
It doesn't matter what card your installing and it really helped me out once.
Use System Restore
System restore is a simple utility Microsoft came up with for things like registry changes or putting new hardware/software in.
All you have to do is:
1. Set up system restore to monitor the hard drives or partitions you want it too. This can simply be done by going to start>all programs (or program files)>accessories>system setup>system restore. Once the window has opened choose system restore settings and from here you can change what hard drives are monitored and how much disk space restore can use.
2. Before you make a change to your card (whether it be drivers or putting a card in) open up system restore as in step '1' but choose create restore point. The system may hang for a minute then you will be told a restore point has been made.
3. Now any change you make to anything to do with the operating system will be noted by windows and the unchanged vesion will be kept in that hard drive space you specified in step '1'
4. Should the drivers screw up your system you can boot in safe mode (by hammering F8 between POST and OS loading screen) and when a dialog box comes up saying you have started in safe mode choose to run system restore.
NOTE: BIOS changes can NOT be undone in system restore, and if your computer won't boot at all your ed!!!
System restore should not be used if your computer is running ok, or if you can resolve the issues by changing drivers, using system restore can bring back spyware, viruses and trojans! If there is a power failure or your PC crashes when running system restore yu may need to format your hard drive.

System Restore is only available in Windows XP.
Most video driver related problems can be solved by uninstalling the old drivers, rebooting, and cancelling the "found new hardware" dialog before running the new driver installer.

InDesign CS4 will not run under Lion

I have InDesign CS4 and Design Suite CS3. All my other CS3 apps run under Lion. The Upgrade to Lion failed leaving my internal unbootable, so I installed and migrated to an external drive. But after the upgrade to Lion all of the other CS 3 aps run, IDCS4 will not run. I get the following message:
Adobe InDesign is missing required system fonts or CMap files. Please reinstall InDesign.
I used the uninstaller and reinstalled. No affect. I made the Library folder visible. No effect. I cant

There is a very long list of incompatibilities with Lion:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/905/cpsid_90508.html
I'm sure there are many more that are unknown.
FWIW, I highly recommend sticking with Snow Leopard for now and when you do upgrade, do so as a clean install.
John will be along soon to tell you to ignore the man behind the curtain.

CS v1 under rosetta

will creative suite v1.1 or v1.3 run under rosetta?
I know cs2 will and fully planned to purchae it. After reading reviews it appears that most were not happy with the upgrades and consider the previous version to be superior and to run faster!
Kalel

Hmmm well I have heard cs3 might be coming before the end of the year, but that is still going to delay my project. I have an old copy of elements 2.0 for mac.
It's is pretty old and I'm not even sure where it is. Could I use this under rosetta in the mean time?
Photoshop is what I use 80% of the time so this may get me by for several months, although that may just be wishfu thinking.
Does anyone know i there is a definitive list of what will run under rosetta or is it just a try and fail process?

My app will no longer run under Snow Leopard, runs fine under Lion.

My app will no longer run under Snow Leopard, even though it was originally written for Snow Leopard. It runs fine on my Dev machine under Lion. But when I test it on my Snow Leopard Mac Mini the app starts but the window does not appear. Going to file, new window does nothing. My depolyment target is set to 10.6. Is there something I did to make my app lose Snow Leopard compatiblty?

Does your application use features only available in Lion? Are you getting any console logs?

xhost + and trying to run graphical app
I have an oracle linux basic server updated.
I need to test and installation with an GUI but I cannot do it. I found a lot of information so I did this:
connect with putty on an ssh to my server oracle linux with it´s ip address 192.168.100.62
I did the connection with my desktop with it´s ip addresss 192.168.100.34
When connecting I did with oracle user and I export DISPLAY as
export DISPLAY=192.168.100.34:0.0
then
xhost + 192.168.100.34 but show me xhost: unable to open display ""
and of course did not let me run for example xclock Error: Can't open display:
I am a basic linux user but I like to learn, but I need how to configure my server oracle linux to run some GUI apps or installation
Thanks

You need to have an x-server running on your desktop, in order to receive the redirected GUI output. I use xming. Like putty, it is free and lightweight.
Also, you don't need to fool with DISPLAY or xhost. Just configure you putty session to allow x-11 port forwarding.

Some current apps won't run under IOS 4?

Just got this from RunKeeper
We wanted to reach out and warn you that the RunKeeper Free and RunKeeper Pro apps that you currently have on your phones are not iOS 4 compatible. New versions that are iOS 4 compatible are in the queue awaiting Apple's approval. We don't know if they will get approved before tomorrow (we hope they do), but if not, it should be any day now. In the meantime, if you wish to continue using RunKeeper while you are waiting, hold off on downloading iOS 4 until our next app version gets approved.
Is this going to be a general problem with older apps?

I suspect there are three categories:
1. Apps which will not run under OS4
2. Apps which will run under OS4 but not support multitasking
3. Apps which will run under OS4 and support multitasking
I understand Navigon has a new version in the wings in Cat 3.
Hopefully the iTunes app store will identify those which will not work in OS4. But I suspect we may learn about some the hard way, starting tomorrow.
