Has Anyone tried running Windows Apps on Tiger/Leopard using Crossover?

Hi,
I had heard that you can run some Windows applications using a program called Crossover.
Has anyone tried Crossover?
I need to run Qimage on my MacPro

It does work, but it can only run programs that have been converted for use with CrossOver. You need to check their site information on whether the program you want to use is available in converted form.
CrossOver hasn't been verified for 10.5.2, although it is certified for 10.5.
Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak 2 or Vista. Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, or Vista Ultimate. Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
3. VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, or Vista Ultimate. VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows. The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
5. Last is Q. Q is a freeware emulator that is compatible with Intel Macs. It is much slower than the virtualization software, Parallels and VM Fusion.
Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system.
See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion.
Boot Camp is only available with Leopard. The Boot Camp Beta that was used with Tiger has expired and is no longer available for use. So contrary to the other poster's comment, Boot Camp isn't truly "free." You must purchase Leopard to get it.

Has anyone tried running Dragon NaturallySpeaking (for Windows) on Mac Mavericks?

Has anyone tried running Dragon NaturallySpeaking (for Windows) on Mac Mavericks? I have finally given up on Dragon Dictate for Mac, which alas, after years of buying every new updated version, is still exceedingly buggy and does not begin to compare in quality to the PC version. I love my Mac, and don't like my PC at all, but the third-party voice dictation software for Mac is so pathetic, that I have wound up dictating on my PC, and then sending it to my Mac: an truly annoying and Baroque process. I was able to train over 120 words in Sanskrit word perfect on Dragon NaturallySpeaking, but on Dragon Dictate for Mac, I can't even get it to train my name. I know this is not an Apple problem, but I'm trying to find a way around by possibly running the DNS version on Windows on my iMac.
I have a hand disability, so I really do need to use voice dictation, both for dictating and navigating on my computer.
If anyone is doing this, are you using Boot Camp, VM fusion, or Parallels? How well does it work? Has anyone discovered anything else I ought to be considering, before giving this a try? I had tried running this on an old on 2008 iMac (with much less power), using Parallels, but it was incredibly slow. Now that I have a much more powerful iMac, I'm wondering whether it would be worth another try. As it will be quite an investment to purchase all this third-party software to get Dragon up and running, I was hoping to get a sense of how well it works, before plunking down the cash. I would be extremely grateful for helpful feedback.

Benchmarks of all of the above except Crossover can be found in Benchmarking Parallels, Fusion, and VirtualBox Against Boot Camp - The Mac Observer. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or later. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

Has anyone tried the Normalizer app?

Has anyone tried the Normalizer app? We are looking for something that will normalize job level for us. The only app I have found was the normalizer and a lot of the links on their website don't work and it doesn't look like they have has any activity on their site for over 6 months.

Great!! Thanks LB

Has anyone tried DisKWarrior V4.2 with Snow Leopard V10.6.3? Does it work?

Has anyone tried DisKWarrior V4.2 with Snow Leopard V10.6.3? Does it work?

Well, there is an article on MacWorld saying there were a lot of changes and improvements to Disk Utility.... and those have a way of impacting things.
I got surprised to have trouble after 10.6.3 with SuperDuper on two different systems, that I am still scratching my head over, but had to use Carbon Copy Cloner and RESTORE in Disk Utility for now, would crash (sent report to both) as soon as SD began.
TechTool Pro 5 is another that sometimes needs to take a couple weeks to see if they need an update and validate against the final shipped build.

Has anyone tried running star trek online for mac yet

Being a lover of sci-fi this game came to my attention and being a recent convert to mac's I was wondering if anyone more knowledgeable then I (most everyone) has tried to install and play this. If you have or you have any suggestions or warnings for me then I greatly appreciate your help.
Thanks
James

If you have or you have any suggestions or warnings for me
Can you be more specific please. There are quite a few Star Trek games out there for Macs if you do a Google search. There is one at the App Store called Star Trek D-A-C. Items listed at the AppStore are specifically for Macs from qualified developers/manufacturers.
Is that the game you are talking about? If not, please list the correct Star Trek game and the link from where this game came to your attention. Did you read the reviews from the site you saw this game? It's system requirements?

Has anyone tried running their Mini from a 3.5" drive?

Actually what I'm asking is if anyone has tried installing an internal 3.5" HD in an enclosure using an IDE adapter? I was hoping to improve the HD speed of my mini by running it off of the 3.5" HD but wanted to make sure someone else has actually done it successfully and that I'm not going to damage the HD I have in there now.
Thanks,
John

Just going with an external firewire drive might be less of a headache and get the results you are after. For example:

Has anyone tried running Logic Pro X with a RAM disk?

I Have been reading about the possible benefits of using a Ramdisk (created in terminal, or as a startup AppleScript). Would I see any benefits running LPX straight from RAM? I realize that I would have to save periodically to alternate locations on my SSD or HDR, but would I be flirting with disaster by working this way?..

The Fishman Triple Play is simply the best hardware option to date for triggering external MIDI whether hardware sound modules or software instruments.
Having used many MIDI guitar converters since '89, I can say that the FTP tracking is very accurate and velocity dynamics are reasonably wide from soft to loud.
The Triple Play app works in Stand Alone mode in OSX 10.7.5 but not in 10.8.3.
In 10.8.3, you load the Fishman Triple Play plug-into into the I/O of a software instrument track. Open the app and adjust sensitivity, mono vs poly, transposition down or up an octave, etc. Save your set ups as presets which can be scrolled through with the D-Pad control on the converter.
While the GR-55 is an amazing all-in-one solution in a small, light weight package (in relation to the bulk and weight of several actual guitars, basses, amps, fx, etc), it is a poor choice for triggering external sound sources. Whereas I can play "bass" lines on the open E and A strings with my now obsolete Roland GI-20 and RMC piezo equipped guitar without any sense of latency, the GR-55 latency was simply intolerable. Of course one could revert to the old strategy of playing parts an octave higher on the fret board to increase speed and accuracy of tracking. But what about playing "piano" with fretted triads against the open E or A strings???
Think I'm full of hot air? Skim through this: http://www.joness.com/gr300/MIDI_SPEED.htm
I traded my GR-55 towards a JTV-59.
Once set up, you're gonna love the FTP. As I mostly sequence MIDI in Logic, being wireless is incredibly convenient.

Has anyone tried disabling DART?

Has anyone tried disabling DART in the boot-args on an XSERVE running Tiger with 2GB RAM? Are there any effects on the PCI cards, except the obvious?

Has anyone tried to use the Online Edition of Quickbooks and Tiger?

I work from home as an editor. My employer has just set up payroll using the Online Edition of Quickbooks. When I tried to to login I got this message from Quickbooks:
"For business and tech reasons we designed Online Edition specifically to run on Windows. We do not offer an alternative version at this time. Customers have reported using a PC emulator, such as Microsoft's Virtual PC, to run Online Edition on their Macs. This may decrease application performance in terms of speed. We encourage you to research this approach to see whether it will work for you."
Has anyone tried this?
Also, they set up Online Edition to run with Internet Explorer. I use Safari.

i donot know the server he used in his example. All you need is to
replace the server deployment descriptors he used to weblogic descriptors. then rebuild. go to admin tool--localhost:7001/console
and login with weblogic as username and password
then on ejb you can then deploy the ejb.read on the console.

Has anyone tried home sharing between mac and windows using parallels on the same machine?

I recently purchased a mac, and plan to set up parallels for windows and windows 7 so that I can use the Windows version of Over Drive Media Console from the library and download WMA files in windows (limitation with mac version for wma downloads). I would like to synch to iTunes on the Mac iOS, but will need iTunes available in Windows to transfer the books I download in WMA format from the library to my iphone. Has anyone tried this? Any success or suggestions would be appreciated!

In case anyone is interested, last night I installed Paralells, Windows, Overdrive Media Console on Windows, and then was able to download my book in WMA format. I was hoping parallels would allow me to crossover sync to iTunes on the Mac and have Overdrive recognize that I had iTunes open, but I had to choose Windows or Mac when connecting my phone through the USB and had to choose Windows in order for it to successfully transfer. I was able to get it to work it is now synced to iTunes in Windows. The nice thing was that it pulled in all my music/apps that I had set up in the Mac side, so I didn't have to go through that exercise again. I tested it on my old phone. Now I need to decide if I want to set up my current phone on Windows or Mac, it seems that once synched it only opens the device in windows, I haven't figured out how to force the choice between mac or window again. If I do windows, I can't take advantage of the cloud or iphoto/imovie directly. I'm totally new to mac, but I think I'll have to import my photos manually.

Has anyone tried to send a Flash-app to the App Store?

Has anyone tried to send a Flash-app to the App Store, after the new statement from Apple? If yes, what was the answer back from Apple?
I see that the previous apps made from Flash CS 5 is still up on the App Store. Maybe there is a small hope for Flash developers?

Well, if they accepted a Flash-made app, then I would work more on my iPhone Flash-game before sending it to App Store. I don't think I'm gonna make better graphics etc, if the app only will run on my phone. And I don't think I'm gonna send a 70% done game to the App Store, and if they accept it, then finish it.
So it would be very helpful to hear a "success story".

Has anyone tried driving two external monitors (3 total displays) on the iMac 2011 through the thunderbolt ports on Windows 7 Bootcamp?

I would love to purchase an iMac 2011 with the Thunderbolt ports, but I need to occasionally boot to Windows 7 Bootcamp.
I imagine this will work in general... but has anyone tried driving two external monitors using the Thunderbolt ports in Windows 7 Bootcamp?
Thanks in advance!
Ralph

Hi,
I am trying to get this working at the moment. both monitors are fine in Lion but I am losing the second monitor in windows. I will update you when I get it working.

Has anyone else run across Error 213.23 or cpsid_83578?

Hi All,
I have a Master Suite CS5 installation problem on Windows 7 64 bit - Have exhausted first layer of tech service. The 3 tech service persons do not have a solution for the errors shown below. Next layer of tech service will call back. It has been 2 days…
I can install all programs except for AE, AF, and FL. Although I can install the other programs I cannot open any of the classical programs such as PS, AI, DW, etc. When I try, I get the following messages:
“A problem has occurred with the licensing of this product. Restart your computer and re-launch the product. If this problem still occurs after restarting, contact Customer Support for further assistance, and mention the error code shown at the bottom of this screen - Error 213.23”
Ran AdobeSupportAdvisor – the following errors came up “licensing program cpsid_83578 launch and serial # language do not match CS5”.
Has anyone else run across Error 213.23 or cpsid_83578?
Thanks,
Randy

Hi, Wonder if you found a solution yet??
I've just purchase PS CS5, and run into the same problem and error message when I install it (Windows 7 /64bit). Tried to install it from the Administrator account and then it works, but when I log on to any other account CS5 is not available/working.
Any new suggestions are highly appreciated!

Has anyone tried to extend Spatial with a 3D primitive?

Has anyone tried to extend Spatial with a 3D primitive that for example can model buildings and tunnels? I am trying to add the polyhedron primitive next to the existing point, line, polygon model. I just want to hear some tips or ideas...

The plan is to make a new GType and new stored functions that recognize this GType.
A polyhedron could be of type 3008,3D and 8=polyhedron(=new). The elem_info
and ordinates contain multiple planes. Self-created stored functions would be
able to recognize this GType, e.g. area3D should give the sum of the areas of all the
faces of the polyhedron and should also work on Gtype=3003 and give the real area
of a 3D polygon instead of the projection.I wouldn't suggest this methodology if you are considering using any spatial indexing or
functions with your data.
There is a mechanism Oracle Spatial has for defining custom datatypes. It should only
be used with custom apps, i.e. it won't be usable in the context of applications that know
about Oracle Spatial data types.
The mechanism allows you to define you own element using an element type of 0, and using
the interpretation to define what you are looking at. You would also include an a supported
element type that approximates your geometry, and that element is the one that is indexed,
and the gtype entered is associated with that geometry. Your private functions could access
the 3d geometry when required. For instance, you want to have a 3d cube. It might look like this:
sdo_gtype=3002
sdo_elem_info=(1,2,1, 7,0,1, 22,0,2 etc.
sdo_ordinates=(0,0,0,2,2,2, 0,0,0,2,0,0,2,2,0,0,2,0,0,0,0, 2,0,0,2,0,2,2,2,2,2,2,0,2,0,0, etc
the 1,2,1 in the elem info array corresponds to a 3d line string that when indexed with a minimum bounding
volume encloses the 3d cube. The 0,0,0 and 2,2,2 in the ordinate array stored as the line string when indexed
include the bounds of the cube. Next in the elem info array are 7,0,1. The 7 means offst 7 in the ordinate array
and in this example is fixed. Next the 0 tells Oracle Spatial to ignore this element. The interpretation of 1 you define,
the number could be anything. Since it is my example, I'll say the 1 means this is the definition of the first face in the
x,y plane (i.e. the front face of the cube which faces me). I've set the ordinate array with the coordinates of that face.
Next in elem info comes 22,0,2 which is starting at offset 22 there is another element that Oracle spatial should ignore
(element type 0), and next comes 2, which might mean this is the second face definition, that I've defined as the right
hand side y,z plane.
etc.
The meaning of the interpretation value is only limited by your imagination.
Note while you can index three dimensions if you want, the only spatial functionality that supports 3d is a spatial
index and a filter query, and some lrs functions. You will not be able to run any operator except for SDO_FILTER if you
have a 3d index, and all spatial functions will only work on 2d.
Do not define your own gtype and expect to use spatial. it will not work.

Has anyone tried creating a plugin that you can type in a specific word, and if it comes up in the very top of the page (i think its refered to as the header) it closes the page or tab automatically?

Has anyone tried creating a plugin that you can type in a specific word, and if it comes up in the very top of the page (i think its refered to as the header) it closes the page or tab automatically? there is a program called POW! by AnalogX that does this, but its only good for IE. And Im a Firefox man. Can anyone look into this or maybe create a plugin that does what POW! does for IE? I will donate to the creater of a plugin that does that. Im so sick of pop ups that most pop up blockers miss.

The Firefox pop-up blocker is very effective. If you are getting a lot of pop-ups in Firefox, you may have picked up some Malware that is causing those pop-ups.
