How can I detect the Mac OS version in JavaScript?

I know how to detect the OS (e.g. Mac or Win) using navigator.userAgent, but I need a way to know the OSX "version" that the user is running.

You cannot detect the Mac OS X version directly through JavaScript; you can use this information to determine whether they're using a PowerPC or Intel Mac. If a visitor is using Safari, you can estimate the Mac OS X version by getting the browser's version and then using this table to translate that.

  • Is iTunes 11.1.5 compatible with Mac OSX 10.6.8? If not how can I restore the previous iTunes version?

    Problem: Recently when I open iTunes it doesn't work; the little pinwheel just keeps spinning.
    I have tried leaving it on, as suggested by another user, for over 12 hours. I didn't work.
    I think the new iTunes version, 11.1.5, is not compatible with the operating system; Mac OSX 10.6.8. If this is so, how can I restore the previous iTunes version?

    You need to be updated to iTunes 11.2.2.
    You might want to consider running the combo updater over your install to refresh your files.
    Combo updater: Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update v.1.1 - 1.09 GB
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
    After running the combo updater, select Software Updater and update iTunes.
    If iTunes fails to open after updating, hold down the Option key when launching iTunes. It will ask you to locate your iTunes Library.
    Note: I've seen users with their iTunes Library on an external drive spin like this when the drive was failed to be seen in Disk Utility. Run Repair Drive on the external drive to fix this issue.

  • How can i detect the windows version

    Hi,
    How can I detect the windows version from Forms 6i?
    I was used get_application_property(operating_system); But it only return MSWINDOWS, MSWINDOWS32, WIN32COMMON.
    Any function or way can return the exact windows version(98/ME/NT/XP)?
    Regards, Wing

    You may use Win_Api_Environment API call to get windows version.
    I have sample code on my home PC if you need code send mail at [email protected]

    How can I find the oldest version of CoolEdit available for MAC?

  • Firefox 5.0 doesn't work on my computer (xp) how can i download the 4.0 version

    I have a window XP, since i updated firefox to 5.0, it doesnt work. i uninstalled it to install the 4.0 version. But whenever i want to download it only offers the 5,0.
    How can i download the 4.0 version???

    Firefox 4 versions and later do not run on a PowerPC Mac. Firefox 4 and later require at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.

    Delete the App Store app by dragging it and dropping it into the Trash.  Then download and install the appropriate update combo for your version of OS X;
    Install new MAS app -
    OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.3 update combo

  • How can I get the MAC address of my Apple TV?

    How can I get the MAC address of my Apple TV? I currently do not have an HDMI device to connect it to, and the MAC is not listed on the box or the Apple TV itself.
    (to answer the obvious, I am trying to pair it with an iPad, and I need to register the Apple TV for the network so the two can see each other)

    As long as I know java doesn't have support to work on link-layer, only internet and transport layers. You may write simple native code. On windows, IP Helper functions, like SendARP allow you to pass an IP address and get the hardware address. You store the hardware address on your database/file and later, when that machine is off, you send a frame to the address you stored previous.

  • HT204053 I have an iCloud account on my Mac which has a different account name to that on my iPhone. How can I change the Mac account name to that on the iPhone?

    Hi,
    I have an iCloud account on my Mac which has a different account name to the iCloud account on my iPhone. How can I change the Mac account name to match the iPhone one? Kuranda.

    You can't change it in one step. Sign out of the one now on the Mac, sign onto the right one.

  • I have an Ipod touch updated to last available ios 4.2.1. How can I get the last compatible versions of the apps?

    I have an Ipod touch updated to last available ios 4.2.1.
    How can I get the last compatible versions of the apps?
    In the appstore there are only the lat app versions, most of them are incompatible with my device.
    I know that previous versions of these apps were compatible with my ipod.
    Can all download them someway?
    thanks

    The problem is: I never had the compatible versions. But I want them, I'd buy them if I could.
    So I'm stuck with my Ipod, which can't be upgraded anymore to higher IOS versions, and with the appstore, that does not offer older versions; versions that have existed and still exist, perhaps in the recycle bin of some users, or somewhere in the appstore servers.
    I know, its a policy, just to sell more devices. Will not work with me. I'm not buying more Ipods

  • HT1544 how can I reinstall the Mac OS X from scratch?

    I have an early 2008 iMac that came with Mac OS X 10.5 leopard. I have bought all os's since then, and Today I am using the most recent one, mountain lion. My question is, how can I reinstall the Mac OS X from scratch? Is there a quick way ? Or do I have to:
    Find the leopard CDs that came with the iMac
    And go through the cd installation.
    Then, can I jump from leopard to mountain lion?

    If your goal is to just reinstall Mountain Lion, you can restart the computer holding the Command and R keys, then choose the reinstall OS X option from the utilities choices presented to you.
    That restarts the computer using the recovery hard drive that was created when you installed Mountain Lion...but note you must have an internet connection when you do this reinstall.

  • How can i find the installed forms version in 6i...?

    Dear all,
    How can i find the installed forms version in 6i, the situation is we have given a solution which will work in only forms6i latest version, before implementing the same we need to check whether the forms latest version has been installed or not
    Is there any way to find out without opening the forms builder..?
    Even if we un install the forms from a machine, the forms60_path variable will remain in regedit, so we cannot go based on that and aslo i dont know whether regedit will have the version details and all.
    It would be greatly appreciated if any one can give a solution.
    Thanks in Advance.
    Thangaraj.

    you query the registry, the registry has the version number saved, but I cannot remember exactly where and I don't have 6i Installed on my machine.
    You just open the Forms Builder and click on Help/About.
    But Jan's method is the best.

  • How can I find the JDBC Driver version

    Hi,
    How can I find the JDBC Driver version installed on my Sun Solaris machine which

    Parikshit KhannaThere is a jdbc DatabaseMetaData call getDriverVersion().
    The best thing to do is to download Oracle's latest appropriate
    driver from their site, and edit the start-weblogic script to
    make sure the downloaded driver is ahead of any weblogic stuff in
    the server's classpath. We do ship a driver, but Oracle usually
    has a newer better one very soon after that...
