How to use windows

How do i use windows on my intel macbook? I heard there are two options-you can reboot your computer or you can use windows simultaneously with mac applications. which option is better? what are the pros and cons of both? which one takes up more memory or is it the same thing? if i restart my computer to use windows, how long does it take to reboot? I'll probably only be using windows for games and mabye a few other applications. nothing complicated

If you want to run both OSX apps and Windows apps at the same time I recommend using Q:
http://www.kju-app.org/kju/
Which is a free application similar to Parallels or VMWare. Windows (any version) will run as an application (if that makes sense). Speed can be an issue, as you will be running two OSes, eating a ton of memory.
Bootcamp is ideal if you have a lot of things you need to do in Windows- however, I would HIGHLY recommend finding Mac applications that suite your needs and replacing Windows altogether... Here's a great place to find over 15,000 mac apps (AWESOME list, also lets you filter for Intel apps only, Free/Open Source, etc):

How to use windows environment variable "%appdata%" in TEXT_IO built-in

Hello Sir/Madam,
I'm currently using TEXT_IO built-in package to write data file user's "C" drive in Oracle Forms 6i on Windows XP OS. We are in the process of upgrading the OS to Windows7. This new version does not allow to write to "C" or "D" drive. I was wondering how I can use windows environment variable "%appdata%" in this built-in to write the data file to user's AppData folder?
I would appreciate your help.
Regards,
Vani Sonti

You are obviously not familiar with the architecture of webforms. See here http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/forms/275632-133265.pdf
I guess you are running your forms locally, so the forms server and the client run on the very same machine. This won't be the case once you run in production, as you will have an application server and clients connecting to the server.
text_io, tool_env and all the forms built ins will be executed on the machine the forms runtime runs on, and in a 3 tier architecture this is the application server, not the client as the real client will run just a java applet which actually just does what the forms runtime on the server tells it to do (or passes client side events like mouse clicks to the forms runtime on the server).
A very simple explanation for the architecture would be that the whole GUI part has been ripped off the forms runtime and put into a java applet; the logic part (the old-fashioned forms runtime) where the whole Forms PL/SQL code is executed communicates with the GUI part (which is implemented as a java applet) via HTTP, so there is no need to have both running on the very same machine.
So if you are writing a file with text_io on c:\dummy.txt this file will be generated on the application server machine as it is executed where the forms runtime runs. If you read environment variables with tool_env.getvar you will get the environment variable from the application server machine.
If you need those variables from your application server then those built-in packages are what you need, but if you need the real client variables there is no way around java in webforms 6i. But the beans should be simple enough to have them written within no time ;)

How to use Windows Mail with Firefox

I want to use Windows Mail as my default e-mail program when using Firefox to browse the internet and initiate e-mail messages. How can I get Firefox to use Windows Mail? Right now, it is using Thunderbird, which I do not even have installed on my PC, and it is using the web e-mail Address Book and Sent folder on my ISP's web site, rather than being able to reference the Address Book and Sent folder on my PC.
Thank you!

LV memory leak - How to use windows API SetProcessWorkingSetSize (from Kernel32.dll)

Hi fellow LV'ers
Okay - this is a bit tricky, but i'll try and explain the problem, then ask for the solution, because it may be that someone knows a better way to deal with this.. might get a bit long, sorry - if a solution comes up this will enable all of us to make more memory efficient LV code so please read on..
Here is the deal:
When building even a very simple LV executable, looking at the windows task manager will yield a rather large amount of memory allocated for such a small program - and the only way to free this up is by physically clicking the windows minimize button, then suddenly the amount drops to only a few MB and upon maximizing the window again the memory consumption will increase somewhat again, but for a simple VI build to an exe this move may change the consumption from +70MB to less than 15 MB.. This is irregardless of the code you put in the VI, so no coding example in this post as it is how LV works - you can even test it with the development environment - look at the task mgr and check LabVIEW's memory consumption, minimze ALL open NI windows incl project explorer etc, and you will see a significant decrease in memory usage even after maximizing again.. This has annoyed me since day one, but since RAM is a near zero cost these days it is not something I stay awake at night to think about.. However - I have moved into the "publish to web" tools now, wanting to do a remote monitoring part for my application for my customers to experience increased usability from the software i sell them..
All is well, publishing is really easy (i use the monitor function, NOT the embeded, as customers need not have Labview RunTimeEngine installed, because they might look at it from a non RTE supported platform such as a mobilephone web browser)
Everything is working fine also for the build application. However - I have noticed that once users start to remote monitor the running application - memory consumption of the running LV application starts to increase - and it keeps doing so - to such an extend that you can drain the computer complete and run off the cliff with a windows error... This is off course not very productive for me, being specialized in measurement applications that usually runs for a long period of time - I initially thought that I had done some poor programming in the VI used to display on the webpage - but it turns out that I can reproduce this behaviour with a simple boolean on an empty front panel..
NI support has been informed, and they admit there is a problem, but so far solutions from them has been a bit too exotic for my taste, and thus I'm seeking the help of fellow LV programmers...
You see - The method to solve the increasing memory consumption, is the exact same as mentioned above..minimize the application running with the "minimize" button and all memory will be freed, as soon as you maximize the application and users are viewing it remotely, the memory usage raises again, and history repeats... As previously mentioned, minimizing the window via normal LV calls to property nodes does not yield the same result, nor does a request deallocation of a VI(When you profile a project, there are no VI's increasing in memory, it is the LV process it self doing it)
After many many hours googling I stumbled upon this:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=293215
I believe trimming the process with SetProcessWorkingSetSize would solve this problem, and now I would really like to be able to do this in my program, so that users are not forced to minimize the program every X hour depending on their system size...
However - I have absolutely NO experience in calling windows API from LV, i need someone with that knowledge to provide an example of how to call this.. I've looked at examples on how to do calls to windows API - there is an example in this forum with some llb's in it, and I have gained a fair understanding of how parameters are passed between the calls, but none of those include the "hProcess" handle that is apparently needed for this specific winAPI call to work - Anyone in this forum with the knowledge on how to obtain this handle from a VI, if at all possible, and could provide an example VI for me to use - or even better , someone with the knowledge of how to do this within LV it self??
Your help is much appreciated
Best Regards
Jacob
LV8.6.1 patch something
Win XP
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Enrico
Finally I can give something to the community that has given me so much :-)
The "official" statement is that "yes we know it is a problem".. Not sure what that will do to the future..
I have the problem on 8.6.1 as well - and in fact it is a general LV problem, that I first time reported to NI with LV8.2 as I was pissed by the fact that even the smallest exe file would consume + 50MB of memory until you manually minimized the window. Well - thanks to the feedback from Cosmin I seem to have solved the problem.
I most warn that having started to "empty process" once in a while has led to occasional program crashes in the lethal "app.exe performed an illegal action and is closed" windows dialog - however what I did was to move the webserver to a seperate exe file and then communicate the data that I want to use via datasocket in a cluster.. It works like a charm and I simply stall the single thread that the webserver is running when ever the empty process is called and I have not seen a crash since then.. (the initial implementation was done in the main app with 4 parallel loops running, and I guess that was a disaster waiting to happen)
Either way - what I have done is made a VI that at a user defined interval calls the empty process, simply by getting the .exe name from the task manager of the calling program - it is simple and very effective. I call it every 5 minutes - needless to say that flushing too often will most likely kill performance of the system. I have not noticed problems with VM - are you sure you are not storing large arrays or moving around copies of data not used frequently?
For future reference to this forum, it is attached here including the .dll required to call - it is a LV8.6.1 file as I have not had the time to yet again test every single function of my program for new problems that could occur with upgrading to LV2009
I hope this solves your problem..
best regards

How to use window.confirm in a JavaScript with unknown variables

On my delete category page the user can pick the category it wishes to delete from a dropdown list (which is generated by rows in my database).
When the user hits the "Delete" button ths OnClick runs a JavaScript that sends the delete request to a .jsp page that handles all my insert, update and delete queries.
<input name="delete" type="button" id="delete" onClick="post('delete');return false;" value="Delete">
function post(actValue)
     document.MyForm.action.value = actValue ;
     document.MyForm.submit() ;
}So far, so good. But:
Before the site goes to this last jsp page I want a pop-up window that ask's for a confirmation of the delete-request.
So I changed the OnClick and I made another JavaScript::
<input name="delete" type="button" id="delete" onClick="delete('categoryName');return false;" value="Delete">
function deleteConfirm(categoryName)
     if( window.confirm("Are you sure you want to delete: " + categorieNaam + "?") == true)
          post('delete');
          return false;
}The problem is, when the page is loaded, we don't know yet what category the user wants to have deleted. So categoryName is unknown.
How can I make this work?

You have the category in a dropdown list?
<select name="catToDelete">
<option value="cat1">cat1</option>
<option value="cat2">cat2</option>
<option value="cat3">cat3</option>
</select>
You can use javascript attributes such as
var toDelete = document.all.catToDelete;
// the value it will submit
var selectedValue = toDelete.value;
// the selected index
var selectedIndex = toDelete.selectedIndex;
// the option that is selected
var selectedOption = toDelete.options[selectedIndex];
// the text of that option
var theText = selectedOption.textYou should be able to extract the info you need from that I hope.

How to use window programs on mac

im new at using mac and would like to download a program online, that is only compatible with windows.
what do i need, and how can i get the program to work on my mac?

windows programs will only run in a windows environment, and Mac applications will only run in a Mac environment.
To do what you want, you need to install a windows environment on your Mac like parallels;
http://forums.parallels.com/
and then install into it, a windows OS like XP, and then you can run your windows program; which seems a lot of trouble to me, but you can do this.
On the other hand you could just buy a windows laptop, or find an application (that's what Macs call programs) that does the same thing that is written for the Mac.

How to use windows programs

how do i run windows programs like counterstrike or other random windows applications on my macbook, do i need to download any software? if so, where?
thanks

You have a few choices. Boot Camp from Apple is free and here is the info. You have to boot from boot camp to run windows. It cannot be running at the same time as OS X
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303572
The other is parallels. It is not free but has the advantage of running at the same time as you are running OS X. There are still some issues with USB drivers but thye are always working on it. It is not free but worth the cost in my opinion.
http://www.parallels.com/
I use both to run windows. I use bootcamp for some of the windows games I have that won't run under parallels. I use parallels to check formating and other web based info in internet explorer. I can make a change in my editor and view it easily in windows without having to reboot.
If you are adventuresome there is another option.
Crossover allows you to run a windows program from OSX without windows being installed.

It works good on a lot of programs but does take some technical knowledge to get everything going good.

How to use Windows formatted iPod nano to move music to a new Mac?

Hi all,
I need to transfer my iPhone's musics, songs, apps and photo, etc to the Mac and I came across this http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1329" guide at Apple Support site since I owned a iPod nano.
My questions is since my iPod nano is configured for Windows will the Mac be able to read it since it's stated clearly in the guide "While a Windows formatted iPod may work on a Mac, Apple supports this configuration only with iPod shuffle."
If I follow through the guide, 1. Switch the iPod to manual update and enable disk use, 2. Locating and consolidating the iTunes Media folder, 3. Copy iTunes folder to iPod. I will still need to restore the iPod to work in Mac and end up nothing left inside meaning songs, photo all erased.
Also, anyone using third party software like http://www.fadingred.com/senuti/ Can advise if it's good to use this? And if iPod nano configured for Windows can works with this?
Need other more solution other this to transfer the mentioned data to Mac.
Thanks.

iPhone… iPod… iPod Nano… which one it is? You are trying to transfer music from what source, using what medium, and to what target?
I came across this http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1329"
it's stated clearly in the guide "While a Windows formatted iPod may work on a Mac, Apple supports this configuration only with iPod shuffle."
Where exactly is this stated? I am unable to find this statement in the KB article you mentioned. And are you talking iPhone or iPod? This KB article applies only to iPod.

How to use Windows SIM to create answer files for 32-bit (x86) Windows 7 from a 64-bit (x86_64) Windows 7 PC?

So I'm having the old 32-bit/64-bit compatibility issues with Windows SIM. I have a Windows 7 64-bit PC (actually a virtual machine) that I intend to use to run Windows SIM and make answer files for 32-bit Windows 7 unattended installations.
I've installed the latest Windows ADK (the Win 8.1 one). When doing this there was no choice of download or prompt during installation regarding 32-bit or 64-bit architectures. Once installed the Windows Kits folder is under Program Files (x86), but imgmgr.exe
is a 64-bit executable. When I try and generate the catalog for a 32 bit install.wim, I get an error that 64-bit SIM cannot catalog 32-bit images.
Is there any way to install a version of Windows SIM on a 64-bit Windows 7 PC that can catalog 32-bit Windows 7 images?

Hi,
I think the biggest problem is the architecture specific in answer file:
<settings pass="specialize">
        <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<OEMInformation>
<Manufacturer>[ REPLACE WITH COMPANY NAME ]</Manufacturer>
<SupportURL>[ REPLACE WITH SUPPORT WEBSITE ]</SupportURL>
</OEMInformation>
        </component>
    </settings>
The answer file must include processor-specific components. The answer-file settings in the windowsPE configuration pass must match the architecture type of the preinstallation environment. The settings that apply to the Windows image must match the architecture
type of the image. For example, if you create an answer file that deploys 64-bit images from a 32-bit preinstallation environment, all components in the answer file for the windowsPE configuration pass must include the processor attribute type of x86. Settings
to be applied in the specialize, oobeSystem, or other configuration passes must include the processor attribute type of amd64.

Acrobat 9 Pro Extended: How to use Windows 7 Snipping Tool to Paste into PDF

Acrobat 9 Pro Extended on Windows 7.
I frequently use the Windows built-in Snipping Tool to copy parts of pages and paste them into other applications.
Works great.
I can't find a way to let Acrobat allow me to Paste.
I create the snip like I always do.
Then navigage to Acrobat. But the Edit/Paste menu item is grayed out.
I tried File/Create PDF/From Blank File. Placed my insert point into the box.
Still no Edit/Paste was available.
Any ideas on what I need to do to allow Edit/Paste from the Windows 7 Snipping Tool?
Thanks for any help or advice!

You can paste the contents of the clipboard (if an image) onto a PDF page as a stamp. In Acrobat it is called the "Paste Clipboard Image as Stamp Tool" and is found in the stamp menu. You can then move and resize if wanted. To make it part of the regular page contents, you can flatten the stamps, perhaps with this free JavaScript-based tool: http://www.uvsar.com/projects/acrobat/flattener/

Activesync doesn't work - How to use Windows bluetooth driver?

Well, I have nearly given up on trying to get the Toshiba Bluetooth stack to work with my QTek PDA Phone. The reason for this is that the stack does not correctly enumerate all the functions of the device and therefore I can't configure the activesync program to use the correct com port.
Frankly, I'm disappointed that Toshiba chose to ship their own ad-hoc bluetooth implementation for Windows when Windows has their own.
So the question I have is, is there a "Correct way" to completely remove the Toshiba provided bluetooth stack (without using the Ghost image I made before installing it) and get a proper Windows bluetooth driver?
As for bluetooth security, the only added security I've seen using the Toshiba stack is that you can't actually make it work with anything so you aren't at risk.
P.S. I've tested with other Windows CE bluetooth devices as well, same problem.

Well I don't like it because it doesn't actually enumerate the serial port devices of my telephone and therefore I can't configure Microsoft ActiveSync to work with it since there is only one com port configured instead of 2.
I need the Microsoft Bluetooth stack so that I can have a standard configuration.
So it's more than just removing the Toshiba stack, it's also about installing the Microsoft stack, or getting the Microsoft stack to recognize the hardware.
Thanks for the info so far, but do you know if it's possible to enable the Microsoft stack?
