Is there reasons why iOS devices cannot run Mac OS?

For example, Mac OS X Lion

Because they use different CPUs than the Mac computers. Plus the MacOS X operating system is vastly more complex than iOS 5 since it is designed for a wider range of processes and applications, vs the mobile needs of iOS devices.

Pls take note that my IPad 3 used to find my printer HP wireless D110. The only thing that I did was to update to IOS 7. Do you think this is the reason why my iPad cannot find my wireless printer?

1. Turn the router, iPad and printer off
2. Turn on the router and then wait 30 seconds
3. Turn on printer and then wait 30 seconds

Why iOS devices has no flash player that's why android is selling more!

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
But Adobe has stopped the Flash development for Android, so now Flash is only compatible with Windows, OS X and Linux. You can use Flash on Android, but you will be using an old version and it will be dangerous for your device

I am running Forms 10gR2 with Firefox for quite some time (from 2 to 12 and now with 10.0.7 ESR). So I know for a fact that you can run Forms with other Browsers then IE. Also why would Oracle certify other Browsers (which they did) if it wouldn't work in the first place?
So to answer your "question": forms most certainly won't work on FF on your side because you didn't configure your formsweb.cfg properly. For newer Versions of Fírefox you'd have to use the Sun JPI instead of JInit:

Also if you'd have used the forum search it would have come up with some informations on what to do; e.g.
Running Oracle Forms applications using Firefox 3.6
So to sum it up you should reprhase your original question to:
How do I use the forum search/google to search for informations already provided a hundred times?cheers

Part 2
Thanks for the feedback Skhorchid. Glad it worked for you too.
A bit later I discovered that Photo Stream was not working on my Windows 7 PC either. If I opened the iCloud control panel and put a check in the box to turn on Photo Stream, and then closed and reopened the control panel, the check mark was gone again. Also, nothing happened when I clicked on the options button beside the Photo Stream check box. I already had version 2 of the iCloud control panel so I could not upgrade further.
I ended up uninstalling the iCloud control panel, rebooting, downloading a fresh copy from Apple, and reinstalling it. This worked and I now have photo stream working on my Windows 7 system as well.

Why won't Apple allow WiFi sync'g of iOS devices on PowerPC Macs running OS 10.5.8 and latest iTunes?

Another note, I can't believe that after all of this time with the new discussion boards, you still can't edit posts from any of Apple's iOS devices.
I posted this on my iPAd and had to just edit this from my Mac because I accidentally posted this question before I finished.
Royal Pain!

My Mac connects to the Internet via WiFi through a WifI card. I am running OS X 10.5.8 and the latest update of iTunes to find that Apple has (I think) artificially, not allowed sync'g of iOS devices on 10.5.8. This option is greyed out and says for OS 10.6 and above only.
Why impose this limit if we Leopard users can still use the latest version of iTunes and have WiFi capabiltity to do so?

Why ios devices does not support Pause feature on camera app

Is there any harm to device if Pause feature will incorporated ?
On iPhone 6 & 6+, iPad Air2 don't have Pause functionality of their Primary Camera app.
Any idea why apple doesn't think to incorporate Pause this feature ?
Thanks.

I know this is discussion portal and we all are apple users. I know, I am not asking to the apple's R & D team to answer my concern...
But my intension to put this question was to get the alternative solution like any other App in App store which offers Pause functionality during Video recording.

Cant connect my ios devices to my mac book air

I cant connect my IOS devices (iphone 4s + ipad 2) to my macbook air mid/2013 by usb or bluetooth.
when connecting by usb the devices dose not charge or sync with itunes. it charges for split a second and disconnect anther time and it go forever in the his loop.
I tried using two cables.
The devices are working on my windows pc.
my macbook works with usb sticks and other android phones.
note:
-both devices are on ios 8.1
-my macbook is on Yosemite
-my ipad 2 worked well before updating my mac to yosemite

iPods that have the Window format should continue to work on a Mac, because Macs can read/write the Windows format used on iPods. (The opposite is not true - Windows cannot read the Mac format.)
You can change the formatting, by doing a Restore on the iPod, but that is done in iTunes, so iTunes needs to see the iPod when you connect it. The Restore will also erase the iPod.
Since it continues to work on your friends Windows PC, your iPod itself is probably OK, so you may want to first look at the connection to the Mac.
Did you use the same USB docking cable when you connected it to your friend's PC? If so, you can rule out the USB cable as the cause. If not, it's possible that your USB cable is faulty.
If you are connecting the iPod to a USB hub, try a direct connection to the Mac's USB port. If other USB devices are connected at the same time, try disconnecting the other devices (except for standard keyboard and mouse if normally used). You may also want to shut down (power off) the Mac, if you have not done so in a while. Also, do this to Reset the iPod

Start up the Mac, run iTunes, and connect the iPod by itself to a direct USB port.

Can you sync multiple IOS devices to one Mac?

Is it possible to sync, say, both an iPod Touch (or iPhone) AND an iPad to the same user account on one Mac? I assume it must be possible, otherwise what would folks with an iPod/iPhone and an iPad do?
What are the caveats, if any?
How about two different IOS devices associated with the same MobileMe user account? Any issues there?

No problem with any of this at all, including mobile me
You can choose different sync options for each device if you wish, and MobileMe can be set up on multiple devices with no problems, they will all keep in sync with each other.

Getting photos onto my iOS devices from my Mac mini with beta library turned on.

I am using iOS 8.1.3 and have turned on Beta Library. I find that I can no longer get photos from my Mac onto my iPhone and iPad mini. In iPhoto, I've dragged them into Photostream on the Mac and they appear in Photostream there but not on my iOS devices. How can I get selected photos from iPhoto on the Mac to appear in Photos album on my iPhone and iPad mini?

The iOS OS doesn't give you direct access to the file system on the device, so will thwart your ability to upload files from your device. You can't interact with those files directly.
Perhaps there is an FTP app for iOS that would let you do this, but it might not meet apples terms of service for the App Store so would probably require a jail broken phone.
Even though limited by these restrictions, VPN is still helpful for other things. You can access a mail server or private website that's behind a VPN firewall. You can control airport base stations behind a firewall. VPN can also make 3rd party apps more useful in other ways too. For instance I can remotely control a retrospect backup server using their iOS app with VPN to punch thru the firewall.

Four iOS Devices and one Mac

I want to set up icloud, but I am a little confused. My wife and I each have an iPhone and Ipad, but only one Mac, what would be the best way to set this up, I would like to share our calendar and adress book. I do have all the devices working using iMessage, Facetime using differant ID's and I am using the same ID for iTunes. Anything would be helpful. I have read the articles on Macworld and macsotries.net, but still come away confused.
Thanks,
Felix

Home Sharing and Airplay: fall 2011 major trouble in iTunes to APTV, IOS devices - detailed run-through.

Dear all, and dear Apple - as you know flagged trouble regarding Home Sharing to devices and to APTV has grown exponentially this fall and it is high time Apple calmly regained control over the situation. Get a grip, this is a fundamental "it just works" reputational issue.
Having read lots of community posts I am struck by how many crosschecks I have done and still cannot get Home Sharing to ´just work´ anymore.
Symptoms of my troubles include:
(1) In iTunes the Home Sharing house icon is nowhere to be found on the left hand side even though I have turned it on several times.
(2) Airplay icon was visible in the lower right corner of iTunes for about two minutes last night but then vanishes.
(3) My iPhone4S cannot find my shared library (under "More" or anywhere else).
(4) And APTV will occationally load my Mac library to play a purchased tv episode but is highly unstable. 1 in 4 attempts succesful.
Ah, you say, "this all sounds like your home network is either faulty or the signal is not strong enough", or "you have not set up Home Sharing right".
OK, let´s see...
The Airport Extreme station is right next to APTV, and is itself connected via ethernet to my router - and besindes my Mac can still find a strong signal via wifi. I access internet on my wifi-only iPad2 easily throughout the house, nice and strong signal. The APTV menu tells me the signal strength is excellent, and, most importantly - it worked a couple of weeks ago with no change in settings. I played my iTunes Library on my iPhone via Home Sharing, and I watched APTV TV episodes streamed from my Mac upstairs.
So far I have triple-checked the following settings:
Home Sharing on my Mac turned on under Advanced? yes. (House icon appears - until I press the "Done" button, then it vanishes).
Even though the House icon is nowhere to be found, is Home Sharing still "On" under iTunes Advanced setting? yes.
Under Preferences, Sharing, all ticks are carefully turned on? yes.
APTV Home Sharing: the same ID details, correctly entered? yes. And for a little while, or on occation we have access to my library on APTV (but not the other mobile devices). Then it vanishes again (Computer menu on APTV telling me to turn on Home Sharing with ID etc.)
Mobile devices, under Settings/Music, are the Home Sharing details the same as those on your Mac/iTunes? yes.
All software on APTV, iTunes, OIS and Lion up to date? yes, as of 18/12 2011. For iTunes I have 10.5.2 (11)
I also reset Factory Settings on my APTV, which enabled us to watch a TV episode last night, but this morning it is gone again.
Within limits of how many devices I can share my library or iTunes with ? yes, 2 computers are authorised on my ID, and 3 devices are authorised on iCloud (iPad2, iPhone 4S and this Mac).
Have you tried the degrading, not-up-to-Apple-standard way of unplugging APTV/Airport Extreme/Mac power, and restarting your iPad/iPhone4S? Yes.
Does Airplay work from devices to e.g. APTV? yes it does.
Can I access the internet or rent a movie on APTV? yes.
Is this a strength issue with my Mac? Is my Mac fast/strong enough? Yes; it is a 3.06Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, running 8GB/1067 MHz/DDR3. 100GB of available harddrive space.
Dear community - what have I forgotten to do, please? Any ideas?
And Apple: please help your repeat customers with these issues - clearly there are some room for improvement here!?
Regards and best wishes for the Season.

I seem to have a similar problem. I have a Macbook and a PC, both running the current version of iTunes. On the APTV (also running the current software version), only my Macbook library shows up under "computers". Home Sharing is turned on for both and my Macbook library shows up under "Shared" on the PC, but the PC iTunes library doesn't show up on the Macbook or the APTV.
My question then is: How is it that my Macbook iTunes library can show up on the PC and on the APTV, but the PC iTunes library doesn't show up on either? If the PC can see the shared libraries, doesn't that mean it's on the same network? Along those same lines, "Shared" libraries do NOT show up on the Macbook. Again I ask, how is it that I can see the Macbook library on the PC, but the Macbook doesn't show any Shared libraries?
All of this worked just fine before the upgrade to iOS 5 by the way. I had no issues seeing any library on any devices and the APTV found both computers.
Please help. This is really annoying!

Why My MBP cannot run under 64bits Kernel

My MBP model is MacBookPro3,1
As CPU SPEC: INTEL T7500, it support 64 bits Also I do have 64 EFI.
However, no matter what I did, "change the plist" "hold down 6-4 @ boot time"
I only can boot into 32 Kernel.
It shows "64 bits Kernel and extensions: no" ............. Anyone know how can I run under 64 kernel.

Hi and Welcome to  Discussions,
I don't know what's happening, but you might want to try this: http://www.ahatfullofsky.comuv.com/English/Programs/SMS/SMS.html
There's also a very good explanation about what 64 bit means.

Export video from multiple iOS devices to a Mac without using iTunes

I am tasked with importing video files from multiple iPads to a single Mac to aggregate for editing.
The file sizes on each device are many gigs large. I don't want to use iMovie on the Mac or iOS.
I don't want to use iTunes (since there are many iPads not owned by me to import video from).
Suggestions?
Paul

iTunes. Other than that there is no direct method. However, do try the iPhone forums.
