Can we expect more for the Mac?

Does anyone have any info on Oracle products for the Mac? Does Oracle plan to update 9iR2 for OS X? Are there any tools, like 9i Forms and Reports, coming out for OS X? Or, was the current 9iR2 simply an appeasement from a former board member?

Exactly - is there a plan to release Designer, Reports etc for OS X?
For me its the last programs that keeps me on Windows. I would really like to see a release for linux as well...

How long should a new battery last when installed for a mac book pro 2009 with only a web browser opened?

I recently went to the apple store in Covent garden and had a battery replaced for my Mac Book Pro 2009 edition.
After fully charging the mac the percentage guage meter displays the battery is losing power fast. 1% increments goes down every 5 minutes even if I have only a browser which is opened and no other running applications.
My recent test after a fully charged mac book pro allowed me a maximum use time is 2 hours!
I have friends and family members who have the same model as me and their mac book when running on battery, shows that the laptop has about 6 hours use. They are able to run multiple applications and use sites such as Youtube and still get a good 4 hours of use.
Anyway, I have booked an appointment with a Mac Genius for tomorrow to look into this issue.
I thought I'd just ask the community to find out if any of you can help.
Many thanks in advance.

Thank you Donald.
You are the second person to tell me this so this is more of a reason for Apple to sort out issue for me.
The team there don't believe there is an issue with the battery.
Thank you once again.

Save screen takes 30 seconds or more to open

I've been having a problem recently where on any program, whenever I click Save As, or Save for the first time, it takes at least 30 seconds to open the finder window to choose where I want to save the file. I just have the beach ball, and it finally loads up, sometimes taking as long as a full minute. This has only been happening for about a week or two, and nothing else on the Macbook Pro lags. Any ideas what could cause this?

Right, sorry, I was thinking Terminal for some reason. No errors come up while the beach ball is spinning. I do all system updates as soon as they come out, and there hasn't been one since June if I remember correctly. I haven't installed any new software in the past couple weeks. I haven't tried Safe Mode yet, but I will try that soon.
The thing that makes this more tricky is that it doesn't do it 100% of the time. It seems like it will be fine for a while after I reboot, and then it starts doing it. However, it definitely isn't an issue of running out of resources since my Macbook Pro has 8GB of RAM, 40GB hard drive space empty, and the latest processor before the i5 was released.
Another thing to note is that once the save dialog window finally comes up, if I close it and then press save again, it opens normally. However, if I close the application, reopen it, and then try to save, it will hang again.

After upgrading to Lion OS 10.7.5 takes 10 seconds or more to access NAS folders and files

I've upgraded my customers IMacs to Lion OS and whenever they try to access folders on the Buffalo NAS terastation it takes about 10 seconds for the folders to populate with the files. It will open right away but will look blank. If I click get info during this time it says "fetching". I'm assuming it has something to do with the SMB change with lion but don't know how to fix it. I called Buffalo and they said it must be an apple issue. I called apple and they were of no help. THe tech support person asked me to reset my computer and leave it powered of for 30 seconds......ugh. Then I asked to speak to someone higher and we got cut off.
The Buffalo NAS terastation has SCSI drives but they are mounted to an HP Server. So the SMB connection is to the HP Server running server 2003. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Any luck getting the info on SMBX parameters like OPLOCKS ? This is apparently causing an issue with Autodesk Revit. I am resorting to installing SMBUP.
There is an article that describes this method for altering the Lion smbd configuration parameters for honoring ACLs:
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.smb.server AclsEnabled -bool NO

I have to position my iPod Touch 2 for my Mac and PC to detect it. Any fix?

My iPod Touch 2 has to be position exactly the right way for iTunes to detect it. I have restored to non-jailbroken, tried a Google Search, I can't take it into Apple cuz' it is out of its Warranty, and it would probably cost like $100 dollars (NZD) so I have to find a fix. I believe it must be a Hardware issue but when I bought it like 5 years ago it charged fine with a Stock Apple charger. I now use a USB Sony iPod 30-pin charging dock cuz' its easier to connect it. When I restore sometimes, it gives me an error saying that the USB connection failed. If I get it fixed, I will jailbreak it and install OpenSSH and turn it into a server for my stuff. Looking at the bottom of my iPod (where I plug the connector in), it looks like this:
I don't think that helps.
Tried solutions:
Restoring to 4.1 and 4.2.1
Not jailbreaking
Google Searching
DFU restore
Restoring with iREB to an older version.
I will NOT under ANY circumstances take apart my iPod. I have a fear of breaking it, and only if an Apple Certified Technician tells me to then I will consider it.
My iPod Touch 2's version is:
iOS 4.1 (Maximum 4.2.1)
MC model
No custom firmware installed (Like Cydia or Whited00r)

Can't get more than one mac online at once with aiport express

Hi, I hope someone can help - I've searched the forum and been on the phone to level 2 support at Apple for 6 hours to no avail!
I have a D-Link DSL 300G+ modem connected to an airport express and can connect to the internet fine on just one mac if I uncheck the 'Distribute IP addresses' option - if I check this option, whatever settings I have entered has prevented me from accessing the internet at all (I have no idea what settings to enter, I have just followed suggestions from Apple).
This problem arose when following Apple's diagnostics on a minor ichat issue, I disconnected my modem and reset my AX settings (until then everything had been fine.) I have called my ISP and D Link and they tell me the issue is with the AX.
This is my first posted question so I hope I have given all the relevant and necessary information.
Much appreciate any help at all.
Thanks,
Wayne.

Hello Wayne Rosie. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Let's double-check your AirPort Express Base Station's (AX) settings ...
Perform a "factory default" reset of the AX
o (ref: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108044)
Modem/Router Power ReCycling
o Power-off the ADSL modem, AX, & computer(s); Wait at least 30 minutes.
o Power-on the ADSL modem; Wait at least 15 minutes.
o Power-on the AX; Wait at least 5 minutes.
o Power-on the computer(s)
Either connect to the AX's wireless network, or temporarily connect your computer directly using an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, using the AirPort Admin Utility, check these settings:
AirPort tab
o Base Station Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
o AirPort Network Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
o Create a closed network (unchecked)
o Wireless Security: Not enabled
o Channel: Automatic
o Mode: 802.11b/g Compatible
Internet tab
o Connect Using: Ethernet
o Configure: Using DHCP
o WAN Ethernet Port: Automatic
Network tab
o Distribute IP addresses (checked)
o Share a single IP address (using DHCP & NAT) (enabled)
Once you verified that you can get Internet access for all of your computers, you should secure your wireless network.

Instructions for Rebuilding Mac OSX 10.7 with Bootcamp?

Hi Folks!
I'm new to the Mac OSX world (well, relatively) so please bare with me as I ask what may seem a very elementary question....
I would like to completely rebuild my iMac, and include Bootcamp (yes, I want the option at boot-up time; not VMWare) so I can run Windows 7. Is there a document, or website, that would provide these instructions? From booting up from the OSX CD, creating the various partitions, installing Bootcamp, followed by intalling Windows 7?
Thanks in advance for any, and all assistance!!!
Cheers!
Richard

It is very simple. Boot from your original install DVD and run Disk utility. Wipe the complete drive by either erase or partition. Then install OS X. Once that is done run Boot Camp and create a partition for Win 7. Download the support files from Apple for Win 7 and have the Win 7 DVD handy. Insert 7 DVD and install. Once the install of 7 completes (or during the install of 7) load the Apple drivers.
If you want multiple partitions for Mac or Win 7 I'm not sure you can do that and still install 7 or after and have everything still work.
Or you could just buy a lower cost Win 7 PC and place it next to your Mac.

Should it take 20 seconds to dial a call?

On my wife's new iPhone 5, when she hits the call button, or clicks on a contact name to place a call, it takes 20 seconds or more for the call to start ringing. Sometimes it doesn't dial at all, and she has to try the call again. She's got lots of good LTE network signal, and can get data service just fine, but it takes an eternity to dial.
Should it take that long? Any ideas on a fix?

No it should take 20 seconds to make a call out but she may need to complete a reset of the network settings.
Go to settings in the phone> General> Reset> Reset Network Settings ( this will not erase the content on her phone)
It will power the phone off and back on by it self. It could be also that she may be having a network issue depending on were she is having the issue.Although you may have great coverage sometimes you can have too much coverage and that can cause an issue as well. Other option is to do a soft reset which is holding down the home key and power key for about 15 seconds and you will see the apple appear and allow the phone to reboot.
Hope this helps.

Opening a new mail window takes 5 seconds to appear

When I click New Mail it takes 4 seconds to appear for this Window. This is already for many months. I have a .Mac account and three other POP accounts and a fresh other user doesn't have this problem. I might trash some prefs, but I don't want to organize my whole E-mail again. Somebody some clue what to do?

Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network > Show: Network Port Configurations. Make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet is at the top of the list. Also, disable any communications/networking configuration enabled, but not in use. Since you don't experience the problem when logged in as another user, this probably won't solve it, but it's worth looking at anyway.
Now, in Mail go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox Behaviors for your .Mac account. Do you have Store draft messages on the server enabled? If so, disable it and see whether it makes a difference.

What are good quality speakers to purchase for mini mac

what are good quality speakers to purchase for mini mac?

While I can't recommend any brand of camera, you should consider a couple of things about the editing... iMovie 8 is a good program to use if you just need to create something quickly with little real editing and sound manipulation. And iM 8 will interface with both DV tape cameras as well as hard disk/flash drive types as well. You can export the product to web services, etc very easily but it will take some extra effort to create a DVD from the edited shots. There is no direct export to iDVD.
If you want to get more serious about editing, you should consider looking iMovie 6 as it has much more flexibility in rearranging clips, adding and editing sounds, etc. However, it will only interface with DV tape cameras, which by the way, are the highest quality pics available, and you can create DVD disks.
You might try borrowing a tape camera to make a test run and compare it to a camera that uses a HD for storage. Use iM 8 and compare to ease, etc, and the product to one created in iM 6. This certainly is not the kind of recommendation you are asking for, but maybe will help in making your decision about which way to go.

Once and for all: Do I need anti-virus software for my Mac?

I've always heard that you don't really need anti-virus or anti-spyware software for Macs - but I do wonder that there has to be viruses about that would affect Macs?
I do alot of creative and professional work on my Mac. The data on it, means a **** of a lot to me, and I'd hate for my Mac to be infected with something horrible.
Could anybody please tell me if I really do need anti-virus or anti-spyware software for my iMac? And if I do, which one do you recommend? (Ideally I would want it to be cheap and not hog lots of system resources)...
Thank you!

Hi
I can only give you my personal experience on this one.
The short answer is "no". I've been using macs for the past 4 years, my partner for many more. Neither I nor she have an anti virus program installed.
We both use firewall on both the os x setup and via our router. I tend to install the security updates posted by apple after they are released and check the forums to be aware of any potential problems.
A much better idea is to back up your important projects etc on a regular basis to dvd and external hard disk.
I have one experience of anti-virus software on the mac:
About 2.5 years ago i thought i had a virus - my diskspace was being eaten up at a very very fast rate - and i was worried. Found out that the os update from 10.3.2 to 10.3.5 had an incompatability issue with the mcafee shock game controller driver (obscure eh!)
Anyway, after this experience and deleting the driver which i no longer needed, i decided to err on the side of caution and tried out both mcafee and norton. Both of which slowed down my system and norton especially caused problems when i was running logic pro etc. really really annoying.
Once i'd got over my "insecure" stage and having spoken to other mac users i realised anti-virus software was causing many many more issues than resolving any - and besides since then i have still had no problems and have never come across any viruses on mac os x.
It all depends on what makes you feel safer. Personally i wouldn't recommend ant-virus programs... i wonder if anyone has any positive experiences of anti-virus software on the mac?
that's my 0.02 pence

It takes 30 seconds or more for my Mac to be activated with mouse or any key
