Looking for good real time STOCK program for my Mac (free)

Hi there!
I wanted to throw this question to you guys out there. Does anyone know of any good, may be free, program to keep track of stock quotes in real time. Something with a real time running line with quotes. It would be nice to have something just sitting as a background on my desktop or as a wedget or in the dock, something that can do real time though.
Please advice.
Thanks

Yuri:
Yahoo Finance will give you real time quotes on specific stocks, say, in a portfolio. Many brokerage firm websites like Ameritrade offer Real Time quotes, too, but require that you have an account. Some other sites, and I don't remember exactly, offer a ticker tape type display; off the top of my head I'd say Intuit, CNN Money, MSNBC. Or you can try Market Browser.
If I think of anything else I will post back.

I am trying to translate the labview program to a real time labview programming....i wan to know what te the main isse that i need to focus on

currently i am doing a lift monitoring system which made use of labview. Due to time constraint, i have decided to use the real time labview program. However i have no prior experience on the real time programmng, can i be enlighten on the main issue and what are the thing i ned to look out for. is thre any documentation that i can use?

Derek,
Programming for LabVIEW Real-Time is very similar to programming for LabVIEW for Windows. Many VIs do not need to be changed in order to run in LabVIEW Real-Time RT Engines. However, here are some issues to consider:
1) Drivers
2) File I/O
3) Dialog Boxes
4) Shared resources
1) Drivers. If you application was written in LabVIEW for Windows, and then ported to run on an RT Engine on RT Series Hardware, you need to be sure that the drivers you are using are supported on your platform. See KB 28G97MZ8: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/3efedde4322fef19862567740067f3cc/aad11f924e5b5fd086256a310053a094?OpenDocument
2) File I/O: If you are running your programs on an RT Series DAQ Device, it has no storage device, so file I/O operations will crash. See KB 26FBO0KN:
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/3efedde4322fef19862567740067f3cc/3c35f5e85476579d862569f50067462e?OpenDocument
File I/O on RT PXI Controllers is supported in 8.3 filename format (no spaces in the filename allowed).
3) When your application is deployed, (Operate>Download Application, Operate>Run, then File>Exit without closing RT Engine VIs), you VIs continue to run. However, the RT Engine runs headless with no keyboard, monitor (limited information displayed), or mouse, so any user interaction previously required by your VIs, such as Dialog boxes, will hang or crash your program. For user interaction with a deployed application, communicate to the Host PC using shared memory, VI Server, TCP/IP, DataSocket, or UDP. See ~\labview\examples\rt\rt communication.llb for examples.
4) Even though your programs now run in a real-time operating system, you need to follow good real-time programming techniques. These include: using multithreading with critical tasks set to time critical priority. One time critical VI with no parallel loops. Avoid accessing or using shared resources in time crital VI (shared resources cause jitter). Shared resources include the memory manager (preallocate arrays used in time critical loops), global variables for interthread communcation (use RT Queues). For more information, visit the LabVIEW Real-Time Resource Library in the Developer Zone: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/devzone.nsf/webproducts/c25f8c664230613a862567df006abb06?opendocument

Real time stock quotes

Is there a widget to provide real time stock prices for a few stocks? If not is there another solution to simply following a few stocks live on my desktop?

Shades of Sherlock, I gave up on this widget and downloaded the Yahoo Stock Ticker widget, which you can find by searching in Yahoo's site. Seems to work fine, but behaves differently than mac widgets. It does not appear in the widget bar and stands alone. You can hide it, however, and call it up with your cursor from the left side.

I am looking for a Mac driver for a Muratec MFX 1430 printer/fax/copier. Is there one out there for a Mac?

Looking for a Mac driver for a Muratec MFX-1430 printer/fax/copier
is there such an animal out there?

http://www.muratec.com/new/support/drivers.asp does not appear to support that model at all on the Mac.
Some open source drivers* may exist to support it.

QuotesRT and PortfolioRT are not real time stock quotes!

I just bought QuotesRT and PortfolioRT to check real time stock quotes. But today, after comparing with another real time quotes service and Yahoo Finance real time quotes, I noticed that the stock quotes in QuotesRT and PortfolioRT are not real time at all!
Are there any other QuotesRT and PortfolioRT users out there? Do you see the same problem? How to contact their technical support team?

Hi.. I'm new to mac, I've got a mac book air and time capsule is it possible to save music,video from iTunes Store directly to time capsule leaving my 128GB Mac free? If so please help..

Hi.. I'm new to mac, I've got a mac book air and time capsule is it possible to save music,video from iTunes Store directly to time capsule leaving my 128GB Mac free? If so please help..

You can move your iTunes library.. Apple have explicit instructions to do it. If the library is moved to the TC and accessed over wireless, the efficiency of the whole system will drop dramatically..
A file you download goes.. Modem---TC--Laptop--Back to TC--Store on disk. Double looping the wireless slows it dramatically..
As far as using TC for your iTunes.. you CAN.. but SHOULD YOU?
Store files on the TC.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/24380694#24380694
This is asked several times a day.. obviously people are struggling with their latest SSD being too small.
The TC is not suitable for network file server.. but many people having no choice press it into service as such.
It cannot be partitioned. It was and is and ever shall be a backup device for Time Machine.
Major issues.
1. No backup.. no way Time Machine can backup a network drive. No place to backup to.. So all your files will be at risk. And you will need to buy a third party like CCC to do backup.
2. The TC cannot be partitioned and mixing TM backups and data is not great.
3. The drive is slow to spin up and quick to spin down.. there is no controls.
4. iPhoto in particular can easily corrupt its entire library with wireless networking causing a disconnection to one photo. Even if you do this;;; do not move your photo library... you have been warned!!
5. iTunes will constantly lose connection to the library. The disk is too slow to respond.. itunes on the computer will constantly spit out errors. Even in the midst of streaming the TC can spin down the disk due to caching.
6. Do not use any live files on the TC no matter what else you do.. if you edit files in whatever program the file must be on the local hard disk.
7. The only suitable location for most libraries is a computer. You can plug in an external hard disk.

I have a client who was working with Now to Date, which is now obsolete. She is looking for a mac calendar program that is as close to Now to Date as possible. She has installed Outlook 2012 but finds that is takes too much time to enter data. Help?

I have a client who has been using Now to Date on her Mac. That program is now obscure and she is looking for software that is extremely similar. She has tried Outlook for Mac and it is too labor-intensive for her. She wants a professional look, and something that is not linked to e-mail as she works with a lot of proprietary information. Help?

I could not identify that app in macupdate.com. If a Calendar program, what about iCal? did she try it and disliked? If you go to macupdate.com, and type ‘calendar’ in seach filed, you will be given a lot of apps, you or she should test what it most appropriate for your/her needs.

Looking For Strong Mac Case

Hi,
I have a 13" MacBook Air, Mid 2013.
I am really worried about dropping my MacBook and breaking it. I am looking for a reasonably priced have duty case, like the ones that snap on to it and I have full flexibility of the hinge and that.
Could anyone recommend a good case for my Mac.
Thanks.

Having tried every brand out there, I can honestly say that Booq is one of the best!

I highly recommend their Vyper M3 sleeve too!
Good luck!

Looking for Classic Mac OS QuickTime 6.0.2 Full Install

Hello:
I would like to finally resolve a problem I've had for several years. When I upgraded to QuickTime 6.0.3 a couple of .avi files which played fine with QuickTime 6.0.2 do not work correctly. About 30 seconds into the clips, the video stops. Audio continues fine. I am also unable to convert the files to another format because of a "compression error." Since I know these files worked when I had QT 6.0.2 I would like to downgrade so I can convert the files.
I've looked for a long time, but have been unable to find the Classic Mac OS QT 6.0.2 Full Install file anywhere. Does someone have this? Of course this would be the one file that I do not have a backup.
TIA!

The name of the Apple downloads file for QT 6.0.2 was probably something very close to this:
QuickTime602_Installer.smi.bin
Have you tried searching among those old legacy file downloads on the Apple downloads? I know they are sometimes hard to find and reasonable searches using the Apple search often gets one no where. You might try googling for the old quicktime and get into the Apple downloads through the "back door" so to speak.

New iMac looks for old Mac tower

I purchased a new iMac recently and used Migration Assistant to move my Documents folder over from my old G5 Tower. To the best of my memory, I did not use Migration Assistant to move system files or applications over to the iMac.
Once I thought I had everything configured just right, 3 things occured where the new iMac was looking for the old G5 Tower:
(1) at startup, a dialog twice appeared, indicating that the old G5 could not be found. I used the Accounts/Log In Items to disable start up items that were "unidentified." First problem solved.
(2) When I try to print, the iMac looks for my old G5 when I first try to access a pulldown menu in the print dialog window, and after quite awhile an alert message appears indicating that the G5 server is unavailable. I've tried deleting all installed printers and then reinstalling them, to no avail.
(3) In my folder windows, under the Places list, there is a favorite folder that is repeated twice, one that links to the "04_FT" folder on the new iMac, and an identically named item that does not function as a link (but a folder with this name did live on the old G5) and I'm unable to remove it from the list. When I Control click on it, the only option I get is to "Open Sidebar Preferences."
I suspect that both (2) and (3) are similar "ghost" references back to the old G5, but I don't know how to remove them.
I would very much appreciate any help or suggestions that the iMac community might have to offer.

I would recommend starting over and instead of using Migration Assistant this time using Setup Assistant. They are cousins, similar but different. First SA is more reliable and second it will not create a second user account. Because you are migrating from a PPC machine I would migrate everything EXCEPT applications. You should manually install your apps, this will give you the opportunity to udate the ones that need it and I'm sure there are many. You may even apps that won't run on Intel based machines so why migrate them at all? You can use the Setup Assistant tips beginning at "Second chance...." You can either restore from your old machine or from one of it's backups. I think you'll see it's a pretty clean process, something you passed over (I'm not sure why) when you turned on the new iMac for the first time.

Real-time Sensors Program

It's not as grand as a package management wrapper, but...
Here's the code for a simple C program that will run sensors much like top. I'm sure there's something better out there but I'm not an uber coder yet so, this is my contribution
#include <ncurses.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
int main()
int ch;
int exch = -1; /* halfdelay assigns -1 to getch() */
int fileid;
char filepath[50];
char filebuf[50];
char sysbuf[50];
FILE *fp;
/* avoid different users trying to access the same temp file
by creating random file names */
srand( ( unsigned int ) time( NULL ) );
fileid = rand();
strcpy( filepath, "/tmp/sensorsrt-");
sprintf( filebuf, "%d", fileid );
strcat( filepath, filebuf );
initscr();
raw();
noecho();
halfdelay(1);
curs_set(0);
while ( exch == -1 ) {
/* Check buffer for input to exit loop */
exch = getch();
/* run bash command to create temp file with sensor data */
sprintf( sysbuf, "sensors > %s", filepath );
system( sysbuf );
/* open file; if not, exit gracefully */
fp = fopen( filepath, "r" );
if ( fp == NULL ) {
perror( "Cannot open input file" );
exit(1);
/* Print file to screen buffer */
while (( ch = fgetc( fp )) != EOF ) {
if ( ch == 194 ) continue; /* check for strange characters, you may need to edit this line */
printw( "%c", ch );
printw( "Press any key to exit" );
/* Print file buffer to screen */
refresh();
/* Sensors updates about once every 2 seconds */
sleep(2);
/* Check buffer for input to exit loop */
exch = getch();
fclose( fp );
move(0, 0);
endwin();
/* remove file from /tmp, as it is no longer needed */
sprintf( sysbuf, "rm %s", filepath );
system( sysbuf );
return 0;

funny. I also made a 2 player snake game a while ago.
game link: http://home.hccnet.nl/l.vrooland/spel/lineGame.html
and i also tried to make it multiplayer. (i think a lot of old arcade games have a good multiplayer potential)
I didnt get very far. I guess that was because i went way to fast. (i wanted a lobby, server, ....)
after a while i tried again. i made a 2 player space invaders type of game. AND IT WORKED. the game isnt complete yet (no sync, hit detection or score system) but you do see the enemy ship move and shoot.
this game consisted of 1 application that can act as server or client.
1 client enters a port number (serversocket) and waits, and th other an IP an port number (socket) and connects. after connection the game starts.
i had a TCP/IP connection. a string would be sent over the socket with every move ("left","right","stop","shoot")
i can put some pieces of code here if you want it?
or i gan give the .java file.
im not working on it anymore. i now use it as a template for bigger projects.

Looking for the Mac OS 9 iDisk Public Folder icon

I was wondering if anyone could help me out. I'm creating an icon set of Mac OS 9 icons for OS X. I've been able to locate the regular iDisk icon, as it's stored in the Mac OS 9 "System" file. But, what I can't seem to locate is the iDisk Public folder icon. I found a pic of what it looks via Google Images:
http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b355/eisnerguy1/iDiskPublicFolder.png
If anyone could help me out, that'd be awesome

Hi, Alex -
If you are accessing iDisk while booted to OS 9, you are probably using the utility Goliath to do so.
The icon you reference looks much like those in the set used by Goliath, which can be found in the icl8 resource in the Goltiath program.
Tip - in OS 9, when you copy-paste an icon to a folder to give the folder a custom icon, an invisible file named "icon" is created and placed in the folder. This invisible file contains the "icl" family of resources for the custom icon. This resource is easily opened using ResEdit, and perhaps by other icon manipulation utilities, and eliminates a lot of the clutter associated with opening a program in ResEdit to get to the icl resources.
Because of changes to the icon formats ResEdit itself no longer works well in OS 9.1 and later for alteration or modification of an icon. However, there is a utility that will allow you to create custom icons or modify existing ones -

Looking for most Mac-compatible Multi-function

I've been using an HP OfficeJet 7410 as my multi-function, and while it worked fine with a PC, it has one large flaw when used with a Mac: scanning to a .pdf from the document feeder results in cutting off text at the bottom of the page. (Note: it doesn't do this when scanning from the glass - only from the feeder.)
I've tried all sorts of remedies, but none works, and I've started seeing posts on various forums in which Mac users complain about this, so it seems to be some sort of incompatibility.
Which leads me to seek advice in finding the best multi-function (print, copy, scan and fax) with document feeder, and duplex printing ... for use with a Mac. I don't do much photo printing - mostly text - but good photo quality would be nice to have.
Any advice?

What do you want it to be able to do with your mac? At this time there isn't really anything else. Motorolla has 2 that it worked with apple on but they are extremely limited. Other than that most phones will support music and such via simple drag and drop with USB connection.
