Mac OS X Intel and Oracle

When will Oracle support OS X.
Especially for Developers is the intel OS X a very nice machine.
But I'm waiting for more than a year for the Oracle Database.
When will we get the OS X Intel version?

There is more to this wish than seeing Oracle databases certified for OS X Server.
I want to believe that one of the reasons Oracle is so competitive is that they made a wise decision to make so much of their software available for download on OTN. I am among the developers that took advantage of this for educational purposes, and having so many people with Oracle skills had to have helped Oracle sell. Contrast this with Informix, which had a dedicated following (and to be fair strengths in certain applications). But trying to get "play" versions of Informix was impossible, and see where they are now.
Back to OS X, I believe we are seeing the Mac approaching a critical mass on the desktop. I still have my Dell/XP, but only because of a few holdout applications that don't run natively on my Mac (I know about VMware and have it, but it's only close, not the same).
Not even Apple loyalists (and I am not one of them) can tell Steve what to do. This should not stop Oracle from porting at least XE to OS X. And even if it never makes it to OS X server, there's a good argument to support OS X on Intel for the desktop. Even if Apple is now focused on being the iPhone company.

I am running OSX 10.5.8 on a Power Mac 5 (non Intel) and get a message that "FF4 is incompatible on this platform."

I have a G5 (late) running OS 10.5.8. I downloaded FF4 and tried to install in my Apps. folder. The FF app. icon shows a white do not enter type sign on it. and a message that says, FF4 is not compatible with this platform.

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.You can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox

Mac OS 9 Client and Oracle 9i

We have some Mac Clients with OS 9. They are actually connected via Oracle Products for Macintosh (SQL*Net 2.3) on an Oracle 8i Instance. Now we want to migrate to Oracle 9iR2. Can we use the same client configuration? Is there any newer client software for Apple Macintosh?
Thanks for your help

Currently you can use the OCI8 client - it works fine against Oracle 9iR2 - and it works in Jaguar and Panther. You can even use Powerbuilder or Xcode to compile your apps.
(the OCI8 client includes the necessary Net8 files)
if it's java, there is also a JDBC/Thin driver.

Differents dvds for Intel and G4?????

Hi, i have one mac based on intel and a G4, can i install the mac os x updated (10.4) from the dvd of my intel based system into the G4(now it has the 10.3)??????
Thanks

The DVDs are different.
Also, It sounds like a risky thing to do, if it doesn't work, it could destroy any info on the G4. It won't physically hurt it though.
Last but not least, the Software Police will hunt you down because Apple's EULA states one purchased system software per one computer.
PS: I was just kidding about the Software Police.

Please describe the problem in as much relevant detail as possible. The "etrecheck" fad hasn't made that step any less necessary. The usual results of posting etrecheck output on this site without a full description of the problem are very poor.
The many "failed" warnings that etrecheck sometimes spews mean nothing. Those warnings are not a reason to reinstall the OS, or to do anything else at all. They should be ignored.
The better your description of the problem, the better the chance of a solution.
For example, if the computer is slow, which specific actions are slow? Is it slow all the time, or only sometimes? What changes did you make, if any, just before it became slow? Have you seen any alerts or error messages? Have you done anything to try to fix it? Most importantly, do you have a current backup of all data? If the answer to the last question is "no," back up now. Ask if you need guidance. Do nothing else until you have a backup.

Can both an intel and a PPC mac use time machine on the same TC?

I just got a TC and have successfully used time machine with a MBP. I was about to install Leopard on my PPC eMac in order to use time machine on the TC but I wondered if they could both use the TC hard drive as it is currently formatted.
As I recall, intel macs use journaled GUID and PPC machines use another format.
Am I deluded?

I don't think there is a problem, and I believe others have reported in these forums that they're doing it.
There is a lot of confusion in this area compounded by a number of people who say that some of the Apple KB articles are wrong/misleading.
But in this case it's more a case of it doesn't matter - here is why.....
The Time Capsule disk comes formatted, you can erase the disk via the Airport Utility. That's the closest you can come to formatting and you don't have options - so it does whatever it needs to do to get it right.
The machines being backed up don't access the Time Capsule's disk(s) directly as they do on a locally attached disk. They do it via AFP network disk protocol and the Time Capsule disk is in effect insulated from the machine being backed up.
(As an aside, it's because of this - the differences in what can be done over AFP - that the Time Capsule stores the backups in a different file format)
If you add a USB attached drive to the Time Capsule you can also erase it with the Airport Utility as above. In my case, I've attached a USB drive to my Time Capsule. I never had the Time Capsule erase it, but before attaching it I attached it locally and formatted it GUID and HFSJ and it work just fine when attached to the Time Capsule. Does it have to be formatted that way - I don't know - all I know is in this one case what I did works which doesn't prove it has to be that way.

Do I need to install Mac OS X 10.4.8 Update (Intel) and firmware

Hiya,
I recently bought a new Macbook Pro,it is Mac OS X version 10.4.8, i am just wondering whether I need to install Mac OS X 10.4.8 Update (Intel)?
I also tried to install MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 1.2, however it says the computer doesn't need to install it. And I checked my Boot ROM Version is MBP22.00A5.B00. After the update it should be: MBP11.0055.B08 (MacBook Pro 15 inch). So I don't know what to do?
please help!
Thanks.
Catherine

"Do I need to install Mac OS X 10.4.8 Update (Intel) and firmware"
You don't "need" to install anything. If you think you can benefit from the updates then go ahead.
"i am just wondering whether I need to install Mac OS X 10.4.8 Update (Intel)? "
If it came with 10.4.8 preinstalled, then you do not need to install it.
"So I don't know what to do?"
Nothing. If it says the update isn't needed, then it's already been applied at the factory.

Mac Intel and Real Player - some info

I've been grappling with the problem of getting Real Player to run on an iMac Intel for some weeks. I have now solved my problem so post my experience here in case it is helpful to anyone else.
Only a few weeks ago Realplayer was not written to run on the Intel iMac. This was not obvious from the Real site (a sign that marketing people are in charge over there, all negative information is banned in case it creates a bad impression, never mind the cusotmers going mad trying to find out some basic and essential information).
Well Real Player does now run on the iMac Intel. Again the Real website is useless for any serious information about the why's, when's and wherefore's of this, but it can now work, so I'll be happy with that.
However when you install the Realplayer (I installed the free version, don't have experience with the paid for version, experience so far doesn't incline me to pay for it) it may not work straightaway. One apparent problem is that behind the scenes it seems to set your Audio output to a higher bit rate than is appropriate. This creats the apparent behaviour that Real player runs, and successfully streams, but no sound emanates.
Here are the things I did at the end of which it worked.
1. Find the Real Player application under Finder, click on it and select "Get info" (from Finder menu) and tick box to run under Rosetta. I am not sure if this is now necessary but I did it and it works, so I'm not undoing it.
2. Open, then close GarageBand. This was recommended by other posters.
3. This is what took me ages to get right.
Go to Applications/Utilities
Open Audio MIDI Setup
It should open in the Audio Devices tab, if not, click on Audio Devices tab (top middle, left tab)
In selection box marked "Properties For", select "Built In Audio"
At this point the right hand pane should open with details of the built-in speakers for the iMac Intel. Note that if the right hand pane is empty or has a message about Output not being supported, this is because you need to select "Built In Audio" under the "Properties For" box.
Makes sure that under the Format selection box you select "44100"
Close Audio MIDI Setup and then run Real Player.
Hope it helps someone.
Or maybe I was the only one left struggling with this!

Mac Book Pro Intel Core Duo 2 overheating and turning off

I've been having this nasty problem with my Mac Book Pro Intel Core Duo 2 (2.8 Ghz, 4 MB 1067 MHz DDR3 RAM, bought in August 2009) for quite a while, but recently it's intensifying.
It starts to overheat badly, and then randomly turns itself off if not connected to the power.
When restarted, the clock is set to January 1st, 2001.
Needless to say, the overheating impacts on my capacity to use the computer the way I want, destroying my fps in games and slowing the processor while I use Ableton Live to produce music.
I tried to look around, but I cannot figure out if this is a known issue of some sorts, or a problem related to this very computer: I did read on the forums a suggestion to run the Hardware Tests from the Snow Leopard DVD by booting the system with the DVD in while holding d, but nothing happens if I do so.
Thank you all in advance!

Hi Ben,
how does your listener.ora look like ?
Mine is:

and listens to the ethernet and airport address.
When do you get the problems ?

Does last generation mac's support Intel Quick Sync and Intel Clear video HD technologies?te

Does latest mac's with Intel HD3000 Integrated Video supports Intel Quick Sync and Intel Clear Video HD technologies? Which software packages use it? Do I need to upgradde my OS?

Speaking as the real Alec dot Muffett (at gmail dot com; also Google me) - I would also be interested in my namesake's question, but mostly from a video rendering viewpoint.
Also I am interested to learn whether someone else shares the same name as me.

I have a newer MacBook Pro with an AMD processor. It is my understanding that Parallels can only be used on Mac's with Intel Processors. Is that true and if so does anyone have recommendations about how to have a windows side to my Mac

Then it either is a pirate clone or you are misinformed.
Apple Computer has never used AMD processors in its products.
However, the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) is a Radeon unit, which is an AMD subsidiary. Parallels, VMWare, VirtualBox will all work fine with the Intel Core i7 or i5 CPU that powers the Mac, and use the AMD Radeon GPU that drives the displays.
