Mac/PC GUI Differences

I am not too sure if there is some sort of property that is supposed to let me correct this, or if it's just a bug, but at school, I program on a MAC using Visual Cafe. It puts the menubar up at the top of the screen (like all menubars are on MACs). When I take my .java files home and work on them (JDK 1.2.2), and I re-compile, it throws the menubar at the top of my frame (like Windows apps do). My program is an image viewer/converter so it is important to have the windows the correct size. Please help me figure this one out.

I'm not too su re if you've already done (or thought of) this, but you could consider using an MDI interface style. One way to accomplish this, would be to keep the menubar at the top of your primary frame and use a JDesktop (in that primary frame) with the images as JInternalFrames. That would be one way of handling it, if you aren't opposed to SWING or are able to do it on a MAC (never tried on a MAC, sounds cool!)...

Does windows or mac make a difference in this scenario?

I work for a small educational institution planning to produce some of its own material into print format. The final products have the following characteristics:
Either small A5 booklets (staple on the spine) or thicker books (perfect/glue bound down the spine)
Either printed in the office (for small batches) or sent to a professional printer (+ binding for large batches)
Content language range from English to Spanish to Chinese.
Content format is mainly bw text (like a novel), with the occasional tables and bw graphics (made by outside graphic designers)
I'm conversant with computers, but have no experience with professional desktop publishing. Here are a few questions in my mind:
Do we really need to invest in InDesign? Our requirement seems to be achievable using Microsoft Word (as it is now) - except I don't know how well Word interacts with printers for large batch printing.
How different would InDesign be on Windows and Mac? Obviously the interface may be different given the characteristics of the OS, but will there be substantial advantage of one OS to another in the professional printing world?
Thanks in advance if you have any advice/opinion/thoughts!
tim

Understanding that I do work for Adobe (and have for over twenty years) and that I obviously have a vested interest in people buying copies of InDesign, let me take as honest a stab at answering your two major questions:
(1)     If you have no real experience with professional desktop publishing, you will find a fairly steep learning curve for InDesign and all of its features. It is not a word processor and some things which may be fairly simple to do if you are fairly good with Microsoft Word may seem very difficult in InDesign. Not that they can't be done, but there is more discipline and factors involved in using this type of software. It is oriented towards serving the needs of those who need to design and execute graphically-rich content for professional publication. Yes, you can type a simple "memo" (remember what those were?) in InDesign, but the overhead of doing so especially if you really aren't at all familiar with this type of software can be quite high. At the same time, you could conceivably use Microsoft Word to do some fairly sophisticated publications, but doing so not only tests the limits of that software, but also your patience and willingness to hack around software limitations. In terms of what you describe as large batch printing, my advice would be the same for both Microsoft Word and InDesign. Create a PDF file from the document and then print the resultant PDF file from either Adobe Reader or Acrobat. If you are going to a commercial printer, that printer will probably appreciate a PDF file (fonts embedded of course) as opposed to a bunch of source files, whether they be Word or InDesign.
(2)     Assuming that you use either OpenType (either TrueType or Adobe Type 1 - CFF flavoured) or TrueType fonts for the document, Windows or Macintosh is fairly irrelevant in terms of how InDesign works, including the vast majority of its user interface. Contrary to what many Macintosh fanboys would have you believe, InDesign (and for that matter, Illustrator, Photoshop, Acrobat, and other Adobe Creative Suite applications) work at least as well under Windows as on a Macintosh and you can go from one platform to the other without having to learn anything really new. Once the printer has your PDF file, it doesn't make a bit of a difference what platform InDesign was run on!
In conclusion, you actually seem fairly satisfied with your current Word-based workflow and your documents are really not graphically-intensive. Until such time as you have such needs and the time to learn InDesign, you might be best off staying with Word. For printing from either Word or InDesign, I most strongly recommend that you create a PDF file and print from that. The PDF file should be in logical page order, single copy. Any imposition or booklet-making should be done either in Acrobat/Reader or at the print device itself.

Boa tarde Flavia.
No SAP GUI Java (for MAC) você pode criar a STRING de conexão direto. É a maneira mais fácil.
Se o SAP GUI Java já está instalado, siga os passos:
1) Abra o SAP GUI;
2) Clique em NEW e informe a DESCRIPTION;
3) Vá para aba ADVANCED e marque a opção EXPERT MODE;
4) Monte a STRING da seguinte maneira:
4.1) Se o servidor estiver usando Load Balancing a string ficará assim:
conn=/M/(IP_Address_Message_Server)/S/36(system_number)/G/(nama_group)
4.2) Se o servidor NÃO estiver usando Load Balancing a string ficará assim:
conn=/H/(IP_Address_server_SAP)/S/32(system_number)
5) Salve e tente conectar.
Por exemplo, no meu SAP GUI Java (MAC OS) minha string ficou assim:
conn=/H/10.777.10.777/S/3200
Minha release do SAP GUI é SAPGUI7.2rev4.
Espero ter ajudado.
Abs.

Mac/Unix path differences causing linking problems?

At our organization, we have a single monster Xserve running Mac OS X 10.6.7 and Aqua Connect where up to 15 users log in concurrently with different UI sessions and work on pages using InDesign CS3 and CS5.
Each user mounts the same AFP sharepoints ("PageShare" for .indd files, and "ImageShare" for page resources) at the same time and they work on neighboring files.
Things have been (mostly) peachy for a year now.
Recently, we've been running into trouble linking images on pages.
The first user who connects has absolutely no trouble. But every subsequent user is unable to automatically link resources on pages.
Curiously, when we attempt to relink a resource, its path as shown in InDesign's Links pallete doesn't change. What was originally reported as a broken link is now considered legitimate.
We're fairly certain this is caused by a mixup between the Mac OS file path (ImageShare:Logos:logo.eps) vs. the UNIX file path (/Volumes/ImageShare/Logos/logo.eps). When multiple instances of a sharepoint are mounted at the same time, a "-#" is appended to the share's UNIX path. In this example case, /Volumes/ImageShare-1, /Volumes/ImageShare-2, etc.
But, the Mac OS file path does not change, even if multiple instances are mounted at the same time — the other users' shares are ignored. The share you have access to is always referenced by the system as "ImageShare".
So, there's a real miscommunication in InDesign between what style path to use and what path is actually displayed. Mucking around in a hex editor, it seems that InDesign includes both Mac OS and UNIX file paths in .indd files, but the Links pallete only displays Mac OS paths...
Is there a way to get InDesign to exclusively follow Mac OS paths which won't change from mount to mount, or is there a way to be more resilient in resolving link changes when the UNIX path has an appended number?
From all I've read and studied, it seems that the workflow we've been using and enjoying for the better part of a year (up to last Wednesday) is somehow impossible. I'm pretty sure it existed though...and I'd like to have it back.
Any thoughts you have would be appreciated.

The Aqua Connect server is a small, yet important, part of our production (so yes, we're properly licensed).
Generally, pages worked on through our multiple-use server are then passed to others to work on. These other users operate individual workstations. A requirement of this workflow is that the Aqua Connect server use the same paths and links as our other users do. Our non-remote users are happily linking away without this issue, as is the initially-connected remote user.
The server was rebooted on Wednesday as we end up doing about once a week. No other changes were made (as far as I can tell, of course).
I've found that no matter what user mounts an AFP/SMB volume (even root), other users cannot access its contents. The Computer window in Finder shows each mounted instance of each sharepoint, but only one of each share for each user can actually be opened by that user. This has been the case since at least Leopard (if not earlier).

HT4928 Mac App Store Difference?

If you buy an app on your mobile device like an iPhone, do you still have to buy the same app again on your iMac's App Store? I'm asking this because i noticed that all of my paid apps on IOS arent available for me to download on OS without having to buy it again.

The apps for iDevices are different than the Mac version and will need to be purchased separately.

Making the leap to Mac 64-bit GUI

Right now, the way I am handling the GUI is making a Windows-native GUI and a Mac-native GUI (Carbon).
However, to make to a 64-bit plug-in, I am looking at moving my GUI over to Cocoa for both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions. (To maintain 3 sets of GUIs would be way, way too much.)
1- Should I try to implement the GUI in Cocoa or should I just move to a cross-platform GUI approach like Qt?
2- If I do go down the Cocoa route... I can't figure out how to get a Cocoa GUI working in 32-bit Photoshop. In the CS5 SDK, I got rid of the stuff in the DissolveUIMac.cpp file and disabled the if statement in DissolveUIMacCocoa, but this crashes Photoshop with a EXC_BAD_ACCESS error that I can't seem to track down.
Any thoughts? :/ Spoiled rotten by 64-bit on Windows... updating was so easy. Thanks by the way to all the helpful people on this forum!!!!!

I'd personally suggest using Qt - its an easy-to-learn, well-designed cross-platform library; it handles internationalization and has a lot of other benefits. And yes, it integrates reasonably easy with Adobe plugin framework.

I'm a PC user but I want to get a new Mac

Well here is a little of my story.First of all I was one of the early microcomputer users having a HP-67 programmable calculator in 1975.Steve Wozniak had a HP-65(previous model)
and he too was a member of the HP-65 users group before he made the Apple 1.Wozniak also worked at HP in the progammable calculator division.I programmed in Fortran 4 on a I.B.M. 360 mainframe in High School with those ridiculous 80 column Punch Cards.I also designed and built lots of electronic devices like a Class 4 Rhodamine 6G chemical Laser with a 3.6 megawatt Pulsed Powers supply and other fun things like a ultrasonic transmitter and reciever scanner in addition to digital circuits when I was a teenager.I really love ultra high voltage,ultra high amperage nanosecond circuitry and its secret implentations.
Now I missed the Apple 2 era because they came out after I graduated High School.I've had several microcomputers in the 1980's like the HP-75,Timex Sinclair 2068 and the Commodore Amiga.A friend of mine got me back into computers when he taught me MS-DOS on a hand me down used 486 class I.B.M. PS/1(it had Windows 3.1 installed on it)in 1998.Later in 1999 I purchased a Pentium 2 class machine and had an up to date PC for the first time.I had also got into configuring,repairing and selling PC's for some extra pocket change cash.
I built and own several newer PC's like a Athlon 1 Ghz system in Jan 2001 and a 3.2 Ghz Pentium 4 Class machine that I built in 2004.I also have built and own a 1.7 Ghz Celeron system.
Well my friend always cracked jokes about the Macintosh and how useless and impractical it was in addition to the platform not having much software that can run on it.
I saw a old Macintosh Classic in a thrift store and purchased it.I recognized that it was a old machine but was impressed with the Mac OS GUI and how it compared to Windows 3.0 or Windows 3.1 at that time.I also saw how the Macintosh GUI OS came out in 1984 and Windows 1.0 was a complete joke in 1985.Microsoft Windows took until 1995 to nearly copy how the Mac OS worked.I found a lot more Compact Macs in thrift stores and repaired 2 pre 6000 series 1983 logic board original Macintosh's.I found great books about the history of the Macintosh like Insanely Great by Steven Levy and just loved the fantastic history and technology of the Macintosh.Both me and my PC friend watched the Pirates of Silicon Valley(TNT original movie) but I too noticed a lot of the simplification and errors of this short drama.I had a Sept 1977 Scientific American magazine that had a article about the Xerox Alto and PARC written by Alan Kay.So I just love the history about the development of the GUI,the Mouse,Hypertext,Networking,Bitmapping the Mouse and especially the greatest inventor of some of these technologies Douglas Englebart who in December 1969 demonstrated 2 GUI OS based machines with mouse and chorded keyes networked machines 40 miles apart and use Video teleconfrencing at the Augmentation Research Center at the Stanford Research Intstitute under funding by DARPA.
I also purchased some more used Macs like a a Performa 636 a 638 and a Power PC 6500.I also found a shrink wrapped Mac OS 9 in a thrift store for $10.Now I've never owned a new Mac or Apple computer but my Uncle had several Apple 2 machines.When my PC friend critisized the Mac I was intrigued and became a Mac and Apple computer defender and lover.I saw a video of Steve Jobs demonstrating a NeXT Machine and noticed how similar it was to the Mac OSX operating system that I've seen on newer Macs in my local CompUSA.Wow NeXT was truly amazing at that time(Yes I know the WWW was invented on a NeXT Machine.
One thing I've noticed that is a constant hassle with security issues on a PC is the extreme extent to which a Microsoft Operating System PC user has to protect his system from attacks on the Internet.As a PC user I've seriously had to install 5 or 6 VALID(and there are 100's of fake) Anti Spyware programs on a PC to HOPEFULLY

Nice to hear your story.

Experience Scanning with Acrobat 9 on a Mac

Friends asked for a copy of a 4-page document we'd used in a study group. I'll just scan it in with Acrobat! Then we have the benefits of its being electronic. Plus it'll give me a chance to try out Acrobat 9, which I just got, and scanning on my Mac (on Windows until recently).
Why it took me an hour to scan the document:
Acrobat can assemble a PDF file from scanned pages and OCR it. I'll just scan in this four page doc and send it out as PDF. Simple, right?
Bring up the Acrobat panel to Create PDF From Scanner, and it says to select a scanner. There are none on the list. Hmm.
When I set up my Mac a few weeks ago I tested and was able to scan. Maybe it's because my printer/scanner is now plugged in via TimeCapsule rather than directly as before. Can my Mac see it? How do I know? Can it see the printer device--perhaps both printer and scanner don't come online at the same time. Bring up Sys Prefs, it shows a green light by the TimeCapsule-connected printer. Ah, but it did that yesterday even though it could NOT print to it. Bring up the Print Queue for that printer and click Utility. ...scanning for printers...found none. Do I believe that? Try printing to it. It works. Finding none doesn't mean it isn't working.
Try plugging the printer/scanner directly into the Mac. No difference.
Follow the "maybe scan is different from printing" thought. Where is the System Prefs for Scan/Fax? Doesn't seem to be one. Maybe it's just TWAIN drivers. How was it I tested scanning initially? Search [Finder] for scanner. Nothing obvious. Futz around a bit. Ah, it was Image Capture.
Image Capture CAN see the scanner. So I could scan in by hand to separate files and assemble in Acrobat. Sure would be easier if Acrobat had control of the scanner as it [presumably] knows more about what it needs re scan settings. Search Internet for problem. Aha, found it on the third hit. The Epson TWAIN (scan) driver must not be Universal binary. Acrobat sees only Mac Universal binaries.
Check Adobe documentation to see if there's a way around this. None found. They don't even acknowledge the Universal binary requirement when talking about Mac.
So, scan separate pages using Image Capture. Ahh. The document's printed on really thin paper so type from the back side is bleeding through, badly. How can I adjust the contrast on the scanner to compensate? Nothing obvious. What if I tell Image Capture it's Text? No, that just seems to change Bit Depth to 1. Changing it back to 8 causes the Document type to be Photo. Well, at least there's a setting for B&W Photo.
Scan to TIFF files (the default). Go into Acrobat and create a PDF from the four TIFFs. Run OCR. Hmm. Still looks awful because of bleed through in image--OCR just adds invisible (selectable, searchable) text on top, without discarding image--and file size is rather large. It's good enough, but now I'm curious as I've had better results with this in the past with Acrobat 8 on Windows, though it's been so long I can't remember exactly how.
Back to the Internet to read about OCR in Acrobat 9. Ahh. I think they phased out the previous method I used and replaced it with "ClearScan", a new technology which creates Type 3 approximation fonts on the fly and places those visible on top with the scanned image, greatly compressed (and de-skewed) underneath. They recommend scanning at 300 dpi (I'd used whatever the default was, 150 I think).
OK. Try scanning again. Set to 300 dpi. Hmm. Must be SOME way to change the contrast to correct the bleed through. Ahh. It's set to "Image Correction: None". I'd missed that before--my bad. Try "Manual". I get a control panel. No contrast but I can affect brightness separately in Dark, Midtones, and Light. Turning up Light does it. Scan all the pages again. Bleed through is gone (as seen in Preview windows that pop up).
Go into Acrobat and recreate the PDF from the TIFFs. Well, it won't let me see the files. I scanned them into /tmp. (I've set up a symlink of /tmp to /FinderVisibleRoot/tmp (along with other hidden / dirs).) tmp is greyed out though not others in that dir. Futz around a bit trying other operations which open a file panel, come back, and now tmp's not greyed out. Sigh.
Create the PDF from the TIFFs. Looks exactly like before, bleed through and all. WTF? Check the TIFFs in Preview--as expected; no bleed through. Perhaps something got cached. Close and restart Acrobat and try again. Same result.
The Image Capture adjustment to Brightness must not have changed the actual scan but some meta data stored in the TIFF. ??
Where can I tell Acrobat to honor that? There are no options when I open files to be combined to create the PDF. "Try again, Luke." Nope.
Let's try just one file at a time with Create PDF From File. Same problem. The files panel for opening those files DOES have a Settings... button, but it's greyed out. It's set to "All Types", which includes TIFF. What if I change it to just TIFF? AHA!! Now the Settings... button is active. Not obvious to me (I get why, given multiple types could be selected, but my gosh).
Now I can control how Acrobat changes the incoming TIFFs (I'm guessing PDF doesn't support TIFF directly so converts to JPEG, CCITT, etc.). Not exactly sure how conversion works so futz with a few of what I imagine are the obvious options. No effect. Hmm.
Ah. Maybe Image Capture (or the driver) is actually creating a color profile to affect the image adjustments I made, and embedding that in the TIFF. Can color profiles be put in TIFFs? I didn't think so. Turns out they can. And retaining embedded profiles was turned on in the conversion settings by default for all image types EXCEPT greyscale. :-) Turn it on for greyscale and try again. Voila!
OK. Go back to Merge Files Into Single PDF to do all the pages. Oops. There's no Settings... option where I can tell it to keep the embedded profiles. Sigh. Use Create PDF From File for each page then merge those.
Now run OCR with ClearScan on the resulting PDF, and keep only very low resolution of original scan. Result is a small (196K for 4 pg), clean looking, fully searchable document!
The on-the-fly Type 3 fonts it created aren't great (flaws visible when zoomed). I think an older technology we had at Adobe of trying to match scanned chars to available fonts stands a better chance for high fidelity (and this may still be avail in a non-ClearScan option). However, I still like the new ClearScan technology for some uses like this, where fidelity isn't such an issue.
Hopefully, the Universal binary problem on Mac with Acrobat will go away at some point (when I get a new printer? ) so I'll just be able to scan directly into PDF. And Adobe will need to add Settings for Merge Files Into A Single PDF to control color profile handling, etc.
Thanks to all the Adobe forum folk whose posts informed me for this task.
--Dan

When I posted the message, it showed me "More Like This" with some relevant threads. Relevance was pretty cool.
I read there are Acrobat app-wide conversion settings for importing different file types. If I set Preferences/Convert To PDF/TIFF settings, it affects files specified to Merge Files Into A Single PDF. It's still inconsistent that I specify it one way for Create PDF From File and another for Merge Files Into A Single PDF, but at least it can be done.

Mac lost contact with HP color Laserjet 3700 via USB

Hi,
Since a few days I can't get connection anymore with my HP color Laserjet 3700 via USB-cable. My Mac recognizes the printer with its name, also states when I plug in the USB that the printer is online. However, when I want to print documents, it states "wait until the printer is available" and no prints are generated.
Via an iMAC, I tried to print via the same USB cable, and that works fine. I tried rebooting, software updates, all the lot. Nothing worked. I found some technical details via About this MAC and the difference between my MacBook en iMAC is:
PPD-version = 16.4 on the iMAC and 17.3 on my MacBook
CUPS-version = 1.4.4 on the iMAC and 1.4.5 on my MacBook Pro
Who has any ideas what I can do the get printing again?
Thx,
Aldert

Via other threads I found the solution:
see: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2640270&start=15&tstart=0
I had the same problem "Waiting for printer to become available... " - HP LaserJet 2500 L with iMAC 11.1 running Mac OS X Version 10.6.5. since the "HP Printer Software Update 2.5.2".
This also helped for me:
1) delete all of the items whose name starts with "hp_" in System/Library/Extensions
2) Disconnect the printer and turn off the printer
3) delete the printer if it's still there
4) reset the printing system
5) restart the Mac
6) empty the trash
7) turn on the printer and reconnect the printer to the MAC
8) reinstall the printer

Mac Pro using Mac Mini as Print Server

Hi all,
Mac Pro is wired to my network, Mac Mini is Airport connected.
I'd like to use Mac Mini as a Print Server without keyboard and mouse. I've installed OSXvnc-server on Mac Mini and Chicken of the VNC (CVNC) Client on Mac Pro.
Mac Pro's keyboard is azerty as was Mac Mini, it's impossible to loggin with Chicken of the VNC, password is not accepted, I connect an azerty keyboard to Mac Mini and I can loggin.
Typing on Mac Pro in Mac Mini TextEdit through CVNC give weird keyboard layout, not only azerty qwerty different layout.
In between my two Mac Mini there wasn't any problem using CVNC and the same server but Azerty Qwerty layout.
Is there any other solution to use Mac Mini as a print server ? What about using Desktop remote connection ?
Thanks,
Peloche,

Ah… right! That explains it.
So what model printers are they?
Ned,
Printers are HP Color LaserJet 2550L, HP Photosmart 8250 and Epson EPL-5900L.
I've changed the VNC Client from "Chicken of the VNC" to "VNCThing".
Now I can log in from Mac Pro using its Azerty Keyboard as Qwerty Keyboard.
Once logged in I've set Mac Mini Keyboard to "Extended (or Expanded ?) American" keyboard within System Preferences, with this option Mac Mini see the Mac Pro Keyboard as an Azerty layout...
I've connected two printers through USB2 Hub connected to Mac Mini and the third one direct onto Mac Mini USB port.
Back to Mac Pro "System Preferences Fax & Printers", "+", immediatly the 3 printers have been proposed, I've selected them and tested all: it works perfectly.
Mac Mini is set to "restart after power cut" and is connected for power onto a remoted control power distribution sockets, that means Mac Mini is starting and stopped when printers are powered on and off.
The sole small issue is that I can't find how to display Mac Mini GUI on Mac Pro at a better resolution than 1024 x 768.
Thanks for your time,

Mac .app projector oddities

Hello.
I have a project that was working fine with the .hqx
projector files on the Mac. We'd drop them onto the Mac to unstuff
the file and the resulting player worked great locally as well as
via a DVD. With Flash CS3, we do the same thing with the .app
folder, however, on the Mac (OSX) desktop, the app doesn't play
with several attempts. However, after burning the project to a DVD
with Toast, the app works fine on the desktop. It only works after
the DVD is burned, however.
The only explanation I could find from Adobe thus far was due
to the path requirement on a Mac needing to be colon-based
(drivename:path:sub-path) versus slash-based
(drivename\path\sub-path). I'm assuming that isn't a requirement on
the DVD but doesn't explain why the app doesn't play on the desktop
initially and then works fine after the project has been burned to
DVD.
My biggest concern is with older Macs and if the .app process
will play fine from DVD on those computers. Is there a minimum
system requirement for this new projector? (e.g., Intel-based, OS8,
etc?) And, if there is any problem with older Macs, will I have to
drop my files back to Flash 8 to export an .hqx file to fix that
problem?
Thank you for any assistance with this.

Some additional information that I found out...
The .app file seems to be corrected somehow when a DVD is
burned. We tried Intel-based and pre-Intel-based Macs with no
difference in the ability for the original .app playing. However,
each time the DVD is burned, the player on the Mac desktop works as
expected. So, I'm trying to determine at this point what would
change to allow the project on the desktop to be playable. It works
for the duration, even with the DVD out of the drive. When the
project is removed and a new version is dropped to the desktop, the
new version won't play.
We never had this problem on previous Flash versions because
the .hqx file was unstuffed on the Mac. I'm thinkin' the current
problem is due to the fact that the original project was published
on a PC, put up on the network and then dropped to a Mac.
Anyone else experienced this?

Is JDeveloper production ready for the mac?

Hi
I have a macbook pro (dual core, 4 gb of ram, OS 10.6.3), and I am trying to start developing webcenter applications in JDeveloper. I am using version 11.1.1.3.0, with the webcenter extension installed, but I cannot really work with this.
Problems include:
Crashes (several this morning), being very slow, taking ages to deploy even the simplest applications, huge CPU and memory usage (100% and >1000MB) and a lot of errors with the weblogic server, including an unreachable console and taking forever to load a simple application.
I have followed the official installation procedures (including defaulting to Java 6, making a symbolic link to classes.jar).
In its current state I cannot use JDeveloper for any real work. So my questions are:
Is JDeveloper considered usable for production on the Mac, and does anybody have any useful tips to improve?

Hi Jesse,
I have been using 11.1.1.2.0 for a few months now, so the following comments apply to that release.
Everyday I use jdev and adf on my macbook pro. I also have a PC set up with the environment so I can compare. It crashes a little more often on my mac, but the difference is not catastrophic as if you are used to work with adf/jdev, your used to a few crashes here and there.
Here is a post I followed to install the environment http://jipp-jipp.blogspot.com/search?updated-max=2009-11-18T12%3A35%3A00-08%3A00 which is mainly a reference to a post from Andrejus http://andrejusb.blogspot.com/2008/10/jdeveloper-11g-production-on-mac-os.html
For the memory usage it is normal for jdev to use more than 1GB gb, and from my experience it keeps on requisitioning more as time go by so I restart jdev a few times a day.
Good luck

Mac to buy or not to buy

is it worth buying a mac book? I know this us a support discussion so um asking for just that. I have a pc w/ vista. Its a year old compaq. Use it mostly for school n entertainment. How does it compare to a mac book. I'm looking at the one that is 1099. Pc vs mac what major differences? Pros n cons of it. Anyone think mac is over hyped? Software? Pls be honest n response. Thanks in advance

well lets see where to start. well you say you have a compaq running vista, comparing that to a macbook i would say the macbook would be better for entertainment. the macbook is very powerful yet very portable. the macbook includes i life 08 which had itunes(a music software),iphoto(photo editing and storage software), imovie(movie making software),garageband(music making software),idvd(dvd making software),and iweb(website publishing software). these are all included with the macbook when you buy it. A compaq running vista of course dosnt come with all of this great software. including the fact that overall the macbook features MacosX10.5 leopard which is way better than vista in my opinion, id say that a macbook would be the choice for you. well i hope this answer helped a little .
