MIgrating to Mac Book from LabView 6i (Windows 98)

Hi ! I have a question about if its possible to migrate a project from LabView 6i running in a Windows 98 machine to a newer version of LabView and Mac OS X.
The project reads data from FP-AI-110 (http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/es/nid/2185)
 The machine with Windows 98 connects to the FP-AI-110 using a RS-232 serial cable.
Thanks for your time !
Solved!

I do not think there is any support for programming compact FieldPoint on the Mac. However you should be able to communicate via RS-232 from the Mac.  No recent version of a Mac has an RS-232 port (I am not sure any Mac ever had a native RS-232 port). I have used USB to RS-232 adapters built around the FTDI chip with success on the Mac.  I do not recommend adapters with the Prolific chip or drivers.
At least the Mac II series had (almost) all a serial port. Electrically it was actually RS-422 and physically it was a somewhat odd connector but with a little adapter cable it could usually be used as RS-232 too.
There used to be a VI library that implemented the Optomux or whatever it was called protocol of the serial interface on the FP modules. It was meant to allow access from RT targets back in the early days of LabVIEW realtime, when things were all not so much integrated as nowadays.

    How can I transfer photos from my Mac Book Pro to my windows computer.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Transfer them to an external disk formatted in "MS-DOS (FAT)" with Disk Utility > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU1.html
    If you have the pictures in iPhoto, choose them with the Command key, go to File menu (on the menu bar) > Export, and copy them to the external disk. Then, connect your external disk to the PC and move them.
    If you have the pictures in Finder, steps are the same, but in this case, you will have to drag the pictures you chose to the external disk that you can find in the Finder sidebar, under "Devices"

  • I bought a used Mac Book from the widow of a neighbor who had died.  We don't know the password.  How can we get in to set up wireless printing??

    I bought a used Mac Book from the widow of a neighbor who had died.  I am trying to set up wireless printing for a new HP printer and it asks for the Administrators password.  Is there any way to break through this and create a new password?

    Is the Macbook running? If yes, go to Apple Menu About This Mac to find out the version of Mac OS X you are running.
    If the computer is not working, do you know the model, or the version of the operating system on the MB?
    You can track down some information with the serial number. Here's how to find the serial number:http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1366
    With the serial number you can identify the model on this site:

    When we know the model it will be much easier to answer your questions.

  • I bought battery charger for my mac book from the different store, and i want to verify that is genuine product or not?

    i brought battery charger for my mac book from the deferent store, and before i plug it to my mac book i want to verify that is genuine product. how do i get to know that?

    It should have an Apple part number at the bottom of the charger and an embossed Apple logo on the face of the adapter.
    Anyone can stamp a logo on the side, of course, so I would take a good luck at the part number and do an Internet search for the part number, making sure that it's genuine Apple.
    Good luck,

  • I have a 2008 Mac Book Pro partitioned running windows and are running out of drive space. Can I upgrade hard drive for more capacity?

    I have a 2008 Mac Book Pro partitioned running windows and are running out of drive space. Can I upgrade hard drive for more capacity? I purchased a faster drive initially, but has 200 GB capacity. I am running out of room and would like to upgrade for more space if possible.
    Can anyone suggest an alternative?

    You don't need to partition your drive to run Fusion, only if you want to run Bootcamp.
    If you have space on your Windows partition, I would suggest you backup your Windows partition, and then, delete the partition using Disk Utility.
    You can now restore your virtual machine to a single volume or repartition if you prefer.
    I would consider upgrading to a unibody MBP (used, refurbished will do) just to be able to access the HD. Opening the pre-unibody MBP is not something you would want to do.

  • Printing from a Mac Book Pro to a Windows 7 64 Bit Box

    Before I upgraded to Win 7 I have no problem printing from my MBP (snow leopard) to my Canon IP4300 hooked up to my Vista Ultimate Box. Once I upgraded it to Win 7, I can no longer print. We have 2 Mac Book Pro's and this error can be duplicated on both.
    When I set up the printer everything appears to work fine. My MBP see's the Windows computer, see's the printer, and add it's after asking me for my username and password to access the Windows PC.
    However, when I try to print I get this error:NTSTATUS_INVALIDPARAMETER and the job says it is waiting for authorization. So I enter the username and P/W again and same thing happens again.
    I am going to assume that this is a Windows issue but does anyone have a work around or a setting that works?
    Has anyone else seen this error?
    Thanks in advance

    I am going to assume that this is a Windows issue but does anyone have a work around or a setting that works?
    Had to laugh about this. Of course it's a Windows issue (this time...). You didn't change your Mac's, you've installed a new OS that is only a week or so old, that probably won't get updated for a year (based on past performance from Microsoft). Could have just as easily been the other way if you had installed Windows 7 first and then MacOS
    Meanwhile, Windows 7 has new features that you might need to turn off. I've read that the "Home Group" feature interferes with File and Printer sharing to non Windows 7 computers. I'm not an expert with Win7 yet, so I'm guessing...
    I got sick of this years ago and just make sure that all of my printers have an ethernet port. Every OS I can run can print to an IP number. SL changed it's printer system, Vista changed it's printer system, Win7 changed it's network share system. None of this matters at all with a network printer.
    Are all of the machines on the same workgroup? Here's an earlier post with similar issues and errors: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1217688&start=15&tstart=0
    Good luck with the problem.

  • How to migrate Photoshop Elements Organizer from MacOS to Windows?

    I have been using PSE Organizer for a long time now; started on Windows.  When v9 arrived with near identical functionality and user interface between Windows and Mac, it took the risk to migrate from a stable Windows environment to MacOS.  This served a certain purpose, but proved to not be the ideal situation.  I currently have over 21k pictures (most now also on Adobe Revel).  I an staying with Organizer because, I believe, it is the best photo "organizer" out there.
    Challenge:  source is all on a Mac, back-up is on Revel, and I want to move PSE Organizer from Mac to Win, without having to start tagging all over again.
    Questions:
    1) Can this be done?
    2) How can I do this while keeping all my tags and categories, as well as sync with Revel?
    Addressing this will finalize my upgrade to v11.
    Thank you in advance for ideas, suggestions, expertise and experience.

    Please find my comments inline with the question:
    1) Can this be done? : Yes this can definately be done. To do this you need to take backup on Mac and restore on Mac. This will ensure all media,tag,album and their association remaining intact. For details on how to, please refer: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/elementsorganizer/using/WS3d021fd412237a2f14afb0171392eec10c6- 7ffe.html
    2). For sync with Revel: Elements Organizer11, provides you to import/export media to/fro Revel client (on both Win and Mac). I would suggest to downaload a trial version and see for yourself if it suits your purpose.
    Please let me know if you need more info on it.

  • Can I use the migration assistant to migrate my Mac Book Pro to my new MacBook Air. Is there any problem with this since the platforms are not identical?

    I have Mac Book Pro ( bought November 2010) that I want to migrate all of the data and applications from, over to a new Mac Book Air? It was suggested that I use the Migration Tool as it is supposed to make an exact clone of the Mac Book Pro machine and put it on the Mac Boor Air. Can that really work if you are going from one platform to another?
    I was also told I could restore the data from my time capsule to the MacBook Air.
    I'm looking for the easiest method that will leave me with as little to do as possible to get up an running on the Mac Book Air afterwards. I'm not a real strong user and don't want to have to reconfigure applications to make them work.
    Thanks

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Connecting your MacBook Pro and your MacBook Air will be the fastest way, but you have to spend money on cables and adapters (also, your MacBook Pro doesn't support Thunderbolt).
    As you have a Time Capsule, one thing you can do is to start your MacBook Pro and make a Time Machine backup. Then, turn on your MacBook Air and set it up. Setup Assistant will ask you to restore a backup, so select the option to restore the backup from the Time Capsule and be patient. This can take a lot of time if you have to migrate a lot of files

  • How to restore new mac book from time machine

    i curentley have a mac book and am planing on upgrading to a pro but i have to sell this one first. can i restore my new mac pro using the time machine backup from this mac book or is there another way i have to do this being as i wont have both laptops at the same time?? 
    thanks for any help..

    If you can recover the old machine (may not be worth the cost), then you could deactivate directly. A lot depends on what crashed, the HD, mother board, or other. On a PC, the hard drive can sometimes be recovered with SpinRite as long as the crash was not fatal. There are other tricks too, but all of them depend on the crash conditions and what the problem is. If the hard drive is actually good, maybe you could just put it in another machine and run the deactivation. Of course, not everyone has a bunch of machines on hand to play with. For PCs, I often head to the department surplus pile and see if I can find something to work with (not my stock). If I find a working machine there, then I just swap it out. Of course, that is for work machines. For a home machine, I might do it for testing or repair and then put things back after the repair.

  • We have a Mac Book from 2007 System Version:     Mac OS X 10.4.11 (8S2167)   Kernel Version:     Darwin 8.11.1

    We have a mac book purchased in 2007 System Version:          Mac OS X 10.4.11 (8S2167) Kernel Version:          Darwin 8.11.1
    Which OS X version should we or can we upgrade to? 

    A retail 10.5 Leopard disk will run you over $200 since they haven't been made for over 4 years so they're getting pretty rare.
    The 10.6 Snow Leopard DVD is in the Apple online store. You can get it for $19.99. You will need to be running 10.6.8 to access the App Store to order Lion or Mountain Lion. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    You can upgrade from 10.4 straight to 10.6 with no problems as long as you have at least 1gb of RAM. Any program that runs under 10.4 should run under10.6. See this list for third party programs compatibility with 10.6: http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/  You might have to upgrade some drivers for printers, etc.... And you will have to install Rosetta if you have any Power PC applications 
    http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/snow_leopard_installing_rosetta/  
    I recently upgraded an older MacBook (Early 2006 model 1,1) straight from 10.4 to 10.6.
    Once you are at 10.6.8 if you want to upgrade further Lion is still available from Apple. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775. to purchase it. Then within 3 days you will get an email with a code which you can use to download Lion from the App Store.  The price is $19.99.
    You must have at least a Late 2006 model 2,1 MacBook.
    Lion will require at least 2gb of RAM but really needs 4gb to run smoothly.
    As for third party programs see this list for compatibility with 10.7 http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    Also Lion doesn't run any Power PC programs. To see if you have any Power PC programs go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up select Applications under Software. Then look under Kind to see if any of your applications are listed as Power PC. Universal and Intel will run under Lion.
      Before Mac switched to Intel processors in 2006 they used Power PC processors from 1994 to 2005. Power PC 601 through 604, G3, G4 and G5. Applications written for the Power PC processors need the application called Rosetta to run on Intel processors. This was part of the Operating System in 10.4 and 10.5 but was an optional install in 10.6. With 10.7 Lion Apple dropped all support for Power PC applications.
    First we need to know which one of the 9 different models of MacBook you have. To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.
    The model 2,1 (Mid 2007) can use 3gb of 200 pin 667mhz PC2-5300 RAM
    The model 3,1 (Late 2007) can use 6gb of 200 pin 667mhz PC2-5300 RAM

  • I want to copy my library to my mac book from my mac how do I do that

    I want to copy my library to my mac book how do I do this I tried using my back up but it did not trasfer the library as events?

    Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.

  • Can I add my mac book pro onto my Windows based network?

    Hi everyone! I just got my Mac Book Pro a couple of weeks ago and let me say, its my first mac computer ever. I love it! I have a windows wireless network, and I can connect to it wireless with no problem. The only thing I can figure out is how to use my printer connected to my windows machine. I dont know if you can add a network printer on a mac like you can on a pc. Can someone help me out?
    Thanks in advance.
    2face

    If your priter is a network printer then it should be connected via ethernet or wifi to your network with an ip address....yes mac computers can print using network printers..
    now you said your printer is attached to your computer which means you do no have it on the network... you may have it shared to your workgroup.
    mac's are able to connect to xp workgroups (not sure about vista).. i will attach the link to how to attach a mac to your windows workgroup..(its pretty much attaching yourself to the network with user name and pw)
