Minimum system requirements for Aperture installation

I've just downloaded the trial version of Aperture, but it won't install on my G4 desktop running OSX 10.4.8. Looking at this discussion, I'm getting the impression that nothing short of a supercomputer with RAM sufficient for the Cray weather forcasting computer at Bracknell will be sufficient to allow installation of aperture.
I'll be charitable and assume that Apple wouldn't be so daft as to release consumer software that has more demanding requirements than Photoshop, but I'm ready to be disillusioned. How can I find out precisely what the miminum system requirements are?

I'll be charitable and assume that Apple wouldn't be
so daft as to release consumer hardware that has more
demanding requirements than Photoshop...
IMO Apple is not daft, and Aperture most definitely is not consumer software. Of course consumers may choose to use and benefit from Aperture so long as they recognize that it is pro software with pro hardware requirements.
Aperture does have more demanding requirements - referenced to 2006/07 time frame on 2006/07 and earlier hardware - than PS in some ways. E.g., PS fails to take advantage of GPUs for anything other than simple blitting, while Aperture accesses GPU power extensively; hence mediocre graphic cards do not limit PS much but do limit Aperture.
Aperture is a pro application in a new different graphics space than PS. Unlike decade-old PS, AP evolved recently, with the power of 2008 chips and system architecture and beyond clearly in the sights of design engineers.
Managing large batches (hundreds per batch) of large (currently in the 10-40 megapixel each range) RAW DSLR image captures fast is a challenge. As of today Aperture clearly is the overall pro workflow speed king in that process. My guess is that with OS 10.5, Aperture v2, and 2007 H2 pro Mac hardware Aperture will start to really show its competence handling heavy pro workflows.
Pros generally are willing to own the hardware necessary to achieve workflow competency. Consumers have the choice of using a lesser app like Lightroom if they are unwilling to upgrade to strong modern hardware but are willing to tolerate an overall less competent workflow.

I'm trying to download the trial version of Adobe Illustrator. An error message says that the OS does not meet the minimum system requirements for the installer. 10.6.0 is the minimum required for installation. How do I get my mac to be a 10.6.0 ?

I'm trying to download the trial version of Adobe Illustrator. An error message says that the OS does not meet the minimum system requirements for the installer. 10.6.0 is the minimum required for installation. How do I get my mac to be a 10.6.0 ? Right now I have a 10.5.8 is there a way to upgrade or something?

Buy the Snow Leopard retail installer (http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDAzOA).
That will take you to 10.6.3.
If required you can then use the combo updater to get to the latest version, 10.6.8 (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399)

OS does not meet the minimum system requirements for this installer. 10.6.0 is the minimum required

How do I get my software? This is the message I am hitting before my download will complete:
OS does not meet the minimum system requirements for this installer.
10.6.0 is the minimum required for installation.

Hi,
May I know what are you trying to download ?
What is the MAC OS version you are using ?
It seems you are trying to download an application which needs atleast 10.6 MAC version
I think you are using lower version of MAC, let us know the version of your MAC , in order to help better .
To check the version : click on Apple Button on top left
select about this MAC, you will get to know the version over there.
If its something 10.5.x , then you need to upgrade your MAC in order to install that application which needs 10.6 MAC
Thanks,

Minimum system requirements for installing Oracle Application Testing Suite

Hi,
Can anyone tell me what are the minimum system requirements for intalling Oracle Application Testing Suite?
Thanks in Advance

From the release notes (12.1.0.2).
System Requirements
Oracle Application Testing Suite has the following system requirements:
4
3.1 Oracle Functional Testing/OpenScript
Oracle Functional Testing’s OpenScript scripting platform has the following system
requirements:
■ Operating System (32-bit and 64-bit versions): Windows XP, Windows Vista,
Windows 2003, Windows 7, Windows 2008
■ Memory: Minimum 1 GB
■ System: x86, 32-bit or 64-bit processor, 2.6 GHz or faster
■ Disk Space: 4 GB minimum
■ Browser: Internet Explorer 7.x, 8.x., 9.x and Firefox 3.5/3.6, 6.x
3.2 Oracle Load Testing
Oracle Load Testing has the following system requirements:
■ Operating System (32-bit and 64-bit versions): Windows XP, Windows Vista,
Windows 2003, Windows 7, Windows 2008, Windows 2008 R2. Oracle Enterprise
Linux 5.1, 5.2 64, 4u8.
■ Memory: Minimum 2 GB.
■ System: x86, 32-bit or 64-bit processor, 2.6 GHz or faster
■ Disk Space: 10 GB minimum free (at least 3 GB free on the system drive)
■ Browser: Internet Explorer 7.x, 8.x, 9.x, Firefox 3.5/3.6, 6.x
■ Database: Oracle EE 10g or 11g, XE 10g
■ Application Server: Oracle WebLogic 11g (10.3.5.0). Oracle Application Testing
Suite requires the standard WebLogic Server installation (which includes jrocket
jdk.). It does not support generic versions of WebLogic Server installation (such as
those that use wls1035_generic.jar).
■ Oracle Load Testing Agent also supported on Linux 32-bit & 64-bit, in addition to
Windows 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems listed above
Note: These are minimum requirements only and actual
requirements for the Oracle Load Testing Server will vary depending
on the size and configuration of your load test. If you are running
larger load tests, of greater than 1000 Virtual Users, you should
consider deploying Oracle Load Testing on a faster server class
machine with additional RAM recommended.
Note: Oracle recommends running the Oracle Load Testing Server
and Agents on separate systems for production load testing. The
amount of memory required on the Oracle Load Testing Agent
systems may increase based on the number of Virtual Users that will
be assigned to run on each Agent. For more information, visit the
QA/Testing Technology Center on Oracle Technology Network or
contact your Oracle representative.
5
3.3 Oracle Test Manager
Oracle Test Manager has the following system requirements:
■ Operating System (32-bit and 64-bit versions): Windows XP, Windows Vista,
Windows 2003, Windows 7, Windows 2008, Windows 2008 R2. Oracle Enterprise
Linux 5.1, 5.2, 4u8.
■ Memory: Minimum 2 GB.
■ System: x86, 32-bit or 64-bit processor, 2.6 GHz or faster
■ Disk Space: 10 GB minimum free (at least 3 GB free on the system drive)
■ Browser: Internet Explorer 7.x, 8.x, 9.x, Firefox 3.5/3.6, 6.x
■ Database: Oracle EE 10g or 11g, XE 10g
■ Application Server: Oracle WebLogic 11g (10.3.5.0). Oracle Application Testing
Suite requires the standard WebLogic Server installation (which includes jrocket
jdk.). It does not support generic versions of WebLogic Server installation (such as
those that use wls1035_generic.jar).
3.4 Additional Notes
The following are additional notes about system requirements:
■ The ATS installer can automatically install and configure an Oracle 10g Express
Edition (XE) database for use with Oracle Load Testing and Oracle Test Manager.
Although this is useful for demos, for production usage switching to Oracle's 11g
Enterprise Edition database is highly recommended. Oracle 11g Standard Edition
and Oracle 10g EE or SE are also supported.
■ System memory requirements do not take into account other processes that may
be running and using memory on your system, reducing free uncommitted
memory available.
■ When installed on the same machine, Oracle Load Testing and Oracle Test
Manager will run on the same server and use shared system resources. Oracle
Functional Test/OpenScript is a separate application that have its own memory
and CPU requirements.
■ The ATS products will run in 32-bit compatibility mode when installed on 64-bit
operating systems. It is possible for Oracle Application Testing Suite to be installed
on an existing WebLogic server. However, if the pre-installed WebLogic server is
JRockit plus WebLogic (64-bit) environment, some functions in Oracle Application
Testing Suite will not work properly. Oracle Application Testing Suite can be
installed on a 32-bit WebLogic, but not a 64-bit.
■ The legacy Oracle Functional Testing, VB-based scripting platform and associated
components (such as Job Scheduler) are no longer included with the ATS installer
Note: These are minimum requirements only and actual
requirements for Oracle Test Manager will vary depending on the
quantity of test assets stored and number of concurrent users
accessing the application. If you have a large quantity of test cases,
requirements or issues stored and/or are deploying Oracle Test
Manager for a team greater than 10 users, you should consider
deploying Oracle Test Manager on a faster server class machine with
additional RAM recommended.

What are the minimum system requirements for GB 4?

What are the minimum system requirements for GB 4? I did search this forum but wasn't able to find a direct answer.
I'm running version 3.0.4 successfully on a lowly G4 733 but I suspect this is as far as I can go.
I'm updating to iDvd'08 and was also wondering if I can safely update to GB4 or not (from GB 3.0.7) on a G4 733 mhz Digital Audio. Any help would be sincerely appreciated. My guess is that I cannot but I'd like to confirm prior to attempting any further updates in GB.

I try my best to play it safely; always. And you were right, everything worked on the ext. FW HD flawlessly ...... truly amazing software!
(I did happen to check the activity Monitor w/in Utilities and it showed GB4 using about 60-67% of the CPU on a G4 733 ..... I'm assuming this is normal).

Not sure if there's a correct order to opening these apps as there has been in former versions of iLife ..... however, this (as shown above) is the order in which I opened all apps, and all worked well.

Error: The installed graphics card does not meet the minimum system requirements by Aperture

I have a Mac Pro 3.1 10.5.8 and Aperture 2.1.4. My NVida 8800gt with 512 mb was over heating so I brought and install the ATI radeon hd 5770 to replace it. Now when I try to start Aperture I get this message "Error: The installed graphics card does not meet the minimum system requirements by Aperture". All other software works fine, ie photoshop elements and Safari. When I install my old card aperture will open with no problem, but of course the card will overheat within 10 mins and I will have no video. I have search on google with no luck. Will upgrading to Aperture 3 fix this problem?

5770 requires 10.6.5.
The 8800GT - there is the 350* bake in over 10 minutes - 50% or better chance
you can find 8800GT on http://myworld.ebay.com/macvidcards/

Minimum System Requirements for Adobe Applications

Hi, I want to upgrade to Adobe Creative Suite 4 Production Premium: main applications: After Effects, Premiere Pro, Photoshop Extended, Flash Professional, Illustrator, Soundbooth etc.
To do this I also need to upgrade to an Intel Mac. What is the minimum (cost) Mac system I could get away with bearing in mind this is very much a training rather than commercial production situation.
Adobe claim system requirements: Multicore Intel® processor, Mac OS X v10.4.11–10.5.4, 2GB of RAM (more RAM recommended when running multiple components) This would suggest a Mac mini (2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2GB memory) would suffice although my own gut feeling would be a top end iMac
Any advice much appreciated

Is there a minimum system requirement workaround?

I know that developers recommend, or force, minimum system requirements for a reason, to give the users the best experiance. However, this negates system upgrades (especially from third-parties). For example, I wish to run encyclopaedia britannica 2007 on my dual 1.6GHz powermac G4, the minimum being a G5 processor. Surely this configuration is enough. My question is 'is there a way I can bypass this check on, not just britannica, but other software (e.g. is there an application to 'fool' the system)?' Thanks alot.

One thing to note is that developers usually will not support their products on systems that don't meet the published minimums. So if you get it to install but have a problem, it''s quite likely that the publisher will refuse to assist. So think about that before purchasing any product that doesn't meet the minimums.
And I'd highly recommend that you confirm that any such product will at least install on your system before you buy the software; some installer checks flat cannot be bypassed.
is there an application to feign higher system components?
No.
