Opening database from other OS on Intel Mac

I can open a database created on Windows on my PPC Mac.
I can open a database created on a PPC Mac on Windows or Intel Linux
But I don't seem to be able to open a database created on a PPC Mac on an Intel Mac.
Is there a known bug about this ?
Am I missing something ?
I've taken care of all endianness issues I'm aware of and it works between PPC OS X and Windows or Intel Linux.
Thanks.
Andi..

Ok, I made some progress but it still doesn't work. Here is what I learned:
- Restoring my backups works as long as the original log file is there. I can only reuse the log file
if the endianness of both platforms are the same and I verified that this worked indeed.
- When I don't copy the log file, I get the error reported earlier. The problem I reported earlier is not specific to Intel Mac OS X but specific to restoring database files without their log file.
I changed the code to call env->lsn_reset() on the db files as they are copied during a backup. Here are the steps that I take to make a backup:
- create a destination dir
- run env->txn_checkpoint() with DB_FORCE in the source dir
- run env->log_archive(DB_ARCH_REMOVE) at which point I'm left with one log file only
- each dbFile is copied by:
+ copy dbFile to dbFile.lsn
+ env->lsn_reset(dbFile.lsn)
+ move dbFile.lsn to destDir/dbFile
I'm now unable to even open these backed up database files later locally, on the same machine.
After restoring the files, the env is re-created with DB_RECOVER_FATAL | DB_CREATE, and that seems to work, but the db->open() statements on the restored db files fail.
The errfile says this:
file unknown (meta pgno = 0) has LSN [3][2067729].
end of log is [1][28]
./__repository__/__items.db: unexpected file type or format
I did verify that lsn_reset() did something on __items.db, the src file and dst files are different.
What am I missing now ?
Thanks

How do I access open tabs from other devices in Firefox 4 for desktop (windows version)

I want to see the open tabs from other devices but I can't find how to access it.
Where do I find them in firefox 4?
I use the windows version.
Thank you!

This is for all versions (image attached below):
1. In the top navigation (you might have to press the ALT key to reveal the menu), navigate to '''History - Tabs From Other Computers'''
2. Alternatively; open a new tab and type '''about:sync-tabs''' then press enter.
NB: When you open a tab in the 'Tabs From Other Computers' window it '''WILL NOT''' remove that tab from the other device.

I can see open tabs from my PC on my Mac, but I can't see open tabs from my Mac on my PC. Why?

I've set up Sync on my work PC and my home MacBook.
I can see open tabs from my PC while I'm on my Mac, but I can't see open tabs from my Mac while I'm on my PC. Why?

Here is what I am seeing on my Android device - at the top, a few options like History > Top Sites> Bookmarks>Reading List. Then, the search/address bar, then to the right of that, a square with the number "1" inside it, then 3 dots that, when chosen, give you the following options:
New Tab
New Private Tab
Request Desktop Site
Tools
Settings
Any thoughts on how I specifically sync my Desktop open tabs to my Android device so I can then see all my desktop open tabs on my phone?
Thanks!

Moving from Dell PC to Intel Mac

I have a Dell PC and an intel mac. Both have firewire, USB and ethrnet ports.
I would like to share files directly between the two machines, does anyone have any advice on the simplest method to achieve a connection.
I saw in a previous post how to do this but part of the instructions are
"Otherwise, still in Finder, choose "Go" -> "Connect to server". Enter smb://[the Sony laptop's IP address] in the server address box and click connect."
Where can I find my Dell's IP address?
Thanks in advance.
Mark

Use the instructions on this page to find the PC's IP address.

Unable to open ODDC from other machines.

Hi , I am trying to access ODDC server url from other machines. But not able to access it.What are the prequisites to access it from different machines in the same network?

It should try loading the OCX and (when installed) give you the login screen below. What version is the browser? Check OCX install and enablement settings https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/e1465a28-9e18-448a-9bf8-51638bf2452d/activex-installer-service… you may need to use compatibility mode and run IE as administrator i.e. right click start menu link and select Run as Administrator

How open images from other programs & convert to tiff?

I am new to digital photography. I usually take 2 to 3 MB images with my Canon Rebel XT and use iPhoto as my basic program to organize images, create albums, and do very basic editing. I'm running on a G4 Powerbook with OS10.3. I expect to upgrade to iPhoto6 soon. I also use Canon's Image Browser (because it does a better job of compression for emailing that my present iPhoto) and an abbreviated version of ArcSoft PhotoStudio which came bundled with my Canon and has editing tools similar to Adobe Photoshop Elements.
So far I usually use iPhoto's "Preferences/Open in Other" command when I want to open one or more selected images in one of the other programs. I have not found any easy way to locate an image while working in ImageBrowser or PhotoStudio, because iPhoto assigns folder numbers by date, so I'd have to know in which of many numbered folders to look. Placing images into iPhoto albums does not help because while the album names appear in these program's tree view they appear unable to link to them. Canon refuses to answer questions relating to iPhoto and referred me to ArcSoft for any questions about PhotoStudio. ArcSoft says they provide no support for programs bundled with hardware. Typical. What I'd like to know is:
1. Is there any easy way to locate iPhoto images while I'm in one of these other programs?
2. Is there any way to copy an entire album from iPhoto to one of these other programs?
3. I've attended two different digital photo classes in which instructors felt it desirable to convert jpegs to tiffs. One felt it was necessary to reduce the loss of pixels during editing, and the other does it for any image he plans to print, claiming it improves print quality. They recommended getting a special conversion program. Based on responses here to the topic: "Want to save jpeg file as tiff before making edits to photos", others feel that for most amateurs like me this is a minor issue, especially with iPhoto. Testing this I have found, as Kevin Wolfe1 says Feb 12, that compression of a jpeg appears to occur primarily on the first edit and does not sognificantly degrade the image. The programs I mention above appear able to save an edited jpeg as a tiff if desired, but I've noticed also that iPhoto's Export command includes the option to export a jpeg (to desktop or another folder) as a tiff. When I tried this, it did create a file identified as .tif, and I can drag that file back into the iPhoto Library where it remains named as a .tif, and according to iPhoto, this file contains about 5 times the MBs the original jpeg had. What I'm curious to know is, is that a true tiff file or is iPhoto kidding me?
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Typical. What I'd like to know is:
1. Is there any easy way to locate iPhoto images
while I'm in one of these other programs?
In iPhoto 06 you have the option to NOT move imported image file in to the iPhoto library. So they images stay in the place where you put them. With this option the iPhoto library only contains "pointers".
2. Is there any way to copy an entire album from
iPhoto to one of these other programs?
Can't you open an album, select all the images then then use "export"
3. I've attended two different digital photo classes
in which instructors felt it desirable to convert
jpegs to tiffs.
If you are worried about this then you should be shooting RAW format. In your case the camera is doing the JPG conversion and the "damage" is unrecoverable.
iPhoto 6 and Tigeer (10.4.x) has a little bit better supportfor raw format images i yu are worried about something that makes such a small difference then you should be woried about the stuf that makes a large difference first.
You might want to concider this workflow:
1) use Canon software to download files from camera
2) use Canon software to convert to TIFF
3) Import TIFF to iPhoto (using option to NOT consolidate library
4) specify arcedit, PS or Gimp as your external editor
Others might want to lt iPhoto do the import and raw conversion but you said you wanted thr photos to be stored outside of iPhoto's library system you you can find them with out having to do an export.

Can´t open links from other applications, "Firefox no responde..."

When I try to do so, I get a pop-up saying firefox doesn´t respond ( In Spanish: "Firefox se está ejecutando, pero no responde. Para abrir una nueva ventana, primero debe cerrar el proceso Firefox existente, o reiniciar su sistema.")
I´ve already reset my profile , but the problem persists.
This is not the only problem I have with Firefox, also it frequently stalls for several seconds and Windows prints "(no responde)" in the window label.
Of course, if I set as default browser IE or Chrome, I don´t have any of this problems (just they aren´t as cool, but at least work :) ).

Hello  ,
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [[Troubleshoot and diagnose Firefox problems#w_5-reinstall-firefox|here]].
<b>WARNING:</b>Do not use a third party uninstaller as part of this process. Doing so could permanently delete your [[Profiles|Firefox profile]] data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be easily recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u> See [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]. 
Please report back to say if this helped you!
Thank you.

How to open Viewer from other apps? - App 'URL Scheme' has disappeared from Viewer Builder!

Hello
The 'URL Scheme' option in the Viewer Builder did let me to specify a url that made other apps open my viewer. But this option has disappeared from the newer version of Viewer Builder. So. How do I do now to let other apps open my viewer?

Is there a spacial reason that the URL scheme option was taken away from ordinary Multi-issue viewers? It was there in earlier version. I'll explain our situation:
Our client want to publish corporate information; annual reports etc, with DPS. Not really magazines or newspapers you subscribe to.
We are making another app where they publish news articles, videos etc. In that app, we want to have a link which opens the viewer with their publications.
To make this simple thing work, we have to create a 'subscription' to content which is not relly good for subscribing (it is free and announced with push anyway). We also have to tell the client to create Privacy Policys etc for this. A lot of hassle for something we do not really want.
Any chance that this option will come back in v19?

Firefox won't open links from other programs if already running

I've seen this reported many other places, but none of the solutions have worked. I am running Firefox v33.0.2 (current as of this message) on Windows 7 64-bit (fully updated). I did the following:
1. Completely deleted my profile;
2. Uninstalled Firefox, then manually deleted all remaining files on the system pertaining to Firefox and rebooted;
3. Gone into the Windows "Default Programs" control panel (DPCP) and told it to make Internet Explorer the default (giving it all of its defaults);
4. Downloaded a fresh copy of the installer and installed Firefox 33.0.2;
5. Let the installer set my default browser to Firefox;
6. Tested link opening behaviour (see below);
7. Let Firefox set itself as the default browser when it asked me;
8. Tested link opening behaviour again (see below);
9. With Firefox not running, gone back into the DPCP, and had it set all of Firefox's defaults;
10. Tested link opening behaviour again (see below);
11. With Firefox not running, set Internet Explorer to the default via the DPCP, then back to Firefox;
12. Tested link opening behaviour again (see below);
13. Repeated steps 11 and 12 with Firefox in safe-mode;
14. Repeated steps 11 and 12 with Firefox in normal-mode with a new profile;
The observed link-opening behaviour:
- Internet shortcuts (i.e., actual shortcut files on, say, the Desktop) open in Firefox without issue whether or not Firefox is already running. When this approach is taken, no additional firefox.exe processes are created. The process does not have any command-line parameters per Task Manager;
- Links clicked in Thunderbird open correctly if Firefox is not running: one new firefox.exe process is created, I get a new Firefox window and the link loads correctly. The firefox.exe process does not have any command-line parameters per Task Manager;
- Links clicked in Thunderbird yield the "Firefox is already running, but is not responding" message if Firefox is already running. In this case, I see a second firefox.exe process created. Per Task Manager, the new process has the command-line arguments '-osint -url "FOO"' where FOO is the URL I clicked.
From these observations I believe that the link hand-off behaviour is broken. I use a single profile using the as-installed shortcuts.
Intitial version: 33.0.2
Update: Updated to 33.1, still broken.

Under Tools > Options > Advanced look to see if the "check if Firefox is default browser on startup" Check this and then restart FF. If it isn't the default it should ask if you want to make it the default. Choose yes and it should open when clicking links again.

Opening files from hard Drive on a Mac

I recently acquired a Mac and dowloaded Lightroom onto this Mac. I had downloaded photos via lightroom but did not process them as I had to dowload other important photos from another CF Card. I am trying to retrieve the folder with the photos I had dowloaded by importing them again. However, it seems to be greyed and the Deveop module will not show up. I can view the photos but cannot process them. What can I do? Newsgroup_User

That is because the external drive you are using is formatted in the Windows NTFS format, which is fine for Windows.
OS X can READ files from that format but can NOT Write to that format. If you want to use that external drive with both Windows and Mac OS X you will need to reformat it in a format that both Windows and OS X can Read from and Write to.
Those would be FAT32, in OSX it is called MS-DOS (FAT), or exFAT. You do that formatting in either OS X Disk Utility or Windows Disk Management.

Trouble opening Jar from USB stick on a Mac

Hi all,
Has anyone else had any problems running Jar files from a USB stick on a Mac -- directly clicking on them in the finder?
What I've found:
- I cannot run any Jar file I try if it is on a USB stick and I double-click on the jar file in my Mac
- I CAN run jar files from a CD by double-clicking
- I CAN run jar files from USB sticks on Windows directly from the window
- I CAN run jar files from a USB stick on a mac if I call "java -jar" directly from the terminal
I have tried running from USB sticks on several different Macs, and I've tried a number of different Jars that I've created over the years -- nothing works. The Java code isn't doing any path-based finding of files or anything like that.
Anyone else tried this? Are there any solutions?
Thanks,
Sam

Try this:
With the stick plugged in, go to Finder->Applications->Utilities->Disk Utility. From there, you should see your memory stick appear in a sidebar on the left. Click on it, then click on the "erase" tab and follow the instructions.

Firefox 6.0.2 is no longer opening links from other programs even with all extensions disabled

Firefox updated to 6.0.2 last night and now it will not open any links from outside programs. When you click the hyperlink, the window flashes but Firefox does not respond. I have disabled all extensions, it did not affect the issues.
Also with this update, I am unable to use Synergy, Firefox locks the cursor to one computer and will not let it move to another.

I am having the same problem with Firefox version 8.0.1. I checked addons and they are up to date. When I make Chrome my default browser hyperlinks work fine to Chrome.

Open links from other apps in Private Browsing

When other Android apps open links in the default web browser, Firefox Mobile launches them in a normal new tab. How can I force these links to open in Private Browsing?

I'm not aware of a built-in way to do this: as far as I can see, Firefox for Android cannot be set to create new tabs automatically in private browsing mode. I took a quick look at the Add-ons site and didn't see a solution there, either. Hopefully you will get some more promising responses.
