Plans to abandon Silverlight?

Are there plans to replace the Silverlight-based Web interface of RT-targets?
Just ran into issues with it and Google Chrome, and the consensus seems to be that Silverlight as a technology is dead...but surprisingly I could not find much discussion about that topic here(?).

There is a version of Firefox 4 available for PPC Macs:
TenFourFox 4.0.1 Firefox 4 For PowerPC Browser Released
Version 4.0.1 of TenFour Fox, FloodGap's port of Firefox 4 for Power PC
Macs that supports both Mac oS X 10.4 and 10.5. has been released.
Mozilla.org dropped support for OS 10.5 after Firefox 3.6 and for Power
PC with the fourth beta of Firefox 4.
TenFourFox uses almost all the same code as Firefox 4 and has nearly all
the same features, including faster JavaScript, WebM video, and HTML 5
and CSS 3 support, as well as new and emerging Web features, but with
the code needed to keep your Power Mac functional and fast. Out of beta
and it's ready for action, versiob 4.0.1 is a performance, security and
stability update incorporating Mozilla's Firefox 4.0.1 plus AltiVec acceler
-ation for WebM and browser graphics, and G5 JavaScript acceleration.
For more information, visit:
http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
Source: from http://www.applelinks.com - posted April 25, 2011)
Now for the intersting bit: TenFourFox, like Firefox, does not support most plug-ins. Unless you are prone to headaches (in which case don't) you can read about that here:
http://code.google.com/p/tenfourfox/wiki/PluginsNoLongerSupported
But there is a workaround!
Open TenFourFox and type in the address bar: about:config (no spaces) and click return. This gives you a warning that it might harm the application. Ignore that and click on 'I'll be careful, I promise' and you get the config file that you can edit - with great care.
Look/search (scroll down) for: tenfourfox.plugins.enabled
Set it to true. (Double click it to toggle it)
Now close TenFourFox, open it again, and Flash will now work, as it now uses the plug-ins that Safari has stored.

Problem with Silverlight 5, version 4 worked great on my IMAC.

Problem with Silverlight 5, version 4 worked great on my IMAC. Since I updated all my movies shutter or they stop to refresh. No one from Netflix or Microsoft can solve this problem. Please advise if there is a fix, maybe drop the silverlight plugin and contract with Flash Player plugin it works with everything.
Please don't advise me to uninstall and re-install the silverlight plugin I wrote a paper on un-installinging this plugin.
Please advise, I know there is an army of frusrated Netfix members out there.

Safari & Silverlight on iMac

Recently I have paid to view the Tour de France online with TDF All Access via NBC, Versus, & MapMyFitness (this is not a plug for them because it's been a train wreck experience--don't sign up unless you love having problems). NBC is providing the Live Stream feed for the Tour using Video on Demand and Silverlight.
Long story short, I (and others using Macs) have to uninstall & reinstall Silverlight every day in order to be able to view the live stream of the Tour. This is insane. Makes no sense.
Does anyone else have any experience with getting Silverlight to play nicely on Mac and/or with Safari 5?

Is MS Silverlight plug-in truly incompatible with pre-Intel-chip Macs?

I am on a PowerPC G5. I'm in need of running a browser plugin called Silverlight from Microsoft. The download site warns of incompatibility on pre-Intel-chip Macs, but then it lets me download it anyway. Afterwards, though, I can't make it do anything. Someone told me there's a software patch to get around this. But they didn't know the name of it. Can anyone here confirm there's nothing more I can do, short of borrowing or buying a newer machine.

Codecs para o quicktime

Hi there,
Oi,
I couldn't find the link to download codecs to allow QuickTime open all videos format, I have already some codecs.
Eu não consegui achar o link do download dos codecs que permitem ao QuickTime abrir todos os formatos de vídeos, eu já tenho alguns codecs.
Could you help me? tks
Você pode me ajudar? Grata

These are the downloads and the settings you need in order to view/hear/play pretty much everything that the net can throw at you: The setup described below has proved repeatedly successful on both PPC and Intel macs, but nothing in life carries a guarantee!
Download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
RealPlayer SP for Mac from:
http://www.real.com/realplayer/mac
Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.telestream.net/flip4mac-wmv/overview.htm (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
Perian from http://perian.org/
You should read this support page http://perian.org/#support in case you need to delete older codecs. In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them). However it should be noted that Perian is not an internet plugin and will not play DivX files imbedded on a website. For that you will need the DivX Player browser plugin available from http://www.divx.com/divx/mac/
The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
(You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/865/cpsid_86551.html#prob1=uninst,os=m10.6,
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
NOTE: On December 8, 2009 Adobe announced plans to drop Flash Player security support next year for Mac owners whose machines run PowerPC G3 processors.
"Adobe will be discontinuing support of PowerPC-based G3 computers and will no longer provide security updates after the Flash Player 10.1 release," said Adobe in the same advisory that spelled out the seven patches. "This unavailability is due to performance enhancements that cannot be supported on the older PowerPC architecture."

You should also consider the Shockwave Player, which displays Web content that has been created by Adobe Director, much used for multimedia: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/internet_utilities/adobeshockwaveplayer.ht ml
Note that if are running an Intel Mac you need version 11 of Shockwave Player as previous versions only run natively on PPC Macs:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/822/82216d24.html
Now go to Safari Preferences/Security, and tick the boxes under Web Content (all 4 of them) to enable Java.
Lastly open Audio Midi Setup (which you will find in the Utilities Folder of your Applications Folder) and click on Audio Devices. Make sure that both Audio Input and Audio Output, under Format, are set to 44100 Hz, and that you have selected 'Built in Audio'.
Important: Now repair permissions and restart.
You should also consider having the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.
There is an additional 'fix' you could try if you are having problems with Flash and Quicktime, depending on which type of Mac you have:
On Intel Macs, make sure that you are not running Safari in Rosetta. You can check this, and change it, in the Get Info window.
On PPC Macs, go to the Hard Disk/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, and drag the file 'QuickTime Plugin.webplugin' to the desktop. Quit and restart Safari. If things have improved you can trash that file. If they haven't put it back, as the lack of this plug-in can cause QT content in some widgets to cease functioning.

Cannot download music or movies

When someone e-mails me a video or i try and download music or movies myself i refuses to open. It just keeps saying i need the proper program - realplayer or quick time, but i downloaded both of those and it still won't work. It also won't allow me to download programs like frostwire.

Safari Mobile and WiFi troubles

Hi,
I have some troubles with WiFi connection in my school ONLY, but *only with Safari Mobile*. Weather, iTunes, App Store and Maps work perfectly well, but Safari is lock on the white waiting wheel on a darken screen.
Bellow is what I can find in the logs. The most interesting line is surely the last one. The school uses a radius authentification and a proxy (only HTTP/HTTPS is allowed).
On any other network I have no problem.

The iPad was never designed to be a laptop replacement, and being a reletively low-powered mobile device, where security and battery-life are of utmost importance, doesn't have all the same features as a laptop computer running a full desktop version of Windows or Mac OS X.
Seems like you should've checked whether the sites you need to access are compatible with mobile browsers (not just on the iPad) before spending your money.
Even if Apple suddenly allowed the installation of plugins, that wouldn't instantly solve your problem, since you couldn't just install plugins developed for Windows or Mac OS X. The developers would have to write them for iOS, and there's no guarantee that that would ever happen.
Even Microsoft have virtually abandoned Silverlight, so don't expect that to be appearing on new devices, especially ones not developed by, or using a Microsoft operating system.

Migration of our reports from Streamserve to XML publisher in Oracle EBS

Dear All,
I am working for a company using Oracle Applications 11.5.10.2 and we have several critical reports developped with Streamserve V3 (Customer Invoice , Sales Order Acknowledgment, Shipping Advice, PO layout, ...).
For various reasons we plan to abandon Streamserve and migrate to XML publisher or BI publisher whose functionalities seem to cover most of our needs.
However, my knowledge of XMLP/BIP is quite basic and I need some information on how to implement the reports.
I will be very glad and grateful if someone accepts to share his/her experience by answering a few questions :
1) What are the main differences between the XML publisher version included in APPS 11.5.10.2 and the standalone version of BI publisher ?
2) In most of our reports the language depends on the third party (vendor, customer, carrier, ...) so in the same report batch we can have some documents to be printed in English, while some other should be in French.
Is it possible to achieve that with XMLP or is the language to be chosen when submitting the concurrent request ?
3) As for languages, the delivery of the document (email or printed paper) depends also on the third party.
Is it possible in a same batch to have some documents emailed and other not ?
4) The bursting engine seems to be the main solution to manage the way documents are delivered.
a) How can we automatically launch it after the main request completion ? (most of our reports are scheduled to run periodically)
b) Is it possible to make bursting with a dynamically generated control file ?
c) What if the bursting engine does not couver all our needs ? Is there a way to develop our own deliver logic ? If so, where to find a step by step procedure to achieve that ? (knowing that we are newbies in Java language)
5) Some of our reports must be generated in PCL rather than PDF. I think that is not native in XMLP so what may be the workaround ?
Thanks in advance for your very helpfull answers.
Best regards
Karim Helali
Paris, France

Thank you Steven for your quick reply.
Here are my comments/precisions :
1) What we would like to konw is what are the functionnalities included only in that standalone version. This way we can decide if it is worth paying the quite expensive extra licence for BIP or if the EBS version of XMLP is enough for us.
I tried out to find this quite basic information without success. If anyone can indicate an oracle reference document
2) I know that the language is chosen via the template. Also, when you submit an XMLP concurrent request in EBS you have to choose which template to apply for the layout. So it looks like it is not posssible within a unique concurrent request to generate documents in more than one language. Is it so or am I missing something ?
3) Regarding documents multiple delivery management, I undertsand that we can do it either with bursting engine or with specific JAVA code implementing XMLP APIS. Even we are newbies in JAVA, we can deal with that. But I am quite puzzled as I find nowhere a document that explains how to develop that and especially how to integrate this within EBS.
Let me explain you our current logic with Streamserve and let me know how this can be implemented within XMLP :
- a report is setup in EBS as Executable type = SqlPlus / Output Type=PDF
- the SQLPLUS scripts takes into account the user request's parameters and generate an XML(like) file including all the data
- at the end the SQLPLUS calls a specific shell that runs the Streamserve step : the XML file is passed to the specific streamserve binary report wich generates several outputs (global PDF for the concurrent request output + global PCL flow sent to the printer queue + 0-n physical file(s) for archiving + 0-n email(s) sent ...)
- The language and delivery modes are not unique within a batch: they are decided per document in the streamserve binary report (based on third party setup included in the XML data file). So we don't need to launch a report batch per language or delivery mode.
I think such process should be possible using XMLP java APIS but I am quite stuck as I don't know how to start. Has anyone implemented such a global process in EBS with XML ?
Thanks again

Is there a way to transfer Game Center data from one account to another?

My appleID was created way back when it didn't use email as the ID. When Game center came out, i created a different account using an email(A) for game center. Now with iOS5, i was forced to changed my main appleID to use an email, thus i changed the game center appleID to a different email(B) (which i plan on abandoning) and use the email (A) as my main accounts ID.
Problem is, all the game achievements and stuffs I have obtained is associated to email(B) now in the game center, when i use email(A) which is now my main account, it is treated as a new game center account. Is there anyway i can transfer my data over?

I am having the same problem
after the update to 5.0.1
I mean updating shouldn't become a task that everyone will dread

I have received emails with attachments such as .wmv .avi etc How do I open them on my new iMac ?

How do I open attachments such as .

These are the downloads and the settings you need in order to view/hear/play pretty much everything that the net can throw at you: The setup described below has proved repeatedly successful on both PPC and Intel macs running Tiger, Leopard and Snow Leopard, but has not been tested on Lion, but nothing in life carries a guarantee!
First read this: Adding additional media format support to Quicktime:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3526
Download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac and operating system, of:
RealPlayer SP for Mac from:
http://www.real.com/realplayer/mac
Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.telestream.net/flip4mac-wmv/overview.htm (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
Perian from http://perian.org/
You should read this support page http://perian.org/#support in case you need to delete older codecs. In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them), particularly any DivX extension to Safari. However it should be noted that Perian is not an internet plugin and will not play DivX files imbedded on a website. For that you will need the DivX Player browser plugin available from http://www.divx.com/en/software/mac
The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFl ash
You can check here what version of Flash player you actually have installed: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html
You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version, 10.2.152.25, 10.3.x beta, or later, is for Intel Macs only, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.0.1.152 is for Lion.
* Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC Macs, you need to go here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. The first one on the list, Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
You should also consider the Shockwave Player, which displays Web content that has been created by Adobe Director, much used for multimedia: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/internet_utilities/adobeshockwaveplayer.ht ml
Note that if are running an Intel Mac you need version 11 of Shockwave Player as previous versions only run natively on PPC Macs:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/822/82216d24.html
Now go to Safari Preferences/Security, and tick the boxes under Web Content (all 4 of them) to enable Java.
Lastly open Audio Midi Setup (which you will find in the Utilities Folder of your Applications Folder) and click on Audio Devices. Make sure that both Audio Input and Audio Output, under Format, are set to 44100 Hz, and that you have selected 'Built in Audio'.
Important: Now repair permissions and restart.
You should also consider having the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.
There is an additional 'fix' you could try if you are having problems with Flash and Quicktime, depending on which type of Mac you have:
On Intel Macs using OS X prior to Lion,, make sure that you are not running Safari in Rosetta. You can check this, and change it, in the Get Info window.
On PPC Macs, go to the Hard Disk/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, and drag the file 'QuickTime Plugin.webplugin' to the desktop. Quit and restart Safari. If things have improved you can trash that file. If they haven't put it back, as the lack of this plug-in can cause QT content in some widgets to cease functioning.
With SilverLight, Microsoft attempted to create their own version of what a replacement for Flash could be - but not to universal acclaim. You can read more about it here:
http://silverlight.net/
So, if you go to any sites that have been designed for this new Silverlight stuff, you can download the plug-in from here (but make certain that you are downloading SilverLight v.1.0 for OS X (10.4.8 upwards) if you are using a PPC Mac, but even this will not work with Safari 4. Version 2 only works with Intel Macs and does work with Safari 4/5. The solution is to download and install the latest version of Flip4Mac, which now includes a Silverlight component:
http://dynamic.telestream.net/downloads/download-flip4macwmv.htm
But the latest news is that Microsoft will probably abandon Silverlight in favour of HTML5:
http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/10/10/29/apples_ios_pushes_microsoft_to_dia l_down_silverlight_for_html5.html and

Recommendation: Close all applications before installing any of the above, repair permissions, reboot, and repair permissions again.

Comparing Photoshop CS2 and Elements 4.0

[If this has already been addressed in this forum, I apologize in advance, but I haven't seen it, at least not addressing the questions below. I also apologize to those who read this on both the Photoshop and the Elements sites.]
For years I've been taking point-and-shoot digital pictures and processing them through one or another photo software doing nothing more than removing red-eye and cropping. I've recently decided to take up digital photography as a hobby and plan to buy a good digital SLR as well as good photoprinter. My method has been to read before buying (and to ask questions on sites such as this one). When I finally start shooting and editing, I want to learn software that I'll stick with, rather than have to relearn, and although I don't have to watch every penny, I don't want to waste money. So here's my question? Should I start with Elements 4.0 or go right to CS2. I may never need CS2, as I'm not planning a career or even a full-time avocation, but I might. So here's the sort of thing I'm confident I will want to do: manipulate RAW photos before processing them in Photoshop; work on differentially changing the exposures within a photo (e.g., adjusting the brightness of the foreground and background differentially, as I've seen talked about in some articles); if I get lucky enough to produce a worthwhile image, enlarge it (using Genuine Fractal's or the like) to make a frame-size print; these are just examples. My understanding is that all of this is possible in Elements, but may be easier in CS2. Also, there may be more advanced features that I'll want to use in CS2 but don't don't yet recognize. Finally, cutting the other way, I don't plan to abandon the point-and-shoot red-eye elimination (and skin tone correction) process for snapshots of the kids to post and send to family etc. So I would welcome any advice on whether I should start with Elements (and maybe stay there forever), go right to CS2, or get both using Elements for snapshots and CS2 for hobby work. (By the way, I've checked the Adobe site, which offers a comparison chart, but it was too imprecise to be useful.)
Thanks in advance.

I'm a year and a half into pse3. My wife gave it to me shortly after I bought a G6, my first digicam. I am still learning all the features of the G6 (after using Olympus OM 2N for years), so learning the camera and software keeps me going.
As to PSE I find it an incredible piece of software that continues to amaze me with so many features to tweak photos. I have bought 3 books; Barb's Missing Manual, Scott Kelby's book and PSE for Dummies. I find that as I shoot more photos and re-read these books as well as the forums I keep coming up with ideas to tackle.
I am retired so I have lots of time to fiddle (but I have lots of other stuff on the go). I'm now just getting into understanding adjustment layers (although I have been using them without getting in to what is actually happening)and I have been importing a few PS actions into PSE (although I think you cannot do this with PSE4)
Every once and a while I think about PS CS2; I could see myself getting it but there's no hurry as there's still lots to learn in pse and the results I get continue to bring on new and better results.
The idea of buyinhg a tablet is a good one if you get PSE with it and you can use a tablet right off the bat. I'm also looking at tablets but to get it at the front end along with the G6 and PSE would have been too overwhelming for me....not to mention being stuck behind a computer for 25 hours/day
You will also find a ton of resources on the web for PSE, enough to keep you happy for a long time.
I am told that CS2 has a much steeper learning curve, but if you run with PSE first much of it is applicable
And then there are stand a lone shows for slides such as ProShow which goes beyond the slideshow in PSE. ProShow together with PSE is awesome.
Happy hunting
Neil
