Programs on new Intel Systems

Probly the wrong are to ask, but will old software still run on the new intel systems, ie if i ahve photoshop and were to install on the new macbook would it work, or will i need to get a version that runs on the intel systems, i did'nt fully understand the explaination on the main site
Thanks

Existing PowerPC applications are run under the new "Rosetta" technology - basically an instruction interpreter at system level. However, this is essentially emulation so some performance loss will be apparent.
This is intended as a stop gap measure (like the classic eviroment) while developers recompile their apps as universal or Intel binaries.
In conclusion, yes they will work but may be slow - the faster performance of the new Core Duos may mean you won't notice the difference.

Windows programs on new Intel Mac

Hi there,
I have a 20" iMac G5 at home, a Macbook and now at work, I am thinking of getting a 20" iMac Intel.
Now, I will need to run programs such as matlab and many other data/scientific programs at work - in windows mode. Everyone else runs things in windows and also they only have a site licence for the windows products.
Thus, I figure I either get a DELL or get an iMac. I am just wondering what problems people are having running windows programs on the mac.
Secondly, which application is better for running windows? Can I use parallels or something? I want to be able to switch between the OS systems easily and if at all possible - drag and drop from Mac OSX (email attachment for example) into windows or vice versa...
Any tips appreciated.
Martin
P.S. Feel free to check out my new site web.mac.com/martinirwin

If all the software you intend to use requires Windows, then there is little point in buying a Mac just to run Windows' applications. It would make more sense to buy a Windows' computer.
You can run Windows on a Mac in one of several ways. You can install Apple's Boot Camp software which lets you boot the computer directly into Windows and essentially be running Windows as if on Windows' hardware.
You can purchase Parallels Desktop for Mac which is virtualization software that allows you to install many different guest OSes including all extant versions of Windows and several flavors of Unix/Linix. Parallels is nearly as fast as Boot Camp except for 3D video which does not use hardware acceleration as does Boot Camp. Thus, video intensive applications such as games will not work as well as they would running under Boot Camp. However, Parallels enables you to run the guest OS in a separate window concurrently with OS X. Boot Camp requires booting directly into Windows.
Last, there is CrossOver (currently in beta) that allows you to run Windows applications without actually installing Windows. However, it suffers from the same video problems as Parallels. Furthermore, you can only use Windows' applications that have been "converted" to work with CrossOver and those applications must be downloaded from the developers (Codeweavers.)
Hope this is helpful.

Install on G4 Drive (but upgrading to a new intel system)

I Have an old G4 with specific settings on both the system and some apps that I want to retain when I upgrade it to an Intel based system. i.e. Not start from scratch, or simply migrate files.
I've used SuperDuper for bootable clones for years, and I have plenty of external drives for backups and dupes.
I'm trying to upgrade to Snow Leopard on that old G4 hard drive that I have removed (and will eventually put into a polycarbonate, intel MacBook). I can boot from that G4/Leopard drive via a FireWire connection, but I cannot get Snow Leopard to install onto that drive. I keep getting the error that it is not formatted and "Extended (Journaled)" when I run the Snow Leopard install disk.
I tried formatting another drive as "Extended (Journaled)" then using SuperDuper to clone the Leopard image to that drive, but it apparently still creates the wrong format in the process.
Is there another way I can go about this (Time Machine?), or am I doomed to recreate all of these settings?

Clone the content of that drive to one which is partitioned using the GUID format. The old drive probably uses the APM partition table format, and a Mac OS X installer run on an Intel Mac won't install onto those drives.

Safari crashing frequently on new Intel MacBook-

My wife recently got a new Intel MacBook to replace her old G3 iBook. We used the setup/migration assistant to move her files and settings onto the new computer. Everything has been working beautifully with the exception of Safari.
Safari is crashing frequently. The crashes seem to be especially trigged by forum/discussion-board pages. I’ve read through these forums and tried all of the following with no success:
-- Reset Safari
-- Deleted the Safari preference file.
-- Run all of the system updates.
-- Created a new user account and tried Safari from there.
-- Used Disk Utility to repair permissions.
-- Deleted the Cookies and Cache files in the User Library directory.
-- Attempted to run the 10.4.6 Combo update. (The MacBook won’t let us install it, claiming “This volume does not meet the requirements for this update.” )
-- Used the provided OSX install disks to “upgrade” re-install the system.
...and still no luck. I assume that something bad must have been carried over or introduced with the setup/migration process.
We really, really hope not to have to start everything over from scratch with a complete clean install of OS X. Perhaps someone who understands the crash reports can make some sense out of this and give us some leads on what to try next: (click on links to see several of these crash reports)

The most frequent cause of Safari crashes in the new
intel systems has been Plug-ins that are not
Universal, i.e. not written for the Intel chip. Have
a look in either your Main or User Library>Internet
Plug-in folder for the possible culprit(s).
Thanks for the quick response!
Actually, we had already tried moving the Internet Plug-Ins plug-in folder to the desktop. (Sorry - I had forgotten to include that in my "things tried" list above.) That didn't seem to fix anything - but we'll try it again. I'll list the items in the plug-in folder in a while.

"Program terminated in remote system NONE: Logon failed" when adding a new table

Hello,
I set up a replication flow from a SAP ERP 6.0 EHP7 with SAP ASE 16.0 source to SAP HANA 1.0 rev 82 target
I am using a standalone SLT system NetWeaver 7.0 with DMIS 2011_1_731 (with SP 1 to 7).
I have 100 tables to replicate.
I succeeded to set up replication for 57 tables. These tables are replicating properly.
Whenever I try to add a new one (with LTRC transaction, Data Provisioning -> Start Replication), the new table is marked as 'Failed' after a little while.
When I press 'Show Error Log' button I got an obscure error message:
"Program terminated in remote system NONE: Logon failed "
I do not understand this message. I checked both on SAP ASE source and SAP HANA target. I am still able to connect against both source and target.
Can you please tell how to troubleshoot this error.
Thanks in advance,
Christian

First thank you for answering my questions. I really appreciate your answers.
I rechecked the documentation.
"Application Operations Guide SAP Landscape Transformation Replication Server Document Version: 2.3 – 2014-07-08"
Page 29 - 30
3.5.2.2 Data Transfer Jobs
This section explains the relationship between the number of data transfer jobs and the number of available background work process.
Data transfer and data transformation processing on SLT server system is accomplished by the background work processes of the underlying SAP NetWeaver ABAP application server. Each job occupies 1 background work process in the SAP LT Replication Server system. For each configuration, the parameter Data Transfer Jobs restricts the maximum number of data load job for each mass transfer ID (MT_ID). In total, a mass transfer ID (MT_ID) requires at least 4 background jobs to be available:
 One monitoring job (master job)
 One master controller job
 At least one data load job
 One additional job either for the migration objects definition, access plan calculation or to change configuration settings in the Configuration & Monitoring Dashboard
Example
If you set the parameter Data Transfer Jobs to 04 in a configuration “SCHEMA1”, a mass transfer ID 001 is assigned. As a result, the following jobs should be in the system:
1 Master controller job: /1LT/IUC_REP_CNTR_001
 At most 4 parallel jobs for MT_ID 001: /1LT/IUC_LOAD_MT_001_001/~002/~003/~004
When configuring your data load or replication scenario, consider the following:
 Do not define more data transfer jobs than the number of available application server background work processes. If all available background work processes are already occupied by jobs, any other job will have to wait until a free work process becomes available. This can lead to long wait times until a new activity (for example creating triggers) can start, and can also result in significantly increased latency times for data replication.
 The number of dialog work processes in the source system corresponds 1:1 with the number of data transfer jobs in the SAP LT Replication Server system.
 Besides the work processes allocated by the data transfer jobs you need to provide additional available work processes for controller and monitoring jobs, the migration objects definition, access plan calculation or to perform configuration changes, and so on.
Sizing for SAP LT Replication Server involves determining how many work processes are required to perform the initial load of data into the target system within an acceptable timeframe, and accomplish the change capturing and the transfer of data changes to the target system within expected latency times.
Ensure that you add enough additional work processes to allow other required SAP LT Replication Server jobs to run.
Finally, you map the number of required application server work processes to their system resource consumption (CPU, memory, disc space) using the formulas provided by the SLT Sizing Guide.
With the simple formula below, you can calculate the number of required application server work processes (WPs) on the SLT Server for each active SLT configuration.
The number of required work processes can be determined by adding
 The Number of required data transfer jobs ,
 plus one background work process for Central Master (Monitoring) Job (only one per system!),
 plus one background work process for Master Controller Job,
 plus 3-5 additional empty background work processes (recommended per configuration),
 plus approx. 3 dialog work processes (recommended for each configuration).
Note: A lack of available free application server work processes can negatively affect the data load or data replication processes.
To summarize everything, the number of 'Data Transfer Jobs' must be set depending of the number of source tables, it is not the actual number of tables.
Assume that for my 100 tables I use 10 'Data Transfer Jobs' :
- The number of work processes on the SLT server would be 20. I took the simple formula of the documentation:
10 data transfer jobs ,
+ 1 background work process for Central Master (Monitoring) Job (only one per system!),
+ 1 background work process for Master Controller Job,
+ 5 additional empty background work processes (recommended per configuration),
+ 3 dialog work processes (recommended for each configuration).
- The number of dialog processes on the source server would be 10 ( equal to the number of 'Data Transfer Jobs')
Am I correct ?

Christian

I own Logic Pro 7( I used to have a PowerPC and need to upgrade to Logic Pro 9 (new Intel chip, system 10.8) . Do I need to buy a whole new set or do I upgrade for less cost?

I own Logic Pro 7( I used to have a PowerPC and need to upgrade to Logic Pro 9 (new Intel chip, system 10.8) . Do I need to buy a whole new set or do I upgrade for less cost?

The cost of the Full Logic Pro 9 from the App Store is less than the cost of the discontinued Boxed Upgrade set for Logic Studio (if you could find one) ... so you might as well purchase the full Logic Pro 9 from the App store and be done.

After updating my mac to the new operating system I have had several problems. Now my printer program is not working.
Do you have any suggestions?

Start by telling us what printer you hope to use.
Look at the printer manufacturers site to see if they have a 10.9 print driver.
Assuming you have tried to delete & re-add the printer it's possible that the model is no longer supported.
You can also try the printing system reset…(I think 10.9 is the same as the Lion instructions).

If the model is supported you should be able to add it & the driver will be downloaded.

Major problems with my new intel g5 imac

I recently purchased a the new Intel duo imac (20", 512 ram). The computer has been a total nightmare and I finally have a little bit of time available to hopefully start addressing some of the major issues. When I first got the system, I easily hooked it up and starting using it, everything appeared to be fine. However, I began to notice almost all the applications were unstable and always lagging. For example, the pinwheel idle icon would come up for seconds at a time while switching from safari to itunes on the bottom dock. I installed CS2 on it and realized it was barely useable, it would always crash at least once or twice during a session. The application itself was so slow, it was painstaking just to clone or resize an image. I was really frustrated at this point because the system ran extremely slow compared to my 4 year old PC, which ran photoshop and the internet flawlessly. I thought that maybe I needed to start updating the OS, because I was always prompted to do so when I would start the system up.
I was hoping maybe the updates would make the system more stable and fix the problems I was having. I went ahead and approved all the updates to the OS etc. The update on the OS was around 190 megs, so I went to dinner and came back. When I got home it told me the updates where complete, I just needed to restart. Upon restarting I was met with a flashing Apple, the system would not allow me to get into the OS, it was stuck at start up with a flashing apple with an X through it. I did nothing but download the updates and restart. After an hour of trying to boot up in every why possible, I finally had to boot from CD, nothing solved the problem (disk repair etc). I finally had to break down and reinstall the OS.
Now I am back to square one again, the system is useable but every application is painfully slow. I can't for example, Use Safari, listen to itunes and type in Word. It has to be one or the other, if not the lag is unbearable. Photoshop CS2 is once again barely useable, when you start the application up you can literally read every name that comes up in the splash screen because it goes so slowly (on my PC all that start up info flew by so fast I couldn't make out any of it).
I am at my wits end with it because I love the system I just need it to be functional. I was on some other forums and people suggested I had bad ram, but I have no way to test if the ram is actually bad. Others said I was a moron for trying to run CS2 on a intel mac because it barely works (go figure). They said my only option to running decent applications like photoshop consistently was to install boot camp then windows. I don't want the solution to my problems to be the installation of an OS that I am trying to move away from, because of its supposed inferiority. I think it's sad that people need to install windows just to run photoshop and/or any software with high requirements because the new Intel mac does such a poor job. I know I need to update the system and the OS, but I don't want to have to reinstall and lose everything if it fails upon restarting again. I want things to stop crashing out of no where. Can someone please help me.

I do know that it is easy enough to test the RAM yourself to a fairly good degree.
Memtest is simply the best ram-testing utility for the Macintosh platform with the ability to find intermittent memory problems that are the frequent cause of unexplained crashes or freezes in Macs running MacOSX. Memtest can identify random memory problems that commercially available utilities miss completely.
Memtest 4.13 is now distributed as a universal binary. Just double-click the OS X image file to mount it and then double click the package file to install. Besides providing support for the new Intel-based Macs, version 4.13 also adds improved status reporting for each of the individual tests.
http://www.memtestosx.org/
Memory: 512MB is very minimal. Meaning programs may not have enough to load into memory or take advantage of OS X memory management. Rosetta is almost a mini-OS but very RAM hungry. If you can, I would add another 1GB of memory at a minimum. But first test what you have now.
Also, do run Apple Hardware Test fully as well.
In a very rare case, it could be the disk drive itself that just needs to be erased.
Have you tried repairing your disk drive from the Install DVD? good idea. And backup your system and files to FireWire goes mostly without saying as essential.
If your system does do a forced shutdown/freeze, I would not rely on it repairing itself, I like to boot into Single User Mode (command + s) and run the fsck routine.
CS3 will not be out for -?- 9 months or more and then be "Universal Binary" format. Until then, well, CS2 is itself memory hungry and people buy G5s etc so that they can use 4GB RAM or more.
The ideal would be to upgrade to 2GB RAM, Micron/Crucial or Samsung as well as RAMjet, some place reliable and that warrants their memory fully. I don't think you'll be happy with just the 512MB. And everything was fine to begin with, so that's good.
And there probably are some special concerns with Photoshop, with plug-ins or other applications, or just a corrupt plist/pref file.
Without "adequate" or enough memory, any OS is going to page itself to death, 'thrashing' as it is unable to page into memory enough to run properly.
OS: 80-200MB
Safari or web browser: 80-400MB
etc.

Backward Compatibility of New Intel Processor Mac Mini

Will the data files and applications like Quicken 2006 on my old Power Processor Mac Mini transfer to the new Intel Processor Mac Mini?
Mac mini Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Data files will certainly transfer, though applications are not always a matter of such certainty. Most will, but a few non-Intel native ones may not - or may run but not run perfectly if they were not written to conform to the programming guidelines and thus not be fully compatible with Rosetta.
It would do no hard to try, though if you plan to be reliant on PPC applications from your G4 system, be aware that running under Rosetta, they are not likely to give you notable performance gains, even if you max out the RAM in the Intel model. If you plan to update software to Intel-native versions or have those already, a move to the Intel platform will give you significant performance advantages.

The Early 2006 model 1,1 Core Duo can only run a maximum of 10.6 Snow Leopard. The models Late 2006 Core 2 Duos 2,1 through Early 2008 4,1 can only run a maximum of 10.7 Lion. The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody through the Mid 2010 White Unibody model 7,1 can run 10.8 Mountain Lion.
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 Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD should still be available from Apple for $20. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775 to purchase it. It may still be in the Legacy Products list.
If they no longer have any in stock you will have to buy it from eBay or Apple resellers that still have stock. But you will have to pay a premium since the DVDs are no longer being made. Snow Leopard DVDs are already up to $100 on Amazon.
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=10.6+snow+leopard&_sacat=0&_odkw=mac+os+10.6 &_osacat=0
Once you are at 10.6.8 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 still $29. You must have at least a 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.
