Re: Macintosh OSX Usablity

Mark,
I would be overjoyed and exteremely grateful if I could get a
development instance of WLS 8.1 going on OS X. Any help you could
provide would be very much appreciated!
Thanks,
Tim
In article <[email protected]>, [email protected] says...
We have about 10% of engineers at WLS that have switched to Mac. I'll get
them to respond.

I do have WLS 8.1 running on OSX. The web services stuff works great. And basic WLS J2EE deployments work fine.
I am having problems with deploying from Workshop however. It just doesn't deploy and I get several errors.

Multiple wireless routers with Macintosh OSX - Does not work

I work for Spokane Public Library system as an IT Specialist. At all of our branches, we use multiple WRT54G wireless devices to serve our patrons. We are having notable trouble with Macintosh clients who can get connected to the wireless network but cannot obtain a DHCP address and thus cannot surf the web. We have the WRT54G devices configured with unique SSID's and no wireless protection; basically an open network.
Will having both of the WRT54G's set to the same channel pose a problem? Do Macs on OSX have an issue with the Linksys implementation of DHCP that you know of?
We have verified this problem at all branches; including the use of my laptop which is a MacBook Pro running OSX 10.4.10.
There are other posts on this forum with similar issues and no responses.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

YES! My own resolution... It turns out that it WAS A LINKSYS COMPATIBILITY ISSUE. Updating the WRT54G firmware to version 1.02.2 made it all work great. There was a fix for DHCP in the 1.02.2 version.
This is for both version 5 and 6 of the WRT54G.
Woot!

Macintosh OSX, 802.1x and PEAP

I'm preparing to implement 802.1x port authentication for both wired and wireless connections. The authentication server is Windows 2003 IAS. In the test environment, Windows XP clients can connect fine, but I'm not sure how to configure this for Mac OSX workstations (10.4.6). Has anyone successfully done this? If so could you please explain the proceedure, or direct me to documentation that explains the process?

Assuming you're using NAC fraework then it's bad news, 802.1x won't work on a Mac. If you use 802.1x and L2IP in combination then wired Macs will work but wireless Macs will not. The reason is that the Cisco CTA for the Mac communicates with using EAP over UDP and this transport is not available when using 802.1x alone or over a wireless link with 802.1x or L2IP. The only way of catering for all client types at once (Windows wired and wireless, Mac wired and wireless) is L3IP.
The NAC Appliance "will" support wireless Macs in a future release but (I believe) doesn't at the moment.

Installing oracle on macintosh osx (10.4 tiger)

I did some google searches and saw that I can install oracle 10g on macintosh.When I go to downloads the only mac version I see if the oracle client.
So which version runs on mac?
do any 11g versions run on macintosh?

has oracle stopped supporting the macintosh? I see a
10.1, but no 10.2 or 11g version.
I also did not even see an install guide for the mac
in the 10.1 docs.Oracle has both 10.2 and 11g for Mac Intel projected in 2h CY2008
Looks like they stopped developing for Mac Power PC which kinda make sense .

RemoteUpdateManager for Adobe Creative Cloud on Mac OSX

I am trying to get RemoteUpdateManager working on a Macintosh OSX machine with Adobe Creative cloud, so we can remotely update Adobe CC for a user, as his account does not allow him to run updates.
When I run RemotUpdateManager from terminal (or by double clicking on it), it gives me a popup screen saying:
Last login: Fri Oct 4 09:44:00 on ttys001
ILH04:~ kevincommerford$ /Applications/Utilities/Remote\ Update\ Manager/RemoteUpdateManager ; exit;
Starting the RemoteUpdateManager...
RemoteUpdateManager exiting with Return Code (1)
logout
[Process completed]
The update did not take place, and no remote Update Manager log file at ~/Library/Logs/.
Any suggestions why this is happening, and how I can run get RemoteUpdateManager working to get Adobe CC updated ?

Have you tried to run as ROOT (user)?
sudo RemoteupdateManager

Spinner behaves differently on Macintosh vs Windows?

I have a spinner that sets a value for one of several "zones". If no zone is selected by the user a message pops up.
The codes is:
        sizeSpinner.addChangeListener( new ChangeListener() {
            public void stateChanged( ChangeEvent e )
                ContentRegion activeRegion = ContentRegion.getActiveRegion();
                if (activeRegion!=null) {
                     ... do stuff to this zone
                } else {
                    noZone();
    private void noZone() {
        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(
            parent,
            "You must select a zone to perform this action.",
            "No Zone Selected",
            JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE,
            null);
    }This works fine on Windows (98/2000/XP) but on Macintosh (OSX) the message box won't go away. Each time you click to close the message it flashes and then comes right back.
Oddly enough, the same method "noZone()" is called for a couple of combo box and button action listeners too, and they all work on both Windows and the Mac. Only the spinner doesn't work on the Mac.
Any ideas what that's all about?
Thanks,
--gary

I know zip about a mac, so this is just a stab in the dark (but worth a try)
basically, checks to ensure the spinner's value has actually changed, and
not just fired from (perhaps) focusLost/focusGained
Integer oldValue;//class field
//after creating sizeSpinner
oldValue = sizeSpinner.getValue();//sets to initial value
sizeSpinner.addChangeListener( new ChangeListener() {
    public void stateChanged( ChangeEvent e )
      if(sizeSpinner.getValue().equals(oldValue) == false)//added
        ContentRegion activeRegion = ContentRegion.getActiveRegion();
        if (activeRegion!=null) {
             ... do stuff to this zone
        } else {
            noZone();
      oldValue = sizeSpinner.getValue();//added
} );

File Set Up for CD Auto Play on Mac

I have a small website that I need to burn to a CD and
AutoPlay when inserted into a drive. I have set up a couple
"AutoRun"executable files (for those PCs out there) which works
fine, but the CD will not AutoPlay on a Mac. The HTML files (on the
CD) display as Dreamweaver files, and when double clicked start up
Dreamweaver instead of a browser.
Any ideas on a work-around for the CD to AutoPlay in [any]
browser on a Mac???
Please help! Thanks!!

from the page:
AutoPlay on Macintosh OSX
The AutoPlay feature was silently dropped under Mac OS X. For
usability
purposes, a readme file can be added to a CD's root folder to
instruct the
user about what to do. Many Macintosh resources recommend
this for OSX as
well System 9.
A number of workarounds to enable AutoPlay on OSX have been
posted on
various online resources. For supported procedures regarding
the AutoPlay
feature, check the Macintosh Developer website.

"Sender Name is Invalid" (can't send email from POP account) iPhone 2.1

I updated from V2.0.2 to V2.1 today. I also swapped out my original iPhone EDGE for a new iPhone EDGE due to unrelated problems with the speaker.
Upon testing things after restoring from backup to the new phone I discovered that I could no longer SEND email from my POP account. I could receive email just fine on that account. Sending and receiving email on my MobilMe account also worked, as did sending and receiving email via the POP account while on the Mac computer I use to sync with this iPhone.
After digging into this with AppleCare we discovered that somehow the Port Address for the Outgoing Mail Server for that POP account had been changed from 25 to 587 on the iPhone.
Changing it back to 25 fixed my problem.
We don't know whether the problem was due to the 2.1 upgrade or due to something in the restore process after swapping the phones.
If you get the error message "Sender Name is Invalid" while trying to send email from a POP account on your iPhone, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and select the line for your POP account.
Now scroll down to the Outgoing Mail Server entry which should show "SMTP" and the name of the outgoing mail server for that POP account. Select that line. This will display a list of servers with your POP account server showing at the top as the Primary Server. Select that line.
In the panel that displays, check the Server Port. If it is something odd like 587, that may be your problem. Select the line and you can edit it to something more normal like 25. Touch the "SMTP" button at the top left of the number entry screen to accept that new value.
We discovered that after correcting that value on the iPhone it STAYS corrected even after doing a new Sync with iTunes, or after MobileMe syncs.
--Bob

Sorry you had problems Bob.
Depending on the mail service you are using, Port 25 or Port 587 are usually acceptable for outgoing
SMTP mail. Many cafes will block the customary port 25 to prevent spammers from using their
wireless access.
There is a superb tutorial posted here:
http://www.webmail.us/docs/support/Macintosh-OSX-Mail.pdf
Also be sure for each mail account to turn ON the secondary AT&T server shown at the bottom
of the SMTP server list for each account -- it will make your transition from wireless to Edge
to 3G networks much more reliable.
Thanks for sharing what you've learned. Hope this helps.

Kawai CN41 electric piano will not show up in Audio MIDI Setup.

Hello,
I have a Kawai CN41 Piano that I would like to connect to my Macbook via USB to control some midi functions in Logic Express (incredible software by the way...)
The Manual that came with the piano says that it should just work. But for maximum clarification, I'll retype what the manual says.
"The CN41 piano can be connected with a personal computer with a USB cable for excahanging MIDI data. You need a USB Driver installed in your computer.
[For Windows XP/ME users]
A standard USB driver is already installed in your computer. You don't need to install a new driver.
[For Windows 2000/98SE users]
You need to install the desigated driver in your computer. Visit the KAWAI website at http:/www.kawai.co.jp/english/Download1.html and download the program.
[For Macintosh users]
Macintosh OSX automatically recognizes our USB interface. No Special driver is needed. Older Macintosh OS are not supported by us. If you have an older Macintosh OS, please us an appropriate MIDI interface and MIDI cables when connecting the CN41 piano to a macintosh computer.
NOTE:
When both MIDI jacks and USB port are connected, USB has priority.
When connecting USB cable to the CN41 piano, first connect the USB cable and then turn the power of the CN41 piano on.
It may take some time to start communication when the CN41 piano is connected to the computer via USB. When USB communication is unstable with connection via hub, connect the USB cable directly to the USB port of the computer.
Turning the power of CN41 piano on/off or disconnecting the USB cable while the follwing actions may cause unstable communication.
while installing USB driver
while booting up the computer
while MIDI application is working
while communicating with the computer
while the computer is in energy saver mode
* If you have any problem with USB communication, consult the instruction manual of your computer and check your computer setup.
* The USB-MIDI conversion board TID10000934 used in the CN41 piano is approved to show the USB logo. The USB logo can be used only for the product which is approved by USB-IF (USB Implements Fourm Inc.) test.
* Windows is registered trademark of Microsoft Corporation.
* Macintosh is registered trademark of Apple Computer, Inc."
So when i follow the directions just like the manual says the only thing that happens is my mouse stops working for about 30 to 45 seconds. After it starts working, nothing whatsoever in the department of MIDI. It won't even show up in the Audio MIDI Setup application. Also, I'm not 100% positive about this, but I don't think it's showing up in the System Profiler as well.
I've tried pushing the rescan button in Audio MIDI Setup, nothing.
I've repeated everything with a different usb cable with no improvement.
And I even contacted Kawai Technical Support. The guy I talked to via email said that he wasn't a mac guy but he'd ask his friends who were if they had any problems, his friends told him that everything was working fine for them. Then he told me to go and buy a USB-MIDI interface and plug it into the traditional MIDI ports on the CN41 and see if that would work. (I really don't want to do that, one of the reasons I bought this piano is the midi-straight-to-computer-via-usb-cable-connection connection. Buying a little usb interface would defeat the point. Although, I'll probably buy one down the road eventually. I would just like it to work.)
This piano is really nice, It has keys that feel like the real thing and using it to write some tracks in Logic Express would be a delight if it would work. If I could, I would take this issue to the Apple store in Salt Lake City, but I'm thinking that I would also have to take the piano and its kinda big. I'm using a Macbook running OS X Leopard 10.5.4 with a 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 2 Gigs of ram. I also run a Line 6 Toneport UX2, I'm not sure if there could be any Hardware conflicts, but I'm not much of a computer guy so I figured I'd just let you know as much as I can.
Aside from this thing with the piano, OSX has worked beautifully! I will never buy a Windows running machine again. And the few times when I'm forced to use one, (Work and stuff) I get really cranky.
Thank you for your time,
Jon Worms
P.S. I'm more than willing to scan the manual and email it for you upon request, I tried to find a link to it somewhere with no luck. But you know, thats just my luck. :P

Hey Rob, Thanks for responding!
As far as I can see there is not. The piano does have 3 usb ports on it though. 2 A size ports to go to Kawai approved devices, such as a hard drive for recording directly to portable memory. These plugs are labeled USB to Device. Then it has one B size plug that is Labeled USB to Host. The manual says that this is the one to connect to the computer.
USB Controls do exist though. But manual states that they are for when you plug in a small hard drive/flash drive. The controls allow you to create new folders and move recordings around on a flash drive. And without a hard drive plugged into one of the A size ports I don't get anything but an error message.
Tomorrow I'm going to try and get it to work on a windows box. Maybe i'll have a little luck.
Thanks for your help.

Getting Canon CanoScan Lide 20 to work with 10.4.10 and 10.4.11

When I upgraded to the latest version of Tiger 10.4.10 and .11 ... My Canon Lide 20 which had been working perfectly for years just stopped working. I tried to download the latest driver from canon but kept getting errors. After several different attempts I found this posting on version tracker did what it said and it worked!
"Problems Installing CanonScan Software - Version: 4.1.3, 2/5/2007 06:30AM PST
(3 of 3 users found this comment useful)
robert.loney
For Macintosh OSX users (including intel Macintosh computers) who have problems installing Canon scanner software, including older models. Please try the following steps to successfully install your scanner driver software:
Short Fix:
1. Use the "Deldrv" program to remove previously unsuccessfully installed driver(s). The "Deldrv" uninstaller can be found on the Canon website at the bottom of the Canon scanner driver pop up window that you access to get the drivers for your scanner.
2. Use the "Find?" under the File menu (command-F) or use Spotlight (command spacebar) to find the folder "CFMSupport". Select this folder (don't open it), and use the 'Get info' command in the File menu (command-I) to open information about the Ownership and Permissions of the folder. Click on the arrow beside 'Ownership and Permissions' so it points downwards, then click on the arrow beside 'Details' so you can see the details. Click on the padlock icon so it is unlocked. Then set owner to your user name, set the Group to admin, and set access for all users to Read & Write.
3. Reinstall the CanoScan Toolbox first, then the scanner drivers from the Canon website or your CD, restart your computer."
Uninstalling I think made all the difference. I hadn't done that before. Thanks to Robert Loney for this. I was about to purchase VueScan which also worked... but he saved me $49 buckswhich is more than I paid for the Lide 20 5 years ago.
I also lost my external hard drivers when I upgraded to 10.4.10. never fixed that problem... just went and returned my Western digital Mybooks (both premium and pro additions) (I had been dealing with customer service and returning the ones they kept shipping me for months). I got a Maxtor 750 GB one from Circuit city and it has worked like a charm! I wonder if there was something I needed to uninstall to get that to work as well.
I hope this is helpful to everyone else out there.

To add to Ryan's posting, anyone in the UK/Europe may need to access the Canon US website (http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&tabact=DownloadDet ailTabAct&fcategoryid=351&modelid=6624) to obtain the latest version of the scangear driver 7.0.1.1X and Canoscan software 4.1.3.0. Judging by their file dates these versions appear to have been released in 2007. The Canon Europe site has the older version 7.0.1.0 of the driver.
The tips should may also apply to the LIDE 30 and N670 and other scanners which appear to use the same software.
On my system the permissions on the CFMsupport folder allowed update of the software without changes so you may also find that updating the drivers to these versions is sufficient, and you don't need to bother with the permissions changes.
I have experienced problems with the scan gear software not setting the folder to receive the images correctly. At one point in the scan process - after clicking the scan button - it offered an open file dialogue box rather than a choose folder dialogue. I found that if selected any file in the folder and clicked open the problem seemed to go away.

SanDisk ImageMate works on Vista, but not on Leopard

I bought an iMac when my old Windows XP machine from Dell died last Christmas, and am mostly very pleased with it. I used Boot Camp to install Vista Home Basic on it also, because I still needed to run some Windows software.
I recently acquired a digital camera from my daughter, along with a SmartMedia card reader by SanDisk (model SDDR-55 ImageMate). On the SanDisk website I found a driver for Windows that would work for 95, 98, ME, 2000, and XP. I downloaded it after not finding one for Vista listed. Similarly, there was a driver that would work for Macintosh OSX and OS 10.1. I downloaded it after not finding one specifically for Leopard.
I installed both drivers under their appropriate OSes and plugged the ImageMate into a USB port on the computer. What I found was that it worked fine under Vista but was not recognized at all by Leopard. I contacted SanDisk and they had me verify that it was not a problem with the USB port. Also, they had me try to install it on another Mac (my daughter has a Mac laptop running Leopard) and it didn't work there either. So I know the ImageMate works and the USB port works.
SanDisk then suggested I contact Apple. Is there anything I can do to get the ImageMate working on Leopard?
One thing I noticed was that when I ran Terminal and went to /System/Library/Extensions and looked at a couple of files created during the install on the Mac, the owner and group were different from all the other files, so I made them match the others thinking file ownership might be the problem. Alas, it was not. (I did the install while logged in as admin.)
Can anybody point me in the direction of what to do next?
Thanks in advance,
Sherry

Many thanks to both of you for responding. My guess is that my ImageMate is getting old and SanDisk isn't going to help support it. I'm sure they'd rather I replace it by buying one of their newer models.
One of my lesser attractive qualities is that I am cheap, and hate to throw away anything that still works. Since this little doobie still does (under Vista), I'll probably limp along with it there until I can't stand it anymore and buy a new one. I appreciate learning that some require drivers and some don't: that will help when it comes time to buy a replacement.
Neither here nor there, but this is the 2nd device I've had difficulty with getting to work on Leopard but not on Vista (the other being my HP PSC 1315xi printer/scanner/copier).

Logitech Quickcam Vision Pro as a Flash webcam?

I need a webcam for my Mac Pro. I'm currently running Leopard but plan to upgrade to Snow Leopard soon. I'm looking at the Logitech Quickcam Vision Pro, but I've read reviews that say it works well in applications like iChat and Skype, but isn't recognized as a webcam by Adobe Flash Player for use on Flash chat websites like tinychat.com and stickam.com. I really need a webcam that is recognized and compatible with Flash Player.
Can anyone with a Logitech Quickcam Vision Pro confirm whether it works through Flash player on sites like tinychat or stickam? If not, can anyone recommend a webcam that works well on a Mac for Flash-driven sites like these?

Here is the list :
Reference: Logitech Webcams for Macintosh (OSX)
Question
In order to use a a webcam on your Mac OS X computer, your Logitech camera must be UVC (Universal Video Class) compliant.
