Request 3rd party software section with subfolders

Let's centralize all our apple users to one main site for help. I am tired of surfing various websites for help. This is not a very Mac like experience. I am use to simplicity. How about an area for various programs so we can help each other. For instance "Quickbooks for Mac" readily is unsupported by Intuit. Macs who run business have limited options in Accounting software. It would be nice if we could help each other in an area here, rather than surf the internet for similar issues.

I was just trying to think outside the box. As apple users expect the finest and easiest computing experience, A mac user might expect to have a "different experience" over a PC purchaser in that they can go to one site to handle "any" apple related issue. There would certainly be disclaimers posted. In addition this site is primarily devoted to users helping users. I wouldn't expect apple to make comments or suggestions related to the topic. - I come to this area after not finding the information through regular help documents as they typically aren't acknowledged (whether it's apple product or 3rd party). I would not expect all software to be listed, but allow for a space if the program is a massively used by macusers. Mac people stick together and help each other, that is one of the great reasons for owning one. It would increase traffic to the site, which is good promotion for Apple.

Recording 3rd party software synth with the synths interface open.

Just got ABL Pro, pretty cool. As you can see from the following screenshot it's like a vintage synth with all kinds of parameters, etc.
http://www.audiorealism.se/ablprocookin.htm
Is there a way to leave the ABL Pro interface open in GarageBand while recording so I can tweak the knobs in real time?
Message was edited by: Mike J. W.

You're right, that doesn't help me. =D
I'd be able to tweak this synth in real time while recording in Logic Express though right?
And then if I got an M-Audio Oxygen 49 controller keyboard to go with Logic, I'd be able to assign those knobs to the real knobs and sliders on the keyboard?

USB Sync with 3rd party Software

Seem like Verizon is determined to press using it's restrictive syncing technique with MS Outlook. I guess they still want to compete with Outlook. There is an issue with USB sync with the Droid X.
Android OS 2.2 supports TETHERING, but Version does not. By allowing tethering, 3rd party software can sync with the Droid X via USB.
Why is Verizon restricting a feature so many business users want? To compete with Apple, Verizon should wise up and support its user communit to allow easy syncs with Outlook (Contacts, Notes, Calendar) at the subdirectory level. Business people will not post their sensitive information on the Google site in order to sync with their phone.
Wise up Verizon! You are missing an opportunity in your battle with Apple!

Hi Nitsan
You need to contact Oracle to see if they can help you. Supporting a Discoverer installation without a support number (CSI Number) is not the right thing to do. You need to pay up and buy the necessary support so that you can get the help you need.
Having said that, Oracle do produce lists of certified operating systems and platforms etc and you will not have a lot of luck if you go outside those boundaries. I'm not saying that you have but usually if their product works on one platform but not on another it is usually something at the platform end that is causing the problem. In this case the first place I would look is to see whether there are any settings within the 3rd party security software that can be applied to tell it that anyone running Discoverer inside IE is allowed to do so.
It may be as simple as allowing JInitiator to work. You may also want to try using the Sun JRE instead to see if that helps.
I strongly recommend you buy a support license. You can buy these relatively cheaply and they can be purchased in groups of I believe 25 requests (could be a different number) thus keeping the cost down. If you yourself are an independent consultant you can buy your own support license and use that to get help for your clients.
Best wishes

Why does Adobe install 3rd party software with PE 10 without asking?

I purchased Photoshop Elements and Priemere Elements 10 together. During installation Adobe installed SmartSound Sonicfire Pro 5 on my computer. The installation did not ask if I wanted to install this software and there was no option to not install it. I am the only one who installs applications on my computer so what gives Adobe the right to decide what to install for me. Sonicfire Pro 5 is unwanted by me and it pains me greatly that software was installed on my computer without my consent. Besides it takes up 30GB of disk space. Yes I can uninstall it and I will but it should not have been installed in the first place. I bought Photoshop Elements 10 and Premiere Elements 10 because I was happy with my purchase of Photoshop Elements 6 and Premiere Elements 4 and wanted to have newer versions but now I am very unhappy. I will never buy a Adobe product or suggest Adobe products to anyone ever again. The only thing that would change my mind would be if Adobes next version did not contain any 3rd party software or if it did one should be given a choice during installation as to install it or not and Adobe should give me a free version to replace the one I have. As those two things are unlikely to happen I will continue to never buy any Adobe software or suggest to anyone to buy Adobe products and faithfully watch the stock market as Adobe stocks continue to decline. Guess what I do for a living!

I did not answer you question, because I have no answer. That was why I recommended contacting Adobe. Though, at times, it might not seem like it, but they do listen to their customers. They collect tons of data, and try to prioritize things, based on that input. This is for Feature Requests, or just comments on how one likes, or does not like, the software.
In very general terms, I find Adobe products to be very benign, and especially to many other companies' software.
Over the decades, I only recall a few instances, where something was installed, without my input, at some level. Back about PS CS, there were some NIK Filters that were installed, and a few of them were "trials," which I am not keen on. SmartSound would be another example, except that I would want it, regardless (and probably only complain, if it was missing).
One of the biggest rubs that I had with Pinnacle Studio was that even if one bought their biggest, most expensive package, a ton of Effects and Transitions were loaded as trials. To get all of those, one had to spend about US $400, above the price of the NLE. Not sure if that is still the case, as I switched to AVID Liquid, about they time they bought Pinnacle, and have not seen Pinnacle Studio in many years. When I moved from Liquid, to PrPro, and the CS2 Production Studio, I never looked back at AVID/Pinnacle. Now, CS2 Production Studio came with about 8 programs, and then a ton of "Goodies." I would have loved to have the Goodies as options in the full suite installation. As it was, I had to do the main, muli-program install, and then run installation routines for maybe 30 other plug-ins, add-ons and stand-alones.
No, like you, I refuse to update my iTunes, as so much "other stuff" gets installed, and then I have to clean it out. You are not alone, except that we see SmartSound from different sides. Though I understand your not wanting anything, but the program, I view that as a necessity.
My suggestion to Adobe would be to include that as a separate, user-selectable install, though I have never heard of anyone complaining, unless SmartSound did not work for them.
I understand personal principles, and try to adhere to my own, but before you pass on SmartSound, I beg you to try it out. That will not ameliorate the need for Adobe to let the user decide what is/is not installed, but with a few sessions, you might change your mind about the program, itself.
Do let Adobe know how you feel, and perhaps SmartSound will become an additional installation, like the additional Functional Content.
Good luck,
Hunt

Issues with Form printing using a 3rd party software!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

Hi All,
We are printing our month end AR statements using Xerox DP100 printers. We are using a SAP Script as the layout form. Everything works perfectly alright when a direct print is issued to the printer. But the scenario here is the statements are sent to a 3rd party software so that the statements can be saved in their repository and made available to be viewed and printed whenever necessary. Now the issue is when this 3rd Party Software(TPS) reads the SAP generated PCL from its report store on the unix host and generates a PDF File that it presents to the web client user for (re)printing via his/her PC it appears that the TPS or Websphere or Adobe is performing a font substituion - replacing the Univers font(used in R/3) which is not loaded on the unix host with a different font(with different sizing and/or behavior).
As a result the horizontal and vertical positioning generated by SAP(which is correct for the Univers font) is 'wrong' for the substituted font. The fixed size fields print OK but gradually move to the right. The varying size amount columns do not align correctly and fall off the right side of the page.
Can anyone give me pointers on what can be done to arrest this error.
Does the font need to be loaded on the unix host or the font used in the form be changed?
Regards,
Karthik

Karthik,
Sap script behaves differently for different printers. You will have to change margins when you change your printer/software accordingly.

How to AUTO print DMS with Shop Paper without 3rd party software?

Since standard SAP cannot AUTOMATICALLY print DMS with shop paper.
Is there a way to AUTOMATICALLY print DMS with shop paper without using 3rd party software ? I've heard that there's a user exit or Function Modules that we can use so this will be possible. We don't really want to deal with 3rd party software if we can avoid it.
Has anyone resolved this problem without using 3rd party software?
Thank you,
Sam

It would easier to get an ABAPER to debug the manual process and then use those function modules etc in the modified program.
The ability to print attached documents exists as a manual process of navigate and click, the process is as follows:
1.     Access transaction IW32 (or IW33).
2.     Enter order number (initial screen).
3.     Click enter (change order central header screen).
4.     Select the operations tab page (change order operation overview screen).
5.     Select the relevant operation (change order operation overview screen).
6.     Click the PRT icon (change order operation overview screen).
7.     Select the PRT (PRT list of operation screen).
8.     Click the PRT display button (PRT list of operation screen).
9.     Click the print button (display document screen).
The process prerequisites are:
     Work order created with assigned PRT document.
     PRT documents.
     DMS configuration to allow document to be opened and printed.

3rd Party Software in Support Section

I have been a frequent user of the 3rd party software offering of Apple's support section on their homepage but since the end of March there have been no further updates.
Does anyone know the reason? Has Apple closed down the publishing of 3rd party software via their own web presence?
Thanks in advance,
Christian

Thank you - the link leads to the right website but the software you'll find there has not been updated anymore after March 26th. Until then there have been releases of new software or software updates on a daily basis.

Firewire iSight not working with 3rd party software on Leopard

I just installed OSX Leopard and not able to use firewire isight on any program other than ichat. I use 3rd party software for video conferencing (educational setting) and need an external iSight so as to position the camera on larger groups. Anyone have any suggestions?

My external iSight is working fine with QuickTime Pro, iMovie, Photo Booth (v2).
If http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93240 does not get things working, and especially if your problem is only with your 3rd party app, contact the developer to see if there are known issues with Leopard.

After power down and a cold restart, I automatically restart in my Administrator Account. Running 10.8.4 with one Administrator account, one user account and one guest account. Recently downloaded and installed 3rd party software (Panorama).

After power down and a cold restart, I automatically restart in my Administrator Account. Running 10.8.4 with one Administrator account, one user account and one guest account. Recently downloaded and installed 3rd party software (Panorama). Installation required that I create a super user named Other with root privileges. I did so and successfully installed the 3rd party software. I powered down a few days late and when I restarted, I went automatically to my Administrator account with no login password required. I deleted the Other account, powered down and restarted with the same result - opened in Administrator. I then followed the steps to disable root user, powered down, cold restart - same result, opened in Administrator account.
Any suggestions? Any thoughts? Much appreciate any help you might offer.

Trouble getting java install wizard to work with 3rd party software

Hi,
I just installed Java 2 SDK version 1.4.2 under Solaris 8. The installation appears to be fine. I changed
the links and PATH to make sure I'm pointing to the correct version. I am trying to install a 3rd party software called Powerchute Network Shutdown by APC, to be able to shut down our servers remotely, that are attached to our APC UPS. I get these error messages from the software:
starting the wizard
Exception in main calss "JExpressLoader"
java wizard not started properly
unable to start the install wizard
Tech support at APC has been unable to help me. I am wondering if someone can tell me how to verify my java wizard is installed correctly. (I don't even know what a java wizard is by the way, so hopefully
this question makes some sense to someone).
Thanks.

You need Xwindow System in your sun.

Backup and synching with a Windows Server, what 3rd party software do I need.

I have a Macbook Air. We just got a new Server, a Dell PowerEdge T420 running Windows Small Business Server 2011 CAL Suite.
I am told my Macbook Air will not Snych to backup files from a defined folder (like My Documents) and e-mail in Outlook. Mac's can't do that.
I don't believe that is true. Can anyone give me direction. Is there some 3rd party software that allows Mac to do this?

Hello Charlene,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
There are several ways you can pull the music off your iPod and onto iTunes. The first link below provides step-by-step instructions for the direct method if you have a PC as well as a few third party applications (for both the Mac and PC) if you choose to go that route instead. You can also do a simple Google search for "copy music from iPod to computer" and you should receive a number of sites that can help you out.
Just make sure that when you have your iPod plugged into your computer, that you don't hit "Erase and Sync" before completing the task of copying your music over.
Also, if you have any purchased music, you will probably have to re-authorize your computer by heading to the Store drop down menu and choosing "Authorize computer."

3rd party software to correctly sort iTunes?

I am sick of sending in an enhancement request almost every new itunes release to ask if there can be more flexibility and user choice in how to sort things in iTunes. What I mean is that "An Ocean Between Us" should go under "A" not "O" like Apple forces it to be. I would also like numbers to come first like it does in the rest of the world and like it did in the past in iTunes 7.something. So I'm reaching out now to ask if there is a 3rd party software that works with iTunes that can fix this purposefully instituted problem. I could go through evey single song/artist/album and do it manually but since I have a ton of songs that would take months and I'd surely miss a lot. I understand that Apple likes to try to reinvent the wheel everytime but reinventing the wheel with a hexagonal shape is idiotic and doesn't work like people want it to. I don't know of anyone who actually likes the sorting in iTunes, except for skipping over "The" at the beginning of titles. So is there a 3rd party program that works with iTunes that can do what I want, or am I stuck with this idiotic sorting for now?
Thanks!

Using stock apple apps, instead 3rd party software

I was wondering what would be the best option for cleaning application cache, memory and doing regular computer maintenance, without installing 3rd party software, or if there is any?
can CleanMyMac or DiskDoctor functions substituted with apple stock apps ?
thanks

How to maintain a Mac
1. Make redundant backups, keeping at least one off site at all times. One backup is not enough. Don’t back up your backups; all should be made directly from the original data. Don’t rely completely on any single backup method, such as Time Machine. If you get an indication that a backup has failed, don't ignore it.
2. Keep your software up to date. In the App Store or Software Update preference pane (depending on the OS version), you can configure automatic notifications of updates to OS X and other Mac App Store products. Some third-party applications from other sources have a similar feature, if you don’t mind letting them phone home. Otherwise you have to check yourself on a regular basis.
Keeping up to date is especially important for complex software that modifies the operating system, such as device drivers. Before installing any Apple update, you must check that all such modifications that you use are compatible. Incompatibility with third-party software is by far the most common cause of trouble with system updates.
3. Don't install crapware, such as “themes,” "haxies," “add-ons,” “toolbars,” “enhancers," “optimizers,” “accelerators,” "boosters," “extenders,” “cleaners,” "doctors," "tune-ups," “defragmenters,” “firewalls,” "barriers," “guardians,” “defenders,” “protectors,” most “plugins,” commercial "virus scanners,” "disk tools," or "utilities." With very few exceptions, such stuff is useless or worse than useless. Above all, avoid any software that purports to change the look and feel of the user interface.
It's not much of an exaggeration to say that the whole "utility" software industry for the Mac is a fraud on consumers. The most extreme examples are the "CleanMyMac" and “MacKeeper” scams, but there are many others.
As a rule, the only software you should install is that which directly enables you to do the things you use a computer for, and doesn't change the way other software works.
Safari extensions, and perhaps the equivalent for other web browsers, are a partial exception to the above rule. Most are safe, and they're easy to get rid of if they don't work. Some may cause the browser to crash or otherwise malfunction. Some are malicious. Use with caution, and install only well-known extensions from relatively trustworthy sources, such as the Safari Extensions Gallery.
Never install any third-party software unless you know how to uninstall it. Otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve. Do not rely on "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software.
4. Don't install bad, conflicting, or unnecessary fonts. Whenever you install new fonts, use the validation feature of the built-in Font Book application to make sure the fonts aren't defective and don't conflict with each other or with others that you already have. See the built-in help and this support article for instructions. Deactivate or remove fonts that you don't really need to speed up application launching.
5. Avoid malware. Malware is malicious software that circulates on the Internet. This kind of attack on OS X was once so rare that it was hardly a concern, but malware is now increasingly common, and increasingly dangerous.
There is some built-in protection against downloading malware, but you can’t rely on it — the attackers are always at least one day ahead of the defense. You can’t rely on third-party protection either. What you can rely on is common-sense awareness — not paranoia, which only makes you more vulnerable.
Never install software from an untrustworthy or unknown source. If in doubt, do some research. Any website that prompts you to install a “codec” or “plugin” that comes from the same site, or an unknown site, is untrustworthy. Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must come directly from the developer's website. No intermediary is acceptable, and don’t trust links unless you know how to parse them. Any file that is automatically downloaded from the web, without your having requested it, should go straight into the Trash. A web page that tells you that your computer has a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with it, is a scam.
In OS X 10.7.5 or later, downloaded applications and Installer packages that have not been digitally signed by a developer registered with Apple are blocked from loading by default. The block can be overridden, but think carefully before you do so.
Because of recurring security issues in Java, it’s best to disable it in your web browsers, if it’s installed. Few websites have Java content nowadays, so you won’t be missing much. This action is mandatory if you’re running any version of OS X older than 10.6.8 with the latest Java update. Note: Java has nothing to do with JavaScript, despite the similar names. Don't install Java unless you're sure you need it. Most people don't.
6. Don't fill up your boot volume. A common mistake is adding more and more large files to your home folder until you start to get warnings that you're out of space, which may be followed in short order by a boot failure. This is more prone to happen on the newer Macs that come with an internal SSD instead of the traditional hard drive. The drive can be very nearly full before you become aware of the problem.
While it's not true that you should or must keep any particular percentage of space free, you should monitor your storage use and make sure you're not in immediate danger of using it up. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of free space on the startup volume for normal operation.
If storage space is running low, use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the most space. Move seldom-used large files to secondary storage.
7. Relax, don’t do it. Besides the above, no routine maintenance is necessary or beneficial for the vast majority of users; specifically not “cleaning caches,” “zapping the PRAM,” "resetting the SMC," “rebuilding the directory,” "defragmenting the drive," “running periodic scripts,” “dumping logs,” "deleting temp files," “scanning for viruses,” "purging memory," "checking for bad blocks," "testing the hardware," or “repairing permissions.” Such measures are either completely pointless or are useful only for solving problems, not for prevention.
To use a Mac effectively, you have to free yourself from the Windows mindset that every computer needs regular downtime maintenance such as "defragging" and "registry cleaning." Those concepts do not apply to the Mac platform. A computing device should not be a focus of your attention. It should be an almost invisible tool by means of which you communicate, work, and play. If you want a machine that is always whining for your attention like a neurotic dog, use a PC.
The very height of futility is running an expensive third-party application called “Disk Warrior” when nothing is wrong, or even when something is wrong and you have backups, which you must have. Disk Warrior is a data-salvage tool, not a maintenance tool, and you will never need it if your backups are adequate. Don’t waste money on it or anything like it.

Automator - Loop through a text file and process data through a 3rd party software

Just stumbled on Automator the other day (I am a mac n00b) and would like to automate the processing of a text file, line-by-line, using a third party tool. I would like Automator to loop through the text file one line at a time, copy the string and keep as a variable. Next, place the variable data (copied string) into the text field of the 3rd party software for processing. Once the processing is complete, I would like Automator to fetch the next line/string for processing. I see items like "copy from clipboard" and "variables" within the menu but I am not finding much documentation on how to utilizle this tool. Just hear how potentially powerful it is.
The 3rd party software is not a brand name, just something made for me to process text. I may have to use mouse clicks or tabs + [return] to navigate with Automator. A term I heard on Bn Walldie's itunes video series was "scriptable software" for which I don't think this 3rd party app would be.
Kind regards,
jw

Good news and bad news...
The good news is that it should be entirely possible to automate your workflow.
The bad news is that it will be a nightmare to implement via Automator, if it's even possible.
Automator is, essentially a pretty interface on top of AppleScript/Apple Events, and with the pretty interface comes a certain stranglehold on features. Knowing how to boil rice might make you a cook, but understanding flavor profiles and ingredient combinations can make you a chef, and it's the same with AppleScript and Automator. Automator's good at getting you from points A to B but if there are any bumps in the road (e.g. the application you're using isn't scriptable) then it falls apart.
What I'm getting at is that your requirements are pretty simple to implement in AppleScript because you can get 'under the hood' and do exactly what you want, as opposed to Automator's restricted interface.
The tricky part is that if no one else can see this app it's going to be hard to tell you what to do.
I can give you the basics on reading a file and iterating through the lines of text in it, and I can show you how to 'type' text in any given application, but it may be up to you to put the pieces together.
Here's one way of reading a file and working through each line of text:
-- ask the user for a file:
set theFile to (choose file)
-- read the file contents:
set theFileContents to (read file theFile)
-- break out the lines/paragraphs of text:
set theLines to paragraphs of theFileContents
-- now iterate through those lines, one by one:
repeat with eachLine in theLines
-- code to perform for eachLine goes here
end repeat
Once you have a line of text (eachLine in the above example) you can 'type' that into another application via something like:
tell application "AppName" to activate
tell application "System Events"
tell process "AppName"
keystroke eachLine
end tell
end tell
Here the AppleScript is activating the application and using System Events to emulate typing the contents of the eachLine variable into the process. Put this inside your repeat loop and you're almost there.
