Universal Apps - How do you know?

Is there any clever way to see if an application is universal or not? For example, I would assume Mail is universal, but how can I know for sure?

Under System Profiler --> Applications, you can list every app on your HD and check its architecture (expand window for full column list). This way you can get a quick summary of what's Universal and what's not.
Incidentally, it looks like developers actually had plenty of warning that OS X would end up on Intel...
(Scroll to section 'Epilogue' - OS X DP2 review from 1999).

  • How do you know if your Iphone app is connecting to the internet?

    I'm a brand new Iphone user and I have a question about apps.  I only have the smallest data plan.  I'm wondering how do you know if your app (or any app you download) once opened connects to the internet?
    For instance I have a Netflix subscription.  When I hit the Netflix app is that connecting to the internet?  When I watch a movie or tv in my own que is that still on the internet?
    Or what about the Kindle app or iBooks?  Is it on the internet to read?
    Those are just two small examples.  I'm having a hard time figuring out which apps to download based on if they connect to the internet for their use.

    As a general rule, if the app stores all of its data locally on your phone, a data connection is not needed for that app to function properly. If the app does not store data locally on your phone...streaming apps(Netflix), the built in Maps app, etc., a data connection will be required for the app to function properly. You can minimize your cellular data usage by only using such apps when connected to available WiFi. You also have the ability to turn cellular data completely off in settings: Settings>General>Network>Cellular Data>Off. Best to completely read an apps description before installing such on your phone. If a data connection is required for the app to function, it will state such in the app's description.

  • How do you know if the Maverick download is happening?

    I am now trying to download Maverick .. & have been hearing a whirring sound. But it starts then stops?
    - BUT I can't tell if it's done. I've kept the "page" on the screen, and the "download" button shows grey & it shows "Downloading"
    - BUT I don't see any circles, to show anything is happening.
    - NOR can I see anything on download in Finder. I've been checking the apple icon to see & it still shows Lion, 10.7.5 that I got in 2012. I have 4GB.
    So, How do you know if the Maverick download is happening - & when it's done?
    Last, do you have to restart the computer? I haven't been able to find a "how to" about this download.
    Thanks

    With App Store open, purchases or updates pane (can't recall which), CMD+R to reload the page, and you should see a progress bar. Should look like this:

  • How do you know what generation your iPod touch is?

    I have just bought an iPod Touch - my first iPod of any type.  How do you know what generation it is? There is nothing on the packaging and the only clue in the 'About' screen appeared to be the version 4.3.3.  I am trying to purchase a universal dock adapter and need to know the generation in order to get the right one.

    Why do apple refer to the products by generation and then not actually include that information on the product?
    beats me.
    you can inform Apple of your displeasure by leaving a comment via iPod Touch Feedback.

  • How do you know if the iPhone...

    How do you know if the iPhone that I bought new in fact it is a refurbished product?
    Since I upgraded to the latest version of IOS, is worse. The wi-fi does not work anymore, 3G network makes it even more hard to get, some apps that should work, close or take a long time to load, even the screen to make phone calls has long recharge times. Do you have suggestions? Thank you!
    E' possibile sapere se l'iPhone che hai acquistato per nuovo in realtà è un prodotto ricondizionato?
    Da quando l'ho aggiornato all'ultima versione di IOS, è peggiorato. Il wi-fi non funziona più, la rete 3G fà ancora più fatica a ricevere, alcune app che dovrebbero funzionare, si chiudono o ci mettono molto tempo per caricarsi, perfino la schermata per telefonare ha tempi di ricarica lunghi. Avete suggerimenti? Grazie!

    Hi, thank you for having responded to me so quickly. Excuse me instead for the delay with which you answer.
    I tried "lifetime" or a similar word in my preferences panel but I could not find. I have the software in Italian.
    I attach screens. You see something that might look like the "lifetime"? Thank you very much!

    Yes, there are even defaults for naming them, such as LivingRoom, Bedroom, etc, or you can even enter your own name with the remote for each AppleTV.

  • I can´t download skype to my new macbook pro, I can´t find it in the App Store, do you know why?

    I can´t download skype to my new macbook pro, I can´t find it in the App Store, do you know why?

    There are a number of developers who have chosen for various reasons not to offer their software through the Mac App Store, so don't assume that if an application is not in the App Store that the application is not available. It may well be available directly from the developer or some other download site. MacUpdate is a good resource for looking for applications:

  • How do you know a hard drive is bad?

    how do you know a hard drive is bad?

    From the OS X "Help" system:
    Check whether a disk is about to fail
    You can check the health of many disks in Disk Utility. Many disks include Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology (S.M.A.R.T) hardware, which lets a disk test itself for potential problems.
    Open Disk Utility.
    Select the disk in the list at the left.
    If you see a message saying the disk has a fatal hardware error, the disk has an irreparable hardware problem that can’t be fixed by Disk Utility or any other utility that repairs software problems. Back up as much of the data on the disk as possible, and then replace the disk.
    If you don’t see a message saying the disk has a hardware error but you still have problems with the disk, you can try to repair it with Disk Utility.

  • How do you know what view is available to a form?

    A customer requirement that we set the a firstlogin attribute on the on one of the resources the first time a user logs into the IDM end user interface, changes their password, and provides answers for their authentication questions. The way I know that a person has done this, it that they are displayed the "End User Menu"
    The problem is the accounts portion of the User view is not accessible from the End User Menu. I put the same code in the End User Form and it works.
    Is there a way for me to access resource attributes from this form?
    Is this the incorrect approach to solving this problem?
    How do you know what view is available to a form?

    Thanks, that was my problem originally. When using a fieldref I had to set the base context to variables.user i.e.
    baseContext=':variables.user'
    And in workflow I had to preface variable names with the name of the object I checked the view out into.
    What I really wanted to know how to have multiple views open in a form if possible. I'd like to be able to manipulate user and role objects in the same form when editing users in a specific org.

  • How do you know what version Mac OSX is on ANOTHER drive?

    How do you know what version Mac OSX is on ANOTHER drive without starting that drive
    and seeing the system profiler? In fact, because the drive wont start up, Now I am wondering if it is pre-intel. ? CMD-I doesn't do it. Thanks

    Why mess with this? Well, I got the HDDs and the enclosure from my previous PPC, so I'd like to make use of it all without $pending again.
    I don't see any problems with using the card and drives on your new Mac. Hardware is too pricey to just leave behind if you can't help it. With the new drivers I suspect you'll be able to use your drives, I just don't think you'll be able to boot from them if the interface card requires drivers. They should still be very fast storage devices, and probably reliable due to the ongoing support the vendor has provided.
    I went through the same type of issue when I bought my Dual G4 1.42 Tower (upgraded from a Quadra 840AV ). Several of my devices were SCSI (I was into SCSI Wide/Fast drive arrays at the time for video capture), and I was able to use an Adaptec card for scanning for several years with Jaguar and Panther. I'd spent quite a bit of cash to ensure high quality and performance and didn't want to loose all of the investment. Eventually the SATA hard drives and other USB and Firewire replacements became so cheap and performance improved enough that loosing SCSI with Tiger was not a big deal. I do think I should get about 5 years of hardware compatibility with most products and I keep older Mac's around for dedicated services as long as they aren't a costly maintenance issue.

  • How do you know when your MacBook is infected?

    Hey All. Well my question is how do you know when your MacBook is infected with a virus? I came off windows and i have norton antivirus so i have something to tell me there. But on the Mac OS you rarely get viruses and i dont have a anitvirus program, so how do you know when you have one? And what does it do?
    Thanks!

    Since no ones got one that I know of it is hard to say. I figure that when the day comes that someone writes a Mac virus you will know real quick what happens. If your concerned you could use ClamXav. I use it if I download something for my wife's PC but have never found anything yet.
