If the OS is not installed on another CPU, then you can install it on any single Mac with which it is compatible.
The software license is indeed on paper, and you can visit the Apple website to find online copies of their license agreements.
In case you aren't aware the Apple Discussions are provided by Apple. Any discussion of illegal uses of software or hardware would violate the Terms of Use for the Discussions. Furthermore, were we to advise you to ignore Apple's license agreements then we would be guilty of abetting illegal acts. I presume you can understand why no one here will answer your query about violating the license. Any continued discussion of same will likely result in your topic being removed.

After upgrading to Firefox 8 for mac osx I am unable to close a browser window using command w, or command shift w?

Hi there,
After upgrading to Firefox 8 for mac osx I am unable to close a browser window using command w, or command shift w?
Is there any way I can correct this as it is very annoying?

It only happens for me on pages where I've allowed some Flash element to play (I have Flashblocker) such as a YouTube video.

Troubles using Flash on Mac OSX

Operating System: Mac OSx 10.5.8
Web Browser: Firefox 16.0.2
Flash Player Version: 10.3.183.90
It seems to me I have the latest available flash player version for my operating system but I am still unable to view certain videos or strems.
When I attempt to watch a video I receive the following message "You need Adobe Flash Player to watch this video. Download it from Adobe."
I have uninstalled my flash player using the uninstall program for the version I have, then reinstalled the flash player. The installation goes fine but I still receive this message when trying to watch a video.
On this site here: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html It tells me I do not have the latest version of flash player but none of the later versions are supported for my operating system.
Am I missing something here?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Does this mean that I am unable to use flash player in my browser untill I upgrade my operating system?
Yes and no...
If it's a Core™Duo, you're stuck with 10.5.8, because it's a 32 bit processor.
If it's a Core2™Duo, then you can upgrade to Snow Leopard for just $19.99 through Apple.
Either way, 10.3.183.90 is the end of the line for Leopard.
10.5.8, being a "universal binary" OS, has to have compatiblity for PowerPC Macs, and that limits how far it can go with anything. Office 2004 is the newest version that will run on Leopard, and it CAN'T create .doxc, .xlsx. or .pptx documents that 2008 and 2011 use.
Safari can't go higher than 5, Firefox is limited to 16. There's just a lot that 10.5 can't and won't handle.

Can't upgrade because I am running MAC OSX 10.4.11 on a MacMini. Am I still secure?

I am getting alerts that my version of Firefox will not be supported much longer but I can't find an upgrade that works on my Mac Mini running MAC OSX 10.4.11. Shall I use a different browser?

As of Firefox 4.0 and newer one needs both OSX 10.5+ and '''Intel''' hardware. You have PPC. http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/9.0/system-requirements/
Two options since you have PPC: either continue to use Firefox 3.6 (3.6.25 is current, released yesterday) which you have. http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
Or you can use a third-party build from http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/ in order to have Firefox 9.0 though do note http://code.google.com/p/tenfourfox/wiki/PluginsNoLongerSupported

Insufficient disk space using server103linux32 on Mac OSX

I am trying to install Oracle Workshop for Weblogic 10.3 on Mac OSX using the Linux version of the application. After extracting and executing "java -jar installer.jar", the GUI installer opens and appears to run fine, but after the last dialog, I get the following error:
Insufficient disk space! The installer requires:
617MB for the BEA Home at /Users/cburleson/bea,
548MB for the product at /Users/cburleson/bea/tools/eclipse_pkgs/2.0...
867MB temporary work space at /Users/cburleson/Downloads/server103linux32
There is only 868MB available at /.
"df" command in my terminal shows that I have only used 60% capacity on my volume. I clearly have more than 868MB available. Does anybody know what the deal is or how to get around this?

jlarechiga, it does not work on my snow leopard system.
tried to install using : Erwin Morales' Blog
http://blogs.oracle.com/emorales/2009/06/weblogic_over_mac_os_x.html
server103_generic.jar gives the similar error stating only 1MB free (even when you run : sudo java to start installer)

HT4759 How can I use iCloud with MAC OSX Ver 10.6.8?

Mobile Me has been discontinued and my under 3 yr old MAC does not have the system requirements to support iCLOUD. Trying to find an iphone with an app that will work on a MAC OSX Ver 10.6.8.
Thanks

You're welcome. In order to connect to your iCloud account on your Mac it has to be running OS X Lion (10.7.2) or higher. You would need to upgrade to either Lion or Mountain Lion in order to set up iCloud if your system meets the system requirements.
Lion system requirements are:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
Mountain Lion system requirements are shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5444.
If you can run Mountain Lion, you can purchase an upgrade from the Mac App Store. If you can only run Lion, contact the online store in your country and purchase a download code to download it from the Mac App Store.
After upgrading, you will find iCloud in System Preferences>iCloud on your Mac, and can set it up as explained here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html.
Before upgrading, you may want to check the compatibility of your existing programs by checking here: http://roaringapps.com/apps:table.

Safari doesn't upgrade from 5.1, even though I use fully updated Mac OSX version 10.6.8

How do I get Safari to upgrade beyond version 5.1.10? I have fully updated software, and my OS is OS X, 10.6.8.
My old Safari version is no longer being supported by some websites. Searching the internet, I saw that I should re-install the OS X. I did that, and didn't work. Please help.

You need to upgrade the OS past 10.6.8 to get a newer Safari version. Open the Mac App Store and try downloading Mavericks. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
Back up your data before upgrading. Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.

I installed 5 but now I can't use it with Mac osx - how do I go back to my old version?!

I was prompted to install Firefox 5 on my Mac. Now when I try to open it says I can't use Firefox with osx. How do I go back to using the previous version - has it been written over? My previous version was fine!

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com

Using Terminal in Mac OSX to program and test java

I bought a book on java and it says I should not use a JDK like Net Beans when first learning java.
Right or wrong I would like to know how to use terminal to program and compile simple scripts.
So my question is:
How do you go about setting up the computer to use terminal to write and compile a java program? I know my Mac sees java in terminal because tells me Im running "version 1.5.0_07"
I just need a link to some info on how to get started using Terminal for my command line with java.
I think if I could get a path set up from the command line to my text file and have javac see it I would be in pretty good shape. At least for now.
If I use a text saved plain text file (.java) how do I set up a path to it using javac from the command line?
Where can I find or link to this kind of info?

Hi,
seems like you have not tried out a few things.
1. Set up the JAVA_HOME environment variable. (I assume you pretty much know it) the folder where java is installed.
2. set up the environment variable to point to the bin folder inside the java installation folder.
3. open up a console (it seems from your post you know it.), type java -version see the java version.
4. type in javac, press enter: you should get the javac options.
5. type in java, you should see the java options.
Write your programs in a text editor, save it as somename.java.
open a console, change to the directory containing the java file.
type: javac somename.java <PRESS ENTER>
you should get the compilation errors if any.
if not
type in: java somename.java
Hope this helps.
Regards,
AyusmanStep 1 and 2 are generally not needed. Mac OS X comes with Java configured up and running right out of the box.

Cannot save or download anyfiles since upgrading to Firefox 5 for Mac OSx

I cannot download any type of file since upgrading to firefox 5 -- .doc, .pdf, .dmg (just a few examples) -- All I get is a three .part files. These files never join and cannot be manually joined. I have tried every tip at the following URL and it did not fix the problem.
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Unable%20to%20download%20or%20save%20files

Firefox 3.6.4, 3.6.6 and now 3.6.7 have the same problem: Save Page or Link not working after clean installation of the above versions or even with Firefox in Safe Mode: Firefox Not Responding. Last version working normally is 3.6.3.
Is Mozilla checking this Forum? Should we drop using Firefox?

Because a usb device was drawing too much power, I can't use my mouse. mac osx 10.7.5

Is this a new way to make me give apple my credit card number and yet more personal info to fix?
I can't navigate this site worth a crap without my mouse....

How old is this mouse?
Is it possible that your mouse is dying and maybe drawing more power than it did originally?
Does this happen with either of the 2 USB ports on your Macbook Pro?
Have you tried another USB mouse, maybe borrowing one from a friend to experiment with?
There are many people that use USB mice with Macbook Pros.
It also possible to use a Bluetooth mouse.
Or a wireless mouse that has its own transmitter that plugs into one of the USB ports.
I'm not even going to ask why the Macbook Pro trackpad is unacceptable? I will mention that if you are comparing the trackpad against a multi-button mouse, then I would suggest looking at BetterTouchTool that will allso you to add a ton of additional functionality to any trackpad.

Make a temporary, backup copy of your library if you don't already have a backup of the library (Control-click on the library and select Duplicate from the contextual menu) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
