Use Windows version to test website compatibility?

Is it reasonable to use Safari for Windows (3.1) to test that my website is "compatible with Safari"?
Are there known differences between the Mac and PC versions other than the fonts?
Thanks a lot for your insights

And you may be doing what I do: Developing on a Macintosh computer running OS X. I do have an emulator for Linux, but not for Windows, so I cannot run IE—except I can.
Here's how I do it.
Use Virtual Box. You can set up installations of Windows to run the Three Big Browsers that you need to test on, like I have:
I can run any of the three virtual machines and test whe I am doing in a Microsoft browser. I no longer support Internet Exploiter 6. My clients are  not interested in China.

  • Where should be the file of database if i use windows version of oracle

    hello

    Oracle implements it's databases with multiple data files, not just one. And that's in addition to all of the various files that make up the software, apart from any databases.
    You definately do not want to put the database files under ORACLE_HOME. If you have any choice at all, I wouldn't even want them on the same partition. A default installation and db creation may try to put them there simply because that is the one directory structure oracle can count on being there. But that is one default that is far from best practice.
    The minimum partition configuration I'd want for a Windows server hosting an Oracle database is ....
    c:\ - operating system only
    d:\ - Oracle home, admin, and one set of all duplexed files (control, redo)
    e:\ - all other database files
    For the 'sandbox' setup on my personal laptop, where I only have a c: drive, I still break it out ...
    c:\oracle\app\product\10.2.0 <-- Oracle Home
    c:\ora1\mysid\ <--- some data files
    c:\ora2\mysid\ <--- some data files
    c:\ora3\mysid\ <--- some data files
    Take a look at this: http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/A97297_01/appg_ofa.htm
    It is out of the 9i docs, and is directed to unix, but if you will read and understand the principles it is a good guide even for Windows. You can also google "optimal flexible architecture" and get lot's of other docs.
    I dare say that at this point It would be a good investment in your career to go to tahiti.oracle.com. Drill down to your product and version. There you will find the complete doc library.
    You should spend a few minutes just getting familiar with what kind of documentation is available there by simply browsing the titles under the "Books" tab.
    Open the Reference Manual and spend a few minutes looking through the table of contents to get familiar with what kind of information is available there. Learning where to look things up in the documentation is time well spent on your career.
    Read the 2-Day DBA manual cover to cover.
    Notice the 'search' function at that site.
    Then set yourself a plan to dig deeper.
    - Read a chapter a day from the Concepts Manual.
    - Look in your alert log and find all the non-default initialization parms listed at instance startup. Then read up on each one of them in the Reference Manual. Take a look at your listener.ora, tnsnames.ora, and sqlnet.ora files, then look up what you see there in the network administrators manual.

  • Can I use ASUS VM60-G072R Desktop (like mini Mac) with my iMac all in one computer? I need to use Windows version of QB and I don't want to buy a PC tower or laptop.

    I need to use the Windows version of Quickbooks Pro and I don't want to use Parallel or buy a PC tower or laptop. Can I use ASUS VM60-G072R Desktop (like Apple Mini) with my iMac all-in-one computer?

    Thank you Kappy. I guess I have to decide to purchase a separate monitor and keyboard for this mini PC computer then. And also find extra space in my office. I'm happy you answered my question so quickly.

  • Flash player has been installed multiple time without errors but bbc news website and even flash player help say it isn't. How do i get out of this loop? - using windows 7 ultimate and latest IE11

    flash player has been installed multiple time without errors but bbc news website and even flash player help say it isn't. How do i get out of this loop? - using windows 7 ultimate and latest IE11

    I have had the same problem for WEEKS and I cannot access any sites that use Flash. Flash has been installed on this computer since I bought it in 2012. I have allowed auto updates but for weeks the updates never get past Step 2 - is this because I do NOT want the Google Tool bar? I use NO tool bars as there is only 6 inches of vertical screen space. Is this because I uncheck wanting Chrome as a default browser?  It is already installed, I just don't use it.  I came to this site and ran the check is it installed and the system says it is either not installed or not enabled. Version 14 just downloaded about 30 minutes ago - but did not progress to Step 3 although a pop up screen came up with a finish button, which I clicked. WHAT is the problem and how do I fix it?  If this were just a compatibility bug between IE11 and Adobe they have had plenty of time to fix it.

  • Websites using Windows Media Player

    I've bought my new Macbook and am now noticing that I can't do many things I used to do. For example, I can't watch the videos on CNN.COM because the site (and many others I frequent) use windows media. Is there an option for us Intel Mac people to use for viewing these websites? Thanks.

    Right now, no, there is no solution. Microsoft recently stopped distributing their own Windows Media Player program for Mac OS X and bought a company that created software that allows Apple's own QuickTime Player to play Windows Media files. This software has worked very well for PowerPC users. They're working on an Intel-specific version, but it's not quite ready yet. You can find out some more here:

  • Test QA Software within All Windows Versions

    Hello support team !
    Testing software within the many versions of windows can take up time  , just installing and setting up windows with all updates and options as well . I am looking for a simple method to install windows such as unattended installation and
    get and install all updates , without using a deployment servers , If I can do this then I can travel or  test in the field.
     I have completed these steps listed below :
     (1) Created a image using windows ADK and a Anwser File.
     (2) When I run the installation on a test PC using the product CD and the Anwser file located on a USB stick , it does work and the SysPrep tool is displayed with the normal options.
     At this point I would like to update windows using the Anwser file I created or a script if I can ?.
    I read documentation on package manager , but it appears the ".MSI" , ."CAB" files must be on a distribution share.
    I don't know if "wsu.exe " can do this or not .
    If you have any answers for me or a test script to use it would be great .
    Also to install or update packages like Office ,Java, Flash do I need to download the package files to a share drive and use package manager to install or update these products ?.
    I hope you understand my request  ,  If you have any example scripts or Anwser files I can test it would be helpful
    Thanks !

  • Tools to test websites on older versions of safari / hardware

    Sorry if this appears elsewhere but did look to see if there was an answer and couldn't find one. We are having problems with our transactional website with older versions of Safari (OSX Tiger Safari version Safari  Version 4. 1. 3.  (4533.19.4 ) and leopard safari version Safari Version 5.0.6) on Pwer mac and Intel macs. Do you know if there are any enulation tools about so we can test these because we don't have the hardware / software to do it.

    Yes, we have a website which I want to support all flavours of OSX and Safari. We don't havea problem with later versions, but going back to Lion on Intel and power mac, users are experiencing problems. We cannot replicate the problems because we don't have the hardware or software versions to replicate, so was wondering if there were any tools out there that we could simulate those versions for testing / debugging.
    We could, as etresoft said, check the agent and advise that we don't support the version, but as a mac user myself, I have it when websites don't support Mac browsers, plus we have a large Mac using user base.

  • I have switched from PC to Mac how do i use my windows version  of adobe photoshop CS3 on my MAC?

    i have switched from PC to Mac how do i use my windows version  of adobe photoshop CS3 on my MAC?

    rebel1568,
    All Photoshop versions through CS6 came with platform-specific licenses, either Windows or PC.  You could get a cross-grade of platform swap at a nominal cost but not for older versions, only for whatever Photoshop versions was current at the time.
    CS3 is totally out of the upgrade or cross-grade loop.  You'd have to buy a new license for CS6 Mac or subscribe to Photoshop CC, as Trevor points out.
    Curt Y is correct in that CS2 will not run on current Mac-Intel machines.  You would need a used Mac G5 or G4 with a PowerPC (IBM) CPU, which have been obsolete since mid 2006.
    Of course, you could run your Windows  on your Mac if you installed and ran BootCamp or Parallells.

    I am using Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OS.I've never had this problem before... today I opened iTunes and it prompted me to download the newest version.  I use iTunes all the time and have updated it multiple times with no issues.  During the installation process it gave me an error message that said: 
    Runtime error! 
    Program C:\Program Files\iTunes.exe
    R0634
    An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.
    Please contact the application's support team for more information.
    I quit the installation, uninstalled iTunes and rebooted my computer.  I now receive a similar message with a slight difference:
    Runtime error! 
    Program C:\Program Files (x86)...
    R0634
    An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.
    Please contact the application's support team for more information.
    I did not leave anything out from the error message.  It doesn't point to a specific file, it just ends with "(x86)..."  Every time I boot up my computer, this error message pops up on my desktop.
    How do I repair this issue?  I have found multiple suggested solutions but am unsure which one is the best, and I don't want to try a bunch of different things for fear I may make the problem worse.  I would like to try and fix this myself if possible but I need to know if that is really possible or if I need to take my computer to someone for repairs.  Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!!

    Hi lustyln,
    I'm having a little trouble understanding all of what you are trying to explain. From what I can tell, it sounds like your PC has a lot of software problems and you want to know what is supposed to be there and what isn't.
    For reference, here are your product specifications:

    To get your PC software back to how it was when it was first purchased, run a system recovery:
