What's up with OS X version of 9iR2?

Has anybody heard any news lately about the OS X version of 9iR2? The developer release has been out for a while, but no updates. Will there ever be a full release of 9iR2 for OS X? When I pressed my company's Oracle sales rep for info on it, he didn't even know there was an OS X release available. Is anybody else loosing confidence in Oracle when it comes to OS X?

Recent pres release June

ORACLE ANNOUNCES HIGH DEMAND FOR ORACLE DATABASE ON MAC OS X
REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., Jun. 23, 2003 - ( http://www.oracle.com/tellmemore/?1820172 )  As a result of demand for Oracle's Database Developer Release on Apple's Mac OS X, Oracle Corp. (NASDAQ:ORCL), the world's largest enterprise software company, today announced new plans to issue a production release of its next generation database technology on Mac OS X.
This announcement will allows mid-market companies using Mac OS X to take advantage of Oracle9i's enterprise capabilities, including availability, high reliability, and scalability at the lowest total cost of ownership.
In the first half of 2003 alone, more than 5,000 copies of Oracle9i Database Developer Release for Mac OS X were downloaded from the Oracle Technology Network (OTN). The software download is free-of-charge to all registered OTN members. With the upcoming production release, not only will customers be able to deploy enterprise class applications that leverage Oracle's leading database technology, but can do so economically by adding additional Xserve servers, utilizing Oracle's database clustering technology as computing power demands increase.
"Oracle is working closely with Apple to bring enterprise-class reliability and scalability to Apple's customer base," said Mark Milani, vice president of Platform Technologies Division, Oracle Corp. "Oracle's database clustering technology on Mac OS will allow for dramatically lower entry cost and enable customers to take advantage of the 'pay-as-you-grow' model."
"The incredible number of downloads that Oracle9i Database Developer Release for Mac OS X has received is a great indicator of the enthusiasm that both developers and customers have for the Mac in the enterprise," said Ron Okamoto, Apple's vice president of Worldwide Developer Relations. "We're looking forward to our customers being able to run Oracle's next database on Mac OS X Server with Xserve, Apple's powerful rack-optimized server."

  • In version 3.6 I can not open a website link from original page, I keep getting a new window that is blank and asking me to put in a web address. What has changed with the new version?

    When on a page if I click on a web link I get a new window that is blank and asks me enter a web address. This started happening with the new 3.6 version. It seems to have something to do with what I choose for the location in my privacy settings as the window changes with each setting but I still cannot get to the new site. Any ideas? I have no problem with this in IE and I have to keep opening IE when I encounter the problem on Firefox which is annoying.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • What's up with the Preview Version?

    When you click on the application "Preview" the version info says 4.0
    When you open Preview and then click on about Preview, it says version 4.1
    All of my computers are running 10.5.2 and are totally up to date.
    Anyone else notice this about the Preview version?

    Better IMO is to file bug reports or enhancement requests via Apple's Bug Reporter system. Join the Apple Developer Connection (ADC)—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. If you already have an Apple username/ID, use that. Once a member, go toApple BugReporter and file your bug report/enhancement request. You'll get a get a Bug ID number; thus, starting a dialog directly with engineering.

  • What's wrong with the new version of Itunes....HELP!

    I tried to install the ipod software for my new Nano - I got to the point of regeristring my ipod - and then the program bombed. I then tried to update Itunes - the installation vould not be completed...Message: The installation was interupted before completeing - the system was not modified and try back later. The main issue is that now I have no access to Itunes. The installation or lack there of removed the old version. I have read all of the help topics - I am at a totally loss. And, I can't get to my library....
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    umm my music is synced depending on how i want it.. so right now I have it set up by artist, and alphabetically.
    sort your library the way you want it, then sync.

  • What is new with 6.0.4 (3) ? Anyone know?

    What is new with this new version of iTunes 6.0.4 (3) - does anyone know?

    The End, one thing that is new (perhaps unintentionally) is that 6.04 appears to fix the repair permissions bug that 6.02 and 6.03 suffered from.

  • Problem opening album-art as could be done with previous iTunes versions

    Issue Description:
    In previous versions of iTunes you had an icon of the album-art bottom left of screen when you were playing the song. If you clicked the album-art icon it would open into its own window and you could stretch it as large as either the image dimensions allowed or as large as your monitor allowed.
    I always use custom album art.
    With iTunes 11, I cannot find any way of achieving the same thing. All we get at best is a 2 cm large album-art icon at best which if you click it starts the album from the beginning.
    Question: Surely there is a way to achieve what was achievable with earlier iTunes versions with an ability to open and stretch the album-art so you can view it up large? If so how is it done now?
    As it is, a 2cm icon of album-art is totally pointless and removes all interest in album-art. I prefer looking at album-art than the visualizer things which don't interest me. I'm probably from the old-school of vinyl records where album art was actually something to look forward to and some artists put a lot of effort into their album designs. I also put a lot of effort into custom album-art designs for personal use.
    I cannot seem to find similar questions/answers on this comminity board.

    Thanks for your replies. I forgot to mention about the mini-player which I had tried. But the artwork is still very limited in size. But at least a little bigger than the icon lol. I have the old 30 inch Mac monitor, so having artwork I can spread across the screen can be great. (Especially when it's my own artwork lol)
    I totally agree with those views in the link you gave. Too many to repeat except that iTunes has become very cluttered. I first used iTunes in OS 9 or was it OS 8 I can't remember. I don't think it appeared until OS 9. And some files I ripped and backed up as audio files back then are unrecognisable on OSX.
    VLC is a third the size but can play almost anything under the sun. XLD is only 19 MB but can "rip ('properly' without ignoring errors like iTunes does) and convert" at audiophile quality for numerous audio formats and includes LAME for mp3. Vox, great miniature app (5 MB) to play most audiio file types but lacks a proper library system  for ease of browsing what you may wish to play at any moment in time. Find me an OSX audio app with a decent library system & I will probably change. ATunes a java audio app does not give me any sound lol. It has a messy library system anyway. But its ability to play FLAC and import the iTunes library was appealing.
    The ol' downgrade iTunes version trick. Yeah tried that a couple of times over the years. Should have learnt the first time. Not sure iTunes' designers change the library formatting on purpose in an attempt to prevent downgrading.
    I will follow your advice about the Feedback. Thanks again.

    Repair your Apple software update.
    Go to START > ALL PROGRAMS > Apple Software Update. If it offers you a newer version of Apple Software Update, do it but Deselect any other software offered at the same time. Once done, try another iTunes install
    If you don't find ASU, go to Control Panel:
    START > CONTROL PANEL/ > Add n Remove Programs, highlight ASU and click CHANGE then REPAIR

  • In Pages 09 we can do Mail Merge and Import Styles from a document. Can someone please explain how we can do this with the new version of Pages 5.1. Even Apple solutions are only valid for Pages Version 09. What a DOWN GRADE!

    …and the other 98 missing features.
    Just use Pages '09, which should be in your Applications/iWork folder.
