Windows 9iForm running on MAC system

Hi,
Is it possibly? I have a form written in 9i running on 9iAS. This form uses webutil and was written and deployed on Microsoft systems. In the form, I write a script file and bat file to the client's temp and then execute the client host (webutil).
I am assuming because of the difference in OS that something has to be configured especially since I am writing to the temp directory. Is there any papers out there that I can read or anyone know of a link to put me in the right direction with this?
Thanks,
Mary

Mary,
MAC has the number 5 in the list of valid OS identifiers. Please read the web_util documentation. For Java it is not a big deal to get the platform specific file separators from the client System.

  • Windows User Switching to Mac – System Install/Setup Help

    Hi All,
    I’m a (very) long time windows user switching to Mac. I know nothing about Mac’s as in zero zip (I’ve been messing with an iMac for 2 weeks.) Buying a MacBook Pro (spec’s at bottom). I do creative work audio/video/graphics and use a lot of nonstandard peripherals e.g. audio interfaces, RAID, drawing tablets etc. Getting a new system setup is a long and laborious process.
    When I get a new computer here’s my normal process:
    Step 1
    I reinstall windows to get rid of the junk software that’s always added by third parties.
    Update all hardware drivers & software (OS and Auxiliary app’s)
    Tweak Windows OS for my needs
    Make full system backup
    Step 2
    Install all my major app’s e.g. adobe creative suite, audio programs etc.
    Install non-standard peripherals such as audio interfaces, RAIDs etc.
    Make full system backup
    Step 3
    Open up all major app’s and customize e.g. set preferences etc.
    Set-up and test app specific peripherals, tweak as necessary
    Make full system backup
    Step 4
    Install virus software and unimportant apps/hardware. No backup.
    Is this basically what I should do with the mac? What kind of issues might I expect? Are there steps or issues I’m worrying about that don’t apply to the Mac? Finally, is there an equivalent to the windows Blue Screen of Death? Does the system every get so jammed up that a complete wipe out and re-install of OS and software is required?
    I know these are very open questions so I’m only looking for general information.
    Thanks
    Here’s the machine I’m going to buy:
    15” MacBook Pro (Late 2013) | 2.3GHz i7 Quad | 512GB PCIe-Based SSD | 16GB Ram - GeForce GT 750M (2GB)

    Just to clarify the Mac includes anti-virus software and updates with no additional software purchase required?
    Yes. Unlike Windows OS X was designed from its inception to be a secure multiuser operating system incorporating many protections specifically intended to isolate one user's space from another. Each succeeding release has only added more protections, and Apple updates its virus / malware database regularly.
    Third party "anti-virus" products abound, but none of them improve upon anything OS X already includes. Most of them are simply worthless junk. Some will only cause problems, while others are arguably malicious. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
    Apple is the most famously secretive company since E-Systems, yet the vast majority of Mac related problems reported on this site are the direct result of using ill-conceived products from third party developers claiming unique knowledge of OS X's inner workings. The companies selling them are desperate to assert their continued relevance in a market that is seeing rapid contraction of Windows PCs in favor of iPads - and to a lesser extent, Macs - that have never had the need for their products. Many AV vendors have been reduced to sordid scare tactics as they see their market and revenue stream diminish. Unfortunately, scare tactics work, resulting in widespread misery among Mac users gullible enough to swallow them. That represents a threat all to itself.
    If it were not for Windows' predilection for malicious alteration from viruses and malware we wouldn't be having this discussion.
    Even though I’m doing some heavy lifting e.g. video editing, audio recording (full band), large folders of music files/video clips/animations etc. no system/drive maintenance is required by me or if it is the software to do so is already included?
    Correct. As a professional you may not be satisfied with the bundled apps such as iMovie but Apple has professional video and audio recording apps as well. Even they are not very expensive. You can find out more about them in the Professional Applications forum.
    A Mac needs no third party maintenance utilities. Like "anti-virus" products most of them are worthless also.
    Time Capsule: I thought that was Apples hardware for backup, remote access, streaming etc.
    Yes. The Time Capsule is Apple's combination wireless router and backup device. You can just as easily use any inexpensive hard disk to use in conjunction with Time Machine.
    Time Machine is Apple's backup software and it's included with OS X. You can use either one, or both. You can also use inexpensive commercial "clone" software such as Carbon Copy Cloner. Each one has its advantages, as well as their limitations. In the interest of redundancy I use all of them.
    B&H Photo is a highly reputable vendor, one of the few I recommend.

  • How can I run 2 Mac Systems on an iMac using VMWare Fusion

    Hello,
    - I'm using an iMac, system 10.10.2.
    - I bought VMWare Fusion 7.1.1.
    I would like to use VMWare on my iMac (Yosemite) and run another Mac OS (10.7.5) in parallel by using VMWare. I have no idea how to do this, I don't even know if it's even possible.
    The operating systeme 10.7.5 is installed on another Mac of mine (a Mac Book Air). I made a carbon copy of the whole operating system.
    My aim is to be able to jump from my iMac (running OS 10.10.2 with VMWare Fusion installed) to a virtual Mac OS 10.7.5 (the carbon copy of my MacBookAir)
    Can anyone help?
    Thank you very much.

    Some searching at the VMware Fusion site should provide you with an answer.

    What videos? What are you using to try to play them?
    Also, this forum is for Apple support. Since your problem is Windows related, you are not likely to get much help here.

  • Help with Windows Domain Login on Mac

    Hello Everyone,
    We have two Mac Pros at my work running Mac OS 10.5.8 and they are attached to the Windows Server / Domain so when the Mac is turned on you login with your Domain credentials (using Win Server to Authenticate). Now all of this has been working fine since the computers were purchased a year ago, until two days ago that is. I turned on the Mac Pro in the morning and tried to login, and the Mac would freeze and do nothing. I restarted and tried again, using the same credentials I always use, but nothing worked. I called the IT guys and had my windows user account reset thinking that the password was expired, still didn't help, so I asked them to reset the whole account, still didn't help.
    At this point I asked a few of my co-workers to login on my Mac using their login info, and they had no problems at all. I decided to dig deeper into this problem and logging in under a "local" Mac account I went into the "Accounts" preferences to check what was going on, to my surprise my Domain account was visible (normally it wasn't unless you were logged in) and under the account it said "sharing only".
    I am still trying to figure out why my Domain account was changed from "Admin, Managed" to "Sharing Only"? So I decided that the easy fix here was to use a previously made (and tested) image file which I created when the Mac Pro was first setup and all the software was installed. So after cloning the image to the Mac HD I turned on the Mac and tried to login, again nothing happened. I can login using the local account, and my co-workers can login fine, but my domain login just refuses to work. I have also tired to login on other Macs in the department and I can login just fine on each one, the only Mac that doesn't let me login is my machine.
    I have run out of ideas, short of re-installing the entire system from scratch.. which I really don't want to do unless I have to. But if anyone out there has any ideas I would more than welcome them.
    Thanks in advance..

    It's probably related to some type of DRM (copy-protection) on the digital copy, and not due to it being any particular type of file format. The DRM scheme probably only works under Windows. And if that is the case, I don't think you will be able to get it to work under Mac OS X, short of running VMware Fusions or Parallels Desktop (or Sun's free VirtualBox) and installing Windows to run under Mac OS X.
    Considering the popularity of Macs recently, and higher use of Macs among creative folks, it's pretty stupid for the studio/distributor to make a key feature Windows-only.

  • Creative Cloud Desktop download utility running on Mac 10.8 fails to show apps/install apps

    After purchasing subscription, downloading and installing the Creative Cloud Desktop Version (2.0.0.183) utility, I am unable to install a single app. When on the 'App' screen a spinning circle appears. I have tried reinstalling the Creative Cloud Desktop Utility many times, spoken with chat member who suggested deleting a database file in the OOBE folder, then restarting computer—none of these have worked. I have been struggling with this for over 5 hours, trawling forums with little success. I also have older versions of Adobe software (ie CS4. CS5, CS5.5 and CS6 which I do not want to delete).
    I am running a Mac system 10.8, have 50 Gb drive space available and 32 Gb of ram.
    Welcome any help as I purchased software subscription I cannot use.
    Thanks

    KlippyKlein it sounds like you have archived the Opm.db file located in /Users/<UserName>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE is this correct?
    If so can you also try renaming the Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE to OOBE_Old.  Once this is done please reinstall the Creative Cloud application from https://creative.adobe.com/.

  • Replacing windows desktop with a mac

    I currently have a macbook pro, 2009, and a windows desktop.  I'd like to replace the desktop with a mac, but will need to run windows on it for Quicken.  So, what would be the most economical alternative? A mac mini? I also have Fujitsu scanner for mac which the new computer must support.  I would consider a new or used mac.  Also, is Bootcamp the best way to plan on doing mac and Windows?
    Thanks!

    The Fujitsu ScanSnap works great on the Mac and is accessible through its own software, VueScan, or EverNote among many other software packages. As far as using Windows and Quicken, Bootcamp is an either/or proposition and not both at the same time. On the other hand Parallels Desktop will run Windows and Windows applications on the OS X desktop and happliy transfer data from one environment to the other. In eithercase you will need to purchase and install a copy of Windows and while Windows is running your Mac will be as vulnerable to Windows malware as any Windows computer so you will also need a good security suite that would otherwise be unnecessary. A Mac mini or an iMac would be a more thqan adequate desktop computer. If you are buying an new monitor for the Mac Mini the final price will be pretty close to that of an iMac. If you are planning on using the monitor from your PC then the Mac mini will save you anywhere up to $1,000 or more. I switched from an iMac to a Mac mini when I got tired of essentially buying a new monitor every time I upgraded my computer and I am very please with the performancek of my mini. The Fusion drive helps -- a LOT.

  • Move a big file from a mac system to a windows 8 laptop usb usb flash drive

    Hello i am using a 32 gb flash drive to copy a 10gb file from mac os x to my flash drive. Then i want to insert that flash drive to my windows 8 pc and store it there.
    I cant use a network connection to transfer files because i dont have a ethernet cable or an network connection yet. So i must use a smart procedure for making my mac communicate with my pc at home. I cant use any other types of sharing methods except for a usb flash drive. So i know that the mac cannot detect NTFS filesystems and i cant use FAT32 even though mac recognizes it because FAT 32 is unable to store large files abotu 10GB of size. Now i have to use i think ext3 or ext4 or also HFS but when i successfully copy the file from mac to flash drive then insert it into my pc, the windows 8 OS will not detect the windows pc because i dont think windows is made to detect these filesystems by default.
    So i have tried using, HFS explorer and ext2/ext3/ext4 volume manager and ext2exploer or GPARTED live cd's latest version's copy and paste functions but they seem to not work propely and there is a problem, i cannot  see any flash drive in HFS explorer even though my drive is formatted as hfs.
    So i need a program that can detect HFS or ext3/4 formatted flash drives and is able to copy a file from there straight to my windows 8 NTFS hard drive or a folder in it.
    I have checked my firewall settings and defense settings. I am the administrator of my pc and i have even removed the windows password and the mac one but still i get lots of issus JUST to copy a file between a pc and a mac. Remmember that i have to copy files FROM a mac system running snow leopard to my windows 8 pc not the OTHER WAY were i have to copy from the windows to a mac.
    Please tell me as much as possable about software out there and tell me software that costs money. I am able to buy any good software for doing this.
    Thanks in advance.

    Take the flash drive to the PC and format it as exFAT.

  • I have two computers - iMac and PC.  What is the EARLIEST version of Acrobat I can run on each system.  I am running 10.9.2 on iMac and Windows 8 on PC.  Thanks.

    I have two computers - iMac and PC.  What is the EARLIEST version of Acrobat I can run on each system.  I am running 10.9.2 on iMac and Windows 8 on PC.  Thanks.

    Adobe currently supports Acrobat X and Acrobat XI for Mac and Windows platforms. More details about base system requirements can be found here: Tech specs | Adobe Acrobat XI Pro and the changes to these requirements with the product updates can be found here : Overview — Acrobat and Adobe Reader Release Notes. So the earliest version would be Acrobat X and the Latest would be Acrobat XI.
    Please let us know if that answers your query.

  • Is it possible to run two Mac operating systems at one time?

    I am running snow leopard on my MacBook but have an older version of Photoshop that can only be run on tiger. Tiger is already installed on an external hard drive so I could just boot up into that bit would like to save some time. Is there software that allows simultaneous running of  mac OS like parallels desktop does for windows on Mac?

    It would seem reasonable that you might be able to do it.. use Disk Utility to create a new partition for the other MacOS and install it to that partition. You will treat each partition as a separate disk, and select the boot disk thru System Preferences. But this approach treats them as separate OS installations requiring separate boots and cannot be run simultaneously.
    I opened Parallels 6 on my machine and noticed Parallels will allow you to create a Virtual Machine with another OS and not just Windows.  I think you'll have to install MacOS from scratch though using the install MacOS DVD. I  haven't tried this approach but it seems like it might be succesful. Not sure what happens when Parallels "translates" between MacOSs though. 
    I don't think you can use Carbon Copy Cloner to install a MacOS to a Parallels Virtual Machine though.

    Bastaría con que indicases el sistema operativo en cda uno de esas computadoras para saber si son compatibles:
    Microsoft Windows 7 with Service Pack 1, Windows 8, or Windows 8.1 (ID CC 2014 y ID CC)
    Mac OS X v10.7, v10.8, or v10.9 (10.6.8 para la CC anterior)
    Si utilizan un sistema operativo anterior, you are "out of luck".

  • Run Windows XP Pro WITHOUT Mac OS on MacBook?

    Can I run only Windows XP Pro on a MacBook (without using the Apple operating system)? I'm a longtime PC user thinking of replacing an old Dell laptop with a MacBook. I love the Mac hardware and my 60G iPod and Apple's genius bar service. Could/should I uninstall the Mac OS on a new MacBook, or is it needed to operate the hardware properly? My apologies to Mac lovers for this sacrilege, but I don't know the Mac system and prefer not to learn a new system right now, not to mention some beloved Windows software I want to keep.
    I've read about Bootcamp and Parallels and would prefer not to get involved with that if possible. Other possible PC laptops I could buy aren't so feature-rich and lightweight and they cost more than the MacBook.
    Thank you for any advice.

    It should work, but I have not done it. I am considering the same thing so that I can run XP64, but I am not sure yet if XP64 drivers exist for MacBook Pro.
    The drivers certainly exist for XP, which boot camp utilizes. Also, the limited memory on a laptop may not make XP64 worth the trouble.
    The BootCamp solution for XP is actually very nice on my desktop, and the installation of XP under Bootcamp is very smooth. Think of Bootcamp as your dual boot loader for this specific piece of hardware, and sacrifice a small portion of the hard drive to OSX for diagnostics and updates. Also, Apple may well come out with another variant on Bootcamp that you may want to try, an advanced virtualization to run XP or Vista, which is the next problem that you may confront on Jan. 30.
    I run Windows XP64 on my desktop MacPro (3rd drive) which manages large amounts of memory well for high end engineering software. Unfortunately, the third hard drive is not an option on a laptop. Bootcamp does not exactly support XP64, but it works very well nonetheless.
    If I go with XP on a laptop, then I will certainly keep an OSX system partion on the internal drive, and would highly recommend the same, just in case.
    One can always run OSX from an external hard drive that is Firewire. I keep one (ive for loading new firmware and Apple diagnostic programs. Then just set the computer to boot to XP everytime. Alternatively, one can hold down the option key to choose which system to boot from upon startup: OSX, XP, or OSX on an external firewire hard drive. I do not think that Windows will boot from an external firewire hard drive, but I would look around.
    I would love to see a Mac Book expansion station that supported eSATA. Does anyone know of one? That would make many things possible with regards to booting non-Apple operating systems.

  • CS3 for Windows on Mac System

    I´ve bougth CS3 for windows and I have been using it.
    I´m thinking about to get a MAC... can I use my dvds to install????

    You can install Boot Camp, Fusion or Parallels and install Windows under
    either of those three systems. Then you can install CS3 for Windows.
    With Parallels and Fusion, you can run Windows CS3 and have your Mac OS
    running in tandem. You can copy and paste between the Mac and PC sides.
    In fact Windows CS3 will run better on the Mac than running the Mac
    version of CS3 under Leopard. There are far fewer problems. The speed is
    very good while running under Parallels or Fusion. The speed under Boot
    Camp is as good as running it under any comparable PC.

  • How will running windows XP affect my Mac?

    I am very new to Mac's. When I bought it two weeks ago I learned about bootcamp and how you could run both Windows and OSX, I thought this would be great because I would like to be able to play a favorite game of mine on here. However, when using Windows I have had nothing but viruses. If I used bootcamp to run Windows XP, would I be just as likely to get viruses and crap on my Mac as I would be on any other computer? And if I did get a virus or something, would it be contained to the XP part of the hard drive, or would my whole computer get hit?

    Hi DJ Timbo,
    running Windows on a Mac is like running Windows on any other computer.
    So, after what you have experienced would you run Windows without an Anti-Virus software ?
    While the Mac and Mac OSX are immune to Windows viruses due to the different nature of the operating system, it can nonetheless be the source of Windows viruses infiltrating your Windows partition on your Mac, when you use an infected USB pendrive (or a CD/DVD or the internet).
    Regards
