Working Java IDE for Intel-based Mac?

Apparently Rosetta has big problems with the Java virtual machine, so my beloved Borland JBuilder crashes on startup (on my iMac Core Duo), despite working beautifully on my PowerBook.
Looking for a replacement, I found this apple website:
http://developer.apple.com/tools/eclipse.html
which enthusiastically endorses an IDE called "Eclipse" for Java development on the Mac. So I downloaded it, but it too crashes on startup. Is Apple planning to fix these fairly severe Rosetta problems? Otherwise, are there any reasonable Java IDE's out there that Intel-based macs are capable of running?
(Wolfram -- the company that makes Mathematica -- has also noticed problems with Rosetta's handling of the Java VM: http://support.wolfram.com/mathematica/systems/macintosh/osx/macintelrosetta.htm l )

Hello Mike,
yes you are right.
The Bug #98889, deals with the Eclipse on Intel-Mac problem, since June, 8th 2005 and it works great.
I took the https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/attachment.cgi?id=33023 attachement (SWT 3219) and placed
- eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.swt.carbon.macosx.ppc_3.2.0.jar
instead of
- eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.swt.carbon.macosx.ppc_3.1.1.jar
That was all I have to do.
After the installation, you got an eclipse which runs at an incredible speed I never saw before - even on Windows-native machines at work!
Remark: There will also be an org.eclipse.swt.carbon.macosx.ppc_3.2.0 directory extracted which you should put into the plugins - directory.
I use a stable 3.1 version with this patch and everything works fine.

I need the Adobe Flash Player version 11.1.102.64plug in on my MacAir to view Ustream videos. Adobe message says the version is for Intel-based Macs with Safari; also says that I "may have to temporarily disable antivirus software. is it safe to download?

Your MacBook Air is an Intel-based system. To download the current version (11.2.202.228), go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ and download it from there.
If there is still a Flash issue, you can try the Google Chrome browser, which has the current Flash built into it, to see if it works any differently with the videos. It's available from https://www.google.com/chrome

External hard-drive only for Intel-based macs?

I have an iMac G5 powerpc (without the camera). Today I bought a Western Digital: My Passport- Essential 250GB external portable hard-drive. I will be using this to back-up my iMac's hard-drive. Before I opened the packaging, I decided to see if Apple.com sold this product in their online store. They do, but one of the 'one-star' reviews posted on this product stated that "it will only work with Intel-based macs." I can't seem to find any more information about whether or not this statement is correct. I was hoping somebody could help me out and let me know the answer. If it doesn't work with the powerpc imacs, do you know of a brand or model that does? I plan on leaving it in the packaging until I know for sure just in case I need to return it to the store. Any help is much appreciated! Thanks!

You can order them online from [macsales.com] and have them sent to your college. You can look in Staples or go online and see if they carry LaCie - the OWC ones are only sold on macsales, as far as I know.

Virtual PC not compitable for intel-based Mac?

I saw that on the Mactopia website. I just bought a new Macbook with 1GB Ram and 80 GB Harddrive. I think that it is intel based and I am planning to purchase a copy of Virtual PC 7 but then i went to Mactopia and read: "Note: Virtual PC does not run on Intel-based Macs." on this page of Mactopia
http://www.microsoft.com/mac/products/virtualpc/virtualpc.aspx?pid=virtualpc
is this true? if it is then of course i won't go through the hassel of buying and returning. Please give me an answer, Thanks!

Bootcamp is a program here on the Apple site that they made to allow you to install windows on your intel mac. It adds a windows partition to your drive and helps you burn a windows driver CD that has to be installed after windows is installed. To install windows xp you must have a windows XP disk with SP2 on it. It does not take long and does not hurt your apple install. Just do a search on this site and it will take you to the page you need.

Microsoft Office or Apple iWork? For Intel based Macs.

Im starting medical school and need some kind of word processing program. More importantly i need to be able to view and preferably edit pdf files and word docs.
I know iwork lets you view and save as pdf and doc but how easy is this to do?
Does it allow you to see the file as is or does it change it a little when it imports it?
This will mainly be used for viewing lecture presentations as well as notes that my fellow students make. As well as making docs to send to other students.
If iwork does this well i would rather go with that as i've heard that office 2004 is slow due to rosetta and such.

I'll tell you what I use and why, if that helps you in making a decision, but ultimately, you have to decide for yourself based on your needs and preferences.
In my work, I receive Word and PDF files from clients. After I finish with these files, they must be compatible with whatever version my clients use. For Word, iWork will convert back and forth, and for basic documents, it will be just fine. For complex documents that must track changes and show comments, it won't work as well---in fact if you track changes in Word, they won't show in iWork (Pages), and Pages has no function to track changes. Pages is more a desktop publishing program than a word processor. I work with a lot of medical research articles, and they are almost all in Word or LaTeX.
Word runs slower under Rosetta compared to what it would run like as a Universal Binary, not necessarily that it runs slower overall. The only place it does run slow is the startup, after that it runs comparable (slightly slower, but not much) to Word on my Windows 3.6 GHz desktop. Your installed memory will have a significant impact on performance, and with 1 to 2 GB of memory, Word runs just fine.
PDF files: For OS X, there are very few alternatives to Adobe, and none perform very well for editing of PDF files. PDFPen Pro is one popular program, but it won't edit all PDF documents, and adding comments is hit and miss---when someone else opens that file in Adobe, not all comments and changes show up, sometimes none show up, sometimes they all show up. For someone else's critical files, that is not acceptable. On Mac OS X, Preview will open PDF and let you comment files, but that comment you add becomes a permanent text box for someone opening that file in Adobe---not good for critical files.
If you are just going to be reading PDf and Word files, you don't need those programs. But, if you have to manipulate documents and files, and several people are doing the same with the same files, you'd be better off getting Word and Adobe Acrobat (with the educational prices, they are quite inexpensive).

Playing WM formats on an Intel based Mac...also... Azureus/dimeadozen usage

Hello, I am a newbie to the Mac. I am convinced that this is the way to go; but I am having some learning problems, so I hope someone out there can help. Specifically, I cannot get all the Window Media Files to open in Quicktime. I realize that flip4mac.com has not yet configured a plug-in for Intel based Mac's but what about Popwire v. 9? Window's is up to v. 11. Is it too early to expect an update? Is Popwire up to date? Over all, how do you feeln about Popwire? On another tangent...I cannot get Azureus 2.4.0.2. (universal) to mesh with the bit torrent provided by dimeadozen.org. Any comments or suggestions will be most appreciated. Thank you...

Search the forums for the universal F4M component - I posted it here. It's a beta, but works just fine on local and web-based files. Windows is no longer supported for Apple, so WMV9/OSX is the last you'll get - v.11 is Windows, not Mac. Popwire has no browser support, so it takes a backseat to the UB F4M beta.
Configuring the AZ client isn't hard, check the ports your sites uses...
And since you are on a Mac, not a PC, post your question in the correct forum.

Third party application for Intel-based iMac

Greetings y'all...anybody out there know of a list of third party apps for Intel-based Macs???

Try Apple's Made4Mac area for universal applications which are built for Intel and Power PC:

Although I must admit Versiontracker is very good too.

You can't open Dictation & Speech preferences because it doesn't work on an Intel-based Mac.

I cannot open or use Dictation & Speech in System Preferences. When I try to open it I get the error:
"You can’t open Dictation & Speech preferences because it doesn’t work on an Intel-based Mac."
I have tried repairing the disk from the installation CD and repairing the permissions and I have also tried re-installing Mountain Lion but the feature still does not work. Any ideas?

Open Finder, press Option key and select Go > Library. Open Preferences and delete com.apple.systempreferences.plist. If you can't open, do a backup, format and install

Is it possible to install an app intended for PPC on an intel-based mac?

I have a "Websters" disk that works on Windows and PPC-based Macs.
I was wondering if I could install it on my Intel-based Mac? Is it possible?

Good to know

Preference panes - cannot open because it doesn't work on an intel-based mac.

Just updated to Mavericks and was checking out "System Preferences". Of the 37 items I have here 19 will not open. The error messages I get are alternately:
"Could not load <....> preference pane"
"You can’t open <....> preferences because it doesn’t work on an Intel-based Mac."
(<....> = name of preference pane)
Clicking on a pane will give one message, then, once "OK" has been clicked, clicking again on the same pane will give the second. There does not seem to be any correlation between when a particular message will occur, but it is always the same panes with the issue.
Ths was initially a upgrade install over the latest Mtn Lion, but I've just completed a repair and restore on the os with a fresh download, with no change.
I am running a mid-2009 macbook pro.
If anyone knows what is going on here and could suggest a solution ...!

I had the same issue after restoring a cloned drive with Mavericks.
Repairing permissions didn't help.
Show invisible files and go to /Applications - you will see a bunch of corrupt application starting with .0
For example i had
.0Messages
.0System Preferences
.0Time machine
The wrong System Preferences was getting launched when calling it from the menu - the corrupt one.
I deleted them and all is good.
Also if this doesn't work, select Applications/System preferences and call Get Info from the File menu and make sure 32 bit mode is not activated.

MultiMix Settings preferences don't work on an Intel Based Mac

I've downloaded the latest drivers from Alesis for my Alesis Firewire 12 Audio Mixer (supposedly for Snow Leopard) but get the message MultiMix Settings preferences don't work on an Intel Based Mac- any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Any answers on this? I have the same issue and was wondering since the MultiMix is Firewire 400, it does't like the Firewire 800 converter I'm using....

Is there a partition scheme for both powerpc and intel-based macs?

I need to partition a drive to back up using time machine from two different Macs: one is powerpc and one is intel but disk utility seems to only allow you to choose on or the other.
this is the disk utility option:
Select a new partition scheme:
* Use Apple Partition Map partition scheme if the disk will be used with Time Machine and a PowerPC-based Mac.
* Use GUID partition scheme if the disk will be used with Time Machine and a Intel-based Mac.

unfortunately i am alternating them between computers.
is there a way to make it work or is the only solution to get two different drives and format them accordingly?
TM will most likely work fine with both computers if you partition the drive GUID. that's been the experience of most people who do it. but apple does recommend partitioning the TM drive GUID for backing up intel macs and APM for PPC ones.
using GUID is unlikely to create problems but it may.
but if you want safety on this you'll need two separate drives.

You can't open Mail, Contacts & Calendars preferences because it doesn't work on an Intel-based Mac.

I updated my Mac to Mavericks and after that, I can't open the Mail, Contacts and Calendar preferences.
Every time I try, I get the following message:
"You can’t open Mail, Contacts & Calendars preferences because it doesn’t work on an Intel-based Mac."
I tried this workaround from the Mountain Lion thread (https://discussions.apple.com/message/21303574#21303574) but it didn't worked.
Further I deleted all files in the Library Preferences folder, but it didn't helped also.
Can anyone help me please?

Hi Michael,
I had the same problem. And I found a fix.
I noticed that on a different system running Mavericks without any problems, the preference pane isn't called 'Mail, Contacts & Calendars' anymore, it's now called 'Internet accounts'. The fact that it's still called by the old name on your system, means it somehow wasn't replaced while updating to Mavericks.
So the cure is pretty easy:
On a different Mavericks system, go to /System/Library/PreferencePanes/ and copy the file InternetAccounts.prefPane. Take it to the system you're trying to fix, and paste the prefPane file in the same directory. Reboot, and it should all work fine. At least it did in my case.
Cheers

Hi, I need a video editing software for my Power Mac G5 system. Hunted all over for one! Can anyone help me and point me in the right direction. Everything I come across is for intel based systems. Many thanks in advance.

I have Final Cut Studio V1 - the PPC/Intel V5/5.1 cross-grade version, which would suit your requirements perfectly. (I have it for sale at present down here).
If you keep looking, you're sure to find a similar second hand copy in your area, without the need to upgrade your graphics card.
I'd go for Final Cut Pro as above over any version of Express. FCP has the full version of LiveType - not the truncated version that was released later on.

Internet Sharing for PPC and Intel based Macs

I have OSX 10.4 Server running with NAT and DHCP enabled. The internet is accessed through a wired connection, and 2 Powerbooks(PPC based) and an Intel iMac and MacBook connected to the server via Airport. The wireless signal is WEP protected, and the Intel based Macs can connect to the wireless network, recieve a good IP address and access the internet. These two connected computers can be seen on the Server Admin DHCP Clients tab.
My problem is with the PPC based Mac, the 2 PowerBooks. Those computers can connect to the wirless network, but they get an invalid IP address. Not only is the IP invalid, so is the Subnet Mask.
All computers are running 10.4.7, and all installed from the Combo Updater.
Any suggestions?

We're having the same problem here!
Rarely we manage to get the right IP address assigned to one PPC machine by playing with various network settings but we didn't found a reliable way to get the PPC machines always working.
This is really strange... any suggestion is appreciated.
