Delphi on OS X

 Here's the WineSkin version.

 I found it's way smoother than WineBottler version, ...., but hard to figure how to use it

 To install Delphi in OS X using WineSkin, we have to download and install Wineskin, of course, :)

  • Open Wineskin Winery.app
  • Make sure you have a Wrapper version and an Engine
  • Select the Engine you want to use (I use WS9Wine1.7.52)
  • Press the Create Wrapper button
  • Enter in the name Delphi (or whatever you have in mind) for the wrapper and press OK
  • When its done being created, click the button to view it in Finder in the finished window
  • Close Wineskin Winery.app.
  • Right click Delphi.app in Finder and select “Show Package Contents”
  • Double click and run Wineskin.app.
  • Now click on the Install Software button
  • Select to choose a setup executable
  • Navigate to the Delphi setup exe file you downloaded in step one
  • Select the setup exe file and press the choose button
  • At this point Delphi setup should begin, go through the Delphi setup like a normal install
  • After the setup is done, back in Wineskin.app, it should pop up asking you to select the .exe file
  • Choose the delphi32.exe file in the drop down list and press the Select Button
  • Now press the Quit button to exit Wineskin.app
  • Back in Finder, double click Delphi.app and start coding

 It has the same problem with WineBottler,  the toolbar tab's seem order by itself alphabetically, so the default toolbar tab is not ' standard ' tab but 'additional' one

code
unit Unit1;

interface

uses
Windows, Messages, SysUtils, Variants, Classes, Graphics, Controls, Forms,
Dialogs, StdCtrls;

type
TForm1 = class(TForm)
Button1: TButton;
procedure Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
procedure FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
private
{ Private declarations }
public
{ Public declarations }
end;

var
Form1: TForm1;
jalan:boolean=false;

implementation

{$R *.dfm}

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
jalan := not jalan;
if jalan = true then button1.Caption:='Stop'
else button1.Caption:='Run';

end;

procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
button1.Caption:='Run';
end;

end.
.









Delphi on OS X

 I use WineBottler to install Delphi 7 on my El Capitan.

 It's installed, it can run.

 The one that tickle me is the toolbar list is scrambled, it's sorted alphabetically, so additional toolbar is in the first and act as default toolbar.

iOS and OS X's Note

Want to edit Pages document 'on the fly' but don't have a Pages on iPhone? It's OK.

Copy the content of your Page document by select all -> copy, then paste to Note app on OS X. Wait a moment, it will sync with the Note app on iPhone, complete with the formatting and the images, :)

Stuck on "Upgrading" iCloud Drive

Well, nothing we can do about it.

But, just remember that sometime the process time on apple based device (and others platform as well) didn't as reliable.

The "1 minute remaining" installation message that took 2 hours to finish.

The Mail app sending message that tell "34 minute remaining" but actually it's sent and we got bewildered when receiving reply of our message that "didn't" sent yet.  

So, be patient, :)

You could soft reset it, power-off and then turn it on again, or another reset, press home button and power button at same time until the device turned off and boot by itself.

Got some solution from discussions.apple.com, flip the airplane switch to on, it'll gave the error message, flip it to off again, and all is well, the iCloud drive status is on. Weird, not pretty solution, but worked, so no problem for me.

But that won't guarantee the problem is solved for everyone, :)

Some succeed by using it and some didn't.

The alternative is, again, be patient, :)


Trace Animation on Keynote

I used it on my OS X Yosemite, still prefer Anagram+Anvil/Appear combo though, :)

Equalizer for OS X (for all apps on Mac, not just for iTunes)

We’re all know that our beloved OS X come handy with iTunes, it has equalizer!!! (a bit hyperbolic here, :) ) 

But, how about watching HD video on Youtube? Yup, we don’t have EQ set for that, also for Quicktime, and practically anything, … 

Of course we could buy the EQ system for that, 

But, there’s a free workaround for that 

Here we go: 

Install AU Lab, previously is part of XCode, now can be downloaded at https://developer.apple.com/downloads/index.action#

Install SoundFlower from https://code.google.com/p/soundflower/ got 1.6.6b version, restart the mac

Alt-clickthe speaker symbol and choose soundflower as output device

start Sound Flower 

choose audio setup right clik soundflower and click “use this device assound output”

richt click Soundflower again, this time choose ‘configure speaker’

choose multichannel, choose stereo, click the round-rectangle area, done

Start AU Lab, all the way around till got this one

doubleclick the output1, make sure it use soundflower

then click ’show device preferences’, set to soundflower

done

now you can add effect like EQualizer, timeshift, echo, whatever and it’ll affect general sound of OS X

Dating the Air


I don't do any benchmark things, but, from what I feel, this 11" standart MacBook Air has a faster and smoother experience than my mid 2009 13" MacBook Pro full option (2.5 GHz, 4G RAM)

Safari is fast!! You know what I feel when write that, :). Yup, the usually sluggish Safari is run smoother on MBA.

Windows 8.1 run via Virtual Machine without additional fan noise, compared to its VirtualBox VM on my MBP it feels like bless from heaven. The native Mac apps could run side by side without lagging too, certainly it's very big plus. Now I can running Delphi and old Macromedia Flash and coding in silent, meditational state, noisless environment :)

I don't know how 1.4 GHz processor in MBA could outperform its 2.5GHz predecessor, but I dont mind, this 11 inch standart early 2014 MacBook Air is considered as major upgrade for me, :)

Get iWork ‘09 to Work on New Macbook


I got MacBook Air with new iWork Suite as three standalone apps.  

Of course it’s always be three separate app, but I used to think that three as one package, :) 

It turned out that the new iWork Suite is fast, really fast, maybe because it use 64-bit architecture, or maybe I used the new MBA mid 2014. 

But  I missed the capability of my old iWork on MacBook Pro mid 09. It’s the ability to password-protect keynote-imported-pdf from copy content. 

My old MBP mid 09 has old and new iWork run side by side because I purchased the iWork DVD retail. And I don’t have idea where the hell that DVD now.

so I got silly (yet logical) idea, copy iWork folder from Application folder on MBP and paste it on MBA.

done

open Application-iWork ’09-Keynote -> error message. 

Apparently this method is not working. 

(delete that folder)

So I got another silly idea

Download trial version of iWork ’09 which is available everywhere online.

Install it.

done

open keynote, it need serial number, :( 

Another silly idea, download iWork ’09 update from support.apple.com, the iWork 9.3.

install the update, hopefully it delete the serial number question mechanism.

no, no luck, it still ask for serial number, :(

super silly idea (but original :) )

install the trial version, then copy iWork ’09 folder from my old MBP to replace iWork ’09 folder on MBA

didn’t work either. 

Googling, um no, DuckDuckGo-ing, :)

and found out that we could transfer our iWork to new mac, but we have copy not just iWork folder on Application directory.

The complete list of files that have to be transferred is:

/Users//Library/Application Support/iWork '09 
/Library/Application Support/iWork '09 
/Applications/iWork '09 
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iWork09.Installer.plist 
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iWork09.plist


do that, and tadaa… my old iWork is working, :)


and the worst of all, after I do all that and my Old iWork ’09 run with no problem, my iWork retail DVD is found, :)
