In Version 10 on my HP Pavilion HPE Series it takes a little over a minute. Is this common experience? Is there some way to decrease this time? Does it have any thing to do with virus checking? I guess that one possible solution is to just leave the Mathematica FrontEnd open all the time, say by keeping the Documentation Center open but minimized. David J M Park Jr 2014-07-11T19:45:42Z https://community.wolfram.com/groups/-/m/t/1202244 I run Mathematica 11.2 in Windows 10. I have a 4k monitor (resolution 3840x2160) at work and another at home running at recommended 150% scale. The Mathematica interface looks really blurry and it is painful to read (see attached image, the window behind Mathematica is the browser window where this message was being composed. Browser text is very sharp, as is the rest of Windows. Mathematica text is blurry). My laptop (Surface book) runs at a resolution of 3000x2000 and 200% scale and Mathematica there looks even blurrier. High dpi monitors have been out for many years and Mathematica has always been blurry for me on them. Is there a way of making it give good text? Am I missing some non-obvious setting that improves this? Luis.

If you're running a Raspbian image provided by the Raspberry Pi foundation, you can now install the software with the following steps: [list=1] [*]Ensure that you have at least [b]600[/b] megabytes of free storage on your Raspberry Pi's SD card. The package itself will take up 429 megabytes of disk space when installed. [*][code]$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install wolfram-engine[/code] [*]Agree to the licensing terms displayed (Use tab to move between fields in the license window. You will only need to do this once). [*]Wait for the installation to complete.  [/list]You should now find Mathematica and the Wolfram Language installed on the LXDE desktop under the [b]Education[/b] menu and the Wolfram Language under the [b]Programming [/b] menu. In order to start the application from the Linux command line, type:[code]$ wolfram[/code]To start Mathematica, type:[code]$ mathematica[/code] If you have any questions about installing the application on your Raspberry Pi, feel free to ask!  Alex Newman 2013-11-21T17:12:50Z https://community.wolfram.com/groups/-/m/t/1855244 Here are two simple but extremely convenient keyboard shortcuts that I've used for years. - This post is a favor to all my friends who type slowly (like me) - These shortcuts simply create a pair of brackets containing a template placeholder as the current new selection - Essentially, it's just a stripped-down version of the bulky (Command + Shift + K + Up/Down Arrow + Enter) completion **Favorite Shortcut #1:** Autocomplete single brackets by pressing `CommandKey + [` ![enter image description here][1] **Favorite Shortcut #2:** Autocomplete part brackets by pressing `CommandKey + ]` ![enter image description here][2] ## How to set them up ## On MacOS, first make a backup of the following file, in case you break it: FileNameJoin[{$InstallationDirectory, "SystemFiles/FrontEnd/TextResources/Macintosh/KeyEventTranslations.tr"}]; On my machine this path resolves to: *"/Applications/Mathematica.app/Contents/SystemFiles/FrontEnd/TextResources/Macintosh/KeyEventTranslations.tr"* Then, preferably in a non-Mathematica editor (e.g. Sublime), open the above file and copy-and-paste these following code into the list inside `EventTranslations`. For the first shortcut: Item[KeyEvent["[",Modifiers->{Command}],FrontEndExecute[{FrontEnd`NotebookWrite[FrontEnd`InputNotebook[],"[\[SelectionPlaceholder]]"],FrontEndToken["MovePreviousPlaceHolder"]}]] And for the second (of course making sure they are separated by a comma): Item[KeyEvent["]",Modifiers->{Command}],FrontEndExecute[{FrontEnd`NotebookWrite[FrontEnd`InputNotebook[],"\[LeftDoubleBracket]\[SelectionPlaceholder]\[RightDoubleBracket]"],FrontEndToken["MovePreviousPlaceHolder"],FrontEndToken["MovePreviousPlaceHolder"]}]] Finally, restart Mathematica, and presto, they should both be working. And to remove the shortcuts, simply remove those items or replace the .tr file with the backup.

I currently pay for ChatGPT Plus, and it should not be limited. I can only assume I made an error when inputting my API secret. However, I need help finding where to update the API secret I shared after installing the plugin. I cannot find anything in the options. Where can I update my API secret inside my notebook? Is there some sort of global issue with rate limiting going on right now? ![enter image description here][1] [1]: https://community.wolfram.com//c/portal/getImageAttachment?filename=Screenshot2023-06-15at7.47.44AM.png&userId=2300010 Ziggy Stardust 2023-06-15T11:48:38Z https://community.wolfram.com/groups/-/m/t/1951871 The iPad Pro is already way more powerful than a lot of notebooks so it makes a lot of sense now to have a full version of Mathematica running locally instead of just the Wolfram Cloud app. This would also be a good excuse to provide full Metal support so GPUs in the Apple ecosystem would be supported for computation as well and not just graphics. maxscience n 2020-04-23T12:31:14Z https://community.wolfram.com/groups/-/m/t/1299166 I've had this problem before, and never got any help. I am not able to install any Wolfram products. I download the download manager .exe OK. But when I run it (by double clicking on it), it hangs. I see it on the task manger. Eventually it times out. According to instructions, it is supposed to open "immediately". Yet., this has never happened to me. This window never opens. So I have no idea why it says "immediately" ![enter image description here][1] I made sure also the desktop is clear, just in case it is hiding behind some window. I had this problem before when I tried to install the Wolfram player. Same thing happens. I download the DM.exe OK. But it never runs. [Here is a link][2] Today, I wanted to install 11.3 on windows 7. I downloaded `Mathematica_11.3.0_WIN_DM.exe` OK. But again, it does not start. ![enter image description here][3] I also tried running it as administrator. No help. it still hangs. I do not use Windows firewall. I use ESET security/anti-virus software. Been using it for many years with no problems from any software. But I also disabled this software now to see if it has any effect, then tried running the Mathematica download manager. It still hanged. I also booted the PC in safe mode (but with network enabled). Then Tried running DM manager. Again, it hangs. Even in safe mode. If I leave it running, after about 40 minutes of so, it times out. ![enter image description here][4] If I try to run it a second time while waiting for the first one, which is still running, I get error that only one instance is allowed to run ![enter image description here][5] This whole process of installing Mathematica is broke. Before, I would just download the .exe itself. I do not care if it was 10 GB. Now, I can't install any Wolfram product using this download manager thing. Is it possible to download the actual installer.exe or the product file itself without having to download this small download manager (as used to be the case before?) It does not matter if it too large. I see that on Linux, there is no download manager. But only for windows and Mac. It will be better to also give the choice to customer to either use the download manager or to download the file directly itself, and let **customers decide what to do**. I have no idea why it does not start. I can't see any errors. I see it sitting there in the task manager and nothing happens. My PC is home edition, running windows 7, 64 bit. Latest version. Any ideas what to do?

Abbasi 2018-03-10T05:33:17Z https://community.wolfram.com/groups/-/m/t/1717637 The attached notebook is the product of a lot of errors on my part. And I hear that even very sophisticated Wolfram Language users are having difficulty with the installation. Here's my effort to clarify some of the hidden steps you may need to take. If you like it, let people know. If it has errors or incompleteness, let people know. I think the ability to access the Wolfram Language through Jupyter is a great thing for the Wolfram Ecosystem. The more people who can take advantage of the opportunity without a soul gutting out-of-box experience, the better. ##Step 1 : Figure out where the heck Jupyter is installed on your system## You might as well do this first. If you don' t where Jupyter is, all of this is unlikely to work. On my Mac I use Jupyter through Anaconda. So I kind of thought it was there. I ultimately found a command called jupyter_mac.command in this directory where /Users/sethchandler is my "home" directory. jupyterLocation = "/Users/sethchandler/anaconda3/bin"; Now we have to fiddle with the "Path Environment" for this session. Here's my current environment. initialEnvironment = GetEnvironment["PATH"] > "PATH" -> "/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin" It' s a bunch of directory paths separated by colons. Now let' s change it. SetEnvironment["PATH" -> StringJoin["PATH" /. initialEnvironment, ":", jupyterLocation]] Check if it worked GetEnvironment["PATH"] > "PATH" -> > "/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/Users/sethchandler/anaconda3/bin" ##Step 2 : Get the Wolfram Language code you will need; it' s in a file## 1. Browse to here: https://github.com/WolframResearch/WolframLanguageForJupyter/blob/master/configure-jupyter.wls 2. Press the Raw button. 3. Go the browser menu and click Save Page As or whatever saves files. Put the file somewhere you will remember it. Now a bunch of Wolfram Language code is on your local machine. ##Step 3 : Get the Paclet## 1. Browse to here : https : // github.com/WolframResearch/WolframLanguageForJupyter/releases 2. Click on Assets 3. Click on WolframLanguageForJupyter-0.9 .1.paclet or whatever the current number is. This should start a standard download process. Stick the file somewhere on your machine where you will remember it. ##Step 4 : Install the Paclet## I stuck my paclet in the Downloads directory of my user directory. PacletInstall["/Users/sethchandler/Downloads/WolframLanguageForJupyter-0.9.1.paclet"] ##Step 5: Load up the Package that was in the Paclet## Needs["WolframLanguageForJupyter`"] ##Step 6 : Do it!## Invoke whatever form of secular of divine imprecations work best for you and run this : ConfigureJupyter["Add"] If nothing happens after about 5 seconds, that' s perfect. Look below to "prove" that it worked. ![enter image description here][1] [1]: https://community.wolfram.com//c/portal/getImageAttachment?filename=73441.png&userId=20103 Seth Chandler 2019-07-02T14:23:25Z https://community.wolfram.com/groups/-/m/t/2430590 I was recently notified of the upgrade to Mathematica 13 from V 12.2. The issue is that M13 (or 12.3) for that fact ***does not operate*** under Windows 7, apparently only Win 10. So I then have to upgrade from Win 7 to Win 10, or lose the ability to upgrade Mathematica, to which I am entitled under my service plan. Does anyone know of a workaround for this problem. Wolfram have been just saying that I need to upgrade to Windows 10, and that is a Wolfram policy. I have now gone to Maple - not OS dependent. So they should at least refund the cost of the service plan, if they aren't able to provide a solution. And there are probably another several tens of thousand Win 7 customers out there in the same boat. How about some loyalty to the customers!! Prof. R.J.

Launching Mathematica results in a 'Wolfram Product Activation' dialog and I'm asked for an Activation Key. What do I enter at this point so that I can click 'Activate'? Sam Nelson 2015-02-19T10:37:50Z https://community.wolfram.com/groups/-/m/t/371693 The Title says it all! Murray Eisenberg 2014-10-17T21:09:46Z https://community.wolfram.com/groups/-/m/t/291691 I am currently running version 9 on my Windows XP machine. When I try to run the Mathematica 10 Windows installer I get the cryptic message: > This program requires Windows NT version 6.0 or later. Windows NT??? What century are we in? I assume this is telling me I need Vista or something. Does this mean I am forever stuck on version 9, because I am not going to be upgrading from XP? Hairy Thoughter 2014-07-11T22:53:36Z https://community.wolfram.com/groups/-/m/t/1028536 Hi all, Mathematica 11.0.1 is now available for the Raspberry Pi on Raspbian. If you already have Mathematica installed on your Raspberry Pi, you can update with the following: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade wolfram-engine If you don't already have Mathematica installed you can run the following commands to install it: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install wolfram-engine New features for the Raspberry Pi include : - Neural Network features including constructing custom nets : http://reference.wolfram.com/language/guide/NeuralNetworks.html - Audio processing features including out of core streaming of large sounds as well as advanced audio processing : http://reference.wolfram.com/language/guide/AudioProcessing.html - Travel based path plan functions including path finding from one city to another : http://reference.wolfram.com/language/guide/LocationsPathsAndRouting.html - Channel based communication for sending and receiving messages : http://reference.wolfram.com/language/guide/Channel-BasedCommunication.html - Powerful and easy scripting through WolframScript : http://reference.wolfram.com/language/ref/program/wolframscript.html - And many more : http://reference.wolfram.com/language/guide/SummaryOfNewFeaturesIn11.html Additionally, with the new release of WolframScript on the Raspberry Pi, you can install WolframScript standalone and run it without a local kernel against the cloud using the `-cloud` option. This means you can use the Wolfram Language through WolframScript on the Raspberry Pi without having wolfram-engine installed by running it against the cloud. See the documentation page for WolframScript for more details.

I have received numerous warnings from other software providers about the update not being compatible including RStudio, but Wolfram has not issued any updates or statements on the update so I am assuming there have been no reported issues.  Jon Rogers 2013-10-23T04:32:08Z https://community.wolfram.com/groups/-/m/t/3155725 Great having Mathematica 14 now also available for the Raspberry Pi, thank you very much! The only problem is that when starting an upgraded install (from 13.3.1). it stops with a series of errors, the first shown in the screenshot (I'm not using walynd but the old X/VNC combo). ![Mathematica 14 startup error][1] Thanks for your help, Michael [1]: https://community.wolfram.com//c/portal/getImageAttachment?filename=Mathematica14_error.jpg&userId=1664744 Michael Byczkowski 2024-04-09T18:24:27Z https://community.wolfram.com/groups/-/m/t/2570909 **Technical Support advisory**: RESOLVED. The updated installer is now available in the **Wolfram User Portal** and **Wolfram Account**. ---------- **Original advisory**: The original Wolfram Language 13.1 documentation installer for Linux has a serious bug. If the installation is stopped before completing, files in the user directory may be deleted. We are actively working on a fix, but note that this issue is not triggered if the documentation installs successfully. If you have already installed the Wolfram Language 13.1 documentation, there is no reason to uninstall. Please discard any copies of the original installer. A new installer will be available in the Wolfram User Portal and Wolfram Account as soon as testing concludes. EDITORIAL BOARD 2022-07-15T01:33:56Z https://community.wolfram.com/groups/-/m/t/1310073 Following a recent upgrade from 11.2 to 11.3 I have found that Mathematica repeatedly crashes (black rather than coloured code) when using some custom functions that I have developed. It is not my Mac as similar problems occur on Macs belonging to my colleagues. Reverting to 11.2 or earlier solves the problem completely. I am still trying to isolate some trigger code examples that I can send to Wolfram support. Are others experiencing such crashes? Rudolph Kalveks 2018-03-27T12:44:55Z https://community.wolfram.com/groups/-/m/t/1479746 any problem with Mojave before I switch to it? michel 2018-09-26T02:01:06Z
