EA6500 gets scathing review on CNET with critical issues

http://reviews.cnet.com/routers/linksys-ea6500-smart-wi/4505-3319_7-35441764-2.html
I'm wondering if anyone at Cisco is going to acknowledge the critical connectivity and signal issues with this model.

Cisco would make a big step to decide to make GOOD home routers instead of nice looking routers.
Radio wise I strongly suggest them to fall back and stay with external antenna's like many other manufacturers and like they do them selves with their professional access points. This will make users aware again that the box contains a radio transmitter and receiver and maybe give them a clue that the thing need some kind of freedom around it to do its work: reach wireless clients.
Also give the router air to breath and keep the temperature at healthy level.
With respect to 5 GHz: come on Cisco, release firmware that support DFS / TPC to really fully utilize the available 5 GHz frequency band and avoid neighbor disturbance. Without DFS / TPC the use of 5 GHz makes hardly sense (Broadcom seems to have released DFS / TPC drivers for their hardware....ohhhh wait...Cisco moved to Marvell).
Brings me to next point: Cisco, go back to Broadcom!
I really believe the world is at the end more interested in a good working device then the sleek saucer design. I bet that a slightly more expensive but rock solid router sells better then a cheaper sleek design with many issues. A router is for the majority of users a thing you want to buy, configure one time, put in operation and don't want to look after for the next 5 years.
With respect to to EA6500: keep in mind that the 802.11ac is still a draft standard, changes are expected with subsequent firmware updates (but you never know how that works out for Cisco and if or when they will release new firmware). I suggest for the majority of home users: select a standard that is no longer "draft" (for now: 802.11n).
Firmware: every firmware has bugs, so...Cisco: fix these bugs and release new firmware lets say at least twice a year and for at least the routers you sold in the past 5 years.
Do I at the end need to mention CCC? Ok: Cisco, get rid of it!

Critical issue with exporting images in iPhoto 08?

I have been exporting selected photos to a thumb drive under iPhoto 06. I then take the thumb drive and put it in a pioneer palsma and go to GALLERY mode. Works fantastic and I can then review the images with my clients. Never had a problem with iPhoto 06. I upgraded to iPhoto 08 recently and export selected photos to the thumbdrive under the new upgrade. When I go to Gallery mode on the plasma the photos do not come up and it hangs up the plasma..... ??? Seems to be a problem somewhere with what "08" does with the photos? I ran a number of different test with two different thumb drives using photos from iPhoto 08 and cannot get them to work. I go back to an old iMac that was not upgraded to iPhoto 08 and both thumb drives they work fine on the plasma. In fact it is almost impossible to mess the operation up with "06". I have tried to export the photos in "08" in all the various size options and still no success. I would appreciate any help to this critical problem I am facing since I use this function of showing my images on a plasma on a daily basis . After about 10 to 12 hours of working htis problem I am totally loss as what to do. Thanks for your time.

Thanks for your reply.
1. I select the photos from iPhoto - varied between 5 and 20 (ran different test)
2. Click on FILE
3. Select EXPORT
4. Under the FILE EXPORT tab I have tried all the various options with no success
5. KIND - I make sure they are JPEG files - I have tried the Original also which is actually JPEG files
6. JPEG QUALITY - I have tried all 4 options from LOW to MAX
7. SIZE - I tried all 4 size options from SMALL to FULL
8. FILE NAME - I use filename
9. Select EXPORT tab
10. I export to the thumbdrive and I chcek and they are on the thumbdrive
11. I also tried to EXPORT to the desktop and copy them to the thumbdrive
I click on the photos on the exported images I placed on the thumb drive and they come up fine on PREVIEW on my MAC. No prroblem with the images until I try to use them on the plasma. I go back and use images from iPhoto 06 that I did not call up with the "08" program and they work fine.
Hope that explains what I do. Thanks again

On. Startup I get a flashing folder icon with a question mark

My computer won,t start. After about 30 seconds I get a blinking folder icon with a question mark. I have never seen this before.

There are four general causes of this issue:
1. The computer's PRAM no longer contains a valid startup disk setting when there aren't any problems with the disk itself. This can be checked for by pressing the Option key and seeing if the drive appears.
2. The internal drive's directory structure has become damaged. This requires usage of an alternate bootable system to perform the repair.
3. Critical system files have been deleted. This requires usage of an alternate bootable system to reinstall them.
4. The internal drive has died or become unplugged. This is the most likely case if the computer took a sharp impact or there are unusual sounds coming from its location.

Adobe Reviewer buttons interfere with Captivate simulation

Utilizing the Reviewer buttons (forward, back, Add comment) affects the simulation in Captivate 4. For example, after adding a comment, the buttons on the screen no longer work. Utilizing the back and forward buttons can result in you getting stuck on a page and not being able to move forward either by clicking the Forward button or by following the instructions in the training. The only workaround we have found is to close Adobe Reviewer, reopen the .crev file, and go through the training without clicking on any of the Adobe Reviewer buttons. Do you have any insight into this issue?
Note: our training is a simulation where the user needs to click on a button or click box to progress to the next slide.
I am also wondering whether this issue occurs in Publish mode? Should users utilize both the Captivate buttons and the instructions on the screen to move through the slides?

Hello TheMan and welcome to community,

FFLOGCRT Send Log Report with Critical Transactions Only

Hi ,
I have configured FF (SPM) where in Controllers are getting FF ID login notifications through Emails. Now I have a requirement to stop these notifications and send them only for critical transactions.I have configured critical transactions in table /VIRSA/ZVIRTCODE.
In order to get notifications only for critical transactions I have updated the configuration as below.
CHGLOG Retrieve Change Log     YES
FFAUTH Firefighter Owner Additional Authorization     YES
FFCNTL Firefighter Controller Additional Authorization     YES
FFLOGCRT Send Log Report with Critical Transactions Only     YES
FFLOGIM Send Log Report Execution Notification Immediately     NO
FFLOGNOTI Send Log Report Execution Notification     NO
FFNOTIM Send Firefighter Login Notification Immediately     NO
MAIL Send FirefightId Login Notification     NO
RFC Remote Function Call     LOCAL
My controllers are not getting notified for critical transactions with above config. Please can you suggest where am I going wrong.
SOST/SCOT working fine.
ps: I have gone through the note Note 1065048 - Firefighter Log Not sent in Email to Controller.pdf
Thanks!!

Hi Simon,
I am not using risk analysis and remediation's critical transactions table. My FF (SPM) specific crtitcal transactions are in table
/VIRSA/ZVIRTCODE.
CTRAN Critical Transaction Table from Compliance Calibrator(VRAT)     NO.
I am under impression that table /VIRSA/ZVIRTCODE is used by FF for critical transactions.
Thanks!!

I have an older iMAC that once burned CD's with no issues. Now I get an error message saying "The attempt to burn a disc failed. The device is not accessible, probably because it was removed". I have never had it touched so the device was not removed.Help

I have an olde iMac that once I have an older iMAC that once burned CD's with no issues. Now I get an error message saying "The attempt to burn a disc failed. The device is not accessible, probably because it was removed". I have never had it touched so the device was not removed. Please advise as to what could be the problem. How to fix. Thanks

Try resetting the SMC and PRAM first, if that doesn't help try a cleaning disc.....and then buy an inexpensive external burner. Slimline super drive failures are all too common.
To reset the SMC
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord.
Wait fifteen seconds.
Attach the computer's power cord.
Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

In my report I have to get these record typpes as field name dynamically whichever is available in that lookup and record values against them.
its a BI Publisher report.
please suggest

if you have data in db then you can create xml with needed structure
and so you can create bip report
do you have errors or .... ?

(To Replace http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=406147 if Accepted. )
How do I get Video and Audio Chats with PCs ? iChat FAQ 3 (Updated 7/12/2008)
Applies to iChat 2.x, iChat 3.x and iChat 4.x to any version of AIM on a PC before AIM 6.1
This piece is designed for those trying to connect Mac to PC for Video and Audio chats. Any iChat version Panther and up.
Glossary For This FAQ
This bit is designed for clarity.
Video is the sending and /or recieving of pictures and sound.
Audio is the sending and or receiving of sound only.
One-Way is the ablity to start either an Audio or Video chat from one end to a receipient who can not match your capabilities (or Vice Versa)
What is needed
At the Mac end
A Mac running OS 10.3.x and iChat AV ver 2.1 or 10.4 plus iChat 3 or Leopard and iChat 4
A DSL/Cable/Fibre (Broadband) connection of at least an up link speed of 256kbs.
An AIM , @mac.com or MobileMe (@me.com) account name.
(hosting Multiple person Mac to Mac AV chats requires higher specs and broadband uplink speed).
At the PC end
1 PC running windows XP (home or Pro). THIS A MUST
The AIM Standalone Application, currently at ver. 5.9 at this link. AIM (the Site) now call this version Classic and it cannot be Installed On Vista
Note: there is also Trillian which has a Pro version for $25 that can also Video and Audio chat. The Basic version just Texts and Audio Chats (AIM does not Audio chat)
Some need the aimrtc12.exe file from Here Mostly Earlier than XP or Pre Service Pack 2 XP versions of Windows
Note: It has been noted that this file is now apparently included in Windows XP after Service Pack 2 and above.
An AIM account/screen name (AOL or Netscape count as well)
Service Pack 2 info. This info will allow the PC user to enable AIM thorough the XP Firewall. The Windows Firewall did not exist as such before this
Between both of you.
At least one camera (Mac end)
A sound input device (the camera, if it has one is ok)
Your Buddies screen/account name in each others Buddy Lists
Other tweaks
For some people, using AIM on a PC, may also have to make sure their preferences (properties) are set in the AIM Buddy list, for their camera and /or Mic. (Tuning at Message 570)
This is an icon button lower right on the Buddy List marked "Prefs" (AIM 5.5). This leads to the Preferences. Drop down the list until you read Live Video. Click on this. In the new window that opens click the button that says Tuning Video and Audio. Follow the instructions in the wizard that opens up. Access in AIM 5.9 for this is in the My AIM menu at the top of the Buddy list and then Options
To Start
You should now be able to chat to each other.
If each of you has a camera it can be full Video , as described in the Glossary at the top.
To start from the Mac end, select (highlight) your Buddy with one click. His camera icon should be dark. Click on the icon near his name or the one at the bottom of the Buddy List. (You do not have to start a text chat).
To start from the PC end you need to start a text chat, then select the Video icon at the bottom of the chat window.
If one of you has a camera and the other has a Mic then you will be able to chat One Way but have sound will be both ways.
To start this type of chat from the Mac end you will have to go to the menu item "Buddies" and drop down to the item "Invite to One Way Video Chat"
To start this from a PC follow the directions in the pargraph above. You may need to change the tab to the incoming Video at the back of the two to see the Video. These tabs are added when the Video chat starts and the front one normally states you do not have a camera and shows a connection to buy one.
It is also possible to chat One Way if the other person does not have a Mic: replies will have to be typed in a Text chat.
No Camera and No Mic will cause iChat to End the chat with "No Data Received for 10 Secs"
Summary
For any sort of sound to a PC using AIM, (Talk in PC or Audio in iChat) the Mac will need a camera. The other person can have a Mic and then live chats with sound both ways and Pictures (Video) the other.
NOTE: At This Time It Is NOT Possible to Audio (sound only) between Mac & PC with AIM & iChat
Trillian Basic can Audio. Trillian Pro can Video and has a bigger picture and can do Full Screen.
Another explanation of the set up can be found Here about AIM 5.5 but is transferable.
And Also here

I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link.

How do I get my Apple ID affiliated with my institute?

I work at a University and want to access the new iTunes U course manager (https://itunesu.itunes.apple.com/coursemanager). Does anyone know how I go about getting my apple id affiliated with my institute?
When I try to log into Course Manager I get an error "iTunes Store Account Required". My apple id is my iTunes Store Account, so I assume it is not affiliated with my institute. My apple id is also my developer account, which is linked to my education institute. So I'm not sure what the issue is.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated
cheers,
Andrew

I've tried every way to log in today, using an Apple ID that is registered with the iTunes Store and is associated with our college's iTunes U site as a contributor, then as one that's associated with the public site administrator. This has failed in various ways throughout the day, like others have described.
Examining the debug console in Safari is showing that one of the objects from the login page is giving a 404 Not Found response when you try to log in, leading to the "iTunes Store Account Required" error. I believe something must have broken after they launched this site yesterday, and the varying errors throughout the day would seem to indicate that they're trying to fix it right now.
We'll probably just have to wait until this is repaired.

If there is no loading bar, it's usually a problem with a third party kext file in OS X itself.
You can press the power button down to force a hardware shutdown, then reboot holding the shift key down on a wired or built in keyboard, this will disable them and you go around and update your third party software.
Gray, Blue or White screen at boot, w/spinner/progress bar
Also take this time to backup your users files off the machine if possible.

How to get my custom controller updated with the global custom controller?

Hi all,
I'm new to CRM Web UI and need some advice from the expert. Currently I'm working on component ICCMP_BT_DATES and noticed something weird with this component. When this component is first launch it display the dates of a service ticket correctly. However when I navigate to another screen, save a new ticket and back, the dates are not reflected. When I went in and debug the component, I noticed that the context is still tied to the previous ticket. I think the custom controller is not updated with the latest from the global custom controller.
My question is how do I get my custom controller updated with the latest.
Regards,
Ricky

You have to bind your custom controllers context node to the event NEW_FOCUS of the collection wrapper on the global custom controller.
Best place to do this might be the CONNECT_NODES of the context of your custom controller.
Get the global CuCo with GET_CUSTOM_CONTROLLER() and then the appropriate context node. Now:
SET HANDLER yourMethod for lr_global_cuco->typed_context->thecontextnode->collection_wrapper activation iv_activate.
Of course you have to implement a method similar to ON_NEW_FOCUS as it is on many other nodes.
cheers Carsten
