Has anyone had any luck returning there iMac w/ Lion? I couldn't even reconnect back to the iternet tonight w/o restarting my new iMac.... Looks like folks have been having this problem for months

Has anyone had any luck returning their iMac w/ Lion? I couldn't even reconnect back to the iternet tonight w/o restarting my new iMac.... Looks like folks have been having this problem for months & months .. The Apple tech told me that all I could do is wait for Apple to come up with a fix... Got a new router this week so that isnt' it. Would I be better off w/o this until Apple gets their act together? I downloaded the combo update 10.7.3 & it helped for about a day... yesterday I still had to manually reset the connection but now it's resorting back to disconnectiong w/o fully going into sleep mode first. Sorry to say this is a major lemon. Help!

Seems unfair... I thought I was probalby having a router problem... got a new router this week. Thst's when we realized we have a computer problem. My next door nieghbor got zero sleep staying up all night while trying to help us figure out what the problem could be. He said if it were him he would have returned the iMac / Lion. Got the new iMac w/ Lion for Christmas but didn't realize until this week that Apple is the problem.... Hard to believe that Apple just has kept on selling this like ... oh No problem! Can't stay on the internet... but will sell you another one today! I'm getting mad... It's not every day we spend that kind of money on a computer . & ALL they can give us is that LOUSY Lion combo update. I can't even stay connected long enough to make a vitamin order with Puritan's Pride... & then the disconnection wipes out my cart... so I have to start over. When are they going to fix this! 'Not feeling very positive'. I feel like Apple KNOWINGLY sold my husband a defective... system. 14 days... oh please...

Has anyone had any luck compressing videos with resolutions higher than 1080?

Everytime I try, it fails instantly. Is this not allowed in Compressor 4? It was possible in Compressor 3.

I have a 4K video that I'd like to compress using H.264 or X.264 and restrict the data rate.
Here are some details of the video (created in Motion) I am trying to compress:
DIMENSIONS: 4096 x 2048
FORMAT: H.264
FPS: 24
DATA SIZE: 53.2 MB
DATA RATE: 52.03 MB
and here are settings that I would like to compress it with using Compressor 4.0.4:
CODEC: H.264 or X.264 (both fail)
FRAME RATE: current
KEY FRAMES: Automatic
DATA RATE: Restricted to 7000 kbits/sec (setting it to automatic or any other data rate also fails)
QUALITY: Best
HEIGHT AND WIDTH: 100% of source
I have been able to get a successful compression with this 4K video file using ProRes 422, so that leads me to think this is a codec problem, not a Compressor application problem. Furthermore, I have had the same problem just using Quicktime 7 to export a video with these settings, I get the same failed results.
In Compressor it gives me the message Failed: Quicktime Error: -108
and in Quicktime 7 it gives me the message Failed: qKitErrorCatchAll (-6662)
So, if you had any suggestions about a better codec to use, one that allows me to restrict the data rate on higher than 1080 video files, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Has anyone had any luck exporting to Flash from FC Server?

We haven't been able to get it to work with any of the third party encoders (Telestream, On2, Adobe) for Flash. If anyone has it working we would love to know how you did it!

I've also had no luck exporting to Flash, very frustratingly. In the logs I get an error message:
*ERROR: EMISSINGPARAM*
*Wrapper format missing from destination media format*
I'm not using Episode, just have Flash installed on the server and created a Compressor QuickTime Export Components preset.

Has anyone had any luck viewing upgrade prices on devices on myverizon before their upgrade date?

I have a single line account whose upgrade date is tomorrow, 8/30/2013, yet when I go to the upgrade my device option on Myverizon, all I can see in the way of device prices are full retail prices...no discounted prices or free phones for contract extensions. I did a live chat with a customer service rep who told me it was because 'prices are always changing." Why then, can I see the upgrade prices/deals on OTHER companies websites (ie bestbuy.com & samsclub.com)?? Don't their prices change as well?
My sister, who is also a Verizon customer has a family plan with 5 lines. She was able to see upgrade prices on TWO of her lines a week before their eligible upgrade dates AND upgraded early. Perhaps because she has 5 lines and pays a bigger bill she gets better service than I do?
I've been a customer since LA Cellular, who sold to Airtouch (back in the mid 1990's) who then sold to Verizon...I've had the same phone # and provider for close to 18 years and feel that this is not a great way to treat any customer.The same thing happened to me when I upgraded in 2011. I actually ended up upgrading with Best Buy almost a week before my upgrade date. I didn't want to do that this time, because I had technical issues with my phone and had to get a new one (through Best Buy's warranty...Verizon wouldn't honor the manufacturer warranty because I did not buy the phone from them) Best Buy & Verizon screwed up my data plan, causing me to lose 2 GB of data each month. ( I was on promotional 4GB of data for price of 2 GB, which did not get translated between Best Buy & Verizon when my phone was replaced.
Has anyone else ever been able to view their upgrade prices on myverizon before their actual upgrade date? It's a moot point for me after tomorrow, but I plan to complain to their corporate customer service and any additional ammunition would be very helpful.

Because you're not yet eligible for upgrade. View the devices while not signed in and it will show 2 yr pricing by default.

I'm trying to connect a Sony wireless keyboard and can't figure out how to get the iPad 2 to discover it. Has anyone had any luck using a non-Apple wireless keyboard and mouse?

Apple tech so far hasn't helped except to advise me to get manuals online that Sony doesn't post on its website. I've sent off an inquiry to Sony but don't expect an answer. Apple assumes my devices are bluetooth but the iPad2 hasn't figured out how to discover them, and I don't know how to make them discoverable. I'd like to have the option to use them but so far haven't been able to figure out how.

Heidi-
On the iPad, go to Settings-General-Bluetooth. Set Bluetooth to ON and a new window appears while the iPad searches for Bluetooth devices.
To get the keyboard into a discoverable mode, you may need to remove its batteries for a while. If it is not possible to get it to appear on the iPad, could the keyboard be defective? Can it be discovered by other computers?

Been having iTunes problems for months - now it won't work at all

Hi there,
For the last few months, iTunes has been failing to update (halfway through download it throws up an error saying the update failed. Trying to update manually threw up the errors I've linked to below). So I decided to try to fix it at last, I uninstalled iTunes and tried to reinstall, during the installation I encounter the following error:
http://twitpic.com/9azkja
Clicking "OK" led to a few minutes more of it trying to install itself before this popped up:
http://twitpic.com/9azkmu
"Retry" causes the error to repeat, "Ignore" leads to the installation saying it's successful, yet when I try to launch iTunes, this happens:
http://twitpic.com/9azkpa
Followed by this:
http://twitpic.com/9azkrr
Trying to repair the programme causes the same errors.
I'm running Windows 7 and haven't had any problems with other programmes that I'm aware of although Windows Update has been a bit dodgy for a while (some updates after downloading claim to be installed yet on restart Windows Update still identifies them as due to be downloaded and this process repeats over and over). I haven't made any hardware changes to my system lately and can't think of any software changes around the time the problems started or at all lately. I'm definitely running with administrator privileges.
Any suggestions or advice at all would be very gratefully received.
Thanks,
Steve

Hi Steve,
I can't say I've had the issues myself BUT what I would reccomend is:
1. Completely remove iTunes from your computer and associated registry entries by using a tool such as CCLeaner
2. Make sure you are completely up to date on windows redistributable packages and other updates.
3. Make sure you've selected the appropriate version for your computer i.e. x32 for 32-bit systems and x64 for 64-bit systems.
4. I've just had a quick Google around and as I said above with the redistributable packages in particular look at Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package ATL Securty Upfate which can be found here:http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=14431
For removing iTunes completely, it may be helpful to read http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
For your second error message about the entry point not being found, I found the article https://discussions.apple.com/message/11901253?messageID=11901253&amp%3b#1190125 3 helpful.
Hope this helps,

I am trying to run PLC programming software, Click, thru windows 8.1, has anyone had any luck?

I am trying to run a PLC software, Click, on a Mac Pro with a windows partition and windows 8.1 software. The software runs fine, but cannot recognize a USB port. Does anyone have an answer for this or tried the same thins?

I am trying to run iTunes on a PC with Windows 8.1, but the setup wizard tells me there is no space on the D:/ drive, which makes sense, since my D:/ drive is a CD-ROM.
Even though you're getting a slightly different error message, try the following user tip:
"Invalid drive X:\" install errors

Has anyone had any luck implementing their own Content Mgt SPI ?

Hello,
We have the content in a Vignette V7 using Oracle. We are weighing the pros and cons of pushing the content to the BEA Tables or implementing the SPI against the Oracle Tables in our Vignette Production Stage.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Its probably easier to write code to dump content+metadata into a file system area and have the BulkLoader push the content and metadata into Portal.

I have been having this problem many times ever since I updated to iOS 7.

My music will not sync and it's really annoying. I have tried many things but nothing will work. I even restored my iPod and still nothing. I don't know if its my iPod or just my iTunes. Can someone please help because I'm getting really tired of this and nothing working out. This has happen multiple times before too.

- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device. You did not say the type of restore you performed.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

I have an iMac 27" which is 4 years old and probably overdue for a clean-up. Is there any good reliable software out there that would help? Has anyone had any experience of 'Mackeeper'?

Has anyone had any experience of 'Mackeeper'?

Check how many applications are starting when you log in, I found that if there was a lot of activity at login Finder did not display the icons on the desktop correctly, again like you it did not occur at every login, just occasionally.
For Safari have you tried resetting Safari, if that does not help you could disable plugins and extensions one at a time. You may find one of those is causing the problem.

Has anyone had any experience with using 'MacKeeper'?

Has anyone had any experience using 'MacKeeper'?

I am afraid its worsen then THAT!!. I bought two licences from those fraud spammers, liftetime with "satisfaction or moneyback guarentee".
Both my Imac and MacPro kept crashing after installing it. All the helpdesk from zeobit did for me was sending me mails i should re-install osx and mackeeper.
When that didnt help, the gave in. I asked my money back, as in the guarentee. Thet denied flat out. "Sir this is not OUR software causing the problem, but OSX. Go there with your complained!"
Alsoo there newsletter......i UNLISTED 9 times now and still i get 5-8 spam mails a week.

Has anyone had any of the iLife programs crash on them? especially imovie 6

Has anyone had any of the iLife programs crash on them?
I have had my new intel imac 20" for 2 weeks now and i like it a lot...
except I have been getting crashes on imovie (especially), and garageband.
I have had about 10 crashes total so far in about 2 weeks.
Is this sound normal?
thanks, technoreid

How much spare hard disc space have you got? ..Could your disc be so clogged that there's no room for any more movie?
You'll need about 10% of your total hard disc space - e.g; 6GB for a 60GB hard disc - to be kept empty for your Mac to do its "housekeeping" (..creating temporary files, indexing things, and so on..) and iMovie footage uses about 13GB per hour of video.
So if you have a 60GB hard disc, and it's only got 15GB spare, then 6GB of that will really be needed by the Mac itself, giving you about 9GB of usable space, and if you import half an hour of video (6GB) and start cutting it around and editing the audio too, and duplicating a few clips, and adding stills, you're soon going to run out of space!
If your Mac's disc is almost full, you'll probably need to get an external FireWire disc ..say a 160GB or similar size.. then format it as 'Mac OS Extended' (..by selecting that add-on disc and using the 'Erase' tab in the Disk Utility program..) and then you can copy your project over to that new, empty disc, and continue editing it there.

Has anyone had any problems with their charger blowing out?

Has anyone had any problems with their charger blowing out? mine blew, there's now a charred pin on the charger and in the socket of the macbook. The plastic around the charge socket is also cracked & distorted from the blow-out. It wasn't a power surge as no other electrical items were affected. It wasn't liquid or dust, as I'm the only person who uses it & I'm very careful. I'm concerned that the consequences could have been terrible. I wasn't present when it happened though, I can just see the evidence after the event.
I have a mid 2010 13" Macbook running the latest software & use the original magsafe charger that came with it.
Will I have to fork out for a costly repair or is there a safety issue that Apple will sort out for me?
Any advice would be much appreciated.

Everything in the box with iPhone is covered by the iPhone warranty ,go to Apple genius bar before warranty expires
