Lossing it!

Running a trail version of the adobe cloud with windows 8.1 and have issues with photoshop freezing and error problems? updates all seem to be current.

You have to provide exact system info and the crash details from your Event Viewer. Just saying that something is wrong is meaningless and merely mentioning Win 8.1 is by no means exact system info...

I've just spent a fustrating 15 minutes with Bt Support chat who just seemed want to pass me on to the BT Business team, so I thought I'd post here, for a more informed response.

Hi Jane, Thanks for the reply. I have now purchased an AEBS(n) to try to overcome this problem. The Apple site says it is compatible with all versions of Airport card so I thought it would solve the problem. My new problem is to be found here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1087292&tstart=0
However to answer your questions, The OS is 10.4.10 and I have run every updater I can find for all Macs concerned. hope this helps.

At a loss with phone line

Firstly I am stating for the record that I have a problem with my phone line. My broadband issues are just a by-product of the phone line fault.
This problem has been going on for several years, although, 2 months ago i made some progress.
The problem with my phone line occurs during extreme weather conditions, heavy rain or winds and as a result of it not being a permanent feature of my phone line. Over the past year, it has got a lot worse (broadband constantly dropping, struggling to be heard when on the phone), and after a lot of arguing with BT an engineer came out. Now bare in mind that the BT line tests came back as perfect and not a problem. engineer took one look at the cable coming in to the house and it crumbled in his hand. He also mentioned that he was picking something "odd" up on the line, but couldn't be sure what it was and seeing as the broadband connected that he would leave it.
Since the engineers visit, I have had an OK phone line, just a bit quiet, until 2 weeks ago. When we had all that rain. The crackles came back that evening, causing crackles and white noise down the phone line. It lasted an hour or so, but enough time to turn my 2Mbps bras profile into a 130k profile. 3 days later and we recover (even though some intermittent crackles persist). The very next day and we're downloading at 2.5Mbps, the phone rings and the crackles are back.
The next day I ring up and complain and receive the whole dialogue about changing me £120 if the engineer comes out and can't find a fault. Funnily enough, the crackles (being intermittent) are not crackling at the time the engineer turns up, however, he states "The is more noise on the line than there should be" and "I'm going to pass it over to the underground team and see if they can find where the fault is". At this point I am now feeling hopeful that finally the fault might be found....
Half an hour ago I have heard nothing, I decide to phone up and see if there is any news... No fault found and expect a bill for £120 is the response, from a very nice Indian lady who did seem to struggle with understanding me or at least hearing me. i protested and asked how could the engineer tell me one story and for me to then be told that a line test shows no fault and that I have to pay!
Where it currently stands, is that I have insisted that the problem still exists and I have been told it will be resolved between 24-48hours.
I will of course wait and see what BT come back with tomorrow, but I am at a loss of what more I can do. I work from home and having an equivalent to ISDN when I pay for broadband because the phone line keeps having a fit is getting a bit of a hassle. If the BRAS IP profile did not take 3days to recover after a bad storm, then I could cope, but I'm now been on a 130k connection for over a week now and am looking at having to pay 3120 just because I am trying to do something about it.
If I turned round to my customers and said I'd look at their issue, but if I couldn't see anything I'd be charging them £120, they'd move else where.
Any advice as to how I can take this forward?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I thought I had better post an update and I am pleased to say that it seems it has a potentially positive outcome.
First of all the lady I spoke to on Friday got back to me yesterday to say that yet again OpenReach had investigated my issue "outside the property" and claimed to have "fixed the problem". While I am sceptical that they actually did anything (surely the broadband should have disconnected, if they fixed anything like replacing a cable, but as I am not a telcom's engineer I have not authority to make judgement), the lady implied that I had a case to dispute any charge if it ended up on my bill.
The second was a response from a forum moderator who says that after reading my posts, my email and my fault reports, they say that it sounds like this is being caused by "a high resistance fault on your line. These can be very had to get to the bottom of unless the engineer is testing the line when condition are bad" and while notes that the fault has been closed (conversation yesterday with lady from BT), they suspect that if the line does have this type of fault, then it is highly unlikely that the fault has actually been fixed and I should contact them back as soon as the noise starts up again. Oh, and they have requested no charges be applied for the visit on Thursday.
So, fingers crossed... It does seem to highlight quite a variance in the quality of customer service that you get from BT. Plus, no matter how frustrated you get, you should persevere, as there are some good people that seem willing to help and will be on your side.

At a loss. Wiring a possessed house I think! Input needed

Need some help.
I know and have done a lot of networking No pro, but self taught. Did run Ethernet of my whole house (ex wife's house now ) pre wifi days. Running wires, using switches and routers. All worked. Have down a ton of wifi - all Apple gear for myself in my location, friends and family. Good to go. I currently run a bunch in my home for iPhones, computers, netflix, itunes server, Air Video for all devices. Flawless.
So I'm not a dummy at least. So……
To my dads house. My on going project for a year. Great house. Big. Hand built back in the '50's. All plaster. Well made.
1- His office - cable modem to Airport Extreme - named BASE. Across this room, one Airport express (all AX are older g units) for the stereo from computer.
Now when I try to extend this network only for him to use his iPhone with Apple Remote to control music, I have now bought 5 Airport Expresses - the signal will not carry for more than 10 feet at best in this house (it's possessed I swear). NOT KIDDING.
I put an Express 10 feet from the office to a kitchen, why because any further I get no signal connection.
From this Express another one 10 feet for a den.
But the signal is so weak it doesn't work.
The house is plaster - I guess very well plastered and who knows what metal lathering is behind the plaster? It's a ranch.
What could possibly abort wifi signal like this. Oh, I might add, no iPhones work in the house either. We're in NY.Long Island. Major ATT signal. Nada in house. Go outside no problem.
So I'm going to tackle this again this weekend. Start from scratch. Any insight? I'm asking because I'm at a loss and think I'M NUTS! LOL
What would make wifi not carry for any distance? Lot's of windows in the house too.
I'm on the verge of telling him to have cable run another wire and modem to the other side of the house.
I'm stumped. I was going to post a few times but can't imagine why I can't get this working. Feel like a dunce.
Right now he tells me it's no connection in the den. The last AX extender not 10 feet from him.
Thanks in advance.

In addition to metal, water also will cause significant reduction in signal. The higher the frequency, the worse the problem. (One of the reasons why in the past submarines needed to surface to use their radios.) Perhaps the plaster or wood is exceptionally wet or the particular plaster they used has a high metal content. You may want to try using only 2.4GHz instead of 5HGz because lower frequencies penetrate walls better. I'm grasping for straws, but I'm not sure what else you could try short of tearing down walls.
I will tell a story of one wiring job I did. My boss gave a quote and approval sight unseen. He normally didn't do this but due to various circumstances and time constraints, he took a gamble. The job was to install a DSL modem and wireless router for a doctor's office. The modem and router were in the managers office. The reception area in the next room would have two workstations about 15 feet away, connected wirelessly. The doctor's office would get one laptop connected wirelessly, about 100 feet at the other end of the building. The building was all wood construction so no one foresaw what happened next. The manager's computer was fine since it was wired. One of the wireless reception workstations was fine with full signal strength since it was a line of sight through an open doorway to the router. The other reception workstation was working but only had 50% signal strength. (Not line of sight to the router.) The doctor's laptop had zero bars. I moved the laptop next to the router and got 100% signal strength. I walked the laptop next to the workstation with line-of-sight, and still got 100%. I walked to the other reception workstation and got 50%, same as the workstation. I walked out of the reception area turned left and started to walk down the hallway to the doctor's office. I took no more than 5 steps and got zero bars! I walked back a few steps and the meter jumped to 50%. I had to do this a few times to fully convince myself. It was only a chance conversation I had with one of the nurses who recalled that the former occupant of the office was a dentist. So we surmised that the room that the router was in might have had the x-ray machine, so they would have lined the walls with lead or whatever. In any case, we ended up having to pull wires. But we learned that regardless of what it looks like on the outside... But this does sound quite similar to your experience.
There's also the time that my coworkers found that the whole wall was 1/4" steel plate. The walls were covered with drywall so we didn't know it was there until we ruined a half dozen drill bits. It seemed like it was armor plate steel. We think the building used to be a indoor gun range or something. And there was the time that we encountered hardened concrete walls at an office using a former military building. Fortunately neither of those had Wi-Fi but we likely would have had signal problems in both cases. It taught us that we can't assume and needed to do a thorough inspection ahead of time.
So while I don't think the house is possessed, I do suspect that the original builder used some funky local material. Maybe he was a conspiracy theorist and has tinfoil in all the walls.

At a total loss how to export IPhone 4 video To My PC

I've read and posted in various threads and looked all over the net. I admit I'm at a total loss as what I'm doing wrong at this point.
I want to take the video from my Iphone and move it to my PC so I can upload it in HD to youtube.
I've made sure to make sure my phone doesn't sync right away, gone to the my computer and click on my phone (shows a camera), then copy and paste or drag. When it moves it over it say 0 bytes.
I'll even post a link a buddy of mine sent and if you look at step 9 it says the videos should be quick time files. Mine says nothing where it says file types.
http://www.notebooks.com/2010/06/29/how-to-get-hd-video-from-you-iphone-4/
Is there something I'm doing wrong? Like I said I'm at a total loss.

I'm not sure if this will help you, but I ran across the same issue. When I tried to pull the videos off the phone in windows, it would hang during the transfer, or not transfer at all. My photos and videos are kept on an external drive and I was trying to copy to that external drive. I copy and pasted the videos into the pictures folder on my PC (instead of the external drive) and it worked like a charm. Once that was done, I just had to drag and drop into the external drive.
I hope that helps!

T500 performance loss and restart issue after low battery shutdown

Hi,
Some days ago I experienced a significant loss in performance of my T500. Unfortunately it seems to be a continuous loss and the games I play, e.g. empire total war that did run ok before are nearly unplayable at the moment.
Additionally, when the computer shuts down due to low battery, it no longer manages to resume windows but always crashs during reboot (black screen and hard disk symbol is moving, no other activity for 10 minutes)
I am working with the standard vista installation and installed all automatic updates, but also every time when I shutdown the computer, no matter how long it has been running (even after 1 minute and after a rebooting 3 minutes ago), the red shutdown symbol in start shows that an update needs to be installed.
any ideas?
Many thanks in advance !

Well, the problem, seem's to have reoccured: Battery ran out (even the indicator leds on the side didn't show any life), Time reset to 1.1.2001, again some rebooting and setting the time again...
Is this a sign of a degrading battery health status?
It looks like reseting the SMC didn't help after all.

At a loss with phone line and broadband

Hi,
First of all, sorry for cross posting this, but as you might gather I'm currently stuck between a rock and a hard place.
http://community.bt.com/t5/Phones/At-a-loss-with-phone-line/td-p/54639
I'm not going to repeat everything in that post, just to say when all equipment is unplugged and you get crackles and white noise through the phone, it can not be equipment, no matter how intermittent. Am I correct?
The main reason for cross posting is around the annoying BRAS IP profile. It seems that for 30mins of static, I get stuck on a 130k profile for 3days. I could cope with the occasional outage or slow down, but 3days is half a week and when you have the recent bad weather, you get 1day of decent profile before the next spat! As a result of this, I would like to see if anyone else in the community has been through similar?
I will point out that I have been working in IT for 13years, so I like to pretend that I know something about things, but I must say that BT is one of the only companies that I deal with and dealt with that seem insistent on blaming the customer for everything.

No I'm suggesting the mod team is preferable to calling India ....
What they do with you is down to them .... and you.
Allbeit I doubt you'll see a profile reset, but even better you may see a lasting resolution, hopefully.

At a loss, BT can't seem to fix my problem.

I don't know if anyone else has any suggestions but I'm at a loss here.
We've had nothing but endless problems with BT over the last 4 months and I'm simply lost now.
It started when me and my girlfriend recently moved into our new ground floor flat early January and an engineer came round to set up our infinity connection (we moved it with us, had absolutely no problems at last address). He got the internet working and said someone will be round later to fix the phone line. The engineer came round and fixed the phone line but in doing so, broke the internet connection and then left. We then tried to arrange visits from various engineers, none of which actually showed up. I was even told on 2 seperate occasions that "the work will be done without anyone having to come into the property. Someone is actually working on it now" which I found out later to be a blatent lie as no one had been booked to come round. An engineer finally came out to fix our connection 11 whole days after it was initially supposed to be connected.
Unfortunately, that was only the first problem. Now, whilst the internet does work and we do get reasonable speeds (35/10 wired) the connection will drop anywhere between 10 seconds to an hour at a time at random points during the day, mainly at peak times. This will result in the DSL light on the white OpenReach modem flashing or going out completely or, since we upgraded to HH5, the light turning Amber/Orange. As someone who works from home and also enjoys online gaming in my spare time you can imagine how frustrating this can be and is starting to have a negative impact on my business. BT seem to be at a complete loss as to what the problem is, although they'd never actually admit this.
These things have so far been ruled out:
Our hub was upgraded to a HH5 with the builtin modem (not a hub or OpenReach modem issue)
All wires have been replaced.
Phoneline from the flat has been fault checked which it passed.
The OpenReach socket (the combined DSP and Phonline one) has been replaced and upgraded.
Connection has been completely restarted several times.
I'm not too good with the technical side of things but I did notice in the HomeHub settings that I'm getting a Noise Margin of - 12.8 / 17.6. That isn't good, is it? From what I can tell it should be around the 6 mark? Could inteference from someone else's flat be causing these problems?
EDIT: Oh, just thought I'd add that the actual phone line has been crystal clear the entire time with no crackling or dropouts.
EDIT 2: Something I've just noticed: When my line is stable and working correctly, the first value in the Noise Margin drops significantly (currently hovering around 3.6 / 17.1). This is indeed starting to look like the problem.
After spending roughly 4 hours on the phone to BT in the last 4 months (they REALLY enjoy putting you on hold and moving you between departments) I've given up and refuse to call them again.
This is my last ditch attempt to get my problem fixed and any help at all anyone can provide would be very much appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

When I use iMovie 11 to capture HD video from my Handycam, there is a loss of quality that is very noticable when vewing on apple tv3. What is the best way to get full HD video quality for home movies on apple tv?

I currently capture HD 1080i video from my Handycam using iMovie 11, then convert the .mov files to .mp4 using Aunsoft Video Converter. Then view the videos on apple tv. The quality is definitely lacking. Not sure if the loss of qulaity is from using iMovie 11 or the Aunsoft software. Any ideas on how to capture HD qulaity video and view on Apple TV?

These are the results of a test I ran, but I don't know how to solve the problem. The game is unplayable because of the amount of packet loss. I know it is an issue of connection between the game and my router, so should I get a new router if mine is old?

The router I would imagine to be okay for the first bit, but for the sake of things, reboot the router and also try giving your ONT a reboot by unplugging it from AC power and then disconnecting the battery. Re-connect it after 30 seconds by connecting the battery and then plugging it back into AC power.
Also, see if the packet loss takes place during specific times of the day. If your router has a WAN connection over Coax (rather than an Ethernet connection) to your ONT, also consider checking your MoCa speeds based on this FAQ. Poor MoCa speeds can suggest shoddy coaxial causing some issues, too: https://secure.dslreports.com/faq/verizonfios/3.2_MOCA#16569

New@SSIS - Excel Src: The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data

Good day,
I am currently working on a SSIS package that had been built by a previous user. That Package allows me to import data from an excel source to a SQL table. The excel sheet holds multiple columns, However I am having difficulty with one
column when running the package.
The column rows hold a character and an integer (eg: N2). The data types are as follows:
SQL – varchar(3),NULL
SSIS - double-precision float [DT_R8]
I then inserted a data conversion task to change the data type. The task holds the following properties:
Input column – F6
Output Alias – Copy of F6
Data Type – string[DT_STR]
Length – 50
When I execute the package I receive the following error:”
[Excel Source Data [76]] Error: There was an error with output column "F6" (91) on output "Excel Source Output" (85). The column status returned was: "The value could not be converted because
of a potential loss of data.".
I do know that usually the message "The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data." refers to a data type or length problem.
Further insight to this problem will be much appreciated.

Hi Zahid01,
From the error message you post, we can infer the issue is caused by the input column “F6” cannot convert to the output column in Excel Source.
Based on my test, I can reproduce the issue in my environment. The exactly cause is the data type of input column “F6” cannot convert to the data type of corresponding output column. For example, the data type of input column “F6” is [DT_STR], the data type
of corresponding output column is [DT_I4], and there are some nonnumeric values in the input column “F6”. When we execute the task, the error occurs. We can verify the issue in the Advanced Editor dialog box of Excel Source. The following screenshot is for
your reference:
To avoid this issue, please make sure the input column can convert to the output column in Excel Source, including all the values in the input column.
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,
Katherine Xiong

Loss of 3G for a few hours and then back to Normal?????

I have a 3GS 16gb phone and this morning, it lost 3G for about 3 hours or so...I called AT&T tech support and they could not do much and thought it may be a SIM card issue.
Amazingly, before i could visit the AT&T store, things went back to normal and 3G service popped up again....
Here's the question: has anyone else experienced such a thing, plus i use a magnetic clasp hip case, in which i carry my phone. Would using such a magnetic case be the cause of this loss of 3G...
Thanks for the help

This has happened to many people, and it's possible it was a software bug on the iPhone, or that AT&T's 3G network was bogged down and there was a lot of traffic. In all honesty, if it doesn't happen to you all the time don't worry about it.
Anything that is covering up the back of the iPhone is going to lower the signal strength a little bit on the iPhone. I personally wouldn't be using a magnetic case around any electronic device, but that's just me.

Loss of download speed using airport extreme and express.

I have Wifi using an Airport extreme base station and an airport express extender. However, the download speed drops from 21 Mbps to 8 Mbps. Any suggestions to boost the express other than an ethernet connection which would be difficult.

Temporarily, power down the AirPort Express and take speed measurement at that exact location.
Whatever that is.....likely in the 8-10 Mpbs range......is what the Express will try to "extend".
In other words, the Express can only extend the bandwidth or speed that it receives. It cannot make the connection that it receives go any faster. In that regard, the term "repeater" is probably a more accurate description of what the Express is trying to accomplish.
If you want the Express to extend faster speeds, then it must be located closer to the AirPort Extreme. In addition, anything that you can do to reduce any obstructions in the signal path between the AirPorts will help.
Ideally, you want a line-of-sight relationship between the AirPorts to help reduce the amount of speed loss that occurs with any wireless connection.

Sudden loss of link after "getting" file from server

I have used the "get" feature to modify one of my files from my site. While I was saving my changes, I noticed that I had lost all the page's styles -- no style, no background, only html structures! I've tried to repeat the "get" feature to replace the effected page, but instead of replacing the unstyled page, there was no change. The unstyled page remained unstyled. I was able to use the "get" feature to to place the page in question in another folder. My question is, can I just delete the unstyled page and merely upload the very same page that's in a different folder to the server? Any help will be greatly appreciated. I might add that I'm still very much a novice in web design, learning every day.

Hi there,
Since I upgraded to 10.6.5, I sometimes suffer very weird partial losses of connectivity after waking up from sleep. I am wondering if other people have witnessed the same thing.
When this happens (and it doesn't happen every time), HTTP still works, but:
- HTTPS doesn't work anymore,
- Mail is unable to retrieve emails (neither with MobileMe using SSL on port 993, nor with my university IMAP server also with SSL on port 993)
- Adium X (IM client) is unable to connect to any IM server (including MobileMe, GTalk, AIM, Hotmail, and Yahoo!)
Worth mentioning: I am using Privoxy as a local HTTP proxy.
I looked at the logs in the Console, and I haven't seen any suspicious messages. In the Network pane of the System Preferences, everything looks normal.
When I unplug the ethernet cable and immediately plug it back in, everything goes back to normal.
Any ideas?... What do you suggest I should check, next time it happens, to narrow down the source of the problem?
Hello!
Same problem with me but i´m not using the mentioned tool (privoxy) at all. No connection with imap, ichat and some google calendars in ical. Web browsing works without problem. I assume that this happened after upgrading to 10.6.5. One thing to mention: i am using accounts with low privileges, same with you, Allamistakeo?

PCI-e Graphics in Advanced Dock isn't worth the loss of the Undock Button !!

Greetings,
After using ATI Radeon X1300 in the advanced Dock with my W500 (4061-38U) for over a year, I'm in clear position to conclude, it isn't worth it. Here are the reasons why you should not have this setup :
- the complete loss of one of the TOP features of using a Docking Station : the possibility of fast dock/undock the system without restart.
- the use of PCI-e 1X is rubbish performance.
- the native 1900x1200 resolution of the 4061-38U , which is very frustrating to read. So this screen ends up not being used at all.
- the possibility to connect 2 screens : 1 using DVI, the other using VGA with very little quality loss depending on the screen, cable and resolution.
- the docking station operating in high fan noise (though I had this worked)
- eventually the dock becomes unstable due to power and heat issues
- the waist of time, thinking on how to continue being stubborn and approaching different setups to improve performance in thee issue :
->Lenovo USB DVI box, (Slow performance, USB Bandwidth consumer. CPU Consumer)
-> Other USB DVI products ( same issues)
-> Matrox Dual/triple Display (likely to be of slow performance, PCMCIA card is not part of the Laptop Docking procedure, don't know if it requires restart, overpriced in my point of view)
- lastly and not less important , the waist of space: it is possible to operate the laptop lid closed, and so arrange one of the LCD's to be over the Dock, VESA table mounted.
So as of yesterday, I got back to this simpler yet more efficient setup : W500 + Advanced Dock + 1 Viewsonic 22" LCD operating in landscape mode + 1 Viewsonic 22" LCD operating in portrait mode + backup disk in dock's UltraBay + external USB mouse and keyboard.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi ppl
After more than a year and i still maintain the same setup: mentioned in this topic. It's been performing very well, graphics wise.
Overall the W500 is a great laptop. It's been updated with a 256GB Samsung 830 SSD and nothing more.
4GB 32bitW7
All the best for You people

Any noticable signal loss with the DVI-to-video adapter?

Hi, there. Would any of you happen to know whether there's an appreciable signal loss when converting from DVI to, say, composite video via the DVI-to-video adapter? I'd like to hook my MBP up to an HDTV (when I eventually get one), and I'm wondering if going through the adapter would produce a degraded picture for DVDs, compared to a direct digital connection from a DVD player to the TV.
Actually, I'm wondering the same thing about the audio connection. Any loss in audio quality when using an adapter to connect the MBP's mini-jack to an HDTV or receiver?
Thanks much.

ragamoffyn,
While there's no "signal loss," as such, there is a considerable loss in signal quality. However, you're over-thinking this...
HDTVs accept HDMI connections, and your Macbook Pro has a DVI output. The ports are dissimilar, but digital video signal is the same. In other words, you would simply use a DVI-to-HDMI cable. In fact, many HD cable boxes (mine included) still have a DVI port, not an HDMI port. There is no loss of signal or quality.
Really, the only difference between DVI and HDMI is the fact that HDMI transmits both video and digital audio. DVI doesn't do this, so you must resort to transmitting audio separately. Not a problem: use an optical digital cable, which your Macbook Pro will accept (as will most HDTVs). That said, you might be better off connecting the audio portion of your MBP's output to a home entertainment (surround sound??) receiver.
Now, I'm not sure about the "progressive scan" capabilities of the Macbook Pro and DVD Player. You'll have to research that yourself. I can tell you that normal DVDs can be "upconverted" by a progressive scan set-top DVD player, and the result looks absolutely stunning on an HDTV. It's not quite as good as full HD, but it comes pretty close. Also, many newer units are being made with HDMI ports. In other words, the DVD is upconverted, and the result is transmitted over a full HD connection. Best of all, these set-top boxes can be had for under $100.
BTW, the composite video you suggest is simply "standard definition," and not the best SD at that (S-Video is better). Component video (where there are three separate "RCA"-type connectors) is much, much better, but even that doesn't match digital (DVI or HDMI). Also, the DVI-to-HDMI cable you will need can be had at Walmart for around $30. They can also be found at places like Best Buy or CompUSA, but these retailers tend to over-charge for over-blown items (No one needs a "Monster" HDMI cable that costs over $100, and which does no more than the $30 cable from Walmart; digital is digital).
