32 bit emulation? What's that? Can be obtained using Arch x86_64? How?
Thanks

Do you have the 32bit libs installed from the community repo?

I keep getting message "This page requires a plugin that can only run in 32 bit mode" what does this mean and how can I fix it? It seems to come up randomly, but I'm fairly ignorant.

Previous versions of Firefox were only 32 bit, Firefox 4 for the Mac contains 32 and 64 bit versions. If you want to always start Firefox in 32 bit mode, open up Finder and go to the Applications folder. Control-click the Firefox app and click "Get Info", then select the "Open in 32-bit mode" option.

32-bit emulation in ArchLinux?

According to the "Vordiplom, 64 Bits and Beryl" section at http://lhyanor.org/ Arch64 doesn't support 32-bit emulation.
I believe, however, this may be old news. If this is the case, where is 32-bit emulation in Arch? As an example, I just recently installed the 32-bit version of Wine, but it outputs this:
[root@archlinux extra]# winecfg

I tried to install the i686 (32-bit) version of libxxf86vm package, but it indicates it's already installed. Here is the output:

error: failed to add target 'libxxf86vm-1.0.1-1.pkg.tar.gz' (package already installed)loading package data...
Note: I should add that the 64-bit version of libxxf86vm*.pkg.tar.gz is already installed (and others it needed).

Hi,
the news post is right. More or less. Official we are not supporting 32bit emulation, but you can find the lib32 packages in [community]-repo. Here is the wiki entry: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Usi … _on_Arch64
Don't mix your arch64 with the official arch32-bit repository. Use the lib32-packages from community. For further infos look at the wiki page.

It worked. That's what did it! I simply installed the dependencies at http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?d … s=0&SeB=nd. I was missing a few of the dependencies listed there. I actually found these before looking at your post, too. I didn't realize to look at what I already had installed and just installed the missing files. Now at least wine works. Thanks for the info, nonetheless.

If I have converted my purchased iTunes songs to a lower bit rate what will happen when I join iTunes match? Will they match up or will these be stored as duplicates of the same song?

I ask because I primarily use my work laptop which has limited space so I usually convert my purchases to 160k from 256k in order to save space. I want to sign up for iTunes Match but I'd like to know before I do so I can understand how I will have to set up my library.

What I may do is start a brand new library there, copy my tracks from my work laptop using Home Share and then the script to get things in sync before starting over again there too.
Why create a new library? Just add the tracks from the laptop to the existing library on the Mac.

How do you mean? If you down-convert purchased tracks you've fundamentally changed the files so iTunes can no longer recoginize them as "purchased." And, indeed, they no longer are since they are brand new files. Of course these new files will only be "matched" or "uploaded."

What is the ipod 4 new model, I mean look at the walmart site, it says (new model) what does that mean?

what is the ipod 4 new model, I mean look at the walmart site, it says (new model) what does that mean? Look at this link : http://www.walmart.ca/canada-estore/search/searchcontainer.jsp?_DARGS=/canada-es tore/search/fragments/cataloghierarchy.jsp I dont understand, what was the old model?

The 16gb iPod 4 is a new model! Previously, the iPod Touch 4G came in 8gb, 32gb and 64gb versions. Apple has stopped shipping those versions and has replaced it with the 16gb iPod 4. While this is technically the "newest" model (by a day or so), it is not the most technically advanced. As others have pointed out that it the iPod Touch 5g (32gb and 64gb versions). So Walmart is not "outdated" or "incorrect", but perhaps a bit deceptive.

Color Space and Bit Depth - What Makes Sense?

I'm constantly confused about which color space and bit depth to choose for various things.
Examples:
- Does it make any sense to choose sRGB and 16-bits? (I thought sRGB was 8-bit by nature, no?)
- Likewise for AdobeRGB - are the upper 8-bits empty if you use 16-bits?
- What is the relationship between Nikon AdobeWide RGB, and AdobeRGB? - if a software supports one, will it support the other?
- ProPhoto/8-bits - is there ever a reason?...
I could go on, but I think you get the idea...
Any help?
Rob

So, it does not really make sense to use ProPhoto/8 for output (or for anything else I guess(?)), even if its supported, since it is optimized for an extended gamut, and if your output device does not encompass the gamut, then you've lost something since your bits will be spread thinner in the "most important" colors.
Correct, you do not want to do prophotoRGB 8bit anything. It is very easy to get posterization with it. Coincidentally, if you print from Lightroom and let the driver manage and do not check 16-bit output, Lightroom outputs prophotoRGB 8bits to the driver. This is rather annoying as it is very easy to get posterizaed prints this way.
It seems that AdobeRGB has been optimized more for "important" colors and so if you have to scrunch down into an 8-bit jpeg, then its the best choice if supported - same would hold true for an 8-bit tif I would think (?)
Correct on both counts. If there is color management and you go 8 bits adobeRGB is a good choice. This is only really true for print targets though as adobeRGB encompasses more of a typical CMYK gamut than sRGB. For display targets such as the web you will be better off always using sRGB as 99% of displays are closer to that and so you don't gain anything. Also, 80% of web browsers is still not color managed.
On a theoretical note: I still don't understand why if image data is 12 or 14 bits and the image format uses 16 bits, why there has to be a boundary drawn around the gamut representation. But for practical purposes, maybe it doesn't really matter.
Do realitze hat the original image in 12 to 14 bits is in linear gamma as that is how the sensor reacts to light. However formats for display are always gamma corrected for efficiency, because the human eye reacts non-linearly to light and because typical displays have a gamma powerlaw response of brightness/darkness. Lightroom internally uses a 16-bit linear space. This is more bits than the 12 or 14 bits simply to avoid aliasing errors and other numeric errors. Similarly the working space is chosen larger than the gamut cameras can capture in order to have some overhead that allows for flexibility and avoids blowing out in intermediary stages of the processing pipeline. You have to choose something and so prophotoRGB, one of the widest RGB spaces out there is used. This is explained quite well here.
- Is there any reason not to standardize 8-bit tif or jpg files on AdobeRGB and leave sRGB for the rare cases when legacy support is more important than color integrity?
Actually legacy issues are rampant. Even now, color management is very spotty, even in shops oriented towards professionals. Also, arguably the largest destination for digital file output, the web, is almost not color managed. sRGB remains king unfortunately. It could be so much better if everybody used Safari or Firefox, but that clearly is not the case yet.
- And standardize 16 bit formats on the widest gamut supported by whatever you're doing with it? - ProPhoto for editing, and maybe whatever gamut is recommended by other software or hardware vendors for special purposes...
Yes, if you go 16 bits, there is no point not doing prophotoRGB.
Personally, all my web photos are presented through Flash, which supports AdobeRGB even if the browser proper does not. So I don't have legacy browsers to worry about myself.
Flash only supports non-sRGB images if you have enabled it yourself. NONE of the included flash templates in Lightroom for example enable it.
that IE was the last browser to be upgraded for colorspace support (ie9)
AFAIK (I don't do windows, so I have not tested IE9 myself), IE 9 still is not color managed. The only thing it does is when it encounters a jpeg with a ICC profile different than sRGB is translate it to sRGB and send that to the monitor without using the monitor profile. That is not color management at all. It is rather useless and completely contrary to what Microsoft themselves said many years ago well behaved browsers should do. It is also contrary to all of Windows 7 included utilities for image display. Really weird! Wide gamut displays are becoming more and more prevalent and this is backwards. Even if IE9 does this halfassed color transform, you can still not standardize on adobeRGB as it will take years for IE versions to really switch over. Many people still use IE6 and only recently has my website's access switched over to mostly IE8. Don't hold your breath for this.
Amazingly, in 2010, the only correctly color managed browser on windows is still Safari as Firefox doesn't support v4 icc monitor profiles and IE9 doesn't color manage at all except for translating between spaces to sRGB which is not very useful. Chrome can be made to color manage on windows apparently with a command line switch. On Macs the situation is better since Safari, Chrome (only correctly on 10.6) and Firefox (only with v2 ICC monitor profiles) all color manage. However, on mobile platforms, not a single browser color manages!

What is that medium dark blue vertical line doing there?

I went againt my grain and just hit the Return to Last Save in iWeb so now I have my old Welcome page but with no Counter. I adjusted the image a little bit, to improve the look, making sure that there were no blank white spaces at the top or the bottom of the scroll. All appears well. However:
QUESTION: What is that dark blue vertical line on the right edge of and within/inside the window? Sometimes when I was manipulating/moving the pink flower picture, that blue line would blink into view and then blink out. Should I care that that line is there and not sitting on top of the window edge -- that it is inside/within the window edge?
Lorna in Southern California

It sounds like your object is centering with respect
to another object on your page.
Will
Will, that seems odd to me, because all I have is that picture of the pink flower on that page. It is my Welcome page and there are is no nav bar at the top of the page because I deselected it in the Inspector thing.
So if you tell me that the line is centring with respect to another object......
then that is nettlesome because to my mind there is nothing else on the page except that picture which completely covers the page.
Oh wait. There is a skinny rectangular box with text inside: "Welcome to Lorna's Page. Enter" Something like that; I can't remember now because I've changed it several times.

What's that symbol in the Project Library viewer

In the Project Library where I can scroll through all my projects there is a little symbol that looks a bit like the WIFI icon cocked on its side just to the left of the filmstrip preview. It is not next to all my projects and sometimes there is an exclamation mark on top of it. What is that symbol?

The symbol indicates the project has been shared. If it has an exclamation point it means the project has been altered since it was shared.

What is that loud 'tok, tok, tok "sound in my iMac?

What is that loud 'tok, tok, tok "sound in my imac? It will sound when the computer boots, and sometimes when the machine is turned on. Should be sent directly for warranty service?

This could be the internal Hard Drive being a bit loud when it starts up or it could indicate a potential hard drive error.
If you check the S.M.A.R.T status of your drive in Disk Utility it should give some indication (but not always).
If the system works fine it's probably nothing to worry about, but you should probably speak to Apple Tech Support or make an appointment with an Apple Genius at your local Apple Retail Store just to be on the safe side.
If you have an external drive available to you, make a back up of your system (so you don't loose anything) in case the drive does need replaced.

You are on Windows 2000, you do not have a "Firefox" button, and should consider yourself to be fortunate in that you still have menus and don't have to do anything to get the menus back instead of the "Firefox" button. (The same applies to Windows XP users).
Use the "File" menu to get to Import. You are not on Windows 7 or Vista, and don't have to put up with the nonsense added for Aero.
If you want the "Firefox" button you can get it with View -> toolbars -> (uncheck) Menu Bar. The menu bar and the "Firefox" button were supposed to be mutually exclusive (which is impossible in some cases without being incompatible).
Once you are using the "Firefox" button ...
Use the "Alt" key to view the menu bar (temporarily) containing File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, and Help. On Windows 7 and Vista, the menu bar was hidden by default in Firefox 4 and above. These menu items are more or less available under the "Firefox" button which has the most used of the built-in Firefox menu items available in a different format.
To get back to having menus again. "Firefox" button -> Options (second column) -> (check) Menu Bar
You can make '''Firefox 7.0.1''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)].

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The Apple TV should set it's time automatically from the network time server, if it isn't doing this try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for a 30 seconds, if this fails try resetting or restoring it.
