64-bit AnyConnect back to 3005?

Has anyone successfully used the new AnyConnect client to connect back to a 3005 series VPN Concentrator?
We have Vista 64-bit clients who need to connect to our pre-existing VPN networks, both a 3030 and 3005 concentrator. This is for the medical field, of course at a community hospital where just replacing the concentrator is not an option at this point...
Anyone successful at doing this yet?

64-bit anyconnect on linux - problems with libraries

Hi,
we in the process of setting up Cisco Anyconenct for Linux 64-bit machines and are noticing some problems which seams to be related to the client not finding all libraries it expects. For example we got the issue that when connecting for the first time(no profile, ie no <ServerCertificateThumbprint>) the client find the Server Certificate no valid(which it is). We found out that the reson for that beeing Anyconnect was not properly using the nss-certstore for all operations. That was because the client cold not locate libnssckbi.so which was solved by:
ln -s /usr/lib64/libnssckbi.so /home/user/.mozilla/firefox/smhi.default/libnssckbi.so
Is there any other common librarie problems we should be aware of?
We are running Redhat 6 desktop.
Best regards
/Mattias

Hi,
I will reply on my own posting.
Other lib we have found it nessecary to link is:
ln -s /opt/cisco/anyconnect/lib/libcurl.so.3 /opt/cisco/anyconnect/lib/libcurl.so
Also, if running a 32-bit Anyconnect client on a 64-bit OS (which currently would be nessecary if you would like to run host-scan/securedesktop/posture) is:
Create /usr/local/firefox with links
     [a001375@c14446 firefox]$ ls -la

I can also share that I recieved an e-mail the other day from a nice fellow that would let us know they had produced a .SPEC-file for buliding AnyConnect RPMs.
Very usefull, thanks a lot Philip.

Windows 8.1 64-Bit AnyConnect Crash

Running Windows 8.1 (64-bit) with AnyConnect version 3.1.05170
I can connect without issue, but after an indeterminate amount of time and seemingly unrelated to whatever task I'm working on, the system crashes. BSOD with the little sad face.
I've seen at least one other post regarding this issue but, for some reason, when I tried to reply there, the UI didn't let me enter any text. Just prompted for a file upload.
Is there a fix for this issue available?
Thanks.
J

I have the same configuration and problem even with 3.1.06073 (latest). My VPNwill connect and start and then hang. If I look at the statistics I'll see Bytes being sent but the Received count will stop at 19880 bytes. I have been able to work around this sometimes by re-installing but that doesn't always work. Usually I just have to keep trying, uninstalling, re-installing and eventually it'll start working. This is very frustrating.

64 bit Outlook back to 32 bit

I installed the 64 bit Outlook, used for 8 months, need to uninstall and install the 32 bit version because of compatibility issues with some add in products. Will the 32 bit version be able to access and use the pst file from the 64 bit version or
do I need to export and then import?

Hi,
Yes, we need to export the pst file first. If you do not clear how to manage .pst file, please read the following article before remove Office.
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=287070
Then, we could completely remove Office 64bit, restart the Computer and install 32 bit version of Office.

Warning: Don't install Windows 7 64-bit on Older MacBook Pros

I totally hosed my machine by installing Windows 7 64 bit on a MacBook Pro that Apple has not deemed to be okay with running Snow Leopard in 64-bit. I have a Core 2 Due, which is fully 64-bit. Windows 7 64-bit runs perfectly on a MacBook Pro, but Apple's Snow Leopard can only handle 32-bits. Crazy.
I'm guessing Windows 7 updated the MacBook Pro's EFI to 64 bit, which since my Firmware hasn't been updated, can't recognize or load. Some I'm stuck.
Does anyone know how to return a 64 bit efi back to its original 32 bit version? I've been forced to reinstall Snow Leopard, hopefully the Disk Image I created will be able to bring back my data, otherwise I'm screwed and really ******.

I don't think Windows 7 would normally modify your Guid Partition Table, but Boot Camp
(particularly the later versions) is rapidly gaining a nasty reputation for hosing partition maps.
Test Disk might could help:
http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk
You will need to boot it in firewire mode (if supported) or from an external clone.
I hope your disk image is good. Rule of thumb for OS Disk Images:
Make them sparseimage or sparsebundle, do not compress, and last but not least;
Make 2 of them. Just some friendly advice.
I have yet to see anyone repair a defective, compressed, UDIF disk image. I have
successfully repaired sparse UDSP/UDSB images using either disk utility and/or Disk Warrior
and/or iPartition or some combination of the three.
I'm not against disk images, to the contrary, I use them almost exclusively for backup lately.
I mount them, then place a clone or data on them using Carbon Copy Cloner or Chronosync.
Of course I only use UDSP/UDSB uncompressed images.

64 bit mode and some questions

Happy New Year all,
Just once I'd like to start up in 64 bit mode. I've tried to do it several times without success and I don't know what the problem is. Hardware, software?
I'm running two 10.6.2 systems, one on 1 SSD 3 drive Raid 0 array, one on another. Both internal and I used SoftRaid to set both up.
Each time I try, I get the gray screen with Apple logo and the spinning wheel. After a time I get the circle with a bar through it and have to use the power button to shut down. When I tried it last time on one array, the above happened and both arrays unmounted. I could only get my disks mounted by booting from a clone and both systems, the 32 and 64 bit, did not show in the Startup Disk Pref Pane. Both systems showed up when I pressed the Option key at start up but I couldn't start up from either.
I should have remembered to press the 3 and 2 keys to get access to those drives again but a PRAM reset got my 32 bit system back again. From there with a little research I saw mention of the 3 and 2 keys again, tried it on the 64 bit system and got it to boot in 32 bit.
Long story short though I don't know why I can't at least boot into 64 bit mode. Could it have something to do with the SSDs? Could it have something to do with SoftRaid? Why would both arrays dismount when only one should be affected?
Is it a common issue for many 64 bit compatible Macs to not be able to start up in 64 bit mode for any one of a variety of reasons? I should say that neither of my systems can start up that way.
Thanks, any insight is appreciated.

Talk to Mark and look for any notes on SoftRAID and 64-bit mode;
Try installing Mac OS only to one of your SSDs (break the array).
Just a nice small clean Apple ONLY OS.
"6" + "4" ought to get you into 64-bit kernal mode.
Any PCIe card/driver you have to be concerned with?
==================
SoftRAID 3.6.8 is compatible with Snow Leopard in 32 bit mode. You will be asked to replace the newer version of the SoftRAID driver that is bundled with Snow Leopard, with the 3.6.8 driver.
+A newer, *64 bit version of the SoftRAID driver* is included with Snow Leopard for users in 64 bit mode,+ which will allow you to keep existing volumes and access data from the 64 bit version of Snow Leopard. Currently, only the X-Serve boots into 64 bit mode by default. *SoftRAID 3.6.8 will not work in 64 bit mode.*
SoftRAID 4.0 is coming soon!
SoftRAID version 4 will be a full 64 bit Snow Leopard compatible version. We don't have a firm shipping date, but will try to have a "customer beta" in a few weeks for those who want to beta test SoftRAID 4.0.
The SoftRAID 4.0 official release will probably be in October. Upgrades will cost $69, except for 2009 purchasers, who will get it free.

Query goes from 3.5 min to 150 min after switch to 64 bit

I had Oracle 10.1.0.3.0 (32 bit) on Linux running a simple query, once per weekday, accessing tables in DB2 v8 on AIX M/F via Oracle Transparent Gateway (OTG) 9.2. The query took ~ 3.5 minutes to complete.
We have moved to Oracle 10.2.0.1.0 (64 bit) on 64 bit Linux. Now the same query takes ~ 150 min to complete. There are no errors or message I can find that tell me something is wrong. We fired the older 32 bit box back up and ran the query. It completed in 3 min 24 sec.
I suspect a compatibility issue between 64 bit Oracle and the older OTG but I don't even know where to start to look for that. Anyone have a suggestion or a similar tale of woe?

Thanks for the tip. I did get to the explain plans for both of these machines and while the order of execution was slightly different on each machine, I did not see where the CPU cost was different or where things were hanging up. I have included the reports for your perusal. The report for each box begins with the machine name, DT09FU04, DT09FU02 respectively:

32 bit HDR - black pixel speckling when Remove Ghosts checked

Hi,
I'm using LR4.4, PS CS5 12.0.4, OS X 10.6.8. I'm able to view the 32 bit TIF back in LR, but when I zoom in to 2:1, I can see obvious speckling of mostly black pixels in various dark parts of the image. This only happens when I have Remove Ghosts checked. I actually had just thought of doing a test without it checked to confirm my suspicion, and I was right. Unfortunately I need it checked for some of the images with motion.

Thanks,

Here's a very noticeable example. Others are less apparent.
http://www.johnmaclean.com/32bit_black1.png
And I'm getting these dialogs, which I don't think have any relevance.

I am having a similar problem with Merge to HDR from Lightroom 4 to CS6.
First of all, here is the dark exposure processed entirely in Lightroom. As you can see there is good shadow detail and no blown highlights:
I
Now here is the image using the darkest and lightest (of 3 exposures) manually blended. Here the shadow detail is naturally better (although it isn't obvious on the small image shown here):
Now here is the image from HDR Pro with remove ghosts on the darkest of the 3 images. As you can see there is very bad (practically no) shadow detail (look at the hillside on the left):
Here is the HDR Pro with remove ghosts on the middle of the 3 images. As you can see the clouds are badly blown/posterised:
And here is the HDR Pro with remove ghosts on the most over-exposed image. As you can see the sky is completely messed up:
Essentially unusable for this sort of image. Hope this gets fixed soon!!

Lots of 16 bit Tiffs & no idea how to delete

Hi,
I'm really new to photo editing & Mac's, but by following various sources of advice from the net, I think I've created myself a big problem - please advise!
I use Aperture 2.0 for my library & most of my editing of Raw files, but to interpolate these images, I "Edit With" Photoshop CS3. I have the default Edit With set to 16 Bit Tiff, which instantly creates a big TIFF file along with the Raw Master. I then interpolate in Photoshop & reimport an 8 Bit JPEG back into Aperture [I'm sure this is a really poor workflow, but I'm struggling with all this techy side to Photography & I know no-one with a Mac).
The problem, as I'm sure you can guess, is that I have lots (& lots) of unnecessary TIFF files in Aperture that I can't delete without deleting the RAW too.
I use CS3 for interpolation because this is a system that works for my needs (plus I know Photoshop from my pc past-life).
Can you advise of a better workflow that can get 16 Bit Tiffs from Aperture into Photoshop that allows me to delete it whilst keeping the RAW master? Any suggestions for a better workflow really, really appreciated.
Cheers!

Many people believe there are too much info - both correct and incorrect - out there. Filtering what you need can be difficult at times, especially if one is learning new material.

Not sure why you do this. The default external editor is set to PS, and you are creating 16bit tif files - just fine. The odd thing is what you do after your edit in PS. When you say interpolate, I'm guessing that you are resizing the image? Going from 16bit to 8bit is not interpolation. Rather, it is data reduction in the file. By definition, jpeg is 8bit so I understand why you want to convert 16bit tif into 8 bit.
If you simply save your edit without doing save as, then the edited tif will go back to Aperture as tif file. You can export jpeg from Aperture to suit your needs.
Two different approaches exist to do what you want to do. Since you ultimately end up in jpeg, you can simply export jpeg from Aperture and open the file using PS, do your thing and save, then import jpeg into Ap and stack with raw. Sounds close to what you are doing now.
A different approach is to set your externally edited file preference to 8bit tif and use PS as an external editor and do your edits there (do not convert to jpeg and use save as), and simply save - which will bring you back to Ap environment. Images will already be stacked and all you have to do is export the edited 8 bit tif file as jpeg. Files will be stacked an need not worry where the file is.
The problem, as I'm sure you can guess, is that I have lots (& lots) of unnecessary TIFF files in Aperture that I can't delete without deleting the RAW too.
Depends. If you use referenced master files, then the newly created tif file will be saved in the same location is the master file is located. In which case, if you have no need for it, you can simply delete it from Ap and will get rid of the tif file also (as long as you unstack and check the box that say move the file to trash). Raw original will still be in Ap database as well as in your referenced folder.
If you use managed masters, then bit more complicated but using the same method should work. You can see how the files are kept within Ap Lib by showing content and dig your way into the folder structure, if you're willing.
I was going to suggest you can simply just delete the tif files, if referenced, but it would leave broken links in Ap, so bad practice...

You have constrained the problem by specifying 16bit tif and delete, as your current workflow dictates. Try thinking about the workflow from the perspective of what you'd like to get done. Not necessarily how.
If the objective is to have high quality jpeg from your raw and keep your raw files and jpeg related, then tif is just a intermediary file. Recall that jpeg is 8 bit by definition and the reason people don't like to edit using jpeg is because of truncation issue with compression, everytime you do something with jpeg. Tif does not compress so there is no loss issue with tif.
If you go from Aperture handled raw to tif (8bit), then edit using PS and save, you have made 1 translation from raw definition (12 or 14 bit in most cases) to 8 bit tif. Editing and saving tif will not degrade your image (there is a loss of IQ, if you up scale resolution, as data needs to be interpolated to fill in the missing data). Once back in Ap, saving as jpeg is simply format change.
If your objective is to enlarge the image beyond the raw size, then use 16 bit tif and interpolate to upscale in PS. That said, unless you have a small raw file (4~6mp) and are printing large images (say beyond 12x18), there really is no need to do so. Upscaling becomes quite noticeable beyond 25% past the original size, even using 16 bit data set.
This long winded response is really the short version Others will have different opinion so keep in mind that this is yet just another info on the web..
Good luck,
Cheers

Bit operations, base64

I have 4 bytes with 6 significant bits (base64) which should be concatenated into 3 bytes, moved to the left.
Im just wondering if this is right, or maybe if theres some better solution:
oldbyte1 << 2;
tempbyte2 = oldbyte2;
tempbyte2 >> 4;
newbyte1 = oldbyte1 | tempbyte2;
oldbyte2 << 4;
tempbyte3 = oldbyte3;
tempbyte3 >> 2;
newbyte2 = oldbyte2 | tempbyte3;
oldbyte3 << 6;
newbyte3 = oldbyte3 | oldbyte4;Stig.

Studenik:
This is part of a decoding algorithm for Base-64 encoded content (RFC 1421). This encoding technique allows a binary file or message to be transmitted through applications or protocols that traditionally only work with human-readable data, such as News or Mail.
Each group of 3 8-bit byte values, 24 bits, are split into a group of 4 6-bit values. Each of these values (0-63) is then mapped to a printable ASCII character [A-Z,a-z,0-9,+,/]. The process is reversed to recover the original binary values.
Slackman:
Except for a few syntax errors, it looks "right". You need to turn those bit shift operators into bit-shift assignments, and the results of your bitwise OR needs to be cast back to byte (the OR implicitly promotes both values to ints): tempbyte3 >>= 2;
newbyte2 = (byte)(oldbyte2 | tempbyte3);
oldbyte3 <<= 6; I typically have used an algorithm that first recombines the 6-bit values back into a 24-bit int and then splits them back into 8-bit values. I found that it works well when I'm passing the byte values into a method by array and want to avoid modifying the values:     /**
     * decodes a group of 4 base-64 digital values, stored as
     * individual bytes, into 3 base-256 digital values.
     * @param src       input bytes
     * @param srcOffset index of the first byte to decode in src
     * @param dst       output bytes
     * @param dstOffset where in dst to start writing bytes to
     * @return the 3 output bytes rendered as a single int
    static public int decodeBase64(byte[] src, int srcOffset, byte[] dst, int dstOffset) {
        int retval ;
        int register = src[srcOffset] ;
        int i ;
        for (i=1; i<4; i++) {
            register = (register << 6) | src[srcOffset + i] ;
        retval = register ;
        for (i=2; i >= 0; i--) {
            dst[dstOffset + i] = (byte)register ;
            register >>>= 8 ;
        return retval ;
    }I've found that your algorithm works well with individual bytes.

Hp pavilion dv6500 upgrade to windows 8 64 bits

hi guys i have an hp pavilion dv6500 laptop with 64 bit processor and i want to upgrade it to windows 8 64 bit but during the installation am asked to select file or insert cd containing the drivers before proceeding with the installation. can anyone help me with a link to download these particular drivers please.....

Have you run the Windows 8 compatibility checker?
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/upgrade-from-windows-vista-xp-tutorial
Open the Device Manager and see which devices are installed. That is important and will save a lot of time. Verify the wireless and wired network interface devices. Otherwise we will have to find out what they are the more difficult way.
You can install and run CPU-z to find out which chipset and graphics device is installed. Use the tabs. Once we know those, then finding the drivers is a possibility. The notebook may be a bit far back in generations for Windows 8, but Windows 8,1 does have a large builtin driverstore so it is a possibility.

Can I tweak the bit rate for iPod video?

I am starting to produce quite a bit of iPod video for podcasting. Some of our newer pieces are up to 2 hours long and I want to cut the bit rate back so that the files aren't so large. There does not seem to be a way to tweak the m4v parameters in Final Cut Pro or Quicktime Pro. I was able to make an mp4 video file with what a I wanted. It worked in iTunes but the iPod would not recognize it. Is there anyway to tweak the bitrate when making a video for iPod?

Is there anyway to tweak the bitrate when making a video for iPod?To exercise the greatest amount of control, use MPEG Streamclip (free). The MPEG-4 iPod presets can be user modified to limit data rates as desired.
I was able to make an mp4 video file with what a I wanted. It worked in iTunes but the iPod would not recognize it.The "Movie to MPEG-4" exports are limited to the 320 x 240 "Baseline" profile (up to v1.3).
There does not seem to be a way to tweak the m4v parameters in Final Cut Pro or Quicktime Pro.The "Movie to iPod" export is adaptively pre-set for maximum "LC" (640 x 480) and "Baseline" (320 x 240) data rates. There are no manual adjustments.

HT1209 Backing up messages from iphone

How do I backup & restore ALL of my messages from my iPhone & then Restore them to another Phone

kcirred wrote:
Pls pardon my ignorance but I did a search on Google and got many difference opinions. I am using an iMac and intend to get the iPhone HD once its out. I've never used an iPhone before. I heard rumours that one can only backup settings on iPhone not SMS, applications and contacts.
This is what is in an iPhone backup - nobody knows what the next version will do or if it will ever be released as its not out. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
One website I visited claims that everything gets backed up when you sync your iPhone to iMac using iTunes.
The process involves iTunes certainly and some bits are backed up yes
Another website claims that only settings are backed up not SMS hence the need to use Tansee and the like.
No idea what Tansee is but its not needed - see the above article from Apple.
Yet another site says contacts can only be backed up via Mac OS's address book not iTunes.
Yes and No - contacts are normally synced from another application such as Contacts to the device but the above article shows they are backed up.
I am now major confused and would appreciate confirmation from folks who own an iPhone and have tried backing up their iPhone by synching to their Macs via iTunes. Are you or are you not able to back up your SMS, contacts and iPhone apps?
Yes you can and do.

Fuzzy Picture on 10-bit Conform

I was conforming a project in a 10-bit Uncompressed sequence. When re-digitizing the 10-bit footage back off of digibeta, it produced fuzzyness in the graphics like the fields were screwed up. It's set to lower dominance fields, but I tried to fix it by switching the field dominance to "none" in the settings. It looks crisp when doing this, but when it plays, it gets some strange stuff going on in playback.
Anyone know what could be the problem? I made sure I force rendered the sequence and everything. When I tried to freeze frame the animated graphics and put it in the timeline just to see what happened, it looked crisp, but of course I need the whole animated clip to play.
Very frustrated as to what's happening. Thanks in advance.
Eddie

I have the same Problem.
When i open the ATI Testfile RAMP.PSD i see that it is in 10Bit but when i zoom in or even move the mouse over the image, the 8bit Banding gets visible. Very strange. My system uses newest ATI Drivers.
Tried everything from resetting the Drivers (FirePro 4800) and playing around in the Photoshop OpenGL Settings.
The Windows 7 Aero design gets put off by the ATI Driver itself when you enable the 10 Bit in the Driver-menu.
Did anyone else notice this? 10 Bit works for my Eizo+FirePro but that strange behavior when you move the mouse around or zoom or brush isnt normal at all.
Btw. If i can test something i have the time to test anything about about 10bit in Photoshop CS5

64-bit AnyConnect back to 3005?
