A bit off topic but you have been so brilliant here before!!:))

Trying to get to a quick answer and without going into lots of detail on Network Infrastructure etc etc I am helping a charity and they have just put in a couple of new lasers so .......what might be the reason for an HP Laserjet P1505N (networked) printing a standard MS Word text document as garbage characters (mainly extended ascii)? BUT if the text is formatted to a colour however (I've been using dark red!) it prints correctly.
Graphics (bitmaps) print OK
USB (direct PC to printer connection works fine)
So in other words down the network colour text or graphics is OK but normal black text documents are not.
Any ideas would be very much appreciated, I assume some kind of driver mix up but because of the strange workaround I thought the exact cause might ring some bells with someone (seems like a bit or a byte has lost the plot somewhere along the line (127..256 7,8 bits ascii tables etc etc)). I'm no network expert and I stopped using PC's at home about 7 months ago..........(after 20 years of very educational WAR!!!)
Thanks for any help....rob

Errrr, Rob:

If the configuration you posted is correct, I seriously doubt that anyone here will be able to give you any feedback (we are Apple people, after all).
I suggest you contact HP and ask them the question.

A bit off topic, but what time should I arrive at the Keynote?

I'm posting this in the FCP forum because this is the only one I read. I'm attending Macworld for the first time and I have the cheap tickets for the Keynote (user's conference). I have no idea how early I need to show up to wait in line to guarantee I get into the Keynote.
Thanks and sorry for the off topic post.

Just showing a pick of what I look like...hee.
I will have an exhibitors pass, so I wonder if I can get in any later and still get good seats? HA! I will bring my lappy, to keep me occupied (I hope they have wireless access).
For iChat reports I'd need all your iChat accounts. That would be one BIG group chat.

A Bit Off Topic, But Can the HP Photosmart C3140 Be Shared Over a Network?

I was going to get a MacBook and since I need a new printer, this one looks good since it would be free (after the $100 rebate).
However, I've had trouble sharing HP printers over a network in the past. Would this one give me any problems. Also, if it's connected to a Windows computer, would it make a difference?

Hey Large,
Some printers don't support network printing because of driver issues and what not, but the C3140 should work just fine.
As for your windows question. I have found it easier to print from a mac, over a network to a PC, than the other way around.
Also don't be afraid to call apple tech support when you get your macbook. They will walk you through the networking process and answer any questions you might have. It's free for 90 days so use it.
Good luck

A bit off topic, but not too far

due to the lack of an autodownload for JRE 1.4 I am forced to use another method for installing it. Does anyone know a way to check what JRE version the user has using some sort of web scripting? I've seen examples of how to check within an applet or application - but I don't really want to do that.

It makes sense, because if it existed, it means that it is possible by a web site to spy your system.
What is possible to have some applets running on a page, and a submit button next to where the user can answer the question, if the applet is running properly. E.g. put up an 1.3 applet with some animation and an 1.4 applet with an animation. The let the user hit that submit button where the animation plays properly.
This way the user discloses the information to your site, that's technical possible and ok. Spying is not.
I'm not sure how the latest installers by Sun work, might be some active X based spying installer, which reports the proper config. :-)

Sort of off topic, but same old question looking for a new answer

Ok I'm ready to start a new site. I'm going cheap as it's all coming out of my pocket including hosting. I want to put a video chat room on my site. Is there anyway to capture a webcam in this fashion in director. I've done tons of searching but I can't really find anything. I'm trying to avoid using the flash communication server for three reasons. 1) I already have the director multiuser server that will host up to 1000 users (the room will never be anything close to that big 50 peeps tops) and my web host will support it and install it for me. 2) I can't find anything at a really cheap price. I'm looking at 25 cam users at once... 3) Actionscript is nothing I've every really worked with before, but I could do the lingo programming.
I have a few questions First of all I read something about putting a flash element on the stage, and that the flash player is what captures the webcam. But I assume that it still needs flash communication sever to upload the video. Is this correct?
Is there an xtra that will do what I want?
I read something about encoding the video to realvideo, but I have no clue how as I've never done anything like that before. Will this work and do you know of a tutorial for this?
Do you know of a really really cheap flash comm host?
Really off topic but, I could write the text chat end of it in cold fusion. Is there a known way to easily add the video in this way?
Does anyone know of a cheap off the shelf video chat room that I can put up on my site and just pay for the bandwidth overage that it uses?
Thanks for any help any of you could give me.

There are several 2.4 GHz MacBook pros shipped over several years.
If this is your Mac (2007 model) scroll down to the memory section and read:
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook_pro/stats/macbook-pro-core-2-duo-2 .4-15-santa-rosa-specs.html
Standard RAM:
2 GB
Maximum RAM:
6 GB*
Details:
2 GB installed as two 1 GB modules. No slots free.
*Apple officially supports a maximum of 4 GB of RAM but third-parties have been able to upgrade the system to 6 GB of RAM using one 2 GB and one 4 GB memory module.
Site sponsor Other World Computing sells MacBook Pro memory, as well as hard drives, batteries, carrying cases, and accessories.
... and that sponsor is not a bad place to get RAM at all. They are experts, and back it up with a "money back if it does not work in your Mac" guarantee.

WebAssist Cart help? I know it's off topic but... Could really use some help...

I've got a shopping cart that is working and I'm trying to update the
quantities in inventory by subtracting the quantity ordered from the total
inventory in a table called ITEMS.
I can update a record after a sale in the cart, but right now it is
updating by completely replacing the value of the items in inventory with
the quantity in the checkout cart. So, if there are 800 items, after the
update, there are -1 total in inventory, not 799.
The problem is that I don't know how to coordinate the item(s) in the stored
shopping cart with a call to their ID and quantity in the online database.
Here's what I have so far:

Ahhhhhhhh Jeff... If I can get this going... I spent days looking for this solution. Thank you very much. Just bought Dreamweaver CS3 and am battling through the bells and whistles.

Optical drive on iMac at work, barely one year old, won't read CD's....disc utilities shows disc unavailable! Rarely used and out of warranty, what a rip off!! I have been on MACS since the 80's and things are getting more and more difficult

Optical drive on iMac at work, barely one year old, won't read CD's....disc utilities shows disc unavailable! Rarely used and out of warranty, what a rip off!! I have been on MACS since the 80's and things are getting more and more difficult to deal with. Why did it quit after barely being used? Any help from Apple?

It depends on what you mean by "barely one year old". If the iMac is only a couple of days out of warranty, Apple's been known to make exceptions and extend the warranty, though it's by no means guaranteed. If it's several days or more out of warranty, then Apple will fix it, if it's a hardware problem, but the repair won't be free. This is no different now then it would have been with a Mac purchased back in the 80s.
Why the drive failed, if indeed it has, is impossible to say. Could have been a static shock, a weak component that failed when power was applied, or a mechanical fault in one of the tiny parts used in optical drives and hard drives that finally broke.
Regards.

What does this statement mean: "There is a problem with your authentication, possibly due to inactivity. For your safety, you have been logged out and must sign in again to continue?"

I am able to make it to the site for about 2 seconds and then I am quickly logged off and the statement, "There is a problem with your authentication, possibly due to inactivity. For your safety, you have been logged out and must sign in again to continue."
I don't have a clue as to the problem but since this is impacting my participation in these classes and ultimately could have a negative impact on my grade, I am more than a little concerned!

Can you be a little bit more specific what you mean by "unable to use it"?

I was downloading some songs when I lost my internet connection. There is no sign that these songs reached my iTunes but i have been charged for these songs anyway. What should I do?

It's possible that the message you got was to update the AirPort Express Base Station's (AX) firmware...and that something might have gone wrong during the upgrade.
Let's start by performing a "factory default" reset on the AX to get it back to it's original "out-of-the-box" condition.
Then, let's set it up to work with your cable modem...
AirPort Express Base Station Setup (AX) w/High-Speed Cable Modem
Modem/Router Power ReCycling (optional)
- Power-off the Cable modem, AX, & computer(s). (Wait at least 30 minutes. If possible, leave the modem off overnight.)
- Power-on the Cable modem; Wait at least 30 minutes.
- Power-on the AX; Wait at least 5 minutes.
- Power-on the computer(s)
Setup the AX
With the network components powered down, set up the AX, using the AirPort Admin Utility, either connect to the AX's wireless network or connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, try these settings:
AirPort tab
- Base Station Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
- AirPort Network Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
- Create a closed network (unchecked)
- Wireless Security: Not enabled
- Channel: Automatic
- Mode: 802.11b/g Compatible
Internet tab
- Connect Using: Ethernet
- Configure: Using DHCP
- WAN Ethernet Port: Automatic
Network tab
- Distribute IP addresses (checked)
- Share a single IP address (using DHCP & NAT) (enabled)
Do not, at this point, set up any security (i.e., WEP/WPA encryption, closed network, etc.) to first make sure the AX is operating properly. Try to access the Internet wirelessly with your MacBook. If you're successful, go ahead and add any security features you wish.

How to check if you have been "DDoS"ed on a Home H...

Hello,
After looking through the forums and many other website forums, I am unable to find a solution to my problem.
I am a Semi-Proffessional gamer and it's great but with every high there's a low. A few rotten apples in the basket so to speak. While playing matches for higher and better ladder places you come accross people with two tools.
Cain and abel & a IP flooder.
What does this do and how it effects you:
Well first off, they have your IP address, which can lead them to knowing where you live. Also if the person with your IP address is capable of doing a "DOX" they can find out anything and possible everything you have done on the internet.
Cain and abel is a tool that helps you recover your lost passwords over the internet and other various tools for recovery but, in the wrong hands and it's a very nasty tool.
A IP flooder sends packets of data to your IP address and attacks it in such a way that it knocks you offline, unable to connect to the internet for a set period of time determinde by the IP floodee.
If you have been IP flooded there's not much you can do bar change your IP address and hope they don't get it again or hope the Flooder isn't strong enough to knock you offline.
So, when I play matches someone decides to IP flood me, I go offline and potentionally lose that round. Now you may thing it's only a game but some people earn there living off gaming, wining up to a million dollars in prize money, so think you lose the vital decider round because you get "DoS"ed, ending in you losing potentionally a lot of money.
What my problem is, How do I check to see if I have been DoSed on a BT home hub 3? I've looked on event logs but I don't think it shows up on there.
Many Thanks In Advance,
AJ

You probably can't see the DOS attack on the home hub. If you were using a broadband modem directly connected to your PC, you probably could, with somekind of firewall.
The tricky thing with avoiding DOS attacks is they fake incoming connections that you actually need - so they can't be blocked - or if they're blocked, your services won't work properly. Some routers will automatically stop responding to incoming TCP requests, if they see a flood of them.
In the router configuration, there should be an option to set the router not to respond to pings - or ICMP messages. If someone is attacking you, they may be pinging the router, or pinging something that is letting them know it's you before they commence their attack. The game provider shouldn't be making your address visible to other players. If you think they are, contact the game provider.

Slightly off topic but a query on open type fonts

Hi all
I went to buy the frutiger fonts (9fonts) from adobe. The format is open type which is what I want. B ut when going to buy them I am asked whether I want mac or windows format. I thought open type fonts were cross platform? We have both MACs and PCs, if I want the font on both do I have to buy both formats ?
Link to font:
http://store.adobe.com/type/browser/P/P_1186.jhtml
Thanks for any help, sorry for this being off topic but I couldn't see where else to post.
gerryR

Yes, that's it, pretty much. Also, our download manager needs to know whether you're using Mac or Windows. The *contents* of the purchased file are the same.

HT4009 I didn't receive my in app purchase of extra stars, but I have been charged for it!

Using the Egg vs Chicken app yesterday I tried to purchased a bucket of stars in the app for $15.99, however, the stars didn't appear but I have been charged for them, twice! How do I go about getting a refund or getting the stars?

Does the app have an IAP download option, and/or is there any help on the developer's website ?
If not then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

A bit off topic but you have been so brilliant here before!!:))
