A bunch of old problems and entertaing questions lately

Just finding some of the questions on the Premier Pro board really entertaining... like that 20 year old version of premier. And then questions with old troubles I resolved or worked around... most of which I've forgotten the solutions to like the export to H.264 crash.
Does anyone here keep a log of personal problems which they've resolved? I've tried doing it I still forget to log a good amount. Also, good to see you guys have been so active in assisting everyone still. Jim's been on a roll tonight (4/25).

There must be something missing from my diet as I have a hard time remembering 1/2 of the things I've done.
Not diet, but something called "retirement... "
it's a little irritating when I know I've gone through the situation and can't give any helpful advice on how I got out.
I could not agree more. Whenever the topic of Copy/Paste with Audio going bad comes up, I miss a very long thread, from very long ago, as many of the "top guns" have pithy comments, and several workarounds. That thread, like so many others, all disappeared with one of the forum changeovers. Wish that I had made copies of all the replies, as they were great.
I feel that pain too,

LR 4.4 (and 5.0?) catalog: a problem and some questions

Introductory Remark
After several years of reluctance this March I changed to LR due to its retouching capabilities. Unfortunately – beyond enjoying some really nice features of LR – I keep struggling with several problems, many of which have been covered in this forum. In this thread I describe a problem with a particular LR 4.4 catalog and put some general questions.
A few days ago I upgraded to 5.0. Unfortunately it turned out to produce even slower ’speed’ than 4.4 (discussed – among other places – here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5454410#5454410), so I rather fell back to the latter, instead of testing the behavior of the 5.0 catalog. Anyway, as far as I understand this upgrade does not include significant new catalog functions, so my problem and questions below may be valid for 5.0, too. Nevertheless, the incompatibility of the new and previous catalogs suggests rewriting of the catalog-related parts of the code. I do not know the resulting potential improvements and/or new bugs in 5.0.
For your information, my PC (running under Windows 7) has a 64-bit Intel Core i7-3770K processor, 16GB RAM, 240 GB SSD, as well as fast and large-capacity HDDs. My monitor has a resolution of 1920x1200.
1. Problem with the catalog
To tell you the truth, I do not understand the potential necessity for using the “File / Optimize Catalog” function. In my view LR should keep the catalog optimized without manual intervention.
Nevertheless, when being faced with the ill-famed slowness of LR, I run this module. In addition, I always switch on the “Catalog Settings / General / Back up catalog” function. The actually set frequency of backing up depends on the circumstances – e.g. the number of RAW (in my case: NEF) files, the size of the catalog file (*.lrcat), and the space available on my SSD. In case of need I delete the oldest backup file to make space for the new one.
Recently I processed 1500 photos, occupying 21 GB. The "Catalog Settings / Metadata / Automatically write changes into XMP" function was switched on. Unfortunately I had to fiddle with the images quite a lot, so after processing roughly half of them the catalog file reached the size of 24 GB. Until this stage there had been no sign of any failure – catalog optimizations had run smoothly and backups had been created regularly, as scheduled.
Once, however, towards the end of generating the next backup, LR sent an error message saying that it had not been able to create the backup file, due to lack of enough space on the SSD. I myself found still 40 GB of empty space, so I re-launched the backup process. The result was the same, but this time I saw a mysterious new (journal?) file with a size of 40 GB… When my third attempt also failed, I had to decide what to do.
Since I needed at least the XMP files with the results of my retouching operations, I simply wanted to save these side-cars into the directory of my original input NEF files on a HDD. Before making this step, I intended to check whether all modifications and adjustments had been stored in the XMP files.
Unfortunately I was not aware of the realistic size of side-cars, associated with a certain volume of usage of the Spot Removal, Grad Filter, and Adjustment Brush functions. But as the time of the last modification of the XMP files (belonging to the recently retouched pictures) seemed perfect, I believed that all my actions had been saved. Although the "Automatically write changes into XMP" seemed to be working, in order to be on the safe side I selected all photos and ran the “Metadata / Save Metadata to File” function of the Library module. After this I copied the XMP files, deleted the corrupted catalog, created a new catalog, and imported the same NEF files together with the side-cars.
When checking the photos, I was shocked: Only the first few hundred XMP files retained all my modifications. Roughly 3 weeks of work was completely lost… From that time on I regularly check the XMP files.
Question 1: Have you collected any similar experience?
2. The catalog-related part of my workflow
Unless I miss an important piece of knowledge, LR catalogs store many data that I do not need in the long run. Having the history of recent retouching activities is useful for me only for a short while, so archiving every little step for a long time with a huge amount of accumulated data would be impossible (and useless) on my SSD. In terms of processing what count for me are the resulting XMP files, so in the long run I keep only them and get rid of the catalog.
Out of the 240 GB of my SSD 110 GB is available for LR. Whenever I have new photos to retouch, I make the following steps:
create a ‘temporary’ catalog on my SSD
import the new pictures from my HDD into this temporary catalog
select all imported pictures in the temporary catalog
use the “File / Export as Catalog” function in order to copy the original NEF files onto the SSD and make them used by the ‘real’ (not temporary) new catalog
use the “File / Open Catalog” function to re-launch LR with the new catalog
switch on the "Automatically write changes into XMP" function of the new catalog
delete the ‘temporary’ catalog to save space on the SSD
retouch the pictures (while keeping and eye on due creation and development of the XMP files)
generate the required output (TIF OR JPG) files
copy the XMP and the output files into the original directory of the input NEF files on the HDD
copy the whole catalog for interim archiving onto the HDD
delete the catalog from the SSD
upon making sure that the XMP files are all fine, delete the archived catalog from the HDD, too
Question 2: If we put aside the issue of keeping the catalog for other purposes then saving each and every retouching steps (which I address below), is there any simpler workflow to produce only the XMP files and save space on the SSD? For example, is it possible to create a new catalog on the SSD with copying the input NEF files into its directory and re-launching LR ‘automatically’, in one step?
Question 3: If this I not the case, is there any third-party application that would ease the execution of the relevant parts of this workflow before and/or after the actual retouching of the pictures?
Question 4: Is it possible to set general parameters for new catalogs? In my experience most settings of the new catalogs (at least the ones that are important for me) are copied from the recently used catalog, except the use of the "Catalog Settings / Metadata / Automatically write changes into XMP" function. This means that I always have to go there to switch it on… Not even a question is raised by LR whether I want to change anything in comparison with the settings of the recently used catalog…
3. Catalog functions missing from my workflow
Unfortunately the above described abandoning of catalogs has at least two serious drawbacks:
I miss the classification features (rating, keywords, collections, etc.) Anyway, these functions would be really meaningful for me only if covering all my existing photos that would require going back to 41k images to classify them. In addition, keeping all the pictures in one catalog would result in an extremely large catalog file, almost surely guaranteeing regular failures. Beyond, due to the speed problem tolerable conditions could be established only by keeping the original NEF files on the SSD, which is out of the question. Generating several ‘partial’ catalogs could somewhat circumvent this trap, but it would require presorting the photos (e.g. by capture time or subject) and by doing this I would lose the essence of having a single catalog, covering all my photos.
Question 5: Is it the right assumption that storing only some parts (e.g. the classification-related data) of catalog files is impossible? My understanding is that either I keep the whole catalog file (with the outdated historical data of all my ‘ancient’ actions) or abandon it.
Question 6: If such ‘cherry-picking’ is facilitated after all: Can you suggest any pragmatic description of the potential (competing) ways of categorizing images efficiently, comparing them along the pros and contras?
I also lose the virtual copies. Anyway, I am confused regarding the actual storage of the retouching-related data of virtual copies. In some websites one can find relatively old posts, stating that the XMP file contains all information about modifying/adjusting both the original photo and its virtual copy/copies. However, when fiddling with a virtual copy I cannot see any change in the size of the associated XMP file. In addition, when I copy the original NEF file and its XMP file, rename them, and import these derivative files, only the retouched original image comes up – I cannot see any virtual copy. This suggests that the XMP file does not contain information on the virtual copy/copies…
For this reason whenever multiple versions seem to be reasonable, I create renamed version(s) of the same NEF+XMP files, import them, and make some changes in their settings. I know, this is far not a sophisticated solution…
Question 7: Where and how the settings of virtual copies are stored?
Question 8: Is it possible to generate separate XMP files for both the originally retouched image and its virtual copy/copies and to make them recognized by LR when importing them into a new catalog?

A part of my problems may be caused by selecting LR for a challenging private project, where image retouching activities result in bigger than average volume of adjustment data. Consequently, the catalog file becomes huge and vulnerable.
While I understand that something has gone wrong for you, causing Lightroom to be slow and unstable, I think you are combining many unrelated ideas into a single concept, and winding up with a mistaken idea. Just because you project is challenging does not mean Lightroom is unsuitable. A bigger than average volume of adjustment data will make the catalog larger (I don't know about "huge"), but I doubt bigger by itself will make the catalog "vulnerable".
The causes of instability and crashes may have NOTHING to do with catalog size. Of course, the cause MAY have everything to do with catalog size. I just don't think you are coming to the right conclusion, as in my experience size of catalog and stability issues are unrelated.
2. I may be wrong, but in my experience the size of the RAW file may significantly blow up the amount of retouching-related data.
Your experience is your experience, and my experience is different. I want to state clearly that you can have pretty big RAW files that have different content and not require significant amounts of retouching. It's not the size of the RAW that determines the amount of touchup, it is the content and the eye of the user. Furthermore, item 2 was related to image size, and now you have changed the meaning of number 2 from image size to the amount of retouching required. So, what is your point? Lots of retouching blows up the amount of retouching data that needs to be stored? Yeah, I agree.
When creating the catalog for the 1500 NEF files (21 GB), the starting size of the catalog file was around 1 GB. This must have included all classification-related information (the meaningful part of which was practically nothing, since I had not used rating, classification, or collections). By the time of the crash half of the files had been processed, so the actual retouching-related data (that should have been converted properly into the XMP files) might be only around 500 MB. Consequently, probably 22.5 GB out of the 24 GB of the catalog file contained historical information
I don't know exactly what you do to touch up your photos, I can't imagine how you come up with the size should be around 500MB. But again, to you this problem is entirely caused by the size of the catalog, and I don't think it is. Now, having said that, some of your problem with slowness may indeed be related to the amount of touch-up that you are doing. Lightroom is known to slow down if you do lots of spot removal and lots of brushing, and then you may be better off doing this type of touch-up in Photoshop. Again, just to be 100% clear, the problem is not "size of catalog", the problem is you are doing so many adjustments on a single photo. You could have a catalog that is just as large, (i.e. that has lots more photos with few adjustments) and I would expect it to run a lot faster than what you are experiencing.
So to sum up, you seem to be implying that slowness and catalog instability are the same issue, and I don't buy it. You seem to be implying that slowness and instability are both caused by the size of the catalog, and I don't buy that either.
Re-reading your original post, you are putting the backups on the SSD, the same disk as the working catalog? This is a very poor practice, you need to put your backups on a different physical disk. That alone might help your space issues on the SSD.

Power problems and a question about Zen support respo

I have a Zen Micro 8gb player and unfortunately I can now be added to the list of users with Battery/charging issues. I've tried all the troubleshooting steps I can find here and none resolved my problem. Resetting does not help, nor does charging via USB/AC Adapter, I've tried switching adapters, etc. I've never had this issue before.
The problem started a few days ago when I plugged my Zen in like normal to charge - it was completely dead - and after several few hours of charging, I was still unable to turn my device on. I plug the charger in and the device does recognize it, it powers on and I get the blue light and "Creative" logo on the screen. Then the little battery icon flashes between the green "charging" icon and the red "empty battery" icon. It will go on like this for hours. Normally it would only take an hour or two to charge but now I can leave it charging for an entire day then it goes dead right after I unplug it.
My question is - based on user experience here - whether it's probably my battery or my device that is defecti've. This was a gift and I'm sure it is out of warranty, not that I'd be able to get the receipt even if it was. I've already emailed customer care. I'm just wondering what people's general overall experience has been with support and if it's even worth trying to go through the support channels to get it fixed. Thanks in advance.
Kristal?

I am having the same problems....only I can't even get mine to come on. I have only had this thing for like 5 months.....if I would have known I was gonna have this many problems.... I would have went with another brand. And it would really help if I could get someone to give me a straight answer when I call! I am SOSOSO irritated!!

E71x problem, and a question about 'physical damag...

Hiya,
Soooo I got the E71x in June, and I loved it, until about a month ago, it started frustrating me non stop.
The phone will tell me that its battery is low after I've charged it completely, and have seen 5 bars worth of power for 30 mins;
it will turn off without shutting down, without alerting me
it will freeze, and won't turn off with the power button--the only thing to do is pull the battery out;
it will tell me the sim card isn't registered and then turn off
OR
the screen will go blank, turn white, and display a message that says 'Insert SIM card' when the sim card is already in, and hasn't been moved or anything;
the phone will die when I try to send text messages, call someone, or the first 30 seconds into a call;
whenever the phone dies on me, I have to pull the battery out & then turn the phone back on, and when I do so a ghost image of whatever i had been doing before the phone died (the text i was about to send, for instance, or the home screen, or the 'insert sim card' screen) will appear for a second, pixelate, then vanish.
I called AT&T, they do not believe that it is a charger or battery issue, since I've checked those anyway. My software is up to date, I've tried all the online troubleshooting tips. I've obviously dropped my phone before, who hasn't, but it was never anything *huge*, the phone never turned off because I dropped it, the battery never popped out, etc. It has fallen from my jeans to the floor, for example, that's about it. So there's no physical damage because of that. I have never gotten the phone wet;---the circle on the back of my battery is white, so it hasn't been exposed to liquid or heat or anything extreme. I don't think my warranty would be turned down for physical damage due to the above mentioned.
However, I have a question if anyone who works for Nokia reads these boards; my parrot removed the 'p' key from the keyboard--just the key, the pad underneath works fine and is untouched, i can still type the letter p and everything--but the 'p' key, just that one, is missing. I can't find it. Would I really be denied my 1 year warranty because of that? is there anyway I can buy a key to replace the 'p' key so that I could send my phone to AT&T? all it would need to be fixed is a tiny dab of glue. That's it. I will be very frustrated if I can't get my phone fixed within warranty because of that key; I would be forced to get another phone, and I don't think my choice would be another Nokia. Please let me know what I can do about this problem, it's getting ridiculous, I can't even answer phone calls without my first rushed sentence being 'my phone might hang up on you but i'll call you back' anymore.

@FastTortoise, I think a parrotlet might be a good fit for you, they were my pick because they have the same personality as a parrot (spunky, loving, fun, funny, etc) but they're TINY, and VERY quiet (comparatively::they've got nothing on cats). Check out this site for more info http://www.talkparrotlets.com/forum.php my name on there is brittany_lynn, you might be able to get my email from that site or from this, lemme know if you have ?'s or anything
P.S. All birds need a cage, a parrotlet just needs a smaller cage.

Beware the Security Update - How I fixed my WIFI problem and a question

First of all I have read the "Latest Update from 21 January is A Disaster" thread and I basically agree with Andrew is Stuck so please don't feel the need repeat any of the stuff about it is not a bug in the update etc etc and I should have a Super Duper clone to hand etc etc . I have read that stuff. You are probably right but they should write on the Security Update info panel - "Be Careful this could really ruin your day".
I am ****** off and stressed out and I need to rant and I am not looking for that kind of lecture - even if it is partially or wholly true. I need to feel positive by warning people the way I wish I had been warned!
NB I am near the end of a professional dance tour as Musical Director running music on Logic on my MBP and it has been working fantastic - not a single glitch in 6 weeks. I would never upgrade my OS or Logic in the middle of job like this BUT Security Updates have always seem like something you should install because they will protect the Mac or protect against any new viruses etc. I have never had a problem with them before. (THAT ATTITUDE WILL NOW CHANGE!!!)
This update has caused a lot of people a lot of problems (check out this forum) and it has caused me more real world problems than anything I have downloaded and installed from anywhere in the last 3 years. Thus it has nothing to do with Security!!! HOw any people does a Security Uodate have to goose before it becomes an unsatisfactory Security Update?
This security update suddenly stopped my WIFI working and put me in a real hole.
(I am sure you don't care but I have a meeting tomorrow morning that I needed to do 3 hours of prep for including looking at VIDEO online. And the Security Update has just put paid to that. )
After 3 hours I have just got WIfi back- here's how:
I repaired permissions twice with Disk Utility - no joy. I found I could get online when I booted in Safe Mode (and I could get online with my Iphone on the same WIFi setup) so I knew it was not the router - though I did switch the router on and off a few times,
When I initially ran Repair permissions there was loads of things needing repair. I ran it again and 2 remained:
usr/share/derby it keeps trying to repair
and one of the package contents of the ARDAgent.app (System>Library>CoreServices>RemoteManagement>ARDAgent.app>Contents>MacOS>ARDAg ent) had a warning attached that it in the Disk Utility Repair Permissions report that it had been modified.
So I restored ARDAgent.app from a Time Machine Back up and replaced the offending file when in Safe Mode (Restart with Shift held down). - using Ctrl Click to open the ARDAgent.app package contents.
This seemed to sort it all out for me.
I guess people need to look in their Disk Utility Repair Permissions reports and see if any esoteric system files have been goosed by the update and see if they can get them back - although if you don't know what you are doing this could make things worse......
Anyway I DO have questions:
If this hadn't of worked:
1) Would reinstalling Snow Leopard from disks have upset my preferences, installs of Logic and Audio drivers and 3rd party application installs and the rest?
- the main stressor when this happens is not trying to lose the whole day.
2) Is there a way of just restoring the System from a Time Machine Backup or a SuperDuper clone or do you have to restore the whole state of the entire Hard Drive?
Best
Tommy Banana
PS I feel better now. Thanks for listening.

The fact that you saw no glitches while running Logic before applying the update means almost nothing because that uses only a small subset of system resources. Far more significant is that Safe Mode restored some missing functionality: because it disables non-essential items like user fonts, third party drivers, & so on, it points to problems in those areas.
Equally significant, the fact that there are relatively few reports of post-update problems among the several million Snow Leopard users points away from the update itself as the cause of your problems.
Separate & apart from that, it so happens that I'm a sound engineer/system designer/board operator with nearly 40 years of professional touring experience. FWIW, I never have & never will update the software of any system I must rely on professionally (whether it is running on a Mac, a PC, or dedicated hardware) unless & until I can thoroughly test it first and I have a trustworthy backup/recursion strategy to fall back on in case of problems.
I strongly suggest you learn from your unpleasant experience & do the same. I have had far fewer problems with Macs than with PC's, but nothing is 100% reliable to begin with. Changing the OS software part way through the tour is just asking for trouble, no matter how reliable that has been in the past. Even if the budget allows for nothing better than a stack of burned CD's & a couple of consumer grade CD players, no professional tour can afford to be without some fallback strategy in place. That should be self-evident & require no warning from Apple or anybody else.

OS X Tiger Loading Problem and Monitor Question

Ok guys, I have two questions for you Mac Experts.
1. Yesterday, I was trying to load OS X Tiger, from CD onto my 400mhz Rev.2 Power Mac and I tried it about 5-9 times, and it kept giving me an error message saying that installation failed, or "Hold the power button, and hit reset". I took the hard drive out, put it in my slot loader iMac, and loaded up tiger onto that just fine, with no problems. So, it's not the CD's or the hard drive. The funny thing is that when i put the hard drive back into my power mac, it runs just fine. No problems. Do you think it is the CD Drive or what? Maybe a Logic Board Problem?
2. I just picked up a Flat Screen iMac 1st gen. I was wondering if there was a cable that I could use to connect the iMac to my Power Mac and use the iMac as a screen for my Power Mac. The guy at the electronics store showed me some mac adaptor that would fit into my iMac, and that had a serial port at the end. Could i connect that serial end, into the serial port of my Power Mac and have it read as a monitor? If this is possible, that would be great. If not, i will stop being a cheap skate, and buckle down and purchase a flat screen monitor. Any help would be great.

Ok, let me see if this helps any.
I downloaded Dimm Memory check thing that you said, it it shows that all of my RAM is ok. All of my RAM is either pc 100 or pc 133, so no issues there.
I downloaded the most up to date firmware, and i said that my firmware is up to date. Dont know if loading it made it up to date, or if it already was.
The video card is the origial Rage 128 or something. Whatever came with the Power Mac, is in there.
I was just downloading updateds in tiger, and got that stupid error message to hold the power, and restart. I am going to try this machine now in tiger, and get back to you.
Also thanks for the link about the iMac Flat Screen. I will look into it.

Keyword Problem and a Question.Forfo

For some odd reason, Lightroom assigns a keyword (Tofino) to ALL new imports. Even though it isn't selected. A bit aggravating, because I have to got back and change every file after it's imported. Why is this happening and how do I turn it off? This has gone on for more than a year!
My other question concerns the Adjustment Brush. I know there's a simple way of hitting a key to see which areas have been "masked," but I can't figure out how to do it? Who knows?
Many thanks.

I very much appreciate the hints on shortcuts and the "o" for the toggle
mask.
But I still can't figure out the keyword problem. Any other ideas? My
issue is that EVERY time I import files from the camera's SD card, it
applies a keyword of TOFINO. I used that once only. So I'm puzzled where
to look for this in the pre-sets. I prowled around last night, but I don't
think I'm looking in the right area.

Floppy drive problem and memory question!!!!!!!!!

hi
i have a bit of a problem i cant get windows to allow my floppy drive to work, everything else works fine, the drive works and has been tested elsewhere, when i click on it in windows it say floppy drive needs formating and sometimes says there is no disk in there when the disk i have put in fully works and is full tested, please advise,
secondly i have 2*512 kingston pc3200 value ram 3-3-3 , i am currently running them and they are working fine and are very fast but when i do benchmarks it says they are running in single channel, just need to know if they are suppoused to be like that or can i get them to run in dual channel , and if so what will the diffrence be?
i would really appreciate if you could help me with these question please e-mail me at [email protected] if you wish to send me info or ask me any quetions, cheers

Hi
Floppy drive. Is the Floppy seek enabled in advanced bios features. Is the floppy set as a Boot Device. Is the floppy controller enabled in integrated peripherals, not on auto, but enabled.
Does your floppy cable have a twisted wire in it ? Some older floppy drives have jumpers to set them to either Flp1 to Flp2. Also if cable does not have twisted pair, you might need to set floppy swap as well.
This CPU and Mobo use single channel Ram by default, so no loss in speed.

Password problem - and security question problem

Hi,
Can anyone help - I seem to have forgotten my password - although I was sure it was right. However, when it asked for my security question - and I really really do know the answer to that, it tells me I'm wrong. I tried it capitalised and all lower case, but no joy. Cant get out of this loop, and cant move forward ie another security question. Any ideas anyone? Ktkaren

3.1.2 update problem and a question

For the last couple of days all my attempts in updating to 3.1.2 ended up in an error right at the conclusion of the download process. The download would get to 99% and than quit with a network time out error (even though there is actually no internet disruption on my end). I tried disabling the firewall and antivirus, didn't help.
Is there anything else I might try doing? Alternatively is there any other (official) way to actually download the update outside iTunes? I found an .ipsw file supposedly containing this update (even the file size is a match) but is it safe to do it this way? If it is, how would I go about using it(never updated that way before)?

I have the same issue. I found this real frustrating coz I have encountered this same issue since the 2.++ version update but this time the porblem didnt solve even after I disabled the firewall and antivirus. Would appreciate if someone can solve this issue rightaway.
Also, I have problem with wifi since 2 weeks ago with my version 3.1 like many of the buddies in this discussion forum. Wifi is ok but not able to connect to internet. This is very annoying especially when most of the time you have to work outside office and get connected with information thru interent thru wifi thru iphone.
May be we should seriously cosidiering othere choices of smartphone! Poor Apple!

Record insertion problem and another question...

I know I'm now php mysql expert so I am trying to use the
insertion wizard and I can make the form and have it supposed to
link to another page after its done inserting but when I run the
page and fill in the details it inserts the record but does not
goto the directed page and also shows the error:
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already
sent in C:\wamp\www\toursite\admin\users\add.php on line 56
and on line 56 is:
header(sprintf("Location: %s", $insertGoTo));
Can anyone help me here?
My second problem is not really a dreamweaver problem but it
may be linked to it. Im using a server package called WAMP and
pages that I can run will sometimes cause and error box to popup
saying that Apache has caused error, the box that gives you the
option of sending the report or not. Anyone know what the problem
is here?
If I have not given enough information to help please ask for
more.
Thanks

The headers already sent error is a common problem that
baffles
beginners. It's caused by some output being sent to the
browser before a
call to certain functions, such as header() or
session_start(). You need
to eliminate that output, and the problem will go away.
Common causes of output are:
* Blank space before the opening PHP tag
* Blank space before the opening PHP tage or after the
closing PHP tag
of any include files
* Use of echo or print anywhere before the call to the
problem function
* Error messages generated by PHP

None of the server packages are endorsed by PHP. Some are
good, others
not so good. It sounds as though you have a bad installation.
Seek
advice from the WAMP team or support forum if they have one.

Display issue with old TV and more questions

Hi,
I'm trying to connect my 24" iMac to an older model TV with RCA and S-Video input. I haven't attempted to connect using S Video but i do have the adaptor for the iMac to use the Yellow RCA cable. I understand that it automatically changes the resoltion to adapt to the TV resolution but my question is this.
Does S-Video result in a clearer picture with the TV? Because right now it is virtually unusable because of the picture quality. I have tried to reduce the resolution from the iMac with no prevail. Should i pick up an S-Video cable today?
#2 - Can i turn off the monitor from the iMac without it touching the TV display?
#3 - I only have two sets of inputs on the back of this TV one for the Tivo and one for the Xbox 360. What would i need to add this additional input and change it remotely?
Any help with these is greatly appreciated!

Hi D to the M
You will do better turning Mirroring Off and select the proper resolution for each, when your running that setup in Mirror mode the resolutions are not matched and it goofs up the iMacs resolution. This will also be true using an S-Video cable, but the overall picture quality should be slightly better. Note that the TV will probably not make a good display for working windows, but will be decent for watching movies, video clips, viewing slideshows and photos.
My same TV setup has been connected up for over 2 years, and I just switch the TV off or select another input source.

New email webpages have same old problem and Customer service doesn't exist

Why is it so tediously hard to find what/where to click to get to my email sub-accounts? You brag that we can have multiple accounts but you overlook making it simple to find their location on your site!!
And your customer service is by far the worst I've experienced between Direct TV, Dish and Verizon Fios. Dish was the best.
Verizon has gotten so huge as to resemble the old AT&T, and some services are being ignored. So the cure is to chop you up.

#1 Go to http://www.verizon.net/central/appmanager/portal/vzcentral
#2 Log-in as need be, as the primay account holder.
#3 Go to My Account.
#4 Near the bottom, you can create / delete Or enable/disable certain feature of a sub account.
#5 Log-out, as the primay account ownwer
#6 Go to e-mail. Now you can log-in your sub account, if your sub e-mail account is enabled.

Well I just got this mobo and the rest of my parrts to upgrade my pc
New specs are
p67-c43 mobo
i2500k
550w corsair psu
ati hd6950
water cooled
Problem is, if I use the newest bios 1.c then I can't over clock past 4.6ghz. Every time I do it automacticly lowers the multiplier when its put under load to 4.6ghz. Now,w when I use the 1.b bios it doesn't do this but now the bios and any windows boot screen (say improper shut down, please select safe mode or normal
ect.) Wont work right. Its all glitchy. 1.c fixes this but then im limited in oc, any remedy for this.
Also, anyb way to increase max cpu voltage past 1.35? I can achieve 4.8ghz at 1.35v but no more, id really lke to hit 5ghz as heat is not an issue with my wc (only hitting 29c idle and 55c load with my 4.8ghz @ 1.35v)
The new BIOSes on a lot of the P67A boards are limiting the CPU speed under load. My chip runs fine at 4.5GHz @ 100% load with the 1.B on a G43, with 1.C it throttles down to 4.2GHz on a heavy load. People are reporting this in the overclocking form as well with G55 and 65 boards.
I reported it, MSI support didn't seem to care. Since this is affecting multiple product lines, I think it is a new "feature" and not a bug. Here is one of the other threads:

Applet problems and another question

Hey guys, I am having two problems with some code of mine.
(1) I can't get this code to run in a browser, it says the class DrawingFrame is not found, but it is in the same directory and it runs using JBuilder in an applet viewer. What is wrong?
(2) I need to calculate the lengths of the paths in a fractal tree. I have no idea how to do this correctly. I can calculate it when both path scales are the same but when they are different everything is shot. Plus it prints out twice as many lengths as there are paths!
Please help with this problem, I have been pulling my hair out, thanks.

You are using Swing in an applet.
1) Are you using Sun's plugin (JRE 1.4) or Microsoft JVM?
2) The code
import com.borland.jbcl.layout.*;indicates that you probably would have to include some Borland classes in your applet JAR file (I don't know which ones to include!) if you want to run the applet.
List the JAR please:
jar tf <your applet jar file>
Example:
jar tf myapplet.jar
It will help you.
For instance, if you do not get in your listing a line like:
DrawingFrame.class
your applet will never run.

A bunch of old problems and entertaing questions lately
