Alternatives to Creative cards for Vi

I've wasted enough time trying to get my creative cards to run Dolby Digital or DTS through SPDIF on Vista. I've bought enough cards, cables, boxes, converters and software to feed my family for a week. Enough.
I need an opinion on what card I should buy that supports (all of) the following:?-Vista-5. Channel surround sound or higher-DTS-Dolby Digital-SPDIF (coaxial or optical connection)?If anyone knows of any cards that do some or all of the above, please post here. This will be a useful resource for not only myself, but pretty much everyone using vista. Thanks guys!

After wasting this much time on creatives cards, of course I googled alternati'ves. But to no avail. Also, there are no strict rules governing the discussions to cards not manufactured by creative labs. In fact that promotes healthy compeition. In addition to that, I feel that when creative's products fail to perform their intended function, it is only fair for me to use their resources (forums) to try and regain that intended function.

Trying to update my credit card for Creative Cloud account but chat support is always repeating the same thing?

I'm just trying to update my credit card info for my Creative Cloud account, it's been 6 times I've contacted chat support.
Every time they repeat the same questions & answers over & over.
"What's the name on the card?"
-I give it to them.
"It will take 4 to 5 hours to update."
-I wait a day, same problem, then contact them again, same question & same answer. They don't give me a reason or any indication why my card didn't get charged.
I re-phrase my questions, always same answer:
"Your payment details are updated, your account will be activated in 4-5 hours."
Are they robots?
Is there actually somebody on the end of the chat, is it possible to talk to a supervisor or someone that could help me give you money so my account doesn't expire?

Well, today my tools are going to be deactivated because my account is expiring.
Still no solution or feedback on the status of the issue relating to the fact that my valid credit card is stuck in a processing limbo in their payment system.
The biggest lesson learned is that subscription software & cloud based services are too risky for a professional production pipeline.
Imagine if I had employees and a huge deadline this week, I would have to explain to my clients that the reason I can't deliver is because Adobe can't process my credit card for whatever reason, and they deactivated my tools.
Now, I probably won't be able to work today but at least this situation as forced me to re-evaluate how I'm going to build my new workflows and those of my clients.
I was actually planning to convert my video production pipeline to Adobe Premiere but now, it's guaranteed I'm staying with Final Cut.
Same thing for my photo retouching & motion workflows, I'm stripping out every Adobe Cloud tool from it.

2)the best one I should get (or should I just get the cheapest).

It sounds like something got corrupted in the memory. I would reformat and transfer the music again. Won't take long ... 256MB with 50-ish tracks at USB2 speeds is quick.

Can someone recommend me a good creative sound card for listening to music

Hi all,
I am thinking to buy a Creative sound card for my new PC.
I have browsed the Creative web site but found out that there are just too many options for me to choose from, like X-FI, e-MuRecon3D Fatal1ty Champion, Recon3D PCIe, E-MU 1212M PCIe.
I have no idea which one is the best for me since I like listening to music.
Please give me some advice.
Thanks
Kitty.

It's ultimately going to depend on how particular you are, and what output you're going to be using.
Arguably the X-Fi Titanium HD will give the clearest output of the whole lot. A measurable 122dB SNR means you'll basically have to turn it up to the threshold of pain before you'll hear any noise produced by the card itself. That doesn't mean there won't be any noise at all in the output - just that the card realistically won't add any that didn't already exist in the source material. Further to this, when run in Entertainment mode you'll also have access to the THX enhancements over the standard Creative ones, which I personally find to be substantially better in actual listening. The EMI shield and changeable op-amps are just gravy.
Of course, there's always fine print. The 122dB SNR only applies to the front outputs, for example. That's not to say the rest aren't very good - they're rated at between 115dB and 118dB - just that they aren't as good. Odds are you won't really care but its still worth mentioning. The other major limitation (in my opinion) is the absence of a good headphone pre-amplifier, but that may or may not be a non-issue depending on whether you use headphones or already have an external one (or, like me, you feel inclined to make your own to solve that limitation).
The other good option would be the Recon3D. I wouldn't bother going with any of the upper market ones for music (or for any reason, for that matter) unless the front drive bay or directional microphone are of any particular importance to you (NB I bought the Fatal1ty Champion edition - still not entirely sure why). An argument could be made for the EMI shield, but with so few components on the board it probably isn't stopping a whole heap of noise anyway over the miniature "shield" on the SPU itself. When compared in raw specs to the Titanium HD, at a glance it would appear to be vastly inferior - 102dB SNR ratio (albeit constant across all outputs) is quite a bit lower, after all.
However, it's important to keep in mind exactly what that means. 102dB SNR still means you'll have to turn the volume up quite a bit to get any extra noise added to your output. You're talking around the volume of a power saw at a little over 3 feet, so realistically it's quite loud - and it's over the level which is generally considered to cause hearing loss with sustained exposure (95dB). You also have to remember that this doesn't apply to the S/PDIF outputs (nor does the HD's 122dB) since they're entirely at the mercy of whatever decoder you're using, so if you're using that output than the extra expense of the HD is pretty much entirely wasted. And, as a major plus, all Recon3D cards have what seems to be a pretty decent headphone pre-amp, which makes a very appreciable difference in listening, as well as supporting the various THX enhancements.
The short version:
- If you're listening mostly via stereo analogue speakers, get the Titanium HD.
- If you're listening mostly via headphones, get the Recon3D (I personally think the pre-amp is better than the higher SNR).
- If you're listening mostly via S/PDIF to an external amp, it doesn't matter (but get the Recon3D because it's cheaper).

How to use the same credit card for more than one customer master

Hi,
this is a question for consultants at least a little familiar with SAP business partner, Customer-vendor-intergration cvi, contract accounting:
My customer wants to store the same credit card with more than one customer. Arguments are that family members or partners may mutually agree to use the same credit card for their distinct purchases.
I never tried with amazon or the likes but I know that SAP validates the uniqueness of credit cards.
I found 6 code line where the message (V/)005 "Payment card &1 &2 is already assigned to customer &3" prohibits duplicate assignment.
Even if I create a couple of enhancements to suppress the error, I don't know how the system will work.
The customer does not like the idea of using alternative payer.
Did you ever face the same problem and how did you solve it?
Much Thanks in advance
Best regards
Clemens

HT201251 I want to use 30 ipads to run kiosk software in my restaurant. Can I use one Apple ID (and one credit card) for all devices

I want to use 30 ipads to run kiosk software in my restaurant. Can I use one Apple ID (and one credit card) for all devices?

Alternatively you can always manage your iPads (does not matter how many) with a single apple id and all reporting to your account under "find my device" service. Keeping an eye on all your units. Additionally as you mentioned these are for your Restaurant you may find the solutions offered by this company who creates apps and hardware for this purpose: http://www.spartakioskpro.com
Additionally if you expand beyond those 30 iPads to say 300 you will want to enable or plan on MDM as your best option to automate every ipad to use the same profile and app and ios configuration while also keeping a close eye on all of them via online MDM services like: https://meraki.cisco.com/products/systems-manager

Graphics Card for Xserv G5

Please help!
Apple can't.....
We have a G5 Xserv, that we desparately need a Graphics Card for. Apple say they can't supply it (their most useful suggestion was to buy one of the new core-duo machines as they ship with a graphics card as standard!).
Xserv G5
2GHz PowerPC G5
2GB DDR400 ECC SDRAM - 2x1GB
1000GB ADM (2x500GB Serial ATA)
I believe we need a PCI-X card?
Any ideas where I can get one or what the alternatives are? It can be a very basic card - nothing hardcore required in terms of graphics performance. If it could only draw the desktop in black and white, it would do!
Thoughts?
Xserv G5/2Ghz G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

The Radeon 7000 PCI card is based on the same GPU that Apple once shipped as the BTO Xserve video option - ATI RV100 - so it is worth a try.
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Hardware/DeveloperNotes/Servers/XserveG5/2Architecture/chapter_3_section7.html
Any basic ATI should be supported by the OS because ATI was Apple's default video provider for much of this time period.
Note that using a PCI video card will limit the speed of any PCI-X cards you also have installed, but that shouldn't effect your actual performance probably.

Where can i buy an airport extreme card for my powerbook

Where can I buy an airPort extreme caed for my powerbook? are they even available, if not how can I go wireless ?

eBay is a good source, though as ever, buy wisely and make sure you get the right card for your specific model.
Alternatively there are wireless cards available that go in the card slot. Again eBay is full of them but be sure they're OSX compatible - its a good idea to put this phrase in your search terms.
I can vouch that this one works as I'm using it now:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SAGEM-PCMCIA-AIRPORT-54MBPS-WIRELESS-WIFI-CARD-MAC-OS-X-/4 00124141388?pt=UK_Computing_Apple_Mac_Accessories&hash=item5d2941df4c#ht_3229wt_ 886
It just plugged straight in and was recognised as an Airport Card. This is from the UK site but I'm sure you can find the same thing wherever you live, or at that price just have it shipped.

Get "TV Out" graphics card for PAL monitor?

I'm having problems acheiving an external PAL monitor thru my camera. What if I cut out the camera with a new card for 'TV out', would this make the set-up more robust. Would the 'TV out' merely duplicate the computer monitor display? This is really frustrating, I need to see what I'm doing. Please help if you can!

It depends on what you mean by a new card. If you are talking about a Kona or Decklink - sure. A less expensive alternative may be the Canopus series of Digital Video/ Analog converter boxes. They take firewire in and output analog.

How do I set birthday reminders without having to create a separate contact card for each person in a family?

I'm trying to set birthday reminders in iCal based on the birthday field in Contacts. But in order to create separate birthday entries for individuals in the same family, you have to set up a separate card for each person. Anyway around that?

Thank you to johnbeardy, Anthony.Ralph and Rob for your replies. The OP (I guess that's me, Maps Man) has been happy with CS since CS2. I have upgraded etc and used it successfully. Unfortunately, I have recently up graded my camera as well but CS5 would not read the new RAW files. My natural inclination was to look at a CS upgrade but Adobe effectively priced me out. It obviously is not interested in amateur hobbyists anymore perhaps because they don't produce enough cash for Adobe. Even the new "Cheap" offer they are offering is still very pricey as well as being ongoing for life. I looked at a variety of alternatives including Elements, Lightroom and DxO Pro 8. In the meantime I used a combination of Nikon's ViewNX2 to judge my uploads off camera then Adobe DNG Converter to change them to DNG and back to CS5 for the fun bit. Rightly or wrongly, I decided that Lightroom was the least objectionable both for cost and user friendliness. And I do like the results I get using it. I can now go back to coming straight out of camera, do a substantial amount of edit work and go directly to CS5 for final touches such as size and frame (perhaps Lightroom does that also but I have not yet found how! Time will tell.) It is just that I find the first part so annoying. I do not mind organisations giving us suggestions (e.g. Catalogues) I just find it a nuisance that I cannot say "Thanks, but no thanks it is too complicated for what I want." As for using it "properly" it is debatable whether Adobe's engineers have done it "properly" if they don't give that choice. After all, CS5 etc does not need catalogues to work well so why should Lightroom's catalogues be "proper?"
Obviously I will be sticking with Lightroom and I will try to find my way round the problem. I had hoped that there may have been some way to customize it for my needs but there does not seem to be.
Thank you again for your comments.

Creative Studio for Home or Business Gone & Poor Printers

Hello Hp,
Extremely disappointed that you've decided to no longer provide creative projects through the Creative Studio for Home or Business. These products were free and I could print at home.
Snapfish (owned by HP) is very limited in its selection of projects. It doesn't offer newsletters, brochures, calling cards, etc. that can be used for personal use.
This was one of the reasons I liked using an HP Printer.   However, recent experiences with a new HP Photosmart 7520 have completely changed my mind about using HP products in the future.
I purchased a brand new HP printer from HPCanada. It had to be sent back because it was defective.   In return I received a refurbished printer which also didn't work.  It took about three refurbished printers before one worked.
The quality of this printer compared to all of my previous HP Printers is extremely poor and substandard.   It can't even print properly in draft mode!    No it's not the drivers just a crappy printer!
Never again will I waste my money on an HP Printer,
k.

USE 2 identical creative cards (XFI-Ti, ZS2, ...)

Hi everyone, I?m currently testing Windows 7, news drivers of creative works fine and Microsoft allows to play the same sound on multiple cards/channels; different sounds on different channels witch is really nice.
My problem is, and was also the case on Xp, if I connect 2 Creative identical cards, even if it's recognise by the system in the system management, it's impossible to access to the second one. Creative console is disable and also no more upgrade from creative website (hardware not recognise or detected)
Do someone know any issue to use 2 identical creative cards?
<p class="MsoNormal">?

Now I must say, that is a great idea..........two cards in the machine at once? Please keep reporting on your results. I have seen users in other forums use the Microphone of their onboard chipset, but not the sound, and then use a Creative or Auzentech for sound. Two cards of identical brand and make though? I am curious... title="Smiley Happy" src="http://forums.creative.com/i/smilies/6x6_smiley-happy.gif">

- it's all said in the title. I can't understand why the developers turn things bad ... risking loosing Apples valuable customers.
More examples needed? (check out the communities and the reviews)
- OSX: Maverick to Yosemite = not recommended (check it out > http://roaringapps.com/apps)
- iPad: older versions as iPad2 should not upgrade to iOS7/8 (it's not supporting its hardware accordingly, it's designed for the latest hardware)
- iTunes (it's possible to rollback to 10.7 - 11.4, but you need to breech OSX system security framework)
- Pages (was a real alternative for many of us, each update reduced features and created incompatibility to older work files)
The list could easily extend to ...

You can offer Apple feedback here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/
