Any benefit of using toslink as well as HDMI to connect ATV2 to a TV?

If you connect ATV2 directly to a TV using HDMI, does connecting the Toslink interface to the TV provide any benefits in terms of audio quality, additional Dolby etc or would this be a waste of money?

Indirectly. Because HDMI audio capabilities are a superset of optical/coaxial digital output (S/PDIF), it follows that HDMI can "do them all", too. My point was, if anything, optical would be a potential downgrade compared to HDMI, because optical has less bandwidth. However, it doesn't matter for the Apple TV, which doesn't support anything optical can't carry. In particular, you wouldn't lose anything running HDMI to your TV and optical to a receiver for audio, if you had a receiver that didn't support HDMI.

I have 3 Dell laptops at home and I am unable to connect my iPad 1 to any of them using the USB cable. If I connect the iPad to any Apple computer using the same USB cable, it works perfectly. I have installed the latest versions of iTunes and iOS, but still no luck. Apple Store Geniuses helped me determine that it wasn't my iPad causing the problem, but were less helpful when it came to dealing with non-Apple devices.
Options?

Does the OS see the iPad at all? In other words does it show up in either the My Computer or Device Manager?
I've had problems in the past where I had to modify the registry to get my son's iPod to sync with a particular HP laptop.
If it doesn't show up at all have your tried using an external hub (with or without power)?

Any Benefit to Airport Extreme vs. Other Routers When Connecting to Apple TV?

I have Time Warner Cable and currently I have a Motorola SURFboard SB6141 modem going to an old Airport Extreme wifi router to get to my Apple TV.
I am considering the following options:
Upgrade to a Motorola SURFboard SBG6580 modem with Wifi
Stay with my current modem and Airport Extreme
Is there any reason why Airport Extreme wifi would be better at connecting to an Apple TV, than a Motorola modem with built-in wifi?
Thanks in advance to all for any info.

Personally I would stick with what you have.
For iTunes store purchases, movies max out at requiring 8 Mbps for 1080p so provided the current wifi provides that I doubt an upgrade would help. Does the extreme provide 802.11n?
If wifi is problematic in your house due to interference, thick walls, multiple floors etc a new router may or may not help, but the solution I adopted several years ago which I think is pretty great is using mains powerline network adapters which basically convert electrical sockets into ethernet sockets. You stick one into a socket near your router and connect a short ethernet cable then the others (1 or many) go in sockets near the devices which will use an ethernet connection and again connect via ethernet cables. Provided you don't have awful wiring or very complex wiring this usually works well.
I use Devolo (200 and 500) adapters, but Belkin,Netgear and many others make them too.

Is there any information about using iCloud on a Mac with multiple user accounts (Mountain Lion)

When upgrading to Mountain Lion, you are asked to sign in using your iCloud ID. I don't understand how to set up the proper synching of "stuff" if your Mac has multiple user accounts, and they each have their own iCloud ID.
The whole issue of supporting multiple users on a Mac and making everything easy to understand with regard to iTunes and iCloud is, in my opinion, currently in a state of disaster. Apple needs to address this. They have conveniently made it a non-issue on iPads by not allowing multiple users. I can tell you that as one of the resident iOS and Apple experts in my office, most of the questions I get from others (not work-related) are on this topic. It needs to be easier to understand and accomplish.
Thanks in advance for any information you have on this subject.

Is there any benefit for me to use smart previews if my Lightroom 5 catalog, previews and media are all on the same external USB HD?

I keep everything on 1 External USB3 HD so that I can pug it into my Mac at home or my PC at work and just keep working without syncing anything to the local machine. So is there any benefit with Smart Previews in this case? I heard somewhere that it might make the Develop module a little quicker, but is this only when using the Smart Preview and not the full res image?

Lr uses smart previews instead of ACR cache for initial develop-module view when photos are online - amount of benefit is, in my experience, very minor (not noticeable without using a stop-watch..).
But if photos are offline, you may experience more substantial savings.
Note: smart previews are reduced resolution - smart previews of raw files are 2560 x (say) 1920, so if your original raws were say 5120 x 3840, then you/Lr are dealing with 1/4 the number of pixels when editing via smart previews.
Anyway, if you are willing to give up zoom for one edit pass, you can resize the smart previews so 1:1 fits in your allotted display space (e.g. 1280 x 960, which would be 1/8 number of pixels..), e.g. using the PreviewExporter plugin - then things may be significantly faster in develop module. PreviewExporter also has a feature to take originals offline, and put them back online.
To be clear: the amount of savings may or may not be dramatic - how much there is depends on your system, size of raw vs. smart preview image, number and type of edits applied, etc..
Why don't you try it and tell us what you think?!
Cheers,
Rob

I bought an iphone 6plus at $849 and it works well in China with a Chinese SIM. While the device went wrong, and I got a replacement in US Apple store. However, any Chinese cannot use in the replacement. I contact apple support, and they asked me to contact you to unlock the device. I want to know if you can help me with the issue.

The Verizon iPhone 6 comes unlocked, Verizon would not be able to help with a Chinese sim.

Is there any benefit to 64-bit version when I only have 4GB of RAM?

My laptop only has 4GB of RAM so I am wondering if there is any benefit to installing 64-bit version? Besides I have an AMD Athlon II P340 Dual-Core 64-bit processor which isn't very powerful so I am not even in the best spot to take advantage of 64-bit. For those wondering, I am using Windows 7 64-bit.
Although I am posting this in Photoshop, I am in fact installing most of the Adobe CS6 Master Collection so there is a chunk of space to be saved. Also I don't tend to use plugins, only OnOne which are 64-bit. So should I avoid installing the 64-bit version altogether? or should I install 64-bit and get rid of 32-bit? What is your opinion?

That's entirely up to you - if you're SURE you'll not need any 32 bit plug-ins then you're probably going to be okay. The 64 bit version does everything.
I personally DO have some 32 bit only plug-ins and I occasionally do use the 32 bit Photoshop for that reason, so I have them both installed.
The only other consideration I can think of is that occsasionally a system might have a problem (with drivers or something) to where the 32 or 64 bit version will work better than the other. Probably your best bet, assuming you're trying to minimize disk usage, will be to install just the 64 bit version and see how well it meets your needs. You can always go back, uninstall, and install both (or the other).
A "thinking out of the box" alternative... Maybe you could consider getting a big new SSD drive to replace the drive you have, which will both kick performance up and give you a lot of extra space. Of course, this costs $$$.

If Join was on then your home wi-fi must be set to Non-Broadcast. If you did not set this up (maybe your provider did) then you will need to find the Network Name they used, and any password they used. The SSID is Security Set ID and to see more try http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSID . Basically it is the name used to identify your router/network. A lot of times the installer will leave it set as LinkSys, or Broadcom or whatever the manufacturer set it as for default. Your best bet is to get whoever installed it to walk you through how they set it up, giving you id's and passwords so you can get in. HOWEVER, if you are not comfortable with this (if you set security wrong, etc.) you would be well ahead of the game to hire a local computer tech (networking) to get this working for you. You can also contact the vendor of your router and get help (if it is still in warranty), or at least get copies of the manuals as pdf files. Sorry I can't give you more help, I hope this gives you an idea where to go from here to find more.

Any way to use filter to exclude tables in navagation pane?

Is there any way to use filter to exclude a set of tables from the table list in the navagation pane? I have a number of tables (15+) starting with the same prefix eg. AB123 that I would like eliminate from the list. They sort right to the top and I always have to scroll down, and go through the show more dialog to see the entire list.
I am sure I'm missing something, but not sure what. Help Center has nothing to offer.
Thanks
Glenn

This has been mentioned on the forum before - basically the need for more elaborate ways to filter (multiple conditions as well as 'not like'). It is on our list for future consideration, meaning post-production.

Is there any problem to use multiple threads to send email with JavaMail

Dear all,
I am using JavaMail 1.3.2 to send emails with SMTP, it works very well for a long time.
But one day, I found that the email service hanged and I could never send email again until I restart the tomcat. I found that the reason was a deadlock had been created, the required resource for sending email had not been released.
I guess the error is due to multiple threads are sending email at the same time. I made a test to create seperate thread for sending each email. After few days, I found this deadlock happened again. So, my question is: Can I use JavaMail with multiple threads? If not, I may need to sychronized all the thread that using JavaMail. I would like to make sure this is the reason for causing the deadlock problem.
Here is part of my code for using JavaMail:
transport = session.getTransport("smtp");
transport.connect(email_host, smtp_user, smtp_pass);
message.saveChanges();
transport.sendMessage(message,message.getAllRecipients());
which is very standard call, and it worked well for a long time.
Here is part for my thread dump on tomcat:
(Thread-339)
- waiting to lock <0x5447c180> (a sun.nio.cs.StandardCharsets)
(Thread-342)
- locked <0x5447c180> (a sun.nio.cs.StandardCharsets)
It seems that these happened after call the method transport.sendMessage() or message.updateChanges()
, and the underlying implementation may require the JRE StandardCharsets object. But the object had been locked and never be released. So, the sendMessage() or updateChanges() can't be completed.
Please give me some helps if you have any idea about it.
Thanks very much!
Sirius

Note that the Nightly build gets updated daily (and sometimes more than once in case of a respin) and it is always possible that something goes wrong and it doesn't work properly, so be prepared for issues if you decide to stay with the Nightly build and make sure to have the current release with its own profile installed as well in case of problems.

Any prerequisites for using javascripts (JS) in SAP BPC 7.5NW (SP5)

Hi,
I keep getting evalution and parsing errors, every time I use a JS in my conversion files. It simple standard JS, like:
js:parseInt(%external%)
js:%external%.substring(2,5)
etc
Are there any prerequisites for using javascripts ??
Is there anywhere I can debug these JS withing SAP BW ?
Thank you,
Joergen

Gersh,
It works now. I have implemented the below code (ENTITY needed to contain the variable as well). The relationship profitcenter and entity is very important as it derives the relevant profitcenters from the profit center hierarchy (e.g. all profitcenters under the legalentity node).
//ALLOCATION PROCEDURE CONVERSION RATE
//=====================================
*FOR %ENT% = %ENTITY_SET%
*RUNALLOCATION
*FACTOR=1
*DIM SEBACCOUNT WHAT=CONV_RATE; WHERE=<<<; USING=<<< ; TOTAL=<<<
*DIM PROFCENT WHAT=DUMPC; WHERE=BAS(BPC_%ENT%);USING=<<<; TOTAL=<<<
*DIM CATEGORY WHAT=FCSTCUR; WHERE=<<<; USING=<<< ; TOTAL=<<<
*DIM ENTITY WHAT=%ENT%; WHERE=<<<; USING=<<<; TOTAL=<<<
*ENDALLOCATION
*NEXT
Thanks

Yes you can use earphones or earbuds. You can use iPhone or iPod earbuds and there are many other headphones that will work with the iPad - and bluetooth headphones wiill work as well.

CS5 MPE - any benefit for SD editing?

I do ONLY home video SD editing to create family DVD output... NO hi-def and no h.264 codecs
Since the nVidia 285 card is about $400 and a good ATI card w/1Gig (to use with Photoshop) is about $100... does anyone know if the new MPE module in CS5 will have any benefit for SD editing and output?

I have recently started having this problem in PSE8. The Adobe workaround
did work, but I don't fancy having to re register each time I use it.
What I have discovered is that it's nothing to do with the image metadata as it occurs before any image is opened.
It SEEMS to only occur if you use file/open with to open an image in the editor - IE start PSE with that command.
If you close elements down, and start it using programs/PSE/Elements (or your desktop shortcut) - the panorama feature magically works.
Each time I've opened the editor 'automatically' using image/open with, it seems to create the problem.
Hope this helps
