Any Channel Better Than Others?

I have an AppleTv that streams thru our WiFi Airport Extreme network from my iMac in my other office. It stalls & stops alot. Someone suggested I change the channel on my Airport Extreme. There's several different channels. Any one better than another to resist interference? We do have DECT 6.0 phones.

"iStumbler didn't find any other networks."
Very good news. Check again later in the evening as there may be some other networks busy at that time. If you don't see any other networks, you are most fortunate.
Could you explain further what you mean by "The best channel is the one that is the most distance from other channels."
I know this is a bit difficult to understand because the channels interact and overlap with one another. There are really only 3 channels that do not overlap with each other... 1, 6 and 11. If you have no other channels in range and set the Airport Extreme to Automatic, it will likely choose one of these 3 channels. Give it a try.
Now if there were more channels in use around you and for example, you find that someone is using channel 6. Then your best channel choice is either 1 or 11 because they are the most distant from 6. Or, if someone is on 8, then choose 1. The real challenges start when you find out channels 2,5,7 and 10 are all in use. Then you can't choose a channel that does not overlap with one of the others.

What makes iPad better than other tablets

Hi there! i am planning on buying the new iPad 2 but i want to ask and talk about what makes the iPad better than other tablets particularly Android.
Since its first outing the iPad has come from strenght to strenght with featrures and apps only a smartphone (or even a PC) could dream of.
But in the past few months there has been a tsunami of Android tablets vuying to topple Apple's device. with better features like:
1. Divx support (in some devices)
2. better front & rear cameras
3. better multitasking and customisation options
4. Android being an "open" platform
5. video chat with ANY similar device (and not confined to only Android)
6. better bluetooth option and features (like sending files to ANY device and not confined to only Android)
7. full DLNA support (in almost all devices now)
......and the list goes on.
sure it's not a contest and sure some makers have "copied" features from Apple and made it into their own but i still love Apple devices not because of the lack of features but because the technology really works and the OS just flows really smooth.
so, i want to ask you guys....what makes Apple devices such as the iPad 2 special, unique, desirable and better in many ways than an Android device?
what makes the iPad an investment for me and my family?

Don't get me wrong i am fan of Android but i also am a fan of the iPad 2. but i still can't help with the things the device is lacking and lagging behind with with the Android devices.
sure, the iPad is not a Xoom or a Transformer or a Galaxy tab.
sure, the iOS is fluid and smooth and it just works
sure, Honeycomb 3.0 is full of bugs and it freezes more often than not (i heard)
sure, the Apps Store is still miles away when it comes to apps, games, etc. (although i heard it will be overtaken by the Android Markt by this year in terms of sheer numbers but also quality apps designed/dedicated for tablets by next year)
the Android Amrket might not have "rogue" apps or "stealing user data" but doesn't Apple products have that and do that as well?
sure the iPad doesn't support Flash but even though its a battery hogging software you still enjoy the "full" web (the way it was meant to be viewed) on an Android tablet.
sure, the iPad does have a below 1-megapixel camera which is jurassic really.
but it still doesn't hide the facts like what i mentioned on my previous emails.
for the cheapest wifi-only iPad 2 you pay GBP399
the equivalent 7" Galaxy Tab (which came out months before the ipad 2) you pay GBP399 and that's with 3G, better front & rear facing camera, full Divx capability (without the need of an app), full DLNA capability (without the need of a separate device or server), better and more "open" bluetooth, full Flash compatibility amongst others.
basing on my example above can someone tell me without being biased...what makes the iPad 2 better in many ways?

Does OS X prefer 5Ghz channel 36 than others?

AirPort Time Capsule latest version.
Wireless AC.
Those 5Ghz channels, which one usually gives highest speed? I have tested few, I felt channel 36 seemed to have highest speed than channel 52 or 100 or 149, but channel 36 looks very crowded, many neighbour 5Ghz are around this channel while channel 100 / 149 are not used by any neighbours.
Is that true that OS X prefers channel 36 than others?

Every time the computer goes to sleep the actual settings will change..
When it wakes up the wireless is likely to be different..
Please do give me the link speeds.. Not the actual throughput.
I have to say everyone here probably thought you were talking about link speed.. but I see you are talking about actual throughput.
I refuse to update to Yosemite.. but the command should still be to hold down option key whilst you click on the wifi symbol.
This gives a bunch of useful info.
Give me this screenshot using 36 and using 149.. give it to me if it changes like on waking the computer.. or when you have started transferring files.
The other place to get the info is wireless diagnostics.. which is listed at the bottom..
You can get a lot of info out of the utility.. it however is different on yosemite.
The major spike on the curve of signal and SNR is when I changed over channels.. do this and mark what the changes are.. or do a separate graph for each one.
As a final note..
538 on 36 vs 500 on 149 I would count as error margins of any test... that is less than 10% difference.. And these tests are not proof one way or the other of wireless .. it can be internet or router or congestion..
If you want accurate indications you must use iperf in your own network.. not to the internet.

Surfaces that dissipate heat better than others?

I notice there is a pretty noticeable difference in CPU temperature when I have a mid 2010 MBP on my lap rather than on my wooden desk.
Am I imagining things? Are some surfaces better than others when it comes to dissipating heat from the MBP?

What a lot of people don't realize is that the narrow gap between the case bottom and the surface it's on is important to cooling. If you put the laptop on a table, the gap is maintained and air can flow between the bottom and the hard surface. When you put it on your lap, or worse, on a sofa or bed, now there is no airflow between the bottom and it won't throw off heat as easily. On your lap it would be better to put it on a board or one of those lap pillows with a hard table top, both of which would preserve the airflow across the bottom of the case.
The worst case scenario would be the laptop on a bed where the blanket or comforter covers not only the bottom, but the large back vent. Then there would be no airflow at all, and nowhere for the accelerating fans to push the hot air.
As far as materials, the current aluminum's pretty good at throwing off heat. The problem is that people don't like aluminum because it gets hot to the touch. But that's because it's moving the heat to the outside, where you can feel it.

Is the apple laptop with 4gb ram and i5 better than other laptop with 6gb ram and i5

is the apple laptop with 4gb ram and i5 better than other laptop with 6gb ram and i5

Well it depends on the age. http://www.everymac.com/ should help you identify the age of the two models.
Apple may use two processors called i5, but newer models have different optimizations than older models.
The processor is usually not the main affect on speed. RAM helps, but barely unless everything is on an SSD already. Hard drive speed is usually the limiting factor of speed on computers. eSATA hard drives with higher RPM can often yield the fastest results because notebook hard drives tend to be slower that are not SSD, but for those you need either Express/34 or Thunderbolt based adapters.

How is SAP MDM better than other tools?

Are Apple routers better than others?

I have wi-fi at my home and I have problems with AirPlay as it sometimes skips.
I'm thinking of buying Time Capsule and I want to know if it's powerfull enough to work in a normal size house and will it solve AirPlay problem?
Is wi-fi on Time Capsule better than on Motorola VIP1003 router?

The broadcast power of all routers is limited by law. Every manufacturer is running their products at 100%, so there will be very little difference between routers of different manufacturers.
If you have having difficulty now, replacing your router with a Time Capsule will likely not solve your problems.
Instead, you will probably need to look for "extending" or "repeating" devices to provide a stronger signal throughout your house....whether you elect to add the Time Capsule or not.

Some commands are not working nor in illustrator nor photoshop, any advice better than Adobe?

Illustrator is not fuctioning at 100%, some commands do not work ( eg - command open, nor place etc ) and same with photoshop....
Any advice

pcmyhre,
You may try the list, possibly starting with item 7) in 5), which is a list of the usual suspects, which may disturb and confuse Illy so she fails to do even simple things.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media, see below. You may have tried/done some of them already; 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.
http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html
External media: It is always recommended here to open/save from/to own hard disk, and to copy from/to networks and removable media. You may be lucky (for a while), but the chances of file corruption and other unpleasantnesses are immensely greater when you use anything but the harddisk, and it is better to be safe than sorry.
In addition to the (far greater) risk of file corruption, some issues are mentioned here:

PATA - 2 drives on own channel better than 2 drives on 1 channel?

I've decided on going with OS X software raid, so I will be using my 2 channel PATA 133 raid card simply as a 2 channel ATA controller. It would be more convenient to put the two drives for my raid 0 on 1 channel, as a master and slave. It occurred to me that putting each drive, as a master, on its own channel (and cable) might improve performance. Does anyone have insights to offer?
Thanks in advance for any comments.

Hi
Since no one else has chimed in - I don't use RAID setups, but it is also better to have each drive as master on it's on channel, anytime you have master/slave you will have slowdowns, since only one drive can be accessed at a time (even if it is millisecs).

Is Apple RAM really better than others?

I believe i may be having memory issues. I have a Spring 2011 iMac. Came with 2 sticks totaling 4G. I replaced with 16G of Corsair. After intermittent lookups I removed half (8G) and things got better but still the occasional FREEZE. I still have Apple care so I took it in. Apple will not even test the memory if it isn't Apple memory. I just found Apple memory for about $58 for 8G. Should I replace my memory with the Apple RAM? The original RAM looks like this:
What the heck is this brand?
I was thinking if I could get 2 Apple 4G sticks and use the original 4G plus the new 8G, I would have a nice 12G of memory. I use FinalCut X a lot and extra memory always helps. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Apple has been using Hynix RAM for years.
iMac's are not all that picky about brand, but they are very picky about the RAM spec's.
as per > iMac (Mid 2011): Memory specifications your 2011 iMac uses PC3-10600 1333 MHz modules.
If the Corsair RAM Modules that you bought are the correct specs? Then you should have no problem install it along with the original factory 4GB and running a total of 20GB.
I would suspect that you are having one of three different problems.
1. The Corsair RAM is not the correct spec and while it works, it is causing errors and does not work when matched up with the factory RAM.
2. The Corsair RAM is the correct spec, but one of the modules is bad. (noting that: the way your holding that Hynix module is liable to damage it)
3. You are not pushing hard enough to fully seat the modules in the slots. (try pushing real hard on each module with both thumbs as you install them)
Going on that I would install the factory modules back in the original slots that they came in and test the iMac. Then if the Corsair modules are the correct spec, install them in the empty slots and test the iMac.
Then if you are still having a problem..? Like many other RAM suppliers, Corsair does have a life time warranty.

Are any aps better than lock & load X for shaky cam

I shot a lot of vacation footage and a fair amount of it is pretty shaky. I've tried the free download for Lock & Load X from Core Melt and it seems to work for some shots but not all. Does anyone know of any other apps out there that are better for shaky camera footage, or is there some aspect of Lock & Load that if applied will make it work better? Thanks for any help--

Also…many people swear by Warp Stabilizer in After Effects. There is a 30 day trial if you would like to evaluate it.
There is also a pretty good stabilizer in Motion ($49), which I think is the same engine that FCP X (meaning the new FCP, not Final Cut Express) uses but with some more controls.

SAP : DMS : Performance , is it better than other Document Mgmt system ?.

Is it possible to find out how is SAP DMS (Doc Management System) u2026is the system is scalable , I mean, is there any performance related issues. Some say, it is ok, some say, it is not upto the mark. We require a positive feedback on the same from you all gurus
Thanks
Amit

Hi,
If performance in terms of storage and speed is the issue in SAP DMS, then you can store files in content server.For this you must have a SAP content server. And you nneed to configure contnt reposotories and storage categories.
If you do not use content servers for storage and retrival of the files, the files will be stored in SAP R/3 database.. If the number of fileas are large, the average file size is large and large nu,mber of usrs regularly retrive files, then the performace will go down. Because the application server which is basically meant for retriving data ( which atr in terms of bytes) will also need to handle the the retrivals of foles also(which are in terms of KBs and MBs).
Using a content server will ease the load of file retriving on application server.

Does PSE 12 work with 16 bit colour channels better than PSE11?

Whilst I am definitely dissapointed that PSE 12 is not a native 64 bit windows application, I might still purchase it if it handles images with 16 bit colour depth fully, which PSE 11 does not.
I cannot find any reference to this anywhere. - Normally this would mean that there is no change.
Does anybody know the definitive answer please?

There is no change.
I don't know why you would need it, but I don't.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1223180
The reason is that if you edit first in ACR, any ulterior 16 bits editing is just an illusion.
On the other hand, don't expect Adobe to introduce much more 16 editing in future PSE versions. They want you to migrate to CC.

SQL Program better than SQL*Plus

Hello
Do you know any program better than SQL*Plus for Oracle Database?
I also know TOAD and SQL Navigator, is there any other
If yes where can I download it ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Kurt.
RoboSource Control to my knowledge hasn't been developed in recent releases. It is essentially the same product that existed years ago. It works, but does not have a lot of users. Most people, including myself, prefer to use third party products such as Perforce, SVN.
As RoboSource Control is an old product and isn't widely used, I doubt whether anyone has tried using it on SQL Server Express 2012. That is not to say it won't work on it though.
