Any experience using one of Verizon's phones as a modem, bluetooth or usb?

My Kyocera slider just died Likely a software corruption according to tech support, and Verizon no longer supports these so they don't have the wares to flash or otherwise fix it. Rather than face a 2-4 week turnaround to sending it to TX + being out $, I must get a new phone.
My difficulty is in finding one which I can use as a data modem, either via Bluetooth or usb data cable. Based on some very informative posts in the archives I have pored over Verizon's selection & eliminated any that are V-Cast. Now I am having difficulty finding a phone that has USB drivers beyond what they make/support for Winders. I'd prefer bluetooth as I can also pair it with my Palm Tungsten T2, but will settle for whatever way I can make this happen. Plus I wanted to see if anyone reading this had luck connecting with any of these phones...
Samsung SCH a870
LG VX 5300
(these are two non-vcast that the CSR pointed me to & both are bluetooth; the rest are gleaned from verizon's website)
Verizon Wireless CDM 180
Verizon Wireless PN 210
LG VX 3450
Nokia 2128i
LG VX 3300
LG VX 5200
Nokia 6236i
Kyocera KX 444
Motorola V 325
LG VX 4700
I prefer to stick it out w/Verizon as data calls are billed against monthly minutes, plus so far as I know it's the only phone I can get even an analog signal from when I go up to remote areas of Maine. If you have read this far thank you & please post any sage advise as well as your 2 cents on any of these phones, other phones I could have success with, where I can get drivers, etc.

I would buy a razr by motorola. It looks cool and has built in Bluetooth.

Panasonic camcorder HDC-TM90 any experience using Pavtube Video Converter with Final Cut Pro X

Does anyone have any experience using Pavtube Video Converter with Final Cut Pro X for Panasonic camcorder HDC-TM90 shooting in 1080 P 60 ( mts file extension)

Don't use these generic offbrand converters to get footage into FCP X. they re-encode your video and cause loss of quality. If FCP X cannot import your video then use a utility that simply re-wraps it into a quicktime file with no transcoding or loss. I prefer Clipwrap which works great and is updated frequently but there are free alternatives like Media Converter or Rewrap.
But version 10.04 of FCP X should import it directly from camera as long as the folder structure is complete and you are not trying to merely import it from single mts files.

Using drobo fs as a file storage external drive? any experience setting one up

I have downloaded the Drobo dashboard software and am getting ready to start using it, but my screen goes blank. I think this is related to the software download and possibly a search for the device which I have not plugged in yet. I have MacAir mid 2013, running OSX 10.9.3, and Drobo Dashboard latest Mac download. Also, I would like to interface through Belkin thunderbolt hub rather than direct connect to MacAir if I could and still get performance. Any assistance is welcomed as I'm still new on OSX and Mac.

A Drobo FS is a network-attached enclosure - it doesn't connect directly to your Mac at all, but to your router, so the Belkin hub would do nothing for you.
I would start by plugging it into the network - I assume you've installed drives for it? - and seeing whether the software connects. You may need to contact Drobo directly if the software fails to connect.

Can I use my old verizon W385 phone from 4 years ago with a prepaid card?

I need to get a phone for my girlfriend for a month and i wondering if i could use a verizon prepaid card with my Motorola w385 phone that i used on my plan several years ago and it is no longer used. So would i be able to activate the prepaid card on it or what?

Yes, that phone is compatible with Prepaid service, but only for the Basic or one of the Daily plans. It is NOT able to go on the $50 unlimited.

Anyone have any experience using this Geil Ultra Platinum PC4000/DDR500

When I purchased my motherboard i did so from Mwave as an bundle package, AMD 64 3000+/MSI Neo4 NF4/SLi/ and basically I choose the only ram they offered cause I wanted them to test everything out before sending it off to me and yeah I was trying to save some money too, stupid me....now I'm buying the memmory I should have and I have 2 sticks I paid for unecessarily and Ill be lucky to recoupe 75% of what I paid for them, the ram I bought with this bundle package was just the plain vanilla Crucial pc3200/ddr400, cl3....actually I was surprized because I was able to get the fsb to 220mhz before it satrted logging errors, this effectively clocked my cpu from stock 1808mhz to 1998mhz, anyway after a suggestion from one of the Msi forum mods here, I went shopping for some pc4000, in a couple of days I will get it, who of you out there run the same ram in a similar system? and what performance( i.e. 260mhz fsb) from your experience can I expect to get from it , my rigs specs are in my sig btw and thanks for any input

Take a look at this list of RAM types and chips used - Memory Database
The AMD64 memory controller seems to like Samsung TCCD / TCCx and some do not like Hynix (which is used in the GeIL Ultra Platinum PC4000). Winbond generally needs higher vdimm voltage which the Neo boards are not good at (mine is max 2.85v).

Any problems using one Apple ID to span across 6+ devices?

Hi everyone (or at least one person with a kind heart),
I am looking for any guidance for my wife and myself. Quick background, we are both long time users of the following devices:
A) Her 4s 32 GB iPhone
B) My 4s 32 GB iPhone
C) Her old iPod
D) My Mini 64 GB iPad
E) Her 64GB iPad
F) Our 256GB Macbook Air
F is the newest member of the family. I originally had a PC Dell which I synced all of the devices to two distinct Windows accounts.
My wife's Windows account & my Windows account. We have two distinct Apple I.D(s).
Everything synced swimmingly on the old Dell. Well, the swimming got rough when my old Dell went kablooey!
Fast-forwad a few days and I swallowed my PC pride and jumped ship to a Macbook. After getting the dreaded "This computer is already associated with an Apple ID" my hunt was on for a solution as I loved my new MacBook. I did not want to revisit the PC world, again. Shortly after, I discovered and joined this-thread-already-in-progress . With no input from Apple, I thought about abandoning the idea and thought - could we (my wife and I) simply merge to one Apple ID, thus resolving the above mentioned warning that "This computer is...blah...blah...blah"?
Our storage consumption is not that large as we have always tended to have very similar libraries. We started the Apple ID's so long ago, we just got lazy and always kept it that way.
Am I not seeing some pitfall that will sour this idea? Meaning, let's say I pitch my wife's Apple ID? And we begin to use only my Apple ID?
1) My immediate concern is that I think both of our Apple I.D.'s are at the maximum of the "5 out of 5" number of device warnings due to all of the various Dell, Thinkpads and now Macbook computers I have owned over the years combined with all of the various iPhone, iPod, iPad models we have owned during the same time.
2) Besides simply picking and choosing the various new purchases under our newly merged Apple ID, is there any other sort of problem that I may not be seeing?
3) Is Apple likely to reset the "5 out of 5" ticker due to all of the above?
4) Oh yeah, I have two Apple TVs. Does that even matter?
Thanks in advance for reading this.

Razor, thank you taking the time to help out! I really mean that. In digesting your scenario and advice, I think I do have at least one question. Am I not remembering the "5 out of 5" warning correctly? You are saying 10 devices but I guess I either read it wrong (very likely) but I thought there was some limit to the number of times you transfer a library of music to a new computer (i.e. not devices)? I easily could be confused here. In reading what you wrote again, Apple wants to limit not the computer housing the library but the devices that are sharing the library? Thus, since I am only at 5 - I am good to go?
In regards to iTunes Match - we both have it (i.e. my wife and myself). So, I am covered there? All I need to do is pick one Apple ID as the "Master ID" (probably my ID), then plug my wife's devices into the MacBook, sync it and then iTunes Match should push-down-from-the-cloud all of her purchases?
That's interesting about iMessage. Not sure if I have my mind wrapped around that entirely, but I will re-read your post again. And in regards to testing my marriage with Apple ID - that rang truer than you could possibly appreciate. Or maybe not?
I probably have more questions just percolating under the surface - so I will likely holler out to you again until you get bored or annoyed with me. Something my wife says is a skill I've perfected.
Thanks again!

Can I use one contacts database for phone and email?

I have a gmail contacts list for email. I also have a phone number database imported from a non-apple cell phone to my iPhone 5c. I find that I'm using the iphone more and more for both phone and email, but I also use my PC for email.
I exported my 300+ gmail contacts using google to a CSV file, cleaned it up, and imported it back to my PC. Of course, it doesn't have the 200+ phone numbers that are in my phone number listing now on my iPhone.
I like working with spreadsheets because of the many utilities to sort, cut/paste, etc. If I take my gmail database, ultimately add phone numbers, and sync in iTunes will it be accessed whenever I want to make a call and also when I want to send an email? I'm hesitant to sync with the new gmail "email only" database for fear of losing all of the many phone numbers in my iPhone. Can I keep my phone numbers temporarily while I edit my master contacts database - maybe by having separate databases on my iPhone for email and phone? I hope to eventually keep a master PC database of all data on all entries and change/reimport as needed.
Thanks for letting me know if this will work, or if there are any cautions that I should heed.

Yes.

Any experience using Aperture Migration Tool?

I've started the migration using the Lightroom Plugin. It seems to be going very slowly. I don't see resource constraints (e.g., CPU utilization < 25%; there remains available physical memory; disk I/O is very low) and my files are all "by reference." It has been running for about 14 hours and it has processed 9% of about 60,000 images. I've noticed it reports it is Building Previews for images that are already in the Lightroom Library, which seems odd. Other than intermittent beeps it is progressing.
Is this similar to that others have had?

Hi Sham,
Based on your description, I'd like to know the version of TFS integration tools you're using and the error details when migrate work items. If you use TFS integration tools 2012, please make sure you have Team Explorer 2012 installed on your server machine.
Please also let us know the configuration you used for the migartion. If you migrate between different domains, make sure the domains have two-way trust relationship. If the issue persists, check the event logs to see if there any useful information and
elaborate more details about your scenario with screenshots.

Any experience using Airport Extreme for dial-up?

Hi,
I just purchased a MacBook, which I love already, but I'm a bit disappointed that they decided to drop the internal modem. Regardless, I'm trying to figure out the best way for me to connect to the internet now (I use dial-up). The $50 external modem seems okay, but the reviews/comments have been lukewarm at best.
Does anyone here use the Airport for dial-up connections? I've never tried doing the wireless thing with my dial-up ISP (which is ISPWest, btw), so I'm curious to see if it's worth doing, given that the connection is already slow to begin with.
Thanks!

Before I got DSL that was how I used my AEBS.
The internet speed (56Kbps) was just as fast as if I was directly connected to the phone line.
I did in fact share the phone connection wirelessly with three computers which was useful.

Anyone got any experience using Flash with the Parse REST API?

Just wondered if anyones used the Parse.com REST API AS3 library ? if so any tips or advice on what it's good or not good for?

It is good to hear that is getting Apple feedback from other sides regarding that network problem. I always thought that this just matters for bigger studios with multiple rooms and network installations and therefore not that a high priority for Apple. It never occurred to me that in a networked school environment that is a big issue and last time I checked Apple pretended to to care about the educational market.
If you really need the network setup to work with Logic and can't wait for Apple to fix it, try to mount the network volumes via the smb protocol instead of the afp protocol. I used it for a while under Logic 7 and it worked, haven't tried it under L8. However keep in mind that are some drawbacks:
Besides minor user interface limitations (color, icons, etc), the main problem is some boneheaded setup in Logic. Get that:
Logic saves the path to any related media file, which is ok, but it saves also the network protocol it uses! If you logged on to a network volume over smb and use an audio file, Logic will save the complete path, something like "smb://MediaVolume/audio/MyGroove.aif". Netx time you mount the MediaVolume drive via afp and open your Logic Project, it won't find that file, or automount that volume again as an smb volume. So now you have the same network volume mounted twice, via afp and smb.
Now you can see why I backed away from that solution.

Do I have to have an apple USB power adapter to charge the ipod or can i use one for a htc phone?

Must I have an Apple USB power adaptor to charge an ipod or can I use the power adaptor from my htc cell phone?

Read the cell phone user manual to see if the charger can charge an iPod Nano.
FYI the usb power charger (AC) does not have to come from Apple. I purchased mine from Macmall.com

Any experience using iPod touch with Onkyo DS-A1x iPod dock?

Just bought Onkyo home theater with DS-A1x iPod dock.
Will test it out tonight, but can't locate any user feedback on
web.
Anyone out there tried this combo?

So far my experience is positive BUT.
The sound of the system is great. It charges the iPod touch just fine.
However, no video so far. Rsearching if cable/connector difference for iPod touch versus other iPods..
Remote functions work generally but the palylist/album swithcing is hard to figure out. Might make more sense with actual video.
Hey - DS-A2X user! How does the video work on yours? Do you see whatever the iPod is deisplaying or only when it pays a video or photo slideshow?
Stay tuned for more developments.

Has anybody had any experience using either mySQL or postgreSQL?

I am currently looking at a project requiring database integration and in addition to the usual suspects (Oracle, SQL Server) I am also interested in mySQL and postgreSQL. Advantages? Disadvantages? Has anybody used these with LV--especially to store BLOBS?

Mike,
Here are the main differences...
MySQL is licensed under the GPL, but for about $400 you can buy a comercial license.
PostgreSQL is licensed under the BDS, which means you don't ever have to pay to use it.
Both have ODBC drivers (myODBC and psqlODBC), so talking to them from LabVIEW is a no-brainer.
PostgreSQL has more features like store proceedures and subqueries, so if you have complex data processing, you can handle them on the server side.
MySQL has fewer features and is probably simpler to administer, but I _think_ that the next version might have subquery capabilities. It's also faster for simple commands.
As far as BLOBs are concerned, here's what I dug up:
In Postgres, Large Objects are very special beasties. You need
to create them using lo_create function and store the result of the function - OID - in a regular table. Later you can manipulate the LOB using the OID and other functions - lo_read/lo_write, etc. Large object support is broken in Postgres - pg_dump cannot dump LOBs; you need to develop your own backup mechanism. Tthe team is working on implementing large rows; this will replace current LOB support.
In MySQL, text and binary LOBs are just fields in the table. Nothing special - just INSERT, UPDATE, SELECT and DELETE it the way you like. There are some limitations on indexing and applying functions to these fields.
I hope this is enough to get you started. I suggest you STFW (Search the Fine Web). You will get many results from "MySQL vs PostgreSQL".
Here are a couple that I found.

Experience Using New Nighthawk AC1900 Wi-Fi VDSL/ADSL Modem Router (D7000-100NAS)

I am getting frustrated with my Netgear 7550 modem/router with attached Netgear WNDR4300 router when playing Xbox. It will often drop connection in the middle of an online game and restart itself. I am considering replacing them with the new Netgear AC1900. I have ATT DSL.I would hate to spend $250 for the AC1900 if it won't solve my problem.

Alsoo there newsletter......i UNLISTED 9 times now and still i get 5-8 spam mails a week.
