Any issues with adding this card to my mac?

I would like to add a card to my mac pro that will enable me to capture video from certain types of HD video cameras.
1. Do I have a slot available to put in one of these cards?
2. Are there any potential issues with doing this?
3. I am guessing that by adding the card, it will create an open port on the back of the mac that will allow me to connect the camera.

I have the Dual-Core Intel XeonProcessor Speed: 3 GHz.
Thanks!!!!

The Intensity HDMI card is normally used to capture UNCOMPRESSED video from an HD vidcam.
Lets say, for example you get a Canon HV20 camera - it has both firewire and HDMI outs. The camera, being HDV, uses HDV compression to write to tape. So once video is on tape, you will be capturing HDV encoded video (just fine with FCP). The HDV standards dictate 1420x1080 even though the sensor of the HV20 is a native 1920x1080. But, since non-square pixels are used, consider it 1920x1080 aspect.
If you hook the HV20 to your Mac Pro using HDMI and the Intensity card, you can capture uncompressed, native 1920x1080 video. However, you better have enormous and extremely fast Raid storage, as it requires sustained data rates roughly, what, 100 times greater than HDV? And you better have a really long extension cord if you plan to use it in the field, as, you must remember, once written to tape it will be compressed HDV video, so the small gain you'll get from native uncompressed 1920x1080 video is only available at the time you shoot, and only out of the HDMI port.
HDV looks stunning as is, so unless you are a professional with special requirements (in which case I've not told you anything you don't already know), you may want to rethink this.
If you shoot well exposed HDV video, and edit with FCP or iMovie HD for that matter, and play back from tape to a 1920x1080i HDTV, it is as good as watching the Discovery Channel HD.
Good luck,

Any issues with NEC ND-3500AG on a Mac Pro?

Back when I first purchased my Mac Pro, one of the first things I did was pop in one of my older drives into the second bay. The drive is a NEC ND-3500AG, now immediately after when running 10.4.7 I had a lot of problems with frequent crashes, kernel panics and such.
Now after the 10.4.8 update, I decided to see if hooking it back up would function properly. So far no problems. Has anyone else had any of the same experiences?
Are there some incompatiblities that aren't public knowledge about this or not?
I'll update this post if I run into some problems.

Errrmmm, sorry about the misunderstanding. I guess I should of specified better.
The NEC ND-3500AG is an optical drive. Its quite common and cheap nowadays. LaCie rebranded their external version the Lacie d2. It offers DVD/CD/DVD-R/DVDR/DVD-RW/DVDRW/DVD DL/CD-R/CD-RW capabilities.
I stuck it in the optical bay so that I wouldn't have to spend an extra $100 (for a $30 drive) on the Mac Pro when I bought it.

I added an iTunes card to my account. THe balance shows on the account, but I can not download, because iTunes has an issue with the debit card linked to the account. Shouldn't it default to the balance from the card I added?

iTunes keeps telling me my debit card is declined, when I am trying to use an iTunes card that I added today. The amount from the iTunes card shows on the account.

You need to fix the issue with the credit card on the iTunes account or you can remove the credit card.

Part 2: Flat files and Business Contents: Any issues with this scenario?

I will appreciate some clarification on the some points made in response to my previous post "Flat files and Business Contents: Any issues with this scenario?"
1.
" ...youd better analyze those cubes for data redundancy and presence of data youll never use. " I will appreciate some clarification on the type of analysis you are referring to. Examples will help.
2.
"If you want to combine several found IOs in your custom dataprovider, then again you must know (or figure out) relationships between these IOs." I will appreciate some clarification on the type of relationship you are referring to. Examples will help.
3.
I am a bit confused with "..include into ODS structure ALL fields required for the cube" but you also noted noted that "...except navigational attributes and chars and KFs that are going to be determined in TRs or URs."
If you exclude ALL these, haven't you excluded all the fields you included in the ODS structure?
4.
"Consider carefully the ODS key fields selection. Their combination should not allow data aggregation that you dont need."
I may be missing the point here, I understand that you need to select the fields which will form the unique ID for the records in the ODS under the Key Field (please correct me if I am wrong with the purpose of the Key Field), but I don't understand the discussion of "aggregation" in the context.
Thanks in advance

Hallo
I try to give some exaplanation based on the previous answer.
1. Data redundancy - make sure you do not store the same information. does not make sense to have data redundanty across you Data Warehouse. this is also a cost. just sotre the same information one time if you get all what you need.
2. whatwhever you build you dp, which consist of IO, you need to know with kind of relation (1:1 or 1:n - n:n and so on) exist between them. that will help you when you model you infoprovider. For example I would never pit togheter IO (n:m) in the same dimension if you expect an high number of cardinality. Sometime an IO can be an attribute of another one (depend on relation. For example
Business Partner and his Address. Usually you have a relation 1:1, in this case address is an attribute of BParten and store it in the Masterdata instead then DP
3. Sometime when you load from ODS to CUBE, you can fill some IO (which are in the infocube and not in the ODS)through ABAP routine in TR-Start Routine of Update Rule. Does not make sense to include these IO in the ODS as they are NULL or Blank (the deault value). This can happen when for example, you first load in the ODS (Price and Quantity) and then you calculate Sell price later (Price * Quantity). of course it could be doen also in the Bex. Depends on other factors (Performance - Loaidng -Sizing)
4. Make sure that the KEY definition of ODS is accordingly to the data otherwise you will aggregate the data and later maybe if you need the detail you miss it.
for example: customer - product - Distr Chan - Sell Price
if each Customer can buy each product for any Distrution Channel, then when you build your ODS(Customer - Product and Distribution must be KEY) otherwise (if you have only Customer - Product KEY for example) you will lose the details for Distribution Channel.
I hope eveyrhting is clear

I would like to buy a developer license to use on a mac at a public library from a flash drive any issue with this?

I would like to buy a developer license to use on a mac at a public library from a flash drive any issue with this? Very new to this

The license is for the Developer not the machine it is run on However there could be soma issues with trying to develop on a public machine.
The biggest is does the library machine have or will they let you install and run Xcode and if you are developing for IOS will they let you plug in your devices?
In addition will they allow you the hours needed on the machine? Most public machines have a time limit especially if there are others waiting to use it.
All-in-all in can be done but it won;t be an easy situation.
good luck

I have installed the agent 10 or 15 times and one installation has failed, no error appeared during the installation but I am having inconsistent issues with my ethernet card not working here and there. We rebooted and can log into Novell client but the login prompt did not appear for ESM client or the icon was not in the systray. Everything seems to work, besides at times (a couple times today) it terminates his ethernet card/connection. I would re-image his computer but he has several applications and it would take several hours, so I am hoping someone has an idea to fix this issue. So I was trying to figure out why he did not get the prompt to login and why it's not in the systray and it appears to not have completed the install? I checked the add/remove programs, its not listed within their, I also checked the registry and found nothing for endpoint within their, but the files are within c:\program files\novell\zenworks endpoint security.
I have also tried uninstalling it but that fails due to it "not being installed", and it will not reinstall over itself either.
I did notice that stuninstdrv.exe is running in task manager. Any help would be great...

If you are searching the registry, check for the "Senforce" string. It should be at HKLM\Software\Senforce
Try running the install program for the ZSC with the following command line:
setup.exe /V"STUNINSTALL=1"
If you've specified an uninstall password, try this one instead:
setup.exe /V"STUNINSTALL=1 STUIP=password"" (please note the double quote at the end)
Let me know if that helped you.

Any issues with PE7 and Windows 7?

Hi All,
I am considering purchasing a second computer. I have had great success with PE7 and Vista, But I can't get Vista on the new Alienware I want to buy. So, has anyone had any issues with PE7 and Windows 7? I have read many posts where there are issues with PE8 and Windows7.
Thanks, Stan

It's a toshiba laptop.
4 gig DDR3
core duo
320 hard drive - partitioned
I also use a dual screen - 22" lcd monitor
I don't use it a lot, since I have a desktop. I've noticed having a
dedicated video card makes a world of difference in editing. This might be
your problem; a dedicated high end video card is the way to go.
If I do simple compilations I don't have any problems. I usaully am making
a DVD of soccer games. If there is a lot of special effects I'll use my
desktop that has XP.

Issues with a Credit Card Machine using a VG202

Has anyone run into any issues with using CC machines with using SCCP on a VG202?
Setup: 2 CC Machines--> VG202 --> connecting to Call Manager 8.6 using DHCP. Both of my CC machines work fine doing a normal CC transaction, but at the end of the day the client runs a batch report on the cc machine but the cc machine will time out after 1 min. The Batch report usually takes about 3 to 4 mins to complete.

Thank you!
Adding "network-clock-select 1 T1 0/0/0" to the config resolved the issue. No more slips and credit card machine runs smoothly now.
I very much appreciate your assistance.

Issues with games, video card issue?

Hi,
I have been having issues with games lately. Mostly they are hidden object games from Big Fish, but they start up then minimize, it doesn't crash completely just minimizes, I click on it again and it works for a few seconds and minimizes itself again and again. I am unable to play the games because it keeps minimizing. could this be an issue with my video card? I have attempted updating it but it doesn't seem to help. Any ideas?

Ok OK, Update...
the games work perfectly on my father's HP which runs windows 7...so it definatly is NOT because of not updated stuff....I really dont know what else to do at this point....no suggestions from anyone?!?!?!

Any issues with still images being too large?

I am going to be given lots of images that were scanned at a high resolution (I think 300), so the file size and physical dimensions should be pretty large. I want to start placing these images into the timeline, even though I do not know yet which ones I will need to zoom in on and which I will not need to do anything with other than just have it display.
1.) Are there any issues with placing lots of images like these into the timeline of a SD project at a higher resolution and larger physical dimension than maybe necessary?
2.) If I want to use placeholder images, is there an easy way to later swap them with the real image, and have the swapped image take the properties of the placeholder image, such as the duration it lasts on screen and the fade transition before and after it?
Thank you.

1.) Are there any issues with placing lots of images like these into the timeline of a SD project at a higher resolution and larger physical dimension than maybe necessary?
This is dependent on the version of FCP. If you're working with FCP 5.1.2 or later, still image processing is handled by the GPU. Depending on what graphics card you've got, it can be painfully slow even at SD resolutions because image size (pixel dimensions, not bit-depth) is what is relevant.
2.) If I want to use placeholder images, is there an easy way to later swap them with the real image, and have the swapped image take the properties of the placeholder image, such as the duration it lasts on screen and the fade transition before and after it?
In theory, you should be able to do a Paste Attributes and paste Contents but that functionality has been broken since FCP 5.x. It works, but not for the very thing that you'd need it to do - both images now need to be the same size, duration and matching timecode for this to work correctly in your case.
However, you might be able to work around that limitation by trying this:
Select your placeholder image in the timeline and copy (Commmand-C)
Load your final image into the Viewer and press F11 to perform a Replace Edit.
Be mindful of where your Playhead is in both the Viewer and Timeline, of course, as the Replace Edit uses the Playhead and not marked In or Out
Select the newly replaced image and perform a Paste Attributes (Option-V), selecting the relevant attributes (Basic Motion, Crop, etc)
Of course, this might not suit what you're looking to do since stuff like Center is pixel-based rather than percentage-based (like Crop is).

Any issues with using LDAP on LINUX for GRC 5.2 UME?

Our company is converting our LDAP servers from AIX to LINUX. The DNS name used in our UME connection should not change. Are there any issues with using LDAP on LINUX? We are currently on GRC 5.2 SP9 (in the middle of upgrading to SP12).
Also, I have been trying to connect our test UME system to a test LDAP box that has already been converted to LINUX but keep getting a 'connection failed' error when I try to test it.
Do you have to reboot the server to test changing the LDAP connections? I've been trying it by going into UME, pulling up the LDAP tab, hitting the Modify button, entering the new userid and password for test LDAP, and hitting the Test Connection button. I've verified that this userid and password is correct for test LDAP.
Is there a way to get more information about why the connection failed?
Thanks.

I've been told by our LDAP Support group that none of the other configuration settings should have to be changed. I should only have to change the id and password to connect to a test version of LDAP instead of our regular connection to the production LDAP.
Can you test a connection for a different userid/password without having to reboot/restart the server? Do I need to change these two settings, save then, reboot/restart, and then do the Test Connection button?
Thanks.

I have a MacBook 5,1 (13.3" aluminum from 2007 or 2008). Automatic updates will only let me get to OSX 10.5.8. Can I upgrade to Snow Leopard, Lion 10.6 or even 10.6.8? Also, will I have any issues with my iPhone if it's updated to iOS 7.1?

The 10.6 Snow Leopard DVD is in the Apple online store. You can get it for $19.99. You will need to be running 10.6.8 to access the App Store to order Lion or Mountain Lion. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
System Requirements for 10.6:
Mac computer with an Intel processor
1GB of memory
5GB of available disk space
DVD drive for installation
Some features require a compatible internet service provider: fees may apply.
You can upgrade direct from 10.6.8 to 10.8 Mountain Lion without going through 10.7 Lion with the Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody. The Model 5,1 will probably run 10.9 Mavricks when it comes out.
10.8 Mountain Lion is a download from the App Store, the price is $19.99.
Mountain Lion will require at least 2gb of RAM but really needs 4gb to run smoothly.
As for third party programs see this list for compatibility with 10.8 http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
Also Mountain Lion doesn't run any Power PC programs. To see if you have any Power PC programs go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up select Applications under Software. Then look under Kind to see if any of your applications are listed as Power PC. Universal and Intel will run under Mountain Lion.
Before Mac switched to Intel processors in 2006 they used Power PC processors from 1994 to 2005. Power PC 601 through 604, G3, G4 and G5. Applications written for the Power PC processors need the application called Rosetta to run on Intel processors. This was part of the Operating System in 10.4 and 10.5 but was an optional install in 10.6. With 10.7 Lion Apple dropped all support for Power PC applications.
