Anybody had experience with Audigy2 PCMCIA + PCMCIA to PCI adapter?

I have been using my Audigy 2 ZS (PCMCIA) on a laptop as a media center for a looong time, but the laptop died and I'm using a cheap desktop for it.
The built-in soundcard lacks luster and I want to use my Audigy in it, but I'll be needing a PCI to PCMCIA adapter. Because the Audigy 2 ZS was so picky about the Cardbus adapter it was connected to, I want to know of other peoples' experiences on doing the same thing.
Has anyone else connected their Audigy 2 ZS - laptop into a desktop using a PCMCIA-to-PCI adapter? Which brand/model and how did it work out?
Thank you.

Refurbished iMac...anybody have experience with quality level?

I am considering buying a new machine and buying a refurbished product to save a few bucks. Has anybody out there had experience with the level of quality on these machines? Thanks!

Welcome to the discussions!
While I do not have a refurbished iMac, my BlackBook is a refurb and has been performing very well since I bought it back at the end of June.
It came in the plain brown box, but everything arrived in flaweless condition and it even smelled new.
Since it comes with the same one year warranty that a new unit does and you still have the option to extend that to three years with AppleCare, they are a great deal.
Bmer has a friend that received a bend MacBook Pro (or maybe it was a PowerBook) that Apple promptly arranged for a repalcement, but that is the exception rather than the rule. By and large you will receive a unit that is every bit as good as a new one, but save money.
Another thing to mention is that some users report receiving upgrades at no additional charge. Apple advertises the base configuaration and then ships out that they have in stock. That may mean extra RAM or a larger hard drive, but do not count on it. For that reason, I sugest waiting to receive your MB before ordering any upgrades.

Has anyone here had experience with a Sony NEX-VG10/E m2ts file?

A recently created file with this video camera, and importing its m2ts file into Permiere Pro CS5 is proving offering disappointing rsults. The images are fuzzy and there is a great deal of what appears to be interlace issues. If it were not for other programs playing these files very clearly I would dismiss them as coming from an inferior camera.
Is there anyone here who has had experience with these files and editing them in PPCS5?
The file in question is shown as being a "File type: TS(AVC) Format" and the "Image size is 1440 x 1080"
Hoping to hear from someone.
Cheers,
Michael

Thank you
Forgot all about that one - i.e. Playback - Full Resolution

Anybody got experience with Hitachi Deskstar 7K750?

Hi,
I'm finally about to get my iMac a bigger harddrive. I've been looking at Seagate's 750gb drive, but i read Anandtech's review of Hitachi's 7k1000 harddrive and as far as i understood they were quite positive about it. After looking into 7K1000 i noticed that they also have the 7K750, which is 750GB.
I was wondering if anybody knows or has any experiences with this 7K750 harddrive?
If anybody has insights or experiences of the other above mentioned harddrive i'd gladly hear from you. Which would you get and why?
Thanks for your help!

When you have spamassassin of os x server already running it is simple to upgrade spamassassin. I never had any problems - tested on three tiger - mailservers.
Simply follow the instructions on http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/spamassassin/branches/3.1/INSTALL and upgrade on 3.1.3 (it reports itself as 3.001003) using the terminal and the perl-helper-app MCPAN .
When doing this the first time you may respond to the questions asked, but you can also choose you are not ready for a manual configuration. This does not interfere with amavis, clamav or anything else.
Worst thing that could happen is that you need to install the most recent perl-libraries on which spamassassin is dependent on...

Anybody had luck with there wifi greyed out after update to IOS 7

I've been trying all sorts to get my wifi working on my iphone 4s, been searching the internet to solutions, turning airplane mode on and reseting network settings - didn't work, reseting all settings - didn't work. Some have said that if you erase all content and data, basically a factory reset turning it back into what it was when you got it out the box works, but it doesn't, for starters it still doesn't go back to IOS 6 (what it would of been out the box), its still IOS 7, when you go into setting/general/about section and look at the wifi there is no wifi address. Has anybody had any luck with solving it, tried going through apple but they say because its out of warrenty i've got to pay for a repair, seen as its happened ever since putting IOS 7 on my phone, i see that as apple broke my phone, so they should fix it for free.

This is almost always a hardware problem that requires repair or replacement of the phone. Downgrading to iOS 6 wouldn't help, even if you could. There's a small chance that it can be fixed by following the suggestions in this support article:
iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim
FYI, do not try the "freezer" or "hairdryer" methods you may see posted. At best they are temporary fixes and are very likely to cause additional damage to the phone...

There's no reason for a standard external USB hard drive enclosure not to work on a Mac. The technology is an industry standard. As you don't link to the specific item, we can't say anything about the quality, ect... but I guess for $1 you don't have much to loose. So long as you're sure the drive you have is an older IDE drive (as most drive for the past few years have been SATA). I guess that may be why they're selling so cheap as IDE drives are pretty rare in notebooks anymore.

VigiMac, anybody any experience with it? Or other theft software?

Cisco PCMCIA card & TI PCI adapter

Hi,
I have to install a Cisco PCMCIA 350 card (AIR-PCM352) on a desktop PC running Windows XP Pro sp2.
To do that I use a PCI adapter with Texas Instruments PCI 1410 chipset but it doesn't work because the system recognize the card as MTD-002.
Is there anyone who has the same problem or has resolved that?
Is there anyone who can write me a PCI adapter that can work with the Cisco PCMCIA card?
Thanks in advance

Anyone had experience with 5D firmware 2.0.3, EOS Movie Plugin?

I just downloaded it. How does it work in terms of bringing in new 5D movies to Final Cut?

HI H.
If you are not familiar with using FCP's Log and Transfer interface then the process will be a strange new experience for you ... but a good one, I hope Following the introduction of the E1 Movie plugin there were a number of good workflow walkthroughs posted for folks in your position .. here are a few links to get you started:

ANybody have experience with EVENT 20/20bas studio monitors?

I am looking at a mint condition pair of these monitors. I am wondering what anyone has to say about them. Worth seriously looking at? Best I can ascertain is these sell for around $900? They may be a year or two old, so the current model might be an upgrade from these. Any advice would be appreciated.

Unless you absolutely CANNOT do without monitors right now, if all you can spend is $500/pair, I'd wait.
It has been my experience that for $500, you can get a nice upgrade from monitoring on stereo speakers. And yes, there are some good deals in that range (the KRK RP5s aren't bad, neither are the Yorkville YSM1s).
BUT...
...you get SOOO much more from a $1000/pair set like the Dynaudio BM5A. The improvement in stereo imaging and sonic detail is really massive.
My opinion (for what it's worth) is that monitors are one of a very few areas in which you cannot afford to skimp. Microphones and preamps are two others. Converters? There's always going to be a better set coming out tomorrow. But a U47 into a Neve will always be a U47 into a Neve. Basically, if its analog, its based on physics, and you can't improve the laws of physics. A good mic, pre, or monitor will last you for 20 years or more.
So, if you NEED the monitors now, I'd recommend the KRK RP5 (or RP6 if you need a bigger woofer, but the RP5s sound nicer) or the Yorkville YSM1s.
Otherwise, save your pennies for something you can grow with .

Anybody had problems with notes

I had my ipad replaced and since then anything I do in Notes after a day seems to delay. Has anybody got any ideas?

Delay should say delete

My iohone5 signals incoming call. Then, immediately Blocked Call is displayed! With no further information re caller. I have just switched from iPhone 4 and never had experience with Blocked Call! Message . How can I at least find out who or what blocked

MY iPhone 5 keeps blocking incoming phone calls with a message "call blocked" there is no addition information on who/what is being blocked or why. I have just transitioned from iPhone 4 to 5 and never had this happen before. Does anyone else have this problem? How does one find out what/who is being blocked?

If a user has blocked their caller ID there's nothing you can do but either answer the call or don't.
This is NOT a problem, this is how blocked calling works.

Has anybody had problems with DVD's burnt with Optiarc drive

I am burning movie DVD's through iDVD. The movie formats are initially QT with PCM sound encoding. They seem to work well on an old Samsung DVD player, but stutter on a brand new Samsung computer. I do understand it could be a problem with the newer computer, but I would like to hear if anyone else has had any problems so I can see if the problem is more widespread.

I too am having trouble playing DVDs burned with my Optiarc drive. Sorry I don't have the solution, but I can add a data point to the story about problems with DVDs burned with Optiarc.
My current hardware: mid-2007 24" iMac, built-in Optiarc DVD RW AD-5630A with firmware 1AHM / MMC-3.
My scenario: after making home movies with iMovie '08 and iDVD '08, I either burn to DVD (TDK 16x DVD-R 4.7 GB) straight from iDVD or I save as disc image from iDVD and then burn the disc image from Toast 9. In either scenario, I can play the DVD on my iMac or any other Mac or Windows computer. However, it will not play on my Xbox (original Xbox, not the 360) because it freezes when trying to mount (sometimes the Xbox will not recognize the disc as a DVD, and sometimes it will begin mounting the disc and then freeze before displaying the title menu).
Before I bought my new iMac, I had the same workflow on an older 2003 17" G4 iMac that has a Sony DVD burner, and those discs play fine on all DVD players including my Xbox. To test the hypothesis that something happened to my Xbox around the time that I upgraded to my mid-2007 24" iMac, I burned several DVDs using my older iMac, and they continue to mount and play fine on the Xbox. On both my older and newer iMac, I have Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard installed, same version of Toast 9, and I burn at the slowest speed (2x) on both. So it seems that the problem can be isolated to the Optiarc DVD burner, but I'm not sure if there are other factors at play here.
I searched the Optiarc site (www.sonynec-optiarc.com) but could not find a firmware update for the AD-5630A. However, I did find this site via Google:
Liggy's and Dee's modified NEC and Optiarc firmwares
http://liggydee.cdfreaks.com/page/en/Optiarc-AD-5630A/
Because I was not sure about the site's reputation or validity of the firmware, I have not tried it yet.

Has anybody had problems with mavericks working with adobe cs4?

I just found out that my cs4 adobe suite is not compatible with the nifty upgrade to Yosemite.
I don't know how to un-do it and I don't know if it would be any better if I updated again to mavericks?
Anybody? Help?

I am running Adobe CS3 with Yosemite, so any problem you are experiencing is not an OS compatibility issue.
What happens when you try to open an app like Photoshop CS4?
