Anyone had success re-matching an incompletely matched album?

iTunes Match did a reasonably decent job matching my music. The main exceptions seem to be where iTunes has a remastered version and I had a rip from a pretty old CD.
On the other hand, I have a lot of cases where every song on an album but one or two matched. It seems incomprehensible.
Has anyone had success getting a later match in that case? I've tried deleting the song from iCloud and re-adding it to iTunes, but it just uploads again.

I've been looking at this some and it seems to be a combination of song length and price of song that throws off the matching. For albums that were only partially matched, when I look at the iTunes version vs my version, often times my version is a few seconds longer / shorter (due to the CD conversion process adding / subtracting seconds) or the iTunes song has a different price than the other songs on the album. (like $1.29 vs $.99 for the rest). The last song on a album is most likely for me not to be matched, probably because CD conversion may sometimes add length to the last song.
I'm not saying this is right or how to fix it, I just think that's what is going on. The only thing I'm sure of that's it's NOT taking into account the ALBUM NAME (since I change many of mine and I still get matches). I also do not think it's doing any type of audio fingerprint match as that would take WAY too long to do on large libraries - even a 5 second sample on my 13,000 song library would take about 18 hours not counting transmission time). So it looks like song name, artist, song length and PRICE (for some reason) are the important factors for match.

I just started playing Warcraft quite a bit on my MBP 2008 15". I customized my MBP pretty nice with 4GB RAM, etc.
I have generally had no problems. In fact, my MBP performs better than the rather nicely spec'd PC I used to run Warcraft on. I can set the Warcraft video settings pretty high and still get at least decent framerates. Crowded cities the FR goes down to maybe around 20 which is no biggie - where you want your FR's good is in instances/raids. My FR's in those go way up to 50-70...smooth, even with effect settings pretty high and max resolution on my external monitor I'm running the game on.
My MBP will indeed get hot, fans whir, etc. Especially in cities. I ordered one of those Zephr's or whatever their called - a fan/heatsink built for MBP's to sit on to keep them a bit cooler. That should arrive soon.
In the meantime I've been propping up my MPB off the desk service so that it gets plenty of air circulation underneath it...that seems to help with the heat actually quite a bit.

Has anyone had success using NI PCI cards at -20C? My specific needs are for RS-422/482 and GPIB cards.

NI cards have been qualified to operate only to zero degrees C. I need serial abd GPIB PCI cards that operate to -20C for military application. Has anyone had success using these cards at this lower operating temperature?

Hi,
I am not sure if this helps, but the ENET-232 is spec'd to operation at -40 degrees C.

The Juniper VPN is a SSL-based VPN solution whereas the native client supports L2TP and PPTP only - in other words they're completely different beasts.
That said, you shouldn't have any issue connecting to the SSL-VPN. I do it almost daily. You may need to be running the latest (or at least, recent) software on the Juniper box, though - earlier versions of the Juniper software had problems.

Has anyone had success using SharePoint and FrameMaker 10 together using CMS?

Has anyone had success using SharePoint and FrameMaker 10 together using CMS?

Thanks for reminding to at least update the results thus far.
Update 4:
I did get quite a bit of support initially although slowly over a period of a month or so. After Adobe FM support and my SharePoint systems engineer reviewed how FM10 was setup on my computer (which I am the admin for our department’s SP site) and how it interfaces with our SharePoint 2010 Enterprise Edition, there was two conclusions:
Basically Adobe FM Support said that FM10 did not support claims-based authentication and they can no longer help me. They said it will work with FM11 when it comes out.
My SP Systems Engineer, said that FM10 is connecting to SP 2010 just fine but that the FM10 has a software glitch that causes FM10 lose control when executing checkout procedure within FM10. I can checkout and edit that same file in SP with no problems.
About a month later, I upgraded to FM11 and ran into the same problem. I attempted to get Adobe FM Support to help and they said they will look into and get back to me. That was in July and I have not heard anything more from them, and to be honest, my schedule has been extremely busy the last 5 months that I have not had time to pursue it any further.
Needless to say, I was very disappointed with the SP interface and, overall, the lackluster support I received from Adobe. Having a working SP interface was one of the criteria for purchasing TCS3.5 (and subsequent upgrade) in the first place.
One thing of note, we migrated from SP 2007 to SP 2010 in February 2011 and, at the time of Adobe support, I still had access to my SP 2007 site. FM10 and FM11 had to no issues working with SP2007. Unfortunately, SP 2007 is not an option for me anymore.
Also, another observation of FM10/11 not working with SP 2010, it seems that FM10/11 is automatically configured to work with SharePoint Drafts folder locally when connecting to the SharePoint library. This worked just fine with SP 2007 but SP 2010 does not use SharePoint Drafts folder locally the same way (the programming changed, don’t recall where I saw it, probably when searching this issue online) and I suspect that is one of the main issues why it does not work correctly.
So at this time, I have not found a working solution to this problem.

Has anyone had success in getting Apple to correct Maps mistakes?

On multiple occasions I've submitted a correction using the function within Maps to report errors, but nothing is ever done. Has anyone ever had any success in getting Apple's attention and getting something fixed? Or is the submitting a correction feature just a black hole? I've had to tell friends with iPhones to always use Google Maps rather than Apple to navigate their way to my house because Maps has completely mislabeled the street outside my development. It sure would be nice if they had a human being you could call...

Has anyone had success in running Bootcamp along side vmware Fusion?

The only program I need windows for is Autodesk REVIT (A 3D CAD House modeling program) I use my mac for everything else.
REVIT takes up alot of memory and needs a decent video card to run well. When I tried using bootcamp, the program (REVIT) ran smoother than any windows platform we had, but I had no access to any of my mac programs without shutting down and rebooting.
I tried running vmware fusion and starting my bootcamp partition but everytime I switched from bootcamp to fusion, my windows said I had some major hardware changes and I needed to re-register my windows license. the license issue was also occuring with REVIT.
I'm wondering if anyone else has had these problems. I am willing to reinstall my windows partition to make it so I can switch from FUSION to BOOTCAMP smoothly. I use BOOTCAMP when I am in crunch mode and FUSION when I want to use my mac applications the same time as REVIT.
Any help would be appreciated. THANKS

I haven't had any trouble with Fusion and Boot Camp. I think activation does need to occur once on each side (once in Fusion and once in Boot Camp). Windows use the MAC address of your NIC to determine the hardware, and Fusion generates a MAC for the the virtual NIC that is obviously different from the MAC of your actual NIC in your Mac.
I bought MacDrive so that I could have access to my HFS partition of my hard drive when booted into Windows. The product works great, but also complains about activation when run in Fusion. MacDrive doesn't seem to want to stay activated in both Fusion and Boot Camp at the same time, so I leave it activated via Boot Camp and not activated for Fusion, since I can use Shared Folders instead. (that and it still seems to work anyway).
What did you mean by "crunch mode"? On a deadline? Is that because your software is too slow when running XP with Fusion? It seems like running XP through Fusion is the way to go for you 97% of the time, so I would worry about getting your CAD software going in Fusion and not worry so much about Boot Camp.
Best of luck.

NI PXIe-1620Q - has anyone had success writing device drivers for Fedora 15? I am trying to control a PXI-6509.

I am using Fedora-Core 15 with kernel, 2.6.43.8_1.fc15.i686. I am trying to use NI-KAL ver 2.1 which does not support my version. But it compiles, the nikal driver loads correctly. But after a rebboot it crashes.
Has anyone built any version of NI-KAL that will work with FC15? or via the DDK?

Hi p_borras,
Is there a specific error associated with the crash you are experiencing?

Has anyone had success in excluding unsubscribe activity from overall engagement scoring?

We've just implemented both individual and account scoring. We have found that several of the individuals are scoring high because they have unsubscribed from our database. An unsubscribe requires: an email click, a website visit and a form submission. We've not found a good way to exclude these particular activities from overall scoring. Does anyone have any recommendations?

The only way that I'm aware this can be done is to actually build out your scoring in Program Builder (E9 style), not inside the native E10 model.

Has anyone had success connecting 3 monitors with a Matrox TripleHead2Go?

I have a Matrox TripleHead2Go Digital Edition external monitor box but have had no luck getting it to work with 3 monitors on Mountain Lion.
First I managed to get it to drive two monitors, except there seemed to be no way to split them into separate monitors, as claimed in the advertising.
Then I got a 3rd monitor and connected it to the box and reconfigured the software. That is when the problems started. For a short time, it displayed on all 3 but with very low resolution, 600x800. When I tried changing the resolution then it would only display on one monitor through Output 1. That is a much as I have managed. I tried many times trying different settings, each time waiting 5 minutes each time. I have uninstalled and re-installed several times, tried different combinations for monitors. Nothing helps.
So I am wondering whether just to give up and use it as a paperweight and assume only PCs can use multiple monitors?

Trying to use a THTG digital (DVI) with a 2014 MBP retina.
Although it isn't supposed to work it does, although the matrox configuration tool is very annoying, keeps rebooting the machine, and I ultimately failed to connect 3 devices.
It is happy run 2 pico projectors at 1280x720@60x2, no problem. Insists on them being in ports 1 and 3.
Trying to connect a 3rd normal sized projector via VGA, resolution changes to 1280x720@50 and the picos won't work with it. Keeps asking to reboot OSX and not setting the resolution asked 1280x720@60x3, keeps setting 50hz.
I have moved from using Ubuntu on a dell laptop to OSX, and I really miss the power of xrandr to configure from the command line. This was my bible for several years: http://www.brandon-harris.com/ubuntu/dualhead2go/triplehead2go/2011/02/01/matrox -dualhead2go-triplehead2go-on-ubuntu-with-ati-amd.html

Has anyone had success with the VMWare adapter in 5.3.1?

We are trying to use the VMWare adapter to control the powerstate of our VMs.
Issues we are having specific to the adapter:
1. Tried passing a group variable in the Virtual Machines dropdown on the VMWare tab. The job launched, but didn't do anything, so we cancelled it.
2. We then tried to run a shutdown job on one of the VMs, but received the error: "Unable to launch task, because another task is already running on this VM "
3. The only way to get the job to run was to stop and start the adapter connection, which won't be possible in Prod.
4. We were able to run the shutdown job, and the VM shutdown, but the job stayed active until our job event to cancel after max runtime triggered.
5. We then tried running our Power Off job with the "skip if already in expected power state" flag set. The job ran anyway and completed abnormal. We are wanting to run this second step as we have seen instances where gracefully shutting down a VM doesn't work.
Are these issues that other folks have experienced?
Michelle

I worked with Cisco/Tidal to investigate the issues. We were able to "resync" Tidal and the ESX server by making sure no VM jobs were running in Tidal and disabling the connection. We waited 20 minutes and then enabled the connection. We waited until the connection went green and requested the powerstate and Tidal reflected the same state as VCenter. We are not receiving the 'task running' message any longer.

Has anyone had success with Messaging Server 5.2 under Windows 2000 Server?

Just to be up front - we MUST use Windows 2000 - they're not giving me a choice to move to Solaris or Sun Hardware. Linux isn't even a choice, nor is WinNT. (I know, it's annoying).
I've managed to get Directory Server 5.1 to run under windows 2000 without active directory installed. I found that I needed to modify the ims_dssetup.pl script that comes with the Messaging Server 5.2 to reference the full path to my ldapsearch and ldapmodify executables. Apparently, this is a win2k specific problem, and is not necessary on WinNT. This made ims_dssetup.pl work and the install of Messaging Server 5.2 work on a windows 2000 machine.
However, at reboot, the job controller and dispatcher do not automatically start. When I try to start the services manually, I get "Error 1067: The Service terminiated unexpectedly".
Any ideas? I'm desperate here - they're gonna make us use exchange if I can't get >>something<< working. Even a 4.x version of messaging server will do.
Thanks

Well, I do understand that.
However, I've installed iMS 5.2 on win2k several times (I admit, w2k pro, not server), and i've never installed AD.
If you can get it installed and working for your default domain, but not for other domains, then most likely it has nothign to do with AD or AD domains. iMS idea of domains is very different from AD's idea of domains. We need to be very clear about such.
for iMS, you have to create additional domains through Delegated Admin, as either "Hosted Domains" or as "Vanity Domains". We do not suggest using "Vanity Domains", and support for such is deprecated.
Once you have created "Hosted Domains" through Delegated Admin, you can add users to those domains, and they should work, just fine.
