Anyone have any info on the 32-64 bit startup selector app?
was wondering if anyone has any good or bad experiences using this app http://www.ahatfullofsky.comuv.com/English/Programs/SMS/SMS.html
I have seen it on MacUpdate but am a little hesitant to mess with system stuff. Any ideas?
I don't use it as i don't see any benefit in booting in 64bit kernel but all such apps are pretty much the same they are simply front ends to a couple terminal commands that let you set defaults for which kernel you boot. as such any app like this should be safe to use provided your mac can boot in 64-bit mode.

Anyone have any info about the release of photoshop elements 13?
What new features, and when released this new version
thank you for your answersAnyone who would know would be under NDA, so your guess is as good as anyone's at this point.

Besides the obvious, does anyone have any info. as to what this means:"Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired."
what do you mean by the obvious?, it's a permission issue, ARD must run as systems administrator to boardcast, tunnel IPv6 calls, etc.

Time Machine will not let me restore from backups after June, 2013. I can see the files on the external hard drive but Time Machine skips all of them and goes back to June, 2013. Does anyone have any idea what the problem is?

telling me to buy a new router is NOT a solution.
And why not? Apple is selling these things like BigMacs. They can't make enough of them. You've been suffering since May because you refuse to get a decent router.
Can you imagine if a company that makes a refrigerator told me that I needed to upgrade my electrical system to rectify a problem with their device? What kind of response IS that?!?!
What if the problem with their device is that it requires a new-fangled "grounded" outlet and your circa 1890 house doesn't have grounded outlets. Would you refuse to purchase a $ 25 adapter on principle? -
My iPad2 has repeatedly refused to update to iOS7, whether connected to a PC or not. The error message indicates an unknown error has occurred, with error code 6. Does anyone have any idea what the problem might be and how to solve it? Many thanks.
Hi
I followed this guy's instructions and it worked:
http://evsiphone.blogspot.com/2009/05/iphone-iphone-could-not-be-restored.html
I did disable the security (AVG and Zone Alarm) when I tried on my own PC. My wife's laptop which eventually got it working also uses AVG and Zone Alarm but on an XP O/S whereas my PC is Vista - maybe this is why.
Cheers for you help.

I have an early 2008 Mac Pro, 8 gb ram with a Dell 27” display and a 42” LG TV. I am thinking about upgrading the stock ATI Radeon 2600 graphics card for better resolution, preferring 2 dvi outputs or 1 dvi and 1 vga vs 1 dvi and a mini. I don't do a lot of Final Cut Pro, gaming, etc. I am interested in best value for the graphics card.
Does anyone have any suggestions on the best graphics card for these larger displays for the best value?
Thanks,
KevinI recommend you install nothing older than the Apple-firware 5770, about US$250.
RE: Mac Pro Replacement Graphics cards
1) Apple brand cards,
2) "sold in the Apple store" cards, and
3) "Mac Edition" cards ...
... show all the screens, including Boot up screens, Safe Mode, Installer, Recovery, debug screens, and Alt/Option boot screens. At this writing, these choices include:
1) Apple brand cards:
• Apple-firmware 5770, about US$250** works near full speed in every model Mac Pro, Drivers in 10.6.5
• Apple-firmware 5870, about US$450
2) "sold in the Apple store" cards
• NVIDIA Quadro 4000, about US$1200
• NVIDIA Quadro 5000, about US$2500
3) "Mac Edition" cards -- REQUIRE 10.8.3 or later:
• SAPPHIRE HD 7950 3GB GDDR5 MAC Edition, about US$480** Vendor recommends Mac Pro 4,1
• EVGA GTX 680 Mac Edition, about US$600
The cards above require no more than the provided two 6-pin aux power connectors provided in the Mac Pro through 2012 model. Aux cables may not be provided for third-party cards, but are readily available.
If you are Meet ALL of these:
• running 10.8.3 or later AND
• don't care about "no boot screens" etc AND
• can re-wire or otherwise "work out" the power cabling, THEN:
You can use many more cards, even most "PC-only cards" -
Does anyone have any info on MacKeeper?
Hi,
I was prompted to install MacKeeper prior to shutting down last night, but now I'm questioning if this is actually an "Apple" program or is someone trying to phish my system?
Does anyone have any information on this?
Thank you!Ralph Landry1 wrote:
I don't want to get into the thick of this debate, some people on here I respect and trust for judgement, but there is a lot to be said, and not said nicely, about software that pops up on you and declares your computer to be infected witih viruses...as though it could tell when it does not actually have access to your computer.
I believe you are referring to MacDefender, not MacKeeper. It is an honest mistake - one I made myself. Then someone called me on it and I had to re-evaluate the advice I had been given and had accepted unconditionally, without testing it myself. One thing led to another and here I am.
And when some good people like Phil Stokes go to great lengths to devise a procedure to completely remove a program like MacKeeper, and make it available free of charge, it gets my attention.
I suggest giving it more attention. Install MacKeeper and then remove it. Then re-evaluate Phil Stokes' scary-sounding instructions on how to remove MacKeeper cache files and log files. -
Does anyone have any word on the new iOS 5 Update?
Hello fellow Apple Users,
I know with the release of iOS 5.0.1, there were a lot of complaints with numerous different things that came with the updated system.
Since then, I have been trying to keep up to date when the new iOS will be coming out.
Lately I haven't seen any news regarding this and now instead of iOS 5.2 or 5.0.1 there may be a 5.1???
Does anyone have any information possibly regarding this?
Thank you!
-DizzyNo. Apple has not made any public announcements. When they do, you'll know just as soon as everyone else.

Anyone have any info on settings.sxx files?
Hi everyone:
I thought I'd additionally post this inquiry on the OSX technologies forum--not finding solutions elsewhere.
I've turned up with a "settings.sxx" file on every network Mac I've turned on today. Following an equally puzzled Panther forum user's link to http://filext.com/detaillist.php?extdetail=SXX, it's supposedly a "SAS Stat Studio Executable Module". Yikes. I went to the SAS site and turned up this article: http://www.sas.com/success/dmdc.html.
What is scary here is that it looks like some sort of tracking software (more than your average cookie) that can read ANY type of file. It also keeps returning after trashing and restart. I have not loaded any new software or subscribed anywhere new online. Does Apple security or anyone else know how this all of a sudden pops up, how to irradicate it, and how to block this kind of "cookie monster" from planting in the first place??
Any info is greatly appreciated!What's the path to these files? I have a bunch of "settings.sol" files on my PowerBook, but they're connected to the Macromedia Flash Player as they're all stored in the preferences folder for that. Perhaps the file extension changes depending on the version of the Flash player...
Here's the path to one of mine:
~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/macromedia.com/support/flashplayer/sys/#www.jdpower.com/settings.sol

Anyone have any luck with the tascam 144?
i am buying a tascam 144 usb interface in about a week cus someone told me it worked well with garage band but now i am having second thoughts cus i have read that a lot of people have trouble getting garage band to recognize it. anyone got any advice?
also how do you turn the volume of a track up during the mastering process, without clipping, so that your song is as loud as a commercial cd?

i am still a bit confused though
can someone explain how compression or limiting raises the volume cus a i am stil new : )
Compression is confusing, and people are often confused by what it does and how it works, so you’re not alone! It’s also used in a number of ways for different purposes, many of them “so that’s how they do that!” familiar, and others not so obvious. It’s been an essential part of the recording process throughout the history of recording, and great compressors, like great guitar amps, are sought-after pieces of gear.
To understand conceptually how compressors work to make things louder (which isn’t their only use, but is the topic of the thread), you need to understand the difference between peak and average levels. Average volume levels are what give you a sense of how loud the music is, peak levels are the occasional spike. A peak level may be so short, you barely perceive it.
When you raise the volume level on the whole track to the point just underneath clipping, it’s going to look to the peaks, and bring them up to the top of the volume scale. Everything else (and average levels) are going to be below that. If you tried to raise the volume any higher to get average levels higher – so it sounds louder – you would be lifting your peak levels into the clipping range. And clipping is bad.
So, the trick is to lower the volume on just the peaks so you can raise the volume on the entire track and make the average levels louder. Compression does that by kicking in above a threshold that you set (or is set in the preset), and lowering levels above that threshold by a certain ratio. If the settings are gentle, you may not notice it. If the settings are aggressive, you may not only notice it, but it can create ugly artifacts. In any case, above a certain threshold, it restrains the volume, taming the peaks.
After it tames the peaks (which may incidentally, be only a few imperceptible spikes) the audio flows into a “makeup gain” stage that’s essentially a volume knob. When first compressed, with reduced peaks, the track is no louder than it was before – and with lower peaks may even be softer. However, with the lowered peaks, the makeup gain stage is able to raise the overall volume higher than before, since (if you can picture it) there’s less distance between the new shorter peaks, and where most of the song volume lives below them. So first the compressor squashes the peaks, then the makeup gain can bring everything up... even higher.
Turning off normalize is kind of a “cheat” because it works by allowing you to bring the peaks into clipping (and therefore raise the overall level). In other words, rather than tame the peaks, you let them clip. Because some songs (and people) will tolerate some clipping, it’s a fast and easy way to raise the volume. Artful use of compression and limiting (which is extreme compression above a certain threshold) can get you to the same place without clipping.
Compressors are also often used on voice and instruments to “fatten them up” where the goal isn’t necessarily to make things louder, but to make things sound fuller by lifting up the low-level stuff that might be otherwise inaudible.
Compressors are not without their price. If you overuse a compressor, the dynamic range can be squashed into lifelessness. Also (and particularly with bad compressors), you can sometimes hear the action of the compressor when it kicks in above a certain threshold, and when it releases below it, what's called "pumping."
You might want to check out some other sites on the net to really understand the concept because once you understand it, you can use it to shape the sound of your tracks in powerful ways, and avoid pitfalls.
But I wouldn’t worry about it too much! Understand it as much as you can, but if you just dive in and do it, and use your ears to determine what sounds good or bad to you, you can learn by doing pretty quick. -
Does anyone have ANY idea when the next update is going to happen?
I'm editing a wedding video now and am waiting for the new updates (especially the functionality between Speedgrade and PP) to drop. I had heard a few weeks back that they were going to happen 10/15 but that date came and went. Then at the Create Now tour they said "in the next few days", but that was nearly a week ago. Does ANYONE have the scoop on this? I'm chomping at the bit....
Due to Adobe being a publically-traded company, where mis-information or disappointments from missed expectations can affect their market cap, non-disclosure-agreements of employees and contractors would prevent divulging of such information in a public forum.

Anyone have any comments on the Eizo ColorEdge CE240W
It seems like a pretty decent monitor. Can't decide on either an 30" ACD, LaCie or the Eizo. I would love the real estate of the 30", but not the price tag. I'm leaning towards the Eizo but would like some feedback if anyone has any.
I posted my experiences with the very good Eizo CE240W here.
