Anyone know anything about this Win XP Patch?

Computers that are running Windows XP Service Pack 2 and that are equipped with multiple processors that support processor power management features may experience decreased performance.
you can find the MS KB Article here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896256
I just wondered if anyone has found that their problems are in any way related to this. I also read that if your task manager shows only one graph of cpu usage then windows is not using both cores of you processor. They said there were updates to files that could be made to windows to correct this. Czn anyone shead any light on these issues? Thanks

Thanks for the reply all! I am obviously somewhat technically challenged unlike most of you who seem to just rattle this stuff off like it is second nature. So I read the threads mentioned and what I got from the replys here is that I do need to have these HAL files installed on my system. Is the hot fix that I saw on the MS KB article the same as manually changing the files? My Task Manager does show both processor graphs and the MSI utility Dual Core Center shows both processors operating as well. In device manager I show ACPI Multiprocessor PC and both cores show up under processors. So from that info is that enough to tell if I need to run the Hot Fix or not?

looks fine then.

Just run it, if its need it will be installed else will not. the installer will auto determinate that they are newest than yours or not.
Or just do windows update.

I have updated to itunes 10.5 and now it doesn't recognize our iphones and says we need a driver installer but then throws a notice saying an error occured. Anyone know anything about this? :)

Have you tried repairing your application from within the Control Panel?

Aperture is asking me for a serial number when I log on. I do have one because I got it off the app store. Anyone know anything about this or had this problem?

This problem has been getting at me for a while, I purchased Aperture 3 off the app store about a year ago without trouble, it was fine even when I had lion but after a few mserials deter that it stopped working and asked me for a serial number. It is also gone from my purchase history. I am not going mad and have forgotten hat I bought it in a box because I have written a review on the AppStore which you can only do if you have bought It there.

If you bought this in the App Store and now the App Store is not showing it in your purchased history and you are using the same Apple Id to log in you have a big problem.
I would contact the App Store right away and try to get this straightened out. There is no way to correct this as you do not have a serial number to enter and no way of getting one.
The only other possibility would be if you somehow have two copies of Aperture on your machine, did you ever load the trial version? You could search your HD to see if you have two copies of the application and if you do try running each to see what happens.
But even if this turns out to be the case it wouldn't explain the App Store not having it in your history ad that still is a major problem.

I have an Intel based iMac that has just developed two small spots on the screen. One 1/8" circle at bottom and a tiny circle at top. The fading on and off light isn't working anymore either. Does anyone know anything about this?

I have an Intel based iMac that has just developed two small spots on the screen - they look light brighter spots on the screen. One 1/8" circle at bottom right and a tiny circle at top right. The fading on and off light on area surrounding the screen isn't working anymore either. Has anyone else had similar problems? Any solutions? Thanks!

One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

Does anyone know anything about this login error?

After entering my Adobe User ID and Password in Photoshop Elements, I'm receiving an error message stating "Photoshop.com services are currently unavailable. Please try again later or check your network connection. Error 400."

Photoshop.com is currently unavailable because it stopped existing a while ago. If you have photos there, you should have received several emails, first one warning you of the change to Adobe Revel and to get your photos if you didn't want them moved, then another that the move was imminent, and another that they were successfully moved.
You can't use Revel from within versions of PSE that were set up for photoshop.com.

I recently transferred some photos from an old ipad to a new ipad using the app "simpletransfer", all of the photos that transfered however, saved into my photostream and turned my photostream on. does anyone know anything about this app because i have no

other idea as to how the photos i transferred ended up on my photo stream, which i had initially turned off.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Photo stream simply synchronises your photos between all your devices. If you don't want to use it, disable it at settings > iCloud, it won't affect any photos in your camera roll.

[i4] Does anyone know anything about the camera "patch" is made ?

Hello everyone!
The "patch" round transparent in front the camera back from my iPhone 4 does more place :-(
I therefore wish to pick up the shiny metal ring.
But what is this "patch"? I need to know the field to select the appropriate glue:
Metal-Plastic / Metal glass ...
I fear that sticks to the kind cyanolycrate superglue3 leaves me a white film on the wafer if it is plastic ...
Does anyone know anything about this "patch" is made?
Thank you in advance!
in french for french user:
Bonjour à tous !
La "pastille" ronde transparente se trouvant devant l'appareil photo arrière de mon iPhone 4 ne tient plus en place :-(
Je souhaite donc la recoller à la bague métallique brillante.
Mais en quoi se trouve cette "pastille" ? J'ai besoin de connaitre la matière pour choisir la colle appropriée: Métal sur plastique / Métal sur verre...
J'ai peur qu'une colle au cyanolycrate genre superglue3 ne me laisse une pellicule blanche sur la pastille si elle est en plastique...
Quelqu'un saurait il de quoi cette "pastille" est faite ?
Merci d'avance !

What patch are you referring to? I could be wrong, but I do not believe any such "patch" exists.
The only change to the iPhone4's design since it was released last June is that it is now available in white.

In the general settings on my ipod touch 2nd gen, I do not have an update choice. Anyone know anything about this?

An iPod Touch at iOS 3.1.3 and that iTunes states is up to date must be a 1st generation Touch, not 2nd.
See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353#iPod_touch_2nd_generation and notice the diffference between the 1st and 2nd gen models.

Does anyone know anything about OrangeSubmit?

Hello All,
I'm not sure this is pertinent to this forum, but I just got my website up online on HostMonster and they offer "free Search Engine submission" through OrangeSubmit. I don't know anything about this and was wondering if this is really free and if it will help people find my website where I hope to sell jewelry and other items.
If anyone knows anything about this site I'd appreciate hearing from you and/or any other suggestions.
Thanks, Wendy

I have a QR reader on my iphone. Works just brill. I've used it to create business cards, with a boat load more information on it (Including my duty times, etc)
Most of the QR readers in the App store are free, so give them a try. You can copy and paste the data just like normal text.
What application for them did you have in mind?

Anyone know anything about MBAs with Spanish keyboards?

I'm based in Manila, Philippines. Imagine our surprise, when we bought an MBA still sealed in its box, to discover the documentation all in Spanish, and the keyboard is physically different - different layout, different key assignments stenciled onto the keys, different Enter key. It's not just a matter of changing keyboard layouts in Sys Prefs. Didn't even know there were such things. Trying to get it exchanged for a regular English unit, but so far no good.
Does anyone know anything about this variant of the MBA? Been looking around the net and there doesn't seem to be anything about it at all.

I like the idea of new but doubt I will find what I want between $15,000 - $20,000 and the payment I can afford. We have had cars financed with triad and Santander and i refuse to do business with either of these ever again and when I buy a car I will make sure to tell the dealership not even run through them. Worst to companies I have ever dealt with for an auto loan. A car depreiciates when you drive it off the lot brand new so I don't see how that matters. Only difference is when you buy at a dealer other then carmax they usually have the best warranties which I would really like.We go to our 341 creditor meeting tomorrow so i'll wait until a few days after to start looking for cars again. Can someone tell me what being in the "Garden" means? I see it on a lot of posts?Gardening means that you are not applying for any credit and just letting the accounts get older. But you can get credit limit increases on current accounts with a soft pull. Auto Credit Express will send you to dealers like Byrider, which I don't recommend personally. I did an app with ACE and when I saw that they referred me to them I said never mind. Just on Friday I got an auto loan with Santander for a 2015 Kia Forte. The interest rate is a little high, but I plan on refinancing when I can. I financed right at 20,000 and this is a brand new car. I didn't have a lot of money to use as a down payment and I had a trade in that I still owed 2,336 on. But I really needed a new car. You just have to remain positive and shop around.

Does anyone know anything about iPhones and/or iPads having barcode scanners for business purposes?

Does anyone know anything about iPhones and/or iPads having barcode scanners for business purposes? I am doing some research about the benefits of using a Q R Code type of system, but question which handheld sets would be more compatible for using that type of barcode. Being a avid Apple supporter, I cannot seem to find very much research on this specific topic.
Any thoughts?

Anyone know anything about hosting my own email address ?

hi
im migrating my broadband to a new ISP but they dont host emails - they said i could host my own email -
does anyone know anything about how to do this and also how to do this on my mac ?
sorry - a bit clueless on this issue
thanks

Or, you could actually run your own mailserver. I run a 5-account mail server for immediate family members, three of which are grown adults no longer living at my home. To do this, I got an inexpensive GUI application for the Postfix that is already built-in to your Mac. An outfit called cutedgesystems.com sells one for I think about $25-$30 named Mail Serve Pro. Their help files (on their website) are pretty decent for a very basic primer.
You'll need to have your own server domain name. I went ahead and got my own free domain name through dyndns.com. They have a piece of software that goes on your computer so that every time your ISP changes your WAN IPA on you, it reports the change back to the dyndns servers, so you (and other smtp servers) can always find your machine by host name.
I also bought a paid service of theirs called mailhop relay. It sets them (dyndns) up as a mail transfer agent, so whenever anyone sends mail to any account on your server, it goes to them first to be virus scanned and spam assassinated with black hole lists, whitelists and blacklists. That really cuts down on the spam hitting your server and using up your (likely quite limited as compared to the big boys) bandwidth because it gets stopped upstream. That costs about $40/yr. You'll have to check their website for pricing to make sure.
I also got a service from them called mailhop outbound. It's like $10/yr for the lowest tier of service (150 outbound "relays" (sum of messages times recipients per message) per day). Now, while you could send an unlimited number of emails directly off your server and not bother with this service, if you have a dynamic IP address, you will find that outfits like roadrunner.com block email coming from servers that have a dynamic IP address. They equate dynamic IPAs to spammers. Unfortunate, but that's the way it is. So mailhop outbound relays all outbound mail from your server to dyndns, so the likes of roadrunner will accept messages from accounts on your mail server.
Security update 2008-007, at least on Leopard, broke my mail server. Can't speak to the latest security update for Tiger. That update added a line to /etc/postfix/main.cf that says "inet_interfaces = localhost". You'll have to comment that line out (# as first character in line). You'll need to remember that future OS updates or security updates may reintroduce that line.
You'll need to open SMTP in System Prefs so mail can be received from other smtp servers and so authorized users on remote computers can send mail through your server, and either IMAPS or POPS, in System Preferences, if you will allow roaming computers to receive mail through your server. You'll need to port forward those same ports through your home router to your computer.
Yes, it can be a bit of work to set up and maintain. And you need to be careful and vigilant against unauthorized use and hacking. So you'll get paranoid and start installing network intrusion detection and enforcing other draconian security measures (as well you should). And the computer needs to be left on ideally 24 hr/day, and although the screen may sleep, and the hard drive may sleep when possible, your CPU can never sleep.
So, after all that, that $2/mo domain hosting, or just getting a free AOL account, may not be such a bad idea after all...the above approach costs you about $4.25/mo and you have to maintain it.

I had to get my phone replaced, I did back it up. However when I went to sync my itunes to my phone, now ALL my music is all of the sudden not able to be found. As you can imagine I'm quite ******. Anyone know anything of this?

I also updated my itunes a couple days ago when i backed up my phone - could it have been that?

music is apart of a back up. however if you did not transferyour purchases before doing the back up you will have to re download them. to do so sign into itunes, on the right hand side under quick links you will see purchased. click on it and go to the music tab. all of your music will be there you will see a cloud next to them with an arrow pointing down that is where you download them there may also be an option to download all. you can do the same for any apps that you may have purchased also. after they have downloaded plug your device in and sync them back to the device. hope this helps

Does anyone know anything about Mackeeper?

My imac is 2 years old now and im wondering about defragmenting the hard drive and I found Mackeeper and I am wondering if anyone knows anything about it, or if it is even necesary

It is not. In fact the only tool you need on a Mac is backup software*:

MacKeeper is one of the worst pieces of so-called "maintenance" software, and even other "maintenance" software out there should not be used without a good backup plan.
