Anyone Rec'd a new ATI X800XT that actually works?

I'm on my second one in the last two weeks ordered direct from ATI. Both of them display dots all over the screen. Looks like ATI is shipping from a bad batch. Has anyone rec'd one of the new RoHS versions recently that actually works?
Thanks,
Ric

Dear Malcolm:
I could definitely hear the fan after I installed it, but after a few minutes it stopped, and possibly that is the point when I started to have the problem. But the fan started to spin again, and I still have the problem. I'd connected the 30 inch Cinema Display to a MacBook Pro, and the display is fine. Surely, it has to be the card? I've yet to connect a 23 inch Cinema Display to the ATI card, which I'll do shortly, but I'm sure that the problem will still be the same.
Question: Is there suppose to be a separate Y power cable used with the X800 XT and the G5 2.0?
I ask because the general instructions that came with the card states that if a card comes with a Y-cable, then it'd have to be used. The X800 XT card that I'd received didn't have a Y-cable, and such cable isn't listed on the side panel of the retail package, so I'm assuming that a Y-cable isn't necessary. Plus I didn't get the icon at startup that the instructions point out would appear if I didn't have sufficient power for the card.
I will contact Macsales.com and/or ATI about this problem, and see if I can get a replacement from either source. Thank you for your help, Malcolm.

How do I revert to my old version of Firefox? You know, the one that actually worked!

I recently upgraded to a newer firefox version and I am very unhappy with it. How can I revert back to my older version - the one that actually worked. Also I hate the restore last session feature. It raises huge security concerns when children have access to my computer.

TS3999 Is there a calendar app that actually works on the iphone4?

Everything ties to iCalendar which never works. I have been unable to fund an app that is independent of iCal and it would be nice to have a calendar app that actually works. If I have try and un-install then re-stall one more time, I'm going to scream!

It never opens. there is no way to delete and re-install it. The general trouble shooting tips rarely work.
If I use another calendar app it won't open if iCal won't open.

HT5247 Where can I download a Java Runtime Environment that actually works on OS 10.6.8?

Last week there was this security alert urging Apple users to get rid of a Java application. Since then I have issues accessing some of my regular websites. I need Java Runtime Environment for it, but cannot find it anywhere on the Internet. Where can I find Java Runtime Environment that actually works on Apple Mac OS 10.6.8?

Run the installer.
Then you can drag the various versions of Java into whatever order you prefer, or uncheck any you don't want used at all.
As for your JRE question above, the last Apple Java update disables Java Applets and Webstart Applications by default to prevent the Flashback exploit from working. There should be a checkbox to enable that in the Java Preferences application. It's under the general tab in 10.7, but I haven't used 10.6 in so long I don't remember if it should be there or somewhere else. It doesn't seem to be there in your screenshot...
Of course, I'm assuming the "things you could do before" involved Java applets on the internet. I don't recommend re-enabling this functionality, by the way. However, it is your risk and your choice.
Java application bundles and anything run from an IDE or the command line should still sork as expected.

Can anyone recommend a USB CF card reader that will work in my Macbook Pro Retina? My USB card readers for CF cards do not work

At present, the only way I can load photos from a CF card to my new Macbook Pro Retina is by loading them onto an external hard drive via an old PC that can accept either of my USB card readers, then plugging the external hard drive into my MBP. Neither the USB card reader or the cable that comes with the Canon HDSLR camera will transfer photos directly to my MBP. I find it unbelievable that I have to go to a PC to load photos because I can't do it with my new MBP.
Has anyone found a reliable USB CF card reader, or one that connects via thunderbolt or HDMI, at any price, that will work directly with the new MBP Retina?

This is what we need:
Location photoshoot - we use the Canon EOS 5D Mk II still camera & the Canon FX100 pro camcorder.
CF cards are: SanDisk Extreme UDMA & SanDisk Extreme Pro UDMA 6 for video (I think they are both Type II) My Mac recognises them both as FAT 32 format
My MBPRetina is on the latest version of Mountain Lion OSX 10.83
the files from the camcorder will transfer to my MacBook Pro Retina directly via the camera's cable but it is quite slow & it means I cannot continue to film while downloading files but this we can live with.
the files from the still camera Canon EOS 5D Mk II will not transfer directly via the camera's cable - have yet to get the Canon software to download, but via the camera's cable will not help anyway as we need to have the still camera free to keep shooting.
We need to be able to take out the CF card from the first part of the shoot & download the still shots while just on the Macbook's battery power, while we insert a fresh CF card back into the still camera to continue with the next part of the shoot simultaneously (while the first card is downloading.)
The files from the first part of the shoot will be both in RAW (.CR2) & Jpeg format. We just need to quickly transfer the jpegs, then I do a quick sort, batch the best ones as black/white images, & use these in a client slideshow immediately after part 2 of the shoot.
Obviously we need fast data transfer speeds, & rely on the MBP's battery power while on a location shoot.
The card readers I have tried are an older specific CF card reader branded as Palm, & a USB 2 multi card reader branded as Travel Flash. With both readers, the lights on the readers flash on & off, & the MBP recognises the card & the files will even appear both in Finder & in i-Photo, so it starts importing, then aborts with an error message saying:
'The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data in “” can’t be read or written.
(Error code -36)'
& another message saying:
'the disk was not ejected properly'.
So it appears the MBP does read the CF cards but the card readers don't stay connected, no matter what angle I put them on or however many times I re-connect them.
Yes, they are probably cheap & I want to buy a decent one.
So, in summary:
the card reader needs to work when the MBPR is only on battery power (I read in some forums that some USB card readers aren't so reliable on the laptop's battery power)
the card reader needs to be quite fast. I have read the USB 3 readers won't read CF cards at higher than USB 2 speeds. Is this true? Are the firewire connected ones faster, & if so, are they still reliable on the MBP's battery power?
From research, it appears my problem is associated with my specific model of Mac & platform, being MacBook Retina on Mountain Lion OSX Version 10.83. If any of the recommended card readers have been successful with this, plese let me know.
Thanks heaps for the suggestions so far.

Has anyone gotten the automatic upload to YouTube to actually work?

I've read about a lot of people who have had trouble getting Compressor's "Publish to YouTube" to work properly, but no stories of anyone actually getting it to do it. Has anyone gotten it to work? And if so, how?

I have tried to get all of FCP's new social networking uploads to work, and they don't here. I just export the file, and use the Utube uploader. I don't think any of the sharing in FCS is ready for primetime:)

Are there any printers that actually work in linux?

I have had a few , that worked in ubuntu, then didnt work, i have one that worked beautifullly in ubuntu,but only scans (it's an all in one) in arch.. is there a list of sacred printers that work? i tried installing gutenprint. how do you use it? i cant find it in the application list.. i try using the printer config at :631 on firefox, cant connect, cant connect at opera, or chromium, and i have no firewall running. so I cant configure a printer if one even did work, or do they work after you turn certain ones on?
if anyone i mean anyone has any information about what does work, so i can go out and buy what actually works, please let me know.. this is annoying i have 2 printers and neither of them work.. both are all in ones.. one of them the scanner works.. but i cant use the printer part..

This is, of course, your choice. In any case, Arch does not seem to be appropriate for your needs.

Best modem/router for AEBS that actually works?!

Hi,
I have had so many problems with my AEBS it's unbelievable! If someone could suggest a modem/router that works well with the AEBS so i can set up my wireless network that would be great! So far i have tried the netgear DM111P modem & the d-link 320T modem. Both do not seem to work, i can get onto the internet connecting directly to each of the modems but when i comes to connecting to the internet through the AEBS with the modem attached there is nothing. But i can connect one computer if the AEBS is in bridge mode, which is pointless as i need to share the connection. So any suggestions to help me or on a modem/router which will actually work, i would appreciate it a lot!
Many thanks!

I’m accessing to this with iMac, Win (HP, IBM) laptops, iPhone… one of the best investments (beside iMac and iPhone.. )
I have a PC with an ASUS MB (see my profile), and have great respect for ASUS products. I was not even aware that they made routers.

hello ralph, your system information says that you're still of firefox 3.6 - in case this is right please update as soon as possible, since your browser is [https://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox.html affected by numerous known security vulnerabilities] which will put the integrity of your system and your personal data at risk!

A new HD TV, that will work in the building I live in

I live in a tower structure apt building, on the 6th floor facing south. No dishes are allowed, there's no place to put em
and it's in the lease. So, all I can get is Comcast cable, for TV. I could use rabbit ears, but I don't think that will give me
very good reception. My question is will a new HD TV, pick up a good signal, even without an antenna , or a simple
anntenna that I would buy, small enough to fit in my apt, like rabbit ears?
The claim is made they have one built in. How well would this work in a building made with steel reinforced of concrete walls.
Also, do I need 720, or do I need to spend the extra to get 1080. Football is much better in HD. But, other programming
is really not that much if any better, in my view. Than the old analog type of TV.

Please see below from the FCC website:
In 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted rules for Over-the-Air-Reception Devices (“OTARD” rules). The OTARD rules prohibit restrictions on a property owner or tenant’s right to install, maintain or use an antenna to receive video programming from direct broadcast satellites (DBS), broadband radio services (formerly referred to as multichannel multipoint distribution services or MMDS) and television broadcast stations (TVBS). However, there are exceptions to the OTARD rules, including provisions for safety and preservation of historic areas.
The FCC later amended the OTARD rules to apply to rental property where the renter has exclusive use of an area, and to customer-end antennas that receive and transmit fixed wireless signals.
What Types of Antennas Are Covered Under the OTARD Rules?
The following antennas or dishes are covered by these rules:
A "dish" antenna one meter (39.37 inches) or less in diameter (or any size dish if located in Alaska), designed to receive direct broadcast satellite service, including direct-to-home satellite service, or to receive or transmit fixed wireless signals via satellite.
An antenna that is one meter or less in diameter and is designed to receive video programming services via broadband radio service (wireless cable), or to receive or transmit fixed wireless signals other than via satellite.
An antenna that is designed to receive local television broadcast signals.
Antennas used for AM/FM radio, amateur (“ham”) radio, CB radio, Digital Audio Radio Services (“DARS”), or antennas used as part of a hub to relay signals among multiple locations are not covered by these rules.
What Types of Properties Are Covered?
Under the OTARD rules, an owner or a tenant has the right to install an antenna (that meets size limitations) on property that he owns or over which he has exclusive use or control. This includes single family homes, condominiums, cooperatives, townhomes and manufactured homes. In the case of condominiums, cooperatives and rental properties, the rules apply to “exclusive use” areas, like terraces, balconies or patios. “Exclusive use” refers to an area of the property that only the renter and people allowed by the renter may enter and use. If the area is shared with others or accessible without the

HT4897 Can I create a new email address that will work with my existing Apple ID?

Hello,
When I got my first Mac I created an Apple ID. I later created an email account with the name [email protected] I'd like to have an address that is [email protected] I'd prefer not to use an alias. Can I do this without losing all the information in my Apple ID such as itunes purchases, computer purchase history, etc? How do I find out if the new email address I'd like to use is available?
Thanks,
kayjh

You already have [email protected] If you want [email protected] you will have either to create an alias, or to create a new Apple ID (for which you will need a different non-Apple email address) and then create a new iCloud account. You can continue to be signed in in System Preferences>iCloud with your current ID, and the new one can be signed in in System Preferences>Mail, Contacts and Calendars where it will appear in Mail alongside the current one as a separate account. Or you can scrap the present ID and sign in with the new one in System Preferences>iCloud but continue to use the old one to sign in in iTunes - there is no confilct about doing that (though of course any data such as Calendars ancd Contacts you have in the present account will disappear if you sign out). I should choose the second option - the new account in Mail, Contacts and Calendars.

Does anyone else own this crap from adobe that never works? such as a simple task of converting a file? does not happen

the file section to convert to microsoft word, does not work, has trouble - anyone know what could be wrong? I guessing it is the software from adobe, as it has always worked poorly since I started this. Does anyone know of another program that converts files?
