Anyone successfuly using ExpressCard on Vista?

It seems like either the Bootcamp drivers lack support for the ExpressCard slot on Vista or there is a bug in EFI.
Trying to use an ExpressCard in Vista results in Windows telling me "No free resources".
Does anyone around here successfuly use an ExpressCard on Vista?

Most of the ExpressCards I was thinking of were eSATA from Sonnet, Firmtek and others, though there have been FW800 as well in the past - and we know how poorly FW800 can be on Windows.
And for eSATA - and Express is just another PCI Express subset - 3rd party drivers are a must and you don't want Microsoft's, same as with video drivers.
When you mentioned ExpressCard without more detail, it helps to specify as the more info the better... but I would still look at Device Manager or OS X System Profile and find out more about what you are using.
Mac devices need to be mac compatible. PC cards for FW and eSATA - unless they state Mac support - shame as Adaptec and others have some PC only cards that would be nice.
Check out one site that has a wealth of information on Mac hardware like:

Anyone using easyPHP on Vista?

Greetings.
Is anyone here using easyPHP on Vista. I have problems
running Apache with
Vista and support there is non-existent. I get this error:
Apache cannot be runned: another Web server use the web port
or port is
blocked by firewall.
Regards,
Deon

Another option is to remove easyphp and install one of the
other bundles
like xampp or what they are called. Much easier than
reinstalling your OS.

RAID 0+1 using ExpressCard/34 with double eSata

I have a problem, and maybe someone here can help me a bit. Many thanks in advance.
I am doing a lot of RAW photo editing and also sometimes video processing. I want my pictures and video to be stored on an external hard drive connected to my MAC BOOK PRO using ExpressCard/34 and at the same time I want to have continuous backup of my files. I am thinking of playing a bit with RAID 0+1. Here is my plan:
I am planning to buy two WD My Book® Studio Edition™ II 1TB external drives (http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.asp?driveid=409). The drive itself operates as RAID 0 (striped) build from two drives 500 GB each - I understand that this way it is faster than one 1TB drive. I think of connecting these two drives to my Mac Book Pro using eSata Interface using eSATA II 2-Port ExpressCard-M form SIIG (http://siig.com/ViewProduct.aspx?pn=SC-SAEE12-S1 - seems to be recommended by WD). Then, by using Disk Utility, I plan to create a RAID 1 (mirrored) set consisting of these two external drives.
What I am expecting is to have something like RAID 0+1 and I expect this to be a better (faster) solution than buying one big WD My Book® Studio Edition™ II 2TB (2x1T internally) and using it in the RAID 1 configuration (which can be set by using the software provided by WD with the drive).
If anyone have some experience with RAID (main is close to 0) then I would be very thankful to read your comments.
I expect the configuration with 2 external drives connected via eSata to be faster than one 2TB (2x1TB) drive working in RAID 1 configuration. I am also wondering if my "RAID 0+1" will be much slower than one WD 1TB external drive (which is 2 drives working as RAID 0) or this is still comparable.
Thank you for your help. Much appreciated !

Hi Danny,
Yes, I did read it, but it did not address my particular situation - i.e. all four drives connected to the promise controller. The bits that do seemed to be saying "look at the manual", which isn't helping me. Last night, I updated the mainboard bios to 2.4, which didn't make any difference, so I'm still stuck.
Thanks for taking the time to reply

I tried hard reset on my iPhone. I tried restarting laptop and iPhone. I tried a different laptop. I tried removing driver and reinstalling from Device Manager but did not find a driver other than "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver" under "Universal Serial Bus controllers" which I heard shouldn't be uninstalled.
Anything I haven't tried?
HELP!

Are you seeing your music listed in the iPod screen, or in Win explorer as in your earlier post?
I can see all the songs in my Edrive>al's Ipod> Ipod Control> Music folder.
A corrupted iPod database, will report zero music used, and have your music size reported as others, so you wont see the music in the iPod screen. Sorry, I thought there was some hope for you with iPodAccess, in recovery of the corrupted iPod database with your ratings.
You can try to borrow and use the Mac Disk Utility ->First Aid ->Repair.
Of course, if your iPod Hardisk is in a bad state, from the Disk Diagnostic report, then all my suggestion are futile.

Which register cleaner or tune up software is the best to use for windows vista,windows 7 and windows 8.1 as professional?

hi,
I like to know wich register cleaner or tune up software is the best to use for windows vista- windows7- and windows 8.1.
I like to know the proffesional version of it which I can use for my clients every where unlimitted to clean unwanted keys of registry and improve performance.(specialy in Dutch language).

I second what Kate Li said. There's no need for a registry cleaner! Don't do it! I run Windows systems for years and they keep running as light and fast as when they're new.
What I *do* recommend is regularly reviewing the list of programs set to run in the background using a tool to show you what starts in various ways called Autoruns, which can be found here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx
This tool can be used to disable things you don't need.

Has anyone successfully used a "WD My Book for Mac" via NAS (plugged into USB port on router) as a Time Machine back-up drive?

Has anyone successfully used a "WD My Book for Mac" via NAS (plugged into USB port on router) as a Time Machine back-up drive? Apple support tech tried to tell me it wasn't possible and that the only NAS Time Machine could back up to is the Time Capsule, but I'm not buying it. I know it's doable, but I'm having a hard time figuring out which External HDDs will work and which ones won't. If not My Book for Mac, is there an External HDD that will work? (Running OS X 10.9.1 - Mavericks, btw...)

Given the nature of backups, my recommendation has always been to use a strategy that is unequivocally supported by Apple. As you already determined Apple Support unequivocally informed you that your proposal will not work, unless your router is an Apple AirPort Extreme or Time Capsule.
The exhaustive list of devices supported by Time Machine amounts to the following:
AirPort Time Capsule's built-in hard disk (any model)
External USB hard disk drive connected to a Time Capsule (any model)
External USB hard disk drive connected to an AirPort Extreme (current model only)
A hard disk drive directly connected to your Mac
That is all.
Use whatever backup device you want, but you should be aware that this site is full of reports of misery from hapless individuals who had been using NAS devices for Time Machine backups, only to find that they were incomplete, corrupted, or useless when they were required. Apple won't care if you lose your data while using a Time Machine configuration specifically excluded from their technical support documents.

Digital Signatures - how to prevent anyone from using my name

I've created a bunch of forms that have digital signatures enabled. When I've created one either with the PKCS or the Windows Certificate, what's to prevent anyone else from just typing my name, email address and Company Name? Yes, I can create one and save it with a password, but anyone can do that. I'm confused how I can ask our users to use digital signatures on internal documents, then have them email to accounting or HR, yet there's nothing to prevent anyone from using anyone else's name (ie how can I prove that it wasn't me that signed it)?
Is there nothing that's tied to Windows ie I can't use my login ID on our domain unless I use my network password? That's really the ONLY way I can prove I'm me.

Self-signed digital signatures are precisely that - the person creating them is the only one attesting to the contents, so you can make a perfectly-valid self-signed ID for Canta Claus of you want to. The critical thing to remember is that a self-signed ID will only validate if the recipient has your keyfile to compare it to. On your own machine it will show as valid because the key is present, but if you send the PDF to anyone else it will show as invalid unless you have separately transferred them a copy of your keyfile. It's that second file which tells them the ID is really yours, as they can physically check where it came from (e.g. by phoning you up). The recipient would then have to manually add the keyfile to the trusted list in Acrobat or Adobe Reader, and finally your PDF signature will get the green tick.
Self-signed IDs are find for internal company workflows as everyone can share their keyfiles, and the IT department can manage what's going on. If you're using digital IDs in a public setting you should never use self-signed certificates, instead you should purchase an ID from a Certificate Authority - a company whose IDs are tied to the 'root certificates' embedded in Acrobat and Adobe Reader. The CA will require proof of identity before selling you the cert, and so anyone can verify it's genuine without needing to contact you. CAS-issued certs for signing PDF files are not cheap, there are several vendors out there and I won't comment on which may be better.

Does anyone actually use automatic panning?

I've tried the automatic panning feature, and I don't understand how it could ever be useful. For example, using Captivate 5.5 for Mac, I'd like to set a recording area smaller than the application window and have the recording area move with the mouse, but I'd like the recording area to stay withing the application window borders. The results are jerky, unpredictable pans and the recording area invariably roams beyond the application window borders, showing undesired screen elements (other apps, Mac menu bar, etc.,) despite my specifying "Application" for my recording settings. I've had to resort to manual panning--which is very difficult to use smoothly; I had to create a "single axis movement" key command on my trackball mouse to help control horizontal/vertical movement, but even that isn't 100% reliable to ensure smoothness.
Am I missing something, or is it simply not possible to control automatic panning in the manner that I'd like? (I've read that Camtasia does this flawlessly, but I've never used it. And I am not certain whether it could be used for eLearning, not to mention it's video based, thus large files.)
I'm having a hard time understanding how this feature could be useful, unless you don't mind very jerky pans and your application is full screen and running on Windows (no OS menu bar to distract the user, although I suppose the bottom task bar could get in the way but at least that could be hidden).
Has anyone actually used automatic panning for a project, and were you pleased with the results?

Hi there
Until Captivate 6, I've long advised folks that if "panning is your thing", skip Captivate and go look at Camtasia.
That being said, it's worth noting that while Camtasia and Captivate both capture what goes on with your screen, they take two different approaches.
With Camtasia, you pretty much record the full screen at the start, then later determine the size you want to produce at. Since you are already full screen and you later determine where the pan goes, it's much better and silky smooth in operation.
As you have seen, with Captivate you get, ummm, how do I say this nicely? Ummm, "less than desirable" pans. So if you are on Captivate 5.5 or earlier, fuhgeddaboudit when it comes to panning.
But I'm aware that Adobe has put lots of effort into Captivate's full motion recording engine. Whether it will now rival Camtasia's remains to be seen. But it's greatly improved in version 6 of Captivate. You did mention Mac. I'm not a Machead and tend to avoid them for value considerations, so I'm ill equipped to say whether Adobe updated the Mac version along with the Windows version for 6. I know TechSmith has different release cycles as well as different feature sets for Mac VS Windows on Camtasia. Perhaps Adobe is better in this respect.
So you might try version 6. Download it, kick the tires and see if upgrading is worth it for you.
Cheers... Rick

Anyone here use a DrumKAT with Garageband?

Maybe someone can help. My setup is DrumKAT (dk10) into iMac with MIDI-USB cable. My problem is when I close the HiHat with my Pintech pedal, all the pad sound start wavering with tremelo. It does not happen if I play through EZDrummer with Garageband closed, but I'll be needing to record in Garageband and I like the standard drum sounds in Garageband '09.
Does anyone have the answer as to why this is happening? Or if you have a DrumKAT and do not notice this, what is your setup?

Update, Here we are a month later. I upgraded from a DrumKAT dk10 to a 3.8. I did this because I discovered the dk10 didn't have a continuously variable hit hat control function. Well, one of the first things I did after getting lost in the complicated DrumKAT interface for a few hours, was controlling Garageband.
No boing boing with the 3.8.....however, now the hat pedal raises the note like a tympani pedal. I'm sure this is not an Apple problem, but a DrumKAT problem, but still, if anyone is using any KAT with any Apple computer, please respond.

Anyone who used WordPerfect remembers their macros--atimesaving "mini-program" (I think they called it) so you wouldn't have to retype often-used text like your name, address, phone number. How do I do this in Firefox?

I'm sure Firefox has a shortcut so I don't have to retype often-used text over and over again (like my name, address, phone #).
If anyone remembers using WordPerfect, "macros" was their tool for accomplishing this.
What's the shortcut in Firefox?

Firefox does have what is called "Form Autocomplete". It remembers frequently used form entries (such as a name), and suggests them next time you fill out a form.

Is anyone successfully using Digieffects Camera Mapper with CS5

Hello all,
I greatly want to use Digieffects Camera Mapper with After Effects CS5 in Windows 7..
http://digieffects.com/product/camera_mapper
But it keeps crashing my installation of After Effects.
I'm using the demo CS5 version downloaded from the DigieEffects website. Digieffects support says the demo version works the same as the paid version (except for the watermark.). No problem there -- if I can get the demo version to work then I will buy it.
Digieffects support says it works fine with their Windows 7 CS5 installation of After Effects.
I went so far as to completley reinstall windows and reinstall CS5 master collection. But after all that work I get the same crash.
We are talking about a clean install of Windows 7 and a clean install of the CS5 master collection with nothing else installed on the computer.
And I keep getting the crash.
So my question here, is anyone succesfully using Digieffects Camera Mapper with CS5. Are there any tips that I should know of. Please look at my screen captuers of the steps I take which end up in a crash.
As I said this is a new (just a few hours old) installation of Windows 7 Professional and a new (just a few hours old) installation of CS5 Master Collection. No other plug-ins or programs installed.
Thanks
...Rowby

I'm sorry to say I have not heard from Digieffects regarding Windows 7 CS5 compatibility with Camera Mapper.
It is strange because I've had at least one phone call from them, and then a few weeks ago they said they confirmed there was a problem and their engineer was working on it, and I should expect to receive an update of the plug-in that works with Windows 7 CS5.
Since then I haven't heard a peep, even though I sent them 2 follow up support requests.
In my case I was testing a demo, but Digieffects support said the demo was the same as the non-demo version (except for the demo watermark).
Below is a link to Digieffects' compatibility page which shows that Camera Mapper is compatible with CS5.
http://www.digieffects.com/support/compatibility
Their silence on this issue, after their assurances to me that a fix is eminent, is baffling.
Below is Digieffects support's last communication with me, on October 11.

Rowby,
I think the engineer has this one figured out. Turned out to be a problem in the plugin- I will send you an updated one at some point today as soon as I recieve it from the engineer. Thanks for your patience and help with this one

Has anyone ever used this CF8 host?

Hi,
I'm currently using HostMySite - but it's just for my
personal site and it seems like I'm paying just too much for what I
use it for $23.95 USD (about £12 GBP) per month.
This company (
http://www.hostingfuse.com/index.php/fuseaction/hosting.webhosting
) seem to be Australian, offering reasonable CF8 hosting for $10
AUD (about £4.5 GBP).
Just wanted to know if anyone has used them and what they're
like? Or if someone has alternative solutions?
Thanks,
Mikey.

You may only want an Australia Host but I like
http://www.gearhost.com They are
located in CO
and have very reasonable prices. The nice thing is
that you can use CF, ASP or PHP with any account.
