Are you happy with video playback on a fairly new non-HP Vista machine?

Has anyone been able to successfully play back iTunes videos on recently-purchased non-HP Vista computers?
There have been a number of posts about inability to play back iTunes videos, and I'm getting the impression we're all HP users.
If you have a non-HP machine of recent vintage that came with Vista, and you ARE able to play back your iTunes videos, will you please let us know? It would also be useful to know if your computer has an SATA hard drive (which I think it probably does if it's of recent vintage).
Thanks!

I have a brand new (less than a month) Gateway Laptop (core 2 duo/2GB ram) and I haven't had any problems playing video in iTunes.

Are you happy with your Galaxy S5? I'm looking for a new phone.

Are you happy with you Galaxy S5? I'm looking for a new phone.

Very happy after getting it to stop keeping the display lit after charging completes. Battery life blows my Galaxy Nexus out of the water. The GNex was like an electric car with a 30 mile range. Always looking for a charge. The S5's screen is gorgeous. OLED is a must-have for me. Signal strength is better than the GNex and the S5 is XLTE-ready so you can get faster speeds in those markets. I got 69.08/18.95 in Kansas City back in May. Other XLTE areas have had download speeds of high 20s to low 30s. Performance is good. The interface feels smooth and responsive. I even like the look. It's like something out of a 50s diner.
My only real gripe is the storage. 16 gigs is pretty sad these days and only 10 gigs are available. I know you can add a 128 gig card (I have) but few apps load completely to the card. Heck, lots of apps won't put anything on the card. A flagship phone should have 32 and 64 gig options.
I also wish I could just load the bare OS and skip all the bells and whistles that Samsung's added.

Are you happy with your Touch?

I am looking at an iPod Touch since I really don't need an iPhone.
Right now I am using a Palm Pilot and I like it.
Has anyone made a switch from the Palm Pilot to a Touch?
Are you happy with it?
Thanks,
Fred

I've owned a lot of electronics and feel the Touch is the coolest of them all. Now that I've got a MiFi I can listen to Pandora pretty much anywhere, on my TOuch. We just drove from San Jose to LA and had Pandora on the entire time, in the car. Very awesome. There is an app for just about anything imaginable with many of them being free. While the screen doesn't have the gorgeous blacks and color of the BB Storm, it's still cool to watch movies on the Touch, play various games, view the internet, and on and on. My wife and I both use our Touchs every day and by plugging in to recharge when the indicator shows about 1/2 charge, we don't run out of juice to use them to our heart's content. Highly recommended. You can even straighten pictures on the wall with a Touch!

Are you happy with Java Applets?

Are you happy with deploying your Forms to the Web as Java Applets? What kind of issues did you run into? Did you go the Java Applet deployment route for the lack of an easier/faster option? Wouldn't you prefer to deploy your forms as standard JSP pages? I really appreciate your feedback.
Ali

Ali,
I wished things were as easy as black and white. It depends on what kind of application your are building. Is it busineess to business, business to customer, an Internet application or a heavily used internal application with high transaction volumes.
There are a lot of application types that I, as a Forms Product Manager, wouldn't encourage you to use Forms for. Keeping in mind the memory footprint onthe server, the JInitiator plug in and the download time, self service applications that are of short term use definitively are not what Forms is made for.
On the other side, JSP still requires a back end because its an interface technology and according to the MVC paradigm the view shouldn't have business logic in it. So you can use EJBs or Oracle's Business Components for Java to build the backbone of your application. In either way you are stepping out of the JSP case.
There is a reason for all different interface types to exist: Use Java Applet for what they are good for and the Forms design and intended usage really goes in line with that. Please have a look at this Whitepaper for a good insight in the subject of Forms and J2EE technologies

Are you happy with version 10 + XP

Itunes just refused to upload the last Santana CD if i did not upgrade my old v8 to v10; it probably will do the same for every recent cd...so there is an issue here.
Since i had to go back from v9 to V8 cause 9 just did not work on my pc, i do not feel confident about upgrading to 10 now...
are you happy with V10 + XP? (one that cannot afford buying a mac...)
Carlus

i have version 10 in one pc and version 8 in another; when i import the very same CD, version 8 goes to gracenote and finds all the song names + cd cover, and version 10 does not...version 9 hI believe apple is growing too fast and becoming like windows...with false improovements, bugs, and so on; i was going to buy an apple computer but i changed my mind ans i won't.

Are you happy with you Z

I have a ZVM and i really like it. Best mp3 player i ever had.
Are you Happy with your zen? If not what would you rather have?

i love my ZVM. However, i like the way my Nomad Jukebox2 is view'd in MediaSource Organizer better. Also the fact that they let you figure out how to use the ZVM. There is no detailed instructions on how all the functions work.

Are you having iTunes video playback problems?

Do you have iTunes Store-bought videos whose playback is terrible, all choppy and full of freezes while playing back in iTunes?
Have you copied one of those iTunes videos to a thumb drive and had it play back perfectly?
This problem is not fixed by any of the Quicktime adjustments that Apple suggests on their "how to fix video playback issues" page, and, aside from this video playback issue, iTunes is working fine on my machine. As I said, the videos work fine, too, if played from a thumb drive instead of the hard drive.
This has been going on for weeks, and people have been posting about it here on the forum, but, to my knowledge, there's no fix. Just silence.
It might be useful if people who are seeing this problem post some information about their systems. For all I know, all of us who are seeing this problem have one particular vendor's computer.
The computer I am having this problem with is a new HP laptop that came with Vista. This one:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/genericDocument?docname=c00846935&cc=us&dlc=e n&lc=en&jumpid=regR1002USEN
1.6 GHz AMD Turion ™ 64 X2 Dual-Core Mobile Technology TL-52
2 X 512KB L2 Cache
2048MB DDR2 System Memory (2 Dimm)
NVIDIA GeForce Go 6150 (UMA)
120GB 5400RPM (SATA)
I think the problem has to do with SATA, but I don't really know, except that my computer has it and I am able to play these videos perfectly from a thumb drive but not the SATA hard drive.
If you are having this problem, please consider posting your computer's info. Thanks.
HP Pavilion Entertainment PC Other OS Vista

OK, I figured it out... I too have a dv6000 with Vista and I have been trying to fix this terrible itunes video playback thing and this is what I found. For whatever reason the NVidia driver in the dv series doesn't play nice with Vista. They say that they are looking into it but have no response other than that. Somehow the data from the hard drive isn't fast enough. So, reading this I figured that if that REALLY is the problem that I could use a external drive and have the videos come from there, and Voila!! It works like a charm, no skipping, no stalling, no more blue screens. I hope this is helpful, I know what a pain this can be.
ALSO, apparently some think that you can't watch itunes video while using Vista's "ReadyBoost". I haven't had that issue personally, but I have seen a lot that have who disabled it and had it work fine.
Let me know if this works for everyone else.

Are you happy with the new Unibody 2.0 Macbook?

Hi There,
I have been a Windows user(not by choice) for the last, well, ever since I can remember. But after buying the iphone 3g am a mac fan. I have also seen the demo of the new unibody 2.0 macbook and have been hooked on to that. So after reading all issues reported on this forum, just wanted to ask owners as to what their experience has been and are they happy with the $1299 macbook? MY usage is mainly for internet, songs, videos and probably have to install XP to run a few of my oracle applications. But mainly want to use the mac OS. I am not into gaming so thats not really a concern. Also, any major disadvantages or problems that you have. I dont need firewire so thats not an issue.
Thanks in Advance,
Cheers guys!
Sunil

I've been an Apple Laptop user since the Clamshells, and have adored most of them. This is the best one yet so far as I'm concerned. I am delighted, amazed, and in love! It's strong and solid, yet lighter than the plastic ones before it. Has all that I expect from a beautiful screen, responsive keyboard, and it's smooth-as-glass trackpad. This is a marvelous machine and I'm very, very happy with it.
Oh, and Ziatron there always posts on these threads about the firewire. He is correct that the Aluminum Macbook lacks firewire. The plastic has it, and so does the Macbook pro. So if that's an issue for you, then you need to think on that. However, the lack of firewire on the Macbook is Ziatron's particular hobby horse. A lot of us, myself included, have found it to be a non-issue. I've had this MacBook since the day they brought the new ones out and have not yet needed to plug in one thing that required firewire. I don't even know it's missing.

Are you happy with ipod touch

I was going to get an iphone for Christmas. It turns out the monthly cost is too expensive considering I rarely use my phone. I have my imac desktop. Could I get rid of my PC notebook if I got the touch? I only use the notebook for browsing Craigslist and my forums. Stick to my imac for my photography. I have heard rumours of a new itablet coming out. Should I wait or would I be happy with the touch. I love new toys!!! Thanks everyone.
Shari

the ipod touch is a magnificent toy, i have never regretted buying it. (in fact i am now on my second ipod touch, having upgraded to the third generation from the first in september).
but just to clarify your particular circumstances: why do you use the notebook when you have a desktop? this will help us to tell you whether it is an adequate replacement.
in my experience, browsing internet forums on the ipod isn't a great experience - mostly due to the size of the screen, unless the forum has a mobile version. while viewing full size webpages is possible on the ipod touch, it can be awkward to navigate round sites (it's great that you can access them, but it's still no replacement for a larger screen.)
as for craigslist - if i remember correctly, there is an app which you can download for craigslist. this is the other option with the ipod touch - increasingly, companies are bringing out their own apps which are tailor made to their particular website, making them a lot easier to use.

Are you happy with your X1900 XT video card?

I'm considering upgrading to an X1900 XT for use with FCP6.
I notice a lot of folks having problems with this card, on apples's own store forum http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?pg=1&mc o=C459AF1A&productLearnMore=MA631Z/B&revw=MA631Z/B

Are FCP users generally happy with this card? Maybe the problem is only with gamers?
How long have you been using the card (seems like problems can take months to show up).
Have you added 3rd party cooling to resolve issues with heat and noise?
http://www.arctic-cooling.com/vga2.php?idx=90
I'm gathering that the ATI card is best for Color - that many of the features in FCP take more advantage of the ATI card and Nvidia. Is this true?
Thanks!

I'm ABSOLUTELY happy with X1900 and I have been recommending it a few times.
Many people are happy with it and recommend it.
Yes, if you use Motion and Color this card is essential.
Hope this helps!

Are you happy with your N97? (Psychomania where ar...

Are you guys happy with your N97s? Do you have major problems with it? (I have heard some issues such as connections to internet without user authorization and can't be turned off, do you have that?)
What about the white one? Do you think white one will be a dirt magnet? Any dirt problems with white one?
Thx
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I cannot say that I am happy with my N97. i am returning to Nokia after many years using palm products, treo 600, Treo 650 and finally a Treo Centro. The principal reason for the change is that Treo don't do 3G and I needed a phone that i could use as a modem for my lappy when out and about and, quite basically EDGE does not cut it. So I have ben running a Centro fully loaded with apps for everything, editing, audio and video playback, turn by turn navigation with TomTom and an external GPS, audible audio books, lock down password app email and web. All solid reliable and verything synced with my mac and goosync. The whole lot cost about 320 quid. So I wanted a keyboard that put iPhone in the bin as well as its rather restricted availability. N97 looked like the real deal ut am I glad I got it as a vodafone upgrade rather than buy it myself!
problems so far:
1No real sync with Macs
2random lock up at end of call initiated from screenswwipe particularly if other app is running such as music
3persistent problems trying to get contacts onto the phone, it would not sync with anyy service, google, OVI ,goosync , OVI suite on PC, eventually yesterday I got a sync with PC suite after doing a factory reset so I now have contacts in the phone but do not have a reliable sync to update them or remote backup. The contacts app is also **bleep**. No findduplicates, totally unclear search that is not at all quick compared to the Centro
4 sat nav poor compared to tom tom, maps ( yes the latest ones) are at least 18 months out of date with road construction, search frequently fails to resolve destinations from downloaded maps or over the air and today dumped me 5 miles off target due to a bad postcode search!
5 random bugginess. this is occasional incorrect screen updates, failure to stop displaying nag messages in maps application and on many internet connected sites after you press the buton or tick the box not to be shown them again.
6 that side switch! absolutely useless. can't use it if phone is in car cradle. had to put nUnlock on this does work most of the time but not always, depends on what app is on screen when it switches off the lights
7 battery life absolute rubbish if you are using sat nav or playing music and probably using wifi. Also intermittent failure to charge from either the Nokia power adapter or a usb connection with a laptop, very annoying if you have left it charging overnight and you are travellin all the next day
8 could use a decent agenda view for the day like every other calendar app
9 phone, why does it sometimes use nokia tune insead of the ringtone set in the profile? no contacts have associated tone and this frequently happens when no caller ID is sent by the caller
10 essential apps that I have to pay extra for, PDF reader for goodness sake! free on every other platform! quick office, Functional docs to go free with treo!
11 generally poor and inconsistent user interface, though that may just be in comparison with mac and palm OS, did symbian hire ex microsoft programmers
To be honest I thought that symbian would be more polisshed than palm OS which is very many years older and runs on tiny processers and ram how wrong I was.

Trying to decide 9650 or Samsung Facinate, are you happy with your BB?

Hi,
I am going to get my upgrade, and getting my first smartphone. I will be using for email, txt, phone, and a little web. Are you guys happy with the blackberry, or is it getting out dated and I should move to the driod platform? Was looking at the 9650.
Help

BlackBerry cannot be beat for instant email, texting (the Bold keyboard is amazing), call quality and battery life. Do you have friends with BlackBerrys? You can use BB Messenger to chat with them. In fairness, other smartphone platforms have instant messaging as well, but BBM is just easy and always connected, and you can see when someone has read your message (not sure if others offer this feature). And a big plus for me is I can stick a BB in my pocket and not worry about the screen cracking or scratching.
I wouldn't worry about the platform being outdated. RIM is still a strong contender because BlackBerrys just work the way they're supposed to. Get what's right for you, because these opinions constantly change. I still see lots of "Back to BlackBerry" threads.
Since you said "a little web," I think the Bold might be a good choice for you. If you were into heavy browsing, watching videos, or loading up on free apps and games, I'd say check out the Fascinate. If you want fun, innovative stuff that looks amazing onscreen, BB is not known for that.
As a previous poster said, try out both devices in a store. It's the best way to know. Good luck deciding!

Are you happy with HDV's quality?

nevermind the rendering issues and such......but I am wondering if you guys think Sony, JVC, and the rest of the boys did a good job with this new format. do you think HDV should look clearer or sharper? Have more color? I know tapes limit this, but like I said.....I'm just askin.
Many thanks,
Brian

Depends on what you're using it for...
It is higher resolution, so it does look clearer and sharper than DV.
It uses 4:2:0 chroma subsampling, so it doesn't have any "more color" since the information in the chrominance channels is reduced to about a quarter of the info in the luminance channel, much like the 4:1:1 subsampling of DV (except in 2x2 blocks instead of 4x1).
This leads to the similar problems as SD DV footage has when you try to pull a key or do secondary color corrections - you get juddery keys and artifacts. Even when I've tried work-arounds as suggested in the Apple Pro Training Series book "Encyclopedia of Visual Effects", such as changing the color space and blurring the chrominance channels, I still get judders and artifacts when I burn my projects to HD-DVD. However, I've found that when I downconvert to SD these artifacts are barely noticeable. That's not too comforting though, I'd rather not have to downconvert to SD to watch my HD projects... kind of defeats the purpose of shooting in HD.
However, I've done a few commercials with a Canon XL H1 and just edited the HDV (from tape) natively in FCP 6 with no major issues, but since the XL H1 has HD-SDI out I'm looking into getting a Kona card in the near future so that I'll be able to capture with less compression on the chrominance channels. And hopefully this will lead to better keys and color correction options.
So, I would say that if you're just doing straight shooting - say, a documentary or a basic commercial shoot or a video without a lot of green screen and whatnot, HDV isn't bad for the price. And if you've got the money to invest in the additional equipment and/or software needed to get the most out of HDV footage (to help you cope with and work around its limitations), then it's definitely worth working with. It's caused me quite a few headaches so far, but I think I still prefer it to DV overall.

Brushed metal? you seem to talk about another laptop.
I'm happy with my W510 after having memory module problems that i solved, the screen is great FHD and it's fast and built like a tank.
It is an old fashion conservative laptop, it's not for everyone, but you get what you pay for.
However i do feel Lenovo shouldn't have added USB3 ports to the laptop as they are not supported by BIOS at boot, also i think most manufacturers should drop Displayport as HDMI is standard on all projectors and TVs these days.

Are you happy with panel 9c9e on the mbp 13"?

Hi,
Just want to know if there is anyone elese that is happy with the infamous panael 9c9e on the macbook pro 13" . I've read a lot of posts about it but when i look att my screen I can't see the things I'm supposed to see - blue gets purple and all washed out colors. I just can see a bright and nice looking screen with accurate colors. What's wrong with me?

I upgraded from a unibody macbook to the new macbook pro with the 9C9E and can tell you that the screen is definitely better quality, but there are a few instances where I do notice that some blues go purple. It's not half as bad as people make it out to be, or maybe I just got lucky. I don't see neon yellow, or feel like I'm living in a purple wonderland; it's more like royal blue...google links are royal bluish/purple, the top bar is definitely royal blue (like if you click the apple logo) and craigslist looks a little purplish. This is all after calibrating multiple times. What I DO really notice is that scrolling down on a google search or other page does a weird graphic stuttering that my "old" unibody Macbook didn't do, as well as the display just not being as bright (I'd say about 70% as bright as the macbook was).
Honestly, I've had it for almost a week and a half and I'm undecided about whether or not I want to try and return it, since I got a refurb...and I'm getting more and more convinced that this is the type of thing that leads to madness in the long term. You could obsess about this stuff all day, and as you can tell by doing a google search, some people are.
