ATI and TVout plus games problems
Hi,
So I really hate ATI by now but since switching to nvidia ain't and option atm I might as well ask for user input on couple of problems:
1st: Tvout, I guess to get working tvout i must use fglrx? Tvout works as clone atm but is it possible to get same extended desktop and videos playing in fullscreen tv-overlay as in windows? or atleast how to change the clone-tv-out resolution? any working configs would be appreciated.
2nd: While fglrx seems to have better fps than opensource ones, why the hell do games (nexuiz, true-combat, flightgear for one) go from 60+ fps to a crawl as soon as some otherplayer/cpu moves at screen?
Atleast tremulous works just fine.
Using amd3000 and radeon9600pro with ck kernel and usually resolution off 1680x1050 (although lowering res. doesn't seem to help at all)
Anyone else experiencing these?
PS. I could just switch to opensource ati drivers and get compiz and play in windows but then I'd still loose tvout rite? (big minus and ATI really sucks)

Well nevermind my ranting, The more i use linux the more angry i get that things ain't up to windows level
Answering myself:
1st: for tvout must use fglrx or opensource drivers with crappy apps like atitvout or gatos. so basically its fglrx only and even that ain't too shabby.
2nd: No idea, just a crappy driver I think.
3rd: No compiz without xgl and xgl just plain sux (xfreezes, kernel panicks with opengl apps, not possible to spawn another x screen?)
So in short buy nvidia / intel.

IPhone 6 and 6 plus bending problem sollution
Hello Apple,
recently as some of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus users are having the issue of bending, I found out a sollution for this problem. And the sollution is that Apple can make a strong case which protects the Iphone 6 and 6 plus from bending.
THis is a way out as if apple goes out with the sollution of redesigning it is not going to be suitable as apple has already manufactured so many iPhone 6 and plaus.
HOpe Apple takes my Sollution and all the best.I Have done some more testing and it seems turning off HDR resolves the issue

Internet Explorer 9, 10 and 11 have games problems on Facebook.
I Have been trying for 2 months to solve the problem with Internet Explorer 11 and games on Facebook. Each time I click on a game I get a login page which flashes on and off. The only way to stop it is to close Internet Explorer. I contacted Facebook and
put a report in and I am still waiting after 2 months for a reply. I have since removed IE 11 and also IE 10 which makes it I am now using IE 9. I have reset IE 9 to no avail and I am now at a loss as to what the problem is. I am using Windows 7 on a pc.

IPhone 6 and 6 Plus "big" problem, is there any proven solution?
I'd like to know if there is any good solution to the size problem. Most people, other than NBA players, can't really handle the 6 Plus one-handed as we know. But using it one-handed is so desired sometimes, for example when carrying coffee in one hand, and phone in the other texting friends. So is there any way to do this simple and common task?
Someone will surely suggest that if the phone is too large for your hand, perhaps you should get a smaller one.
The better answer would be that the phones have a feature called reachability, which shifts the screen down when you double touch the home button. You can read about it in the iOS 8 user guide. -
Macbook Air random freeze and reboot, plus other problems
I've had my Macbook Air for about 6 weeks and am having several issues. It is the 13" model, special ordered with 8GB of ram so it came straight from the factory. I copied all my data over from a mid-2010 15" Macbook Pro using migration assistant, and for the most part it has been a wonderful machine. There are a few problems, however, and now it is getting more serious.
First, I visited my closest Apple store to have them look at the wifi and bluetooth connection. It was not picking up wifi after waking up, and the same for my bluetooth mouse. They replaced some files and tested it out and it appeared to be fixed, but the problem persists. At least 50% of the time when I wake it up after leaving for 30-60 minutes, I click the mouse and it wakes up, but then there is no response when I move or click the mouse again. I often have to turn the mouse off and on several times to get it to connect.
Wifi is the same, though not as bad. Probably 10% of the time, it will not connect to a known wifi spot after wake. Sometimes it even tells me that none of my trusted networks are available, even when the network I use everyday is listed as available. This is a minor inconvenience, but it is a problem I never had with the macbook pro. Instead of picking up wifi within 10 seconds of wake, it can take as long as 60-90 seconds.
Now the real issues begin. Yesterday morning I stepped away from the computer for a few minutes, and when I returned it had rebooted itself. I do not know why. Only a few programs were running, nothing like system update that would restart the computer. I did a search online but could not find anything recent enough to point to a possible problem.
Then this morning it froze while I was using it. Mouse and keyboard (both external and the ones on the laptop) stopped responding. After a few minutes of waiting I finally shut it down by holding the power button until it turned off. This was alarming, especially less than 2 months after buying the machine. I will likely make an appointment at the Apple store again but these issues happen randomly and if I can't reproduce it they have little hope of diagnosing the problem.
Has anyone else had similar issues? I have run system update and nothing else is pending. This weekend I may restore it to factory settings and load all my data manually instead of copying from timemachine, but that is a royal pain. I'm looking for any suggestions of what to do because I planned to use this computer for years and the first 6 weeks have been very frustrating.It is probably best to return to the Apple store for assistance, however, you do have 90 days of phone (in the US 800-275-2273) access to Apple which you can use too. If you buy Applecare anytime in the first year of ownership, the warranty and phone access is extended for a total of 3 years coverage (warranty and phone).

OC4J and SQL Plus: ORACLE_HOME problem
I installed (unzip) latest version of OC4J standalone. OS is Windows XP professional. After unziping I put enviroment varibles ORACLE_HOME and JAVA_HOME and started ocj4 -start. It works OK. But I cannot run SQL Plus anymore (because it has different ORACLE_HOME) . What should I do to run both: SQL Plus and OC4J (which are installed on the same computer)?
Message was edited by:
user529386Hi All
Correct. Oracle application server wants to point ORACLE_HOME variable to its home directory and to smooth functionality of Oracle DB it also need same environment variable (ex sqlplus, sqlldr).
Try this, this may work.
1) Do not set ORACLE_HOME environment variable in profiles. (In UNIX systems do not set ORACLE_HOME in .profiles files and windows system does not set it using -> System Properties (Right Click My Computer -> proprieties) -> Advanced -> Environment variables). If it is already set please unset that.
2) Open cmd and check ORACLE_HOME is set or not (in windows u can use echo %ORACLE_HOME% and Unix/Linux u can use echo $ORACLE_HOME). If it is set please unset ORALCE_HOME environment variable.
3) To start application server open cmd, follow step 2 and set ORALCE_HOME home to oracle application server home and then u can run the command to start oracle application server. If u want to use script to start app server what u have to do is u can set ORALCE_HOME environment variable inside script and point it to app server home.
4) If u want to run the Oracle DB utilities please open the another cmd , follow the step 2 and set ORACLE_HOME environment variable to Oracle DB home. And then execute DB utilities commands.
Note: - What we have to do is simply point to correct oracle home to before execute commands
Thanks

I made a purchase with my debit card on The Simpson Tapped out game, And now my game won't open. It just kicks me out every time I click on it. How do I fix this problem with out deleting my app?
Personally, I would never use a debit card online, for security reasons. If your card gets hacked its your money that is stolen. At least with a credit card it is the card providers money that is stolen.
Anyway, I would delete the app and re-install. If you paid for the app in the first place you will be able to re-install free of charge. Also, the app should allow the in-app purchase to happen again as it should recognise that you have already purchased it previously.
Finally, it might be that the 3G doesnt have as much ram as more recent models of iphone and you may have applications running in the background that are preventing the app to function with the in-app purchase unless you shut down any apps eating all you memory that are running in the background. Shut-down these apps (and the simpson tap out app) by exiting to your home screen and double-tapping the home button to show what apps are running in the background. press and hold any of the open apps until it starts shaking. close all the apps down. exit then re-launch the app.
good luck. -
I have a new iPhone 6 plus and all is OK. But the mail shows more than 400 'unread' messages whereas there are none in the mailbox or trash or anywhere else I have looked. I can send and receive with no problem. I'm sure I have no unread messages.
jsavage9621,
It pains me to hear about your experience with the Home Phone Connect. This device usually works seamlessly and is a great alternative to a landline phone. It sounds like we've done our fair share of work on your account here. I'm going to go ahead and send you a Private Message so that we can access your account and review any open tickets for you. I look forward to speaking with you.

Using More than One iDevice on the Same Computer
This applies mainly to couples who are adding another device and do not want their email, messages, etc. being duplicated on both devices. To begin read: How to use multiple iPhone, iPad, or iPod devices with one computer. You need to establish a separate Apple ID and password for whomever will use the new iDevice. See Apple - My Apple ID and Frequently asked questions about Apple ID. The easiest way is to do this on the computer using iTunes: iTunes- How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes.
On the computer create a new user account for the person with the new iDevice. This will be the user account that person will always use. He/She will no longer use the other user account. This way that person will have a separate iTunes Library. Note that once done you cannot "share" apps under a single Apple ID. Each of you must purchase your own apps under your own Apple ID. When you decide to split up like this one of you will need to re-purchase the apps that they want to use.
Start by transferring the new device(s) to a new account along with all your data. Save any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless they are already in the camera roll) by opening your Photos app, tap on Albums icon at the bottom. Now, tap on My Photo Stream album; tap Select; tap on the photos you want to select;, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow) in the lower left corner; then tap Save to Camera Roll.
If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep then you need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself. Later you can copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.
Tap on Settings > iCloud > Delete Account (only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; the person keeping the current account will not be affected,) provide the password to turn off Find My Phone and choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted. Sign in with a different Apple ID to create your new account. Choose Merge to upload your data.
Once you are on separate accounts, you can each go to icloud.com and delete the other person's data from your account.
Note: The essence of the above was created by user, randers4. I
have made substantial changes to improve readability and syntax. -
Yes you placed a hold but then when I went to complete an in app purchase it says I can't. I have no restrictions on this **** thing and never had this problem.. Why won't your iTunes communicate with my games so I can purchase stuff. I have an iPad mini just trying to play a **** game.
We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
If you are getting an error message then what is the full text of it ?
The temporary store holding charge is standard, it should disappear within a few days or so. -
Problems with 10.5.4 and older video games
I have a new MacBook running OS X 10.5.4 and I have a copy of an older video game (Diablo II) that installs fine when the OS X installer is used, but the game always fails to launch. I always get the "this application quit unexpectedly" screen when I try and start the game. In doing some research on this, I have found that the most likely answer is that the newest versions of OS X don't give the option to use 256 colors mode, which is what the game needs to launch. Does anyone know if this is indeed the case, and how I can work around it so I can get the game running? Also, since I'm a Mac newb, if I can't run this game, how do I fully uninstall the program? What I mean is, what is the Mac equivalent of Add/Remove Programs on Windows? Thanks.

Find out about the new Diablo III:
http://www.blizzard.com/diablo3/index.xml
Uninstalling an application from a Mac depends on how it was installed. If you install the app by just dragging it into the applications folder then you can just drag it to the trash. If you install a program that uses an installer program, the the installer program may have the ability to uninstall the program, or the company may include an uninstaller.
You can also use a program like AppZapper to find system files related to a program, and delete those files also. -
Best Buy is about to and Elite Plus customer
I've been an extremely loyal Best Buy customer for over 20 years. I've been an Elite rewards member for 6 years, and Elite Plus since the new tier was created. I've already re-qualified for Elite Plus for next year. Needless to say, I shop at BBY several times per week.
That may all change unless they can fix this colossal f$#k-up that is placing several of my pre-orders in jeopardy.
Long story short: I've placed 6 orders that consist of video game pre-orders for limited edition versions, which are now fully reserved at all retailers, as well as several other pre-orders for pretty much every A-list release coming in Q4/Q1. Some of these orders were placed as far back as February, right when the items became available for pre-order.
My BBY credit card was recently updated from the in-store card to the BBY Platinum Mastercard. The old card--which I used for all of those orders--has now been deactivated. I've updated my account to include my new card as primary payment, but there is no self-help option to specifically update your payment on existing orders.
I hit a snag when two of my orders that released yesterday went to process, and were denied payment, since they tried to ping the old card. These orders were then cancelled for invalid payment before I had a chance to respond to the email regarding a payment problem.
I called support today, to see if they could manually update the payment information on my outstanding orders, and we found in a conference call with Citibank support that even though my new card is valid, since the process of updating existing orders doesn't provide a way to enter the CVV code of my new card (since it's not required by .com's systems), when they go to enter the order, it registers as a CVV mismatch and the payment is denied. After a few tries with one of my orders for a common-stock item, the order hit enough denied payments to be automatically cancelled.
After being on the phone with them for 3 HOURS, I was essentially told that they had no way of fixing this. The problem is, that when these limited-edition pre-orders hit their release date, they will encounter the same payment error and then be automatically cancelled. But, if that happens, or if we cancel the existing orders and I attempt to re-order them, THEY WILL BE OUT OF STOCK AND UNAVAILABLE!! Essentially, unless this error is fixed, I will lose all of my limited-edition pre-orders and since I can't order them anywhere else, I won't be able to replace the order anywhere, unless I shell out a ton of money on the secondary market.
Obviously, I don't find this satisfactory. I've entrusted Best Buy with thousands of dollars of pre-orders, and because of a stupid glitch in their system, they have now essentially told me that this is an inevitable problem that even their top tier of support cannot correct, and they offered nothing to fix the situation to ensure that I will receive the items that I had ordered several months in advance.
This is absolutely outrageous, and it's the last straw. If someone from Best Buy is reading this and can help fix the situation before my first LE pre-order of Q4 enters processing on 11/3/14, I would ask that they please contact me. Otherwise, this screw-up is enough to finally end my two decades of loyalty at Best Buy.
I am very serious about this. If no solution is found, and my orders continue to get auto-cancelled, I intend to cancel all remaining pre-orders (over 15 pending items), cash out my $500 worth of banked points, then cancel my Best Buy accounts and never set foot in a store or visit them online again.
I know people often make these claims of "never again" to be hyperbolic and blow off steam, but this is not just idle talk or grandstanding. With Amazon Prime giving me release-day delivery and competitive prices, and 3 GameStops and 2 Apple stores within a 10 mile radius, I could very easily get by without ever giving Best Buy my business again, and I am fully prepared to do so if these orders cannot be rectified.
I would figure that Best Buy would go the extra mile to take care of their most loyal customers. Heck, with how the customer base has eroded, I would figure they'd bend over backwards for ANY customer. I can't imagine Best Buy can afford to lose too many more customers like me, but they're about to, unless something gets fixed and fast.
Ball is in your court, Best Buy.Good afternoon zsciaeount,
Thank you for being a loyal Elite Plus customer. I am terribly disappointed to read about all the wasted time and frustration you have been through regarding your pre-orders. Updating your credit card information on these orders should not be so difficult, and I am truly very sorry for all the inconvenience and frustration you have encountered.
According to our records, I see you are working with our Executive Resolution team. I encourage you to continue to work with them to get this resolved immediately to avoid any more pre-orders from being impacted. Should you still need my assistance please do not hesitate to let me know. I assure you it is my goal to help our loyal customers in any way I can. I will also be documenting your experience for further review.
Once again, I am truly very sorry for any disappointment this has caused, and I hope we are fortunate to continue to have you as a loyal Best Buy customer.
Sincerely,
Maria|Social Media Specialist | Best Buy® Corporate

Resolution capped at 1136x640 on iPhone 6 and 6 Plus
Hello all,
Using Starling or native display list, I simply can't get to render at the true resolution of an iPhone 6 (1337x750) or an iPhone 6 Plus (1920x1080).
Using AIR 15, 16.0.0.283 AND 17.0.0.96 (yes I saw that uploaded a few hours ago) on Windows or Mac.
I've had problems in the past with recognizing resolutions due to launch images being improperly configured. I do however have the [email protected] (1242x2208 for iPhone 6 Plus) properly loading since the release of AIR 16.0.0.2**.
The very problem is apparent in the main class at boot time with the native stage.
stage.stageWidth = 1920 (configured in-line from the .swf)
stage.fullScreenWidth = 1136 (actual runtime resolution)
This problem ONLY occurs with iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. Desktop builds, iPad retina and non-retinas and Android devices work well. I've tried every possible configuration in the descriptor, normal and fullscreen mode, etc etc.
For the time being I have my game do scaling and the rendering looks OK, but it still isn't running at the native resolution of the device.
Has anyone else had this issue?
Thank you!Hi Nicola,
Thanks for reporting the problem, However we verified it and found that you are using incorrect launch image name for iPhone 6 and iPhone plus. Please find below the correct names.
iPhone 6 : [email protected] ( 750x 1334 )
iPhone 6 plus : [email protected] (1242 x 2208)
Please let us know if you still face any difficulty.

Satellite Pro P200-15W: ATI Mobility HD2600 drivers & game bugs
Hello,
first, please, forgive my English, I use a translator
message of Ati:
+""thank you for contacting AMD Customer Care for ATI products!+
+The only version you can use for your card is the one available at your laptop manufacturers website. Unfortunately with the 2k Radeon series cards, laptop manufacturers decided to be the only providers of the drivers. We can't offer you any software.""+
This is a big problem, because the shortcomings are excluded in for example some games.
I have problems with Bioshock (and others), the recent drivers of Ati solve and improve many things, but they do not exist for the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600.
I have Windows vista Business, in one new Satellite Pro P200-15W, is a very good laptop, but unfortunately without drivers updated with the last improves of the manufacturer Ati, will have lost of yield and bugs without resolving (I believe)
Does exist any way of solving this?
thank you
Pablo> Is here the technical service of Toshiba?
It seems that this is only a user-to-user forum. No technicians from Toshiba here!
>How is it possible that do not allow using the last drivers of ATI?
Because the notebooks graphic cards are not the same like GPUs for notebooks!
The Toshiba graphic card drivers are a little bit modified. The drivers support an overheating protection to prevent the notebooks GPU from damage.
The graphic cards in the notebooks dont support a own huge cooling modules like the desktops GPUs.
Therefore the graphic driver must control the temperature growth. If the temp increases to a critical level, the GPU driver decreases the graphic card performance to lower the temp.
The original ATI graphic drivers dont support such feature!!
But there should be a possibility to use the ATI drivers.
You have to download the driver package from ATI and should install the driver from device manager.
There choose Install from a list or specific location -> Dont search. I will choose the driver to install.
Then choose simply the INF file which was downloaded with the package.
But note; such drivers can be used only at your own risk!!! -
Safari and google plus site issues.
Safari and google plus crashes when I go to the google plus website, but it works with my other browser apps. Help? I am using the mac retina display.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if Safari crashed, you would enter "Safari" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.
