This looks great, So it will be free for all Bt customers? or will there be a smaller fee than normal. I expect you will not have info yet. I don't think my connection will be able to handle it tho. Some days I get 2 meg. Others I only get 1. Today I getting 1.2. I get up to 2 meg and my router drops connection (I know from config page) anyway to stop this? I got a Iplate, had someone remove the Bell wire, BT home hub 2.0,

Is LION OS working well for all you?

Is LION OS working well for all you? never thought it could be such a problem, it's the fisrt time it happens to me with an Apple product!. problems with safari, aperture, iphoto, opening/closing windows, right now is so close in performance to all windows versions than Apple high quality products at the level that all we have been expected with the release of Lion. Really dissappointed, and just hope that Apple tech suppor team solves this situation with a new sofware update.

For most yes, For me definitely yes. I upgraded over SL, used it for a week or more. Then updated my daughter's i5 MBP. that went well and she is happy. Then I updated my wife's MB Air. now THAT should tell you the confidence I have built in Lion. !!!

Possible solution for all you that have skipping songs, & scratchy sound

Hi All,
After upgrading to 7.02, I was extremely annoyed with the performance. But here's what I found and did. In a nutshell, you uninstall the new version and install a 6.05 version or earlier. I'll include some links to what I found and hopefully it'll help. Here's the first link and it describes what you need to do. Scroll down to the post by marlowe5 posted 10-08-2006, 8:06 A.M. and I also included the exact wording from the post below the link.
http://www.oldapps.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-228.html
This is the exact wording:
Thanks for the advise in this post... after installing iTunes 7, and then 7.01, my computer was running really slow, iTunes was skiping and garbling and acting terribly... so I really needed to go back to 6.05.
For all of you that need to do the same it's pretty easy:
I downloaded the 6.05 install file from from oldapps, uninstalled 7.01 and then re-installed 6.05. When I ran iTunes it did give me the error message that the library file was created in a new version and couldn't open, but I then deleted the 'itunes library.itl' file (in My Music > iTunes folder) and then replaced it with the backup that was automatically created when I installed 7.01 (in My Music > iTunes > Previous iTunes Libraries). iTunes then started up fine with all my music and playlists. And all the skipping and CPU bogging is better now.
Library file note:
With the library file, when you update iTunes it also updates the library file, which won't work with older versions. So you need to replace this file or create a new one. I would recommend copying/backing up the new library file to a different location to be safe instead of just deleting it. You'll see above where to find the new library file and prior ones. When I made these changes I did two things to be safe, 1) I moved the new "iTunes library.itl" to a backup location instead of deleting it 2) I moved my most recent old library file from(My Music > iTunes > Previous iTunes Libraries) to (My Music > iTunes folder)and renamed it to "iTunes library.itl". It was previously "iTunes library 2006-1-18.itl." Before renaming it, iTunes didn't find the library so renaming it worked. Your file name will most likely have a different date so don't look for the exact file I mentioned. Plus it's probably a good idea to make a copy or back up this library file too.
If you don't have any previous library files, you may need to create a new one. I don't have the info but I believe the link to the post should have that info.
After reading through the post and other info, the only thing that it appears might be lost are playlists that have been created since the upgrade. I don't believe any music should be lost but that's why it's safer to backup the new library just in case. I did not lose any music.
Also, here's a link to where I found old versions of iTunes:
http://www.filehippo.com/download_itunes/?1249
Hopefully this helps and good luck. I'm back to normal now.

Soccerteen,
Make sure you try all the other remedies mentioned in other posts. If this didn't work for you then try below. I consider it a last ditch effort since it's going back to a previous version, which unfortunately works much better than 7.0x for me.
Remove & backup your current library file to a different file/location to be safe. Once you do that, uninstall 7.02, and then install 6.05 or any 6 version. Once 6.0x is installed and you've opened it, you'll need to create a new library file. If you've removed the library file from (My Music > iTunes folder)it should load up with a blank slate. What you to do from this point is create a new library file. Read the oldapps link, the post from "Admin" dated 9-30-2006 5:30 PM should help. Most likely all of your music will be under one main file but you might have to add individual folders one at a time depending on how much music you have. Since I didn't have to go this route, I'm not sure if it's the best route but after reading multiple post, this was the most common suggestion. Worst case scenario, you can always reload 7.02 an reinsert the backup library file, which will put you back where you started.
Hope that works for you and good luck!

Challenge for all you great programmers out there...i need help!

Okay, my name is Tom. I am attending a small private
college where the computer program is very small. There are
no Java professors or any professors with any experience.
The library has only 3 beginner books on Java as well. So,
for my extremely ambitious Internal Internship Project I
need some help. I have taken a beginner course and am very
apt to learning, so this shouldn't be over my head. Now to
the project:
GUI
I have envisioned a utility automation program. Basically,
There is 1 main pane in the GUI. I have already designed it
but am open to suggestions. It consists of the important
parts: The utilty buttons (on the left), the textArea (in
the middle), and checkboxes (on the right). When opening
the program, the textArea will simply display instructions
on how to use the program. There will be as many buttons as
utilities there are (for now i am experimenting with
defrag), and the checkboxes will be aligned with the
utility buttons but to the right of the textArea.
Function
When each utility button is clicked, a description of the
utility comes up in the textArea. If you decide to use it
then check the appropriate checkbox to the right of the
textArea. Once you choose all the utilities that you want
to do, then you hit the start button.
Execution
This will automate all of the programs so you can leave and
come back.
Things needed
I need to know how to import text files to the textArea,
how to program the textAreas to come up, and one final
thing for now. I will have to somehow set the parameters to
those applications automatically (Ex: "what drive to
defrag"). So, my first thought would be create a popup
window that asks for all of the parameters needed for each
utility, define those values as variables, and then when
the utilities ask for them in the automation feed them the
variables.
I have put about 25 hours into making the GUI, and
designing the structure. I need a ton of help if I want to
get this done. I am using Netbeans for convenience but I'm
not sure i know how to insert custom code.
Any help the ANYONE can give me would be extremely
appreciated.
Thanks to all, and have a great day.
Tom

Thanks for all you early adopters-seriously

Sincere thanks for all of you who jumped in and started using it. I am sure that it is a better computer because of all the feedback that the company has received. I have been reading the posts and am looking forward to getting the next edition/revision.
As one poster wrote, the advantage you have over me is that you have the computer to use now, and I am waiting. It will be a much used and appreciated tool when I get one. The funds are not available for me to get one yet but am looking at the beginning of the year.
The only ones I have seen are in stores. I wish I knew how loud the fans get when they come on as I have not heard them.
Some have described them as really loud. Any input here?
It looks like most of the main issues that I have read about have been resolved. The latest seems to be the dependability of the SuperDrive, but they may just be that percentage of products that are problematic out of the box.
I get the impression that these things are selling like hot cakes, so the numbers out there vs. the posts are probably staggering.
Thanks again, and I hope everyone gets their computer working the way they expect it to.

Hey, you're welcome! Hahaha
Well I've had mine for over 3 months now and I've zero problems with it. To answer some of your questions:
- the fans do not get horrendously loud as some people have stated. The only time I've heard them on is when I'm playing games (call of duty 2, halo, tiger woods), encoding a dvd, watching large videos on iTunes; so pretty much cpu intensive tasks. They don't come on with usual surfing, chatting, emailing, word processing.
- yeah, i've read the posts about the superdrives too. But I haven't had any problems with mine. I've ripped about 10-15 music cd's from my collection and burned many dvd's with it without a problem.
Enjoy your macbook when you get it!

Creating a multiclip sequence, HERE'S A REAL STUMPER for all you Pros...

Ok,
this one is a real doozy. We've tried everything we can think of.
Workflow: Three HDX-900 cameras, jam-synced to clocktime and shooting a sports event at 30p (59.94fps) DVCProHD. Recording onto FireStore-100s and backing up onto DVCProHD tape. Dumping firestore DVCProHD footage directly into FCS2. Everything looks and sounds great. We labeled each angle field in FCP according to the camera (A, B, C). We carefully labelled the reel numbers according to our project (P1031308A0101).
I selected the 3 bins (each bin holds the footage from each camera) and made a multiclip sequence. It was UNABLE to make a 60 minute multiclip with the footage from the three cameras spread out according to their timecode. It kept trying to make about 30 multiclips, few of them with overlapping timecode. a couple of the clips did sync together into a 3 camera segment, but most of them failed to find each other. We played with the overlap slider and all of the settings in the multiclip window, and at various points FCP tried to offer us 4 or even 5 camera angles of footage, all from our three angles, each with its own embedded and (seemingly) functional TC. It would NOT simply do the obvious-- take the free-run timecode and arrange each clip along a linear timeline within that timeframe and multiclip them together to form a three-angle view of the sports event.
Why not?????
Now, one issue we have with this workflow is that the FS-100 drives are unfortunately FAT32, meaning every 2.2 minutes (2 gigs) the FS-100 automatically cuts the footage into 2 gig chunks. but in a regular non-multiclip sequence, this split-up doesn't seem to affect the footage, or timecode at all, and the first frame of the new clip is one TC frame after the last frame of the previous clip, the way it is supposed to. I don't know if this is relevant.
Also, I don't know if this is relevant: We have been shooting in 59.94 fps, 30p, and we have been using the 60@30 method of viewing TC in the viewer and the project settings.
I am thinking that if there was a way to take all my 2.2 minute clips and put them together into a giant master clip (without exporting and losing quality) then my simplified work environment would allow for a working multiclip.
There are three of us in the edit room and we have been trying to multiclip this stuff for hours. We need this solved today. Is there anyone who has an idea? I think we've tried everything obvious. Our computer is a new MacPro with 4gb RAM, capturing onto an eSATA hard drive

Kevan,
Thanks for the hey hey.
TonyTony,
I have lots and lots of 2 minute clips. But we finally figured it out. It's a failing of FCP's multiclip feature to recognize segmented files that originated on a FAT32 drive. Basically, you simply can't, as of FCS2, make multiclips from several files that were automatically split into 2gig segments, even if their timecodes were maintained.
So the solution: I took each camera's footage, lots and lots of 2 minute clips, and pasted them together in quicktime pro to make a longer sequence. then i saved a reference file to the long sequence and brought that into FCP. I did the same for the files from the other 2 cameras. Then multiclipped those reference movies.
The newest version of the FireStore firmware has a setting that lets you create a quicktime reference movie from within the firestore that links the segments together. so my workflow for the future involves making these reference movie, bringing only the reference movies into FCP, and multiclipping them. problem solved.
probably 2 people who are reading this understand what i'm talking about; i'm not particularly great at explaining things. but we're back up and running . thanks for reading.

For all you folks trying to install a new DVD burner with no luck

I just bought a Panasonic UJ 841 for my Toshiba A100. It contains BOTH master and slave firmware. I installed the drive and like most of you it disn't see the drive in the BIOS. I contacted the guy in Taiwan who I bought the drive from and he showed me the slickest trick I have seen in a while. You DO NOT NEED TO FLASH THE FIRMWARE TO MAKE IT A SLAVE DRIVE. Here is his fix and photos telling you how to deal with the problem. I take no responsibility if you screw up your drive doing this. It requires no soldering. It worked for me like a charm. This is for your information only. If you do it you do it at your own risk. (which is very little).

Enjoy. Hope it helps you all out. May also work with other drives but this one I know for sure it does. If you need one of these drives they are 76.00 free shipping at http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350148525780&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123

For all you old Mac Users

Remember INITS? Small wonderful applications that you could install and just do about anything with. Though I am a obvious now a OS. X user I need a INIT type application.
I am looking for a good, old fashioned Monitor/Display Utility, to simply adgust my Contrast, Levels & Balances.
I have tried the typical ColorSync Utility and the Display/System Preferences Panel and they are... useless[at least for this cause].
Does anybody know of a OS X Utility INIT that can achieved this?

On question, where would you keep files that are not current but not old if you get me. For example, a folder of short, funny movie clips that is added to rarely, but is added to?
The only difference is that I keep my raw footage, for fear of needing it in the future.
I keep all raw footage, i.e. I keep the original tapes.
The finished movies end up on a DVD (also a kind of backup), the TS files are kept on the external in its Movie Folder for instant playback as required, as are those snippets, free title sequences (clouds, waves etc), and bits and pieces one receives from friends and relatives. These all have an alias in the Movies Folder on the internal drive so Front Row can find them. Similar setup with the iTunes library.
My Documents Folder is also backed up regularly on to DVDs, but otherwise just kept up to date as part of the regular cloning.
Not (yet) having a digital camera, my 9000 or so scanned negatives and slides (200 dpi TIFF files, each around 8MB) are sorted in folders by year, each of which is backed up on DVDs, and the entire 'Archive' is backed up on the external drive on two different partitions. Yes, I know, that is like keeping the only two copies of your will in the same safe, but for me that will have to do!
As for fragmentation, that really is not a problem with OS X. Perhaps one could, every year or two, delete the internal drive and clone back from the clone, if you see what I mean. But even via firewire it takes half a day to copy up to 200GB, and life is short enough already!

Do I have a tech support issue for all you guys...

Hey all. First time poster to the MSI boards. About a month ago I bought a 2nd XFX GeForce 7950GT M570 Extreme Edition video card to go SLI with my gaming rig. So one weekend I install SLI in my system. I set the SLI switch card that came with my MSI mobo to SLI, plug the 2 cards in, fire up the system, log into Windows and...hey look. My expansion PCI sound card is no longer recognized by the system (my Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Gamer [which was my card about a month ago] is now not a Sound Blaster Audigy ZS 2 according to Windows it is now a "Multimedia Audio Controller" not a "PCI Multimedia Audio Controller" according to Windows) and Windows wants to reinstall the audio even though the driver is still clearly there in the system and recognized.
So I go to install the latest Audigy 2 driver for Windows and I get this error message: "Setup cannot detect a supported product within your system. Please ensure you have properly installed the product and then run Setup again. Setup will exit." Since then I have also tried all the following troubleshooting remedies:
- Tried installing the driver through pointing Windows directly to the .inf file for the sound card. Result: Failed! Error message reads as follows: "Windows cannot verify the hardware that goes with this driver. If you continue you greatly risk causing extreme corruption within Windows and extreme instability within Windows. Do you want to continue? Yes or no?"
- Tried moving the sound card to all 3 PCI slots on my motherboard. Result: Failed! Windows can't properly detect the sound card no matter PCI slot its in.
- Bought a new audio card (a Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Gamer instead of the old Audigy 2 ZS Gamer) and put that in the system: Result: Failed! Windows can't detect the new card properly either.
- Flashed the BIOS on my motherboard to the newest version. Result: Failed...to fix the problem! Windows still couldn't detect the card.
- Uninstalled motherboard and ForceWare drivers and tried to install the system going motherboard driver, audio driver, graphics driver. Result: Failed! Windows still wouldn't detect the card properly nor would let the driver operate.
- Installed latest motherboard driver over the old one. Result: Failed! Windows still wouldn't detect it.
So after all this...does anybody here have any other ideas? My specs are in my signature. Thanks. Out!

Well, just changed out the Enermax PSU with a Thermaltake Toughpower 750W and...failed! The system still will not detect the sound card properly to install it. It's like I always believed though...that the PSU had nothing to do with this at all! I knew it had nothing to do with this, but in the sense of full scale troubleshooting it was another step and even though it didn't lead anywhere it further singles out the problem which I have always believed to be a BIOS/motherboard/Windows problem. In other words, this MSI board I have cannot do SLI and run an expansion sound card at the same time but can only do SLI under the onboard sound chip. That's right. I bet there's not one board member here using my motherboard, SLI and an expansion sound card at the same time in their system. Again, to play it this is a motherboard design weakness. And a reinstallation of Windows won't fix this either because of what I have described. Guess I got to get another motherboard and try that cause as gamer law goes, "Never use onboard sound with a gaming rig otherwise its not a real gaming rig." Out!

One for all you advanced action gurus out there :)

Ok so here is what im wanting to achieve.... on a slide i have various click box's that pop up some more info.
I want a continue button to appear only after all the click box's have been viewed..
In the past i have been able to achieve this when the click box's on the page direct you to another slide for the information, this way i have an advanced action set up on my initial page 'on enter' to see when all have been viewed to then show the continue button.
In this instance its slightly different as i will never be 'entering' the slide again, i want to remain on the slide at all times?
Possible??? let me know your thoughts?
Thanks

This will certainly be an example use case for conditional action with multiple decisions in my 'cookbook' for variables and advanced actions that I'm preparing.
The only events you can use are the Success events for the click boxes (or other interactive objects) which means that for each of them you'll need a conditional action with a mimicked standard action and a real condition to check if every click box has been clicked. Have multiple examples on my blog post, and in threads here everywhere. You have to make one important choice:
Can each click box be clicked multiple times, or is it OK to deactivate it when it has been clicked - that is the easiest way, because you can then use one variable as a counter and check if it reaches the number of click boxes
Example: http://blog.lilybiri.com/blog-after-posterous-clickclick
If each click box should be always available, you need a variable for each click box to toggle and you'll have to check if all variables have been toggled
Example (old): http://blog.lilybiri.com/template-for-reusing-script
Have new templates for CP7 and CP6 but stopped offering everything for free. You can still have the 5.5 on request.

Script request for all you amazing scripters!

I am wanting to open an image, if it's a horizontal image then resize it to 605 by 403. If it's a vertical image then resize it to 403 by 605. Then if its horizontal, open a logo PSD (Horiz_Logo.psd)and place it on top. If its a vertical open a different logo PSD (Vert_Logo.psd) and place it on top, then save.
Can anyone assist me? I am very new to the scripting scene so all this is baffling to me. Thanks so much!

Hi Zerty,
I've modified one of the javascripts I use for placing a logo on an image to do what you asked for. It will will place one of two pre-saved logo images onto your 605 x 403 images depending whether they are horizontal or vertical. The script does not do the resizing for you. You would need to do that in an action using fit image or something similar. You can call the script from an action.
I have used the following paths for the location of the images, if you want to use a different one you can easily edit the scripts for yourself. Please make sure you keep the forward slashes in the path where appropriate.
/D/My Documents/My Pictures/Images/Horiz_Logo.psd
/D/My Documents/My Pictures/Images/Vert_Logo.psd
You can download the script from this link.

A tip/hint for all you software instrument users or should be users

unless Apple starts making thicker, fuller sounding instruments for midi usage
or sound fonts get better or the interfase is built up to allow for easy and good midi out functioning thus the ability to layer external synths, you are stuck with the sounds you get.
But a tremendous perk for your musical compositions in GB is the ability to copy a track of midi data or audio data and even triple or quadruple it. Using the same or different instruments and effects will certainly come close to professionalizing the sound. You might need lots of power to do this. I dont know and its a shame that GB is a RAM eater. It might seem like a severe neurosis or ridiculous overkill but i run GB without any other app on except mail and with 10 GB RAM on a MACPRO and as soon as the new ones come out soon
<edited by host - see the [Terms of Use|http://discussions.apple.com/help.jspa#terms] section 2.1.1>. I cant see fully enjoying GB without lots of power. Its ease of use has me hooked and what can be done with it with a lot of patience and tricks like the one i gave you is astounding. I bought LOGIC EXPRESS a few years ago and threw it in the Garbage it tortured me so and stopped me from making music. I dont want more manuals. I want melodic passages.
So triple your data tracks and add effects and save up for a powerful MAC and make GB really do a better job for you.

take care best of luck,

Mastering is a life long pursuit. No matter how much you do there is always something more you can learn and do. Long term practice of the art of mastering often leads to ones "style" or technique but the learning never stops.
I think the best way to get an overall grip on modern mixing today for me at least is from absorption from the magazine Computer Music.
http://www.computermusic.co.uk/
It is available in the U.S.
It may seem overwhelming at first read but over time if you read the articles even without fully understanding them the process of osmosis begins to set in.
I think the articles in this magazine can really enlighten the reader to a lot of different approaches to mixing and mastering.
Its really a great wealth of technique. After a year of just exposing yourself to it you will be light years ahead in mixing and mastering technique. That includes everything from compression on ward.
If you do not work with or in a pro mixing house it is not all that easy to learn many of these techniques. This is the advantage of a magazine like Computer Music. Its like visiting Bob down in mixing bay A and sitting with him while he does a session.

For all you who have problems here is the fix for your phone.

Most of you on here don't understand that 3.x or if you have jailbreak your pass software and set it up from back up you are going to have problems. That can be from drop calls to not having the phone working right.
The 4.0 software has been rewritten completed for the new and old phones. So if you were on 3.x and update to 4.0 then you are bring in a bugs into 4.0. You have to set up as NEW PHONE not from back up. This clean your phone with a fresh software then you add your stuff from your computer. Then you have to go to general and go and reset your network settings. That reset your carrier account with the new 4.0. That because the new 4.0 is now looking to find the tower which has the less people on the tower not which tower is close to you. This way you get a better service and sound of it.
If you still have problems all of you with your iPhone 4 then it a hardware problem. You have to go to the Apple store and replace the phone. Apple will be happy to replace the phone. If not you have 30 days to get your full refund from Apple.
That is it. Nothing hard about it. It's a software problem of a hardware problem. BTW my new iPhone 4 is much better in sound and not having any drop calls than my old 3GS. If you have problems with drop calls is because you are in area which has a week tower which is so busy and can't keep up with the system. That a ATT problem which ATT is working hard to fix it but it can't get the equipment from their supplies fast enough to fix the problem with the network.
I hope this answer your problems on here.

I know this sounds like a bit of Voodoo, but it's worth a try. If you've upgraded to the new iPhone 4 and have restored your old software, you may see what appears to be a signal drop-off. Let's stay away from the whole iPhone 4 "death grip" controversy; that aside, no matter what you do, you're not seeing as many bars or getting reception that's as good as what you had with your older iPhone.
Here's something to try. On your iPhone preferences, navigate to "General," and then scroll down to the bottom where it says "Reset." Tap that, and then tap "Reset Network Settings." You'll get a warning, and the phone will reset to factory defaults. You'll likely lose some Wi-Fi passwords, but you may also find that your cellular reception gets a lot better.
I have two friends who tried this, and they went from one or two bars to four or five at the same locations. This is the same trick they are doing at the Genius Bar, and my research shows that it can help in many (but not all) cases. We've talked about this fix before, but we have a lot of new readers, and some old ones, who may have missed it. There are also some discussions about this on the Apple support board. If you have seen a drop-off in reception, it's certainly worth a try. If it doesn't work, we're sorry. If it does, well, the price is right for the fix. Let us know in the comments if it helped, or sadly, if it didn't.

For all you DBAs - Export Related Question.

I have a database with 3 tablespaces. Each tablespace has a defined user schema that has been populated with all the objects needed for production.
Now that the structure ahs been created and in in place I want to back it up. What I want is to be able to create a script that when run will reproduce the entire structure as it is now (3 tablespaces, the users, the objects, etc).
Should I back up each tablespace or can I back up the entire database?
What tool can I use to do this?
Thank yo for your assistance.

You tryout with the sql export utility, by selecting the complete database option. that will server your purpose.
