Coolest Thing I've Ever Seen!!!
Hi, Does ANYONE know how they did this? I've never seen anything like it before and was wondering if it's a component or sonmething that I could buy. If anyone has any ideas I'd really appreciate it!!

Minidv - the strangest thing I've ever seen
I started a thread last week asking if minidv was dead. I asked this because it appeared that my Panasonic minidv camera was broken and I wondered if I should make the move to a different format. Bottom line: There was no need to leave minidv at this point in time . . .just get another minidv camera and I'd be fine for the foreseeable future.
As a continuation of that discussion, I have encountered the strangest thing I've ever seen and I'm wondering if anybody can provide insight. I'll try to make a complicated story as concise as possible.
The reason I thought my Panasonic camera was in need of repairs was because large blue streak suddenly appeared across the screen when I played back or recorded video. This was not a problem with the tape, because I checked a few different tapes. In addition, these blue streaks showed up on previously recorded footage that looked perfectly fine when I dumped it to FCP a while ago.
So I bought a used Canon on eBay as a replacement. When I inserted a couple of tapes into the Canon, I saw gray streaks in the same manner I had seen blue streaks on the Panasonic. As far as I could tell, this meant one of two things: 1) there WAS a problem with the footage on the tapes, or, 2) both cameras were malfunctioning in a similar matter.
After an hour of going back and forth trying to isolate the problem, I decided to record some new footage on the Canon. When I did this, there were no gray streaks on playback of the new footage. Out of curiosity, I went back and looked at the previous footage that appeared to have gray streaks, and now the gray streaks were gone.
Wondering if some kind of miracle had happened, I took the tape out of the Canon and inserted it into the Panasonic. Still the same blue streaks on the Panasonic. Since recording a few seconds of new footage on the Canon seemed to be a miracle cure, I decided to try the same thing on the Panasonic. Voila! Blue streaks are gone. I tested other tapes . . .all blue streaks gone from the Panasonic and all gray streaks gone from the Canon.
If recording new footage on the Panasonic somehow magically realigned the heads or something, that should have fixed it last week when this problem first arose on my Panasonic. I tried all these same tests on the Panasonic and the blue streaks wouldn't go away on both newly recorded footage and previously recorded footage.
How is it possible that both of these cameras were working incorrectly in the same manner with several different tapes and then, simply by recording several seconds of new footage, they were miraculously healed? This is bizarre!!!
The only thing I did differently in all this troubleshooting was eat a banana. After that, things were fine. I say that half jokingly, but that is literally what I did. I took a break and at a banana, then 5 minutes later I tried exactly the same things and the cameras worked.
I guess I should be happy that both cameras are working now, but since I have no clue what the common denominator was that caused them to malfunction, and I have no clue how they both healed themselves, I'm worried about using them when I'm trying to record important footage.
Any serious thoughts about how this miracle has happened? (Yes, I know that user error is usually the next thing to consider, but I took very methodical steps to isolate the problem, so I really think the odds of that being the cause are very slim.)Sounds like dirty heads to me....
I had a similar problem a few years ago. Weird streaks started showing up in my footage, so I used my friend's camera to figure out if it was a problem with the tape or my camera. I ended up transferring dirt from my camera to my friend's with the tape I was using. The footage was ruined, but I ran a head cleaning tape through both cameras and never had the problem since, although I haven't used MiniDV in a few years now.
Sounds like you did the same thing as me....meaning you're right twice: 1) the tapes had dirt on them, and 2) both cameras were having the same problem because the tape was dirty
it seems weird that recording new footage fixed the problem, but its possible that it cleaned the dirt of the heads (temporarily). I'd say buy a couple head cleaning tapes and you'll be fine....and maybe try eating more bananas -
Funkiest thing I"ve ever seen in iMail!!!!
SO my wife is on her macbook using iMail and it suddenly closes on her. It gives her the standard " do you want to close/ reopen " option so she clicks "reopen". A minute or so later imail reopens, but she has all MY EMAILS from MY EMAIL account. She is afraid she lost all her emails ( though I'm sure I can get it back or atleast use safari to check her webmail).
Has anyone ever heard of this, or know how to prevent it from happening again? Better yet ..Why would this happen, letting her into my emails??
Thanks!Is your mail account a .Mac account? Could it be that your .Mac account was set up initially on what is currently your wife’s user account on this computer and the corresponding settings are still stored in System Preferences > .Mac?
Repeated crashes may cause Mail to discard the current ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist preferences file and create a new one:
Reopening an application after it unexpectedly quits
Mail may reset to default if it unexpectedly quits twice in row
This file is where all the account settings are stored. As a result, all the non-.Mac account settings are lost. If you have a .Mac account, that account would appear to have been preserved because Mail would set it up automatically using the System Preferences > .Mac settings.
When this happens, there are at least three ways to restore the account settings:
(1) Restore ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist from a backup if you have one. Mail shouldn’t be running while you do this.
(2) Set up your mail accounts again (you may want to quit Mail and trash the new com.apple.mail.plist first to start over). If given the option to import existing mailboxes or something like that, don’t. Just enter the account information and Mail will automagically rediscover the data in ~/Library/Mail/ when done. You’ll also have to re-configure some of the Mail > Preferences settings. For spam-related security reasons, the first thing you should do is go to Preferences > Viewing and disable Display remote images in HTML messages if it’s enabled.
(3) Mail may have renamed the old preferences file to com.apple.mail.plist.saved. If that’s the case, you may try trashing the new com.apple.mail.plist and renaming the old com.apple.mail.plist.saved back to com.apple.mail.plist. Again, be sure Mail isn’t running while doing this. Given the circumstances, there exists the possibility that com.apple.mail.plist.saved became corrupt, but that often is not the case and the settings can usually be restored by just renaming the file back to com.apple.mail.plist.
As a side effect of re-creating com.apple.mail.plist, Mail might rename Outbox (which is where messages waiting to be sent are stored) to Delivered. The name of that mailbox is actually a misnomer, as it would contain messages (if any) that couldn’t be delivered for some reason. You can delete that mailbox if you wish.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. That is, ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder, i.e. /Users/username/Library. -

Adobe Updater- The worst updater i have ever seen
ok, now i would lik esoem adobe devs feedback n why this installer takes an incredibly inordinate amount of time to do its thing. I have seen many a mac installer over the last 10 years, but adobe's are just getting worse and worse. the updaters work sometime, sometime they dont. On a dual 2x2ghz mac pro, it took upwards of a half hour to run updates to 5 programs. thats amazing by any feat of the imagination.
i am trying my best to update acrobat. it just wont do it. now its just peachy if adobe can tell me why, but i figure thats a long shot. through adobe's own updater(which itself needs to constantly update itself, wtf), it refuses to update acrobat. just ran it for the last round of updates amongst the cs3 apps, and nada. still at 8.0. so, i downloaded the singular installer. upon launch, it quits.
so...what do i do now?
thx
-edThere seems to be something special about the FIRST admin account ever set up on a Mac OS X machine. Try logging in as that account and running the update. Note that there are two or three updates related to "flash" that take 45 minutes to install on a G5 while giving you no progress updates.
If that doesn't work, try activating and logging in as root. This is dangerous, but usually effective for me. Google will show you how to do it on your OS.
Good luck. -
I get the following error message after installing the latest version of itunes via auto update: "the itunes Library file cannot be saved. An unknown error occurred (-54). Has anyone ever seen this message and anyone have a suggestion what to do?
Hi pholewinski!
I have a couple of articles for you here that I believe will help you with this issue. The first is an article on advanced troubleshooting, and it can be found here:
iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3297
If following that article's steps doesn't take care of the issue, you can try the things listed in this article, which is about permissions issues in iTunes:
iTunes: Missing folder or incorrect permissions may prevent authorization

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

Has anyone ever seen this error
We just launched a vaccation tracking app with a coldfusion
front end and an access 97 backend (dont ask). The app was tested
for over a month and passed all tests. However we never tested for
volume, or amount of users hitting the app. On the backend, we have
an access table linked to a text file. Again, this tested out
perfectly over the past month. This morning after release to the
entire company of about 2,000 people, users began reporting this
error:
The text file specification 'EmployeeList Link
Specification6' does not exist. You cannot import, export, or link
using the specification.
Some users logged in to the app successfully and some
recieved this error. For those that recieved the error, we had them
back out and re-login and then the app worked just fine.
Has anyone ever seen this or have a guess as to what is going
on?Hi,
The right way would be to use a "real" database server.
But you can test if db-caching can improve the issue.
With each <cfquery> you can set a cachedwithin
parameter. Using that should allow you to query the Access db once,
and then have CF keep the query results in memory (for the DB as
well as the text-file).
You could query the complete database with no filtering this
way, and then filter the data using QueryofQuery to output only
records for specific users/groups/regions.
You also need to make sure the settings in CF admin are
configured right for this.
The more often the database content is updated, the slower
this solution will get though.
cheers,
fober
ps. for the cachedwithin parameter in the query set a
timeframe of forever, so the recordset never gets updated, and then
actually execute a new query to update the recordset at the end of
your "save a vacation" or "updated a vacation" functions. This way
the app would only read the db when a real change to the records
occurred.
But like I said with 2000 users, even that may not be enough
to get the app performing. -
Hello,
Has anyone ever seen this before: http://digitalmarketing1.com/MacErrorPicture.jpg
Running an IMac Intel Core 2 Duo 2.33 GHz, Microsoft Entourage 2004 for Mac v 11.3.6.
Opened Entourage and selected some of the tons of spam > hit Delete and there you have it! Wasn't really sure how to answer this one! It was like a Bill Gates trick question for Mac users. I had to have someone else come in the office to make sure I wasn't having a stroke or something.
I did eventually select the highlighted button after a coin flip, but to no avail. Nothing happened. Selected the other button then thinking that MUST be the right answer! Nothing...
Finally, an end task was the right answer. Seems to have gone away for now, but Entourage still crashes quite often. Rebuilt email, repaired permissions, etc. Nothing appears to be wrong, but clearly something was amiss.
Any ideas?An unexpected exception has been detected in native
code outside the VM.
Unexpected Signal : EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION
occurred at PC=0x92150b9
Function name=(N/A)
I get this error when I call the same native function
twice.Yes, many people have seen it many times when doing JNI.
The usual reasons;
-In the vast majority of cases (think 99.9%) there is a bug in the C/C++ code that does JNI. As usual a pointer is the problem.
-Very, very rarely there might be a problem with something else. Like the jvm or a third party library. -

Can anyone help me out?

sorry if this is the wrong forumWell Tyler....I've seen something like your problem before, but i'm afraid i can't be of much help. I saw the problem because it happened to me before, and my iPod needed to be sent into Apple for repair, i believe they need to reconnect the hard drive on it....well hopefully someone here can help you out, because mine was a matter of being sent in.

Had same problem with 10.7. I've followed all the suggestions I can find, restored my computer many times, cleaned the registry... this is the worst software install I've ever seen!
I kept getting the reminder to update itunes 11.1.4 on my Windows 7 laptop. I now forget the error message other than it would stop and say something that itunes has stopped working and to do a manual d/l from itunes. That did not work either.
The suggestion to remove the Apple Software Updater from my programs solved this problem. -

Our CEO has an iPhone and an iPad. Everytime he is at the Baltimore Washington Airport (BWI) he is unable to send or recieve email over 4G or wifi. Everything else seems to work just fine over wifi or 4G LTE. Has anyone ever seen anything similar? is this malware?
Both devices are on Verizons 4G LTE network. Both devices do have some of the same APPS installed. Can this be a case of him connecting to a rogue wifi network of a hacker that may have installed malicious code on his devices when he connected? That would explain why only his devices have the same exact issue only at BWI airport.Something similar I've experienced. I was once having to use a AT&T hotspot and the iPad simply refused to access my mail via the mail app. But if I used safari I could get it. So the internet was working, but my supposition is that something with the hotspot's firewall messes with mail exchange.
next time your boss is at BWI, do you guys have a web interface? (for example if I wanted to access my work mail I could get them to set it up via the mail app and exchange, or I could go to a certain web address and access my mail that way via safari)
He could try using safari and the web interface if you have it.
If it's something in the hotspot's firewall I doubt it's anything that can be changed. -
File sharing XP-VISTA (WIRELESS) WEIRDEST THING I EVER SEEN!
Ok i said to myself lets give file sharing between my laptop and fixed pc a try with laptop running vista and fixed pc xp pro (always worked with xp-xp and just new WRTN150N).
Not suprized off course that it did not work vista has been fine tuning from day one for me?
So with my usual googling power and checklist I went to work
-same workgroup (CHECK!)
-NORTON (CHECK!)
-FIREWALL(CHECK!)
-WRT150N checking for possible security block(CHECK i think)
30 min getting frustrated
50 min the network map SHOW MY FIXED PC WOEEEEEHOOOOOO
57 min BUT BUT why cant just click my shared fixed pc in network map 1h10 min found google answer saying they had to buy a new router (MY **bleep** IT IS brand new WRTN150v1.1)
1h30 min crying on the inside has turned into cyring on the outside 1h50 plugged in vista in ethernet port EVERYTHING WORKED followed by lot and lot of swearing 2h05 double checked everything
2h20 SCREW IT
2h21 psshed said the intervoice inside my head ping!
2h22 ping works fine (ZOMG)
2h30 what if instead of using all the computer names you just type in the ip adress of the fixed pc said the innervoice
2h35-2h50 why does this work why why why why why why DNS?????
This is the network shown by vista when using ethernet I just click on icon of fixed pc below and bingo i have acess to share stuffers ethernet
The following link is the laptop on wireless and for some stupid reason if i want to access shares it has to be with ip adresses wireless
So conclusion
sharing ethernet (just click in networkplaces,XP,VISTA)
sharing wiresless (\\ipadress\sharelocation)
ALL THIS MAKE NO SENSE TO ME!
Message Edited by soulie on 02-05-2008 06:49 PMYour computer software firewall may be blocking the file and printer sharing. It was for me. Go into your software firewall 'Trust' settings and check to insure that the Linksys WRT150N physical address is 'Trusted' on all networked PC's.
I had previously just disabled the firewall. Apparently that's not totally effective.
Hope this helps. -
