CS5: CUDA, CPU and other hardware questions

CS5 can gain much speed with CUDA technology by Nvidia; I assume everybody who researched a bit knows this.
However, I like very exact information to get the best decision for a new investment.
I need to get two identical new CS5 systems, that are much faster and not as buggy as my last CS4 system.
I have about 30.000 euro for 2 machines.
Our studio demands SDI connections, so I got a Matrox Axio.
Currently my system has lots of problems with Premiere and After Effects:
- Field swaps
- Inconsistent effect parameters
- Very slow rendering
- Very slow app startups
- Multi task slowdowns
- Crashes of apps
- Very slow interface operations
1. Does CS5 only use the CUDA of supported CUDA Cards?
2. Does SLI or multi graphic card tech, help CS5 speed at all?
3. Is it useful to get a Tesla next to a Quadro 5800 or is it not seen by CS5?
4. What Intel processor is best suited for After Effects rendering: iX or Xeon architecture?
5. Does Adobe really use only 3 Gb per core, meaning you should not buy more than 3Gb per CPU core? Or is it per THREAD and should I get more RAM?
6. Speed or number: Is it better to focus on very high total core speed, or to optimal RAM distribution by getting as many cores as possible?
7. Can a Matrox MXO2 Rack unit, cooperate with the Nvidia CUDA power or could both accelerations/technologies hinder eachother?
8. Is it best to get Nvidia SDI connectivity or is there a save alternative?
9. Can iX CPU's be dual or is that a Xeon option only?
10. What is the fastest 6 core Xeon that can be dual?
11. Does CS5 need a good scratch disk: is it wise to get a SSD just for scratch or is it overkill?
12. Some say the Nvidia 5800 is not the fastest card around; it has 240 cuda cores and some gtx cards have far more than that. What is the story?
I probably forgot about 324 other questions, but for now these will do.
If any of you can give objective and confirmed information, please do!

"I have about 30.000 euro for 2 machines." That's about $38,772.00 USD!! Oh what I could build with that money! I.M.O, I would seriously look for a way around using Matrox video products. We began using the Matrox RT.X100 back in 2003 with Premiere 6.5. On a good day, we could edit all day with only one crash. The RT.X100 introduced serious problems to our workflow like corrupted project files and timelines that would export finished "show master" videos that contained errors like areas that freeze frame for 10 seconds.
Here is a link in the Adobe Hardware Forum to the two systems I recently built for the company I work for. Both systems cost roughly the equivalent of 2,725 EUR. That's not each, but for both systems:
Our Two Rock-Solid Editing Systems
The X-58 motherboards will accept the new 6 core intel i7 980x processors, you could go with 4GB sticks of RAM for a total per system of 24 and pop in a couple of Nvidia 285 GTX's for MPE acceleration. You should go with Harm's recommendation for Raid setup. For input and output connections, I'm thinking that someone makes a non-invasive solution. Take a look at products like the DeckLink HD Extreme 3D. I really don't know if this product is compatible with CS5 and the Mercury Playback Engine. I would do a little research on that.

Adding a RAID card to help speed up export (and other drive question) in Premiere Pro CC

First of all, I have read Tweakers Page exporting section because that is where my primary concern is. First my questions, then background and my current and proposed configurations:
Question 1: Will adding a hardware RAID controller, such as an LSI MegaRAID remove enough burden from the CPU managing parity on my software RAID 5 that the CPU will jump for joy and export faster?
Question 2: If true to above, then compare thoughts on adding more smaller SSDs for either a one volume RAID 0 or smaller two volume RAID 0 to complement existing HDD RAID 5. That is, I'm thinking of buying four Samsung 850 Pro 128 GB SSDs to put in a four disk volume to handle everything (media/projects, media cache, previews, exports), or split it up into two volumes of two disks each and split the duties, or keep the four disk volume idea and put the previews & exports on my HDD RAID 5 array.
The 850's are rated at SEQ read/write: 550/470 MB/s thus I could get around 2000/1500 MB/s read write in a four disk RAID 0 or 1/2 that if I split into two volumes to minimize volumes from reading/writing at the same time, if that really matters with these SSDs?
The Tweaker's page made a few comments. One is splitting duties among different disks, rather than a large efficient RAID may actually slow things down. Since the SSDs are much faster than a single HDD, I'm thinking that is no longer accurate, thus I'm leaning toward the Four disk configuration putting OS & Programs on C drive, Media & Projects on D (HDD RAID 5), Pagefile & Media Cache on SSD (2-disk RAID 0) and Previews &Exports on 2nd SSD RAID 0 (or combine the two RAID 0's and their duties).
Just trying to get a perspective here, since I haven't purchased anything yet. Any experience/stories, I would appreciate.
My current drive configuration:
My D drive is software RAID 5 consisting of four 1 TB Western Digital RE4 (RED) 7200 RPM HDDs with a CrystalDiskMark SEQ Read/Write of 339/252 MB/s.
The C drive is SSD 500 GB (Samsung 840 (not Pro) and does 531/330 MB/s. My OS, Program Files and Page File are on C, and data/media files/project, etc all are on the RAID drive.
Problem:
Current setup allows for smooth editing, only the exporting seems slow, often taking between two and two and a half times the video length to export. Thus a 10 minute video takes 20-30 minutes to export. 15 minute video can take 30-40 minutes to export. The first 10% of the two-pass export takes under a minute (seems fast), but it gets slower where the final 10 or 20% can hang for many minutes like my system is running out of steam. So where is the waste?
I have enabled hardware acceleration (did the GPU hack since my GPU isn't listed) and it may spike at 25% usage a few times and eat up 600 MB of VRAM (I have 2 GB of VRAM), otherwise it is idle the whole export. The CPU may spike at 50% but it doesn't seem overly busy either.
Our timeline is simple with two video streams and two audio streams (a little music and mostly voice) with simple transitions (jump cuts or cross dissolves). We sometimes fast color correct, so that might use the GPU? Also, since we film in 1080 60P and export 1080 29.97 frames/sec, I think that is scaling and uses the GPU. I know without the GPU, it does take a lot longer. I have ruled out buying a faster GPU since it doesn't appear to be breaking a sweat. I just need to know if my system is bottlenecked at the hard drive level because I'm using software RAID and my disks are slow and will hardware RAID significantly reduce the CPU load so it can export faster.
Our files are not huge in nature. Most our clips are several MBs each. Total project files are between 5 GBs and 10 GBs for each video with Windows Media File export being 500 MB to 1.2 GB on average. We shoot using Panasonic camcorders so the original files are AVCHD, I believe (.MTS files?).
Considerations:
1. I'm thinking of buying (and future proofing) an LSI Logic MegaRAID 9361-8i that is 12Gb/s SAS and SATA (because some current SSDs can exceed the 6Gb/s standard).
2. I'm not replacing my current RAID 5 HDDs because not in my budget to upgrade to 6 or more large SSDs. These drives are more important to me for temporary storage because I remove the files once backed up. I don't mind a few inexpensive smaller SSDs if they can make a significant difference for editing and exporting.
I can only guess my HDD RAID is slow but the CPU is burdened with parity. I would imagine running RAID 10 would not help much.
My setup:
my setup:
CPU - i7-3930K CPU @4.5 GHz
RAM - G.SKILL Ripjaws Z Series 32GB (4 x 8GB) DDR3 2133 @2000
Motherboard - ASUS P9X79 WS LGA 2011
GPU - Gigabyte GeForce GTX 660 OC 2GB (performed the compatibility list hack to enable hardware acceleration).

........software RAID 5 off the motherboard ??????......NOT a good idea, from what I have read here on this forum from experts like Harm Millard and others. They have mentioned a LARGE overhead on the CPU doing this....causing sub-par performance. RAID 0 off the motherboard will NOT do this, however.....RAID 0 would provide optimum speed, but, with the risk of total data loss if ANY drive fails. You may wish to reconfigure your RAID to be RAID 0...BUT...you would need to DILIGENTLY back up its entire volume onto perhaps a quality 4TB drive very frequently.
A lot depends on the nature of your current and FUTURE codecs you plan to edit. You may not want to sink a lot of money into an older setup that may have trouble with more demanding future codecs. For now, in the 1080p realm, your rig should be OK....the read/write performance on your CURRENT RAID 5 setup is not great, and a definite drag on the performance. The rest of your components appear to be fine.....the Samsung SSD, though not ideal, is OK.....it's write speed is WAY lower than the Pro model,but, the drive is used mainly for reading operations. Since you have Windows 7 Pro, and NOT Windows 8.......you CAN put the entire windows page file onto the RAID 0 you might create.....this will take that frequent read/write load OFF the SSD. Read the "tweakers Page" to see how to best TUNE your machine. To use your current setup most efficiently, without investing much money, you would :a. create the RAID 0 off the motherboard, ( putting all media and project files on it ) b. install a quality 7200rpm 4TB HDD to serve as a BACKUP of the RAID array. Then, install a Crucial M550 256GB or larger SSD, ( close in performance to Samsung 850 Pro...much cheaper), to put all previews, cache , and media cache files on....AND to use as " global performance cache" for After Effects...if you use that program. Exporting can be done to ANOTHER Crucial M550 for best speed...or, just to the either the FIRST Crucial or, the 4TB drive. Your current GPU will accelerate exports on any video containing scaling and any GPU accelerated effects. Your CPU is STILL important in SERVING the data to and from the GPU AND for decoding and encoding non-GPU handled video....your high CPU clock speed helps performance there ! You may want to check out possibly overclocking your video card, using MSI Afterburner.or, similar free program. Increasing the "memory clock speed" can RAISE performance and cut export times on GPU effects loaded timelines,or, scaling operations. On my laptop, I export 25% faster doing this. With my NEW i7 4700 HQ laptop, I export in the range of your CURRENT machine....about 2 to 3 times the length of the original video. PROPERLY SET UP...your desktop machine should BLOW THIS AWAY !!
Visit the PPBM7 website and test your current setup to possibly identify current bottlenecks,or, performance issues. THEN, RE-TEST it again, after making improvements to your machine to see how it does. Be aware that new codecs are coming (H.265 and HEVC,etc.) which may demand more computer horsepower to edit, as they are even MORE compressed and engineered for "streaming" high quality at a lower bandwidth on the internet. The new Haswell E...with its quad-channel memory, 8 core option, large number of PCI gen. 3 lanes, goes farther in being prepared for 4K and more. Testing by Eric Bowen has shown the newer PPro versions provide MUCH better processing of 4K than older versions.

Leopard, gcc 3.3 and other bizarre questions...

Hi all.
I'm currently trying to install amarok music player onto Mac OS X 10.5.2,
I've already done so on an identical hardware configuration, under Mac OS X 10.4.x, and after a few compiling errors, and unmet dependencies, managed pretty well I thought.
This time my problem(s) is(are) different.
I've user what the amarok wiki ( http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/OnOSX ) describes as the "Amarok via Fink in complete" method, which is to say install fink, hit fink install amarok, and hope for the best... Having pushed through a few bits and pieces here and there, amarok is now compiled and installed.
But I get this strange error message when launching amarok, which then subsequently and very rapidly crashes :
[start code]
dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: dscaler_greedyh_getmethod
Referenced from: /sw/lib/xine/plugins/1.1.10/post/xineplugposttvtime.0.0.0.so
Expected in: dynamic lookup
dyld: Symbol not found: dscaler_greedyh_getmethod
Referenced from: /sw/lib/xine/plugins/1.1.10/post/xineplugposttvtime.0.0.0.so
Expected in: dynamic lookup
[end code]
(I don't think the entire amarok debug output is relevant, it's just version 1.4.8 and the rest seems pretty standard to me, do please ask if you want the full gdb output though)
After looking up the dyld errors I found this :
http://naranja.umh.es/~atg/blog/archives/2007/01/entry_0.html
(quite old I know, but sound and the closest I found to my error)
which lead me to believe I should have compiled amarok, and for that matter libxine1 (which I compiled myself with the --with-external-ffmpeg flag because fink wouldn't do so...), with gcc set to version 3.3 (should I?)
I then discovered that gcc_select didn't exist in Mac OS X 10.5, nicked it of a 10.4, removed and tweaked it until everything worked fine on the 10.5 with gcc 3.3 (I compiled a test.c with no problem), and tried again... with no luck. I couldn't get xine, nor amarok to compile.
So my questions are these (after that lengthly introduction, bear with me please :
-firstly (or miraculously...) does anyone recognize or understand those errors amarok is giving out?
-secondly can someone please explain the situation with Mac OS X 10.5 and gcc versions <=4.0 'cos I'm really out of the picture here ?!
Thanks a lot in advance for any help, and sorry for the long post, I figure it's always best for folks to have an overall picture of things...
Kind regards,
Mark.

I'm sorry, I can't really help with xine issues, you'll have to
contact the xine maintainer.
As for getting amarok 1.4.x, if you want 1.4.8, I've already got
amarok 1.4.8 in fink unstable, your best bet is to not try to build it
by hand, and instead get it there...
-firstly (or miraculously...) do you recognize or understand those errors
amarok is giving out?
I recognize them as an issue with xine, but I don't know where the
errors come from.
-secondly can you explain the situation with Mac OS X 10.5 and gcc versions
<=4.0 'cos I'm really out of the picture here ?!</div>
gcc 3.3 does not exist on any of the intel platforms, except for
compiling backwards-compatible powerpc code. The first apple gcc that
supports x86 Mac OS X is gcc 4.0. You can't gcc_select it, if there
is something that supposedly requires 3.3, it won't work on 10.4 or
10.5, on an intel box, except building a complete powerpc application
and running it under rosetta.

So thanks a lot Benjamin, that solves that, no way to run gcc 3.3 on Intel Mac OS X 10.5, and the errors I'm encountering are from xine.
I guess I'll be chasing up the xine maintainer now!
Thanks all for you help guys, and see ya' !

Posible p4n diamond heat problem and other beep question

Hi was using my p4n diamond for about 2h 30min and it all of a sudden just cuts out with no warning.
im unsure if its heat related thought the constant 55C is not as good temp as i should probably have but it stays stable there.
Also when i recently installed msi core it said i was very close to the voltages it had in the display just to hope to rule out power problems.
i have the cases 120mm exaust fan in the back an 80mm input fan in thefront and then the cpu fan that came with my pentium d 830 .
if its heat related should i get another 80mm fan as an exaust or an 80 mm input fan. i have one more spot on the door of the case.
----other beep question--
I was also wondering about the beeps on my computer. when i first was working with this pcc i had no beeps but then when working i had one beep before os then two after os and usb case plugs and floppy , 3 when i put on a printer and then back to one and then no beeps.
are these my beeps going down related to my heat or is this mother board short lived . one beeps soposed to mean that its loading properly
thanks

regarding your question about target temperature. my board isn't exactly the same as yours, but it's close.
you are right that you can lower the target temp and it will tend to cool the cpu because the fan runs faster at a lower temperature. the way i set up mine was to DISABLE the target temp and that gives the fan full voltage at all temps. that way, the fan rpm will bottom out at 2250rpm (instead of 1100rpm up to the target temp) or so even at lower temps.
also keep in mind that your cpu temp in the bios disply should be a few degrees HIGHER than the temp in "idle windows".
the intel data sheet for the pentium D 8xx series says that the max temp is 69C. so your cpu shouldnt have a problem at 55C.
i ran a prime95 primality test for about 17 hours at 60C to test stability (while using the computer for my normal foreground tasks) and didn't have a problem. i'm NOT recommending this. but i wanted you to know that this cpu doesn't have a problem with temps in the 60C range. and that msi motherboard will stand up to rough treatment.
also, in my humble opinion, i would NEVER run those msi windows utilities. they may be causing you a problem with stability. i use speedfan from almico to monitor temps and i have it set up to generate sound and visual warnings at certain temps. the F1 docs are good. if it were my system, i would go so far as to reinstall windows and format the C: to get rid of core center. i wouldn't even trust the uninstall unless you're good enough to surgically remove it manually.
also make sure you turn off EIST in the bios. it wont impact your temps significantly. that nvidia nforce sli intel edition has a problem with 14x multiplier and pentiumD. and EIST bumps you down to 14x occaisionally.

N8 poor signal reception and other hardware issues...

I have always been a Nokia fan . I started with Nokia 6600, then N70, then N82 and now a Nokia N8.
However, I am facing the worst experience with N8 reception issues.
The problems faced are as under :
1) Poor Signal Reception Issues - Signal strength is weak and is constantly fluctuating compared to other Nokia Phones. At my workplace, if Nokia N82 displays 5 bars, N8 would display only 1 or 2 bars.
2) Phone freezes many times. Whenever an Alarm is enabled, phone freezed much more.
3) Purple Tint in the display. Nokia Service Centre says that its normal but according to me, they are just ignoring this issue.
4) Vibration is weak : I often do not realize when the phone is vibrating in my pocket !!
Upcoming Symbian Anna will just improve the user interface but will not be able to solve these hardware issues.
If Nokia plans a hardware update facility for N8 users wherein they can fix the signal reception issues and increase the RAM to 1 GB atleast, I would retain this phone for few years.
But, now, I intend to switch to Samsung Galaxy S II.
Your views solicited.

I am agree with poor signal issue with nokia N8. I have two cell with one is N8 and other one is N26 with nearly 4.5 year old but at same place Nokia N8 showing very poor quality of network signal compared to N26. So for same network provider with two different cell with same manufacture how can drastic different that is also investing nearly RS.22000!
Please resolve the issue ASAP.

How does Smartware handle backing up two drives to My Cloud...and other Smartware questions

When you set up backup from two disk drives on one PC to My Cloud via Smartware, do they both backup simultaneously, or do I need to do one, then the other? I have a Windows 8.1 laptop with two hard drives, one is 500GB, the other 1 TB. After installing My Cloud (3TB) and Smartware, I went into Smartware and set up my backups. I selected various folders on each drive to back up, and I also set up two different folders on My Cloud to receive these files. Setup is like this: PC Drive -> My Cloud FolderSeveral folders in G: drive -> Pictures, Video folder on My CloudDesktop and User folder onmain drive -> Users folder on My Cloud Every time I open my PC at home, I start Smartware, click the Backup tab and let the backup continue. I feel like I need to manually go into the Home and Backup tab for each backup plan (one per drive) and restart it. Regardless, my question is this: is Smartware able to handle these two drives on my laptop backing up onto My CLoud? Other Smartware questions:- Does my PC have to be on my home network (where My Cloud is installed) in order to run Smartware? Can I be on the internet outside of my home and run Smartware?- I run Outlook 2010. Will Smartware back up the latest Outlook file automatically as new files are created (basically, every time I run Outlook)? Much appreciated. - Paul M.

Hello,
When you set up backup from two disk drives on one PC to My Cloud via Smartware, do they both backup simultaneously, or do I need to do one, then the other?
You will need to do one first and then the other and the last one that is selected will be done automatically.
- Does my PC have to be on my home network (where My Cloud is installed) in order to run Smartware?
Yes.
Can I be on the internet outside of my home and run Smartware?
WD Smartware does not perform remote backups.

P67A-C45 (B3) CPU and Memmory Compatibility Question

(sorry to my english)
Hi all i hawe 2 queestions i have CPU G630 and memorry (RAM) work to 1333MHZ if i activated in bios XMP to work on 1600 i have some problems stop working on windows, My friends tell g630 dont suport 1600ram
i dont have more money but i wont to give my cpu to friend and buy G860 becose my friend have it and i see he work with 1600MHZ but he have Z77 MB not as mine (,
1 will work my RAM on 1600MHz if i put G860 CPU to my MB?
2 i see to Global site have update bios 22nm to this mb is really posible this ? if i wont a 22nm cpu need to upgrade or bios in not for my MB ? becose on start this mb is for 32 nm?
MSI P67A-C45(B3)
Intel G630 2x2,7
Kingston Blue 2x4gb ram 1600MHZ
.....

if my P67A-C45(B3) work with Intel Core i3 2130 tray or CPU Intel Pentium G860 on Ram X.M.P. 1600MHZ i will buy some this but not wont to risk
if upgrade i sell mb+cpu and buy next
if Z77A-G43 or G45 i buy Intel® Core™ i3 3240 i dont like SLI or owerclocking and mabby is G43 low cost
if Z87-G43 i buy Intel Core i5-4570 Haswell but is to hight costs mb and cpu and have some problems with money.
i ask you all becose to my country Moldova we dont have more money on job to buy extrime somfing and i wont last tehnologis to me ))) i like Z87-G43 is good but not have some low cost cpu (
I'm afraid that MSI will go strictly by 1150 socket, and will only continue to develop them, and forget about 1155

CPU Clocks and other MPB questions...

Is there a noticable difference in 2.0 to 2.16?
And is the 17" really that much heavier/bigger?
Can someone recommend a nice shoulder bag?
(I will only be taking it through the house, to cafes, and friends houses)
Thanks!

This is all a judgement call by the individual.
I do not think the 8% clock difference is something you will even notice unless you do very cpu intensive tasks most of the time.
1 lb heavier. It is hardly noticable to me.
Slightly larger. In my work environment the extra inch and a half is not even and issue. I would never notice it. Though it does afford substantially more screen real estate.
Hope this helps.

Scratch disk and other setup questions

Hello, I am a long time Premiere user but have never been involved with the setup. I have decided to start doing personal video editing on my gaming computer and have run into some questions.
The biggest one I have is with the scratch disk setup. I've read the help doc about 10 times and googled every combination of terms I can think of but am still unsure how I should set these for my setup.
I have Premiere Pro CS5 installed on my C:, which is a 128 GB SSD
For storage I have 4 1TB drives in Raid 5, so 2.72 TB total storage.
How do I want to set up my scratch disks for best possible performance?
Question 2: This might be related to scratch disk setup, I'm not sure, but something I have always wondered. Which disk should I save my projects to in this configuration? Does it matter? Then, do I want to render my final video to that same folder or to another disk?
Question 3: I currently have a GTX 460 graphics card and am enjoying the benefits of CUDA acceleration. I have been looking at adding a second in SLI for gaming purposes, but have read that the Mercury Playback Engine is not compatible with SLI. Does this mean that it will still just work with one card and I will see no benefit in premiere, or that all CUDA acceration will cease?
Thanks guys, I really appreciate the help.

Alright, so I have the hdd's in the case and am setting up where to place everything, but each of my drives is different, so I am hoping someone can suggest best practice on which drives should hold what. I can rearrange any drive to suit any purpose you guys would suggest, but here is what I currently have set up:
C: - 128 GB SATA III SSD
D: - 150 GB 10k VelociRaptor
E: - 250 GB Caviar Black
F: - 4x 1 TB Spinpoint F4 7200 RPM in RAID 5
Here is how I am currently planning on using these drives:
C: - OS, Programs
D: - Media, Projects
E: - Previews, Exports
F: - Pagefile, Media Cache
When I am finished with a project I move the exported file onto my media server, so that is why I set the export onto the smaller drive and media cache onto the RAID.
Does this look good or would you guys suggest a different orientation for better performance?
And one other question, this time regarding RAM. I currently have 6 GB of DDR3, 3 x 2 GB. I have been reading all about how moving up to 24 GB would be very beneficial, and since it really isn't all that expensive, I am planning on doing so. My question is that, I have watched the task manager while rendering and exporting my videos and I've only ever seen RAM usage hit 1.8 GB. I wondered why it didn't get close to using all 6, but didn't worry about it too much. But now that I am hearing 24 would be helpful, I am wondering if I have something set up wrong that is stopping Premiere from using all my RAM?
Thank you guys so much for the help.

How do I get Apple to stand behind their warranty and replace my defective computer? The hard drive has been replaced twice, the track pad once, and other hardware issues. Can anyone help me so I can get Apple to replace my defective

My computer has been a lemon. They refuse to properly diagnose, fix, and document my complaints regarding the multiple failures I have had with this computer. Also, I was told that upon my logic board being replaced back in April or May that the topic of replacing the computer altogether with one of equal equipment would be appropriate. Insofar, I have been to the store at least three times in the past month to discuss my issues with the computer that were not resolved when the hard drive was replaced in May. I was also told that the repairs on my system would be good for up to 90 days after the repair work was done and that I could buy AppleCare at the end of the 90 days in lieu of insuring a product that still had defects. I have been on the phone for what feels like hours with Apple trying to work this issue out but they are not wanting to stand behind their product nor are they willing to stand behind their warranty. The warranty expressly states that a computer can be replaced entirely if the defect is considered hardware malfunction and at the representative’s discretion. Every time I brought it in for repair it was due to hardware malfunction; however, they also said once that it was an accessory that I bought that was causing the problem which ended up not being the case after all. This is totally unacceptable. I also asked Mark from AppleCare to let me know what was repaired the second time the computer was put through a diagnostic at the Apple Store. Beachballs, Gears, excessive heat, not being taken seriously at the Apple Store, being insulted by a Mac Genius at the Apple Store, being misinformed by a Mac Genius, dealing with a misinformed Mac Genius. They replaced my iPod touch without much ado. I was also accused by an Apple Genius of being "hyperbolic." He said this in response to my complaint of the computer melting--literally--items on my computer desk. I am either wanting a refund of my money or a replacement of my laptop. Also, I have lost an incredible amount of data on my computer due to the hard drive being replaced x 2. Not acceptable. Also, the Apple store is 1 hour from where I live. I am currently looking for employment and additionally have a legal case pending where I am the plaintiff. I have lost VERY important documents in both matters which has caused an extreme amount of stress. I do not need the added stress of an unreliable and unsafe computer. I also have been waiting for a call back from Kelly (left two voice messages with Kelly) and Mark (wrote an e-mail for which he has not responded to insofar) at Apple but have heard nothing from either one of them regarding the status of my computer. The only thing I received which was automated by the Apple Store was a confirmation that my computer was ready. I have requested documentation of what was done (basically, I am asking for the receipt) before I drive an hour to pick it up. Haven't heard anything. I brought this computer in on July 24, 2011. We are now upon August 2nd. When do I get to know what was even done on my computer? Do they really think that I am going to take back a computer into my possession only to have to bring it back shortly thereafter to address one of the many issues causing it to malfunction in the first place? I have owned 5 computers since 1988. All of them PCs. This is my first Mac. Will it be my last?

The only people who can possibly assist you with this is Apple Customer Relations, call your local Apple contact number and ask for Customer Relations then explain your situation clearly and politely (be firm but don't rant).
You might want to investiage what the local laws are regarding defective goods and 'fit for use' definitions on warranties etc. Consumer Protection can be a useful tool to use or bargain with if needed ...

How does the Java card simulator work? and other misc questions

First, I have a class inherited from Applet. Okay, I did that.
How do I convert this class to a CAP file? I mean I have a class file which is compiled by javac, do I use this file to convert into a CAP file? What is an AID? Do I make up this AID?
In this .scr file (APDU Script), I understand the first 4 bytes, it means to create an Applet, but what about the rest? I know there are some intermixes of lengths and AIDs, I just can't decipher this.
// create wallet applet
0x80 0xB8 0x00 0x00 0x14 0x0a 0xa0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x62 0x3 0x1 0xc 0x6 0x1 0x08 0 0 0x05 0x01 0x02 0x03 0x04 0x05 0x7F;
And here comes the main question?
How does the simulator work? How do I generate the data that mimics what the card reader reads?
Thanks
Jack

At first blush,
I have these when executing the RMIPurse sample according to the user guide

How do I add a Handwritten Signature to my form? And other Form Questions

Hi there,
I'm making a form for parents who's kids are going to drive a motorcycle for the first time.
Now I want to use my laptop with touchscreen for people to fill it in.
the normal boxes (name, adres etc) with keyboard.
But the important part is the SIGNATURE which has to be handwritten.
It's for insurance and legal autorisation from the parents that the kid is allowed to drive and they know the risks and rules.
How do I add a box in which parents can sign.
Or is there another solution to make it legal?
Another question now I might have someones attention:
After a parent is done filling the form and presses OK or DONE
Is there a way a parent can choose to use a new blank form or the same form again without date of birth/name/sex
so he/she can fill the forms faster for the rest of the kids?
OR
Is it possible to let a parents say I have 4 kids (with a choice menu)
and the parent wil get 4 name/age/sex openings and the rest of the form will stay the same?
And
Is it possible to export the whole bunch into a excel for easy usage
Thanks in advance
and all tips are welcome!
Love
Kim

Just to share some info for this:
I used to do this sort of thing quite a bit. What I used was a scanner to scan my hand written signature to an image file. I would then paste the image file, which supported transparency, over the signature line. More recently, I used Photoshop to draw a signature saving in a transparent image file.
Just to warn you though: you are asking for legal advice, and you are not going to get that here. I would consult with an attorney to find out exactly what is legal.

New PB 15" Fans, SMS, Temps, Gfx and other related questions!!

Hi All,
Apologies if this is a long one - I have a few points to raise.
As a new 15" PB user I have spent the last week or so scouring these boards for information on my new baby. Much of it has been interesting, and I'd like to address a few of the issues raised.
Fan Noise
Some folks have mentioned a constant but quiet noise from a fan on the unit. i too am aware of this, but it is not the cooling fan, but the HARD DRIVE. I recently upgraded my whisper quiet iBook with a Seagate Momentus 5400rpm 80 GB drive, and the sound on my new PB is exactly the same as that which began after this HD upgrade -these hard drives are slightly noisier than slower models, but i'm happy to live with it as it is non-intrusive.
As to the fan/s themselves on the powerbook - when do they actually turn on? I'm used to the iBook fan kicking in after 20 minutes or so of World of Warcraft, but I have still yet to hear my Powerbook fan outside of running the Apple Hardware Test. How hard do you need to push the machine before they come on?
Temperatures
I can see that there is an issue with most temperature readers in that they don't update on the PB properly. I'm using the latest version of Temperature monitor which seems to update, however the readings seem weird to me:
Graphics Processor 100C, Power Supply Bottom 48C, Processor Bottomside 40.8, Processor /Controller Bottomside 41.5C, Hard Drive 36C, Trackpad 32.5C.
Are these in line with evryone else's? I am concerned specifically about the graphics processor reading, which is odd, as I am simply sitting here typing this with no other apps open. initially thought the program may have picked up on the battery charge rate, as it varied from 97-100, but sometimes it will change erratically for no apparent reason.
Ticking in 3D apps
This may or may not be a new one. When I'm playing 3D intensive games with the sound muted I notice a ticking noise coming from the centre of the unit under the keyboard - it's not hard drive related. The ticking changes in speed depending on the scene shown on the screen, and seems to be consistent with the frame rate, i.e the ticking slows down as the framerate does. Anyone else notice this really weird behaviour?
Apple Hardware Test
When I received the unit a few days ago i ran the Apple Hardware test and was surprised that when we got to the video memory part the screen suddenly went allpatchwork coloured for about 15 seconds. The screen then returned to normal and the test was 'passed'. Is this normal?
Sudden Motion Sensor
The AMS tracker tool at kernalthread.com didn't work on my SMS equipped iBook - I really wanted to try out the little toys the author made where you rotate your machine and the display rotates to suit - a bit like a £1400 version of Warioware Twisted...
Anyway, it doesn't work on my new PB, even though it was specifically designed to do so. I have noticed some issues on here about SMS, so does anyone else with a new Hi res powerbook have the same problem?
Well that's about the total of my observations for the moment - any comments/suggestions would be most gratefully received!

Hi David --
I have comments that might help with regard to a few points in your post.
Re fan noise: I have a Seagate Momentus 100 GB 5400 rpm factory installed and it's whisper quiet. I can't hear it over the noise of my typing even in a quiet room.
Re temps. I, too, have Temperature Monitor v. 3.1 installed. It was the first temp monitor (credit to Ned Snowing for turning me on to it) that appears to update its temperature readings on my PB. I have six temp readings, like you, but none of them are marked graphics processor. Where you have graphics processor, I have "Battery Temperautre." Maybe it's because you have the October 2005 revision PB and I have the February 2005 revision, i don't know.
My temps, starting with "battery" and then following the same ones as you outlined in your post, are: 31, 41.4, 40, 43, 35, 33 all º C. That 100º C reading you have has to be wrong, because it would surely well exceed the outer limits for the machine -- I don't see any category with a specified outer limit temp higher than 82º C.
Can't help on 3D gaming, not really what I use the PB for.
As for the AHT, I haven't run it in a while, but if I remember correctly, the patchwork graphics for 15 minutes thing that you describe is just the AHT doing its thing and testing your PB's graphics capabilities as part of its diagnostic process.
Finally, as far as the Sudden Motion Sensor issue goes, you might find the following (I warn you, very long) thread regarding the effect that upgrading to 10.4.3 (which I see you are running) had on people's SMS. Here's the thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=228309&tstart=50 the long and short of things appears to be that on many people's PB's (mine included), upgrading to 10.4.3 appears to have messed with System Profiler's ability to report accurately the status of the SMS. It also effects the AMS and the ability of the programs you described to tap into the SMS. You need to read the entire thread carefully to get all the subtleties of what's going on, and no one seems certain as to whether the problem is just a reporting one or whether the issue goes deeper and actually implicates the functionality of the SMS itself. I'm done with it, frankly, until Apple comes out with either a statement (unlikely) or a new update (likely) that hopefully fixes the situation. It's bee reported to death through proper channels.

Premiere to After Effects CS5 - lost transitions and other stuff....

Hi guys,
We are learning this stuff by using the 'hammer to the head' method...
Premiere CS5 to After Effects CS5 'replace with after effects composition' method loses the trasitions that were placed in Premiere. They don't show in the After Effects composition. Fine.
So, doing the all the effects and Magic Bullet effects in the footage and then doing a multi-machine render to a PNG sequence is fine. Then, instead of using Media Encoder to assemble the PNG footage back to an AVI to re-import to Premiere, it's FAR faster to have after effects re-assemble the PNG to an AVI. Here's where the 'weirdness' comes in. We import the newly assembled AVI-PNG sequence to Premiere and CAN"T ADD transitions to the AVI file. We will put in the cuts where we want it and it doesn't work! HUH? Here's where things go really sideways...If we assemble the same PNG sequence using the ultra-slow Media encoder, we can then do transitions in Premiere. WHAT! I don't get it. What is After effects doing differently than Media encoder to put it all back together?
Sorry for the 'frustration', but man, what is goin on?
Thanks again for everyone's time.
Jason

See my reply in your other thread. Re-reading this post I do get the impression, though, that you are messing up the frame rates somehow and thus run into problems...

What is the motherboard and other hardware for the Pavillion dv2700?

I just got it from a friend who didn't know how to fix it, and I really just need to know the parts I need. Has the battery problem been resolved which was the root to this overheating?

Hello
You are right. WLAN card in your notebook is Intel (Golan) Intel 3945ABG and the driver can be downloaded from http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/?page=downloads
As I can see there is version 12.2.0.11.3 available for download.
Download driver for Vista and with exe files extract it to some folder. Later look check this folder and go into folder Vista32Drv.
Drivers are there and install them manually with WLAN properties > install new driver.
Does this method works?
What so say about BT? The latest version is the newest and you can install it on your Satellite notebook.
What you want to do with BIOS settings exactly? some certain hardware components can be also disabled in device manager.
