Disappointing first (and only) experience with Crucial...

I ordered some RAM and a SSD drive upgrade for my PC but then decided to go with a new computer instead. I sent two emails very soon after my order to cancel shipment. Neither was answered and so Crucial shipped to me using UPS (a $30 charge at the door). I called customer service to try and sort the issue out and was told I could just refuse the package (which I did). At no point was it explained to me that I would still be billed for the shipping costs (I live in Canada so perhaps that's the 'reason') or that there would be a $30 're-stocking' fee. I realise that this is all in the small print but, still, you would think that charges this high (around $65 USD) would have been part of the conversation during the phone call... My advice, if you live in Canada, try to buy local or on Amazon and avoid the shipping costs.

Memory checks out fine and passes on both testing of apple service diagnostic and apple hardware test.
You van only trust those tsts if it finds an error, not if it doesn't... OSX seems a far better RAM tester, unfortunately it doesn't report it!

Considering Lenovo For First Time, Others Experience with K410 and K330B

Hi everyone I am shopping for a new desktop. My 7 year old Dell Dimension 4700 died and am now shopping. I am looking to spend around $300 which I know is a pretty basic machine but for my needs(web surfing,quicken, word processing,low graphic games,burning dvds,listening to cds) that should be fine.
I like the flexibility that my Dell had with both DVD burner and CD rom drives and have wanted to have a second hard drive on whatever I end up with so I can separate the OS from the data.
From my researching it seems that my best options are either a refurb Ideacenre K410 or K330B which I've seen on the Lenovo outlet website listed for $281 and $287 respectively ) I don't hink Dell is what it used to be and the Hp's at this price seem to be very basic in terms of the MB used.
Otherwise I'm considering building my own as I have a brand new 400w ps, a barely used ATA drive(which I know would need an adapter),a still functioning SATA HD,a functional DVD burner and CDROM.Would need to buy mb,cpu,case, fan and basic sound card. But with a copy of windows 7 it is easily at least at $300 so it makes wonder if one of the above Lenovos is a better option.
I have read different things about Lenovo support and reliability so I'm not sure what to think.
So my questions are what are others experiences with these 2 desktops and also how reliable has your Lenovo been.Also others experience with refurbs would be helpful.
Sorry this is so long but I could really use help.
Thanks

Yes, I also uninstalled Diskeeper.
Like Centex, I'm curious why you did that? It doesn't sound like you chose to install an alternate like PerfectDisk instead.
Re the data partition you mention, Lenovo tried that with the ideaPad with somewhat mixed results on their first effort. Perhaps an improved version will be available in the future.

C300 Red Frames and other experiences with 2014

Hello,
Just incase it's helpful, I'm sharing my experiences with Premiere 2014, C300 footage and a few other things. First about me. I have a small studio with two new mac mini's and one macbook bro running CC. We recently bought a C300 and upgraded to 2014.
We've only had one project started and finished with C300. Red frames and crashing were a constant problem. We muscled through it. Restart, Disk Permissions repair, PRAM, bow to the east.
Our next c300 project we just started. I only have two interviews so far. In 2014, one interview has red frames in it for about 10 of the 35 minutes. After reading a bunch here I started a new 2014 project, imported that interview via the media browser and still got red frames.
Just for giggles, I opened up the previous version of premiere, CC, on the same machine, started a new project and imported the clip via the media browser. There are NO red frames in the interview. The only difference is the version of Premiere. Same drive, same media, same mac.
Most old projects the I've upgraded to 2014 crash constantly. These consist of ProRes footage from an Atomos Ninja. I've deleted my media cache on all my machines. This problem has been pretty consistent.
For now, I'm going to work in CC. On another thread, I hear there's a 2014 update on the way. We'll see.
Good luck!

" ... bow to the east ... "
lol ...
We used to use that phrase a lot when I was younger and a problem that was intermittent popped up in something that we at times seemed to "solve", until ... it wasn't. At times, it does seem rather appropriate mostly jesting comment doesn't it?

I just bought my first and only apple product yesterday, an iPad mini with retina. How can I print to a non AirPrint enabled printer?

I have heard that unless I have a Mac or newer AirPrint printer, I will not be able to print from my iPad. This is my first apple product, so I really hope that is not the case, or it may have to go back. I do not want to have to go out and buy a new printer when mine works fine and is only a couple of years old. Please let me know if there is a solution to my problem.

Check the app store for a third party printer application. Depending on who made your printer, the manufacturer may have an app. Otherwise, look for a third party app.
Whatever you find won't have the flexibility you would obtain if you had an AirPrint printer. For example, Epson has an app, but it cannot print from all functions (e.g., mail).

Different Header for First and Subsequent Pages with Summary on last page

The data in report can vary from 1 to more than 50 rows (order lines). The header on first page is detailed and the header on subsequent pages has only some fields (whenever data is large). There is a summary section which has to be on the last page of the report only and that too at the bottom (just above the fixed footer in the report).
So, for a single page report the the detailed header, all lines, summary at the bottom and then the footer has to be printed.
For a two page report - first page will have detailed header, some lines, fixed footer and second page will have short header, remaining lines, summary at the bottom and then the footer.
For a three page report the summary has to be on third page only and so on.

In a word processing document, select your object, place it where you want & then go to Format > Advanced > Move Object to Section Master. To place a different repeating object, you will need to insert a section break.
With page layout documents, each page is a separate section, so there is no section master. Objects placed on one page don't repeat.

Audio Only Experience with CiscoJabberVideo

Anyone else just getting audio only? Was working up to 3 weeks ago and started this behavior. No changes on this side.

Hi,
What device are you calling? Is this happening to all devices?
Have you tried to use JabberFree ([email protected]) from a real public IP (without any firewalls between JabberFree and internet)?
E.g.
Should work: JabberFree > Internet > FW > MCU
In most cases, doesn’t work (depends on the firewall!): JabberFree > FW (on Corp network etc.) > Internet > FW > MCU. This is the normal cause of no media (or Audio only) with Jabber.
So try without any firewalls between, or provide me more information, and I'll look into it.
Hope this helps,
Arne

BT Infinity issues and only been with them since 4...

I have been so looking forward to faster broadband, religously checking the availability of infinity for my area for months and eventually hey-ho here it is. After having a HH3 on BT BB for years and not a single issue I thought awesome same reliability and faster too. How could I be so wrong!!!!!!!!!!!! I have had BT Infinity for 13 days.
Day.1: The line started out at 79Mb (300 metres from street cabinet) really good performance.
Day.2 Line still fast but orange light on HH5 periodically. (still it is training isn't it?)
Day.3 The line keep dropping out more and more. Fast when it works though!
Day.4 Keep getting resolving host issues and line droppping out??? (still it is training isn't it?)
Day.5 My daughter is asking to put the old one back on as she is going into facebook withdrawal
Day.6 I am thinking of putting the old one back in. Line droppping in and out. Checked the speed still good 76Mb.
Day.7 I am beginning to get disillusioned by this infinty business. The desktop help keeps telling me to call support as it cannot fix my problem. (still it is training isn't it?)
Day.8 Beginning to think this was a BIG MISTAKE! Still fast when it works 75Mb
Day.9 Very frustrated called BT customer support. They performed some tests and tell me the HH5 is knacked.
Day.10 & 11 More of the same. (still it is training isn't it?)
Day.12 Replacement HH5 turned up re-connect. Speed is 63Mb and after 2 hours exactly the same as the previous.
Orange lights, rsolving host issues and dropped connections. Called customer support. They performed the same tests and told me no fault and 63Mb is what I should be getting?.After getting 75Mb with a broken HH5, I was expecting at least the same. They also told me they could not reset the BB profile to re-train the line even though the HH5 was faulty?
Day.13 I am awaiting a call from customer support manager who will tell me that nothing is wrong. WTF is going on BT?

A quick update. Got a call back from customer services and they have now found a fault on the network. Funny that!! Watch this space.

Afterupdating to firefox4 cannot access webpages and when I try the system hangs and only clears with reboot but access is ok with internet explorer

have tried uninstalling and then re installing but no joy. when I open firefox I can search as normal but as soon as I click on a site to open a page the screen freezes and I cannot access any other programs either

Leigh...
but cannot do this because I cannot access Mac App Store
If you can't access the App Store from the Apple menu, Dock, or Applications folder installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo will reinstall the App Store for you.
It's ok to do this even you are already running v10.6.8.
Plants vs. Zombies, and that is all for additional software on here
FYI: Some third party software can cause issues with the App Store > Mac App Store: Sign in sheet does not appear, or does not accept typed text

HT4528 My phone will not allow me to update apps or purchase anything with my itunes card. It tells me that I need a valid card. I do not use a credit/debit card and only purchase with itunes cards.... what can I do for my phone to download?

I cannot download, purchase, or update any apps because it says my credit card is invalid; however, I only use iTunes cards.... how can I correct this problem?

To be exact the error says the iphone could not be restored, an unknown error occured (-1). What is that?

I was trying to hide just my clock for the history and the menu bar(file,edit all that), I dont know what i clicked but it got rid of everything except for the bookmark tabs.

If that still doesn't work then see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Corrupt_localstore.rdf
(caution: do not delete the localstore.rdf file in the Firefox program installation folder)
Note:
Deleting the file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/localstore.rdf localstore.rdf] will reset the customizations of the toolbars to the defaults.
You can rename ''localstore.rdf'' to '''localstore.rdf.sav''' to test if that solves it.
Then you can restore the customization by copying ''localstore.rdf.sav'' to ''localstore.rdf'' if it didn't work.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

How to verify billing information when you are under aged and did not put a credit card in cause you only buy with gift cards?! HELP

Hi Everyone.
My sister and I have been having problems with our ipods. We both have the touch and because our dad bought both our ipods and our ipods were under the same name it was starting to sync eachothers music to each ipod instead of seperate. we also wanted to use 2 different credit cards. so we thought the best solution would be to just create her, her own account. Everything went smoothly and i realized there was an option to not add a credit card, being that shes under aged and only buys with gift cards anyway. Now im struggling because i entered her gift cards into her acount and every time she goes to buy a song it says confirm or varify billing information. I have tried re entering her account info, i tried adding a credit card, ive tried several things and it is not allowing me to varify the account and will tell me that my requist is unavailable at this time....
does anyone know how to fix this problem soo she can buy songs
THANKS

You have to follow the instructions here and use an email address that you have not yet used with Apple before.
