Does anyone have a Soundblaster X-fi Fatal1ty FPS soundcard that has a model number SB0
I have had a replacement soundcard sent to me which Creative diagnostics says is an X-fi Fatalty ExtremeGamer Pro with a Model number SB0460 and serial number MASB046654900897C . The origional soundcard that I sent for a replacement was a soundblaster X-Fi Fatalty FPS soundcard with a model number SB0466 with a serial number MASB046654800429F.
Creative Labs returns department?advises me that the replacment soundcard is the same as the one I returned because the serial numbers both start MASB0466, however Wikipedia advises that the model number for the replacement is incorrect http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creativ..._Model_Numbers. Does this seem correct? Does the model number mean nothing and the serial number advise the type of soundcard I have? Why does Creative diagnostics now advise that the soundcard is?an?X-fi Fatalty EtremeGamer Pro which it did not before?List of soundcards including costs:-http://uk.europe.creative.com/shop/c...nguage=&cate=2?I have recieved 3 replacement soundcards that Creative Diagnostics?has advised?are?X-fi Fatalty ExtremeGamer Pro with a Model number SB0460 of which I have returned?2 as the returns department agreed were incorrect. Now Creative Labs Returns?says other poeple have?X-Fi Fatalty FPS soundcards?which have model numbers?SB0460 and dont want me to return this soundcard again. All I asked for is a replacement with a soundcard with a model numbed SB0466 as the SB0460 does not appear to work correctly with the FPS drivers and I/O header unit.[url="http://www.soundblaster.com/products/product.asp?category=&subcategory=208&product=5854 &nav=0">[/url]?Surely considering that the FPS version is the second most expenci've soundcard?on sale?to the public?that Creative Diagnostics would rcognise this as an FPS soundcard and not an Extreme gamer?Please let me know what you think?Many Thanks?JamesMessage Edited by gtmonster on 05-20-200702:2 PM
Hmm.. weird. I also have a X-Fi Fatalty FPS Pro and it's also the SB0460 but my serial number is slightly different.
It looks exactually like this.
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/55/Creative_SB_X-Fi_Fatalty-AB.jpg
Model: SB0460
Model on Gold Plate: SB0460-D
Serial: MASB046A64XXXXXXXH
So what is my card supposed to be then?

Does anyone have a suggestion for an alternative to iCal that will interface with the Cloud so it works on the iPhone and the Macbook? I find iCal to be poorly designed and not very efficient. I waste a lot of time entering information because you can't go to a specific day and enter information, nor can you navigate between months and add information on a specific date by clicking on the date. You can't easily scroll month-to-month and once you do by scrolling through nine months to get to where you want to be, you cannot enter information by clicking on a specific day in the month and entering information. I just called Apple and they verified that this is the way it works. You cannot go to a date and enter information, you keep getting thrown back to today and then you have to go into the calendar and change it manually on the screen. It is just not efficient.
APC, CyberPower are reliable.
Look for 1500VA. As example:

Does anyone have experience with Iogear GBU 421? My MacPro has no in-built Bluetooth.
Does anyone have experience with Iogear GBU 421? My MacPro has no in-built Bluetooth.
My 2010 Mac Pro does have built in bluetooth but I use the IOGear GBU421 instead. That's because the built in bluetooth on the mac pro suck$ if you are more than about 3 feet from the machine.
See the descussion: Poor Bluetooth reception and jerky mouse
It works but you need to get used to its "quirks". If you sleep your machine like I do the dongle is off because there is no USB power when sleeping for the dongle. So you need some wired USB device to wake the machine. In my case I use my wired keyboard.
When waking up it doesn't always become paired immediately (maybe 30% of the time). Then you need to flip the mouse switch to get it active. Interesting enough I don't have that problem with the trackpad.
Most of the time, in the rear occasions I reboot my machine, the mouse is ready to go.
Once you get used to the "quirks" it's no big deal. Hey, for about $9 what do you want?
By the way I also always keep a wired mouse attached as a backup. -
Does anyone have a Mac Mini (MID-2007) with wifi that works?
Does anyone have a Mac Mini (MID-2007 C2D) which wifi works?
It seems that Mac Mini has different models and some have a Broadcom Wifi card and some Atheros WIFI card. I'm trying to find user whom Mac Mini 2007 with atheros card works. Since os x 10.6 and 10.7 my wifi have not worked at all. I even changed internal antenna. Also attached external antenna on WIFI cards ext port. Still very poor connection. Also sometimes when my mac wakes from sleep country code of WIFI card is US not FI as rest of my family macs. WIFI is made with apple extreme router (802.11n). 2.4 and 5 Ghz networks. I do not have network interference. With Minimac Atheros card has support b and g network with 2.4 Ghz and a network with 5 ghz. Signal ratio is average -80 dbm, and speed varies from 6-36. Both a and g networks work same way on minimac. When I turn machin on wifi is usable about 1-2 minutes then latency will rice and after that timeout will occur on network. Still mac mini is connected to network.
Atheros firmware is: 5424: 2.1.14.9
Card: Airport Extreme (0x168c, 0,86)
Location: ETSI
Country: FI
Security: NONE
PHY: 802.11a
There are a lot of guides on net how to get it working; eg. change older OS kext, remove preferences, install os again (done all that, nothing works, but older kext files seem to work little better). But does any one have a Mac Mini with working wifi. What brand is your router and is the card in minimac original Atheros. Broadcom seems to operate Apple Extreme router quite well.My Mac Mini Mid 2007 has the same specs:
Card: AirPort Extreme (0x168c, 0x86
Firmware: Atheros 5424: 2.1.14.9
Ever since I upgraded to 10.7.2, my WiFi has been running painfully slowly. Same issue: it works okay for a minute or two, but then slows to a crawl, with network timeouts, etc. And it shows I'm still connected to the network. It gets particularly bad when waking from sleep, unless I quit my web browser first, then put the machine to sleep. (Waking the machine with browser still "launched" causes big problems.)
Has anyone figured out a workaround for this issue? -
I have suffered from this problem for years, but since upgrading to 128 iOS devices in September, the mysterious iTunes/iOS hidden data disease has gotten intolerable. Here's the deal:
I use my iPhone and iPad mostly for media consumption. I don't have a ton of apps. I have lots of videos, music through iTunes Match, and a few pictures. I'm one of those dinosaurs who doesn't use the cloud but downloads it, stores it, and syncs it via USB frequently (which I would bet is the root of my problem). Although I have a large capacity devices, I sync almost daily. And each time I sync, my displayed free space and the space iTunes allows me to use differs more and more. Old fixes used to involve such things as restoring the devices, turning off automatic syncing, turning off photo syncing, turning off other syncing apps, etc. And these things were temporary fixes.
Let me give you an example of what I mean by temporary. It has been exactly eight days since I last restored my iPad to brand spanking new, retaining nothing. In those eight days and approximately eight or nine manual USB syncs, each with an average of 60 GB transferred, I mysteriously have managed to lose 40 GB. This afternoon during my most recent sync, iTunes showed 86.3 GB free. However, as usual, it wouldn't sync anything close to that. By the time I had whittled my selections down to an acceptable amount, it still showed I had 47.2 GB free both in iTunes and in Settings on the iPad. Yet when tested it by trying to sync a 50 MB app, it said there was not enough available space. In days past, problems like this would take weeks or maybe even months to accumulate. And the culprit would usually be the "Other" category. When that happened, the remedies I described would help. This new beast is something else, though. Like I said, this took only eight days.
I finally decided to post something, though, after I reset my iPhone to factory settings this evening. When I was syncing the initial apps and videos, it would not let me sync more than 30 GB of material. I don't know what to do, guys. I bought the maximum capacity devices because I like my HD content. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? If you say I just need to sync less, (1), Apple needs to get its act together, and (2) It might sound crazy, but I can probably only push it to 2 days, so I'd only be postponing my problems a few days.
If anyone can help, I would appreciate it. Forgive me if this has been addressed elsewhere. I have spent time searching, but all I found was the answers I have already tried numerous times.Emily Sitton wrote:
I got my baby iPhone the day it came out. Seriously, I love it. I'm not really mad about the price drop, a little frusterated, but I knew what I was getting myself into when I purchased mine so early. But, now that I know there are ringtones in the future, I just can't wait.
So basically, does anyone know for sure when we will be able to get the ringtones? And what about iTunes on the iPhone, when will that pop up? I'm sure these questions have been posted already, but I just can't seem to find a sure answer.
I'm worried that it is just my iPhone/computer that can't find the update to get all the cool new feautres, any help?
thanks in advance!
Sit tight, once it's out you WILL KNOW. The Apple Discussions will be bombed!

I've been in an administrative job at my university, in which I needed to be able to access lots of past email conversations. I ended up saving *everything* religiously, by copying each email or conversation into an "On My Mac" folder on either my home or office machine, flagging it as copied, then unflagging it and moving it to a like folder on the other machine. As a result I'v now got a trillion folders for various aspects of my job, filled with quite a few messages that I probably no longer even need, but they're way too many to go through and delete one by one. Unfortunately, I haven't made much use of the iCloud folders, but I'm so tired of having to essentially manually sync my stored mail in the manner I just described, that I'm thinking of starting to file everything to iCloud folders. The downside of that is that obviously if the internet is down and a given folder wasn't refreshed before it went down, I won't have access to the saved mail.
Moreover, I'm about to step down from the admin post -- within about 6 months a lot of what I saved won't be needed at all, and going forward, I won't need to save nearly the same quantity of messages for later reference. I'd like to come up with some viable "triage" strategies for limiting the mail I do save.
This is really just an open question: Does anyone have any good mail filing and storage techniques that you'd be willing to share? I'm especially interested in criteria you use for what you save and don't save, and where/how you save it.Well, the one set up on exchange 2k3 is now working fine, although no changes were made on either the iPhone or the exchange side, so that's fun, but it still is throwing errors when connecting to the other 2 exchange accounts. The common elements are that both non-functioning exchange accounts are google apps for business accounts. So is one of the ones that's working, by the way. The settings on both accounts are the same as the one that's working, and both worked fine before the 8.3 upgrade. I have no issue accessing both of these accounts on my ipad which is currently on 8.2.x. If it's not the iphone OS at fault, I'm at a loss as to what it could be.

I recently purchased a refurbed iMac with a 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. It came with iMovie ver. 9.0.5 installed. I do allot with iMovie and iDVD and would like to get a camcorder to add movie clips. Does anyone have any suggestions for a reasonably price camcorder that would work with my setup?

Have you ever been able to sync your iPod shuffle to iTunes on your computer, or has something recently occurred? Are you working with a Mac or a PC? Without knowing what has been recommended to you, I'm going to start here with the basics troubleshooting for this issue.

Under Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and Boot Camp, my 27 inch Apple LED Cinema Display checks out as a Generic PnP Monitor and is shown as NOT HDCP compliant. I haven't been able to find any kind of an .inf file to use. Does anyone have a solution? Or is Apple's implementation of HDCP (if it's there) incomplete?
I am having this same issue. Im not sure if this is the cause but I think this is keeping PowerDVD Ultra 11 from playing back Bluray under Windows 7 / Bootcamp
