Dual channel receiver works with NI-PC2/driver v2.6 but not NI-GPIB/TNT(PNP)/driver v2.7.2

I posted a message earlier but didn't word it correctly. We have a Microdyne 2800 receiver that we would like to set up remotely via 488. The receiver works fine in DOS using an older NI-PC2 card with the v2.6 drivers that came with it. However, when we switch to the newer PC-GPIB/TNT(PNP) 488 card with the latest DOS drivers, v2.7.2, it doesn't respond. The receiver recognizes that it received something via the bus but does nothing (it has a little red light that turns on when in remote mode). What prompted us to test it in DOS was that the same thing was happening under WinNT 4.0 using the PNP card and the v1.60 drivers.
In ibic, I'm using the exact same
sequence of commands to setup the card (ibdev, ibclr, and then ibln) and then I use the ibwrt to write the setup string to it. Are there any differences in the cards and/or drivers that I should be aware of?
Thanks for any help!

Dear Sr.,
This kind of troubleshooting can be extensive so I recommend you to call us in Technical Support to address your issue, you can find the information at:
http://sine.ni.com/apps/we/niae_asc.main
Some of the common questions I'd ask you about this will be:
1. Has this board work before?
2. Have you tried it in another computer?
3. When installing the board, did you ran the configuration utility and did the query and scan for instruments? (Start > Programs > National Instruments > NI-488.2 > Explore GPIB.... click F5 to Refresh then Select your board from "Devices and Interfaces" and click "Scan for Instruments" then when it finds your instrument click "Communicate with Instrument" and then click "Query")
4. Have you tried this IBIC procedure? http://www.ni.com/su
pport/gpib/max/ibic.htm
5. Take a look at this link, it may be of help: http://www.ni.com/support/gpib/dos/attntpnp/default.htm
6. What type of termination character does your instrument uses?
If after looking at this questions and links your board still is not working please give us a call, we may need to try different workarounds or need more information from your system. As far as the information you wrote your board should work fine. Also, I can assume from your info that you have a 488.2 compatible instrument, is this correct?

HT3669 Hi I have a Konica Minolta PagePro 1300W printer. This works with my Windows-based Toshiba laptop but not with my i-Mac. Can someone please advise me how I get the printer to work with my i-Mac? I have installed it but documents don't print. Thanks

Hi I have a Konica Minolta PagePro 1300W printer. This works with my Windows-based Toshiba laptop but not with my i-Mac. I have the latest (Mountain Lion 10.8.2) OS-X software.
I have installed the printer using 'System Preferences' on my i-Mac and it appears on the list of available printers but documents that I create just don't print.
Can someone please advise me how I get the Konica Minolta PagePro 1300W printer to work with my i-Mac?
Thanks, John Lee

Looking at the Konica web site for the PagePro 1300W, I saw the following note.
Please note: This printer is designed to be used in computer operating systems running MS Windows only. Operating systems such as UNIX, Macintosh, or Linux are not supported nor do we have workaround drivers available. Older MS Windows versions, such as Windows 3.1/95/98[pre-SE] and NT 3.51/4.0, are not supported.
So KM are not going to help you. But the LinuxFoundation does provide a workaround that should allow you to print. Have a look at this web page. You will need to install all three packages as per the instructions from that page.

Although the HP Scanjet shows up in the system profile for the computer it is generic and is not configured (as in screen shot). It also does not show up in the ;ist of pritnters, scanner when I open Image Capture. I can't load the software that came with the printer because it is out of date so that would make it impossible to configure the scanner on the new iMac. see below: Too bad there isn't some generic profile I could load that would cover the 5550c. I have a new all in one printer-fax-scanner but the old one can scann in slides and negatives which I have.

I have a MacBook Pro connected and also a Mac Pro connected to the network on it and they still work, i have put the latest software on the PC and the firmware is up to date. The only thing i can see on the network on the PC is the basestation Hard Disk (shared also to the Macs) but i cannot connect with the password, i have tried everything in my knowledge, including formatting the machine and reinsatlling OS and changing security setting to no avail. Any ideas anyone?

SMS relay only works with one iMac or Macbook Pro, but not both?

I recently got a new iMac (5K). I already own a Macbook Pro 13" (bought in 2013). When I got the new iMac, I wanted to transfer all my data from my Macbook onto the new iMac, so I used the most recent time machine back-up from my Macbook to install onto the new iMac. No issues there. I also own an iphone 5s and ipad mini (1st generation), all with the most recent software updates. Approximately 1 week ago, SMS relay stopped working between my iMac and my iphone. I could type an SMS text message on my iMac, send it, and although it would transmit to the recipient, it would say "not delivered" on my iMac (it would show up as delivered successfully on my iphone). Consequently any SMS messages received would not show up on my iMac. I use the same login for my macbook pro and my iMac and for some reason my iphone stopped listing my iMac as one of the devices for SMS relay. I was on-line with Apple support for 3+ hours yesterday trying to figure out why this wasn't working. I did an SMC reset which temporarily fixed the problem, but as soon as I tried to use SMS relay with both the macbook pro and the iMac, the phone would only recognize one of them and ultimately always choose the macbook pro.
iMessage chats still sync just fine but the SMS chats do not any more. I was wondering if anyone else had the same issue, and if they did, are there any fixes?
Thanks,
Jon

Both the mini-displayport plugs and TB plugs are physically compatible which is why you can plug it in. But if the iMac has a mini-displayport for video it won't work with the TB display.
Check your System Profile to see if it tells you whether you have a TB port. And if there is no information about that post here or look up for yourself the kind of ports for that model of iMac. System Profiler will give yo that information (click Hardware on the left). From the model information it can be definitively determined whether that imac supports TB.
Also, so long as the Displays system preferences is not showing an Arrangement tab then it is not detecting the second display.

Wifi not working with iTunes, apps store and some, but not all Internet sites....why???

Yesterday I noticed while browsing Internet that some sites would not open and that some games I regularly play would not open. I also found that I could not open either the apps store or iTunes. Everything seemed to be working the day before and I have not recently upgraded ios (been on version 6.1.3 for a while) or changed any settings on my iPad (2). With Internet research today I found suggestion that if I switched to 3G I would be able to access these apps and,sure enough, under 3G connection everything works fine. Some other forums suggest changing wifi router settings to fix the issue ....I have not tried this as I wouldn't like to mess with my router and end up effecting other peripherals/pc's connected to it that are working fine....especially when I am not terribly IT savvy when it comes to hardware settings. But as I haven't changed anything on my ipad why would my wifi suddenly stop connecting to some apps on my iPad, but not all??? Interestingly I can access many Internet sites (forums) with wifi connection but not the apple forum! To get to anything apple related I have to switch back to 3G ....that includes checking the iOS version I am on via settings!
I also mention that I have done all the other suggested fixes found on various forums, such as rebooting iPad, renewing wifi lease, clearing cookies, closing all apps etc etc, to no avail. Seems the only suggested fix I have not tried is mucking around with my router which I am very hesitant to do given the **** I went through with my telco when my home Internet connection suddenly stopped working last year. Took me weeks of phone calls to get my internet connection back and being forced by the telco to a more expensive plan, hence very reluctant to start mucking around with that side of things, but why should I need to when it does seem to be working ok with other devices in the home?
I have started this as new discussion as, even though I am not terribly IT savvy, I cant see how this could be related to the wifi issues that many on the newer devices (iPhone 5 and iPad mini etc) are reporting as I haven't recently upgraded anything on my ipad and all was working perfectly up until yesterday.
Any other suggestions on how to get wifi working correctly again on iPad or do I really have to risk the working of every other device in my home and chase it from modem/router side?

Hi there,
You mentioned that you have tried a few troubleshooting steps already, but you may want to take a look at the article below, specifically the section titled "If you are unable to access the Internet while connected to a Wi-Fi network"

Msft ent desktop 7000 works with Macbook Pro 10.5.8 but not mini 10.6.1

I just purchased a Mac Mini with 10.6.1. I'm using it as an entertainment system hooked up to my 60 inch plasma. I bought a Microsoft Bluetooth Entertainment Desktop 7000 keyboard and mouse. i like the keyboard and it all works except for the integrated trackpad. At first i thought it was because it wasn't fully Mac compatible but when I tried it on my Macbook Pro 10.5.8 the trackpad worked fine.
Any suggestions??

Hi,
This is a guess: The MacBook Pro has a built-in trackpad, while the Mac Mini doesn't. Maybe it's missing a driver. When you have it connected to your MacBook Pro, try to look at your "Trackpad" system preference. Does that exist on your Mini? Also, try comparing the System Profiler outputs, especially concerning your USB.
It makes it a little more challenging when your systems aren't both the same OS level :-D, so some things will be different between the two systems just due to the OS levels.

ATT Microcell works with one iPhone in the house but not the other

A client of mine got new two new iPhone 6 phones when he and his wife signed up for ATT service. What ATT failed to tell him is that they don't have a tower in the area where he lives and he gets no cell reception from his house, and has one bar while standing in his driveway. Extremely frustrated, they went back and complained. ATT's answer (of course) was to then sell them a Microcell device. Oddly the Microcell they received is a small black box with only a single ethernet port in back. It is not like the white 'Y' designs you see online. The whole thing seems like a money making scam to me but that's beside the point. Anyway, I went over and hooked up the Microcell to their Xfinity router from Comcast, then logged into their ATT account and initiated the activation process. It took about 30 minutes to complete all four stages which included downloading a software update. Once the Microcell was activated, one of the Iphones had full bars. However, the other iphone still only had a single bar. Why would one iPhone have full bars and the other still have only a single bar? 1. Tried turning off both phones and turning them back on. Problem persisted.2. Tried moving the phone with a single bar coverage right next to the Microcell. Problem persisted. 3. Tried turning off just the iphone that had full bars. Problem persisted.4. Tried resetting the Microcell device. Problem persisted.5. Tried disconnecting both phones from the wireless internet network for the house. Problem persisted. Really confused on this could be happening with just one of the two iphones in the house.

AT&T has not completely updated the MicroCell page and links. The new MicroCell is the black DPH-154 model which is replacing the white "Y" shaped models and you describe it. Functionally, they are currently the same. The only difference is that Cisco/AT&T has done away with the external antenna port and the Computer port. It's not a money making scam.
You can have multiple phones connected to the MicroCell at any one time without issues. One of the iPhones I assume has the phone number that is associated with the AT&T mobile account. That should be the phone number used to register the MicroCell with (what we call the primary number). The other iPhone, which I will assume is on the same account, needs to be added to the Approved Users List. Once you add the "problem" phone, turn off the phone and then turn it back on so that it can add the MicroCell to its cellular neighborhood.

My Photoshop Elements 11 works with RAW from my Nikon D5100 but not with my D5200?

Is there a download to cope with the greater number of Mbs in the D5200 image?

Explanation here:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1030798?tstart=0
Each camera model has its own raw format. The 5200 format was issued after PSE11.
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
So 3 solutions :
- use the Canon software to convert to tiff files that can be edited by Elements editor
- update to PSE12
- (my advice) use the free Adobe DNG converter to batch convert your raw files to the DNG format. Your PSE11 will be able to edit them and you'll keep all the advantages of raw editing.
The size of your raw files are not relevant here.

Tips for working with USB floppy drives

I was just wondering if anyone had any tips on working with USB floppy drives in Archlinux.
One thing I've noticed is that trying to use mkfs.msdos on my USB floppy drive directly doesn't seem to result in a usable disk (it's mountable, but reports that I don't have enough space available to copy files), but if I use the command on an image file the same size as a floppy disk and then use dd to copy the blank image to my USB drive I get a disk that's perfectly usable. Anybody know what the deal is with that or how I might be able to successfully format a disk in fewer steps (other than keeping the blank images around and just using dd to format the floppies, haha)?
Also, I'd like to hear any other tips or tricks any of you have for working with USB floppy drives. They just seem so much more usable under Windows as opposed to Linux, and that disappoints me a little.

jmetal88 wrote:Okay, thanks guys. I haven't figured out the issue yet, but you're helping me narrow it down. I decided to run a df -h command after each try of formatting the disk this time. I tried the low-level ufiformat command followed by a mkfs.msdos on the device, using a 720k disk, and df -h showed 700k free on the file system. It's just not making the file system large enough (I believe the file I was trying to copy over was 710k or so). When I run mkfs.msdos on a 720k disk image and then dd the image over to the drive, df -h shows 713k free after mounting the drive. Any idea why mkfs.msdos isn't filling out the full 720k on the disk itself, but is on the image?
I would assume this happens because (as far as I can tell from skimming through the source over the course of a few minutes) mkfs.fat only applies floppy size heuristics to fd and lo devices -- your USB floppy drive is treated as a hard drive, and that leads to less-than-ideal default parameters. Run
fsck.fat -v
on the more spacious filesystem to figure out what options need to be set when you attempt formatting an actual disk. Or just make things easier by keeping newly-formatted blank disk images on hand so that dd and (maybe) ufiformat are all you need to worry about.

Has anyone had problems with the latest driver update for the Lexmark printers? My Lexmark printers won't work with the latest driver update.

Has anyone had problems with the latest Lexmark printer driver update? My Lexmark printers won't work with the latest driver update. If I reinstall an older version of the drivers, they work.

Mine crashed once with new update, but working fine.
I had to delete old printer, restart iMac, and then reinstall
new drivers to get it to work. Would not complete without
the restart after deleting non-working printer. No problems
since and all features working.

No. Your iMac doesn't have Thunderbolt. You'll need a Firewire or USB drive.

IPad is only works with changer , when I unplug it's not working

My iPad 3 is only works with changer when I unplug it's not working and not connecting to the PC even please some help?

Hi,
"But it didn't work it's just turning them to black gray scale colors not what i was thinking about."
If you want it to be colored, you'll need to create a color-palette for the 8bppIndexed bitmaps. The keyword for this process is "Color-Quantization".
The whole yellow-green pie you get is from the wrong format. If you convert the 32bpp bitmaps to 24 bpp bitmaps, you loose the alpha channel ("transparency"). You can manually set one color to "transparent" with the mMakeTransparent-method
of the Bitmap class, or simply use gif-images (they are 8bpp with a transparent "key"-color)
Regards,
Thorsten
