E3200 - Not as good as I was expecting

We live in a condo and the main computer and modem are upstairs. We had another name brand router installed and got good service everywhere except in the master bedroom downstairs. I went to did some research and was told this router would be the one to get. Upon arriving to the store I talked to the gentlemen in this department and he assured me this was the one to get. Once home the unit was installed in working in just a few minutes. Really easy set-up! I went downstairs and tried connecting on my iPad and the signal was about the same as it was with the other brand that was 1/4 the cost of this unit. I got my daughters laptop and tried it and it had about the same signal. The distance ias the crow flies is only about 50 feet. It is about 35feet out of bedroom and across living room to be under the office then you add about 15 feet up makes 50 feet. I checked for newer firmware but nothing available. I don't think this unit performs any better than cheaper units of same brand or others.
What's great about it: Easy set up
What's not so great: Price, range not good for multiple floors

Well, there are few things you should keep in mind with regards to N routers:
1) For the best possible speeds, you need to be using WPA2-AES as your security mode. Any other security mode will see your speed/range capped.
2) Any G devices in your wireless network will tend to hamper the performance of your overall network.
3) Ensure that your router is running the latest firmware from homesupport.cisco.com The new firmware includes performance enhancements and fixes.
4) The router by default uses a channel setting of auto, which means that it would keep switching channels depending on the interference. I’d recommend you set it to a fixed channel. Usually, 1, 3, 6 and 9 give you the best performance depending on your environment of course. I’d suggest you try different channels, observing each for a while, to see which gives you the best performance. You can follow the link here on how to change channels.

E3200 - Not as good as 2 years old router

I have Dlink DIR-655 router for last years 2 and bought this with the hope this must be better and turned out it is not as good and not worth the money -- the wireless signal is stronger on my old Dlink in next room that is about 25 feet away comparing side by side. I cannot make the USB port to recognize my USB external hard drive (with its own power) where it is not a problem with my DLink router. I am not sure why such a high price for this. Bummer.

First of all please verify that you have got a 802.11n card in your computer. New generation routers (i.e. E3200) speaks an entirely different language with 802.11g cards, so while those adapters can work with the E3200, but they are not optimized to provide good performance. It is like having to translate from one language to another in real time when going from N to G.
Second, make sure the adapter driver is up to date.
Also, if you are getting dropping connection over the wireless connection, then that can be improved by changing the wireless channel on your linksys E3200. In order to change the wireless channel, follow the steps:
1. Connect to your router's admin interface. Usually 192.168.1.1. The default username is blank,default password is "admin" (without the quotes).
2. Click on the Wireless tab and do the following changes.
For Channel Settings of 2.4 GHz you can make Channel Width to 20 MHz only and Channel to 6, 9, 11..
For Channel Settings of 5 GHz you can make Channel Width to 20 MHz only and Channel to 40 or 161..
3. Click on Save settings.
The E3200 router comes with the latest Cisco Connect software which allows you to add external storage, printers, and other devices that you can access and share within your network through its USB port.

Airport not as good as it was

For some reason, after installing Leopard, my airport connectivity at home is terrible. The same router, works fine on my friend's Mac Book which is still running Tiger.
It's working now - obviously - since I'm posting this, but intermittently, the airport connects to the network, but has a self assigned IP address. If i restart or turn Airport off and on again... maybe it'll work.
Leopard is great in so many ways, but I really want my airport connection to be reliable like it was in the past.
Using a D-Link ADSL wireless router/modem which has and is working just fine in Tiger.

I found the same issue at my home. I have two Airport devices. I upgraded a G4 1ghz DP and Powerbook G4 1gighzs, G5 tower. Since upgrading to 10.5 my wireless connections has gone to the dogs. An example would be my Powerbook 3 feet from an Airport Express and my signal strength was only two bars. I am finding that with all my macs. Yes, everything is updated, and properly configurated. My systems with Tiger did not show this issue at all. All systems and the entire network was rebooted. Still have the low bars in Airport software showing up
Any explaination and fix would be greatly appreciated

Infinity2 installed today; not as good as I was ex...

Hi all,
Openreach fellow turned up and installed the Infinity2 service today. He said on the way out that he'd gotten a full 80/20 on his little gadget that he used. However when I tested it with (the last 12 hours) I've been getting inconsistent results such as 4/8, 10/10 and most of the time 20/18. I've tried it both via ethernet to the HH3 and wirelessly.
The IP profile is set to 77.43/20, are the speeds meant to gradually climb over the first 10 teething days? Because the engineer said that the speed we get now should be the same after the X amount of days. The distance to the cabinet is approx 250 metres.
Or are my conditions not capable of getting the the max IP profile?
Thanks in advance

The DLM [Dynamic Line Management] system in the cabs monitor all lines for the first ten or so days to not only check the speed but also the stabilty of the line.
You will get some erratic reading while the DLM decides what is the most stable sync for your line,it does this for all lines at all times,but mostly during the first 10 days following a new connection.
If you just use it and try not to reset your OR modem [the white box] or you HH3,then your sync and IP profile should give you very near to the estimated speeds and sync that you were quoted at the point of sale.
BT do not answer any speed querys unless the line speed falls below about 12Mbps on infinty,so imo you should just wait out the ten days and it should smooth out.

Hello - I live in the UAE and my itunes account is regsitered here. Unfortunately the choice of music is not as good as when my account was registered in the UK. I cannot register my account in the UK as my bank details are all in the UAE now. HELP!

Hello - I live in the UAE and my itunes account is regsitered here. Unfortunately the choice of music is not as good as when my account was registered in the UK. I cannot register my account in the UK as my bank details are all in the UAE now. HELP!

Sorry, but no help is possible. You can only use the UAE iTunes Store, and Apple can only offer what content they are able to license for sale in that country. You'll have to look elsewhere for content. Whether there are any other download stores able to sell in the UAE I don't know. You may need to purchased CDs and import them into iTunes.

StringTokenizer not working as I was expecting

Hi all, I have a question related to StringTokenizer class. It is not giving me the results I was expecting. May be my understanding is wrong.
This is my code:
String string = null;
String delimiter = null;
StringTokenizer tokenizer = null;
string = "Normal";
delimiter = "_crMULT_";
System.out.println("string=" + string);
System.out.println("delimiter=" + delimiter);
tokenizer = new StringTokenizer(string, delimiter);
while (tokenizer.hasMoreTokens()) {
System.out.println("tokenizer.nextToken()=" + tokenizer.nextToken());
}This is the result I am getting:
string=Normal
delimiter=_crMULT_
tokenizer.nextToken()=No
tokenizer.nextToken()=mal
I thought this is the result I will get:
string=Normal
delimiter=_crMULT_
tokenizer.nextToken()=Normal
What I am doing wrong here?

The first delimiter character found in 'Normal' is 'r' so the first token is 'No'.
None of the other delimiter characters was found so the next, and last token is 'mal' since the 'r' was a delimiter and was stripped.The OP's confusion was thinking that the delimiter String was a single, multi-character delimiter, hence my reply.

I have created a new (alias) email address specifically for general emails (shopping, etc). I was expecting it to pop up in Mail, Inbox next to my existing .mac account. It's not there so where do I find it?

Aliases are merely another address within the same account, you won't see additional groups of settings for them. You should however see them as an option in the pull down "From" menu when you create an email.

My review of X1 Carbon - Not very good...

Well, I just got my X1 Carbon yesterday. So far, not so good.
I have i7 with 8GB of RAM, 256 SSD and WWAN. Pretty much maxed out on the upgrades.
1. The computer is litterally crooked. When I place it on a hard flat surface (my kitchen counter), it doesn't lay flat. There is about 1 mm gap below the front right rubber foot and the counter. So every time I touch the trackpad, I get a click from the laptop tapping on the counter. Lovely. This is annoying as hell. Poor workmanship by Lenovo.
2. USB 3.0 Dock is an absolute joke. I am using the Targus ACP71USZ. They are all the same, regardless of which model you buy, since they all use Displaylink technology. On the m,onitors connected to the dock, the mouse responds with tiny delays, so it is very annoying and difficult to accurately point the mouse. Its bad with both HDMI and DVI. HDMI is worse. Ethernet, is pathetic. I don't even get a 1mb download speed at speedtest.net. Other computers on the same copnnection get over 20mb. Ping was 800ms vs 5ms for other computers. Absolutely pathetic. Wifi gave me 7mb with 100ms ping. Then I tried connecting the ethernet cable to the dongle that comes with the X1, directly to the X1, and not the dock. I got 18mb and 5ms ping. Much better, but this adds to the fact that the dock is a $200 peice of garbage. The only good way to use an external monitor is via the mini displayport on the X1 itself. So basically here is my setup. I have 2 external monitors. One goes to the DVI on the dock. Other to displayport on the X1. Ethernet dongle on the USB of the X1, power cable on the X1, USB to connect the X1 to the dock. I have to plug in 4 cables to the X1 just to dock it. Kind of defeats the purpose of the dock, and its worse since the dock works like crap anyway.
If I were to just use the X1 as a laptop, then it would be fine. But this machine absolutely stinks when used with a dock.
I am alrerady considering putting it on ebay.

As for the T430s and the Series 3 dock I have, keep in mind it's the 135W dock I bought when I received the ThinkPad W510 for work. The problem I see with my dock and the T430s is that the T430s doesn't remember the configuration and state. So when I dock the notebook and boot it, it doesn't always display on the attached monitors. Or it changes which monitor is the primary. Or it displays only on one monitor at 800x600 resolution.
In short, it is unpredictable and very frustrating.
I have seen enough reports from other ThinkPad Optimus based models in this generation to know it isn't just me. There seems to be some issues with the chipset, drivers, and hardware integration.
There were no such issues with the T420 or T420s.
It is sad to see products take a step backward. You always think and expect continual improvement from generation to generation but it simply isn't true. You roll the dice each time.

Why is playback video quality not as good as the source?

Hi. I'm not new to PrE but am new to the forum.
I've been using PrE 2 for about 7 years. I got a newer computer running Windows 7 and basically was forced to upgrade to PrE 12 because PrE 2 didn't run very well on the newer machine. Once I installed PrE 12, I was eager to jump into my first project on this machine.
I expected that with a newer machine and the latest software, I would get outstanding results--hopefully much better than what I always got with PrE 2 on the old machine. With PrE 2, it was not uncommon that the imported video seemed lossy on playback or for whatever other reason seemed not as good as the source video.
Unfortunately, the results on the new/new were no better than the old/old. So I switched to my wife's (even newer) machine running Windows 8 and got the same results. Then I thought that perhaps the output to DVD would be better than what I saw in the PrE editor. No dice.
The video quality of the source isn't the greatest (see below), but I expected that the PrE 12 would be no worse.
What went wrong?
Here's what i'm working with on the current project:
Machine 1:
HP EliteBook 8560w
Intel Core i7-2640M 2.8 GHz CPU
Window 7 Enterprise SP1
2 GB RAM
360 GB available HD space
Machine 2:
Dell Inspiron 3521
Intel Pentium 2117U 1.8 GHz CPU
Windows 8 Touchscreen
4 GB RAM
400+ GB available HD space
Video Source:
iPhone 4 video (MOV format)
Thanks for ANY help you can give me.
BTW, I noticed that Steve Grisetti is one of the frequent commenters on this forum. In case you're reading this, Steve, I want to thank you and Chuck E. for your PrE books. I purchased one several years ago and found it extremely helpful. And surprisingly, I found that with PrE 12 I could still use the book that I purchased before because most of it was still relevant to the new software. Still a great purchase!!

Please excuse if I mention things you may already be aware of, but I did not want to take anything for granted.
The installed RAM on Machine 1 is too low for HD work, and I wonder about the processor on Machine 2 even though it has more installed RAM than that on Machine 1. For now, I will bypass the usual drills and get to the source media and project settings.
1. From what I can put together, your source media from iPhone 4 are 720p up to 30 frames per second. That usually translates into a variable frame rate which can be problematic for Premiere Elements. The variable can lead to audio out of sync, but not necessarily. If all else fails, then it is onto HandBrake or the like to change the variable into a constant frame rate.
2. One of the features of version 11 and 12 is the program taking over the setting of the project setting based on the properties of the first video drag to the Timeline. Some times it does it OK, sometimes not. When not, then you set the project preset manually yourself based on what you know to be the properties of your source media. Please refer to the following which includes how to set the project preset manually.
http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2013/04/pe11-accuracy-of-automatic-project.html
Based on what I have read about the properties of the iPhone 4 video, I would suggest the project preset (assuming a NTSC set up)
NTSC
AVCHD
AVCHD-LITE 720p30
One of the important things to remember is that Premiere Elements 11 and 12 have as their default project preset
NTSC
AVCHD
Full HD1080i30
and not the NTSC DV Standard of versions earlier than 11.
When 11 and 12 do not get the automatic project preset correct, they do not give you the closest fit, rather they give you their
default NTSC AVCHD Full HD1080i30 which is not going to be appropriate for 720p video.
Classically it is written if you have the correct project preset you should have no colored line over the content when you bring the video to
the Timeline manually set. But, just the variable frame rate can trigger the unrendered indicator (orange instead of red in versions 11 and 12).
So, rendering the Timeline would be indicated to get the best possible preview under these circumstances.
Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on either of your computers?
More later.

Application not working in Quality, which was working fine in Dev. Urgent!!

Hello Guru's,
We are experiencing a problem in portal.
Issue: We customized application in MSS( General Information which calls FM in the backend to populate the data) using NWDS and deployed the application into Development System and it's working fine. so we used NWDI to transport the code into Quality and the application is not working fine in Quality. The Issue is when transported the application into Quality it is not showing any data. and when checked the RFC trace it is not showing any FM been called when accessing the application. And also when checked in NWA it is not showing any error, when checked the JCo connections they are working fine.
Anyone please help us out. It's very Urgent.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Pramod
'Points will be awarded for sure for helpful answers.'

Hello Harini,
Thank you for the reply, and I was expecting answer from you. Was seeing other forums and your replies to those .
Anyways Let me tell a little more on the issue:
We are implementing ESS/MSS in portal as per the req. we need to create a custom iview with employee details. And for that we have created a FM which will pick up the data and we are accessing that Function Module in WebDynpro application.
We deployed the code into QA and Prod In prod it is working fine but in quality it's giving 500 Internal Server Error
when checking the log file we are not getting any error logged. and checking in the R/3 whether that FM is executing when accessing the application using ST05 tcode it is not showing up the RFC trace either.
And Configuration of QA is same as Prod and all the permission are properly assigned.
Just wondering how is a application responding differently in different landscapes.
Looking forward for a solution.
Appreciate your time and help.
Regards,
Pramod

My computer will not let me open itunes at all. It tells me that the itunes library can not be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes. What to do? Please Help Me.

My Computer will not let me open itunes at all. It tells me that the itunes libary can not be read because it was created by a newer version.

If you still have an issue you may have to see about using the iTunes version (application) included with Snow Leopard 10.6 from the installer or an another one if available online, and see if that will install.
Sometimes you may have uninstall the bits left in your system by the earlier (or later) iTunes installers; as they all leave a trace and these can stop a different version of iTunes from being installed.
Not sure if the following site/link will tell the method...
•Apple - Support - iTunes - install & update:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/install/
•Troubleshooting iTunes installation on Mac OS X:

Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
Then GULP, check for this...
Flashback - Detect and remove the uprising Mac OS X Trojan...
http://www.mac-and-i.net/2012/04/flashback-detect-and-remove-uprising.html
In order to avoid detection, the installer will first look for the presence of some antivirus tools and other utilities that might be present on a power user's system, which according to F-Secure include the following:
/Library/Little Snitch
/Developer/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/MacOS/Xcode
/Applications/VirusBarrier X6.app
/Applications/iAntiVirus/iAntiVirus.app
/Applications/avast!.app
/Applications/ClamXav.app
/Applications/HTTPScoop.app
/Applications/Packet Peeper.app
If these tools are found, then the malware deletes itself in an attempt to prevent detection by those who have the means and capability to do so. Many malware programs use this behavior, as was seen in others such as the Tsunami malware bot.

So to_date function accepts a string as input and returns a date. When a date is input instead, it is implicity converted to the required type of the function paremeter, which is a string, so that to_date can convert it back to a date again.
If you are lucky with the implicit conversion, you get the same date back, if you are not you might get a different date or an error.
From your query it appears that this conversion from a date, to a string, to a date, and then back to a string using to_char this time, is being done to remove the time or day part of the date. The actual range comparison is being done on strings rather than dates, which is dangerous as strings sort differently than dates.
In this example if I sort by date, Jan 01 comes between Dec 00 and Feb 01 as you would expect.
SQL> select * from t order by d;
D
12-01-2000
01-01-2001
02-01-2001When converted to strings, Feb 01 comes between Dec 00 and Jan 01, which is probably not the desired result
SQL> select * from t order by to_char(d,'DD-MON-YY');
D
12-01-2000
02-01-2001
01-01-2001If you want to remove time and day parts of dates you should use the trunc function
trunc(d) removes the time, trunc(d,'mm') will remove the days to start of month.
