E71x problem, and a question about 'physical damag...

Hiya,
Soooo I got the E71x in June, and I loved it, until about a month ago, it started frustrating me non stop.
The phone will tell me that its battery is low after I've charged it completely, and have seen 5 bars worth of power for 30 mins;
it will turn off without shutting down, without alerting me
it will freeze, and won't turn off with the power button--the only thing to do is pull the battery out;
it will tell me the sim card isn't registered and then turn off
OR
the screen will go blank, turn white, and display a message that says 'Insert SIM card' when the sim card is already in, and hasn't been moved or anything;
the phone will die when I try to send text messages, call someone, or the first 30 seconds into a call;
whenever the phone dies on me, I have to pull the battery out & then turn the phone back on, and when I do so a ghost image of whatever i had been doing before the phone died (the text i was about to send, for instance, or the home screen, or the 'insert sim card' screen) will appear for a second, pixelate, then vanish.
I called AT&T, they do not believe that it is a charger or battery issue, since I've checked those anyway. My software is up to date, I've tried all the online troubleshooting tips. I've obviously dropped my phone before, who hasn't, but it was never anything *huge*, the phone never turned off because I dropped it, the battery never popped out, etc. It has fallen from my jeans to the floor, for example, that's about it. So there's no physical damage because of that. I have never gotten the phone wet;---the circle on the back of my battery is white, so it hasn't been exposed to liquid or heat or anything extreme. I don't think my warranty would be turned down for physical damage due to the above mentioned.
However, I have a question if anyone who works for Nokia reads these boards; my parrot removed the 'p' key from the keyboard--just the key, the pad underneath works fine and is untouched, i can still type the letter p and everything--but the 'p' key, just that one, is missing. I can't find it. Would I really be denied my 1 year warranty because of that? is there anyway I can buy a key to replace the 'p' key so that I could send my phone to AT&T? all it would need to be fixed is a tiny dab of glue. That's it. I will be very frustrated if I can't get my phone fixed within warranty because of that key; I would be forced to get another phone, and I don't think my choice would be another Nokia. Please let me know what I can do about this problem, it's getting ridiculous, I can't even answer phone calls without my first rushed sentence being 'my phone might hang up on you but i'll call you back' anymore.

hahaha no, it's not the e71x, it is a piece of popcorn she DEVOURED. She LOVES popcorn. MMMmmmmMMMM she says. Haha.
@FastTortoise, I think a parrotlet might be a good fit for you, they were my pick because they have the same personality as a parrot (spunky, loving, fun, funny, etc) but they're TINY, and VERY quiet (comparatively::they've got nothing on cats). Check out this site for more info http://www.talkparrotlets.com/forum.php my name on there is brittany_lynn, you might be able to get my email from that site or from this, lemme know if you have ?'s or anything
P.S. All birds need a cage, a parrotlet just needs a smaller cage.

Power problems and a question about Zen support respo

I have a Zen Micro 8gb player and unfortunately I can now be added to the list of users with Battery/charging issues. I've tried all the troubleshooting steps I can find here and none resolved my problem. Resetting does not help, nor does charging via USB/AC Adapter, I've tried switching adapters, etc. I've never had this issue before.
The problem started a few days ago when I plugged my Zen in like normal to charge - it was completely dead - and after several few hours of charging, I was still unable to turn my device on. I plug the charger in and the device does recognize it, it powers on and I get the blue light and "Creative" logo on the screen. Then the little battery icon flashes between the green "charging" icon and the red "empty battery" icon. It will go on like this for hours. Normally it would only take an hour or two to charge but now I can leave it charging for an entire day then it goes dead right after I unplug it.
My question is - based on user experience here - whether it's probably my battery or my device that is defecti've. This was a gift and I'm sure it is out of warranty, not that I'd be able to get the receipt even if it was. I've already emailed customer care. I'm just wondering what people's general overall experience has been with support and if it's even worth trying to go through the support channels to get it fixed. Thanks in advance.
Kristal?

I am having the same problems....only I can't even get mine to come on. I have only had this thing for like 5 months.....if I would have known I was gonna have this many problems.... I would have went with another brand. And it would really help if I could get someone to give me a straight answer when I call! I am SOSOSO irritated!!

I have a resize problem and a question about the reset button.

What I am trying to do is clear the list, I can clear the name but I want the list to have no selections instead of going back to default. Also I wanted to know if there is anyway to resize the list windows because one of my list windows is off on my maac computer but not on a regular pc.

I'm looking to buy a new Macbook Pro, and have questions about the Applecare extended warranty?

I'm looking to buy a new Macbook Pro, and have questions about the Applecare extended warranty? I want to know if the 3 year extended warranty covers what damage. Like water damage, accidental damage, lost or stolen macbook, manufactory defects, or any other kind of damage, maybe be even cosmetic damage. Can anyone help me?

If you are talking about features of the MBP itself, as long as you are not looking at the Retina models, then the memory you can upgrade yourself for a lot less than Apple charges, and that does not affect the warranty as Apple considers memory a user permitted upgrade. Great sources are Crucial and OWC, both are Mac specialists and have on-line videos on how to do the install.
If the 15" is what you are looking at, a good upgrade is the 7200 rpm hard drive, gives a little better performance over the standard 5400 rpm drive.
The Hi Res screen is good if you do a lot of graphics work.
Comparing the 13" amd 15" you will notice the 15" has a second, discrete graphic processor...helps when you get into heavy duty videos, games, graphics...but keep in mind that kicking in the second processor uses a lot of power and will run the battery down faster.
If you are looking at the Retina models, then keep in mind there are no post-purchase upgrade options...you have to buy with everything you want at the start.
Just some thoughts.

LR 4.4 (and 5.0?) catalog: a problem and some questions

Introductory Remark
After several years of reluctance this March I changed to LR due to its retouching capabilities. Unfortunately – beyond enjoying some really nice features of LR – I keep struggling with several problems, many of which have been covered in this forum. In this thread I describe a problem with a particular LR 4.4 catalog and put some general questions.
A few days ago I upgraded to 5.0. Unfortunately it turned out to produce even slower ’speed’ than 4.4 (discussed – among other places – here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5454410#5454410), so I rather fell back to the latter, instead of testing the behavior of the 5.0 catalog. Anyway, as far as I understand this upgrade does not include significant new catalog functions, so my problem and questions below may be valid for 5.0, too. Nevertheless, the incompatibility of the new and previous catalogs suggests rewriting of the catalog-related parts of the code. I do not know the resulting potential improvements and/or new bugs in 5.0.
For your information, my PC (running under Windows 7) has a 64-bit Intel Core i7-3770K processor, 16GB RAM, 240 GB SSD, as well as fast and large-capacity HDDs. My monitor has a resolution of 1920x1200.
1. Problem with the catalog
To tell you the truth, I do not understand the potential necessity for using the “File / Optimize Catalog” function. In my view LR should keep the catalog optimized without manual intervention.
Nevertheless, when being faced with the ill-famed slowness of LR, I run this module. In addition, I always switch on the “Catalog Settings / General / Back up catalog” function. The actually set frequency of backing up depends on the circumstances – e.g. the number of RAW (in my case: NEF) files, the size of the catalog file (*.lrcat), and the space available on my SSD. In case of need I delete the oldest backup file to make space for the new one.
Recently I processed 1500 photos, occupying 21 GB. The "Catalog Settings / Metadata / Automatically write changes into XMP" function was switched on. Unfortunately I had to fiddle with the images quite a lot, so after processing roughly half of them the catalog file reached the size of 24 GB. Until this stage there had been no sign of any failure – catalog optimizations had run smoothly and backups had been created regularly, as scheduled.
Once, however, towards the end of generating the next backup, LR sent an error message saying that it had not been able to create the backup file, due to lack of enough space on the SSD. I myself found still 40 GB of empty space, so I re-launched the backup process. The result was the same, but this time I saw a mysterious new (journal?) file with a size of 40 GB… When my third attempt also failed, I had to decide what to do.
Since I needed at least the XMP files with the results of my retouching operations, I simply wanted to save these side-cars into the directory of my original input NEF files on a HDD. Before making this step, I intended to check whether all modifications and adjustments had been stored in the XMP files.
Unfortunately I was not aware of the realistic size of side-cars, associated with a certain volume of usage of the Spot Removal, Grad Filter, and Adjustment Brush functions. But as the time of the last modification of the XMP files (belonging to the recently retouched pictures) seemed perfect, I believed that all my actions had been saved. Although the "Automatically write changes into XMP" seemed to be working, in order to be on the safe side I selected all photos and ran the “Metadata / Save Metadata to File” function of the Library module. After this I copied the XMP files, deleted the corrupted catalog, created a new catalog, and imported the same NEF files together with the side-cars.
When checking the photos, I was shocked: Only the first few hundred XMP files retained all my modifications. Roughly 3 weeks of work was completely lost… From that time on I regularly check the XMP files.
Question 1: Have you collected any similar experience?
2. The catalog-related part of my workflow
Unless I miss an important piece of knowledge, LR catalogs store many data that I do not need in the long run. Having the history of recent retouching activities is useful for me only for a short while, so archiving every little step for a long time with a huge amount of accumulated data would be impossible (and useless) on my SSD. In terms of processing what count for me are the resulting XMP files, so in the long run I keep only them and get rid of the catalog.
Out of the 240 GB of my SSD 110 GB is available for LR. Whenever I have new photos to retouch, I make the following steps:
create a ‘temporary’ catalog on my SSD
import the new pictures from my HDD into this temporary catalog
select all imported pictures in the temporary catalog
use the “File / Export as Catalog” function in order to copy the original NEF files onto the SSD and make them used by the ‘real’ (not temporary) new catalog
use the “File / Open Catalog” function to re-launch LR with the new catalog
switch on the "Automatically write changes into XMP" function of the new catalog
delete the ‘temporary’ catalog to save space on the SSD
retouch the pictures (while keeping and eye on due creation and development of the XMP files)
generate the required output (TIF OR JPG) files
copy the XMP and the output files into the original directory of the input NEF files on the HDD
copy the whole catalog for interim archiving onto the HDD
delete the catalog from the SSD
upon making sure that the XMP files are all fine, delete the archived catalog from the HDD, too
Question 2: If we put aside the issue of keeping the catalog for other purposes then saving each and every retouching steps (which I address below), is there any simpler workflow to produce only the XMP files and save space on the SSD? For example, is it possible to create a new catalog on the SSD with copying the input NEF files into its directory and re-launching LR ‘automatically’, in one step?
Question 3: If this I not the case, is there any third-party application that would ease the execution of the relevant parts of this workflow before and/or after the actual retouching of the pictures?
Question 4: Is it possible to set general parameters for new catalogs? In my experience most settings of the new catalogs (at least the ones that are important for me) are copied from the recently used catalog, except the use of the "Catalog Settings / Metadata / Automatically write changes into XMP" function. This means that I always have to go there to switch it on… Not even a question is raised by LR whether I want to change anything in comparison with the settings of the recently used catalog…
3. Catalog functions missing from my workflow
Unfortunately the above described abandoning of catalogs has at least two serious drawbacks:
I miss the classification features (rating, keywords, collections, etc.) Anyway, these functions would be really meaningful for me only if covering all my existing photos that would require going back to 41k images to classify them. In addition, keeping all the pictures in one catalog would result in an extremely large catalog file, almost surely guaranteeing regular failures. Beyond, due to the speed problem tolerable conditions could be established only by keeping the original NEF files on the SSD, which is out of the question. Generating several ‘partial’ catalogs could somewhat circumvent this trap, but it would require presorting the photos (e.g. by capture time or subject) and by doing this I would lose the essence of having a single catalog, covering all my photos.
Question 5: Is it the right assumption that storing only some parts (e.g. the classification-related data) of catalog files is impossible? My understanding is that either I keep the whole catalog file (with the outdated historical data of all my ‘ancient’ actions) or abandon it.
Question 6: If such ‘cherry-picking’ is facilitated after all: Can you suggest any pragmatic description of the potential (competing) ways of categorizing images efficiently, comparing them along the pros and contras?
I also lose the virtual copies. Anyway, I am confused regarding the actual storage of the retouching-related data of virtual copies. In some websites one can find relatively old posts, stating that the XMP file contains all information about modifying/adjusting both the original photo and its virtual copy/copies. However, when fiddling with a virtual copy I cannot see any change in the size of the associated XMP file. In addition, when I copy the original NEF file and its XMP file, rename them, and import these derivative files, only the retouched original image comes up – I cannot see any virtual copy. This suggests that the XMP file does not contain information on the virtual copy/copies…
For this reason whenever multiple versions seem to be reasonable, I create renamed version(s) of the same NEF+XMP files, import them, and make some changes in their settings. I know, this is far not a sophisticated solution…
Question 7: Where and how the settings of virtual copies are stored?
Question 8: Is it possible to generate separate XMP files for both the originally retouched image and its virtual copy/copies and to make them recognized by LR when importing them into a new catalog?

A part of my problems may be caused by selecting LR for a challenging private project, where image retouching activities result in bigger than average volume of adjustment data. Consequently, the catalog file becomes huge and vulnerable.
While I understand that something has gone wrong for you, causing Lightroom to be slow and unstable, I think you are combining many unrelated ideas into a single concept, and winding up with a mistaken idea. Just because you project is challenging does not mean Lightroom is unsuitable. A bigger than average volume of adjustment data will make the catalog larger (I don't know about "huge"), but I doubt bigger by itself will make the catalog "vulnerable".
The causes of instability and crashes may have NOTHING to do with catalog size. Of course, the cause MAY have everything to do with catalog size. I just don't think you are coming to the right conclusion, as in my experience size of catalog and stability issues are unrelated.
2. I may be wrong, but in my experience the size of the RAW file may significantly blow up the amount of retouching-related data.
Your experience is your experience, and my experience is different. I want to state clearly that you can have pretty big RAW files that have different content and not require significant amounts of retouching. It's not the size of the RAW that determines the amount of touchup, it is the content and the eye of the user. Furthermore, item 2 was related to image size, and now you have changed the meaning of number 2 from image size to the amount of retouching required. So, what is your point? Lots of retouching blows up the amount of retouching data that needs to be stored? Yeah, I agree.
When creating the catalog for the 1500 NEF files (21 GB), the starting size of the catalog file was around 1 GB. This must have included all classification-related information (the meaningful part of which was practically nothing, since I had not used rating, classification, or collections). By the time of the crash half of the files had been processed, so the actual retouching-related data (that should have been converted properly into the XMP files) might be only around 500 MB. Consequently, probably 22.5 GB out of the 24 GB of the catalog file contained historical information
I don't know exactly what you do to touch up your photos, I can't imagine how you come up with the size should be around 500MB. But again, to you this problem is entirely caused by the size of the catalog, and I don't think it is. Now, having said that, some of your problem with slowness may indeed be related to the amount of touch-up that you are doing. Lightroom is known to slow down if you do lots of spot removal and lots of brushing, and then you may be better off doing this type of touch-up in Photoshop. Again, just to be 100% clear, the problem is not "size of catalog", the problem is you are doing so many adjustments on a single photo. You could have a catalog that is just as large, (i.e. that has lots more photos with few adjustments) and I would expect it to run a lot faster than what you are experiencing.
So to sum up, you seem to be implying that slowness and catalog instability are the same issue, and I don't buy it. You seem to be implying that slowness and instability are both caused by the size of the catalog, and I don't buy that either.
Re-reading your original post, you are putting the backups on the SSD, the same disk as the working catalog? This is a very poor practice, you need to put your backups on a different physical disk. That alone might help your space issues on the SSD.

Quick (and urgent) Question about Intel G5's

Just a quick question about the new intel G5's.
I currently have bunch of software for my PPC G5 which is a Dual 2ghz. Software includes Adobe CS2, Macromedia Studio, Quark 6, etc, etc.
If I purchase the new intel mac, would I be able to use the same software? or would I be forced to purchase a whole new set of everything I currently have?
If the software will work on the intel G5, would it perform at the same rate/better than how it performs now on my PPC g5?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Rosetta:
Most of the time you get a real 'hit' when a program first opens that is PPC. Very sluggish. They will require and use more memory than otherwise, too.
Tests from last August aren't as helpful, there have been improvements, letting the Mac Pro pull even further ahead.
http://www.barefeats.com/quad06.html
Comparison Mac Models shows scores of all models. So there is 2x as much or more processing power, bandwidth, better video, as well as disk drives. A 'base' configuration would be 4-6GB RAM.
And there are differences, more than between G4 and G5.
People with experience would be Mac Pro Discussions
Don't use Migration Assistant, and upgrade to CS3 etc. reinstall all your applications fresh.
There are some drivers and plug-ins, that can be problems, and known.

Question about water damage vs. tripped sensors

Hello,
I recently purchase my very first Macbook Air, for which I am very pleased. The other day in the coffee shop, a child hit my elbow and a little coffee splashed on my trackpad. I was very paranoid, and immediately made a Genius Bar appointment. The genius stated that there was a drop inside the computer (near the trackpad) and that I could get a replacement for 800+. I was really upset, but was really sure that very little coffee spilled. So, I took it to an apple certified technician to glance at it.
Their response "no worries....we cleaned off your trackpad and there was no damage. The water sensors were never tripped.".
However, after reading all these forums, I'm worried that the genius 'blacklisted' my computer. How would I know this? And, could I argue this?
I should mention that at the moment of the 'spill', I reacted quickly and my computer showed no sign of issues. I immediately took it to the Apple Store, and did not turn it on before I had a second opinon.
Since I'm new to Apple/Mac, information would be helpful.
Happy Thanksgiving.

I'd strongly recommend getting a written statement from the Apple Authorized Service Center, on their letterhead with a date/time and acknolwedgement of no issue. While there's no such thing as "blacklisting" you'd be surprised what Genii will write in their notes after a bar appointment.
For example:
I referred a user to the Genius Bar about three weeks with a stuck Mini-Disc in their optical drive. I was unable to jar it loose without more "creative" methods and did not want to potentially jeopardize their warranty. The user did not want to pay for me to disassemble the machine and remove the disc. She went to the Genius Bar where the person that helped her gave her the same option (disassembly of machine, removal of disc) for $99+ tax. The user refused the service and said for $100 I can think of a creative way to get it out for less. Last week she gave up and took it in for the $100 service when a different person at the Genius Bar said:
"Our notes say that your last visit to the Genius Bar, you told the Genius that you were going to use a screwdriver or nail file to remove it." They also no longer offered the $100 service for the disc removal and instead quoted her an out of warranty/physical damage service call of $375.
So, long story, short. I'd cover your tracks. Last I spoke with my user, she was still working with AppleCare to have that note entry on the screwdriver/nail file stricken from the record on her machine.

TrackControl, Change Track, and others questions about AvTransmit

Hi there,
I've got multiples questions about JMF and AvTransmit, hope you will help
For a small student project, i'm developing a streaming server using JMF, i have used the AvTransmit example.
Streaming, etc... everything work fine, i stream music over web
But i need help with "playlist" :
// Get the tracks from the processor
TrackControl[] tracks = processor.getTrackControls();
First Question :
The Processor use a MediaLocator to get one track, is there a way to indicate multiples tracks, such as a directory containing multiples audio file ?
At this time, i can only set 1 file in the MediaLocator.
I'm using a simple class as Playlist (a File[]), and, when i want to change song, i stop the thread, change the MediaLocator with another file, and restart the thread.
It works on a Lan, but on Internet, Player (I use VLC for my test) lost the connection, i need to restart VLC to get audio again.
Second Question
Is there a more "elegant" way to change tracks ?
Last Question
I have think about building my own object Playlist... gasp...
I've look at the javadoc... but i'm a bit lost... does my class have to implement TrackControl ? what are the object inside etc...
If someone knows information about this...
That's all ;)
Thanks !
Tommy, french student (sorry for the english)

First Question :
The Processor use a MediaLocator to get one track, is there a way to indicate multiples tracks, such as a directory containing multiples audio file ?
At this time, i can only set 1 file in the MediaLocator.No. The processor uses a MediaLocator to get one file. Files (can) contain multiple tracks.
You can, in fact, combine the tracks of multiple files together, but, there's no need to do that with your application. AVTransmit2 sends each track as a separate RTP stream, so you'd just be sticking them together just to pull them apart again.
In general, you want to keep your architecture as one processor per file, one RTP stream per track.
Second Question
Is there a more "elegant" way to change tracks ?Yes. It's what I refer to as a jukebox DataSource. I discuss it / explain the concept on this previous thread.
[http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=28&threadID=5400318]
What you're essentially doing when you change the MediaLocator is starting over from scratch. You end up with a whole new DataSource, whole new Processor, whole new RTP session. On the LAN, this isn't an issue because it looks like you paused the RTP session (because the IP/PORTs don't change).
Over the internet, though, when you stop sending and restart, you're very likely going to get a new public NAT port. And so when your stream gets to the client, it's going to look like it's from a different person than the original.
The solution is to use the jukebox datasource to change the media without restarting the Processor or the RTP streams. That'll ensure that your stream won't move between files from the perspective of the client...
Last Question
I have think about building my own object Playlist... gasp...
I've look at the javadoc... but i'm a bit lost... does my class have to implement TrackControl ? what are the object inside etc...
If someone knows information about this...Ummmm, your "Playlist" object should just be a Jukebox datasource, so follow the link and figure out how that's supposed to work. If you have questions about it, just ask 'em here (rather than on the older thread)...

Just finding some of the questions on the Premier Pro board really entertaining... like that 20 year old version of premier. And then questions with old troubles I resolved or worked around... most of which I've forgotten the solutions to like the export to H.264 crash.
Does anyone here keep a log of personal problems which they've resolved? I've tried doing it I still forget to log a good amount. Also, good to see you guys have been so active in assisting everyone still. Jim's been on a roll tonight (4/25).

There must be something missing from my diet as I have a hard time remembering 1/2 of the things I've done.
Not diet, but something called "retirement... "
it's a little irritating when I know I've gone through the situation and can't give any helpful advice on how I got out.
I could not agree more. Whenever the topic of Copy/Paste with Audio going bad comes up, I miss a very long thread, from very long ago, as many of the "top guns" have pithy comments, and several workarounds. That thread, like so many others, all disappeared with one of the forum changeovers. Wish that I had made copies of all the replies, as they were great.
I feel that pain too,

Fan problem on L645-S4036 (temporary fix and a question about it)

Ok, after some days of usage on this laptop, I have found that the fan only goes to 95% of usage when I'm playing, which is normal I think... BUT also goes crazy when I turn on the laptop, and I don't use for about 15 minutes, even if the temp is just fine, with no software running on the background.
If I use it, the problem doesn't show up at all...
The only way to turn it off and lower it to about 45% (if the computer is not hot), or 0% (is so nice like that... No noise at all), is suspending the laptop, and turning it up again. Really strange thing.
I guess is a problem with the BIOS, or the temp calculation of it. Do anyone know if Toshiba is working on a BIOS update for this issue?
I'm happy with this laptop, the battery which is faulty, lasts about 2.3 hours, not 3.9 hours as said at the specifications (not a problem, warranty is supposed to bring me a working replacement... Doing it tomorrow) and the fan noise are the only problems I have found after a month of use.
I hope the temporary fix helps a bit...If anyone knows another way to fix it, reply me, because third party software didn't worked for me.
Thanks a lot!

I have TOSHIBA Sattelite L300. I have same problem. I installed SpeedFan to monitor CPU temp. I found something CRAZY about toshiba conception on temp. regulation!!! The fan stops when temperature of CPU goes under 30 degrees !!!!!!!! UN BELIEVABLE!!! It's very hard to be done... I can achieve this VERY HARD! In the room temp is 20 degr., outside is 10 deg. the laptop is on the table... cpu usage 1-2% !!!! Fan goes on AND NEVER STOPS, temp of cpu stays constantly at 35 deg. I pickup the laptop in air, or put a remote control of TV under front side, and miracle!!!! after a few minutes the temp goes to 29 deg and fan stops (of course if you standby and resume, fan stops too). But not for long... the temp. of cpu starts growing. first the temp grows fast, then it almost stops growing about 45 deg. and you say wow super! But than suddenly fan start (about 45 deg.) if it didn't start... the cpu temp wouldn't rise above 55 deg.
I have another LAPTOP, Sony Vaio, I installed SpeedFan to monitor CPU temp too... This machine has a very different conception about cooling... I can't hear it FAN ever... Tha speedfan shows this: When you use machine actively, the cpu stays about 70 deg. tha fan speed varies very smooth (not on a steps like the toshiba laptop) and when you not using CPU actively, the fan speed drops to a very slow level, almost can't hear it... have to put my ear near to where the air goes out... and from this quiet speed, the cpu temps goes down slowly, and when it's about 60 deg. tha fan stops at all... and what I see in speedfan is that cpu temps raise very slowly to about 65 deg. (this is when the laptop is over me (not on the table with remote control for more air :-) ) the fan never start if I'm not using CPU actively and the temp stays about 65 deg., when I start using cpu a little more activily the fan starts at 74 deg (at lowest speed, not like the toshiba "Buuuu... buu... bbb" - on a few steps to the lowest level starting from high) and can't hear the fan is working, just see how the temp starts falling... and when achieves 60 deg. STOPS (but you can't hear it at all). So the concept is that when you are not using a CPU actively... the CPU can cool WITHOUT FAN RUNNING (at about 50-60 deg. PLEASE TEST IT). So I think TOSHIBA MUST DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT... I can't believe that engineers thinks that every 5 min. temp. jumps from 30 to 45 deg, from 45 to 30 and this is 24/7 (if you put your remote control under laptop and you live in a cool country where outside is 10 deg. and inside is 20). Instead of CPU at constant (or at least slowly changing) temp. This is not good for any machine (cooling, heating, cooling, heating... this is bad for machinery). The problem could be solved just by changing fan on temp to 74 and fan off to 65 deg. for an example...
So I wait for a new BIOS version SOON, with updated values...
Thank you! in advance...
Other wise... NO CHOICE... change your laptop with a one with a better cooling concept...
If any one needs more info or what ever, please feel free to contact me...

WRT160N v2 - problems with WPA2 and some questions about N

Hi guys
WRT160N V2 (F/W 2.0.03)
So I've been operating on Wireless G with WEP for a good while because of the problems I had in the past. The other day I decided to try again with the "N" and the WPA2... and spent 4 hours going around in circles; now I'm on B/G Mixed/WPA-PSK.
When I tried to use "N", (by enabling "Mixed" with everything else set to "Auto") even my HTC Sensation would only pick up a "G" connection... and all my laptops (which are not "N" capable) would not connect at all. So I ditched that and looked at the encryption and authentication.
When I enabled "WPA2" "AES/TKIP", my machines and phones would either not connect at all, failed to get an IP address, or connected fine with an IP address but routing wasn't working... and these symptoms seemingly occurred randomly - no direct device correlation and one device might show all the symptoms at different times.
I dropped down to WPA, and (touch wood) everything seems to be working at the moment... but I don't trust it. Can you tell me what I need to do to get this working on N and WPA2? Have I missed a firmware update?
p.s. Is this model 2.4GHz or 5GHz please?
Cheers

That's 2.4.. G network would only work in this case since you don't have N cards on your computers
Check out this article so you know what security you can set on your computers, some devices are not WPA capable so you might want to think about that too.

Slim, a problem with virtual consoles and a question about reboot

hi, just installed slim but now when I switch to the virtual consoles my session on X starts firing keyboard events on the consoles I have there, how can I fix that?
I'm using xmonad, my terminal is sakura and I'm starting slim from /etc/inittab and xmonad from ~/.xinitrc
also, it seems slim uses special usernames to halt and reboot however those ask me for the root password, is there a way to avoid that?
thanks all.

this http://developer.berlios.de/bugs/?func= … up_id=2663 might be related. out of curiosity, why are you starting slim from /etc/inittab and not as a daemon in /etc/rc.conf?
Samus_ wrote:also, it seems slim uses special usernames to halt and reboot however those ask me for the root password, is there a way to avoid that?
the flippant answer is, "yes, fix slim." but so as not to be a jerk, 'man slim' turns up this:
The 'halt' and 'reboot' commands need the root password, this may change in future releases.
so i was about to say, "no." then i decided to hit google with 'slim "special usernames" password'. unfortunately, your post here is the fourth result, so no love there.
*but* there's this:
http://developer.berlios.de/bugs/?func= … up_id=2663
and this:
http://developer.berlios.de/patch/?func … up_id=2663
and the abs.
so if you really want it, read the wiki page on the abs, add the patch to the pkgbuild, makepkg, and pacman -U. if you don't want pacman to replace your patched version when there's an update, add slim to the IgnorePkg line in /etc/pacman.conf. you'll have to re-makepkg and re-pacman -U whenever there's an update, but it ain't that hard.
if it works, i might like a copy of yr pkgbuild. hth!

Documents folder on Desktop and a question about trash

Hello all. My previous experience has been on Windows PCs, and as a result, I make assumptions and get frustrated on my new Macbook. I was trying to organize some of my files in the Documents folder, and at one point my errant clicking and dragging caused a folder to appear on the desktop for "Documents." Based on my previous experience with Windows, I assumed that folder was a shortcut folder, and because I like my desktop area to be uncluttered and free of icons, I moved it to the trash without thinking anything of it. I continue to organize files in "Documents" under finder as if nothing is amiss. Lo and behold, I go to empty my trash later, and I notice that it is taking some time and says "Deleting 214 of 6517 files" which clues me in to the fact that it is deleting a LOT of things, not just the one or two extraneous short cut icons I thought I had thrown in there. I hit "Stop Emptying Trash" and took a look at the damage. Many of my files in "Documents" got deleted. I moved the "Documents" folder out of the trash and on to the desktop. My questions for anyone kind enough to answer is this:
1. Is there ANY possible way for me to recover those files? Are they really REALLY gone? If it were Windows, I would know where to look, but because I am new to this OS . . .
2. What should I have done to remove this darn icon from my desktop? I know its always said that "everything is so intuitive on a mac" but I disagree. Especially when you have moved over from Windows. The contextual menu that comes up when I click on the icon does not allow me to "delete this shortcut." How can I delete this from the desktop but still retain the few files I have remaining?
Any and all help is appreciated. Have a great day. Thanks - b

Hi, werty. Welcome to the Discussions.
By the numbers:
1. See my "Data Recovery" FAQ for comprehensive advice that may help you with this problem.
2. Based on what you describe, it sounds like you dragged your Documents folder to the desktop. Generally, the files and folders that appear on one's desktop are actually files and folders within your Home > Desktop folder. By default, your Documents folder is also within your Home folder, at the top level like the Desktop folder, i.e. Home > Documents. You should have moved the Documents folder back to the top level of your Home folder.
Mac OS X aliases to objects — roughly equivalent to Windows shortcuts to files and folders — are created by dragging an object while holding both the Command and Option keys. See "Mac OS X 10.4 Help: Creating an alias." An alias to an object displays a curved arrow in its lower-left corner — a badge — to differentiate itself from the actual object.
If you merely drag an object from your Home folder to your desktop, it moves that object from its former folder to the desktop, i.e. the Home > Desktop folder: it does not create an alias to that object unless you also hold Command-Option while dragging.
Finally, you wrote: "My previous experience has been on Windows PCs, and as a result, I make assumptions and get frustrated on my new Macbook."While Macs are quite intuitive, there are some significant differences between Mac OS X and Windows and an associated learning curve. In some cases, the key to switching is, as Yoda said, that "you must unlearn what you have learned."
Since you are new to Mac, you will find my "Learning About Mac OS X" FAQ helpful. It lists a number of resources that you will find useful in your transition to Mac including books, online training, switching from Windows, and more.
Good luck!
