Firewire Expresscard problems... anyone got one that works?

I've got a toshiba laptop and I'm trying to hook up my first generation iPod with a startech.com expresscard reader (with two firewire ports). My third gen works fine, but the 1st gen can be read but not wrote to in windows explorer and iTunes (leading to all sorts of drama when I try sync). The iPod works fine in my other firewire computer. Does anyone know whats going wrong or know of an expresscard adapter that they use and works?
Thanks for your time,
Sean

Well, I have the one before that, the 2405, and I have them both connected via DVI. No problems.
Somethings wrong with the monitor...send it back.

Anyone got one to work with Leopard yet?

Posted this Rant at the end of another Topic, slightly OT so reposting here (with some additions):
I wish I could report that iTunes 7.6 broke my apple tv, because that would mean it had been working up until very recently. Sadly however, it hasn't been used since i put leopard on my media server (mac mini).
I bough one of the first batch of 40Gb ones before there were 160Gb ones, and have had to remove and re-add it to iTunes (streaming) every time i used it until leopard. now it will sometimes put in a fleeting appearance when removing a disk or plugging in an iPod.
Once it was even there long enough to tell it to sync one film. Since leopard my work around has been to remove and add it again but with syncing not streaming then sync the one film or tv show that is required. unfortunately this has only worked once.
What have I Tried To fix this i hear you cry well...
Under Tiger:
complete os rebuild, disabling firewall, rebuilding mac subnet from ground up playing sequentially with advanced router properties (yes i do know what i am doing, I'm a paid IT Technician) calling in a friend with networking and IT communications degree to help, calling in father with 20 years corporate network design experience.
End result? nothing changed in the way my network was setup, as nothing was wrong with the way i had it set up to begin with (that said the initial setup of the router justifies a whole f*ing essay). during this time all mac's at all times had current software. i took all software updates hoping for a fix. in the mean time using the workaround described above.
Under Leopard:
Are you Joking? even less functionality. after reading up and discovering you CAN'T DISABLE the leopard firewall yet, devised new work around (as above) worked once, gave up. too much to deal with with wifi connections under leopard dropping out continuously.
Result: useless piece of kit with truly wonderful and sleek looking software interface.
I think a large part of the problem is my laughable router which seems to flake out requiring a cold restart multiple times a day. (airport extreme 'n' 1st generation).
Both are just under a year old. I'll wait for 10.5.2 + Apple TV update + update to airport extreme base station (hopefully when time caplsule comes out).
If this doesn't resolve all my issues I'll just return ATV + AEBS, call it a day with apple networking and get a netgear n router, and one of those network HDD's with video playing capability and a tv output and hook both things up by my tv. no video conversion to itunes required. wireless n access to my media. half the cost, job done.
Don't get me wrong, mac's are still amazing but these two devices have shattered my faith in apple products, unless it's a mac or an iPod, I'll steer clear in future.
I would go back to Tiger but it is too much hassle now. They'll fix the WIFI and the firewall in 10.5.2 at which point there'll be nothing to stop me using my machines with leopard. updates for pro software continue to be released and nearly all of my applications worked with a clean install anyway.
Back to the topic, has anyone else got an ATV with leopard that does nothing at all? i want to be able to say to them that the product they sold me is not fit for purpose and return it under that premise.
Also if anyone has a fix (non voodoo please) I'd gladly eat my hat and just start using the bloody thing, albeit 10 months after purchase.

You say you tried switching off the firewall i tried that too and your quite right it seems that it will not work with the firewall off. as turning it off does not turn it off.
sos10: "I did make sure however iTunes wasn't on the list in the Firewall settings."
The list your talking about (if you're talking about the leopard firewall) is the list of programs WITH access. so if you have it set to: "set access for specific services and applications"; iTunes would have to be in that list with "allow all incoming connections".
The only other setting is essential services only which doesn't work. As this doesn't include the port we need to get a connection.
out of the three the one that works the most is the: "set access for specific services and applications"
iTunes - "allow all incoming connections"
This i when i get the odd reminder vis the devices list that i have a useless £200 electrical device heating up my front room.
Maybe this wouldn't be such a problem if you could actually open a port in a firewall (shock horror). I know they'd have to hide the option away somewhere so as not to mess up the simplicity of the interface!

Has anyone got NVrotate to work under Win98SE?

I installed the latest driver for this card for Win98
NVrotate is not available as an option in Win98SE
Display properties-->settings -->GeForce FX5200
I temporarily moved a drive with WinXP Pro onto this machine.
NVrotate is an available option in
Display properties-->settings -->GeForce FX5200
and works fine.
But for various compatibility reasons this machine has to been running Win98SE.

I managed to get it to work, you have to install two files
the first for the actual python script files.
the second for the user interface.
you might have installed the user interface, but without installing python, and that's why its not loading up the application, also make sure you install python to phone memory.
On my N96 I installed:
Python for S60 1.4.4
Python script shell 1.4.4
if you get an 'update error' when installing its because you have not un-installed all of the old python stuff, open app manager on the handset and un-install all python relating files
one last thing, install python and the shell to the phone memory (c drive)
Hope it helps

Buying new printer - want to get one that works with TC

I've seen plenty of posts about printers that don't work with TC, and a list of obsolete printers that do work.
Before I buy a new laser printer, can anyone recommend one that will work properly?

HP2300 seems to be obsolete, at least here in the UK.
I've currently got 2 printers:
Kodak AIO 5300 won't work at all - plenty of posts about this printer not working.
Samsung ML-1510 laser - some doubt about this one. I'll try it later today.
I suppose that it'd be better to get a proper network printer and connect it directly to my Netgear router. How good are Macs at working with "proper" network printers, via ethernet connection?

HDMI Switch...One that works w/ ATV

Ok, I went through several HDMI switches before I found one that works (and works well). NXG Technology NX-HDMI51 from Radio Shack ($99.95). Has five HDMI inputs, one HDMI output. It does not have any other ports.
It is HDMI 1.3b ATC certified and HDCP compliant. Its only been plugged in and working for a few minutes, but works fine. One issue though, I had to restart ATV. Once I did that, it works fine.
Just an FYI for anyone who's had this problem. Hope it helps!

Lightroom serial numbers are already multi-platform. They work on Windows and/or Macs.

Anyone got one of these?

Previous post deleted by mods - apologies.
I need some advice on this product:
It's called a "padprop" which allows you to apparently use the iPad more comfortably etc.
Anyone got one of these? What do you think of it - any good?
TIA

Right, and isn't that the one where you don't even have an iPad and you're pimping this UK iPad product just because you thought we'd all appreciate knowing about it?
If it was pulled, as you say, then clearly I wasn't the only one thinking that it smelled perfectly like an ad.

It seems I cannot use Sky Go even if I use Firefox. The only one that works is IE 11.

I was using Google Chrome, but it seems they do not support Silverlight which Sky Go use. I was told that Firefox would work. It doesn't. The only one that works is Internet Explorer 11, which is very slooow. Why can't I use Firefox to view Sky Go?

My Sky homepage. If I want to watch cricket say, it come up with ' sky go unavailable at this present moment'. If I log on to my IE 11, sky go works Ok. I have the Silverlight add-on or plug-in whatever you call it.
Still no joy in Firefox.

Certificates and Mail - has anyone got them to work recently?

Hi,
I've been using Thawte digital certificates with Mail for almost three years and had no problems. Recently one of my certificates was due to expire, so I revoked it and got another one issued. The certificate is installed in my Keychain and everything looks to be correct - Keychain places a small green tick next to it and says 'This certificate is valid' and it is also ticked in the Address Book.
However, the option to sign and encrypt messages in Mail's compose window has vanished. I can't find a way of getting it to appear so it looks like Mail can't find the certificate.
I've quit Mail and reimported the certificate, no change. I've tried a self-certified certificate to see if that works - nothing.
A look on the forums suggests that a number of other people have had similar problems.
So has anyone found a workaround? This is quite important as I rely on signed email messages when working on large documents.
Thanks,
Mike.

This is from Mail Help, that perhaps you have not seen:
"Signing and encrypting email messages
If you have a personal certificate on your computer, you can send signed messages (including the body of the message and any attachments) to anyone using Mail. Signed messages let your recipients verify your identity as the sender, and provide assurance that the message has not been tampered with in transit. A Signed icon (a checkmark) in the email header indicates your personal certificate is installed in Keychain Access.
Encrypted messages (which encrypt both the body of the message and any attachments) offer a higher level of security than just signed messages. You can only send encrypted messages when you have certificates stored on your computer for both you and all recipients of your message. The easiest way to get someone's certificate is to have them send you a signed email message. When you view a signed message, Mail automatically imports the person's certificate (or "public key") and stores it in your keychain. You'll know you have the recipient's personal certificate installed in Keychain Access if an Encrypt (closed lock) icon appears next to the Signed icon after you address a new mail message to that person.
To SIGN and ENCRYPT an email message:
Choose File > New Message. In the Account pop-up menu, choose the account for which you have a personal certificate installed in your keychain. A Signed (checkmark) icon on the upper-right side above the message text indicates the message will be signed when you send it. To send the message unsigned, click the Signed icon to deselect it. An unsigned ("x") icon replaces the checkmark.
Address the email. An Encrypt (closed lock) icon appears next to the Signed icon if you have a personal certificate for the recipient in your keychain and indicates the message will be encrypted when you send it. To send the message unencrypted, click the Encrypt icon to deselect it. An open lock icon replaces the closed lock icon.
For security, encrypted messages are saved in your Sent mailbox in an encrypted format.
If you don't have a certificate for all the recipients, a dialog appears that allows you to either cancel the delivery of the message or send the message unencrypted.
If your recipients are using Mail, security headers marked Signed and Encrypted are visible in the messages they receive. If they are using an application that doesn't use signed and encrypted messages, the certificate might be in the form of an attachment. If your recipients save the attachment as a file, they can add your certificate to their keychain.
Since many mailing lists reject signed messages (because the signature is an attachment), deselect the Signed icon before sending a message to a mailing list.

Hotmail Plus' SMTP Server, anyone got it to work?

HI All,
Well, my gf just got a new macbook after I finally converted her to a mac, but now I am trying to set up her Hotmail plus account in Mac Mail. (because entourage is too slow)
Since microsoft is now offering a pop3/smtp service for their plus members, I decided to upgrade her account and pay the 20 bux.
so far so good.
Obviously, when I try to set up her hotmail account in outlook on windows, or in entourage in mac, it works perfectly.
Only thing is, I want to use it in mac mail.
so I got the necessary info from microsoft (after 20 emails back and forth, and them pretending not to understand my question...)
POP: pop3.live.com (port 995)
SMTP: smtp.live.com (port 25)
Note: make sure you check the box that indicates that your outgoing server requires authentication (in most mail clients this is not checked by default).
Username: your full email address
Password: your Windows Live ID password
After setting up in mac mail with this info, I can now receive emails perfectly.
The only problem is that I cannot send any.
the smtp server seems dead, or non existent.
So my question is, is there anyone out there who got this to work? in mac mail or any other pop3 program?
I think its not a port problem, as I send my own mail on my own smtp server on the same router using port 25 as well.
Lastly, I would like to clarify that I do understand that hotmail *****, but moving to gmail or anything like that is not an option for her, its too big a hassle atm, so please do not respond if that was going to be your response
Ok, I really hope someone out there made this work.
Cheers, and thanks for any help/suggestions in advance.

I have exactly he same problem. Trust me, I know how you feel about switching. When I saw the green star I thought I finally stumbled across the answer. Don't know why you marked the question answered. I have tried all the different ports, none of which worked. I'm so looking forward to solving this one.

RegisterAlarm - has anyone got this to work?

I'm trying to get the registerAlarm function to work on a real phone, but it only works one time. I want the Midlet to be executed once every 30 sec, but after the first reschedule it stops rescheduling.
Does anyone have a clue on what's wrong? I do everything according to the book as far as I know.
I've looked everywhere, and have not been able to find anyone that actually has got this to work. Is it a bug in Midp 2.0? Does registerAlarm work more than once?
Below is some of my code that SHOULD work (<My midlet...> is replaced with the full name of my midlet class)
protected void startApp() throws MIDletStateChangeException {
try {
//some code...
destroyApp(false);
} catch (Exception e) {}
protected void destroyApp(boolean unconditional) throws MIDletStateChangeException {
try {
scheduleAlarm(30000);
notifyDestroyed();
} catch (Exception e) {}
protected void scheduleAlarm(long nextAlarmTime) throws ClassNotFoundException,ConnectionNotFoundException, SecurityException {
long nextAlarm = new Date().getTime()+nextAlarmTime;
try {
long t = PushRegistry.registerAlarm("<My midlet...>", nextAlarm);
} catch (Exception e) {}
}

...even starting the Midlet manually to force a rescheduled task won't work, but what is strange, is that if I turn the phone completely off and back on again, I can get it to work one more time.
I'm confused.

[Solved] KDE 4.4 Knetworkmanager, has anyone got this to work yet?

Been trying to get knetworkmanager working on KDE 4.4 and haven't got it to work yet. Well initially it did work. Here's the steps I did.
1) Had network running '/etc/rc.d/network start
2) Installed 'kdeplasma-applets-networkmanagement'
3) Commented out interfaces in '/etc/rc.conf' and defined dhcp:
eth1="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(!eth0 !eth1 !wlan0)
4) Set hostname in '/etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf':
[main]
plugins = keyfile
[keyfile]
hostname = pavilion
5) Added 'networkmanager' to daemon array in '/etc/rc.conf'
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng crond alsa hal kdm dnsmasq networkmanager cups netfs)
6) Added 'network' group to user:
gpasswd -a gen2ly network
7) Stopped network '/etc/rc.d/network stop'
8) Brought down interfaces 'ifconfig eth0 down && ifconfig eth1 down && ifconfig wlan0 down'
9) Started networkmanager
/etc/rc.d/networkmanager start
10) Started networkmanager applet (seems to me it was already started but I guess not??)
11) Got connected to network.
After reboot however, the networkmanager applet is telling me 'Unmanaged' when I rollover it, and when I click it it says 'Network Management disabled'. I've tried a couple things (like un-commenting the network devices on the interfaces line and restarting) to no effect. Doesn't seem I'm able to get it up again. Anyone else had luck with this? Did I miss something?

Ah, anti-destin that is exactly what was needed to be done. ... Thank you! Threw be off a bit, it did .
Off-topic somewhere here now, Ok, a good deal off-topic.. looking at the wiki page for configuring I think the wiki under section, 'Disable interfaces' is erroneous. Does NetworkManager really parse rc.conf? I can't think of any reason it would need to. I'm thinking that NetworkManager would naturally scan and then do dhcp on wired, followed by wireless. And for those that do a static ip, they can configure the applet. To test, I put this in my rc.conf:
#eth0="dhcp"
#eth1="dhcp"
#wlan0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(!eth0 !eth1 !wlan0)
And it worked fine. I'm thinking I could erase them and not have a problem.

Why is 1080i the only one that works for my slideshow.

Well... I'm getting to my breaking point.
First my system.. Mac Pro 2.66 2x300gb raid 0. x1900 ACD 30
5gb Ram
I have read many many posts.. but I still need your help.
I have found that the only thing that gives me a marketable slideshow in terms of quality images is to make a slideshow in imovie under 1080i.
The problem with this is that it really really slows my computer down, and I don't want to do this with a slide show of about 150 images per client, and then have wait more for transistions.
Shouldn't I start a new slideshow in "DV" setting for a 4x3?
I have tried reducing res from 10.2 mp to a 1024x??? settting for images (depending on orientation). All I seem to lose here is a bit of sharpening as I reduce the image resolution, which makes sense if I understand correctly.
So... Where to go from here.
I read the posts.. and have determined that I can use Photo to move (which I have) to make clips and import them into Imovie. Again, a slow process as each clip has to be done seperatly. Is there another way with PTM, because it does render the best Ken burns effect I have seen. Again 150 images is too long to wait to make a slide show of a wedding, not cost effective for me.
Hope someone can help.

Anyone??
When I make a movie in 1080 or 720.. it takes alot of resources and slows things down.
Just wondering why choosing those options are the only ones that seem to work
I really need to get it into 4x3 format too.

Firewire Expresscard problems... anyone got one that works?
