Fixed my slow iPad Wi-Fi issue, here is what I found...
I believe the iPad may have a issue if the router's QoS (Quality of Service) is enabled. I have a Linksys WRT300N router and when I disabled the QoS my download speed went from ~500Kbps to ~13000Kbps. This QoS setting does is not affecting my iPhone and iPod devices, only the iPad.
I have not experienced any signal issues, so I don't know if this will resolve those issues. I have informed Apple of my findings. QoS is a common feature on many routers, so if you are experiencing Wi-Fi issues please disable QoS in your router and let everybody know if this fixes your problem. Please report back your routers make/model and where to find the QoS setting.
If your were experiencing signal issues and after applying this patch resolves those issues please let everybody know by responding to this thread.

I have been traveling with my son's brand new iPad. Wifi is practically non-exsistent, it always times out, looses signal. I can get e-mail fine but searching the internet for information is impossible. The old telephone line would be faster! I tried the Apple solutions and haven't solved the problem. Resetting MY router doesn't help when traveling and they should able to negotiate various routers! My MacBook Pro picks it all up fine, side by side with the iPad, so it is not the speed of the signal (blaming it on someone else?). I have been using Mac's since 1990, I have come to expect better from Apple. A lot of money to spend on an iPad when I could have given him my titanum Powerbook!

Been testing with my new Vista 64 install here's what I found
Some one correct if I'm wrong but I've been doign alot of testing since adding Vista 64 to my computer. There's been alot of speculation about Vista 64 and possible benefits to premiere. From what I can tell there are none. Besides Photoshop being 64bit native.
The 'Vista 64 difference' is only comes into play with After Effects because it can spawn multiple versions for each core using 3 gigs Ram each. (easily checkable in the Vista Task Manager)
My question is why didn't hey make Adobe Media Encoder the same way?
After effects doesn't make you render with AME and if you render an After Effects file in Vista 64 and with only 6 gigs of ram it renders a good bit faster than in Adobe Media Encoder.
With this in mind, if you render your Premiere project with After Effect Dynamic linked files, it will render slower than if you imported the whole thing into After Effects and just did a render from there. Unless you want to make a DVD (you still can't encode MPEG with AE, probably a save money license thing).Hey Josh Townsend, I have a good idea, lets go to adobe.com, and type in the search bar "feature request" and fill out the form on implementing that feature into the adobe media encoder, so that it will render just as fast.
If we don't make our requests known, adobe can't act on them!
P.S. AE has the same multi-core functionality on XP-32 so the question you might ask yourself is why go with Vista, when XP is clearly better! -
Hello everyone,
If you all wanted to know, here's what I found out about the new updater (3-23).
(1) Volume Limiter (You can set the max volume---this is totally optional)
(2) Much Faster scroll (In addition to the transition between menus being quicker, when you scroll through the songs, it is ALOT faster----this is great for those of you who have large music libraries...)
(3) Video bug fixed (Although, I upgraded from 1.0 rather than 1.1, I noticed that my videos still played flawlessly---they were converted using Videora)
I hope this helps. Let me know if anyone finds anymore with the update.
Randalland one other interesting note: before my 3-23 update to 1.1.1 I was able to use the good ol' menu button as a light on/off switch. now i can't. after reading through some support articles i found this one and it says: "With iPod models prior to Fifth Generation iPod and iPod nano, you can also press and hold the Menu button down to toggle the backlight on or off." I have a 1st, 3rd and 5th gen iPods and all, up until the new 1.1.1 update, have let me use the menu button as a light controller. BRING IT BACK!!!!!!
and my iPod used to also automatically turn on the backlight when i would start a video; assuming i had the light on and shut it off with menu. i don't know if i had a random iPod that did this stuff but i sure did like it.

Just upgraded to OSX 10.9 mavericks on macbook pro mid 2011 version. Having a big issue here that whenever my mac comes back from sleep, i.e after I open the lid, the screen flickers and there is an error of Finder not opening properly. Any fix to this?
My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

Here's the FIX for no GUI 7.7 issue
Like many, I had the no-GUI/hang problem after upgrading to 7.7. After working with support, and fiddling around, heres the situation:
7.7 wants to touch every song in your library the first time it launches. I suspect it's updating something in the library. I have 10,000 songs, and my library is on an Airdisk, so that's a lot of traffic. Like many, I wasn't patient and killed iTunes, which may have corrupted the library.
Support indicated that there's separate problems with the software update version, so they had me reinstall from the manual download.
Fast fix (i.e. avoid it):
1) Delete iTunes.app (stop iTunes Helper in Activity Monitor). Empty the trash.
2) Download and install iTunes from www.apple.com/itunes
3) Reboot
4) Have your library attached directly to the computer (for speed)
5) The first time you run iTunes, be patient!
If you've already tried, and had to kill iTunes, here's what I did to fix it:
1) Do Steps 1-3 above
2) Move the .xml file out of your iTunes library folder (~/Music/...) to the desktop
3) Restore your iTunes library from your last good Time Machine backup prior to the 7.7 upgrade (you do run Time Machine, right?)
4) Attach your library locally!
5) Run iTunes and be patient. My locally attached library took 4-5 minutes to have the GUI come up. If you use a network it may take much longer.
Now I can close iTunes, eject the library disk, put it back on the Airport Extreme, attach that volume, and iTunes comes up like 7.6.2 did - fast and stable. Still works after rebooting too.
I'm not 100% sure if you need to restore your library from backup, but at the very least remove the XML file and give it a go.
Good luck!Nope - and it was set to not look for them.
The final clue came when I tried hooking the drive directly to the computer, instead of to the airdisk. iTunes still hung. Then I disconnected the drive and tried to run it, and iTunes came up right away - but with an ! next to each song. Clearly it was trying to find/touch every file in the library on first startup.
I didn't try plugging in the drive and leaving the hanging iTunes running for more than a few minutes, so it's possible that it would have recovered and launched. But after removing the XML file, restoring the library to my pre-7.7 version, I could hear it accessing the directly attached drive (and see it in disk activity in the monitor) for a few minutes (less than I'd left the hanging one trying), before it came up.
Conclusion:
1) 7.7 is definitely trying to touch/see all the files in the library on first launch (proved by the ! when they are missing).
2) Disconnecting/interrupting the touch/see MAY have corrupted something (can't prove it).
3) Since touching 10,000 files takes a LONG time even at 802.11n speeds (let alone b or g), it's worth the hassle to plug the drive in directly for the first time.
4) Patience is a virtue -
Brand New iPad Mini WiFi ISSUES
So I bought my iPad Mini 32gb a week ago and I've been using it eversince with my house's wifi. I recently updated it to iOS 6.1.3 and a couple of days after I started having WiFi issues. So I connect to my wifi and use it as usual, but after 5 minutes of using it the internet stops working eventhough it still shows the 3 bars of internet on the top left corner next to iPad. To fix this I have to turn off my iPad every time. I am trying to see if there is a solution or if I will have to send it to the apple repair center or change it for a new one for 40 bucks. I really need internet on it so please help. ( IT IS URGENT.)
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
• Launch Settings app
• Tap on Wi-Fi
• Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
• In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Hi
I'm having problems with the wifi on my ipad 2, for the ipad to connect to the router i have to place it directly next to my router and it will connect with no problems but trying to connect to the router more then 1 metre away from the router the ipad doesn't find the router at all. This being my first ipad I just thought it was the way they are only for my brother to bring his ipad 1 to my house his ipad not only connects instantly to my router from anywhere in the house but also finds another 5 wifi connections. If I was to use my ipad upstairs in the room directly above the router it will stay connected for about 5 minutes and loses connection and I have to go down stairs and place the ipad2 next to the router for it to connect again where as my brother slept in the bedroom furthest away from the router and found the router and connected straight away and stays connected!
Is there something different in the way the ipad2 has been built or do you think I have a problem with my ipad?
I would appreciate your thoughts and comments.
Thanks

Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

Can't fix fglrx/Xorg black screen issue, no matter what I try!
I've tried everything that I can think of or find online to fix this. Please help.
I'm getting what seems to be an oft-recurring issue where Xorg simply won't start when using the fglrx driver. It boots fine with VESA or Xfree86-ati, but using fglrx I just get a black screen that won't accept any input, although ssh'ing into the box while this is happening still works.
I've been reading forum posts for *days* now trying to get this to work. I've tried every combination of 12.4/12.6 drivers, Xorg 1.11/1.12 and modeset/nomodeset kernel parameters. I definitely do not have any radeon or other DRI modules compiled into my kernel. I have an HD4200, SLiM/Xfce4, and I'm using the proper catalyst-hd234k package. The fglrx module has been compiled for my kernel and added to my initramfs, and it loads at boot. lsmod reveals its presence and does *not* show 'radeon'. I have uninstalled every video driver aside from fglrx and Xfree86-vesa. Output does not seem to be going to HDMI instead. Switching consoles/typing blindly does not work, and I need to hold the power button for 5 seconds to shutdown. I've run aticonfig --initial and tried aticonfig --acpi-services=off, too.
I've tried *all* the different tweaks that I've found to try to make a working xorg.conf, but here's what I'm trying to use now:

My Xorg log seems fantastically uninformative, since it seems to show the fglrx module loading and does not report any errors:

Major opcode of failed request: 135 (GLX)
Minor opcode of failed request: 19 (X_GLXQueryServerString)
Serial number of failed request: 12
Current serial number in output stream: 12
And in a console it tells me that it can't open display(null)... all of which I suspect is expected behaviour when the driver is not actually in use. I just wish something would tell me what's actually *wrong*, here, instead of just expecting me to magically figure out exactly the right configuration that will actually let me use fglrx.
I... I just want to be able to play minecraft. :`(

and http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Configuring
and I'm sure you've done
aticonfig --initial
I had to use https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AT … leshooting, specifically the part about disabling EXAPixmaps to make my card work.
What model is your ATI card? that would help. A LOT of ATI cards were dropped from proprietary support with the Catalyst driver. -
New A03 video driver posted for Venue 11 Pro 7130 - please report any remaining issues here!
We have posted the updated A03 version of the video driver. If you are having video problems on your 713x, please update to this latest driver ASAP.

This driver fixes most known issues. Note that there are still several monitors with known persistence issues (e.g. what the monitor does after a sleep/resume cycle). The plan is to address these in the next driver release.
If you see issues with the A03 driver, please provide information here. Please see this thread for general troubleshooting steps before reporting issues -> http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/mobile-devices/f/4586/t/19580384.aspx?pi239031352=1#20664209
Thanks!i updated the video drive and was really excited when i hooked up my DP to DP and the monitor worked. Soon after though, a bunch of issues arised:
1) When the monitor went to sleep it shut of the tablet as well.
2) My CPU is now running high (50%-60%) and my cursor has a constant blue circle spinning around
3) The fan is constantly running, not high but on. It did not do this prior to the driver update
The Venue is working in the sense that i am running an HDMI to HDMI monitor off the dock and my application seem to run at the same speed.
Tech support downgraded me back to A02 but the problem still persists. We are now going to reimage.
I am not super technical, but i almost feel like the A03 driver changed a setting or two in the system which is causing the issues. -
I left it running over night, it was running perfectly, in the morning the screen was black. i tried to restart it and got no display but i can hear the machine running. so i put away for several months, plug it in, charge the battery, it boots, i have a display, it loads the desktop and freezes. when i try to restart it theres no display. the last time i tried, i started it, i got to the apple screen and nothing. whats the issue here? please help.
Will it boot OK in Safe Mode? See What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? (Mac OS X)
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107392 Takes a while to run, but it usually "fixes" problems.
Safe Boot takes longer than normal startup

My daughter got an ipad so I took her ipod. The problem is both of them have the same user id and password so when I sinc the ipod to itunes, it downloads all of her apps/music that I don't want to the ipod. Is there a way to wipe out everything on the ipod and change the username/password (I guess) so that when I sinc it, it doesnt download her stuff? Also, there are a few songs that I have purchased through iTunes that I would like to keep, can I do this or will I have to re-purchase the music again?
(I think the daughter got he better end of the deal!) I believe if you change the password and user id one of the devices it will stop that from occurring. But I'm not the one to tell you how to do it; someone like "Illaass" (Illaass seems to know how to correct / fix almost anything!) will know how if you don't. Just look for the "cat" icon.

ITunes 7.0.1.8 experiences - Here's what got fixed for me...
After news of the iTunes 7.0.1.8 update broke out today, I downloaded it and have used it for a little while.
I'd thought I'd share my experiences so far, but please take note that I did not do any CD burning/importing tests, nor do I own an iPod to sync content to or a 5.1 set of speakers to play songs with. I have heard that this update dramatically fixes the slow recognition and sync times for iPods and that there is better speaker recognition for surround sound systems, but I can't personally confirm this.
My current audio settings in QuickTime are at 48kHz, 16-bit, QuickTime Music Synthesizer. Safe Mode is disabled. These have been my withstanding settings since iTunes 6. To my knowledge, all sound drivers and video drivers are up to date. Hardware acceleration is at full, and DirectX is also up to date.
Some problems I noticed in iTunes 7.0.0.10, in no order - and whether they've been fixed or not in iTunes 7.0.1.8:
Problem: Cover Flow view was slow to respond and had album art rendering issues. I didn't get the diagonal lines, but it definitely bogged down my system. Most likely a memory leak.
With 7.0.1.8: Partially fixed. CPU usage doesn't skyrocket as much, but the flow animations still stutter and album art rendering still lags. Once the art is loaded into RAM, however, Cover Flow is as smooth as ever and does not max out at 100% CPU for me.
Problem: Download manager was unresponsive. iTunes would crawl when playing a song and downloading something, as menu commands, pausing/unpausing, etc. was delayed by up to a minute. CPU usage at 100%.
With 7.0.1.8: Mostly fixed.The download manager is now noticably speedier, and is responsive to user inputs with pausing downloads, scrubbing songs, etc. However, CPU usage is still at 95%-100% when a download is running.
Problem: Gapless playback caused distortion.
With 7.0.1.8: Fixed. Gapless playback now works correctly and seamlessly, without causing distortion in the first or last few seconds of a song or delaying playback.
Problem: Audio playback became distorted and skipped when running any other applications, such as a web browser.
With 7.0.1.8: Partially Fixed - Your results may vary. Audio no longer messes up horribly anymore -- even when the voume is less than 100% -- which is great. However, small skipping is still apparent when browsing in Firefox or even in the iTunes Store. This happens sporatically, however, as I'm browsing now and there is no studdering, though minutes ago browsing caused some skips. CPU usage spikes to 100% momentarily when this occurs. Nonetheless, it is still a MAJOR improvement from before, and now I believe that skipping exists due to my only having 256MB RAM in this PC. Your results may vary.
Problem: Newly downloaded album art did not actually get embedded into the music file, and iTunes didn't find album artwork for tracks that were in the iTunes store.
With 7.0.1.8: Not fixed. Downloaded album art from iTunes 7 is not embedded into the actual file, and needs to be copy-pasted back in the Artwork tab of the "Get Info" window. One non-related fix, though, is that album art can now be manually added in the album viewer on the bottom left of the window for multiple tracks at once. For downloading artwork (I did not set this as 'automatic' in my iTunes preferences but did it manually), I recommend matching the store listing 100% with track numbers, capitalizations, etc. and making sure the ID3 tags of MP3 files are v2.2 or higher.
Problem: At random times, checkboxes did not actually check or uncheck when clicked on; this was especially true in the Podcast library. Only a manual right-click menu selection would check or uncheck an item.
With 7.0.1.8: Fixed. No more checkboxing issues so far.
Problem: Visualizer size setting in Preferences -> Advanced tab (Small, Medium, Large) did not actually take effect.
With 7.0.1.8: Not fixed. The visualizer still plays in the "large" setting, no matter what the setting is; I believe this is a bug. In addition to this, when in Cover Flow view and changing to the visualizer, Cover Flow leaves an intrusive snapshot on top of the visualizer, which isn't fixed until switching out of the visualizer and changing back to the list or album view.
Problem: Video playback stuttered when viewing on-screen controls, and the controls didn't appear when the mouse was over the video and iTunes was in mini player mode or minimized. Clicking on the video at that point stopped playback and closed the video window.
With 7.0.1.8: Not fixed. While video playback is snappier in iTunes 7 in general, this little oversight hasn't been touched yet. I also believe part of it is because of a lack of RAM on my computer, but would've liked to see more smooth playback like what was found in the last revision of iTunes 6, in addition to the added controls.
Problem: Adding ratings from within the library is a little hit-or-miss; I have to click on a certain edge of the star to select it.
With 7.0.1.8: Not fixed. I have to click pretty firmly on the ratings column in my iTunes library, or just do it manually by right-clicking or doing it in the Get Info window.
I think that covers most of what I personally found in the previous version of iTunes 7. I didn't previously have the importing problem or settings fail to save (sans the visualizer), however. (Feel free to add to this thread with your experiences if you'd like.)
Dell Dimension 2400 Windows XP Intel Celeron 2.59GHz, 256MB RAMUPDATE/EDIT FROM PREVIOUS POST:
Ok. The new 7.0.18 does repair the volume slider audio issue. HOWEVER, Simply installing the new update (at least for me) did **NOT** fix the problem. After posting my previous post, I tried to remove Quicktime and iTunes completely and try reinstalling.
It turns out that when I uninstalled Quicktime from Add/Remove Programs, it didn't remove all the Quicktime files and it was not reinstalling Quicktime afterwards!!
I only noticed when I downloaded the standalone version of Quicktime and tried running it and it said a "newer version" was on my computer, though it did not show up on my Add/Remove Programs file listing.
So I looked in the usual places and found that I had a Quicktime folder remaining in the Program Files folder and one in the C:\Windows\system32 folder. I also had to manually remove the following files from the C:\Windows\system32 folder:
Quicktime.qts, QuickTimeMusicalInstruments.qtx, the Quicktime.Resources folder, QuicktimeVR.qtx and the QuickTimeVR.Resources folder.
The main problem is that iTunes didn't let me know there was an issue with the QuickTime installation. It just wouldn't run iTunes. There should have been a notification.
Anyway, after all this, I reinstalled iTunes fresh and checked the volume slider and LO' And Behold! The volume slider issue was repaired.
However, there is a LOT of skipping occurring that never happened before. Not sure what's up with that. CPU usage stays low and then I get a few skips per minute...UNACCEPTABLE!!! That didn't happen before and that issue will still need to be fixed. Until then, back to WinAmp. Thx a LOT Apple...you *#^@ing hosers!
