FlashPlayer slowly nailing the coffin for OS 9
Just thought I'd note that I encountered a couple of more web sites last week that have upgraded their software so that it will only function with FlashPlayer 8 or higher. As you all know, the latest version of FlashPlayer that will load into OS 9 is version 7. This has further restricted the use of OS 9 for web surfing and I'm certainly PO'd about it.
End of RANT!
Hi,
Although the IMAC wasn't made for OSX some people install it.
the most important first is to upgrade the firmware which is 4.1.9 . the best: download www.mactracker.ca and then check the version of your machine, open the system profiler in the apple menu in OS9 to get all the details of your mac. Once you have upgraded the firmware you should be able to install X. here again it's a thing I've done and gave me lot of troubles.. You'll have to initialize the drive by starting from the X CD pressing the "c" key. Check all the boxes in the options menu for zero data to make sure your HD will be empty and free for your new install, then install X. (i forgot to mention to back up your datas if you have files to keep)
If you have like me the first X version 10.0 and 10.1 it normally uses OS9 extensions so you might have to install them back... but normally X got everything as I had double software when I had OS9(...) Anyway when you have installed X you will have internet explorer 5.1.7 the last version or the one before. the problem might still occur since Explorer is not updated anymore and as in OS 9 it doesn't accept the last Flash version you just have to try to install those new plugins and tell us if it still works with Explorer in X!
Then that's all, you will be able to use your MAC as internet base station since the IMAC was its purpose and it helped me a lot on that one. Note that with a 10GB you won't be able to download large files but if you just use it to watch the internet that will be alright. It 's best to upgrade the memory even though X is supposed to work in a certain way...
Going for a G4 won't change the internet experience cos it depends on your connection and not on the processor. Then it's the best way to recycle your Imac! that's what i wanted to do with mine but it died...
Let us know how it went;
regards

Apple final nail in the coffin for professional editing
Continually discontinuing programs (end of FCP, DVD studion pro, Livetype etc) , ommting peripherals on new machines.. (NO FIREWIRE, NO DVD DRIVE on new imacs) , not selling the Mac pro anymore..and replacing them with expensive 'upgrades' (thunderbolt) making life very hard & expensive for those who have bought previous drives/output devices/software that works well.
I recently shelled out just shy of £2k on a new Imac.. doowh why did i do that.. No dvd drive so I cannot load my programs, have to buy one, Thunderbolt is good in say 5 years but not yet, at least give me 1 Firewire port please! Then I realise that loads of my programs will not run, as they are PowerPC programs, they are not supporting Rossetta.. so I am buggered..
Luckliy I have Avid anyway... at least there software is backward compatible and they dont conn you into buying new kit and then a few years later it wont load on your expensive new shiny computer unbelievably money grabbing in my book..

If the cost to upgrade your software is really an issue, one would have to question your self-designation as a professional.
But in any event, even as a hobbyiest, you can run your PowerPC software in Mountain Lion by installing Snow Leopard Server into Parallels 8:

Apple is now selling Snow Leopard Server for $19.99 + sales tax & shipping costs at 1.800.MYAPPLE (1.800.692.7753) - Apple Part Number: MC588Z/A (telephone orders only). -
My iPhone 4 with cash card is slowly emptying the balance of the card. Only Wi-Fi is normally ON, most other things OFF. Are the Apps responsible for this, or is something wrong with the phone itself? How can I stop the "thief"?
I have this exact same problem. One solution is having your friends change their fake aliases on Facebook to their real bloody names, but I realise this is no easy fix.

I already have flashplayer on my mac. I have been using online video tutorials for learning, but suddenly all my YouTube vodeos say "plug-in blocked". I follow the instructions for installing or updating, but nothing has helped. I have looked everywhere in Safari help with no success. How can I restore this plug-in, PLEASE?

I'm having some difficulty with transferring images from a UDP Client to a UDP Server. The issue is receiving the bytes necessary to update an original image sent from the Client to the Server and updating the Servers List(Of Byte) with the
new bytes replacing bytes in that list. This is a simplex connection where the Sever receives and the Client sends to utilize the least amount of bandwidth for a "Remote Desktop" style application where the Server side needs image updates of whatever
occurs on the Client desktop.
So far I can tranfer images with no issue. The images can be be any image type (.Bmp, .Gif, .JPeg, .Png, etc). I was working with sending .JPeg's as they appear to be the smallest size image when a Bitmap is saved to a memory stream as type
.JPeg. And then I am using GZip to compress that byte array again so it is much smaller. However on a loopback on my NIC the speed for sending a full size screen capture is not very fast as the Server updates fairly slowly unless the Clients screen capture
Bitmap is reduced in size to about 1/3'd of the original size. Then about 12000 bytes or less are sent for each update.
Due to .JPeg compression I suppose there is no way to get the difference in bytes between two .JPegs and only send those when something occurs on the desktop that alters the desktop screen capture image. Therefore I went to using .Bmp's as each
.Bmp contains the same number of bytes in its array regardless of the image alterations on the desktop. So I suppose the difference in bytes from a second screen capture and an inital screen capture are what is different in the second image from the initial
image.
What I have done so far is save an initial Bitmap of a screen capture using a memory stream and saving as type .Bmp which takes less than 93 milliseconds for 4196406 bytes. Compressing that takes less than 118 milliseconds to 197325 bytes for
the current windows on the desktop. When that is done PictureBox1 is updated from nothing to the captured image as the PictureBox's background image with image layout zoom and the PictureBox sized at 1/2 my screens width and 1/2 my screens height.
Then I save a new Bitmap the same way which now contains different image information as the PictureBox is now displaying an image so its back color is no longer displayed (solid color Aqua) and the cursor has moved to a different location. The
second Bitmap is also 4196406 in bytes and compressed it was 315473 bytes in size.
I also just found code from this link Converting a Bitmap to a Byte Array (and Byte Array to Bitmap) which gets a byte array
directly from a Bitmap and the size of that is 3148800 for whatever is full screen captured on my laptop. So I should be able to work with smaller byte arrays at some point.
The issue I'm having is that once the Client sends an image of the desktop to the Server I only want to update the server with any differences occuring on the Clients desktop. So what I have done is compare the first screen captures bytes (stored
in a List(Of Byte)) to the second screen captures bytes (stored in a List(Of Byte)) by using a For/Next for 0 to 4196405 where if a byte in the first screen captures List is not equal to a byte in the second screen captures List I add the index and byte of
the second screen captures list to a Dictionary(Of Integer, Byte). The Dictionary then only contains the indexes and bytes that are different between the first screen capture and second screen capture. This takes about 125 milliseconds which I think is pretty
fast for 4196406 byte comparison using a For/Next and adding all the different bytes and indexes for each byte to a Dictionary.
The difference in Bytes between the inital screen capture and the second screen capture is 242587 as an example which changes of course. For that amount of bytes the Dictionary contains 242587 integers as indexes and 242587 bytes as different
bytes totaling 485174 bytes for both arrays (keys, values). Compressed the indexes go from 242587 to 43489 bytes and the values go from 242587 to 34982 bytes. Which means I will have to send 78, 481 bytes from the Client to the Server to update the display
on the server. Quite smaller than the original 4196406 bytes of the second Bitmap saved to type .Bmp or the compressed size of that array which was 315473 bytes. Plus a few bytes I add as overhead so the server knows when an image array ends and how many packets
were sent for the array so it can discard complete arrays if necessary since UDP is lossfull although probably not so much in current networks like it may originally have been when the internet started.
In reality the data from the Client to the Server will mostly be the cursor as it moves and updating the Server image with only a few hundred bytes I would imagine at a time. Or when the cursor selects a Button for example and the Buttons
color changes causing those differences in the original screen capture.
But the problem is if I send the Dictionaries Indexes and Bytes to the Server then I need to update the original Bitmap List(Of Byte) on the server by removing the Bytes in the received informations Index locations array from the Servers Bitmap
List(Of Byte) and replacing those Bytes with the Bytes in the received informations Byte array. This takes so long using a For/Next for however many indexes are in the received informations Index array to update the Bitmap List(Of Byte) on the server using
"Bmp1Bytes.RemoveAt(Index As Integer)" followed by "Bmp1Bytes.Insert(Index As Integer, Item As Byte)" in the For/Next.
I've tried various For/Next statements including using a new List(Of Byte) with If statements so If the the integer for the For/Next ='s the Key in a Dictionary(Of Integer, Byte) using a Counter to provide the Dictionaries Key value then
the Dictionaries byte value will be added to the List(Of Byte) and the counter will increas by one Else the List(Of Byte) adds the original "Bmp1Bytes" byte at that index to the new List(Of Byte). This takes forever also.
I also tried the same For/Next adding to a new Dictionary(Of Integer, Byte) but that takes forever too.
I think I could use RemoveRange and AddRange to speed things up. But I don't know how to retrieve a contiguous range of indexes in the received indexes that need to be updated in the servers "Bmp1Bytes" List(Of Byte) from the received
array of indexes and bytes which are in a Dictionary(Of Integer, Byte). But I believe this would even be slower than some realistic method for replacing all Bytes in a List(Of Byte) when I have the indexes that need to be replaced and the bytes to replace
them with.
Even if I just used AddRange on a new List(Of Byte) to add ranges of bytes from the original "Bmp1Bytes" and the changes from the Dictionary(Of Integer, Byte) I think this would be rather slow. Although I don't know how to do that
by getting contiguous ranges of indexes from the Dictionaries keys.
So I was wondering if there is some method perhaps using Linq or IEnumerable which I've been unable to figure anything out which could do this.
I do have some copy and pasted code which I don't understand how it works that I am using which I would guess could be altered for doing something like this but I can't find information that provides how the code works. Or even if I did
maybe I can't understand it. Like the code below which is extremely fast.
Dim strArray() As String = Array.ConvertAll(Of Integer, String)(BmpComparisonDict.Keys.ToArray, Function(x) x.ToString())
La vida locaMonkeyboy,
That was quite a bit to read, but still a bit unclear. Could you put a specific list of goals/questions, asked in the smallest possible form?
It seems like either you're making a program that monitors activity on your computer, or you're writing some kind of remote pc app.
When you do get your bytes from using lockbits, keep in mind all the files header info would be lost. I think retaining the header info is worth the extra bytes.
The other, thing: I'm not sure if you're taking 32bpp screen shots, but also keep in mind that the "whole desktop" is the final destination for blended graphics, if that makes sense. What I mean is that there is no need to capture an "alpha"
channel for a desktop screenshot, as alpha would always be 255, this could save you 1 byte per pixel captured... Theres nothing "behind" the desktop, therefore no alpha, and every window shown above the desktop is already blended. I suggest using
24Bpp for a full screen capture.
Your X,Y information for the mouse could be stored as UINT16, this would save you a measly 2 bytes per location update/save.
When you update your byte arrays, maybe you can turn the array into a stream and write to whatever index, however many bytes, that should prevent a "Shift" of bytes, and instead overwrite any bytes that "get in the way".
ex
Dim example As String = "This is an example."
Dim insertString As String = "was"
Dim insertBytes As Byte() = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(insertString)
Dim bytes As Byte() = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(example)
Dim modifiedBytes As Byte() = {}
Using ms As New System.IO.MemoryStream(bytes)
ms.Position = 5
ms.Write(insertBytes, 0, 3)
modifiedBytes = ms.ToArray
End Using
Dim newString As String = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString(modifiedBytes)
'Notice how below there isn't the word "is" anymore, and that there isn't a
'space.
'This demonstrates that you overwrite existing data, versus shifting everything to
'the right.
'Returns: This wasan example.

Well it's too much to read. I was really tired when I wrote it. Even the below is too much to read but perhaps gets the point across of what I would like to do which I think
Joel Engineer may have answered but I'm not sure. As I'm still too tired to understand that yet and research what he said in order to figure it out yet.
But maybe the code below can provide the concept of the operation with the comments in it. But seeing as how I'm still tired it may be confused.

What are the settings for Primere Elements 9 if I've filmed with a Canon Powershot sx50 HS?
I just got this camera and I want the best quality possible. Unfortunately, it's hard for me to fully know if the settings I try create that. I get a fuzz or noise on objects like if I'm wearing a black jacket it's like static. When I put the video on my phone which is an Android Galaxy s4 it converts it into mp4 format and I get much more clear results than on my computer which perplexes me. I did a lot of trial and error with my previous camera (JVC Full HD Everio) which I got the same results. My newer Canon should be leagues ahead of the JVC, but I really can't tell as of yet. If anyone could help that would be awsome. I have examples of my trials and errors from my Youtube videos which you can see I felt I was slowly making progress with the JVC Oppositeofhood - YouTube
Opposite
Then I saw your latest post
Wait, I think I just found it. I pressed record on different settings to take pictures with like portrait to see if it would make a difference and when I uploaded them to my computer I found where it shows the BIt rate and it varied. They run at 23 frames per second 1920 x 1080 MOV video files and all the Bit rates are like 36,356 35,414 ,36,521
If your camera is recording with a variable bitrate, the Bitrate variations from file to file should not be contributing to the issue. But it does raise the issue related to whether or
not we are setting the appropriate bitrate level in the export settings. What are the units for 36,356, 35,414, and 36,517 -

Computer
QuickTime
with Presets = NTSC DV 16:9 - that is going to be customized to 1080p24 (H.264.mov) under the Advanced Button/Video Tab of that preset
The essential settings under the Advanced Button/Video Tab
Video Codec = H.264
Frame Width = 1920
Frame Height = 1080
Frame Rate = 23.976
Field Type = Progressive

Now here is where we are going to experiment....
Bitrate
Check Mark next to Limit Data Rate to and type in 36000 before kbps
note the file size of the export as well as the quality of the playback.
Repeat the whole process but in export
Remove the check mark next to Limit Data Rate. The Bitrate field will be disabled.
note the file size of the export as well as the quality of the playback.
We will be watching for your results.
Thanks.

Trying to understand the views for monitoring streams
Hi,
All of the columns with a measurement of elapsed_time in the following views have NUMBER as the datatype. Can someone help with me with what the actual measurement is for these field as it's definatley no seconds or milliseconds:
v$streams_capture;
v$streams_apply_reader;
v$streams_apply_coordinator;
v$streams_apply_server;
dba_queue_schedules;
When looking at V$streams_capture, column elapsed_lcr_time it is slowly incrementing when I have only replicated one insert. Why is this?
Many thanks in advance,
WarrenThe views are documented in the Oracle9i release 2 REFERENCE manual. Here is the URL: http://st-doc.us.oracle.com/9.0/9202/server.920/a96536/ch3213.htm
As an example, here is the definition for ELAPSED_LCR_TIME from the manual:
ELAPSED_LCR_TIME NUMBER
Elapsed time (in hundreths of a second) creating logical change records (LCRs) since the capture process was last started -
Ah, the new fora. Still getting used to them. Here are some reflections on the Pros & Cons, as I see them with IE7:
Pros:
The formatting is nice, as is the ability to attach files.
Being able to add a link quickly, to open in a second browser window is nice.
The indentation of replies, to other than the OP.
Cons:
Sometimes really slow, but could just be server overload, or maintenance.
The slight color differentiation between read, (updated) and unread could be much better.
The loss of the "red flags," is greatly missed.
The "New" banner is greatly missed.
The expansion of all replies, when opening an older thread is bothersome.
Learning to NOT use Back, once I’ve posted, is coming along slowly.
When a forum has multiple pages and you are past #1, going back to "Discussion" always takes me back to page #1. There has got to be some navigational trick that will get me back to page #X, regardless of whether I’ve posted, or am just reading.
The loss of many stickies, especially some of the FAQ’s and instruction on posting good questions with proper info.
Just some personal observations, with more in the works, as I explore.
HuntJerryK,
Yes, we are all in similar boats, regarding learning to live with the new fora. You guys just have the extra tasks of doing any modifications.
As to the "Previous/Next Page" issue. I do not think I was clear on my "problem." That, or maybe I misunderstood your reply.
To clarify *my* problem:
Say that there are multiple pages on a particular forum. I am now reading articles on Page 2. I read the article, and hit Back (browser), or mouse button (left side for me), to get back to the discussions. I always get Page 1, and have to now hit the "2," or "Next" to get to Page 2 to move onto the next article. In all other fora, that I am familiar with, if one is on Page 2 (in my example) of the forum article list, and they read an article on that page, when they choose Back (however they choose it), they are taken to the article list page, where they were, not to Page 1, having to then navigate back to Page 2, or whatever. It is the seeming inability to get back to the article list page, that there were just on, without having to navigate to it, always from Page 1. It's the same if using the "Discussions" link from either location - goes back to Page 1 regardless of where one was in the page numbering scheme.
It's like having a sub-Menu in Encore, where you make scene selections and never being returned to that previous Menu - only back to the Main Menu and having to navigate back to the sub-Menu every time. It's like the End Action (the Back on the browser) defaults to the "Main Menu," and never to "Previous Menu."
Once one gets to about Page 5, they not only have to navigate back to Page 5, but also remember that they were on Page 5.
I hope that it's just OE on my part and there is really an easy way to go about reading all of the articles on Page 2 (or whatever) and not having to re-do the navigation after every article.
Thanks and good luck to you fella's.
Hunt

34Hello ,
Also we need a speedtest just to have a look and make sure everything's okay? Use this link http://bit.ly/uViAXN and post all the required info Throughput, IP Profile etc..). If that one doesn't work then try this work around link http://bit.ly/sYcqhk .
Can you also run a test at http://www.pingtest.net and also do websites load slowly?
Can you also confirm if you're connected at the master socket or an extension? And what your type your master socket is according to this picture
Are you connected Wirelessly or through a cable?

I have a late 2006 iMac that has just started giving me a message to reboot after a black screen comes down slowly from the top top of the screen to the bottom. I reloaded software and restored from Time Machine, but it keeps happening, now several tomes a day. Any insight as to the issue or a proposed solution?
Unplug any peripherals you have except your keyboard, reboot, and check activity monitor for apps. Keep running apps to a minimum to find the App causing the issue.

If that's what you're using and it actually works, albeit slowly, I'd suggest taking The hatter's advice and go with the 6 core Mac Pro with 24GB of RAM and the 5870 video card. The RAM could come from here: http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Mac-Pro-Memory#1333-memory -

The fix for the A12E1 Error code!!
After weeks of talking to people at Adobe and doing every single fix they told me and having complete failure every single time I finally got it nailed thanks to the 6-7th guy I talked to!
Here is the fix for A12E1....
On your computer you will create a NEW USER ACCOUNT
Be sure to give it ADMINISTRATOR access
Go to Adobe.com and download CRETIVE CLOUD, it will install the CC as well as the ADOBE APPLICATION MANAGER
When the install is complete and you've downloaded all of the programs you want SWITCH BACK to your old USER ACCOUNT and the programs will all be in there ready to roll.
I never thought I would be done with this giant pain but it really does work
Hit me up on Twitter and let me know how it goes for you. @Bruce_Bishop
EnjoyUninstall the application, reinstall it. Also download the update manually from the Adobe site. Without knowing anything about your system, it doesn't get any more specific than that. And please ask such questions in the product specific forum next time.
