Flickering green dots... What's the final answer?

Hi, I jgot in my 30" monitor 2 weeks ago, but ..waited to find on ebay an AGP video card. Spent far more than I should have to get it, and now have flickering green dots everywhere!
The screen is perfect when directly connected to the monitor. When I use a dual link DVI extension I get them. I've changed out the extension and still get them.
I tried all the tricks I could find... blowing out the connectors, taking off of sleep mode, changing number of recent items (I'm not sure what this refers to) from 0 to 10, going into and out of sleep mode, plugging and unplugging, changing resolution and display from 256 - 1000's and millions.....etc.
All in all, something fixed it once! Then they came back.
Frustrating. So... Is there a real answer?
I'd include a photo, but I'm not sure how to add this as an attachment?
I've put a link to my .mac account here:

Thanks in advance!

OK, I think I solved the problem!
The extension I needed was a basic female - female Dual link DVI
Since I needed a male - female, the store sold me a gender converter. I have since bought a dedicated M/F dual link and it's working. I believe that even though I changed out the gender converter twice, it was just not up to carrying the bandwith needed for this type of signal.
The problem is now solved and Altex took back the extension and converter, no questions asked!
I bought the cable through a local mac dealer.
Good luck to all!

What is the final answer

I have lots of things on this site. So what is the final verdict. I have version 4.8.0.31. Do I need to upgrade in order for the music store to work? And if I do, will I lose any of my songs?

You have to be at version 4.9 or later to use the music store. So if you want to use it, update your iTunes software. Just be sure you back up your music and playlists(which you should be doing anyways).

All my puchased TV Shows Play with small green dots all over the screen!!

Hi Everyone,
After installing the latest version on Itunes from System Update all my videos play covered with little green dots... Whats up with that??? Also I usually down load two epesodes of LOST before watching because one just isn't enough. Well aside from having little green dots all over the screen one of my Lost episode wont play at all... "Par Avion". It shows up in my Lost folder under TV SHows but it doesn't show up in my Purchased items. When I click on it it wont open either... However the lastest LOST, "The Man From Tallahassee" shows up and will play?? Itunes Store says I have all my down loads but I have not seen and can not open episode "Par Avion"..... Damm So this is a two part problem. Little green dots and the episode that wont open... HELP!@!!!

only way I found to fix it it is selecting each episode 1 at a time in order and syncing after each one.
Season 1 episode 1
sync
Season 1 episode 2
sync
etc.
what a pain
Edit. Actually seams to work if you select each individual episode in the order you want sync'd and then sync.
Syncing a whole season still results in a jumble

How to make OSX boot disk using a USB thumb drive? The final answer?

Well guys I am getting really conflicting information about possibility to use USB thumb drive for boot up drive for OSX! Some people say yes, some say no, some - not sure.
Here is the question formulated as straight as possible:
A Mac user wants to create OSX 10.6 boot-up disk on a USB thumb drive, so it can be used to start the Mac instead of using manufacturer’s CD. Also, (thumb drive’s size permitting) the Mac user must be able to install software on it, as it is done on the internal HD.
The computer is MacBookPro , Intel based , OSX 10.6
The USB thumb drive is 16 Gb brand new .
So,
what the EXACT steps will be, to properly Mac format the thumb drive with OSX disk utility and then install on it the OSX 10.6 from the manufacturer's grey CD that comes with the Mac?
Could someone, who has practical experience and is absolutely sure about the exact steps provide the final answer, please?
Thanks in advance to old hands & pro Mac Users willing to clarify this topic !

Hi
The instructions to make a bootable USB are [here|http://macs.about.com/od/diyguidesprojects/ss/usbflash.htm]
I have made a bootable USB following the above instruction and also had enough space to install a few utilities. It works fine for me.
I usually like to check disk health of my MBpro intel via disk utilities off the USB after booting from it. Not that this is a recommended way or anything, just that I like to do it that way.

What's the definitive answer ?

I have a question which I'm sure has been asked but I cant seem to find it. I have 12" PB G4, 1.5GHz. I have order iLife 08 but in reading the discussion boards I'm not sure it will work. Some say it will ,other say there is a work around for imovie. others say return
So, here's the questions:
Will imovie be the only issue?
If so, Can I still use imovie 06?
Should I just return it ?
What's the definitive answer ?
Thanks

Sounds like you've seen a few posts on this, but I'll confirm what I know, which does not include a work around for iMovie'08:
I installed iLife'08 and iWork'08 on three machines last night.
iMovie'08 would not even try to install on our G-4, 1.25gHz, the line item and check box were always grayed out. iLife'08 did not bother my existing iMovie'04, or '05, and installed the other components fine.
The G-5 and Intel machines both loaded everything fine.

How many times can Windows 7 be syspreped, what is the official Answer?

Hey everyone, can somebody out there give me the straight answer on this? What is the official number windows 7 can be syspreped? I am looking to build my reference images, but every time I do this I have to 150+ updates each time. Can
I get way with just updating the reference image every time? I have heard there is a Max number of times you can do this before you have to rebuild.
We are running WIndows 7 Enterprise with KMS.
Also will this apply to 8.1?
Thanks

Hi,
Sysprep limitations are due to the windows activation process.
There is no limit to the number of times that the Sysprep command can run on a computer. However, the clock for Windows Product Activation begins its countdown the first time Windows starts. You can use the sysprep /generalize command to reset Windows Product
Activation a maximum of three times. After the third time that you run the sysprep /generalize command, the clock can no longer be reset.
Assuming you are using a KMS: We recommend that KMS clients use the sysprep /generalize command where the value of the SkipRearm setting is equal to 1. After capturing this image, use the sysprep /generalize command, where the value of the SkipRearm setting
is equal to 0.

What are the FINAL CUT STUDIO capture presets using a "Blackmagic Intensity Pro HDMI PCI Express Capture Card"

A S-VHS cable and a/v cables are connected to the breakout box.
What are the presets:
1) Sequence Preset?
2) Capture Preset?
3) Device Control Preset?
thanks

1) Sequence Preset?
2) Capture Preset?
3) Device Control Preset?
Is this realted to your other question? Don't post more than once, please. GEt it right the first time and then wait. Patiently.
1. Your sequence rpeset will be determined by the production's output taarget, it has nothing to do with the Balckmagic capture unless you alreday know what that will be. And you do, in fact, because VHS only comes in one way. When you bring your fist captured clip into a sequence, FCP7 will aks if you want to confrom the sequence to the clip's settings. Say yes. Done.
2. Your capture is going to be regular ol' DV. There's no reason to try to use any other advanced codec for VHS. But you probalby hsould have a time base corrector or frame sync in the loop to help correct and stabilize ancient tapes. Your preset if NTSV DV
3. There is not control for a VHJS deck. So une unctrolled device.

What is the correct answer is this question is sql ?

hi .. please i need correct answer in this question ..
View the Exhibit and examine the structure of the PRODUCTS table.
Using the PRODUCTS table, you issue the following query to generate the names, current list price, and
discounted list price for all those products whose list price falls below $10 after a discount of 25% is applied
on it.
SQL>SELECT prod_name, prod_list_price,
prod_list_price - (prod_list_price * .25) "DISCOUNTED_PRICE"
FROM products
WHERE discounted_price < 10;
The query generates an error.
What is the reason for the error?
A-The parenthesis should be added to enclose the entire expression.
B-The double quotation marks should be removed from the column alias.
C-The column alias should be replaced with the expression in the WHERE clause.
D-The column alias should be put in uppercase and enclosed with in double quotation marks in the WHERE clause.

What is the final say on Bluetooth functionality

Here are my experiences and problems:
My iPhone (I have a 3GS) pairs just fine with my 220Plantronics headset.
My iPhone and PC can be paired/recognized, but the phone fails to maintain a connection.
What happens is...
The first iPhone I tried would not even establish this nanosecond-long connection. When I talked to an APPLE customer service rep about my connection issues (and issues with missed calls), THEY were the ones to tell me my phone seemed to have a hardware problem, and they sent me a brand new replacement phone. With the 2nd phone, my computer will give me an error message telling me that my phone cannot be connected for some reason, YET at the very same second I will get a popup notification saying "Bluetooth Local Area Network Connected". My phone says "Not connected", and when I open the window for Bluetooth connections, everything is zeros and it's not actually connected.
What perplexes me is what is the REAL story behind the Bluetooth problems? I have done my share of reading and I have read lots of information saying that the current phone (hardware or software possibly) & carrier (AT&T) limitations are preventing Bluetooth connection to anything other than a compatible headset. I had actually accepted this, (though very aggravated b/c this was one of the two big reasons for getting this phone) UNTIL I had other issues with my phone and I brought up the Bluetooth dissatisfaction and the tech guy TOLD ME THAT MY BLUETOOTH OUGHT TO WORK FOR FILE SHARING!
So which is it??? Did we all get a batch of "lemons" for Bluetooth that don't work properly, or is it an Operating Sys bug, or something else???
I just don't understand why a person from Apple would conclude something was defective with my phone when it seems much more likely that the Bluetooth is just designed to be "crippled" like everyone says?

Bluetooth is not crippled. There are 25+ different bluetooth protocols and not every device has every protocol possible.
The iPhone has bluetooth protocols for handsfree, headsets, A2DP and tethering when tethering is activated. It does not have the protocols for file sharing or pairing with a PC.

What is the Final Cut Studio Universal Crossgrade?

I got an e-mail with an offer to purchase a "Universal Crossgrade" to Final Cut Studio for $49, but I'm not clear about what this is.
I already own FC Studio. Does "Universal" mean that all of the components are now in a single app so there's no more "round tripping" between apps?
Does "Universal" refer to the fact that this is compatible with both Power Mac and Intel based machines?
I'm confused about about what's new in this latest version.
G5 dual 2.5 Mac OS X (10.3.5)

Mike,
The order form (http://images.apple.com/universal/crossgrade/pdf/Crossgrade.pdf) makes it look like you have to send in all 4 DVDs (Final Cut Studio, Motion 2, DVD Studio Pro and Soundtrack Pro).
This is the part that makes me a little squeamish. I haven't had any problems that require a re-install lately, but IF I DO before my new disks get here, I'm stuck. Also, what happens if I get the new version and there's a bug or something else about it that I don't like? Once again, I'm stuck.
Maybe I'm just being paranoid.

What is the final speed ?

Doies anyone know what BT repard as a fair final speed for a circuit that was said to be capable of 33.3MBps ?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Basically your profile is your maximum download speed possible.
Your actual max throughput download speed might be a couple of Mb lower,
this should match or be higher than what you were quoted from BT.
It's slower due to the length of wire connecting you to the fibre cabinet.
Run the test at www.speedtester.bt.com to get your current profile.
You can copy and paste the text if you want to save it, or take a screenshot.
