From actiontec to express - success !!!

I'm not going to lie, it was painful to spend another $100 on top of the nearly $1000 I already spent between the ipad, acessories and apps. After about 150 hours with Wireshark and the debug console in Xcode....... Not to mention every possible change on the router, I decided to share out the wifi from my MacBook and my problems went away. The FIOS router had some hatred for the ipads DHCP implementation and I think the power level change that the iPod does about 1 min after it's receives an IP address. The iPad seems to lowers it's power output to the wifi card as a part of it's power conservation routine after it receives an ip address. Perhaps the RSSI (receive signal strength indicator) value is expected to stay stable for a longer amount of time on some routers.
So i decided since the N network worked well when provided by the MacBook that I'd take a chance with an airport express. It's been working great for 3 full days of solid use. I think if I ever see the password box again the iPad will get tossed into the pool. Mostly kidding, I love it much more now.

Hey Rob,
I did the same thing about 6mos ago and I found that express is a better choice to start out with. Its about half the price of Pro and does almost all of the same things. And if you decide you really like the software its only another 250 to upgrade. So it makes since to get express first and try it out.
Hope this helps

  • Changing databases from MS SQL Express to MySQL in a  Report at runtime

    Hi all,
    I have an issue in changing databases from MS SQL Express to MYSQL or vice versa in a Report at runtime.
    Here is what I do:
    I create a very simple report with the Crystal Report Designer 2008 V 12.3.0.601.
    This report uses a stored procedure to retrieve it's data. I connect to the Database with JDBC.
    I have two Databases with similar schema and procedures: MS SQL Express an MySQL.
    When I create the report with MSSQL all parameters have the '@' character, as they are named. ok.
    I deploy this report in a JSP application with the crystaldecisions SDK an show it in html viewer format.
    The connection to the MSSQL DB gets established by my JSP and the CRJavaHelper.
    I pass the parameters through my URL to the JSP and finally to the CRJavaHelper (addDiscreteParameterValue)
    and everything works fine.
    The challenge starts, when I try to change the Datasource of this report to MySQL at runtime (which is a requirement in my project).
    I successfully can establish the DBConnection, but my stored procedure just doesn't get called!
    The report just displays totally empty, no Exceptions etc. are thrown. In the DB logfile I see the effort to find my procedure
    and that's all. The Statements called by the SDK finds the correct Procedure, but there's no call to the procedure.
    Of course I know, that MS SQL names it's procedures slightly different (';1' at the end), but even when I rename the table Alias to the correct name in CRHelperJava, I get no call to the procedure in MySQL. I also renamed the parameter-fields in changeDataSource(..) by casting the table to IProcedure and working on its methods. Still no success.
    What am I missing to do or what do I do wrong?
    Any suggestions or even solutions?
    Best Regards,
    Tom

  • How to call a SQL function from an XSL expression

    Hi
    In R12, in Payroll Deposit adivce/Check writer, We need to sort the earnings tag <AC_Earnings> in to two different categories as regular and other earnings. In the DB and form level of element defintiion we have a DFF which differentiates between the two kinds of earnings. But the seeded XML that is gerneated by the check writer does not have this field.
    The seeded template displays all the earnings in one column. How can we achieve this in the template without modifying the seeded XML.
    The one approach i have is to write a function and based on the return value sort the data. For this I need to know :
    1) How to call a SQL function from an XSL expression that is allowed in BI template.
    If anyone ahs faced similar requirements please share your approach.
    Thanks

  • Is it possible to make an MPEG-2 from Final Cut Express ?

    I need to make an MPEG-2 file, exported from Final Cut Express 4. But I don't see an option for it.

    Which type of MPEG-2 file?
    There are three common types, each with their own variants:
    Elementary Stream (.m2v) - contains video only; no audio.  Commonly used by DVD authoring applications prior to multiplexing (muxing) with a separate audio file.
    Transport Stream (.mts or .m2t) - muxed video and audio.  Commonly used for tranferring broadcast quality video over a network.
    Program Stream (.mpg or .mpeg) - muxed audio and video.  Commonly used for automated server based playback.
    At one time QuickTime Pro included an MPEG-2 encoder, but I believe Apple removed that option with the introduction of Compressor.  Other apps for encoding include: Sorenson Squeeze, Cleaner and Episode ... to name a few.

  • Transferring From Final Cut Express to Pro

    Hey! I am looking to upgrade from Final Cut Express to Final Cut Pro. I have a present project in Express and plan to finish it shortly. However, can I take this file from Express and finish editing it in Final Cut Pro?
    Thank you!

    It has been reported that FCE projects will open in FCP. It does not work in the reverse direction, once the project is in FCP, FCE will not open it.

  • Upgrade from Final Cut Express to Pro 5.0

    I think I made a stupid mistake. I purchased Final Cut Pro 5.0 upgrade thinking I could upgrade from Final Cut Express. But when I am asked to enter the previous versions serial number, it does not accept it. Is there any way to do this or am I going to have to buy the full version of Final Cut Pro?
    Also, I have a G4 Powerbook with the following specs. Is it going to run the program if I do finally get it installed?
    CPU Speed: 867 MHz
    L2 Cache (per CPU): 256 KB
    Memory: 640 MB
    Bus Speed: 133 MHz
    NVIDIA GeForce4 MX

    To upgrade from FCE you need the Final Cut Pro 5 Upgrade from Final Cut Express. I just upgraded FCE and that worked fine for me.
    Hope this helps answer your question...

  • Importing file from final cut express to final cut pro

    Hello, I am taking a video I have been working on from final cut express and opening it into final cut pro on another machine. It brings footage over but completely incorrect. I am editing a music video and its basically taking the files and putting them out of sequence etc. When I first open up final cut pro it will say do you want to update this video to the new version which I expected to which I respond yes but its jacked up after that. Any suggestions?

    Generally, I just drag the DV file from the finder to the iDVD menu window. Make sure you don't drag it to any Drop Zones, I think that might be your problem with the DV file showing up as the background. If you have default settings in iDVD, this drag and drop should then create submenus based on your chapter markers.
    I'm not sure if you have any issues with the Chapters not showing up in QT. If you're expecting them to show up, then make sure that when you do the Export to QT that the option to include Chapter Markers is set. Upon conversion, you should see the Chapters within QT as well as when imported into iDVD.
    Hope this helps!

  • Best export method of footage from Final Cut Express to DVD?

    I'm exporting footage from Final Cut Express using Quicktime Player and then burning the footage to DVD using iDVD.
    The end result on DVD has very jagged interlacing (or noise) on objects in motion which aren't present when viewing the footage on FC. I don't think the problem is with iDVD (I assume I'm burning a pristine copy of an already reduced-quality clip).
    Are there any changes I can make to the system preferences either on FC or Quicktime Player to reduce or prevent loss of digital information, or can anyone suggest better methods of export from Final Cut Express to DVD?

    Hello
    I'm not sure if this is relevant:
    I've been using the Quicktime Conversion settings;
    http://www.locationstudio.net/Settings.jpg
    29.97 Frame Rate
    Highest Quality
    NTSC/PRO
    I was under the impression that this was usually best - haven't had any problems with iDVD

  • Exporting HD Video From Final Cut Express HD

    When attempting to export HD video from Final Cut Express using "uncompressed" setting, I notice that the output quality seems to be limited to "medium." If no compression is used, wouldn't that imply that the video quality should equal original footage?

    All FCE Timelines are using the AIC (Apple Intermediate Codec) for HD stuff if you selected the correct Easy Setup before you started your Project.
    If you export as a Quicktime Movie then you are getting exactly the same export quality as the Timeline.
    The Quicktime Movie can be either Self-Contained or a Reference file. Reference Files are great because they use/reference you exisating captured files on your Scratch Disc, use less space and export fast.
    However if you need to play the export somewhere other than your Mac your will require the file to be Self-Contained.
    QuickTime Conversion does just that, Converts to whatever you select.

  • Chapters to DVD from Final Cut Express 4

    I'm looking for a DVD authoring app that is compatible with Final Cut Express 4.  I want to have the chapter markers I created in FCX 4 to appear in my final DVD.  I tried exporting my FCX 4 project with chapter markers as a Quick Time movie and using iDVD '08 to burn a DVD.  In the dvd play-preview, none of the chapters were present.  I don't see anyway to create chapters with iDVD '08.
    Is there something I'm missing in Final Cut Express 4 when creating chapter markers or exporting? Is there a Mac version of a DVD authoring app other than iDVD that would work?
    Thanks.

    Thanks Tom.
    I followed the instructions and was able to get chapters from Final Cut Express to work in the iDVD preview.
    I'm not sure how to control the quality of the final DVD since choosing File>Export>QuickTime Movie goes straight to export without any frame rate or resolution choices.  Is there a default setting that is adequate for TV viewing?
    Thanks again for saving me time.

    How do I set up my iPad so that I can recieve the emails from my Outlook Express account

    Your iPad doesn't receive email from Outlook Express (or any other email client).  It receives email from your email provider.  To set up your email account on your iPad go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...tap Add Account and add your email provider's account settings with your username and password.  iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, AOL and Hotmail email settings are automatically entered by tapping the appropriate button.  Others must be manually entered by tapping Other.  (Exchange accounts will also require you to enter your email provider's settings.)
