Good and bad news but a little confused (draytek 2...

Just returned from holiday a few days ago, on return we found that our phone line was done, no voice or data. Doh
Today a nice BT engineer came, he found a problem with the external wiring of the line, a fe hours later a nice new connection and line up and running...that's good news number 1
As and engineer had been and I'd noticd that Mike_tuner had posted that a firmware update had become avaialble for the Draytek 2750, I like Mike had no luck in getting this router to work when BT infinity was first intalled at my house in January.
So armed with a new solid connection and the firmware I flashed the router connected her up and hay presto a connection, so 2 boxes become 1 the desk looks a lot neater and I can actually have a wireless conection that doesn't keep dropping out...Good news part 2
Now for the bad news..
before the problems with the telphone line, although our connection had quire a few drop outs, i managed a download speed of around 32 mbps, being in the sticks I was more than happy, even though the BT website quoted my 40mbps at the time of ordering. Now however since the the engineer has been I can only get around 13 mbps???
The bt line test (cant post as it only allows 1 test per hour) says that the maximum poss is 14 mbps?? confused.. i have had 30 so how is this possible??
so guys whats your thoughts, can I get it quicker, should it be quicker, has the work on the line reduced my speed..
cheers

Some good and bad news...

The bad news... My 15'' MBP (week 22) has a few issues, some more serious than others (kernal issues).
The good news... Apple Australia are replacing it for me.
With all the negative posts on this forum regarding Apple I must say I am very pleased with the level of customer service I recieved from Apple. They were very polite and did not question my request once, actually they suggested a replacement over it being fixed!
One question I do have though is what is happening to all these MBPs that are being returned? I hope they are just not being reimaged and sent out again? I woudl be a little disapointed if I received a refurbished MBP if I payed top dollar for it.
Anyway, congrats to Apple Australia for their excellent customer service.

it will have whatever is wrong with it fixed and be sold as a refurb.

Goods and Bads with the 6110 Navigator

Hi
New user of this forum and a proud owner of a Nokia 6110 Navigator. I had the 6280 but after 2 SW upgrades and still problem with it, I gave up.
First impression of the 6110 is good, but I found a couple of small things that ”irritates” me.
1 – The timer function when you write “0200” and press options instead of green (call) button.
2 – The original headset is too cheap to be an expensive phone like this, should be more like Koss “plug-in-your-ear” kind of headphones, instead of the small “put-close-to-your-ear” thing that is included.
Also, the straight up cable from the top of the phone is no good. Makes the phone lie bad in the pocket. I also guessing that this cable is going to snap after a while. Why not a 90 degree “adapter” or something?
3 – When you sending an SMS, on my 6280 you could choose “last used number” or something like that, now you have to choose name, and then number, and then OK to go back to the SMS.
Well.. that’s it so far. Anyone else have goods and bads about this phone ?
mvh / regards
Timmy

hi im havin same issues!!
i went from 6280 to 6110 after i smashed it
1.first off i didnt kno of the timer option...good bcoz it was annoyin not havin a stopwatch

5. on my 6280, i had a shortcut menu as mi left select button, cant do this now
6. power button is end call button, lotsa accidental turn offs
7. cant turn off start up tone
oh well i still like it

I install at the new update cc2014 but for some reason in my computer appear double app the old one and the new but the new dose not gave the setup that I have in my old version! What happen ?

Seriously, I doubt that your answer helped Erik. He has two issues.
He installed the new program and has a double icon folders with software. One for the new & one for the old. (I have this same problem.)
He must have attempted to open one of the products and no longer see his personal settings transferred over. (The install will ask to have those settings migrating, but you have to accept it. eh, I could be wrong; but, that what i remembered doing.
I concur with his first.
However, i can not get any of my products to work. Ie. have to constantly click on icon to open; once open i get a unexpected error and have to close. I'm on a mac pro w/ latest os system.
In addition, I have tried to uninstall the older by clicking on the application's manager icon.; Unfortunately, it shuts down at each attempt. Therefore, I am unable to un-install the old product or the new.
Possibly, we were hoping that the new product would be simply updated if an old recent was already installed.
Instead, the installation simply created a new icon and the new folder with product.

I'm sorry, I do not fully understand your question. However if you are looking for the email address which you have used for your iTunes account, you can find this out by using the "get info" command on any items you have previously purchased from iTunes and navigating to the summary tab.

Leopard - the good and bad

My reviews so far:
The good -
• Finder is amazing - awesome way to see files without the need to launch apps
• Icons look great (the actual image)
• printing is a amazing now - the features and how to handle the files
• new dock looks cool and the new menu bar's translucent look
• Seems a little faster on the MacPro
• When highlighting text in a website and then holding down control, you can launch google maps without having to type the address in the field - good tim saver
• neat clipping feature for dashboard in safari
• stacks are awesome
• spaces are cool
The bad -
• AOL's re-sizing of windows doesn't work
• All embedded HTML in emails on AOL doesn't work
• Google Maps don't work
• The Graphic images of Apple's own Apps are blurry in cover flow in the finder
(Final Cut Pro, Cinema Tools, Apple Q Admin, Q MAster, Color App, DVD Studio Pro, LiveType, Motion, Soundtrack Pro)
• Where's Sherlock? Such a great App that had so much potential.
• wish there was a way to hide a group in address book for when you need it
i still need to mess with time machine
i give it 4 out 5 stars out of the box... (for those who care)

Ok add one more strange piece
If you disconnect the power supply the PB goes dead. but
Shutdown disconnect power supply.
Restart from battery
PB starts fine runs down relatively quickly
Reconnect the power supply but no change
redisconnect the power supply with the battery at 45% shuts down again
It's like a switch that doesn't want to open???
Enio

Zen Style M300 - good and bad I'm afraid!

Neat, easy to operate, clear (though small) screen.
I can li've with it as it works OK for the price - BUT it really needs firmware updates and co-operation with OSs and Apps:
. Has anybody at Creative heard of Linux? If you Google 'Linux' you'll find that there are many millions of us who use it now. If you are confused by the number of distributions you could do worse than ensuring that your products function well with Ubuntu. Please contribute to the Linux community by providing info to allow your players to be recognised by Rhythmbox, Banshee etc (as older ipods are). In the meantime give clear instructions as to how to operate the M300 with say Ubuntu / Banshee. Files that are hidden in Windows appear in Linux - you should have stored all config files in a Config folder - not the root. At least your device appears as two USB attached storage devices so I can add files in Linux easily.
2. You MUST implement bookmarking (both in Music and on SDCard. If I listen to a podcast or audiobook I need to come back to the same place - after listening to other stuff. The device does not even remember where you are on the SDCard if you pause before shutdown. This then needs new menus 'Bookmarks' in Music and SDCard.
3. Playlists are a shambles - why insist on Unicode / Winamp? The Unicode step stops synching and complicates updating playlists horribly. There is no Winamp for Linux - and you don't publish exactly how you want the playlist format to be as far as I can see. Why not implement a Now Playing queue so you can select a number of files that will get queued for playing? Then you could add a menu item the the Now Playing menu to Save As a playlist (OK you would have to name it something - maybe just 'Playlist date time'). You can't make playlists for the SDCard files.
4. Your user guide is very poor - loads of pages with just a few lines on each. It doesn't even say clearly how to arrange files and folders in Music:
I found out by trial & error that the player isn't fussy - it just sees all files in Music - however for sanity it is best to arrange with folders Artist - Album - Files. The SDCard listings just see filenames not ID3 track names - really bad for podcasts that often have horrible long filenames.
5. On the subject of ID3 - would it do any harm to mention that the player only understands ID3v2.3? It took me a huge search on the web to find out why your player did not read the mp3 data - and lists as Unknown Artist, Unknown Album - that was in ID3v2.4. In Linux I can easily change the tags to v2.3 - but it is annoying to have to do so.
(to engineers at Creative: ID3v2.4 was created in the year 2000 - do keep up!)
6. The SDCard MUST integrate into main memory - it is so clunky not having the same facilities for it as in the Music folder. This must be so that you can charge more for M300s with more basic memory!
To sum up:
When you create web pages you test them thoroughly with different browsers - and when you create devices like the M300 you must test them and make sure that non-technical users can operate them easily in Windows 7, Windows XP, Linux Ubuntu, Mac OS: in each case with a good free app available for the synching. Nowadays we use devices with a whole range of systems at home and at work.
I wish you'd sent me a pre-production model to give you this feedback a few months ago!
If I sound irritated - I am - mainly because its a lovely little player with some hugely irritating characteristics.
OK - top firmware update requset: bookmarks!

Hi,
Thank you for the feedback.

N97 v20 Firmware the good and bad

Ok, so I've been laying with the new firmware for a day now and to all of those that haven't yet, and are experiencing issues, PLEASE, back your phone up and do a hard reset.
Then restore only essential things like contacts, pictures, videos etc. Not settings, these you can redo.
A hard reset will NOT delete any data stored on the mass memory.
I reckon it is essential to do the hard reset, this is a big firmware release, why not do nice a format and start from scratch? It is well worth it.
So the good:
Kinetic scrolling everywhere is bliss, I have 515 contacts and it scrolls beautifully. The only time I have some shudder is if my finger is a not perfectly dry. If it shudders, try scrolling with a fingernail, it seems to work for me.
Overall speed and responsiveness. The phone is a joy to operate now. Going from the menu button to the main menu and into settings or apps is now almost instantaneous.
Typing a message with the qwerty keyboard closed is much easier now. Before, the touch screen used to miss keypresses and I'd have to go back and retype the word slower which drove me nuts and I had to use the qwerty keyboard everytime I wanted to type a message.
Holding a key to bring up it's corresponding number is a welcome addition. The number change key is right on the bottom right of the keyboard which is awkward when you are typing quickly or typing a password with combinations of numbers and letters
When you hide the widgets on the home screen using a sideways swipe, the clock now stays, so you can neaten up your desktop but still see the time. I didn't like this at first, but it seems pretty logical. Although I would perhaps have moved the time and date to a smaller font and pushed it up to the top near the signal or battery strength indicators.
Browsing photo's is very nice now. The gallery is quick to load and once you open a picture you can easily browse with a side swipe.
The Accuweather widget seems to behave itself now.
The not so good:
There are some updates that seem to have been forgotten.
Where is Ovi maps 3.1?
Where are the letters on the dialer screen?
We are still waiting for Skype [Though this wasn't listed in v20 firmware]
Facebook app is still the same. I saw a video where it was mentioned that the FB app was updated. It's still not possible to upload videos or see your notifications.
For those having Issues with Ovi store and scrolling, you need to update it.
So thats it. v20 firmware is the firmware that should have been shipped with the phone, I doubt then that there would be so many gripes with it.
Once again folks, PLEASE do a hard reset, most of your issue post update will probably be resolved this way, but do not restore your settings, just contacts, pictures, messages etc.

I've notice the Facebook App seems a lot slower. especially when loading up your friends list Now takes 30secs+. Any attempt to navigate elsewhere causes the app to freeze up

Good and bad things about Bridge CS6 Beta

The good thing first: No memory leaks anymore. No crashing, no freezing, no write errors when running Bridge scripts on large numbers of image files. Ah—what a relief!
In comparison this this, the bad things are just trifles. First—when selecting the exposure data to show up under each thumbnail then the aperture number will get rounded down to the nearest integer. So, for example, apertures of f/1.4, f/1.7, f/2, f/2.8, f/3.5, f/5.6, f/6.3, f/6.7 will get presented as 1.0, 1.0, 2.0, 2.0, 3.0, 5.0, 6.0, 6.0, respectively. In the EXIF data, the aperture numbers are correct, and Camera Raw 7.0 will display the correct numbers. Second—when starting Bridge CS6 or Photoshop CS6 then the monitor will get switched off for a brief moment. The screen goes completely black for two seconds or so, then returns as if it was in stand-by mode. It's nothing severe but very annoying.
Windows XP (32 bit) SP3; CPU Athlon Dual-Core 64 X2 6000+; RAM 4 GB installed, 3 GB used; graphic card AMD Radeon HD 2600 Pro (AMD Catalyst Display Driver from March 2012 installed); monitor Dell Ultra-Sharp 2407WFP-HC (24", 1920×1200 px) connected via DVI, no second monitor.

What camera produced the files?
Doesn't matter. I have files from two different cameras, Sony A900 and Leica M9, all shot in both JPEG and raw format (ARW for the Sony; DNG 1.0 for the Leica). The issue occurs with the thumbnails of both the JPEG and raw files. For the very same files, the issue is not there in Bridge CS5.

It's often good to run the latest ones.
Well ... the previous version of the display driver actually was the latest, at the time of installing CS6 Beta. The current driver version came out only two days ago.

10.5 - 300 Good or BAD new Features????

Been two weeks since installing Leopard and have had nothing but problems.
iCal is useless, cannot publish and cannot properly sync with my iPhone
iPhoto no longer works properly as the camera card no longer automatically opens iPhoto.
Podcast Maker crashes
and many, many more issues.
All these features were fine with 10.4.10.

Yes, Fireworks is part of Adobe CS3 (at least the web suites), since Adobe bought Macromedia.
For what it's worth, it's a good idea to check compatibility with your versions of software you need to use before upgrading to a new Mac OS version. Most upgrades (as opposed to updates) break at least some functionality in some software, especially older software.

After clearing cash on mac applications won't lunch any more..I tried to delete apps like VLC player with app cleaner and again download and instal new but it's the same..goes for all apps that are not originally part of Yosemite. Please advise me?!

After clearing cash on my mac ( Go to folder: ~/Library/Caches and clear all, than to Library/Cashes and clear all again) applications won't lunch any more..I tried to delete apps like VLC player, firefox.. with app cleaner and again download and install the new one but it's the same..goes for all apps that are not originally part of Yosemite. I have done this cash clean up very often on Maverick without any problems. This time I done it again because I could not open my web site, the server has blocked me and I was trying everything including deleting cash from mac. Please advise me what to do..?!? Thanks in advance.

It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

[SOLVED] systemd and ConsoleKit - I'm a little confused

I'm using SLIM and Openbox and am in the process of converting to systemd.
I've added the needed configuration files for systemd.
I can boot using the wiki instructions here https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sy … stallation
I've added SLIM as a service using https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sy … er_systemd
My question is: Do I still need ConsoleKit? So far this seems to be working for me but I'm not sure if I need to add ConsoleKit somehow.
BTW: I start Openbox with the usual
exec ck-launch-session openbox-session
when using initscripts.
Last edited by bergersau (2012-10-11 05:31:52)

Thanks WonderWoofy, I just double checked my ~/.xinitrc and found I had commented out ck-launch-session when I installed SLIM many moons ago - Sorry My Bad, I was working from my 'obviously flawed' memory.
As ConsoleKit is a dependency of SLIM I'll obviously need to keep it around for the time being. One final question - Do I need to do anything more with it than just have it installed on the system?
