Have fx5600, why use liveupdate?
I have the fx5600 vtdr128.
Is there any use for LiveUpdate? this forum says I can't use the Hardware monitor for this card?
How should I get the latest BIOS for my video card if I can't use LiveUpdate/Hardware monitor?
Thanks,
Alan
Hardware Monitoring and Live Update are two different things entirely.
You do not need to update the BIOS for the card, it is not like a motherboard, they usually get things right the first time.
If you go to http://www.msi.com.tw/html/support/liveupdate/main.htm and download the Live Update 3 software, you should be able to see if there are any BIOS/Driver updates available for the MSI hardware on your PC.
I do not recommend updating the BIOs on your VGA card unless they provide an explanation about what it is supposed to fix and most importanly, if it applies to you and your reason for wanting to do so.
I usually get around two users a month requesting the original BIOS because the Live Update Utility hosed the card so you have been warned.

Why can I no longer use an image for my signature on forms? The only option I have now is "use a certificate". It was never like this until today.
Hi,
I had never heard of someone using the iPhone Number as the ID in the iMessages account in the Mac version.
i.e without adding an Apple ID
iMessages does allow iPhone numbers and mine lists mine.
I would try this.
Sign Out of the iMessages account and Quit Messages
On the iPhone in Settings > Messages remove the Apple ID
Set the iPhone to Airplane mode for a few minutes (to break with the Server)
On starting the phone up again check the iPhone Number is ticked for iMessages.
If it is add the Apple ID
On the Mac restart Messages
Add the Apple ID
At this point you should get a pop up or two saying the iPhone is using the Number and Apple ID.
Accept these and they get added to the Receive At list and Send From drop down.

Question why has my balance on my itune account have totally disappeared when I have only been using it for less than a year? had still fair bit of money in it too. around $60
First, make sure you're logged into the iTunes Store using the account ID and password you set up, or used, when you redeemed your card/gift. If you are, try signing out of the account and back in.
If you're sure you are using the correct account and that you're signing in to the iTunes Store, and signing out and back in doesn't help, go to the Purchase History and review your purchases to make sure that you should indeed have a balance left. iTunes doesn't always refresh the balance it shows, so it's possible you spent the money and it just wasn't being reflected in the display. This display error can usually be corrected by logging out of the iTunes Store and then back in.
If you confirm that you should have balance left but the iTunes Store isn't showing it correctly, send a message to the iTunes Store customer service department through the contact form you'll find by selecting the most applicable section of their Support page (select the Contact Support link and follow the instructions) and explain the problem to them.
Good luck. -

Why can't I set up POP/IMAP emails for my Muse website in Business Catalyst? I don't have the option 'use this service for email as well as hosting the website' under Advanced options.
Is this due to my Hosting Plan? Appreciate any answers.Your site is a CCM site which is on a WebBasics plan (This plan does not provide hosted emails on Business Catalyst).
If you want to create email addresses on this site, you would need to setup your email server elsewhere and configure the MX records on your site to point to that external mail server.
If you want to use Business Catalyst's hosted email services you would need to use a WebBasics+ or higher siteplan. To upgrade your CCM free site, Access your site's admin area -> Site Management -> Upgrade Now -> choose the desired site plan and billing frequency -> Add personal and credit card details -> Submit.

Why using BefferedReder and PrintWriter if we have Input/OutputStream
hi
i've been wondering if we have an InputStream and OutputStream why using PrintWriter and BufferedReader
in=s.getInputStream();
out=s.getOutputStream();
bfr=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(in));
writer=new PrintWriter(out,true);where s ia a socket
Edited by: scrolldown on Mar 29, 2008 3:03 AM
Edited by: scrolldown on Mar 29, 2008 3:04 AMEverything that is a InputStream/OutputStream is used to handle raw byte streams.
Everything that is a Reader/Writer is used to handle character data.
In your case the InputStreamReader provides the conversion from raw bytes to character data. Usually it does so using some specified encoding, in your case it uses your platform default encoding.
The PrintWriter does the same for the output, but doesn't allow you to specify an encoding (for this you'd have to use an OutputStreamWriter).
And please note, that it's usually an error to do any byte -> character or character -> byte conversion without specifying a character set, especially when handling sockets, because then the platform default encoding will be used which can be different from computer to computer and thus you don't know what exactly is sent over the wire.
If you don't know what I'm talking about, then read [The Absolute Minimum Every Software Developer Absolutely, Positively Must Know About Unicode and Character Sets (No Excuses!)|http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/Unicode.html], an excellent article that gives a good overview over the matter. -
When I first got my computer...I didn't have any problems connecting. I had to purchase a new router and since I have to reconnect using diagnostics. How can I return this so that I don't have to use diagnostics every single time?
To connect directly, you would need to connect an Ethernet cable between the Ethernet port on your MacBook and any of the available LAN ports on the Netgear router. I highlighted the Netgear's LAN ports with a blue arrow below.

Is there any way to have Mail automatically use our default "Sent" folder?
We are a small college, with a fair number of users who use Macs and iOS devices, and we run an IMAP mail server. By default, our accounts are configured with Sent, Trash, Drafts, and Junk folders. Apple's Mail.app insists on "Sent Messages" and "Deleted Messages" rather than "Sent" and "Trash".
We instruct our users to use the menu command Mailbox > Use This Mailbox For > commands to select our server's folders on their desktops, and on iOS to use the Settings > Mail > Account > Advanced, but this is tedious and annoying. Most users get it about half right, so that some devices use our default "Sent", and some use "Sent Messages". (This happens with Trash as well, but most users are not concerned if their Trash differs device to device.)
Is there any server setting that can hint to Mail.app that it should use "Sent" rather than "Sent Messages"?
Apple has a support document about this issue, "Mountain Lion Mail: If messages aren't stored where expected on the server" ( http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11810 ).
However, that doc (and the similar one for Snow Leopard) merely says, "When Mail stores messages on the server, it looks for specific mailboxes, by name, in which to put the messages. If Mail doesn’t find those mailboxes on the server, it tries to create them on the server or, failing that, on your Mac."
The document does not specify what the "specific mailboxes" are, and certainly does not suggest that there is any way to have it cooperate better with our server, but perhaps there is a way?
(If I was trying to be a good IMAP client, I might look for any of "Sent", "Sent Messages", or "Sent Items", and use what I found before going to the next step of creating my own folder. Hard to imagine that any IMAP account would be initially configured without some "Sent" folder, so why not try to discover what the user has before pig-headly making your own.)Unfortunately, I have not found a consise way to explain this to the general user, just a huge wall of text to work around something that Apple got wrong the first time they created an IMAP client, and has stubbornly persited with. Here's our documentation for this silly problem:
Special Folders on IMAP
The basic idea is that all IMAP mail programs keep all your mail on our server, so that, e.g. when you read or reply to a message, all of your devices can then show that message as read and replied to.
By convention, each IMAP program treats a few folders on the server as "Special", such as a "Trash" folder, that deleted messages get moved to, and a "Sent" folder, where each message you send gets copied. When they all pick the same special folders, all of your devices will show the same view of your mail. However, if different devices use different server folders for their "special" Sent folder, then the mail from these two devices will wind up in two different places, and be harder to find.
Unfortunately, Apple's Mail programs are particularly obscure and obtuse in the way they treat these folders: They show their special Sent and Trash folders on screen with the obvious names "Sent" and "Trash", but secretly, under the covers, they insist on using folders named, "Sent Messages" and "Deleted Messages" instead. Even if the server already has perfectly usable "Sent" and "Trash" folders, Apple clients will ignore them and create their own special case "special" folders.
If you only ever use Apple devices to look at your IMAP mail, you might never even notice their deception. But, if you sometimes use another mail client, such as webmail, you will encounter the confusing truth: When we created your account for the very first time, we add a "Sent" folder (actually named "Sent") and a Trash folder, named "Trash", and this is what everything except Apple's mail will use by default, because those folders are already their the first time the client connects to your account. However, even though Apple shows your special sent folder at the top of the list, with a paper-airplane icon, and labels it "Sent", in fact they ignore the existing "Sent" folder and make and use their own "Sent Messages."
SO, if you send some mail from webmail, it will be in your actual "Sent" folder, whereas if you send it from an Apple mail program, it will be put into your "Sent Messages" folder. If you look into either "Sent" special folder, you'll only find part of your previously sent mail.
Similarly for Trash, though most users find it more problematic to have two different Sent collections than to have multiple trash buckets.
To unify things, you can either set your non-Apple mail programs to use "Sent Messages" and "Deleted Items"; OR, you can set all of your Apple devices to use "Sent" and "Trash". Doesn't really matter which way you go, though if a majority of your devices are doing it a particular way, you should change the non-matching devices to agree with the majority.
(All clear so far? Why did Apple make this so hard? It would have been utterly simple for them to check for an existing "Sent" folder, and to use one if there is one, rather than to always stubbornly create and use a new "Sent Messages" folder. Then, they add to the problem by pretending that their new "Sent Messages" folder is really just named "Sent". Stupidity all the way down.)
Anyways, to find out what the majority of your devices are doing, check them each to see which of the "sent" folders shows up in the "normal" list of folders rather than in the "special" location, that is, what folder name is in the list at the bottom of the folder area, rather than up at the special "Sent" icon, (because the special one will always be labeled "Sent", not matter what the actual folder name is).
For example, say that on all-but-one of your mail setups, you see a "Sent Messages" folder down in the normal list, and on the other device, you see "Sent" down in the normal list.
In that case, you'd want to set the "different" device to make the folder named "Sent" be the special one, instead of the "Sent Messages" that it was currently using.
Conversely, if all but one showed "Sent" down in the regular folder area, and only one showed "Sent Messages", then you'd want to make "Sent Messages" the special folder on the odd device.
Once you have decided, see the specific sections below for the procedure to set the "special" folders for Apple's Mail.app on a Mac, Apple's Mail on an iPhone/Pad/Pod, or for RoundCube webmail, or for Thunderbird.
Once you have every device using the same sent folder, then you can move any messages from the "extra" version of the folder into your special folder, and then you can delete the extra folder. (If you delete this extra folder and it later re-appears, then it means one of your mail programs is still using it as its "special" folder, and recreating it.)
Similarly for Trash, though probably you could delete the extra trash folder without moving the files, because they are trash.
Here are the details for changing the Special Mail Folders on the systems we use:
A) iPhone, iPad, iPod:
As a first step, use Settings > Mail to set your device to read your email account, then open the Mail program so that it will read the list of all of your folders from the mail server. After that, go back to Settings > Mail to make sure it is using the desired special mailboxes on the server.
Select your IMAP account in the settings tool, and then press the button for "Advanced" settings, and find the list of special mailboxes, e.g. Sent, Trash, Drafts. For each, scroll through the list of folders on the server to choose the folder you wish to use for that function.
Note: iPhones/Pads/Pods also can be set to keep sent mail locally on the device. This is a spectacularly stupid choice for normal IMAP, as none of your other devices will be able to see the messages you send from your phone.
B) Mail.app on Mac desktops and laptops:
Set up mail so that it reads your messages and folders from the mail server.
Select the "Sent" folder that you wish to use in the list of folders at the lower left of the mail window. (On newer Macs, the folders may be hidden by default. Use the "View > Show Folder List" menu command to display them if necessary.)
Use the menu command "Mailbox > Use This Mailbox For > Sent" to specify that the selected mail box is the special folder for sent mail, and similarly for your Trash, Junk, or Drafts folders.
C) RoundCube Webmail (with the standard skin):
Login to your webmail site , and select the "Settings" icon in the upper right of the window, which has a "Gear" icon. This will display a "Settings" panel with buttons for "Preferences", "Folders", and "Identities" settings. When you first open the Settings panel, the "Section" panel shows a row of buttons for different Preferences.
Click "Special Folders" in the "Section" list to open a list of "Drafts", "Sent", "Junk", and "Trash". Each special folder is followed by a menu of all your server folders. Select the server folder to use for each special folder.
D): Thunderbird:
After you have set up your connection to your IMAP account, click "Get Mail" to fetch your existing mail and list of folders on the server.
Next, select the menu command "Options > Account Settings…" (Note that on current versions of Thunderbird, the default menu drops down from an icon of three horizontal bars, in the upper right corner of the mail window. You can use the Options command in this menu to display a menu bar at the top of the Thunderbird window if you wish. With the full menu, the menu command to access the special folders settings is "Tools > Account Settings…"
Select "Copies and Folders" in the list at the left of the Account Settings window. This panel has a section for Sent mail, Archives, Drafts, and Templates. Select "Junk Settings" in the list at left to specify the location of the Junk special folder.
For each special folder, the default choice is the the folder on the server with the "typical" name, e.g. "Sent" for sent, and "Trash" for trash. To use a different name, select the "Other:" option for the folder, and then choose the desired folder from the list of folders on the server.
Oof! That's a lot of explaining for a issue that Apple should have gotten right in the first place, or at least should have fixed in their next several tries. It would not break any existing functionality if they merely used whatever folder the server had created, and only made their own if there was none. -
I have multiple devices used by family members, how do you make sure the kids don't see Moms messages from Dad and visa versa?
Hi Roger:
Thanks for the reply. I think I figured out the problem. Apple has confused (at least in my mind) the different IDs that people can have. In the iCloud settings, they use the term Apple ID and not iCloud ID. I guess there really is no such thing as an iCloud ID. There are Apple IDs with various attributes. This is not clearly explained or easy to see (how could I look up to see if my Apple ID is associated with iTunes for example?).
I created, what I thought were iCloud IDs for each family member, but we all use my Apple ID for iTunes.
One other question - why does the syncing of Notes using iCloud require an @me.com email account. That makes no sense to me.
Thanks for your help!

Can I use the time capsule as just an external hard drive for music or does it have to be used soley as a back up? I'm thinking for music and photos

Hello friends.. I have a similar question, in that I would like to purchase the 2TB TC for use as a NAS device, in addition to taking advantage of the Air Port extreme.. Then I could dump my Linksys router.

I have a Synology NAS as well as the Time Capsule. If you look at the 3.2 beta program, the Synology actually attempts to replicate TC functionality in that you can use it with Time Machine on your Mac.
I must say, Airport on the TC is definitely a nice feature!

I'm surprised more people aren't using the TC as a dedicated NAS deviced.. I've searched high and low on forums around the web, and don't seem to see many people trying to use it as I've outlined.
I can't see why this wouldn't fufill my needs, and take the place of a separate NAS solution (like the Synology, or iOmega, Seagate, etc....)
Has anyone used this TC as such?
Yes, you can do this and it's something I've been trying to do, but I'm currently having issues. I have another thread stating I consistently get "connection failed" messages. I'm basically storing my music/photo/video files on the TC and keeping my Mac hard drive fairly lean. In terms of NAS functionality, the TC is very basic. Synology/QNAP and others have a lot more features so don't rule them out. -
Why use Oracle 8.1.5 for Linux?
Dear,
If it is really pain in the ass to install Oracle on Linux, why
use it? I have spent more than 4 full days (more than what I
excepted) to try to install Oracle on a Linux box.
I guess I will go for mySQL since I can just install the RPM
package and do not have to worry those critical issues.
Just a note for Oracle, please design a better Installer next
time which is going to work! Thank you.
Best Regards,
Alex Yu
nullI have some sympathy for your plight. I have 8.0.5 installed on
RedHat Linux. Apart from patching the Pro*C configuration file,
everything is fine.
It does seem 8.1.5 is more problematic. If you're purely
evaluating Oracle, maybe you should consider 8.0.5 until 8i
stabilises unless you really are gagging for some 8i feature.

Why Using Top Link is best in DB Adapter?
Hi All,
Can any one suggest , Why Using Top Link (Build-in Insert, Select etc. operation) is best in DB Adapter over using custom query?
ThanksHi Vikky,
for insert/select it depends on what kind of user you are. TopLink lets you browse and click on a tables and have everything generated for you. If you are more a DBA or show me the SQL type then you can just type SQL directly.
Some advantages of TopLink would be:
-The range of SQL generated by TopLink is limited, but if you hard code complex SQL into your service you need to maintain it.
-TopLink can generate at runtime the correct SQL for a given database, making switching from say DB2 to Oracle easy.
-The merge operation will compare the input XML to the columns on the database and update only what has changed. It can also do a sparse merge. If only 4 columns in the XML were set, only those 4 columns in the database will be updated.
-For inbound polling the strategy used (LogicalDelete, Sequencing Table, etc) is a configuration property and then at runtime multiple SQL statements are generated. The SQL also takes advantage of advanced syntax like the Oracle-only FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED, writing it all yourself may be tedious and error prone.
-The main benefit of TopLink is when you go beyond thinking about a single table. If you import multiple related tables at once, TopLink will generate the SQL to select from and maintain multiple tables, establish a commit order, and generate a hierarchical XSD. With custom SQL the matching XSD is always flat. I.e. if you just need to insert an emp you could get away with custom SQL. If you need to insert a dept and emps, I would use TopLink.
-This is also when the intermediary abstraction of an object/table makes more sense, as you only need to import a complex relational schema once, then generate inserts, selects, etc.
So I hope that helps. They are each equally viable and can do something that the other can't. Where you see an overlap I would go with personal preference.
Thanks

We shoot with DVCpro50 at 24p.
A few questions.
1. Is there anytime that there is an advantage, or a time when you have to use field dominance ?
Interlaced footage looks like crap. Stills look horrible in an interlaced timeline - why ever use it ?
It seems I can just switch the field dominance from "lower/even" to "none" and everything looks 10 times better on computer and NTSC monitor.
2. Is there anytime that there is a disadvantage to removing the pulldown and editing in 24fps. It looks 10 times better without the screwd up "B/C & C/D" frames if you leave it in and edit at 29.97fps.
3. is there any advantage or quality enhancement by removing the pulldown in "Shake" rather than letting FCP do it while capturing. And after removing, should your sequence timeline be set to 24fps or 23.98fps and why ?
4. Have G5, OSX 10.4.8, AJA IO hooked up to NTSC monitor, and can't view 24fps timeline on external NTSC monitor - only frames when parked - is that because these monitors will only accept 29.97 field dominated footage ?Fist off - thanks for the help on part 4.
I know how TV works and why NTSC was invented over a half century ago.
Now that I can monitor on the external I will always edit in 24. I'm only the editor - they shoot with a SPX900 in 24p - if you don't remove the pulldown, frames 3 & 4 out of the 5 frame cycle combined with the interlacing gives really bad results. So out of curiosity I switched the sequence dominance setting from "lower/even" to "none" - at this point is ii still treated as interlaced or if it is set to "none" is it now progressive, like when you are editing in 24 and the field dominance window is greyed out. I would think that this would look jittery on a TV because the field order isn't right - but it doesn't - I can make DVD, VHS(not sure why), and monitor and the only difference is that the stills look incredibly better - there's no banding and stair stepping on the shoulders- on either the computer monitor or the NTSC monitor. And with it set to "lower/even" the bigger the computer or TV screen the worse it looks - but with it set to "none" the stills just get softer as you view them on bigger screens as if the right amount of gaussian blur was being added automatically - Isn't that wht you want ?
So that was why I ask "why use interlace" if you have a choice?
I'm not trying to be cool - these are ligitimate questions. I consider this doing my homework - isn't that what forums are for - I help people with answers all of the time.
As for part 3 - Does "standard pulldown" refer to going back & forth between 24fps (film) and 29.97 (video) and "advanced pulldown" from 23.98 to 29.97 ?
Are all of these modern video cameras actually shooting at 23.98 ?
