Having a Problem with WMA DRM and Muvo TX FM - Upd

No elapsed time problem with WMA DRM or other protected files from:
Napster
WalMart
Audible.com.
Elapsed time problem with WMA DRM from:
Netlibrary.com
This is an update on the problem that I described below:
Windows Media Player
One problem I had was that Windows Media Player would not recognize my muvo players. It turned out that because I was using a USB hub for the players to connect WMP was not recognizing the players. When I used a direct line to the USB port on the computer, WMP has no problem recognizing the player.
Digital License.
As a test, I bought a WMA song file from WalMart to see if its Digital Rights Management was compatible with Muvo. There was no problem with the correct elapsed time showing. I will also test a file from Napster and add its license details here.
Here is something else I noticed - the differences in
the license for the two types of WMA files:
The one from WalMart - which works fine with the
elapsed time on the MuVo:
This file can be played an unlimited number of times
Collaborati've play for this file is not allowed
This file can be burned 0 more times<<<
This file can be synchronized an unlimited number of
times
The license for this file can be backed up <<<
For the one from netlibrary.com
This file can be played until 4/9/2005
Collaborati've play for this file is not allowed
This file cannot be burned
This file can be synchronized 3 more times until
4/9/2005
The license for this file cannot be backed up<<<<
I have been able to copy WMA with DRM audiobook files to my TX FM, but the elapsed time doesn't change with either play or fast forward. The file is from Netlibrary.com which supplies audiobooks to public libraries. The file plays, but the display stays all zeroes.
I have been sending information and getting replies and suggestions from both Netlibrary support and Creative technical support with no solution. I have the latest firmware and everything else. I have the problem on both Windows XP and Windows 2000 computers. I have downloaded several files, but none of them show elapsed time. I suspect it is something to do with the DRM, because I can play a preview file from Netlibrary - without DRM - with no problem. I also have no problem with other files copied over - from Audible, from CDs, etc.Message Edited by alex20850 on 03-30-2005 07:54 PMMessage Edited by alex20850 on 03-30-2005 08:4 PM

I'm primarily using my TX FM for netlibrary.com audiobooks and also get all zeros on the display.
I've been steadily complaining to netlibrary and my local library about problems/inconveniences, itcertainly is experiencing growing pains; we're the ones getting the pain, though!
I'll post here if I find a (legal) resolution to this.
What firmware version do you have? I have .2.04 and I see that .3.03 is available for download. I've read here that there are problems with .3 with volume limiting and I'm hesitant to change. I do notice that one of the listed fixes is:
Updates the elapsed time displayed during navigation within a long recorded track
so, maybe this is the answer?

I have upgraded Apple Aperture from version 2 to version 3 and I'm having a problem with the "Highlights and Shadows" adjustment. According to the user's manual, I should have access to an advanced disclosure triangle which would allow me to adjust mid contrast, colour, radius, high tonal width and low tonal width.
If anyone has any suggestions as to how to access this advanced section, I'd be most grateful.

Hi David-
The advanced adjustments in the Highlights & Shadows tool were combined into the "Mid Contrast" slider in Aperture 3.3 and later. If you have any images in your library that were processed in a version of Aperture before 3.3, there will be an Upgrade button in the Highlights & Shadows tool in the upper right, and the controls you asked about under the Advanced section. Clicking the Upgrade button will re-render the photo using the new version of Highlights & Shadows, and the Advanced section will be replaced with the new Mid Contrast slider. With the new version from 3.3 you probably don't need the Advanced slider, but if you want to use the older version you can download it from this page:

HT4060 I'm having some problems with my ipad and charging it. I am having to leave it in charge for a lot longer, but when I take it out and want to use it the battery is still not completely full and goes down a lot faster than usual

I'm having some problems with my ipad and charging it. I am having to leave it in charge for a lot longer, but when I take it out and want to use it the battery is still not completely full and goes down a lot faster than usual. The other day, I had charged my iPad overnight so that I could take it to university with me for the day, and when I had switched it on the next day the battery was on 5% and I had not used it since charge.

Your battery may be dying. THey are only good for so many charges/discharges. If you have an apple store near by make an appointment and have them check itout

Hi everyone,

I am not too sure if thats a virus or trojan.. I always thought that macs didn't get virus? this looks like one to me… any experts around? please help me fix it with your instructions? really don't know what to do... thanks

Those are not viruses. You have probably installed some malware:
The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide
Helpful Links Regarding Malware Protection
An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.
Also, visit The XLab FAQs and read Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware.
See these Apple articles:
          Mac OS X Snow Leopard and malware detection
          OS X Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
          OS X Mountain Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
          About file quarantine in OS X
If you require anti-virus protection Thomas Reed recommends using Dr.Web Light from the App Store. It's free, and since it's from the App Store, it won't destabilize the system. If you prefer one of the better known commercial products, then Thomas recommends using Sophos.(Thank you to Thomas Reed for these recommendations.) If you already use Sophos, then be aware of this if you are using Mavericks: OS X Mavericks- Sophos Anti-Virus on-access scanner versions 8.0 - 9.1 may cause unexpected restarts
From user Joe Bailey comes this equally useful advice:
The facts are:
1. There is no anti-malware software that can detect 100% of the malware out there.
2. There is no anti-malware that can detect anything targeting the Mac because there
     is no Mac malware in the wild, and therefore, no "signatures" to detect.
3. The very best way to prevent the most attacks is for you as the user to be aware that
     the most successful malware attacks rely on very sophisticated social engineering
     techniques preying on human avarice, ****, and fear.
4. Internet popups saying the FBI, NSA, Microsoft, your ISP has detected malware on
    your computer is intended to entice you to install their malware thinking it is a
    protection against malware.
5. Some of the anti-malware products on the market are worse than the malware
    from which they purport to protect you.
6. Be cautious where you go on the internet.
7. Only download anything from sites you know are safe.
8. Avoid links you receive in email, always be suspicious even if you get something
    you think is from a friend, but you were not expecting.
9. If there is any question in your mind, then assume it is malware.

Having a problem with app files and fonts between OS

I work in a prepress department, and we are have issues with files that are coming from 10.4.11 to 10.5.8. The 10.4.11 is a power PC and the 10.5.8 is Intel. Fonts get corrupt and display as a unix file with 0 file size and application files like Quark loose there ID and come up as a document file. I think this has to do with the OS difference. Is there any way that this can be fixed???

Well we are having the the same problem with folders. Jobs that are made on a 10.4 Mac, sometimes you can't see the contents of the folder on a 10.5 Mac. And there is no pattern.
And if you take the contents out of the folder and put it loose using a 10.4 Mac, you can see it on a 10.5 Mac
Also if we put a .dfont on the end to the font using a 10.4 Mac, you can see the font on a 10.5 Mac.
This is all very strange. There are no patterns and no reason why one folder would work and the other does not. Just checking if there is something that could be causing a problem between the OS's.

Anyone having printer problems with adobe cs5 and mountain lion

I can print one copy in adobe cs5 but if I hit the print button it shuts down the program. Anyone having this problem besides me?

Are the drivers for your printer are up to date? You probably can print one copy cause it doesn't access the option window in your application.

Having a problem with my mac and wy windows network!

Hi all! this is my first post, se please forgive any etiquette errors!
I have bootcamp installed on my macbook, as the company i work with has a completely windows setup, but i would like to get away from this and be able to use my mac as it was intended!
However, i am having a couple of problems...
I can connect to the network via VPN, and get given an IP address.
I can ping other machines on the network via IP address
I can connect to machines using microsoft's Remote Desktop Connection by entering their IP address.
That is all fine and dandy! Then come my questions, which i have tried to research, but have hurt my head with the complicated array of manuals, guides, hints, tips etc, and was wondering if anyone here would be lovely enough to give me a step by step how-to or two!
I cannot mount the main server's file share (windows 2003)
I cannot ping or remote desktop to a machine by its name (which is a problem, as they are all on DHCP!)
I cannot connect Mail to the exchange 2003 server (ideally this would work without being connected to the VPN, as is possible in windows through RDP via HTML... or some such initials!)
Any help yould be very much appreciated!

Having a problem with Pro Tools and Quiktime may be the cause. Need advice.

Could this be my problem? thanks

A fax file is simply a TIFF file. If you converted it to a PDF (you did not give any info on your workflow), then you have a graphic. The conversion to Excel will also be a bunch of graphics I guess. You would need to run OCR first. Even then you may not get the column information and may have to copy column by column using alt key when selecting the text. That allows you go copy a column.

I'm having a problem with the registry and iTunes.

Vista stopped seeing my DVD/CD drive the other day, so I went to the registry and deleted the high and low pass filters for the drive. This fixed that problem.
Only problem now was that none of my programs would see the drive, so I had to reinstall all my burning software and such... except that iTunes, after reinstalling it 5 times, still will not see my drive.
Any ideas or help? Thanks.

Having serious problems with Google Adsense and iWeb

Ok, I'm totally ignorant when it comes to web work. I can direct friggin' movies but this web stuff, forget it.
However, I am playing around with a video podcast and would like to try and do the website myself. But I can't seem to have any luck setting up Google's adsense on the site. I've followed the steps in the following link...
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=399399&tstart=0
...and the results are not good.
One thing, since I'm no longer using my .mac account to host (can't use ads on there?) I am hosting the site through powweb. I don't know if that has anything to do with why it's acting like this.
My web address is offthestriplv.com. If anyone could check out the site and shed a little light on why it's so messed up, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thanks for your time everybody.

There are several problems. The code is showing, and also the positioning is off.
To exactly position where you want the ad to go, you need to position the text box of the exact same dimensions as the completed ad (or slightly larger to be on the safe side) exactly where you want it on the page.
Then type some text in the box. When you've published, you need to replace the text you've typed with the code. You obviously managed it once with the centre strip of google ads, but the top and bottom ones, it seems you've just pasted the code into the iWeb page. You can't just paste code into an iWeb page, only after publishing.
Another reason for the code showing is that you've not replaced the text properly and missed out some tags, so when the browser comes to render the page, it's treating it like text.
Hope that helps

Having a problem with Flash Builder and Extension Builder - images not apearing on Mac system

Have a panel created in Flash Builder 4.5 with Extension Builder 2.1. Everything is fine when installed on a PC but when installed on a Mac the images in the panel do not show.
Mac and PC both using Adobe Photoshop CC . Both installed from same .ZXP file using Adobe Extension Manager CC.
Any ideas?

No I used relative path - the path is images/image name
example images/cRight.png
tried downloading Extension Builder 2.1 and compiling on Mac but still have same results - images show up fine in design window , but not when running panel in Photoshop
Created a new project: testImage
added an image component to form
answered yes to add asset to project
ran project
image did not show up in Photoshop
went back to project
checked item Embed under Common image properties
ran project and image shows up
Looks like it works if I add @Embed("assets/image name") on Mac to display images
tried in my real project:
Looks like it works if I add @Embed("images/image name") on Mac to display images
When I change this on PC to @Embed("images/image name") images do not show Up
Don't know if I need to create two versions one for Mac one for PC
Don't know how this would affect product on Adobe Exchange

Having a problem with image IO and drawing image

My question did not come out on the other posting. I am getting them image from a JPanel. I then convert the image into a renderedimage. Use the ImageIO.write method to convert to png format. I don't want to save the image on the local disk so it is writted to a ByteArrayOutputStream. I get the bytes from this and insert this into a blob field type.
Then to paint the image onto the JPanel I try two methods to paint it on to the JPanel. I set the JPanel to be the width and size of the image. But I am getting a null pointer exception and I can't figure out why. If anyone could give me any suggestions I would really appreciate it.
rImage = convertToRenderedImage(draw.drawPanel.offScreen, width11, drawPanelHeight, type);
try{
bo = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
ImageIO.write(rImage, "png", bo);
imageBytes = bo.toByteArray();
}catch(IOException iox3)
System.err.println(iox3);
PreparedStatement statement12 = connection.prepareStatement(
"INSERT INTO feed VALUES(?,?,?,?,?,?);");
statement12.setBytes(2, imageBytes);
icon = new ImageIcon(rs.getBytes("file"));
image = icon.getImage();
//base is the JPanel
Graphics g2d = base.getGraphics();
bytes = rs.getBytes("file");
bInput = new ByteArrayInputStream(bytes);
try
bImage = ImageIO.read(bInput);
catch(IOException e21)
System.out.println("Error in imageIO transformation");
//image is Image and bimage is bufferedimage
image = bImage;
Graphics g2d = base.getGraphics();
g2d.drawImage(image, 0, 0, base);
g2d.drawImage(image, 0, 0, base);

Would it be possible for you to send out a small runnable testcase that I could try out with?
Thanks,
Kannan

Having a problem with the WiFI and the touch

Hi guys
First of all, I´d like to say that Im kinda an Apple rookie - this is my first ever Apple product ever, so I my knowledge is somewhere really low...
well, here goes... Happily i bought my new iPod in january stoked about all the cool features such as wifi, videos and so on. So there I was in a really good mood when I first got it up and running and found my 1st hotspot. (I had also bought the january software upgrade for mail and stuff) So then I tried loading a page in Safari and it gives me the message "Server cannot be found" - or something like that, you know - oh well I think, and try to open one of the other programs, but neither of those works... And yeah, Ive tried several networks but same results no matter where.
So, folks, do you have any idea of what could help me? Any help is appreciated!
by the way, in these months im housed in Ecuador - if that changes anything.
Thanks

Sometimes shutting the ipod down and restarting within the Wi-Fi hotspot works. (holding the on/off button for 5 seconds...)
Other times, i have found I had to go into the network settings on the ipod and toggle the DHCP settings a few times, or telling it to "Forget This Network" which will allow it to try to re-address itself on the network.
There are also some Wi-Fi hotspots that have wireless routers that are not so Mac-friendly... these will sometimes not provide an automatic IP address and must be manually changed to a static IP. If you can look at somebody else's laptop IP settings, usually you can manually configure the iPod touch to work with a fixed IP address that is a similar range to the laptops....
hope this helps.
