Hi I have a technical question regarding my CD drive

my guitar pick was on my desk and it managed to get wedged in my CD drive.. I can't see it or get it out however discs seem to go in and out fine..is there anything I should do?
I have a Macbook from December 2009

Hi thanks for answering.
how would you make the gateway and the certificate comply with this.
my gateway certificate is connectgw.companyname.com IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
my web server certificate is connect.companyname.com IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
the ConnectionBroker only allows one Gateway?

Technical question regarding xml:lang...

Greetings,
I have a bit of a technical question regarding language alternative (Lang Alt), are these valid statements if there is no alternatives (using dc:title as an example):
1)
This is a test title
2)
This is a test title
3)
This is a test title
Are these values valid, or is there an obligration to put them in an rdf:Alt ?? In my head 1 and 2 are valid, but no 3, am I right?
Thanks!

Hi, I want to downgrade from OSX LEOPARD to OSX TIGER but I have a few questions regarding this. My iMac is originally from 2007 it came preloaded with tiger. I have original install tiger discs version 10.4.10. Is it safe to downgrade or not please help

Hi, I want to downgrade from OSX LEOPARD to OSX TIGER but I have a few questions regarding this. My iMac is originally from Sep 2007 it came preloaded with tiger. I have original install (2) tiger discs version 10.4.10. I want to know if it is safe and what are the necessary steps to do so. Also by downgrading im wondering if a lot of apps nowadays support tiger for example I have photoshop version 5 and 4 these are very important to me. One last question does anyone know of any reliable virus protection for mac that doesnt slow down your computer? because I have read that a lot of them do so. If anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it! Here are the specs for my iMac
Model Name:
iMac
Model Identifier:
iMac7,1

Most of the time a perception of general slow performance is the result of installing third party junk alleged to speed up, "clean" or "optimize" your Mac, or to look for viruses that don't exist. Ideally you would know what you installed so you can uninstall it, but if you don't know or aren't sure there are techniques such as Safe Mode and creating a temporary user account to confirm that suspicion.
If you open Activity Monitor it may show a process, or processes, that occupy a lot of your system's time.
Slowness confined solely to web browser activity is often the result of an inexorable progress toward websites that demand ever more processor-intensive tasks. If your slow performance is strictly limited to web browsing, you might try disabling Flash by either uninstalling it, or use utilities such as ClickToFlash that allow you to control what Flash content gets loaded. Flash in itself is not inherently evil, but there is nothing to stop websites or the advertisers who pay for them from writing horrible Flash code that can do everything from hogging 100% of your CPU's time to causing random crashes. You can watch Activity Monitor as in the above to correlate these troublesome web pages with performance degradation.
You are correct; if your computer shipped with Tiger you may certainly revert to it. I forgot that Tiger was shipping on new Macs as recently as five years ago. To downgrade it would be necessary to completely erase your hard disk and boot with the Tiger installation DVD, followed by installing it anew. Such drastic measures are not necessary and you are unlikely to be satisfied with the results anyway.
Assuming your system is free of third party parasitic junk attached to OS X in an ill-conceived attempt to improve upon it, that your hard disk drive is sound and the boot volume has enough free space to work with, by far the best performance-enhancing improvement would be to add more memory. Buy as much as your computer can use and that you can afford. 2 GB is not that much any more.

I have a few questions regarding ADT.

First, please check my understanding of ADT.
ADT is a set of specifications which tells how the data is to be operated and structured. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Now, here are the questions.
1. What are the atomic and structured ADT? I was googling around but I couldn't find the information about them anywhere.
2. what is the difference between the specification and the implementation of an ADT?
Also, if you have a website which has a detailed information regarding ADT please tell me the website.
thank you!

Technical Question regarding TCP Ports

Morning All
The Set up - 1xXP PC running BTNP and 1xWin7 Laptop running MSE
1xBTHHV2.0B
1xBTVision box (currently not connected)
I have posted elsewhere on here about strange results regarding attempts (via UDP ports) to connect to my PC and have been trying to stop this or even look into who, what and why. At this present time BTNP has been manually configured to report everything and I'm getting some interesting attempts. Anyway googling this, that and the other has sent me in the direction of TCP Ports.
Upon opening "netstat" via a command prompt on the PC it shows that 4 TCP Ports are currently "established" and 1 is showing "close_wait". All these refer to the localhost:**** which I guess is okay?
However, opening "netstat" on the Laptop shows 8 TCP Ports are currently "TIME_WAIT" (in the state section) and 1 refering to which IP the laptop is assigned with and the www IP address. It's the 8 I'm slightly concerned about. They refer to what I believe is the BT Vision server IP address (127.0.0.1). The same address is found on the BTV box.
Apparently, to block TCP connections the user needs to manually configure the router firewall which AFAIK can't be done on the BTHH2.0B.
So here's the Q's
1) Is it normal to have a computer TCP connection with what appears to be BT Vision?
2) If not how do I block/close the TCP ports without using a router firewall that appear to be BT Vision?
3) Why would the BTV IP address be dispalyed if the box has not been connected for some time?
None technical replies would be good

@ Roger.
Wow what a read!
Am I correct to assume that UDP transmissions are safe as they don't go anywhere as the firewall stops them? I'm still intrigued as to why various transmissions are attempted (ie. microconnect, BTVision, Binary Trojan maker etc etc etc).
Currently re reading yet again and will post regarding TCP...........
.............TCP has to make a connection? A packet is sent from A to B and back to A. It is then that data can be exchanged. A and B's serial numbers can also be exchanged. Then when they have a full 'duplex' connection, A and B can send data to the each other anytime they want. And all A has to do is just give the operating system some stuff to send?
That worries me or am I reading into this the wrong way?

Very technical question regarding HDMI ARC

Hi all, I'm planning out a HT purchase, and I plan on setting it up like this: Devices (Cable/PS4) -> TV (via HDMI)TV -> 2.1 ch Soundbar (via...) For the TV to Soundbar connection, I could just use an Optical connection, get 2.1ch lossless via Linear PCM and call it a day and be happy. But the HDMI ARC connection has me intreugied, and where my questions come in. 1.) Can I use HDMI ARC even if I NEVER have the TV's input set to the soundbar source (ie. making it a passive upstream audio only and essentially replacing the role of a Toslink Optical connection). 2.) If this even can be done, would I still get the benefit of Controlling the soundbar through my TV remote? (via Control through HDMI 3.) Lastly, would I still get the same S/PDIF, 2.1ch lossless audio LPCM this way? If it matters, the planned purchases are:TV: Sony X850CSoundbar: Sony HT-CT780 I've asked on some technical A/V forums before but no good response to this yet - maybe because my setup plan is an odd one, usually HDMI ARC is there to prevent the need for another cable (like Optical) but if I can get control from HDMI I think its worth investigating. Thanks!

I know it's a lot later but I wanted to give credit where credit is due. I wound up toying with the system myself and it works fine, and what Dimestore said is true.
The ARC protocol is passive in the sense that it's constantly feeding back despite the input of the TV
And honestly, the communication between the Sony devices is great. In fact, the TV itself can read the different inputs through to the soundbar and display them as separate inputs on the TV. It's pretty cool.
Thank you both for your responses!

Technical question regarding Video Preview options in Seq Settings

I am trying to wrap my head around some of the unique differences between FCP7 and PrP 5.5. What is the function of the Video Preview choices in the Sequence Setting menu? It seems standardized to I Frame Only MPEG with other options depending on what your source footage is. Why would I use this setting as opposed to 1080 (for an AJA sequence made from Prores footage) or P2 (for an Adobe seq built from the same Prores footage) or Red which gives you no options then the one I just mentioned?
In FCP when things were rendered they were used when I would export the sequence. Is PrP 5.5 the same? If I am previewing a 1080 sequence in I Frame Only MPEG, does that mean on output the whole entire sequence and effects need rendering? What is the best work flow when using Adobe or AJA sequences in regard to this Video Preview setting? It is so different from what I am used to I want to make informed choices.

Maximum Bit Depth is only suitable when ingesting 4:2:2 material and exporting with AJA or BM
Oh, man... not again. This is not true, at all. Maximum Bit Depth has nothing to do with 4:2:2 AJA or BlackMagic. And Maximum Bit Depth is not just for use with 10-bit or greater source footage. It can be used with 8-bit material--DV, H.264, MPEG2, anything--to great benefit.
(The following is copied and pasted since I've written it so many times...)
What Maximum Bit Depth (either in the Sequence Settings or in the Export Settings) does is enable Premiere Pro to render and composite in 32-bit floating point color. It has nothing (or at least, little) to do with the source footage, but controls how effects and transformations that shift pixels around are rendered. Any effect in the Effects panel that has a 32-bit badge on it will benefit from Maximum Bit Depth--the expense is greater memory requirements and processing time, but the payoff is a higher degree of color fidelity and precision in the rendered image. Gaussian Blur, for example, is a 32-bit effect that will show a great difference between when it is rendered with MBD on versus when it is off--even if you're rendering/exporting to an 8-bit format, like DV.
From Karl Soule's article on this topic, The Video Road – Understanding Color Processing: 8-bit, 10-bit, 32-bit, and more:
A DV file with a blur and a color corrector exported to DV without the max bit depth flag. We will import the 8-bit DV file, apply the blur to get an 8-bit frame, apply the color corrector to the 8-bit frame to get another 8-bit frame, then write DV at 8-bit.
A DV file with a blur and a color corrector exported to DV with the max bit depth flag. We will import the 8-bit DV file, apply the blur to get an 32-bit frame, apply the color corrector to the 32-bit frame to get another 32-bit frame, then write DV at 8-bit. The color corrector working on the 32-bit blurred frame will be higher quality then the previous example.
A DV file with a blur and a color corrector exported to DPX with the max bit depth flag. We will import the 8-bit DV file, apply the blur to get an 32-bit frame, apply the color corrector to the 32-bit frame to get another 32-bit frame, then write DPX at 10-bit. This will be still higher quality because the final output format supports greater precision.
A DPX file with a blur and a color corrector exported to DPX without the max bit depth flag. We will clamp 10-bit DPX file to 8-bits, apply the blur to get an 8-bit frame, apply the color corrector to the 8-bit frame to get another 8-bit frame, then write 10-bit DPX from 8-bit data.
A DPX file with a blur and a color corrector exported to DPX with the max bit depth flag. We will import the 10-bit DPX file, apply the blur to get an 32-bit frame, apply the color corrector to the 32-bit frame to get another 32-bit frame, then write DPX at 10-bit. This will retain full precision through the whole pipeline.
A title with a gradient and a blur on a 8-bit monitor. This will display in 8-bit, may show banding.
A title with a gradient and a blur on a 10-bit monitor (with hardware acceleration enabled.) This will render the blur in 32-bit, then display at 10-bit. The gradient should be smooth.
What Maximum Bit Depth does is allow Premiere Pro's rendering engine to have more room to run, with a higher degree of precision. It's important to remember that rendering internally is different than exporting--and even when you're "rendering" previews, you're actually exporting, because you're creating composited video files of one sort or another. That's why there is a Maximum Bit Depth checkbox in the Sequence Settings--that affects preview files, not exports. When you're using hardware MPE, you're always operating in MBD--or more specifically, you're rendering in 32-bit linear color. Generally, this is "better," though I've lamented about the negative effects of linear color processing, e.g. annoying opacity differences on dissolves, shaggy alpha channels, etc.
The bottom line is that Maximum Bit Depth allows Premiere Pro to generate better (subjective), more technically accurate (objective) output, regardless of the input and output format.

Have 3 technical questions with QuickTime formats. Can you help?

Hi everyone,
I have 4 questions.
1)
If you were to rate the following file wrappers on a scale of 1 of 10 (10 offering the highest quality, 1 offering the lowest quality), what would you give the following file wrappers:
MPEG-1
MPEG-2
MPEG-4
MP4
.AVI
.MOV
.FLV
2)
Also, can you give a brief one sentence overview of how efficient each of the above file wrappers are. I've tried Wikipedia, but they don't really put it in laymans' terms.
3)
Which of the following file wrappers are lossy, and which are uncompressed???
MPEG-1
MPEG-2
.AVI
.MOV
MP4
MPEG-4
.FLV
4)
Is there an uncompressed file wrapper you can upload your video to?
Thanks,
rc444
please email me [email protected] as I need this information urgently for my school assignment.

Wrong methodology for your questions.
It's what's inside the wrappers (codecs) that determine file size and quality.
All of those file extension use some level of compression and all are lossy.
The real answer is another question. "What is the format of your source video"? A DV digital camera would come into the computer at 13 GB's per hour and this .dv file can be edited using many different applications.
When you use these .dv files there is no loss in quality from your source. But at 13 GB's per hour the file size make an impractical delivery dilemma. You're forced, in most cases, to export to a delivery media (DVD, Web based files or CD's) and then you much choose other codecs and wrappers.
So now you must ask other questions. "How will my files be viewed"? "How small must the file size be based on the delivery media"? "How much compression and what codecs should I use"?
What do you have and where is it going to be viewed?

Technical question regarding network settings

There does not seem to be much "answered questions" on this forum -- more like a gripe forum - but I'll give it a shot:
I occassionally do file transfers between my mac and pc, using a connected ethernet cable -- and have had no problems with this until after I did a successful transfer today. Then I was not able to do another. I looked at my Local Area Connection settings - Details - and noticed that the Autoconfiguration IPv4 address that was once there, was no longer there. This may explain why the mac was not able to 'find' the pc -- but I'm not sure. Looking at other sites on the web, it appears there should not only be a Autoconfiguration IPv4 address (which was there before, because I took the IP address 169.254.xxx.xx address from there before) - but there also should be an Autoconfiguration IPv4 'enabled' [yes] setting there also, which also does not appear in my settings. I suspect I must have inadvertantly changed a setting when I did the last transfer, but do not know what or how to correct it. Thank you!

Some questions if you do not mind:
#1 What kind of cable is it?
#2 Is this cable connected directly to the two computers or do you have a cable for those two computers connected to something else?
#3 If you have a cable for those two computers connected to something else, what is the band and model of that something else? For example I have my computers connected to a Linksys E4200v1
#4 Regardless if this cable connected directly to the two computers or do you have a cable for those two computers connected to something else, do you know how to setup a Static IP on your computer?

I have a technical question on PSU's

I'm including a photo of PSU like mine. except mine had a few small difference. . My PSU is an fsp400-60 pn(fp) and my output is 400 watts. other than that the rest of the wattages and AMPs are the same. I will admit I don't know alot about PSU's other than I usually ask what I need and usually try to buy a step above that to make sure that I have a little extra if needed. is what I have going to cause me any problems? It doesn't seem to so far? DeMaxx

Doe anyone know anything about this PSU the stats look pretty good from what you guys was telling me!!

Technical question regarding ptcor code

Hello,
I have the following problem with my custom PTCOR application: (WTimeCor is the actual application name)
When I submit all time events, do a EXECUTE_DELEGATE in PTCOR_UIA_FORM_DELEGATE and then execute the method restartService(); of VCConfirmation, everything works fine but the overview falls back to the current week.
When I try saving anything afterwards (deleting, modifying, creating) without using restartService() before, I get the following BAPI Error:
No customizing for status type COR, status POSTED, transition event SEND
any property I need to reset? like FORM_DIRTY or setting a different request-id?
thank you very much

thanks for you answer. I sense it may be some kind of unfinished workflow.
I tried to skip review steps inside the application and save the modification all at once, which means:
PTCOR_UIA_FORM_PREPARE with IM_COMMAND "CREATE"
FORM_ACCEPT with IM_COMMAND "ACCEPT_SEND" (copy request-id and structure content from FORM_PREPARE output)
FORM_DELEGATE with IM_COMMAND "NEXT"
and
FORM_DELEGATE with IM_COMMAND "EXECUTE_DELEGATE"
all triggered from WD Java. I took these FM from the original PTCOR application, I don't know if there's a FM that saves a time event without any workflow steps.
Now what restartService() does is, it navigates via the FPM back to the application so the application is created anew, PTCOR customizing is being read and WEEKLY_CALENDAR is read as well (if I understood that correctly). It seems to initialize a new workflow so I am able to save a new time event to via the above method.
Best Regards

A technical question regarding NOKIA 301 Dual SIM

Several days ago I bought new NOKIA 301 Dual SIM.
It is equipped with charger NOKIA AC-20E, input AC 100 - 240 V/120 mA, output DC 5V/750 mA.
Also, I have several other (old or non-Nokia) chargers:
1) NOKIA AC-10E, input AC 100 - 240 V/160 mA, output DC 5V/1200 mA;
2) NOKIA AC-3E, input AC 100 - 240 V/60 mA, output DC 5V/350 mA (for this charger, I have proper adaptor for NOKIA 301 Dual SIM);
3) USB charger L-STAR , input AC 100 - 240 V, output DC 5V/1000 mA+/-5%
May I use these above listed (old or non-Nokia) chargers for charging my new NOKIA 301 Dual SIM (or which of them are compatible with NOKIA 301 Dual SIM)? Thank you.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Choose the one with output 5V, 1200mA or the one which came for your phone, output 5V, 750mA.
More the output mA, the faster battery will charge. I don't recommend non Nokia ones.
Hope this helps.

Another technical question regarding NOKIA 301 Dua...

Sunday I was in the mountain where the network coverage was very sparse or missing. Of course, my phone lost the operator signal. But when I arrived again in the town (where the operators signal is normal), the phone could not manage to find the operator signal (SIM 1) again. After restarting the phone by switching off and on, the phone registered both operators signals (SIM 1 and SIM 2 ) normally. Do you think that this situation is normal? For example, my old phones (1680, 1650 and 6303) always manage to find the operator signal when, after disappearance, the network coverage appeared again, without need to restart them. Thank you.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Well.. I'd say its normal and maybe its a better thing to do. When under no network coverage for a prolonged period, my Nokia 311 does not register to network even when I'm finally in the network coverage area.
The point is that the phone gives up and stops trying hard to find the network coverage when it is not able to receive any network for a prolonged period. This is actually good as the phone will firstly stop wasting its battery just to keep the antennas highly sensitive and look for network.
That said, i think it still keeps trying to find the coverage, but the attempts are done not in immediate succession. I'm able to say this as sometimes my phone catches up the network again by the time I really reach home after entering the coverage area.
Whatever it is, I'm sure a restart won't hurt much especially if it helps in saving battery and also to save you from the high radiations the antennae emits while looking for the network in no coverage areas.

Question regarding DVD/CD Drive on intel imac...

My intel imac dvd drive is playing up. Its spinning longer than it should, making noises it shouldnt be and generally rejecting perfectly good DVD/CDs.
My warrenty ran out and now I need a replacement. I called up Amsys; a company here in the Uk which deal with apple repairs and I was astounded at the quote I was given. £70 labour and £180 for the drive..£250 just for a DVD drive!?! I couldnt believe it.
So, Im asking you the forum, what can I do? Yes I could get an external I suppose but is there another option? Could I get the right DVD drive from anywhere else and install it myself? Is that difficult?
Any help would be apprecated.
Cheers

"Playing Up???" You mean "Acting Up???" Gosh, I wish you Brits would speak ENGLISH!!!
Since your warranty is up, a new DVD drive wouldn't be that hard to replace, if you're competent with electronics. There are many websites with step-by-step instructions. (ifixit.com for one.) Go for it! Go with a better quality one that comes with the iMac. My new Aluminum iMac's DVD drive sounds and rejects perfectly good DVDs as your does. Cheapos???
Cheers!
Have a Guinness for me.
