How are people monitoring this forum?

I've stopped regularly checking everything out here. I used to get a digest a few times a day and quickly scan everything. Now there doesn't seem to be anyway to get a digest and I don't seem to have the motivation to check the board very often. Just wondering how other people are handling it.

MICHAEL! Hey...it has been a while.
Yeah, I miss the digests too, but now I just visit the site and...well...read everything. How I find the time, I have no clue.
And the automated e-mail notifications no longer include the responses in the forum...then tell you to go and read it yourself.
sigh.
And reputations are still gone.
double sigh.

How are people connecting Mainstage to their PA systems?

How are people connecting Mainstage to their PA systems? I'm running my electric guitar into my MBP with a 1/4 jack and an adapter and am coming out of the headphone jack into a DI box and then into the sound system. On some patches I'm getting a lot of noise/unintended distortion and our sound guy is unsure of what to do, ( tried adjusting gain to no effect). is their a better way to route things?

Great Grains,
<< But what is the real advantage over the 1/4 adapter? >>
I don't know the presonus specifically - I have an RME and a Duet - but with an interface the advantages are; better converters = better sound, less latency (not 'no latency' but definitely a lot less),
better impedance (better plugs basically) for PAs, flexible outputs (stereo, multi channel, etc).
Realistically the little 1/8" ins and outs out on a computer are not very good, esp for real instruments, and there is tons of latency.
As to your question about Stereo mono and what to send the PA:
There's no real reason you can't send stereo (L+R, 1+2, whatever) to the house PA if you want. Depending on what level sound people you're dealing with some of them may not be open to running you stereo, esp if you play guitar and they are... let's say, set in their ways. They also may have limited a number of inputs. At higher level venues the PA rigs and sound people will do anything you want, do it really well and have a good time doing it.
To run mono;
1. In mainstage, put a gain plugin on the output channel and select 'mono' within the plugin.
2. Send one output (typically left for mono, but either is fine) of your presonus to the PA.
You can change from mono to stereo instantly with this setup (by selecting or unselecting mono within the gain plugin) to adjust for different situations.

For the good people of this forum

A great thanks to the good people of this forum. I got landed my dream job as a Java Developer today and wish to thank all the people in here which helped me out lots of times.
Thanks again

Man you are pessimistic, you are so going to die
young.Yeah, I am pessimistic you got that right. Butwhen
one has been in the software industry as long as I
have (a loooooong time), Oh, so it's already too late for the "die young" part?Depends on what "young" is defined as (it's subjective).
Without disclosing my actual age (prefer to remain as anonymous as I can), I should still have many years still ahead of me.

Does anyone from Adobe monitor this forum? Do they even care about this program?

I've clicked on many of the questions here as I try to learn how to use Story, but I have yet to see any responses from anyone at Adobe. It seems like they treat Story like an afterthought and don't care about its users. My frustration has grown more and more to the point now where I'm not going to use it any more, at least not until they add some basic functionality that is badly needed but missing. The tutorial section on Adobe TV, in one word, sucks. Badly. It's too bad, Story has some real potential, but Adobe has dropped the ball on it.

I monitor this forum, as well as, Adobe Story quality engineers and other staff. I often see responses from the quality engineers. If you post specifics, we can try to help.

Have you filed any feature requests? Here's the link: http://adobe.ly/feature_request
That's the best way to communicate with the team.

Boot loop... why are people experiencing this?

I've noticed that many people seem to put together a new sandy bridge computer and experience a boot loop.
my question is why are they seeing this happen? (asking out of pure curiosity)
improper install of cpu, psu, or bent pins?
I ask this because many people will write a bad review for whatever the company in question is. But a quick google
search and it seems like people across the board can get the same error regardless of manufacterer.
just seems odd to me as I built several sandy's now and never seen it in person.

:D The problem here is, that usually only people experiencing problems post. How many, like yourself, have not experienced boot cycles, or have managed to analyse and fix it themselves. We don't know.
That said, all those that I have had contact with that have not had issues, have followed some basic steps, i.e. reading the manual, start with 1 Ram module, ensure that XMP is disabled for a start, only add the bare minimum, ideally assemble outside the case initially, re-check CPU seating/pin imprints etc. A basic conservative approach in the initial set-up will probably halve the amount of problems experienced.
But its good to hear of people that do feedback to state their success with setting it up. Also see https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=146761.0
We appreciate your positive information.

To anyone in product management and tech support monitoring this forum

Since it would appear this is the "official" conduit to tech support now at SAS I am posting this here.
You've lost me as an Xcelsius 2008 user and it only took 24 hours to do so.
As I've posted to a few places on this board, the upgrade process had errors for me, and 2008 suddenly became unable to load per my post to this forum OVER 36 HOURS ago which has received 0 responses from anyone within tech support or SAS. New software I debated over spending my $ on. Decided to, and within a few hours I could not use it. And NO way to get anyone to assist in troubleshooting.
I'm not a newbie to development, with over 20 years developing hardware and software solutions for very demanding telephone operator customers around the world. I understand bugs, the need for patches, etc. although I do seriously question how stable this release really is. I mean if upgrades to existing 4.5 pro loads have issues dealing with Microsoft libraries, I do have to question how thoroughly tested this release really is.
What has completely destroyed my faith in Business Objects / SAS is the lack of any type of technical support per your new policies which just went into effect. I paid for the upgrade, downloaded the code, installed it (albeit with issues), lost the ability to run the code almost immediately, and went into a dark hole with no way out!
The telesales rep (who I'll let remain nameless less he get into trouble for helping) has been very professional and helpful. I wish I could say the same for others - but there are no others - just this forum to try and get help on. (and thanks to those that did respond - no offense intended, but where are the "official" SAS reps on this board and how can issues like mine where I am completely dead on a new install be highlighted and escalated for resolution?)
This is a business app, run by business users trying to do their jobs. I cannot fathom how SAS can and will be successful with Xcelcius if there is not some ability to receive priority (and yes, FREE) support - especially for install issues on code just purchased! Talk about creating severe buyer's remorse! I understand customer / techical service is expensive. I've built global call centers over my career for this purpose, and it's a fine line to walk between being able to provide a level of support expected by most customers, and also trying to not support the users for free who are perfectly content to spend hours each day on the phone with your highly professional reps basically having their work done for them.
But to not be able to get a response on a brand new install that has gone terribly wrong - and receive that response in a timely manner is just flat out wrong. It's a $1k software package - not freeware!
So for now, I'll drop back to 4.5 (although I must admit part of me is wondering how much of our dashboard work can now be done without your software. Bad taste in my mouth at this point) and chalk up the hours lost this week to a really bad experience with your company.
Comment if you will, but please take this comment to heart. I had the guts to write it. Wonder how many others are just not saying anything at all?

Fully Agree!
Waiste of time and money. I am sooooo, pissed off. Zero technical support, lack of confidence in this product. I used the 4,5 version- much better and reliable vs. this Engage2008 piece of software.....
I would NOT recommend buying it on all the other forums I am active on.
TOMORROW is the deadline for SP1 - I hope they don't have the guts of asking money for it.

How to Search in this Forum?

This isn't a Dreamweaver question, but a Dreamweaver Forum question. From this forum I type a search keyword in the "Search Forums" box on the top right. But the results are for all the Adobe forums. I have never had this problem with any other forums except Adobe forums. Without having to go into more options and then scrolling down thru this list of All Adobe programs, how can I simply seach this forum, the forum I am already in?

How are people performing virus scans on uploads?

I am going to be starting an application shortly that will accept uploaded files from 3rd parties. Luckily they will not be annonymous but you never know if a friendly source may have become infected without thier knowledge.
So my question is how are other APEX developers ensuring that the files they receive are clean? Does running a real-time AV on the webserver scan temporary files hitting somewhere under /www or does APEX load each bit directly into the BLOB, effectively bypassing scanning? I've searched a bit but was unable to find anything concrete here on the forums.
I'm debating dropping the file to the file system for scanning before it is accessible by our internal users but if that is unnecessary I don't have to worry about it.
Thank you,
Kelley

Kelley,
Another option (in addition to those suggested) is to integrate with a content scanning service that supports the ICAP protocol, such as Symantec:
http://www.symantec.com/business/products/overview.jsp?pcid=2242&pvid=836_1
Essentially you let the user upload the file, then stream it across using UTL_TCP etc to your scanning service and check the result that is passed back (depending on your server setup you can choose to scan for viruses and/or check for content type to detect certain 'categories' that you might want to block).
It requires a bit of leg-work on you part to code the streaming, but it's not too bad once you understand how the ICAP protocol works (it's just a protocol that you need to learn to send the correct information to the server and know how to receive the content).
Hope this helps,
John.

How are people on ebay and the web factory unlocking iPhones?

Hi,
Can someone please shed some light on how people are offering factory unlock services for any iphone on eBay and on the internet? It seems to cost roughly the same through most of them (£40-50 for Orange UK).
The reason for this question is that my brother does mobile phone repairs and unlocks, he has a device that will unlock Blackberry's and other phones, although he has never been able to find out how it works with the iphone. From my understanding the iphones IMEI has to be submitted to the Apple whitelist. If this is correct, how are these 3rd party companies doing this? Do they pay for access to the list or do they know somebody on the inside? I was of the opinion that only the official carrier could perform a factory unlock, obviously im wrong!

That was my thoughts exactly, but how would you explain this site then? www.megara1n.com It is not installing any software on the phone and upon reading the reviews for it, it is not a scam and seems to be using the Whitelist as it does not lose the unlock when updating. This is just one example, there is a guy using the same method on ebay with over 500 sales and 100% feedback. There must be another way they are doing it. There are scammers on ebay asking for people to send their phones in to them which im sure will either be jailbroken or never returned!
I am aware of the un-authorised methods of which you speak, jailbreak, gevey sim etc and I know that these methods used above are none of these.

How are peoples replacement iPhone 4's?

Im thinking of replacing mine because of a yellow spot and a wiggly home button but 9/10 displays were wiggly too so my question is how are all of your replacements compared to the one you had before?

Wankirby wrote:
iPhoneMac5 you're full of it. you expect us to believe that you just walked in a store and they just happened to have a phone waiting for you to exchange eh? yeah when 1,000s of people who pre-ordered(me) and people who are on apple's in-store "priority" waiting list are still waiting for their phones?!? C'MON SON!!!
the kicker is where u ask,
iPhoneMac5 wrote:
hace you gotten a replacement? cant i just test out the replacement with mine to compare?
why are you asking this if you've already been to the store and exchanged phones already?
you're a liar, and a bad one at that
Why don't you think or do some research before ripping someone or calling someone a liar? Yes, Apple Stores do carry a stock of iP4's dedicated solely for replacing problemattic or non-functional phones that people have already purchased and paid for. Don't believe me? Call your local Apple Store and ask them!
You see, I know this for a fact. How, you say??? Because I went through this very process myself. I was lucky enough to get in on the first wave of iP4's and received mine on the 24th. Unfortunately, it had a screen issue and suffered from the 'No SIM' issue. I called our local Apple Store on the 28th to ask if I could get it replaced fully expecting them to say I had wait since ATT and Apple shutdown pre-orders due to the high demand. I went in the next day, calling numerous times and speaking to numerous people just to make sure they did in fact have stock and I wouldn't be turned away when I got there, and what do you know, they got me in and out of there in 10 minutes with a brand new replacement unit.
I had a buddy of mine on the order waiting list so I asked the Genius if they had any units available for purchase. He said no they sold out of the "for purchase" units the day before and only had a stock for replacing malfunctioning phones. So yes, son, they do carry a stock of replacement-only units. Shocking, isn't it!?!?!!
What, do you really think Apple is going to tell people who ALREADY own the phone that they can't get a replacement if it's bad? The manufacturer has to honor the warranty buyers have already paid for. Sure, people who don't already own the phone are upset that the stock is low and demand is high and they have to wait. But what do you think would happen if people who have already purchased the phone and find they have a bad unit and Apple can't live up to the warranty that they contractually agreed to at time of purchase? Can you say lawsuit? I'm not a lawyer, but I don't think Apple can get sued by someone on the waiting list over the limited stock issue. However, they can certainly get sued over not honoring a full-service new item warranty contract.
