How does After Effects work for you guys?

Love to hear feedback!

After Effects has been a stable and fabuously fun, ultimatley indispensible and valuable application on all of my Macintoshes since After Effects was called CoSA.
If you're looking for complaints, try asking, "What will not work for me in After Effects?" But that will depend on your hardware and your ability to learn this unbelievably deep and complex application.

How does time machine work for you ?

TimeMacine writes two files per time block and sometimes one like it should.
When I look over drive with Finder it seems okay to me. The plist telling
it which files are not included seems okay. The killer when I try to see what
could be restored TimeMachine silently fails to open.

Do you mean the "Star Wars" display won't appear? If so, see #E4 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
If not, please clarify.

How does your SEO work if you move your website to another host?

How does your SEO work if you move your website to another host?
Thank you,

Hi Michael
Moving the hosting alone, should not impact the seo. Changing the site host means changing the locations of file, so no impact. However, I found a video which will help to understand this
Do let me know if you have any question.

Vinagre vnc client -- does the scaling work for you?

hello fellaz,
i tried vinagre from aur (both vinagre and vinagre-tweak) but scaling option was disabled, although i think it should work (gtk-vnc has been compiled with --with-gtkglext=yes). does it work for you?
thanks for reply,
joe

my self-built packages don't work with scaling aswell.
however, vinagre should be in extra anyway, as it is officially part of gnome 2.22, so it should be in gnome-extra.

Does BT Openzone work for you?

I live in Central London and work in the City so I often find that my iPhone has connected to BT Openzone or The Cloud if WiFi is on.
The reason I usually discover this is that it is taking an age to download something or to move to the next page in Safari. I usually have to switch off WiFi in order to get the much faster connection I can get in 3G.
There is Cloud WiFi at Arsenal's Emirates Stadium and that appears occasionally on the phone but I can never get any downloads during a match via Cloud or 3G.
All in all, it seems to me that the public wi-fi connection to the iPhone is useless and the only useful such connection is a personal/corporate one.
What are other people's experiences? Am I doing something wrong?

I just had FIOS installed (TV, internet, phone) last week. Everything is working great. Except this. I've researched/tried lots of things unsuccessfully. "Home Agent" doesn't know DVR Manager exists. Neither does the online Automated Agent. I tried Verizon's online chat help, but their suggestions didn't help either. I'm wondering if it works for anyone, or is it some discontinued-but-still-advertised feature.
If DVR Manager works for you, please tell me what you did to get it to work.
-dbir
Yes, has worked for years. And while I don't use it very much, I just checked, still works fine.
Have you gone into the Menu on the DVR and set up the FiOS TV Remote DVR dialog? If not, you need to do so. You will need to set up a Parental Control PIN to access the dialog if you have not done so.
Menu ==> Settings ==> FiOS TV Remote DVR ==> Web Access ==> and enable it (at least that is what I remember you had to do at that point)
Hope this helps.

Audigy 2 ZS Distortion Issues With Vista - See if this solution works for you guys

First of All Creative - It's sad, really sad that you really haven't supported your customers. As such a big maker of excellent products, I'm disappointed to know that you have barely provided driver support to your customers. I've been buying Creative products since 1997 - Also - I purposely upgraded my sound card on my Hp Media Center to an Audigy 2 ZS. Secondly - I formatted my computer and re-installed Vista. Before that, the sound card i.e. the sound worked fine (after a lot of trial and errors with different drivers, i somehow managed to get it working without Snap, Crackle and Pop Issues. In other words, I experienced distorted playback when I first installed Vista. Now that I re-installed Vista - Everything installed but as usual - only issue: Yup, you guessed it right.
Creative Audigy 2 ZS Infamous Snap Crackle Pop (SCP) I did try k_daniels drivers and even though I applaud for his efforts - unfortunately it didn't work for me but i'm sure they would if you did the following - ) Uninstall all Creative Drivers Using Driver Sweep2) Do not install the driver through Windows Update (did not work for me)3) Install latest drivers from Creative or K_Daniel's Package4) Install Vista Codec Pack5) Install DirectX06) Then do the following: Got this sorted. Hope it works for everyone..found the answer searching Google.
Right click VOLUME icon in taskbar
Click PLAYBACK DEVICES
Right click SPEAKERS
Click PROPERTIESClick ADVANCED Make sure there's no tick marks in any of the options there including ENHANCEMENTS.
This should sort it. [After doing all this, I have no sound issues whatsoever - Crystal Clear Audio Quality but still not better then XP] I am planning to try K_Daniels pack with all the extra applications and I'll post later on in regards to my experience with the pack. Good Luck P.S: Hope this helps somebody because doing all that helped me get back the audio clarity I was looking for without any distortion whatsoever.

Hi xmins
Im not using a decoder, only an amplifier alone with two speakers ... My cable is plugged in line out , and then plugged on line in of the amplifier.
The distortion is very audible, in HL 2, Battlefield 2, etc
When got a explosion, a shot from shotgun, missile, the sound comes distorted ...
Any more hints?

Does After Effects works on Intel HD Graphics 3000???

I was planning to install After Effects CS6, but is it supported for Intel HD Graphics 3000??? I hope to hear a response really soon.

How does OOB breadcrumbs work for multisite environment

Hi
I am currently using CatalogNavHistory and CatalogNavHistoryCollector to display breadcrumbs in my catalog pages.
My doubt is with ATG10.1 we are using multisite environment for our project. So one category will be part of more than one site.
So how does OOB CatalogNavHistory and CatalogNavHistoryCollector handle the breadcrumbs for these scenario?
Thanks

Dear KK,
IF You want to use the EURO currency as transaction currency and Your Local currency is Australian Dollar, the System correectly will take the Exchange rate EURX.
EURO is used for the old european currencies
EURX for all the other foreign currencies
EMU indicator that means European Monetary Union has to be flagged if the referency currency is EUR.
I hope this can help You.

Does my applet work for you?

I can see it fine on my PC but nobody else can view it.
http://www.info.com.ph/~arivera/game/testmain.html
I'm using SDK 1.4.2

I'm trying to learn how to use
MediaTracker right now - having some kind of problem
where I try and wait for all the images to load but it
would still run without having loaded everything.
I usually just use a boolean status, and while the "loaded" boolean is false, I dont even let the other game code run. Quick example:
import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class Example extends Applet implements Runnable {
     Image buffer,images[];
     int w,h;
     boolean loaded;
     public void init() {
          loaded = false;
          w = getSize().width;
          h = getSize().height;
          buffer = createImage(w,h);
          new Thread(this).start();
     public void run() {
          while (true) {
               if (!loaded) { // not loaded?
                    loaded = load(); // try to load the images
               else {
                    // game processing
               Graphics g = buffer.getGraphics();
               if (g != null) paint(g); // try an active render
               else repaint(); // passive rend if active fails
               try {
                    Thread.sleep(10);
               catch (InterruptedException e) {
                    break;
     /* you should use a boolean loader so you can know
     * if the load fails or not */
     protected boolean load() {
          images = new Image[] { // images to load
               getImage("sprite.gif"),
               getImage("background.gif"),
               getImage("level.gif"),
               getImage("whatever.gif")
          MediaTracker m = new MediaTracker(this);
          for (int j = 0;j < images.length;j++) {
               m.addImage(images[j],j);
          try {
               m.waitForAll();
          catch (InterruptedException e) {
               return false; // there was an error, load failed
          /* the final step is to return whether or not MediaTracker didnt have a problem */
          return !m.isErrorAny(); // hopefully will return true
     protected Image getImage(String s) {
          return getImage(getCodeBase(),s);
     public void paint(Graphics g) {
          Graphics gfx = buffer.getGraphics();
          if (!loaded) {
               gfx.setColor(Color.black);
               gfx.fillRect(0,0,w,h);
               gfx.setColor(Color.white);
               gfx.drawString("Loading...",10,10);
          else {
               // game painting
          g.drawImage(buffer,0,0,null);
     public void update(Graphics g) {

I think the applet works if you have JRE 1.4 or above.
My friends can't seem to view it - so I'll put a note
on the webpage saying it requires JRE 1.4 or above.Well if you're sure you're using methods and classes that are available to previous versions of JRE, you can use the -target attribute to fix that problem. Like if you wanted JRE 1.2 and higher to run the applet instead of just 1.4, you'd compile:
javac -target 1.2 file.javaBy default JDK1.4 will compile it so only JRE1.4+ can view it (which means you'd need the plugin).

How does group message work for the iphone5?

I want to send out the same message to everyone instead of creating a new thread for each person and I don't want them to see the names of the other people that I am sending it to. Does turning of group message prevent the group chat or will they still everyone's names? Thanks.

This happening because you guys are sharing the same apple id, you can continue to share it or create a separate one for each user. You'll have to make sure that for icloud - each users have their own apple id.
Then go into settings - message - send&receive - make sure the phone number is the default.

How does "Find iPhone" work for a wifi-only iPad?

My wife's iPad is in out home on a satellite internet connection, in the country, connected to our router which assigns it an internal IP address. Yet when I log into Find iPhone from my iPhone, it shows up right inside the house most of the time, within 200' or so other times. Now the "circle of uncertainty" is larger then my wife's iPhone, it's still pretty accurate given the way it's connected. This baffles me.
Thanks,
Gamma

That doesn't answer HOW the database determined the router location to begin with./message-abuse!input.jspa?objectID=28092111&objectType=2
It does – the OP is using multiple iOS devices, the iPhones have GPS which is used to submit data to Apple via the diagnostics & usage. It may also come from other iOS users who have the same feature enabled.

I suspect the reason that your cellular iPad is getting accurate locations is because your modem is broadcasting a wifi access point. IP's are a poor indicator of location, despite what CSI tells you
That access point will be added to Apples database. Your iPhone has a setting that will help with this… 'Settings > General > Usage > Diagnostics & usage', if Automatically send is enabled then you are reporting anonymous data to Apple, including the location of the networks you use, the same network that is in range for the iPad. Apple is using iOS to crowd source the data.
Not true at all. A cellular iPad also has a GPS receiver and it obtains location information from GPS. GPS signals are separate from and completely unrelated to both the Internet and the cellular telephone network. GPS signals come directly from the GPS satellites. They provide signals that allow GPS receivers to calculate latitude and longitude information. Software inside the device translates latitude/longitude into landmark information, such as street addresses.
I was referring to the GPS on the iPhone.
I know how GPS works thanks, I can see 4 satellites in this hemisphere, the others are out of view
I was also assuming this was a wifi iPad (no cellular, no GPS) - hence the reason for the original poster surprise. However I may have simply read 'wife's iPad' as 'wifi iPad'?

How does Dynamic Quorum work for a two Node DAG

Hi All,
I have a two node DAG with a FS witness server. One of the node is 'down' (I have kept it like that), cluster has quorum and all services are online.
What I'm trying to understand is if a node's State=Down, isn't the Dynamic Quorum Group Manager suppose to trigger and set the DynamicWeight to '0' for that server.
In my case its not doing so, please let me know if this the way it is, or something is not quite right and I need to fix it.
Troubleshooting info below:
PS C:\Windows\system32> Get-ClusterNode | ft name, dynamicweight, state, nodeweight,id -AutoSize
Name DynamicWeight State NodeWeight Id
exch1 1 Down 1 1
exch2 1 Up 1 2
PS C:\Windows\system32> (Get-Cluster).WitnessDynamicWeight

PS C:\Windows\system32> Get-ClusterResource
Name State OwnerGroup ResourceType
Cluster IP Address Online Cluster Group IP Address
Cluster Name Online Cluster Group Network Name
File Share Witness (\\fs1... Online Cluster Group File Share Witness
(Validation test)
Validate Quorum Configuration
Description: Validate
that the current quorum configuration is optimal for the cluster.
Validating cluster quorum settings.
Witness Type: File Share Witness
Witness Resource: \\fs1.contoso.com\dag1.contoso.com
Cluster managed voting: Enabled

exch2
Up

This quorum model will be able to sustain failures of 1 node(s) if the file share witness remains available
and 0 node(s) when the file share witness goes offline or fails.
This quorum configuration can be changed using the Configure Cluster Quorum wizard. This wizard can be started from the Failover
Cluster Manager console by selecting the cluster name in the left hand pane, then in the right "actions" pane selecting "More Actions..." and then selecting "Configure Cluster Quorum Settings...".
When all servers were up
node/2+1 = 2/2+1=2 required for quorum and we have 3 votes
When 1 server gone 1/2+1=1 quorum should recalculate to this. But its still considering 3 votes out of 1down server+1up server+1witness. Ideally I should be able to loose the witness too aftersome time and still maintain quorum(unlike what
the validation test is saying).

Hi Simon,
Thanks for your response.
I have done some study, testing and what I figured out is this.
Split brain syndrome is prevented by always requiring a majority of the DAG members (and in the case of DAGs with an even number of member, the DAG witness server) to be available and interacting for the DAG to be operational.
All DAGs with an even number of members must use a witness server.
Hence a 3 node cluster behaves differently than a 2 node. Exchange 2013 DAG kind of forces you to have a witness server always.
You can specify only a name for the DAG and leave the Witness server and
Witness directory fields empty. In this scenario, the task will search for a Client Access server that doesn't have the Mailbox server role installed. It will automatically create the default witness directory and share on that Client Access
server and configure the DAG to use that server as its witness server.
You can
'overridde the quorum configuration using Windows2012 Failover Cluster Manager', however using it to modify a DAG is not recommended.
If you open Failover Cluster Manager in Administrative Tools, you’ll find the Database Availability Group (DAG), cluster networks and so on. Don’t try to manage the DAG
using the Failover Cluster Manager, as this isn’t supported. The Exchange Management Console (EMC) or the Exchange Management Shell (EMS) are the only ways to manage the DAG.
Unless you’re doing a DC switchover and/or being assisted by Microsoft Support services (premier)
Now back to the point:
When we are left with 2 nodes and 1 witness server for Exchange HA. The Dynamic Quorum functionality kind of stops dealing with it. As 2nodes/2+1=2votes this means we need to have atleast 2 votes to have quorum.
So if we assume Dynamic Quorum triggers and removes 2 votes, 1 from Witness and 1 from nodeB.
Then the new formula we have is 1node/2+1=1vote which would mean this would allow us to loose both the witness and the nodeB. And nodeA will be the last man standing as in this
article.
However having this scenario in a two node cluster brings in the split-brain problem. As if there is a full disconnect of nodeA site and nodeB+Witness can talk, they form quorum , nodeB mounts the database. Which is undesirable.
Hence Dynamic Quorum keeps the votes to 3 in a 2nodes+1witness scenario contrary to what is expected and in turn keeps everything running fine till we have 2votes available, just like 2010,Windows2008 days.

Satyajit

How does status handling work for ePrint?

I am wondering how I am notified whether an ePrint job failed or succeeded.
Do I get a machine-readable reply that contains the message ID of my print request e-mail? For instance are delivery status notifications according to RFC 3464 supported?
Thanks

Hi Cristob,
If you selected Allow Everyone under ePrintcenter.com setting.
Then whenever you send an email to the printer it will send you an auto reply that the job has been received.
If you selected Allow Senders Only under ePrintcenter.com setting.
Then whenever you send an email to the printer it will send you an auto reply with more specific reply stating that the job had been received or failed and why.
There is one more way to check what printed and failed.
When you log into ePrintcenter.com and sign in, you should see recent jobs. Under recent jobs you will see the print job received by the printer and if it printed, pending, cancelled or Failed.
If you have any question please do let us know.
Thanks
