How stable is LR2 for you?

I've been a regular user of LR1. I am attracted to some of the new features in LR2 and have already purchased (but not installed) the upgrade.
I was burned a bit with the LR 1.4 upgrade and I have read a fair amount about various problems in LR2. I do not like it when software I'm using crashes and causes me to lose work. I am trying to decide whether to install LR2 now or wait until 2.1 comes out from Adobe.
So, for all you LR2 users, can you tell me which of the following is most true for you:
1) LR 2 is at least as stable as LR 1 and I'm happy with it.
2) LR 2 has some stability issues that I hope Adobe fixes, but it's still worth upgrading as I haven't lost any significant work.
3) LR 2 has worse stability issues than LR 1 and I wish I had waited until 2.1 comes out.
FYI. I have a 2.4GHz quad-core Intel processor so hopefully I won't be bit by performance issues in LR 2.

> Every bodies mileage is going to be different. Not everybody has had problems. Instead of inflaming the ongoing problems that exist, why don't you go download the trial and make your own subjective decision instead. Come on back when you have had a chance to do your own objective analysis and ask important questions related to the actual use of the product.
Why so defensive? It's a fact that a significant number of people have had problems. Just read the posts on this board or others. I'm not trying to inflame anything, just find out how other people think this release compares to LR 1.4.
If Adobe didn't make the LR 2 catalog incompatible with LR 1, I'd install it and figure I'll just go back if it has problems. But, I've learned that the only way I can really find out how well it works is to do real work with the new release. That means putting my new work in a LR 2 catalog which can't be used by LR 1. While I could go back to my original LR 1 catalog if LR 2 had too many problems, I'd then lose all the work I'd done in LR 2 and I don't want to do that. When I spend hours on my work, I don't want to lose it.
If you'd read my initial message, you'd see I don't need a trial version - I've already purchased the upgrade and I will go with it at some point because I'm a LR supporter. I'm just trying to decide whether to wait for 2.1 to install or not. I hate wasting time or losing work with buggy or poor performing software products so I'm interested in avoiding that fiasco with LR.
I asked for other people's experiences compared with LR 1.4 so I can gauge how people think it compares to their 1.4 experience. That's all. No inflaming intended, just soliciting some other people's experiences.

Mac OSX v10.6.5: How's it working for you with Premiere Pro CS5?

If you've installed Mac OSX v10.6.5, let us know how it's working for you.
Please make sure that you're using the most recent update for Premiere Pro CS5 before you report back. We don't want to waste our time disentangling problems that were actually fixed in Premiere Pro CS5 (5.0.2) from issues that still exist.

So, here is my experience:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/751458?tstart=0
Basically:
Premiere Pro does not want to play the timeline (or the source window) anymore. Sometime it plays for 2 minutes, sometime for 2 seconde and then stops, but most of time, it wont play at all.
I can scroll over my timeline (no sound scrolling), but when I hit space bar (or clic on the play button) I can see the play button turning into a square (which mean it's now the stop button), but the timecodes doesn't run and the image doesn't play.
So I suggest people to not being stupid as I was and to wait before to update... And hope a solution to come soon.

How does NetBeans run for you?

Was going to start using NetBeans today and was amazed at how bad it was. Can't really picture it being that bad for most people.
Basically here is what it did.
Loaded - took like 10 seconds.
Popped up, I choose to make a new project.
Spent like 5 minutes reading the classpath classes or something.
Gave me a wizard. I tried to make a project, java errors showed up red in the status bar, stopped working: I closed it.
I could continue but basically it was the slowest and buggiest thing I have ever tried to use, Maya seriously runs faster and I don't understand how what is basically a text editor could lag so bad. It only crashed once, but it was painly slow; even trying the whole thing lagged. Is this normal or was it just not working right on my computer? Anyone know what could maybe make it go faster?

128 videoIt is probably a memory issue. Netbeans consumes quite a bit of memory. On my workstation which has 1 gig of memory, Netbeans consumes 128 megabytes at startup. WinXP, email, virusscan and a few other necessities eat up about 400 megabytes on my PC, so when I'm using Netbeans my PC uses between 528 and 768 megabytes depending on what I am doing.
Your poor performance and failures are most likely due to memory constraints on your PC (128mb if I am reading your note correctly). If you want to use a robust IDE you are going to have to add additional memory to your PC, and even for modest command line programming your memory is borderline.
I use and really like Netbeans and have found it fast and stable for all the work I have done and it has been extensive. I am running on a AMD 64 3000+ with 1 gig memory, but ran reasonably well on a P4 1.3Ghz with 768 megabytes.

UK Delivery - How long was it for you guys?

really didn't know where to put this topic, so sorry if it's in the wrong place.
Basically just curious to know how long delivery normally is, I ordered a quad G5 yesterday or so, order status says it should be shipped by Jan 12th, but while completing the order it said delivery should take 5-7 days, 10 days at most etc.. but i am finding it hard to believe in this day and age and from such a company like Apple that Next Day delivery wasn't an option.
Am i really going to have to wait a week for delivery?? bad enough having to wait a week for the building etc...? what length of time have you guys experienced from shipping to delivery?? i want my G5 now! :o
NB- refers to UK orders

Just as reference for those awaiting delivery, i'll just run through the various stages i experienced. Ordered 5th January, Powermac G5, Cinema Display and Ipod Nano with other various accessories.
Estimated Shipping Date was 12th Jan.
Actual Shipping Date was 9th Jan.
The G5 was shipped via Kuhne & Nagel Spedition s.a r., the package was picked up from Cork, Ireland at 18:15. The remaining items were picked up by Flextronics c/o Express Cargo , i am unsure where it came from originally, but i assume it was these items that caused the slight delay. As all items need to accumulate in one place before being handed over to UPS or TNT.
I called Apple yesterday (12th Jan) they had no extra information than that on the Tracking page, and said delivery was estimated for 17th Jan, but he said could come sooner, which it did, it arrived today (13th Jan).
Early this morning, the Tracking page changed. All the items, except the PC, were under the Carrier name of FLEX POST & HUB UK.. this changed to APPLE EUROPE, MIDDLE EAST AND AFRICA, and new tracking numbers had been applied to ALL the items. After some googling i discovered the new numbers belonged to UPS.. a quick visit to their website turned up some results. They had revieved the packages yesterday, and had been sent out for delivery this morning...
Packages recieved at 12:05 13th January. So for me build time was 3-4 days, and shipping was 3-4 days. All under the estimates. I think the ipod and the extras that resulted in the 1-2 delay, from what i've read apart from John Keith's experience, is that shipping usually takes no more than 3days after you get the shipping confirmation.
All in all very happy, Apple's tracking page should display more and update more, a fair majority of the info i recieved was due to a lot of googling and trial and error. I've yet to open the pc and monitor so can't comment on the state, read some horror stories so am waiting with trepidation mixed with huge excitement!!!
hope this is of some help

ITunes TV Show Season Pass Issues - How is it working for you?

I love iTunes Season passes. I love letting a show accumulate without worrying about storms, sports messing up recording times, power outages, storage of my DVR, etc... The shows are always going to be there to watch. However for well over a year ago Apple removed the new TV Show episodes from coming via the Check Available Downloads option. Since then we have had a plethera of options presented to us. However I continue to have mixed results. I have tried using my Apple Care to get support. But since its more like a cloud or iTunes issue, they send me to the web which is nothing but email support. Email support suggests these 4 methods. 3 out of the 4 rarely work for me in a reliable or timely way. I am looking for those who have the same issues/challenges and understand if you have found a better way or even a root cause why I am getting these results.
First method is using the email notifications you can turn on when you manage your season pases via iTunes Account inside the iTunes application. You click the email link, it launches Safari, Safari launches iTunes, in a few seconds you get a "Cancel" or "Download" pop up in iTunes. You click download and it will download the show. You must repeat this for each email notification/show... daily. It can be hap hazard as the notifications sometimes come at 2am and others throughout the next day.
Second method is going to iTunes store in iTunes, click on TV Shows, Click on Purchased... and there you can select "not on this computer" to see what episodes are new and not downloaded yet. This is actually fairly straight forward and easier than the email links. However I am having an issue where even though I have the notification, the show does not show up in my purchases. If I switch over to "shows" vs "seasons" I see the episodes from all my email notifications. But generally only the behind the scense have the icloud download icon. (see attached screen shot) The work around is to go to the TV show page itself for that season, scroll and use the download button there for each new epiosde you have not downloaded. This is probably now less optimal than the email.
Third method is to enable "show iTunes in the Cloud purchases" via iTunes Preferences. I dread it evertime its suggested I try this. When I enable this option, all shows and movies marked as "unwatched" get marked as "watched." Right now, I have a large number of episodes unwatched right now. So it would be ALOT to clean up to try it again. When I have used this, its by far the easiest to use (besides the former retired "check for available downloads" option. You just go to your TV Shows in your library, unwatched tab, and just click the download icons. You dont even have to leave your library. However there seems to be a bug. I suspect it has something to do with my machine sleeping and the internet connection dropping and not re-establishing before iTunes is trying to reconnect. The end result is the iTunes in the cloud preference disappears or gets completely reset.... and it totally messes with your unwatched and watched shows. I have showed it to an Apple Care rep as they were connected to my machine. They couldnt believe it. So I would REALLY love to know if anyone has tried this method recently and NOT had these issues. Its a good hour of work if it does not work cleaning up the after math. So feedback would be welcome.
Fourth option is instead of downloading, stream it. This is not my preferred method because I sometimes will rewatch an episode multipe times due to distractions from work, shool, or re-watching it later with a friend to catch them up. Once I have it downloaded, the critial path is limited to my home network. However I never really have issues with long buffering and streaming because I have a 50mps up/downlink internet. The issue I am running into this method is sometimes the newest episode is not showing up in AppleTV > TV Shows > Purchases > Recent for that TV Show and Season. It will eventually make it there... but I am not sure what the secret sauce is for it to become available.
I am doing my best to keep this to a civil request for feedback from fellow users and fans of the TV Show Season Passes. I would even welcome an Apple response. I am currently trying to get iTunes support to look into these again. But I keep getting looped into one of the four options with each email exchange.... even though I have already explain, provided screen shots, etc... Its sort of exhausting when you are stuck with email as your only path to explain and help. Especially when you spent the money on Apple Care. Perhaps I need to just make an apppointment at my Apple store so I can SHOW them what happens. But that is a pain to lug in a 27" iMac and a 6TB thunderbolt drive. FEEDBACK welcome!

Hi,
I'm having the same problem on Windows and Mac, neither automatically download episodes from any of my season passes, nor do they find it when I select "Check for available downloads," it informs me all episodes have been downloaded for my Apple ID, which in fact they have not.
I have to find the episode in my Library(which shows all available episodes on my computer and in the iTunes Store) and from there I have to manually click to download. I tried deauthorizing all my computers and reauthorizing just one computer, and that didn't work either. I also deleted my other device(iPad) from the "iTunes in the Cloud" just in case there was some issue associated with that, and that didn't work either.
It’s sad that the iTunes rep didn't really "listen" to what you said. I find this happens at many other companies too. They often are trying to fit your problem into some prepared script or solution, or they are distracted or in a hurry and don't actually read or listen fully to an even well defined account of the problem.
Best of luck to us all! Hope they fixed it soon.

How slow is Safari for you at first boot of the day in 10.9.1?

I'm running Mavericks from an external FW800 disk.
When starting up for the first time each day, Safari bounces for about 60 seconds in the dock before opening. After that, it's very quick.
I have only 4 extension installed, but turning them off doesn't make any difference to that first launch time.
Firefox, in comparison, takes about 10 seconds first time - and is quick afterwards too.
Are these times typical? When I switch back to my Snow Leopard setup, everything - Safari included - launches immediately. It's always superfast.
I'm using a 2009 MBP with 8GB RAM. There's almost 300GB of spare space.

Reset Safari.
Click Safari in the menu bar.
From the drop down select "Reset Safari".
Checkmark the box beside " Remove all website data".
Click "Reset".
Empty Caches
Safari > Preference > Advanced
Checkmark the box for "Show Develop menu in menu bar".
"Develop" menu will appear in the Safari menu bar.
Click Develop and select "Empty Caches" from the dropdown.

How Stable is the OSX eMail Server? Do you Use it, or have you dropped it?

We used the email server in Panther and it was crap.
Spam protection was crap, and it was somewhat insecure, so I ended up spending $1,000 a year to maintain it. We shifted over to a company called Fastmail, which is less hassel, but still $1,000 a year. I'm wondering do people use the OSX mail server for small office enviornments, and how does it work for you? Is it ready for prime-time?
Please let me know your experiences (good and bad)...

Had a good experience with Panther mail services. Better with Tiger, better still with Leopard and better again with Snow Leopard.
Your milage will vary depending on what you invest in the tools provided.
Start by understanding that the server tools provide a fairly basic configuration. To get the most out of them, you'll need to move beyond the GUI
and edit some configuration files directly. Backing them up first of course (standard practice).
Learn about the MTA provided - namely, Postfix.
By learning and understanding Postfix' configuration files and options & abilities,
you can achieve far far far better rejection of spam. Which is what you want - not to queue the junk mail and waste your server's time & resources on chomping on obvious spam.
The MDA used to be Cyrus, but as of 10.6 server that's been replaced by Dovecot which - so far - has been very good. More stable overall and better performance. As of 10.4 server there have been zero stability issues but the systems involved were typically serving about 20 users at most. Others have been using OS X Server with far more users, but you have to plan & allocate appropriate resources in terms of your server or servers.
I used to bother with custom-installing newer versions of amavisd and spamassassin but don't much anymore, I took advantage of Postfix's capabilities and between that and the zen.spamhaus.org RBL, very little spam gets through at all.
But what are your needs ? Start there. Who will support the product and what is their experience and/or understanding of servers &/or ability & willingness to learn ? Can you afford to have a novice mail/sysadmin ?
If not, what resources do you have to allocate to ensuring your mailserver is properly configured, monitored and maintained ?
If you needs are not met by what OS X Server provides, but you really want the underlying OS to be Mac OS X, then look at Kerio Connect.
If you try working with OS X Server again, then run don't walk and buy the Book of Postfix (it's on my tech bookshelf). http://www.postfix-book.com/
If you don't have it already I'd also suggest DNS & BIND (O'Reilly Press) by Cricket Liu & Paul Albitz,
Unix System Administration Handbook (now "Unix & Linux" (etc.)), Essential System Administration (O'Reilly) and while it's "only" for 10.3, be sure to invest in "Essential Mac OS X Panther Server Administration" by Michael Bartosh. There's much in there that's still appropriate and relevant in terms of understanding the architecture(s) of OS X Server and best practices in troubleshooting.

How is the After Effects CS5 (10.0.1) update working for you?

The After Effects CS5 (10.0.1) update is available. It fixes a lot of crashes, errors, and other problems, and it adds some capabilities for RED (R3D) footage and the Apply Color LUT effect.
After you've installed the update, let us know how it's working for you.

Todd,
I installed it over the weekend after seeing it mentioned in my RSS feed and have been using it heavily for a few days. The updater launched from within AE did not find the update. I had to go to the download page that was linked to in the feed. Installed from that download with no problem on Windows 7.
AE 10.0.1. has crashed on me twice over the weekend. Both times I was scrubbing through a composition that uses a pretty intense plug-in (Video Gogh). I would submit a bug report to Adobe or the plug-in developer, but the problem has not been repeatable. Also, an AE composition dynamically linked to PPro may have made PPro crash. I wish I could give more details on that but I was, as usual, trying to do too many things at one time.
Other than that, everything went smoothly during many hours of compositing in AE.

How far does iPhoto take you?

Hello,
As I get deeper into digital photography, I am wondering how far serious amateurs go with iPhoto. Is there some point where you find that you wish the software could do more than what iPhoto does and then, do you move on? iPhoto is outstanding, and Photoshop is very expensive. And yet, I begin to think that blowing $400 on another lens might be spent better on software.
So how does it work for you?

Ratty:
PSE has about 80% of Photoshops editing capability at
about 25% of the price. It is far more versitile to
iPhoto in editing power, allowing the user to create
layers, etc.. It does have a much stepper learning
curve however, but you can do so much more with it,
for example. You can add text to
images as well. There is one caveat to using PSE
thru iPhoto and that is if you create an edit that
requires a layered file and, thus, a change of
extension, you must save it to the desktop and then
import as a new file. Future edits on that file can
proceed as usual.
The Effects pallet in iPhoto does make it easy to
make those types of changes and the Effects pallet is
much more extensive than before. I think there's a
demo of PSE available that you can try and and use to
compare edits with those in iPhoto.
Toad,
At first, I thought the sample photos you linked to were different photos. I thought, whats the point of using two different photos to show off the software. Only looking more carefully did I realize that each one was the same photo twice! Very good example of Photoshop Elements! Thanks very much. Seems like a good buy at the price.

How to design a stable IIR-Filter for FPGA?

Hi, I´m new to Labview for FPGA and currently trying to design a lowpass-filter (for a digital mixer, more or less). It should work with a sample-frequency of 200kHz, a passband edge frequency of 3Hz and a stopband edge frequency of 8Hz. An FIR-filter would have a too large order to be implemented, an IIR one seems more practicable. For the design of the filter I'm using the digital filter design toolkit, refering to its manual and the casestudy with analyzing, modeling, simulating and generating a fixed-point filter. Now, I have problems to get a stable filter. While the manual states to adjust the coefficents by trial and error, the designed filter never matches the floating-point reference. Does anyone have experience in creating such filters? Or a hint, how to optimize the coefficient finding process?
Thanks in advance!
thilo

LabVIEW FPGA 8.20 does include a Butterworth filter function (1st, 2nd and 4th order) in the FPGA palette. You can configure it directly using a dialog on your FPGA diagram. The cutoff may not be quite as sharp as you want but it could be an option for you to consider. Once you have configured the filter VI, you have the option of opening up the subVI with the code that is generated based on your filter parameters, which would allow you to further configure the code directly.
I have attached the configuration dialog with the settings you specified.

HT4009 I purchased hipstamatic the other day due to an ad I read. When I tried to use it, it didn't meet my expectations. I'm not going to use it at all. How can I apply for a refund please? Thank you!

I purchased hipstamatic app the other day. When I tried to use it, it didn't meet the expected features it advertised. How can I ask for a refund?

If it's not workins as described in the store then you can try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that app and use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, 24 to 48 hours).
Some people have had a problem with the 'report a problem' link (it's been taking people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) - if it does that to you then try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.

How's Adobe Media Encoder CS5 working for you?

This is the first thread on the new Adobe Media Encoder forum, so I thought that it would be appropriate to open it up by just asking a general question:
How is Adobe Media Encoder CS5 working for you?
Please be sure to install the Adobe Media Encoder CS5 (5.0.1) update. Instructions for updating are included in this post about the Premiere Pro CS5 (5.0.2) update.
If you're having a specific problem that you want help with, or if you have a specific question, please start your own thread on this forum. This thread is intended for general feedback about how Adobe Media Encoder CS5 is working out for you.

First of all IT IS GREAT and I use it a lot I also used the CS4 version before!
But I have to report two issues about version CS5:
1. I bought the English version of the production premium CS5 but I have a German operating system (win7 64bit) all other adobe application are in English except Adobe Media Encoder it shows up in German language! Not a show stopper but should be fixed.
2. Recently I wanted to encode a video into an h264. I made some custom settings for that and the encoded video played very stuttered in Microsoft Media Player 12 (like 12fps instead of 25fps [settings were set correct in AME]) but fine in Quicktime and VLC Player (execpt for the gamma bug but that's an other story...)
I did a lot of testings and found the issue! Sometimes when you change a lot of the h264 settings (don't know when it happens exactly) Media Encoder seems to not set the fps correctly allthough AME shows 25fps in it's settings this setting is not encoded into the final file!
Quicktime and VLC seems not to care about the missing information but Windows Media Player gets confused.
It does not happens when using a preset in AME it only happens when changing a lot and using custom settings!
You can see the missing fps setting when right clicking the encoded file and choose properties (german:Eigenschaften) switch the tap to Details and there is no fps setting in the stuttering files but when encoded with a preset in AME there is the correct 25fps setting!
I have attached a screenshots to demonstrate it:
My workaround so far was to choose a preset with 25fps and close to my desired settings and change as few as possible - Fingers crosses and with a chance of 3/4 I was able to encode a working file containing the fps setting in it which plays perfect in Microsoft Media Player!
I hope you take a look into this issue because if you have a long file and you have to encode it again because it fails....... uiuiui
Thanks Todd for the possibility to give this direct feedback to Adobe
This is real support!

i have proplem in my iphone 5 in ear phone and i want send my iphone 5 for you how can ?

Try the usual steps: restart, reset, restore.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
If you try restoring from a backup and that doesn't fix the problem, try restoring to factory settings and synching your apps. You'll lose the app data and settings, but if the problem is due to a corrupt cache or settings file, that should cure it. If that still fails to correct the problem, take or send the iPhone to Etisalat for replacement.
