I feel like a fool!

Moved to billing, not a TV equipment issue.

I would just bring in the box to your local Comcast center but before you do that consider this... http://www.dslreports.com/comment/1579/87352

Feeling like a total fool, now that I have solved for the most part Audigy LS probl

As the subject says, I feel like a total fool for having for the most part solved my problems with the Audigy LS. I have to say I'm sorry to Creative Labs for being so hot headed in my previous posts, as I got to thinking about it logically and decided to try a few more things before I gave up entirely.
Uninstalled the drivers/software and moved it to the last PCI slot on my motherboard, which hel
ps.
Didn't mess with Dolby Digital Decoding, which is off by default when the drivers are installed.
Set PCI Latency to 64 in the bios of my motherboard, which helps, for some reason the card doesn't like a PCI Latency of 32, beats me why it doesn't.
I do know the Audigy LS, will slow down to a crawl for processing soundif the PCI latency is set to 28, doesn't have a problem with a PCI Latency of either 64 or 96. Found this out on my system.
I can play games now, with minimal suttering. Ultimately, I came to the realization that the Audigy LS is for lack of better terminology a budget/low end soundcard and that it's time to upgrade, as it doesn't do hardware processing of EAX. Decided to update to an Audigy 2 within the next few weeks. I might get the Audigy 2 Value card if it is any good, as I already have firewire on my motherboard.
Here's my system specs, if it will help Creative Labs in trying to find a solution, though I do think a new set of drivers for the Audigy LS would help dramatically.
Intel 865PERLK motherboard
GB of PC3200 memory
3.06GHZ 533FSB Pentium 4
ATI Radeon X800 Pro
Highpoint Rocket 00 Ultra IDE card with 3 Western Digital harddri'ves attached.
Netgear FA3 network card for net connection
SB Audigy LS
LG 52X CDROM, LG 52X32X52X CDROM, LG 6X DVDROM

Almost forgot, the games that give me the most trouble for stuttering are C&C Generals and Lord Of The Rings: The Battle For Middle Earth.
I'm going to dig through each game's ini file, and search on the internet to see if there is anything that could help me. It's also a possibility that the stuttering could be a bug in ATI's Catalyst 5. drivers.

Hi it's me rabia and i'm apple user
I want to change my cell phone because it's having scratches on it and i also feel like its home button did't work correctly
So i want to know that can i have a new cell phone on replace of this one at any nearby of my house App store without any cost ?
But i'm not having any line yet on my phone i use it on net mostly so what is the scene can i have or can't ??
please inform me soon !

Is your phone still covered by warranty? If so, go to your nearest Apple store and depending on what happened, this may or may not be covered by warranty. If it is, then you can get a replacement exactly as the phone you already have.
If out of warranty, then there is nothing you can do and you'll have to pay.

My weather app doesn't show the feels like temp or wind, etc. How can I fix this? I am running iOS 8.1.2

My weather app doesn't show the feels like temp or wind, etc. How can I fix this? I am running iOS 8.1.2.

is that really what it is? this is the native iphone weather app. the funny part is that when i use the actual weather channel app, it does provide it.
is this an api issue with the weather channel and the iphone then? i guess there's no fix?
thanks for your help by the way.

Am I the only person that feels like the salesman lied to me, wrote up contract wrong, etc?

I had purchased two Iphone 4's without contract and enjoyed not having the bill and extra fees every month. Through the prepaid carrier, my son and I didn't even know we could use a laptop or anything with our phones. Luck would have it, the only thing I had left through Verizon was my USB device that I put on my computer and after 3 years, it broke. I went to Verizon to purchase a new one, and pay cash for it to not be under contract, the first salesman assured me it was compatible like the other but after four days I had to take it back for lack of connection. 79.00 was what I paid, when returned, of course I got stuck paying the restocking fee of 35.00 and a new sales person named Cofe (at Jonesboro location) comes to assist me. He talked me into the wifi jetback for 20 or so with the NEW TWO YEAR CONTRACT as he understood I would be needing for portable devices. Had to pay full price for it and wait for my 50 bucks on the rebate card. He spots my son scoping out the 4S, he said he could make the deal worth my while if we wanted to get newer phones...never telling me how much the cost. Against my better judgement, we got new phones, promised new free Lifeproof cases, etc. I told him my funds were tight and I only wanted a plan of about 160 or 180 total for all. Paid the small amount he said was due, then get a bill for 443 a couple days later. We kept going over the data on our phones, not knowing that he in fact set us up to pay 220 a month for 10 gb data, use of jetpack and two smart phones. Paying over for what we had on the mifi we didn't know exitsted caused us to have 30 too much on device and usually 30 overcharge data. Fianlly look at bill wondering why I couldn't get it paid up and 6 calls to customer service, digging through receipts, 10 hours of phone bill hunting, and numerous hours on the phone brought to my attention that he had set me up on almost the most expensive plan, charged us 99 each for cases, 99 for two new contracts and swiped a gift card for 400 to my account without any knowledge. Also, this was a new plan since not under contract, and HE TOOK OUR PHONES that I could've sold for a small chunk and there is not a trace of where they went? He made himself a sale that day!! They have removed some of the charges since I took back the FREE cases, etc., but this has been a horrible experience. I begged the people to please let me out of my contract because now I am unemployed and sure cant afford this and I feel like he did some underhanded tactics selling and not starting the plan off right. He didn't have to sell me the jetpack, we can run laptop of phones, and I guess if I were only gonna get 99 bucks for a three month old phone, I wouldve taken it elsewhere. It's amazing that of all documents scanned in My Verizon, it does not really show a trade in, which he didn't explain anyway, nor does it show what or the actual value. I get horrible service in my area and it drags on the web.not taking long to use the data. In the last week, my phone was cut off so I had to go to the prepaid place and port over. Paid enough to keep my son's phone and laptop and got told if I dont have remaining balance in a few days, they won't port my number back to Verizon, service interrupt on all and then the process server will get to bang on my door. I have never been so disgusted with service and some of the people in that building by their actions. One tried but of course he took up for his dude Cofe.....I don't know what to do now, try to pay it or tell them take the phones and FIND MY OLD ONES then go back prepay. Read this customer service specialist, because I am pretty sure DECEIT, RUNNING GIFT CARDS, AND WRONGFULLY SETTING UP NEW CONTRACT is grounds for an official claim. How did y'all like that bid long confusing mess of a story? :/

Uhhhh, hmmmmm, WHAT???
Sorry, I have no idea what you are ranting about. I think I would be more upset for running over my phone.

How can someone use a stolen iphone? does erasing the phone (which I feel like I should do) make it easier for the thief to use the iphone? If I don't erase it, it doesn't seem like anyone should be able to use the phone because of my password.

how can someone use a stolen iphone? does erasing the phone (which I feel like I should do) make it easier for the thief to use the iphone? If I don't erase it, it doesn't seem like anyone should be able to use the phone because of my password. Also, is it possible to retrieve anything that has been sent to the phone (i.e. text messages) since it was stolen through icloud? The "find my iphone" app says the device is offline but it rings when I call my number -- any idea how that would be the case? Thanks!!

You have a password, so good move on your part. Whether you erase it or the thief does, they still get to use the iPhone as theirs. Which is more important (pick one), protecting your data or punishing the thief?
Ringing occurs at the carrier. Chances are you're going to voicemail after only two or three rings. If you have an iCloud backup also a good move. Re-read my question in the first paragraph.

I updated my 3GS to os5 and set up icloud and it backed up, although, the backup says incomplete. I turned off the contacts and they are now all gone off the iphone. How do i get them back? I feel like they are in icloud, they are on other iphone i have.

I did turn the contacts back on and it didnt work. I am hoping the wi-fi connection I am on at school is not compatible, and it will work when I get home. Thanks!

I feel like i am going to cry after my 3 hour update generated an 9006 error message. apple support tried to restore my ipod and when they made an error they just returned the thing to me and said sorry. sorry is not enough for breaking it. it's dead.

my ipod locked while it was in my bag. i took it out and tried all possible passcodes that i had. my internet was slow to update and restore it so i took it to the Apple Store. My home button was broken and ive been using just the accessibility home button for a couple of months now. i agreed to have it restored for 500php. While it was being restored by the apple technician. she encountered an error and broke my eff in iPod! she just returned it to me and thought it was just okay!! now my internet is back and i waited 3 hours!!! for the update to finish and now im getting an error message. 9006!!! what the heck am i supposed to do to fix this thing and is Apple really forcing me to buy a new one?>!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
im a loyal Apple fan but now i feel like getting a samsung or an HTC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SOLVED] New Install of Gnome 3.2 doesn't feel like loading

Greetings,
Before making this post, I have spent the majority of the day trying to solve this issue. I have switched from nvidia drivers to nouvela (sp?) drivers, incase that was the issue. I have scoured google, arch-wiki, and the forums until my eyes have bled. I have dug through the xsession-errors log to search out any missing components that might be causing this... but to no avail. If anything, trying to run and try Gnome 3.2 has made me feel like a complete idiot, who has obviously learnt nothing after years of using linux. So, I come here hoping that some one can point me to the solution my brain cannot itself come up with.
Here the situation:
I have been running KDE4 for quite some time happily. I have ran Gnome 3 back in its beginning days succesfully as well, but that was an older, now dead, pc. Having seen some neat little things about the new Gnome 3.2, I got an itch to give it a try. So, I go and follow the Gnome article on the excellent arch wiki- installing both gnome and gnome extras, letting it grab everything, change from kdm to gdm, and reboot.
Well, it gives me the old gdm I remember from the early gnome 3 days (wasn't this changed) despite it showing that it is GDM 3.2 via pacman. It shows my user name, lets me put my password, and shows the stripped background. One thing to note is that the cursor remains a clock face, never changing to a pointer.
I log in, choosing GNOME, all that remains is the wallpaper, with the clockface cursor, no pointer. I go take the kids to the bus stop, come back apx. 20 min. later, no change.
Ok, bug crushing time right? So I go through the steps. I make sure that gnome shell is indeed installed. I remove any config files (there weren't any), remove gnome shell, reinstall. No go. I rinse and repeat, but removing & reinstalling different things, such as GDM, and even gnome completely. No go.
Hopping into pekwm, I search. I make copies of the xsession-errors each time, and load them in pekwm after a reboot, looking through with pacman by myside to make sure I have any possible missing files. And finally after failure after failure I give up, and come here.
So, here's my xsession-errors log. Please, if anyone can help, or even offer any kind of suggestion that might spark something in my brain to get me going in the right direction, I'd greatly appreciate it. If this thread needs moved, merged, etc, please do so... I've searched the forums, but now my brain is numb, so yeah...

Ok, I guess all it took was for me to post this to wake up and be able to solve the issue.
It is simple really. I just needed to re-install libltdl.
So, for those searching, if you get this similar problem,
pacman -S libltdl
is what solved it for me.

Hi Buterem,
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your MacBook Pro since your recent Yosemite update. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. If you are having intermittent but persistent responsiveness issues with your mouse or trackpad, you may want to try using Activity Monitor to see if these incidents correspond to occupied system resources, especially system memory or CPU. You may find the following article helpful:
How to use Activity Monitor - Apple Support
If the entire system hangs or locks up (for example, if the system clock freezes and stops counting up), you may also be experiencing some variety of Kernel Panic. If that is the case, you may also find this article useful:

I'm 51 years old and recently retired. I have a new IPad Air. Which MacBook should I buy to go with it? I don't understand flash storage. It feels like I would have a bunch of flash drives to keep up with. Help an old lady out!!!

I'm 51 years old and recently retired. I have a new IPad Air. Which MacBook should I buy to go with it? I don't understand flash storage. It feels like I would have a bunch of flash drives to keep up with. Help an old lady out!!!

Depends on how you want to use it. Flash storage on the newer macbook and macbook air are built in. A macbook air is the most light weight and a very good machine. It will do all you want it to do unless you are running some very intensive programs. If you go to the apple store on line you can compare the different macbook pro" and macbook Air's.

Trying to restore my iPhone 5 from a backup but its says that it will take over 24 hours to finish. Is there something I can try to do to speed this up? I feel like it shouldn't take this long

So I have been restoring my iPhone5 from a backup for about 3 hours now however iTunes still says that it is going to take over 24 hours to complete the restore process and the progress bar hasn't moved much at all. I feel like something has gone wrong somehow and it shouldn't take this long to complete. Is there something I can do to speed up this process or do I just have to try to wait it out? I'm scared to just unplug my phone and try again since it might screw something up.

if u unplug then that could put ur device into recovery mode. i would wait

Preview will not print 8.5" x 14", only when the computer feels like it

This problem has gone on for too long and I don't know what else to do. I have flyers that I cannot print because preview refuses to recognize the document size correctly and consistantly, and I have no other program that can print to our copier.
This happens with any PDF that is not 8.5" x 11". Both 8.5" x 14" and 11" x 17" exhibit the same problem. First I open a PDF in Preview, then I change the document size in Page Setup to "US Legal" and scale of 100% (the scale is always wrong because it is automatically resizing the document to fit on 8.5" x 11"). Then I go to print, check under Paper Handling and under Destination Paper Size is says "Use documents paper size: US Letter". This does not change no matter how many times I visit Page Setup and no matter how many times I save and re-save the file.
At random it will recognize the document size as "US Legal", but this happens only when the computer feels like it, at least that's what it seems like because there are no other settings that are different between one file and another that would cause it to print one as Letter and the next one as Legal.
Some PDFs are created in Photoshop, while other are created in Acrobat. I cannot print directly from Acrobat because of some weird problem with our copier; I cannot print from any Adobe CS3 software.
I don't know what to do. Any help is greatly appreciated.

com.apple.print.custompapers.plist didn't exist on my machine, but com.apple.Preview.plist did. I moved it to the desktop as you suggested, opened the files in Preview and this time it worked. Thanks so much!
I tried looking at the file, but it didn't make any sense to me. Must have been something in there that caused the problem, though.

Preloader problem - feel like an idiot

I feel like a total idiot. I can't seem to get my
preloader to work. Here's my code. What am I doing wrong? The
problem is that myApp.swf loads successfully but the .onEnterFrame
function thinks that loader_mc is 1 frame and 0 bytes long.

Again, I much appreciate your help. I had put some trace
statements in trying to find out what getBytesLoaded/Total were and
they were coming back with values I didn't understand, so I kept
thinking it was trying to get the values of the empty_mc I had
instantiated instead of the thing I was trying to load and I kept
scratching my head as to why and tried a lot of different things
and was baffled. At any rate, in the end I think it's a timing
issue if I understand correctly. In other words, I think the
function started executing before it could really grab the correct
information about the .swf that I was trying to load. Is that
right?
Oh well, I'm out of the ditch with that silly problem now and
moving on to my next set of challenges. :-)
Again, thank you so VERY much for being a willing helping
hand to us newbies out here.

I feel like I really missed something somewhere...

So I was watching Family Guy last night using Xine (I like menus), and I noticed that the quality was really bad, so I cranked up the deinterlacing, and once my CPU topped 100%, the quality was "acceptable".
But then I was cooking, so the menus annoyed me (it doesn't have a play all button), so I used mplayer with this command: "for i in `seq 2 9`; do mplayer dvd://${i} -dvd-device /dev/hdc -vo xv; done", and the picture quality was perfect (note the lack of any deinterlace filters).
So I wondered why Xine was giving me such crap quality, and I noticed that "Video Device" was set to "Auto" (which I always thought meant it picked xv over all of the others), but I changed it to "xv", and now I get the same quality as mplayer without any deinterlacing.
Now, I swear a few years ago when I was fiddling with that kinda thing, I had to use deinterlacers with "xv" to get the same quality as I get now (using just xv alone). So, does xv now use my graphics cards onboard MPEG-2 decoding, or does xv have it's own deinterlacer, or does something else happen? I really feel like I missed something somewhere...
