I just dont get it....battlefield 2 runs AWFUL on my imac 17"
I cant understand how everyone is saying how well battlefield 2 is running when on my imac its totaly unplayable. How can that be?
Im experiencing poor framerate and very very often the games just pausing as i turn around as if it cant process the information...when it does this the sound even pauses, its awful! To be honest even if I put graphics on full just to see what the senery looks like its still really poor.
Sorry I dont have much infor to give you but i think i installed it all right so I dont know what to say really!..anyone got any ideas as to why maybe it would run sooo badly on my imac when theres countless others reporting how good it is on their imacs?
I think that maybe the problem is with your windows and game software installation rather than the performance of the Mac. I have a 20" mac and I run Battlefield 2 on it without a problem with graphics features on full. I have now even tweaked the performance of the ATI X1600 from 400/400 mhz to 475/475 mhz for an extra 25% performance boost with no problems. Taking into account that Sim City 4 for the Mac is not universal binary then yes the performance will not be good but if a patch comes out that makes it universal then it should be okay. You are aware of the issues of performance for gaming with regard to the software being PPC or Universal ? This is due to the switch to Intel Chips and the fact that non intel universal coded games have to work in PPC emulation (Rossetta) hence the performance hit. Look for Universal binaries when running games as thats where you will get the best performance. As far as Battlefield 2 then thats a bonus to play that game in the first place as its running on Windows XP and its a Apple Mac after all!!! plus the fact that Bootcamp is BETA The current iMac's I feel represent the best value for money that apple has produced in a long long time.

Hi and boy do I need a valium!
I just got hit by lightning a couple of days ago and it fried my 2WIRE 1100 that Ive had for years. Along with my phone and satelite system.
My Linksys WRT54GL wireless router was connected to it but it was undamaged ( I think!? ).
So I replaced the 2WIRE with a ZOOM X5.
The ZOOM works fine as a stand alone DSL modem/router, but when I try to add the Linksys router I lose the internet connection. Ive followed the directions to the letter as far as congiging and even tho' both seem to be working fine and all the correct lights are flashing and the Linksys adviser says the network is intact, I still have no internet connection. Ive made sure my Zone Alarm Firewall has given access to anything with zoom attched to it.
I figure its in the Linksys settings somewhere ( I havent changed them from when it was connected to the 2WIRE ) but I cant figure out where!?
On the STATUS/ROUTER page under internet cinfig it gives the PPoE login with a disconnected status and no IP-Sub-gateway etc.
When I try to connect it says it cant get the IP from server.
And you bet, Ive been trying to power down and reboot all day as well as google every thing I can find on configuring this thing but I just dont get it!
I could sure use some help if anyone has even an idea they can share.
Thanks in advance...Most modem/routers as you said are set to 192.168.1.1 so if that is your case set your linksys router to 192.168.1.2 so it is still in the same subnet as the modem/routers DHCP range. To access the router you should only connect a hard wired PC and access it with the defaults. This LINK will show you how. If you can not access it then rest the router and try again. This LINK will show you how to reset a Linksys router. If you have to reset your router then after the rest you can access it with the default settings. Then change the router IP to 192.168.1.2 and set it up for what ever settings your ISP requires.

Aperture wont start when I booted up this morning . There is an upgrade that it needs to install and I am being directed to log onto a hotmail account that does not exist to install it . I cant get any sense out of hotmail and the account has been deleted because I have never used it .
I need to get into my files asap but I am just going around in circles - please help - anyone ?APERTURE was bought via the Apple On Line Store .
I kew there is an update cause when I clicked on updates , there was an update that I needed cause Aperture was not running as it should ie . it would not load
I am running Mavericks OS.
My Apple ID is the same as my email account but I have discovered that I have two Apple ID accounts and I could not remember my password on the one that I used to download the original Aperture - I have since contacted Apple and they have merged the two so Ihave sorted it out that way .
When Aperture would not start , it wasn't asking me to log onto my email account, it was asking me for my Apple ID which was the same thing but it was my emergency ID and I could not remember the password . Being enturely thick where computers are concerned , I got very confused and remain confused because having bought a new MACBOOK AIR , I find it wont recognise my back up hard drive or my AIRPORT so I am not having a great time with MAC products to be honest - cant get my business back up and running after nearly three weeks so Apple and MAC are not my favourite words !
Anyway, I did get it sorted finally by ringing Apple but thanks for replying anyway - it turned out that Aperture was the very least of my problems when my hard drive failed installing Mavericks - wasnt Mavericks fault, my drives have to work hard and it just died . -
Maybe I just dont get it, but what is the use of sending my Premiere project via EDL to Speedgrade?
I get an error message open the EDL file in Speedgrade unless ALL effects and transitions are removed. I don't get how this is helpful... how can I do my color grading but then also have the effects and transitions I want? I am fairly new using Speedgrade (CS6), and love it, but when I can't color grade and make the edits I want, what good is it to me really? I am hoping there is an answer to this I am simply overlooking as a new user of the program...
I appreciate the response. I just wanted to be sure there wasn't an easy way around my problem that I was simply overlooking. I love Speedgrade and the power it has - it just seems like for it to be any good to me, I have double or even triple my work time on a video project.
For example - I am working on a simple 1 minute video, which includes an interview shot in front of a green screen. The footage is a little dark, but with SG I able to make it look amazing. So, if I am understanding correctly, my 2 options are:
1) edit the parts of the interview I want into my PP project, when I am done, send it to SG, then color grade it. Only problem with this is that I have many crossfades in the video, and when I use "Send to Speedgrade", any part of the timeline that is a crossfade becomes it's own "clip". Therefore if I grade clip A one way, and clip B another, the transitional AB section looks totally different.
2) Send the clips individually to SG before I ever begin editing them, color grade then export. Then bring those in PP and edit everything together. Only problem there is, lets say, the green screen interview I spoke of. This is a 5 minute interview, and exporting this at a lossless quality takes FOREVER. I started it this way, and once the est. time hit 12 hours and was still climbing, I cancelled it.
Maybe the computer I am attempting to do this on just isn't up for the challenge (it's a 2011 macbook pro), but I have always used it for Premiere and AE, without any problems.
Anyway, again, I really appreciate the advice - I am still trying to wrap my head around what exactly my options are with Speedgrade. Like I said, I absolutely love it - and I really want to be able to use it. -
why is it that creative wont add on free codecs such as OGG and FLAC.
i mean they are FREE!!!
i wanna be able to use my mp3 player for my car and stuff, but i might just sell my zen micro and go with the cowon iaudio.
creative is losing so much business for not supporting these formats.
i couldntimagine how popular a 5gig lossless player would be, since the apple ipod mini supports lossless it is kicking creative's ass.
i should have just bought on ipod or something cause now i got a bunch of lossless music that i cant even take with me.
i bet that creative doesnt even really check these forums...
seriously what is the point of having 98db singal to noise ratio when you dont have a lossless codec to take advantage of it's
i know there are threads about wishlists and crap, but tbh, creative will never look at those.First of all, OGG is a lossy compressed format like mp3 or wma. Secondly, Creative is probably sticking to WMA and MP3 because those formats are decoded by dedicated hardware on the player. Decoding something else would have to be done with some kind of software decoder in the firmware or on the hard-dri've (this is how iri'ver does it). I don't think Creative wants to go there, and I don't blame them. It's too much development time for too little interest.

AHHHHH! I just dont get it.....
Hello, All! Is there anyone out there with a sample piece of code that would explain how in the heck to execute a local unix command?!? I realize that i should be using Runtime.exec(String), but its just not working for me...help?!?!?
Thanks!I just posted this code somewhere else, it might help you. I verifies if the user "roort" is logged in:
import java.io.*;
public class CheckLogin {
public CheckLogin() {
super();
public static void main(String arg[]) {
try {
Runtime rt= Runtime.getRuntime();
Process p= rt.exec("who -q | grep root");
try {
int i= p.waitFor();
if(i == 0) {
BufferedReader br= new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
System.out.println("User: "+ br.readLine());
} else {
System.out.println("Process did not ran.");
} catch (InterruptedException iex) {
System.err.println("Error: "+ iex.getMessage());
} catch(IOException ioex) {
System.err.println("Error: "+ ioex.getMessage());

If you just search for Photoshop Elements (without limiting it to Photoshop Elements 8 as I did) you will get even more results...most if not all things should work in version 8. (Version 8 user interface will look different and may have additonal features as each version gets new goodies.) -
I can't connect to the itunes store. I have the latest version of itunes on my windows 7 computer. I can connect to itunes from my ipad and ipod but no my windows computer. i dont get any error message, the bar at the top just says accessing itunes
Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 n above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

I just installed Firefox on a new HP 600-1120 with Windows 7 and it is only running in "safe" mode. Why? How do I get it to run in "regular" mode? How does "safe" mode differ?

Use the Toshiba recovery disk or the Toshiba HDD recovery option.
If you dont have the Toshiba Recovery disk try the HDD recovery:
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R01.htm
This works only if the recovery image files from Toshiba are still on the HDD:
If you installed the system using another disk as Toshiba recovery disk, this recovery option will not work. -

I just bought an Apple TV and i have a bose sounddock with a mini jack in the back and and optical cord with a mini adapter on it (so optical cord going into the Apple TV and the mini adapter on the other end going into my bose dock but i dont get sound?
Not all the sound docks accept both analogue and optical on the auxillary input - I don't think the portable ones does but may be wrong - check the user manual.
As I said earlier all the mini optical (min Toslink) adapter does it make the optical connector fit a smaller socket, it does not convert digital audio to analogue for an analogue only auxillary input.

Just upgraded to MacBook Pro running 10.8.4. Want to convert old movie files to put in Itunes. Can't upgrade QT player preinstalled, so downloaded QT Player 7 and purchased QTPlayer 7 Pro registration code. Can not get it to upgrade. Called Apple 2x. If you have a fix, you can email me direct at [email protected]
Want to convert old movie files to put in Itunes.
What does "old movies" mean to you? File type, audio and/or video compression format(s)?
Can't upgrade QT player preinstalled, so downloaded QT Player 7 and purchased QTPlayer 7 Pro registration code. Can not get it to upgrade.
Did you follow the instructions found here?
If you have a fix, you can email me direct at [email protected]
To which fix do you refer? Activatng QT 7 Pro or converting the files? Even with QT 7 Pro activated you may need to modify your QT codec component configuration depending on the file type and compression formats used to encode your "old movies." There may be many different problems here with each having one or more "fixes." Please try to be more specific regarding your questions. Converting a muxed VOB MPEG2/AC3 file would be very different different from converting an AVI DivX5/MP3 file depending on which application you are attempting to use.
