I7 Struggling with Streaming

I finally got my i7 after 2 months of waiting for apple to get them sorted out, and have been 100% satisfied with the performance up until now. It seems I am incapable of streaming nearly anything. Here is my set up.
My iMac is located in my room, connected to my wireless network (along with 2 iPhones, a Macbook Pro, as well as 2 other iMacs), through a D-Link router.
I also have an xbox 360, wired to the same D-Link.
On top of that I have my Airport Express to play music on my stereo.
For about a week this had worked just beautifully. Streaming HD content to my xbox through Rivet was very quick, Airport Express worked perfectly with no drops. I've been pulling my hair out trying to figure out what happened, as none of this works now. It started with the Airport streaming cutting out for a few seconds and eventually started cutting out so much that I've had to stop using it.
I can still find my computer from the Xbox and browse the files presented by Rivet, but playing them is another story. Load times are ridiculously long and most of the time the movies simply dont play at all. Not only do movies not load on the Xbox, but upstairs on my Apple TV (wired), I am also incapable of playing anything from my shared movies.
I've done a bit of testing. I grabbed the hardline from my Xbox, and plugged it into my iMac. All of a sudden I could watch movies on the Apple TV again, but my Airport was still on edge. From there I unplugged the iMac and plugged in the Airport, and got streaming music with no drops.
I've restarted the router, restarted the computer, restarted and reconfigured the Airport Express. Nothing.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
- Thanks

This is a known Apple wifi problem. Still there's no "true fix" Apple knows this but they won't fix it.
Some suggestions would include switching your wireless router channel (default is channel 6). So switch it to Channel 1 or channel 11. Another option is trying to change the DNS setting. Good luck.
My core i7 has the same issues. Internet is very sporadic speeds. One minute its fast another its slow. I know its not my router. If I plug it directly into the ethernet, it's fast always. My wireless router is right next to the imac so I know it's not a signal issue.

Is anybody else struggling with an intermittent connection when using the Magic Mouse/Trackpad ONLY on Boot Camp?

Hi,
I've seen thousands of posts about Bluetooth connection issues and interference and stutter/lag for both the Magic Mouse and Trackpad (affecting both Mac OS X and Windows under Boot Camp) but my problem is different.
To summarise my setup, I use:
- Retina MacBook Pro (lid closed or open, doesn't make a difference to this problem)
- Thunderbolt Display
- Wireless Keyboard
- Magic Trackpad (have also tried a Magic Mouse and experience similar issues to the Trackpad)
And in Mac OS X, everything works perfectly. The keyboard and trackpad work smoothly when I'm 6-7 metres from the machine, whether or not the laptop lid is open or closed, and whether or not the Thunderbold Display is connected.
But on to my problem: the bluetooth connection is incredibly unreliable/intermittent when in Windows (I run Windows 7 64-bit and Boot Camp 4.0, and got both devices connected without any trouble via Bluetooth).
But during usage, the cursor stutters/lags frequently, and tap to click (when enabled) seems to get triggered by mistake all the time (even when I'm not touching the Trackpad or even at the computer, clicks get registered).
The Wireless Keyboard is perfect, and works well 5 metres from the machine. The Mouse and Trackpad, though, don't even work reliably when they are 6 inches from the machine. The built-in trackpad on the laptop works perfectly too, in Windows and Mac.
I spent a week assuming I was suffering from Bluetooth interference, so I tried:
- using the laptop with the lid open
- removing the Thunderbolt display completely and trying the Magic Trackpad
- repositioning items on my desk
- disabling wifi
All of these adjustments made minor differences to how good/bad the Trackpad was, but none came close to fixing the problem or making it work as smoothly as under Mac OS X. It was only after doing all of this that I realised perhaps it was just a Apple driver for Windows issue, so I booted into Mac OS X and tested everything out, and sure enough, it's all perfect. But back into Windows, the Trackpad doesn't work reliably at all.
Obviously, the hardware is not at fault, and I assume the signal strength doesn't vary between operating system (why would it?) so I'm left believing this must be a driver issue. The TrackPad and Magic Mouse drivers have been out for a couple of years, so I'm surprised they can still be this bad. I tried both the latest driver from Boot Camp 4.0 (3.2.0.0) for the Trackpad, and also the older one from Boot Camp 3.2 (3.1.0.7) and both are equally bad for me.
So my question is: has anybody else struggled with using the Trackpad (or Magic Mouse) with Boot Camp 4.0 and Windows 7 64-bit, whilst finding it to be perfect under Mac OS? I haven't found many posts complaining about the Windows driver, which is why I assumed it was an interference issue. But I'm almost sure it isn't, having spent 2 weeks investigating.
Any thoughts/suggestions/answers much appreciated!

SOLVED!
After much testing, I have found the cause of lagging/jumpiness on the Bluetooth Magic Mouse and Magic TrackPad in Boot Camp. Hopefully this will help others:
The drivers for the Broadcom 802.11n Wireless Adapter have a setting called "Bluetooth Collaboration" that is Disabled by default. Enabling this option removes the problem instantly. My Magic Trackpad now works flawlessly, even if I stand 6 metres from the machine. It now works just as well as under Mac OS. The setting can be found under:
Control Panel > Device Manager > Network Adapters > Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter (right click and choose "Properties". Under the "Advanced" tab, highlight the setting named "Bluetooth Collaboration", then change it to Enable. Then click OK.
I narrowed the problem down to the wireless card by disabling ALL startup services and processes for Windows, then re-enabling one by one. As soon as I enabled the Windows Wireless Service, the problem came back. Similarly, disabling the Wireless Card inside the Network and Sharing Center (or Device Manager) removes the problem. This led me to believe it must be a driver issue with the wireless card, since the problem didn't occur with the Magic TrackPad under Mac OS, or on my mother's Windows 7 64-bit computer. So when I went into the Driver Properties to check for an update, I found this setting about Bluetooth Collaboration.
I really hope this helps others trying to use Bluetooth devices under Boot Camp. All Apple notebooks use the Broadcom card (and have done for years), so this driver is installed for almost anybody using Boot Camp on an Apple notebook. I'd assume this problem would affect anybody using Boot Camp + wifi + a Bluetooth device.
Cheers

Please help me! I am struggling with the mesh tool!

So I want to make this chair look like it does in the picture, but I cant! There is a chapter in my Illustrator CS3 book explaining how to use gradient mesh and mesh tool, but it doesnt help me at all. I am clueless! The tutorial says that I can create points in the mesh simply by clicking with the mesh tool within an object, but when I try to do that, the pointer is "crossed out". I can only add extra points on lines or edges, but not on empty space within an object. What gives? Why is it that others can do it an I cant? Forgive me if I sound a little too upset, but I've been struggling with this for days and I cannot find an answer.
In this tutorial right here: http://www.layersmagazine.com/illustrator-gradient-mesh-tool.html the guy just clicks in empty spaces creating intersections. In my case it is impossible.
PS: Please look at an attached file and tell me what would be the best way to go about coloring this chair. Maybe I am doing this completely wrong? (I only started learning illustrator about 5 weeks ago)
Sorry for the background template being of poor quality, but this was taken from a book and scanned, so it's the best I could do.

You know something I think there should be a behavioral change in this case. To my way of thinking this option should automatically be disabled if you select the Mesh tool. If for some reason you want the mesh tool not to behave the way there might be a toggle or a double click to get the preferences for the tool 's behavior itself. I can see where this behavior can be useful but there needs to be a toggle.
Selecting the anchors for adding color with out accidentally creating a new mesh division is good thing but you need to be able to work both ways.
What do you think Scott Weichert you use the tool extensively, am i wrong?

I have continuously over the last 6 months struggled with syncing my iphone and ipod with itunes The app continually crashes during the picture import. AND by the way it takes 10-15 minutes before it even attempts to import photos. The screen says importing photoes but doesnt try to optimize or anything for 10 minutes. I have a 3gs with 16Gb so its not a cheap phone. I have 10Gb free. I have 6600 photoes. This is very frustrating and undermines my confidence in your products. My ipod is an ipod 4 with 16Gb also. It does the exact same thing to it. The last time, I had to import photoes a few at the time and with it taking 10-15 minutes each time for 6600 photos it is a long frustrating process. But it will import every photo a few at a time. The error message is just that itunes has stopped working. no hint as to why. AND of course, my phone is out of use for the entire time. You guys must not want to believe ur phones are a necessary tool...or maybe you dont want the consumer to believe it is. I have tried to find solutions on your website as well as through other 3rd party communities. Ultimately they were of no use. I stumbled onto my solution by accident since Im a bit of a computer geek...a semi-geek.

I have this issue too, I went into my Windows event viewer. (should have looked at this a year ago when this started)
it said this

basically whenever I try to sync my ipod touch 4G 64GB it crashes iTunes when it begins the pictures. if im lucky ill get 4-5 on there before it stops responding. its not my system or anything im running win7x64 8GB DDR3 ram (Corsair XMS3) AMD FX Eight core processor.
It is silly that iTunes cannot add pictures to apple devices. it shatters whatever incline I may have to buy apple products. knda like the Airport Extreem router my dad bought the new firmware, caused my router to not function... why release firmware that breaks a product. -_- <-- off topic but still

Hi there. I hoping for help. I am struggling with both...

hi there. I hoping for help.
I am struggling with both my WRT54G router set-up and i can't seem to use your online chat system. I hope that you can help.
I have just moved from Hong Kong to New Zealand and I'm trying to install my WRT54G, bought in Hong Kong, to connect to a Telstra braodband internet connection, but when I follow the instruction CD-ROM I get to the point (number 6 - although this point is numbered 7 in the instructions?!?) when I have connected the router it then says it is checking my settings and then it asks me to put in a password. It then checks my system again and then asks me for the password again, and this repeatedly. I can't get past this point. Because this was happening I pushed the reset button on the back of the router, but it still asks me for a password (I have tried using admin as the password without success) and then goes through the check and asks me for the password again. Any help would be great.
Thanks.

What windows OS are you running? It may have not installed correctly.
First go to control panel in start menu, then add/remove programs. it should be in there.
If you do not see it there then go to programs files and see if it is there. if so you can delete the folder it is in, then run disk clean up.
By manually setting up did this work? would like to know the end results.

I am having issues with streaming music from iTunes on my MacBook Pro to my audio system through AirPlay. Works perfectly with my iPod Touch. The AirPlay icon appears irregularly in iTunes and when selected doesn't connect. Running latest IOS software.

I am having issues with streaming music from iTunes on my MacBook Pro to my audio system through AirPlay. Works perfectly with my iPod Touch. The AirPlay icon appears irregularly in iTunes and when selected doesn't connect. Running latest IOS software.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

You said:
No, I do not want to "factory reset" my iPod. No I do not wish to do anything crazy long or hard to fix this.
That may be necessary, It is not what you want to do/not do but what is required to resolve your problem.

Just moved from microsoft word, struggling with one thing . . the view

I've just recently started using pages rather then microsoft word.
It seems great, but there is one thing that I'm struggling with, the page view
No Matter what I do I can't seem to show the pages left border (from the perspective of looking at the computer screen)
In word you can see the entire page, then there is space where it finished and around the sides.
I can't seem to get the view to show the space around the top of the first page and the left border of all the pages.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance

What about the view - one up option? I see it in the help but I don't see it in my document. When I click on View, I don't see one up as an option.
Anyone know if there's a way to see one page above/below the other, rather than spread out side by side?
It's not in the View menu. One-up & two-up is in the percentage box at the bottom left of the document.

Having problems with streaming!

I have a problem with streaming material from Apple Tv applications. I.E. youtube, netflix. No probems with running items from my itunes library of music and movies within my network. I don't have problem streaming youtube or netflix through my xbox 360, so it doesn't seem like it's an internet issue.

I would still troubleshoot the network.
Go to speedtest.net to verify connection speed
Check istumbler or netstumbler for interference on the network
If using wifi try ethernet
Make sure you are using your ISPs DNS

Struggling with Applying Cell refences of formulas to multiple cells

Probably a basic question- I am new to Numbers.
Ive been struggling for ages with applying a formula or cell reference to more than one cell at a time. If I select multiple cells (shift or command clicking them) - then I am unable to create a new 'Cell References'. Pressing the equals = sign merely gives me an error sound. And the formula bar is not accessible
I have been struggling with this on and off now for about a week. Help - well it doesn't help and implies that I am doing the right thing, but it is not working. - Please help

A better use for your time was to read carefully *Numbers User Guide* and *iWork Formulas and Fucnctions User Guide*.
We may insert a reference to a range of cells in a cell's formula but we can't insert a formula in several cells with a single task.
The correct protocol is :
insert the formula in the first cell of the range then use the fill down (or fill up or fill to the right or fill to the left) feature.

Headphones with streaming video

Brand new LG LED Snart-TV (model 55lb6300). I use headphones sometimes, specifically TV-Ears Digital. These work off of the opitcal connection. However I get no audio with them when viewing Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc. (to which I am subscribed). These are linked as apps on the TV. I do get audio through the set's speaker, but at dimished levels. Put another way, I get good audio with the headphone when watching cable but nothing with streaming. My input for the cable is via HDMI (ARC). Streaming comes via WiFi. All suggestions appreciated.

Request for Comments and Experiences with Streams Advanced Queuing

Hi,
I would like to get some feedback about what your experiences with Streams Advanced Queuing. What do you like about it? What don't you like? How do you use it? What features would you love to see in it? Please post to the forums. Thanks!

I love the new homeless Instant Client! I wish we had it years ago. Some comments:
1) The MS ODBC administrator GPF's (blows up) when trying to configure a new data source using the new Oracle IC drivers. Have to hand-edit the registry.
2) I heartily agree with the request that the new client install without requiring the normal Oracle installer. It's just too bloated for easy deployment. I'd rather hand install the files than to have to use that. Also, .zip not .jar please.
3) Need better documentation on the connection string options. It took me 3 weeks to figure out that what used to be scott/tiger@mydb is now scott/[email protected]:1524/mydb.xxx.yyy (it's looking for the GLOBAL_NAME, not the SID and TNSPING won't show you that! Doh!)
4) Please let us specify a range of ports (e.g. :1521-1524) and let it figure out where the SID is on that machine. We move ours around and don't want to update hundreds of clients with hardcoded command lines.
5) Maximum backward compatibility, please! It's not easy moving all those Oracle apps to 8.1.7.4+ databases, yet, but my old OCI client programs should not have to care. I don't want to have 2 SQL*net driver stacks on my PC's.
Thanks -- I'll be watching for new features.

SendXMLtoClient -- struggling with it - Help!!

Hi,
I am trying to do do an example of the "Client Call Addin Response DTD" i.e. pass
an XML document to an external java
program.
As given in docs :
http://e-docs.bea.com/wli/docs70/devclient/appa.htm#1120726
1. I have created a template definition
2. Defined a XML doc.
(as per the Client Callin Request DTD) and attached to
ActionSendXMLToClient event as shown below.
<call-addin name="mywlpi.addinimpl" mode="async">
<actionid>959395846210</actionid>
<parm>itemNumber</parm> </call-addin>
3. "mywlpi.addinimpl" is a java program I created
4. Now, the problem I run into is
when I run from Worklist (Swing client program), it errors out
saying it cannot find this class file:
ClassNotFoundException: mywlpi.AddInImpl
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: mywlpi.AddInImpl
at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:200)
5. I have included the class file in a .jar and included in the
SVRCP of startWebLogic.cmd file. Also, when I create a
Business Operation from Studio, I can locate this Java class.
So, I am not sure what is missing. The strange part is when I
run from the Worklist JSP page, it errors out saying : "Cannot
execute this task, because it is already done." The task is not
yet done.
Is there someone who can help me here? Any suggestions
appreciated!!
Thanks, SLN

You say you added the class to the server classpath but you don't say that
you've added it to the client's classpath. Its the client that is giving you the
error, right? If so, is the class in the worklist's classpath?

I have a dynamic table that calculates the sum of all rows, no issue. I'm struggling with pulling out a subtotal though. I would like to have a check box in each row that flags those rows and gives the sum of their total. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here's something I threw together rq. The script is in the change event for the checkbox in the table. (Of course, you'll have to modify it to suit the names of your fields.)
var rows = xfa.resolveNodes("tblAmounts.Row1[*]");
var subtotal=0;
for (i=0; i<rows.length; i++) if (rows.item(i).cbAdd.rawValue == 1) subtotal = subtotal + rows.item(i).nfAmount.rawValue;
nfSubtotal.rawVlaue=subtotal;
