If you use EyeTV and AppleTV on a PowerPC, READ THIS!

I previously posted a thread about a weird failure with AppleTV disappearing from the Devices list after installing QuickTime 7.1.6, but it turns out that the problem is more complex.
I have a 1Ghz G4 iMac running 10.4.9, an Elgato EyeTV 250 connected on USB, and a new AppleTV on wireless. After installing the 7.1.6 QT update, the AppleTV disappeared from the Devices list in iTunes, and in addition, the new AppleTV-compatible version of EyeTV's software (2.40) started freezing and working like trash.
It turns out that the problem is a bad interaction on PowerPC Macs between EyeTV 2.40 and QT 7.1.6. It is not a failure of iTunes or the AppleTV.
Yesterday, Elgato sent me a link to a new build of 2.40 they came up with after receiving reports of this problem. They indicated they had only received problem reports from owners of PPC-based Macs (my fiancee's MacBook works fine with it all) and they patched the code.
A link to this patch is here:
http://s3.amazonaws.com/eyetvbeta/eyetv24_betabuild2654.zip
Be advised that this is a beta patch, download ONLY if you experience freezing with EyeTV after installing 7.1.6 and if you experience the disappearing-AppleTV problem in iTunes. It contains no new features. I expect that this is a temporary link, but if you're having the problem now, go get the patched code. It fixed everything quite immediately for me.

Interesting. Thanks. I've been freakin' out over ATV disappearing from iTunes without warning. I assumed it was a problem with Bonjour since I have another program (Teleport) that relies on the Bonjour network and seems to suffer the same as ATV. Using Bonjour Browser I see that the ATV's are missing from the device list when they stop showing up. iTunes is there but the ATV's are not.
I'll try the patch and report back. I'm running a PPC G5 Dual with EyeTV 2.4 and two ATV's with iTunes and QT 7.1.6. The bizzare thing is if I shut my computer off at night (and ATV is missing from iTunes), when I turn it on in the morning, ATV is right there in iTunes and both units show up on Bonjour Browser. Doing a cold reboot or restarting EVERYTHING including the G5, ATV's, Airport Base Station, router, cable modem, etc., during the day doesn't help. I have to shut down the G5 and wait overnight. Then everything is back. That has me totally baffled!!!

  • How do you use forward and back button on mouse and use "zoom" in web browser.

    Ok so apparently this forum is ruled with an iron fist or something my very honest and truthful problems with these issues seem to have been instantly deleted in my last discussion?
    I'll try this once more.
    1) How do you use the forward and back button on a mouse without having to buy a product like Steer Mouse? There must be a way to do this without having to buy a program given it's such a useful feature that 99% of users need. I don't want to spend hours researching something that should already work. Any advice?
    2) How do you zoom in for web browsers like Chrome without it globally zooming in everything on the monitor (even background applications). I don't want to zoom in background applications. I want to be able to zoom in the web browser and still maintain all the features like the side bar, not just a little magnifying glass type thing.
    I'm currently zooming in with the CTRL-Middle Mouse button, but I can't find a way to use this feature so it's useful to browse the web it seems to not scale the browser correctly but rather is a global zoom. Any solution for this?

    Thanks so much!
    Like I said I am new to Apple products so it's still unclear to me which programs I do or don't need as I'm setting up and configuring all my software and devices.
    The Logitech Control Center appears to work perfectly for what I was trying to do!
    I accidently clicked "This helped me" instead of "This Solved My Question", sorry about that this was a solve!

  • Can you use VGA and DisplayPort at the same time.

    I have a T500 with the ATI graphics. I currently have it set up with only a VGA monitor. I am wanting to also get the DisplayPort to VGA adapter. Will I still be able to use both external monitors and my laptop monitor? If anyone has done this let me know. I have read that you can use VGA and DVI but neither of my monitors have DVI.

    Exceptions are used when there are some mistakes , or exceeds the supposed values, we can highligt that in different colours for enabling the validator to notice easily. In this we are giving conditions for considering the value as exceptions. suppose, if the values is out of the range -1 to +1 then exception.
    But conditions can be considered as the restrictions given in measure level also. So please elaborate what you meant by conditions

  • How do you use keywords and info?

    I'm new to iphoto and wondered what keywords and info are intended for.
    How do other people use them?
    Thanks

    I use Events simply as big buckets of Photos: Spring 08, July - Nov 06 are typical Events in my Library. I use keywords and Smart Albums exensively. I title the pics broadly.
    I keyword on a
    Who
    What
    Where basis (The When is in the photos's Exif metadata). I also rate the pics on a 1 - 5 star basis.
    Using this system I can find pretty much find any pic in my 25k library in a couple of seconds.
    So, for example, I have a batch of pics titled 'Seattle 08' and a typical keywording might include: John, Anne, Landscape, mountain, trees, snow. With a rating included it's so very easy to find the best pics we took at Mount Rainier.
    File -> New Smart Album
    set it to 'All"
    title contains Seattle
    keyword is mountain
    keyword is snow
    rating is 5 stars
    Or, want a chronological album of John from birth to today?
    New Smart Album
    Keyword is John
    Set the View options to Sort By Date Ascending
    Want only the best pics?
    add Rating is greater than 4 stars
    The best thing about this system is that it's dynamic. If I add 50 more pics of John to the Library tomorrow, as I keyword and rate them they are added to the Smart Album.
    Keywording takes time to set up, there's no doubt about it. I use Keyword Manager as it's much more powerful than the inbuilt system, and adds the possibility of nested keywords. So, for instance, if I add John to a photo it also adds 'Family'. Now I can add many keywords to a pic quickly.
    In the end, organisation is about finding the pics. The point is to make locating that pic or batch of pics findable fast. This system works for me.

  • My New iphone 5s gets hot quickly when using GPS and downloading apps/movies. Is this normal? My Iphone 5 never did that!

    I Have had my IPhone 5s for less than a month and have noticed that it gets very hot while downloading apps/movies and while using GPS.  (not at the same time) Battery life is also disappointing!  Normal?? My 5 never had this problem!

    Hi anthonym73,
    If you are having an issue with your iPhone getting hot you may want to read this article for some guidance -

  • When I use email and click on it to read it or delete it, nothing happens

    when i click on delete on my email nothing happens

    BT are, I think, in the process of moving us from yahoo to an alternative provider. Have you missed any messages from them about this? I think they intend that we shouldn't notice, nor have to do anything, but anyone who, like me, has set it to use a named yahoo server rather than BT's alias may find it stops working when the switch-over happens.
    I'd try adding a second instance of the account, and see what settings Thunderbird finds for you.

  • How do you use voice and data at same time?

    I'm on a call and need to look up data from a file also on my phone. What's the simplest and most effective way to simultaneously do this? Thanks in advance.

    If you're with Verizon, you can only do this in a wifi area.
    The simplest way is to tap the home button and then tap the icon of what you want to do. You'll either have to use speakerphone or an earpiece in order to see the screen .

  • Can you use footnotes AND endnotes in the same document?

    I just found out today that I have to have both footnotes (for comments and annotations) and section endnotes (for citations), to follow the formatting guidelines for my thesis... do you know if it's possible to use both with Pages '09?  I've spent a long time formatting as it is and really don't want to transfer my document to Word or anything (since I'll lose some of my settings)...  I would appreciate any suggestions!  Thanks!

    The style of footnote/endnote is part of the Document settings so it appears that only one applies per document.
    You could switch between them and copy the endnotes as ordinary text into a document which has footnotes.
    That would be the only workaround I can think of.

  • Can you use GPS and Navigation on a 5230 without a...

    Hi all,
    I'm just wondering if you can use the Maps software on a 5230 without a SIM card. It works perfectly well with one, but the sim I will use in this phone does not have a data package, so I don't want to use Maps if I can only get GPS data in conjunction with a data connection.
    Could someone please advise?
    Thank you!
    John.

    Hi GarfordJB
    Yes you can as just put my 5230 into "Offline" profile, but bear in mind that takes longer to lock on to position as totally dependent upon Integrated GPS.
    You would need to go to Menu > Applications > Location > Positioning > Positioning methods and disable all except "Integrated GPS" as per screenshot here:http://i50.tinypic.com/2lk4g1w.jpg
    In Maps application click on "spanner" icon bottom left of screen > Internet and set "Connection" to "Offline"

  • How do you use RGB And CMKY colours in the same document for print?

    I want to create a piece of work with a navy blue back ground and a font on top but don't want to change the colour just the RGB to CMKY mode so the colour looks slightly brighter sitting on top. I have seen this printed out in black and looks amazing but don't know how to create it. Could someone please help?

    Sophie,
    Your File>Document Color Mode (along with the Edit>Color Settings) determines how the colours are interpreted, more specifically fitting it into the colour gaumt in question. CMYK Color (Mode) had a narrower gamut of less bright colours, RGB has a wider gamut of more vivid colours.
    Your Window>Color palette expresses the colours in terms of your chosen combinations of CMYK or RGB (or a few others) values, which are then interpreted by the colour mode.
    This means that you can have four combinations: you may insert CMYK values in both CMYK and RGB mode, and you can insert RGB colours in both CMYK and RGB mode.
    You will find that most CMYK/RGB values will change once saved, owing to the fundamental differences between the two colour modes.

  • Could you please tell me, how can you, using Lookout and Field Point, program on/off relay actions using a calendar?

    It´s a on/off illuminating ssystem control. Shure the user will need a calendar programing tool to program weekdays, holidays, etc. on of functions.

    Hi Galileo,
    See the following for Lookout side of things:
    http://exchange.ni.com/servlet/ProcessRequest?RHIVEID=101&RPAGEID=135&HOID=506500000008000000DBE90000&USEARCHCONTEXT_CATEGORY_0=_9_&USEARCHCONTEXT_CATEGORY_S=0&UCATEGORY_0=_9_&UCATEGORY_S=0
    As for FieldPoint, you can talk to it from Lookout in couple of ways -- either directly using the native FieldPoint object, or via OPC using the OPCFieldPoint object.
    Based on the timers from above, you would turn On/Off the relays (on the RLY-420 module of your FieldPoint).
    That's in a nutshell. Write back if you have specific questions.
    Good luck!

  • Can you use GPS and get Live Traffic while using Turn By Turn?

    I can see the traffic if I am not using the turn by turn but as soon as I get directions Somewhere the traffic does not display. I have to cancel the navigation so it appears. Is this normal? It does this on both apple maps and google maps.

    Can someone please help me?
    thanks

  • I want to put music onto my partners phone from my Mac computer. The message comes up that her phone is synced with another iTunes library (not in use anymore) and do I want to erase this iPhone and sync with this itunes library.

    There is currently no music on her iPhone and all the apps are already in the iTunes library on the mac that I want to sync it to so its not a problem, the apps won't be lost.
    My question is are photos and messages and contacts classified as iPhone contents? Because I don't want those to be wiped. So can I sync her phone to this iTunes library? I have not been able to find online whether or not photos and contacts will be lost.
    Also her phone is already backed up on this computer because it gets plugged into it all the time we have just not tried to put music onto it yet until now.
    Thanks for any help clarifying this

  • Airport Extreme and DYNDNS problem - TESSERAX PLEASE READ THIS

    Good evening to all.
    I've a problem with the configuration of an airport base station with dynamic DNS.
    I followed the advice of TESSERAX here, but without success: airport does not connect to DynDNS and does not update the IP address.
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3413
    Days ago I was able to run DYNDNS but with completely different parameters, as described here (scroll to the middle, at the chapter: "Setup Your Dynamic Global Hostname in the AirPort or Time Capsule") :
    http://dyn.com/support/airport-time-capsule-with-dynamic-dns/#setup-apple-airpor t
    Unfortunately, after making some changes in the airport configuration (which is abolutely not related to the DYNDNS), this has stopped updating the IP. I've tried to restore the configuration, reflash ecc but without success.
    This is my configuration:
    - PC Windows XP-SP3 running AirPort Utility 5.5.3 (FWIW there is an annoying bug that prevents you from writing the dot "." in the hostname field, the only solution is to use the copy-paste).
    - AirPort Extreme with 7.6 firmware ( 7.6.1 also available but I've read that isn't much better)
    I also own an AirPort Express 2nd gen with 7.6.2 firmware, I've tried to use this in the place of airport extreme but idem, no success.
    So, please please please HELP ME. Thanks everyone, Damiano

    Hello Tesserax, happy to read you.
    Yes, I referred to the part #2 of your guide but I've also read many of your other posts about it. In fact, let me thank you for your willingness, it's people like you that make the web a better place.
    I also spent a good part of the night reading all the other threads on DynDNS but without success.
    As for my DynDNS account, this is obviously a free account. The host name is like "<pc-name>.dyndns.org" as the user name using my email address (with or without domain "@ gmail.com" works anyway).
    Click here to see a screenshot: http://i33.servimg.com/u/f33/16/33/96/86/dyndns13.jpg
    In desperation, I also called a friend who lent me his Netgear modem/router, which supports DynDNS: well, it was enough to enter hostname, username and password so that everything started to work perfectly.
    I am truly saddened
    There's also an odd thing I don't understand: if I press the CTRL key and EDIT simultaneously in the AirPort window, appear three other fields... What are these?

    Thanks in advance for all the help you'll give me. Damiano
