ILap + PB 17 = discomfort - Or am I just crazy?

I bought an iLap a few weeks ago for my PB17" to use mostly on my lap and to hopefully use on a desk in school. Well, the more I used it, the worse my right hand and both arms hurt. My arms hurt from the pressure of the wrist rest which ends up being an arm rest instead due to the stretch to the keyboard. My right hand, or more precisely the palm, hurt the more I used the trackpad, again because of the wrist pad. Yes, I could take the wrist pad off I suppose, but I kind of felt like the PB would slide off or something. Not to mention, it's supposed to HELP, not hurt!
I've looked all over the forums looking for similar "issues" with this and find that I may be the only one. Am I crazy or what here?

Just a thought, you may just be a tad overreacting, just a bit. Take a deep breath, HOLD IT. Count 1, 2, 3, RELEASE. Ah, breath slowly, don't you feel a little bit better? No, No, like this, BREATHE s l o w l y, easy - s l o w l y .
Why don't you try using the iLap without the wrist pad. It's much more comfortable! You can remove the pad by simply separating the Velcro and taking it off.
It won't slip off, I've had it that way almost immediately. It doesn't move a bit even while using the PowerBook for for hours. Matter of fact, once you remove the wrist pad you'll never put it back on!
I've had the iLap for since the day it was introduced and I LOVE IT! The iLap is a must have for any PowerBook or MacBook Pro owner.
I'm surprised they haven't thought of a black anodized aluminum iLap for the HOT! HOT! HOT!* black MacBook. That would be one COOL combination!

Looking for an effect that I thought was in Audition, or maybe I am just crazy haha

For whatever reason I cannot find this effect (then again like I said, maybe I am just crazy because I might have seen it someplace else). Anyway, it is the effect that makes your audio come to a stop like it is playing on a turntable (losing power quickly). It sort of fades out while slowing down the audio.
I looked through the effects and didn't find it and I could of sworn I have seen it before. I tried recreating the effect from the FTT filters options but it just didn't sound quite right. If anyone could help me it would be greatly appreciated.

It is a really cool preset it is!
Only works in Edit mote, quite naturally.
(This doesn't mean your not crazy after all)

Am I just crazy? Didn't there used to be a color picker?

So, as far as I can remember, there was a tool in Leopard that let you hover over any color in any application and find it's code to replicate it... I thought it was called Color Picker and looked like a little eyedropper with a color wheel behind it.
Now, I can't find it. I'm wracking my brain to locate it, but I can't.
My main objective is to get a color I saw on a website into Photoshop, but since I can't find OS X's built-in color utility to get the hex code, I can't get it right in my graphic.
Any suggestions on locating the Color Picker? Or on how to import colors from websites to my Photoshop swatches?

I hope I wasn't one of the smarmy ones . . .
I really thought you just weren't seeing it.
When a user moves an app out of the place the system
expects to see it, it will ignore it.
In the past, a lot of users wanted to group all their browsers into one
folder they made themselves, called, "Internet apps." So Safari, Camino, FF, etc.
all went in that folder. When doing updates, the apps were not found free standing in the application folder, and they were ignored, i.e., never updated.
So the explanation you got makes sense to me.
EDIT: Maybe if you use it a lot, make an alias for it in the Dock where you can easily access it.

Maybe i'm just crazy??

Well I just did a whole lot of reading and funny thing there’s a group of people who by some odd reason plans to hate and will make sure a devise never get the respect it needs, The devise is called the e90 the only thing that I seem to read about is that it’s not perfect it’s just a n95 with a keyboard, but I’m fine with that how bad can that be? It’s not hard to tell I’m fairly new to the tech world but what’s all the hype about with the Psion? If it was really that good why did they stop making it? And who where the user’s?? Someone tell me did it have a media function I don’t think video play work as well as it do today no matter what your lively hood is I’m sure we all play music play games surf the web ect… (From time to time) What did the Psion have other than a better keyboard, I think the Psion was timeless piece but let’s move forward after all the what the iphone proves that sky is no limited to where technology is going, 2002 was the birth of the pda/smartphones giants from everywhere I had an 9500 for a few months did I like it yes! Will I buy it today no! Am I looking to fill the gap by buying the e90 yes! Will I it do the job maybe? lets face it the facts pro’s and con’s will always be I just hope it comes to the USA. And I hope Nokia don’t do that bullsh_t with the n95 than launch the USA version after I sent $767 ‘I hate Nokia marketing team’
In the end nokia will call the world

You better be careful. The E90 haters/time warpers will be after you soon (the mods won't help) and they will get a group in secret behind your back in the PM spaces and plot your demise. Best bet is to say the E90 is **bleep**, not a Communicator, has flaws, and for the love of all that is electronic, please complain, complain, complain that there is no fax. This way you will buy into their good graces and they might teach you the secret handshake to their little club.

This is just crazy!! Optimization is ruining my iPhone

I just spent a couple of hours shrinking a large quantity of photo's down to fit them onto my iPhone, and have now got 151 pictures down to just over 10Mb in overall size.
I then put them onto my iPhone 3G, and for some reason, it took 80Mb of space!
Is there any way to get my 10.6Mb of photo's to only take up 10.6mb of space?
Is there a specific filetype/resolution that the iPhone prefers, over any other? I have Photoshop, so if I change them all to the correct type/size/resolution, will it reduce the space taken up to a sensible one?

Sorry that you wasted your time. Regardless of the original size of the images, the 'optimization' that occurs for the sync makes all images a uniform size (resolution and disk space). Images will all end up as ~0.6 megapixels and 672 KB, even if they were smaller than that before 'optimization'. There's no way to change that setting.

"You are no longer logged into your profile" - So....Palm just decides to delete my data???

I was told to post this over in this Palm forum also so hopefully SOMEONE from Palm/HP will address this... I could not find a bug report area but perhaps someone can log this.
So after months of (mostly) happily using a Pre Plus, Wednesday I get the message that I am no longer logged into my profile, and do I want to reboot or erase my data??!! I googled, and yup, it's an issue....So I reboot...same options, this reboot, it starts and asks me if I want English as my language. Woops!!! No data!
Now of course palm profile does not backup anything on my phone really....I sync direct to Exhange and use Chapura sync to a desktop Outlook PST file. So I spend the next 5 hours restoring and syncing. Just crazy. Why can't it just say that you are not currently logged in, we will try again in an hour?? And what right does palm have to delete MY data that the profile does not even backup??? My exchange and chapura sync'ed data? Sure, I can re-sync with both of those. But my Chapura only if I am on the same wi-fi network as the local PC. So what does that mean if I am traveling? And re-syncing a huge volume of contacts takes forever. And you lose all the linked contacts also!
So I call the carrier and Palm. The carrier says...."well if your phone originally was under another phone number and you changed it as part of an upgrade, that can cause it." Huh? This can affect me months later I say??? My phone number upgrade change was done BEFORE I even turned on the phone. Palm does not even know about that first number!
So I called Palm. The guy says it can happen if 2 people use the same e-mail or credit card in their palm profile. Now since it won't even allow you to setup the same e-mail twice, I'd like to know how THAT would happen. No one on my plan uses the same card.
So the question is. We know this happens sometimes. Is there any source with credibility that really knows WHY this happens??? And does any setting reduce the likelihood of it happening again? And why can't Palm make the results less debilating? There is NO REASON that it needs to delete your data. This is crazy.
Also, other than my few purchased apps, none of my critical data is even backed up by the Palm Profile!!! I still had to re-create all my POP3 accounts, change all my preferences back, re-sync with Exchange, re-sync with Chapura, and then re-marry all the contact duplicates that Synergy did not handle right. So what's the worth?
Can the Palm Profile/backup be turned off? Does changing the palm profile in the apps perferences setting from "submit password every 4 hours" (whatever that means) to only at purchase help??
Do you have any other options when you get that reboot r erase prompt? Pull the battery without answering the prompt perhaps???????
If I am on the road and this happened, I would be without half my contacts until I returned which is unacceptable. This is very disappointing. I cannot believe the default action is not "let's TRY AGAIN", and not, "hey, let's erase all of this user's data on him"!!!
If this happens one or two more times, I have had it. I will be looking at another OS and phone after having Palm phones and organizers for the last 10 years or so. This is unacceptable.
BJB

Thanks for the reply. Nowhere in here do I get the sense that Palm even thinks this is a problem or are going to work on fixing it. It implies Palm thinks it is okay and the problem is me, the user, the customer, because I do not want my data resided on Palm's servers or Google's servers. Does Palm understand this is an issue whether my data is on my home PC or in the cloud and in Palm Profile??? The issue is not how I choose to store just one of my calendars and contact lists (out of 3). The issue is a bug in the Palm profile system.
The first point is this.... Regardless of HOW this happens, Palm should not immediately erase all of my data!!!! Let's say I DID sync all my data to Palm Profile. I STILL would not want to have to re-download everything just because of some glitch with your backup servers, the carrier's network, or my phone!!! Go look at some pre forums. You will see many people that DO sync all of their data to their profile, and they are STILL upset with this Palm BUG. If security is the concern, how about asking for a password first vs. just asking whether I want to reboot or erase all data? If it is really me, I would know the password! Your answer seems to imply that what is happening is OKAY. It is NOT okay whether I sync everything to Palm profile or not!
Further, even if all my data WAS backed up to Palm Profile, you still lose all preferences, all manually matched synergy contacts, etc.... etc... Again, I would still be very upset if all my data was erased even if EVERYTHING was backed up to Palm profile. DON'T ERASE MY DATA!!!
I have no problem re-synching my exchange e-mail after a problem. It works from the road, etc. However after 10 years, Palm decided to not suport the syncing of home PC's with the Pre. An unfortunate decision as Palm was a pioneer in this. You talk about security....Perhaps some of us do not want our data stored on Palm servers or google servers!!! Yes, indeed, in the event of a crash I cannot restore from the road. I can live with this if the crash was from a hardware or software issue. But it is NOT OKAY if it is caused by Palm just because of some system glitch. Since you are not restoring my home PC data anyway, why erase it?
You talk about being logged out of your profile. My phone was just used, and it was sitting on my desk. Just sitting there. And then it popped up that "I was no longer logged into my profile". What causes this? Why does it not give me a chance to re-login? How come after the erase of data and reboot I was then magically "logged in" and it was working? Did the person that was trying to steal my non-existent data in my palm profile stop trying?
So are you telling me that someone was trying to use my phone SIM, on a pre plus, with my e-mail, and had my password....and trying to login, and that is why I got the message? And then magically right after I rebooted, they stopped trying and all was okay???
I do not believe that is the case. And again, if it is, ask for my password, or a security question, or SOMETHING to confirm that it is me. And a simple google search will tell Palm/HP that this is a problem many of us have had. If I have it consistently, as I said, a 10 year customer is gone.
BJB
PS. A reply that said: "Palm is aware of this problem and will correct it with the next software update" would be a lot more comforting.

Why can't I just press ENTER to go to the page when I have the complete URL typed into the address bar?

I dunno; maybe I'm just crazy, but I'd swear that before I downloaded FF4, I used to be able to (1) type in a complete URL, or (2) type a partial URL or keyword and choose what I wanted from a drop-down of recent URLs, then hit ENTER to be taken to the page I was looking for--all in the address bar, without having to use my mouse to click the little curly arrow at the right end of the address bar (next to the "favorite" star).

BINGO! SOLVED IT!! It was that rotten AVG safe search. Bravo, and thank you, TonyE! (I often suspect I'm losing my marbles; glad to know that this time it was a false alarm;)

Just won't start up anymore.

A Duel 2 GHz G5 won't start up anymore. After and if it restarts, it keeps asking me it can't find Mouse and wants to search for Bluetooth mouse and such. Reset SMU and am in the process of restarting G5 at this moment. Fan is going crazy right now with blue screen just now opening. At least I am getting the blue screen. Before I was finally getting desktop but nothing else but machine wanting to search for Bluetooth mouse and such but never consistent. Sometimes start up would take forever but never finished. Kept asking for Bluetooth mouse. Just crazy. Fan is still going crazy and still blue screen.
Any ideas? Need help now Please!

Had to power button shut down 10 times to finally get tray open and ran DiskWarrior. Only been two weeks since last ran but critical issues repaired. After running DW restart and same thing. Fan running like crazy and won't finish restart. Sounds like problem previous message from Michael Vejar is having.
Will have to force shut down and take in to store for further work.

I just got my computer back from Apple - They fixed nothing

Long ago I made a post expressing concerns that none of the animations on my computer were as smooth as my girlfriend's Macbook with the same specs. I tried everything recommended to me, including typing some stuff into the console. Nothing fixed it.
In order to make sure I wasn't just crazy, I downloaded Xbench, a program recommended to me for benchmarking. I was told that my score should be around 100.
That being said, my score does not get above 70. Clearly something is wrong with the graphics processing on my computer because when running to through the graphic benchmarking portion of the test, my girlfriend's computer speeds through it, whereas mine goes fairly slow.
After being completely stumped by the problem, I took my computer to the Apple store nearby to get repaired. The Mac Genius didn't seem to believe that anything was wrong (he refused to acknowledge the benchmarking program) and said he'd have my logic board replaced anyway.
I just recieved my computer today and nothing has changed. I'm still getting low scores on Xbench and none of my animations are as smooth as they should be. What the heck is going on? Is it possible that nothing was actually replaced, or could the problem be stemming from something that isn't on the logic board? A RAM diagnostic didn't turn up anything...

A computer's performance is affected by software or else hardware issues. If the memory chip isn't 'seated' right, hard drive speed or read capacity, whatever. Could be anything. In regards to software, there can be installation issues - people say that a fresh install with all-at-once updating has less problems than an install where you upgrade or "add" to another install. Same goes for updating after you add software applications - it is just more complex and less efficient. But there are so MANY ways to tune a computer. What about energy saving settings (vs "performance")? Also the more ikons you have on your desktop the more RAM is used. It is a learning curve you can begin by opening Activity Monitor. You want to watch how much RAM is used, disk activity, startup activities running in the background (display saver on or off?) and so on. CPU activity (and temperature) is a big indicator.
If you are hoping to someone here to post "one thing" that points to your concern, I doubt that will happen. Sometimes hardware is manufactured 2nd rate (the Seagate Drive issue from months back) and you MIGHT have a poor quality part in your machine. Not often though. Diagnosis takes time and patience. If you are in a hurry take heart in the fact that Macs have a great resell value and get rid of it / buy fresh, upgrade to the Santa Rosa - better video. (Or offer money & a trade for your GFs - maybe speed isn't as important to her).
If it were me I would try a fresh (erase) install & download all the updates at once. This is recommended by posters here. It is often posted that a new software update 'slows' a machine from prior to the update. I don't have an answer for why, except that the times I downloaded all-in-one updates I had less slowdown problems. It is a pain, though. And it may not 'fix' things. That's the reality of performance trouble-shooting, though. It's real life & it ain't fair.
Another way to go is to upgrade the performance through a new hard drive (7200 RPM).
Another thing to try is Opera / Firefox. I find Safari inconsistent - sometimes fast, next day slow. Opera and Firefox can really fly in comparison.
You are right to be annoyed. The logic of the situation is that a mass-manufactured unit should be measurably consistent (and it obviously isn't). The sad part is that these things can take so much effort to determine, it may not be worth your while to find out 'why'.

HDV Nightmare!!!

I recently filmed my first event (a wedding) in HDV with a pair of Sony Z1U cameras. I wanted to downconvert the video on capture, but ended up capturing native HDV. I am running a Power Mac G5, 2.3 gig dual processor, 2.5 gigs RAM, FCP 5.0.4, several external firedrives from LaCie, Other World Computing and an internal separate media drive. Anyhow here is what I encountered.
(1) When I captured the HDV footage (via log and capture method), FCP referenced everytime I hit the start/stop button on my camera and made a new clip automatically in the browser bin even though I didn't have my inpoints and outpoints set like that. I now have about 300 or so clips that need to be renamed between the two cameras. I checked out Apple's website and apparently from reading the posts, this is normal with FCP version 5.0.4. Apparently, this "bug" was fixed in a later update.
(2) I tried capturing the same tapes again, but this time as downconverted DV footage. I set my camera's VCR for HDV to DV capture, Ilink conversion on and my FCP preferences for DV NTSC anamorphic capture and sequence. I see the camera has a submenu for downconvert giving the option of squeeze, letterbox and crop edges. I want my footage downconverted as DV anamorphic, none of these three options.
FCP gave me some warnings that it was unable to locate capture device, audio might be used by another application and my VCR gave me a warning to change my VCR settings. I tried every imaginable setting between FCP and the ZIu and unplugged and replugged my firewire cable when changing settings.
Is anyone familiar with the Z1U? If so, what should my settings be for the camera and FCP?
I don't want 4x3 DV,; I want 16x9 DV.
(3) I don't want to edit in HDV after seeing the outrageous render times for a 20 minute multiclip sequence (the computer said three hours) b/c it had the orange needs render bar on top of the video. The same sequence as DV (with a green status bar on top) would take me on average 7 minutes or less. I'm delivering in SD for now, so I'd perfer not to mess with HDV.
(4) If later I want for some reason to output an HD-DVD or Blu-Ray when the technology allows (in the future of course) if I capture in DV will my FCP reference project allow me to just recapture my tapes without having to re edit if I want the same DV footage but then as HDV or HD?
Thanks,
Scott

Hi Andy,
I selected squeeze, but still cannot downconvert the video on capture. The preview window says okay and when I play the tape, no picture comes up, only the preview disabled window. I have gone back and forth in my audio/video settings in FCP 5.0.4. I've tried DV NTSC, DV NTSC anamorphic, etc. I have checked my sequence settings too. I just don't understand why I can't downconvert.
My computer is now busy trying to "confrom HDV" of a 20 minute multiclip edit which I haven't even edited only synced up on the timeline. I was given the three hour approximate render time...it's just crazy. The orange render bar is above my video...normally in DV, I get the green bar, which I can work in realtime and it takes a few minutes to render. At this rate it will take me all week day and night to finish this project!
There must be a solution to this HDV problems I'm having!

Iphone 5S - low reception at home

Hello all. I've had iphone 4 and 4s and now the 5s. I never had problems before with my reception at home. However, once i removed myself from the family plan, during my 4S, my signal strength at home went from 5 to 3(that's at best). Now on the 5S, im down to 1 or 2 bars. I already spoke with verizon and did a reset several times to no avail. I have voice and data roaming enabled - WHAT DO I DO?! And no im not buying the extender, thats just crazy.

I appreciate you testing that out for us! Since it is only in your home and the case didn't change your experience, it does appear to be interference caused by your house. This can occur for a variety of reasons like building material for example! Due to uncontrollable circumstances like this, VZW is unable to guarantee service indoors. Different models of devices may have different experience in the same area like you're experiencing. Since this isn't happening in other locations, it does not appear to be a device issue.
I know you mentioned previously you're not interested in a home solution. A network extender is an option in this situation however. Please feel free to check out the details here: http://vz.to/T2BjUO

How do i realise the most basic functionality with my zen tou

I've been playing around with my zen touch for a couple of hours now and I have to admit I'm impressed. The zen has certainly opened my eyes and challenged my previous foolish preconceptions about portable mp3 players which should be open platform, plug-and-play, straightforward and easy to use, because my experience thus far has not been any of these.
In an attempt to stop wasting any more my time I was just wondering if someone could quickly tell me how exactly do I manage the files which are already on my touch? A couple of things I would like to do:
. view and music files on my zen touch from some interface on my computer
2. copy music files from my zen touch back on to my computer
3. delete all music files without manually having to go through each and every album
Now I've probably made another crass assumption that it is infact possible to actually do this, but here's to hoping.
Now, the manual says I can use the creative mediasource organizer to transfer music to my touch. And indeed, Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2 claims to be able to do just this (transfer music tracks to and from your Creative portable music player using Sync Manager and SmartFit*). My question is... how? I've run the organizer, it looks like yet another music library management tool, great except for the whole part about that mp3 player stuff. Is there a hidden setting somewhere only available to stonemasons that will let me access my mp3 player?
I've also installed the Creative NOMAD Explorer (Version 3.0.0). Now, at least this works - in the same way a person in a coma can be said to li've. When I open the 'music library' I get an empty explorer window to I can click and drag mp3 files into it and it copies them over. So, I guess I have some functionality, although it would be kind of nice to have some feedback about what files I have on there.
Now as it's not april fools I'm not quite ready to accept that zen touch as the great big joke it appears to be, so if somebody could provide some insight I would really be grateful.
edit: forgot to mention, running .0.03 firmware, and the model number on the back is DAP-HD004. Upgrading to the 2. firmware is unfortunatley not an option at the moment.Message Edited by adante on 02-24-20060:7 PM

Mosey: thank you for the information. Just out of curiousity, was I just not paying attention and was this made known somewhere? Or do creative just expect you to potter around endlessly installing software in the hopes that you might randomly stumble across the right configuration?
Perhaps I am just crazy for assuming that if the latest firmware does not have a superseded message, it is still acti've and valid.
Anyway, I'm happy to report that the situation has been resolved mostly to my satisfaction. I was able to fob off my zen touch to some other sod, and actually make a profit from it, no less! This was quite a pleasant surprise because I usually dispose of fecal matter by flushing it down the toilet (but then, I don't have to pay for it either).
I have since purchased a noname mp3 player which, while having some pretty severe firmware, provides some great additional functionality which I have to admit I really like over the touch. Primarily, this was being able to copy mp3s to and from it* and hence use it as an mp3 player! I know this concept is a little radical, but I really think creative should look into it because it would really add some value to their current line of paperweights and doorsto
ps.
So thanks creative for that hilarious little experience. I have to admit, you guys certainly do manage to distinguish yourself from the field and push the limits of mp3 player technology. Where I used to think of a nai'vely spectrum of good to bad, I have since extended this from the good, to the bad, to the creative.
* This alone is a great feature I was never able to realise with my touch, and made even better by the fact I didn't have to install all sorts of half-baked software to achieve it!

Severe battery drain with iOS 8.1.2

I am having severe battery drain issues with iOS 8.1.2 with all my iOS devices (iPhone 6, iPhone 5s, iPad Mini Retina, iPad Air). I can have my device in DND mode overnight with 100% battery, then the following morning I will wake up to find my device down to 20%. The battery usage graph shows nothing abnormal, just very rapid battery drain. What gives?! I saw a couple other threads mentioning this issue. I have attempted Network Reset and verifying Bluetooth is off, but this is just crazy. Anyone else get a resolution on this or experience this after iOS 8.1.2?

tldr; Check the secd process on your Mac. If it is consuming greater than 50MB of memory...turn off Keychain sync on ALL your devices.
The Full Story
The last few months I've had instances where my iPhone would start getting really hot in my pocket, and the battery would drain at 3x the speed. After much research I also discovered that a process on my Mac (secd) had a vicious memory leak and that single process was consuming 13GB of memory and paging thousands of console messages. After discovering that the process was related to Keychain sync, I disabled keychain sync across all 5 of my devices. Immediately, the battery life on my iPhone was restored to normal.
After I reenabled Keychain sync across all my devices, everything would run fine for a while, but after a few weeks, the problem would resurface. And I would repeat the process of turning it off on all my devices, to effectively reset the iCloud keychain data.
Anyway, Apple does need to fix this, as it affects performance on both OSX and iOS.
