Important News For Those Who Use Hulu And Other Flash Video Websites.

Adobe will release the next update to the Adobe Flash software in the next few weeks and that update will bring better GPU video decoding acceleration for Windows if you have recent graphics hardware from ATI, Nvidia, or Intel. This update is VERY important for those who use laptops which have less powerful processors and hardware than desktops usually do. In order to take advantage of this update when it comes out, you MUST have the latest graphics cards drivers for your hardware. ATI, Nvidia, and Intel will all be releasing new drivers  specifically for the updated Flash software so keep an eye on the respective websites for your graphics hardware maker. Of those companies, only Intel and Nvidia have drivers available for testing at the moment, but ATI is not far behind.

You may be able to disable Flash entirely and just use HTML 5 video codecs to view the videos this is faster but you may lose access to some videos such as ones that have mandatory advertisements.

  • Lay-out tip(s) for those who dislike FF29 and want a classic (minimal) lay out

    Okay, I really really dislike the FF 29 layout and use of it. For me it makes no sense at all and find it also butt ugly. So did some searching and experimenting and thought I shared my finding so maybe others with the same opinion/feelings can benefit also.<br>
    There is the option for the Classic Theme Restorer but for me that is an add on that is way too complex for a simple task. So, not for me.<br><br>
    Here are the add-ons that make FF look old school with normal back- and forward button, a normal download window, add on bar and so on. Warning though: it is a minimalistic look. All the fancy non-productive nonsense and so on are gone. I use all this with FF 29 now and works (and looks) great.<br><br>
    1) LittleFox . This add-on makes everything "smaller". But as a kind of bonus it also gets the round buttons, tabs and so on out of the way. Info and download: <s>https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/littlefox-for-firefox/</s><br /> https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/littlefox-for-firefox/ <br><br>
    2) Addon Bar. A simple addon that adds the add-on bar, no need to restart FF. Info and download on <s>https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/the-addon-bar/ </s><br /> https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/the-addon-bar/ <br><br>
    3) Backward and forward arrows: really great add-on that brings back the normal backward and forward option. Info and downlopad on <s>https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/backforward-dropmarker/ </s> <br /> https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/backforward-dropmarker/ <br><br>
    4) Normal download window. I am very happy with this add on: the normal, down to earth and logical download manager. With download speed visible and so on. Info and download: <s> https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/downloads-window/ <br /> </s>https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/downloads-window/ <br><br>
    And that's it. Only four add ons to get FF back to it's great and logical layout it once had. If it is too minimal in your taste, I advise to not use the LittleFox add-on.
    Edit.
    I hope you do not mind, I have taken the liberty of editing the links so that they are capable of redirecting to other locales. So I removed the Dutch ''nl/''

    It looks like Google agents torpedoed Opera 10-11, causing them to make stupid "improvements" and not listen to users' feedback. Opera died. And now they have FF.
    Here's what Mozilla dev's say (and my comments):
    > Mozilla felt it was necessary to create a user interface that was the same for both mobile and desktop versions of Firefox.
    How did it feel THAT?
    My desktop will suddenly turn into a mobile???
    Am I Harry Potter or who?
    > We came up with this new look after thorough testing, user interviews and usability studies for over four years.
    If the result is BS, then probably something's wrong with that testing... or testers.
    > The idea is that you put the icons/ buttons you want to see all the time on the top toolbar.
    Totally wrong idea. First, I never want to see ANYTHING "all the time". (Do you? Really? o_O)
    Second, if I want to see buttons, I want to see almost all of them on the bottom toolbar!
    Or wherever I put them.
    Don't you, with all your "researches", realize that clever users ALREADY customized all that they wanted?
    So don't BS us saying that it's "in our interests".
    Just admit that you made a stupid thing, and correct it, before it's too late.
    Or you do only what Google tells you, because they pay?
    ...You say we don't understand you developers.
    Oh, that's for sure!
    But YOU should understand us, users, that's what matters.
    > The fact that you're looking down all the time to find something that is not there anymore is called muscle memory and it will take a bit of time to get used to the new situation.
    Exactly! If you want to kill some time, do that with your life, not mine.
    I'm not so young as you boys AND I JUST DON'T WANT to lose days and days to revert the interface or to learn how to use BS instead.
    I'm still unable to work in new Windows, XP has last acceptable Start panel for me.
    > You didn't hear or see any of us say 'GET USED TO IT', only 'please, give it a try first'.
    And if I don't want to?
    I'm just tired of "giving a try" to every of your stupid "innovation".
    You never make them optional, do you?
    Why don't I, writer, invent a new ABC every few months?
    Why don't you learn new ABC's again & again, if your life is too dull?
    Don't make my life more "interesting", I don't need that.
    > ...You didn't hear or see any of us say 'GET USED TO IT'
    > The web evolves and so do we.
    In other words, GET USED TO IT.
    (That's the worst kind of demagogy I ever heard.
    Evolution is improvement, not degradation.
    Justifying degradation by evolution means you think we are idiots.
    Thanx, very much).
    > Additionally, we only have a relatively small team of engineers working on Firefox; much of our progress depends on the work of volunteers!
    Don't tell me that you don't want to code twice: all the code for the old interface is already done.
    What you should do is make it faster and less memory eating. (But not at a cost that torpedoed Opera).
    So save you time and save us time. Leave the UI alone, and make your "improvements" as add-ons.
    Otherwise that once-great browser is just dying, too.

  • For those who use home theatres...

    I'm ready to switch to mac in the next week or so by hooking up a mac mini to a lcd tv and using my mac mini from the comfy chair, a scenario which I'm sure a good few mac mini users are in. Now onto my question which is about how you guys manage your keyboard and mouse on your couch. What keyboard and mouse setup do you use?Should I get just a normal everyday wireless mouse and keyboard or would a keyboard with a touchpad be better?
    Basically I'm just wondering how you manage your keyboard and mouse in your home theatre and what would be comfy to use? I await feedback from you all as it would be a big help, cheers.
      Windows XP  

    I use the apple bt keyboard and a logitech bt mouse. While I typically use it from a recliner, not the couch, I find it very convenient. I usually have the keyboard with 1/2 on my leg and the other 1/2 on the arm of the chair. I then use the mouse on the right arm of the chair. Works great. I also would have preferred the keyboard/trackpad though, but just didn't want to pay the money. One thing to be careful of is the difference between a Bluetooth keyboard/mouse and an RF (or other wireless) signalled one. The KeySonic wireless keyboard that is mentioned above is NOT bluetooth and will require a separate adaptor plugged into the computer that may or may not be included in the price. Range is also an issue with the other signal types. Bluetooth has a much better range (ideally up to about 30 feet/~10 meters).

  • Hint for those who configure ADS and faces Forbidden message in SM59

    If after installing and configuring ADS you face Forbidden message when testing it in SM59 see this:
    http://joeybear23.blogspot.com/2008/09/ads-rfc-test-results-forbidden.html
    If this is the case, you will need to alter the security settings for the application/service.
    Open your Visual Admin tool and to go Services>Security Provider.
    Choose Policy Configuration > sap.com/com.sap.engine.services.webservices.tool~wsnavigator
    Select the tab Security Roles. The applied security role for WSNavigatorRole needs to be "all."
    The ADS RFC Connection in transaction SM59 should work now.

  • For those with 2347HE's and other "unsupported" CPUs....

    we kinda need to make this a sticky for future reference or something.
    You NEED an 8MB BIOS chip form MSI europe.  If MSI USA doesn't want to help you, and they probably won't unless MSI Corporate plays nice, tell MSI Europe about your experience with MSI USA.  It took 15 days to get my BIOS chip in.  I am happy right now.
    ALSO...
    the board POSTs with 10GB of RAM.  (2 + 3 config) 
    The new BIOS chip allows for RAID 5 off the SATA

    ah, so it's our little secret or something?
    see, the reason you guys had such an influx of 2346/47 processor questriosn was a certain seller on ebay sold them for unbelieveably cheap when MS cashback was going on.  the deal is over, and everything is fine, but honestly, this is one of the best boards to support that system.   The demand has peaked and will drop off now.  only a few lucky people got this, and we all bought the same board.  MSI europe won't be overwhelmed, IMHO, but i could be wrong....

  • I upgraded to OS8 for my Iphone 5 and now I have no access to e-mail and several apps. How can I address this problem? For those who have an iphone 5 I recommend not upgrading to the new OS until these bugs are resolved.

    I upgraded to OS8 for my Iphone 5 and now I have no access to e-mail and several apps. How can I address this problem? For those who have an iphone 5 I recommend not upgrading to the new OS until these bugs are resolved.

    I foolishly downloaded OS8 on my iPhone 4S. It not only greyed out my wifi button making it impossiblr to use wifi, but bluetooth connection doesn't work either. I reset the phone to factory settings but that did nothing apart from loose all my photos and contacts. OS 8 was still on after too. Apple say it is a problem but the download only brought the fact the hardware was faulty to the fore, but not being under warranty , the repair would cost £166 that I would have to pay. Totally unacceptable. If the problem was known and they knew it would cause problems on older models, why have it bob up on iTUNES for download.
    Don;t download it guys, APPLE aren't admitting culpability and it will cost you a fortune to put right!!

    Yes, otherwise you will have to pay for those apps again. If an app is purchased by one Apple ID, he/she will be able to redownload it again for no cost (note: this does apply to songs, but NOT to movies).

  • Possible upgrade solution for people who have HD and problems in general.

    OK, for me, Leopard has been as painful as going osx from OS9, at least the upgrade has been , dunno about the retail copy., bugs, bugs, bugs with the upgrade for sure.
    Here is what happens generally., you upgrade and basically you need to run disk tools from a external drive or the Leopard DVD., the problems move on still.
    Solution i found was to back up to another drive, that is right guys, spend another hundred bucks no one warned you about., get a external HD or if your living it high and collect macs as Apple assumes you may just have a second Intel mac laying around with a Sata drive in it to start up in "Firewire Target Mode", (hold the "T" at start up)and start cloning your drive with SuperDuper (also need to purchase)..
    Ok
    1- once you clone your drive (usualy a hour for the base system alone).
    2- erase it as one partition,
    3- in the options make sure it is set as GUID partition (takes about a hour) and
    4- then as well zero out all the data., takes about 2 hours there as well.
    5- Now run disk utilities from the Leopard DVD or the computer or booted up drive you used to do all this., if you can not fix permission of th volume you seen to reformat the Drive again 7 pass!, could take 4 hours.
    Finally you will be able re clone it, and run disk tools after a days work no one warned you about.
    *This disk utilities operation may take about 1 hour but say 11, and look like this below;*

    *Good luck*
    *My ADVISE:* if you experienced these problems, as above, reformatting by zeroing out the data works. as for those who want Leopard. *DO NOT UPGRADE but install a RETAIL version of LEOPARD* until apple has a update,
    I read posts where people who have the retail copy (full DVD) have not experienced these problems, mine was a upgrade from Tiger since i got a mac in the last 30 days.
    WARNING: it has been hard to trust Apple fanatics with these things now days, many posts are denials to things not working so i could be wrong there as well, been honest saves time is all i can advise them.
    If anyone has beter advise please do post it.

    For those who have problems RE: My iPhone 4 connecting to my pc shows my friends name in the DIGITAL camera Drive..It dsiplays my correct name when I`m on iTunes..PLEASE HELP ME HOW DO I CHANGE THE NAME IN THE DIGITAL CAMERA DRIVE??
    SOLUTION:
    Iam pointing t0 windows7 os.
    1) go to control panel
    2) open hardware and sound
    3) In that open Devices and printers
    4)In that u can find Apple Iphone.
    5) now right click on this --> Hardware --> Properties --> General --> Uninstall --> ok.
    6) now unplug and plug in ur iphone again.There u go u iphone name changes to its original name.

    I am having this problem.  At first with the new iPhone 5, and then with the iPad 2.  I am not sure why this is happening. 
    My gut feeling is this is an iO6 issue and here's why -
    The problem mainly occurs with apps.  I have about 150 apps, and when I plugged in the phone, iTunes went to sync all of them.  The process would hang up after about 20 - 30 apps were loaded onto the phone. I could tell where about the process hung up because the apps on the phone showed up as "waiting".
    Then on the iPad 2 I plugged in to sync and saw there was a huge "Other" component in my storage.  It required me to restore the iPad 2 from backup.  With this restore the same issues occurred - putting the apps back on the iPad would hang up.  The videos on the iPad also got stuck - maybe after about 10 hours of videos transfered iTunes crashed.
    My solution has been to soft reset the device, restart Windows, and continue the process until it's complete.  This is remarkably inefficient and time-intensive but everything works with patience.
    I have been wondering if others have had these same problems. 

  • IPod Info for those who need it

    Just thought I'd give some help to those who need it.
    - For those who are having trouble with their ipods accepting some videos and not others, try shortening the names of the video files. As long as the video files are in the proper format, this should clear up that issue.
    - For those who want to get the songs off of your ipod without having to worry about the iTunes one-way syncing issue the following programs will help you with that:
    PodPlus
    iPod Agent

    I've got the 5th gen iPod and after a little finessing, I think I've got it all pretty much figured out. So, if anyone has questions, gimme a shout. Or maybe you've got some cool ideas I can use!
    5th Gen Windows XP Pro
      Windows XP Pro  

    What is an ideal average setting for my homemade iMovies?
    Settings for your iMovie for what? If your are talking about conversion to an iPod compatible format, which format? Are you more concerned with quality or quantity?
    First, what's the best, fastest and easiest way to convert these iMovies to the H.264 (is that done through iMovie or QT Pro or both) and what other settings (audio for one) should I be using besides the standard 30 fps ?
    Your are using the same QT tools whether you convert directly from iMovie or indirectly via QT Pro using a reference file. (I.e., the only time you save is the time it takes to write the reference file itself.)
    Define what you mean by best.
    The "Movie to iPod (320x240)" option is the fastest in terms of programming your conversion but the slowest in terms of time it take for processing. The "Movie to MPEG4" option is slower/harder to program for a single pass H.264 encode, but takes half the time to process as the dedicated H.264 option. MPEG4 video options (single pass and 2-pass modes) are faster than H.264 codec. Audio options are the same for both H.264 and MPEG4 formats -- AAC LC. I personally would stick with the 44.1 kbps sampling rate and 128 kbps data rate for audio but you could take it up to 48 kbps at 160 kbps if you want. As to frame rate, I would stick with the current (original) setting of your source. 30 (29.97) fps provides the smoothest flow of motion. You could, of course, try 24 or even 15 fps in some cases to see if it is acceptable. Dropping below 12 fps would probably be unacceptable to most people. But you're the producer and director here, so you have to make up your own mind.

Maybe you are looking for
