¿is it too hard to get an ati working?

Hi, I'm thinking of upgrade my video card, however, although I'm a nvidia fan, atis beat the crap out of nvidias in the price range I can afford, so I were wondering how hard would it be to get the drivers to play nicely (I have some expectatives on trying xgl with a more powerful card (mine, actually kind of sucks)) with linux and how slower do they run in comparision to as if it were working in windows (if anyone knows) runing, I don't know... quake3 or some game that runs on both oses (I know ati dirvers in linux are slower, but how much?)

Performance depends on the series of card your planning on purchasing.
While the open source drivers only work with older cards, I believe they have (or had since fglrx no longer works with r200 series cards) better performance than the ati drivers.
That being said, since it seems you're purchasing a newer ati card, performance versus nvidia is only decent as far as I've seen. Nvidia drivers in linux allow the card to perform similarly to how they perform in windows. Ati's drivers allow ati drivers to perform mabye two thirds of what they are capable of.
My ati x700 (pretty new) gets 3800 in glxgears and my 3 year old gforce 4 ti4200 gets 3200 in glxgears... not that glxgears is any sort of benchmark but it does give an indication of how the card will perform overall.
Despite less than stellar performance, my ati x700, and numerous others that I own (9600xt, 9500, etc) all work fine with linux and the fglrx drivers and all also work well with XGL.
I have not run quake 3 on both of my computers, so I could not give you a side by side comparison offhand. That being said, any new ati or nvidia card should be able to handle any game that you can throw at it in linux be it in wine or native.
If your price point is where the ati card is, I say go for it!

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Connect the external drive and open a Finder window pressing the Finder icon in Dock. Then, drag the folder to Finder, so it will be copied to this external disk.
If you can't copy this folder, probably you have to format the external disk or use an app that allows you to write in that external drive. Mac OS X can't write in NTFS external disks

Hard Time Getting JRE to work

Got to give a lot more info than that. How are you trying to run it? I hope with an application.

Is it just me or is it too hard to get a Skype rea...

I have been looking for a couple weeks now and it is pretty ridiculous. Most of the phones that you would find at Amazon or Best Buy, you know big box retailers that anyone can make it to, don't offer working Skype phones. Apparently Skype has changed settings, rendering many older Skype phones useless.
I am looking for an inexpensive phone to use around my house. The entire reason I use skype is to cut costs, so it is silly to recommend a $130 RTX phone. That defeats the entire purpose of the service.
People don't want to be tethered to their computer, I don't want to walk around with a headset or make phone calls to family with my crappy video camera mic.
If someone out there can put me onto a working, under $100 Skype handset, I would be greatly appreciated. If Skype could be a little more accessible in terms of how they interface, I would be VERY appreciative.
Frankly, it shouldn't be this hard

Before trying to isolate an issue, it's always best that one is running the latest Skype release. Which may in itself resolve the issue.
A new version has just been released September 13th, 2011:
Please download/install this version from here, when prompted click the open or run button: http://download.skype.com/SkypeSetup.exe
This new version is 5.5.0.117 to check what version you have, using the main Skype client window please do:
Help -> About Skype
Could you please explain, what you mean by not being able to get your phone messages, in more detail, such as meaning voicemail or not being able to answer calls.
Also.....
This is NOT a fix or solution.
Please right click on the Skype Icon in your system tray and change your status to "Offline" for 5 seconds and then back to "Online".
This forces a status update of all your contacts in your conact list as well as a update of your status without the need to logoff/logon.

Hi
I have been working on this for several hours now and not having much luck. I think im not understanding the relationship between the two classes properly. Also there is a GUI that goes with it but it only so fay has the code to construct the GUI. My problem is getting these two classes to compile, then mabe i can move on to finishing the GUI. If you need the GUI then i can post it.
If you could, please take a look at these two classes that im having trouble with, where am i going wrong.......
import java.util.*;
     public class ShoppingCart     {
private Product[] shoppingcart;
private static int count;
public void shoppingCart()     {
shoppingcart = new Product[50];
     count = 0;
public void addProduct(String name, double price, int quantity) {
boolean found = false;
int i = 0;
while(i < count)
if(shoppingcart.getName().equals(name)) //tests for existing entry.
found = true;
break; // break form loop if true.
i++;
     // adds retrieves corresponding number for entry.
if(found == true)
shoppingcart[i].setPrice(price);
// adds new entry.
else {
if(count < shoppingcart.length)     {
shoppingcart[count++] = new Product(name, price, quantity);
else {
Product[] temp = new Product[shoppingcart.length*2];
for (int j = 0; j < shoppingcart.length; i++)
temp[j] = shoppingcart[j];
temp[count++] = new Product(name, price, quantity);
shoppingcart = temp;
          public String findProduct(String name)     {
for (int i = 0; i < count ; i++)
if(shoppingcart[i].getName().equals(name))
return shoppingcart[i];
return "Not found.";
I think i will post the other class below.....

This is the second class.
Explanation. With a working GUI this program will add and retrieve different products, two events are required, add/modify and search. new products are added to an array with three parameters name, price and quantity. These product need to be able to be called up and stored into a text area displaying name, price and quantity.
Any help is appreciated.
public class Product {
private String name;
private double price;
private int quantity;
public Product(String name, double price, int quantity)     {
          this.name = name;
               //price = 0.00;
               quantity = 0;
               //this.name = name;
this.price = price;
public String getName()     {
return name;
public double getPrice()     {
return price;
public int getQuantity()     {
return quantity;
          public void setName(String name)     {
          name = name;
          public void setPrice(double price)     {

HT4623 I have a message on my ipad 2 which is stuck on the face of it stating regarding icloud backup. I missed the IOS update on my palm pre and I trying hard to get everything to work again. any suggestions?

my ipad 2 is stuck with an icloud back up message stating that it hasn't been backed up lately. Nothing I do will make it close or go away. Hotmail is y email account on my phone and icloud runs somehow through hotmail and since I missed the easy EOS update before the 26th of July I'm in trouble. Any suggestions?

A reset should help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off button at the same time for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo reappears, release both buttons and await restart.

You'd be better off creating a separate thread for each of your issues (and using more descriptive titles).
Regarding mpd.conf, the relevant section should look something like this:
bind_to_address "127.0.0.1"
There's no need to change the IP.
In general, if you need help with networking, etc., try to post your configs first (e.g. /etc/rc.conf) otherwise we won't know what you've already tried to do.

After 04 months of purchase of iphone 5 the lock button is too hard. At times its not working at all. The phone has been purchased in USA now I'm not getting service in India. After all whats the point in spending so much amount without any service.

After 04 months of purchase of iphone 5 the lock button is too hard. At times its not working at all. The phone has been purchased in USA now I'm not getting service in India. After all whats the point in spending so much amount without any service.

The warranty says that Apple may restrict service of an iPhone to the country of sale, and any reliable salesperson will tell you that if you tell them that you plan to use the iPhone in another country. Such service restrictions are common with cellphones and are by no means limited to Apple's phones.
Sorry, but if your iPhone requires service, you will need to send it to someone you know in the US who can get it serviced and then send it back to you.

IMac hard drive getting too full

Hi,
I have a beautiful 2008 27" iMac, which has served me well for years. I still love it and would like to keep using it. It came with a 500 GB hard drive. I have recently purchased and connected a 2 TB "My Passport" external drive. I have been doing back-ups through Time Machine.
Unfortunately, my hard drive has 400 GB of family photos and movie clips, thanks to our awesome iPhones.
Is there a way that I can move all of these pictures and movies to my external drive, while taking them off of my desktop iMac?
I don't want to take the chance of losing my photos. I have a friend who bought extra space on the iCloud; however, she told me once she filled that space, the older pictures and movies started dropping off in a "first in, first out" manner, losing them permanently (which hurts a lot, who wants to lose those precious children's baby pictures).
My computer has a DVD writer built in, but it doesn't seem to recognize blank writable DVD's anymore. I'm assuming it is no longer working. I tried to access it using "Disk Utility" but my computer is not recognizing the "Superdrive" (it's grey'ed out and not selectable).
I just upgraded my iMac to Yosemite, and I have a maxed out RAM of 4 GB. I'm hoping by freeing up space on my computer, I will be able to put many more pictures to come as well as potentially speed it up.
Please help. Any suggestions?

Here are some general tips to keep your Mac's hard drive trim and slim as possible
You should never, EVER let a computer hard drive get completely full, EVER!
With Macs and OS X, you shouldn't let the hard drive get below 15 GBs or less of free data space.
If it does, it's time for some hard drive housecleaning.
Follow some of my tips for cleaning out, deleting and archiving data from your Mac's internal hard drive.
Have you emptied your Mac's Trash icon in the Dock?
If you use iPhoto or Aperture, both have its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
If you store images in other locations other than iPhoto, then you will have to weed through these to determine what to archive and what to delete.
If you are an iMovie/ Final Cut user, both apps have their own individual Trash location that needs to be emptied, too!
If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive to disc, flash drives or external hard drive, older emails you want to save.
Look through your other Mailboxes and other Mail categories to see If there is other mail you can archive and/or delete.
STAY AWAY FROM DELETING ANY FILES FROM OS X SYSTEM FOLDER!
Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
Again, archive to disc, flash drives, ext. hard drives or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
Look in your Applications folder, if you have applications you haven't used in a long time, if the app doesn't have a dedicated uninstaller, then you can simply drag it into the OS X Trash icon. IF the application has an uninstaller app, then use it to completely delete the app from your Mac.
To find other large files, download an app called Omni Disk Sweeper.
http://www.omnigroup.com/more
Also, Find Any File
http://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile/
Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
http://www.titanium.free.fr/downloadonyx.php
When you install and launch it, let it do its initial automatic tests, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run the maintenance tabs that let OnyX clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
move these files/data off of your internal drive to the external hard drive and deleted off of the internal hard drive.
If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be archived or moved, also, to the optical discs, flash drives or external hard drive and then either archived to disc and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.

I was replacing my iphone 4 home button and while i was trying to take the ribbon off i pulled too hard and the part where you connect it broke so now i cant put it on, will i be able to get a replacement or not?

So I opened my whole iPhone 4 up and I was trying to replace the home button as it got worn out so when I tried taking the ribbon off, I pulled a bit too hard and then the whole thing just broke so now I cant even connect the ribbon anymore. So is there a way that I could replace it or not?

No one here works for or represents Apple, thus no one here can definitively answer your question. Out of warranty replacements require the phone, you're replacing, be in one piece. Generally, when you perform surgery yourself, you void the ability to take advantage of an out of warranty replacement.
Put everything back together, make an appointment at an Apple store & hope for the best.
Good luck.

Ati Radeon HD 6370M code 43 in device manager after installing driver - can't get GPU to work

Hello
I have bought a second hand HP laptop recently and I am having hard time installing GPU drivers and getting it to work at all.. so here is my story:
I was told that the product I bought is a HP Pavillion DV7-4142eo. I have removed the battery and checked the labels under it - and indeed the manufacturers labeled it as a DV7 4142eo laptop.
HOWEVER - and now comes the fun part - the product number in the bios (XZ288UAR#ABA) belongs to the HP Pavilion dv7-4263cl. This is also true according to hp automatic product detection app.
I used the system information tool on windows 7 and pcidatabase.com to determine the models of the graphic cards in my laptop. It turns out it has an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250 and an Ati Radeon HD 6370M gpu.
First I tried to install the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 Graphics driver, because this gpu belongs to the DV7-4142eo laptop. It didnt work, in the windows 7 device manager I got two times "standard vga graphic adapter" showing.
Next I tried tried autodetection and used amddriverdownloader. This tool recomended installing the following driver: 13-9-legacy-vista_win7_64_dd_ccc_whql.exe . After installing this driver the integrated graphic card ( ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250) works perfectly but I the other one - the more powerful one, the Ati Radeon HD 6370M - doesn't work. In the device manager it is labeled as "standard vga graphic adapter". Installing its own driver doesn't work as it results in the problem stated in the Subject.
What do you suggest me to do? Do you think code 43 means that my laptop's GPU is broken? Please help.
Thank you

Hi:
I would go with the product code...and say it is a HP Pavilion dv7-4263cl Entertainment Notebook PC.
Accordingly, this would be the only AMD graphics driver you can use.
Uninstall all previous graphics drivers and reboot before attempting to install this one.

JClient Refresh Question (Am I trying too hard?)

Environment: Windows 2000, JDeveloper (9.0.3.10.35)
I have a JClient with a bunch of JTextFields bound to my BC4J app. I perform all of my business logic calculations/validations in the entity objects. I have some entity calculated attributes and these are calculating just fine. However, I also do some more complex calculations and manually set these entity attributes (about 5 of them). These calculations are triggered whenever a user modifies a textfield...
My problem is that whenever I modify a textfield, the calculations are performed, the entity attributes updated, but they aren't shown/refreshed in the client. Hmmm... Here are some of the things I've been trying:
- Override sourceChanged() in my view implementation. Ok, I can see "attribute changed" events, but how do I update the Swing textfield?
- Got a handle to the iterator binding and forced a refresh from entity->view by calling "navigate(null)".
Calling navigate(null) worked, so I then thought I could add this logic to the sourceChanged() handler but I am not sure about the easiest way to get the iterator binding from the view implementation. Hmmm... I think I'm making this way too hard... Am I missing something totally basic here? Any suggestions would be great? Thank you.
BTW, the attributes are marked as updateable in both entity and view.

I've done some more debugging, looking into the areas you referred me to... I think I have stumbled across the "eventing mechanism bug" between EO and VO when subclassing is involved (Re: package in all_objects shows invalid but compiles fine
). I failed to mention that I was using a polymorphic rowset because I didn't think it was relevant (shouldn't have assumed...)
Here's what I've verified:
When I set an attribute in the entity with no subclassing, notifyRowUpdated() is called in the view object. However, if the entity is a subclass, notifyRowUpdated() isn't called.
Your first question may be if I have correctly setup the polymorphic rowset behavior. I think so... I've read all the articles/how to's that I've found about polymorphic rowsets in this discussion group. My "abstract" view points to my abstract entity, and then imports all of the subclasses (defined when you click the "subtypes" button in view object properties window). The discriminator is working and BC4J is instantiating the correct subclass, however, the view isn't getting notified when an entity's attribute is modified (ie, notifyRowUpdated() isn't getting called).This info along with the other link gives us enough to reproduce the bug and as mentioned in the other link, it is targeted for fix in our next release.
The workaround to the "EO/VO eventing bug" was to call executeQuery() to refresh the detail. My problem seems to be in a slightly different context, so I'm not sure exactly what to do. As I had mentioned earlier, calling navigated(null) seemed to refresh the view. Should I pursue this or do you suggest something else? naviated(null) is a fine workaround. JClient bindings simply get the current row from 'the iterator' and displays that so that's effectively a refresh on the control-bindings.
Would you like a small repro case? Thank you. Let us know if you hit any issues with this workaround.
Thanks

Can I hurt my iPhone screen by pressing it too hard during games?

I've got a new baseball game that I love playing, but sometimes I get too excited and mash the buttons. I see the screen react like it does whenever you press an LCD on a laptop or a calculator, for example. Can I damage it by pressing too hard? Obviously normally I don't press that hard, but it's like mashing buttons on a controller, except the controller is a screen.

So I dropped by my Apple store and all of their iPhones do the exact same thing. Strangely enough, the iPod touch doesn't. But the iPhones all do it, so I'm going to assume it's okay. I checked my old iPhone and it actually is worse. I'm not pressing that hard... it just shows up as a quick light or dark spot near where I press it. Weird.
