Is my comp. screwed up? Use to work, now drops frames on capture.

is my comp. screwed up? Use to work, now drops frames on capture.
OK.
My G5
mac osx 10.4.9
processor 1.8 GHZ
Memory 1.75 GD DDR SDRAM
started to be unable to digitize footage.
It says there are dropped frame or problems with the source tape. The same tape, using the same deck, same firewire (400-800port) work FINE on my husbands G5
So I think it has to be my computer. I was working on FCP 4, and thought maybe when I installed FCP 6 it would magically get better.
So I got fcp 6 and I still have the same problem....
any help would be much appreciated.

99 times out of 100 it's that your scratch disk can't keep up with the captures... what are you capturing to? Should be a disk other than your internal startup disk. Is this DV material?

I am trying to import pictures to IPAD 2 via Ipad Connector. Use to work now it does not. Any clues?

I am trying to import pictures to IPAD 2 via Ipad2 Camera Connector (Flash). Use to work now it does not. Any clues? I am a neophyte to Apple products...

If you are using a flash card, as opposed to an SD card, then I assume that you are using a third-party card reader with the kit ? If so what error, if any, are you getting e.g. a 'requires too much power' error ?
Also how are the photos getting onto the card ? If you are adding them yoursefly then you need to create a DCIM directory off the root of the card, with the photos underneath it, and the photo filenames need to be exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension i.e. in a similar format as if a camera had created/written them

TS2972 I cant get my home sharing to work on my mac book, apple tv or iphone. Just wondering if someone could help. It used to work now it does not. Thanks

I cant get my home sharing to work on my mac book, apple tv or iphone. Just wondering if someone could help. It used to work now it does not. Thanks

The helpfulness of answers is limited by the details provided. Just saying it does not work, or I got an error does not provide much to go on. How is it not working? What happens or does not happen? Is an error returned? If so what error. Are you sure you are logging in with your home sharing ID? It is not the same as your Apple ID or iCloud ID.

Why is the check box for remember passwords grayed out? It used to work now it won't save them.

Why is the check box for remember passwords grayed out? It used to work now it won't save them.

It could be because you have Firefox set to not remember any history. Did you do that intentionally? It is set in the Options dialog:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Privacy
Perhaps it would work if you choose "Use custom settings for history" and just turn off the specific things you want to turn off.
Any luck?

Use to work, now it's not, and I'm extremely frustrated???

Both autofill and drag-and-drop use to work. Now they don't. I've downloaded upgrades, charged and restored iPod, toggled switches, made sure it's connected properly, etc. etc. and NOTHING. There is no music currently on my iPod. Why?

At this point it's clear that it's been damaged and will need to be take or sent to Apple for replacement.
Regards.

Address Book sync to V400 used to work, now no?????

iSync 1.5, Panther 10.3.9 Address Book contacts to Moto V400 used to work with only occasional reset devices necessary and with iCal as well (the iCal data does sync.) Now I have no contacts on the phone and yet the full set are still in Address Book. iSync doesn't mark the non-sync with any error messages. I have limited the sync to 1 computer and just the Address Book contacts to phone with all perameters of reset device or not tried. Any ideas on how to correct this? It used to work just fine.
1.5 GHz G4 PowerBook 1GB SDRAM Mac OS X (10.3.9) iSync 1.5, Motorola V400 phone

I just got off the Phone with Apple Support and they were able to help me fix the problem. Try this:
1) Export all of your address book contacts via vCard
2) Delete all contacts and groups from Address Book
3) Restart your Mac, Address Book
4) Import the vCard contacts back into the Address Book
5) Restart iTunes
6) Sync.
That should do it. Hope this works for you.

Error #3: "memory.cpp", line 639; VI used to work, now it stopped

Hello,
I am running LabVIEW 6.0.2. I have a rather complicated VI that used to work just fine. I have run it a bunch of times without any problems. I have not changed anything at all, and now it gives me Error #3: "memory.cpp", line 639 every time I run it. Does anybody know what could have happened?
Thanks,
Corey

Corey,
Not without seeing the code.
Perhaps there is some memory leakage going on, or open references that cannot be resolved.
Also, check your memory to make sure it is still working (view your RAM amount).
Other possibilities include possible conflicts with software running in the background, or software you recently installed.
Check your task bar, and make sure your virus protection and anything else unecessary is off. These can eat memory and processor time.
Other than that, navigate to the site where the bug tells you to (don't remember off the top of my head) and report it to NI.
Good luck

Switching between playlist used to work - now doesn't

Hi guys,
Was wondering if this has something to do with the controller of the ipod shuffle.
My ipod shuffle used to work just fine in terms of shuffling, forward, ordered, etc.
Now I can't seem to switch between playlist. I can hear all of the playlist names though. but just can't play them. i can go forward between the playlist as well...just not choose it. there is no beep sound when i pressed the centre button.
Tried restore.. not working.
You think it's the remote maybe? Maybe i switched around the playlist too much or something. Broke the centre button

I don't know if this is the exact same problem or not -- but I noticed after upgrading my shuffle to 1.1 that after holding the button to invoke the listing of playlists, some of my play lists were no longer being listed. I made sure they were on the shuffle, and I even restored my shuffle completely, etc, to try and get it to work. It refused to list them so I could not navigate to those playlists.
Then I realized something -- the shuffle was always in "shuffle" mode when I did this -- on a lark, I switched it to non-shuffle mode (first switch position), and listed playlists again, and there they were.
In fact, the playlists that were not being listed consisted solely of tracks with the "Skip when Shuffling" flag set (they were podcasts and audio books.
The 1.1 update silently (to my knowledge) made this change, which while perhaps logical is a little frustrating. To be honest however, the pre 1.1 behavior was almost as frustrating -- it would list the all playlists in either mode, but if you were in shuffle mode, and you chose a play list with tracks marked as Skip when Shuffling, the player would just jump randomly into the "All Songs" playlist.
Hope this helps and is relevant to this thread.
Cheers,
Ron

Capturing Hi8 analog thru aja using DV setting keeps dropping frames

I am capturing from a RCA hi 8 camera using Capture preset DV NTSC 48 khz but I am dropping frames any ideas

In an attempt to troubleshoot the component that is causing the problem, try capturing with all the same settings as you have now, but set the capture scratch to the system drive. This is not the best option to do as normal practice, but if it works on the system drive, then it's not FCP, but either the drive, or the port that is faulty. If it captures successfully to the system drive, next step is to go out and get another hard drive and connect it. If it fails, most likely you have a bad Firewire card. If it works, it most likely is the RAID, and you can troubleshoot that with other means.

'Connection Error' Sample RTMP video used to work, now no longer works?!

Hello All,
I had FMS 3.5 developer package installed on my server installed about a month ago. I used to be able to go to the /webroot/ page to see the sample RTMP video play and it worked great. Today, I go to view that page and find that it no longer plays. I get "Connection Error. Please preee Play to try again."
Pressing the play button does nothing, so I click the RTMP thumbnail and it reloads ony to give me that same error again.
I can click the HTTP thumbnail and see the video play just fine. But, I want RTMP and after over an hour on the phone with my managed hosting tech, we can't find anything wrong.
Here's the thing: I haven't done anything, I have not changed anything, I have not manipulated the server software whatsoever. It just stopped working and gives me "Connection Error."
I checked that port 1935 was open, and it is.
UPDATED:
When I click on the RTMP thumbnail, after the 'Connection Error' message comes up in the player, the following things happen in my server's error log:
"File does not exist: /folder/folder/folder/fcs"
"File does not exist: /folder/folder/folder/open"
The corresponding IP is my own.
The /folder/folder/folder/ corresponds to my public_http folder and related file structure for the website, NOT the RTMP server. I have no idea why the F
MS is looking in my public_http for fcs and open, but it is.
Thoughts?
Please help? Many thanks in advance!
Sincerely,
wordman

SE,
I'm logged on using PuTTY, my server is Linux and I did in fact get to view the log files.
I realize the sample page ought to be discarded as a concern, but I was hoping I might learn something from this.
I don't have the knowledge to try another RTMP player/client, I am brand new to this. I have Flash CS4 Professional, but I need to learn what to do to build a .SWF to play a sample file.
As for player development, I have been doing research on which might be best for me. In the short term I just need a basic player. In the long term, a player with insertable banners (for in-house promotion and identifiaction, not for ads) and a chat function. The banners may not be necessary as I want the player to be located in a stand-alone page as opposed to a pop-up, so I can do banners in the page itself.
I have looked into REOPS and Strobe, but the tech is written in engineer-speak so most of it is zooming right over my head. I'm self-taught with PHP so I know this all can't be THAT difficult. The jumping-off point is hard to find though. I need something in human-speak that's a wee easier to understand. A basic player would be lovely right now. I don't even care about skinning, just colors.
Using the command to check if FMS is running leaves me with 4 lines of info: 5-digit number, ? 00:00:00 fmsmaster (fmsedge, fmscore, fmsadmin)
Does that mean it isn't running? If so, what can I do to restart it and worse, why would it have stopped?
Thanks for your help!
Sincerely,
wordman

IChat used to work, now does not.. same chat partner even....

Ok, this is REALLY weird.
Some details-
Me Leopard 10.5.2
Firewall= iChat enabled
Quicktime= None (streaming band width)
Internet sharing OFF
Links sys wireless router WRT54GSV4
Enabled Both UDP/TCP on 5190, 5678, 16384-16403
Enabled UDP only on 5060
nothing set up for 5220, 5222 (jabber- dont use it)
nothing set up for 5297-5298 (internal communication, not needed to outside world for iChat)
Router running in gateway mode with udpnp enabled.
Router serving as DHCP server computer is always getting internal address of 192.168.1.101
Cable modem plugs into router and thats it for the network.
NO I DO NOT have 101 devices... we just started at 100 for IP assigning (we have 2 computers, 1 PC 1 MAC)
Now, sad story please read on and offer your help.
I WAS (past tense) able to chat with another family member in VT who is also running leopard and who is using a NetGear wireless router (known good for iChat) .
Here is the story, sorry it is long but I hope someone will spot what I missed if I give enough details.
Prior to december 21st I was using my setup (leopard see above) and was chatting (always VIDEO) with parents in MN as well as other relatives in VT (we live in UT). Both of these people were running tiger, both using netgear wireless routers (different ISP obviously). Had an issue chatting to the individual in VT at first, but changed their iChat preferences under accounts to use port 1080 for the aim oscar login (from 5190) and it worked every time from then out... good nuff...
So, I go to MN for Xmas and find out we cannot chat from their computer to the one in VT, both were tiger... turns out I was upgrading the MN computer to leopard for Xmas... so I upgrade and its still not working. I went into the net gear router and endabled TCP and UDP on ALL the ports I listed for my set up (ALL Of them, even the Jabber and "Internal" ports). I set up the leopard firewall to enable iChat and set the quick time etc etc... and whalla it worked to chat to VT, but only if we the same computer initiated the chat, i.e. had to be from MN (leopard)===> VT (tiger) (I THINK... **** wish I remembered this).
ANyhow, we did not care, it was a temporary thing (my wife wanted to chat with her sister) so those computers did not really need to chat much and it was good enough for us ....
Now... we fly back to our house (NO ONE WAS THERE i.e nothing changed on the computer) and now we cannot chat to VT (runing tiger) but we could 8 days ago. So, I looked into the error messages... it initiates, starts and then ends the chats with an error -7 message and later yeilds an error -8. I know the -7 can be a time out so I check our true speed and found at least 1Mbps both here and in VT. I figured maybe a security update changed something either in leopard or tiger, so I carefully configured my firewall, quicktime, and router (as well, no one is internet sharing) and everything else I could think of (even switched off DHCP for a while) to NO avail. After all this I confirmed (1 minute ago) that I CAN chat back to MN which is now upgraded to leopard with the NetGear wireless router and all the ports open etc etc...
The computer in VT has the usual set up with the 10.4 firewall ports enabled according to the Apple SOP (read the document in apple support if you need to know what this looks like). It also is not internet sharing, its quicktime is enabled and the et gear router appears appropriately configured with TCP and UDP enabled on ALL the ports I listed under my set up (ALL OF THEM just in case)
I have tried enabling ALL of the ports (i.e. the jaber and internal ports.. but this is pretty stupid on my end since I am using LEOPARD and it only requires a single port to chat (starts at 16384 and goes up to 16403 until it finds one open), but I was not sure what happens with a leopard - tiger iChat so I tried it, still broken.
One potential clue (or a red herring?). My sister-in-law HAS to use port 1080 for the AIM login, if she tries 5190 she gets kicked of AIM immediately (YES her firewall is configured to let that out as well as the portforward (TCP and UDP) is configured on the netgear wireless router. This seems strange to me and I almost want to call her and double triple check that she has all this correct.. but IT WORKED 8 days ago (we used it literally 3-4 + days a week, it working was NOT a fluke).
Anyhow, sorry for the book. Any and all help appreciated I have tried to do my homework but am now stumped and hope I did not miss anything super obvious.
me
SO. . . .
What changed?
What is left to "fix" and most important
Who broke this so I can hunt them down (just kidding)... but seriously, what gives. Am I missing something OBVIOUS... like apple said we broke tiger too leopard chats and you have to buy leopard or something else reminiscent of the iPhone story (sorry, inappropriate jab, I just beat myself).

Ok- obviously I was tired and did not communicate.
Here is the simplified problem.
We live in UT, my parents live in MN, my wifes sister and parents live in VT.
3 computers
UT= 10.5.1 iMac silver case new computer purchased with 10.5.0 and IMMEDIATELY upgraded to 10.5.1 prior to running a single app. LinkSys wireless running in gateway mode.
VT= Leopard iMac core duo white (last years) with NetGear wireless adapter
MN= Leopard iMac core duo white (last years) with NetGear wireless adapter
This is how it was prior to Christmas
WE left UT and flew to MN where one of the iMacs lives. We were able to (FINALLY) chat with the VT iMAC (still running leopard) after UPRGADING the MN iMAC to Leopard version 10.5.1 and making some changes to the router and Mac Firewall as well as quicktime streaming settings. Then the chat would work from MN-VT.
We FLEW home to UT, where our leopard iMac had been sitting gathering dust for 8 days. It no longer can chat with VT, but it can chat perfectly well with the MN computer, which of course is now running leopard 10.5.1
So- I can assure you nothing changed on my computer while I was sitting in MN eating Xmas dinner and the computer sat in an empty house in Utah. Nothing, I am told, changed on the computer in VT.. and I can still chat to MN
I tried to mark my replies with an asterics, strangely they are in the message when I try to edit it but I do not see them all in the post... so if you see them great... if not you will have to read to find my replies... sorry.
OK Solution(s)
Get all the routers set to do UPnP
*all ready there
On the Linksys this is in Adminstration.
Disable then Delete all the Port Forwarding you have set and Save Settings.
* this seems strange most iChat communication help messages start with the individual being told to put this in place. Tell me why this should be done, I am curious what you think is the issue here.
In the Netgears it (UPnP) should be in it's Own menu.
Delete (As there is no Disable) the Port Forwarding settings.
Save settings
* Again, I will try this since it obviously did not solve the problem but again, I am curious what you think the core issue is here.
In the Linksys go to the Security page and Disable the Anonymous Ping Blocking
Save Settings.
*No anonymous ping blocking setting there... but I disabled the filter anonymous requests line.
In the Netgear go the WAN pages and Disable the Dos (or SPI) line. It is a Check to Do this.
Also check the Box to Respond to Pings on the WAN port
Save Settings
Yes it is a good idea on the Tiger computers to have the Firewall On and the ports set.
TCP 5190, 5220, 5222, 5223, 5298
UDP 5060, 5190, 5297, 5298, 5353, 5678 16384-16403
(this will include the ports from Leopard machines)
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93208
*Yes, I concur with your statement, this is why I told everyone this is what I have set up, its in the apple recommendations for iChat.
It is better that the Leopard Firewall is On and set to Allow Specific apps ans services.
If set before the 10.5.1 Update then delete the apps in the list.
Set to Allow All.
The set to Allow Specifics and re-add apps
This is because of a problem with the 10.5 firewall and settings being held over.
*not an issue, computer purchased with 10.5.0 and immediately upgraded but I all ready tried this anyhow, and its not the fix.
The port iChat uses to Login for the AIM server can be changed when not logged into AIM.
WE suggest port 443 as it is also used for Secure mail. In Tiger it means the port is likely to be open in the firewall for another app and not need setting.
*Great, that makes sense, thanks for your informative response.. I like to know why I am doing things, it makes me that much better fixing my own issues. Seriously
In Leopard the firewall works by Application and it will open any port the app uses. (it gets a"certificate" from the firewall).
* I sorta figured it worked this way or in some similar fashion when I configured it to allow iChat, this again makes sense but it is all ready in place.
In fact it is possible to log in to the AIM server on virtually any port.
*OK, for another time but is this relevant... why is it that the VT computer can log into AIM using 1080 but NOT 5190.. odd.. anyhow no need to reply if this is not relevant to me being unable to chat to VT but if you consider it worth pursuing let me know.
Some find for Tiger/iChat 3 that separating the UDP and TCP bits of port 5190 helps
*I will check this on her MAC firewall settings over the phone.
I think I have got most of this.
*My bad, it was a rather confusing post.. I hope I clarified
Thanks for you help so far.
Basically simplify things in the routers first.
Then recheck your Leopard settings as
1) you have miss-named them
2) possibly referred to other places
3) have not mentioned half of them.
Which other half would you be interested in?
I am making the changes and will reconfirm everything above and post my chat status... working with computers now.

My router wrt54gs used to work now it dosent (help)

Hello, I have a linksys model WRT54GS when i first bought it it worked just fine well my daughter moved out so i had no need for a wireless
connection i took it off ,ok well she came back lol and i tried to reconnect it and it no longer works the lap top says it has a great connection
just no internet ? i thought it might be the router, so i exchanged it for a new one same thing i cannot figure out why it worked once but not now ?
can you please help me so i can get my computer back thank you for your time jimmy
Kudos! Thanks!

I have the WRT54G that I'm using with Comcast's Internet Service. Had a similar problem where I was getting an excellent wireless signal from the router to my wireless card, but the router was not connecting and receiving a signal from Comcast's modem. Open Control Panel, then select Network & Internet, finally select Network and Sharing. Do you have a Red X between your Network's Name and the Internet Icon? If so, your router is no longer communicating with the modem. To fix, unplug the router, then find the reset on the back of the modem (mine has a small hole and I insert a paperclip), hold down the reset for about 35-45 seconds. Once the modem completes the reset and all lights are again lit, reconnect the router, you should now have an internet connection displayed between your Network's Name and the Internet Icon. Recheck the Network and Sharing area of the Control Panel to ensure.
Comcast usually won't assist with this proplem, but I found it occurred when I disconnected my mode when not in use, once reconnected it only worked for a short period of time and then no connection period. I solved the handshaking issue by leaving my router continuously pluged in.

Flash used to work, now doesn't

I had a few lovely pieces of flash embedded in a web page I
work with. The website is
http://www.usafacademyband.af.mil/.
My disclaimer is that I'm more of a content manager - that is, the
layout, style sheets, etc. are all done by someone else and I just
input the content where it belongs. For some reason, that lovely
intro image of the band fading in with text sliding across the top
just doesn't work anymore. It worked up until yesterday, and
without my changing anything, doesn't work today. You can view the
full code, which is very convoluted, but here is the snippet of
code I used to embed the flash:
<embed width="570" height="225" quality="1" wmode="Window"
menu="false" loop="false" play="true" scale="exactfit"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
src="https://afpims.afnews.af.mil/shared/media/document/AFD-070729-001.swf"></embed>
Is it maybe that the embed tag is being phased out? I heard a
rumor that that's the case.
Thanks,
Ryan Janus

My Microsoft Intellimouse back and forward buttons don't work in Firefox, but they do in IE and in Windows Explorer. It used to work, now it just stopped. Why and how can I fix this?

Forward and back buttons don't work in Firefox but do everywhere else.

Make sure that you set those buttons to the default action in your mouse driver software (Control Panel > Mouse or specific Intellimouse driver software).

Import mts - used to work now 'not supported'?

I have importet mts files before - now suddenly I can't. Win can now see them - but premiere won't. it's a CS4, the files are copired directly from the card on the camera to the computer (win 7 64) - and I have done this before - long time now but often and these old files are still there but if I open and old project the list of the mts files are there - but no content. If I look in old files for videos I know are there - nothing's shown in premiere. what ever happened????

I couldn't - it said it was in use. made a new folder and moved the files - makes no difference.

Is my comp. screwed up? Use to work, now drops frames on capture.
