Isight quality problem with10.5.3 drivers and iMovie08/ichat, Works in XP?

Hello,
We have 125 new imacs with isight cameras built in. We intended to use several of them for our sign language program to record sign language and ichat using sign language. This was tested on a macbook with built in isight and the quality was good enough for our instructors to use. When attempting to record with the isight in iMovie8 or use ichat there is a pronounced delay of several seconds and the quality is not as good as the test done with the macbook. Using the same isight camera in a virtual Windows XP computer, on VMWare's fusion, the camera works much better without the noticeable delay or blurriness in MS Movie Maker. How come we are getting such crummy results from the native 10.5.3 drivers or iMovie08 and ichat?

Alberto,
In addition to the recommendations others offer here, you can consider any untried suggestions from
]Help for iChat AV 3 Problems and
]Mac Video Chat with PCs
that are applicable to your system.
Moreover, the fact that you can use the same Mac and ISP connection to successfully video when using iChat AV 2.1 makes me wonder about your installed iChat AV 3.0.1 or your 10.4.2. Did you update usign the 10.4.2 Combo Updater as recommended in How I Update My Mac OS X?
Your comment on NetBarrier may be significant. I will leave it to Ralph to address that and the configuration issues you are already working.

Brother HL-3170CDW won't print in color, has poor print quality. I have downloaded drivers, and firmware from Brother with no success.

Just received this printer, and am unable to have any success with it printing in color. I have downloaded drivers, and firmware from Brother that are for OSX 10.9. Also, the print quality is quite poor. Any suggestions what I should be looking for to resolve this? I feel like I am back in the 90's with Windows 3.1!

You need to go to the brother website and download the driver for your printer. I had the same problem, and resolved it just now. The driver for this particular printer is not a good match for any of the preinstalled printer drivers on os x.

If you want drivers and software that works.

Please just all look here

Macbook pro isight quality problems anyone?

Hi,
Is anyone facing problems with the quality of the isight camera on the retina macbook pro?
It feels like the image is very badly compressed and the outcome is muddy and not smooth.
My old Imac at 640x480 had a much better image? is it worth sending it back for replacement or do you think this is an OS issue which will be resolved?
Thanks in advance for any help.

If:
(1) the image of a static, constantly lighted, subject shown from your iSight is changing color as you watch it,
and
(2) you have not added any third party software to manually control your iSight (example: iGlasses)
then yours is likely a hardware problem that will require professional service by an Apple-Authorized Service Provider.
If Apple's troubleshooting suggestions from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090 don't correct your problem, (be sure to test more than one app in more than one user account,) make a current backup of all your important files and then see your AASP for service.

Insert CLOB values problem with 9.2 drivers and not with 10

Hi
We are using Oracle 9.2.0.5. We need to insert values bigger than 4000bytes using thin connection, so we've decided to use CLOB fields. With the 9.2.0.5 driver we can't do it, obtaining the classical exception explaining the data is bigger than the supported size but with the 10g driver (and, of course, same java code) it worked. The problem is that we want to mantain the equivalence between the database and driver not using the 10g driver with the 9.2.0.5 version of the db.
Here it's the test code we've used:
Data generation:
          String data = "";
          Random rnd = new Random();
          long cont = 10000;
          while (cont > 0){
               int result = rnd.nextInt(255);
               data = data + result;
               cont--;
          Integer id = new Integer(2);
Data insertion:
               String queryString="INSERT INTO TMP_BUG_ORACLE (ID, VALOR) VALUES (?,?)";
               preparedStatement = connection.prepareStatement(queryString);
               preparedStatement.setInt(1,1);
               preparedStatement.setString(2,this.datos);
               int numero = preparedStatement.executeUpdate();
               System.out.println("Items inserted: " + numero);
               preparedStatement.close();
               connection.close();
Table structure
     Name:          Type:
     ID           NUMBER
     VALOR      CLOB
Response (only with 9.2.0.5 driver):
java.sql.SQLException: El tamaño de los datos es mayor que el tamaño máximo para este tipo: 25708 (Data size is bigger than the maximum for this type: 25708)
Thank you very much for all

Hi,
I had exactly the same problem. on Oracle 9.2 I wanted to insert a template file bigger than 4K. with the ojdbc14.jar from Oracle 9.2 it was not possible.
What I did was this:
I have used a JDBCwrapper to fix this issue. I can send it to you, if you send me your email.
When I use the ojdbc14.jar from Oracle 10, I cannot insert a bigger file.
How did you code your programm to insert big size data into a CLOB field with ojdbc14.jar driver from 10?
thank you for your response

I have problem with my apple id and password isnt working cuz it is not same password but i have same apple id . i need go back to where the same id and passwor

my apple id was **** and my password was **** but i just change the password but i want my apple id and password same last time. but they wont let me to get into itunes and apps. i dont have credit card or anything. last time i use itune gift card reedem but now i dont have any itunes gift card reedem at all. i need someone help me to get my id and password back on again same as last time. cuz i could not check website or into itunes or app store at all. thanks
<Edited By Host>

You may reset the password on your account by opening https://iforgot.apple.com/ in Safari and entering your Apple ID (your email address, which the moderators should have removed earlier).
You won't be able to set the password to your email address, or a recently-used password (if I remember correctly).
Once you change your password, you should update your password on your iOS device in Settings > iTunes & App Store, then tapping the "Apple ID: <username>" cell at the top to re-enter your password. (Your iOS device may prompt you for the new password before getting to Settings as well.)
Hope that helps. If you have a different issue, please post a follow-up message.

Wireless Communication problem between HP Photosmart C309g and Linksys E2500 router

Hello,
I used C309g connected to DLink Dl-624 router (wireless connection) and everything was working correctly. Now I changed the router to Linksys E2500 (dual band router) and I've got strange problem I cannot fix.
The printer connects to router, obtaint IP address and network report does not indicates any problem. Also HP Print & Scan Doctor does not report any problem.
But when I try to print from my laptop, the pint start and is quickly broken, and I've got the message that printer is diconnected. The printer stops. When I leave it for a coupl of minutes, the printing starts and after few lines stops again with the same message on the laptop.
When I return to DLink router, everything works correctly.
I tried with 4 different laptops, with different operating systems, and i've gor the same issue. But the laptops communicates well, the network does not break..
I enforced router to use IP reserved number for the printer, used the same IP range and number for my network and printer on Linksys and DLink, does not help. I've turn off firewall on the router - does not help. I've change the channel range for 2.4 GHz network to 20MHz only - does not help.
What would be the problem with it? Is there something related to dual-band? Any idea?

Well, I did not install the printer drivers from cd, I did it from the Hp webpage. Looking for the potential problems I reinstall the drivers and it did not helped. I also turn off the firewall router application and it also did not help.
I suspect I have the printer firmware up to date e.g my version is WHM1FN0931BR.
I've made some test with router settings: switch from automatic WPS configuration to manual and tried network mode as wireless b only (default was mixed). This makes the communication between router and printer continuous (no breaks), I could normally scan documents directly to network drive, but could not print at all: the printing option on my laptop pops up, and looks like document was sent to nowhere.. printer did not start to print at all. But other network devices starts to experience connection breaks and performance issues. When I returned to mixed mode, the communication between network devices returns to normal operation, but not with the printer - where I experiences original problems.
My network is quite complex - 4 laptops and 2 TV sets communicates (wireless or LAN 100mbit cable ) via cental router with NAS server (with DLNA) and internet (DSL cable modem). Router also works as DHCP server, where any server type devises (e.g my printer) has reserved IP addresses (based on MAC number). No matter if I try to print from wireless or via LAN cable laptop, no matter what OS is on laptop. I have even tried to connect the printer via LAN (forcing DHCP to give the LAN pronter the same IP as was previously for wireless ), and stil the same: communication is broked and the print starts and suddenly stops.., then starts angain after few minutes - and stops (the same problem as wireless). So I do not understand what the hell is going on. Rest of my network works perfect .. except this printer.. Any other idea, what coul be the issue?

Flex does not auto load in Firefox and Opera but works in IE

I am using the following wrapper for deploying my Flex application. It works fine when the files are local but when the files are deployed on the server, IE works fine but I only see a blank screen in firefox and opera. However if I right click and click play the application runs fine. I don't understand what I need to do to make the Flex application autorun in Firefox and Opera as it works on IE (on server and local) and all browsers (when local).
I would be grateful for any help. I am wantonly including flashVars in both the object and embed tags to get it to be read in all browsers. The problem seems to be play="true" does not seems to be honored in Firefox and Opera when the flash in on a server but works when it is local. I have also tried accessing the flash directly without a HTML wrapper but the same problem happens only in firefox and opera but works in IE.

   </embed>
</object>

I found the cause of the problem. The server was compressing the swf file to reduce bandwidth and setting Content-Encoding: gzip. This means that Firefox and Opera receive the file but you have to right and click play to play the file or do a refresh. The solution is to change the server settings not to compress swf files. However I cannot understand why it should work in IE but not firefox or opera.

Keyboard and touchpad not working

Good day My keyboard and touchpad stopped working all of a suuden, and I need help. My computer is Toshiba Satellite E55 A-5114, this has happened to me before but only the touchpad stopped working and it fixed whenever there was a system update, now I've updated the system and installed the recent drivers and still not working, any ideas?

Satellite E45t-A4300
There appears to be an epidemic. My guess is that a Windows update which changes a driver causes it.
So turn off automatic update and inspect them one-by-one. They are offered on the second Tuesday of each month.
Windows Update: Frequently Asked Questions
I install only those marked Important or Critical. In particular, stay away from those which change a device's driver. Get driver updates only from Toshiba.

Print quality problems on Fuji Xerox printers when printing from ArchiCAD and/or Preview.

Hello,
We experience major print quality problems when printing directly from Graphisoft's ArchiCAD, Nemetscheks Vectorworks and from Apple's Preview.
Basically we see various artefacts on our printed drawings, e.g. line thicknesses change and hatched patterns / fills are reproduced with patches where the lineweights and clours change completely... which is not acceptable.
This affects the following Fuji Xerox printer models on both 10.6.x and 10.7.x with the latest FJX PPDs:
ApeosPort C5540I
Xerox LF6605 MF
The workarounds for us are to either print PDFs from Adobe Acrobat Reader or via the rather dated Accxess Tools, besides that we prefer at times to print directly from a given Software it is also not always possible to generate a PDF and print it from Acrobat Reader... especially since the latest Adobe Reader update to its print dialogue makes printing from it extremely tedious - in fact we are considering going back to 9.5.2
Obviously, we have approached FJX Tech Support and are awaiting a reply - however we are disappointed that this is happening on relatively new equipment and wonder if anybody else has already found a solution.

The symptoms you mention could be related to the FJX engine and Acrobat is masking this fault. To test, you can create a Postscript file from the print dialog of ArchiCAD or VectorWorks and then download this to the Apeos RIP. If this produces the same result as when using the printer driver from the applications, then it would indicate that the engine is not capable of handling the data being sent to it from these applications.

Canon 860 Series (Pixma) Printer Problems with OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion) – links to Canon Support Site with Drivers and Software with install tips

After spending several hours sorting out Canon Pixma OSX problems here are my thoughts:
Canon 860 Series (Pixma 868) Printer Problems with OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion) – links to Canon Support Site with Drivers and Software with install tips
Problem:
- New imac and MacBook Pro 2012 (OSX 10.8.2) had a problem using Canon Pixma 868 printer on network and would not scan or print using Canon Pixma software (Pixma MP Navigator 2.1 & Photo Print), which has advanced scanning and photo printing functions.
- When I connected the canon printer to my imac, OSX 10.8.2 automatically downloaded and installed drivers for Canon 860 series printer. I could then add the new printer (select ‘apple menu’ / ‘system preferences’ / ‘print and scan’ / “+”) and printer would work while connected via USB but could not get to print or scan over network wifi.
- The original Canon 860 Series CD does not work with 10.8 and the manual / online instructions did not make sense (as based on CD install).
Solution:
1) Install Canon Printer Drivers and Software (from official Canon site)
Go to canon support site, review FAQ, then download and install following Pixma 860 Series software & drivers for OSX 10.8 (links see below). The version I downloaded is in brackets but check for updated version. Full instructions are below.
Canon 860 Series Drivers & Software for OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion:
The base software and drivers needed for using Canon 860 Series on Mac OS X 10.8 (USB) are
1 Printer Driver
(Canon MX860 series CUPS Printer Driver Ver. 10.67.1.0 (03-Aug-2012))
2 Scanner Driver
(Canon MX860 series Scanner Driver Ver. 14.11.4a (03-Aug-2012))
3 Network Tool
(Canon IJ Network Tool Ver. 4.1.0 for Intel Mac (27-Dec-2012)
Canon Software for using advanced printing and scanning functions (while connected to network)
4 Solution Menu
(Canon Solution Menu Ver. 1.4.1 (27-Jul-2012 ))
5 MP Navigator EX
(Canon MP Nav EX Ver. 2.1.3 (02-Auf-2012))

Select Product and drivers from support site eg http://support-hk.canon-asia.com/
1. Choose a product category
Multifunctional Printers
2. Choose a product series

3. Choose a product model
Pixma MX868
4. Choose type of document
Downloads or FAQ
If you have problems installing the software under 10.8, see the FAQ on Canon site. You will need to allow software installs from “unidentified developers by using “Control” Key or by changing your system preferences)
2) Check Canon Printer and Software Working while connected via USB
Once you have downloaded and installed drivers and software and restarted computer, check that the printer and Canon Pixma software (Pixma MP Navigator 2.1 & Photo Print) are working via USB. Open the Canon IJ Network Tool App (Applications / Canon Utilities /IJ Network Tool / Canon IJ Network Tool App) and make sure you can see the Canon MX 860 series (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) and that it shows the correct SSID Wifi settings (under the Canon IJ Network Tool App ‘Setup menu’). This is normally done as part of the automatic install but worth double checking
3) Add new network printer using ‘apple menu’ / ‘system preferences’ / ‘print and scan’ / “+”).
After you have checked USB printing turn off printer, unplug the USB cable and shutdown the Canon IJ Network Tool App.
Then turn the printer back on and wait 30s. Then add a new printer using ‘apple menu’ / ‘system preferences’ / ‘print and scan’ / “+”). Once you select “+” (add new printer), wait 10-30s for the Wifi Networked Canon MX 860 Series printer to appear in the new window eg Canon MX 860 series (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) (Kind: “Canon IJ Network”)
DO NOT ADD THE MX 860 SERIES BONJOUR SCANNER (the Bonjour Scanner is the built-in software, is not needed and often appears first on the add printer list). The Canon scanner can be accessed used through the MP Nav EX Ver. 2.1.3 software (which has much better functions)
You will now have two Printer Canon MX860 (USB) and Canon MX860 (Wifi / Network). Set the Canon MX860 (Wifi / Network) as default and test print and scan
If the Wifi Networked Canon MX 860 Series printer does not appear, check the printer and make sure that the printer can see the wifi network. On the printer select Menu / Settings / Device Settings / Lan Settings / WLAN Setting List. It should say WLAN Active, identify the SSID and have an IP address
If the printer can not see the Wifi Network, plug the USB cable back in, then open the Canon IJ Network Tool App (Applications / Canon Utilities /IJ Network Tool / Canon IJ Network Tool App). Make sure you can see the Canon MX 860 series (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) and that it has your SSID settings (under setup), if it has this info, restart the computer and the printer and try again

Having problems with EMU Xboard-49 drivers and FL Studio (updated)

Hi there, i'm new here.
I'm having a problem with drivers or whatever.
<strike>Sometime ago when i installed the Midi controller, Windows installed automatically so i didn't even need to install the website ones, which it was ok to me. It was working perfect, except the Modwheel didn't work in FL Studio.</strike>
<strike>Today i decided to delete the Windows drivers and install the ones in the website to check if it could solve the problem with the Mod Wheel.</strike>
<strike>While i was installing the website drivers i noticed in google about FL Studio has a problem with Modwheels generally.</strike>
<strike>So well, i tried to install again the automatic Windows drivers, but i can't anymore for some reason, the install program asking something about a Emuumidi.sys from a CD or DVD etc.</strike>
<strike>So i installed the website ones again, but now for some reason, it says to me that it's already installed the last version and the program will close.</strike>
<strike>Emu Xboard 49 seems not working completely now, the parameters numbers which before showed in the LCD are not showed anymore. FL Studio even can't scan it now. And i can't uninstall any driver because i can't find them now.</strike>
<strike>Anyone could give me a hand please? I'm desperate.</strike>
<strike>Thanks for all, i hope you can help me with this.</strike>
<strike>By the way, i'm on Windows XP Home and the Midi controller worked perfect before, but not now.</strike>
EDITED: Now i could "overwrite" the drivers and at least it can be scanned in the Midi devices in FL Studio, but the only thing i can is playing keys, but i can't link/midilearn any knob. If i press or tweak a knob, seems to nothing happens. I tried even to reinitializate with the 4 buttons combination, but looks like the buttons doesn't works, like if they were disabled.
Also, the problem with LCD numbers still off. I can only see a P01, but when i move a knob i can't see the typical 000 to 127 cyphers which i could see yesterday.
Any clue?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
FL Studio is a 3rd party software, the controller knobs available in FL should match the controllers supported by xboards. You might want to browse on the manual page 28 on how to setup the 16 Channel Control Number.
Any FL Studio users out there might want to chime in to comment about this.
