Issue with hybrid mode

Hello,
I am using NI 9076 controller in which i have configured the module in hybrid mode(i am using three modules, two modules in scan mode and another one module in FPGA interface).
if i use the default module configuration, i am able to run in hybrid mode without any problem, but if i do some changes in the module configuration(changing single ended to differential ended and digital input/output), i am unable to read any data from the channels under scan mode.
Kindly help me out to resolve this problem.

Thank you for the quick reply. I have restarted it yes, but have no tried the restore. I just got it a couple days ago so didn't think that I would have any issues!
Thanks for the help!

We recently switched ISPs. To connect to the new ISP our Airport Extreme has to be in bridge mode. Now our Nintendo Wii won't connect to the Airport. Is it an issue with bridge mode that is causing this?

We recently switched ISPs. To connect to the new ISP our Airport Extreme has to be in bridge mode. Now our Nintendo Wii won't connect to the Airport. Is it an issue with bridge mode that is causing this? We're running two Macs wirelessly with no problems. And the Wii did connect before the switch.

Hello and thanks for the reply. I gave this a try, turned off Airport on one of the computers and tried the Wii again. Still no connection. I should say that we're also running an old G4 (wired) off the Airport as well, with no problems. I've tried many things to make the Wii to work, including power cycling the Airport, turning off the security settings in the Airport, resetting the Airport to it's default and redoing the network, resetting the network setting on the Wii (several times), moved the Airport closer to the Wii, all with no luck. The Wii "sees" the Airport but won't connect to it. I'm at a loss for anything else to try, so any help is appreciated.

USB 2.0 issue with sleep mode--help!

hey there,
so i've searched this forum's board and found that it seems quite a few people have had issues with USB 2.0 and sleep mode on the mac. most of what i read, however, comes from people not being able to put the computer to sleep once new USB 2.0 cards or devices are installed. that is not the problemm I seem to be having, but is this:
I recently purchased a Belkin USB 2.0 PCI card, and installed it on my MAC G4 tower. It seemed to work ok for a little while, but then i noticed that AFTER i put the computer to sleep, when it 'awakens' from slumber, it no longer reads the USB devices. if the device was plugged in prior to sleep mode, it sometimes reads ok. but if I try and plug in a new USB device, such as an iPod or flash drive, no dice. it doesn't mount on the Mac.
I called Belkin tech support, and they were very helpful, but told me that the macs have had issues powering the USB PCI card once the computer is in sleep mode. they even directed me to an apple support page that has downloads that seem to address this, but they're for 10.0-10.0.4. I don't want to download that onto my mac (10.3.9) cuz im worried it might screw something up on my OS.
I would LOVE a download link for a software updater for this if someone knows where it is, otherwise, I may have to return this thing to Belkin and go with a more mac-friendly brand. so im open to that possibility, too.
any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!
cheers,

I would either complain to Belkin for a fix if there is one or return the card and try a different one. You should not have the problem, but Belkin USB hubs and cards appear to have more problems like yours than other manufacturers' products.
You might try Sonnet's Tango FW400/USB 2.0 multi-card, for example, or Firewire Direct's 6-port FW800/USB 2.0 card.

Issue with Airplane Mode on legitimately unlocked iPhone

Hi,
I bought an iPhone in Australia from a distributor for one of the large carriers. I bought the white 16Gb outright and paid the fee to have the phone unlocked (as is permitted in Australia). It all worked well with both an Aus and a UK SIM card I had.
The white plastic back then cracked so I took it to an Apple store where they replaced it. I told the Genius that I'd had it unlocked and he said no problems, etc, etc.
He replaced the phone and I took it home, all seemed to work well. Again, with both SIMs.
I installed the 2.2 firmware upgrade.
Now to the troublesome bit.
Sitting in Melbourne airport, about to leave Australia for some significant time, I swapped the SIMs over and the phone started complaining about needing to be connected to iTunes.
I did this and it unlocked (again).
Question 1: Do I really have to connect to iTunes every time I change the SIM?
I replaced the SIM with my Aus one and turned the phone off to fly to Kuala Lumpur. On arrival in KL I swapped SIMs again, went through the hassle of connecting to iTunes to unlock.
Then, as I wanted to use the phone on my net flight to watch movies and play Fuzzle, I turned on Airplane Mode with the UK SIM.
The phone instantly complains about the SIM being changed and asks to be connected to iTunes. I did this (getting annoyed at this point)! This time, iTunes reports that the phone is fauly and I should take to an Apple Store
I then replaced the SIM with my Aus one, and it all started working nicely again including allowing me to use Airporne Mode.
Question 2: Why can't I use Airplane Mode when my UK SIM is installed?
This seems like a bug to me, rather than some complication with Airplane mode. Surely if my phone has been unlocked and I can make calls with both SIMs, then I can use Airplane Mode regardless of which SIM I'm using?
Added complication here is that I'm not going back to Australia for a while (maybe years), so unless Apple are nice to me and decide that the phone is faulty and will replace it in the UK, I'm going to be left with an expensive, and white, iPod Touch.
Cheers for any suggestions,
Ian

I don't think the problem lies specifically with the SIM card, but with the software on the phone.
I would appreciate others trying to replicate my problem with their iPhones. Simple steps (requireing an unlocked iPhone) are...
1. Insert original SIM card (all should be fine)
2. Remove orginal SIM card and replace with second carrier SIM
3. Sync with iTunes to get the phone working again.
4. Either turn on Airplane Mode or turn the phone off and on again.
5. The phone (at least mine) will require you to connect to iTunes again.
Turning on Airplane Mode or turning the phone off and on with the original SIM card inserted doesn't lead to this behaviour.

Issue with fortune-mod and .bashrc solved..

someone may find this useful. I was working with fortune-mod. I put the fortune-mod call into my .bashrc, so that every time I create a new shell, i get a new futurama quote. 8)
Anway, it was screwing up my scp activities, because it was generating output.
So, to avoid this, use the following in your .bashrc
if [ "$PS1" ]; then
/usr/bin/fortune futurama
fi
similarly, if you want any textual output to appear everytime you create a shell, make sure to put it between the above if and fi.
of course, make sure you put this BEFORE you set your shell to something nice like:
PS1="\[\033[01;31m\](\[\033[00;37m\]\u@\h \W\[\033[01;31m\])\[\033[00m\]\$ "
hope this helps someone. It took me a little while to figure out what was going on. [/code]

I wasn't looking for this but now that i've found it it's great!
Cheers!

Issue with blend mode colour dodge?

So I'm not all that new to photoshop, I'd probably put myself in the intermediate category, but for some reason I haven't been able to figure this issue out, and I would love some help. I was doing a tutorial, and it mentioned we needed to change the blend mode of our photo to color dodge. I found color dodge fine, but for some reason when I tried to apply it, nothing happened. The tutorial mentioned grouping the layers, which I did, still no change.
So I found another tutorial that broke the process down, but I've still been unable to apply color dodge to what I'm working on. When I did apply colour dodge, I got this:
I have no idea what to do about the red circle. I'm sure this is a totally ridiculous error, but I'd love some help!
Here's what I'm attempting to change, with no success:
Here's the picture I would ultimately like to apply colour dodge to:
Again, I'm sure this is really simple, but I haven't found an easy answer, so any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

What you expect to happen after applying Color Dodge? With Blue Fill layer on top and white pixels beneath, applying Color Dodge will produce what you see on your screen. Same will happen if you move layer with white pixels on top of layer with blue fill color. There is some mistake in tutorial.

Issues with sleep mode...

Hi,
I have a PowerMac G4 Dual 1,25Ghz MDD, when I'm not using the machine I put it to sleep from the menu and it will sleep correctly and wakes up when I press any key on the keyboard.
But if I use the Option-Command-Eject to sleep, then only the monitor goes black and nothing else, also waking up from this mode is impossible, I have to powered down/up to get everything working. (Or I have not found any other way)
Shouldn't these too be the same? I have searched the Apple documentation and could not find any info that this would initiate different sleep modes.
regards,
Sebastian

Issues Exiting Sleep Mode and Odd Behavior On Restart with GPU

I'm running a completely stock HP P7-1240 desktop except for an EVGA GeForce GTX 750 TI SC GPU. The GPU runs fine when the computer is up and running (which is odd because the forums have several other threads mentioning that the 700 series should be incompatible with my BIOS).
However, there are two main strange problems that have arisen since installing the GPU. One is that, whenever the computer enters sleep mode, it refuses to wake back up properly. It seems to me that the computer activates but does not send any signals out from the back panel (at the very least, no video signal because my monitors stay blank). On a rare occasion, it will wake back up properly, but at least 90% of the time, it needs to be restarted. Upon restart, sometimes the same issue occurs (no video output), and the computer needs to be restarted a second time before it will boot up again.
This leads to the second problem. When starting, the computer goes to a black screen listing basic computer specs (see attached photo. At this screen, the computer does not respond to any input. It proceeds to beep 3 times, all the same length and pitch spaced about 30 seconds apart. After the third beep, the screen goes black and then the computer boots up normally with no further odd behavior.
Without the GPU, none of these issues happen. At the very least, not regularly.
I have seen another thread mentioning that, although the HP support page for my desktop does not list it, there is a BIOS update for my motherboard that has fixed issues relating to more modern GPU's. By nature of it being a BIOS update that does not (appear to) officially support Windows 7, I'm hesitant to move forward with that potential solution.
Although I'm planning to build myself a new computer from scratch at some point, I was hoping to at least get another year out of this machine, if not 2. While this issue doesn't appear to be immediately threatening the stability of the computer, I can't help but think that this is an issue I should iron soon to avoid future issues (not to mention it would save me a fair amount of electricity to be able to enter sleep mode on a regular basis).
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
This question was solved.

Hello @johnmwalker,
I understand that you are having some issues with your HP Pavilion p7-1240 Desktop PC waking up from sleep mode. I am not sure how much can be done for the delay on your startup with an OEM BIOS you are limited in what you can do and since your graphic card works I think you would be better off not messing too much with the BIOS at this point. The one thing I would try is going into the BIOS using the HP Support document:BIOS Setup Utility Information and Menu Options, and under Advanced > Power-On Options set POST Messages to Disable and POST Delay (in seconds) to None.
Now the waking from sleep mode issue could just be the hybrid sleep setting causing you an issue with sleep mode. Use the following steps to disable hybrid sleep:
Step 1. Click Start
Step 2. Click Control Panel.
Step 3. Click System and Security
Step 4. Click Power Options
Step 5. Click High Performance from Power Options
Step 6. Click Change plan settings
Step 7. Select Change advanced power settings
Step 8. Click the plus (+) sign next to Sleep
Step 9. Click the plus (+) sign next to Allow hybrid sleep
Step 10. Select Off from the drop-down menu
Step 11. Click OK

Laptop-mode-tools issue with log / logger

I had an issue with laptop-mode-tools where systemd reported it failed (the laptop-mode service). Specifically I got an error with wireless-power in /usr/share/laptop-mode/modules/. Clearly one issue was that I did not install wireless_tools. But I had another issue: It complained with "log: command not found" so I looked into the file and there were several calls to "log [...]". I changed them to "logger [...]" and the error is gone.
Am I missing something here or is this really an issue? Maybe a bug? Or an error on my side?

I had the problem but edited the line in /usr/sbin/laptop_mode and it worked. But thoes lines are not there anymore. I guess they changed it at the recent update of laptop-mode-tools.
Regarding your heat problem; is there any other thing you use to cut down power usage (from AUR maybe)? I use acpi_call from AUR had to edit lines there aswell, but it should be updated by now.

Cannot Install Windows 7 with AHCI mode

Hello,
Having just submitted a support ticket to MSI, I was curious to see if anyone else has experienced a similar issue or may be able to suggest a possible resolution.
I recently purchased a MSI Z87-G41 PC Mate for an htpc build.
I've ran into an issue of not being able to install Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit onto my ANY SATA 3 hard drive with SATA mode - AHCI enabled in bios.
Main parts for the build are:
Motherboard: MSI Z87-G41 PC Mate
CPU: Intel Core i3-4130 3.4 3 FCLGA 1150
RAM: G.SKILL Ares Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600
PSU: Corsair Builder Series CX 600
OS HD: Crucial M500 SSD
During Windows install and selecting the SSD in which to install windows onto..
Windows will prompt with: “Windows cannot be installed to Disk x Partition x. (Show details)
Afterwards, I’ll select ‘Load driver’ and select the “Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver for 8x series,” provided by MSI drivers download page. Confirmed as a valid driver for the SATA AHCI controller.
"Select the driver to be installed" lists: “Intel(r) 8 Series/C220 Chipset Family SATA AHCI Controller” Looks good, then progress...
Followed by clicking on next- “Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition. See the setup log files for more information.”
I've tried installing Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit via USB drive and OEM disc to no avail.
Performed a test using the same install procedure with my primary desktop computer which uses a MSI z68A-GD65 (G3) motherboard (AHCI enabled.) I was able to install windows to my Crucial M500 SSD without issue.
Confirmed the issue occurs while testing with different hard drives. I have yet to be able to install windows with AHCI enabled on this motherboard.
HDDs tested include:
WD Black WD5002AALX 500GB
Seagate ST3100524AS 1TB
Once I change SATA mode from AHCI to IDE, I was able to install windows without the need of pre-loading the Intel 8 Series SATA/AHCI driver.
Afterwards having installed windows, I decided to test by switching SATA mode back to AHCI. Doing so will cause the machine to bsod upon booting to windows. Later, I performed the registry edit to change IDE to AHCI mode within windows. Followed by again enabling AHCI in bios.
I was able to boot while in AHCI mode temporarily a couple of times until this method stopped working. Any attempt past the bios post, windows will not boot.
I've also tested the manual and XMP profile RAM settings as suggested by the sticky'd thread here https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=178019.0
I would like to possibly resolve the issue in regards to utilizing AHCI mode for optimal performance for my hard drives and hot swap capability.
When I have more time, I suppose I can run a RAM test; but so far I simply believe it may just be a SATA controller or driver conflict with the motherboard.
tl;dr Cannot install Windows 7 onto any hard drive with AHCI enabled. Works fine with IDE mode.

** Update as of 6/3/2014 ** Issue resolved.
Received my replacement motherboard from RMA. Replacement is working without any issues with SATA mode set to AHCI.
Tested by running Windows 7 and Windows 8 install - both detected my SATA SSD and other HDDs as applicable drives to install Windows onto. Pre-loading the SATA controller drivers was not necessary. Windows boots up immediately without any delay now. Benchmarks are showing valid stats for SATA3 devices.
Also to note, the replacement motherboard came with bios version 1.5, compared the one I sent back which came with 1.6. In case if that had anything to do with it. Not going to risk updating the bios at this point.

Hi LaxUdas,
If I understand correctly, the package is developed with Protection Level set as "EncryptSensitiveWithUserKey". When you execute the package via a SQL Agent Job in a Named Instance, the account that job step using is not the user that create the
package. So it cannot be able to connect to the Oracle DB with invalid connection string.
This behavior is by design. In an Integration Services package, the following information is defined as sensitive:
The password part of a connection string.
The task-generated XML nodes that are tagged as sensitive.
Any variable that is marked as sensitive.
EncryptSensitiveWithUserKey uses a key that is based on the current user profile to encrypt only the values of sensitive properties in the package. Only the same user who uses the same profile can load the package. If a different user opens the package,
the sensitive information is replaced with blanks and the current user must provide new values for the sensitive data.
To work around this issue, please refer to the following suggestions:
Change the SSIS Package ProtectionLevel property to EncryptSensitiveWithPassword. This setting uses a password for encryption. To open the package in SSIS Designer (SSDT), the user must provide the package password.
Change the Named Instance SQL Agent Service account to the user that create the package, like your Default Instance.
Use SSIS Package configuration files to store sensitive information, and then store these configuration files in a secured folder. You can then change the ProtectionLevel property to DontSaveSensitive so that the package is not encrypted and does not try
to save secrets to the package. When you run the SSIS package, the required information is loaded from the configuration file. Make sure that the configuration files are adequately protected if they contain sensitive information.

P35 Neo2-FR issues with Pioneer DVR-212 SATA ODD on Intel ICH9R

I need some help here, guys, as I am having weirdest issues with Pioneer DVR-212 on my mobo. Everything else is working fine - 4GB Geil DDRII 800, C2D 4600, P35 Neo2-FR, stock settings. I allready updated the bios to the lates revision - 1.8 and drive's firmware to 1.24 - and it does not help.
Basically, drive just locks up and stops responding during writing or even reading a DVD when it's connected to Intel SATA. Tried ImgBurn, Nero, InfraRecorder - same issue happens in Linux, too. When connected to Marvell SATA port - drive behave better and at least this lock up issues stop.
Drive is currently connected to SATA 5 port (1 and 2 are ESATA, 3 and 4 are HDD's and they have 0 issues, 5 is burner - tested other ports and 6 is empty). Drive just stops to respond. In BIOS, Inte l controller is in AHCI mode, but I disabled the port on which Pioneer is - as I read that optical drives have issues with AHCI. Drive is visible in Vista (32 bit SP1) but locking issues happen all the time. Are there some known issues with my motherboard and it's SATA controler? Or issues with this particular drive? Or maybe issues with AHCI mode? I repeat, this lock up issues go away when I connect it to Marvel SATA port - although I don't have the feeling it's working properly, it appears to be working with almost zero issues. I had a lock even now, while writing this - on 32% on reading an image... The rig is prime stable 24h, and works without restarting for weeks. This is the only issue - no issues with hard drives (SEAGATE 320 Barracuda 7200.10 3320620AS and a Maxtor 160GB STM3160811AS). Any help or ideas appreciated!!!

Yes - here are details...
MSI P35 NEO2-FR v1.1 bios 1.8
Intel Core2Duo [email protected] - stock
XFX Nvidia Geforce 8600gt
GEIL Ultra 4x1 GB DDR800 - stock
Seagate Barracuda 320GB ST3320620AS SATA
Maxtor DiamondMax 160GB STM3160811AS SATA
Pioneer DVR-212 SATA firmware 1.24
Chieftec PSU 410W
Cooler Master CM690 Case
Windows Vista 32bit SP1 + Ubuntu 8.04 64 bit (with 2.6.25 hand compiled kernel)
What bugs me the most is that I can't find similar issues on the net - very, very few issues solved by setting the AHCI port to which burner is connnected to non-AHCI mode and that the optical drive behaves better when connected to Marvel SATA controller, rather then Intel SATA...
Issues repeats in Linux and in Windows...
Any thoughts appreciated...

10.6.4 major issues with 64-bit mode?

I happened to check my "32-64 bit Kernel Startup Mode Selector" app today and noticed that my MBP was running in 32-bit mode and set to always boot into 32-bit mode. This was not how it was under 10.6.3. I've had my machines set to automatically boot into 64-bit mode ever since Snow Leopard arrived so this was wierd.
But then, just clicking on the 'start in 64-bit mode' option raises an error message (error code -5000).
So I manually edited the com.apple.boot.plist file to boot into 64-bit mode, rebooted, and found I was still in 32-bit mode.
But the very worst problem of all is that when I force 64-bit mode on boot (holding down the '6' and '4' keys still works) the machine then hangs after waking from its first sleep. But it runs fine in 32-bit mode.
Has anybody else discovered this? I will try to redo the update using the combo update but isnt this wierd?

Hi, I noticed the same behaviour just yesterday. My macbook pro did not boot at pure 64bit as before and I too think this started with the 10.6.4 upgrade (performed 10 days ago). That said, I cannot replicate the hang after return from sleep issue you describe.
I am not sure which method you had used, with 10.6.3, to force the system to always boot with a 64bit kernel and extensions but here is what worked for me.
I re-issued the command I used to achieve this with 10.6.2, in terminal:
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguratio/com.apple.Boot \
'Kernel Flags' 'arch=x86_64'
this did not restore the 64 bit boot but it did fix a problem with a series of error log entries I was getting about /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot
Specifically, I noticed that this file, which was xml-formated before re-issuing the above command, was re-writen in a binary format when I checked it again after re-issuing that command -- and the errors in the system log were no longer reported. A wild guess, but I wonder if Apple changed the spec for 10.6.4, disabling the stored forced-boot preference as a side-effect.
In any case, even after this, the system still started up in hybrid mode. I finally fixed it, by issuing this in terminal:
sudo nvram boot-args=”arch=x86_64″
I am not sure if this alone did it, or if it was a combination of the two, but this is the third time I've restarted and my system consistently boots with a 64bit kernel and extensions.
I hope this helps, good luck!
