It can't (shouldn't) be this difficult...
I've been using a simple home network with my G4 iGloo and a G4 iBook. The iGloo connects to an Ethernet Switch connected to an Airport Extreme which connects to the cable modem. iBook has an Airport card and is used to administer the AEBS. Everything has been great. I even managed to set up both Macs with fixed IP numbers which allows me to have aliases on each Desktop which will accept drag-n-drop file transfers. Now, even if the power fails and the AEBS loses power, it doesn't reassign IP addresses to the Macs.
OK! Everything is running fine...but I agreed to demo setting up an Airport Network for our User Group tomorrow night! No problem, this stuff is a snap! Or so I thought.
New Macs to connect to the existing network: G4 mini and a new Intel mini.
All Macs are using 10.4.10 except the iBook which is still at 10.4.8.
All Macs can connect to the Internet. All display the other Macs in the "Browse" window (and also in the "Network" Sidebar item in a Finder window).
From the Intel mini:
I can connect to my iGloo (wireless to the Airport, Ethernet to the iGloo). I can even connect to a FireWire drive attached to the iGloo and any of the three partitions on the iGloo. Works just like it should!
I CANNOT connect to the G4 mini (same basic route as above).
I CANNOT connect to the iBook (wireless to wireless).
In the last two cases I get the standard, "Unknown user, incorrect password, or login is disabled" dialog.
From the G4 mini:
I CANNOT connect to any other Mac. Same standard dialog as above.
Once again, this Mac DOES connect to the Internet.
From the iGloo:
I get the same "Unknown user..." dialog for the G4 mini.
I can, as stated earlier, connect to either the admin user or the Hard Drive of the iBook.
The Intel mini presents an "FTP Authentication" dialog(?). What's THAT about?
From the iBook:
Connection to the iGloo is perfect.
It CANNOT connect to either the G4 or the Intel mini.
Both the minis have "Using:" DHCP. All the machines are withing 10 feet of each other. I found one bad Ethernet cable.
How many permutations will it take to discover the right combination of settings! Need to have this working within 16 hours, of course! "The difficult will be done immediately, the impossible will take slightly longer!"
Sincere thanks to anyone who wants to tackle this! 8-)
As an indication of my frustration level, I clicked on the "Mark as answered" link thinking it said "Mark has answered"! Doh! Stupid me! Again!

Exporting Widescreen - It shouldn't be this difficult!
Hello all,
I really hope someone can help me here, I'm a long-term user of Premiere Pro yet I recently upgraded to CS4 with the new media encoder, and simple operations now seem impossible, in this scenerio - exporting a widescreen video...in widescreen!
I have a video, about 1 minute long. Shot in widescreen. Edited in a Premiere widescreen project and for the export settings: Mov and/or Mpeg and/or WMV, and the DV PAL Widescreen Preset - which then gives me the (unchangeable) frame size of 720x 576. I choose Square Pixels for the ratio selection and export. I get a widescreen video plus letterboxing to give me a 4:3 screen. Seeing as i can't change the frame size, I changed the pixels to Widescreen, and it gives me a 4:3 video without letterboxing, thereby distorting it horribley. I have tried changing everything! Different codecs give me the correct size but a file hundreds and hundreds of MB big. Seriously, it shouldn't be this hard!!
Please someone, talk some sense!
RyanThe other formats won't let me change the frame size from 720x576.
If you're attempting to go from a DV source (judging by the screenshot you posted, you are) to a DV output (which you are if you're going to MS DV AVI or to QuickTime DV MOV), you have no other option than to encode at 720x576, period. That's what DV is (in PALLand, anyway; in NTSCVille, it's 720x480). It doesn't matter if you're coming from or going to a standard 4:3 aspect ratio or a widescreen 16:9 aspect ratio, as long as you're using a DV codec your files will alwaysalwaysalways be 720x576. The differentiation between the display aspect ratio or DAR (4:3 or 16:9), therefore, comes from the pixel aspect ratio, or PAR--in other words, what shape are the pixels? For standard DV sources, the pixels' width-to-height ratio is smaller; for widescreen DV sources, the pixels' width-to-height ratio is larger. Note that these are relative, and not absolute, as I'm speaking in generalities about DV--NTSC DV and PAL DV PARs differ. As Jim pointed out, some programs are able to properly read the PAR written into a DV (or other video) file, while some simply read the raw pixel count, which in your case is 720x576. That's why it looks weird and not what you want when played back--the footage is all there, but not drawn as you'd like.
The only real safe bet, in my mind, is to use square pixels when encoding for computer playback, especially when dealing with less-than-technically-savvy clients. Computers use square pixels, and that's what they like. Encode using square pixels for web playback and local playback formats (like WMV, FLV, H.264, some QT flavors), and you'll avoid the weird stretchies. This does, of course, involve some small amount of computation on your part to determine what is the proper pixel count when using square pixels, but in the case of 16:9 widescreen display, it's usually just a case of dividing your height by 9, and multiplying that result by 16 to get the width. Punch those values into AME, and set your pixel aspect ratio to Square Pixels, and you should be in good shape... pun slightly intended. -
SSL shouldn't be this difficult
Hello,
First off, SSL is NOT really difficult... it is that I am just frustrated with the "service provider" that I have to connect to. They are of no help what so ever when it comes to trying to help me figure out what is going on with the SSL connection.
OK, all the service provider has "provided" me is their address and port to connect to... which is for example https://xxx.yyy.zzz 5000
They say that I need to connect into this server on this port in order to send and receive secure messages... So with that I put this little test program together...
----------8<----------
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
import java.security.*;
import javax.net.*;
import javax.net.ssl.*;
public class SSLSocketClient
public static void main(String[] args)
SSLSocket s = null;
PrintStream out = System.out;
out.println("\nTesting socket factory with SSLContext:");
try
SSLContext sc = SSLContext.getInstance("SSLv3");
KeyManagerFactory kmf = KeyManagerFactory.getInstance("SunX509");
String ksName = "test.keystore";
char ksPass[] = "password".toCharArray();
char ctPass[] = "password".toCharArray();
KeyStore ks = KeyStore.getInstance("JKS");
ks.load(new FileInputStream(ksName), ksPass);
// Generating KeyManager list
kmf.init(ks,ctPass);
KeyManager[] kmList = kmf.getKeyManagers();
// Generating SSLSocketFactory
sc.init(kmList, null, null);
SSLSocketFactory sf = sc.getSocketFactory();

I have created a keystore with my client key pair in it.
When I run the program I receive no errors or exceptions. All I receive is 5 ENQs and then the program exits...
My question is, since I have not received an exception, can I assume that I have actually connected to the server? They will not tell me if I have connected or not...
Thanks...If you managed to send and receive data you have negotiated the SSL handshake and made the connection.
After you do that, get the SSLSession from the SSLSocket and have a look at the various things it gives you, such as the peer certiificates and peer principal. This stuff comes from the server.
It's interesting that you didn't need to define a truststore. Try it without the keystore too, to see if they are doing client authentication. If it succeeds without the keystore, they aren't. -
Live stream to android devices? shouldn't be this difficult.
Why doesn't Adobe post a simple tutorial on how to stream live video from FMS 4.5 to Android device? The developer center has a tutorial series that hasn't been updated in years. The Part 8: Streaming to Android Devices (to Come) hasn't been updated in 1.5 years. The server is useless if we can't watch video on Android devices. Surely someone out there has successfully streamed live video to an Android device and can explain how to do it?
Do we need to create an Android Air App to accomplish this?
Thanks for any help!
DaveAs an avid Wowza developer/integrator/consultant (as well as the occasional AMS work), I concur with JayCharles on all of his assertions. The transcoder is completely optional, and you can actually make your own Wowza transcoder module with FFmpeg if the Transcoder AddOn costs are really too steep for deployment.
Having said that, my current solution for live streaming to Android with an off-the-shelf (OTS) player is JW Player, and setting its fallback property to false. It looks something like this:
<div id="videoPlayer">
<!-- Code for non-supported JW Player case. JW Player 6 will not show HLS source on Android. -->
<video src="http://media_server/app_name/_definst_/mp4:stream_ref/playlist.m3u8" controls ></video>
<p>Video not playing? <a href="rtsp://media_server/app_name/_definst_/mp4:stream_ref">Click this link to play in an external media player.</a></p>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
jwplayer("videoPlayer").setup({
playlist: [
sources: [
file: "rtmp://media_server/appname/_definst_/mp4:streamname"

So I have been restoring my iPhone5 from a backup for about 3 hours now however iTunes still says that it is going to take over 24 hours to complete the restore process and the progress bar hasn't moved much at all. I feel like something has gone wrong somehow and it shouldn't take this long to complete. Is there something I can do to speed up this process or do I just have to try to wait it out? I'm scared to just unplug my phone and try again since it might screw something up.
if u unplug then that could put ur device into recovery mode. i would wait

The apple store is so unhelpful. I have an iMac computer operating on Mac OSX 10.5.8. I want to upgrade to the latest Mountain Lion operating system so I can work with the iCloud on my computer and download my emails. I can't seem to purchase this on-line as it keeps telling me to go to the app store. I haven't got the app store on my computer as I am told I need iCloud for which I need the new operating system, which I can't download or purchase as I am sent back to an instruction telling mee to go to the app store icon.
How difficult can it be to simply purchase the software on-line have it shipped to you so you can install it, in the event it cannot be downloaded as it appears it can't be based on my curent operating systems being Mac OSX 10.5.8.Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'

Whilst Apple have withdrawn Snow Leopard from download, you can still get it from Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (if you are in the USA) and they will supply the SL DVD for $30. You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion from the same number.

I'm having a really hard time here.
I want to update my daughters intel from Tiger to Snow Leopard for her to make her life (and mine) easier.
When I try install the OS, I keep getting an error message that OSX can't be installed on this Mac.
What's going on?
Never had so much trouble before.
Please help.
Thanks so muchYou're welcome. Please note that it is a little more difficult to obtain Snow Leopard these days. Please see the post by Kappy at the link below.

Connect iPod touch 2G to Reciever using RCA's? It cannot be this difficult?
Hello!
Need to connect iPod touch 2G to my reciever using RCA's?
But +I do not want to use the headphone jack....+ (I heard I will get higher sound quality using the bottom multi-pin connector on the bottom of the touch going to a left and right RCA's) +I have uncompressed (AIFF) files on my iPod touch and want the best sound quality possible.+
I found a couple companies that make these cables with one being the Cables To Go 4-Feet RCA Stereo to Dock Connector Cable for iPod and also the Nyko Stereo Link for iPod, but from reading the reviews on Amazon neither of them will work with the Touch 2g (or the iPhone for that matter).
I am also open to a simple dock of some sort that would provide me RCA outputs. Seems as if Apples universal dock would be great but it seems to have NO RCA outputs on the back of it.
If anyone has a solution to this I would be very very happy!
+I have looked high and low for a solution for this seemingly simple task.+
All I want is a connector that goes from the bottom of the touch to 2 RCA's so I can input this into
my home stereo so I can listen to my ripped CD's in high quality. A dock would also work too! I do not need charging or anything fancy....
(already have try the Tekkeon NavDock for iPod which was cool because I could watch my videos on tv from my touch but i dont need that)
+*just looking for something simple that works with the iPod Touch 2G.*+
*It cannot be this difficult?*
thanks, techoAs I stated above, the docking connector is not a "true" line-out, it does have a volume-tap so the volume control will work. It probably is somewhat cleaner than the headphone out (haven't measured it), but it is not going to be a significant difference as any improvement you get from the connector is severely limited by the DAC in the iPod.
You get no improvement in sound from using the pins on the 30 pin connector versus a 3.5 mm jack. If you buy a Universal Dock it is passing the signal from the 30 pin dock to a 3.5mm female jack, then you use the 3.5mm to RCA. Going directly from the dock connector to RCA will not improve the sound, the 3.5mm connector is not inferior in itself to the RCA connectors.
The A/V kit will get you the ability to watch your videos on your TV and output the stereo signal to your receiver. If you want even better sound for your music, get an Apple TV and use the HDMI cable to transfer the video and sound:

Oh blast! - what have I done? How can I evert back to this morning?
Ok - you are going to believe this - it's me - StressedMum! I have been trying to connect on Messenger. I have Office for Mac but that messenger software was useless. Couldn't do what we wanted to do. So I downloaded (:(( ) aMSN. Great piece of kit. Then there were additional pluggins and skins to download, add, and configure. I clicked my way through and now I cannot connect on aMSN anymore, neither can I use my Entourage in Mac Office. I have tried restoring Office to no avail, I have removed aMSN to trash. No good. I haven't done anything on the Mac today that needs to be saved apart from a few emails, so can I use TM to take me back to this morning, which will rid me of all my mistakes. I can't seem to identify one particular file that will help me - so a reckon a 'complete back in time' would do the trick? Can't find anything on the help pages. Hope you can help. Thanks. SM
ok - thank you for your concern. I'll try and start at the beginning. I download aMSN - which I was very happy with - then I started to to add pluggins and skins for aMSN - I thinkI must have added something there that I shouldn't have. I closed aMSN and tried reopening it a half hour later only to be told - this: "There was an error executing aspell. This is probably because it was not installed properly and is required for plugin to work. etc etc and to go to aspell.sourgeforce.net to supply correct path..." I could not rid this message - I had to force quit. No amount of patience would allow me to reopen aMSN. I think that during the add ons and plugins I must have selected something to do with emails, or similar - because I notice that my whole Mac for Office applications had gone and was unable to open Entourage. The message referred to a problem with upper and lower case. (I can't find it now as I have restored) The first thing I tried to do was to bring aMSN back to the moment I installed it (before I added any extras) but I still got the same executing error. I then trashed everything to do with aMSN; being more concerned about office. I searched for a typical 'safe' restore for Office and clicked restore - but only 5 items were restored - losing 4 because of this error about upper and lower case??? So I finally tried using the same restore point for Office but this time instead of replacing the exiting folder; I added to it. I then had 2 Office folders, one with only 5 items in it and the other with the correct 9 items. I therefore have trashed the folder with just the 5 items. Everything seems ok at the moment - but I have downloaded again aMSN and it doesn;t like me - it comes up again with the same errors. I have looked at Adium briefly - but not sure that's going to be suitable - that too looks like it will need add ons - video, sound, skins etc... ?? Hope you can make sense of all this. I have not reinstalled OX - wasn't going to without advise - I was just guessing that would be the way in the event of casastrophy? Nothing deleted from TM either.

UEK2 and ASM/ACFS shouldn't be so difficult
We are running Oracle 11g Grid Infrastructure (GI) on Oracle Linux 5 x86_64. To pass security audits, we must apply the latest patches every quarter. This includes both Oracle Linux patches and Oracle database patches. Linux patches and Oracle database patches are applied in the same maintenance window.
We utilize the ACFS feature of 11g GI. ACFS requires a kernel module to match the installed kernel so we must carefully choose our kernel to match what ACFS supports. It has been 10 months since the release of UEK2 and yet the January GI PSU (GI 11.2.0.3.5 PSU Patch 14727347), still does not include support for UEK2. Lenz Grimmer stated a nine month grace period for UEK on Oracle's Linux Blog dated Mar 13 2012. Here is the quote.
+"Now that the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 2 has been released, we will continue to provide support for Release 1 of the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel (2.6.32) in the form of critical bug fixes and security errata for another 9 months. However, new hardware enablement (e.g. by providing device driver updates) will now only be made available through the quarterly updates of Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 2 on the Unbreakable Linux Network. During this grace period, we encourage all customers to switch to Release 2."+
I have reviewed My Oracle Support article ID 1369107.1 - ACFS Supported On OS Platforms.
It looks like the only way to run ACFS on UEK2 is to utilize the October GI PSU (14275572) and then apply Patch 12983005 on top of it to get UEK2 support.
I don't want to be a quarter behind on my patch levels and also have an extra patch to apply just because I want to use ACFS with UEK2. Ultimately I just want to run yum update along with the latest database PSU once a quarter.
What is the best way to express my dissatisfaction with this scenario and encourage the database team to start supporting UEK2 directly via the GI PSU quarterly process?Thanks Avi. I've re-posted in the High Availability » Automatic Storage Management forum.

Even more so, when I try and contact Adobe to get some help, this is the only place I can go!!!!
Why does it have to be this difficult? Why can I not contact someone that can help me????
