Looking for some info, Creative is not much help.

Looking for some info, Creative is not much help. Ok, right now I have an Audigy 2 ZS Platinum. It can use the digital inputs to decode either Dolby Digital, DD EX, DTS, and DTS ES to the analog speaker outputs. (Also a 5. setup.)
I recently built a new PC, and would like to replace the sound card, but I use that feature (as well as some others). Seeing how Creative doesn't want to easily display the capabilities of there cards, I would like someone to let me know what card will allow the fallowing in Windows XP, Vista, and theoretically Windows 7.
Hardware decoding of Dolby Digital, DD EX, DTS, and DTS ES and allow a proper 5. playback through analog speakers.
Recording of whatever is playing out of the the speakers. The recording selection is labeled "What U Hear")
The reasons behind me wanting to buy a new card are simply that I would prefer to run it through PCI-Express, and have full compatibility at the release of Windows 7 without any loss of features I need. From what I can tell, if things work in Windows Vista they will work in [email protected]

All I can say to you (someone correct me if I'm wrong) is that Xtremegamer's doesn't decode DD/DTS via hardware with official drivers (altough they're capable of - all X-Fi are capable of decoding). XtremeMusic does the job with official drivers. I don't know the rest of the models. Someone adds [email protected]

Looking for some info before deciding to install

Normally, I would try to some searching before posting, but I've been pressed for time lately. Anyways, I'm looking for some info about Solaris before deciding to dive into installing it.
1) Can it be installed on what's a currently triple-booting system without problems? In this case, Solaris would be installed onto half of the slave HD.
2) How difficult and lengthy is the installation process?
3) Does Solaris come with it's own unique bootloader? Can it recognize other operating systems? Is it possible to not install that bootloader and simply edit the configs for a preexisting GRUB to allow it to boot Solaris?

Looking for some info on how to play music files on IPAD2

Hi and thanks for sharing. Trying to figure out how to play sound files such as wavs or mp3s on my ipad2 while I browse the internet or use my computer. I was trying to see if the music feature will play my songs or if I can import downloaded files from the net to itunes and if that will play in the background. I have an audio program that can send sound files to email and was trying to figure out how, similarly, to get this play in the background while I do things too. That and sound files downloaded from the internet. Do these go to iCloud when you download them? Can I import sounds into itunes with my iPad someway. (It's the only computer or device I own). Basically looking for a pathway to get music from my audio program that's sent to email, and clips I've DLed off sites on the internet, to play while I use the pad or browse the net. Thanks for your intel on the mission. Cheers!

Newmac user looking for some info

Hi everyone,
Just ordered an ibook(12 in - the only one my budget would allow at the moment) on Monday and it should be here soon hopefully ..fingers crossed. It is in shanghai right now...
Anyways, I was wondering if anyone had a list of favourite must have programs for it.
I will be networking with my desktop pc that is running windows xp ..
Also will be using my palm with it as well which application is better palm desktop or the other sync program?
If all goes well and we like it( I know I will- my other half might not) we are going to get ourselves a desktop one as well next year.
Does anyone have any tricks or hints to share?
Looking forward to your replies..

I can't speak to the Palm question, but my list of "must have" programs includes -
SuperDuper! - a great easy to use program for cloning your hard drive to make an external FireWire drive bootable. This is essential for recovering from system problems and good overeall protection. $19.95.
Cocktail - a brilliant front end for running all sorts of maintenance tasks that would normally have you using Terminal. It is very easy to use and very useful. $14.95.
I also use a couple of programs to keep tabs on system health -
Temperature Monitor puts the CPU temp right in the menu bar so you will always know where you stand. Free.
MenuMeters puts a whole set of reading in the menu bar like CPU usage, network activity, memory usage, and hard drive activity. Free.
X Resource Graph puts a few more things on a running graph like fan speeds. It pretty much duplicates Menu Meters and Temperature Monitor, but in a nice graphical display that is not on the menu bar. Free.
For more advanced data recovery and repair, lots of users swear by Disk Warrior. I have yet to need it, but I plan on purchasing it soon.
I have no affiliation with any of these companies. I am just a happy user of them.

Beginner programmer just looking for some info...

Hey, I've posted a couple questions on here already today. And with those questions I've received a lot of great feed back. And I thank all of you for your help. But here's another question, and actually probably more important for me at this time than my other ones. I've just recently started working with Java a little bit. It is the first programming language I've used (other than picking at QBasic way back when, just messing around as a kid). But now I'm extremely interested in programming and was hoping some of you would be able to help me get started. Pointers, tips, suggestions? How did you all get started? Any good tutorials online that could help me? Good book suggestions? Basically, where should I start? Thanks, again, for all of your help!!!

Any good tutorials online that could help me?http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/
Basically, where should I start?Well, most of us probably started by taking classes at school and by doing assignments. If you are doing this on you own then you will need to read and create your own assignments. One way to do this is to find a topic that interests you and then attempt to answer questions in this forum on that topic.
For example, I was interested in learning how Swing worked, so I read the Swing tutorial from the link given above. Then, to test my knowledge, I tried answering questions on the Swing forum. If I didn't know the answer outright then I would read the API some more, or search the forum to see if the question has been asked before. The more questions I answer, and the more answers I see from other people help me to increase my knowledge. Slowly I increased my knowledgw and have now fooled some people into thinking that I actually know something about Swing.

Looking for some info?

Hello, i am currently an art student who is looking to use java for an installation project. I was hoping that someone could send me in the right direction for either source code or help. I do have knowledge in Java however the project i believe is above my skill.
For the java i need be able to start the program use a timer to count how long someone has been there. Then once they are finished i need a print out of an array of things that happened since they were there. For example if a baby is born every 5 seconds, and the person used the program for 15 seconds, then i need to print out to them that 3 babies were born. Any help would be appreciated thank you!

Connect your phone to iTunes, then right-click on the name of your phone on the left sidebar and select Reset Warnings. Then sync again and you should get a warning listing the problem files.

Looking for some creative guidelines for book formatting

I am formatting a book, my first one, and am about to start refining the overall formatting to make it look beautiful. I'm running into a bit of a creative block, and am looking for some basic guidelines for book formatting. I'm wondering about fonts, how many to use, ideas about heading heiarchy's, fonts for tables relative to the rest of my text, etc. I have everthing formatted, but it just looks ackward and ugly because I don't have a sensitivity to the standards.
Does anyone know of a resource where I could find some guidance on this?

Looking for some advice.

Hi. Hope this is right forum. First post. A brief background. Years ago (2007-2008) I created a web portfolio for school. First it was in HTML (Dreamweaver) and then Flash. I hadn't really touched it in years and decided this past couple of months, after playing in the medium again, to get back into wed design, 3d, and digital content creation. That said, I went in and updated both the HTML and Flash versions with the knowledge I currently have, limited though it is. I now would like to go forward and build a completely new site and teach myself HTML, JavaScript, and WebGL along the way (possibly before hand). Hopefully I'll get working on the new site before the end of the year. In the mean time, I'm using my old site as a stop-gap measure. I've also taken books out from the library to begin journey into the above mentioned languages.
This all said, I'm looking for some advice on what direction I should go next...look into... Does my current objective seem reasonable? Also, could anyone give feedback on what I did wrong and what I've done right on my old site. I think, as far as what went wrong, the Flash page is just too large. No one wants to wait so long for it to load. I think I got carried away with it. Also, too many sound effects. That said, I think the HTML site was constructed in an "old-fashion" way. No one makes sites like that anymore. I basically set it up in Photoshop, sliced it, and assembled it in Dreamweaver. The end result is a bunch of tables in HTML? A friend suggested I look into a CMS (?) like WordPress?
Here's my current site: http://www.personal.kent.edu/~mstingle/
Constructive feedback on what I did right and wrong would be great. And, where I should be looking next for rebuild of my portfolio.
Cheers.

WebGL is still experimental. Most browsers don't fully support it yet.
http://caniuse.com/webgl
The current trend is Responsive Web Design -- layouts that work in all devices (mobile, tablet and desktop). This technology relies on CSS layouts (no tables) with media queries for different viewport widths. Below is a crude example built with the FluidGrid Layouts feature in DW CS6 or CC:
http://alt-web.com/FluidGrid/Fluid2.html -- resize your browser's viewport to see it in action.
Flash is dead on the web now because the world's most popular mobile & tablet devices don't support it. Animations are mostly being built with HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript. See Adobe Edge Animate.
If you're not a skilled coder and just want a basic static web site, Adobe Muse might be all you need. http://www.adobe.com/products/muse.html That said, Muse cannot support server-side programming so you can't use it for advanced features like CMSs, blogs, etc...
If you're a Creative Cloud member, you can use Behance & ProSite to build & share your portfolio online.
http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud/behance-community.html
http://prosite.com/
In terms of your own site, ask yourself how much content & which features it will need to support in the coming months/years. If it's going to be a relatively small site (under 20 pages), a static HTML site is probably all you need. IMO, WordPress -- a dynamic CMS built with PHP & MySql databases -- would be overkill. However, if you plan to make your site into a blog for example, then a dynamic CMS is an option to consider. WordPress isn't the only kid on the block either. There's also Drupal, Joomla!, and many more...

I am looking for some advice on data roaming in Lanzarote

Hi All I am going to Lanzarote in a few days and I am looking for some advice on data roaming, what add on's are available and how much will it cost.There isn't much info on the website.Also my son is on Orange, does anyone know what the charges will be for him? We are both on pay monthly. Thanks

Buying a bundle doesn't mean that your device will work aborad you need to make sure roaming is enabled on your account.
If you have a EE extra plan you still need to make sure roaming is enable on your account your plan only gives you free/cheaper calls when abroad.
If your wanting to enable roaming on your account there could be a deposit to pay if you haven't had the device for about 6 months.
Unless you have paid the deposit then roaming is not enabled on your account.
You need to activate roaming on your account by calling 150 from your device or from a landline 01707 315000 before you leave the UK.
But you can still do this if you are abroad.
If you have had the device/contract for 6 months or over you can login to your online account and turn on roaming yourself
Manage this device>Usage controls>Roaming abroad - Allow and Call abroad and turn it on. If the option is not there you need to call
It can take 24 hours to activate
If you had this device/contract for under 6 months you need to call customer services on +44 7953 966250 from a landline.
Once you have activated roaming you can then use this link to see what cost there is and what bundles you can have.
http://explore.ee.co.uk/roaming/ee
Please read this about voicemail
http://ee.co.uk/help/getting-started/setting-up-voicemail/divert-to-voicemail
And this
http://ee.co.uk/articles/set-up-your-phone-for-using-abroad
Also sending a text to 150 with the words of RO country your going to i.e. RO Spain will get you a reply of what the costs will be from that country.

Looking for some assurances that I haven't made a mistake switching to Mac.

Bought an intel-powered IMac 9 days ago and love everything about it's look, functionality, etc.. Only problem: I've had a bout of "Application has closed unexpectedly" occcurrances while using Safari (while at AOL.com deleting emails from aol account) and while editing pics in iPhoto. As this happened time and again, I got a sad, sinking feeling that I'm headed for the same frustrations that I've had w/ every Windows machine I've ever owned. Ugh!..I switched to Apple for the specific purpose of avoiding crashes!!! Apple support walked me through steps to fix (removed/updated Quicktime, and check a few other things..). They were very helpful, but... I absolutely detest having to do this. Other than Office:Mac, i've added nothing to this machine! I'm really stressed about this. I paid far more for this than I would have for a Windows machine simply because I had heard that Apple machines don't do this sort of thing!!
Please tell me that this is normal and expected with a new machine and not a harbinger of more complicated problems to come!! I'm hoping that once resolved, I won't much more of this.. On the other hand, if many of you feel that this issue is a bad omen, I'll take the machine back while I still can. ..What a pity though, it's truly been a joy to use so far.

Hi syd123! And Welcome to Discussions!
No you haven't made a mistake! You will love your Mac!
Deleting AOL Mail, crashes Safari (Consolidation)
It seems the most recent Safari, and or 10.4.4, update has created this problem.
Apple & AOL are both aware of this, but, as far as I know, no correction has been implemented.
Here are some of the work arounds, that I have been able to discern from the various posts regarding this issue.
Use the FIREFOX BROWSER.
Use your AOL Mail program.
Use this utility AOL SERVICES ASSISTANT, to set up Apple Mail, to access AOL Mail.
Access the AOL Mail thru Classic AOL Webmail.
And here are links, to the various threads, discussing this issue.

Looking for some advice on what to do about

So I have a macbook pro - late 2007 model I guess
2.16 core duo(just before the core 2 duo's i guess)
2gig's ram
ATY,RadeonX1600 256mb
My problem itself is in 3 parts
1.) My battery fried late 2008(have it running off the adapter since) and I was wondering if my model will fit with the 2008 model batteries? If so do you know how much it would cost(cdn dollars if possible)
2.) My video card is from what I believe to be ruined/terrible shape. I've been using SMC fan control for awhile to sway the overheating, and it helps but I believe the damage was already done while I did not have it active while using my computer for games and other various things(MBP's seem to run insanely hot?)
I will be calling the apple store i bought it from tomorrow but I was looking for some advice on any type of diagnostic tests I might be able to do to test my video card as well how much would it cost to replace(assuming you can't upgrade much in a laptop)
3.) Wondering your opinion on the overall value of the computer with the replacements/without.
It appears to run perfectly fine though sometimes when program's open up I start to see tearing and pixel's looking crazy all over my screen(assuming a fried video card)

You can buy the battery design for any old MacBook Pro models (not the unibody). MacBook Pro from the first to the last generation uses the same battery. It cost $129 (not sure how much it cost in Canadian but probably a $20-$30 premium). As for your graphics card, Apple has a one price model for all hardware repairs ($310 or something around there and converted to Canadian probably around $350 to $360). I think you should get it replaced. The only test that I can think of is to re-install the OS and see if the problem occurs, if it does then its most likely a hardware issue. There is no standard test that's widely available. With the replacement I think the computer values in the range of $1800 to $1500) and without the repair I would say about $1350 to $1000 at best.

Looking for some app which send SMS when there is Sim change in Iphone 4 G. Do we have any such software which is free

looking for some app which send SMS when there is Sim change in Iphone 4 G. Do we have any such software which is free or even paid will work.

I thought that is what the big deal was that people did not know until they opened the box and started using the iPhone 5, that it not only worked with one carrier but several carriers. I did not say it will work with any carrier at one time. I was trying to find out the reason for this and why people were so surprised that the iPhone 5 had this function and the reason for it. As stated in my post, is it there so that after your contract is up and you want to go to another carrier you do not have to purchase a new iPhone, you cna purchase a SIM card that works with your new carrier.
The Otterbox Defender has a tendency to let too much dirt, dust, etc. in the cracks on the case. At least this has been my expereince. I was thinking something more along some of the really durable cases at BallisticCaseCo.com
As far as the iPhone 5 having issues, I have heard that there were more than usual with the first couple of manufactured batches that were shipped. For example the Map App by Apple, the scratches on the backside of hundreds of iPhones, etc. I am hoping these will get to be less and less, but with the recent riot at the one plant in China where the iPhone 5 is assembled is supposed to increase the waiting time.

Looking for some info, Creative is not much help.
