Microsoft should take most of the blame.

I think Microsoft should take most of the blame for what is happening to us creative labs customers. Too many drivers are in still beta, or hardware is not supported at all. This is unfortunate. How long was Vista in the works? Didn?t it give Microsoft enough time to hustle hardware manufacturers to release drivers or at least have them well on their way to do so?
Its not rocket science hardware companies like creative etc are struggling at the moment to give us fully baked solid drivers.
Microsoft sucks!!!!

I'm not sure blame is the right word; although MS have certainly changed things massi'vely in Vista, much of which quite late in it's development it is also important to recognise that progress is important and so these changes are quite reasonable. If anyone is to "blame" it's the PC Retail industry in general who sell this "magic and?pixie dust" idea that computers are these?fantastical devices which can seamlessly interface any piece of software with any piece of hardware. Masses of people have been dazzled with the new Vista Aero interface and like zombies they head to the store as they simply must have it now, and pay no heed to whether it will actually work with their systems or not. Don't misunderstand me, I love progress, I love shiny new things, I'm a geek 00%, but I've also got 30+ years dealing with these things. I would love to see how people would react to manually setting up IRQ and DMA settings back in the old days. Tsk, kids today, they just have it too easy?

Multiple Screens - On Second Screen Firefox takes most CPU

Running Windows XP SP3. I have two monitors. When Firefox runs on the first screen everything works fine. When I open a second Firefox, or even just one, and try to use it the second screen - Firefox takes most of the CPU. This is a dual-core AMD system. Basically it was taking all the CPU from one of the cores.

The behaviour you're experiencing is normal. The second screen is actually a stretched version of the filmstrip rather than the real grid view. When second screen is showing a grid view the primary screen will be in loupe view (one image only). Therefore, any attempt to delete multiple images will be denied. Instead, you should get a dialog like the following, which asking to decide between remove/delete the most selected image (i.e. the master).
The workaround is to make the primary display the grid view and second the loupe view, although this approach introduces some of its own limitations.

'0' New Posts button should take you to end of thread not beginning

Currently if you click the New posts button for a thread when it's zero it takes you to the first post of the thread. I think it should take you to the last post of the thread. If you click the title it takes you to the first post, no reason to have two links that offer the same functionality.
Thanks

Actually there are options the user can set. For me, clicking the title takes me to the first NEW post. If there are zero new post listed for a thread, I don't waste my time clicking the thread at all. I believe most have their account set up the same.

Why is it taking 2hours to download a movie. I have 11MB...it should take 2 to 3 minutes. Anyone has an answer to improve the speed?

My apple tv is slow to download a movie. I have 11MB...it should take 2 to 3 minutes if that long. The Movie apps on my blu ray are almost instant. Anyone has an answer to improve the speed?

I have a 50x5 Mbit cable business class modem in my house (doing that give me priority bandwidth over other residences).... The most I EVER get from the iTunes Store is 4-5MBytes/sec (about 35 Mbits)... Usually I get 1-2 MBytes/sec to iTunes or any device
My guesses are
1) Apple just doesn't have the bandwidth during certain times
2) I notice they throttle accounts. If I download an entire hd season, I start out fast, the it slows after a few hrs... Im guessing apple has a max data cap per day then slows you down.

Thanks King_Penguin for taking time to read and reply.
I just purchased this movie on Thursday, May 15, so just a few days ago. I have never had any trouble whatsoever since I have been in Vietnam. I have downloaded several movies and even music and they have all synced to my respected Apple products except for this purchase.
Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean by studios and different versions. Could you please explain?
I checked my purchased list in my purchase history under my account and there are no hidden items.

Why is it that when I go to the search screen to find a particular message in a conversation it comes up with the message but when I click on it it takes me to the conversation where the most recent message was sent and not the message I wanted

Why is it that when I go to the search screen and type in a particular message I want to view, my iPhone finds it but when I click on it it only takes me to the conversation at the most recently thing texted and not the particular message I clicked on?

Never occurred to me you can search messages that way, thanks.
Another way to do it is to scroll from the most recent message to the top of the screen and tap load more messages, repeatedly till you reach the one you want.
I like your method better, but with both methods it refreshes to the most recent message.

This happens with only one bookmark. It takes me to a login page, as it should, I log in -- and it doesn't log me in to the admin page, it takes me to the website. This is the website I work on, so now I can't work on it from my laptop.

All of my bookmark and log in functions have worked in previous Firefox versions. But after this last one, the log in function fails with this one bookmark. It takes me to the log in/administrator page, as it should, I log in -- I can see the admin address flash by as it works, but Firefox winds up taking me to the website itself, not the admin dashboard. So ... when I need to work, I have to switch to Safari for just this one site.

Hello Norman,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. To find out what the Other section is on your iPod Nano, the following will explain what the Other section is all about.
Understanding capacity on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1867
Once that is complete, then check the appropriate sections to see what is there. If you cannot isolate the issue then you may need to restore the iPod Nano. The following will assist with the restore process.

If you have an iBook G4, (PPC) you can't do much.
But if that is a MacBook (intel) you may be able to
upgrade the OS X, if the hardware is up to it...
Since there were about nine different build models
of MacBook (not powerpc iBook) to identify what
one you have would be the first step to knowing
what OS X and RAM upgrades it could use.
If the computer is not already at OS X 10.6.8,
it can't go online to get or use OS X 10.7.5. So,
when you more accurately describe the 'Book,
detailed information is available.
When you find the serial number, there is a web
page that can be used to identify by serial no.
http://www.powerbookmedic.com/identify-mac-serial.php
That'd be a first step. Or even the Model number
which should be visible on the outer case by hinge.
Good luck & happy computing!

Course to take to get the most out of OBI EE

Could you tell me what courses I could take to get the most out of OBI EE? What languages I could use? Java, .Net? database courses?
My background is vb database programmer, a little .Net, a little C++, etc.
Thanks!

Your question is almost too much a personal one, begging the question "do we (husband and wife) feel comfy sharing one account on the Mac" maybe thats why nobody answered you.
It doesnt complicate anything, but it adds steps for switching accounts on the Mac/ purchases etc. of course
since your question is mostly personal, ..I wont answer THAT part of it, but creating a new account is easy.....messing with switching back and forth is also a personal preference 'issue' as well. I prefer to keep things simple, but...........you and yours, I dont know.......

Try holding the home and lock buttons until the iPad reboots. If it does not start up normally, then you will have to restore. To avoid any longer downloads, go to here: http://www.ipswdownloader.com/download-ipad-ipsw-files.php
and look for your iPad and download the latest firmware. When done downloading, make sure the file is in a easy place to get to. Then, go on iTunes and connect your iPad. Hold your shift key, and press restore. Locate the .ipsw firmware and restore. Make sure no programs are open during the restore proccess as it may interfere.
