My Experience w/Pristine Locked 1.1.1 Failure

I updated my pristine, unhacked, locked iPhone shortly after the update came out. I encountered an error, which forced my phone suddenly and irreversably into a complete restore mode. I called Apple, got through quickly to a rep, quickly got accelerated to a product specialist, and we isolated the error to a pothole during tranmission of the software update to the phone (hadn't got to the firmware steps). _The error persisted until I did a clean restart of both my machine and iTunes._ The apparent problem occurred with traffic on the USB line during the transfer of the software to the phone from my PB G4. Once I rebooted and fresh-starte iTunes, everything went normally with the update, but I had to use the option to restore from an automatic backup, which was old. I lost several weeks worth of Notes and all my camera photos, a few recent calendar entries and recent bookmarks. Not pretty!!!!!! Important lessons: When doing the software update, make sure you've ported your photos back to iPhoto, back-synched your bookmarks and calendar, and emailed important Notes outbound (PAIN!!! can only do one at a time). Only start the update on a restarted machine with iTunes freshly opened. LESSONS FOR APPLE: Make clear how the backup function works! Allow for a forced backup, so I can backup important items immediately prior to the software update (the tech support said there was no way to do this yet.) Give a warning about transferring out iPhone camera photos, which are not part of the iPhone backup file. FIGURE OUT WHY THE USB CAN FAIL DURING THE UPDATE AND EITHER FIX IT, OR WARN PEOPLE TO START FROM A NEWLY OPENED MACHINE AND ITUNES. This was NOT PRETTY, and I'm no hacker! ...and a REAL bummer, because the updates are otherwise great.

Well, Mirrored set was great to protect against HDD crash which is what I needed, on top of this I took complete drive images every two months or so (or such was the plan at least). Now, I will resort to taking images and weekly mysql dumps and cron jobs which will copy my most important folders on a regular schedule. At least I have an extra 1TB drive for these purposes which will pretty much give me all the piece of mind I need (recovery would just not be as smooth and instantaneous as with raid 1, if it worked). Investment in hardware RAID was out of question, so I have no regrets at all, just a wasted time and a lesson. I was trusting Apple's product, although I've heard some discouraging voices about Soft Raid 1 before. I took my chances, I guess.

Anyone experience this type of total system/firmware failure?

2009 MacBook Pro 5,2 (2.66GHz Core2 Duo), recently upgraded to 8GB RAM, 320GB HDD with an OWC SSD drive replacement for the optical drive.
The system ran great, and was really fast given the recent 8GB upgrade and SSD as the main boot drive. I decided to set a firmware password for added security...worked no problem. The system rebooted fine, and requested the firmware password as expected when attempting to boot to alternate drives.
I then enabled FileVault 2 in Lion (10.7.2), and it worked as expected and seemingly encrypted the drive just fine; however, in Disk Utility the main boot drive was greyed out. Figuring it might just be a temporary issue I decided to reboot. Upon restarting, I get the boot chimes and nothing else...dead!
Now when the power button is pressed, the system's fans and HDD start up as expected and the boot chimes sound, but then it sits there. The screen does not turn on, and the system does not boot. The caps lock light activates, but it does not get past this point. Pressing the power button again results in an immediate shutdown, suggesing the SMC is not activating properly since it usually requires a ~5 second press for a hard shutdown.
I am able to reset the SMC, but doing this does not show any difference in behavior. I am not able to reset the PRAM at all--the system just sits in this dead state and then shuts off immediately when the power is pressed. I suspect the firmware password setting is preventing the PRAM from resetting, so I swap out RAM to clear the password (from 8GB to the old 4GB set), but this has no effect and the system behaves the same...dead.
I've tried booting without RAM and the system issues warning beep sounds as expected, and I've tried disconnecting the battery for a while and unplugging the hard drives, but no change.
My only conclusion is a completely corrupt/fried firmware that if only I could force to reset would work properly, so it seems beyond somehow doing this the only options are to replace the logic board (unless anyone has any other ideas).
Anyone else experience this kind of complete firmware/hardware failure?

In my case, nothing since I had already wiped/reformated the internal SSD of the Lion test installation (and it's recovery partition). I presume you are refering to the Lion Recovery feature in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1533:
Press Command-R during startup
Start from Lion Recovery1

System lock-ups after upgrading to Tiger

This topic was previously posted in 'Installation & Setup'.
After 3 days (and 18 views) I got no replies.
Maybe that forum was not appropriate, so I decided to try it in this forum.
About 4 months ago I exchanged my 80 GB Hd in favor of an 200 GB Maxtor 6L200P0. One day later I upgraded OS X 10.3.9 to Tiger (retail DVD).
At that time I experienced a frequent (several times a day) lock-up of my system.
No messages, nothing, not even after powering down and restarting.
After some time I figured out that the lock-ups occurred on Internet access. Clicking on a link in Safari, posting messages on Discussions. Even Mail locked the system a few times. Also Corripio (artwork and lyrics finder for iTunes) caused the system to lock.
After that, I decided to perform an Archive & Install (first time after almost 4 years of using this Mac). Except from having to re-install a number of 3rd party apps. the system seemed to perform well. No lock-ups were experienced for a few weeks.
Problem solved, I thought.
Although far less frequent than before, I do experience those annoying lock-ups a few times a week.
Here are my questions:
What could be the cause of the lock-up?
Is is advisable to perform a Clean Install? What advantage do I have of, it opposite to performing an A&I. I'm reluctant to perform a clean install at the moment, because I haven't found a few serials of commercial and shareware applications yet ( I know, I should have written them down :-/ )
Any hints/tips to track down the exact cause?
TIA
M
P.S. ( I do have a bootable complete backup of my HD on an Maxtor Onetouch II )

Hi, M.
1. You wrote: "What could be the cause of the lock-up?"The number of potential causes range from disk corruption or bad applications to serious hardware problems, such as a defective logic board.
2. You wrote: "Any hints/tips to track down the exact cause?"I suggest treating the "lock up" problem — better described as a "freezes and hangs" problem — similar to a kernel panic as the basic troubleshooting and hardware testing steps are virtually the same. See my "Resolving Kernel Panics" FAQ.
It provides a comprehensive roadmap which you should follow from beginning to end, in the order specified in the FAQ.
2. You wrote: "Is is advisable to perform a Clean Install? What advantage do I have of, it opposite to performing an A&I."The term "Clean Install" does not apply in Mac OS X. That is obsolete Mac OS 9 terminology. The closest Mac OS X equivalent to a "Clean Install" is an Archive and Install with the Preserve User and Network Settings option, which it sounds like you've already tried once previously, but you may want to try again as part of the troubleshooting process I outlined above. See my "General advice on performing an Archive and Install" FAQ for some important tips on this process.
The other options are:
• Archive and Install without the Preserve User and Network Settings option: This reinstalls the OS and wipes out both your accounts and your network configuration, but preserves the previous System folder.
• Erase and Install: Erases the hard drive, i.e. Macintosh HD, and reinstalls the OS from scratch, preserving nothing: your accounts, network settings, and everything else on the drive are deleted.
Of those two, and since you have a bootable backup, the second (Erase and Install) would be the second-to-last thing you would try, the last being taking the machine in for service.
Good luck!

GPS lock on question...

Hi, I am looking to buy another phone, and would like one that locks on to a GPS signal without aGPS and doing it in less that 15min. I currently have an e71, which works great sometimes for this, but very poorly on other times.
Does anyone have any experience with cold lock on times without using A-GPS? Can you post your phone and your average lock-on times? Also say what apps you use (OVI, Garmin, etc)
thanks

If you have location services turned on, then yes it is using your A-GPS chip, though not as heavily as if you have an app open that is using location services.
I guess you'd say it's on and in a low power mode/state.
It's pretty much exactly like you said about Bluetooth how if you have it turned on and you don't have a device connected, it's still using power cause it's basically in a low power state waitin for a device to be connected.
As Apple themselves say if you want to extend your battery life and you are not using or you don't need location services for any of the apps that you currently have running then switch location services off.
This is because the iPhone's A-GPS chip is recieving power, even if it is in a low power state.
To put it simply, when it comes to Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Location Services or even 3G ,(cause these are all battery drawing features), if you don't need it then turn it off and your battery will thank you for it.
I hope this helps

Audio locked at playhead, but goes out of sync if video is cropped

Hi,
Using iMovie HD 6, I have the audio locked at playhead, but if I crop part of the video (beginning or ending), the audio goes out of sync.
Here's what I've done:
1) Extracted audio from video
2) Silenced this audio
3) Imported audio from audio recorder (Edirol R-09HR)
4) Synced the imported audio
*5) Attempted to crop part of the video footage in the timeline... goes out of sync
How do I keep the audio in sync when cropping video?
Thanks!

Hi JohnDoe2009 - firstly, extracting the audio is not necessary in your case. Simply mute the video's audio, by reducing its level to zero - that is what actually happens when you extract the audio, after all.
It is my experience also, that locking audio clips to particular video clips is not fail-safe if further cropping is done afterwards, especially if that cropping is fairly substantial. Where possible, do the syncing after all crop-editing has been completed.
As a last check I always review the syncing before finalising the movie.

Locking during PREPARE_SCHEMA_INSTANTIATION

Anyone had experience with PREPARE_SCHEMA_INSTANTIATION locking tables for extended period of times (on 10.2.0.3)?

Hi
we also have a problem with locks when running the procedure PREPARE_SCHEMA_INSTANTIATION
The main suspect is the patch 10.2.0.4 that installed lately

K7n2g-ilsr IGP graphics interference

When using the IGP, I see moving diagonal lines on my desktop.
I don't think it's a memory compatibility issue since I don't experience any reboots, lock-ups, crashes, etc. I suspect it's the PSU but I need a second opinion on this.
I already experimented with the bios settings with no luck, even on default.
Here's my specs:
XP 1,700+
MSI K7n2g-ilsr
2 pcs. twinmos 512 ddr400 (twinmos chips)
Enermax 330 watts (+3.3v=30A, +5v=32A, +12v=12A, combined +3.3v and +5v= 160W)
I know that the 12v rail is too low, but like I said, I don't experience reboots and everything, just the annoying interference.
I haven't got this problem whenever I use a separate agp card (geforce2mx)

Your combined is low as well...should be more like 200W to get enuff power to this setup...

Zen Vision Problem. Driving me batty! He

Dear Customer Support and fellow Zen Users,
I have had my Creative Zen M: Vision (30G) for just over one year now and for the last few months I have been having many problems with the unit until, finally, it has become stuck today. Here is a short history of my problems and then what I have done to try to solve them:
PROBLEM
Last month the player froze while I was fastforwarding a track. I hit reset and the product started to rebuild the library. However, when it was finished it had only put on 30% of the tracks that had been on the player.
I returned 80% of my tracks to the player and things were working fine.
Yesterday the same problem occurred with freezing between tracks and I had to hit the reset button. I decided to only add a few tracks and formatted the player removing everything.
I added only 5 albums but would experience the player locking up on my computer during the transfer. I d have to reset and start again.
Finally, the player went into recovery mode when I turned it on and has not come out since.
When I turn on the player there is a brief "FIREWARE" error on the start-up screen.
HOW I VE TRIED TO FIX IT
I ve formatted the player a few times.
I ve cleaned up the dri've.
I ve tried to add new firmware but now the player is not being detected on my computer.
I ve tried to use your MP3 Recovery tool but, again, the player is not being detected on the computer.
I erased all Zen software on my computer and reinstalled but still the player is not detected.
In short: Unable to load firm ware. Player boots to recovery mode.
I believe I need to add again some firmware but with the player not being detected it has made that impossible and I am at the end of my rope for options on how to fix my player. I have treated it fine for the year I have owned it and hope this is a simple solution.
Any advice you have would be greatly appreciated on how to fix this problem and get my player back.
Cheers

Why am I seeing slow performance/freezing only while using Publish Services?

I experience significant lag/lock-up when my Publish Services menu is expanded. The animation of the menu itself, as well as the other visual functions oF LR. If the menu is already open, the other parts of the display scroll properly, and no other functionality is affected.
Win7 Ultimate / 6-core AMD / 8GB ram. I do have my catalog (75k photos) on a different drive than the app, but they all have 5GB+ free space at all times. This problem began for me in LR4, and even after having removed publish services, reloading individually, and reinstalling LR, upgrading to CC, my system is hobbled if I try to interact with that region of the Navigator. The functions themselves are fine - uploads, etc. run smoothly. It seems to be a UI thing.

Hi Peter
Thanks - I've found that the files were marked as 'hidden' and thus by switching them on gain I was able to recreate the original location. Regrettably this has had absolutely no effect on my problem. :-(
I have now created a fresh document, studiously linking all my images properly (similar number to a DK 'Eyewitness Travel Guide') and by the time I got halfway through its 80 pages, InDesign had slowed to a crawl - ie 15-20 seconds to respond to any command. It is clearly doing something that it thinks necessary despite all the 'workarounds' people have suggested. Please please Adobe what's going on???

Big problem using 512x4 dimm w/ Neo 2 (Venice core). At impasse, need advice.

Sorry for the semi-lengthly post but Im at the end of my rope here. Here's my issue.
I have a Venice core and recently added a new pair of 512 x 2 to my system. Same exact set of G. Skill DDR 400 dual channel to go with the original 512 pair Ive had. Running @ 2T w/ default SPD (200mhz 2-3-3-6) I tested Memtest 86+ over 50 passes with all four banks filled, as well as isolating the new pair by themselves for 12 hours which tested flawlessly as well. I also ran all four sticks overclocked (216mhz DDR 433) with 2.5-3-3-7 timings which passed both Memtest and Prime 95 for 10+ hours respectively with no error. Everything seems to be in shape.
Now my problem. I keep getting a nasty lock up every time I run Battlefield 2, the whole system becomes completely frozen and its followed by a nasty buzzing noise in my headphones. The timing of it varies greatly. Most often its been after 5 to 15 minutes of play but most recently its been locking up as soon as the server menu updates for some reason, without even loading up the actual game! I tried different drivers and reinstalled the game to no avail. Im pretty sure its directly related to the 512 x 4 configuration as going back to 512 x 2 the game runs without any trouble.
The very first time the game locked up Event Viewer said I had NFTS corruption as a result of the error. I ran chkdisk and some 3rd party diagnostic tools but nothing turned up faulty. Thinking perhaps it was a voltage issue I upped the memory to 2.75 v, yet the next freeze resulted in a BSoD. It said "Page Fault in Non Paged Area". Google brings up a ton of different results for that one so Im not sure what to make of it. Event Viewer called it category 102 event 1003.
I flashed the BIOS to 1.9 to make sure that wasn't the issue (it wasn't). Ive tried a lot of different settings in the Cell menu with timings, mhz and voltage. The longest without error (over 30 minutes before it finally froze) was at the default SPD w/ 2.65v. It always fails eventually though. No other game or application has given me a problem with all four sticks running at once. The thing is BF2 is probably the only app I have that actually uses over a gig of ram at one time though, so its hard for me to be sure its only a BF2 issue at this point.
I could really use some advice here as Im pretty much stuck at this point. If everything checks out in Memtest, would the next suspect be a power supply or motherboard issue? My PSU is a high quality PC Power and Cooling 470w but its gives me some funny sensor readings I have to admit. I never thought anything of them before since everything was stable until adding the ram but now Im wary. Everest diagnostic tool and the BIOS both report very different voltages, for example Everest says the 3.3 rail is only 3.07 v right now, whereas the BIOS says its at @ 3.15. Everest says the 12v rail is spot on @ 11.98 whereas the BIOS says its at 11.67 (yikes). Both agree the 5v rail is roughly 4.9 give or take. Im not sure if either one is right though, like I said this is the first time Ive had stability issues like this and before the ram Ive had my system overclocked and stable.

Thanks Bejon, Ill run it down 1 by 1.

- Do you get lockup´s running BF2 at cpu stock speed ? ( not talking about prime or memtest now. Your signature says OC from stock 2,2Ghz to 2,6Ghz which would mean something like 11x237, your post says memtest/prime 11x216 )
Yes, I still experience the BF2 lock up using stock setting for everything (CPU, multi, FSB, ram mhz, ram timing, voltage etc). I must've confused you with the 216 number, sorry about that. I meant to say my OC is 10x260 fsb using a 166 memory divider, which= 216 mhz for the ram (or DDR 433). This passed memtest and Prime 95 as well as stock, but BF2 still locked up with this setting. So basically overclocked or not, using divider or not... I still get the lockup.
Quote
- Did you actually test the 77.76 driver ( not just any differant driver ?)
Yes, tried drivers from the 72 set, 76, and the latest 77.77.
Quote
- Did your experiment with vcore, meaning for example startup 1.425v and cpu voltage +3,3% - still running at stock speed./ Maybe even try 1.6v for AGP.
1.425v +3.3% is exactly what I use for my overclock CPU setting and neither that nor the stock voltage make any difference. For some reason lowering RAM voltage to default (2.65v) seemed to result in going longer without error. I almost made it past 40 minutes thinking I solved the problem with this voltage but it finally caved in again.
Quote
- Did you install any patches ?
Yes BF2 is up to date.
Quote
- Another thing to check is if your Audio / LAN / VGA have some kind of IRQ or driver conflict.
I checked and it turns out I do have an IRQ with two assignments on it. IRQ 21 has both Nvidia Network Bus Enumerator and Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE Controller assigned to it. I have no idea what this means though, perhaps someone can shed light if its a potential root of the problem.
Also whats confusing me is the fact that sometimes when BF2 locks up with 512 x 4 it happens just loading up the server menu, not even loading game data into ram yet!
Quote
I ask these specified questions because I´m running BF2 flawless on another Neo2 system without any hickups with bios 1.8 and a Winchester+Venice stock speed 4 x 512 RAM (3-4-4-8 )and a 6600GT.
Thats kinda surprising to me with a Winchester because from what I understood only Venice/San Diego had the memory controller capable of running 512x4 @ 400+ mhz DDR. Sounds like you got a great chip!
Well thanks for your kind feedback Bejon, sorry if I came off a little snappy before. Im just very frustrated right now. Im going to try and reformat tomorrow just in case its somehow OS/IRQ related. If that doesn't work then Im really stuck. Also if someone can point me in the right direction in how to test my PSU for errors/bad rails Id really appreciate it.

Converting my Mail from POP to IMAP

I am considering converting my ISP email account in Apple Mail from POP to IMAP. I had never given this much (any) thought until I recently got an iPhone and noticed that the email account that it setup for my ISP email (Charter) was an IMAP one. This has created a little bit of a conflict and has sometimes resulted in my inbox or get mail on my desktop Apple Mail being "locked up" for a while when I have just previously read the mail on my iPhone. (I get the message on my iMac that my ISP email is currently in use by another mail client). I had never run into this problem before and I've read that it does happen and happens more often when you have both POP and IMAP clients trying to access the same mail server.
One question is do I just go into the accounts settings on Mail on my iMac and change the incoming and outgoing servers to the appropriated IMAP ones? Or should I create a whole new account in Mail and use the IMAP settings from the start? What will happen to the folders and subfolders I already have in my Mail program? Going forward with IMAP, will I be able to download the emails from the server like I have always done and categorize them into folders using Mail?
This is all kind of confusing right now. Thanks.
Steve M.

You're welcome.
Is there any harm in leaving my desktop Mail as is (POP account) and just realizing that I may experience an occasional "lock out"?
There is no harm with doing so, but I'm not sure why you would want to.
How do I release the email account from my iPhone?
There is no option for this.
I already have my data settings on the iPhone to "fetch" every hour--not to push. But does this apply to the IMAP account on the iPhone?
Push access for received messages applies to an email account that supports Push access. The following email accounts support Push access for received messages:
MobileMe
Exchange
A Yahoo account created with the Yahoo account preset.
"If" I decided to convert my desktop Mail account to IMAP, could I not just "add" the new account? Would I necessarily have to delete the POP account?
You don't have to delete the POP account, but you would want to make it inactive or disable the account with the Mail app - Mail > Settings > Accounts > Select the Account > Under the Advanced tab for the account settings deselect Enable this account.
If you want access to the locally stored messages in the POP account's Inbox and Sent mailbox with the iPhone's Mail app, you want want to copy the messages to a server stored mailbox or mailboxes after creating the account as an IMAP account.
Can I setup the account as POP on my iPhone and just keep it all POP? Or is this dependent on Charter's policies?
This depends on Charter, but I don't see why you wouldn't be able to access the account as a POP account with the iPhone's Mail app as well, but this will not get rid of the "locked out" problem on occasion.
A POP account is from the early dark ages of email account access with an email client on a computer when the overwhelming majority at the time had access to a single computer only - before there were laptops and laptops became mainstream, and before there were handheld cell phones much less cell phones in the smart phone category. Until the iPhone, phones in the smart phone category were primarily targeted and sold to the business/enterprise market, not to the consumer market. The iPhone changed all that - just look at all the copies and different phones in the smart phone category that surfaced after the original
Although it is possible to access a POP account with more than one email client, a POP account is designed to be accessed with a single email client only and includes a number of limitations that are not a problem with an IMAP account, which is specifically designed to be accessed with more than one email client.
There is no "locked out" problem with an IMAP account. You can store the account's Drafts, Sent, Trash, and Junk mailboxes on the server with the Mail app on your Mac, and the account's Drafts, Sent, and Trash mailboxes on the server with the iPhone's Mail app. The account's Junk mailbox stored on the server with the Mail app on your Mac will be available automatically when accessing the account with the iPhone's Mail app along with all other server stored mailboxes created for the account with the Mail app on your Mac or via webmail access for the account using a browser. You can transfer received and sent messages to additional server stored mailboxes by category with the Mail app on your Mac and with the iPhone's Mail app which will be reflected automatically with each email client. All server stored mailboxes are kept synchronized with the server automatically with each email client used to access the account. Sent a message with the iPhone's Mail app and the message will be available in the account's Sent mailbox with the Mail app on your Mac automatically and vice-versa. Read a new message with the Mail app on your Mac and the message will be marked as read automatically when accessing the account's Inbox mailbox with the Mail app on your Mac and vice-versa. Transfer a received message to a user created server stored mailbox with iPhone's Mail app and the message will be available in that server stored mailbox automatically when accessing the server stored mailbox with the Mail app on your Mac and vice-versa.
I keep the Mail app on my Mac launched and running 24/7 checking my IMAP account for new messages. I have the account's Junk mailbox stored on the server with the Mail app on my Mac, which is available automatically when accessing the account with the iPhone's Mail app and the same with my iPad 2. Any received message that is marked as junk and moved to the account's Junk mailbox stored on the server with the Mail app on my Mac is reflected automatically with the account's Inbox mailbox and Junk mailbox with the iPhone's Mail app and with the iPad's Mail app. The junk mail filter with the Mail app on my Mac is serving as the junk mail filter for the account with my iPhone and iPad as well - remotely since all server stored mailboxes with an IMAP account are kept synchronized with the server with each email client used to access the account.
NONE of this is available with a POP account.
If you have the option to access your email account as an IMAP account and you access the account with an email client on more than one computer or device, to me it is a no-brainer which way to go - IMAP, which is specially designed for this.

FX5200 Personal Cinema TV Problem

TV Not working . No VCR no TV no S-Video
Please Help
I install new Nvidia drivers, and all works ok (exclude remote)
But WinDvr no screen any programs no from TV no from S-video and no from VCR. I connect my VCR to VIDEO-IN connector and if i change source to S-Video or Composite, or TV i see black screen and not more.
I not have any error messages when i start WinDVR
And i think that problem in drivers or in card(physical)
Please Help !!!! S.O.S !!!!
thanks

I`m no expert on this but I`ve had similar problems with my FX5200-128 Personal Cinema card which I have managed to solve. These have included TV picture without sound, unreliable TV capture and channel selection problems. It seems that to get good capture you must start off with a strong aerial signal for the card to work best. This is especially true if you experience poor channel lock.
If you have TV picture without sound then IMO this points to some conflict/incompatibility with video and audio on the PC. I started with simple onboard audio and only managed to get TV sound after adding a cheap SoundBlaster PCI card (make sure the onboard audio device is turned off in BIOS afterwards to avoid problems).
I also met a curious problem with TV Standard selection. I live in Greece and the TV Standard used here is PAL-B. The FX5200 setup insisted that this should be SECAM. This caused a lot of grief and the only way I`m able to get good capture is if I use nearby Turkey - which the settings happily accept as PAL-B. This is covered briefly in the User notes somewhere. So, depending where you are, you may have to log to some neighbouring country to achieve optimum capture.
Hope some of this helps.

Imported audio has green line and goes out of sync.

What the heck is FCP doing to my audio!!!
I render out a movie and treat it in After Effect (no speed changes) and bring the movie back into FCP in a new seq, I then take the audio exported from the same original seq the video was exported from in FCP and it is out of sync! It drifts, and has the green line on if meaning to me that FCP is changing it in some way, this is PAL 48k and was always PAL 48k.
The only way I can get the audio to sync is to render out a whole movie again and just use the sound from it, then it is in sync with my original.
Any one know what is up?
Also, when I import from an aif captured in Pro Tools the waveform is not in sync with the sound I am hearing! This also has a green line on it when placed in the timeline as if the sample rate is not correct but it is 48K in a 48k seq.

Hi JohnDoe2009 - firstly, extracting the audio is not necessary in your case. Simply mute the video's audio, by reducing its level to zero - that is what actually happens when you extract the audio, after all.
It is my experience also, that locking audio clips to particular video clips is not fail-safe if further cropping is done afterwards, especially if that cropping is fairly substantial. Where possible, do the syncing after all crop-editing has been completed.
As a last check I always review the syncing before finalising the movie.

Manually changing DRAM timings

I’m fooling around with the DRAM memory timings in BIOS. My DDR SPD is 3-3-3-8. I’ve changed it in BIOS to 2-3-3-6. Seems to be working ok so far.
CPU-Z shows the cycle time change I made (from 8 to 6), but doesn’t show that I changed the CAS latency from 3 to 2.
Is there a way to confirm the memory timings?
Any timing tips?

Hey guys, from all of the experience, research, and tech support I have invested into this problem (Sean, you are painfully aware of just how much, I know) The CAS is determined by the MOBO based on Slow,Fast,Turbo,Ultra-Turbo. I am not comfortable offering exact "per-setting" numbers, ie. Ultra-Turbo always=2.0, but I do believe it is directly based on SPD. I have had conversations with "The RAM GUY" over at Corsair's official House of Help forum, and he has spent a lot of time (as you might guess) figuring out how each MOBO interacts w/ RAM (all RAM, not just Corsair's, apparently). He told me and many others, that if Fast, Turbo, or Ultra-Turbo is used, then the CAS will not be available for manual configuration. In my experience, even Slow locks the CAS at 2.5, but that may not be universal. Hope this helps. Be well guys!
