My new Venture card looks very cool

EMV of course, but no numbers on the front. They are stacked on the back of the card

Like the Discover IT or old QS1 card except with a chip? Post a picture I had one of the old QS1 cards without the chip and it had all the usual stuff (name, card number, MC logo) on the front, albeit it was not embossed. From the OP's description of the Venture only the name is on the front, with the card number and network logo (MC/V) both on the back, similar to the Citi DC card. If this is correct, that is very cool indeed!

The new Creative Zen looks very n

I assume the SD slot will take SDHC cards? 25 hour battery life for music seems reasonable(what was Creative thinking when they released players with under 5 and especially under 0 hours of play time for music?). This is the first mp3 player from Creative in a long while that I am excited about. Of course it still doesn't have the features I really want in an mp3 player though such as? having both AM and FM radio, a microphone jack and advanced recording features, being power by a AA battery,? and variable speed playback. I just read a review and the review said that there?are no dedicated volume buttons on the player. That is a disappointment.Message Edited by JK23 on 09-25-20070:30 AM

"although it is a nice player it leaves Creative's current line-up with no large HDD player "?How much storage do you need? I could understand that if a player has hundreds of hours of battery life then having a huge storage capacity would be useful. With 25 hours for music or 5 hours for video, how many hours of entertainment do you need?
You're not thinking outside the box. Imagine having a collection of 300 albums connected to your home stereo. Without the hassle of sorting through hundreds of CD.
The convience of being able to travel with that collection anywhere you wanted, such as a school dorm, saving alot of free space in the room.
As for battery life, well you don't have to use a battery in every scenero, if you have it plugged into a stereo system then just use the AC Adapter.
Creative needs to start increasing the size of the HDD players an support lossless codecs.Message Edited by TimT on 09-25-200709:32 AM

TV (video) output from new nano looks very good!

Just a comment for those who may be wondering how the video quality on the new iPod nano looks when output to a TV. I have one of the old iPod AV docks with the s-video port and the new nano seems to work fine with that combination (using a standard s-video cable between the dock and the TV). Thus far I'm really impressed with the video quality, I can't see a single problem, the color is good, the quality and sharpness is as good as I've seen from any iTunes Store content, and as far as I can tell the frame rate is fine (no stuttering, skipped frames, or problems with audio sync). I'm amazed that such high quality video can come from such a small device. If it continues to look this good (after viewing more content and after more testing) then I think Apple may have "hit one out of the park." This thing could turn out to be the most popular iPod yet (if you have any interested in video and still want a small device).

I just found out that the video out (TV) on the new nano supports video playlists so you can create playlists for back-to-back display on the TV. Not even the AppleTV will do that (even though the latter has been a highly requested feature for the AppleTV since day one). In fact, if you can do without the on-TV menus you may find that the nano is a better video output device than is the AppleTV (that is, the menus system on the nano doesn't appear on the TV output).
Also, I just competed a few hours of video playback to my big-screen TV from the nano and I'm still impressed. No video problems at all, looks very good considering the quality limitation from the content that is currently on the iTunes Store (limited to standard definition, no HD movies, HD TV, or HD music videos as yet).

I updated my iPad to 7.0.6 but I find the new look very irritating. In mail I can no longer swipe left on a message to erase it. The font in calendar is so small I can't read my appointments. I happen to like the yellow paper that was in notes.

You have to swipe from right to left to delete mail.
In the settings, accessibility you can make fonts bolder, that helps a bit.
THe yellow paper...sorry, no tweak for that unless you find a different notes app to use.

Error -36 when trying to copy photos from new memory card to mac hd? HELP!! very important photos!

bought a new memory card, took 700+ photos, i can preview the videos (.mov) in finder and can see the thumbnail preview of the photos (.nef) but cannot open the photos larger in preview or copy any of the videos/photos to the hd. I can open the photos in photoshop directly from memory card but cant copy or move photos/videos from memory card to mac hd. (error -36 pops up..something about the file cant be read) please help!

I took the memory card back to best buy and the geek squad was able to help me fortunately by putting all of my pic files onto one of their PCs and then putting all my pics back onto a NEW memory card; then we plugged the new memory card into the computer and transferred the files seamlessly. Apparently there was some kind of issue with the way my memory card was formatted. I now put my new memory card into my camera, format it (very easily done with the in camera menu), and take a few test shots and transfer the pics to my computer before doing anything valuable with it. Thankfully all of my files were not damaged.
*BEWARE!! DO NOT FORMAT YOUR MEMORY CARD WHILE YOU HAVE PICS ON IT AS IT WILL CAUSE ALL PICS TO BE DELETED! IF YOU HAVE VALUABLE PICTURES TRANSFER THE ENTIRE DCIM FOLDER TO ANOTHER COMPUTER, THEN ERASE MEMORY CARD AND FORMAT IT, YOU THEN MAY BE ABLE TO PUT THE DCIM FOLDER BACK ON THE SAME MEMORY CARD AND USE IT SUCCESSFULLY. IF YOU STILL CANT USE THAT SAME MEMORY CARD YOU CAN TRY THE SAME PROCESS BUT AT THE END PUT THE FOLDER ONTO A NEW MEMORY CARD INSTEAD.
Hope this helps someone =)

Internet browseing, FONTS LOOK VERY WEIRD (BLURRY) NEW TO MAC!

hey everyone, adam here...just switched from windows to mac last week and still have a lot of questions... one thing that ive been wondering tho is why a lot of the fonts when browseing and such now seem to look very blurry, as well as some pictures...fonts that didnt look this way in windows..is there some way to change this, or is this just something i dont know about..
it does this only on firefox,and i cant figure out why, it looks fine on safari?
adam harrison

adam,
Sounds like font smoothing.
In System Preferences>Appearance what "Font smoothing style" is selected?
Also what is the size set for turning off font smoothing? You might try selecting a higher number.

Do I need a new grapics card?

I have a factory(somewhat) Deminsion 3000 from Dell. The only thing that I have upgraded on it was the memory (512MB to 2gigs) I play a game which I think most people are familiar with, World of Warcraft. Now my question is related to FPS. The computer starts and loads decently, but for all of those who play WoW, hearthing is moderatly fast and so is loading screens, but general moving around is sluggish at best with all setting on LOW (average of 3 FPS while moving and 3 FPS standing still). I was wondering if a new graphics card would help fix this, and if so, what do I look for? I was also wondering if a new graphics card would make my youtube video's run faster while having WoW minimized, and possibly streaming with Xfire?
Thanks,
Zef

Your biggest bottle neck is your processor. Although WoW does use the video card, and a new one would help, it's just not worth it imo. WoW is very processor heavy and that is what will give you the biggest increase in performance.
I don't think the computer has a PCI-Express port, so you'd have to get a PCI video card and you might even need a more powerful power supply....all things that are not worth it.
You'll be MUCH better off getting a new computer and upgrading the PSU and video card on the new one. (Unless its a gaming PC out of the box)
Youtube 'speed' is generally based off of your internet connection, not the video card. As far as streaming, you'll need a new video card and processor before you can play and stream efficiently.
I don't play WoW anymore, but I can tell you how big of a different the processor makes vs. a new video card. I used to get 10-12fps mid fight / Dalaran with an old AMD 5000+ dual core, 5gb of ddr2 and an Nvidia 260gt video card. I picked up the Intel i7-970 6-core, 6gb of ram, and the same Nvidia 260gt... but this time around, my fps didn't drop below 60 no matter what I was doing.
On a side note, I guess that explains how people can be so bad at WoW. Getting 3 FPS while moving must make it hard to play well...
Although I do work for the Geek Squad, all comments and opinions are my own.

My CS4 PS no longer recognised the iPhoto library since a new video card was installes a few days ago. How do i fix this? I can drag and drop but then I can't use camera raw feature.Tks

When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive. It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas? I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

IPhoto 6.0 slide shows looks very distorted

I have a new 19'' widescreen TFT monitor on my mini mac and now my iPhoto 6.0 slide shows looks very distorted.
This widescreen TFT have a 16:9 aspect ratio (1440x900 pixel).
I found no setting in iPhoto for the screen with an 16:9 aspect ratio. There are only format settings for 16:10, iDVD or act monitor. But no one works fine!
Is there any possibility that I can show my "slide shows" in the correct format? (Also with black bars)
Can anyone help me fix this problem?
Thanks in advance

I am experiencing a very similar problem. Michael, have you solved your issue yet?
With my setup (PowerMac Dual G4 533 MHz with an NVIDIA GeForce2 MX graphics card, and Gateway FPD2185W monitor, native display resolution 1680 x 1050), iPhoto slideshows show pictures off center (taking up the right 2/3 of the display and leaving the left blank). The entire picture is also not visible. I'm sure it is switching resolutions when doing the slideshow since when I stop the show, some of my apps are in different positions on the display. I have tried switching stuff in the preferences, as well as trashing my old iPhoto prefs file. Nothing worked.
Thanks in advance for any insights!

3000 j115 A11 stopped working after installing new graphics card

I thought i would be slick and install a new graphics card (asus GEForce 8500GT) after i put it in my 3000 j115 A11 everything stopped working. I can turn the tower on and it gives two beeps. Nothing displays on the monitor (it doesn't leave powersaving mode). It is also very quiet like it is not even trying to work. Did I just destroy my computer? Is there anything I can do?
PS. I did take the asus card back out, so I'm not that lucky
PSS. Got back to being able to boot but now I can't get back into bios to switch from PCI back to original built in card. If I try it just hangs after pressing enter to interupt normal setup

I find this thread very interesting. I am assuming this system (3000 j115 A11) is the same as one I mentioned in a post from June 12 (7387A11... Graphics upgradeable?).... and is still hanging out there. Perhaps if Lenovo, or anybody else for that matter, could/would provide SPECIFIC upgrade instructions we could all be enlightened. (In my case I do not own a Lenovo computer but I am hoping to help my sister-in-law with her Lenovo and don't look forward to a major meltdown if the systems are not capable of this, otherwise, simple upgrade.)
Niether of the 2 previous posters mentioned if they upgraded the PS in thier respective systems prior to the graphics card installation (although ala17 "recently" did.). One had issues and the other didn't. If that should be the first step toward the upgrade, it would be helpful to know beforehand.
Thanks and good luck. Post back if you get to the bottom of it.

Want to purchase a new graphics card

I would like to purchase a new graphics card for my G5 to work with Aperture. Not sure which cards will work with my machine.

Curious... Aperture is for photos, still images
right? That is not graphics intense on a machine so
spending outrageous $$ on a high end ATI card would
be crazy. nVidia and ATI have nice AGP 8X cards for
under $200... personally, I would look for the best
vram (GDDR3 is the latest, greatest and fastest) and
go no less than 256Mbs... higher means more $$. You
unfortunately cannot go for PCI-Express, that's
faster than AGP. Good Luck...
Generally, still image work is not very taxing on a video card. With Aperture, it's a different story. Aperture relies heavily on CoreImage which offloads much of the processing onto the video card. So, in this case, a high end ATi card does make sense. If the OP were asking about Adobe's Photoshop or Lightroom, I would agree that the less expensive cards would be a better choice.

VERY COOL: the web app for review & approve

I have downloaded the package at
http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/FinalCutServerIntegrationSample/
read the readme, which is actually a manual, and set up everything accordingly. And now I have a very cool web app for review & approve with the same look and feel as the client. This is such a great feature that I really have no clue why apple is hiding it. There are third party apps that are less cool and cost a lot and don't send comments and flag back to FCsvr as this web app does.
And the best thing: it's very easy to install.

Don't give up so soon..
Delete all XML files in the xmlin folder. try it again and when you see in "search all jobs" go to the administrator/log panel en double click on the upmost row (the one that inform you that the script has run). If it says cannot read XML file, the go to the xmlin folder and check if there is a new XML file. There probably is but not with the title you gave to the asset. This means that the script had problems assigning the title to the name of the XML file.
Try now uploading a new file. Don't change the filename and give a tite of something without spaces. See if it works then.
Also be aware that you set the priority probably to medium. A normal device scan would probably stop this.

New Graphix card

Hello guys,
Hey I just installed a new graphics card (MSI Geforce 5200 fx VTD128) into my system and Im getting some strange results. I would greatly appreciate a comments on what is causing my games not to run. My cpu details are at my web site http://users.adelphia.net/~anarion/K7n420P/msi_k7n420_pro_ms.htm
Thanks,
Sean

Hi,
Erahndor: Please take the time and post history of problems here! List all hardware and OS in use. Also post Amperages on +3.3v, +12v and +5v Rails (label on psu). It's a lot easier to see a problem when it's summarised, your website's very nice, but there's far too much info to wade thru. Edited Highlights please! Then we can check back on the info on your website!
One thing that does jump out when looking at your BIOS settings, you seem to have APIC disabled (don't confuse this with ACPI). This may mean that your VGA card is sharing an IRQ with another device, which is not ideal.
You might also like to check the capacitors on your MoBo just to make sure none are "bloated" and leaking.
