Need Help! First tim
This is my first time getting a PCI sound card, because I was very curious how different the quality would be.
I saw an ad on a site marked "X-Fi sound card", and I got it for $80. They knew nothing about it, it was their son's, so I had to do research on which one it was beacause there was no box or driver CD. After seeing all the pictures I could, I'm guessing its the SB X-Fi Fataity XtremeGamer, because its big, black, and has the little black X-Fi box on the corner. (I'll post up pictures upon request to make sure with you guys)
I had to find the drivers for it, so I did...but it wasnt the "Xtreme" version, because there were none on that page, just Applications. So I got the regular Fataity ones, thinking it was the same - well, they work. (Is there anywhere I can find the XtremeGamer ones?)
I install the card, download the drivers, reboot to disable my onboard, and my speakers are working, but my Microphone isn't.
Did I have to download anything else to get it working? I only downloaded the drivers from the download site. I only have the "Audio Console".
Also...is that little red light on the card normal? Is it a warning?
Please help! Thanks!

This is my first time here too, and I was just reading your message and thought I could help...
With the Creative?Software AutoUpdate Downloading System, I don't think you need to know what kind of card it is to get started. In order to find it, all you need to do is to?go to Creative's homepage and click on the Support tab and then choose, "[url="http://us.creative.com/support/downloads/softwareupdate.asp?nSUFlag=&sDestUrl=http://us.creative.com/support/downloads/&hdAllProduct=&LangID=033&hdDspLangID=033">Softwar e AutoUpdate[/url]". It will then inspect your computer to see which Creative product(s) is (are) plugged in and then it will give you a list of drivers and a list of application software that you need to download. It will also tell you what the name of your soundcard is.
After you have made your downloads, now that you will have the name of your soundcard, go back to the Support tab and this time, choose [url="http://us.creative.com/support/downloads/">Downloads[/url] and check to see if there is anything that hasn't been downloaded. I just did mine a few minutes ago, and found that there?was one download that didn't get downloaded under the AutoUpdate process.
How do you know what downloads you have already made? By default, the downloads are downloaded to the folder at C:\Program Files\Creative\Software Update\cache. The names of the folders will be the same as the names of the downloads on the Creative website. My advice is that you install all of the application software as well as the drivers. I know some people who didn't want to bother, so they just installed the driver and then quit at that. The driver just makes the soundcard work, but the application software is what makes it functional with all the "goodies" that makes it what you pay for. They have a graphic equalizer, a Karaoke function, a speed-up or slow-down function, a media player, and many others (and yes, you can even play a song backwards!)?but you don't get these programs unless you install the applications too.
When you are finished with your installations, you can go back to the homepage and this time, click on the Product tab and choose "[url="http://us.creative.com/products/_featured.html">SoundBlaster[/url]", and then click on the name of your product to see what it cost when it was new and what was supposed to come with it. This page will give you all the technical information and advertising?about your soundcard. If you did get the X-fi Fatalty, then you should also have gotten a control console and a remote control along with the soundcard, so I hope you got everything for your money.
I hope this hel

Newbie needs help - First time using Premier Pro 5.5.2
I have Premier Pro CS 5.5.2 install on iMac 2011 with Lion 10.7.3. I imported an AVCHD clip from a SDHC card using a usb card reader. The clips were really choppy and pixelated. The clip was shorted in 1920 x 1080 HA. I have been reading from the Adobe site and their Videos. I should have no problem importing AVCHD into Premier Pro. Do I need 3rd party conversion software to convert the clip to Quicktime or what specific settings should I be using? Any suggestion would be appreciated.
With so many features that cannot be disabled, Premiere Pro requires significantly more horsepower than that iMac can deliver. FCP X also requires a decent amount of system horsepower as well. iMovie doesn't require much due to its relative lack of features.
And as I stated a few times, the iMacs are designed for convenience/looks first, low power consumption second, performance third. In fact, although they use desktop CPUs, the 2011 lineup uses mostly reduced-power versions of the i5 and i7 CPUs (in this case, the "S" variant of these CPUs with their lower 65W TDP instead of the normal 95W TDP). And their minuscule interior space meant laptop-class GPUs instead of desktop-class GPUs. In the end, you'd end up with a very large system that performs no faster than a decent laptop (in fact, the laptop HD 6770M is slower than the desktop HD 6770 (which is in reality a tweaked HD 5770) in games). Worse, unless you can find a Thunderbolt external hard drive for that iMac, you're effectively stuck with a single physical hard drive for absolutely everything, especially since both Firewire 800 and USB 2.0 (the other ports available on the iMac) are much, much slower than SATA. -

See if you can find them in your PC, likely somewhere in 'MyDocuments'. If they are there (e.g., a prior backup version) you can probably put them somewhere that can be found by iTunes. Otherwise ...

need help. Before I set up my I-pad i need to regain access to my I-Tunes account, easy enough. The problem is I cannot re-set password. I have tried to re-set and send to my designated email but it does not work. How can i get someone from Apple on the phone to help?
Have you forgotten your password? - if so, you have a problem if the email address has gone dead.
If you know your password, go to the iTunes Store, click on Account. log in and you can change the associated email address.
If you don't know your password, and have no email address, you are going to have problems because it's difficult to see how Apple are going to identify you as the authorised owner of the account. Contact iTunes Support: go to http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ - click on 'Other iTunes Store Features' in the list and then on 'Podcasts'. You will see a link to either 'Express Lane', which will guide you eventually to some contact options, or you may see a link to email them. -
I need some help. first time mac user.
I have an airport express unit that I want to set up through a laptop using windows xp, and I want to be able to connect to the internet wirelessly through my new macbook pro. Please help me.
Hello
Try This:
1. Download Airport Setup for Windows and Install (v5.3.1.9)
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/airportutility531forwindows.html
2. Connect your DSL or cable modem to the Ethernet port on your AirPort Express.
3. Open AirPort Utility, select your AirPort Express, and click Continue.
4. Follow the on screen directions
5. If you have a cable modem which is also used for a phone line, you might have a problem with the cable modem assigning a valid DHCP number. This happened to me and unplugging the modem does no good because it has a battery. If this is your case, you will have to unplug the cable modem and remove the battery, then replace the battery, hook back to the Airport express and plug back in.
6. If none of these things help, then post back and I'll see if I can help you figure it out.

Any ideas
Leave the iPhone alone for a minute and go to your PC/Mac. Try and set up the Apple ID on there (again leaving the iPhone to sit and look pretty for a while). Check your emails (not on the iPhone) and see if you are receiving the email into your inbox that way, if you aren't make sure you have put the correct email address in the App store. If you are definitley sure you are putting the correct email address in go to the web interface for your email provider (e.g. hotmail or yahoo) and check the junk mail folders etc.
Do all the above whilst the iPhone is sat around, don't do any of the above on the iPhone. If you manage to crack it and get the email address verified and your account up and running just log in to the App Store on your iPhone once it's all done -
Hello, I am new to this forum and this is my first post. Currently I have a Macbook pro and it is really the only computer in my house I use. My Mom has a Macbook, My dad has a Apple Desktop and my brother a toshiba laptop.
I am running OS X 10.5.8 on my macbook pro, Snow Leopard on the other.
Tonight I got the time capsule, and I am really excited to get this working. To give a little background, I have FiOS and our modem is in the basement which runs directly to a verizon wireless router, MI424WR to be exact. I have a few questions about how to set it up because I tried to set it up like they said but when I plugged the Time Capsule into the Fios router and turned it on all I got on the Capsule was the blinking amber light. I ran an ethernet cord from one of the opened LAN ports on the router to the WAN port on the Capsule. I installed the Airport utility on my macbook and my dads desktop but still do not get any type of connection to the capsule. I am reading about bridging so I tried to do the manual set up in the Airport utility it just scanned and got nothing and I cannot even hit manual setup. My questions are..
How exactly do I set up the Time Capsule, as I described it does it sound like I have everything plugged in correctly?
Is it possible to completely get rid of the verizon router?
How do I get any of my computers to pick up the time capsule?
If you have any questions as to how I explained please just ask. I am really trying to get this set up because I do not want my dad to think he wasted 350 dollars on something that is completely useless for our home setup. Any help would be greatly appreciated. THANK YOU, Zach.No matter what, even when the TC is plugged into my MBP with an ethernet cable it does not read it.
Disconnect any ethernet cables that you connected to the Time Capsule at the moment
Hold in the reset button on the back until the amber light begins to blink more quickly and continue holding the button another 4-5 seconds when this occurs. Then release the reset button.
Connect an ethernet cable from one of the available LAN <-> ports on the Verizon router to the WAN (circle of dots icon) port on the Time Capsule.
You have two ways to configure the Time Capsule using either wireless or ethernet.
To use wireless, click on the fan shaped Airport icon at the top of the computer screen and look for a wireless network with a name like Apple Network xxxxxx. Log on to that network first, then open AirPort Utility.
To use ethernet, temporarily connect an ethernet cable from your Mac to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule. Open AirPort Utility.
When you open AirPort Utility, click Continue to follow the guided setup. You did not indicate whether you want to Time Capsule to provide a wireless network, but most users want that option. So, you when asked how you want to configure the Time Capsule, you would choose the "Create a new wireless network" option.
As the Jolly Giant says, you will need to choose Bridge Mode when you see a choice of how to connect in the setup process. If you are an experienced computer user, you may want to configure the Time Capsule manually, but I would not recommend that you do this unless you know exactly what you are doing.
My next step is to call verizon and say they need to get out here and fix this ** or I will be going back to comcast.
Verizon has nothing to do with the Time Capsule problems that you have encountered. Blaming them will accomplish nothing. -
Need help understanding Time Capsule file structure and how to get it back
I have the original Time Capsule on which I backup both my Mac Pro and my wife’s Macbook. When Snow Leopard came out, I successfully used the ‘Restore from Time Machine’ feature on my Mac Pro so I know it has worked. However, my wife’s MacBook harddrive died the other day and I was trying to do the ‘Restore from Time Machine’ and all it would find was a backup from April (when I put her in a new larger drive). Time Machine would not find any backup files newer that April. She stated that she had seen the the Time Machine backup notices regularly and as recent as the day the haddrive died (Nov. 23) so I figured that I should have no problem. Here is what I have found in my trouble shooting and what leads to my questions below.
This is the file structure I found: (note that our ID’s are ‘Denise’ and ‘John’)
*Time Capsule* (the drive as listed in my Finder window sidebar under ‘shared’)
>Folder called ‘Time Capsule’ (when logged in as either ‘Denise’ or ‘John’)
>>Denise Sparsebundle
>>>Backup of Denise’s iBook (mounted image)
>>>>Folder called ‘Backups.backupdb’
>>>>>Folder called ‘Denise’s iBook
>>>>>>Single folder with old April backup (not the right files)
>>John Sparsebundle
>>>Backup of John’s Mac Pro (mounted image)
>>>>Folder called ‘Backups.backupdb’
>>>>>Folder called ‘John’s Mac Pro’
>>>>>>Folders containing all my backup files
>Folder Called ‘Denise’ (if logged as ‘Denise’)
>>Denise’s Sparsebundle (a disk image)
>>>Backup of Denise iBook (the mounted image. Name from old machine)
>>>>Backups.Backupdb
>>>>>Denise’s iBook (Contains the backup I need)
>Folder Called ‘John’ (if logged in as ‘John’)
>> (empty)
For some reason, my wife’s backup files are stored within a folder located at the top level of the Time Capsule drive called ‘Denise’, however, mine are within a folder called ‘Time Capsule’ which is at the same level as the ‘Denise’ folder.
For some reason, when trying to use Time Machine to recover, it bypasses the top level ‘Denise’ folder which contains the correct files and goes into the ‘Time Capsule’ folder and finds the outdated backup files.
I would assume that both my backup files and my wife’s should be at the same level of the Time Capsule.
I was eventually able to use Migration Assistant to recover the files after installing a fresh OS and mounting the correct Sparsebundle image.
So, my question, how do I get this fixed so that if I have to recover a drive with Time Capsule, it will find the correct files.
Sorry for the long post and thanks in advance for any help.John Ormsby wrote:
What I was trying to determine is why different backups for one particular machine are located at different file structure levels on my Time Capsule and why the most resent one for that machine is at a different level that for my other machine. Also, what is the correct level that both machines backups should be at.
well John, first can you clarify if you are on 10.4.8 as your profile suggests ? if so, i'm wondering how you can use TM at all because TM was introduced with Leo. if you're not on 10.4.8, please update your profile. if you could, please also indicate details of your machine such as available RAM, processor, etc.
second, what OS is your wife's machine running ?
third, i frankly don't know too much about TM's file structure or if there indeed is such a thing as the correct one. however, i do know that it is best to leave TM to do its thing (as long as it's working). FWIW, though off-topic, you may want to have a look at this read for further information.
last but not least, i see TM backups to my TC only as a part of my backup strategy. the backbone of my strategy is to create bootable clone of my startup disk(s) using e.g. Carbon Copy Cloner on a regular basis. while TM is capable of doing a full system restore, i don't trust it as much as a working clone. i use TM to retrieve a file i accidentally trashed a week ago but you cannot boot from a TM backup if your startup disk goes belly up.
If I have missed this information in either the FAQs or the Troubleshooting article, I would greatly appreciate being pointed to it .
i expect you didn't miss anything and i'm sorry you didn't find any help there. perhaps if Pondini (author of the FAQ and troubleshooting user tips) reads this thread, you will get the necessary advice on the file structure and more besides.
good luck to you ! -
Need help big time with pop-up window!
This is probably an easy answer, I'm not a programmer or a back end guy whatsoever, I'm a graphic designer trying to make his way through a project for a client.
I'm working up a Flash template, and I need to make a simple pop up window that will view a more detailed version of an image. The template has a pop up window system where you add your photo to a certain frame of a movie clip. The problem is, the pop ups have scroll bars built in, and for the life of me I couldn't figure out how to get rid of them, so I duplicated one of the movie clips that looked like it housed the framework of the pop up and deleted the scroll bar (I didn't delete any of the scroll bar code because I had no idea what I was doing). It actually kind of worked, but the pop up window is a bit too wide and doesn't look right.
You can view my hack job here...
http://truetilldeathhq.com/main8_v7/main8_v7.html
Stay on the "Print" page and click the first "01" button and an ad for Ford will come up. Click the "Detailed View" button in the description to see the pop up window.
My question is, there MUST be an easier way to make a pop up window than the workaround I'm using with the template. What I'm trying to do is have a pop up for each sample of the work (all images would be the same size) for the first four buttons, and then for the "Online Banners" page, have the pop up open up to the dimensions of the particular banner ad and play the swf. The pop ups shouldn't have scroll bars, only a title and the button to close the window.
To view the template files, you can download them at:
http://truetilldeathhq.com/main8_v7/main8_v7.fla
The "descripton" movie clips have the descriptions and the "Detailed View" links in the frames, and the movie clips I not so gracefully butchered to get the pop up to work were TM_page_content_scroll (where you're supposed to put an image in a certain frame and then put the # of that frame in the Actionscript of the "Detailed View" button), and the TM_main_cont_page2 and TM_pop_up_main3, which were the ones I duplicated.
If ANYONE can offer even the slightest bit of help, I gratefully appreciate it. I've been working on this thing for like 15 hours a day and I can't even think straight at this point, thanks!I admit to not having read everything you wrote... there's just too much of it. But...
Hashtable (and HashMap, which you should really be using unless you have some external constraint requiring the use of Hashtable) map each key to a single value object.
That is, you can map from the key string "4996" to one single other object. And then you can also map from a different key to a different object.
In you put() method, you add a mapping from "4996" to "good", and then you replace that mapping with one from "4996" to "home". There is only ever one value associated with a given key.
To map multiple values to a single key, you need the value object to be a collection of some kind (or an array). So, you could map your string "4996" to a List, and that list could contain the strings "good", "home", etc. -
Java noob needing help - First applet won't compile
I'm trying to make a simple audio player applet for a web page. The basic way it works is: There are four buttons Play 1, Play 2, Play 3 and Stop, as well as a label for applet credits, a label for music credits and a label for the applet's current status.

Need help Using Time Capsule As Media Server
New time capsule owner was wondering if someone could help me set it where i can put all my digital media, Itunes, Dvd-rips on to the TC and use it as a Media Server.

I wrote a few days ago about this and was told that gathering
information from a form using Post as the method and having the
results emailed to someone wasn't a good idea and that it didn't
work very well. People basically told me to investigate scripting
or hiring someone, or use a pay service like MailChimp. None of
these are options for me right now, I absolutely have to get this
site done tonight and the person I'm doing it for will not pay for
a service.
The client wants to have a form on his site to collect email
addresses so he can compile them into a mailing list to send out
infrequent emails notifying people of upcoming events he's putting
on. He's a local artist with a very modest following, nothing big
time. I have no idea about databasing or MySql, and the person
doesn't want to pay for a service, so basically I'm stuck doing it
the "unreliable" way.
Can someone walk me through how to do this in Dreamweaver? I
assume I add a form field, and put a text field and submit button
inside of it. Here's my questions, to get this to work and use the
mailto: thing, what do I put for...
Form Field: Name, Action, Method, Target, Enctype
Text Field: Name
Button: Type, Name, ID, Value
Any help would be greatly appreciated by one stressed out,
hack web designer, thanks!If this client doesn't want to pay for a service then tell
him the best
you can do is gather INDIVIDUAL emails from his site and have
them
emailed to their email address. Then it's up to them to mail
out to
their modest following INDIVIDUALLY.
Basically you put a form on the site to collect the email
address of the
user. Like this:
<form name="emailForm" method="post"
action="formmail.php">
<p><label for="email">Enter email
address</label><br>
<input type="text" id="email" name="email"> </p>
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
</form>
You would then need to send the submitted form to a formmail
script
which will then send it on to the clients email address.
A free script named Formmail does exist if you search for it
in google
under Free formmail script
You would need to alter the script as per the instructions
which should
come with it and then upload it to your cgi-bin assuming you
have one on
your server.
You then point the form at the script by filling in the
action attribute
like:
<form name="emailForm" method="post"
action="
http://www.yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/formmail.cgi">
I no longer use formmail because it can be a bit of an issue
to set up
for beginners.
I now tend to use server side scripting like php to gather
the
information. IF you have php running on your server then
NateMail is
FREE and very very simple script to set up. It comes with
clear pdf
instructions that will do the job in about 10-15mins.

If you activated Find My Mac before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if it is connected to the Internet by Wi-Fi. What you cannot do is track your computer using a serial number or other identifying number. You cannot expect Apple or anyone else to find your computer for you. You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty. Be sure to report the loss or theft to the local police. Have the serial number handy. If your Mac is found it cannot be returned to you if you don’t have the serial number and proof of purchase.
Find My Mac can be used from Find My Phone at iCloud.com and via Find My Phone on your iDevice.
The following is third-party anti-theft software:
1. STEM 2.1
2. MacPhoneHome 3.5
