Need something to replace Nero 7 Ultra
Pretty much straight forward. Nero 7 is starting to show it's age, and as much as I love the suite, it's time to move on to something that supports BluRays.
My Cyberlink disc that came with my LG BR drive is no longer working, so I'm looking for an all encompassing solution for playing BluRay/DVD, burning/copying DVD's, possibly ripping/re-encoding BluRay/DVD movies for backup.
What would you guys suggest? I checked into Nero 9/10 on the Egg site, and it has absoutely horrid reviews(And "egg"ers are pretty accurate most of the time).
My system can handle anything I throw at it, so I think it's time for a more powerful burning/media suite.

Unfortunately, that's the bad luck of any electronic, there's going to be bad Apples... wait that's a horrible pun.
Or I could just acquire them some other way. LOL.
I just tried Cyberlink's newest vesion, I like it, but the video artifacted for a few seconds here and there, though, I was watching Avatar which is a brand new disc, so, who knows.
Also just did a trial of Nero 10. I'm not impressed, the "full" trial does not support BD.

Probably will never ever think of buying a locked phone from AT&T cause its one of the worst system integrations ever that these companies could think of.
The entire problem started when I put in a request with at&t to unlock my iphone 4s (ios7) which did get approved. I performed the entire instructions they asked me to do, which is to backup and restore. After doing those instructions my iphone gave me an error message below
The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported.
The SIM card that you currently installed in this iPhone is from a carrier that is not supported under the activation policy that is currently assigned by the activation server. This is not a hardware issue with the iPhone. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request that this iPhone be unlocked by your carrier. Please contact Apple for more information.
Basically saying that at&t hasn't still unlocked the iphone which a really helpful apple executive was able to confirm. I initiated another unlock process from at&t in order to unlock the iphone, just to be sure that its not something wrong from my end. The nice at&t lady stayed on chat with me to unlock the iphone step my step while I was calling the apple tech too. And the apple tech confirmed again that the iphone is locked to at&t.
Now, just a few minutes ago I tried another restore to see if any progress is being made and to my surprise I got an error message saying
Replacement Needed. This iphone is not able to complete the activation process and needs to be replaced. Please visit your nearest apple store or authorized service center.
I feel like I am just going around these two different "money hogger" companies which set certain rules and regulations to screw a regular phone buyer. I purchased this iphone in USA and trying to unlock in India, is it really this hard to simply unlock a device.
For now I am going to try to call a apple office in india (apprently we don't have very many out here) and see if they can help me. But any other assistance regarding unlocking an iphone 4s would be helpful. I have however, tried checking IMEI.info, called up apple, talked to at&t (which always say go talk to apple) I do have a case number from apple as well in case an apple executive reads this discussion forum (case number: 566383594)
ThanksYou got a confirmation from AT&T that it was authorized. Is this correct? - Yes i did get an email authorization on the 21st.
Then you connected the phone to a computer with the latest version of iTunes installed. You clicked on the phone's name in iTunes, then clicked "Backup Now". - Yes
When that finished you clicked "Restore iPhone" (NOT "Restore Backup") - Yes
Are you with me so far? - Yes.
And @ Varjak is right that after the 3rd restore I get the replacement error.
Plus I have NEVER jailbroken the iPhone. To give you another update, I spoke to a really nice apple tech in India who was atleast able to get me out of the replacement error by doing a recovery mode option. However, the lastest restore still gives me the same error

Older MacPro Tower - Optical Drive needs to be replaced
I have an older MacPro Tower (OS X 10.7.5) and my original optical drive needs to be replaced. I need to read and write CDs and DVDs. I also occasionally need to read and write DVD+R DL (dual layer) media.
Could I use a unit like the Pioneer BDR-209 DBK? Will it work reliably with CD and DVD media? The reason I ask is that as BDR media drops in price, I would like to start using this (due to the higher capacity) for backing up data.
I'm hoping to be able to confirm this unit will work before purchasing it. If there is a better alternative, please let me know. If there is a reason to stay with a traditional CD/DVD writer, then please tell me and recommend a good unit that is reasonable and reliable.
Thank you.here's my 2 cents on this: there should be 2 sata ports on your logic boards. However, getting to them is a pain in the rear. If you want to try that way, by all means do so. However, you can get a Sata to Pata bridge board which attaches to the rear of the Sata drive and lets it be used without having to try to find the sata connectors. That way you can use more modern drives. I bought something from MCE and it worked just fine (it's a blu-ray, btw). Installation was a snap. My original CD/DVD drive failed and I didn't want to mess around trying to find a replacement ATAPI (or PATA) drive. The only real caveats I have to tell you are: If you want to play and view Blu-Ray discs in your MacPro tower, you'll have to buy a 2nd party blu ray player. Same with burning Blu-ray discs. You'll have to buy some kind of upgrade to Toast if that's what you used to burn stuff before. however, if all you want to do is burn standard CD's and DVD's then it'll work just fine. the pioneer may have issues with sleeping, but I can't confirm this for sure either way
just my opinion on this.

I've just installed CS6 creative suite mainly for photoshop CS6. It comes with camera raw 7.0.something, but need something newer to use my canon 6d. When I download camera raw 8.5 and install the raw converter doesnt work anymore, wont even open or isnt available anymore in the plugin list. Tried to reinstall everything for a few times, but nothing helps.
When I search for updates the raw converter doesnt get update automaticly. Frustrating, is costing me the whole morning.

Last night, I was listening to a podcast, and my Mac froze. The mouse would not work, and neither would any of the buttons, but the podcast continued to play as if nothing was wrong. I tried to turn it off and on with the power button, but it did not respond. I had to take out the battery and put it back in.
However, the Mac is no longer starting up. The battery was old, and needed to be replaced soon. Because I have three important exams next week, and I have all of my notes on that device, I was wondering if there was a way to get the Macbook to work again, without taking the time to replace the battery? I've tried plugging it in, but it doesn't seem to charge.
Thanks!Does the unit not run on the charger alone? (take the battery out and plug it in.)

Need Help in Replacement of Function Modules
Hello all,
I am working on Upgrade project from ECC 5.0 to ECC 6.0. I am facing problems for Replacement of two Obsolete Function Modules. Please give me a solution. FM's are as follows.
1) SET_AUTHORITY : This FM is obsolete in ECC 6.0 and there is not alternative FM present in help.sap.com or any other web portal.
2) WS_QUERY : Here as per my knowledge we use class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES and methods FILE_EXIST or DIRECTORY_EXIST as per the parameters in old FM. For parameter 'FS' we use 'FILE_EXIST' and 'DS' we use 'DIRECTORY EXIST'.
But in our program prev. FM has parameter 'OS' i.e. Operating System.
But there is not method called 'OS EXIST' or similar. Please suggest suitable method.
Thanking you all in anticipation.
Best Regards,
HarishHi Harish,
I too could not find any replacement for SET_AUTHORITY
Obsolete Modules can be used in newer versions, but it is not supported by SAP in case of any technical issues.If you still need a replacement, you can replace it by the source code in the FM SET_AUTHORITY itself and modify according to your needs.
Below is the source code of FM SET_AUTHORITY, so you can modify it according to your requirement.

I have a Power PC G4 which is running on OSX 10.5.8, it has the AirPort utility but cannot connect to the internet as my iMac can, I think I might need an AirPort Card? Is that the case or do I need something different to connect to a wireless modem?
Welcome!
Only one variant of the PowerMac G4 could use the faster Airport Extreme Card. The rest used the original Airport card that is pretty slow.
To get fast wireless without buying more than one thing, consider this:
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Edimax/EW7722IN/
It goes in an available PCI slot
There are USB solutions also. However, all PowerMac G4 towers had only slower USB 1.1 ports, so any USB wireless adaptor can only run at about wireless 'B" speeds (slow) unless you also install a PCI USB 2.0 adaptor card. Doing that would allow a USB wireless adaptor to run at its maximum rated speed. These items working together would accomplish that:
USB wireless "dongle:"
Newer Technology MAXPower 802.11n/g/b USB Adapter + Plug and play direct or with extension cradle
USB PCI adaptor:
http://eshop.macsales.com/Search/Search.cfm?Ntk=Primary&Ns=P_Popularity%7c1&Ne=5 000&N=7069&Ntt=USB+PCI
Each approach has its advantages. The PCI wireless card is a one-piece solution that takes up no desk space. The USB2 card+USB2 Dongle gives you more fast ports for transferring date from other external USB devices (primarily cameras and external hard drives) at hugely faster rates than can the original ports. I have a USB 2 PCI card in my G4 tower strictly for transferring images from my digital SLR camera in a timely manner. -

My brand new phone needs to be replaced but i dont want a referbished one
i've had my droid dna for a little under 5 months. it needs to be replaced. i've had nothing but issues with it. ive had the SIM card replaced 3 times now, its been reset and everything and it still has issues dropping calls constantly, won't let me access my apps, or gets a defective sim card sign at the top and i have to shut it off and back on to get it to work again. my problem is, i just got this phone, i dont want to trade for a refurbished one. i didnt pay over 200$ for this plus my upgrade to trade it for a refurbished phone with all their issues. ive never had anything but problems with them. my last phone (a gem) had to be replaced 4 times. i want a new phone. so my question is who do i need to talk to or what do i need to do to get a new one?
They will send you a refurbished one rest assured. Here's how to beat them at their game.
Go to any local Verizon phone store and sign up for $21.05 for GRIP & New Policy. You will get a new phone for the discounted price(any phone that you want). They will take your old phone, must be in good working condition. You don't even have to extend your Verizon Contract. Once you have your new phone you can cancel the GRIP contract or keep it. I would keep the contract, this way you can walk into any Verizon Store and get a new phone anytime you want for the discounted price. (NO EXTENSION ON YOUR CONTRACT). Verizon Stores are independent contractors and will explain all the details to you. -
Acrobat Pro 9 for mac won't launch, reloaded from disk when hard drive needed to be replace. It's in applications folder but there is an X on the Acrobat Reinstall icon. What should I do.
Hi Janice,
What version of Mac OS are you using?
Adobe does not recommend migrating the software from one disk to the other.
Please run the setup file for Acrobat and reinstall the software. You might want to delete the existing version of Acrobat installed before reinstalling it.

Lcd Needs to Be replaced on macbook air 13 mid 2012 model a1466. Is an screen from MBA 13 mid 2011 model a1369 also compatible?
Well that's only a possibility, not likely. I'll stick with Mac as much as I can, which I imagine will mostly be ok. If I have to, I'll use their computers in class and do PC homework assignments from home on my more powerful iMac. The only thing I really thought about before buying it was its portability and the fact that I won't be using it for actual programming jobs after school. This is merely to get me through school.

Error: Ink Needs to be Replaced - HP Officejet 4635
Hello! I've been having some issues with my HP Officejet 4635. I just enrolled with HP Instant Ink and recieved the two cartridges. The black cartridge is the only one working. The printer keeps saying that the color cartridge must be replaced. Before I enrolled with HP Instant Ink, I was using HP genuine cartridges and do use another older HP printer.I have tried *everything* in the help FAQs: wiping the electrical contacts as instructed, restarting the printer by unplugging the power cords, re-inserting the cartridge, etc. So please spare me those instructions again, ugh. I also checked for driver updates and such. I'm going to guess that the electrical contacts in the printer are damaged? The error says the cartridge needs to be replaced. Is there a way to hack or bypass this because the color catridge is brand new. Please help and thank you.
Thanks - I chatted online with HP and that is exactly what they had me try but still had no luck so they seem to think it is a defective cartridge and are sending a new one. I don't think that it is the cartridge but maybe in the compartment where the cartridge goes. Unfortunately it is really hard to get your finger in there to clean. I put in a new hp cartridge yesterday and for the time being it is working. If it happens again I guess I will figure a better way to clean in the unit.
