Two of our systems are LHi boards with zero issues to report other than we cannot lay back to tape properly yet. Though the new drivers released today promise to address that problem, we haven't had a chance to download and test yet.

New ipad USB drivers for pc running on win7

Error message when downloading USB drivers for new iPad for win 7 (64 bits)

My husband's laptop which is at least 3 years older than mine has not problem with charging or recognizing my IPAD. So I don't think the USB ports have anything to do with this problem. What I see is that the PC wants to load MTP USB driver which fails. I have the Apple Mobile Device driver installed and activated. My computer does not see the IPAD but Itunes does. How do get the PC to recognize the apple mobile device driver before it tries to download the MTP USB driver? I am going to try the last suggestion from Diavonex to see if it will work. This is sounding more and more like a Windows problem. BTW both my and my husband's laptops are Dell so I might try looking there also. Wish I had an answer.

New Epson printer drivers for OS X 10.6.1

Apple posted new drivers for SL 10.6.1, has anyone tried them yet to see if they help with SP2200 printing issues?
Download link here

True.
Here's the process I went through to check out results from the Gutenprint driver on my system (SR Macbook 10.6.1).
1) LR 2.4, Epson driver: I made a print with the old Epson driver, color managed by printer (you'll see why later), settings appropriate for Premium Glossy paper (what I printed on). RESULT - the icky green, contrasty image others have reported
2) Updated LR to 2.5, Epson driver, everything else the same. RESULT: slightly warmer image but still icky green/contrasty
3) Updated driver to Apple supplied Gutenprint linked to in my OP. Configured driver settings to appropriate to Premium Glossy paper. RESULT: very acceptable result, with further tweaking I could get it dead on.
Note that the settings in the printer's dialog box with Gutenprint are quite different than the Epson driver. There is NO ability to turn off color management there. Click the Layout pull-down menu and choose "Printer Features" to make settings appropriate to your paper and then save them as a preset.

Will there be new Audigy 2 Drivers for XP64? Or N

Will there be new drivers for XP64 and the Audigy 2? I FINALLY found why my Audigy 2 gives no sound in the center or rear channels. I have more than 2 GT of RAM. In my case I have 4G of ram and the I/O space used by the Audigy is mapped above the 2.8 GB boundary of XP and the drivers do not work. If I do a /maxmem=4096 in my boot.ini, everything works as it should.
So I know this has n=been reported for the XFi, and a fix will come, but will a fix come for the Audigy?
Thankws

I also have the problem with Pinnacle PCTV/Audigy 2, reported by numerous users both in SB and Pinnacle forums. (The problem in short, is that if Timeshifting is enabled in PCTV Vision, the line-in is muted when recording, resulting in silent recordings. Effecti'vely, this means the timeshifting feature does not work with Audigy 2) I have an on-going support case with Pinnacle, but they do not seem to acknowledge the problem; they just go on about updating drivers and re-installing the software. Clearly, the problem is a quirk with Audigy 2 that PCTV does not handle. So who to blame? To add to my frustration, I discovered that my Audigy 2 is a Dell OEM version, so even if Creative were to fix this, I would have to wait for a Dell specific version of the driver. Sorry for all the negativism, but I needed to vent...
On the positi've side, I did discover a work-around that actually seems to work. I can enable the integrated sound on the mother board, connect the PCTV card to the integrated line-in and the head phone jack to the Audigy 2 line-in. Then configure PCTV to record sound from the integrated sound. This is not ideal, but again, it works

New updated ATI drivers for MBP

Hi!
I would like to know where I could find new drivers for the ATI chip? When I play Half Life 2 the system asks for updated drivers, but when I look around at www.ati.com/drivers I can´t find any drivers that fit my system....
They have a support site for ATI Mobility Radeon, but they don´t support Apple..
Does anyone know how to find the latest drivers?
MacBook Pro 15 2,16Ghz Windows XP

If you want a tiny bit better preformance, though more for the fact of better stability and the possibility to overclock it to the 'proper' clocks, i suggest the omega drivers. www.omegadrivers.net - simple, and easy to install. They are the latest catalysts also from when i last checked. They also wont give you a hassle if you overclock teh card, unlike teh apple ati ones
good luck!

New Intel HD4400 drivers for Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro?

Intel has new drivers for the HD4400 graphics chipset that's supposed to fix a bunch of issues and that's downloadable from Intel's website. Intel's update utility identifies the drivers as compatible with Yoga 2 Pro, but when attempting to install the installer aborts itself and tells the user to acquire the drivers from the "manufacturer", i.e. Lenovo.
When I check on the Lenovo site, however, there are only drivers dated October 2013.
In graphics driver age that's ancient.
So when is Lenovo allowing its Yoga 2 Pro users to update their HD4400 drivers, which in Oct 2013 were rather broken?
I'm talking about inadequate resolution scaling for the Yoga 2 Pro's high-res screen in some games, for instance, which is a pretty big issue to left unfixed. Meanwhile the Intel Update Manager that came with the Yoga 2 Pro's software bundle cannot, as of May 2014, even connect itself to the net to check for updates for whatever reason.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I was messing around with the power saving features with the Intel Software.
Y2P (Power profile is my own doing)
-CPU @ .7Ghz
-Brightness @ one button press below 50% on the slider bar
-CPU utilization 0-1%
-Keyboard led off
-Wifi on
Panel Self refresh off
Extended battery life for gaming off
Display power saving off
= 5,600 mWh
Panel Self refresh on
Extended battery life for gaming on
Display power saving on (slider to max battery)
= 4,600 mWh
I didn't get any screen flicker but I only had it on those settings for 10 or 15 minutes
As I am typing this post with one tab in Firefox open it is running at 6,600 mWh. Windows reporting 4:22 Hr and 52% battery remaining.

New Windows laptop recommendations for CS6

Hi,
I need some recommendations on new laptop that can run Web and Design Premium CS6, and some places where I could purchase or get it custom made. I mainly use InDesign, Photshop, Illustrator, and some Dreamweaver. I like fast computers. I need a laptop for mobility. I will have an external monitor at one location I use it at. I need a Windows computer because of some other programs our workplace uses are only available on the PC. I also do some audio editing of voice files, not music. Price is not the deciding factor. It is getting the best running computer I can get that will last me several years, that does what I need with out being overkill. I was looking at Origin-PC and also ADK Video Editing and @Xi, the latter two are focused more on video editing, which I am not going to be doing on this computer. Any other recommendations of places to buy from, and what specs I should look for...like if you were going to build a laptop that could run all those programs well, and last, what would you put in it if price wasn't a factor?

John Nack has put this guide together.

New proprietary Database drivers for Crystal Reports

I have been working recently with a software group that is developing a new, proprietary DBMS. They would like the DBMS to be accessible by Crystal Reports for simple, end-user report creation.
Can you advise where/how we can get started to create adequate ODBC / JDBC / ADO.NET drivers to interface with Crystal Reports?

Hi Athmaram
As the error message clearly mentioned that there is issue with the syntax or access violation, can you paste the stored procedure in the post so that we could check with the syntax?
Please let us know the following information:
1) Exact version of Oracle and the connectivity type(ODBC,OLEDB or Native).
2) Does the user who is creating the report has appropriate rights at the database level?
3) Is the Stored Procedure working fine at the database level?
Thanks

New Features and Improvements for CS6

IMPORTANT:
By default, Photoshop comes with the Proofing Colors (Cmd/Ctrl+Y) activated and set to CMYK. Adobe must warn about that, because I was editing a large amount of pictures for work and I was doing it under that color profile/work space.
LAYERS PANEL:
Layer Adjustments:
Solid Color: visual feedback in real time.
Gradient: IDEM as above.
Pattern: IDEM as above.
Gradient Map: IDEM as above.
Gradient Editor: IDEM as above.
Opacity and Fill: IDEM as above.
Curves and Levels: Ability to load alfa channels. This way, the adjustments made on the alfa channel won't be destructive.
CHANNELS PANEL:
Channel Luminosity Selection:
Ability to add and subtract from the selection.
Ability to designate an area to be selected.
For point 1, by using the shortcut Cmd+Alt+[number] the luminosity of a channel is loaded as selection. With Cmd+Alt+Shift+[number], the selection grows. But there is no way to subtract from selection (unless by clicking with the mouse on the channel's thumbnail). I think that can be solved by using Cmd+Alt+Shift+[- or +] in order to subtract or add from selection.
Point 2 maybe even more important than point 1, because it allows selecting a designated area by the user, instead of the default luminosity selection, which ranges from 50% of the mid tones to the highlights (or shadows, if the selection is inverted). The user should be allowed to select the starting and finishing points of the luminosity selection.
I thought 2 ways for solving these issues (and making it more intuitive and faster):
A) By using the Histogram Panel, by dragging and highlighting an area on it, that it should load the selected luminosity pixels as a selection, as shown in figure 1:
figure 1
So the result of doing that will be a selection based on the area of the histogram that have been highlighted.
B) By creating a new Adjustment Layer:
It can be based in the same structure of the HUE Adjustment Layer, like figure 2 shows:
Figure 2
Or it can be this way (much better). Figure 3:
Figure 3
The selection can also be controlled by using the Click and Drag as suggested in the figure 1, as shown in the figure 4:
Figure 4
The overlaid highlighting over the histogram can be functional or just a mere graphic representation of the Range and Fade Selector. The "Fading" areas should be also be draggable in order to increase smooth the selection. However, the smoothing can be much better done with the Refining Selection tool and it can be ignored from this new tool.
In any of these cases, the adjustments should give real time feedback when growing or shrinking selection; we must see the selection going bigger or smaller and also, the highlighted area should be draggable as well.
TOOLS PANEL:
Brush: detect edges while painting on masks (for manual mask refining. It would work similar to the Replace Color Brush, but only for masks and alfa channels). It also needs a shortcut to set the opacity.
Dodge & Burn: Protect Tones should be allowed when painting on masks or alfa channels (for manual mask refining). D&B can also use edge detection as well.
FILTERS:
Some of them, like the ones involving Blur or the High-Pass and the Unsharp Mask filter, should work in real time (these ones, at the least).
It can also added a Particle Generator Filter.
It would be really nice having the ability to create particles such as dust, fog, rain, snow, etc in a more realistic manner than just the scattering function from the Brush Palette, or by mixing different filters with different blends. The Particle Generator should have an slider to control the depth of field, so it will give a feeling of depth and also, a way to load masks, so that way, the particles can exists before the image and also, behind. It would be great for creating a nice feeling of depth (kind of a bokeh effect).
I've been playing with After Effect few times, and the way to create shapes and forms from nothing is the way of easier than in Photoshop.
TIME LINE:
I think it's time give dynamism the filters applied to a movie clip, and also, dynamics to the fade effects, like it happens in After Effects by adding Bezier Curves.
HISTOGRAM:
It should be possible to zoom in into the histogram, for a more precise feedback and analysis of the image tonal values.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES:
The fade tool should work in real time.
Loupe/Magnificator View:
This is very useful when it comes to edit and image in detail, with a lot of zoom, like 3200%. Unfortunately, Photoshop doesn't provide a real time feedback in an additional window, such as the Window/Arrange/New Window For […].
It would be really useful having a window showing the image at fit on the screen while working on the other window at 100% or 3200% of zoom, but in real time. This way, you can see if you're doing a good job on the pixels or, if you're overdoing it.
It happens that, when working with big images at 100% of the image size (or more), the brain cannot figure out how is looking the whole image, so having a realtime feedback in the other window would help a lot for detailled work.
And why not, ading the same real time structure descrived above but to the Navigator, for faster and lighter use of the hardware capabilities. Probably, adding a check box to the navigator that blocks it to a given zoom, so when zooming into the image in the navigator, the image shown in the window isn't magnified too.
Give me a chance to show you some examples of what I have done by improvising particles and fog about 5 years ago:
http://mart1980.deviantart.com/gallery/5027033#/d1m119x
And what I did 7 years ago by manually, selecting different shades of gray and using just Levels for 8 hours (which coule be done faster and easier with another tool I thought, which I will post later):
I cannot post examples of the other features I'm suggesting because there are not such new features yet (I would have to create an hipothetical enviroment, but I think, you can fiure it out in your mind).
Unfortunately, I don't know programing, even though, I tried something with Filter Factory, achieving good results, but that pluging consumes too much resources and/or is bad designed/have not the right tools for certain things.
Hope this post is enough worthy of the Adobe's attention.
Thanks,
Ø³

This is a poorly explained reason about why is so important having a loupe in Photoshop. I've not also, used the best example, but I will. This belongs to the ADDITIONAL FEATURES: Loupe/Magnificator View:. Also, I will try to make my english clrearer, but here it goes:

New RME Fireface800 drivers for SnowLeopard

Trouble with RME drivers on Snow Leopard?
Try this:
http://www.rme-audio.de/download/firefacex86265.zip

Quite honestly, I would just ignore them.
If you're absolutely certain that the files left behind by the uninstaller are for the Tascam interfaces alone, and nothing else, then you could drag them to the trash. But unless you have issues with the RME and you suspect the left over Tascam files to be the issue, i wouldn't worry about it.
You shouldn't need to change anything in Logic apart from your Audio prefs (and any I/O labels if you used them and are changing your assigned inputs/outputs).
(Oh, and RME drivers are the best in the business IMHO - absolutely rock solid).

New Video Editing Laptop for CS6

Hi there,
Have been doing a ton of reading on different forums and everyone has come to similar conclusions that this is about as hard as it gets, but seeing as I will be moving around a lot in the next year and my organization has agreed to pay $2500ish for one here we are...
I was hoping to get your thoughts on the configuartion below. I am not a fan of Lenovo but this what a shop I was working with reccomended. You'll notice they make a couple of modifacation from what Lenovo gives them. My other big question is about these quattro video cards. I heard they work with the mecury playback engine for amazing results, but that other graphic cards can be unlocked and work just as well. I feel that if I opened it up to other graphics cards I would have more chocies from other companies.

In reply to the question about the Quadro GPU in comparrison to other nVidia cards. A useful table available on the nVidia website shows the specs of Quadro Mobile cards. If you compare the K2000M specs with the specs of the GTX660M, which is a mid to high end Kepler GTX card you will notice they are very similar except the 660M uses faster DDR5 memory and has a considerably better memory transer rate (28.8GB/s as compared to 64GB/s) perhaps only thanks to the faster memory since the momory interface is 128-bit in both cases. Oh also the Quadro cards will give 10-bit output compared to the GTX's 8-bit, which is only useful if you were going to plug a 10-bit external display into the machine.
Personally, if Lenovo had a higher end Kepler Quadro or a Kepler GTX card available I would have been more inclined towards them as a candidate for my own imminent purchase.
Inspite of saying that, you will find the two top laptops on the PPBM5 table are infact Quadro cards (not even Keplar) and they are in a Lenovo laptop. I suspect that the 'hobbling' or de-tuning that nVidia does to the mobile cards (compare the GTX660M to the GTX660) so they will run more comfortably in a laptop is much less for Quadro compared to the GTX cards.
I am not an expert and only reply in a sincere attempt to guide you to information available from nVidia and add my perspective. Others may like to comment...
Goodluck
Peter.

What are the new pricing and fees for Cs6?

What will I be forced to pay to keep upgrading my Master Collection to the next version (Cs 6)? Can I still purchase Dvd's and install the software on my own computer or will I be forced to move to the non-safe cloud? Where my hardwork can be hacked and stolen! The cloud is worthless to many of us wishing to keep control over copyright and useage rights.I am guessing more people want to keep it the way it is and not shift control over to a hackable cloud. Nothing on the web is safe, so why shift everything over to the cloud and force many of your long time customers to pay monthly fees or the software locks us out. For over 25 years I have bought and paided for Adobe software, where is my monthly kickback for using your software? If this is the wave of the future I guess i have bought my last upgrade!

I think you misunderstand the cloud.
Nobody is going to force you to store your files there. It’s a part of the service that you can use or not use at your own discretion.
As for pricing, if you’re on CS5 or CS5.5 you will be able to buy an upgrade at reduced pricing and continue that route. If you’re on CS4 or earlier you’ll have three choices.
1.       Pay full price for CS5
2.       Move to Creative Cloud for whatever the subscription price is
3.       Stay with what you have.
Hope that helps,
Bob

CS6 - no external monitoring of Program with AJA Kona

I guess this is still unsupported by AJA, since they don't have the Adobe AJA plugs updated for CS6 on their site as of an hour ago.
BUT... I copied the AJA folder from my Library>ApplicationSupport>Adobe>Plug-ins>Common>MediaCore>CS5.5 folder into the one for CS6.
AJA shows up in the Preferences>Playback>Default Player option. I can get full-screen external monitoring through the Kona in the Source window, and also with the Hover Scrub. Just nothing in the Program, which means I can't get CUDA external full-screen playback... yet.
So... has anybody figured a workaround to get playback on a Kona with Pr CS6?
Mac 10.6.8, latest drivers, etc. Kona LHi

Well, at this point, the driver for Kona is available, and the bad, bad, news is that it's indeed Lion only.
This is the ONLY reason I have for upgrading to Lion. Every other piece of software I own is running just fine on 10.6.8. This includes Media Composer 6.
I've got a test partition on which I have Lion installed, and it's a freaking nightmare. I've spent almost three days reinstalling software, drivers, plug-ins, with days to go before I get it all done (I have over 5000 fonts, 3/4 of which weren't recognized by FontExplorerX, forcing me to reinstall and recategorize them.).
This is the most painful "upgrade" in my history with Mac, which goes back to System 4 or 5.
I HATE the new auto-correct feature, the security measures that think I'm not an Admin when I am, and the fact it just seems a lot slower than Snow Leopard. Two of the Zaxwerks plugs for Ae are a hundred times slower.
I'm starting to hate Apple. And I'm going to start hating AJA too, if they don't come up with an Adobe driver for 10.6.8.
Sorry, I'm venting. The last three days have been hell.
