New Infinity advice please?

Hi,
Looking for hints/advice to ensure I get a smooth install of Infinity please.
Currently I have two lines, one of which is on BeThere ADSL2 which I would keep for a short while after BT Infinity install, then drop.
The other line I would use for BT Infinity and currently it is just a voice line (hired from BT, calls with TalkTalk).
The master socket is in the hallway (traditional setup), with various extensions all round the house. BT checker is indicating 62mb/20mb on Infinity2 for this line.
Main computer is in dining room (no phone extensions) which currently connected to the BeThere hub/router (which in a different room) via 500mb Homeplug and all works just fine. Other computers/Ipods/devices connected via either Homeplugs or WiFi. Occasional IP address conflicts on network, but usually easily resolved.
What would be my ideal setup for BT Infinity?
I'd rather not have a bunch of new cabling, but recognise that I may have to.
I'm thinking the following could be some good setups.
1. Infinity Hub and Router in Hallway by master socket and then data pumped into network via Homeplugs.
Would the Infinity engineer be ok with this, or would he (maybe a she?) insist that main computer is also located by Master Socket?
2. Infinity Hub by Master socket and Router in different room.
Here I imagine that the router is connected to the hub via Homeplug/Ethernet. Again would the engineer be ok with this?
3. Master socket is moved from Hallway to computer room.
This would have the advantage of the hub, router and main computer all being located in the same place. However I'm not clear if this can be done as part of the Infinity install or has to be ordered separately. Also I’m concerned about messy cabling.
What I want to avoid is arranging for things temporarily (e.g. moving computer) on the install date, having the engineer declaring all is ‘OK’ and then later, if there is a problem, for BT to say I’m on my own.
Let’s just say twice bitten in the past by BT/Openreach and three times shy.
Thanks for any help
Edward

Oh, I have plenty of homeplugs and indeed Ethernet cables. My concern is if the engineer says he will not work with the homeplugs when doing the Infinity install.
Sadly I have bitter experiences with BT/Openreach. One time they got me to open a broadband account for purposes of being a Fibre trialist when they should have checked that my faceplate was not compatible. They did compensate me a bit financially (after a great deal of hassle) but I still ended up with losses.
It is a great pity that BT/Openreach still have an effective monopoly on Fibre.
thx
Ed

Buying a new iMac, advice please :)

Hey all,
I will be purchasing my first iMac soon after many years I'm changing from PC's and Microsoft and headin over to iMacs.
I am looking in to buying the 2.7Ghz Intel Core i5 I would be using
Mostly for music and gaming.
I was wondering would I need to increase the ram from 4 to 8GB or would this not be necessary? Also is there any others changes that you think I should make or a better time to buy one? I want to make sure it is the right choice before info ahead and purchase it.
Any advice would be really handy!
Cheers and thanks

New System Build feedback/advice, please...

Time to build a new WorkStation. My motivation for upgrading is that I have been using a mediocore laptop (i7m, 8gb, 250gb ) from my work as my home system for the last 2 years, I am starting to get more freelance coming in and need a good desktop.
I am not so sure about my processor, mother board and video card choice. I am more interested in app usability than absolute throughput and want to maximise my dollar investment.
Purchase date: this week
Budget: I'd like to stay close to $1000-1300, but can spend more for significant performance gains. As I do more research, my inclinations are trending higher.
System Usage: My primary uses will include photo editing with Lightroom and Photoshop, 3D graphics using 3D studio Max, Maya and Mud Box, HD video editing using Premiere and After Affects and Web Design. I will also use it as an HD media player and hifi audio is important. Maximizing cs6 performance in premiere & pShop is my main target. I am focused mainly on user experience while running these apps. If I need to encode hrs of video or crank out frames in max/maya, I can do it at work. I seldom run games.
Monitors: I'm running two Dell U2410's IPS, calibrated w\Color Munki, one portrait one lanscape.
Parts to Upgrade: Full system build
O/S : Win7 Ultimate, I might play with Ubuntu/Virtualization
Vendor: Newegg unless I can save big $$ else where. I like B&H.
It needs to be an Intel machine & I have chosen lga 2011 becuase I'll eventually go to 64gb. I'll do some modest overclocking.
Any advice is appreciated. Thank you for your expertise.

Do you have any feeling about how much I'll gain by going to the 6 core cpu over the 4 core? Remember, for me usability in the cs6 apps is more important than marginal gains in throughput.

I have picked the MSI motherboard due to its support for 128gb ram, superior audio and other high end features. The AS Rock for its rep for solid value/performance. Opinions?
Finally, I would like some advice on video cards. I prefer nVidia to ATI, but I'm not sure which chip to go for. The six fifties are cheaper, but the 660 ti provides more CUDA cores.

Alex,
I sure wish you would quick picking fights with lots of knowledgeable people just trying to help people build good PCs for running Adobe Premiere. (I am stating that based on not just this thread, but rather the strong challenges you seem to bring to about half of the threads that you've chosen to participate in).
I was the original poster to suggest that Neal select a larger case. Next Harm agreed and cited 6 points which I would agree with regarding why a larger box is better for a video editing rig.
What are the typical goals for someone wanting a video editing PC? I would expect that most users want:
- robust, runs and never fails
- has incredible power; face it, video editing with AVCHD is one of the most taxing applications a PC can face today
- quiet; who wants to be doing creative work with any server room like wind noise
Now let me be specific where you are simply WRONG WRONG WRONG:
You stated: "Back pressure increases in larger spaces due to natural impedance of airflow (much like with electricity traveling over distance)"
Fact: Exactly the opposite; Back pressure decreases in larger spaces due to more room for the air to flow (much like thicker copper passes electricity with less resistance than a thin wire)
Your stated: "Open non-compartmentalized spaces are a recipe for hot spots - areas of turbulence with higher temperatures." and then cited a server room article talking about cooling air taking the path of least resistance -- going under the floor in a server room, instead of through rack mounted servers.
Fact: Lots of open space for large, slow moving fans to keep a video editing box cool is a great way to go
You stated: "Full towers - in themselves - are worse for cooling"
Fact: That is one crazy indefensible statement!
I seriously doubt that you fully comprehend the differences and importance of thermal conductivity, heat capacity, conduction, convection, and radiation for you to make the statements that you have so far and these are the staples for discussing how heat transfer takes place.
Note to other readers... There are lots of ways to cool components including cpus, hard drives, gpus and memory. I suspect that the noise levels brought by servers and some gamers would be totally offensive to the ambient noise level that you want in the room with you for video editing. Therefore we are left with just a few quiet alternatives: 1) lots of volume at low velocity (large cases, large fans, slow rpm), 2) liquid cooling, and 3) Cases with doors or baffles to keep the sound from a noisier solution from getting back to your ears.

Jim

IGMP Problems - various - Help & Advice please!!!

I have BT infinity. In August when sports deals were announced I decided to get a vision box, never previously had one. From the start i experienced various problems, sports and multicast channels intermittently working. Only getting every other channel, losing channel after 4 and a quarter minutes, and the info bar randomly flashing up frequently.
We have had this fault outstanding with BT since then. During this time we have had a new vision box (with 512 of ram instead of 256), our Home Hub 3B (known ethernet problems) was swopped by BT for a Home hub 3A. The vision box to the hub is hardwired (ethernet cable also changed).
We have spoken at length to various BT technical support members, all giving us different opinions and advice. One spoke to us last week and advised us to remove all other wired PC's from the hub and reset the hub yet again. (previously we had 2 Pc's wired to the hub).
Since we removed the PC's the vision has been working well, better than we have ever had it. We decided to connect one of the PC's back to the hub a few days ago and the problem has returned. We reset the hub and disconnected the PC and the vision was alright again. Today we have connected a different PC and the problems are back.
The last technical person said it was IGMP (internet group management protocol) which was probably causing the problem. we are wondering if this is caused by the vision box (would a youview box instead help?) or changing the hub (would a hub 4 or 5 help).
Has anyone got any experience or advice please. This has been a real headache. Its been a long slog being passed around from person to person and have to repeat everything over and over and be told to reboot things we have done many times before.
Thanks in advance. M

New Infinity and BT Vision problem solved - thanks...

Not a problem or a complaint this time, but a pat on the back for BT.
I received my new BT Infinity service today, the engineers were on time, professional and quick. After my Infinity service was active however I noticed I was getting a lot of V04 errors on BT Vision On Demand stuff. I checked the line speed, and all seemed to be great, I am getting over 42meg!! So why the V04?? I called BT support and spoke to a lovely lady who seemed to know exactly what I was talking about, and she had the problem sussed out and fixed in about two minutes.
It turns out the problem was due to a QoS setting on my profile. Over the last 18 months or so I had several times that my old ADSL broadband line speed would just dissappear to almost nothing, each time the BT support staff would push up the QoS in order to try and provide a good enough line speed for the BT vision to work. This setting was never fixed when my new Infinity connection was setup and it was causing problems, hence the V04. Problem appears to be fixed now, thanks for the quick resultion BT.

One thing on powerline adaptors (picked up from a comment by another poster on the forum at some point).
Powerline adaptors should never be used on power surge controlled extensions.
Where possible, they should not be used on extensions.
They should not be plugged into the one half of a twin socket with a surge controlled extension in the other half.
Most people know the first two, but maybe not the third ~ I didn't till I saw that other post. It is quite natural to have all your computer equipment plugged into a surge controlled extension with the powerline plugged in conveniently next to it. When I read the other post I changed mine around; because of the layout I had to break rule 2 to do it and temporarily use a long mains extension for the powerline, but it still very considerably imporoved the powerline performance.
That said, the performance I was seeing even with the problem wasn't bad enough to stop streaming working.
They say that because it can hinder the performance, as some surge protectors destroy signal but some are fine.

I have a MacBook Pro 15 inch early 2011.
The new features available in OS X Yosemite like Continuity, Handoff,etc are not supported in this model.
I did upgrade RAM to avoid any possible slowdown.
I found replacing the HD with SSD is too expensive for a 4 years old model.
Replacing the CPU/GPU is not for amateurs.
If you think that rebuilding a Mac part by part is a viable option, please go ahead and rebuild it.
Best.

Importing into Flash a Fireworks image - advice please!

Importing into Flash using a Fireworks image - advice please!
New'ish to Flash so hope I'm in the right forum ;-)
I have made and image using gradients in Fireworks and have been using FW for ages (please see example below).
I am importing into Flash CS4 this image and want to use it with a Flash component however the image quality is really bad in Flash and I cant figure out why. I have increased the image to 300dpi in Fireworks to see if that helps and it doesn't.
I'm hoping this is a simple thing I am missing due to not knowing Flash as well as I do Fireworks.
Really grateful for any advise. P.

Hi there,
No not trying to adjust size of the image in Flash, do that all before hand.
In Fireworks I can adjust resolution but don't seem to be able to in Flash, is this def the case?

LaCie external DVD Burner.
I'm planning on doing the following:
I'm on a limited budget, can only afford to spend around $300.00
I Want to add 3 more 512 MB Sticks of the Kingston KTA-G4333/512 PC2700 Ram.
Also, I Want to Replace my 80 GB HD with either of the following:
2 - Seagate 160 or 250 GB SATA drives/8 MB Cache on the Rear Bays
And a - SIIG SATA PCI Controller Card (SIISCSATM12S)
OR;
1 Seagate 160 GB ATA/100 8 MG Cache drive in the ATA/100 Bus Rear Bay.
And 1 Seagate 160 GB ATA/100 8 MG Cache drive in the front ATA/66 Bus Bay.
My Question:
(Which would be better performance wise and for stability?)
I only want to have 2 internal Hard Drives so my Mac won't over heat.
I'm planning on Cloning my 80 GB drive to one of the new drives using Super Duper.
After that, I'll store the drive until I can afford to get an external OWC case for it.
I want to use the second new drive for a Photoshop Scratch disk and for temp video file work.
Under 10.3.9 - I use:
Photoshop CS2
Toast 7
Popcorn 1.0.3
VisualHUB
On occasion I still boot into OS 9 for Photoshop 5.5., QuarkXPress 3.2.2 r5 and Adobe Illustrator 7.
I don't foresee being able to afford a Mac Pro and don't want to get a used G5 anytime
soon. I'm hoping my G4 will last me a few more years.
I suspect putting a ATA/100 drive on the ATA/66 Bus might hamper performance. And suspect using a SATA controller card in a "PCI" slot isn't as good as having a True SATA Bus, performance wise either.
I was just wondering which would be the better way to go for performance and stability?
The drives will be probably OEM either at OWC or NewEgg.
I'd really appreciate some help with this. Thank You.

With those applications and the intended purpose for the 2d drive, i.e. video and PS scratch, then go SATA. No question, best performance (without considering the cost of SCSI) to be found with SATA even using a PCI SATA controller. PATA been left behind, no ones doing development anymore.
I would suggest partitioning that 2d drive because PS and FS scratch disks are different in kind. FS needs unfragmented media, otherwise dropped frames and sync issues. PS scratch media are temporary and messy.
Depending on the drives and card, SATA drives should bench (with something like Intech QuickBench) at the high end of around 80-90 MB/sec. I haven't bought a PATA HD in years, but best I ever saw was around 60 MB/sec. 80-90 MB/sec is still very good even if say you can bench better in Mac Pro.
The Siig card you're considering is solid. I've used it in both 10.4 and 10.5, but only used it to boot in 10.4.x, never in Leopard. I had some issues with it my others cards, but easily solved by swapping placement.
I also have the two-port Sonnet Tempo, which is actually just a purple Firmtek Seritek 2-port card. I bought the Siig first, having to get it (and a bunch of other stuff) shipped overseas. I later bought the Sonnet because I could get it locally although for a higher price; with overseas taxes, customs, etc. for only the card --- it's a wash.
Anyway, I have two WD SE16 750GB drives in my MDD 1.25 Dual, which were originally on the Siig. With the Siig, QuickBench (I run the big 100MB files) showed 70+ MB/sec Read, around 55+ MB/sec Writes. I was a bit disappointed about the Writes. When the Sonnet arrived, I swapped and ran QuickBench again. With the Sonnet I see both Reads and Writes at 80+ MB/sec.
So as far as benchmarks go, the Sonnet/Firmtek wins. (I know Firmtek has a line of internal cards, including a 4 port version.) But I can't say I noticed any huge difference in everyday tasks. I had some sleep issues with Sonnet/Firmtek in 10.4.x, which was solved by downgrading the firmware.
I have FC Studio, but I capture to externals via eSATA.
I still have the Siig, it's in my MDD 1.0 Dual used as a file and Time machine server. Has a Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 1TB on it which doesn't bench to well on the Siig, but I haven't tried bench testing it with the Sonnet.
Hope that helps.

Advice please from the Experts

hi,
advice on all of this would be of great help, so please bear with me.
Hoping to buy a nice new Mac Pro, the Two 2.8Ghz Quad-Core Intel Xeon model for work.
It would be mainly used in editing video, sound recordings including Powerpoint with voice/video, all for Podcasting via iTunes. At present it takes forever to render a video clip down, say from 1.5Gb to something like 100Mb using Quicktime Pro', making it small enough for iTunes on my old G4 or even my Macbook.
A couple of questions for you guys ( the experts ).
Forget memory, that's a no brainer, the more the better I know that part. What i need advice on is this:
1) Graphics card :- do I go for the 2 x ATI Radeon 2600XT or the NVIDIA GeForce 8800GT ?
( read several discussions about the XT or the GT, some for one, others for the other )
2) Hard Drive :- I want speed, so do I go for the 300Gb SAS or should I stay with the standard HD !
( I know that the SAS is smaller in size, but....... advice please )
I hope someone ( or even more ) can come up with some sound advice please. My gut feeling is go for the SAS but unsure about which GC to use.
Oh before anyone does ask me, I will be getting the 20in Apple display too.
Regards
Steve

SAS and Mac Pro RAID are discussed (threads should be easy to Google) and based on Barefeats, and huge price jump, nearly $2000 extra, no.
Too bad these don't fit in Mac Pro - WD VelociRaptor
http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.asp?driveid=459&language=en
Fast, low cost WD Caviar SE16 640GB
http://www.wdc.com/th/products/products.asp?driveid=394
Use 1TB drives are excellent for most and have gained speed and popularity.
Again, all of these are reviewed on Barefeats or look at StorageReview, though bare in mind drives perform different under Windows than on OS X.
So I am still partial to low latency Raptor.

New Infinity 2 Order

Hi Guys,
Ive recently placed a new Infinity 2 order, porting from a TalkTalk ADSL service.
When I placed the order I did not have my TalkTalk MAC code, however I received this on Sunday via email.
When I go into the ordertracking page to input the MAC code, the web page does not recodnise the code (I never get past Step 1 of whats indicated to be a 2 step process)
I called the 0800 number indicated on the BT welcome email, and gave the MAC code verbally to somone who spoke English as a second language. He appeared to struggle with the MAC code input as well, and after several attempts announced there seemed to be a systems problem, but it had finally gone through.
My issue is that when I look at the ordertracker today (48 hours after verbally being told the MAC code has been accepted) the order update still says that the MAC code is outstanding and no dates have been confirmed for installation.
Is this a problem, or does the ordertracker status always lag behind the status on any internal BT system?
Cheers,
JKW.

So the plot thickens....
Ive talked to a UK BT agent who checked the order progress, and they confirmed that the MAC code is still outstanding.
I gave them the TalkTalk MAC code I was issued with, only to be told that its in the wrong format!
The issued MAC has the following format: XXXX1234567/XX12X.
However the BT portal is requesting the MAC in the following format: XXXX12345678/XX12X. So my TalkTalk MAC code is one digit short. BT asked me to go back to Talk Talk and request they check the MAC code issued is correct, which they have.
They also said the MAC code digits can be between 7-9 digits long.
I was also then told by Talk Talk that the MAC code for my current service is actually provided by BT themselves (I assume via Openreach?) as Im on a BT provided LLU service. In addition, I cant request for another MAC code until a full 30 days has elapsed from when the current one was issued.
My Infinity 2 order is currently still unconfirmed, awaiting MAC code.
Are there any BT moderators who can assist? I seem to be caught in a Catch 22 loop between BT and Talk Talk, with BT themself not recodnising the MAC code that they apparently issued to Talk Talk!
I just knew this would turn into a mare........
JKW.

Is there a way to run a 2005 PreSonus Firebox(with the firewire) to a mid-2011 iMac 0SX 10.7.2? It says its no longer supporting Power PC? Anything I can do without spending more money on new equipment or a new computer? Please help me.

Nevermind, I got it working.
I ended up extracting the new vob within MPEG Streamclip, which gave me an m2v and an aiff audio. I multiplexed those two back together in FFMpegX which gave me a complete VIDEO_TS folder with BUP and IFO files I needed.

OK...now I appear to 'progressed' I changed my email address back to original on Apple id and then was able to delete icloud account. Apparently I couldnt do it as it kept requesting password when I entered passsword ( both old and new one, it wouldnt accept it as it had my old email address in ) It didnt do that on ios6 . Anyway I deleted account, but now I tried to login in with my new id/password and it says unable as already in use!!! More help needed please! Its a nightmare!!

New Infinity advice please?
