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.

Thanks for the link.
It does say in there that it does tend to mess up the clock. Also why doesn't the VIA boards have this option?

IE 10 blank new tab and missing favourites problem only when requiring a proxy for first page visit

We are having a very strange situation with one (only) of our 64bit 2008r2 remote desktop session host servers. The problem we are having is that when any new tab or window is opened it must first open a page that is in the
internet options -> connections ->LAN settings -> Advanced -> Exception. Do not use proxy server for addresses beginning with
Area. OR ELSE....
The entire contents of the favourites menu below "Organize favourites" is missing, though the favourites explorer bar, and tool bar display the links, but they cannot be opened in the current tab and will not create a new tab when you click open
in new tab. HOWEVER, this problem is instantly resolved if you manually type into the address bar and visit a site that is in the proxy exception list. Then that tab starts to function normally, the favourites menu is populated and works, and so
does the favourites explorer bar, and toolbar, and other websites can be visited.
This is extremely problematic. Looking at the proxy server logs, when the problem is happening no attempt is made at contacting the proxy server.
Ways we've encountered this problem
If the user has the option set that a new tab opens the 'new tab page' then any new tab experiences the problem.
If the browser is set to open the user's home page(s) then any of the home pages that are not in the exception list may or may not open successfully. But again any of them that opened a page that was not in the proxy exception list will experience
the problem
when a user tries to click on a website link from an email or document that is not in the proxy exception list, as this opens a new window or tab and it is just blank.
when a website not in the exception list tries to open a new window/tab
This problem is happening for all users on that RD session host server, including domain admins, except for THE domain/enterprise administrator. Our other 2008r2 64bit RD session host servers and windows 7 machines with the same version of IE
installed on it does not have this problem.
We have tried deleting all IE data, resetting IE, re-registering the ieproxy.dll with the regserv32 command and the problem continues.
Our proxy settings for each user is coming from the group policy setting of 'computer config -> policies -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Internet Explorer -> Make proxy settings per-machine = enabled'
and THE domain administrator choosing to enable the proxy server and disable automatic proxy detection.

Hi,
Since you have tried many methods like deleting all IE data, resetting IE, and it works well on other Windows 7 machines, the problem might be some clients didn’t respond to the group policy.
Try to update the group policy with this command at the clients ”gpupdate /force”.
And check whether the client is infected with virus, some virus might cause this issue too.

New update and HP printer problems

I recently installed some automatic updates for my computer, including the MacBook SMC Firmware update along with something else that was recommended (but I don't remember what it is). Immediately afterwards, I began having printer issues (ie, I could no longer print). I then fiddled around, attempting to reinstall my HP software. However, I encountered a major problem when my computer wouldn't recognize that there was a printer on my wireless network. I had never had this issue before and another wireless computer could still print perfectly on the same printer. I called Mac and they could not solve the problem. Then, after an hour and a half on the phone with HP, we finally got the computer to recognize that there was indeed a printer on the network. In order to solve this problem we had to reset the entire printing system, manually delete any HP files from my computer, and then reinstall the latest version of the software. I just wanted to voice my concern that the latest updates are not compatible for some reason with HP printing software already installed. If you are having the same problem, you may have to start from scratch to fix it. When I called HP, they said that had been getting identical calls all morning due to this update.
MacBook - White Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Go to your application folder > open utilitis folder > and click on disk utilities.

New update and web page problems

After updating to new is on 3GS having problems bring up some webpages. I was able to view them with previous os.

Your wording is kinda crazy, but try this:
sync your iphone to your itunes, making sure to back up contacts, notes..etc.. then do a factory reset and install your iPhone as a new device, then back it up with the previous backup of the phone.

Since I update my iPhone 5 to the new version and lot of problems arise and I can't open app store

The new version IOS 7.0.3 very bad and I can't open app store always said (can not connect to app store) and I can't update badoo for example and when I erased it to reinstall again I couldn't open app store ... It's very bad new software and I want to return back to the old version , it was better

I bought a new MBA and are having problems with HDMI and VGA port

Hi,
I just bought a new mac book air, and at the apple stre they recommended me a mosh mini to vga cabel. I need to use my computer for projector either hdmi or regular vga adapte. The new mba only has thunderbolt, usb, memory/card slot, microphone and headphone ports.
Does anyboody has and idea how i will or how do i connect the hdmi or vga adapaters to the computer. I have been searching on the cables the apple store has available but the end that goes into the computer is not compatible with the ones I mentioned above.
Please any help would be of great help, because I dont know what to do. I think this is a problem with the new MBA.
thank you,

Thank you doubr. So what I need is to buy the thunderbolt cable and the minidisplayport to vga adapter or the griifin mini display port to hdmi tht toothpickproductions recommends, is that correct?
The one I have is a mini dvi to vga adapter and the end that goes into the computer is the same one that the minisdisplayport to vga adapter or the griffin one have, and is too big to go into the new mba. I dont know if I am confusing you more with what I am saying.
check the link below and you will see the ports the mba has
http://www.apple.com/macbookair/specs.html
if you see the ports that mba has, the two minidosplayport that are recommending do not fit..
So, do you know that if I buy the thunderboldt cable will either of the two minidisplay ports fit or I need to buy another adapter for the minidisplay ports??
thank you because I am kind of confused, I did not have this problem with the macbookpro I had before...

New MBP and 23" ACD problem

Here's my situation: when I'm at home I use my MBP with an 23" ACD (alu) and keep the MBP screen closed. I used this combo for over 6 months with a 15" MBP 2ghz core duo with absolutely no problems, including taking the MBP with me and using it by itself. I've now replaced my original MBP with the new 15" core2 duo 2.33 glossy. When I boot up in the morning I get 23" ACD flashing to a solid blue and then back to the regular screen about every 4 seconds until the system hangs. After rebooting a couple of times the problem seems to go away.
I notice there appears to be no screen closed detector on this model like there was on the old MBP. Is this a known bug? Anyone know of a setting etc that I might have to tweak. The new MBP works flawlessly on it's own.

If you want the MBP internal LCD to shut off while using the external display, just utilize clamshell mode. Plug in an external mouse, keyboard and LCD. Close the lid and put the machine to sleep. Wake the machine by either clicking the mouse or pressing a key on keyboard. This will wake your machine and make the external display your main monitor. You can now open the lid of the MBP to allow the heat to escape.
Also, right now I leave the lid open while the two
are connected. I'd like to leave the lid open while
running the machine to allow for heat venting comming
off of the keyboard. But even with the brightness
turned all the way down on the background image, the
image is still faintly displayed. Do you know how I
might bring it to a full off mode?

Soft subtitles in movies and Front Row problem solved

Hi,
Sorry for this long post but I hope this will help other users of Front Row.
This is how I create a testmovie.mov file from an DVD, TS_FOLDER or other source and the subtitles (soft) will work in Front Row, Quicktime, iTunes, without Perian or other special plugin. In my case the subtitle is NOT burn into the video. It is a track in the testmovie.mov file.
Also I use Elgato turbo h.264 HD to speed up coding. Not necessary.
1. Create a .m4v movie file (h.264 codec)
In my case I start the application that comes with Elgato turbo h.264 HD device, called Turbo.264.HD
2. Drop the DVD, TS_FOLDER or other video to convert, onto Turbo.264.HD application or other video converting application.
3. Click on the little "i" info symbol and the select Audio. The source maybe contains different languages. Click OK.
4. Select Format. In my case "Apple TV" format (I will use this video on my Mac Mini). Click Start. After a while the video is finished. In this example I call it testmovie.m4v
5. Download subtitles from Internet. Google: subtitles download
6. Open the testmovie.m4v in RoadMovie application. This application works for me, but there may be others. http://www.bitfield.se/roadmovie
7. In RoadMovie, click on Subtitles button and then open the downloaded subtitle file. In this example called testmovie.srt Also, click on the "little eye" Preview. In this view you can adjust the time offset for the subtitle to sync with the video.
8. In RoadMovie select "Export for: Flattened". This will create a testmovie.mov file with a new subtitle track in it, without ecoding the video.
9. Open testmovie.mov in, in my case, Quicktime Pro and the select Show Movie Properties.
10. Select the video track and set the Transparency to Composition. Layer 0
11. Select the subtitle track and set Transparency to Straight Alpha. Layer 0
12. Save changes and close Quicktime Pro
13. Move the testmovie.mov to Movies folder
14. Start Front Row and select Movies->Movies Folder->testmovie.mov
Voila!
/rob

So, as far as I can tell, it's a one-or-the-other situation. Either Front Row doesn't display subtitles (actually, no video at all), or it does (with this workaround). Can't seem to toggle them. If anyone knows of a better way...
So, good job in finding a (multi-step, multi-application, convoluted) way to get this to work, but I'd hardly call this "solved." Don't get me wrong, I'd have never figured this out in a million years. Just...not quite ideal, is it?
I gave Plex a spin, and while it does offer the ability, in theory, to toggle subtitles, I haven't been able to get it to work, either with with this trick or without. I can't believe this is so hard to get right...Apple, if you're listening, there are people who use Front Row. Keep working on it! How about using that middle button of the remote for bringing up an options menu for the currently playing track, rather than duplicating the play/pause button?
Sorry, just frustrated; I finally got a Mac Mini for hooking up to the TV, and now I'm discovering how hard this is.

10.4.8 and Cisco/VPN problem solved

Hi,
This and related issues have arisen in threads on the past month, regarding the Cisco VPN v 4.9005 (and perhaps other VPN software) not working the same after the 10.4.8 upgrade. The problems relate to either not making a VPN connection, or data transfer after the successful connection is made, once the upgrade happened.
The workaround was to run the Network Setup Assistant every time to do the connection properly before launching the VPN. But this is a pain.
The eventual solution was simple, although effecting it was not straightforward. It was necessary to do a clean install of the VPN client. This is something that I could not accomplish manually, despite suggestions from the discussion group as to which files to remove, because it was difficult to find all the files that the install put it. But, at least on my machines, it could be done by command line in Terminal - cd to /usr/local/bin, ls vpn_uninstall to see if it is there, and if so, sudo ./vpn_uninstall.
I don't know if other machines can do this or if this was part of our local IT install, but IT WORKED. I AM FREE!
Wayne

that's odd....
I'm running cisco client 4.6.04 on OS X 10.4.8 and VNC without any problems...
the only difference is my radius server is an NT box, but I can AFP and VNC to my Mac on that network.

Kde and Pam related problems[solved]

Any way to disable Pam in Kde?

Thanks a ton for this tip. Finally my logs will not be polluted with junk. I agree with you that the troublesome entries should be commented by default. Just like this:

Gaming and window compositing problems [SOLVED]

Greetings,
I suffer from frame rate problems when compositing is enabled while playing games.
On this computer, they worked side by side without too many problems when I used KDE (the desktop effects were not automatically disabled by KDE either).
Now I use Xfce and have enjoyed it so far except for the problem mentioned earlier.
I have a NVIDIA graphics card and tried some ideas out at this article but with no luck so far.
I remember changing KDE's texture filter to "nearest" and I think that helped but I am not completely sure.
Are there some settings in Xfce or NVIDIA I should change? Or should I do something else all together?
Last edited by feet4337 (2011-02-04 00:33:02)

I have an idea that I will be researching around for more information on.
In KDE, I remember that Opengl was used in a setting instead of NVIDIA's X Rendering (or was it direct rendering...).
With my minor knowledge of graphics cards and rendering, I came up with this:
Opengl's memory management was used in KDE, so it explains how my computer was able to handle both compositing and graphic intensive games. And that X Rendering is not good at(or has any ability) managing memory. So I must find a way for NVIDIA to only use Opengl.
Please correct me if I am making the wrong conclusion!
EDIT: Looking at the NVIDIA server settings again, it looks like it already uses Opengl.
Reading more from many forums, it looks like Xfce's compositing uses EXA for rendering confusing the situation just a little more.

KDE4 and NVidia 8300GS problems [Solved]

Symptons:
Screen Tearing
Desktop Effects not completely working
What changed:
Suddenly, seems all of the Desktop Effects started working proplerly.
What I did:
hwd -xa
nvidia-xconfig
Edited /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Changed Depth from 16 to 24
Added my "1680x1050" to Mode lines
http://pastebin.com/f620a77c7
Systems Settings, Desktop:
Enable Desktop Effects checked
Advanced Options Button:
Compositing Type: OpenGL
OpenGL mode: Texture From Pixmap
Texture filter: Bilinear
Direct rendering checked
Use VSync unchecked
All Effects Tab:
Items checked are as follows:
Track Mouse
Zoom
Dialog Parent
Login
Logout
Minimize Animation
Present Windows
Scale In
Shadow
Desktop Grid
Flip Switch
Note: these are different from the defaults
My only guess is that turning off the Fade effect allowed other effects to start working properly. Weird thing is I didn't manually select Track Mouse or Zoom.
It might be possible that I clicked things in just the right order this time.
Items that work now that used not to:
Explosion
Fall Apart
Snow
Wobbly Windows
Flip Switch
NVidia drivers installed:
dave@dellazoid ~ $ yaourt -Ss nvidia | grep installed
extra/nvidia 173.14.12-1 [installed]
extra/nvidia-utils 173.14.12-1 [installed]
extra/nvclock 0.8b3-2 [installed]
See the results here:
http://webpages.charter.net/leutzdave/M … Switch.jpg
IMPORTANT Additional Note:
Noticed that running a diff on current xorg.conf against old backup copies shows that the change
From: Depth 16
To: Depth 24
is the more likely cause of things working now.
At some time long ago, evidently, I redid the xorg configuration and missed that one item.
