From what I can make out, it\'s basic function is to help prevent your machine from interfering with other electronic devices (such as TVs, Radios etc.)
Hope this helps!

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?

RAID 5 and Disk utility problems - wrong volume size for formatting

Hi ..
I seem to have an odd problem with setting up our new RAID 5 solution. We just bought the SR6600 with seperately bought Western Digital 750Gb servergrade SATA disks.
Through the console I configured the RAID set to be RAID5 with a total capacity of 2750Gb and with a volumeset of 3000Gb (4 discs capacity and 1 disc parity).
Here's the problem:
When I'm trying to format the new volume for HFS+ usage, I open Disk Utility and it shows the volume, but the capacity is only 750Gb - similar to 1 disc's capacity. I find this odd and I've searched all over the net for a solution and answer.
Please advice if anyone know of any management software, explaination, etc.
Much appreciated, thanks!

I've run into the same issue with a newer PPC XServe. However, after I tried to reformat, I still only show up with the orginal size, and not the new size, even after I restarted the server and XRAID.
Did you have any success with your reformat?

AirPort Express and AirPort Utility Problems

Hi all
As I have posted before I was having some problems with a slow internet connection and pages loading verrrrrrry slooowly in Safari. Used sppedtest.net to test my connection speed and was finding my upload and download speeds to be fine, so I think that it something other than my DSL intenet connection. Also found that I mgiht be having some problems connecting to the internet via my AirPort Express (sometimes I would see a flashing amber light). After searching Google I found out that I should use the AirPort Ulitity to fix the probem. Well in any event yesterday I updated the firmware on the AirPort, but today was still having some problems. No flashing lights today, but just a slow connection that I do not get on a neighbor's network. Today again I opened the AirPort Utility, but get the following message, "No configured base stations have been found. AirPort Utility will continue to searching." My step-dad suggested taking it to local authorized store/service center to see if they could fix it. Only thing is that they will charge me more the cost of a new AirPort Exprees ($99). Also wondering if I were to buy a new AirPort what is the difference between the Express and Extreme. Not sure if this matters, but my step-dad's computer is a 1.83 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Mac Mini, while I am on a the newest MacPro. For some reasaon I thought I read were the Extreem might be a better choice, as his airport card runs a a slower speed than mine and the Extremw would allow us each to connect at the different speeds, while the Express would not.
One any help in fixxing my problems and answering my questions is greatly appriecated.
Michael

How old is your Airport Express?
This is your main and only wireless base station?
The new Extremem models do have Simultaneous Dual Band frequencies which allows the faster computers to connect to it with less outside interferrence from 2.4 MHz devices.
These units also have a built-in 3 port hub if needed for other devices like printers and computers that don't have wireless.
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD031LL/A/AirPort-Extreme?fnode=MTY1NDA0Mg
If you have an old express, it may be worth updating at least to a new model or an Airport Extreme.
Entirely up to you.

Parallels and disk utility problem

ok i have parallels installed and using the boot camp partition, however the disk utility keeps changing the disk id (e.g. disk2s2) and everytime this has happens I need to edit the pvs file. Now this is a real ball ache. Can anyone tell me if there is a way of making mac os x disk utility keep the same disk id the same everytime i boot up?
Message was edited by: sam1974

cheers for the reply, however I did not create a boot camp partition on the 300gb drive I wish I had now) but simply installed windows XP onto it.
here is a screen capture of the DU:
http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll190/bobotheclown_gti/du.png
As you can see it currently says the 300gb WD is disk0s2, however yesterday it was disk1s2. Strange. Is there anyway of making OS X keep the disk id the same everytime I boot up?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

Audigy SE and AL ADA885 problem needs to be solved once and for

I just purchased the Audigy SE (I'm on a budget) and installed it. I have the Altec Lansing ADA885 THX 4. digital surround speakers. This sound card DOES NOT work correctly with them. I have been all over the net trying everything that I have seen suggested to make it work. The specs say it should work. It does not. I have tried every possible wiring configuration to no avail. One thing that I find rather annoying is that I have seen several people say that changing the SPDIF to passthrough fixes the problem, yet I cannot find anywhere to change that setting, as I cannot find Audio HQ on the driver CD or on the net to install and change that setting. Can someone, for the love of god, please come up with a valid solution to this problem? I have seen so many people with this same problem who get the run around and answers that just don't help at all. What is needed is "Here, do a, then do b, download c, and BAM! problem solved". Not "Here, do f, do h, download c, j, k, m, and p, then go back and do f again, then a, then b, then come back here and let us know that none of it fixed the problem". I don't wish to be a whiner or a jerk about this, but it is a bit frustrating to be "upgrading" to a card that won't even work right. On behalf of all those with the same problem, thanks in advance to anyone who has a valid solution to this very big, very real problem.

OK...
. Do you have the complete application suie of the Audigy SE installed?
2. If so, in Control Panel do you have the Audio Console or Audio Control Panel?
3. If you do, change the settings for Decoder Settings to SPDIF passthrough. (THis is however only of AC-3 content, it doesn't affect other formats) (I am not sure the Audigy SE does have a decoder, if not, you need to change the setting in the AC-3 decoder you use)
4. Then go to Device settings and change the Digital Output sampling rate to 48kHz.
Now if you cannot find Audio Console, then you should download the latest drivers. They specifically state they allow you to change the "SPDIF output Sampling rate", so you should be able to access the option. I believe your problem lies to the fact your SPDIF is configured for 96kHz output and most probably these very old speakers do not support more than 48kHz.
PS: The instruction I posted above, are based on an Audigy 2 ZS setup, so the naming of the settings and access programs could be different on the SE, but nevertheless present.

Bug fix for Mac book wireless - problem solved!

Aparantly there is a rather large number of folks out there who've discovered this dillema with wireless not working very well at this point on the Macbook.
Well, I can attest there is one very good solution out there for this issue. This application called Sonar Theater from www.sunray.tv includes a bug fix for the wireless connection issues with Macbook in their latest 1.5 release of Sonar Theater.
I downloaded it, put it into my start up folder and waalaa! problem solved. I've haven't any more issues with dropped wireless since - it's been running constantly for over 2 weeks now.
I haven't even attempted to touch my router configuration - don't need to.

Welcome to the better life of Macs. I am using Sonar Theater too and it's been working very well for me. In fact, I'm getting hooked on just texting a message to my Mac book to fire up user sessions now. I think if you give the Mac Book some time however, you'll find that there really is no comparison to PC's. Your life overall is going to just keep getting better as you dig in to the resources available to new Mac users.
I'm sure it seems confusing to PC users at first, but here's how to set up any application as part of your startup sequence. It really is extremely easy and simple compared to the PC world. Oh and by the way, in reality, Mac users refer to this as your login sequence. So, at login time, you can do a multitude of different things for each user account you might want to set up. Naturally, you can choose to share or not share applications and data between these user accounts on your Mac too....
Mac OS X 10.3 or later
1. Log in as the user who wishes to have a login item or as an admin user.
2. Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu.
3. Choose Accounts from the View menu.
4. Click the name of the user.
5. Click the Startup Items button
6. Click the "Add {+}" button.
The item you selected will automatically open the next time you log in.
there are several ways to get good info from the apple community on tips and tricks as well. you should just try the apple os x web site...here,
