Number of coaxial cable runs for TV and Internet

Hello,I currently have Xfinity internet into my home. A single coax cable runs into my home through the conduit that was installed when the home was built. If I were to add Xfinity TV service with 3 rooms total, could I do it without needing to run another coax cable and utilizing the existing run? Can 1 coaxial cable run service both TV and Internet? I want to avoid having to run another cable from the outside of the house. The way the conduit was run makes it very difficult to tap into and I want to avoid making a hole on the side of the house.

As a non-technical person, I have noticed that most responses to the question about cable and internet being carried through the same coaxial cable fail to mention that the coax cable to use should be RG-6 when connecting to a cable modem. I think most technical folks assume that's the cable in use, but I noticed that my Xfinity coaxial internet connection cable (installed many years ago) was slightly different than the cable they used to go from the other outlets to the TV cable boxes. Upon further research, I found that the TV coax was RG-59 and would not support the internet signal being transmitted to a cable modem, only the RG-6 would work. RG-6 is not expensive, just slightly more than RG-59, but if you're trying to move a modem and wireless router to another room and it doesn't work, that's probably the problem.

Skype number is suddenly not working for me and my...

Skype number is suddenly not working for me and my colleagues to RECEIVE outside calls. Any ideas?
When I try to call my skype from my cell, it doesnt ring on either end. It appears connected on the cell phone since the counter clock for the call is increasing, but it doesnt ring or connect.
This is the same for me and at least 2 of my colleagues. It was working all day, till suddenly it did not.
When outside people call, it just gives us a missed call or voicemail email, but does not show a missed call on our skype.
When I call an outside number from skype, it connects.
Thanks for any help ASAP!

I think this might have been happening to me earlier. If you wait like 30 seconds when you called a machine said "All circuits are busy. da da da". I was looking for an answer and google only brought stuff from like 2010. It's working now after an hour or so.
Sucks cause I use skype for work and was desperate to find a quick reponse but couldn't.

I keep getting window up saying urgent update recommending download, but when i do try, all i get is a blue and white bar moving . i have left it run for hours and nothing happens. what is it?

i downloaded new FF 2 weeks ago. Since then i keep getting update window coming up every day highly recommending i update but when i try, nothing happens except blue/white moving bar at top of window. i have left it run for hours and no progress, so i close it. The next time I open FF, it appears again and again same happens.
If there is an urgent update, how urgent is it if I cannot download it.It's worries me that i can,t load it and how it might affect my security.

It would be a great idea to uninstall Norton - you don't need it and it has a pretty poor reputation for mucking up otherwise healthy Macs.
Have a look at this User Tip from klaus1: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2435
To uninstall Norton:
https://support.norton.com/sp/en/us/home/current/solutions/kb20080427024142EN_En dUserProfile_en_us
Edit: To see whether you actually have Norton installed launch Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. If it's installed you'll likely see some Norton entries there.
Also, in System Preferences>Users & Groups or Accounts, depending on OS)>Login Items, it might be listed.

Firefox has suddenly gone wrong. I was successfully running both Firefox and Internet Explorer 8 on Windows 7. My laptop is new and has plenty of RAM and HDD. I auto-accept upgrades including the most recent Firefox upgrade and the suggested upgrade to Adobe Flash 10.1. But after this, Firefox stopped working and does not work when I re-load Firefox 3.6. Also IE8 now works very slowly and does not locate major websites like Microsoft without a 'can't find the website message' and having to pressing Return a second time. When I do get to the Mozilla website and click on the button to try to download Firefox 3.6.6, I get this message "Oops! Internet Explorer could not find mozilla3.snt.utwente.nl". Can you help with what has gone wrong? As it stands, I can't use Firefox at all. Note: because Firefox did not work after the upgrade, I've downloaded the IE8 version of the Adobe Flash 10.1. What I really want is to be able to use both Firefox and IE8. But is this possible if they use different versions of Adobe Flash?
== This happened ==

I have been having the same problem as the original poster. After upgrading to Ffx 3.6.6, the program asks you to upgrade to Flash Player Plugin 10.1. I download and installed 10.1 only to find videos weren't loading.
In my case, the problem is the previous installation of Flash Player (9.0.47) was somehow messing things up. To fix this, because I already had Flash plugin 10.1 installed I had to uninstall 10.1 using the uninstaller from adobe and then manually remove any files related the old flash player plugin 9.0.47
Here is a run-down of my process:
0. To check if you have a previous installation of the Flash Plugin lurking around, in Firefox go to Tools -> Add-ons -> Plugins (tab). At this point you may seen both Flash plugins.
1. Proceed to uninstall Flash Plugin 10.1. Adobe provides an uninstaller here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
( you have to make sure you have nothing running when you execute the installer).
2. On my Mac (sorry I don't know what it is in Windows) I searched the hard drive for any files/folders with "Shockwave". I found a folder called "Shockwave 10". It wasn't removed by Adobe's uninstaller. For safety I deleted it and then emptied the trash.
3. I then went to My HD -> Library -> Internet Plugins.
Remove the file and folder named "Flash player.old"
4. Restarted; ran the Adobe Flash Player 10.1 installer. Restarted again.
5. Opened up ffx and double checked the plugins list (see step 1). Version 10.1 is installed and available. Went to problem sites to test it out and Success!
Hope this helps.

Cable Broadband for subdivision and Commercial Quote

Hi Telstra, I recently bought a subdivided home and currently waiting for settlement. So as a forward thinking professional, i took the initiative to make sure that cable broadband would be available for my property ahead of time so thought i would enjoy cable broadband as soon as i moved in. I checked that both properties either side of me can receive cable broadband and indeed they both do on the telstra broadband checker tool. Infact the entire street and the connecting street both receive cable broadband. From what I can tell it is provided from the overhead poles. Understanding that subdivisions are not updated on the telstra database I contacted a Telstra sales rep to get the ball rolling and they did a 'database check' which said i could get ADSL, maybe on ADSL2+ and not available for cable. I then went to the Telstra store who did the samething except this time visually showed me the database check, I asked them if it was possible to send a technician out to see if it was possible to connect to the cable service and how much it would cost. Instead I was told that trenches would have to be dug and that I would have to hire my own contractor to do it. I told them no trenches needed digging as as the subdivision is literally 3-5m from the poles and that it was facing the street not behind the main house. Attached below is a pictorial of what my situation is.So my property is actually a subdivision of 2A Bravo st, but since its facing Delta st its designated as 35B Delta st. The poles on Delta st currently supply the property with the phoneline and power as well.
After some more research, i discovered the commercial quote method on the crowdsupport service. I then requested a commercial quote done through the 24x7 live chat in which they happily did for me and said it would take 14 days. 16 days later i followed up and the chat rep i spoke to could not find any record of the commercial quote and then suggested i speak the to Moving Home Team instead.
Before I try the Moving Home Team, i private messaged a moderator whose yet to respond. So I ask anyone from Telstra or the crowdsupport if they can help with me with my situation please! I really want Telstra Cable as ADSL1 is not acceptable especially since the exchange is in the next suburb where my max speed would only be 4mb/s. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I would try calling the connections team, 132200 and say "connection". Ask them for the reference number for the call (will be INT 1-4x) Ask them for the reference number for the Commerical Quote Webform (I believe that they might have an SR 1-4x number, but it has been a while since I have seen one) Ask them to send you a Get Back In Touch link by email/SMS, and if you haven't heard back, use that link to get back to them specifically, that way you should be able to get someone who should be able to help. It is disappointing that the LiveChat person hasn't submitted it or at least noted the reference but normally it is within a few weeks they get back. (10-15 business days) The link they send will also have their name and employee number so you can also say who you spoke to. If after that you don't hear back, i would personally just raise a complaint, but they normally are pretty good at getting back to you.

How do I change the phone number that ipad is using for iMessage and FaceTime

Since the latest iOS update my ipad uses my husbands phone number for iMessage and FaceTime. How do I change the phone number to match my iPhone?

Sign out of FT and iMessage on both your iPad and your iPhone. Sign back in on the iPhone. Wait for everything to activate. Then, sign back in on the iPad using the same Apple ID.

USB sync cable different for CDMA and GSM version phones?

I recently ordered a USB sync cable for Iphone 4S from ebay. I want to know whether the USB sync cable for Iphone 4S is different for CDMA and GSM version phones? And if they are then what are the likely consequences if they are interchanged and used inadvertantly.

All recent iDevices use the same type of connector/cable.

McAfee runs for hours and hours

My PC is old so this may be the problem but any help would be appreciated. Broadband check shows acceptable levels. Don't get thousands of emails and am good at file managing. Don't have graphic packages or games running but do have lots of photos. Since changing from AVG to McAfee this virus checker can literally run for 12 hours or more which slows down absolutely everything that I want to do so I is not an effective option and really frustrating. Automatic Updates are on and at the moment have changed virus check from weekly to daily to see if this speeds things up. Any tips?

Time Capsule stuck at Preparing for Backup, and internet TC latency issue

I have an iMac that backs up to my 1TB Time Capsule. I have had it since March. Suddenly it stopped backing up. It get's stuck at "preparing for backup" and never actually completes a backup.
I am also experiencing a HUGE latency issue with my internet connection. I am constantly having to use the 'refresh' page button in Safari.
help....

TB,
*_Time Machine May Report "Preparing..." For a Long Time_*
Consider these factors regarding an extended period of "Preparing...". Consider each topic separately and do not attempt to act on all of them at once.
*Recent Crash or Other Major System Event* (Deep Traversal)
The reasons for this process are described in an article by George Schreyer. “During the preparation step it checks the FSEvents log for consistency. If it determines that something isn't quite right it has to rescan the whole disk. This can take quite awhile. A full rescan is always triggered by a crash, an unplanned shut down event or by booting from some other bootable disk between backups…. After a crash, Time Machine must scan the whole disk to determine what it has to do because it cannot trust the information that it left behind. Connected via an Ethernet connection, this phase would typically take 20 minutes on an older PowerBook. Being connected wirelessly stretches this phase out to over 3 hours.” [http://www.girr.org/mac_stuff/backups.html]
According to the following KB article it can sometimes take a very long time if Time Machine begins this “deep traversal” and has to compare data inventories. This may apply to your situation, particularly if many Gigs of data are involved. (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1516)
*Anti-Virus Software*
Running anti-virus software can interfere with the backup process. Either disable it altogether, or try the suggestion outlined here, “If you use third-party anti-virus scanning software and have issues, make sure your Time Machine back up folder (Backups.backupdb on the Time Machine disk) is excluded from virus scanning.” (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1516)
*Software Updates* #
Installing new software, upgrading existing software, or updating Mac OS X system software can create major changes in the structure of your Macs directories. Time Machine will backup every file that has changed since the installation.
If you take a look at the Console logs Time Machine may be reporting that your backups need "deep traversal". That's fine. Time Machine knows what is wrong and how to fix it. If you have a great deal of data, it may take quite awhile.
After an OS update (like 10.5.5) Time Machine realizes the system no longer matches what it looked like during the previous backup. So it has determined that it's earlier catalogue of what-should-be-where is 'untrustable'. So it is going to go item-by-item comparing the before and after of your system. If you have just performed an OS Update then Time Machine knows what it's doing - let it do it!
*Spotlight Keeps Indexing Backup Drive* #
It may be that Time Machine can’t proceed or complete a backup due to a Spotlight indexing error. During this period, take a look at the Spotlight icon in the upper right corner of your screen. Is there a tiny dot pulsating in the center of the spyglass? Click on the icon. Is there a progress bar displayed? Generally Spotlight indexing is a good thing. But at time it may hang and never progress, preventing backups from taking place.
Go to System Prefs --> Spotlight --> Privacy Tab.
Drag your Time Machine disk into the window. It should now be among the items to exclude from indexing.
Now quit System Prefs.
Reopen System Prefs and remove ("-") the Time Machine disk from the window.
This should clear out Spotlights cache. Naturally, Spotlight should begin indexing again (maybe even for a few hours depending on how much data there is), but it should eventually stop.
*Reboot Time Capsule* #
Stop the backup from the Time Machine menu.
When the Time Machine icon stops spinning, unplug the TC from the wall outlet.
Wait 10-15 seconds.
Re-plug it in again.
After it has restarted (30-60 seconds), attempt another backup.
Time Machine will report “Preparing…” again, but it shouldn’t be lasting more than a couple of hours.
Let us know if any of the suggestions above helped in your case.
Cheers!

Time capsule and Airport Express for music and internet

Hello! I have a time capsule and an airport express. I use the time capsule for back up, extra space (music) and internet connection. Then I use the airport express to play my music wirelessly (it is attached to my speakers via an amp). This set-up used to work fine but not any more... I can play music via the
Airport Express but then I won't have internet, or I have an internet connection via my Time Capsule but then the Airport Express has to be removed. It seems like the Airport Express overrules the Time Capsule when it comes to internet connection, and obviously (as there is no ethernet cable connected to it) that doesn't work. But somehow I can't select the Time Capsule network any more. What am I doing wrong, what happened? I have spent hours searching the internet to find the solution but so far no good. Please help! Thanking you very much!

just leave the TC on it is designed for that.

Should I xfer HDV 1440x1080i to ProRes 1440x1080p for editing and internet?

Hello:
I still get a bit confused about Pro Res, etc. So if anyone can point me in the right direction on this I'd be thankful.
I shot HDV video at 1440 x 1080i (interlaced) as that's the format my old-ish Sony HVR-Z1U (already shot, looks great - that's the camera I had so no lectures).
My question is should I transfer it to ProRes 1440 x 1080p (progressive) for editing and later encoding as h264 video for the web? Is there any advantage to doing this and if so at what stage should I do it?
Should I do before the edit? After the edit (and before the h264 encode)? Or is it necessary to do it all?
Final output is internet only.
Thanks in advance for any help or pointers

Good information. Many thanks.
On the contradictory element... I have heard (and occasionally practiced) that bringing in the video from tape as ProRes speeds up the editing process (doesn't take so long to render, etc.). I'm all for keeping things as simple as possible and keeping things native would be best - but don't you find it takes up more drive space and takes longer to render?
My project will be 20 mins in length when completed, and does involve some green screen chroma keying - so I'm up for anything that does not need constant re-rendering (which has been an issue when working with native/uncompressed HDV video).
Thanks again.

SCCM design DMZ for intranet and internet clients

Hello,
I am looking for some design recommendations for my test environment that I would like to apply to one production environment (I already posted about this topic but I still have some questions).
I am working with 2 domains (2 forests) with no trust relationships.
Domain A : internal
Domain B : DMZ
From a firewall point of view, only the ports from the internal to the DMZ will be opened.
From the internet to the DMZ, only HTTPS will be opened.
Currently, I only manage the clients connected to the internal domain.
I would like to deploy a new management point in DMZ that will allow me to manage my DMZ clients (servers) and my Internet clients (laptops).
Should I use 2 management points ? Is it supported ?
- one for the DMZ clients
- one dedicated to my internet clients
If I use only one MP, should I allow Intranet and Internet clients ?
Should I allow my DMZ clients to communicate with the internal management point (port 80) and only use the MP in DMZ for my Internet clients.
The only documents I can find on Technet require too many ports to be opened in the firewall (From DMZ to Internal) and can't be applied to my environment.
Thanks.

Have a look at the following blog which explains your queries comprehensively.

I uninstalled a cad program I've been running for years and when I go to reinstall it says 0kb available, but in Finder the hard drive shows 80 gb. Why won't it let me install?

Cad software started having some issues so I uninstalled it and when I go to re-install, I can't get past the "select folder for installation" page. I can't browse to any other than the default applications location and at the bottom of the screen it shows 0kb available. But there is 80 gb available on the hard drive. It's an older software, but that shouldn't really matter as it's been on the machine for years. Did upgrading to Snow Leopard somehow do this (as it had many other negative effects on the software)? Software is ArchiCAD 9. I'd upgrade to current version if I had an extra $4K laying around but I don't (so please don't suggest that). Also, I'm that Administrator and I don't have problems installing other softwares. Is it possible that the installation disk from the software manufacturer can have an expiration date? Software is from about 2006.
Thanks.

I suspect the software was originally designed for PPC based Macs and is simply not designed to run on 10.6.7. I would recommend contacting the manufacturer and asking the correct way to uninstall they're application.
After uninstalling I would run Repair Disk Permissions in Disk Utility and if necessary do a SMC reset using the following instructions:
SMC RESET
• Shut down the computer.
• Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
• Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
• Release the power button.
• Attach the computers power cable.
• Press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM RESET
• Shut down the computer.
• Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
• Turn on the computer.
• Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

Different number of records in RSA3 for Full and INIT

Hi All,
I am about to load the data from 0FI_GL_4 and checked it in RSA3 for the number of records. It returned different number of records when I run the extract with options 'F' and 'C'. Why is it so? This is the first time I am loading the data into BW for this datasource. I would expect the number of records to be same if I do either a full extract or an init but surprised by seeing different number of records.
Best Regards,
James.

Hi James,
Probably it's because of the time stamps stored in table BWOM2_TIMEST.
If you run a delta init and than a delta update then the number of the records should match with the record of the full update.
You can find some more info about table BWOM2_TIMEST here:

Co88 - for huge number of production orders -running for hours

Hello All,
I have a issue, in our manufacturing plant, we have huge number of production orders created every day, almost 1200 per day. During month end it takes almost 8 to 10 hours for running settlement, we find very difficult in doing month end closing. We also attempted parallel processing, it errors out.
I heard that, the co88 program looks each order by order checking the status, like closed, and thats the reason, its time consuming, i am not sure how far its true.
I am sure this general issue, people might have come across, can anybody share their experience. How to overcome this issue to run the settlement with possible minimal time, is there any note. please guide me
thanks
best regards
gj

Yes, this is a generic issue. Most clients manage by marking the orders as closed/deleted, so that these orders are not considered for period end settlement.
Also consider note 545932, and search notes fo further help.
