OS X 10.7.3 WiFi - worse than before?

Ever since first buying this iMac (2011, i5, 69701GB, 8GB, 1TB) it did not find my wireless network when waking from sleep. Sometimes I had to turn the WiFi off and on to get it to work.
Subsequent updates and upgrading to Lion helped - a bit. Now I only have to refresh the list of available networks and my connection resumes automatically. A pain but I can live with it.
The latest update which claims to fix WiFi has actually made it worse though! Now my WiFi show zero signal when resuming from sleep and does not reconnect to my home wireless network. I have to manually select it and then it reconnects.
Any ideas?

To answer my own question it seems a workaround is to wake the iMac up using the power button rather than the keyboard. The WiFi reconnects this way.

Firmware Upgrade WAG54GP2v2 worse than before

My WAG54GP2v2 suddenly played up after being powered up.
It would kind of boot up then lock up with a solid power red light.
I went online help at linksys and they said to reflash the frimware.
I did this using TFTP and I was only able to connect a few seconds after booting the router before it locked up.
It went well and I got the green sign from the tftp software, went and rebooted the router and now its worse than before cant even ping it or anything, now it just has a flashing green power light.

Try to reset your gateway, remember that this will erase the entire configuration of the device. Press and hold the reset button for about 10 secs then powercycle it. If same problem, re-do the firmware update.

Support getting even worse than before

3 days, and support haven't even acknowledged my SR. Does anyone else feel that its getting even worse than it already was?

"Sorry but the analyst is in the US and won't be available for another 6 hours".
Not good enough, I asked for it to be treated by someone in Europe.
Why not propose that someone in Europe looks at it instead of saying that the analyst isn't available? Plus, she said that she'd look and see if they had enough resources to deal with the SR. Sorry but this bs didn't happen 3 or 4 years ago. I can't say to MY clients that Oracle haven't got the resources to fix a problem.
Good product, bad support.

3.x query performance on upgraded BI 7.0 - worse than before upgrade?

Dear Sirs,
upgraded a BI system this weekend from 3.x to 7.0. Purely technical upgrade so no upgrade to 7.0 queries yet.
What we have seen is that queries with "loose"/lagre selection ? (e.g all plant .. all months) etc have worse performance than before upgrade.
One example: a query went from 26second to 60 seconds to run.
Small selection (e.g one specific plant and date) is same run time.
Has anyone had similar experience?
Is BI 7.0 optimized for 7.0 queries, or are there any performance parameteres I could look at.
Best regards,
Jørgen

Aperture book quality - worse than before?

Hello everyone,
My photo studio has been using Aperture for 8 months now and we are very happy with it. We love the organization, web output, etc. We also LOVE the book design layouts, but the quality of the book printing has been degrading over that past few months.
The first books we printed with Apple (around Nov/Dec 2006) were great, then about 3 months ago, we noticed the labels on the hardcover books went down in qulaity (almost like they were just using a color laser printer), and today we received five books in the mail and the quality is terrible. Also, two of the books have the "Made on a Mac" page in the back (like iPhoto).
It seemed to me (since I have had books printed by both Aperture & iPhoto) that the older Aperture books were of higher quality than the iPhoto books. Now, it seems as though they are one-in-the-same and our studio cannot have this lower quality book - it is not up to our standards.
I would gladly use another manufacturer, but every other design software out there for each respective company is terrible and takes three times as long for us to design a single book. I LOVE the integration of the books in Aperture and it makes our timeline two weeks shorter with our clients and that is what sets us apart from other studios in this town.
Has anyone else had these problems or noticed the change/degridation in the quality of the books?
Thanks!

C'mon Apple,
There is no way you don't know that the quality of your "sticker" covers is horrible. Maybe when you first launched your book service, but it has now been years. I just received three books, and all three have tacky, peeling front stickers.
Please give us an alternative, even if it costs more, that allows us to show our work with pride. After spending thousands and thousands on computers, software, cameras, lenses, etc., the cover of the books drags that first impression into the ground.
Thanks!

I am still having problems with my music videos freezing (all purchased from iTunes) since the update. Have restarted, rebooted etc. and it is worse than before. Help! Spent a lot of money on these and they won't play properly.

I am still having problems with my music videos freezing (all purchased on iTunes) since the update. The first day of the update, no problems...played 6 hours of music videos and no freezing. Today...every single video froze!!! So frustrating! I rebooted, restarted, powered down and no help. I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.

I don't know how to do this without using a mouse point.
This may help, http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000542.htm
As for question #2, you call tell how iTunes is sorting songs by the up or down arrow next to a header name.
Even the original order that the songs were entered or date added or last played can be sorted.
Much easier with a mouse or touch pad.

New itunes & Firmware - Outlook calendar sync is now worse than before!

I have tried everything in the latest help file. Uninstalled and reinstalled new itunes and firmware. Reset sync history. Turned off all other add-ins except Apple, etc., etc.
At least before, a Cal sync would at least get the holidays from Outlook 2007. Now the iPhone calendar is COMPLETELY blank.
What is going on with this. Does anyone have their calendar synching? Is this a problem for all users on XP or just some?
I cannot believe Apple would let this go soooo long without a proper fix.
DD

Hey PTBoater,
Well, I finally got the Calendar in Outlook 2007 to sync properly!
I have Win XP with Office 2007.
It seems there must have been something corrupt within the Calendar, in the .pst file. Not sure what but the more I thought about that .pst file, I have been using it for many years and continually moving it to my next system or software version.
Despite the fact that I deleted just about all of the entries in the Calendar and just kept the ones from the last month. Still did not work.
Plan A
Go into Outlook and print out your calendar, as far as necessary. Unfortunately, you will have to rebuild your calendar manually. The calendar printout will assist in recalling the date, time and purpose, etc. When I did mine, I simply worried about upcoming appointments and therefore, it was not a big issue. I later added holidays in Outlook, using the holiday add function and that worked fine and sync’d ok.
Go to your .pst file. If it is in its default location it will be C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook.
I copied the original .pst file and made a duplicate copy and left them in their original directory. Then I renamed both files, to oldoutlook.ddd and oldoutlook1.ddd so Outlook could not find them any longer.
I then opened Outlook 2007 and of course it gave me an error about not being able to find the .pst file and it suggested a new .pst file, etc. I accepted the new file.
Then, I went back to the original .pst file and renamed it back to what it was normally, I believe was outlook.pst
I then opened Outlook (which opened the new file, not any of the old files) and used the File>Import, to selectively import all of the items, except the calendar.
Unfortunately, this made the process a little long but I was able to finish it in about 30 minutes.
How-To
In Outlook 2007, Choose File>Import & Export. Choose "Import from another program or file." Click Next. When you get to the “Import a File” dialog box, choose “Personal Folder Files (.pst)”. Click Next.
Then Browse to the location of your .pst file. If it is in its default location it will be C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook.
Once you get to the Outlook structure, you will notice many folders, as part of your .pst file. DO NOT choose the first listing, which will import everything within your .pst file. Rather, go down the list and selectively import one item at a time, being careful to NOT import the Calendar.
Once you have completed this, you can begin re-building your calendar. A lengthy work-around but it is nice the sync is finally working.
Hope this helps!

Install or Reinstall OS X from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
      left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
      the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
      the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
           because it is three times faster than wireless.

Edge signal bars are worse than 3G

Hello there,
I just purchased my 8GB iPhone 3G from Rogers few days ago. I've been using the 3G for a while and my connection is excellent, I always get 5 bars and not seen it drop once yet. I knew that the 3G drains my battery down so I decided to turn it off and run on EDGE network.
I was surprised because my edge never stayed at 5 bars since the time I've tried it. it always began fluctuating from 5 to 2 and usually just stays at around 3 bars. I've also done a restore on my phone hoping it would fix it, but unfortunately it did not. For most people it's the opposite like the 3G is worse than EDGE.
So I was wondering if its a hardware problem or is 3G where I live seems to support the iPhone much better than EDGE? So should I keep it on instead of EDGE then even though it would drain the battery quicker?

I just switched to EDGE and I have full 5 bars but don't know if that's generally the case. I'm rarely on EDGE, since at home, school or work, there's WiFi and otherwise I use 3G.
Btw, Roger's 3G coverage has significantly improved over the past two months, as initially it was so unreliable I was on EDGE pretty much all the time.

The quality of built-in camera on macbook pro with retina display is far worse than any other mac. Why?

I just got the new macbook pro with retina display like a week ago and I've been noticing that the quality of the built-in camera on it is so bad.
It's even worse than my 2009 iMac or my sister's 2012 13" macbook pro. I don't get why this is a facetime HD built-in camera when i can obviously see that is not even near HD. Or is it just my computer. Do i have to bring it to the apple store??

it's advertised 720p so yes it is the same as all the other MBP. it may just be the resolution of your monitor is stretching the pixels. Don't worry about bringing it to the apple store.

USELESS ONLINE HELP FACILITIES
For all the amazing productivity aids that APPLE offers the world I have to report that their online support service is worse than useless and has recently been the source of immense time wasting and irritation.
Incident 1. Since many months attempts to download new and updated APPs produced a response – Apple ID Disabled. I had no time to consult an APPLE Store due to work in distant lands. When I finally visited yesterday I was told that as my IPAD has been reported as stolen, and APPLE in its wisdom had blocked its usage! I am not sure how they became so misinformed and nobody every advised me while with a few swift moves APPLE could have located me by email address or SKYPE.
Incident 2. Once the above anomaly had been fixed I tried to down load a newspaper and diligently input my address, credit card number and personal data. Repeatedly I was advised that my Credit Card was invalid and my postal code was incorrect! Really!
I was left to guess that having moved from UK to the US I should have advised APPLE! Not being told of this requirement brought about a second visit to APPLE Store in the same day to waste both mine and their time with a routine anomaly. How parochial in the context of a globalized world!
In each case I tried to resolve the issues using online access to a help line and by calling by phone at the numbers on the APPLE Website. In each of four separate occasions I diligently went through the routine and ended up with a message that thanked me for contacting Apple followed by a polite ‘Good Bye’!
In desperation I went to an Apple Store for the second time in a day as it is close to where I live when I am not working. On both occasions I was courteously attended to by Apple Staff.
However, my work is usually far away from the US and it is generally many thousands of miles to the nearest Apple Store therefore online help is viewed as imperative if one is to resolve issues away from home.
Why can Apple not provide a clearly marked EMAIL address and Telephone number at a Help Desk with real people to respond to requests for help? It would cost nothing in relative terms and might restore my high level of anti-APPLE sentiment that these two recent events have provoked.

Why can Apple not provide a clearly marked EMAIL address and Telephone number at a Help Desk with real people to respond to requests for help?
If that is your question, the answer is at the bottom right of this web page. It is clearly marked "Contact Us" and is the best way, really the only way, to contact Apple.
If there were a publicly posted email address for concerns such as yours, it would be quickly filled with spam in about three minutes, thereby becoming instantly useless to you and everyone else. Apple would need to change it hourly, if not more often. That is also the reason you ought not to post your name, location, and what appears to be your iPad's serial number on this publicly viewable website.
Apple does not respond here and I can find no other questions for your fellow Apple users to answer.

Premiere Elements 8 is worse than useless to me

I have to admit, I can't explain why I'm still trying to make Premiere Elements 8 work. I should have given up and moved to another software program by now. I've been on the phone twice with the Customer Service group in India, for over half an hour at a time. Each time they insist they've solved my problem, yet it keeps getting worse. Now, I'm not only having uncontrolled and unexplained system crashes, but hours and hours of work are now corrupted and totally wasted.
Here is a list of the problems I'm having:
1. The primary problem is that Premiere Elements 8 crashes and shuts down in the middle of work with no warning or notice. It happens after about 3-5 minutes of using the software, so I've gotten in the habit of saving my work every time I do anything, no matter how small. Needless to say, you can chart my progress with a sundial. Tedious does not do the process justice.
2. When I save the work, I will get a Project Save Error. It tells me to save to a new location. Of course, it won't let me do that, so I have to exit the program without saving my most recent work. Again, this happens about every 3-5 minutes.
3. Occasionally, when I'm working with a timeline, as I move the cursor up to the menus at the top of the screen, if I am selecting the File or Edit menu, the timeline will scroll left on its own - if I move the cursor off of the Edit or File menu, the scrolling stops.
4. When I am working on a timeline, I will get a "System Memory Running Very Low" warning, along with advice to save immediately and proceed with caution. Of course, when I get that warning, it is already too late, as any attempt to save the work causes the program to crash.
5. Today, we've seen a new thing, and it's completely destroyed two entire projects. When I try to open projects I've previously worked on, large sections of them appear as blood red with the words "Media Offline" in a number of languages. These red sections appear not only on the organizer, but in the timeline as well. It's as if Premiere Elements 8 can't find the media I copied into the timeline even though I've been working on the project for days and have not moved the media from the folder where it always sits.
Saving work after every task - no matter how small - makes doing anything painfully slow and mind-numbingly tedious, but at least it worked - until today. Now, hours and hours of work have been rendered absolutely wasted. I've never encountered a software program with so many fundamental problems. It's almost as if it was created by amateurs. I can honestly say that it does nothing well.
As I said, I've been on the phone twice now with the problem solving group in India, and while they are very nice and courteous, they've done nothing to solve the problems. In fact, the problems have become worse, although I can't say it's because of anything they've done. Both times, they've assured me that they've fixed the problems, and the software works fine while I am on the phone with them - for about 2 or 3 minutes. But then, it works fine for me for the same length of time.
To be honest, I'm not sure why I would call them back. I'll spend an hour clicking on tabs only to be assured that my problems have been solved. Then, 5 minutes later I'm dealing with the same situation - or worse.
I've tried every solution listed on-line for the crashes. I have the 8.01 update, I have the latest video drivers, I've done all of the steps it recommends. Every day that I use the software, it performs worse than the day before.
I'm not sure why I'm writing this - I think I've reached the end of my rope. I doubt these problems can be fixed - maybe I just have a defective copy, who knows. But, I am very close to demanding my money back and saying goodbye to Adobe products for the future.
Thanks for the forum in which to vent.

This is aimed at Premiere Pro, but may help

Video output quality worse than AppleTv 1

Anyone else who owns an atv1 found video looks worse?
I'm not talking about actual video playback but the video output on 2
AppleTV1 looked great through my plasma even though it's not full HD
1080p over hdmi on 1 scaled by the plasma consistently looked best, with crisp but smooth edges to text and GUI.
Atv2 720p over hdmi looks consistently worse - it all looks oversharpened and over contrasty, with text in particular looking very jagged as well as the spinning timer wheel looking pixellated now
Watching a slideshow there seemed to be visible artefacts as some images moved or scaled whereas atv1 just looked silky smooth
Maybe the current GUI text and icons are not as smooth, maybe less antialiasing, poorer quality gpu
Maybe my plasma downscales 720p worse than 1080p - I need to check on the full HD set in another room but first impressions are not that good
Video playback seems strangely artificial too, almost as though the frame rate has been sped up slightly
Weird as the set should handle 50/60Hz without issue

So a few days in it's growing on me.
There's definitely something different about menu graphics but actual video quality for playback is excellent though I'm not sure it's not dropping/catching up frames at times.
I've watched some HD movie trailers and they look excellent.
Video navigation is considerably improved over ATV1, with FF / RW actually working reasonably well when they didn't before over the same connection. Changing chapters gives immediate starts and buffering seems considerably quicker - at least some of this must be due to newer hardware.
I don't like the top level menu much and preferred the older system but you can pretty much stay in Computers to watch own content.
Video playlists don't work properly which is poor but it took ages to get them enabled on ATV1.
There are many glitches but hopefully they'll get ironed out over time.

If I host with Business Catalyst, will search engines fine me any "better" or Worse than go daddy?

If I host with Business Catalyst, will search engines fine me any "better" or Worse than go daddy?
I am new to Muse and love it! Not sure if the hosting site matters one way or the other.

Liam has some great points. Some other things to consider is that google (just talking one search engine at the moment) more than likely know what a BC site looks like and is made of and would know the best ways to index it assuming you use some of the features of BC and not just straight up HTML.
Godaddy is straight up HTML so as far as indexing goes I think BC has an advantage as it is a known system much like wordpress.
As far as IP blocks, bad neighbours, etc only google will know that information and it's not easy to say which is better.
For example if someone on BC spam's there website everywhere or engages in dodgy SEO practises, spambots etc. Their site is going to be pushed down, if you happen to be on the same IP or close to that site you will be in a "bad neighbourhood" and it may affect your site in the short term. This is the case for ANY hosting solution, so take it all with a gain of salt.
