  • Patterns drop down menu stopped working

    Suddenly I cant's see the patterns I've defined. This is what I get:

    The way I read your question, everything was working normally until this happened. I like to check the Fill dialog first, but the answer is usually the Preferences file that often does get corrupted.
    Mark the answer correct to close the case.

  • Drop down box

    I am using ACrobatX pro.  I am a determined novice and any help is appreciated.
    Before I added any code I created my PATTERN drop-down box and my ColorSelect drop-down box. For the ColorSelect box, which is the one I want to vary depending on the Pattern selected, I have not entered any items since this is what I want the JavaScript to do after the pattern is selected.
    Next I went to TASKS, OTHER TASKS, JAVASCRIPTS, DOCUMENT JAVASCRIPTS
    I used the article Programming List and Combo fields in Acrobat and LiveCycle forms - Part 1
    Thom Parker – September 18, 2007 which I was referred to by GKaiseril, and added the following code which I modified slightly changing the field names and eliminating the reference to a 2nd field for price.
    SetColorEntries()
    var oPatternColors = {
    Alamos: [
    ["Champagne"],
    ["Winter White"]
    Alana: [
    ["Champagne"],
    ["Winter White"]
    Altoona: [
    ["Barley"],
    ["Marble"],
    ["Winter White"]
    Ama: [
    ["Marble"]
    Anlu: [
    ["Champagne"],
    ["Marble"]
    function SetColorEntries() {
    if(event.willCommit) {
    // Get the new color list from the Pattern List
    // Since the selection is being committed,
    // event.value contains the pattern name
    var lst = oPatternColors[event.value];
    // Clear the Colors list if there are no colors for the selected pattern
    if( (lst != null) && (lst.length > 0) )
                                                          this.getField("ColorSelect").setItems(lst);
    else
                                                          this.getField("ColorSelect").clearItems();
    Then I selected the PATTTERN drop-down box properties, and picked Actions. Under select trigger I thought Mouse exit (kind of like after update) made the most sense. For select action I picked  run a Javascript. Then in the pop up window where it says Create and Edit Java Scripts I typed SetColorEntries();
    The  system accepted my code; however, when I try to run it, nothing happens. Well actually I get the dreaded error beep.
    I am hoping someone sees what I am doing wrong, and can offer some help. This order form will be very useful to my company and once I get it, I am hoping to apply to various other order forms I am creating for our customers
    Thanks

    Use the inspector for the cell you want the "Pop-Up" menu. Select Cell Format "Pop-Up". Then enter the list of items required. You can copy this cell to other cells with the same requirements.

  • Why Cant My Monitor playback 24fps Footage smoothley

    Hi All
    Ive been tearing my hair out today. My boss seems to thin I am able to preview an edit project, with a sequence setting of 24fps in my external Monitor. I have two monitors, one a broadcast CRT the other a Sony Bravio Plasma.
    I dissagree tho, I thought you could only watch 24fps smoothly in the broadcast monitor IF you convert it to 25fps first. Am I right?
    When I try to play back 24fps in the broadcast monitor it skips the last frame of each second, I assume the missing 25 frames, ie, its looking for 25 frames, and is only finding 24.
    Is there an external playback setting in FCP 6 that will allow me to view 24fps smoothly in the broadcast crt without having to export and convrt to 25fps?
    Cheers
    P.S Do any other editors out there hate being clicked at by clients in an edit as much as I do?
    haha

    Since your SD broadcast monitor works only with a standard 25fps PAL signal, FCP must supply this. If your sequence is an SD 24fps edit, then you have two options. You can watch with the current nasty 1 frame dupe or you can use the 24@25 pulldown option which will smooth the playback a lot more while maintaining a 24fps playback speed.
    To do this, go into the FCP 'System Settings' then on the 'Playback Control' tab select '24@25 Pulldown' from the 'Pulldown Pattern' drop down menu.
    This is the standard method for viewing FCP PAL 24fps sequences on external SD monitors.
    Of course if you are working in HD other options become available to monitor at true 24fps.

  • PSE4: Creating Patterns; Using Drop Shadow

    Hello:
    1. I been making a few patterns using the Define Pattern from selection. The problem is, I'm getting hard edges and not a smooth flow pattern when I apply it. What is the trick in getting to make patterns that flow smoothly?
    2. I been using the Layer Styles Drop Shadow. It only seems to drop shadow bottom left. Is there a way to have the drop shadow in other directions?
    XP Pro SP2
    Thanks, Tony C

    Thank You Wendy and Terri for the information. It's what I was after and more. Found something new again that I wasnt aware of. Ctrl+I and matching the size of the mask photo to the main photo and centering it as well. Really a ton of other info as well that will take some time to digest.
    Again Thanks-A-Bunch!
    Hmmm, hope I can ask one more question. Is there a way to clear the "Open Recently Edit File" list? I can set it to show "zero", but that just hides the listing. When I enter 5 again, they show up again. I like to keep a listing of 5, but also like to clear it and have it start over again.

  • Our IPAD was dropped and now has a blue screen with little line pattern on the very left side (like a margin) - any chance for it's recovery?

    Any solutions for this? Won't turn off - letting the battery die at this point to see if a restart will help. Any ways to save at this point? Thanks in advance for any tips or help!

    Nevermind!!! We figured out how to fix it! Home button + OFF button for 30 seconds - restarted and we are down to 8 lives!!! YAY!

  • File dialog with multiple custom patterns

    I am in need of being able to user select multple file patterns (*.bin, *.exe...) in a file dialosg similar to the express File Dialog VI where it lists the directory and allows the user to select multiple files from a windows dir listing.  The express VI has a patterns input that takes  multiple patterns separated by a semimcolon but there appears to not be a way of providing a ring control for file type and letting the user select the pattern that he wants to filter the directory listing with.  I.E> > If the user wants to only load files that are *.bin, he only wants to view them in the listing.  How can I do this without mutliple dialog boxes?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Off-the-shelf might be something like a list box that allows multiple selections.  Or you could drop a cluster of booleans on the FP and parse the selected file types and place ;'s between them.  You could have multiple string controls that the user inputs the file extension and then you programmatically insert a ; I can't think of something off-the-shelf that easily does what you are looking for, these suggestions require a little bit of programming but should get you off to a good start at least.
    This is the approach for choosing any desired types from a list.  If you want to choose only one, use a ring or combo box or enum...  Much simpler when only choosing one of many.

  • How can i view and apply new custom patterns without going to preset manager? i had this facility but have now lost it

    how can i view and apply new custom patterns without going to preset manager? i had this facility but have now lost it.  i design patterns but am fairly new to photoshop. i used to be able to click on the drop down menu in patterns in the 'fill' box but cannot now do this.  have i inadvertently clicked on something to turn this facility off?  i now have to go to 'preset manager' and manually move my new design to the first box and click 'done' so that i can use it.

    Which version of photoshop are you using?
    After you define a custom pattern it should be added to the bottom of whatever patterns are already loaded.
    For example, if you define a custom pattern and then go to Edit>Fill>Pattern, the newly defined pattern should have been added to the existing loaded patterns.

  • Problem with date pattern

    Hi all,
    I have a little maddening problem with oracle.jbo.domain.Date.
    I have a viewObject with an attribute (fechaCompra) type Date and I need the time too so in controlHints I have defined:
    format type: Simple Date
    Format: yyyy-MM-dd 'at' hh:mm:ss
    Right, on runTime now i see ok the data and in the inputDate appears the calendar and the hour .
    But when I take the value of this attribute, to call a void that takes a oracle.jbo.domain.Date type, raises an error when parses the value of the atribute.
    All this doesn't happen when in the view object the controlHints are defined like this:
    format type: Simple Date
    Format: yyyy-MM-dd
    Any idea?
    Thanks in advance,
    Rowan

    hello,
    My guess would be that when you drop your formatted date into the methode the parse function is called from String to date, this work with no time attached.
    But fails with the time attached. I would double check the specific class you pass to each method to be sure they are correct.
    hat you mention parse gives an even bigger hint that you are using the parse function from oracle.jbo.domain.Date, which takes a string.
    This function will fail with your custom patterns.
    //get the value
    String value = .....
    //Not 100% sure if the at needs to be escaped or not
    DateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd at hh:mm:ss");
    //Prolly needs a try catch, writing this by hand
    java.util.Date utilDate = sdf.parse(value);
    java.sql.Date sqlDate = new java.sql.Date(utilDate.getTime());
    oracle.jbo.domain.Date jboDate = new oracle.jbo.domain.Date(sqlDate);
    //pass to your method-Anton

    Sorry...here is the roadmap to how a call is being placed.
    faxserver==h323==2811==fxo==vg248==CUCM==PSTN GW==PRI==PSTN=====Fax machine.
    I've figured out that there was no Clock line on the controler and the 2811 was using the default dial-peer 0 instead the inbound dialpeer. the problem changed from dropping the call (or timeout) to Line is Busy and the fax server drops the call after 2 secons.

  • In Yosemite, dropping files in and out of folders on my desktop causes a freeze.  Must relaunch the finder window.

    After the first few days of operating my new computer, Yosemite began to develop strange glitches. I tried to drag a folder from a Finder window. It zoomed upward on Desktop and stayed where it stopped—and nothing worked. Everything froze. The cursor left a jittery trail of ghost images within a Finder window. We had to relaunch Finder. This became a pattern: no dragging-dropping to move files. Only within a Finder window was it possible.
    A day or two later, I began to notice—with increasing seriousness and frequency—open windows stuttering when I tried to move them around the desktop. They moved, but with halts and stutters.
    When we opened Activity Monitor and saw 6 BG of 8BG memory used, we figured this is serious.  After an EtreCheck we noticed we had to update a version of FlashPlayer, which we did.  But our problem is still here.  Help!
    One probably rare item used with this computer is a Maltron Keyboard.  This keyboard is made to be used with Macs and I found no issues relating to Yosemite on their website, but just thought I'd mention it.

    Mac users often ask whether they should install "anti-virus" software. The answer usually given on ASC is "no." The answer is right, but it may give the wrong impression that there is no threat from what are loosely called "viruses." There  is a threat, and you need to educate yourself about it.
    1. This is a comment on what you should—and should not—do to protect yourself from malicious software ("malware") that circulates on the Internet and gets onto a computer as an unintended consequence of the user's actions. It does not apply to software, such as keystroke loggers, that may be installed deliberately by an intruder who has hands-on access to the computer, or who has been able to take control of it remotely. That threat is in a different category, and there's no easy way to defend against it.
    The comment is long because the issue is complex. The key points are in sections 5, 6, and 10.
    OS X now implements three layers of built-in protection specifically against malware, not counting runtime protections such as execute disable, sandboxing, system library randomization, and address space layout randomization that may also guard against other kinds of exploits.
    2. All versions of OS X since 10.6.7 have been able to detect known Mac malware in downloaded files, and to block insecure web plugins. This feature is transparent to the user. Internally Apple calls it "XProtect."
    The malware recognition database used by XProtect is automatically updated; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders.
    The following caveats apply to XProtect:
    ☞ It can be bypassed by some third-party networking software, such as BitTorrent clients and Java applets.
    ☞ It only applies to software downloaded from the network. Software installed from a CD or other media is not checked.
    As new versions of OS X are released, it's not clear whether Apple will indefinitely continue to maintain the XProtect database of older versions such as 10.6. The security of obsolete system versions may eventually be degraded. Security updates to the code of obsolete systems will stop being released at some point, and that may leave them open to other kinds of attack besides malware.
    3. Starting with OS X 10.7.5, there has been a second layer of built-in malware protection, designated "Gatekeeper" by Apple. By default, applications and Installer packages downloaded from the network will only run if they're digitally signed by a developer with a certificate issued by Apple. Software certified in this way hasn't necessarily been tested by Apple, but you can be reasonably sure that it hasn't been modified by anyone other than the developer. His identity is known to Apple, so he could be held legally responsible if he distributed malware. That may not mean much if the developer lives in a country with a weak legal system (see below.)
    Gatekeeper doesn't depend on a database of known malware. It has, however, the same limitations as XProtect, and in addition the following:
    ☞ It can easily be disabled or overridden by the user.
    ☞ A malware attacker could get control of a code-signing certificate under false pretenses, or could simply ignore the consequences of distributing codesigned malware.
    ☞ An App Store developer could find a way to bypass Apple's oversight, or the oversight could fail due to human error.
    Apple has taken far too long to revoke the codesigning certificates of some known abusers, thereby diluting the value of Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. Those lapses don't involve App Store products, however.
    For the reasons given, App Store products, and—to a lesser extent—other applications recognized by Gatekeeper as signed, are safer than others, but they can't be considered absolutely safe. "Sandboxed" applications may prompt for access to private data, such as your contacts, or for access to the network. Think before granting that access. Sandbox security is based on user input. Never click through any request for authorization without thinking.
    4. Starting with OS X 10.8.3, a third layer of protection has been added: a "Malware Removal Tool" (MRT). MRT runs automatically in the background when you update the OS. It checks for, and removes, malware that may have evaded the other protections via a Java exploit (see below.) MRT also runs when you install or update the Apple-supplied Java runtime (but not the Oracle runtime.) Like XProtect, MRT is effective against known threats, but not against unknown ones. It notifies you if it finds malware, but otherwise there's no user interface to MRT.
    5. The built-in security features of OS X reduce the risk of malware attack, but they are not, and never will be, complete protection. Malware is a problem of human behavior, not machine behavior, and no technological fix alone is going to solve it. Trusting software to protect you will only make you more vulnerable.
    The best defense is always going to be your own intelligence. With the possible exception of Java exploits, all known malware circulating on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of so-called "Trojan horses," which can only have an effect if the victim is duped into running them. The threat therefore amounts to a battle of wits between you and Internet criminals. If you're better informed than they think you are, you'll win. That means, in practice, that you always stay within a safe harbor of computing practices. How do you know when you're leaving the safe harbor? Below are some warning signs of danger.
    Software from an untrustworthy source
    ☞ Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, doesn't come directly from the developer’s website. Do not trust an alert from any website to update Flash, or your browser, or any other software. A genuine alert that Flash is outdated and blocked is shown on this support page. Follow the instructions on the support page in that case. Otherwise, assume that the alert is fake and someone is trying to scam you into installing malware. If you see such alerts on more than one website, ask for instructions.
    ☞ Software of any kind is distributed via BitTorrent, or Usenet, or on a website that also distributes pirated music or movies.
    ☞ Rogue websites such as Softonic, Soft32, and CNET Download distribute free applications that have been packaged in a superfluous "installer."
    ☞ The software is advertised by means of spam or intrusive web ads. Any ad, on any site, that includes a direct link to a download should be ignored.
    Software that is plainly illegal or does something illegal
    ☞ High-priced commercial software such as Photoshop is "cracked" or "free."
    ☞ An application helps you to infringe copyright, for instance by circumventing the copy protection on commercial software, or saving streamed media for reuse without permission. All "YouTube downloaders" are in this category, though not all are necessarily malicious.
    Conditional or unsolicited offers from strangers
    ☞ A telephone caller or a web page tells you that you have a “virus” and offers to help you remove it. (Some reputable websites did legitimately warn visitors who were infected with the "DNSChanger" malware. That exception to this rule no longer applies.)
    ☞ A web site offers free content such as video or music, but to use it you must install a “codec,” “plug-in,” "player," "downloader," "extractor," or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown one.
    ☞ You win a prize in a contest you never entered.
    ☞ Someone on a message board such as this one is eager to help you, but only if you download an application of his choosing.
    ☞ A "FREE WI-FI !!!" network advertises itself in a public place such as an airport, but is not provided by the management.
    ☞ Anything online that you would expect to pay for is "free."
    Unexpected events
    ☞ A file is downloaded automatically when you visit a web page, with no other action on your part. Delete any such file without opening it.
    ☞ You open what you think is a document and get an alert that it's "an application downloaded from the Internet." Click Cancel and delete the file. Even if you don't get the alert, you should still delete any file that isn't what you expected it to be.
    ☞ An application does something you don't expect, such as asking for permission to access your contacts, your location, or the Internet for no obvious reason.
    ☞ Software is attached to email that you didn't request, even if it comes (or seems to come) from someone you trust.
    I don't say that leaving the safe harbor just once will necessarily result in disaster, but making a habit of it will weaken your defenses against malware attack. Any of the above scenarios should, at the very least, make you uncomfortable.
    6. Java on the Web (not to be confused with JavaScript, to which it's not related, despite the similarity of the names) is a weak point in the security of any system. Java is, among other things, a platform for running complex applications in a web page, on the client. That was always a bad idea, and Java's developers have proven themselves incapable of implementing it without also creating a portal for malware to enter. Past Java exploits are the closest thing there has ever been to a Windows-style virus affecting OS X. Merely loading a page with malicious Java content could be harmful.
    Fortunately, client-side Java on the Web is obsolete and mostly extinct. Only a few outmoded sites still use it. Try to hasten the process of extinction by avoiding those sites, if you have a choice. Forget about playing games or other non-essential uses of Java.
    Java is not included in OS X 10.7 and later. Discrete Java installers are distributed by Apple and by Oracle (the developer of Java.) Don't use either one unless you need it. Most people don't. If Java is installed, disable it—not JavaScript—in your browsers.
    Regardless of version, experience has shown that Java on the Web can't be trusted. If you must use a Java applet for a task on a specific site, enable Java only for that site in Safari. Never enable Java for a public website that carries third-party advertising. Use it only on well-known, login-protected, secure websites without ads. In Safari 6 or later, you'll see a padlock icon in the address bar when visiting a secure site.
    Stay within the safe harbor, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can practically be. The rest of this comment concerns what you should not do to protect yourself.
    7. Never install any commercial "anti-virus" (AV) or "Internet security" products for the Mac, as they are all worse than useless. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use one of the free security apps in the Mac App Store—nothing else.
    Why shouldn't you use commercial AV products?
    ☞ To recognize malware, the software depends on a database of known threats, which is always at least a day out of date. This technique is a proven failure, as a major AV software vendor has admitted. Most attacks are "zero-day"—that is, previously unknown. Recognition-based AV does not defend against such attacks, and the enterprise IT industry is coming to the realization that traditional AV software is worthless.
    ☞ Its design is predicated on the nonexistent threat that malware may be injected at any time, anywhere in the file system. Malware is downloaded from the network; it doesn't materialize from nowhere. In order to meet that nonexistent threat, commercial AV software modifies or duplicates low-level functions of the operating system, which is a waste of resources and a common cause of instability, bugs, and poor performance.
    ☞ By modifying the operating system, the software may also create weaknesses that could be exploited by malware attackers.
    ☞ Most importantly, a false sense of security is dangerous.
    8. An AV product from the App Store, such as "ClamXav," has the same drawback as the commercial suites of being always out of date, but it does not inject low-level code into the operating system. That doesn't mean it's entirely harmless. It may report email messages that have "phishing" links in the body, or Windows malware in attachments, as infected files, and offer to delete or move them. Doing so will corrupt the Mail database. The messages should be deleted from within the Mail application.
    An AV app is not needed, and cannot be relied upon, for protection against OS X malware. It's useful, if at all, only for detecting Windows malware, and even for that use it's not really effective, because new Windows malware is emerging much faster than OS X malware.
    Windows malware can't harm you directly (unless, of course, you use Windows.) Just don't pass it on to anyone else. A malicious attachment in email is usually easy to recognize by the name alone. An actual example:
    London Terror Moovie.avi [124 spaces] Checked By Norton Antivirus.exe
    You don't need software to tell you that's a Windows trojan. Software may be able to tell you which trojan it is, but who cares? In practice, there's no reason to use recognition software unless an organizational policy requires it. Windows malware is so widespread that you should assume it's in every email attachment until proven otherwise. Nevertheless, ClamXav or a similar product from the App Store may serve a purpose if it satisfies an ill-informed network administrator who says you must run some kind of AV application. It's free and it won't handicap the system.
    The ClamXav developer won't try to "upsell" you to a paid version of the product. Other developers may do that. Don't be upsold. For one thing, you should not pay to protect Windows users from the consequences of their choice of computing platform. For another, a paid upgrade from a free app will probably have all the disadvantages mentioned in section 7.
    9. It seems to be a common belief that the built-in Application Firewall acts as a barrier to infection, or prevents malware from functioning. It does neither. It blocks inbound connections to certain network services you're running, such as file sharing. It's disabled by default and you should leave it that way if you're behind a router on a private home or office network. Activate it only when you're on an untrusted network, for instance a public Wi-Fi hotspot, where you don't want to provide services. Disable any services you don't use in the Sharing preference pane. All are disabled by default.
    10. As a Mac user, you don't have to live in fear that your computer may be infected every time you install software, read email, or visit a web page. But neither can you assume that you will always be safe from exploitation, no matter what you do. Navigating the Internet is like walking the streets of a big city. It can be as safe or as dangerous as you choose to make it. The greatest harm done by security software is precisely its selling point: it makes people feel safe. They may then feel safe enough to take risks from which the software doesn't protect them. Nothing can lessen the need for safe computing practices.

  • Need copper drop line installed at a new home I bought.

    I bought a new house a little while back and inquired in email if my DSL would work through FIOS. I was informed it wouldn't but to call their service center and I would most likely be offered a deal, etc. I call and get an unfriendly\unhelpful rep. The price she offers me is still more than double of what I currently pay.  I send the below email:
    ==========================================
    Hello,
     Let me start by saying that I have been a Verizon customer with the same phone number since I was about 18 years old....I am now 44. I've only had to call Verizon a couple of times during that time frame and when I did, found them to be friendly and helpful.
      Recently however I bought a new house and wanted my DSL transferred over to my new property. I'm being told that I cannot do this as the previous owners had FIOS installed there. It seems while checking into things online that the copper drop wire can indeed be replaced back if you want to go back and forth arguing with Verizon for three months or more. I even saw an article online from a Verizon rep stating that he doesn't see why someone would want to go back to copper but if someone bought a new home and wanted the copper line put back in, that they would do so at no charge. So I am not sure why I was told this cannot be done previously.
     Anyhow, I called a Verizon rep last Wednesday morning around 10:30am. I wish I would have written her name down and I could be mistaken but I think she might have said her name was Samantha? Either way, I thought she would be more than willing to work with me but I did not find her very friendly or helpful at all.  Verizon is asking me to get FIOS....which I DO NOT want. If you are going to refuse to re-run the copper line at my new property then I ask that you at least grant me FIOS service for the contract I have for my DSL. The women I spoke with said the bottom of the rung FIOS speed would cost me (edited)! That's outrageous! That's more than double of what I am paying now for something that I don't even want. I am a single man and am the only one using my internet connection. I just basically check email, Facebook, pay some bills online and watch a few YouTube videos. That's all. I find the speed of my DSL to be perfectly acceptable. I see no reason why Version cannot give me their slowest speed FIOS for the price of what I currently pay. I've been a dedicated customer for over 25 years and have been happy with my service until now. I feel like my business throughout the years has been unappreciated and for the person on the phone I spoke with, they didn't seem to care at all.
     So in closing....I'm willing to forgo arguing about have the copper drop wire put in if Verizon would be kind enough to honor my current DSL contract with them and put me on their slowest FIOS speed for the same price. It seems fair to me and like a good compromise to keep a long term customer happy. Thank you for your time and concern in this matter. 
    =============================================
    I get a relpy back from a woman called Michelle. She tells me she spoke to her supervisor and gives me some price plans. The amount deal she gives me is more than what I was told previously and is more than an actual mailing (which I still have) that included both phone with internet! I'm then told I should call a service number and ask to speak to a supervisor. I tell her that I already called this number and got no where. She then says she will have a supervisor call me. I inform her that I work third shift, keep an odd sleep pattern which often means sleeping during the day and that I would prefer to handle this through email as it all seems simple enough to me. She tells me that she forwarded my email to a supervisor and they will contact me through email soon. I patiently wait two or three days and no reply. I email again and Michelle responds back with the standard textbook replies and tells me a supervisor will call me in 24-48 hours. I have to go through the whole process again on how I prefer to handle this in email this way we can both get back to one another at both our convience. For me personally, I don't have 24-48 hours waiting for someone to call me, nor do I want to be on the hold for a half hour and then arguing for another half hour or more.  So here I am, for the second time....days after I was told that a supervisor would email me in regards to my problem but yet I have still heard nothing.
      It's not like I chose FIOS myself and now want to go back or anything. I merely bought a new house in which the previous owners wanted FIOS there....not ME. I see no reason why they cannot install the copper drop wire back or at the very least....give me FIOS for the price of my current DSL plan or at least something VERY comparible. I am totally put off that they would treat such a long, good standing customer so non-chalantly. While I would rather stay with Verizon, there are other options out there and I will pursue them if they continue to turn a blind eye to my problem.  You would think that they would want to keep me as a voice\DSL customer (even if it is for a lower contract price) rather then lose me as a customer all together. Should I decide to cancel my Verizon I most certainly will file complaints through the appropriate channels, contact my local TV "On Your Side"  team and possibly go as far as to consider small claims court for not honoring my current contract at my new residence\refusing to install the copper drop wire back. If Verizon truly does care about it's customers then I would love nothing more then to find someone willing to promptly help me in my situation. Thank you.

    Be sure to reset your modem whenever you change what connects to it. Power it down.
    Three days ago I went in to a bestbuy and bought a new 2013 Airport Express.
    Is my Extreme a bad unit?
    Did you purchase an 802.11n Express or an 802.11ac Extreme?
    Either way, update its firmware:
    AirPort Base Station Firmware Update 7.6.4
    or
    AirPort Base Station and AirPort Time Capsule Firmware Update 7.7.1
    respectively.
    If it's still slow, return it. It's not normal.
    Buy directly from Apple. The price is exactly the same and shipping is free.

  • PSE 11 editor has stopped importing from scanner, no longer permits drag and drop, will not permit cropping, and other bizarre issues

    Windows 8.1, PSE 11
    I am having a number of issues including loss of import functionality from scanner, I can't drag and drop photos into the editor any more as well, or at least not after the first one. The crop function stops working after the first couple of photos.  Then some freezing.  A little added crashing.  A plethora of other bizarre issues as well.  This just stated happening a couple of days ago. 
    What I have tried:
    Uninstall/Install. 
    Deleted preferences both before opening Editor (crontrol-alt-delete) and after opening it. 
    Kindly advise.  Thanks!

    Final Update: ...god willing...
    OK! Check it, like I said in previous posts I seemed to have narrowed it down to specific mp3s not converting and playing in their native sample rate which if paired with another sample would give you the "audio midi sync" error and basically screw up your clock! It appears mp3 files converting to mp3 using iTunes would not convert to the correct sample rate if set to something other than 44 in logic and cause this. A tad peculiar Apple iTunes won't work with Apple Logic. I was able to confirm this on two mac's via my friend in Florida. He's running Tiger and tried the same experiment and Booya! Mickey Mouse! It appears this insane week long adventure has came to an end (...god willing) with a super specific unlucky shot in the dark on my part finally revealed to be an perfectly normal function of Logic (obviously one i'm not fond of..) As far as the errors / crashes / system overloads / kernal panics I think I can sort those out to the mackie onyx satellite not being a good choice and trying to add and remove firewire devices in the middle of the sample rate mayhem. Wow! all I can say is, I'm glad it's over
    Wish me a lot of luck in the future.. I'm sure i'll need it!

  • Problems with the Fios 20/5 connection speed in my area dropping down to less than 3mbs.

    I have written out a flyer that I plan to go door to door with. Since I am under contract with Verizon, I am forced to honor my side of the contract. Even if they are allowed to make me pay for a service that I am not completely getting. I am very displeased and as soon as my contract is up, I will change back to My local cable companies all in one that does not require a contract and has no issue such as the one I am having.
    Do you have Verizon Fios Internet?
    Are you on the 20/5 connection?
    If so, you may not be getting the speed you are paying for. I am on a 20/5 connection and when my computer is on for longer than an hour the internet download speed with Verizon Fios starts to slow down until it is below 3mbs. It takes about 24 hours to get down to 3mbs but only about an hour or two to get down to about 6-7mbs when I am paying for 20mbs…
    I have 3 computers in my home that have Windows Vista, Windows XP home edition and Windows Media Edition 2005. All of the computers run into this same exact issue, I have tried every setting I could think of with my 24 years of computer technical experience. I finally took one machine with Windows XP and ran a full format on the hard drive and reinstalled a fresh Windows Xp Operating system onto the hard drive so it is a bare bones OS. This way there is no other software on the machine that could possibly be causing the problem and found that when I connected online through Verizon Fios the machine still ran into the same exact issue. This proves to me that the issue is not on any of my machines.
    Now all of this time my buddy that lives 1.2 miles away from my house has been having the same issue with three computers at his home also. He has Windows Vista on two machines and Windows XP Pro on one.
    When I concluded that it was a Verizon Fios issue, after a few months of trying to get by, researching, diagnosing and losing much information in order to verify it was on Verizon’s side, I contacted technical support at Verizon’s online website. The agent and I went through the regular procedure that anyone would have to go through and I patiently explained what I had done to try to diagnose the issue. The agent came to the conclusion that he could not figure out the problem so he guessed that the Verizon router/modem may be the issue and told me he would send me a new one by mail.
    I received the new Verizon router/modem, installed it and had to call to have it activated. Afterward it still had the same exact issue as the prior router/modem. So now we know it’s not my computers, it’s not the router/modem. My Verizon router/modem is connected right at the Optical Network Terminal (ONT), which is the box that connects the fiber-optics to your home, usually just inside or outside your garage wall. Mine is just outside…
    From here my buddy, who has been having this problem also the entire time, called the local office of Verizon Fios and an installer was setup to come over to his home and trouble shoot the issue. My buddy called me and told me when the installer was headed to his home and I met him at his home to see what the installer found and in hope that my issue would be fixed at the same time. The installer went through the system at his house and was frustrated about not finding the reason for the issue and ready to leave without fixing anything. I simply asked that he stay long enough to see the issue present itself within an hour-hour and a half.
    His laptop itself already showed the speed drop from 20mbs to between 16-17mbs, it was on its way down. He basically told us something that online tech support already stated to me, it is extremely difficult to prove it is on Verizon’s side. In other words it is extremely difficult to prove it, in a way that will convince Verizon to check its own servers, routers and software updates to their own systems. The installer, good guy, couldn’t/wouldn’t stay but we did convince him not to simply drop the issue. He called shop and they sent another installer out to take over the issue.
    The new installer, great guy, got up to speed on what was already done at my buddies home. The first installer, checked and replaced the Verizon router/modem, checked the wiring and splitters. Basically went through the entire system up to the Optical Network Terminal (ONT), the box that connects the fiber-optics to your home. He pulled and replaced the Optical Network Terminal (ONT), thinking that perhaps the unit was compromised. While he was doing this job a tech was called and asked to stop by for assistance with the issue. The tech checked the computers inside and tried to do some settings that the main office informed him to try. I explained to the tech that the same issue was happening at my house, that I went through every setting I could think of and find online to help alleviate the issue. After some shop talk about what I had tried, including the full format and reinstall of the operating system on one of my machines, he just as I came to the conclusion that it couldn’t be with the computers and since everything that had to do with the Verizon Fios system from the street to the end-user computer had been checked, verified and/or replaced, the issue had to be coming from Verizon’s main office.
    The installer had already checked the main at the road that has the 3x2 green service cover on it by the side walk. Everything was in good working order. The tech called the main office to see if my buddy and I were on the same hub, basically a big splitter that continues the service from the main office to the homes, we were not. So that was ruled out…
    My understanding of the system ends there. The only other components I know of are the Main branch’s routers, servers and software.
    Verizon had a new connection speed added to their system, 25/15 about the same time our issue began. So I am guessing that when they updated the system to include this new connection speed they corrupted the software for the 20/5 connection.
    We have been waiting to hear from the tech that was at my buddy’s house, to see if the issue will be dealt with. My buddy has called him a couple of times and he has mentioned that he is trying to get it addressed and to call back if we hadn’t heard from him. He remembered who he and I were and what the issue was, so I believe he is taking it seriously. How far he can move the issue is beyond me…
    I want to add that my buddy and I have been customers with the all in one package from Verizon Fios since their services have moved into our area, about a year and a half… It has only been since about June that this issue has presented itself, before then we were on 7th heaven with the speeds. We couldn’t have been more than happy with the services.
    This issue has caused that to all go afoul, not only do the speeds get down to less than 3mbs but the speed is not smooth at all. Rather the 3mbs speed is stop and go, freezing in between at times, very choppy. Barely usable at times, unless you restart the computers and start over.
    We are hoping that anyone with Verizon Fios Internet Services will keep an eye on their speeds by going to http://speedtest.net and doing tests to verify they are getting the speeds they are paying Verizon for.
    This is what it will take for Verizon to take this issue seriously is to gather everyone on the system that may be having the same issue. I believe it is everyone that is within the 1.2 miles from my house to my buddy’s and will distribute flyers to each and every house in between.
    If you find that your speed is not as fast as it should be please contact me and I will add you to the list, this way we can see exactly how far this problem covers and perhaps it will also help to show a pattern and understanding as to why the issue is present in the first place.
    My contact information,
    I have left this out here, you can contact me on these forums...

    Actually what this came down to was an issue between Windows Vista and an Ethernet Card on one of the machines in each of our local networks.
    Even though our two machines are 6 years apart, we both have the same ethernet adapter on our main desktops. A RealTek RTL8139/810x Family Fast Ethernet Nic. It seems that the adapter does not work at the 20mbs download speeds with Vista. For some reason the adapter does not shut down when the computer does? I don't understand why but it doesn't, it keeps the connection alive. I removed the ethernet cable and pulled the power cable and had my two other computers still connected to the network and found that the issue was resolved. The way I found out was that I used the connections on my main computer to hook up one I had laying around and through further testing found the problem no longer existed...
    Then I realized that my buddy and I installed Windows Vista at about the same time, a couple of months ago. Funny how you can forget an important detail like that. Then I remembered that he had the same identical ethernet adapter as I did, I had noticed that while trouble shooting his computer at his home but didn't think it was important at the time. Until the issue was narrowed down to the adapter, then it all seemed to all fall into line.
    Quite humbling... In the end, anyone who has Windows Vista and this NIC probably will have problems with the 20mbs download speed of the computers on their own networks. I tried the latest Vista driver from RealTek and also tried to roll back the driver, with no success....
    Back at the beginning when we first had fios installed in our homes there wasn't an issue when we had the 10/2 speeds and had Vista. Then we decided to change from Vista to XP because we both were having issues as to what programs you could use and which you could not, shortly after having fios installed. Then when verizon upgraded us to 20/5 we were amazed at the speed and still had no issue because we had XP on our main computers with the RealTek adapters...
    We reinstalled Vista because it seemed like we were having more issues with XP by getting hit with Antivirus2008 and its variants and thought it time for a change back...
    It didn't really hit us that Vista could be the culprit because we both have a laptop in our networks that have had Vista on them from the get go when there were no issues... We also didn't notice just how bad it was right away and over time kind of left the Vista install out of the equation.
    Just strange that one computer can effect all the other computers on the network, even when it is shut down...
    I allowed the other two computers to run 24hours and the issue did not present itself, when I added the main computer with the RealTek adapter back to the mix it reappeared. The Realtek adapter is the only real common denominator between his machine and mine.
    So now we have three choices,
    We can go back to Windows XP.
    We can buy a new NIC or a wireless card to replace the RealTek...
    Hopefully this post will help anyone else who runs into this problem, it has been very frustrating to say the least...
    Thanks to everyone for their help and I apologize for complaining about verizon when it was not a verizon issue. I came to the conclusion that the only part verizon really played was upgrading us to a 20/5 tier which I am thankful for...
    Would be nice if this card was on a list that Verizon support could use to troubleshoot , diagnose or eliminate for future support issues.
