PE7 or PE9 - What problems are with 64 bit or Windows 7

I'm upgrading to a new computer. Are there any bad problems with upgrading to 64 bit - I now have 32 or Windows & - I now have XP. I currently have PE7 and it works great except the hotsync quit working a month after I got it last year. I just use the upload on photoshop.com to go around this. I'd appreciate any help as I'm buying a new system in about a week.

well PSE 7 is compatible with 64 bit as well as with Win 7 machine. Should work well on your system.

FCP 7 and FCP-X on same partition: what problems are caused?

I'm trying to figure out if the performance issues I'm having with FCP-X can be remedied, or if the problem is just buggy software. Apparently, even a newer, faster, more powerful Mac is not the answer, as I read complaints from people with new, suped-up Mac Pros who say the software slows to a crawl. Sounds familiar to me, but I'm on iMacs and a MacBook Pro -- all my Macs are 3-4 years old, and are from that Core 2 Duo era, not Quad Core processors. All my Macs are maxed out at 4 GB or RAM. So I'm certain new machines are in my future. But judging from what some people say about their newer, faster machines, I'm not entirely convinced that it would solve the problem I'm having with FCP-X.
There are numerous threads here reporting sluggish performance (perpetual spinning beach balls) relating to a memory leak or a problem relating to FCP-X's usage of memory (some say it happens worse in Lion). Is that the problem? And if it is, why hasn't Apple addressed it?
Then there is this matter of having FCP-7 (FCP Studio) and FCP-X installed on the same partition. Apple's "Best Practices" article clearly states that it's best to have the two applications installed on separate partitions. Only problem (for me) is, I already had FCP-7 installed on the primary partition. When I purchased FCP-X (the day it first became available), I hadn't read that article, so naturally, the software got installed...you guessed it...on the primary partition. And yes, I could uninstall FCP-7 (FCP Studio), create a new partition, and then re-install it. But I remember how long it took to install FCP Studio (about 4 hours, as I recall), so I've put off the ordeal of heading down that road.
So I'm wondering.......
What problems are known to occur as a result of having FCP-7 and FCP-X installed on the same partition? Would my sluggish performance be related to this? Or would going to the trouble of uninstalling FCP-7, re-partitioning, then re-installing FCP-7 (FCP Studio) into its own play space, only be a waste of time?
What evidence is there that this co-install is the culprit causing sluggish performance?
What ARE the problems that the co-install causes? I've never heard anyone address this specifically.

When FCP X first came out, Apple recommended keeping FCS 3 on a separate partition, so I did that.
Recently I did a clean reinstall or Lion and installed FCS 3 as normal, followed by FCP X 10.0.3.
During the FCP X install, FCP 7 was moved to a new folder called Final Cut Studio.
'Studio' and FCP X now work happily on the same partition - but I have not tried opening both at the same time!
Just now, both applications are the most stable they have ever been.
These are my standard tips for improving performance:
First, check the spec of your iMac against the system requirements:
http://www.apple.com/finalcutpro/specs/
Particularly your graphics card. If it's listed here, it's not suitable:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4664
If you are getting crashes, there is some conflict on the OS. Create a new (admin) user account on your system and use FCP X from there - if it runs a lot better, there's a conflict and a clean install would be recommended.
Other ways to improve performance:
Keep projects to 20 mins or less. If you have a long project, work on 20 min sections then paste these into a final project for export.
Create Optimised media - most camera native files are highly compressed and need a great deal of processor power to play back - particularly if you add titles, filters or effects. ProRes 422 takes up much more hard drive space but is very lightly compressed. It edits and plays back superbly.
Hide Waveforms at all times when you don't need them (both in Browser and Storyline / Timeline). They take up a lot of processor power.
Create folders in the Project and Events libraries and put any projects you are not working on currently, in those folders. This will help a lot.
Move your Projects and Events to an external HD (make sure it's formatted OS Extended - with journaled on or off) and run from there.
Contrary to what Ian said above, the biggest single improvement I saw in performance was when I upgraded the RAM from 8 GB to 16.

Undocumented problem solved with 16-bit pcmcia and irq error

I am having the exact same problem as described in the following post:
"Undocumented problem solved with 16-bit pcmcia and irq error."
"I'm using a DAQ Card (AI-16E-4), which didn't work properly in MAX. MAX complained that the card didn't respond to an interrupt request.
I've had this issue for a while, but dropped it, since NI support told me nothing could be done about it. Meanwhile, a seemingly unrelated problem with a wireless pcmcia network card arose. Cisco had no clue what was wrong with their card either, but I found Microsoft Knowledge Base Article Q327947. It seems that Win2k (they claim SP3 and up) disables ISA to PCI routing, which is what causes this problem.
To fix it, open regedit
and navigate to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Pcmcia\Parameters"
edit or create the DWORD value "DisableIsaToPciRouting" and set the value data to 0.
See Microsoft's article for further details: http://support.microsoft.com/default. aspx?scid=kb;en-us;327947"
The difference is that I am using WinXP and the Regedit fix does not solve the problem. Does anybody know how he was able to continue to use the card before he solved the problem? The card works fine in MAX, but errors out in LabVIEW.

Hey Willy,
Here some additional suggestions that have corrected some PCMCIA difficulties in the past besides the registry edit you suggested.
1. General Troubleshooting to Verify Correct Hardware and Software Installation
Uninstall the PC Card hardware through Device Manager
Remove the PC Card from the laptop
Uninstall the NI-DAQ software
Follow the normal installation instructions (the most important step to remember for Plug-n-Play Operating Systems is to install the software first)
Try the latest service packs for Win 2000 or Win XP
Try the PC Card in a different laptop
Try a different slot in the laptop. On certain laptops PC Cards have been successfully installed in the top PCMCIA slot instead of the bottom.
2. Additional Troubleshootin
g for PC Cards that Return IRQ Conflicts
For E-Series DAQCards:
Update to NI-DAQ 6.9.3 first and then update NI-PAL to version 1.6.1 (included exe file).
Download the attached NI-PAL (ni-cdu1610.exe), and run the installer. When receiving the error "The device is not responding to the first IRQ Level" in Measurement and Automation Explorer, try this method of upgrading NI-PAL
3. Additional Troubleshooting Steps
Try disabling the 3COM adapter, and any other extraneous (for now) devices like any built in serial and parallel ports. The best way to do this is probably to disable them in the BIOS. If the PCMCIA card works properly then try to reconfigure disabled devices one at a time.
Make sure the latest BIOS is installed.
Check for any unusual PCMCIA drivers or other software that might interfere with the PCMCIA driver.
I hope this helps.

What problems are there when upgrading from Snow Leopard to Snow Lion?

I am thinking of getting a new printer, one which uses Apple's air print. I am using Snow Leopard now. What problems will I see when I upgrade to Snow Lion? I also use Parallels, v. 6. Is it worth the hassle to uopgrade just to use air print?

No, not really. But there isn't that big a hassle.
Upgrade Paths to Lion and/or Mountain Lion
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
         7. Xserve (Early 2009)
     Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
     Am I eligible for the free upgrade?
         See Apple - Free OS X Mountain Lion upgrade Program.

How do I determine if the memory problems are with my imac and not the RAM?

I've heard of some vague problems with intel imacs and their memory slots. I'm about to replace (for the 3rd time) RAM, and think I need to test further to see if the problem is with my imac and not the RAM. Right now I put back in the original 2-512 sticks that came with the imac, and the rember test is only showing 594mb (odd amt!) testing OK. But, in "about my mac" it will show as 1gb.
Problems I've had with each set of RAM: occasional KP's, excessive spinning beachballs, sudden closing of apps (esp. if I have several apps running), won't fax usually (will hear a fax tone instead of a dial tone at the onset), disappearing documents section under my username.
I bought this imac refurbed thru the apple store last fall: 2.16 C2D 20" imac
Any ideas before I have to separate myself from my imac to send it in??

Hi Toodles
The pin strips on the new modules maybe a little thicker than your original modules, and it's going to take more force to seat them properly. If the new Memory Specifications are correct I would try them again. Slide them in untill they stop, then push real hard untill you feel them seat into place.
I've never seen a report about an odd amount of ram shown. If reinstalling the ram modules does not solve your issue, and may be a indication that there is something wrong with one of the slots.

What benefits are there to joining a Windows domain?

My company has one mac user with a Macbook Air, we have a Windows 2008 r2 domain.
I'm wondering if it is worth joining him to the domain, what benefits are there for a mac user?
We use Exchange 2007 and change our passwords every 90 days.
One concern is when the user is out of the office the cached password can become out of sync with the domain passowrd.
This is an anoyance and can be confusing.
Any advice would be much appriciated.
Thanks.

Greetings.
I am a 1 of 2 Mac users in a company that otherwise is using Windoz. I do not join the domain though, because I really see no reason to. I can get to the printers, to the web, to the Exchange and to the SharePoint. Though mostly I need SVN and cloud services anyway.
Thus no real reason. Unless there is some specific stuff that is setup on the network that is only available to windows machines authenticated with a certificate and joined to the windows domain, like for instance a split tunnel VPN or something along those lines, there is really no need to be "on the domain" connected to the LAN works just fine if not better.
HOWEVER
There is that annoying bit about the passwords.
Some sysadmins like to setup password expiration, thus forcing us mortals to rotate three (almost identical) passwords every three months. In this case you just need to setup a reminder on your calendar that prompts you a week in advance to change your password.
How to change your password? You have options:
OPTION 1
Now. If your Mac has OS pre Lion (no higher then 10.6) then you have old samba installed by default and that comes with "smbpasswd" command. To change the password just open the mighty mac terminal and type:
smbpasswd -r YOUR_WINDOWS_DOMAIN_CONTROLLER_IP -U username
Then the output will be something like this:
Old SMB password: ********
New SMB password: *********
Retype new SMB password: *********
Password changed for user username
Of cause replace the YOUR_WINDOWS_DOMAIN_CONTROLLER_IP with the IP of your domain controller. Do not know your domain controller IP? run Google "net lookup master" command. I think older macs have it. (not sure)
if you are running Lion, you do not have smbpasswd command. I think Apple either wrote their implimentation of samba or just use some stripped down wersion of it, not sure. It has to do with some dreary and borring licensing thing.
You can either install samba yourself form sources... Thus if you are brave and adventurous here is a walk through http://forums.sonos.com/showthread.php?t=24022 or you can use optopn two:
OPTION 2
If your company has not gone to the cloud hosting and still use the old-school home grown Exchange hosted in the broom closet, you might have a web version of the M$ Exchange running. The URLs usually something like: https://owa.yourcompanyname.com. If you have that then the sysadmins may have the password change feature enabled there. Login to your web interface for Outlook (OWA), In the top right corner choose the "Change Password" feature and use it.
If this is not an option because either your sysadmin is not running OWA or the password change feature is not enabled you have still have options.
OPTION 3:
If you are working for a company that loves Windows and their products you might have an M$ Office installed on your Mac. Thus you might have Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) utility. If not you can download it here: http://www.microsoft.com/mac/remote-desktop-client. Then remote desktop to a machine in your office and you will get to it's login screen where you can change the windows domain password. (This requires a machine to which you can remote desktop)
OPTION 4:
Walk up to any Windowz box that no one is using, CTRL + ALT + DEL one time and this will give you the login screen, you can change password form there.
OPTION 5:
Ask your sysadmin to setup your password to never expire, or add the policy for your user so that you can change it in OWA (see option 2)

What problems are associated with an upgrade from Tiger to Snow Leopard?

Hi folks.
Is it possible to upgrade directly from Tiger to Snow Leopard, without having to buy Leopard? I've seen many answers around the web, many of them conflicting. There appear to be possible associated problems if you bypass Leopard. But as I'm not certain that what I read is correct I thought I'd come straight to the Community and ask.
Thanks in advance.
(Only reason I'm asking is I persuaded my mother to buy her first Mac (second hand) and it has Tiger loaded onto it. I'd like her to have a more up to date software.)

The computer has to be an Intel Mac.
The basic requirements for Snow Leopard are as follows:
An Apple computer with an Intel Processor
1GB of Memory (RAM)
5GB of hard drive space (Storage)
DVD drive for installation
You can go directly from Tiger to Snow.
Possible problems: make sure the current third party Tiger apps will be compatible. 1 GB RAM is bare bones. You want more than that.
Before upgrading make sure you have the current Mac configuration backed up completely. Use a cloning program like Carbon Copy Cloner to make a bootable clone on an external drive.

What problems interfere with the movement sensor on an iPod touch?

All movement controls on my iPod that are meant to control games such as temple run are not working. What do you think is wrong with my iPod?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar

Your problems are with the store managers not Apple

Seeing that apple has a return policy in place even after the normal 14 day policy with managers approval up to 30 days only... This is really a problem the unaware/uneducated store managers not Apple.

Dude go back to the store, tell them Apple does have a return policy up to 30 days with managers approval, then get another store on the phone & ask that store to explained to the store how to do a return after the 14 days period "managers approval return up to 30 days only"

Problems authentication with PEAP WLC IAS Windows 2k3

Hi all
I have configured a WLC (6.0.182.0 model 2100) with authentiacion PEAP with IAS and a DA of Microsoft Windows 2003. I have been reading in the documentation "PEAP Under Unified Wireless Networks with Microsoft Internet Authentication Service (IAS)" that in the installation proccess of Active Directory it must select the option "Permissions compatible with pre-Windows 2000 server operation systems". In my scenario the other option was chosen "Permissions compatible only with Windows 200 or Windows Server 2003 operations system".
I have test this scenario and it does not work.
Is there some configuration in the WLC so that it can work without having to reinstall the AD?
Thanks

For the most part the WLC doesn't care about what type of authentication is being used. It really is just proxying the requests between the client and Radius server.
I would make sure your EAP timer are extended with the commands:
config advanced eap identity-request-timeout 10
config advanced eap request-timeout 10

What's wrong with AWT cursors on Windows Vista?

I'm getting a weird problem on Windows Vista as I'm trying to create custom cursors in AWT -- the ones you create with the createCustomCursor() function in java.awt.Toolkit, that is.
The problem is that their hotspot point is offset quite a few pixels to the down and right, leading to quite confusing effects. I'm not at all seeing the same effect on either Windows XP or on Linux with X.org (though on the latter, Sun's X11 toolkit seems to limit the cursors to two colors, but that's another problem). Is this a bug, or am I really doing something wrong?
I'm using the following function to create a cursor:
    private static Cursor makeawtcurs(BufferedImage img, Coord hs) {
     Dimension cd = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getBestCursorSize(img.getWidth(), img.getHeight());
     BufferedImage buf = TexI.mkbuf(new Coord((int)cd.getWidth(), (int)cd.getHeight()));
     Graphics g = buf.getGraphics();
     g.drawImage(img, 0, 0, null);
     g.dispose();
     return(Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createCustomCursor(buf, new Point(hs.x, hs.y), ""));
    }

Please ignore this topic. I found out that it's not actually the cursor that is wrong, but rather the window size calculation. On Vista, the window becomes larger than I request, and therefore the window coordinates don't match up against my logical coordinates.

What is wrong with the Event Creation window in Calendar?

Is there a formal way I can ask you, Apple, to put the patch on this issue for the next update? (sooner rather than later) The entire right-hand side of the menu is cut off along with the all important save button and is highly annoying that I cannot save the events I create!! I was kind of astonished that 6.1.3 only had fixes for Maps in Japan.

Can you call customer service from a landline at 1-800-922-0204 or you can use the "Contact Us" link at the top of the website?

Problem printing with Airport extreme and Windows Vista

I have just purchased a HP Laserjet printer that I have connected to my airport extreme. When I turn on Bonjour, my computer detects the printer, but when I try to configure it, a message apears saying I don't have the authorisation to do so...
Please tell me if you have any idea how to solve this!

I just got off the HP "chat" technical assistance about my HP DV6500z doing this same thing. At least for my model there is an October BIOS update. She had me re-install the Broadcom drivers and run the BIOS update. Now the whole computer runs faster in addition to connecting wirelessly! Not only that, I can use the "closed" network feature through the Airport Utility to hide my network as I did in the past and the PC finds it! I guess through all of the very testy notes on HP's discussion board they finally came through (well, at least on this model). My model has the AMD processor so if yours is Intel it may not be the same. I recommend going to their TA chat line or type in your model on their Software & Driver page to see if there is a recent revision on your models BIOS. The one I downloaded was dated 10-2007.
