Problems with Fios and video games.

Hi,
I switched from Time Warner Cable to Fios last month and I've been having problems with my internet going down on ALL computers whenever ONE of them plays a game online. I know it sounds strange, but as far as we can tell, it's only caused by video games. Basically, whenever a game such as Counter-Strike is started, the internet will go down on every computer for about 5 minutes.
I called tech support and they had me unplug the Actiontec router and plug the cable directly into my computer. When we tried Counter Strike again it worked with no problems. The guy said the problem is a known bug with the router they gave me, but since the TV service needs the router, I can't use my old router that works fine! I switched to Fios and waited through the 6 hour install because I thought it was supposed to be faster, but it never works!
I don't want to pay the termination fee to cancel, but I need my internet to work. Anybody have any ideas??

So I guess this is a well known problem then. I followed the instructions from that site and used my own router with the Verizon router plugged in. The internet worked for the computers, but when I tried showtime on demand it was a no-go. It looks like alot of people had success with this so I'll try again when I get back from work later today. Thanks for the help.
It's really sad that Verizon makes us go through all this hassle just go get a working internet connection. My friend was going to switch when I showed him how many more HD channels I had now, but when I told him about the internet problems he changed his mind. I would have waited too if I knew they still had bugs.

Is Verizon going to acknowlege the problems with FIOS and Windows Vista

For months now, I have been reading the numerous problems Fios internet customers are having with Fios internet/Actiontech Router and Windows Vista and there has been no acknowledgement by Verizon of this current major issue.
I have also experienced the exact same issue for months now since I switched to Verizon FIOS internet. Previously I had Comcast HSI using my Windows Vista laptop. I had their service for over a year and I NEVER has a problem with the Windows Vista globe icon disappearing and loosing internet connection. The Globe always stayed on and never went away and I never lost connection when I had Comcast
I had Verizon FIOS installed last September with my Windows Vista computer and my wireless internet connection started to drop from day 1 and it has been a daily occurrence for over 5 months now. It has gotten so bad, I have had to hardwire my laptop to to be able to use the internet uninterrupted.
This is what daily scenario is:
When I turn on my laptop(with Windows Vista, I can initially get full internet access(with the globe on and it says "Local and internet). After about 10 minutes or less, the globe switches to "local only" and I can still get internet access. After another 5 or so minutes, a large X covers the globe and I lose internet connection entirely. The actiontech router wireless signal is no longer listed as one of the wireless networks. The only way for me to regain internet access is either to restart my laptop or reboot the actiontech router.
Numeorus posts here, over by DSL forums(Broadband Reports),Microsoft's website and a few othere websites detail this issue.
I am extremely shocked and surprised that Verizon has not tried to fix this issue by working with both the makers of the Actiontech Router as well as Microsoft to find out what the problem is and how to fix it.
I would just like to reiterate I strongly believe this is primarily a FIOS internet issue since I previously had Comcast HSI for over a year with the same Windows Vista laptop and I NEVER had that problem. Also, I can connect to my neighbors wireless connection(she uses Comcast HSI) and when I do, the globe stay on all the time on my computer and the internet does not lose connection.
I know that there are a couple of Verizon employees here. Please tell the higher ups who handle FIOS internet that this is a major issue that needs to be resolved as soon as possible.
P.S: Please don't tell me to go by my own router because then, I will have to deal with the issues of setting it up to work with Fios TV and the related VOD, widgets, remote DVR compatability issues to deal with. I don't think I can deal with the additional headaches.

FIOS is short for fiber optics. fiber optics is different technology than DSL.
With that said, if you search the Microsoft databases for vista issues with fiber optics, (CURRENTLY THERE IS ONLY ONE PROVIDER OF FIBER TO THE HOUSE, that being Verizon, so yes you can also search Vista issues with verizon and\or fios) and you will find that Microsoft already acknowledges this issue with their software. AND they offer you a fix.

So here is what comes to pass.
Recall this started as a Lion Safari/5+ environment that SU took to version 6.
Two weeks ago I just updated Flash Player. Today I fire up Java Preferences and I am told that I need to download Java. Did so, intentionally hit the "factory reset" button and then installed the Flash Player from teh Adobe site. The most recent install suggests automatic update but I choose "ask first."
Restart Safari and we seem to be in order
Thanks

Having problems with audio and video when exporting to quicktime

I've exported a couple of keynote presentations to Quicktime and uploaded to youtube with no problems. I've now added a motion background in my intro, which looks great in keynote, but, it would appear that it causes problems. The mov file does play the animation, but, not as it was recorded, the audio then becomes out of sync and the advance on slides is all over the place with some not appearing. Is this a common problem? I am exporting at best quality and 1280 x 720, leaving all other settings as preset. I suspect that if I drop the background altogether it will work, but, it looks so great in keynote that'd be a shame. Any tips?

I'm confused with the aspect ratio when I crop them i know I have to lock the aspect but should I keep it on Original? Also i'm wondering when it comes to export them what size should I be placing if I want to print all sizes.
The crop aspect lock only comes into play while you are actively resizing the crop boundary. LR always works in a freehand manner, except that if the ratio is locked, adjusting the crop frame is allowed to alter its size and location and angle - but not its shape. If the ratio is not locked, you will be changing the crop shape freely if/when you drag the corner or edge handles around. The rest of the time, the lock makes no difference; and it is just as possible BTW to lock a random freehand aspect ratio, as it is to lock one of the standard preset ones.
If you are uploading an exported copy for printing, you could simply upload a JPG made at the original resolution (as cropped for composition and angle) - that is, unchecking the whole resizing section of the Export dialog - and give the printer instructions as to how large the various prints are to be. Or I suppose, you could resize to the largest of the sizes that you require, but you will then need to negotiate a pixels-per-inch "resolution" setting that will be appropriate - since, when resizing to a page size, this figure governs the pixel content of the file produced.
I would suggest that in the case of an export without resizing, where a generous quantity of pixels are included for the sorts of page sizes mentioned, you will likely not see any discernible printed benefit from setting the highest JPG quality setting for your export, but will be fine with around quality 6 to 8 - which brings the file sizes down significantly. Most often, printing services will presume that you have selected sRGB colourspace for your export, unless something different has been pre-agreed.

ITunes problems with sound and video

So like, everyone else reading this right now, i Just got iTunes new version, exciting isn't it. Let's see. The color of the words is now black, instead of the blue. When a song is played it plays, but it sounds like a radio with really bad static. The files on the computer did not change to the new blue music note, maybe that has bothing to do with anything. Then the videos flash a weird plaid green and then go black everytime one is started, paused, resized, etc. I Also seem to be missing 3/4 of my podcasts from the video section. I am afraid to attatch my iPod for fear of getting the same static, no videoy results, so we'll save that for later. I am currently on my 4th iTunes version 7. Here's soem random information.

Having problems with RT and video card?

I have just upgraded to FCP 5 Studio. I found that my video card was not able to handle the RT Extreme, so I upgraded to a recommended ATI 9600 64 mb video card. However I still do not get any video that plays in the viewer windows. I only get a pixelated screen of the menu bar. I am running two monitors. The second monitor is only 32 mb,but I only use it for the menus part of the program. Do both video cards need to have enough memory to run the video RT? If so, can I unplug the monitor that does not have enough memory and run the program properly? Can I turn off the RT feature? Thanks for your help.

This is the Final Cut Express forum. You should post your question in the Final Cut Pro forum and/or the PowerMac forum.
wrt RT settings in FCE, you can adjust them in FCE System Settings > Playback Control

Firstly, I purchased my first iPhone a few years ago, since then there have been a lot of apps released, a lot which I downloaded for free, tried and deleted from both my phone and my iTune 'Apps' Panel. What bothers me is when I do get a new iOS device, iPad and/or iPhone 5, and I don't want to just copy the back-up of my current iOS device to the new one, then to get the apps I want I will have to scroll through countless useless 'trash' applications in my purchase history to 'cloud download' the ones I want.
Just sync the apps you want from your computer. You don't need to redownload them directly on the iPhone Purchased list.
Will Apple be employing such a feature, a 'permanently delete/un-purchase' feature?
Dunno.

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.

Problem with Windows7 and Adobe Flash freezing computer?

Hello All, There is a problem with Windows7 and my Adobe Flash causing my computer to freeze. So, Skype, videos, etc will not work. Have tried many things to solve problem. Can Oracle VM be used to run a different operating system...such as XP or Vista where Flash will work properly? I would hate to have a new operating system installed on a new computer. thanks

If you mean Oracle VM VirtualBox, then yes, definitely. A free download, it installs and runs great on Windows 7. http://www.virtualbox.org/

My apologies about not explaining further about disabling SPDIF passthrough. See the steps below to enable DDL encoding.
***Before proceeding please make sure that you've purchased, installed and activated the DDL pack***
. Open Creative Audio Console, go to the Decoder tab to disable driver level encoding and enable SPDIF passthrough (this is done by selecting SPDIF passthrough or any similar option that enable the use of an external decoder) instead of using the built-in decoders.
2. Open up your playback devices window (right click on the speaker icon on the taskbar and select playback devices) and set analog speakers (not SPDIF) as your default device. This is VERY IMPORTANT step, or else you get the "the device is busy" error when enbaling DDL encoding.
3. In the Audio Console, select the Encoder tab and enable DLL encoding.
Note:
When DDL encoding is enabled, it makes exclusi've use of your SPDIF connection so, no passthrough is possible. The default output format when using DDL encoding is 48KHz/6 bits. If you make use of any AC3 audio filters (such as ac3filter/others included in codec packs/media player softwares) when DLL encoding is enabled, then please change their output device to analog speakers instead of SPDIF.
To use back SPDIF passthrough (when playing back media with a pre-encoded audio source), open up Audio Console and disable DDL encoding and in the Playback Devices window change the default device to SPDIF. If you make use of any AC3 audio filters (such as ac3filter/others included in codec packs/media player softwares) then please change their output device back to SPDIF. You may also wish to change back your output format to 92KHz/24 bits (right click on SPDIF and select properties -> Advanced tab).

it was working fine until yesterday, i've been searching about xcb_io.c but sadly i haven't found anything useful.

it seems i can run it fine as sudo but not as a regular user

Edit3:
well, it seems i got a problem with opengl and my catalyst driver (but i'm guessing because i haven't tried with radeon) because i can use it without opengl but as soon as i change the video option to use opengl it crashes with the same error (zsnes: xcb_io.c:515: _XReply: Assertion `!dpy->xcb->reply_data' failed.) should i file a bug report or something???
