In control panel the Primary Ide chanel (the hard-disk) is working in UDMA mode 6, and the secondary Ide chanel (the DVDRW) is working in UDMA mode 4.
When i want to burn any CD or DVD with Nero, Roxio or anything else, i have this nice message :
DMA driver error. CRC error. Burn failled.
Solved !
I change the IDE cable with one of 80 wires.
This is MAGIC !!!
The 80-conductor cable was first defined with the original Ultra DMA modes 0, 1 and 2, covering transfer speeds up to 33.3 MB/s.
The cable is considered "optional" for those modes.
However, for any Ultra DMA modes above mode 2, the 80-conductor cable is mandatory.

MBA with CITRIX - shift key only CAP the first charactor?

My MBA connects to work PC (windows xp) via CITRIX(Citrix Online plug-in for Mac -web) in Snow Leopard, it seems like shift key + any charactor, only cap the first hit, it caused lots of trouble for my typing habit, as even I am holding my shift key and then press any keys, it will only cap the first one. I had tested in Snow Leopard, there is not problems with holding shift key to get CAP characters, only happen in CITRIX session.
Does anyone have the same problems and anyone know how to fix it?

Have you tried the version of citrix listed in the Apple App store? It can open most of the data files the plugin will open, and it seems to have a little bit better performance.

My MacBook Pro will not start up. I only get a grey screen with the spinning wheel. No blue page appears and the grey screen remains. Tried starting with the Shift key but ineffective as well.

Can't get my MacBook Pro to start up. Have shut it down several times and tried restarting but all I get is a grey screen with the spinning icon. Apple Support online suggested starting with power button followed immediately with the shift key. Same results. Also tried power button with shift key, command, and V. Black screen appeared instead with lots of data language but still no starting. This final page was suppose to result in an internal system check and restart but nothing happened and the black screen remains.Where do I go from here? Scheduled for the Genius Bar tomorrow but would like to resolve this beforehand.

You may be having a hardware problem that you cannot resolve on your own. Nevertheless...
...hold down the command and R keys whilst booting to try to get to your Recovery partition. If you can, use Disk Utility to try to Verify your boot drive (usually named "Macintosh HD" unless you've renamed it). If the verification fails, try to repair your hard drive. If everything appears to be OK, restart.
If you can't get into your Recovery partition, your problem is likely hardware related. If so, keep your appointment and see what the Apple techs have to say.

Problem with the volume keys on my keyboard.

Hey everybody,
I have a problem with the volume keys on my keyboard. This started a couple days ago and I can't seem to figure out how to fix it. When I press the volume up or down buttons, the graphic appears on the screen as it normally would, but has no effect on the volume of the sound coming out of my speakers. Therefore, the only way to change the volume of music or whatever I am listening to is to use the volume control within the program/website itself (itunes, youtube, etc.) Even changing the volume on the volume icon at the menu bar on top of the screen does nothing. If anyone has an idea of how to go about solving this issue, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

First look into the Preference > Sound > Outpur whether internal Speakers are choosen.
The only Preference to delete I can discover is com.apple.systempreferences.plist in your home Library folder. You can try to move it out to the desktop for example, not to loose all your settings. Restart and see whether the problem still persists. If you don't know how to do this here some Terminal (Applications > Utilities) commands. Enter them by copy and paste followed by <enter>
mv ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist ~/Desktop/
restart
to get it back:
mv ~/Desktop/com.apple.systempreferences.plist ~/Library/Preferences/
confirm with "y" if you are asked to replace this file.

I have a new hard drive and itunes and my computer (windows XP) no longer recognise my ipod. I also had the problem with the registry keys not being present but this has now been fixed. However i can no longer link my ipod up with itunes.

When I first tried itunes with my new hard drive there was the problem with the registry keys but something also flagged up about needing a signed driver. Is this anything to do with why Itunes and my computer no longer recognises when my ipod is linked up? Whatever i try under 'devices' my ipod is never available to sync up. If anyone can help I would be most grateful.

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately this has not worked. I didn't have quicktime to begin with so I don't know if that makes a difference? After following the instructions, I get the "registry keys missing" problem appear again (which I've subsequently fixed again) and then when I connected the ipod I got the following message - 'Device driver software was not successfully installed'.
I've tried windows update but this doesn't do anything as '...the service is not running'.
Any suggestions?

Problem with tilt shift effect

I have the latest version of Elements 12 and have just started to experiment with the Tilt-Shift Guided Effect. The problem I'm having is that when I try to change the area of focus, nothing much seems to change in the picture. Sometimes it seems like the original in-focus area stays in place and I can make small changes elsewhere in the picture.
I was wondering if anyone else was having a problem with Tilt-Shift?
thanks.

I think I verified what I was seeing in Guided Mode by going to Expert Mode after trying to alter the focus area. In expert mode I found a mask for the blur layer - and what I saw were 2 gradients rather than just one. One of the gradients in the mask was where Elements put the default in-focus area, and the second gradient in the mask was where I tried to move the in-focus area to. I was expecting to find one gradient on the mask, but instead there were two. Are others observing this same behavior? Thanks.

Problem with Sting Primary Key

I have probleme with Sting Primary Key
when i create new row
System.out.println("is new:" + acct.getEntityState());
show 1 - this row is not new

Hi,
I was unable to reproduce this behavior on OWM 10.1.0.8. It appears that you have a SR open for this issue, so I would suggest to continue with that process.

Problem with push email key and adding mailbox

There seems to be a strange problem with the email key. I added my gmail account initially but then i deleted it. I don't see any mailbox in the email setup, but i still receive notification on recieving a new email. But when I press the push email key on the home screen to open my inbox, it takes me to the email setup. I tried adding a mailbox, but when i select "add mailbox" the screen becomes whitish and nothing happens.
I need to add my gmail account again. Please help me with this. Thanks!

1. Predictive text can only be enabled in alphanumeric keypad, but from testing the QuickOffice 6 on the 5800 (same app used for both phones), It cannot use predictive text. Its not in the typing options. Furthermore, if you would be using the qwerty keyboard on the mini, predictive text AFAIK cannot be used.
2. If using "vodaphone live" is giving an error in ALL applications, then it is not the fault of your phone but of the "vodaphone live" settings not being compatible to your phone. I assumed that it was only for email that it did not work. A similar case was one on T-mobile, wherein the T-mobile GPRS settings were incorrect which leads to the same issue as you do. The fix was to configure GPRS settings manually. You can also take it to vodaphone for them to configure it themselves.
3. As I said, unless we find out what is different from the files that can play and cannot I cannot help you. Its not like I can check the files themselves. You can try attaching two each of the working files and non working files here for some of us to test on our phones.

Keyboard problem with T410 - Control Key

I have a problem with the control keys on the keyboard of T410.
I swapped my X200 keyboard over to T410 to check if it is software or hardware issues. With the X200 keyboard, the 'Ctrl' key is not working. With the T410 keyboard, 'e', 'd', 'c' and 'Ctrl' keys are not working.

Welcome to the forum!
I believe that X200 and T410 keyboards are mapped differently in BIOS.
Can you find another T410/T510 keyboard to test with?
Cheers,
George

Bug: problems with the Escape key

Hi all,
In an attempt to get around real estate problems, I set my Dell 24" monitor in portrait mode. Logic 8 behaves as it should most of the time. However, there appears to be a problem with the Escape key. Most of the time, the Tools menu doesn't appear until you mouse out of the editing areas (eg into the menu area above the piano roll).
Clearly, Logic should just take its resolution and screen dimensions from the OS but there appears to be a problem in extreme portrait mode.
I'll report this but wanted to check that I'm not being an absolute and total plonker first. Anybody confirm this behaviour?
Thanks!
Pete

that sounds like a memory issue. have you tried reorganizing memory?

Having problems with using shift alt command when using the square tool

having problems with using shift alt command when using the square tool

Marco,
If no good reason, such as the one suggested by Silkrooster, is present, you may try the list, hoping for one of the easy ones at the top.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media. You may have tried/done some of them already; 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible), for CS3 - CC you may find the folder here:
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/preference-file-location-illustrator.html
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

When i press the i key with the shift key nothing happens. I can get a capital i only by pressing the cap lock key whats wrong.

When i press the i key with the shift key nothing happens. the only way I can get a capital i is by using the caps lock key what is going on. Also from time to time my mouse acts like someone is sitting on it. this stops when i press the command key. i am using the lateist wireless mouse and keypad.

does it only happen with the i key?
if it doesnt then try presing shift first then i (or any key) second instead of at the same time.
if it only happens with the i key then what i would do is take the keyboard and mouse to an apple store and ask them if they will hook it up on their computer to see if it is the keyboard or computer.

Problem with left parenthesis key

I have had a problem with the left parenthesis key, when I hit shift to use it, it does not work. The right one works fine. I have noticed this problem since I got my Mac Book Pro which has been about 3 months. I know I can take it in to have the problem resolved, but if there is a quick fix out there I can do myself that would be great. Also I have a blue tooth mac keyboard and the problem exist when using it as well.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions, John

I also forgot to mention that using the 9 works fine.
