Question about CD compatibility

I used "TESCO" CD-R and I was wondering if TOSHIBA recommends these brand of CD's or not?

I suppose you want to know if you drive can handle and support the medium. Am I right?
In my user manual I have found a list of compatible CDs and DVD which are recommended by Toshiba.
I think you will also find the same list in your user manual. Please check it.
Ps: I use a TDK CDs and DVDs. These mediums are not listed in the manual but Im very satisfied with these CDs and DVDs. I can burn and read it without any problems but you know, everything depends on the drive.

Question about camera compatability

Hi,
I bought a DVD Panasonic VDR-D200 camcorder only to find that it doesn't work well with iMovie 6 because it doesn't use Firewire, only USB. I've been hearing the term miniDV in the discussion forums and now I'm confused...how many typs of camcorders are there and what type is supportd by iMovie 6? Is miniDV a tape camcorder, I'm assuming? Any specific models that would work well with iMovie would be greatly appreciated. Please only give advicec if you're sure you know what you're talking about...this will be the second camera I'm returning for compatability issues amounting to $160 in re-shelving fees! What an idiot I am! Thanks for your time and help...By the way, I use a Powerbook G4 if that makes a difference.

miniDV is a specific kind of tape format, have a look at any camera store or do some wiki… I estimate, 70% of consumer camcorders do use this format.
(pic by wikipedia)
any camcorder with miniDV plus firewire (Sony calls it iLink) should work with iM.... (and socalled Digital8 too, but that is an older standard... actual cameras are miniDV); I did own a Canon, now for years using a simple but excellent SonyTRV14…
no, iApps don't support DVDcorders, mpeg4, flashmem, harddrive, solid state, whatsoever cameras...
Please only give advicec if you're sure you know what you're talking about..
me sure? ... mostly ... failed often, but still self-confident...

Questions about firmware & compatibility

What's goin on guys,
I have a iBook Blueberry 300 MHz PowerPC G3; 288 MB Memory; 3.1.2f4 bootRom; and i'm running Mac OS X 10.3.9.
My first question is: Do I really even need to upgrade my firmware? I've read through about 25 pages of the forum so far, and I've seen it suggested more than a few times.
My second question: I have tried relentlessly to watch streaming video on this Mac. It simply will not work. I downloaded the latest FlashPlayer, updated my Java settings, checked my internet connection speed, and it simply will not work. I'm beginning to think that 300 MHz just isn't a fast enough processor to handle streaming media. Is this true? Are there any updates (besides hardware upgrades) that I can try?

Yes, this is correct.
Unfortunately, almost all G3 machines studder with streaming video. Especially the older ones -- even the 466 Mhz iBook studders a good bit with video. The reason for this is that the processor can't keep up and process the information. That's the main reason I found when I was researching the topic!
It's really not because of the graphics card, which many believe is the reason.

Question about parts compatibility G5-Mac Pro

Hello! Thanks to anyone that has some insight for my question
I have a loaded G5 powermac and am wanting to make the switch to Mac Pro for some time now. I have 4gigs of RAM and 2 400gb HDD's in my G5. Would I be able to use any of that in the Powermac? Or is it all incompatible now?
Thanks for any responses...

So the RAM will work as well? The drives are SATA.
Well a few reasons for upgrading are that my apple care will soon expire, about 6 months left and I cant renew it ( I wish I could). So if something does finally break down on me, I would be throwing money at it to fix. Plus I would love to run Parallels and BootCamp and just get into the next generation of mac computing. With leopard coming out and all things advancing...i already feel left behind! haha...the marketing demons have me.
This powermac is by no means obsolete and more than fulfills my needs. Settling for a macbook pro would be awesome...but looking at some of the refurb mac pro's I was thinking I could super fuel it with my current G5 parts.
Thanks for your replies, gurus!

Question about camcorder compatibility

I was just wondering if the sony HDD HD camcorders worked with imovie as that I can import the videos and stuff.

You need to check the Apple compatibility list to see if the HDD cam you want is on that list. If it is, you can import into iMovie 08 only. If it isn't, forget it.
If you wish to use the superior "older" iMovie, iMovie HD6, no HDD cam will work. For that you need to consider a HDV miniDV tape cam.

Newbie Question about OS compatibility

I recently run across a claim on Adobe's website that Lightroom 5 requires a 64-bit OS.
However, the Lightroom 5 trial worked well on my 32-bit OS.
On the other hand, Lightroom 5 did not install from my CC desk top app (came as a bundle with photoshop).
I know this is very basic stuff, but I'm confused:
is there a difference between Lightroom 5 as a standalone and as part of creative cloud?
Is Lightroom 5 always 32-bit compatible, or not?

is there a difference between Lightroom 5 as a standalone and as part of creative cloud?
No. Only the licensing is different.
Is Lightroom 5 always 32-bit compatible, or not?
It's 64 bit only on Mac because all Macs are 64 bit anyway.
It's available in both 32 bit and 64 bit on PC. Depends on which operating system is installed - 32 bit Windows or 64 bit Windows.

Question about WRVS4400N compatibility with WMP300N

I am looking at buying me a new home network suite with a NAS, router, NIC, .... While researching the WRVS4400N, I noticed that the modulation type is OFDM for 802.11n as listed on the data sheets. But the WMP300N modulation type is BPSK, QPSK, 16-QAM, 64-QAM for 802.11n. They both support 802.11g OFDM for modulation so I know they will work together but will they work at 802.11n or is it a miss print on the data sheets.
Thanks in adv.

Assuming you mean Type 1 fonts - (as opposed to Truetype)
If it's an OpenType font, yes.
Otherwise, no.
They can be converted, subject to the licensing restrictions
applicable to the particular font.
Font families (multiple styles) aren't interpreted the same way, and
may require internal renaming.
Under Windows 9x/me/NT, Adobe Type Manager is also required for the
use of Type 1 fonts (including Type 1 flavored opentype). Windows XP
and Vista support Type 1 natively.

[SOLVED] Basic question about x2go, freenx, etc. compatibility

My goal is to simply enable remote desktop on my soon to be headless server. Given the number of posts here at Arch explaining the trouble with freenx and the Arch support of x2go, I'm confused there is not more talk about their compatibility. And as I've just discovered, they're not:
"Various open source terminal server projects such as x2go also use the NX protocol; however, x2go is not compatible with other NX servers and clients." (NX Technology)
This leaves me in a bit of a pickle. CentOS doesn't support x2go, and Arch doesn't support freenx. What's the best interoperable solution then? Either a sever app which supports x2go or a client app that supports NXX?

CentOSers are very persnickty about how you're supposed to maintain your system in terms of non-core packages etc. etc. And x2go is not coming up in the forum, wiki, or in the repositories (via the commanline tool yum). Read the response to my question about installing vim7.4. Hell, you can do _whatever you want_ to your system, but that doesn't mean anyone's going to help you when you run into trouble.
That comment strikes me as perfectly reasonable. The comment is pointing out that you are trying to use the wrong tool to do the job. The tool in this case is the distro - CentOS is not intended to be used in this way (for this job). Of course, if you insist on using a spanner to hammer nails, you are free to do so. But you can't really expect your local DIY shop to help you use the spanner when the nails don't go in straight rather than suggesting you use a hammer instead.
It is just like somebody who comes here and asks how they can stick with a known-stable set of packages while getting security updates. That's not what Arch is designed for so if you try to use it that way, you'll have a hard time. Of course, you are free to do so if you wish. But if you ask for help, you'll be pointed to another distro because that is the right answer.
It has nothing to do with being "persnickty". The answer is the most helpful answer somebody can give you.
Note: I'm assuming the description of CentOS, Fedora etc. is correct. I know the description of Fedora to be correct but I don't actually know anything about CentOS. But on the assumption that description is also correct, that answer is the most helpful answer somebody could give you, even if it is not the answer you wanted to hear.

Questions about mac mini iTunes server, streaming to macbook pro, ipads, etc.

I'm thinking about getting a mac mini to work with my NAS as a iTunes server. I have a bunch of questions about this. I will have two iPhones, a few iPads, and a laptop that will be accessing the files. I have iTunes match. This is basically to keep an always on computer for hosting the music/movies. My questions are as follows . . .
#1 Are there any good, comprehensive guides to show you how to do this?
#2 Can the movies be accessed when not at home on the shared network?
#3 Can the iPads or the macbook pro download the shared movies to be stored locally?
#4 Back to #3, how will it work on my macbook pro with listening to music (I have iTunes match)? Say i go to library and I break out my macbook pro and I don't have internet. What happens if I download music while at home onto my macbook pro to listen to it when I go to the library? Will i start a new library on my macbook pro? How will that mesh with the home server when I come back.
#5 Is there a way to mirror files or folders? So something that I have on my macbook pro will also mirror on the home server.
Thanks for your help on this. I'll post any follow up questions.

I do not know if it is the same model number, but this one will work in your MBP:

2. I want to replace the HD with a 128GB SSD 840. When I replace these drives, will my OS still be in tact? I have never done this job before.
No. You will have to format the drives in Disk Utility>Erase to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and then install the OSX by using the original install disks.
3.) I want to replace the ram sticks to max capacity. This is 2 2GB sticks, Correct?
No. An early 17" 2008 MBP will accept 6GB RAM with the following specifications: 200-pin PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM. The best sources of Mac compatible RAM are OWC and Crucial.
4.) Most difficult...
I want to extend the monitor wirelessly to a projector. I thought about using Apple TV and Airplay. However, support for airplay is for MacBooks 2011 and newer. I thought of using a PS3 and the media server, but I think this brings on a format compatibility issue. (my library is so large I could not afford to convert all my movies to MP4.) So, how would you recommend I put my extended monitor with VLC player onto a projector?
Could I possibly connect the MBP to a Mac Mini as an extension? would this work natively? I would rather use a VGA cord than F with 3rd party app BS.
Cannot help you there.
5..) I want to Bypass iTunes this time around. I would prefer to use Finder and VLC to manage all of my music. I mostly play all my music on shuffle, so, could I create a playlist on VLC with all of my music and play it randomly? (im sure this is possible but i'd like to organize all my plans with confirmation.)
You are not obligated to use iTunes.
6.) Can i upgrade the keyboard to backlit? i've read that this is possible.
All MBPs have back lighted keyboards. Your either needs a NVRAM reset or a repair.
Ciao.

Question about the ability of Genius Bar to help with outside software...

Hi I wasn't sure where to put this, but here's my question. I'm having a problem with the Sims 2 on my Macbook and I was wondering if I go to the Genius Bar will they be able to help me or are they strictly hands off when it's not a direct Apple product?
Also, I bought an external hard drive in the Apple Store but it's not an Apple branded product. If I'm having a problem with that, can I go to the Apple Store?

If it's a question about the installation, system requirements or compatibility with your MacBook, the Mac Genius can probably help. If you're having some kind of issue while using the Sims 2, you'll probably have to contact .
The same is true with the hard drive. If you need some help getting it connected or even formatted, they can probably help. However, if it's not powering up or you're losing files or some kind of operational issue with the hard drive after it's connected, they'll probably refer you to the manufacturer.
Usually Apple can't support other vendors' products. Someone here may be able to give you some more advice, since none of us work for Apple. There may be someone here who's already had the same issue with the Sims.

A question about compatiblilty of JDBC

Hi, there,
I have a question about JDBC 3.0 in JDK1.4.1.
We build a .jar using JDK1.4.1 and this .jar file
provides JDBC 3.0 interface.
I then tried to call the interface under JDK1.3.1
but it keeps asking me about the getParameterMetaData()
in PreparedStatement.
(The error message like this:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: java/sql/ParameterMetaData dbmaker.sql.JdbcOdbcConnection.prepareStatement(JdbcOdbcConnection.java:257)
I did implement the getParameterMetaData() method,
but I didn't call this method in my testing program.
It's quite strange since when JDK1.2 was release,
we implemented the getBlob() method in
ResultSet class and there's no problem when we
use JDK1.1 run time to call this ResultSet object.
Could any one tell me why? Is this caused by a
compatibility problem between JDK1.4 and the
older versions of JDK?

Hi, there,
Let me outline the condition by examples so that maybe you can help me. PLEASE! Could somebody tell us what's wrong?
- CASE 1:
In JDK1.2, we implemented a new method getBlob which returns the type of Blob (this is done according to JDBC 2.0 specification.) in ResultSet class. We can use the .jar compiled by jdk1.2 in jdk1.1 environment.
e.g. We make a xyz.jar by jdk1.2 and the xyz.jar includes new method getBlob in ReaultSet class. Then, one java application including ResultSet class CAN run under jdk1.1 with xyz.jar, if the method ResultSet.getBlob() is not called.
- CASE 2:
BUT, the following case which is the same as in the above condition will fail in jdk1.3 environment.
In JDK 1.4, we implemented a new method getParameterMetaData() which returns the type of ParameterMetaData. (BTW, this is done according to JDBC 3.0 specification.) in PreparedStatement class. We CANNOT use the .jar compiled by jdk1.4 in jdk1.3 environment.
e.g. We make a ttt.jar by jdk1.4 and ttt.jar includes the new method getParameterMetaData() in PreparedStatement class. Then, one java application including PreparedStatement class CANNOT be run under jdk1.3 with ttt.jar, even when the method PreparedStatement.getParameterMetaData() is not called.

Questions about Audigy 2 ZS connecti

Hello,
New to these forums, so bear with me. I'm considering purchasing an Audigy 2 ZS gamer card, and have some questions about the card and speaker setup. I've read the FAQ's in the forum, and they have been a big help, but I still have questions related specifically to my setup. Here's the system specs:
AMD Athlon 64 3000+
Asus K8V SE Deluxe
VisionTek Radeon X800 XT PE
Seagate 250 gig SATA HDD
gig Crucial ram
Antec P80 case
Antec TruePower 430 ps
Altec Lansing ADA885 digital speakers (awesome sound)
Altec Lansing headset (cheap but works for voice and gaming)
ADI AD980 onboard sound
Windows XP Home
. I currently am able to run both the speakers and headset at the same time by using the front panel audio outlets on the case (helps with the immersion in IL2 946). I would like to continue doing this(using front panel audio) with the new card. I've found several places that have an adapter cable for sale, http://www.x-tap.com/
http://www.performance-pcs.com/catal...oducts_id=2700
http://ask.americas.creative.com/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE?New,Kb=ww_english_add,U={B8F6030-DA4F-D3-94F4-00500463020E},Company={CEAE26D-879-4C00-AC9F-03BC258F7B70},d=3025443648,VARSET=ws:http://us.creative.com,case=5764
The plug that I have has only 3 separators, not 4. Will this work with the Audigy 2? I don't have a link for this plug, unfortunately.
4. I had been considering purchasing? a set of USB headphones, but I've been told that when you plug them in, the sound is cut off for the speakers. If there was a workaround for this, I might consider getting them. Then I wouldn't have to use the front panel audio or the connections on the card.
5. I've heard of an issue with this particular set of speakers and the Audigy 2 card, particularly that the speakers were originally designed for a Dell system, and the wiring was phased differently than in other systems. Is this something to be concerned with, and if so, is there a workaround?
I like to research a particular product before I buy it, in order to make an informed decision and avoid problems if possible. Sometimes it works, sometimes it don't
Thanks in advance for the help.

The inputs are easy to find and select:?
Right-click the Mixer icon on the taskbar and select "Playback Devices".<
There should open a new Window with the options of "Speakers" and "SPDIF"<
With Speakers highlighted click the?"Properties" button on the lower?right corner<
Go to the 4th tab (I believe it is "volume" in english, "Pegel" in german)<
There you have your inputs!<
Unmute Line-In and set its volume according to your desires.<
Also remember that software designed for XP, that should control the Line-IN settings, (ie. Hauppauge WinTV or Dscaler) will be unable to do so in Vista, do to the architecture change. You can however enable "Compatibility Mode for Windows XP SP2" for these applications (right-click on their executable) and restore control of the inputs directly from the program. (You should however unmute it first as explained above). PS:? All Creative Software that came on the CD is incompatible to Vista. Only the included Audio Console should work as expected.Message Edited by alexs3d2 on 05-07-200707:3 PM

Questions about Macbook

I am about to go into my first year of college this July, and I've been looking for a laptop. I've used iMacs before a little bit, but I have a few questions about the Macbook Pro and Mac OS X 10.5. So if someone can help me that would be great.
First of all: How is the Macbook Pro overall as a laptop? Is it a pretty good one?
Secondly: How good is the back-up utility? (Time Machine) Is it pretty good? How big of an external hard drive would I need to back up everything?
Third question: How is the program Boot Camp? I'm planning on putting Windows XP Pro on the Mac using Boot Camp. How is compatibility? Also I've heard that if you make the partition for Windows less than 32 GB, the partitions would be able to "see" each other... does that mean Mac OS X can read FAT 32 drives? Would I be able to transfer files between the two OSs with that setup?
and lastly: Would Mac OS X be able to read my flash drive?
Thanks in advance everyone

I find it phenomenal, the best laptop I've used. OS X is a versatile and stable OS, and the hardware hasn't given me any trouble.
Secondly: How good is the back-up utility? (Time Machine) Is it pretty good? How big of an external hard drive would I need to back up everything?
It works great for me. You can't be nit-picky, so if you want a backup program with lots of settings there are plenty of options, but for those of us who just want something to fall back on when the HD goes kaput or we delete a file on accident, its perfect.
Third question: How is the program Boot Camp? I'm planning on putting Windows XP Pro on the Mac using Boot Camp. How is compatibility? Also I've heard that if you make the partition for Windows less than 32 GB, the partitions would be able to "see" each other... does that mean Mac OS X can read FAT 32 drives? Would I be able to transfer files between the two OSs with that setup?
I haven't used it enough to answer the file sharing questions, but in my limited use it's been excellent, and many friends rave.
It's worth noting that when PC World was testing the fastest Windows Vista laptops, #1 was the MBP running Vista on BootCamp.
and lastly: Would Mac OS X be able to read my flash drive?
Yes. USB drives work great. The only thing, when you delete a file off a flash drive with default formatting, you'll only send it to a hidden "trashes" file. To permanently delete it off the stick, you'll need to push commandshiftdelete.
Hope that helps!

I want to know - Will I still have my bookmarks, history, addons, plugins, etc.? I do not know what plugins and such that I had. What about my pinned tabs and my tabs that where open.
More information - When I try to start Firefox I keep getting the message that I need to restart my computer in order to complete a previous update attempt. I had Sweetpacks on my PC and I do not know where it came from, it took over my home page in Internet Explorer and Ithink caused the issue with Firefox.
