Question for those who are getting their broken TCs replaced by Apple:

Are those of you who are getting a replacement TC through Apple all within your warranty period, or is Apple replacing all of the 'power issue' failures, regardless of warranty?
Do you have Apple care, or are you just calling the Apple Care number?
What model of TC failed?
I'm nervous about mine....
Thank you.

Anybody?

Some dvi questions for those who really know there stuff!

Hi all, haven't lurked these forums in a few weeks but just had a quick question for those who wanna build up some "points". I'm trying to connect my MBP 15" (1.83ghz) to my Dell LCD 26" T.V. via DVI. Anyhoo, the DVI port on an MBP is a DVI-I (Dual link 24 + 5 pin) fenmale port while my Dell LCD sports a DVI-D (Dual link 24 + 1 pin) female port. Anyhoo, I went to my local Circuit City store and picked up a 6.6ft DVI-D (Single link 18 + 1 pin) male cable to hook both devices up. Should this work? If those have no idea what I'm talking about, I've included a link with a picture of allt he different DVI ports:

If I haven't explained myself well, please post and I'll do my best to clarify.

Am I missing something? Do you actually have a problem making this work? If the plugs you chose are mechanically compatible (and both are DVI D, dual-link), then there should not be a problem.
Ah. I see the concern. The extra four pins. I believe they make the connector able to supply hybrid DVI-A and DVI-D. The Mac output is hybrid so it can easily be adapted drive a VGA monitor, too.
I think you should be fine.
I have a ViewSonic 1600x1200 LCD monitor with a DVI (single) and it works superbly with the Mac.

For those who are interested in buying a W520: flaw summary

Hey,
I´m still indecisive whether I want to get my own W520 or not. Part of it of course is the number of issues people have been unveiling in this forum. For all those who are considering too, and for my self I'd like to summarize the bugs and flaws that are still present and those that had been fixed by Lenovo since the launch of the W520 back in march.
No question, the W520 is a nice and impressive machine and no laptop out there comes with really no problems at all.
I guess it's just looking like Lenovos are quite flawed these days because everyone expects those to be 100% fine, since they are thinkpads and thinkpads are as a matter of a fact flawless.
Quick list of things that should (hopefully) sooner or later be fixed:
Software bugs and flaws:
power management regulation that's supposed to keep the battery alive by limiting the CPU to 800 MHz does get confused by changing the power supply while sleeping, resulting in a throttled machine with AC power supply or a unthrottled machine running on battery, unless you plug-out and plug-in your power supply again while running
troublesome bluetooth driver wiped some harddrives (fixed now, or at least that particular driver is no longer downloadable)
fancontrol goes crazy and pulses every 5 or 30 seconds (for many people)
fan is too active (too loud) while having no or low load on the system
warmboot issues with an SSD as main drive delays startup because of an unnecessary check
some driver seems to constantly write something onto your main drive while the ODD is mounted (which would lead to wearing out a SSD, not confirmed by others yet)
Hardware bugs and flaws:
fan creates a high frequent noise starting at 2nd level of speed (?)
many accessory products like the docking station and the ultra bay HDD carrier were advertised as fitting for the W520 as well as for the W510, but obviously don't fit
(two people in this forum had dieing speakers that would do nothing but make a clicking noise)
Is this pretty much what I'll run into when I order my own W520 or did I miss something?
For the time being:
using TPFC
always restart manually with "shutdown" while using a ssd
double checking if it's the right docking and ultra bay for the w520
and plugging the power supply just after turning the machine on
solves all the issues reportet here, except for the high pitched noise of the fan, that many people complain about,
or doesn't it?
(not listed abone for beeing more a feature than a bug or something like that:
ultra nav issues caused by manufacturers settings
network issues caused by manufacturers setting
problems with unsupported ram)
so long,
and thanks for all the fish

The issue that is most annoying for me is"
- warmboot issues with an SSD as main drive delays startup (by 40 seconds) because of an unnecessary check
(I have the Intel 510 SSD).
Otherwise, the W520 is the best laptop I have ever owned and very FAST!!!

A Few Quick Tips For Those Who Are New To Fios Quantum and the New Quantum Update

Most of those who have quantum received the new update early this morning (8/12/14)
There are a lot of people that are new to fios who never had anything prior to quantum so I thought I'd make this post to help.
Those who had the older boxes prior to quantum should already know about all of this.
The new update now reflects what the older stb/dr's have and have had for awhile now. There are now more menu settings you will want to go through.
The ad banner guide at the bottom can be disabled. Go to menu > Notifications > Guide Banner > set to disable
The banner will still be there, but will show Verizon rather then ads.
The home screen can be turned off. There is an option to turn it off within the home screen or you can go to menu > Notifications > Promotions > set to disable
The led on the boxes have been changed. If you want to change it go to menu > System > Media Server Settings > LED Brightness.
The Auto Power Off option is set to 4 hours by default. If you don't want the box to turn off automatically you will want to disable this. Menu > System > Media Server Settings > Auto Power Off > set to none
There is now the option to change the guides banners times outs. Menu > Settings > System > Television > Info Bar Time Out (also Channel Bar Timeout)
Some on other forums mentioned the video formats have been changed so its a good idea to check the option out to see if it reflects what you want. Menu > Settings > Audio & Video > Video Settings > Video Format
The aspect # button now works so any SD channels that are boxed can now be stretched using the # button.
I'm happy to see this option back.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks for the info regarding the latest update. I like some of the new/improved options, however I am highly disappointed that the update discontinued the reminder option. I would think that setting a program reminder is a highly used feature and many will be unhappy now that it is gone. I know I surely am!

For those who are impatient for the Iphone 5 delivery. I got mine and didn't wait..

If you are impatient and want the iphone 5 in your hand the very next day, I suggest going to the apple site and place an order for in store pickup. Originally I placed my order with verizon and had a 3-4 week wait. Then I decided to cancel the verizon order and I got myself one the very next day and didn't have to wait for long delivery dates. Here is how I did it:
1) Go to http://www.apple.com/retail/iphone/
2) Notice the message "iPhone 5 is available in limited quantities. Buy it at your favorite Apple Retail Store or choose in-store pickup when you buy online between 10:00 p.m. and 4:00 a.m."
3) I have noticed that by the time you fill out the form information at 10pm, the iphone 5's are out of stock at your local store in probably 5 minutes. So they sell out really fast. So what I did to bypass the form was to login with my appleid and pre-fill the form around 9:30pm and SAVE it to the cart.
4) At this point, I needed to know exactly what store I wanted to pick it up from. I chose 3 stores around my area in order of preference in case if one didn't have it in stock I could move on to the next without wasting any time thinking about it at the time of checkout. When 9:55pm rolls around, I logged into my saved cart and checked out picking the store I wanted.
5) Then entered my payment information and picked it up the next day.
The only disadvantage to this approach was you may not get your preferred store, but this didn't bother me too much as I didn't want to wait 4 weeks for my phone. I hope this helps some people. If there are questions, I will try to answer.. Good luck to those still waiting!!

Question for those who've upgraded re: QuickTime interaction

For some of you who've upgraded (and those of you who haven't), I have a video that used to loop when using the older version of QuickTime, but doesn't loop for me using the newest version. I know some things changed in QuickTime for security, but I was unaware that it would affect this action.
I apologize in advance for the addictive nature of the song
http://web.mac.com/makentosh/iWeb/zample/crab.html
This video uses eZedia QTI to embed the "looping" in the streamed movie. Using this setup, a user would not have to edit the .js file of the site as the Autoplay="false" didn't apply in this case. What I wonder now is if it still works for users with the old un-upgraded QuickTime but doesn't work for the newer people. Just trying to determine if this is a true change for all users or if there's something particular about my setup.

It's caused by the missing QuickTime controller.
You'll notice that Loop is grayed out in your current file during playback and even adjusting the Movie Properties to add a controller version 7 does not allow your file to loop.
But 6.5.2 does work to allow "looping" if you add a controller. Of course I can't interact with your reference movie but the menu items for loop did activate.
Version 7.1.5 has some "hidden" features (I suspect related to TV) that actually use a different controller feature for chapter tracks and move them out of the controller and into a Menu item. Maybe sub titles?
Maybe it's time for your crab song to only play once?
Others have complained that 7.1.3 no longer allows Loop (from the Menu) to be saved with the file. I haven't fully tested that one.

For those who constantly lose their wireless internet connection using WRT54G

Ok I was constantly losing my wireless internet connection on my LAN network when using my laptop, I tried everything to no avail,until today. Heres what I did to solve my problem
1. Upgrade your firmware for the WRT54G to ver.6
2. Reset your wireless router
3. Unplug all cables and wires from your Pc and router
4. Connect your Pc directly to your cable modem and obtain an internet connection
5. Now transfer files you want to keep from your laptop onto a usb flash drive or burn them to a disk
6. Reformat your laptop so that it goes back to all factory settings just like when you bought it
7. When completely done reformatting run software that came with the WRT54G on your desktop pc and follow all instructions,when prompted to type password type the password you last used
8. Go to your laptop and it should pickup a LAN,click connect, it will ask for the encryption key so type it in(whatever you typed when re-installing your wireless router)
Congratulations you are now back up and running,install files saved earlier back on your laptop and enjoy.This is what I did and it solved my problem as a matter of fact i typed this from my laptop and has not dropped my wireless internet connection yet.
NOTE SAVE ANY AND ALL FILES YOU WANT TO KEEP AS REFORMATTING WILL CAUSE YOU TO LOSE DATA!
IAM IN NO WAY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY ERRORS OR PROBLEMS THIS PROCEDURE COULD CAUSE IF DONE INCORRECTLY!

If you bought a version 5 or 6 return it to where you bought and apply the money towards a WRT54GL v1.x You'll be much happier. You could spend time online rather than pulling your hair out trying to figure out whats wrong. I setup 6 Linux based WRT54G's with no issues before I was given the task of setting up a version 6. Worked for about an hour. Told the guy to return it for a GL. Long story short, set it up in a matter of minutes and he was online. That was 3 weeks ago and he is very happy.

Att: For those who are good in Thread.....

Why does JFrame freezes(meaning no effect on any of its components) when Thread.sleep() is running? Is there anyway to overcome it?
How do i know when the Thread ends? I use the isAlive() method ?

It depends on for which thread you have called Thread.sleep().
If it as a thread you have started it should be no problem. But if
you call Thread.sleep() within a method called by the event dispatcher,
you get the described behaviour. If the event dispatcher sleeps, no
other event can be passed to your application.

Question for those who upgraded to Aviator Silver WEMC

Hello, I recently upgraded to the Silver WEMC and I noticed that above the credit line it says "Revolving Credit Line" vs my Rewards Mastercard that just says "credit line". Does anyone know the difference?

It's likely that is in fact a flexible spending line meaning you can spend above your credit line in any given statement so long as you pay min plus overage when due.

IPod Info for those who need it

Just thought I'd give some help to those who need it.
- For those who are having trouble with their ipods accepting some videos and not others, try shortening the names of the video files. As long as the video files are in the proper format, this should clear up that issue.
- For those who want to get the songs off of your ipod without having to worry about the iTunes one-way syncing issue the following programs will help you with that:
PodPlus
iPod Agent
- For those who are just curious, here are the size incriments for data:
Bit
Byte
Kilobyte
Megabyte
Gigabyte
Terabyte
Pentabyte
I've got the 5th gen iPod and after a little finessing, I think I've got it all pretty much figured out. So, if anyone has questions, gimme a shout. Or maybe you've got some cool ideas I can use!

What is an ideal average setting for my homemade iMovies?
Settings for your iMovie for what? If your are talking about conversion to an iPod compatible format, which format? Are you more concerned with quality or quantity?
First, what's the best, fastest and easiest way to convert these iMovies to the H.264 (is that done through iMovie or QT Pro or both) and what other settings (audio for one) should I be using besides the standard 30 fps ?
Your are using the same QT tools whether you convert directly from iMovie or indirectly via QT Pro using a reference file. (I.e., the only time you save is the time it takes to write the reference file itself.)
Define what you mean by best.
The "Movie to iPod (320x240)" option is the fastest in terms of programming your conversion but the slowest in terms of time it take for processing. The "Movie to MPEG4" option is slower/harder to program for a single pass H.264 encode, but takes half the time to process as the dedicated H.264 option. MPEG4 video options (single pass and 2-pass modes) are faster than H.264 codec. Audio options are the same for both H.264 and MPEG4 formats -- AAC LC. I personally would stick with the 44.1 kbps sampling rate and 128 kbps data rate for audio but you could take it up to 48 kbps at 160 kbps if you want. As to frame rate, I would stick with the current (original) setting of your source. 30 (29.97) fps provides the smoothest flow of motion. You could, of course, try 24 or even 15 fps in some cases to see if it is acceptable. Dropping below 12 fps would probably be unacceptable to most people. But you're the producer and director here, so you have to make up your own mind.

A question for people who owns a MSI GP60 2QE Leopard

1. How long can you play on it before it overheats?
2. Currently how many games do you have on it?
3. Do you game on batteries or ac?
4. For those who do their gaming on battery, how long does the battery usually last for? Would you reccomend gaming on battery?

I can't believe I forgot to say this, but for those who are wondering why I'm asking these questions. It's because I'm thinking of buying one but I want to know a little more about it first.

Open Question: question to those who comment about the lack of apps for Windows Phone 8

We have read every Lumia review and we are listening. An open question to those who comment about the lack of apps for Windows Phone 8.Tell us which apps you miss? Nokia/MSFT Customer Care

The major apps that are missing are Banking Apps. There are a few, but major banks like Regions Bank, Capital One Bank, are nowhere to be found for Windows Phone. Microsoft should be pursuing these banks to develop apps for the platform. Maybe bribe them with free software or tech support or something. Also some of the dating apps like Grindr for the gay community, Blender for the straight community, are lacking as well. Perhaps Microsoft could assist them in developing the "unified" app for both Windows and Windows Phone?
In fact, Microsoft would do well to begin a "Developer Assistance Program" where developers could (for a small fee) contact the DAP Center and get assistance with issues creating apps for the Windows Platform. If developers know they have a source to go for assistance, they may be more inclinded to develop better apps.

I upgraded to OS8 for my Iphone 5 and now I have no access to e-mail and several apps. How can I address this problem? For those who have an iphone 5 I recommend not upgrading to the new OS until these bugs are resolved.

I upgraded to OS8 for my Iphone 5 and now I have no access to e-mail and several apps. How can I address this problem? For those who have an iphone 5 I recommend not upgrading to the new OS until these bugs are resolved.

I foolishly downloaded OS8 on my iPhone 4S. It not only greyed out my wifi button making it impossiblr to use wifi, but bluetooth connection doesn't work either. I reset the phone to factory settings but that did nothing apart from loose all my photos and contacts. OS 8 was still on after too. Apple say it is a problem but the download only brought the fact the hardware was faulty to the fore, but not being under warranty , the repair would cost £166 that I would have to pay. Totally unacceptable. If the problem was known and they knew it would cause problems on older models, why have it bob up on iTUNES for download.
Don;t download it guys, APPLE aren't admitting culpability and it will cost you a fortune to put right!!

Question to those who have upgraded to a G4 chip .

Hey everyone I am upgrading my Lombard (got a slot load cd burner with dvd player ordered for it and getting more ram next check ) and I want to know to those who have upgraded their 500 pismos to the 550 G4 could you really tell a difference from when you had the G3 from the G4 . Like in watching videos on youtube for instance . I am really thinking about this upgrade for my next project .

Video does work better, but the old ATI video chips are the same so it won't be a night-and-day type of difference. Things that use the vector processing (Altivec) in the G4 should show the most difference, like encoding audio and exporting video.
There's a long running similar topic here with lots of commentary.
