Question regarding Dani Beaumont's video "What's new in Aug. 13": menu first moving, then fixed.
Hi there!
In the Muse-video of Dani Beaumont "What's new in Aug. 13" the possibilities of rollover-stats for anchor links are shown. But what also can be seen as a side effect: the menu Dani speaks about is scrolling up altogether with the site and then stays fixed right under the header menu while the rest of the site is still scrolling up (see minute 01:10 - 01:15). The element is released later when scrolling down again. Now here is my question: How can this be done? Is it part of the parallax function or is there a different trick for it?
Best regards,
bartl

Thank you Vikas!
Now here is another question, perhaps you know about that as well: to create a site with smooth scrolling which looks like a single site - do I indeed have to make a very long single site, or can I indicate somewhere that all my pages from the site plan have to be put one below the other automatically?
Cheers,

Some simple questions regarding the Xcode.
I have some preliminary questions regarding the Xcode (objective C):
What is the difference between the programming files followed by .h and .m?
What does an asterisk * followed by a text mean (i.e. *window;)?
Is there any source that briefly explains the most common codes with examples (nsstring, nsarray, iboutlet, inaction.....etc)?
Any other tips will be highly appreciated.
Many thanks.Xcode is the IDE.
Objective-C is the most common language used within Xcode.
UIWindow *window ..... the * means return the address of the instance variable 'window'.
An * is called a pointer to a variable.

Hello, I have a question regarding the sharing on iMovie. I have just recently purchased an Elgato Gaming Capture HD and I then finished my recording with that and put it into imovie. I worked long and hard on the project and when I go click the share feature on iMovie all the noral options pop up and when I actually click where I want to share it to nothing at all happens. If you know what is wrong/ what I am doing wrong please let me know.
Thank you.
PS: I am using iMovie 10.0.6./*line 957 error */

Technical question regarding Video Preview options in Seq Settings
I am trying to wrap my head around some of the unique differences between FCP7 and PrP 5.5. What is the function of the Video Preview choices in the Sequence Setting menu? It seems standardized to I Frame Only MPEG with other options depending on what your source footage is. Why would I use this setting as opposed to 1080 (for an AJA sequence made from Prores footage) or P2 (for an Adobe seq built from the same Prores footage) or Red which gives you no options then the one I just mentioned?
In FCP when things were rendered they were used when I would export the sequence. Is PrP 5.5 the same? If I am previewing a 1080 sequence in I Frame Only MPEG, does that mean on output the whole entire sequence and effects need rendering? What is the best work flow when using Adobe or AJA sequences in regard to this Video Preview setting? It is so different from what I am used to I want to make informed choices.Maximum Bit Depth is only suitable when ingesting 4:2:2 material and exporting with AJA or BM
Oh, man... not again. This is not true, at all. Maximum Bit Depth has nothing to do with 4:2:2 AJA or BlackMagic. And Maximum Bit Depth is not just for use with 10-bit or greater source footage. It can be used with 8-bit material--DV, H.264, MPEG2, anything--to great benefit.
(The following is copied and pasted since I've written it so many times...)
What Maximum Bit Depth (either in the Sequence Settings or in the Export Settings) does is enable Premiere Pro to render and composite in 32-bit floating point color. It has nothing (or at least, little) to do with the source footage, but controls how effects and transformations that shift pixels around are rendered. Any effect in the Effects panel that has a 32-bit badge on it will benefit from Maximum Bit Depth--the expense is greater memory requirements and processing time, but the payoff is a higher degree of color fidelity and precision in the rendered image. Gaussian Blur, for example, is a 32-bit effect that will show a great difference between when it is rendered with MBD on versus when it is off--even if you're rendering/exporting to an 8-bit format, like DV.
From Karl Soule's article on this topic, The Video Road – Understanding Color Processing: 8-bit, 10-bit, 32-bit, and more:
A DV file with a blur and a color corrector exported to DV without the max bit depth flag. We will import the 8-bit DV file, apply the blur to get an 8-bit frame, apply the color corrector to the 8-bit frame to get another 8-bit frame, then write DV at 8-bit.
A DV file with a blur and a color corrector exported to DV with the max bit depth flag. We will import the 8-bit DV file, apply the blur to get an 32-bit frame, apply the color corrector to the 32-bit frame to get another 32-bit frame, then write DV at 8-bit. The color corrector working on the 32-bit blurred frame will be higher quality then the previous example.
A DV file with a blur and a color corrector exported to DPX with the max bit depth flag. We will import the 8-bit DV file, apply the blur to get an 32-bit frame, apply the color corrector to the 32-bit frame to get another 32-bit frame, then write DPX at 10-bit. This will be still higher quality because the final output format supports greater precision.
A DPX file with a blur and a color corrector exported to DPX without the max bit depth flag. We will clamp 10-bit DPX file to 8-bits, apply the blur to get an 8-bit frame, apply the color corrector to the 8-bit frame to get another 8-bit frame, then write 10-bit DPX from 8-bit data.
A DPX file with a blur and a color corrector exported to DPX with the max bit depth flag. We will import the 10-bit DPX file, apply the blur to get an 32-bit frame, apply the color corrector to the 32-bit frame to get another 32-bit frame, then write DPX at 10-bit. This will retain full precision through the whole pipeline.
A title with a gradient and a blur on a 8-bit monitor. This will display in 8-bit, may show banding.
A title with a gradient and a blur on a 10-bit monitor (with hardware acceleration enabled.) This will render the blur in 32-bit, then display at 10-bit. The gradient should be smooth.
What Maximum Bit Depth does is allow Premiere Pro's rendering engine to have more room to run, with a higher degree of precision. It's important to remember that rendering internally is different than exporting--and even when you're "rendering" previews, you're actually exporting, because you're creating composited video files of one sort or another. That's why there is a Maximum Bit Depth checkbox in the Sequence Settings--that affects preview files, not exports. When you're using hardware MPE, you're always operating in MBD--or more specifically, you're rendering in 32-bit linear color. Generally, this is "better," though I've lamented about the negative effects of linear color processing, e.g. annoying opacity differences on dissolves, shaggy alpha channels, etc.
The bottom line is that Maximum Bit Depth allows Premiere Pro to generate better (subjective), more technically accurate (objective) output, regardless of the input and output format. -

Question regarding Graphics - Print Forms
Hi,
This is a print forms question. We are on ECC 5.0, basis release 640
Currently, for all our SAPscripts, we have our graphics as TIF files stored as text modules.
For our Smartforms, we loaded BMP files to the BDS using transaction SE78.
Adobe brings up the exciting possibility of using smaller sized JPG/JPEG files.
The only place I can think of storing the JPEG files in the SAP system is the MIME Repository. Looks like SE78 does not support JPEG files.
Here's my requirement and question.
In the mime repository, I created folder 'LOGOS' in SAP/PUBLIC. So, the path would be /SAP/PUBLIC/LOGOS
The names of the files in the mime repository are 'LOGO_A' and 'LOGO_B'.
We need to print the company logo based on company code.
If company code is 'A' then 'LOGO_A' else, 'LOGO_B'.
We are reluctant to read the graphic in the ABAP program and pass the whole content through the Interface.
I cannot embed the graphic in the form since the LOGO will change based on company code.
Since we can use an url for an image field in Adobe forms, how can I point the url to the mime repository?
Any help on this is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Best regards,
-RameshThanks Markus.
By what you said, I am inferring that you mean access to load the graphic files to the Mime Repository.
My question is to read the Mime repository since users of bsp applications can still see the LOGOs in their bsp pages (I think. Never did BSP before).
Here is what I am doing currently.
Here's my interface:
LOGO_DATA TYPE XSTRING.
In my driver program, I am reading the Mime Repository graphic into an XSTRING and passing it through the interface to the LOGO_DATA field.
I created a Graphic in the Context and set it to 'Graphic Content'.
I am setting the 'Field' property to LOGO_DATA and MIME Type to 'image/jpeg'
Now,
Instead of reading and sending the whole binary content across through the function call, I am looking to see if the following would be possible:
Interface:
LOGO_URL TYPE STRING
In the driver program, assign the URL of the Graphic to field LOGO_URL (Don't know how yet).
In the context, create a Graphic and set it to 'Graphic Reference'
In the URL property, set the Graphic URL property to LOGO_URL field and then clear out the delimiter field.
If it is not possible with the Mime Repository, will it be possible with the Business Document Server (Transaction SE78).
Thank you.
Best regards,
-Ramesh -
Questions regarding customisation/configuration of PS CS4
Hello
I have accumulated a list of questions regarding customising certain things in Photoshop. I don't know if these things are doable and if so, how.
Can I make it so that the list of blending options for a layer is by default collapsed when you first apply any options?
Can I make it possible to move the canvas even though I'm not zoomed in enough to only have parts of it visible on my screen?
Is it possible to enable a canvas rotate shortcut, similar to the way you can Alt+RightClick to quickly change brush size?
Is it possible to lock button positions? Sometimes I accidentally drag them around when I meant to click.
Is it possible to lock panel sizes? For example, if I have the Navigator and the Layers panels vertically in the same group, can I lock the height of the navigator so that I don't have to re-adjust it all the time? Many panels have a minimum height so I guess what I am asking for is if it's possible to set a maximum height as well.
Is it possible to disable Photoshop from automatically appending "copy" at the end of layer/folder names when I duplicate them?
These are things I'd really like to change to my liking as they are problems I run into on a daily basis.
I hope someone can provide some nice solutionsNyanPrime wrote:

2. No. It's a sore spot that got some forum time when Photoshop CS4 was first released, then again with CS5. It's said that the rules change slightly when using full-screen mode, though I personally haven't tried it.
3. Not sure, since I haven't tried it. However, you may want to explore the Edit - Keyboard Shortcuts... menu, if you haven't already.
4. What buttons are you talking about? Those you are creating in your document? If so, choose the layer you want to lock in the LAYERS panel, then look at the little buttons just above the listing of the layers:
5. There are many, many options for positioning and sizing panels. Most start with making a panel visible, then dragging it somewhere by its little tab. One of the important features is that you can save your preferred layout as a named workspace. Choose the Window - Workspace - New Workspace... to create a new named workspace (or to update one you've already created). The name of that menu is a little confusing. Once you have created your workspace, if something gets out of place, choose Window - Workspace - Reset YourNamedWorkspace to bring it back to what was saved.
You'll find that panels like to "stick together", which helps with arranging them outside of the Photoshop main window.
As an example, I use two monitors, and this is my preferred layout:
6. No, it's not possible to affect the layer names Photoshop generates, as far as I know. I have gotten in the habit of immediately naming them per their usage, so that I don't confuse myself (something that's getting easier and easier to do...).
Hope this helps!

Question regarding ONT connection via Ethernet and Cable cards
Hi,
We recently upgraded to Fios Quation 150Mbps/65 plan. We are not getting the advertised speeds (we only get like 5mbps upload) so verizon is sending a tech to switch the ONT connection from coax to ethernet.
I have 2 questions regarding this new setup:
1. If the ONT communicates with the Fios Actiontect router via ethernet instead of coax from now on, How will the set top boxes and Tivo-esque cable card powered device I currently have connected to coax, talk to the verizon system from now on, if coax is taken out of the equation? Will fios signal still flow through the internal coax wiring of the house? And moreover, I was under the impression that coax was the way set top boxes communicated and derived independent ip addresses from the Fios router, for on deman purposes and what not. How will this work from now on?
Quiestion 2.
Right next to the wall where the ONT sits, theres's a basement office where we have a PC that connects to the Fios system via an Actiontect MoCa adapter (ECB2500C) which I assume derives it internet connection from the Fios Actiontec router which sits upstairs in the living room.
Again, with the Coax about to be disabled next Friday in favor of ethernet connection from the ONT, I assume this PC will be left without internet because of the lack of internet signal in the coax? Is this correct?
Question 2.5 If my above assumption is correct, since this office is right on the other side of the wall where the ONT sits outside the house, would it be possible to run an ethernet wire through the wall that connects straight from the ONT to an ethernet switch inside the office, from which I would derive a connection for this basement PC (properly firewalled of course) and then, from said switch, continue running the ethernet wire that would ultimately reach the Actiontec Fios router upstairs from which the rest of the house derives it's internet? and would this setup affect in any way the propper functioning of the cable boxes in the house?
I'd appreciate your input and any help you can provide so I can have a ballpark idea of what to tell the Fios guy to do when he comes on Friday.
Cheers.
Solved!
Go to Solution.It's not valid to have two devices connected to the ONT, PC and VZ Router. Must be a single device. The ONT locks onto the MAC Address of the first device it sees. Since you have TV you should have the VZ router as the internet facing router.
Other options:
1. Have the VZ Router located next to the PC in the basement and then use Wireless for all other PC's.
2. Have the VZ Router located next to the PC in the basement but run one wire upstairs and connect a switch where other PCs and devices can connect via a wire.
Hope that helps. -
I have some questions regarding setting up a software RAID 0 on a Mac Pro
I have some questions regarding setting up a software RAID 0 on a Mac pro (early 2009).
These questions might seem stupid to many of you, but, as my last, in fact my one and only, computer before the Mac Pro was a IICX/4/80 running System 7.5, I am a complete novice regarding this particular matter.
A few days ago I installed a WD3000HLFS VelociRaptor 300GB in bay 1, and moved the original 640GB HD to bay 2. I now have 2 bootable internal drives, and currently I am using the VR300 as my startup disk. Instead of cloning from the original drive, I have reinstalled the Mac OS, and all my applications & software onto the VR300. Everything is backed up onto a WD SE II 2TB external drive, using Time Machine. The original 640GB has an eDrive partition, which was created some time ago using TechTool Pro 5.
The system will be used primarily for photo editing, digital imaging, and to produce colour prints up to A2 size. Some of the image files, from scanned imports of film negatives & transparencies, will be 40MB or larger. Next year I hope to buy a high resolution full frame digital SLR, which will also generate large files.
Currently I am using Apple's bundled iPhoto, Aperture 2, Photoshop Elements 8, Silverfast Ai, ColorMunki Photo, EZcolor and other applications/software. I will also be using Photoshop CS5, when it becomes available, and I will probably change over to Lightroom 3, which is currently in Beta, because I have had problems with Aperture, which, until recent upgrades (HD, RAM & graphics card) to my system, would not even load images for print. All I had was a blank preview page, and a constant, frozen "loading" message - the symbol underneath remained static, instead of revolving!
It is now possible to print images from within Aperture 2, but I am not happy with the colour fidelity, whereas it is possible to produce excellent, natural colour prints using its "minnow" sibling, iPhoto!
My intention is to buy another 3 VR300s to form a 4 drive Raid 0 array for optimum performance, and to store the original 640GB drive as an emergency bootable back-up. I would have ordered the additional VR300s already, but for the fact that there appears to have been a run on them, and currently they are out of stock at all, but the more expensive, UK resellers.
I should be most grateful to receive advice regarding the following questions:
QUESTION 1:
I have had a look at the RAID setting up facility in Disk Utility and it states: "To create a RAID set, drag disks or partitions into the list below".
If I install another 3 VR300s, can I drag all 4 of them into the "list below" box, without any risk of losing everything I have already installed on the existing VR300?
Or would I have to reinstall the OS, applications and software again?
I mention this, because one of the applications, Personal accountz, has a label on its CD wallet stating that the Licence Key can only be used once, and I have already used it when I installed it on the existing VR300.
QUESTION 2:
I understand that the failure of just one drive will result in all the data in a Raid 0 array being lost.
Does this mean that I would not be able to boot up from the 4 drive array in that scenario?
Even so, it would be worth the risk to gain the optimum performance provide by Raid 0 over the other RAID setup options, and, in addition to the SE II, I will probably back up all my image files onto a portable drive as an additional precaution.
QUESTION 3:
Is it possible to create an eDrive partition, using TechTool Pro 5, on the VR300 in bay !?
Or would this not be of any use anyway, in the event of a single drive failure?
QUESTION 4:
Would there be a significant increase in performance using a 4 x VR300 drive RAID 0 array, compared to only 2 or 3 drives?
QUESTION 5:
If I used a 3 x VR300 RAID 0 array, and installed either a cloned VR300 or the original 640GB HD in bay 4, and I left the Startup Disk in System Preferences unlocked, would the system boot up automatically from the 4th. drive in the event of a single drive failure in the 3 drive RAID 0 array which had been selected for startup?
Apologies if these seem stupid questions, but I am trying to determine the best option without foregoing optimum performance.Well said.
Steps to set up RAID
Setting up a RAID array in Mac OS X is part of the installation process. This procedure assumes that you have already installed Mac OS 10.1 and the hard drive subsystem (two hard drives and a PCI controller card, for example) that RAID will be implemented on. Follow these steps:
1. Open Disk Utility (/Applications/Utilities).
2. When the disks appear in the pane on the left, select the disks you wish to be in the array and drag them to the disk panel.
3. Choose Stripe or Mirror from the RAID Scheme pop-up menu.
4. Name the RAID set.
5. Choose a volume format. The size of the array will be automatically determined based on what you selected.
6. Click Create.
Recovering from a hard drive failure on a mirrored array
1. Open Disk Utility in (/Applications/Utilities).
2. Click the RAID tab. If an issue has occurred, a dialog box will appear that describes it.
3. If an issue with the disk is indicated, click Rebuild.
4. If Rebuild does not work, shut down the computer and replace the damaged hard disk.
5. Repeat steps 1 and 2.
6. Drag the icon of the new disk on top of that of the removed disk.
7. Click Rebuild.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2559
Drive A + B = VOLUME ONE
Drive C + D = VOLUME TWO
What you put on those volumes is of course up to you and easy to do.
A system really only needs to be backed up "as needed" like before you add or update or install anything.
/Users can be backed up hourly, daily, weekly schedule
Media files as needed.
Things that hurt performance:
Page outs
Spotlight - disable this for boot drive and 'scratch'
SCRATCH: Temporary space; erased between projects and steps.

(normally I'd link to Wikipedia but I can't load right now)
Disk drives are the slowest component, so tackling that has always made sense. Easy way to make a difference. More RAM only if it will be of value and used. Same with more/faster processors, or graphic card.

Questions regarding how I pay my Line Rental Bill ...
Hi BT, I'm currently a BE Broadband customer, I was a BT Broadband customer back in the days when you had BT Home Hub 1.0 and 8mb packages which i was only getting like 5-6mb, 0.3mb upload and constant speed caps on my connection to 1mb. You guys didn't have true unlimited usage back then so being a gamer and someone that frequently downloads I changed to BE broadband. They gave me a steady 11mb connection with 1.3mb upload speed which I've been satisfied with. But now BE Broadband has been sold off to Sky which I don't think I want to be apart of as I've heard a lot of bad feedback and I really do not want to be forced into paying their line rental if I where to switch to Sky Unlimited.
So now I'm considering coming back to BT Broadband, knowing that you've probably improved over the years. I hope so. I know you have this whole BT Infinity going now but my area doesn't support fibre optic broadband and probably never will because I've looked on the BT Openreach website and it says there are no plans for my area to be installed with fibre optics which I would of wanted to have but oh well. What are the chances of my internet speed being the same as it is now with BE Broadband? I don't see why it would go any slower. Are your upload speeds around the same?
Also I have a question regarding the payment methods of your BT Line rental. I'm currently already on the BT line rental on the anytime calling plan. I pay the bill quarterly every 3 months, which I'm comfortable with. What confuses me is when I select the package to order BT Unlimited + Calls I only have the option to select Monthly Line Rental or Line Rental Saver. Why am I able to pay my phone every 3 months if those are the only two options? I'd prefrably want to stick to how I pay my phone bill. So further more how should I go about ordering BT Unlimited broadband without it interfering with my currrent BT line rental? I just want BT Broadband unlimited along side my current BT line rental method of pay. Would I still be eligible for the 6 months free and the gift card. Is the BT Home Hub 4 that comes with it free also? Also one more question, I'd need my MAC code from BE Broadband right?This is a community forum. The people on here are other BT customers.
The speeds have certainly improved but only if BT's equipment at your exchange supports ADSL2/2+. If not, you'll get what you had before. While the speeds have improved, the same can't be said for the customer service. Upload on ADSL2+ can be up to about 1.2M. On ADSLMax, it's still capped at 448K.
BT like to combine broadband and phone on one bill. So if you get line rental and broadband, they will send you one monthly bill for both. You might be able to get them separately, but not through the web site. Try sales on 0800 800 150. -
I have a question regarding my txt/alert tones. I recently updated my iPhone 5's software without first backing it up on iCloud or my computer (oops). After my phone finished updating, i lost the new ringtones and txt/alert tones i had bought. I connected my iPhone to my computer and sync'd it hoping that it could download my purchases from the itunes store and then put them back on to my phone but no such luck. When i look at my iphone on my computer and look at tones, they do not show up at all. However, if i click on the "On This iPhone" tab and click on "Tones" the deleted ringtones and altert tones show up...they are just grey'd out and have a dotted circle to the left of them. I also tried to go to the iTunes store on my phone and redownload them and it tells me that i have already purchased this ringtone and asks me if i want to buy it again. I press Cancel. I know when i do that with music it would usually let me redownload the song without buying it again but it wont let me with the ringtones...so how do i get them back? any help would be greatly appreicated
Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,

I have an iPhone and recently bought an iPod 4 touch what l am using the same apple ID for. The iPod won't let me download songs from iTunes it is asking me security questions which I don't think I have put answers to in the first place, because of this it won't let me buy any songs on iTunes
It's probably asking you to verify the security code found on the back of your credit card.

Question about CPU usage for video playback
I've asked a related question already on the Safari forum, but would like some clarification, please.
The speed of this iMac is 400 MHZ and whenever I go to YouTube or almost any other site that requires video I see that the CPU usage can peak way up at 80% or more. I have Flash 9 installed which has a minimum of 500 MHZ, so I get pretty choppy video, but that's not the issue here. I can live with that. I keep any other applications closed. I'm often running a small fan over the top of the iMac to help vent the buildup of heat. I can monitor the temperature at the Hard Drive and I suppose that gives me an idea, of sorts, about general temperature conditions inside.
The answer I got was that this kind of CPU usage could be detrimental to the processor as it builds up excessive heat and to keep this kind of video to a minimum.
My question is can anyone roughly suggest what a maximum time on YouTube, for example, would be, 2 minutes, 5 minutes, is 10 minutes too long? I have plenty of RAM at 768. Some guidelines?
Thanks.Hey WZZZ,
Thanks for the star and kind words.
I'm the de facto Mac guy at my kids' school and we have around 25 iMac Slot Loaders working there. You can imagine they get abused quite a bit. There are 10 running Garage Band in the Music Department. That puts a tremendous strain on the CPU and I'm actually surprised that they run it so well. My son had a 600 iMac running GarageBand, he was complaining that it was getting jumpy and when I looked at it he was running 10 unlocked tracks simultaneously! So now he has an eMac G4 800 and that of course runs a lot better.
So to sum up, with all the abuse of those machines in terms of the CPUs the problems I have with them have nothing to do with that. The problems have more to do with parts of the OS that they toss, headphone jacks abused, CDs jammed in the slots, and the like.
A couple of other related things. I've got Hardware Monitor, demo, installed and I think it reported it could only find the hard drive sensor, if I'm not mistaken - nothing else on this Mac with a sensor. Is that right?
I see references to CPU sensors on 400 iMacs but on the 400 I have here for repair Temperature Monitor reports no sensors. Perhaps there were different versions of the 400.
But very good to hear that the fan is a good idea for CRT related things. Should I keep the fan running-mostly for that hard core CRT stuff- even if the computer is sleeping and the room temp. is only around 62-64 F.? (We need to put on warm clothes to sit in front of this thing now, but worth it to keep this old machine happy).
On the one I did the fan pushed the airflow in the direction of the passive flow of the iMac - in at the bottom and out the grill by the handle.
One more question, more out of curiosity than anything else: If I move this small clip-on fan close to the case - right now it's about 3 feet away and the image is stable - the screen begins to flicker and flutter quite a lot. My theory is that that's happening not necessarily because of electro-magnetic interference from the fan motor, but rather, because the back of the tube is getting cooled unevenly. What do you think?
Well the classic failures that I see in the iMac are in this order:
1) Dielectric breakdown of the flyback transformers internal insulation. This is heat/age related and a common problem with CRTs in general.
2) Breakdown of high voltage electolytic capacitors and regular high voltage capacitors on the neck board and PAV supply.
3) Solder problems with the flyback itself. This is diagnosed by the upside down boot technique.
I used to repair these problems but now it's easier for me to swap the Firewire boards into working 350s. I've got 12 of those in the basement currently.
