Quick question from a non intel person

If an intel cpu has a FSB of 800MHz, does that make it incompatible with a mobo with a FSB of 533? i'm an AMD user, please forgive me for being completely illiterate about this stuff

lol thanks bosskiller.... was following up to the underclocked at 200FSB ... after that i totally lost... thanks tho
"an intel cpu has a FSB of 800MHz, does that make it incompatible with a mobo with a FSB of 533?"
Intel Front Bus Speed (CPU FSBx4(bus multipler) etc 800FSB on intel means 200FSB on CPU...if mobo support max 533Front Bus speed thats mean CPU must be runnings at 133FSB (133x4bus multipler=533FSB)
(133FSBxMultipler=CPU Frequency), (CPU FSBx4=Intel Front Bus)
maybe someone with better english will explain better.. if you confused.

Quick question from future mac user

Hi there.
Just a quick question about the Intel iMacs.
Total noob with Macs so please forgive me, I'm looking to get away from Windows and PC's but not sure what I would need exactly.
Would the 24":3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo iMac with 4GBs of RAM and 1TB hdd be more than enough to handle video/audio editing with Final Cut Pro Studio, some gaming (such as newer MMO games or RPG/FPS games) and maybe running VMware Fusion for running Windows apps and games that I have/use that are either not available or not yet supported by Apple?
Or would I be looking at goin with the Mac Pro?
I'd rather shoot for the iMac because I'm SO tired of PC's and boxes and would like my computer to actually look nice as well as kick butt. But I'm just worried that if I got with the iMac I won't be able to perform those functions well or at all.
I love the look and feel of the iMac although I don't think you can get more than 4GBs of RAM or more than ONE hard drive inside (which isn't a big concern as I can always use external drives) so I'm just wondering if upgrading to the extra ram and hdd space from the get go would be a great help without having to worry about adding more later.
I'd like to be able to just use the iMac than the Mac Pro because the price difference seems to jump up quite a bit between iMac and Mac Pro. I'm just worried if that type of iMac setup wouldn't be enough for what I need.
Any suggestions or information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Janin

The iMac in general is more than enough to perform those tasks well however the Mac Pro still has it's advantages. Lenn already went over those so take a look at these speed scores as they may help you to make your decision.

Either way I recommend getting the base RAM configuration from Apple and purchase RAM from OWC.

Transferring from old non intel iMac to new intel iMac

I have a non intel iMac with 10.5.8 and no 800 Firewire. I have just purchased a new iMac with Snow Leopard and of course, no 400 firewire. The wrong adapter (400 to 800) was sent with the machine. The setup instructions said I could use ethernet after installing a "Setup Program" on the old Mac that was included on the new Mac's disk. When I tried to install the program, it wouldn't install as I did not have 10.6 on the old computer.
Please tell me the best way to set up this new computer: using the ethernet cable and migration assistant, or wait and get the correct adapter and use a firewire cable to transfer. I have not set up the new computer; it is just sitting right now.
Many thanks.

You're probably referring to the section of this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3231
in the first point under *Starting your migration:*
"Always ensure that the computer you are migrating from is updated with the latest releases of Apple Software. Determine if your computer is up-to-date by going to the Apple menu and selecting Software Update. Apply all the latest updates, including the Migration and DVD/CD Sharing Update, before you start your migration."
The Migration and DVD/CD Sharing Update link is to this: http://support.apple.com/downloads/Migrationand_DVD_and_CD_SharingUpdate
Which also refers to this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3174
As I read that, it seems to indicate that it's only needed on 10.5.5, so it may not apply to your 10.5.8 Mac.
Try using +Setup Assistant+ anyway -- it may work.
See How do I set up a new Mac from my old Mac or its backups? or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of the +Snow Leopard > Installation and Setup+ forum, for more info and step-by-step instructions.
If you've already set up a user account on the new Mac, you'd have to erase the internal HD and reinstall OSX to use Setup Assistant.
Or, use the similar +Migration Assistant+ per the pink box in the link above. Just note that you can't be logged on to the new Mac with an account that has the same name as any on the old one -- see the last window there.

1 quick question from a newbie

First let me introduce myself. Hi my name is Jbird123 whats yours?
Ok now then, I just got FCE today.
First question is do I need a camera with a fire wire port, I have a cannon fs100 that only has usb. what setup do I choose for this camera.( In the easy setup menu it only has fire wire options) can I use this or will I need to get one with a fire wire port?.
I also read threw the maual a little and put my scratch disk setting to my external fire wire hd. What about the FCE document folders? I put this on the external hd aswell, (autosave, capture scratch, render files, ect.) Was that cool or what?
I plan on only using this software for uploading vids to youtube. Thanks for any responses.

I know what you mean about not wanting to have your external hard drive connected all the time. However, I believe that if you have any of those locations (including capture scratch) set to your external it will need to be connected to your computer in order to boot FCE (I know mine does). I could be wrong, so an easy way to check would be to set everything but capture scratch to your internal and then see if it needs the external to boot up.
About the external editors, they would not explain your need to render your audio. Rendering is needed after almost any change is made to your media in the timeline. The external editors are so if you right click on your media, and click "open in editor," then it will open up that program to edit it. I personally keep these open in editor fields blank as I prefer to edit my media in their default editors instead of taking the risk that the media will be changed in any way when opened in an external program. (Then again, I don't have Soundtrack, and so can't advise you in that area.) Setting the external editor to Soundtrack would not explain your need to render, that is probably because the changes you made can't be previewed in real time.
Hope I was of help.

Quick questions from a new ATV user

Hi guys
I've got today my ATV, like it so far...until i updated the software
now seems that when i play a video, the video freeze for few seconds, then it starts again; is kinda annoying especially when you watch a trailer; anyway seems that is random, so nothing that can be done.
My questions:
1)why i can't copy stuff on the ATV like i do with my ipod touch? is annoying that it takes hours to copy a movie, when i could connect it via usb and get the work done, instead of waiting 2 hours to sync few episodes of a show (i have an airport extreme....).
2) how can i pair the remote with the ATV only, instead of causing issues to all my MACs at home every time that i try to use the ATV?
3) is there a manual somewhere, except the 3 pages manual available online and in the box?
4) i saw a lot of hacks to play divx and other video formats....any chance to see an update from Apple instead of void the warranty to install these hacks?
Thanks a lot for the help...so far i like this little device, but i am surprised about the fact that the usb port is there for no reason...while on the airport extreme can be used to attach drives and printer any mod to attach an external storage?

Thanks for the answers
1) by ethernet cable you mean a cross cable between the mac and the ATV, or a simple connection with the router (Airport Extreme)? because in this case i have to unplug the tv and move the ATV in another room...not really practical
2) tried, but even when ATV says "paired", i can still interact with my macbook and mac mini....annoying
3) that was the small manual that i was talking about nothing more complex or in depth? or whatever i see is what i can get unless i hack it ?
4) i understand the point; i just want to know if to get the full potentials of this product i have to hack it, or if there is a "regular " update that would enable some features (since someone compared the ATV to a stripped down Mac mini with Tiger on it); anyway for now i can live with it as is....the only hassle is to convert from DIVX the movies via QT, and takes about 1 hour for a 2 h movie (and 2 hours to sync down to the ATV lol)
Thanks for your answers!

Quick question from a newbie

I want to set up VOIP trunk between two fixed location. Location A is home while location B is work. There is a VPN between the two, they are on different subnets. I want to access the PSTN line at site B (work) from Site A (home) using VOIP. In other words I want to use the PSTN at work to make voice calls when I work from home.
Can I just install SPA3102 in work and use SPA901 at home. No SIP server just direct trunk between the two. In other wods can I just "dial" the SPA3012 using the SPA901 and get a PSTN dial tone. No other devices will be involve just point to point between these two.
Is this possible, is it easy to set up?
Many thanks
Peter
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I found teh answer in the excellent "SPA3000 bac to back document". It seems this question has been asked many times apologies, for those new to VOIP it as much knowing what question to ask and what to actually search for!

2 mail questions from a new apple person

1. The delightful sound made when i sent mail just up and stopped. How do i get it back?
2. How do i keep a note in the Notes mailbox without it also being in my Inbox, where i don't want it to be, but when i trash it from the Inbox it also disappears from the Notes mailbox. I want it in 1 place only and that place is the Notes mailbox.

Thanks a lot you two makes me feel better, Originally I was going to go for the twin but oddly enough they're all sold out of retailers and newegg has them under Discontinued I find it odd, the older 7870 is plenty around and the 7850's/7950's are everywhere but the middle child was abducted or something. (This intially spurred my paranoia that has bothered you guys)
I think you're spot on about the one extra heat pipe and the metal shroud. That has always been bothering me though why sell two versions at the same time and I thought the difference was something much more critical at first. I can rest easier knowing that its really only a minor difference. The word is that anything below 70's is very good considering the previous generations of cards ran much hotter and produced less but like I said I was just paranoid/ Confused.
One other question actually, how do you check the vbios? What is the difference between one set and other?
Once again, thank you both for your input and reply it makes me feel better and its the time that you take out that make me feel assured I was right to go with MSI.

A quick question from someone new to the forum, PLEASE help.

Hey Guys/Girls I have had my iphone 3g for over 2 years now I am not under any warranty or anything like that and recently my Iphone 3g power/hold button stopped working. I was wondering if there is anyway to fix it that you guys know about and also how much it would cost me to get it fixed?
Thanks alot in advance for you help.

I understand that without the contract that i would of had to pay that much, and yes now this much time later with so many newer versions of the phone released it does sound insane that i would have to pay 200$ to replace this one, seeing as i would have to hand this one in for it and they can turn around and fix it for next to nothing and sell it refurbished.
I dont understand how you think 200$ for a 3 year old phone sounds like a reasonable price, unless your loaded or something. I'm not trying to be rude but in my opinion that is way to much money.
I thought that maybe I could get it fixed from apple for around 25-75$

I made spiral rotating x.y.z in 3D space animation using

You'd have to check with Rogers or Fido and see if they offer this option.

Quick question from a noob

Reading the 2 Day Developer Guide it states that a table is a database object (fine). It also goes on to say that "every object in the database belongs to just one schema and has a unique name within that schema"
Does this mean that if i create a table called; for example 'Staff'; that this cannot be used by any of my colleges in their applications? So we may end up with loads of tables all containing staff info that have to all be maintained separatley??
Please tell me i'm wrong!

Pretend that you create the STAFF table in schema COLLEGE by user COLLEGE. You can grant select, insert, delete, etc. on COLLEGE.STAFF to any user, i.e. you really only need one COLLEGE.STAFF table assuming that you want every college to use the same STAFF table.
If each college needs its own STAFF table then you could create a schema for each college with an individual STAFF table in each schema, e.g. VCU.STAFF, WILLIAMANDMARY.STAFF, UVA.STAFF, etc. Without knowing your specific requirements I don't know which would work best for you.
The bottom line is that you only need 1 STAFF table as long as the application can deal with it.

AVCHD-2 quick questions

I know that AVCHD isn't considered a good format to record in with it's GOP and all, but I have two quick questions about it none the less.
1. Is AVCHD a HDD camera format only, or can it be recorded onto mini DV tapes or P2 cards?
2. I know that FCP 6 got AVCHD support in 6.0.1, but is there a way of using AVCHD files in FCP 5.1, say with MPEG Streamclip, VisualHub, Compressor, or even Quicktime to transcode the files for 5.1?
Thanks for the help,
-Brian

HDV is Long or Short GOP....AVCHD, as far as I know, does something COMPLETELY different. I don't know what that is, but I didn't think it was GOP.
1. Thus far it is HDD cameras only. MiniDV tapes are used for HDV, and P2 is strictly DVCPRO codecs (25, 50, 100). No camera that I have seen employs a tape or P2 mechanism.
2. The only way anyone got those files to work (again, AFAIK) was to use the PC software that came with the cameras and extract the video that way, then export it out as QT files from there.

Quick question re: Media Management

Hey..
quick question from a newbie.
quick timeline.
I just finished producing a 40 minute corporate video, and its done (my first video) everything is still on my 2nd drive (projects, footage, graphics and everything...
I've already made my client 500 DVD's after using compressor.
Now this project is currently still taking up more then half of my hardrive. I want to get rid of everything but still cover my behind in case down the road, they need more. or they want to add to it and such.
so my question is...
in addition to backing up to tape and keeping the compressed files on my computer..
If I export using Quicktime movie at the same settings of my final sequence. can I delete everything else? AS long as I keep the QT movie on my computer, is that just as good as the original project? am I able to edit from that in the future if I need to or if i need to throw it into compressor to make streaming video for the web? Is there any generation loss with that?
I know thats more then 1 question.. any help would be awesome... you guys rock! and thanks in advance

.

If you export a quicktime movie you create a "whole" video. In other words, your transitions, clips and audio will essentiall become one long clip. You will not longer be able to eliminate music from voice for example. It will become one long track. You won't be able to take out transitions such as dissolves or wipes without taking a hunk of video on either side.
Best to delete your media and save your project and tapes. You can re-digitize later. Or buy a cheap hard drive and store it there.

Question from a Newbie wireless user

Please excuse the naivete of this question. I'm completely ignorant on everything pertaining to wireless internet. My old Powerbook 400mHz G4 Titanium has never had wireless of any kind until this week when I bought a PCMCIA wireless adapter. Never used wireless, don't know anything about it.
I started following the instructions on the PCM adapter this morning to get it all set up. I plan to toggle back and forth between wired internet at home and the wireless adapter when I'm out on the road.
I was surprised when I saw the window where I enter my settings that there were no less than ten different internet services flying around the room in my house! I guess I have a lot of wireless neighbors and I could easily access their bandwidth.
I imagine the same would go when I'm in town sitting in the library. They welcome you to use their internet access, but it's in a busy end of town and I'm sure I'll see numerous services available there too.
So I'm clueless on this topic. Again, I've never used wireless internet before - but I've read about these guys who've been arrested in front of coffee houses for stealing bandwidth at WiFi hotspots when they weren't paying customers.
What's the deal with sitting in your living room and using your neighbor's internet access? I know it's not ethical and we should all get our own, but what are legalities? And say I hopped on to someone's internet access +quite accidentally+...how does one get caught if you do it quietly? And have people actually gotten into trouble beyond these two guys that made national news?
I guess my main question is exactly how careful do I need to be to set the correct access service when there are ten immediately available in a public place? Can I just click on whatever signal is strongest and log on without fear of being caught?
I hope somebody knowledgeable can set me straight on this.
Thanks.
-JOHN
ps. Here's the news item on these guys stealing wireless internet access:
http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2007/05/michigan-man-arrested-for-using- cafes-free-wifi-from-his-car.ars

You may find this technical article I've written helps you:
http://homepage.mac.com/rfwilmut/notes/wireless.html
It is fairly long, but it was originally written in response to some questions from a non-technical friend, and so I've tried to keep it as straightforward as possible.
