Radeon X1900 Users, Anyone ever used this?

After problems with the X1900, HD 3870 and the 8800GT I am finally back to the x1900 and was looking around online for some way to cool it down. I am currently using a program called Smcfancontrol 2 to cool down my box which seems like its doing a great job.
I bumped into this item:
http://www.thermaltake.com/product/Cooler/TMG/CL-G0076/cl-g0076.asp
Anyone have any experience with this? Anyone know anything about it? Would I be wasting my money? Thanks a lot in advance for your replies.

You have an ATI Radeon X1900 XT graphics card on board ?
If so it needs a deep cleaning routine !
Open case and look to the back of the card , you will see a recess about 10mm deep below the plastic top cover and the printed circuit board. At the back of this recess are a row of copper coloured fins/heat sinks.
If what you actually see is something resembling a grey fur blanket thats a build up of dust !
Temporarily remove the graphics card and carefully remove this clogging matter regularly !
THIS CARDS WORKS WELL Provided its clean (Frequency may very depending where you keep your tower !
I have 1 MacPro in TV Room and has to remain on the carpet -This needs cleaning every month, while another machine (Server) is in home office off floor and NO carpet yet is ON ALL the time and needed cleaning just once in six months!)
It is my experience putting a bigger fan on these cards just exasperates the problem> ***** MORE DUST INTO THIS RECESS MORE QUICKLY !
Its this recess thats the cards design weakness AND its ATIs fault!

Has anyone ever used this CF8 host?

Hi,
I'm currently using HostMySite - but it's just for my
personal site and it seems like I'm paying just too much for what I
use it for $23.95 USD (about £12 GBP) per month.
This company (
http://www.hostingfuse.com/index.php/fuseaction/hosting.webhosting
) seem to be Australian, offering reasonable CF8 hosting for $10
AUD (about £4.5 GBP).
Just wanted to know if anyone has used them and what they're
like? Or if someone has alternative solutions?
Thanks,
Mikey.

You may only want an Australia Host but I like
http://www.gearhost.com They are
located in CO
and have very reasonable prices. The nice thing is
that you can use CF, ASP or PHP with any account.

Anyone ever used this host?

I know hosting questions are a pain and have mostly been said before; but my question is specific to these guys:
http://jassoft.co.uk/index.cfm/Page/unlimited-hosting
It looks like a great CF package. I would just like to know if anyone has used them and if so, what they are like?
The site doesn't give too much useful information but the cost is brilliant.
Thanks,
Mikey.

Hi,
Thanks for the replies.
It does all seem a bit shady, but what the hell, it's only £2.50 a month! What can I lose?
I'm gonna try it and then report back. Payment is via PayPal anyway, so even if they are dodgy it's okay and secure.
The only reason I was worrying was because they offer SO much just for £2.50 a month. Seems to good to be true...but if it is true, then that's great!!
Thanks for the comments.
Mikey.

Double-tap the screen with three fingers, then go to Settings and disable the Zoom function so you don't accidentally trigger it again.

Has anyone ever seen this error

We just launched a vaccation tracking app with a coldfusion
front end and an access 97 backend (dont ask). The app was tested
for over a month and passed all tests. However we never tested for
volume, or amount of users hitting the app. On the backend, we have
an access table linked to a text file. Again, this tested out
perfectly over the past month. This morning after release to the
entire company of about 2,000 people, users began reporting this
error:
The text file specification 'EmployeeList Link
Specification6' does not exist. You cannot import, export, or link
using the specification.
Some users logged in to the app successfully and some
recieved this error. For those that recieved the error, we had them
back out and re-login and then the app worked just fine.
Has anyone ever seen this or have a guess as to what is going
on?

Hi,
The right way would be to use a "real" database server.
But you can test if db-caching can improve the issue.
With each <cfquery> you can set a cachedwithin
parameter. Using that should allow you to query the Access db once,
and then have CF keep the query results in memory (for the DB as
well as the text-file).
You could query the complete database with no filtering this
way, and then filter the data using QueryofQuery to output only
records for specific users/groups/regions.
You also need to make sure the settings in CF admin are
configured right for this.
The more often the database content is updated, the slower
this solution will get though.
cheers,
fober
ps. for the cachedwithin parameter in the query set a
timeframe of forever, so the recordset never gets updated, and then
actually execute a new query to update the recordset at the end of
your "save a vacation" or "updated a vacation" functions. This way
the app would only read the db when a real change to the records
occurred.
But like I said with 2000 users, even that may not be enough
to get the app performing.

Hi pholewinski!
I have a couple of articles for you here that I believe will help you with this issue. The first is an article on advanced troubleshooting, and it can be found here:
iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3297
If following that article's steps doesn't take care of the issue, you can try the things listed in this article, which is about permissions issues in iTunes:
iTunes: Missing folder or incorrect permissions may prevent authorization

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

Anyone Ever Seen This Before?

Hello,
Has anyone ever seen this before: http://digitalmarketing1.com/MacErrorPicture.jpg
Running an IMac Intel Core 2 Duo 2.33 GHz, Microsoft Entourage 2004 for Mac v 11.3.6.
Opened Entourage and selected some of the tons of spam > hit Delete and there you have it! Wasn't really sure how to answer this one! It was like a Bill Gates trick question for Mac users. I had to have someone else come in the office to make sure I wasn't having a stroke or something.
I did eventually select the highlighted button after a coin flip, but to no avail. Nothing happened. Selected the other button then thinking that MUST be the right answer! Nothing...
Finally, an end task was the right answer. Seems to have gone away for now, but Entourage still crashes quite often. Rebuilt email, repaired permissions, etc. Nothing appears to be wrong, but clearly something was amiss.
Any ideas?

An unexpected exception has been detected in native
code outside the VM.
Unexpected Signal : EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION
occurred at PC=0x92150b9
Function name=(N/A)
I get this error when I call the same native function
twice.Yes, many people have seen it many times when doing JNI.
The usual reasons;
-In the vast majority of cases (think 99.9%) there is a bug in the C/C++ code that does JNI. As usual a pointer is the problem.
-Very, very rarely there might be a problem with something else. Like the jvm or a third party library.

Mac users DO NOT use this Desktop software! it will cause hours of heartache

I have exactly the same issue with a Bold and have still to find any option to resolve the issue other than to entirely wipe the device and go through the tiresome process of reinstalling and updating everything to the way i had it.
I am utterly furious with myself for trusting RIM to release a desktop option for Mac users. I choose a Blackberry for its push email and i love the device very much, even despite Initially going through 6 Bolds until i received a new one from Vodafone UK that was not reconditioned and finally worked properly. Since then everything has been fine until this amateur attempt at writing software for Mac users.
I don't have a lot of time to myself and i can think of nothing worse than spending the little time i have searching through endless ill concieved solutions that simply do not work. Just by plugging in my Bold and hitting sync has destroyed my contacts, ringtones and other settings. Why bother to release software until it is entirely tested? Why would you want to put your customers through this demorolising procedure which does nothing more than further emphasise your true lack of interest in supporting anything Mac. I dont want an iphone, i believe that your phones aresuperior for business users like myself.
Please, please, if you are a Mac user DO NOT use this software unless you really want to go through hell just trying to get it back to the customised form you spent loving hours to get right. It destroys your address book and other elements and not one solution posted anywhere on the Blackberry web site works. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
The reason i am a Mac users is because i need a reliable hardware/software solution that works out of the box. It is entirely obvious that RIM havent quite realised the long term benefits of this really very simple idea!

thecount wrote:
well, I attempted to use it, but I initially just tried syncing just the tasks and it would not do that! so I gave up and uninstalled.
I now have been trying to sync with pockmac but that also has issues.
Only reason I am not going to get an iphone, is that I really need to sync with entourage and I use notes on it extensively. and I don't think you can sync an iphone with entourage notes?
can't win can we?
this was one reason i've been sticking with the blackberry as well. it appears though that now you can... http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1670
i really have liked my blackberry, and have been waiting for this software for some time now, but if this is rims idea of a client i have no choice but to go to the iphone...

sorry if this is the wrong forum

Well Tyler....I've seen something like your problem before, but i'm afraid i can't be of much help. I saw the problem because it happened to me before, and my iPod needed to be sent into Apple for repair, i believe they need to reconnect the hard drive on it....well hopefully someone here can help you out, because mine was a matter of being sent in.

Sony DCR-TRV350 - Anyone EVER get this camera to be recognized in FCP?

Theere is the question - has anyone EVER gotten this camera to be recognized by any FCP product.
I have a ton of old HI8 tapes and I really want to import them directly.

FIRST PART - written before FCP worked with camera on
Okay Captain. If you're still awake (probably are as you are on the west coast I think) here is where I am...
Your step-by-step said to turn on camera first, which I did.
FCP will not start with the camera on - in fact, the rainbow circle was spinning and I was even interupted while typing this post - the computer stopped responding to my typing and all I had was a moveable spinning rainbow.
Get this... I turn off the camera and Whalla!
FCP loads up and I have access to my system again.
NOTE: FCP went through all the "loading" and...
SECOND PART -
okay that was weird - I closed FCP, turned on camera and tried again... this time FCP loaded right up.
I followed your steps...
Closed the canvas, timeline, and preview
APPLE-8
set to "non-controlable device"
pressed play - no video in window
bottom of window reads "no communication"
NOTE: I have confirmed that the link between camera and computer is good
I must admit, I am skeptical that we can get this to work, but I am also allowing myself to get a little excited that you may be able to help?
fingers crossed...

Has anyone even used this kind of dust cover for there mac?

Hello,
I wanted to ask if anyone had used this here http://www.computerdust.com/ ? Is it any good if you have or would you recommend something else? I'm looking at it to protect my mac pro. Thanks for the help

I use a few of these from a different company
http://www.dirtbag.biz/computerdustfilter.html
They cost like $15-$22 depending on size (MacPro would need a large one!;>) and quantity purchased
We use them on some old windoze pcs out on the production floor of our sheetmetal shop. The one near the deburr room gets filthy with metal dust and it seems to stop most of those particles.
It is definately not very convenient if you need access to the ports and the flap for the CD drive doesn't seal up very well. Don't make a flap if you can get by without access to the CD drive.
It probably depends on your enviroment more than anything, but for filtering out particles of a certain size or larger they do a good job...
I will definately be buying more...
