They are showing up now but when i posted all i could see was a blank triangle(which means the admin/mods hadn't approved them).
Is your line dropping the connection (lights on the router changing colour)or is it stalling (lights staying the same colour)?
Regarding a 5ghz router there are many dual band routers out there that will do the job your after just fine just make sure they support PPPoA.
And for future reference i will post the details below you can use to connect a new router to the Sky network(ignore that is says o2 as these were release by Sky when they bought o2/BE broadband so those customers could use their own routers on Sky).
1. Enter the following details within the routers Graphical User Interface (GUI):
Encapsulation: PPPoA (PPP over ATM)
login/username: [email protected]
Idle Timeout: 0
Internet IP Address: Get Dynamically from ISP
Domain Name Server (DNS) Address: Get Automatically From ISP
NAT: Enable
Multiplexing Method: VC-BASED
VPI: 0
VCI: 38
2. Save settings

BlackBerry Desktop software recommendations for improvement

BlackBerry Desktop software recommendations for improvement
Recommendation:
1, increase SMS and MMS module
2, the SMS and MMS module to connect to the BlackBerry via Bluetooth

While I love my BlackBerry Curve phone (and will most likely never go back to a phone running Windows Mobile OS), something that drives me absolutely crazy is the inability of the Desktop Manager software to monitor my activity in the Outlook client and autosync changes while my phone is connected via USB.

Is there a registry booster and PC tuneup product like AVG or Uniblue that Firefox recommends for improved perfromance?

I am having performance related issues with my PC, including issues with Firefox locking up or freezing, and was wondering if there is a product you recommend for registry cleaning and other PC performance improvements. I am looking at Uniblue and AVG as well as some others.

Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
* [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx Microsoft Safety Scanner]
* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]

* [http://www.surfright.nl/en/hitmanpro/ Hitman Pro]
* [http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner/ ESET Online Scanner]
[http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.

Recommendations for Installing a new system on new drives.

I'm replace the hard drive that the g5 came with, with 2 wd raptors. I plan to keep the existing drives short term, as a back up.
The system is less than a week old, so there is very little to back up, but if there 'back up settings to disk button', that anyone knows about, that would be very useful.
I'm assuming, and from reading the manual (yes I did) installing tiger on the new top slot drive will be easy. Correct me if I'm wrong.
The real question is, what the best configuration for partitions on the new drives? In windows, I liked to keep my system partition fairly small (5 gig) to speed defragmention, I'd put my programs on the same psysical drive but a different logical partition, and files in 2 or 3 partitions on the 2nd drive.
How does all this sound to you mac hands, and is there anything I ought to know or do before I take the plunge? §: )

Hi Maxis;
With OS X, defragmentation is done by the operating system so that is not a valid reason to partition.
Generally, I recommend that a system disk not be partitioned into parts that will be used productively. It tends to impact performance negatively because of the increased head movement between partitions. I currently have my system disk partitioned but the second partition is being used for long term storage of archived data. The data is always moved to that partition during off hours.

Is pk recommended for update speed and update/insert v merge performance

Hi there,
We are looking to merge 50,000 rows or so into a table each day.
What is generally faster merge or 2 separate sqls (1 to insetrt and 1 to update). Like the merge command but wonder about performance vs the 2 sqls.
Also with both merge and update is it quicker to try match on a pk or would matching on other unique indexes be just as quick.
Many Thanks

Hi,
What is generally faster merge or 2 separate sqls (1 to insetrt and 1 to update)I would say, if you can do it on one operation, do it. But it should be easy for you to try it out.
Also with both merge and update is it quicker to try match on a pk or would matching on other unique indexes be just as quickYou aren't really matching on pk, since this is just a constraint. However, all PK constrains are backed by a unique index, so it should be the same.
But again, try it out

Printer no longer detected after new router installed. Tried everything. Please help!!

I have a Photosmart 2575 printer which has worked well for a number of years. It has a wired connection to my router.
Recently I installed a new router (Sky fibre hub) and now the HP software (and any other printer/scanning software) is unable to detect the printer on my network. This is odd, because both my desktop (wired network connection) and my laptop (wireless network connection) can see the printer and I can install it using the standard windows 7 functionality. I can also browse the embedded web server, so I know for sure that my printer is on my network and accessible.
But despite numerous attempts to make the HP Solution Center software to work I am unable to print/scan etc from that software. I have tried many different "fixes" including full Level 4 uninstalls before reinstalling the software, resetting the netowrk settings on the printer, deleting the printer from everything on the network etc etc but nothing has worked.
I have tried using the HP Print and Scan Doctor software but that doesn't help.
I am totally mystified by this apparent lack of connectivity.
Can anybody help, PLEASE PLEASE!!
Alan Phillips
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Success at last, but only after many hours of trawling through HP and Microsoft forums, and numerous attempts to make the connection!
But here's a summary of what I did for anybody else with this issue:-
1. I meticulously removed every trace of anything to do with HP from my PC and disconnected the printer from the network router.
This requires numerous "level 4" uninstalls to clear any previous falied installs and deleting everything in the temp file afterwards:-
1. Press the Windows key, and the letter R
2. Type %temp%
3. Press Enter, or click OK
4. Open the 7z folder
5. Open the util folder
6. Open the ccc folder
7. Double click the Uninstall_L4
2. Using Control Panel_Programs and Features, uninstalling anything left that might be HP related
3. Carrying out a disk clean up using Start_Accessories_System Tools_Disk Cleanup and repeating this for system files
4. Follwing the procedure found from the following link to check that the print spooling is working, and that any dependencies are "started":-
Link to post
In that thread there is a further procedure to follow which requires opening a command prompt in administrator mode and carefully inputting the command line
sc config spooler depend= RPCSS
(note the space after the = but not before)
5. Running msconfig.exe and on the general tab, clicking "selective startup", unchecking "load startup items", then on the services tab, hiding all microsoft services, and deselecting all items [remember afterwards to re-run and go back to a normal startup!]
6. Restart PC
7. Disable Firewall [remember to enable afterwards]
8. Launch Internet Explorer (I had previously been using Chrome)
9. Download AIO software from HP website
10. Run and connect printer when prompted (making a note of the printer's IP address)
11. The networked printer wasn't found immediately, so click on advanced and then input the printer's IP address
12. Success - the printer was finally detected and installed correctly.

I have a MAC Pro from 2011 currently running MAC OS 10.9.5. This weekend I cloned the MAC HD drive to a new SSD drive for improved performance. The clone was completed successfully with no errors. After the clone completed I successfully restarted my system using the SSD as the boot device. I then successfully tested all of my products, including Photoshop CS6 and all of its plug-ins. I successfully tested the key features that I frequently use. Today while attempting to launch Photoshop CS6 a message is being displayed indicating that a scratch disk cannot be found. All drives are available on the system via the Finder and Disk Utility. I can access all drives including the old MAC HD which is no longer the boot device. I've even attempted to launch Photoshop from the old device yet the same error persist. Is there a way to review/edit/change Photoshop preferences if Photoshop doesn't launch? I've even restarted my system several times to see if that would resolve the issues. Does anyone have any recommendations for this issue? Have you previously address this issue?
Thank you Gregg Williams

When trying to Airplay from my Macbook Pro Retina, to AppleTv3 it plays for only a few minutes, and then jumps back to the Mac. It seems to do this no matter what I play, music, movies or pictures. I just bought a new router. This could affect it.
I have been playing whole movies before from VLC without problems.
Any Ideas?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Yes it's network issues or settings that cause these types of problems most of the time.

Will a new router increase my broadband speed in this configuration

How much (if at all) can I increase my broadband speed by getting a faster router. Here's my config:
DSL line --> DSL modem --> Lynksys BEFSR41 Router --> Ethernet cat-5 wiring in house --> TimeCapsule WiFi
The computers using this network are an Intel iMac (10.6), a PowerPC iMac (10.4), and two Intel MacBooks (10.6).
The modem/router are located in an in-wall distribution box in a utility room. I want to keep the hardwired ethernet available in case the WiFi quits temporarily. The TimeCapsule is in a good location (top shelf bookcase on first floor) for coverage of my 2-story house. In principle could eliminate the Lynksys modem, and use the TC as the primary router, but it would be difficult to physical locate the TC where it could both distribute to the house ethernet and have good radio reception.
Testing via the hardwire ethernet (using Speakeasy and speedtest.net) shows download and upload speed 1.27Mbps and 0.32Mb/s. My ISP is pacbell.net. I get the same result via my W-Fi. Speedtest.net tells me my result is about 40% of the average for pacbell.net to my zip code 94301.
I've heard there are much faster routers than the BEFSR41, but I don't know if my internet speed is limited by my current router or by pacbell's DSL service.
Any insights would be appreciated.

Will a new router increase my broadband speed
No...your speed is only going to be as fast as your weekest link, which in your case is the DSL modem and the connection speed package you subsribe to.

Need suggestions for new router running mac with eyeconnect,and ps3

We have the latest version of leopard on our 24" imac and we have eyeconnect ver. 1.6 we need to buy a new router and i want one that is very easy(like plug it in and walk away)to use. The main priority for this is not having problems streaming media to our ps3 via eyeconnect or medialink. Wireless or wired whatever would be the best i have never actually had an airport only linksys and have been unhappy with most of them any advice welcome about the router or getting eyeconnect to be recognized by the ps3 once its hooked up. Thank you

What I have in my house is an Airport Extreme with it's two (n,b or g) wireless connections for older non-N wireless connections. I then got a D-Link DGS-2208 10/100/1000Mbps 8-Port Desktop Green Ethernet Switch 8 for fast subnet sharing in the house. This speed is important for HD video sharing for from the external I have connected to the USB2 port on My Extreme.
Note: My Extreme is in "Bridged mode" because it sits behind a wired router that acts as the DHCP server.
Getting a router with Gig Ports and and USB2 port for an external to store/share files (videos mainly) to all my networked devices. The USB2 port on the Extreme was the deciding factor for the extra cost and this handy port making any USB2 external into a networked drive. Plus my older iPhone 3GS only does G it was a no-brainier because of the dual wireless.
The GIG switch is future proofing yourself for the years to come.
Plus I called the extreme but it is a Time Capsule that is just and extreme with a built-in disk.
One more thing: Use CAT6 cables in your network.

I need a new router for my MacBook Pro, OS 10.9.3

Need a new router for OS 10.9.3 and found that Linksys E2500 is not compatible. Any suggestions for a moderately priced router that will work for a 2300 square foot home and patio? Thanks!

It depends on what your idea of moderately priced is... however, I would go with the 6th generation Apple AirPort Extreme -> http://store.apple.com/us/product/ME918LL/A/airport-extreme?fnode=4d.
It's a joy of a router and so simple to configure with the AirPort Utility. Unlike some routers, where the setup takes a network genius to configure and maintain, you can access all the settings you need through the utility. I've had dozens of routers in my lifetime but the 6th generation AirPort Extreme beats them all, hands down, and is well worth the extra money that it may cost. It's also 'future-proof,' so if you buy a machine that utilizes 802.11ac Wi-Fi technology, you'll be set.
I can't recommend it highly enough.

Needed: Book(s) recommendations for beginner, needing to come up to speed for complexity quickly

Hello all,
I've been kind of thrown into the need to learn LV quickly. I've gone through the LV 101 videos, and got a decent start....but need to learn more in-depth quickly. I'm looking maybe for a book on amazon, that will get me as a noob started quickly...but also, something needed beyond just the basics of trying to explain the concept of the front panel and block diagram screens....
I'm needing to get into learning how to wire up things like even structures...being able to allow the user to right click an object on the screen, present a drop down menu, and change the object based on their selection. I've posted here before looking how to do multi-colored indicators..and starting to get a grip on some of that, but still not yet...
I'm looking at an example of an older version of the app I'm trying to create and improve on...and see how they were changing a boolean indicator (they used a round one, but was flat unlike the LED shaped ones)..but they were able to change the colors of the text and control with three different background and text combinations both when it was clicked, and programatically when a trigger was pressed...etc.
I'm seeing a structure they used called a "property node" and using colors under that to change it, it appears....I need to learn to understand that....but the application I have is a bit complex for me to track and figure out everything as it flows....
I thought I'd seen a recommendation for a book on this forum called: Labview for Everyone...but that is dated 2006...would this be too old since I'm working with LabView 2011?
Anyway, I'm looking through all the stuff in the NI site's Knowledgebase....but think getting a quality book that is a bit structured taking me from basics to more complex things would be the best way for me to learn and organize my thoughts.
I've programmed (awhile back) with Delphi for Object Pascal...and some java with Eclipse. But with Delphi, I have worked with an IDE...putting object on a screen, and then setting and programming properties...but LV is a bit different, and I'm just not familiar with all the objects available to me..and the graphical programming rather than writing code in there to handle things..is a bit new to me.
Anyway, hoping ya'll can give me some good book recommendations...and any links to web info greatly appreciated too.
Thank you in advance!!

cayenne,
without giving any special suggestion, i want to point out:
Even "out dated" books can give you valuable information since the programming paradigm of LabVIEW (dataflow) is still valid.
Ok, we have to admit that information on certain elements as well as esp. performance might not be true because of the changes LV had undergone over the years (e.g. compiler changes in LV 2009/2010).
Adding to this, i urge you not only to look for technical expertise but also on "how do i approach a development task". I find this link a helpful source for this.
hope this helps,
Norbert
Thank you for the reply. I'm looking at the link and it looks informative.
I went ahead and bought the book LabView for everyone. One thing however, I read in one review, that the book is light on the topic of event driven vi''s......which is something I'm definitiely needing information on....simple examples would be even better.
Any links or book recommendations on this particular topic?
Thank you,

Reset HP Officejet Pro for wireless after purchase of new router

I'm working with a Win 7 Pro pc a couple days a week in a small office. A couple days ago they installed a new Linksys router. The PC is set up to wirelessly print on the HP 7520 that I reconfigured, and mobile devices are ok with the new router. HOWEVER, I have tried and tried to reconfigure the older HP Officejet Pro 8000 series for wireless and no dice! I even brought it into the same room and plugged in via USB and still it won't work. The wireless "trouble" report that prints doesn't even show an IP address (which was one of the tips that was suggested by the Linksys site). I have tried removing the device (three times) so I could reinstall but that didn't even work. (This printer doesn't have a touch screen to set up, like the 7520.)
What can I do? We really need this printer for occasional "high end" printing.
Thank you,

Hi there,
I would recommend plugging in the usb cable again, and running the print and scan doctor.
Please let me know if after running through "fix printing" it gives any errors?
