Recording Fault

Okay, I'm trying to help somebody else with a problem in CS5.5 and it has me puzzled. (And I'm pretty sure it's his hardware, not Audition btw.)
He describes it as the wave form go crazy every few seconds on his speech recording--but the audio keeps playing back though with some level issues sometimes.
I went through the usual litany of reinstall drivers, shut down back ground stuff etc. etc. to no avail and finally had him send me a short sample of the problem. It's very strange.
This first pic is the whole waveform and you can see the "splats" every so often--but it all does indeed playback without the expected noise:
Going a bit tighter, you can see that the glitches are some form of very LF wave:
...and going in very tight, you can see the modulation on the LF waveform--in this case speech--that plays back in Audition:
My next instinct was a problem with his interface (Focusrite Scarlet 2i2) but he says he's tried an old Tascam interface and got the same result, maybe a bit less frequent.
FYI there's an audible noise on the whole file as well.
Any thoughts? Only thing I can come up with is a fault USB port on his laptop letting some voltages creep in. Any other ideas gratefully received!

I'd love to try the Focusrite self powered but, alas, it's ONLY bus powered.
(I have to admit I'm somewhat gratified that it's not something obvious I've missed.)
Er, there is...
Run the Focusrite via a powered hub? That will stop the internal power having anything to do with what happens in it. If it changes anything at all about this, that's at least a clue.

I hear a constant wavering "whine" at quite a low level throughout but the guy with the fault hasn't mentioned that. Just look at the waveform on the "silence" there's certainly something there.
Well that's definitely a case of 'measure amount of weird', because that shouldn't be happening. And what's more, most of these sorts of noises generally do get traced back to power, grounding-type fault conditions. Can't find any other references to this sort of problem with starlets though - and like you mentioned, the tascam does this too. How is it with the internal sound device on the laptop? And what sort of laptop is it?

Are recording faults due to multicast software?

I have BT TV Release 8.4.1E and Middleware 4.86.3 multicast build 354915 blah blah.
I don't see why I would have multicast - I do not have links to other rooms?
Anyway I've cancelled ALL scheduled recordings to rely on GUIDE individual settings for future programs.
I wonder if it will stop the annoying problems I get.
Has anybody else tried this way?
Is it possible to avoid the multicast build middleware?

The multicast software is nothing to do with multiroom.
Multicasting is the method used for delivering the extra live TV channels over the broadband. That's as oppose to broadcasting for channels over the aerial, or unicasting for on-demand content over the broadband.
To receive any of these live channels over the broadband connection on a BT Vision+ box you need the multicast version of the New Look software.
The problems experienced by many customers seem to relate to the New Look software in general and not just the standard (supports viewing card) or multicast (supports bTV channels) version.
Not sure what you mean about cancelling scheduled recordings and using the Guide to set up recordings. That would just create new scheduled recordings unless you chose to not record anything at all in future. Do you mean just avoiding using series links?

MSxpsPCL6 filter failing on Win 8 with Binding and Punching

Hello,
We are currently developing a print driver for Windows 8+ based on v4 model. The development and basic testing process takes place on Win 8.1 Pro machine where everything works just fine. During testing on Windows 8 Enterprise, a serious problem occurred.
We are using JobBindAllDocuments and DocumentHolePunch features which seem not to be compatible with MSxpsPCL6 filter library on Windows 8. When we remove these two options, the job is created and converted correctly. When we remove the filter from our
filter pipeline config file, the XPS jobs are also created correctly.
When the document is printed using our driver and the filter library, the output file has a size of zero bytes and the only log information can be found in Event Log and it is very vague. See Event Log Record below. Our Windows 8 Enterprise virtual machine
is fully updated (we noticed even some update of the MSxpsPCL6 library).
I found the same issue report thread on public MSDN forum and the only solution provided was to contact MS Product Support.
I hope you can provide us with information on the way we can use these features even on Win 8 systems or at least you can inform us about all the known issues in the filter, so we do not have to continue only with guessing what could a could not work there.

Photoshop CS4 Extended crashes in Windows XP whenever I save

I hope someone can help me, a beginning Photoshop user.
It crashes almost always whenever I try to save. I have installed the 11.0.1 patch. GPU is turned off.
Here are the details of my system:
Toshiba Satellite A105 running Windows XP 5.1.2600 Service Pack 3.
1.86 GHz 2.99 GB RAM
C drive (that is used for Photoshop) is 92.92 GB with 53.58 GB free space. I've defraged the drive.
Video display card: Mobile Intel(R) 945 GM Express Chipset Family version 6.14.10.4436
I have other applications off when I am using Photoshop.
I typically am working from NEF files approx. 30 MB
It's really frustrating - and is making it very difficult for me to learn the software.
Thanks.

Encounters a Problem when creating or opening project

I could only get V1 to work with Admin priviliges, otherwise it threw up the message "Adobe Premiere Elements has encountered a problem & needs to close"
So I have upgraded to V10, but now hit the same block even with users having admin priviledges.
Happens when I try to create a new project (when clicking OK after entering new details) or when trying to open an existing project.
When creating a new project the basic folders and files are created before the error message and crash.
I am using Windows XP SP3 with all latest updates.
So I can do nothing at all with PE10.
Error code is 0xc0000005
Flag 0x00000000
Record 0x000000000000000
Address 0x00000000196cd0a3
Any ideas?

Dear A.T., thanks for trying to help. Regarding your questions:
the PC is a single-user machine on a small network. In accordance with Microsofts security recommendations, the working user account does not have administrator priviledges
4Gb RAM of which 2.15Gb unused
683Gb free space on C:
Two internal disks, formatted NTFS
Latest Quicktime installed
Previous version of Premiere Elements was v1
A bit more information on how it fails. Approximately 10 seconds after specifying a new project or giving details for a project to open I see a window informing me that a problem has been encountered and asking if I want to send details to Microsoft. I dont know if this is Adobe or Microsoft generated. If I click on any option then Premiere Elements disappears and a window declares "MS Visual C++, Runtime Error!, Program c:\program files\A...., R6030 - CRT not initialised
The Windows event log records "Faulting Adobe Premiere Elements.exe - faulting module display.dll version 6.0.0.0" I found display.dll in c:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Elements 10 folder. So an Adobe dll is causing the problem?
So as you recommended, I updated the Intel G35 chipset driver, and that then allowed me to open create new projects and open old ones! Progress!
But, after doing some video editing, when trying to close Premiere Elements, it crashes with the same unexpected problem encountered error and the same C++ error. This time the Windows Event Viewer stated that the faulting file was Ig4dev32.dll - the new G35 chipset driver I had just installed.
So I can now create and work on projects but likely to lose my work unexpectedly!

CS4 Save Crashes

Recording Failed Technical Fault 10 (28)

I've read similar posts but there doesnt seem to be a resolution. My 2TB is two months out of warranty, and now all of a sudden 8 out of 10 recordings are failing with Technical Fault 10(28). On demand works fine. I've upgraded the software and done a number of planner rebuilds. No change. I then removed all deleted items, updated software again and planner rebuild. No change. I tried to narrow down behaviour but its strange - i had something preset to record last night and it worked fine. While it was recording I went to a different channel and pressed the record button. Nothing happened (it didnt record). I then went into the the guide and selected the program I was watching and pressed record. The "R" came up against the program but if you went into the planner it was marked as "failed" already. I just called sky and they said a full reset "might" fix it and a few more planner rebuilds "might" also fix it. I'm reluctant to do a full reset given about 55% of my 2TB box is full of recordings - there has to be a better fix than that (and thats not even a guaranteed fix)! anybody any ideas / suggestions??

TF10 is usually fixed with a Planner Rebuild, though clearly not in your case. As you've tried this and a software refresh, and in the absence of a signal issue, the only remaining option is a full system reset I'm afraid.
EDIT: just a further thought. Try restarting your Sky box immediately before carrying out a Planner Rebuild: switch the box off at the plug and wait a full 5 minutes before switching back on and doing the Rebuild.

Fault recording two programmes

Hi, I'm having an issue recording on my Sky+HD 2TB box, when trying too record a programme that's already got something else planned to be recorded at the same time my box previously added it to the planner and if you would try to record a third programme, it would throw up a screen telling you to delete one of the previously planned programmes, this was fine on the count of the box only having two feeds, it would then give the "colour button" option of going to advanced settings where you could see how all three would overlap.now since the very recent minor update which added the kids planner part on the epg, when I go to record a second programme, it pops up with a messege saying that "You already have scheduled recordings at this time, Press BACK UP to return.", the term "recordings" implies there are more than one previously planned programmes but as you can see from image 1, I only have the one, so I currently can't record two simultaneous recording, I have done a sky+ rebuild using the HOUSEKEEPING function and I have double checked my sat feed physically and on screen and both are live and well, the only thing I can think of is that it's something that's occurred at the same time as the the minor update last week that had added the new kids section on my home screen which is when this problem started. I've tried all that I can currently think off, I am a self confessed beta tester geeky sort of guy and have tried everything an advanced end user can do or can currently think to try, so I'm pretty lost with this at the moment

The new Clash screen came in with R011 and isn't much use as it no longer shows you the full clash, nor does it let you change things without going into the Planner.
That notwithstanding, that doesn't explain the issue you're now getting when trying to record two programs.
Presumably, you can watch one program whilst another is recording? Meaning that both feeds are working fine.

Part recorded technical fault-7

hi guys, 1st Time poster although I've been a member for a while... I've recently started getting the above error message, and reading the posts on this topic seems it's a common problem with this model of box, the model in question is the DRX895... I've tried a couple of the solutions offered by the members on these threads, but nothing has worked so far, so I'm of the opinion that I need to complete the reset option... My question is though what about the 287 programs on my box... Is there anyway of retaining the programs? Or is there any way of uploading them back to the box once the problem has been resolved?? ive got a feeling it'll end with the Engineer visit and the box been replaced... any my help would be appreciated... cheers Mike

The only way to save your recordings, I'm afraid, is to copy them to DVD. As that's a real-time process, I'm guessing that wouldn't be practical. There's a long outstanding request to Sky to develop a means of transferring recordings between boxes, but as yet, no solution. As you've identified a full system reset (and a replacement box) will mean your recordings will be lost.

This code i used with Ruby on Rail to connect with MySQL.
When i used with FireFox browse after i create new user
success it refresh the new record in Datagrid. But for the Internet
Explorer Datagrid not refresh it because of it display the old
recode before create.
So i don't know it problem by Internet Explorer or my script.
i hope someone can help me the solve this problem.
thanks

If you restrict the selection, a record value outside of that selection is not acceptable and will give you this error. This is how BPS works.
You need to restrict on some other char so BASIC1 doesn't come in, but this value should be part of any selection on ZSEGMENT field for it to be accepted back.

Here is How to Edit clips of the same loop, which were recorded on seperate tracks, in the same way

Whiteout conditions here in the northeast, it's a Blizzard!
Hopefully this helps someone because I was banging my head against the wall trying to figure this out.
This is for people who want to precisely loop (or edit in other ways) multiple clips in the exact same way, but that are on seperate tracks playing concurrently in Multi-track view, so for instance looping 3 different tracks recorded simultaneously from a drum machine and keeping the same exact placement of each track relative to each other when trying to get the loop right (or any other type of edit)
It's all about how you switch between Edit view and Multi-track view, and you CAN'T group your clips before going to edit view, although this is counter-intuitive.
The basic jist is simple, "Selections" in the timeline, transfer from Multi-Track to Edit View and Back to Multi-Track...but you most follow a certain procedure, here is the procedure:
WARNING: THIS WILL ONLY WORK IF THE SELECTION IS OF ONE CLIP PER TRACK!!! YOU CANNOT MAKE A TIMELINE SELECTION OF MULTIPLE CLIPS ON A TRACK AND HAVE THAT TIMELINE SELECTION TRANSFER TO EDIT VIEW, AS FAR AS I KNOW.
In Multi-Track view:
1) Switch the timeline to "Samples"
2) Make a "Selection" of the part you want to Loop and zoom all the way in to the start and end points to get the loop as precise as possible, if it's not perfect don't worry just get it as good as possible in Multi-track View, then in Edit View you can find the Zero-Crossing points.
3) Make sure the clips you want to edit are NOT GROUPED AT THIS POINT
Here is the part that got me - AFTER making your Selection in Multi-Track view - you have to go to Edit view in a certain way, so that you don't de-select your selection:
WARNING: Do NOT Double-Click the clip/file you want to Edit!!! Do not double left-click anywhere in MultiTrack View or you will de-select your selection.
note: You have to edit the files one at a time in Edit View, but if you go there using the correct procedure, you can transfer your selection you made in Multi-Track view.
4) Decide which clip is the hardest to one to loop (usually it's an instrument sample rather then a drum loop but you never know)
5) Instead of double-clicking a clip to Edit it, HOLD CONTROL AND LEFT CLICK THE CLIP YOU WANT TO EDIT ONE TIME, this will select the clip without de-selecting your TIMELINE SELECTION.
6) Now that the clip you want to edit is selected, You want to go to Edit View USING ONE ROUTE ONLY --> Simply click "Edit View"
^Make sure you Timeline selection is still in place and hasn't moved do to user error (e.g. accidentally clicking the timeline or shift-clicking and moving the selection by accident <--- which I do by accident when attempting to control+click)
7) If you followed the instructions exactly, You are now in Edit View with the selected clip along with the timeline selection you selected in Multi-Track view, showing it's exact timeline location at the bottom which is relative to the Multi-Track view
IMPORTANT: YOU MUST BE CAREFUL NOT TO DE-SELECT THE TIMELINE SELECTION, AS THAT WILL DE-SELECT THE TIMELINE SELECTION IN BOTH VIEWS.
8) If you are having trouble looping without artifacts, To find the zero crossing points either go to edit > zero crossings or use shift+h or j for left edge, shift+K or L for right edge of the loop.
9) if you must adjust it manually to fine tune then make sure you shift click the file as not to de-select the entire timeline selection.
10) Once you have a perfect loop, zoom all the way in to the start and end points, and take note of exactly where the start and end points of the loop are located within the timeline.
11) Go back to Multi-track view
12 To trim the clips to to the exact timeline selection: Hold control+left_click each clip that needs adjusting one-time, then right click > group clips
13) BEING CAREFUL NOT TO DESELECT YOUR TIMELINE SELECTION, select your grouped clips by HOLDING CONTROL and clicking on any of the clips
14) Point to the start or end one of the clips, when you see the icon showing arrows going either way, right click and drag your clips to roughly match up with the timeline selection, then zoom in further and adjust the clip start and end points to match up exactly with the timeline selection start and endpoints.
WARNING: IF YOU ACCIDENTALLY CLICK WHEN THE DOUBLE ARROW ICON IS NOT SHOWING, YOU WILL DE-SELECT YOUR TIMELINE SELECTION AND YOU WILL HAVE TO START THIS ENTIRE PROCESS ALL OVER AGAIN.
15) Verify that your loop is looping correctly, in some tricky instances you may have to find different zero crossing points on the initial file you edited in edit view by repeating the above procedure, but this is unusual, although it just happened to me.
16) If everything went correctly, now all your clips on seperate tracks are looped in the exact same way, if you want to destructively edit each file down to it's loop size, you can keep your timeline selection and control+click a file then click "Edit" (the one in the toolbar of course), one by one destructively editing each file.
17) to extend the loop either set as a loop under "loop properties" and then just drag each file the number of times you want it to loop, or do it my way and right click the clip > duplicate and set the number of times to duplicate and whether to have them back to back or spaced, this is the quickest method for me.
Addendum: IF you have 2 files selected and click "Edit" to go to Edit view, it will give you the file of the clip you selected first, not 2nd. You must then go back to MT view, de-select the clip you selected first, then de-select the clip you want to edit, then RE-select the clip you want to edit.
-Also, you don't HAVE to group the files as I did in step 12, you can drag the edges of the clips to the timeline selection one by one, I just find it easier to group them after you have set the loop on one of the files in Edit View.
-Remember, you can't select the files one by one and have the timeline selection transfer to Edit View IF you group the files prior to going into Edit View.
GOT ALL THAT? I sure as hell don't know if I do ...
All this could be easily avoided if Audition would simply let you edit multiple files simultaneously in Edit View relative to their position on the Multi-Track timeline.
I'd also like to know why when you do a full zoom in, neither the selection or the clips will snap to the ruler points, only to just before and after the ruler points on the timeline.
And also (and this may be my fault) I don't understand why when the tempo of my session is 89.8bpm, the timeline under the tracks says "90bpm" why does it round it off..?
Isn't that inexact and couldn't that present problems with syncing loops? idk I could be wrong I can't get my head around these issues because of lack of knowledge on the subject, if someone could shed some light that would be great.

correction needs to be made to step #14, I typed:
14) Point to the start or end one of the clips, when you see the icon showing arrows going either way, right click and drag your clips to roughly match up with the timeline selection, then zoom in further and adjust the clip start and end points to match up exactly with the timeline selection start and endpoints.
Here is the correction, THE CORRECTED PARTS ARE CAPITALIZED:
14) Point to the start or end OF one of the clips, when you see the icon showing arrows going either way, LEFT-CLICK and drag your clips to roughly match up with the timeline selection, then zoom in further and adjust the clip start and end points to match up exactly with the timeline selection's start and end points.
Another Correction:
Originally read:
Addendum: IF you have 2 files selected and click "Edit" to go to Edit view, it will give you the file of the clip you selected first, not 2nd. You must then go back to MT view, de-select the clip you selected first, then de-select the clip you want to edit, then RE-select the clip you want to edit.

IF YOU WANT TO EDIT THE 2ND FILE YOU SELECTED IN MULTI-TRACK VIEW, You must go back to Multi-track view, de-select the clip you selected first, then de-select the clip you want to edit, then RE-select the clip you want to edit, THEN CLICK "EDIT" TO GO TO EDIT VIEW.

Is my iMac or external audio interface at fault?

My hardware is as follows:
2010 21.5" iMac i3 3.06ghz, all standard.
Yamaha n8 Digital Mixing Studio
800-400 FireWire cable (of which I have tried two, now using a more expensive Belkin cable)
Since new which is nearly a month ago I've noticed stuttering in sound when using the Yamaha digital mixer on whichever program I am using. This would last for a while, perhaps half hour, and then disappear.
I after a while I noticed I could circumvent this problem by changing the Format in the Audio Midi Setup to something other than 44100 Hz, I would usually choose 96000 Hz.
However having an application open such as Garageband would revert this setting back to 44100Hz and I would have all sorts of problems, both terrible recording quality and playback whether from Garageband or any other source. (for instance iTunes)
Then I have installed Cubase and tested the audio quality recording at all the different Format values in Audio Midi Setup, 44100 Hz remains unusable, sounding like a very strong bitcrusher effect has been applied to recordings. And while the other frequencies are better, they still sound quite bad with many digital artifacts, crackles and slight bitcrusher type effect sounds.
I should note that this is a change of Mac's. Before I was using a Mac Pro, late 2006 2x 2.66Ghz model and never experienced any of these problems. The only difference is the cable, being an older Mac it had the older 400 type of FireWire port.
I have spoken to both AppleCare and Yamaha technical support. AppleCare suggested ringing Yamaha and implied that I would want to record at the higher sample rate than 44100Hz anyway, and I'd be better with Logic! Needless to say this isn't a solution that is acceptable, I think the support engineer struggled to understand this problem. However when I spoke to Yamaha the engineer there felt quite strongly the Mac was at fault with a faulty clock and offered to test the Yamaha unit with one of their Mac's. As I said though I have recently changed Mac's and only since doing so has this problem occured.
I'm not exactly sure what the next steps would be. I have tried to find ways that I can test the internal clock on the mac, but am at a loss as to how other than simply troubleshooting with recording experiments, using my ears. And it is worth noting perhaps that recording and playback using the iMac's internal mic and speakers works perfectly! I tried that in Garageband.
Is there any advice anyone could give before I pursue AppleCare for the fix?
Kind Regards
Chris

Hi-
My first thought is that it's possible the way I use my desktop makes it more likely to develop instabilities
Based on your description, I would agree....
I don't do anything as far as 'taking care' of the system
You don't even let the system run automated maintenance scripts? For this to occur, they must be rescheduled, or the system left on overnight.
As you mentioned, the continual creation and deletion of large files creates a good environment for system error creation. I would suggest, in the least, booting to the OS X disc, and running Disk Utility at least once a month. Better yet, would be to buy DiskWarrior, and run it at least once a month, more often might be better. DW finds/repairs more than DU, and keeps your harddrive directory in top shape, helping to keep the system performing as it should.
There are also maintenance scripts that need to be run, either automatically, or manually. It is easy to run these scripts manually, and requires no third party software.
Open Terminal, and type *sudo periodic daily weekly monthly* and press Return. Enter your password, and press Return. When the command line prompt returns, the scripts are finished, and maintenance is done. If this has never been done, or the machine has never been left on overnight, it may take more than a few minutes.
Failure to run maintenance scripts, will result in a backlog of invisible files, and can greatly affect performance. The longer without maintenance, the greater the backlog.
There are other items that one may wish to include in their maintenance program. I find this article to be informative.
So, why does this keep happening? What should I do to make it stop?
Maintain your OS, and be kind to the Tiger! In In turn, it will be kind to you.

New Look Black BT Vision Box - Failure to record a...

I had my original Silver BT Vision box replaced due to catastrophic failure. I was given the new black BT Vision box as a replacement. Not only does it fail to record programmes as outlined in the posting by StuartH, but it has a habit of re-booting itself.
When setting up recordings on my original box; of there was a recording conflict, I was able to immediatly resolve the problems by being able to see immediatly which programmes I could choose to record. This is not the case with the new box. When trying to set up recordings for the following week on the new box and a conflict occurs where there are more than two programmes selected I get a red banner across the bottom of the screen telling me that "you can only record two programmes at the same time (VRC001)", without being able to easily find out via the box search system which programmes are in conflict.
I cannot find any reference to this error code anywhere or fault message anywhere on the internet.
Has anyone else had this problem?

Long running faults that BT refuse to fix - Am at ...

Hi,
I have two faults that I can’t get resolved despite one of them being over 4 months old and I am at my wits end. Nobody seems to want to take ownership of my issues and I am becoming increasingly frustrated with the lack of support.
I have an intermittent fault where I can’t dial out. Sometimes this will last a few minutes, other times it can be half an hour or more. It affects all numbers including 1471 & BT line test numbers and occurs with any handsets including a wired handset in the test socket. I get a dial tone, dial a number, it dials then either goes back to the dial tone or is silent (with background hiss). This can occur at any time of the day and can be either the first time I have dialled or can occur randomly after trying.
I have now had 9 engineers to the property and each one hasn’t been passed any previous notes by the faults team despite me insisting that it would really help if they could see the call history before they waste their journey.
I have had 3 new NTE5 boxes, had every D-side connector checked from here to the exchange, been put on to a different dropwire and even a different pair up to the Exchange. I have had my port swapped but still the problem occurs. Caveat – This is what I have been told, none of this may have actually occurred.
I have had two engineers present in the house while the fault occurred and they both confirmed with their test equipment that I had a fault.
This has been occurring since December the 26th 2011 and it is now April the 27th 2012.
My second fault which has been on-going for around 2 months now is that when I dial either 0800 800 150 or 151 I get an automated message saying that I am not a BT customer and then the line drops.
I have played recordings of this to the faults team but they just don’t understand. In fact there seems to be a total lack of comprehension from them on this issue and therefore any attempt to pass this up the chain for a resolution. In fact it seems that they just want to get rid of me as quickly as possibly after reading from their crib sheet and get on to the next call.
Here is a transcript of the latest recording I have
    Hello, thanks for calling BT. If you’re calling from the number you want to talk about press 1
    * I press 1
    Thanks I can see a fault was recently reported on this number. If you calling about this press 1
    * I press 1
    Please hold, please hold, rings, please hold while we check the details, please hold, please hold, rings, sorry, since you are not a BT customer you will need to discuss your request with your current telephone provider.
To get through I have to repeatedly press the # key until it bypasses the automated system. Upon talking to someone they always confirm that I am actually a customer, which I am quite aware of and so is my Bank.
Before these issues were reported I did have another problem whereby the line would not allow any incoming or outgoing calls. This was resolved fairly quickly at the Exchange by swapping my port and I was advised that my line was being interrupted every time the adjacent line was in use.
I do have ADSL form another provider and am running VOIP phones from this and one engineer even suggested this could be the cause of the fault but I and they have reproduced both these issues from the test socket on their test equipment which obviously removes any ancillary wiring or equipment from the equation.
As you can see I have been given a right run-around by BT and am now looking to escalate this and would appreciate it if anyone could offer any suggestions. It would really help if I could speak to a UK based team so we can remove the language barrier issues that seem to be causing a lot of my grief.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Sorry to drag this up but just had a similar problem that no-one at BT is interested in and spotted this thread.
I can dial a number, then it goes back to the dial tone, sometimes i get an hour of this, sometimes a minute, its intermittent, but it's very annoying but it's every day. After 3 engineers visits and many chats with the call centre's [located god knows where] after the last call they have given up, and i'm passed the point of wanting to go through it step by step yet again. I even used my old phone, [BT issue] even bought new ones, disconnected my extension, etc etc it made no difference, incoming calls on my answerphone often state "interupted" when there's been no one in.
I have asked Virgimedia to take over the BT number [i have had an unused but working line for about 10 years with them] as i said after Bulldog fiasco i had, that i would never leave BT ever again, well guess what.
On ringing them to inform BT, the guy said "unbelievable" "3 engineers ??? " "the call centre cancelled your 4th visit ??" etc etc.
Well i have had enough, they even asked how my Broadband was [which i dont have with BT], i was going to say better than my **bleep** phone line thanks.

Unable to create records in database using PHP Data Service

Hello, I've been stuck on this for a few days and search up and down for this on the net, no response I've found has worked, so I come to you...
Here are the steps I've taken, I think it's pretty standard
1. I have a macbook pro running osx 10.7.3
2. I installed MAMP all default (I've acually reinstalled this because someone suggested this might fix it)
3. Thru phpMyAdmin I created a database called my_test
4. In that database I created a table, this is the export of that table: (I've also tried this with InnoDB which is the default)
CREATE TABLE `customer` (
`id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`name` varchar(50) NOT NULL,
`email` varchar(150) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
UNIQUE KEY `id` (`id`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=1 ;
5. I created a new Flx Project (Running Flash Builder 4.5.1 Premium)
     Project Name: PHPTest
     Application Type: Desktop (Although I've done the same thing with Web and got the same results)
     >> Next
     Application Server Type: PHP
     Web Root: /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/
     URL Root: http://localhost:8888/
     Clicked 'Validate Configuration' and that worked
     Output Folder: /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/PHPService (default by Flash Builder)
     >> Finished
6. On the Data/Services tab on the bottom I click 'Connect to Data/Service...'
     Select 'PHP'
     >> Next
     Select 'Click here to generate a sample'
     Select 'Generate from database' radio button
     Username: root
     Password: root (default for MAMP)
     Host name: localhost
     Server port: 8889 (default for MAMP MySQL port, the HTTP port default is 8888 which in both cases seem to work but every video I've seen that uses MAMP on youtube uses 8889)
     Database: my_test
     Click 'Test Connection' (works)
     Table: customer
     Primary Key: id (this field is greyed out and Flash Builder selects 'id' which it figures out from the SQL table)
     >> Click OK
7. Then if I don't have the Zend Framework folder in my /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/ folder it tells me its going to create that and I say alright. Then Flash Builder says stuff about how this is really only for testing and not production server ready and I say alright.
8. Then it takes me back to the Form from Step 6 when I get the chance to select 'Click here to generate a sample'
     These fields are now filled with this data automaticly:
     PHP Class: /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/PHPTest/services/CustomerService.php
     Service name: CustomerService
     Service package: services.customerservice
     Data type package: valueObjects
     >> Click Next (shows all the functions that will be now availible)
     >> Click Finished (End of the forms and it opens Dreamweaver to the php file it created CustomerService.php which I have no need to edit so I close that down)
9. Back in Flash Builder I switch to design view and drag a datagrid onto the big white area in the middle, whatever that is called.
10. Then below in Data/Services tab on the bottom I click drag the function 'GetAllCustomer' on top of the datagrid.
     I say yes to rebound and click ok and the view of the datagrid is updated with the colums from the 'customer' table in mySQL.
(Now let me say that when I hit save and compile this, if I actually had records in this table that I insert thru phpMyAdmin, this does show in the datagrid. So for the whole CRUD thing I am able to get the R which is Read)
11. Now going back to the design view in Flash Builder I will create a form to create records in the table... (I guess this isn't really a step)
12. In the Data/Service tab on the bottom I select 'createCustomer' function and then there is an icon called 'Generate Form' that looks like a white piece of paper with a gear on the bottom of it.
13. This opens up a new form and since I don't have a crazy bunch of fields in my table I just click Finished (If you click next you can specify which fields you want to exclude from the form but this time I don't need to)
14. This actually creates 2 forms if you look at the code, the second just shows the return type from when you click 'CreateCustomer' button on the first form. Because they overlap in design view I drag the form out of the way so you can see the input form, the return form, and the datagrid
15. Then I save and compile...
(Also if your actually reading this I didn't remove the id form field, I get the same result either way, but if you do remove the form field in the code/design you also have to update the button function to not deal with the id before it gets sent off to the php page since in this case the MySQL table is set to auto_increment the id, sorry this doesn't make much sence but this little area doesn't matter much either way)
16. Now fill in whatever data you want for name and email, try differnt numbers in the id field like 0, nothing, 1, 1000 and click 'CreateCustomer'
(For me nothing happens, no return is put in the return field, no error pops up and the datagrid is not updated with the new record, also going over to phpMyAdmin and checking out the table browse doesn't show any changes either, I know the button is calling the function because if I add a state change in that function it changes, it would seem that the line:
createCustomerResult.token = customerService.createCustomer(customer2); doesn't do anything)
So any idea what is wrong here, I'm convenced it's something stupid easy simple I just can't see it.
