Second iMac (G4) interrupts Airtunes from iMac G5

I recently added an iMac G4 (800MHz/256Mb/Airport Card/10.4.6) to my existing Airport network (AEBS and iMacG5 1.8MHz/2GB Ram w/Airport Extreme Card/10.4.6) and now my Airtunes streams from the G5 to my stereo (Airport Express) frequently drop out. I'm using WEP. At this point the only way I can stop the dropping is to turn off all the programs on the G4 and in some cases the airport too. Not good. I've not yet tried changing to WPA. Anyway, all worked perfectly before I added the second iMac computer. Periodically I use an iBook G4 1.2GHz/Airpoort Extreme on the network with the G5 and never have had these problems. Why is the iMac G4 messing with my mojo?

I changed my AEBS channel to "Automatic" from channel 3 and it has helped with airtunes streams of iTunes music on the hard drive, although I did have issues withdrop outs while streaming iTunes Radio.
Could it have been as simple as that?
I shall advise.

I just got InDesign CS6 and am running it on an iMac and I know the license is good for two computers which will come in very handy for me. How do I set it up to access it from my second iMac?

I just got InDesign CS6 and am running it on an iMac and I know the license is good for two computers which will come in very handy for me. How do I set it up to access it from my second iMac?

I just had an afterthought, Peter, if I could bother you further; if the downstairs iMac that I want to access it from is in my wife's name and not mine (even though I'll be the one using it on her computer) does that affect anything or can I simply load the software straight into her computer without any complications?

Second iMac as external monitor; Connection via firewire without a deck/cam

Second iMac as an external monitor; Connection by firewire without a deck/camera possible?
I spend a lot of hours to find an answer to the following question, unfortunately without any success:
I’m working with a new iMac (Intel, OS 10.4.11) and Final Cut. Additionally I have an old iMac (G3, OS 10.3.9).
I would like to use the FireWire port to transport a dv video stream from the new iMac/Final Cut to the old one so that the old one can be used as a monitor. So all I want is a software for the old iMac that shows an incoming FireWire dv-stream as a live picture.
I tried vlc, videoviewer, iMovie, Vidi and btv. The problem is always the same: Final Cut (on the new iMac) does not find any FireWire/dv-device nor do all these software on the old iMac find a connection to Final Cut. I think the problem is that both sides are seeking for a device-setup at the FireWire-port on the other side. And none of them sends a signal like „yes I’m here and waiting for a dv-stream“.
Another attempt was ScreenRecycler with VNC-client on the old iMac. Unfortunately on my old iMac Os 10.3.9 is the last possible OS and no vnc client on that system is fast enough to show a video in real time.
I also tried virtualDV from Apples FireWire SDK 20. It works so far, that it claims to be a dv-device (on the old iMac) and so Final Cut at the new iMac says: „okay I’ll deliver you that stream“. The problem now is that virtualDV only can record that stream, not show it in real time.
Is there any solution like virtualDV that shows a live preview and turns the iMac in a FireWire dv-device?
Is there any solution that Final Cut simulates to be a FireWire dv-device itself and that another computer finds that device and understand the dv-stream?
Thank you very much for your help.

Don't think this is possible.
You're better off using a DAC (for example the one made by Canopus) and put your DV in and get a compatible signal out the other end for connection to your monitor.
I don't understand why you would want to go through a computer first, it would be a waste of time and add a huge delay to the signal.
Finally, I wouldn't use a computer monitor as an external display, it would be useless in my experience. Why not just preview on the one you've got by going full screen in FCP? Also using a computer monitor as a preview/output monitor is not a good idea since it's so different from a normal TV and won't show the correct colour space or issues such as flickering and interlace problems, underscan etc etc.
Seems like you're using a sledgehammer to crack a very small nut and that would be to use a DV camera via firewire and then connect up a monitor from that. (again using a convertor box if you have a connection problem.)

Can I upload Final Cut Express on a second iMac?

Hi,
Just curious - I am going to purchase a second iMac & would like to put Final Cut Express/Microsoft 2004, etc. on it. Are there any restrictions in doing so?
Thanks,

I have at present MS Office X on two internal HDs. One was installed from the installation DVD a few days ago and is on a new larger HD (the Master) recently bought following my upgrade to OS 10.5.4 (Clean Install). The other is still on the old (Master) HD (which is now the second internal) as a result of installing it two years ago, again from the (same) installation DVD.
When things settle down I will erase the old HD and re-use it. Perhaps this is in accordance with MS's license because both are on the same computer. Whatever the position, I did not encounter any problem.

Images with straight lines are distorting (round) on PSCC on iMAC but not on MacBook or second iMAC?

Images are distoring (rounding) on Photoshop CC on my iMAC but same NEF file on MacBook Air or our second IMac do not show distortion. On preview, the image appears normal. Is there a way to repair PS CC or does it need to be reloaded? How can it be repaired or reloaded.
Hard to find the right technical expert - chat isn't working
Thanks.

You have some lens correction enabled or a graphics hardware acceleration issue. nothing that a reinstall would fix. Since you haven't provided any relevant exact technical info, nobody can say more.

NEF images loaded on iMAC into PSCC are distorted, but not on Preview or second iMAC or MacBook Air

NEF images loaded onto one IMAC into PSCC are distorted but show normally in Preview.   Same NEF on second iMAC and MacBook Air are not distorted.   Questions
1.     Is there a setting in PSCC that needs to be tweaked
2.   Is the PSCC loaded on the iMAC corrupted or need repair?   How does one determine which and how to fix?
Thanks

SA 520 error every 10 seconds: sqlite3QueryResGet failed.Query:SELECT * FROM networkInterface WHERE interfaceName=\'bdg1\

Hi all,
On a SA 520 I got this error, every 10 seconds:
sqlite3QueryResGet failed.Query:SELECT * FROM networkInterface WHERE interfaceName=\'bdg1\
Internet access was very spoty and I couldn't reach the firewall administration on the LAN interface. Had to shutdown the appliance to get it working again.
Firmware version is 2.1.7.1
What could have happenend?
With kind regards,
Jeroen

Hi, everything in the "Quick Reference" section should be commented out with ;
You should change those settings further down in the php.ini file.
Example:
error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED & ~E_STRICT
display_errors = Off

Are you sure to have the full length file in the library? If you start playing it, will it show the full runtime on the controls?

How do I continually loop frames with a 20 second pause in each frame from the same scene without going to the next scene?

How do I continually loop frames with a 20 second pause in each frame from the same scene without going to the next scene? There are buttons for the other scenes in these frames. The below works well until I am at the last frame in scene one, then it goes to the next scene and plays. How can I make scene one a continually loop.
stop();
var timer:Timer = new Timer(20000,0);//<--
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, timerHandler);
timer.start();
function timerHandler(event:TimerEvent):void {
    this.nextFrame();
    //or if you want to jump e.g 5 frames
    this.gotoAndStop(this.currentFrame+5);
Thank you for any help.

For this code to work, you need to empty the first frame and place all the photos a frame ahead. Then, place this code on the first frame. DONE!
If you need more help, I'll try to answer it the fastest I can.
Oh, and I could actualy make your photos fade out and fade in as they rotate from frame to frame, it would be awesome. Just tell me if you want me to do it. Good luck

How LabVIEW get interrupt signal from microcontroller

Hello,
I try to write a LabVIEW program to test PC Oscilloscope using microcontroller and parallel port.
The program will triger the microcontroller and wait for the interrupt signal from the microcontroller.
Then read the data and show the display.
I defined my ECP port as bi-directional and IRQ enable.
The problem I faced in here is how to get interrupt service in LabVIEW 5.1 without DAQ board.
My computer's IRQ is 07 and I would like to control interrupt service by using parallel port.
Thanks in advanced.
Best Regards,
HMU

Hi,
I was very interested looking for possible answers to your question - no feedback from other people - o.k.
I think, that I have some experience with LabVIEW and
the use of printerport on different operating systems (Win9x,WinNT,W2k). But I would solve your problem with
polling of that "filtered" bit on printerport. If some- body has a better idea - let me know. If you have questions about interfacing @ printerport - please write to: [email protected]

I need to create a second back-up of iPhoto from Time Machine to a separate external drive. The old iPhoto in TM will not open. Please help!

I need to create a second back-up of iPhoto from Time Machine to a separate external drive. The old iPhoto in TM will not open. Please help! And thank you!

Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store
