Selective Developing...This will Rock & you know it!!

I think it would be really cool if the Develop Module incorporated (what I hope to coin) an "Exposure Mask", or "Develop Mask". Just like photoshops adjustment layers. Its not direct "pixel manipulation" but more of a selective "whatever" (Meta-)adjustment.
Let's say you photographed your subject and there is just this one area of the image that you would like to adjust. well, the problem is that all areas are adjusted globally, and the image would have to be exported to photoshop to make this one adjustment. With "Exposure Masks" one could apply this layer (or layers if need be) that would isolate the area(s) of the image that you would like to adjust--be it Exposure, curves, color, saturation, etc. Once the mask is filled in, an "Edge Blur" or "Fuzziness" slider will intuitively taper the mask as needed--Or, Like the clone tool's intuitive size adjustment when the mouse is on the border of the circled area.
hmmm, maybe even a selective focus enhancement.
the list goes on and the application is endless. Leave compositing, post process and Polish to photoshop, and make Lightroom the premiere Raw development tool that it is destined to be.

This is THE feature a LOT of us photographers are waiting for!!! Take a look at LightZone... if Adobe doesn't include this feature fast I'm sure a lot of photographers will have a very serious look at LightZone and it's incredibly fast updated versions...
Go Adobe, make us use Lightroom the xway we really worked in the darkroom, let us use our hands!

I cannot get the keyboard to come up on the ipad mini when in the citrix receiver. Has anyone ran into this and do you know how to fix it?

I am not familiar with Citrix Reciever but is it possible it is open or being used in another open app?
Try quitting all apps then try again.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Thats not possible I'm afraid, only the Apple TV can receive an AirPlay stream, and even then only one at a time, unless you stream from a computer.

This will make you Smile

I came across this whilst browsing today and it did make me laugh. So I thought I`d put it here and maybe it will put a smile on all those (me included) who have had bad days with BT.
Sorry - the link has been blocked so here it is in it`s entirety
Enjoy
Dear Mr. BT,
Thank you for the email from your BT Migration Team regarding the network upgrade on my line, due to take place last Wednesday, the 20th July.
I must confess to a wry smile when I read your statement that I might temporarily lose the use of my phone for ‘up to 10 minutes’, because the words "over" and "optimistic" sprang to mind ‐ curiously enough in that very order.
I was right, wasn’t I?
Now although life is short, at the time I felt that I could live with not having a phone or internet connection for 10 minutes because I would be at work but even if I hadn’t been, rather than checking online to see if I’d won Tuesday’s Euromillions Lottery, I could instead have used the time at home constructively - perhaps to read a book for a little while, do the washing‐up or even listen to that quaint old thing we used to call the radio.
I wasn’t surprised therefore on the 20th at midday to receive a text at work from my son informing me that the broadband wasn’t working. I replied explaining that you were upgrading the line to a new fibreoptic, mega‐sonic speed internet connection and that he should ‘wait a few minutes’. He told me that it didn’t matter because he was going out.
I was a little surprised however to receive a text from my wife at 2.37pm who informed me that the phone wasn’t working. I told her that the Mr BT’s Migration Team were busy fiddling with their knobs to make our line ‘better’ (she’s not very technical) and that they were probably taking a long lunch and the phone would work again soon.
I was more than a little surprised when arriving home at 7.00pm to discover that you still hadn’t finished.
Nor had you finished by midnight.
My surprise increased dramatically on getting up the next morning to find I still had a dead phone and an internet connection speed of zero mega‐gigaflops per second.
Indeed this surprise was nothing compared to my astonishment on reaching work and reading another email from your BT Migration Team telling me that my upgrade was now "complete". You will not be surprised to learn that at this point the words: “No it **bleep** well isn’t” issued forth from my lips in quite a loud manner.
Luckily, work is quite old‐fashioned and still had both an internet connection and phone line so I visited your BT web site to see if I could report this problem to you personally. Of course on reaching the first help page I had to shut down the window that immediately popped up asking me if I’d found the help pages helpful because you hadn’t actually helped me at all yet. Nevertheless I eventually found the page to check my line, entered my number and pushed the button and waited.
“Your phone line isn’t working” said the resulting page.
Really? You do amaze me.
“Would you like to report this fault?”. Yes please. I pushed the button and waited again.
On seeing: “By which method would you prefer to be kept informed as to the progress of the repair?”, I obviously chose ‘by text’ as opposed to other methods because, funnily enough, I DON’T HAVE A PHONE OR AN INTERNET CONNECTION AT HOME (AND I DON'T OWN AN OWL!)
It’s at this point that I’d like to congratulate you Mr Bee. Within three minutes, you had texted me not once, but twice.
The first to was tell me you’d received my report and the second was to inform me when the repair would be carried out.
Well done BT!
Even my youngest son would not have been able to input letters on his phone that fast and he even uses both thumbs to do it. I think you should consider contacting the Guinness Book of World Records to see if you can enter. I was very impressed at your ruthless efficiency and you didn’t even use the abbreviation ‘U’ or ‘R’ once.
I was not so impressed to read the second text however. It said: “Your repair will be completed by 5.00pm ….” (Good so far)....
"…..on Tuesday, July 26th” !
SIX days ??? Are you having a laugh?? What has happened to the BT Migration Team? Have they all flown South to escape the English Summer? And how can you possibly confuse the figure of ‘10’ with ‘8,640’ minutes??
Today, thinking that you may have mis‐texted, I arrived at work and phoned you instead. During the ensuing long, one‐sided conversation with your automated robot system I think I must have pressed more buttons on the telephone than Neil Amstrong did during the entire Apollo 11 mission to the moon and back. Eventually, the she‐bot told me that the nice repair man would begin to LOOK at my problem on the 26th!!
You mean that you’re not actually working on it now?? Have the BT Migration Team migrated to Homebase to exchange that fibre‐optic cable that must be just 6 inches too short to reach my socket??
“There is a problem at our exchange” I am told. A problem? Clearly! Has it been nuked?? Have you lost the key and are unable to gain entry?? Have you checked under the mat?
Is Rupert Murdoch a shareholder in your company? Did he perhaps hack into my mobile and overhear me say several dubious things about him and government conspiracies and this is his way of getting revenge?
Yes, we have mobile phones to ‘fall back on’ but some of us don’t have posh contracts with one million free minutes and unlimited web surfing (Oh, yes – I remember that). Some of us are on pay‐as‐you‐go because some of us have too much month left at the end of the money after paying the prices for your telephone line rental , calls and broadband.
Fortunately I don’t feel alone right now. If it’s a problem at the exchange there are probably thousands of people in the same boat as me. In fact, I’m going to phone our friends up the road and see how they’re doing.
Oh, no. I can’t can I?
I hope it’s not seriously going to take that long and I do hope the Migration Team are having a nice holiday.
Yours Sincerely,
Keith Hunt
Needless to say Keith had a call from BT on his mobile less than two minutes after BT received his complaint! Quite impressive. But when asked the obvious question as to when it would be fixed, the lovely lady replied:
"Tuesday 26th". (!!??)
But it didn't happen. By the 29th, Keith was putting pen to paper again:
Dear Mr BT.
Happy anniversary for Wednesday.
Did you think I’d forgotten? Don’t be silly – you should know me better than that by now. No, indeed I would really liked to have called you or emailed on the exact date but I didn’t have a phone line or internet connection at that precise moment.
A bit like now in fact.
I know it’s only been a two or three days since my promised reconnection on the 26th but it seem so much longer, doesn’t it? It’s my understanding that a 1 year anniversary is known as ‘paper’ but I’m not sure what a 1 week’s anniversary would be called and obviously I can’t look it up on the internet. Logic dictates that it must be smaller and thinner than ‘paper’ so I’m going to guess at ‘hair’.
So, happy ‘hair’ anniversary Mr Bee. In celebration I would have liked to have sent you one of my hairs for you to keep and cherish forever but what few I had, have now been torn out in frustration.
To be brutally frank, I’m beginning to wonder where our relationship is heading.
You teased me on Monday 25th didn’t you? I was thrilled when at around 1.15pm I received a phone call on my mobile, a full 1,440 minutes ahead of your predicted repair date, from a person who introduced herself as ‘Anne Engineer’. (She has quite a masculine voice doesn’t she?) Anyway, she explained that she was working on my fault and asked me what the symptoms were. I explained that although I’m not a doctor, my amateur diagnosis was that ‘I had no phone line’. She promised to work on it.
Thank you Anne.
Then you teased me again on Tuesday with a text message. I had a huge smile on my face when I read: “Hello, this is Mr BT....” but sadly, that faded quite rapidly as I read the rest of your message: “…It’s still not fixed”. And that’s the last I’ve heard.
It’s now Friday the 29th.
After your hollow promise of me having to lose my phone connection for ten minutes, here we are – nine DAYS later (or twelve thousand, nine hundred and sixty minutes in Telecom time) and I still have no phone.
I’m beginning to think that I was right in my first letter; in that your exchange has been hit by a small, tactical nuclear weapon. Given that, just like at Chernobyl, your Migration Team have probably had to draw straws to choose which unlucky person would ‘volunteer’ to enter the building.
Anne lost, didn’t she? This would certainly account for her deep voice and the fact that she now glows in the dark. I expect that my short length of fibre‐optic cable, sitting discarded in the corner of your exchange now has a radioactive half‐life of 50,000 years and I would recommend that Anne doesn’t touch it in case of any possible Health & Safety ramifications or potential litigation.
Despite the stress over the last nine days I’m still in reasonable health, thank you for asking. I just think that it’s a good job that I’m not elderly or infirmed and have the need for a ‘Careline’ panic button linked to my phone to press in cases of emergencies. Guess why? Go on – I dare you.
Some elderly people are not as au fait with modern technology as you or I Mr Bee and may not have access to an iPhone, iPad, iMessengerPigeon or even a mobile phone. I wonder how they’re getting on?
I hope they’re not lying lifeless in the middle of their hallway at the moment ‐ just like my phone ‐ with a doctor standing over them asking: “And what exactly seems to be the matter?”.
I like your new TV advert Mr Bee. You know the one I mean? The one where all the blue lines cascade through cities and towns into a house and into the lucky family’s computers, X‐boxes and PS3’s to show your unhindered and uninterrupted wi‐fi coverage. Have you seen it? You must remember it, yes ‐ no?
It’s the one I paid for.
My son and I have spent a long time over the last few days looking for our own blue lines and despite us opening all doors and windows and moving various large items of furniture, we still failed to allow in or discover one single line of any colour.
So in my humble opinion, our wi‐fi is SO interrupted that I would have to describe it as being completely and utterly rupted. Perhaps you could try opening a window at your end to see if that might help.
I called your she‐bot automated person again today who has a marginally sexier voice than Anne. I took a very positive attitude about it – for me to press so many buttons in such rapid succession is good practice for using our game console’s hand controller because usually I’m rubbish at playing the online version of ‘Call of Duty’. The good news is that it’s been so long since my son has played online he might have forgotten everything and I might stand a chance of beating him. I’m about to write to the game’s software team suggesting they create a new ‘BT ‐ The Final Decimation’ level. I’m very much looking forward to that.
Phoning the she‐bot was a bit like a computer game actually – after hours of battling through many levels, you think you’ve won when all of a sudden you’re told by the end‐of‐level Boss to ‘press button 2 to continue’ and then all you hear is: “Thank you for calling BT. Goodbye” and you have to start the game again. It’s not as addictive as playing Worms or Bejewelled I have to say.
I’m hoping my phone will work soon Mr BT. My voicemail is probably full and I’m looking forward to making and receiving calls again.
I hope the very first call I get is from your Subscribers & Accounts Department.
It’s been SUCH a long time and we have SO much to talk about.
Yours in baldness,
. . . it must be remembered that the sea is a great breeder of friendship. Two men who have known each other for twenty years find that twenty days at sea bring them nearer than ever they were before, or else estrange them.

Guess you didn't read the manual which says:
"This optical drive reads and writes to standard-size CDs and DVDs."
and
"The SuperDrive in your MacBook Pro supports standard 12 cm (4.7 inch) discs. Irregularly shaped discs or discs smaller than 12 cm (4.7 inches) are not supported."
so I'm not sure a sticker would have been of much help.

When I log into hotmail, I cannot select part of an e-mail and print just the selection. This will work with other borowsers.

I can print an entire e-mail when I log into Hotmail using Firefox, but if I select part of the e-mail and tell the printer to print the selected part, all I get is a blank page coming from the printer.
I can print the selected text if I use Internet Exlporer as a browser to log into Hotmail.

Hi,
My dad told me he had this 'no selection' problem when he wanted to print out a selection in Hotmail, so I had a hunt around, but didn't find a definitive solution.
So, I have done some playing around, and have come up with this solution which works if you want to print out a selection in Hotmail (using firefox), but it is now greyed out.
It seems to be connected with the way that Hotmail handles frames.
(Thought I would post it as posts like this have helped me a ton in the past :0))
'''To print a selection in hotmail you need to do this.'''
1/ On the email you want to print click the small Printer icon in the hotmail menu.
There is no need to highlight a selection at this stage because the email is in a frame, so it will do no good anyway.
2/ A new page will open up and the printer dialog box will open up.
Close the printer dialog box.
3/ Highlight the text selection that you want to print on that page.
4/ Press Ctrl-P on the keyboard.
5/ The printer dialog box will now pop up again and you will be able to choose 'Selection'
Your selection will now print.

Ok here it is, i have a max limit of 201 thread running at once, i have a class object called Thread Tracker which i have synchronized to keep the number of threads running. Now if 201 thread are running no other threads can start, if a thrwad finnishes it subtracts one from the threadtracker class (yes it is synchonized) and than another thread is able to run. However eventually i get to a point when all 201 thread are waiting for tht thread running to drop below 201, but it never will because they are all waiting.
See im creating a web crawler and the problem is ill start with one site it could have 6 link on that page so it creates htread for all those pages and all the links on those pages, See bellow.
1 - 6 - 36 - 216 - 1296
6 is just a estimated number of new urls on each page, but hopefully u can see wat i mean, soo the porblem is that the number of threads being created massively outnumbers the number of threads finnishing and i end up with a dead lock.
The reason i limit the number of thread running is because if i dont i reach max mem usage and get memory errors, i can prob go to about 800 threads but im using 200 as a test.
lol to tell ya the truth i have no idea wat todo. ne help would be great.

Maybe a workers and boss architecture?
Let the Boss start with a queue seeded with the initial URL. If there are items in the queue and no workers, the boss employs a new worker and hands the worker the item in the queue. The worker reports new URLs back to the boss. The boss puts the new items into the queue.
The workers also report "job done, ready for another" to the Boss. If the Boss reaches max employees, it continues to add new items to the queue while waiting for this report, then hands an item to the next free worker.
Since only the Boss handles the queue, you shouldn't have a deadlock problem. You can also give the Boss some logic about which URLs are the best candidates for crawling, since it will see the workload (size of queue) and number of employees.
The Boss could also send memos to the workers telling them "due to overloaded queue, please wait no more than Xx millis before giving up and reporting in "job done, ready for another."
As in the physical world, the Boss could be very intelligent or quite the moron. Up to you to avoid Dilbert.

Wanting to do this effect (did you know)

The effect is the multiple "?" in yellow boxes flying at the screen.
I would be replacing "?" with "!" but thats not important
Im not even sure where to start on this one.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thnaks in advance.

[W520 audio] This will make you laugh (or cry)

The biggest dissapointment for me with my W520 was the unusable mic and speakers (for skype, presentations, movies etc).
Every other laptop I have owned is far far superior.
Today I was asked to fix a brand new dell Inspiron 15R. The Supplier had put on it a plain copy of Windows 7 with no dell drivers, so the trackpad was not working, no option to sleep on battery low etc.
I noticed it was using the generic windows audio drivers, but mic and sound was fine (skype conferences etc. were good). I downloaded and installed the dell drivers anyway. Guess what - they are conexant, the same as on the terrible sounding W520. After insatllation, the mic was unusable - got the same underwater "bwa-bwa-bwa" just like on the Think. I disabled all the "enhancements", and it was somewhat better, but still worse.
I never managed to solve the problem accptably on the think - I take a Toshiba when I need to have a skype conference or use someone elses machine.
How to Conexant get away with supplying such rubbish to big names for so many years without anyone noticing?
One thing did shock me - both machines have a quad core, high end graphics & 1080p panels. Side by side, the Dell lasted >6h with screen on full doing nothing (6 cell battery), the Think lasted <2h (9cell). Both machines throttled the CPU down to 800MHz.
Sorry, posted it in wrong goup - should have been in thinkpad forum.

Have you seen this giant thread about sound on the W520?
http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/W-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/W520-Sound-Enhancement-Thread/td-p/442761
Sound on the W520 is awful with default settings and isn't great even with these enhancements but it's much better. Basically, replace the Conexant drivers with some stuff from Dolby. I've used my W520 for skype many times with no problems.
I have the same CPU in my W520 as you and with the 9 cell battery I get significantly more than 2 hours, I'd say 4-5 hours now (battery is over a year old) with normal use and more like 5+ when the battery was new. Maybe check your power settings, I don't have anything set out of the ordinary. Most of the options on balanced type settings when on battery.

hi ,
i found something odd while coding .
tell me can a thread enter in any other states such as wait(), sleep() etc.. without even having started the thread .
if you say yes then please explain how.
what i found is that i was able to use sleep() method without even calling t.start() and when i checked the t.isAlive() it showed me a "false" implying that thread is not running ,then how come t.sleep(int) was working which was a statement below t.isAlive() ,please explain.
eg
no t.start anywhere in the program
run() method was called implicitly by me as run() on some click event
here i checked t.isAlive //which said false => t is not running
very next i had t.sleep() // it worked
bie regards

I will try to explain it! But please don't rely on my reply as these are only my assumptions.
*You had created the thread, but hadn't called start, right.
->that means thread is ready(object exists), but the command to the OS havn't been given yet to create new execution unit.
*sleep is a method of Thread object, that sets any flag, which is used by the execution unit to pause execution for a certain time.
*so sleep did its work, (setting the flag). that is another thing it is not being used as execution unit doesn't exist.
*Now isAlive checks the status of execution unit only, not of sleep flag.
*that's why sleep worked.
*any objection to anybody about it. Please comment.

This will get you using your head.

Hi,
I am trying to convert a search algorithm so it will iterate one step at a time every time the method is called instead of doing the whole sort at once. I have done it with a bubble sort
FROM:
     public static void bubble(int bNumbers[])
          int i, j, temp;
          for (i = (bNumbers.length - 1); i >= 0; i--)
               for (j = 1; j <= i; j++)
                    if (bNumbers[j-1] > bNumbers[j])
                         temp = bNumbers[j-1];
                         bNumbers[j-1] = bNumbers[j];
                         bNumbers[j] = temp;
     }INTO
     public static void bubble(int bNumbers[])
          if(jB != 10)
               int temp;
               if (bNumbers[jB-1] > bNumbers[jB])
                    temp = bNumbers[jB-1];
                    bNumbers[jB-1] = bNumbers[jB];
                    bNumbers[jB] = temp;
               if(jB==iB)
                    jB=0;
                    iB--;
               jB++;
     }I am trying to do the same with an insertion sort. I have been trying for the last 2 hours and it is reallying starting to annoy me. Can anyone have a go.
Insertion Sort algorithm:
     public static void insertion(int iNumbers[])
          int i, j, index;
          for (i=1; i < iNumbers.length; i++)
               index = iNumbers;
               j = i;
               while ((j > 0) && (iNumbers[j-1] > index))
                    iNumbers[j] = iNumbers[j-1];
                    j = j - 1;
               iNumbers[j] = index;
Thanks
John Cleary.

Sounds like a producer-consumer scenario. I have done some animation out of some graph algorithms, and here is what I did for a step-by-step execution.
I used a separate thread for the algorithm, and it checked a flag to see if the user wanted step by step execution, and if so it waited on a lock. When the user signaled for another step, it was just
lock.notify();
Is that ok for you?

MAC OS
iMac
There are several versions of the iMac computer. The first two versions (referred to as revision A and revision B) were colored Bondi Blue. The next version (referred to as revision C) was introduced in January 1999 and came in five different colors.
Revision A and B iMac computers support IrDA, but not IRTalk. Revision C iMac computers do not support infrared communication of any type.
PowerBook G3 Series (Lombard and Wallstreet)
PowerBook G3 Series computers are IrDA compliant.
PowerBook G3(Pismo or Firewire)
The PowerBook (FireWire) supports IrDA.
PowerBook G4 (Titanium) and PowerBook G4 (Gigabit Ethernet)
The PowerBook G4 and PowerBook G4 (Gigabit Ethernet) support IrDA.
BLUETOOTH
Bluetooth is a short range radio link meant to replace the necessity of cables to connect portable and/or fixed electronic devices. The Bluetooth protocol uses a combination of packet and circuit switching to transmit data through variable hop frequency. Connectivity across a network is provided according to time slot division. It provides point-to-point or point-to-multipoint connection, creating links for between 2-8 devices (including the initiating Master/host and its Slave/s) to form a piconet. Multiple piconets that are linked together form a scatternet. A Master in one piconet can be a Slave in another, and vice versa, to form an inter-connected network. Dial-Up Networking, Fax, Headset, LAN Access, and SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) Access functionality all use serial port communication profiles and virtually emulate RS232 (or similar) serial cable port protocols.Ê A Bluetooth management application is necessary in each device to facilitate the serial port emulation. Radio Frequency Communications (RFCOMM) is used to transport user data, modem control signals and configuration commands.
When using a cellular device equipped for Bluetooth communications to transmit data over a cellular network, the Bluetooth link must be established as an initial protocol layer and the cellular network link is negotiated in a second protocol sequence through the cellular device. For example, when attempting to connect a Pocket PC device to the GPRS data network using a cellular phone as a negotiator via a Bluetooth link. The connection is initiated and controlled by the Pocket PC device, but dependent on the SIM functionality available through the cellular phone to negotiate and establish the connection to the cellular network. In this capacity, known as a SIM Access Profile, the cellular phone functions as a Server (or ÒaccepterÓ) while the Pocket PC device acts as a Client (or ÒinitiatorÓ). A Client may have access to only one Server with a SIM at any given time of active connection. Designation of a Client versus Server role is independent of the deviceÕs discover/discoverable status.
To ensure secure communication between the Client and Server devices, several conditions must be met. The Client and Server must be successfully Bonded (otherwise known as Paired) before setting up a SIM Access Profile or configuring the settings of a GPRS/GSM network connection. The SIM bearer (cellular phone) must be properly enabled to initiate authentication. The link between the Client and Server will be encrypted using the Bluetooth baseband and will be at a minimum of 64 bits. Each incident of authentication will be identified with a unique Passkey between the devices that must be in mutual agreement at the time of connection.
Bluetooth transceivers operate in the 2.4 GHz ISM (Industrial Scientific Medical) band. In a majority of the countries in the world this band includes 2.400-2.4835 GHz. Please note that products that implement a reduced frequency band will not work with those that implement the full frequency band. These products that are reduced in frequency (perhaps distributed in different countries), are generally intended for use in a single market. As such, devices developed and/or purchased in Europe and Asia (for example) may not be compatible for use with devices from the United States.
For more general information about Bluetooth development and technology, go to www.bluetooth.com, the official Bluetooth website. Select the link to Bluetooth technology & you to find links to Using Bluetooth technology, Products, and How it works. In the Using Bluetooth technology section, there is a link to view information about connecting a Mobile Phone with a Personal Computer. Here you can view links that include all currently supported and available devices that are applicable to your needs. This will be useful to verify the compatibility of your devices. You can find specific information about the technical details and requirements of modem data transmission using cellular technology with Bluetooth by proceeding to the Developer Information section and viewing the SIM Access Profile and v.1.1 Profiles documentation.

GENERAL DIAGNOSTICS WITH BLUETOOTH
* Make sure that your Bluetooth devices are compatible.
* Your operating system should be current on all applicable software, driver, and firmware updates.
* Verify that the Bluetooth functionality in both devices is turned ÒOnÓ.
* Verify that the devices are currently bonded/ paired. This can often be difficult to assess with the Nokia 6310i. The phone may not show the devices as ÒActiveÓ, but the Bluetooth Manager will display that the devices are paired/bonded. Often the phone will display a Disconnected message. Disregard this message and continue with the instructions in the setup guide.
* Ensure that the Bluetooth Dialup Modem is selected in the Connections (for Pocket PC devices), System Preferences/ Network (in Mac OS X), or Dial-Up Networking properties (in Microsoft Windows OS).
* It may be necessary to attempt to connect multiple times to establish a GSM/GPRS connection. Do not be discouraged if you receive a connection error or receive a Disconnected message on your cellular phone. Due to interference or early product development, it may take several attempts to push the connection through all layers of the Bluetooth service and protocol stack. It is also possible, as is seen with the Nokia 6310i, for a Disconnect message to be given while transfer protocol layers of communication are still recognized and active. In this case, a temporary minor error (Òdata not availableÓ or Òcard not accessibleÓ) is the cause as the Client device attempts to initialize and access the SIM for data packet transfer.
* Verify that you are not in the presence of equipment that may be interfering on the same (or possibly overlapping) radio frequency as your Bluetooth communication. This includes medical equipment, wireless 802.11 connectivity devices, other Bluetooth enabled cellular phones, airport communications, amongst other factors.
* It may be necessary on some devices to alternate in the bonding/pairing process between setting the phone in Discover versus Discoverable mode, as is sometimes the case with the Sony Ericsson T68i.
* Verify that your devices are fully charged.
* Verify that you have GSM/GPRS coverage available at your location and that your wireless account is properly provisioned for data transmission with a modem over the network.
* Check that your connection is using the correct Dialing Location properties and profile. For a GPRS connection, this should follow the instructions to include the letter G in each of the three dialing location fields of the Dialing Patterns specifications as well as verification that the phone number to be dialed is *99# and that the Area Code and Country Code fields are not included in your connection.
Alternative methods of Pairing/Bonding for the Nokia 6310i and iPAQ 3800/3900 series device with Pocket PC 2002 Operating System
If you are experiencing problems due to interference, or if your signal strength is not very strong, modifying the serial port connection may allow you to connect to the GPRS network.
* Open the Bluetooth Manager application on your Pocket PC device.
* Verify that the Bluetooth on your handset is currently On. (You may want to check the power level on your devices.)
* If your Nokia 6310i is not seen as an available device, tap on Search and proceed to locate it and Save it to a group. Otherwise, tap on the Nokia 6310i icon.
* Tap on Actions.
* Select Set as Bluetooth Dialup Modem.
* Tap Actions again.
* Select Connect to COM 1.
* Press Accept on the phone to connect with the Pocket PC device.
* Enter a unique Passcode onto your handset.
* You will have 10 seconds to enter the same Passcode/PIN code onto your Pocket PC device.
* Your phone will notify you that you are connected. You can verify this by scrolling through the Bluetooth menu on your handset and selecting View active device.
* You will have 3 minutes to proceed before your Bluetooth session will time out.
* Proceed to connect using the usual methods outlined in the setup guide.
* You will be notified that the Serial style= style=Port style=connection was terminated . Tap OK and continue anyway. It may take several attempts to get the Bluetooth stack to respond.
* Press Accept to connect to the phone once more.
* The phone will now notify you that a GPRS connection is in progress.
The following method may also be useful if the bonding appears to be unstable and multiple attempts to connect through the Connection Settings fail:
* Open the Bluetooth Manager application on your Pocket PC device.
* On the phone, scroll to select Bluetooth from the main menu, then select Bluetooth and select Off.
* Turn your phone off, then on again to fully reset its Bluetooth protocol stack.
* On the Pocket PC device you should see the Nokia 6310i listed. Tap to select it.
* Tap on Actions.
* Select Remove bond with this device.
* Tap on Actions again.
* Select Remove this device.
* Tap Yes when asked if you want to remove it from all groups.
* Close all open windows on your Pocket PC device and tap on the Bluetooth icon on the lower left corner of your screen.
* Select Turn radio off.
* Soft reset your device according to manufacturerÕs instructions.
* Tap on the Bluetooth icon on the lower right corner of your screen again and select Turn radio on.
* Turn the phone back on, scroll to Bluetooth from the main menu, then select Bluetooth and select On.
* Open the Bluetooth Manager application.
* If you do not see your device listed, tap on Search.
* Tick the box to select your phone, choose a group and select Save.
* Tap OK.
* Tap on the Nokia 6310i icon.
* Tap on Actions.
* Select Create bond with this device.
* Enter a unique PIN code.
* Press Accept on the phone when prompted to Pair with the Pocket PC device.
* Enter the Passcode/PIN code. You will have 10 seconds to complete this task. (If you receive a Disconnected message on the phone, continue anyway.)
* Proceed to set up your connection as usual through your Connection Settings.
* If you are not connected the first time, tap Connect to try again immediately after you receive the Disconnected message on the phone. It may take several attempts to get the Bluetooth stack to respond.
* Press Accept on the phone to accept the connection.
* The phone will indicate that a GPRS connection is in progress.
The processes for troubleshooting Bluetooth in a Windows environment are very similar to those of Pocket PC devices.
* In the Bluetooth Manager application, proceed to click on the Nokia 6310i and select Unpair device, then proceed to turn the Bluetooth radio Off on the computer and on your phone. Reset both devices, then try again. This should clear any temporary problems in the Bluetooth service and protocol stacks.
* It may be necessary to attempt to establish your GSM/GPRRS connection multiple times before you will actually be able to transmit data over the cellular network.
* Verify adequate power level on each device.
* Resolve any issues that may exist with your cellular account or wireless coverage in your location.
* Other wireless electronic devices that operate in (or near) the Industrial, Scientific, and Medical bandwidth may provide significant interference. These include other cellular phones, 802.11 devices, medical equipment, airport communications, amongst other factors.
* You must select secure encryption to be used when creating the bond with your devices in the Bluetooth Manager.
USEFUL AT COMMANDS
When GPRS doesn't appear to be working, or you just want to check that all is well, hopefully the following will prove useful:
Check the phone
Verify that GPRS is currently available in your location and that your cellular account is properly enabled for data transmission over the network using your device as a modem.
If all appears well on the phone, head to HyperTerminal or your equivalent Terminal application and try some of the following style=to further query the status of your ability to communicate with the network:
at+cgatt?
If a value of '1' is returned, then we have GPRS attached. If the value is '0', then GPRS is currently deactivated (i.e. the service is either down or the user is not currently provisioned).
at+cgatt=? will return the supported values for the command
at+cgatt=1 will attempt to attach to the GPRS network
at+cgdcont?
This will allow you to check that the Access Point Name (APN) has been set correctly.
A typical response will look something like this:
+CGDCONT:1,"IP","proxy"
If the APN is set incorrectly for the AT&T Wireless GPRS service, enter the following:
at+cgdcont=1,"IP","proxy"
at+cops?
This will return the identity of the network operator.
at+cgreg?
This will return the network registration status.Ê One of the following values should be returned:
0 - not registered, not searching
1 - registered, home network
2 - not registered, searching
3 - registration denied by network
4 - unknown

You welcome

Has anyone seen this photo effect before and if so do you know the process involved?

I have seen this photo effect before and was wondering if anyone on the forum has any knowledge of how it produced in Photoshop. I am sure Poster Edges has something to do with it but I can not seem to replicate the effect.

Thanks I will check.... only reference I have found is under LED Effect but no Tuts, Thanks again I will let you know if I find anything. Really a cool visual effect.

Itunes match how do you to select multiple songs or do you click each one

In ITunes match how do you to select multiple songs to download to pc or do you have to click each one.

First make sure you have the current version of iTunes, which is actually 10.5.1. I had to manually download it from apples website, for some reason, it wouldnt auto-update.
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Once that is complete, go to the iTunes store. In the Quick Links secion to the right, you should see iTunes Match. This will prompt you to activate your subscription to iTunes match. After that it should ask you to add your computer and once youve done that, it should begin the process of scanning your library and adding it to the cloud
Alternatively, once you activate your subscription, you can also go to the Store dropdown menu in iTunes and select Turn On iTunes Match.

Selective Developing...This will Rock & you know it!!
