HT1577 how do a get a refund on a ridiculously slow downloading rented movie for my apple tv dispite a 5mb/sec down load speed? my first experience with appletv movie rental. no good. rented at 4:30pm. still waiting for standard def movie to finish at 8:1

how do a get a refund on a ridiculously slow downloading rented movie for my apple tv dispite a >5mb/sec down load speed? my first experience with appletv movie rental. no good. rented at 4:30pm. still waiting for standard def movie to finish at 8:10pm. Not good enough.

Thanks for the pointers folks. Yeah, 1.5GB is pretty poor isn't it? There are other suppliers, but you have to get a their phone line installed to access the internet so it's an £85 setup fee plus a day off work for a guy to come round and drill a hole in your wall before you even get to the monthly costs.
Don't get me wrong though - I'm certainly not an Apple basher, but am equally frustrated with both them and the ISP.
Virgin Media spend all kinds of money advertising their broadband as the fastest in the UK, but don't tell you (up front anyway) that you'll be cut off if you actually try and use it.
Apple on the other hand carry on with their 'it just works' mantra, but with Apple TV this only applies if you meet certain criteria (again, not mentioned up front).
I guess it aint a biggie, as i was gifted my Apple TV, and love all the other stuff it does, but from the number of posts on this forum can see that there's a lot of angry customers out there who want explanations as to why they're having similar problems to me.
Will be very interesting to see if Apple release any kind of software update that turns the flash drive from a buffer to permanent storage, to at least ease some of the pain...

This my first experience with itunes and using a gift carddownloaded an album and only half of a few songs played before jumping to the next song

This is my first experience with itunes and I chose to download a Mark Knopfler album. The first three songs stopped half way and instantly started the next song. How do I re-load the songs since i now "own" them? Thanks. Luce.

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

Video quality difficulties with Vimeo and Youtube sites and with smart phone

Ever since the Vimeo and Youtube sites have changed, it has been pretty difficult to get the video quality I had before. I'm using Final Cut Express to edit, Quicktime Player to resize the video to 640x480 (is too wide when saving FCE project as Quicktime movie), and Jes Deinterlacer to remove all of the jaggies that the original deinterlacing on FCE doesn't fully do (skateboarding video). I'm aware Final Cut Express 4 is a discontinued product, and Apple support over the phone can't help me. The quality is TERRIBLE on my smart phone, and used to be really good before the site changed. The Vimeo app played my videos very clear. I'm using a MyTouch smart phone. I want to know if the quality being bad on mobile is because of the sites being changed, and if there is anything I can do to get the quality I want. I've worked on this the past three weeks, and this is my final option, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Here are the steps I'm using to export (still trying more export options in Jes Deinterlacer).
Step 1: In FCE, click "File", "Export", "Quicktime Movie". In "Include:", choose "Audio and Video", "All Markers" for "Markers:", and check box "Make Movie Self-Contained".
Step 2: Open file in QT Player. Click "Window" (at the top between "View" and "Help"), and choose "Show Movie Properties". Click "Video Track", and click "Visual Settings". Change the dimensions (which are supposed to be 720x480 4:3 but the video is stretched). Enter "640 x 480" for "Scaled Size:", then same with "Offset:" Keep "Preserve Aspect Ratio" unchecked, then when finished entering numbers check it (doesn't let you uncheck it which would be best). Check the "High Quality" box if it hasn't already been checked. Close the window, and click "File", and then "Save".
Step 3: Open file in Jes Deinterlacer. In "Input", check box "Reinterlace Chroma", choose "Video range", and check "Remove Jaggies". For "Project", choose "Deinterlace" and "Use Bottom Field". Check "Adaptive", "Local", and "Filter Chroma". In "Output", choose "Video range". Choose "Export", and "Mpeg-4". For "File Format:" choose "MP4", for "Video Format:" choose "H.264", and for "Data Rate:" enter "2000" for "kbits/sec". Leave "Optimized for:" "Download" as is. Choose "640x480 VGA" for "Image Size:", and "Current" for "Frame Rate:". For "Key Frame:" choose "Every", and enter "24" for "frames". Click "Video Options". Leave the "Main" box checked, and check "Baseline" for "Restrict Profile(s) to:". Choose "Best Quality (Multi-pass)" for "Encoding Mode:". Click "Ok". Click "Audio" (since done with "Video"). For "Audio Format:" choose "AAC-LC (Music), for "Data Rate:" choose "320 kbps", for "Channels:" leave as "Stereo", for "Output Sample Rate:" choose "44.100 kHz", and for "Encoding Quality:" choose "Best". Click "Ok" (leave "Streaming" alone).

First, I would do a Search on this forum for "FRAPS." There are several articles with comments on the best workflow and also settings for Import and for Export.
Next, YouTube is trobulesome. First, they re-encode everything and their specs seem to change weekly. It's tough to find out what they want on any given day. I'd go to their site and get the very latest instructions and attempt to duplicate those perfectly, knowing that they might be different tomorrow.
Good luck with this one, and good luck with the FRAPS footage.

Fist day with BT. First Fault with the phone. Un...

So, I moved my phone and broadband from Sky and today took BT Infinity 2 and phone from BT. Notificatoins right from ordering up until today have been excellent - BT really have that down to a tee -it's great to be informed at each step of the ordering process.
Activation date was today and all is working well.
Well, that is except for the phone, which can dial out, and you can call in, but if you do, we get a long constant ring instead of alternate rings. It just doesn't stop. Until I pick up the phone.
I plugged the phone directly into the test socket. Same issue.
I tried the online check. No problem with the line.
I called and they checked. No problem with the line.
I then spoke to someone on the helpdesk who was even less help than a chocolate teapot. He tried to tell me that it was something to do with my sync speed and it will all be sorted by the 10th!
What's sync speed got to do with my phone ringing funny?
Another 10 minutes of bull**** and I eventually hang up. Some things just never change. I remember the BT Call Centre being like this years ago.
Now, I still have the issue. So, some questions:
- Even though all my order says completed, could it be that I need to wait until tomorrow for this to work properly?
- I can no longer see when I have a missed call. Previously, the phone would give me the missed call icon. Worked this morning when I was on Sky. Now, nothing. Could that be a setup thing, too?
Not related to the phone, but still frustrating is the fact that I've registered 3 iPhones for BT SmartTalk. They all have different numbers (obviously!), yet when I register them, they are all registered against the first number that I registered. Is that right? Surely not.
Now don't even get me started about having to pay for caller display and basic 1571...
For now, though, can anyone shed any light on the endless ringing issue and the SmartTalk issue?
Thanks.

Senior citizen with no experience with cell phones

I puchased a Nokia 2610 in December for emergencies only. I read the manual many times and it is not clear or I don't understand how to use the function keys. I finally figured how to add contacts(which nearly caused a coronary) and to make and end calls and that's about it.I've noticed when others turn on and off their phones, it makes some kind of music which I think is unique but I don't know what its called. Ringtones: tunes? Please explain to me in plain language how to use these functions. I'm not interested in music, email, text messages,voice mail,games or any fun things: just to able to reach my family in case of an emergency. Please help me

Naynay:
You may have received a response since you first posted, but I am nearly a senior citizen, have owned a cellphone since 1998, use one frequently, have changed phones often, have had a Nokia before, and the 2610 instructions are completely useless. I received my phone several days ago and still haven't used it. I know how to place a call and end a call, but nothing else.
What I intend to do is sit down with the phone, figure out how to use it, document what I do, and post the instructions as a guide to those who don't already know how to use such a phone. And as a model for Nokia on how to present instructions for the novice. Because you are right: Nokia ignores people who do not already know how to use the phone. Nokia: are you listening?

Micro scratches on the back of the phone? My first day with the phone and have scratches

So I picked up a Z3 at T mobile this morning. After reading online about the phone I must say I am happy so far ..besides one thing. A huge bummer at that!
All the marketing info says the back glass is scratch resistant. I have no idea how but at the end of day one I have mutiple micro scratches on the back glass. T movile only sells the black phone and they are noticable with the right angle. I can imagine on the white or copper it would be less noticable. Anyways ..Is this problem other users have had? I never used cases with my phone and have never had problmes with scratches. At this point I'm considering a case if I can find one I like and going to look for protector for the back.
I have no idea how I could of made the small scratches. I put my pone in a empty pocket. And have not dropped it. I used it on table at work durning lunch. Flat surface. Maybe.. maybe it had suger or slat particles on it. . but nothing noticable. I love this phone it's very attractive and I like the hardware. I just can believe it could be so fragile.

Sorry to hear that, you should contact Tmobile or Xperia care directly

First experiences with LR 5.0: manual file selection and Adjustment Brush

I must admit that I have not fiddled too long with LR 5.0. The reason is quite simple: its extreme slowness, even in comparison with 4.4, which is far from being fast. After slightly retouching some 40 images I fell back to 4.4 and finished testing 5.5 for a while. Anyway, in addition to the speed problem I have collected some - also not too promising - experiences:
After initially retouching the first image I wanted to copy some of its settings into the rest of the photos. Before clicking on the Sync button I had to select all the target files. Probably because of the relatively small number of images, instead of going to the "Edit / Select All" function I used "Shift+Right Arrow" for the selection. LR simply crashed...
In several cases I was not able to re-open and modify formerly 'adjustment-brushed' areas. When I moved the cursor above the relevant white 'knob-shaped' mark, nothing happened. The cursor did not even change to hand form, so the "Effect" panel remained dark and the formerly set parameters did not come up. As I kept the cursor there for ages and the image was not 'over-adjusted' (as also indicated by the small size of the associated XMP file), this failure was surely not a result of the above-referred slowness.
Once I selected an already retouched image, with the Adjustment Brush tool open. The existing adjustment mark came up over a formerly brushed area. Then, without doing anything with the open image, I moved to the next picture. To my surprise, the Adjustment Brush marks of both photos appeared on the last opened image - the one, which belonged to the previous picture and another, associated with the second picture. It goes without saying that I was not able to click on any of the Adjustment Brush marks. Closing and re-opening the Adjustment Brush tool did not help, so I had to restart LR.

Lenovo Yoga - My first experience with a notebook - my last with Lenovo

Short story about myself:
I am a designer (print/web) and a coder (Web).
I started my studying and thought it was time to get a Notebook as the iPad would not cut the productivity needed anymore. I was mostly working at the office or at home. But studying and the big breaks would make it impossible to get along both of those places so I needed a way to work while I was on the go.
So I decided to buy a Notebook. It was down to a few models but the Lenovo Yoga 13" caught me.
My i5 version had some great specs. Starting at 8GB ram going down to the IPS screen at HD resolution all was fine.
I picked it up in February just before my birthday as a little present and motivation for myself.
Trouble began right after I received it. The Space key was not responsive on the bottom left corner and the keyboard was wobbly. I was kind of disappointed as I have always read that Lenovo does great Keyboards, the Yoga does not seem to have one. I know that the keyboard won't be as great as the mechanical Keyboard I have lying around here, but that bad ?
The keyboard is what I would imagine a keyboard would feel like printed on a pad of silicone.
Fan Noise, unbearable. Working in a quiet environment is impossible. I don't want to hear any noise from a device that is using an SSD. Other manufacturers are able to shut down noise, why is Lenovo not able to ? After working several nights with the Yoga and then switching one night over to my iPad I realized how terriblly disturbing that noise was. So I did a quick search came along the forums and saw a big thread which has even grown bigger. You see customers basically begging for an Update on the Fan Noise issue. The thread has 90 pages most of them people trying to figure a way out. Some even plug out their fans and yet the Yoga runs stable.
So , we could question how much effort went into that poorly designed patch for the Yoga. It does not seem like a lot , despite the fact it took so long. I know how to Manage Information System Projects but I don't understand the time involved. Either there are problems you don't want to admit to your customer (bad documentation, no ressources, design flaw ... ) or you simply lack the ability to understand what your customer wants.
After I got sick of the issues which bothered me day by day I went into the store and registered a complaint. They sent it in.
I had the following issues:
Space Key not responsive
Top of the keyboard and right edge loose
Fan loud and always running
High Frequent Noise
Ability to turn on the device while lid is closed AND fans running at the same time
It came back:
Module changed, Bios Update, Test run
I took the device and inspected it in the store with a salesman. We both noticed a bump at the wasd keys thus we knew something went wrong and opened up the keyboard at the edge just to find out the official repair service used some double sided tape above the RAM slot. Space key was responsive now but the Keyboard had a big wave rising up at the left and lowering down at the right side. The fans were still running, I still had a high frequent noise and the ability to turn on the device while the lid was closed was still possible.
So in the next hour without exiting the store I filled in another complaint. Waited another two weeks and got the message that I should be paying for the next repair. Incredible strategy. Do the repair bad and let the customer pay. But that is not how you should deal with your customers. After speaking with the service guy , who seems to have spoken with Lenovo's service partner they took over the cost.
So now my Yoga was back.
The whole keyboard was exchanged as it seems (it looked pretty new so I assume it was changed) - The repair information just said "module changed"
After just about an hour of using the keyboard was lose again.
Guess what I went back to the store and now it was the time to request my money. Of course I had to wait for another 2 weeks.
It was a total downtime of 2 months and worst service I have ever seen. Especially that double sided tape was hilarious and unprofessional and made up for some good laughs.
And today I got my money back thanks to the law system we have here in Germany , which saves customers like me from faulty products.
In the time I did not have my Yoga I tried out several in stores and found the same errors over and over again and mostly with the keyboard. So it seems like a design flaw to me. A very bad one.
Colors were scrapping of the edges even on mine to which was handled with a lot of care and carried with a very nice incase sleeve which has some very soft fur inside.
Fan Noise on all of them. Some were even worse than mine.
I am a very disappointed customer and I don't think I will come back again to Lenovo and a lot of my friends won't get any recommandation at least not for the "casual" series. This should go straight to your quality assurance department.
You should know that you only have one chance to do it right. And if you do it wrong at least care a bit. If you don't your customers will simply move on such as me.
I hope that everyone who enjoys his Yoga continues to do so and everyone who has complaints to put up their voice so you can be heard and people who are responsible for the flaws start correcting them.
I am happy to be out of that beg for something but don't receive anything circle.

My first Mac and first experience with iPhoto. Need help

Hello everyone. I just purchased my first Mac, a Mini, last week and I'm trying to learn how iPhoto works. I've been able to import picturs from my NAS (network attached storage) drive which holds all our photos, music and videos.
However, when I took pictures over the weekend, I wanted to put them on the NAS as well and have them automatically import into iPhoto. I like that iPhoto lets you put a description about the pictures, but I can't find a way to type a description and then set iPhoto to save the pictures to my NAS drive.
I ended up just saving them to the NAS drive and then importing again and telling iPhoto to not import duplicates. The problem with that is I get folders called thumbnails and then I get messages telling me the Thumbs.db files are not readable and those are coming from my camera card or the NAS drive, maybe because it was formatted on a PC. I know Thumbs is a PC item.
With my old PC, it allowed me to pick where I wanted my photos stored and what name I would like to call the pictures and then it named them all in succession automatically. Will iPhoto do this and if so, how do I do that? And how do I enter descriptions about my old photos to make them easier to find during a search?
Thanks for the help. While the Mac is very similar to my old PC, there sure are a lot of things I'm unfamiliar with. But with time and some help from experts like you, I'm sure I'll get comfortable with it.

iPhoto is a photo organiser - that is a database. Like any database the data has to be imported into the application.
What format is that NAS? iPhoto does not sit happily on disks that are not formatted for Mac OS X (journalled). You will find issues with saving changes to the db and with sharing pics among other apps.
You can put a library on an external disk:
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library Folder as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
With my old PC, it allowed me to pick where I wanted my photos stored and what name I would like to call the pictures and then it named them all in succession automatically. Will iPhoto do t
No. For a start, filenames have no relevance in iPhoto - it's all about visual organisation. You can attach titles, keywords and comments to pics, of course, and can add them to the File on export.
If you want to set the pics in a spot, then do that with the Finder and thereafter import them. You can use a batch file renamer such as FileList to rename the files prior to import.
and telling iPhoto to not import duplicates.
Using a Referenced rather than a Managed library means that iPhoto will not copy the files, but rather simply reference them on your HD. It will create an alias to the Original file, a thumbnail and, if you modify the pics, a Modified version.
However, you need to be aware of a number of potential pitfalls using this system.
1. Import and deleting pics are more complex procedures
2. You cannot move or rename the files on your system or iPhoto will lose track of them
3. Most importantly, migrating to a new disk or computer can be much more complex.
Always allowing for personal preference, I've yet to see a good reason to run iPhoto in referenced mode unless you're using two photo organisers.
As a general comment: iPhoto is a bit different from most photo apps. It's happiest when it manages the files and lets you go on to manage your Photos. That's a key distinction though, between Files and Pictures. iPhoto is about Pictures, not Files.
You do all your work in the iPhoto Window - there is never a need to go into the Photo Library on the Hard Disk. To find and access photos:
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
For 10.5 users: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use THIS
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
To use an external editor
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
By all means post again if you need more info.

HT1218 Does anyone else have a constant problem with losing connection with smart phone due to airport

phones are constantly searching for internet connection My time capsule/air port is always losing internet connection----anyone know how to solve this?

Wireless interference is probably the cause.
If there are competing wireless networks in your area, there is little you can do other than to use 5 GHz with all the devices capable of it. For iOS devices, only iPads and the newest iPhone is. Macs have supported 5 GHz for many years.

ISE Guest CWA with Smart Phones

I've configured the Guest Web Authentication in the ISE and I've tested and every thing is working fine. I got the redirect url, I could authentication and then got an access. However, If I got the redirect url and then disconnect from the guest SSID and connect to another SSID on the same WLC (not associated to the ISE) and then connect back to the guest SSID, I'm not getting the redirect url.
I've checked the ISE and I noticed that the radius session is not terminated if I disconnected from the SSID. I tried to add an attribute in the authorization profile to have radius idle timeout, it did work and the ISE initiate new session ID, but the smartphone is not getting the url.
Anyone have/had this issue ?

I've done a test with CWA + open SSID and I don't see the problem. (iPod, latest SW update, pretty old HW)
My steps:
1) connected to CWA SSID and it asked me to register, provided my username and password to see if they are correct
2) disconnected (connected to openSSID) without registering.
3) Checked reachablity over openSSID
4) reconnected to the CWA one.
5) Got redirected automatically.
Did I miss anything? Any more steps you've done?

First experience with sound problems in Arch

Hi everyone. Just did a fresh install and pacman -Syu so everything should be up to date. Installed alsa-utils and made sure Master and PCM were unmuted. My goal here is to create a headless PC that interfaces with my radio, in order to use digital modes like RTTY and PSK.
EDIT: Forgot to mention here the nature of the problem -- no sound at all. However, the program fldigi seems to be able to get input from the Line In.
pavucontrol shows the meter moving when sound is being generated. Here's the output from lsmod | grep snd:

It seems excessive to me but I don't remember this motherboard too well. This is all built-in sound. I installed Pulseaudio as this seems to be the preferred method in fldigi, the program I'm using.
I feel like I'm forgetting a few outputs, here's aplay -l:
card 0: V8237 [VIA 8237], device 0: VIA 8237 [VIA 8237]
Subdevices: 4/4
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
Subdevice #1: subdevice #1
Subdevice #2: subdevice #2
Subdevice #3: subdevice #3
card 0: V8237 [VIA 8237], device 1: VIA 8237 [VIA 8237]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
I'm happy to provide more information. Every other arch install I've done has worked flawlessly, first time I've ever encountered audio problems.
I'm going to re-read the ALSA, OSS and Pulseaudio wiki entries, even though I feel like I'm still not grasping something.
A sincere thank-you for everyone's help here. I can get the alsa-info.sh script as well, if that will help.
EDIT: Here's the alsa-info output: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=6930c … 86954423ed

What have you used to try to push sound through?
Have you tried:
aplay -L
null
Discard all samples (playback) or generate zero samples (capture)
default:CARD=VT82xx
HDA VIA VT82xx, ALC662 rev1 Analog
Default Audio Device
sysdefault:CARD=VT82xx
HDA VIA VT82xx, ALC662 rev1 Analog
Default Audio Device
front:CARD=VT82xx,DEV=0
HDA VIA VT82xx, ALC662 rev1 Analog
Front speakers
Then:
speaker-test -Dplug:default -c2 -l1
Try changing 'default' to one of playback devices output by aplay -L
Have you tried any 'model=' options for the module?

My several issues so far with Acrobat Pro DC

This update has resulted in a LOT of added time to things I do daily. Below is a list of my issues
When using a custom stamp, once I stamp, the stamp tool isn't active and I have to select the stamp I was using AGAIN.
When selecting stamps I have placed on the page, which doesn't seem to function as one might expect, it seems to function more like text selection, and then want to align them, the align option is greyed out.
The selection of objects is awful!!!! If I click an object, then shift click to select another one, it selects all the TEXT on the page, NOT my stamps.
I can't copy a selected object by holding the alt key and dragging the object like I could in Acrobat Pro XI
Holding Shift when moving an object doesn't lock vertical movement
Is there a way to roll back to Acrobat Pro XI, this release is awful!!!!!!!

I have several more issues:
a) How do you change the background color to a darker tone? Doing a lot of print stuff for clients from the health/medical sector which are mostly white colored leaves me almost unable to see where the pages end and the light background starts.
b) Keyboard shortcut cmd+w just closes the document but leaves the weird summary page open. Does anybody know how many documents I open and close per day and that I now have to close that page every damn single time again and again?
c) As mentioned in several other posts: I'd really appreciate global settings for that tool panel (to go away!) and other panels (page overview).
Damn you, Adobe.

ICal with smart phones--- iPhone or Blackberry

I am assuming iPhone can sync with iCal? My husband and I are thinking of switching to AT&T. But, as I think of all the things that would be nice to have....
does iCal offer a sync to iPhone for two iPhones (mine and my husband's) Would it basically add calendar inputs from all directions? ie. if he adds on his iPhone or I add on mine... it would add it to my MacBook's iCal.... and also, if I add to iCal, would it add to both iPhones?
What would happen if my husband got a Blackberry instead, would that be just as compatible to syncing with iCal?

Appears to only sync with local calendars?
I have yet to get it to see iCal Server calendars.

Several Issues, first experience with smart phones
