Soundblaster Audigy Not Working (Nor has it ev

My previous post was apparently deleted, so I'll say it again. Ever since the time I bought my Soundblaster Audigy I have had problems with it. First it kept changing back to 2 speakers instead of 5. surround. I download new drivers from Creative and my computer crashes. Now it seems no matter what game I play, the sound pops, skips, and stutters. I can't stand it any more. If I ever get a new soundcard, you can bet it won't be a creative card. I'm telling everyone I know to avoid creative like the plague.

First of all, Darktangent, your post was not deleted. If you go to your profile and click "find all posts" you'll see it's still in the Sound Blaster forum.

My Apple TV does not work and has never worked.

My Apple TV does not work and has never worked. I replaced it twice and replaced my router and DSL modem but no luck. I spent hours on tech support with both apple and my ISPs with no luck. Any ideas? Is the Apple TV a donation to apple? I have had the device for 8 months but it will not work for longer than 15 minutes before it drops with network errors. All of my other devices work perfectly on the network including 2 iPads, laptops and an old wii. I love apple products and this is the first real disappointment I have had. The Apple TV seems like a major dud of a product.

Seems unlikely you have had two faulty replacements, and more likely that there may be some network compatibility issue or problem with reception in the location the AppleTV lies - anything close to it that might be interfering?
I am assuming you are connected via wifi - if you can try an ethernet connection to rule wifi issues out.
Could you try it at somone else's house maybe? If it worked there it would point to something specific at your location.
You could try replacing it again I guess or seeing if they can offer you credit or a refund.

Another Handoff not working - Apple has some work to do still

By the number of post I see about handoff problems…. it looks like Apple still has some work to do on this feature. I have read countless forum posts and replies and it seems that a large number of us are having trouble with this feature.
I have pulled all my hair out trying to sort this out…. not so much as I care about the feature as I am the type that can't stand it when I can't get something working.
My hardware is all supported 2012 MBP with Yosemite Bluetooth LMP 0x6
iPhone 5s
Same Wifi
Bluetooth on both devices
Both on same iCloud account turned on and active
Both have handoff enabled in respective settings
The only time I have been able to get it to work is when I wipe both iCloud accounts and then sign back on after a restart then I get the handoff dock icon when doing something like creating a new email. But it will works once or twice and then stops all together. Randomly sometime the icon will be on the lock screen of the iPhone.
Very frustrating Apple!
(Yea I know 1st world problem)

Over the last week I have tried every "Windows Vista" combination of unchecking handoff, FaceTime, and signing in and out of iCloud while patting my head and rubbing my belly. And absolutely nothing worked. A few times I got handoff to work one time and then disappear again after a restore and power cycle but none of the countless tips I have read and seen worked.
Until today. I was listening to the iMore Podcast this week and they were ranting about all the people that are having continuity issues and one small blurb was mentioned that I had never heard, and this little gem was solving the handoff woes for some people. So what the heck I have tried everything else and this was simple enough.
The solution: Change the name of your iPhone. Setting>General>About>Name
I did this in combination with all the other Windows Vista Vudoo Handoff, FaceTime, iCloud off on both devices then power cycle.
Well once I restarted and got everything turned back on. It worked perfect…. everything single aspect is not working as Apple had intended it to work.
Go figure…. who would have thought????

Some commands are not working nor in illustrator nor photoshop, any advice better than Adobe?

Illustrator is not fuctioning at 100%, some commands do not work ( eg - command open, nor place etc ) and same with photoshop....
Any advice

pcmyhre,
You may try the list, possibly starting with item 7) in 5), which is a list of the usual suspects, which may disturb and confuse Illy so she fails to do even simple things.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media, see below. You may have tried/done some of them already; 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.
http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html
External media: It is always recommended here to open/save from/to own hard disk, and to copy from/to networks and removable media. You may be lucky (for a while), but the chances of file corruption and other unpleasantnesses are immensely greater when you use anything but the harddisk, and it is better to be safe than sorry.
In addition to the (far greater) risk of file corruption, some issues are mentioned here:

Photoshop Elements 4 is too old. It was written for PowerPC Macs and will not work on new Intel Macs. There is nothing you can do about it.

These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the word "Starting" (without the quotes.) You should now see log messages with the words "Starting * backup," where * represents any of the words "automatic," "manual," or "standard."
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Note the timestamp of the last "Starting" message that corresponds to the beginning of an an abnormal backup. Now
CLEAR THE WORD "Starting" FROM THE TEXT FIELD
so that all messages are showing, and scroll back in the log to the time you noted. Select the messages timestamped from then until the end of the backup, or the end of the log if that's not clear. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
☞ If all you see are messages that contain the word "Starting," you didn't clear the text field.

How do I take a screenshot? Alt + prt sc does not work nor anything else I've tried.

I have to take a screen shot for a course I am doing. The instructions I received were: Alt + print screen command. This does not work. Keeps reloading the home page. Also tried prt sc with the shift, control, and fn keys and nothing works. I have done a screen shot before but cannot remember how I did it. Rather desperate to figure this out. Any ideas?

You usually copy the screenshot to the clipboard and paste that image in an image editor program like Paint. Then you can save the image as a .jpg or .png file.

SMS not working - never has.

Hi all,
I have supposed to have had SMS on my landline since it came out.
I bought a set of Philips cordless phones for the purpose. They were the best cordless phones that I’d ever come across, great, clear sound quality, functionality etc.
The SMS wouldn’t work.
I got the ‘audio’ version of a message,,,,, but not the ‘visual’ one.
My initial contact with BT met with; “it should work (!?!?),,,,, - probably the 3rd party phones are incompatible with the service” ! And as such, wouldn’t look into it much.
Rather reluctantly, I bought a set of BT Verve phones. Excitedly, I sent myself a test message, only to find that they were the same. When I say “the same”, I meant that I still didn’t get the visual version of the SMS – not that the quality of the phones were the same, as they weren’t. They are nowhere as good as the original Philips ones – that I had now given to my old neighbours.
I tried BT again, but they said that as I am getting the audio version of the SMS, that there must be a problem with my gear.
I had visions of them saying “you only need to spend more pounds on a special bit of kit” etc, so I gave up. It has never worked since. I have refrained from giving my number out for SMS purposes, so have to keep my mobile phone on all day, just to receive said messages.
The only reason that I am brining it up again now, is that at 2:45 this morning, my phone/s went. I am now a disabled pensioner, and due to pain and medication, my sleep pattern is not as it should be. I relish the short periods of sleep that I pinch here & there.
I have a young adult Son, who has just returned from Oz. He bought a cheap car to keep him going till he makes his mind up whether he’s staying in the UK, or going back to Australia. Earlier in the day, he called to say that it was over-heating, so when the phone went at that time in the morning, it scared me to death (well, almost. In my condition, it could well have). As I struggled to get to the phone, my answer machine cut in. I still had to make it to my lounge to listen to the recording, in case there was an emergency - because - no one in their right mind would actually telephone me at 2:45 for a chat !
When I heard the audio message reverberating from the machine, firstly; I was so relieved that it was nothing serious, & secondly; so dammed annoyed that I had expended so much energy, in so much pain, just to listen to it – I almost broke down. Of course, I have not slept since then, which will bu@@er up another day.
Apologies for the rambling, but I wanted to show how these tiny niggles can effect different people, differently.
My question/s:
1) Can I get this ‘so called service’ working ?
2) If I can’t – can I get it stopped altogether ?
3) When/if it is working, does the phone ring when a SMS is received – or what happens ? If the phone rings, then I may not want the service anyway – it defeats my object. Another set of 2nd quality phones later,,,,,,,,,,

Remote not working nor i/o dri

hey all, i just installed my x-fi platinum components.
i'm able to get the soundcard to output fine. i just tried to use the remote and it said "No working IR device found". I tried switching the batteries and making sure everything was connected. I then tried to put my headphones in the i/o dri've and nothing was heard. i uninstalled and reinstalled with the cd yet the same behavior occurs. anyone have any ideas?

If your case is dark maybe grab a flashlight and recheck the connectors. Since their not keyed it is just as easy to have the cable connected to just row of pins, at least thats whats been the problem for a few ppl, hard to imagine the cost for adding the Connector thingy like is on most IDE cable connects would of added any real cost to the cards and would prolly help ppl but CL choose not to.
If your getting a red light out of the Optical out on the bay then its pwring up. If no light then maybe if you have a floppy dri've, I know they are not as common anymore, try its pwr cable just to eliminate that as the issue. Then if no light darn sure good chance the Bay needs RMA'd

MMS not working, never has.

So, a couple of weeks ago I upgraded my 8gb 2g to a 32gb 3gs with an unlimited-everything monthly package.
Being that the 2g wasn't "able" to send/receive mms natively, I was excited at finally being able to with this shiny, new phone.
Problem is, is that I have still yet to be able to successfully send or receive any mms to or from anybody.
I have reset my network settings, made sure mms was in fact turned on and done multiple hard resets. I feel like a restore shouldn't be necessary as this is practically brand new and I have no other issues with it.
People send me pictures (so they tell me!) and I get zero indication that such a thing has even been attempted (on my old phone it would just send me a weblink to view the picture). And when I try to send a picture to another person, the sending status bar gets to about 95% and then craps out, EVERY TIME and I get the little red exclamation point next to the photo I tried to send.
Any thoughts or help?

You're welcome.
Did you have a messaging plan with your original iPhone? If so, it included text, photos, and video but not with the original iPhone since it does not support MMS. When switching to a 3G or 3GS that does support MMS, this must be provisioned for your line/number with your iPhone which is handled differently than any other phone that supports MMS. This should be done automatically by AT&T when switching from an original iPhone to a 3G or 3GS, but sometimes the ball gets dropped in this regard.

Blackmagic intensity pro not working. Has PCIe been broken with 10.7.4?

Hey there
I have a 2010 Mac Pro (5,1). 8 core. 24 gigs or RAM
I'm having trouble with my Blackmagic Intensity Pro PCI card. I've installed all drivers, tried all the different PCI ports and still my MP fails to recognise it. In the system preferences panel, all options are greyed out and a message says "No Settings Required".
At first I thought it'd be a faulty card, but then I tried the card on my friend's 2008 Mac Pro, and it works just fine. What could possibly be wrong? Are the PCI slots on my machine damaged? Is there anyway to test this?
I'm under a massive deadline, so any help will be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Federico

Thanks for your replies. My friend's MP... I don't know what he's running (hes away at the moment). Prob not 10.7.4 but something before that.
And resetting the SMC: if that is just a matter of turning power off and disconnecting AC cable, wouldnt that automaitcally be done every time i unplug the MP to put the PCIe card in?
In any case, if its of any interest to anyone, the BM Intensity card is notoriously bad capturing VHS tapes (which is what I wanted to do). Frames drop everywhere, audio drifts out of sync wildy...
In the end, the best solution is to hookup the VHS deck to a DV cam and capture via firewire. Simple solution. Looks perfect
