Sounds "sticking" in games and a question for Creat

I'm not sure if this is the best place to do it but I'd like to kind of formally briing forward a bug in games that's not X-Fi dependent. I've had this happen with my Audigy 2 ZS and my Fatalty.
I know this isn't anyone's fault but it's still quite annoying. Sometimes if a player near you starts shooting (usually it's shooting) then the server or he/she lags for a second, his/her gun will be stuck on firing. Till they die or change weapons or fire again, you have that sound looping constantly. At first I thought this was only in BF2 and a bug in the game. However, after playing FEAR online more now, I've had this happen several times. Although it's rare, it is a pain. Sometimes if you ask the player to fire their gun again they will other times they won't.
My question for Creative is, would it be possible to have a "reset" command for the soundcards? Have it flash the RAM real quick or restart the sounds somehow? Just make it a hot key that players could push when it happens?

I am pretty sure I have the same case. The product description on Amazon says VTSO, but the metal tab actually says IVSO. All of the ones I see look like they are probably the same or very similar case with a different name. I bought the QuickShot cover, and it is OK, but it does nothing to protect the corners, which I consider very vulnerable spots. The IVSO/VTSO provides all around coverage. I don't think we are going to find anything much better. If I do I will come back and post.

My ipad2 doesn't play sound on most games and apps, what did i do?

I have no sound on most games and apps. But I have sound on pandora and a few others. What's going on here?

Here's what happened to me, and how I resolved it. In my settings, (Settings->General), I had "Use the Slide Switch to:" set to the default, "Mute." I had the slide switch in the mute position when I went into settings and changed the control for the slide switch to "Lock Rotation." This caused the slide switch control to change to rotation locking, but it left the volume control in the muted state.
This is where King_Penguin's response comes in: if the slide switch controls rotation locking, you have to use the home button to get to the mute setting. Double-tap the home button to reveal the application switcher bar at the bottom of the iPad. Then swipe from left to right in that bar to reveal the audio controls. The icon on the far left will be of a speaker. If it has a slash through it, audio is muted. Simply tap the icon to toggle it to a non-muted state. Also, you can verify that the volume level itself is not all the way to the lowest setting. The volume slider is on the right side, next to the Music icon.

At least I'm not the only one with the issue. I was looking it up so see if others had the same problem and found a bunch of posts about it. I'm assuming it's not the phone then, it's the software. Should I bring it to the Apple Store? Replacing the phone seems stupid, because the phone isn't really the problem. It's the software! Maybe the iOS 5.0.2 will fix it??? I don't really want to wait though, it's a pain. If a lot of people have this issue it should get Apple's attention. They need to do something to fix it, ASAP!

Lost sound from onboard games and youtube, skype and computer sounds ok. Presario CQ61

This happened after I installed the last Vista updates from microsoft. Both sound drivers say they're ok when I run dxdiag. Mixer at 100% No sound in two browsers, and dvd's have no sound either. Would a system restore be the way to go, or can I just reverse an update without doing the whole computer? Thanks in advance for the info

try this.

Compiled Error in Xcode for iphone game and other questions

Dear all,
Hi, I am a newbie of xcode and objective-c and I have a few questions regarding to the code sample of a game attached below. It is written in objective C, Xcode for iphone4 simulator. It is part of the code of 'ball bounce against brick" game. Instead of creating the image by IB, the code supposes to create (programmatically) 5 X 4 bricks using 4 different kinds of bricks pictures (bricktype1.png...). I have the bricks defined in .h file properly and method written in .m.
My questions are for the following code:
- (void)initializeBricks
brickTypes[0] = @"bricktype1.png";
brickTypes[1] = @"bricktype2.png";
brickTypes[2] = @"bricktype3.png";
brickTypes[3] = @"bricktype4.png";
int count = 0;`
for (int y = 0; y < BRICKS_HEIGHT; y++)
for (int x = 0; x < BRICKS_WIDTH; x++)
- Line1 UIImage *image = [ImageCache loadImage:brickTypes[count++ % 4]];
- Line2 bricks[x][y] = [[[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:image] autorelease];
- Line3 CGRect newFrame = bricks[x][y].frame;
- Line4 newFrame.origin = CGPointMake(x * 64, (y * 40) + 50);
- Line5 bricks[x][y].frame = newFrame;
- Line6 [self.view addSubview:bricks[x][y]]
1) When it is compiled, error "ImageCache undeclared" in Line 1. But I have already added the png to the project. What is the problem and how to fix it? (If possible, please suggest code and explain what it does and where to put it.)
2) How does the following in Line 1 work? Does it assign the element (name of .png) of brickType to image?
brickTypes[count ++ % 4]
For instance, returns one of the file name bricktype1.png to the image object? If true, what is the max value of "count", ends at 5? (as X increments 5 times for each Y). But then "count" will exceed the max 'index value' of brickTypes which is 3!
3) In Line2, does the image object which is being allocated has a name and linked with the .png already at this line *before* it is assigned to brick[x][y]?
4) What do Line3 and Line5 do? Why newFrame on left in line3 but appears on right in Line5?
5) What does Line 4 do?
Thanks
North

Hi North -

UIImage *image = [ImageCache loadImage:brickTypes[count++ % 4]]; // Line 1
The compiler is telling you it doesn't know what ImageCache refers to. Is ImageCache the name of a custom class? In that case you may have omitted #import "ImageCache.h". Else if ImageCache refers to an instance of some class, where is that declaration made? I can't tell you how to code the missing piece(s) because I can't guess the answers to these questions.
Btw, if the png file images were already the correct size, it looks like you could substitute this for Line 1:
UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed:brickTypes[count++ % 4]]; // Line 1
2) How does the following in Line 1 work? Does it assign the element (name of .png) of brickType to image?
brickTypes[count ++ % 4]
Though you don't show the declaration of brickTypes, it appears to be a "C" array of NSString object pointers. Thus brickTypes[0] is the first string, and brickTypes[3] is the last string.
The expression (count++ % 4) does two things. Firstly, the trailing ++ operator means the variable 'count' will be incremented as soon as the current expression is evaluated. Thus 'count' is zero (its initial value) the first time through the inner loop, its value is one the second time, and two the third time. The following two code blocks do exactly the same thing::
int index = 0;
NSString *filename = brickTypes[index++];
int index = 0;
NSString *filename = brickTypes[index];
index = index + 1;
The percent sign is the "modulus operator" so x%4 means "x modulo 4", which evaluates to the remainder after x is divided by 4. If x starts at 0, and is incremented once everytime through a loop, we'll get the following sequence of values for x%4: 0, 1, 2, 3, 0, 1, 2, 3, 0, 1, ...
So repeated evaluation of (brickTypes[count++ % 4]) produces the sequence: @"bricktype1.png", @"bricktype2.png", @"bricktype3.png", @"bricktype4.png", @"bricktype1.png", @"bricktype2.png", @"bricktype3.png", @"bricktype4.png", @"bricktype1.png", @"bricktype2.png", ...
3) In Line2, does the image object which is being allocated has a name and linked with the .png already at this line *before* it is assigned to brick[x][y]?
Line 2 allocs an object of type UIImageView and specifies the data at 'image' as the picture to be displayed by the new object. Since we immediately assign the address of the new UIImageView object to an element of the 'bricks' array, that address isn't stored in any named variable.
The new UIImageView object is not associated with the name of the png file from which its picture originated. In fact the UIImage object which inited the UIImageView object is also not associated with that png filename. In other words, once a UIImage object is initialized from the contents of an image file, it's not possible to obtain the name of that file from the UIImage object. Note when you add a png media object to a UIImageView object in IB, the filename of the png resource will be retained and used to identify the image view object. But AFAIK, unless you explicitly save it somewhere in your code, that filename will not be available at run time.
4) What do Line3 and Line5 do? Why newFrame on left in line3 but appears on right in Line5?
5) What does Line 4 do?
In Line 2 we've set the current element of 'bricks' to the address of a new UIImageView object which will display one of the 4 brick types. By default, the frame of a UIImageView object is set to the size of the image which initialized it. So after Line 2, we know that frame.size for the current array element is correct (assuming the image size of the original png file was what we want to display, or assuming that the purpose of [ImageCache loadImage:...] is to adjust the png size).
Then in Line 3, we set the rectangle named newFrame to the frame of the current array element, i.e. to the frame of the UIImageView object whose address is stored in the current array element. So now we have a rectangle whose size (width, height) is correct for the image to be displayed. But where will this rectangle be placed on the superview? The placement of this rectangle is determined by its origin.
Line 4 computes the origin we want. Now we have a rectangle with both the correct size and the correct origin.
Line 5 sets the frame of the new UIImageView object to the rectangle we constructed in Lines 3 and 4. When that object is then added to the superview in Line 6, it will display an image of the correct size at the correct position.

Help with simple OS upgrade and backup questions for a dumb old previous PC user...?

Ok...have mercy on me, please...
I am not completely dumb, I know typical board etiquette, and I have searched for various answers (and found many)...but I just want to confirm my personal "research" and get all of this clear up before I proceed with this insanity. I know I could probably search more, but this is taking hours, because of all my various questions, one leads to 10 more...
I have an iMac with Mac OS X Version 10.5.8 (which, though not mentioned anywhere?...is apparently "Leopard", right? Told you I was dumb...)
Processor: 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory: 2 GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
My main goal: install an app that was in the Mac App store.
However, with Leopard, I can't access the Mac App store with Leopard, apparently.
I click on the Mac App store, and up pops up a Lion advertisement...telling me I should upgrade. Ok, fine...probably a good idea, anyway...
But how do you upgrade to Lion? Apparently through the Mac App store!
The web-redirects on the Apple site are amusing...taking me on an endless cycle...purchase Lion in the app store...click..."you need to upgrade to Lion"...OK...click..."you need Lion at the app store"...OK...click..."you need to upgrade to Lion to get to the app store"....etc.
OK...fine...google searches...ahh, I need to upgrade to Snow Leopard first, apparently! Yes?
(Maybe the Apple redirects should detect that I have Leopard, and direct me to a screen that explains that I must upgrade to Snow Leopard...and then Lion! Do you hear that, Apple? Thanks.)
Anyway...so here's my plan:
1) Upgrade to Snow Leopard
2) Access the Mac app store
3) Upgrade to Lion
Question A: With my iMac (specs above), is it really advisable for me to do this? Can my computer really handle Lion? It seems I barely meet the minimum with my intel core 2 Duo and 2 GB ram...yes? Is this a dumb idea, even if "OK"? I know that "minimum requirements" on a PC often meant: "Well, it will work...but it will be slower than a snail and crash if you run 5 programs at the same time" (which I usually do...) I don't want to upgrade if the "minimum" is really not enough.
Question B: If the answer to A is "not a good idea", then do I just need a new computer (i.e. better processor)? Or do I need more Ram? And can I add Ram to this computer, and is it relatively easy? I have added Ram to PCs tons of times, and you always have to determine type of Ram for your board, make sure they "match", or whatever, and then open up the machine and install. Kind of a pain, but once I have the "right" type of Ram, opening the CPU and installing is within my abilities. Will it be harder for a Mac?
= = =
Next:
When upgrading an OS on a Windows, you pretty much format the harddrive and start all over. Back in the day I was a PC user, there wasn't really a "great" way to back up programs and files, so this was a nightmare. You could NOT just back-up software. You typically had to re-purchase and install it all from scratch. Is this the same with Macs? Furthermore, personal files were scattered all over the hard-drive for the individual software...so trying to back all that up to get it back on the new system = nightmare! I hate PCs.
Anyway...so, my iMac has Time Machine. I am pretty ignorant about this, and based on my previous PC backup program nightmares, I have a distrust for it...and don't really understand how it works. But in any event, my external drive crashed a few months ago, and I haven't replaced it, yet. So, I am replacing it soon and will get Time Machine back up and running...setting it up again, etc...leading to question C...
Question C: When upgrading from Leopard to Snow Leopard to Lion, what is the best way to ensure I keep all my programs and files. My wife and I both access the computer, so two user accounts. Does Time Machine really do a good job backing up everything and all things? Is it just a matter of upgrade to Snow Leopard...then immediately to Lion...and then some sort of "Restore" from Time Machine? Anything for me to "watch out for"...or to do when I buy a new external hard-drive and setup up Time Machine for the first time on it, in order to make this work well? Will I have to re-install all the various applications I have installed on this thing? (like with PCs?)
Thanks for any sincere help.

Apple has discontinued support for 10.5, it's a plaque of our platform that Apple only supports the last two operating systems in circulation.
Where as on Windows you can run the same OS version for 10 years and get updates free (if not stolen), on a Mac we get one year, two tops now and if you don't upgrade and break all your third party software and hardware drivers in the process, then your denied security updates.
On top of that, the OS X upgrades tend to break your older hardware too, or slow it down so much that it drives you to want to buy newer hardware.
It's funny Apple places the AppStore on your OS X version along with iTunes and Safari updates, but then doens't supply necessary security updates, your machine may be compromised and here you enter vital credit card info, banking etc. thinking you have a secure machine.
My advice, since that's a 10.5 era Mac, is to upgrade to 10.6.3 via this disk, then use Software Update until clear. You'll get security updates and your present installed 10.5 software will work in 10.6 using Rosetta.
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A
Rosetta is not avaialble in 10.7 so it could be a lot of your software will no longer function
http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
I don't see the sense in you buying all new software for a machine that's at it's end of life stage.
You can buy software in the AppStore with 10.6.
Question A: With my iMac (specs above), is it really advisable for me to do this? Can my computer really handle Lion? It seems I barely meet the minimum with my intel core 2 Duo and 2 GB ram...yes?
You will need to buy 4GB of RAM to run Lion well, the 2GB is just a bare minimum, and your processor is a bit dated.
Lion 10.7 is certainly slower than Snow Leopard 10.6, in fact so many wanted to go back to Snow Leopard and one of the resons was Lion was slow.
So I wrote a User Tip, here, but the Tips were implemented only recently.

RAM is easy, you can buy it at Otherworld Computing or Crucial.com and install it yourself, there is a little door under the monitor.

Mac'soperaing system is seperate, it can be replaced or upgraded indepentantly of programs or user accounts on the machine.
There are some programs that install a kernel extension file at boot into OS X, those get knocked out, but those can be replaced with a new install of the software.
You should always backup your users files as those can't be repalced.

Question C: When upgrading from Leopard to Snow Leopard to Lion, what is the best way to ensure I keep all my programs and files.
OS X upgrades dont' affect User accounts but they can have a affect on programs installed, which most of your 10.5 programs likely will no longer work in 10.7
However they will (with a slight update) work in 10.6 just like before.
You need to backup regardless, I suggest a manual backup of users files to a storage drive, a 10.5 clone on another drive, the your ready to upgrade to 10.6
10.5 to 10.6 upgrade is rather painless, also 10.6 gives accelerated video drivers, so your machine will appear faster.
However once you install 10.7, you will slow down.
Does Time Machine really do a good job backing up everything and all things?
No, you shouldn't rely upon TM, have a multiple backup stragedy, TM files are hard to access directly.
Is it just a matter of upgrade to Snow Leopard...then immediately to Lion...and then some sort of "Restore" from Time Machine?
No need to restore, OS X upgrades and leaves everything else in place, just some programs (with 10.6) or a lot (with 10.7) when you try to launch them they will fail.
Also when you connect TM it will do a substancial change to reflect the new boot drive.
If you were using TM as a "storage drive" thinking you can use the archived versions later, that wil change upon the new OS X upgrade.
But in any event, my external drive crashed a few months ago, and I haven't replaced it, yet. So, I am replacing it soon and will get Time Machine back up and running...setting it up again, etc...leading to question C..
You need not only TM drive, but a bootable clone and user files on a storage drive.
 Most commonly used backup methods explained
Will I have to re-install all the various applications I have installed on this thing? (like with PCs?)
No, depending upon what OS X version you stop at depends how many programs no longer work.
You will have to buy a lot of new or upgrade versions with 10.7, not so with 10.6 only updates mostly because of Rosetta on 10.6 and not on 10.7
My opinion, since that machine is a bit dated, is to upgrade to 10.6, Software update to 10.6.8, and stay there.
Later on 10.8 is being released after this summer, you may want to consider getting a new machine with 10.8 a few months later to ensure all the bugs are worked out of it.
Your not a comptuer savvy person, you like most Apple users expect your machine to "just work" I think going to 10.7 will be a bad experience for you.
10.6.8 will server your needs until 10.8 is released and on new hardware where Apple will hold your hand for free for three months, 3 years with AppleCare.
Your not a "OS X upgrader type of a person" and Apple needs to get of thier collective assets and pay better attention to it's most common users.

Desktop and documents question for Lion

is there a way to set certain word documents to open on a designated desktop without them appearing on other designated desktops.
for instance:
I have 2 desktops: One for play and one for work
I would like to assign certain word documents to my work desktop but
not have them appear on my play desktop.
Thanks So Much

i did assign it to open on my work desktop
but when i toggle back to my play desktop
word is open on my play desktop also because there is a little light on underneath the word icon on both desktops
I only want the app to be active on my work desktop
so my question was is there a configuration to achieve this...?

Serial Number/Manufacture and Refurb Question for iphone 5

I searched this site (and others) and couldn't find an answer for my specific serial number question so here it goes...I am selling my unlocked ATT iPhone 5 and as part of my sale, I would like to give the buyer the most information possible on my phone. I just got the phone 3 weeks ago from Apple as a replacement for the broken power button on my original phone since I was under warranty with Apple Care. I was trying to determine when the phone was manufactured and if it's refurbished so I went to the Chipmunk site that was suggested in many forums. http://www.chipmunk.nl/klantenservice/applemodel.html
Based on 4 being the third number in my serial number, it's saying that it was manufactured in 2014, is that possible for an iPhone 5?
I also received this piece of information from the report in Chipmunk:
Factory: FF (Refurbished?)
I'm thrown off by the "(Refurbished?)" part. What does FF mean, it's the first two letters in my serial number?
THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!

Any iPhone or iPad charger should work with the iPhone 5. There is something wrong with your charger. If it is the one that came with the phone it is covered by the phone's warrantee.

Chirping "Whistling" sound when playing games and high performance general

Hi.
My brand new MacBook pro 13" 2012 juli "new HD4000 version" is making a wierd chirping sound when playing ex. Diablo 3 and just running higher performance generally. It is comming from the left inside of the computer, and it doesent have anything to do with the sound system. It is still there when i turn the speakers off. My fan ofcourse begins to spin faster when i play, and maybe that have something to do with it ? Anything i could do to fix this, or should i send it to repar/service ?
Simon

Yes.
MBP is in limited warranty for 1year from the date of purchase.
MBP comes with 90 days of free tech support from AppleCare from the date of purchase.

IDVD and iMovie question for a TV viewing

I just created a 15 min movie for a friends fathers memorial that is tomorrow (sorry about the late request but no way around this one). I saved the iMovie to an m4v format. I opened this up in iDVD hoping to pick a format that she will be able to download (through yousendit), burn to a DVD and then play through a TV/DVD player. No idea what either the TV/DVD player is (format, or if its new or old??). Anyway, is there a generic format from iDVD that might work best? I am not familiar with the movie/dvd programs but work with the graphic programs daily. The format I sent her is .img and .m4v. Will these work? Didn't really see many options for saving to different formats.
Thanks in advance.

If you create a disk image file (.img) out of iDVD (an option under FILE) and send it to her she can use Apple's Disk Utility (or Roxio's Toast) to burn the .img file to writable media.

Thinkpad 8 covers & cases, and a question for Lenovo re: pricing

Hi all,
I recently bought a Thinkpad 8 and overall I'm very happy with it as I've had no issues so far. I've bought a cheap IVSO case from eBay for protection, but wondered if anyone had any leads on better quality ones out now or coming soon? The IVSO one is OK, but is bulky and none too light and when you've bought a slim, small computer for travel making it thick and heavy again is not really what you want to be doing.
I'd ideally like a quickshot cover, but Lenovo's UK pricing of £55 compared to $35 in the US is absolutely outrageous. It's actually cheaper to buy one from Amazon in Germany for 62 euros and import it. In fact, it's nearly £15 cheaper to buy one from a business seller on eBay in the US AND pay import customs charges and delivery!
I'm used to paying a bit more in the UK but this is a straightforward and very blatant rip off. Would anyone from Lenovo care to comment on whether the price will be coming down to be more in line with at the very least the rest of Europe, let alone the US?

I am pretty sure I have the same case. The product description on Amazon says VTSO, but the metal tab actually says IVSO. All of the ones I see look like they are probably the same or very similar case with a different name. I bought the QuickShot cover, and it is OK, but it does nothing to protect the corners, which I consider very vulnerable spots. The IVSO/VTSO provides all around coverage. I don't think we are going to find anything much better. If I do I will come back and post.

Flex AdvancedDataGrid - ColumnOrder With Formatter and ItemRenderer Question For Experts

I have a advanceddatagrid that has around 15 columns. Some are string,
some are numbers. I have shown 4 columns below.
The number columns have formatting done for zero precision and 2
digits precision. The itemRenderer is just to show Blue Color if the
number is +ve and Red Color if the number is -ve.
It looks something like below
<mx:columns>
<mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn dataField="Name" textAlign"left"/>
<mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn dataField="Time" textAlign="right"/>
<mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn dataField="Score" textAlign="right" formatter="{zeroPrecisionFormatter}" sortable="true"   itemRenderer="ColorRenderer" />
<mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn dataField="Average" textAlign="right" headerWordWrap="true" formatter="{twoPrecisionFormatter}" itemRenderer="ColorRenderer" />
I am trying to save the users setting of column order when he closes
the application and reload with the same order when the user opens the
applications. I am using SharedObjects and below is the code.

     var columnObject:Object = new Object();
     columnObject.columnDataField = adgrid.columns[i].dataField as String;
     columnObject.columnHeader =adgrid.columns[i].headerText as String;
     columnObject.width = adgrid.columns[i].width;
     columnArray.push(columnObject);
and then I save the columnArray to SharedObject.
I retrive them using the below code
for(var i:int=0;i<columnArray.length;i++){
    adgrid.columns[i].dataField =columnArray[i].columnDataField;
    adgrid.columns[i].headerText =columnArray[i].columnHeader;
    adgrid.columns[i].width = columnArray[i].width;
How can I save and reload the Formatter and ItemRenderer data .
I am having trouble saving the formatter and itemrenderer and
reloading it again.
I would really appreciate if you can shown the code.
How can I reshuffle the columns but can preserve all the properties of it to though sharedobject and recover it again

I would bypass the DataGrid all together. Using the DataGrid , you have to mess with itemrenderers and indexes ... not
very fun when one can avoid it. Instead , I would do my calculations off of the dataprovider. Then it becomes an elementary exercise of a for-loop and [Bindable] values.

Sounds "sticking" in games and a question for Creat
