Stuck profile and pretty sick of liars

Ok, after a powercut on Monday (which was widespread in Co Down), my profile is back on the same, pathetic. "up to 2000kps" profile that it ALWAYS goes on if there is even a hint of thunder or a blip in the electric..
Download speedachieved during the test was - 1842 Kbps
For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 400-2000 Kbps.
Additional Information:
Your DSL Connection Rate :4224 Kbps(DOWN-STREAM), 448 Kbps(UP-STREAM)
IP Profile for your line is - 2000 Kbps
I have been on this forum innumerable times with exactly the same problem...as I am very busy and have a digger hired out, I decided to phone the "special" no that India gave me if such a stuck profile happened again (LOL)...
After spending 15mins on the phone to some advisor in India (neither of us could understand each other as I have an Irish accent) trying to explain what a stuck profile was, the advisor was able to see I have had this problem many times before (OH really...duh!!)..
He lied and said they were doing "advanced" tests on my line and they could see no problem...LIAR!!!
Then He said they had reset the profile and it will take 7 days and I will Never have this problem again...LIAR!!
I understand broad band and DLM and it is far too aggressive and is obvously not fit for purpose...I pay for up to 8meg,,,not up to 2meg...
I am really sick of the incompetent LIARS who run their "customer" service...anyone who has been around a while will know that the only way I've got this fixed in the past is to contact the CEO...This time, however, I have had enough and think I'm out of contract,,,I will be requesting my mac code and will be leaving this Internet Provider
ASAP and will make sure to tell everyone I know about this!!!!!!

I have a long rural line as well and while I can't solve all your issues I can suggest a few things perhaps
firstly the power issue, have you looked to setting your router on a UPS? most use kettle sockets so you would need to make an adapter but Belkin do some that have normal sockets. Would not last long but does filter and smooth out issues with the power and if you just have the router on it even a fairlly small model would give you a fair while, mine certainly last way longer than I takes me to fire up the backup generator.
Fixed profiles may well be a solution for you but should the line be upgraded at any stage you may then loose out.
You might also see if BT will check that you are on the best pair possible, for example where I am there are no spare pairs but further back nearer the exchange there is a 50 pair 0.9 cable about 1km in length and onlly about 10 lines were switched to it as of yet (mine included) and that made a huge difference to my service when I got it done in 2006 after a nearer section had been downgraded during a replacement.
I am told that if you can get any section swapped from /5 to .6 then that is even better than the same length of .6 being changed to .9 but either way any up in conductor size tends to be a huge help.
BTW would strongly suggest you try using a BT business hub not the netgear, I have tried many routers including the netgear but the business hub seems to have something extra that helps my line a lot, I now tend to get a steady noise margin during the day rather than frequent fluctuations, I suspect it is impluse noise protection but may be wrong there. Worth getting one of ebay to try.

What are the "Profile" and "Level" Settings in AME?

One thing I never understood is the option for the Profile and Level when I'm exporting a clip in AME. Not sure if those are options for most codecs but it is for the MainConcept H.264 Video Codec. For Profile, there is an option of "Baseline", "Main", and "High". For Level, starting from 3.1 and up, it's 3.1, 3.2, 4.0, 4.1, 4.2, 5.0, 5.1. I don't know what these are and therefore don't know which to choose. I know that the level has something to do with resolution so if I'm exporting in 720p, which level should I choose?
**While on the video encoding topic, in terms of quality, best to worst, what would the order be for the types of bitrates? Is it VBR 2-pass, CBR, then VBR 1-Pass?
-Sorry if this is a bit off-topic for Premiere CS4. There just wasn't any specific location for AME or Video-encoding..

Profiles outline/suggest certain encoding/decoding capabilities of a given video compression standard, like H.264. For example, the High profile enables B-frames and CABAC encoding. Levels are a means of ensuring that a hardware decoder can properly decode a stream. For example, an iPod can play back Baseline profile, Level 3.0 encoded video, but nothing higher. Higher profiles and levels enable other hardware, like Blu-Ray players. For the most part, you can ignore levels when encoding for computer playback, and only concern yourself with profile.

Generic questions about CMYK profiles and proofing

I just read a big book about color management and am trying to make it happen but it seems that in real life I can't get good results.
I have my scanner profiled and it produces aRGB docs.
All good and fine. The images look good on the monitor (which also is profiled.)
Now these images I place inside InDesign as aRGB.
And at some point comes the time for soft proofing.
So I start experimenting with different CMYK profiles.
First question: Should I already do a CMYK conversion for my images in Photoshop or is it ok to do it in InDesign when exporting to PDF?
Coated Fogra27/39, ISO Coated v2 and Euroscale Coated v2 seem to change the colors only slightly.
But when I turn on "Simulate Paper Color" all hell breaks loose. The paper color seems to be always a cold horrible grey and the image is darkened and dulled. It looks like in need of serious color correction.
And further how do these generic profiles know about my paper color anyway?
So maybe this feature should only be used if the profile is custom made for a specific printer and paper.
Second question: has anyone succesfully used the simulation of paper color with a custom made profile?
But it seems that custom profiles are something I can only use at home because the printing service providers seem to be quite unaware of profiling their machines for a specific paper (or profiling it at all).
They tell me to send a "pure" CMYK file without any profiles. But that is impossible because to transform an RGB in CMYK one MUST use a profile.
Third question: Which kind of profile should I use when I am instructed to provide a profile-less CMYK document?
And finally what is the purpose of proofing in the first place if I don't know exactly the profile created for the combination of the output machine and output paper? This issue becomes clearer when using (slightly) colored paper.

>First question: Should I already do a CMYK conversion for my images in Photoshop or is it ok to do it in InDesign when exporting to PDF?
You can save the conversion until you make the PDF if you like, especially if you don't know the correct profile in advance, but you lose the ability to fine-tune and individual image.
>But when I turn on "Simulate Paper Color" all hell breaks loose. The paper color seems to be always a cold horrible grey and the image is darkened and dulled. It looks like in need of serious color correction.
I think this is mostly a case of your eye accommodating to the brightness of the screen. I'm not sure how to avoid this, and I generally don't use the simulate paper color. Comparing my screen to the real printed output without the simulation seems pretty close. Even a generic profile makes an assumption about the color of the paper stock, but a custom profile would be more accurate.
>Third question: Which kind of profile should I use when I am instructed to provide a profile-less CMYK document?
As you already said, you can't do the conversion without knowing the profile. What they are asking is that you don't embed that profile when you do the conversion to PDF. This means they can use a file prepared for the wrong profile and not risk further conversion at the RIP which would create rich blacks from you 100% K elements (type), but the colors wouldn't be 100% correct unless the profile you chose for conversion originally matched the press.
Generic profiles are a quasi-standard that most presses can match, but may not be able to produce quite as wide a color gamut as a custom profile, but many presses don't have a custom profile available. You should ask for a "contract proof" to check the color before the press runs, and if possible go to the printer for the make-ready and check the color on the press before the whole run is printed. There is a LOT of color control available to a skilled press operator, and expect some variation through the run.

SNAP profiles and ads for newsprint

I've posted before regarding newsprint and Rob has posted links to profiles for newsprint. I have a SNAP profile I started using recently on all my newsprint exports.
I've noticed, with and without SNAP profile, though I export my PDFs with the same settings, some weeks the ads looks great and then one week the ads run soft or misregistered. Registration is a obviously a press issue but what about color shift. Sometimes my ad will be the only color ad that looks weak on a form when the month before the same PDF (we remit multiple insertions in same publication as one PDF with insertion dates in the slug).
So…I figured I run this by everyone again. My assumption is that I can use my standard export (x1a) which is that I used for years. Last month, I added the snap profile as a setting. I uploaded a link to a QT movie of my settings.
The exported PDF can be found here. I export to 300 dpi. Should it be 200? I've heard pros and cons that 300 dpi is overkill for newsprint. I want to remit a PDF that will print as good as possible even after taking in the variable quality of newsprint especially at the local weekly level. But major publications like the NY Times and Daily News are pretty consistent. Irks me to no end when my ad looks out of register on a page where all the other ads are okay.
I don't get bad ads all the time but enough that I want to check myself and see if there's a better way or if I'm missing a step or not doing something the right way. Thanks.

g'day
i've had a look at the pdf using a plug-in called enfocus pitstop and also watched the video supplied, and i'd safely say that the pdf is being made correctly. One thing i did note is that once i used acrobat's photo touchup tool to go into photoshop and have a look at the pic, it did look washed out, but i'm assuming that's because the pic is complying with the max ink density requested by the publisher (e.g. the "sunday telegraph" in australia recommends a max ink density of 230%). the moment i went edit/apply profile and applied the SNAP profile, it looked once again like the pic in the pdf.
is the colour inconsistency coming from the same publisher, or different publishers? if so, are their recommended specs the same or do they vary? has their prepress section done something to the pic which you're not aware of?
i'm not so sure its a press issue given in the OP's own words "my ad looks out of register on a page where all the other ads look okay" because on press, colour control isn't as precise as it would be in photoshop.

Stuck Profile Part II

Hi.
Following on from https://community.bt.com/t5/ADSL-Copper-Broadband-Speed/Stuck-Profile/td-p/1433921/page/3
Here's my problem, my broadband is fast enough and stable at around 10db SNR giving me 13Mbps.
But when my connection re-syncs to a lower margin of 6db, I get terrible errors on the line which cause my broadband speed to drop to less than 5Mbps.
What if I cant find the source of the errors, or fix the issue?

On the garage extension socket I removed all terminals apart from 2&5. I also noticed that only those two terminals were connected from the garage extension wire into my main living room socket (at least I assume its the same wire, I should perhaps of disconnected it to verify - maybe I'll do that in a couple of days).
I also re-seated the connections on my living room socket as they looked a bit tatty.
Maybe its time for a professional to have a look because the exterior faceplate also needs checking I reckon.
a) how much do Openreach charge to take a look? Yes a minimum of 129.99
b) would they be willing to check the internal/external extensions are wired correctly and not introducing noise?Yes possibly an extra charge
c) can I get them to fit more modern sockets instead of the LJU5 I have? Yes
d) if they can fit a more modern socket is there one that can be fitted which is compatible with Infinity if and when it ever gets enabled for my line? yes they could fit the latest Infinity style faceplate

Yet another stuck profile?

I think I too have a stuck profile. When I first connected using this modem/router (8 months or so) I was getting between 12 and 15 Mbps. about three months ago it dropped (gradually) down to its present speed. I recently renewed my contract and was told I should be getting around 14Mbps.
I have run all the line tests and they too indicate I should be receiving about 14Mbps. I have tried connecting direct to the socket and done the noise tests and everything else suggested on the forum.
I have included the speed test results plus the stats from my modem. Any suggestions would be welcome.
Thanks

Problem with Cisco IPMA - between the manager profile and assistant profile

Greetings to all.
The problem basically is that wen I do a call (internal o external) to the extension configured in the manager phone, the assistant phone dosen`t rings or take the call, even the call in progress dosen`t appears in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Assistant Console of the Assistant
Also the icons of the IPMA in the manager phone dosen`t appears.
I have check the following:
1.The configurations on both profile and its look ok
2.I have restar the Cisco IPMA, CTI and Tomcat Service
3.I have reconfigured the profiles
What else I can do
What is the most common cause in these cases
Thanks

I have the same problem, did you resolve it ?
Our Customer have about 50 IPMA and there are work. The problem is only with 4 IPMA Assistance (always the same). Sometimes (few times in week) lost Assistance icon Managers, and Managers doesn’t see shared lines, Intercom, services IPMA on phone doesn’t work. But sometimes Assistant icon is showing but Manager don’t see active connection and can’t call via Intercom.
Assistance have 7962 Phone with load cmterm-7942_7962-sccp.9-2-3.cop.sgn
Managers have 7965 Phone with load cmterm-7945_7965-sccp.9-2-3.cop.sgn
CUCM (PUB/SUB) is 8.6.2.20000-2
I opened a TAC case already but the problem is not resolved.

ODI Data Profiling and Data Quality

Hi experts,
Searching about ODI features for data profiling and data quality I found (I think) many ... extensions? for the product, that confuse me. Cause I think there are at least three diferents ways to do data profiling and data quality:
In first place, I found that ODI has out of the box features for data profiling and data quality, but, acording to the paper, this features are too limited.
The second way I found was the product Oracle Data Profiling and Oracle Data Quality for Oracle Data Integrator 11gR1 (11.1.1.3.0) that is in the download page of ODI. Acording to the page, this product extends the existing inline Data Quality and Data profiling features of ODI.
Finally, the third way is Oracle Enterprise Data Quality that is another product that can be integrated to ODI.
I dont know if I understood good my alternatives. But, in fact, I need a general explanation of what ODI offer to do Data Quality and Data profiling. Can you help me to understand this?
Very thanks in advance.

Hi after 11.1.1.3 version of ODI release, oracle no longer supports ODP/ODQ which is a trillium software product and this not owned by oracle. Oracle is recommending the usage OEDQ for quality purposes. It's better if you could spend time on OEDQ rather than trying to learn and implement ODP/ODQ in ODI

Oracle Data Profiling and Data Quality

Hi,
How to create metabase for Oracle Data Profiling and Data Quality.Is metabase and repository are same.

Hi,
You can create a metabase in the Metabase Manager:
- Expand Control Admin
- Click on Metabases
- in the Metabases window, right-click on the white area and select Add...
- go through the wizard to create your metabase
This is documented in the ODQ/ODP tutorial (http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/oracle-data-quality/pdf/oracledq_tutorial.pdf) and in the Documentation (in Metabase Manager or Oracle Data Quality go to Help and then Manuals).
Thanks,

Hi Jamesdwills,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
If you are using the same Apple ID on both devices, the Game Center profile should be the same.
Check out this information from the iPad User Guide. Try signing out of the Game Center on both devices and then sign back in with the correct Apple ID:

How to use Device Profiles and Viewing Conditions Profile in Photoshop Elements 11?

In trying to get to grips with the Colour management aspects of PSE11, I have encountered the following problems:
Having selected "Display" a sequence of clicks (Change display settings -> Advanced settings -> Colour Management -> Colour Management tab -> Colour Management)
gives a screen which includes the headings:
Device Profile and Viewing Conditions Profile.
1. Device Profile. Besides sRGB and ARGB, the profile list includes the profiles for all of the Epson papers. (I have an Epson Stylus Photo PX810FW).
I changed the Profile to an Epson Grayscale, this was accepted within the menu, but there are no changes from normal when I viewed the image on the Windows screen or within
PSE11. ("normal" is sRGB or ARGB).
I thought it worth a try to test that, if I wanted the display image to closely represent what I would get on a particular Epson paper, this may be a way to do it.(I suspected this approach because I have never
seen it in the literature!).
So what is the purpose of all of the paper Profiles appearing in the Display listing?
2. The Viewing Conditions Profile has also several options. I have tried to find the criteria for choosing one rather than the other, but failed to find any information. Can anyone help? I seek general guidance
rather than the details of the Profiles.
As a seperate question:
Selecting Image on the PSE11 menu across the top of the displayed image, and then Convert Colour Profile, I tried this process on an image, converting tiff to sRGB. When saved there was an extra asterisk in the saved title but in this case,
the file was still labelled tiff and there was no change in the number of Mbs. If a conversion has taken place, how is one to know? Does saving a tiff file as jpeg change its colour profile? When is it useful to use this feature?
Many thanks to all responders!

Addressing your second question, you are confusing two different things.
tiff is an image file format, as is jpeg, as is psd, as is png, as are dozens (if not hundreds, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_file_formats) of other formats.
A colour profile represents the colour characteristics of devices so that, for example, displays know how to display the colours, printers know how to print them.
Image files MAY, but do not have to, contain colour profiles.

The Ultimate Guide to Resolving Profile and Device Manager Issues

The following article also applies to issues after re-setting the severs' hostname. It also applies to situations where re-setting the Code Signing Certifictateas described by Apple has not resolved the issue.
Hello,
I have been plagued with Profile Manager and Device Manager issues since day one.
I would like to share my experience and to suggest a way how to resolve issues such as device cannot be enrolled or Code Signing Certificate not accepted.
I shall try to be as brief as possible, just giving an overview of the steps that resolved my issues. The individual steps have been described elsewhere in this forum. For users who have purchased commercial SSL certs the following may not apply.
In my view many of these issues are caused by missing or faulty certificates. So let us first touch on the very complex matter of certificates.
Certificates come in many flavours such as CA (Certificate Authority), Code Signing Certificate, S/MIME and Server Identification.
(Mountain?) Lion Server creates a so-called Intermediate CA certificate (IntermediateCA_hostname_1") and Server Identification Certificate ("hostname") when it installs first. This is critical for the operation of many server functionalities, including Open Direcory. These certs together with the private/public keys can be found in your Keychain. Profile and Device Manager may need a Code Signing Certificate.
The most straightforward way to resolve the Profile Manaher issues is in my view to reset the server created certicates.
The bad news is that this procedure involves quite a few steps and at least 2 hours of your precious time because it means creating a fresh Direcory Master.
I hope that I have not forgotten to mention an important step. Readers' comments and addenda are welcome.
I shall outline a sensible strategy:
1. Clone your dysfunctional server to an external harddrive (SuperDuper does a reliable job)
2. Start the server fom the clone and shut down ALL services.
3. It may be sensible to set up a root user access.
4. Back-up all user data such as addess book, calendar and other data that you *may* need to set up your server.
5. Open Workgroup Manager and export all user and workgroup accounts to the drive that you using to re-build your server (it may cause problems if you back-up to an external drive).
6. Just in case you may also want to back-up the Profile Manager database and erase user profiles:
In Terminal (this applies to Lion Server - paths may be diferent in Mountain Lion !)
Backup: sudo pg_dump -U _postgres -c device_management > $HOME/device_management.sql
Erase database:
sudo /usr/share/devicemgr/backend/wipeDB.sh
7. Note your Directory (diradmin) password for later if you want to re-use it.
8. Open Open Server Admin and demote OD Master to Standalone Directory.
9. In Terminal delete the old Certificate Authority
sudo rm -R /var/root/Library/Application\ Support/Certificate\ Authority/
This step is crucial because else re-building you OD Master will fail.
9. Go back to Server Admin and promote the Standalone Directory to OD Master. You may want to use the same hostname.
10. When the OD Master is ready click on Overview and check that the LDAP and Keberos Realm reflect your server's hostname.
11. Go back to Workgroup Manager and re-import users and groups.
NOTE: passwords are not being exported. I do not know how to salvage user passwords. (Maybe passwords can be recovered by re-mporting an OD archive - comments welcome! ).
12. Go to Server App and reset passwords and (not to forget) user homefolder locations, in particular if you want to login from a network account!
If the home directory has not been defined you cannot login from a network account.
13. You may now want to restore Profile Manager user profiles in Terminal. Issue the following commands:
sudo serveradmin stop devicemgr
sudo serveradmin start postgres
sudo psql -U _postgres -d device_management -f $HOME/device_management.sql
sudo serveradmin start devicemgr
14. You can now switch back on your services, including Profile Manager.
In Profile Manager you may have to configure Device Management. This creates a correct Code Signng Certicate.
15. Check the certificate settings in Server App -> Hadware -> Settings-> SSL Certificates.
16. Check that Apple Push Notifications are set.(you easily check if they are working later)
17. You may want to re-boot OS Server from the clone now.
18. After re-boot open Server App and check that your server is running well.
19. Delete all profiles in System Preferences -> Profiles.
19. Login to Profile Manager. You should have all users and profiles back. In my experience devices have to be re-enrolled before profiles can be pushed and/or devices be enrolled. You may just as well delete the displayed devices now.
20. Grab one of your (portable) Macs that you want to enrol and go to (yourhostname)/mydevices and install the server's trust profile. The profile's name should read "Trust Profile for...) and underneath in green font "Verified".
21. Re-enrol that device. At this stage keep your finger's crossed and take a deep breath.
22. If the device has been successfully enrolled you may at last want to test if pushing profiles really works. Login to Profile Manager as admin, select the newly enrolled device. Check that Automatic Push is enabled (-> Profile -> General). Create a harmless management profile such as defining the dock's position on the target machine. (Do not forget to click SAVE at the end - this is easily missed here). If all is well Profile Manager will display an active task (sending) and the dock's position on the target will have changed in a few seconds if you are on a LAN (Note: If sending seems to take forever: check on the server machine and/or on your router that the proper ports are open and that incoming data is not intercepted by Little Snitch or similar software).
Note: if you intend to enrol an Apple iPhone you may first need to install the proper Apple Configuration software.
Now enjoy Profile and Device Manager !

HI
1. In Action profiles, logon to system and recheck correcion are available in action definition as well in condition configuration and the schedule condition is also maintained. but the display is not coming(i.e in the worklist this action is not getting displayed).

After latest update (today), Firefox continually crashes. How can I uninstall this latest update? Tried creating new profiles and they also crash.

Firefox worked earlier today (August 19, 2013 about 6:30 pm EDT). When I opened Firefix after 9pm EDT, Firefox attempted to perform an update. No error was given, but now Firefox will not start. Running a Windows 8 machine with all updates and current security software with no known malware on my system.
When I try to start Firefox, the system shows the "working" circle, but then nothing. I created a new profile, and got Firefox to start, but whenever I try to go to any website, Firefox crashes.
Last 2 crash reports from today:
InstallTime20130814063812 (contents: 1376962029)
