Stumped and Desperate for Advice

I've got a WLAN setup throughout three buildings.  Centrally I've got a WRT300N router as well as a couple of computers using WMP54GR adapters.  My most distant computer (a desktop terminal) is also using a WMP54GR linked by a Wireless-G range expander but it's giving me major file-sharing issues.  I can access the internet from it, but I cannot run a program that requires access from a file from the central office to operate.  I often get Error Code 53, a "path not found" error.  What are my options?  I have an N adapter on a terminal in a closer building that gives me poor signal but operates so fast that I rarely lose packets- the program is operational on that terminal. 
I would love to keep the distant desktop in it's current location.  I usually have "Very Good" to "Excellent" signal in this location, but the packet loss between that computer and the one in the office erradicately fluctuates from 25-100%... unfortunately usually closer to the latter.  Is the range expander the problem here?  Do I just need to accept that I need to move the terminal and purchase another N adapter, I'll take poor signal strengh if the program will work, the internet is unneccesary here.  Should I look into an outdoor WAP and antenna?  Would that make any difference?  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

WRT300N connected to a normal G adapter = 54 mbps networking speed
G adapter getting signal from a WRE54G = 27 mbps or so networking speed
(range expander cuts the normal 54 mbps speed in half, in essence, it sacrifices speed for range)
Not sure where the exact problem is with your network but hopefully the facts presented helps.

    As Bob says, any iMap service can do this. GMail can, iCLoud mail can too.
    Both of these can be used with Mail on any device.

  • New at this and looking for advice

    Hi, I am new at Qmasnter and looking for advice. Myself and a few of my other co-workers have been using FCP2 and we have been tossing around the idea of making a Cluster with our computers on our campus. Two of us run on MacBook Pro's, and the other on a 24" iMac, there is also 2 MacPro's and another 24" iMac we would like to toss into the cluster. I know it seems backwards, the ones that are doing all the editing are on the slower machines, but our organization operates backwards and not logically anyways. The question is what happen to the cluster when a node is turned off? Should the laptops be a node in the cluster? All the computers are running on a gigabyte network, so the network can handle it. Just looking for peoples wisdom before I cause my own headache, and learn for others mistakes.
    Thanks

    Hi Jon,
    I've also started investigating the qmaster.
    I'm following this guide you posted on digitalrebellion :
    http://www.digitalrebellion.com/blog/posts/usingcompressor_with_multiplecores.html
    but I the 'options for selected service' is greyed out when I click on compressor.
    I can selected the 'options for...' when I click on rendering, but it just allows me to add another computer (but my only choice is 'this computer'. I see the option for SSH, but if i'm logged into another computer, shouldn't I be able to see it in the list?
    Sorry for the noob questions. I"m trying to figure it out.
    I have the following at my disposal:
    mac pro 2.66 (main machine)
    imac 2.16
    macbook pro 2.2
    powermac g5 2.0

  • Save Part of Front Panel as picture - sharing VI and asking for advices

    Hi,
    I use LabVIEW 8.2.1. (DSC&RT),
    It is common (at my work) that we want to save some parts of the Front Panel and to add it to the LogBook.
    we usually do PrintScreen and then cut the picture to the boundaries we want using 'Paint'.
    I have created a simple procedure that makes it easier and the user can now select the boundaries of the picture at the Front Panel.
    You can see the 2 VI's attached, (try2.vi is a sub vi of try.vi)
    Open 'try.vi' and press 'select boundaries' button and drag the boudaries with your mouse,
    after you have selected the boudaries, press 'save picture' button.
    I hope there are no bugs.
    Originally I have wanted to use drag and drop, but i didn't really understand what is going on behind the scenes
    when I used it.
    For example - look at the example (at NI Example Finder at LabVIEW) 'Drag and Drop - Multiple Data Types to Start Drag.vi'
    (C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.2\examples\general\dragdrop\Drag and Drop - Multiple Data Types to Start Drag.vi)
    (or via typing 'drop' in at the NI Example Finder search)
    1. I don't understand how the 'Drag and Drop Data' (located at the Application Control Palette)
    2. I don't understand the inside terminals of the Event Structure of 'Drag Enter' and 'Drop' -
        for example - 'available data names' and 'accepted?'
       where can I get information help written about any of the Event Structure inside terminals?
       (it does not appear in the Context Help when I enter with the mouse)
    3. Do you have any comments on the VI  I did ?
    4.I am planning to use this VI as a part of Log-In data to a follow-up LogBook Using Mysql as Database and NI sql connectivity toolkit,
       so users will be able to insert information to the LogBook from the Front Panel, and attach pictures of the Front Panel.
      Did anyone here has performed anything similar ?
    If you send me corrections of someting or any other NI item, please send it in a version that I can see it (I use Labview 8.2.1 DSC&RT)
    Sincerely Yours,
    Amitai Abramson.

    There are examples that come with the database connectivity toolkit so you are going to have to be more specific about your question. Whether you call it a logbook or something else, it's still a database and a database write is a pretty generic opertation. If you need help in the design of the database, then you should say that is what you need.
    The event data is going to change depending on the event and the type of control. Again, do you have a specific question?

  • TX2Z - 5 days of use: my initial impression, issues and need for advice

    Hello All,
    I have had my TX2Z for a complete 5 days now. Prior to purchasing, i had a Dell 700m for almost 4 years. When I bougt the Dell, i got it loaded with a 2GHz Intel processor, 2GB RAM, 120GB HDD, XP Pro, etc.  It is a brilliant machine and I really enjoyed it...it was good to me and I really can say I never had any issues with it.  I took care of it and it returned the favor.  I upgraded to Vista Business back in November and it was still great.  In fact, I still think it out performs (in terms of speed and stability), most other new laptops owned by my collegues. However, for work, i really needed a tablet and although i read some bad reviews about the TX2Z, i read many more good reviews.  So a couple of weeks ago, I called them and ordered a pretty loaded one.  I have the 2.4GHz processor, 4GB RAM, Vista Ultimate 64 bit, 250GB 7200 RPM HDD, etc.  I assumed it would be quite fast since reviews i read stated the standard 2.2GHz processor was sufficient.
    So it came in last Tuesday and I began the migration process.  I did a lot of reserach online about what bloatware to remove and did so.  Between work and time at home, it took me 2 days to get everything to migrate over from my Dell and install my applications. I partitioned the HD and put my data on the new partition.  Outlook migration was quite bothersome to say the least.
    I've had a lot of strange issues and had to do a lot of reserach to find fixes but it seems random new issues pop up from time to time.  They may be small, but i'm not too technical so I just expect things to work as they did on my Dell for so long.  
    1. I feel its very slow. When you click on something, like when going through email in Outlook, the email just doesn't show up in the preview pane right away...it takes anywhere from 3-5 seconds...something that was instant before.  Same thing when doing many other things...I feel like even web browsing has slowed down. i have defragmented, cleaned, optimized, etc...still inadequate.
    2. I feel its very delicate.  I've had it freeze on me a couple of times and today, i booted up and logged in and it went to some other profile on the computer with a message stating that there was an issue with my user profile.  scared me, but i restarted and then it booted into my profile.  then when i booted up again later, it did the same thing!  thank God this time it was fine on the first go, but now i feel i have to worry about that every time i boot up...not a cool feeling.
    3. I'm trying to get used to the tablet portion of it, but i feel it can be a little annoying sometimes.  i won't complain much about it though because I think i need more practice first.  i can write pretty well, but drawing on teh screen, the main reason for my using it, isn't that friendly...i always have to put the screen up to access teh keyboard and touchpad to really have what i want happen...i can't just do everything from the tablet.
    4. heat: ive seen many people complain about this...it really is annoying how much heat comes out of this thing.  i have to keep a folded cloth on my lap so it doesn't bother me.
    5. fan: again, another concern i see expressed a lot...very annoying so i try to use only when unplugged and charge when i'm not using it.  for the heat issue and the fan...i don't understand why HP doesn't use something else...i mean in this day and age, when they know this is a known issue on other models, why would they use it again?
    so that's pretty much all i can think of now.  i do like a number of things too, but i really would like advice on the above.  i know a lot of you will say just to wipe everything out and start over, but is there any other way to run some tests to see what the issue is?  i really don't want to go through another 2 day process. also, if i have to do this, is there a better way to migrate programs and data to an external HD and then back?  i just moved my data to an external HD and basically just installed software using discs and internet downloads...took forever!
    what about these recover discs i hear a lot aboutt?  if i make them now, will they keep all current data and configurations too or just the original OS?
    sorry for the long post, but would like some help on what to do.  i need to have some confidence built in me about this machine and some reassuracne that i should be happy for the next 2-3 years.  TIA.

    hmmm this is actually a not bad idea!

  • Desperate for advice on how to manage a music collection with iTunes

    Hi All
    Some advice please...... :o)
    To elaborate:
    --> I want to keep my music in a directory sorted by folders and subfolders that I create and have the ability to tell itunes where to put the MP3s it Rips from my CDs
    --> I want to point itunes at this folder (not import! the songs... why have 2 copies of the same thing... really silly!)
    --> I want to use itunes to edit tags where necessary and use it to create playlists
    --> Lastly I want to activate iTunes to have a directory view (if such a feature exists) and move between the playlists view and this view at will... Also in the list of music on itunes how would i activate a column showing where the music is stored (i.e. the actual music directory)....
    Then.....
    --> I want to be able to move the folder and the itunes db file to any machine install itunes ... point itunes at the directory of music and the itunes db and presto all my stuff nicely sorted and ready to go...
    Sorry this is how my brain works and iTunes just seems to want to do it's own thing...
    My wife has an iPod mini... and I though it was cool till I started using iTunes... and now I'm considering an iRiver for myself rather.... I get the feeling that apple is trying to lock me into a way of doing things, be it that they are nervous about piracy or want you to purchase songs/videos etc....
    Now I couldn't really care about the iTunes store.... my collection is based on CDs that I've collected over years and years (all above board!)... and iTunes is just frustrating the living daylights out of me!
    Show me the light...
    Thanks
    iPod Mini   Windows XP Pro   iTunes 6.0

    Edit > Preferences > Advanced > General has the location of the iTunes music folder. That is where ripped CDs will go.
    The My Documents\My Music\ folder is a special windows folder. If you want to move that, it might be easiest for you to use TweakUI, google for it.
    I don't know about the folder view.

  • Final Cut will not launch and desperate for a solution

    My Mac locked up when I tried to reboot and I had to press the on/off button to reboot it.
    When it rebooted, it would not mount the two G-Raid drives. When I took out the Firewire lead from the Sony tape deck, the G-Raid drives appeared on the desktop. If I plug the firwire lead back in, I cannot open the raid drives, but if I remove it, I can open them and see the contents.
    If I leave the firwire lead out, when I launch FCP it says it cannot find the firewire device. If I click continue, FCP just doesn't launch. If I plug the firewire lead in for the tape deck, then it still does not see it.
    I have tried doing the same thing with a different lead, and using the camera directly, but that gives me the same problem. It looks like a firewire connection problem, but I've tried two different firewire ports on the computer. It's a holiday weekend in the UK and I've got to get the job finished for Tuesday! Desperate to resolve this issue.

    Alan
    Have you tried the basic maintenance procedures?
    repairring permissions
    deleting preferences
    running disc utility applications; techtool or disc warrior
    ''My Mac locked up when I tried to reboot''
    why did you do a reboot in the first place - were you installing software?
    if so - try deleting the application to see if it has interfered with the system
    I have G Raids, they are on a separate firewire bus from my VT deck:
    G Raids are connected to a Firewire 800 card and the VT deck connected to the system Firewire port
    Many users report poor performance or drives unable to mount when connecting the VT and drives to the same bus

  • Hard Drive Crash and Desperate for Recovery Help

    Problem:  I have black and white JPEGS that need to be put back into color.
    We had a motor seize on a back up hard drive before getting the data backed up a second time.  I'm curious if there are any "backdoor" options for recovery.  Here is the scenario:
    3 months ago we finished editing a wedding and exported color and black & white photos for the client.  We moved the original RAW files off the laptop onto a back up external hard drive.   A few weeks later, that external hard drive, with ALL the original RAW images on it, crashed after our cat knocked it off our desk while the HD was running.  However, we have the final JPEGS saved on DVDs.  As fate would have it, the client came back later requesting several black and white photos to be given to them in color instead.
    After a thorough look from a computer expert it was concluded that the recovery would have to be done in a lab at a cost of $1800.  I gave a local shop our laptop to see if they could recover any "deleted" files and recapture the original RAW images.  Still looking through those but out of the RAW files that are there, most are unreadable or contain only part of the photos.  (Still haven't seen any of the clients photos we need anyway)
    Is there a way to get the eported black & white JPEGS back into color? 
    Maybe a backup file or saved catalogue combined with the JPEGS?
    Bottom line:  Is there a way to get around this problem at all without the original RAW images?

    3 months ago we finished editing a wedding and exported color and black & white photos for the client.  We moved the original RAW files off the laptop onto a back up external hard drive.
    Perhaps you are using the word backup to mean something different that I mean. To me, a backup means you have an original one on disk, and another copy on a different physical disk. It sounds as if you do not have this second copy. If you do, and I misunderstood, then please let me know.
    Is there a way to get the eported black & white JPEGS back into color?
    This is probably not possible. You could, if you were very good with photoshop, "colorize" thie images with a lot of effort, but there would be no way to guarantee that the colorized images are in any way close to the original color images, other than through tedious manual effort.
    Maybe a backup file or saved catalogue combined with the JPEGS?
    Saved catalogs do not contain the information about what was contained in the original RAW. If you have the Lightroom previews available as well, and these contain the color previews, there is a way to extract the previews, but depending on how you set your preferences, these may not be high-res previews.
    Is there a way to get around this problem at all without the original RAW images?
    I don't think there is an easy way to do it. Manual tedious colorizing of the photos, extracting previews, or paying $1800. I hope this prompts you to adopt a strategy of regularly backing up your photos and catalog file.

  • I'm New and Desperate For Help!

    Hi, I'm extremely new. First post, first time on these forums. I've got a problem that I need help with. I bought a Nano in July (of 2006) and the version is 1.1.1 At the same timem I bought that iHome alarm clock where you put the iPod in to charge it and play the music. Well, my iPod has been working great since July until now. I can't turn it off with the click wheel. I am trying to hold the Play/Pause button to turn it off, but it won't. I leave it on on the iHome a lot, but when I'm am playing it personally, and I want it off, it won't turn off. THe only way I can get it off is by going to the sleep menu and having it sleep itself off. My hold switch isn't on and I'm doing everything right. Can anyone help me please?

    I would try a reset.. PUSH AND HOLD the menu button and the middle button at the same time for 10 seconds. then try to turn it off after the reset

  • Unable to restore from Time Machine after an erase and reinstall - MacbookPro cannot access my old Time Machine backup volume. Desperate for help please?

    My MacbookPro would not move past the Apple logo and spinning wheel for a number of hours.  After trying the numerous suggestions to solve the issue I eventually opted to erase and reinstall feeling confident my Time Machine backups would come to the rescue.  After a successful erase and reinstall I tried to restore all my data from my TIme Capsule using Command-R during start up and by using the Migration Assistant.  Neither worked and I have received messages to the effect that the backup volumes on my Time Capsule cannot be access because I have entered a wrong password or because the backup volume is damaged.
    When I open my Time Capsule in Finder and click on my sparsebundle I get an eror message saying that the disk image could not be opened and that the resource is temporarily unavailable.
    Desperate for some help and comfort that many years of personal data have not been lost.

    Yes, you will still get the prompt.

    You can also try DFU Mode.
    DFU (Device Firmware Update) Mode is different than Recovery Mode.
    DFU Mode is a special mode where the device can still interface with iTunes, yet it does not load the iBoot bootloader.
    DFU Mode:
    Plug your device into your computer.
    Turn off the device.
    Hold the Power button for 3 seconds
    Hold the Home button without releasing the Power button for 10 seconds
    Release the Power Button but keep holding the Home button
    Keep holding the Home button until you are alerted by iTunes saying that it has detected a device in Recovery Mode
          NOTE: Make sure the device screen is blank and no logos are present. Be patient, it make take several trys.

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features(Later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (If this won't uninstall press on)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.

    Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    and paste into:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.
