This is a question for Someone with a UK 80gb video ipod, NOT A CLASSIC

Can someone please tell me if this works
Open itunes, connect pod
Select all in ipod (not itunes library , while connected)
Get info
Slide the vol slider all the way to 100
Wait a few moments for the magic to happen
Then is the output louder, like it makes it on my 60gb ipod
Not just full volume half way as some suggest, but LOUDER
plugging into a recording device and watching the meter go up more is proof that my ears are not lying
My 2nd and 5th gen ipods do this but it has no effect on a classic
I would say around 60gb of my music is barely audible (Ripped vinyls so they are not as loud as CDs)
which is why Im after a 80gb 5.5 gen but dont fancy wasting more money after the fiasco called a classic ipod
Many thanks

Why aren't they?
I've watched your previous threads on this subject with the same trepidation as Meg St. Clair, deggie, Jeff Bryan and Zevoneer (all of whom have a lot of knowledge and earn my respect for it), but I have hesitated to respond for obvious reasons. Until now.
You mention ripped vinyl being quieter than CDs. Perhaps you should get the level right on the ripped vinyl before importing it into iTunes. Then it would be (almost) the same as CDs.
I use Audacity to rip vinyl to .mp3 for importing to iTunes. Whatever programme you use (if it's any good) should have similar feature to the one I'm about to describe. Once recorded into Audacity and trimmed to length, select all (of the file) and click on Effect/Amplify . A dialogue box comes up which tells you how much amplification will be applied and the new peak amplitude (dB). You should not go above the 0dB mark, nor should you "allow clipping" because you will introduce distortion and/or "clip off" the loudest sounds which will sound dreadful. (I actually amplify to a new peak of -0.3dB, that's my safety margin.)
I mentioned before that the file would now be almost the same as a CD. A CD has a wider dynamic range than vinyl (the difference between the softest and loudest sounds) and many recent CDs also have far more bass than vinyl, which was limited in this respect due to the technology available at the time. Consequently, your ripped vinyl-to-mp3 will probably never be as "punchy" as CD, but at least there will be less difference if the dB level is similar. You could also boost the bass in Audacity - before amplifying - but be very cautious because it's a crude adjustment and if you over-do it, the result will be very tiring when you listen to the song more than once! I speak from experience!
If you use the "boost" feature in iTunes *and it actually does something", it will probably introduce distortion, especially if you simply "blanket boost" all your mp3s by the same amount. It's a very crude method of achieving very little. it should be used selectively and with caution.
By the way, I have a 5th gen late model UK iPod and a 160GB Classic! Whether or not it, or they both have a volume cap - live with it!

Question for someone with T410 and recent BIOS

I only have one T410 here so I cannot check another one. Is there a Bluetooth option in your BIOS (probably under security/I-O Port Access)? I have a machine here where I cannot see the bluetooth radio. (I tried 2 bluetooth cards and 2 cables. It is acting like it is disabled in the BIOS, but there is no setting there I can find. Thanks

I don't have Bluetooth on my T400 and there isn't any option in the BIOS for it, T410's BIOS could be different.

I recently signed on with iCloud. I find that the prompts interrupt my workflow and the costs of this feature for someone with 200 gigs of data is not competitive. I want to cancel the mail, contacts, email, etc. without Removing data from my Mac. How?

I recently signed on for iCloud service, but find that it interrupts my workflow too often (which I know I can reset), but will soon exceed my free storage space. I have 200 gigs of data on my local drive and frankly the cost and benefit of having ICloud access to all of it is not competitive. This particular iCloud offering is overpriced for me. I want to cancel all iCloud services but can't seem to find an easy way to do it without removing the data on my local drive, which would be disaster. Need the communities help. Thanks to all.

Tried this, but unfortunately there was no way to cancel it even when disconnected from the NET. I'm on WIFI which I turned off.
I keep getting a pop-up that says:
The same message comes up when you want to cancel or remove any of the other iCloud storage functions including Contacts and Emails. This is obviously a scary thought. Why would APPLE program in this type of message? I'm already at 50% of my FREE storage on iCloud after only 2 weeks. There is no way I'm going to be held hostage by this clearly unacceptable "pay or die" programming lapse when I get to 100%. I know APPLE loves making money. Who doesn't, but this makes no sense to this devoted "Since 1984" Apple fan.

'Genius' related question for anyone with over 1.2TB of music?

Anyone out there with a iTunes library with over 1.2TB of music?
Reason I ask, is that I've not been able to solve a problem in updating Genuis - I'm getting the error - 'Genius results can't be updated right now. There is not enough memory available ~ Please try again later.' or the 'unknown 4002 error'. The steps I've taken to try and correct sometime back can be found in https://discussions.apple.com/message/12584815#12584815 and also shown here in sequence below.
I keep thinking this will be fixed with the next version iTunes but so far with the latest, things still the same. So looking to see if anyone with a similar size library is having similar problems and it just a limitation of the program or it's something specific on my end that I can fix.
Appreciate...
Up to this weekend I've had not issues with Genius. Worked beautifully and updated last Sunday as I have been doing every week since Apple added Genius. Yesterday I added a few albums and went to update and now getting the error of 'Genius results can't be updated right now. There is not enough memory available ~ Please try again later.' Now my library is well over >200,000 songs and only added 6 albums this time. Music sits on a external 2TB drive ~100GB free and my MacBook Pro has over 60GB open. Running latest Mac OSX and latest iTunes. Nothing new installed or changed since last Genius update.
To the points raised in this thread.
1. I've been updated weekly with a Library with over 200K songs till now with no problem. Majority is what I've ripped from my albums & CDs.
2. Deleted the albums recently added since last successful update - same result.
3. Connected directly to the network bypassing router as suggested here - same result.
4. Reinstalled iTunes program - same result.
5. Repaired permissions - same result.
Problem remains. Welcome any additional thoughts.
Question for anyone with a music library
https://discussions.apple.com/message/12584815#12584815
Ok, tried all the suggestions here yet the problem remains.
In addition what I posted above -
1) Dumped the cookies in user/library/cookies folder
2) Deleted the apple cookies found under Safari Preferences "Show Cookies"
3) Repaired disk permissions
4) Deleted iTunes Library Genius.itdb file
5) Reinstalled iTunes (with the new 10.1 version)
6) Restarted computer
7) Rebuilt iTunes Library folder http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1451
8) Deleted all iTunes dead tracks
http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=removedeadsuper
9) Increased internet access speed
10) Removed all open "[" and '}' brackets from songs, albums & artists
10) Rebuilt my entire library from scratch!
Is there anyone out there with over 200K songs that can update their Genius? One thing I noted is the genuis.itdb file is just over 2GB. I'm wondering if there is a maximum size on this based on the error I'm getting. Any thought or know info on this?
Ok, think I may have found something here with this. I backed out all the music added prior to this problem occurring and ran the Genius update. All worked fine. I then started adding the music back little by little (running the update each time) until the problem returned. When the problem came back I ruled out the specific music added by backing that bit out, verified all was ok and added a different batch back in.
Bottom-line it appears that when my library exceeds exactly 1.208TB the problem appears. Interestingly enough it does not appear to be related to the number of songs, the size of the genius.itdb file (in fact when it was working the file was at 2.25GB - larger than what I reported before). It specifically seems to be related to the size of the overall library - when I have it for example at 1.2079 all is ok, 1.2081 it fails with this error.
I did try moving the library and related files to the external drive but same result. abavetta, I think your suggestion of this script may be a workaround for now - although from what I read, is this not the same that you can do anyway with iTunes by holding the alt/option key open start up? In fact I do have two libraries now - one with the 2TB drive which I use at home and another for 2x500GB disks I carry with me when i travel. I just reported the same back to Apple but doubt if any immediate solution will come for this. Too bad as one of the great things about having such a large library is the mixes you can generate via Genius. Anyway, such is life and will just live with this for now. I also just found this program called Tangerine! http://www.potionfactory.com/tangerine/ which creates playlists like Genius - although through a different technique I might also take a look at.

Just to let all know that may be having a similar problem, what I found by accident to fix this problem.
Reset all my Home Folder permissions using the resetpassword method from the startup utility in Lion. Then turned off/on to reset Genius and cleaned out the cache folder for good measure. Finally after more than a year without, have Genius up and running again.

[Oracle JDBC Driver]This driver is locked for use with embedded application

Hi
I installed Sun Java Studio Enterprise 8, and am trying to connect to my Oracle database using the attached tutorial code.
The code compiles fine, but I get the following error whenever I run the file: [Oracle JDBC Driver]This driver is locked for use with embedded application
I don't understand what is happening.
Using the Runtime navigation panel on the upper left of the IDE screen, I can right-click and connect to the database, and navigate database files, using the Oracle JDBC Driver that came with JSE8.
Name: Oracle Driver
Driver: com.sun.sql.jdbc.oracle.OracleDriver
Database URL: jdbc:sun:oracle://JAZZPUP:1521;SID=REPO
If the driver is installed, and can be used to connect to a database by right-clicking on the database definition in the Runtime panel, why can't I connect to it just using java code in the IDE. I would expect both methods to work or to fail, not one of each using the same IDE.
Many thanks and take care,
Shayne

http://swforum.sun.com/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=51057&messageID=188210
To summarize - the DataDirectDriver that is shipped with the IDE seems to be locked to be used inside the IDE only because of some licensing issues etc..
That's weird, I agree. I will raise a question on reasons for such a behavior.
The solution would be to use Oracle's own driver, that is distributed at no charge from their web site - http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/index.html

I keep getting "This content requires HDCP for playback" with my new Apple TV 3.

I keep getting "This content requires HDCP for playback" with my new Apple TV 3. I've returned one and got a new one. I've turned everything on and off. I've upgraded my bandwith. I've tried using different HDMI ports. Nothing is working.
Sometimes a movie will start to play for about 3-5 seconds and then freeze. My music plays fine as well as other videos that are not HD.
This has been going on for 3 weeks now and Apple Support and Genius Bar couldn't help.
Would appreciate any other solutions folks came up with.
Thanks.

Thanks. I'll try to get a new HDMI cable, but that ****** me off since I bought the one I had from Apple thinking I'd avoid any issues like this.
I've also never had a movie play and have also tried Reset.
Since the movie starts to play for a few seconds, I'm assuming it is not my TV.
Thanks!

This driver is locked for use with embedded applications - SQL Server

Hello guys,
Background:
I developed an application using JSC2 with MS SQL Server 2000 as the database and Sun Application Server PE 8 as App Server. During development, I am able to deploy and test it. But as soon as I've installed Sun Application Server PE 8 on our Production Server, exported my app there and tried to execute it, I get the error
"This driver is locked for use with embedded applications".
I just wanna ask, though I've seen other threads saying that the only solution is to buy the EE or SE of Sun App Server, isn't there really any work-around with this?
Thanks very much for your help.

OK, that is the same setup we have (Creator built application running with MS SQL Server).
I wrote a tutorial talking about integrating Creator with Spring. In it you will find out how to use SQL Server with a Creator built app running on the Platform Edition. That tutorial can be found here: http://swforum.sun.com/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=52657&tstart=15
In short, look to jTds.
Hope this helps.

JDBC Error: This driver is locked for use with embedded applications

Hi Experts,
My sender adapter is throwing the below error:
Error during database connection to the database URL 'jdbc:nwmss:sqlserver://<host>:<port>;databaseName=<dbname>' using the JDBC driver 'com.sap.nwmss.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver': 'java.sql.SQLException: [NWMss][SQLServer JDBC Driver]This driver is locked for use with embedded applications.'
What could be the problem? How can I resolve it?

download the latest version of SQL driver from MS site and re deploy it on PI

Question for those with memory issues on k8n neo plat

I have been having issues with my memory on the k8n neo platinum board since i built the system last month and i just recently discovered a fact I had overlooked.
I Have discovered that if i test the system while it is cool (having sat turned off overnight for example), then memtest will pass the ram just fine and the system will be stable for a short period of time, generally longer if no intensive applications are used, ie. doom3 vs. websurfing).
This system, once it heats up ( seems mostly to be the nvidia 3 nb that needs to be "hot"- that is, a probe placed in contact with the module reaches about 58+ degrees c) then the system becomes unstable and memtest, if used, fails.
Prime95, if used on it when its cool, will usually take about an hour or so to fail, but if its used on the system when its been running a bit ( temps from nb at 58c+ and memory module hot to the touch) then it fails after about 20-30 seconds.
I have placed an active hs on the nb in an attempt to correct this, but temps still remain high with failures occuring.
I have spent the better part of three days testing the sytem this way and the above facts have held true in all these tests.
I have tested at stock ratings ( not using "auto" in bios, but using "approved ratings" of 10 x 200 for fsb and timings of 2-3-3-7 for my ram at 1:1 (which is recommended as well) since i am testing for base stability at this point;Voltages have been left at auto settings, however.
I was wondering if anyone else with memory issues could try this out and post if this seems to be the case for you as well.
Perhaps the memory issues on these boards are directly related to a problem with the nvidia 3 chipset running too hot?
Does anyone have a memory issue with these boards who is using water cooling on the NB ?
Lack of issues from people using 'problem" memory, but having no failures with water cooled nb's would support my assumption.

Yes i did mean chipset.
I am using a stock hs/fan from amd, which seems to run a tad hot but, considering that I wont overclock until I can get board stable, its not an issue. (runs 35-40 idle and up to 72 intensive). I need the warranty more then the extra mhz at present.
I removed the stock heatsink from the nvidia chipset and bought a generic chipset cooler (green, very little in the way of fins and seems to be aluminum) with a small fan.
I used a generic silver paste from Compusa to adhere both the cpu hs and the chipset.
I didnt lap either hs, just installed each as per instructions on artic silvers website (figured it had to go on the same way even generic).
I also bought a kingwin thermal center which i ran probes from to the cpu, case, and nb chipset.
I am not using it to adjust fans so those arent connected - its just a reference temp I can see at a glance, esp considering the funky bios reading this boards been known to give.
I assume from these responces that even a nvidia 3 250 chipset shouldnt get as hot as mine?
I asked about that from the retailer i bought this from but he seemed to think it was "ok" at 50ish celcius, but then again he didnt look too confident when he said it, lol.
Idle right now reads on Corecenter at 28 celcius for cpu and 33 celcius for the chipset, although, I have readings of 37 c and 43 c from the kingwin thermal center, which i believe to be more accurate.
My voltage reads at 11.67 for the 12v line at idle right now.
The psu i got is stick from the xblade case i bought in store. (http://www.xoxide.com/xblade2.html)
I have a dvd burner, cd drive, and two maxtor ide hd's attached to the system;The only card is the agp.
Is there a way to check and see if the cpu ispower starved? software monitor or even an external probe perhaps?
I havent put a probe on it, but the ram came in its own heatspreader, which gets very hot to the touch as well.
What temps should I be looking for on these items?

When you get a new computer how do I put on my iTunes library - I do have it all backed up to the cloud. I am not a technical person so this is probably easy for someone but not me! Any help would be much appreciated

Can anyone explain what I need to do. I am buying a new computer, need to de-authorise my old computer and then put the library on a new windows computer. I have my library backed up to the cloud for which I pay extra. I am not at all technical so if anyone could give me idiot instructions I would much appreciate it. Finding the instructions from apple assume I know basic,s and that confuses me!

Is the iPad wireless connection safe for someone with a pacemaker?

A friend of mine wants to purchase an iPad, but is worried that the wireless connection might interfere with her heart pacemaker.
Normally, with other devices, she disables their wireless interface and uses a wired connection instead, to avoid the risk.
As I understand it, the iPad cannot be connected to the internet with a wire, only via a wireless link. Is that so?
If a wireless connection must be used, do you have any recommendations for users with pacemakers, please?
Many thanks.

I believe you can connect it to a mac via usb and use the internet through the usb cable. That would defeat the purpose of it being mobile though. Like the others said I would consult a doctor and see if the wifi signals will have any effect. If she uses a cell phone those put out way more power than a typical wifi connection. That is why wifi uses less battery power than 3G
No, actually you can't. The iPad is a mobile,device with no way to connect via USB other than to synch to iTunes.
As previously suggested, the OP should advise the friend to consult her physician or the pacemaker manufacturer. However, considering that encountering radio waves of the type used for wireless network connections is COMPLETELY unavoidable is the friend has any mobility at all, I have difficulty thinking it would be an issue or a needed precaution. A quick Google search indicates a pacemaker is NOT adversely affected by wireless networks.

Problem-Starting InDesign Server for use with CORBA / Java and IOR file not generated

I'm trying to start Indesign Server cs3 for use with Corba, as per the document the server should generate the start-up message like this..
InDesignServer -iorfile c:\ior.txt -pluginpath Server\Corba
[server] Writing IOR to ... and it should generate the IOR file
but I'm getting the usual start-up message and the IOR file is not generated, I hope IOR file is required for Java component interaction with IDS, kindly help me to solve this.
Thanks in advance.

[From Susan Doan, who is having trouble posting to the forum today}:
It looks like the example command line in the "Intro to InDesign Server" pdf is using curly quotes instead of straight quotes. If you copy the command from the pdf and paste it in your command shell, it won't work because of the curly quotes.
You can run the command without the quotes as Rich has said, but, as will all command lines, if your path contains a space, you will need to put quotes (straight ones!) around the path.
Thanks,
Ole
