Trash issue/question

I'm afraid to empty my iPhoto's trash because there could be one or two pics in there that I actually want.
I thought I could just make a new album, move all the pics that are in the trash into the new folder, then trash the ones I know I don't need, and sort thru the rest, tossing them and emptying the trash as I went along. But you can't move items out of the trash except back to wherever they originally were.
My next thought was to create a keyword and tag all the pics in the trash with that keyword. Then I could put all the pics back but still find them. That didn't work either. You can't tag pics that are in the trash.
Does anyone have a solution?

They are items I've trashed over a long period of time. They go back into a ton of different folders, so there's no way to tell, once they're put back, which ones I want to keep and which ones I really do want to throw away.
But I figured it out!
Since I couldn't tag the ones in the trash, I tagged the rest! I clicked on the photos tab, selected all my pictures and tagged them with the tag 'keep'. Then I created a smart album with the rule that it should contain every pic that is not tagged with the tag 'keep'. Then I restored everything from the trash. Now my trash is empty and I know exactly which pic were in there, so I can go through the smart album and figire out which ones I really do want ot trash, move them to the trash and empty it right away.

WiSM Design and Testing Issues / Questions / Queries etc......

Hi all. Heres hoping you can help........
I hope you can grasp the following description of the test network I have. I admit a diagram would have been better but it's hard to send a whiteboard over the web : )
I am currently in the process of designing and testing out a wireless solution and am having a few issues / queries. I have a 6509 with a Wireless Services Module (WiSM) installed in slot 3, one Cisco 1240 AP on a remote LAN and a DHCP server on a remote LAN (not the same as the AP)
I am using LAG on controller 1 with port channel 1 and native VLAN 20.
VLAN 20 is 10.1.1.0 / 24
The management interface has IP address of 10.1.1.10
The AP-manager interface has IP address of 10.1.1.11
VLAN 11 is 128.88.1.0 / 24
The service port has IP address of 128.88.1.10
The Cisco 1240 AP on the remote LAN is picking up a IP address via DHCP (from a remote DHCP server) OK and can route to both the aforementioned VLANs 20 and 11.
Issue/Question 1
I can ping the management interface locally on the 6509 and also remotely from the AP so all looks OK there however I cannot ping the AP-manager locally or remotely.
Is this expected behaviour? I would expect that if I can ping one I should be able to ping the other or is the AP-manager interface not routed and only used in some way to create the LWAPP tunnel>
Issue/Question 2
As previously stated the AP is picking up and IP address but it is not being passed the Option 43 parameter from the DHCP server (not yet ruled out the DHCP server as the cause of this). Due to this I have amended the DNS entry of the management interface (10.1.1.10) to CISCO-LWAPP-CONTROLLER as a last resort. With a console on the AP I can see that the AP tries to join by the "%LWAPP-5-CHANGED: LWAPP changed state to JOIN" output but then get;
LWAPP_CLIENT_ERROR_DEBUG: spamHandleJoinTimer: Did not recieve the Join response
LWAPP_CLIENT_ERROR_DEBUG: No more AP manager IP addresses remain.
Is this related to the fact that I cannot see the AP-Manager interface on the network?
Issue/Question 3
I have chosen to hard code the IP address of the Service port rather than leave it to DHCP. I am more comfortable having static addresses for management. However, there is no option for a default gateway for the service port.... If I try to get round this by applying a static route via the CLI on the WiSM controller to point traffic out via 128.88.1.1 on VLAN 11 this seemingly overrides all routing on the controller and causes my management interface (10.1.1.10) to fall off the network. Is the routing table applied "en masse" to the Controller? If so this surely means that to use the Service Port you have to be on the local LAN segement?!?!
Thanks for reading my ramble and heres hoping you can shed some light on my "niggles" !

Hi
I am having exactly the same problem.
Getting the same error message "No more AP manager IP addresses remain."
I'm deploying 200 AP's that will connect to 2x WiSM (4 controllers) in 2 seperate C6k Chassis
(Controller 1a & 1b = wism 1, 2a & 2b = wism 2)
I have had 1 out of the first 5 AP's physically connected, come online and register with Controller 2b (btw: this was not the master controller, it should not have registed with 2b). All others fail with the same error message as above.
I have all Management and AP-Manager interfaces in the same vlan/subnet as my AP's.
I place a console cable onto the failed APs and see the AP cycle though the motions of trying to find the controllers, download new software code from a random controller, then it reboots, gets DHCP assigned, then get the "No more AP manager ip addresses remain" and then issues a "Reload requested by LWAPP CLIENT.
Then the AP does the whole cycle all over again.
Not sure why the AP's don't register with the controllers when they are all in the same vlan.
I have a couple of extra questions.
1. what address do you bind to the dns entry cisco-lwapp-controller.localdomain, is it the management address or AP-Manager address ?
I have bound it to the Management address for WiSM 1a.
Also I have 4x controllers (2x WiSMs, 2 controllers per WiSM). Do I just bind controller 1a's address or do I have to put 4x DNS entries into my DNS server for all my controllers?
2. DHCP option 43, Do I place all 4x management ip addresses in the option or do I put in the AP-Manager Ip address?
I followed this guide but was still a little unsure http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/wireless/ps430/prod_technical_reference09186a00804fc3dc.html#wp125304
2. This final question is more around Dynamic Interfaces for my 4 controllers once I get the AP's resisted,
Do I have to set up a dynamic interface ip address on every controller?
e.g.
Ssid = data, VLAN=10, VLAN10=10.0.0.0/24, I will bind AP's 1-8 to VLan group 10.
Do I have to setup 1 dynamic interfaces per controller in the 10.0.0.0 subnet, taking up 4 addresses ?
And if I only have to set up 1 or 2 dynamic interface, how does this work if the controller fails?
Cheers

Jabber for Windows - Outlook Meeting integration issue/questions

Hi,
A couple of questions if anyone else has experienced or can answer:
1. When you turn on Jabber it appears in the trace file to create a transitionlist of meetings in your calendar for the next four hours. Eg if meeting 8-9 it will show 8:00 BUSY
9:00 FREE
and this works ok. This transitionlist also seems to update each time a status change occurs from what I have observed.
The problem we seem to have is if I open Jabber at 7.45am and have a meeting 8 - 9 then it shows "In a meeting", then if I create a meeting at 9.15am for 10am-10.30am, the meeting status does not change as it seems to operate of the four hour transitionlist. I have the setting in the CUPS server for exchange sync to happen every twenty minutes, but this does not seem to update.
I'm be focussing on the wrong area but basically not all calendar appt's update status in Jabber, especially the one's created within the four hour pperiod.
2. To have the presence status of a person in an Outlook email address field, do you need 2010 or does it work with prior versions, we currently operate 2003. I have configured the SIP component in AD, but no status or click to call facility from Outlook.
Thanks in advance
Mal

Hi Mal,
Thanks for your post. Issue (1) sounds like a configuration issue in your setup. Please open a TAC case for further assistance.
Regarding (2), Jabber for windows does noot support Office 2003. List of supported MS Office applications is listed in Jabber for Windows administration guide.

MacBook Pro 13" Screen Issue Question

Hey guys
I have this strange area on my MacBook Pro screen that is noticalby brighter than the rest of the screen. I've tried using the screen capture function, but the patch doesn't show up on that images generated. Here's a photo i took with my iPhone
xtjied.jpg
It's the area near the centre of the photo where the issue is present. It is easier to see on the photo if you move away from the screen, so you're further away, then it stands out more. However i can see it clearly when using the MBP on my lap or on a table.
My MacBook is still in warranty, so my questions are:
A) Should i take my machine to the Apple Store to show them the issue?
B) What are they store likely to do, will they replace the screen, replace the machine or simply turn me away and tell me the issue doesn't warrant action?
Even though it might seem like a small issue, once i see it whilst working my vision is drawn to it, so i lose focus on the rest of my screen.
Thanks in advnace
Tom

Thanks for you response, I just want to check you're seeing the same error i am, i know the photo looks like there's a large area with a different brightness, but that's just because of the way I was positioned when taking the photo.
Here's a better photo to illustrate the issue i'm having
http://i.imgur.com/mDogr.jpg
It's the small area just off centre that is a different colour to the rest of the image.
http://i.imgur.com/UF8c9.jpg
it kind of looks like a thumb print, but it's not
Would you still expect them to replace/repair my machine?
Thanks again

Several issues questions with 865PE neo2 FIS2R

ok first off thanks to the people here, the sticky's are great and very informative.
although i do find the info outdated in that they all refer to old bios's. other than that this is a fantastic forum
ok so on with the questions.
im using a Silicon Image IDE U133 RAID controller (PCI CARD), , the ide hard drive(s) do NOT have to be in raid its just like a Promise card but its made by someone else.
ANYTIME i have ANY type of hard drive hooked up to that, the motherboard takes nearly 5 minutes to boot to the active hard drive. even if i select boot menu and then the RAID hard drives the SATA drives i mean.
my active hard drives are 2 Maxtor 160gig SATA drives in RAID0 mode.
if i have NO hard drives hooked to the controller card the system boots directly to the active boot hard drive. without dealy.
IF i have an ide hard drive set to boot off the SIL card, it takes just as long. which seems like ages.
anyone know of issues with this mobo and certain IDE hard drive controllers. (PCI)
i too am having blank sreen issues with my 9700 pro video card. but mine is nearly 2 out of 5 times i boot i have no video, and many times i am forced to reach around the pc case and unplug the power cord for a few minutes, in order to get the system to boot WITH video.
another issue that i have and this is the WORST.
nearly 90% of the time, the motherboard will NOT i repeat will NOT boot from a floppy or cdrom, all i get is the message on screen, if i am using a bootable floppy, like "Starting windows 98" or "Starting Windows ME" these are DOS boot disks made with windows XP.
i then get only a blinking curser. and nothing else.
OR
i get a blinking cursor and then i must wait 5-10 minutes before anything else happens. and even then usually the cdrom or floppy wont complete the booting process.
this happens regardless of if i have anything hooked to that IDE controller card.
i am now using the LATEST bios offered for this mobo and nothing has changed in fact ,,well according to the readme i was expecting to see some changes within the bios but i seee none. maybe i read the read me wrong. (say that 5 times fast)
i can NOT run the ram performance mode in anything other than slow. which is making me very angry.
i have infineon ram not sure what model but i will report back when i find out.
but i do recall sandra reporting it as supporting 2.5cas and other setting that appear to be FAST or TURBO and yet i cant use those in the bios otherwise my system reboots in windows or i get memory speed errors during post.
overall im VERY pleased with this mobo but am discouraged at the way its treating me.
i have a PentIV 3.0ghz HT which is a NON production model, it is a sample model with the multiplyer unlocked. i can go with a lower multiplyer but NOT a higher one, so i assume its unlocked but the CPU itself is limited to 15x multiplyer.
i have tried tons of configurations and can run very stable at 3.45ghz but i MUST make the dram 333 mhz not 400. then raise the FSB to around 225 or 230. but i still get serious power offs when doing any heavy work on the pc.
i have CPU voltages at 1.575 yet sandra reports it as 1.55
DRAM voltage at 2.7 ( i am using DDR400)
and AGP at 1.7
with this CPU what is a GOOD voltage to use.
is it ok to go higher than 2.7 with DDR400 ?
and AGP everything i have read said that 1.8v will fry the 9700 pro. is this true ?
sorry im asking alot of questions but if you can help me with any of them i would REALLY appreciate it, and i would pass along any info i learn.!

Well as Far as your PCI IDE Controller Questions are concerned, I would not know as I have never Used one , And with the Available Promise controller, you should Try using this instead......As Far as your Memory Voltage, You can Raise the Voltage above 2.7 Volts, But unless you are Really Overclocking the PBS or FSB as some call it, then 2.7 Volts is the "Norm" For this Board, But if you do NOT have High Performance RAM you should check with the Manufacturer, before you Go any Higher than 2.7 V, as far as the AGP Voltage is concerned, 1.6 Volts is the MAX that you should Have it set to with any of the new NVIDIA-FX or ATI-PRO, or XT Series Cards, Because as you know, the Cards that are 8X AGP Speed only Require .8Volts to begin with, and the ABP Voltage is Further Reduced by the Cards onboard Electronics, And if you have one of the High Performance Cards, well as you know, these get 90% of their Operating Power from the 4 Pin Molex PSU Connector. Any higher AGP Voltage then 1.6 Volts will only increase the Temps. of Both the Motherboards Chipset, and the VPU itself.................Sean REILLY875

Illustrator issues questions--I need help

Illustrator CS4, MAC OSX 10.5.8...
After struggling off and on for a few months with Illustrator, I'd like to be able to confirm a few things, so I know I'm not insane.
1. Canvas/Pasteboard. Is there not an easy way to change that a bit so I can see more difference between the artboard and background? I found a workaround using transparency grid color and then putting a white picture block on the artboard (on a locked layer underneath). This is at least acceptable for various things. Is there some setting I'm missing? Mostly I'd just like to change the color of the canvas so it stands out more.(And I'd rather have my own choice than whatever the preset tends to be because these blaring white/light screens are killer on the eyes...)
1a. How do I save a "blank" version of the canvas set up I made so my "colorized" canvas comes up in new documents? Is there a way to set a default document?
1b. Is there a way to make the canvas a bit smaller?
2. Scrolling. When I select an object and want to move it up the page/artboard, AI doesn't seem to scroll to the area I'm trying to get to. Is there a setting I'm missing or accidentally checked/unchecked? I have to go to the scrollbar and click that and move the item screen-by-screen up the page (alternatively, zoom out, etc.)
2a. I noticed earlier today when trying to sort out text issues (point text, specifically) when I rotated a box... as soon as my cursor hit the edge of the document, the window view practically scrolled out of the universe! Why would it scroll to an out-of-view place in this instance and not scroll when I'm trying to drag an item to an out-of-view place in the document?
3. I have tons of legacy Freehand 7 files. A decade's worth (not to mention apps prior to that for another decade). Every piece of text comes in as a "text area" box (ordinarily not a problem). But not a one of them shows all the text. I understand this is an issue with legacy files of all types (saving out old FH7 files as an older version of AI yields the same results.)
Pages are cluttered with red + everywhere. Never mind the time sink, does AI have any way to "snap to" regarding a text area box to the text? How do you get multiple text boxes/objects to line up and be the same size? I'm not seeing H x W spec boxes to enter numerics in for text area boxes (as a start). Do I need to use grids or guides for this?
4. Whatever tool I'm using persists and doesn't change to a regular arrow when I go to click a scrollbar. Program glitch?
5. How do I set a default font? Or a default doc to open with the desired font preset in it?
6. When saving out a graphic to be used in another app, is there no "save selection as.."? Or do I need to open a new doc, paste and save from there for each thing? (My master documents for some frequently used items tend to have many items)
I know these are really newbie questions, but what used to be 5 minute tweaks in the past (in Freehand) now turn into all-day ordeals trying to figure out what I consider to be just the basics. So I'm not really learning about all the features and aspects of AI at this point.
Can anyone confirm some of the stuff above or point out what I've missed?
Thanks

Hello Scott:
Thanks for reassuring me I'm only partly insane
Thanks also for the tip on setting up a default document. I'll pursue that tomorrow when I'm a little less bleary....
Scrolling-- I have a group (or object selected) and I'm just dragging it along, but it doesn't go farther than the edge of the doc.
I'm a whiz with a trackball, but useless with a scroll wheel.
Ugh on the no default font thing.
Magnifier glass icon on the scrollbar... well, it's disorienting but I'll live.
I see the "save as" and "save a copy"-- but I don't see a "save SELECTION"? Where is that?
Hmmm, yeah, I have some words but I don't think "turd" was one of them lol. Too mild for this 16-hour day.
Admittedly, I've been more than a little shocked with AI.

Two issues, Question mark and Chinese

Issue #1 - When I go to a URL such as the Apple.com location, OT files such as the iPhone (drool) currently featured don't appear. Instead I get a semi transparent QT logo with a Question mark superimposed over it. Same goes for QT files that are emailed to me as attachements.
Issue #2 - When I click on the QT icon on my dock I get a small window that pops up titled "Welcome to Quick Time" and if clicked linking me to a QT promo which, consistent with issue #1 will not load. Quick Time opens but other than the name of the application in bold, all other words are in what I assume is Chinese.
These two issues seem to have cropped up simultaneously, though I can't say for sure. How do I reset the language that QT is displayed in? Particularly when I can't read any menu/toolbar items in QT?
Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your assitance Jon, unfortunately I'm no closer to resolving this. The QT and VLC are both in the Applications folder, should this not be the case?Was not referring to applications here but the browser plug-ins in the "~root > Library > Internet Plug-Ins" folder. If there is a browser plug-in conflict, this is where you would start to look for it.
As for the language issue, I checked International and found Chinese to be second under English in the list. I moved Spanish up to second to see the result and QT is now in Spanish. I moved Spanish to first position and English to second and all of my Apps etc were in Spanish including QT! I put English back on top and all are just that except QT which is still in Spanish. So evidently QT has developed a distaste for English?This seems to confirm that your problem is connected to the language list -- or rather how QT has indexed and is accessing the list. It is obviously off by one index and if QT is the only application affected, would assume it most likely the application is corrupted. Unfortunately, as embedded as it is in the current system, the best solution might be to reinstall the OS. On the other hand, if you can wait for the next upgrade, I was wondering you could get temporary relief by simply placing "English US" at the top of the list and use "English" as the second entry. At least you could read the menus.
One other question....I was planning on upgrading to Quick Time Pro, will downloading this fix my problem?No, QT Pro merely unlocks editing/saving/exporting features.
Can I delete QT and then start over with a download of QT Pro?QT Pro is not a separate application. With previous versions of QT, I might recommend removal and re-installation of QT. But with the current "tight" integrations of QT/OS I personally would worry about creating more problems than I would solve.

Table of Contents Issue/Question

Hi everyone, I hope I can put my question accurately into words.
I'm working on a 450 page product catalog in Indesign CS5 for the mac. The catalog has 7 main sections, in which there are numerous smaller sections. I need to create a table of contents for these smaller sections, however, my issue is this; my table of contents is based on the product names which I've applied a paragraph style to, but, also included on the same line that the product name is, are several small icons. I used the library function to put these icons into place. I put my curser where I wanted the icons to be, went to the library, right clicked on the icon I wanted, and selected place item. I found this to be the easiest way since there were approximately 1500 products in the catalog. So, my issue is, now that I'm creating a mini-table of contents for these numerous sections, the icons are included in my table of contents, which I don't want. I can manually go in and delete each icon, but I'm thinking there has to be a faster way. I thought of possibly a grep style but can't figure out how to make that work.
Any help would be appreciated! It's going to take a while to delete each one of those. I hope I've described this accurately; please feel free to ask any questions if it's not clear.
Thanks so much!
Annette

Oh my gosh, that did it! Thank you sooooo much!
I couldn't figure out how to choose just those characters because I hadn't designated them as anchored objects; that was throwing me, but I guess Indesign saw them as such.
Thanks again, you've saved me hours of work!
Sincerely,
Annette

A7666IMS.148 bios issues/questions

(1) Has anyone experienced an issue with the rear panel e-sata connections not working after the 1.4 bios update? The "front panel" connection still works, but not those on the rear panel.
(2) Why does the English language site only show bios versions 1.2 and 1.3 for download? I had to get my 1.4 from a German language site if my memory serves me. And isn't this the bios being used in the overclocking competition?
(3) If 1.4 is STILL in beta, any idea what is taking so long to make it official (maybe this e-sata problem, as well as other problems)? Perhaps this board got lost in the shuffling in of all of MSI's newer boards? I expected more frequent bios revisions (i.e., better support) than what I've seen so far.
(4) Sometimes, when I was using 1.3, my computer would freeze and throw an "02" code...which isn't in the manual (this was my reason for trying 1.4). Any ideas?
Thanks.

(1) Has anyone experienced an issue with the rear panel e-sata connections not working after the 1.4 bios update? The "front panel" connection still works, but not those on the rear panel.
The board itself does not have a "front panel". Your case has that and the eSATA-Connector of the case feeds to one of the internal SATA Ports of the board. Can you check which one it is connected to? I am asking because there are actually three different SATA Controllers on the mainboard:
- Intel ICH10R --> controlling the 6 SATA Ports that are angled to the back
- Marvell® 88SE9128 --> controlling the 2 SATA-III ports
- JMicron JMB362 --> controlling the "native" eSATA Port at the back panel
Basically that means that whatever internal SATA Port your front panel eSATA-Port of the case is connected to, it would be hooked up to a different controller than the native eSATA Port on the back panel. Regarding the back panel port: Make sure that the JMicron Controller is enabled in BIOS Setup and also make sure that it is set to operate in AHCI Mode.

(2) Why does the English language site only show bios versions 1.2 and 1.3 for download? I had to get my 1.4 from a German language site if my memory serves me.
This is where you are on the wrong track already:
Firstly, no MSI Product site (regardless) will offer BETA Releases for download. That is why the only thing you find on the product sites for any board are Final Releases.
Secondly, you are probably talking about the German MSI Forum when you say "German language site". Well, that is a user forum and yes, it has an ongoing thread to offer BETA Releases for download. The German MSI Forum is a user-to-user forum, just as this forum here. And in case you haven't noticed, this is a user-to-user forum as well, not MSI Technical Support. AND(!) we have a BETA BIOS Thread for the MS-7666 board here as well, which can be found here: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=140522.0
Thirdly, BETA BIOS Releases can always be obtained by contacting MSI Technical Support directly: http://support.msi.com/
Quote
I had to get my 1.4 from a German language site if my memory serves me.
You are being somewhat imprecise when it comes to pointing to your actual BIOS Version. An "1.4" Final release does not exist yet. You are then talking about vA7666IMS.148 [=v1.4b8] in your thread title and then about v1.4b10 in your signature. So, which one are you referring to?
Quote
(3) If 1.4 is STILL in beta, any idea what is taking so long to make it official (maybe this e-sata problem, as well as other problems)?
Again, there is no 1.4 version yet. There have been eleven (11) BETA Releases of the v1.4bxx-series so far. There is no time plan for releasing final versions. Nobody (not even MSI) will be able to answer the question when a final version will be released.
Also, at this point, it does not seem that it is definate that the eSATA problem you mentioned is even BIOS Version related. Not only are you the only user that seems to have an issue with the back panel eSATA Port, but it is also possible that you forgot to enable something in BIOS Setup, or perhaps there some sort of defect with the port itself which cannot be fixed on the BIOS Level.
Quote
as well as other problems
What other (definately BIOS related) problems are there that need to be fixed? Do you have any? Can you name them?
Quote
I expected more frequent bios revisions (i.e., better support) than what I've seen so far.
Again, there have already been 11 BETA Releases since the v1.3 final release. These BETA Releases address numerous problems. If you have any specific BIOS related problems that have not been addressed so far, then you need to contact MSI Technical Support and report the problem that needs fixing. MSI Technical Support does not have a crystal ball. Stop expecting and do communicate: ---> http://support.msi.com/

(4) Sometimes, when I was using 1.3, my computer would freeze and throw an "02" code...which isn't in the manual (this was my reason for trying 1.4). Any ideas?
Again, there is no v1.4 version yet. Be more specific about which version you are actually using. The main question is if you are still having this issue with v1.4b"whatever" or not.

ATV2 issues / questions

The concept of ATV is a great one. But the execution is not there.
The issues I am facing is major load times for movies. Once they load it will play but then stop to load again. My setup is simple. Content on a TC. Fast internet connection, not that it matters as I am not renting anything, but youtube is quick.
A few questions:
- anyone hard wiring their ATV2 to the external hard drive holding the content and does that help speed this up?
- is the absolute dependency on speed via itunes only?
- any fixes that might have helped that you could share?
- what size or specs is best for ATV2? Some of my content is set to 1024 x 720 and in some cases are roughly 3GB.
Truthfully, it is difficult to watch a movie with it stopping constantly or taking forever to load.
Thanks!

anyone hard wiring their ATV2 to the external hard drive holding the content and does that help speed this up?
I suspect that iTunes acts as the content "sever" here, so it probably doesn't make any difference where the source hard drive is physically located as long as the location does not hamper the connection speed.
is the absolute dependency on speed via itunes only?
No. The reliability of the connection, stability of connection speed, and the relative difference between the average data rate of the content and the average data rate of the connection all are important. For instance, you comment ("The issues I am facing is major load times for movies. Once they load it will play but then stop to load again.") implies your average transmission data rate is less than the playback data rate of your content. Since you do not indicate the typical data rates involved, it is difficult to guess whether your connection speed is slow or the average data rate of your content is excessively high. What does seem to be apparent is that playback is faster than your connection can support and the TV2 unit must frequently stop to re-cache additional data.
any fixes that might have helped that you could share?
You can start by turning off any open applications and/or timed activities like Time Machine. I would also recommend checking to see how many 24/7 processes you have running on your system. If content data rates are excessively high/too many devices are active simultaneously, try reducing them. (I.e. limit the data rate or try PAR encoding your files and/or reduce the number of devices simultaneously active.)
what size or specs is best for ATV2? Some of my content is set to 1024 x 720 and in some cases are roughly 3GB.
Your theoretical limit is Main Profile, Level-3.1 for H.264/AAC/AC3 files which would be your most efficient export format in terms of data rates/file size. However, since I still have an TV1 device active on my network, I use its limitations and am satisfied with the display on 26" to 42" HDTV displays and have no problems serving data simultaneously to a combination of wired and wireless devices including an iPad and/or iPhone (with Live Down conversion) via the Air Video server app which accesses the same iTunes library.
As to your 3 GB file size, it would have helped to know the duration of the file so as to compute the average data rate. Basically, look over your average data rates. If they are in a normal range and you are nor over-sataurating the system with applications, processes, and/or devices, then you would likely need to look into your network connection specifics.

Multiple Boot Camp Issues & Questions

Hello,
I installed windows xp on my late 2008 macbook a couple months back. My Mac has 4gb RAM and 250gb HDD. I allotted 80gb to Windows XP, as I use it to run 3D Studio Max as well as Adobe CS4. Ever since the Mac side has been running sluggish (not horrible, just not like before) It's restarts are much longer for example, and it seems the fan is working harder, regardless of it being in Mac OS X or Windows XP.
Now, I know its not the Windows partion size, because i originally had a 32gb partition and it just wasnt big enough, but it actually ran slower then. All I'm wondering is:
-could there be something wrong with my fan?
I downloaded Fan control and on average the left fan says 1600rpm and the right fan says - 1prm(why is hte right so low?)
-is there anything i can do to optimize my mac to perform at its best?
-will bootcamp 3.0 (coming with snow leopard) be able to run 64bit windows vista/7?
Sorry for the long post, but if anybody could answer some or all of my questions, it'd be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Austin

Once you have Windows installed and in use, it behaves no differently than Windows on a PC. In addition, you may run into issues related to Apple-specific hardware.

Save and Export Data format issue/question

Hi all, I'm hoping someone can help me with what is probably a super-simple question. I have a group of people that will use some forms. They will all have Acrobat Pro so they can save and update the data in the forms.
Here's my issue. I've tried binding both a sample XML as well as an XSD with the same results.
1.) If I save the interactive PDF containing the data connection, users can type the information in the form, but fields that are "info only" and not bound to a particular node go away. The file does generate the correct XML.
2.) If I delete the data connection (but keep the bindings), all the data stays in the form, but now my XML tags are intermixed with my fields and subforms and the xml looks pretty useless.
So, here's my question, given that users will use Acro Pro 7, how can I ensure that all data stays in the form on save and writes out xml ignoring fields that are not bound to any nodes in the xml.
Thanks for your help!

11.5.10 to r12.1 upgrade, TCA issues/questions

This is a fairly "advanced" r12 TCA question for the experts:
We are upgrading from EBS 11.5.10 to r12.
We also have a separate instance of EBS 11.5.10 in which we use "Oracle Customers Online" for our "CDH" (Customer Data Hub) that sends (spokes) party data to multiple subscribing systems. We are going to absorb this CDH instance into the upgraded r12 environment.
The r12 TCA upgrade takes all suppliers and creates NEW TCA structures for them (parties, sites, contacts, etc). Many of the suppliers overlap our customer parties in the real world (suppliers who are also customers). Additionally, these suppliers/customers have also been spoked to many other systems with the supplier segment1 + vendor_site_codes (same as our customer party_number/party_site_numbers).
1. We thought of merging the customers into the suppliers and then editing party_number/party_site_number to be the same as the original segment1 / vendor site_code, but ran into the following issues, of which the first below is most important:
-- r12 Upgrade makes ALL suppliers (regardless of vendor_type_lookup_code) into Party_Type 'ORGANIZATION', which cannot be merged with Customer Party_Type 'PERSON' parties....
-- Party site merges will not work if we don't have the EB Tax Geography MASTER_REF country/state/county/city/postal_code's defined for the hz_locations.
The party type issue above is important for existing data but also for new suppliers. PERSONs will never be able to merged in the future, between Suppliers and Customers in either direction.
For the sake of getting all these parties de-duped into single parties, I changed some of the supplier ORGANIZATION party_types to PERSON (and hence I also created an hz_person_profiles record using TCA api's). But after doing this, when we update the supplier through iSupplier Portal, it updates the underlying party_type back to ORGANIZATION. If I were to make this change, then merge PERSON customers into these Suppliers, and then a user updates the supplier data, then the whole party will get updated from PERSON to ORGANIZATION, which I think would be bad for our customer processing (and other modules in other spoke systems subscribing to party create/update events).
Also, if we are forced to leave suppliers separate from customers in case of PERSON entities, then I will especially have trouble trying to send a complete party definition to subscribing systems, since there are 2 parties instead of where there should be 1.
Any ideas about how to overcome this issue with r12 Suppliers integration with TCA ?
Thanks in advance!

Hello
We are about to undertake a similar upgrade - can you let me know how you overcame this issue please?
Thanks

Start Up Issue - Question mark folder flashes, then computer boots.

This is more of an annoyance than anything as the issue has not stopped my computer from booting. I haven't been able to find anything about this in support forums or online.
When I boot my macbook, the question mark folder thing flashes once, and then the apple logo comes up and the computer boots OK. However, it does take a few extra seconds to boot with this whole folder issue, anyone know what would cause that? I was thinking wrong start up volume but since it boots and thats the only volume (I checked and it's correct) I'm stumped. Any ideas would help.

Hello Ben.
Try deselecting and reselecting the startup volume and then restart.
