What's next?

Good morning all,
So about a year ago I decided to start putting some pieces in place to build a great high end system which will be used for graphics and video, music production and day to day office task.  I use almost everything in the CS6 Master Suite.  I went out and started bulding from the ground up and ended up with the following system:
os: win 7 / 64bit
abobe: CS6 Master Suite
case: Cooler Master Cosmos II
psu: Antec Quattro 1200 watts
mobo: Asus Z9PE-D8 WS
cpu: Dual Xeon E5-2670 (8 cores/2.60Ghz)
ram: 64 total (32 per cpu)
gpus: Quadro 4000 + Tesla C2075
primary hdd: Samsung 830 SSD - 500GB (using this to run OS (win 7) and all apps)
file storage hdd:  Two WD 3TB Sata in a mirror raid (using to save all project files) <-  this gets used a lot.
stock storage hdd: Two WD 1.5TB Sata in strip raid (using to store stock files) <-  this is only for storage and rarely used.
cache hdd: An older WD Raptor (10K) 75GB drive (pointing all my adobe caching to this drive)
I am wondering if I made the wrong decisions anywhere with these components.  I did see an instant increase from my previous i7 (gen 1) setup but I am not as impressed with my AE results.  Note that I am more a beginner with AE so I dont have much to compare to with past experiences but from my research and videos of NVidia I would think that my system could perform well.  My scrubbing is bad, my render times are very bad.  Maybe there are things I am not doing to enhance the render time.
I do plan on getting a smaller Samsung SSD to replace my Raptor for caching.  Is this where my performace is falling short?
And in regards to my subject title...if you were me and this is your setup..."What's next"?
thanks in advance,
Ren

An SSD hard drive will help for many parts of AE functionality, the graphics card doesn't matter at all (well, HARDLY at all, unless you're using the ray traced 3d renderer, in which case it does matter).
I have been reading that a dedicated SSD for caching..is that what you are referring to or should I have a SSD for only the program to reside on?  Also with the caching other Adobe products have location settings to...should they all reside on this "dedicated" SSD of should it be left for only AE?
What, specifically are you doing in After Effects? How is it performing? How are you expecting it to perform? Specifics would be very helpful here.
sorry.,,i am new to AE and have been using it for about 6-8 months so my terminolgy will not be of standard.  I did an 8 second animation (which is a few layers, some vectors, some emmiter and particles..trapcodes).  My preview and pre-renders are at 1/4 resolution.  My final render is a full 1920x1280 avi.  This render look about 1.5 hours.  I would have expected the render to be quicker.  Also when closing and re-opening AE i thought the saved pre-render would load up so the srubbing or playback would be almost re-time.
Also, why in Heaven's name do you have a Tesla card? Are you using software other than the Creative Suite?
yes at the moment using for Blender...but also thought the "maximus" configuration would beef up AE...or at least according to NVidia's great videos.. (http://www.nvidia.com/object/maximus-media-entertainment.html)

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    iTunes and iCloud and different accounts, you will need to delete both accounts from your device before adding the new details in their place.
    For iCloud go to settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit the delete button. You can then sign back in using your correct details. For iTunes go to settings >store, tap your account ID and then sign out, you can then sign back in using your correct Apple ID.

    It sounds to me like you either got defective parts or otherwise did not make the repair correctly. We cannot help  with self-repairs here, the iPhone officially not user servicable, but you can ask for advice in the forums on ifixit.com, a site which is dedicated to those attempting their own repairs.

    My ipod touch thinks headsets are plugged in as indicated when pressing volume control.  We did a reset but that did not work.  What is next?

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

    @ didjunior:
    Hi.  Sorry, but I don't have any good news for ya.
    My issue has been resolved, however - it was due to a lengthy chat I had online with an Adobe Associate.
    We were able to get everything running the way 'twas intended,
    but there were some hoops of fire with which I had to jump.
    Wish I could help....but the only thing I can say is to attempt a "Live Chat"
    With the Adobe help team.
    Hope you get it smoothed over.
    Good luck to you.

  • I didn't move MobileMe subscription to iCloud, what's next?

    I didn't move my MobileMe subscription to iCloud, what's next?, when I go to iCloud in my iPod Touch I am asked to Create a free @me.com email address, thank you for your help.

    I went to iPod - iCloud, I see my Account: oldest Apple ID, description iCloud,.
    I know I have this newer account [email protected], but when I try to put ON in Mail it says "Create a free @me.com email address to turn on iCloud Mail",
    Thank you for your attention,

  • I just sync'd my iPod Nano for the first time. All the audiobooks appear to have been loaded but I cannot hear anything during playback. The volume is turned all the way up. My headphones work when plugged into a different unit. What's next?

    I just sync'd my brand new ipod Nano with my laptop PC running Windows 7, and loaded all my audiobooks. They show up on the Nano's screen, but when I select one I hear nothing. The earphones work fine when connected to another unit. What's next?

    I'm ok with having to resync everything once she gets home but it concerned me when you said it would, again, wipe everything once I plugged it in here. I don't care about having to reload music, contacts, & apps from here, but I would rather not lose all the pictures that she took while she was gone. If we did decide to go the whole start-over-from-scratch route on her end while she is there, could the loss of pictures be adverted if she created a backup of her phone, copied the backup to a USB drive, & brought the backup file home with her so I could restore it from here? When I plug my phone into another computer, I can open it through My Computer & copy the pictures; could I do that when she gets home before I allow iTunes to open & wipe everything again?
    I guess the other option would be to just have her just copy all of the pictures onto a USB drive before she comes home, I'm just curious if it's possible to restore everything if she just brings the backup file home.
    Thanks again for taking the time to helping me.

  • What is next review date in credit management

    hi gurus
    my question what is next review date.  Is it correct if we marked this filed in ova8 number of days means 30 if we maintained in that.  After raising a sales order how will be the effect
    2) should we maintain this along with stataic or dynamic or separate

    For credit mgmt, we have last review date and next review date. What happens is whenever a credit limit for a customer is approved, the date on which it is approved becomes the last review date and then this limit is approved for a certain period, the date on which its validity is going to end or a day before that depending on your business requirements becomes the next review date, i.e. on that particular date again that customer's credit limit is reviewed as to whether to maintain the same limit or there is a need to make any changes to it.........
    This date has nothing to do with static or dynamic checks, i.e it is not dependent on them......
    The effect of mantaining this is whenever there is a credit check for a customer, it'll check these dates, if the next review date is in past, that limit is not effective for that customer.....
    Hope this is of some help........
    Reward, if useful......
    Regards,

    I read all of this, and did each step and mine still doesn't work. It still says "iTunesSetup.exe is not a valid Win32 application". What's next?

    Perhaps try downloading and saving a copy of the installer to a different PC. (If you're on a 32-bit Windows system, try to download on a different 32-bit Windows system.) Copy the iTunesSetup.exe installer to an external hard-drive, or a large-enough thumb drive or burn it to a CD-R. Carry the installer back to your PC, copy the installer to your hard drive. (Don't run the install from the ExHD, thumb or CD-R.) Start the install by doubleclicking the iTunesSetup.exe file.

  • T400s, 4th depot return, what's next?

    So, I have this T400s.... 2808-C5U WinXP Pro SP3
    The Ericsson F3507g factory installed WWAN card has now "disappeared" from the system configuration yet again. After exhaustive work with the Lenovo Depot support folks, I'm returning the machine to them, for repairs, again.
    If this were a car, California State Consumer Protection Law would allow me to return the unit and get a full refund via the LEMON LAW. I know the poor CSR's and Techs at the Lenovo can't really do anything but keep replacing the WWAN card, motherboard, and other components ad infinium, but I'd like to actually USE the laptop someday.
    How do I get through to Lenovo? What's next? How do I escalate? I paid $1,400 about 6 months ago for this turd and its various extras (dock, AC/DC, extended warranty) and I'm just about done with it. I'll know more in 48hrs as the machine ships out today.
    Any advice?

    MrGoober, welcome to the forum,
    sorry to hear about your experience so far, I can imagine how frustrating this must be. 
    You can escalate by simply telling the service centre that you wish to escalate and create a complaint, the service agent should then be in a position to register your complaint and start the ball rolling. The process will take about three days resulting in you being contacted about your complaint. the key word is complaint.
    I hope the above information helps you, but I would like to add the following in case this may be a factor;
    I don't work for Lenovo, but I am a Thinkpad Reseller and recently experienced a case where one of my customers experienced similar problems as yourself, but not exactly the same. (Like I said; may be a factor). The sytem in question was an X200 tablet, WWAN worked and then stopped working.
    The customer contacted support which resulted in his WWAN card being replaced, but alas this was not the solution. They then replaced the mainboard which again did not solve the problem. At this point the customer was to say the least a little angry, (I would have been too as the X200T isn't a cheap system). They contacted me with the intention of returning the system which they were well within their rights to do.
    Fortunately for me, in this case at least, I have known the customer for several years and there were no personal bad feelings towards one another and they were happy for me to "play" with their notebook for a day.  Using spare hard drives I restored the system to factory, WWAN didn't work   I restored the system with another OS, WWAN didn't work It was not looking good, for me
    Having thought about the problem for a little while I realised that there was one hardware component which had not been replaced, namely the SIM card. I tried a different SIM card and lo and behold everything worked I can only assume that somewhere along the line the customer's SIM card caught a cold, dunno.
    I am not saying that this is the problem in your situation, but have you tried swapping out the SIM card? My customer revealed, when he collected his system, that they had tried two other SIM cards, but they were all the same age as the one in the system - over two years old.
    This all happened three weeks ago and I haven't heard from the customer since - no news is good news as I always say
    I sincerely hope you find your solution and that maybe the information I have provided helps you to that end. Please let us know
    Regards

  • HT204264 iDevice Sync Query - IOS Photos & iCloud Photo Library over filling ipad iphone storage - what happens next?

    Device Sync Query - IOS Photos & iCloud Photo Library fills ipad iphone storage - what happens next?
    Quick question, when you select IOS Photo / IiCloud storage (photos are optimised etc) what happens when ipad / iphone storage is full and you now need to add new apps, photos etc?  In my case I have  3 * 64gb ipads & 2 * 128 gb iphone but these are all filling up with photos since enabling IOS Photo &  iCloud Photo Library (as all of my photos on each device are now copbined on every device as well as the cloud).  This has become a problem as when I try to sync my idevice I get the device full warning (and I am assuming I now need to delete apps / videos if I want to sync or make more space for new photos etc). As far as I can tell once you enable IOS Photos and iCloud all photos will upload at original resolution and download at idevice resolution and there is no way to select / control the photos you want to keep on phone  (eg if you delete photo on phone it will now delete the original on cloud).
    Couple of questions / Suggestions:
    - Will IOS Photos on IOS device  automatically lower resolution of pics or use thumbnails for old photos that are already in icloud to ensure that there is space on device for new photos,  apps videos music etc. Eg will old photos that have already been uploaded in icloud be replaced by new apps videos music etc (not sure that the IOS Sync or iCloud currently does this)
    - Is there away to limit control or limit the number of IOS photos that sync to each idevice (eg by starring photos)? I had a look and can not see away to select photos you want to keep or remove (without deleting them on cloud).  As per above I am hoping that the IOS sync and icloud systems are smart enough to replace Photos that have already upgraded to cloud with a lower quality / thumbnail to make more more room for new photos and apps (but not clear if this occurs)
    - If this is a problem now what happens once the new PHOTOS launches for OS Desktop eg will it add in all our photos from iphoto to the icloud then to the idevice as part of the OS PHOTOS UPGRADE. I have 15-30 gb of photos in IPHOTO that are now backing up to icloud, there needs to be away to only select starred photos or albums or every photo try to download to my iphone (which will kill my storage). There also needs to be away to keep photos on idevice (for those times when you do not have internet and can not download from iCloud to iDevice
    Apologies if I have missed something obvious and welcome any thoughts & answers.
    If there is no solution then Apple needs to look at this and highlight it as a risk to customers who switch as this is being sold as a way to minimise your device storage but can lead to to customers using up more  storage for photos on ipad iphone as a result of switch to IOS PHOTOS &
    iCloud Photo Library

    Things are not as dire as they might seem at first glance. My 66GB iPhoto Library became a 40GB iCloud Photo Library (~11K photos, ~300 videos) and only uses 2.2GB on my iPad and 2.4GB on my iPhone. Scaling that experience, a 64GB/128GB iOS device should be able to easily handle a 300GB iPhoto library. My iPad and iPhone are 32GB devices and I expect them to be livable through at least 30-40K of photos.
    16GB devices have always been problematic for space even before iCloud Photo Library so I'd expect anybody with a 16GB device and more than a few thousand photos is not going to be able to use iCloud Photo Library with it. They will have to use iCloud Photo Streaming to get photos to iCloud Photo Library and iCloud Photo Sharing or iTunes syncing to get a subset of photos back to the device. Not a great solution but workable. However, it wrecks one of the best features for me which is using my iPad to edit the photos I take on my iPhone.
    The part that worries me is the automatic space management routine. The problem it creates is that I might want to add a movie, but there won't be enough space, and my only option will be to reset iCloud Photo Library on the device to get back to all thumbnails on it to see if that gets me the space I need. I've already had to do it a couple of times with iTunes Match and it's not fun. It all depends on how aggressive Photo Library will be in trimming off full-size photos/videos and Apple appears to be leaving it a black box at this point. It would at least be nice to know an estimate of the minimum size so I know how much space I can recapture.
