What's up with Xgrid? Any non-science use?

So Xgrid was touted as a slick way to supercompute, but I haven't seen much done with it outside of biosciences.
Are there any applications for Final Cut, After Effects, or 3D rendering (like Maya, mentalray, Cinema 4D, etc)?

Is there anything useful here or here?

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iPod. 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 iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
Apple - iPod Repair price
A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.
iPhone Repair, Service & Parts: iPod Touch, iPad, MacBook Pro Screens
Replace the jack yourself

I just downloaded a Karaoke file and now I don't know what to do with it or how to use it.

I just downloaded a Karaoke file and now I don't know what to do with it or how to use it.
I'm very new at the whole i-tunes idea and would consider myself a total amature!!

All I'm really looking for is a way to sing karaoke songs at home as a rehearsal in case I go out sometime.
I thought the iTunes version would have lyrics or that I could move it with lyrics into a Karaoke program that I downloaded.
Alas, this is beginning to seem like an impossibility.

What to do with an old non functioning mac

I have a 2007 iMac that won't start, tried everything. Am happy to trash it (which seems a shame) but how do I get everything off it first if I can't start it? Do I remove the hard drive and pound it with a hammer??

If your serious about trashing it and only want the HD out, you can follow the instructions on the link below. Once the hard drive is out, you'll need and external case to connect to another (replacement) computer to access the data.
I believe you have the iMac7,1, so the info on this site should work. (Sorry to hear yours died - I have the same model and it still working fine with Mountain Lion.)

EDIT: Are you sure you tried everything? Did you take it to an Apple store - Genious Bar?
It does seem like a shame to trash if it's fixable. Have to weigh the cost of repairs against the cost of a new one.

What`s wrong with my Bootcamp when I use FileValut in Lion

I don`t know what happens with the new FileValut?Now,if I install Bootcamp drivers(I have tired every version I could find) in Win7,it will be crashed atfer reboot.Then Win7 will crash(Blue Screen) again and again .The only thing I can do to stop this is enter the safe mode and uninstall Bootcamp.I doubt that it may cause by the built-in time verification program because it have to visit Lion`s partitition to get time information but File Valut prevents it.
Then I just want to know how to solve the problem.I need both FileValut and Bootcamp.Is there any solution or I have to wait until Apple fix the bug ?

Yes my Iphone has done the same thing!!! I was listning to music then it just stopped.
There is no sound coming from it what so ever!!!! I have tried eveything, i actually work for a mobile company and i on Ipone support and i know all the tricks but nothing has worked!!! Not happy at all!! Restoring to new dose nothing, the same as when i put it in to safe mode?????????

What to do with Time Capsule when not using for Wireless Internet

I previously connected my Time Capsule to my fiber optic router but in my no home this is no longer needed as the cable TV company now provides 160 MPS Internet in a router that contains a wireless router built in. It works fine. My computer is now connected wirelessly to that router (too far to take advantage of the wired connection).
Therefore I want my Time Capsule to just be connected to the computer for backups. I gather I have to connect it via Lan and make sure it does not transmit r receuve wirelessly. In fact, other wireless computers in the huse occasionally try to log into the old Time Capsule PPoE settings, so I want to erase them and start fresh.
This seems to be similar to what I want t do, but I want to make sure and ask:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/8256674#8256674
If this is not correct, can someone advise.
By the way, I have a first generation Aiport Express that I hope to use with my new cable router (modem?). I assume it will work as it did with the Time Capsule. Purpose is for Airplay with an audio system.
Thanks!

Thank you for your replies. I really appreciate it.
To answer your questions in order, but first I should mention that due to work reasons, I will be away from my computer until Friday night Japan time, or Friday AM US time.
Anyway, probably better I go slowly,as I tend to get overwhelmed by technical things.
1) You said: "The TC does NOT require an Internet connection for network connectivity. You DO have to connect the TC by Ethernet to the Fiber Optic router in order for it to gain network connectivity AND to allow network clients to access it."
-->Ok, this is in reference to my Time Capsule and the previous network n myold apartment. But your next question makes me wonder:
2) "Is this Motorola device the one that replaced the Fiber Optic router that you mentioned in your original post? What is its model number? Do you have the TC connected directly to it by Ethernet?"
Ok, this is what I have:
Wall--> Cable modem with wireless (Motorola SURFboard SBG6580J Wireless Cable Modem Gateway.)
Other Room IMAC connected wirelessly to Cable Modem (no Ethenet connection to it since there is no jack and too far to run a cable (permanently--I can do for setup if needed)---> connected to TC and Time Capsule is backing up ok. Time Capsule is also not connected to the Modem
3) "Since you will only want to use the Time Capsule for Time Machine backups, I understood that you wanted to disable its wireless network. If this is still the case, the Express would need to be configured to join the wireless network provided by the Motorola wireless router."
Yes, This is what I am wondering. Do I have to connect it by LAN to the Motorola? A few times, when it was just plugged into the Wall, my Mac airport utility found but them could not connect to my Express. maybe because I did not configure it to work with the Motorola as you say.
4)
"By default the Express will broadcast its own wireless network with a network name of something like: Apple Network NNNNNN. You would need to connect to this network with your computer prior to attempting to access it with the AirPort Utility. Another option would be to temporarily connect it, by Ethernet, to the Motorola router during its setup phase. Once completed you can move it to the desired location."
Ok, this confirms what I guessed. Connecting the computer to the Expressby Lan? Is that what you mean?
I do understand the second option---connecting the Express to the Motorola.
If that is right, I can try that. Do I need to do anything other than connect it?
I will be able to try this Friday or Saturday I hope.
Once again. thanks for all your help. Really appreciate your taking the time to explain it.

What is up with these import fees on used items?

I was very interested in some bose speakers and the price $375
$52.93 International Priority Shipping to Canada (reasonable)
Import charges:$51.02 (unreasonable)
Total=478.95
As long as ebay is putting the shaft up Canadians you know whats I will no longer be buying from anyone who uses the
Global Delivery Program , I will find my items elsewhere and won't even mind paying a little extra just to avoid buying from E-bay.So much for my money going to help the American economy,seems typical though of big business.

Canada charges sales taxes on used items just like on new items.You pay GST on a used car for example.Duty and tax is charged on any purchased import over $20. (Gifts are charged if valued over $60). Canada Post has a minmum $10 service fee for negotiating the borderUPS and other couriers charge $20-25 minimumThe Global Shipping Program (Pitney Bowes) charges $4.95 minimum It is not worthwhile for a buyer to purchase if the item is under $100 value and the seller uses the Global Shipping Program or a courier. These items should always go by USPS/Canada Post BUTOne reason for the saving is that Canada Post is quite lax about charging the fees they are allowed to charge and those they are supposed to collect. Which does wonders for the national debt.

TS1440 Clicking sounds. No entry on start up. Slow. Error code 36. Finally question mark folder. I don't understand what's wrong with the thing I barely use it. Can you help?

Iv been having multiple issues with my mac. This comes as a surprise as I rarely use it.
Symptoms-
Clicking noises
Slow
Unresponsive
(Error code 36)
Question mark folder
I used single user mode to try and repair the disk through utilities but the option wasn't available. I then verified the disk and it came up with few error messages
-invalid leaf record count
-invalid directory item
-found corrupt and needs to be repaired
Unfortunately I don't have an instillation disk, I didn't get one when I bought the computer. I don't know what else to do.

If the Mac is running v10.7 Lion or v10.8 Mountain Lion ..
Startup your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys so you can access the built in utilities in OS X Recovery
From there you can repair the startup disk.

What is up with the ridiculous prices on used Ipad's 1st gen

I was on kijji/ebay/Craigslist, all i see the first gen Ipad going at 350-400 dollars. I check apple's prices on the main site, the Ipad 2 is $399, I don't get why the first generation Ipad is the same price as an Ipad 2. Am i missing something? I was thinking of buying the first generation Ipad used since the 3rd one came out and i thought it would drop the price down.
Any answer is appreciated.

Hi,
I had one of my phone's battery run out.
It was charged overnight and had enough battery before I went to bed.
However an iMessage I sent and checked on my other phone (Smilies from Messages Beta) did not arrive until this afternoon my time (At least 12 hours later)
Syncing seems to have a long way to go on this.
I amd finding both Phones (iOS 5 devices) and the Messages Beta are having difficulty in keeping things in sync and up to date when they are On.

Any suggestions what to do with an old G3 Powerbook??

I have a 7 year old G3 Powerbook? Any suggestions what to do with it? It only has an 8 GB hard drive. But it runs 10.4.10. I've read somewhere you can turn it into a second monitor for editing.

Can't use it as a second monitor...dunno where you heard that.
How about do the Letterman "things you drop from a 5 story building?" Kidding.
I have one of those...the first edition ICEbook...the non-toilet seat ones, right? Well, my kids use it and I have FCP 4.5 installed on it for them to play with. Not that they have. All they do is research for school and online video games. Darn them.
Dunno if a school will take it. Hey...give it to a homeless person. Introduce them to the World Wide Web!
Sorry...not helpful...

I HATE my new MACBOOK PRO, it will not let me open any PDF files and I downloaded the ADOBE READER three freaking times and it keeps saying that all the files are corrupt. I would rather have my 2008 Dell at this point. what is wrong with this thing

I HATE my new MACBOOK PRO, it will not let me open any PDF files and I downloaded the ADOBE READER three freaking times and it keeps saying that all the files are corrupt or damaged. I would rather have my 2008 Dell at this point. what is wrong with this thing

Perhaps the PDF files are corrupted.
Hit the command key and spacebar, a blue Spotlight in the upper right hand corner appears, now type Preview and press return on the Preview program.
Now you can try opening the PDF's from the file menu and see what's going on.
If they are corrupted, perhaps they are trojans from your Windows PC or gotten from a bad location online.
Download the free ClamXav and run a scan on the possibly infected folder.

Please feel free to ask any further details required..

You need to use UPSERT ALL rather than just UPSERT.
The documentation [url http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e25554/sqlmodel.htm#i1011770]here explains that UPSERT can only insert with "positional reference" and not "symbolic reference", and ANY wildcard is always "symbolic reference". But UPSERT ALL allows model rules with existential predicates (comparisons, IN, ANY, and so on) in their left side to have UPSERT behavior.

I'm using a pc, (windows 8.1,) and I cannot get a thick and thin line with CS6. None of the brush tool settings have any effect, even in the preview. Is there a setting I need because I'm using a pc?

I'm using a pc, (windows 8.1,) and I cannot get a thick and thin line with CS6. I want to draw, but I cannot get any linework like I should. I also use Sketchbook Pro, and ToonBoom, and I get wonderful linework. But not with Photoshop.

How to explain. OK 1st all photos are visible in my iPhoto library; however, some are stored on hard drive and some are stored on external. All can be viewed in itunes, but none on the external will sync to my iPad. What's up with that.

How to explain. OK 1st all photos are visible in my iPhoto library; however, some are stored on hard drive and some are stored on external. All can be marked or unmarked in itunes, but none of the photos stored on the external drive will sync to my iPad. Anybody know what's up with that?

What really cheeses me off here is that Apple isn't allowing users enough customization. With each update of iTunes (and the OS and iOS) we're forced to give up something that worked well for the way we want to use the app and make do with fewer (and lamer) options. If Apple keeps this up, they're going to start losing customers fast. I mean if this isn't fixed soon, I'm pretty sure I'm going to give up on iTunes, and then I'll probably go ahead and get a Galaxy when I need to replace my iPhone.
What I don't understand about how they won't let users delete the list of available podcasts now is why? How is this making it a better program? I can understand that not all users are capable enough to right-click on a feed and select "Show all available episodes", so I can see why they want the complete list to be the default (and, surprise, it already was). But to not give users the option to delete that list? It's inconsiderate because it makes navigating feeds with a large back catalogue really frustrating. I'm flabbergasted that no one at Apple considered all the podcast feeds that keep hundreds of episodes available when they removed this feature. It smacks of rank incompetence.
What improvement were they trying to make here anyway? There was nothing wrong to my mind about how podcasts were managed in previous versions. Whatever improvement they were trying to make here, they should have realized that many users would at least want the option to keep things the way they were.
And reverting to a previous version is no solution. I can't sync my iPhone with the new iOS without this update, and (while I do have some issues--specifically how you can't play podcasts in the Music app anymore) I do like the new iOS.

What's up with Xgrid? Any non-science use?
