Work with walking?

Hello
I don't actually have one of these yet, but before I decide to buy one I'd like to know one thing, please:
Does it work for just walking? I'm not a runner (bad knees) and everything I read about this describes running, not walking.
I'd like to be able to use this for long walks, and with a shoe wallet on walking shoes. Will this work?
Thank you very much in advance for your help.

I too use a shoe wallet, and I alternate walking briskly and jogging on a treadmill. I have found it works "okay". The slower you go, the harder time it seems to have picking up the shoe sensor. (for reference, according to my treadmill I am walking 4.0 miles per hour and jogging 5.5 miles per hour) Honestly I am not sure how happy you would be with this. I have used mine a ton, and I love the concept, but the execution isn't great for walking in my opinion. When mine finally bites the dust I probably won't replace it.

Is it possible to configure Time Capsule to work with Time Machine (MBP) and Genie Timeline (PC)

I have an Apple Time Capsule (2TB) and I need to configure it to work with my MBP and Time Machine and also back up my a PC with Genie Timeline Pro 2013 (or any other suggested PC back up software).
Setting it up to work with Time Machine is simple enough but the PC access is proving to be difficult.
http://www.genie9.com/support/KB/KnowledgeArticle.aspx?KBID=198
I followed the above steps but still can't connect to the network drive. I have reformatted the TC and will be walking through the steps again. My concern is that the two different operating systems (Win8 and Mavericks) can't share the same destination drive.
I have created two user accounts with drive sharing activated. One in my name for my MBP and the other in the name of my partner for her Dell laptop.
Should the Time Capsule be partitioned? Can it even be partitioned? When I use Drive Utility it can't see the TC. The only way to connect to it seems to be via Airport Utility.
On a seperate note the TC Router Mode is set to OFF (Bridge Mode). I have connected it to the ADSL modem/router (WiFi Off) via the WAN port. All seems to be well. Am I loosing any useful functionality by doing this?
The internet settings are set Connect Using DHCP. I have no issues but I am not really sure what it means and if I should be using other settings. The ADSL modem/router seems to have all the PPP0E settings.
The WiFi on the TC has been set up with a 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz network as well as a Guest Network. I then plan to introduce 2 Airport Express (MB321LL/A). One will be an access point for AirPlay and the other a wireless extender with AirPlay.
There is also a Canon WiFi printer that accesses the 2.4Ghz network. It has an Ethanet port so I am wondering if I should disable the wifi connection and cable it and if so to the TC or the DSL modem/router.

Lion, 7.6.1 firmware and iCloud offers remote access.
http://www.apple.com/au/support/icloud/back-to-my-mac/
To do it without the iCloud service your issue is static public IP address.. if you have one this is simple to the point of trivial. If not it is very hard, as Apple did not put in a standard dynamic DNS service.. (ensuring you were roped into their cloud accounts). Static IP from your ISP is the best solution.. if it is possible go for it.
Then the actual protocol for access is AFP, so the only device you can do this on is a Mac.
Do you have the TC as the main router?
If you want any other kind of access, or to avoid icloud use vpn.. which teamviewer is a kind of.. but buy a real vpn router, and bridge the TC.. you can then vpn into your network with full security and get windows access via smb..

Brand new to forum. Can a Maxtor IV One Touch external hard drive previously used on a PC be formatted to work with my Mac Pro OSX version 10.6.8?

I've never participated in a forum before; so, please let me know if I'm going about it wrong.
My question is this: Can a Maxtor One Touch 4 external hard drive that was previously used on a PC be set up for use on my Mac Pro? I'm preparing to upgrade the Mac to the most recent software version and it was suggested I back everything up first.
I reformatted the hard drive so it is currently empty. There are icons on my Mac desktop for One Touch 4 and Maxtor Manager but other than that nothing appears to be working. There are no drives showing in the Maxtor Manager so I suspect that's where I need to start. However, I don't know enough about what I'm doing to move ahead on my own and I don't want to screw anything up. If anyone knows the steps I should take next, I'd sure appreciate hearing from you.

I am embarrassed how simple that was. I did warn you that I'm technologically challenged; I'm pretty sure that proved it.
The external hard drive is formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). The link you provided indicates the external drive will work with Time Machine. I've never worked with Time Machine and don't know what my next step should be. Would you please walk me through it?
Your help is greatly appreciated. From the points you have accumulated, I can tell you have helped many others and I thank you for your generosity.

Requesting some changes for xen PKGBUILD to work with --enable-ovmf

For background about this issue, you may want to read these two E-Mails to edk2 Mailing List:
http://sourceforge.net/p/edk2/mailman/e … sg32776907
http://sourceforge.net/p/edk2/mailman/e … sg32793684
Basically, it goes like this:
- Xen can be compiled with the optional --enable-ovmf option, so it can make DomU VMs using UEFI Firmware. Instructions here:
http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/OVMF
This can be done in Arch Linux by adding in the ./configure line of PKGBUILD --enable-ovmf, adding an additional step where makepkg downloads Source Code from edk2 repository.
- Currently, it fails to build that way with this error:
http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen- … 02855.html
This error is caused because the edk2 Source Code that xen pulls during build is fresh and doesn't include any patch to make it aware that Arch Linux has both Python 3 (python) and Python 2 (python2). By default, it tries to compile with Python 3, so it fails.
- Assuming than the Python version issue was fixed (I did it in a non-elegant way, replacing /usr/bin/python with /usr/bin/python2), it will still fail with this error:
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/40277
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ovmf-svn/ (Some of the latest comments)
This error is caused by building with GCC 4.9, earlier versions seems unaffected.
The AUR has also a very similar package (If not identical) that is based on edk2 Source Code, the same which xen downloads while building, ovmf-svn:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ovmf-svn/
This one has a PKGBUILD which includes some lines that seem to point that it is aware of both the python version issue, and the GCC 4.9 build issue, by providing a patch:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ov/ovmf-svn/PKGBUILD
Reelevant lines seems to be these ones:
msg "Fix GenFw: ERROR 3000: Invalid, Unsupported section alignment"
patch -Np1 -i "${srcdir}/edk2-basetools-add-gcc4.9-support.patch" || true
patch -Np1 -i "${srcdir}/edk2-ovmfpkg-add-gcc4.9-support.patch" || true
msg "Use python2 for UDK BaseTools"
sed 's|python |python2 |g' -i "${EDK_TOOLS_PATH}/BinWrappers/PosixLike"/* || true
sed 's|python |python2 |g' -i "${EDK_TOOLS_PATH}/Tests/GNUmakefile"
I didn't found any info regarding if Xen can work with OVMF ready-to-use binaries, or either building ovmf-svn, which I didn't tested but I suppose should build properly. All instructions regarding using Xen with OVMF request that it is added as option during build time. This forces me to have to modify the edk2 Source Code that xen downloads.
Basically, what I want to request is if xen PKGBUILD can be modified to include a statement that checks if --enable-ovmf is being used, then make the appropriate changes to the edk2 Source Code that gets downloaded while building Xen so it successfully builds. This could *POSSIBILY* be based on existing ovmf-svn PKGBUILD code.
This change could also be applied to other xen-based packages that can also be builded with --enable-ovmf and presents the same issues.

FINALLY managed to get this thing working:
http://i.imgur.com/ZWTRcn0.png
I tried to build xen with --with-system-ovmf= as suggested like ten times or so, with no success. While xen seemed to build fine, when I tried to create a UEFI DomU, it simply opens and inmediately closes, through if using SeaBIOS worked fine. On xen IRC there was another Arch Linux user claiming that he recently got Xen with OVMF working using that parameter and the bios.bin binary from the ovmf-bin package from AUR. Installing ovmf-bin then providing xen the full path (--with-system-ovmf=/usr/share/ovmf/bios.bin) didn't worked, neither building ovmf-svn myself then using ovmf_x64.bin (Or renaming it to OVMF.fd, ovmf.bin, etc). It always builded perfectly, yet it failed to make a UEFI DomU. Still, both Firmwares worked when using qemu from the official Arch Linux repository (Note that ovmf-bin bios.bin is 1 MiB in size while ovmf-svn ovmf_x64.bin is 2 MiB, not sure what accounts for the difference).
So how I got it working? A bit complex:
- While in my first post I mention that ovmf-svn had a patch for GCC 4.9, it seems than the patch was removed in the last two days. Without the patch, ovmf-svn still builded properly, so I expected than the GCC 4.9 fix got included in edk2 Source Repository. This was blocking me earlier, so decided to give --enable-ovmf another go.
- Renamed python2 to python as a workaround to not have to touch the edk2 tree that xen downloads, which worked the last time.
- Used makepkg with --enable-ovmf in the PKGBUILD ./configure line. I expected it to work due what I mentioned earlier, but it still fails with the GCC 4.9's GenFw: ERROR 3000.
- As a last resort measure, I decided to try to merge into xen the source that ovmf-svn PKGBUILD modifies, as that one builds properly.
- I replaced all the directories inside xen/src/xen-4.4.1/tools/firmware/ovmf-dir-remote/ with the ones from ovmf-svn/src/tianocore-edk2-svn_build/. Not all directories were replaced, seems than ovmf-svn just downloads the parts of the tree required for building the OVMF Firmware, not everything, which xen does.
- Used makepkg again, which used the existing source to try to build again.
- It builded, no python or GenFw error. Installed the new package, rebooted, tried to make the UEFI DomU and BAM! There it is, as you can see in the Screenshot.
Why can some users get this running with just providing bios.bin from ovmf-bin while I have to do a walk around the globe is anyone guess...
To not derail this request further, I can say the following:
- Assuming than --with-system-ovmf= works consistently, which for me didn't, is currently possible to build Xen with OVMF, so making a more complex PKGBUILD to be able to use --enable-ovmf may not be needed.
- --enable-ovmf is still useful because it may reduce a two-step process (Installing ovmf-bin or building ovmf-svn) into one, through I'm not sure if there are pros/cons for each approach besides than you will have latest OVMF version compared to the ready-to-use binary. It also makes xen package more compatible with the mainstream Xen instructions, as --with-system-ovmf= is quite unknow.
These decisions are for kantras to make.

Can the ifi work with an iMac?

Can the Klipsch ifi work for an iMac?
Hi, I'm buying an iMac and I want great speakers to use with them. I'm very interested in purchasing the klipsch ifi for it, but I'm not sure if they only work with an iPod or with computers as well. Help please?

When I walk through the local CompUSA, there the ifi is, in the Apple section--all hooked up. I think that is what the i in the name represents, like iPod, iMac, etc.

Unit of work with wlql

toplink 3.6 is offering a mechanism, that lets you see the results of your work
in the database, before they actually are written to it. i used this under bea
WLS 5.1 and now have my first project with bea 6.0, where i need to use the wlql.
how can i do here the same as i did with toplink's confirmInUnitOfWork() process?

I don't follow your pseudo code. Try to simplify your test case:
UnitOfWork uow = session acquireUnitOfWork();
Person p = uow.readObject(Person.class,expression);
p.setSomeAttrbiute("something else");
uow.commit();
Once you get something like that to work, then walk through your code and I'm sure you'll notice something that's not following the pattern...

Speakers were working with Airport, now they don't work...can someone help?

My external speakers were working nicely with Itunes and Airport for the last year and then last week, they do not work with Itunes. I think it has to do with the new itunes update. I have tried rebooting my computer and Airport Extreme with no luck. Can somebody please walk me thru the process to get my computer reconnected with my airport!?
Thank you very much in advance!

Can somebody please walk me thru the process to get my computer reconnected with my airport!?
Sure, here are the basic steps to configure the AirPort Express for iTunes streaming:
AirPort Express Base Station (AX) - iTunes Setup
Either connect to the AX's wireless network or connect directly, using an Ethernet cable, to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then using the AirPort Utility in "Manual Setup" mode, make the following changes:
AirPort > Wireless
o Wireless Mode: Join a wireless network
o Network Name: <existing wireless network>
o Wireless Security: <select the encryption type of the existing wireless network>
o Wireless Password: <enter the existing wireless network password>
o Verify Password: <re-enter the existing wireless network password>
Music
o Enable AirTunes (checked)
o iTunes Speaker Name: <enter desired speaker name>
o iTunes Speaker Password: (optional)
o Verify Password: (optional)
o Click Update to write the new settings to the AX
In iTunes:
iTunes > Preferences... > Advanced > General
o Look for remote speakers connected with AirTunes (checked)
The other thing to take into consideration, is that the iTunes host must be able to "communicate" to the AX in order to stream to it. Anything that would "block" the path could prevent audio from reaching the speakers. I would also check your computer's firewall settings to make sure iTunes is not being blocked.

Conversion App for mpg to avi (so it will work with iDVD' 08)

I need an app to convert my camera mpg movie clips to avi.
So it will work with iDVD 08.
Not Quicktime Pro
( Can't upgrade without losing the pro features, so looking for an alternative )
Does any one know of an free app?
Thanks

You might as well try MPEG Steamclip as it is free and often recommended here. Their manual says "Exporter features: from MOV, DV, AVI, DIVX, MP4, WMV, FLV, MPEG, MPG, VOB, (. . .and a number of others) to MOV, DV, AVI, DIVX, MP4"
I can't speak from personal experience as to whether it will work for your situation.
You should also read Jon Walker's posts from the thread titled "Importing" in the iMovie forum.

What web cam(s) actually work with my macbook pro? (os10 ver 10.6.8)

What is the best (out of the box running) web cam for a macbook pro? ( I'm running os10.6.8) Little background below:
Man I'm confused! I see that the logitech c910 web cam works with the mac but then I also see that it only "sort of " works..... huh?? I got my macbook pro because its software instantly recognized me as the dummy. Very "turn key" user friendly stuff with the MAC and great for music stuff which is what I do for a living. One of my jobs is part time guitar instructor at a community college and I'm hoping to create digested vids of the sessions to help students that miss class. I'd like to edit the videos in imovie and have some text/music stuff on the screen as well. I knew there would be a little learning curve and it would take a while to get comfortable but I can't even get the camera to get started! Any suggestions would help. Especially from anyone who has done guitar stuff before i.e. youtube etc....thanks

I am embarrassed how simple that was. I did warn you that I'm technologically challenged; I'm pretty sure that proved it.

Does BT Fon/Openzone work with an ipod touch gen 1...

Hi,
I am a BT Infinity customer and have opted in to BT Fon. I cannot get my ipod touch gen 1 to work with a BT Fon or Openzone network. I can connect to my BT home hub as well as various friends' networks but for some reason I can't get the BT Fon/BT Openzone to work. It sees the network and in Settings-->Wi-Fi Networks I have deleted the initial 10.xx.xx.xx entry (leaving the "192.168.22.22, 192.168.22.23" with no leading space) and it says it has connected. When I go into Safari and try and enter any URL it says "connecting..." but I do not get the landing page (to enter my details) and it eventually times-out with a "Cannot open Page. Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding" message. This even happens when I try and use the BT Fon part of my home hub!
Any ideas why this isn't working? I have tried various BT Fon/Openzone points and none of them work. Any help would be most appreciated!
P.S. I cannot use the BTFON app as it is not compatible with the ipod touch gen 1 (I have the latest version of the ipod gen 1 software which is 3.1.3).

Well, I've tried various networks and various settings and I simply cannot get the ipod touch to work with BT Fon/Openzone.
I have to say I'm very disappointed with this - it was a toss-up for me to join either Virgin Media or BT Infinity and the only thing that swung it was the opportunity to use BT Fon/Openzone points when out and about. I think I've made the wrong choice as it is pretty useless to me now.
Also, the BT Fon website claims that in the area where I work there a lots of BT Fon/Openzone networks but I spent an entire lunchtime walking around with my ipod checking the available networks and only found two - both with fairly weak signals that occasionally disappear and reappear. Anyone else noticed this too?
I'm fairly sure it's not my ipod as it will happy connect to my homehub from the bottom of my garden which is around 30 metres away from the hub.
Another disatisifed BT customer.

Making the WMB54G work with Vista (Service Pack 1) - it does work.

I posted this in response to a thread, thought it could use its own topic.
There is hope and potential success for Vista users!   I got the WMB54G 2 days ago. I spent 6 hours with it and nearly threw the product AND my computer out the window the first night. I scoured this forum for the past two days, and by putting pieces together from various threads, I'm now using the Music Bridge successfully with my 1 month old Dell XPS M1530 with Vista Home Ultimate with Service pack 1.  Once I had my gameplan, it worked perfectly the first time I tried the new approach. I will try to write a step by step process of what I did in the next few days but for now.....
1. Throw out the installation CD that comes with the music bridge (its useless for Vista).... I'm kidding, but you get the point.
2. You HAVE to dowload the Vista compatible installation utility and Firmware upgrade from the Linksys forum - I don't have the link right now, but its here in this forum.
3. Run the Vista driver setup to install the Musicbridge utility - the "Install utility" link at the bottom of the setup screen, but DO NOT try to configure the router since you'll just have to do it again later.
4. Run the firmware upgrade for the router (it behaves exactly like the setup utility, but instead of configuring the hardware for use, it upgrades the fimware)
5. Run the Vista driver setup to configure the router (only after the firmware upgrade).   I didn't have to do anything outside of the auto setup. i'm using a Linksys wireless G router as well, and it connected with 64 Bit WEP encryption no problem once i entered my encryption passphrase.
6. Open up MSCONFIG and disable the CMFLYWAVE Application on Startup
7. In your Program Files directory, find \Linksys\wmb54g\wmb54g.exe, \Linksys\wmb54g\driver\cmas2ds.exe, and \Linksys\wmb54g\driver\cmflywav.exe - For all three files, right click and go to Properties\compatability.   Check the "Run this program in compatability mode for:"   pick XP with SP 2.
THANK YOU SO MUCH TO THE PEOPLE WHO POSTED THAT LAST BIT!!!!
8. I'd suggest restarting the computer now.
9. You might get a "WMB54G.exe has stopped running error" on restart... that's ok
10. Start the following files in this order:
cmas2ds.exe
cmflywav.exe
wmb54g.exe
11. The utility should start, and then you can connect to the bridge via the system tray icon. - you might have to also set the default audio device to the Music Bridge by right clicking your system tray speaker icon
12. Uncheck the "Start the Music Bridge when I start Windows" option in the utility screen - and execute the three files in step 10 each time you restart.
I hope this works for you.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I finally got my WMB54G to work with Vista SR1. It took me 4 hours of struggling to figure it out though.
What I did was:
1. Download the latest utility and firmware from the linksys support site.
2. To set up the device, preferably use http://192.168.1.210. There are http setup instructions on the linksys customer service site. Alternately, you can use the setup wizard on the CD but I would recommend avoiding it if you can. If you do use the setup CD and it installs the WMB54G utility, promptly uninstall the utility afterwords and restart the computer.
3. Update the firmware to v.2.18 by using http://192.168.1.210 and going to the HELP tab
4. Install the latest utility from the support site but do not run the main setup. Simply run setup.exe in the utility folder AND GIVE IT PLENTY OF TIME. Walk Away and let the installer finish and close. Then do the thing people discovered -- edit the properties of C:\Program Files\Linksys\WMB54G.exe and make sure it is set for running in XP compatability mode.
5. Restart the computer
Mine started working fine after I did all of this -- the WMB54G came up automatically and found the device. Keep in mind I do not have WEP or anything -- just unsecured wireless.
Good luck.
Mike

AT&T Microcell does NOT work with Time Warner Technicolor Modem!

After a frustrating two weeks of working through problems with AT&T, trying to get my Microcell on-line, Time Warner finally informed me that the Microcell does not work with their new Technicolor modem. Incredibly annoying that none of the AT&T reps I spoke to knew this. I walked in the Time Warner office to swap out the moden, the clerk there immediately knew the problem because he use to work at AT&T. How a former AT&T rep knew this and none of the new ones did, is beyond me.

There are so many ISP configured routers and gateways out there that it is impossible for AT&T support to keep track of what is compatible and what is not. We are just starting to see reports of incompatibilities with the Technicolor gateways (TWC equipment has a long history of problems with the MicroCell). Unfortunately the support reps are limited in what they can tell the customer and unless AT&T documents and verifies equipment incompatibilites they can't say anything. What the "former AT&T rep" knew may have been in-house discussions. AT&T, like any provider, has to be careful not to immediately blame the other party without "proof". The more documented complaints AT&T receives concerning a specific piece of equipment the better. However, it is up to the ISP to fix and/or replace their equipment when it comes to compatibility problems. Specific firmware pushes for specific equipment by AT&T to the MicroCell is not a viable alternative nor is it realistic.

Does this Work With Iphone? MOTOROLA S9 BLUETOOTH HEADSET

I have heard that this works with Iphone? MOTOROLA S9 BLUETOOTH HEADSET ...does anyone know if it truly does or do you all know of a headset (over the head or behind the neck) one that does?
< Edited by Host, for your protection, no personal information please. >
Thanks
Bill

I was in a wireless store when I inquired to a manager about this product (S9 Motorola Bluetooth Wireless Headset), and asked if it worked with both the iPod and phone capabilities of my iPhone....to which this manager replied that she knew for a fact that she had read on the apple support forums that this product did, in fact work with both music and phone functionality, once paired.
I believe now that she was using this tactic to make more apple-endorsed-sales of this headset, and therefore get more commissions for her store. I mean every employee in the store was wearing them and toting that they worked flawlessly when asked, it was disgusting now that I think of it.
I called the store back up and asked to speak to that manager again, and she maintained that what she read was in fact true, even when I told her that I found that the iPhone does not currently support this headset's bluetooth technology, and that possibly what she read was that once paired the headset works with the phone part of the iPhone but not the iPod part.....she railed that she was correct and that what she read supported both, in spite of all evidence to the contrary, here on apple's support forums.
I think that wireless company employees with a new product that they cannot officially confirm compatibilities, should not go unchecked for spreading misinformation, merely to promote sales for walk-ins...its really terrible, especially on the biggest day of the shopping year and all the hype already created and money put into incentives to rush sales.
Don't believe the hype. Even the phone capability of the S9 headset is not stereo for the iPhone. Really not worth over a $100 for this kind of minor functionality.

Work with walking?
