Yet another comping thread

Sorry, but I can't seem to find this specific problem in a search of "comping" so here's yet one more thread.
Personally, I'm loving the comping feature. I've gotten some great results from it, and I find it easy and intuitive to use.
However, my problem comes when I try to "flatten and merge." Just flattening seems to work okay, and I'm left with all the separate regions and all the fades that were created using the comping feature. But if I try to flatten AND merge, the resulting region does not even remotely resemble the comp that was flattened. Some of the fades appear to be missing as you can hear some of the transitions from region to region, sounds that did not exist in the comped regions come up. In short, it's a mess.
Is anyone else having problems with this? Maybe the solution is to never merge, but only flatten for now and wait for an update. Or perhaps there's some preference somewhere about how the merged and flattened region is created that is set incorrectly.
Any advice?
Thanks.

Try to keep things simple
If it works without security, then you need to add security in ONE step at a time
First be sure that MAC address filtering is DISABLED in your wireless settings on your router
Next, pick a simple passphrase like 1234ABCD check off WAP or whatever you are using realizing that WPA algorithms must be checked as well (TKIP or AES)
Make sure you save the changes on your router and then go to your itouch and enter in WPA or whatever and the pass word
If it doesn't work, unplug the modem, then the router then shut down your pc or mac and turn off the itouch completely, till when you see the bar on the top of the itouch to slide off. Then plug in modem, wait till lights stop flashing, only the activity light should flash, power up the router, then the pc then turn on itouch

Yet another HTPC thread

Hi, there is probably a thousand posts on this forum about this topic, but I dont have time to read all of them atm due to hectic work.
But I want recomendations on what software to use to build a simple mediabox. What I want it to do: I simply want it to play videos that I have, either from the computer itself or mounted trough the network. I do NOT want to record anything at all. And remote access to control it would be a big plus too, like a web interface or ssh, I'm not to picky.
Tried MythTv with MythVideo earlier today, but that seems to run way to slow on the box (see specs below), but it might just be me doing something wrong and I will give it another shot after work.
Specs:
AMD Athlon 1300 MHz
384 SDRAM
Radeon 9200
Edit: I dont want to run the myth-live distro based on knoppix either, as I have other services running on the computer when its not playing videos.

I run freevo 1.6.3 (it's got fewer dependencies and quirks than 1.7.0), using TV-out only. version 1.6.3 is no longer in the AUR, so i would be happy to provide you my own PKGBUILD.
I'm using openbox as a WM (login with this method http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Aut … on_startup . Use the "C" method and modify it to also execute startx), even though freevo can "be it's own window manager". Xorg is _highly_ recommeded though, as you get accelerated video output.
Then I bought a cheap'o ir remote (usb receiver), and it "acts" as an extra keyboard, with keycodes sent to xorg (most ir remotes work this way). Some of the keycodes already mapped to "real keys", and some that i've mapped with xmodmap.
It mounts DVDs and CDs automatically through freevo (no setup...), and i just had to point it at a samba mountpoint at my download server to watch shows that i download regularly.
Too bad my "media" computer is unable (too old) to suspend with powersave, since this can be done (as well as shutdown) from freevo!

Yet Another Build Thread

I'm sure you get a lot of these, but research into specs and benchmarks hasn't really gotten me anywhere, so I've come here for a first-hand opinion. Been looking to build a new computer specced for video work with Premiere Pro and After Effects, gaming, and the ability to be able to run OSX (As I understand it, the motherboard is the crucial component here, and the P8Z77-M-PRO seems to be suitable) for breadth; it will mostly be running Windows. Here's what I'm looking at right now, subject to change:
Intel CPU Core i7 3770K - $335.00
CoolerMaster Hyper 212+ EVO CPU Cooler - $37.00
Asus P8Z77-M-PRO Intel Mainboard - $129.00
G.SKILL DDR3 16GB (2x8GB) PC-12800/1600 RipjawsX F3-1600C9D-16GXM - $95.00, perhaps 32GB.
Bitfenix Alpha Merc Case - $49.99
Corsair CX600 V3 80 PLUS BRONZE PSU - $95
Gigabyte nVidia GTX 670 WF2 (?) - $419.00
Already got a couple of pretty standard hard drives from my current build, will probably expand with a 2x WD Black RAID 0 array later on. Would like to keep this under $1500, so a 2011 CPU or Quadro card is out of the question. Not really too fussed about not having an SSD. Going to wait until prices drop to at least 50c/GB.
As well looking for as general criticism, I have a few specific questions:
I have read that the Nvidia 500 series provides better video performance than the 600 series due to their larger memory interfaces. How would a 570 compare to a 670 in this respect? I know that gaming performance is roughly proportional to price. Also, what about a 580? I have found myself entirely unable to find any relevant benchmarks - it's all just games.
I am sorta cutting corners with the case and motherboard. Do you reckon I will be able to get away with this? Planning on doing some light to moderate overclocking, perhaps boost the CPU to around 4-4.2 GHz. Might also go for a second GPU further down the track (To be able to handle newer games).
Some people have been really insistent on getting me to get an i5 instead of an i7. The latter does seem to give Premiere quite the performance boost, however. I'm guessing I shouldn't listen to them?
Cheers.

Hey, thanks for the replies, much appreciated.
How much of a difference will the 4GB version of the card make, because it costs a full $100 extra. The fact that I could get a 2GB 680 for cheaper really puts me off.
How's this for a PSU? It's only silver rated, and normally, I'd stay away from brands I've never heard of before, but this is very fairly priced and has some good reviews. (EDIT: Oh, apparently it's made by Seasonic. That's good.)
As for thermal paste, I was planning on just using the stuff that comes with the 212+ cooler, which is apparently quite good, comparable to Artic Silver 5 and such.
How are the case and motherboard? Going to see if I can find a similarly priced suitable full ATX motherboard later today (The one in the build above more or less has everything I need, but is mATX, and thus may have some heat issues). Should I be looking for something with a discreet RAID controller in the spec sheet, or are these standard? Every board I have looked at lists RAID capability, but says nothing about a RAID controller
EDIT. Yep, I'll likely get a different board. Leaning towards the ASUS P8Z77-V LK, maybe the P8Z77-V with it's better heat management. Not sure if this is worth the $50 price bump, though.

Yet another TOC thread

Hello,
I'm using Pages 2 an I'm having two issues with TOC.
1. It only works if I place it at the beginning of the document, but I want it at the end. So I first created it at the beginning and then did "cut, paste" to the end. At first it seems to work, but somehow he automatically refreshes from time to time and then I get: "The table of contents is empty because none of the paragraph styles selected in the Document Inspector are used in the document". (That's the same message I get when I try to create the TOC at the end (without using cut, paste))
2. If I want page numbers to appear in the TOC too, there should be dots til the end of the line, so that ALL numbers are aligned at the right end side of the page. Instead page numbers appear with different indent.
I would appreciate any help,
Steve
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Hello Steve,
a TOC can only be created before the content that should appear in the TOC. There is no chance to have a functional TOC placed behind the text it should contain.
To get the TOC layout you need, select a page number in the TOC and you will see that all page numbers with the same TOC level will be selected. Now show the ruler by pressing the "command" and the "r" keys, drag the blue tabstop sign where you need it. With the "control" key and a click on the tabstop sign, you can choose the kind of the tabstop item. Show the "Text" inspector and choose the "Tab" tab panel. At the bottom you will see a list. Select the number in it (which is the value for the tabstop sign) and choose from the pop-up menue beside the list the kind of space filler you want to see in the TOC. Save the style in the styles drawer.
This you should do for every different TOC level you use.

Yet another nvidia thread

Now, before everybody yells at me to search before asking, I have searched and I have tried everything to fix this, but I'm stuck as can be. Here's the situation. I'm trying to install the new nvidia drivers, 5336 on kernel 2.6.4. I've tried downloading and untarring the source from kernel.org and symlinking it to /usr/src/linux. I've tried the method using abs and mkpkg. /lib/modules/2.6.4/build does indeed point to /usr/src/linux-2.6.4. I always run the installer with --kernel-source-path=/usr/src/linux-2.6.4, though the results are the same if I don't. When it tries to compile the module it says:
ERROR: Unable to determine the NVIDIA kernel module filename. And in the background it says: make: *** [select_makefile] Error 1. The log says the exact same thing and doesn't elaborate. I am, at this point, thoroughly peeved. Any help would be greatly appreciated and the lucky contestant who solves this problem will be showered with imaginary money and virtual cream filled pastries.

I just installed the NVIDIA drivers on my fresh install of Arch yesterday and I am also running the 2.6.4 kernel. I looked previous to installing to see if there was any documentation and I didn't see any either so I decided to go ahead and write some!
I posted it on the Arch Wiki at: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/How … A%20Driver
Hopefully this can help you out. I ran into a few snags along the way that I didn't hit in other distro's (they just have other snags).
Please excuse the format of the page. It was the first time I had used Wiki so I kept it simple just hoping it would work. Let me know if you have any questions and I will try to answer them.

Yet another grey folder thread, help!

Sorry for yet another grey folder thread, but here goes:
Today, earlier, installed Firefox update, along with some addon updates for that program. Quit Firefox and attempt to relaunch, relaunch fails. Reset computer, thinking that will do the trick, I now have grey folder with question mark.
Resolve attempts: reset pram = fail; apple care cd = will not launch/fail; disk utility from original install disks = fail; cannot get repair of disk or permissions to work, continually get error about "failing on exit"; safe mode launch = fail
So, I've done everything, and I've come to conclusion that I am f***, and my HDD is fried (but I hope I am wrong).
So, dear gurus, my question(s)
A) Is my HDD salvageable at all? is there some trick to getting the AppleCare cd to work? Anything?!?!
if not, then B) How can I recover my documents/music/pictures? Long story short, there are several things on there that never had a chance to make my back up schedule, and I desperately want to keep them. Any way to make/copy a disk image to save the docs/imgs, or Firewire them to an external hdd? Do I need to consider a professional HDD rescue?

Looks like a mechanical failure, and Apple won't cover the replacement due to a drop it sustained a year or two ago (the power cable was in, and it fell on the connection point, denting that in, Apple states there is a critical board their and that it would be $950 Tier 3 repair which I can't afford). So I'm going to try a Firewire Migration and a few other things and see if that works. If not, oh well. Thanks everyone for the ideas!

Yet Another P7N Diamond Issue

Apart from the ongoing problem I am still having in this thread I now have yet another dilemma. I bought a BFG 9800 GT OC2 as a upgrade and installed it the usual way ensuring I connected the 6 pin connector too and the pc does not boot up even after several attempts
Instead I am getting a strange beeping pattern one long beep then some shorts
Please if someone could shed some light I would greatly appreciate it even if its regarding my previous issue.

http://www.coolermaster.com/products/product.php?language=en&act=detail&tbcate=22&id=2543
I use the above Cooler Master PSU, zero issues. Has 4 pci-e connectors, so it's ready for quad sli if I ever want to go that route with my P6n Diamond. Has lots of different connection options, highly rated PSU. Not all Cooler Master PSUs underperform, just have to know what you're buying. The above supply also has 2 8 pin connectors so for instance when my GTX 295 arrives I'll have no trouble (card uses 6/8 pin). Reviews also can be helpful.

Yet another dead mic with Win7 64-bit upgrd - Portege M700

Title says it all. Mics used to work fine on this machine under Windows XP. Under Win7, except as I note below, the mic has inaudibly low volume with any Control Panel Sound settings. I've spent huge amounts of time trying to solve this. After seeing all the similar posts (with no solutions, it seems) from users of many different Toshiba laptops, I'm about to start spreading the meme across the Internet that Toshiba laptops can't use mics.
I started by upgrading to Win7 then adding just the 64-bit drivers I need from Toshiba's support site. No joy. Then I started from a clean Win7 upgrade (64-bit Home) using Toshiba's upgrade script. Nope. Installed latest generic drivers from Realtek. Hmm .. some progress, maybe: now with some Sound settings I can get slightly more volume but the mic input is drowned out by white noise-ish hissing. All right, disable any other sound sources I can adjust: disable Chicony webcam driver from Device Manager. Hmm, now mike volume can get fairly high but the hissing still drowns it out.
Toshiba: At some level, this is a problem between Microsoft and Realtek, I know. But you can help us. MS changed the audio model significantly since Win XP, including (god knows why!) giving up the little audio mixer app that used to let you adjust levels for different sound sources. And Realtek's generic driver doesn't provide one either. So just give us a way to adjust levels for different audio inputs! Maybe I haven't Googled sufficiently and some hacker out there has one, but I kinda doubt it ... if it requires driver-level access as I suspect, Microsoft's new DRM-motivated hammerlock limiting us to signed drivers prevents us from fixing this ourselves. (It also means we can't access our ext3 partitions without extreme measures, but that's another rant.) So CAN SOME TOSHIBA ENGINEER PLEASE LET MANAGEMENT KNOW THEY'RE ABOUT TO DESTROY THEIR LAPTOP FRANCHISE OVER AUDIO ISSUES? Just cut, paste, and forward a couple dozen of these threads. Sure, it's a career risk but (wo)man up to it! Audio really matters to laptop buyers nowadays ... without Skype, I'll have do carry Yet Another Device when I'm traveling. Heck, I've personally bought at least 6 Toshiba laptops over the years and I'm starting to shop for a replacement. Anything but Toshiba, I'm sorry to say :-(
Oh, in case somebody has an idea of something else I can try, the specific model is PPM70U-1KC01DB

After having yet another problem with my MacBook Pro and having to wipe the drive, I am now unable to sync my iPhones etc without erasing all the music on them. Is there a way around this? I have no other library!
iTunes is a mess! It couldn't find it's own libraries and I was forced to create a new one. Now I don't know where my music is or if any's missing.

It's not crap at all.
It's not that simple. For example, I've 3500 songs on my MacBook but don't want them all on my phone, so I have to manually select each song again???
There has to be a solution.
Why not simply make a playlist with the songs you want on the iPhone?
and maintain a current backup of your computer.

Is this yet another problem with 7.5 or is it just me . . .

Upgrade seemed to be fine, at first . . . now I keep getting distortion on songs. It seems to be quite random and just because a song has been distorted when I've listened to it once doesn't mean it will be when I listen to it again! It's driving me insane. Is this yet another bug or have I done something wrong (apart from upgrading to 7.5).

Hi Emlou,
If you have a Windows based operating system such as XP -
It seems to me that you are suffering what I am having the same problem with - the program takes up to much of your computer's processing usage. If you go into your task manager and watch performance as ITunes runs - you will see how much of the total computer usage it is taking at any given moment - that's why your songs are distorted, slowing, garbled, etc - the usage on mine spikes from 11% - 93% AT ANY GIVEN MINUTE! I have no idea why, but I have found that by going to your "Control Panel" and clicking on Quicktime you can adjust audio output to help. Click the audio tab, click Safe Mode Wavout only (checkbox) / Then adjust the "Rate" to 96kHz / Then adjust the "Size" to 16 bit. Close that and shut down and restart Itunes - it might help a little for you.
Maybe someone out there can help us find out why we are suffering with all the CPU usage trouble and how to adjust that spiking.
Thanks!
Paul

Yet another No Service iPhone 4, second hand

Hi all,
Apologies for yet another topic about the No Service issue on the iPhone 4. I bought a secondhand iPhone 4 16GB 2 days ago after having a 3GS 32GB for 18 months with no problems. iPhone 4 was just over a week old when I bought it (warranty date shows when it was first activated), on the O2 UK network like my old one.
All was fine for 2 days, was receiving and making calls and texts etc with no problems. But since late afternoon yesterday the phone has mostly said No Service. It occasionally goes onto O2-UK but with no bars of signal so calls and texts still fail immediately.
I've tried all of the tips I can find online to resolve this, airplane mode on/off, reset network settings, restore from backup, restore as new phone, hard resets. But nothing's working.
I can take out my SIM and put it into my 3GS, in the same location, and get 5 bars of signal, all my texts come through. Then put SIM back into iPhone 4 and straight away, No Service.
I've made a Genius bar appointment for tomorrow afternoon, but I'm wondering what happens regarding the fact that I'm not the person who bought the phone in the first place? Will this be an issue?
Thank you in advance for any advice about this, was so looking forward to having this phone and now, bleh!

I spoke to o2, they checked my SIM is activated and said they don't need a record of my IMEI number. Still saying No Service so will have to see what the "Genius" says tomorrow!

How do i backup the list of load images automatically exceptions under Options- Content. I want to transfer to another comp without re-adding one at a time

How do i backup the list of load images automatically exceptions under Options->Content. I want to transfer to another comp without re-adding one at a time. EVen if there is no way to backup, what is the system file for Firefox that stores these, so i can transfer this file or open it in an XML or similar editor to copy them out?

The permissions.sqlite file stores 'allow' and 'block' exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, and extensions (software) installation.

Yet another Mac Book Pro (A1211/2.33 GHz) freeze problem

Hi everyone,
I have yet another freeze mystery, if people fancy having a crack at it.
I had this notebook for about 4 and a half years and it served me well until 2 months ago. It is a 15' MBP from December 2008 (A1211) with a 2.33GHz Core 2 Duo and 2GB of RAM.
Now I constantly get lags or freezes while I am using it.It manifests itself via the beachball and a frozen screen. First, I thought it was the hard drive but I replaced it with a tested new one and I still get the same behaviour. The reason I thought it was the HD is that it seems to freeze often when there was a lot of access to HD or memory. For example, firefox would cause a freeze quite often when it was trying to access the cache or history. I get the same behaviour when trying indexing my music for the genius feature. Often when I close applications, it will halt the system for about 2 minutes.
I think the number of lags also correlates with temperature. I am pretty sure that the notebook's heat diffusion properties has deteriorated strongly over the past year as it seems to be using the fans a lot more extensively. The heatsink seems to get really hot these days as well. So my next step would be checking the thermal paste on the heat sink. Before I am going to do that, I want to consider any remaining options as dismantling the laptop up to the heatsink is a bit of a pain.
My gut feeling would be that it has to do either with the memory or maybe some 'bridge' that transfers the data between HD, GPU, CPU and memory. I am aware that bridge is the wrong word and I am simplifying the architecture of the mainboard too much, but I am sure you get what I mean. The data rate between some of those is inhibited.
The reason why I am saying some is that often the system seems overwhelmed by the amount of commands, just sits there and then resumes executing all of them as it had taken a break. This can be easily seen when streaming video in a web browser. I often get the beach ball and my whole screen freezes, but the movie, or at least the sound, keeps running in the background. After a while it usually resumes and shows the movie at the current playing position. Sometimes it doesn't recover, not even after 30 minutes and I have to switch it off.
I hope I provided enough information for you guys to have a think about this.
Any help in this matter would be gratefully appreciated.

Before re-installing the operating system, which might also work, I found this article helpful:
http://macs.about.com/od/usingyourmac/qt/Fix-Spod-How-To-Fix-A-Spinning-Pinwheel -Of-Death.htm
I've followed the directions since they seem to make sense and am waiting for the next Pinwheel of Death. They seem to be saying the same thing you are Chris, but ascribe the problem to 'permissions' which are fixable (gasp) via the OS disc utility.

After I updated my iphone 4 to ios 6.1.3 I can no longer connect to my bluetooth, plantronics model M25. I tried reset all settings after turning on and off also submitted diagnostic. Do I have to buy yet another bluetooth set?

Thank you wjsten for your soon reply. Unfortunately on these days I'm in a country that Apple don't have any retail store here and for sake of time I prefer to fix it myself to DHL it to the nearest country to use its warranty. Do you have any idea how can I fix it? Do you think it's a software issue?
