Yet another thread with contacts transfer issues

I bought a new Torch 9860 and tried to transfer all my data from my old Storm II 9520 with the BB desktop manager but none of my contacts made it to the new deivce. I searched these forums and found at least half a dozen of threads with this problem go unanswered and another load suggesting alternative solutions such as BBProtect or Outlook Sync. I am utterly disappointed in the fact that RIM cannot be arsed to put a friggin 'Transfer Contacts' button on the desktop software. Cannot even copy them to my sim or transfer through bluetooth. This is a ridiculously massive oversight from RIM. Please realize that you make phones for business people. Not being able to easily and simply transfer contacts is unacceptable.

In fact now I tried doing it with backup-restore and BBDM came up with this:
Just in case you don't knkow what to look at: tha 'Addres Book' is dimmed indicating that it cannot be restored. I tried every kind of different settings (hence the 3 backups within 10 minutes) but it just doesn't work.
I swear this is the worst experience I ever had with any phone switch, and this is the first time I upgraded my phone with the same companyäs newer model and with the same provider so in theory it should be as smooth as possible.

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.

How crap is that?
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!

Yet another Z3C with WIFI issues...

Hello All, So I am not a newbie in the world of smartphones and today I have an issue with my Z3C which is affecting me since I bought it, not long time ago. The wifi, mostly every 10/20 minutes just stop to work. It show activity in Upload but no activity in Download. Which make me mad as I have a 50mbps internet connection that works perfectly with a Moto X, an Alcatel Idol 2 Mini S, a pletora of Laptops and Smart Devices, and one HP VoiceTab 6. All speedtests show me about 40/48mbps download speed, only the Z3C Download speed arrive to 30/40mbps then drastically goes to 2/5mbps 'til it drops to 0. Now, I tried everything, reset, factory reset, safe mode, different routers (I have 2 home and tried in different restaurants and offices), different sims, no sims at all.. it just don't work. So what I did is to use just LTE that it's of course fast and problemsless BUT why do I have to make happy my carrier when I can use the WIFI of home and office? Is Sony going to pay my plan?

Thommo wrote:
I'm not saying this is the reason but some routers have security and when performing speed tests get sent data which maybe deemed as Malware then the router will block connectivityAgree with you, I already tried it. Disabled firewall, security in general.. I made my routers also open gardens! Imagine... The curious part of that is the other devices works perfectly except the Z3C so cannot be the router or a security setting getting crazy with the Z3C and not with Moto X, Alcatel.. HP, Toshiba.. Samsung... and no, I don't want to think about racism and hate of dLink and Arris (Motorola) against Sony! No no..

IPod Touch (yet another) syncing problem contacts, address book

I have a new 2nd gen Touch 8g. I am trying to sync to my MacBook Pro. Would like to sync all my contacts and calendar info from my old Palm, but that is not my question today. I am unable to sync my Address Book and iCal information to Contacts and Calendar on the Touch. Specifics:
- OS X is 10.5.6
- iTunes is 8.1, recently updated
- iTouch software is 2.2.1, recently updated
- Address Book is 4.1.1
- iCal is 3.0.6
I can "sync" using iTunes. It backs up the Touch. It syncs the music. It doesn't sync the Address Book or Contacts properly.
History:
- At first, I set it to sync the Address Book and Contacts (not Calendar and iCal). It would go through the sync process until "Updating Contacts with..." It would hang there overnight. This happened when there were 200+ contacts in Address Book on the Mac but none on the Touch. I cancelled after overnight hours and found none on the Touch.
- Deleted all Address Book contacts. Now there were none on either Mac or Touch. Still would spin the "Updating Contacts with..." for hours.
- Set iTunes to sync both Address Book and iCal. Added 1 simple contact in Address Book. Added 1 event in iCal. Synced. The sync completed but nothing was transferred between the Mac and the Touch.
- Added 1 contact in Contacts on Touch and 1 event in Calendar on Touch. Synced. Each still had 1 contact, 1 event, but not the same ones.
- Set iTunes to replace the information on the iPod (one time). The sync completed, and erased the contact and calendar event on the Touch, and put the 1 iCal event onto the Touch (yea!) but not the contact from Address Book (boo!).
- Tried multiple more times. I can add a calendar event on the Touch, but it never appears on iCal on the Mac. I can add a contact on the Touch or in Address Book on the Mac, but the two never sync up to show on the other.
Other details:
- I don't use Google Contacts or Calendar
- I don't use MobileMe (or really know what it is yet)
- I did use iSync to try to sync all my Palm info (not successfully), but stopped trying and reset the sync history, just in case.
- I don't use USB hubs, and I do the sync with just the Touch attached via the cable it came with directly into the MacBook Pro.
- I've read hundreds of posts here and elsewhere. I've restarted programs multiple times. I've updated software. I've tried following the advice of all the posts I could, even if they weren't precisely what I was experiencing.
Does anyone have any brilliant ideas as to what I should try next? I bought this thing to replace my Palm as my PDA, but it won't be any good unless I can sync the darn thing. I've been working on this for almost 3 days straight and am going bug eyed reading all the info on the web. ANY help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

I managed to get the sync to work after much shutting down and restarting, of programs and the computer. I cleared the iSync history just in case. I closed programs, etc. Eventually, it just worked and has continued to do so ever since. It is not slow, but rather quick.
All is well.
Now, the conversion from Palm is another story.....

Yet another high cpu using flash issue

Salutations. What I'm about to tell you won't come to you as a surprise as there have been many similar topics discussed here. In fact, on the first page, there were two. So let's get on with it!
hp pavillion entertainment notebook dv6 e2170ee
windows 7 64bit
6gb ram
intel core i7 cpu q 720 @ 1.60 GHz    (never overclocked. don't know how to)
nvidia geforce gt 230m
firefox is on safe mode. kind of better than regular mode.
firefox waaaay better than chrome in handling flash. haven't tried it on ie. don't want to. i left ie8 at version 8
flash hardware accelration is off
firefox hardware accelaration is on
latest flash player enabled
latest shock player enabled
latest flash director enabled
latest firefox
no idea if my vents and cooling system work properly. read several posts about this issue being related to hardware.
i have updated my drivers using hp support assistant, driver detective, and windows update. wouldn't be surprised if there was a conflict with all this nvidia driver as well. went to the site. it detected my model and sent me the driver. had audio and video options in it.
while writing this post, the adobe tab + 4 flash tabs off the same site (youtube, younow, cam sites, etc) are open.
performance tab in taskbar says
flashplayer 15 *32bit (2 processes with the same name but diff cpu usage by the way. why 2?) is using 5%
firefox *32 bit is using 5%
audiodg.exe is nowhere to be found
now firefox and flashplayer keep alternating ofcourse. flash always ends up with higher cpu when everything breaks. i have noticed that even after closing ff, ff and flash are still in the processes table. they stay there for a bit. why?
ISSUE NUMBER 1: i can't play a video and have flash players on at the same time. I'd like to watch a movie and every now and then look to my other screen to see what's going on with the flash site. it can't be done. all is well at the beginning then it goes to hell. i have the latest free version of bsplayer and videolan. Yes vlc handles better but it all goes to hell in the end. sometimes the video won't even show on vlc; only audio
ISSUE NUMBER 2: i don't understand the logic behind the increase in cpu. if i have 6 tabs open all flash all is well. but at some point it just spikes up. so i always try to keep the number of flash tabs as low as possible. sometimes 4 are no issue but 5 are a big issue. sometimes closing a tab helps and sometimes it doesnt.
ISSUE NUMBER 3: audiodg starts using more than 2%. It can go up to 11 or 13 even. That shouldn't happen. I've been told that for it to go beyond 2 or even 3 means there's a conflict. I had trouble dealing with this issue. I don't know what or where the conflict is. So if there's anyone here that's good at this please contact me. Ill post a pic of device manager. For the sound, i have 4 nvideo and 1 idt audio codec. I cdon't know which to disable or uninstall. im thinking of unintalling every audio/video driver i hav and start from the beginning. BUT LETS NOT MAKE THIS ABOUT AUDIO/VIDEO CONFLICT
QUESTION 1: was there ever a time when this issue didn't exist? perhaps there's a "stable" version of ff or flash that don't cause this.
QUESTION 2: ive seen a lot of posts about this but I honestly can't remember any participants saying OH REALLY? ODD, I NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE BEFORE
QUESTION 3: isn't there some kind of tracer that can track the moment that it goes to hell? im sure there is but no one's mentioned it so far
QUESTION 4: would buying a new laptop solve this? I'd like to think not since the issue is flash not the capabilities of a laptop but i can't help but think that a better laptop will fix this. My laptop is 4 years old.
QUESTION 5: i don't know anything about multithreading or multiple cores handling a single process but if someone showed me how, would that resolve my issue?
MY WISH: for flash to coexist peacefully with human beings

Disabling Hardware Acceleration in Flash means that we're doing all of the processing on the CPU, instead of on the GPU. The GPU is purpose-built for 3D graphics and video decoding and is far more power efficient. Decoding H.264 video in software is very CPU intensive, which is why we made the huge investment to enable hardware acceleration on the vast majority of available desktop hardware. Running six CPU intensive tasks simultaneously (which is what you're doing by using six simultaneous tabs) is unsurprisingly going to tax your machine.
If you've disabled Hardware Acceleration because video wasn't working right or something, figuring out how to get that enabled (or moving to better hardware with good driver support) would solve the vast majority of what you're describing here. If HP doesn't offer updated drivers, I'd recommend trying the corresponding Nvidia drivers, as OEMs aren't always motivated to pick up the latest fixes once a model is no longer generating new revenue for them. The chipset manufacturers tend to provide longer support, but those drivers aren't officially supported by the OEM.
The architecture for Protected Mode for Firefox is a result of the fact that we've retrofitted a modern plug-in security approach to a legacy plug-in architecture. As you've noticed, equivalent sandboxing in other major browsers is designed into their plug-in architectures, and is therefore more efficient. We've made huge investments to support modern security architecture and always do our best to accommodate efforts from our partners in the browser space to further secure the browser. You can find a detailed explanation of our approach to Firefox here: Inside Flash Player Protected Mode for Firefox
Firefox controls the instantiation and destruction of Flash instances. You'll also notice that Firefox hangs out for a while after shutdown. This is something that we're aware of, but it's beyond our control.
Flash doesn't have much to do with audiodg, except for the fact that it generates sound and uses the windows sound subsystem. This article seems to present some reasonable advice in resolving issues with high CPU consumption from the sound subsystem. Fix Audiodg.exe High CPU Usage in Windows 7 | Windows EXE Errors
Hardware accelerated video encoding is typically not available on consumer-grade hardware (primarily because of the difference in licensing models for encoding and decoding with popular commercial codecs), and therefore is done on the CPU. The particular website chooses what codecs and bitrates are involved, and higher quality feed will consume more CPU. It's also worth pointing out that not all video can be decoded in hardware. We provide clear guidance to content providers on how to encode video so that it can be played back efficiently, it's ultimately up to the content provider to follow that advice.
So, long story short, each tab consumes resources. Running a single tab is going to use less resources than running multiple tabs. The latest version of Internet Explorer does some stuff to reduce resource consumption in tabs that you're not actively looking at. We're discussing possibilities with the Chrome folks for doing the same thing in Chromium-based browsers. Mozilla isn't interested in investing in browser plug-ins, so we don't expect to see the necessary browser-side improvements there. The Chrome sandboxing model is more efficient that protected mode for Firefox, so tasks that require moving a lot of data (like streaming video) may use less CPU in Chrome.
To answer your questions specifically:
1.) There was a time before we supported multiple tabs, webcam streaming, H.264 video decoding and modern security sandboxing. I wouldn't recommend using those versions.
2.) There are a few posts about this, but we have ~1.5 billion users. The majority of the very small number of folks relative to our install base are complaining their machines are overheating, which is a symptom of an ineffective cooling system.
     There's nothing magic about Flash that causes it to somehow superheat the CPU.
     There was a time before tabs, where people didn't normally run 5-50 browser windows. Websites also got much more complex, and the security threats got far more serious and complex.
     Playing video as a plug-in in the browser as opposed to something like VLC is inherently less efficient, as pretty much each pixel and packet gets passed through the browser before it gets to the OS or drivers.
     All of these things require additional processing. The resources on your computer are still finite, and there is an upper limit to the number of simultaneous tabs you can use.
     At some point, you come to a juncture where you need to decide between throwing more hardware at the problem, or using less tabs simultaneously.
     Also, most laptops have power saving CPUs, so they'll ratchet the clock speed down to save battery. You might want to check your power settings to make sure you're running at the CPU's full capacity when plugged in.
3.) Not that would generate anything really useful.
4.) Possibly. You actually already have a multi-core machine. I think you'd get more bang for your buck by enabling hardware acceleration and switching browsers.
5.) You already have a multi-core machine that we support.
Your Wish: We're constantly addressing security issues identified through our own testing, emerging research and intelligence from our partners in academia, government and industry. We're also looking for opportunities to tune the player, but the reality is that Intel, Nvidia and ATI (and a long list of others, in addition to Adobe) have tuned Flash Player extensively for their hardware. We work closely with the Internet Explorer and Chrome teams to continue to make the Flash experience better, and are always happy to work with the Firefox team should they decide that they're interested in plug-ins and the desktop browser again. At the end of the day, Flash is just a low-level runtime. It's just as possible to write inefficient ActionScript as it is to write inefficient C++, and while we provide some fantastic tooling for profiling your Flash content, it's up to individual content providers to write efficient code. It's really difficult to find opportunities to make generic optimizations that don't break a percentage of the hundreds of millions of sites published with Flash content.
I'm actually still not clear on what the problem you're experiencing is. All software running on your machine that's actively processing something is going to use a non-zero percentage of CPU time. The symptoms you describe indicate that Flash consumes 5% of the CPU, which is totally reasonable. I'm guessing that I don't have the complete story.

Help with file transfer issue

When importing a music file from my computer, Itunes does not transfer the file complete, but rather separates songs from the album. I end up with several files in itunes, all from the same album. It seems that the ones seperated are usually songs that "feature" other artists.

Yeah this is a common issue, what you need to do is highlight all the songs that are suppose to be under the same album and make sure the Album title is correct and the Album Artist is correct. If not you will want to change it so it is reflected correctly.

Yet another 10.5.3 Permissions Issue

Howdy.
After updating to 10.5.3, my iTunes library, which is located on an external drive, claimed i did not have permissions to say, download new videos or podcasts and what not. After some research, I found that Changing the permissions on the iTunes Library Folder tends to fix the problem. My issue is that I cannot change them. At all. When I "Get Info" my external drive, it shows that My account has Read/Write Access, but the User "Everyone" Has only Read Only privileges. The lock next to this box is greyed out, and clicking on it does nothing. There is a box at the bottom that reads, "Ignore Ownership on this Volume," and it is checked, but I cannot uncheck it; again, greyed out. Any way to force a permissions change to this drive? This only seemed to happen after updating to 10.5.3 through Software Update. The only thing I haven't tried yet is reinstalling 10.5.3 from a Combo Updater.

When you open the Get Info window for the drive you should see a lock icon in the lower right corner of the window. Click on it, and you should get a dialog in which you authenticate by entering your admin password. You should then be able to uncheck the box to ignore permissions on the drive. Normal drive permissions are:
system with r/w privileges
admin with r/w privileges
everyone read-only
If the drive is only used for data storage you may see different default users such as yourself rather than system with r/w privileges.

Yet another iCloud with multiple Apple IDs question

I have a Mac, iPhone 3G, and an iPad 2. My wife has an iPod. I have historically synced via the desktop, and my music, calendar, contacts, etc. have shared just fine. I have a Mobile Me account which may or may not be doing anything for me. I understand it's going away anyhow.
Two of my devices share the same Apple ID, and one has a different ID. I don't know what my wife's iPod has for an Apple ID. One of the Apple IDs is a @me.com address.
I have set things up for iCloud, trying to have my calendar, photos, etc. come alive at once like they do in the commercials. After hours reading others' frustrations on here, I still am unsure how to proceed.
I can't change my @me.com AppleID because that is apparently against the rules. I can't add my other email address as a secondary address, because I am informed that that address is already verified as being in use (of course it is, by me). It won't let me change my other Apple ID to an @me.com address because that is also apparently against the rules.
Is there ANY solution that let's me keep syncing my music, plus let's me sync my calendar, contacts, photos, etc. in the Cloud? I don't want to lose any of my current information.

Thanks for the quick reply. I don't think it helps me.
My Mac and iphone have the same Apple ID. I innocently created a different AppleID when I bought my iPad. ([email protected]). I want them to sync automatically. They don't because they have different "clouds."
I don't want to have to log in to sync everything. If that were the case, I would just go on syncing every night via the Mac. Is there a way to get to where my iPad syncs with the other two?
Am I missing something simple here?

Yet another customer with Photoshop CC crashing on opening!

Hi
Photoshop CC keeps closing as soon as it opens on my PC. I have installed, uninstalled and reinstalled over five times since starting my subscription to CC two days ago, to no avail. I have thoroughly cleaned my PC, followed all the advice I can find about resolving the problem, but no luck. There have been a couple of variations: the aspp has opened and then asked if I wish to migrate my CS6 setting to it - I have tried both options, but the app just closes. I also manage to open a photo ready for editing. but as soon as the photo appeared in the editing window I was asked if I weanted to svae it and the app then closed.
I am at my wits end and increasingly annoyed with Adobe. Can anyone please help before I am faced with the inevitable choice of cancelling my subscription?

Hi Jeff
I spent about four hours today in discussions the Adobe Technical Team trying to sort out the problem. There was no standard solution and the issue was about to be escalated when a solution was found by Syed Faraz on the team. I have just been testing its robustness and so far so good.
Unfortunately I have no idea what caused the problem as my desktop was temporarily taken over. However, so far4 so good and I was much impressed by the patience and determination shown by Mr Faraz.
Nevertheless, many thanks for your offer of help.

IMac either or has been remotely accessed, has malicious code, is hacked and/or all of the aforementioned or something that I have not yet researched. With my health issues, my Mac keeps me from thinking about the pain and disability I have. Thank you.

Hello,
I'm giving it one more chance and then Mac goes into trash. My iMac is either remotely accessed, perhaps malicious code, hacked and/or all of the aforementioned. I am not savvy in these areas. Please read some of the many symptoms and if you can assist me -- I am beyond grateful. If you want to say it is my fault because I allowed somebody to use my computer or other nonsense please do not waste my time or yours. This is serious and has been going on for a period of time that is longer then I can remember!
I have a neighbor, lives in my apartment building, 'had' physical access to my iMac. Shortly after this I started to have problems that beyond any nightmare I have ever heard of - whether it be Windows or Apple! Please feel free to ask me any question(s) that might help me rid my iMac of this malicious act as the police have been useless -- say they do not have equipment to check my Mac. FBI can't b bothered.
It is more then clear that a person(s) has access and has messed up the OS, among other terrible things. He took over my Facebook account months ago, posted as though he was me. He also prevented me from getting back into FB and Yahoo to close those connected accounts. Went to an Apple store, under protection of their router and removed FB/Yahoo accounts. The pages that were showing at home turned out to be fake pages controlled by him. (Think they are called "defaced").
Anytime I did a 7X or zero out clean install -- he was there before I even hooked up the router!!!
It came to a point that I can no longer even get to the erase/Utility/install from my apartment so I took it to Apple more then once. Besides erase/install, I turned off ALL Sys Preferences that could alert him to Mac. The last time I received a gray Install CD and was told to take it out of the building and do another erase/install. There is no sense of going through this until I know if/how to get rid of him.
Also when I first sign on I ALWAYS get a 192.168.100.11. I do NOT have a router. I then go to System Preferences to Network and click "renew DHCP" several times before I get an IP addy! I am not savvy in this area but do feel that this is a major clue.
Passwords have been changed, master password is not something I can access which prevents me updating, etc., etc.
I will not bombard you with every detail as that would take several pages. I am beyond desperate. Will be happy to provide further details to serious responders only.
Thank you.
'REQUIRE ASSISTANCE'
Heartfelt sympathy to the many family members, friends, people who loved Steve Jobs even though they never met him -- RIP Steve. You are missed.

If you really believe that your system has been compromised, here's what you do:
Disconnect your Mac from your cable modem;
Back up any documents on your system that are important to you;
Boot your Mac from the system installation disks that came with it (insert the disk, restart your Mac, and hold down the "c" key until you get the "spinning gear" icon);
Choose a language and click the arrow button to continue;
From the Utilities menu, choose Disk Utility;
In Disk Utility, select your computer's hard drive;
Click the "Erase" tab;
Click the "Security Options" button and select to have it overwrite all the data on the hard drive;
Click the "Erase" button and allow it to process;
Once the "erase process has completed (it will take a while), reinstall Mac OS X.
Or, if this is too much for you to accomplish on your own, take your system to an Apple Store and have them help you perform these steps. If your system was indeed compromised, this will remove any such hack. You can then set up a new user account for the computer, reinstall your applications (reinstall only from original disks or downloads from the company making the software) and documents, and reconnect to the Internet.
Note that when you reconnect to the cable modem, you may still get an IP address starting with 198. This is normal with some cable modems and probably not a cause for concern. It will not be an indication that your system is still compromised; that will not be possible if you perform all the above steps.
Regards.

Yet another user with "grayed-out" music

I've recently switched to new mac. I guess i didn't sync iphone properly because all my music is grayed-out and not on my mac. none of it's itunes purchased, it's all non-replaceable non drm recordings. where did they go? why can't i play it through itunes when i connect my iphone? is mac really that user-friendly?! seriously, any help would be much appreciated.

Hey thanks, Turingtest2.
This is probably the wrong place to address the grayed out symbols.
A screenshot isn’t even essential to describing the phenomenon: Its the gray dashed circle symbol alongside the playlist
& the tunes themselves may be grayed out. As though it needs to stream or download. The symbology is fairly new & I haven’t found an explanation or key, which should be my first plan of attack.
The music now grayed out USED to be on the iPad/iPod devices & most, if not all were purchased via iTunes. A few may have some off my own disks. Also, I used to keep some music files in AIFF on an older gen iPod & I don’t think those are well supported on iOS, if at all any more.
Perhaps that’s part of the picture.
Background: I was trying to pare down an overburdened iPad that had all sorts of odd bits of music - stuff I broke up to learn to play the passages & myriad other audio files off recorders, etc that really are just storage on my mac, but were inadvertently copied to the mobile device. Anyway, the iPad is nearly maxed & cleaning the library to just selected music.
I also see that other people are experiencing issues similar to mine & right or wrong, attributing it to a glitch in iTunes 12 & the iOS.
Its really not pertinent to this old thread, I suppose. I have a slightly more detailed post of my own on the forum as well. I stumbled on this thread while trying to research similar complaints & missed the origination date.

[yet another] problem with proxy

On my PC, sometimes I am connected directly to the Internet and sometimes via VPN. In the latter case, all Internet traffic goes via http/https/socks proxy. In either of these situations Skype works well, but...
The is a problem when I disconnect from VPN, that is:
1. I am connected directly to the Internet
2. Skype is working well
4. I connect to VPN
5. Bang...Skype gets disconnected and does not manage to re-connect
6. I re-start Skype and everything is OK (that is, Skype starts working via proxy)
Funny thing is, that in the opposite direction (when I start Skype while connected to VPN and than disconnect the VPN tunnel), Skype manages to detect this (probably because the VPN network interface goes down) and re-connects automatically. However, it cannot re-connect automatically when VPN tunnel is established.

finally ive got some one suffering in same problem.
hei buddy me also having the same prob.
i use cakewak for recordings
during recording there is no prob
but when i play the tracks my new recorded track started to get faster then the previous track
as i play guitar on the basis of drums track
after a min it is no more on beat
its beame half socond faster
havent you solved your prob yet???

Well yet another day with Arch.

No one here is responsible for your system, or can guarantee anything.
And what if your desktop manager don't load after installing it?
No big deal, you would only have to install back the old driver from console and thats it. If you find that uncomfortable, then I think you are using the wrong distro.
Use common sense:
If catalyst-utils and mesa-libgl conflict, and is asking you to uninstall mesa, it means you already have mesa installed, right?
So, if your system has mesa, and your system is working fine with it, then what option you should choose for lib32-libgl?
1) lib32-catalyst-utils 2) lib32-mesa-libgl 3) lib32-nvidia-304xx-utils
4) lib32-nvidia-utils

Yet another iSync/10.4.3 issue

Hi people -
I see I am not the only one having probs with iSync (by a long shot!) - mine is this:
- I experienced, like so many others, that the upgrade hosed iSync, which began to crash on launch. Now, I have read something about resetting devices by way of a lot of steps but I have no desire to do so; there are just some things on my phone (Sony-Ericsson T610) I do not want to mess with - so my approach was "the other way": Erase and reinstall iSync, V2.1.
But no-no, the installer keeps thinking I have a newer version installed and refuses...
There is not a trace of iSync anywhere I can find but the system thinks it's there - so much so in fact that it claims to be able to sync from the System Settings>.mac-pane (and claims the update was in fact performed via a "latest update" date and time).
But maybe this way it doesn't actually use iSync at all?
So what do I do? Can I sweep whatever file it is that convinces the system of iSync's presence, and if so, which one and where?
(BTW - the iSync icon in the menu bar is also still there, I cannot remove it since it's enabled from the iSync>Preferences menu - why does it not go away when the application is gone?)
Hoping for help...! :o)

The Sync Status icon in the menubar also reports the status of .Mac Sync, and can be disabled by launching System Preferences, selecting the .Mac pane, pressing the Sync tab and unchecking the option to Show status in menu bar.
With regard to removing iSync 2 or later, send me an electronic mail message and I'll reply with a copy of iSync Uninstall, a utility to completely remove any version of iSync. Originally intended to remove the initial beta release before installing iSync, it works under Mac OS X 10.4 and later, but has been removed as a download from the Apple software downloads area.
You'll then have to either perform an archive and install of Mac OS X 10.4 or use Pacifist to extract and install iSync 2 - which is otherwise not available as a package - on your original Mac OS X 10.4 Install or Upgrade DVD. You can then update it to version 2.1 using either the Software Update mechanism or the downloadable iSync 2.1 updater, then reapply the Mac OS X 10.4.3 Update to update iSync to the latest version.
