Z68a-GD55 Overclocking issues (OC settings not working on reboot)

Hi all;
Quick synopsis of my issue - Z68A-GD55 board, I5-2500k chip; overclocking the CPU to 4.2 Ghz, bios version .50 according to Live Update 5 scans. Whenever I reboot my machine, the CPU returns to default settings (Intel quick boost, chip running at 16x multiplier idle, 33x under load instead of 42x constantly). I don't know why the overclocking settings won't affect my machine after reboot. I've tried updating the bios to .60 via Live Update, but it doesn't seem to take. When I look in the BIOS settings, it still looks like my OC settings are there, but the CPU still only runs at 33x. Any hints / help?

Sorry about that; let me try again.

This is what I've tried so far for overclocking settings :
1) Set the multiplier to something close to the base setting; say x38. No Voltage changes. Boot into windows, stress test with prime 95; everything looks ok. Reboot the machine, and the system acts as if the multiplier is still x33, even though the BIOS reads x38.
2) Using the OC Genie to test; this sets the multiplier to x42, CPU Voltage to 1.350 (and a few other settings I don't have access to at work, at the moment). Boots fine into windows, passes prime 95 tests; I've played BF3 for hours at this setting. I reboot, system runs as if the BIOS were back at default.

Z68A-GD55 Overclock Issues after Bios 25.8

Hi all,
I have a PC I built 2 years ago for my son, which was essentially a Z68a-GD55 motherboard, with a Core i5 2500k CPU and a pair of GTX460s in SLI. It's been lovely for 2 years, until my son opted to upgrade the graphics cards to a single GTX770.
The system would not boot with the card installed, so I removed it, booted using the internal graphics capabilities and after a google showing similar symptoms as mine but with a GTX680 decided the Bios needed a flash to the latest version. I can't recall, but I think I was on N70 or something (I declined to take note of what it was - sorry). Anyway, I successfully flashed to 25.8 which seems to be the latest version (aside, the only thing I ever really did on the machine was occasional run Live Update and update the NVIDIA drivers etc - Live Update insisted I was already on the latest BIOS, and I had to hit the MSI site directly to note there was a newer version - odd).
Anyway, the update was successful, although it did seem to utterly wipe my (modest) overclock settings and store profiles. I don't recall exactly what I had, but essentially it was something like a 45/46 multiplier with XMP enabled and no fiddling of any voltage or timing settings. It worked fine. But since upgrading, I have been unable to replicate it in the same way. Whilst I have managed to get a stable overclock of x44 and XMP, it is not reading right in the OS.
The problem I am having is that the clock settings/multiplier/turbo boost/whatever is not behaving as it was before. Before, it would happily drop down to 16x multiplier without load, and associated temps/voltages/fan speeds etc would correspondently drop. But now I cannot make heads or tails of what it is doing with regards to power saving. if I run CPU-Z (latest version as of today) it shows the CPU with a clock speed or 16-44, and the current speed as either 16, or 44, with nothing in between. The Intel Turbo Boost Monitor tool shows it dropping to the bottom, then turbo boosting to 4200, 4300, or 4400, then back down again when I introduce load. The Control Center utility (which is the only way I know of to view individual core clock speeds) typically shows them running at 44x, although occasionally one or more will drop down into the high 30s etc. The worrying thing is that they *NEVER* agree with each other, and even when CPU-Z is showing 16x, Control Center is showing all cores at 44x etc. In addition, after benchmarking the system with 3DMark11, it is now reporting my CPU with a "stock clock speed" of 4.4Ghz, rather than the proper 3.3Ghz that all my old results presented.
I have tried some messing in the Bios, I turned off "Enhanced Turbo" which was never there on the previous Bios version, but I note that the Turbo Boost values are still showing at 37/36/35/34 for 1/2/3/4 cores respectively, which is seems to be ignoring.
The question is, how can I restore a modest overclock on this machine, that utilises proper power saving, and correctly reports CPU usage and capabilities?
Many thanks

Well the OC is working, in fact after some further fiddling I have a base OC of 44x that Turbo Boost reports as being 16-63, and single core boosts have now gone up to 4.9 occasionally, so the speed is there, I am more worried about whether is actually is essentially running at either 16x or 44x constantly, and if not, which monitoring tool is wrong? What's the definitive way of showing per core clock speeds in real time? As it stands it seems as though when gaming the CPU is going to be clocked at 44x permanently, rather than fluctuate properly with load (i.e. the slightest bit of CPU activity bumps it from 16 to 44 when seen in CPU-Z, Control Center has then barely ever shifting off 44x at all, but the intel Turbo Boost Monitor does seem to show the sort of behaviour power wise that I want, albeit as a simplistic bar graph without labelled axis...
If it's stepping up and down properly and just reporting it wrong, I'm happy. If it's genuinely running at full clock speeds essentially all the time I'm not.
I would happily go back to the latest Sandy Bridge Bios (I don't understand what the ME firmware is, but I updated my ME drivers in Live Update from 7x to 9x to no avail) if someone can provide me with the file and instructions.
Many thanks again.

Apple 10.4 managed clients dock settings not working

I have an issues with 3 or 4 of my 10.4 clients all are managed by WGM on an apple 10.5 server. The I have managed dock settings on all apple clients are getting the proper dock settings however I have 3 or 4 clients that are not. The clients that are not getting the dock settings are in the correct computer group. And I don't see any of the clients dedicated in the computer group. And suggestions or tips would be welcome help.

THAT WORKED and all is back to normal.
By the way I did not lose any of the icons on my dock either. All the apps light up under the icon and they now mimimize correctly!!
Thank you very much capfred!!!

Try deleting com.apple.dock.plist from the preference folder located in your user Library.
You can open the hidden library in Finder's menubar, Finder > Go > hold the option key down > select Library.
Edit: you'll have to add back program icons to the dock that you moved there.

Compression settings not working on Premiere Pro CC

I am a freelance editor working for a satellite delivery company. They have specific settings they require for their uplink signals. These setting have worked great on CS5, CS6 and CC2014. However the company is now using CC and these settings create HUGE pixels and the file is unusable. Why do the same settings not work on CC?

You're welcome.

Edge Animate - Issues - buttons/symbols not working/disappearing when in portrait mode on iPad and mobile devices, but in landscape version everything is fine.
Everything works cross broswer on Desktop - Safari, Chrome, Explorer and Firefox - mobile devices prove glichy... anyone else experience this?
It's a regular issue of mine, particularly with complex animations. Symbols disappear

"Desktop & Screen Saver" settings not saving upon reboot.

"Desktop & Screen Saver" settings not saving upon reboot. Settings are always set back to factory default upon computer startup. Need help! Please!

Back up all data.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. You can demote it back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click the following line to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:20 ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ 2> /dev/null
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2
Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
resetpassword
That's one word, all lower case, with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’renot going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

4.3 Update - Car Stereo Issue, voice dialing not working with Bluetooth

I've seen some similar issues reported, but they were for specific cars/stereos, and the symptoms were different, so I'm posting about mine:
Phone: Samsung Galaxy SIII, Android 4.3.
Car Stereo: Pioneer AVH-X2500BT
This is a stereo I bought and installed myself. All of its features worked fine, and I was enjoying making calls using voice dialing via the stereo. Then, I installed the 4.3 update to the Galaxy SIII. Ever since (literally, I made a call that day before installing it, and tried shortly after), I cannot use the voice dialing feature. Any attempt to use voice dialing or voice commands via the car stereo will fail. Here's what happens:
I do a long press on the car stereo's Home button to initiate voice dialing. On my phone, S-Voice starts up, and a Toast (little message) pops up briefly that says "Check in-car audio". When I talk, the little animation on the microphone button in S-Voice does not happen, meaning it's not hearing anything. The car stereo shortly cancels out of voice dialing mode, as though it timed out, or something.
I've tried switching to Google voice, but the same thing happens. I've tried all kinds of configuration on both devices. I've unpaired and re-paired. Nothing.
Also, turn-by turn directions from Google Maps appears to not work. The app thinks it's giving them, and when I turn the car off, the voice suddenly works from the phone, but it just won't come out the stereo.
All other features work fine, including Pandora, and streaming Bluetooth audio. I can even make phone calls, by accessing the contacts and recent call list from the car stereo. The calls work and come through the stereo fine. Literally voice dialing and Google Maps are all that doesn't work.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

There could be any number of factors that may be affecting this, byounie. It may be that the firmware on your car stereo headunit may need to be updated. My direct recommendation to check first would be to access your bluetooth submenu, and next to paired info for the Pioneer AVH-X2500BT, you should see a little cog wheel/settings icon. Please select this, and start unselecting everything available there. Work your way up, and enable and test these different settings one by one, to see if there is a conflict between Google Maps and Voice dialing services. Let us know what happens, byounie.

WDJ - Right click- User settings , not working at all times

We are working on SAP Netweaver 7.4.
We have developed WDJ applications in PO server and are displaying the application in SAP EP using the remote iview method.
Our requirement: We need to show the users , right click ->User settings so that they can modify the view.
Steps taken: The allowuserpersonalisation has been set to True.
Issue:
Not all of the remote WDJ application are showing the User settings.
For e.g: If it is working for WDJ application A, it is not working for WDJ application B.
Here is where it gets more confusing !!!:
If role A contains WDJ application A and role B contains WDJ application B.
then:
1) if WDJ application B is assigned to the role A, then the User settings start working for it
2) if WDJ application A is assigned to the role B, then the User settings still work for it
3) if WDJ application B is assigned to the role C, then the User settings do not work.
Can anyone please help?

Hi,
normal right mouseclick is disabled as of 710 I guess, I assume you mean the ctrl+alt+right mouse click, right?
Also , I am not sure I fully understand your A-B-C example. Can you please elaborate it in a less abstract way? Can you show concrete examples what is not working regarding the end-user personalization? Are all wd java applications running in a non-standalone way when you test end-user personalization?

Synchronize settings and copy and paste settings not working LR 4.1

Recently upgraded to LR 4.1.
The copy and paste settings and also synchronize setttings in LR 4.1 has stopped working.
Rebooted, nothing new added
AMD Phenom II X6 1100T 3.60gh
16 GB ram
64 bit

I am also seeing issues in 4.1 with Synchronize settings. I'll giove an example:
Select all images, change the white balance in most selected image, Click "Sync..." have only the "white balance" check box checked, click Synchronize biutton. All images in that folder appear to have synched, but looking more closely, some of the images did not get the white balance setting applied - this is really random also. Had the same issue trying to sync exposure across all images in a folder - 150ish images.
Never seen this in any version of LR prior to 4.1 - I have had them all since 1.2.
I am running Windows 7 x64 8GB on i7 920.
Hopefully Adobe are investigating this issue.

Same issue Network Discovery not working and Windows Update not working

I've read the threads.
This is a Vista Ultimate upgrade. My OOOOH My I have clocked 8 hours
Everything was working before. I tried all of the recommended services turning on restarting.
Also, ran into the problem of my memory being eaten. Suspected cause hibernate mode, which I had to disable. Scott Hasselman blog recommended the fix which is a cheap work around that limits machines functionality!!
I'm and IT Engineer specializing in MS product lines since Windows 1.0. MFC foundation classes etc.. What is the real problem ?
I don't have the NetBIOS over tcp/ip in my services?
I figure that the cost of my time and other individuals pays for the OS four times over. Give me a Microsoft developer subscription or something to make me happy. This is my development machine and I'm loosing time and money.
FYI, Just upgraded my second machine to Windows 8.1 OMG !!2 Hours to upgrade after the download. I loose my configuration settings. I required to have a Windows Live whatever account!!! This is not the way to compete and keep customers.
Windows XP has been by far the best deployment experience. I need a Knowledge base that gives solutions , not a troubleshooting scenario that does or does not work!!
Please , don't tell me to go and by a OEM Surface I cannot recommend this to my clients.
Thank You

Hi,
If it worked previously, a quick solution is to run System Restore and get back to the previous status when the issue didn’t occur.
What is System Restore?
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/What-is-System-Restore
When you turn on network discovery, do you get any error prompt?
Please check if you have any error message about network discovery in event viewer.
Open Event Viewer
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Open-Event-Viewer
What information appears in event logs (Event Viewer)?
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/What-information-appears-in-event-logs-Event-Viewer
Please use Windows Live SkyDrive (http://www.skydrive.live.com/) to upload the Error logs to a public folder and share the URLs with us.
Also, please temporarily turn off your firewall and all the security programs for a test.
As far as I know, Network discovery requires that the DNS Client, DNS Client, Network Connections, Network Location Awareness, Remote Procedure Call (RPC), Function Discovery
Resource Publication, TCP/IP Netbios helper, SSDP Discovery, and UPnP Device Host services are started and set to automatic.
You should check again if you have started all these services.
Regarding the update issue, I suggest you try the following suggestions.
1. Temporarily disable firewall and antivirus program to test the issue.
2. Open the Windows Update troubleshooter
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Open-the-Windows-Update-troubleshooter
3. Reset Windows Update components

N8 Camera Settings not working

When i go to Camera Settings (either by turning Camera on and going to Settings from Options or by Settings in the Main Menu) the Home Screen or the Menu Screen appears.
Plz resolve this issue as i can not be able to change my camera settings at all.
P.S. Settings is working in Video Mode but i m having issues only in Camera mode

There was discussion about a similar problem on the BetaLabs site (about a N8 Camera beta version).
If you can access Camera settings in video mode then you could tap "Restore camera settings" there.
After that Settings should work from image mode too.
(All Camera settings are set to defaults then so redo any changes if you were not using the default values.)

I hooked my ipod to my computer, went in to itunes and it was unable to commumicate saying i have to up date to 10.4.1 or something??? it has no updates available and ionternet was working and no updates available, other issues it is not working now..

I have hooked up my sons ipod that is about a year old, seems like an iphone 3 style and received last christmas
I tried to add songs on his ipod and it said that unable to perform as i had to update to 10.4.1 or somthing like that. i tried to go to settings, updates and i said that all updates were completed and the latest was 6.3 or something like that6.1.1 ???
anyway there was no update, and during having it hooked up, i tried to locate it with itunes and now it fails to swipe left or right on the screen,
The off button on the top was not working since new. also not sure why this happened but didn't return it as it was a gift and didn't have a receipt.
i can get to settings, and only the first page, it won't scroill up or down, unable to turn off since new, and when swiping to turn on the picture in middle gets a square box around it and then it notices that my finger is on the swipe section and will attempt to open and after a few swipes it will open.
it also appears like the buttons or screen has to be pushed twice to work, but sometimes you have to type or press your selection 5-10 times to have it respond???

Debayer Settings not Working??

I've had a thread going over on RedUser here: http://www.reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?72431-Premiere-Media-Encoder-Render-Tests-Matr ox-CompressHD-Card-Results
Basically in the source settings for any .r3d file in Premiere, you can choose High, Medium, or Low for debayer. I've run tests using High vs Low, and the encode times are exactly the same. I'm assuming something is wrong?! If you use full vs any partial debayer in RedCineX, the full debayer always takes much longer to complete.
Also, another user posted that he sees no quality difference between selecting High vs Low debayer in Premiere.
Is this feature not working??

As it turns out, the Debayer Detail setting in CS5.5 is a subtle sharpening control which has little/nothing to do with debayer resolution:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3845231#3845143
The debayer quality is handled automatically.
This doesn't seem to be documented anywhere, just took me a few days to find (and still trying to find just how the automatic control works). Oh well, it's only been four months!
