Another question on SD cards.

Hey guys,.

I just bought a 8Gig SanDisk microSDHC card. My question is, do I need to format it before using it for the first time? And how do I do this? When in FAT or FAT32 formatting?

Thank you

SR

A new card should not be formatted. The only time where a card needs to be formatted is if it is not working properly.

If a card needs to be formatted, use the command

Format [drive letter]: FAT32 A:32 K

to format in FAT32 with 32 K clusters.

    Yes, another question regarding the freezing of Safari.

    From a little over a month (I think), Safari started freezing regularly whenever I want to open new tabs or switch between tabs. I found myself to leave the program several times per day / hour. I can't identify any specific common cause (other than my MacBook being old) or any new software or updates that might have initiated the question. At first I thought he might have many tabs, I tried to open, but recently it happens even with only a few tabs open.

    I worked through the steps I found in this forum and others: empty the cache, start in safe mode, etc nothing works.

    Based on the previous suggestions, I have downloaded and run EntreReport which I included below. The note and maybe just a distraction, but EntreReport has crashed three times tonight, before he was able to produce the sub report. I ran the report after restarting my system with no other programs running.

    Suggestions are welcome at this stage because I want to start using Chrome or Firefox because I like the transfer procedure between my devices.

    Thank you in advance.

  • Another Question... Pasted the first album... but does not work properly

    Hello-

    Another question - I stuck my first file (wpa without loss) from the album on my rocket and when I go to him, he travels only (so 1,2,3, etc. and then it again.)  The songs look like they have any length, if that makes sense.  The bottom bar is from 0:00 0:00.  The strange thing is the player will play all music pre-loaded there, and when I tried to copy a song the player on the computer off, he played.  It is therefore not the file of the song itself I guess.

    What I've done wrong? And how to fix it?

    Thank you very much!!  This forum is very useful for a beginner!

    WMA Lossless is not a supported audio format. Which means that it won't work. You will need to re-Ripper in plain ' ol .wma, .mp3, .ogg or .flac format.

    Hi ya'll! I'm still learning how to navigate my way with Lightroom. (Last time I wrote, I got a few responses that work.) Thank!) Now, I have another question. When I try to copy photos to my external hard drive to a CD/DVD, no matter if do leave LR or my car, I get the message; "Disc burning is not supported by LR on this computer." I've tried everything I can think of, so, I thought I'd see if anyone can find out if there is something I can do. Or could it be that my computer just can't handle it? Help! So frustrating!  I have a Lenovo PC, I don't know if that makes a difference. Any ideas? Thanks a lot for your help!

  • Another question about Dates

    Hi, I have another question regarding the use of the field date in Adobe Designer 8.  I have the updated domain in place so that the person can enter the date, lets say, 12/12/11 and it will convert to December 12, 2011, or, the user can click on the calendar that is attached to the date field and make a date selection.  My question is this.  Is there a way that can not only the calendar go to any date by selecting < or >, but can also go to an exercise < < or > >?  We have contracts that extend from 2 to 3 years and want this option to be available.

    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Here is how I currently have my date fields in place.

    In the field section:

    View model: MMMM D, YYYY

    Edit pattern: M-D-AA

    Section of the value:

    MMMM D, YYYY

    Date must be entered as per example, 12 January 2012

    Liaison section:

    MMMM D, YYYY

    The calendar widget allows you to select other years.

    When you open the calendar, click on the name of the month, the calendar will show you every month of the current year.

    When you then click on the year, it shows you all the years of the current decade.

  • Another question of novice!

    Hi guys...

    I had this posted in another question I raised yesterday... so thought that I should probably get a question by discussion

    A year after double view and month appear on the structure folders after you import the photo

    See things like

    Folder Image count

    10 2009

    2009 480 p

    If I import files with the correct creation date year etc... Why LR would create two folders with the same name...

    See you soon

    Steve

    Hi I think I've sorted it... Folder locations are the same as in

    C:\Documents and settings\stemcg\my Documents\My pictures\

    I looked at the link at the top... when I right click on the files and selecetd add a parent folder that it changed the view of annual records being next to each other for example...

    5 2010

    2010 5000

    4 2011

    2011 4096

    It separated like this

    upper part

    1996

    2000

    ....

    2009

    2010 5000

    2011 4096

    My Documents

    My photos

    2009

    ......

    5 2010

    4 2011

    I then right click on the folder with the least number of photos in there for example

    My perso\Mon pictures\2010 I selected update folder location.

    I pointed out the Selection tool in the same folder that is my perso\Mon pictures\2010. Then, he gave me a prompt to merge the files... It merged then deleted the My Pictures folder and added photos in the folder above... it looks like now

    upper part

    1996

    2000

    ....

    2009

    2010 5005

    2011 4100

    My Documents

    My photos

    2009

    ......

    The folders listed under my photos with the count in the records of the year preceding has increased in quantity... IE 2010 went from 5 000 to 5 005 photos...

    result!

    Thanks for the pointers guys...

    (one day I'll have the shot of LR!)

  • Question of GFX - card not supported. Workaround solution? Another question?

    Hello. Forgive this winding post. I have a few things to get off my chest and I don't know which apply here. So please bear with me if you are able. Thank you

    I have a 3.4 ghz core I5 4 and 10 gig RAM processor. I am editing images 25 fps HD in first Pro CC and make effects of Film Grain with Reg universe giant and simple Color Correction using, for the most part, the three-way color corrector and the masking tool. Nothing, I would consider things taxation system, but maybe I'm wrong. I also try to use AE to help speed up things and the hue of the sky etc...

    I have a card Geforce 460 GFX installed - which is a bit old, I know, but I was hoping to get a GPU Adobe's push, as I understand in CC they provided more support for unofficial cards.

    But "Mercury Playback Software only" is the only option available to me.

    I got a graphics card Radeon before, what CC first really seems to support some - but I swapped out for a Nvidia card, because there are other parasites and poor performance - more it made the film (which is compressed. MOV) in a garish way - which has since been resolved with the deletion of the map. In addition, AE needs Nvidia for these features and I assumed that Adobe would like that Nvidia is better generally than until recently, they have only supported for this brand. However, as stated, the transition to the Nvidia GTX 460 has led to send me software only playback, althouh is better than it is with the card Radeon, sometimes jerky and lag. And lasts longer that perhaps it should. Although I put in settings of high quality reading - which I changed before I realized that I was running without GPU support!

    Then... I guess I don't have it optimized for CPU mode and there are a few things I can try if the card does not work, I'm sure. But... I would REALLY like to know if there is a way I can use this card?

    I also posted in After Effects forum, AE is also extremely slow to play my 25 fps HD images. I mentioned what I read some messages in what GPU acceleration is not a must for AE – in which case maybe my problems with that here's something else? But I would really like to color correction in AE! I guess I am amazed at the GPU how last minute seem to be with this software - while I am more accustomed to the game where you can get performance with an old card, and even if she was a little you just launch the game settings below.

    It is the fact it has compressed footage may be to blame in some way?

    Although I felt my way around the first just edit a music video I'm still very new to this software - and particularly the AE - so please forgive me. It is difficult to teach myself when I can't go beyond these obvious lol

    Thank you very much for your help,

    Tony

    Hi there John. Forgive me if I am out of the little relevant in your link, but this page seems not to talk at all, the CC has been written in 2011.

    However, I found a few tips really useful - and rather obvious good sense - on the link below.

    Adobe Premiere CC CC 2014 CS6 CS5.5 CS5 video cards with CUDA Mercury Playback unlock MPE Hack David Knarr

    This page seems to offer a solution for limited Platinum support first offer, by means of a hack... but having read that CC 2014 should provide much more support for a complete mix of GPU I decided to try first a solution much simpler than the site also gives to think... and it worked!

    I updated my video driver NVIDIA directly instead of from the MANUFACTURER's website! I had always assumed you had to go to the manufacturer but, of course, Nvidia are constantly updating the drivers and manufacturers don't bother view their sites! So I was actually extremely outdated drivers installed. I can't believe that this maxim based evaded me so long. He explains back issues I've had as well. But after installing Nvidia CC now allows me to use the mercury with GPU. I am therefore very happy atm.

    Thanks for your help.

  • Adding a RAID card to help speed up the export (and another question reader) in first Pro CC

    First of all, I read the Page Tweakers export section because that is my main concern is. First my questions, then the background and my current and proposed configurations:

    Question 1: Adding a hardware RAID controller, for example an LSI MegaRAID will sufficiently remove the burden of parity management CPU on my RAID 5 software that the CPU will jump of joy and export faster?

    Question 2: If true for above, then compare thoughts on adding smaller SSD for either a RAID 0 or less two RAID 0 volume volume complete HDD RAID 5. In other words, I think the purchase of four Samsung 850 Pro 128 GB SSD to put in a four disk volume to handle everything (projects/media, media, previews, export cache), or split it into two volumes of two disks of each and divide the tasks, or keep the idea of volume four disc and previews and exports on my drive HARD RAID 5 array.

    The 850 are valued at SEQ write: 550 / 470 MB/s so I could get around 2000 / 1500 MB/s read/write to a disk four RAID 0 or 1/2 who, if I divided in two volumes to minimize the volume of read/write at the same time, if it really matters with these SSD?

    The Tweaker page made some comments. A split is carried out the tasks between different drives, rather than a large effective RAID can really slow things down. Because SSDS are much faster than a single HARD disk, I think its more accurate than so I'm leaning towards the configuration of four discs put OS & programs on the C drive, media & projects on media on SSD (2 disks RAID 0) Cache and D (HDD RAID 5), file exchange & Previews & export on 2nd SSD RAID 0 (or combine the two RAID 0 and their functions).

    Just trying to get a point of view here, since I have not bought anything yet. Any experience/stories, I would be grateful.

    My current setup of training:

    My D drive is a software RAID 5 consisting of four 1 TB Western Digital RE4 (RED) 7200 RPM hard drives with CrystalDiskMark SEQ read/write of 339 / 252 MB/s.

    The C drive is 500 GB SSD (Samsung 840 (not Pro) and fact 531 / 330 MB/s.) My OS, Program Files and Page file are on C and media data/files/projects, etc. that are all about the RAID drive.

    Problem:

    Current configuration allows for smooth installation, just export seems slow, usually taking between two and two and a half times the video length to export. Thus, a 10 minute video takes 20-30 minutes for export. 15 minute video can take 30-40 minutes to export. The first 10% of the export of re-encoding takes less than a minute (seems fast), but it becomes slower when the final 10 or 20 percent may hang for several minutes as my system is running out of steam. So, where's the waste?

    I activated the hardware acceleration (because the GPU hack my GPU is not listed) and it can break through to 25% use a few times and eat up to 600 MB of VRAM (I have 2 GB of VRAM), otherwise it is slowed down export set. The CPU can boost at 50%, but it seems either too busy.

    Our calendar is simple with two video and two audio streams (a little music and especially the voices), with simple transitions (jump cuts or cross dissolves). Sometimes, we fast correct color, so that could use the GPU? Also, given that we are filming in 1080 P 60 p and 1080 export 29.97 FPS, I think who is scaling and using the GPU. I know that without the GPU, it takes much longer. I excluded buy a faster GPU because it doesn't seem to be breaking a sweat. I just need to know if my system is a bottleneck at the level of the disk hard because I am using software RAID and my disks are slow and hardware RAID will considerably reduce the processor load so it can export more quickly.

    Our files are not huge in nature. Most of our clips are several MBs each. Total files in the project are between 5 GB and 10 GB for each video with Windows Media File export being 500 MB to 1.2 GB on average. Look using Panasonic Camcorders, so the original files are AVCHD, I think (.) MTS files?).

    Considerations:

    1. I think to buy (and future proofing) a LSI Logic MegaRAID 9361-8i is 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA (because some SSD current can exceed the standard 6 Gbps).

    2. I will not replace my current HDD RAID 5 as not in my budget to spend 6 or more large SSD. These discs are more important to me for temporary storage because I delete files saved once. I don't mind a few smaller SSD inexpensive if they can make a significant difference for editing and export.

    I can only guess my RAID HDD is slow but the CPU is burdened by parity. I guess running RAID 10 would not really help.

    My configuration:

    my configuration:

    CPU - CPU i7 - 3930K @4.5 GHz

    RAM - G.SKILL Ripjaws Z Series 32 GB (4 x 8 GB) DDR3 2133 @2000

    Motherboard - ASUS P9X79 WS LGA 2011

    GPU - Gigabyte GeForce GTX 660 OC 2 GB (performed the hack of compatibility list to activate hardware acceleration).

    Drive C - 500 GB Samsung SSD (programs and Windows 7 Pro 64-bit) 840.

    D drive - four 1 TB WD RE4 enterprise hard drives 7200 rpm in RAID 5 software

    Box - Cooler Master HAF X

    CPU fan - Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO with 120 mm fan

    Power - series Pro Corsair AX 850 watts 80 Plus Gold

    Optical drive - Pioneer BDR - 208DBK

    Thanks in advance,

    Eric

    OK, after overload of information on everything I tried (free), which might be my answer here. I went from codecs to export. When you use Windows Media File, Premiere Pro seems chugging along much slower than when you use the h.264 (not h.264 Blu - Ray). I don't know if it's because Microsoft has found a way to break it or what. But I'm the CPU usage of 70-85% on the 2 Pass of 2 as well as the use of the memory of 40% (or 12 GB). It exported in 14 minutes. Woo - hoo. I then did a similar test using Windows Media File. It took 31 minutes to export. The CPU has spent much of his time in the 30%, especially down in the 1930s mid-1940s with spike for memory usage was only 24% to 35% and 50%. Since then, I've read how h.264 codec is 'plu' for online files. It compresses better with less compression artifacts. He seems better, etc. Well, they both seemed on the same thing for me. I play both on my TV 70 "before I could comment further. In the future, I will consider a RAID controller and upgrade the HDDs to SSDS.

  • Release of subsidy, without the use of another carrier's Sim Card. ?

    I thought that I ask or ask this question, coming from Blackberry in general what you were doing was passing by AT & T, they unlock you in contact with the Dept, they you some inputs enter keys and you got the unlock screen, enter the Code and its been bingo...

    I am planning a trip abroad and want to unlock the phone before making the trip.

    Obviouslly Android is different from Blackberry. Anyone know if its possible to unlock the Atrix2, without having to install an another SIM card from another carrier, is there an enter key sequence that gives you the opportunity to do?

    Thank you in advance!

    I finally received an email from a senior to AT & T about the unlocking process and a process. There is no 'touch' in order to access the unlock window

    You must power down, place another carriers SIM card in the Atrix2 and the power upward, it will present you an Unlock window. When you do that, you enter the code to unlock.

    Gives you 5 chances to do so, otherwise, the phone is locked permanently in the AT & T networkand at this moment it's undoable.

    Thank you

  • Another question about hard drive setup

    Thank you all for the info on PC and installation material.  I have download the first CS4 trial version and it is awesome!  I have one last question? I read the rules for storage and editing platform.

    I noticed in the project settings, as there

    captured video

    Audio captured

    video excerpts

    Audio previews

    And in the preferences

    media database cache

    media cache files

    Correct me if this is incorrect

    Drive a my OS and files in project

    My second drive pagefile and media cache database and media file cache.

    Third disc captured video & audio and video previews and audio previews

    This system uses a combination of DV, AVCHD material.  I would add another hard drive?  I may be using raid 0 for the audio captured video edge.

    No problem. Especially for raid0 configuration, you can easily use the on-board raid functions. No sense getting a controller separated for this card.

  • Satellite L305-S5920: Question about PC card, new use HDD & Win XP

    I recently bought this machine in the mail and on arrival was disappointed to see that it is not equipped with a Firewire plug - I thought that all the machines which had today? Too bad, I thought I'd use my PCMCIA Firewire card. But then I found that what looks like a standard PCMCIA socket has a block to halfway down on one side which prevents a normal PCMCIA card being inserted. Snookered. What is this decision? Not one of my PC cards will go in.

    I then tried, had always been my intention to replace the 160 gb HD with a new 500 GB it and install XP on it. It's a very long story, but it culminates at Toshiba telling me that "this model will not work XP. Someone at - it ideas how to get around this problem?

    Either way, I don't seem to have all the means to re-establish a new HD Vista if/when this one fails. Am I expected to go out and buy, or I missed something? There is no "recovery partition" on the hard drive so there is no way that I can produce my own recovery disk.

    I then tried to play a DVD, to be told that it was the wrong region and could not be played. Quite absurd to place this restriction on laptops - I live in two Americas and Britain - but once again so much worse, I'll just load AnyDVD and continue nevertheless. But no - the carpet * a drive mounted by Toshiba is one of the few that cannot be decrypted.

    Therefore this machine, which works well in its own design constraints, is nowhere near what I wanted and expected it to be. Can someone suggest a solution to all of the above questions? Because I already ordered a different brand which according to me does not have these limits, but it would be useful to keep this as a spare if I can fix it.

    Hello

    First of all, I doubt that there is some design flaws
    Akuma has already said, there are devices that supports different standards.

    In any case, for the first I recommend that you check this Toshiba page we:

    [Satellite L305-S5920 - details-| http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/modelContent.jsp?ct=DL&os=&category=&moid=2241928& rpn = PSLB8U & modelFilter = L305-S5920 & SelCategorie = 3 & selFamily = 1073768663]

    You will find here all the details on this model Sat L305
    In the detailed specifications, you can find the info that this laptop uses the Express Card slot (ExpressCard/34 and ExpressCard/54). You must use Express cards instead of PCMCIA cards!

    You can also install the Win XP I n know not why, someone said that you can not do this strange however, you can install the Win XP and I found XP drivers too! Please visit US!

    The recovery of HARD drive partition is placed on European models of Toshiba. I put t know how it works on Toshiba WE series (perhaps drive HARD recovery is not available on laptops in the United States), but perhaps you need to create the first recovery disk in order to recover the laptop to factory settings.

  • Satellite L350D - 20 d - question about graphics card memory

    Hi on start I want to sorry for my bad language lol

    I form a few days TOSHIBA SATELLITE L350D - 20 d
    I WIN with Vista reinstaling for XPsp3 after 29 hours of blame Microsoft for making Vista. or m.Kin another and another bootUSBpendrive and the mixture of the BIOS setings... succecfull Finally I reinstal system DVD... BUT!
    This may sound strange, but on Vista when I was check my details Graphisc in DxDiag I saw 1 700 MB of RAM... even with the RAM into the motherboard... RAM on the motherboard had 4GB...
    now I have Xp-Windows7(what is XPSP3) but modifited!... I've been using original Toshiba drivers from this Web site. .and I see now...
    My Ram on the card mother down t o 3.5 GB... and graphics card is about 700 MB of ram... I can say WTF...
    IM really not sure if this computer is ABLE to have 1 700 MB graphics card... That's if I remember well AtiRadeon 3100... or sometihnk...
    anyone has the same Toshiba model?... I want to compare the details of the hardware with this one to what I have now on my Toshiba SATELLITE L350D - 20 d...

    Edit:
    resolution, what I have now and it is maximum that I can choose its 1440 x 900 at 60 Hz only :/
    on the site Web of TOSHIBA Germany I see somethink difrente:

    Grafikadapter type: ATI Radeon 3100 Graphics

    I found a small free tool called turn the wide-screen LCD. You can google for it if you want.
    But as far as I know, this tool is only compatible with Win XP and Vista, so I don't know if it will work on laptops with pre-installed m Win 7.

  • Satellite 1410-question on graphics card

    I bought a satellite 1410 401 and I'm having a lot of problems with my graphics card, with images that I see black glitter spots through the moving image (no problems with stills however) (I downloaded the latest Nvidia drivers) which is quite annoying.
    I am also annoyed by the fact that this graphics card doesn't support Pixel shader and that he only has 16 MB of RAM (not shared) my (/are) is or questions: is there a way to get rid of these pesky black pixels and is it possible to replace or update my video card?

    Hello

    I don t think that the black spots are a fault of a graphics card.
    You say you use the graphic driver nVidia. This is not correct. You must use the original graphic driver Toshiba or this unit. What you can find on the Toshiba site. Sometimes to watch certain files avi or mpeg your need a different codex. You can find lots of information on this topic.
    In addition, you can change primary parts (memory, hard disk) on you unit but it of impossible to replace the graphics card.

    Good bye

  • Question about graphics card on Satellite P750 - 15 L

    Hello

    I ve just recently bought this model laptop, my dxdiag tells me it's the Intel HD graphics card but advertising I ve bought said it was 550 GT Nivida, I m wondering if there is some drivers I download so that it can pick up or if I need to contact the person I bought this model and for not not the graphics card in it.
    It is a the i3 and 8gig of RAM just not pick up the graphics. Anyone know where I can download drivers nivida and try it, I just bought today so I can get my hands on the seller and the possibility to Exchange without problem if everything's fine

    Edit: he made only 4 GB of ram an another false idea to add it.

    Hello
    According to specification for laptop, your laptop computer came with preinstalled WIN7 64-BIT HOME PREMIUM which contains all the necessary drivers, including the display driver so please don t worry some drivers. Everything is installed correctly. You can check in the Device Manager.

    Simply continue to use your laptop and to be happy with your new toy. Everything is OK.
