iPhone Battery issues (from full to nothing in 4 hours)

You may notice your usage and standby times are identical even though you haven't done anything with your iphone since you charged it fully. They may not be identical but the may be a few minutes or an hour between them. Your battery disappears very quickly indeed and you don't know why. You will also notice that it is contantly interfereing with any landline it close to. This can be a problem in all versions of iphone software.

The reason:

Your iphone is constantly trying to receive informaintion from an exchange server or similar. Even though push is off and you are on manual for everything.

The solution is as follows:

You need to get to the exchange server system admin and find the user. Open the properties and find the Exchange features. Turn off Up-To-Date Notifications by clicking the disable button. Your iphone will still be able to sync with outlook. Click apply and wait for a while as exchange takes quite a few mintutes to update. You should find that your usage stops at the point it was at. You can still go back into exchange and re-enable the Up-To-Date Notifications. However, I have not tested what happens when you next provide a full charge to the iphone.......

Problems with System.exe process on Vista

Huge use of processor and machine almost unusable. If you take the ethernet cable out of the computer, everything is ok again. This doesn't seem to affect the wireless connection. The solution is to turn off the Quality of Service packet scheduler in the network properties.

Deleting shared cells in a Microstation File

When I try to delete a level, the Message Center is stating that the level is being used. How can I determine where the level is being used at?

You can use the key-in: LEVEL USAGE . Where you substitute for the name of the level that you are trying to gather information on. In some cases, the levels may be used by Shared Cell Definitions. You can remove the shared cell definitions from a design file by using the key-in: DELETE SCDEFS ALL.

Microstation MS_REF_NEWLEVELDISPLAY

This isn't quite as straight forward as it seems. If you add the variable mid project, there is a danger that lots of levels will be turned on automatically. In reality , if you are using the save Settings Automatically setting you shouldn't have a problem.

Once added to the configuration file any new levels used or added will automatically appear as ON instead of OFF.

Converting video and cine films to DVD or DVAVI

Colin at Video99 offers the service for conversion to DVD. However DVD is fine for viewing but is not ideal for editing because it is compressed. It is better to get them transferred to DVAVI file format which is the same file type as a lot of digital cameras.

Don't trust BBC video to play in your presentations?

Its a right old pain finding lots of useful video and then having to rely on an internet connection to show others or to use in a full screen presentation.

You can always download flvrecorder instead. Its a nice simple recorder for ripping streamed flv files. Just choose the connection that you use to connect to the internet (wireless or you network card usually) hit record, then play the BBC news article in a web browser.

The recorder will locate your streaming video and save it to a flv file usually located in c:\flvrecordings\. Its a breeze but have to say I have no idea on the legality of this at the moment as these are the property of the BBC.

Free for a month and $35 to buy or $15.95 for a one year licence!

Of course only some of the items on the BBC website are flv files. Other items that play in BBC Media Player can be downloaded using RealPlayer. Play the media file and you'll find a button somewhere on the media player named Download Video. However, this will create a .rm file which to play in anything else apart from RealPlayer. To convert it to something you can use in PowerPoint use:
