Test of Join.me for Remote assistance/Screensharing across the internet

2012/02/15 2 comments
  1. How easy is this? (not a rhetorical question, we will have to try and test):
    1. originator
      1. goes to http://join.me, clicks on share, downloads and installs an Applet.
      2. receives a join.me URL with a session number which he gives to  (best over the phone)
    2. receiver who loads this session URL to view the screen.
  2. What works
    1. from wireless to wired intranet TBA
    2. from off-campus to wired on-campus
  3. What does not work
    1. accurate reporting of remote mouse position
  4. Demo: viewing laptop connected over wireless laptop to desktopjoin-me-test
  5. Test in practice worked flawlessly (with one limitation: it (the basic version?) only shares only your primary screen), when connecting a software reseller 400miles away to troubleshoot, here is the pretest: join-me-pc32-from-home1

How to fix Canon Vixia “Cannot write on card” error when starting recording by initializing

2012/02/15 Leave a comment
  1. To fix this error,
    1. go to: Menu / Function / Tools / Tab: / menu item: Initialize – choose the card slot A or B with the mal-formatted card.
    2. or view how to access the initializing procedure here TBA
  2. To avoid this problem: You may get this error after you the SD card has been formatted in another device but the camera (e.g. on your computer, using a memory card reader). If you are trying to delete footage, initialize the card within the camera instead. This page is taken from the Vixia manual, the full manual you can find linked in our list of bookable resources under Vixia.

Things you can try when having trouble playing video from the internet

2012/02/13 1 comment

There are several things you can try when having trouble playing video from the internet. I made a list here (less would be more, but hey, it’s computers, right?): 

  1. Refresh the web page (f5 or ctrl-f5).
  2. Can you see an error message on the page itself? some video services prevent you from watching video abroad BBC iPlayer used to do this, since it is financed by fees of a local audience – so are ARD and ZDF, but they do not bother restricting by viewer location. However, they assume you are in Germany, and in their time zone, so they restrict you from watching the equivalent of R-rated content during daytime in Germany.
  3. Restart the web browser.
  4. Can your web browser play a video from a different website. Good candidates are Youtube.com (may be HTML5 delivered by now), hulu.com, ARD Mediathek if trying ZDF Mediathek or vice versa). Maybe your plug-in has crashed – try restarting your computer.
  5. Try a different web bowser (chrome, internet explorer, Firefox, safari, opera are all free downloads).
  6. Can you discern a notification bar on top of your web browser window telling you of an error or asking you to upgrade something?
  7. At this point it might be easier to come to the LRC and use what we maintain for you there, or, if you are trying to use your office computer, alter the helpdesk.
  8. Do you have to upgrade your video-plugin? Currently (before HTML5 delivered plug-in free video), most videos are plug-in based. search for adobe flash and MS-Silverlight upgrades.
  9. Do you have to upgrade your browser?
  10. Do you have to upgrade your operating system? your computer hardware? Let’s hope you do not get to here in this list…
