Desktop stuck in GroundHog Day time warp

After installing Adobe Photoshop CS2, the Desktop redraws every 70 to 85 seconds and reverts to same original state with Finder pulled to top display level.
I have tried deleting PS CS2 and re-installing -- no change. I've tried re-installing OS X Upgrade Combo 10.4.11 ---no change. I don't know what to do except an archive and re-install OS X 10.4 and then apply the Combo upgrade again. Does anyone know what is causing this Groundhog Day time warp? Is there some easy way to fix it?
I read the topic on "Folders automatically closing" and tried Drew Reese's suggestion to turn off Suffit AVR and that did the trick. Apparently, I did the PS install right after updating QuickTime.
Thanks, I've had this headache for almost two weeks.

No Problem, someone else fixed it, I'm just connecting the dots

Printing address book on day-timer portable page

Anyone have any suggestions for the page layout to print address book to Day-Timer Portable page format? They don't give any options (like Avery 5160, etc). My wife still likes her addresses printed out for her Day-Timer book. The old app that she previously used on her old Mac no longer works on the new OS on her MacAir.

I used to have the Palm Desktop application on my old Mac and that what we used to printout the Day-Timer Portable page format. Of course the Palm Desktop app no longer works on the new Mac OS. I guess if I could get the page layout for that app, I could duplicate the layout.

Syncing with Day-Timer

I've been using Day-Timer Organizer as my address book/calendar for many years. Under Windows XP, it syncs perfectly with my Tungsten T5 over the cable.
I have needed to replace my XP machine with a Windows 7 computer, and have run into an obstacle.
The process of setting up Day-Timer with HotSync goes like this:
1) Tell Day-Timer I want to sync with a Palm Handheld.
2) Tell Day-Timer what I want to sync (addresses, contacts, tasks)
3) Adjust conduits in HotSYnc - tuyrn off the Palm Desktop conduitrs for Datebooik, etc. and check off the new Day-Timer conduits.
As I said, that worked fine in Windows XP. Under WIndows 7, I've downloaded the latest Palm Desktop software (even though I don't use it) to get the current version of HotSync.
ANd here's the problem: In HotSync, the Day-Timer conduits don't appear in the conduit list like they do under Windows XP. How can I fix this? Do I need to reinstall an older version of HotSync? Would that work in Windows 7?

Well Windows 7 hasn't been tested by Palm with any version of Palm desktop to see what will work and what will not work although lots of people have been having success with palm desktop 6.2 (which is the latest version available).
Without knowing the software you are using very well have you checked to see if they support palm desktop 6.2? It could be that they only support up to a certain version that does not include 6.2.
You may have to do testing to see what works if information is not available this would include likely uninstalling 6.2 and experimenting with an older version.

30Boxes weird time warp makes calendars impossible to update

I can't find anyplace else to ask this question, and I think that there are some iCal users here who use 30Boxes for its superior printing capabilities, so I hope somebody here has figured this out!
A school has a web site that has a couple of google calendars embedded in it for an Activities calendar and a Lunch Menu calendar. Works great as a web page, on lots of devices, and lots of folks have it included in their iCals. And the school prints hardcopies of the calendars out each month and posts them on the bulletin boards, and sends them home with the kids. The only problem is that iCal and GoogleCalendar both produce pathetic excuses for printed-out calendars -- they only show the first couple of characters of each event, leaving a big empty square underneath.
Someone here pointed me in the direction of 30 Boxes, and it is a fabulous solution. Google calendars and iCal calendars can simply be imported in, and printed with this program. The code fills up each day's boxes in a totally reasonable way for the printed output, giving a nice useful hardcopy tool. The way that you get the 30Boxes calendar to sync with the main at google is that on the page where you link in the google/iCal calendar there is a spot which tells you when it was last updated, and right next to it there is a little link that says "Update Now" and when you click on it then it fetches the latest data.
Until a couple of months ago when we started having this bizarre problem! Periodically we would go in to update the 30Boxes data, and the "Last updated" time has negative time. And the Update Now link is just missing. The time marches up towards zero -- so it says "Updated -4 hrs 28 mins ago" and then 15 minutes later it says "Updated -4 hrs 13 mins ago" After an excruciating wait for the time to go positive, the "Update now" link appears and the calendar can be updated. Unfortunately, the timing is usually such that the kids have gone home without their printed-out calendars by the time it allows an update.
Also, the event times will sometimes show up off by an hour during this "time warp" period.
It seems to be some sort of time zone problem, as when it happens it's usually either -5 or -6 hours at the beginning, and our time zone is 6 hours before GMT during standard time and 5 hours in Daylight Savings Time.
Has anyone figured out how to get themselves out of a 30Boxes time warp without just waiting it out?

Groundhog day update

Hi,
I recently updated to OS 4.6.1.310 (the most recent available for my carrier). The update was successfull but now everytime I connect the bb to the pc Desktop Manager finds updates for the phone. I let it do the update but after a few seconds of checking no software update is found/needed.
Anyone had this happening?

I'm having the same issue with 4 (so far) of my apps. I updated 1 of them via my iPhone and it still said I had an update to install. Then I had 3 more updates but I did those via iTunes on my computer. On my computer iTunes it still says I have 1 update to install (which I've already done) and on my iPhone app store it says I've got 4 updates waiting to be installed (again, which are already done).
Glad it's not just me having the Groundhog Day feeling!
Unfortunatly for me henley_regatta, it's been days rather than hours and it still hasn't fixed itself for me yet! You might have to pass on some of your patience lessions for me.. when I comes to tech problems, I'm not the patient type haha..

Adobe After Effects CC Time Warp Issues

Anyone on here proficient in After Effects CC? I'm attempting to mess around with time warping to see if I can mimic the slow motion effects of a high frame rate camera, but the issue I'm running into is that when I slow down the footage at a certain point in the clip, it will slow down, but when it's back to real time speed the frames don't match up. And I haven't found a way to stretch out the length of the clip so the frames do match up. Any advice?

You need to read up on time remapping. For example: you have a 30 second clip shot at 30 fps and you want to play a clip at normal speed for the first 10 seconds, then, and heres the hard part to wrap your head around, slow down the next 10 seconds to 1/4 speed to simulate shooting the clip at 120 fps, then play the last 10 seconds at normal speed. The hard part to wrap your head around when you do this is that the middle 10 seconds will now take 40 seconds to playback.
Here's what you do:
Enable time remapping
Note that there are 2 keyframes, one at the first frame and one that is 1 frame past the end of the video (I won't explain why it is there but trust me it makes sense)
Move your CTI to the 10 second mark and set a new keyframe by clicking the diamond in the Keys column in the timeline
Move the CTI to the 20 second mark and set a new keyframe
Extend the length of the composition to one minute and ten seconds (this is some of the hard part to wrap your head around)
Move the CTI to the end of the extended composition and set a new out point for your video by pressing Alt/Option + ]
Now move the CTI to the one minute mark (one minute because the middle 10 seconds is now 40 seconds long so the end of the slow mo section will move from 20 seconds to 1 minute
Select the last two keyframes and drag them to the left until the keyframe originally set at 20 seconds snaps to the one minute mark and the last keyframe is one frame past the out point of the clip
That's all there is to it. Your new modified video plays at normal speed for the first 10 seconds, 1/4 speed for the next 40 seconds, then resumes normal speed. You can check out the speed graph to verify the speed change and even modify the curves so the change in speed is smoothed out, but if you do that you should have decided before you moved the last two keyframes and set two additional keyframes at san 10:10 and 19:20 to give you a few frames to ramp up and ramp down your slow mo.
The thought process is the same no matter what technique you use to change the speed in the middle of a clip. If you want to return to normal speed after the speed change you need to define the outpoint of the speed change and move the outpoint and the end point of the speed change down the timeline for slowing down a clip or up the timeline for speeding one up to return the clip to normal speed.
Now all you are stuck with is how to make the slow motion segment look smooth because you are repeating four frames at a time. Twitter is probably the best tool for this but it is expensive. AE's frame blending does a fairly good job on most video. Some video will not successfully slow down more than 1/4 speed no matter what software you use. Some video will slow down to 1/10 speed just fine using nothing more than Time Remapping. It all depends on the shot.

After Effects Time Warp and reverse

Hi there;
I am a university student and stuck with a project, I normally use photoshop but I am working with short videos in after effects, what I am wanting to do is quite simple, but I am stuck with it.
I have some short clips (30-60 seconds) which I need to reduce in speed to roughly 1/4 - 1/16 speed. They were shot at 60fps, but I need the actually image frames so I cannot play back the footage slower. I also need to reverse the footage. This is what I am doing;
Import movie;
interpret footage;
     Loop;
     4.
New comp from footage;
Time Warp;
     Speed;
          25%
Which turns a 30 second clip into 2 minutes and adds lots of useful frames.
However, I need it to play backwards too, so I hit CTRL, ALT, R (Time reverse layer) and all the footage turns into a single stuck frame!
So I undo that and set time warp speed to -25% - same problem, what is going on? How can I both reverse the footage, AND timewarp it?
I have very little experience in AE, I am normally a photographer
Also, is there a way to export EVERY SINGLE FRAME as .png or targa? Technician has told me that this is "impossible" but then a friend has said that it is possible to export Tiffs from some software? I know that 2 mins at 60fps 720p will be roughly 20Gb of files - just trying to save a software step?

Pre-compose before you reverse.
Setup the render cue and output module to output an image sequence. This is basic rendering knowledge covered in the help files.

Day timer format calendar

Does anyone know of software that can create what you can do with Calendar but in a week at a glance day timer format? IE - a 5 x 7 size with photos on the left and a week calendar on the right?
Thanks!

No I do not - but it sounds like a good suggestion for Apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback

How do I find out what purchases were made on a particular day/time? My credit card has a charge and I didn't purchase anything from APL*APPLE ITUNES?

My credit card has a charge on it for a particular day/time from APL *APPLE ITUNES. The charged amount and date/time of the charge do not ring any bells with me and I don't have kiddos that would be charging downloads or whatever. How do I find out what the charges were actually for? I've tried to figure it out in the iTunes store, but not having much luck. I'm new to this iPhone 'thing". Please help.

SPA9000 and Day time format

Hello,
  in linksys administration guide for SPA9000 the Day time format is defined as Start time:   and End time.
Is it possible to have more than one periods of Day time?
For example lets say i want to define Day time beetween   08:00 and 13:00 and also day time 14:00 until 18:00. Is that possible?
Thanks
KM

Hi Jeff,
  thanks for the reply. Tried your suggestion but it doesnt work. As soon as first end time kicks in thats it. Night time folks until the next day.

HT204074 Is there anyway to override the 90 day timer on a device?

Does anyone know if you can override the 90 day timer on a device? If an another ID is already associated with that device will it still work?

You can't override the 90 days, you will need to wait until it's completed. I think that you can still sync content to the iPad from other accounts via your computer's iTunes (though iTunes match, automatic downloads and re-downloading can also tie a computer to an account)

HT204074 What is the point of the 90 day timer for associated apple ID's?

Why did apple enable this stupid 90 day timer for purchases between apple ID's?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
It's to stop you logging into everyone else's iTunes match/in the cloud account and effectively listening to any music that you want without paying for it..

SBS 2011 Existing domain and the 21 day timer

I will be putting an SBS 2011 server into a Server 2088 R2 domain. There is no Exchange server in this domain.
Will I need to worry about the 21 day timer? From previous experience I believe the 21 day timer is tied to an Exchange server being in the domain. I am asking, because I would like to move the server into the domain and test some things before I start moving
the users into the SBS OUs, and migrating their email from the POP server onto the domain.
Thank you for any info!

No, there is no 21 day issue migrating to SBS 2011 from standard server. Be sure you have restorable backups and are comfortable with moving the FSMO roles and go for it. Here is one guide to the process, and there are others:

Associating device to account (90-day timer)

Because I have a hard time understanding plain english, I'd like to ask a question about the 90 tmer on iTunes Account Device Management.
The Apple white sheet clearly states (or not, in my case) the following.
Note: Removing a device from your Apple ID does not override the 90 day timer. The timer must complete 90 days from the day the device was associated before it can be associated to another Apple ID.
I'm slightly confused so please help me to see this clearly.
I have a computer that is linked to an account. I'd like to Associate the computer with a new account so I can use the "auto download" function with that new account. The current status of the computer shows the following under Itunes Account: Device Management.
Maczilla Associated January 10, 2013 (Remove)
If I click (Remove) now, will I have to wait a full 90 days from when I click the (Remove) button to move that computer to the new account?
OR
Do I wait till the counter reaches 90 days from January 10th? (thus April 10th) Then, on that day, I click (remove) and go into the other account and add the computer to that account?
Thanks in advance...

You can't override the 90 days, you will need to wait until it's completed. I think that you can still sync content to the iPad from other accounts via your computer's iTunes (though iTunes match, automatic downloads and re-downloading can also tie a computer to an account)

WLC 5508 HA-SSO 90-day timer

Hello everybody
We have 2 5508 in HA SSO (212licenses + 50permanentfor the secondary)
it is not clear what is written in the documentations about the 90-day timer
– If the new WLC has a higher AP count than the previous, the 90-day counter is reset.
– If the new WLC has a lower AP count than the previous, the 90-day counter is not reset.
What about same ap count???
let's assume the primary goes down and the secondary becomes active...
the 90-day timer will start (as reported in the docs) and 212 licenses are inherited from primary unit
now for example after 90 days the secondary controller starts nagging messages and the netadmin notices it, he forces a failover to revert back to the primary controller as the primary has no issues (it was just a failover caused by temporary gateway unreachability)
so the primary becomes the new active with its original licenses
The question is :
what happens to the 90-day timer, does it get reset?
if a new failover occurrs will the ap join the backup controller?
is there any way to show the remaining days for inherited license?
Thank you

Thank you Scott
hope I did understand correctly...
after 90d you were not able to access the secondary unit anymore... i assume cli was locked too.. so no manual switchover via cli command... (just unplug?)
you did test a new switchover right?... was the wireless infrastructure still working with config synced with the primary unit?
then you did a factory reset... rebuilt the secondary unit and had again the 90-day timer not zeroed? (looks like the primary controller is totally unaware of how much time the standby controller was online as primary)
sorry for the many questions , cisco's documentation about this is really frustrating and I really can't understand why... if I did understand correctly I think this is a really bad behaviour (imho) at least the counter shoud be meant to stop when primary controller comes back online in standby hot state... reboots often happen cause of software failure and someone may never notice a switchover occurred until the timer is over... and we have no way to know how much time is left for the standby controller...
