Skype using High levels of RAM over time

So recently i've noticed that Skype has been using increased levels of RAM over time. Before i think 7.1 it sat at a steady 170k or lower but since the recent update, it seems to scale all the way up to nearly using 80% of my RAM after being on for an hour. Is there a reason this happens or is it a memory leak issue?

Hi,
I'm having the same issue as you.
For my situation, with Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit, with 8 GB of RAM available, Skype use randomly from 400 Mb to 1.5 Gb of Ram slowing down all the PC..
I have to kill the Skype process for working well.
My SKYPE version is 7.3.0.101.
I need to resolve this problem (and, from my point of view, uninstall the newest version and install the older one is not a solution)
Thanks in advance
Andrea

Using High-Level API, need to use KeyRelease just for Lists

I'm coding a MIDlet with High-Level API, but I found that is really annoying to press down 30 times in a long List to reach the item you want to select. So I thought "what about pressing right/left and make it working like pressing down/up like 10 times"?
Something like this:
Canvas canvas = new Canvas() {
         public void paint(Graphics g) { }
         protected void keyPressed(int keyCode) {
            switch(keyCode) {
                case -3:mylist.setSelectedIndex(mylist.getSelectedIndex()-10,true);break;
                case -4:mylist.setSelectedIndex(mylist.getSelectedIndex()+10,true);
      }; // end of anonymous class*/But I have no idea about how to implement this =(

first of all, is there any particular reason you want to stick to the high-level API?
Well, I have already nearly 700 lines of code. I don't want to start from 0 :P
I think the best way to implement this would be to use customItems so you can control the view of the list.
I think that requires MIDP2.0 I'm trying to make it work in MIDP 1.0
The best you could do with high level UI is add navigation Commands to the List.
I have already 2 Commands per List. Not all phones have a button in the center of "cursors", so I use right button for select and left for back/exit.
Thanks for replies anyway

Using chart to track changes over time

Hi, I'm monitoring the progress of recovery from injury and need to analyse changes in grip strength over time. I would like to use a chart with grip strength on the Y axis and time along the X axis.
Unfortunately, the records were not taken at regular intervals, so the chart resulting from my data gives a misleading visual of progress. For example, my dates are sometimes one week apart, sometimes two, sometimes four.
Is there a way to get the time intervals to scale properly? That is, at the moment each date is at an equal point along the X axis, regardless of how long between the two dates (3 April, 14 April, 28 May and so on). What I want is for those dates to be separated along the X axis in equivalent proportions to their relationship in time (thus 3 April would be much closer to 14 April, than 14 April is to 28 May).
My only thought is to manually extrapolate the "missing" dates and guess the grip strength on those dates. Unfortunately this will defeat the purpose of the exercise. Any help most gratefully accepted, thank you!

An XY scatter plot (third from the bottom) will preserve proportions on both axes. Connect the points with (straight) lines for a broken line graph.

Skype using high CPU

I have a Windows 8 computer that I've had for about a year. I've had skype on it ever since. Just recently skype is taking up 90% - 100% of my CPU. Any help?

i can not believe thaat microsoft isn't fixing this problem, my skype after newest update went bezerk, loading my hard disk with 99% usage, my laptop(win8.1) goes almost freezing, slowing down to a point i cant do nothing. My hard drive led is not even blinking to suggest my hard works, no, the led diode is always on, he is writing something non stop! the moment i close skype(must use alt ctrl del, end task) my laptop goes back to original state -wich is fast! hard drive goes to 0%. doN'T send me messages like uninstal new skype and then instal SkypeSetup_6.1.0.129.msi because i simply cant. It chrases down every time i enter user name and password, i did all %appdata% erasing....nothing helps. This problem i have is on my 2 computers, my mothers pc, and my gf's pc, so i would imagine skype has big problem on their hands. I just cant believe such a big company, specially now with microsoft would allow their users to expiriance this problem. Skype used to be so good, now it has multiple log in options, it uses CPU more, it's slow...now it does not even work!!! I demand answer!

Is there any advantage in using Vault over Time Machine?

Hi all,
Yesterday I imported around 6000+ pictures from iPhoto and consolidated them into my Aperture library. After much re-organisation into projects, folders etc. I decided to update my backup Vault to preserve all my hard work. The Vault is located on a connected external drive with plenty of spare storage. I had previously backed up successfully to the vault when there was only a few dozen pictures in my library.
After initiating the Vault update process I then left it to get on it (and to have dinner and then watch the football...) and after several hours was dismayed to find that the process appeared to be stuck at just over 50% completion. It was obvious that no further progress was being made.
I was also concerned that there appeared to be no mechanism to cancel the process and the only course of action I could take was to apply a Force Quit against Aperture - not something that I care to do, if I can possibly avoid it.
After a rudimentary search of this community I saw that several others had experienced the same problem - although some suggested that a fix had been applied in recent versions (although I am running the latest version).
Given this, I'm reluctant to use the Vault again - particularly as there appears to be no means of cancelling a stuck job. I do however use Time Machine, so my questions are:
1) Do I really need to use Vault if I have Time Machine making regular backups of my Aperture library to an external drive?
2) Does using Vault give any advantages over Time Machine?
3) Is anyone else experiencing this problem with the current version of Aperture (v3.3)?
4) Is there anyway of cancelling a stuck Vault update other than the sledgehammer approach of Force Quit?
Thanks in anticipation,
Simon.

SImon,
Vault and Time Machine address different needs. Probably you will want to have both.
The advantage of Time Machine: incremental backups of previous versions, very compact storage. And you can integrate it into your regular backup of the whole system and include the regular masters as well. But the disadvantage: Time Machine decides for you, what will be deleted, if the backup drives get full. You do not have control over what will be saved and what not from the previous versions.
The advantage of vaults: You can make full backups of your library for well defined moments in time - snapshots of important states. I'd create a vault, whenever I make a major upgrade of the system at least.
Is there anyway of cancelling a stuck Vault update other than the sledgehammer approach of Force Quit?
If the graphical user interface is unresponsive, like when updating a vault, you can use the Terminal to send the "termination signal" to Aperture: Sometimes this will succeed, even if the "Quit" button does not work:
Look for the Process ID of Aperture in the Activity Monitor (launch Applications > Utilities > Activity Monitor" and click the CPU heading. This will bring Aperture close to the top of the list. Make a note of the PID number in the first column, in this case 66550.
Launch a Terminal window and enter the following command:
kill -TERM 66550 (insert Aperture's PID instead of 66550)
This will send the "Software Termination Signal - TERM to Aperture, the same as pressing the "Quit" button should do, but send it directly, and not from the GUI that is unresponsive. This way I always succeded in cancelling a vaul update without force quitting. Not all processes can be terminated this way, however. The Terminal.app is also in the Applications > Utilities folder.

HU03 going to short dump for handling unit which has higher level handling

Hi,
I am ABAPer, i working on issue, HU03 is gong to short dump. i dubug the t code and find out that particular handling unit has higher level handling unit. I checked another handling unit which won't had higher level handling unit, that time it's not giving dump.
Note: in HU03 T CODE, function module V51P_HU_CONTENS is fetching values. when ever handling unit has higher level handling unit, it's not fetching further values.
venkey

Hi,
Goto NACE transaction code , there you select the application area then it will give you the list of output types then select specific output click processing routines then you will see the program name and script used.
Or esle goto SPRO tcode then you can find the functional tab there also you can get the details.
Thanks,

Cumulation of lower level item prices to higher level items

Hi,
We have a specific requirement that we use high-level materials that is not relevant for pricing and lower level items connected to higher-level item that are RA and billing relevant. How do we modify the pricing procedure to cumulate (roll-up) the lower level items to higher level item which is not price relevant but statistical value should be updated at this level for billing purpose.
We want to achieve this using/modifying only pricing procedure and not via user exit..
Request SAP experts to provide some inputs to this issue..
BR/Rajasekhar

Hi rajsekhar
But generally if you want to transfer the cost of the sub item to main item then you can check the box Cumulative cost in copy control VTFL . But your requirement is quite opposite .So you need to go to assign a New Reqt / Alt calc type to the cond type , telling that the header item cost which is not relevant for pricing has to be transferred to sub item .So you need to integrate with the ABAP'er to give inputs to him and giving our requirement also

Example using low level API POI for generating Excel??

Hi
is anyone know good URL that teaches generating Excel using low level API using Apache POI?
The reason is because i want to set the password for either workbook/sheet in high level API but it cant be done.
the only thing can be done using High level API is protect sheet without password.
Any idea?
Thanks

I have a mid2009 MacBook Pro for which I have been using a USB WD HD for Time Machine. I'd like to get a wireless HD and start a new Time Machine backup for this Mac and retire the 5 year old WD drive. Can I start over?

I have a mid2009 MacBook Pro running Mavericks for which I have been using a USB WD HD for Time Machine. I'd like to get a wireless HD and start a new Time Machine backup for this Mac and retire the 5 year old WD drive. Can I start over?

no archive/ backup is perfect, HD clones can be set to make incremental additions, same as time machine however, though they are more time involved in doing so.
See the + and - of all data backup/ archives below and "spread it around".... or the "dont put your eggs all in one basket" philosophy.

Data Storage Platforms; their Drawbacks & Advantages
#1. Time Machine / Time Capsule
Drawbacks:
1. Time Machine is not bootable, if your internal drive fails, you cannot access files or boot from TM directly from the dead computer.
2. Time machine is controlled by complex software, and while you can delve into the TM backup database for specific file(s) extraction, this is not ideal or desirable.
3. Time machine can and does have the potential for many error codes in which data corruption can occur and your important backup files may not be saved correctly, at all, or even damaged. This extra link of failure in placing software between your data and its recovery is a point of risk and failure. A HD clone is not subject to these errors.
4. Time machine mirrors your internal HD, in which cases of data corruption, this corruption can immediately spread to the backup as the two are linked. TM is perpetually connected (or often) to your computer, and corruption spread to corruption, without isolation, which TM lacks (usually), migrating errors or corruption is either automatic or extremely easy to unwittingly do.
5. Time Machine does not keep endless copies of changed or deleted data, and you are often not notified when it deletes them; likewise you may accidently delete files off your computer and this accident is mirrored on TM.
6. Restoring from TM is quite time intensive.
7. TM is a backup and not a data archive, and therefore by definition a low-level security of vital/important data.
8. TM working premise is a “black box” backup of OS, APPS, settings, and vital data that nearly 100% of users never verify until an emergency hits or their computers internal SSD or HD that is corrupt or dead and this is an extremely bad working premise on vital data.
9. Given that data created and stored is growing exponentially, the fact that TM operates as a “store-it-all” backup nexus makes TM inherently incapable to easily backup massive amounts of data, nor is doing so a good idea.
10. TM working premise is a backup of a users system and active working data, and NOT massive amounts of static data, yet most users never take this into consideration, making TM a high-risk locus of data “bloat”.
11. In the case of Time Capsule, wifi data storage is a less than ideal premise given possible wireless data corruption.
12. TM like all HD-based data is subject to ferromagnetic and mechanical failure.
13. *Level-1 security of your vital data.
Advantages:
1. TM is very easy to use either in automatic mode or in 1-click backups.
2. TM is a perfect novice level simplex backup single-layer security save against internal HD failure or corruption.
3. TM can easily provide a seamless no-gap policy of active data that is often not easily capable in HD clones or HD archives (only if the user is lazy is making data saves).
#2. HD archives
Drawbacks:
1. Like all HD-based data is subject to ferromagnetic and mechanical failure.
2. Unless the user ritually copies working active data to HD external archives, then there is a time-gap of potential missing data; as such users must be proactive in archiving data that is being worked on or recently saved or created.
Advantages:
1. Fills the gap left in a week or 2-week-old HD clone, as an example.
2. Simplex no-software data storage that is isolated and autonomous from the computer (in most cases).
3. HD archives are the best idealized storage source for storing huge and multi-terabytes of data.
4. Best-idealized 1st platform redundancy for data protection.
5. *Perfect primary tier and level-2 security of your vital data.
#3. HD clones (see below for full advantages / drawbacks)
Drawbacks:
1. HD clones can be incrementally updated to hourly or daily, however this is time consuming and HD clones are, often, a week or more old, in which case data between today and the most fresh HD clone can and would be lost (however this gap is filled by use of HD archives listed above or by a TM backup).
2. Like all HD-based data is subject to ferromagnetic and mechanical failure.
Advantages:
1. HD clones are the best, quickest way to get back to 100% full operation in mere seconds.
2. Once a HD clone is created, the creation software (Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper) is no longer needed whatsoever, and unlike TM, which requires complex software for its operational transference of data, a HD clone is its own bootable entity.
3. HD clones are unconnected and isolated from recent corruption.
4. HD clones allow a “portable copy” of your computer that you can likewise connect to another same Mac and have all your APPS and data at hand, which is extremely useful.
5. Rather than, as many users do, thinking of a HD clone as a “complimentary backup” to the use of TM, a HD clone is superior to TM both in ease of returning to 100% quickly, and its autonomous nature; while each has its place, TM can and does fill the gap in, say, a 2 week old clone. As an analogy, the HD clone itself is the brick wall of protection, whereas TM can be thought of as the mortar, which will fill any cracks in data on a week, 2-week, or 1-month old HD clone.
6. Best-idealized 2nd platform redundancy for data protection, and 1st level for system restore of your computers internal HD. (Time machine being 2nd level for system restore of the computer’s internal HD).
7. *Level-2 security of your vital data.
HD cloning software options:
1. SuperDuper HD cloning software APP (free)
2. Carbon Copy Cloner APP (will copy the recovery partition as well)
3. Disk utility HD bootable clone.
#4. Online archives
Drawbacks:
1. Subject to server failure or due to non-payment of your hosting account, it can be suspended.
2. Subject, due to lack of security on your part, to being attacked and hacked/erased.
Advantages:
1. In case of house fire, etc. your data is safe.
2. In travels, and propagating files to friends and likewise, a mere link by email is all that is needed and no large media needs to be sent across the net.
3. Online archives are the perfect and best-idealized 3rd platform redundancy for data protection.
4. Supremely useful in data isolation from backups and local archives in being online and offsite for long-distance security in isolation.
5. *Level-1.5 security of your vital data.
#5. DVD professional archival media
Drawbacks:
1. DVD single-layer disks are limited to 4.7Gigabytes of data.
2. DVD media are, given rough handling, prone to scratches and light-degradation if not stored correctly.
Advantages:
1. Archival DVD professional blank media is rated for in excess of 100+ years.
2. DVD is not subject to mechanical breakdown.
3. DVD archival media is not subject to ferromagnetic degradation.
4. DVD archival media correctly sleeved and stored is currently a supreme storage method of archiving vital data.
5. DVD media is once written and therefore free of data corruption if the write is correct.
6. DVD media is the perfect ideal for “freezing” and isolating old copies of data for reference in case newer generations of data become corrupted and an older copy is needed to revert to.
7. Best-idealized 4th platform redundancy for data protection.
8. *Level-3 (highest) security of your vital data.
[*Level-4 data security under development as once-written metallic plates and synthetic sapphire and likewise ultra-long-term data storage]
#6. Cloud based storage
Drawbacks:
1. Cloud storage can only be quasi-possessed.
2. No genuine true security and privacy of data.
3. Should never be considered for vital data storage or especially long-term.
4. *Level-0 security of your vital data.
Advantages:
1. Quick, easy and cheap storage location for simplex files for transfer to keep on hand and yet off the computer.
2. Easy source for small-file data sharing.

Firefox 4.0 RAM usage soars over time in Mac OSX 10.6.7 and is never freed

Firefox 4.0 RAM usage typically averages between 400-750MB for light usage (1-2 windows, 1-3 tabs each). Memory usage skyrockets over time, and/or if I open more tabs or windows where I've seen it consume well over 1 GB of RAM of my total 4 GB. Firefox 4.0 never seems to free much of this RAM relative to what it's consuming either.
The only plugins enabled are QuickTime, Flash and Java (and disabling any of these to use Firefox efficiently should not be required).
The worst I've ever seen was it using 1.27 GB of RAM when all I had open was Facebook (1 window, 0 tabs). Something is not right with this browser...Shouldn't it free what it isn't using?

Same here. I upgraded to FF5 yesterday morning and by this morning FF was using 1.26GB RAM and over 1GB Virtual Memory (less than 24 hours). I've had this problem ever since I started using FF with version 3...
The only add-on I use is Firebug.

Where can I find various high level examples of workflows being used

I am about to start a project with TCS 3.5 and have been participating in the Adobe webinars to help learn components and specific techniques but what I am lacking is an understanding of various workflows I can model my project after or take bits from various sources. Why start with Framemaker in this workflow versus RoboHelp or even Word? Questions like this I think come from experience with the process and I am thinking that what I am getting myself into is a chessgame with all these pieces and don't want to paint myself into a corner by traveling down one route. I have seen this graphic:
And this one:
And this one:
But they are too generic and do not contain enough information to really understand the descision making process one must go through on various projects.
Can we have a series of webinars made, all with the underlining theme of defining a working process or workflow, by having guests describe how they have or are using this suite in real life on their own projects? One that might include a graphic showing the routes taken through the suite with reasons why?
My project hopes to make a single source internal site that will tie together various 3D portable industrial coordinate metrology systems (hardware and software). It would be used as a dispersal site for help, communications between users and SME, OEM information, QA requirements, established processes, scripting snipet downloads, statistics, and training (including SOJT). Portable industrial metrology has 8 different softwares that are used and right now about 8 different instruments. These include laser trackers and radars, articulated arms, scanners, structered white and blue light to name a few. The softwares include Spatial Analyzer, Veriserf, CompIT, eMscon, AXYZ to a few there as well. I want to be able to participate and add content to an internal Sharpoint site, push content to users for stand-alone workstations, ePub, capture knowledge leaving the company through attrition, develop easy graphic rich job aid sheets, and aid in evaluations of emergent software and hardware. I would also like to leave the option open to use the finished product as a rosetta stone like translator between the software packages; doing this is the equivelent of doing this in these other software pacages for example.

PDF is definately a format I want to include, to collaborate with other divisions and SME for one reason, but also for the ease in including 3D interactive target models with in it and portability. I plan on being able to provide individual PDFs that are very specific in their topics and to also use them to disperse user guides, cheat sheets or job aids... something the user may want to laminate on their own and keep with them for reference, printed out. Discussion in these sheets would be drasticly reduced to only the elements, relying heavely on bullet points or steps, usfull graphs, charts and tables... and of course illustrative images. I am thinking that these should be downloadable buttons to print on each topic section, not in a general apendix or such. They would hopefully be limited to one page, double sided 8x10.
The cheet sheet would have a simplistic flow chart of how or where this specific topic fits in the bigger picture,
The basic steps,
Illustrations, equipment, setup
Software settings for various situations in a table or chart,
Typical result graph to judge with,
Applicable QA, FAA regulation settings or concerns,

The trouble here is that I have read that FM has a problem sometimes in succesfully transfering highly structured or formatted material to RoboHelp. Does this then mean that I would take it from FM straight to PDF?
Our OEM material is very high level stuff... basicly for engineers and not shop floor users... but that is not to say they don't have some good material that could be useful. Our internal content is spread out across many different divisions and continents, with various ways of saying the same thing. This leads QA to interpret the information differently depending where the systems are put to work. We also have FAA requirements that need to be addressed and reminded to the user.
Our company is starting to also see an exodus of the most knowledagble of the users through retirement. Capturing the knowledge and soft skill packages they have developed working here for 20-30 years is something I am really struggling with. I have only come up with two ideas so far:
Internal User Web based Forum
Interviews (some SMEs do not want to make the effort in transfering knowledge by participating in anything if it requires an effort they don't see of benefit to themseleves), to get video, audio or transcription records

Service item not relevant for pricing if used with higher level item catego

Hi,
We have a service item e.g S900 with Item category ZTAD.
This line Item automatically creates a Service Order.
Requirement is , if this service item is used with an Equipement Item,
Item 10 --> Equipment
Item 20 --> Service
--> There would be price required for the Equipment ( Condition type ZPRO - Mandatory )
--> System should not ask for the price of Service Item, as it would be inclusive in the Equipmetn charges.
--> In short if the Service item is used as Sub item with Equipment, it is not relevan for pricing.
I tried copying ZTAD and creating a new item cateogry which is not relevant for pricing...would that be the correct approach, but facing several issues related to Automatic Service order generation.
what could be possible ways to achieve above.
Regards

Hi,
System will ask the price for item category TAD bcoz service also chargble,in your case insted of TAD use TANN as free,
You can define based on your higher level item category for Ex : OR + Normusage(Blank)Higherlevl item (Blank)= TAN
you can config like this ORNormUsge(Blank) + TAN = TANN
like this you can do it this correct way or els you can manually enter the item catagory (TANN) at sale order line item level.
Thanks
Vinayak.
