2.0.1 Update and speed improvement...

Has anyone noticed a speed increase when doing Mpeg encoding after installing the 2.0.1 update and Quick Time update ?
I have just downloaded the update but I have no source media to do a test/compare with on my Powerbook..

This topic has been discussed several times earlier where several issues and work around´s has "arrived". I was just interested to hear if someone found the new updates to be the eureka to all theses issues (to slow when exporting from FCP timeline etc etc).
Personally I have done tests on the old FCP4.5/compressor 1.X combo and compared this with FCP5.0/Compressor 2.X with the same source material, and the results was:
Comp.1.X - 60Min HQ setting: 9min 34 s
Comp.2.X - 90min HQ setting: 11min 8 s
This was done on a 1.6GHz Powerbook max´ed with ram before any updates arrived (and the export was done from the FCP timeline).
My G5 setup is still in the old FCP 4.5/Comp 1.X combo and I was interested to see if it was about time to do the swap..

  • DRI (declarative referential integrity) and speed improvements.

    EDITED: See my second post--in my testing, the relevant consideration is whether the parent table has a compound primary key or a single primary key.  If the parent has a simple primary key, and there is a trusted (checked) DRI relation
    with the child, and a query requests only records from the child on an inner join with the parent, then sql server (correctly) skips performing the join (shown in the execution plan).  However, if the parent has a compound primary key, then sql server
    performs a useless join between parent and child.   tested on sql 2008 r2 and denali.  If anyone can get sql server NOT to perform the join with compound primary keys on the parent, let me know.
    ORIGINAL POST: I'm not seeing the join behavior in the execution plan given in the link provided (namely that the optimizer does not bother performing a join to the parent tbl when a query needs information from the child side only AND
    trusted DRI exists between the tables AND the columns are defined as not null).  The foreign key relation "is trusted" by Sql server ("is not trusted" is false), but the plan always picks both tables for the join although only one is needed. 
    If anyone has comments on whether declarative ref integrity does produce speed improvements on certain joins, please post.  thanks.
    http://dinesql.blogspot.com/2011/04/does-referential-integrity-improve.html

    I'm running sql denali ctp3 x64 and sql 2008 r2 x64, on windows 7 sp1. I've tested it on dozens of tables, and I defy anyone to provide a counter-example (you can create ANY parent table with two ints as a composite primary key, and then a child table using
    that compound as a foreign key, and create a trusted dri link between them and use the above queries I posted)--any table with a compound foreign key relation as the basis for the DRI apparently does not benefit from referential integrity between those tables
    (in terms of performance). Or to be more precise, the execution plan reveals that sql server performs a costly and unnecessary join in these cases, but not when the trusted DRI relation between them is a single primary key. If anyone has seen a different result,
    please let me know, since it does influence my design decisions.
    fwiw, a similar behavior is true of sql server's date correlation optimization: it doesn't work if the tables are joined by a composite key, only if they are a joined by a single column:
    "There must be a single-column
    foreign key relationship between the tables. "
    So I speculate, knowing absolutely nothing, that there must be something deep in the bowels of the engine that doesn't optimize compound key relations as well as single column ones.

  • 10.4.4 Easily Updated and Marked improvements!

    Hi,
    I read with trepidation many of the issues associatted with the 10.4.4 update keeping in mind more folks with problems than success will post.
    That said I'd like to say it's a great update that has improved my 15" PB noticably.
    I updated thusly:
    Repaired permissions from disc utility on the HD, not from disc.
    Downloaded and followed the combo update.
    That's it!
    NO PROBLEMS and marked speed improvments on several levels most welcomed my card reader for digital photos is 10x faster! 100mb took 2+ minutes prior, about 10 seconds now. This is a Lexar with USB 2 reader.
    All programs seem more responsive.
    A success story.

    "However, we can see first-hand the large numbers of people who have been crippled by the update."
    I strongly disagree that large numbers of people have
    been crippled by ANY OS X update at all. Just because a thread
    has dozens, maybe hundreds of posts, doesn't mean anything. If
    you look at individual posts you will see very few. If you've
    been around long enough you see the same names over and over
    again with the same problems on every update that comes out. To
    use your logic in reverse, just because SOME people have issues
    doesn't mean the update is at fault at all.
    OK, to take your approach, let's say that 3% of all Mac users come to these forums. Now of that number, only maybe 75% ever actually post. And of /that/ 75%, we find that some 3% of the posters have issues with the 10.4.4 update. (I'd be interested in knowing the actual numbers.)
    If we say only 14 users in these forums have expressed issues concerning this update, then that adds up to 20,740 end users with issues.
    Do you really think everyone that has a problem comes here? The same names over and over again are right. they are of the few 'regular joe' users that found it to this place.
    Users do all sorts of strange things to their
    installations. They delete, move, alter files without the
    slightest knowledge of what they are doing. They install 3rd
    party hacks and then forget they ever did so. Third party hacks,
    of course, are one of the main causes of problems with updates.
    The thing is, this doesn't always happen with a minor decimal update. And one of the primary strengths of the Apple Macintosh since 1984 has been the reliability and the stability of the platform. When I debate platforms with people at work, even the ones that despise everything Macintosh tend to speak in almost glowing terms about how they just don't break. Well, not as much as they used to in the Classic days of course, but X is 100 times more complex. Nevertheless, with protected memory and self contained applications, X should be /more/ reliable than Classic not less.
    The problem here is with QC in the coding department. An organizational issue that is not difficult to fix.
    I would also take issue with the idea to make updates
    available only on Apple's download site. Those same average
    users you mention would then never update at all and be left
    open to real bugs and security issues.
    Then you didn't really read what I wrote. The rest of the Unix community does it RIGHT. Minor decimal updates are first released as UNSTABLE and when the bugs are ironed out THEN it is sent to auto-update reservoirs such as Software Update.
    I sincerely doubt that the 4 week delay for bug reports to come in from the early-adopter community and the repairs get folded into the stable release before it automatically goes out to the rest of the user base could really be classified as "never" in the way you characterize it above. What I recommended was that the update be given in it's original release to the Early-Adopters on the Apple Website, and when it is clear that there are not major issues (or the major issues are repaired or accounted for) THEN release it on SU.
    With the large user community we have for OS X, the unstable/stable release model will result in astoundingly strong software, worthy of Macintosh's 80's and 90's reputation for reliability.
    I respect your opinion in this matter but I stick to my
    claim. Each update adds greater stability, fixes bugs, increases
    compatibility.
    In theory. I happen to be a power user, and have been able to increase in function and stability with every minor decimal point release. I need to post an answer to my own thread on this, but the 10.4.4 update made my Finder lock up sometimes when it woke up from sleep, and /every/ time it woke up with Keynote 3 running. And that is on a fresh OS install last week (bought new hard drive). So then I go and delete the com.apple.PowerManagement.plist and reboot, and reset my power management preferences and I am now good to go.
    As a support professional, it is frankly inexcusable to expect your ordinary end user to do such a thing.
    In my opinion Apple does a very good job of testing
    updates before they are released.
    That's the whole point, isn't it? A lab is /not/ real life. You can never iron out the issues in a lab alone, that a piece of code will encounter in the user community. In the Unix world, an 'unstable' update is not necessarily unstable. It just hasn't had real-world feedback yet. If Apple went to that paradigm, only putting 'stable' releases on SU, then none of this would happen.
    The vast majority of users experience none of the
    problems seen here and that's why you don't see those users
    here. If this latest update was as issue prone as some claim
    this forum would be locked up from thousands of users attempting
    to get their two cents in.
    So you don't think anybody in the real world goes elsewhere to fix their problems, takes their computers to CompUSA, the Apple Store, or just languishes in a poorly-operating state not knowing who to call or what to do?

  • My performance is very slow when I run graphs. How do I increase the speed at which I can do other things while the data is being updated and displayed on the graphs?

    I am doing an an aquisition and displaying the data on graphs. When I run the program it is slow. I think because I have the number of scans to read associated with my scan rate. It takes the number of seconds I want to display on the chart times the scan rate and feeds that into the number of samples to read at a time from the AI read. The problem is that it stalls until the data points are aquired and displayed so I cannot click or change values on the front panel until the updates occur on the graph. What can I do to be able to help this?

    It may also be your graphics card. LabVIEW can max the CPU and you
    screen may not be refreshing very fast.

  • Why is the download speed for Creative Cloud updates and initial software installation so slow?

    Why is the download process for Adobe Creative Cloud updates and initial installations so slow? I can download and update other software from other providers almost an order of magnitude faster. This slow download problem has been present since I started using Creative Cloud soon after it was initially offered.
    Adobe customer support maintains that there is no throttling at Adobe's end, and that no one has complained about this problem -- this forum shows the latter not to be true.
    What is the problem?

    Hi ErstwhileCreative,
    I don't think I've ever checked the download speed but the installers are definitely large files, many several GB. It might seem longer because the download immediately progresses into the installation at 50%

    I have an iMac OS X ver 10.7.5.  Processor speed is 3.06 GHz intel core i3, and the memory is 4 GB 1333 MHz RAM.  My online banking app is being updated and requires OS ver 10.8 or newer.  When I ask for available updates, the system says there are none available.  How can I update my system to ver 10.8 or newer to accommodate the new banking app?

    You can update directly to Yosemite (for free) through the App Store (this is 10.10). Make sure your existing applications will run on this OS.
    If you wish to stay at 10.8, you can order this through the online Apple Store (it's $20), and they will email you a redemption code to be used on the App Store.

  • When will iMovie for iPad2 be updated to allow slo-mo and speed-up?

    I love iMovie, especially since I've been able to uppload movies directly without messing about converting files etc. Can anyone shed any light on wether there is any intention to update iMovie to give it slow-motion and speed-up functionality. That would make it ideal for me (I'm easily pleased) but at the minute I'm actually finding it easier to create movies I want using Window's Movie Maker...
    Thoughts greatly appreciated!
    Cheers

    Nobody here knows Apple's future plans for iMovie until they announce them - and there's been no announcement.

  • Bravo on great speed improvement in LR5!

    I'm currently in the process of editing large sets of close to 300 photos each.  My workflow needs me to go through each single shot, calibrate them, and eventually make a selection of around 100 good photos per set.  I often navigate between the Library and Develop modules, and I use pretty much all tools (as necessary) when calibrating/editing the shots.  My files are D800 raw files. Note also that my library contains 13 years of photography work, with around 250,000 photos (of various sources evidently).
    I just wanted to take a few minutes off my editing process to comment on the huge improvement on speed I am experiencing in LR5 over LR4.
    In LR4, my workflow with my D800 files was very painful, with all the slugginess I would get everytime I moved from the Develop module to the Library Module, and everytime I used tools in the develop module.  There was lag virtually everywhere.  I'm on a very up to date system, with SSD drives both for the phtoos I work on, and my system disc. 
    Since LR5, I can honestly say it feels pleasant once again to edit my photos.  As where I feared opening LR4 to do my job, I now look forward again to visit my shots. 
    I read on the forum about the sharpness issue in lower res exports, and I'm sure there are a few more things to fix here and there.  But the HUGE improvement in responsiveness and speed in the application makes LR5 a real winner to me.  Speed is definitly a main issue that should always be addressed first with each update, always trying to improve on it and make the workflow as pleasant as possible so that we, as photographers, have to focus only on one thing: creativity. 
    I'm glad this issue was addressed with LR5, and my only wish would have been to see it addressed sooner in LR4.
    Back to editing I go...
    cheers!

  • Mac os x lion 10.7 on mac book pro not updating and running very slow

    i am using mac os x lion 10.7
    problem it is not updating and running very slow. How to improve?

    If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. This procedure is a diagnostic  test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem. The backup is necessary on principle, not because of anything suggested in this comment. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The procedure will help to identify which such modifications you've installed, as well as some other aspects of the state of the system that may be pertinent.
    Don’t be alarmed by the seeming complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out. Here's a brief summary: You copy a line of text from this web page into a window in another application. You wait about a minute. Then you paste some other text, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, paste again. That's all there is to it. Details follow.
    You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken while booted in “normal” mode. If the system is now running in safe mode and is bootable in normal mode, reboot as usual. If it only boots in safe mode, proceed anyway.
    Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script. It does nothing but produce human-readable output. However, you need to be cautious about running any program at the behest of a stranger on a public message board. If you question the safety of the procedure suggested here — which you should — search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them.
    The script will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but it's really a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it.
    If you have more than one user, and the affected user is not an administrator, then please run the script twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The administrator is the user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time. If you can't log in as an administrator, just run the script as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways: 
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.) 
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens. 
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid. 
    When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign ($) or a percent sign (%). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign. 
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter your password, the script will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important, so don't worry about it.
    The script may take up to a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. Wait for the line "[Process completed]" to appear in the Terminal window.
    You can then quit Terminal. The output of the script will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. All you have to do is paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V again.
    Please note:
    ☞ This procedure is all copy-and-paste — type nothing in the Terminal window except your login password if and when prompted.
    ☞ Remember to post the output. It's already in the Clipboard when you see "[Process completed]" in the Terminal window. You don't have to copy the output; just paste into your web browser.
    ☞ If any personal information, such as your name or email address, appears in the output, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.

  • HT5381 i did a software update and now mail wont open at all

    Help......my mail app is coming up with an error "You can't use this version of Mail with this version of Mac OS X".  Can I uninstall the update?

    !! WARNING !!
    about the September 2012
    "Security Update 2012-004"
    If you've got "Mail.app" in a folder OTHER THAN the root "Applications" folder,
    MOVE "MAIL.APP" TO THE APPLICATIONS FOLDER
    **BEFORE** INSTALLING THE "004" UPDATE!!
    Because *IF* you use OSX's integrated Software Update app from the Apple menu to do the "004" updating, and *IF* your Mail.app is NOT in the Applications folder, then buddy, you've got some sitdown fixit time ahead of ya and/or some internet tie-up time downloading the "004" update file itself.
    Been through it all, already.  In fact, just got done getting my Mail back up & running. And I tried everything short of attempting to unpacking my "Mail.pkg" receipt file using... whatever... even Pacifist couldn't get it out. So that fixit "Plan D" died quick. And I'm not savvy enough to use Terminal commands to do "Plan E," so that SUDO stuff was my brick wall.
    So I compressed my entire "Mail" subdirectory that contain all my emails, for safekeeping during the required surgery, or whatever would work, leaving the original Mail directory where it was. In case something bad happened in all my fixit whatevers, the one thing I *didn't* want to cross paths with was a hosed Library -> Mail folder. Then I'd be pssd. But I can wipe out that ZIP now 'cause all's well now. After 6 hrs of downloading thru a mobile broadband hotspot running at only 14KB/sec speed due to my having gone over my T-Mobile hotspot plan's bandwidth amount (throttled-down after reaching the limit, tho not cut off completely. Kinda nice, but it's a huge speed drop).
    I tried moving the two Mail.app versions around, compressing them & then trashing the original so they wouldn't be recognized, blabla, even booted my Mac in Safe Mode & reinstalled the "MacOSX 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) Update Combo.dmg" update file, which in the past has fixed many problems. But after restarting, not this one.
    Like a dummy who ignored knowing better, I had my Mail.app in a folder other than the Applications folder, with only an alias to that being in the Applications folder. NOT GOOD ENOUGH. The updater don't see that as nuthin special or useful.
    So if you've got, like I've got, "old" icons for Mail.app (v4.5) in your Finder toolbar & in your Dock that all point to "Mail.app v4.5" in whatever folder you've got that in, other than in the Applications folder (where Apple apparently REQUIRES that it be located, and ONLY there, at least for OSX updating purposes), then after you download & autorun that "004" updater using Software Update, NONE of your pre-existing Mail icons will work. And MOST aggravatingly, **NOR** will your brand-new "Mail.app v4.6" work that came out of the "004" updating installation.  So basically, your Mail.app's... all of 'em.... are hosed. But only if you run the "004" update without your "Mail.app v4.5" being located in your Applications folder and ONLY in your Applications folder. And duplicates of Mail.app, scattered around your HDD??  Always a problem with many Apple apps.... The Apple software engineers apparently like 'em to be in the Applications folder, and in ONLY there, and ONLY the latest version, and ONLY 1 single copy of each on your entire HDD. They just don't seem to stress that enough, it appears. Kind of an oversight for them to not emphasize that, IMO...
    My recommendation for this particular September 2012 "004" update:
    If you run Software Update, and if you see the "Security Update 2012-004" listed as available for download, UNCHECKMARK IT.  DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT USING SOFTWARE UPDATE !  Instead, download the actual update file itself.
    Same thing, only a different way of doing it. Most importantly, you'll be skipping the auto-installation that Software Update performs.
    AND you'll have that update file on your HDD for future fixits, should a nasty "unfixable" problem come up.
    First, #1. Do a filename search for "Mail" (Option-Command-Spacebar). Scroll down to where the "Apps" are located in the list under the "Kind" column heading. First, find your Mail.app that's v4.5. Get that bugger into your Applications folder if it's not already there. Next, Trash all other "Mail.app" apps you see in that same list that you may have elsewhere on your HDD.
    #2. Go here: https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1586
    And download the actual "004" DMG update file: "SecUpd2012-004.dmg"
    And of course, it's a biggie.... 270MB... so watching grass grow may be involved here if you've got a slow connection (go to a MacDonalds & do it, like I shoulda done).
    3. After downloading, I'd recommend closing down all apps, emptying the Trash, and restarting.
    Then, after restarting, run Disk Utility's "Repair Disk Permissions."
    Then, doublecheck that the Mail.app version 4.5 is in your Applications folder.
    THEN fire up & install "SecUpd2012-004.dmg."
    Reboot.
    After the reboot, your Mail.app version 4.5 in the Applications folder will have become Mail.app version 4.6 in the Applications folder, and all will be well again.
    And you can dump that zipped-up "Username -> Library -> Mail" folder then, too.
    Happy Mac'in!

  • I do updates and then have to reinstall previous versions - time and time again because of the number of unsupported add-ons

    4 or 5 times I've updated Firefox only to have to reinstall the previous version due to incompatibility with add-ons / plug-ins / toolbars. I'm not a big user of Toolbars but I have some add on I use daily.
    The last 3 times I did a "suggested by Firefox" update I've had to reinstall a previous version from my saved files in order to use Firefox. This problem has caused me to return to IE as my default browser - but unwillingly.
    My current setup is Firefox 4.0.1 Beta and I had to reinstall a version 3 in the Firefox folder until addons starting working in this 4.0.1 Beta. However 4.0.1 has always hung up, even opening a tab and ceases to respond; sometimes for minutes.
    I run Win XP - SP3 Dell Pentium 4 - 3.0ghz with 4 gigs of DDR2 - GX520. So it's not an equipment problem - (I have 4 PC's on my home LAN - although each serves it's purpose and seldom are 2 used at the same time.
    When I installed 4.0.1 and then reinstalled 3.x ... I've been hoping for an update --- I love Firefox - have ever since first use - and then today I saw the update versions had jumped from 4 all the way to 7. I was enthused.
    Same issue. On install over the V 3.x it showed 6 items of add-ons that were incompatible. I did not remove the V 7 ... I simple reopened the 4.0.1 beta. I use it for single page browsing as tabs locks it up or slows it to a crawl.
    I'm having to continue using IE as my default --- I always keep a backup browser, but I don't care for much of anything that has an MS on it's name.
    I've never posted to Mozilla ... but the idea crossed my mind over a year ago when I updated and had to back-up and reinstall. WHY can't a program precede the update to check for compatibility, just as an upgrade adviser from one OS to another?
    This was the biggest list of all. NET Framework Assistant, Google Toolbar, Yahoo Toolbar, Roboform ... there were 2 others. I don't use the Yahoo Toolbar. I have Google Toolbar installed but keep it hidden except when I need it (for Page Rank, etc., I work websites).
    But I won't use a browser that doesn't support AI Roboform.
    I honestly love Firefox. I code webpages - .asp, .html and do SEO ... but I don't know the difficulty of writing even a small application. Would it be too difficult to have a small program that would check for these add-on incompatibilities before installing the updates.
    I was impressed with 4.0.1 beta until I realized that opening a new window or tab bogged it down.
    I want Firefox back but not with band-aids and work-around bandages. Is there a version between 4.0.1 and v7 which I tried tonight that would support my plug-ins / add-on. My experience with Firefox using versions up to 3.x has been great. But for months and months I open 4.0.1 and open my TV guide at ZapIt and then I've had to use IE 8 for all my web browsing.
    My most important add-on is for Roboform and 2nd would be for Google Toolbar - but on a scale of 1-10 Roboform is a 10+ and Google Toolbar a 3.
    If this post does not go to the support team at Firefox then how would I go about suggesting an Update Adviser prior to installing an update?
    Anyone with a flexible solution - even short term - that would allow me to see Firefox improvements since the v4 I'm using would be more appreciated than I could ever express.
    Since I've never posted before I'm not even sure how I'll get a response or be able to see any responses. Something during the registration said I could get an email when a reply was posted.
    Thanks again for listening to me whimper and beg for a workable Firefox; I miss it.

    this is all I can find, thank you for your time.

  • Installed latest itunes update and computer tried to burn a playlist to CD and realized computer no longer recognizes my CD/DVD drive. This is an APPLE Itunes issue. Help!. HPPavillion DV6 64 bit, windows 7

    Installed latest itunes update and computer tried to burn a playlist to CD and realized computer no longer recognizes my CD/DVD drive. After doing some data mining, found out from community this is an long standing APPLE problem- which doesn't get much tech support in terms of fixes. I have an HPPavillion DV6 64 bit, Windows 7 OS . After reading an earlier complaint from 2009 in the support community,  I ran diagnostics from ITunes which gave the following result. Can someone please help? (I'm not enough of a techie to know what I'm doing or how to locate /reinstall CD drivers. I am searching for driver disc but cannot locate.)

    Hello,
    Leopard requirements/10.5.x...
        *  Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (867MHz or faster) processor
    minimum system requirements
        * 512MB of memory (I say 1.5GB for PPC at least, 2-3GB minimum for IntelMacs)
        * DVD drive for installation
        * 9GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
    Classic/OS9 Apps no longer supported.
    Trouble is Apple no longer sells it, check eBay & such for the Retail version, not the Gray Discs...

    There are workarounds if the 867MHz CPU is the only hangup...

    OK, well I solved my own problem by replacing this file with one from a recent TimeMachine backup. Looks like the update must have damaged this file ... strange.
