A thought about buffering streams, does anyone know?

Quite a while ago, before G5s, on my desktop g4 I had Mail set to check for new mail every so many minutes. Whenever I was watching or listening to a steam it would buffer frequently. I finally realized that the buffering was linked to my system looking for new mail and turned it off. My question is with internet mail programs like gmail, hotmail and the like, could the updates for mail by the browser be contributing to the buffering issue? I know our processors are slow but I was listening to an audio stream today and it was buffering every so many minutes. Drove me nuts?
What do you think?
Thanks,
Connie

anything connected to the internet & is transmitting data can cause issues with streaming content, more so on slower connections.
what type of connection & how fast is it? test your connection at http://speedtest.net

So what you are saying is you bought a phone without any research and no nothing about the phones capabilities.

My battery life between charges on my ipad 1 has plummeted to about 2 hours. The guy at the genius bar suggested it might be an app (unfortunately I didn't have the device with me). Does anyone know of apps that cause heavy drains on power? Thanks!

The battery life between charges on my iPad has plummeted to about 2 hours. The guy at the genius bar said the charge should last about 10 hours and suggested it might be an app (unfortunately I didn't have the device with me and the nearest Apple Store to me is 2 hours away). Does anyone know of apps that cause heavy drains on power? It also does not charge when it is plugged into my MacBook while I am using the iPad but it does when I am not using the iPad. I mostly use the iPad to read e-mails, play Team Lava games, read books through iBooks or Kobo and the ABC Player. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Restore is about the only option left, short reinstalling the whole thing as new.
Before you restore, go to I tunes and turn off automatic sync. Then plug the machine in. Upload any photos that you have taken with the pad into I photos, or where ever you keep your pictures. Then, in I tunes, transfer any purchases.
If any apps or purchased music get lost in the process, you can download them again for free.
You do not want to make a backup of what you have on the pad now. If you do, when you restore, you will simply recreate the same problem.
What you want to do is restore from a prior backup. Do that.
Then run the system status app and see what the CPU numbers look like. If they are ok, then you can start to re add apps until the problem shows up.
If this does not do it, then the last step is to set the pad up as new. Check the numbers, then add the apps and settings back one by one. While it is likely to be an app, it may be a setting somewhere.

Does anyone know anything about iPhones and/or iPads having barcode scanners for business purposes?

Does anyone know anything about iPhones and/or iPads having barcode scanners for business purposes? I am doing some research about the benefits of using a Q R Code type of system, but question which handheld sets would be more compatible for using that type of barcode. Being a avid Apple supporter, I cannot seem to find very much research on this specific topic.
Any thoughts?

I have a QR reader on my iphone. Works just brill. I've used it to create business cards, with a boat load more information on it (Including my duty times, etc)
Most of the QR readers in the App store are free, so give them a try. You can copy and paste the data just like normal text.
What application for them did you have in mind?

Hello i am new to the HP forum and have a lot of questions. does anyone know a lot about computers

hello all, I am new to this forum and hope to find some help. I have a HP pavillion thats about 2 years old and having a bunch of minor issues and trying to find someone that can help. when i had HP warranty they seemed to do more damage than good. my computer starts up in selective mode always and I dont know much about booting and safe boot. I tried doing a system restore but it starts and will go for days without ever completing, so thats one issue. also I have alot running at startup and not sure what to disable and when i do disable it its still there after a restart. does anyone know a lot about PCs and can help me. I would greatly appreciate it.

1. yes. there's no one place to find out how to do that. you'll need to learn how to use flash software. it's mature software with many features and there's no shortcut to learning how to use it. it would be a surprise if you could build a decent game with those specs in less than 100 hours working with flash.
2. insignificant issue.
3. for someone unfamiliar with porting flash apps to iOS apps, no.

Does anyone know what to do about iCal colors changing.

Does anyone know what to do about iCal colors changing. Ever since ios7 came out I have many problems. I kind of feel like Apple has become Microsoft at twice the price?? Anyway, today all my calendars (iPhone, iPad, iCloud and on my Mac) all changed colors from the customer colors I had set. I have about 5 calendars.
I was able to change them back on my Mac, my iphone and my ipad, but not in iCloud. Once each of the ones I changed updates / syncs it reverts to the incorrect colors again. I have tested back and forth, and it is definetly coming out of the iCloud.com. The web site will not let me chance colors, so once it updates / sync, all my other devices and calendars sync to the purple in iCloud.
I could go on and on about my frustrations with the apparent lack to testing, and the irony around Microsoft and their "bugs". It is more important that I find a cure, as this is really annoying.
Has anyone else seen this today

Don't spend a lot of time trying to change it. It's an iCloud problem that's happened before, and when it happened in August it went back to the correct colors in a few days. Just be careful when you add new items to the calendar to use the right calendar (even if the color is wrong), otherwise you'll have things out of synch when the correct colors come back.

HT4623 I have IPAD 2. i want to update to a more current version of IOS, but I don't have a "software update" option. Does anyone know how I should go about updating my ipad. I bought it in April, 2011.

I have an IPAD 2 that I purchased two years ago. I would like to get a more current version of the IOS so that I can download games, etc. The instructions say to go to General and select Software Download. I do not have that option listed in my General area. Does anyone know how I should go about getting the more current IOS? Also, will the download hurt my IPAD. I was told it might damage my operating system. Thank you, Marilyn

No. The Download is the operating system. It won't damage it because its released by Apple and signed to work on it.
It will update the Operating system to the newer version.

Does anyone know of a VI or how to go about writing one that will prevent the computers time/date from being disabled while an application is running.

Does anyone know of a VI or how to go about writing one that will prevent the computers clock/time from being disabled while an application is running. The time and date can normally be reset while an application is running by clicking on the time/date in the lower right-hand corner of the computer screen. I have an application that runs over several days and it is critical that the time and date of the computer not be changed. Is there an easy way to lock this out from the user? Note that I am what I consider an advanced beginner in LV.
Thank you,
Chuck
Solved!
Go to Solution.

That is not something you can do from LabVIEW, as it is an operating system operation, and it will depend on the operating system that you're using. On Windows you can use a group policy to control this. Please Google on "prevent time and date change in windows".
Also, please try to refrain from stuffing your entire message in the subject block. Keep the subject short, but descriptive enough so it can be understood what you are basically asking. Thanks.

I found this is another thread - same issue.
Re: iTunes has stopped working. Why?
Sep 11, 2013 6:07 AM (in response to thurdy)
Resolved!
After contacting Apple, I received a reply from their engineers:
Copy QTMovieWin.dll from: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
to: C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
And that did the trick.

Does anyone know how to change .mov to a supported file extension (and what extension would you suggest)? .mov works on Apperture 3.0 so I thought it would work on Final Cut Pro X....

Does anyone know how to easily change a .mov file extension to one of the accepted Final Cut Pro X extensions? I thought since .mov worked in Aperture 3.0 it should work on FCP X. Thanks

Hi Tom
Thanks
I am now doing some 1 minute import tests from various Q/T's
They are all in the same place on an External 1 TB Western Digital - connected by Firewire 800
I have just imported some 1 minute tests from other Q/T 's and they have imported Ok - quickly imported and transcoded etc fine and quickly.
Using your suggested methd of getting the details using Quicktime 7 Movie Inspector I can see NO DIFFERENCE in the formats! In fact with four of these files open I can click on each in turn and see the Inspector details for each in turn - and only the name, size etc changes - not the format!
I am really upset and confused by this as I have been trying for the last four days to get these imported. I realise that this is small potatoes to those who are having problems with even FCP 7 Files! But, these are q/t's of 30 hours worth of unique reserahc material I shot in Africa. I have made several programmes from this material before (one even shown on Discovery!) I WAS hoping that I could use the new and all singing FCPX to make some new programmes for teaching purposes
But, how can I do that if only some will import? As I posted elsehwre - i get the message "No importable files"
I am REALLY grateful for your expertise and advice here
thanks
Alan
PS I am using Lion

Does anyone know what the black rectangle about the receiver on the 4S is for? I want to put a screen cover on my phone but don't know if that should be covered or not.

After updating to iOS 6 my iPod Touch 4th.Gen is virtually unusable ... does anyone know how to sue Apple since they gave no warning about iOS 6 being for iPad optimisation and a killer for iPods ?

After updating to iOS 6 my iPod Touch 4th.Gen is virtually unusable ... does anyone know how to sue Apple since they gave no warning about iOS 6 being for iPad optimisation and a killer for iPods ? Before I throw away my iPod Touch does anyone know if Apple intends to rectify their obnoxious disregard for iPod users by issuing another 'upgrade' which will allow iPods to work without the constant system crashes that iOS 6 has caused ?

Contact a lawyer if you want to sue.
Otherwise try:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Does anyone know anything about a Apple walkman radio from years ago?

I found a old Apple walkman it's 5 1/2 tall, 3" wide and 1 1/4 deep. It has AM FM radio and it has a mic you can push if someone is talking to you. No speaker it only works with headphones. It has a FCC ID BRA 8ZV SAFS-107 Shinning Made in Hong Kong on the back Does anyone know what year apple came out with it or any other information about it.
Thanks!!!!!

Meg, if you enlarge the 1st photo, it clearly shows apple at the bottom right of the radio.

[i4] Does anyone know anything about the camera "patch" is made ?

Hello everyone!
The "patch" round transparent in front the camera back from my iPhone 4 does more place :-(
I therefore wish to pick up the shiny metal ring.
But what is this "patch"? I need to know the field to select the appropriate glue:
Metal-Plastic / Metal glass ...
I fear that sticks to the kind cyanolycrate superglue3 leaves me a white film on the wafer if it is plastic ...
Does anyone know anything about this "patch" is made?
Thank you in advance!
in french for french user:
Bonjour à tous !
La "pastille" ronde transparente se trouvant devant l'appareil photo arrière de mon iPhone 4 ne tient plus en place :-(
Je souhaite donc la recoller à la bague métallique brillante.
Mais en quoi se trouve cette "pastille" ? J'ai besoin de connaitre la matière pour choisir la colle appropriée: Métal sur plastique / Métal sur verre...
J'ai peur qu'une colle au cyanolycrate genre superglue3 ne me laisse une pellicule blanche sur la pastille si elle est en plastique...
Quelqu'un saurait il de quoi cette "pastille" est faite ?
Merci d'avance !

What patch are you referring to? I could be wrong, but I do not believe any such "patch" exists.
The only change to the iPhone4's design since it was released last June is that it is now available in white.

Does anyone know how I stream non-MP4 movies to apple TV?

Just migrated from PC to Mac Book Pro...love it but dissapointed that I can not stream non-MP4 movies to Apple TV as I do using CineX Player on my iPad.
Does anyone know a work around???
Many thanks
N

"Air parrot" will stream your desktop to Apple-TV.
So if you use VLC or somesuch player that has a "fullscreen" mode and plays non-MP4 movies you can stream your non-MP4 movie to AppleTV. I've done it, and it works OK, and it is as requested a "work around".
You can try it out for free (http://airparrot.com) and if you like it, it's not very expensive.
Only problem I've encountered is having to use the Mac's system preferences to switch sound back to the Mac after I've finished with Air Parrot.
Hope that helps.
Robert.
