Adding assets to Windows Phone project takes way too much time !

So I'm trying to make a universal app for Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1. Back when I was doing a WP 8.0 app it took an extreme amount of time to mark all my assets as content since when I drop in my compiled shader files (with .vs and .ps extensions)
VS doesn't know they are meant to be content so I have to do that manually.
I'm now seeing how marking just 4 files as "Content" in VS2013 in a universal app takes around 10+ seconds ! Is there an extension list somewhere so that when I add in the files they're marked as Content by default ?
Also, I might add that I have around 6000 shaders in my project and I tried marking about 1000 at a time, waited 10 minutes and it wasn't done ! (Visual Studio hanged !). It feels as though it tries to reload all assets in the project for every small little
change.

Yes, I already know that the project file is an XML, the problem is 1) that I need to also add the "Copy Always" flag which is a child to the Content tag
<Content Include="Shaders\DX11\4_0_level_9_3\UberShader_PS_-48991411.info.xml"> <CopyToOutputDirectory>Always</CopyToOutputDirectory> </Content> <Content Include="Shaders\DX11\4_0_level_9_3\UberShader_PS_-602767781.info.xml"> <CopyToOutputDirectory>Always</CopyToOutputDirectory> </Content>
and doing copy-paste for 6000 items is not something I want to do all day and 2) We're in 2015 and all of a sudden IDEs are not useable anymore and we need to go to manual file editing because it takes 1 second to modify 1 attribute ?
Furthermore I would classify this issue as a VS bug that shouldn't go through QA, is there a public bug reporter for Visual Studio ? Take note that this issue existed for the past 2 years, ever since the WP8.0 SDK. I kind of thought that VS2013 or Update
1 through 4 would fix this :|
UPDATE : One more oddity that came up, I just added a couple more .cs files to a Universal App and for some reason my PC was running slow, then I found these processes
Were pretty much eating 80% of my CPU. The other devenv.exe is from a solution I closed like 10 minutes before.
I also noticed how if I change the source control plug-in to none, every time I open my Universal App .sln I get the Git plug-in again !

Downloaded ios 6 to iphone but don't want to install. How do i remove download from phone. Takes up too much room.

The ios 6 download takes up too much room. I don't want to install it, but I don't know how to get rid of the download. Any way to get rid if it?

There is no way to get rid of it now that it is earmarked for the phone. I can respect your choice to hold to Maps, but you will need to install eventually. While this may not matter to you, the Maps app has worked fine for me, however I live in the US and that could make a difference.

Is this a bug or has someone at Apple got way too much time on their hands?

This must be a bug; I can't believe that someone sat there and actually made this happen on purpose!
When invoking any of the key commands to open the Hyper Draw display in the Piano Roll Editor, the Hyper Draw display takes a full TEN SECONDS to fully open. It takes another ten seconds to close with key commands too! Fortunately, the Hyper Draw button is instantaneous. Unfortunately, I hate using the mouse when a key command is available.

Well... looks like I stumbled on a combination of keys that cause this phenomenon.
I just tried changing my key commands from...
Hyper Draw: Volume (Control-Shift-V)
Hyper Draw: Modulation (Control-Shift-M)
Hyper Draw: Auto Define (Control-Shift-A) etc.
to...
Hyper Draw: Volume (Control-Option-V)
Hyper Draw: Modulation (Control-Option-M)
Hyper Draw: Auto Define (Control-Option-A)
...and it cured it! Seems that using the Shift key triggers a slow-motion effect?
Possibly linked to the slow-motion effect in Exposé

Takes unusually too much time for shut down R Macbook pro 15

During the shut down procedure I have the white screen for unusually long time. My R Mac book pro is a new one I have had this since the first day. I download a fresh OS X but still the same.

You're still under warranty. Take full advantage of it by calling Apple Care about your concerns.

I have been trying to upgrade my iPad 2, v4.3.5 since the 5.0 versions were released. I have spend way too much time trying to upgrade so I can enjoy apps which require the newer version. I have read so many comments about others having the same problem

Every time I start the download process in iTunes, it stalls and nothing happens. I've tried restoring, and I've followed and tried all of Apple's instructions and directions but it still doesn't work. I do not see this specific problem addressed by Apple anywhere. After reading the posts in this community, I am sure that the problem does not lie within only my iPad. If that is the case, why is there no answer on how to fix this problem. I am at my wit's end and would appreciate any ideas...although I've tried fooling with DNS numbers, fooling with the wifi, turning it off and on, creating a new iTunes account and downloading from that account. I've read about jailbreak software but my version isn't covered yet. HELP!!!

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

How do you add Silverlight to an exiating "Blank App (WIndows Phone)" project?

I created a new Windows Phone project in VS, and I specified a template of "Blank App (Windows Phone)".
I then added the following to App.xaml.cs:
using System.IO.IsolatedStorage;
I get an error with the squiggly red line underneath "IsolatedStorage" that says:
The type or namespace named 'IsolatedStorage' does not exist in the namespace 'System.IO' (Are you missing an assembly reference?)
If I create the project using the "Blank App (Windows Phone Silverlight)" then I do not get the error.
This makes sense, as IsolatedSTorage is a Silverlight function.
What I would like to know is how to "add" Silverlight to the first project so that the IsolatedStorage reference is valid.
I assume I need to add a reference?

You cannot. You can write a Windows Phone app as either a Silverlight app or a Runtime app, but you cannot add Silverlight to a Runtime app.
To access app data in a Runtime app (and in a modern Silverlight apps: IsolatedStorage is a legacy API) you can use the Application Data and StorageFile API. See
Accessing app data with the Windows Runtime and Managing app data for details.

Since upgrading my phone to 6.0.1, I'm using way too much data. I believe it's the podcast app that's not loading shows while I'm connected to wifi. I have the 3g turned off for podcasts??? also after a phone call or an alert it starts playing a podcast?

I've also had the same issues, after upgrading to IOS 6.0, the apps in my iPhone 4 were crashing and the battery life run out very fast.
The only solution worked for me was to remove all mail accounts (Exchange/Gmail) from my iPhone (in settings) and then add them back.
The crashing were stopped! also the battery was back to normal.
I found the solution by first looking at the crash logs (in IOS 6). you can find them at Settings -> General -> About (at the bottom of the About menu you will find the option that opens the logs).
There i saw many logs about Low Memory crash. 99% of the logs were pointed that the largest process (use the most memory) during the crashes is "dataaccessd".
I search in the web and found that this process is a deamon process that reponsible the Mail accounts (like Exchange/Gmail) and contancts list.
I've installed the app "System Status - activity monitor" which shows important system info like CPU usage, Memory usage and running processes.
Before apply my solution (deleting the mail accounts) i saw that the CPU usage was very high which consume the battery very fast. Also i saw that the memory (RAM) was run out.. which probably what cause the crashing..
After deleting the mail accounts (at Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars) i check again with the System Status app, and saw that the memory and CPU were back to normal.
Adding the mail accounts back, still everything work ok
Hope this solution will help you too,
Enjoy!

IMac takes way too long to initialize

Hi all,
when I start my 17" iMac intel duo core it takes way too long to start-up. This is a recent phenomena. Before (presumably before I did something to the computer to cause this) the start-up time was very quick as it should be. I've 2 GB of RAM - so I know it's not a RAM issue. I've lots of hard disk storage left too. I just can't figure out what's taking it so long, nor do I know how to remedy the cause.
Also, I have Windows XP installed as a partition, and when I restart going to windows, or coming back to OSX 10.4.11 the initialize time is too long.
Note that i've tried all steps listed in troubleshooting in the iMac User's Guide, and they don't work.
1. Has anyone any thoughts about how to revert to the quick start-up times?
2. Does anybody know what keys to hold so that when you power on the iMac you can choose which operating system to start in?
Any help is appreciated,
Vincenso

Auto login meaning that you do not type in your name and password when you first boot up. Do you have a lot of fonts installed on this machine? There may be something or many things set to auto launch when you sign in and depending on what it is may take a while to load up. Anit-virus software? Go to your Apple menu in the top left corner of the Finder and go to your System Preferences. Click on Accounts, your user, then Login Items. There it will show you a list of all the applications that launch when you sign in.

You may need to reset your network settings, making sure the network you're accessing is stable: tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
If your iPhone still can't connect to App Store, tap Settings > iTunes & App Store > tap the Apple ID and sign out > later, sign in with your Apple ID.

Such an error is usually a problem with a cookie that is too large and not the URL, unless there is really a lot of GET data appended. Cookies are send as part to the HTTP response headers.
If clearing the cookies doesn't help then it is possible that the file cookies.sqlite that stores the cookies is corrupted.
Rename (or delete) cookies.sqlitecookies.sqlite-journal and cookies.txt, if they exist, in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder] in case cookies.sqlite got corrupted.

How do i get rid of these dumb icons on my menu bar. they are not useful and they take up too much room. why did you do this?

i just upgraded to the new version of firefox. for some inexplicable reason, you've added icons to the left of my personal menu choices in the menu bar. these icons are purely decorative, they take up too much room, and now i can't display as many clickable items in the menu bar. extremely irritating. if you are going to add junk, at least give us the option to not display it. is there a way that i can turn off the display of these useless icons?

thank you! that worked! appreciate how quickly and accurate the support was.
that said,
it would be nice if the icons were the add-on,
and the default was no icons.
i'm sure the majority of your users would prefer function rather than fluff.
thanks again, mj

Updating the ipod with itunes takes too much time

i have like 3000 songs in my itunes library ,but when i change some track's names o change anything of my songs in a diferent way like putting their names in capital letters or changing their artworks..etc ,itunes takes too much time updating the changes to my ipod................. why?

Generally the iPod update is pretty quick unless you are making many hundreds of changes at a time. It could be the USB port is slow, try it in another port, preferably on the back of the PC, some computers have underpowered ports on the front panel. Also the recommended system requirements are for USB 2, it will work from a USB 1 port but much slower if that's the type of port you have.

Too much Time until logon window after applying Security Configuration Wizard on DC

Hi,
The scenario is the following:
Domain Controller on Windows 2012 R2
DHCP installed on Domain Controller
Clients: Win7, Win8
Servers: Win2008/R2, Win2012 R2
After applying a SCW template on a DC, the logon window takes too much time to appear (after reboot, lock or sign out).
The seetings in the template are the following:
Select Server Roles: All of the default options selected by SCW
Select Client Features: All of the default options selected by SCW
Select Administration and Other Options: All of the default options selected by SCW
Select Additional Services: All of the default options selected by SCW
Handling Unspecified Services: Do not change the startup mode of the service
Network Security Roles: All of the default options selected by SCW
Require SMB Security Features: 2 checkboxes marked
Require LDAP Signing: the checkbox marked
Outbound Authentication Methods: Domain Accounts
Outbound Authentication using Domain Accounts: 2 checkboxes marked
Inbound Authentication Methods: none of the checkboxes marked
System Audit Policy: Audit successful activities
The question is:
What options(s) include/exclude from SCW template that avoid too much time logon windows takes to appear?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Based on my research, SCW helps administrators to ensure that only those services, application capabilities, and ports required for the roles to function are available; anything not specifically needed by the roles the server holds will be disabled. These
tasks above all consume time to implement, which causes the delay for the Windows logon screen to display.
Therefore, as the way I see it, it is a normal behavior, and I didn’t find any option which could avoid/reduce time spent on applying settings within the SCW template.

White MacBook takes too much time to boot up

Hi there.
I got the topcase(keyboard) of my MacBook repaired. (White MacBook 2006) and after that it takes nearly 7 up to 10 seconds after pressing the power button that I first see apple logo and it boots up.
I'm not sure but seems like that detecting the hardwares take too much time .
any solution?
PS: I'm running Snow Leopard(10.6.2)

Yes PRAM was the the problem, I've already tried it from this thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2303507&tstart=0
