AIR app seems to become unresponsive after sitting idle

I built a straight forward info kiosk using Flash AS3 and used AIR to distribute it.
The main items of the file:
Straight ahead navigation with buttons that jump to frame markers.
It has a 3 minute timer which returns it to the start page if it is not touched within that time limit.
It has several screens that display web pages in a component web browser window.
The problems I have hit: I have had the kiosk react as if the timer were set to 5 seconds and return to the home page too quickly. I have had buttons not work while others were working.
But a restart of the AIR app corrects these issues and it works fine. It worked fine in my office however I did not test it in auto mode over several days of turning on and off and running all day.
The system it is on is Windows 7. The system auto starts each morning, launches the app, then shuts down at days end.
Could there be an issue with the app being up for 8 hours a day? Does it need to refresh itself?
Any input is appreciated.
Thanks

Hello Chris,
It is AIR 3.2. If I download 3.3 will Flash Pro recognize that and update to 3.3 or do I need to do something in Flash to utilize the upgrade when publishing as AIR?
When you say "some sort of leak"? What would a leak be? I am not familiar with the term or what it implies?
Thank you for the quick response. I will reply with the result in the next few days. I will have to load it up and let it run to see what happens.
Thank you.

    Firefox tabs close when I simply click on a tab and windows become unresponsive after I launch a site. I am using the latest version for MacOSX but this happened a couple days ago with an older version of Firefox as well. Is this some kind of bug? How do I fix this bug? Have already tried a bunch of things like clearing/reinstalling etc. This does not help.

  • I just installed latest updates and now itunes becomes unresponsive after 10-15 minutes

    The latest OSX update (Security Update 2013-003) perhaps is breaking itunes.  It becomes unresponsive after 10-15 minutes and I have to force quit it each time.

    with that one, let's try the following procedure.
    first, head into your Add/Remove programs and uninstall your QuickTime. if it goes, good. if it doesn't, we'll just attend to it when we attend to itunes.
    next, download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. use it to clear any existing itunes and/or QuickTime installation configuration information from the PC.
    Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
    next, use the the following document as a guide for manual removal of leftover itunes and quicktime program files:
    Removing iTunes and QuickTime for Windows
    now try another itunes install. does it go through properly this time?

  • Safari becomes unresponsive after zooming on a rMBP

    On my 2.3GHz MacBook Pro w/ Retina, 16gb memory and a clean install of Mountain Lion, Safari becomes unusably unresponsive after smart-zooming on some pages.
    Here is an example:
    http://www.forbes.com/sites/nathanvardi/2012/07/27/mark-zuckerbergs-big-facebook -mistake/
    After smart-zooming on the article body, Safari stops responding for a significant amount of time.
    I have tried on 1440, 1680, 1920, and 2880 width resolutions. Also, I do not have any extensions installed, not even Flash.
    Is anyone else seeing the same issue?

    Unfortunately, I have not found any solutions to this issue.
    My guess is that zooming in Safari uses a strategy similar to pixel-doubling on the rMBP. So when you try to zoom to 200%, it actually creates a web page double in size, then limits the viewport to the size of your Safari window. When you couple that with the retina's pixel-doubling, a 960px width webpage might actually require 3840px of processing behind the scenes.
    I might be way off in that explanation, but that's how sluggish it feels on certain web pages.
    Additionally, the web page itself can contribute to the problem, depending on how optimized the code is. For example, smart-zooming on the Facebook feed seems ok, while any article on Forbes.com will stutter horribly.

  • Safari becomes unresponsive after approx. 24 hours uptime on machines

    I have two macs (MacBook 2.4 Core2 Duo and Mac Mini 2.0 Core2 Duo both running Snow Leopard 10.6.4 and Safari 5) that are experiencing the same problem with Safari. Namely, after around 24 hours up bootup, Safari becomes unresponsive. That is to say, to attempt to open other webpages or scroll through open webpages results in almost perpetual "beach balls". Force quitting and restarting Safari doesn't help the problem.
    The only thing that DOES work is to completely reboot the computer. This has been going on for quite some time now and I'm totally flummoxed. I'd offer up more information to help troubleshoot it, but I don't know what else to try.
    Any suggestions?
    Much thanks.

    Hey HEY I THINK I may have figured it out. I opened console to watch what was happening when Safari would open. I noticed that right after the evernote plugin would appear in console, safari would being the beach ball bit. I had attempted uninstalling Evernote in the past without any change in safari behaviour. But right BEFORE on console it showed that an app called TastyApps AV was loaded.
    I did a google search on TastyApps AV and found this thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9492075
    THAT AV plugin is for a program called VideoBox, which I actually use now and again. BUT on that thread people had stated to uninstall the Safari AV plugin for wonky issues under Leopard. So I opened VideoBox, and under the dropdown menu there was an option to uninstall that safari plugin. Once I did that, Safari IMMEDIATELY began running faster even before closing out / opening it again.
    Once closed / reopened, it still takes a moment to get going (at the time evernote is appearing to start up in console) but after that it seems to be working pretty much ok.
    Fingers crossed, I think this may have corrected the problem.

  • The video on the Camera app seems to turn off after a few min...I am trying to do a 20 min video.   What am I doing wrong please?

    The camera app has a video feature on it and I tried to do a 20 min video but it seems to turn off after a few minutes.  I tried twice with the same results.  There is no info under settings or anywhere on time restraints.  Does anyone have any suggestions please? 

    Sasabean-
    I do not know if this is related to your problem, but there is a setting on the iPad called "Auto-Lock".  Mine is set for 5 minutes.  One of the options is Never.  See Settings-General-Auto-Lock.

  • AIR app does not open anymore after minimizing on windows

    Hi guys,
    I need some help in figuring out a strange issue I am facing.
    I have an AIR app whih is minimizable. When I run it on windows XP and minimize it, it gets minimized. But
    clicking on the task bar does not open the app anymore. The task manager shows that the CPU usage for the app has gone upto 50%
    and it consistently stays over there with out recovering from it.
    Right clicking on it and then trying it to close shows me the windows dialog: "the program is not responding".
    MInimizing and re-opening works fine on MAC.
    Anyone has ideas on what might be happening? Suggestions or pointers on how to debug this?
    thanks,
    Sunil

    It turns out that in one of my UI components, the top level item was a VBox which was using a list of HBox components and the height of each HBox component was set to VBox height /5.
    I modified the height to be set to "100%" for each HBox.
    and everything worked fine.
    I really do not know how it can cause the application to hang earlier.
    thanks,
    Sunil

  • Won't print after sitting idle for a while

    Officejet Pro 8600 Plus. I have to turn the printer off and back on after it sits idle for a while. The printer shows on line in the control panel until you try to print then it goes off line. Wireless network Windows 7.

    Hello LARMC, and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
    I see you are experiencing idle issues.  I would like to help.
    I would recommend performing a power reset.  Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
    I would also suggest downloading and running the HP Print and Scan Doctor.
    Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

  • X200 lockups after sitting idle

    I have a x200 that lockups when sitting idle for a while. I have the computer not set to go to sleep only turn the monitor off when on AC power.
    It is running Windows Vista Business.
    Please help.

    Possibly I've got the same problem on my X200. Here are the descriptions:
    System config:
    Thinkpad X200 (with 2G original DDR3, 5100agn, bluetooth, fingerprint reader, integrated camera. WITHOUT turbo memory.)
    Windows XP SP3
    With all drivers and necessary softwares downloaded and installed from official source (most of them using System Update).
    Hibernation is on.
    Screensaver is on (e.g., 5 minutes).
    Password on resume from screensaver is on.
    And the problem is like this: when I leave the machine idle for 5 minutes or more, then it enters screensaver. Then I come to the machine to enter, and the problem comes:
    If it's the first time that I want to return from screensaver since system startup, the screen will show nothing but the system wallpaper and a mouse pointer. Yes, only wall paper, no logon window, no taskbar, even no task manager after Ctrl-Alt-Del. BUT, after 2 minutes or so, the logon window would appear. I can return to the desktop by either password or fingerprint.
    However, if it's not the first time that I return to desktop from screensaver, such problem won't occur. I wonder what the problem is, and whether it's the same one that wreed encountered. I tried to disable and enable hibernation, disable or enable the fingerprint reader, but none worked. All the drivers and software are official...
    PS, the machine comes with another problem: after hours of use, when I shutdown the machine, winlogon.exe would report an error, and then bluescreen and reboot. I'll try to catch the detailed information and post another post here.

  • IPhone loses cell signal after sitting idle

    My iPhone will lose the signal bars when sitting idle for a period of time. After shutting down the power and restarting the bars come back. Any recommendations?

    No recommendations, but I've been experiencing the exact same problem for about a month now.
    It's also interesting that after I reset the iphone I get a message on itunes asking me to send my crash information to Apple!

  • Keyboard becomes unresponsive after using keyboard shortcut for Spaces?

    Hi, I'm using Mac OS X 10.6.2 and have the most annoying bug! I always use spaces, and sometimes after using the keyboard shortcut to a space, my keyboard becomes completely unresponsive and I have to log out and log back in again!! Any known fixes? It's happening on my Macbook and Mac Mini!
    Thanks

    Check this thread (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2161076&start=0&tstart=0) for the exact issue. Seems widespread.

  • 4S becomes unresponsive after Genius Bar restore.

    A member of the Genius Bar restored my iPhone 4S because of some 'minor' errors such as crashing apps taking up space. She done it yesterday and now it has become more unresponsive than ever.
    Whenever I'm in a call I can't unlock it or use it whilst in a call (FaceTime, FaceTime audio, skype, Facebook call) I have to hard reset the phone which is kind if annoying!
    She also said these words "it'll speed up your iPhone making it as fast as it's supposed to be". Its not fast. Not fast at all, infact I can tell that it's more slower and laggier .-.
    Can someone please give me some insight on how to fix this?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Solutions for 3TB USB 3 Seagate hdd becomming unresponsive after sustained (about an hour) usage on iMac7,1 running Lion 10.7.1?

    I am running Lion 10.7.1 on my iMac7,1. After Time Machine warned that my 2TB Western Digital MyBook drive had filled up, I purchased a Seagate 3TB FreeAgent Desk USB 3 hdd for use with Time Machine with the understanding that USB 3 is USB 2 backward compatible. About an hour after initiating my Time Machine backup, I have repeatedly observed that the drive becomes non-responsive, causing finder, or any other program trying to access it to get stuck at a spinning beach ball. After repeatedly reformatting the drive, and repeating the process, I contacted Seagate tech support that informed me that there were seeing many cases of problems with USB 3 devices not working properly (in USB 2 compatibility mode) with Macs. Has anyone else seen this type of behaviour that can suggest a fix?
    Relevant details:
    I'm using a 24" iMac7,1 with 6 GB of RAM and a 2TB internal WD hard drive running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.1.
    I have been using Time Machine in Leopard, Snow Leopard, and Lion with a 2TB USB 2 WD MyBook external hdd with no appearant issues.
    I am having issues with a Seagate STAC3000101 drive that consists of 2 reassembled modules.
    a appearantly stock SATA drive in a self-contained plastic housing with a bit extra sheilding and mechanical reinforcement on the SATA connector.
    a USB 3.0 base that takes external power, and connects to the above module.
    The drive was formatted with a single 3 TB Mac OS X Extended (Case-Sensitive/Journaled) partition formatted by Mac Disk Utility
    Testing has revealed that
    Copying a > 4GB file to the drive does not cause the problem (This sounded like a Windows 32 bit filesystem issue anyway)
    Causing Lion to "Sleep" while in the middle of a file copy did not cause the problem either. (Waking the system made it pick up right where it left off).

    I don't recommend using any sort of 'disk cleaning' software - OS X is based on Unix and cleans up after itself very well: no need to use utilities that purport to 'clean' your system and certainly not on a daily basis. If you must use anything I would recommend use Onyx - and just using it to clear logs and caches maybe a couple of times a year.
    I'm not suggesting that Ccleaner had/has anything to do with your problem. It could even be out-of-date Wacom tablet drivers.
    As for the Unarchiver software, the Mac has zip unarchiving built in and I would suggest using one of the unrar apps available in the App Store if you run into rar files for some reason. Again, it's likely not at the root of your problems, but there are free or nearly free alternatives.
    Have you tried upgrading to Mountain Lion, particularly on your 2012 machine? It's supposed to fix some USB problems. Also make certain again that you have the very latest Wacom drivers - that's really the only thing that I can see that might be causing the problem on both of your machines.
    Good luck,
    Clinton
