Well, I made it to the Apple store and they, contrary to the guys at B&H, confirmed my original suspicion and yours: that the drive was failing. I bought a replacement drive and am restoring my time machine back up now.
I am a bit annoyed that the B&H guys got this one wrong but I have to give them credit for underselling me rather than overselling me; I do appreciate that.
Also worth mentioning is that the 3TB Seagate drive was less than 2 years old and is supposedly still under warrantee. I am looking forward to seeing what kind of support I get from them.
So big thanks to you, Bob, for your very good suggestions. The Apple community has come through strong for me and I appreciate it.

Web based videos (youtube etc) have no sound and then stops after 4 seconds

When i try to play a video clip from any web site, the video plays with no sound for exactly 4 seconds, then it stops.
I can 'scroll' the time line anywhere, and the video plays from that point for another 4 seconds -still without sound.
Ive tried to upgrade to the lates version of flash player, and no difference.
This aplies to all web based videos that uses a flash based video player.
I'm using the Linux version of flash player on a Acer laptop with intel CPU and graphics, the computer runs Kubuntu Linux V11.10 Oneiric Ocelot kernel version 3.0.0-12
Any ideas?

Hi sorry for the delay in responding.
I'm not using any client side code as far as I am aware.
I think I should have said: Flash CS3 video Encoder, as I am
running both Production Premium Creative Suite 3, and also CS3 Web
Premium.
All I did was convert some AVI files that went through
Premiere Pro CS3 and After Affects etc, in Flash Video Encoder. I'm
not doing any live streaming.
THe FLVplackcomponent is the one generated in Dreamweaver
CS3, I choose Insert / Flash Video and choose the Streaming
options, I fill out the rtmp details ( I have another thread on an
issue there as a firewall blocks some of the files and I cannot use
rtmpt) and it works!!
If you have a suggestion for a better workflow or precedure I
would appreciate it.
It is just this one FLV file that seems to do this. I have
since chnaged this one file to Progressive and it plays fine.
I hope this helps.
These files are then placed in the applications folder in
Flash Media Server 2.0 directory.
This works fine

Unable to view web-based videos

For the past few days, I have been unable to view web-based videos with the exception of YouTube. I am running Windows 7, IE 10, and am using Flash Player ver 11.8.800.94. Have tried using Beta ver 11.8.800.115 with no change. I have run 2 different anti-virus/anti-malware programs, and nothing was found. Have un-installed/re-installed Flash Player several times, and still receive messages telling me I need to download Flash Player. My system shows that I am running Flash Player 32-bit, but no videos besides YouTube will play. have been in contact with Microsoft for assisstance, and have followed all their suggestions, but still no luck. I am down to rebooting my laptop from scratch but thought I would see if you might be able to assisst me first.Any suggestions?

Logitech c615 with iMac & web-based video chat

How do I get a Logitech c615 to work with web-based video chat sites? Works with Skype, Face Time, etc. Can select it in Chrome browser but still uses builtin cam. Would use the builtin cam but your adjustments are tilting/twisting the monitor and moving closer/farther from the monitor. Really?! Is it possible to set an external camera as default for web-based video or is it yet another regret I have from switching from PC?

on a related topic - I have the same camera but I can't hear people when I facetime - it's ok with Skype though
can you help?

Free web-based Oracle administration tool

Is there a free web-based Oracle Administration tool? Oracle SQL Developer is a free tool but not web-based. There are many web-based Shareware Oracle administration tools but I could not find a free tool. If anyone knows anything about it, please let me know.
Thank You for your help in advance!

Server Not Found.
Is this an intranet site? Did you inherit this mess? I don't mean to be rude or sarcastic but this code is terrible. I'm amazed that this is being used on a dot GOV server. I suppose if the public can't see it, it doesn't matter to the FAA that this site is a web accessibility and maintenance nightmare. 100+ redundant .styles on a single web page. That has to be a new record. If this site were in my charge, I'd recommend a total rebuild.
Anyway, in an attempt to answer your question, 90% of display problems are code related. Use the links below to check your code and fix all reported errors.

Web-based video capture and detection using web cam

to anyone:
is it possible to capture video and detect motion using a web cam in a web based application?how is it done?
if not possible, what solutions can you suggest so that i can put it on a web based application?
tnx for the help..

Ironman wrote:
I'm sure it could be achieved by capturing individual frames, say one every second or so, and then doing a checksum on the image bytes and compare it with the previous frames checksum - if they were different then the frames are different and therefore motion can be assumed. If you don't want to check the entire image you can choose a tile, say in the centre of the picture, and checksum this. I use this technique to detect frozen images if CCTV cameras are causing problems. This other thread may also help :

Wow, now that is good idea. I guess you don't need external hardware to check for movement. Brilliant!

Embed Web based reviews into PDF

We are using the ESM solution accelerator which initiates web-based reviews. The comment files created by Acrobat are stored as RSS feeds. At the end of a stage, I need to deliver a self-contained PDF with all the comments. I'm looking for DDX or the process to do that. I have the logic to get at all the supporting files (PDF, comment files) but, I can't seem to figure out how to "import" the RSS feeds as annotations into the source PDF.
Thanks,
Charles

The comments are stored in xml in the review zone provider.
You can use a DDX to import the comments in the PDF.

Web based video erroring - Message: 'SWFObject' is undefined

Hoping someone can help.
Basically created some training videos for our sharepoint site. Published them within captivate 4, taken the htm, js and the swf file and placed them in a folder on sharepoint as in the below error. They work fine and dandy for a couple of people who have captivate installed, but try from any other machine and its a no go. It just errors as shown below.
Any thoughts on what it could be? I have tried permissions, I have ensured all URI's in files are correct, tried full url and shortcutted url, but still same error.
Webpage error details
User Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1; Trident/4.0; GTB6.6; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0; MS-RTC EA 2; Tablet PC 2.0; InfoPath.3; MS-RTC LM 8; .NET4.0C; .NET4.0E; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; MS-RTC LM 8)
Timestamp: Fri, 11 Feb 2011 11:45:46 UTC
Message: 'SWFObject' is undefined
Line: 20
Char: 5
Code: 0
URI: http://sharepoint/test/device.htm
Message: 'document.getElementById(...)' is null or not an object
Line: 34
Char: 3
Code: 0
URI: http://sharepoint/test/device.htm

Your error message looks like it cannot file some of the Javascript objects that should be accessible for everything to work.
Check the files on your Sharepoint site to make sure the standard.js file that is required by Captivate content also made it safely to the same folder where the HTM and SWF files are located. My guess is that either the JS file isn't there on the server, or something is blocking it from working.

Because I know enough to be dangerous... I was trying to extend the two outside columns down.... Instead of just using faux columns which I have fixed since I posted the question.
The other link problem is the left sidebar links. When you go to the event photos page I have a repeat of the sidebar links that are on the newsletter page. I used named anchors on the newsletter page to link to the particular article. From the Event Photos page the links look like this:
<a href="1112Visions_Iss1.html/#puzzle" target="_self">[Puzzle]</a>
The problem I am having is that some of these go to the newsletter page and the anchor and some do not (I get an error message saying it can't find the page). To add to the problem is that when we choose say the President's Message, when it goes to the newsletter page and the correct anchor, the newsletter page is missing all the links to the graphics... the photos are missing the graphic for the faux columns is missing. It makes no sense. When I preview the newsletter page from Dreamweaver everything shows up fine.
I do not know if all of this is being caused because I haven't posted this stuff to the site or what. I've tried re-booting both the browser and Dreamweaver, dumping the cache and still the same nonsense.
Got any ideas?

IE locks when printing to pdf from a web-based page or pdf

Acrobat 7 standard. IE 6 on XPPro64. It is a 64 bit machine and so printer drivers had to be obtained for 64 bit. When I try to print to "Adobe pdf", the current page out of a 200 page catalog being viewed online, IE locks up and the print job in the queue is unresponsive. It does this no mayyer the site or file being printed from. Other than this, Acrobat seems to work on on the 64 bit machine. Same thing if the page isn't a pdf but an ordinary html page. Printing to pdf hangs no matter what. Is this a known bug for 64 bit? It's at work, and the IT dept loves to mess with things, lock things etc, but I can't think how it could be related to that.

I think that the earliest version that has successfully run under X64 is AA8.1.2. I think that AA7 will not work on X64 as I recall the various reports of attempts by others to do that.

Enabling PDFs for various types of user input can strengthen the interaction between users and the content, and improve satisfaction due to greater user involvement/control. In addition, designated avenues for user input can contribute to documentation quality and provide outlet for frustration, for example by sending inputs regarding the documentation or the product directly from within the PDF.
Techniques demonstrated in this webinar include features that are all embedded in PDFs that are viewed with the free Adobe Reader:
• text fields where users can record data values and options
• checkboxes to track progress
• page marks and notes (optionally e-mailed)
• embedded grading/feedback forms
• storing of useful search queries within the PDF for future use
