Anybody having probs w/extremely long synchs?

I lost my 1G Nano 2 weeks ago, two days before the 2G Nano's went on sale, so I bought one. Did the "upgrade" to iTunes v7 (and subsequently v7.0.1) and have also updated my Nano firmware to 1.0.2, so I think I'm running the latest versions. I am, however, experiencing extremely long synchs with the new Nano. Generally what I get is about a 20-second "handshake" where I can see the synch wheel on the Nano display spinning, then it goes away for a LONG time. Meanwhile iTunes just sits there using nearly 100% of my resources and saying "Updating iPod. Do not disconnect". Generally after somewhere between 5 and 10 minutes goes by, the synch wheel reappears on the Nano screen and then if songs need to be transferred that happens (at normal speed) and then everything's over.
So, what this means is that it takes usually about 10 minutes for the thing to synch, even if no songs, podcasts, etc. are being added or deleted. The weird thing is that every 6 or 7 synchs I get a quick synch like I should. I can't figure out when this happens and have even synched the thing multiple times, leaving it in the dock and just repeatedly selecting "synch" from the Device menu, and not using the computer for anything else. I'll get a few long synchs, then one normal one, then back to long ones.
Very frustrating.
Thanks for any help!

You're software's definitely up to date for your iPod.
I've seen a couple of reports of people having long syncs with the latest iTunes. From what I've seen, the newer iTunes seems to take more of the computer's processor than the older iTunes versions did.
If your PC is a desktop make sure you have the iPod plugged in to a USB port on the rear of the computer. You might also want to make sure you have the latest drivers for your computer installed... you can check that in Device Manager (double click on what you want to check, and you'll see the update button).
To get to Device Manager, click on Start, right click on My Computer, and click on Manage. Then, click on Device Manager in the left-hand column.
Sorry it's not the magic fix you're probably looking for, but I hope it helps for the time being.

Notes in a contact in OUtlook are no longer synched with my contacts on iphone

Hi I noticed recently that the notes that I make about a person in their contact in Outlook is no longer synched with the Iphone.
Does anybody know if there is a way to make this synch again?

What about the opposite way:
Create a test contact on iCloud, wait a few minutes, do you see it on the Mac?
In Mac's Contacts > Preferences... > Accounts > Is the iCloud account enabled?

Extremely long(10 minute) Full GC times

I have a problem that seems unrelated to traditional GC tuning. Full Garbage Collection on my server (x86, Linux, 2 proc, 2GB memory, 1GB Heap) is taking in excess of 10 minutes. The frequency of the Full GC is about every 8-10 hours. I've combed some posts for issues related to long GC, but long is a relative term, and usually refers to 2-10 second range.
My question is, what kinds of things could cause such an extremely long GC. My theory is that this particular machine is hosting some other applications, most notably a mysql server that is connected to remotely. With this setup, another application could be using resources on this primary server while the Full GC is executing, thus causing a thrashing scenario from a CPU perspective. But even so, it seems that this wouldn't cause Full GC to take 2 orders of magnitude longer.
I've currently changed to the CMS garbage collector, so the long pauses are not a problem, but I'd really like to understand why such a long Full GC pause is even possible, and what can be done about it using the serial Collector

Possibly the objects that are being garbage collected, are having their finalize() method called. It's not normally guaranteed that the GC will call an objects finalize() method....but you never know.
In that case, the finalize() method(s) maybe be timing out, eg. trying to close database or network connections, and taking 60 seconds or more to time out individually.
It's just a wild guess...

Owen

Extremely long compression time

I am trying to compress a 6 minute video into a quicktime movie. It starts out saying it will only take 3 minutes to share. Then it quickly moves up to 17 minutes before coming to a halt.
Anybody have any ideas on what I am doing wrong or is this common? On previous videos this has never happened. I've tried doing a different video and it is also taking an extremely long time to compress.
Thanks for the help

I think possibly it could have something to do with my video settings. I don't know much about video settings.
We are producing these videos that range from 7-30min from a video camera. We don't need audio (already took that out) and we don't need the best of quality on the video. It obviously needs to be decent enough to see what is going on without straining, but beyond that I don't need much.
Does anybody have any suggestions on the type of video settings I could use in the expert settings? I believe iMovie is trying to compress much more information than I really need. Thanks for the help.

Extremely long time when executing an export transaction data package link

Hi,
I am working in a packagelink to export transaction data to the application server. The package which I am currently using is /CPMB/EXPORT_TD_TO_APPL. I use it to generate an output file which I later use in a different appliation to register modifications applied in BPC.
It has been working correctly without problems for a time. The problem is that suddenly it stopped working. Maybe because of some changes in the dimension library (is it feasible?) . I defined and scheduled again the packagelink and it began working correctly again, but the time it takes to execute the process is really long. Approximately it takes above 10 hours, which is an extremely long time for the process. In the beginning, the packagelink was executed in an hour and a half. Could anybody tell me any idea about what can be the reason of this problem?
Any help will b much appreciated.

Extremely long Master File Sharing/Export times (MP4)

I, too, it seems, am having extremely long Sharing times with my FCP X project(s). It's a one hour, 50 minute HD video. Nothing fancy, just a couple talking heads comprised of 7 .mov files and appx. 65 graphics and black generators as B-Roll. When I share it to a Master File as an MP4 video it takes nearly 36 hours to complete.
The Transcoding takes more than 8 hours before it gets to the export phase. I have "Create Optimized Media" and "Create Proxy Media"checked in the FCP X Prefs and have Background Rendering switched off, FWIW.
I have a 13" MacBook Pro (mid 2012) 8GB RAM, 1TB HD and running 10.9.2. I don't know if it makes a difference but I have Perian and Flip4Mac installed.
Activity Monitor shows that I'm using 6.34GB physical memory and 10.5GB Virtual Memory. The Memory Pressure graph is green. Activity Monitor shows these processes: a kernel task of 750MB, FCP using 600MB and ProTranscoder Tool using 286MB.
I've shared copies of this same video to YouTube and it took about just as long but it shared successfully.
I was just wondering if there was any way to cut down on the rendering time - which, based on what I've seen in the discussions may not really be possible on a 2-hour video. I will have another video in a week or so to finish and it's the same length. Also, I may have a couple more projects in the future (if the client likes these) that will be similar. My goal is to not have to wait days for a project export/share to be complete. Worse, as was the case today, I decided to add one more 5-second graphic and had to re-do the entire Transcode/Export process.
I looked into getting Compressor but that doesn't seem really necessary or beneficial in my case and, based on the reviews, can actually add even MORE time to the process, it seems.
Thanks for any suggestions or pointers. I'll continue to look through the discussions for info.

Since I just downloaded the trial version and started this project I'm still learning as I go. At this point, I may actually end up having to purchase FCP (which I actually REALLY like - except for the hideous export times). I used the OLD Final Cut Pro a good many years ago on a G-4 Quicksilver so this is somewhat of a re-learning experience.
When I began the project I'm trying to finish (now that I recall) I actually exported it from iMovie to FCP. That's when I needed help using the generators because I needed to cover the 16:9 video while using a 4:3 graphic. I began using this current version of FCP without initially setting or changing any preferences. So, I believe the Optimize was already toggled. I wasn't sure abut the proxy but you cleared that up for me. Thanks! I just made sure those two were toggled for this latest share/export because of something I read about maximizing (which I'm doing a lot of these days!).
The second program's .mov files I shot and began editing were imported directly into FCP and, again, I don't recall that I toggled the Optimize option. I know I was sure to copy both programs' files to their project and not keep them in place (avoiding potential file issues). I also exported that second, similar, video at one point (probably because of the issues with the first program) and it, too, took a comparable amount of time to export. It is an hour and fifteen munutes long.
Since my MBP is new, I got the (what I assumed to be)was the maximum RAM. I've since learned you can (expensively) actually upgrade it to 16GB. I'll opt for a SSD first, tho ;-)
When I get a chance after I'm finished with this current export ( which occur tomorrow sometime :-/ ) I'll try the Pro Res export and then try the MPEG Streamclip (which I have and use frequently) option.
I'm using a new Toshiba Canvio 3.0 Plus external 1.5TB (non-Thunderbolt) drive formatted Extended/Journaled/GUID partition to store my project and actually did quit FCP and restarted the MBP prior to beginning this export with no browsers running.
And, fwiw, at 6:30pm EST the project is 44% of the way through the Transcoding process.
Thanks for your help and time.

Extremely long build times using object oriented code

We have a LabVIEW application that we need to build an .exe for distrubution purposes. The application relies on several object-oriented classes for data handling and dynamic dispatch type casting and function selection. Currently it takes approximately 1.5 hours to build the application and it seems that most of the time is spent processing the object oriented files. Has anyone else seen this issue and are there any creative ways to improve the build times?

Hi again. We are still having issues using LVOOP due to extrmely long .exe build times as well as long labview loading times. I traced the source of this to one class hierarchy, shown below. This hierarchy also relies heavily on overriding top-level functions, declared as virtual VIs in the top level class, which I suspect contributes to this problem. While debugging another issue, I was trying to build a small piece of my main code into an .exe to verify its functionality and experienced the same extremely long build times. When I removed this class hierarchy from the VI, it built extremely fast. Also to be clear, I am using neither the mean function or Mean.vi anywhere in this set of code. To date we have been delighted with LVOOP and how it has made our code cleaner, mroe robust, and more maintanable. However, when creating new functionality in the code we often elect NOT to create new objects (even though they would be beneficial) because we are hesitant to introduce the extra time (load and build) required for LabVIEW to handle these classes. If our entire system was rewritten in LVOOP, I would suspect that it would become unmaintainable and unbuildable due to the LVOOP overhead. I was hoping that LV2009 would address some of these issues but, alas, it did not. Still looking for a way to improve this and thanks in advance for all of the replies.

After purchasing songs at the itunes store, ipod touch will no longer synch with the itunes library at all. Also a lock symbol is now on the ipod touch. How do I fix this

After purchasing songs at the itunes store, my ipod touch will no longer synch with the itunes library at all. It won't send the purchases to the device and it won't synch any other music to the device. Also a lock symbol is now displayed at the top of the ipod touch. How do I fix this.
This was the first purchase I made.

Are you following these instructions?

Where is the lock icon on the screen?

Why are some of the photos that I have previously successfully synched to my iPhone, no longer synching?

I have a folder in iPhoto specifically for photos that I want to sync to my iPhone. This has worked for years and I've never had an issue. Suddenly, some of the photos from this folder are no longer synching, and I receive an error message during synching that reads: "Some of your photos, including the photo “DSC_0022.JPG”, were not copied to the iPhone “My iPhone 3GS” because they cannot be displayed on your iPhone." The same exact thing has started happening when we sync my husband's iPhone 4. These same photos were previously successfully synched to our iPhones, so....what gives? As an experiement, I dragged one of the photos to the desktop, deleted the photo from within iPhoto, then dragged it back into iPhoto. Then, I re-synched. This worked. But, do I now need to do this with every one of these un-synched photos? Does anyone know what's going on here? Very, very weird. It appears to be happening after the most recent iPhone update, I think. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Chicky, I have searched my computer for "iPod Photo Cache" and 51 folders pop up, plus 3 files (iPodInfo.plist, Photo Database and Image DB Temp.tmp). How do I know which to delete and which to keep? The Apple website page tackling this issue doesn't go into any detail. Thanks yet again.

Extremely long "reading" times in media browser

We are running CC2014 on 3 edit systems with a shared 10Gbit 36TB Synology NAS. Each workstation has approximately 12TB of local raid storage as well. We shoot P2 primarily and I have a little over 17TB archived on the Synology. Lately, we have had extremely long "reading" times in Media Browser on all the machines. I don't quite understand how Premiere is indexing and displaying as sometimes the "reading" time is relatively quick, ie. under 10 seconds and then other times it can take 3-5 minutes to display clips within a directory.
My Directory Structure is:
Media
     P2 footage
          (P2 folders/ie. cards are all saved with their shoot dates here)
          Our total archive of P2 footage is around 70 cards.
It appears that when Media Browser is pointed to a P2 Card folder it is indexing the entire "P2 footage directory, ie. all 70 cards", rather than just the individual folder containing 1 P2 card's footage. Ist this the case?
Would I get better read speeds in Media Browser if I organized my P2 footage into more directories, ie. by year and quarter or by year and month?
Really need to know how the indexing works. Does premiere cache preview files for each clip and if so, how long are these previews valid. It seems that when I media browse a new P2 Card/Folder, it has forgotten any previous preview files that have been made and cached.
Any explanation or help would be appreciated.
We have copied large numbers of cards/folders from the Synology to our local raids to see if the latency was due to the network but the results are the same when we media browse on the local raid copies.

We are working on this issue. Could you open a support case and submit your
project so we can have support see if it is fixed in a later release?

Just updated Itunes to 11.1.4.62 and no longer synchs to iphone

Just updated Itunes to 11.1.4.62 and no longer synchs to iphone. Did reinstall, removed old itunes, rebooted, rebooted phone, stopped ipod service, started ipod service. Every variation fails to show iphone 4s in new itunes update. Really getting fed up with itunes and updates that cause more drama than benefits. If this continues I will switch to Android Windows 8, not vista as listed below

My iPod Touch Gen 5 will no longer synch with iTunes on my computer. Only change since this happened is update to iPod to OS 8.1.1 iPod synch remains stuck in "Step 8 of 8"

My iPod Touch Gen 5 will no longer synch with iTunes on my computer. Only change since this happened is update to iPod to OS 8.1.1 iPod synch remains stuck in "Step 8 of 8"

On your computer go to the control panel (hover in the lower right corner) then programs, add/remove programs
Uninstall iTunes, Apple Mobile Device Service, Apple Application Support then go to apple.com and redownload and reinstall iTunes and try again.
You won't lose any content, you're not deleting that, just the programs that access them.
What is thought to happen is that sometimes a new version of itunes doesn't update the drivers in those other two programs. The only way to update the drivers is to force it by uninstalling the programs which allows itunes to write the correct ones.
My iPad and iPod did exactly the same thing and this is how I fixed it.

IPod nano 6th generation no longer synching runs to Nike+

Just got a pop-up when I connected my iPod nano (6th generation) that stated something that workout data would no longer be sent to Nike+ because iTunes no longer supports pedometer devices. I can't seem to find any details about why I can no longer synch workouts, from either Apple or Nike.
Anyone know what's going on with this?

I found this info on another thread and it worked for me.
