Appleworks PAINT latency driving me INSANE !!!! HELP !!!

It takes up to 20 seconds to catch up and respond.
I use an Epson projector, G4 1.33 GHz /1.25 GB DDR RAM/ 12" Powerbook Aluminum,
WACOM tablet --- latest OSX update,
to teach math in Middle School.
I use paint like a super chalkboard .
Since last year, the latency while writing and moving windows around is DRIVING ME NUTS !!!!
I have to stop in the middle of an equation while the tool bar takes almost a minute to render,
a stroke of the stylus is ignored for almost 10 seconds, ARRRRGHHH !!!!!
Anyone know what is making this increasingly worse ???? ANY REMEDIES ?
It happens even without the projector connected and even with screen mirroring on or off.
I am LOST without Appleworks Paint and Draw.
I have years of graphics and lesson materials invested.
I NEED to annotate and manipulate on the fly without this nuisance.
HHHHEEEEELLLPPP !!!!! RABIES COMING ON
---gooddog

OMG !!!!!
I think that did it !!
I won't be sure until I put in a day's work tomorrow.
But I tried to outrun the cursor after the fix and I
have not been able to yet
This looks like it will be the best help I've ever had
from you gals and guys.
I can't tell you how much irritation it takes off my
shoulders. And the children are safe from being eaten
by a psycho teacher.
I love you this much < ----------------------->
Thank you, thank you, thank you XXXXXXXXX OOOOO

  • Sockets driving me insane.HELP PLZ  stress..stress...stress

    The problem I am havin is that the listener class i have to deal with connections will creates a new socket for each connection but it says it is using the same port as the listening ServerSocket is in the case 4444. Here is the code for my Listener. Any help is greatly appreciated.
    import java.io.*;
    import java.net.*;
    import java.util.*;
    public class Listener implements Runnable {
      public void run () {
      try{
      listen();
    }catch(Exception e){
    System.out.println("Error in listener:"+e );
      public static void listen() throws IOException{
        int port = 4444;
        ServerSocket server = new ServerSocket (port);
        try{
        System.out.println("Listening...");
             while (true) {
             System.out.println("Listening....");
             Socket client = server.accept ();
             System.out.println ("Accepted from " + client.getInetAddress ());
             System.out.println("Using port:"+ client.getLocalPort());
             System.out.println("server Socket listening on port:"+server.getLocalPort());
             ChatHandler handler = new ChatHandler (client);
             handler.start ();
      }catch (IOException ex){
      System.out.println("Error in listener"+ex);
    }

    I am under the impression that this is not true a
    port cannot be used by more than one socket as this
    woould cause an exception of some kind, No ??
    (Although saying that i do not get any exceptions )Sir,
    No. And you have the proof. You cannot bind for listening on more than one socket. But once a socket is created it is unique even though the one port on the server side is shared among multiple sockets.
    Sincerely,

  • How can I fix this ridiculous error code 13014? It's driving me insane!

    Ok, so I have seen a lot of people write about this error code and I feel like I have tried pretty much everything to stop it from happening but nothing works! Every couple of minutes or so when my 120gb iPod classic is plugged in the error message 13014 pops up, the constant bouncing of iTunes in the docking station is driving me insane. All the music syncs onto it fine though. I have my iPod on manually add music as I am using a different computer that doesn't have all the music from my iPod on it. I don't want to risk losing all the music on there, so I'm hoping restoring my iPod is not the only solution to this! Please help me before I murder iTunes. Thanks.

    Try removing their iTunes preferences file, which is located in the /username/Library/Preferences/ folder and is called "com.apple.iTunes.plist" ( rename or move it somewhere else)
    reboot the Mac
    then relaunching iTunes (it will create a new plist)
    Connect the iPod Classic directly to the Mac.

  • APPLEWORKS PAINT DPI AND RESOLUTION / IMAGE SIZE

    I am struggling to make a 10" x 10" design in appleworks paint using at least 288 DPI. But the max resolution is 2000 pixels x 2000 pixels. This gives me a tiny square, not 10" x 10". The print shop I want to submit to dictates the size (10 x 10) and wants at least 200 DPI. Is there not some way for me to choose a DPI other than 72, 144, 288, 300 or 360??? I love appleworks paint but this is frustrating.
    I did a 7.5" x 9" design, using 144 DPI @ 1010 x 1300 pixels and it SEEMED to come out fine, but they want higher DPI, and when it was opened as PNG (in an email) it turned out huge.
    What am I doing WRONG?

    Hi,
    Give this a try and see if this works.
    1. Create a custom page size 11x11 using page setup. The extra inch gives you some play with the margins.
    2. Create a drawing document then under the Format menu select the Show ruler command.
    3. Create a paint frame. Activate the paint frame and change the resolution to 288 dpi.
    4. Resize the paint frame to 10x10 by dragging using the frames handles and using the ruler as a guide.
    5. When you have completed the drawing save it as a pdf instead of jpg. If you save it as a jpg the resolution will revert to 72 dpi. If you save is pdf, the paint resolution should be maintained at 288 dpi. To save it as pdf use the print command and use the save pdf under the pdf button. Most print shops should be able to handle pdf.
    Hope this helps.

  • Can't connect using AEBS - driving me insane

    hi, hopefully someone out there can help!!
    i am trying to connect 2 computers to my AEBS. one is a mac mini and wired, the other is an ibook and wireless.
    both of them connect perfectly when i connect them with wires directly into the modem. however when i try and route the connection through the AEBS neither the wired or wireless connection works. this is despite the ibook telling me that it's connected to the internet via airport.
    i've called my ISP and talked to them, they gave me all the relevant settings but it hasn't made any difference. the problem seems to be in the AEBS itself.
    any thoughts? it's driving me insane...

    Hello thecornishman. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Since your Macs are not able to access the Internet either wirelessly or by wire with the AEBSn, try the following, in order, checking for Internet access after each step, until resolved:
    1. If the modem has a reset switch, use it to reset the modem. Wait at least 5-10 minutes for the modem to initialize.
    2. Remove power from the modem. If it has a backup battery, remove this as well. Wait 5-10 minutes. Replace the battery, and add power back to the modem.
    3. Perform a complete power recycle of your network components as follows:
    Modem/Router Power Recycling - Quick
    o Power-off the modem, AEBSn, & computer(s); Wait at least 5 minutes.
    o Power-on the modem; Wait at least 5 minutes.
    o Power-on the AEBSn; Wait at least 5 minutes.
    o Power-on the computer(s)
    If this fails to get the modem to "recognize" the Internet router, then try the "Full" version.
    Modem/Router Power ReCycling - Full
    o Power-off the modem, AEBSn, & computer(s). (Wait at least 30 minutes. If possible, leave the modem off overnight.)
    o Power-on the modem; Wait at least 15 minutes.
    o Power-on the AEBSn; Wait at least 5 minutes.
    o Power-on the computer(s)
    4. Contact your ISP to have them perform a "modem reset."

  • Cant open PC Paint files with Appleworks paint program

    I have been using the very simple Paint program that comes with windows. I have finally made the move and ditched the PC for something more stable.
    When I try to import my .bmp pictures I used to work on into Appleworks it insists on opeing the Drawing program that has no "fill" etc. Even when I open the Paint program and then "force" it to open a .bmp only part of the picture is shown. I thought that a .bmp is pretty basic and common file type.
    Does anyone know if Appleworks can handle .bmp files and if not what are other options. I didn't really feel the need to have a $170 paint program for what I am doing.
    Hope you can help.
    Michael

    Dale,
    Thanks for your reply.
    The problem is that I need to use the "fill" in the paint program.
    I have actually just been able to get the file to load into Appleworks paint after reading about using the .pict save. All looked good untill I tried to fill. What happens now is that the fill is very chunky and does not bleed thru at all. This makes it pretty useless at the moment.
    Same problem, with a twist now.
    Looking forward to any further ideas.
    Michael

  • Undead keychain driving me insane!

    Hey everybody.
    So, I'm on a Macbook 2,1 running 10.6.8 and for months now there's been a problem driving me insane.
    I've got a dual-band Airport Extreme station (one network is 2.4GHz b/g and the other is 5GHz n-only) and they're running on different SSIDs.
    Obviously I connect to the 5GHz one and bliss is to be had. The problem, however, is that the other one is in my keychain and is at the top of the priority list and I just cannot delete it.
    Whenever I delete it, it just pops back from nowhere after a while. (Sometimes immediately, sometimes within hours and sometimes after several days)
    I've checked several times to see if I've actually deleted it and whenever I check, it's nowhere to be found. Still I periodically find myself with really slow LAN transfer speeds and invariably when I check my Airport status, I'm connected to the slow network.
    Oh, and before anybody says anything: Keychain sync is (and has always been) disabled.

    Hi Payne, not sure if I can help you with this. Have you tried opening keychain access from the utilities folder? If not do so and open Preferences - First Aid and check 'set login keychain as default'. Your password should be the same as your login password if you need to authorise. I presume you are using Tiger if not you need to post more detail of OS etc.,

  • Album Picks are Driving Me Insane

    Because I haven't upgraded from 3.2.4 or asked others for a workaround, I thought I post here before giving feedback.
    I'm not sure when the application engineers decided that if stacked images are added to an album the stack pick should automatically become an album pick that must be manually removed even after choosing a new stack pick, but it wasn't always this way. Of that I'm sure.
    This is driving me insane because I can't find a way to change the default, and I can't remove the album pick from multiple stacks simultaneously. 
    After I do the work to choose stack picks, I don't need the album to display a different image as the pick. In my workflow, this is a severe hinderance that costs me time and causes me to run the risk of overlooking acceptable images that I've already chosen to display as the pick.  If I need to use the album pick feature, I can make that decision without any help from the application.  The main thing that's kept me with Aperture is that I hate LR's DAM- especially the stack feature.
    Please tell me that this has been addressed in 3.4.  If this is the case, I might just find the time to update my huge library. 
    DLS

    I am still trying to wrap my head around this.  I think we may be seeing different behavior.  When I create a new Album from a selection in a Project that includes Stacks, the Album Pick is set, but it is always the same as the Stack Pick.  Yes?  This, to me, is what I would expect.  (From a computational point-of-view, there is no difference between designating the Stack Pick as the Album Pick, or not designating it, when the rule is that if there is no Album Pick designated, use the Stack Pick.)
    DLScreative wrote:
    ... at the very least, when I choose a new stack pick in the album, it should either replace the album pick or wipe it.
    Why?  The Album pick is a separate, Album-specific designation.  The Album pick is set to the Stack Pick when the Album is created, and remains so until you change one or the other.  You can change either in the Album.  I don't see why changing the Stack Pick in the Album should remove or replace the Album Pick.  If it's the Album Pick you want to change or remove, change it or remove it.  If you want to change the Stack Pick, you can do this either in the Project or in the Album.  But again, the Album Pick and the Stack Pick are independent once the Album is created.
    From a practical point of view, you can put the Album Pick and Stack Pick icons next to each other on the Toolbar (this might be the default) and simply click each if you want to set an Image as both the Album Pick and the Stack Pick.
    ... I should also be able to select all stacks and remove all album picks at once. 
    Agreed.  There should be a way to "reset" Album Picks to the current Stack Picks.
    I spent a good three hours going through and clearing album picks- that I didn't choose to create- one at a time, and I'm still coming across some that I missed.
    How did you remove them? 
    Here is one method:
    - Set the filter to "Stack picks only".  With an Album selected, this will show Album Picks where they exist.
    - Select the first Image with with an Album Pick badge showing, and click "Stacks➞Remove Album Pick".  Go to next Stack ("Stacks➞Next Stack" or whatever keyboard shortcut you have assigned).  At this point, you can either check for the Album Pick badge, and then remove the Album Pick, or you can click "Stacks" and see whether the menu choice is "Remove Album Pick" or "Set Album Pick".  Repeat for each Stack until you get to the last Stack in the Album.
    If you want to make the current Stack Picks the Album Picks, you can do this by creating a new Album from the Project.  Mark all Images in the Album (I use Flags), select the Project, select the marked Images, and create a new Album.  New Albums created from Projects set the Album Pick to be the Stack Pick.  Now you have two Albums containing the same Images.  One has all the old Album Picks.  In the other, the left-most Image in each Stack is both the Stack Pick and the Album Pick.  The result is that you have redesignated the Album Picks to be the Stack Picks.
    DLScreative wrote:
    BTW: The shortcut to add or remove an album pick is command+shift+\  (I've come to know it all too well) It's also available in the Stacks Menu under Make/Clear Album Pick. 
    Yes.  I was trying to differentiate between issuing commands (from a menu or the toolbar or a keyboard shortcut) and effecting a result by moving Images.  Afaik, Album-Pick-making must be done by command.  Stack-Pick-making can be done by moving an Image to the left-most position in a Stack.
    I'm still thinking through your workflow.  That this presents a rock in your stream means something isn't right.

    AppleWorks is a very old application and requires Rosetta to run under recent systems.
    Lion does not include Rosetta.

  • I just got new iphone 4 but it tells me to restore the phone wen i plug in my computer.. then half way thru the restoring on the "firmwear" part it stops an says error "9?? wats the go there?? its driving me insane...

    i just got new iphone 4 but it tells me to restore the phone wen i plug in my computer.. then half way thru the restoring on the "firmwear" part it stops an says error "9?? wats the go there?? its driving me insane...

    Let's first define what "new" means. Was it purchased from Apple or your authorized carrier, and it came in a shrink wrapped box? Or is it only new to you, and you don't know its history?
    Assuming it truly is a new, never used phone, Error 9 means that the USB connection to the phone is intermittent. Do the following:
    Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes (10.4) - if not, download and install it from htp://www.apple.com/itunes
    Reboot your computer
    Disable your antivirus and firewall software
    Disconnect all USB devices except keyboard and mouse
    Connect the cable to a USB port directly on your computer, not to a hub; do not connect the other end to the phone yet (If your computer is a desktop or tower and has ports on both front and back us a port on the back)
    Launch iTunes
    Connect the phone to the other end of the cable
    If the phone is recognized in iTunes proceed with the Restore
    If the phone is NOT recognized by iTunes:
    Disconnect the cable from the phone (leave connected to the computer)
    Hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons until the screen goes blank, then IMMEDIATELY release the SLEEP button but continue holding the HOME button
    Connect the cable to the phone while holding the HOME button
    Wait for iTunes to recognize the phone, then release the HOME button (this may take several minutes of holding)
    If you still have a problem after these steps take the phone to Apple for exchange.

  • AppleWorks Paint

    Hello
    Sorry if this question has already been asked/answered before but I was wondering, how do I change the work space area on Paint and then save it so everytime I go to AppleWorks paint it will be that size?
    Thank You,
    Holly

    Hi Holly,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions and the AppleWorks forum.
    Launch ApplWorks and open a new Paint document.
    Go Format > Document
    Change the two Size values (Pixels across and Pixels down) to your desired values. (The maximum size is 2000 x 2000 pixels)
    Click OK
    Go File > Save
    Name the file "AppleWorks PT Options"
    Click the "Template" radio button near the bottom of the dialogue.
    (AppleWorks will change the filename's suffix from .cwk to .cws, and will change the location to Templates.)
    Click Save.
    Close the document.
    Any new Paint document will adopt the values you set for this template. You can change the template values at any time by repeating the steps above (and clicking Replace when asked if you want to replace the existing file).
    You can change the default parameters for any type of AppleWorks document using essentially the same process. Use the same name (AppleWorks XX Options), changing only the XX portion of the name to the two-letter code for that type of document. (The document type code appears at the end of the document name in the title bar.)
    Regards,
    Barry

  • Photo in Appleworks paint

    I have a (sentimental value) photo that was sent to me as TIFF. Somehow, I pasted it into an Appleworks Paint document and have lost the original download.
    I would like to put it in iPhoto 5, but it "could not be imported (may be an unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data)"
    Then I tried to place it in my system 9 Adobe Photoshop LE but "it is not the right kind of document" I also tried EZ Photo but no go.
    Is there any way I can get this photo into iPhoto?
    Thanks for any advice.
    Patricia
    iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   also OS 9 LaCie burner

    Patricia:
    Try the following. In AW with the photo cropped to just what you want, i.e. now white space, etc. do a Print to PDF. Then open the pdf file in preview and use the Save As menu option to save as a jpg at the best quality level. That will give you a jpg file that you can import into iPhoto.
    If you have a 3rd party image editor you might be able to copy while in AW and the past into a new document in the editor. That would let you adjust the image as desired and then save as a new jpg file.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

  • Will any Lion compatible application open AppleWorks paint files?

    Is there any available application open AppleWorks paint files?
    Better yet, any Lion compatible application that will do so.

    I've been saving my completed AppleWorks Draw documents for a long time by copying them into Preview and saving from there, but, of course, you lose the ability to edit them then.
    A bit off-topic, but I've found that you can't copy/paste an AppleWorks Paint document directly into Preview in Snow Leopard (as you could in previous versions of the OS). You need to paste it into an AppleWorks Draw document first, and then you can copy it from there, go to Preview, and use Command +n to make a new Preview document from the clipboard which then can be saved in the image format you prefer.
    Until something that truly replaces AppleWorks comes along, I'm stuck in Snow Leopard, I'm afraid.
    I'm just not willing to "make do" with several different applications that don't do as much as AppleWorks does as easily as AppleWorks does it.
    Progress … isn't always.
