Apps extremely unstable

My iPad has always been a bit unstable, but it has really gotten worse the last couple of weeks. The first couple of months, only Safari and iCab Mobile crashed, although they did it 1-2 times a day during a ~2-4 hour usage.
Now, my browsers crash ~5 times a day, and all other apps also crash on a regular basis (I assume at least one crash every 2 hours). Yesterday I wanted to show a friend the Smurf Village app, and each time I clicked on the "Show featured village", which usually works, it repeatedly crashed (Tried 5 times, even shutting down the iPad). No changes at all to the app or iPad, it just randomly decided to start crashing.
In ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/MobileDevices/, I have currently 579 crash logs from my iPad, of which 292 of those are LowMemory crash logs.
Is this really to be expected, or should I take it to Apple?

I'm having the exact same issue with my iPad (verified my crash logs for iPad only), and I suspect I may be having it on my iPod Touch (haven't looked at crash log yet) as well. I called tech support a few weeks ago and they recommended that I do a factory reset in case I have a corrupt app(restore and manually reload, do not reload from backup because the backup may also be corrupt).
I did this for both my iPad and iPod Touch and the issue went away, but only temporarily. After about 2 weeks of peaceful, reliable operation, both devices went back to the repeated crashes.
I'm going to call Apple back for support on this. If it is a corrupt app, it is corrupt again and I need to figure out how not to keep repeating this madness. Both devices are pretty much worthless this way. You can't keep an app running for more than a minute or two and battery life seems to be cut in half. I'm actually worried I am going to shorten the life of the batteries on both devices.
If you are reading this and know a solution, please post! Thanks!!!

Azure Web Apps extremely unstable following switch from VMs

Last week we made the switch from Azure VMs to Azure Web Apps (web sites). The main reason for doing so was to take advantage of continuous deployment, auto-scaling and deployment slots.
We have 4 web apps running on S2 instances (currently scaling up to 2 instances). We then have 4 other virtual machines that host our databases (RavenDB) and another web app that cannot be hosted on Web Apps. We're using VNETs to connect everything together.
Previously the entire system was hosted on just 2 virtual machines.
A week on we're finding
a) Performance has degraded
b) The Web Apps (and associated service) are increasingly unreliable
We used to deploy frequently throughout the day without issue. Since moving to Web Apps we regularly experience 503 errors for up to a minute following a deployment. We switched to staging slots to try and circumvent this but even this hasn't been foolproof.
We're now actually reluctant to deploy changes to our API during the day because it has been so unreliable.
Performance has also suffered - we're using New Relic for monitoring and our throughput has halved since moving to Web Apps despite the web apps actually having more resources than they did before.
Auto-scaling has also been very hit and miss. Our apps rarely put any load on CPU but they can use quite a lot of memory. We set up auto-scaling based on memory but rather unhelpfully the new portal changed our "less than or equal to" scaling rule
to "equal to" meaning that the instances never scaled down - thanks Azure! I believe this is still an issue in the portal.
We've gone from almost 6 months of 100% uptime to a week of regular issues. We deployed a new web app today and attached it to the same to virtual network used by our other apps and it caused a disruption in the other apps - our API could no longer contact
the virtual machine hosting RavenDB.
All-in-all this has not been a great experience and if it's a choice between reliability/performance and the bells and whistles that Azure Web Apps provide, I'll be going back to VMs.

Hi David,
It's an ASP.NET Web API application and we're deploying with Web Deploy.
When we first switched to Web Apps and deployed directly to the "live" instance we found that we were getting 503 errors. There were no errors in our application logs (Elmah) so I'm assuming this is an issue outside of the application. We do have
250 or so sites that are serviced by the API so I would expect a slight delay whilst the application starts but certainly not a 503. In some cases we had to re-deploy (the same code) to get things back.
We then switched to using Staging Slots to try and avoid this issue. Whilst this avoided the 503 errors most of the time, the time it takes for the application to come back up following a deployment has increased dramatically - and this is despite "hot
swapping" from staging to production.
Yesterday I tested this by deploying to staging and then swapping the deployment. It took over 30 seconds following the swap before the API was available. When I used to deploy to the VM it was available almost immediately.

Mac is extremely unstable

Hi,
My PowerMac G5, which has been a highly reliable system, is suddenly extremely unstable. Apps are freezing (iTunes, iMovie, even Finder). Force Quit is frequently unable to completely exit the frozen app.
Shut downs are also a problem, I am have resorted to forced reboot multiple times.
I recently installed the ProKit 5.1 update. This would appear to be the root cause, but I don't know if that is the problem.
I have run Disk Utility and repaired disk permissions. No error messages generated.
Any thoughts on how I can get this machine back to it's usual reliable state are appreciated!
David

For the shutdowns, I'm wondering if it might be overheating. And definitely check the amount of free space on the drive.
If you don't have anything to read the temps, I'd install Temperature Monitor. It's freeware.
http://www.bresink.com/osx/0TemperatureMonitor/download.html
To check the status of the fans + temp, the best is Hardware Monitor (Also Marcel Bresink) it costs around $10.
_Not accurate_ for the temps, but OK for the fans is iStat Menus, which is free.

AGP 8x acts extremely unstable

This is my computer:
2.4 GHz Pentium 4 processor with 800MHz FSB and HT
Sapphire Atlantis 128MB Radeon 9600Pro GPU
512MB(2x256) Kingston HyperX DDR400 RAM
MSI 875P Neo 2 Motherboard
120GB Serial ATA Maxtor Hard Drive
Creative Labs SoundBlaster Audigy2 Sound Card
Creative Megaworks 5.1 THX surround sound
16x LiteOn DVD drive
48x24x48 LiteOn CD-RW drive
400 Watt Foxconn Power Supply
19" Viewsonic P95f+ CRT
Chieftec Black Case
Logitech MX700 Rechargeable Wireless Optical Mouse
Logitech Elite Multimedia Keyboard
Cyberpower 825AVR UPS
And a floppy drive!
I'm running Windows XP.
Everytime I set the AGP speed from 4x to 8x, my computer goes extremely unstable. I am using ATI's Catalyst drivers; I've tried a number of different versions and it doesn't seem to change anything. My screen freezes up every five seconds and VPU recover (part of the Catalyst Driver suite) informs me that the graphics card has been restarted because it has stopped responding.
I'd like to figure this out so that I can take back the 250 lost 3DMarks that are rightfully mine.
Any ideas as to why I can't use AGP 8x?
Thanks for listening....

Thanks, netsile! My monitor is the P95f+. My desktop was set at 1280x 1024 @ 85 HZ.
It's not that AGP 8x failed during benchmarks or under complex rendering strains, but on the desktop. I still can't manage to find side-band addressing, only write-combining and FastWrite.
By the way: my card doesn't use a 'Molex' connector.
I would like to try more troubleshooting now, but I have a much bigger PC problem to deal with. Just the other day I decided to clear the CMOS to reset the BIOS defaults before I flashed the newest BIOS (1.9 or whatever, I'm currently using the version that came right out of the box). I was looking forward to MAT, but I never even got far enough to flash the BIOS. Upon switching the jumper back, plugging in and resetting the PC, I get nothing. No video, no nothing (remember, I didn't flash the BIOS). It is very early in the morning and I need some sleep, so I switched the jumper back to the 'clear CMOS' position and popped out the battery. I figured that it would figure itself out overnight.
The next morning, I switch it on to more blackness. All of the fans come on, the drives spin up, and then my motherboard piezo-buzzer speaker thing hits me with an error code: (beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep, and then some time, and then eight more beeps, on and on forever). My monitor comes out of Power-save mode, like it knows that the computer has been activated, but then it goes to sleep again. My PC stays on and keeps beeping in the 8-beep pattern until I unplug it.
I looked up the error code on the internet, and I find that the error is the result of a graphics card read/write error. I recheck everything in the box (I built it myself, I know where everything is) and restart again... and again... and again... The INFERNAL BEEPING never ends. The D-Bracket on my PC is telling me that booting stops right before VGA initialization (LED pattern RRRG). I think, "Oh great, my 9600Pro is fried, not cool" and proceed to remove it from the system.
Later that night, I take the card to my Dad's office where I have constructed him a nearly identical PC, only difference being a Gigabyte motherboard, an older Radeon All in Wonder for graphics editing, and 2-3-2-6-1T Kingston instead of my 2-2-2-6-1T. I take out his graphics card and check to make sure that there's no integrating video. There isn't, so I hook up and power up. I expect nothing to happen, but I am completely perplexed when the thing boots perfectly and continues to hum happily on the older Radeon's drivers that were previously responded.
This test leads me to believe that maybe my AGP slot is messed up, or something. I walk (in the 5 degree F weather that doesn't belong in central Pennsylvania) up to my friend's house up the street. He has an affinity for building PCs out of ancient parts, and I pick up an old Voodoo 3 PCI card from him for testing. I pop that card in my machine, and I get the same INFERNAL BEEPING. Not cool.
Several calls to my IT professional grandfather do nothing to correct the situation. At this time, I've cleared the CMOS probably 249865 times. I unplug everything but the hard drive, CPU, and 1 stick (instead of the regular 2) of DDR 400 Kingston and reboot with the bare minimals. INFERNAL BEEPING ensues.
Now I take out the hard drive. I'm not happy.
INFERNAL BEEPING.
Now I take out the remaining memory stick. Ah! The beeping has stopped! And my PC is gutted, and worthless... Not cool.
Now, I've sent MSI some emails and they may even get a call tomorrow.
I've gathered the original packing material and bookmarked the RMA page.
If I do not discover the answers I seek on one of the 3927 message boards I'm going to post this on, I'm sending the thing back. I've had it for less than four months, and I'm not going to run out and buy a new one when it's not my fault that it doesn't work.
My dad's Gigabyte GA-8KNXP is looking nicer all of the time...
I'd like to thank anyone that decides to respond to this.

Digikam extremely unstable

The last version of Digikam 1.5.0 is extremely unstable for me. It crashes very often just when browsing photos, it also displays broken thumbnails all the time. Am I the only one who experiences that? If not, is it problem with Arch Linux build, library dependences or just 1.5.0 is unstable?

I don't know the answer. I have a problem with digikam too. It does not present any thumbnail.

KT880 DELTA (SOCKET A) MEM KING 512 400MHZ, EXTREMELY UNSTABLE

HELLO THAT SO, I FINISH BUYING NEW PIECES PROCESSOR SEMPRON 2800+ And TWO KINGSTON MEMORIES OF 512 OF 400MHZ, The PROBLEM ARE IN WHICH SEGUN The SPECIFICATIONS OF The MSI, The MOTHERBOARD KT880 DELTA WORKING PERFECTLY IF The PROCESSOR HAS A FSB OF 300 And The MEMORY A FSB OF 400.
BUT APPARENTLY IT IS A GREAT LIE, IT FORMS PC ASI And HE IS EXTREMELY UNSTABLE[/color][/b], IN The SAME INSTALLATION IT SENT The BLUE SCREEN OF ERROR, And WHEN I COULD INSTALL IT With great difficulty, WINDOWS REINCIABA IN CERTAIN SHORT WHILES. UPDATE The BIOS To COMPLETES IT And The ERROR WAS EQUAL. ASI THAT I HAD TO PITIFULLY CHANGE The FSB OF The MEMORY To 333.
However, WHEN IT WAS To 400 And IT MANAGED TO WORK, WAOOO WAS FAST MAS, IT WANTED THAT SOMEBODY HELPED ME WITH SOMETHING, Or THAT The PEOPLE OF The MSI REVIEWED THAT ERROR. I HAVE UNDERSTOOD THAT The FIRST BIOS OF THIS SINGLE MOTHERBOARD SUPPORTED ATHLON XP And SOON THEY MODIFIED IT FOR The SEMPRON, BUT DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THEY HAVE PROVEN WITH The MEMORIES, TOO MUCH INSTABILITY, And I QUERIA TO TAKE The COMPUTER to the MAX, HURTS, PLEASE CORRIGAN THAT ERROR Or SOMEBODY HELP ME
I AM PANAMENIAN AND MY ENGLISH IS BAD, JEJE. PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hola !
You have to tell us complete PC specs includding P.Su. brand and AMPS to 3.3, 5 and 12v. rails so we can help you better.- Right now I can say, Semprons FSB is 333, no 300, so, if you set it by hand in Bios, you have to set it to that new value. Also you must have in mind that is better to run memory at same speed as CPU. Instability comes when memory send more data than CPU can process in a certain time. BTW Those Kingston memory are value Ram ? You also could try "upping " memory voltage in 0,1-0,2 volts to see if system is more stable. Y trata de no escribir con mayúsculas.

Extremely unstable Airport network

[Dutch so sorry for my English]
My Airport network (1 extreme (latest), 1 express (1st gen)) is extremely unstable (especially AirPort Extreme), my iPad and iPhone are being unconnected every 2 minutes or so.
My iMac is connected over ethernet and wifi, my speeds:
Ethernet: 59Mbps down; 5,5Mbps up.
Wifi: 9Mbps down; 5,5Mbps up. (distance between Airport Extreme and iMac is one wall and 5 meters.)
Ridiculous right?!
Especially the problem my devices are trown of the wifi network every couple minutes is REALLY frustrating. Didn't have the problem until like half a year ago.
Tried a lot, the channel stuff (I don't have many networks near my place, so I have few interference), all the basic solutions for the basic problems. None have worked so far.
Hope you can help me, this is kinda my last shot.

JSF app extremely slow - too many ActionListeners?

I'm working on my first JSF app; my assignment is to prepare the next version of an existing app. Currently my testers are complaining that the app is extremely slow. I have observed that page loading takes a very long time; although it isn't nearly so sluggish on my local box (which of course gets bounced more frequently).
The env is JSF RI 1.1.0 (or 1.1_01, we tried both) running in Sun JES 8.2. Stepping through the debugger I have noticed that the LifecyleImpl maintains a list of ActionListeners. It seems that when the pages, which indirectly extend FacesBean, and have request scope, are constructed they are added to this list, and in the RenderResponsePhase are removed (in the FacesBean afterPhase() method).
However I am seeing this list growing very large (several hundred listeners), with multiple instances of the same classes. Is this normal/to be expected? It seems that this could be causing a performance drain with the number of times this list is iterated over. What could be causing the removePhaseListener() call to be skipped? What potential harm could be caused if I were to replace the LifecycleImpl with one that in removePhaseListener() removed all listeners of the specified class (rather than just the specified instance).
I appreciate any clues to what is happening, and how to properly correct it.

Are you using creator to build your application?No I'm not, but the original team did. So we are dependent on the jsfcl jar.
Actually, further investigation has revealed at least a part of the problem. And I have to (shamefacedly) admit that I am guilty of poor class structure. The application has a base page class that derives from FacesBean, and provides access to a number of things used throughout the app. I have a utility class that as a convenience extends the base page class in order to take advantage of those objects. But now that I have (at least a rudimentary) grasp on how the PhaseListeners get registered and deregistered, i see that this class will get registered every time one is constructed for use by an actual page. But since it is not itself a real page, it will not get deregistered.
My task for today is to refactor that class the way it should have been done in the first place. Then I'll connect to the app to see what other objects are hanging around in the listener list and see if they are also using improper inheritance.
Thanks

Contacts app extremely slow switching between groups

After upgrading to Mavericks, my Contacts app is extremely slow loading contacts when switching between groups. Clicking on a group causes the beach ball to appear, and only after several about 10 seconds does the contacts in that group load. Does anyone know a solution to this problem?

I had the same issue as you did -- for a few weeks now I've been suffering through agonizingly slow Contacts performance.
The way I resolved it was:
1) Quit Contacts
2) Go to system preferences and go into iCloud, then uncheck contacts -- choosing to delete from mac.
3) Go into system preferences and to Internet Accounts and again uncheck contacts under any of the accounts it's enabled on (gmail, yahoo, etc).
4) Go to your user's library folder (easiest way is to open a finder window, hold down the option key on the keyboard and from the Go menu, select Library).
5) Delete anything referring to Address book or com.apple.address book....   -- check these folders in particular:
     - Address Book
     - Application Support
     - Caches
     - Preferences
6) Restart your computer
7) Go back into System preferences and enable contacts from wherever you want (iCloud, etc.)
8) If it's not quite enabling (appears to enable, but checkbox doesn't show), then do one more restart of the computer.
9) Now open Contacts and allow it to sync

IWork apps extremely slow to load unless I disable internet connection?

Launching any of the iWork apps is extremely slow (30 to 45 seconds) on brand new current model 21" iMac running Snow Leopard. When you check activity monitor the app usually shows not responding for most of the 30 to 45 seconds then eventually it responds and loads.
However, if I remove the ethernet cable from the iMac (turning off access to the inernet) all the apps launch almost instantly, no more than a 2 seconds.
We have a very slow DSL at the school so I suspect that the iWorks apps are checking something on the internet during launch but I cannot find anything in the settings that I can turn off to prevent whatever it is these apps are checking during launch.
I am hoping someone has seen this before and has a suggestion as the only work around is removing the ethernet, launching Pages or Numbers and then plugging the ethernet back in.
Dennis

Check if Pages is trying to open a template from another computer. Easiest would be just to in Pages preferences > Use template > Choose button > make sure you select an template on this computer. If it is trying to open one on another which it can't connect to it would take time.

What's with Safari 6? Extremely unstable, scrolling lags, typing lags...

I upgraded to Safari 6 just before (using Software update, I'm using 10.7) and... it's completely unusable.
I tried to post this question using Safari but it crashed 4 times, so I'm in Chrome now. (No crash report dialog appeared to report to Apple.)
And it's slow: There are huge lags in typing. And long scrolling lags.
It's basically unusable. That's not an exaggeration - it's seriously completely unusable. Just the crashing alone makes it unusable.
Wasn't this tested?
I usually use Safari as my main browser and Chrome for testing, but I'm going to have to use Chrome as my main browser until this is fixed.
Anybody know what's going on?
Thanks,
doug

To help ascertain part of the problem - open Activity Monitor (it's in your Applications folder in another folder called 'Utilities')
Open that, in the Processes dropdown, select 'All Processes'
In the list of 'processes' check and see how much CPU % that the Safari and Safari Web Content processes are using.
For me, they have been consistently using 60-110% of my CPU% even when I have only a couple pages open - even with Flash disabled, Extensions turned off, etc.
This is the problem at its core.
I've also noticed that my IM app Adium is taking an abnormal amount of CPU % now also, I suspect because it also uses WebKit to display a message window.
Which makes me think there is a large bug in Safari 6's implementation of WebKit - which can affect any application that uses a webview to display content.
Not good.
Let me know if the high CPU% issue is true for you guys also.

Macbook 2,1 extremely unstable?

Hey, I bought a Macbook 2,1 with 2.0 GHz Core 2 Duo & 1 GB RAM about a year and a half ago. I'm using Mac OS X 10.4.11 (Tiger). I've always had random errors with it (kernel panics monthly, crashing weekly), but now it has become absolutely ridiculous.
I recently installed 2 GB of PNY RAM, which could be causing some issues, but I've been having problems for quite a while before then. The DVD drive one day somehow got warped or something; it reads discs fine but there is considerable resistance trying to insert a disc, suggesting heat damage or external stress (however, the computer had just been sitting on the charger the night before I noticed this problem, so I'm guessing heat damage).
Over the course of it's lifetime thus far, this Macbook has probably given me 30-40 kernel panics, hundreds of instances of programs closing due to errors, and numerous GUI issues (dock turning black, taskbar not loading, desktop icons not loading on startup, options having no result, computer not shutting down, etc). I have, within two weeks, zeroed the hard disk and reinstalled the OS three times (once, the installer ran into errors and would never finish, but keep telling me to start over). In less than 24 hours since the last reinstall, I've encountered 2 kernel panics and the dock has once turned black.
I need help. I'm a college student who absolutely needs a stable computer for work and for school, and this Apple has NOT delivered that for the past six months. I also work in MIS for a local company and have tried to find diagnostic tools for Mac OS X - but to no avail. Most of my friends have never even seen a kernel panic or know what one is, yet somehow I manage to have them randomly thrown at me every week. Safari closes due to errors all the time. Firefox does the same. Pages does the same. MS Word 2008 does the same. Garageband does the same. I want to like my Mac, but I simply can't like a computer that is extremely unpredictable and crash-prone. Help is much appreciated. Thanks.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Why did you wait a year and a half to solve your kernel panics?
If you got them out of the box, you should have returned the computer then while there was a return policy in effect?
If you got them in the first year, you may have had a hardware issue that could be resolved. I'm assuming of course you haven't purchased AppleCare, otherwise you'd be calling them to ask why you are getting issues. If AppleCare is giving you an unreasonable response like erase your machine before sufficient troubleshooting is done, certainly, feel free to ask us how to solve the problem.
Apple has had many a stable machine. It sounds to me you just got a lemon, and should have returned it or asked it to be repaired under warranty.
Now that it is over a year old, if you don't have AppleCare, you are going to pay through the nose to get it repaired. You should always buy AppleCare within the first year.
So here are my questions for you:
1. Do you have AppleCare?
2. Is your data backed up?
3. Have you looked at the exchange/repair programs?
http://www.apple.com/support/exchange_repair/
which work even if you don't have AppleCare?
4. Have you looked at potential causes for heat?
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=716829&tstart=0
5. Have you made sure you aren't doing anything to damage the charger, by following these suggestions?*
http://www.macmaps.com/frayguide.html
6. Have you tried to see what happens if you put back in the original RAM?
P.S. I'm just a volunteer here.

IPhoto 08 extremely unstable with external

Good evening
I am very frustrated with iPhoto as the application keeps crashing every 3-4 minutes. I have my pictures stored on an external drive and have created a library also on the external. When I imported all my photos over to the library, I used the advanced option of not actually copying the items to the library (1.4 gig; actual photos 'imported' are 34 gig = 16000 photos).
Are all these advanced and external options combined making my iPhoto unstable?
I have the latest iPhoto and MAC software updates installed.
Any thoughts or suggestions? I want to keep my MACBook Pro somewhat uncluttered of photos so that I can edit videos!
Thank you for your time and thoughts.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
No, neither of these things will make iPhoto unstable.
Post the Crash Log.
It's at Home / Library / Logs / Crash-Reporter / iphoto.crash.log
Double click on the file and it will open in the Console. Copy and Paste it in here.
Just a heads up: You need to be aware of a number of potential pitfalls using a referenced Library.
1. Import and deleting pics are more complex procedures
2. You cannot move or rename the files on your system or iPhoto will lose track of them
3. Most importantly, migrating to a new disk or computer can be much more complex.
Always allowing for personal preference, I've yet to see a good reason to run iPhoto in referenced mode unless you're using two photo organisers.
If disk space is an issue, you can run an entire iPhoto Library from an external disk:
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
If you're concerned about finding the files, that can be easily done from the iPhoto Window.
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
For 10.5 users: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use THIS
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically.

Burrito Mobile Apps Extremely Slow

I just deployed a simple little app, built with Adobe Burrito. it has a list view for locations and a map view for Google maps. You touch a location in the list and it displays your location (obtained via GPS) and the selected location. Simple. Yet, it deploys as a 650K app and runs like tortoise in quicksand. And, I'm on a HTC Evo, which has a snapdragon processor.
First, seems like the deployed apk is way to big, and second, it's an embarrasment in terms of performance when compared with other apps. The painting of the map is like watching a 300 baud modem display an old telnet session.
I hope Adobe plans to make big improvements or this is going nowhere in the arena of mobile app development.

Of course, when you generate a new Mobile App project, it creates the StationLocator and StationLocatorHome MXML classes, based on your project name. So, I have those two MXML classes, plus a MapView class for Google maps. The rest are AS3 classes, along with the Google mapping component.
I've tried deploying it both with the Framework linkage set to "Merged into code" and "Runtime shared library(RSL)". Both perform basically the same. Lousy!
I'm going to re-do this project in Eclipse Java environment with the Android plug-in and SDK, and see how that performs.

WRT54G with extremely unstable speed/ping.

I seriously have no idea why this is happening, suddenly after the holidays my router has been acting up.
When I ping my router (Linksys Wireless G (192.168.1.1)) it is usually between 1-2ms.
However if I ping google or gamefaqs or something, the ping would be stable sometimes (RARELY) being at around 50ms or it would be extremely high at over 2000ms, or it would fluctuate from 50 to 500.
I have not changed my settings on the router in anyway before the problem started. My isp is NOT the problem since if I directly connect the modem to the computer it would be a constant low ping.
All the computers connected to the router is experiencing the same problem, I have updated the firmware for the router (no effect) and even changed the frequency of the router with the router's home page.
I have tested this all with and without firewalls, with and without virus protection. I have tested it after scanning my whole computer for viruses and malware on safemode. I have resetted the modem by turning off the modem and holding reset on the router for 45 seconds then unplugging and replugging it.
I have updated the firmware and resetted it after.
This is an extremely frustrating problem as it makes it virtually impossible to play any games online, it also makes it extremely difficult to finish any of my University assignments without pulling my hair out with the load times, and I really wish someone on gamefaqs would be able to help.

I pinged google.com and my router at the same time, sure enough the router ping increases a bit (1ms to 2+ or sometimes 4+) when the ping for the Google goes up.

Also some additional information. My ISP is Shaw, I am on their high speed connection, (40-50canadian$ a month).

There are currently 4 computers connected to the router (one wired 3 wireless). This did not cause problems for 6+ the months leading up to this point.

However, when I set the passwords up for the other users of the wireless (so it may work for them) it starts to slow down AGAIN. This has led me to believe that the amount of users on the router is now a factor, even though it had not been for the last year or so.
No one uses torrents, and even if they did the problems would not be the same as that of what I stated above.
There's a lot of stuff to cover here...
You said the router ping slows down when you ping both your router and Google at the same time. What is really important isn't how much the router ping slows, but what the ping times are to both your router and Google.
It's nice to know you are on a cable modem. One problem might be the cable infrastructure is over-subscribed. One test is to get up in the middle of the night - something like 3 or 4 am would be good for this test - and see how your system performs. If it is OK, this suggests other users are saturating a link somewhere. Have you checked with your cable company? They might be able to help - but don't count on it.
Shutdown all other machines on your network and perform the tests. One machine might have malware that is using all of your bandwidth. If everything tests OK with only your machine under test, bring other machines up one at a time to isolate the source of the problem.
Are you using wireless for connectivity? If so, you are sharing bandwidth among not only yourself, but whatever neighbors are using the same wireless channel. If anyone is using 802.11b, that has the possibility to slow down all users of the wireless network. Having said that, I don't think this is your problem but it is something to keep in mind.
Don't discount torrents as being a problem. They will suck up all of your bandwidth, and this can cause delays for other applications running on the network.
