Audiobooks skip backwards multiple chapters often when pausing and resuming

As the title states I am having an issue where if I pause and resume sometimes the book will skip back multiple hours.
This issue is very inconsistent sometimes it happens sometimes not. It is something I will experience on almost every book multiple times at some point.
I am having an issue that spans: OS 5-7 or more, iPhone 4, 4s, 5s, iPad 2 and other. I believe Ive had the issue show itself on iTunes but I rarely use iTunes but fairly certain it has happened.
I make most of my audiobooks from CDs that I purchase but I have had the problem on others as well. I also sometime download audiobooks that are in MP3 format and convert them.
I have used different programs with the same outcome but at the moment I am using chapter and verse to create my audiobooks. I usually break them into 2 or 3 files because of how horrible the reliability is to begin with.
The M4B format seems to be plagued with issues and I am hoping I can put my finger on this one because it is by far the most annoying.
If it matters I typically use voice setting, high efficiency setting, VBR setting, 64kbits if stereo setting but set it to mono so it is 32kbits, and I have the sample rate set to auto. It results in files around 160MB/10HRs and sound no worse than what audible publishes them as.
I doubt that matters though since I have experienced this issues with different settings.
I also am currently setting my chapters to every 10 minutes to make skipping easier because of how common this issue is. If they are longer finding my spot is very difficult using the slider on an iPhone. I might even go smaller on the next book and make smaller files as well.
Any insight would be great. I am most certainly NOT the only person with this issue since I have been able to recreate it hundreds of times with CD source, mp3 source, on my MacBook, on my PC, with several different programs, without using any special program at all (iTunes only)
Apple most def will not be resolving an issue that is several years old so I'd like to know how to format my books in a way to avoid this.

One thing you can look at is if in iTunes, you right click on the audiobook track, choose get info, and go to the options tab, remember playback position should be checked.

Background image vertically distorted -appears ok when paused and restarted

using 768 x 576 .jpg images as background for a PAL standard idvd:
- when burned with "PAL"Standard (4:3)" / "professional quality" (movie length is 55 min,)
- & watching on a laptop/a mac g5 / a windows pc
the images appeared vertically distorted
but:
when pausing and restarting the dvd again the image
changes to the desired size
even when i used a quicktime as background movie
the same problem occurs
whereas:
the display on a TV* was fine
(given that a 4:3 ratio was set for a widescreen tv or using a 4:3 ratio TV)
when i did not use any image (burning just the movie)
nothing appeared to be distorted (the movie is not distorted
neither are the no-images-no-backgrounds-at-all menu screens)
Is there any specific colour depth or other technical information
i need to consider to solve this problem?
... I noticed that the colour of the image looks significantly different
on a TV compared to laptop/mac/windows pc
whereas the movie's colour appears to be quite similar
on TV/laptop/mac/windows pc ....

Thank you for trying to help, I really appreciate it.
It does not matter which option you use. As you know, one would want the background image on each page of a site to be the same size and location to provide a seamless transition from page to page. When using the blank template, the page can have an image put in (using fit, fill, stretch, orig) and be contiguous from page to page. However, when using the Photo template, after clicking on an album image to view larger, the background image unexplicably shifts/distorts downward on the page, and stays that way even upon returning to the album.

"Pause" and "Resume" No Longer Work...HELP PLEASE!!!

Whenever I download podcasts, the "pause" and "resume" feature does not work!!! If I "pause" any of my downloads in mid-download..and then hit "resume"...I lose everything that has downloaded to that point and it goes back to the very beginning...this is aggravating since I have dial-up internet and it takes hours to download some podcasts. Do you know if this is a problem with iTunes for Mac or with the podcasts, all of which are from NPR websites? Personally I think it's iTunes...Has anyone else complained of this problem?? It only started to happen, I believe, after I updated my iTunes to version 7.5(19). Thanks so much for your help. ~spinniken

It's not just podcasts! I have had the same problem off and on, but it's just happened again. My internet access is only 64K (not much faster than the old 56K dial-up!) and I was 60MB into the new iPhone software when I paused. That's three hours gone!

Can we Pause and Resume Copy/Paste in Mac Systems ?

Hello,
We all know that we can pause and resume copy/pase function in windows system using various tools, so my concern is, can we do the same in Mac systems????

Ahhh you mean something like tera copy that is available for windows system....??
Well i dont thing so there is any application that offers pause and resume a copy process on mac, however looking for a solution I found an application that actually provides similar functionality and a few more features for mac copying process.
The tools name is turbo copy pro and you can find it here: http://www.turbocopypro.com/
But unfortunately, as for all the mac applications, this one is a paid tool. I had a trial run with this application and it seemed to work fine.

How are firefox download pause and resume features implemented? A high-level logic/algorithm would be greatly appreciated.

''dupe of https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1000658''
I would write a stand-alone program (supporting the pause and resume features) to download stuff from internet. Can someone provide info how this can be done?

Sorry that is beyond the scope of this Firefox user support forum. <br />
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/

How exactly do firefox download pause and resume features work?

Could I get technical information on how exactly these functionalities work? If you could provide enough details to enable writing a stand-alone program to download stuff from internet with pause and resume functionalities, it would be of great help.

Open the download window''' <Control> J.''' Right click on the file in question
and select pause. '''Warning ! !''' Sometimes the resume does not work on
some web sites.

Download speed will slow to nothing. Must continually manually pause and resume to force the connection to the download to complete. How to fix?

Have recently tried to download multiple files from multiple locations. These files will show up as downloading in the download manager. After 5-10 seconds, the download will slow to a crawl. In the window for the download manager, it will state that the download still has a download speed. When reviewing the time and progress, as well as monitoring my actual inbound/outbound internet traffic, I can conclude the download does not have any actual download speed remaining (that is, 0 kilobytes/sec).
To complete the download, I must manually click on the file being downloaded, force it to pause and then force it to resume. This will cause the download to actually download again for about 5-10 seconds before the download manager states that the download speed is slowing down (when in fact it goes back to 0 kilobytes/sec). This process must be repeated until the file is fully downloaded.
Also observed is that there will suddenly be more of a connection, downloading just a bit of the file, before going back to 0 kbps. This will happen every so often and is much slower than manually pausing/resuming. If left to its own devices for long, it also has a chance that it will decide that the file is complete and report that it has the full file size of the download. Review of the actual downloaded file shows that the file is incomplete for the supposed size of the download.
This should not be an issue with internet usage. There is no inbound/outbound traffic for my connection when the download speeds hit 0kbps. Loading webpages during this time load fine, only the download is unstable.

Problem Solved!!! :) No need Of Any AntiVirus !
Got back into '''Firefox 5.0.1''' !!
Its Working Great!

Pause and Resuming Iteration in MTM with video.

Hi Everyone,
Im investigating about how to pause a iteration (Pause Button and Button Save-Close) and save the video, when I resume iteration in MTM I need to continue saving the video.
My steps are
Iteration 01:
1.Check some steps like "Passed" and press Pause button.
2.Press Save and Close button (Test case status is "Pause")
3. When I check the "Paused" Test case, I can see the video of the "Passed" steps.
4.So, I press "Resume" to Resume test run, and Test Runner show "Resume" Button.
5.I press "Resume" Button and I start to check next steps for complete the Test case in iteration 01.
6. I press End Test and Save and Close button.
But the problem is that TFS only save video from the firsts "Passed" steps(Before pause) and others was not saved If I see Steps with video (video is attached only)
Is possible to continue saving video after resume the test?
Thanks.

Hi kurapica,
Base on my test in MTM 2013, it creates the new video file for the resuming test.
I think you don’t change the iteration in test result, please change the Iteration and check the files in the attachments section.

Automatic pausing and resuming

Hi
I've been making a short movie. It contains some tweens (both shape and motion). I want the movie to automaticly pause at a specific moment (which bisects multiple tweens) and for a button to appear to contine the movie.
I am completly new to flash and will have to have everything spoon fed to me. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

you can use the stop() method of tweens and the resume() method of tweens to pause/continue your tweens.

Pausing and resuming a PL/SQL proc from oracle PL/SQL DEVELOPER tool

I need to test a PL/SQL on how it reacts to an exception. I need to PAUSE it, do something outside of the proc and then resume the proc. Is there a PROMPT command in PL/SQL where it would wait for user input? Can I use DBMS_OUTPUT.GET_LINE to do this? Where does the GET_LINE raed its input from?

Perhaps the following demo will help. It uses straight SQL, since the PRIMARY KEY stuff does not require any sort of PL/SQL.
I set up 2 sessions in SQLPlus.
Session 1 - create a table with a primary key, insert and do not commit:
session 1:
C:\Users\Hans>sqlplus test/test
SQL*Plus: Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production on Sat Oct 10 15:40:13 2009
Copyright (c) 1982, 2005, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Connected to:
Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production
SQL> create table abc ( a number primary key enable);
Table created.
SQL> insert into abc values (1);
1 row created.Go to session 2 and insert:
C:\Users\Hans>sqlplus test/test
SQL*Plus: Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production on Sat Oct 10 15:36:45 2009
Copyright (c) 1982, 2005, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Connected to:
Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production
SQL> insert into abc values (1);it hangs here.
Switch back to session 1 and commit;
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
SQL>and in session 2 I see
insert into abc values (1)
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00001: unique constraint (TEST.SYS_C006468) violated
SQL>Trying this for different test cases: session 1 insert value (2) and session s, insert value (3)
Session 1
SQL> insert into abc values (2);
1 row created.
SQL>Session 2
SQL> insert into abc values (3);
1 row created.
SQL>Back to session 1
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
SQL>Back to session 2
SQL> insert into abc values (3);
1 row created.
SQL>So I conclude that dups will block during insert.
For your original question - SQL and PL/SQL are run in separate engines. PL/SQL sends the SQL command to the SQL engine, which runs that and returns any return info (rowset, error, ...).
So any questions about SQL and SQL transaction control may be handled in a purely SQLPlus (or TOAD or SQLDeveloper) test case.
OTOH, questions about PL/SQL can be answered using a debug environment such as SQLDeveloper - see http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/sqldev/plsql_debug/plsql_debug.htm

Repeated Pause and Resume Session in Sun MQ Logs

We are occasionally seeing these below log statements in the Sun MQ log file beineg generated at a very rapid rate. We are running in DEBUG mode (imq.log.level = DEBUG). Any idea what may cause these logs to be generated? I suspect that some JMS client is misbehaving, possibly in a loop, but I dont have any means to identify the JMS client that could have possibly triggered this.
We are using Sun MQ 4.4U1

It's possible the client is either doing Session.recover() or rolling back transactions which would incur those debug logging.
