Background Garbage

PDF graphics Output as grayscales are getting excessive Gray backgrounds in white areas, doesn't seem to matter what program generates the PDF ie. word,indesign,publisher, acrobat.
The background is not a consistant screening, appears to be random screen,or pattern . PDF's are being placed in Indesign CS2 (MAC OS 10.4) and output to a Xitron RIP. Any Ideas how to fix this issue.......

  • Trim (SSD) in 10.6.7 - ? and what happens to the SSD if not?

    Am I up to date in assuming that there is no way to know when 10.6.7 will be released or whether it'll allow for using the trim function on SSDs (for all, not bizarrely just for new MacBooks)? And, second question, if 10.7 will indeed provide this function for all who's hardware permits it (like all MacPro, I guess)—what will happen to an SSD when in use for, say, 4 months without trimming? Will it degrade irreversibly, or will the use of that trim function then set it to the state it would have been in when trimming for 4 months constantly?
    thanks a lot

    There are a number of users, and threads, about using SSDs.
    TRIM is an OS level feature.
    OWC switched to Sand Force and the SF controllers have their own background garbage collection. I haven't seen much about the newest SF-2000s yet.
    Allow for over provisioning (when I formatted a couple SSDs, Disk Utility seem to 'map' 5GB or 10%, not sure which, so maybe it sets aside some). I just would get a drive that has extra space.
    You'll find Wikipedia has excellent articles on SSD, TRIM, write amplification and more. And Diskeeper blog has an article on the inner workings of SSD.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Write_amplification
    No it won't be irreversible if there is some. Just keep a backup clone though. And keep SSD to just OS and apps, or if using for scratch, but use a standard mechanical drive for all your data and other purposes.

  • Partitioning Mac for Bootcamp Without Reformatting HDD

    Hello, I hope this is the correct area to start this discussion.
    I'm trying to figure out how I can install windows via boot camp, without reformatting my HDD (or use of installation CD).
    I'm currently on tour around the U.S., and my installation disks are at my home address.
    As a roady photographer, access to my computer and Photoshop is essential to me, and its very important that i can continue to use my mac pro through out the remainder of this year, it is how I make most of my living wile out on tour, so I hope this explains how important it is that i do this right the first time.
    Its kind of overwhelming, and I don't know where to start.
    I am Tech savvy, but not qualified, my experience has been the above average consumer working around tech problems since AOL launched, so I will try my best to explain what I can, and understand what anyone here try's to offer.
    First off, here are my specs:
    Processor  2.2 GHz Intel Core i7
    Memory  8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 MB
    Software  Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 (11D50b)
    Reason for Boot camp:
    I work with Final Cut, Photoshop, Adobe Aftereffects, and a few other heavy duty programs, I'm an Artist and love working with Music and Media.
    Some may say that my specs can handle all this, but if it where up to me I would rather have a Tower, but traveling on the road limits me to using the Pro.
    On my free time im an avid gamer, At first I was ok with apps, later on I wanted to play some old games like LOTR Battle for Middle Earth, I know my laptop was good enough to play, but I had to get windows so it would be compatible.
    I have Parallels 7 from my work, and a copy of Windows 7, and i was able to create a virtual machine to play some PC games.
    All was fine until I got into bigger games like ARMA2,
    It felt like my laptop was going to die from parallels, so i decided to install Windows on bootcamp because i use it very often. (best of both worlds) 
    Because of the  programs i use on OS, i don't want my computer to Run a virtual machine anymore, i feel like its very unhealthy.
    I want my OS to run full power flawlessly without the stress of virtual machine, and i want Windows to run full power flawlessly without stressing out OS,
    so I am going to use Boot Camp.
    How i will go about:
    I Have Decided i will attempt to Clone my mac to my External Hard drive.
    I have an External 2T Lacie Drive that has lots of space.
    Can someone explain to me in light detail how cloning works when you try to reformat your mac off an external Hard drive?
    From what i understand you can do it this way.
    Also, If i can manage to Clone my mac to my ExHD, will i be able to partition my hard drive for windows, and Re clone my mac back onto one of the partitions?
    If this process will work, what steps should i take first?
    Clone, then Boot camp?
    can i partition my hard drive, add my Mac back onto a partition, then add Windows CD at a Later time? (i dont have the CD on me atm)
    i apologize for the length of this post. Its very important that I can continue to access everything on my laptop, i wont be able to have my installation CDs until this October.
    Thank you.     

    you are fine.
    Upgrades from 10.6 to Lion with existing XP or Vista present was/is/can be an issue.
    Lion 10.7.0 and Boot Camp 4.0.0 were not working (why? oh, "never use dot zero?)
    Lion adds Recovery Partition.
    CCC now can clone that partition as well as your HFS volumes.
    Lack of contiguous free (unfragmented) storage, with no "locked" files or that fragment the free space.
    Shrinking the HFS volume and then stretch it back out to consolidate to get around the free space issue.
    Not realizing just how large to make Windows volume (double best estimate rule) or aim for 60GB.
    XP only needed 10-16GB or 32GB at top usually. Microsoft and Apple have this "16GB for 32-bit Windows 7" is the OS size, not the size of the partition needed to function (20GB for the base OS for 64-bit).
    Add in page, hibernation, temp, cache, and that 10GB just for 'shuffle" files around during updates.
    SSDs need space to allow for good background garbage collection and TRIM (a month's worth of writes is a good rule there).
    Not documented: you need to get the audio driver on your own along with current graphic driver after you install the OS and Apple drivers.
    "Boot Camp" is overused, misused, treated as if people are running BC instead of just running Winidows natively, with all that entails.
    Apple Software Update for Windows will update everything except Boot Camp drivers, whereas it could update itself like it has in the past, and could have been the avenue for getting all the drivers into Windows itself.

  • JSF IDE options options options

    JSF IDE options options options
    Hey guys just a quick question.
    I am currently using eclipse with exadel
    I am a bit over this IDE it just seems slow not sure if it is eclipse or exadel or WTP but something is slow kinda annoying so thinking to move away.
    I just wanted to know what you guys think in oracle JDeveloper vs Suns Java Studio creator?
    The thing that is annoying me with JDeveloper (after following their tutorial) they create managed beans which bind all their UI components never really liked this solution find it funny they do this in their tutorial that aside which do you guys think is better?

    I use Java Studio Creator. Why?
    Because it was the first one I could install and get to run without jumping thru a lot of hoops.
    And it was free.
    I've used JBuilder since JBuilder 3, but after JBX, I could not get the features I needed for free.
    And if anyone was going to stay on top of JSF, it was going to be Sun.
    What do I like about it?
    It seems to have all of the stuff together. I tried eclipse, but it had no GUI for building JSF components without a 3rd party demo package (mind you, that was several months ago).
    What do I hate about it?
    1) It can be slower than mole-asses, especially when starting the server.
    2) It seems that every other time I try to run a program, I get an error saying it is already in the server - some problem with dropping the reference. Most of the time a clean rebuild fixes that problem. Annoying, but it works.
    With regards to performance, I have to mention the system I am using.
    I have a Toshiba satellite laptop with a 2.5Gh Intel processor and 1Gb memory. running Windows XP (Dual booting with Linux Fedora 3). I'm using the Windows version of JSC - have not tried the Linux version because when I boot in Linux I only get a 800 x 600 screen) (really ticks me off, but that's another forum). Bscically the screen resolution makes it unusable. You need at least 1280 X 1024.
    I also have every database server known to mankind running in the badkground, so I figure that cuts down my effective horsepower by at least 25%.
    After a couple of days, I keep getting low virtual memory warnings. Not sure if it is because of JSC or all the other background garbage. JSC itself seem to chew up about 500K of virtual memory (proably twice that when it gets going). Without JSC I'm using about 250K, with JSC in the background I''m using about 600-700K, when running, my virtual memory requirements go up to about 1.3 to 1.5G.
    Basically, don't try this on a P3 with 256mb memory. IT IS A RESOURCE HOG, but it does a lot for you. Those CPU ticks and bits are being put to use (otherwise they are lost forever).
    In General, I am very pleased with JSC2. I wish it were a bit leaner and meaner, but then I would complain that it does not have all the features.
    My biggest complaint is that it was such a PITA to move from the early release to the current version. I used a lot of mastheads in my early programming. When they dropped that, it basically trashed all my forms and I had to rebuild all of them from scratch.
    That should give you at least one input data point for evaluation.

  • Windows 7 Professional - Disk Space low on 32gb partition?

    Hi.
    I have successfully gone through the Boot Camp Assistant, created a 32gb partition and installed my new copy of Windows 7.
    After the usual couple of reboots Windows runs fine but the problem is the amount of space Windows C: drive is showing me as available to use. Like I said, this partition is 32gb and the red bar is almost full! It says I have only 2.33gb remaining!!
    It took me 2 attempts to get windows installed and working properly (i'm a first time mac user and have no experience using bootcamp)... so upon failing the first time I rebooted into Lion, opened Boot Camp Assistant and removed Windows before my second attempt, maybe this has damaged the disk?
    My spec if it's of any use...
    Mac OS X Version 10.7.3
    27-inch - 3.4 GHz i7
    16gb DDR3 - Radeon HD 6970M 1024 MB
    Thanks for any advice or solutions, I'm a noob in need of help.
    Craig

    In theory and posted by Microsoft, which I find to be next to impossible:
    16GB for 32-bit
    why that does not work:
    page file 4-16GB
    hibernation file - size of physical RAM and useful to have and use
    20GB for core Windows
    10GB just to apply updates
    3-6GB for minimum programs
    3-5GB for cache, temp and icons etc
    any data or large programs
    free space to run properly

  • My SSD install in Lion shows no TRIM support.  How do I fix?

    Hi folks.  I had my new 2011 mini upgraded with an OCZ Vertex 2 SSD drive.  I checked for TRIM support after a clean install of Lion and it says No.  How do I fix this?  Thanks.

    I think some want to believe TRIM is needed; or, it was with older model SSDs.
    The TRIM Enabler has a change log, and history of sorts.
    SATA-IO has said that 3.1 specification will incorporate TRIM into NCQ (command queueing) going forward now that it is final and adopted which is a much better solution.
    The lack of free space or having to reuse storage cells (a month's worth is a good number) and the background garbage collection will take care of your drive.
    I would not. OWC does not recommend its use, and they just use Sand Force controller and firmware also.
    Also, a lot of PC users set motherboard RAID, TRIM is not supported in RAID configurations, and that seems to be fine.
    My Corsair SSDs (5) are 6 months and going strong.

  • Using SSD Drives for Booting and Apps

    If I installed a fairly small SSD drive to boot from, would I be able to move my main Applications folder over to this drive as well? Would this improve an app's loading time as much as it improves the computer's booting time?
    Thanks,
    Adam

    This is a constant question with new threads all the time about SSD, moving or leaving home folder, and applications.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=13181608
    SSDs do better if they aren't so small that the lack of TRIM (made up for by background garbage collection) and over-provisioning, as well as handling write amplification.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_drive
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Write_amplification
    Sometimes the boot drive is going to be used, and needs that 20GB of free space. Some try to limit writing to SSD.
    Smaller units don't always have the same specs, and some can be darn-right slow when it comes to writes. And especially true of some of the newest generation SSDs that are barely shipping now.
    Pull your old drive and keep it off line as backup.
    Copy your media and data folders and libraries.
    Some leave their home folder with just home library ~/Library
    Which is where your prefs, email, etc are kept and gets a lot of high I/O, but also where web browser abuse disk drives, generally doesn't get much beyond 1GB storage.
    Boot time is over rated sign of performance. And for some reason can be slower. Not everyone is happy with apps launching, others find it makes a huge difference. Some SSDs I read where OS X wouldn't install so they had to clone their system using CCC or SuperDuper. CCC lets you copy just what you need.

  • SSD time

    Hi All; I have a June04 G5 DP1.8. Currently I have it maxed out with a Geforce7800GS video card(good move people, sped it up like RAM and HDD did, maybe more)max RAM 4 GB, and am running two 7200rpm 32mb cache HDD. I am thinking that I will change the startup drive for an SSD just big enough for OS plus a little and do all storage and backing up on the second drive(HDD). The sata connector is 1.5 GBsec I believe, so how do I determine what SSD is fast enough and which ones are beyond realistic usability? I don't want to waste money I just want to get every last nano second of performance I can. BTW why do HDD's talk about seek times and SSD's talk about read and write times? Where can I find formulas that convert sata controller speeds,seek times, read/write times into the same language?

    Mechanical drives talk in terms of ms (millisecond) while SSD are ns (nano, which is closer to processor latency).
    SATA 1.0 will limit most SSD of course, which now have 250MB/sec r/w times.
    OWC has only recently deemed to put the latest 2.0 firmware on theirs, so be sure it has the latest! Sand Force controllers have had that available since December.
    Mac OS won't have TRIM so it is doubly important that the SSD controller does have active background garbage collection going on (normally during idle time, say weekly).
    Restoring SSD can be tricky in terms of performance on a Mac.
    MacIntouch today had a report of a G4 Sawtooth user with SSD for system and mini-home folder. Said it really made a difference. - putting home on mechanical drive was slowing down holding back Safari and anything that needed read or write to home folder regularly like browsers and some apps.
    This is better than some mechanical drives that have not done so well on 2003/-4 G5s or couldn't even use newer 10K WD Raptors.
    The only reason to get one from OWC is support Mac vendor but given how they took over 3 months to include the latest firmware, I just went with Corsairs instead. OCZ is fine now too (a year ago reports circulated that they were using "tier 2 parts" for nand memory. Corsair I knew was using Micron and that plus Sand Force 1200 = success.

    I am happy with a 240/250 GB SSD but unsure which model would suit best. Because of the SATA II limitation what benefit would i see with a higher end EXtreme Pro SSD over a cheaper model?
    The higher end SSDs have higher IOPS than the lower end SSDs so you would see a little snapper response from the OS but the over all throughput would still be limited to SATA II speed due to the SATA interface of the computer. 
    Because the SATA is II can you just half the SATA III performance spec for a SSD interfaced to a SATA II controller ? Will it not run at the 3 GB limit ?
    Overall throughput will be limited to 3Gb theoretical. You will probably see close to 300MB/s
    Without the sandisk software tools for Mac how can i update the SSD's firmware using a bootable USB stick, my CD/DVD drive has stopped functioning ?
    SanDisk provides a downloadable DMG that can be put on a USB drive for FW update http://kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/16966/
    I am interested in sandisk because of TRIM support on both the SSD and OSX 10.10.4.
    10.10.4 now supports TRIM for third party SSD but this is not limited to just SanDisk SSD. here is some more info on enaleling TRIM for third party SSD http://www.macrumors.com/2015/07/01/os-x-trim-ssd/

  • Getting an SSD...

    I want to get an Intel SSD for my 2010 Mac Pro (6 Core, 3.33Mhz). I have it down to the 320 Series (SATA II) vs. the 510 Series (SATA III). But perhaps an easy way to decide is if anyone can tell me if the Mac Pro supports the SATA III SSD drives or not?
    I`ve seen tons of forum members all over the place talking about buying the SATA III`s, but...
    Just curious if anyone knows.

    You might want to look at the Icy Dock adapter (I have two)
    There are reasons to avoid putting SATA3 SSDs in there.
    Also important are firmware revision, and how it will work with OS X without TRIM and relying on just the drive's controller to supply background garbage collection.

  • Can we explicitly stop the garbage Collector(which is running in background

    Hi all,
    we can clean up some memmory using System.gc() or freeMemory(). But my query is that we have to stop the gc which is running at the background in the JVM in java.
    I would request u all, to help me out in solving my query.

    Calling System.gc() from the code is not good development practice. You shouldn't have to worry about the GC.

  • Lots of garbage generated when Image is bound to a property that is null

    I noticed something odd -- I've written a program that displays some huge images in the background (1920x1200), but not all the items that are in the database actually have an image. Now, when an item is selected where the background image is null, and I simply set this image, I get a nice fade to black (so far so good).
    However, I noticed that as long as this "image" is being displayed something is generating about 1 MB of garbage on the heap every second. As soon as I switch to a real image again, this stops... and it starts again when I switch to the null image.
    Anybody notice the same? This seems like it might be a bug -- I'm thinking somekind of stacktrace is generated somewhere in the core but being swallowed.
    Workaround is to not set 'null' images I suppose :)

    That does seem very odd. Better follow this to make it know:

  • BACKGROUND PROCESSING, REPORT NOT LOADING, "OBJECT NOT SET TO INSTANCE..."

    Post Author: thecoffeemachine
    CA Forum: .NET
    I already posted this message in other Web sites, but I am almost getting crazy here and I need help:
    HI:
    The Web application I am testing was having several issues related to loading Crystal Reports. It was fixed and I do not know which of the 1000 things I did to fix it; but now it began, again, to have the same behavior after I had a conflict with another Web site that was in the same server.
    The thing is that I had another virtual directory where resided a copy of the same Web app. for testing purposes/working with the Visual Studio. The reports were loading all fine, very fast, all perfect... And suddenly the assemblies of one Web site and the other began to "blend" together and..... well the same behaviors appeared again. I tried to copy the last stable backup and rebuild the Web app... but it did not work.
    At the very first time that one requests the report, it shows without problem. At the second time it shows an error message related to "cannot submit to background processing", and sometimes "object not set to an instance.." ... and on the third time it just never shows up and the app. becomes unresponsive. I have to close the window and request the Web site again in another browser window. If I wish to see the report again I have to wait for hours until it shows it.
    I am using Visual Studio 2003 and the Crystal Report version that was shipped with that Visual Studio version. I am working with Windows Server 2003 and SQL Server 2000. Below is the VB code:
        Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load             Me.SqlConnection1.Open()
           Me.SqlSelectCommand1.Parameters("@CourseCode").Value = Request.QueryString("CD")         Me.SqlSelectCommandReferences.Parameters("@CourseCode").Value = Request.QueryString("CD")         Me.SqlSelectCommandTextbook.Parameters("@CourseCode").Value = Request.QueryString("CD")         Me.SqlSelectCommandObjectives.Parameters("@CourseCode").Value = Request.QueryString("CD")         Me.SqlSelectCommandTopicData.Parameters("@CourseCode").Value = Request.QueryString("CD") Me.SqlSelectCommandCourseOutcomes.Parameters("@CourseCode").Value = Request.QueryString("CD")
            Me.SqlDataAdapterMainData.Fill(Me.DtsSyllabusCompleteData1, "procWebSelectCourseSyllabusData")         Me.SqlDataAdapterReferences.Fill(Me.DtsSyllabusCompleteData1, "procWebSelectCourseReferenceData")         Me.SqlDataAdapterTextBook.Fill(Me.DtsSyllabusCompleteData1, "procWebSelectCourseTextbookData")         Me.SqlDataAdapterObjectives.Fill(Me.DtsSyllabusCompleteData1, "procWebSelectCourseObjectivesData")         Me.SqlDataAdapterTopicData.Fill(Me.DtsSyllabusCompleteData1, "procWebSelectCourseTopicData")
    Me.SqlDataAdapterCourseOutcomes.Fill(Me.DtsSyllabusCompleteData1, "procWebSelectCourseOutcomes")
            Dim myExportOptions As CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportOptions         Dim myDiskFileOptions As CrystalDecisions.Shared.DiskFileDestinationOptions         Dim myExportFile As String         Dim myReport As New ABETFormat         myReport.SetDataSource(Me.DtsSyllabusCompleteData1)
            myExportFile = "C:UNTempPDF" & Session.SessionID.ToString & ".pdf"         myDiskFileOptions = New CrystalDecisions.Shared.DiskFileDestinationOptions         myDiskFileOptions.DiskFileName = myExportFile         myExportOptions = myReport.ExportOptions
            With myExportOptions             .DestinationOptions = myDiskFileOptions             .ExportDestinationType = .ExportDestinationType.DiskFile             .ExportFormatType = .ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat         End With
            myReport.Export()
            Response.ClearContent()         Response.ClearHeaders()         Response.ContentType = "application/pdf"
            Response.WriteFile(myExportFile)         Response.Flush()         Response.Close()         System.IO.File.Delete(myExportFile)         Me.SqlConnection1.Close()
        End Sub
    I already have tried moving the Crystal Reports dll´s to the bin directory. ..... I have tried calling the Garbage Collector at page unload...I also have checked, inside the report, that the database is "up to date"... ... recycling the worker process of the IIS... etc...
    I see that, in debbuging mode inside the Visual Studio, when the page loads the debbuging window shows a message notifying that the symbols related to the Crystal Reports dll's could not be loaded.
    Should I need to modify the default properties of the database? I checked "database is case insensitive", "use indexes or server for speed".. I have tried checking and unchecking the box "performing grouping on server"
    Oh by the way, my report has about 4 subreports in it. Each report loaded shows 1 or 2 pages.
    ANY HELP WILL BE EXTREMELY APPRECIATED....

  • Garbage characters in begining of Mac saved file

    I'm new to the Mac environment and Dreamweaver so please
    excuse me if this is a simple issue to solve. I've been having
    issues with Dreamweaver inserting garbage characters in the
    beginning of a file created and saved. In IE6 and 7, the pages do
    not format correctly due to these garbage characters. When I save a
    new file in Dreamweaver and copy it over to a PC, the garbage
    characters show up in any editor . Is there a setting in
    Dreamweaver to correct this issue?
    Below is the saved code..notice the garbage in front of the
    Ôªø@charset "UTF-8";
    /* CSS Document */
    body{ margin: 0; padding: 0;font-family: "Lucida Grande",
    Lucida, Verdana, sans-serif; height: 100%; font-size: 12px;
    background-image: url(../images/cmt_talentapp_bg.jpg);
    background-repeat: no-repeat;}
    a { text-decoration: none; color: #109cd9; }
    a.hover { text-decoration: underline; }
    #pageContainer { width: 945px; height: auto; border: 0px
    solid green; float: left; padding-left: 5px; padding-top: 0px;
    margin-top: 0px;}
    #headerContainer { padding: 0 10px 0 10px; width: 920px;
    height: 100px; border: 1px red solid; float: left; }
    #contentArea { width: 710px; padding: 20px 0 30px 0; border:
    1px red solid; float: left; height: auto; }

    It's just a shoot in the dark. Deending on your settings, DW
    may insert a
    BOM:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte_Order_Mark
    At the beginning of UTF-8 encoded files.
    You may check your settings and try to change them to suit
    your needs, then
    see if the problem goes away.
