Best animation program out of the CC programs?

I understand that Adobe has programs like flash pro, after effects, etc, but what is the absolute best and core animating program from the CC arsenal?

Each of them can be the "best" for a specific type of animation, so on a general level your question doesn't really make sense. Character animation has different requirements than visual effects, creating animated GIFs or web animations is different from broadcast work, you know...

Flash animations are out of the flash window limit ...

When I place a flash animation in power point using breeze
presenter, and I publish the presentation it is possible to see the
animations that are out of the flash window limit …
What can I do to make the breeze respect the flash limits and
hide the animations outside those limits?
Thanks!

Just out of curiosity....is it possible that you've got
elements in flash that begin OFF the flash stage and then animate
ONTO it?
There was a *funky* artifact of creating flash animations
that played very strangely when imported into Breeze; there was a
tech note about this, but I haven't found it recently. If your
flash animation *must* be 200 x 200, then what I'd try is this:
In flash, create a mask layer and be sure to have all other
layers become masked by it. I realize that without seeing your
animation, that it's probably "easier said than done"... However,
the thing to note here is that by masking the stage in flash (and
thus all the elements animated within it), you'll effectively kill
the visibility of all visual elements that are off the stage.
For what it's worth, I'd be happy to assist if you need
further help. Just drop me a note using the private message
function, or email me at [email protected]
HTH,

Flash animation extending out of the SWF movie into the 'non-flash' areas of the browser

Hey Everybody --
So I was on myspace and I couldn't help but to notice that
one of the flash animated ads they were running had butcher knives
(it was for some horror movie) coming out of the movieclip and into
the browser. Does this make sense? Has anyone else seen this
awesome special effect yet? I have been trying to find information
on how to do it, I assume it is new in Actionscript 3 am I correct?
I can't find anything on it, not even a tutorial but then I don't
quite know what to search for either.
Can anyone explain how to do this or know what this special
effect is being called/what I should search for?? Can anyone direct
me to a tutorial or any information at all, I would greatly
appreciate it.
Thanks!

check dhtml and transparent flash.

What best adobe programs to (design) and (create) animated gif or image ?

Hello,
first thank you very much for helping me,
i am about creating an animated gif like the background you can see in war craft 3 frozen throne for a game,
i have to design it first with high quality so i need to know best adobe programs can do that, although i need to know the easiest, so i need to know both of them the best and the easiest so if didn't made it with the best i can made it with the easiest pro, and please put in mind that i need a program to design the image from nothing so i will draw it or design it i don't know depending on the program it self but i will not use it for editing or use an image already there, i need an elite pro that allow to create the image from nothing.
after that i need to create an animated gif for the image (gif not good for high quality images so if you know better please tell),
for example "Her hair moves with the moving wind" so i need to move it, i don't know how so i need a program to make it move too.
last thing at the end i need the file type be accepted in html(5) adobe games programs like flash builder or flash pro for example, i know flash pro can animate it but will not design it, thank you again.

It may require a few different apps. Clearly the number one app is you and your ability to conceptualize. And, it depends on what type of animation you ultimately want produced. Game graphics is a lot different than a web banner animated .gif. I'm thinking Illustrator, Photoshop, Edge Animate, and After Effects.

Pulling a program out of the IDE

I have been playing with pulling small progrograms out of my Integrated development environment (IDE); writing them to CD; and installing them on other desktops, just as an exercise in the case I want to deliver some applications to a friend.
The overall requirements(steps) are not clear to me.
1.the directory organization
2. the file (jar) creation
3. the D0S (java.exe) window
Are some of the issue that come to mind.
I have been able to use a desktop icon and set the path to a program.class file and run it--making the program window appear but the java.exe Dos window also appears.
So far, the number of texts I have give no step by step instructions on how to configure an environment without an IDE with the java VM already intalled, or how to pull a program out of the IDE and install it along with a copy of the VM on another machine.

Good question. Lot's of people don't know this, and I can't even say I have all the right answers. There are probably numerous ways you could do this. The best way, if you have the money, is to buy something like InstallAnywhere or Wise that provide professional installations. Not only will your install look like professional installation of stuff like Photoshop, etc but it will also handle issues like OS platform specifics, environment variables, registry entires (if possible), the proper JRE/JDK installed... if not install it, uninstallation features, and so forth. That is by far the best way to go.
However, often you just want to bundle something up and send it out to a few friends, family, etc. You could of course look for an open source or freeware utitlity and no doubt there are some out there. Or, you could do what a lot of people do now, use the Ant tool (written in Java) and have a build script that does everything for you. I have a simple template build script that is used for various tasks. In our work setup, it does local dev (incremental) compiles, and if necessary packaging it up into .jar/.zip files. My single build script can also run junit tests and reports, builds executable packages into .zip and .jar's as necessary, will do a clean build (great for making sure any code changes don't break some code elsewhere, thus ensuring that your normal incremental build process is not missing something), it can FTP or copy files to locations, it can email results, and so forth. If you don't know about ant, I STRONGLY suggest you learn it quickly, and to me there is no better way than buy the book Java Development with Ant. Two of the main Ant developers/committers wrote the book and it does an excellent job of teaching you about all the different uses of Ant, including the template build script I now use. It is well worth the $40 or so you'll find the book for, and within a week you'll have a good build template that you can modify for specific projects.
Now, in terms of the 3 things, well, the directory organization is always changing. Each project may have something different, but here is one that I usually use:
<root project dir>: (below this you'll find)
/src - location of all src files
/src/java - the location of the project specific java code
/src/examples - if need be (especially useful for frameworks and API's you wish to share) show example applications using the output of the /src/java code
/src/test - location of JUnit, jfcUnit and other test files to unit test your code (very important, should be done no matter what!!)
/lib - location of any 3rd party libraries you need, both for compilation and runtime. Keep in mind that your build script may pull only a subset of these libraries in for runtime. For example, the /src/test that uses JUnit will require the junit.jar file. You won't need this for runtime, so your build script sets up a compile classpath with junit.jar, and a runtime classpath that will exclude junit.jar, perhaps others.
/dist - the location that the build script puts all distributable files. This would be any executable .jar file, any .zip file, perhaps other files necessary for distribution. If you were making a large application and planned to burn it to disk, instead of a single .zip file, you may actually build the sub-dirs below the /dist/<your app> type of dir, so that you can simply burn from that <your app> dir to the root of the cd.
/build - location of all compiled classes, including from /src/java, /src/examples, /src/test.
/build/classes - the location of compiled java code
/build/test - the location of test results, including perhaps test data to be used by the test code, and possibly the output dir of test reports
- /build/test/reports for example for output of test reports.
/doc - location of any documentation, including the JavaDoc produced by the build script from your src.
<project root> - this is the location of your build.xml ant build script, if need be. The build script, as you would learn in the book, is set up so that you can move it anywhere and it will still build your project correctly. You may opt to put it in the /scripts dir instead and keep the project root super clean.
/misc or /etc - common location to put things like properties files, misc files used to build projects. For example, in the building of a EJB application (.jar or .ear file), you will no doubt need the META-INF/application.xml file. Or in a .jar file you need a special META-INF/manifest.mf file. The /misc or /etc dir is a good candidate for these types of things. You can even package it up in your app so that in the .jar file you have /etc/properties/somepropertyfile.properties, and in your code do a simple getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("/etc/properties/somepropertyfile.properties") to always ensure you pull it from this directory. OR, your build script can "change" the location this file goes. It is all up to you.
That is what I use for all my projects, the dir structure anyway. What you do to build your .jar/.zip files is up to you. You usually don't need to pull the /src dir, the /dist dir, etc into your .jar/.zip files. Normally you'll have the compiled classes at the root. So in your project dir on your disk, you may have <project root>/build/classes/java/org/mycompany/ui/Main.class, and in your .jar file it would simply be <root of .jar file>/org/mycompany/ui/Main.class, and your build file can easily "change" the root path (using <zipfileset prefix=""> task) to change the path of any file. But more of that can be learned in that book and by looking up resources on the net. The Ant JavaDoc API is very good at explaining most of these as well, and there are TONS of ant scripts in most projects to look at for examples.
The file creation, well, as I said Ant has built in tasks you can use to create .jar files, .zip files, etc. All of that is all built in to how Ant works.
As for java.exe, well, in a professional app, you usually do one of two things. You either write a simple C/C++/Delphi/some other languages .exe wrapper (for windows) that internall executes the java.exe and runs the JVM to hide the window, as well as provide a .exe file to look more "native", or you run javaw.exe, which hides the Console output window for most apps. NOTE: if you create a .bat shortcut on your desktop to javaw.exe, you will STILL get a console window that shows up. ALL shortcuts to .bat files will always create a console window. Many java developers don't understand why they run javaw.exe from a shortcut on their desktop and still see the console window.
Now, hopefully that helped a bit. But if not, or you still have questions, I am watching this thread so fire away and I'll help more.

What is the best antivirus program for mac

Can somebody tell me what the best antivirus program is at this moment for macbook air?

1. This comment applies to malicious software ("malware") that's installed unwittingly by the victim of a network attack. It does not apply to software, such as keystroke loggers, that may be installed deliberately by an intruder who has hands-on access to the victim's computer. That threat is in a different category, and there's no easy way to defend against it. If you have reason to suspect that you're the target of such an attack, you need expert help.
OS X now implements three layers of built-in protection specifically against malware, not counting runtime protections such as execute disable, sandboxing, system library randomization, and address space layout randomization that may also guard against other kinds of exploits.
2. All versions of OS X since 10.6.7 have been able to detect known Mac malware in downloaded files, and to block insecure web plugins. This feature is transparent to the user, but internally Apple calls it "XProtect." The malware recognition database is automatically checked for updates once a day; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders.
The following caveats apply to XProtect:
It can be bypassed by some third-party networking software, such as BitTorrent clients and Java applets.
It only applies to software downloaded from the network. Software installed from a CD or other media is not checked.
3. Starting with OS X 10.7.5, there has been a second layer of built-in malware protection, designated "Gatekeeper" by Apple. By default, applications and Installer packages downloaded from the network will only run if they're digitally signed by a developer with a certificate issued by Apple. Software certified in this way hasn't necessarily been tested by Apple, but you can be reasonably sure that it hasn't been modified by anyone other than the developer. His identity is known to Apple, so he could be held legally responsible if he distributed malware. That may not mean much if the developer lives in a country with a weak legal system (see below.)
Gatekeeper doesn't depend on a database of known malware. It has, however, the same limitations as XProtect, and in addition the following:
It can easily be disabled or overridden by the user.
A malware attacker could get control of a code-signing certificate under false pretenses, or could simply ignore the consequences of distributing codesigned malware.
An App Store developer could find a way to bypass Apple's oversight, or the oversight could fail due to human error.
For the reasons given above, App Store products, and other applications recognized by Gatekeeper as signed, are safer than others, but they can't be considered absolutely safe. "Sandboxed" applications may prompt for access to private data, such as your contacts, or for access to the network. Think before granting that access. OS X security is based on user input. Never click through any request for authorization without thinking.
4. Starting with OS X 10.8.3, a third layer of protection has been added: a "Malware Removal Tool" (MRT). MRT runs automatically in the background when you update the OS. It checks for, and removes, malware that may have evaded the other protections via a Java exploit (see below.) MRT also runs when you install or update the Apple-supplied Java runtime (but not the Oracle runtime.) Like XProtect, MRT is presumably effective against known attacks, but maybe not against unknown attacks. It notifies you if it finds malware, but otherwise there's no user interface to MRT.
5. XProtect, Gatekeeper, and MRT reduce the risk of malware attack, but they're not absolute protection. The first and best line of defense is always your own intelligence. With the possible exception of Java exploits, all known malware circulating on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of so-called "trojan horses," which can only have an effect if the victim is duped into running them. The threat therefore amounts to a battle of wits between you and the malware attacker. If you're smarter than he thinks you are, you'll win.
That means, in practice, that you never use software that comes from an untrustworthy source, or that does something inherently untrustworthy. How do you know what is trustworthy?
Any website that prompts you to install a “codec,” “plug-in,” "player," "extractor," or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown one, is untrustworthy.
A web operator who tells you that you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, or that you have won a prize in a contest you never entered, is trying to commit a crime with you as the victim. (Some reputable websites did legitimately warn visitors who were infected with the "DNSChanger" malware. That exception to this rule no longer applies.)
Pirated copies or "cracks" of commercial software, no matter where they come from, are unsafe.
Software of any kind downloaded from a BitTorrent or from a Usenet binary newsgroup is unsafe.
Software that purports to help you do something that's illegal or that infringes copyright, such as saving streamed audio or video for reuse without permission, is unsafe. All YouTube "downloaders" are in this category, though not all are necessarily harmful.
Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be downloaded directly from the developer’s website. If it comes from any other source, it's unsafe.
Even signed applications, no matter what the source, should not be trusted if they do something unexpected, such as asking for permission to access your contacts, your location, or the Internet for no obvious reason.
6. Java on the Web (not to be confused with JavaScript, to which it's not related, despite the similarity of the names) is a weak point in the security of any system. Java is, among other things, a platform for running complex applications in a web page, on the client. That was always a bad idea, and Java's developers have proven themselves incapable of implementing it without also creating a portal for malware to enter. Past Java exploits are the closest thing there has ever been to a Windows-style virus affecting OS X. Merely loading a page with malicious Java content could be harmful.
Fortunately, client-side Java on the Web is obsolete and mostly extinct. Only a few outmoded sites still use it. Try to hasten the process of extinction by avoiding those sites, if you have a choice. Forget about playing games or other non-essential uses of Java.
Java is not included in OS X 10.7 and later. Discrete Java installers are distributed by Apple and by Oracle (the developer of Java.) Don't use either one unless you need it. Most people don't. If Java is installed, disable it — not JavaScript — in your browsers.
Regardless of version, experience has shown that Java on the Web can't be trusted. If you must use a Java applet for a task on a specific site, enable Java only for that site in Safari. Never enable Java for a public website that carries third-party advertising. Use it only on well-known, login-protected, secure websites without ads. In Safari 6 or later, you'll see a lock icon in the address bar with the abbreviation "https" when visiting a secure site.
Follow the above guidelines, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can practically be. The rest of this comment concerns what you should not do to protect yourself from malware.
7. Never install any commercial "anti-virus" or "Internet security" products for the Mac, as they all do more harm than good, if they do any good at all. Any database of known threats is always going to be out of date. Most of the danger is from unknown threats. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use the free software ClamXav— nothing else.
Why shouldn't you use commercial "anti-virus" products?
Their design is predicated on the nonexistent threat that malware may be injected at any time, anywhere in the file system. Malware is downloaded from the network; it doesn't materialize from nowhere.
In order to meet that nonexistent threat, the software modifies or duplicates low-level functions of the operating system, which is a waste of resources and a common cause of instability, bugs, and poor performance.
By modifying the operating system, the software itself may create weaknesses that could be exploited by malware attackers.
8. ClamXav doesn't have these drawbacks. That doesn't mean it's entirely safe. It may report email messages that have "phishing" links in the body, or Windows malware in attachments, as infected files, and offer to delete or move them. Doing so will corrupt the Mail database. The messages should be deleted from within the Mail application.
ClamXav is not needed, and should not be relied upon, for protection against OS X malware. It's useful only for detecting Windows malware. Windows malware can't harm you directly (unless, of course, you use Windows.) Just don't pass it on to anyone else.
A Windows malware attachment in email is usually easy to recognize. The file name will often be targeted at people who aren't very bright; for example:
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥!!!!!!!H0TBABEZ4U!!!!!!!.AVI♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.exe
ClamXav may be able to tell you which particular virus or trojan it is, but do you care? In practice, there's seldom a reason to use ClamXav unless a network administrator requires you to run an anti-virus application.
9. The greatest harm done by security software, in my opinion, is in its effect on human behavior. It does little or nothing to protect people from emerging "zero-day" threats, but if they get a false sense of security from it, they may feel free to do things that expose them to higher risk. Nothing can lessen the need for safe computing practices.
10. It seems to be a common belief that the built-in Application Firewall acts as a barrier to infection, or prevents malware from functioning. It does neither. It blocks inbound connections to certain network services you're running, such as file sharing. It's disabled by default and you should leave it that way if you're behind a router on a private home or office network. Activate it only when you're on an untrusted network, for instance a public Wi-Fi hotspot, where you don't want to provide services. Disable any services you don't use in the Sharing preference pane. All are disabled by default.

How to find out all the tables associated with particular T-code or Program

Hi All,
In 4.6B we have a transaction code SE49, where we can see all the tables associated with particular Transaction code or Program.
But in ECC 5.0 or in ECC 6.0 this transaction code is not available.So is there any alternative where i can find out all the tables associated with particular T-code or Program.
Thanks
Shubham

Hi,
you are right, Transaction SE49 as well as SE48 do not exist anymore I'm afraid, they
are discontinued.
You might try to create a transaction variant:
1) Start SE93 to create a transaction variant
2) Specify a name, eg. ZSE49, and choose the first option:
   "program and screen (dialog transaction)
3) Here specify SAPMSEUZ as program, and 200 as screen number
4) Choose a suitable development class (package) if you want it to be
   transportable or Local (=$TMP) if non-transportable
5) press Save
Same applies for SE48, same program but dynpro 100.
Sorry for not being able the reasons behind the decision to discontinue
these transactions. I suppose at least part of the functionality was
integrated in SE38.
Best regards
Erika

Do itabs in ABAP program memory swap out when the program is swapped out?

Do itabs in ABAP program memory swap out when the program is swapped out by the app server scheduler?
If so, has anyone compared the time it takes to open/close an Oracle table n times with the time it takes to swap an itab of 50M in and out n times?

Andrew -
Although your suspicion appears to be wrong (according to the answer provided by CharlesF below), I'm awarding 6 because your answer indicates that you are at least sensitive to the issues involved here (which is better than 90% of the SAP practitioners out there.)
However, I do want to take strong issue with you on the matter of how much available "multi-gig" memory is available, because this is irrelevant to the issue at hand.
The question is: how does the swapin/out of large program memory affect the scheduler on the app server?
This is a queueing theory issue that has nothing to do with how much memory is out there.
Back in the days when folks had to know a little queueing theory (to evaluate the pro's and cons of ISO vs SNA and token-ring vs other protocols, everyone understood that if you ask the scheduler to repeatedly swap "alot" and to do so very often, then there will be a profound ripple effect on system performance, not just for anyone "job" or "program", but for any and every job or program.
The reason is very simple, and the folks who taught the ISO/SNA seminars always used it: traffic flow on passenger highways is always best when there are few trucks travelling with the cars. This is why the New Jersey turnpike sometimes splits into two "cars only" and "trucks and cars" highways, and why many other roads have "right lane" only restrictions for trucks in certain areas that tend to get congested ...
Anyway, always a pleasure to chat with you ...
Best regards

What is the best software programs that I can use to read, write and modify data / files on external HD (NTFS format i.e. Windows) ?

Hi guys,
I’m new to Mac and have a MacBook Pro Lion OS (10.6.8 I think !!!) with Parallels 7 (Windows 7) installed. Can someone please tell me what is the best software program that I can use to read, write and modify data / files on external HD (NTFS format) from the Mac OS ? I heard of Paragon and Tuxera NTFS. Are they free ? Are they good ? Are there any other software programs out there ? I heard that some people have issues with Paragon.
Thanks.

Your best bet would be to take the drive to the oldest/compatible with that drive Windows PC and grab the files off, right click and format it exFAT (XP users can download exFAT from Microsoft) and then put the files back on.
Mac's can read and write all Windows files formats except write to NTFS (and in some cases not read) so if you can change the format of the drive to exFAT (all data has to be remove first) then you will have a drive that doesn't require paid third party NTFS software (a license fee goes to Microsoft) for updates.
Also it's one less hassle to deal with too.

Which assistant tool is the best to program java?

hello,all
I want to know what tools do you often use to
program.
Always I program in the notepad,and then compile
if in JDK,but I find I'm very tied to program in such
environment,and it always cause wrong.I like the interface
in Visual J++,but due to some reason I don't want to use
Visual J++,can someone tell me a better tool.
Update with JDK or developed by Sun is the best one.
Regards.

In my experience the best there is out there COULD BE ... as follows :)
Just a text editor, metapad : http://welcome.to/metapad/ (very simple text editor with some great little features for any programmer - and none of those annoying ones that notepad or wordpad have. I personally use this more often than anything else)
Simple stuff, neat and lightweght SciTe : www.scintilla.org/SciTE.html(very, very sweet and simple)
In great betweeny, Eclipse : www.eclipse.org (its excellent, + I ADORE the refactoring feature)
The works, JBuilder : www.borland.com/jbuilder (generally regarded as the best or the among the best and the trial version is free)

Anyone know how to get out of the edge program?

I dropped my old phone in the toilet and it was not time for an upgrade. Therefore, I went to the get a phone under the Edge Program. I specifically asked the rep at the store if I could go back to two year contract after I paid off the 50% of the program and he said yes. I hate this program. I only did it because I needed a phone and was not due an upgrade. Now I understand that the only way I can get out of the Edge Program is to pay off the entire balance of the phone...which is outrageous. I no longer want to pay monthly installments. I want to pay a one time 2-year upgrade fee and start a new contract. It is my understanding my only choice is to pay off the entire edge or return the phone to Edge up. Problem is my phone has a small crack that I didn't realize was there until my son told me about it. If you look at the phone normal you don't see it but if you look at it from an angle you can see the crack.
I only want to get out of Edge. I will have paid off 50% by January and want to go back to a normal 2-year agreement...but I do not want to return the phone although I will if I have to, that is if they will take it back with a crack. Otherwise, I would need to pay the insurance to get a new phone and then turn it in. This still cost me money. I am contemplating just paying off the rest of the balance and then maybe it will say I can get a new two-year contract, like it does for the other phones on my account.
I have been a verizon customer way back when it was called Bell Atlantic Mobile and you would think they could do something for me since I have been a good customer all these years. I don't want to leave because I have four other phones and a tablet with Verizon but I will if I have too. I would obviously go to AT&T.
Does anyone, maybe a verizon rep, have any options for me?

I'm not a Verizon rep, just another customer like you. EDGE is a payment plan, or Rent to Own, or a lease program if you intend to keep upgrading. If you want off the EDGE program, you can pay off the total balance due on the phone and keep it, and then you can start a new two year contract with a different phone.
In order to return the phone at the 50% point, and be done with EDGE, the phone has to be in good working condition. The crack means it's not in good condition, so you will be charged the full price, whether you plan to EDGE up or go contract. Either way, you'll end up paying for the EDGE phone, over time or in a lump sum. It was one way to get a new phone when you were not eligible for the discounted price on your previous phone, but you need to fulfill that obligation before you can get another discounted phone.
Do you want a new phone/different phone? Look at eBay or swappa, or check with your friends who may have something you can borrow. Or simply keep using the EDGE phone until it's paid for, then look at options at that time.

How can I select the Quicktime plug-in (in Firefox) as the Helper Application, as only programs out of the web browser are shown?

I recently updated my QuickTime Plug-in (7.7.4) on Firefox 21. Prior to the update, I could open midi files in the Firefox and other browsers with a QuickTime Player. Now, I've got my Windows 7 computer asking how it should save or open the file. The QuickTime Plug-in is enabled and works with other types of files. If I open Tools, select Options, and select Applications, I do have the option of selecting "Use QuickTime Plug-in 7.7.4 (in Firefox)" for many file types. For the "Midi Sequence" type, it isn't an option, (only programs which open the midi files outside of the browser). Presently my only option is to use "Windows Media Player" as the default program, (opening midi files outside of the browser). "Mid file" allows the selection of the QuickTime Plug-in but still goes out of the Firefox browser to use the Windows Media Player, whether the file's extension is .mid or .midi
Is these someplace I can find the "Use QuickTime Plug-in 7.7.4 (in Firefox)" with the "Browse" within my computer's files, or am I now stuck using the "Windows Media Player" when a plug-in should be able to do this simple task? I can watch YouTUbe (in Firefox) but cannot play a midi file (in Firefox)!

QT 7.7.4 use "audio/mid" MIME type only and does not understand now "audio/midi" and "audio/x-midi" types commonly used on server side. Blame Apple for that.

What is the Best Utility program for my Macbook Pro

I have a Macbook Pro 2.33 with OS 10.4.10. I would like to know what is the best utility program to help with my computer. I used to use Norton Utilities, but I don't think they support 10.4. Is Tech Tool Pro a good program.
Thanks.

Is Tech Tool Pro a good program.
Yes.

I have a problem that I can not load or even close the download in iTunes, it turns out I have hanging in the mode, and because of that I can't download from AppStore, because it turns out that the other programs I have on standby. What do I do? Thank you

If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Try this. Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it should resume the download.
If that doesn't work:
• Log out of your iTunes store account. Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
• Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
• After restart, the Waiting should be gone.

Logout has timed out because the app (program name) failed to quit

Hi,
I've been having an odd problem with my Mac since I did the last software upgrade.
I upgraded to 10.5.8 and this problem has been occurring sporadically ever since.
Basically, 7 times out of 10, when I try and shut the computer down, I get the following message: "Logout has timed out because the app (program name) failed to quit."
The program apparently causing the problem varies - sometimes it's Photoshop, sometimes iTunes, OpenOffice, etc. Today it failed because Software Update (which I'd just run, in order to install the latest update) failed to quit!
The only way I can get the computer to shut down in this case is to press and hold the power button.
My Mac is a 20 inch 2.66 GHz with 2GB of RAM, and is about 18 months old. Up until the last upgrade I had no problems with it.
Has anyone else had this problem and is there a way to fix it?

HI,
Open Activity Monitor (Applications/Utilites)
Click the pop up menu and select: My Processes
You can Force Quit any of the apps you mentioned from that window befoe you shut down.
