CD copy = data corruption for first 5 seconds of file.

Hi,
I have the following problem with reading audio CDs:
When copying an audio track onto my internal SATA drive, or my external FW400 drive, almost always I am getting this symptom.
The first few seconds of data are corrupted. Each time the amount of data corrupted is different, and usually is about 2 to 5 secornds in length.
This is the machine I have:
Hardware Overview:
Machine Name: Power Mac G5
Machine Model: PowerMac11,2
CPU Type: PowerPC G5 (1.1)
Number Of CPUs: 2
CPU Speed: 2 GHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 1 MB
Memory: 2 GB
Bus Speed: 1 GHz
Boot ROM Version: 5.2.7f1
Serial Number: XXXXXXXXXXX
And I use the following external USB CD burner / player to copy CDs with:
LaCie DVD Drive USB2:
Version: 0.00
Bus Power (mA): 500
Speed: Up to 480 Mb/sec
Manufacturer: LaCie
Product ID: 0x0623
Serial Number: 10000XXXXXXXXX
Vendor ID: 0x059f
Is anyone experiencing this issue? Is there a fix?
I work with audio 24/7 and this is starting to slow down my workflow, and is very inconvenient.
Thanks.

Hi! I really don't have a clue but are you sure the hard drive isn't set to sleep/spin down and what you are getting is being caused by the drive spinning up? Tom
Hi Tom,
Thanks for the tip. No the energy saver settings are set to keep drives on all the time. The hard drives don't "spin up" before copying, they are already "at speed".
Thanks

4s microphone has always malfunctioned (people can't hear me) for first 10 seconds of outgoing phone calls. I've synched w healthy Macbook Pro, replaced SIM cards, replaced iPhone 4s, called Applecare (no mic issue admitted). OS problem?

4s microphone has malfunctioned on most outgoing calls for many months. People can't hear me for first 10 seconds of outgoing phone calls. I've synched w healthy Macbook Pro, replaced SIM cards, replaced iPhone 4s when Apple Store thought it was probably a hardware problem, called Applecare (no mic issue admitted). OS problem??? I think so! [Possible] good news: for the past 2 days, since updating to 5.1.1, no one has reported problems hearing me!
I'm concerned Applecare folks did not admit to me that so many other 4s users also has malfunctioning mics.

Why would that even matter?
The device obviously has a hardware issue and is under warranty, take it to Apple for replacement and move on with life. No reason to make things difficult.

2 hour 1080p sequence to NTSC DV widescreen. Quality drops for first 30 seconds.

I am rendering a 2 hour clip from a 1080p sequence to a NTSC DV widescreen preset I have used in the past. The final render exibits strange behavior for the first 30 seconds or so. Quality (birtate it looks like) drops very low then back up mulitple times. Then it settles to the good quality for the rest of the clip. I have tried variable and constant bitrates, all different settings. nothing changes with shortening the length of the clip either.

Are you rendering, or exporting?
If the former, do you really need to? May people do it out of habit, not realizing it's largely unnecessary
If the latter, what are the media specs? What are the sequence and export settings?

Downloaded new format yesterday and now when playing music the sound is low for first few seconds of each subsequent track. Is this a bug?

Under new format when playing music each track after the first starts in low volume then kicks in within 3 seconds. very irritating. is this a bug?

I'm having the same issue on my iPad (the "new iPad" / 3rd gen with retina display and 30 pin dock connector) after downloading iOS 7 (is that what you meant by the new format, updating to iOS 7?).
The music will play quietly for a few seconds then it will play at the volume it's supposed to.

Theme audio plays for first few seconds of menu before dropped audio

I created my first iDVD movie, and added a .wav file to the main menu. I also used a theme from iDVD4 (montage). When I preview the movie, however (and after burning, this is also on the final DVD), the theme audio plays very loudly for a few seconds while the main menu is booting up, before kicking over to the added audio. Is there any way to make this themed audio clip (which does not appear anywhere, all the audio wells have my added audio clip) disappear, so that I don't have to hear blindingly loud music for 5 second while the DVD boots up the main menu?

YouTube loads black screen for first five seconds

Starting early January 2013 in Firefox, YouTube videos are loaded as blank black screens for the first five seconds. At the 0:06 mark, videos start playing normally. This is not an issue in Chrome or IE. Tested with all plug-ins and add-ons disabled (except Flash player). Plug-ins/add-ons updated. Tried re-installing Firefox with no solution. Help? Thanks!

You can check for problems caused by recent Flash updates and try these:
*disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
*disable protected mode in Flash 11.3 and later
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

GPS EXIF data corrupted for photos taken in portrait orientation

With photos taken in portrait orientation, the GPS data is corrupted for the photos in the modified folder, specifically, the longitude is changed from -83.435516 to 83.435516. Doesn't happen with all photos taken in portrait orientation, and I haven't seen it with any photos taken in landscape orientation and modified. I understand that iPhoto rotates portrait photos and places them in the modified folder when importing. When I look at the originals with Preview, their GPS data is OK, but the photos in the modified folder have incorrect information. Looking at the GPS data from within iPhoto doesn't show a problem, but that's probably because it doesn't refresh the EXIF data.
Anyway, is this happening to anyone else and is there a fix?
I'm concerned because I've spent all this time geocoding these photos, and now I don't know which ones have the correct data, and which ones are messed up.

Larry,
I'll try that, just to be safe. I played with it some more and now I can't reproduce the problem even with auto-rotate on. So, maybe it was fixed with 7.1.4 and I'm still having problems because the photos were imported in a previous version. The release notes only say "addresses minor issues." Hard to tell what that's supposed to mean.
Thanks!

Blackberry 8700 speakerphone for first 5 seconds of call

Hi everyone,
Just recently, after updating my 8700 to the 4.5 OS device software, whenever I answer a call, the calling screen seems to stick for about 5 seconds. During this time the person on the other end is diverted through the speakerphone, it then unsticks and connects the call properly through the ear-speaker as normal. This is incredibly annoying for people calling me, because they hear themselves echo.
Has anyone ever encountered this problem, and if so how would I go about fixing it?
Thanks for any info =)

I have the same issue with my 8800 Edge and can't figure it out. Did you have any luck?

Recover Database is taking more time for first archived redo log file

Hai,
Environment Used :
Hardware : IBM p570 machine with P6 processor Lpar of .5 CPU and 2.5 GB Ram
OS : AIX 5.3 ML 07
Cluster: HACMP 5.4.1.2
Oracle Version: 9.2.0.4 RAC
SAN : DS8100 from IBM
I have used flash copy option to copy the database from production to test machine. Then tried to recover the database to an consistent state using the command "recover automatic database until cancel". System is taking long time and after viewing the alert log it was found that, for the first time, if it is reading all the datafiles and it is taking 3 seconds for each datafile. Since i have more than 500 datafiles, it is nearly taking 25 mins for applying the first archived redo log file. All other log files are applied immeidately without any delay. Any suggession to improve the speed will be highly appreciated.
Regards
Sridhar

After chaning the LPAR settings with 2 CPU and 5GB RAM, the problem solved.

Data Overages for first time with no change in usage. What's up?

I see there are numerous posts about unexplained data overages. I think Verizon is manipulating the data changes somehow. I have always used about 2 gig a month, but had a 4gig plan. Never went over. Then one morning I had a text that I had used 75% of my date. Somewhat surprised, but I drove to work, none of my devices on. When I turned on my phone it said I had used 90% and within minutes said I had exceeded my data. I called Verizon with a lot of questions as how could that have happened. I was not given a response that made any sense but was told they would increase my data plan to 6gig for no additional charge. I agreed. Now at the end of this month the same thing happened. I went over my 6 gig with no changes in my usage. I do not stream music or watch videos, etc. No way I could have used that much. It showed I used 1.6 gig in one day, that's what I used to use for a month. Something is not right. What agency governs cell phone companies. We all need to report this.

It all comes down to those "pre-installed apps" and their updates that just won't stop downloading.
today, I realized that my phone was running kinda slow, so I went into the application manager and started deleting apps, and their updates. It took me a good hour to get all the useless ones out of the way, when I accidentally deleted all my contacts. Since my contacts was really the only thing I cared about, and now they're gone, I decided to go ahead and do the factory reset. Why not? So I started all over again like it was a new galaxy s5. My contacts came back no problem, and so didn't all those useless apps I deleted, so on my way back to the app manager to start deleting them again... I checked my data usage and how many gigs I had just freed for myself... a whole 8.57G out of 16G now freed up! nice right? Yea, then I see that little exclamation point in the top left corner, it said 30 apps have been upgraded, and there was nothing I could do to stop this, I don't want to go through all those apps and updates for a 3rd time. I thought, how much data is that gonna use? Turns out... 2.74Gs in 20 seconds and that was olny just 20apps, out of what 130 apps? That are being updated regularly everyday
Now I'm starting g to make sense of it now... my parents knew we were being had, for awhile now, just didn't know how. We've been talked into getting a 4G family data plan, charged over 900.00$ verizon bill, charged for data overages where we too don't use our phones for anything other than phone calls, or looking up something on the net. No music, no movies, none of that fun stuff. I see that in a matter of 20 seconds our data limit of 3G is just 1/4 away from gone, and that's just, what? 1 or 2 unwanted updates away from another overage charge? So I try to stop these updates by selecting in the Google play settings "do not update apps" but that simply doesn't work. It seems by simply connecting to WI-FI will negate my command.. and the updates keep coming. Only by shutting off both mobile data and WIFI seems to stop the updates... temporarily. It's hard to explain but it looks like verizon is using Google play app updates to max out data, and verizon is charging us for overages 2 and 3 times a month! They manipulate the data to make money, Stealing, and we're not the only ones, you caught them too ^^^. This is criminal, and something does indeed need to be reported to a proper governing body above verizon.
This has been going on in my family unnoticed for years, until now.
Resulting in ridiculous bills, coupled with false overage charges. Causing nothing but heartache and stress for my family, but we still pay... God I don't know why. But we do, and they just keep Taking.
I found out their heartless corporate bullying tactics against the little people, and you did too ^^^ they just keep throwing new "plans" and "6 more gigs" at us.
They sneak these updates right under our noses, blow up our data and threaten us to pay, or else we'll be blackballed from cable/Internet everywhere.
this is nothing else but criminal, rigging the game.
We don't want more gigs, we want our money and out mental health back!

Get the Excel file creatoin Date through For Each Loop each excel file in SSIS

I had For Each Loop
in Collection Path had 2 files it had Creation date of 25/01/2014
So I want Update in Table that date as File_Receive_Date column
How Can I do ??
in variable I am using VFile_FULL_Name(=Filename with Path by attach to Foreach loop collection&connection manager)
which other System Variable to use in SSIS ??
I have created vRef_Date but in Expression =====??? what should I do through only SSIS ??
Thanks
Madhu

The easiest approach is https://filepropertiestask.codeplex.com/ can capture the file creation date, but it is not working for all SSIS versions
I recommend using .net FILE IO libraries to get the created date which needs to be done in a Script Task.
The ForLoop approach will not let you achieve this goal.

I hate to say - DISATISFIED WITH with CUSTOMER CARE RESPONSE and VERIZON in all for first time.

I am currently on National 900 plan on Motorola Droid. I switched from AT&T primarily because I love to use data on mobile. Verizon provided me the unlimited plan. I was a very happy customer with Verizon untill now.
Scenario -
Today, I called up Verizon customer care executive to see why bill for the month was not readjusted. Can anyone believe it its staggering $1137.73 [Roaming charges 1019.19].
Since this January, I am visiting to Canada. On first visit in January, I called up customer care to see what options I do have to use my phone in Canada as I use it in US. Verizon had a wonderful plan - just the monthly data plan is escalated appear. 30-40$ extra than the normal appear. 29.99$ plan. I happily added that plan before visiting Canada. While there is Canada, I did get notification couple of time that I am exceeding data limit but again checked with customer care later - they readjusted the bill as that was 'FALSE ALERT' as I was on unlimited data plan while roaming as well in Canada since I paid the additional prorated of (30-40$) for period of my stay there.
This equation worked for first and second visit - Unlimited Data while I used to get FALSE ALERT.
On my third visit , things changed - Verizon stopped providing the unlimited data services. I called up as usual before this visit. Customer care executive said - you are set to go to Canada now. I was not very specifically told on call that the rules have changed now and there is limit to data usage while roaming. During this visit also, I got the alerts - I assumed this was also a FALSE ALERT like prior one.
But this time, it was not FALSE ALERT, now I charged with this fee. I raised my concern and called up customer care appear. 10 day before [today is March 6th], they assured me that it is going to be re-adjusted ONLY for this time. And, they also asked to check account after 48 hours and if not readjusted please call. But, I checked my account today and it was not readjusted. So, I called up customer care executive for half an hour -- not willing to listen to any logic of mine and he said politely 'SIR, WE CANNOT READJUST YOUR BILL' . I am still trying to figure out where is my fault when I was not told DATA PLAN HAS CHANGED FROM THIS VISIT.
I hope senior management will look into this matter and re-adjust current bill. It's due this March 10th. I would appreciate any positive response prior to this so that I can pay the bill and BE A HAPPY VERIZON CUSTOMER.
Sincerely,
Manoj K. [removed personal information]

I called them back yesterday night, not willing to listen my story. Sir we sent you SMS notifications. But these notifications, I also got when I had unlimited plans on first and second visit. Then customer care told SIR you don't need to worry - but this time I should have been very specifically told rules are changed before changing my plans which I wasn't. I was under impression that I am on same unlimited plans.
A job not well done in COMMUNICATING TO CUSTOMERS and using that an opportunity to OVERCHARGE $1100 - INSANE for one month bill. None of my fault. SMS notification is no communication as earlier SMS noitification were false positive and bills were adjusted as I was on unlimited data plan.
Now you change the rules and send SMS Notification; RULE CHANGE, one is not aware of.. ANY NORMAL person will treat SMS notification as FALSE ALERT.. isn't it??

IPhone 5 calendar problem I need to schedule meetings monthly first Monday, second Tuesday...

IPhone 5 will not allow me to schedule meetings for first Monday, second Tuesday. Schedules future meeting the same date each month. Suggestions?

The only way to do that is to make the schedule on iCal or Outlook, which do provide for that type of scheduling and sync it to the phone.

Do you have a good handle on Copy Data?

How about a better question such as assuming you know what copy data is, do you have a handle on it?
Otoh how about an even better better question such as do you know what copy data is?
To all those who don't know what copy data is, ask what's copy data ;)

Avoid multiple start of VM on different servers ? (data corruption)

Hello,
we are using OracleVM without manager.
Setup: 2 servers connected to one SAN device. The SAN device is connected with 2 FC links, handles by device mapper multipath. The file system /OVS is located on OCFS2 filesystem which is located in SAN. Both nodes have /OVS mounted to make live migration possible.
When testing this setup, we found that it is possible to start VM1 on both servers at the same time. This IS GOING TO lead to data corruption for sure.
Is there a way to avoid that is is possible to start the same VM on multiple servers at the same time ? Any hints ?
Regards,
Robert

I was investigating this issue some more and found the very useful DLMFS coming with OCFS2 (see http://oss.oracle.com/projects/ocfs2/src/branches/ocfs2-1.2/dlmfs.txt)
I played around with it and found the following:
1) The O_NONBLOCK operating mentioned is not working (open always fails)
2) Locks are cleared if a machine leaves the cluster (disconnected or failes)
3) open call waits until a log is cleared
So I was thinking about the following solution:
Write a wrapper for "xm" that calls "xm.orig". This wrapper creates a daemon process along with the virtual machine that holds a lock file /dlm/xen/MachineName open as long as the machine is running. When you shutdown the virtual machine, this daemon is ending and the lock is released now the machine can be started on a another machine and this machine is locking again.
The problem is a crashing machine. If a machine crashes, the lock is not cleared because the deamon is still running.
Is there a way to get notified of a crashing machine in OracleVM or is there some way to "hook" into the "oncrash" routines of Xen ?
