Changing background picture every 5 seconds.....having issues

When I switch the background picture to change every 5 seconds my computer either freezes, runs slow, doesn't work normal (if I open another application it won't be functional). I have 1gb of ram (came with the computer) so I'm not sure if this is where the problem stems from.
If I set it to change the picture ever minute then I don't have any problems.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Although unlimited it is limited to 300Gb download+upload.
Is it at all possible that you have maxed out your download cap. You therefore will have reduced speed during peak times.
Does not explaine your speedtest results out side of that.
You have checked all your equipment and tested on the your test socket and changed filters etc.
If all of this is done and it's still the same, sadly a call to support will need to be made so they can investigate further.

  • Change Desktop picture every 5 seconds?

    What is the opinion of the learned on setting the desktop picture in "Desktop and Screensaver" System Prefs to change the picture every 5 seconds? Is this a bad idea, and if so why? I cannot find anything from Apple that discourages doing it and obviously they make it available for the user to set the Pref such that you can do it. TIA

    I suppose, but it does not decrease the performance that I can tell. I am sure it would if I were to measure it. That System Preference is stock with that computer (Panther 10.3.9).

  • Changing desktop picture every 1 second instead of 5

    Hi All,
    I'm opening a retail store and we're using 30 inch cinema displays for our menu boards. I'd like to use OS X's built-in "change desktop picture" to display our image, but would like it to change images every 1 second instead of 5.
    Is there a way to modify the OS to do this?
    Thanks,
    - Mike

    Install either the Developer Tools or download the Server Admin Tools onto your computer; in either case, find and open the Property List Editor, and open the file named com.apple.desktop.plist in your home folder with it. Inside this file, there will be two or more instances of ChangeTime; change the number associated with all instances of this key to 1.

  • Taking pictures every 2 seconds

    Bought this camera thinking the software would allow me to take pictures every 2-5 seconds but I dont see that it will do this....help
    I very much need to be able to take pictures every 2 seconds. Thought this was kinda a standard feature.
    Thanks

    Sounds like the hard drive is failing fast and will need to be replaced. If you are still in warranty HP will send a replacement. If not a retail laptop SATA hard drive can be used. Just be sure to get one of at least equal capacity as the original in order to use Recovery Discs to install Windows & programs. It can be larger, but not smaller capacity.For instance if you have a 500GB hdd you could use a 750GB hdd but not a 320GB hdd.
    If you haven't made your Recovery Discs yet try to get them made soon. If you can't you will need to call HP to order a set.

  • How can I stop my camera from taking pictures every 15 seconds?

    I am so frustrated!  I have a Droid X which has worked well for about a year.  Just today It has just gone crazy taking pictures.  One picture after another.  Every fifteen seconds or so, regardless of what I am trying to do---work on the internet, dial my phone, etc.  I can barely shut down.  I've taken out the card and the battery and have tried to change any camera and general settings that I can find.  Do you have any idea how I can get my Droid to stop?  Any suggestions at all would be appreciated.  THANKS.

    You can't. What kind of USB device is that ?

  • Preloader that changes external swfs every 5 seconds

    HI,
    I've done an web banner in flash that loads an external swf
    and changes for another external swf after 5 seconds. The banner
    have a preloader, but the problem becomes when it loads the first
    time. As the swfs aren't cached in the browser's cache yet, the
    time for 5 seconds starts to count from the preloader, and when the
    external swf finally shows, only rest 1 second and it is changed to
    another. There is a way to "freeze" the time for each external swf
    until it totally loads?
    The code that loads the swfs every 5 seconds (this code is
    placed into an action layer):
    begin of code:
    var intervalId:Number;
    var count:Number = 0;
    var maxCount:Number = 23;
    var duration:Number = 0;
    var banners:Array = new Array(
    "abatrade.swf",
    "bancobrasil.swf",
    "caparao.swf",
    "cedro.swf",
    "cesama.swf",
    "copasa.swf",
    "damatta.swf",
    "emtel.swf",
    "engedrain.swf",
    "extel.swf",
    "feedback.swf",
    "iti.swf",
    "intermedium.swf",
    "magnesita.swf",
    "maquenge.swf",
    "maxxdata.swf",
    "orteng.swf",
    "paiva.swf",
    "paraibuna.swf",
    "paraopeba.swf",
    "sabesp.swf",
    "serpro.swf",
    "soll.swf",
    "thawte.swf"
    function executeCallback(param:String) {
    var duration:Number = 5000;
    loadMovie(banners[count],loadmovie_mc);
    loadmovie_mc._x=0;
    loadmovie_mc._y=0;
    clearInterval(intervalId);
    if(count < maxCount) {
    count++ ;
    intervalId = setInterval(this, "executeCallback", duration,
    banners[count]);
    else {
    count=0;
    intervalId = setInterval(this, "executeCallback", duration,
    banners[count]);
    if(intervalId != null) {
    clearInterval(intervalId);
    intervalId = setInterval(this, "executeCallback", duration,
    banners[count]);
    //end of code
    And the code for the preloader (this code I place into the
    movieclip that loads the external swfs):
    //begin of code:
    onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
    var gtT:Number = this.getBytesTotal();
    var gtL:Number = this.getBytesLoaded();
    var gtP:Number = int((gtL/gtT)*100);
    if ( gtT > gtL ) {
    this._alpha = 0;
    _root.loader._alpha = 100;
    _root.loader.bar._width = gtP;
    clearInterval(intervalId);
    } else {
    this._alpha = 100;
    _root.loader._alpha = 0;
    intervalId = setInterval(this, "executeCallback", duration,
    banners[count]);
    delete onEnterFrame;
    //end of code
    Note that I tryed to freeze the time using a clearInterval in
    the second code, but it simply don't works...
    Any Ideas? Thanks
    Edson

    http://www.maxxdata.com.br/banners.zip
    Open the fla and preview the file with bandwidth preview (
    Crtl+Enter twice ). You will note that the third banner
    (caparao.swf) start to loads but it don't shows at all because the
    loading for a slow internet (56K) takes more than 5 seconds. So the
    loader skip to the next banner. Is there a way to "freeze" the time
    for the preloader (to give it enough time to the banner load
    completely, even in slow connections) and count the 5 seconds only
    to the banner itself?
    Thanks.

  • Laptop 'hanging' when trying to change background picture

    Hi
    I've tried to change the background picture under system preferences - desktop/screensavers. When I tried to select a picture from my iphoto-folders the system hung and won't come back at all until I shot it down with the on/off button. I wasn't even able to do a forced quit...
    Did somebody encounter this as well?
    It actually worked fine again after a restart, but still I think this a strange behaviour.
    Mac Book Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    If I can jump in here, Jason is asking about background applications of which there are several always running. You can check this by opening Activity Monitor (in Applications> Utilities).
    Changing pictures is affected by a number of other applications, including (oddly) the Dock.
    When you selected the picture, was it in one of the Original or Modified folders? Try copying the picture and moving it to a separate folder in the Pictures folder and selecting it again.

  • Display portions of text which changes to another every few seconds...

    Hi
    I'd like to display portions of text which cycles to the next
    one every few
    seconds.
    I've found a perfect example of what I'm after here...
    http://www.profitpath.ca/sites/S1/index.php?p=4
    On the top right of the page is an area showing client
    testimonials which
    changes approx every 5 seconds.
    It appears to fade out and then fade in the next. Is that so
    or is it just
    an optical illusion?
    I'd be grateful if anyone could point me in the right
    direction on how to
    achieve this and/or where I can find a script?
    Thanks very much for any info and your time.
    Ian

  • Change background picture @ login

    Is there some way I can change that background picture at the Login Screen? ie. i want to change the purplish login picture to some other picture. Does anyone know how to do that?

    I suggest you use this method

    it does not involve changing any system files.

  • Changing background pictures of control or Xcontrol

    I need to create a control based on a solidworks drawing of a throttle lever. I was able to create 200 individual .jpegs of the throttle lever; one for each position I want it in, but am not sure how to change the picture based on the position of the hidden Labview slide control. I planned to hide a slide control on top of the handle for the throttle lever, and then change which of the two hundred pictures are loaded based on the position of the slide control. I have been trying to figure out how to do it with an Xcontrol, but have never used one before and am sorta stumped? I have not been able to find an example, but seem to remember reading about people doing similar things with the Xcontrol?  

    For the displaying of the different images you could us my Boolean XControl.
    Using a hidden slider will not work.
    A better thing would be a picture control and use Mouse Down and Mouse Move events to determine which image to load into the picture control.

  • How to change background picture behind toolbar

    when i first started Firefox 3.6.12 I was given the choice of a few background designs behind the toolbar. I chose a xmas design;

  • IPhoto pictures does not show up when trying to change desktop pictures

    When I got my new MBP I used a Time Machine back up to restore my system. This has worked great, though so far there is one little issue:
    When I right click my desktop and choose "Change background picture" my iPhoto images doesn't show up in the menu like they used to.
    Has anyone got any idea about how to get them back in there? Do I somehow have to "let Leopard know" that I have an iPhoto library that I would like to be able to choose from?
    Thanks!

    HI Rune,
    That is most likely a shared library issue. The Finder is trying to access your iPhoto library without iPhoto being open. Sometimes when libraries are shared, they can become corrupt.
    Go here and read about shared library issues.
    http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/sharedlibraryerrors.html#Anchor-Resolving-35326
    The easiest way to fix this is to back up your important data and do an Archive and Install which restores your system software. It does NOT erase the drive, you do not have to reinstall any Apple pre-installed software, ie., iLife applications.
    Go here and read the instructions for archive and install.

  • Ipod nano 7th generation having issues with the UI. Out of box everything worked great. Once I snyc the device and it finished, the UI becomes unuesable. You have to double tap every icon in order to open music, videos, etc.  I cannot swipe to the second

    ipod nano 7th generation having issues with the UI. Out of box everything worked great. Once I snyc the device and it finished, the UI becomes unuesable. You have to double tap every icon in order to open music, videos, etc.  I cannot swipe to the second page of icons,  black box appears around an icon and then switches to a different one anytime I swipe. A box even appears around the time and battery power. iPod & iTunes are both updated. What is the FIX on this issue?

    I had this problem as well.  This is what I found by searching online.  I tried the fix on my nano 7th gen and it worked.  I hope this helps you.  Make sure to use two fingers for sliding and double-click the icons to get into settings.  Good luck.
    It would seem that Voiceover has been enabled on your iPod Nano. The following article contains information regarding Voiceover, and how to disable it once it's been enabled.
    iPod nano (6th generation and later): How to use VoiceOver
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4317
    To turn off VoiceOver on iPod nano using VoiceOver gestures
    From the Home Screen, swipe right or left with two fingers until you see or hear "Page 2 of 2" on iPod nano (7th generation) or "Settings" on iPod (6th generation).
    If the icons have been rearranged, or if there are more than four Home screens, you may hear something different.
    Slide one finger around the screen until you hear Settings. 
    Double-tap to open Settings. 
    Slide your finger up or down the screen until you see or hear General, then double- tap. 
    Slide your finger up or down the screen until you see or hear Accessibility, then double-tap. 
    Slide your finger up or down the screen until you see or hear VoiceOver, then double-tap. 
    Double-tap when you hear "VoiceOver switch button on." 
    You'll hear "VoiceOver off" to confirm the setting. Now you can use standard gestures to control iPod nano.
    Note: You can also turn off VoiceOver by resetting your iPod.

  • Change background every N minutes broken?

    i'm running 10.5.3 on a 2.4GHz blackbook... i have my desktop background set to change every 5 minutes from a folder of about 375 pictures. it's changing the picture *at least* once a minute though, not 5 as i have set. i've updated the setting several times too. buggy?

    Before deleting the plist, try running this command on it:
    plutil -lint ~/username/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
    I'm curious to see if this "plist check" routine will help solve many plist errors folks are having.
    ("username" is the name of your home directory -- your account's "short" name)
