Combine Files stalled out at 3200+ out of 3500

Hi:
Last night tried combining files in a directory tree with about 3500 document files of various types. Stalled at around 3200 after about 12 hours. Bumped task priority to real time, still no movement. GUI very slow to respond -- 1 to 3 minutes.
Also, could not find the file it was accumulating the files to. Isn't it supposed to be package?.pdf or something like that?
Lost it all with a power outage a couple of hours ago. Any suggestions as to what might be happening here?

Acrobat probably run out of memory or encountered a corrupted file. You should batch it and do 1000 files each time. Save after each batch, of course.

Combining files to create a PDF - stalls, then doesn't work

My organization has just pushed out Office 2013, and one person has had trouble when she combines files to create a pdf. At first, it seems like the process works, but when it comes to the "Merging Files" stage, it hangs up - it doesn't even finish converting the first file. It stays like this for a very long time, then a small pop-up comes up and says "Acrobat failed to send a DDE command."
The reason I bring up Office 2013 is because before we pushed it out, it worked just fine with either the 2010 and 2007, and now I'm wondering if this problem is occurring because of our recent 2013 installations.

suicot,
Did you ever find a solution to this problem? I have the same issues. I can get maybe 3 files (word/excel) to start (slowly) converting then the the stall happens. Also, Acrobat opens the word / excel application each time it attempts to convert a file, then word/excel freezes and I have to force a close. What a mess! (Windows 8.1 / Acrobat X Pro)

Is there a way to force a file sharing user to log out?

I have a problem: I've got a few more Macs in my office that need to connect to my computer from time to time via file sharing than OS X Snow Leopard wants to allow. I know Apple wants me to use OS X Server but I don't want to lose the simplicity of my normal workflow. Part of the problem is that users are not logged out unless they manually close the file share, which means that, say, a laptop that's asleep will still be taking up one "file sharing user slow" even though it's not needed. I can see who is logged in via the command
set theUsers to do shell script "netstat -na | awk '/.548/ {print $5}'"
but want I need to know is, is there any way to force, say, user 192.168.1.8.50244 off of my file share without stopping and restarting file sharing, which logs everyone out (and breaks some of my scripts on other computers.
Any help would be appreciated.

You could start with this hint and go from there...

File Type Association is grayed out

For some reason when I create RemoteApp program file type associations are grayed out even though uTorrent is associated with files on operating system level. Why entire list is grayed out?

One thing that may not be clear from that blog post: when we calculate the list of file type associations that are available to be published, we must only look at what will be available to all users on the endpoint. In Windows, an app can be associated with
a file type at the per-user level, or the per-machine level (from a technical point of view, the registry keys that tell Windows about the file type association can exist in either HKCU or HKLM). Since we must look at associations that will be available to
all users, we cannot look at the associations only for specific users in HKCU and other per-user registry hives; we can only look at the file type associations in HKLM. Unfortunately, when you use the Windows UI to associate an app with a file
type, you are only modifying the per-user associations - so that will have no effect on what you can publish for a RemoteApp program.
Most app installers will give an option to write their file type associations at a per-machine level - but if they don't, you may have to manually move the associations in the registry from HKCU to HKLM.
Hope that helps,

Try using a different browser. If it works, then the problem is most likely Safari. If the other browser doesn't work, perhaps it is the web site.

Getting the error "Adobe Send cannot currently send this file" how can I find out why?

Hey James,
Please let me know what kind of file are you trying to send using 'Adobe Send' online service.
Does this happen with every file you try to send or any specific one?
Have you tried using a different browser? What happens? Check with your internet connection speed as well.
Hope to hear from you.

Spooling to Text File - 30 million records - Getting Out of Memory Error

Hi All,
I have an extremely large oracle table that I need to spool to a .txt file. The table has approximately 30 million records. I'm using Toad For Oracle version 10.5 and I'm on Oracle 10g. I've tried running the following spool command a few times and it keeps crashing...I'm getting a "Out of Memory" error in my Toad window when I execute it as a script. Here's the code:
Spool on
set heading off
SET PAGESIZE 0
SET TRIMSPOOL ON
SET LINESIZE 100
set feedback off
set echo off
set termout off
Spool "C:\spooledtext.txt"
select
column1
from test_table
order by
column2,
column1
Spool off;
An ideas as to how I can get this query to spool to a text file without crashing and running out of memory?
Thanks

use sqlplus.
Or select smaller chunks and use copy to concat them afterwards.

Safari on iPads has no facility to upload files to web sites. You need to use an app made specific for that site or use a computer.

Can i recover photo files lost when i wiped out my hard-drive and reinstalled mac os x?

Can i recover photo files lost when i wiped out my hard-drive and reinstalled mac os x? I know that when a computer is wiped cleaned that the info is still on the hard drive, how do I access it? Can I pay someone to access it? Long story short, everything was saved to my external hard drive except my photos, by mistake of course.

You have to stop using the drive immediately. Completely stop. Do not boot the computer from the drive.
File recovery software: Try using an application such as Data Rescue 3 - http://www.prosofteng.com/products/data_rescue.php or FileSalvage - http://subrosasoft.com, or one of the ones listed in the (old) link below. Some have free trial versions that let you see if the software will help before you decide to buy. You will also need a second hard drive equal to or larger in size than your first drive as a destination drive for recovered files.

It is critical that you do not use the computer or even turn it on until you have rescued your files. Files only have the directory reference to them removed when you empty the trash or otherwise delete them from a computer (unless you use secure erase, in which case they are gone forever or can only be potentially be recovered by very expensive means) and are still present on the computer. However, their space is marked as available to any other file creation done on the computer (even done by you booting the computer) and there is risk that your files will be overwritten by the computer.
Even if the above works, do not expect the results to be pretty or even 100% successful. Files will often lose their names and you will have to re-name them one by one.

Combined optical digital audio output/headphone out

What is the "combined optical digital audio output/headphone out"? This is what the output is called that has the earphone picture beside it on my MacBook. I thought this meant that it could take the mini jack out that splits into a/v - yellow, white, red, and plug it into any tv or monitor that has those inputs. I tried it just now, but a no go.
If the only way to get video is through the mini DVI output what does the "Combined optical digital audio output/headphone out" mean? If I can get video out of it, how can I do it?
Thanks!

Hi Trevor Deck: As you have discovered this does not output as a video signal. That jack is strictly for audio. The "optical" portion of it is used to output using a "Toslink" cable to provide "optical audio" to an external amplifier. The DVI port needs to be used to get a video signal to your TV. But be warned if you use the red, white, & yellow method of hooking up the video signal you will probably be disappointed. If your TV has a HDMI or PC input it would be much better. You would then have to get the proper DVI to whatever type adapter.
Good Luck

Acrobat XI Pro combine files window not visible

So I was trying to combine files into one pdf this morning, but Acrobat's window for doing so would not appear. I could minimize it, and see it down on the bottom of my dock, but when I tried to maximize it, it would disappear. (I'm on a Mac). Everything else on the app was working perfectly. I:
-checked all preferences
-tried to re-arrange window configurations
-made sure my 2nd monitor was up as it might have been last time I used the program
-opened pdfs and then tried to combine them
-quit and re-opened the application several times
-tried again to access the 'combine' window from every angle I could
-rebooted, then went through it all again
-went to adobe to check for updates. Application manager says Acrobat XI is up to date. Won't let me do anything.
So, I decided to uninstall it so I could start fresh and re-install. Uninstalled, went back to the Cloud. App manager says Acrobat XI is up to date, and still won't let me download or anything else.
Rebooted. Went back to the Cloud. Same thing again.
I would very much like to be able to use this app. I have things to do...

I figured out how to recreate the preferences and it fixed the problem. Here is how I did it:
Quit Acrobat
In Finder hold down "option" and open the "Go" menu. Pick "Library"
Open "Preferences" folder
Drag "com.adobe.Acrobat.Pro.plist" to your desk top
Reopen Acrobat and try to merge 2 files
If it works you have solved your problem. Acrobat will replace the missing file with the default.
If it doesn't work you can drag the original folder back into "preferences" and keep trying to figure out what was wrong.
Part of the answer was in the Acrobat workspace instruction.
