So VirtualBox is using 173% of my CPU time (how is this possible?), but I see only 1% or 2% on each logical CPU. My CPU is an "i3-3240 CPU @ 3.40GHz" (2 physical cores, 4 logical cores) and the kernel is 3.19.3-3-ARCH (latest official Archlinux kernel). How is this possible? What's happening here? Is it a bug or do I completely misunderstand what these stats mean?

Top does add up your multicore usage. So if a process is using two cores at 100% it is using 200%.
However something does not add up in correctly in your case.
I've found top to be kind of unreliable in multicore (especially with hyper threading) systems.

How can I restore a single image from an aperture time machine backup, do I have to restore the entire library? that does not make sense

I hope there has been found a more efficiant solution for this, how can I restore a single image from an aperture time machine backup, I really hope I don't have to restore the entire library? that does not make sense
any suggestions?

Did you try browsing your backups in the Finder ? That is, do not go and "Enter Time Machine". Instead, navigate to your Time Machine backup via Finder and then manually go to the time period (by folder name) you are looking for ... when you find your Aperture library you can then "Show Package Contents" and find the Master you are looking for.

My ipod 5 wont connect to wifi, all the other devices in the house will does not make sense

Ipod 5 wont conect to wifi in my house when other devices do. does not make sense, went to apple store connected no problem there. Funny thing is it has worked since christmas now all the sudden i have problems, any ideas?

Does the iPod connect to other networks?
Does the iPod see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iPod connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

By default in BPC values are sum in node level, It does not make sense to sum averages on parent nodes.

HI Guys
we have an business requirement to store data in average figures ,
The values are entered on the base member level but in reports we need to show average values on the parents level instead of sum
( by default in BPC values are sum in node level),it does not make sense to sum averages on parent nodes.
we managed it with excel formulas ,but we r facing the problem with dimensions which are in context.
(i tried using dim memeber formulas but AVG key word is not accepting the system in member formulas)
at last by using formula we managed the report but im worried abt that if there is no formulas ,how we will manage
pls suggest any solution to show average values on the node level in specific reports

Hi Krao,
Please define what do you mean by average - arithmetic average or weighted average (has more business sense to my mind).
Also, please provide some samples, explaining dimensions used in average calculation.
In our case we use dimension member formulas to show average prices, discounts etc. in the reports.

Buket probably thinks that how there is a "getInt" method in JDBC there must be magically a "getInt "method in javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest - it's called "doing things by analogy" (with a variant: "doing things because someone told me") and sometimes it even works!
There are "getInt" methods for the following classes in the JDK: java.lang.reflect.Array, java.lang.reflect.Field, java.sql.CallableStatement, java.sql.ResultSet, javax.jms.MapMessage, javax.swing.UIDefaults, javax.swing.UIManager - but unfortunately no getInt in such class (only a getIntHeader, that is not what the OP needs).

Does not make sense in evaluating data using isnull(Command.name)

Hi,
Environment:
Os - Windows 7
Crystal report developed in CR2008 - .rpt developed and running successfully here with the same formula.
VS2010
CRforVS2010
Does not make sense in evaluating data using isnull(Command.name) function when the report is integrated into VS2010 using Crystal report for VS2010 (13.0.2).
But the same report is running in crystal report 2008 (12.3.0.601) report Dev environment when previewed.
Please reply me ASAP.

Thank you and are you using the MS SQL Native 10 drivers.

Can you copy the SQL in and use the PUBS sample database? Or import the xtreme.mdb and use one those tables. You can get it from our sample reports:

HT2736 I do not understand why the simplest of tasks do not appear next to each other in a list of links. You would think tht "Reedem" an item would be right next to "Gift" an item, burt for some reason that just does not make sense to Apple.

I never did find the "Gift Certificate" link even thoug support said where it "should" be, and "No" Nowhere near where you would reedem them.

Double tap the column to make it size to fit. It will make it fit the width but not make the font larger by putting less word on a line.
Hard to make corrections as it is hit or miss to get in between letters in a word.
Tap and hold to get the magnifying glass or better still get the iPad User Guide which is free in iBooks - it has pictures and will save me having to type so many words to try and answer your questions
Is there no way to scroll up or down deleting as you go...so far all I can do is delete one word/line at a time, ie in forwarding e-mail and trying to get rid of the long list of other people's contacts.
Yes, I'm replying to this on my iPad - again, much better described in the User Guide.
Thank you
You're welcome. But please do have a look at the iPad User Guide - it will make things clearer and you may even find something new that you didn't already know.

When Firefox is launched, my system tray is disabled(masked by some kind of gray mist), then I can only acitvate the date and time properties by double-click, any left click does not make sense. Did anybody encounter this situation?

I can not activate the minimized window task manager, even when I end the procedure of taskmgr.exe, its minimized icon is still there in the gray masked system tray.

When I set up Contacts on iCloud, Contacts on my Mac consumes about 100% of a CPU, per Activity Monitor. Does that make sense?

I don't think this should be happening, but I haven't been able to find any reference to such a situation in Apple Support or on Forums.

I'm trying to do this. I unchecked Contacts, restarted my Mac and lo and behold, Contacts was rechecked! I unchecked it and checked Activity Monitor. By the time I returned to System Preferences, Contacts was rechecked. This happened 3 times. Now it has remained rechecked, AddressBookSourceSync is consuming over 90% of a CPU (mostly over 95%). I'm letting it go for about half an hour. I'm debating whether to let it go and see if it settles down (no evidence that it will). CPU time is over 30 minutes now. I think I'm going to quit (or Force Quit) AddressBookSourceSync, follow the suggested steps and see what happens.

HT201150 the new behavior of Mavericks power button does not make sense

It should go NOT to sleep when the power button is pressed...if people wants it to go to sleep just close the lid!
Instead, when the button is pressed, the dialogue box should show up asking people what to do.

2GB limit on Outlook PST file -- does not make sense

I had run into the 2GB file size limit for PST files that were created some time ago.
I am currently running Outlook 2010 32-bit (though I do have a 64 bit OS and could re-install the 64 bit of 2010 if necessary).
When I received the 2GB file limit notification, I first tried all the suggested registry changes. That did not help.
Based on input from my IT guru, I created a new PST file from Outlook 2010, and imported all of my old data from the old PST file.
Somehow I still have the 2GB limit. My current workaround is to go through the sent items folder and delete larger items to keep below the 2GB limit
Yet it seems that I should not be having to do this at this point.
Any suggestions?

Microsoft would tell you that their Outlook 2010 .SPT file size limit is 20-50 gig, and if you reach sizes of this level to break your .PST into multiples.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/982577.
Personally and professionally, I have seen many many problems for users when they have .PST's in excess of 2 gig, and often result in losing mail and such items. With respect to Robert,
he's correct that the 2010 Unicode format will support much larger files sizes, but again, you would be better off (and safer) to break your .PST down to smaller groups of them, and also enjoy a faster Outlook experience.
There also may be an organization limit to .PST file size imposed upon users by your Administration group, so you might wish to query them as well.

I tried to open illustrator it said: subsystem fail catastrophically and I must reinstall or call customer support. So when I reinstalled it says: I can only install one Adobe product at a time. I am not installing anything else. It does not make sence.

Hi Gasbarro,
When trying to reinstall using the Cleaner Tool Jacob suggested, can you take a note of the location?

Hello,
I'm a customer that wanted to bring to your attention the lack of customer service I've received from the Best Buy store at your Tri-County location, here in Ohio. On the 14th of November, I walked in the store to buy an open box electric stove that was advertised on your website. Your website clearly stated that one was in stock at the Tri-County location. I called the store and spoke to a representative prior to my arrival at the store to confirm that this information was accurate and the rep simply told me yes it was, if it says it one the website then to go off of that.
So I went to the store to purchase the stove and was unable to find it. I had several associates help me look for it and nobody could find it and the managers determined that it wasn't in stock. Since it was a Best Buy mistake, the manager offered to give me the new version of the stove for the same price, which saved me a little money. As I'm patiently waiting for the final word from one of the managers, I start looking around for other things I may possibly want to buy and I come across an open box french door refrigerator, so I decide to purchase that as well. Nothing was wrong with it, except for a couple scratches. Keep in mind that this is nearly a couple weeks before thanksgiving, where I had nearly 30 attendants. I just bought a dishwasher and microwave from lowes and wanted to have my complete appliance set on display just in time for Thanksgiving.
When the items arrived at my home, a couple days before Thanksgiving, I was relieved that I received them on time. For the most part, the delivery crew was acceptable, except for the fact that they broke a light switch on the wall as they were trying to move the refrigerator in it's place. They told me about it and I told them that that was okay and that I was just happy that I received my appliances. As anyone else would do, I waited for the fridge to get cold before I put the food back in and when it came time to do so, I noticed that the middle flap between both french doors was broke. It's a bit deceiving because if you just look at it you can't really tell, but after opening and closing it a couple times, you could easily tell that it was broken. So I called Best Buy that same day and told them of the problem. I asked them if they had that part at the store, so I could just come in and get the replacement. Note, that on the appliance defect report this was not listed, so I'm assuming it was damaged during delivery or was overlooked. I mentioned this to the manager. He said, that the item had to be special ordered, so as disappointed as I was that my fridge would not be fully operational for thanksgiving, I said it was okay and he told me that he would call me once it came in. To give you a better idea of what my family is experiencing, we don't use the left door on the fridge.
2 weeks go by and I still haven't received a call, so I decide to call and check in for an update. An associate tells me that the item just came in yesterday and that he would call me back in a few minutes to schedule a repair. I don't receive a call that day, so I call best buy back a few days later. Again, I speak to the same associate and he tells me that the item never came in and that the manager was just going to give me a new fridge instead. So I call your corporate office and speak with an associate and he says that he will get to the bottom of it and help me set up the delivery.
Well on the day of the delivery, which was a Saturday, I was told that it would be dropped off sometime between 3 and 5 in the evening, or something in that timeframe. What do I do? I empty out my fridge and clear a path for the delivery personnel. It being a Saturday, I had plans and I haven't received a call from anybody. So around half past 5, I start putting the items back in the fridge, as well as move the furniture back in place. Keep in mind, this is no easy task. I have a 4 bedroom home and a family of 5, so yes, I have a lot of furniture and a fully stocked fridge. This probably took at least 2 hours to get everything cleared and to put it back in place when I found out they were not showing up.
I then get a call at 15 till 6 from the delivery crew telling me that they were on there way. Surprised and irate that they are now calling me, I have to refuse the delivery because we we didn't have time to wait around since we already had plans for the night. I get another call from a Best Buy associate trying to reschedule and I told them that I've had enough of their dealings and that I would let corporate handle it and through corporate I would see that a proper delivery would then be scheduled.
Well this morning I saw on my phone that I have several missed calls, as early as 6 in the morning from Best Buy delivery stating that I am suppose to recieve my fridge in the morning and I was there 2nd stop. I call the guy and tell him that I was unaware of the delivery and that I would give you guys a call today to schedule the appointment. I intend to call you after I send this email regarding that.
So in all, I've probably been on the phone with Best Buy personnel at least 10 times and several hours. I spoke to several associates, including 3 different managers, 3 different delivery crews, and a rep from your corporate office once. I think it's safe to say that this has been a total nightmare and saving a couple hundred dollars does not make up for it. I wanted to reach out to you because as an educated consumer, who also happens to be an elite Best Buy member, I can firmly say that because of this "Nightmare" I will not be buying any more appliances from your store and you would be lucky if I bought anything else from the store. You do have some pretty good deals on games and movies though, so I may continue to do that.
Please take this information and utilize it accordingly, obviously, this is not how business should be ran and I know this isn't the first time something like this has happened. The exact same thing happend to my friend a few years back from a different store.

Hello penningtonj,
While it's great to hear that you seem to have received new inbox units at open box prices due to your experiences, it certainly sounds like the delivery portion of the experience could have been vastly better for you.
I'm glad to hear that the oven is working well for you, and I'm truly sorry to hear of the difficulties you've experienced with the open box refrigerator. Our open box items should be thoroughly inspected and marked accordingly for its condition or any missing parts or accessories. It is disheartening to hear that a damaged part may have gone unnoticed. With that said, it's awesome that the store has offered to replace it.
We strive to ensure our deliveries are seamless and hassle-free. Given you have a sizable family, I know emptying a refrigerator is no easy task, as I grew up in family of a similar size, and should the refrigerator have to be emptied for any reason, it was a bit chaotic! It is regrettable to hear that the delivery team was late, and that they failed to contact you sooner to let you know of their delay. Furthermore, it is strange that you may not have been aware of (and thus completely unprepared for) the rescheduled delivery. I can understand how this would be concerning, and further aggravating.
I sincerely apologize for the continued hassle you've experienced with purchasing these appliances. With that said, it appears that you are currently scheduled for delivery on 1/28/15. You should receive a phone call the night before to provide you with a time frame of when to expect them. If you should have any questions or concerns, please feel welcome to reach out to me!
Respectfully,

Lightroom does NOT make use of new/fast hardwares!

For those who are considering a new computer here's my experience....
Lightroom 4 does NOT make full use of new/fast CPUs / SSDs!
I’ve been frustrated with Lightroom speed since launch and held on to my “old” Xeon work station for two years…. I recently invested in the latest Intel CPU and IO technology and I'm very disappointed how Lightroom 4 does not make use of it. It's most noticeably sluggish from one photo to the next during editing. This may seem small but when I edits hundreds of images everyday it really slow me down.
See my system specs at very bottom of this post. I don't think there's a bottle neck in performance! I love my new setup and it's a pleasure to use the OS. BUT I'm so disapointed everytime I load up Lightroom. (My typical Lightroom edits are 600-900 sRAW images - I edit down my photos in Photo Mechanic 5! It's just too slow in Lightroom)
Lightroom still take time to load each image when advance from one image to the next (During editing). Isn’t smart enough to cache 100 images in advance let say. (1:1 previews as been created!)
Won’t make use of more than 8GB ram. No matter how big the RAW working set is.
Very slow switching from one working module to another
Lightroom Jpeg export won’t make use of more than 25% of new Intel Xeon E5 series dual processors processing power 12 cores. 6-9 cores are literally taking a nap during export!
I’ve tried everything found in Adobe suggestion link below:
http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/optimize-performance-lightroom.html
* I definately tried 1:1 render preview and all of the other jazz found in link directly above!
* Running all latest firmwares and updates
I hope the next version of Lightroom will actually make use of good hardware instead of adding on more features. We desperately need a snappy/responsive Lightroom for sake of productivity! I'm not here to put down Adobe. I'm a big fan of Adobe and Intel and have been using them for 15 years.
My Setup:
Dell Workstation T7600
Dual Xeon E5-2630 2.5GHz (12 Cores Total)
64GB 1600Mhz RAM
OCZ RevoDrive 3X2 - 1500MB/s (Boot / Camera Raw Cache)
4 Intel 520 Series SSD in RAID0 with dedicated 1GB Cache SAS/SATA PCIe 3.0 controller (Working RAW files)
Nvidia GTX680 - 4GB VRAM (I know this made for 3D but it has PCIe 3.0 connectivity - Quadro 4000 PCIe 2.0 wasn't any better)
Drobo-S 2GBx5 (Strictly Storage)
Windows 7 Ultimate (Bare minimum! Just Adobe CS6 suite and Microsoft Office 2010)

Can you copy this to the Feature Request forum so we can vote on it please? http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family And then post the link here so we can find it. It'll get my vote.
There are a couple of others you might like to vote on too, such as using the embedded preview for editing down. http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/lightroom_capability_to_display_embe dded_preview
In terms of workarounds for now, if you haven't tried the 4.2RC yet, you might find the module switching a bit faster. And for better use of your exports processing power, try splitting your export into 3 or 4 and running them concurrently (i.e. set the first going, and immediately set the second going, etc.) as that'll make better use of the extra cores if your hard drives are able to keep up with them.

CPU usage displayed by top does not make sense.
