Creating large video portfolio site? Project's getting slow and buggy? Here's a solution:

If, like me, you're creating a large video portfolio site (over 50 vids) in Edge, you may find after a while elements on the stage start to vanish (they're still there but invisible) and the program REALLY slows down. And lots of crashes. I've asked the experts and the response generally seems to be "Site's way too big!" HOWEVER, I have a good workaround:
After importing a Mpeg4 and Webm file into the video library, put it into your design, animate it, add functions, preview it, etc - then DELETE it from the media folder! The elements remain with all the attributes and code attached on the timeline, stage and elements window - but it's just a placeholder. Once you've done this, you can move on adding more and more videos, repeating this process. The project file never gets too big or slow! Then right at the end, put all the Mpeg4 and webm files back in the media folder. You might not be able to launch the project and preview (it'll be too big) but you can still drop it on your browser to check. And, if all's good, upload. If there are things that still need fixing, take the video files back out the Media folder so that when you launch the project file again to make amendments, it'll run smoothly. After fixing, put the videos back.
Hopefully in the next full version, Edge is made more robust and able to tackle.

FINAL CUT PRO X (the latest version). I'm trying to upload my video to Youtube, I am getting flashing and orange bar in the frame timeline. How to make it STOP!? It looks like it's rendering somthng but I just want it to stop flashing. I hope it didn't mess up the video...

You're in totally the wrong place... this is the Mac Pro (no Book) forum for hardware. You want
Final Cut Pro X: Professional Applications: Apple Support Communities
Hopefully, FCP X has an autosave feature Like Final Cut Pro Studio so that you may already have a recent copy. If I were in your shoes, I'd try an ESC or something similar before going to a Forced Quit.
Good luck

You can check for problems caused by recent Flash updates and try these:
*disable protected mode in Flash 11.3 and later
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

My computer won't play videos from site like the Daily Show and the CW, but they stopped working last week. I have the newest version of Adobe player. Anyone know why the full videos will not play?

IMac getting slower -and Im getting more frustrated!

Like others it would appear.... I am finding my iMac is getting slower and slower with each day that passes since upgrading to Mavericks. It is slow to open and close apps. Slow to open mail. Often hangs with the little ball spinning forever and I have to hold the start button to shut down. I've even noticed that simple scrolling jumps all over the place as it is slow to respond. iMessage is often up to 4 minutes behind! I noticed that others have used EtreCheck which has been helpful to those 'in the know'. Any helpful advice would be greatly appreciated, as I have no diea what's what! Thank you.

A.
Some of your user files (not system files) have incorrect permissions or are locked. This procedure will unlock all your user files, reset their ownership, and remove their access-control lists. If you've set special values for those attributes, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Back up all data.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (triple-click, copy, and paste):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR..; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_; chmod -R -N ~ $_; } 2>&-
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.
B.
Launch the Font Book application and validate all fonts. You must select the fonts in order to validate them. See the built-in help and this support article for instructions. If Font Book finds any issues, resolve them.
From the application's menu bar, select
File ▹ Restore Standard Fonts...
You'll be prompted to confirm, and then to enter your administrator login password.
Boot in safe mode to rebuild the font caches. Boot again as usual and test.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. In that case, ask for instructions.
Also note that if you deactivate or remove any built-in fonts, for instance by using a third-party font manager, the system may become unstable.
C.
"BlackBerry Desktop Manager" is incompatible with Mavericks and should be removed.
Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
I never install system modifications myself, and I don't know how to uninstall them. You'll have to do your own research to find that information.
Here are some general guidelines to get you started. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickMyMac” (a hypothetical example.) First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickmymac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickMyMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickMyMac.” If not, open “BrickMyMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button.
Back up all data before making any changes.
You will generally have to reboot in order to complete an uninstallation. Until you do that, the uninstallation may have no effect, or unpredictable effects.
If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase and install OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
WARNING: Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software.

WiFi Connection Gets Slower and Slower

I have a TG862G/CT Arris (Comcast) router. The WiFi connection worked great for more than 6 months. I use Chrome browser with Windows 7.
Recently (last 3+ weeks) something changed. (I haven't move or blocked the router; still connecting with exact same computers.) When I first connect I have very fast connection (response), but after 5 to 10 minutes the response gets slower and slower and finally pages don't load. I get "waiting" messages in the lower left hand side of the screen. The browser tab finally shows the name of the web site, but the screen remains blank.
I would appreciate any help with how to trouble shoot this problem so it can be resolved.
Thanks and best regards.

Hi Cam
Are you using a 3rd party router or an Apple Airport Unit? If the latter, make sure you are using the latest Airport Firmware. If not sure, open Airport Utility in your Applications>Utilities folder. Latest version is 7.4.2. If not, update the firmware via the Base Station Menu (you need to first click on your Airport Unit in the Utilities panel). Otherwise, a soft (unplug/wait/plugin) or hard reset of your Airport Unit might help.
If a 3rd party router, make sure the firmware is up-to-date. If it is, then a reset of the unit may help.
Also, the Airport card in the machine, or the router unit may be failing. Former case, run the Apple Hardware Test - note this Apple document is for mid 2007 machines and later.
As an aside, when creating a thread with a question, best to leave the "question box" in your original post panel checked. Otherwise, it may not be apparent you need assistance.

My iMac is getting slower and slower

My Mac (3.2GHz Intel Core i3 4GB Memory) is about 4 years old and has been getting slower and slower over the last 5 or 6 months. An earlier post recommended using 'Etracheck' which I have done and attached the information below. I think I may have a Ram issue but I would be grateful for any comments.
Thanks

Standard BT Exchange speeds just get slower and sl...

St.Athan exchange, Vale of Glamorgan, S.Wales - Over the last year the speeds I am able to get from my broadband connection are just getting slower and slower. A year ago I could just stream video (important since my business deals in this medium). However, now not only can I not stream video, I have trouble doing the most basic of internet business. Not only is my line speed slow (2mbs tops) but it drops out all the time.
I know it is not my service provider at fault or my house lines because all my neighbours are having the same problem and are with differing ISP's.
It must be that the exchange is getting steadily more oversubscribed and can no longer handle the amount of work it is being asked to do.
I think that my only option (and others in the area) is to completely ditch the BT landline and opt for mobile internet. The speeds available on mobile internet using a device like 3's MiFi arent fantastic but they should at least blow my BT connection away.

NI Session Manager gets slower and slower from call to call!

I have the following problem with NI-Session-Manager:
I use Session Manager a lot on my test systems. Now that I have a test system running that makes many Session Manager Calls I noticed that after a while the system gets slower and slower. I�ve attached a Sequence File, which demonstrates this problem.
This sequence file is based on the LV Session Manager Example, which ships with TestStand.
Instructions: In the UI-Msg Field of the Sequence Editor you will see how long the actual run took to execute. Every run makes 500 calls to Session Manager. You will notice that every run takes a little bit longer than the previous. After 100 runs the difference is significant.
Although my example uses a COM
port to demonstrate the problem this problem is really related to Session Manager because the same happens if I use an IVI-Instrument (i.e. NI-DMM, NI-Switch, �)
Any help appreciated!

Herbert -
Thanks for the feedback. I will look into item (1).
The design of the session manager was to solve the problem of only having to share an instrument within a multithread application. If the session already exists, than you get the same session and thus the same handle, and the instrument is only initialize once and closed after the session no longer exists.
In the case of a C++ based program you would have to add the session as a member variable that has a specific lifetime. When the object is release, so will the session.
In the case of an application like TestStand, you just attach the session to the execution. Once the execution goes away, the session may go away if no other execution is using it.
In the case of L
abVIEW being called from TestStand, you are using VIs as subroutines, so either the application (TestStand) must manage the lifetime of the session, or the VI subroutine must deligate the lifetime control to a "global" VI. The item you attach to the global could be the refnum itself or the SMgr session. One way of doing this would be to create a VI that serves the refnum to you but internally manages the lifetime of the ActiveX references to the Session Manager sessions. This would be a simple vector of names and their sessions. When called the VI would lookup and return a refnum from an existing session or create a new session and return a refnum for it.

Prepared Statemet executeQuery() getting slower and slower

Hi,
I have a servlet that do the following:
1.- Construct the where clause for a query with the data the user has sent.
2.- Get a connection from the pool.
3.- Load a temporary table with a select that uses the where clause created on the first step.
4.- Create a prepared statement as simple as "select * from temp_table where rownum < 500"
5.- While there is still data on the temporary table, loop
5.1.- Extract the information of the result set the Prepared Statemet executeQuery() returns.
5.2.- Delete the rows of the temporary table that had been read on the 5.1 step
5.3.- Check if there is more data
6.- Close the result set, statements, ...
The first runs of the loop are very fast, on the order of 500 ms. When the servlet has executed some times the loop, each run of the loop starts getting slower and slower, growing the time of the loop with each run.
Do anyone knows why the loop takes longer and longer with each run?
Regards,
CptnAgua

Imac getting slow and slowerrrrrr

My mac has been getting slower and slower. Some pages take too long or don't come up. Have to re-boot ofter. Went to Utilities and did disk checking on the HD. Reloaded my original Disc 1 while disk checking and nothing improved. Have nothing big on my computer. Just Internet mostly. Do I need to buy a new and larger HD or what?

Getting slower and slower... Mail.app

hello,
my ipod touch (1st generation, 16 GB, a lot of free space, newest os) get getting slower and slower... f.e. in mail it takes up to 15/20 seconds to change the postbox or account (after deleting mails). I did restart the ipod, too.
Any idea, what I can do to get Mail faster?
Takk
Claus

hello,
With Mail closed, you could always test whether your sent mailbox is too large by copying it in Finder.
~/Library/Mail/YourEmailaccountName/Sent Messages.mbox
and pasting it to say, the Documents folder, then in Mail you could delete all of your sent messages and see if that makes a difference.
If you wanted the sent.mbox back you would import it from where you copied it to, via Mail > File, Import Mailboxes and select it. I don't know if this is the problem though, but you could at least exclude it as a possiblity.

Image Reading getting slower and slower

Hi,
I'm working on a tool that reads each pixel of an image, get the color, and finally make some statistics.
I multithread this tool, allowing it to read several images.
Here is the call() method (my class implements Callable<>)
public StatResult call() throws IOException {
          long begin = System.currentTimeMillis();
          List<SharpColor> tColors = new LinkedList<SharpColor>();
          BufferedImage img = ImageIO.read(file);
          Raster raster = img.getData();
          Long totalNumber = 0L;
          for (int x = 0; x < raster.getWidth(); x++) {
               for (int y = 0; y < raster.getHeight(); y++) {
                    totalNumber++;
                    SharpColor col = new SharpColor(img.getRGB(x, y));
                    if (tColors.contains(col)) {
                         tColors.get(tColors.indexOf(col)).incrementNumber();
                    } else {
                         tColors.add(col);
                System.out.printf("End of stat on the file %s in %d ms (Thread: %s)\n", image.getPdfFile().getAbsolutePath(), (System.currentTimeMillis() - begin), Thread.currentThread().getName());
          return new StatResult(file, tColors, totalNumber);
}               I create a fixed thread pool with 6 threads. When I look a the log, I see that some threads stops working or get slower and slower, whereas there is a lot of files to treat.
Is there something I'm missing? where is my mistake?
Thanks for your help, and please, excuse my english.

I wish I could use an array indexed by the RGB colors, but, sometime, the RGB color is "-1". I think this happen because of the lack of unsigned value in java but I don't how I can get rid of it.
Have you an idea?The one that immediately suggests itself to me is to offset everything by one; but an alternative (and probably better) might be to check the value beforehand. This should help you to find out why and when, and what you could do to fix it.
It also suggests to me that your design is heavily implementation-dependant.

Game is getting slower and slower?

Am creating a spaceship game, but my problem is that the movement of the spaceship is getting slower and slower. I the end it completly stops moving! What am I doing wrong?

I have this code now, thx to Rick :-) My problem is that I dont know how I can make a delay in the thread, before the the second spaceship(enemy1) is thrown into the game? How can I do this when my Graphics is created in a render?
