Delay with Ext. HD

Hello out there,
I recently bought a Buffalo 500g Ext. HD. The problem I'm having is in iMovie or any other application,if I leave it alone for about 10 min, when I return and click on the screen to continue editing, there is a delay of about 30 seconds before the Ext. HD will respond. If I click more than once, I get the beach ball and sometimes have to shut down completely to return to editing. Any thoughts?
Thanks

... there is a delay of about 30 seconds before the Ext. HD will respond...
most (all?) ext. HDD have a built-in energysaver.. they spin-down, mainly for cooling reasons (not the planet, the drive only..) .. you could give the energy-saving settings in your Apple's System Prefs a try .. but some drives decide 'on their own' when and how long to spin-down..
there's a tool

Spin-Down-Fix..
but doesn't work with any Os version nor drive.. but, for free, give it a try...?

I've just rented Monsters vs Aliens on my Apple TV 3 and once we switched to default language - Russian we have experienced major lag in sound, apx. 1 sec delay with the picture. English soundtrack works fine, once we put Russian back - the delay is back.

PS. Just bought the Monster's Inc. and Russian soundtrack works fine.

Agreed! This bug with the ringtone delay (№4.1) is really annoying

Problem installing an add-on with Ext Manager

I bought an add-on and am trying to install it to PS CC with Ext Manager. But when I click on the icon to install I'm getting a message that licensing verification failed. What's up?

My firewire port works with ext hd but not with audio interface

2010 Imac 21.5 running 10.8.5. My firewire port works with ext hd but not with audio interface. The local authorized Apple tech said that I need a new motherboard, but my firewire ext drive works perfectly. I don't understand. Thanks.

You must go to the website of the audio interface manufacturer and look for, download and install updated drivers for the audio device you are using.
This is not, neccessarily, an Apple issue.

Click Firefox shortcut - 4 secs delay WITH white screen, then firefox loads, also every new tab flashes a white blank page fOR half a sec.

Firefox 31, Windows 8.1, AVG, Spybot, dusabked addins ni change, used several suggestions on internet, nothing works. changed proxy settings to manual 127.0.0.1 and port as suggested - no change, could I have an NSA reroute of firefox?

Before doing anything I started Tor Browser Bundle, then exited. Started up Firefox – no 4 secs delay, very minor delay but no white page at all it seemed. Then clicked on the Open New Tab (x) and saw a white flash then the new tab – again a .5 sec delay or less before the new tab appeared.
Shutdown computer. Restarted and clicked on Fireforx shortcut. No blank white page anymore and no delay except for a very minor one.
But still had the white page flash when loading a new tab from the small x on the current page tab. Saw a white flash, then the new tab loaded. Shut down computer, restarted same problem with the new tab click on the small x - .5 sec or less white flash then tab loads.
Went into Firefox Add-Ons and disabled a number of items. Surprise no white flash on loading new tab. Decided to enable AVG PrivacyFix 5.0.11 – miracle, no white flash at all on clicking the small x on the current tab. loaded veryfast no delay there.
Will alert AVG of this issue. But still very surprised that the original main issue of having a 4 secs delay with a completly whtie screen with nothing on it except white disappeared after launching Tor Web Browser throws me for a loop.
Have not tried BlueHell yet and wonder why I should now in addition to the fact that AVG is certainly far superior to it. But if Bluehell does a better job than AdBlocker, willing to try it.
Problem appears solved – Why did Tor fix main issue?

Delay with Linear Phase EQ

Hi!
I woukd like to know .
Why i have delay when i use LPEQ?
There is no delay with other Logic's plugins .
Thanks!

It's required for the nature of the algorithm. You can use PlugIn Delay Compensation. Also, ChannelEQ's settings are interchangeable with LPEQ's - use Channel while tracking if you must.

Do you have the OS 10.6 disk? You can run Disk Utility from that disk and format and partition the new drive.
If you don't have the disk you can buy it from Apple for $20.00

Long Unresponsive Delay with Spinning Color Wheel After Compressor Launches

I'm running FCS3 with Compressor 3.5.
After I launch Compressor, there is a 1-2 minute delay before it will respond to my mouse clicks. The Choose a template window will finally appear after the long delay and then Compressor is responsive to user input.
The reason why this is happening is because I have six (6), yes 6, external optical DVD and Blu-ray burner drives connected to my Mac Pro through a combination of FireWire and USB. When I turn them all off, the delay and unresponsiveness in Compressor is significantly shorter (about 6 seconds). Compressor tries to scan for all your optical drives upon program startup, and this can take a long time if you have many optical drives connected. This issue does not exist in Compressor 3.
This is just a tip for anyone else out there who may have several optical drives connected to your Mac. If you only have one or two optical drives, then you may only see a 6 second delay with the spinning color wheel after Compressor starts up, which is bearable.

Again, this is just a tip. If you want to avoid long delays after starting up Compressor, then disconnect or turn off any external optical burning drives you may have connected.

Voice delay with iPhone 5s

I experience voice delayed conversations when using my iPhone 5s - way more than my 4 ever had. Why? Verizon in both cases.

If anything, that would more than likely be carrier related. I used to see that a lot with Nextel devices. It had to do with their network. You can try a reset on the phone, hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. See if that helps. You can also go into Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings, which will also reset your cell network, and any wi-fi networks and passwords and see if either helps.

Contact phone numbers with ext. numbers will not work from old phone

When trying to use a contact number with an ext. the phone will say I do not have long distance nor international dialing on my plan.My previous phone was a LG Dare which allowed for the number to be dialed and the ext was then dialed after a release button was pressed. Any thoughts?

You can enter your contact number in your phonebook/contacts with a comma or two between the number and extension. A comma should wait 2 seconds and then dial the extension, 2 commas 4 seconds, etc
1234567890,1234
Or you can try a ; (semi-colon) to pause and ask for you to dial an extension. I don't know if this works on a GS3 or not

Spotlight starts indexing after every restart and there is a scrolling delay with both mouse and track pad.

I had to restart my MBP three time, two after it crashed. Every time Spotlight starts to index the content on my Mac
which takes two hour. Then there is a delay when I start scrolling, both with the mouse and with the track pad.
I also notised that after changing the icons with Candybar they still appear unchanged in Launchpad, which makes
it confusing. Launchpad isn't consitent when putting the apps in aphabetic order, but jumble up some of the apps.
i don't get back the wab sites after restart as i was to believe I would.
As Jobs sez; And more thing.
Well one more might OK, there are more bugs then that, but I to tired to tell them all.
I have never found so many bug in such a short time (only in two hours with Lion now) with any other OS and I have worked with Macs since -91.
God help us.

Hi, me again, more data.
I have found that some plugins are accessing the internet without my permission.
And when I went into the plug in menu via the addons options through the Tool Menu option, I found the plug ins there.
BUT I never installed those plugins, and now they are there and they are accessing the Internet. Here are two images to show the plug ins disabled and yet another image showing them still accessing the Internet even when disabled.
I then removed them from the system (I did back them up first, just in case).

Audio/video out of sync (audio delay) with PowerBeats wireless earphones.

I am having a problem with audio/video sync between my PowerBeats Wireless earphones with my MacPro and MacBookPro. I have tried pairing, playing the video, pausing the video, turning off the PowerBeats, tuning the PowerBeats on, then starting the video playback again. I have the same audio delay so this not working for me. Anyone have an update as to how to fix this audio/video sync problem?

I am playing MPEG-4 movie files. I did open MPlayerX from my dock, then pulled down File to select Open which then did show the folder where these movie files are stored. Then I was able to select a movie file, open it, and use "Decrease Audio Delay" to closely sync the audio with the video. I say closely because it is not perfect. Rather than stepping each increase or decrease in one tenth of a second, perhaps a finer adjustment would have been in milliseconds. This is the adjustment that I have with my AVR to sync the audio with the video, so I know this is a possible increment adjustment. The perfect adjustment was in between -0.4 and -0.5 second,however, this was not possible in one tenth second adjustments. The closest adjustment was with -0.4 second rather than with -0.5 second. So, adjustments in milliseconds could have been very near a perfect sync. Perhaps later versions of MPlayer will offer the adjustment selection in milliseconds. Nevertheless, this is working much, much better than before. Thank you so much. I have spent most of this day researching this problem and you have come up with by far the best solution. This problem goes all the way back to 2010 and possibly beyond for Apple products. There are hundreds of reports documenting out of sync audio/video issues with no solution that works as well as MPlayerX. Even the Beats support staff have no idea of how to resolve the audio/video out of sync.

Video/Sound delay with AppleTV on higher resolutions

I have a new Sony 55" RP SXRD HD TV (1080p max res), and just hooked up my AppleTV today. After syncing it with most of my video library and some of my music library, I tested the video appearance. My initial setting was 1080i, and I experienced major video/sound synchronization delays (similar to older DVD players where you'd hear what the person was saying 5-8 seconds before they said it on screen). This drove me nuts, so I switched down to 720p res, and while the movies played okay, the TV Shows and the Music Videos left much to be desired, and still had the same synchronization problems. To remove these issues, I finally changed the res down to 420p, but now, when I watch pretty much anything (photos, album art, TV Shows, Music Videos, and Movies), the resolution is horrible, and pixelates on my TV.
I'm trying to pinpoint this to find out if it's the TV, the connection (HDMI), or the AppleTV. Can anyone offer some advice on what to look for, what might cause this issue, and how I could fix it? Thanks so much in advance!

Sounds to me like it's a problem with upscaler. Does the Apple TV upscale? If it does, then it's the upscaler in the Apple TV and is probably a software problem that can be fixed with a firmware update. But it's weird that if it's a consistent problem with the Apple TV upscaler that these forums aren't just soaked in complaints about it. Could be only a problem with really large, say 46" or greater TVs -- that might explain the low number of complaints.
If the Apple TV doesn't upscale, then it's the upscaler in your HDTV. Prior to about six months ago, when all HDTVs got good upscaler chipsets, some HDTVs, especially the older, larger models, had absolute trash upscaler chipsets -- even the expensive quality brand models got some bad upscalers. All kinds of problems from all input sources, but not always with every device. How old is your HDTV?
For your sake, I hope it's an Apple TV upscaler problem with larger dimensioned HDTVs, as that Apple can fix for free with a firmware update. Next best choice is your terrible upscaler chipset in your HDTV supports firmware upgrades via USB or network cable and there is a firmware update out that fixes your HDTV's upscaler problems. Because the final, worst alternative, if there is no update for your HDTV available, or your model doesn't support firmware updates, it's the really bad option: drop another couple grand or more for a new HDTV of the same large dimensions.

Pops and Clicks and Delays with X-Fi Fatal1ty Platinum in Windows 7 32bit

Hi, I own an x-fi fatalty platinum sound card and I have installed the beta driver for Windows 7 32bit.
When doing things in the OS, i get occasional pops and clicks. I know exactly what it comes from, it happens when there are multiple sounds being played simultaneously. If I join a ventrilo server, the little intro sound it makes pops and clicks. If I hold down my talk key, sometimes it will pop and then play the little talk sound, sometimes it won't play the sound at all... and the same is true when I let go of my talk key.
Virtually everything I do in the OS has this weird pop and click sound associated with it. Playing music, however, doesn't have that problem because an MP3 is a continous stream of audio and counts as a single sound. It's when there are multiple sounds overlapping does it pop/click or fail to produce the sound at all or in its entirety. It's like the x-fi is delayed and isn't able to play the sound fast enough which therefore produces a pop and clicking sound at the beginning of sounds. This is why I purchased an x-fi sound card becaus it eliminated this problem from my onboard sound. Now it's BACK in Windows 7.
Also, when I play UT2004, by default there's an option called "Use System Driver" checked in the sound options. This makes everything in the game have a slight 0.25 second delay, but it's enough to make it noticeable and annoy me. If I disable "Use System Driver", it fixes the delay but the pops and clicks come back!? I can't win one way or the other.
Windows XP does not have this problem. I have tried both the stable x-fi driver and the beta driver. I have tried updating my OpenAL software. I'm not sure what to do beyond reinstall Windows 7 and try again... which I really do not look forward to doing.
If anyone could assist me, or take note of this issue so it could be fixed in later drivers, it would be very much appreciated.
Thank you,
-Neil

Hello?

Random delays with tpacall

Dear friends,
we do have an issue that sometimes result in a random delay. We haven't thoroughly invesitigaded this, so there might be some bad conclusions made in the scenario described below
We're using Tuxedo 11.1.1.2.0 and DB2 9.7
When we're doin' two sequential tpacall's (with TPSIGRSTRT only) to 2 services (A and B) (implemented in the same server) doin' some SQL-operations to a DB2-database. It usually works well, but once in a while it seems like the there's a delay for about 1 second before the service(s) is/are processed. When we digged a little deeper into this, the delay seemed to occur when the call to service B ended up in the server before the call to service A
In this case, the services just read some data so, as a quick and dirty workaround, we called the services with TPSIGRSTRT | TPNOTRAN and the "random" delay disappeared. This "workaround" is not desirable (in a SOA-architecture) and may not even be applicable all the time
As I wrote above, we haven't really digged in to this problem, so DB2 might be the one to blame as well, the answer may lay in how the two products work togehter (perhaps releaded to xa_reg vs ax_reg ?)
Have anyone experienced something like this ? Does anyone have an explanation ? Can it be a defect (in implementation or design) in one of the products ?
Best regards,
Kristian

Hi Kristian,
When you say 2 services implemented in the same server, you mean the same server executable, or the same server instance, i.e., how many copies of the server are running? If there are multiple copies of the server running, are they in the same group? Also, are the servers in a transactional group, i.e., one with an OPENINFO string and build against an DB2 as an RM? The reason I ask this second question is that when in a transactional group, Tuxedo maintains and manages the connection to the RM. In non-transactional groups, it is up to the application to manage the connections.
You say the services just read some data, so there should be no dependencies in the database between the two such as readying cursors or the like?
If all you changed was to add TPNOTRAN, then I suspect it may be a DB2 issue. One way to check is to enable XA tracing and see if DB2 is calling back with an ax_reg() call in the execution of either service. If DB2 is calling Tuxedo with ax_reg(), then DB2 thinks you are modifying the state of the database and is trying to join a global transaction. This still doesn't explain the delay, although the timestamps on the traces may help. TSAM Plus would also be able to potentially help identify the cause of this problem, or at least the culprit responsible for the delay.
One other possibility is that if you are doing this a lot, say thousands of times a second, then you may be hitting the global transaction table lock hard enough to cause some serious contention issues. But again, I'm not sure why a 1 second delay.
Do you know if the delay only occurs when service B gets processed before service A?
