Delays in builds appearing

i was giving a presentation in Keynote and there were a few second delays in my builds appearing on click. such that i'd click again and then it would build in AND advance to the next slide. i was getting ahead of myself because the delays in builds threw me. this hasn't happened before.
i recently upgraded to Tiger, and i don't know if this might have caused problems. i looked at the times set in the builds, etc., and can't see anything that would cause this.
i was using the presenter mode at the time.
any advice?

I've run across the problem before. Here are the main issues:
•The more complicated the slide/build/transition, the more your machine has to process. This can cause delays and stutters. Also, quit any other programs, so Keynote is the only program running.
•How much VRAM do you have? If you have less than 32MB, turn on video mirroring for the presentation. Set your display to a lower resolution. Use thousands instead of millions of colors. All these adjustments use less VRAM.
•It can sometimes help to run your presentation before you present it. It seems that some information is cached, allowing speedier transitions.
•I was doing complicated stuff, and my 1 GHz PowerBook just couldn't handle it, so I just bought a 2.33 GHz Macbook Pro (not a cheap solution). But my Keynote displays beautifully!

Delaying button's appearance

Is there any way to cause the buttons on a menu to delay before appearing on the menu screen?

Definitely works in DVD-SP 2 (just did it the other day) but as "Houghts" says it may be that you need to use the Simple overlay method (whhich is what we do)
The only thing that doesn't work properly is returning to the loop point if you menu out of what's playing (I think I'm right in saying it defaults back to the beginning of the menu). We usually create two versions of the menu - one with the loop and delayed buttons appearing - for when the disc is first played - then one which has the buttons load straight away from the loop point.
Hope that makes sense (kind of)

Captivate 4: Delay in objects appearing

I have some image objects I've imported to my library and placed on slides, with options set to appear after 0.0 seconds, with no transition. However, when I run the project (as a preview or a published SWF) there is a delay of about 1 or 2 tenths of a second before the objects appear on the slide. The objects are PNG and GIF images. I tried BMP and JPG images, just to see if that made a difference, but it didn't.
This problem didn't happen in Captivate 3. Is there a setting I've missed, or something else I'm doing wrong?
-Stuart

Hello Stuart,
This seems to resolve your issue in the example: the success action on the buttons in slide 1 and slide 2 are set to 'Continue', if you change it to 'Go to next slide' the blink seems to disappear. This is consistent with the actions on success for the other slides on the click boxes, where the issue is not there. Do not ask me to explain why, but seems to work.
Hope this is also the case for you?

file save... delay before dialog appears

Hello,
Since I upgrade to 10.4.5, the first time I choose "save" in every application , it takes a very long time (5 a 10 sec) before the saving dialog appears. Later in the same session for the same application it seems to work correctly, but the same thing happens with each other application. Is it normal, explainable or what ?

Hi, Michel.
Do you have an iDisk? If so, disable iDisk auto-sync in System Preferences > .Mac per this thread.
Good luck!

Delay in building chart

Hello,
I am making 4-5 charts on single page, the data to build chart is preloaded, Then too,the page is taking around 40-45 seconds to generate on a mobile device(on browser its taking around 8-10 seconds).
Need help in reducing time to generate charts.
Help is appreciated .
Thanks and Regards.

Hi,
If am not wrong, you should not be referring it manually in your ant script, you can generate something called workshop.xml which will have reference to all the required jar, war, ear files required to build the portal project in a server which dostn't support running workshop.
My first suggestion is, please find the below link, which will help you to generate the required build scripts for the projects in your workspace.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13224_01/wlw/docs102/guide/ideuserguide/build/conUseCustomAntBuild.html
Kindly go through this document carefully and make sure you do all the steps stated and get the required build scripts.
If you still don't want to use the build script generated by workshop, you will get an idea on how things can be done and you can also customize the scripts based on your requirements.
Let me know if you still have any issues in creating build script for a Weblogic Portal 10.3 application, but get back to me only after reading and trying the above said doc.

10.4.9 - Delays in Terminal, Wake From Sleep, XCode Build

Hi,
Since I've updated my Intel iMac to 10.4.9 I'm experiencing some delays in certain actions. The most bothersome being in Terminal. Every time I open a new session (window/shell) I get the spinning beach ball for about 10 seconds before the new window appears. I also get the same delay when building in Xcode and getting the login prompt after waking from sleep.
Looking at the activity monitor, it doesn't look like there is a spike in CPU usage. Any ideas?
Thanks.
Intel iMac Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Nothing interesting as far as I can tell. I checked system.log and windowserver.log as well as console.log. I watched the console as I opened terminal and nothing was written before, during or after the delay.
If I open terminal, wait through the delay, then quit terminal and open it right away, it sometimes it opens a terminal window without delay. It also sometimes opens a new terminal window right away and displays the line "Last login: Fri Mar 23 13:20:52 on ttyp1", but then I have to wait a good 5-10 seconds for the "Welcome to Darwin!" message and the prompt.
Weird...

Making slide transition appear in build overwiev

In the new Keynote '13, I'm not able to set a slide transition animation, appear after a previous build. The slide transition doesn't even appear in the buildoverwiev window.
I have a headline, I have assagined an build out animation to, this starts with a click, after that has happen I would like the slidetransition to happen automatically. But as it is now I can't choose to have the slidetransition happen after previous, as it dosen't appear in the buildoverwiev. I can only force the slidetransition with another click.
Any fix to this?

To be correct; the latest Keynote is version 6.1 not 13.
Slide transitions are not builds, they are a separate type of effect. Only Builds appear in the Builds Order List. Builds are effects for objects, transitions are effects for slides.
The effects you want can easily be achieved however;
to add the build to the object on the slide:
click the object on the slide to select, Inspector > Animate > Build Out > Add an effect
to add a transition for the slide:
click the slide in the Navigator pane to select, Inspector > Animate > Add an effect >
select a transition effect
to action the transition after the build:
in the Start Transition dropdown menu, seect Automatically

Help request: "simple" DVD, just pictures, delay issues

Hi, I admit I'm a newbie regarding DVD authoring, but I'm trying to help a friend who just got her DVD SP 4 and needs to do a simple dvd with some of her paintings and some info about her.
We've tried to follow the manual's instructions but now I think we need your help!
So basically we have a project with a menu with 4 buttons (works, bio, cv, contact). No videos involved, it's all pictures based.
We prepared the pictures in photoshop, and since I read about the slideshow problems in DVD SP, I created a track to show the slides.
On each subpage (works, bio, cv, contact) I have created also a "button over video", using the subtitle (it's a "menu" word which links back to the menu), it seemed to us the easiest way to create an interaction.
All the buttons in the project are text, no pics, no videos.
Everything seems to work fine in the simulator. But when I save it as .img and test in the Apple DVD player, there are some unexpected delays when I click on, for example, the bio, cv, contact menu voices, before these pages to appear.
It's strange also because these three pages are just made of one picture each at the moment, while the "works" consists of 6 pictures (and it has music also, while the other pages have no audio).
We have also tried two different methods to build the project: the first version had all the contents on separate tracks (so one for "works", one for "bio", and so on).
Then we tried with just one track, putting everything on it and using the marker/chapter/jump features to create a correct navigation.
In this second case the final results are a bit better, but the delay is still there especially on the 3rd and 4th menu voice/chapter of the track ("cv" and "contact").
Also, it's very annoying that the "button over video"/subtitle button appears before that delayed track/chapter appears, so if you have a tip about this issue too, we would appreciate it!
Thanks!

Whilst you are making a simple disc, you are using some advanced features, and for some folk they are just too glitchy to use.
Here's a suggestion... get all of your images into .pict format at the correct dimensions for your video standard (720x480 or whatever) and number them sequentially. OPen the sequence in Quicktime and allocate five or ten seconds to each image and then save the result out as a piece of dv footage. Bring that in to DVDSP and add chapter markers at the start of each new image, or encode it to MPEG2 and bring it in (If you don't encode, DVDSP will handle that for you, but you might get better results if you do it yourself).
Create some stories and place the relevant chapter markers into each (works, bio, cv and contact) so that only those markers play. Connect the menu buttons to the story containers (not the markers inside), and set the end jump and menu call for each story to go back to the relevant menu (and button).
Make sure that your menus are not layer based - use simple overlay style menus or create them from the built in templates and palette items.
You should then have avoided the slideshow settings in DVDSP and may get better playback performance. Keep in mind that there are always delays when you move from a menu to a track, and these differ according to the DVD player that you are using.

TV shows purchased through iTunes on PC delayed in showing up on Apple TV.

I've been searching for a couple of days trying to find someone with a similiar problem (and, hopefully, an explanation). Unfortunately, I must not be using the right keywords because I can't believe that my problem is really unique.
This is a problem that I've had off and on since I purchased my ATV about six months ago, but it's been noticeable more frequently over the last couple of weeks. When I purchase a TV episode using iTunes on my PC, the episode sometimes appears immediately in the "Purchased" list on my ATV--but not always. Sometimes there is a delay before it appears there--the 9/1 (purchased on 9/2) episode of Breaking Bad just showed up in the list today (the 9/8 episode, downloaded on my PC on 9/9 still hasn't showed up). An episode of another show that I purchased this afternoon does not appear yet. I can access these my directly accessing my iTunes library by clicking on the "Computer" icon--and this is immediate--so it isnt' the end of the world. It is, however, frustrating. . . and seemingly random.
This is probably a separate problem, but I'm mentioning it just in case it might be related. When I turn on the ATV unit, about 90% of the time it does not recognize that "Home Sharing" is turned on in iTunes on my PC (and, yes, it is open). Sometimes I get this going my going to my PC and turning Home Sharing off, and then back on; other times, I need to restart the ATV unit. Getting Home Sharing recognized doesn't resolve the problem of the missing TV episodes, though.
As I write this, I realize that I must sound like a complete idiot when it comes to technology. That really isn't the case. While I really have like the ATV when it works as it should, my opinion of it has really been tainted by how glitchy it seems to be.

Thanks, Winston C, I've actually tried everything you suggested. I'm thinking now that the Home Sharing problem likely is related to Bonjour--I've seen several people mention this with similar (but not identical) problems. The solution that seems to work for some people is to uninstall and reinstall Bonjour. Frankly, I don't want to go through the trouble given that the iOS 7 release is imminent.
One thing that I haven't tried is resetting the ATV to factory settings. I'll give that whirl.
Thanks for your advice!

The build directory of the test run either does not exist or access permission is required.

i am trying to run automated tests
i follow the steps in the web but when i have 2 issues that does not solve
1. i created console project and add build definition without drop folder and queue builds that success.
2. i created C# unit test and add build definition and run it from VS and it worked and done what i want to do.
3. i built lab with 1 machine and define the controller on this pc ( the machine in the lab is another pc)
4. i created test suite with test cases and from vs 2013 i associated automation nethod that i created in 2.
5. when i try to associate the builds for the test plan i have a PROBLEM(1):
this happened every new build that i try to assign - all the builds appears after refresh and when i press assign to plan button
a pop up shown with error : " The build that you selected for this plan no longer exist " but he chose it in build in use but there no work item under it - the list is empty even that there are 2 tests under this test suite.
and than when i try to run the automated tests i have this PROBLEM(2):
The build directory of the test run either does not exist or access permission is required. and the test failed.
Please Help
Roey

Hi Rory,
Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
According to the error message:
(1) a pop up shown with error : " The build that you selected for this plan no longer exist "
I tried to create a build definition without the drop folder location for unit test solution from the VS IDE, and then I try to select the Build in use option to add the Available builds, then click this Assign to plan. I found that I get same error message
with yours like the following screen shot.
However, when we try to create a build definition with drop folder location for this same unit test solution and then build successfully in the VS IDE.
After you add the Available builds and then click this Assign to plan in the MTM, it work fine.
Therefore, I assume that the issue is related to that you did not specify a build directory for automated test case. MTM need to know where is the drop location of the build building your tests.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20033217/couldnt-run-my-test-using-microsoft-test-manager
In addition, I did some research about the problem 2:"The build directory of the test run either does not exist or access permission is required. and the test failed."
I know that the error message occur in either of the following conditions:
1. The account under which test controller is running does not have read permission on the build directory. (The build directory is same as the drop location of build associated with this test run.)
2. The build directory itself does not exist.
So please refer the following blog to check this issue:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/aseemb/archive/2009/11/25/error-starting-the-test-run-build-directory-of-the-test-run-is-not-specified-or-does-not-exist.aspx
Therefore, I suggest you can try to specify a drop location for build when you run the automated test from the MTM and then check this issue.

The Distribution Kit Builder is Looking for the NI Variable Engine in an old distribution, cant find it and fails to build

I am unable to build a distribution kit because the builder appears to have saved a path to the NI Variable Engine which is not valid. I appear to have the NI Variable Engine installed. There are NI Variable Engine 2.5.0 .xml files loaded in on my computer (See attached for listing of drivers loaded). I do not seem to be able to break CVI's Link to my past installers for getting drivers. I've tried creating a new installer but had the same trouble.
I am running a 64 bit Laptop with Windows 7, building a 32 bit application, running CVI 2010.
Solved!

ATAHM Outline.ppt ‏61 KB

The default path is the path to whatever distribution installed NI Variable Engine on your machine. For example, if it was installed from a Driver Disk, the path would probably be D:\. However, from the images you originally posted, I can see that you were being prompted to provide the path to one of your earlier ATAHM distributions. It was looking for it at this path:
c:\Users\chill\Documents\Development\AATAS\ATAHM\distributions_ATAHM\ATAHM Oct 24 2011\
Do you still have that distribution? If you can point it to that distribuiton, you should be good.
Now back to the error you were seeing... Your version of that .NET manifest file matches (except for the version number) Revision A from the Knowledge Base, so you should try replacing it with Revision B (and rename it to NI .NET Framework 2.0 Language Pack x86 Installer {F8ECD2D6-659C-49EB-8454-5F8F7B526FCF}.xml). Make sure you restart CVI after swapping the file. I would expect that to solve your problem. If it doesn't, you'll have to let me know what the new issue is, or if you're somehow still seeing the same error message.

Problems Building on Solaris

Hi,
I've been trying to evaluate BDB XML 2.3.8 for use on a new project for the last couple of days. I was able to build on Windows with no trouble but have been having trouble getting a working build on Solaris.
By any chance is there a binary build available? All I'm trying to do is get the necessary libraries so that I can include them with a Java program.
Anyhow, here are the problems I'm having getting it to build. I'd greatly appreciate any help that can be offered.
$ uname -a
SunOS kftcsu03 5.8 Generic_117350-26 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-480R
I built using the following command:
$./buildall.sh -c cc -x CC --enable-java
The build appeared to work. However, when I try to execute the generated dbxml file:
$ ./dbxml
Segmentation Fault (core dumped)
I then tried to execute the Java example (dbxml.gettingStarted.exampleLoadContainer):
Which produced the following:

George,
Is there a better way to tell the version? Based on the path I'd say v6.2
[emr39@kftcsu03 bin]$ which cc
/tools/fortedev/v6.2/SUNWspro/bin/cc
[emr39@kftcsu03 bin]$ which CC
/tools/fortedev/v6.2/SUNWspro/bin/CC
Our sysadmins have a bunch of the GNU tools installed in /tools/GNU/bin, to get the build to run to completion I had to create a symlink to the make that was in there and then ensure the symlink was in my path first so that version of make was used.
[emr39@kftcsu03 bin]$ which cc
/tools/fortedev/v6.2/SUNWspro/bin/cc
[emr39@kftcsu03 bin]$ which CC
/tools/fortedev/v6.2/SUNWspro/bin/CC
Here's what I managed to get from the core file generated when I ran dbxml. I used dbx to get this stacktrace.

Can i avoid needing to manually enumerate all TestCases in a TestRunner for an ant build?

flexunit gurus,
i've been experimenting with the FlexUnit4SampleCIProject as part of following the instructions for ant builds at http://docs.flexunit.org/index.php?title=Ant_Task
this sample project utilizes a TestRunner.mxml file that manually enumerates every TestCase that should be run as part of the tests. e.g. after i modified TestRunner.mxml to test my locally developed classes, a snippet looks like this:
                var core : FlexUnitCore = new FlexUnitCore();
                core.run(MathUtilTest, StringUtilTest);
the ant build then invokes that TestRunner as part of the build:
        
        <flexunit swf="${bin.loc}/TestRunner.swf"
            toDir="${report.loc}"
            haltonfailure="false"
            headless="false"
            verbose="true"
            localTrusted="true" />
the associated maven build for this project does not require a TestRunner.mxml. the following snippets from the configuration of the flexmojos plugin in the pom.xml allows for the TestCases to be run without needing to manually enumerate them ahead of time::
               <includeTestFiles>
                  <includeTestFile>*Test.as</includeTestFile>
               </includeTestFiles>
Flash Builder 4 now supports a model like flexmojos - I can simply right click a project or folder and select Execute FlexUnit Tests and all the tests are run, without needing a TestRunner.mxml. Flash Builder appears to accomplish this by dynamically generating (and then compiling and executing) 2 mxml files based on the FlexUnit tests found in the project/folder. In Flex Builder 3 days, I had to manually maintain a TestRunner.mxml, which was error prone and cumbersome.
my question is whether there is support in an ant build for running all *Test.as files without needing an associated TestRunner.mxml. if so, could you post an example on how to accomplish this? i suppose i could create a custom ant task that dynamically generates a mxml file after searching the file system for *Test.as files (similar to what Flash Builder 4 does), but since this seems like such a common need i'm hoping it is (or can be) provided as part of FlexUnit's ant tasks.
thanks.
-mike

they aren't there yet, but...
if you want to have a little fun, this code is already in our github master
<flexunit workingDir="${bin.loc}" toDir="${report.loc}"
haltonfailure="false" verbose="true" localTrusted="true">
   <testSource dir="${main.src.loc}" />
   <testSource dir="${test.src.loc}">
      <include name="**/*Test.as" />
   </testSource>
   <library dir="${lib.loc}" />
</flexunit>
documentation and being 'official' are not far off, but due to some logisitcs I can't give you a firm date just yet,

CF Report Builder - multiple queries

I am a CF developer who has worked a fair bit with coding
reports manually. Have taken the plunge with report builder and
generally like what I see, BUT am quite disappointed with an
apparent lack of documentation or tutorials on complex reporting
techniques.
I need to do a report which ideally requires two queries, the
results of which the report's purpose is to compare.
The problem is, from what I can tell, a .CFR can only have
ONE query (which I find odd). Can anyone suggest a way of being
able to have more than one query result set passed into a .CFR.
I am starting to wonder that CF Report Builder might be great
for fairly basic, single data set reports, but no good for large
complex reports. I would be interested in hearing others opinions
on this.
Many Thanks in Advance.

Thanks tmschmitt. You are right in that I am (was) stuck on
passing in multiple queries. What I have managed to do is use the
Advanced option of the query builder to write my two seperate
queries, then combine them into one recordset by doing a Query on
the Queries. Not sure if this is the best way around it, but it
seems to be working fine. Problem now is that I need to manually
craete 500+ "Query Fields" (yuk).
I haven't really delved into the sub-reports yet, but have a
feeling they won't meet my current needs. Basically i have 253
columns of demographic data. I need one recordset (A) with this
data from one geographic location with a recordset from a different
location (B). I then need to lay out the data with each field from
B beside it's corresponding field from A. In short, it is a
comparitive report whereby the reader can compare a given value
(e.g. avg income) from one area with that from another. This would
be fairly straightforward in a scripted report, but with Report
Builder appears to be quite cumbersome and potentially unmanagable
as I need to handle each field explicitly (rather than looping over
recordsets and structures to generate the different sections of the
report).
