Doesn't Start the first time
I just thought I'd put this out there and see if anyone else had the same anomaly. When I open Flash Cayalyst Beta 1 I get a loading screen but the program never opens. If I try again it usually opens. I am using vista 64bit. Anyone else had this problem?
I am also having this problem. I open the app, it runs the startup screen and then the screen goes away but nothing happens.
this is the log file that i got

My home button doesn't work the first time I press it, but the second time. This is very annoying. Why is it doing this?
- Try a reset. It cures many ills and nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Edge animate animation does not start the first time I load the page. But does the second time.
Hi all,
I am having trouble with an edge animation on a web page. It doesn't load the first time the page is loaded, but loads fine the second time or any time after that. To test I am clearing my cache, then reloading the page. It seams to work in IE the first time but not Firefox or chrome.
I have a temporary copy of the page here ... http://emiwip.com/monique-mathieu/landing-page-wip.html
Can anyone tell me what is going on?
Thanks.
DanI found the answer here ... Publishing no longer works in latest Edge
It appears that you need to load the latest jQuery in the head of the pag. That fixes it.

Application started using Java Web Start doesn't launch the first time
I have a Facebook photo uploader application that I plan to distribute using Java Web Start. I'm using Java 6u4 on Windows XP SP2 with 2GB of RAM. I have Java 6u3, Java 6u4 and Java 5 u14 installed and I'm sure the one used is Java 6u4.
I signed my application and make use of all security settings.

</jnlp>Here is the link for my application http://antaki.ca/bloom/Bloom.jnlp
The first time the application is installed using a link on the browser it's downloaded then the certificate dialog is shown, after that I check the checkbox to accept the certificate permanently. The application doesn't load, it only loads the second time although I see it in the task manager. If I don't accept the certificate permanently it does load. This happens on both Firefox 2 and IE 7. I enabled the console and logging but nothing shows up there.That's really a weird problem, I wonder if Java Web Start is a viable deployment option, it does have great capabilities such as autoupdate but still seems to have important bugs.
Does anyone have any clue about what is going on.
The problem doesn't occur on Ubuntu 7.10.
Thanks,

You were right my XML file was not correct. I still couldn't find a valid JNLP validator. Sun has to provide that.>No they don't (have to supply a validator for their own document type, though it makes sense to do so), but yes they do (provide a tool that validates XML against schemas). Java can validate XML against a DTD or XSD.
Check these two threads (and chase the links) for more details.
JNLP xsd schema
<http://groups.google.com.au/group/comp.lang.java.programmer/browse_thread/thread/c6f65bf1df5f105d/30c6b7e2dc342dc4>
Validate XML against DTD? XSD OK. SSCCE.
<http://groups.google.com.au/group/comp.lang.java.programmer/browse_thread/thread/5b997a1edb765b11/e831f3066eb4aa38>
Look especially for the posts by Piotr Kobzda.
I had a tool on my site based largely on Piotr's codes, that linked to a valid JNLP DTD and XSD, but unfortunately my site is offline at the moment. Andy assures me that the JNLP 6.0 DTD has been corrected for the developer ..download tutorials of web start, though the online (web site) version may still be invalid. -
Button's Text Doesn't Display The First Time
Hi there.
I'm new to flash, and have come across the following problem,
and can't seem to resolve it. It's really urgent that it's fixed
ASAP. Can someone help me please?
If you go to www.apollosci.co.za, the flash intro, at the
bottom. The tab's text is missing. But when you go to another page,
then go back to the flash intro page, the text shows. It's just the
first time that its gone. And of course, the first time is the
crucial part.
I have tried different routes to fix this, by changing the
character length, trying different codes in the menu.txt... but
nothing seems to work. And as I mentioned above, I'm quite new to
flash and code.
I'm using MS Front Page to upload the website.I am also having this problem. I open the app, it runs the startup screen and then the screen goes away but nothing happens.
this is the log file that i got

Mac mini doesn't boot the first time i turn it on
hello,
i have a strange problem with my mac mini and was wondering if anyone had heard of it before.
when i turn on mac mac, the light comes on and i hear drive noise, but no chime. no video is sent to the display (the monitor flashes "no signal"). however, if i wait for 5 or 10 minutes, turn it off by holding down the power button and then turn it straight back on it again, it starts up as usual (with chime).
could this be a software problem or is it more likely a glitch in the hardware?
mac mini, 1.66ghz intel
mac os x 10.4.11
cheers,
jack.That doesn't sound like a software/OS problem, because MacOS doesn't begin to load until after the initial startup, including the chime and the grey screen with Apple logo. Since you don't get the chime or display, it sounds like the system has a hardware problem, or perhaps an issue with PRAM.
As a first step I would reset PRAM as follows:
-Shut down the computer.
-Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in the next step but one.
-Turn on the computer.
-Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
-Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
-Release the keys. -
My computer always fails to start the first time (X99S GAMING 9 AC + Win 8.1)
Hello everybody!
I have a problem with my new desktop computer.
Every time I turn it on, Windows fails to start after the bootscreen and shows me a BSOD. After that, the computer reboots itself, tries to use Automatic Repair and tells me that maybe rebooting the computer could solve the issue, so I reboot the computer and everything works fine. I have to do this every time I turn on my computer.
Sometimes it also happens when resuming from hibernation. Why does this happen? All my drivers are up to date.
My computer is the one in the signature.
Thank you!Quote from: Svet on 12-December-14, 17:22:20
you should enable it before OS installation
Thanks for the help Svet
I enabled before and the same problem. I use HD SSD Samsung Evo 840 w last firmware in SATA port 1.
I have a bluray drive recorder, a DVD recorder and a hard drive 1tb.
If I unplug everything and leave only the SSD, windows normally starts in quick boot. I believe it is a bug in fastboot msi / fastboot.
I tried with a 320gb HDD (normal drive, no ssd) SATA Western Digital, alone in port sata and windows starts normally, if I plug the other players and the hd 1tb, fast boot freezes at logo MSI and then present the following error: "MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION" or "whea_uncorrectable_error".
To re-start, I have to remove the SATA cable, reset the PC, it will enter the UEFI BIOS, plug the HD and save and exit. By doing so the pc re-enters the windows. But if I turn off and on, he returns to lock the MSI logo. If I turn off the fastboot and MSI fast boot the pc starts normally.

Image display (Image don't appear the first time?)
Applet at: http://saladinsite.tripod.com/Project/MiniProject.htm
Code at and Bottom: http://saladinsite.tripod.com/Project/MiniProject.java
Hi,
I just created my very first applet. It's a simple quiz. I'll agree it's very unefficient.. but heh.. good for first try.
There is a lil problem I am having. Sometimes when I load the applet, the background image don't show up. Sometimes, the happy/cry images (corresponding to right/wrong answer) don't show up (check the applet to see what I am talkin about) It only happens once tho. It's strange. Take a look at the applet, you will see. Btw: It's not the downloadin of image that cuzes the bug. Same problem happens in appletviewer. If it doesn't appear the first time, the next time you go back to it, it will appear.
My teacher has also struggled with this problem but failed. Hope you guys can help me out.
Thanks,
Gant

1. Take out the audio data (I suspect this may be the key problem)
2. Take out the Thread 'main' and have an actionListener attached to your answer field to handle the changes
3. Take out java.net and your URLs
4. use a MediaTracker and WaitForAll()
5. Strip it down further - AS MUCH AS YOU CAN (you can easily reassemble it quickly again) and then look at the program flow
6. Add more boolean logic to give you control over all your elements ie
if(myAnswer==answer) smiley=true;
else smiley = false;
// or whatever, as I said I could only scan through your code as it is difficult to read in its present format.
Finally: this is good work I like the smileys and the instant %'s, the general layout, good /intelligent use of random() to generate different Q's each time. It's a good application, just remember that applets can be unreliable and I think your basic problem is that you have too much data here.
Strip it right down, focus on your logical flow and then put back the elements one-by-one -
Converting from WORD to pdf always fails the first time
OS is XP. Acrobat Pro 8.1.5. When I first convert from WORD, EXCEL, whatever the program appears to be working but no file is created. This happens always on the first time I convert to pdf for the day. Once I do it again, it works and continues to work throughout the day. I turn off my computer at night and again the next day when I come in it doesn't convert the first time but will work again. Is there something in Windows or Acrobat that I can fix to get this to work properly?
If you are using Word 2007 (you don't say) you might try the Microsoft plugin... this is instead of Acrobat

Hello
> thanks you my friend but my problem has not been answered yet. because i have more than one laptop and all have the same problem
For me it sounds like a software problem.
I mean if you have installed XP, nobody knows which drivers you have installed and applications. Everything could cause this issue and in this case you have to search for a solution yourself.
If you install the OS from Toshiba recovery disk and everything works properly, its not a hardware malfunction and not an issue of Toshiba. -

ITunes doesn't open after the first time
Hi, my iTunes after the last upgrading doesn't open. Really it open the first time after starting pc then , when i shut down it seems frozen. Could you help me? Do you ave a solution?
Try following steps and test one at a time:
1. Restart computer, right mouse click iTunes icon and select "Run As Administrator"
2. If that does not work, check to see if this file APSDaemon.exe is the problem here.
Close your iTunes.
Press Ctrl-Alt-Del key and choose Task Manager. In the "Processes" Tab, select the file APSDaemon.exe and click End Prosses button, then close the task manager window.
Now open itunes and see if it is working?
If that works, to prevent having to do the same process everytime you restart Windows, go to. START button, type in
MSCONFIG
Hit ENTER
Click STARTUP Tab, Uncheck "Apple Push", click OK.
Restart Windows.
3. If that fails or you don't see ApsDaemon.exe in the Processes, refer to following article to remove SC files:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2363
4. If that fails, repair or reinstall your Quicktime. START / CONTROL PANEL / PROGRAMS N FEATURES / hightlight QUICKTIME and click REPAIR. -

I have 4 1 gb chips that I have been using for 2 years without problems. I reset PMU, I zapped PRAM, NRAM, removed Airport card, used compressed air to clean the insides, reseated all RAM chips, repaired permissions - and nothing changes. I removed all peripherals and nothing changes. It always starts the 2nd time, so I can still use it. I need to know what is causing a First Startup freeze at the Grey screen, but again, 2nd start is good. I am a Recording Engineer with a ProTools HD rig, so I can't afford to take the computer out to repair, as I am in the middle of a Project. Just want to know if anyone has seen this issue before and dealt with it?
Very grateful for all of the replies! Disk Utility showed no errors, I replaced the battery last week, with a correct replacement. No problems with Clock/Date. RAM has been reseated. Airport Card removed, etc. I will put in some new RAM as soon as it arrives to see if that solves the issue - and I glad that someone echoed that software testing doesn't always show the whole picture. I cannot boot in Safe Mode. Does this help get closer to the root problem? It's confusing that it always works on the second boot and never the first boot. Even later in the day, it has the exact same issues. It gets to the grey screen spinning gear and freezes - every first boot, all the time. 2nd boot is flawless. That's what I don't understand. What problem goes away on the 2nd boot? Sounds like a Power issue of some sort, but I've never run into it. Also - Chime almost never occurs on startup - so I can't do the PRAM zap while waiting for 3 chimes, because I don't get any. Does this help describe the problem?

Time machine only ever backed up the first time it runs immediately after I start up my computer after it has been shut off. All other back up attemps fail. Recently it stopped recognizing the icon for my external hard drive in the time machine dialog window where you select the hard drive to back up to, and turn on and off the time machine function. Now the external HD icon only shows up on the desk top but no longer in the dialog box. I just tried shutting the computer off and turning it on again and now the light is on, on the external hard drive but the icon does not even appear on the desk top.
The external hard drive is a 1TB Seagate. The drive still has plenty of unused capacity. I ran a diagnostic test on it. It said the disk needed repair but the repair function would not work. The message stated that it could not be unmounted and repair is not available because the disk can't be written to. The Mac OX utility said the disk can still be opened but can't be changed nor repaired. The external HD is not S.M.A.R.T. supported.
I haven't tried replacing the cable yet. Is that the next thing I should try?What Mac OSX version are your running ("iOS" as shown in your profile cannot run on a Mac computer)?

I have all thenecessary updates. I have switched over from a PC to Mac back in April and have nad nothing but problems adapting. I don't know why this worked the first time, and put my videos inti imovie, and now it doesn't recognize it at all. And the Mem card reader does work, because I just put the SD card from my regular camera into it and it downloaded those fine, it just won't take my movies!
Which sony camera? I have a Sony HDR-CX550 right now and have been able to use the SD card as well as connect the camera directly. I also had CX110 that work too. You may want to try to copy the complete top level folder from the SD card to the Hard drive, then try to "import from Camera archive" and select that folder.
