E-load - Playing back a Scenario with a Specific Execution Order

Hi
I have a doubt about scenarios in e-load: is there any way for a Scenario to run in a defined order?
For example.. In one scenario I have 3 User Defined Profiles (UDP1, UDP2 and UDP3), is there a way to make the scneario playback the UDPs in order? (for example UDP3,UDP2, UDP1) or them just ran rancomly?
Thanks a lot

Juan,
The autopilot tries to schedule at least one virtual user of every profile to be started every ramp-up. It's not neccessary random, but depending on the number of vusers in each profile you may not get a new profile user started each time. It is not random, and the same scenario will start the same every time.
To answer you question about how to start sequentially. You are correct there is no direct method. What you may be able to do, is edit your User Defined Profiles and insert synchronization points in each. For instance, In UDP1 name a SYNC1 syncpoint and insert as the last item in the UDP, and then in UDP2 name a SYNC2 syncpoint, ect... This is only one thought. How many virtual users are you planning to run of each profile?

I Tunes will not play play back files ripped with Handbrake on 10.6.8 Server

I have hundreds of files ripped with Handbrake that play back fine on my Mac Mini and iMacs and Macbooks connected to a server running 10.6.8 (the files are stored on the server). However, when I try to play the files with iTunes on the server machine itself, I hear volume but get a blank screen. The problem seems limited to mv4 files ripped with Handbrake, as my MOV files will play fine on the server.
Any ideas? I tried loading Perian (latest version) on the server machine but it did not fix the problem. Same blank screen.
Just to add, movies download from iTunes (M4V type) have the same issue - blank playback on the server. Only the MOV file plays. All of these files will play when Quicktime is used as a player, just not with iTunes.

My approach to this problem has been to start by setting up the new os x 10.10 servers and just two os x 10.10 clients. I've plodded through setting up the server1 and client 1 and then checking that server2 replicates correctly and client 2 can be deployed and managed via DeployStudio and Profile Manager. At the moment I am using client 2 for my own day to day work to ensure I spot snags before the students do.
Once I happy with the microcosm I've created, it's a matter of syncing /Users on the old and new servers with rsync and telling DeployStudio that the hundred or so clients that are currently running 10.6.8 and are binding to 10.6.8 servers need to be re-imaged with the workflow that client 2 is currently using. (Actually I'll probably do one client per subnet first before hitting the 'Make it so!' switch.)
The most laborious part of the migration for me has been recasting MCX preferences set with Workgroup Manager as 'profiles'. I have never been happy with automated migration for servers. Setting up a server is not particularly difficult and you end up with a clean and documented installation that you understand fully that uses current methods and no legacy settings or obsolete hacks.
I've no idea whether this is the most efficient or best method, but it feels safe to me; even after deployment, until I shutdown my beloved Xserves for the last time I'll be able to roll the whole system back to 10.6.8 within a couple of hours if something goes wrong.

Podcast plays back via server with iTunes but wont subscribe?!

I have 4 Podcasts on the iTunes directory, the problem is that you can click on one and play it but when you try to subscribe by pressing the subscribe button there is always an error. Has anyone else had a problem like this? I've tried validating the feeds but that never worked so here they are in their original form. if someone could fix one I could copy and paste for the other if its an XML thing.
You can find my Podcasts on the iTunes Directory by clicking this link (there are 4 of them, I've included all the feed urls for completeness below)
http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZSearch.woa/wa/com.apple.jingle.search.Direc tAction/search?submit=edit&term=leftcut&attribute=collection&media=Podcast
the URLs for the actual feeds are as follows,

Can someone PLEASE help, you really need to get the bottom of this with answers, I can't figure out what is going wrong. Its very urgent that I find out what's wrong and fix it as its part of my final year degree!
thanks

I believe your issue is related to your XML files. They do not validate as RSS feed...many errors.
Use this tool to see what the issues are and correct them:

Bypass scenario with a specific file naming schema

Hi,
I am working on a bypass scenario where I pick a file from FTP location with naming conventions SCOS2UVMS_.TXT and place the file at other location with the name USED_Car.TXT.
Now I have to place this file with the Date and Time Stamp as DYYMMDD.THHMMSS.
How can I achieve this?
Thanks & Regards,
Sachi

Hi,
U can bypass the Integration repository steps and pass a file from 1 locatio to other.
U need to configure only the Integration Directory. In all the objects (sender agreement,Receiver determination,Interface determination,Receiver agreement) just give the interface name as dummy and name space also dummy.
Means u just give a arbitary interface name and namespace,which doesn't exist.
Then run the sender communication channel and check in target directory.
This will work fine....
But i think its nt a good idea to use SAP PI, for the just sake of transferring the files from 1 location to other.
U can schedule a batch file,and move the files b/w two locations.
I hope this will solve ur problem..

Sounds with fades not playing back consistently

Have other people encountered this, and maybe found a fix or workaround? The new fade tool seems to be extremely buggy. Sound chunks with fades on them only seem to play back fades some of the time. Very often the part with the fade doesn't play back at all, with the sound starting abruptly at the end of the fade. This happens even on the simplest sessions, and seems to happen often on bounce/export, even if the sound usually plays back fine in the session.
This is a huge problem, it makes the new fade tool pretty much completely unusable.

Thanks for responding. Sorry I had forgoten the link.

I'm not using edgecommons. I'm using buzz! for the sounds.
Checking other threads on sound was very helpful in getting the sound set-up. I've been unable to find a thread about sounds not playing after upload except certain formats not playing in some browser. That shouldn't be my issue since I have the sounds in multiple formats, but I'm obviously overlooking something so...

Playing back audio - can I slow it down and also lower the pitch?

For old-time's sake, I have recently recorded a bunch of old cassettes of me and my mates larking about 20 years ago. The idea is to transfer them to digital format.
However, the cassette recorder we used ran slightly slow, and so when the tapes are played they play back slightly fast with everything at slightly too high a pitch.
I recorded each side of each cassette on a pair of mono tracks in Logic (as there is a noticeable difference in the volume level on the left & right tracks, which I want to correct).
When bouncing to a stereo file, I want the project to play back slightly slow, so it corrects both the speed and pitch issues of the original recordings. The question is - how do I do this? Reducing the tempo setting makes no difference!
I've just installed Logic 9 and Flex Mode looks very useful for reducing the speed of audio files... but it doesn't appear to also lower the pitch.
Can anybody help, please?

Aha! Sussed it!
Click 'Follow Tempo' in the inspector on each track. This activates the Transposition function in the inspector. I've reduced the tempo by 20bpm and set Transposition to -2 on each track.
Hey presto, no longer do me and my mates sound like we had been drinking way too much caffeine two decades ago!

Help please? Logic playing back wrong sample rate

So I created a new session and recorded a new song that I have already done some work to this song and have had no problems whatsoever. Last night I went to open this song and work on it some more and when I pressed play the song started playing back very slowly. This session was recorded at 88.2k and I am getting a Logic error message that says sample rate 44.1k is recognized however my audio interface (a Metric Halo 2882 +DSP 2d unit) is set correctly to 88.2k. I look at my bin and all the files are correct, my preferences are all correctly set at 88.2k but Logic is playing the song at about half speed!!
What happened?? I have a couple projects going and I need to get this fixed.. Anyone??
Thank you in advance!!
DDD
Mac Book Pro Dual Core, OSX 10.6.8, Logic 9.1.5 (do not want to upgrade Logic to 9.1.6 I tried that and it was a BAD experience so Im sticking with 9.1.5), Metric Halo MIO Console 5.4

Sounds to me that your best bet is to use a utility like SoundHack (http://music.ucsd.edu/~tre/soft//SH893.hqx) to change the audio file headers. What you want is to flag the files as 48k, not do any sample rate conversion--they should play back natively at 48k. The only SRC you'll need to do is if you actually do want the files to end up as 44.1k at some point. (In your case, I don't think Logic is converting the sample rate in real time, by the way--what it's doing is playing back the files with a clock setting of 48k, which only sounds right because they've been mis-labeled.)
Either way, you should fix the file headers now, I think. And even if your final product needs to be 44.1k, since your files are quite clearly at 48k now, I'd do all the necessary editing and processing at 48k, then convert to 44.1k as the final step. And until the SRC in Logic is improved (Apple ?), maybe use some other app to convert to 44.1k in the end. Peak gets high marks--not sure what else out there sounds good and doesn't cost a mint.
Best luck!

Premier pro play back screen goes black a freezes every 15 minute . This is my second mac pro with identical problems.

SOLVED!!!!!
SO I did some more digging around and read ATI cards seem to overheat easily. I knew the fan was working, but after closer inspection I realised there was ALOT of built up dust on the card and clogging the fan and airflow. Blew it out with alot of compressed air, stuck it back in the Mac and BAM...no black screens. I tested it by streaming 6 video sources...doing 2 screen captures at once as well as watching a HD movie in fullscreen. Did all this for 30 minutes and no crashes. I also downloaded an app to monitor the temps inside the computer and the expansion bay stays at 41 degrees. No clue what it was before but obviously it was hotter than that. So my problem is solved! Funny that 10.7.5 made the card work harder. I wonder if its off loading some CPU stuff to the GPU for processing more than 10.7.4 so its just working a bit harder and so it heats up faster....

Spry Image Slideshow with Filmstrip IE8 Play/Back/Forward Arrows Problem

Please help me. I'm using the Spry Image Slideshow with Filmstrip widget on my web page: http://new.radcal.com/accugold2.html#sensoroptabs. In Firefox, Safari, Internet Explorer 9 it displays properly but in Internet Explorer 8 the gray Play/Back/Forward Arrows automatically appear on the Viewport (main large slide area) when the page loads and they do not go away, ever. Whereas in the other browsers these arrows only show up when I move my mouse into the viewport area and go away as soon as I take my mouse off the viewport area.
I need the arrows to behave in IE8 like they do in IE9, Firefox, etc. I do not know javascript but I imagine there is some javascript code that could solve this problem. Does anyone know of a solution? Please help me...

Here's the exact scenario with it: 1) Ipod connected successfully to iTunes. 2) Drag song from Library(in AAC format) to My Ipod. 3) Song plays successfully in iTunes. BTW: This is one of the songs from my cd. Not bought. 4) Eject Ipod. 5) Find song in

Here's the exact scenario with it:
1) Ipod connected successfully to iTunes.
2) Drag song from Library(in AAC format) to My Ipod.
3) Song plays successfully in iTunes.
BTW: This is one of the songs from my cd. Not bought.
4) Eject Ipod.
5) Find song in Ipod and press play.
6) Display for song and time appear.
7) About 1/3 of a second of the song plays, then it cuts out and restarts itself. (boots me back to apple logo)

Nope - and it was set to not look for them.
The final clue came when I tried hooking the drive directly to the computer, instead of to the airdisk. iTunes still hung. Then I disconnected the drive and tried to run it, and iTunes came up right away - but with an ! next to each song. Clearly it was trying to find/touch every file in the library on first startup.
I didn't try plugging in the drive and leaving the hanging iTunes running for more than a few minutes, so it's possible that it would have recovered and launched. But after removing the XML file, restoring the library to my pre-7.7 version, I could hear it accessing the directly attached drive (and see it in disk activity in the monitor) for a few minutes (less than I'd left the hanging one trying), before it came up.
Conclusion:
1) 7.7 is definitely trying to touch/see all the files in the library on first launch (proved by the ! when they are missing).
2) Disconnecting/interrupting the touch/see MAY have corrupted something (can't prove it).
3) Since touching 10,000 files takes a LONG time even at 802.11n speeds (let alone b or g), it's worth the hassle to plug the drive in directly for the first time.
4) Patience is a virtue

I cannot get the videos I shot with my iPad 3 to play back on my PC!

I have been uploading videos I have shot with my ipad 3 over the last year by hooking it up to my PC and just dragging and dropping. I recently went back to play a video and realized that they don't play back properly! The image skips, is slow and doesn't fully playback! If I send the video through email its just fine. I am so afraid I have lost all of the videos that now live on my PC because I have deleted them for room on my ipad. I am now out of memory again on my ipad because I am too afraid to move and deleted them! I even tried down loading an app to transfer the video wirelessly to my PC with the same outcome.
How can I fix this and are all my old videos lost?

is your problem that they don't play well on your pc
or that
you have lost them?
you can always sync them back to your ipad by adding them to itunes
the build in gpu of the ipad does hardware decoding of the format the ipad record in so
if the pc is older it could be the reason it does not have the power to play it back without poor performance

I have recently upgraded my iMac Intel G5 iSight to OS 10.6.8 and now the internal mic does not work with skype or facebook. I can here static when playing back clips. Do I need to update firmware or reload old sys parts

I have recently upgraded my iMac Intel G5 iSight (iMac5,1) to OS 10.6.8 and now the internal mic does not work with skype or facebook. I can here static when playing back clips. Do I need to update firmware or reload old system parts. I have zapped PRAM. The blue indicator in system audio panel will appear for a second as I slide the bar for internal mic but then it disappears. Is there a fix?

The sound seems very faint but can here static on playback.

I have copied my iTunes library onto a new computer, but when I play back the songs there seems to be random "miss" or "drop out". No probs with old computer, just the new one. I'm onto my third new computer - same problem. Any suggestions please?

I have copied my iTunes library onto a new computer, but when I play back the songs using the new computer, there seems to be random "miss" or "drop out" during play back, similar to a small scratch on a vinyl record. Although when I play the same song over again, the "miss" occurs in a different location during the song. No probs with old computer, just the new one. I'm onto my third new computer - same problem. Any suggestions please?

You don't say which version of iTunes you are using, but the symptoms you describe have been encountered by some users with the 64-bit version of iTunes 12.1.
There is an alternative version for 64-bit editions of Windows here:
iTunes 12.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards)
that seems to address the most of the playback issues that some users have been reporting with the full 64-bit version of 12.1.0.77 - including problems with Bluetooth speakers where either sound is degraded or completely absent. The alternative installer here is the same architecture as most previous "64-bit" versions of iTunes, i.e., a 32-bit application with a 64-bit installer. The "for older video cards" label appears to be something of a misnomer as some people have reported that this corrects problems found on current / high-spec systems.
Some users have reported that after installing this alternative version it is necessary to adjust the "Play audio using" selection (normally to "Direct Sound" rather than "Windows Audio Session", though this may vary based on your audio hardware/drivers) in Edit > Preferences > Playback to restore glitch-free audio (one part of the reported symptoms is that the "Direct Sound" choice isn't available, usually in Windows 8). It may also be necessary to ensure that your Bluetooth speakers are active and selected as the default audio device before you run iTunes.
If this doesn't address the issue, you may want to think about reverting to iTunes 12.0 - see Turingtest2's notes on Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for steps needed to completely remove all installed iTunes components, and for links to the 12.0 installers.

You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup. If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup. You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone. However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.

Can't get sound to play back on Movie Maker when recording with internal webcam/microphone

I have a Windows 8, 64-bit Envy notebook. I tried using Google Hangouts but there wasn't any sound (the camera was fine).
Later, I decided to test the internal microphone myself by creating a Movie Maker file, and clicking on Webcam and making a recording. The camera worked but it played back in total silence.
I checked the settings for the microphone and the internal mic was properly set as the default. I turned up the volume to the maximum. Then I found directions for doing a sound check, and I was able to do the Sound Recording check and get audio when I played the file back.
But when I tried again to make a video, i got zero in the playback.
Any idea what's going wrong?
Thanks,
Pat
