EXS24 searches for samples very long - SOLVED

I've discovered a solution for a problem with EXS24 under Snow Leopard 10.6.2. When you load an instrument to EXS24 it takes ages to load.
SOLUTION: disable your Windows partition from being indexed by Spotlight. To do so go to System Preferences, choose Spotlight and then choose the 'Privacy' tab an drag your Win partition to the window.
More details:
This can seem random at first as some instruments load ok and some not. Those which load ok have references to a proper disk and folder while those which do load but you have to wait from several minutes to an hour have references to an old or missing disk.

I have experienced missing EXS24 samples; many other people have had this problem. You sleuths have isolated it to Spotlight but is Spotlight responsible for the variations of problems that have been reported? Mine aren't slow but non-existent. Here's where we've been discussing it, among other places: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11089635#11089635. Any further help would be greatly appreciated.

OS 10.3 - Hub shows huge "message deleted" sign for a very long time

I genereally really like the 10.3 OS update, but there has been a change to the hub which is puzzling me:
When, for example, I open my email account in the hub, I get the option to show trash bins next to all messages so I can delete them more easily. Great!
If I do that, however, I get a huge sign "message deleted / retrieve message" (or something similar, my OS is in German) - and it covers one third of the display for a very long time (four seconds or so), making the feature super slow instead of fast. Because, if I want to delete the next message, I will have to wait for it to disappear. Otherwise I might retreive the deleted message and start from zero again. Most of the time I cannot even see the next message which I would like to delete as the pop up is covering two to three messages entirely.
The problem would be solved if a) the pop up sign were significantly smaller or b) it would not show up for such a long time.
Is there any fix to this issue?

Hi,
I know what you mean but I think for the moment it can ot be changed. JSanders has opened a feature request post.

I recommend you put this item there. Hopefully someone from BB reads it and changes it for the future.

Hyperlinks (a href) have been outdated for a very long time

I have felt that "a href" hyprlinks have been outdated for a very long time.
so much so that they should no longer be known to most developers (like frames and html based hyperlink maps)
the only thing they can do is cause a new page to load.
The event which causes this has to be a click (on an image, string of text or other compatable html object).
and the event itself has to be the loading of a new page.
by comparason by using javascript you can use ANY html attribute (Onclick, OnMouseover, OnMouseout ect) to trigger to event
or you can use ANY event listener to trigger the event.
You could also set these to only trigger under specific circumstances. (for example an onclick event followed by a mouse over at least 3 seconds later)
and the event which occurs can be anything
it could be a simple page change
or it could bea page change with a modificaton (such as a preloader displaying to hide the fact that the new page is loading)
or it could be a page change, or an animation, or anything else you can think of determined by an IF statemen
furthermore by using AJAX or JQUERY you can have an event which alters a database or SQL file or, in simple cases plain text file based on the users actions - and then determines the action it performs based on the content of the database or SQL file or text file
This coveres everything from very simple actions
to very complex dynamic actions which have an infininte range of possibilites
so
why are is a href still used?

I don't think any serious web developer can afford to make sweeping assumptions like this. Anchor tags are stable and 100% reliable on all platforms & web devices. It might surprise you to know that many people disable client-side scripts for security reasons. How will these people interact with your site?

Query running for a very long time

Hi I have a sales Query which is running for a very long time,
It is built on a multiprovider. The multiprovider gets feed from cube and DSO.
It is taking very long time to run.
I need to do some performance tuning can you please suggest.

Hi Ravi,
First maitain BW statistics for that query and after that go to se11 and give table RSDDSTAT. just check how many records selected in data base and how many records transferred.
according to this statistics create aggregates by giving propose aggregates by using statistics tables. after running a query check in RSRT whether the data is coming from aggregates or not.
do not exclude any selections try to include in query restrictions.
try to create secondary indexes.
let us know the result.

Corrupted Search For Samples and Hidden Garage Band Samples

in logic if you go to garage band instruments, strings and select basses staccato, it searches for the wrong samples for the instrument. how do i clear what ever searches for exs and garage band samples in logc? also those physical samples used in those garage band instruments are named for example
KBstac_downbow_fA#1.wav if you search your hard drive it will not find those samples. where do they reside? are they hidden and why?
so its a 2 part question. how do i reset searching for samples. i ran onyx on spotlight but i don't think logic uses spotlight to search for samples.
thanks

ok i found out that you have to modify search function to find those garage band samples. the problem i'm having still is there are some garage band instruments that are referencing wrong samples. how do i reset search function

Many Problems: System won't search, things taking very long time...

My G5 is having lot's of problems and I'm dreading having to reinstall the OS.
Problems:
The system won't search for files, either in the finder or in applications
The finder seems to get jammed up for long periods of time (I mean, like I can let it go for an hour and still be jammed.)
Applications like Motion run very, very sluggishly. I know that Motion is a monster program when it comes to Ram, but it's gotten worse over time.
Encoding in Motion seems to take a lot longer than it should. I've got a lot of experience encoding, so I know which files should take a long time and which shouldn't, there seems to be some problem.
I have run Tech Tool Pro (latest version) and the monthly disc utility stuff (repair disc permissions)
Anyone have any ideas that could help me? (I'll be sure and give helpful and solved points).
Thanks!
Alex

Hi, Alexander.
1. As a general check, run the Procedure specified in my "Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption" FAQ. Perform the steps therein in the order specified.
2. See my "Tuning Mac OS X Performance" FAQ for a variety of troubleshooting and optimizing tips regarding Mac OS X performance. In particular, see the "Troubleshooting performance problems" section therein
3. re: Search. See my "Spotlight tips" FAQ. You may want to rebuild the Spotlight indices for your startup disk (I assume the search issue is in searching your startup disk). I presume by Finder being "jammed up" you're referring to Finder during search. See also "After installing Mac OS X 10.4, the computer may seem slow and the fans may run more."
After you install Tiger, Spotlight begins indexing your hard drive. If there is a white dot pulsing in the center of the magnifying glass of the Spotlight icon, it is indexing. Clicking the Spotlight icon while indexing should tell you the status and provide an estimate of how long it will take before indexing completes. It's best not to do other work during the initial indexing.
If you've been running Tiger for some time, but the Spotlight icon shows it is indexing, then something may be amiss with your current index or your drive. Indexing is very resource-intensive.
More details on "jammed up" would help.
4. See my "Problems from insufficient RAM and free hard disk space" FAQ. If your hard drive is getting full, then, despite having 4GB of RAM, the system could be thrashing. This is discussed in the FAQ.
5. See my "Troubleshooting Startup and Login Items" FAQ for steps that might help you with this problem.
6. re: Maintenance. Repair Permissions isn't maintenance. See my "Maintaining Mac OS X" FAQ. It covers my advice on "regular maintenance" and dispels some common "maintenance myths."
Good luck!

GB Searching For Sampler Instruments

How do I get GB to search for (or, better yet, FIND) all my sampler instruments? When I double click on one of the instruments to get the track info, GB says, for example
"Grand Piano.exs":
Audio file
"024C0KM56M.wav"
not found!
Yet I know the exact folder/location of the file(s). So how can I get GB to look there and gather all the samples?
Thank you very much in advance for your responses,
Javier Calderon

Oh well. I figured it out on my own. For anyone interested in knowing, this is what I did: I simply took all my sample library files from the folder they were in and, with GB open, I dropped the entire folder in the sample library area of the app. It imported and organized them accordingly - which took a while since I have over 50,000 samples, but it worked.

Search for podcasts no longer includes category?

Hi! Could someone confirm that the categories (at least the second category, e.g., "Language Courses" where the first category is "Education") is no longer used to index podcasts? E.g., if I search for "spanish language courses" I get only 16 podcasts, which don't even include popular spanish language courses such as SpanishPod or SpanishPod101. I think this was different until very recently.
I guess the solution for podcast makers is to include the second category in the keywords or the description.

Roger,
thanks for your answer, but I believe that this is a different problem: SpanishPod and SpanishPod101 are among the top 15 featured podcasts for the category "language courses" and they still don't appear when I search for "spanish language course".
Hm, maybe the problem is a different one than I expected: when I search for "spanish language courses" (with "s") I get all the podcasts that I expect to get, when I search for "spanish language course" (without "s") I get only a small fraction. As far as I remember, the plural-"s" hasn't mattered before in searches but it appears to matter now. Maybe the allowed deviations of the spelling in searches has been lowered recently. Well, in this case the "problem" is less important than I thought.

Reporting solution for a very long report

Hi All,
We have requirement to print a very long report ( about 150.000 pages folio size, something like account statement ). Database server is in remote location, connected to report's client via 64 kbps VPN.
What is the best solution for such requirement ?
Some thoughts are :
- using Crystal Report / Oracle Report , display the report on browser and print it
- Query the data from client side, save the data locally and create report from it
or is there any best solution for this ?
Thank you for any help,
xtanto

Create an output file on the location where the database is located, zip it, and transfer it to the client. 150000 pages is an awful lot, but usually mostly spaces.

Hello, I am a newbe, and I need help. I have used WD for a very long time, since w95 I think.

I had a PC I coud not fix-all companies say-forget it! But WD sent me a Disk. And gave me instructions on how to fix. It was some deep PC stuff. Low level format or someother stuff like that. It took great work for me, but when I finished and it worked!!! I felt like I completed one of those calculas problems that took 5 pages just to get to the anwser!!
You can't imagine how itt feels unkess you have felt it!!
I am WD's biggest sales man in a store! And out-I have nothing but good to say about WD.
Enough of me--I have a WD external Dr. 750GB.
S/N [Deleted]
WD P/N WD7500H1U-00
There is much space that I can not controll!! This is very frustating as I do not have money to spend unnessaryly. I seem to remember haveing a disk to use with my new WD External Hard Drive. I have what I call 2 partitions. "H" and "G" They are both big. My "H" volume has 195GB, and my "G" has 292GB. That comes out to 487 GB. Where is the other 263 GB? I am sking for help here. It can't be that hard!
So any help is very much appreciated, I am at the end of my PC journey, and thats ok.
I don;t live in the getto. Its not Bill Gates turf But I will leave the PC's I have to the kids in the neighbor, Not a Lot, But it would be nice. I do not know what knid of ppl you are but I ask that the things I have said here will remain here .
No I did not proof read this, It just didnt feel

Hello,
It is possible the remaining space is unallocated.
Verify this in disk management.
If that's the case then you can create a new partition with that space.

1) Your inner joins are doing record selections that could be done on the Join's ON clause.
2) Look at your functions to see if you can get performance improvements using parameterized CURSORs & adding DETERMINISTIC to the definition.
3) Consider using WITH to first pull your data & then running your functions.
For example:
with
smiths as (
select *
from hr.per_all_people_f papf
where papf.first_name='Smith'
select *
from smiths
where trunc(sysdate) between effective_start_date and effective_end_date;
In general, pare down your data first. Whatever will restrict your data most, start with selecting that table/view.

How can I delete purchases from my itunes account that I DID NOT PURCHASE I have tried everything for a VERY LONG TIME please please help

I have had an iTunes account for 3 years. I have tried for at least two years to delete these purchases that I did not purchase off my iTunes downloads. I have tried everything. I took iTunes off my computer, redownloaded . I have tried deleting and removing them. I do not know how they got there but everytime I go to download anything these 8 purchases start to download. I then have to pause them all and back to the agganizing termoil of trying to delete them off my account. Can you please please help meI am beyond aggrevated because nothing I do deletes these things off, and I have tried for two years with no results but more aggrivation.

I would contact Apple Support either on the phone or via e-mail and have them check if they could remove these questionable purchases off your account.
There is currently no way to do this on your own.
And re-installing iTunes does not help as all the purchase info is stored on Apple's servers.

Why does my iTunes keep saying that my songs are not found? They have been on there for a very long time but now can't be put on my devices.

So I bought some new music on my iPhone. I put it on the computer so I could update my kids' iPods and while doing this I got a box that said it couldn't find some of my music. Then it took it off of the iPod and Phone. I also can't use some of the ringtones I bought. I don't understand. Now the things it can't find has a little exclamation mark by them.
I need help, I don't understand!!!!!

I posted this about two years ago so can't quite remember how I solved it.
I've got a feeling I had to completely erase my iPhone (losing a load of notes and music playlists !) in order to fix this problem. It was a bit of a hassle if I can remember also.
Sorry.

Unexpectedly ypdating for a very long time in the middle of the day while I am online in class. Can I time these events for the middle of the night instead?

instead of coming onto the site and allowing me to navigate, the Firefox site automatically updated and did a lon (more than 30 minutes) check on whether plugins were compatible. I cannot use your site if this is going to happen, as I cannot afford to retake classes.Need to be able to time maintenance updates and have the program ask my permission first.

To have Firefox notify you instead of updating automatically, change your setting here:
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > Advanced
On the "Update" mini-tab, change to "Check for updates"
