This is usually indicative of a defective print cartridge. Suspect the black is low in ink or defective. Please check all cartridges.

Hi Bill -- thanks for your reply!
When I check the Document Properties on Acrobat I can see that the fonts used in the document (Cambria, Times and Windings) are listed as "Embedded Subset" in the Fonts panel. The machine it was created on did use an earlier version of OS X and an old version of Word, but it seems to have the proper fonts...

Many Flash vector objects on a page slows down responsiveness to freezes (Windows 8 IE 10 Flash 11)

Hello, I use Windows 8 Pro x64 on my Core 2 Quad, Internet Explorer 10 (desktop mode) with Flash 11.7.700.169.
When I'm on site with Flash vector animations which use some input controls (i.e. I can manipulate objects in the Flash frame with my mouse) it seriously slows down IE (scrolling, text input) down to freezes. It doesn't matter whether mouse pointer is over the Flash or somewhere else on the page but the more Flash frames on the page - the greater speed drops. CPU consumption by iexplorer.exe process on that pages is constantly around 25-40%.
Disabling Flash avoids the issue.
I did a clean install twice so it doesn't look like a specific installation issue. In Modern IE this is less noticeable but still persist.
Moreover, on the same machine I previously had Windows 7 Professional x64 with Internet Explorer 10 and Flash ActiveX 11.7.700.202 and did not experience that kind of problems.
I have tried Chrome and Firefox with the Flash plugin of the latest version and they were fine - no noticeable lags or freezes.
I did some more research and replaced ActiveX Flash files (Flash.ocx, FlashUtil_ActiveX.dll, FlashUtil_ActiveX.exe) both 32 and 64 bit with that from Windows 7 and then vector flash objects on the page did not show up but streamed objects worked well. I replaced Flash.ocx with Windows 8 version and vector ads showed up but lags came back as well.
Finally I replaced all files of version 11.7.700.202 with files of version 11.5.502.146 and suddenly they worked very well - no lags or freezes, smooth scrolling etc.
So the question now is how to deal with further Flash updates for Windows 8? Is there any way to find out what is the cause of lags and freezes in version 11.7.700.202 for IE on my Windows 8 machine?
My current config:
Core 2 Quad 9550 @ 2.83
GeForce GTX 580
8Gb RAM
256Gb SSD
Windows 8 Pro x64 + NVidia driver 320.18 + Flash 11.7.700.202
I.e. the page that causes huge slowdowns - www.stopgame.ru

<sigh> Try asking your question on a forum for the Flash Player - this one is for Director's Shockwave Player

Why is this page slowing down in Internet Explorer ?

The swapping of images is so slow on this page. Is this the SwapImage() function in Dreamweaver ? The reason I am asking is that all other browsers tackle this very well. So, if somebody has any idea why this is so I would appreciate it sooooooo much....

Thank you for anwering both of you :-)
It's a funny thing. I tried on both IE8 and 9 with slow swapping. A few minutes ago I uninstalled internet Explorer, and when I restarted, IE8 was still there, but now the swapping is fast and smooth...
Sorry for this, I can't provide much of an explanation....
Thanx

Printer deliveres 2 sheets. The first is printed, the second is blank

Greetings,
I have a 2007 HP LaserJet M1319fMFP multa purpose printer. It has been in storage for a while but is clean. Every thing works except this problem. It will be used as a stand alone printer in a church minestry. It now is connected to a laptop running windows 7. I downloaded all available downloads from HP for this printer and installed them. This did not help.
The problem is that when it is suppose to print 1 sheet , it in fact prints that sheet , cycles and feeds through a blank sheet.
This is done on all types of printing.( test page, reports-menu structure and from the copy function)
This happens every time it prints. I have done all of the suggested things to fix it and same problem every time.
Thanks for your time. I appreciate your help.
Regards,
w-bar

Hi @w-bar ,
I understand that you are having issues when printing a document or standalone test pages, a second blank sheet always follows. I will certainly do my best to help you.
Since you are having this issue also when printing the self test, I would update the printer's firmware. HP LaserJet M1319f Multifunction Printer Drivers. Select your operating system, click next, click the link for firmware.
Make sure the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. (don't use a power hub or a surge protector) This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.
Hard Reset: Power on/Power off (verify LED) Power cycle unit by switching the power switch off, wait for 10 seconds, then power on.
Please check your private messages for additional steps to try.
In the forum beside your handle name just click on the envelope to view it.
Have a great day!
Thank You.

Thunderbird downloads all my sent files on a constant loop and this is drastically slowing down my computer. Any ideas how to stop this?

IMAP email, windows 8, frustrated user!

If you do have a large email archive it may just take time to download all messages. It will take even longer if you do have a slow Internet connection.
When messages are downloaded Thunderbird also indexes them for full text search, which may cause some additional CPU load.
You can disable both, downloading messages for offline use, as well as message indexing.
How do you determine this is a 'constant loop'?

Web page browsing speed drastically slowing down

I purchased a 13 inch mac book pro in December. Since day one, I have had a problem with my web page browsing speed drastically slowing down. These crippling slow down periods are completely random. They can start any time, and last from any amount of time. from minutes to hours.
95% of the time any attempt to load a page end in a time out. The other 5% takes no less then 90 seconds to load the simplest of pages. I have this problem no matter what browser I use (Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera). What is driving me nuts is other applications work fine when browsing slows down. Skype, IM clients, multi-player games all work great, but web pages will not load. When I ping a website, my latency returns are perfectly normal. I can use Telnet and SSH with no problem.
This has become such a problem that I can not depend on using OS X day to day. I used boot camp to setup a windows partition and installed win 7. Using my win 7 install everything runs perfectly, I have had zero slow down!
I've done some searching and found numerous posts with similar problems. Ive read and followed the advice that I found, but I've had no success is fixing this.
I have had this problem on 6 different wireless networks. Each time this problem has come into play, my windows install performs flawlessly. This really makes me belive this is a software problem. Not hardware / ISP.
I see alot of post blaming default ISP DNS servers, just to let everyone know I use google's open DNS on my home network.
I also have changed the DNS settings in OS X
All other machines on my home network have zero problems!
Sending files between my laptop and other machines on my network works perfectly.
I have found a few posts / guides for using OnyX, none of them have worked for me
I have to be missing some simple thing here, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for the welcome and the quick response Glynn
I rebooted into OS X as soon as I read your response. Web pages would not load.
I followed your instructions.
The Airport Light was green.
I went ahead and hit assist me and ran the diag tool. According to the tool my internet connection is working correctly.
Sadly the problem persists and web pages still will not load in all four browsers.
I ran a ping to google.com and responses were well under 45 ms.

Query slows down after second run for Index Organised Tables

We are trying to optimise our application which supports MSSQL to run with Oracle 9i for one of our customers.
We have created one database with normal tables and PK constraints/indexes and turned caching on for the tables, this seems to work well but no way as fast as MSSQL on similar hardware. The first run of query was slower but as the caching became more effective the query times came down.
So we investigated turning the tables into Index Organised Tables. We ran analyze on the new indexed tables and the response time of one of our more complex queries became akin to MSSQL. We ran the same query 5 seconds later and it took about 3 times longer to return the same data. Subsequent runs produced the same result.
We have run the same query on both styles of tables and also run showplans on the two queries, the regular table returns a cost of 190 and the IOT 340. This would point to the fact that we should use the regular tables for our queries but why did the IOT set return much faster for the first run after the analyze then slow down as if the stats were missing, but the execution plan remain the same.
Any help would be appreiciated.
Darren Fitzgibbon

could be a lot of reasons:
1. Is Oracle the only process that runs on this server? Could it be any other process (i.e. MSSQL) that took the the resources during the secodn run?
2. Is this the only query that was running during your tests? Could there be another query that put the load on the database when you were running the second test?
3. The autotrace statistics and explain plan would be useful for first and second run
(how to use autotrace:
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96533/autotrac.htm#1018
4. If you run the same process again several times - how does the response time change?

Duplex printing second side upside down

I believe there is something in my InDesign file that is causing a few of my files to print the second side upside down. My files are vertical (portrait) layout/setting with the two sided option on long-edge binding. I don't think it is the printer because only a few files have this problem, and I just got a new printer and the same files are still printing the second side upside down.

How do I fix a Safari application that slows down and freezes everything?

Apple called last fall and said my particular Mac had a hard disk problem and they replaced it at the Apple store in late January 2013. I backed up the information on an external harddrive and used Time Machine before to transfer all the information to the new drive. Everything worked well and I finally put on Mountain Lion at 10.8.4. I also have Carbonite as a backup and it apparently was not enabled when I transferred the files until early May. In early May I had not used my iMac for about a month and when I started it I found about 40 named file folders on the Desktop that were empty. Some of those had named items in them but when I clicked on them they would dissappear. The actual files did exist and were not effected when I dumped the apparent alias folders. Safari started and would be ok at first but if I went away for an hour it would slow down. I took it in to the Genius Bar at Apple and they ran some tests and got rid of MacKeeper which they felt was causing the problem. I got my Mac back home and it still started slow but worked well at first and then started going slow. If I opened Word it would also start working at a slower speed. I needed to force quit Safari and the Word progran in order to quit or restart the Mac. I got an appointment for the next day and they ran all sorts of tests and the hard drive was working normally. They tried tweeking different areas and sent me home again. When I started working again it did the same thing, I would start out fine and eventually slow down and needed to be force quit to get out of it. A message came up indicating my MasOSX startup disk had no more space available for applications memory. I took it in a third time and the Genius went to the Activity Monitor and the Safari PID was 221 and %CPU 107, Threads 21 Real Mem 2.73 GB, Virtual Mem 22.00 Kind, Intel (64). I had no idea what that meant. I went home again and it still ran slow and couldn't run the programs for any length of time before it ran slow and affected the other programs so they would only quit if I used Force quit. I took it in for the forth time an they decided to keep it overnight. They ran ASD first to rule out memory. They noticed during the appointment the computer was slow to perform normal tasks such as showing boot options, booting into user, bootingto external user. If the ASD passed then they would perform erase and install and only restore users and application files from backup drive. They did this on Wed and Thur. night and I took it home Friday night, June 14 and it still has the same problem. Typing this message right now means typing and waiting for the words to appear.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Triple-click the line of text below to select it:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' | open -f -a TextEdit
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). A TextEdit window will open. Post the contents of that window, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
{ sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|org\.(amav|apac|cups|isc|ntp|postf|x)/{print $3}'; sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook; } | open -f -a TextEdit
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}' | open -f -a TextEdit
Step 4
ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null | open -f -a TextEdit
Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' | open -f -a TextEdit
Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal.

H.264 Conversion/Video is slowing down

I am trying to export an edited short video from Final Cut Pro 6. It was edited in HDV 1080i60f format. For some reason, when I export it using Final Cut's Quicktime conversion and select H.264 with all the settings I need, the final exported version keeps slowing the same piece of video down, and everything else looks fine. It slows down at the end of the first part before the first cut is made. Any idea on what could be causing this? It does not do this when exported in HDV or DV format but H.264 is the format i need to export it in

I think .WMV is still the leader when it comes to internet Video Delivery... second only to Flash.
http://www.adobe.com/products/player_census/flashplayer/
The Windows PC is still the prominent Computer out there. Remember that the Windows Media Player ships with all these PC's. Therefore your .WMV 9 files will play on the majority of Computers in circulation. You may just be opening up a fresh can of worms by changing over to H.264... or merely creating unnecessary work.
I'm curious... if your .WMV's are good quality & size... why are you looking at swapping over to H.264?

Internet speeds keep slowing down to a crawl

I'm having a problem that has only developed in the past week which was during a time when I haven't changed any configurations in that period of time since my son was born a week ago yesterday and I obviously had more important things to do than mess with my network configurations. However, about 2 weeks prior to his birth, in the process of configuring a baby monitoring system with icam source, 3 weeks or so ago, I read that I might be able to improve my internet performance, I ran googles namebench a couple of times and added and re-ordered the DNS servers that had been listed prior to any problems developing based on its' reports. My internet speeds improved as a result of changing those DNS settings and stayed good until the past week. But of course, we now need to use the computer as part of our baby monitoring system and it's not working worth a **** and I'm getting frustrated since I can't put my finger on the problem and I don't really have time to spin around in circles right now. I'm sure it's probably something simple and I can't put my finger on it though. Sleep deprivation is new to me.......
I've kept running log of notes so this is a little deshoveled but I figured the more information I provide the better the chance someone might help me get this solved quickly.
In the last week, since my sons birth, my internet speeds would be okay after restarts and resetting everything, 2.5 Mbps or so but after a 10-15 minutes it starts to slow down to .2-.3 Mbps. I went thru all my network settings, restarted everything, repaired permissions, I've changed ethernet cables reset PRAM, firewall is running, stealth mode enabled, allow signed software incoming connections and my various other programs such as netsessionmac4f3c6b, skype, java, itunes, etc.
All sharing services off and pretty basic login items at startup including growl.
I had AT&T come out and check my DSL line and everything checked out on their end up to and out of the DSL modem based in their equipment tests.
The problem seems to start when I connect my imac (a fairly loaded 27" imac I got in Dec.) First off, as soon as the imac is connected to the modem via ethernet, the old ethernet modem flashes and continues to flash, even right after startup. So the tech thought something was running in the background and I can't figure out what. I looked through login items but don't see anything that would be a problem and am afraid to eliminate everything.
So I created a guest account to eliminate any login items (I think) and in I got 5.69 Mbps right off the bat. But after a minute or two, without changing anything my download speed slows down and I get for example .77 Mbps. The same thing happens with my administrator account on the imac. Fast speeds at startup and more importantly if I change the configuration by switching between ethernet and airport, I get fast speeds right after changing the configuration but after a minute or two I am well below 1.0 Mbps. I've got several network configurations with automatic, airport and ethernet set up in different ways including a clean ethernet connection with the original DNS settings.
I haven't set up an airport only account but that really isn't the way I want to hook up the computer that sits right next to the modem and runs my network. Restarting the old modem and direct connecting the computer to the modem results in the same thing happening.
I connected my ethernet from the (old?) modem directly to my ancient powerbook G4 and I got +5.6 Mbps download but it also slowed down to 300 kbps after 5 minutes or so the first time (old modem?)
Now to explain why I have "old?" listed above. I was then able to get a new DSL modem from AT&T, hook it up just fine, get enormously faster internet service in the 5,000 kbps only to have it slow back down to around 300 kpbs after connected for several minutes.
directly connected to imac-bypassing router
3,500 kbps
after 15 minutes-250 kbps
connected to imac thru router/time capsule with airport extreme
2500 kbps
after 15 minutes=166 kbps
directly connected to an older powerbook G4 with new modem
IP address of 192.168.1.64
5.65 Mbps on speedtest
after 15 minutes=5.67 Mbps
after 30 minutes= 5.59 Mbps
1 hour-5.66 Mbps
Very solid, stable readings for what I am used to. This would seem to isolate the problem to the imac.
directly connected to imac with new modem
IP address of 192.168.1.64
5.8 Mbps on speedtest
after 30 minutes= .60 Mbps-ping takes 250 ms
1 hour= .46 Mbps-ping takes 250 ms
Now a problem that only started last night after I hooked up the new modem and started up my old Time capsule/airport configuration, I got a message that said something to effect of "another device on this network is using computer IP address 192.168.1.64. So I tried manually changing last digit of the IP address on the computer to one number higher and it kept saying the start and end range were incorrect so I shut the airport station down since when it was connected, it would not allow the computer to connect thru the router via ethernet. I did a hard reset on the airport and I got it back up and running just fine but the internet speeds on the imacs' ethernet connections are so slow it's practically worthless. I also checked to see what was connected to my airport on any given occasion, 2 iphones, 2 pads, another imac running upstairs and a newer powerbook running icam source that is supposed to be the baby monitor. Except for the laptop everything can use "802.11n" but the powerbook only connects via 802.11g so I have set the airport to that limiting setting.
Any suggestions? Is there a way for me to log what is happening so I can report in more detail?

First thing is to check if the wireless is on a sensible channel: HomeHub doesn't always make sensible choices. Install inSSIDer on your laptop and see what other devices there are around and if there is any clash. Also, try moving the HomeHub around a little, even quite small differences can make a big difference to wireless signals.
You could run an ethernet cable from downstairs to upstairs. Easy to do, but can be a bit unsightly. If most of your devices are upstairs, you could use this cable to connect the modem to the HomeHub. If you have devices both up and down, you may want to keep the HomeHub downstairs and add a switch upstairs.
HomePlug may be suitable for you. If you search Amazon for HomePlug you will see a couple of kits for just over £30. Don't go for an 85Mbps one. A 200Mbps such as the TP-link or D-Link should be much better than wireless, but not as good as a cable.
Depending excatly how many devices you want to connect and where, you can pay more and have a builtin wireless at one end: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Devolo-1408-Wireless-N-HomePlug-Adapter/dp/B00472MMCQ/ref=sr_1_15?ie=UTF8&qi... Or it may be best for you to use the basic devices and add an old wireless router in switch mode.

Slow down issue with Premiere CS4 on a Mac pro

I am having a similar slow down issue with Premiere CS4 on a Mac pro, but I don't have bloated prproj file size.
Here is what I am working with:
Mac Pro intel quad core 2.8ghz
OSX 10.6.7 Snow Leopard
6Gigs RAM
3TB storage between 4 drives, each drive with about 50% free space
I am editing a 10 minute HD video from avchd files. The edited video is very heavy in photoshop files with a variety of different fx including green screen. The system has slowed down to almost a standstill. Anytime I move the playcurser, or try to do any action, it displays the spinning top "thinking" icon and takes 15 seconds to several minutes to unfreeze. I am often forced to force quit and I have gotten unexpected quits several times. The program also freezes on startup frequently.
No other programs are running. When I export with media encoder, it took about 4 hours to complete. The last 4 or so photoshop images I added seemed to tip the program over the edge. It had been slowing down some, but those last few really dropped the processing speed. Before those additions, export took 30 min to 1hr.
I did delete the render files (did not check if the file size was bloated beforehand, oops) but it has not significantly affected my performance.

Do you need all of those extra pixels in the stills? Are you panning the full 4976?
Two things to consider are that if you using, say a 1920 x 1080 Sequence Frame Size, you can only see that at any time, regardless of how large the images are in pixels. If there are extra pixels, i.e. the Pan is not using all 4976 pxls., I would Scale to just what you need in PS, prior to Import.
If you are doing any Scale in PrPro, its Scaling algorithms are not as efficient, as those in PS. [Note: CS5 and 5.5 are a major improvement on that statement.]
With many large stills (the max for CS4 is 4096 x 4096, if there ARE extra pixels, pushing those around will use up resources, and quickly. As a test, some years back, I was working on a "photo wall," and was using 4000 x 4000 images. The workstation had no issues with slowness, until I got to the 5th large still. By the 8th, the Project was too slow to edit. I had to wait for everything. Luckily, I have AE, and it handles large stills much more efficiently, and much differently, than PrPro. I just moved to an AE Comp, and completed the Project, finishing up n PrPro, after I Exported from AE.
Just something to think about. With Scaling in PrPro, this is one time, where bigger is not necessarily better.
Good luck,
Hunt
