Front Row launches as background process when running second display

When I connect a second display, Front Row launches as a background process and hogs upwards of 90% of my CPU cycles. I've tried connecting things in various orders, but had no success in avoiding this.

try restarting and it will works. it happens to me some of the times or unplug your cable and plug it in again.

Parallel Processing when running in background

Hi
We have implemented a parallel processing solution using the Call Function Starting New Task Destination in Group format to split a large number of updates across an RFC Server Group.
This works well when running the ABAP in dialog, but when we schedule for background processing, the parallel processing does not seem to occur, we get a single background process.
Does anyone have any ideas why this may be occuring ?
Thanks
Paul

Paul,
Starting new task will start a new LUW in dialog process and not in background. This is the reason you are having a problem. While technically STARTING NEW TASK is used for parallel processing, you need to consider whether the program will be run in foreground or background mode.
In case of background, you need consider using multiple jobs via job open, submit, job close. This way you can initiate more than one process in your server group to do the work.
You will need to consider the # of background WP available and the # of WPs you can use for this program.
So if there are 100 WPs available and you can use only 10 at any give time, then you should schedule 10 jobs and then check the status of the 10 jobs before you can start scheduling the next jobs.
You can use the FM SPBT_INITIALIZE to check the # of WPs that are currently available in the server group.
Hope this helps.

SPM 2.1 datasource background activity when running report for first time

Hi All,
When I log into SPM and click New -> Report, the cursor changes to the timer icon before i drag in a dimension or run a report.
In SM66 there is an SQL read statement that appears to coincide with this front end behaviour.
Often this process times out in the front end with a timeout error and "time dimension value help failed".
Then if i go to create a new report again, a new tab opens, and it opens instantly and there is no SQL read statement.
Why is an SQL read statement occurring at this point before any data is selected?
Why does it take so long?
Many thanks for any help
Kind regards,
Neil

Hello,
We initialize the time dimension when the reporting console is opened for the first time. Sometimes depending on the load on your server , this could take a long time thus timing out. I would suggest you to look at the load on your java server. Also , check if there are any background processes running on the ABAP side. Also take a look at the timeout limit in Application Properties and see if you can increase this limit.This might help initially.
As mentioned , the time dimension is only initialized when the reporting console is opened for the fist time in a given session. This explains why you don't see such a behavior subsequently.
Hope this helps!
Thanks,
Madhav

Postprocessing - background processing - Still running!!!

Hi All
I think I am having a small problem with this task 'Postprocessing - background processing' during the Postprocessing Phase. Basically on previous runs, this task has finished quite quickly however during this next run it is taking hours. I have restarted this phase and it does not seem to finish.
I have checked SM66 to see if anything is running and there is nothing there. All of the other processes have finished successfully, just not sure about this one.
Has anyone had this issue before or can you give me an insight to what it is doing?
Thanks in advance
Phil

"Postprocessing - background processing" is not actually a task, it is there only to group the sub-tasks (from "Transfer of Number Range Intervals" to "Change Logical System Names"). When you execute it, it will run all the sub-tasks (in the Standard View this complexity is hidden, so you don't even see there are sub-tasks).
If the sub-tasks are all Complete then there is nothing left to do. It is normal that there is no State icon for that grouping task, or that Progress is 0. If you execute it again you are running all the sub-tasks once again (you probably received a pop-up to confirm that's what you wanted). In that case, the column "Exec No" in the sub-tasks probably shows that some were executed more than once (some are repeatable and some are not).
Hope this helps,

Front Row tiger problem [only works when iTunes already open]

Ok this has never happened before and don't know why its started to happen;
When I open up front row and go to movies,playlists or artists etc and click select, the little circling buffer symbol comes up and stays there. Nothing happens so I just have to force quit out of it.
But, if I already have iTunes open, and then open up front row, and can select and play anything from within front row.
Before I was always able to open front row without itunes already being open.
Then only thing that I thought could be contributing was that a few days ago I installed you control: tunes which is an iTunes controller that stays in the menu bar.
But even if i have this running or not, the problem with front row still persists.
I've repaired any permissions I had but still no luck.
Any suggestions??
running MacBook C2D 2.16GHz with OS 10.4.11
thanks, b.

I apologise but there IS a new .plist file in ~/user/library/preferences. Still no fix though.
I'm assuming its the first link I need because the second one is for leopard.
When I try and install the .pkg I get an alert that says:
'This software update requires a Macintosh with a built in IR receiver running Mac OS X 10.4.5'. I am running 10.4.11 and my apple remote is working just fine???
I had Remote Buddy installed, thinkng that that may be causing the problem, but after uninstalling that, the problem still persists.

Launch a background process

Hi!
In my web application when a certain button is pressed i need to launch a invisible background process while i continue using the application
What do you recommend me to do this?
Thanks!
T.

Couple of ways you can do this.
1 - Have the background process implement the interface Runnable. Start a new thread for this process. You can keep a reference to it in session if you want to monitor it.
2 - In a J2EE environment, send a JMS message to trigger a process.
Either of these will let control return to your servlet immediately, and you can return a response of "job started, check back later" to the user.

Front row and itunes turning on when apple tv begins

Why does my computer itunes and front row always turn on my computer when I start watching my apple tv? They play two different things. I start watching the apple tv and then my computer will start blaring my itunes library or will start a movie using front row. How do I stop this from happening?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Your remote is controlling both devices.
If you don't want to use a remote with your computer the easiest thing to do is just to turn the IR off. (System_Preferences/Security/General)
If you still want to use your computer remote then you must pair your computers remote with the computer AND the Apple TV remote with the Apple TV.
To pair a remote with a device hold down the menu and FF buttons together for six seconds or until you see a chain icon on screen (best take the computer into another room, or turn it off, when you do this)

Why does front row launch, Why does front row launch

Why my new Apple TV, I noticed that occasionally iTunes will start playing a random song while I am watching a video on AppleTV that is being streamed from my mac. I also noticed that Front row will launch. How do I get my mac to just stay idle and let the apple tv do all the work? This is inconvenient especially if I am trying to do work at the same time. I might add that I am using 10,6,8 and the newest apple tv available

I realized that every time I open front row empty "iTunes Music" folder is created even I have "iTunes Media" folder in use. Anyone have any idea how to solve this? I tried to remove Frontrow.plist files but that does not help. I think this could be related to this issue since it is not happening on my other mac which is not having any front row problems...

Background music when running slideshow

No matter what I do, when selecting background music for a photo slideshow, only one song can be selected, no artists, albums etc will allow the start of the slideshow. Listening to one song gets really old after the 3rd time around.

Unfortunately that is how it currently works - http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

Duplicate rows in Hierarchy Table created when running incremental load

I copied an out of the box dimension and hierarchy mapping to my custom folders (task hierarchy) this should create the same wids from dimension to hierarchy table and on full load does this using the sequence generator. The problem I am getting is whenever I run a incremental load instead of updating, a new record is created. What would be the best place to start looking at this and testing. A full load runs with no issues. I have also checked the DAC and run the SDE trunc always and SIL trunc for full load only.
Help appreciated

Provide the query used for populating the child records. Issue might be due to caching.
Thanks

Order that files are processed when running a batch script

I have a situation where I need to process a series of PDF document that reside within a single directory (Win7 OS). Since I am creating a sequence number the order in which they are processed them is important. In this particular case it is alphabetical. I have not been able to figure out what attribute Acrobat uses to determine what order to process, but it certainly is not name, date modified, date created or size. Does anyone know how Acrobat determines the order of files to be processed or how to control that? Currently my work around is to have the process ask which files I want to process instead of specifying an input directory. Then by selecting the last file first and holding the shift key selecting the first file to process, the documents are processed in the correct order. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

What you can do, although it's a bit of a workaround, is to split your workflow into 2 parts:
In the first you you save all of the file paths into an array using a batch.
The second part is a folder-level script which sorts the array, and then processes all of the items in it.
Of course, then you are limited to what can be done with a script. You can't use this method for OCRing files, for example.

How to stop a process from running and display a message

I have a button that inserts data into a table based on bind variable selected on the page. I would like to add code to that button that will check to see if certain data already exists in the table, for that bind variable, and if that data already exists, stop the process and display a message that says "you have already inserted that information - bla bla bla". If not, continue inserting. What would be the best way to do this?
Currently, the button is a plsql that inserts the data.
Any help or examples would be greatly appreciated!

Use a validation process for that. If the validation fails (data exists) the processes will not be run. If it doesn't then the processing will continue.

BDC-Not getting inserted when run in 'Display errors- (E)' mode

Hi,
I am doing a BDC for FS00 transaction through Call transaction method. The data is getting inserted into the table when i run the BDC program screen by screen through 'Display all screens - (A)' mode and is not getting inserted into the table when i run the BDC program through 'Display errors- (E)' mode.
What could be the reason for it?

If you have defined a non-existing screen or field, and error will rise and the transaction will be stoped....
When your working on 'A' mode, you need to perform an extra "Enter" button press to get rid of that problem....So you better check your Batch catalog and add some "Enter's" when need it -;)

ITunes Crashes When Launched by Front Row

Hey everyone,
If iTunes isn't running when I launch Front Row, I have some issues when I try to play its music through the Front Row interface. I can select "Music" just fine from the four-icon menu, but as soon as I try "Playlists" or "Artists" or anything, I just get the pinwheel to eternity. If I use the Force Quit keyboard shortcut, i'm immediately spat back to my desktop, where I'm informed that iTunes has unexpectedly quit. If I choose Reopen, though, it will keep quitting until I choose Cancel. Only when I open iTunes myself does the crash loop stop.
Help me! It's really, really annoying to have to make sure that iTunes is running every time I want to use Front Row. And it also sort of defeats the purpose of Front Row in the first place.
Thanks,
Jake

Just so you guys know - I just fixed the issue by clearing out the Scripts and Plugins folders in Macintosh HD/Users/myname/Library/iTunes.
I guess I'll add them back in one by one to see which caused the issue. I can't remember which scripts I had - I know there was iTunes-BPM and Art to iChat. Anyone have those? For visualizers I had Gaslight and iConcertCal.
If you had one of these, let's figure it out so we can let the developer know about this bug.
