Frontrow left running @ 100% after returning to Desktop - bugfix required

Tonight my wife and I were watching iTunes TV Show Videos on our living room TV using her black Macbook with lid closed for about 4-1/2 hrs. I had downloaded these TV videos with iTunes on my PowerMac G5 and shared them to the Macbook. The Macbook was connected to the TV using the Mini DVI to video adapter and a sound connection from headphone jack on Macbook to the TV sound L/R inputs. The Magsafe power was connected all the time. The TV videos played just fine and we paused the Front Row periodically.
When we were done watching the videos I powered off the TV and disconnected the Mini DVI and the sound connections and removed the Magsafe power. I the opened the Macbook lid and the fans started to pick up and make a fair amount of noise.
I launched Terminal.app and launched top to see what was running and found Frontrow was running at around 100% cpu with its resident memory growing at an alarming rate. I watched this for about 5 mins and Frontrow climbed to just over 500 MB with the cpu use still at around 100% all this time.
I used the remote to see if I could get the attention of the Frontrow process that was using 100% cpu and memory bloating but to no avail. The rcd (remote control daemon) process did launch when pressing the remote's Menu button but it did nothing.
I then decided enough was enough and I quit the top display and issued a 'kill 508' where 508 was the Frontrow PID. Frontrow was killed and when using the Remote the Frontrow restarted as it should.
Thought I should post this Frontrow anomaly in case others may be wondering why their Frontrow doesn't quit as it should when returning to the Desktop mode.
I will also send feedback to Apple about this mis-behaving Frontrow.
Anyone else experience this Frontrow behaviour ?

I forgot to mention a couple of things.
The communication for sharing the iTunes TV Videos between the PowerMac G5 and the Macbook was via Airport Express which was located some 25 feet away from the MacBook and the signal strength was at max.
I was also running 10.4.7 on both the PowerMac G5 and the Macbook.
The Macbook is equipped with 2gig RAM also.
No other Apps were running with Frontrow on the Macbook other than iTunes for accessing the PowerMac's shared iTune's Video files.
There was one moment during watching the videos on the TV when sharing stopped. This was because the PowerMac was set to sleep via Energy Saver at 1 hour of zero activity. THis was resolved by waking the PowerMac G5 up and configuring it to never sleep.

Left Navigation Column non-clickable after returning from Compact mode.

I've noticed that my left navigation pane/column is non-clickable after returning/resizing back to normal from Compact mode. None of the icons can be selected (the navigation stops working). I can switch tabs; from Favorites to Folders, but nothing that lives in that column is functional. I am forced to either navigate to folder from the primary/top drop down menu, or restart Bridge altogether.
Anyone else?

In adobe reader app on iPad, I have a PDF document that added notes and comments to. Once I left the document and returned to it, the notes and comments were gone. Where are they? I clicked "save" and "done" buttons after I entered text.

In adobe reader app on iPad, I have a PDF document that added notes and comments to. Once I left the document and returned to it, the notes and comments were gone. Where are they? I clicked "save" and "done" buttons after I entered text.

The application auto-saves your input when you close the document. If you left the document, as you state, the notes/comments should have been saved and should have been visible the next time you opened the document with the Mobile Reader (note that if you are opening the document with another app such as Apple's built in PDF Viewer, things like notes/comments may not be visible). Also note that if you are doing an Open In... from another app (like Dropbox), the version of the document in Dropbox does not update; only the version of the document in the Mobile Reader is updated.
Would it be possible to send a video of the problem you are encountering to [email protected] so that we can try to help?

Left Over Files after Uninstall

IBM PC running Win 8.1 in Desktop Mode
I uninstalled PSE 8 several years ago and installed PSE 9. I now want to uninstall PSE 9 and replace it with PSE12. In addition PSE 8 still appears as being installed and if I select Uninstall A message appears stating that "This action is only available for products currently installed. However when performing the uninstall using a "Powerful" uninstaller over a 100 files referring to PSE 8 still remain on my computer. It seems that these files are slowing up PSE 9 start-up and after installing 12 I don't want both the 8 & 9 files in addition to 12 to remain on my hard drive if they are not necessary. I think there were also some references to PSE 8 in the registry also. I would like to know if it would be okay to delete those remaining files manually?
Thanks

If you navigate to C:/Program Files/ you can safely delete the folder called iTunes after uninstalling the software. iTunes intentionally leaves some library files behind so that if you update iTunes, or remove and reinstall it, you don't have to worry about having your library backed up or losing your files, or anything of that nature.
Microsoft offers an option called the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility, which is good for ensuring an application is completely removed from the computer after uninstalling via Add/Remove Programs. It is available for download at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
Launch it by going to Start > All Programs > Windows Installer Clean Up
Select the application you wish to remove, and then click "Remove"
Hope this is helpful

CPU runs 100% when logging with DAQmx using card 6229

Hi!
When I start a logging using DAQmx Analog Input the computer CPU runs 100%. This causes the problem that the computer locks and the subsequent steps in the program are left without computer CPU recourse. After the logging is compleet, 1750 samples/10 channels at 250Hz, the program runs on, but the loggfile is at that point useles.
I have instaled LV 7.1.1 and am using DAQ 7.4.
Anyone that recognizes this problem?

Power manager crashes after returning from standby mode.

I have a T400 2767 WU6 running Windows 7 Pro-64bit.. After returning from standby mode, power manager crashes (version 3). All the software installed is supposed to be compatible with win7 pro 64bit.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Does this issue appear from the beginning?
Possibly the OS was installed several time ago and now the registry entries are corrupt.
Therefore the system busy egg timer could appear.
Im not 100% sure it will help but possibly you should reinstall the whole OS
On the fresh installed OS all should works much faster

Error when running a report in Discoverer Desktop

All -
I run a report in discoverer desktop and got the following warning message: This sheet currently contains no data.
I generated the query by using the sql inspector tool and run the query in the database and, to my surprise, it showed the correct records.
I don't know what is causing this error.
I checked all items (in discoverer administrator) that are used in by report and everything seems to be ok.
Any idea?
Thanks,
Daniel.

Hi,
There could be many reasons for this, what is in the query you are running?. It could be a bug in your version, what version are you using? Does it happen with one workbook or all workbooks? It could be an NLS Language problem, check that the calculation USERENV('LANG') returns the language you are expecting in Discoverer desktop. It could be a problem with the context for your session, are you using an apps mode or database mode EUL?

Mouse stutter and UI unresponsiveness after returning from standby

Hi guys, after upgrading to Leopard the mouse pointer on my 15" MBP stutters after returning from standby. Weird thing is that this happens only after it was in standby for awhile, maybe 5 to 10 minutes. If I return from standby after a few seconds the stutter does not happen. I can only resolve this with a restart. This did not happen in Tiger. Is there anyone else experiencing this?

Well I had this problem. Did a fresh install of Leopard a week and a bit ago and it seemed to run much better. Set my machine up how I like it and it's back to how it was. I didn't setup my Dashboard right away so maybe your onto something. I'll have to try and force myself to not use it for a bit and see how it goes.
We should collect a list of 3rd party widgets as I think initially with the default 4 on display it was fine.
I've only got 4 other than the standard Apple supplied ones.
- iStat Pro 4.2
- TV Forecast 2.3
- Amazon Album Art 2.12
- Application Update 1.5.8
Now both iStat Pro and TV Forecast claim to be Leopard compatible. Amazon Album Art also mentions improved Leopard support was added in version 2.11. Application Update doesn't claim to be but seems to work fine. However I think this was the last widget I added and a few days after the others. I think it was fine with the other three so I might try removing it and seeing what happens.
Still I'd love to know what other Widgets you guys have. Maybe we all have the a similar one which we can narrow down to being the cause. Or maybe it's not 3rd party widgets at all but the Dashboard as a whole. Still I'm more likely to think it's a 3rd party widget.

Left Nav lost after clicking submit button in iView

Hi Community,
I created an APC called CreateOrder which implements AbstractPortalComponent. This component acts as controller. In doContent() method, It checks if the create order submit button is clicked or not, if no, it returns createOrder.jsp page, if yes, it returns createOrderResult.jsp page. Everything works fine except left navigation disapear after I click submit button createOrder.jsp and createOrderResult.jsp shows up.
by the way I can create a createOrderIview using the APC component, able to see createOrder.jsp page and have result page shows up.
Anyone know what problem here? any help/sugguestion are very appriciated.

Make sure your iView isolation mode is set to URL...
Cheers

I have an early 2008 macbook pro that is running slow after upgrading to lion. Is there anything I can do? this is what I have,Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Memory 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM.

I have an early 2008 macbook pro that is running slow after upgrading to lion. Is there anything I can do? this is what I have,Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Memory 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM.

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive may be failing.
Launch the usual set of applications you use when you notice the problem.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor 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 Activity Monitor in the page that opens.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Next, select the Disk Activity tab. What approximate values are shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec?
Step 2
You must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way as above. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Post the 50 or so most recent messages in the log — the text, please, not a screenshot.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out before posting.

Network issues after returning from sleep mode

I'm noticing this issue on T440, Twists, T420s, whether it's Windows 8, Windows 8.1 or Windows 7. Sometime around the end of last year and the beginning of this year, my users suddenly started reporting problems with the machines after returning from sleep mode. The network adapter (whether plugged in or using wifi), would show limited connectivity and would not connect to the internet until the machine is rebooted.
I've tried updating drivers, using system restores, disabling the network adapters from shutting down to conserve power, OS network diagnosis & network adapter resets, none of which has worked. Hibernation is disabled on all machines.
The only fix I have is to reinstall the OS over the top of the system and reinstall all updates. Looking for help with this issue.
Thanks!
Solved!

Imac 11,2 running slower after installing software updates

I purchased my imac 11,2 Sept. 2010. I recently downloaded my software updates that included airport utility, itunes and canon printer software update. Since these downloads, the imac has been very slow. Does anybody have any suggestions why my imac runs slower after software updates and what can be done to get my imac back to previous speed.

isis24680,
Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Did you run Disk Utility> Repair Permissions? Do you have your eMac in display-only sleep overnight, or use a utility such as OnyX, or otherwise ensure the Unix crom maintenenace scripts run? OS X 10.4.2 (in 7/05) included provision to force the maintenance scripts when sufficiently oberdue; it's possible you're seeing the Mac trying to catch up on a year-plus worth of maintenance.
Do you have anything showing in System Preferences> Others, especially anything that adds to the menu bar? You'll need to check that any add-on system utilities or background programs are updated to run properly under 10.4.6; a quick way to check is to Start Up in Safe Mode and see if performance returns to normal.
Open Applications> Utilities> Activity Monitor, show all tasks, and sort the list by CPU. Is their anything regularly showing up at more than say 15% of the CPU usage?
