Hercules DJ Console Rainbow Multi Coloured Disc Program Freezing Up

Hi
I recently purchased a MAC to use in conjuction with the Hercules DJ mixing console as i am a full time professional DJ. On the whole i find that the MAC meets all my needs however i am having a slight technical issues which have disrupted two of my recent gigs and caused me to revert to a cd back up system.
What is basically happening is that whilst i am using the Hercules mixing system which is powered via USB2, within the software there is a facility to search for music which guests may request during a gig. This is in the form of a search bar and results appear on the screen, it can be used whilst using the mixing software.
However, on both occasions, whilst searching for music requested by guests, the multi coloured disc has appeared and the software has frozen which has resulted in me having to force quit the software which is not ideal during an event.
I have also experienced this happen with several other programs on the MAC (Even Mail).
Has anyone experienced this or does anyone know why this is happening and a solution to the problem as i have lost a bit of confidence now in the MAC and may revert to another brand if i dont resolve the problem. Thanx in advance for any help.

Welcome to Apple Discussions:
Since you say this happens with mail, and other apps, it's probably not related to your Hercules system directly.
When you run the Mac by itself, with everything else unplugged, do you get the spinning beachball much?
You may need to run the disk utility and repair the HD and the permissions.
It's also possible that some 3rd party SW you may have installed is causing the problem. Be sure all 3rd party SW is fully compatible with Leopard and has been tested with the latest versions.
Check your console logs for information about this, and also run the Activity Monitor to see if something is taking up a lot of CPU ticks.

Have a multi coloured circle which is making system slow - what can I do to resolve this?

Hi, I have a multi coloured circle that keeps coming on the screen making moving around my mac incredibly slow - any suggestions on how to remove this annoying thing?
Many Thanks
Vanessa

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive may be failing.
If iCloud is enabled, disable it.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse, and monitor, if applicable. 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.
☞ If you’re running OS X 10.7 or later, 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?
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.

Multi-coloured text in table cell

I have a table where individual cells can have multi-coloured text. To do this I use html when I set the text in a cell renderer. It works fine. However, when the column width is too narrow for the text then the text is wrapped. If the text is not html then the text is not wrapped.
How can I keep the different colours but make sure the text is not wrapped?
Thanks

I never want the text to wrap even if the column width is too small for the text.
If the text of the renderer was set to abcdefghijklmnand the column is only large enough to show the first 10 chars then the user (obviously) would only see the first 10 chars.
If I now set the text to <html>abcdefghijklmn</html> then, assuming the column is wide enough, the user will see all the text but cde is shown in red.
However, if the column width is now changed so there is only room to show the first 10 chars then the user will only see abcde not as I would hope abcdefghij

MBP strange flickering blocks of multi-coloured lines on screen

Hi
over the past few weeks when awaking from sleep my MBP 13" (mid-2012) has had this problem <a href="http://s1204.photobucket.com/user/sjwhite26/media/IMG_0035.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1204.photobucket.com/albums/bb404/sjwhite26/IMG_0035.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo IMG_0035.jpg"/></a> i.e. blocks of multi coloured lines flickering on the screen.
You can use the machine, but its incredibly annoying and and reboot gets rid of it. My issue is that it is happening more and more. I also have the issue when the MBP won't always wake from sleep when using the mini display port attached to my screen. This is viewable on the laptop's native screen as well as the dell screen.
Any help would be appreciated. I've tried all the PRAM etc resets.
Thanks

Let the battery full drain. After charging for at least an hour try again. Include thises suggestions as necessary.

Multi-threaded server programming

Hello, I meet a problem and don't know how to solve it: I have created a multi-threaded server program which receives multiple users from their own PCs. The server program receives users'commands and echo it back to all users who are currently connecting to my server. I store every clientSocket connecting to my server into a vector. My question is: how the server broadcasts a user command to other users? And how the server knows to which user he will echo the command to since the hostName and port number are the same to every user currently connecting to my server? Thanks a lot.

You should look at extending the Socket class to encorporate user details. Either use what peter suggested or make the user pass a username (or something) when they connect.
When you want to broadcast to all users just enumerate through your vector and send each one the command. If you mean the user performs a task on their application and you want to produce the same results in all the other users apps then its down to you to code it. When user1 clicks on a button the app must send a command (eg. a string) to the server which sends the same string to all other users. When the user receives this string it performs some task.
Is that what you mean?
Ted.

NiScope EX Multi Record vi program

Hi,
I have a question in niScope EX Multi Record.vi program. I was not explaining it well in my previous mail. That is why people can not answer my question. This time, I will explain clear.
Attached "abc" is my prgram with niScope EX Multi Record.vi prgram. This is my question. How come I can not get the waveform when I do the same action in the seond time? Here is how my prgram work. First, I press "reset" push button, the light will go off and press it again the light turn off. The prgram do nothing, just reset the value of the voltmeter and current meter. Second, I press the "enable" button, the voltmeter and current meter get reading since I have a subprgram under timeout in the event structure. Then, I press the "enable button" again to turn on the light. Third, I press the "bark button", my hardware will be shocked and output waveform, since I have a subprogram, niScope EX Multi Record.vi, I set the right parameter, I will get the "shock pulse waveform".
Everything looks good and working. Then I press the "bark" push button again to turn the light off. I want to do the same action the second time to see if the waveform of niScope EX Multi Record will generate again because normally I tried the same action the second time. the waveform will generate again. Here I am talking about I use the niScope EX Multi Record.vi prgram without anything and event structure and I did the same action as what I said in the above procedure. But, I did the same action in the second time in this "abc" vi program with niScope EX Multi Record. vi prgram, I could not get a new waveform, I don't understand why? could you please tell me what I did wrong? my niscope EX Multi Record.vi prgram is out of the event structure, what I see is like this prgram is alone just like the one I tried without event structure before. I am not sure if this single prgram mixed with event structure, it will be what? will it be different like I put two subprgrams in one block diagram even though I tried two subprgram put it together and it will work what it suppose to do. I am not very sure if ni scope EX Multi Record.vi prgram mixed with other prgrams with event struturem, what will happen? Will it be the same like two subprgram put it together? Could you please tell me exactly what if I put niScope EX multi record.vi with event structure including another program, what will happen? I would like to understand.

Hi Nyborn,
The changes of the graph color are controlled by the Waveform Graph property node on your block diagram. In the niScope EX Multi Record.vi example the Plot.Fill/PtColor value of the waveform graph property node is connected to a random generating number which changes the color on every execution. If you want to assign just one color, remove the random number vi and just wire a acii constant for the color you'd like. You can find listing of all acii color codes here.
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Natasa

Frozen Itouch with multi-coloured horizontal lines

On 1st January 2012 since 3am Sydney Australia time the Itouch now shows 1 cm of pixel thin - multi-coloured horizonal lines. Pressing the sleep and menu buttons for 30 seconds does not power the Itouch off.
I had recently upgraded the itouch purchased 1 year ago to ios 5.01 - is it related to the upgrade?
Is it related to the date?
Please help....what can I do....all I can think of is to let the battery run flat...

Thanks IIIaass I really appreciate your reply.
When I followed your instructions. After connecting the Ipod to its syncing computer it did not see it....and I also could not put it in recovery mode - by holding the two buttons at the same time.
...after about an hour of displaying the horizontal lines the battery went flat and the screen turned off and finally showed somed something different - the battery symbol.
I then put it on the ipod dock and it now works properly.
Thanks so much for your help.
In summary if anyone notices:
that the reset buttons don't work, just let the battery run flat (rather than put the ipod on its charging dock)
....and stop playing with the ipod when it warns you the battery is low

Screen flickers with multi coloured lines... then dies

I really hope someone out there can help...
My iphone is only a couple of months old (bought it first day of release in Australia) and now it is starting to break down.
When i press the home key, the screen flickers and has these strange multi coloured lines accross it. Then sometimes it will then restart on the apple logo.
Is there a fix, or do i need to send it back? Will they replace it on the spot?

Page 34 iphone users guide:
"If something is not working right, restarting or resetting iPhone will likely solve the
problem.
Restart iPhone: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears.
Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and
hold the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears.
Reset iPhone: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the
same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Desktop covered in multi-coloured, pixilated pattern

I've read other threads where people seem to be having the same problem I'm seeing, and the screen shots look identical. I am not convinced it's a hardware issue in my case, and none of the solutions I've seen recommended resolve the problem. Due to reasons which become apparent in the description below, I'm convinced the problem is NOT hardware related.
The Environment:
I'm maintaining 3 college computer labs (well, 3 Mac labs, I won't mention the PC's); I manage the client side, a co-worker manages the servers; The Mac labs currently hold approximately 100 iMacs, 2 different models, both models are intel, but two model years apart; ALL clients are running 10.5.5, HOWEVER, the servers are running sever 10.4.?; All authentication is done through Active Directory on a Windows Server 2003 based, multiple-domain network; student home directories are network-based on 2 xserves; Approximately 300+ Mac-based student users; We are using AFP, not SMB;
The Issue:
Aside from the expected (constant) issue of corrupted preferences, I've had two students experience an odd graphic problem: Seconds after logging in, the entire desktop region of the GUI is covered in a pixelated, muli-colored pattern. Sometimes the aliases will be uncovered, but usually are. Usually the dock remains free of the pattern, not always. Usually the menubar is mostly covered by the pattern, not always. It is still possible to interact with aliases and menu selections, if you know where to click, and the area immediately around the interface item 'clears'. Grabbing and dragging a window around the desktop will (for the current session) clear the pattern. If you click on the Apple icon in the menu bar, and drag to the right, the pattern is cleared of the pattern. If the user logs out, their next session repeats the problem of having a pattern cover everything.
The problem exists for those users alone and follows them from computer to computer, regardless of which model they are logging in on. Other students can log in on a specific computer immediately before, and immediately after, but only those two specific students would get the pattern over the desktop. The problem seemed to go away for ONE student, as mysteriously as it started. This second student just started having this "frost effect" today. (I don't know how else to describe it, it's as though the desktop was covered in multi-coloured, electronic frost which scraps away when you drag an object around the desktop).
With both students, I've tried deleting their saved preferences and cached info from their libraries, but this has no effect, the "frost" returns at their next log in.
This is more of an annoyance than a liability, but I would like to be able to resolve this problem for the student if I can, and for any future students that run into this same issue.
Any advice or suggestions would be most appreciated.

I must not have found that thread (it's hard to find accurate search results for "weird pattern"), I'll check it out, thank you.
BUT... I can't update the OS version for the images in mid-semester. We've had other issues that we specifically addressed with 10.5.5 over the winter break. Without extensive testing of 10.5.6, my manager would serve me on a platter to the Board of Governors. If it was fixed in a version update, I'm stuck with it until May. Thank you for your reply though.

Every time I open iPhoto, the program freezes, showing me the spinning rainbow of death. I always need to perform a Force Quit. I have updated my software, but that did not help.

Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/">iPhoto Library Manager</a> and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

After startup screen goes multi-coloured and then restarts.

I started up my mac pro into windows today, a few seconds after it had loaded my desktop the screen went multi-coloured and then it force re-booted.
Anyone know what could be causing this? Will booting in safe-mode help, if so how can this be done on a mac?
Thanks in advance.

It could be a graphics driver issue, or a hardware issue. I can't say for sure without access to more information. I would suggest performing full diagnostics testing, and if you are still under Apple Care, schedule an appointment for a Genius Bar and have them run some tests. If you are no longer under warranty, they should still run the tests for free, but you would have to pay for any repairs.

Multi-coloured flashing screen on play-back

I download movies from my camera via Picasa 3 and have no trouble viewing them in Picasa, but when I try to play them with QuickTime in My Pictures, or if I burn them onto a CD and try to play them all I get is a multi-coloured flashing screen while it plays. The colours are very pretty, but not what I want to see!! The sound is fine. I have installed QuickTime 7, but no change. I have been downloading movies and copying them on to CDs and playing them OK for about five years. This problem has only occurred within about the last year.

I am so very grateful to you. This has been driving me mad for ages and it's difficult when you don't really have the faintest idea what you're doing! Took me a while to find the Quick Time Control Panel(!), but now all my video clips are playing fine. Thank you so much.
