Hour glass cursor remains after burn

After burning a CD, the hour glass remains (turning over every few seconds). It will not go away until the machine is rebooted.
This does not interfere with any application function. It's more of a nuisance.
Lawrence Hannon

I have the exact same problem. I have found that changing any aspects of the pointer settings will cause the hour glass to go away with out rebooting also. It only seem to happen after a CD burn. I also notice a box shows up for Visual Basics C+ but when you clikc on it the box leave and your left with the spinning hour glass. I am at lest happy to hear it is not me only

  • Making JButton not respond when hour glass cursor

    Hi,
    I know how to change the cursor to the hour glass one but what I want is that JButtons will not responds to clicks from an hour glass cursor. The JButtons should only respond to clicks from the normal cursor.
    Does anyone know how to do this?
    Thanks,
    Jim

    Below is a solution for JDK 1.4 without threading.
    In the event handler of ActionLock the following happens:
    1. disable the button.
    2. repaint the button using paintImmediately().
    3. perform the search.
    4. post an "enable button" event on the event dispatching queue using invokeLater().
    5. handle possible clicks during the search. They are ignored since the button is disabled.
    6. the "enable button" event is handled on the event dispatching thread.
    Three comments:
    i) if step 2 is not done the paint event triggered by disabling the button will not be handled until just before step 6. Visually the button will thus not appear disable.
    ii) if step 4 is not done through invokeLater step 6 is done before step 5, thus the clicks will start new searches.
    iii) focus issues are solved by making the button not focusable.

  • Blank CD icon remains after burning disk

    Hi all,
    When I burn a CD (with either the Finder or iTunes) the blank CD icon remains on the desktop even after the disk has been burned.
    For instance, if I burn, say, a Beatles CD using iTunes, the original "Untitled CD.fpbf" icon remains on the desktop, and under it another "Beatles" CD icon appears. If I eject the newly-burned CD, the "Untitled CD.fpbf" CD icon remains. If I insert another blank disk, another "Untitled CD.fpbf" CD icon appears. These icons don't disappear until I manually drag them to the trash.
    Is there something I can do to stop this?
    Thanks

  • Display hour glass mouse pointer

    Hi all!
    Does anyone know how to make the mouse pointer into a hour glass pointer? After clicking the "Load" button in the application, it takes a long time to display the contents. So I thought of informing the user that he has to wait for it to display the data.
    Anyone know?
    -KAren-

    try the following line when you respond to the button press:
    setCursor(Cursor.getPredefinedCursor(Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR));
    But don't forget - you need to change it back when you are done ;-) To change it back:
    setCursor(Cursor.getDefaultCursor);
    Hope that helps.

  • Cursor is changing into hour glass

    Hi,
    After displaying XML report cursor goes into waiting hour glass, I don't know what is the problem.

    Hi,
    What is the application release? What is the OS? Browser?
    Is this a standard or custom concurrent program?
    Any errors in the JRE/Jinitiator Console window?
    Can you reproduce the issue from different machine and/or using different browser?

  • Cursor remaining in the current item even after pressing Enter-Query

    We have an application running in 10g.
    We are getting similar problems in three forms of the application.
    In the form there are 2 datablocks which has a master-detail relationship.
    After the data for the first datablock is retreived, when I click on any of the items and give enter-query, the cursor remains in the same item.
    Ideally the cursor should move to the first item in the datablock after entering the enter-query mode. But it is not happening.
    This is working fine in the other forms. When i give enter-query, the cursor is going back to the first item.
    Only in these three forms, it is behaving differently.
    Expecting a quick reply...

    did you check if the items in object navigator have the same order as on canvas?
    in normal case the cursor goes to the first enterable item in block when entering in query mode.
    as workaround you can write your own KEY-ENTQRY trigger:
    ENTER_QUERY;
    GO_ITEM('YOUR_BLOCK.YOUR_ITEM');

  • After Lightroom 5.6 catalog backup, cannot open Lightroom (hour glass appears for a few seconds, then nothing happens)

    Cannot open Lightroom 5.6 after catalog backup (hour glass appears, then nothing happens)

    I found the solution to this from these thread Re: Photoshop CC opens and then closes immediately. What gives? and Re: Photoshop CC Crashes/Closes within seconds of startup
    I did it and it works for me So, I think I should share this so people who have faced the same issue as I can give it a try.
    Basically, Just uninstall the Photoshop and Creative Cloud, then rename the folder SLCache to SLCache_old. Restart your computer once and then re-install everything again. (CC and PS)
    It should work.
    Thanks

  • Cursors remained open after closing connection

    I am using OC4J 10g (Application Server) and Oracle10g DB. OC4J is maintaining the connection pool(com.evermind.sql.DriverManagerDataSource). I get the connection from pool and call DB procedure, then close resultset, statement and connection. It closes the opened cursors against resultset. But left some implicit cursors opened and never closed so cursor count is going to increase.
    If i dont use pool no cursor remained open and count is zero. It means the cursors of pooled connections are not closed.
    wait-timeout="60"
    min-connections="5"
    max-connections="100"
    inactivity-timeout="15"
    <property name="stmt-cache-size" value="2000"/>

    Hi Justin,
    Thnx for your reply and you're understanding is correct but the problem I face is when multiple concurrent users access the JSP page from which I'm actually calling the servlet to retrieve the image, the number of cursors being left open increases. As the load on the page increases (i.e. no of usesrs increase) oracle seems to have problems in garbage collecting the open cursors ... which eventually leads it to throw maximum cursors exceeded exceptions.
    Any suggestions ?

  • IDVD 08 - problem with scene selection tabs not working after "burn"

    I have a movie that is about an hour long (made in iMovie08 using mostly still photos). I wanted to have "chapters" -- but with that option gone, I used the Scene Selection option in iDVD08. This created menus with 15 scene selection buttons (I chose every 4 minutes). The menus were automatically created by iDVD and I did nothing to change them, except to type in scene info (two-three words).
    The buttons all worked fine on the computer, and I burned a DVD. The DVD worked great in my VCR player. I'd select Play Movie and it would go. I'd select Scene Selection and I'd get the menus for that. But when I'd highlight one of the scene selections and "enter" (select) -- it wouldn't go to that scene. I could go back and forth between menus, and could move around and highlight the scene buttons, but selecting would not start the scene to play. The movie played fine from start to finish, and the other remote features worked (stop, pause, menu, etc.).
    I went back to iDVD and chose a different theme (thinking maybe I'd inadvertently done something to mess things up. The only thing I did differently in addition to the new theme, was to add two small movie clips - and I rearranged the buttons on the menu (dragging) to get them positioned where I wanted them. So my first menu says "Play Movie". The second menu has: Play Movie, Scene Selections, Little Movie 1, Little Movie 2. Everything worked greated in iDVD. Then I created a disk image to view using DVD Player (rather than waste another DVD). Same problem -- only worse. This time I couldn't even highlight Scene Selection to get to the scenes' menus.
    Any thoughts on why I'm not able to get the "Scene Selection" buttons to work after a burn? Am I missing a step somewhere in iDVD?
    Thanks.

    I am not sure, but does your post concerning the problem, that all Remote Control function will work properly within iDVD'08 but after burning the DVD absolutely not with the RC of your set top DVD player connected to your TV?
    If this is it:
    Meanwhile I could figure out - after many nights of not been very productive and only working out on all the iDVD'08 problems - that **ALL** of the *7.0 Themes* have a major problem in generally.
    The following points are concerning iDVD'08 using any of the 7.0 Themes:
    - Complete deep freeze of your Mac under Leopard when rendering/coding/burning a movie which has chapters and you use movies instead of still images in drop zones. (LeopardiDVD087.0Themes)
    - Functions on remote control of your set top DVD player are not working correctly when making a movie with chapters. This is generally on Tiger and Leopard the same problem using iDVD08 with any of the 7.0 Themes.
    Quick and dirty workaround:
    You may avoid this if you simply use a 6.0 Theme or lower version of the Themes.
    But this is of course not the clue...
    It is VERY DISAPPOINTING, having software at such a low quality level deliverd by Apple. And somehow it looks like they DO NOTHING against it. No statement, no excuse, they really remain silent.

  • RoboHelp acting weird--flickering hour glass

    Here's a great Monday a.m. problem for you: I've imported a
    project from RH4Word into RH HTML. I'm now importing individual
    topics into a project I created in RH HTML. I opened both projects
    today, and the cursor appears as a pointer but, as soon as I move
    it, it becomes a flickering hour glass. Even stranger things happen
    when I try to scroll down the list of topics in the Project Manager
    pane...As soon as I release the left mouse button after scrolling,
    the cursor turns into an hour glass again, both vertical and
    horizontal scroll bars "flicker" (change in size, small to large to
    small, back and forth), and the project list goes back to the top.
    I cannot select a topic unless it's one of the first ten or so on
    the list (anything I can see without scrolling)!
    The scrolling problem only occurs with projects. I can scroll
    through the list of folders (Images, Multimedia, Style Sheets,
    etc.) just fine. These projects are large; one is about 300 topics
    now and the other is 1000. Is RH HTML having a problem with the
    project sizes? What size should the topics be? Any other ideas
    about what might be causing this?
    Lacona

    I have been having this problem for the last week with two of
    our projects. This has also happened previously in the last two
    months. I really believe for us the problem started when we decided
    to use RoboSource so two of us can work on the same project.
    RoboSource is not too great and caused us to loose work and have
    crashes a lot. Anyway, after we were convinced that the problem was
    RoboSource, we removed the projects from RS control. This created a
    new set of problems because RS did not release all the files.
    Long story short, with the projects out of RS, we had issues
    ranging from a project taking up to 30 minutes to load or not load
    at all, to once loaded every time you move the mouse the pointer
    turned into an hour glass and nothing could be worked on. Usually
    forcing us to Force Quit RoboHelp.
    After weeks of searching for solutions and not finding any,
    and weeks attempting to replace backed up files like the XPJ file
    and others. If we were lucky, we would leave it with the hour glass
    overnight and it might start working the next day. But after a few
    days the problem came back.
    Yesterday it occurred to me that it looked like the project
    opened but the hour glass was probably because it was looking for
    files it couldn't find. So I had this bright idea. I made a backup
    copy of the XPJ file and then I opened it using the Windows Notepad
    application. I noticed that the XPJ file called for 20 RH specific
    files to open. I checked to see if all these 20 files were
    available on the project folder. I found 17 of them but there was
    three that did not exist in the project folder. So I removed the
    lines asking for the three missing files and then closed and saved
    it. IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND
    DELETING ANYTHING FROM THESE FILES!!! YOU MUST BE SURE YOU ARE NOT
    ERASING IMPORTANT INFO.
    After closing and saving the file I opened the project again,
    it loaded in 45 seconds and it did the hourglass for about a minute
    or two, which I think it was updating the files. Then the hourglass
    went away and never came back. I closed the project and opened it
    again to confirm that it would work properly. It opened in 34
    seconds and no hourglass came up to delay anything. The issue is
    now gone on all our projects and they are working better than ever.
    I hope this helps anyone having this problem. REMEMBER TO
    BACKUP THE PROJECT BEFORE ATTEMPTING THIS...just in case it doesn't
    work as good for you...I only know of me doing this...

  • Implicit PL/SQL cursors remain open, causing ORA-01000 (Client 9.2.0.1)

    Hello,
    since migrating our system from Oracle Client 9.0.X to 9.2.0.1 (Windows XP), i am encountering troubles when calling a stored procedure from a Cobol-Program:
    after a while i run into a 'Maximum open cursors exceeded'-message (ORA-01000)
    The stored procedure returns a cursor (ref_cursor)
    When Executing the stored procedure, there are actually 2 cursors involved, in fact the stored PL/SQL procedure implicitely opens a child-cursor when doing a select within the PL/SQL.
    After fetching the result and closing the cursor in my cobol-program, it correctly closes the cursor associated with the stored-procedure, but it does not close the cursor that was implicitely opened by oracle.
    After a while i am running into a Maximum open cursors message, because those cursors have not properly been closed.
    Here's a simple PL/SQL package that illustrates the problem:
    create or replace package scott.SCOTTS_PACKAGE is
    type ref_cursor IS REF CURSOR;
    function GET_EMP(EMP_IN CHAR) return ref_cursor;
    end SCOTTS_PACKAGE;
    create or replace package body scott.SCOTTS_PACKAGE is
    -- Function and procedure implementations
    function GET_EMP(EMP_IN CHAR) return ref_cursor is
    MyCurs ref_cursor;
    begin
    OPEN MyCurs FOR
    SELECT EMPNO ,
    ENAME ,
    JOB
    FROM SCOTT.EMP
    WHERE ENAME = EMP_IN;
    return(MyCurs);
    end;
    end SCOTTS_PACKAGE;
    Here are some exerpts from my cobol program:

    Finally here's an exerpt from V$OPEN_CURSOR, after a few iterations:
    1 begin :b1 := SCOTT . SCOTTS_PACKAGE . GET_EMP (:b2 ) ; END ;
    2 SELECT EMPNO , ENAME , JOB FROM EMP WHERE ENAME = :B1
    3 SELECT EMPNO , ENAME , JOB FROM EMP WHERE ENAME = :B1
    4 SELECT EMPNO , ENAME , JOB FROM EMP WHERE ENAME = :B1
    5 SELECT EMPNO , ENAME , JOB FROM EMP WHERE ENAME = :B1
    6 SELECT EMPNO , ENAME , JOB FROM EMP WHERE ENAME = :B1
    7 SELECT EMPNO , ENAME , JOB FROM EMP WHERE ENAME = :B1
    8 SELECT EMPNO , ENAME , JOB FROM EMP WHERE ENAME = :B1
    9 SELECT EMPNO , ENAME , JOB FROM EMP WHERE ENAME = :B1
    10 SELECT EMPNO , ENAME , JOB FROM EMP WHERE ENAME = :B1
    11 SELECT EMPNO , ENAME , JOB FROM EMP WHERE ENAME = :B1
    As you see, there is only 1 cursor starting with 'begin ... '
    but there are 10 implicit cursors 'SELECT EMPNO, ... ' that have not been properly closed, nor reused by ORACLE.
    In our old configuration (ORACLE CLient 9.0.X), you would only see:
    1 begin :b1 := SCOTT . SCOTTS_PACKAGE . GET_EMP (:b2 ) ; END ;
    2 SELECT EMPNO , ENAME , JOB FROM EMP WHERE ENAME = :B1
    meaning all the other cursors have properly been closed.
    As a conclusion: the program correctly closes the implicit cursors when using a 9.0 Client, wheras the implicit cursors remain open on Client 9.2.0.1 (Windows XP)
    The underlying database can be either 8.i or 9, the problem remains the same.
    Finally here's a small Delphi code, using ODAC-components, that somewhat illustrates the same problem:
    procedure TForm1.ExecProcClick(Sender: TObject);
    var I: INTEGER ;
    begin
    FOR I := 1 TO 5 DO
    BEGIN
    SP1.StoredProcName:='SCOTT.SCOTTS_PACKAGE.GET_EMP';
    SP1.Prepare;
    SP1.ParamByName('EMP_IN').AsString := 'SMITH';
    SP1.ExecProc;
    SP1.Next;
    SP1.Close;
    SP1.UnPrepare;
    END;
    end;
    After each call to 'PREPARE', an additional implicit cursor remains open on the database. (using Oracle Client 9.2.0.1)
    On our old system (Oracle Client 9.0 or 8.X), the same program would not generate accumulating open cursors on the database
    Any suggestions would be welcome,
    Claude

    Cobol.. been many years since I last even saw some Cobol source code. Invokes all kinds of memories. :-)
    Since you found the patch, the advice is superfluous, but works. Close the cursor at the PL/SQL side, e.g.
    create or replace procedure CloseRefCursor( cRefCursor TYPELIB.TRefCursor ) is
    begin
      close cRefCursor;
    exception when OTHERS then
      -- if the cursor is already gone, not a problem
      NULL;
    end;In Delphi for example, one can subclass the class used for ref cursor calls and add a call to the above PL/SQL proc in the destructor. Or add create a standard Cobol close ref cursor section that does similar.

  • After burning to dvd, using idvd, movie stops on frame but audio continues

    After creating imovie which works perfectly, and also after trasferring to idvd works perfectly, i have problems when playing back dvd after burning to disc. The movie stops but the audio continues. I altered the clip but same thing happened in next clip after next burn. I don't think its a corrupt clip, but maybe something to do with WHEN it occurs in the movie. Any suggestions? After 4 goes and many hours burning I am stumped!

    Hi Tomma1
    And welcome to apple discussions. It's good you chose to use 16 bit audio for all of your source material. And assuming this is accurate info .... From what I can tell, you are doing nearly everything correctly. However let me ask you a few questions.
    1. Are you using the boot volume (the hard drive where iDvd and Leopard are actually located) to encode your dvd (yes/no)?
    2. More importantly, does the disc image also go out of sync when played thru apple's dvd player app? or does it only happen on the burned dvd-r?
    3. Are you using Verbatim Dvd-R or an alternate brand? if it's the latter, then for troubleshooting purposes while on this forum; please use Verbatim Dvd-R. (it helps us eliminate additional / possible variables). Thereafter feel free to use the media that works best for you and your mac.
    4. Have you tried an alternate encoding setting other than pro quality setting? and do you get the same results?

  • Hour glass showing instead of thumbnails when importing new photos

    I just started using Photoshop 10.  When I import photographs from my camera or from any other source, the thumbnails do not show in the catalog, I can only see an hourglass.
    If I click on the hourglass, the picture opens and the picture shows perfectly, so the file is there. However when I close the picture an d go back to the "show all" the thumbnails still does not work, it only shows an hour glass.
    This was not happening when I was using Adobe Photoshop 9 and I am still using the same Windows Vista computer.

      Try selecting the thumbnails (Shift+Click) or (Ctrl+A) to select all, then click on the top menu
    Edit à Update Thumbnail For Selected Items
    If that doesn’t work close Elements and delete the thumbnail cache by navigating to:
    C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Elements Organizer\Catalogs\MyCatalog
    In side the MyCatalog folder (or whatever name you gave your catalog) you should find a CACHE file:
    thumb.5.cache
    After deleting that file restart the elements Organizer and wait whilst it regenerates thumbnails.
    N.B. The ProgramData folder is sometimes a system hidden file, in which case please follow these instructions before starting.
