Hour glass problem

I am able to change the cursor to the Hourglass prior to a long running process like so :
setCursor(Cursor.getPredefinedCursor (Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR));
Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().sync();
Problem is that the cursor reverts to it's default state when the cursor is moved off the Applet or I switch to another application. This gives the impression that the background task has finished, when it hasn't.
Please can anyone tell me how to prevent this.
Hopefully simply as I'm only just a starting out Java programmer !
Thanks
Rajesh

Are you actually sure that the cursor must be an hour-glass when it is not over your application?
In my opinion, the cursor should express the state of the application that you are using and not the state of the system and all of its applications as a whole.
That said, I am not sure that a Java application can take control over cursors in other applications (e.g. Microsoft Word, if you are running Windows).

  • Problem with freezing and hour glass comes on as if updating every 10 minutes or so and lasts for 52 seconds or more.

    When I am on a site, any site, or writing an email every ten minutes or so, the hour glass comes on and I cannot do anything but wait. I think it is updating something. How can I stop this?

    Updating to Firefox 8.0 might do it, unless there is damage to the places.sqlite indexes, anyway this is the fix, and I actually option (same as all options).
    freezing at regular intervals: http://blog.bonardo.net/2011/09/30/is-your-firefor-freezing-at-regular-intervals
    : https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/places-maintenance/
    :<br>Install add-on, run at least the option mentioned in the article, I ran them all. When finished you can uninstall the extension, all without taking taking Firefox down, The extension is one of the new JetPack extensions.
    Thought I was having that problem right now, but it's my anti-virus scan, usually ties things up pretty much.

  • How do I fix thumbnail problems when there is an hour glass?

    I have Premiere Elements 10 and when I edit a new picture, I get an hour glass on the thumbnail of that photo.  When I click on the thumbnail I do get the picture, but until I do that all I have is an hour glass on the thumbnai.

    garydenni
    What computer operating system are you running Premiere Elements 10 on?
    Where are you when you see this hour glass...in Elements Organizer 10? To get the picture, are you right clicking it and selecting Update Thumbnail?
    How much RAM do you have installed on your computer and how much is available? How much free hard drive space does your computer have and is it all confined to the Local Disk C, not supplemental drive(s)?
    What are the pixel dimensions of the photos involved and how many of them do you have in the Elements Organizer 10 if that is where you are in the program for what you describe. What is the format of these photos, jpg, tif, .psd, other?
    More later.
    Looking forward to your follow up.
    Thanks.

  • Explorer hang & right click hour glass

    Windows SErver 2012 R2 terminal server. All clients having the same issue. When right clicking an icon on the desktop to bring up menu (cut, copy, paste, etc.) or right clicking from Explorer the system goes to an hour glass. I have downloaded and ran
    the Microsoft scanning tool and nothing was found on the server.

    CrispyCritter,
    Start Windows in Safe Mode and see if the problem persists. 
    Problems when right-clicking an element in Windows Explorer are often caused by faulty context menu handlers. 
    You can get ShellExView to see which shell extensions are installed and disable them one by one to find the culrpit:

    Also try running a Anti-Virus scan on the system and see if you can find something.
    Hope this helps.

  • PSE 5.02: Catalog cannot be opened (hour glass)

    Please help me:
    I have a big problem: A rather new Vista PC, PSE 5.02, rather big catalog (18MB). PSE has frozen (no reaction, only hour glass). After I killed PSE I restarted it. The PSE Windows shows up (without any pictures) and again immediatly PSE is frozen (no reaction, only hour glass).
    If I open another catalog, there is no problem. So I think, the original catalog has some problem. So I started PSE with CTRL pressed, and the catalog was repaired. But even after this repair, PSE freezes immediately after opening the catalog. Has anybody an idea?
    Any hints are appreciated!
    Best regards,
    Thomas.

  • Hour glass instead of photos

    down load fuji hs10 but now thumbnails show hour glass and not pic. click on houg glass and it opens. never happened before. using camera for 3yrs and no problems. any ideas
    (thread title edited by forum  host)

    Try selecting the hourglass thumbnails (Shift+Click) or (Ctrl+click) then click on the top menu
    Edit >> Update Thumbnail For Selected Items
    If that doesn’t work close Elements and delete the thumbnail cache which sometime becomes corrupted.
    Go to My Computer and click on local disk C and follow the path to the My Catalog folder.
    C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Catalog Folders\My Calalog
    Inside the My Catalog folder (or whatever name you gave your catalog) you should find a CACHE file:
    thumb.5.cache
    Highlight that file and delete it.
    After deleting that file restart the elements Organizer and wait whilst it regenerates thumbnails.
    N.B if you can’t see Application Data when you click on the All users folder, it may be a hidden system file. In that case click on Tools >> Folder Options and then select the View Tab. Click the radio button to show hidden files and folders, then click Apply and then OK.

  • No preview for imported photos any more (just an hour-glass?) Elements 9 Org

    up until last month my photos showed up as normal thumbnails but I must have changed something?? Anything I import into PS Elements 9 Organizer is blank, only shows an hourglass. Can someone please help??
    Thanks,
    Jeff.

    Hi,
    First of all, this is a user-user forum and although some employess do pop in from time to time, Adobe don't monitor this one.
    It could be that your problem is not that common which is why you haven't had any other replies.
    It is possible that your thumbnail cache has become corrupted. Here are some suggestions for fixing the problem: http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshop-elements-faq.htm#_Recrea te_Organizer_thumbnails
    Can I assume you are using Windows?
    Have you tried right clicking on one of the hour glasses and selecting Update Thumbnail to see if that one gets generated?
    Good luck

  • How to recover from "hour glass symbol"

    Hi All,
    I have logged into Oracle and Discoverer several times today and every time when I'm running a report in Discoverer, it quits responding. This is after I already have the data, and I'm scrolling to the bottom of the data to get the next 10,000 rows.
    I just get the "hour glass symbol" and then i basically have to shut down and restart my computer.
    Please advice what can I do.
    Thanks,
    Kamal

    Hi Kamal,
    I get the same problem sometimes in Discoverer Plus. However, I only have to use task manager to kill my discoverer application and can then log back into disco verer OK. I don't have to restart my machine.
    The only answers I have come up with are:
    1) Use Discoverer Desktop instead
    2) Be very careful scrolling down through lots of data. Try paging down by clicking on the scroll bar instead.
    At least you know you are not alone....
    Regards, Ruth

  • Hour Glass in Organizer 9

    I keep getting hour glasses where the pictures should be in the organizer.  I've resinstalled PSE 9 and still have the same problem.  I see others have had the same issue -- all unresolved.  I have a phone appointment with adobe tomorrow, but I would love some help today.
    Thanks so much. 
    Stacy

      Hi Stacy, Yes you will need to import again although Organizer only makes links to your folders and photos
    Click: File à Catalog
    Click the New button
    Give your catalog a name e.g. My Catalog2 (or whatever you prefer)
    Check the box Import Free Music - that will bring in the Adobe MP3 tracks used in slideshows
    Then click OK
    When the new catalog opens click: File à Get Photos and Videos à From Files & Folders
    Navigate to your root folder (normally Pictures or My Pictures) then press Ctrl+A to select all sub folders
    Click Open or Get Media
    Wait for Elements to complete the import, accept all keyword suggestions (select all) and then wait for thumbnails to finish generating.
     

  • My ipod 4th generation is stuck with hour glass spinning ,I cant shut it off or do anything nyone know what to do?

    My ipod touch 4th generation is stuck aand hour glass just keeps spinning.My wife tried to reset it to the original factory setting s last night with out it being hooked up to the computer and it has been stuck ever since.What can I do to shut it down.The button is not responding.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Hour glass wont go away on display, so cant print or scan.. Please advise.

    traumax,
    Try downloading and running the print and scan doctor located here:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03275041&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
    It can fix a lot on its own and if not give a better idea of what is going on and would you mind clarifying where we see the hour glass - on the printer or the desktop? 
    Best of Luck!
