How do I get a reliable upload monitor?
Hi,
I'm a freelance television editor for several networks and corporate clients.
I regularly upload .wmv and Quicktime movies of my work to my iDisk for my clients to review.
Question: Is there any reliable upload monitor that shows me the progress AS it is happening? Before you answer that, please read on. There are two things I've tried that have not worked.
THE PROGRESS BAR is just not doing the trick. Unless I miss my guess, Apple really dropped the bar on this one. When I upload to my iDisk via the finder, the progress bar zooms all the way through to the end in five seconds or less - THEN it holds in that spinning barbershop pole for the rest of the upload. I'm sorry, but that is simply NOT a reliable way to tell how far your upload has gone, how far you have to go, whether or not your network connection has dropped, etc. Is there something in my settings somewhere to control how this progress bar acts?
THE ACTIVITY MONITOR has a Network Pane ... and there is an indication there of "Data Sent". However ... data sent SINCE WHEN? Midnight? The last hour? This last download? I have no idea, and I can't find anything in any manual or help document that explains "data sent" more fully.
Keep in mind, I rarely have problems uploading. It's very reliable, and eventually the progress bar goes away, indicating that the upload is complete.
However, when a client is on the phone wondering when the upload will be done so they can see it --- I have nothing to tell them! I don't know how far the upload's gone, when it will be done - my Mac is simply not providing me that information.
Does anyone know of a setting to change in my Mac to get this information when I upload? Or at te very least, a more reliable upload monitor that can give me an accurate progress report?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
Klaus!
You get the bonus points without knowing it.
I know you said you missed the "iDisk" in my original post --- but based on what you came up with, I did some digging and it solved my problem. Incredibly easy, too.
Solution: Transmit DOES integrate seamless with iDisk. Here's how.
Download and install Transmit.
The go into your System preferences, go to .Mac, then the Sync pane. Click the "Synchronize with .Mac button.
Scroll down. You'll see the option to synchronize your .Mac with Transmit favorites.
Click that button and then "Synchronize Now".
That's it. No need to enter confusing addresses or anything. Your iDisk now appears in the Favorites bar of Transmit.
From there it's just drag and drop into the Transmit window ... and my original progress monitor problem is solved!
Thank you so very much, Klaus! This is a problem that has frustrated me for more than a year!

I'm trying to make a slideshow in iMovie, but when I upload photos from my Aperture Library into the iMovie Photo Browser, some photos (305 out of 427) are missing. How do I get iMovie to upload all of them?
I have same problem. I could only see a fraction of my project photos if I browse the Aperture lbrary. It is the same problem when I sync the aperture photos to my iPhone or iPad. I still cannot solve it but I know a way to go around it for your iMovie to see the pictures so that you can work on your iMovie.
Here is the work around:
Export the photos from your album to your hard disk and re-import into your iPhoto. Now you should be able to see those photos that you want to work on in iMovie when you browse your iPhot library. -
How do I get iweb to upload to different family pack accounts?
Hi. sorry if this has been covered before, but I can't find this particular problem anywhere. Also sorry this is going to take a while to explain. We feel we wasted an extra 50 bucks on our family pack for mac.com last year to have accounts we never could find out how to upload from our separate iWeb domain files. We needed 4 different "sub accounts" but we use one mac laptop using one desktop. Calling apple customer service was of no help. We have figured out the way to get iWeb to open different domain2 files was to copy and into each person's file (one for the gardener for their garden stuff, one for the budding chef and his cooking stuff, etc). But no matter what domain file is opened and worked on iWeb always uploads it to our main (original) user name thus erasing the site previously uploaded to it. We can't seem to find out how to change the settings in iWeb so when it uploads particular iWeb projects to Mac.com (or now me.com?) it goes to the sub accounts and not overwriting the main account. Our main account is for the entire household's news/photos etc and we don't link to the others from there. We thought by setting up the family pack we could easily get iweb to send up to the other sub accounts. Not so. We ended up last year just doing all our websites on the same iWeb domain file using "new website" function and adding a complete new website to the bottom of the list on our iWeb pages. All of them would be combined into one which uploaded everything to the main account. Not what we wanted but that was the only way that nothing would get erased by anyone else's updates but also not very private as those near the bottom of the list would have a mac.com address as long as my arm. Sorry so long winded here. But if we can't have two iweb domain files on a desk top upload to two separate mac.com accounts or sub accounts, then why pay the extra for them? Is a family pack only good for families with a computer in every room? Our family pack accounts expires in 10 days so would like to know if we need to waste another 50 bucks. And no, setting up separate desktops for for the sake of individual iWeb projects is not an option as all the files are kept together. We tried that once and got so much duplication in photos and stuff, our hard drive was full in no time.
so you have 45 different users on your one computer? ie: 45 different desktop users or am I still not understanding. To me a "user" you are referring to is what I would go up to the upper right of my toolbar and use the drop down menu and select another name (or in this case another alias of myself) but those additional accounts (users) would all have to be tied into my files on the main account to access them from all users, correct? All my files are on my one main user (myself) and not all of them are in iPhoto or iTunes, for instance any swf files. If I have other iWeb domain files (which I know how to create, duplicate and know about the last one used in iweb etc) then I have to create a separate user name (myself again) in my computer for as many iweb/me.com accounts or sub accounts that I have? But my problem with that is if I copy those domain files and move them into another account/user (which I tried) the link (the stuff at the bottom of the iWeb work window) still says my original Mac.com (me.com) address and will not let me change even when the new "user" has not even logged into Mac.com ever or the second computer is linked to a completely different mac.com account. I would have to start all over from scratch. I am sorry that I am not getting this. I know you are trying hard to explain it to me but it is just a bit too complicated to do a simple task of: I want to create a new iWeb/domain2 file on my own desktop with my own user name and have it go to "here" and not "here" within the me.com environment. I have actually copied and moved over 20 domain and domain2 files between our two macs to work on them, but each time the same connection indicated at the bottom is always the same and they will all upload to the master account at Mac I am referring to thus deleting anything we uploaded before no matter which computer they are located on. Once that domain file is created it is locked into that Mobileme account no matter what. So it has been easier to simply save to folders and purchase hosting from someone else than try to figure out what I am doing wrong with mac and me. (me, not myself)

HT204150 microsoft outlook contacts are not uploading to icloud? how do I get it to upload?
My Microsoft outlook contacts are not uploading to icloud.. how do I correct this ?
I also have this problem, just from the iPhone 5s which makes my life crazy, too.
The problem of having multiple devices doesn't seem to help, but the odd part is when everything I am doing is correct, it still doesn't sync like it used to do before iCloud, and when we had to USB wire connect the iPhone to the Laptop to make contacts sync.
Might I add that I am not using MAIL on my LAPTOP?
but ?Britty sounds like her issue is easier as gmail sometimes can create duplicates so you are in good if you are not having that problem or nightmare...
IF ANYONE ELSE can PLEASE ADD to this THREAD? I would be thankful
as there seems to be a TRENDING on iPhone 5s not syncing with other devices or backwards.....(I have added contacts to the iPhone 5s and they never get added to the iCloud or the iPad or the Addressbook or CONTACTS on the LAPTOP....
This should be working and I have checked the CONTACTS on the laptop GROUPS , iCloud, vs ALL ON MY MAC
it just isn't syncing and in some cases I am getting a WEB DAV error or CAL error...-1
what is that? iCloud will not sync all contacts?
something is crazy
but I want to remain at 10.8 MOUNTAIN LION and not upgrade to MAVERICKS......or use MAIL on my LAPTOP...just CONTACTS ONLY...... -
How do I get a reliable sync with streaming data in RS232?
I have an application running in LV6i that must grab data from a continuous serial ASCII stream destined for a VT100 terminal. The stream repeats about every 1/10th of a second. The stream contains approximately 4k of data. There are no separators, but the VT100 positioning data repeats with every scan.
The problem: I cannot seem to get a good sync when reading the stream with LabVIEW. Initial reads of the stream may result in characters that are one byte off (garbage). An analysis of the hex data shows the data is read correctly, it's just one byte off (3D 45 read as D4 5C, for example). Rereading the stream will eventually produce good data, but then it may read only a few lines instead of a
full buffer (I read for one second, see how many bytes are in the buffer, and read the entire buffer. Then, parse the string for the VT100 commands I need and split the string into the variable data I need). It often requires 15 to 20 re-reads to get the buffer to fill. Oddly, once I get this working in a given session, it is pretty reliable.
Does anyone have a solution for this? It's driving me NUTS!
TIA,
Larry Stein
Woodward GovernorWell, after much more digging around, I found that the VISA serial read vi was not reading all the data in the buffer. Knowledgebase article 0ACAKCRP had the answer.
Hope this helps someone else someday.

How can I get a reliable airport connection on my Intel Mini?
I have an Intel mini and I connect it to the internet through airport. When it is working, it shows all the bars as dark, which I assume means I have a good signal. But some times it does not connect on startup, and can't be persuaded to connect with anything I have tried, using the network control panel or whatever. It just does not work. Some times it will work if I shut it down and start it up again, some times not. I also have a G3 Imac using a Hawking USB adapter on the same network, and it is solidly reliable, so that makes me think the problem is in the mini, not the router. It started doing this a few weeks ago, and the problem may have something to do with one of the many software upgrades, for all I know. This discussion thing is really difficult to use, so I hope I can find this question again, and maybe even a good answer.

How can I get artwork to upload and display consistently?
There are inconsistancies with my experience compared to others. The main similarity is that artwork is not uploading consistatly. I'm seeing the following:
Some artwork that dispplays in iTunes doesn't display on my iPhone (my only iTunes Match enabled device)
Some artwork on songs purchased from iTunes Store doesn't display.
Some artwork on songs purchased from iTunes Storewill display on some songs from an album but not the entire album.
Some artwork that I have added manually will display on some songs but not the entire album.
Artwork thumbnail will display in album list but won't diaplay for individual songs.
I have tried deleting artwork and letting iTunes find it again. I have tried using 600x600 size images. I have verified that artwork size doesn't matter. I've added 1200x1200 artwork and it displays through iTunes Match on my iPhone. For the most part I get artwork that iTunes can't find from Amazon's mp3 store or Discogs.com. Again, some of what I get fromAmazon will display, some won't. Same for Discogs.
I can't find any consistancies in any of it. Everything I think of to try is contradicted by other songs in my library. I've searched through the discussions and tried everything suggested. I've deleted and reupped or re"matched" my library 3 times now.
It seems as if there are no answers.Wow Steve. I can't believe I have found someone with the exact same issues as I do and when you said in your original post that you couldn't find any "consistencies" with the artwork problems, I said to myself this guy is going through the same **** as I am. When I first heard of iTunes Match for the first time, I spent a whole day adding the missing artwork to my 1258 albums. After purchasing iTunes Match and letting it scan my whole library, there were some 80 albums that had lost their cover art in my library. This is a part from the fact that some albums that DO have cover art do not have their artwork appear on my iPhone and iPad. I have also noticed some albums have their artwork appear on the album page but not when i'm on the artist or individual song page.
I did notice one thing though that I hope they fix. There are some albums of mine, which are compilations of various artists, that I rather have regrouped under one artist for easy finding. When I tried modifying the artist for a complete album which cover art is displayed, the cover art would disappear from my devices.
This shows me that there are many sorting issues that will have to be corrected and I'm guessing alot of them are related to the album cover art issues.
I justed wanted to add the fact that I have noticed the exact same issues as you did and hoping that this will all be resolved someday by Apple because I don't think there is anything more we can do. -

How do I get a reliable schedule for automatic update in Windows Server 2012 R2?
I don't understand why MS broke the automatic update in Windows Server 2012 R2. In previous versions, I used to set it for automatic updates - Saturdays at 2AM. I can no longer pick a weekly update in the GUI and the time seems to have no impact on its capricious
reboots due to updates. It might happen 2 days later at noon. The best option for now is to just shut off the automatic updates but I'm reading this issue has been around since 2012 R1. There supposedly is a fix/patch for
2012 but it doesn't say if the patch is for 2012 R2 and the automatic updates haven't installed a fix that actually fixes what is broken with the automatic updates.
Why even leave the GUI for automatic updates if it doesn't mean anything?
Is there a simple registry key I can change so updates occur according to the schedule that you created in the GUI? Please no powershell - worst crutch MS ever created to not fix their own gui.
I'm seeing people have tried some advanced work around using GPO but many said those don't work reliably either on hosts or domain controllers.This may explain:

How can i get pics to attach to emails faster
when I attach a 2.7M pic to an email (att netmail) it takes about 26 secs to upload. How can I get it to upload faster? using mac os10.7.5
hello, the time is probably determined by the upload rate of your internet connection (26secs for 2.7MB would relate to a rate of around 1 Mbps), you can check that at a site like www.speedtest.net.

I connected an external monitor to my MacBook Pro, but it doesn't open any programs. It Just sits there with a blank screen. How do I get it to open programs and act like a monitor?
Dear Jean:
It sounds like you are trying to get your external monitor to act as the primary viewing screen. For example it would have your Doc, Icons, Etc. In order to make the external monitor the primary screen you have to:
Open System Preferences.
Choose the Displays Icon
There will be several tabs to choose from pick Arrangement
Drag the toolbar to desired display
Let me know if this helps at all!
