IDVD is closing after a certain time.

Hi, i made a movie with a sony Z1-HDV camera and made the montage in FCP. Than i export it with Quicktime 7.5. Than dropped it in iDVD. After a certain time iDVD just quits. With the below report.
Also when i just open iDVD and open an other iDVD project and do nothing iDVD just quits after a certain time. Read below report.
What to do???? I have to finish this project by wednesday!!!! HELP!!!

Yikes! You're on the very edge of a kernel panic if you haven't yet seen one. Something is amiss ....
Are you using any external FW or USB HD's / 3rd party devices while attempting to burn an iDvd?
If so, Restart your Mac without any 3rd party devices attached and try again. But first run apple's disc utilities to Repair Permissions. Assuming you have no less than 20GB's of available HD space on the boot volume and that all assets for iDvd are located on this same volume (your main HD and not on the external volume/s).
Post back with your results.

IPOD freezes after a certain time

After a certain time using the device, the touch display does not work anymore. The app is still running, but not reacting any more. After switching off the Ipod is working again for a certain time.
The device has been rebooted several times, restored via Itunes and also the firmware is up to date.
The device is one year old, 8GByte, enough memory available and the battery charged.
The problem started some weeks ago.
I started to remove some apps without success actually.
Apps that have a bigger size seem to increase the occurence of the problem
Using WiFi increase the occurence also.
Any ideas welcome!!!

Here finally the solution for my problem:
The hardware of the Ipod had a problem. The device had been replaced by a new one. As I bought the device in Germany, there is an extended warranty of 24 month. The retailer where I bought the device took it back and gave the complete money back including the shipment costs! So I ordered the now IPod Touch G4 and have now fun again.
The suggestion which already had been given was correct and helpful.
A comment about the retailer:
I bought the device via Amazon. There support even on a Sunday evening was just great. In one week (!!!) I sent the device (on Monday), got the result of the investigation and received the new device (on Friday).
The support I received here was just great!

Do notes disappear after a certain time?

The earliest entry in the Notes app has disappeared. Do they get deleted after a certain time or if I have inadvertantly deleted it can i get it back from icloud somehow?

They never expire - at least from iCloud. I still have some five year old notes.

Do notes go away after a certain time?

Do notes on the iphone4 go away after a certain time? One of my most important note is gone.

How old are you? If 1998 is the year you were born, it's entirely possible your parents have subscribed to a 'smart limits' service, which will disable your data connection, text messaging, etc. during hours they choose.

Powershell- FTP Script to copy files only after a certain time

Hey guys,
We are currently running an FTP script that decrypts pgp and copies/moves several files to different archived and production locations. These files come in constantly throughout the day and we need to ensure a certain 8 files get moved to 4 different locations
but NOT before a certain time.
Ex: File1 and File2 are received EARLY along with 50 other files and decrypted at 9pm EST on 9/4. File1 and file2 need to WAIT to be moved until after 12:05am EST on 9/5 or it is slapped with an incorrect $date/time and not processed correctly but
every other file needs to be moved (which is currently all configured).
Right now, both file1 and file2 are being moved as the script runs (every 10 minutes) so when the files come in early from the vendor- they get the incorrect date/time stamp.
I'm fairly new to powershell so I'm not quite sure how to set this up to only move the file if it is between a certain time- say 12am-1am and no other time.

I was able to resolve this myself by doing the following:
$hourdate = get-time –uformat “%H”
#Copy-Item as long as time is in the 12:00am or 1am hour
if(($hourDate -eq "0")-or ($hourdate -eq "1"))
copy-item objects
Thanks guys

Getting labview to stop after a certain time.

I'm trying to get labview to stop running after a set time? I have a load cell attached to a NI ELVIS board and once the set load is read by labview it's outputting a voltage thourgh the board but continuesly till the load is removed. I would like to ouptut the voltage to stop after a certain amount of time with the load still on the load cell.

Of course stopping LabVIEW (as described in the post title) and stopping an output voltage (as described in the post body) are two completely different things! Blindly stopping LabVIEW will not necessarily reset any active analog output to zero.
Best would be a simple state machine that changes the output to zero after a certain elapsed time. This could for example be done with the timeout case of an event structure or even with the "elapsed time" express VI (or with the code fragments given above after you make sure there is a small wait in the polling loop)
When the experiment starts, write a certain voltage to the output once (You don't need to do that over and over, only when the voltage changes) and, after the time has elapsed, write a zero voltage to the output.
No need to stop LabVIEW. You should actually disable or catch "panel close?" events and other abnormal shutdown attempts, and reset the outputs in an orderly fashion before allowing the program to stop.
LabVIEW Champion . Do more with less code and in less time .

Call quality gets choppy after a certain time

Hello, Having an issue with my Comcast phone service. Quality seems to be good (for VOIP) on most calls, however, if I have a call that runs over 45 minutes or so, the line gets choppy and I'm only able to hear about 1 out of every 3 words. This happens consistenty on longer calls after a certain period of time (usually after around 45 minutes). There doesn't seem to be any problem at all during shorter calls, but it's incredibly annoying since I use my phone for work and many of my work calls run longer. Thanks,Ryan

Group video calls have a fair usage policy so if you are doing a group video call more than 4 hours a day/100 hours a month then you could have issues. Normal video calls should not have that limitation though I could imaging there could possibly be a limitation if you attempted to keep a single video call running 24x7x365.

Is there an option to hide the tooltip after a certain time?

I've got the Spry tooltip set to appear after 500ms, but I'd like it to disappear within say 5s. It's only a "tip" so if the user's mouse stays hovered over the tip location they've read the tip and don't need to see it any more. I can't see an option to remove it after a time - if there isn't one it sure would be nice to have one.

Hi,
the only place, as I know, where you could get informations about these controls is here:

BridgeVIEW Networking stops after a certain time

Hi,
We have a BridgeVIEW v2.1.1 system with several server PC's which are
connected over the network with one client PC.
The server PC's are responsable for the I/O's and the client PC is used for
monitoring the measurements and to control the settings for the process. In
total we have over 4000 tags in the system. A lot of them are network tags.
If we startup the BridgeVIEW engines it all runs fine but after a while the
network communication stops. We had this problem already in the v2.1 of
bridgeVIEW after we installed some bug fixes which we got from NI. After
reinstalling the v2.1 without the bug fixes the network communication was
running OK.
We hoped that the latest version 2.1.1 solved all our probl
ems we have with
it since a long time.
Does any other user of BridgeVIEW have the same experience and is there a
solution?

How to change the scenegraph after a certain time

I want to have an object appear in one of my 3d-applets after 30 seconds. How do I do this? It would be easy in regular Java, but since the scenegraph is precompiled, it makes it more complicated in Java3D.
Have a look at some of my shapeshifters:
http://www.astralvisuals.com/ShapeShiftersnew.htm

Actually, it wouldn't be that difficult at all.
Here's the trick: The scene graph as a whole isn't necessarily precompiled. You actually compile the BranchGroups in the scene. And branch groups can be added or removed at ANY time (provided the right capabilities are set).
You can add it later in several ways:
You could override behavior to count out 30 seconds (w/ or w/o using an Alpha), and add the item.
Or you could do it from your application, using a TimerTask, or implementing your own thread to do it.
Another idea, instead of actually adding the item 30 seconds in:
You could add the item right away and set the appearance invisible, and set it visible when 30 seconds is up.
Another thing you could do is modify the culling at 30 seconds in, so the 'visible' faces aren't rendered until 30 seconds have passed.
The bottom line is, you can always change the scene graph after it's been compiled and is live AS LONG AS you have set the appropriate capabilitiy bits.

Removing .bak files after a certain time

I am new to automator but was wondering if the following can be done...
after saving a file in autocad it always creates a .bak file. now can automator for selected folders and after a time period of time after the .bak files has been crated, this automatically delete this files. and i mean only .bak files that are for instant more then a week old....
if so, can someone explain me a little how this can be achieved?
thanks, john

How old are you? If 1998 is the year you were born, it's entirely possible your parents have subscribed to a 'smart limits' service, which will disable your data connection, text messaging, etc. during hours they choose.

Will an audio message disappear after a certain time even if the receiver has not listened to them?

I have noticed that sometimes i will send someone an audio snippet and they don't get it, I know it expires after two minutes from being heard does that time limit also apply to them even if they aren't heard?

It would be stupid if it did. After all, what's the point if the user on the receiving end never got to hear it?
Tl;dr: Nope.

Stop threads after a certain time

Task[] tasks = new Task[nTasks];
for (int i = 0; i < nTasks; i++) {
tasks[i] = new Task(n, "Task " + i);
tpe.execute(tasks[i]);
tpe.shutdown();
System.out.println("Done!");
try {
tpe.awaitTermination(5, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS);
catch (Exception e) {e.printStackTrace();}

How come the threads do not stop especially when I have set a 5 Millisecond timeout?
How do I go about stopping active threads?

I want to create a program that wants to do some work simultaneously, but each thread will return back after some time, however I do not want to wait forever so I want to stop all active threads after say 1 minute. Below is what I am doing but I am unable to stop the executing threads:
ThreadPoolExecutor tpe = new ThreadPoolExecutor(
tpSize, tpSize, 5, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS,
new LinkedBlockingQueue<Runnable>());
Task[] tasks = new Task[nTasks];
for (int i = 0; i < nTasks; i++) {
tasks = new Task(n, "Task " + i);
tpe.execute(tasks);
tpe.shutdown();
System.out.println("Done!");
try {
tpe.awaitTermination(5, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS);
catch (Exception e) {e.printStackTrace();}
class Task implements Runnable {
long n;
String id;
private long fib(long n) {
if (n == 0)
return 0L;
if (n == 1)
return 1L;
return fib(n - 1) + fib(n - 2);
public Task(long n, String id) {
this.n = n;
this.id = id;
public void run() {
Date d = new Date();
DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss:SSS");
long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
d.setTime(startTime);
System.out.println("Starting task " + id + " at " + df.format(d));
System.out.print("Fib: " + fib(n));
long endTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
d.setTime(endTime);
System.out.println(" Ending task " + id + " at " + df.format(d) + " after " + (endTime - startTime) + " milliseconds");

Is ThreadPoolExecutor right for me?

Automatically dispose a JDialog after a certain time

HI all,
To dispose a JDialog by a user response I've add a button event and dispose it. Say user not click the button within one minute after displayed it. In that case I want to automatically dispose it. How can I do it.
Thanks

Yes, I'm working on Timer as you said. What I'm asking in that code is what I tried. :) I think most of you think it is not a good approach at all :)
Here what I try with the timer.
    public void autoHide(final JDialog mainDialog){
        int counter = 0;
        Timer timer = new Timer(1, new ActionListener() {
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
                if(mainDialog.isVisible()){
                     // In each second try to increment the counter by one
                     // if the counter is equal to 5 dispose the dialog
        timer.start();
    }I stuck here, I can't change the variable counter int the timer. IDE inform that used constant values.

IDVD is closing after a certain time.
