Installer keeps waiting for other installations to complete my downloads. is this normal?

I downloaded a microsoft remote desktop application and tried to download my office mac and the installer keeps saying waiting for other installations to complete. So i thought i needed a restart and the installer won't shut down either. is this normal?

Immediate problem solved. After force quitting the Software Update app., iPhoto 9.2 appears to have been successfully installed and functional. Unable to say if future S/W updates will encounter any problems. Thanks for all consideration. Item closed.

What else are you installing? have you tried re-booting?

Should I keep waiting for the Burn to complete?

I Have a 2 hour movie in iDVD 5.0.1 with theme (The rear window of a car) and Scene selection etc. It cranked through :
1. Prepare
2. Process Menus
3. Process Slideshows
4. Process Movies
this all took 9 or 10 hours
5. BURN - Retrieving and Preparing Project .
This has been on the last 1/8 of an inch of the progress bar for 36 hours.
The Burn icon in the lower right is still spinning.
When I hit the Force Quit it DOES NOT say it is not responding as I have seen in the past.
Do I keep going or start over? I have iDVD 6 on an exterbal HD, I could try or maybe a different theme in iDVD 5.
One more thing, I have Burned this iMovie in Toast in 9 hours and I am using a TDK DVD+R DL. I burned with toast on a Verbatim but that obviously did not have the iDVD theme I wanted. I have TDK , Memorex and Verbatim DVD+R DL.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

Bengt,
I have not been able to burn an iDVD yet in iDVD 5 or iDVD 6.
I suspected the length was just a bit too long (2hours 20 min) but I can burn in Toast all day long. It is much simpilar themes etc , but still Toast crank it out on 8 hours.
One othe question: If the burn never completes and I force quit after days is mt DVD+R DL still burnable? Is the dic unusable?
I have and awesome looking movie in iDVD/iMovie and would really like to burn it. Should I split it up into 1.5 hour chuncks? I hate to do that but I have spent weeks off and on trying to burn in iDVD.

Just got an iMac. I am trying to use Migration Assistant. The Mac side seems to be doing it's job, but my PC just keeps "Waiting for the Mac to connect." For over an hour.

Probably a PC issue, you can try calling AppleCare, you are covered for 90 days from the date of purchase and can find the phone number in the owners manual. Also please look over:

Thomas,
It would also be extremely helpful to those trying to help you if you complted your Profile so we at least know what iMac and version of OS X is installed. Click Your Stuff in the upper right then click Profile and complete the necessary fields including what part of the planet you're located.

When syncing my iPad with my computer I keep getting the notice ' waiting for changes to be applied '. What is this all about ?

When syncing my iPad with my computer I keep getting the notice ' waiting for changes to be applied '. What is this all about ?

If everything is working OK, I believe it simply means that the iPad and iTunes are communicating and that any changes that you made to the sync configuration are waiting to go through. If you updated apps on the iPad and they get transferred into iTunes or if you download new songs onto the iPad and they are being transferred into iTunes, any app data that moves back and forth - those would be changes that need to be applied.
If you can't finish the sync and that's why you are asking, can you provide more specific details?

SHUTDOWN: waiting for active calls to complete.

Hello,
environment is HPUX 11.23, Oracle Version is 9.2.0.5
We had an ORA-600 error yesterday. We reported that error to the support and were suggested to install patch 9.2.0.8.
However i have one question. As you can see from the output in the alert-logfile it took a very long time to shutdown the instance using the immediate option:
Sun Nov 9 17:33:58 2008
Shutting down instance: further logons disabled
Shutting down instance (immediate)
License high water mark = 454
Sun Nov 9 17:39:07 2008
Active call for process 3991 user 'oracle' program 'oracle@xyz (TNS V1-V3)'
SHUTDOWN: waiting for active calls to complete.
Sun Nov 9 17:50:36 2008
ALTER DATABASE CLOSE NORMAL
Is there anything one can do in such a situation to speed up the shutdown of the instance ?

Rajabaskar Thangaraj,
Oracle database has a job facility and a streams/advanced queuing facility.
These facilities are possible by setting up a few ancillary processes.
Those parameters govern the number of processes.
Setting them to 0 will disable the facility completely.
As you alter the parameter in memory, as you as you have bounced the database, it will be back to the value in the spfile and the facilities will work again.
Disabling them is especially useful when you the facilities are frequently used, ie you have a job running every 30 seconds.
In the past, on several databases, this was the only way to allow a shutdown immediate.
Hope this helps,

I tried to import 2 photos from an email. The photos are now on iPhoto, however, when I try to close iPhoto or turn off my computer, I get a notice that says, "Photos are being imported to the photo library. Please wait for the import to complete."

I tried to import 2 photos from an email to iphoto. The photos now appear in iphoto as the latest imports, However, when I try to close iphoto or log off of my computer, I get a message box that says, " Photos are being imported to the photo library. Please wait for the import to complete."
I can't get out of iphoto or log off of my computer, or turn the computer off. How do I stop the import or log out of iphoto???

Try Force-quit from the Apple-menu to close iPhoto.

Javascript: Wait for a redirect to complete - creating multiple PDF's

Hi!
Here is the code that I am using to try to generate multiple reports from javascript. how do I wait for the redirect to complete (ie. generate the PDF) before redirecting to generate the next PDF?
In the code the "F106_" are application level items.
I get have been able to get the very first or the very last PDF but none of the other PDF's.
<script type="text/javascript">
function f_DoReport() {
for (i = 2; i <= 3; i++)
     for (j = 1; j <= 4; j++)
         var rgn = '0' + i;
         var dst = '0' + j;
         var vurl = 'f?p=&APP_ID.:30:&SESSION.:FLOW_XMLP_OUTPUT_R27022113101536736_en-us:&DEBUG.::';
         vurl += 'F106_RPT_REGION,F106_RPT_DISTRICT:' + rgn + ',' + dst;
         redirect(vurl);
         alert('rgn: ' + rgn + ' dst: ' + dst);
</script>Please let me know if I am going down the wrong path here. :D
As always thanks for your time and help!
Dave Venus

A few questions…
Do you want a script that works with just the active document and you are going to run 300+ times? If so then this may do…
#target illustrator

     if (app.documents.length = 0) {
          reurn;
     } else {
          var docRef = app.activeDocument;
          var docName = docRef.name;
          var baseName = docName.replace(/.ai$/,'');
          var dF = docRef.path.fsName;
          var aB = docRef.artboards;
          var pdfOpts = new PDFSaveOptions();
          pdfOpts.pDFPreset = '[Press Quality]';

                    docRef.saveAs(pdfFile, pdfOpts);
               } else {

Microsoft Excel is waiting for another application to complete an Ole actio

When I access Data Manager, I get the error message: "Microsoft Excel is waiting for another application to complete an Ole action." When I click OK, I get another error: "Cannot download the dimension list from server. Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to obtaining a connection from the pool. This may have occurred because all pooled connections were in use and max pool size was reached." It never used to happen until recently. I don't know what to tell the IT guys to do. Thanks.

This is a known error in V5. I have had this error at almost every V5 customer.
The following solution (got it from support) solves it permanently.
Changes have to be made to the outlooksoft.config file and the connectionstrings in tblappsetinfo. Be sure to restart the server(s) after applying these changes.
1. In outlooksoft.config file of x:\OutlookSoft\Websrvr\bin folder on the web server change the following line:
<add key="Database_AppServerDBConn" value="Server=<servername>;Database=AppServer;Trusted_Connection=True;"/>
to
<add key="Database_AppServerDBConn" value="Server=<servername>;Database=AppServer;Trusted_Connection=True;pooling=false"/>
Please note that where I have <servername> you should put the name of your server ****
Also, add the pooling=false; to every connection string in tblappsetinfo.
I am sure this helps,
Regards,
Alwin Berkhout

Left my macbook air to dry over night then turned it on, should i keep waiting for it to dry?

I accidentally left the cap of my water bottle open then threw it on my bed, the next minute a small puddle had surrounded my macbook air, so i took it immediately and shut it down. I waited for it to dry over night so then this morning i decided to try to turn it on but it wouldnt turn on at all! just should i keep waiting for it to dry then turn it on or is there no chance at all!
Also i have not yet told my parents because they would kill me as they got me this macbook as a well-done-on-your-grades reward!

I understand and sympathize with you.
But from a technical point of view, liquid damage is progressive.
If I had other helpful tips, I would have shared those with you.
Best.

Waiting for scheduling job to complete. Job ID...and it never completes

I have created my first Publication. It's a pretty basic single source document, single Dynamic Recipients list publication.
When I run it in Test mode (I haven't tried it in non-Test mode yet), the document(s) are never delivered.
When I view the Log File, everything looks fine. The second and last entry in the log says
"- The global delivery rule for this publication was met; publication processing will now begin."
The Status Message I see in the Publication History is:
"Waiting for scheduling job to complete. Job ID:3,879, name:Unviewed Invoices Report (Copy), kind:CrystalReport in Pending state (FBE 60509) [0 recipients processed.] " and it never changes. I've tried this several times, creating new publications with the same source documents, and the same thing always happens.
Any help would be appreciated.

All of the servers were configured correctly.
It turned out to be my source document, a report, had some field in it that BOE didn't like.
I removed a bunch of fields and added them back, one by one, and couldn't make the error occur again.
Go figure.

Does WPF waits for GPU present to complete?

I'm testing how frequently WPF display can change when I have one window per monitor. My frame rate isn't amazing, and using xperf and GPUView it looks like WPF prepares both windows and then calls "Present packet" on both at the same time, and
waits for both to complete before moving on to send the next frames to the video card. I think my frame rate could have been faster if WPF didn't wait for the present to complete on both displays. When I run two WPF processes, each with one window on
one monitor, the present packets are independent, so parallel processing is more efficient and the frame rate is higher.
Did anyone observe the same behavior? Is there a flag I can set to make the WPF windows of one process more independent?

Hello Shir Oren,
I'm confused about those monitors, do you mean you have a computer with a few monitors?
Then "When I run two WPF processes" can you briefly introduce it here? Different applications on different monitor? Do you actually mean thread but not process here?
Actually WPF can take advantage of both Hardware and Software Rendering Pipeline, for details please refer to MSDN article:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb613578(v=vs.110).aspx
I'm not sure whether there is a flag you metioned but I haven't found it at this time. So I recommend you focus on the exist WPF render tiers from here
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms742196(v=vs.110).aspx to consider raise your performance.

Barry

TS1398 I only want my secured network wifi but keeps searching for others. Tried turning on an off wifi and on and off secured networks and ignore other networks, but keep coming back. Any suggestions.

That's not the way wifi works.
You may see the other networks but you are not connected to them in any way.
