Is my WD Maybook Studio running at FW800

Hi
I have a new MacBookPro and an External Western Digital Mybook Studio hard drive. I am connected to the Firewire connector.
How can I tell its running at FW800 and not FW400. Or can the macbook only run at FW800
Thanks

I've never been able to get a "clear" answer about this , eww, so I just did a little "quick and dirty" experiment of my own.
I hooked up a firewire 800 drive and copied across a video file of about 2.8 gig to the MBP's HD and copied the file across. Took just under a minute.
I then erased the file from the MBP , chained a FW400 drive off the FW 800 drive, and repeated the experiment of copying from the 800 to the MBP. It took about 10 secs longer.
I then copied the same file from the FW800 drive to the FW400. Took just on two minutes.
(I also tried copying from the FW800 to the MBP with the FW400 drive removed from the chain, and another FW800 connected in its place, just in case simply having any items at all made a difference. the time was the same as with no other drives connected)
Now , this was very ,much a "quick and dirty" experiment. To do it properly I'd have needed to makes sure that all the drives themselves were the same brand and speed, same level of fragmentation, etc etc.
Neverthless, I think it is pretty clear that while there was a small "impost" imposed by hooking up the FW400 drive, it doesn't reduce the speed to anything like half of the original. More like a 10% t 15% loss in speed for the FW800 when a FW400 drive was chained from it.
So, I'm finally pretty satisfied that Kappy's view of this is pretty much correct. If the FW400 drive is after the FW800 in the chain, then the FW800 will still continue to operate at close to regular FW800 speed, and won't, (as one reads in many places, and I've even said it myself) be automatically chopped to FW400 speed.

CPU Problem with Fl studio running bootcamp

I have the latest MPBr 13' 8gb i5, I'm running FL Studio on bootcamp but for some reason the CPU is always maxed even though i have like four channels running. Any reason why?

How well does Final Cut Studio run with 3gb of ram? Macbook Pro 2.33mhz

I have a 2.33mhz (Model a1211) Macbook Pro. I've maxed out the ram to 4gb but because of the motherboard restrictions (that I still don't quite understand) it can only use 3GB.
I've read on the FCS specs that the minimum is requirement is 1GB but Apple recommends 4GB.
I cut mainly short 3 to 5 minute pieces with AVCHD video decoded with up to 60-90 minutes of footage.
Will I have any serious issues with any of the Final Cut Studio Programs that I should be aware of?
I'm obviously not expecting Mac Pro results but If it doesn't run very well with 3GB, I might have to rethink my purchase. If it is just a "hiccup" now and then with waiting for video to start or such, I will deal.
Thanks

Motion is gfx intensive. Meaning that the lower the gfx card, the lower the performance. You should expect little-to-no realtime performance from Motion on the system mentioned with even basic-to-remotely-intermediate animations. CPU RAM will make a difference in the amount of total frames that you can render in a RAM preview, but it will not affect realtime performance. With your proposed system: add a particle, a lower third text, a replicator with 5,000 points, a light with some shadows, and a reflection (and this is one of each mind you, not multiple instances) and expect around a * less than * 1-3 fps playback in draft quality with %50-%25 playback resolution. Then expect to wait up to a minute or more with the beachball of death for each parameter change. No joke either. Good luck fine-tuning your moderate-to-even-remotely-complex animation with your desired system.
If working in Motion is your desire, then focus on the graphics card. Unfortunately you can not upgrade your gfx card on the MBP, so you should consider selling your MBP and investing in a Mac Pro. You can upgrade the gfx card in the Mac Pro and obtain optimal performance from Motion. Otherwise you'll literally be stuck in the mud with your animations.

Does Final Cut Studio run on a standard Macbook Pro

Hi,
I have seen Final Cut Studio 2 and it looks superb.
Before I buy it, I want to make sure...does it run on a Macbook Pro with 2GB memory and an ATI X1600 PCIe graphics card? (Standard Macbook Pro 15" 2.33GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo)
Do I need anything else? The Apple website is not fully clear about it (I think).
Thanks for your reply.

Will Adobe Production Studio run on Mac?

I have recently purchased the entire Adobe production studio (PhotoShop, Illustrator, Premiero Pro etc) and I'm considering a switch to the world of Mac. Will these programs work at all?

Since this is a Windows-only suite and these applications are rather graphics and processor intensive, you'd probably have the best luck running them under Apple's Boot Camp. Unfortunately, this means you lose your Mac capabilities while booted into Windows. Be sure to post your question in Parallel's forums <http://forums.parallels.com> and check the CrossOver Mac site <http://www.codeweavers.com> to see if your applications are compatible and/or will work well.
Most of these applications have Mac versions as well. You may be able to work with Adobe to purchase a crossgrade of these products and find alternate applications to replace those that only run in Windows.
Hope this helps! bill

Will final cut studio run on the 1799$ macbook pro 15 i7?

ive been trying to install final cut studio 5, but it keeps saying my computer doesnt have the hardware required.... its the macbook pro 15 inch i7. heres a link to the exact one i bought. http://www.amazon.com/Apple-MacBook-MC721LL-15-4-Inch-Laptop/dp/tech-data/B000BN HM0C/ref=de_a_smtd

Hi
The price of the Macbook Pro has no bearing on what the machine can do.
The specs of that machine (model number MC721LL/A) is a 2011 Macbook Pro 15". Specs can be found here.
But, from what I can see - yes, it can run FCS 5. (Tech Specs can be found here)

How Well does FCP Studio Run on a MBP?

I've been debating whether to wait on a MP update or pickup a new 17" MBP. How well do all the Studios programs run on the new 17" MBP?
Thanks

Exceptionally well. You can also get an Express Card adapter and run super fast eSATA external drives too.

Financial Reporting Studio - Running Total

I am trying to build a waterfall / step chart in Financial Reporting Studio to visualize large movements between prior year and current year profit by profit type. For it, i require a 'running total' of profit type movement. I burst the profit type dimension out on row 2 and i want to keep a running total formula calculation
e.g.
Last Year
This Year
Movement
Total Profit
[Profit Type].Level1 drilldown
Total Profit
I want to keep a running total of the movement in Row 2. How can i do this?

Insert Formula Row and give it formula.

HP Photosmart Studio running SLOW

We just became Mac users with our new iMac less than a month ago. We got the HP 4400 all in one with the computer as well. I unloaded pics from my camera's card today and used the editing software for the first time....it was incredibly slow. Is there a reason for that? Is it like a PC....could I be running other programs that I'm not aware of that could have been slowing it down? It actually "locked up" at one point which was extremely frustrating to me with a new computer. I used the unloading and editing software with my old PC and old HP printer with no problems, so I was very surprised when the "new stuff" was sub par today.
Anyone out there that can suggest something or help me out?

I also am a new Mac user and have purchased a C7280 printer with all the accompanying software. I have experienced exactly the same problem and looking at the Activity Monitor the PhotosmartStudio application is making a large number of Unix calls. I have already uninstalled and re-installed the Software and this has made no difference. The silly part of this whole saga is that I would much prefer to download direct into iPhoto, but I am not sure how to separate the applications and discontinue using Photosmart. I think it might be simpler to purchase another printer!

How does Final Cut Studio run on a MacBook ?

Anyone installed it, and able to give comments & performance comparisons ?

Then no PC card addition 800 FW port or additional port ever... Nevertheless, you could still do DV and lower data rate stuff, however RT will be limited by FW 400, and you'll have to be careful about looping FW 400 devices. Use a known FW drive that loops your camera/deck's FW imput without a hitch. There's several out there that will not do this well. Look at Weibetech, Granite Digital or G-Tech drives, I know they work OK looping DV signals thru them.
I think I'd want a MacBook Pro for FCP myself, at least it's certainly worth the difference in price from the new MacBook...

FW800 v eSATA & External Hard Drive set-up questions

Hi there: I've loosely got 2 questions to the wise here...
I recently acquired a new MacBook Pro 17" and have extended my collection of external drives. I have:
- 300GB Lacie (connected via FW800) after years of service, now semi-retired used solely as a clone of the system drive
- 1TB Seagate Freeagent (via FW800) currently used as 2/3 Timemachine and 1/3 general non-important storage
- 2TB WD MyBook Studio II (via FW800) to be used as a FCP scratch disc.
I've only had the Seagate for a day and it's behaving ok but seems quite warm to the touch, whilst the WD (arrived today) seems to run much cooler.
I have thought of changing things so that:
- 1TB Seagate becomes the scratch drive
- 2TB WD becomes 3 partitions: 1/ small amount of storage 2/ timemachine backup and 3/ a scratch disc backup
My logic being that (a) the Seagate will be in use less and (b) that I will be able to back-up capture/scratch stuff. There are two possible downsides to this:
- That I will effectively half my capacity for scratch, although at 2TB I might have over-estimated my need in any case.
- I give up my potential for eSata for the scratch disc.
So as well as general advice about my set-up (or proposed set-up) I'm asking whether eSata would be sufficiently faster to justify purchase of an Express/34 card and restricting myself to only using the WD for scratch.
Now give yourself a medal for reading through all this!

Your need for both space and for speed is determined by what codec you're working with, how much of it, and to what complexity. I'd start here to estimate how much space you need:
http://www.videospaceonline.com/
And if you like, you can use my Digital Acquisition Codecs chart to find your codec bitrate:
http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=0f3cee79d16c357cd5a101cf914073b415dd66068b14f 2a8
eSATA is definitely faster than FW800, but whether you really need that extra boost is something for you to decide. And remember, you can always daisy-chain your backup drive (or connect it via FW400 or even USB-- it's just backup after all), allowing it to backup your scratch files even if they're on another disk.

Running 2 copies of VS 2012 Pro at the same time -- question

I have two projects that I want to work on at the same time (neither shares files from the other so they are independent) -- one is actually a class library (DLL) and the other is an application, but the application doesn't point to the compiled DLL automatically
(I have to manually copy it to the application's folder to use the compiled version so they are not directly interacting with eachother in any way).
So, I've found that you can run multiple instances of VS with different projects open... but here's my problem: sometimes it loads files from one project in the other IDE window, and causes issues when I flip back and forth between instances of VS (basically
keeps telling me that the document was updated outside of VS -- as in, the other IDE instance--and needs to be reloaded).
So, long story short, it displays the errors and source code file in whichever instance of VS I'm currently working with (or whichever instance is test "running" the app; so for example, if I"m working on the app and an error in the class
lib occurs, it displays the source code files in the IDE that has the app open, not the class lib. So if I flip back to the class lib instance of VS, I get the warning messages about files being updated outside of VS).
Is there a way to tell VS to keep the two separate or just display an error and not try to open the source code file that has the error when one occurs?
It's more of an annoyance than anything, but I would like to be able to flip back and forth without issues because now that I've found you can have multiple instances open, I can get more done faster (with the exception of this "problem").
Ideas?

My first thought is that, since only one of your projects is an application (the other is a DLL) why not have a single solution that builds both projects and work on them in a single instance of Visual Studio?
I ask this because you cannot launch a DLL project directly. And if you only ever plan to run code in your DLL by running the exe, then just have them in the same solution and use them in the same IDE.
What is the benefit to you of having two separate instances of Visual Studio running? (Particularly given that it's giving you a headache while debugging.)
You can "flip back and forth" as you specified, but only if you're debugging two different processes -- each IDE would need to be debugging its own process. If you know what exception you're expecting because you're debugging a particular
issue then you can leave the debugger detached, and then when you get the unhandled exception you can choose which running instance of visual studio to attach (or select to launch a new instance.)
As far as I can tell, it sounds like you are debugging a program composed of multiple projects (an exe and a dll). They should simply be in the same solution and you can debug them together in a single IDE. You can open windows from either
project. Not sure what having two IDEs is getting you.

Oracle BPM Studio with JDK 1.6

Hi,
regarding to the the release notes of the Oracle BPM 10.3.1 (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13154_01/bpm/docs65/relnotes/release_notes_OracleBPM10gR3.htm) the studio runs now with a JVM 1.6. But after I installed it seems to me that it is still 1.5 (if you look in Help/About Oracle BPM Studio/Configuration Details). Can I simply exchange the underlying JDK oder would there be any problems?
Kind regards
Matthias

you can.
See the changing your JVM section for Studio at the following pages for instructions on what to do http://download-llnw.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13154_01/bpm/docs65/installguide/index.html

SSRS Report queries begin running slowly, have to stop and start report server to restore performance

We have had a production issue crop up twice now where reports begin running slowly seemingly at random.
When this happens we can see from running SQL Profiler that the report queries are taking an extremely long time to execute. The same queries when run directly in management studio run quickly.
Initially I suspected parameter sniffing, and tried using OPTION (RECOMPILE) in the reports, as well as clearing out the particular query from the plan cache and running the SQL in SSMS to try and get a better plan etc but no amount of jiggery pokery by
me could get the queries to run any faster.
The really weird thing - is that stopping and starting the report server via the reporting services configuration manager instantly cures the problem.
I'd really love to know - why this might be? Is it something to do with the report server closing and re-opening its connections to the database? That's the only sort of thing I can think of...any ideas? Anyone? Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
LucasF

Hi LucasF,
In your scenario, usually we can monitor the execution log in Report Database. If you run below query, you can get the results how long the report takes to render (TimeRendering), how long to process the report(TimeProcessing) and how long to retrieve data
from Database(TimeData). You can check the starttime and endtime to know the total time for executing a report.
SELECT TOP1000 *FROM[ReportServer].[dbo].[ExecutionLog2]
More details information, please reference to similar thread below:
Steps for troubleshooting a slow SSRS 2014 server
Troubleshooting Reports: Report Performance
In SQL Server Reporting Services, a job will be created by SQL Server Agent if any of the following processes is underway:
query execution on a remote or local database server
report processing
report rendering
To cancel a job that is running on the report server, we can cancel the job directly or reduce the report execution time-out value in the SQL Server Management Studio and then will stop query execution. Please refer to the steps below:
Open SQL Server Management Studio, and connect to "Reporting Services".
Under the Report Server node, right-click on the "Jobs" folder and select "Refresh". Then, right-click on "Jobs" again and click "Cancel All Jobs".
Right-click on the Report Server node and open the "Server Properties" dialog.
Click the "Execution" option, and set the "Limit report execution to the following number of seconds:" to a much smaller number. After this issue is resolved, this configuration should revert to the previous state.
Reference:
Managing a Running Process
Setting Time-out Values for Report and Shared Dataset Processing
In addition, we can also use the KILL Transact-SQL statement to terminate a normal connection by terminating the transactions that are associated with the specified session ID. For the details information, you can refer to:
KILL (Transact-SQL)
If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.
