Is there a way to force a program closed on a Mac Pro?

Is there a way to force a program to close like you can using the Task Manager in Windows?
I have Motion 5 that seems to lock up showing the spinning wheel like it thinks like it is doing something in the background.  Unfortunately, It happens when I haven't tried to do anything.  It seems to go on for ever.  The only way I've been able to get out of it if to reboot the computer but I lose all my work in doing so.

  • Is there a way to install boot camp on a 2006 Mac Pro running Lion?

    Lion comes with Boot Camp 4, which supports Windows 7+. The 2006 Mac Pro however only supports Windows Vista, which requires Boot Camp 3.
    I can't find a download link for Boot Camp 3, only 4 and 5.
    Does anyone have an idea?

    It is on your original dvd that came with your computer. See the Boot Camp System Requirements located here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634
    Look for your computer to determine what support software version is supported and where it is located.

  • Is there a way to force System.out.println to run when called

    I working on my first threaded program and having a hard time debugging. I've used System.out.println to let me know what's going on but due (I assume) to the nature of threads the output is not sequential. Is there a way to force println to execute immediatly so that they show up in the order they were called?
    Thanks --- Mike

  • Is there a way to force PE7 to conform/recognize the audio on a file?

    I imported a .m2ts clip but it doesn't see the audio at all.  I've already verified the project settings so I know thats not it.  Is there a way to force PE7 to conform or recognize a file again?

    What is the Audio CODEC used in the muxed MPEG file? G-Spot should give you the full details. Where, exactly, did the files come from?
    PrE and PrPro can often have problems with muxed files. Much of that depends on the exact CODEC used with the Audio. One method would be to demux the file, i.e. elemental streams with video-only and audio-only. Another method would be to rip the Audio from the muxed file with a program like Audacity, and then Import that separately.
    Good luck,

  • Is There a Way to Force a SYNC/BACKUP of the IPHONE

    Hi All. Thanks again for the help on the logo stuck issue. Is there a way to force a sync/backup of the phone so if another restore is necessary the backup is recent and can recover the phone? Thanks all.
    Bob
    Wethersfield, Ct.

    This is close to the problem I'm having. My husband let someone at work "update" his program and the goober deleted everything. I can only get a screen that has itunes logo and a usb cable picture. When I try to sync it Itunes doesn't bring up the phone on the left side. It doesn't recognize it at all. Can someone please tell me what I need to do? I've already tried reinstalling itunes, I've tried to sync on another computer and all I get is that itunes screen on my phone.

  • Is there a way to force for rendering ALL clips in work area?

    Is there a way to force for rendering ALL clips in work area? All clips: not only the ones with the red horizontal line indicating that they need rendering! I ask for this because the rendered clips preview very smoothly, but the unrendered ones do not! My source footage (and project) involves Full HD (1920*1080i 25fps).

    If a Clip does not need Rendering, it will not be Rendered.
    Basically, what Rendering does is to convert the Clips, that do require Rendering, to DV-AVI (SD Projects on a PC). This will yield AVI files in the Media Cache, Render Files, and for playback, PrE will rely on those. If you look in the Render File folder, you will see a bunch of abstractly named files, but those files are now Linked in the PREL (Project file), and will be used by the program for playback.
    If one were to remove those Render files, and then Open that Project in PrE, they'd receive a message, "Where is file 04u434ip0ow.AVI?" [Note: that is just an example of the abstract Render file name, and is not the actual name, that one would see.]. One could Ignore those now missing Render files, and where they were used, there would then be red lines over those Clips.
    As Steve mentions, the Render files are used only for smoothest playback. As I use DV-AVI files for SD Projects on my PC, I will not need to Render for smoothest playback, until I make changes to the Clips, like overlay Titles, PiP, Effects, etc.. I might never Render the Timeline, even with those additions, but sometimes, I will Render a small segment many times, especially with animated Effects, as I adjust the parameters.
    If one is not getting the smoothest playback, then Rendering all files requiring Rendering will usually improve playback greatly.
    Good luck, and hope that this makes sense.

  • Is there a way to force href="mailto: to use the default email client

    I would like to use the href="mailto:" in my website to automatically open an email but the end user gets the message "There is no email program associated to perform the requested action..."
    Is there a way to force to the mailto to use the and user's default email client?
    Thank you for your help

    Hi James -
    That is the default behavior of browsers when handling the mailto link.
    Please keep in mind that nearly half of website visitors do not have an email client as they are using mobile devices or public computers or web-based email like Gmail, MSN mail etc.
    Please don't feed the spambots. Best practice is to use an HTML "form" in conjunction with a server-side forms processing script. Ask your hosting provider if they provide one for you.

  • Is there any way to force Firefox to remember passwords?

    As many have complained about, there is a growing trend for websites to prevent browsers, including Firefox, from remembering passwords. This is absolutely infuriating. Like most people, I have on the order of 100 passwords, and thanks to idiotic, overzealous IT guys who need to justify their own jobs, we are forced to constantly change them to ludicrous, impossible-to-remember combinations of symbols and numbers. (Does anybody really get their accounts stolen because some hacker sits down and tries to guess their password? Somehow I find that very, very hard to believe.)
    First world problems, I know. My question though is simple: is there any way to force Firefox to remember passwords? Perhaps an add-on or external program of some kind? I know there are password manager programs, but the last time I checked, those were all but worthless and didn't work as well as the built-in Firefox support for remembering passwords. Thanks for any help.

    hello andrew, yes you can either [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/remember-passwords/ install an addon] or [https://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/forms.html#remember_password use a bookmarklet] to circumvent this restriction.
    in an upcoming version of firefox, this functionality will also be built-in directly into the browser: http://www.ghacks.net/2013/12/24/firefox-29-save-fill-autocompleteoff-passwords/

  • Is there a way to force "desktop view" on my iPad 1 when using Safari?

    Google, in their control frenzy, has now changed iGoogle to default to Tablet view on iPads. Why??? Here is one solution but it does not use Safari:
    Question:
    Is there a secret to getting the old igoogle homepage back, or is it gone for good on the iPad 2?  I still have the homepage on my Mac, so the problem is just with the iPad.  Any help anybody can give to get the home page back would be greatly appreciated.
    Answer:This issue is with the Tablet view. You can switch to Classic view at the bottom, but as soon as you type anything in the url bar you get reverted to Tablet. I have the Atomic Browser installed on my iPad and have set it to identify itself as a desktop. iGoogle loads fine on that. I am not aware of any such setting for Safari on the iPad.
    Google fails to understand that we do not need sub featured pages for our tablets. Tablets work fine with the desktop versions. They have probably concluded that iGoogle pages are too busy for tablets and so have disabled it. Tablet search has been significantly degraded by Goggle with elimination of the pinch and zoom and cached features. It should be possible to make a sticky setting change to Classic view on tablets. Most other settings stick, but not the Classic view. I dont think Google get it anymore.
    Is there a way to force Safari ,on an iPad, to do this?

    The website may alter its page display based on the browser ID that is transmitted to the site from your browser. Some browsers on the iPad like iCab allow you change the browser ID to something desktop-oriented. Safari does not provide this capability.

  • Is there a way to "force" an EFI update?

    Hi all
    I have the Macbook 5,1 with 4GB of RAM. I read [over at OWC|http://blog.macsales.com/9102-secret-firmware-lets-late-08-macbooks-use-8gb ] that this computer supports 8GB provided it has the "updated" version of the MB51.007D.B03 Boot ROM. I would be interested in installing 8GB to extend the life of the computer. It runs really well and is a gem.
    As I understand OWC's text, Apple re-wrote the MB51.007D.B03 to allow addressing memory up to 8GB *but didn't change the version number*. My computer has MB51.007D.B03 but I don't know when this Boot ROM was installed because I bought the computer used in 2010.
    When I try to install the EFI update which OWC links to the computer simply says that it is installed and that it cannot be applied.
    As I live in Europe, it's a bit of a gamble for me to order the OWC RAM upgrade pack without knowing if it will actually work on my Macbook.
    So here are my questions:
    Would the message I get mean that I have the "updated" version of MB51.007D.B03 or would such a message come up also if I have the "old" version of MB51.007D.B03 installed (for instance, would the computer verify some sort of file checksum that differs between the two versions of MB51.007D.B03)?
    Is there a way to "force" install of the MB51.007D.B03 which is on Apple's site (which presumably is the latest version) to ensure that I have the latest version installed so that I can safely order the OWC upgrade pack?
    Thanks for any insight,
    /p

    Both ports having different IP's on the same network is not a recommended configuration. If you're trying to increase network bandwidth instead of multi-home, then the proper way to do it is to port-channel. Your switch will need to support bonded interfaces too.
    If you must do it the way you have it set, then you can insert a static route so certain specific destinations are routed through that card. The correct way to do it is with two route statements. Assuming your IP assignments as above, your destination is 192.168.4.15, and you always want to go through the .10 interface, you would add:
    route add -host 192.168.4.15 10.1.4.10
    I haven't tested this so I might have the syntax slightly wrong. The first approach (bonding the two ports) is a much better solution.

  • Is there a way to force applications to use window opening (and closing) animations?

    I'm not a big fan of the fact that most of the time, when windows open, they don't display any sort of animation, and pretty much nothing has a closing animation.
    Is there any way to force all apps to use some sort of animations, and also, is there a way to enable window closing animations?
    It just kind of bothers me, probably because of that fact that I just abandoned Windows 8 for OS X.

    Hack using spell checker's smart quote feature:
    If the document doesn't use double quotes...
    Edit > Find/Change:
    Change all ( to "
    Change all ) to "
    Those are straight quotes.
    Edit > Spell Check:
    On all instances with "string", click [Correct]
    On all instances with "string, type in (string) and click [Correct].
    Edit > Find/Change:
    Change all \` to (
    Change all \' to )
    Those are left and right double curly quotes.
    Yes, you have to hit each instance, but it will be click-to-continue except on mismatch.

  • Is there a way to force a new session so my "on new session" code will run?

    I'm using apex.oracle.com and I find values of application (global) and page items persisting across logins.
    I didn't expect that? I thought they would go away when I logged out of APEX. But I can change the values, logout, and log back in to the same values. And when I login and start an application, it's not running my "shared components > application processes" initialization code which is set "on new session".
    I thought each login would be a distinct new session with it's distinct set of items. (see definition below)
    So when I run an application, is there a way to force a new session so my "on new session" code will run?
    >
    What Is a Session?
    A session is a logical construct that establishes persistence (or stateful behavior) across page views. Each session is assigned a unique identifier. The Application Express engine uses this identifier (or session ID) to store and retrieve an application's working set of data (or session state) before and after each page view.
    Because sessions are entirely independent of one another, any number of sessions can exist in the database at the same time. Also, because sessions persist in the database until purged by an administrator, a user can return to an old session and continue running an application long after first launching it. A user can also run multiple instances of an application simultaneously in different browser sessions.
    Sessions are logically and physically distinct from Oracle database sessions used to service page requests. A user runs an application in a single Oracle Application Express session from log in to log out with a typical duration measured in minutes or hours. Each page requested during that session results in the Application Express engine creating or reusing an Oracle database session to access database resources. Often these database sessions last just a fraction of a second.

    I cleaned up the copy of the Select List code in APEX 4.1.xxx which was not operating correctly before. Now it matches what I have in APEX 4.2.yyyy. And, drum roll please, the select list seemingly works fine there (4.1) as well. But now, the initialization code--which was working fine(!)--FAILS in 4.1!
    <font size="3"><font color="red">•<font face="courier new">
    Okay. Maybe this will help. 1) I logged in. Ran the login page but did not login. Opened the "session" window and wrote down the session ID. Logged out and back in. 2) Ran the login page but did not login. Opened the "session" window and .... it has the same session ID? 3) <b>So the session is persisting across logins!! How is that possible?</b>
    (More) When I log into 3 different applications, I get a different session ID for each but repeated logins always give the same session ID for any given session. </font>

  • Is there a way to force Local Debug

    Hi,
    I can't debug on any oracle 9i server, having this issue :
    Executing PL/SQL: ALTER SESSION SET PLSQL_DEBUG=TRUE
    Executing PL/SQL: ALTER SESSION SET PLSQL_COMPILER_FLAGS=INTERPRETED
    Executing PL/SQL: CALL DBMS_DEBUG_JDWP.CONNECT_TCP( '127.0.0.1', '4000' )
    ORA-30683: failure establishing connection to debugger
    ORA-12541: TNS:no listener
    ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_DEBUG_JDWP", line 68
    ORA-06512: at line 1
    The reason is, I guess, because the Oracle server can't access my computer because there is a firewall between them that I can't remove ...
    But, I also use some Oracle 8i db, behind the same firewall, and these work great !
    It seems that SQL developper do some local debug on oracle 8i, and some remote debug on oracle 9i.
    Is there a way to force local debug on Oracle 9i db from sql developper ? (it should be possible, because TOAD debug works perfectly, so I guess it's using local debug)
    Thanks !

    Thanks
    but I already tried that
    It seems I need to provide my IP address, so that the server can access my computer.
    But even if I provide it, it's impossible for the server to access my computer because there is a firewall between us that I can't remove ...
    There's no way for me to do some remote debug ..
    That's why I'd like to do some local debug ...
