Is there a way to speed up the response time from the dock

Is there a way to speed up the response time for external hard drives from the dock? I have three external HDs but when I click on the alias in the dock there is always hesitation before it opens. I'm leaning towards the fact that it is just a result of the fact that the speed of the Mac is what it is. But, maybe there is something I can do to speed it up. The drives are plugged via usb directly to the Mac and they have there own power source. The curious thing is that they once were plugged into a large separately powered USB hub and I don't recall a lag like I have now. Any thoughts? Thanks...

Have you got the drives set up to spin down when not in use?
Have a look at the Energy Saver settings in System Preference on the Mac.
Make sure the "Put the Hard Discs to sleep when possible" box is not ticked.

Is there a way to switch between workspaces in Spaces from the command line? I want to write a script to set up certain applications in certain workspaces (without having to do it manually each time)...

Is there a way to switch between workspaces in Spaces from the comnand line? I use several workspaces from Spaces, each workspace having a certain number of fixed applications running. Rather than set all this up each time I log on, I'd like to write a script from the command line (I use gawk) to automate this. Currently I have a gawk script that, given a directory, opens a few xterms whose working directory is the given directory, and opens "preview" applied to a certain file in that directory. However, at present I have to manually move an xterm through each workspace and run my gawk script in each workspace (applied to each directory that I'm working on).
There must be a better way...

Addendum: Can this be done via: open -a Spaces --args xxx , where xxx is some set of arguments (or something like this)?

Please help! Is There a way to separate a song by itself from the beat?

Please help! Is There a way to separate a song by itself from the beat? If I have 1 already mixed track. Is it possible to do in GarageBand or or in Logic Express.
If yes, then how?
Thx al lot.

There are a few things you could try like phase inversion or possibly some EQ stuff, but at best you're going to get the instruments a little softer.
It's virtually impossible in most cases to eliminate specific elements of a full mix.

I want to get the System Time from the other host in the LAN,How can I get the Time using Java.
Such as I am in WIN 2000 and I have a Unix host in LAN, I want to get unix host System time, How can I do it.

Open a socket to port 13 and read a string with the time.

Is there a way to delete multiple pictures at the same time from the iphone4s?

Is there a way to deleter multiple pictures at the same time, from my iphone4s? I know how to delete one at a time. Thanks

Open your Photos App > Camera Roll > At the top right corner you will see a rectangle with a right arrow, select that. Now you can select as many photos as you want and you can hit the red Delete button on the bottom right.

I have had my iphone 5 stolen and last backed up approx. 2 months ago. I don't think I've ever gone through and set up PhotoStream however it has always appeared on my phone. Is there any way of getting back messages/photos/etc from the past 2 months?

I have had my iphone 5 stolen/have lost my iphone 5. I haven't backed it up for a while (2 months?!) and I am not sure that I actually set up Photostream however it's always been on there from what I can tell (icon is there). Is there anyway of getting back contacts/messages/photos/anything from the phone onto my new replacement phone if it hadn't been backed up recently? I've got everything up until the last backup - contacts and messages aren't such an issue for me but the photos mean a lot!!!

If you are logged in to icloud with your same Apple ID. Go to setting on your phone>Photos & Camera and turn ON my Photo Stream.

Minimizing the response time of the 10g Application

Hi,
We are developing an application using 10g iDs & Planning to deploy the app using 10g AS in on the internet.
While trying to test the deployment the forms are not responding as desired.
Please let me know if there are ways to minimize the response time so that the App run faster.
can we compress the traffic any way.
best regards
Arkesh

thanks for ur reply
Jinit version=1.3.1.22 is in place
I have checked the form making that as thinnest as possibe.
response time is still high.
I would like add few more information
1. The AS is having a Real IP.
2. Users are connected to that AS via Internet being located at a different site.
Users are annoyed with the responses they are getting from the application.
waiting for replies....

Capturing the response received from the WCF web service method?

Hi,
I am trying to call a WCF web service method with input parameters in an xml file and then receive the returned output data by the web service as response into an xml file.
So far I am able to call the webservice method successfully and not sure how to capture the response data. I am able to see the response data in the tracked message event using the query expression search at the BizTalk group root.
I may be missing something simple in my orchestration(image at http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/getfile/535971) ?
Steps in my orchestration are,
1) Receive the xml file with input parameters
2) Send to webservice using WCF-BasicHttp transport type
3) Receive response from web service
4) Send to xml file
Not sure how I can have 2 receive shapes in series there. I have seen few related posts in the forum but could not resolve.
Could someone please correct me?

Hi Rachit,
Thanks for your quick response. My orchestration is similar to the one in that post. In your post at step 7, how you are able to set 'Activate property' of the receive shape to true? as its the 2nd receive shape in series.
I am unable to post any images or links at the moment. My orchestration is posted at this link http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/getfile/535971
I am able to access the above link using chrome.
Yes, I did use the Request/Response port to communicate with the web service. I
am looking to achieve similar to the one in your post.
Thanks.

How can I improve the response time of the user interface?

I'm after some tips on how to improve the response time to mouse clicks on a VI front panel.
I have data acquistion application which used to run fine, but after spending a couple of weeks making a whole bunch of changes to it I find that the user interface has become a bit sluggish.
My main GUI VI has a while loop running 16 times a second, updating some waveform charts and polling about a dozen buttons on the front panel.
There is sometimes a delay (variable, but up to 2 seconds sometimes) from when I click on a button to when it becomes depressed. I have wired the iteration terminal of the while loop to an indicator on the front panel and can see that the while loop is ticking over during the delayed response to the mouse click, so I know that the problem is not that the whole program is running slow, just the response to mouse clicks.
Also, just for debugging purposes, I have indicators of the iterations of all the main while loops in my program on the front panel, so I can see that there are no loops running abnormally fast either.
One thing I've tried is to turn off multi-threading, and this does seem to work - the response to mouse clicks is much faster. However, it has the side effect of making the main GUI while loop run less evenly. I was trying to get a fairly smooth waveform scrolling across the screen, and when multi-threading is off it gets a bit jerky.
Any other suggestion welcome..
(I am using LabVIEW 7.1, Windows 2000).

Mark.

Hi Altenbach,
Thanks for your reply. In answer to your questions:
I am doing both DAQ board and serial data acquisition. I am using NIDAQ traditional for the DAQ board, and VISA for the serial. I have other similar versions of this program that do only DAQ board, or only serial, and these work fine. It was only when I combined them both into the same program that I ran into problems.
The multiple while loops are actually in separate VIs. I have one VI that acquires data from the DAQ card, another VI that acquires data from the serial port, another VI that processes the data and saves to file, and another VI, the GUI VI, that displays the data in graphs and charts. The data is transferred betwen the VIs via LV2 globals.
The GUI VI is a bit more complicated than I first mentioned. It has tab control, with 4 waveform charts on one page, 4 waveform graphs on another page, and 3 waveform graphs on another page. The charts have a history length of 2560, and 16 data points are added 16 times a second. The wavefom graphs are only updated once per minute.
I don't use the value property at all, but I do use lots of property nodes for changing the properties of the graphs and charts e.g. changing plot colours, Y scale range etc. There is only one local variable (for the Tab control). All the graphs and charts have data wired directly to their terminals.
I haven't done any profiling yet.
I am building arrays in uninitialised shift registers, but this is all well under control. As the experiement goes on, more data is collected and stored, and so the memory usage does gradually increase, but only to the extent that I would expect.
The CPU usage is 100%, but I thought this was always the case when using NIDAQ with DAQ cards. Or am I wrong about this? (As a side note, I am using NIDAQ traditional, but would NIDAQmx be better?)
Execution priority of the GUI vi (and all the other VIs for that matter) is set to normal.
The program is a bit large to post here, and I'm not sure if my company would be happy for me to publicise it anyway, so I suspect that this is turning into one of those questions that are going to be impossible to answer.
Just as a more general question, why would turning off multi-threading improve the user interface response?
Thanks,
Mark.

I live in Europe France can I only download movies from the French Itunes site or is there a way for me to get english movies from the USA

I live in Europe, France, I want to use apple TV, but people tell me that the english movies on the French Itunes are very limited, do I have a way to get more English movies downloaded from Itunes?

There have been three or four questions like this one today relating to the apple stores in various countries. You have to have an account, credit card and address in the country in which the store resides. So you need a US store account, credit card and address to use the US store.
Since I used to live in France, have been frustrated trying to buy books and music from the French app store.

Is there a way to programatically switch a control from the default style to the system style

I was wondering if there was any way to conditionally make a control look like either the default control style or the system control style. The front panel that contained the control would not be running. I'm running Labview 8.0. One possisble way I'm thinking of is changing the type descriptor but I'm not sure how to write to it (I can read it from the 7.x flatten to string function). Another way I'm thinking is maybe changing or applying a typedef but I'm not sure if that's possible either.

" ... If the user wants to pursue this method then it will work, but be prepared to deal with more work than you'd expect."...
My sentiments, exactly. There may come a day when I need to spend an afternoon making one really cool control ... but I don't see it happening anytime soon.

Is there any way for a basemap to be manipulated from the client side?

Hello,
Essentially, we have a basemap (+basemap A+) that contains boundary geography (i.e., county, tract, block boundaries) and we have a theme (+theme A+) that contains housing unit points.
The idea is that theme A will be a layer that the user will be able to switch on/off. We know how to do this, but the problem comes in where performance is concerned.
Previously, theme A was actually included in basemap A, and performance was not an issue, but the problem then was that the user was not able to turn that layer on/off.
Also I have done everything I know in terms of caching as well as using the mapviewer API
(e.g.,
test_theme.setClickable(false);
test_theme.enableInfoWindow(false);
test_theme.enableInfoTip(false);
test_theme.enableLabels(false);
test_theme.enableAutoWholeImage(true);
test_theme.setMinVisibleZoomLevel(5);),
but rendering the theme on the client side is still way too slow (even at zoom level 5).
So, my question boils down to this. Is there any way for a basemap to be manipulated by a user? I.e., Is there a way for a user to pass parameters to a basemap, essentially telling it which themes to turn on/off?
I know you can specify which zoom level the basemap's themes are visible, but again, we want the user to be able to have control of when a certain theme is shown or not.
Thank you for any help you can provide,
John

What you may try is to replicate your base map but take the point theme out of its definition. Then create a second tile layer for the new base map. You can add both tile layers to the client (but set only one of them to be visible). Then simply switch the tile layers' visibility on/off based on user turning on/off the point theme. The built-in Oracle Maps tutorial #22 (Multiple Base maps) has some sample code you might be able to re-use.

Is there a way to format a Jukebox Zen Xtra from the device itself?

Forgot to subscribe to the post

It's been a while since I used my Xtra but I seem to recall there's an option to format the player from the rescue screen - hold down the play button and press the reset button in with a paperclip and you should see a screen with an option to completely format the player. I may be dreaming it, but it's worth a try!
That said, if you can find someone with a PC running Windows XP and Windows Media Player 10 (alternatively, install Windows XP in VirtualBox and upgrade to Windows Media Player 10) you can install the latest "PlaysForSure" Xtra firmware from the download page. Once installed this turns the Xtra into a standard MTP device, allowing you to use it on any machine that supports MTP without having to install any drivers (this includes Windows with Media Player 10 or later installed, so Vista and later are automatically supported). However, you can only install the firmware from a machine running Windows Media Player 10 - if you try with Windows Media Player 11 or later installed the firmware updater will fail to detect the player.
I updated my Zen Xtra to the PlaysForSure firmware when it was first released and never had any issues with my player after that, in XP, Vista or 7 (and it made life much easier as I no longer had to rely on Creative's drivers, which were a little problematic).
