Issues with multiple firewire devices

Over the past few months, I've noticed issues when daisy chaining FW devices to my MBP (a 15" purchased September 2009. Specs are posted in the signature). It often seems that a third device causes connectivity issues. 2 will always work fine (any 2) and of course 1 device is a no-brainer. But as soon as I add a 3rd to the chain, stuff happens, Specifics:
This usually involves 2 hard drives and an audio interface.
The audio interface has a FW 400 input. The hard drives have 800 and 400, among other options.
Since I can always successfully run any 2 devices without issues, I have to eliminate the drives, cables, or the new audio interface as a problem (??)
I'm not aware of any storm or electrical surge to have done damage. Anything is possible, of course.
For my day-2-day work, I need both drives and the audio interface up and running.
Data always seems fine.
The main question is are there any known issues with the FW port/chip on these MBP's. But also, how can I test the FW port integrity?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

When the controller is first plugged in (via usb), a logic popup finds and asks if i want to use this device in logic.
Logic is asking you if you want to use that audio device as Logic's audio driver.
This is entirely independent of MIDI - any MIDI sent to OSX from whatever MIDI device will show up in Logic.
Is there a way in Logic to turn off reading midi for certain devices. I dont want to shut down midi completely as I also use a midi keyboard which works without issues.
Yes, you want to filter out the MIDI coming from that particular port. Open the environment window, go to the Click&Ports layer, and New -> Instrument, call it "Null" or something and make sure it's set to no output port in that object's inspector parameters.
Now, cable the desired MIDI port on the "physical input" object that corresponds to your device, to this "Null" instrument. Now, all MIDI data coming into Logic on that port will be effectively nuked, and will not reach the rest of Logic and interfere with other things.
Of course, you'll need to save this setup as a template or song in order to use it in the future.

Re: Issues with a Firewire device

I have a Firewire device (M-Audio Firewire 410) audio interface that will crash my Win7 on Start-Up. If I shut down the computer with it connected, windows has trouble "closing" the program. So, I now log off - turn it off, and then log back in
to shut down - which works 80% of the time. I was wondering if there was a way I could stably stop it via PowerShell without disabling the Firewire port. Obviously from how I have worded the question, I have a limited understanding the issue.
Any suggestion would be appreciated.
Jeremy

The only legitimate recommendation we can make is that you need to fix the issue. I recommend posing in the vendors forum for the PC or the device.
Treating systems is always a bad idea in medicine and in computers.

Since I've installed Mountain Lion, I am having lock up issues with multiple programs. MS Outlook has crashed and I've lost all my folders. HELP?

Since I've installed Mountain Lion, I am having lock up issues with multiple programs. MS Outlook has crashed and I've lost all my folders. HELP?

okay I've finally been able to get tor and all the other programs to work according to my plan the only thing that's still making problems is that iptables doesn't work as I want it to, when I start chromium without proxy settings privoxy doesn't seem to forward the information to polipo.. do I need to add another rule to iptables.rules in order for the program to know it has to reroute the information again or how can I get this to work? and is there any way to run rtorrent with proxy support?
anyway, problem 2 and 3 are still to be solved.
and does anybody know where i can get a good dansguardian blacklist that was not designed for 6 year old children and for which I don't need to subscribe? I'm still getting these partypoker popups -.-
//e: with iptables it's the same thing as described in the first post. https works, http doesnt. I get the output "Invalid header received from client." on http sites. still no idea why though.. (and the https-version of torcheck.xenubite says i'm tor unprotected while starting the browser with iptables)

We run an iMac 3.4 GHz I7 for our church worship service; we haven't upgraded to Mavericks because we heard about issues with multiple screens crashing. Has this issue been resolved? Thank you!

We run an iMac 3.4 GHz I7 in our church worship service; we have front screens and a stage display monitor ; we haven't upgraded to Mavericks because we heard about issues with multiple screens crashing. Has this issue been resolved? Now that we are 2 upgrades behind, I'm getting little concerned. Thank you!

Oh, well that was a whole other kettle of fish:
Oh the G4 I attempted to install iLife '08 before Lepoard was available. About the only thing that installed cleanly was iPhoto. I ended up reinstalling everything back to iLife '06, and then upgrading back to the current stable version of the iLife '06 version. I didn't attempt a reinstall until after I upgraded to Leopard.
When I did reinstall, I made a iLife '06 folder, copied all iLife apps into it, and upgraded. Seemed to work, except for the part where iMovie gets left behind and iDVD is only mostly functional.
When I installed on the other 2 machines, it was after installing Leopard and all upgrades. On those 2 machines, I didn't bother with the copy, I just moved everything to the iLife '06 folder I created, and did a fresh install.
I didn't have to do anything with the iPhoto Libraries, that I can recall.
I always do an upgrade, never an archive and install. I've never had a problem with this back to 10.1 or 10.2.

SPEL in Extended VO - Issue with Multiple Rows

Hi,
I have extended a seeded VO by adding a new attribute *'Course_Flag'* with attribute type 'Boolean' and Query Column type 'VARCHAR2' and i wa successfully able to personalize and view the data of the new attribute *'Course_Flag'* in the page as ('true' / 'false') aacording to the query where clause.
Now after adding a new image with SPEL property as *${oa.LearnerCatalogCoursesVO.Course_Flag}* it will have an issue with multiple items.
I mean the SPEL will take the first row value 'true' / 'false' and will be corrected rendered according to the value of the first row and ignore other rows values.
Example: if the *'Course_Flag'* value of the first row is 'true' then all the images will be rendered and if the *'Course_Flag'* value of the first row is 'false' then all the images will be NOT rendered.
Please advise if I've missed any step.
Thanks in advance to all.
Regards....Ashraf

Dear Kali,
I have added a new function to the seeded VO SQL +('XXARMS_TRG_EVALUATION_PKG.XX_COURSE_GOT_EVAL')+,
SQL Statment :-
select av.activity_version_id, avtl.version_name, av.language_id, av.start_date,
av.end_date, av.version_code, i.category_usage_id, upper(avtl.version_name) AS SORTVERSIONNAME,
XXARMS_TRG_EVALUATION_PKG.XX_COURSE_GOT_EVAL(i.category_usage_id, av.activity_version_id) Course_Flag from
ota_act_cat_inclusions i, ota_activity_versions av, ota_activity_versions_tl avtl
where i.category_usage_id = :1 and i.activity_version_id = av.activity_version_id and
nvl(av.end_date, sysdate + 1) >= trunc(sysdate) and
av.business_group_id = ota_general.get_business_group_id and av.activity_version_id = avtl.activity_version_id and
avtl.language = userenv('LANG') and
ota_learner_access_util.learner_has_access_to_course(:2,:3,avtl.activity_version_id) = 'Y'
And it is retriving the correct data for each row and i did not write any code in the RowImpl.
Thanks for your help in advance.

HT5219 When can we expect a fix for the Windows 8.1 hot-plug issue with a Thunderbolt device.

When can we expect a fix for the Windows 8.1 hotplug issue with a Thunderbolt device. I got a dock to easy my up-and-go time when moving from using my laptop on the desk vs in meetings. Instead my computer crashes and I have to reboot.
I am seeing this issue with the 2012 Macbook pro Retina running Bootcamp with Windows 8.1 x64 bit with the F4U055 Dock from Belkin

I can confirm that hotplug does work properly on Windows 8.1 with Asus Thunderbolt ExII (Thunderbolt 2)
But does not work with Windows 8.1 and MacBook Pro Retina (Thunderbolt 1)
To get hot plug working with the Asus Thunderbolt ExII, you install the intel thunderbolt drivers, and then you get an interface where you can eject devices, and do things like setup more detailed security. However, this doesn't have any effect with the MacBook Pro. I suspect that either:
1) Apple's Thunderbolt hardware doesn't support hotplugging on windows
2) Hotplugging on Windows requires Thunderbolt 2
So, I should check on my Mac Pro (dustbin edition) to see if it works there with Thunderbolt II
Be great to hear if anybody has any success with this on an Apple device!

Firefox issues with multiple users on a single computer.

I have an issue with Firefox and multiple users on my computer. There are two users setup and I'm running Win7 Ultimate x64. When the other user logs in, my settings in Firefox get screwed up somehow. Even if that user does not open Firefox.
Examples of problems this causes:
Gmail - Cannot load the standard interface, however it will load the HTML only interface.
Facebook - Cannot post anything.
vBulletin Forums - Some forums will no longer normally load - a text-only version loads as if I was browsing from a mobile device.
There may be other issues, but these are the main ones. If I clear my cookies, cache and browsing and download history, then restart Firefox, everything works again.
This seems to happen most often when the other user logs in, and uses Firefox to log on to their Gmail account.
How can I fix this?

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.<br />
See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]]
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

Issues with multiple things since Mavericks update

I installed the Mavericks update and since, I have been having multiple problems with different things on my MacBook Pro 13"
1. Printer issues: I have an HP officejet 6500 wireless printer (Officejet 6500 E709n Series), and now it's having major issues with printing, yet was working perfect prior to update. It will either cut out pages when printing PDF documents, or printing so slow that it has to take a break in between printing each document (an issue that all never occurred until update), to print documents back to back, it will stop after one document as though I have no other documents in queue to print, and pauses for an extremely long time (nearly a full minute, no exaggeration here, literally almost a full 60 seconds), something it's never done before this update. My Apps update even did an update to the HP software that is inside the Mac already to use printing (in other words, the mac doesn't need to have the HP software manually installed for it to work, it automatically sees the printer because it is connected to my wireless network just as my Macbook Pro which is also connected wirelessly to my network).
2. Internet issues: am now unable to click on certain links in safari that I was able to use prior to the update, yet they will open fine inside of firefox with no issues, yet I cannot always switch between two different browsers to perform task online (literally have to start all over inside firefox while in the middle of something in safari). Also lots of websites no longer work correctly and I have to constantly clear history and cookies to attempt to use certain sites, at times it will help, other times it wont work period, yet the same exact site will work perfect in firefox (which I do not use, only on my system for use on certain sites for school because in safari prior to the update, I would have issues with only the class site and some links not working at all, no spinning wheel, no errors, just nothing, no response of any kind, basically worse than what it was before the update). Another issue, hit Ctrl+a to select inside Safari and it highlights, but then when you click out of the highlight, it comes back on it's own several times without you hitting anything, just click inside the screen on a blank space (no links, etc) with touchpad.
3. System issues: My system is way slower than what it was prior to the update, click on things and it wont respond at all, then minutes later will eventually respond or pops up the spinning color wheel, which it either never responds or takes an extremely long time to respond. And no matter how much I restart, it doesn't help anything. Even just to sit doing nothing, no clicking or usage on the system, and the color wheel pops up.
4. Mail issues: Mail is now popping up completely blank messages that I have sent out, the person receives it with no issues, yet I cannot look at the message I sent neither in the inbox or the sent items when I need to look at them again, an issue not present prior to update. Also I an now having issues when receiving mail, sometimes it will check for mail and sometimes I have to manually click to make it check the server for mail, an issue not present prior to update as well.
As of now, since I have had the chance to used the system since the update, these are the issues I have had, yet haven't had the chance to check other things, so there may be other issues that are occurring that I'm not aware of at the moment. I knew it would be a mistake to do this "free" update and did so anyway and now having one issue after the next with each application I open to use.
Mac general info:
Mac is one year old, purchased brand new, no shareware programs of any kind installed.
Use for school and basic web surfing use.
Do not install any programs onto system that I'm unsure are safe (basically programs for/from school/school websites only, or from the Mac Apps store only), not even programs like Skype, nor any windows based programs of any kind.
Lots of free memory avail because I save everything onto external hard drives (purchased brand new as well, only 4months old) in case system crash occurs, only things on the system is Itunes music or pics from photo stream that sync to the system when Iphone connected.
Mac system info:
- Processor 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5
- Memory 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
- Graphics Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB
- Software OS X 10.9
- Number of Processors:          1
- Total Number of Cores:          2
- L2 Cache (per Core):          256 KB
- L3 Cache:          3 MB

For those needing help fixing their system and putting it back to Lion or Mountain Lion, this is what I have done to eliminate all my issues in about an hour (depending on your internet connection).
Amazing thing, I just restored my computer back to Mountain Lion, and she's working perfect again, as I knew she would. E-mail popping into mailbox instantly as it should and did before the update, printer working fast as it was before update, no more freezing or glitches of any kind thankfully and finally. Here is the link that is through the Apple site to direct you on how to put your system back and get rid of Maverick's, that is assuming that is what you would like to do and also includes link for those wanting to try fixing the issue if that is your preference (most of this info is for those with mountain lion and some with the previousverisoin of OS X lion).
If you want to keep Maverick's here is a good post on the apple discussion board to help you out:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6161
If you just want to totally get rid of it and put back what you had before, this is the short version of how to do so:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3353
NOTE: This particular link has a lot of info on what to do for different situations, it is a bit lengthy, yet still very helpful.

OS X: About OS X Recovery (also from apple support directly and includes some instructions just the same as previous links above):

Just in case you aren't sure what it will all look like as you are doing things, this is a link to show you a few pics of what you will see as you as you are going through the process, it can be helpful for those who aren't sure what they are doing or how to do things at all:

I hope this helps someone, it was amazing for me and my system is working perfect again like it was, battery life is way better went from like 3 hours to like 5 (not on full charge by the way, after it sat for a while doing the online update which took a while so that's saying something alone, huge improvement). I plan to wait a while before attempting to reinstall Maverick's, long enough for them to fix the bugs.

Screen ipad doesn't respond during video viewing home sharing with multiple iOS devices simultaneously

A have a problem with the videos app and iTunes home sharing on multiple iOS devices.
This is my setup. On my iMac 2006 with Snow Leopard I have:
- 100+ dvd's ripped in my iTunes movie section
- 600+ episodes ripped in iTunes TV-section in 35 TV-shows
- 1 apple tv, 1 iPad 2, 1 iPad mini
On an average evening my family is watching different tv-shows simultaneously on the apple tv, the ipad, an iphone, and an ipad mini.
This is done through home sharing on the one iTunes library.
All updated apps, software etc..
What happens on the ipads, after viewing for more than 10 minutes, the user interface doesn't show up when tapping the screen. The touchscreen doesn't respond, only the home button works. Clicking the home button closes the app, but the sound of the video keeps on playing. Opening up the videos app again gives a black screen with sound still playing and still no button or UI.
The only workaround which currently works is killing the videos app. Power off the ipad and power on again, reconnect to the shared library, wait until it has found all the content (1+ minutes) and startup the tv show again.
All in all, a nasty way to pause your viewing or switching to another movie of tv episode, or even wanting to finish viewing.
The problem has haunted me for a year now, patiently waiting and hoping software-updates would fix it. They didn't.
A fix would obviously hugely improve my user experience, getting it on par with Apples usual quality of service.
Anyone familiar with this problem? Apple: is it possible to fix it in an update?

Same here for over a year now.
You cant imagine how happy i am that im not the only one with this problem.
many of frinds have the same setup as me (ipad 2, 27"imac, express, apple tv 2)
No problem
I had the problem on Snow Leopard, lion and now on mountain lion.
I'am also starting to get a new problem - sometimes when waching a movie on iPad or ATV it just quits the movie and you have to start it again
on the iPad most of the time it also shows the wrong cover art. I tried all the hints here, and i works for a day or two then its wrong again
I store my itunes library on an external drive - you ???

Playback Issues with multiple framerates and Blackmagic Decklink 4K Extreme

I recently swapped by AJA Kona Card for a Blackmagic Decklink 4K Extreme in order to get external monitoring in DaVinci Resolve.
I'm working in a 1080p 23.976 project that includes some 29.97 SD and HD footage. When loading this 29.97fps footage into my source footage, I periodically encounter frozen playback (The play triangle in my toolbar becomes a square symbol and remains that way). From there I am unable to playback any footage in any timeline, and requires a full system shutdown to return to normal! The problem is seemingly intermitent, with successful playback happening sometimes.
The 29.97 footage was DVCPRO, I attempted to transcode to Prores to troubleshoot. No dice. I believe it to be an issue related to the Decklink's inability to handle multiple framerates on-the-fly but wanted to submit here, too. I've also experienced intermittent sync delays on my broadcast monitor.
Decklink Driver 10.0
Premiere CC 7.2.1
Mac OSX 10.9.2 (same problem pre-mavericks)

Hi Andy,
You should not have any issues with Blackmagic handling multiple formats on the fly. However, I believe the frozen playback issues your describing is related to the Desktop Video 10 driver. I suggest rolling back to 9.3.3 for the time being. Blackmagic is looking into this issue now.

Issues with External Sound Devices & others - 13" Late 2011

Good day community,
Out of curiosity, I run Diablo 3 on OS X and its been unplayable since ROS expansion, massive fps drops and crashes, Blizzard claims Apple stopped improving hd3000 drivers on 10.8.3, is this true? Also when I run the game through windows via bootcamp it performs better and doesn't not crash, is this related to hd3000 driver support still being improved in windows?
Other issues I'm experiencing, facetime most of the time fails if I try to pickup a call from the macbook, sometimes it notifies me of the incoming call (iphone 5s) sometimes it doesn't. Bluetooth doesn't work, not even with apple devices, I can't pair any of them. External sound devices such as m-audio fast track pro, native instruments audio 8 dj, allen & heath xone 4d, they all have latency issues and sound clips and pops, even with the onboard sound I experience this if I open a couple graphic editing software while playing itunes. Checked sample rate in audio/midi setup, drivers, firmware, everything seems up to date, I'm not using a USB hub, I updated to Yosemite from Mavericks, which was a terrible upgrade from Mountain Lion and it completely lagged the computer, so when I upgraded to Yosemite I ran disk utility from boot and apparently repaired the hard drive successfully. Performance is better but none of the above issues were solved.
So I'm thinking about formatting from scratch but wanted to drop a line here and see if others have any of these issues and/or some tips.
Thank you for your time.

Issue with multiple digital signatues in form

Hello all-
I'm having an issue with a form that has multiple digital signatures. The form additionally has a listbox in which the user can select recipients to email the form to. My objective is to be able to send a form to various users by email to sign digitally. After extending the features for Reader, I inserted a standard Livecycle digital signature by clicking on one of the digital signature fields. However, after inserting the digital signature, I can't perform any other actions (email the form by selecting recipients from the listbox, clicking a different digital signature field for signature insertion, etc.) It is as if the digital signature instertion made an uneditable snapshot of the form, which I do not want to do. What can I do to rectify this process?
Will upload the form if necessary.
Thank you and happy holidays.

Mr. Kumar,
The desired workflow is for
1)      Firefighter 1 to complete the top portion of the Agreement
section, sign in the Firefighter 1 signature field (which locks the top
portion of the Agreement Section), then select Firefighter 2 from the
e-mail drop down list and e-mail the PDF form to Firefighter 2;
2)      Firefighter 2 opens the e-mail and the PDF attachment,
completes the second portion of the Agreement Section, sign in the
Firefighter 2 signature field (which locks the bottom portion of the
Agreement Section), select Lieutenant 1 from the e-mail drop down list
and e-mail the PDF form to Lieutenant 1;
3)      Lieutenant 1 opens the e-mail and the PDF attachment, checks
the approved box, signs the Lieutenant 1 signature field, select
Lieutenant 2 from the e-mail drop down list and e-mail the PDF form to
Lieutenant 2;
4)      Step three continues through Lieutenant 2, Battalion Chief 1
and Battalion Chief 2
5)      Battalion Chief 2 sends the fully completed form back to
Firefighter 1 who copies the completed form to Firefighter 2
Note: if any of the officers disapprove the agreement the disapproved
form is immediately sent back to Firefighter 1

Form Size issue with multiple Digital Signatures

I have created a form (liveCycle 8) with multiple digital signatures required. When each user signs the form, that section of the form is locked using collections. The form is workflow through email after each user signs it. Each time the user signs and forwards the form, the form's size becomes too large.
How can the form be optimized to compress each time an users signs the form?
Thank you,
Lori

Steve,
After your request to post the form, I wanted to removal some company items like the Logo. Once I removed the Logo, I found the biggest issue was a Logo image size that was making the file so large. Once I reduced the image size, the signatures only added 46kb at each signature level.
Thank you for your help,
Lori

Script issue with multiple lines printing

Dear All,
As i Mentioned in my earlier post, the same coding working fine in Quality server --> Printing multiple lines in script output.
But now, I have the same reqt. in another window.
So, I did the same coding.
But, this time it's printing the last line of the internal table in all the lines.
This is happening in Quality Server only.
The only difference between the previous internal table and this int. table is:
1. The first int. table content is printing in MAIN Window. ---> working fine
2. The second int. table content is printing in VARIABLE window. ---> NOT WORKING.
Can any one tell me what's the issue with this ?
Regards,
Deepu.K
