Issues with playing installed games

Whenever I go to play a game on my HP Touchsmart 300, such as, Dota 2 or anything else that has been installed on my harddrive it tabs out to the desktop every few minutes. Is there anything i can do to fix it?

Hey,
It definitely sounds like there maybe some background apps interfering with Dota. Does Dota close out entirely or just minimize (like when using Alt+TAB?). I would definitely try doing a clean boot, then playing once more. If you don't experience the issue any more you may have the cherry pick through your Startup programs and services to see if any are causing this issues. (I would assume any security program that may run a scan would be the first thing to look at).
Try this out and let us know how things go

Issues with play back in the time line

I am having issues with play back in the time line.
am working with footage captured off a DVCAM Tape in a DV/DVCPRO NTSC Time line.
My settings are set to match the source footage so I dont have to render. What ends up happening is the footage at times plays fine and smooth and then out of no where it will start playing choppy. like its lagging. But the Audio stay fine. I use to have to problem before but then it stopped.
Now its back and I can not figure out why it does this. Usually a restart of the system would help solve it but now it still keeps coming back.
i have tried different settings in the RT menu and still seem to be having the same problem.
i am running the footage of 3 1TB drives in Raid0 and the System has 16GB of Ram. So I dont see this being the issue.
any ideas?

of course not, the system boots from a 320GB Western Digital Hard Drive. (the one that came with the system)
I have a feeling that its not the Hard Drive, but no idea what it could be.

Since updating Firefox I have problems with playing Zynga games

since updating Firefox I have problems with the Zynga games I am playing. The functions often stop working so I have to reboot the game. Also there are often a lot of items missing on my screen so I can't play at all

I have this problem, as well, since the upgrade to 4.0.1. After the upgrade, I found several 'Recovered Files' in my Trash. On taking a look, they all had to do with the Crowdstar app. Happy Aquarium, I believe, but there are several folders of them. Some of them could have to do with Zynga's FarmVille.
However, after repeated problems, I installed Chrome 10. to see if the Facebook apps. would work. They did, without problems. That tells me the folders in Trash shouldn't have anything to do with whether they operate or not but it has something to do with something Firefox has done, or not done, with this upgrade. Frankly, I'm baffled and more than a little annoyed. :/
However, thinking back to the upgrade, it happened suddenly while I was on the phone with AppleCare on another matter. It was they who suggested I needed to upgrade my browser and I did it immediately, on-the-spot. It wasn't what you would call a 'clean install' because I was on the phone but also online with AppleCare. The process went so fast, I remember there were things about the installation that didn't quite seem right and I do remember that the earlier version of Firefox was not removed prior to the upgrade. Is there any chance something could be out-of whack because of this? If so, I need to know how to save my passwords, bookmarks, profile, and any other critical info that would need to be transferred.

Widgets issues with recent install of Mountain Lion on my iMac.

Since installing Mountain Lion my screen periodically locks up an shifts to the right. I noticed along the left a charcoal background with large dot pattern was showing while the screen was shifted and locked to the right. Then a few times the widgets screen popped up on its own and I realized the background matched what I was seeing when the lock ups happen (I have never used the widgets). So it appears the Widgets screen keeps trying to launch spontainiously. I did notice the Fetch widget had an alert on it and with some investigation found that Fetch Works no longer had a widget for Mountain Lion, so I just deleted it. This I thought fixed the bug but now today the shifting and locking up has started again. I did take the machine in to have a Genius run a diagnostic because of the hard drive issue with the iMacs but he said all looked fine and reinstalled Mountain Lion while I was there to see if that helped.. but it did not. Has anyone else run into this? If so, were you able to fix it? it actually just happened twice while I was typing this and I had to sit and wait for it to not be locked up so I could complete...

You can use the Mountain Lion USB disk that you created or you can press Command and R keys on boot, but it will download OS X Mountain Lion from the Internet

Issue with playing music in itunes

I recently just got iTunes on my new HP Vista laptop. When I used an external harddrive to move my music from my other computer to the laptop all was fine. When i put the songs and albums up in itunes and tried to play it, it would not play. The buttons were in position for it to play, it was just physically not moving or playing at all. To test to see if my song files were ok i tried to play the file in windows media player, they appeared to be playing but no sound was being made(mute wasn't on and my sound for the computer is fine, drivers and all). I have no clue if I accidently deleted something vital for the playing of sound files or something, i do know i did delete alot of the extra unnecessary stuff HP had preinstalled on the notebook and could've possibly deleted something used for the sound of song files. I'm usually a dell person so i'm not completely familiar with HPs and their functioning, but i have a HP Pavilion dv6500 special edition. I'm aware this model had issues with sound and audio but i mean my sound is working fine its just that when i try and use a program like itunes to play the song it physically doesn't play it, it just idles(the song's progess bar does't move and is at 0:00 when its set to play and no sound is made. If anyone knows what might be the problem, i'm all ears

After the recent update I am having issues with Flash based games freezing and not responding.

After the recent update I am having issues with flash based programs not running or loading correctly. The programs will not load or take an extremely long time to load compared to jsut a few days ago. This happens across the board on anything flash based. Also, once they do load they will freeze, stop responding or need to be constantly refreshed to come back alive which is short lived at best. I went thru the help and did all the file deleting, cache clearing, disabling hardware acceleration, removing then reinstalling flash, and even removing and reinstalling my browsers. None of this has helped at all. I am using Chrome and it is up to date and I checked my Flash player and it is up to date. I am running windows 7 64bit.

Here's what you're up against guys,
Adobe writes the base code for Flash Player, and then hands it off to Google, who adapt it to a PPAPI plug-in (it's NPAPI when Adobe writes it). It's then "PepperFlash" and Google embeds it in their Chrome browser. While Google is pushing a "webwide" move to PPAPI Flash Content, a reinvention of the wheel so to speak, not everyone "got the memo", and Google is slowly making it so that PepperFlash will block NPAPI Flash content from running properly, and you have to disable PepperFlash to force the NPAPI plug-in to work, which sometimes fixes it, sometimes not. I have a feeling this is only going to get worse. HTML5 will eventually resolve the video end but game developers need to come up with something that won't require a plug-in.
And to the first post: Since PepperFlash is embedded in Chrome by Google, you can uninstall and reinstall Flash Player from here until your hard drive literally seizes up.... guess what? It has NO EFFECT at all on the PepperFlash plug-in in Chrome because it's a separate file in a separate folder and the uninstaller & installers don't have anything to do with it.

Issue with playing quicktime movie on win pc

I've run into an issue with dvds a friend burned on a mac. The quicktime
movie files on the discs play fine on macs, but will begin to stutter
and freeze 35 minutes in on win xp. i've tried multiple pcs with no
luck.
The same thing happens when I copy the files to the hard drive. I tried the VLC
player instead of quicktime, but that closes altogether after 35 minutes. I
also tried copying the files to an external hard drive with the same results.
Quicktime is at latest version.
I saw a post here about files over 1GB being problematic in windows with the FAT file system. The PCs I'm using are using the NTFS file system. The files are over 2GB, and they spaz out at the halfway mark, so perhaps that is part of the problem. But I'm stunned that there aren't more posts on this topic if that's the case.
Any help would be much appreciated!

Jshanh
I have had similar problems. I have not experienced the
looping problem but I very often experience the problem of
Quicktime not playing in Shockwave.I think that I can solve the
second part of your problem ( if I understand it correctly).
You can make a streaming progress sprite for quicktime that
indicates to the end user what percentage of the Quicktime movie
has streamed. The sprite appears as a small box that shows a 1 then
a 2 then a 3 etc up to 100. You can of course make another text
sprite that tells the user what the numbers mean e.g. % streamed.
Method
Make a text sprite and leave it blank (this text sprite will
show the appropriate number during enduser viewing) name the member
stream display. Name the Quicktime member swing 1a and put it in
the timeline. Right click on the quicktime sprite in the stage
window and in the resulting pop up menu select Script . In the
Script window write the following script
on exitFrame me
member("stream display").text=\
string(member("swing1a").percentStreamed)
end

Issues with recently installed quicktime

I will admit having the occassional crashing issue with premiere, but since in installed the newest version of quicktime (I believe it's 7.4) premiere holds out for about an HOUR maybe! if I'm lucky, usually if i attempt anything audio editing, it crashes and I'm back to square one.
it seems to hold for exporting files (through the media encoder or to AVI) but the second one attempts to do any editing, extending or shortening clips, down it goes with that lovely "Premiere has experienced an unknown error and will attempt to save your project" (Which it doesn't).
Given I'm working with a large project it is annoying for the 20 minute pause for it to re-load, only to have it go down a few minutes later.
It doesn't matter the scene/sequence I'm editing.
I do need quicktime for some of the projects I'm working on right now, but if it's the cause of this issue...I'm not sure sure it's viable.
I've uninstalled it, and I'm going to give it a run for the night see if that helps, but if it doesn't, any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
H.R. Crystal

Thanks Jon. I'm going to go download and install 6.5.2 now.
I JUST LOVE! how everyone tells you to have the most up to date Quicktime, but ack! seems to cause issues.
I'll see if this fixes my issues.
Appreciated the note on the version.

SSH/PAM login issue with fresh install: edit wiki or raise bug?

I recently encountered an issue while setting up Arch on a headless server, and was wondering if I did something stupid, the documentation should be improved or I found a bug.
The problem was that after adding a new non-root user, I couldn't SSH into that user account. I could still login to root via SSH fine. After some research and playing around I found I was able to login by setting UsePAM to no in /etc/ssh/sshd_config. I later realised that this was because I set the login shell for this account to /usr/bin/bash, and not /bin/bash. The problem is that currently /usr/bin/bash is not in /etc/shells, and the default /etc/ssh/sshd_config sets UsePAM to yes.
As this is a new default install, and I followed the wiki during the install, I feel that this should have been documented somewhere. I don't mind changing the wiki or reporting this as a bug, just I'm not sure which is the correct course of action:
1. Should I have known to use /bin/bash and not /usr/bin/bash, i.e. the login shell needs to be in /etc/shells? => edit the wiki [1]
2. Should /usr/bin/bash be in /etc/shells? => raise a bug against filesystem [2]

The wiki should be changed. /bin/bash is the correct entry in the list of shells.
I cannot, however, remember off hand in which context this came up. I just remember this was the developers' response. So I can't point you to evidence to confirm even though I do know that is the correct answer.

Issues with clean install of Snow Leopard in Leopard MacBook

Hi all,
This is the sequence of events:
1) MacBook from 2007, running Leopard.
2) Got Snow Leopard, did the install on top of the existing OS, just as an "update".
2) After machine restarts, several issues were detected, apparently all OS related: Finder crashed, Apple Mail didn't even open, etc.
3) Download software update from Apple.com (for "performance improvement"). Installer itself crashes!! Can't install update.
4) Decided to go for a clean install with complete restore of hard drive
5) Put in Snow Leopard DVD, boot from it, erase and format hard drive. Got a "Can´t install... contact the manufacturer" error.
6) Don't have my original Leopard OS DVDs at hand at the moment, but will try that later.
Question is: to do a clean install, after restoring the hard drive, do I need to install Leopard first, and only after that Snow Leopard?
(I tried installing Leopard from the DVDs of another MacBook (2008), that didn´t work either. I gather it could be small hardware differences, so I'm still hopeful for when I try with my original restore DVDs...)
Any help will be greatly appreciated!! I mean, this is was supposed to be a no-brainer... :-/

1. You have some peripheral or RAM that is not compatible with the installation.
See my FAQ*: http://www.macmaps.com/badram.html if there are no peripherals attached. You need a minimum of 1 GB of RAM to install Snow Leopard.
1. No peripherals. RAM is only what came with original machine. Have 2GB.

2. Your machine has some hardware issue preventing installation:

2. Will verify this later with the original installation CDs. It would be bad news... my MAC was running completely fine before Snow Leopard!!
a brody wrote:
3. You are using the wrong installer disc. For a 2007 machine, only a copy of Snow Leopard which looks like * that does not say Upgrade or DropIn or OEM will work.
3. I have an Install DVD, just like that one.
Thanks a lot for the input! Greatly appreciated.

Re: Satellite U305-S7477 - issue with clean install from recovery disks

Im trying to do a clean OS install of Vista onto a new hard drive, the install runs correctly but at the end, instead of it requesting me to create a user id and password as the machine does at first boot up when new, it shows a login for administrator with a message that the administrator account has been disabled, and another to input a pre-existing user name and password, which I do not have since this is a clean install.
Does Toshiba want me to only run the recovery on top of a pre-existing OS install? That would be quite a limitation, and would prevent one from recovering their machine after a hard drive dies.
Any thoughts? I did look thru the docs for a default password, but if it's there I didn't find it.
Thanks in advance!

Hello
To be honest your issue is strange to me. The fact is, for operating system installation you can use either Microsoft installations DVD or Toshiba recovery DVD. In both cases when installation is almost done you must enter your username and password (optional). There is no difference at all.
I have done recovery installation many times under WXP and Vista. No difference at all. Username must be entered always and I didnt notice such issue as described in your posting.
So please try to install OS again and be careful with each installations step. All recovery installations images are tested and I cannot imagine Toshibas people can oversight something like this.

Issue with default install of SOA suite under Windows

Hello,
I installed SOA Suite without error, using the defaults of the Basic Installation.
When I start the SOA Suite, it starts up without error, but reports that ASG is Status=Down
When I try to create an Integration Server in JDeveloper, and test it, everything works, with the exception of the ESB Server:Fail, which in the details is listed as:
ESB Connection, Not Run
Can anyone explain these behaviors (ASG Status=Down and ESB Connection = Not Run)? Are these normal based on not installing products from the Advanced options? I'm in the process of an evaluation and I don't want to go too far down a path if my system is already somewhat broken.
Thanks.
--T
Thank you very much.

The ASG down is normal - it is not causing the other issue you have.
The JDev integration server connection error (ESB not run) is unfamiliar to me. Make sure you have created the Application Server connection properly (choose standalone). The Test Connection button for the Integration Server connection shows you status for the Application Server, the BPEL Server, and the ESB Server - what does it say for each of these?
Heidi.

Problem solved!

Issue with newly installed harddrive

My original harddrive crashed reacently, the odd thing was that it worked sometimes when I booted, but after a while the system froze again.
I bought a new harddrive which I was able to install macos onto. After a few hours of usage I experienced the same problems with this drive, and now I only get the question mark screen when I boot.
What can the issue be here?
I was at first thinking that the issue was the old harddrive, but now I am thinking that it might be the controller.
Is there a fix for that, or do I need to buy a new computer all together?

The SATA cable may be the cause of the problem.
You can test the hard drive, if you place it in an external enclosure and boot off it while holding the option key at startup.
