It appears that the time remaining calculation is hindering the download.

So I'm trying to download a 2GB movie on a slow DSL connection. I understand it's going to take a while, BUT...
Why does iTunes try and recalculate the time remaining after 1k of download? Each time it recalcs, it slows down the download. I wait for recalc, then another 1k gets added and it recalcs. What a waste of processing time.
Here's the interesting part. If I pause the download then restart it, bang! I get 1k more instantly. Now if I sit here and pause/start/pause/start/pause/... you get the idea, I can download it faster than just letting it do it's dumb calculation.
Help! Can I turn off the calculation?
Thanks

I agree, there is something strange. I am just downloading an update for my ipad and can see what you are saying.
I also experienced this sort of problem much worse when converting aac to mp3's.
If you stay on the page where you selected the music and start the conversion you can see the progress bar and it goes like a snail with someone standing on it. If you swap to another page where you can't see the progress bar it all speeds up amazingly.
That's life

How do I create a 1d array that takes a single calculation and insert the result into the first row and then the next calculation the next time the loop passes that point and puts the results in thsecond row and so on until the loop is exited.

The attached file is work inprogress, with some dummy data sp that I can test it out without having to connect to equipment.
The second tab is the one that I am having the problem with. the output array from the replace element appears to be starting at the index position of 1 rather than 0 but that is ok it is still show that the new data is placed in incrementing element locations. However the main array that I am trying to build that is suppose to take each new calculation and place it in the next index(row) does not ap
pear to be working or at least I am not getting any indication on the inidcator.
Basically what I am attempting to do is is gather some pulses from adevice for a minute, place the results for a calculation, so that it displays then do the same again the next minute, but put these result in the next row and so on until the specifiied time has expired and the loop exits. I need to have all results displayed and keep building the array(display until, the end of the test)Eventually I will have to include a min max section that displays the min and max values calculated, but that should be easy with the min max function.Actually I thought this should have been easy but, I gues I can not see the forest through the trees. Can any one help to slear this up for me.

I didn't really have time to dig in and understand your program in depth,
but I have a few tips for you that might things a bit easier:
- You use local variables excessively which really complicates things. Try
not to use them and it will make your life easier.
- If you flowchart the design (very similar to a dataflow diagram, keep in
mind!) you want to gather data, calculate a value from that data, store the
calculation in an array, and loop while the time is in a certain range. So
theres really not much need for a sequence as long as you get rid of the
local variables (sequences also complicate things)
- You loop again if timepassed+1 is still less than some constant. Rather
than messing with locals it seems so much easier to use a shiftregister (if
absolutely necessary) or in this case base it upon the number of iterations
of the loop. In this case it looks like "time passed" is the same thing as
the number of loop iterations, but I didn't check closely. There's an i
terminal in your whileloop to read for the number of iterations.
- After having simplified your design by eliminating unnecessary sequence
and local variables, you should be able to draw out the labview diagram.
Don't try to use the "insert into array" vis since theres no need. Each
iteration of your loop calculates a number which goes into the next position
of the array right? Pass your result outside the loop, and enable indexing
on the terminal so Labview automatically generates the array for you. If
your calculation is a function of previous data, then use a shift register
to keep previous values around.
I wish you luck. Post again if you have any questions. Without a more
detailed understanding of your task at hand it's kind of hard to post actual
code suggestions for you.

Why does my cellphone keep saying that estimating time remaining when I try to upgrade the system?

Why does my cellphone keep saying that "estimating time remaining" when I try to upgrade the system?
Is there anyway to fix this situation?

Hi Eric_Sun,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You may want to update your iPhone using iTunes on a computer if your device only shows "estimating time remaining" when you try to update wirelessly:
If you can’t update wirelessly, or if you want to update with iTunes, follow these steps:
If you use your device's Personal Hotspot for your computer's Internet connection, update your device wirelessly or connect your computer to another network.
Install the latest version of iTunes on your computer.
Plug in your device to your computer.
In iTunes, select your device.
In the Summary pane, click Check for Update.
Click Download and Update.
If you see an error message while updating your device, you can learn how to resolve iOS update errors in iTunes.
You can find these steps here:

Why is the time remaining so wrong?

I've noticed over the past few years that the "Time Remaining" estimates from various applications in OS X are increasingly inaccurate - usually the estimate is too long!
This is true for apps from Itunes, to Disk Utility, to <on and on and on>. For example, I was just burning a DVD from a playlist in ITunes and when it started the "Finishing" part - it said "Might be up to an hour". It completed in 30 seconds.
Time estimates are just that - estimates - but do they have to be so wildly inaccurate as to be useless as a guide? I have a feeling nobody in the OS X world has looked at how they update the estimate in a long time, and they do not presently reflect the performance of either hardware or software.
Hey Apple! Update the Time Remaining code! Please?
David

Ignoring the boot progress bar (which I believe is an animation, at least it was in my old Tiger system), the progress bars are usually computed by specifying a range of values to produce a scaling factor and updated by supplying values within that range. The amount of progress is determined by the supplied values within the range.
The segment of code responsible for supplying values is given control on some criteria within the algorithm doing whatever the progress is to measure. There's potentially a lot of variables that can affect when this segment of code is called to update its progress. With disk copies there's how fast the drives are, buffer sizes, what else is running that could interrupt the process, and who knows what else. Certainly you should not expect the progress bar drawing to have a high priority in the grand scheme of things. I'd rather the service be "obsessed" with its primary goal (whatever its service is to do) rather then keeping me constantly updated every millisecond taking valuable cycles from the primary task.

Why is the time remaining going up as I install adobe inDesign through creative cloud?

Why is the time remaining going up as I install adobe inDesign through creative cloud?

Downloads have built-in "checksums" (I think that's the correct term that basically check to make sure the bits of data are being downloaded correctly.
Sometimes the previous check has to redownload the previous bits. That can cause the time to go up.
Also, it may be that your bandwidth speed is slowing down or lots of others are accessing the bandwidth.
BUT if the download goes way, way up—like instead of 12 minutes, it goes to 6 hours, something's wrong with the installation.

When watching an item ending in ebay/firefox, the time remaining doesn't count down.

When watching an item ending in ebay/firefox, the time remaining doesn't count down. However I'm sure it used too.

Just an update...
I took my computer into the Apple Store and they gave me a new battery (again). I also erased my hard drive and reinstalled Lion. I am still having the same problem with my battery icon not counting down (when i have the power cord unplugged). Another thing I may have not talked about is when I unplug my power adapter from my MacBook the screen used to dim slightly, It no longer does that. Hmm. And yes I have checked the power settings.
I am seeing a big difference in my new battery though. The 6 month old battery I was using before my replacement wasn't lasting but maybe and hour before completely turning off my laptop. SInce I got my replacement battery I am back to a regular battery life. Maybe a couple issues going on here...
As a fix, I purchased Battery Guard from the app store and placed the icon on my tool bar. It actually counts down my battery life as a percentage. So its a huge help. I just don't know why the native Mac icon isn't working properly?? One thing I have noticed is the 3rd party app will only count down using a Percentage. But, like the native Mac icon it will not count down using time. Something else to add... After using my battery, and I plug my MacBook back in, the battery icon will count up. Kinda strange that it will count up but not down.
Dstppy, any luck at the Apple Store?

Were you migrating from a Time Machine backup or via WiFi, ethernet, or Firewire?

Why is the Time remaining not showing up screen?

When listening to music the time remaining doesn't show up on the screen. It does show up on my iPhone 4S but not iPod Touch.Why is that?

Because you need to tap the Now Playing screen so that the time scrubber bar is overlayed onto the artwork.

I wish i didn't udgrade to iOs 7. There's too much problems. There's this one time that I can't send iMessage at all.

Hi s.kouris,
I'm afraid that unless you are able to contact the previous owner and have him wipe the device, or provide you with his Apple ID password so you can delete the iCloud account, you are out of luck.
With iOS 7, an Activiation Lock was added to deter thieves. This lock prevents anyone but the owner of the device from deleting the iCloud account and restoring the device:

Unless you are able to reach the original owner and get the device wiped or the iCloud account deleted, you are stuck with a brick.

Calculate the time remaining during File Download ?

Hi
I need to calculate the time remaining of file download . I am using NSURLConnection for file download in Cocoa . I am able to show the download progressbar . I want to show the time remaining for complete download and it should vary if network signal fluctuate .
Please guide me ...
Thanks

The tricky part is to define what is a disturbance
First do once a correlation to find and correct a shift in the signal
Look at the (absolute or squared) difference of both signals and define a threswhold and use the threshold detector vi
from the point location(s) calculate the time and log it.
And have a look at the waveform monitoring vis....

I've switched from Google to Firefox because I was so tired of Google crashed all the time. Now I have the same problem with Firefox, Bank id, file down

Hej!
I've switched from Google to Firefox because I was so tired of Google crashed all the time. Now I have the same problem with Firefox, Bank id, file downloading, accessing Web pages, none of it works. What is the error?
Ronnie.

When Firefox crashes, it usually records information about what was happening at that moment and displays the Mozilla Crash Reporter. Are you seeing that, or is Firefox just freezing and you're killing it?
Assuming you have crashes, you can submit that data to Mozilla and share it with forum volunteers to see whether it points to the solution. Please check the support article "[[Firefox Crashes]]" (especially the last section) for steps to get those crash report IDs, and then post some of the recent ones here.
If that's not possible, have you tried Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
Any difference?

How do I go directly from one frame to another particular frame which is far away in the time line? (e.g the two frames are separated by 100 frames)

How do I go directly from one frame to another particular frame which is far away in the time line? (e.g the two frames are separated by 100 frames). I mean, is it possible to take the playhead from one frame to another frame directly which is 100 frames away in the time line? Thanks for any reply.

In the Timeline, go to the first frame and press M to put a marker on it. Go to the other frame you want to jump to and put a marker on that one too.
Now press Ctrl+Semicolon to go to the previous marker - or Ctrl+Comma to go to the next marker.
Andy

It appears that the time remaining calculation is hindering the download.
