JS ScriptUI window too busy to accept a click

I have a script that shows a Script UI 'window' (resizable, with minimize/maximize buttons etc).
The users can keep this interface minimized or put it beside the document, and still work with the active document (which is good).
(A previous interface for the same "main import code", used the old InDesign modal dialogue, that did not allow this.)
My problem is that as soon as I click the "start" button on this ScriptUI window, I can no longer interact with the form, until it's all done. It seems to be "too busy" to interact with anything at all, while running the main code loop. I can't even move the window.
The Esc (Escape) button does not work (I wouldn't expect it to either).
When the main loop (initiated by the Start-button) is done, the form is accessible again.
Is there a way to let the main code "wait" a fraction of a second, to let it accept button clicks? I'd like to have an abort button on the window, or just any way to let a user abort the script code before it's all done.
Thanks,
Andreas

Andreas,
You can try using
myPalette.update();
Where si myPalette your variable name for ScriptUI palette.
Unfortunately, there are some issues on MacOS when update is happening too quickly.
Hope that helps.

  • ISight to run in MSN (Windows Vista Business via Parallels)

    Hi guys !
    I'm a MAC newbee and as I need to run some Windows applications I have installed Windows Vista Business via Parallels.
    Everything works just fine - except for the iSight web-cam when running MSN. I have installed the AppleiSight drivers from the Leopard DVD into the Windows Vista and I did get it running once. But since then the iSight won't start if running MSN. The iSight works perfectly in PhotoBoot, iChat and so on, so there's no problem with the actual HW.
    If I try ro re-install the drivers it seems they're already installed, still my MSN doesn't find any cam connected.
    I read somewhere that I might need to make the iSight camera "available" to Windows, but I haven't been able to figure out where that might be - if that is really the case... ??!! So if anyone can point me in the right direction here it would be just awesome...
    THANKS !!!

    I am having trouble getting the isight to work with aMSN messenger. When the video comes up, I can see myself in the screen viewing box, but the person I am messaging cannot. I am aware that MSN is a microsoft program and therefore might not work with apple. aMSN says that my isight is firewalled or blocked by a router and that I need port forwarding. I was wondering if there is any way around this or if anyone knows the numbers involved for the port forwarding?
    "If you are unable to view a webcam in aMSN after a contact has send you an invite, or after you have issued the command to receive/send webcam, and you are behind a router, you may need to follow these steps:
    If you receive: IP-Restrict-NAT and you receive false in webcam wizard, that means your connection is firewalled. (does not send the IP)
    If this is the case, you will need to open some ports for the webcam to use because they are currently blocked.
    To do this, open your router web-based configuration (check router manual for details on this). Once you have the web-based configuration open, browse for a setting called "port forwarding" or "port range forwarding" or something similar to that. (This might be found under the advanced features for your router).
    Now that you have the port forwarding page open, you will want to set the port forwarding range so that aMSN will be able to accept and send the webcam stream.
    Here's an example of how you will set up your port forwarding:
    Application: aMSN
    Start: 6890
    End: 6900
    Protocol: Both(TCP & UDP)
    IP: xxx.xxx.x.xxx
    Enabled: X (Yes/True)
    Note: xxx.xxx.x.xxx is the IP of your machine that you are trying to send / receive webcam
    If you have a web server open on your port 80, you can try to disable it too, sometimes it helps."

  • Warning: Palm OS Treos and Windows Small Business Server 2008

    If you use a Treo smartphone with the Palm operating system, beware:  it does not work with Microsoft Windows Small Business Server 2008.
    Palm acknowledges this failure and has no intention of fixing it. 
    There are at least two problems:
    (1) You must turn off all email security on the Exchange mail server to sync with Treos.
    (2) AutoSync locks up the Palm each time it occurs, and must be turned off.
    Here's the transcript of my chat w/tech support. After this, I spent a few hours on the phone and got the same answers.
    [12:35 AM] Gary says: Hello.
    [12:35 AM] Handoff connection active (1/5140).
    [12:35 AM] x says: Hi. Please see the question sent earlier.
    [12:36 AM] Gary says: Could you please be more specific about the issue?
    [12:37 AM] x says: Our Palms will not talk to Exchange Server 2007 unless all its security
    features are turned off. This is a problem with Palm/VersaMail. When will it be corrected?
    [12:38 AM] Gary says: Yes, that is true. I am sorry for the inconvenience this may have caused.
    [12:38 AM] Gary says: I am very sorry to inform you that currently we do not have any information on this.
    [12:39 AM] x says: Apology accepted and appreciated. But when will this be fixed?
    [12:40 AM] Gary says: Unfortunately we do not have any sort of update on this. I suggest you to post the
    feedback in the Palm Website.
    [12:41 AM] x says: Okay, next question:  Every AutoSync locks up the Palm, so we have to turn
    AutoSync off. Do you intend to rectify this problem?
    [12:42 AM] Gary says: I understand your concern. Is it happening with all the Palm devices?
    [12:42 AM] x says: Yes.
    [12:43 AM] Gary says: Do you receive any error message before locking up the Treo?
    [12:43 AM] x says: No.
    [12:46 AM] Gary says: Okay, as this happening with all the devices to me it looks like the issue should be
    diagnosed closely to find the root cause. Was this happening with the Exchange Sever 2003?
    [12:46 AM] x says: No
    [12:46 AM] Gary says: So, the AutoSync feature is Locking the device from the day you upgraded to the
    Exchange Sever 2007.
    [12:46 AM] Gary says: Am I correct?
    [12:47 AM] x says: yes.
    [12:48 AM] Gary says: Okay, as this is the issue related to the sync with the Exchange Server 2007 and the
    AutoSync to find out the root cause I will escalate this issue to our escalation channel which is our Voice
    Support Team.
    [12:48 AM] Gary says:
    I will provide you all the information and guide you in the correct direction to address this issue.
    [12:48 AM] Gary says:
    I suggest you to get in touch with the Voice Support and I am sure they will fix the issue.
    [12:49 AM] Gary says:
    I will provide you a Service Request, when contacting the Voice Support, provide this Service Request Id and you will get a free Technical Support.
    [12:51 AM] Gary says: Please provide me your Last name, First name, complete address, phone number,Email address, date and place of purchase of device and serial number of the device to create a Service Request Number.
    [12:51 AM] x says: Of course I provided all this when I logged in, but here it is again:....
    [12:54 AM] Gary says: Thank you for providing all the information.I need 5 minutes to register the device and create a Service Request.
    [12:55 AM] x says: Thanks for your help, and confirmation of the incomprehensible failure to support Exchange Server 2007.  We're this close to dumping these things if this is the kind of tech support Palm intends to provide.
    [1:00 AM] Gary says: Thanks for staying on hold: I am sorry for the delay. I can understand the inconvenience you are facing.

  • Migration of Windows Small Business Server 2003 to Windows Server 2012 Essentials

    Hi,
    I am trying to migrate Windows Small Business Server 2003 to Windows Server 2012 Essentials by following the steps given in the link below:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj200112.aspx
    I have looked at other threads on the forum but none of them have been too helpful.
    The issue: When
    I run the Migration Preparation Tool on the Source Server, it runs successfully and does not report any errors. However, when I try installing Windows Server 2012 Essentials on the Destination Server, it displays an error that says 'Source
    Server not prepared for migration: After you run the Migration Preparation Tool successfully on your source Server, click retry'.
    The Source Server has 2 network adapters-one for the local network and the other for connection to the internet and the router is set as the default gateway this adapter.
    Since it is mentioned in the documentation - 'configure your Source Server to use one network adapter', I'm wondering if this is the issue and I need to make changes in this configuration? 
    On running the Microsoft IT Environment Health Scanner tool it
    reported an error - 'DNS Server listening on multiple addresses' and a warning ‘Domain Controller listening on multiple addresses’. Both point to the same solution KB 272294 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/272294).
    But it did not remove the errors.
    Other steps performed:
    As per the steps, I performed a backup, installed recent service packs and synchronized the source server time with external source.
    On running the Best Practices Analyser. It shows 3 warnings.
    - The threshold for the Allocated Memory alert is set to the default value. However the server has more than 2 GB of RAM installed.
    - Microsoft Outlook Client not installed" Text="Microsoft Outlook Client is not installed in the ClientApps folder. You must run Windows SBS integrated setup.
    - The MSFW instance should use the latest available service pack for Microsoft SQL Server 2000. The MSFW instance should use the latest available service pack for Microsoft SQL Server 2000.
    I also ran the Ran netdiag.exe, dcdiag.exe commands
    and no failures were reported.
    The Event Viewer does not show any errors.
    Not sure to what extent these warnings would affect the migration. 
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    The SBS2003 needs to use one NIC only so you'll need to change that before starting. If it is the premium version and has ISA server installed, that will need to be removed first.  See:

  • IPhoto file too full to accept new photos

    the system is a mac book pro 2009 running 10.6.5 and iphoto '09. iPhoto has run into a file limit. there are about 35,000 items in the iPhoto file. the internal hd of the mac book pro is also full. -- 7 GB available.
    i photo file is on a 250 GB external (OWC) with a 240GB partition for iPhoto and 10GB partition for misc. a check of "get info" shows the iPhoto 240GB partition full.
    a complication, prior to getting a space available reading, 400 new photos (about 1.5 to 3 MB each) were downloaded and attempted to be placed in the already full iPhoto '09 file. now, when iPhoto is opened, the spinning busy ball is the only indicator - no other iPhoto actions are available. the machine was left on overnight, and iPhoto still shows the spinning busy ball.
    the 400 photos are sill saved on a SD card and could be trashed if necessary to get out of this fix. but i do not know how to do that.
    a new OWC 1TB external HD is ordered and on the way, but it is not clear how to proceed to save the existing iPhoto library and then transfer it to the new 1 TB hard drive.
    i did some looking online and found Pogue's iPhoto'09 missing manual, chapter 13, file management. but it does not seem to cover what i need to do here. i am aware that iPhoto is very fussy about how its files are addressed and one can easily destroy them by an untutored action. here is the link to pogue's instructions (scroll to p. 309)
    http://books.google.com/books?id=LG43X_8DtgC&pg=PA309&lpg=PA309&dq=iphotofile+too+full+to+accept+newphotos&source=bl&ots=0dRCENUcL6&sig=5E-8SE5WjV5r3D2w4MMwmNmc9vk&hl=en&ei=1p8aTe7 AIML38AajhIzXDQ&sa=X&oi=bookresult&ct=result&resnum=3&sqi=2&ved=0CCsQ6AEwAg#v=onepage&q&f=false
    so in summary- how can i accomplish the following:
    - stop the spinning ball associated with trying to load 4,000 new photos in the already full iPhoto file?
    - set up a new iphoto file on a generous partition of the new 1 TB ext hard drive?
    - move the iPhoto items from the old 250 Gb hard drive safely to the new 1 Tb?
    - establish the new 1TB hard drive as the only iphoto file for this system?
    i have probably left out something important as well.
    thanks for your help - j

    First off: the problem isn't that iPhoto is full. iPhoto is good for 250,000 images. The problem is the volume (or partition) that the Library is on is full. Attempting to add the extra photos means that iPhoto was unable to write to the database file, which has been damaged.
    So, you need to move the Library to a bigger disk. You can do this by drag and drop.
    Then Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Migrating from Windows Small Business Server

    So I finally made the jump to an intel based MAC a couple months ago and have loved every minute of it. I am now in a position to move our office to a completely MAC office but I had some questions first.
    Currently we are running Windows Small Business Server and have 3 desktops in the office. The server is basically for file sharing. However all of us work from home as well and use Remote Desktop to get into our computers at work and work remotely from home. The main reason we need to dial into the office is to get to our Quickbooks accounting file and create invoices remotely.
    My questions are:
    1. If I were to go with and Apple server and Apple desktops is there a way for me to dial in remotely and access my computers at work similar to Remote Desktop?
    2. Can both MACs and PCs dial in to the Apple Server?
    3. Is anyone out there using a better solution to access a company Quickbooks file on the server? Our current setup is that we have to remote connect to a computer in the office that is networked to the server. Is there some sort of VPN solution that apple offers so the remote computers can dial directly into the server?
    Your help is appreciated. I am really looking forward to making my office and all MAC office!
    Mac Book Pro 17"   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   Intel Dual Core

    OS X Server has a VPN server built-in, it's doing both PPTP and L2TP, it's compatible with both Mac and Windows clients IF you have the server connected to directly Internet using a public IP or use PPTP.
    There is no "dial-in" support that let's you use POTS (standard telephone) modems built-in.
    The Remote Desktop client in every OS X (Panther/Tiger) machine can accept remote control from a (free) VNC application (like Chicken Of the VNC - you connect through the VPN first).
    But the fastest remote control setup (most responsive screen updates) would be controlling a Windows XP pro machine by using Microsofts Remote Desktop Client sw (free -or is it? You can download it from http://www.microsoft.com/mac/) from either a Mac or another Windows XP client.

  • [PC / Mac] Modal vs. Non-modal ScriptUI windows issue

    Hi,
    in Photoshop ScriptUI 'dialog' Windows are supported (they're modal windows), while 'palette' Window's behavior is peculiar (they're non-modal, and as long as there's something going on in the script, they keep displaying - otherwise they automatically close). Apparently, this is different in InDesign (for instance), where palettes can stay idle - at least this is what I've been told.
    I've found a couple of workarounds to work with palette Windows (my goal is to show them in order to let the user interact with either PS and the script's GUI - just like you'd do with regular panels and extensions - that is: to work with them as non-modal, idle palettes that mimic extension behavior), namely:
    // usual Window stuff
    win.show()
    while (isDone === false) { // isDone is set true in win.onClose() etc.
      app.refresh();
    or
    var s2t = function(stringID) {
      return app.stringIDToTypeID(stringID);
    var waitForRedraw = function() {
      var d;
      d = new ActionDescriptor();
      d.putEnumerated(s2t('state'), s2t('state'), s2t('redrawComplete'));
      return executeAction(s2t('wait'), d, DialogModes.NO);
    // Window stuff
    while (isDone === false) { // isDone is set true in win.onClose() etc.
      waitForRedraw()
    The problem is as follows:
    1. They both work on Mac, either CS5 and CS6
    2. app.refresh() seems to work on PC + CS5, but not PC + CS6
    3. waitForRedraw() fails on both PC + CS5 and PC + CS6.
    Mind you: When I wrote that the workarounds fails in CS5 and/or CS6 on PC, I mean that the 'palette', idle windows are modal and not non-modal as it is on Mac (which is my main coding platform).
    [EDIT] Further testing has shown that PC palettes are... halfway between modal and non-modal. For instance, you can click on menus, but not select a Tool; you can collapse or drag a panel, but not access its content. You can't absolutely click on the image - for instance I'm desperately trying to enable panning on PC palettes: no way, you can't have the Hand tool to click&drag the image. For some reason, a "soft-scrolling" is enabled (on my MacBookPro, two fingers scrolling in all directions in the trackpad - but how to mimic this behavior in a desktop PC with no trackpad I don't know). Weirdly enough, the trackpad's "soft-scrolling" works in all directions on PC + CS5 64bits only, either CS5 @32bits, CS6 @32/64bits goes up and down only, no left/right allowed - frankly, to deal with platform-dependent issues is one thing, to take into account 32/64bits too is... ehm...
    So, to sum up there are big differences in the ScriptUI behavior depending on how platform and PS version are combined:
    PC, 'palette' Window:
    CS5 + waitForRedraw() = modal
    CS5 + app.refresh() =  non-modal
    CS6 + (app.refresh() OR waitForRedraw()) = modal
    Mac, 'palette' Window:
    (CS5 OR CS6) + (app.refresh() OR waitForRedraw()) = non-modal
    Is there any... "working workaround" to make on PC CS6 a 'palette' ScriptUI Window to keep a non-modal, idling behavior? (the unasked question is: why is that palettes are behaving as non-modal in CS5 and not in CS6?! )
    Thanks in advance!

  • Won't sell item at Store # 145 Heath Ohio. Said too busy to call Corporate

    On 12/13/14 around 7:30pm went to Best Buy Store # 145 Heath, Ohio. After looking to see what Amiibo's they had. I see they had one Diddy Kong on a hang tag(later confirmed it was actual Diddy Kong with SKU and price of 12.99 hang tag location). I went to check out and once the cashier scanned it for purchase a message on the register said can't be sold. She tried again and same thing. She called someone from gaming and he went to confirm where in store came from and then came back and said shouldn't be a problem. He tried scanning it himself and same thing. He went over to customer service and looked it up. He came back and said didn't see a reason can't be sold. He said will talk with the store manager and be right back. He came back and said the manager said can't be sold. He asked if still wanted it, I could talk with the manager myself. I said yes still want to purchase it. He went over the mic around his neck and said the customer wants to speak with the manager.
    Then a guy came to the front. He said was the manager (Jeramaha, sorry on spelling), he said as said before can't be sold. I asked why not, he first said was recalled and needs to be sent back. After asking why on shelf then, then said might not be entered in system correctly or something of that order and will need to be checked on with Corporate. He said for me to check back tomorrow. I told him over a hour drive away so just can't stop in to see why tomorrow. I said would you call Corporate now then. He said we are too busy to do that. I said what do you mean too busy. He repeated too busy but would put my name on it and hold it for me to pick it up tomorrow, so did that and he  attached my info to it. I said again hour away. He said it would be here for me then. I asked for his business card, he asked why. I said will need to contact Corporate then myself. He said why, can't sell something that can't be sold. I said, it's now not that. It's all the different reasons and not willing to check. He then said can get a store card on my way out at the desk at entrance
    I went to that desk(it's the security check desk). I asked a guy that was there for the card, he handed me a store card and asked why wanted it. I said the manager over there didn't have one. He said no I'm the manager and asked what's wrong. I told him trying to buy a item and they said can't sell it. He said let's go see why not. He went and got the item and then took me over to customer service. He went and looked on the computer and said can't be sold until 12/17 because it's not released yet. I asked why on shelf, said put out by mistake. I asked him why that guy told me to come back tomorrow to buy it, even knew over hour drive. He said don't know why he would do that, since can't be sold. I pointed to my info tag he put on it. He didn't say anything on that. I said that would be a wasted trip, he said good thing didn't do it. He proceeded to tell me can't be sold until then and didn't offer to hold it. I was dissappointed with that and then took my info tag back and left.
    Now wanted to add as too why posting on here:
    The first guy that represented himself as the manager had a Geek Squad shirt on and seem to just make up different reasons as to why not. That's why asked for him to check with Corporate.
    The response of too busy to call Corporate. To show how not busy that store was. There was two registers open and not once did they have me step away or take another customer. That's because all of that time with them checking on it, they didn't have any customers to ring out. The other lady at the next register wasn't even busy that she added that someone earlier came up with one and it wouldn't ring up. Even if too busy which wasn't the case, I feel should still do it for customer service.
    Then to tell the customer that recalled and will be sent back. Then a couple minutes later offer to take my info and hold it for me to pick up the next day. That makes no sense and made me feel, just making up as they go.
    Also to represent as the manager and wasn't, doesn't help. I don't even know if the other one was either, since he had a coat on.
    If something was put out by mistake that's fine. But to tell a cutomer will hold it and come back the next day to buy it and knowing they have over hour drive without knowing for sure could even be sold then. That's just wrong.
    Now as to the availability of this Diddy Kong Amiibo. Went to Gamestop right around the corner(right after leaving Best Buy 12/13) to check if they had it. They did, but sold the two that they had. The manager there named Ash said they are available to be sold and just hard to find, since so few sent to stores.

    Hello VanMan1987,
    Admittedly, the release dates and the coordination around Nintendo amiibo figures has been a bit of a challenge, to say the least. With release dates changing and there being so many different figures, it’s clear to me that some of our stores may have not been in a position to be able to speak confidently on what was going on with them, including putting figures out that aren’t yet able to be sold. What’s more clear to me is that your issue isn’t so much with the amiibo figures themselves, but how this whole situation was handled by the associates at the store. I sincerely apologize for the frustration you’ve endured here and I can’t thank you enough for sharing your experience in such great detail.
    We’ve received quite a bit of feedback in regards to the amiibo releases and we’ve been sharing this feedback with our gaming teams here at the Corporate Campus. However, I’m going to go one step further here and share your concerns directly with the leadership team at Store #145 in Heath, Ohio. If there was any misrepresentation going on, this is greatly frowned upon and there is absolutely no reason we should be misleading our customers and giving a false illusion of authority. While most of our associates should be able to assist with your issue, there are times a manager is needed and a manager is exactly what you should get when requesting one. I apologize further if you experienced otherwise.
    Lastly, I do apologize for the delay in response here. As you acknowledged, we’re a bit behind due to a higher Holiday volume and I regret that this gives the impression that we’re disregarding the situation. I absolutely assure you that’s not the case!
    If you still need any assistance here, please feel free to let me know.
    Sincerely,
    Brian|Senior Social Media Specialist | Best Buy® Corporate

  • OSX 10.9 compatibility with Windows Small Business Server 2011?

    Hi
    I'm hoping someone here may be able to help me as our external server guys have been particularly unhelpful!
    I'm the only Mac on a Windows server, which has recently been upgraded (??) to Windows Small Business Server 2011. I've recenty upgraded the work iMac to 10.9, but ever since the server change, I'm having intermittent dificulties saving files. Often, I get and error saying the file cannot be saved as I don't have permission to access the folder - which then worryingly REMOVES the file I'm trying to overwrite WITHOUT WARNING.
    If I'm using Photoshop save for web, I get errors when clicking 'Save' to say that it can't, but does save the file, plus a second with a gibberish file name.
    Most worryingly though, is that now on two occasions caused the iMac to crash and shutdown immediately, which is not good at all. Once was moving a file to overwrite another in the Finder, the second (today) was saving from Illustrator.
    I'd noticed weird things with our old 2003 server before the switch and when I was still on 10.6 - mainly that my iMac was slow when connected (Adobe apps etc opened in a flash when unconnected, but took minutes when plugged in), but now I'm on 10.9 and the new server installed, these saving issues have arisen. (I ended up wiping the Mac and completely reinstalling everything to cure that slowness issue - never did find out what it was!).
    The server guys are adamant that this has nothing to do with the server, and is all linked to my iMac - personally I'm not so sure, but I'm asking here to see if anyone else has had issues? It seems like some kind of permission problem? Do I need any special network settings for it to play nicely with the Windows server? My internet, email all goes through it, and I use it to store my work, but I'm not linked to any other server software in any way.
    If anyone may have any clues to help I'd be really grateful!
    Many thanks!
    Ben

    Thanks for the response - this is why I'm asking though- I can't see anything on the iMac which would be causing this, and saving files to a folder on a server is a pretty basic fuction, and I can't risk the crashes. I don't see how the iMac connection would be causing this, or for the files to 'vanish' but if it is the iMac settings I'll need to find a fix. Every one else is okay, but I'm the only one using this software and filetypes. Surely the Windows software would have some kind of instructions for connecting Macs?
    I was hoping someone may have experience and if any additional network settings might be needed. I will check with Apple support also to see if they have any info, but thought I may get a good response here.
    What I meant by the "server guys" is that's it's an external company we pay to look after it - so I'd hoped they might have at least looked into it for me, but it's a brick wall "We don't support Macs" response... which is why I think it's unhelpful - even though they supplied the software knowing it needs to have multiplatform support...
    It's really frustrating.
    And I hope nobody does insist I use Windows... please... I'd have to leave....
    EDIT - "We"?? - Do you work for them!?
