Lag time, etc: Citrix / Flash 9

DOH!! I have just completed my first Captivate 2-developed
Web-based training course for my new company. Looked great when I
tested it via a Web server and my local browser. However, it must
be launched by users via Citrix, and there are two problems. (Note
that the course is hosted by an outside LMS vendor, and accessed by
our users via our Citrix environment.)
1) Performance is super-slow, sometimes skipping slides when
it finally appears. Our IT guy tells me it's a Citrix/Flash issue.
He said it might be because our Citrix servers use Flash Player 9.
Of course, there is no way to publish for Flash 9 via Captivate 2.
Anybody have any insight or advice here?
2) Also, a less serious but also annoying issue: - text areas
appear incorrectly (blocky background stuff) when there is a
background color (as I have on all my title/section slides). Is
there any way around this?
Thanks in advance,
Keira

Double-DOH!
Oh, I hate when that happens... We figured out the issue
right after I hit the SEND button on my last post! Apparently we
had one server that was having trouble while I was testing last
week - and that was of course the server my stuff was running on.
(IT guy just found out himself.) So, that explains the lag problem.
Looks like the blocky text issue is something I may be able
to fix in future WBTs by using 16bit color and/or staying away from
colored backgrounds (Zzzzzz). If anyone has any add'l tips about
that, I'd appreciate them. Otherwise, sorry for taking your time
with our own stupid server problem!!

  • LONG lag time switching from other programs to Flash

    (Intec-Mac - OSX - 1.5 GB RAM)
    Has anyone heard of this before? Any time I switch from any
    other open program to a project in Flash, I get a super long wait
    time before I'm able to work with Flash again. The lag time
    only happens when switching to Flash (I get the spinning
    ball of death while the Flash menus load again -EVERY time!)
    This happens no matter if I have just Flash open and I'm
    switching from the finder back to it or if I have 15 programs open
    at once...
    It is super frustrating and slowing down my workflow between
    Flash and any other programs! I just uninstalled and reinstalled
    hoping it would help but got same result - Any help?

    Your best bet at this point in time is more RAM, since the
    Flash IDE on
    mac is only PPC at this time it runs emulated in Rosetta on
    Intel macs,
    and I've noticed swap times can be quite slow, this is not
    unique to
    Flash in my experience, it happens whenever I swap in a
    resource
    intensive app. Parallels is another prime example - and it is
    intel
    native.
    Adobe engineers appear to have a new found love of the Mac,
    so we can
    only hope the intel native version ships it will be super
    zippy.

  • Pages Slow - Long Lag Time

    I'm importing a Pages document that I created on my Mac Mini at work to edit on my iPad 2. I'm having a problem in that there is a terrible lag time as I edit -typing, deleting, adding text, etc. I can push 5-10 keystrokes before anything actually happens in the document.
    This is very frustrating. Can anyone provide any answers?
    Thanks!

    I now have iPad2 (A5 dual 512MB )  and iPod4 ( A4 solo 256 MB ), both loaded with iwork 1.5 and iOS5 . Let me report :
    I think Apple accidently have optimized iOS5 and apps  too agressively for the A5 processors of ipad2 and iphone4s. - ipad1, ipod4 and iphone4 run on the A4 chip.. and these are the devices that lag the most.
    My keyboard is set to german plus additionally 2 international keyboards, so I can switch input characters when typing.
    From what I see : on pad no typing issues so far - all can be left as it is.
    iPod had severe issues in typing. SO I started digging around ( I even restored iOS on it it, but no cure ).
    To make a long story short -- in iPod4 it helped succesfully to
    disable the auto-completion and auto correction features in the keyboard settings and do a reboot:
    where you can shorten often used phrases like: "otw" = "on the way" - I hope you know what I mean. Delete them all. Pages seems to lag on the iPod in such a way that it tries to foresee what I am going to type, "thinking" if it is a sentence or a phrase and if it needs correction..  The A4 cpu ( same as in iphone4 ) seems a bit overloaded with this. And to make things worse the tight memory of the iPod adds to the bad performace. The iPad2 has a faster processor and double the Ram ( this would match also the iphone4s hardware ) , and like I said the issues there are non-present for me on the pad.
    Additionally it helped to limit spotlight search radius, so that it not constantly monitors changes in the device ( apps,contacts and music only for me  - as these do not change that often and with a one time index it is done).
    iOS5 is buggy in very few features, but there heavily. The high cpu/memory usage, the fast battery draining are the worst. I positively see the 5.0.1 update coming soon to adress this. Reports from Developers and a vague anouncement from Apple to adress "battery life" soon indicate there is help on the horizon.

  • Firefox Lags Like Hell with Flash

    Ok, here's the deal.
    After long use Firefox starts to lag like crazy with Flash. And... It doesn't seem to be a problem with Flash. It's more likely that the browser itself what is causing the issue.
    After I use Firefox for some time Flash starts lagging badly. BUT! This happens only if I have my Firefox window active. If I open the Task Manager on top of Firefox window, Flash stops lagging as if Harry Porter himself cast a spell with his magic stick making everything work like a charm.
    I made a small video showcasing the bug: https://www.dropbox.com/s/l2c5pbn1xwy58dc/12-11-2012%2019-07-15.avi
    - The bug still appears even in Safe Mode (all addons disabled).
    - With hardware acceleration disabled in Flash bug still remains.
    - With Chrome and other browsers everything works fine.
    - The bug will go away after restart - and then will start to appear after Firefox is in use for some time.
    - Normally it re-appears after I close my laptop's lid forcing it to go to sleep mode. After it wakes up - the bug is there.
    - There was no such a bug in the past - it started to appear as new Firefox versions were released - don't know the exact version but I assume it all started from version 14 or 15.
    Any thoughts?

    Did you try to disable protected mode in the Flash plugin?
    Also make sure that you allow the plugin-container process in the firewall.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Plugin-container_and_out-of-process_plugins
    You can check for problems caused by recent Flash updates and try these:
    *disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
    *disable protected mode in Flash 11.3 and later
    *disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin
    *downgrade the Flash player to version 10.3 or 11.2

  • Syncing video output to the specified lag time (ms) of your monitor

    Hey guys and lassies, I've got a question that I've been thinking about a lot, and I've looked around the web without finding a good answer, so hoping to get edumacated in the subject here!
    I do a lot of video work in Premiere Pro CS6 where I want to be absolutely sure that I have perfect (or as near perfect as possible) synchronisation between video and audio. I'm building a new editing rig now and I'm wondering about monitors. What has me pondering at the moment is the different lag times the various screens have. Some of the TN screens are really fast, and some of the various kinds of IPS-screens are a lot slower. Maybe I'll use a TN for working and an IPS on the side for previewing and getting colors right. Is there a way to make sure that whatever lag time your screen has, be it 4ms or 40ms that you know that what you're seeing and hearing is actually IN SYNC for real, and not just because it synchs with your monitor? Can this be specified in the output settings anywhere?
    I know that we're only talking about a frame or so here or there, but it's still something I'm really curious about and think would be interesting to find out. I've got a bad case of perfectionists syndrome. Thoughts on the subject?

    i dont know of any programs or devices that can tell the report the delay from an external monitor. i guess if you really wanted to find out you could video record some test footage onto a camcorder, then bring that into premiere and look at the sync sounds on the timeline vs the video frame to see how far out it is. you would need high fps to really get accurate though and still may not be a good way to figure this out...
    most people cannot tell delay over 100ms. so if your monitors are 4ms or 40ms and that is the limit of total delay vs audio it should not be noticeable. if it is noticeable and the footage is in sync on the timeline (frame vs waveform), you can try to compensate with an audio vst delay plugin (described below). just load up some sort of syncpop test footage in premiere and eyeball it to adjust the delay, to get an acceptable sync in playback on your monitors.
    you can add a delay vst to the master channel, set it to zero dry, 100% wet and set the delay by milliseconds to get the desired result. the analog delay that is built into premiere might work, just have to double click on its name after adding to get to the controls. i haven't tested this, but this should be easy enough for premiere to handle the delay vst. if you need to add delay to the video this route may not work. i think there are some audio delay vst that get into negative delay but requires the host application to accept it. 

  • We love apple email, but it does not play wall with other venders when you want to use your own domain (lags, disconnections, etc.)?   What vendor should we use to make it push and work well?  We want to stay with Apple Mail.

    Help, our AppleMail does not play well with other Vendord to use our own domain.   iCloud mail works great, but so far others we have tried lag, disconnec, etc. not nearly as good as icloud mail.   Should we try exchange or office 365 plans with Apple Mail/  a lot more expensive?

    Microsoft Exchange is the best business solution, Office 365 will give a hosted version that works well, as you noted it is not the cheapest. You should also look at Zimbra, an excellent service.

  • Can I use Time Remapping in Flash?

    Hello Guys,
    I just start working on Flash and I can't find how to use kind of Time Remapping in Flash.
    I always work with AE but this project I have to work with Flash...
    Is it possible ?
    Thanks!

    You can to an extent.  It's not as good as AE where it will interpolate frames.  Here's what you can do...
    Put your artwork inside of a symbol.  This is the equivalent of a composition in AE.
    Place your symbol in the stage.
    Click it once and its properties will appear in the Properties pane.
    Look under the "Looping" section of the Properties window.
    You can change the options to "Loop", "Play Once", or "Single Frame".
    The "First" number corresponds to the frame number inside your symbol.
    You can change these settings for every key frame you set.
    The biggest difference between Flash and AE is that tweening a time-remapped symbol won't interpolate frames.  Instead it will mess up your time-remapping.  The best practice is to put your time-remapped symbol inside another symbol, and tween and puppet the new symbol instead.
    An example...
    You can create a mouth shapes for lip sync and put them in a symbol.  Then set the symbol to "Single Frame" and set keyframes in your timeline to call up each mouth shape to match your audio.  Then to move your mouth symbol around on your character's face, you can put the mouth symbol into a new symbol, and just puppet the new symbol.

  • I need to make a copy of an entire email, including the header w/the sender's info and time, etc. to insert into a letter, etc. How can I do this w/out cutting and paste and doing the header separately from the text.

    I need to make a copy of an entire email, including the header w/the sender's info and time, etc. to insert into a letter, etc. How can I do this w/out cutting and pasting   the header separately from the text. I know there is a way besides a screen shot but I've spend hours trying to find it.

    Smurfslayer wrote:
    For the particularly persnickety types you might want to expose the full headers in the email message as well.  It's easy enough to do, from mail's 'menu' select "view"; then "message"; then all headers.
    Another option you could use is a screen capture using Grab.
    Activate Grab, then shift + command + w (for a window screen shot).  Then confirm the window selection and click the mail message.

    Why are you addressing this to me...?

  • Apple TV changed battery screen shows setting  time etc now it will not start

    I had to change battery in remote (2nd gen apple TV) now it starts setting time etc screen is blank. I swithced it off waited 30 secs, no luck!!!!
    I cannot go to menu as it does not allow me. Has anyone got any suggestions??

    Here's what finally worked for me with Apple TV 3rd generation. Out of the box, when setup with wi-fi, it breezed through without any issue. As soon as I powered down and connected it to another tv (same wi-fi network), it got stuck at setting date/time. The remote would help in getting out of it, but the home would only have "Computers" and "Settings" and pretty much useless except for AirPlay. Here's what I did to resolve this:
    1. On your main router, temporarily disable the firewall or set it to the lowest setting allowable (a reboot of the router maybe required).
    2. Restart apple tv via the "restart" option in the "General" option in the main settings menu.
    3. It should breeze through and not show the "Setting date/time" screen.
    4. Once it loads up properly, turn on your fire wall as before  (a reboot of the router maybe required).
    I think it worked for me out of the box, but auto-update to the latest software introduced this bug. So, everytime apple tv tries to synch with the time server, this issue will come back. To disable this, I turned off the "auto time synch" option in Settings -> General.
    I am fairly confident that I'd be able to use steps 1 through 4 anytime this recurs. Possible scenarios causing recurrence of this issue:
    1. Unplugging the power to apple tv or power failures.
    2. OS updates.
    3. Restoring apple tv using "Restore" or via micro-usb and iTunes to the lastest OS.
    Hope this helps. Please post if this works for you.

  • IPod HD Lag times, this is crazy

    I've recently upgraded from a 4GB Silver iPod mini, a HD based iPod and I've never had a problem with the lag times between choosing songs or skipping back/forward through songs.
    But over the past 2 weeks of owning my iPod 5G 30GB I've become more and more unhappy with the apparent lag times when just trying to listen to a tune, plus I think I've found a bug in the 5G iPod (which I will list in a seperate topic).
    When I select: Artist > Destiny's Child > #1's. The song will start playing, but the lag time between clicking the first track and it playing is around 3-5 seconds, you can hear the HD spin up, and it appears to lag on the Artwork a bit.
    But then I clicked Skip 5 times, and counted the time until the iPod would play the track. 10 seconds! No word of a lie, you could hear the little HD click and whirr inside the iPod. It took ages to skip, and another age to bring up the Artwork.
    I am hoping that someone can tell me if this is "normal" behaviour for the 5G or if there is a HDD problem here? (Could 30GB 5G owners please try the afore mentioned tested and get back with some times?)
    iMac G4 Flat Planel   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    Perhaps your problem is Fat32.
    Mine is formated HFS+, since I use Macs, I don't
    notice lag anywhere near what you guys state.
    Just a thought.
    During my time mucking around with this I have noted that the Mac format is much faster! I also find that it takes about 30 seconds for the iMac to recognise the iPod when it's connected to the USB 1.1 port and using FAT32, whereas using HFS+ the connect time is about 5-10 seconds. It appears that OS X likes to see it's native drives a lot faster than FAT32.
    I think my times are generally accurate, my tag carrera wristwatch generally keeps time ok.
    The reason why I find these times so long is I had a 4GB iPod mini. Whilst the HDD is smaller, it was a lot faster with it's seek times. My little mini is just as fast to skip tracks as a workmates 4GB nano! So coming from a little HDD to a large HDD I don't really expect the lag times. But it appears to be a way of life with the 5G and I can put up with that 'cause I can watch Lost on that little thing.

  • Why am I experiencing long lag times after installing Mavericks?

    I just upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mavericks on my Mac Mini;  Why am I experiencing long lag times?

    Not enough free disk space can cause the lag times...
    Click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage. Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.
    Do you have anti virus software, MacKeeper, and CleanMyMac installed?
    Checked the disk lately?
    Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utillities
    Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
    Click:  Verify Disk  (not Verify Disk Permissions)
    If DU reports errors, restart your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys. From there you should be able to access the built in utilities in OS X Recovery to repair the startup disk.
    Make sure to back up all important files first before using OS X Recovery.

  • Incredibly Long Lag Time When Working With Effects in Premiere Pro CC 2014

    I am having incredibly long lag times when working with effects in Premier Pro CC 2014.  Like 60 seconds or more.  This also happens periodically when I am doing something as simple as cutting into a timeline (just ripple deleting from and in to an out point). 
    I have a MacBook Pro running OSX 10.9.4 2 GHz Intel Core i7 with 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3. 
    I have seen that some people are having different versions of the same problem.  I do have RedGiant plug-ins, but I am not using any of them in this project.  The Red Giant plugs (again, not being used in the project) include MOJO and Universe.  The previous version most certainly did not work like this.  Any ideas?  I did try moving the Red Giant plugs out of the COMMON folder and "alt" starting up to reset preferences.  Still having same problems.
    A specific example is I have an interview shot.  I add brightness and contrast.  Just making a change to the effect (increasing brightness) causes freezing of the interface and long delays.  I added a piece of transparent video on a top layer to add a CIRCLE to create a vignette effect.  Same deal -- ridiculously long times for effect changes to take place.
    Does anyone have any clues as to how to fix these problems? 
    THANKS FOR ANYONE'S HELP!!!!!!!

    Got the same Error. Previous I worked with a GTX 760, and was hoping to get it fixed with using a GTX 780 6GB. But just as you, didn't solve the Problem.
    Usually I got the Problem solved, with exiting Premiere, restarting it, reset my Workspace. Then the Problem of having the bugged Workspace was gone. And also the Problem of the missing Video Tracks.
    At the moment I started on a new Project. Pretty simple, with only a 21 second DV footage. And here I was switching tabs with my Browser, came back to the Project, and the Video Tracks were gone. I saved, closed Premiere, restated and the Video Tracks are still  missing.
    So I made a new Sequence, voilá the Video Tracks are there. Thus I need to copy and paste the Tracks onto the new Sequence.
    But that is not really a solution!
    I was on the Phone with Adobe, and on Chat, but they couldn't help me. They suggested to get a Tesla or Quadro Card, or at least a GPU that got confirmed as working on their page. I did that, but obviously, that is not the issue.

  • Lag time in texting

    I have the iphone 5 I have updated my ios 6.0.1 I noticed that there is a lag time when I am texting or writing e-mail. I have tried turning the phone off and back on but it did not help.  The delay is still there ...I am not a fast texter but there is a one to two second delay between letters.. also my iphone is a 32 gb and I have only used half of the storage memory.. so it is not the memory space that is the issue.. is anyone else having this issue, what can I do to fix it. Do I have a malfunction phone?

    Close all apps from MultiTasking and make a Reset.(Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.)

    How can I delete these 2 files so that I can reinstal Itunes?

    You can uninstall the relevant extensions from Tools>Addons to remove those toolbars. Also there may be some unwanted plugins which you may want to disable. This should solve your problems.
    If you still want a clean profile, uninstall firefox with the "Remove my Firefox personal data and customizations" checkbox enabled. Alternatively you may remove your firefox profile folder which (on Window7) is stored in C:\Users\<your-username>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles folder with a randomly name. You may delete this folder before installing a new version to get a clean profile.
