Long delays when switching from anything to xterm; Security Update 2008-001

I just updated my computer and rebooted. After it all came up again I opened Safari, selected a url and copied it, clicked on my x-term and it stayed behind my browser! After an excruciating delay of nearly a second, it came up on top. This makes me frequently mark large chunks of text in my xterms by mistake, which of course messes up my cut and paste buffer. I could not believe this so I actually used a stopwatch and it gives me 1.32s between clicking on the xterm until it appears on top.
I can switch just fine between Safari and iTunes, but Safari and xterm gives this behavior. Same with iTunes and xterm. This makes my computer practically useless and I have no idea how to fix it!

Good News!
No OS is perfect, you just get to choose the most important features for you.
PS. Sometimes things do "just work", but we can do little things to increase those odds on our own.

Long delay between switching from internal - external speakers MacBook Pro 13

Hey,
Ive got a MacBook Pro 13" (2011) on lion 10.7.4 and I have experienced recent problems with a switch from internal to expernal speakers and vice versa. For example, Im on itunes listening to a song or watching a video on youtube etc and then I plug in my speakers or my headphones, the sound stops. It varies from time to time, until the music continues then, ranging from 10s to hours!
When I try to adjust the volume following things have happened on different occasions:
the volume symbol in the top bar is grey
when I try to adjust the volume with the keyboard, it either wont let me (indicating full volume and the stop sign appear on the screen) or it indicates on the screen that the volume gets changed but you cant hear anything
in the latter case, sometimes when the sound works again, I can press those buttons but the volume is stuck and doesnt respond.
Does it have to do anything with the fact that I am pretty bad at closing tabs on my browser and programmes? I wouldnt have thought so though because it didint used to be like that with the sound and my habits havent changed.
Anyeay, I eould be very happy if someone could help me out with this issue. Many thanks in advance

Thanks for taking the trouble to answer. I agree that it seems like a hw problem either with a cable or internal mounting. To help anyone else who had this sort of problem ..... there is no need to worry. I picked up the phone and called Apple. A very polite and helpful tech guy ran me through a graphics ram reset (PRAM) to see if this would fix things and said to let them know if it didn't. The problem reoccured so the machine is going back. Apple immediately arranged for the machine - no debate, no hassle - to be picked up by courier and a new one shipped back to me. I'll have it in a couple of days. That is what you call service. I'm still going to take an additional precaution though. Despite having a good cover for the machine I'm going to add additional padding in the backpack I use on a weekly commute. Note though that I never had any problems with a series of Macbooks in the decade I've been commuting across Europe (on a weekly basis).

Kernel Panic when awaking from Sleep mode - since Security Update 2007-04

Since installing security update 2007-04, whenever I put the ibook into sleep mode, either using the menu or closing lid, when I reopen, I get the Kernal Panic black screen asking for a restart. I then reboot and everythings ok.
Any ideas?
Machine Model: iBook
CPU Type: PowerPC 750 (22.15)
Number Of CPUs: 1
CPU Speed: 500 MHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 256 KB

Rod Hagen suggests:
Disconnect everything, then
1) Boot up from OSX DVD or CD
2) Repair disk and repair permissions using disk utility
3) If now possible to boot from the internal download, run the "Combo" Update, and then install the SU.
4) if not possible then do an "archive and install" of the OS while booted from the OSX DVD/CD before checking the drive again and updating
5) If not possible to boot from CD/DVD do a PRAM and/or PMU reset.
( … if the person concerned has an up to date backup on a bootable drive, then they should simply check the internal drive properly with DU and then clone the backup back to the internal, check the internal drive again, and then install the SU update.)

Long Delay when switching Flash cast members

I have a movie that uses Flash cast members as sprites. The Flash members are static images and are optimized as best they can be, but they are using Background transpaerent ink and cannot be direct to stage so I know they use a lot rescources. These sprites are rotated randomly, and that is why I must use Flash members since bitmaps look terrible when they are rotated. The user can select to change the sprite's members to display different images. I do this by changing the memberNum property of each sprite.   When that happens on some systems there is a delay of up to 2 seconds while the new Flash cast members are substituted. All Flash members are internal and are set to Preload before Frame 1.
Can anyone think of what may be causing this delay?

Firstly, I'd suggest that rather than rotating the Flash sprite it may be simpler to rotate the contents of the Flash using Flash functions built into the SWF... I'm pretty sure it would be more efficient in terms of processing. If necessary you could wrap your SWF's content into a MoveClip within the main SWF, and then spin the MovieClip using Actionscript in the SWF (if you see what I mean).
As for the delay problem - have you tried using the sprite.member property rather than sprite.memberNum? For example:
on changeMember me, aMemberName
     sprite(me.spriteNum).member = aMemberName
end
I don't know if this would side-step the problem because I've never come across it before, but it's a thought. Bare in mind that memberNum can be ambiguous because it doesn't specify which cast the member is stored in.
Telling members to preload before frame 1 doesn't guarantee that they will be preloaded - you need to be sure that you've allocated enough preLoadRam. The following would allocate 1MB (1024 KB) of RAM for preloading
on startMovie
     the preLoadRAM = 1024
end
If your SWFs are large then you may need to up the preLoadRAM value (assuming you can be sure that your users' systems will have enough free RAM).
Finally, you can use the member.preload property to tell Director whether a SWF must load completely before it plays...:
member("myMember").preload = true
... or whether the SWF can be streamed from disk as it plays...:
member("myMember").preload = false
I hope some of this helps.

Long delay when logging in Network User

Hello,
We are running into a weird problem.
We have an XServe G5 2.0 GHz DP with 5 GB RAM, providing multiple services to a small school.
The Users have Network-based accounts, and are authenticated via OD on the same server.
Lately, Users have started experiencing a very long delay when logging in.
At the login prompt, if they input the wrong password, they get "the shake" right away, which indicates that the authentication speed is rather fast. If they do input the right credentials, nothing happens for 25 - 30 seconds, and then login proceeds as usual, fairly quickly. The machines are normally responsive from there on, i.e. it is not a network performance issue. Also, even if no one is on the server, the first one to log in runs into the same issue, i.e. it is not a server overload issue. Does anyone have an idea what is going on? Any suggestions for a solution will be appreciated.
Best regards,
Alain Chammas

Hi
This could be down to a time sync issue. Are Server and Clients all using the same Network Time Server? Do you see a similar delay when presenting the login window displaying a list of network users? If you did not know this is a computer list mananged preference. Anything unusual in the system.log?
Hope this helps, Tony

Long delay when sending non-btinternet mail

We are using Outlook Express/Windows mail client, and there is a long long delay when sending mail.
It just hangs saying "Connecting..." in the status bar. Receiving email has no problems.
Eventually it sometimes works or sometimes just times out.
The smtp server is not btinternet/yahoo but our own email server, which we have been using for 10 years. There is no problem pinging the smtp server. e.g. smtp.ourserver.net
It works without delays on other (non BT) home/business networks.
We have tried plugging other laptops into this home network and trying to send email (to the same mail server) - same problem.
It therefore seems to be peculiar to a BT Hub or BT as the ISP.
The problem seems to have first appeared when an upgrade was made to cater for future fibre optic services.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Today I started from my Firewire-device with 10.4.11 and had ichat running from there. I chatted with my friend, who is on 10.5.1 - no problems at all. (so my router is not causing the problem, as I thought)
Starting from 10.5.1 again I opened up Activity Monitor and found this message every 10 secs !
25.12.07 25.12. 15:18:29 com.apple.launchd[138] (at.obdev.LittleSnitchUIAgent[654]) Exited with exit code: 1

I remember that I installed Little snitch some time ago and removed it manually. Then today I run the official uninstaller for it. Still I cannot get rid of this activity. May be it has to do something with the text delay in ichat? How to delete all Little Snitch processes? How can someone find these data?
Thanks for Feedback

Long Delay When Print Commands Sent To HP Wireless Officejet

I have an HP Officejet Pro 8500 connected via a wireless connection to my home LAN. I have a late 2009 iMac (ethernet connection) running the latest release of Snow Leopard. Both the HP printer device and scanner device show up as installed in the Print & Fax settings of preferences with full functionality and they both work. The printer is normally idle (in sleep mode) until one sends a command. Any print command sent from any Mac OS X application to the device takes about 40 seconds to wake up the device if it is idle. Print commands sent from Windows XP applications running via a bootcamp partition wake up the printer instantly. Print commands sent from any other Windows OS based computer connected wirelessly on the LAN also wake the HP instantly.
I would appreciate any ideas as to why there is this delay when printing from Snow Leopard.

I installed from the HP CD that came with the Officejet. It says MAC OS X v104, v10.5, Version 9.8.0 (I assume this is the HP version) and then updated to the 2/11 Apple HP Driver update. So I appear to have followed your advice.
Note that Print & Fax preferences shows 2 devices for the Officejet. One is the printer and the other device is the fax. The printer has both printer and scan tabs. The fax does work as I just tried it. When I open the printer utility for the printer from within preferences, two devices are listed: The printer (green) and I can access the settings. The Fax identifed in its name as being at teh same ip address, but is is in red and the settings can not be accessed.
I opened the embedded web server to look at all the settings. I'm using DHCP.
Here is what I found under Networking:
Host name is correct.
Proxy setting are blank, which is correct.
Network Protocols are set to Both IPv4 and IPv6
Under Wireless: IPv4 Addressing is set to Automatic IP & Automatic DNS Server. IPv6 is empty. The Advanced settings are all under Infrastructure and correct. Ad Hoc settings are blank. Compatibility has the 2nd item checked that says in an Ad Hoc network use 811.b behavior.
Anything else that may be helpful

Help! mail dissappears when switching from junk training to automatic mode

I'm a new Mail user recently switched from 20 years of Eudora. I'm using Mail with a standard POP account. I've had no trouble setting up mailboxes and importing my old mail.
I've been using junk filtering in training mode for the past few weeks and want to switch to automatic mode. When I tried doing this, all of my inbox messages suddenly disappeared. I quit mail and rebuilt my inbox and found myself with thousands of duplicated messages. I'm using Andreas Amann's remove duplicates script to clean up my inbox (it's taking forever but working!)
My inbox has about 7000 messages currently. My practice with Eudora has always been to keep the current year in the inbox and archive at the beginning of the new year. I'd like to continue this with Mail.
A couple questions:
1) will rebuilding a mailbox cause duplicates? When should one use rebuild?
2) do I just need to be more patient and let mail do its thing when switching from training mode to automatic?
3) is 7000 messages considered too many for a single mailbox?
Any help much appreciated. Many thanks!

1) will rebuilding a mailbox cause duplicates?
No.
When should one use rebuild?
This question doesn’t have a simple answer in the case of Mail 2.x and POP accounts.
2) do I just need to be more patient and let mail do its thing
when switching from training mode to automatic?
I think so.
3) is 7000 messages considered too many for a single mailbox?
There is a limit on the overall size of individual mailboxes rather than on the number of messages stored in them -- see Overstuffed mailbox is unexpectedly empty.

Upgraded to 4 and have noticed that when switching from page to page you get an annoying blink before the next page displays. Any suggestions?

When switching from tab to tab, Firefox 4 has a tendency to blink before displaying the new tab. Just a millisecond or so but can be annoying.

If that doesn't work, try power cycling your router, printer, and your iPad/iPhone in that order. To do this, follow these steps:
Unplug the router and printer from the power and shut off the i-devices. Let them sit for about 30 seconds and then plug just the router in.
Once the router is completely back online (usually takes about 30-60 seconds) plug the printer in. Wait until it is back on its home screen.
Turn the i-devices on.
Try to print again.
Let me know if this helps!

Blackberry Hub slow when switching from any account to an Exchange Activesync account

I'm experiencing a very slow hub when switching from any account (facebook, LinkedIn, Whatsapp, Gmail, etc...) TO my work email using Exchange Activesync. When switching back from Exchange Activesync TO any other account the issue is noy there. It basically takes a couple of minutes to enter the Exchange Activesync acocunt, and looking at the Device Monitor, CPU section, seems like the Hub process is constantly at 50% CPU usage during this time. This is really causing me lots of issues, as of course I switch between accounts quite frequently. Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks for the support!

I'm having the same issue. What can be causing it.
It was fine using a Z30 until 10.3.1.1865 was recently updated.
Switching between all other accounts is fine just when going to my exchange account (or the main hub view)

HT4993 when switching from my htc evo to the iphone 4s they said all my photos and videos would transfer over time, but after 6 hours still nothing has transfered. Anybody have this issue or know what I can do so I won't lose all my pictures and videos

When switching from HTC evo to iphone 4s on sprint service the attendant said all my music, photos, and videos would transfer after some time. Does anyone know if this is true, or has anyone had this issue happen to them? It has been 8 hours since the switch and only my contacts transferred right away.

Well i wouldn't see why your photo's, videos and music would trasnfer. As that is a android device, there is no way to have them transfer over the air to the iphone.
Contacts probably came from google. Your videos and such you would have to move them to PC then to the iphone. Same with your music.

Outlook 2010 disconnects when switching from wired to wireless

A Windows 7 Pro 64bit laptop with Outlook 2010 keeps disconnecting from the exchange when switching from wired to wireless or vice versa. Then it wont reconnect. Restarting Outlook occasionaly works, not all the time.
Holding CTRL and clicking the Outlook symbol in the notifcation area they connection status and reconnect doesn't work either.
The only way it will reconnect apart from restarting the machine is to restart the Microsoft Exchange Information Store service on our Exchange server.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
