Long "lag" after taking a screenshot.

I press CommandShift3 to take a screenshot of the entire screen. By default, it goes to my desktop, as it should. The problem though.. Right after pressing the three keys, I hear the camera-shutter sound effect for the screenshot, but after that for about ten or so seconds, everything is completely locked up.
I can still move the cursor around, but trying to do anything with it results in nothing, sorta. After the "lag" ends, whatever I had done with the cursor during that time suddenly happens, such as moving windows around, or clicking on things.
I don't get a spinny wheel during that time either.
Any ideas as to what could be going on?
I'm running a clean install of Leopard that is two days old.

You need to have Quartz Debug restore the interface scale for you.
Open your Developer folder on your hard drive (install the Developer Tools if you haven't), go to Applications, Graphics Tools, and launch Quartz Debug.
Go to Tools > User Interface Resolution (or hit command-U) and set it to something other than 1.00, and then change it back. Quit Quartz Debug and the screenshot shortcut should work again.

E72 camera lagging after taking picture

I've had my E72 for a little over a month now, and I'm pretty satisfied with. I have recently come across an annoying problem though: When the phone has been turned on for some time (30-60 minutes) the camera starts to lag after taking a picture. The duration of this lag can be up to 40 seconds, and it is pretty annoying that I have to wait for that long between shots. If I turn the phone off and then on again the problem goes away for a short period and then returns. Has anyone else experienced this, and does anyone know what I can do about it?
Thanks,
Sune

I've had my phone for a while now, and just recently discovered that I have this issue too. After I take a photo it takes 20-40 seconds of processing before I can take another, or before I can close the application.
I updated to the v22 firmware, but I didn't take photos before that so I'm not sure if it was like this from the start.

HT201361 After taking the screenshot clicking on my trackpad just acting like right mouse click or 2 finger click. Could you help!

After taking a screenshot command + Shift + 4, clicking on my trackpad is like right mouse click or 2 finger click. Please help!

Maybe your trackpad battery is running low? If not I would suggest just restarting your Mac. Post again if those things don't fix your problem and some more involved problem-solving can be attempted.

HDR camera mode shows "Saving" for a long time after taking a picture

I noticed that after taking a photo in the HDR mode with the camera on 4.1 (4th Gen phone), the "Saving Photo" and spinning icon persist on the screen. The only way to stop it is to tape the top button on the phone, which shuts off the screen. When I go back the photo appears to be saved with no harm. Anyone else have this lag?
It makes taking another photo very slow.

You must have an older iPhone. My iPhone 4 takes about several seconds to save them, which was kinda annoying first. I'm not taking pictures in a rapid succession so I guess it is not that bad, taking into account a better quality of the HDR pics. I hope Apple fixes this delay in the future update of the iOS.
I was wondering though if we disable keeping of a non-HDR picture, would that speed it up? (Settings -> Photos -> Keep Normal Photo -> Off)
In your case, Fred, it would probably be better to shoot in a normal (non-HDR) format due to older hardware.

10 Second LAG after taking phone off LOCK.

Does this happen to anyone else? If my phone has been locked for more than 20 minutes, when I go to unlock it.... it seriously take about 10 -15 seconds for the phone to do ANYTHING!! What the hell is this issue?
I had this issue even when the phone was BRAND NEW, no software, pictures, videos, contact, nothing. WTF.. should
i return this and get another one?
I also get random LAG other times as well.. (not normal 1 - 3 second lag... im talking 10 - 15 seconds here at least)
Thanks for the help.

Memory cleaner is Disabled. As I said before, the phone is STOCK, out of the box.
I just remved the battery for the first time since i got it, and it hasnt done it since...
weird..

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.

I have an iphone 4s, after taking a picture I am un able to turn it

After taking a photo I am unable to turn

If the pictures are no longer on the device, this has nothing to do with the device or iTunes.
Use the photo management software on the computer to rotate them.

Journe air 1000 - video playback lags after converting to mjpeg

Hello,
i have bought 2 journe air 1000 photo frames, and i'm trying to play video on them.
To convert the video files i'm using the provided software that was in CD that came with the frame - ArcSoft video converter 2.5, which converts the video to a MJPEG avi file with quite poor sound quality.
And the main problem is that, video starts to lag after some time, there is no sync between sound and video, and eventually it crashes.
Also some video track just crash straight away..
I have 2 files, one is 30 mins long and the other is 10 min long, both experience the same symptoms, on both frames.
I have tried to use newer arcsoft converter software, different converters, tried splitting the files to smaller segments but to no avail...
It just like there's some buffer in the frames that fill's up and the video starts to lag.. anyone experienced that?
Maybe there's some other codec that this frame supports except mjepg? i have tried some (mpeg4, divx, xvid) but it didnt work, it doesn't even play mjpeg mov's, just avi's...
Any ideas how to fix it?
thanks.

yes i have tried loads of other formats: with mjpeg movs i get some flickering sound and black screen, and with all the others (h264, mp4 and so on) - "decode failed" and i haven't found anywhere in specs that it supports anything else except mjpeg avi..
maybe some specific setting need to be applied to other formats? has anyone else succeeded in playing other formats? what settings did you use?
thanks

[SOLVED] dbus error when taking a screenshot

I can't take screenshots with the Gnome3 screenshot program. When I try to save a screenshot, I get this error message:
Error while saving screenshot.
Impossible to save the screenshot to file:///home/some/directory.
Error was GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildExited: Process /usr/bin/nautilus exited with status 1.
Please choose another location and retry.
I found a thread with a similar problem (dbus error when taking a screenshot; the error message is different though) providing a solution, but I can't try that solution because I don't have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf file.
How can I fix this?

Damn, I found the solution (or better: source) of the problem... The error messages states that /usr/bin/nautilus exits with error something-something, and after thinking about that for some seconds it came to my mind that I replaced /usr/bin/nautilus with a softlink (ln -s) to /usr/bin/thunar because I didn't find a better way to totally replace Nautilus with Thunar...
Thanks for trying to help anyway!

Extra long lag with voice-over test questions

Hello,
I have recently been using voice over on my courses and the test for learners who may not be able to read. I have noticed when I use audio on a test question and choose the correct answer and click "submit" there is a long lag on the slide after clicking. It could be anywhere from 5-25 seconds of a lag between questions. I am at a loss on this and it only happens when I use audio.

Hi Ryan,
Maybe you are not aware of the fact that a question slide has a pausing point that is set by default at 1.5 secs. Look at the timeline: you'll see the pausing point as a vertical bar (not very visible on the blue timeline).
The two-step process for submitting is happening at that pausing point. After the second step (Press Y or...) the playhead will Continue if you keep the default actions for Success and After Last Attempt, which will mean that you'll have to wait till it reaches the end of the slide. Due to your VO the slide will have increased much in duration, original duration was 3 secs, which meant a waiting time of 1.5 secs after the pause. Now you'll have a much longer waiting time.
Two possible solutions:
Drag the pausing point more towards the end of the question slide (there is no other way than dragging)
Change the actions for Success and After Last Attempt to 'Go to Next Slide'. However sometimes this can cause an issue... depending on the deployment

Long lag for email addresses to pop up

This seems like it just started with my iPad mini but when sending mail it seems to be taking and uncomfortably long time for the list of possible recipients to show up in mail. To be more specific, when typing in an email address in the To: field there is a long lag between typing a name and the iPad doing a search of contacts to give a list of possible recipients. This lag is definitely much longer than on my iPhone 5 and feels longer than it was on my iPad 3. Anyone else notice this? I don't think it is a setting issue since my mini was set up with an iPad backup.

I don't think its a setting issue either since there is not setting to control it.
Have you tried quitting the mail app and reboot the iPad? That might reduce the lag.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the mail app icon. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

AFTER TAKING 60 PHOTOS ON MY T3I I SHUT IT OF AND PUT IT ASIDE. WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ONI GOT A ERRO

AFTER TAKING 60 PHOTOS ON MY T31,I SHUT IT OF AND PUT IT ASIDE.WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON I GOT AN ERROR MESSAGE THAT SAID IT COULD NOT READ THE CARD AND TO TRY TAKING THE CARD OUT AND PUTTING IT BACK IN .THAT DIDNT WORK AND DID NOT HAVE ANOTHER CARD YET SO I REFOMATTED IT CARD AND OF COURCE LOST ALL MY PHOTOS.I HAVE A 8 G CARD SO IT WASNT FULL.WHAT MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED?

LLATTARULO,
There was likely corrupted data or incomplete data on the card. There are a couple possible causes, but since it has been resolved, it is hard to speculate what caused it. It may have been that the card had not been formatted in a long time or the camera had not finished writing the data from earlier to the card.
This error does not always mean that the images on the card are lost. Formatting can fix this, but you may want to try downloading the images from the card directly using a card reader before you format the card if this happens again. This will ensure you do not lose your images again.
It is also good practice to regularly format the card after you have downloaded all of the images from it. This keeps the card fresh and the file system as free from corruption as possible, greatly reducing the chances of seeing this error again.
If this is a time sensitive-matter, additional support options are available at Contact Us.

IPad app no long works after upgrading to iOS 7.1.1

iPad app no long works after upgrading to iOS 7.1.1

Did you try deleting then reinstalling the app? Sometimes developers will need to update their apps for compatibility. If it still doesn't work after reinstalling, wait a few days to see if an app update becomes available.

Many Apps are no longer working after webOS 1.4 update! - please help!

Hi,
Many of my previously working Palm Pre Apps are no longer working after the webOS 1.4 update.
Here are the ones that just return a blank/white screen after launching so far:
SplashID
Daily Devo
Daily Light (Love)
Absolute Fitness (some options no longer work correctly & are returning a white screen and some options are working)
These are just a few of the Apps that I am having problems with and there are probably many others. I have also sent emails/posted to forums on the developer sites to advise. Hopefully I will hear something back soon.
Anyone else experiencing this issue as well with any Apps?
Thanks in advance for any help that you can provide.

SplashID on my Sprint Pre is showing just a blank screen after starting it and entering my password. I see no update for it in the App Catalog.
EDIT: Never mind. It appears that it only did that on the first launch. I closed it and restarted it, and now the screen in SplashID is correct.
