LR6 freezes after performance option checked

I recently upgraded to LR6 and now am having problems with develop mode. I checked the box for video card performance, and my card shows up. It is nVidia 745M with 2GB RAM. My laptop has a 2.4Ghz Intel i7 dual core processor. When I am in library mode things work fine, and the video is much faster. However when I click an imge and try to go to the develop the image area goes grey and freezes. The only way out is to cancel LR and not get any editing done. If I restart it and uncheck that box in the performance settings I can work OK. Is there a fix for this?

Original install of LR CC had the box checked, but the device was disabled. Not sure why, but it was getting a Windows Error 43, which is a catch-all. I did some snooping around and installed an updated BIOS, and the latest video driver, and the device was recognized. Then the box was unchecked by LR. So with the older versions of BIOS & driver it was checked but disabled; with the newest its is unchecked and recognizes the video card. I can use LR without it checked, but I think it needs more work by Adobe. Seems a little counter-intuitive; and why recognize a 2 GB graphics card if it won't work right? Thanks for your help.

ME51N - have to give custome message after performing an Check

Hi experts
         My scenario is
while creating the PR (ME51n) , it asks for the Following fields
item number
Account assignment catogory (Need to give Q there)
plant
Material number
and after that we should give QUANTITY.
then it asks for the WBS-ELEMENT
This WBS element will be created by the PS Functionals and there they will enter a Quanity( Toal Consumption Value).
Say for the Project
PPX-1000 it has
      PPX-1000-01
      PPX-1000-02 two WBS elements and the second WBS elements will Have a quantity of 5000 tones as the total consumption.
And ow if i give 60000 tones in the PR(ME51N) , system is not controlling the Quanityt. It saves with the PR number.
I need to do the check here. If it exceeds the quantiy in the cj40 , system shuold not allow us to create the PR showing the Error message.
This what the requirement is
Kindly help me with codes if possible.

MacBook Pro 10.6.8 still freezing after performing clean install of os.

Took to local Apple Store and they performed clean install of operating system. Worked for approximately 10 minutes and back to freezing again. Can still move cursor but everything else is unresponsive. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks.

Sounds like a hardware problem. Try replacing the RAM modules with new ones. Replace the HDD with a new one.

My keyboard freezes after using the option key... what gives?

I have a 17" MacBookPro with OSX 10.6.8
The problem: My keyboard key freeze after using the " option key" in Photoshop or when downloading a file using the option key.
I can usually use it 2 or 3 times before it makes a chirping cricket like sound… then my keys freeze up.? The only way to correct it is to restart.
Anyone else have or had this issue? it's frustrating. What's the deal?

Can I just bring my laptop to the nearest service center and get this problem solved directly? You know, usually it will takes several days to receive the backup keyborad, I can't wait
You'll have to phone the service center and ask. (When I lived not far from Lenovo's Canadian service center and wanted to bring in a ThinkPad for warranty repair they said that would be OK with them but my unit would be put on a queue the same as if I'd shipped it in. They simply didn't offer walk-in, while you wait service.)
In the interim it may or may not be possible to reattach the key, even just temporarily, depending on whether it wasn't put on properly at the factory or if it's physically broken in some way. Or you could use an external keyboard until Lenovo sends you a replacement, etc.
I've just call the local service center, he told me that he can not repair individual key, they can just replace the whole keyboard..... How bad luck I am!!!

G31M Freezing After RAM Check, Says 1596fsb which might be problem..

Hello....
Putting together a Dual core duo with a MSI G31M mobo. It keeps resetting itself.. wont even show post.. all i here is one tiny, quick (not loud) beeping. and if it hit DEL or TAB... it will show the corresponding screen, but just frozen.
The insert button thing isnt working either (yes i did total power removal).
It says on the top of the POST screen "Speed: 1596 mhz" which might be the problem...
It freezes after "Init USB controllers: OK | 1015mb..." then it stops..
Thanks everybody...

Hi,
your BIOS Version is too old to properly support your E7400. That is why the CPU Frequency only shows as "1596 mhz" and that is also why the system does this:

It freezes after "Init USB controllers: OK | 1015mb..." then it stops..
There are three possible solutions to solve the situation:
1) Install a processor supported by BIOS Version 7.1 to be able to properly turn on your system and then update the BIOS to the latest Version to be able to use your E7400 (update should be done from DOS only).
2) Ask in a local computer shop or contact your reseller to do the same thing for you.
3) Connect an internal floppy drive and a PS/2 Keyboard and then try to force the system into AMI BIOS Recovery Mode. Instructions:
Quote
Rename the desired AMI BIOS file to AMIBOOT.ROM and save it on a floppy disk. e.g. Rename A569MS23.ROM to AMIBOOT.ROM
Insert this floppy disk in the floppy drive. Turn On the system and press and hold Ctrl-Home to force update. It will read the AMIBOOT.ROM file and recover the BIOS from the A drive.
When 4 beeps are heard you may remove the floppy disk and restart the computer.
Even though the AMI BIOS Recovery Procedure is the only chance you have to solve the situation without installing a different processor, it does not work in all cases. However, as it is an easy procedure, it is at least worth a try.

Firefox 4 freezes after i open it (keeps loading the page non-stop and i cant click or do anything

firefox 4 freezes after i open it (keeps loading the page non-stop and i cant click or do anything, plus there is no option to report an error so i cant even get this checked and this seems to be the case on 3 different computers i use all have windows 7 32bit.

Hello,
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
Please report back to see if this helped you!
Thank you.

Problem after Performing Leaving action related to OM

Scenario:
Hi this is the first time i am working in a an SAP HR environment where all most all components like OM,PA,Payroll,Time,PD etc is implemented in 4.6 Version.
I had seen in the production server that after performing the Leaving action of the employee his/her Postion will change to 999999(Default postion) when we view InfoType 0001 0r 0000.
But in case of 1 employee it did not change to 999999 after leaving action was performed.It still shows the Position what he held when he was Active.
Qn 1.In the above case which is right?
Qn.2 what should ideally happen in Standard SAP system in such case.
Q3. Can we change that postion to 99999 (default) of an employee whose status in Withdrawn?
Qn.4. Anyoption other than rehiring and terminating him to sove this?(is this option itself is right practise?)
TIP: I dont know if the end user properly followed the steps in doing the Leaving Action

Hi Abhilash,
If you are getting the default position then the Integration plogi - preli is set to 99999999. and you should get it for all the termination action. Check with the user if she had run the leaver action as per your infogroup (in case her user profile is not set up)
Ideally thats the way it is set up as we dont need a position for a Terminated employee, and that position can be filled up by someone else.
You can change it to 99999999 if all other positions are default as per your termination action.

Uday

Retaining the old schedule lines after the ATP check in the sales order....

Hi Experts,
I would like to retain the old schedule lines after the ATP/GATP check in the sales order for certain conditions.
I don't want to change XVBEP,IVBEP,VBEP contents in the user-exit..
Is there any standard sub-routine or function module to reatain old schedule lines in the sales order so that the schedule lines will not update with the new values after the ATP check ?
Thanks
Rayudu

In Include LV03VFMM, you have:
* Userexit availability
PERFORM USEREXIT_AVAILABILITY_IN USING DA_ATPPR.
There may be an option to implement some logic in here. However, I tried changing the value of MVERF_POS-EINTEIL[1]-VFPKZ to initial. This will ensure that when FM AVAILABILITY_CHECK_CONTROLLER is called that the following IF statement is untrue:
CHECK NOT P_ATPCSX[] IS INITIAL.
as P_ATPCSX[] Table[0x648].....
However, this will just mean that the 2nd confirmed schedule line (assuming we have > 1 schedule lines) will have a confirmed quantity to zero.
EXIT_SAPLATPC_001 could also be used. However, when I removed the "X" from CHKFLG, I get the same result; the 2nd schedule line will revert to zero.
They were the only tests I tried; I cannot think of any other ways around this....

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off merely by the seeming complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can read it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

Issue on Cisco Unity Connection after performing 'utils ntp restart'

Hello everybody.
There's a client with Cisco Unity Connection 8.5.1.10000-206. After doing a 'utils ntp restart', the following message showed up:
Communication is not functioning correctly between the servers in the Cisco Unity Connection cluster. To review server status for the cluster, go to the Tools > Cluster Management page of Cisco Unity Connection Serviceability.
The client states that there was no service for 5 minutes and wants to know if performing this task shoud be disruptive or not and if there is any official document from Cisco stating this.
See SrvConnUnity_1.jpg sent by the client after performing the ntp restart.
Right now the service is normal (see SrvConnUnity_2.jpg attached). The client also sent a 'utils ntp
status':
admin:utils ntp status
ntpd (pid 10899) is running...
 remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter

Could anybody help me with this? What steps should I take? Many thanks in advance.

Hello Patricio,
On the command line guide you won't see any downtime requirements for the Unity Connection server:
Command Line Interface Reference Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Solutions Release 8.5(1)
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/cli_ref/8_5_1/cli_ref_851.html
Utils ntp restart
This command restarts the NTP service.
Command syntax
utils ntp restart
Parameters
None
Requirements
Command privilege level: 0
Allowed during upgrade: Yes
Also on the caveats i do not see any particular mention for this: (Caveats could be found applicable to CUC)
Release Notes for Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 8.5(1)
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/rel_notes/8_5_1/cucm-rel_notes-851.html
Breaking up the output of the "utils ntp status" there are are two considerations:
admin:utils ntp status
ntpd (pid 10899) is running...
 remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter
==============================================================================
*127.127.1.0 LOCAL(0) 10 l 16 64 377 0.000 0.000 0.002
First, you are using the ip address 127.127.1.0 which is the referenced used for the local system clock, the asterisc means is the preferred option as there is no other IP available. This is not a good practice and not recommended.
Secondly the stratum is unreliable, meaning too high to reach or too low to be accepted by Unity Connection.
If you would happen to run 'utils diagnose test' you would have probably seen an output as the following example below:
admin:utils diagnose test
Log file: platform/log/diag1.log
Starting diagnostic test(s)
===========================
test - disk_space : Passed (available: 25680 MB, used: 7849 MB)
skip - disk_files : This module must be run directly and off hours
test - service_manager : Passed
test - tomcat : Passed
test - tomcat_deadlocks : Passed
test - tomcat_keystore : Passed

test - system_info : Passed (Collected system information in diagnostic log)
test - ntp_reachability : Passed
test - ntp_clock_drift : Passed
test - ntp_stratum : Failed
The reference NTP server is a stratum 11 clock.
NTP servers with stratum 5 or worse clocks are deemed unreliable.
Please consider using an NTP server with better stratum level.
Please use OS Admin GUI to add/delete NTP servers.
skip - sdl_fragmentation : This module must be run directly and off hours
skip - sdi_fragmentation : This module must be run directly and off hours
test - ipv6_networking : Passed
And on the RTMT (Real Time Monitoring Tool) you would have seen a Critical event:
Condition:
The best external NTP server, , is stratum , which is unacceptably high. External NTP servers must be <= strata 8 and should be <= strata 5. NTP server strata can be verified using the CLI 'utils ntp status' command ('st' column). Try using different NTP servers.
Problem cause:
All specified external NTP server(s) have unacceptably high stratum values. Network issues exist or the designated servers have unreliable stratum values.
Information is self explanatory and therefore reassures the need of having a NTP different from the server itself.
By the snippet you sent we can know that it is the publisher server, as the Subscriber polls this information from the Publisher.
Installing the Operating System and Cisco Unity Connection 8.x
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/8x/installation/guide/8xcucig020.html
"Cisco recommends that you use an external NTP server to ensure accurate system time on the publisher server. Ensure the external NTP server is stratum 9 or higher (meaning stratums 1-9). The subscriber server will get its time from the publisher server"
Documentation also reaffirms the need for that NTP to be accessible otherwise your system can be degraded. Some addtional information which would be interesting to know is:
- Why did they had to restart the NTP in the first place?
System Requirements for Cisco Unity Connection Release 8.x
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/8x/requirements/8xcucsysreqs.html
"A network time protocol (NTP) server must be accessible to the Connection server"
On the Cisco Unity Connection Serviceability> Tools> CLuster Management screen shot you sent i see that the ports were "Not Available" and that the customer stated "there was no service for 5 minutes".
By no service did they mean that over the phone they heard a disconnected tone or a failsafe message?
Additionaly after the servers resolved from SBR the Subscriber never recovered entirely as it did not start the Conversation Manager service.
Bottom line if they are able to reproduce it then it would be worth a while checking with TAC

Photo booth freezing after taking photos or videos...

so almost every time i use my iSight and photobooth to take a photo or record a video my mac freezes and i cant force quit or even click on anything. i end up having to manually shut down my mac and then reboot it. it still saves the photos/videos most of the time but its very obnoxious that it freezes after each time i try to take a photo, especially since i just got this MacBookPro a week ago.
has anyone experienced similar problems and know any solutions?

Welcome to Apple Discussions, UnadmirableActs
so such problems can be caused by software issues you can fix.
Mac OS X is a robust operating system, but it does require some simple occasional maintenance for best performance. It sounds to me like your Mac may need some maintenance now.
First, you should Safe Boot your Mac. Safe Boot forces an automated OS X disk check and repair routine. If your disk needs significant work, Safe Boot may take several minutes to finish. Do NOT try to use your Mac while in Safe Mode. When your desktop appears in Safe Mode, immediately restart your Mac normally. Use the Safe Boot procedure the first time you start your OS X Mac after any hard shutdown (whenever you "manually shut down my mac".)
When your Mac restarts normally after a Safe Boot, you should repair your startup disk's permissions. Depending upon how much repair is needed, permissions repair may take many minutes or even a few hours the first time you do it. Subsequent runs should take only a few minutes.
For normal maintenance (other than after a hard shutdown,) you can also use Disk Utility rather than a Safe Boot to verify your startup disk.
As soon you have performed your OS X maintenance, try the suggestions in Apple's How to Troubleshoot iSight to test your iSight's function. If you encounter problems after having performed OS X maintenance, try the reset process suggested in the Troubleshooting suggestions. The reset usually restores proper function of the built-in iSight.

Lightroom 2.7 freezes after 7 exports

Hi folks,
I know, everyone is into LR3 - but as I am working with XP for various reasons, I have opted for the 2.7 version for the time being.
I have looked for a solution on the forum and the internet but did not find any up to now.
So, here it goes:
This is my computer
I have a HD of 500 GB that is still rather empty as I work with external harddisks that still have loads of space too.
With Photoshop CS2 I can work up to 10 - 12 hrs before I get hints that maybe I'd better reboot to empty the memory.
LR is a wonderful tool and I am happy with it.But...
The first bug of not wanting to save jpg has been solved with JF Metadata Wragler till I can upgrade my CS2.
But it has another one. I can export up to 7 photos I have been working on and then LR freezes when I want to export again. Closing down LR helps a few times but then it won't even be closed down any more - or if it does, it won't start up again and I have to reboot. At that moment all else, Photoshop included, still keeps on working happily...
I wondered if the Wrangler was doing it, disabled and removed it, downloaded a new version > no change. I worked a while with an eye on the Task Manager's performance tab but nothing out of the ordinary as far as I can see. It does peak for a fraction of a second during export but then goes nicely down to normal values. It makes no difference if there are many catalogues or only a few in LR. I am using a setting in the Wrangler that after saving the photo sends it to Photoshop which does save me time - but I tried without it and that makes no difference either. It is always 7 exports and then no more...
Any idea what is causing this and what else I can do?
If it weren't so lovely to work with LR, I'd just throw it out... but I don't really want to miss it any more :-)
Thanks and grts
Nil

Well that wasn't the solution either - I removed LR completely (the second
time), also the things it leaves behind in the Win Explorer after the
uninstall, checked in the registry, rebooted and reinstalled selecting the
setup32.exe file manually. Now I get 1 picture further. Instead of the 7th
photo each time, it is the 8th that freezes the export and LR... This is
getting kind of spooky... I'm still trying to see the fun side of it but
well...
Any more ideas?

Hi Dorin,
>
I do hope you can answer a short question for me.
>
When you install LR and it automatically uses setup64.exe, does that mean
it is thinking that you are running a 64 bits version of Windows? Because
then I may have found the answer to my problem - I hope. This counting to 6
business is getting rather irritating at the rate I take photos

Thanks in advance and grts

Why is safari freezing after the mavericks upgrade?

My safari keeps freezing after upgrading to Mavericks yesterday. Everytime I try to go back using 'two-finger swipe', the page freezes and I can't use the cursor to go up or down, select any links on the page etc. Anyone else experiencing any issues like this? If so, what did you do to fix it?

UPDATE to my Oct 31 post:
Within hours of my original post, I walked out of my office and dropped my macbook pro onto the parking lot asphalt. When I checked it, the screen wouldn't come on. (Maybe I shouldn't have complained about Mavericks!)
I ended up traveling 120 miles to an Apple store, where they not only repaired my screen for free, but looked at why it was running slow under Mavericks. They pointed out that I was running Sophos anti-virus for Mac and that it was no longer compatible with Mavericks. With my consent, they took it off and assured me there is no need for anti-virus software at all. I now have all my original speed and response back.
My MBP was a few months out of warranty, so I am very impressed that Apple fixed it without charging me anything, and then went on to make suggestions about how to improve its performance.
