Music lost replaced with large 'other' file

Hi.
All my music disappeared from my 3gs which now has a large amount of 'other' files - I assume the corrupt music files.
I'm having to re-sync my music but how do I get rid of the large other files. DO I need to restore from a back up?

That will do it. This article gives all the details and shows you the screens you will see during the restore: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

Hi,
Does this happen to all 97-2003 Word files?
Word 2013 now has lots of updates compared with earlier version of Word, lots of features have been updated. Use Word 2013 to open documents created in earlier versions of Word (Word 97-2003 format), you will probably encounter unexpected problems,
expecially for those heavily formatted files.
We would suggest you to convert your document to the Word 2013 file format, then you will be able to access the new and enhanced features in Word 2013.

Speed up Illustrator CC when working with large vector files

Raster (mainly) files up to 350 Mb. run fast in Illustrator CC, while vector files of 10 Mb. are a pain in the *blieb* (eg. zooming & panning). When reading the file it seems to freeze around 95 % for a few minutes. Memory usage goes up to 6 Gb. Processor usage 30 - 50 %.
Are there ways to speed things up while working with large vector files in Illustrator CC?
System:
64 bit Windows 7 enterprise
Memory: 16 Gb
Processor: Intel Xeon 3,7 GHz (8 threads)
Graphics: nVidia Geforce K4000

Files with large amounts vector points will put a strain on the fastest of computers. But any type of speed increase we can get you can save you lots of time.
Delete any unwanted stray points using Select >> Object >> stray points
Optimize performance | Windows
Did you draw this yourself, is the file as clean as can be? Are there any repeated paths underneath your art which do not need to be there from live tracing or stock art sites?
Check the control panel >> programs and features and sort by installed recently and uninstall anything suspicious.
Sorry there will be no short or single answer to this, as per the previous poster using layers effectively, and working in outline mode when possible might the best you can do.

Speeding up a dualcore G5 to work with large Photoshop files

Hi
I have a 2.3Ghz dualcore G5 (the one that came out late 2005).
I'm working on a bunch of large format film scans (500Mb +) in Photoshop CS2, and I'm trying to speed things up.
This last week I've installed two upgrades that have helped get things moving - first I upgraded the RAM from 4.5Gb to 12 Gb, then I installed a second hard drive (Seagate 7200.11 500Gb, with jumper in place) to use as a dedicated scratch disk.
Both upgrades have given a significant speed boost, but I'm now wondering what else I can do????
I want to speed up the time that it takes to open and save these large scans.
My first thought was to buy a second Seagate 500Gb drive as a replacement for the original 250Gb WD drive. I would then have two 500Gb internal drives that I could configure as a RAID 0 array with disk utility. I would then clone my original 250Gb onto the RAID 0 drives with Super Duper.
Wouldn't such a set-up double the speed of opening and saving large Photoshop files?
I realise that with RAID 0 there is an increased chance of data loss from disk failure (double the chance?), but if I back up daily to a 1Tb external that should be ok, no?
Or should my next move to be to utilise the PCI-E slots (which I don't really understand)????
Thanks for any advice you can offer.
Richard

In my G5 Quad, I find the fastest Photoshop performance overall- especially with large-file open and saves, occurs when the setup is as follows:
Startup disk is a 2 x 150G Raptor RAID0 which contains the system, apps, and all user files- including the image file being worked on.
PS scratch is then pointed either to a third fast drive or to an external RAID0 array. This setup is substantially faster than:
....the safer method of using one Raptor for system and apps, and the other for user and image files, with a third drive for PS scratch.
With a really fast large scratch disk, you can sometimes put the image file on the same volume as the scratch file, open and save it from there, and you'll get a bit of an additional boost so long as the scratch disk is faster than the startup disk.
For CS3 (I believe it works for CS2 as well), a performance plugin called DisableScratchCompress.plugin is available which can also speed things up with a fast scratch disk. I found that using this plugin speeded things up but only if the image file was opened/saved from the first config I mentioned; it was slower if placed on the scratch disk while using the DSC plugin.

Of course if you stripe a disk with data, be sure to frequently back it up..:)

Flex file upload issue with large image files

     Hello, I have created a sample flex application to upload an image and also created java servlet to upload and save image and deployed in local tomcat server. I am testing the application in LAN. I am able to upload small as well as large image file(1Mb) from some PCs but in some other PCs I am getting IOError while uploading large image files however it is working fine for small images. Image uploading is hanging after 10%-20% and throwing IOError. *Surprizgly it is working Ok with XP systems and causeing issues with Windows7 systems*.
Plz give me any idea to get a solution.
In Tomcat server side it is giving following error:

It is only coming in Windows 7 systems and the root of this problem is SSL certificate.
Workaround for this:
Open application in IE and click on certificate error link at address bar . Click install certificate and you are done..
happy programming.

Tracks cutting short on iPod after replacing with higher quality files?

I've been replacing old mp3 by deleting them from the hd then "re-finding" the newer higher quality versions in iTunes.
Problem is all these new files always cut short in my iPod, it's been driving me mad, I thought the solution would be to erase the pod completely then replace all the files, I did this (twice) and it still happens, I even filled my pod with completely different mp3s just so I knew the files were definitely getting wiped but still the tracks I replaced cut short when I put them back on the pod.
I really hope the only solution isn't to delete the files from iTunes then re-import them, I've been trying to avoid this as my library is a few years old now with a bunch of meta-data (play counts, ratings etc) that will be lost if I do this, there must be some other way, seems a bit silly, I'd really like to know why it's happening.
This only happens on my vid pod not my shuffle btw.
any suggestions?

Ok thanks, I downloaded vbrfix but I'm not quite sure how it works (though I replaced the line of code for Mac as outlined) is there something I have to do to get it operational?
It looks like it's a problem with the iTunes metadata fooling the iPod into thinking the vbr file should end earlier then it does, maybe because cbr data was there originally and hasn't been replaced with vbr data, though it's strange this only manifests itself on the vid pod.
Would I really need to re-rip my cds? problem is I wanted to use the LAME encoder which can't be done very satisfactorily from with iTunes, it looks like maybe this vbrfix could just alter the metadata in the files themselves to make them more iPod friendly?

Can hard disk be replaced with larger capacity of SSD or SATA disk?

Weighing on buying a Twist, can I replace the hard disk with larger capacity SSD or SATA disk? Is there any capacity limit on SATA disk? Are SSD and SATA disks compatible for Twist (say replace SSD disk with SATA disk or vice versa?
Many thanks.

the Twist's hdd is a 2.5 inch 7 mm drive, which you can upgrade to any other SATA disk of this size either platter or SSD.

Working with large Artboards/Files in Illustrator

Hello all!
I'm currently designing a full size film poster for a client. The dimensions of the poster are 27" x 40" (industry standard film poster).
I am a little uncertain in working with large files in Illustrator, so I have several problems that have come up in several design projects using similar large formats.
The file size is MASSIVE. This poster uses several large, high-res images that I've embedded. I didn't want them to pixelate, so I made sure they were high quality. After embedding all these images, along with the vector graphics, the entire .ai file is 500MB. How can I reduce this file size? Can I do something with the images to make the .ai file smaller?
I made my artboard 27" x 40" - the final size of the poster. Is this standard practice? Or when designing for a large print format, are you supposed to make a smaller, more manageable artboard size, and then scale up after to avoid these massive file sizes?
I need to upload my support files for the project, including .ai and .eps - so it won't work if they're 500MB. This would be good info to understand for all projects I think.
Any help with this would be appreciated. I can't seem to find any coherent information pertaining to this problem that seems to address my particular issues. Thank you very much!
Asher

Hi Asher,
It's probably those high-res images you've embedded. Firstly, be sure your images are only as large as you need them Secondly, a solution would be to use linked images while you're working instead of embedding them into the file.
Here is a link to a forum with a lot of great discussion about this issue, to get you started: http://www.cartotalk.com/lofiversion/index.php?t126.html
And another: http://www.graphicdesignforum.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-1907.html
Here is a great list of tips that someone in the above forum gave:
-Properly scale files. Do not take a 6x6' file then use the scaling tool to make it a 2x2' Instead scale it in photoshop to 2x2 and reimport it. Make a rule like over 20%, bring it back in to photoshop for rescaling.
-Check resolutions. 600dpi is not going to be necessary for such and such printer.
-Delete unused art. Sloppy artists may leave old unused images under another image. The old one is not being used but it still takes up space, therefore unecessarily inflating your file.
-Choose to link instead of embedd. This is your choice. Either way you still have to send a large file but many times linking is less total MB then embedding. Also embedding works well with duplicated images. That way multiple uses link to one original, whereas embedding would make copies.
-When you are done, using compression software like ZIP or SIT (stuffit)
http://www.maczipit.com/
Compression can reduce file sizes alot, depending on the files.
This business deals with alot of large files. Generally people use FTP's to send large files, or plain old CD. Another option is using segmented compression. Something like winRAR/macRAR or dropsegment (peice of stuffit deluxe) compresses files, then breaks it up into smaller manageble pieces. This way you can break up a 50mb file into say 10x 5mb pieces and send them 5mb at a time.
http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
*make sure your client knows how to uncompress those files. You may want to link them to the site to download the software."
Good luck!

How do I delete a very Large "Other" File

I erroneously loaded a ton of music files to the "Other" file on my ipod classic 80g...What is the easiest way to delete this large file from the ipod?

This method deleted the huge "Other" file, but of course results in a long term issue of re-loading the ipod w/a large original file. On a external drive, I have my itunes music folder and other music in MP3/CD formats. I've tried to load these songs to the ipod, but it seems to want to place them in the "Other" file and not music. I have been manually loading these songs from the external drive and sliding them right into the music library on the itunes page. Is this the right to do this?

Software available for working with large video files?

Hello,
I'm working in PP CS6. I was wondering if there are any workarounds or 3rd party plugins/software that
make working with really large video files easier and faster?
Thanks.
Mark

Hi Jeff,
Thanks for helping. This is the first time I shot video with my Nikon D5200. It was only a 3 minute test clip
set at the highest resolution, 1920x1080-60i. I saw the red line above the clip in PP CS6 and hit the enter
key to render the clip.
It took almost 18 minutes or so to render the clip. This is probably normal but I was wondering if there is
a way to reduce the file size so it doesn't take quite as long to render. I just remember a few years back
that when the Red camera was out, guys were working with really huge files and there was a program
from Cine something that they used to reduce the file size and make it more manageable when editing.
I could be mistaken. I've been out of the editing look for a few years and just getting back into it.
Thanks.

Premiere Pro 2.0 slows when dealing with larger video files

I'm having issues with Premiere Pro 2.0 slowing to a crawl and taking 60-90 seconds to come back to life when dealing with larger .avi's (8+ mins). When I try to play a clip on the timeline, drag the slider over said clip, or play from a title into said clip on the timeline, Premiere hangs. The clips on question are all rendered, and the peak file has been generated for each different clip has well. This is a new problem; the last time I was working with a larger clip (45+ mins, captured from a Hi-8 cam), I had no problems. Now, I experience this slow down with all longer clips, although I've only dealt with footage captured from a Hi-8 cam and also a mini-DV cam. This problem has made Premiere nearly unusable. I'm desperate at this point.
System:
CPU: P4 HT 2.4ghz
Ram: 2x 1gb DDR
Video: ATI Radeon 9000 Series
Scratch Disk: 250gb WD My Book - USB 2.0 (I suspect this might be part of the problem)
OS: XP Pro SP2
I'm not on my machine right now, and I can definitely provide more information if needed.
Thanks in advance.

Aside from some other issues, I found that USB was just not suited for editing to/from, and on a much faster machine, that you list.
FW-400 was only slightly better. It took FW-800, before I could actually use the externals for anything more than storage, i.e. no editing, just archiving.
eSATA would be even better/faster.
Please see Harm's ARTICLES on hardware, before you begin investing.
Good luck,
Hunt
[Edit] Oops, I see that Harm DID link to his articles. Missed that. Still, it is worth mentioning again.
Also, as an aside, PrPro 2.0 has no problem on my workstation when working with several 2 hour DV-AVI's, even when these are edited to/from FW-800 externals.

Unstable with large cp files

I'm evaluating Captivate, using version 1.0.1188.1188. I'm
creating a fairly long, full-screen (1280X1024) training course
using Demonstration mode with over 300 slides. The CP file is about
100MB in size. I have noticed that Captivate often saves corrupt
files that are much smaller than normal: one had no audio;
Captivate failed to read another back into memory. Once Captivate
failed to display any menus; another time, when selecting File /
Save As and entering the new file name, Captivate didn't save the
file, but didn't report any error. I have 1GB RAM and 3GHz CPU and
30GB hard disk space. The Windows Task Manager shows around 400MB
free RAM.
I wonder if Captivate doesn't behave well with large files,
although I did not think that my training session I'm creating is
very long or complex. It is the first I've ever attempted to do, so
I'm inexperienced in this.
Do others have similar problems? Should I break my project
into several smaller ones?

Steve,
I am unfamiliar with the 'end of movie" preference you
mentioned. I am having problems with the "consistent" playback of
nested swf files in my application. There's only about 25 slides
but two of the 3 flash animations are consistently inconsistent -
that is, sometimes they load, sometimes they don't. I was pretty
sure I isolated the problem to Internet Explorer 6 (since it worked
fine in other browsers and the Flash player). If this "end of
movie" preferences option allows me to cut this cp file in half, it
could be helpful in isolating my problem.

Does the parser work with large XML files?

Is there a restriction on the XML file size that can be loaded into the parser?
I am getting a out of memory exception reading in large XML file(10MB) using the commands
DOMParser parser = new DOMParser();
URL url = createURL(argv[0]);
parser.setErrorStream(System.err);
parser.setValidationMode(true);
parser.showWarnings(true);
parser.parse(url);

We have a number of test files that are that size and it works without a problem. However using the DOMParser does require significantly more memory than your doc size.
What is the memory configuration of the JVM that you are running with? Have you tried increasing it? Are you using our latest version 2.0.2.6?
