My MacBook is almost two years old and has started running really slow. It gets bogged down when it is running different programs at the same time, like Safari and Pages. It didn't react this way until recently. Any advice would be very welcome.

Launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive (the drive itself, not the volume icons below it.) Is the SMART status "Verified?" If not, replace the drive immediately. If the status is "Verified," the drive may still be failing. Back up all data, if you haven't already done so. Reinstall Mac OS X, then run Software Update. Test with all wired peripherals disconnected. If it's still slow, you have a hardware problem.

Can't run Pshop and another adobe program at the same time

Hi all,
I'm experiencing a frustration problem. I can't run two adobe programs a the same time - ie, Lightroom and photoshop, After effects and photoshop.
Lightrrom and After effects sem to be playing together okay at the moment so looks like it may be a PShop issue.
Running final release of windows 7 64 bit, licenced PS3, trial AE, trial PS4....8GB Ram, has been with both Nvidia and ATI video cards, open GL on , Open GL off, seperate scratch disks, reinstalled everything,
Any help, advice, hints would be really appreciated as having to close programs all the time when switching apps is a real pain in the neck
cheers
Jeff

thanks whytefly,
yeah I thought that may be the case but then realised both After effects and CS3 are 32bit (86x) and I can't run those together
I'm jealous as hell that you can run 3 together haha,
cheers

How do i extend airplay to stream music at the same time to AEX and ATV2

I have a new ATV2 and an AEX, my macbook, 2 Ipod touches and an Ipad2.
I figured out how to setup my ATV2 and airplay through my macbook and my touches. My ATV2 is in my living room on a Yamaha 6.1 receiver with 2 channels. I have 6 speakers in my living room on channel A and a speaker in my bathroom on channel B.
So....I decided to grab an extra Bose speaker and bring it to my foyer/kitchen and hook it up to my AEX since i cant hear the music too well when im cooking or in my office from the speakers in the living room.
I setup the AEX to connect direct to the speaker. When Im on Itunes (either mac book or touch) i only get two options to airplay, AEX or ATV2.
My question: How do I extend airplay to stream music on BOTH AEX and ATV2 with the same music at the same time?
Please and thank you!

As you are already aware both the 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) and ATV2 are AirPlay "speakers." When both devices are properly connected to your home's wireless or wired network, both should show up in iTunes as in your case. Also the iTunes AirPlay speaker selector should provide you with an option to choose multiple speakers. As a minimum, you should see: Computer, the AXn, the ATV2, and the Multiple Speakers options. Is this not the case?

Can I use one GBIP-Interface with two programs at the same time?

Hi, I have one PCI-GBIP-controller with multiple instruments installed. Now I want to use these instruments with two differents programs at the same time.
E.g.: program 1 uses GPIB0::1 and GPIB0::3
and program 2 uses GPIB0::4 and GPIB0::7
Is this possible??
When I have tried to do this, I always got timeout errors..
Thanx in advance.

Hi,
You shouldn't have any problems accessing different devices from different programs using the same interface. I even used the two VIs to communicate with the same device. Although not the best approach, VISA didn't return any errors.

How to compare two different characteristics at the same time in polestar

Hi Gurus,
I would like to analyse the e fashion universe in polestar with comparison of previous year product line with current year product line at the same time.
is there any way to do that we can compare two years of the product line sales revenue at the same time with comparison chart like 2003 T shirts vs 2002 T shirts
in polestar we can compare the two measures at the same time but i want to compare the sales revenue of product lines of two years in a comparison chart at the same time.
Regards and thanks
Abid Paul

Hi Stratos,
I am actually able to compare the Measures but i want the comparison between the two different characteristics like this year productline vs last year productline at the same time with say one measure like sales revenue or any other.
Is it possible to compare the both and it should represent in the chart as well at the same time.
In the polestar i can compare three measures at the same time but i want to compare characteristics like year 2009 productline VS 2008 productline with one measure say sales revenue.
I would really appreciate if you could help me out.
Regards and thanks

Hi,
When Zeen's battery level goes below 5 %; it tends to Reset to Default where it looses all the connections and sync to the printer or router.
So its very important to make sure that Zeen's battery does not go to low. To avoid this I would suggest to charge Zeen regularly.
You may try the steps below as of now and check the results.
We need to Factory Reset the Zeen making sure it is connected (Docked) on the C510a printer.
Once it is docked try the steps below:-
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02844556&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&jumpid=reg_r1002_us...
Open the above link; and then perform the Factory Reset as shown in Solution Two.
Once completed try connecting to Wireless and check the results.

Time Division Multiplexing and Processing Different Loops at the same time

Hi, I am new in Labview so you may find my questions too silly, sorry about that
I want to design an interface to control the test&measurement devices remotely. I have two desks and there are several devices on these desks. The real problem is to use two different devices at the same time. To do this I heard that I can use time division multiplexing. But I couldn't find enough information about it in Labview. Another advice I heard was to use a matrice and hold the on/off state of the devices in this matrice.
Where should I start the design to create such a system? Do you have any advices? Thank you in advance.
My basic GUI is attached.

As Mike pointed out you cannot communicate in parallel on the GPIB bus - unless you have separate buses for each instrument - and that defeats the purpose of a bus. I am not sure about LXI.
With regard to your VI:
1. Do not use global variables to pass your data around.
2. You should use the Array data type, not the Matrix data type. The Matrix data type in LabVIEW should only be used for matrix mathematical operations (linear algebra) which cannot be easily performed on the array data type. You have many more tools in LV to work with arrays.
3. The Event structure needs to be in a parallel loop. This is basic data flow. If you do not understand this concept, get some training, either though the online tutorials or through a class.
4. Use Value Changed events and place the button terminals inside the event case for that control.
5. The parallel loops need to have a Wait or some other function which causes a delay. Otherwise, the first one to start executing could consume all available processor resources. These are called "greedy loops."
6. Use integer data types for case structure selector inputs. Floating point values are coerced to integers at the inputs. If the values resulted from calculations, unexpected rounding effects may occur, resulting in the wrong case being selected. In some cases using type defed enums may be even better. The underlying data is integer and the enum item names show up in the case selector labels, helping to document what the case does or why it was selected.
7. Remove the timeout case from the event structure since it never executes. Also avoid Use Default if Unwired on the terminal with your matrix (array) data. You never have a situation where an empty array is appropriate.
Before going any further with the program questions, you need to carefully define your requirements. How many instruments will you have? How many can be active at one time? What kinds of communication between the program and the instruments is required? This includes commands to the instrument, data returned from the instrument, error handling, and timing requirements. What will be done with the data? Display, save to file, use to automatically control another device? What safety requirements or constraints need to be met? Once you have a good requirements document, then you can begin to determine what kind of program architecture is best suited to meet the needs.
I suspect that you may be making some things much more complicated than they need to be while ignoring other important issues.

Control two different parameters at the same time

Two motors were connected each other rigidly. One motor controlled torque and the other motor controlled speed. I generated some torque and speed data which represented one cycle of motion from a motor simulation. I like to send these two different data sets (torque and speed) to two different motors at the same time. Torque data sends to one motor and speed data sends to the other motor to see the response of the load profile. In order to do this, I thought about using multithread, but I am not sure it will work for this application. Usually multithreading delay the CPU time so the overall control process might be delayed, right? If you have better idea, please let me know.

If you are using one motion controller to control both motors, you will probably run into problems if you try to use multithreading on the PC. However, you can execute up to 10 programs (threads) at a time, in addition to host communication, using on-board programming. For more information on on-board programming please refer to the following tutorial: Developer Zone Tutorial: On-board Programming in FlexMotion

My iPhone is merging different contacts with the same firstname into one contact. How can i resolve this.

My Bosses iPhone is merging different contacts with the same firstname into one contact. How can i resolve this? He seems very disturbed and thinks i don't know what i'm doing. I've set up all his devices to sync across and now its messed up on his iPad, and two iPhones.
E.G Contacts with firstname 'Adams' and different numbers are synced into one account.
Now i have no clue how many contacts are this way cos he has a huge number of contacts (he's the ceo).
Please i need a suggestion on how to fix this.
Thanks for the help.

How do I edit the device in iTunes?
Double-click on the name.
My screen shot shows both devices because I sync wirelessly. Right now I can change the iPod name but not the iPad name because the iPod is idle while the iPad is syncing. In another minute or two, I'll be able to change the iPad name.

Collecting data from advantech-usb4704 with two different apps at the same time

I wonder if I can access to Advantech-4704 with two different applications at the same time?
I use this block in my vis.
I have enough ports, but inputs are needed in completely different applications. Do I have to close one of them or can they run simultaneously?
Thankyou!

Dear gtu,
as nathand said, usually it is not supported to access the same physical resource simultaneously from multiple programs. In case of DAQmx for instance, you will get an error message which says that the resource is already reserved. I suppose the same would happen with your driver, however it might be worth a try.
One workaround could be however if you revise your applications and merge the codes if it is possible so that no concurent resource allocation takes place.

Depending on which soundcard you have there, but if your card is capable for
ASIO -> activate I/O drivers on Sonar/Options/Audio/Drivers -tab (mic/line sources should be listed there --> activate) and select the mic or/and Line sources on tracks "I" - dialog
WDM/KS -> use the Surround Mixer or windows recording controls for recording source selection (mic should be listed there)
MME32 - > same w/ WDM/KS
If you use Asio4All --> same w/ WDM/KS & MME32
No mic and line source simultaenously w/ WDM/KS and MME32.
You perhaps be able to do this w/ kX drivers.

ADDED:
You can also install modded version of Audigy 2 drivers/software but I have never done this w/ Li've! 5. so I can't be sure if you get ASIO support for your card.
Here are the instruction --> http://www.tech-pc.co.uk/audigy-2.php
