My macbook lag every second on every game, Including the DOCK!?!?!?!

Okay, as I've explained in the previous thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2667172&tstart=1
My lag is very baaaaad, I cant play a game after i start it and play a minute or two, then it comes. **** found the way to my computer. Satan. It lags a second, then its normal speed again, and then lags a second again, that happens until i play around with the grapich, Its best if i put on highest which makes it lags like *** And then reduce it again, or otherwise. And most of the time it doesnt even work to do that. And the DOCK lags too when i have many apps open. It slows down a second, then it speeds up again, then slows down. Its ******* annoying when im playing a game, like if i run on an edge, or towards one, and it slows down or speeds up, im ******* dead. Its so ******* annoying i dont know what the heck i should do.
Thank you.

1. Try to refrain from expletives as they get censored and all those * can leave us wondering what you are saying.
2. For us here on the forums to help you, we need some information about:
a. White macbook, 2.26 ghz, 2 gb ram, year, i am not sure, midle 2010 i guess, or early 2010, the edges of it is like, round.
b. 250 gb, and like 100 gb free.
c. 2 gb
d. Any application gets lagged, Minecraft, Counter strike source, Air hockey, i really mean EVERY application. I'm WAY over the system reqs.
e. The mobile broad band application. But there's nothing else. It lags without that app too. Its way much worse if i restart my computer too.

How to export every second or every third image out of lightroom?

Hi,
I have collected 30000 photos from a WebCam and I would like to make a time lapse. Pictures are taken every 15 Minutes and they are in sequence order (00001...00002...etc). I actually dont need them all for the time lapse and would like to export only lets say every third or every fourth picture. How can I do this with Lightroom?
Thx for your help,
Felix

Hi thx for your help,
I have now come to complete different solution. Because I am renaming all files before the import to Lightroom (with vRenamer, cool programm), I have found a little terminal command (extremly fast) which does exactly what I want (I just googled that, so not my credit):
mkdir -p ~/Desktop/NewFolder ; IFS="\n" ; find ~/Desktop/TestFiles -type f | sort -f | while read ; do scp "${REPLY}" ~/Desktop/NewFolder/ ; read ; read ; done
Newfolder = the folder in which the nth copies going into
Testfiles = the source folder
At the end there ; read ; read which will skip 2 files. If you wish to skip more files than add more "read" as you like.
After doing this I got in "NewFolder" something like pic_001 pic_004 pic_007 etc. I than rename the files with vRenamer to get them in sequence 001,002,...etc and essentially import them into lightroom.
Cheers
Felix

Macbook: How do I uninstall a game on the macbook? I need to reinstall the game for it to work, but I can't figure out how to uninstall the game to begin with.

I need to reinstall the game for it to work, but I can't figure out how to uninstall the game to begin with. I know that in Windows, there is an "Uninstall" option, but I have found no such option on the Macbook.

This is one OS X's few weak spots. For most software, it is sufficient to drag the application out of the Applications folder and into the trash. Of course, this does not delete its preference files, etc, but these are usually pretty small, and can either be left in place or deleted separately.
Some software might ship with a separate uninstaller utility that you can run. Sometimes, the package installer can also perform uninstalling, too.
You can buy general purpose uninstaller utilities, but as far as I know they won't work for software already installed; only for software installed once the uninstaller is in place.
Perhaps the safest option is to contact the company that made the game and ask them how it should be uninstalled.

Write to measurement file VI - every second, is that too fast ?

I use the write to measurement file VI to save 5 values + a comment to a file. The VI is in a loop. The VI adds new values to the same file every time it is called. In one of the tutorials it is said "VIs can be more efficient if you avoid opening and closing the same files frequently". I understand that; the write to measurement file VI does open and close the same file every time it is called.
I want the VI called every second to save new data. Tests I did with this rate did show problems. However, what is meant by frequently? Every second? Every millisecond? So my question is: is saving every 1 second, like I want, likely to cause problems, or isn't that time period hardly a problem? Or is there a better solution (although this VI gives me all possibilities I want, including saving a comment and saving to multiple files with nice filenames; I would really like to use this VI).

The answer lies halfway between mine and Nukem's answers. Instead of storing all values in a shift register until the end, you simply store them, for say 1 hour, and append to the file. This also enables you to save some of your data in the event of a power failure or something.
Use a nested for loop, the inner loop will run for say, 50 or 100 iterations, storing values in a shift register array. Upon exiting this loop, the data is appended to your file. The outer for loop will run for how many iterations out need.
For some simple examples, lets say you need 10,000 loops and you want to save every 100 iterations. Have the inner loop run 100 times and the outer loop run 100 times.

Every second or third row

a statement SELECT Column FROM Table returns all elements of Column ...
is there any way to return only every second or every third or every ...-th element?

I don't know about other databases, but in Oracle every row has a pseudo-column ROWNUM that you can use to do this easily. For example, every other row ought to be:
SELECT Column FROM
(SELECT Column, rownum i FROM Table ORDER BY somethinguseful)
WHERE mod(i, 2) = 0

TS3274 My ipad screen is flashing about once every second when plugged in, it wont boot, no logo

I have an ipad first generation. it wont turn on when press the power button. When i plug it into the wall, the screen blinks about once every second. It does not display any logo.
it doesnt seem like i can reset it or put it into recovery mode.
Any suggestions? do you think it has a hardware problem?

Hello oilyragfun, I am having the exact same problem. Did you ever get this resolved?
No history of drops or abuse. When I plug it in the screen just dimly flashes or pulses about once every second. No logo, just the entire screen dimly backlit for a half of a second the blank again. I can't get it to respond with any combination of buttons or reset proceadures.

Ipad cant be used - keeps flashing 'enter apple id password' every second

Hi,
I turned on my iPad 3 today and it is unusable.
Every second it flashes up with the following - Sign in to iCloud.
It wants me to enter an old apple ID that has been disabled.
I cant sign in to make the flashing stop, and I can't do anything else as the flashing is continual every second.
I have tried turning the iPad off, resetting by holding home and off button.
I thought I would reset to factory settings and just lose my data but that isn't working either!
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi SmithyfromBT,
To be sure an old Apple ID does not keep popping up like that, use the steps in this previous thread to remove it -

Every video or podcast stops and starts every second

Any help would be appreiciated, using Chrome, Windows XP Pro with SP3, Pentium 4 2.4GHz, with 2GB Ram, with Nvidia Gforce 5200 video card! Too old a system??

hi, all three are pretty much the same, and its not a buffering issue. I hav Verizon Fios and had a WUGNET speed test show download speed being 11.3 Mbps and upload of 1.24. It was possible the Html was slightly better but not by much.

That should be fine for system specs. My first guess would be network bandwidth issues. Does it seem like the video/audio buffers fast enough or does the buffer continue to run out when the item is played? Try these two links out, do either of them play better?

How to view all my game including deleted ones on game center ?

Just asking how to view all of my game including the deleted ones on Game Center ?

You can't review you r deleted games in Game Center

Fps rate drops by 10-30 every second (every app and game)

Okay, so I am often playing games on my Mac.
From a silly 2d game to Modern Warfare 2.
And always when I play them, (Literally always), I have the fps rate up so I can see it.
And then this lag comes.. (my avg fps before the lag is around 45 on this game), and I watch it when the lag comes, and it goes down to 20, and then up to 35~, and then down to 20 again, and up to 35~, and it keeps on doing that for a painfully 5-10 minutes.
This is extremely annoying when playing Counter-Strike:Source (Yes, for mac), because when you get this lag, and you jump near an edge, or shooting, then you will miss the shot because the whole game slows down with this fps rate problem.
And it even happened when I was scrolling down with Firefox on a webpage.
And once it happened when I was watching a HD-movie on facebook.
What could it be?

(I'm the thread starter)
Wow! Finally someone with the same problem!
Are you saying that I will have to open FaceTime every time I boot the computer to activate the dual cores?
Or is it permanently activated if I open it once?
Thank you so much!

My macbook isn't charging continuously. It goes between 'charging' to 'not charging' every few seconds. What could be the problem?

Try a SMC reset:

Have you checked the connections from the power adapter to the MBP? Note the pins in the power adapter are spring loaded. See if they are free. Are the connections discolored?
Have you checked the battery status? Open System Profiler or System Information and look at this display:

Have anybody experienced a frog like sounds that keeps burping on macbook? Its a very annoying sounds that burping every seconds.

Have anybody experienced a frog like sounds that keeps burping on macbook? Its a very annoying sounds that burping every seconds.

Did you ever find a solution to this problem because I have it too. I have gotten used to it when listening to movies etc., although it can startle me, but I find it very irritating when I am trying to record something off my computer, like a quiet meditation, onto a voice memo, and this happens…I have to start over and hope it doesn't keep happening.

My Macbook Air shut down on the screen and is making a beeping noise every second. I tried charging it up unsuccessfully.

Please help. I was watching netlix last night and my computer just went dark. It began making a beeping noise every second. It would not turn on or all the way off. I tried charging it which changed nothing--not the screen nor the beeping.

if its continuous it cant be every 3 seconds, logically
1 beep = no RAM installed
2 beeps = incompatible RAM types
3 beeps = no good banks
4 beeps = no good boot images in the boot ROM (and/or bad sys config block)
5 beeps = processor is not usable
hardware fault regardless. Still RAM
dead screen, no SMC reset possible, ergo:
Contact Apple for appt. for free diagnostics and drop off at your local Apple shop.

Digital (optical) audio jerks on and off every second or so

Sudenly got this annoying problem, when sound on optical audio cuts off and on again repeatedly every second or so. As if there was a wire with bad connection. The optical cable is fine thou, i checked with my other macbook.
So that must be a problem with my main macbook. I restarted it in hope that its just a software glirch, but the problem remains.
Sound from MBs speakers ir fine.
What to do?

Now there is no sound at all. When i connect optical toslink there is no sound. When i connect usual 3.5mm jack to analog system, it sounds ok.
I can see the red light, but there is no sound. What could it be? Software or hardware problem?
