Need Urgent Help! RAM and Scratch Disk Problem

I was recently working on making a gigapixel panorama.  I made the panorama in AutopanoGiga and rendered it as a .psb.  I went to go fix some stuff on the file and the first thing I did was content aware fill.  The panorama ended up being 4 gigapixels before cropping.  So I wanted to try content aware fill on a small portion of the image.  I am using a 12-core Mac Pro with 20GB 1333 MHz RAM.  I have an SSD as my boot drive and four 2TB mechanical drives, none of which in a RAID. 
When I first installed Photoshop on my Mac Pro, I went into the preferences to change the memory and scratch disk settings.  The first thing I did was set Photoshop to use 12GB RAM.  Then I went to the scratch disk and noticed that only my SSD was set up as a scratch disk.  So I unchecked the activate box next to the SSD, activated all 4 other drives, and moved the SSD to the bottom of the list. 
So I started content aware fill and saw that it would take some time.  So I left and when I came back a little over an hour later, Photoshop gave me a message saying that the scratch disk was full and it couldn't complete the content aware fill.  Why did this happen????? I deactivated my SSD and activated four separate 2TB drives!
I went on MacRumors Forums and asked some people, and the only advice I got was to reset my settings.  I did that, redid my scratch disk settings, and it is still using my SSD as the scratch disk!  Can someone please help??

CAF is processor and memory intensive... most of the flashy demos of this feature have been on much smaller images.
CAF has also been known to kick RAM errors when it simply farts and dies. Is CS5 fully patched?

  • Need Urgent Help in PM8M-V H problem - keyboard freeze

    Hi everyone,
    I'm a newbie in this forum and I really need urgent help with my motherboard.
    My PC specification:
    Intel Pentium 4 2.4GHz
    MSI PM8M-V H W7104VMS v3.4 022206 14:32:17
    1GB(512MB x 2) Kingston PC3200 400MHz
    Seagate SATA II 320GB ST3320620SV (set with jumper to support SATA I)
    Power Color ATI Radeon 9550 256MB
    Lite-On DVDRW SHM-165P6S
    USB mouse, PS/2 Keyboard
    I really appreciate if anyone can help to guide me in solving my problem. My keyboard tends to freeze at the part where it says "Press any key to boot from CD". This limits me to do anything until I'm totally loaded into Windows.  Thus, disable me to perform any formating and fresh installation of OS. However, the keyboards works fine at the begining of the POST and in BIOS. Is there any settings in BIOS that i should perform?.....
    However, I realise in order to get through the foresaid message without the the keyboard freeze up is by keep on trying to boot up and shut down until it works (but only work once, then hv to try again), but this is not a solution as if what if I wanted to have 2 OS?... I cant use the keyboard to choose either of the OS installed. I have tried to change the RAM, change keyboard, use the build in VGA, or even remove the motherboard from the ATX casing - result: still have the same problem. What should I do??.. I have look around the forum for answers but there isnt any (I hope I didnt miss any). Is there any problem with my motherboard, or its BIOS, or any of the harware compatibility or etc..... what actually can I do?   
    I do not dare to perform any BIOS update Unnecessary (it seems that many have problems with BIOS problem in this forum) and moreover i think my BIOS is the most up-to-date. I cant find any new version in the net. Anyway I will check this topic frequently as possible to hope for any solution. What is the best solutions?
    Thanks.

    But the thing that makes me wonder is, my BIOS version is the latest but why this type of problem occurs??
    What version of BIOS should I use?? Any recommendation ??
    Thanks.

  • Need urgent help on file download servlet problem in Internet Explore

    I have trouble to make my download servlet work in Internet Explore. I have gone through all the previous postings and done some research on the internet, but still can't figure out the solution. <br>
    I have a jsp page called "download.jsp" which contains a URL to download a file from the server, and I wrote a servlet (called DownloadServlet) to look up the corresponding file from the database based on the URL and write the file to the HTTP output to send it back to the browser. <br>
    the URL in download.jsp is coded like <a href="/download/<%= currentDoc.doc_id %>/<%= currentDoc.name %>">on the browser, it will be sth like , the number 87 is my internal unique number for a file, and "myfile.doc" is the real document name. <br>
    in my web.xml, "/download/" is mapped to DownloadServlet <br>
    the downloadServlet.java looks like
    tem_name = ... //read DB for file name
    // set content type
    if ( tmp_name.endsWith(".doc")) {
    response.setContentType("application/msword");
    else if ( tmp_name.endsWith(".pdf")){
    response.setContentType("application/pdf");
    else if ( tmp_name.endsWith(".ppt")){
    response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-powerpoint");
    else if ( tmp_name.endsWith(".xls")){
    response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel");
    else {
    response.setContentType("application/download");
    // set HTTP header
    response.setHeader("Content-Disposition",
    "attachment; filename=\""+tmp_name+"\"");
    OutputStream os = response.getOutputStream();
    //read local file and write back to browser
    int i;
    while ((i = is.read()) != -1) {
    os.write (i);
    os.flush();
    Everything works fine in Netscape 7.0, when I click on the link, Netscape prompts me to choose "open using Word" or "save this file to disk". That's exactly the behavior I want. <br>
    However in IE 5.50, the behavior is VERY STRANGE.
    First, when I click on the URL, the popup window asks me to "open the file from its current location" or "save the file to disk". It also says "You have chosen to download a file from this location, ...(some url).. from localhost"
    (1) If I choose "save the file to disk", it will save the rendered "download.jsp" (ie, the currect page with URL I just clicked, which isn't what I want).
    (2)But if I choose "open the file from its current location", the 2nd popup window replaces the 1st, which also has the "Open ..." and "Save.." options, but it says "You have chosen to download a file from this location, MYFILE.doc from localhost". (notice it shows the correct file name now)
    (3) If I choose "Save..." on the 2nd window, IE will save the correct file which is "myfile.doc"; if I choose "Open ...", a 3rd replaces the 2nd window, and they look the same, and when I choose "Open..." on the 3rd window, IE will use Word to open it.
    any ideas?
    </a>

    Did you find a solution to this problem? I've been wrestling with the same issues for the past six months. Nothing I try seems to work. I've tried setting the contentLength(), inline vs. attachments, different write algorythms, etc. I don't get the suggestion to rename the servlet to a pdf file.

    Have you ever done a hard factory reset of your Airport Express base? If not, then try it. Push down the reset button with a pen, then keep it depressed as you plug AX into the wall and keep holding it down until the green light blinks 4 times and then turns amber. Then let go. Unplug your broadband modem for a couple of minutes and shut down your Mac. First restart the modem, then the Mac. Use Airport Setup Assistant to set up a new network from scratch.
    In System Prefs > Network > Show > Network Port Configurations drop n drag Airport to the top of the list and deselect all port configurations that you do not use.
    That's a start.

  • Need Urgent help, I have made partition hard drive in my mac book and using OS mac

    Need Urgent help, I have made partition hard drive in my mac book and using OS mac & Window8 seperately... for couple of days it works great for both window & OS mac But nowadays, my pc gets restart automatically while using window & even I cant access to my Mac OS...........  I got some error in window (error80070003) ...>>>>> Now how can I format whole drive & recover my Mac book OS.without boot disk.

    I can't find that model. If you open System Profiler in the Utilities folder look for the Model Identifier over in the right hand display. What do you find for the model ID? If your computer supports Internet Recovery here's what to do:
    Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
    Partition and Format the hard drive:
    Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer. If Mavericks is not installed, then you can reinstall it by re-downloading the Mavericks installer.
    You will need to use Boot Camp Assistant in order to create a new Windows partition, then reinstall Windows.

  • Need urgent help!!!! (combine prompt and formula)

    Hi,
    I am using Oracle Business Intelligence 10.1.3.3.2, and creating some reports from answers. I desperately need to combine
    prompt and formula on some column.
    I need to use prompt in my formula on some column.
    Need urgent help !

    You can use the presentation variables to pass the value of the prompt into the report or any column formula.
    In the dashboard prompt you see an option called "Set Variable" where and you need to give a name to the variable.(Say Var_value)
    Now the value of the variable can be simply referenced using the syntax @{var_name}{10}. Here '10' being the defualt value which is optional you can simply reference using @{var_name} and you have the value of the prompts passed.
    Hope it works
    Thanks

    Do you have a Time Machine backup or clone?  If not,
    all is lost if you have in fact deleted your OSX partition
    and you will have to do a reinstall from Recovery HD

  • Need urgent help in listing out checklist from DBA prespective for BI Implementation Project

    Hello Guys,
    We are in Designing phase Data Modeling of PDW/APS Implementation Project.
    I need urgent help in making a checklist from a DBA perspective.
    Like what are things ill be needing at a time of implementation/Deployment.
    Your expert comments and help will be highly appreciated.
    Thank you,
    Anish.S
    Asandeen

    You can get good summary of checklist from this article about
    DBA checklist for data warehousing.
    Which highlights on below pointers:
    New system or old. (I.e. Up-gradation vs starting from scratch)
    Complexity of SQL Server architecture 
    SQL Server storage
    Determining SQL Server processing power
    SQL Server installation consideration 
    SQL Server configuration parameter
    SQL Server security
    SQL Server Database property
    SQL Server jobs and automation
    Protecting SQL Server data
    SQL Server health monitoring and check ups
    SQL Server ownership and control 
    based on my real time experience, I will suggest you to keep an eye on 
    Load performance (It will be useful when your database(Warehouse) will have huge amount of data)
    System availability (Check for Windows update and up time configuration) 
    Deployment methodology should be planned in advance. Development of packages and respective objects should be done systematically.
    Source control mechanism 
    Disk space and memory usage
    You might or might not have full rights on production environment, so be prepared to analyze production environment via Select statements [I guess you got my point]
    Proper implementation of Landing , Staging and Mart tables.
    Column size (this can drastically decrease your database size)
    Usage of indexes (Index are good, but at what cost?)
    I hope this will assist you in building your check list.

  • Scratch Disk Problems - Too much hard disk space?

    Now, here's a question for scratch disk problems. My photoshop (7) used to work (on my old computer), now I've re-installed it and it says it and windows are paging to the same location, and I can't open it because "Scratch disks are full." I know there are lots of questions like this, but this one is special. I believe the problem is I have 1.5 TB of hard disk space, which apparently is too much and causes problems (?). Anyway, I would change the scratch disk location but I can't open photoshop in order to do so. Any suggestions?
    Basically, is there a way for me to change scratch disk locations if Photoshop won't even open?
    Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

    Changing the location won't do anything nor will resetting the prefs (sorry Manish-Sharma). You really need to physically downsize the partition to be below or around the 500GB ceiling. It's unavoidable as this is inherent in the old file I/O API that those programs use. Changing the scratch disk location would do nothing as long as the program partition is stil lthat large and throws the program through a loop. open your drivemanagemnt by using My Computer --> Right-click --> Manage --> Disk Management and split the partition or whatever.

  • Startup disk and scratch disk full messages

    I use my mac a lot for digital photography. I use iPhoto to catalog, and PS Elements 3 to edit. I've been getting messages that my startup disk is full, and my scratch disk(s) are full; I can no longer save or print images from PSE3.
    Please help me understand what these messages mean, and what steps I need to take to empty my startup disk and scratch disk.
    Thanks

    Greg:
    As big as you can afford. There are 160 G external FW drives that are pretty reasonable. I've used the Mercury elite drives from OtherWorldComputing and have been happy. I'm sure others will pipe in with their good experiences with other brands.
    Since the Mini doesn't have FW800 capability you can save a little by getting a USB2/FW400 model instead of the USB2/FW400/800 one. However, if you ever upgrade your Mac it probably will have an FW800 port. The price difference is about $25.
    This link is for the Mercury Elite-AL Pro FireWire 800/400+USB2 and shows the prices for each type and size.
    The The Mercury Elite Pro Classic is what I have. The price difference between the the two types is about $25.
    If you can afford a larger one then do get it as you could then partition it to clone you current drive to one partition and make it a bootable partition in case of problems with your internal drive. Then use the other partition for long term storage, and day to day backups of user documents, etc. Even put you iPhoto and iTunes libraries on it.
    With CompUSA going out of business in a lot of places you might find a very good deal on some external FW drives. Be sure to get one with FW so it can be bootable.
    LaCie's drives are very popular also. CompUSA has a LaCie d2 Extreme Triple Interface 250GB Hard Drive for $179. If you have a store near you go into it and see what they have on the floor. Some don't have extra FW ports for daisy chaining. The OWC's do.

  • I need urgent help to remove unwanted adware from my iMac. Help!

    I need urgent help to remove unwanted adware from my iMac. I have somehow got green underline in text ads, pop up ads that come in from the sides of the screen and ads that pop up selling similar products all over the page wherever I go. Its getting worse and I have researched and researched to no avail. I am really hestitant to download any software to remove whatever it is that is causing this problem. I have removed and reinstalled chrome. I have cleared Chrome and Safari cookies. Checked extensions, there are none to remove. I need to find an answer on how to get rid of these ads. Help please!

    You installed the "DownLite" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/Application Support/VSearch
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "VSearch" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
    Repeat with each of these lines:
    /Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/Jack.plist
    /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/Jack
    /System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
    Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
    Restart and empty the Trash. Don't try to empty the Trash until you have restarted.
    From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
    This trojan is distributed on illegal websites that traffic in pirated movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect much worse to happen in the future.
    You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the DownLite developer has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. It must be said that this failure of oversight is inexcusable and has seriously compromised the value of Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You cannot rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
