Never ending search

Just today, when I search in Spotlight or in the Finder it never stops, just keeps spinning.
Can the HD lose it's index? Can I force a re-indexing?
I'm using a MDD G4.

  • The never-ending search for right 7D import/export settings

    Hey all,
    When it comes to technical specs, I'm still learning when it comes to HDSLR footage.
    So I'm STILL looking for the right settings for my video to look smooth and crisp. It's gotten better as I've experimented with a few different settings.... but by the time I export out of FCP7 it's still not even as sharp as it looks on the lcd of the 7D. At times it looks like crap. So, I need a tad bit of help. I'm sure I'm still doing something(s) terribly wrong.
    So, here's a run-down of my settings from beginning to end.
    IN CAMERA
    Shooting 720p 60fps
    IMPORT
    Bringing onto external with CF card reader
    CONVERT
    Converting 7D movie files with MPEG streamclip
    For compression, I choose Apple ProRes 422 HQ, set quality at 100%, frame size at 1280x720 and I un-check interlaced Scaling
    IMPORT
    I import these transcoded files into FCP7
    EXPORT
    For best quality, I:
    Export to Quicktime move --> ProRes HQ 1280x720 60p
    For HD YouTube upload, I:
    Export to QuickTime Conversion:
    Video Settings --> H.264
    Key Frames every --> 24 frames
    Data rate restrict to --> 3500 kb/sec
    Optimize for --> download
    Size --> 1280x720 HD
    Prepare for Internet Streaming --> Fast start
    So, what newbie mistake am I making here? What should I change?

    That's because using Cmd+J for doing slow motion on 720p60 is the wrong way to go about it.
    Log & Transfer your 720p60 clips as ProRes 422. Open the .mov files in Cinema Tools and conform them to 720p30 or 720p24.

  • AdamSync from AD to LDS goes into a continuous never ending loop... can't figure this out.

    I THINK I've got this thing configured up to the point where it should be able to sync.  The XML config is set to just grab a single OU with roughly 12 accounts in it.
    Everything seems to connect OK, then it does a ton of "Processing Entry", even though there are only a few accounts in this OU.
    Then it begins to do "Adding target object..." and gets stuck in a never ending loop.
    Can someone point me in the right direction on how to troubleshoot this?
    This is what the log looks like:

    I have seen an almost identical problem within an Apache CXF web service. In my situation the end of the stack looks almost identical, stuck forever (apparently) inside the native Deflater.deflateBytes.
    In my situation I have seen this with two threads, each independently using GZIPOutputStream.
    I am really starting to think that there is a thread safety issue with the native GZIP code - two independent objects in two threads are simultaneously zipping and both get stuck with 100% CPU utilization in the native code. Interestingly my situation is also in the close processing, but not inside the finish processing. Of all the situations I see with searching for similar situations (search the web for Deflater.java:306) there seems to be a set of common circumstances:
    * Exactly the same last few levels on the stack (ending in Deflater.deflateBytes (Native Method)
    * Two threads interacting with GZIP
    * Often seems to relate to close processing (perhaps a short data remainder problem?)

  • EM Patch Job never end

    Hi,
    I was trying to patch my Oracle 10g R2 10.2.0.3 using the dbconsole. But the EM Job never end(more than 20hours run). The patch job stuck in "checkTarget" with the log file show "waiting for output" (the previous step "cachePatchFile" succeeded).
    Anyone know what could be the reason?
    Thanks

    I searched for a way to stop the job because it's still on the Preparation now.
    But i did not find the job in ALL_SCHEDULER_JOBS and with EM i can only stop it friendly, not forcefully.
    Does anyone have a hint?
    Thanks

  • Updated my iPhone 5 to ios7, in the App store after installing updates I now have a never ending list of the Apps I've updated.  How do I get rid of the list after they've been updated?  In the previous version I did not have an annoying permanent list.

    Updated my iPhone 5 to ios7, in the App store after installing updates I now have a never ending list of the Apps I've updated.  How do I get rid of the list after they've been updated?  In the previous version I did not have an annoying permanent list.

    iOS 7 allows you to have your apps update automatically. Therefore, the list of what has been updated stays so that you can see what was updated, when and what the release notes say. It has been suggested that they list has a limit, much like Recents. Currently, there is no way for the user to delete the entries manually. Just try not to look at them.

    anybody knows how long takes the proxy client generation process?

    I have this issue also, with images from my D70 (~6 megapixels) ... no solution, except that when it happens, quitting and re-launching Aperture seems to clear it up for a while, at least until it happens again.
    Given that you have almost twice the RAM and four times the CPU cores that I have, I suspect this is a software issue, and not one of insufficient hardware resources.  :-)

  • I printed a 'preview' document and now it continues to print a never ending set of copies.  I have re-installed the printer software, but it still continues to print more copies.  What do I need to do to stop the document printing?

    I printed a 'preview' document and now it continues to print a never ending set of copies.  I have re-installed the printer software, but it still continues to print more copies.  What do I need to do to stop the document printing?

    Try resetting the printing system.
    1. Open System Preferences > Print & Fax
    2. Move your mouse over the Printers list
    3. Hold down the Control button and click the mouse
    4. Click the "Reset printing system ..." popup
    5. Restart your Mac
    This will remove your print queues but not your printer drivers. So you will only need to add your printer queues again.

  • Initial Time Machine Backup never ends

    Hi all folks,
    I try to backup my PB12 Disc (120 GB) to a external 500 GB Disc, connected via FW400, but the backup never ends, I think.
    The backup starts with 100MB/min but after 20h (80GB are store to a external Disc) it slow down to 1MB/min.
    With the "Activity Monitor" I see only some disc activities and a "mds" and "mdworker" process use some cpu time only (more than 10%).
    Where can I get some detail information, a log file, about the Time Machine activity from.
    Thanks for any help,
    Lutz

    Hi all folks,
    the initial Backup ends after 2 days (nice to to see, :-(),
    but on the boot volume I can go the time walk only.
    I split my disc into two partitions, sorry.
    Bye, Lutz
    p.s.
    With CCC I spend 4-6 hours to back up my disks only (100GB).

  • Mappings never ends

    Dear All,
    We are using 10.2 version of OWB and we have around 80 mappings in one module daily we are running the mappings parallel through control center for the time consuming (manually). but one mapping still running normally it takes 1:30 to 2:00 hrs time to finish but some times it is taken almost 5 to 6 hrs some times it never end. at that situation we stopped the mapping.but while we check the target table data is coming perfect.
    Let me know the cause of this and how to salve it.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    When you kill the mapping from the Control Center the DB session which was triggered by mapping won't kill , you may see the session still running from Session Browser or any other way. This may be the reason you see the data in the Target table. to test this you may start regular running mapping and kill it from CC and observe the session from Database and you may see the data in the target table too.
    This may be one possibility. I am not saying what others say is wrong . I had experienced this issue before and i had to tune my code to get the mapping run consistent.

    I am experiencing the identical problem. I am hoping that if I drain the battery until it is completely dead it may force a "hard" reset which when charged again, it may start working properly.
    Let me know if you find anything out.

  • Suddenly never ending pinwheel and slower than usual

    My macbook pro suddenly started to get slow and gave me a never ending pinwheel while only having Safari running. The mouse was working but no response when clicking. Only way to restart computer was by holding down the Start button. Restarted and this time the computer hang up when I tried to Log in (while writing Login and password). I mangaged to Log in two more times but I got the pinwheel again when browsing internet. Finally I managed to make it to Support/Community.. any idea what's wrong?
    Thanks in advance (: !

    Print out these instructions and info at the links provided as most require you to be offline.
    Do a SMC and PRAM reset first, then a Hardware Test
    https://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/26871.html
    https://support.apple.com/kb/ht1509
    If the hardware test gives any errors, note them here.
    Check the time and date on your computer to make sure it's correct.
    If your still having slowdowns, pull the power plug on both the router and the modem, connect the modem and wait a bit then connect the router. Reboot your computer and it should connect automatically to your wifi. See if your slowdowns only occur if connecteted to the WiFI or not, that way it can be determined if it's a internet issue or not.
    (If your still having slowdowns, it might be because you have a Open Network on your router and someone is leaching off of it. WPA 2 with AES is the only secure wifi standard))
    You can test your internet connection speed here, see if it matches what your paying for.
    http://www.speedtest.net/
    IF your computer still has issues then:
    Fish out the 10.6.x disks that came with your computer (grey) or the 10.6.3 Snow Leopard retail disk, stick it in the computer and reboot holding the c key.
    (Make sure the disks are clean on the bottom, wipe with a very soft cloth and a tiny bit of rubbing alcohol to clean and don't place the disk on a harsh surface that can damage the bottom.)
    Second screen in, under the Utilities menu is Disk Utility, select your drive on the left and click First Aid, Repair Disk (please write down any errors this gives and tell us) and Repair Permissions (the results there you can ignore)
    Do not erase or reformat the drive.
    Reboot and see if your computer works, if not repeat the c boot off the installer disk again and this time skip Disk Utility and install OS X.
    It will install on top of your 10.6.8 installed version (only, not your programs or files), which when finished you reboot and immediately Software Update to 10.6.8
    This should take care of anything wrong with OS X itself.
    Now to clean the caches of the user and other checks.
    Download the free OnyX for 10.6 and run ALL the maintenance and cleaning aspects and reboot at the end of the tasks (you can cancel in between reboots) but reboot at the end of using Onyx)
    Do all the checks it asks when it starts up and note any errors here they report.
    Also under the Verify Tab is a Preference (plist) check, check the "show only corrupt files" and run that, make a note of all and any corrupt plist files.
    http://www.titanium.free.fr/
    Plist files are preference settings files that sometimes get corrupted and may be the cause of your problems.
    If you have some, then you can look in your Users/Library/Preferences folder for them and Trash them and reboot the machine and load the program responsible, the plist file gets rebuilt without your preferences which you reset.
    The next thing to check would be your web browser plug-ins here
    https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
    For Flash in Safari check here again as it's more accurate
    http://flashbuilder.eu/flash-player-version.html
    Download Flash and install if it's not this version (latest)
    http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    Silverlight here
    https://www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/get-started/install/default.aspx
    Finally install and run ClamXAv on your drive, this will look for known malware that might have gotten accidentally installed.
    http://www.clamxav.com/
    Since OS X was reinstalled, along with bundled programs like Safari, this should only leave applications and users as a source of any infection.
    If your stil having issues, then create a new user and transfer your files over and when up on the new user, delete it.

  • D10, boot problems, a never ending fan test!

    I hate this noisy fan test!!! My dog always panics, if it is in the room! But that's not the problem.
    If I switch on the external mains, the fan test starts and ends after some ten seconds.
    If I push the switch at the front of the maschine, the fan test starts and - sometimes - never ends. In this case, the maschine - obviously - will not boot. What to do? - Repeat the procedure. Sometimes I need 10 or more attempts to boot the maschine.
    Now I found (shortly before I decided to bring the maschine back to the dealer): The fan test succeeds nearly every time (and the maschine will boot), if I switch off all the external USB-devices (5 disks, WLAN-stick, memory stick, etc).
    My questions:
    what's going wrong with the fan test at my maschine?
    is it possible to skip this crazy fan test?
    Thanks for your help!
    Lenovo PC Think Station D10 6427-H6G, Windows XP

    regarding the fan test, this cannot be disabled.   thinkstations are designed for 24/7 uptime just like servers and the BIOS tests the fans at every boot/reboot.   since there isn't much reason to turn these systems off or put them asleep, the best workaround is to leave your D10 running 24/7 as it was designed to do.   mine only gets rebooted for windows updates, software updates, or video driver updates.   otherwise, it's up 24/7/365.
    regarding the fans getting stuck, update your BIOS.   the latest version can be found here.
    also, if you put your system to sleep, be sure to wake it with the power button and not your keyboard.   a few users have reported their fans getting stuck when waking with their keyboards.   i'm not aware of the issue happening when using the power button.
