No constant speed when backing up to TC via Ethernet or wireless

Hi,
I finally gave in and made an ethernet connection between tc and mbp. I disabled the airport on my mbp and I started time machine for the initial 110 GB backup (parallels vm is excluded). Whar I have expected from this connection is a nice steady flow of data. Instead my activity monitor shows different transfer speeds as low as 500 KB/s up to 12.3 MB/s. But the graph is not a line with some small bumps. It looks more like a printout of a heart beat monitor. Is there anything I can do?
I have had the same problem when I tried to do that job wireless, it was just another scale from somewhere around 10 KB/S up to 6.1 MB/s. How comes?

Sounds like you are connecting the Mac and the Time Capsule to an existing network. Have you tried connecting the Mac via Ethernet to one of the LAN ports (not the WAN port) of the Time Capsule? If that works, then chances are that your existing switch is problematic. Perhaps your existing switch doesn't support gigabit?

Issue with 2wire dsl router when connecting power pc g4 via ethernet

Issue with 2wire dsl router when connecting power pc g4 via ethernet. The 2wire will keep resetting. When I connect my macbook pro via ethernet to the 2wire all is ok, but as soon as i connect the power pc. . . .reset. I have emailed 2wire support. They recommended using a different patch cable. Tried that.. .. anyone else having this issue???? Any help would be appreciated. . .

Search the discussions for issues with 2wire dsl routers. This has come up before in a discussion I've been involved with, but probably not to do with the MDD. I do remember it being a design issue with the router, something that was done to it before dispatch.
Let us know if you can't find it and we'll have a look.
If you afford it, bin the 2wire and go buy something decent like a Netgear.

Mac hangs when backing up to TC across ethernet network

I ended up with a T.C. which I am using over an ethernet network. The T.C. and the Mac are both connected to this network and both correctly get dhcp info from it (e.g. the mac is not directly connected to the T.C. and wireless is off). I can set up the T.C. over the network. However when the backup starts my machine basically stop (I can move the mouse but do basically nothing) and the backup appears to start then hang (given an entire night it stopped at about 3gb backed up). It appears to be a bug with either the mac or the T.C. or both but not sure. Has anyone else had luck with backing up in a similar situation. Any ideas for a fix. I'm wondering if the busy network is causing problems or ...

Extremely slow speed when backing up onto Airport Extreme disk

I have a wireless network set up with the Network Extreme basestation. The basestation has a 500 GB iomega drive attached via the USB 2.0 port. The disk comes up just fine, but when I try to use it as a backup disk from my iMac using SuperDuper!, I get an effective peak copy speed of 1.9 MB/s, and it takes multiple hours to perform a ~30 GB backup. The disk is Mac formatted.
For comparison, if I plug the disk directly into the USB port on my iMac, the peak effective speed is ~15 MB/s and the backup takes 35 min.
The iMac and the basestation are both running 802.11n, with an effective speed of 130 MB/s.
On the off chance that it was the disk imaging process that was slowing things down, I have run SuperDuper! with disk imaging back to the iMac's HD rather than the Airport Extreme HD and it runs at ~20 MB/s.
To review:
- Trying to backup to the Airport disk runs really, really slowly and takes forever
- It's not the network speed, the HD speed or the software.
What's up? Anyone else have this problem? One of the reasons I bought the Airport Extreme was to use it as a network back-up HD. If it going to take a day to copy a full iMac disk, then this is clearly unsatisfactory.

I would echo Glyn's assessment. One needs to keep in mind that Apple designed this product as a low cost device to meet the typical requirements of a home user (ie streaming of music, sharing of a few files, and backups without time constraints). If one needs the performance levels typical of a network file server, then this is the wrong product to use. Perhaps Apple's marketing information for this device should make that a bit clearer.

Connecting via Ethernet - backing up wirelessly

Hi
I have placed an order for Time Capsule but I have been wandering....
Is it possible to connect to the Time Capsule via Ethernet for the Internet Connection, whilst the back up takes place over wireless? Or does it mean if I connect via Ethernet, the back up and Internet connection will be via Ethernet? What I am concerned with it Lag on the network (same applies too for Wireless) and would like wireless back up whilst connecting via Ethernet to the Net.

How to improve spreadsheet speed when single-threaded VBA is the bottleneck.

My brother works with massive Excel spreadsheets and needs to speed them up. Gigabytes in size and often with a million rows and many sheets within the workbook. He's already refined the sheets to take advantage of Excel's multi-thread recalculation and
seen significant improvements, but he's hit a stumbling block. He uses extensive VBA code to aid clarity, but the VB engine is single-threaded, and these relatively simple functions can be called millions of times. Some functions are trivial (e.g. conversion
functions) and just for clarity and easily unwound (at the expense of clarity), some could be unwound but that would make the spreadsheets much more complex, and others could not be unwound.
He's aware of http://www.analystcave.com/excel-vba-multithreading-tool/ and similar tools but they don't help as the granularity is insufficiently fine.
So what can he do? A search shows requests for multi-threaded VBA going back over a decade.

Hi,
>> The VB engine is single-threaded, and these relatively simple functions can be called millions of times.
The Office Object Model is
Single-Threaded Apartments, if the performance bottleneck is the Excel Object Model operation, the multiple-thread will not improve the performance significantly.
>> How to improve spreadsheet speed when single-threaded VBA is the bottleneck.
The performance optimization should be based on the business. Since I’m not familiar with your business, so I can only give you some general suggestions from the technical perspective. According to your description, the size of the spreadsheet had reached
Gigabytes and data volume is about 1 million rows. If so, I will suggest you storing the data to SQL Server and then use the analysis tools (e.g. Power Pivot).
Create a memory-efficient Data Model using Excel 2013
and the Power Pivot add-in
As
ryguy72 suggested, you can also leverage some other third party data processing tool
according to your business requirement.

Constant Speed + Timing not working

Hi,
I have two clips that are in the same group. I've created a motion path whereas the clips are pulled from left to right across the canvas. The 2 clips are a panormic still image that has been stiched in PS.
I've set the timing speed to "Constant Speed" but when I replay the clip the speed is not constant and it seems like the motion "fades" in at the start and "fades" out at the end.
Thanks in advance.

hi,
it sounds like there is an amount of easing in and out of the motion path. two things you can do, navigate to the keyframes window, select the keyframes and set the interpolation to linear. Or dont use a motion path and simply apply a Throw behaviour, or set your own keyframes.

Ken Burns Effect - Variable vs. Constant Speed

On a test slideshow I worked on in iPhoto, I noticed that the Ken Burns effect uses a "variable" motion. Meaning if I'm utilizing the zoom effect, it'll start out slow, then speed up, then slow down again for each photo. However, I just want a constant speed zoom for each photo.
Is there away to have the Ken Burns effect zoom (and/or pan) with a constant speed?

100 brownie points to Terrabay! LOL
For those that don't know how Terrabay arrived at his solution: iMovie DOES let you dictate how long your transition (for ANY transition) is when you put it into your show. When you press editing and go into transitions drag the transition you want into your time line - you can adjust how long you want it to be and which direction you want it to go before you put it in your show, and if youve already put it in but want to lengthen/shorten it, just click on your transition in the time line, make the change and press UPDATE. Simple.

Slow motion (constant speed) rendering problem. ATTENTION PROs!

I have tried almost everything to try and fix my problem and now I am going insane!
I am editing a short promo featuring constant speed adjustments and video filters. When I render the video seems to drop frames and jutter. Why is this when i have only reduced the speed of the clips by 50% or 75% ? ?
I have put it through compressor several times and printed the video onto DVD to see if the problem lies within any other program, but i believe my problem is with final Cut HD.
The footage is HDV interlaced. I have made sure the frame blending options are checked although this makes no difference and have rendered it I dont know how many time.
Do I need to bring the original rushes out of the bin and adjust the speed again from scratch...essentially start again?
HELP! I am going mad!
Mac Book Pro (2ghz intel / 2gb memory) Mac OS X (10.4.9) Final Cut Studio HD

I have done it!
I firstly made a quicktime movie, using current settings, to create a single HDV clip. I then created a new sequence, titled HDV, and opened up the sequence settings. Going into the video processing tab I changed field dominance to 'upper odd' and motion to 'best'. I then dropped the new HDV clip into the timeline. At this point I sent this new clip to Compressor and chose the 'best quality 90min 16/9', MPEG 2 two pass + Dolby. EXPORT....HAPPY DAYS! The results are great. Perhaps I could make it better by stopping the footage down to SD first?

Constant speed wed site

Hi
Is there a web site that will send info at speeds that you can pick and be sent at a constant speed so you can check what speed your connection is running at and if it is going fast and slow?

Hi Golden Shoes
when I use speedtest dose it show me the speed of my connection from my Mac, or dose it shoe the speed of the internet connection. In other words my ISP gives me 500KB/s but what if the speedtest returns a 1.2G/s?

Constant speed for an unbalanced load

I have a machine that uses a Dart 253g to drive a dc motor. The arm if an offset arm that rotates.. We have tried to balance the arm the best we could but the load is still off. What happens is as the heavier part of the arm is on the upswing of the motion, the drive cranks up the torque and pushes it up and over the peak of the rotation. The problem is, on the way back down, the load takes off and "freewheels' around until the upswing starts again. Would a constant speed drive help eliminate this? This machine has no feedback on the arm
Thanks in advance
Ken

You will need a regen or 4-quadrant drive to provide dynamic braking. A tachometer will always help with speed regulation(only on the upswing with your current drive, though).

GT70-2OC-408US Fan goes to max speed when idle

Just as the title says. The main fan goes to maximum speed when the computer is left idle overnight. Putting the computer in to sleep mode or restarting the machine solves the issue but that is quite annoying. This happened on both the stock install of windows 7 home edition and after I did a full wipe and re-install of windows 7 ultimate. I have looked at the bios update section and there are 2 bios updates for windows 7 but I do not know which one to use and there isn't much documentation with on it. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Hi I have a similar problem, the fan goes full speed from time to time when idle or when using youtube, facebook, etc. And the FAN will never slowdown again until i turn off the laptop or put it to sleep. What I have noticed is that the integrated video card runs hotter that the 770m discrete card not sure if that's the one triggering the fan at full speed.
I found a post about a fan controller for a msi gt70 2od laptop and it works, it truly modifies the fan speed, but not sure how good that is, because if the fan is being activated because of the card getting hotter and the fan is set to 10 or 20% it may not be enough to cool it down and keep the temperature at safe levels at least while leaving the laptop on all night long unattended.
hxxp://forum.notebookreview.com/msi/718530-official-msi-gt70-2od-owners-lounge.html (Dave Pearson's GT70 2OD FAN CONTROL v1.2, and photos of this can be seen)
BTW the fan started to work at full speed after I installed windows 7 ultimate 64 bits and continue to work this way even when I went back to Windows Home Premium 64 bits. Also a 8GB ram module was added to this laptop.
If you were able to solve this issue please post the solution here, so everybody is aware on how to solve this issue.

My motor runs at a constant speed

i have a
PCI 7342 controller.
MID 7654/7652 servo motor drive
motion control software
motion assistant 1.1.
I have setup the hardware connection.
When I try to run the motor using the motion assistant the motor runs at a constant speed irrespective of the velocity that I specify in the motion assistant.My motor velocity is 7 voltage per 1000RPM.The motor keeps running at a constant voltage of 25volts.I donot have a encoder but I have a tachometer.
pls help.

Hello Sumitha,
In order to use servo motors with National Instruments motion controllers, you must have some form of position feedback. This is required due to the PID control loop implemented on the controller. Without some kind of control loop, there is no way to guarantee that the motor will get to the commanded position following the specified trajectory. Servo Tune is a tool used to adjust the PID parameters, which in turn control the stability of your system.
If you do not have any way of adding position feedback (such as a quadrature encoder), you will not be able to make full use of your motion controller. It is possible to simply read a voltage in and output a specified voltage from the motion controller. However, you lose all hardware timed control and all the benefits of a motion controller. If you are interested in that option, a DAQ board might work better for you. Otherwise, I highly recommend looking into adding a quadrature encoder to your system.

DC motor - constant speed

I 'm a light user of Labview and need some assistance.
My objective is to make the dc motor retain constant speed even when a load is applied.
The tools I have to acquire data with are:
NI USB-6211
Labview 8.2
Optical Encoder - 1000 pulses per revolution
My main concern is writing the PWM VI to do this.
My first guess is to set use a DAQ assistance to acquire a signal as a counter input from the encoder.
Not really sure what to do with that because I am kinda lost from there.
How would I use that info to adjust the PWM of the output signal?
All help is appreciated.

Hi jgarcia,
this doesn't work at all. Your application requires closed loop control. This means you need deterministic behavior (= stable timing of the control loop) for single point I/O operations. With your setup this is not possible due to the fact, that both the USB and Windows introduce a lot of jitter (using a PCI DAQ device would make things a bit better, but you still couldn't get reliable control behavior on a Windows operating system). For a control system reliable timing is at least as important as proper tuning of the control parameters.
For motion control tasks it's much better to use a device like the PCI-7342, that runs all control operations in a realtime environment onboard. Other options include using a realtime operating system and PCI or PXI DAQ hardware or a cRIO-System with drive interface modules. For a single-axis system, the PCI-7342 is probably the most cost-efficient solution.
Sorry for the negative answer, but with your current hard- and software setup you will could easily waste a lot of time on a poor solution.
Kind regards,

I'm suddenly getting the kernel panic message and constant restarts when connected to the time machine wireless network. if is switch to the BT network, all fine. no help found so far as to what's wrong or how to correct, anyone have any thoughts...

Recently upgraded to mountain lion in order to buy the new tall tower for time machine backups. had to get technical support to help with set up as it wouldn't play ball with two computers. all working fine up until last week when the iMac started getting backup error messages. then system restarts independently when using time machine on the time machine wireless network. only stops restarting when I switch the wireless network back to he bt one, which is a pain obviously as can't back up to time machine then. it has to be a problem with airport utility or something wireless but all says all up to date with software etc. all still works fine backing up from laptop on the wireless network, just the iMac is not happy. any help or thoughts very much appreciated.

Hi, many thanks Bob, what you say is not unthinkable at all, although it does answer the question
"what could I do *instead* of ..." rather than the one I actually asked, but seriously ...
Shutting down might be an answer, although it would clear out my tmp directory - which I might not want to have to sort through looking for things I want to save every time I go to work, and also, now that nvram doesn't seem to work for disabling the boot chime, it can get a bit embarassing booting up in a busy meeting if I have forgotten to mute before I shut down. There are all sorts of other issues, such as editing documents, loading web pages and so on that I would have to set up again.
Your suggestion of letting Apple know is a good one - thank you for the link.
Take care,
Mark
