On Demand Freezing/Sticking

Everytime I try to access the on demand portion of FiOS, I will be scrolling though the titles and it will freeze/stick on a title, and I will have to wait for a few seconds, and then it will catch up and scroll through real fast.
Its really annoying. I have tried resetting the box, nothing.
Ideas?
Also, why does SD on demand looks like crap?

Hello chalewa4bambu,
The VOD menu sticking has been happening for a little while now. The department which controls the VOD menu and content is working on a solution to this problem, however, no target release date has been fixed. The cursor will scroll through really quickly because it will log in the number of button presses you do when it gets hung up for that second and automatically readjust itself the number of times you hit the arror.
As far as the picture goes you can refer to

Tweens in AS3 Freezing / Sticking

Hi all,
i have a problem with my tweens, usually they are just fine
(i am tween an MC via three tweens x,y and rotation) sometimes
however they simply freeze or stop dead. they dont complete
properly becuase the MOTION_FINISHED event does not trigger.
The swf doesnt freeze as i can pick up the tween from were it
left off. It just seem that Flash "forgets" its doing a tween
Sometimes, only one or two of the tweens will stop, for
example it will get to its y position, but it will stop rotating
and moving along the x axis
its very frustrating, any ideas?
have a look for yourselves here :
http://www.freehand.co.uk/clients/life/presv1/v1_1.html

The culprit is most likely the garbage collector. If you do
not have any references to your tween object, it will eventually be
destroyed by the garbage collector.
From
Adobe
Flash Quick Start
quote:
Note: Consider variable scope when using the Tween class. If
a tween is created in a function, it is important that the
variable's scope exists beyond the function itself. If a tween is
stored to a variable of local scope, ActionScript garbage
collection removes the tween as the function completes, which will
likely be before the tween has even begun.

I am running Windows 7 Enterprise. I want to upgrade to a newer version of itunes. I click on help then click on check for upgrades. When I try to upgrade/install the upgrade for itunes it loads 52MB of the required 56MB and then just freezes ?

I am running Windows 7 Enterprise.
I need to upgrade my version of Itunes from version 7 to version 10 or 11.
I go to Help and click on Search for Upgrades.
I then select Upgrade Itunes.
The system starts to upgrade and download the new software.
It gets to 52.60 MB of 56 MB and then it just freezes / sticks and does not go any further ?
I have tried to upgrade on a number of occasions but the same thing happens each time.
Any help please ?

Everything freezing / working very slowly

I've been away for about 2 weeks, & since I got back & switched on my Mac, nothing seems to work properly; Firefox, Bridge & Photoshop are all seizing up; freezing, sticking, not reacting when I type, or taking several minutes to react. Almost everything I try to do involves watching that beach ball spinning round for several minutes. Anyone got any idea what this is? is it a bug? I removed Norton as it was driving me crazy with it's incessant pop-up messages, but maybe I should re-install it? I installed something else instead that was recommended here - ClamXav? I've installed updates for the Mac.

Norton? I can't believe they are still trying to sell that to Mac owners! Could very well be your whole problem. Did you use Norton's uninstaller or just put it the trash? Putting it in the trash won't get rid of Norton's parasitic grip.
Try using Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk for OS 10.6.8 and under. If you are running 10.7 or 10.8 run Disk Repair from Disk Utility on your Recovery System. It shows you how in the link.
You could have some directory corruption caused by Norton. Let us know what errors Disk Repair reports and if DU was able to repair them. This could just be a start in repairs and you may need a better utility to finish the job.
Then Repair Permissions.
No need to report any Permissions errors........we all get them.

Firefox can't open normally without going through the "this is embarrassing" routine; nor does it close down properly; it also sticks frequently, i.e. screen freezes for a minute or more; should I uninstall and re-install to try and debug?

Firefox can't open normally without going through the "this is embarrassing" routine; nor does it close down properly; I get the "end program" message and have to say "end now"it also sticks frequently, i.e. screen freezes for a minute or more; should I uninstall and re-install to try and debug?
- I've used Firefox exclusively for around 2 years.
- My outlook express has no problems
- other programs seem unaffected; it seems peculiar to Firefox.
- my main use is surfing the net, primarily entering competitions on line via specialist competition sites.
- every day at some stage(s) I have to switch computer off as Firefox has got very slow/sticky/freezes.
I'm not techy by any means, but I can only thing of un- and re-installing to hopefully start with a clean slate.

Sounds like something is keeping Firefox from closing properly. See this: <br />

On Demand - sound & picture freezing

For about 10 days now we have had an issue with our On Demand service. Mostly, the just sound goes but also the whole thing freezes for a couple of seconds, before going again for another couple of seconds. Rinse & repeat.
We have been on the phone to BT Technical Support nearly every day, whereupon we are asked to reboot the Hub and/or the Vision box, wait and see if anything changes. We have been told on three occasions now by BT Vision support that someone will contact within 24-48 hours but they never do. We have to phone up (again!) only to be told the same thing (reboot, is it fixed?).
I don't have them available, but the Speedtest results are very good - the support person's response when I told them was "Wow!". Despite this we continue to have issues. We are four months in to a 24 month contract and if it is this difficult and takes this long to get issues sorted out then I am not sure I want to continue with it. We were with Virgin Media previously, and whilst not error free by any means, things were sorted out a lot quicker then BT seem to be able to manage.
What's our next step? I am getting fed up with phoning Tech Support and getting nowhere and am tempted to wait until I can call BT on "breach of contract" for failing to provide a service for which we pay, thereby getting us out of the rest of the 24 month **bleep**-hole that is BT Vision.
Regards,
Chris

Hi Chris
I can't imagine how frustrating the Vision service has been.
I was only in contract for 12 months - now I'm PAYG.
I was going to recontract a while back (mainly for the kids pack - not for me of course) but it's after reading various bits of news and seeing certain posts that TBH it's put me right off doing so. The 30 skip removal was and is very annoying.
Also when BT dropped a boo boo a while back, they allowed ALL vision users to watch 2 selected OD titles for 1p.
One was unwatchable (juddered throughout) and the other was charged at full price!
BT did refund the full amount and wavered the 1p charge for both titles - which was the right thing to do IMO.
I've recently noticed that some of the free to view OD vids (mainly the help vids) can intermittently judder, so I doubt I'll ever sign up to a package.
I wish I could advise on a way to get out of your contract, but sadly I can't.
I doubt there is such a way without incurring the dreaded cancellation charges...

Welcome to the forum!
It shouldn't do that, you'll be pleased to hear. To help we'll need more information. Are you on an ADSL broadband line or do you have an Infinity connection?
The first thing to do is to run BT's speedtest at http://speedtester.bt.com/ and see if that shows any problems.

MLB AT BAT 13 sticking/Pausing/freezing

I'm extremely frustrated with my IPAD (or my app). I've used this app for almost a year and have been able to watch complete baseball games with almost no problems to speak of....
The last few days, I've been watching games and after a few seconds it sticks. I can't even get through Joe Buck's monolouge in the pregame without a few "sticks". It starts going again with no problem, but it's really not watchable. Amazon Prime Instant Video works fine. I don't youtube much, but in limited use it seems okay.
I have unloaded my cache in safari. Cookies ARE allowed on my laptop.
I've reset all my settings and have had no luck. I've done all the "power downs" and restarts. I've deleted the App and redownloaded and have had no correction. If I get on my laptop, the game feed works great. I've also tried multiple routers, so I don't think Internet Speed or connection is the problem. My wife watches TV on several apps on her laptop, but I'm having no luck with MLB At-Bat after almost a year of success.
Does anyone have any tips or ideas? I'm grasping at straws here.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

BTVision - Keeps freezing & no sound "On demand" +...

Hi,
When trying to play on demand, films etc. the picture freezes, no sound. If I FF then it will play normally for a few minutes then the senario starts again. The hub is upstairs plugged directly into a phone socket with a filter as supplied. The main socket is downstairs again with a filter attached. I have tried all the tests - resetting the hub and vision+plus box etc. to no avail. I even bought a new tv with freeview, guess what still the same problems!!!! I have a dvd+vcr recorder attached to the tv but I can't see this making a difference to BTVision?? So far I am unimpressed with this package as I seem to be paying for a service that we can't use!!! Frustrated!!

Your line is configured to the maximum rate that it can support or at your chosen fixed rate, this is known as the line rate and would be viewed through your CPE software or in your router configuration.
Your IP profile is always less than the line rate and is normal on any network.
The Upstream Test rate figure quoted will always be smaller than the assured rate profile. This is because in order for the throughput to reach its destination, it requires an overhead which explains the difference between the two.

Right...
This is about the fifth post I've read that states all the 'recent' user problems and the totally 'new' user problems.
Such as, a request for On Demand content has 'been re-routed incorrectly to the box', resulting in a VO4 error. And blank recordings. And stuttering On Demand, on a users previously faultless Vision sevice.
Am I the only one who thinks we are being used as a testing ground for the new Content Connect YouView delivery system?

On demand program freezes

Other than unplugging and restarting the x1 cable box, is there anything that can be done to fix intermittent freezes of some on-demand programs? The programs will randomly pause and lock up the system.

What's the resolution for ios8? freezing, crashing, sticking, malfunctioning, can't upload photos, apps going haywire, what's going on?

CAn we please bring back the the older versions of ios? I am frustrated with the stupid changes, crashes, freezing, no uploading, malfunctioning of apps from this stupid new upgrade. I am seriously fed up with Apple and feel as if with the exit of Mr. jobs, may his soul rest peacefully, the rest of you are clearly screwing up a great thing. Then you keep mentioning the upgrades will help the other problems - NOPE, it's screwing it up! Just give us the older versions where our systems were working better. Thank you VERY MUCH!
one person's dream clearly isn't another one's passion.

First things first, thank you for taking your time to respond.
However, you cannot tell me that these problems are not frustrating you. I tried going onto Safari this morning, it crashed seven (7) times - SEVEN TIMES. I tried checking my email, it crashed six (6) times and that is not supposed to be frustrating? I began responding to this thread on my iPad, while typing, it froze. I have officially switched my iPad off indefinitely and no longer see it as a useful digital companion as it was for me.
What if I was in a meeting this morning as I am accustom to using my iPad to retrieve information? That has done it for me. Look at the forums on iPad alone, it is riddled with complaints regarding iOS8, check Google, it is the topic of Town. Everyone is searching for a way to revert to older versions, in other cases, people have simply deemed their iPads useless, if that is not enough to get Apple cracking then I don't know what is. iOS7 came with it's problems too, but it was bearable, iOS8 just killed it for a lot of people, including myself. Earlier versions of iOS wasn't even an issue. I never encountered crashing, freezing and all these other problems in earlier versions of iOS, they streamlined well, the problems were so few, they weren't even an issue. iOS8 is U.N.A.C.C.E.P.T.A.B.L.E!
Possibly Apple is so concerned with staying afloat with the competition they are losing ground. Funny thing is, Apple, for me, was one of the TOP in the game, now, please, Apple has gone down under for me!
How can I take my complaint directly to Apple? Or is this the only route to deal with the situation?

Pull down menus freeze or stick

Increasing frequency!.... I use a pull down menu on the internet (regardless of browser or webpage), try to choose item from pull down menu, but menu sticks and won't process the choice I've made. Must hit "esc" and try again.
I don't have this problem with any other computer...PC or Mac.
Any ideas?

See if the Disk is issuing any S.M.A.R.T errors in Disk Utility...
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH7029
Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
How much RAM & free space do you have also, click on the Memory & Disk Usage Tabs.
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
In the Memory tab of Activity Monitor, are there a lot of Pageouts?
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...
