One possible reason for the spinning beachball with versions 10.0.2 trying to play/see anything

Hi there.
I discovered today what is the reason for the strange problem I've been having with FCP X from 10.0.2+. The problem was that I just couldn't use it: I couldn't see any media in the canvas/preview pane, no matter if it was video, jpgs, psds, whatever. Trying to use or reproduce a project was just more of the same: a spinning beachball forever. At some point, from time to time, the black from the preview pane changes to a checkboard, but that was all.
This happened in 10.0.3, 10.0.4 and 10.0.5.
I tried everything, removing the events, projects, and so on. The only thing that worked was to create a new user in my machine and use FCPX there. Everything seems to work fine there. I did that yesterday at 3am. Today I saw that the colors were off in that user, and I remembered that the calibration is not setup at the system level, but for each user, so went on to change the profile to use the one I did for my screen (I have my screens calibrated frequently). Voilá, now FCPX doesn't work anymore on the new user. The only change was the profile, so I went to System Preferences, selected the old (default) profile, and now FCPX works fine.
I don't know if the problem is my profile (I created it with ColorEyes DisplayPro, I don't have anything else right now to try to create a new one) or if the issue is with FCPX itself, as I have only had problems with FCPX related to the profile. In any case, the issue is now identified in my case, and even if I don't like to work in a non-calibrated screen, that will have to do for now.
I will try some other calibration software and see if the results are the same, but I thought of sharing my findings here in case someone is still having this issue.
Tomorrow that the 5770 arrives for my Mac Pro 1,1 I'll try to run it, also with the calibrated screen, and see what happens.
HTH,
Rodrigo

I'm sorry, but I'm not sure what you mean with "the profile is downstream from ColorSync"?
I'm willing to accept that there is something wrong with the way ColorEyes DisplayPro is making the profile, although if the OS loads it and uses it and doesn't complain at all - nor any other app I use - I don't see why FCP should have issues with it. But I'm willing to try some other app to create the profile for the screen and will do as soon as I can get my hands on some other.
Between lines, hopefully I'm wrong, but I read you are telling me that FCP doesn't support having a "typical" monitor calibration, usual in printing/photography/etc workflows, but only supports calibrated output through broadcast monitors, using third party hardware? And that in the Color screen settings I must not use any "user generated" screen profile?

Possible reason for the iMac G5 with 10.4.3 Sleep Problems

Ok first off let me say that I got this new iMac G5 20" about 4 days ago. It's wonderful. If anyone out there is holding out for the intel machines, don't wait, get a G5. It's a fantastic machine. Now on to the meat of the subject. The story goes like this; I hooked up my Plextor PVR with eyeTV to my iMac to see how well it would do (been using it with a P4 Windoze XP machine and my iBook G4 14" with no problems). It worked just great. No problems with the iMac, the PVR or any of my other addons (including the boatload of software I migrated over from the iBook). So I set up EyeTV to record some stuff while I was asleep. It's supposed to wake up the Mac, record the shows then the Mac goes back to sleep. Easy huh? Well the wakeup, record part went just fine but the Mac wouldn't go back to sleep. Perplexed (actually thrilled, this is where I have my most fun with new machines, figuring out why they aren't working correctly) I did all the standard "I can't get my Mac to sleep automatically" things. You know, blow away all the plist files that have anything to do with powermanagement and autowake, reset NVRAM from OF, reset the PRAM (3 times just like the old days), reset the SMU, blow away all the Bluetooth plist files, etc, etc. Did them all, don't suggest any, I did them all I swear, really. I've been through this kind of thing before. One big difference with this iMac. Nothing and I mean nothing would work to fix the problem. The only way the bad boy would sleep is by hitting the Power button for a second or selecting "Sleep" from the Apple menu. Hmmmm. Spent the better part of a morning reading every thread here about peoples problems like mine. One post and I mean exactly one had something I hadn't tried. I rebooted the Mac in Safe Mode (hold the shift key down while it boots until you get the login screen with the red text "Safe Mode".) I forgot that OSX even did that. Logged in as myself (normal login but still in safe mode) and low and behold the thing would sleep automatically! I repeated this (boot in normal mode, boot in safe mode) many times. Every single time the Mac would sleep from safe mode but not from normal mode. Tells me it's software not hardware. In each mode I run "Activity Monitor" and save a list of the running processes to a text file. Now compare them and shutdown each process that is different one at a time. To make this story somewhat shorter (heh) I finally found that I could consistantly make the machine sleep or not sleep by killing the "mdimport" process and restarting it. This has to do with Spotlight. To be exact, it's the process that imports Metadata into Spotlights data list (I'm no expert, have a basic understanding of this). So on a hunch I ran the terminal and entered the command to delete then rebuild Spotlights databases, "mdutil -E /". Then I let Spotlight rebuild that databases and rebooted. Guess what? The iMac sleeps perfectly now, go figure. I did this once so far and the Mac has been working correctly now for about 5 hours. I've got a feeling that the problem will come back. Especially if it's an inherent problem in Spotlight and the 10.4.3 upgrade. I don't seem to have this problem with 10.4 or earlier. Long post I know but I thought it could help someone out. Please post any comments. I'd like to know if what I did is coincidence (I really don't think so since I reproduced it many times) or not.

iBook G4 1Gig, iMac G5 2.1 Gig, iMac 266 Mac OS X (10.4.3) iMac 266 running 10.3.6, been using Macs since the '80s

Right guy's i to have researched this problem
concerning my auto sleep problem.I started off by
following Joeaux's original post by safe
booting,noting what was running in the activity
monitor,booting normaly and again noting what was
running now.I eliminated the same processes that were
running from both boots, and then started quiting one
by one, the extra processes, from the normal boot, in
activity monitor.Once you quit a process, allow the
computer to try to go to sleep i.e set energy saver
to 1minute and wait to see what happens.I tried the "
mdimport"as of Joeaux but this was not my problem.In
my case the sleep problem was down to two
applications called N67U_ButtonManager and
N124U_ButtonManager.These are for use with my Canon
scanner.I also noted that if i left the scanner
connected to the computer this would also stop it
going to sleep,even after deleting the two
applications.Hope this helps!
Thank you now i know that those login items are for my scanner, and not logic audio i am a little less angry(Logic is now an apple application but the version I run was from the emagic days and i presumed that the button managers were from this app as it was the oldest bit of software running on my machine) By the way any apps that may cause a problem like this are more than likely simply residing in your user login items and can be disabled from there permanently as far as i can see.

RAM failure as one possible reason for MBP not booting up

Hello,
Just moving from an HP Win 7 laptop and got a brand new 11' MBP a month ago, which I must say was a bit disappointing in terms of overall performance, as I was clearly expecting more from a Mac.
Yesterday, after it went off out of battery, could not boot it back up despite plugging the charger: black screen, little white light on but nothing else. Tried anything I could find on this community pages (hard reboot, SMC, etc) without any success.
My IT support came this morning, and removed one of the two 4 Go RAM barr (from Samsung) and it rebooted magically. Apparently this is their second case of RAM failure on new MBP in 24 hours
Besides, I am now experiencing with a much faster computer on 4 Go of RAM instead of 8.
Bottom line, some recent Macs may have been equipped with defective RAM chips, you may want to consider this if running into a laptopt that stops bootting up.
Hope this helps
Cheers

I just noticed you said you'd erased your hard drive. That might be why there is nothing to see.
OK, try this -insert a system CD then power off. Switch on and hold down the alt key. Do you get the grey screen but with no drives appearing? If so, is the CD/DVD drive spinning and making a noise?
Wait for a minute or so and see if the CD/DVD appears on the screen as a boot option once it gets up to speed. It won't appear instantly.
if it does select it and see what happens. be patient. A boot DVD will be slow but you should hear the drive going if it's loading the software.

I just bought the newest model for the MacBook Pro with Retina, and I am trying to save an animated GIF but it comes out as thumbnails, can someone please help, I am very much new to apple. Thank you in advance.

i would just like know how to save an animated GIF, thank you.

Possible reasons for error 1074396005 invalid avi session

Dear All,
I am working on creating and writing frames on to AVI files. I need to start writing frames up on record on command and close the AVI file up on record stop command. I am trying to read frames from an recorded video and write in to another AVI file.
But i am observing Error 1074396005 invalid avi session, whenever i run the code. I am using AVI2 VI's (IMAQ AVI2 Create, AVI2 Write and AVI2 close).
I am using LabVIEW 2013 SP1 and Vision development module versions.
Below is the block diagram for reading an avi file and writing in to avi file upon record on command (numeric control value 1 to case selector)

Below is the error observed:
Kindly suggest what would be the possible reason for the error.
With regards,

Might be good if you can post the code instead of screenshots.
-If session was closed or aborted due to some reason you should get this error.
-Multiple times you are creating the session inside the loop with same avi session, is it required?
-Are the images added to the avi file?
Thanks

What's with the spinning beachball in iTunes recently? Is it just us?

Since sometime in June (2009), I've noticed strangeness in my iTunes - mainly on my home computer, an Intel iMac G5 (purchased Dec 2008) with iTunes music stored on a Firewire 800 external hard drive (SimpleTech 1TB). We have two iPod Classics (120 GB) set up for manual syncing and almost anytime we drag and drop music from iTunes to the iPods, the beachball will spin from 20 seconds up to probably a minute. The music library is about 250 GB, which I guess is pretty large but we never noticed anything until recently. It's extremely frustrating. I know that sometime recently I had to force quit while iTunes was waiting to receive Genius info - it was hung up for almost a half hour and I figured I would just start from scratch, but that didn't seem to make a difference... I'm still spending lots of time waiting for the spinning beach ball to stop... Any ideas?

OK. So I figured out that I can start up using my Leopard install disc and than run Disk Utility>Disk Repair. (Unplugged all peripherals to be safe.) The result: It says my HD is fine.
Which brings me back to square one. I'm having one primary problem that's maddening. If I drag and drop songs from iTunes 8.2 to my iPod Classic 120GB (set for manual sync), I am greeted with a spinning beachball for some amount of time - typically 30 seconds to a couple of minutes. Strange.
This has never happened before and I'm pretty OCD about keeping my 250GB-ish iTunes library clean and organized. The only third party app I'm using is iVolume 2. I'm not sure what to do except wait and see if a future update will fix this. Anyone else having a similar problem?

Is possible to take the Infopath form with two repeat section in one SharePoint list

Is possible to take the Infopath form with two repeat section in one Sharepoint list
Take two repeat section and put them one bellow to other one in a SP list.
The motive is that the first repeat section is based in account own by the requestor and the second repeat section is when the requestor is doing backup time for some one else where need to log the amount of time that spend in the peer account.
I have basic logic in the form when requestor said Are you doing backup for some else? and press YES it is be able to use the second repeat section.
Le me know how much pain full is going tobe or not..
–Q1: Is possible to do this ? With codeless or not
–Q2:What steps I need to do to accomplish this? feasible or not
the following picture give a better idea of what I am looking to accomplish:

ESS- Leave : You are not one of the possible agent for the task ws9021212?

Hi ,
I have copied the standard workflow template wa12300111 and assigned the new template in the customizing. When i apply leave from ESS working time , it says an error " You are not one of the possible agent for the task ws9021212? " .
The similar kind of Error i have solved before in by making the workflow as GENERAL TASK in PFTC as follows.
PFTC -> Choose "Workflow Template" from the drop down -> Enter the workflow template id "ws9021212" in the text box -> now click on "change" button -> Now goto the menu addional data -> agent assignment -> maintain -> select the task text -> and set it as general task.
i have cleared the buffer also!
BUT STILL I AM GETTING THE ERROR ?
Please help me !
Richard A

hi Richard
Try to do this way. IN the workflow builder there is a button with hat. that is basic data. click on that and it will go to another screen and u can find a apple button that is agent assignment for a task click that.
It will open maintain agent assignment screen. click the text below that and click the attribute button and click the genral task. i think this will solve ur issue.
If helpful kindly reward points

I thought AppleTv & the reason for the new n router with USB HD port

I thought the whole reason for the new Airport n router with USB HD connection was to be able to connect a large, 500GB USB hard drive to the Aiport n. Then have ripped movies or photos stored on this network drive. And then AppleTV could stream from this hard drive? The 40gb AppleTV HD becomes mostly for the OS.
Now that is a powerful marriage of Apple hardware.

I thought the whole reason for the new Airport n router with USB HD connection was to be able to connect a large, 500GB USB hard drive to the Aiport n. And then AppleTV could stream from this hard drive?
Nope. As with iTunes Sharing, an Apple TV cannot use a library directly from a hard drive. You must have a computer running iTunes for the Apple TV to connect to.
You can, I believe, put your iTunes library on the Airport-shared hard drive, but I wouldn't be comfortable doing that if it were me. My view on such wireless hard drives is that they're best for file transfers and backups, not for use as one's primary storage device.

When I try to open a file with TextEdit, I get the spinning beachball and the file takes almost a minute to open.

When I try to open a file with TextEdit, I get the spinning beachball and the file takes almost a minute to open. When I just start TextEdit everything is fine. Also when I log on with another account TextEdit works like a charm, even when opening an existing file.
What I have done so far:
checked permissions in Disk Utility
validated all fonts
deleted all canon printer drivers
deleted all preferences
Nothing has helped. Mail shows the same behavior as TextEdit. What else can I do? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What's with the new edition of Pages using Maverick? Google rejects the files with the following message attached "The reason for the problem: 5.3.0 - Other mail system problem 552-'5.7.0 This message was blocked as its content security threat?

I recently upgraded both Pages 09 (I believe) and went to OSX 10.9 Maverick .... now I am unable to send a pages document to a friend on gmail. Google rejects the message and attachment with the following explanation -
The reason for the problem:
5.3.0 - Other mail system problem 552-'5.7.0 This message was blocked because its content presents a potential\n5.7.0 security issue.

Same Problem here
IWORKS 09 pages, keynote, numbers does not send in MAIL (mac) because of "This message was blocked because its content presents a potentialsecurity issue"
its a problem not only on GMAIL but also Live, Hotmail, Yahoo, and other services...
The problem is that gmail and others haved yet accepted the latest iworks 09 files. its a problem that apple can ask then to fix but its up to the gmail and others to fix it.
Solution!!!:
1 - Send it by exporting to office files
2 - Saving the files as old iwork documents
3 - Command P and save as PDF
4 - Save in icloud and send the URL
So you can still send them but have to take a bit more of your time
i hope you understand my english is not optimal
And if you have any questions feel free to ask me

Think about that. If the port or terminal (client ip address) is blocked, then the communication never got to the database. So how would the database be able to audit an action that never got there?
