Problems with browser loading and finder menus

I have a MacPro Tower using airport to connect to a DSL modem. Recently I am having problems with very slow loading of web pages, often showing "Can't Find Server" errors. The problem is not with my DSL provider, because I have two older Macs in the house using the same DSL line and they are working fine. Video tutorials on Adobe's site are freezing about two minutes in and never load entirely (not a problem on the other Macs). This happens with any browser so not a browser problem. Also when quitting applications on occasion the finder menu continues to show the menu for the application I have just quit and seems reluctant to go back to finder or another application.
Anyone have any ideas?

Similar problem here: sometimes ALL browsers (Safari, Camino, Firefox) stuck randomly on certain web pages.
If I force close the browsers, the program remain in Dock (but not in Process Monitor or in Terminal) and the machine refuse to restart (but others programs works as well).
Even if I submit a "sudo reboot" the machine remains in unknow state.
The only way to exit from this situation is to do an hard reset.

Problem with XML loading and xmlns

I'm having a problem with loading an XML file that was created by Filemaker. Filemaker will output an XML file using one of two different grammars. One outputs in a mostly standard form that I can use with one glitch. Flash CS4 AS3 seems to have a problem with the xmlns in one of the nodes.
Specifically:
<FMPDSORESULT xmlns="http://www.filemaker.com/fmpdsoresult">
If I remove the xmlns="http://www.filemaker.com/fmpdsoresult" the file loads properly and I can access the various fields with no problem. However, when I leave the xmlns=... in, it will trace out the XML properly but I can't access the fields using the code listed below. This is driving me crazy!
With the xmlns part in the XML file I get the following error when it tries to load the thumbnail files:
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.
I need to have it so that the user can enter/edit data and simply output the XML file from Filemaker and then Flash will load up the unaltered XML file and show the info requested by the user. That is to say I could have the user open the XML file in a word processing application and have them delete the xmlns..., but that is rather cumbersome and not very user friendly.
I've tried every xml.ignore function I could find but it doesn't help. Hopefully someone out there can help
Thanks,
-Mark-

Hi,
I was trying to use xml namespaces, so in my application I receive an XML file from the server. The file has a namespace, so when I parse the file I need to specify the namespace:
I got the following piece of xml:
<ls:exchange xmlns:ls=".../tsw" xmlns:tm="http://kxa">
    <ls:projects>
         <tm:annotation id="" date="" action="getprojects" status="responseok"/>
    <ls:project id="" name="proj" description="..." owner="asss" release="2" />
        <ls:projectV id="" version="" creationdate="" modificationdate=""/ >
    </ls:project>
</ls:projects>
</ls:exchange>
and the following code
<mx:VBox label="WELCOME" verticalScrollPolicy="off" horizontalScrollPolicy="off">
      <mx:Tree id="tree" dataProvider="{srv.lastResult.project}" labelField="@name" width="300" height="100%" itemOpen="itemOpenEvt(event);" />
</mx:VBox>
So i want to display the content of the xml (project nodes”) in a tree view, but i don’t know how to includes the namespace"ls:" in the data provider “srv.lastResult.project”. can u help me it’s urgent.

Problem with SQL*Loader and different date formats in the same file

DB: Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bi
System: AIX 5.3.0.0
Hello,
I'm using SQL*Loader to import semi-colon separated values into a table. The files are delivered to us by a data provider who concatenates data from different sources and this results in us having different date formats within the same file. For example:
...;2010-12-31;22/11/1932;...
I load this data using the following lines in the control file:
EXECUTIONDATE1 TIMESTAMP NULLIF EXECUTIONDATE1=BLANKS "TO_DATE(:EXECUTIONDATE1, 'YYYY-MM-DD')",
DELDOB TIMESTAMP NULLIF DELDOB=BLANKS "TO_DATE(:DELDOB, 'DD/MM/YYYY')",
The relevant NLS parameters:
NLS_LANGUAGE=FRENCH
NLS_DATE_FORMAT=DD/MM/RR
NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE=FRENCH
If I load this file as is the values loaded into the table are 31 dec 2010 and 22 nov *2032*, aven though the years are on 4 digits. If I change the NLS_DATE_FORMAT to DD/MM/YYYY then the second date value will be loaded correctly, but the first value will be loaded as 31 dec *2020* !!
How can I get both date values to load correctly?
Thanks!
Sylvain

This is very strange, after running a few tests I realized that if the year is 19XX then it will get loaded as 2019, and if it is 20XX then it will be 2020. I'm guessing it may have something to do with certain env variables that aren't set up properly because I'm fairly sure my SQL*Loader control file is correct... I'll run more tests :-(

Problem with pre-loader and video playback

Hi!
I've got a real problem - I managed to put together a
pre-loader OK but it doesn't load the entire movie.
Instead it loads a little bit and tries to stream, but it
stutters of course because the server can't cope.
So what I want to do is:
- make my preloader wait for my video file (.swf) to load
(about 6Mb)
- play my video file (.swf)
How do I do this?
You can check out what I'm attempting to do at
Scottish Car Club
Also, if I go to www.scottishcarclub.com , the video loads
up. But if I hit refresh, it turns the video from 320x260 into a
40x40 - sized box. Why!?!?!?
Thanks for the help

Problem with Batch Loader and FDM user regional settings

Hi
I am using FDM 11.1.2.1.
When I use the English regional settings for my FDM user account, I can do Export Excel from FDM, but Batch Loader doesn't work (Error : "one or more parallel processes failed to start).
When I use the French regional settings for my FDM user account, Export to Excel doesn't work anymore (Error: Conversion from string "12.0" to type 'Long' is not valid. Detail: InnerException1: Input string was not in a correct format.), but the Batch loader is ok.
Any idea?
Thanks in advance for your help

Hi Mittal,
By default, formats for date is determined by the report server language at run time. The report server language is the language of the operating system on which the report server is installed. So the formats for date is determined by the language of the
operating system on which the report server is installed.
When you deploy the report to SharePoint site that the regional setting is set to English (Australia), please also set the report language to ‘en-AU’. Then the date format can be also changes to English (Australia).
If the issue is still exited, could you please tell us the date format of date parameters and the field? If possible, please post the screenshot about this, then we can make further analysis.

Problems with SQL*Loader and java Runtime

Hi. I'm trying to start SQL*Loader on Oracle 8 by using Runtime class in this way:
try{
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec( "c:\oracle\ora81\bin\sqlldr.exe parfile=c:\parfile\carica.par" );
/*If i insert this line my application never stops*/
p.waitFor();
}catch( Exception e ){
. I have seen that if lines to insert are less then 400 all works very fine, but if lines number is greater than 400, all data go in my tables but my log file is opened always in writing.Can anyone tell me why?
Thanks

Just a note if the executable "sqlldr.exe" does not stop (quit running) by itself the p.waitFor() will wait for ever.

Problems with Safari Loading Sites and Photos

For the past week (Feb. 2015) I've experience problems with Safari loading websites on my 2009 20" iMac desktop. Running version OSX Lion 10.7.3 4 GB. Intel Duo Core 2.66 GHz
Mac also will frequently not upload photos at websites like Yahoo News or Facebook. It does this throughout the day.
So, I downloaded Chrome, thinking it would be a better browser if Safari is not functioning. Chrome is just slightly better, and when it won't load a website I get the following error message from Chrome: DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NO_INTERNET.
I'm debating taking the Mac to the Apple store for diagnosis or repair today, but if anyone else is experiencing similar problems, could you please offer some solutions as to what is going on.
Thank you.

There are dozens of CSS attributes that can (and have to) be handwritten. Trouble with them is that, like text shadows, they don't appear in all browsers. I have nine different browsers installed and test pages in ALL of them before I "finish" building site or page for a template.
I try to build for Firefox, out of personal preference for it, but I have to do things that work with IE because it still holds the market share (46%IE to 42%FF), and I will only go with designs that work in IE, FF, NS, Opera, Safari, and Chrome.
As to your questions.
1. The compatibility check is most likely current with the time of the build. I don't know if that component updates as browsers do, but I'd tend to think it doesn't. I'm using CS4 and there haven't been any updates for it in nearly a year. Firefox has released 4.0, Opera released 11, and Safari released 5 since then. The updater would have found and downloaded something if it was available.
2. I could only guess. Text shadows DON'T show up in design view (or in IE) but they do in browser preview. It's just a UI quirk, and it means "trial and error" is the onyl way to get what you want.
3. The quick-selects which are in DW dropdowns or popouts are the ones most common to CSS designs and have been proven to work with all browsers at the time of release of your particular build of DW.
Hope that helps..

I have a desktop machine windows 7 based with CS5 loaded and working without problem. I have recently purchased a laptop running 8.1 windows. I have loaded the cs5 package onto the laptop and it appears to work but when I try to update, although I am being told there are updates it attempts to download the update but then tells me there is a problem and to quit and try again later.. I have tried a number of times to download the updates but itkeeps telling me to quit and try later. what is wrong please?

There could be a 32 bit vs 64 bit issues-is the old machine a 32 bit? and what is the new machine as far as 32/64 bit. I am not sure now if CS5 has in the help menu of the PS app the selection to update within PS if so that might work. I know that the Creative cloud app for installs updates etc has caused me much consternation over the last couple few years. Last it could be something like your Software firewall settings or anti-virus anti malware programs. I know that updating the infamous adobe flash that Internet Explorer pop ups setting and having AV turned on as opposed to off can interfere or plain break the update ability

Problem with Nokia Camera and Smart Sequence

Hi,
I'm having a problem with Nokia Camera and the Smart Sequence mode.
Basically, if you take a picture using nokia camera, and view it in your camera roll, it usually says, underneath the pic "open in nokia camera".
Well, if I take a pic using the Smart Sequence mode, it just doesn't say "open in nokia camera" so, to use the functions of smart sequence (best shot, motion focus, etc), I have to open nokia camera, go to settings and tap the "Find photos and videos shot with nokia camera" option.
Does anyone has the same problem? Anybody solved it?
I already tried reinstalling nokia camera, but that didn't help.
I'm running Nokia Black on my 925.
Thanks everyone!

Hi,
I had the same problem with my 1020. It did get fixed with the last update to Nokia camera.
However, IIRC, it didn't just happen right away. When browsing the camera roll I'm pretty sure that the "open with Nokia camera" text wasn't there.
Slightly disappointed I opened the (Nokia) camera anyway and was going to test the smart sequence again. I noticed the only precious pic I'd taken using this actually appeared top left of the screen.
I opened it and I had all the smart sequence editing options again - that we're missing previous. Made a new picture and saved it.
Now when in camera roll the text shows below the image and all is good.
This probably doesn't help much except that it didn't seem to fix automatically.
I work @Nokia so I can ask around a bit to see if this is a known / common issue (not that I know any developers)

Problems with pages loading

We are having a lot of problems with pages loading slowly or not at all. We get this message all the time...server not found...even on pages that have just recently been visited. We have this problem with Safari, Firefox, and Camino. I don't have Internet Explorer installed, but why should I just keep adding new browsers. My ISP assures me that the connection is fine. I have emptied caches, cookies, whatever I can find to empty. Did I empty too much? We use a Netgear router and a company called Digitron. Any suggestions?

Hi
Perhaps the easiest way to sort this out is to set up a separate Network Location for your connection:
-Location - set up a personal location by clicking on the drop down menu and selecting "add a location". Use a name familiar to you. Once established, select "apply".
-Next, click on the "Show" drop down menu and select Network Port Configurations. Only Airport ought to be checked. Move it to the top of the list (you can drag it). Select "apply".
-Back to the "Show" menu, select "Airport". Click on the TCP panel. There, enter 4.2.2.2 and 4.2.2.1 (separate lines) in the DNS servers box and select "apply". Also, you can always call your Internet Provider to find out if they have specific codes.
Creating a personal location, plus adding the DNS codes seems to speed things up. Otherwise, the "automatic" function has a tendency to "search" for available locations, hence creating the lag you are seeing.
Lastly, in the Finder, go to your Applications>Utilities folder and select "Terminal". Once the screen is open copy/paste lookupd -flushcache and press return. This clears out the DNS cache. Once done, quit Terminal.
If the above doesn't help, I suspect the Router is the problem. Perhaps you need to upgrade its firmware. Check at the Netgear site>Support.

Problems with ListViews Drag and Drop

I'm surprised that there isn't an Active X control that can do this more
easily? Would
be curious to find out if there is - although we aren't really embracing the
use of
them within Forte because it locks you into the Microsoft arena.

Subject: Problems with ListViews Drag and Drop
I am just curious as to other people's experiences with the ListView
widget when elements in it are set to be draggable. In particular, I am
currently trying to design an interface that looks a lot like Windows
Explorer where a TreeView resides on the left side of the window and a
ListView resides on the right side. Upon double clicking on the
ListView, if the current node that was clicked on was a folder, then the
TreeView expands this folder and the contents are then displayed in the
ListView, otherwise, it was a file and it is brought up in Microsoft
Word. All this works great if I don't have the elements in the ListView
widget set to be draggable. If they are set to be draggable, then I am
finding that the DoubleClick event seems to get registered twice along
with the ObjectDrop event. This is not good because if I double click
and the current node is a folder, then it will expand this folder in the
TreeView, display the contents in the ListView, grab the node that is
now displayed where that node used to be displayed and run the events
for that as well. What this means, is that if this is a file, then Word
is just launched and no big deal. Unfortunately, if this happens to be
another directory, then the previous directory is dropped into this
current directory and a recursive copy gets performed, giving me one
heck of a deep directory tree for that folder.
Has anybody else seen this, or am I the only lucky one to experience.
If need be, I do have this exported in a .pex file if anybody needs to
look at it more closely.
Thanks in advance.

here is the required code....
private static class TreeDragGestureListener implements DragGestureListener {
     public void dragGestureRecognized(DragGestureEvent dragGestureEvent) {
     // Can only drag leafs
     JTree tree = (JTree) dragGestureEvent.getComponent();
     TreePath path = tree.getSelectionPath();
     if (path == null) {
          // Nothing selected, nothing to drag
          System.out.println("Nothing selected - beep");
          tree.getToolkit().beep();
     } else {
          DefaultMutableTreeNode selection = (DefaultMutableTreeNode) path
               .getLastPathComponent();
          if (selection.isLeaf()) {
          TransferableTreeNode node = new TransferableTreeNode(
               selection);
          dragGestureEvent.startDrag(DragSource.DefaultCopyDrop,
               node, new MyDragSourceListener());
          } else {
          System.out.println("Not a leaf - beep");
          tree.getToolkit().beep();

Problems with Customer Service AND unexplained charges!

I've been with Verizon for I-don't-know-how-many years, and through the years you are bound to have a few problems here and there but some of the problems are just ridiculous! It's also the same reocurring problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was with Alltel first, before it was bought out by Verizon. The years I was with Alltel, I didn't have near as many problems. It seems EVERY time I do the smallest change or something to my phone or bill, I get a ridiculous amount of charges that I was NOT aware of, nor told about... EVEN IF I ask "So this isn't going to change my bill, or there will not be any unexpected/unexplained charges that I don't know about?"... BUT not matter how many times I ask... and NO matter how many times I am told "no"... there always is. For example.... last year, I updated and signed a new 2 year contract and purchased the first Driod. Before, my 30 day warranty was up, I was having problems with my Driod, and decided to send it in and get a new one. Before I did this.. I called customer service to make sure there would be no interuption in my bill, and there wouldn't be any unexpect charges, and there would be no difference in anything. I was told there was not, and once I recieved my new phone, just send it in and nothing would be changed. Of course, when I get my bill.. I see I was charged $500 for the new phone. It was explained to me that my credit card was reimbursed (which I never check that card, because I never used it expect to purchase the phone) and that I was recharged for the new phone, since it was a new phone. So I had to fork out the $500 (on top of my bill) and then wait months to get the $100 rebate card. Months after that, I "assumed liablity of my line" because I was on a plan with my family. I decided to have my own line, so I "assumed liability." I was not told that when I did that, I "renewed" my contract date. So I just added 6 more months to my 2 year contract. Was NOT told about that! Then again...... I was recently having problems with my Driod (the screen went black and would not come back on.) I had to turn on an OLD motorola razor, so I would not be without a phone for two days while I was waiting on my phone to come in. As soon as my phone came in, I had my Droid turned back on. I recieved my bill recently, and my bill was $200 over what it normally should be.... so I called in... apparently, when I had my phone replaced, they dropped off my data package and when I recieved my replacement driod, they never put it back on. So I was being charged for alllll my data usage... again I was NOT told about this. I wasn't even aware that they had dropped off my data package, and when/where did they get the authority to do that??? These are just a FEW of the problems that I have had.................................
Does anyone have these reoccuring problems!?

I understand that my bill can be viewed online, and I do view it fairly regularly, so if there are any unexplained charges, I can call Verizon asap. The problem does not come from me not understanding my bill, but from customer service. I have been with Verizon for a very long time, and it is a continuing problem. Where did Verizon get the 'OK' to drop my data package off my plan? Who authorized that?
After calling Verizon and trying to find out the problem, the gentleman told me that when I activated on old phone while I was waiting on my new Droid to arrive, my data package was dropped off and I "should" have been told about that. When I reactiviated my new Droid, I "should" have called and had them restart my data package. I was not aware that when you activate an old phone that data plan is taken off your plan. In all my years of having cell phones, I never make two years with one phone. I have always, at one point, had to turn on an old phone, and my data package has NEVER changed. Why would I have my data package dropped and why would I have to call Verizon to have it restarted. I would never know to do that unless I was TOLD that my data packaged HAD to be re-added when I recieved my new phone, but I was never told of that.
All of that is beside the point, the point is, Verizon was never given the authorization to change my plan. Never. My bill was taken care of and readjusted, and I am thankful for that. It does not change the fact it is always a hassle with Verizon Customer Service and I am always the one having to PROVE that I am not at fault, or that I was NEVER told of certian things. EVERY TIME I HAVE CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE, I AM TOLD "I'M SORRY, THEY SHOULD HAVE TOLD YOU THAT."
"they should" does not help my bill with the extra armount of charges.

Problems with dropped calls and no reception on Samsung Continuum

My mother and I both purchased a Samsung Continuum in late March 2011, and have experienced the same problems with the phone. The device drops at least 2-3 calls per day, often on the same conversation; we have not found that location or time of day makes a difference. The phone freezes up frequently, even if no apps are running in the background. We lose our 3G network reception frequently, and cannot access our texts, emails, or the internet. The screen saver kicks in even when we are actively dialing a number, or typing in a text message. The overall performance of the phone is also poor, and it is quite slow much of the time.
We have raised this issue several times with a representative at one of the Verizon stores, but he states that he can find no problem with the phone, and that these issues may not be covered under our insurance plan. None of my friends with non-Samsung phones are having the same problems with phone reception and performance. I am aggravated enough with these issues that I am considering reactivating my old Blackberry, which worked like a charm.
I am not upset that my phone has not been updated to Android 2.2. I just want the phone to perform as stated, and not fail at its primary function: making and receiving phone calls. I am not certain if these problems originate with the phone, Verizon, or Samsung, nor do I care. I just want to resolve these issues as soon as possible, or I will have to look at other alternatives.
Thank you.

If this doesn't work...now what??? I have a useless $400 plus piece of unreliable junk. My Motorola Razor was ions more reliable than this phone...very, very sad but true.
What carrier were you using with the Razor? AT&T? Same area?
