Problems with OS X 10.8.3 ? Solutions ?

Since I've done the upgrade to Mac OS X 10.8.3 my Mac has some problems and I would like to know If somebody else has my same problems and how to solve them. First of all, "Mission Control" seems to work slower, I mean it works, but when I "activate" Mission Control it works intermittently. Generally my Mac seems to be slower. I've tried to reinstall the operating system, but I haven't noticed improvements.
The operating temperature of my Mac now is on 60 degrees, before it was on 45-50 degrees.

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Otherwise, take the steps below when you notice the slowdown.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
Step 2
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

Problem with the Sevice Desk VAR to Solution Manager 7.1

Hello Gurus,
I have a problem with the Sevice Desk VAR to Solution Manager 7.1,
When I want to send a message to SAP I can't see the text "Send messange to SAP", in the Actions to Message only I can see "Send Notification to SAP" but I can't see the message in the Marketplace when I click on this Action. In the tab "Action Log" show me two error messages:
1.- "Find support team responsible, when message is created", when I click on Detail the log shows "Message Text
Error in resolution of rule 'AC13200137' for step '1' ".
2.- "Create/Change Basis Message from CRM Procedure", when I click on Detail the logs shows "For object DNO_NOTIF , number range interval 01 does not exist DNO_NOTIF".
I think that this is the reason why didn´t appear the options of Actions to Messages.
Pleas any idea about how to fix this issue?
Best Regards

Dear Mateus,
happy New Year and thank you for your suggestion,
I follow the recomendation of Vicent Lim.
I createad a new message from WorkCenter "Incident Management" on Solman, it was create with solman_admin user which have this roles " ZSAP_SMWORK_BASIC, ZSAP_SMWORK_INCIDENT_MAN, ZSAP_SUPPCF_CREATE, ZSAP_SUPPCF_PROCESS, ZSAP_SUPPDESK_CREATE,ZSAP_SUPPDESK_PROCESS", and I want to sent to SAP with the message processor(ogarcia) user(with role "employee") with the following roles " ZSAP_SMWORK_BASIC, ZSAP_SMWORK_INCIDENT_MAN, ZSAP_SUPPCF_CREATE, ZSAP_SUPPCF_PROCESS, ZSAP_SUPPDESK_CREATE,ZSAP_SUPPDESK_PROCESS" but I can't see the text "Send message to SAP".
Also I re-active the BC-Set from IMG and I checked in the transaction SCPR20 and I get two error messages:
1.- Activation of customizing object cRMC_TV_PROCTYPE with errors.
2.- BC Set SOLMAN40_SDESK_VAR_SIVA: The activation of customizing object CRMC_TV_PROCTYPE is not supported).
I believe that I need one note o maybe a support package that fixes this bug since that version
of Solman is 7.1 SP3.
Please could you help me with this?,

Old problem with precision time counting and /usepmtimer solution.

Hello, all!
There was a problem in Windows XP and 2003 Server with using QueryPerformanceCouner() function. Sometimes it can cause problem with precision time measurements on CPUs which support powersaving modes by changing clock frequency. The simplest solution for that was /usepmtimer key in boot.ini file which forces the system to use another timer.
I just want to know does this problem appear in Windoes 7? And how to solve it since there is no boot.ini file in Windows 7?
Thanks a lot!
P.S. This is a page with detailed description of the problem:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/895980

Hi ,
There is official documentation released on userpmtimer for windows 7 operating system.
Also the KB article only refere to the OS which have performance problem.
After reading the below article , i feel that this problem is taken care in windows 7 / windows 2008 ( though there is no formal written documentation )
http://blogs.technet.com/perfguru/archive/2008/02/18/explanation-for-the-usepmtimer-switch-in-the-boot-ini.aspx
you can post in windows 7 dedicated forum, so that MVP / Microsoft Engineers and community members would suggest you with latest data if any.

Problem with Video Capture, and question towards solution

Yesterday I worked on a commercial for which we captured 9 clips (roughly 10 seconds or shorter in length). The clips all had text/titles superimposed on them by an outside machine and looked good in the monitors when they were exported and captured into FCP (ie: none of the text was chopped off).
I edited the commercial and then was exporting it out, only to discover that the text on the bottom of the clips was getting chopped off.
My first question is this: is there some setting in the capture process that could have done this? something that might have gotten tweaked accidently, or corrupted in some manner? Didn't have this problem with footage captured the previous day. And since it looked good before it was put into FCP, thinking it had to be a problem with FCP.
Also, in trying to tweak the footage in FCP, I came across a 'there must be an easier way to do it' question. Is there a way to alter parameters on multiple clips (such as raising them, like I had to)? I tried selecting all and double clicking, hoping that the changes I made would affect them all, but it only affected the one I directly clicked. I'm sure there's something simple (and obvious) that I'm overlooking...
thanks!

For how and why this could have happened, would you mind sharing your capture and sequence settings?
As far as applying parameters to multiple clips, I think you can make use of the Paste Attributes function in FCP...
Alter one of your problematic clips
Select that clip in the Timeline, then press Command-C (or control-click and choose Copy from the contextual menu)
Select the remainder of your problematic clips
With your clips selected press Option-V (or control-click on one of them and select Paste Attributes from the contextual menu) to bring up the Paste Attributes dialog
Select Basic Motion - under the Video options, on your left-hand side - then click OK
(Basic Motion because, if I understand your solution correctly, you altered the Center property - either in the Motion tab of the Viewer or manually in the Canvas - of your clips. You nudged them all up a bit, right? If you did, then that would fall under the Basic Motion attribute.)
All your selected clips should be nudged up appropriately.
But, again, I'm making a bit of leap since I'm not entirely sure what caused your issue in the first place.

BSOD problems with MSI Z77A-GD80. Possible solution - enabling XMP?

Hello all,
I have problems with BSOD. When I play game "TrackMania2 Canyon" after some time (usually 15-30 minutes) BSOD shows with these bugcheck codes: 0x4E (0x99, 0x219CD3, 0x1, 0x1620D3).
When I using other applicatons (MS Word 2010, Visual Studio 2010, AIMP3, Gom Player, Chrome, WaterFox) there is no BSOD. Also, I tried to play game "Trackmania United Forever" (older game than "TrackMania2 Canyon") and everithig is fine (no BSOD).

Enable XMP in the bios and put the modules in the black memory slots.
That should work.
I've been using Corsair modules on several mainboards for some time now without issues.
I want to try enabling XMP for my RAM (it is supported by my RAM modules) to try to solve that BSOD. What I need to do? Does it only possible in OC mode or I can enable XMP in Eco or Standard mode? I do not want overclock RAM with XMP, just to set it on 1600 MHz via XMP.
I do not have any OC experinece (just teoreticaly). The best solution for me will be to enable XMP in Eco or Standard mode. If XMP only possible in OC mode I want other OC values to set like in standard mode.
I tested over 5 hours all 4 RAM modules in the same time with MemTest86+ with 3 passes without any errors.
BTW, when I logged into my Windows account, what is the most easiest way to determine in what mode Z77A-GD80 is (Eco, Standard or OC)?

You see, the problem is the bandwidth.
Your cpu's memory controller as stated by Intel:
Max Memory Bandwidth 25.6 GB/s (if it devide by 1000, and 25 GB/s if it devide by 1024)
DDR 1600 memory has a peak bandwidth of 12800 mb/sec, if you multiply it out then divide by 1024 you get 50 GB/sec. This is why it is hard to oc memory, it isn't the memory, it's the memory controller. Even with 1333 it is over 41 gb/sec, which why it is sometimes nessesary to overvolt the memory and or memory controller / increase the latency to run at all!.
A BETTER and more exact reason for this can be found here although it is based on DDR2. http://www.overclock.net/t/193449/memory-dividers-latencies-and-bandwidth-explained
I don't know how did you calculate 50GB/s peak bandwidth of DDR3 dual channel 4 X 4GB 1600MHz but it seems too much.
According to my calculations it is 2 X 8 X 1600 / 1024 = 25 GB/s (2 is for dual channel), witch is the value that memory controler for Intel i7-3770K was natively made for (Intel i7-3770K Memory Types: DDR3-1333/1600).
Here is specifications for Intel i7-3770K:
http://ark.intel.com/products/65523/Intel-Core-i7-3770K-Processor-(8M-Cache-up-to-3_90-GHz)
I don't think that 2 kits (2 X 4GB) od DDR3 will increse bandwidth double to 2 X 25 = 50GB/s.
Here is my AIDA64's Cache & Memory Benchmark (12.5% less than theoretical maximum for DDR3 1333MHz dual channel):

Problem with Back and Next Buttons: a solution?

Hello,
It is well known that including the Back and/or Next buttons in Captivate quiz questions presents real problems. I have come up with what I think to be a solution. It should allow one to include both Back and Next buttons, if one wants to do this. It involves doing the following:
With Question 1, do not include a Back button. (This is so that the quiz-taker cannot get out of the quiz scope in the forward direction.)
Create this advanced action: If cpQuizInfoTotalUnansweredQuestions = 0, then Go To The Next Slide (i.e. the results slide); Else Continue.
Insert a slide after the final question (and before the results slide). On this slide, include the following:
A message to this effect: ‘You have not answered all of the questions. Please go back and complete all of them.’
A button labeled ‘Return to Questions’ (on success: Jump to slide with Question 1). But include no other buttons. That is, if the quiz-takers lands up on this slide, he or she has only this option.
On Enter (i.e. on entering the slide being described here), Execute Advanced Action = the advanced action described in Item 2 above.
Now for something odd. Before the slide described in Item 3, insert a slide with a Text Caption with variable $$cpQuizInfoTotalUnansweredQuestions$$. Keep the slide as brief as possible (something like 0.5 sec.) and make the text of the Text Caption invisible. And why all this? Because I found that, without it, problems arose quite regularly. If one or more questions were not answered, the quiz-taker would come, as expected, to the slide described in Item 3 above. The quiz-taker would then go back to complete the unanswered questions. But then—sometimes—the Item 3 slide would still appear, even though all the questions were answered! The quiz-taker would return once again to the questions (since this is the only option available), only to find that now none of the questions were answered! And at this point, there was no escape: the Item 3 slide would always appear no matter what one did. Why should inserting the additional slide described in the present item solve the problem? I don’t know. All I can say is that (1) without it, the problem arises often (though not always), and (2) with it, the problem hasn’t occurred yet, even though I’ve done lots of testing.
Final note. It will be clear that this solution is meant to be used together with the option Allow Backward Movement. Will the solution work with Branch Aware? I don’t know yet. Will it work with Question Pools? Again, I don’t know yet. I’ve only done a bit of testing in both cases. The results thus far indicate that at least one of these options presents real problems. Both might.
I’m still testing this solution (or what I hope is a solution). If anyone else wants to try it, I’d be interested in hearing how it goes.
Best regards,
Marvin DuBois

Dear Lilybiri,
Thank you for your response.
1. 'I don't get it why you don't use the Submit All option?'
Submit All is fine in some cases. But it limits the options: the quiz-taker does not get immediate (question-by-question) feedback. So where immediate feedback is wanted, the Submit All option presents problems.
2. "Why do you need a Back button . . . ?'
a. The Back button is needed during Review. Otherwise, the quiz-taker can only review in one direction.
b. In some quizzes, the quiz-taker should be free to go back, whether to check earlier question slides (since the questions and/or responses can be relevant for the current question) or to re-read/re-hear information slides inserted between question slides.
But the more general issue is this. The Cp Back and Next buttons provide us with possibilities, with further options. Workarounds are available, such as not allowing backward movement and placing a Clear button over Next. But these workarounds limit the possiblities, i.e. the possibilities that are there—i.e. that Adobe puts there. It's not that we always need these possibliities. But neither should we be hindered from using them if we so choose—and especially when we would be hindered simply because Cp doesn't work as well as it should.
Kind regards,
Marvin

Airport problem with 10.4.8 update: a solution

I have MacBook Pro, which communicates with a Zyxel G-570S access point. I had been experiencing bandwidth restrictions under 10.4.7 and I hoped that 10.4.8 would solve this.
Unfortunately, when I installed 10.4.8 it made the bandwidth problems worse, and the link became unusable.
In other topics I read about people solving the problem by removing Coconut. I had already stopped using Coconut, so that wasn't it. But it made me think, and I stopped iStumbler.
Lo and behold, my wireless link now works perfectly again.

Large file problems with an external FAT32 formatted drive (solutions???)

I have an external hard drive that was from my PC and formatted as NTFS so it was read only on my Mac. I formatted it to FAT32 so that I could read/write to it from both my Mac and PC.
Now, because it is formatted FAT32, I can only have a 4GB max file which has proved to be a pain to me. Is there not a format that satisfies both platform with unrestricted file sizes?
Thanks in advance.

Well, the answer is: not easily.
NTFS, EXT2, and Mac HFS can all be read and written by Windows, Mac OS X and Linux, with appropriate software. You should probably settle on what you are going to use most, and use that as your preferred filesystem.
For example, if you were going to use the Mac mostly to deal with the disk, format the disk using HFS+. On Windows, buy MacDrive and install it to read/write the Mac-format disk. If you are going to use Windows most of the time, then install MacFUSE and NTFS-3g on your Mac (http://code.google.com/p/macfuse/). et cetera.
There's nothing in the way of a really good cross-platform filesystem. ZFS may eventually become that (one might hope), but that's still not quite there.

Problem with focus and selecting text in jtextfield

I have problem with jtexfield. I know that solution will be very simple but I can't figure it out.
This is simplified version of situation:
I have a jframe, jtextfield and jbutton. User can put numbers (0-10000) separated with commas to textfield and save those numbers by pressing jbutton.
When jbutton is pressed I have a validator which checks that jtextfield contains only numbers and commas. If validator sees that there are invalid characters, a messagebox is launched which tells to user whats wrong.
Now comes the tricky part.
When user presses ok from messagebox, jtextfield should select the character which validator said was invalid so that user can replace it by pressing a number or comma.
I have the invalid character, but how can you get the focus to jtextfield and select only the character which was invalid?
I tried requestFocus(), but it selected whole text in jtextfield and after that command I couldn't set selected text. I tried with commands setSelectionStart(int), setSelectionEnd(int) and select(int,int).
Then I tried to use Caret and select text with that. It selected the character I wanted, but the focus wasn't really there because it didn't have keyFocus (or something like that).
Is there a simple way of doing this?

textField.requestFocusInWindow();
textField.select(...);The above should work, although read the API on the select(...) method for the newer recommended approach on how to do selection.
If you need further help then you need to create a "Short, Self Contained, Compilable and Executable, Example Program (SSCCE)",
see http://homepage1.nifty.com/algafield/sscce.html,
that demonstrates the incorrect behaviour, because I can't guess exactly what you are doing based on the information provided.
Don't forget to use the "Code Formatting Tags",
see http://forum.java.sun.com/help.jspa?sec=formatting,
so the posted code retains its original formatting.

Problems with "File Open" and "File Save As" in Tiger

I recently upgraded to OS10.4.3 on my PowerBook G4 and ever since I have had only frustration upon frustration with this new version.
When launching a program whether it be QuarkXpress 6.5, Illustrator CS, Photoshop CS, InDesign CS or Acrobat 6.0 and you go "File Open", it can take up to 3 minutes before the "Open" window dialog box will appear so that you can access your files. The same applies to the first "File Save As" in any of these programs. After that everything works normally.
Has anyone experienced this problem with Tiger and is there a solution? I should be most grateful for any assistance.
Leon
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

I got so frustrated with iDisk that I did indeed turn mine off altogether. Now I just mount it when I need it, and do whatever I want to do manually. And it is STILL annoyingly slow, not only in its own operations, but in the way it hijacks the Finder and can sometimes bring all Finder operations to a grinding halt.
I keep a local copy of the all the files I have on my iDisk in a perfectly normal folder. And I keep looking forward to the day when the promised seamless operation of my local files and iDisk will actually work.
I've been waiting for several years and thru several different incarnations of the OS, and it ain't there yet. I think Apple's version of WebDAV is just really really bad. I've heard other WebDAV servers work better. And I figured it was a bad sign when, back in Panther, one of Apple's own helpers recommended a third party WebDAV software (Goliath) to access the servers rather than using the Finder. I didn't think things could get any worse--until Tiger came along. A bad situation can get worse, and it did.
Maybe when Leopard gets here.....

Problem with SQL,udfs & procedures

I have couple of problems with my database. Please suggest solution.
We are basically a web product With a Quite large Database
1. I am using functions both User Defined and Built in Functions in
SQL Statement. I want to optimize the query how do i do it.
why the usage of function in sql statements suppresses,the
usage of indexes internally. How to forceable make use of
the index even though function is used.
2. Whenver The Client makes a request to the Database server with a
Sql Query What are the steps we can take at the
client side to enhance the performance of the Query.
(i.e the Data Request ). How to optimize the usage of CPU at
client site?
3. what is the increase in the performance ration by having
separate table spaces for user data,system data and indexes.
4. Why the procedures are getting invalided
after some time. The procedure is
not getting executed at the front end.
Once the procedure is getting invalidated.
However even though the status of the
procedure is invalid the same is getting
executed at the back end.
Can anybody help me
Request for reply ASAP.
Regards

1. In Oracle 8i, one can create function-based indexes, where instead of indexing a column, one can index upper() of that column.
2. Optimizing client performance is trickier. One can tune the queries being
submitted by the client, but if getting the first row back -- which is how response time is generally perceived -- set the OPTIMIZER_MODE parameter in init.ora to FIRST_ROWS.
3. There is minimal benefit to having data, index, rollback, and temp tablespaces all separated unless all the datafiles for each tablespace reside on different disks (data on disk 1, index on disk 2, etc). It's recommended regardless, but unless the files are on separate volumes, there won't be a great performance benefit.
4. A procedure is invalidated whenever DDL is issued against any object that that procedure depends upon. For example, if you add a column to a table, any procedures which reference that table will be invalidated. Any procedures which reference views which reference that table will be invalidated, because the view will be invalidated. It's best to run a compile script which looks for and attempts to recompile any invalid objects on a daily basis.
