Program starts off great... then slows to a hault

Does anyone else have this issue? Could it be a Memory Leak?

From your private message on the same topic you mentioned this is occurring 5-10 minutes after launch. That would be quite fast for a memory leak to be large enough to severely impact performance. It's more likely there's something specifically triggering the poor performance that relates to the specific .muse files you're working on and/or the specific actions your taking, or attempting to take.
Can you provide a bit more info about the sites you have open when this occurs and what your last few actions were prior to the slow down? Are you using Mac or Windows? What OS version?
Regarding your question about Host Directory, the File > Upload to FTP Host... workflow now has two dialogs. The first requests the FTP login credentials. Once you're logged in, the second lets you set the Host Directory. Once you've saved you're login credentials for a site you only ever see the second dialog. ("Host Directory" has been renamed "Folder".)

Time machine starts well, and then slow as cold molasses

Hi All,
I've scoured the net for clues, but no love.
I've set up a new external drive for TimeMachine. I created a single partition with Disk Utility, formatted as HFS+ and told TM to use it for backups.
Clicked go. Yay! Lots of data cruising along and after a short while 40GB of the 90GB backup is copied over.
And then it stops... almost. Now it copies new data over at about 1mb per minute. Checked "top" and very little activity going on. Checked console and it reports no failures of backupd and in fact backupd uses a bit of CPU time every minute or so.
In the last hour, about 80mb of data has been copied. I've opened the backup package file and am watching as each new file is copied over.
I've shut everything down more than once and restarted. When I tell it to back up, it knows where it left off... does a lot of disk churning and then begins it's crawling copy again.

Thanks for the replies. I've read about how it starts slow and later gets into a groove and picks up, but mine starts fast and flies along nicely and then grinds to a halt. I can open the package file and watch as a new file (say a 5mb video clip) gets backed up every minute or so.
During the slow time, I can copy large files onto the drive quickly and easily, so it's not the drive, or the usb connection.
Can TM go from fast to slow and back to fast? I guess I'll let it run overnight and report my results...

Hard disk starts to run then slows entire system down

My MacBook ran fine until I installed Aperture. Since then, it runs OK for a while, then suddenly will stop operating anywhere from 30 seconds to 5 minutes. The little colored pinwheel will appear and start to run. Sometimes it needs a complete hard reset to begin operating again. During these times, the hard disk runs continuously, and battery consumption increases.
I have totally removed Aperture (using AppZapper) and re-installed several times, all to no avail. At this point the MacBook is unusable as the lockups occur frequently. It seems to be cumulative, it runs OK for longer periods after a reboot and the longer it runs the worse it gets.
While in the locked up state, I can't run any utilities to see what's going on that is causing this problem. I have noticed that the SyncServer (whatever that is) uses a lot of CPU time when the MacBook is operational (ie not locked up).
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi
I don't have a definite solution, just a couple of suggestions:
1. Try clearing out all cache files using a utility like Onyx or Leopard Cache cleaner (Google will find them). While you're at it, repair disk permissions, too.
2. If that doesn't help, then try re-installing Leopard using the Archive and Install option. Make sure all your files are backed up first, just in case of snafus...

Help ..my macbook pro late 2013, will not turn on..charger starts off green then immediately is out....it worked fine 2 days ago????

i have had a good experience with my macbook for a few years, when i downloaded osx, too many hanging issues, and now the battery, or charger will not work, no power ..just cannot get it to turn on

if you can borrow a charger from a friend, or go to the apple store and use a charger there; if it works then your charger is bad. If they also don't work then maybe your battery needs replacing.

How much free disk space do you have and how much memory do you have, running which operating system? Need that information to have any basis to make recommendations.

If you keep getting a 'red' message it means that the HDD is faulty and will have to be replaced. You will have to format the new HDD in Disk Utility>Erase and then install the OSX and your data from Time Machine.
Ciao.

Rick, Have you had any success with this? I'm also trying to run the tfs_VssUpgrade.exe tool on my Windows 8.1 machine and getting the same exception. Greatly appreciate any insight if you were able to get past this issue! Thanks, Steve
Same issue here.
This MS connect thread
is interesting however.

Hello Alxandr,
Thank you for taking the time to submit this issue to Connect. This is a known issue with Windows 8.1 RTM and it will be addressed in a future update of Windows 8.1. In the meantime, you can typically rename the EXE to get it to work correctly.

Program start-up slow under JWM

I'm running JWM on my home computer owing to its lightness and configurability, and because I was able to configure it to look like gnome2--which I'd managed to get my wife to use--which is a less intimidating interface to certain members of my household. It's working ok, though it's not nearly as snappy as I'd expect it to be on this machine (which is a bit dated now, though with plenty of oomph for this lightweight desktop [early dual core, 2GB RAM]). Terminals and pcmanfm open fairly quickly--somewhere around 1 second or a bit less. I'd expect it to be closer to instantaneous, though.
But when it comes to more substantial applications like firefox, chromium--even midori--or lowriter, the lag gets really noticeable. It takes something like 7 seconds for an application like midori or chromium to open after I've clicked on the respective icon. This is, of course, not a show-stopper: I can use the computer fine, despite the delays I'm seeing. But it does make me wonder whether something's misconfigured on this system.
I recently did a long-overdue pacman -Syu on this system, so it's now using systemd. I also decided during that process that I wanted to get rid of the login manager (slim) to lighten things up a bit further. So I set the system up to log me in automatically, then boot to the GUI (using instructions found at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/St … h_profile).
I guess my .xinitrc file could be relevant, so I'll post its content below:
#!/bin/sh
# ~/.xinitrc
# based on /etc/skel/.xinitrc as wiki says
# Executed by startx (run your window manager from here)
[[ -f ~/.Xresources ]] && xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources
if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ]; then
for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/*; do
[ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
done
unset f
fi
xmobar &
exec /usr/bin/jwm
# exec ck-launch-session /usr/bin/jwm
Anything look out of whack there? The final, commented line was entered from the Arch wiki entry for JWM, which appears quite out of date now, since consolekit seems to be deprecated. So I commented out that line. Can anyone spot any problems with this file?
Also, I recently started Chromium from a terminal to see if it would output any error messages that could help me track down why I'm seeing these delays in program start-up. Following is what was output:
Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/50-user.conf", line 9: reading configurations from ~/.fonts.conf is deprecated.

/org/chromium/Mtpd: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.chromium.Mtpd was not provided by any .service files
I think I understand about the fontconfig error and how to fix that. But the freedesktop.DBus stuff is not very comprehensible to me. Could that relate in some way to the unusual delays I'm seeing in program start-up?
Input will be appreciated.
Thanks,
James

My iphone 4s shuts itself off all the time. starts normal and then shut it off and start all over again, what is wrong?

Your iPHone is designed by intention to shut off when there is a reason for the softwarer to believe that danger is immenent to the hardware. This can occurr if the software is running applications that have been corrupted due to all types of different scenarios. My best advice to you would be to restore your device back to default manufactures settings and do NOT restore the current backup of the IOS program currently running.
If this corrects the problem with your device intermittently restarting you will then know you have had applications there were corrupted on your device. Once you are convinced there are no issues with the hardware of your device you then are free to begin downloading software apps that were earlier on the device.
Good luck.

My mac wont turn on. It is charging and the on light is on when the computer is shut but once I open it the light turns off and the screen is black. I turn it off and then on again and the start up noise goes but it is still black - Help!?

Claire, please post your machine specs as requested. There are some variants of the MBP with specific hardware issues. Example: the older "silver key" MBPs with 2.2Ghz and faster processors can have a defective video chipset that produces a black screen or distorted video. That problem is covered under an Apple program that will fix this at no cost to you if you computer is that model.
Do "About this Mac" from your Apple menu and, in the resulting window, click the "More Info..." button. That launches System Profiler for you. The first screen looks like this:
The second line, "Model Identifier" (or "Machine Model" if you are running OS10.4) precisely identifies your MBP variant. Post that, and include it in your equipment info in your profile for future posts. That means people don't have to ask, and you get faster help that is targeted to your specific model. Saves everybody a bunch of keystrokes and you get better advice.

How can i do a factory reset in snow leopard without the disk to start off new without losing my other programs

how can i do a factory reset on snow leopard without the disk to start off new without losing my programs?

You can't. You will need a Snow Leopard disc. You can purchase replacements for your computer from Apple:
Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
To contact product and tech support: Apple - Support - Contact Apple Support.
A "factory reset" means you erase the drive securely. All of your files will be removed permanently. I suggest you make a backup:
Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
1. Open Disk Utility in the Utilities folder.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag
it to the Destination entry field.
5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
the Source entry field.
6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.

Ipod touch screen went black and then started flashing. Then the turn off slide comes up.

Ipod touch screen went black and then started flashing. Then the turn off slide comes up. Restored multiple times and didn't work. Ipod works with Itunes fine (can put music and podcasts on the ipod), but can't take songs off of the ipod. Using windows xp and everything is up to date. Any ideas of how to fix it?

I didn't know that it was posted three times. My computer didn't say that it posted anything.
My ipod still syncs to itunes and I can put podcasts and music on my ipod, but I can't delete songs after I put them on the ipod. When I try to delete songs I try to delete it from the main music list on the ipod. It's also doing all the other stuff that I posted before. The screen will go black and then the power off slider thing shows up for a few seconds, then it'll show the unlock slider bar. Then goes black again. It will also do that when I have the ipod unocked and changing songs or playing a game. I've restored it to the factory default/new ipod and it still does the same thing. I've uninstalled and reinstalled itunes and then restored it again to the factory default and it's still doing the same exact thing. I checked and my computer is up to date.

How do I Initialize a button to be enabled when the program start and if pressed then disable and gray it until a certain action is taken then comeback to the enabled state?

Hi!!!
I'm doing a program with the following buttons: Run, Abort, Repeat and Exit. When the program starts from the first time only Run and Exit button will be enabled and not disabled so the user doesn't press the Abort and Repeat button. The user has to select from a menu bar the test he wants to make then if he presses the Run button a pop up window will come up asking for the serial number and his name, and will comeback to the main program with the entered information. The user now has to press the Run button again to start the test, when the test starts the Abort button now will be enable
d and not disabled, when the test ends the Repeat button will be enabled and disabled. If the user selects new test from the menu bar the whole process will come again. I'm having problems with the menu bar because it has a time-out and when that occurs the program gets crazy. Also I'm not sure about what mechanical action I have to use for the Run. Do I need to count the times the Run button is press so the 2nd time is pressed it will be disabled. Do I need to use a sequential and where I initialize the buttons so the first time they are like I want (Inside or OUtside the while loop that ends with the Exit button) Any help wil be appreciated.

I'm not sure about the menu bar because i've never used them..i tend to go for listboxes instead.
As for the buttons, if you want to wire the button to a local variable then the button must be a switch, otherwise a latch is ok. But remember you will probably need to reset the button at the end of a run (ie. wire a constant through the while loop to the local variable for the switch). To initialize the buttons at the start, wire constants to their locals outside the main execution while loop.
Put the disabling/enabling functions in the parts of the program the button has activated. For example, you say the 2nd time the Run button is pressed you run the 'test', enable the Abort button and want to disable the Run button - put these property nodes into th
e 'test' sequence/loop.
Sequences are useful to control when you want buttons to be modified. I use them if i cant sequence the order of execution any other way. But try and avoid using multiple frames as it can get confusing if you start hiding code.
If you are still having problems, post an example of your program in no higher than LV 6.0.2 and i will try and adapt it for you.
