Puzzling panther behavior -- aps launch only when others are open

Hello Appleheads ~
I complained a while back about a software update from apple which blocked itunes and Final Cut Pro from launching in 10.3.9. No solution was found.
Now I have found that when I launch Protools 6.4.1 first, I am able to launch and use itunes and FCP. I don't know why they work when I launch protools first, but I cannot launch them without opening PT first. Strange behavior, but I can live with it.
Any advice appreciated, however I am inclined not to touch my system -- as long as it behaves this way -- until I can clone my Mac HD.
thanks people

Hello Rick,
Through all the research I have done so far and talking with a few other coworkers what the common issues that cause this are is:
1. Antivirus: disabling the antivirus is not good enough it needs to be totaly uninstalled and retested.
2. startup programs: these need to be disabled through either Safe mode with networking or the start menu or MSconfig.
3. Office addins: Disable all of them see if that helps. Then turn them back on one by one to see which addin is causing the issue.
To disable addins: 1. open up regedit and navigate to this key. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Word\Addins and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Word\Addins
Then change the LoadBehavior to 0 this will disable the addin. 3 lets it run. Since this affected only one user HKEY_LOCAL_USER might be your best bet but don't rule out the other location.
To verify there are no addins running go to the File tab>options>Add-Ins make sure nothing is listed under Active Application Add-ins.
I hope this helps
Thanks,

  • In Win 7 on Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000's quick-launch keys, Firefox & Thunderbird launch only in Taskbar, without opening program, then unfocused

    Although these quick-launch keys on this keyboard worked fine on this computer when running Windows XP, when I switched to Windows 7 64-bit they started to have this problem, but only with Firefox & Thunderbird. And if I program these keys to open other programs, they don't have the problem. So it's some compatibility thing between Firefox/Thunderbird, Win7 64-bit, and this keyboard's software (latest version).
    When I press one of the quick-launch keys on this keyboard programmed for Firefox/Thunderbird, they display a program rectangle in the Taskbar only, but no program opens on the screen. When I hover the mouse over this rectangle on the Taskbar, the program immediately opens, but out of focus.
    I've also tried resetting Firefox, but that doesn't change the behavior at all.

    The window that is focused is whatever the previous one opened was. If Firefox or Thunderbird are launched with no other windows open, nothing is focused.
    After working with Microsoft's tech support on this problem over the phone, and replacing the keyboard driver & software with the one called Microsoft Mouse & Keyboard (both this and the one I had used are shown as the current drivers on Microsoft's 4000 Keyboard download page), nothing changed. Then I worked on the computer for a while, and the problem suddenly went away.
    The only remaining problem is that Thunderbird doesn't search for mail right away when I open it. This is true regardless of how I open it (from the keyboard quick launch key, from the start menu, from a shortcut, etc.). Perhaps this is a totally different problem.
    Thanks for your help.

              This means that the transaction initiator has not received replies for some of
              the transactional requests when the transaction commits, i.e. the checked transaction
              behavior is violated. WLS TM enforces checked transaction behavior to make sure
              that all work done in the transaction context will be completed before transaction
              is committed. If it cannot make such guarantee due to outstanding replies, it
              aborts the commit right away.
              Currently, there is no provisions for dumping the requests whose replies are still
              pending.

  • Condition type has to executed only when other condition type is availabl

    Scenario:  We have two freight condition types YHD1 & YHD6. This YHD6 condition type is a Percentage type calculation and dependent of YHD1 value, for example
    YHD1: 30 EUR then the condition value is 30 EUR
    YHD6: 10 % then the condition value is 3 EUR
    Issue: YHD6 is fetched from Condition records at the time of delivery document, where as YHD1 condition type is inserted into the delivery document through a BDC program in a custom program. BDC program is written in such a way that YHD1 condition record is applied on the first line. This custom program is supposed to execute only after PGI is done for delivery and shipment is created.
    Since, YHD6 is fetched from Condition records; this condition is applied when the delivery document is created. And when this custom program is executed, system is looking to insert YHD1 condition on first line, but YHD6 is already exists this step is unsuccessful.
    Requirement: is it possible to determine YHD6 condition only when YHD1 is available in the document. I mean, YHD1 condition type has to be executed first and then YHD6.

    Hi All,
    Thanks for repling to my query.
    I will explore the opition of developing a Routine to restrict YHD6 condition type. But i have one doubt, suppose i have assigned a routine to YHD6 condition type and when delivery document is created, system fetches the YHD6 condition from the condition record, but due to this routine it will restrict to update the value.
    But when i update the delivery document with YHD1 condtion through custom program, NOW, does the system calls YHD6 again so that now the requirement is fullfilled or do i need to update the Pricing again after YHD1..
    I kindly reqeust you to clarify my doubt, however, i will take up this with my ABAPer and develop a routine.
    Thanks in advance.
    Warm Regards,
    Sridahr

  • Ghost clip appears in canvas only when other clips are placed in its place

    Gd afternoon, this may sound crazy but here we go. the space on the timeline is blank, and when the sequence is played the blank section shows nothing but black screen. however when i drop any clip in the empty space on the timeline an old clip I changed the speed of shows over whatever clip i just dropped in the empty spot. Again, when the spot is empty nothing shows, only when a different clip is placed in that spot does the "ghost" clip appear over the new clip and the space that the ghost clip holds shows a blue rendered line for the speed that was changed.
    How do I get rid of this ghost clip?

    +thanks, i tried to delete the rendered clip but no help+
    No, what is required when the problem reaches the stage you described is to delete ALL of the render files for that sequence. One way to do that is to go to Tools > Render Manager and navigate to the problem sequence and clicking in the Remove column for that sequence. Then click OK.
    That will delete all of the render files for the sequence. Then you re-render. This sometimes works, as I said.

  • In L/R 3, is there a way to import JPEG's only when you are shooting RAW + JPEG?

    In LR3 is there a way to import JPEG's only when I am shooting RAW + JPEG -- say in the case of being on-location and I want to create a quick slideshow without importing the large, slow RAW images?  (Shooting only in JPEG is not an option -- wedding photography.)

    The answer in short is no....but...if you separate your images before import then they will be imported as desired. You could import to LR and rename or resort or put in quick collection and separate jpeg from RAW and then put them into a separate folder. As an aside, shooting jpeg +RAW seems duplicitous since LR "sees" both formats.  To my mind...I work as a professional retoucher...just shoot RAW since it is just as fast as jpeg in capturing images, and you have the freedom to adjust the images uncompressed.  Then import the images as RAW into LR...if you truly need jpeg for something like sending to a client, simplt export them as jpegs via the Export dialog. Your original RAW images are unaffected!

  • FF hangs, does not launch ,hangs when new tab opened.

    FF hangs when launched and when new tab is opened , same is the case when launched in safe mode ,I have reinstalled the browser but the issue persisits.
    EDIT: Found a folder on my desktop "old firefox data"

    Previous versions of Firefox used to cause web pages to hang, freezing everything. Firefox 15.0.1 has gone one step further /
    It hangs immediately, as soon as the welcome message ( and the picture showing a kind of crop circle) appears.
    This means having to Force quit... I have done just that ( and relaunched ) three times, without success. I've also trashed FF and reinstalled it three times. No joy.
    There may be a "fix" of some sort, but it shouldn't be necessary : Safari, Chrome, Opera, Camino, and SeaMonkey work fine "straight out of the box". So why not Firefox?
    Besides, a "fix" would be impossible since I'd have to launch FF to apply it, and as I said, it hangs/freezes immediately.
    I'm using a Mac, system 10.6.8.

  • Syndication only when records are updated, but ONLY for selected fields

    again with one of my : it's that even possible at all ?
    the case, we have a customer repository where, among other things we add some extra info (classification ABC and similar mainly) to a small percentage of them (around 5 - 10 %)
    and we would like to distribute only those changes, changes in few fields
    of course we load plenty of fields from R3 and other systems, and also we modify records to assign the customers to different business organization that have to look after, this assignments change also very often (it can affect to 30 to 40 % of the customers). All this data does not need to be distributed.
    so in figures (as example to easier understand), weekly base :
    _ 250.000 _ aprox records in MDM
    _ __ 1.000 _ new records every week from source systems
    _ __ 8.000 _ updated records every week from source systems
    _ ______________(yes, big number, some marketing attributes and soft stuff they like to see in MDM)
    _ ____ 100 _ aprox are "enhanced" with data we need to distribute
    _ __ 50.000 _ aprox records are re-assigned or reclassify with data we do NOT need to distribute
    _ ______________(mostly done with assignments and so on that keep changing every week)
    so, even selecting "suppress unchanged records", MDM keeps distributing like 60.000 records, when we only need those 100.
    is any direct way to make this ??
    as a work-around, I have think into a workflow that in a way flags a new field (to_be_distributed) always and only when a user change one of this specific fields. And then filter the distribution for only this field = True. And another workflow that set the mention field to False, just after the distribution is done.
    Crazy idea ??, anything better ??
    (we are in MDM 5.5, if the solution require 7.0, migration plans are in the horizon)
    thanks in advance, everybody

    Hi,
           We had the same scenario where in we have to Syndicate only certain Fields to Legacy...As per your scenario add classification data to your Existing Customer repository. Next steps is to create a map for the classifications data...You write your own conditions in FreeForm search of MDM Syndication. Whenever certain conditions are satisfied, MDM system will syndicate. 
    Next - Option - If you are implementing work flow then create a extra field called Syndicate_Legacy. Syndicate_Legacy should be Flat LookUps .Values should be Syndicate,No Syndicate.  Before end of the WF, you should have  a assignment step. By using assignment change the value to Syndicate or Not syndicate. For this , along with map you should also write a condition in Free form search in syndicator stating that only if Field(Syndicate_Legacy) = Value(Syndicate). I believe these should solve your issue...If not please let me know...
    Thanks
