"really fast" - fast forward ?

Hello !
When listening to audiobooks, one file might have a total playing-time of around 7 hours..
the pre-market steps are around 1,5 hours apart, which still leaves quite a large time gap one has to put behind to reach certain points within the replay..
is there any way to increase the speed to the fastforward or fastbackward "scrolling"..
because this way i have to keep ffw pressed for to 5 minutes to reach a position 60 minutes away..
are thereany functions i have missed ?
thank you

Hallo,
If you press the centre button once, you can scroll with the click wheel to the desired point.
Guten tag, Andrew.

  • 24 hours so far downloading Lion and no end in sight. Is this really the way forward?

    Here in the UK a lot of us have fairly pathetic download speeds, so I ask Apple is this really the way forward?

    Same for me - started 20.July about 7pm in germany with VDSL capable of 2.5MB/s
    Download Started well soon but dropped to about 300KB/s. Stopped and went to bed at about 10pm.
    Resumed at 21. July at 7am - between 100KB/s and 300 KB/s for about 90min. Stopped and got to work.
    Resumed now at about 2:30p.m. lying between 50KB/s and 100KB/s :-(

  • Illustrator, Really? Fast Image Crop

    Hi guys,
    I decided to start this post with "Really?" like a SNL sketch...hehe. I have been using Illustrator for quite a while but i am not expert with it. One feature that really bothers me is that i can't really fast crop an image unless i draw a rectangle on top and then apply a crop mask. Why so many steps? Some might say illustrator is for vector and if you want image and text editing go to Photoshop or InDesign. I don't agree with that. I use it for a fast presentation and friends that just started to use it last week tell me "Why i cannot crop an image fast?"
    So is there any way to fast cropping an image in the CS5 Illustrator that i might not be aware? I might consider an external plugin or script...but again paying for bottle water is always a rip off. That should be a internal feature long time ago, even Corel Draw has it.
    Thanks and cheers,
    S.-

    we're all regular users here and we're trying to help...maybe if your choice of words would have been "is there a way to make a clipping mask in Illustrator faster than the way Indesing does it?" then the answer would have been "no", end of story...
    I don't understand your quest for speed, usually working with illustrator is not associated with churning out the most artwork per minute as humanly possible, but who knows, you might have a legitimate reason for shaving off micro seconds of an operation, otherwise you wouldn't be asking.
    but now that we know what you need, being, a quick way to apply a clipping mask and a quick way to modify such clipping mask, I think this is the best Illustrator can offer, based on what others have said above
    - right after placing your image, hit Ctrl+7, no need to draw a rectangle, or if it is already placed, select it and hit Ctrl+7 or as Monika said push the "Mask" button on the Control Panel.
    - to modify the mask A La Indesign, with your masked image unselected, grab the Direct Selection Tool (A), click on the Mask (not on the image), and grab the Selection Tool (V) (or hit V on your keyboard) to get the bounding box. At this point you can  modify the mask exactly the way you do it in indesign.
    man, if that's not fast enough for you, then, are you racing with your coworkers? maybe try bugging Adobe with a feature request pronto.

  • Is my i7 really not faster?

    I just bought an iMac 27" i7 and noticed, that it's not seemingly faster than my 13" MacBook Pro.
    When doing xBench tests, the i7 only "pulls" a 169 score and when doing compression in Final Cut Compressor, it's like the cores only gets 20% maxed out (according to iStat Menu).
    My MacBook Air (ssd model) is 232 in xBench and another 27" (not i7, though) is 235 in xBench.
    Do I need to do anything, to get better performance or is there anything else I should know?
    Right now, I'm kind of dissapointed with the performance, which is the last thing I should be with an i7, right? I really don't understand why it's not utilizing 100% of the "horsepower".
    I installed extra 4 gb ram in the iMac - can this be the root of a problem?

    You're expecting the wrong kind of speed. I've explained this several times already, so you can find one of those posts for more detail.
    The basic idea is that the i7 has more parallel processing power. It can process 4X the data the MBP can. Any given task may be slower than the MBP, but there's just no way the MBP could hope to keep up under load. Not only that, but the overall system responsiveness will stay much more consistent with the i7. So even if you're rendering some large project with FCP, you could still browse the web, check your email, and other things without your system feeling a bit sluggish.
    I have a C2D laptop and an i7 desktop, and I can definitely notice the difference when I start trying to do some of my usual desktop things on my laptop. The laptop starts to buckle under the load my desktop handles without breaking a sweat.

  • Is lightroom 3 really more fast then 2.5

    Hi
    i have a question
    i bought lightroom 1.4.1
    i tried lightroom 2.x and the beta version 3
    but i did not find more fast then the 2.x version
    do you find the beta3 more fast then 2.x?
    i'm under xp and vista
    thanks

    Interactive performance is improved (e,g. scrolling thumbnails in Grid view and switching from module to module). However, preview rendering and export are slower.

  • How to make photoshop go faster, faster!?

    Right now I'm using a Mac G5 dual 1.8hz PowerPC with 2GB RAM, PS 7.0. My typical files are 400 - 500mb and can have as many as 500-600 layers. Pixel dimension is 5400 x 3150 pixels and after opening my lower left shows 64.9m/1.42 G. It takes a long time to open one of these files- about 3-4 minutes and even longer to save, about 4-5 minutes. Also while the file is open zooming and panning can be choppy and slow, with the monitor lagging behind with the refresh. I can even hear the hard drive going when zooming sometimes. Question is how can I speed up the opening, zooming, saving? I have on order a new Mac Pro 2.93 quad core with 16gb RAM, PS CS4. What else should I put into this to speed everything up? Thanks!

    this is very helpful thank you.
    I'm putting in the maximum ram possible for this machine- 16GB. I don't know how to improve that.
    I see it is also important to have a dedicated scratch disc, with nothing else on it. Adobe even recommends using a RAID array for this, so you are really talking about at least 2 drives just for the scratch disc. I was wondering if you could use an SSD for the scratch disc, like an Intel X25-M 80GB? These drives have very fast read speeds, although the write speed is not as good.

  • Ipod touch software crash help please fast fast

    my 3 weeks old ipod touch got hung
    i swtiched the ipod open but there instead of the apple logo appereared some codes and set of programming statements and then it is not working and just stuck there.
    what should i do please tell me and help fast
    the screen appears almost like a boot screen of the computer

    I have an ipod Touch 32 MB that is only a few weeks old. I'm running the V2.2 update. I had a fair number of apps on the unit - some paid, most free. After loading three new free apps (without rebooting each time), and later synching some new MP3 music, I found I had the same problem as others above - ALL third-party apps start up then exit. Factory functions are fine, music player, etc. work fine.
    I tried deleting the last three apps and rebooting, but still ALL apps just startup and exit immediately. I will try the suggestion of adding a new free app, and then deleting and reinstalling ALL 26 apps. I do not want to do a restore at this point, as there's a couple of gigs of stuff on this 32 GB touch.
    Hoping a new update may provide a fix.

  • Even faster "fast/slow/reverse"?

    I'm looking to play a video clip of clouds in super fast motion. The fast/slow/reverse effect shortens about 60 seconds to 12 but I want it to go even faster. Any ideas? Thanks.

    Os use JES Deinterlacer for Slow, Fast and Reversed motion:

  • Fast fast faster?

    Hi All,
    I am seriously thinking about replacing my G5 DP 1.8gig with a MacBook Pro. I would like to have the portability among other things.
    Does anyone know if there have been any comparisons between the speed of a G5 DP and a MacBook Pro? It would be nice to be able to visualize any differences before I buy it. Is the intel chip that fast?
    Also, is anyone doing any multi-track recording with Logic, maybe you could give me an idea of your track counts, VSTi's etc.
    Thanks
    Jeff
    G5 1.8 DP   Mac OS X (10.4)  

    Look here for speed comparison
    http://www.barefeats.com/pbcd.html
    The MBP 2.0 beats the G5 Dual Core 2.0 at many tests, so should be even faster when compared to your 1.8 GHz G5. Yes, the Intel chip is that fast with Universal Binary programs.
    There was a post earlier today about Logic on MBP's, so you may want to do a search of this forum.

  • Audio recording/playback plays too fast, faster than Video

    : Whenever I record sound from my computer, whether it's from my mic or just sounds playing on the computer, the recorded file always plays the audio faster than the video. I've checked the drivers and re-installed several times, even reformatted and it's still the same thing. I even played around with the hardware acceleration meter with trial and error and it end's up always the same.
    What could be the problem?

    Try turning off automatic exposure in the settings. And adjust some of the other settings (gamma, brightness, exposure) until you get a picture which you're happy with. And try that. In the UK, films are made at 24fps (frames per second) PAL format, and in America it's 30fps NTSC format. So yes, 30fps is as good as it gets! It's as good as TV and better than a lot of other webcams.

  • MSI-256 - Fast Forward/Rewind Issue...

    Folks, I'm using the MSI Mega Stick 256 with the latest firmware.
    All is cool, except for the fast forward/rewind function. I'm listening to the .Net Rocks radio show. The show is long - up to two hours. So I need to fast forward to get to where I was last at. But when I do it moves slowly forward or backward for a minute before hitting turbo mode jumping 2 minutes for each tick. The problem is it is too slow for the first minute and way too fast fast after that. I often am jumping forward and backwards several times to get to where I want to be.
    It really need to use a logarithmic speed increase so that I can judge better when to stop fast forwarding.
    That's my #1 issue.
    Also it would be nice to have it resume playing from the point in the last file it was playing. And it would be nice to see on screen the current time display.
    Cheers!

    Here's a thing:
    unfortunately, it's not the iPod touch/iPhone 2.0 software that is causing this... It's actually the video encoding
    iPod touch/iPhone 2.0 has new playback system that is causing a video encoded with 3rd party encoding software (not the one from Apple, but other software's iPod compatible h.264 encoding system such as iSquint) to go haywire when fastfowarding or rewinding a video....
    I had issues with some of my home movies, encoded via iSquint, playing on my iPod after upgrading to 2.0, but after re-encoding it with Quicktime Pro, (yes, I converted the ORIGINAL file to h.264 via Quicktime Pro) all my video playback smoothley.
    So, it's not a software issue, it's the video encoding issue....

  • How much faster or better is the new iMac... really?

    Hello all,
    I have a 20" 2.33Ghz C2D iMac w/256Meg video RAM, and 3Gig of RAM. I understand that many factors come in to play when you compare the over all speed of a computer. How much faster, over all, is the new iMacs over the system I have? Has anyone tested the two next to each-other yet? I am sure the new one is faster in some ways, but is it really lots faster in over all performance, or just a little?
    Apple //GS

    Hi Patrice,
    Within Apple’s slim new 21.5- and 27-inch iMacs are NVIDIA GeForce GPUs, based on our new Kepler-class architecture, which helps make them up to 60 percent faster than last year’s models. This follows news in June that Apple’s 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display uses Kepler GeForce GPUs.
    The new 27-inch iMac offers the GeForce GTX 660M as its base GPU, with even faster GeForce GTX 675MX or GeForce GTX 680MX GPUs available. The 21.5-inch model comes with the GeForce GT 640M GPU, with an available upgrade to the GeForce GT 650M GPU.
    http://blogs.nvidia.com/2012/10/big-imac-news-less-heft-more-kepler/
    So, any Apps that use the GPU to assist GPU should be much faster.
    Though I don't see it listed here, it may be too new, I suspect it may be supported...

  • Make gnome3 log in really fast

    I like gnome 3 and gnome-shell's way of working, but it's not as fast as I would like when logging in. I use lxdm, because it really is faster than gdm, and I would use xfce, except for the fact that it just doesn't have gnome-shell's overlay. Any ideas on how to get gnome 3 to login really fast?

    Wow, e4rat does speed things up! I am going to try that bootchart thing to see how fast, but it is obviously faster! Until I have lxdm start gnome, wonder must be right, because once it appears, everything appears instantly, but it still takes some time to get there. It's not any real big amount, but it is noticeable, and I'd like to get rid of it.

  • FAST enabled MView takes ages to refresh

    Hi All,
    I have a materlialized view which is based on a single fact table ( OAS_BALANCE_UNIONED 11,445,156 rows) and a bunch of dimension tables each containing limited number of rows (a typical start schema).
    The conditioins to make the mview fast refreshable have been met so the mview created successfully with the FAST option.
    The mview then worked just fine after than and had been refreshing FAST (6 minutes) for the whole day till other mviews started to refresh in the same time. Some of those mviews read from some of the base tables of the mview in question. Since then, the mivew has started to take ages (3 hours) to refresh. There is surely something wrong because the COMPLETE refresh was faster than that.
    Later, I stopped all the refresh jobs of the other mviews. Yet, the FAST mview still has the same problem of taking ages to refresh.
    When I monitored the session that refreshes the mview, I noticed in the "Long Ops" that
    most of the time is spent on a step named as "Hash Join" (it appears in the Message column). Hash join occurrs because of the outer join.
    Why my FAST mview suddenly started to take so long time to refresh?
    How can I make my FAST mivew really refresh fast?

    Hard to say why the refresh is now slow. Possibilties include
    * system resources implemented by the fast refresh
    * something changed on the query making the background query run slowly
    Look at the query first. 18 tables, with almost every join an outer join. Some of the tables appear more than once in the query.
    Get an executioion plan to see how the query is being executed.
