Safarin 6.0 doesn't work smoothly

I notice that Safari 6.0 doesnt work smoothly. However, when i test a same website on Chrome ver 20, they work smoother when i scroll up and down.
Is there anyone to meet the same problem as me?

Why Premiere Elements 10 doesn't work smoothly?

First of all I am using Windows Vista 32 bit (on a HP Pavilion dv6).
Actually it happens lately that the software video screening doesn't work properly smooth so that i cannot see the video into the software and i must export it if i want to see the result. It stops, that makes working impossible.
By the way, since two weeks, when i open the software, a screening tells me that i have to update the video card, if i want better performances.
If i click "OK", Premier however starts, but it doesn't work smoothly, like i told. The ironic fact is that i had already update the version of video card, so i've got the february version.
So my question is: what do i have to do? have i to change my video card? Or what else?
Plese help me
Thank you

To help others following your Premiere Elements 10 Windows Vista 32 bit issue, I am posting the link to your recent thread in which we discussed the matter and went through troubleshooting.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1259758?tstart=0
The conclusion that I arrive at when the thread was ended,
if
a. you have the latest video card driver version according to the web site of the manufacturer of that video card
and
b. you have deleted the BadDrivers.txt file and still have the problem
then
this situation is indicative of replacing the video card with another supported video card
(as per the comments of Daksha123 in the thread that I cited in our recent discussion of this matter)
So in summary,
if user is getting warning message : "We have detected an incompatible display driver. To get a better and faster playback performance, please update your display driver "
1. User should try to get the latest driver for the card available on those systems,
2. If user is getting same message again even after updating the driver, try to re-launch app after deleting BadDrivers.txt file,
3. If even deleting “BadDrivers.txt” is not working and they are again getting same message, then that driver is really a bad driver for PRE9. PRE9 will run in pure software mode in that case.
But, I wonder what would happen if you just uninstalled and then reinstalled the present video card driver?
We will be watching for your progress.
Thank you.

It seems like my ipod doesn't work smoothly

i have the 3rd generation and 4th generation. there are a lot of differnces with each other. when my wifi is on for my 3rd gen, it runs smoothly, but the battery doesn't last no more that i would expect it to be. my 4th gen has its wifi on everytime. my problem with it is that it's so slow, the response of the ipod itself. like everytime i type, it has a late response.

Got my new 3 GS only two weeks go. My Home Button doesn't work properly. Any suggestions?

malfunction of the home button right from the beginning, when I received it from apple service (Apple Store Covent Garden, London), two weeks ago. The button doesn't work smoothly and needs repeated hard pushes to show reaction

If after taking the steps mentioned in the numerous posts, bring your phone back to the Apple Store for evaluation.

On iPhone 5S compass, level, parallax effect doesn't work properly.

I'm using iOS 7.0.2 on iPhone 5S. I recently opened compass app, calibrated it and the compass doesn't move. Restarted, reset, and even restored but doesn't work. But on iPhone 5 (7.0.2) it worked. Next I swiped to level feature it worked, but when I placed it on a straight table it showed "-6" reading, while iPhone 5 showed "0" ( latter is correct ). After that I checked the new dynamic ( bubbles ) wallpaper. When I move iPhone 5S they move but in between they start getting stuck, but on iPhone 5 they worked smoothly. I hope that it's a software issue/glitch and Apple will solve it soon.

I have the exact same issue - I have posted a question only this morning. I am reluctant to do a complete restore on my 5S but turning off on normally works and I can't keep doing that. I noticed though that it only stops working after I've made a call. It works intermittently though. 10 minutes ago it stopped working after I made a call. Just checked it now and it's working again?! My compass appears to be working (it also goes green when level but don't know if this i normal or not as I never use the compass anyway).
Wonder what could be causing it especially on the newer phones?

yup just tried.... and no it still doesn't work...
weird that when i check with my friends, they all say it works on their iPhone 4... just not my ipod Touch... !@#$%
and when i check forums for the past few days.. i don't see anyone complaining that this app doesn't work... and alot of reviews saying that it works on iPhone, ipod Touch, and iPad if i didn't recall wrongly...
this is terribly frustrating!!

Atan in jdk1.1.8 doesn't work. help

I am creating a program which simulate the effect of gravity on a object (for a game). For this I am working with jdk1.1.8. (not by choice). But for some reason the movement of the object just turns around. I believed that de method Math.atan2 was wrong so i have rewritten it and it worked better. But the method atan most likely doesn't work either because it is not perfect yet. Does anyone know or have an implementation of de atan method in java that works so i can use it? Because I don't know how the method works.
maybe i am wrong here but it is basicly the only solution to my problem. if give the code of the bullet class with it. maybe anyone sees the problem there:

I have allready tested my code to the max en I have redone the calculations about 4 times, because I couldn't believe the fault was in the method atan or atan2 from sun. But since my calculations should work in theorie (worked it out with a math teacher) it's the only options I could think of.
[qoute]
I haven't looked up in the API docs how atan2 is supposed to work, but I noticed these two lines in your code:
forceAngle = atan2(dy2,dx2);//the angle of the force with the y-axis
travelAngle = atan2( (x-oldx), (y-oldy) );
In one place you use Y and X as the parameters and in the other case you use X and Y. They can't both be right.
[qoute]
In this case it is. because the forceangle is opposite the x-axis and thus the two must be reversed. (travelangle is opposite the y-axis).
I have also tried to reverse them (for both) but the effect got worse :)
Thanks anyway.

[Solved] Network doesn't work after hibernate?

Hello! This is my first legit Linux install so excuse me if I'm a bit slow. I installed Arch last night and everything went smoothly. However, after I tested out hibernate on my machine, the network doesn't seem to work. Just prior to the hibernate, I installed Pidgin and Skype but they worked alright, so I think that the hibernate caused a problem on eth0.
I have an Asus P8Z68-V Pro motherboard with an Intel 82579V Gigabit Ethernet Controller that's using the e1000e driver. Running "dmesg | grep e1000e" says that it is up.
I'm not entirely clear here, but from reading, I think that I have several ways of connecting to the network, including network, dhcpcd, networkmanager, and wicd. I am using wicd so I did the following (or at least I think I am only using wicd):
#rc.d stop network
#rc.d stop dhcpcd
#rc.d stop networkmanager
Similarly, I put a ! in front of network in rc.conf:

Restarting eth0 through wicd-cli still did not work. I also tried resuscitating the network via instructions on the configure network page before trying to focus solely on wicd.
I found a few similar problems on the forums by searching "wicd hibernate" and tried several solutions but they did not work. Several problems seem to be that the network doesn't work after a suspend because I guess the stuff in RAM did not get saved? But people were able to restart the network by running "/usr/lib/wicd/autoconnect.py" and I wasn't able to get this to work. As a final effort, I added "resume" into mkinitcpio.conf and placed the machine into sleep again to see if it may magically reset something but of course this did not happen .
mkinitcpio.conf:
# vim:set ft=sh

# This setting includes any additional binaries a given user may
# wish into the CPIO image. This is run first, so it may be used to
# override the actual binaries used in a given hook.
# (Existing files are NOT overwritten if already added)
# BINARIES are dependency parsed, so you may safely ignore libraries
BINARIES=""

# This setting is similar to BINARIES above, however, files are added

# HOOKS
# This is the most important setting in this file. The HOOKS control the
# modules and scripts added to the image, and what happens at boot time.
# Order is important, and it is recommended that you do not change the

# 'base' is _required_ unless you know precisely what you are doing.
# 'udev' is _required_ in order to automatically load modules
# 'filesystems' is _required_ unless you specify your fs modules in MODULES

## No raid, lvm2, or encrypted root is needed.
# HOOKS="base"
## This setup will autodetect all modules for your system and should

# HOOKS="base udev autodetect ide scsi sata filesystems"
## This setup will generate a 'full' image which supports most systems.
## No autodetection is done.
# HOOKS="base udev pata scsi sata usb filesystems"

Is wicd causing these problems or did I configure something else improperly? Would appreciate any help to get eth0 up again!

Ok, I think I've made some progress! Hibernate definitely affects my network connection. Could this be a kernel 3.0 problem?
I noticed that ifconfig showed eth0 without an inet addr, just an inet6 addr for the longest time. e1000e seemed to be loading up ok. I'm not certain here, but I think that meant the dhcp settings didn't stick, or something along those lines.
Trying to use dhcpcd like the instructions here did not work. By some chance, one attempt did work and while it did, I downloaded and installed dhclient. After that one successful attempt, renewing the DHCP lease via dhcpcd did not work again.
Luckily though, I found that running "dhclient eth0" worked. My DHCP settings seemed to have somehow gotten messed up after my initial, problematic hibernate to the point where none would stick, even after a reboot. Manually typing in "dhclient eth0" would get eth0 working, so I decided to add it to the bottom of /etc/rc.local, like in the example on the networking page.
Now, eth0 works after a boot. However, after the daemons load up during the boot process, my computer takes a long time to get to the login prompt (this is relatively speaking, since I am on a SSD and the boot process used to be blazing fast before). I'm pretty sure it's because I added "dhclient eth0" to /etc/rc.local.
I should say that even with these changes, after a hibernate, my eth0 still does not work and if it weren't for the edit to /etc/rc.local, eth0's inet settings would still not stick after a reboot (that is to say, the hibernate does do something to my network settings).
Is this the correct/most efficient way to fix my DHCP problem? Can I fix my "eth0 after hibernate" issue? Also, can I make my DHCP settings boot up without changes to /etc/rc.local so that I can get a fast boot again (still not sure how it was able to work before without my edit)?

Exporting XML from PP CS6 to Resolve. Doesn't work no matter what we try!

My colorist and I have been pulling our hair out trying to figure out how to get this project into Resolve. I am running the latest version of PP Cs6 on a Windows PC. Edited the feature in native R3D format, 4.5k, everything was smooth as silk. I prepped the project by breaking it into 20 minute reels, removing all effects and speed changes, collapsing it down to 2 video tracks and 1 audio tracks and exporting an XML.
Colorist is running the newest build of Resolve 9 on a Mac and tried to open the XML but it doesn't work. It only shows one clip on the timeline and nothing else. I tried exporting an EDL and it loads a ton of stuff in, but the clips are not right and seem to be the whole takes. He has tried to open in FCP to remake the XML, but it won't open there either. I even tried finding and replacing all the .R3D file extensions in the XML to "_M.MOV" to make it use the proxies instead but no dice.
Is there any way to make this work? I feel like people go from Premiere to Resolve all the time with no hassle. Since we're both using the latest builds I am wondering where the hangup is. I feel like its within Premiere but I don;t know what to mess around with at this point.
Any assistance is appreciated!

I wrestled with that for about 20 hours before getting it.
Here's some of my code:    makeButton("Refresh Table",northP,
    new ActionListener()
      public void actionPerformed (ActionEvent e)
        updateTable();
public void updateTable()
    ch.sendShowAll();
    model.handleServerMessages();
    model.fireTableDataChanged();
/////////////////////This worked for me.
Both these methods occur in the JFrame class that displays the table. I pass the table
model to the JFrame constructor. In the above code, the model object is an instantiation
of the class that extends AbstractTableModel, with the methods getElementAt(), getRowCount(), and getColumnCount().
If you post some of your code,I'll try to help.

I get an "install failed" message. "Recovery system can't be created-click restart to return to previous version of OS X." This doesn't work. My Mac continues to try to install Mountain Lion. What is the elegant way to get my system back?

The first time I attempted to install ML was on a late 2011 MBP. It ran for three minutes then gave me the error message: Could not install OSX due to an unexpected error. I was using the original ML install app, not a USB or other drive.
After a couple of restarts wiht the same result I saw a message to the effect that the install was trying to close open apps. I closed apps manually a few times to no avail. I shut down instead of restarting then booted into Safe mode (hold down the shift key when starting) and that did it. The install went smoothly after that.
I since installed ML in two iMacs using a cloned copy of the install app on a USB drive. This time I shut down the computers and booted into Safe Mode first and there were no problems.
I don't know if this issue is the one causing you these problems but it is a simple enough solution to try.

Upgraded to Leopard, Mail doesn't work

I recently upgraded to Leopard and the Mail program doesn't work. Won't display any mail. Seems to send mail okay from my .mac and .aol (my main email address) accounts, but no messages are displayed, and it is impossible to quit Mail without going through a force quit. I resisted upgrading to Leopard because everything ran so smoothly in 10. 4. 11. But I thought it was time. So far, I've seen no improvements, and this one big problem!
Any ideas? Bob Krist

After upgrading from Tiger to Leopard with the default method Mail was the only thing that didn't work. It wouldn't open a Mail window, appeared to be open on the menu bar and in the dock but would not quit from either command. I had to force quit. When I finally got a mail window to appear, all my email profiles and folders appeared in the left hand bar, but nary an email to be seen in any location. I could not send or receive emails. Pretty much dead!
I didn't have a meltdown because I'd archived my most important emails that were in my folders. I dug through dozens of posts on multiple forums and tried a procedure I could see was making it worse. I shut down the computer so I could get help from AppleCare this morning.
I got in trouble following the less than adequate instructions from The AppleBlog; inadequate because it didn't say where to move the folders and plist to. My most helpful Apple Tech advised me that I needed to QUIT Mail before dragging ONLY the ~Library>Preferences>com.apple.mail.plist file to my desktop. The two folders need to stay in the Library.
After you are out of Mail, on the desktop click on the plist to highlight it. Use Control-click to display the popup menu and select Copy for the plist. Open finder window and select ONLY Preferences (~Library>Preferences) so the word Preferences is highlighted. Go to the Finder>Edit>Paste drop down menu of the toolbar. Select Paste. It will ask if you want to replace the newly created plist with the one you just copied. Select replace. Relaunch Mail and that should restore all your Mail Profiles and retrieve your messages.
This process even brought back my mail folders and put all my saved messages back where they were filed. I didn't have to get into my archived messages file after all.
I just wish I could have found this simpler fix online without spending hours searching and reading conflicting suggestions. Maybe this will help someone else fix their problem faster.

Button on slides randomly doesn't work

Hi there, apologies for posting another question but this is quite bewildering.
I have a project that has some slides that have a number of images on them. Each image is a button that executes an advanced action that "opens" a "layer/lightbox" that has relevant information on it (and hides any other that may be open at the time) plus a small "X = close" button in the top right corner that does the reverse. Basically the images open hidden grouped items creating the illusion of layers, etc, and the close button hides each "layer" accordingly. Testing locally everything behaves perfectly and smoothly.
It's only when uploaded to the LMS that the following issue occurs, in that occasionally, for some users the X button in the top of the "layer" doesn't work. The user is kind of stuck... well, not really - other slide buttons like forward and back, plus the master slide menu buttons all work no problem.
The X buttons are smart shapes and at the top of each groups timeline.
When I test and check they can work perfectly on first test but then the problem manifests the next time I check. It may be the third or fourth time, but if I try enough times the glitch occurs.
Something that may be related and is also bugging me is that in order for the information to look clean on the slide each group has a smart shape layer background that is sized to the 'stage area' to block out the underlying information. The shape is white with 100% opacity and no timeline effects or Timing fade, yet when I view it online I can definitely see the "base layer" background seeping through very, very slightly. Like a hint of transparency. Which makes me think that something in these particular slides is corrupt and causing the issues.
Has anyone else witnessed something similar? I did check and this is not a Pause/Continue slide error (AFAIK) but I couldn't find anything about buttons random not working.
Thank you as always for taking time out to read.

Hi Lieve. Thank you for the prompt response.
The background shape that is slightly see through is in each (hidden) group on the slide itself. Basically, on one slide I have 9 groups that each have a smart shape as a background (bottom of it's timeline grouping), and the same thing on 3 other slides.
The background shape layer in one of the hidden groups:
The slight transparency issue:
I would provide more comprehensive screengrabs of what I am describing but the image content is quite gruesome (medical) and I wouldn't want anyone get ill on these forums.
I was just reading that Dare To Share link and am really impressed how well you explained the functionality. The original documentation was not so great. I will have to apply Shared Actions to all future Captivate module development.
The action associated with the Close button:
Again, thanks for your assistance.

All of a sudden my track pad doesn't work properly and mouse pointer is jumping all over my screen

Help, it feels like someone else is controlling my mouse. This just started happening. My trackpad doesn't work or works sporadically. While typing the pointer is scrolling all over my screen. This is really annoying.

Great tip! Your suggestion to check for a swollen battery in my laptop is working for me. You should get credit for solving the problem.
On my MacBook Pro (2008), my cursor was out-of-control for the past couple of days, like it was having a sissy-fit. In TextEdit, for example, I would enter text, but the text would no longer be entered smoothly, in sync with my typing. Nor would the text appear where I wanted it go. Sometimes, the text I was typing, say in the last line of the document, would jump and insert itself somewhere above in the document. Sometimes, entire lines of text, or entire paragraphs, would get highlighted and then immediately deleted upon my hitting the next keystroke. Not an acceptable way to work!
I tested this odd behavior in Leopard and in Snow Leopard and in Lion, which are all partitioned on my laptop's hard drive. Since I could not isolate the problem to any one version of the Mac OS, I began to fear that my motherboard had gotten compromised and went defective on me.
Your tip proved that it was merely a swollen battery that was the cause of my problems. I was able to confirm this by removing the original battery (now 4 years old) and placing it on a hard surface. It rocked like a see-saw, ever so slightly, about 1/8-inch to 1/4-inch at the far sides of the rocking motion. When I looked at that original, swollen battery from the side, I got further indication that your insight was likely correct, for I could spy the area where the swelling was occurring: it was at an edge in the middle of the battery, and it was separating from the base by about 1/16-inch, just enough to make me wonder why the "springiness" had suddenly disappeared from the central portion of my trackpad.
That change in the touch and the lack of aural feedback (i.e. no "click" sound or feeling) when I depressed the trackpad in the central section, was my first clue that something was wrong. The crazy cursor behavior on-screen was further indication that something was amiss.
I type this reply under A/C power, as the replacement battery, which I had purchased from Other World Computing back in September 2011 for just such an eventuality, is now charging. At first, I was worried that the replacement battery was a dud, for it was stuck on 0% for nearly 10-15 minutes before it began to take a charge. But, 30 minutes of paience has paid off: the replacement battery is now at 15% and getting more powerful by the minute.

Apple DVD Player 5.4 Doesn't Work

I recently updated my MacPro to 10.6.5. Included in this update is a new version of Apple's DVD Player. The new version of DVD Player is 5.4. The installation package includes the application and an entirely new system framework to support it. Unfortunately, it doesn't work on my system.
As a reference point, my MBP is still running 10.6.4. It has DVD Player 5.2. It works great.
I'm unable to play DVD's or load a VIDEO_TS folder using the latest version of DVD Player on my MacPro. I didn't have any problems with DVD Player up until the Mac OS 10.6.5 update.
Further, VLC on my MacPro works fine. This problem exists for all users on my MacPro.
I tried to reinstall DVD Player 5.4 using Pacifist, but there was no change. I dl'd the 10.6.5 package from Apple when I did this. I also tried to reinstall the 5.4.1 framework.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? Are there any known fixes, I prefer to use DVD player over VLC. Nothing against VLC, but DVD Player is a great app when it works.
Thanks!

Yea, I got to thinking about that after I posted. You're right, Boot Camp is safe.
What's very strange is I tried a LOTR DVD over the weekend and it played fine. Thinking it to be a fluke, I tried another ... this time Elf. It worked. I then tried playing from two different VIDEO_TS folders on my HD. They worked too.
I can't explain it. I tried to surgically remove all of the key video player components (including the framework). I then reinstalled these files using the 10.6.5 combo update. No change. I then restored these files using Time Machine (I didn't want to risk messing something else up as there are quite a lot of dependencies stitched together via symlinks at the framework level).
So I should've been back to where I started. A few days later, everything appears to be working.
I have no answers, but I'm glad to have my DVD Player back.
This is off topic, but I also solved a problem I've been having with my mouse for YEARS. I had problems with the Mighty Mouse and later the Magic Mouse on my MacPro. I thought it was my desk. That is, I thought the surface of my desk was causing tracking problems. Very annoying tracking problems. I know, I should've considered bluetooth, but I didn't. To be honest, I wasn't experiencing any other bluetooth related problems so I really thought it was my desk. This problem became unbearable when I was working in Maya last week so I started researching mouse surfaces and mouse pads again (ha!). I inadvertently found this obscure PDF via google. It was written by some guy who was having the same problem 2-3 years ago. Following this guy's procedure, I cracked open my MacPro and moved three difficult to reach wires. Now my Magic Mouse is as smooth as glass. As is my older Mighty Mouse. It turns out that my Airport and Bluetooth modules were wired incorrectly at the factory in China. Honestly, this has been screwed up since 2007. Apparently, this has happened to quite a few people though I never heard about it until now. It would've been nice if Apple would've published something when they discovered they had shipped units with incorrectly wired Bluetooth modules! (if they did, I've yet to find anything from them on the subject). Whatever, I'm glad to have my MacPro's mouse working properly.

Ctrl + numbers switch between spaces doesn't work in lion

After a fresh install of Lion I'veexperienced strange behavior in mission control. I copied all my apps,documents, settings, etc. from SL to Lion but I noticed something different in Lion. Before I changed spaces by using ctrl+number-keys but for some reasonthis doesn’t work in Lion for me. It does nothing. When I hold down ctrl anduse the arrow-key it scrolls to the next space with a smooth animation. Afterthis and still holding the ctrl-key and pressing a number-key (3 for instance)it does jump to that space with a faster animation. But after releasing thectrl-key and trying it again without any arrow keys involved it doesn’t work atall. Is there anyone hew is experiencing the same problem? Anyone with a possibleexplanation or a way to solve this issue? I’m wondering if this has somethingto do with the clean install because my father did an upgrade from SL to Lionand ctrl+number-keys to switch between spaces works fine for him.
Thanks in advance,

Go to the Keyboard preference pane -> Keyboard Shortcuts -> Mission Control and check to see if you have the ^ + number keys set.
