Hi ERH1962;
Yeah. Sure. A lean system to save you a couple of microsecond but you spend days getting it. so now it will take the rest of the millennium to recoup your lost time. Smart.

  • HP PhotoSmart 7510 suddenly has severe connectivity issues

    I have a HP PhotoSmart 7510 printer since about 2 months. Initial setup worked like a charm and the printer has been working pretty much perfectly for the last 2 months. Wireless printing, scanning and internet access on the printer (e.g. for Facebook photos) all worked. Just from time to time i would get the occasional (mildly annoying) message on my computer saying "scan to computer is currently unavailable" but it usually worked itself out and whenever I needed it to work, it did work.
    But since a few days ago, it has some severe connectivity issues. I didn't change any settings on the printer, router or computer - the issues just started appearing by themselves. I startet getting much more frequent messages on my computer saying "scan to computer is currently unavailable". I noticed I couldn't print anymore, and restarting computer, printer and/or router didn't help at all. The only thing so far i managed to print wirelessly since the problems started were the first 5 pixel rows of an image I tried to print, the rest didn't transmit.
    It seems the printer still connects to the WLAN but printing and scanning no longer work, and whenever I try to access a web service on the printer (like Facebook) it says it has no internet connection, even though the WLAN light is lit up (not blinking) and all the wireless status reports say "congratulations, no problems found" and display IPs etc. just like normal.
    I looked at the threads "PhotoSmart 7510 connects to router, but not to the web.", "Wireless printer (HP Photosmart 7510) not connecting to network" and "Photosmart 7510 won't connect to Web Services" but they weren't a big help. Activating EWS didn't work because even though the printer showed its IP address to be 192.168.1.3, when I entered this in my web browser it didn't find the printers configuration page.
    I tried the following steps from one of the threads:
    1. Restore the Network defaults
    2. Unplug the printers power cord while it is still on. Leave it unplugged and walk to the router.
    3. While the router is still on, unplug the power cord from the router, leave it unplugged for 30 seconds, then reconnect the power cord to the router. Once plugged back in the router should power on automatically.
    4. Plug the power cord back into the printer. Once plugged back in the printer should power on automatically.
    5. Run the Wireless Setup Wizard to reconnect the printer to your wireless network.
    6. Try enabling Web Services.
    I followed these steps exactly. Interestingly, even though I had done step 1 and restored the network settings to factory defaults, after turning back on, the printer somehow still had its old settings saved and reconnected to the network.
    It seemed to have fixed the problem, the printer finally had internet access again (Facebook app showed my photos) and scan to computer found my PC. But after just about 3 minutes, the printer had lost its internet connectivity again. When opening the Facebook app, it displayed the same error message it did before. And printing no longer worked as well.
    So, what is wrong with this printer?! It has the newest software update by the way (I checked during the 3 minutes it had internet access.) My computer is a HP Windows 7 x64 machine (EliteBook 6930p) and the router I'm using is a Netgear WNDR3700.
    I specifically bought this printer for my studies at university. In one week i have my exams and in order to study I REALLY need to be able to print some of my course materials! So any help as quickly as possible would be greatly appreciated. Or do you think this is a case for a warranty replacement, considering the printer's really strange and error-prone behavior?
    Thanks a lot!

    I can assure you that it is not a router issue.  It appears to me that it is a driver compatibility with Windows OS.  After trying to get to the bottom of this since my Photosmart 7525 was new and reading just about every forum and blog, I have come to the conclusion that the issue must be related to the HP driver itself.  
    The issue does not seem to affect any Mac systems, and from one forum someone was able to fix it by downloading new drivers compatible with 64-bit systems (which seem to not be affected by the glitch).  But that leaves us 32-bit people stuck with the current driver which does not work.
    The printer is connected with good signal to the wireless router (no matter who's router it is and what configuration is made).  The printer can be pinged from the router and any computer on the network which is not currently being affected by this issue.  However, the affected computer fails pings by either request timed out, or destination host unreachable.  Pings are successful from the affected computer to any other device on the network.  The only way to recover (at least for a few days) is to reboot the affected computer.
    Also, from the display on the 7525, the network tests pass without issue.  I can also download and print content from the internet with no issues.  
    Please do a quick google search of this issue and you will see several THOUSAND entries of people with the same request.  This is a serious issue that people are having and everything is pointing to an HP problem (not routers, improper installation of software or drivers, etc...).  I agree with several other customers that HP should be on the hook for this fix.  I will give it another couple weeks, then back to the store for a reliable unit from another competitor (Canon, Lexmark, etc..)
    Thank you in advance for escalating this issue to product engineering,

  • Multi Select Choice on af:query has severe performance issue

    Multi-select choice used with af:query through a view criteria is causing severe performance issue on deselection of "All" checkbox, if the data in the list is around 550 rows. The same component works absolutely fine when used in a form layout.

  • Severe banding issue in shadow areas

    Short Version: Having severe banding issues in shadow areas in Lightroom. Need to know how/what to set my color profile to to fix this issue. Lengthier description and images below.
    I have read several posts here in the Lightroom forums about others who are experiencing the same type of banding issues, but I haven't seen any definitive answers on how to solve the problem.
    I was able to take a couple screenshots of the issue that I am seeing. The image looks very different in Photoshop, Lightroom, Windows Photo Gallery, and also rendered in IE7. Screenshots of the image in Lightroom and the image in Photoshop are posted below at a 100% crop of the affected area. The first image is how it appears in Lightroom and the second image is how it appears in Photoshop.
    From what I have read elsewhere the problem has to do with how Lightroom uses color profiles. I do not have much experience with color profiles, so I'd like to get everyone's recommendation on what color profile I should be using, and maybe a link to some information on setting color profiles and how to fix this issue. The image looks so much different in Lightroom than it does elsewhere, that I can't see myself being able to trust Lightroom to process my images.
    Some info on my setup. Shoot RAW with Canon Rebel XT. Use a Dell with Pentium D running Windows Vista. Monitor is a Dell 2007FP, and currently I am using the Dell 2007FP color profile as far as I can tell.

    Don, Bob!
    I think it is quite obvious that the Eric's problem is not banding per se (and the related cure by fiddling with black setting), but rather about the mismatch between how the file looks in LR's Develop 100% view and how the same file (or an exported file) looks in Photoshop.
    Eric!
    I am afraid there is no definite answer to this problem. Indeed there are a number of Windows users that have reported this problem. A very exhaustive and inconclusive thread is this:
    http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/webx?128@@.3bc3578d
    The bottom line so far seems to be this:
    LR on Windows uses Windows ICM to generate how the image looks on the screen, while PS uses Adobe own engine to generate this. Somehow this set-up appears not to work reliably with LR - the on-screen image in LR 100% develop differs from the same file's appearance in PS or other color managed applications. The mystery here is that other applications that seem to use Windows ICM still manage to show image correctly, but not LR. But anyway, the Windows ICM appears to be the culprit here.
    The amount of difference people see depends on the complexity of the monitor profile used. LUT based Version 4.0 profiles will be affected worst - not only shadow detail, but the overall tonality and colors may be off. The best match is achieved with simple matrix based version 2.0 profiles - on my machine the mismatch occurs only in deep shadows were I see banding/splotchiness in LR and only under certain Develop settings.
    (Incidentallly, on Windows XP (and older) machines one should ALWAYS use ver 2.0 profiles, as Windows ICM does not support ver 4.0 profiles. I also think that Windows ICM cannot handle LUT based profiles correctly. My own experiments showed that using LUT based monitor profile resulted in mismatch between PS CS2 and other applications (like Canon DPP), not only LR. BTW - as you are using generic monitor profile, I can almost bet that it is a matrix ver 2.0 profile (good thing).)
    I am curious about the Vista thing though. I had certain hopes that this image appearance problem in LR would be eliminated on Vista, as it uses the Microsoft's new Windows Color System which incororates an updated ICM that now supports ver 4.0 profiles and reportedly has many bugs of the previous ICM fixed. However, if your report is true and the image mismatch is not due to some other factors, then it seems that Vista does not solve this.

  • Oracle Apps Database severe Performance Issue

    Hi Gurus,
    This is regarding a severe performance issue running in our Production E-Business Suite Instance.
    its an R12.1.3 setup installed with 11.2.0.1 Database. All the servers are Solaris Sparc 64 (Solaris 10)
    Let me brief you about the instance first:
    2 Node Application
    - Main Application Server hosting web/forms/concurrent/admin servers
    - iSupplier server hosting web services (placed in DMZ, used by external suppliers via Internet)
    1 Node Database Server
    Database Server Specs
    Memory: 144G phys mem 20G total swap
    - CPUs (8Px4cores, 2Px2cores)
    - I/O - fiber channel hard disk (hitachi SAN Storage) - 7 DATA_TOPs (7 drives with RAID 5) - current DB size 1.6 TB
    - at peak load, around 1000 concurrent forms session and 2000 web sessions.
    We have been facing some serious performance issues and we raised an SR with Oracle Support.
    The Support analyzed a bunch of AWR Reports we provided them and they asked us to increase the DB_CACHE from its current usage of 27G to 40G
    So, we changed SGA_TARGET from 35G to 50G and PGA was increased from 35G to 40G as v$pgastat was also suggesting some lack of memory.
    We made these changes last night.
    Today morning we observed the following:
    1. after start of office hours, we checked in the home page of EM DB Console that ADDM was showing reduced impact due to lack of SGA memory which seemed to be a good sign. Earlier it was around 25% which was now at 12%.
    However, negative aspects were:
    1. lot of swapping was reported by the System Administrators on the DB Server
    2. High CPU Usage
    3. EM DB Console showed a lot of "Concurrency Wait Class" events ...throughout the day lot of blocking sessions were reported which were making other sessions to wait.
    in the AWR Report, following foreground reports were listed:
    Top 5 Timed Foreground Events
    Event

    This is showing "library cache lock" events as the main culprit apart from the usual suspect, the CPU.
    I am attaching the AWR Report. Please let me know if  i should revert back the memory changes or is there anything else i could do.
    Please help us resolving it because the performance is going worst.
    Regards,
    Muneer.

  • Severe performance issues in production database

    Hi Experts,
    we have configured RMAN in our production database recently using some 3 party tool COMMVAULT.
    Problem is just 47 GB database taking around 6 hrs of time to complted the bakcup job. Please let me know what could be the reason.
    Further to this issues i found out some of few things, our application vendor commissioned this database server and it seems that they done some changes in TIMEZONE settings.
    when i query against some of few dictionary tables for example dba_schedular_jobs i am getting the following error.
    ORA-01882: timezone region %s not found
    when ever i connect the database , the connection itself is very slow and suffering severe performance issues in my production database.
    You help would be much appreciated.
    Regards,
    Salai

    Hi,
    also let us know if you use asm or local file system for datafiles.
    Your backup strategy will also be helpful:
    Do you make compressed backups?
    Full or incremental?
    To where do you backup the database? To the local filesystem, SAN Volume, Offsite Storage, Tape storage?
    Is there any other jobs running while the RMAN job is running?
    Please post the stats that you have gathered over the time period when the backup is running.
    Thanks.

  • Severe Security Issue with Sharing Permissions and Windows

    I recently discovered a severe Security issue with the windows sharing an permission settings:
    I have two users, an admin user and a parental controlled user. On my mac mini, i have a external harddrive connected. On the harddrive, i have three folders, Itunes, Iphoto (Package) and a Temp Folder. I want to share the Harddrive RW for the admin, but only R for the parental user. But the Temp folder should be accessible for RW for the parental as well.
    1. I set the Drive checkbox "ignore ownership" off.
    2. I set the permissions of the drive to admin RW, parental R and Everyone to "no access"
    3. I apply to enclosed Items
    4. I set the permission of the Temp folder to admin RW, parental RW and Everyone to "no access"
    5. I apply to enclosed Items
    6. I go to "File Sharing" in the Preferences and activate SMB sharing for both users
    7. I delete all previous shares
    8. I add the Disk and use the proposed permissions which are admin RW, parental R, Everyone "no access"
    9. I add the Temp folder and use the proposed permissions which are admin RW, parental RW, Everyone "no access" - Funny, there is a new Group called "Temp" created which has custom access on both sharepoints
    10. I connect to the mac over a Windows machine (NTLM auth set appropriatly). Now I try to create a folder on the root of the Disk share, I get a denied message.
    BUT WHEN I GO INTO A SUBFOLDER (eg. ITUNES or IPHOTO), WHICH HAS ALSO JUST "R" PERMISSION FOR THE PARENTAL USER, I AM ABLE TO RW, DELETE AND DO EVERYTHING!!!
    TO RECAPITULATE: THE SHARING PERMISSIONS ARE "R", AND THE FILE PERMISSIONS IN THE RESPECTIVE FOLDERS FOR THE RESPECTIVE USER ARE ALSO JUST "R". BUT THE USER CAN DO EVERYTHING IN THE SUBFOLDERS!!!

  • Several unrelated issues

    I have several unrelated issues.
    1) My computer recently started failing to startup. It flashes an image of a globe, and then an image of a finder folder alternated with a questionmark, and then, if I'm lucky, proceeds to normal start up. What is going on? How can I fix this?
    2) My computer has started making noise when it is not doing very much. It makes the noise as if it is busy/overloaded, but it does it even when only one page in safari is open (no other applications are opened).
    3) My computer has been very slow since my installation of VirusBarrier x4. It usually operates at normal speeds, but sometimes (even when virus barrier is not running) it moves slowly and loads pages in safari at an extremely low pace. Also, when sending files/folders through iChat, the transfer is rapid, but when receiving files/folders, it is excruciatingly slow and often fails. Is there any way that I can clear some memory? I definitely have plenty of memory left as this computer was purchased this past summer.
    4) My battery is having trouble charging/staying charged. I have heard that re-calibrating may help, but so far it has proved unsuccessful. The battery often jumps from being very charged to less charged to very charged again without being plugged in nor used very much.
    Is anyone having similar issues? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello,
    Below are some answers/suggestions to help fix your issues:
    1)
    Question:
    My computer recently started failing to startup. It flashes an image of a globe, and then an image of a finder folder alternated with a questionmark, and then, if I'm lucky, proceeds to normal start up. What is going on? How can I fix this?
    Answer:
    When you start up your PowerBook and see the image of a globe, that means that your Startup Disk is set to "Network Startup" in System Preferences. To stop this from happening, simply open System Preferences and click Startup Disk, then select "Mac OS X, 10.4.5 on Macintosh HD" and restart. The system folder icon with a flashing ? means that the computer is trying to start up, but cannot (When you change the start up disk, the system folder icon with a flashing ? will no longer be seen).
    2)
    Question:
    My computer has started making noise when it is not doing very much. It makes the noise as if it is busy/overloaded, but it does it even when only one page in safari is open (no other applications are opened).
    Answer:
    Well, it is hard to figure this one out because I would need to know what kind of noise you were hearing (Humming, whine, click, buzz, etc.). If you have a disk in the drive, that could be causing a noise when it is read. Also, do you hear the noise when you are using battery power or connected to the power adapter?
    3)
    Question:
    My computer has been very slow since my installation of VirusBarrier x4. It usually operates at normal speeds, but sometimes (even when virus barrier is not running) it moves slowly and loads pages in safari at an extremely low pace. Also, when sending files/folders through iChat, the transfer is rapid, but when receiving files/folders, it is excruciatingly slow and often fails. Is there any way that I can clear some memory? I definitely have plenty of memory left as this computer was purchased this past summer.
    Answer:
    The first thing you can do is trash all of the system caches (Macintosh HD > Library > Caches) and restart. The next thing you can try is to trash all of the caches in your home (Home Folder > Library > Caches), then log out and back in. If both of those do not work, then I would uninstall Virus Barrier x4 and see if that increases speed. If you do uninstall and it makes a difference, then that is what is causing the issue. If it remains the same, state so in your reply.
    4)
    Question:
    My battery is having trouble charging/staying charged. I have heard that re-calibrating may help, but so far it has proved unsuccessful. The battery often jumps from being very charged to less charged to very charged again without being plugged in nor used very much.
    Answer:
    First of all, have you properly installed Battery Update 1.1? Next, the battery will last longer on a charge if you turn things off such as AirPort and/or Bluetooth. They both use a good portion of the battery when they are in use. Also, try configuring your Energy Saver (System Preferences) differently and see if it helps. Also, the battery will not last forever and I am not sure how much use your PowerBook gets, but but it will eventually need to be replaced.
    I am actually not having any of the above issues, but I hope that you get them all fixed. I wish you the best of luck and if you have any questions about anything above, I would be glad to reply back with an answer.

  • New to FIOS with several video issues

    I switched to FIOS from Comcast four days ago and now have several intermittent video and guide issues I never experienced with Comcast. I've read many posts about the new firmware (1.7) which is rolling out this month, and was hoping to get some clarification on whether these issues are addressed with the update. Sorry if I am re-hashing issues already discussed,  but I just want to be sure I'm dealing with the same problems as everyone else. The 2 STBs I have are the 7216 and the 7100. Both are connected via HDMI and both are v. 1.6.2.
    Issues on both STBs
    - Video and audio drops out for a second on HD channels, just a black screen. This occurs sometimes when switching to another channel, and usually does not recover unless I switch to another channel then back to it.
    - When switching channels, the channel does not change, even though info bar does change and shows the desired channel (if I switch back and forth between channels it will eventually switch correctly. This issue can occur using the Channel up-down button, the "Last" button, or using the number keypad.) Also, the opposite sometimes occurs - the channel changes, but the info bar takes several seconds to catch up.
    DVR (7216) only issues
    - Pixelation when trying to rewind live video (video remains live but corruption occurs llike it is trying to rewind) . Going to another channel and then back usually makes normal rewinding possible.
    - Signal drops when playing a recorded program (no audio and snow for a second or two). However, it is not the recording itself since it does not occur in the same place if you rewind the recording and play it again. This is almost the same kind of drop mentioned above, but there is snow instead of a blank screen.
    I'm debating on going back to Comcast. I love the FIOS features, the extra HD channels, and the deal I got with Verizon, but it is all useless without stable performance.
    Any feedback is greatly appreciated. -Mike

    Update: Switched from hdmi to component cables and this seems to have corrected the video and audio drops both on live TV and DVR playback. No noticable difference in picture quality. Still sometimes get a very short skip, especially the audio right after changing channels, but nothing significant and no more than what I experienced with Comcast (probably would not have even noticed if I didn't experience the bigger problem).
    Still experiencing the same intermittent bugs when changing channels. The 7216 STB doesn't always change channels, although the info bar reflects the switch. The 7100 is the opposite - channel changes but info bar has long delay. Also on the 7216, still have issues backing up live video. It appears that the buffer becomes corrupt now and then. Could just be a bad drive which may be causing the channel changing issue as well. Resetting the STBs and router had no effect.
     I should be getting 1.7 update soon and will see if this corrects any of these issues. I will also switch back to HDMI after the update and will post my findings
    Most of what you described are supposed to be fixed with 1.7. And as you saw most of it was fixed by switching to the component cables. Those items that are fixed by this are the ones that are being focused on with the 1.7
    However, the problem with the info bar not changing in a timely manner. This will likely not be fixed. Those that already have 1.7 still have this issue. Also I've noticed lately that both my DTV DVR and my TIVO are both starting to do the same thing as my 6416 Verizon. (I have DTV with Tivo at another location). All three DVR's on two different companies are doing the same delay of 3-5 seconds when changing channels before the info bar changes. I watch the boards here and dont see any solutions and both DTV and TIVO said it is just a delay in the software on the DVR and that there is nothing they can do about it. It sounded like a cop out but since it is happening with 3 differnt manufactures and on two different companies, I'm not sure where to put the blame on this one.
    the short skip that you see when changing channels is normal. usually this is when the resolution of the program changes especially when going from SD to HD. I've seen this on every digital system I've ever used. Dont think this is anything to be conserned about.
    The problem with the box not changing channels. This is another story all together. This is one to be worried about and work on correcting. Does it only happen when using the remote? what if you use the channel up and down on the box itself? will it do the same with the other remote from the other box? Have you tried calling TS and had them reset the box yet?

  • Several Software issues with N73

    Hey
    Im in South-Africa and got a N73 on a contract upgrade. Since i got the phn i noticed several issues/bugs with the software. Im not complaining about the phn. I think it's a great phn, Im only highlighting the problems so that in the next firmware upgrade the problems will hopefully be dealt with.
    The problems i found were:
    1 - While browsing the internet the browser just closes and returns to the standby screen. Happens frequently.
    2 - Sometimes the camera takes a photo but does not store it
    3 - When opening up the gallery it sometimes does not open and returns to the menu.
    4 - Dont know if this is a bug, but with my 7610 i could "multitask", eg. while a Java app was running i could press the red button and return to the standby screen while the java app is still running in the background and when i clicked on the app it will return. I see that this is missing in the N73, i thought this was a great ability and would love for the N73 to do the same. I dont know if it's a firmware update or dependant on the operating system.
    I hope the Nokia team takes note of these issues.
    Thanks
    A

    sorry, i forgot to say my firmware version is v3.0638.0.0.1

  • Who can I contact about getting some help with this ongoing (several months) issue???

    I will try to make a long story at least somewhat shorter.Comcast customer for 20 years (yes - literally 20 uninterrupted years). 8 years of service at current address.Several months ago I restructure my bill - all my promotions etc had run out and I wanted to reduce my bill.  Ended up being told my customer support that I could save money by getting the "Triple Play" (I've NEVER had comcast phone service, I have my own VOIP phone solution).  They told me I didn't have to "use" the phone, just getting it hooked up would save me money.  Fine.Internet service was not supposed to have been touched / changed at all. A few days after making these changes, a large box from Comcast shows up at the house.  It has TWO cable modems in the box.  Not sure why they sent them - I already had the latest cable modem (that was capable of supporting the phone service they needed to activate). Notified comcast about the shipment.  They said don't worry about it.  Okay, I left them in the box. Tech shows up at house while I'm working.  Wife called and I talked to tech. He said he just needed to get some "numbers" off the modem to activate the phone service (I'm in the IT industry - I will assume he wanted MAC / SN#'s).  I made sure he was making no changes to the modem itself - I've got my own home network setup.  The Comcast cable modem serves as a gateway and it's in bridged mode.  Always has been. I have my own router etc. So a week or so after that visit, the modem started losing connectivity.  It happens almost EVERY DAY and it's almost always in the later afternoon (5:30-7pm EST) and sometimes late at night.  When this happens, the ONLY way to get the connection back is to unplug modem power AND the coax cable input.  It will then restart the modem and it comes back.  Simply unplugging power and restarting will not do it. After multiple hours spent with support on the phone (we activated the newest modem they sent - same issue.  Activated the other modem they sent - same issue.  In fact they weren't able to put one of them in bridged mode at all). They said a tech needed to come out. Tech comes out - checks the feed to the house.  Said there is a lot of noise in the lines.  (Please note that there is one main comcast feed to my house - it splits outside (in the comcast locked box) into two feeds which enter the house. One feed splits and runs the upstairs TV's (Digital Adapters) and the downstairs STB / DVR.  The other feed goes DIRECTLY to my cable modem. I ran those feeds myself when I moved in this house.  Never had an issue before. Cable TV never has issue - only internet.   So the tech replaced some ends on the upstairs line (Cable TV - he said that signal noise could cause issues with the internet).  I then helped the tech run a BRAND NEW line from the split at the comcast box, directly to the modem.  He said the signal / noise looked much better. Next day - same ISSUE - modem dropped connection.  Pull power and coax cable, reseat, modem restarts, signal comes back. I called support again.  They gave me an incident #.  Said they would have a "Crew supervisor" contact me, since it's obvious the problem lies outside of my home. A tech called and left a voice mail on my phone (was working when it came in, couldn't answer).  They did not leave a call back number. Called support again.  They told me a tech would call me back and was advised to leave a call back number.  That was MONDAY of last week.  Haven't heard anything.  The contact # is my cell...no missed calls. Is there another number I can call or email address so I can escalate this issue?  Having to disconnect / reconnect the modem EVERY DAY at least once is getting tiresome.   I'm in the Richmond Virginia area if it matters at all. Thanks.

  • Several LR3 issues - Crashes, memory dumps, and other oddities

    I recently built a new PC dedicated to my photo work.
    i7 2600k, 16gb DDR 3 ripjaws, 128GB crucial m4 SSD, (2) x 1TB 7200 HDDs (mirrored), Sapphire Radeon HD 5570.
    The first month or so of use LR worked great. However, recently I have been getting several errors and oddities.
    1) Randomly closes. I can restart it without a problem and pick back up where I left off. There are not warnings or signs that it is about to close.. it just does.
    2) "Unexpected end of file". Unable to edit photo. Preview does show, however. I have never seen this error before on other machines.
    3) Memory dumps. I assume this is related to LR3 as that is the only program I am actively using when it happens (Chome is always open as well, however) I will have the dump files examined to know for sure.
    4) Something new that just started today. In the preview bar on the bottom, as I scroll through the photos I see the previews of other photos.. some photos from other folders I took weeks or months ago. When I hover over the image it changes to what it should be. I am seeing 2 instances of this. 1 with a photo from this particular shoot and one from one I did over a month ago. Everything I scroll back and forth (rapidly or not) as the previews load it loads the wrong files first, multiple times (around 8 or 9 in a row) and then they slowly change to what it should be.
    I am not sure if I am properly describing this error but it is really weird.
    Also, this seems to only happen on the images off a CF card. I was borrowing a friends D200 as a 2nd body for a party. When I scroll through the images off my SD card I do not see the issue appear. When I get to the CF portion of the folder is when I see the problem....
    I just updated LR today but these issues occured prior to the update and still exist afterwards.
    Do I need to do a fresh install of LR?
    What precautions do I need to take in doing so to insure my catalogue stays intact?
    Thanks for your help.

    I am still having issues.
    The crash dumps are far less frequent now. I think it may have been a catalogue issue maybe? I started a new one and things were better.
    However, I am consistantly getting the "Lightroom has stopped working" and it closes down..... repeatedly. Very Very annoying.
    It is not a major issue to just restart Lightroom, esp since it is on an SSD, it pops right back up instantly.
    All of my files are on the HDD, however, not the SSD.
    I had reinstalled LR3 once before which did not help. Any other suggestinos?
    I can't imagine a reinstall of Windows would do anything for me. I have no issues with anything other than LR.
    Could my video card be playing a role in the errors? I do notice weird random artifacts in my images sometimes when I add a brush stroke, or clone something out. Or sometimes just simply zooming in will great these weird multicolored lines in the image. Zooming out makes it go away. It is random when it shows up and often times closing and reopening LR will make it go away. So these are not permanent artifacts in the image unless I export the file with them showing. This leads me to think maybe the video card is having some issues. All drivers are up to date. It is not a high end card. Based on all my research when buidling this machine, a basic video card is all that is needed as RL is CPU and memory intensive, which is where I put most of my $. (i7 2600k and 16GB DDR3)

  • Several iTunes Issues

    Any help would be incredibly appreciated. I've had problems with iTunes for the last several months to no avail.
    To start off, I've had a couple iPod Touch issues. For example, iTunes says that it's a 4GB and it's full, when it's actually 16GB. When I plug it in, it says that there's a missing file or the iPod doesn't exist. To remedy this, I've tried restoring my iPod back to factory defaults, and I also tried reformatting my computer - honestly, nothing has worked. In addition to this, my iPod Touch's apps open for about ~2seconds and then immediately close, and my music will play a single song and when it's continuing onto the next song in the queue, it will also play for a few seconds and then close. I do not have problems with my iPod Nano, or a friend's regular iPod. I've returned my iPod to be fixed twice (I have a Future Shop warranty), for it to come back both times with only the battery changed and the second time, the screen came back somewhat separated from the edge and the light from the screen was coming through it. Can't have my iPod replaced until it's been sent out a fourth time with the Future Shop warranty, but I'm getting pretty frustrated.
    I downloaded ~200 podcasts last night, and now iTunes is not even recognizing that my iPod is plugged in at all, and it's continuously freezing once I've minimized it. I'm totally stumped and I don't know what to do next - I've tried everything.
    I know that this is the iTunes forum, I'm just trying to elaborate as much as I can (maybe my iPod problem is somehow related to my iTunes.. sigh).
    Any and all suggestions are absolutely welcome. I'm willing to try anything at this point.
    Thanks for reading,
    Kay

    I have reinstalled it now and it says I've had 2 errors within the last hour.
    The Apple Mobile Device service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 1 time(s). The following corrective action will be taken in 60000 milliseconds: Restart the service.
    Product: iTunes -- This iTunes installer is intended for 32-bit versions of Windows. Please download and install the 64-bit iTunes installer instead.
    The second one I fixed by downloading the 64-bit iTunes instead - so that shouldn't be an issue anymore.
    iTunes is still not automatically syncing my iPod Touch, and File>Sync iPod is grayed out and I cannot select it.
    Also, just in case you are a computer person, I was wondering what this meant. My e-mail and various accounts were hacked around 2 weeks ago, so I'm kind of paranoid. Is this something I need to be worried about?:

  • Several XCode Issues

    I have a number of critical issues using XCode and I'm going to need help solving them. Here are some stats:
    MacBook Pro 13, Mid 2012
    4 GB RAM
    OSX 10.10 (Yosemite)
    XCode reinstalled shortly before the posting of this note
    Version 6.1.1
    1) iOS Simulation. When I run an app it just shows a blank black screen. If I reset contents several times and wait about 5 minutes it usually finds its way to the app I was testing, but that's no way to work. I have attached a screenshot:
    2) Discrepancy between the main.storyboard iPhone screen and the simulator iPhone screen. The one in the storyboard shows a near-square screen, which changes in the simulator. This moves my stuff off-center. I have attached an example using a simple app with a centered textfield and button:
    3) Xcode is being terribly slow. I am talking about ~30-45 seconds to switch between files and views.
    Many thanks to anyone who can help me through this!

    I have seen many reports of people having trouble with Yosemite and only 4 GB of RAM. Those are people using trying to run basic consumer programs. Xcode and the simulator are far more demanding. I upgraded my 2011 MacBook Pro to 16 GB of RAM for only about $200. I installed an SSD too. Before that, I only had 8 GB. It has been a long time since I've attempted to run Xcode with 4 GB. Still, the latest Xcode 6 has some very nasty performance bugs with interface builder. Just having interface builder up in a window will result in glacial speeds for just about anything. 8-10 seconds for a keystroke to register. Only go into interface builder when you need to edit something there. If you need to go do something else, make sure to select some other file.
    As far as the square screen goes, you really have no option but to live with auto layout. Some people do all of the auto layout in code because interface builder is so bad at it. I've done mostly OS X apps where auto layout is completely non-functional. I don't have a good answer for you other than to do some research and see how you can make the best of a bad situation. There are a lot of clever people trying to make it useable. Here is one example: https://github.com/Masonry/Masonry , and another: https://github.com/smileyborg/PureLayout and certainly many others. You just have to find something that works for you.
