Slideshow stops running before completion

I am attempting to run a slideshow for a client but before its completion the slideshow cuts out. I remain in the slideshow module and if I click on the play button again it will run the slide show to its completion. This is a slideshow of 190 photos (all small jpg files) and it gets about half way through when it cuts out. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.

hi Kimjobaby!
unfortunately, it sounds like you've got a malware problem that has been going around. let's just doublecheck that.
use the following technique to see if you can identify start-up items that are suppressing itunes:

if you do find any, do they include weird items (typically with four-letter names) that don't return any hits when you Google on the name?

How do I get an actor to wait for its nested actors to stop running before stopping itself?

I'm developing a series of projects that are based on the Actor Framework and my actor dependency hierarchy is starting to get some depth. One of the issues I'm facing now is making sure that each actor will only stop running (and signal this via a Last Ack to a higher-level actor or via a notification to non-AF code that launches it) once all of its nested actors have stopped running.
For instance, say I have a type of actor that handles communication with a microcontroller over USB - a USB Controller Actor. I might want to have an application-specific actor that launches USB Controller Actor to issue commands to the microcontroller. When shutting down, I want this top-level actor to send a Stop Msg to USB Controller Actor and then wait to receive a Last Ack back before sending a notification within a provided notifier to the non-AF application code, which can then finish shutting down completely.
I'm sure that having actors wait for all nested actors to shutdown before shutting down themselves is an extremely common requirement and I'm confident National Instruments have made it possible to handle that in a simple, elegant manner. I'm just struggling to figure out what that is.
The approaches I've experimented with are:
Creating a pseudo "Stop" message for an actor that won't actually stop it running straight away, but instruct it to stop all nested actors, wait for their Last Acks and then shut itself down by sending Stop Msg to itself. This isn't elegant because it means the client will be forced to fire off these pseudo stop messages instead of Stop Msg to certain actors.
Instantiating an internally-used notifier and overriding Stop Core.vi and Handle Last Ack Core.vi. The idea is that within Stop Core.vi, I send Stop Msg to each of the nested actors and then make it wait indefinitely on the internal notifier. Within Handle Last Ack Core.vi, I make it send a notification using this notifier which allows Stop Core.vi to continue and perform deinitialisation for the top-level actor itself. Figures 1 & 2 below show this approach. I wasn't confident that this would work since it assumed that it was possible for Stop Core.vi to execute and then Handle Last Ack Core.vi to concurrently execute some time after. These assumptions didn't hold and it didn't work. It would have been messy even if it had.
Overriding Stop Core.vi, making it send Stop Msg to each nested actor and then waiting for an arbitrarily long period of time (100ms, 200ms, etc.). What if a nested actor takes only 10ms to shut down? What if takes 400ms?
The figures below show how I implemented the second approach. Ignore the broken object wires - they only appear that way in the snippets.
Figure 1 - Stop Core.vi from the second approach
Figure 2 - Handle Last Ack Core.vi from the second approach

I think that this would be a nice addition. I think how a program stops is just as important as how it starts.
I think everyone who has worked on AF design agrees with this. Indeed, managing "Stop" was *the* thing that lead to the creation of the Actor Framework in the first place. The other issues (deadlock/hang avoidance and resource management) were secondary to just trying to get a clean shutdown.
CaseyLamers1 wrote:
I find the current code a bit lacking.
My concern would be that the mixing of a verified stop and a regular stop could create confusion and lead to people having trouble during editting and testing with the project ending up locked (due to VIs left running which did not shutting down).
Your concern is to some degree why no verified Stop exists in the AF already. We looked at each actor as an independent entity, and left it open to the programmer to add an additional managment layer for those applications that needed it. But over time, I have seen that particular management layer come up more often, which is why I am exploring the option."
So that gives one of the reasons why this hasn't already been implemented but also points out that it's something quite a lot of people want.

Noted. Here's the discussion: https://decibel.ni.com/content/message/104983#104983
Edit: since there doesn't seem to be any NI-provided way of doing this yet, I suppose I'll try rolling my own at some point. The ideas posted in the discussion you linked seem pretty useful.

Itunes stops running before it's program window opens

I am operating a Windows XP SP1 version of Itunes version 6.0etc and currently Quicktime 7. These programs functioned for a while before the problem presented. Initially there was an error message upon opening itunes that said "Protection Error 34". It wouldn't open but would open if you tried to open itunes a second time. There is a new problem now. When both quicktime and itunes are installed and should be operational, itunes attempts to open but then disappears from the task manager list of processes. Windows hourglass shows up but itunes never opens. No window or error message ever shows up. When i try to access quicktime, the window opens for a split second and then disappears. I've uninstalled and reinstalled both programs several times. If it helps, when i try to run itunes after uninstalling quicktime it gives me a quicktime installation error #-2093 and tells me to install quicktime. When I install quicktime, Itunes attempts to open but then disappears from the task manager list of processes.
Can anyone offer advice on how to fix this? I miss putting new songs on my ipod!!
Thanks.

Backup stopped before completing. The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process

I am working with a client who is attempting to backup to a NAS device
The device is a linksys NSS6000 (Cisco device).
It’s a dual 1Gbit LAN device that supports CIFS / FTP and NFS transfers. It has only 1Gbit lan connected.
The device has 4 * 500 gb sata drives in raid 1 attached.
Cables go from cat 5 to fiber back to cat5. (The NAS is located at a neighboring office) The switches are 1gbit.
Server is a win2k8r1 fully up to date.
When backing up to the NAS device, the following error occurs:
Running backup of volume Local Disk(D:), copied (86%).
Running backup of volume Local Disk(D:), copied (90%).
Running backup of volume Local Disk(D:), copied (94%).
Running backup of volume Local Disk(D:), copied (98%).
Backup of volume Local Disk(D:) completed successfully.
Backup stopped before completing.
Summary of backup:
Backup stopped before completing.
The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
If we redirect the backup to a folder on a 2008 share, the backup completes successfully.
Only when backing up to the linksys NSS6000 does the error occur.
No other backup processes are writing to the NAS device so I can't understand why the process thinks the file is
being used by another process.
One thing we did notice that when the backup to the NAS device occurs, throughput is about 150 mbit average
On the 2008 server shares we successfully backup to, the through put is 500 mbit. Not sure if that is important, but
might be worth mentioning.
The following event log entry was noted at the end of the backup.
The description for Event ID '519' in Source 'Microsoft-Windows-Backup' cannot be found.
The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display the message,
or you may not have permission to access them. The following information is part of the
event:'2009-05-12T10:13:31.617Z', '', '2147942432', '%%2147942432'
Any ideas?
Thanks..Michael

I am also seeing the same problem backing up nightly to a brand new NAS device (WD My Book Live)
All the error codes are the same as those in this thread.
From Windows Event Viewer:
The backup operation that started at '‎2011‎-‎03‎-‎25T06:00:19.811302700Z' has failed with following error code '2147942432' (The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.). Please review the event details
for a solution, and then rerun the backup operation once the issue is resolved.

TS3694 I am trying to restore my ipod and it stopped moving before the restoration was completed. How do I re-set the ipod. I can't turn it off.

How do I turn off I pod touch?   The restore screen is stuck

Thanks for the assistance. I was able to restore my I pod after letting the battery run down. I then synced the I pod to my new computer. Most of the songs moved from the cloud to the actual I pod drive. But, many of them did not. I tried downloading them from the cloud on my I pod, but this didn’t work. Will I be able to restore the missing songs? Thanks, Cleveland.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

TS1538 download of restore/recovery stops before completion,saying it is password protected

Forgot password and wanted to do a recovery. I followed the recommended steps but download of restore/recovery stops before completion,saying it is password protected.

Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.

"Stop running the script?" error after power-up and before starting Firefox

I have a Windows 7 x64 Enterprise system with Firefox 10.0.02. I'm getting the error
''''''Stop running this script?'''
'''A script on this page is causing your web browser to run slowly. If it continues to run, your computer may become unresponsive''''''
after I power up my PC, but before I open Firefox.
The error message, of course, does not identify what "this page" is, or tell anything about the script. The error message doesn't even say it's from Firefox (or Internet Explorer, for that matter).
I've done a virus scan, a spyware scan, and an adware scan, but the error keeps popping up.
Everything I've found on the web about this error assumes the problem is with Internet Explorer, but I don't use IE.
Suggestions?
Thanks.

Start/All programs/Startup has only McAfee Security Scan Plus. After power-up, clicking on Show Hidden Icons lists Sound Effect, McAfee Total Protection, Spybot-SD Resident, Ad-Aware, and a flag labeled "Solve PC issues: 1 message".
If I click the flag, it opens Windows Backup Troubleshooting Options. The message is "Check your backup settings. Windows cannot find the disk or network location where your backups are being saved". There are two options -- Change backup settings and Try to run backup again.
This is because I do not usually have the external herd drive I use for backup attached. I ignore this message.
Also, Sql Server 2008 R2 and Oracle 11gR2 start up, along with IIS. I use this PC for various courses.
FWIW, I've attached screen grabs of the Services and Processes from Windows Task Manager.
Thanks.

I called Apple tech support. The device turns out to be a WiFi extender. I never would have guessed that the extender would show up on the list since I wouldn't think of it as an airplay device, and in the list, it shows a little speaker icon. In the process of talking with Apple, I gained a greater understanding of how airplay works.
It turns out that there is no stored list of devices in a file on the mac, or anywhere else. I have seen a lot of traffic on the web from people trying to modify this list, but there isn't one. iTunes, and other devices simply poll the network for airplay devices from time to time.
Have a very happy holiday!
I would like to get rid of "just give me the aster, and stop wasting my time", and replace it with my name. The Apple tech support guy never saw that before. Just my luck.

After I covered 250 miles I got the automated congratualtions, but now after every run I get the recorded message again saying I just covered another 250 miles. Can I reset or stop it without completly resetting everything?

I run with the Nano and shoe sensor. After I covered 250 miles I got the automated congratualtions, but now after every run I get the recorded message again saying I just covered another 250 miles. Can I reset or stop it without completly resetting everything?

Same issue here. This is really disappointing. I used to look forward to the milestone messages after each run, especially when I was surprised by a celebrity voice. Now, it's the same thing every single time, "Congratulations on another 250 miles. Way to go!" or something along those lines. I was proud of the 250 mile mark, but please...I don't want to hear it every time!
I hope there's some movement on this issue.
